PETE from STAMFORD, CT,

Re: I see no conflict in having the UTEK Employee 401K having BJ Associates Money Management as one of its' employee investment choices on the one hand, and having Bob recommend UTEK stock on the other hand. The former has to do with UTEK employees and the latter has to do with UTEK, the company.

Whereas there is no quid pro quo (sp?), there might be an appearance of a conflict of interest. That is, what if in order for the BJ Group to have access to the UTEK 401(k) plan (and the annual fees that go with such an arrangement), Bob promised UTEK 401(k) decision makers to pump UTEK stock to his unsuspecting subscribers.

I have no evidence that this was the case. This is just an example of what can be perceived as a conflict of interest by some.

Best Regards,

Rillinois
