TENNET,

FACTS SECTION:

Fact 1.

The following appears on the Emerging Company Report.

Emerging Company Report is not a stock promotion program. We do not offer a recommendation of featured companies or their stocks. We do not offer tips, picks, suggestions or performance projections of companies or their stocks. Featured companies pay a cash fee of $9,500.00 for their appearance. Emerging Company Report does not accept company stock as payment for services and is not compensated in any manner based upon the performance of a company's stock.

Emerging Company Report is not a stock analysis company. While featured companies must meet certain criteria in order to be accepted for profile on the television program, we do not perform a financial analysis of featured companies, nor do we research the ownership of a company's outstanding shares of stock.


Bolding is my contribution.

Fact 2.
The SEC recently slapped Emerging Company Report for not disclosing that it is compensated for it's reports.

C. From at least May 1997 through September 1998, Baillargeon committed or caused violations of Section 17(b) of the Securities Act in that, by the use of means or instruments of transportation or communication in interstate commerce or by use of the mails, he published, gave publicity to, or circulated notices, circulars, advertisements, newspapers, articles, letters, investment services, or communications which, though not purporting to offer a security for sale, described securities for a consideration received or to be received, directly or indirectly, from an issuer, underwriter or dealer, without fully disclosing the receipt, whether past or prospective, of such consideration and the amount thereof.

D. As part of and in furtherance of such conduct and activities, Baillargeon publicized more than fifty securities in the ECReport Media. Baillargeon sold to the issuers of these securities "guest appearance packages," which included a ten-minute guest appearance for the issuer on one ECReport television program, one-minute "vignettes" of the guest appearance on the next three programs, and updates on the issuer's stock price on the next thirteen programs. The package also typically included a company profile in two issues of the ECReport newsletter and three months of internet site promotion and linking from the ECReport web page. For some issuers, Baillargeon also agreed to provide a national press release via Business Wire.

E. As part of and in furtherance of such conduct and activities, Baillargeon received, directly or indirectly, compensation ranging from $2500 to $17,000 for each guest appearance package sold. Baillargeon did not disclose in the ECReport Media the amount of money he had received from the issuers to publicize their companies and stock.

OPINIONS SECTION

Another paid promotion. Not a big deal, nothing against the law. Doesn't mean that this is a scam company. It doesn't mean any thing at all. It doesn't mean that the company has anything going for it either. IN MY OPINION ( please do your own DD and form you're own opinion), companies that spend more time (and money) promoting their stock as opposed to their products raises a red flag.
