EMERGENCY MEETING OF PUBLIC COMPANY CEOs, CFOs AND ATTORNEYS, FUNDERS, IR PRACTITIONERS Wednesday, June 15, 2005 SOUTHGATE TOWER / EMPIRE ROOM 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. / Cash Bar Available 371 7th Avenue at 31st Street Directly Across From Penn Station The change at the top at the SEC creates an even bigger need for this meeting, as initiatives now in place could literally get lost in the shuffle! If you are a public company executive or attorney, you need to be present. If you are a shareholder, your investment could be at stake, and you should urge your company's executives to attend and participate. This meeting directly precedes the second public meeting of the SEC Advisory Committee on Smaller Public Companies (under $200m) Thursday, June 16, from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Friday, June 17, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at Columbia University Law School, Jerome Hall, Room 103, 435 West 116th Street. sec.gov sec.gov SEC Advisory Committee members will be present Wednesday evening to explain their Agenda and hear your concerns. Moderator Marshal Shichtman, Esq. will officially present any outcome or proposals to the SEC on Thursday and Friday. Please download the attached flyer for complete information, but here are the major issues: 1. Sarbanes-Oxley 404 is looming. This costly boondoggle for smaller public companies is scheduled to be implemented full force 9 months from now! Are you ready? Do you have enough available cash to meet all the requirements?! Do you have the auditors necessary to audit your auditors' audits and other nonsense lined up and ready to go? If not, you may not even be able to find one in time. 2. And, to add insult to injury, just as late filings due to 404 are coming, and as late filings among smaller public companies are a certainty, Nasdaq has now proposed a rule to the SEC that substantive late filers on the OTCBB should be kicked off and banned for a year! If this all seems okay to you, or if you are expecting someone else to step to the plate and save you, your company and your shareholders, you know the story ... If, on the other hand, you're ready to stand in the trenches and stop this steamroller from barreling over your company and your market value, we cordially invite you to the meeting, to be heard, to be seen, and to be effective. There are people on the committee prepared to answer your plight, but only if enough step forward to say they are concerned.
