Richard; I did not think anyone was attempting to disparage Emerging Company Report. It is important to me however, that people are fully aware of what we are and what we are not. While we do charge a cash fee for companies to appear on Emerging Company Report, the $8,500.00 fee is extremely modest by anyone's standards. We do not accept company stock under any circumstances, nor do we purchase stock in the companies we feature. Emerging Company Report reaches 22 million homes in the USA and 1.2 million in Canada. The program is broadcast 4 times per week on cable TV and is available worldwide "on-demand" from our web site. We do not recommend stocks, companies; do not make projections, offer tips or opinions. We simply offer our viewing audience an opportunity to meet and hear the people behind these emerging-growth companies and receive free information in the mail with a free telephone call. Obviously, the companies appreciate the opportunity to tell their story to an international television audience. Virtually all of the companies which appear on Emerging Company Report contact us, either directly or through an Investor Relations firm or Investment Banking firm. We usually end up turning away 2 to 3 out of every five companies which approach us. While we do not perform a financial analysis of companies or research the ownership of shares, we do require management can demonstrate to us, with written materials, elements of a business plan which shows management is interested in building the company. "Pump & Dump" companies need not apply for a profile on Emerging Company Report. A visit to our web site at emergingcompany.com can provide you with any other information you might like. You can also request a free copy of our monthly newsletter. Donald A. Baillargeon Executive Producer Emerging Company Report television program
