Don't expect the rat packs at BCB to address the issue of stock price at this time. This is quite obvious as they continue to hype up the old news regarding their alliance with Lernout & Hauspie. I recently check out a ISDN newswire last week revealing a partnership involving Bell mobililty with Omnivoice, a company operating in the almost the same nature of business as BCB. I wasn't to surprised when I found out that they also had an alliance with Learnout & Hauspie for digital voice transcription. I firmly believe that BCB is over playing their ties with Learnout & Hauspie. I don't think BCB realizes that they have interest with other voice technology companies as well.

Regarding the stock performance since the August high, I can only point out the similar trends in small cap indices like the Russell 2000 which went from 410 in August to 303 in October and is starting to recover now. The Wilshire Small Cap has a similar chart. With a micro-cap like BCB, because of the extra risk involved, a typical investor will often try to mitigate the risk by imposing a more stringent investment criteria, i.e., holding the company to financial targets and punishing when it doesn't meet them. For a young company simultaneously developing products and channels for emerging markets, there is no history to guide setting financial targets, almost ensuring a depressed stock price until it can prove its potential through improving financial performance, quarter by quarter. Yes, we do intend to proceed with a NASDAQ-track strategy, with the first step being a co-listing on the OTC Bulletin Board. Listing rules have tightened so we're complying with the new requirements and expect to meet them over the next quarter. The OTC BB listing will also make us eligible for a new investor audience in the US, for which we have a publicity campaign that will unfold as we hit internal milestones. Flora
