About Stockwire:

Stockwire is one of the largest communities for Micro Cap Investors. We are the only place on the internet to provide LIVE CHAT ROOMS for dedicated stocks.

We have also pioneering a new way to research companies before you invest them. It's called a Stockumentary. A Stockumentary is a documentary on a publicly traded company. Imagine a Dateline NBC segment, but on a publicly traded company. We are the first company to ever bring this type of quality research to investors in this format.

The Stockumentary has video interviews with management, product demos, video tours of office or factory, research reports, sec filings and much more. All of this is delivered to investors in high quality video, either by mail or email.

Stockwire.com is owned by Stockwire Research Group Inc. (SRGI) and is an independent electronic publication committed to providing our readers with factual information on selected publicly traded companies.

As detailed below, this publication accepts compensation from some of the companies from which it features.

All statements and expressions are the sole opinions of the editors and are subject to change without notice. A profile, description, or other mention of a company in the Newsletter is neither an offer nor solicitation to buy or sell any securities mentioned.

While we believe all sources of information to be factual and reliable, in no way do we represent or guarantee the accuracy thereof, nor the statements made herein.

We encourage our readers to invest carefully and read the investor information available at the web sites of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") at www.sec.gov and/or the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") at www.nasd.com. The NASD has published information on how to invest carefully at its web site.

Stockwire.com is not a registered investment advisor or broker-dealer. All companies are chosen on the basis of certain financial analysis and other pertinent criteria with a view toward maximizing the upside potential for investors while minimizing the downside risk, whenever possible.

From time to time SRGI sells shares in the open market it receives as compensation for coverage of client companies. Since the shares are received as compensation for services as previously disclosed, and not for investment purposes, the editors do not view the sale of the shares as contradictory to any advice delivered in the content. This should be viewed as a conflict of interest by shareholders or prospective shareholders of the client companies.

Moreover, as detailed below, this publication accepts compensation from third party consultants and/or companies which it features on Stockwire.com. To the degrees enumerated herein, this newsletter and website should not be regarded as an independent publication.

The editor, members of the editor's family, and/or entities with which the editor is affiliated aside from Stockwire Research Group Inc.

THE READER SHOULD VERIFY ALL CLAIMS AND DO THEIR OWN DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE INVESTING IN ANY SECURITIES MENTIONED. INVESTING IN SECURITIES IS SPECULATIVE AND CARRIES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. THE INFORMATION FOUND IN THIS PROFILE IS PROTECTED BY THE COPYRIGHT LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND MAY NOT BE COPIED, OR REPRODUCED IN ANY WAY WITHOUT THE EXPRESSED, WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE EDITORS OF STOCKWIRE.COM.

We often accept restricted shares of company stock; by SEC regulations, restricted shares cannot be sold into the market for a period of at least one year from the time that the shares are issued. In such cases, we detail in the Disclaimer the specific term of any restrictions. We also receive compensation in the form of stock options, in which case we receive the right to buy shares of the stock of the company at issue, at a specified time and a specified price. In such circumstances, we specify on our Disclaimer the terms of the options received. On occasion, we also accept free-trading shares in a company that we cover. However, by policy we generally do not buy or sell any shares of a company's stock within three trading days after any such company's profile, commentary, or other company-specific information is disseminated on Stockwire.com Web site. In cases where we do trade within the three day window, our volume will never represent more than 5% of the daily volume, thereby minimizing any effect we could have on the potential price movement.

While our policies as detailed above are designed to minimize any impact upon our members of a conflict of interest between our company and our members, each member should be fully aware that such potential and actual conflicts of interest may well exist due to the compensation structure detailed herein. For this reason, and because the information contained on Stockwire.com is updated on a regular basis as circumstances change, each member is strongly encouraged to periodically review the Profile Compensation section at http://www.stockwire.com/disclaimer_profiles.htm.
