Business Wire
Fund managers, analysts, and investors will convene in New York
City on Thursday, September 15, 2005, for the 6th Annual Small-Cap
Discovery Conference, hosted by Wall Street Reporter Magazine, Inc.
Decision-makers from hedge funds and investment management firms
will be on hand at this sold-out event to listen to presentations
from CEOs of six rapidly emerging technology and biomedical firms,
including: -- MobilePro (OTC:MOBL) -- HearUSA (AMEX:EAR) --
Synthetic Blood (OTC:SYBD) -- Raptor Networks (OTC:RPTN) --
Biosante Pharmaceuticals (AMEX:BPA) -- Heska Corp. (NASDAQ:HSKA)
The Conference will commence with breakfast at 7:30 a.m. and is
scheduled to conclude at 12:00 p.m. Investment professionals are
invited to attend the Conference, and can register at
www.wallstreetreporter.com/sdc2. Wall Street Reporter's Small-Cap
Discovery Conference offers an unparalleled opportunity to gain
insight into new trends and investment opportunities in the
small-cap marketplace. Research in follow-up to past Wall Street
Reporter conferences indicates that companies presenting have
experienced an average stock price increase of 30% in the four to
eight weeks following their appearance. The popularity of the
sold-out Conference within the financial community stems from its
unique format, which melds traditional investment conference
practices with an unrehearsed, candid, and entirely objective
Q&A session with a panel of veteran industry analysts. The
analyst panels are directed to challenge the fundamentals of the
CEOs' presentations from an investor's perspective -- much like
judges on a reality television show -- thereby allowing companies
with strong and compelling stories to shine while exposing
weaknesses where they exist. "Presenting at the Small Cap Discovery
Conference is not for the CEO who is faint of heart," said Jack
Marks, Publisher of Wall Street Reporter Magazine. "The analyst
panels present questions that can cut to the core of a company's
business model. This is the antithesis of the 'softball' Q&A
that many business leaders have grown accustomed to. But for those
CEOs with a strong business case and a solid story, the upside of
presenting at the Small Cap Discovery Conference can be enormous."
Some companies that have presented in the past have seen stock
price increases of more than 150% in the weeks following the
Conference. "My sense is that the share price increases are
attributable to the quality of companies attracted to our format
more than anything else," continued Marks. "Over the years, the
conference has helped expose both great successes in the making as
well as those companies whose strategy and/or timing may be in need
of recalibrating. What makes the conferences great is that no
matter the outcome, the insight gleaned by audience, presenters,
and panelists is invaluable -- and often entertaining and
unexpected." The event will also be Web cast live on www.vcall.com.
