Chris Lewis, President of EMIS Inc. said, "Micro Cap public companies are often starved of market liquidity due to lack of brokerage and analyst coverage of this sector, and are forced to resort to paid-for coverage. The nature of this industry presents a significant challenge to many small public companies that do not have the knowledge or the resources to properly identify effective and responsible partners to help them grow their shareholder base. Our report and our consulting services to Micro Cap public companies are designed to address these issues."
