PrecisionIR™ Introduces Interactive Annual Reports with Two-Click Navigation

Interactive Reports Satisfy Investors’ Need for Accessible and Easy-to-Use Company Information

Richmond, VA – June 5, 2003 – WILink, a leading provider of global investor relations and investment information services, today announced the addition of an interactive annual report conversion service to the PrecisionIR^™ product line. PrecisionIR^™ offers the widest range of effective and affordable investor communication services in the investor relations industry. 

Interactive reports offer public companies a means to provide investors greater access to their company story while illustrating a commitment to open and credible disclosure. Companies can eliminate download delays for investors by offering a HTML version of their annual report. PrecisionIR's Interactive Report service will help companies react to investors' preference for online documents that are easier to access and provide ‘2 click' navigation to any section of the report. 

Features of PrecisionIR^™ Interactive Reports:

• Accessibility: Company reports will be 100% accessible to all shareholders. No plug-ins, file-downloads, or additional software is required. Document pages take approximately 30 seconds to download over a modem.
• Navigation: Two-click navigation allows investors to find what they want in a company report in two clicks. 
• Identical to the Printed Version: Since the interactive report is created from the company's PDF, it is identical to the printed version.
• No Proofreading Needed: Because the interactive report is identical to a company's PDF, it eliminates the need to proofread for accuracy, freeing up administrative involvement.
• Customization: PrecisionIR^™ can provide additional customized solutions for an interactive report including custom graphical design, JavaScript, Flash, feedback forms, and other services as needed.
• Cost-Effective and Easier: Three-day turnaround, custom templates, and competitive pricing makes PrecisionIR^™ Interactive Reports a cost-effective solution compared to the time and effort required with an internal project or other vendor.

"An interactive report gives the investor sought-after company information in an easy-to-use, easily accessible format. The PrecisionIR Interactive Report service uses patent-pending technology that drives the enhanced navigation and a level of integration that is unsurpassed," said J. Patrick Galleher, chief operating officer of WILink, Inc. "In addition to providing benefits to investors, our interactive reports are efficient for companies. Because our process converts from the PDF file, no proof reading is required and the price point is extremely reasonable."
