Entrex PCI Releases First Issue of “AlternativeMonthly;” Results Contrary to Economic Trends

Chicago, IL, June 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Entrex Private Company Index (PCI) will release the first issue of its new publication “AlternativeMonthly” (Report volume 508) on June 9, 2008. This research resource for alternative investors in private companies includes overall Index statistics current as of Q2, CEO sentiment data, private company employment data and features interviews with CEOs of 20 portfolio companies.

Featured companies range from $3M – $60M in annual revenue for 2007 and the group reflects a median 2007-over-2006 revenue growth rate of 44.5%. This collection of companies represents a broad and diverse range of industry sectors and North American geographical locations.

Each company’s profile includes revenue statistics in the form of a chart comparing their three-year performance trends, by quarter, to the growth trends of the overall Entrex Private Company Index, the DJIA, NASDAQ Composite Index, S&P Small Cap 600 and a select group of public micro cap peers—all during the corresponding time period.

Stephen H. Watkins, founder and CEO of Entrex, shares his views about importance of the report by saying “the companies featured in this inaugural issue of the “AlternativeMonthly” are an excellent example of the opportunity that institutional capital investors may be missing because, today, there are limited avenues to invest in companies with revenues of $250 Million and lower. We are showcasing 20 great Main Street America companies that provide jobs, needed products and services and see average revenue growth well over 20% a year. The PCI is complied monthly from revenues of a portfolio of companies just like, and including these, featured firms—it’s our mission to focus attention on this untapped investment market segment.”

The PCI is published by the research arm of Entrex, which created The Capital Market System for Private Companies™. The Entrex exchange aims to find, research, track, manage and trade interests in private companies through the patent protected TIGRcub™ security.

The inaugural issue of “AlternativeMonthly” is available by sneak preview online at www.privatecompanyindex.com. Contact Entrex directly if you’d like a printed copy. The next edition of the “AlternativeMonthly” is scheduled for release in Q3 2003 and will feature a greater number of private companies.
