Hot Web, Inc. Recaps August 27th Open Conference Call
Hot Web, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HWBI) today issued a
recap of last week's open conference call, hosted after the markets close
on Monday, August 27th by Company Chairman, George Stevens, and President
and CEO, Brian Hanold.
The open conference call, which lasted approximately 40 minutes and played
host to an intimate group of 38 individuals, provided an open and informal
platform for participants to ask direct questions to and receive direct
answers from the Company's senior management. In answering participant's
questions, Mr. Steven's and Mr. Hanold reviewed the powerful simplicity of
the Company's business model, the ability to replicate the model to achieve
potentially enormous future growth, the importance of maintaining the
highest levels of integrity and service to fuel the company's already
stellar reputation and increase word-of-mouth referrals as a growth
catalyst and, lastly, the Company's past and current successes given
limited human resources and the new prospect of creating efficiencies and
scale in the Company's vehicle inspections and listing process created by
Hot Web's Regional Representative program.
Additional points-of-interest discussed on the call included:
-- Management emphasized that it had no immediate plans for financing or
to engage in any other dillutive event. Additionally, management assured
participants that there were no current plans for a reverse split of any
kind and that a reverse split would only occur to either facilitate the
closing of a major "platform" acquisition or to meet minimum share price
requirements needed for listing on a bona-fide exchange, such as the
American Stock Exchange.
-- Management reiterated the current share structure: 250 Million
"authorized" common shares; 229 Million "outstanding" shares and
approximately 180 Million "floating" common shares (shares in the DTC
system).
-- Management reiterated its commitment to shareholder transparency and
voluntary disclosure of financial and operational information, but noted
that OTCBB listing will not be possible until such time as the Company can
responsibly incur the additional costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley
compliance.
-- Management discussed that a number of acquisition candidates are
currently being approached, negotiated with or are in various stages of due
diligence.
-- Management reviewed its commitment to the development of the Company's
25 branded and category-specific Internet domains, particularly focusing on
the building-out of the Company's airplane, RV, boat, vehicle finance,
insurance and warranty businesses in the near-term.
-- Management elaborated on the lengthy and highly selective process of
recruiting and training new regional representatives and remarked that the
Company is intently focused on vastly increasing this Regional Rep base
through the recruitment of new reps at various regional vehicle events this
fall and winter.
Company Chairman, George Stevens, commented, "The feedback we have received
from Hot Web stakeholders who participated in the conference call has been
encouraging. Our intent was to provide as much information to the
participants as possible in the most 'matter-of-fact' way possible, and I
believe we succeeded, as participant feedback suggests that the open and
honest hype-free discussion was appreciated." He continued, "We are an ever
vigilant ear when it comes to the needs of all of our constituent
stakeholders. Aside from shareholders, I find myself frequently discussing
the quality of the Hot Web experience with customers and believe our
shareholders should take a look at a snapshot of the customer feedback we
have generated from our unflinching commitment to quality and customer
satisfaction, for it is what will make Hot Web a long term success. In the
meantime, I expect that we will be sharing some new listings within the
next week that will confirm the building excitement around what Hot Web is
doing in the world of vehicle consignments."
