(original release: http://www.vstex.net/?p=103&id=169) Since the publication of our Q2 2008 single step income statement we have been adding to it more data, to be used for research, study and statistical purposes. The latest addition (yet not the only one so far) is a report of the number of transactions, used symbols, traded shares, value traded and commissions, for the first six months of this year. Unlike other exchanges, using absolute/partial values with little or no disclosure about facts contributing to those numbers, we're releasing to investors, the press and the general public more and more data. Our top priority is to maintain a fair and orderly market. This can only be achieved through an extensive self regulation and the disclosure of key data. Our exchange has been the first to set specific shareholder rights and has been the first to regulate "public shells", mergers and reverse mergers. Our extensive set of rules covers several crytical areas, where other exchanges have no set or public policies. Unlike some exchanges we prohibit our directors, executives, staff members to have active roles in VSTEX issuers. Besides the controlling company VST, you won't find on our exchange any company where our insiders are involved with. To avoid any bias, Vstex Company enforces strict policies on transparency, ethics and insider trading. While we approach our first year since opening to the general public, we're proud to look at what we've built. Some exchanges pay a lot of attention to their standing amongst the others; we don't. This is not a race and we'll be more than glad to share our "VSTEX way" with others, like we started doing with SL CapEx. The good of the financial community comes way before anything else; we'll let others worry about absolute or relative standings. Samantha Goldflake Communication and Public Relations Director --
