LAS VEGAS – Public Company Management Corporation (OTCBB:PUBC) today announced it has retained Hawkwood Capital Partners to spearhead the company’s strategic alliance initiatives. Scott Carroll, principal of Hawkwood Capital Partners and a veteran of Merrill Lynch (NYSE:MER - News), Citicorp Mortgage (NYSE:C - News) and Amerihealth, Inc., will manage the business development initiative program. PUBC believes that most small and medium-sized businesses are unaware of the fact that they could go public quickly and inexpensively without having to go through a costly and time-consuming Initial Public Offering (IPO). The company’s services offer the small and medium-sized companies fast, cost-effective ways to go public and draw upon the wealth of investment capital that is available to public corporations. Hawkwood Capital Partners will focus on developing powerful marketing alliances with compatible companies to create new business opportunities for PUBC. “There are literally thousands of private businesses that could potentially tap into the capital available for public companies. PUBC serves as a one-stop shop for businesses that want to take advantage of public capital markets. Our Pubco White Papers subsidiary (www.pubcowhitepapers.com) focuses on educating business owners on the options available to them. If a company decides to go public, it can utilize the services of our Go Public Today subsidiary (www.gopublictoday.com). And, after the company goes public, we can continue advising them on the regulatory and compliance issues through our Public Company Management Services, Inc. subsidiary (www.pcms-team.com),” explains Stephen Brock, Chief Executive Officer of PUBC. Taking companies public is a multi-billion dollar industry. Disclosed global stock and bond related underwriting fees reached $14.4 billion in 2003. PUBC believes these underwriting fees indicate that traditional IPOs are prohibitively expensive for most companies, and that only a fraction of companies can actually qualify for or ever hope to achieve them. “We offer a unique, direct and lower cost alternative to going public. However, going public through a reverse listing or by filing the appropriate documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission can be a highly complex procedure. We explain it to our clients in plain English and manage the process for them. Hawkwood Capital Partners could be very instrumental in helping us establish strategic alliances with companies that could benefit from our services, thus growing our portfolio of clients even faster,” says Brock. PUBC’s revenue model is based on an equity-based fee structure. This benefits both the company’s clients, and PUBC and its shareholders. An equity-based compensation minimizes the cash requirements for the company’s clients and increases PUBC’s commitment to its client’s success. This can also maximize shareholder value as successful projects potentially increase the value of the client company’s shares in PUBC’s investment portfolio. For the nine months ending September 30, 2004 PUBC reported a total income of $2,544,812 with an EPS of $0.08. The company’s revenues and net income increased by 328% and 2,184%, respectively, compared to the full 12-month fiscal year 2003 figure, making an annualized percentage increase even higher.
