Shareholder Letter From Douglas Beatty |
August 24, 2000
Dear shareholders,
First, I would like to thank all the members of our great team for
taking
the time to write and call this office with respect to the
correspondence I
issued yesterday. On behalf of Struthers Inc. and our family of
companies,
I would like to say that the upbeat notes were indeed welcomed.
I'm glad
that I had the opportunity to clarify the issues discussed.
I also would like to take the opportunity to let everyone know that I
was
pleased to do an interview on the National Public Radio, business review
portion of the show. The interview Tuesday will be aired Thursday,
Aug. 31
at 7:51 AM. Although this interview will be aired in the state of
South
Carolina, station 89.9, I'll update shareholders if or when this
interview
will be released nationally. Despite the fact that this interview
was
limited to four minutes, the interviewer was so impressed with your
company
that he expressed a sincere interest in continuing to do follow-up
interviews as we grow. I truly believe we have a very unique
company and an
exciting story to share. He was also very impressed with the fact
that the
shareholders take so much time to educate new shareholders and potential
investors about the unique nature of our company. As he has
interviewed
numerous companies, his comments with respect to the development of
Struthers Inc. solidified my belief that we do indeed have a company we
can
be proud of.
I also have had the opportunity to review the videotaped interview,
which
was filmed at The World Pork Expo with respect to the Gourley ScopeT.
Ag-Day TV has supplied us with this short but very informative video
showing
how the Gourley ScopeT works, with Dr. Dennis Gourley narrating the
effect
this award-winning technology will have on the swine, sheep, and deer
industries. As most folks have not seen this video, I am sending
it out to
Tom at WallStreetNewsCast.com and I will ask him to add this video to
their
website and to download it to ours.
We are now starting our rollout program of media presentations and I
will
inform everyone as to the interviews being held, and whether they are
live
or taped for rebroadcasts on future dates. Struthers Inc. has
never been in
a better position than it is right now to start dealing with the media
and
informing the world as to what we have achieved.
Many folks have also requested an update as to the results of our embryo
transfers, which were completed prior to The World Pork Expo, and I am
excited to say that out of the embryos implanted non-surgically, a group
of
new Struthers teammates will be joining us within the next two weeks.
The
world's first offspring developed by implanting swine embryos
non-surgically
by the Gourley ScopeT will be greeting folks at the new boar stud
facility
ribbon-cutting ceremony. I would also like to ask the shareholders
to take
part in naming our new teammates and if you have any suggestions for
names,
just e-mail them to my attention and at the opening we will make a
selection
of names for the whole group of new teammates. As always, you'll
be updated
by a PR and correspondence about the new developments as they unfold.
As always, my warmest regards,
Douglas
