The initial coverage of eLinear by Access 1 Financial noted that "eLinear has demonstrated success from its unique business model, aimed at targeting both small to medium sized businesses and Fortune 500 companies, in second tier Internet markets." "Additionally, eLinear's future growth will be driven by four principal factors: (1) extending its existing customer base to include new clients of both the small-to-medium size and Fortune 2000 firms; (2) aggressively expanding into new markets in the second tier of Internet growth through traditional means, as well as through mergers and acquisition; (3) developing new technical analysis and design solutions as the Internet and e-commerce are further developed and refined; and (4) providing market superior products and services at competitive cost."

The report also suggested the use of turnkey products and templates to smaller businesses allowing eLinear competitive advantage in providing technically superior services at affordable cost. This, and the Company's position in regional markets, creates significant barriers-to-entry for competitors.

Access 1 Financial's also included statements regarding eLinear's investment potential, noting, "eLinear is currently embarking on an aggressive new program of regional expansion. Driven by its considerable operating success in the Denver second-tier market, the Company plans to expand into three new markets in Q1 and Q2 of 2000. eLinear plans to enter these new markets through two means: acquisition or mergers with existing regional companies and the "salesperson" driven approach. eLinear is currently planning three mergers and acquisitions in Q1 2000. The Company will fuel these acquisitions and mergers with proceeds from a secondary stock offering currently planned for Q2 2000, as eLinear plans to enter the Nasdaq Small Cap Market."
