              Roth Capital Partners Stock Conferences are some of the
              largest in the nation for micro- and small-cap
              companies. Unlike Roth's West Coast conference, this
              event will focus on companies with market caps of under
              $500 million. Though smaller, the companies stay aligned
              with Roth's research focus of covering Technology,
              Healthcare, Financial Services and Consumer Products
              sectors.

              The conference also will feature several educational
              sessions, including one on China, which will explore the
              opportunities and pitfalls of investing in China, with a
              focus on regulatory issues. It will be led by renowned
              China expert and recently named Vice Chairman of Roth
              Capital Don Straszheim.

              A second panel will focus on Private Placement in Public
              Equity (PIPE) transactions, including key regulatory
              issues that companies must address when structuring an
              offering.

              A third panel will address Special Purpose Acquisition
              Companies (SPACs), an alternative funding mechanism that
              is generating growing interest in the investment
              community. Panelists will discuss how SPACs are
              evolving, including amounts raised, growing
              participation and longer term involvement by funds, and
              SEC and AMEX considerations.
