received this email from Metasource regarding float:

Hi Nestor,

Thank you for your email. Our float is currently around 6 million shares, meaning that of the roughly 19 million shares outstanding, about 30% are freely trading. The rest of the shares are in restricted stock.

Please contact this email if you would like further information regarding our company.

MetaSource Group Announces Company's Consideration of 'Certificate Only' Trading
Tuesday February 18, 11:46 am ET


NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 2003--MetaSource Group, Inc. (OTCBB: MTSR - News) announced today that is it considering the possible adoption of "certificate only" or "custody only" trading of its shares as a measure to ensure the integrity of the trading of its shares and to protect against naked short selling.



Mr. Courtney Smith, Chairman of MetaSource, states, "Our shareholders have expressed concern over the abnormally depressed price of our shares. They, and we, are concerned that they do not represent the strong value of our company. Some of our shareholders have stated that they believe that our Company's shares have been illegally shorted thus artificially reducing the price."

He further stated, "We are listening very closely to our shareholders. The management of this company are the largest shareholders and are also obviously concerned. No insider has ever sold any shares of the company. We further know that our float is relatively small so our shareholder's concerns that we may be seeing our stock shorted may be very accurate. We are investigating this potential now."

Mr. Smith continued, "We are beginning the due diligence now to determine if we wish to shift to a custody only style of trading. We will be moving very quickly to make a decision to ensure that we protect our fellow shareholders interests. We have no arguments with legal short selling and believe that it can serve a valuable economic purpose. However, naked short selling is illegal and attacks the very integrity of the capital markets as it represents illegal manipulation of a share price. "

Short selling of a stock occurs when someone borrows shares of a company and sells them looking to buy them back later and return them to their rightful owner. "Naked" short selling is selling a stock without the borrowing of actual shares and never delivering the shares to cover the short position. This has the effect of creating an artificial supply of stock thus artificially reducing the price of the stock. This is illegal in the United States. However, naked short sellers can execute these illegal shorts in other countries, thus circumventing US law. One way to sharply reduce this problem is to not allow clearing through the Depositary Trust Company but to instead use custody only trading.

Under "custody only" or "certificate only" trading, MetaSource would implement a share transfer system requiring the delivery of physical stock certificates. Investors would continue to use their broker for purchases and sales and would request the physical delivery of all of their shares. The certificates received by the Company's transfer agent for selling by investors would be cancelled and a new certificate for an equal number of shares would be issued in the name of the buyer. Therefore, no certificates would be issued in the name of Depository Trust Company, CEDE & Co. or any other nominee and MetaSource shares would no longer clear through the DTC system. It would be in the best interests of all shareholders to ensure that they participate in this 'custody only' trading since the share price will more properly reflect the company's status.

The Company believes that there would be no inconvenience to our fellow shareholders but that this would increase the integrity of trading in our Company's shares.

The Company is now actively investigating this new policy and will make a decision in a timely manner.

Mr. Smith said, "We have created an exciting company that has made four acquisitions in just the last two months. Our revenues are moving sharply higher with each acquisitions. We have a very strong pipeline of potential acquisition candidates. We believe we have built a solid platform for growth in the software sector. It is a shame that our share price does not reflect these strong positives. It may be that moving to a custody only trading method will restore some sense to our share price and help to reward our valued shareholders for their confidence in MetaSource."

MetaSource is headquartered in New York City, with offices throughout the U.S. and the UK. For further information please visit www.metasourcegroup.com.

Spitzer Still Eyeing Short Seller Effort

Mar 5, 2003 (financialwire.net via COMTEX) -- (FinancialWire) New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer told hedge fund managers Tuesday that his department is not looking at the kind of regulatory action that has befallen investment banks.

Nevertheless, the Attorney General and other regulators are continuing to look into Gotham Partners, which distributed suspect critical reports on MBIA, Inc. (NYSE: MBI) and the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corp. (NYSE: MBI) that observers have said helped create artificial and possibly manipulative short selling in those two companies.

The MBIA and Farmer Mac are among 62 companies that are associated on one side or another of a growing national problem that last week saw an SEC fine of $1 million for manipulative short selling, and an effort by the Depository Trust Corporation to enforce "regulatory" actions it has now admitted in an SEC filing it had no authority to enforce.

The complete list of the 62 companies now associated on one side or another of the naked short seller controversy includes A.G. Edwards, Inc. (NYSE: AGE), Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corp.

MetaSource Group Announces Company's Consideration of 'Certificate Only' Trading
Tuesday February 18, 11:46 am ET


NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 2003--MetaSource Group, Inc. (OTCBB: MTSR - News) announced today that is it considering the possible adoption of "certificate only" or "custody only" trading of its shares as a measure to ensure the integrity of the trading of its shares and to protect against naked short selling.



Mr. Courtney Smith, Chairman of MetaSource, states, "Our shareholders have expressed concern over the abnormally depressed price of our shares. They, and we, are concerned that they do not represent the strong value of our company. Some of our shareholders have stated that they believe that our Company's shares have been illegally shorted thus artificially reducing the price."

He further stated, "We are listening very closely to our shareholders. The management of this company are the largest shareholders and are also obviously concerned. No insider has ever sold any shares of the company. We further know that our float is relatively small so our shareholder's concerns that we may be seeing our stock shorted may be very accurate. We are investigating this potential now."

Mr. Smith continued, "We are beginning the due diligence now to determine if we wish to shift to a custody only style of trading. We will be moving very quickly to make a decision to ensure that we protect our fellow shareholders interests. We have no arguments with legal short selling and believe that it can serve a valuable economic purpose. However, naked short selling is illegal and attacks the very integrity of the capital markets as it represents illegal manipulation of a share price. "

Short selling of a stock occurs when someone borrows shares of a company and sells them looking to buy them back later and return them to their rightful owner. "Naked" short selling is selling a stock without the borrowing of actual shares and never delivering the shares to cover the short position. This has the effect of creating an artificial supply of stock thus artificially reducing the price of the stock. This is illegal in the United States. However, naked short sellers can execute these illegal shorts in other countries, thus circumventing US law. One way to sharply reduce this problem is to not allow clearing through the Depositary Trust Company but to instead use custody only trading.

Under "custody only" or "certificate only" trading, MetaSource would implement a share transfer system requiring the delivery of physical stock certificates. Investors would continue to use their broker for purchases and sales and would request the physical delivery of all of their shares. The certificates received by the Company's transfer agent for selling by investors would be cancelled and a new certificate for an equal number of shares would be issued in the name of the buyer. Therefore, no certificates would be issued in the name of Depository Trust Company, CEDE & Co. or any other nominee and MetaSource shares would no longer clear through the DTC system. It would be in the best interests of all shareholders to ensure that they participate in this 'custody only' trading since the share price will more properly reflect the company's status.

The Company believes that there would be no inconvenience to our fellow shareholders but that this would increase the integrity of trading in our Company's shares.

The Company is now actively investigating this new policy and will make a decision in a timely manner.

Mr. Smith said, "We have created an exciting company that has made four acquisitions in just the last two months. Our revenues are moving sharply higher with each acquisitions. We have a very strong pipeline of potential acquisition candidates. We believe we have built a solid platform for growth in the software sector. It is a shame that our share price does not reflect these strong positives. It may be that moving to a custody only trading method will restore some sense to our share price and help to reward our valued shareholders for their confidence in MetaSource."

MetaSource is headquartered in New York City, with offices throughout the U.S. and the UK. For further information please visit www.metasourcegroup.com.
