Jim,

Yea, it's tough to read this correctly. This part indicates that CMKX "might" be affected, but I think they will get a pass.(IMHO). I bolded several parts that might pertain to CMKX but I'm not certain. I think you're right...just wait & see what happens in a few days is the best approach.

Pink Sheets is now extending the information disclosure policy to the issuers of securities in which unsolicited quotes were entered into the Pink Sheets prior to October 2004. Companies whose securities meet these criteria are required to make adequate current information available to the public by February 15, 2005. After that date, if the required disclosure has not been made, Pink Sheets will remove the display of quotations in the stock from www.pinksheets.com until such time as the required information is made available to the public according to Pink Sheets guidelines (see below). We believe that Pink Sheets should not be used to make quotations for an issuer’s securities publicly available unless adequate current information is available to the public regarding the issuer and its securities. We will also publish a warning to investors on the quote page of non-compliant issuers on www.pinksheets.com advising them of the risks of investing in securities of issuers that have never made adequate current information available to the public.

Notification of this new policy was sent in January directly to the companies that are required to comply. You can identify whether a security is quoted on an Unsolicited basis on the Pink Sheets by entering the trading symbol and viewing the “Quote” page. On that page, under the trading symbol and company name, it should say “Primary Venue: Pink Sheets”. Then, if the security is quoted on an unsolicited basis, directly underneath you will see the following: “Quote Status: Unsolicited.” If “Quote Status: Unsolicited” is not displayed, then this disclosure requirement and the February 15th compliance deadline do not apply to the issuer.
