The foods will be prepared without adding fat, artificial flavorings, pesticides, antibiotics, chemicals, & other unnatural substances found in today's food production processes. The nationally renowned, award winning executive chef David Maltrotti is creating the innovative vegetarian dishes & high-quality healthy cuisine. There will be an organic juice health bar with made-to-order juices, smoothies, etc. The menu includes such things as vegetarian burgers, organic oven fries, Tuna steak, salmon burger, teriyaki tofu, Athenian spinach & feta cheese, & all sorts of other goodies.

For those of you that think vegetarian fare is probably bland & tasteless, I assure you that it is certainly not. I lived in San Diego for 15 years -- the baked stuffed Zucchini I had there was fabulous -- no meat dish could even come close to the taste. When you try the Healthy Bites Grill that will eventually come to your area, you will be pleasantly surprised.

The market is substantial. Americans spend more on fast food than on books, movies, magazines, newspapers, videos, & recorded music combined. The National Restaurant Association projected that 2000 sales in fast food restaurants will increase to $114.7 billion, a 4.4% increase over 1999. Add to this the fact that health food trends are on a decided upswing & you can see why this idea has merit.

Those who now go to fast food places are just the beginning -- there are a great many people who do not frequent them because they do not want to eat fattening, overly processed food loaded with artificial ingredients. When they have the opportunity to get fast service, food they enjoy, & food that will improve their health at the same time, many of them will be HEXS customers. HEXS closed 3/22/2000 @ 2.93.

rapidly increase its revenue. This is an emerging growth company. Its products contribute to the profitability of its customers. It entered 2000 with contracts in hand that are expected to generate revenues of over $3 million this year. NANX closed 3/22/2000 @ 13.43.

Disclaimer: The public companies featured in the Corporate Profiles listed in the "Special Situation" section on the Home Page of www.WallStreetCorner.com are our regular clients. Each such client pays an annual cash fee of $12,000, or alternatively, a monthly cash fee of $495 plus a negotiated number of Form 144 restricted shares for our service. We on rare occasions accept free-trading shares, but we usually hold such shares for the long pull - we do not engage in trading. Such fees are disclosed as part of the Corporate Profile prepared and posted on the particular company involved. The basic coverage provided to such clients primarily includes the preparation of their Corporate Profile, posting it here at WallStreetCorner.com, and the distribution of email alerts to our international database of investors and financial professionals when their Profile is initially posted, and each time their Profile is subsequently updated. We expect our clients to work with us in a team effort by calling us each time they have achieved a significant milestone. We then update their Profile and issue an additional email alert to our totally opt-in email database (as of July 2008, members of that database are from over 96 countries). The email distributions we make are a key element of our service -- those, as well as the updated Corporate Profile are what together are designed to achieve a gradual buildup of new shareholders who generally hold for the long term. If you are an officer at a public company and want the exposure afforded at WallStreetCorner.com, email Larry at up415@aol.com or call him at 843-645-2729.

All visitors to this site are urged to do two things before investing in any stock: (1) Call the company and ask questions -- if there is anything you do not like regarding such call, pass -- our goal is to bring you a selection of what we feel are growth situations with good long-term appreciation potential, but you must accept the responsibility of making your own decisions regarding which situations to invest in -- do not give up that responsibility; and (2) Consult a qualified financial professional before taking any actions in regards to buying, selling, or trading securities (stocks or other forms of equity). Companies covered in Conservative Speculator, a newsletter accessed from WallStreetCorner, or in any of Larry Oakley's other editorial venues ("Opinion," "Stock Pick," "Comment," and "Bold Ventures" columns, and in any other editorial venue to which Larry contributes) do not pay for such editorial coverage; the companies Larry covers editorially have never, do not now, and never will be charged for editorial coverage. The only paid portions of WallStreetCorner.com are the Profiles and email distributions (email distributions are a part of the client's package, but occasionally are paid for separately by non-clients - if a non-client wants to utilize our email distributions, the cost is $2,000 for the first distribution, $1,500 for the second, $1,000 for the third, and $500 for all subsequent distributions made for the same company). On occasion, Larry Oakley shares his opinion regarding a private company or its product or service. Bear in mind that nothing at that special section is an investment possibility.
