Thomson Financial to Offer Conference Call Summaries, Transcripts

CCN (http://www.ccnsource.com) is a provider of corporate conference call reports to the investment community. FDfn (http://www.fdfn.com) is a company that offers near-real-time, fully synchronized interactive, and full-text transcripts of earnings conference calls directly to subscribers via the Internet.

"Our buy- and sell-side institutional clients need to keep track of information relayed during corporate conference calls and Webcasts, but listening to these calls in their entirety is time-consuming and not always a viable option," said Eric Frank, executive vice president of Thomson Financial's Corporate Group. "Thomson Financial's conference call summaries and transcripts save clients time by providing searchable full-text transcripts and concise, timely, unbiased summaries of events held by the companies relevant to their investments. This enables our clients to streamline their securities analysis and research process and make superior investment decisions."

Available next month, Thomson Financial clients will be able to access conference call summaries and transcripts via First Call Events, a calendar that includes corporate earnings announcements, conference calls, Webcasts, sell-side conferences, and analyst meetings. Additionally, summaries and transcripts will soon be available through a variety of Thomson applications, including First Call Web and First Call Analyst.
