Aerosonic’s Disclosure Policy
The SEC published Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) to restrict selective disclosure of material information by public companies. Of particular attention, the SEC emphasized strongly its intent to enforce its rule on selective disclosure regarding "earnings guidance." Specifically, the SEC regulation states, "When an issuer official engages in a private discussion with an analyst who is seeking guidance about earnings estimates, he or she takes on a high degree of risk under Regulation FD."
Aerosonic will continue its ongoing investor relations and public relations communication efforts. Internally, Aerosonic has reiterated its policy to all employees regarding contact with the news media and financial community. The policy states:
All queries from news reporters, financial analysts and research firms must be funneled through our Corporate offices . This policy helps protect employees and Aerosonic from SEC regulations and other potential public liabilities.
Aerosonic will continue to make improvements to its financial communication program. Following are the standards by which Aerosonic will disclose its performance.
1.Guidance:
We will make every attempt possible to provide yearly revenue forecasts, and related issues and drivers.
2. Analysts’ Models:
