We do not currently track new members, we track exchanges, which are our clients. We add about 6-8 new exchanges each month. We are up to a total of 76 exchanges since Jan 1, 2004.

From what I read over there it shows that they are not doign much in the PR department but more as an aggressive approach towards competition and hooked up with some good players in the field for connecting themselves with. this is a stock I would like someone to actually look at about the financial part of it as I liked this one enough to hold onto the shares longterm. I was researching into affiliating to them as well and the costs compared to ebnefits is reasonable for what they offer so I can see this growing really well with more potential than that of other companies that mom and pop shops could duplicate easily.

I wrote an email to this site about some inquiries I had at 12:30pm and within an hour I get a reply!!! Now that is being on the ball if you ask me.

They barter tourism and goods and services. The services are not geared towards any specific industry of a manufacturing sector. They are mainly bartering for a service style company and not TRADE a service for a goods item. Example to explain my lame reason. I was looking for a machine shop to barter their service ( manufacturing) as I know this industry is hurting big time from import industry and offer a service I do with some exclusivity rights to them. He stated he did not know of any company that barters manufacturing of machining and the commercial barter system is set at a minimum of 100,000 which is low for soem but limiting to others such as what i required was not 100K.

He did send me in a direction that i coudl find what I am looking for though. And did say contact Joe about more detailed explanation to see if they have a client to such a thing. I am trying to bring the manufacturing of my product to the USA instead of Canada. I really liek the barter system for many reasons as it cuts costs unbelieveablely.

Rememeber, this is a start up company and dollars are limited however, if you go to the discussion board and read some of the recent replys from Bruce you will at least see the direction Bentley is going and some revenues... if you read between the lines...

I would like someone who knows stocks to give an opinion about the finances here though. I like the concept and structure of management BUT would like to know more for a long term player.

Joe Crump Elected to the Bentley Commerce Board of Directors

SARASOTA – AUGUST 23, 2004 -- Bentley Commerce Corp. (OTCBB:BLYC), the leader in both online and point of sale barter and trade, has established The Barter Institute to educate businesses on how easy and profitable it now is to trade their excess products, services, production or capacity for the products and services they would normally pay for in cash to operate their own businesses. In addition, the Barter Institute will teach individuals and companies how to start, manage, market and operate a profitable barter exchange of their own.

Bentley Commerce’s Barter Institute faculty will start with a team of five highly successful barter professionals with combined experience of over 60 years in all facets of barter. These professionals will tour the country to provide a 4-day training event in 10 U.S. cities over the next 12 months. In addition to teaching businesses how to barter, the program will show specific types of businesses, such as radio stations, media companies, hospitality organizations, Internet companies and non-profits, how to start and operate a barter exchange. By using Bentley Commerce’s tools and technologies to build their own branded barter exchange, and enrolling their listeners, advertisers or members, they will be able to create a new lucrative revenue stream..

The Barter Institute team will also teach those individuals who want their own trade exchange business, how to start and manage the day to day operations of a trade exchange. During four days of comprehensive training, they will be provided with the knowledge, systems, tools and technology they need to succeed, taught by a distinguished faculty of barter professionals that have managed some of the most successful trade exchanges in the country.

“The ability of using barter to fulfill its inherent promise of significantly lowering the cost of doing business, while simultaneously increasing sales on an enormous scale, thus having a dramatic, positive affect on business, depends on attracting large numbers of individuals and companies to become trading partners, and establishing new trade exchanges to assist them with their trades,” said Bruce Kamm, Bentley Commerce’s CEO (www.bentleycommerce.com). “Key to our strategy is to attract new trading partners who have never formally bartered through an exchange, and teach them how barter will positively influence their business. In addition, we will provide the training and the tools to those who want to have their own exchange as a profitable business opportunity, to facilitate trades between the new trading partners we expect to attract.”

“Now that we have built the largest Online Global Trade Marketplace with our VirtualBarter software, we are ready to begin teaching an expanding base of companies how easy it is to trade with one another over the Internet, even if they are members of different trade exchanges,” continued Mr. Kamm. “The Barter Institute will enable these trading partners to rapidly begin trading with businesses from 76 independent trade exchanges that manage transactions for about 16,000 companies, with approximately $400 million in products and services available for trade online. We believe this will create exponential trade opportunities and increased revenues for these businesses, for the online exchanges participating in the Bentley Global Trade Alliance and for Bentley Commerce."

In Other News:

Joseph Crump, who is president of the Bentley Crump Barter Network, has been elected to the Bentley Commerce Corporation Board of Directors. Mr. Crump, one of the barter industries true visionaries, founded Crump Barter Systems in 1998 to bring efficiencies to the barter industry by providing a clearinghouse through which members of different barter exchanges worldwide can make available each other's inventory and services and trade seamlessly with one another. Crump Barter’s membership rapidly grew to represent approximately 30 percent of the barter exchanges in the USA and about 50 percent of those in Canada.
