RIDGELAND, MS–(EMWNews – August 11, 2008) – Knobias (PINKSHEETS: KBAS), a provider of

financial information, news and data platforms, announced today the launch

of a new venture with Restricted Stock Partners (RSP). Effective today,

active trading opportunities for each issuer’s securities on the Restricted

Securities Trading Network (RSTN) will be graphically indicated to users of

Knobias platforms such as Knobias+Plus and PipeTRAC. In addition to

informing Knobias users of activity in a security, secure web links will

seamlessly connect users to the RSTN platform for further information,

research, and trading.

“The RSTN is the largest online marketplace for restricted securities, so

the integration of RSP’s activity data into Knobias products is a very

logical step,” noted Steven Lord, CEO of Knobias. “It will improve the

efficiency of researching and trading restricted securities, and will

provide significant added value to our users. We are very pleased to be

working with RSP in this regard.”

Barry E. Silbert, CEO of Restricted Stock Partners, added, “The Knobias

information platform is a vital resource for institutional investors and

professionals focusing on small-cap companies. We’re pleased to launch

this notification tool as it will help to open up new opportunities for

Knobias subscribers in the trading of restricted stock, warrants and

convertibles.”
