DATA PERFECTIONISTS, INC. Formerly The DP Users Cooperative Hereford, England. 13th September 1997. On 26th August 1997 Data Perfectionists, Inc. came into being as a for-profit company incorporated in the state of Florida in the USA. Data Perfectionists, Inc. is the legal entity through which the DP Users Cooperative will actually hold assets and do business. To emphasise the nature of the entity, the new corporation will habitually refer to itself as "Data Perfectionists, Inc. -- an international cooperative of DataPerfect users". Almost twelve months ago members jointly pledged their support to what was then affectionately known as "the Co-op". Whether they were anticipating becoming full shareholders or associates, they were all working to secure a better future for all that they had come to know and love in DataPerfect. Incorporation marks the beginning of a new phase in development and support for DataPerfect. The Corporation will now proceed to consumate stock subscriptions in Data Perfectionists, Inc. for all those who have sent in the cost of one or more "shares". There are some slight formalities involved in doing this and the Board of Directors will be contacting each putative shareholder individually. Over the coming days, publicity material will be distributed on CompuServe, the Internet and in the computer press. Thanks are due to all who have supported the Cooperative during the past year, particularly at those times when matters have seemed to progress slowly. Data Perfectionists, Inc. will now belong to its shareholders - it can become whatever they jointly have the will to make it. The Corporation aims to go forward in strength to build on the firm foundation that has already been established. Brendan. Brendan N. R. Magill. President, Data Perfectionists, Inc.
