Dear Investor,


With every new release of a software program, there are always a few problems that pop up that somehow got by the testing process.

We're happy to announce the release of Toolkit version 6.1,
with a number of enhancements and fixes that make the program more stable and
easier to use. If you've been waiting for the kinks to get worked out of the program, now's the time to upgrade to the power of Toolkit 6!

Here's a brief list of the changes in Toolkit 6.1:


Cash Flow per Share and Long-Term Debt can now be displayed on the historical
graph along with the other optional items (Shares Outstanding, Dividends, Book
Value, and Net Income). This gives you even greater analytical insight into a
company's history, allowing you to focus on changes in a company's cash flow and trends in long-term debt.


Here's a tip: For companies that you already have in your database, you'll need
to update the data in order to download and save the data for these items
before you can view them on the graph. You can also enter and edit these new historical data series manually in the Data entry screen.


In the Library, the date that the Complete Roster of Quality was last updated
is now displayed. Look in the Portfolios section of the library -- select the
"Roster of Quality" portfolio, and you'll see the "Last updated date:" just below that.


You can also manually update the Roster listing by selecting File > Update
Complete Roster. The Complete Roster of Quality Companies is generated on
StockCentral each weekend, and the program automatically checks once a week to
download the latest version. Depending on your schedule of stock analysis, it's
possible that you might not have seen the most recent Complete Roster in your
program. But now, in version 6.1, you can both know how current the listing is,
and also refresh the list at will to ensure that you're viewing current
companies. (Note: You must be a StockCentral subscriber for this feature to be enabled.)


On page 2 of the Stock Study form, we've cleaned up and streamlined much of the
text. This should make the page much easier to read and interpreted. In Section
3, you'll see Current, Average, and Projected P/E Ratios displayed, along with
the PEG Ratio and the Trailing Twelve Months (TTM) and Future Twelve Months
(FTM) EPS. In Section 5, the total return and yield figures are nicely organized, not typed in as some afterthought.

We've made a few repairs to features that weren't working quite right, as well.


Institutional and insider ownership figures are now updated correctly when you
update company data. This only affects data services that have this information, such as StockCentral's data service.


In some cases, trend lines on the graph were being displayed incorrectly for
companies that you'd saved to your library (even though they displayed properly
when you first downloaded the company data!). That was an annoying problem, so
we're happy that it's now been fixed. (Of course, if you discover otherwise, please let us know ASAP!)


On the Portfolio Review Report, the "% Sales" and "%
Change" headers in the Pre-Tax Profit column were reversed, and they've
now been put in the right places. Funny, this was also an issue in Investor's
Toolkit 5, but I guess that everyone knew what we meant regardless of what the
headers actually said. Thanks to Ralph Seger for pointing out this little error.


One final minor change: In the Print dialog box, we've removed the "Print
forms using black" option, since black is the new green. Since the form
grid lines are always black now on the screen, there's no need for an option to print them that way.

How to Update


If you're already running Toolkit 6, the program will automatically check for
updates each time you start the program. You must be connected to the Internet,
of course, in order for the program to detect, download, and install the update.

You may also manually check for updates by choosing Help > Check for Updates from the Toolkit 6 menu.

Follow the instructions to download and install the update.

When the process is finished, select Help > About Toolkit
from the program menu. Version 6.1.0 should be displayed as the current version. This confirms that the update installed correctly.
