J Ganes Consulting and Earth Satellite Corporation Form Strategic Alliance
March 26, 2002, Rockville, MD—Earth Satellite Corporation (EarthSat) announced today that it is significantly broadening its product offerings beyond its CropCast weather information by forming a strategic alliance with J Ganes Consulting. Under this agreement, EarthSat's customers will be able to access products from J Ganes Consulting through web links on their private web sites and vice versa. Furthermore, both companies plan to create and market products that combine the expertise of both companies.

"With the onset of another El Niño situation, I felt it was vital to give my clients access to the meteorologists at EarthSat who monitor and analyze the impact of weather events on crops around the globe," said Ms. Ganes-Chase. Larry Heitkemper, Vice President of the Weather Services Division at EarthSat views the relationship in a similar fashion, "Judy has a number of proprietary databases and by working with her, EarthSat's clients will be able to get her ideas on events beyond weather that will influence trading."
