In a story about dating site Date.com (Direct, July), a statement about the “worth” of the company was wrong. Date.com does not release its revenue figures.
A Direct Timeline item in the Sept. 15 issue misstated the price paid by Vermont Teddy Bear Co. Inc. for Calyx & Corolla. The price was $3.7 million, and Vermont Teddy Bear also assumed some liabilities. In addition, the story misreported the amount paid by Equity Resource Partners for Calyx & Corolla in 2001. Equity Resource Partners bought the floral direct marketer from Gerald Stevens Inc. for roughly $5 million, according to Calyx & Corolla executives.
