LA VOZ DE HOUSTON NEWSPAPER Verification of Distribution

Target Distribution publications are regularly made available at designated locations for reader pick-up. Publishers are required to maintain detailed distribution records for every issue documenting the number of papers delivered and returns for every distribution point. Quarterly updates of the route lists are maintained by VERIFIED as a reference. "Accuracy of Claimed Distribution" is determined by a comparison of these records with the results of VERIFIED's field verification of distribution. The field verification consists of monitoring of the number of papers delivered and number of papers remaining from the prior issue (returns), for a randomly selected sample of distribution locations.

La Voz De Houston Newspaper has met or exceeded VERIFIED's standard of 90% "Accuracy of Claimed Circulation", as documented below:

ACCURACY OF ISSUE REPORTED MONITORED DISTRIBUTION 10/09/02 100% 04/03/02 94% 11/06/01 98% 07/20/01 100%
