Oakbrook Terrace, IL, USA & Zurich, Switzerland, June 30, 2008 (PRESSbooth.ORG) -- For the compilation of the eighth annual list, FORTUNE Small Business worked with financial research firm Zacks, which ranked public companies with revenues of less than $200 million and a stock price of more than $1. All companies that met these criteria were ranked, 1-100, based on the past three years' earnings growth, revenue growth, and stock performance. The overall rank was based on the sum of these three ranks. Banks and real-estate firms were excluded from the list.
