CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 6, 2001--MYCOM Group, Inc.
(OTCBB:MYCO) said today that its primary goals for 2001 are to improve
overall profitability and accelerate growth through a combination of
rigorous cost management and an exciting new market strategy.
MYCOM Group Executive Vice President Patti Massey said that the
goals more closely align the direction of the company with the
financial markets' increasingly strong focus on technology companies
with improving profitability trends.
"Investors are no longer interested in growth for its own sake,"
Massey said. "Profitability is important. We are responding to that
with steps that can make MYCOM's bottom line much stronger as we build
a new growth platform on top of our current e-business and
communications consulting services."
She outlined several initiatives launched in 2000 and expected to
drive MYCOM Group's profitability in 2001:
-- Match workforce levels even more closely to business volume to
maximize efficiency;
-- Reposition resources outside Cincinnati to reduce fixed costs
and rely on alliances and partnerships to reach new markets;
-- Eliminate spending for development projects that do not appear
to have near-term, rapid payback potential;
-- Limit overhead expense.
MYCOM Group is continuing its emphasis on those key measures in
2001, Massey said. Cost management and continued growth are expected
to deliver significant long-term profitability gains for MYCOM Group,
assuming continued growth in technology investment by key clients and
success in attracting new strategic investment.
MYCOM Group's new business strategy to drive revenue growth will
be detailed in a series of communications to customers, investors and
employees in coming weeks, she said.
Massey said the company is continuing to prepare its audited
year-end 2000 financial results. It will report them not later than
the end of March 2001.

CINCINNATI, Jan 30, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- MYCOM Group, Inc. (OTCBB:MYCO)
today announced a strategic alliance with Baltimore-based Early Morning
Software, Inc. (EMS) to jointly develop and deliver a wide range of technology
solutions for major commercial and government clients in the Mid-Atlantic
region.
EMS is one of the Mid-Atlantic region's leading software and systems engineering
firms. MYCOM Group is a top Midwest e-business provider, providing Fortune 100
clients with advanced technology and enterprise learning services.
The alliance was established as a result of discussions between MYCOM Group CEO
George Young and Sharon R. Pinder, formerly Senior Vice President of MYCOM and
now president of EMS. Pinder was responsible for successfully launching MYCOM's
Mid-Atlantic operations and for the company's e-business vertical market
strategy. Young and Pinder will work closely to develop targeted strategies for
leveraging the combined strengths of EMS and MYCOM Group.
Young called the alliance a "win-win" for both organizations. "Our relationship
with EMS further strengthens MYCOM's presence in the growing East Coast market,
and will enable us to benefit from their significant market presence," he said.
"At the same time, we can help EMS by providing technology resources and
augmenting its products and services, especially in e-learning, e-commerce, and
technology communications."
Young said MYCOM Group would pursue establishing a joint venture company with
EMS if the alliance yields significant joint e-business projects that require
the capabilities of both companies. As a certified Minority Business Enterprise
(MBE), EMS is bidding for a significant information management assignment from
the State of Maryland. Young also said that MYCOM Group may team with EMS to bid
for portions of a $6.9 billion information technology contract that the U.S.
Navy awarded last fall to Electronic Data Systems (EDS).
"This alliance is a part of EMS' tidal wave strategy, focusing on growth through
partnerships and acquisitions, infrastructure efficiencies, national expansion,
and e-business strategies," according to EMS co-founder and Chief Technology
Officer, Cecil Robinson. "The alliance strengthens EMS' portfolio of services
and it will enable our customers to further rely on our end-to-end approach in
delivering solutions."

MYCOM Group Expands Line of Credit
Seeking Long-Term Support to Pursue New Enterprise E-business Opportunities
CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2001--MYCOM Group, Inc. (OTCBB:MYCO - news) said today that it has agreed to expand and extend its revolving credit agreement with Provident Bank, a major Midwest financial institution based in Cincinnati.
MYCOM Group said that under the new agreement the ceiling on its credit facility will increase to $600,000 from $400,000. The term of the agreement extends through June 30, 2001. Outstanding balances will continue to bear interest at 2 percentage points above the bank's current prime rate.
The new agreement includes certain financial performance objectives. Subject to its credit needs and its performance against those objectives, MYCOM Group could seek a further expansion in the credit line at mid-year.
During the fourth quarter of 2000, the average outstanding balance under the agreement decreased to approximately $264,000 from approximately $400,000 at September 30, 2000.
``This renewal and fifty percent increase in our revolving credit facility reflects the growth in our business and our expectation that we will continue to grow in 2001,'' MYCOM Group CEO George Young said. ``How quickly we grow, however, will depend in part on our ability to secure additional long-term financing to pursue our strategic business objectives.''
Young said MYCOM Group is refocusing its 2001 strategic plan in light of emerging enterprise e-business opportunities, including opportunities to provide comprehensive marketing communications and training support services that make new enterprise e-business products more marketable, and help enterprise clients increase their returns on e-business investments.
MYCOM Group's core belief is that real business gains come not just from changing technology, but from changing the way people respond to technology. MYCOM emphasizes solutions that are ``Understood, Valued, and Acted Upon(TM)'' by people throughout and beyond the enterprise. Accordingly, we back our technical expertise with a comprehensive array of support services, including e-marketing, e-learning, documentation, online help and technical support.
``We believe that large enterprises will continue to invest heavily in e-business technology to become more competitive and efficient,'' Young said, ``But we also recognize their concern about improving returns on those investments. We intend to be at the forefront of companies that deliver Internet-based e-business results to large enterprise clients.''

A "WISE" person forwarded this to me and I thought it was something I would like to share with everyone. The big news for Thursday January 3, 2001, was of course the aggressive
Fed decision to cut rates. The market exploded on this news with the Dow up 299.60 and the Nasdaq up an amazing 324.83, +14.17%. This news helped investors' confidence over the current economic conditions and thus brought out the bargain hunters to stage an impressive rally. The FED hinted that the door is open for yet another rate cut at the month-end FOMC meeting.
MYCOM GROUP INC - 3Q Revenues More Than Double Vs. Year-Earlier Period
New York, New York, Nov. 15, 2000 (Market News Publishing via COMTEX) -- MYCOM
Group, Inc. announced continued strong revenue growth in its fiscal third
quarter ended Sept. 30, 2000, with revenues more than double what they were in
the same period last year.
MYCOM Group said that its revenues for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2000
were $3.5 million, compared with $1.4 million in the same period last year.
Revenues for the nine months ended Sept. 30 increased 79 percent to $7.4 million
in 2000 from $4.1 million in 1999.
"I'm pleased to say that our strong growth continued in the third quarter,
thanks to our contract with the Ohio Lottery," MYCOM Group CEO George Young
said. "We are solidly on track to achieve our goal of $10 million in revenues
for 2000. The vibrant performance of our core businesses, however, is not yet
visible in our earnings. Throughout 2000, we have invested to retool MYCOM Group
to compete more effectively as an integrated end-to-end e-business provider, and
to construct a platform for long-term growth as a value-added provider of both
customized and packaged solutions for our clients. We are only now beginning to
realize benefits from those investments."
MYCOM Group reported a net loss of $181,457 for the third quarter ended Sept.
30, 2000. That compares with a net loss of $34,879 in the third quarter last
year, which included $46,720 in income from discontinued operations. For the
first nine months of 2000, MYCOM Group had a net loss of $265,903, which

MYCOM Group released results for the third quarter and nine months of 1999 and
2000 in a Form 10-QSB filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

amendment included audited statements for MYCOM Group for 1998 and 1999,
unaudited results for the first seven months of 1999 and 2000, and pro-forma
combined financial statements for 1999 and the first seven months of 2000.
MYCOM Group, formerly a private company, was merged into an inactive publicly
traded company on Aug. 23, 2000 following the spin-off of the inactive company's
business to its principal owners. MYCOM Group's financial results included in
the 10-Q include only results of the business of MYCOM Group and subsidiaries
for all periods shown.
Young added that "The management of MYCOM Group continues to pursue strategic
equity investments that in part could be used to accelerate our growth. We are
exploring a number of opportunities to achieve that objective, including our
participation as a presenter in a major venture capital conference in Cincinnati
on Nov. 14. Although we cannot guarantee that we will raise the additional
capital we seek, we remain very optimistic about our success and about the
outlook for our business."

CINCINNATI, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 5, 2000--The second phase of a nationally recognized minority recruitment and awareness campaign produced by MYCOM Advertising for Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, debuted this week in several Midwest metro markets.
MYCOM Advertising, a subsidiary of MYCOM Group, Inc. (OTCBB:MYCO - news), said the campaign for the 2000-2001 recruiting period includes new outdoor, print, radio and cable TV advertising about the Miami experience from the point of view of minority students. The first phase of the campaign, which began last fall, focused on building awareness about Miami. Phase two emphasizes opportunities for growth, avenues for support, diverse cultural events and pride in the successful academic track record of minorities at Miami.
The regional campaign has proven effective in attracting minority students to Miami, and has garnered significant national attention. Women in Communications, a national professional association of more than 7,500 executives involved in advertising, journalism and related fields, presented its 2000 Clarion Award to Miami and MYCOM recently at the association's national convention in Austin, Texas.
Judging was based on substance, style, originality and achievement of objective. MYCOM Advertising's work was recognized for excellence in clear, concise communications across disciplines. Other national award winners included the Atlanta Journal Constitution and Dateline NBC.
MYCOM Advertising Vice President Dhana Banks said that the campaign demonstrates the effectiveness of MYCOM's collaborative approach to researching and creating messages that address the unique concerns and expectations of diverse audiences. ``MYCOM is proud to be a part of bringing the rich diversity of student life at Miami to the attention of a much wider range of potential applicants,'' Banks said. ``I'm grateful that our work has been recognized by Women in Communications, but I'm especially pleased that we have worked together to translate what Miami University represents to a much more diverse group of applicants.''
Interest in Miami among potential minority applicants has increased sharply since the campaign began. Applicants from minorities for the fall 2000 term increased 28 percent compared with the prior year.
``MYCOM has been a true partner in this very important initiative for Miami,'' according to Dr. Myrtis Powell, Vice President-Student Affairs at Miami. ``They listened to our ideas, did the research and delivered some very creative work that demonstrated their hard work and responsiveness. They deserve to share in all of the recognition that the `I am Miami' campaign has received.''
Miami selected MYCOM Advertising to manage the campaign in 1998. The first year of what is now a two-year, $500,000 project included extensive research and collaboration among minority students, Miami officials and MYCOM Advertising consultants. Campaign themes and messages are drawn directly from the responses of those students and their achievements at Miami. Targeted markets include Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and Cleveland in Ohio, plus Indianapolis, Indiana.
(BSNS WIRE) MYCOM Helping Mid-Sized Companies Move From `Web Art' to 'Web-S
MYCOM Helping Mid-Sized Companies Move From `Web Art' to 'Web-Smart'
Business Editors
CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2000--MYCOM Group, Inc.
(OTCBB:MYCO)
If your business just has a website, that's "web art."
But when your website includes built-in applications that let
customers, suppliers and employees work together more effectively,
that's "web-smart."
MYCOM Group, Inc. is helping many small- and medium-sized
companies get web-smart with Internet applications that make them more
accessible to their customers and suppliers, and make their employees
more productive.
MYCOM Group CEO George Young said that over the last several
years, MYCOM has created more than 100 websites for both large and
small companies, and has assembled a top-flight team of applications
developers and communicators to add functionality and value to those
sites.
Young said that web-based applications can be designed to protect
company and client information, yet make it accessible 24-7 to those
who need it around the world. And unlike other technology companies
that can only build those applications, MYCOM Group provides complete
end-to-end training, support and promotion of the website's expanded
offerings.
"We know that many businesses haven't moved applications onto the
web because they think they won't be able to manage them, and
customers won't know how to use them," Young said. "MYCOM overcomes
that obstacle with complete solutions that start with technology, but
then add training, online help and extensive promotion of the new
applications to target audiences."
Young noted that Business Week and other national business
publications recently have spotlighted a major shift toward Web
applications among brick-and-mortar companies that need to produce and
sell their products and services faster and cheaper.
"We have already created over 100 e-Business applications for
major corporations using this approach," Young said. "Now we're
working to package this capability and provide pieces of it as
packaged solutions to smaller businesses."
One example of that trend is Comer Packaging, which provides
supply-chain support for major organizations. Mycom provided Comer
with a website (www.comerpkg.com) that included built-in links to
Comer's inventory control database. Mike Washington, President of
Comer Packaging, said the new applications give Comer access to global
markets, a tool to communicate changes quickly, and online access to
inventory data for Comer's customers.
"This capability has improved our internal efficiencies, customer
service processing and reduced our labor costs," Washington said.
"These integrated solutions have provided a competitive advantage for
our organization and directly generated more sales opportunities."
Another example is Goettsch International of Cincinnati, which
markets machinery parts and tools for the corrugated industry
worldwide.
To support Goettsch's key clients in Puerto Rico and South
America, MYCOM crafted a Web-based application intertwined with
database technology to effectively track, catalog and market parts in
three languages versus building and maintaining separate sites in each
language. A rotating banner on the website (www.goettsch.com) also
features Goettsch's service representatives, helping put a "face" on
the company to its faraway customer contacts.
Young said that MYCOM's emphasis on these opportunities is
accelerating with the creation of its Product Development Group, and
more focused management attention under MYCOM's new four-prong Diamond
Strategy for growth.
"One of our major growth initiatives is to package and roll out
some of these applications to a wider range of clients," Young said.
"We believe that this "web-smart" trend is just beginning, and
represents a major opportunity for MYCOM."

(COMTEX) B: MYCOM Leverages Breadth to Accelerate Growth
B: MYCOM Leverages Breadth to Accelerate Growth
CINCINNATI, Sep 14, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- MYCOM Group, Inc. (OTCBB:MYCO)
today announced plans for far-reaching changes to its organization structure,
work processes, culture and reward structure to accelerate the company's growth.
The changes are designed to drive bigger stretch goals and plans for its
realigned business units, breakthrough product innovations and a search for
acquisition and merger candidates.
MYCOM Group CEO George Young said the key to faster growth is leveraging the
company's breadth of products and services. "We intend to generate growth that
benefits our shareholders by increasing our capability to create and build
large, profitable business units," he said.
Young said that the initiative, called the Diamond Strategy, has four key
elements, which connect all facets of MYCOM's business:
-- Organizational Development - MYCOM will operate in several
business units, leveraging its breadth and management depth by
centering market strategy and profit responsibility on the
leaders of each group.
-- Market Development - MYCOM intends to establish Market
Development Organization (MDO) regions throughout North
America to maximize the growth potential of the company's
entire portfolio in key markets.
-- Product Development - the newly created Product Development
Group is looking at more than 100 e-business applications
created by MYCOM to determine which can be re-packaged and
sold to vertical markets.
-- Strategic Development - MYCOM is already exploring
relationships with companies whose technologies and products
could add important dimensions to its business.
"Young highlighted the new business units - including e-commerce consulting,
interactive marketing, instructional design and training, and product
development - as examples of how MYCOM makes connections across businesses to
create real advantages. MYCOM's growing and successful Advertising business, now
operating as a subsidiary of MYCOM Group, would get increased investment and
support under the leadership of MYCOM President Joan Carroll.
"We're evolving from supplier to business partner to our clients, which is an
advantage that comes from breadth that is focused on growth," Young added.
"We've been headed in the direction of operating as business units for many
years, and the changes we're making will now enable us to fulfill this goal."
Young concluded, "We're looking to the future - not just imagining what's next,
but creating it. That's what drives my confidence in the accelerated growth of
MYCOM."

Mycom is on the rise today. We could see news tomorrow and maybe contract announcements. Let's hope it comes, they can be slow with their releases. The upside is that this stock has a great roster of clients and should be looking to move to the Nasdq sometime in the future.
