JUPITER Global Holdings, Corp. Sets Record Date for All JUPITER Shareholders of Record as of Close of Business Wednesday May 10, 2006 for Potential Stock Dividend From Potential Spin-Off of Its Entertainment Interests
Thursday May 4, 12:25 pm ET


LAS VEGAS, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--May 4, 2006 -- JUPITER Global Holdings, Corp. ("JUPITER" or the "Company") (Other OTC:JPHC.PK - News) today announces that all JUPITER shareholders of record at the close of business Wednesday, May 10, 2006, Eastern Daylight Time (the "Record Date") will be on record to receive a stock dividend in the potential spin-off of JUPITER's entertainment interests, should the directors determine to actually declare the dividend.

The JUPITER board of directors has previously announced plans to spin-off its entertainment interests ("Plan") to its shareholders. The Plan began to take shape shortly after board approval and as part of the Plan, the board's intention is that within the process of executing the spin-off, a stock dividend may be declared to its shareholders of record. The Company believes a transaction that would result in the spin-off of its entertainment interests and subsequent stock dividend would be very beneficial to its shareholders. The previously announced merger transaction with APO Health, Inc. that the Company is now involved in ("Merger Transaction") impacts the viability of the Plan.

Management at this time feels that if a spin-off is approved by the board of directors in the future, the board prefers to ensure that the subsequent stock dividend is beneficial to its current shareholders. With this in mind, JUPITER management felt that setting a Record Date prior to closing of the Merger Transaction would be a key step in keeping that aforementioned benefit available to its current shareholders.

Although Management is encouraged at this stage of the Plan, no assurances can be given that a spin-off and subsequent stock dividend will be completed and approved post-closing of the Merger Transaction. In addition, management wishes to notify its shareholder that if the potential spin-off and subsequent stock dividend occurs, there is no specific timeline for the stock dividend to be executed and actually delivered to shareholders as of the Record Date.

Any additional information and instructions about the potential spin-off will be provided when determined and available.

Ray Hawkins, CEO of JUPITER, commented: "We are pleased to be able to announce the Record Date for a potential spin-off and subsequent potential stock dividend. We wish we were able to be more definite at this time but we feel that taking a snap shot of our shareholder base before the closing of the Merger Transaction is the best way for us to preserve a potential stock dividend for JUPITER shareholders."

Tuesday April 25, 3:11 pm ET


OCEANSIDE, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 25, 2006 -- APO Health, Inc. ("APO") (OTC BB:APOA.OB - News) and JUPITER Global Holdings, Corp. ("JUPITER") (Other OTC:JPHC.PK - News) today jointly announced their execution of a Definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which APO has agreed, through a wholly owned subsidiary, to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of JUPITER, and JUPITER has agreed, at the closing of the transaction, to become a wholly owned subsidiary of APO. As consideration in the merger transaction, APO has agreed to exchange shares of its common stock ("the Issuable Shares") with JUPITER's shareholders at an exchange ratio, which is subject to adjustment under the Merger Agreement that values the JUPITER shares at $0.005 per common share.
Jan Stahl, the Chief Executive Officer of APO, commented, "APO is making a shift in its business future and JUPITER, and primarily its subsidiary, Macro Communications, Inc. (www.macrosouth.com), presented the best opportunity for us to build a significant operation under a new direction for our shareholders. Our aim was to chart a new course for APO that would result in accelerated growth and increased shareholder value. The challenges we have experienced in growing our health subsidiary prompted the development of our plan for change that included a process of looking for opportunities outside of the health industry and ultimately develop a business with holdings that could provide for significant value creation. Macro Communications, Inc. is a business that we believe has vast potential. It is currently a multimillion dollar operation that has a business plan which includes other acquisition candidates and a comprehensive strategy for growth and profit generation. We look forward to welcoming the JUPITER shareholders as APO shareholders and feel very strongly on the new combined entities moving forward."

Ray Hawkins, the Chief Executive Officer of JUPITER, commented further, "The execution of this agreement results from a diligently prepared and successfully executed plan that we had implemented to move JUPITER forward for the future growth of the company, and ultimately for the enhancement of value for the JUPITER shareholders. APO is a solid company which currently is a multimillion dollar operation, and we feel this merger provides a great opportunity for our shareholders' growth prospects. We are very pleased with the valuation that we received from APO and feel it is fair for our shareholders. We look forward to the consummation of this transaction and setting things in motion to develop a new path of success for the combined corporations."

The parties have agreed to use their best efforts to consummate the transaction by May 10, 2006, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

The Merger Agreement will be filed by APO as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as required. The Merger Agreement contains certain conditions precedent to consummation of the merger, including but not limited to, obtaining consents, providing certified lists of shareholders and delivery of certain due diligence and other corporate documents. The Merger Agreement provides that the Issuable Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and absent an exemption from registration contained in such laws, cannot be transferred, hypothecated, sold or otherwise disposed of until; (i) a registration statement with respect to such securities is declared effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) APO receives an opinion of counsel for APO that an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available.

No news yet today on TWOG/ILGY buyout. I expected to see something today since it is the record date for the the buyout according to the last PR.

[beigledog]

I agree Doub...this is gambling money for me, which typically doesn't work out...but we'll see what happens. The stock should be moving up with the ex-dividend date coming on Monday, not down.

[Mr. Zen]

beig, on the surface this looks like an amazing deal, however something is not sitting right with me. The final out come of this convoluted deal is that all shares get folded into Magellien Energy, and if I can believe the CEO of ILGY then Magellien has a great future, but why does TWOG not respond to the market announcement?? It goes up a couple of pennies and shares hit the market like bugs on a windshield on a Florida night.

CEO's with answering machines that never return phone calls are major red flags, and this one looks like a Chinese labor day parade.

still holding ILGY at a loss to see how it turns out.

[beigledog]

ILGY has really been coming back and is now at .40...which means that the TWOG shares are now worth .04...still a 150% return from current levels but not nearly as good as it was a couple of weeks ago at $1.

Monday March 6, 6:00 am ET
INTENDS TO ACQUIRE 4 COMPANIES


DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 6, 2006--White Knight Resources, Nevada Pacific Gold, Coral Gold & Tone Resources
LARGER PROPERTY POSITION, STRONGER TREASURY, AGGRESSIVE EXPLORATION, MULTIPLE TARGETS

ADVERTISEMENT


U.S. Gold Corporation (OTCBB:USGL - News) today announced that it intends to acquire, in stock transactions, all of the outstanding common shares of four companies that are exploring in the Cortez Trend in Nevada. These companies, White Knight Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:WKR - News), Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NPG - News), Coral Gold Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CGR - News), and Tone Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:TNS - News), have mineral properties that are adjacent to or near U.S. Gold's Tonkin Springs property. Together these mineral properties would represent a significant land position and consolidation in the Cortez Trend.

This proposal was made in letters sent today by Rob McEwen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Gold, to the chief executive officers of each of the subject companies. U.S. Gold's proposal represents a premium of 25% to the closing stock prices of each company's shares on March 3, 2006.

Under this proposal, U.S. Gold would issue:

- 0.35 share of U.S. Gold common stock for each outstanding common share of White Knight;

- 0.23 share of U.S. Gold common stock for each outstanding common share of Nevada Pacific Gold;

- 0.63 share of U.S. Gold common stock for each outstanding common share of Coral Gold; and

- 0.26 share of U.S. Gold common stock for each outstanding common share of Tone Resources, representing in the aggregate approximately US$256.9 million (C$291.7 million) total value based on the closing price of U.S. Gold's common stock on March 3, 2006.

Rob McEwen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Gold, said: "As I have frequently stated, our goal is to build the premier exploration company in Nevada. This initiative represents a significant step in that direction. The combination of these companies should appeal to a larger group of investors and should offer the potential for more share appreciation than any one company on its own. The new combined company could provide the land package of a major, the balance sheet strength and market liquidity of an intermediate and the upside price leverage to discovery of a junior. Each company brings an outstanding technical team. The combined company would allow us to bring these teams together."

The Board of Directors of U.S. Gold formed a special committee to evaluate the terms of each of the transactions in recognition of, among other things, the equity interests of Mr. McEwen in the each of the four companies.

The figures presented in this release are based upon the current exchange rates for US and Canadian currency. The currency exchange rates may vary before the consummation of the transactions.

HandHeld Entertainment Completes Reverse Merger and $7.6 Million Private Placement; Common Stock Begins Trading March 6, 2006 on the OTC Bulletin Board as ``HNDH''

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar 02, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- HandHeld Entertainment, Inc.

HandHeld Entertainment, a "pure play" digital-media-to-go company with its ZVUE(TM) family of mass-market portable media players as well as its own online video content store, completed a reverse merger with Vika Corp. on February 10, 2006. Subsequently, HandHeld Entertainment completed the sale of 3,802,500 shares of its common stock at $2.00 per share through a private placement to institutional and accredited investors resulting in gross proceeds of $7,605,000 to the company. The proceeds will be used by the company for general working capital purposes. After taking effect of both the reverse merger and private placement, HandHeld Entertainment has approximately 13.9 million shares of common stock outstanding, of which approximately 2.4 million shares of common stock are in the public float.

Available today in more than 1,800 Wal-Mart stores around the United States, the mass-market-priced ZVUE is the perfect digital-media-to-go-solution because ZVUEs allow users to watch their favorite videos, listen to music or look at photos anywhere, anytime. HandHeld Entertainment has also announced three new ZVUE models, the first of which is slated for completion in the first quarter of 2006, and each of which is upgradeable and designed to take advantage of dropping storage pricing to further promote customer flexibility at reasonable price points.

Additionally, the company recently launched the beta version of ZTV(TM), its video download store, at www.zvue.com, a place where lovers of digital video on the go can find hundreds of free video selections in a dozen genres, as well as hundreds of Pay 'n' Play(TM) video selections available for online purchase from $0.99 to $1.99 per downloaded video. HandHeld Entertainment also announced plans in January to expand ZTV in mid-2006 with a video subscription service known as ZVISION(TM). Additional details on ZVISION will be revealed by the company at a future date.

The common stock was offered and sold only to accredited investors in offerings exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Today is the day for TWOG...it's a 10-bagger if the deal goes through.

[beigledog]

TWOG is holding on right here at .009. I'm down 50% but still waiting for the potential big (but extremely risky) payoff. Deal is supposed to be closed this week (Feb 28). We'll see what happens. I doubt these things ever actually happen on time, but we'll see.

[rrufff]

I haven't - I have some still playing the spread and I figure the worst that can happen the deal blows out and the underlying reserves get played up again. People were pushing TDYH for $20 a share at one point.

[beigledog]

Has anybody talked with the companies recently?

[rrufff]

TDYH 3.80

Buyout at 4.50. Anyone playing it?

Platinum Energy Resources Announces Merger Agreement with Tandem Energy Holdings

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRNewswire
08:30 a.m. 01/26/2006


NEW YORK, Jan 26, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Platinum Energy Resources, Inc. (PGRI), (PGRIU), (PGRIW) ("Platinum Energy"), a special purpose acquisition corporation focused on the energy industry, today announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Tandem Energy Holdings, Inc. (TDYH) ("Tandem"). Tandem is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, exploitation and development of oil and gas properties and the production of oil and gas. Under the terms of the agreement, Tandem Energy Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tandem Energy Holdings, owning substantially all of its assets, will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Platinum Energy. Platinum Energy will pay $105 million in cash and fees and will be guaranteed $5 million in working capital. Platinum Energy will be responsible for capital expenditures as of January 1, 2006.

Tandem's producing properties are located primarily in Texas and New Mexico. On September 30, 2005, Tandem's estimated net proved reserves were 8.849 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), of which approximately 64% were crude oil and 36% were natural gas. 34.4% of its total reserves were Proven Developed Producing (PDP's). Preliminary due diligence has revealed expected low-risk probable reserves and "behind pipe" opportunities of an additional 16 million BOE.

Barry Kostiner, chief executive officer of Platinum Energy, stated, "Tandem's strong producing properties combined with its development opportunity are a perfect foundation on which to execute our business plan of optimizing profit irrespective of the global energy market's performance. We look forward to building on the attractive value created by Tandem's management."

"We are looking forward to working with Platinum Energy throughout the merger process," said Tim Culp, president and CEO of Tandem Energy Holdings. "Our low-risk oil and gas resources fit very well into Platinum's stated business strategy."

James Dorman, executive vice president, geology of Platinum Energy said, "As the head of the geology team, I am extremely excited about the potential of Tandem's diverse properties. We will have the unique opportunity to build on Tandem's current proven reserves substantially by utilizing a low-cost drilling program."

Platinum Energy, based in Montvale, New Jersey, was incorporated in April 2005 to acquire an operating business in the energy industry. Platinum Energy completed its initial public offering on October 24, 2005, receiving net proceeds of approximately $106 million through the sale of 14.4 million units of its securities at $8.00 per unit. Each unit was comprised of one share of Platinum Energy common stock and one redeemable and convertible common stock purchase warrant having an exercise price of $6.00. Platinum Energy holds over $105 million in a trust account maintained by an independent trustee, which will be released to the company upon the closing of the merger with Tandem (less any amounts returned to Platinum Energy stockholders who elect to convert their shares to cash in accordance with Platinum Energy's charter).

Merger Conditions

The closing of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including Platinum Energy stockholder approval of the merger. In addition, the closing is conditioned on holders of fewer than 20 percent of the shares of Platinum Energy issued in the IPO voting against the business combination and electing to convert their Platinum Energy shares into cash, as permitted by the Platinum Energy certificate of incorporation. The Platinum Energy initial stockholders, officers and directors, who hold approximately 20% of Platinum Energy's voting stock, have agreed to vote their shares on the merger in accordance with the vote of the majority of the non-affiliated Platinum Energy stockholders. If approved by Platinum Energy stockholders, the transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2006.

Platinum Energy Resources is a special purpose acquisition corporation seeking to acquire assets or operating businesses in the global oil and gas exploration and production industry. Platinum Energy anticipates aggressively building a portfolio of assets using multiple acquisitions subsequent to its first acquisition which will require approval of shareholders in the amount of 80% of those voting. Platinum Energy's strategy calls for the aggressive use of hedging strategies to optimize profit irrespective of the performance of the global energy market's performance.

[rrufff]

Bet they have a sweetheart deal on the other end. Buyout public cheap, wait a year and then cash out higher.

[beigledog]

TWOG is a 10-bagger at this price if the deal goes through. I guess it just proves that there is very little confidence in management on this one.

[starboy]

I'll be happy just to get anything over 4.00 and take the write off on this disappointing POS. LOL!

[rrufff]

I suspect right here is about where you will get shares unless you want to put in a really big block buy like at least 20,000 shares.

[beigledog]

I agree rrufff. I was thinking about picking up some more shares if it fell into the 3.30 area again.

Welcome to the new board.

[rrufff]

I'm playing the spread at this point - figure it's worth it until 4.25 area. Some of the insiders probably selling in that they are getting more than they would at the close. They may be naked shorting as their shares are restricted and figure nobody will be any the wiser once the deal closes. As we get close to the end, it should settle close to the 54.50.
