REPEAT/Miracle Film Distribution Makes Exclusive, Revolutionary Partnership with Global Media Management and ASIDA for a $500 Million Print & Ad Fund for Indie Filmmakers
Monday May 19, 11:12 am ET
New Deal Will Have Far Reaching Impact On Indie Filmmakers And Their Creations
HOLLYWOOD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 2003-- In a stunning move, Miracle Film Distribution (Pink Sheets:MEMI - News), in exclusive partnership with Global Media Management and ASIDA has created a breakthrough strategy to finance print and advertising cycles for new theatrical releases, it was revealed today (15) by John Daly, CEO, Miracle, and the maker of such award winning movies as Platoon, The Last Emperor and Hoosiers. "This is nothing less than a revolution for the 'independents' and the way they do their business," said Mr. Daly.
The new deal between the parties provides for a whopping P&A Fund of $500M.
Utilizing pre-paid advertising credits provided by the Global Media Capital Fund, and the marketing skills of Initiative Media, the world's largest media management and buying agency, the new Miracle/Film Star/Global Distribution Fund will provide $100M in print and advertising support for new theatrical releases in the first year, with additional funding of $400M becoming available in the second year of operation. Eight to ten new movies releases are expected to be financed over the initial 12 months.
An additional component of the program is a designated fund to finance film prints in advance of distribution. The Miracle/FilmStar/Global Distribution Fund will acquire worldwide distribution rights on the films selected for support. The guarantee of print funds means a film can be shown in as many theaters as the Fund determines is appropriate. "We are witnessing a change here in the distribution and availability of independent movies worth seeing," Mr. Daly asserted. "We are excited about the dynamic relationship developed among the partners, and look forward to providing the movie going public with very high quality independent films."
Such a pioneering new approach also is likely to be leveling the playing field points out ASIDA President Kent Moors. "The truly amazing dimension of this is its ability to fund any movie - from the blockbuster summer releases to the smaller independent films that find competition for funding from traditional sources an almost insurmountable obstacle." Jon Gentile, who heads FilmStar, now plans to put together a substantial production fund for Miracle.
A renowned Hollywood producer, Mr. Daly's films have been nominated for 21 Oscars, and have won 13, including unprecedented back-to-back Best Picture Oscars. His latest film, The Petersburg-Cannes Express will be showcased at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

National Scientific Corporation to Develop Wi-Fi Tags With Ekahau, Inc.
Monday May 19, 9:40 am ET
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- National Scientific Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: NSCT - News) today announced plans with Ekahau, Inc. to develop a new type of Wi-Fi hardware platform capable of providing tracking or positioning information on any standard Wi-Fi network by using Ekahau's award winning Wi-Fi software location platform, Ekahau Positioning Engine(TM). The new hardware design is intended to extend the indoor positioning capabilities of NSC's line of Location Tools(TM) products at a much lower cost than previously considered possible, due to the widespread and growing presence of standard Wi-Fi infrastructure.
ADVERTISEMENT
The new device is an offshoot of research from NSC's DarkStar(TM) wireless platform products, and is expected to be offered in both a standalone, tracking-only "tag or badge" format, and as an optional subassembly to the NSC's current line of embedded DarkStar(TM) systems. By using Ekahau's patent pending positioning software combined with NSC's high efficiency Wi-Fi hardware devices, users can accurately pinpoint in real time the location of mobile client devices or assets in a standard Wi-Fi 802.11x network to usually within a few feet.
In its tag form, the unit is expected to emphasize small size and low unit cost, with a focus on indoor use, although in school or campus-style environments with extensive Wi-Fi coverage, these tags will provide outdoor positioning information as well. In NSC's current DarkStar(TM) embedded systems, which already contain outdoor GPS as standard equipment, the new Wi-Fi module add-on is expected to complement accurate outdoor GPS readings with seamless indoor tracking capability within Wi-Fi enabled environments, creating one of the first commercially viable indoor/outdoor end-to-end tracking solutions.
NSC CEO Michael Grollman said, "We believe our new Wi-Fi badge can dramatically change the asset tracking market. By using the existing standard Wi-Fi data network for tracking purposes, we can create wireless tracking applications without a proprietary reader infrastructure, which is typically expensive and has previously been required for accurate indoor positioning. This can create fast ROI in several vertical industry segments through improved work flow and asset management."
The two companies will jointly develop and market the final product directly to developers and through solution partners. Wide availability is targeted for later this year, with limited developer sampling this summer. NSC is actively soliciting interested solution developers worldwide at wifisolutions@nscus.com .
Ekahau, Inc. is the industry leader in location-enabling Wi-Fi networks. Ekahau has offices in Saratoga, CA and in Helsinki, Finland. For more information about Ekahau, please visit their web site at www.ekahau.com .
NSC designs and builds versatile wireless platforms for location-sensitive applications. For more information about NSC, its people, and its technology please visit the Company's web site at www.national-scientific.com .

KAHI - LOS ANGELES, CA, May. 15, 2003 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
Kaire Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB: KAHI), sees a bright future for its pharmacy services group. Central to the company's restructuring agenda is a clear focus on immediate sales opportunities. 'The company's investment in fulfillment infrastructure allows us to focus on selling new clients,'stated Steve Westlund Kaire's president.
The pharmacy services group is focused on providing fulfillment of patient prescriptions to residential care facilities. The target market within the State of California for the pharmacy services group is the facility with fewer than seven beds. The California Health Care Foundation cites in a January 2002 primer on 'residential care facilities for the elderly'that of the over 6,000 residential care facilities in California 78% have fewer than seven beds. The payment and reimbursement guidelines for prescription drugs sold to clients within this target market under MediCal assure both a fair margin of profit and timely payment. Further quantifying the market opportunity for the company Westlund added, 'It has been our experience that the annual pharmacy expenditure per bed in the board and care facilities we serve can run as high as $6,000 per year.'
'Our sales goal for the next eighteen months is 500 facilities or roughly 2500 residential care clients in Southern California,'stated Scott W. Absher, Kaire's advisor in the company's growth agenda. Continuing his comments Absher said that, 'within our immediate local market and given our fulfillment infrastructure we believe that 2500 clients is a realist sales goal.'The revenue goal for Kaire's pharmacy services group is $30 million annually within 24 months.

DSLN - First Quarter Revenue Increases 47%, Gross Margin Increases 70% and Adjusted EBITDA Improves 10% from Year Earlier
NEW HAVEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2003--DSL.net, Inc. (NASDAQ:DSLN - News), a leading nationwide provider of broadband communications services to businesses, today reported first quarter 2003 financial results.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2003 was $16.8 million, representing a 47% increase from first quarter of 2002 revenue of $11.4 million. The Company ended the first quarter with approximately 33,800 installed broadband subscriber lines, a 57% increase compared to a year earlier.
The Company generated gross margin, or revenue less network expense, of $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2003, representing a 70% improvement over gross margin of $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2002.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash stock compensation ("Adjusted EBITDA") for the first quarter of 2003 was negative $3.5 million, a 10% improvement compared to negative $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2002.
Free cash flow (defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus capital expenditures) for the first quarter of 2003 was negative $3.9 million, a 14% improvement over first quarter of 2002 free cash flow of negative $4.5 million.
Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow in the first quarter of 2003 were affected by expenses related to integration of network assets and related subscriber lines acquired from Network Access Solutions Corporation (NAS).
"Consistent with our previous quarters, we continued to generate improved cash flows in the first quarter of 2003. In addition, we made significant progress integrating network assets and related subscriber lines acquired from NAS at the beginning of the quarter," said David F. Struwas, chairman and chief executive officer of DSL.net. "We also continued to pursue external growth opportunities and, shortly after the first quarter closed, we announced plans for a strategic acquisition of substantially all of the assets and operations of TalkingNets, Inc. We believe this transaction can provide us with tremendous value by allowing us to incorporate a voice platform into our existing data network - and positioning us to realize new revenue streams and margins."
Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, was $9.2 million, representing a 3% improvement over net loss of $9.5 million for the first quarter of 2002. Further improvements in net loss on a year-over-year basis were offset by the expenses associated with the NAS integration.
On a per share basis, the Company reported a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $0.20 per share for the first quarter of 2003, compared to $0.18 per share for the same period a year earlier. The 2003 period included charges for dividends and accretions on a larger amount of outstanding preferred stock than the 2002 period. These preferred stock-related charges translated into $0.06 per share for the first quarter of 2003, compared to $0.03 per share for the first quarter of 2002.
At the end of the first quarter of 2003, the Company had $4.5 million in cash. The Company has a $15 million revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, with availability based on third-party guarantees. As part of its ongoing financing activities, the Company has secured $9.1 million of such guarantees and has drawn approximately $6.1 million under the facility. Total assets at the end of the first quarter were $66.7 million.
"We are aggressively pursuing multiple avenues of financing to fund our existing business plan," said Robert J. DeSantis, chief financial officer of DSL.net. "We believe our first quarter 2003 financial results and recent strategic acquisitions improve DSL.net's value proposition for investors."

Mr. Janovec, President of AmeriResource Technologies stated, 'Business travelers, as well as non-business travelers, increasingly think of high-speed Internet connectivity in their hotel rooms as a necessity rather than a convenience.

In addition, without the need to rewire the hundreds of rooms per hotel, the implementation timelines for adding these high-speed capabilities are very short,'continued Mr. Janovec.
Mr. Montelongo stated, 'We are pleased to be joining with AmeriResource Technologies in the new venture. As a result of launching the new business units, we'll be able to provide high-speed Internet access to more hotels through a managed business expansion.
