iBIZ Technology Corp. Completes Second Quarter With a Backlog in Customer Orders
Wednesday April 30, 6:31 pm ET
PHOENIX, April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iBIZ Technology Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: IBZT - News) completed its second fiscal quarter with a backlog of customer orders.
ADVERTISEMENT
Commenting on the iBIZ's second quarter business, Ken Schilling, iBIZ President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Repositioning our unique line of PDA value added accessories can be a slow an arduous process, however, we are extremely pleased to close this quarter with a backlog of customer orders including orders from industry leaders Dell and Palm through their distribution channels. At the beginning of our new fiscal year, which started on November 1, 2002, iBIZ began a restructuring program with our PDA product lineup in an effort to deliver, usable additional value to PDA ownership. Today, and as a direct result of our restructuring program we have a product roadmap that is second to none as we began shipping several of our newest products in February of this year. As a result of orders received late in Q2 revenue results for the second quarter will remain soft, however, they will be reflected as shipments are booked in this current quarter (Q3)."
"Beginning in May we'll start delivery to Synnex Information Technologies Inc. with our pocket RADIO CF Card (http://www.ibizcorp.com/pocketradio.html) designed specifically for the Dell Axim, and accordingly will be available through Dell's online store once the inventory is in stock at Synnex. Our participation as a Palm partner during the spring Retail Vision event in Chicago at the end of March, left us with a substantial level of renewed interest in our products from both national and regional retailers. In June, our SDIO pocket RADIO will be available through the Palm Store and our new Xela Case Keyboard (http://www.ibizpda.com/xela.html) will be featured on ad at many of the major retail chains nationwide. During the course of Q1 and Q2 we continued to direct the company to discard all non-profitable entities. Moreover, as a result of our guidance, we substantially paired down overhead costs and directed more of our costs to outsourcing with partners who will be paid through performance. Concurrent with managing costs, we have partnered with a nationally recognized Rep. Management team who enjoys a much broader presence in the retail channel and is beginning to deliver measurable results."
Schilling further commented, "In general, PDA sector sales have been sluggish since it's surge three years ago, however, the existing PDA manufacturing leaders and new players in this sector are once again beginning to stimulate market growth with better price performance, power and unique designs. To that end, iBIZ will continue to direct our efforts toward building a value added line of PDA accessories that will increase in market awareness and product penetration in all channels. Today, iBIZ Technology is a very different company than it was just a few short months ago. By cutting overhead expenses by more than 75 percent and redirecting our efforts to product innovation and development, we believe we are on our way to a profitable future."

Subdermal VeriChip and New Temperature-Sensing Microchip Technology Successfully Demonstrated at London Healthcare Conference - April 28-29, 2003
Wednesday April 30, 8:35 am ET
Potential Healthcare Applications of These Implantable Microchip Technologies Discussed at IDTechEx "Smart Tagging in Healthcare" Conference
PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 2003-- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADSX - News) an advanced technology development company, announced today that it successfully demonstrated its subdermal VeriChip personal verification microchip, as well as a new, implantable, temperature-sensing microchip technology at the IDTechEx "Smart Tagging in Healthcare" conference held in London, April 28-29, 2003.
Dr. Richard Seelig, Vice President of Medical Applications for VeriChip Corporation, provided the international audience with a live demonstration of VeriChip and discussed its many potential healthcare applications - which are subject to regulation by the US Food and Drug Administration.
Dr. Seelig also provided the first-ever public demonstration of a new temperature-sensing microchip technology, marketed, patented and first announced by Digital Angel Corporation (AMEX: DOC - News) in February 2003. This new Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) microchip has similar dimensions and performance characteristics as VeriChip, but it can also obtain and transmit body temperature data. In the live demonstration, a volunteer placed the microchip just behind her ear then passed the handheld scanner over the chip to instantly obtain her temperature reading. Human healthcare applications of this technology are subject to appropriate regulations in the US and other jurisdictions.
The two-day IDTechEx conference was attended by representatives of private sector and government organizations. In its marketing materials, IDTechEx refers to the London conference as the "first major" conference devoted to the potential healthcare benefits of smart tagging technologies. As described by IDTechEx, the conference was intended to help attendees "learn how smart labels can save lives, reduce errors, improve health, reduce costs and lead to new services."
About IDTechEX
IDTechEx is the world's leading independent expert on the development and application of smart label technologies. IDTechEx is a knowledge based consultancy, located in the UK and USA.

About VeriChip(TM)
VeriChip is a miniaturized radio frequency identification device (RFID) that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a unique verification number and will be available in several formats, some of which will be insertable under the skin. The verification number is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number. In October 2002, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that VeriChip was not a regulated device with regard to its security, financial, personal identification/safety applications but that VeriChip's healthcare information applications are regulated by the FDA. VeriChip Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions.

IMCC - Fitch Ratings places Fairbanks Capital Corp's (Fairbanks) residential primary servicer ratings of 'RPS1'for subprime,'RPS1-'for Alt-A and Home Equity (closed-end seconds and HELOCs) and the 'RSS1'residential special servicer rating on Rating Watch Negative, pending Fitch's determination of the impact of certain of their reporting and remittance practices.
Fairbanks changed its servicing procedures with regard to certain transactions, including IMC Mortgage Company and ContiMortgage Corp. issuances, to allow for the charging of interest on advances paid by Fairbanks. Industry participants have questioned whether this practice is considered reasonable and customary for the industry.
To better determine its opinion regarding the above and as a continuation of its efforts to monitor and assess Fairbanks'servicing performance in light of recent events Fitch's Operational Risk Group has scheduled a targeted on-site review. The servicer review phase is scheduled to be completed within the next 30 days and will include visits to Fairbanks'four servicing facilities which are located in Utah, Texas, Florida and Pennsylvania.
The servicer reviews will also focus on the numerous allegations and lawsuits filed against Fairbanks by consumers citing predatory and deceptive business practices, as well as the HUD and FTC Reviews. In addition, the reviews will address Fairbanks practices with regard to the charging of fees, timely posting of payments, timely resolution of customer service complaints, and collection and foreclosure procedures, some of which have been recently changed as a result of the company's efforts to proactively confront these allegations.
If at any time Fitch determines that Fairbanks has not fully met the requirements of a servicer at their current level Fitch will take immediate and definitive action with regard to their servicer ratings.
For more information on Fitch's residential mortgage servicer rating program, please see Fitch's report, 'Residential Mortgage Servicer Ratings', dated Feb. 21, 2003 and available on the Fitch Ratings web site at 'www.fitchratings.com'.

Being A Woman
Everyday I give thanks to the Goddess,
I have two mounds upon my bodice.
I shave my legs, I sit down to pee.
I can justify any shopping spree.
Not to a barber, but a beauty salon
Can get a massage without a hard on.
Can balance the checkbook, pump my on gas.
Can talk to my friends about the size of my ass.
I always save money by using coupons.
Can admit to others when I am wrong.
Don't drive in circles at any cost,
So I don't have to admit when I am lost.
Don't act like I'm in a timed marathon
Every time I go to the john.
Let me tell you men, listen to me boys...
Those things in your pants that you treat as toys...
You love them more then we ever will.
We would rather suck on a cold pickled dill.
I spend two hours preparing for a date,
Only to find you're two hours late.
I don't watch movies with lots of gore.
Don't need instant replay to remember the score.
I won't lose my hair, I don't get jock itch And just cause I'm assertive, don't call me a bitch.
I don't wear the same underwear everyday. The food in my fridge has no sign of decay.
I don't go to Sears to look at the tools. I don't cheat at poker, I follow the rules.
I don't smoke cigars.
Don't pay for drinks at bars.
I don't punch my friends just to say "Hi" And it's o.k. for me to cry.
I know all you men
Think that you're "IT",
But compared to a woman
................ You just ain't SHIT!
A squad of American soldiers was patrolling
along the Iraqi border.
To their surprise, they found the badly mangled dead body of an Iraqi soldier in a ditch along side the road.
A short distance up the road, they found a badly mangled American soldier in a ditch on the other side of the road, who was still barely alive.
They ran to him, cradled his blood-covered head and asked him what had happened.
"Well," he whispered,
"I was walking down this road, armed to the teeth.
I came across this heavily armed Iraqi border guard.
I looked him right in the eye and shouted,
"Saddam Hussein is an unprincipled, lying piece of trash!"
He looked me right in the eye and shouted back,
"Bill Clinton, Tom Daschle, Ted Kennedy and most of your Democrats are unprincipled, lying pieces of trash too!"
"We were standing there
shaking hands
....................... when a truck hit us." !!

Genesis Technology Group Launches "DBA China"
Wednesday April 23, 7:00 am ET
Program to Address Travel Safety and Health Concerns
BOCA RATON, FL--(INTERNET WIRE)--Apr 23, 2003 -- Genesis Technology Group, Inc. (OTC BB: GTEC ) announced today that it was formally launching a parallel business strategy to be known as "Doing Business Abroad, China" or simply "DBA China." This program, weeks in development to address current travel safety and health concerns, is directed at current and future clients planning initiatives in China.
ADVERTISEMENT
Kenneth Clinton, Executive Vice President of Business Development, explained, "We must be sensitive to the possible hesitancy that Westerners may feel in traveling abroad with uncertain world conditions, now exacerbated by the severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, outbreak.
"In no way are we altering our successful business model that encourages Western companies to travel to China to witness, first hand, the explosive growth of the economy and unbridled enthusiasm of the Chinese people, but, while SARS captures the headline, we are impelled to devise a parallel strategy: DBA China.
"This is a very detailed program that will enable clients to assign Genesis the entire task of achieving success in China, without their leaving home. Here is how the program works:
1. Contract clients engage Genesis to complete specific goals in China from manufacturing to technology transfers to joint venture creation to sourcing Chinese products, the whole array of Genesis services. Costs will be precise and under the structure currently designed for all Genesis clients; only the expense of international travel will be eliminated.
2. Genesis then names a project manager from our U.S. offices and a project manager from our Shanghai office expressly selected to advance those designated goals. The Western-based manager then travels to the place of business of the client whether in North America or Europe for in-depth training and orientation over a period of days. Simultaneously, the Shanghai-based manager will be screening candidates as partners, distributors or manufacturers based on an explicit profile designed by the client. Governmental and Shanghai Technology Stock Exchange officials also will be lined up to secure whatever approvals and backing may be required.
3. The client will always have ready access to the bilingual Chinese- and U.S.-based project managers to discuss developments, progress or problems. Designated telephone and email contact information will be provided so that the client can conveniently contact either manager in both time zones.
4. Video- and teleconferencing will commence after candidates are reviewed and selected by the Genesis team and the contract client. In-depth discussions will cover all opportunities and issues. Genesis may have a Chinese attorney and GAP-trained accountant present to answer any legal and accounting questions. Similar conferences may be arranged with STSE to discuss the prospect of funding, auctioning of patented technologies, or taking a future Sino-Western entity public.
5. Documents will be formulated and exchanged. Upon completion of negotiations, Genesis will nominate an in-China permanent project manager to report to the client on a frequent basis; this representative will be an employee of the Western client. Most transactions and activities can be Web-based and monitored off site. The client may keep travel activities to a minimum.
"Frankly, we see this DBA China program as a stop-gap measure to ward off the temporary concerns of traveling abroad. There is no substitute for being there, and we are confident that areas of comfort and safety will return to normal levels in the not-too-distant future.
"Genesis has never been more confident about the future of doing business in China. The growth continues to amaze the world, and with the accession to WTO and prospects of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, the eyes of the world are fixated on China," Mr. Clinton concluded.
