ITIS Holdings Inc. Lauds SEC Amendment Strengthening Rule on Delivery of Stock
Tuesday March 18, 7:00 am ET
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 2003--Hunter Carr, chairman & CEO of ITIS Holdings Inc. (OTCBB:ITHH - News), today announced the Company's support of the SEC Amendment to the Collateral Requirements in Rule 15c3-3, which requires broker-dealers to provide full collateral when borrowing fully paid and excess margin securities from customers (http://www.sec.gov/news/digest/dig031103.txt).
"This and other recent SEC actions are encouraging news for both companies and investors who have been victims of various market manipulation schemes, as has ITIS Holdings Inc.," said Carr.
Carr said he views recent announcements by the SEC as an indication the Agency is responding to complaints of questionable practices by expanding its probe of suspicious short-selling trading activities to include market makers and broker dealers participating in suspect transactions. One such announcement was the imposition of a $1 million fine against Rhino Advisors and its president, who were accused of manipulating short sales in stock of Sedona Corp. (http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2003-26.htm).
In a related matter, the Securities Industry Association (SIA) on Monday expressed its support for the Depository Trust Co.'s (DTC) recent decision that shareholders, not companies, should decide if shares are to be held in electronic form or in paper certificates. In January 2003, ITIS Holdings Inc. rescinded its request to exit the DTC, citing a desire not "to cause its loyal stockholders any hardship." Commenting on the situation, Mr. Carr said, "If the Canadian Depository System (CDS) would require deliverance, those with naked shorts would be forced to buy shares to cover. We are excited about the news and the changes taking place in the regulatory area."

AFFI PRESS RELEASE ... Press ReleaseSource: Affinity Technology Group, Inc.
Affinity Issues Additional Convertible Notes and Announces a New Executive Structure
Monday March 17, 8:36 am ET
COLUMBIA, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 17, 2003--Affinity Technology Group, Inc. (OTCBB:AFFI - News) today announced that it has completed a private placement of $200,000 principal amount of its convertible notes.
The issuance of the convertible notes is a continuation of the convertible note program under which the Company first sold its convertible notes in June 2002. The notes mature in two years, are convertible into the Company's common stock at $0.20 per share, and are secured by all the outstanding stock of the Company's wholly-owned patent licensing subsidiary, decisioning.com.
Affinity also announced that Joseph A. Boyle, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, will significantly reduce his time commitment to the Company beginning in April 2003. This measure reflects Affinity's engagement of LPS Group to manage the day-to-day aspects of its patent licensing program. Mr. Boyle will continue to serve on a reduced basis as Affinity's President and Chief Executive Officer, and has also accepted a position in the Columbia office of Elliott Davis, LLC, a leading southeastern accounting and consulting firm.
Affinity also announced that Sean Douglas has been promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. It that capacity, Mr. Douglas will oversee the Company's day-to-day operations and activities.
Mr. Boyle stated, "With the recent appointment of LPS Group as our exclusive licensing agent, my responsibilities have been greatly diminished. Since the end of January, I have worked closely with Dooyong Lee, the President of LPS Group, to integrate him into our patent licensing program. Now that we are past that stage, our resources are best used to pursue our patent licensing program through our agent. I will continue to oversee Mr. Lee's work and to fulfill my ongoing responsibilities as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. I am also pleased about the appointment of Sean Douglas as our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Sean has worked for the Company for over 7 years, and Affinity is fortunate to have his abundant knowledge and management skills to handle the day-to-day operations of the Company.
Interested shareholders are invited to read my 'Message to Shareholders' which further discusses our new executive structure at our website located at www.affi.net."
MCTR News >> Mercator to Vigorously Protect the Rights of Its Stockholders from Action by Dissident Group
WILTON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 17, 2003--Mercator Software, Inc. (Nasdsaq: MCTR), today announced that a small group of dissidents has stated that it intends to solicit proxies in an attempt to take control of the Company's Board of Directors.
Responding to the action, Roy C. King, Mercator's Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "Despite an industry downturn, Mercator's operating performance during 2002 exceeded that of its peer group. During this same period (a time of decreasing expenditures on Information Technology products in the market), Mercator's share of the enterprise application integration (EAI) market increased from 9.9% to 10.5%. We are disappointed that a small group of dissidents whose interests clearly appear to be focused on short-term gain would seek to change the direction of the Company at such a propitious moment."
King added, "The Company will take all appropriate steps to protect the interests of all of its stockholders and maximize stockholder value."

Allergy Research Group, Inc. Reports Profits For 2002
Friday March 14, 2:23 pm ET
HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2003--Allergy Research Group, Inc. (OTCBB:ALRG - News) today announced financial results for the year ending December 31, 2002.
ALRG recorded total revenue of $12,684,413 for the year, up 8% from 2001. The increase of $935,214 is primarily due to increased marketing efforts and the introduction of new products.
"We are encouraged by the increase in sales which is instrumental in meeting our financial goals," said Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Dr. Stephen A. Levine, Ph.D., who has implemented a strategy that includes cost controls, the development of a comprehensive management team, increased sales and marketing efforts and reduction of debt.
Cost of sales increased $480,016 to $7,587,795 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $7,107,779 for the year ended December 31, 2001, a corresponding increase resulting from the increase in sales. Gross profit margins increased approximately .7%, approximating 40.2% for 2002 resulting from the higher margins associated with retail sales.
During the period ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded net income of $997,862, as compared to net income of $326,557 for the period ended December 31, 2001. The increase is a reflection of the increase in sales, higher profit margins, a reduction in selling and general and administrative expenses, from $4,070,974 in 2001 to $3,924,080 in 2002 and a reduction of interest expense. Interest expense decreased approximately $122,393 for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to December 31, 2001 due to declining interest rates and the reduction of our outstanding line of credit to zero during the fourth quarter of 2002.

As Info >>> New Rule 10b5-1 would create insider-trading liability for anyone who traded while aware of material inside information.
This rule stands in stark contrast to federal court rulings that have required proof that a person charged with insider trading "used" material insider information.
The new rule does provide a very narrow defense for trades made pursuant to binding contracts, instructions or written plans that are in place before an insider becomes aware of any material inside information.
This defense, however, is only available if the arrangement expressly specifies the amount, price and date of any trades or gives some third party complete discretion over trading.
In addition, the defense is lost to any person who alters or deviates from the contract or plan or who enters into or alters any hedging transactions.
For a number of years, securities lawyers have advised corporate insiders to dispose of their stock on a consistent, periodic basis to avoid allegations that a particular trade was motivated by material inside information.
Indeed, a number of courts have held that a history of such trading will protect an insider from insider trading charges when they sell prior to a significant drop in their stock.
Under the new rules, however, a regular pattern of trading is no protection unless it was conducted in strict accordance with a contract or written plan meeting the specific requirements of the rule.
Rule 10b5-2 expands the circle of people who are liable for insider trading when they trade on the basis of a tip received from someone else.
Under the new rule, people who received material inside information from their parents, spouses, children, siblings or others with whom they have a history of sharing confidences will now be liable for insider trading if they subsequently trade on the basis of that information.

The conference, which was held at the Hilton Anaheim, CA last Thursday, provided attendees a look at the latest technologies in safety and security with special hands-on, interactive tech expo and drew hundreds of participants, including corporate giants such as Hilton Hotels Corp. and Walt Disney.
ClearPass' showcased biometric security products included the CP-1000 Advanced USB Fingerprint Reader, CP-1100 SmartCard and Fingerprint Reader Combo, CP-5000 and CP-6000 Biometric Authentication, Time Attendance and Access Controllers, and biometric controlled door locks.
The CP-1000 has a compact, rugged silicon sensor and robust software, based on technology originally developed at Lucent/Bell Labs, which can authenticate users with USB fingerprint reader from any PC or laptop computer. The embedded biometric silicon sensor detects forged and falsified fingerprints, provides secure access to computers, files, networks, and internet communications, and protects privacy and confidential data with included encryption/decryption software.
The CP-1100 offers simple, user-friendly strong authentication in the form of a fingerprint reader, smart card reader, or both, and provides added security with 2-factor authentication.
The CP-5000 uses advanced fingerprint recognition technology to provide foolproof access control and/or time attendance. It is designed with perfect convenience, safety and security for installation at high-level security facilities and meets requirements for cost-effective, large-scale enrollment identification and verification applications.
The CP-6000 comes with advanced biometric recognition technology using embedded high performance fingerprint reader and built-in digital camera to confirm identities. A foolproof method to increase site security and control access without having to hire additional personnel to monitor and verify each entrant. The device meets requirements for high-traffic, large-scale enrollment and can be used at a variety of facilities such as airports, theme parks, cruise ships, health clubs, corporate and government buildings, and hotels to provide foolproof 2-factor identity verifications that can not be forged or falsified. The CP-6000 unit can be used as a stand-alone or connected to a network.
The Company was very pleased at the high level of interest in the ClearPass' products at the security expo and believed that this would translate into some good orders in the near future.
