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."
DSL.net will host a conference call to discuss results for the quarter, as well as future plans and expectations, today at 11 a.m., Eastern Time.

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.

My uncle once lost his new hat
and had spent days looking for it, because he couldn't afford another one.
Finally, he decided that he'd go to church on Sunday and sit at the back.
During the service he would sneak out and grab a hat from the rack at the front door.
On Sunday, he went to church and sat at the back.
The sermon was about the 10 commandments.
He sat through the whole sermon and instead of sneaking out he waited until the sermon was over and went to talk to the minister.
"Preacher,
I came here today to steal a hat
to replace the one I lost.
But after hearing your sermon on the 10 Commandments,
I changed my mind."
The minister said,
"Bless you my son.
Was it when I started to preach thou shall not steal,
that changed your heart?"
My uncle responded,
"No,
it was the one on adultery.
When you started to preach on THAT,
............... I remembered where I left my hat."
Couldn't get that one to open ....

Business: Senators eye $1.4 billion Wall Street settlement

By MARCY GORDON, AP Business Writer
WASHINGTON (May 7, 2003 12:25 p.m. EDT) - Senators are scrutinizing the government's $1.4 billion settlement with 10 major investment firms to determine whether ordinary investors will benefit and Wall Street's culture will fundamentally change.
Federal and state regulators have exposed that culture in an investigation that found analysts misled investors with stock picks designed to win the firms investment-banking business from the companies issuing the stock.
Dozens of e-mail excerpts made public last week, included in lawsuits filed against the firms by the Securities and Exchange Commission, portray an industrywide pattern of abuse, financial incentives and pressures that sometimes led analysts to publish falsely rosy stock reports.
SEC Chairman William Donaldson and New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer were scheduled to testify about the settlement Wednesday before the Senate Banking Committee.
Seeking to restore investor confidence, the SEC and state and market regulators are forcing the firms to cut the ties between analysts' research and investment banking, pay a total of $432.5 million for independent stock research for their customers, and fund an $80 million investor education program.
A fund of $387.5 million will be set up to compensate customers of the 10 firms; $487.5 million in fines will go to states according to their population.
The claims by investors who believe they were cheated are expected to surpass the former amount by far. Just how and to whom the investor restitution fund will be parceled out is unclear, and an administrator to oversee the process must first be named.
Already, investor advocates and lawmakers have criticized the states for largely planning to use the money for things like road improvement and school construction, while only a few will channel it to aggrieved investors.
The firms - including Merrill Lynch, Citigroup's Salomon Smith Barney and J.P. Morgan Chase - neither admitted to nor denied the regulators' allegations that they deceived investors.
Some senators want to know why top executives of the brokerage firms weren't held to account in the settlement for allegedly failing to properly supervise their employees. The SEC has held open the possibility of future enforcement action against executives of firms.
Under the settlement, the firms will not be able to deduct any of the payments of fines against their taxes. But because that prohibition does not extend to the firms' payments to compensate investors or pay for independent research or investor education, some lawmakers have criticized the settlement.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, already has proposed legislation to put more restrictions on the firms' ability to deduct payments against their taxes so that U.S. taxpayers won't have to pick up part of the tab.
Similarly, the firms promised in the settlement not to seek insurance reimbursement for fines they paid, but it's not clear whether they'll try to deduct more than $900 million in other payments related to the pact. The accord does not clearly address whether millions of dollars paid toward the restitution fund, independent research and investor education may be recovered.
Regulators may have intentionally left these details up to state courts, which handle most insurance disputes. If the firms do try to deduct parts of their payments, their insurers are likely to balk, experts say.
The other seven firms that took part in the settlement are Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse First Boston, Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and UBS Warburg

PIHC - 9th Consecutive Profitable Quarter''5/7/03
PEABODY, Mass., May 7, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
PHC, Inc., d.b.a. Pioneer Behavioral Health (OTCBB:PIHC):
-- Signed $1.8 Million Contract with Wayne County, Michigan
-- 3rd Q Revenue of $5,871,834 with Net Income of $130,811, or$.01/Share
-- 1st 9 Months Revenue Increased to $17.5 Million
-- 1st 9 Months Net Income Was $797,956, or $.05/Share
PHC, Inc., d.b.a. Pioneer Behavioral Health (OTCBB:PIHC), a leading provider of inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services, today announced its third quarter financial results for fiscal 2003, which ended on March 31, 2003.
Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were comparable at $5,871,834 versus $5,889,929 for the comparable prior year period. Net income applicable to common shareholders for the three months was $130,811 or $.01 per diluted share, from $416,431, or $.03 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Earnings for the quarter are on an untaxed Federal basis, but include $26,074 in state tax provision and are based on 14,814,570 diluted shares outstanding versus 14,195,971 diluted shares outstanding for the comparable prior year period.
Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 increased 4% to $17,519,391 versus $16,883,958 for the comparable prior year period. Specifically, revenue from non-patient operations increased 64% to $1,655,470 from $1,009,195 reported in the comparable year ago period. Net income applicable to common shareholders for the nine months was $797,956, or $.05 per diluted share, compared to $817,922 or $.06 per diluted share in 2002. Earnings for the nine months are on an untaxed Federal basis, but include $36,074 in state tax provision and are based on 14,577,540 diluted shares outstanding versus 14,111,929 diluted shares outstanding for the comparable prior year period. Operating cash flow during the first nine months increased to $1,040,651 from $794,518 in the year ago period.
The balance sheet remained strong with a current ratio 1.05:1 on March 31, 2003. Shareholder's equity increased 191%, to $1,793,678, up from $615,985 as of June 30, 2002. Further, the Company continues to pay down long-term debt from operating cash flow, which was reduced during the quarter by approximately 7% and stood at $2.62 million on March 31st.
The third fiscal quarter of 2003 was highlighted by the Company's announcement that its WellPlace Division had been contracted by the Detroit-Wayne County Community Mental Health Agency to provide 24-hour mental health information and referral services through both the telephone and Internet 365 days per year. The contract, valued at approximately $1.8 million annually, is the largest implemented to date by WellPlace and provides critical services to the 2.2 million residents of Wayne County, Michigan.
Bruce A. Shear, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, 'While we are pleased to announce our 9th consecutive quarter of profitability, we were not satisfied with the level of net income achieved during the third quarter. There were several events which occurred at roughly the same time that contributed to the decrease in net margins, including an unusually low Census, timing issues related to clinical trial testing at our Pioneer Pharmaceutical Research Division (PPR), along with initial set-up and marketing costs necessary for the launch of our Wayne County, Michigan contract.'
'At this point it looks like we are off to a great start for the June quarter and we expect the fourth fiscal quarter to be considerably better both on a sequential and comparable basis. We believe that airport and travel delays caused by this winter's storms, coupled with the beginning of the war, resulted in a short-term decline in patient census. Our facilities are close to full capacity and we plan to open the new expansion at our Salt Lake Facility next month. The Company's PPR division recently announced the signing of four new contracts with Major Pharmaceutical customers and is now conducting nine research studies, with three more expected to start in the next several weeks. Current new study backlog for this division is approximately $553,000 and as that number continues to grow it will provide more revenue predictability on an ongoing basis. Services to Wayne County have rolled out smoothly and the contract is now profitable for PIHC. In addition, we continue to pursue smoking cessation contracts in several states and anticipate final decisions from at least three during the next few months,'Mr. Shear went on to say.
Pioneer will hold its earnings conference call at 4:15 P.M. Eastern Time, on Wednesday, May 7, 2003. To join management please call 877/692-2086 if calling within the US or 973/582-2749 if calling internationally. There will be a playback available until May 14, 2003.

ITIS Announces New Litigation Support Contract
Wednesday May 7, 8:02 am ET
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2003--ITIS Holdings Inc. (OTCBB:ITHH - News) today announced that Houston attorneys John M. O'Quinn and James W. "Wes" Christian have hired ITIS subsidiary Litidex® to provide automated litigation support services for a stock manipulation case being filed for Sedona Corporation (SDNA.OB). Litidex® continues to provide litigation support services to a number of companies involved in litigation concerning alleged stock manipulation. Among the companies presently contracted with Litidex and already in litigation are Eagle Tech Communications Inc. (EATC.PK), Nanopierce Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:NPCT - News), Endovasc Ltd. Inc. (OTCBB:ENVC - News), RTIN Holdings Inc. (OTCBB:RTNH - News), Hyperdynamics Corporation (OTCBB:HYPD - News), and ATSI Communications Inc. (AI).
Wes Christian, of Christian, Smith & Jewell, commented, "In our opinion, we continue to see more and more occasions of small companies seeking capital to implement their business plans falling prey to predatory financing. The difficulty in capital formation and building a business, while a company's stock is continually manipulated downward, has, in our opinion, resulted in many good young companies disappearing."
Mr. Christian added, "It is further our opinion that this is a widespread problem in the financial markets today. The small start-up company is the foundation for many workers and technological advancements that are vital to economic growth. Just because you are a small-cap company doesn't mean you are not entitled to the same protections from naked short selling as any Fortune 500 company. We seek to repair the damages done to ITIS Holdings, Sedona, and all of the companies who have contracted with us to attempt to prevent this type of behavior in the future."
"Litidex continues to provide document management and litigation support work for stock fraud cases accepted by attorneys John O'Quinn and Wes Christian," said Chairman of ITIS Holdings Hunter Carr, who added, "We are excited to add Sedona Corporation to the group of companies that we are serving, and anticipate additional litigation support contracts are forthcoming."
