NEW HAVEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 6, 2003--DSL.net, Inc. (NASDAQ: DSLN - News), a leading nationwide provider of broadband communications services to businesses, today reported fourth quarter and full-year 2002 financial results.
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $11.3 million, representing a 2% increase from fourth quarter 2001 revenue of $11.1 million and a slight increase over third quarter 2002 revenue. Revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2002, was $45.5 million, an 8.5% increase over revenue of $42.0 million for 2001. The Company ended the fourth quarter with more than 22,100 installed broadband subscriber lines.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $8.8 million, representing an 18% improvement compared to a net loss of $10.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2001. The Company's third quarter 2002 net loss was $8.5 million, which included a $600,000 non-recurring net research and development credit. Excluding the third quarter credit, net loss for the fourth quarter improved by 3% on a sequential basis. Net loss for the year ended Dec. 31, 2002, was $36.1 million, a 69% improvement over the net loss of $115.5 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2001.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash stock compensation ("Adjusted EBITDA") for the fourth quarter of 2002 was negative $3.5 million, a 28% improvement compared to negative $4.9 million in the fourth quarter 2001. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA was negative $3.0 million for the third quarter 2002. Excluding the third quarter credit, Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter improved slightly on a sequential basis. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended Dec. 31, 2002, was negative $14.3 million, representing an 84% improvement compared to negative $86.7 million for 2001.

Free cash flow for the third quarter 2002 was negative $3.4 million. Excluding the third quarter credit, free cash flow for the fourth quarter improved by 3% on a sequential basis. Free cash flow for the year ended Dec. 31, 2002, was negative $15.9 million, which represents an improvement of 83% over the negative $92.0 million of free cash flow for 2001.
"Our continued improvements in Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are consistent with our primary objective of generating improved cash flows," said David F. Struwas, chairman and chief executive officer of DSL.net. "Just as important, we continued to pursue external growth opportunities in 2002 and gained court approval in the fourth quarter to acquire network assets and related subscriber lines of Network Access Solutions Corporation (NAS), a transaction we closed in January 2003."
At the end of 2002, the Company had $11.3 million in cash. The Company used $7.4 million of its cash in January to close the NAS acquisition. As part of its ongoing financing activities, around the end of the year, the Company arranged a $15 million revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, with availability based on third-party guarantees. To date, $9.1 million of such guarantees has been secured.
In addition to the NAS acquisition activities in 2002, DSL.net made two smaller acquisitions during the year - acquiring customer lines from Broadslate Networks in January and Abacus America in August.
On a per share basis, the Company reported a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $0.20 per share for the fourth quarter of 2002, compared to $0.17 per share for the same quarter a year earlier. For the year ended Dec. 31, 2002, net loss per share applicable to common stockholders was $0.77 per share, which represents a 57% improvement over net loss of $1.81 per share for the prior year. The 2002 periods included significant charges for dividends and accretions on preferred stock while the 2001 periods did not. These 2002 charges translated into $0.06 per share for the fourth quarter 2002 and $0.21 per share for the entire year. There was no per share impact in 2001.
DSL.net will host a conference call to discuss results for the quarter and full-year 2002 today at 11 a.m., Eastern Time. Interested parties may listen to the live audio webcast of the call by visiting the investor relations section of DSL.net's Web site, www.dsl.net.

Tuesday March 4, 9:00 am ET
NIWOT, Colo., March 4, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Arete Industries, Inc. (OTC BB:ARET.OB - News), a publicly traded business development company, announced today that it signed a non-binding letter of intent to purchase a 5% non-managing membership interest in Tri-State Transfer Industries, LLC, of Stratford, Connecticut.

It is presently involved in developing its first such facility in Grosvenor-Dale, Connecticut, to serve communities in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
ADVERTISEMENT
The LLC interest will be purchased with restricted shares of the Company's common stock. The transaction is subject to completion of due diligence and approval of formal documents, scheduled to be completed within 15 days of the date of this release. Tri-State is in the process of completing site acquisition contracts, formalizing and presenting development plans, obtaining building permits, purchasing equipment, securing commitment letters from municipalities for delivery of MSW to the site, and securing financing for equipment purchases and construction of the facilities.

They are keen on building up quickly to meet an ever increasing demand for these facilities in the northeast of the country where municipal waste management and construction material recycling is a real issue. This capability, plus the Tri-State management team´s sincere interest in going public in the medium term, makes this a perfect first deal for the Arete Industries, Inc. Spin-Off Dividend Distribution Program,´´ Raabe continued.
The Company's ``Spin-Off, Dividend Distribution Program´´ is designed to allow qualified businesses that Arete acquires to go public by either issuing to Arete´s shareholders a stock dividend or effecting a rights offering of the subsidiary´s stock after an incubation period.

Applied Imaging Announces 2002 Results
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Applied Imaging Corp. (Nasdaq: AICX) today announced preliminary unaudited fiscal year 2002 results. The Company achieved record revenues of at least $21.0 million, an increase of 13% over the $18.5 million reported in 2001. This increase was driven primarily by the growth in sales of the Company's new OncoPath(TM) products, SPOT(TM) and Ariol(TM).
The Company's net loss for the year was reduced by at least 81% to $688,000 in 2002, or a loss of $0.04 per share, from the $3.5 million net loss reported in 2001 or a loss per share of $0.23. The reduced net loss was due to increased gross profit, from improved margin and incremental sales, and reduced operating expenses attributable to the restructuring program implemented in the first quarter of 2002.
"Although we are disappointed that top-line performance was below our expectations, 2002 was another year of significant progress for Applied Imaging. We achieved record revenues, reduced costs, reduced net loss and, most importantly, launched two major new products, our Ariol and SPOT systems, which we expect to be the catalyst for the Company's growth in 2003 and beyond," said Carl Hull, Applied Imaging President and Chief Executive Officer. "We remain very optimistic about the prospects for 2003. Every indication from our clinical laboratory customers is that demand for genetic testing services is increasing at 25-35% per year. We plan to capitalize on that growth by increasing sales of our existing products and our new OncoPath systems to these clinical customers. As a result, we expect 2003 sales to be in the range of $24 to $27 million and profit for the year to be between $1.2 and $1.8 million."
Sales for the fourth quarter were at least $4.9 million, or 7% below last year's reported $5.3 million, due primarily to reduced sales outside of the Americas and the phase-out of one of the Company's genetics products. The net loss in 2002's fourth quarter of $729,000 compared to the breakeven performance reported in 2001's fourth quarter. The net loss in the 2002 fourth quarter was due primarily to reduced margins outside of the Americas and higher operating expenses of $264,000, due to the impact of one-time expenses.
The Company has not yet completed its review, announced on February 3rd, of specific distributor sales in 2001 and 2002. Completion of that review will determine whether any adjustment may be required to the Company's previously-issued financial statements.

ARET News >> Arete Industries Providing Unique Program to Bring Publicly Traded Benefits to Development Stage Businesses
Monday March 3, 9:15 am ET
NIWOT, Colo., March 3, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Arete Industries (OTC BB:ARET.OB - News), a publicly traded business development company, announced today that it has moved to its new offices in Niwot, Colorado and is moving forward on a program designed to bring publicly traded benefits to development stage companies.
ADVERTISEMENT
The Company's ``Spin-Off, Dividend Distribution Program´´ is designed to facilitate acquisitions of companies that already have achieved a strong fundamental base of business, including a developed product or service, a clearly identified market and the near term potential to become a publicly traded company. The Program allows qualified businesses that Arete acquires to go public by issuing to its shareholders a dividend or making a rights offering of the subsidiary´s stock to the Arete shareholders after an incubation period.
The CEO of Arete Industries, Tom Raabe, said, ``With the current economic situation and the lack of Initial Public Offerings, many companies need a hand in securing the funding and management assistance needed to grow their company to the next stage. Arete Industries believes that its Program will help a number of these organizations to grow and succeed. At the same time, these companies will help Arete Industries grow and provide additional return on investment to our shareholders.´´
In brief, the Spin-Off Dividend Distribution Program from Arete Industries acquires the private company into Arete Industries as a subsidiary. Arete Industries is able to assist the management team of the acquired company with its business plans, financing needs and marketing efforts. When the subsidiary has matured and conformed to the standards and practices of a public company, it will then be spun off to the Arete shareholders as a public company. When this spin-off takes place, it is anticipated that the newly public company will generate an initial market capitalization that accurately reflects the true fundamental value of the company.
The vision of Arete Industries is to incubate development stage companies at the beginning of their high-growth, pre or post break-even stage, and offer them an opportunity to go public through a process which is far superior to reverse mergers with public ``shell´´ corporations. This incubation period is not designed to bring start-up companies to the development stage, but rather to assist companies that have completed that phase of development. Arete believes that there is a large number of good candidates at this stage of development that are yet too immature to raise growth capital from private investors, the public equity markets or through conventional debt financing; and that can benefit from the Company´s Spin-Off, Dividend Distribution Program.
