(COMTEX) B: 37Point9 Appoints Key Administrators to Far East Operations
B: 37Point9 Appoints Key Administrators to Far East Operations and Gives Update
on Current Activities with Shanghai Ecom; Results Better Than 10 Per Cent: More
Equity Value in the Offing

SAN DIEGO, Oct 21, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- 37Point9 (OTCBB:TSPN) announced
today the addition of Dr. Xie Yuan to the Medical Research Committee, Mr. Samson
Fok and Ms. Hoi Yim Wong as the initial Far East management team and an event
update.

Dr. Xie, a 1990 graduate of XinXiang Medical University and a surgeon, is
general manager and a director of Lin Bi Company, LTD., a medical products
distribution firm in Guangzhou, Peoples Republic of China. Dr. Xie also serves
in a managerial and directorial position with Zhong Shan Ying Kang Medical
Device Company, LTD., a medical device manufacturer located in Guangzhou. Both
Lin Bi and Ying Kang are in the process of being acquired by 37Point9.

Mr. Samson Fok, Managing Director of Global Glass Source (HK) Limited and a
certified public accountant, has been appointed as the financial coordinator of
Far East acquisition activities. Ms. Hoi Yim Wong, a professional nurse, will
lead the medical acquisition investigatory team.


EVENT UPDATE

The first stage audit of Shanghai Ecom Trading Company has been completed with
better than anticipated results. The International Standards Audit will commence
this week. The first stage auditing of both Lin Bi and Ying Kang in Guangzhou
are scheduled for commencement this week as well.

The Company has initiated the acquisition of Ecom Biotech Holdings Limited
("Ecom-HK") located in Hong Kong. This acquisition will centralize and
facilitate the transfer of the manufacturing and distribution licenses held by
the various companies acquired in China by 37Point9 as a transition under
Chinese law.

Shanghai Ecom has indicated that one of its key suppliers, a U.S. fortune 500
company, has initiated licensing applications to expand its distribution into
the Fujian province on the east coast of China. Shanghai Ecom also reports that
they are in negotiations with another major supplier for the Shanghai area.

The Company has entered into negotiations to acquire a subsidiary of a Southern
California company. This subsidiary presently owns and operates an FDA approved
cardiovascular laboratory and testing facility. The anticipated addition of this
company will greatly add to 37Point9's strength with the ability to perform
testing and establish Chinese State Drug Agency (SDA) protocol measures for
products to be manufactured and distributed in China and the United States under
FDA guidelines.

Additionally, as part of the SDA accreditation process, 37Point9 has opened
discussions with one of China's 12 largest teaching hospitals to conduct
clinical trials for products to be manufactured and distributed in China. The
clinical trials are necessary for the appropriate manufacturing licenses and
approvals given by the SDA and the government.

The completion of the current acquisition program and hospital affiliation will
allow 37Point9 to offer a "one stop opportunity" for the small to mid-range
medical device company to enter into the enormous Chinese marketplace. This
"opportunity" will include:


-- A preliminary analysis of the market valuation of their
product
-- Clinical trials
-- Manufacturing and sales licensing
-- Manufacturing
-- Sales distribution in the Far East
-- A U.S. sales organization

Doug Brown, President of 37Point9, commented, "37Point9 expects to have all
aspects of this program in place by the end of the first quarter of 2003. As
each acquisition is completed, 37Point9 will increasingly add to its revenue and
earnings bottom line and will add substantial intangible value which will exceed
its capitalized earnings value. This calculated building block process of
identifying and acquiring each key business aspect strengthens 37Point9's
position as a budding international company."
