WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 10, 2001

Masterpiece Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:MPTG) Previous Close: Down 7% to .065 on volume of 422,900 Shares ATTRACTIVE

Masterpiece Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:MPTG) just announced that CarbonWave, experts in platform portable software development and consulting, will be enhancing and maintaining MPTG's Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Software - Masterpiece Millennium.

MTG's EMR software was released four years ago and is currently in use by many physicians nationwide. MTG intends to sell an upgrade of the Masterpiece Millennium Software to these physicians as well as to sell it in conjunction with its Healthcare Compliance Program (HCP) to The IPA Association of America (TIPAAA) for their national physician membership.

MTG estimates that each physician who purchases a Masterpiece Millennium Software upgrade will only pay a few hundred dollars for the patient record and office automation software. A complete system, including HCP and Masterpiece Millennium EMR, will be priced for the small group practice at approximately $1,600 per physician annually. The initial target market will focus on the 249,000-physician membership of TIPAAA.

Watch MPTG Closely as it starts to regain shareholder support, and begins to climb to the $1.00 range in the short term.

e-Auction Global Trading (OTCBB:EAUC) Previous Close: Up 48% to $0.40 on vol. 48,300 Shares: ATTRACTIVE

e-Auction (OTCBB:EAUC), a provider of real-time trading and financial technologies to e-marketplaces, announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2000, Aucxis reported revenue of $4.9 million, compared with no revenue in fiscal 1999. This reflects the operations of three acquisitions made during the year, which brought established customer bases, complementary technical capabilities, and electronic trading solutions and services to enable future sales growth.

For the same period ended December 31, 2000, Aucxis reported a net loss of $4.7 million, or ($0.09) per share, compared with a net loss of $2.7 million, or ($0.07) per share, in fiscal 1999. This loss reflects increased sales, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses and amortization and depreciation costs, primarily from goodwill related to acquisitions. SG&A expenses reflect the Company's ongoing costs incurred during the preliminary projects stage and in the marketing of Aucxis' financial services platform, as well as corporate developments intended to position Aucxis for the rapid adoption and delivery of its technology suite.

The Company also announced that it has formed a strategic partnership with Electronic Data Systems Limited (EDS) to jointly target US$100 million in business over 5 years through the distribution and provisioning of the Aucxis eFinance Hub. As part of the agreement, EDS will provide state-of-the-art hosting and network management infrastructure required to support the rollout and critical demands of Aucxis' eFinance Hub. EDS will also provide Aucxis with systems integration services to assist in the rapid installation and rollout of the Hub to new and existing customers.

Aperian, Inc. (Nasdaq:APRN) Previous Close: Up 32% to $1.690 on vol. 295,700 Shares: ACCUMULATE

Aperian, (Nasdaq:APRN) which provides secure and scalable managed Internet service solutions, enabling enterprises to focus on their core competencies, and privately held Fourthstage Technologies announced they are merging to form a single managed and professional services and product integration corporation. Merrill Lynch & Co. forecasts that, industry wide, those value-added services should expand from 15% of Internet infrastructure service revenues today to 45% by 2009.

The cash-and-stock-funded deal builds on Fourthstage Technologies' strengths in the areas of technology integration, next generation applications intellectual property -- allowing the company to move more quickly toward profitability via a variable cost model. Inter-company cost and product synergies will allow for a stepped-up profitability timeline for the combined company. As such, the company will remain on track to meet forward guidance.

Separately, the company acknowledged that FY fourth quarter revenues will not meet management's previous fourth quarter guidance of $5 million. However, management anticipates the combined business should meet previous FY 02 revenue projections. The company expects to report audited financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year on May 15, 2001. Management will host its regularly scheduled earnings teleconference on May 16, 2001.

Merilus Inc. (OTCBB:MERH) Previous Close: Up 2% to $1.05 on vol. 80,100 Shares: ACCUMULATE

Merilus, (OTCBB:MERH) which delivers intelligent products that simplify the process of digital security for organizations connecting to networks, announced that it has signed a distribution and supply agreement with Telecommunications & Security Systems Ltd. ('TSSL') to offer the new Merilus FireCard and Gateway Guardian security products throughout Hong Kong, Macau and the People's Republic of China.

The agreement calls for Merilus to supply its complete range of intelligent digital security products, including its new FireCard series. In addition, Merilus will provide training on its security technologies to TSSL and their value added resellers. Merilus will also work closely with TSSL to deploy its security solutions throughout Greater China, including Hong Kong and Macau.

The Company has also entered into a distribution agreement with Tech Data Canada. Tech Data will become a key distributor of the Gateway Guardian software firewalling products and the new Merilus FireCard and FireCard Plus products. The Merilus FireCard and FireCard Plus are the first products that offer full firewalling functionality and network management tools on a PCI card.

DataWorld Solutions (OTCBB:DWLD) Previous Close: Up 61% to $0.32 on vol. 137,500 Shares: ACCUMULATE

DataWorld (OTCBB:DWLD), a manufacturer and distributor of high performance fiber optic and copper cabling products and a provider of IT professional network services, announced that sales for the 2nd quarter ending December 31, 2000 were at their highest level since installation of the current management team in December 1998. For the second quarter, DataWorld reported that sales increased 21 percent to $3.850 million compared to $3.055 million for the quarter ending December 31, 1999. Gross profits for the quarter were $895,726 compared to $ 890,811 for the second quarter of 1999.

'We are very pleased with DataWorld's second record quarter in a row,' said Daniel McPhee, Chairman and CEO of DataWorld Solutions. McPhee continues, 'However, we feel the Company has yet to tap the market for its true potential. In pursuing revenue and profit growth, we have added products and services to our portfolio that we feel will improve our profitability and revenues. Our goals for the balance of the year are to pursue a consolidation of facilities, increase working capital and explore strategic alternatives and opportunities that may significantly reduce operating costs and increase our corporate efficiency.'

DataWorld Solutions, Inc. is a multi-regional, value-added specialty distributor and manufacturer of electronic cable assemblies used in providing connectivity solutions, which includes systems integration, for customers operating a wide range of data systems. DataWorld adds value by providing connectivity solutions, including distributed sales for passive components such as electronic connectors, electronic wire and cable, cabinets and racks and patch panels, and active components, including hubs, bridges, routers, gateways and modems.

"On the economic front, Dallas Federal Reserve president Robert McTeer predicted in an interview that the U.S. economy will grow close to 1 percent in the first quarter, but might fall into negative territory. Economic news released this Thursday, including the Labor Department's monthly Producer Price Index and retail sales numbers, will yield the next clue about the U.S. economic condition. Last Friday's employment report has many economists jawboning for an inter-meeting rate cut by the Fed, but many still believe the central bank will opt to wait until its next scheduled meeting before taking any action."
