WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 17, 2001

ThermoElastic Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:TMRO) Previous Close: Up 9% to .24 on volume of 179,400 Shares ATTRACTIVE

ThermoElastic Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:TMRO) just announced that it has now acquired the exclusive marketing, distribution, and sales rights to DISIFIN R OIL CLEAN 2000 for the United States and Canada, in addition to the DISIFIN R products acquired earlier this year from the Three G Group.

With this in mind, CRG feels that TMRO will be trading over the $2.00 mark in the short term. TMRO is new to TheSUBWAY.com, and we are expecting to see great things from the company in the near future.

TMRO expects OIL CLEAN 2000 to require minimal regulatory demands, to be quickly brought to market and, based on European sales of 3,000,000 DM in its first year of distribution, to add significantly to both revenue and profit starting in 2001.

TMRO also recently announced its goal to become a leader in the supply of products which will capture substantial market shares in the medical, dental and industrial use of its new, revolutionary and patented thermo elastic BITEM PRODUCT LINE and its newly acquired exclusive rights to the market, sales and distribution of DISIFIN R Disinfectant Tablets and Cleaning Products.

ThermoElastic Technologies, Inc. just received 86 requests for BITEM DENTAL PRODUCT dealerships from a total of 40 different countries, including the USA, Japan, Korea, Germany, the Czech Republic, South Africa, Italy, England, Hong Kong, Thailand, India, Switzerland, Indonesia, Holland, Spain, Israel and France.

Saba (Nasdaq:SABA) Previous Close: Up 32% to $6.09 on vol. 756,400 Shares: ACCUMULATE

MediaX Corporation (OTCBB:MXMX) Previous Close: Up 28% to $0.86 on vol. 967,800 Shares: ATTRACTIVE

MediaX Corp. (OTCBB:MXMX), a leading Internet technology developer, design studio and entertainment destination network, announced that it will launch amuZnet 3.0 (AZ3) on Tuesday, April 17. The groundbreaking third incarnation of MediaX's flagship music and entertainment destination -- located as always at Website://www.amuZnet.com -- was one-and-a-half years in the making, and now the Company's team of cream-of-the-crop engineers and artists are finally ready to reveal their work to the critical eyes of the public.

The Company stresses that the release of AZ3 is not simply a site redesign, rather it is a complete rewrite based on MediaX's own proprietary site-design technology, Media Intelligence Platform 3.0 (MIP3). MediaX predicts that the site's innovative and unparalleled offerings will draw in even more music enthusiasts, who will join amuZnet's current roster of 1.3 million registered users.

amuZnet 3.0 is the most technologically advanced incarnation of the destination thus far, and it is possibly the most customizable site on the Web, from a hosting as well as a visitor point of view. The new design includes a major upgrade of both the back- and front-ends of amuZnet and takes full advantage of the Web's potential for user interactivity. AZ3 allows site visitors to design the look, feel and content of the site and determine which kind of information they want to receive, to an extent previously unknown to online music and entertainment fans.

Mainspring (Nasdaq:MSPR) Previous Close: Up 24% to $2.30 on vol. 277,800 Shares: HOLD

As the future role, capabilities, and strategic importance of 'public' industry exchanges has not yet been clearly defined, many companies are now looking to proactively reduce operating costs and increase value to their trade customers via private exchanges. The ability to engage strategic retail accounts in true collaborative commerce will be a fundamental cornerstone of sustained success.

Mainspring (Nasdaq:MSPR) Helps CPG Companies Deliver Near-Term Value to Trade Partners and Enhance Revenues and Profits for Both Manufacturers and Retailers 'E-enabling trade customer relationships is among the most important strategic issues facing consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies today,' according to Ming Tsai, senior vice president and general manager of Mainspring's Retail and Consumer Goods practice.

Mainspring is a leading strategy consulting firm that partners with Global 2000 companies to develop and commercialize digital business strategies. Mainspring helps Global 2000 companies develop profitable online and offline business strategies by exploiting new markets, new business models and new technologies. With expertise in four vertical areas, Mainspring works with clients in Financial Services; Retail and Consumer Goods; Technology, Communications, and Media; and Industrial and Life Sciences.

Halifax International, Inc., (OTCBB:HFAX) Previous Close: Up 19% to $0.593 on vol. 146,900 Shares: ATTRACTIVE

Halifax (OTCBB:HFAX) announced that it has issued common stock at a price of USD 2.50/share in the form of private placements. Strategic investors in this round include a large Asian conglomerate. The stock sale will fund Halifax's expansion toward its goal of becoming 'the dominant provider of prepaid products' to its target market of more than 30-million Americans who do not have a checking account and do not have a credit card.

'This ensures our successful expansion in the US market and also keeps our plans on track for future growth in the Asian markets,' says Phil Lundquist, Halifax Chairman. 'We see our investors willingness to pay a premium price for our stock as a positive reflection of both our business plan and our execution of that plan,' says Lundquist.

Halifax also announced the acquisition of WTI Advantage Products, Inc. has been completed. WTI is a national distributor of POS terminals, headquartered in Novato, CA. With this acquisition Halifax International, Inc. enters the operating phase of its business plan to develop for the 30 million unbanked pre-paid stored value products. Halifax International, Inc. seeks to capture, as described in an earlier press release, these 'New Americans' who are in need of many financial products and services. Halifax will generate revenues from pre-paid cash services including phone cards, wireless cards, dial-tone, paging service, payroll cards, electronic money transfers, and transaction commission.

"Defensive stocks showed some strength in Monday's session, with investors bidding up chemical stocks, pharmaceutical shares and consumer goods companies with funds cleared from the technology sector. Investors were faced with the latest batch of earnings reports and a downgrade of chipmakers Intel and Xilinx from Morgan Stanley, citing weakening demand for semiconductors. The rest of the week will be a busy one for earnings reports; with about half of the 30 Dow companies reporting their results by the end of the week, including technology bellwethers Intel and Microsoft."
