The following item will be published Monday morning at wbn.com announcing a soon to be available institutional analysis:

* Premier Laser (PLSAE NASDAQ): In the Final Analysis It's
the Big Idea That Counts and the Products Behind It

WBN is in the final stages of activating an Institutional
Analysis of Premier Laser at WBN-PLSAE. This has been about as rocky
a story over the past six months as you'd want to know as will be
detailed in the report. The stock continues to be restricted from
trading by NASDAQ but we expect the ban to be lifted shortly.
In the final analysis it will be the big idea -- the paradigm shift
to laser technology in dentistry -- and the products behind that idea
that will determine the future of the company and the stock. Wbn.com Daily will announce when the full report is ready for viewing. Meanwhile, a summation:

"Premier is a big investment idea driven by a paradigm shift underway
in dental technology. It is the leader in the application of lasers to
dentistry which WBN estimates will become the technology of choice for
10% of U.S. dentists within three years requiring equipment purchases
of several hundreds of $millions and for 30% of U.S. dentists within 5
to 7 years. WBN projects the Company will maintain a minimum 60%
share of a $200mm market over the next three years, dropping to 30-40%
over the succeeding three years as industry sales expand to $500mm+
annually and competition enters the market as is inevitable.

"Since 1991 the Company has developed more than 20 lasers encompassing
9 wavelengths. Important innovations are the first laser to replace
the dental drill, the first diode laser in dentistry, the first laser
for cataract emulsification, the first Erbium:YAG for ablation of skin
and the first laser in clinical trials for tissue molding. Lasers are
now used by dentists for four classes of procedures: (1) hard tissue
(teeth), (2) soft tissue (gums), (3) light-curing of composite
material for fillings, and (4) teeth whitening."
