Spoke with IR about things. I was concerned about the delay and wanted to know if the original merger details (see below) had changed. She answered that everything was moving along with the SEC just fine. They expected to hear back 60 days after January 31, so they should now be gearing up to let us know details, timing, etc. soon.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Marketing
Professionals, Inc. (BB: POKR), formerly known as Casino Airlink, today reported terms of its previously announced definitive merger
agreement with Aviation Industries Corporation (BB: AVIA). Under the terms of the agreement, shares of the Company's common stock will be
valued at $.62 per share in determining the share exchange rate. As a result, shares of POKR common stock will be exchanged for one share of Aviation Industries common stock at a rate determined by dividing the average closing price of Aviation Industries common stock (calculated over the ten trading days commencing five trading days prior to the effective date of the merger) by 0.62 (avg. price / 0.62 = number of shares of POKR exchanged per one share of AVIA). Completion of the transaction is subject to the completion of regulatory review by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as approval by shareholders of each company.
As previously reported, Aviation Industries has agreed to reconstitute its Board of Directors to consist the members of the Board of Directors of Integrated Marketing Professionals, as well as Diran Kaloustian, currently Chairman of Aviation Industries.

"We expect this merger," commented William G. Forhan, CEO of Integrated Marketing Professionals, "to greatly facilitate the expansion of our business plan. We look to benefit from Aviation Industries' wide range of travel industry and investment banking relationships." |
