Banyan Announces Filing of SEC Form 10-SB
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 1999--Banyan Corporation
(OTC BB:BANY - news) announces that earlier today it filed a Form 10-SB registration and
disclosure statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Once this filing is declared ''effective,'' Banyan will be required to file periodical reports with the SEC as required by Section
12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will be in full compliance with the SEC's new disclosure
requirements for publicly traded companies as mandated by the SEC on Jan. 4, 1999.
Cameron Yost, Banyan's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, ''Today's filing with the SEC marks a major milestone for
Banyan as a publicly traded company. Everything about our company -- past, present and future -- is now public information.
While it has been a long road for us to reach this level of maturity, it is one that opens many new doors to various opportunities. In
addition, today's filing should eliminate everyone's concerns over whether or not Banyan will be able to retain its OTC Bulletin
Board listing when the SEC starts delisting non-compliant companies later this year.''
Banyan Corporation is a publicly traded holding company focused on investing in and building a network of operating subsidiaries
engaged in designing, manufacturing and marketing products and services aimed at the personal computer market, the notebook

Banyan currently sells a line of hard-sided protective carrying cases for notebook computers under the DoubleCase brand name
and controls 26% of Anything Internet Corporation. Banyan's products are currently available through distribution from Ingram
Micro and sold through a wide variety of Internet e-commerce storefronts, computer mail order catalogs, several of the largest
