S.W, LATEST NEWS: Stock100.com predicts over $13.00... or a 30%+ rise for ZSUN stock in the coming 5 days, which appears quite plausible: stock100.com and type in ZSUN... Here is a RE-CAP: The stock moved from $7.20 to $11.25 in a few days when there was a general call for the physical delivery of the Shares Certificates in an effort to break the Deadlock. While the stock settled back to just over $10.00, it is believed that the short position has now been somewhat reduced. The market will probably remain controlled around this level until a bevy of Bullish news come out: filing of 10SB Form, latest Business developments, and release of the earnings for the first 6 months of 1999, all of it expected on or before 27th July. After filing of the 10SB, I anticipate professional coverage of the stock by one of the Brokerage that have been accumulating it all along, to begin. Six months earnings are expected to be in the $3 to $4 Millions range, compared to $1.15 Million for the whole of 1998. For the whole of 1999, my estimate is a range of $9 to 10 Millions. I estimate that earnings of 32 cents per share for 1999 are quite feasible, giving a potential price range of $30.00 to $40.00 by end of 1999, using a PE of 100. PCNTF, in a comparable class has a PE of 200. I should point out that the foregoing is the personal opinion of a biased long in the stock and that extensive Due Diligence is strongly advised. Regards, F. Goelo + + +

LA MUSIC AWARDS signs with USVO... L. A. MUSIC AWARDS SIGNS WITH USA VIDEO INTERACTIVE FOR WEB BROADCAST OF CEREMONIES Merging Rivers Media to Produce Broadcast SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA—July 8, 1999—The Los Angeles Music Awards (www.lamusicawards.com) has signed a Letter of Intent with Merging Rivers Media, a subsidiary of USA Video Interactive system (NASD: USVO; ASE: US; www.usvo.com), to produce a web broadcast of its 9th Annual L. A. Music Awards ceremony being held at Hollywood's House of Blues on November 15 and the Inaugural Presentation of Gazzarri's Honors on November 4. USA Video Interactive, through its Merging Rivers Media subsidiary, will videotape, digitize and compress the event using its Wavelet compression technology, and will host it on the Internet, accessible from a link on the L. A. Music Awards website. Upon successful demonstration of the USA Video Interactive technology to L. A. Music Award officers, the Letter of Intent will move to a contract with terms and conditions to be negotiated. "I anticipate a huge response from a global community of music lovers who are eager to see original music and musicians on the medium they feel increasingly comfortable using," said Alfred C. Bowman, Founder and Executive Producer of the L. A. Music Awards. "The Internet is increasingly the medium of choice for accessing new and exciting musical talent. Future developments in convergence technology will establish the L. A. Music Awards place in the TV industry of the future." The L. A. Music Awards is a nine-year-old media event, founded in 1990. The first presentation, December 17, 1991 was held at the Mardi Gras Club in Long Beach, California, bringing together established and emerging musicians, as well as other individuals in the music industry. Since the first show, the popularity and stature of the annual event has grown considerably. This year, the L. A. Music Awards will expand to introduce the 1st Annual Gazzarri Honors event, named after the legendary rock promoter and club owner, Bill Gazzarri. The Gazzarri Honors recognizes venues, producers, journalists and others on the periphery of actual music making. That event will be held November 4 at the original Gazzarri's on Sunset Strip, now called the Key Club. On Monday, November 15, the ninth annual L. A. Music Awards event will be presented at the House of Blues-Hollywood, on the Sunset Strip. The Master of Ceremonies for the 1999 L. A. Music Awards will be Jeff "Skunk" Baxter of Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan fame, last year's winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award, and an announced candidate for Congress from the state of California. The 1999 Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Paul Rogers of Bad Company and The Firm, best known for hits like " All Right Now" and "Can't Get Enough of Your Love." "We are excited to help the L. A. Music Awards move from TV-only broadcast into hyperspace… reaching a global audience on the world wide web," said Rafael O. Quezada, president of Merging River Media. "It's what our technology is made for and this development is in line with our strategy to bring music video of the future to the Internet today." The USA Video Interactive system will host the broadcast on its NT-based servers from SeaChange International (Nasdaq: SEAC; www.schange.com) which are being installed on the UUNET Internet network. UUNET (www.uu.net) is an MCI WorldCom Company (NASDAQ: WCOM). USA Video Interactive is an international designer and supplier of high-tech Video-on-Demand™ systems, services and solutions. The USA Video Interactive technology allows users to view streaming video or to access digitized video libraries, including movies, sports, other entertainment, educational resources, corporate training seminars and other archives. The USA Video Interactive technology gives users full-motion video; the unique flexibility of standard, VCR-like controls of play, fast forward, reverse and pause; and the convenience of a standard internet-browser format for access. USA Video Interactive can utilize MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 compression techniques but prefers its Wavelet compression technology. The USA Video Interactive Wavelet technology allows direct streaming and download and play options; provides video images significantly faster and at a higher degree of resolution than with previously available methods; significantly overcomes bandwidth restrictions; and eliminates the blockiness and slowness of current technologies, all at a lower cost. An essential feature of the USA Video Interactive technology is that it allows extremely high compression ratios while retaining broadcast quality.

SW: ABYT released important news this morning! Alpha Bytes Strategic Alliance With Envoy-NEIC To Link H-NET(R) With Insurance Companies in 50 States NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y., July 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Alpha Bytes, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ABYT) today announced a strategic alliance with Envoy- NEIC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quintiles Transnational Corp. (Nasdaq:QTRN), that will link Alpha Bytes(R) H-NET(R)Internet-based transaction network with healthcare insurance providers in all 50 states. Under the initial terms of the agreement, Envoy-NEIC will intake health care claims from H-NET(R) for Medicare, Medicaid, Champus, Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The agreement positions Alpha Bytes as an early leader in implementing a fully functional global e-commerce transaction strategy for the healthcare industry. The anticipated start date for the agreement is September when the Envoy system will be actively linked to Alpha-Bytes(R) Internet-based practice management system. This significantly reduces development time for H-NET(R) and allows a more rapid active deployment of insurance companies in processing health insurance claims. When fully implemented, H-NET(R) will handle claims for the vision care industry as well as the broader healthcare industries. Alpha Bytes President and CEO Anton Stephens said, "While initially implementing H-NET(R) to take advantage of our dominance in the vision care market, we are rapidly evolving into a global health care community channel due to our technological lead in making full use of the Internet's capabilities. We not only have the ability to efficiently process health care claims from the broader healthcare market, but we are now seeing additional opportunities with various medical associations and groups. "In the meantime," Stephens said, "I am pleased that Alpha Bytes remains profitable despite our sizable investment in building H-NET(R) and that we have been able to launch our service without having to replace any legacy systems or rewrite outdated software." Envoy is the largest electronic clearinghouse for commercial healthcare claims and is a leader in the pharmacy claim business. Envoy processes more than 1 billion electronic healthcare transactions year. The company has created a variety of healthcare-related data services including eligibility and referral inquiries, rosters and encounter information for the managed care industry. The company has access to more than 550 commercial, Medicare, Medicaid and Blue Cross/Blue Shield payors. Alpha Bytes is emerging as an early leader in executing a global e-commerce transaction strategy for the healthcare industry. With a streamlined network and a strong existing international customer base in the vision care market, Alpha Bytes is making significant R&D investments to facilitate a rapid deployment of H-NET(R) to as many users as quickly as possible. The relationship with the alliance partners Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE: CPQ) is designed to assure the company of the most powerful solution for an Internet based transaction network that will set the standard of excellence in the healthcare industry.
