To: Investor Clouseau (332 ) From: Wayne Rumball Wednesday, Oct 27 1999 8:27AM ET Reply # of 342 No hype, no bull, just the facts; LOS ANGELES, Oct 27, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Wednesday, October 27, is the first day of a 30-day period during which Meridian Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MEHO) will be featured on the Internet at a web site called NOHYPENOBULL.com (www.nohypenobull.com), an Internet site dedicated to helping small cap companies become better known in the investment community. Meridian's Capnet division recently announced the release of Version 5.0 of "The Mirage Systems Internet-based Healthcare Transaction Management Software Program," a cross-platform (Microsoft and Macintosh) program. Under a joint development agreement with Intercare Diagnostics, Inc. (a Microsoft Developer Network member), Meridian holds an exclusive license to use the software program to conduct and manage healthcare transactions over the Internet, including but not limited to claims and encounter data submission, eligibility verifications, outcome analysis and drug utilization reports. Capnet recently renewed its contracts with the County of Los Angeles-Department of Health Services Community Health Plan to provide services relating to healthcare transactions and management for the Health Plan's contracted members, through Capnet's network of affiliated physicians, hospitals and other ancillary service providers within the greater Los Angeles County. According to George Speranza, who founded NOHYPENOBULL.com earlier this year, Meridian is one of only a handful of companies that will be featured throughout the year on his web site, which intends to profile one small-cap a month, with visitors to the site encouraged to conduct their own due diligence. "This is my web site, and I make the rules. One of those rules is I don't recommend stocks, I just help publicize them with information only," says Speranza, whose site boasts a large Internet following. Speranza recognizes that looking for information on a small-cap company can be somewhat frustrating. "It's a lot like looking for a needle in a haystack. I, therefore, consider it a public service to at least be a haystack." He also believes that through heightened exposure, small-cap companies will become more responsive to the needs of the investing public. NOHYPENOBULL.com serves as a portal to other investor-friendly web sites and also offers free real-time quotes to visitors who subscribe to the service at no cost. About NOHYPENOBULL.com Founded in April 1999, NOHYPENOBULL.com is a privately owned and operated web site featuring undervalued and underfollowed small-cap and micro-cap companies.
