PennyVictory wishes to bring KAIRE HOLDING INC. to your attention.
VITAPLANET.COM a e-commerce subsidiary of KAIRE HOLDING INC. is scheduled
to launch a revision of it's e-commerce site, vitaplanet.com on
NOV.15th at 7am est geared to attract more customers and generate more
profitibility. This has been long anticipated and short-covering should be
expected to occur on regular basis next week, as well as Position
investors buying it up and when it picks up steam Momentum players. Keep
an eye out for a good entry point, the stock ran from .06 to .08 the last
two days with the site opening on the 15th, a whole week away from this
Monday, profit taking from inpatient Momentum players reacting on the news
that came out on the 4th, could send this back to .07 or a tad lower on
Monday or Tuesday if panic occurs, which would make an excellent entry
point. This is a potential well rewarding play but is quite RISKY and need
good nerved investors, if you are one chalk it up on your watchlist, and
pay careful attention.
What is KAIRE HOLDING INC. and VITAPLANET.COM?
Kaire Holdings' tiny bubbles won't carry you away, but they will show how
the blood gets along in your little doggie. The company (formerly
Interactive Medical Technologies) makes E-Z Trac Ultrasphere and NuFlow
fluorescent microspheres, which measure regional blood flow in animals.
Sold by Kaire's E-Z Trac subsidiary (VITAPLANET.COM) and by two
distributors, the non-radioactive colored microspheres are used by
pharmaceutical companies, academic research centers, and hospitals that
perform experimental drug or surgical procedure studies. Customers include
Texas A&M, SmithKline Beecham, and Hospital du Sacre Coeur de Montreal.
Kaire also provides associated laboratory work. (from Hoovers)
RICHMARK CAPITAL CORPORATION initiated coverage of KAHI with a BUY rating
and a 18 month target of $2.15. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Don't ask me LOL
never heard of RickMark Capital but whoever they are they are they are
very bullish on KAHI.
KAHI will report their Earnings for the year in December, last year they
had 300,000 in Sales which was a 63.5% increase over 1997, with 12.2 mil
in Income, numbers this year should be dramatically better with the
incredible increase in Drug-oriented purchasing done over the internet by
consumers, and with the new VITAPLANET.COM site.

Enclosed are sections of RichMark Capital Corporations Coverage of KAHI
for any interested. We are initiating coverage of KAIRE Holdings, Inc. at a
Buy rating for Aggressive Growth investors, with an 18-month price objective
of $2.10. The Company, with headquarters in North Hollywood, California has
scheduled a launch of its redesigned online pharmacy at www. vitaplanet. corn
for late 1999.
· Vitaplanet's brand identity will be positioned within the online healthcare
arena, specifically targeting the senior citizen and baby boomer online
shopper demographic. Online health commerce sites, online health content
sites and vertical healthcare portals have ramped up over the past several
months, by Internet "pure-play" and traditional "brick-and-mortar" players.
Vitaplanet is planning to join these early movers on the new online healthc
are playing field.
· Along with engineering the new strategic, online business model for
Vitaplanet, KAIRE Holdings has successfully attracted top executive talent to
extend and implement the Vitaplanet plan. The Company has named David
Kazarian as President and Senior Strategist of Vitaplanet Online Drug Store
and Pharmacy Group. Mr. Kazarian brings value-add to the table with his
experience and contacts in the pharmacy industry. He has recently served as
President of the 7,000-member American Society of Consultant Pharmacists
(ASCP), and has contributed to the recent high-level health care debate
within Congress and the Administration.

Our investment thesis holds that KAIRE Holdings has chosen the correct
strategic path, focusing on unlocking the potential value inherent in its
Vitaplanet subsidiary. We believe the Company's Web site, www.vitaplanet.com,
may become a successful player on the highly competitive consumer Internet
drugstore playing field, as it positions itself for the senior citizen and
baby boomer market.
The Company is building up the infrastructure of Vitaplanet.com and, in
addition, has recently installed a long-time key player within the
pharmaceutical industry, David Kazarian, as President and Senior Strategist
of Vitaplanet Online Drug Store and Pharmacy Group.
We believe the Company may be properly valued by investors approximately in
line with valuations presently held by other consumer online pharmacies,
online health content sites, healthcare portals, online grocers and other
online retail stores that offer consumer drugstore products such as
medicines, vitamins, and health and personal care products. The "Valuation"
section of this report addresses comparative valuations of KAIRE Holdings'
Vitaplanet consumer products business with other participants in the online
consumer healthcare industry.
On February 19, 1998, Kaire Holdings, Incorporated changed its name from
Interactive Medical Technologies, Ltd., changed its NASDAQ OTC BBS symbol to
"KAHI" from "NONI" and reverse split its Common Stock at a ratio of seventy-
five (75) to one (1). On or about April 19, 1999, the Company introduced its
internet e- commerce website www.vitaplanet.com.
Vitaplanet.com Strategy
The Company's Web site, at www.vitaplanet.com, has no operating history
prior to April 1999. The Company is a new entrant onto the highly competitive
Internet playing field.
KAIRE Holdings' planned, strategic approach to the challenge of Internet
commerce involves identifying specific demographic groups as customers within
narrow, vertical product and service categories. KAIRE Holdings may develop
several different Web sites to serve as sales and distribution channels for
the various vertical categories and demographic groups it may identify.
Depending upon specific categories, KAIRE Holdings may operate
business-to-consumer and/or business-to-business c-commerce models.
The Company's first piece in its Internet strategy is the planned launch of
the updated, redesigned online pharmacy at www.vitaplanet.com in late 1999,
targeting seniors and baby boomers.
The new strategic plan for Vitaplanet.com calls for a three-channel revenue
model.
Consumer Products Center. One revenue center will be Vitaplanet's consumer
products center. This section of Vitaplanet.com's Web site will offer drug
store products such as prescription drugs, nonprescription or
over-the-counter (OTC) medications, vitamins, nutritional and herbal
products, skin and body care goods, and fitness and exercise equipment,
including videos and books.
Regulation of interstate sales and distribution of prescription drugs
(telemedicine) is administered at the Federal level by the Drug Enforcement
Agency (DEA). In addition, each of the fifty states has its own
pharmaceutical sales regulations and each state administers the rules at its
own level.
Drugstores such as Vitaplanet that transact interstate sales over the
Internet, as well as drugstores executing interstate business through mail
order catalogs, must carefully comply with DEA rules as well as separate
regulations of all fifty states.
According to recent DEA rulings, it is now legal for doctors to place orders
to pharmacists over the Internet. Generally speaking, rulings at the state
level do not allow interstate commerce in prescription drugs. Vitaplanet's
solution to the regulatory challenge at the state level is to build a
nationwide network of participating pharmacists. If the Company can sign to
its network at least one pharmacist in each of the fifty states then
Vitaplanet can fully execute its business plan.
A customer who lives in, for example, Washington state will visit, or be
visited by, their hometown doctor and be prescribed a medication by that
doctor. Instead of going next to a pharmacy to stand in line and pick up the
prescription, the customer may go online, to vitaplanet.com and place an
order for the prescription. In this scenario, the customer may place the
order anywhere they have wireline or wireless Internet access - from home,
from work, or while traveling.
Vitaplanet's host server is physically located in the state of California,
but will forward the order to a participating pharmacist in Washington state.
The Washington state pharmacist may either hold the completed order for the
customer to pick up or mail it within state to the customer.
For bed-ridden, chronically ill patients, placing orders through Vitaplanet
and receiving the orders via mail will be a convenient way for them (and
their caregivers) to stay current with their necessary supplies of prescribed
medications. Other customers who do not have time to wait in drug stores for
prescriptions to be filled can place orders online, then pick up the
completed orders at participating pharmacists, at their convenience.
The Company is targeting being fully operable as a nationwide 24/7 (24 hours
a day, 7 days a week) online pharmacy during late 1999. Of course, the
Internet is a global communications and commerce medium, not just national,
but the Company is focused on complying with all pharmacy sales and
distribution regulations within the United States. Vitaplanet is presently in
the process of building its national network of participating pharmacists.
Interactive Services Center. Vitaplanet.com's second revenue stream will be
subscription-based, derived from providing interactive services to
subscribing members.
This section of Vitaplanet's Web site will be accessed by paid subscribers,
each with their own user name and password. Upon entry into the interactive
services center, a member will be able to engage in real time 24/7 online
chat with other members or with standby pharmacists.
Inside the interactive services center, a small pop-up window will appear to
provide the subscriber with a menu of names from which they may select to
chat with. If a standby pharmacist is selected, then a pop-up window appears
on that pharmacist's screen showing the subscriber's medical profile. Topics
of conversation during a chat may be recorded by a pharma.'cist on the
profile, so other pharmacists in subsequent chat sessions may be more fully
knowledgeable about the subscriber.
Basic information about the subscriber in the profile will include age,
height, weight, prescription and OTC medication history, disease and
condition history, and other medical history and personal information that is
typically contained in a medical profile.
According to Vitaplanet, the online pharmacists will be Certified Geriatric
Consultant Pharmacists (CGCP). CGCP are specially trained to take into
account complex interrelationships between senior diseases and conditions,
nutrition, medications and other variables. With access to the subscriber's
profile, the CGCP will be able to provide valuable information to an
emergency medical service, institution or other medical caregiver if need be.
Vitaplanet's CGCP pharmacists are slated to provide a wide range of primary
care services online, over the phone or via fax, and through the nationwide
network of participating pharmacists in local, hometown drug stores. Services
may include pharmacokinetic (the process by which a drug is absorbed,
distributed, metabolized and eliminated by the body) dosing services,
intravenous services (intraveneous pharmaceuticals will be available through
the Vitaplanet distribution system), nutrition assessment and support, and
pain management services.
Business-to-business (B2B) subscribers may also be provided with access to
the interactive services center. For example, subscribing pharmacy benefit
management (PBM) companies may be provided with access to consumers' medical
profiles. (Pharmacy benefit managers have arisen to respond to specialized
needs within the managed care industry. PBMs administer the prescription
benefits for clients that are HMOs/PPOs, insurance carriers, local and state
governments, employers, union trusts and other health plans. These clients in
turn serve the needs of the millions of individual covered lives who are
members of the health plans.)
Consumers' safekeeping of their personal privacy over the Internet, which is
a public network, is a topic that needs to be addressed. We believe the
Company will have to provide strong, clear assurance to consumers that data
from medical records provided over the Internet to PBMs, CGCPs and other
authorized users will remain secure from unauthorized viewers.
Vitaplanet is targeting the interactive services section of the Web site to
be fully built and operational at some point after the launch of the
redesigned, updated consumer products center. The interactive services center
may be branded as the VitaSenior Health Care Network.
Since the interactive services center is a work in progress at the present
time and is not as near to completion as the consumer products center, we
will not include it in our valuation of the Company at this time. Future,
potential subscription fee revenue derived from both consumers and businesses
such as PBMs will be a space to watch as the Company grows int9 its total
plan.
Health Care Resouree Center. Vitaplanet.com's third revenue channel is
projected to be its health care resource center. While providing health care
information and links to health care resources at no cost to visitors at this
Section of the Web site, the Company is planning to receive advertising
revenue from participants in the health care industry such as insurance
companies.
Within the health care resource center, a visitor may follow links, or
"VitaLinks," to insurance companies, senior centers, veteran centers, drug
and health libraries, hospitals, doctor clinics, school nurse offices, health
maintenance organizations, medical professional organizations, and other
medical and health care resources.
Some of these participants within the health care industry may provide
revenue or other benefits to the Company through their purchasing of banner
advertising at the Vitaplanet site, or through other means such as
sponsorships, barter arrangements, alliances and/or partnerships.
At the health resource center, visitors will have no-cost access to a tool
that checks drug interactions. This is a database that checks for adverse
interaction among two or more medications, or single medications that may
interact adversely with conditions in the body. While other online healthcare
sites offer similar services, Vitaplanet is hoping to go a step beyond. A
drug interaction database is basically a two-dimensional relational database
(that is, it has rows and columns). Vitaplanet is planning to "lay on top" of
that a patient's medical profile and daily medical condition, creating a type
of "three-dimensional" database.
The Company will ramp up this section of the Vitaplanet Web site after
introduction of the other two sections, the consumer products center and the
interactive services center. While the Company is in the early stage of
planning and building this section of its Web site, we will watch this space
and not include potential revenue from it in our valuation of the Company at
this time.
Executive Leadership
In addition to planning, redesigning and building the pieces to the
Vitaplanet Web site, KAIRE Holdings has not neglected the executive
leadership factor. We believe the Company has acquired a major asset in the
person of David Kazarian, RPh, FAS CD. Mr. Kazarian has recently signed on as
President and Senior Strategist of Vitaplanet Online Drug Store and Pharmacy
Group.
David Kazarian has participated within the pharmaceutical industry during the
past two decades in leadership roles with high-visibility. Most recently he
has served as President of the 7,000-member American Society of Consultant
Pharmacists (AS CP), and President of Infuserve America, Inc.
Mr. Kazarian has played a highly visible role in the national healthcare
reform debate, serving on ASCP's political action committee and an ASCP
Medicare task force. His participation in the high-level legislative and
political debates being carried on within Congress and the Administration
brings valuable leadership experience and contacts to the table. In addition,
he has demonstrated leadership and relationship-building skills within the
pharmaceutical industry as evidenced by his being elected President of ASCP
by 7,000 of his professional peers.
KAJRE Holdings has added a valuable piece to its entire strategic picture by
acquiring the high caliber of executive leadership, in the person of David
Kazari an. The professional experience and relationships he brings to the
table cannot be duplicated and should be considered in qualitatively
evaluating the Company.
Consumer Online Shopping
As the tidal wave of businesses that provide products, services, content, and
advertising messages over the Internet grows, consumers have likewise
responded by increasing their online spending in all categories. We expect
these trends to continue in the foreseeable future.
eMarketer has consolidated different online shopping estimates from half a
dozen market research firms. Estimates from these firms for year 2000
consumer online shopping revenues, worldwide, range from $10 million to $26.8
million.
IntelliQuest Research estimates that 70% of the U.S. online population (age
16 and older) has made purchases online during a recent three month period.
According to IntelliQuest, this represents 56 million adults who have
recently shopped over the Internet.
Jupiter Communications reported that during the 1998 holiday season, in the
months of November and December, 44% of U.S. households that had Internet
access shopped online. (This report did not differentiate "shoppers" and
"buyers.") According to Jupiter, these online shoppers spent $3.14 billion
during the two months.
According to ZD Market Intelligence, 32 million U.S. adults used the Internet
to shop for items to buy during the 1998 holiday season. Out of these 32
million "shoppers," 8.2 million actually transacted their purchases over the
Internet, triple the number that did so during the 1997 holiday season. The
shoppers that did not buy online used the internet to gather information to
help make holiday purchase decisions.
The 1998 holiday season will be remembered, when Internet history is written,
as the season that online shopping among mainstream, retail consumers took
off. Since the numbers of buyers in 1998 were triple those of 1997 (according
to ZD), it will be interesting to see if the number in 1999 is triple (or
more than triple or less than triple) the number in 1998.
As a new entrant into the Internet commerce space, the Company may benefit as
consumers continue to increase their shopping online.
B2B Internet Commerce
Business-to-business (commonly called "B2B") Internet commerce involves
selling to other businesses rather than to end-user customers. According to
Forrester Research, U.S. B2B sales on the Internet totaled $43 billion in
1998.
Forrester estimates U.S. B2B sales over the Internet to increase to $1.3
trillion in 2003. This approximates an annual doubling, or annual growth rate
of 100%, over the next five years. In a similar study, The Yankee Group
offered its estimates of U.S. B2B online sales at $138 billion for 1999, and
$541 billion for 2003. This represents an annual growth rate of 40% over the
four years.
We would expect the Company to participate in and benefit from the trend of
growing B2B online sales.
Oulook for Online Shopping
Internet commerce continues to look healthy going forward, with more retail
and business customers becoming comfortable with the online sales model, and
transacting more purchases online. As the online revenue pie grows, it
benefits all participants such as the Company.
We are recommending KAIRE Holdings, Inc., for Aggressive Growth investors,
with a Buy rating, and an 18-month price target of $2.10. As is commonly
understood within securities analysis, the investor suitability rating of
"Aggressive Growth" means the security carries a high-risk profile on
fundamentals and/or displays significant high volatility in terms of price
pyriormance, and investment in the security may result in the substantial
loss of the initial investment and therefore may not be appropriate for all
accounts.
