**********NEWS************ ADGI Announces Progress on All Fronts March 13, 2000 10:53 AM HICKORY, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2000--American Diversified Group, Inc. ADGI announced today that its activities and involvements are progressing and exceeding expectations. Dr. Jerrold Hinton, President of ADGI stated, "We have a great team, many opportunities and we are excited with the progress we are making with our established strategic plans. We are continuing with the exploration of additional opportunities. We are building the foundation for what we believe to be a very substantial company based on a highly motivated management and technically competent team." We presently have Global staff in Colombia, others just returning from Mexico, others having recently returned from meetings in Israel and Poland. Our local partners in Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela along with others yet to be announced are likewise excited about our mutual opportunities. This coming week there will be meetings in Miami with a full agenda, attending will be our key staff plus consultants for a concentrated focus on our priorities. In this coming week's meetings in Miami, a partial list of agenda items: discussing and reviewing the web site, discussing several potential affiliations, joint ventures and acquisitions, discussing proposals from PR firms, reviewing proposals received for financing and capital infusion, discussing spinning off the pharmaceutical, generic drug business and medical business to its own entity. Private investors have contributed an initial $500,000 and another $1,500,000 has been committed. We intend to initiate a Private Placement within the next 90 days in the $5-10 M range which will allow us to accelerate a ramp up of equipment and services in the targeted countries in South America, Mexico and Eastern Europe. Shares and options in the Private Placement will be registered in an SB-2, which is currently being prepared. The 10-K is being finalized and will be filed on or before May 31st. We intend to announce the 1st Quarter revenues from operations the first week in April. We have been in a tactical operational mode for some 90 days with much of that time dedicated to testing and monitoring our facilities to verify that they are functioning properly. Our first quarter revenues will illustrate substantial progress in our opinion. We have an aggressive 1, 2 and 3 years plan which we are confident are attainable. One of our goals is to become a full NASDAQ qualified company, which we anticipate being possible by the first or second quarter of 2001. The interview with Dr. Hinton by the Wall Street Reporter (wallstreetreporter.com) was well received and has been quoted in several industry presentations. The previous releases issued by the company provide an overview of our activities. We intend to have corporate information available via our web site shortly.
