Pre-Paid Legal Services confirms SEC inquiry ADA, Okla. (Reuters) - Pre-Paid Legal Services Inc., which develops and markets legal service plans, said Friday the Securities Exchange Comission requested details about its accounting practices. Shares of Pre-Paid Legal Services dropped 15.13 percent, or $2.17, to $12.17 on the New York Stock Exchange, below a previous 52-week low of $14.03. The Ada, Okla.-based company, confirming a Wall Street Journal report, said it was subject to informal SEC inquiries into the nature of accounting for its advances to sales associates. In February, shareholders filed a class action suit against the company charging that comissions paid to sales people were recorded as assets instead of expenses on financial statements. Pre-Paid Legal said it was cooperating with the SEC, the informal proceedings do not constitute an investigation, and it could not predict when the inquiry would be resolved. 10:56 03-16-01

Sorry NetCurrents but this is funny->NetCurrents Announces it Will Put Reverse-Split to a Vote of Company Stockholders BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 16, 2001-- NetCurrents, Inc. (Nasdaq:NTCS), The Premier Internet Intelligence Agency, today announced its intent to file its annual proxy statement with the US Securities & Exchange Commission within the coming week, with subsequent mailing to its shareholders expected to occur in early April following clearance by the SEC. Following negative response to the Company's announced intent to avoid a reverse-split of its common stock and after giving consideration to prevailing market conditions, management has since determined that a reverse-split may be a necessary course of action in order to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 under the continued listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. In accordance with Nasdaq rules and regulations, the Company will have the right to appeal any delisting decision to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, but continued listing is not guaranteed. Company stockholders will have the opportunity to vote on the matter either by submission of the proxy or by attending the scheduled annual stockholder meeting to be held in Beverly Hills on May 17, 2001. Irwin Meyer, Chairman and CEO of NetCurrents, commented, "We are clearly beginning to build momentum at NetCurrents, as illustrated by the numerous developments we've announced over the past several weeks. Despite the volatility of the market, we were hopeful that we would be rewarded with renewed support from Wall Street, thus resulting in the restoration of our common stock price to $1 and returning the Company to compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements. Although we are quite optimistic about the future of NetCurrents - particularly given the solid fundamentals of our technology and the sales responses we are beginning to experience via our channel sales division - management believes that its Nasdaq listing is integral to securing this growth and fundamental to protecting long term shareholder value. Therefore, we will put this to a vote of our shareholders to support management in making this difficult decision." About NetCurrents, Inc.
