(OTC Bulletin Board: PUNK ) today announced that on May 25, 2001 the Company voluntarily filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida. The Company intends to utilize the Chapter 11 process to restructure its balance sheet, while continuing to provide service to its business customers and maximizing its comprehensive web hosting services. The Company emphasized that this Chapter 11 filing will not impact day-to-day operations with regard to its employees, customers and general business operations. Richard Goldring, president and chief executive officer of The Internet Advisory Corporation said, "We expect to emerge from the Chapter 11 process with a new balance sheet that has significantly less debt, thereby providing us with more operating flexibility. The Company has a strong customer base and during the restructuring process, we will focus on maximizing the untapped potential of the business community looking for competitive and reliable web hosting services. "Goldring concluded, "While this was a very difficult decision to make, given the current circumstances, we determined that we needed to take decisive action for our customers, shareholders and creditors to maximize the value of our business. We have been building the Company for more than 3 years and we are confident that focusing on the potential of our existing web hosting services, coupled with a more efficient and cost effective organization, will allow The Internet Advisory Corporation to emerge from this process as a stronger company."
