BW1454 JAN 04,1999 13:58 PACIFIC 16:58 EASTERN ( BW)(LCS-GOLF)(LCSG)(DRIV) LCS Golf Ends Talks to be Acquired by Securities Resolution Advisors Business Editors NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 4, 1999-- Company Will File to Become Fully Reporting On Its Own LCS GOLF (OTC BB:LCSG) announced today that it has ended talks to be acquired by Securities Resolution Advisors (OTC BB:SRAD). After fully reviewing and exploring its options to expeditiously and cost effectively become a fully reporting company, LCS Golf has concluded and been advised by counsel that it will be able to so independently. The company has determined that the appropriate method to become fully reporting is through the filing and subsequent approval of the Form # 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On December 29, 1998, LCS Golf announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to be acquired by Securities Resolution Advisors. The objective was to expedite and more cost effectively allow LCS Golf to become a fully reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Commenting on the decision to become fully reporting on its own, LCS Golf President and CEO Dr. Michael Mitchell stated, "Our attorney's have advised us that we can become fully reporting in a similar time frame and cost effective manner on our own. As such, it is our objective to become a fully reporting company within 90-days. I cannot emphasize strongly enough that our paramount objective is to maximize shareholder value. Being a fully reporting company will give us a significant amount of added credibility within the investment community. Now I can comfortably say that we will be able to complete this task by ourselves."

The company is currently negotiating a series of additional acquisitions which are intended to be synergistic in nature.
