RDI Marketing On-track to Deliver Up to 100 Locations With Pcs Acquisition BLOOMFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 8, 1999--RDI Marketing (OTC BB:RDIM - news) has closed on the first acquisition transaction representing the business interests of Personal Consumer Services, (PCS) with facilities in both Atlanta and Birmingham, Ala. Revenues and net income of PCS, according to the audits in process, were $3,057,000 and $444,487 respectively at year end 12/31/98. Additional revenues, as a result of direct product sales, are in the process of tabulation. The management of PCS will join RDIM in positions pertaining to nationwide product purchasing and the continuing efforts of the Company to acquire additional facility locations. Beginning immediately, the management teams of both Companies will review the technology requirements necessary to administer the new location on a consistent software and hardware platform. Thunderstick Software will accomplish this while integrating the historical membership and manufacturer information into the new database system that is under development for RDIM. The new website launch date announcements will be forthcoming. According to John Folger, President and CEO, RDIM is in current discussions with the owners of up to 10 additional facilities. This initial transaction is the first step by the Company to meet the stated commitment of the business plan for the first quarter of 1999. All other commitments are on schedule to be met. The Company potentially expects, by acquisition or conversion, to operate 100 locations. The additional acquisitions will be incorporated into the continual funding efforts of the Company. The company believes that the quality of management staff that it can add as a result of carefully selected acquisitions will only enhance its capacity to implement its service and growth goals. The expansion of the management team will continue to be necessary as the market plan of RDIM is geographically expanded. In addition, there are several new opportunities under consideration by the Company, which, if consummated, could significantly increase the impact of both the e-commerce technology plan and the number of physical locations.
