American Digital Communications Inc. Announces Three New Tracks on the TrackPower service
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 1, 1999--American Digital Communications Inc. (OTC BB:ADCM - news) announced today a non-exclusive agreement to broadcast live horseracing from Monmouth Park, Colonial Downs, and Evangeline Downs. These agreements bring the number of tracks available on the system to ten, including some of the nation's largest tracks such as The Meadowlands and Santa Anita Park.

Upon signing, Graham Simmonds, VP and General Manager of ADCM stated, ''We are very pleased that these organizations have chosen TrackPower to distribute their racing product and to broaden their audience. We are on target with our projections thus far, and we are currently in discussions with many other tracks.''

TrackPower is a multi-channel digital satellite television service for horse racing. The TrackPower service allows racing fans to watch full-card simulcasting from premier racetracks in their home or office. TrackPower is offered in conjunction with EchoStar's SkyVista DTH service, which includes over 20 channels of the ''Best of Satellite'' package. This service also includes regular broadcast network signals, one premium channel of HBO, one adult channel of Extasy as well as foreign and niche programming for additional monthly charges.

Monmouth Park has established a reputation as one of thoroughbred racing's top summer racetracks. On-track handle and attendance have risen in the past five years, reversing the national trend, and Monmouth Park continues to be the crown jewel in the New Jersey thoroughbred racing circuit. The meet is highlighted annually by the $1 million Buick Haskell, which in recent years has been won by champions Skip Away, Holy Bull and Serena's Song. Monmouth Park, which originally dates back to 1870, was purchased by the NJSEA in 1985. For more information visit monmouthpark.com.

Colonial Downs' second harness meet will commence on May 31 and conclude on August 4, 1999. The Company will host races on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoons. The thoroughbred meet will run from September 5 through October 10. Colonial Downs Holdings Inc. is a Virginia corporation organized in November 1996 to pursue opportunities for pari-mutuel horse race wagering in Virginia. The Company through its subsidiaries holds the only unlimited licenses to own and operate a pari-mutuel horseracing course and satellite wagering facilities/racing centers in Virginia. Colonial Downs Holdings, Inc. became a publicly held company in March 1997 and trades on the NASDAQ National Market System under the symbol CDWN. For more information visit colonialdowns.com.

Evangeline Downs, Cajun Country's Birthplace of Lil 17 -- September 6 in 1999 and year-round simulcast racing. In November 1988, Evangeline Downs became part of Louisiana racing history by being the sole recipient of the first inter-track wagering signal in the state, simulcasting races from the New Orleans Fair Grounds.

TVI Corporation Completes 1998 Financial Audit and Schedules Annual Meeting
GLENN DALE, Md., June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- TVI Corporation announced Tuesday that its independent auditor had completed the audit of 1998 operations and submitted its final Audit Report.

The Company has scheduled its Annual Meeting of Shareholders for Wednesday, June 30, at 2:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the offices of the company.

The Report indicates company revenue in 1998 of $1,473,445. There was an operating loss of $76,072 and a net loss of $139,800. For 1997, revenue was $1,762,374, operating loss was $100,618 and net loss was $3,634.

Allen Bender, company president, noted that significant progress was made in 1998 in spite of the disappointing numbers. The company's progress and status are detailed in the Form 10-KSB report to be mailed to shareholders and filed with the SEC in about ten days.

Mr. Bender explained that revenues were down slightly due to lower sales of targets and resale equipment. However, both gross margin percentage and gross profit improved in 1998 due to manufacturing efficiencies and better product mix. As noted in a previous press release, the company believes its target market has stabilized at more normal levels.

The company also released unaudited results for the first quarter. Financial results for the quarter ending March 31 of 1999 and 1998 were as follows:

1999 1998

Revenue $352,006 $345,841

Cost of Goods 171,215 256,038

Gross Profit 180,791 89,803

S,G, & A Expense 151,355 166,499

Operating Income (Loss) 29,436 (76,696)

Other Income (Expense) 104,812 00

Interest Expense (7,898) (12,079)

Net Income (Loss) 126,350 (88,775)

The company announced that it had received a $180,000 order for thermal targets from a large Army armor training range. It expects to ship the order during the second quarter.

(OTC BB:NGLD - news), Comercis Signs Commitment to Acquire Netgate Medical, Inc.
Acquisition to Expand Comercis' Business-to-Business Services, Provide Fully Developed Medical Community and International Relationships
SOUTHLAKE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 1, 1999-- Chris Meaux, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comercis (formerly Business Web, Inc.) announced today the signed commitment to acquire Netgate Medical, Inc.

Comercis, which is in the process of merging with NewGold, Inc. (OTC BB:NGLD - news), is the leading business-to-business cyber-community management and development company.

''The planned acquisition of Netgate not only expands Comercis' services to include instant development of intranet and extranet communities,'' said Meaux. ''It provides us with an established community of physicians, providers, insurance carriers and more.''

With Netgate's technology, Comercis will be able to offer members of their vertical trade communities a single source, menu-driven intranet with extranet connectivity. This capability allows members to conduct secure communications for information sharing or commerce 24 hours a day, seven days a week with no networking hardware needed. Providing advanced communications capabilities, such as search engines and broadcast tools, trade communities will be able to communicate with customers, peers and vendors like never before.

''Our unique service was developed with an open architecture that allows universal connectivity and massive modular growth as trade communities expand,'' said Dr. Daniel Hodges, founder of Netgate Medical, Inc. ''This will provide Comercis with the flexibility to service customers as their needs and peer groups grow.''

Comercis provides online trade communities and global business-to-business e-commerce solutions to a number of industries including: natural resources, dental, petrochemical, computer, consumer electronic and automotive. The acquisition of Netgate will add medical to Comercis' list of trade communities. Netgate's online medical community has been developed over three years of finely focused research and development to provide a secure forum for healthcare entities. Currently, the community supports over thirty interdependent healthcare and associated categories that include thousands of networked physicians, pharmacists, therapists, hospitals, insurance providers, pharmaceutical companies, medical suppliers and more.

This trade community links all participants in the medical field -- patients, doctors, hospitals, vendors and manufacturers -- empowering them to service their needs quickly and cost-effectively. Patients can use community search capabilities to find physicians, doctors can share medical files with specialists, surgeons can schedule appointments with patients, hospitals can broadcast equipment needs to vendors and manufacturers anywhere in the world. The possibilities are endless.

With such success in the medical industry, Netgate has increased its scope to include the natural resources industry, as well as establish agreements and relationships internationally.
