|
Great News! Once again it appears to us that IBXG is on a roll.
Please read this new PR and we think that you should gather a Wealth
of Knowledge into the potential of where IBXG is going.
Obviously we believe this is all very positive PR, particularly
this new paragraph that you can find in the PR below:
"This increase combined with several new contracts completed
recently in a variety of medical practices, as well as a strong plan
for all of iBX's divisions, will result in a positive adjustment in
the company's revenue projections. iBX projects MediCompliant?
Solutions will achieve profitability by the third quarter of
- "
Additionally, we also find the next paragraph speaks for
itself:
"In the coming years, HIPAA also will require security
regulations governing access to Protected Health Information and
electronic storage systems; disaster recovery and contingency
planning; specific technical requirements to protect electronic
data; and the appointment of a Security Officer and Privacy Officer
at every medical practice. Conforming to these new regulations will
cost the private and public sectors an estimated $22 billion,
according to the government's own estimates."
So, in our opinion, we guess that IBXG is trying to tell us that
BUSINESS IS EXPLODING AND NEW DEALS ARE PROBABLY FORTHCOMING IN THE
NEAR TERM.
WE ALL HOPE THAT IBXG'S STOCK WILL START TO EXPLODE TO THE UPSIDE
TO CATCH UP TO THE FUNDAMENTALS.
WE STILL BELIEVE THAT IBXG IS GROSSLY UNDERVALUED RIPE FOR A NEAR
TERM MOVE UPWARDS.
Keep a Real Real Real close eye on IBXG NEAR TERM, and as always
Watch This Stock Trade. |

IBX GROUP, INC. PROJECTS HEALTHCARE COMPLIANCE DIVISION
REVENUE TO EXCEED $1.5 MILLION & ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY AS HIPAA
DEADLINE APPROACHES
DEERFIELD BEACH, FL April 4, 2003 - With the
deadline for the most hotly debated portion of the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act quickly approaching, iBX Group,
Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: IBXG), is experiencing a dramatic upsurge
in demand for services offered by its MediCompliant? Solutions
division, a healthcare legal services organization specializing in
HIPAA and Medicare compliance.
IBX, specializing in financial, administrative and technology
services for the healthcare industry, increases revenue projections
for MediCompliant? Solutions to exceed $1.5 million during 2003. This
increase combined with several new contracts completed recently in a
variety of medical practices, as well as a strong plan for all of
iBX's divisions, will result in a positive adjustment in the
company's revenue projections. iBX projects MediCompliant? Solutions
will achieve profitability by the third quarter of 2003.
"By implementing a much targeted sales and marketing plan, we
were able to promote MediCompliant? Solutions to healthcare providers
most in need of compliance services," said Evan R. Brovenick,
President and CEO of iBX. "With several critical HIPAA deadlines on
the horizon, this division is poised for explosive growth during the
next few years."
By April 14, 2003, all healthcare organizations must enact strict
privacy provisions that protect the integrity of so-called Protected
Health Information, including patients' names, addresses, social
security numbers and other identifying information; standardize
certain designated forms and coding for electronic billing; create
written disclosure forms and related paperwork that protect patient
confidentiality; formulate written policies and procedures governing
privacy; and provide training for all staff members, including
physicians, on privacy policies and procedures. Failure to meet
these new standards can result in severe financial penalties and
even criminal sanctions.
"After years of targeting large hospital chains and HMOs,
government regulators are beginning to pursue small medical
practices, and even individual physicians and surgeons," Brovenick
said. "Small practices don't have the luxury of entire departments
devoted to ensuring compliance, so more and more of them are relying
on outside firms like MediCompliant? Solutions to help them avoid
costly and time-consuming government investigations."
In the coming years, HIPAA also will require security regulations
governing access to Protected Health Information and electronic
storage systems; disaster recovery and contingency planning;
specific technical requirements to protect electronic data; and the
appointment of a Security Officer and Privacy Officer at every
medical practice. Conforming to these new regulations will cost the
private and public sectors an estimated $22 billion, according to
the government's own estimates.
Since its establishment as a public company last year, iBX has
aggressively pursued transactions in the most profitable sectors of
the healthcare industry. The company recently announced that its
Florida HealthSource? physical therapy and occupational medicine
division is in the process of finalizing a major acquisition that
will propel the growing network of clinics toward critical mass
within that industry segment.
Based in Deerfield Beach, Florida, iBX Group Inc. develops and
deploys creative, cost-effective methods for integrating financial,
administrative and information services for the healthcare industry.
iBX is a results-oriented company, consisting of five divisions
iBX Technologies, which enables healthcare organizations to
maximize their accounts receivables; Florida HealthSource?, a network
of physical therapy and wellness centers; MediCompliant? Solutions,
which ensures medical practices' compliance with today's complex
legal requirements; iBX Transcription Services, which offers
physicians quick turn-around and Web-accessible progress reports;
NursesSTAT?, a revolutionary temporary staffing solution;
SportshealthNet?.com and TheNetDigest?.com, interactive Web portals
providing patients with comprehensive healthcare information and
advice, and increasing physician referrals.

A penny stock with multi-dollar potential: trading today in the
teens, but in our opinion, has long-term potential for huge gains.
IBXG may be one of next year's BIG surprises, making its current
status as an undiscovered stock a rare timing opportunity for
investors. Don't overlook this one! We not only consider IBXG an
attractive "Emerging Growth Company," in our opinion, but also a
"Value Stock" in view of its revenues and earnings. We believe that
IBXG has targeted a creative niche in a hot sector.
Relative to comparative companies within the Healthcare sector,
IBXG could realize superior growth in business and earnings over the
near-to-intermediate term period. A grouping of comparable companies
within this sector currently trades at an average price to revenues
multiple of 4.79 X. For 2002 it estimated that IBXG should generate
revenues in excess of 3 million dollars, and for 2003 significantly
higher and continue to be profitable. Thus, when applying the
comparative grouping?s price to revenue multiples to IBXG we can
arrive at a relative valuation of $.38 per share over the next 6
months. |

size=2>Conclusion |
|
"Patients want to do more of their medical management from home,
doctors want to provide care quickly and efficiently, and hospitals
and HMO's want to keep costs down," says Jim Gabler, a research
director for GartnerGroup?'s Healthcare Industry Research and
Advisory Services in Stamford, Conn. "All of this relates to
technology, and it's up to CIO's to find a better way. People say
healthcare revolves around doctors and patient care. Well in the
months and years to come, the industry will revolve around
technology and the CIO."
Given this climate in healthcare today, in our opinion, IBXG is
an undervalued opportunity. IBXG is perfectly positioned to meet the
needs of their target market with a strong commitment to their suite
of services.
Aggressive investors looking for above-average return potential
on a portion of their investment capital should give IBXG a serious
look. |
