02/28/03 MAJOR OVERALL BUSINESS SOLUTION
PLAN PROPOSED FOR E-REX SITUATION
Miami, FL, and Alameda, CA --(QUICK RELEASE
NEWS WIRE)--February 28, 2003-- A major Overall Business
Solution Plan for the E-Rex (OTCBB: EREX) situation has
been recently developed and proposed by SageGroup Strategies
with input from various other key involvees. E-Rex is a
troubled publicly-held Miami-based company that is under
investigation and/or attack by several governmental agencies,
media, angry shareholder groups, law firms, and others.
SageGroup is an international firm that specializes in helping
troubled companies get out of trouble; it is the largest
Professional Troubled-Company Specialist firm in the country
and world, with over forty offices in the USA plus various
foreign affiliations.
"The Overall Plan is focused on doing
what is in the best interests of the E-Rex company itself
and all of its shareholders, not individual officers, directors,
shareholders, or other persons," stated Larry Lindsey,
a SageGroup top-level Managing Director and SageGroup's
Project Manager for this situation. "This has been
SageGroup's focus from the beginning of the Firm's involvement
in this terrible situation. It has been very sad to see
so much of E-Rex's time and resources being instead used
to try to fight the outside shareholders, the governmental
and law firm investigations, etc.
"Conversely, the Overall Plan is an
effective way for the E-Rex company to concentrate on getting
back onto its feet and moving forward in the best interests
of the Company and all of its shareholders," Mr. Lindsey
continued. "This is obviously what the officers, directors,
and shareholders want, of course, plus is a way for the
officers and directors to try to meet their legal fiduciary
responsibilities plus demonstrate that they are focused
on the Company's best interests."
The E-Rex Overall Business Solution Plan
has several key parts, including:
A) The company E-Rex needs to concentrate on trying to resolve
its four main business problems. There has long been general
agreement as to what these problems are, and now immediate
steps must be taken to resolve them. These key problems
have been discussed by Lindsey with several key persons,
including: a) Carl Dilley, E-Rex's CEO (in 2001, but have
not been resolved by E-Rex's current officers and directors);
b) Rubin Sanchez, attorney representing E-Rex in a long
phone discussion earlier this month; c) Kevin DeGraw, attorney
representing various outside E-Rex shareholders; d) Chris
Ford and several other outside E-Rex shareholders; and e)
certain troubled-company specialists. The four key problems
are: 1) E-Rex's need for major financing; 2) E-Rex's need
for a credible strong management team; 3) E-Rex's need to
complete the long-promised long-delayed product development;
4) E-Rex's need for a management team that is not under
major investigation and/or attack by the governmental agencies,
media, angry shareholders, and others.
B) A new strong credible management team
must be formed at once. The acting CEO should be a three-person
Overall Management Council which can focus on E-Rex's turnaround
and best interests. Two of these persons should be objective
persons who have not been E-Rex officers/directors or members
of the angry outside shareholder groups. The third person
should be a current E-Rex officer/director if he can find
time not needed for the various governmental and media investigations
and potential actions, the lawsuits, etc. Conceptually,
E-Rex's CEO Carl Dilley would be the best candidate. However,
all three current E-Rex officers and directors are currently
caught up in various serious problems, with just one example
being that all three -- Dilley, Don Mitchell, and Joe Pacheco
-- (and probably various of their relatives and associates)
are expected to be giving depositions beginning in March
as defendants in the Florida Circuit Court case where the
judge has already awarded a summary judgment against Mitchell's
International Investment Banking, Inc. evidently-shut-down
company.
C) The Overall Management Council will immediately
work on getting E-Rex the "Eight Key Ingredients of
a Successful Company", which are: 1) adequate financing;
2) a good product or service; 3) strong strategic planning
in all functional areas; and 4-8) experienced quality management
in five key areas: 4) general management; 5) marketing and
sales; 6) operations and production; 7) industry and technology;
and 8) the six support functions of financing, financial,
accounting, legal, corporate development, and administration.
D) The Overall Management Council will immediately
work on having E-Rex move through the "Six Key Steps
to Successful Financing", which are: 1) Have a good
product or service; 2) Have the company have a strong credible
management team and corporate entity attractive for financing;
3) Package the company with financing materials attractive
for financing; 4) Professionally present the company to
the appropriate targeted sources of financing; 5) Determine
the acceptable terms; and 6) Receive the financing.
E) The Overall Management Council will focus
directly on the ideal business solution to move the company
E-Rex forward. The Council will not be distracted by or
involved in the various investigations, lawsuits, shareholder
attacks, secret testimony by former insider associates,
settlement discussions, and other problems of the current
officers and directors. Nor will the Council focus on whether
this has been a Hyena Pack Scheme or similar fraudulent
situation. Nor will the Council focus on recent supposed
questionable actions by E-Rex management, such as the recent
unsigned registered letter and other items sent to the Bank
of America and various Carol J. Gamble Trust beneficiaries
in unsuccessful attempts to turn them against the Successor
Trustee Chris Ford. These matters will ultimately be resolved,
probably by legal actions. The Council needs to instead
focus on getting E-Rex out of its terrible
troubles and moving forward.
F) Various other related elements.
The E-Rex Overall Business Solution Plan
has now been proposed, and it is being discussed by many
persons and other entities involved in this situation. It
is anticipated that the Plan could be approved by the E-Rex
management team and the major E-Rex shareholders within
several days since the Plan is obviously in the best interests
of the company E-Rex and all of its shareholders as a group.
