November 17 - QuoteMedia Reports 26% Increase in Revenue for Q3 2008; and 33% Increase for Comparative 9 Month Period

QuoteMedia, Inc. (OTCBB: QMCI), a leading provider of market data and financial applications, announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. These results reflect a 30% increase in second quarter revenues, to $1,724,396 from $1,331,405 in the comparative period in 2007. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased 37%, to $3,412,071 from $2,492,105 in the comparative period in 2007. At June 30, 2008 the Company’s cash balance was $463,214, an increase of $105,898 from the balance at December 31, 2007. Net cash provided by operating activities was $377,428 for the six months ended June 30, 2008; this represents an $875,428 increase in cash generated from operations, when compared to the $598,000 that was used in operating activities in the comparative period.

“The significant revenue growth during the quarter resulted from increased sales of our Interactive Content and Data Applications as well as from increased subscriptions to our Quotestream product line,” says Keith Guelpa, president of QuoteMedia, Inc. “This is our 21st consecutive quarter of revenue growth, reflecting the strong continuing market penetration of our full line of financial data products and the increasing depth of our data offerings, which now cover over 70 exchanges worldwide.

“During the second quarter, QuoteMedia continued to build on the revenue growth momentum that has been building since 2007. We furthered our introduction of Quotestream II to the market, the new generation of our portfolio management system, with enhanced features and functionality. The Company also continued its early release of Quotestream Professional. Where Quotestream II is geared towards providing a professional level experience to non-professional users, Quotestream Professional is designed specifically for use by financial services professionals, offering unparalleled functionality at extremely aggressive pricing.

“Our second quarter was also significant in that much of the groundwork was laid for developments that are coming to fruition now. One example is our announcement earlier this week of our enterprise agreement with Penson Worldwide Inc. Penson is a global provider of execution, clearing, custody, settlement and technology infrastructure products to the financial services sector. Under this agreement Penson will integrate QuoteMedia offerings into platforms that it provides to its nearly 300 correspondent financial services firms. As well, Penson will offer its clients Quotestream Pro and Quotestream II. Also, earlier this month we announced that Mr. James Kelly joined the Company. He is a senior sales executive who brings a wealth of knowledge and successful experience to QuoteMedia, particularly in the financial services professional market to which Quotestream Professional is targeted. Mr. Kelly joins Mr. George Katsch in our New York office. Founded on marketing developments such as these and others, and our performance record, we expect that our customer base will continue to expand dramatically and that our trend of strong revenue increases, quarter over quarter, will continue into the foreseeable future.

“We remain focused on our revenue growing strategies,” says Guelpa. “Our plan of operation for the remainder of 2008 continues to focus on marketing Quotestream II for deployments by brokerage firms to their clients, and moving with increasing strength into the investment professional market with Quotestream Professional. We also plan to continue the market penetration of our Data Feed Services, which is a particularly fertile segment of our product line. We will also continue to license our Quotestream Wireless applications and add new data content to expand our line of Interactive Content and Data Applications.”

“As previously forecasted, and consistent with our focus on expansion, we experienced a loss for the quarter of $360,758 compared to a loss of $424,902 in the comparative period. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 we incurred a loss of $715,677 compared to a loss of $796,987 in the comparative period. While we expect that we will continue to incur losses in the short term, we expect our monthly revenues will continue to rise significantly in 2008 and overtake the increased cost commitments that we have undertaken to support our rapid development. Our improvement in gross margin rates to 57% reflects the stabilization of our fixed cost structures while revenues continue to increase. We expect our costs of revenue to continue to reduce as a percentage of revenues generated. We are very pleased with our progress to date, and we believe that we are on target to meet our near and long term objectives,” says Guelpa.

Branding Mastermind Behind Microsoft Windows to Guide Business Development and Growth Strategy for NeXplore Search

NeXplore Corporation (OTC: NXPC) announced the appointment of Rowland Hanson to the NeXplore Corporation board of advisors.

Currently CEO of business strategy consulting firm The HMC Company, Mr. Hanson will draw upon his vast experience building brands and growing market share for some of the world's best known, high-growth companies to guide business development and growth initiatives for NeXplore Search (www.NeXplore.com), an innovative Web 2.0 search engine optimized for a superior end-user experience, rich-media display and social network integration.

Prior to founding The HMC Company, Mr. Hanson served as vice president of corporate communications for Microsoft, where he developed and executed the company's highly acclaimed branding strategy which included the market introduction of Microsoft's most popular product -- a graphical interface that Mr. Hanson named "Windows."

"What excites me about NeXplore Search is that the visually rich user interface engages consumers and, at the same time, reinvigorates an advertising medium that, although proven, is losing its luster as text overload leaves more and more consumers with search fatigue," said Hanson. "NeXplore Search is well-positioned to be at the forefront of the next generation of search, and I am pleased to be involved with NeXplore at such a pivotal moment. I look forward to helping the NeXplore executive team take this product and company to the next level."

"Rowland Hanson brings immense business experience, marketing insight and branding wisdom to NeXplore," said Edward Mandel, CEO of NeXplore Corporation. "His proven track record maps out perfectly with NeXplore's aggressive growth goals. Rowland's guidance will be instrumental as we move forward with strategic initiatives to accelerate popularity of NeXplore Search among consumers and drive traction of NeXplore Search among leading brand and direct-response advertisers. We are thrilled to have a professional of Rowland's caliber and distinction serving on the NeXplore advisory board."

Prior to Microsoft, Mr. Hanson served as vice president of worldwide marketing for Neutrogena Corporation, a skin care and cosmetics company that registered phenomenal growth through new product introductions and global partnering before being acquired by Johnson & Johnson.

Over the last several years, Mr. Hanson served as a consultant, CEO, president, and board of director member for several emerging companies.

Mr. Hanson served as president, CEO, and chairman of Amaze Inc., a multi-media software publisher of popular products such as The Far Side, Trivial Pursuit, Bloom County, and Berlitz theme computer calendars and screen savers. Hanson negotiated the sale of Amaze to Delrina Corporation.

Mr. Hanson was founder, CEO, and Chairman of iTravel Corporation, an exclusive developer of multi-media travel guides for United Airlines, United Vacations, and the travel agency network. Hanson negotiated the successful sale of iTravel to StarPress.

Mr. Hanson was business development consultant, branding consultant, and board member of ColdHeat, a company whose proprietary material science led to the successful introduction of several new consumer small appliances.

Mr. Hanson served as a business development consultant, branding consultant, and board member of The Nautilus Group, the developer and marketer of well-known fitness brands such as Bowflex, Nautilus, Schwinn Fitness, and StairMaster.

Mr. Hanson founded The b EQUAL Company with a mission to strengthen the child/parent bond by creating games that make learning a fun, interactive, family event. The b EQUAL Company partners included A&E (The History Channel / Biography), National Geographic, and DreamWorks, Discovery, among others.

November 17 - Beacon Redevelopment Industrial Corporation Enters Negotiations with Dominion Resources

Beacon Redevelopment Industrial Corporation (OTC: BCND) announced that it entered into negotiations with Dominion Resources, Inc. pertaining to their use, since 1986, of the Westmoreland Glass Factory as a natural gas storage facility and gas well.

In 1954, the former owners of the glass factory in Grapeville, Pennsylvania, signed agreements allowing the predecessor of Dominion Resources to use the property as a gas storage facility and to operate a gas well.

The agreements expired upon sale of the property. Specifically, both agreements state, "In case of sale of part or whole of the premises, this permit shall become null and void." In 1986, Westmoreland Warehouse and Industrial Building, Inc., purchased the Westmoreland Glass Factory, rendering all permits expired.

Upon investigating the natural gas holdings on the facility, Beacon's experts determined that the storage facility and gas well continued to operate unbeknownst to the company. Beacon entered into negotiations with WWIB's successor and acquired an assignment of all prior rights to the use of the property and the gas beginning in 1986 and continuing through the present.

In mid-2008, Beacon contacted Dominion regarding the situation. In September 2008, Beacon sent Dominion a formal demand. In November 2008, Beacon's management began negotiations with Dominion for compensation regarding the apparent use of the property and resources for 22 years, and to determine whether to grant an easement. As the negotiations continue, Beacon's natural gas experts will conduct the research necessary to determine if the compensation is fair to the company's shareholders.

"This is a significant situation that could provide a large capital infusion to Beacon's companies. I look forward to continuing my discussions with Dominion to resolve 22 years of the use of the property and its resources, and to create an agreement that resolves the issues," Beacon's President, Adam Marek, said. The company could not comment further due to the nature of the ongoing negotiations.

November 14 - Diversified Lending Group, Inc. Issues Letter to the Board of Directors of FONAR Corporation

Diversified Lending Group, Inc. has issued the following letter to the Board of Directors of FONAR Corporation (Nasdaq: FONR):

The Board of Directors of FONAR Corporation
110 Marcus Drive
Melville, New York 11747

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We believe that we are the largest shareholder of FONAR. By letter dated October 3, 2008, I submitted a proposal to acquire all of FONAR's capital stock at a significant premium of $5.00 per share and requested the courtesy of a response by October 10. To date, no response has been received. This is inexcusable. Indeed, the premium offered for the Company — in cash and without any financing or diligence contingency — is even more generous now based on the Company's closing stock price of $0.67 per share at the November l3 close.

This offer was made to build on Dr. Damadian's genius in the scientific field. Indeed, once we own all of FONAR's capital stock, we intend on infusing the Company with sufficient capital to move forward with developing its innovative MRI technology so it can be made available nationwide and, soon, worldwide.

It concerns me greatly that FONAR would simply ignore, without any inquiry or investigation, our significant offer. I am also deeply troubled by what I have been hearing and learning regarding the Board's lack of attention to the Company's welfare, its domination and control by one member, Dr. Damadian, and its willingness to tolerate not only waste and mismanagement but a series of related-party transactions that benefit insiders at the direct expense of shareholders. In fact, it seems that although Dr. Damadian is a scientific genius, he lacks any semblance of commercial acumen or principle.

I am now reiterating our offer to purchase all of FONAR's currently-existing capital stock at the cash price of $5.00 per share. This proposal would be effected through a reverse subsidiary merger, which our advisors can negotiate. If another structure is preferable to FONAR, please let me know.

We would be happy to work with the existing management team and to take Dr. Damadian's scientific guidance. To the extent that existing management is not interested in working with us after the transaction closes, we have an experienced management team that could operate the company going forward. Given the Company's silence to date and the upcoming shareholder meeting, we are now making this offer public so that the Company's shareholders are aware of it. This offer will remain open until the close of business on November 24,2008. If we do not have an acceptable response from FONAR by such time, we will consider all appropriate alternatives and I reserve all rights.

Sincerely,

Bruce Friedman

November 14 - Diversified Lending Group, Inc. Issues Letter to the Board of Directors of FONAR Corporation

Freshwater Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: FWTC), exclusive World Wide Distributor for The Watergeeks Laboratories, announces that the Watergeeks Filtered Sports Bottle has been chosen to appear in the high profile Redbook Magazine 2008 holiday gift guide and featured in the segment profiling gifts for the environmentally conscious. Each Christmas, a team of market place and web editors at Hearst Corporation carefully prepare these guides and recommend what in their professional opinion, represent only the best environmentally friendly products for their readers. The Watergeeks Filtered Sports Bottle allows consumers to enjoy clean water on the go at a fraction of the cost of bottled water because chlorine, lead and other contaminants are filtered out of the tap water as they drink.

Beginning today, on the website of the popular Tyra Banks television show, The Water Geeks Filtered Sports Bottle is being featured as part of a luxurious celebrity gift bag. Lucky fans have an opportunity to win the same gift bags that were given to the celebrity participants at the WTT Smash Hits celebrity tennis event hosted by Sir Elton John and Billy Jean King. A Watergeeks Sport Tote Bag, made from 100 percent recycled water bottles and yogurt tubs, was used to provide numerous gift items including The Water geeks Sports bottle. These gift bags were given to Sir Elton John, Billy Jean King, Anna Kournikova, Andy Roddick, Martina Navratilova and other VIP guests at the charity event that raised over $400,000 for the Elton John Aids Foundation and Atlanta Aids Partnership Fund.

The Tyra Banks Show website (www.tyrabanks.com) offers contestants the opportunity to win this exact same "WTT Smash Hits" Charity event tote bag.

Also, in a November 6, 2008 article, The Wall Street Journal called The Watergeeks Filtered Sport bottle "a favourite" among sports bottles they reviewed" saying "The water flowed easily when turned upside down" and that "the hiking version has a soft grip that reduces the strain of squeezing the bottle."

Brent Meikle, Founder and CEO of The Water Geeks Laboratories stated that" While the idea of replacing bottled water with our filtered sports bottle is a new concept for consumers to grasp, once they try the product, they are very satisfied with the results. The respected journalists and celebrities who have already done so, continue to attest to the benefits of our Filtered Sports Bottle."
