Monday December 20, 10:08 am ET


DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 20, 2004--PHSL Worldwide, Inc.

Produced by Teddy Communications, Inc., Internext is the world's largest Adult Internet tradeshow. Widely acclaimed as "The Industry Networking Event," Internext is the place for individuals and companies who operate adult websites to form business to business alliances with other sites and / or service providers.

On-demand CRM (Customer Relationship Management) applications are provided to registered independent merchants, typically small and medium sized businesses seeking a cost effective technology platform to outsource non-core banking and finance functions. Since 1996, iBill has established a trusted brand with consumers and online businesses with 27 million customers in 38 countries. In 2003, iBill averaged 1.2 million transactions per month and completed approximately $330.00 million in gross transactions.

Beats me. Last I heard Mark Bell had Penthouse by the balls basically, since he's the owner of all the outstanding bonds.

Well... In March 2004 Penthouse International acquired iBill from InterCept, Inc, then in August 2004 Care Concepts nearly bought 100% of IBill from Penthouse, but it dropped in September due to AMEX. Now IBill is still in Pink Sheets, formerly known as Penthouse International, Inc., portfolio... I think thats the latest official, but who knows what backroom deals have been going on.

Forgot to meantion that Care Concepts terminated their plan on 15th december (which might explain missing payments???) to acquire iBill by January 2005. But again who knows - IBill as usual doesn´t give any information what so ever...

iBill is usually at every show. This is the one show they don't want to be at. And it's the one show they are making a big deal about telling everyone they will be at. Therefore, it can only mean one thing ...

That they definitely won't be at the show!!
