ASGR America Service Group Inc.
America Service Group Inc. (NASDAQ: ASGR), based in Brentwood, Tennessee, is a leading provider of correctional healthcare services in the United States. America Service Group Inc., through its subsidiaries, provides a wide range of managed healthcare and pharmacy programs for approximately 325,000 inmates. The Company employs more than 7,000 medical, professional and administrative staff nationwide. More than 1.9 million adults are incarcerated in prisons and local jails throughout the United States. Medical care expense for these inmates is approximately $4.5 billion per year. The number of inmates has grown at a 5.3% annual compounded rate since 1990. This growth is only expected to continue, due to longer sentences, life without parole, "three strikes" laws, and mandatory sentences for repeat offenders. In addition, the trend in correctional healthcare has been moving steadily towards outsourcing to private healthcare providers. A few reasons for this trend include 20%+ cost savings for new privatizations, experienced managed care operators, compliance and accreditation expertise, and the difficulties of attracting and retaining quality medical personnel. As long as governments continue to feel pressure to control taxes and privatization continues to be successful, the percentage of outsourced correctional healthcare will continue to climb. Currently, about $1.7 billion, or 38%, of the total correctional healthcare market is outsourced - that is, provided by private contractors overseen by the appropriate government agency. As a result, a massive untapped market of $2.8 billion still exists from organizations that may eventually look to privatization as a viable and likely more efficient healthcare option. Approximately $250 million in potential new annual revenues for ASGR may be up for award during the year 2002.

Aspect's premier product - Bispectral Index® (BIS®) technology - became the first clinically proven and commercially available direct measure of the effects of anesthetics and sedatives on the brain. At present an estimated 20 million patients undergo surgery with general anesthesia or deep sedation each year in the United States, and an additional 30 million in Europe and Japan. BIS technology allows medical professionals, for the first time, to reliably gauge the precise amount of drug required by each patient, resulting in better overall patient care and fewer undesirable events. The company's core BIS technology is supported by more than 1000 published studies undertaken to assess its efficacy and utility. BIS technology also has a proven track record in practical application. It has been used to assess more than 6 million patients and is utilized in the operating room (OR), intensive care unit (ICU), and a range of other settings where sedation is given. More than 60 percent of the best hospitals with operating rooms in the U.S (U.S. News and World Report), 53 of the largest 55 U.S. hospitals, and 46 percent of teaching hospitals use BIS technology. In addition, BIS technology is available in more than 160 countries for medical professionals who are committed to using advanced technology to explore new and meaningful ways to improve patient care.

BGEN Biogen, Inc.
BIOGEN... In 1978 a group of internationally acclaimed scientists met in Geneva, Switzerland to create a new biotechnology company. These scientists were leaders in genetic engineering and saw the potential of harnessing the power of human genes to develop novel therapeutics that improve the quality of people's lives. Two of these scientists - Phillip Sharp of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Walter Gilbert of Harvard University - would later receive Nobel Prizes for their work. This initial meeting was the genesis of Biogen. Today, Biogen remains the world's oldest independent biotechnology company. The drive to discover that initially brought these scientists together 25 years ago is stronger than ever. The results are impressive: dedication, compassion and scientific proficiency have fueled the company's robust product pipeline. Biogen's corporate revenues are generated from worldwide sales of AVONEX® (Interferon beta-1a), for treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), and AMEVIVE® (alefacept), for the treatment of adult patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis. In addition, Biogen receives revenues from the worldwide sales by licensees of a number of products, including Schering-Plough's Intron® A (Interferon alfa-2b, recombinant) and hepatitis B vaccines sold by Merck and GlaxoSmithKline. AVONEX is the world's leading treatment for MS with more than 120,000 patients on therapy. With these revenue streams forming a solid financial base, Biogen has built a global operating biotechnology company with the capabilities to research, develop, manufacture and market its own products. A pioneer in leading edge research in immunology, neurobiology and oncology, Biogen brings novel therapies to improve the quality of patients' lives around the world through its global marketing capabilities.

BLGA.OB Blastgard International, Inc.
Blastgard has been created to develop, design, manufacture and market proprietary blast mitigation materials. Patent-pending BlastWrap has proven to effectively mitigate blasts and suppress flash fires resulting from explosions, regardless of the material or compound causing the explosion. This unique technology can be used to create new finished products or designed to retrofit existing products. While the need for this technology has always been present, the security and safety concerns resulting from the September 11th terrorist acts make the timing of BlastGard's emergence even more important. BlastGard's core market focus is blast and fire mitigation for the commercial sector, military, law enforecement and government agencies. Blastwrap is scientifically engineered, designed to remove much or most of the energy from explosions that impinge upon it. BlastWrap works by dissipating blast enery through irreversible processes while at the same time quenching flame fronts or fireballs created as a result of an explosion. When incoporated into finished products, BlastWrap protects in two basic categories: barrier and container. Barriers include temporary and permanent wall units; lining applied to walls, blast tables, suspended ceiling panels, suspended free standing or floor mounted barriers, and molecular barrier or revetment kits. Containers embrace everything fron boxes to magazines, including wheeled mobile storage units in which explosives can be safely moved to one work station or site to another. BlastWrap dissipates the most energy when used as part of an assemly or container around an explosive item, such as a bomb or missile. In addition, BlastWrap effectively acts as a shield or barrier to provide protection for personnel or structures in a specific location. Because BlastWrap is so easily customized, it can be used in retrofit to work with existing products or designed to create finished products for numerous applications across all industries. BlastWrap can also be adapted to perform in the side range of applications and environments where explosion can occur.

IGT is a world leading supplier of microprocessor based gaming devices and electronically linked wide area networks of gaming devices called MegaJackpot&8482; systems. In addition to conventional sales revenue derived from the outright sale of gaming machines, the company earns recurring revenue on an ongoing basis from each machine operating on a MegaJackpot&8482; system. This revenue is directly proportional to the level of play, as measured by the daily ”coin-in’ generated by each machine. In the past, periods of less-robust economic activity have led to the expansion of legal gaming as states look to new sources of revenue to remedy fiscal shortfalls. In the early 1990÷s, this led to the legalization of gaming in Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and Indiana. Currently, several states are once again considering such a move which, if implemented, could greatly expand the market for IGT÷s products. Meanwhile an excellent array of new games for 2002, and growing acceptance of ticket-in/ticket-out technology continue to stimulate replacement demand. Most of the existing domestic installed base of gaming machines, approximately 600,000, will not readily support this new technology which is a proven solution to the ”pay-out’ side of the casino coin handling problem.
