  MIAMI, Florida and ATLANTA, Georgia, June 13, 2003 - "It simply doesn't make sense for many undervalued small-cap companies to stay public in today's financial markets," investment banker James Cassel, president of Miami-based Capitalink, L.C., told senior corporate executives of public companies and other business leaders from throughout the country at a major national conference in Atlanta.
  
  "The fact is that in the past 18 months, far more companies have gone private than have gone public," he added.Mr. Cassel, who heads one of the nation's top-ranked investment banking firms, was a principal speaker at the "Public-To-Private" conference, held at Atlanta's CNN Center.
  
  "It's clear that this going private pattern will continue even in the face of recent stock gains," he pointed out, "as small-caps have remained substantially undervalued.Many small- and mid-cap companies are finding that the advantages of going private outweigh the benefits of being publicly traded in view of the burdens placed on public companies in terms of high legal and accounting costs, investor relations and SEC expenses, added regulatory pressures - especially since Sarbanes-Oxley - and increased disclosure requirements."
  
  Topics covered at the conference ranged from "What Makes A Good Public To Private Candidate?"and "Comparing The Costs Of Being Public To Going Private" to "Legal Issues Of Going Private Transactions."Mr. Cassel spoke on "Challenges Faced By The Financial Advisor And The Independent Board Of Directors In Going Private Transactions."
  
  In addition to Mr. Cassel, other principal speakers at the conference included professionals from prominent financial advisory and law firms.Among the firms represented were Deloitte & Touche LLP, Duff & Phelps, Fox Paine, Inc., Suntrust Robinson Humphrey, and O'Melveny & Myers.
  
  As president of Capitalink and in his previous positions, Mr. Cassel has gained national recognition for his extensive experience in executing a broad scope of transactions including going private transactions, mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; corporate and transactional financing, including venture capital, mezzanine and conventional financing; public offerings, private placements and financial restructurings.
