HEATHROW, Fla., Feb. 26, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Weight Loss Forever International, Inc. (WLFI) announced it has been selected to participate in the "OTCBB market Leaders" investor relations program. The program is sponsored by the Wall-Street.com, division of National Corporate Services, Inc., a leading investor relations firm. The ensuing publicity is expected to bring broad national exposure for WLFI through numerous ad placements in financial publications, in print and on the Internet.
Tim Murray, Director of WLFI Corporate Communications, said, "We are proud that WLFI qualified for this elite group by ranking in the top 15% of all OTCBB traded companies." Through the WallStreet.com program, WLFI will be showcased in "Barron's" and "Red Herring" and will be included for six months in the featured "Leaders" section at http://www.OTCBBLEADERS.com. "We've had numerous recent company events that no doubt greatly assisted in our qualification and participation," Murray concluded.
Formed in 1999, WLFI has just completed critical changes to its senior management and corporate financing structure. In recent months, WLFI company franchisees have opened four new locations, added two new premium quality product lines, and engaged in a co-venture with Tammy Phillips Fitness Boot Camps(R). The company has also created a new division, Beverly Hills Nutritional Systems(R), to market its "nutrimart" concept and is re-organizing www.BeverlyHillsWeightLoss.com into an information and e-commerce center.
OTCBBLEADERS.com is owned and operated by Wall-Street.com, a division of National Corporate Services, Inc. (NCS). Wall-Street.com screens companies traded on the OTCBB to determine the top 15% that should be considered market leaders. Companies that pass the screens are: 1) reporting to the SEC; 2) making an effort to comply with applicable portions of Sarbanes-Oxley; 3) an active company -- having a product or service or are actively developing one; and 4) experiencing corporate events that should be of interest to prospective investors. Companies who meet these qualifications are then invited to participate.
Weight Loss Forever International is a Franchise Management Company currently operating 44 clinics under four brands, Weight Loss Forever(R), Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness(R), Beverly Hills Nutritional Services(R) and Tammy Phillips Fitness(R). WLFI has implemented an expansion strategy based on six key areas: franchising, master area developers, co-venturing, e commerce promotion and marketing, acquisitions, and increasing clinic revenues. Increasing investor awareness of WLFI activities and opportunities is a critical part of this strategy.
