On September 20, 2004 the Company received written notice from the Staff of the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) that the Company did not satisfy certain AMEX continued listing standards set forth in the AMEX Company Guide and is therefore subject to delisting from the AMEX. By agreeing to rescind the closing of the Acquisition, unless and until the Company has satisfactorily resolved listing eligibility issues and receives and necessary AMEX approvals related to the Acquisition, AMEX has agreed to withdraw its notice of intent to delist. The Company intends to use its best efforts to resolve all issues with the AMEX.

There can be no assurance that the Acquisition will be approved by the AMEX or that the Company will be able to list its securities on an alternate stock exchange.

Care Concepts I, Inc. Rescinds the iBill Closing and Delays Acquisition

Friday September 24, 3:00 pm ET

POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 24, 2004--Care Concepts I, Inc. (AMEX:IBD - News) announced here today that it has rescinded the closing of its acquisition of Media Billing Company, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary Internet Billing Company LLC ("iBill") that was purchased from Penthouse International, Inc. in August 2004. On September 20, 2004, the Company received a notice from the AMEX of its intention to de-list the Company's Common Stock from trading on the exchange, pending a hearing requested by the Company. By agreeing to rescind the closing of the iBill acquisition unless and until the Company has satisfactorily resolved all listing eligibility issues and receives all necessary AMEX approvals related to the iBill transaction, the staff of the AMEX has agreed to withdraw its notice of intent to de-list the Co mpany's securities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfactorily resolve all listing issues or that it will receive all such AMEX approvals associated with the iBill transaction.

The notice from the staff provides that in the opinion of the staff the Company was not in compliance with applicable continued listing standards as follows:

1. The Company has not fully furnished information requested by the Exchange related to the acquisition of Media Billing Company, LLC (iBill);

2. The Company's acquisition of iBill raises public interest concerns pursuant to Section 1003(f)(iii);

3. The Company has issued or authorized its transfer agent to issue additional shares of its common stock without the Exchange's approval;

4. The Company issued 20% or more of its currently outstanding shares of common stock without obtaining prior approval of its shareholders;

5. The disclosure in the Company's 8-KA dated September 2, 2004 regarding the number of shares of common stock issued to Penthouse in the iBill acquisition contained material omissions and inconsistencies, and;

6. The Company completed an acquisition, the net effect of which was that the Company was acquired by an unlisted company and the Company did not provide adequate information to the staff for it to determine whether the post transaction company meets the initial listing standards as required by Section 341 of the Company Guide

The Company intends to furnish the information on a timely basis and is hopeful that the staff of the AMEX will, upon receipt and review of such information, provide all necessary approvals for the iBill acquisition to be completed. If for any reason, however, that AMEX approval has not been obtained by January 21, 2005, the Company will nevertheless close the acquisition, withdraw from the AMEX and seek to re-list its common stock on an alternate stock exchange.

The Company's common stock was halted for trading on Tuesday, September 21, 2004. The management of the Company believes that there may have been a disclosure of certain material non-public information concerning the above-referenced letter.





In commenting on the restructure of the iBill acquisition, Gary Spaniak, Jr., the Company's President stated, "It is the Company's clear objective to resolve with the AMEX all issues relating to the iBill acquisition and to permit the continued trading of its stock on the AMEX for the benefit of its shareholders." Mr. Spaniak also stated that the Company intends to engage a compliance officer with respect to the corporate governance operation of the Company and in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. The stock is expected to resume trading Monday morning on the American Stock Exchange.
