Exemplar International, Inc. Consolidates Consulting Operations

Business Wire - Wednesday, June 13, 2001 - Sarasota, Florida June 13, 2001 (Business Wire) -Exemplar International, Inc. (formerly Healthcomp Evaluation Services Corporation) (Pink Sheets: HCEV), a national provider of healthcare data management and occupational health services, announced today that industrial hygiene consulting services currently offered through its Indianapolis, Indiana and Greensboro, Chapel Hill and Charlotte, North Carolina offices will be consolidated in the Company's Indianapolis location. In addition, the Company announced that the safety consulting services business headquartered in Chapel Hill will be closed.

Exemplar acquired these consulting services businesses as part of its acquisition of the Preventive Services Division ("PSD") of U.S. HealthWorks, Inc. that was completed late last year. PSD provides mobile audiometric and respiratory testing services, industrial hygiene and safety consulting and data processing and health evaluation services to a national client base. This is the latest phase of the Company's consolidation and integration of these businesses with its existing operations and will affect 20 employees, primarily in the Company's North Carolina offices.

Martin Clegg, Exemplar's Chief Executive Officer stated, "This integration of the Company's consulting businesses is based on the growth and profitability potential we see for Industrial Hygiene Consulting Services, the central location from which we can better serve our national customer base and the high caliber of staff at our Indianapolis office. We believe strongly in the growth potential of our Industrial Hygiene Consulting business line; however, our core business will continue to focus on information services and data management, mobile medical and substance abuse screening programs and clinic network management."
