Dec 15, 2008 -- All Line, Inc., (PINKSHEETS: ALIN), a company engaged in telecommunications, multimedia, and IT development today announced that on December 12, 2008 the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire a ten percent ownership in Chinese Media Group Corporation (CMGC), a company focused on providing multi-media contents to overseas Chinese, which has the potential to reach an enterprise value of more than $300 million in the next three to five years.

According to the agreement, All Line agrees to pay CMGC $1,000,000 in cash and 15,000,000 shares of All Line restricted stock for the initial 10% stake in CMGC. The transaction is scheduled to close on or before February 13, 2009. All Line also has an option to acquire another 41% of CMGC in the future on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to both parties.

The acquisition of CMGC is part of All Line's new initiative to own interests in select Asian multi-media businesses that have potential for sustainable growth with a goal to eventually consolidate highly successful ones under a new All Line's Asian multimedia division in the future.

Allen Wu, Chairman of East Media Holdings (EMHI) which owns the majority of CMGC, stated: "With Chinese Americans representing the largest Asian-American group in the U.S., one and half billion Chinese-speaking population in Greater China and throughout ASEAN and beyond, we expect to witness exciting developments going forward and the potential to reach an enterprise value of $300 million or more for CMGC in the next three to five years."

Won Jai Chang, President of All Line, concurred: "We are very excited about the definitive agreement with Chinese Media Group. This fits well with All Line's new initiative to own interests in select Asian multi-media businesses that have potential for high growth and we believe this will increase the market value of our company."

Dec 15, 2008 -- Avantair, Inc. (OTCBB: AAIR | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) (OTCBB: AAIRU | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) (OTCBB: AAIRW) ("the Company"), the only publicly traded stand-alone fractional operator and the sole North American provider of fractional shares in the Piaggio Avanti P.180 aircraft, announced today that it has taken delivery of its 50th Piaggio Avanti P.180 aircraft.

"This milestone delivery for the Avantair fractional program clearly highlights the ongoing demand for our services and the confidence our customer base has in the Piaggio Avanti P.180 aircraft," commented Steven Santo, Chief Executive Officer of Avantair. "Piaggio produces the lowest cost and most fuel-efficient aircraft in the Light Jet category, which enables us to best meet the needs of our customers and retain our competitive advantage. As we continue to capture greater market share, we look forward to the further expansion of our fleet and the continuation of our successful relationship with Piaggio."

This delivery is in-line with Avantair's steady fleet expansion since the Company was founded in July of 2003. Today, Avantair operates the youngest fleet in the fractional aircraft industry, at approximately 3.7 years, according to the JetNet Fractional Ownership and Aircraft Report.

The Piaggio Avanti P.180 is the world's fastest turboprop, rivaling the speed of most light cabin jets, while offering the cabin cross section of a super mid-size aircraft. Furthermore, at approximately one third of its major competitors, Avantair maintains the lowest fuel surcharge in the industry. Combined with its absence of hourly fees and significantly lower annual operating costs, Avantair offers customers upwards of 45% yearly cost savings over the competition.

The Company offers private travel solutions for individuals and businesses traveling within its service area, which includes the continental United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico, at a fraction of the cost of whole aircraft ownership.

Dec 15, 2008 -- Clear Choice Health Plans, Inc. (OTCBB: CCHN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) said today it has rejected an unsolicited proposal from Agate Resources, a privately-owned company based in Eugene, Ore., to acquire Clear Choice through a stock swap with a newly formed entity. Under the Agate proposal, Clear Choice would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the newly formed entity.

Clear Choice said that Agate's characterization of its proposal to the public as a "partnership" between the two companies is inaccurate and misleading. Under the Agate proposal, on a net book value basis the Agate shareholders would receive stock in the newly formed entity that reflects a 38% premium and the Clear Choice shareholders would receive a 38% discount. Moreover, the newly formed entity would be controlled by representatives selected by Agate Resources, which is headquartered in Eugene.

Jerry Andres, chairman of the board of Clear Choice, said, "We are not surprised that Agate has expressed interest in our company and recognizes the strength of its balance sheet, geographic diversity and dominant market position in Central Oregon. However, we believe Agate is clearly not a fit for Clear Choice, nor would the proposed transaction be in the best interests of our shareholders.

"Clear Choice management has strategically balanced and diversified the company's portfolio of business among Oregon Health Plan, Medicare Advantage and a growing line of commercial products," Andres said. "Agate's nearly singular focus on Oregon Health Plan business would expose our shareholders to the significantly greater risk and vulnerability that is inherent in too high a concentration in one business sector. Moreover, we believe the real motive behind Agate's proposal is to get access to our cash and liquid assets in order to fund their expansion into Central Oregon and obtain a commercial product line."

Patricia Gibford, CEO and president of Clear Choice, added, "While Agate has portrayed its proposal as a 'partnership' between the two companies, it is really nothing more than an attempted takeover of Clear Choice at grossly inadequate consideration that would harm our shareholders and adversely impact our business."
