Lansing, MI, January 22, 2003 (The Digest)
Auxer Gets Kick
 

The Auxer Group, Inc. (OTCBB: AXGI) announced new business developments within its aviation and telecommunications segments.

Auxer has commenced acquisition negotiations with Kick Communications of New York. Kick Communications is an international provider of long distance telephone services. The Reliance Group, India's largest sector enterprise and one of the 500 largest enterprises in the world is one of Kick partner's.

Mr. Scott, Auxer's Chairman stated, "We had been looking at Auxer's dormant telecommunication segment when Kick Communications was introduced to us as a potential purchaser of some of our telecommunications assets. During our initial conversations, we discussed our aviation plan and subsequently the Kick principals have made proposals for Viva to offer flight services to India. The discussions of a potential acquisition of Kick just naturally ensued. Kick currently has gross operating revenues in excess of $20 million and has staged joint venture arrangements and partnerships that may bring in another $80 million of revenue during 2003. The telecommunications industry has certainly been beaten down but we believe many outstanding opportunities are available to participate in the industry."
