CORPORATE INVESTOR BRIEF

HIGHLIGHTS

Synopsis

UCounsel Corp. is a new Internet technology company that focuses on developing comprehensive online mental health and wellness products, services and information. UCounsel formally commenced operations nine months ago after over two years of planning and development by Dr. Robert Wilson, the company's founder and CEO. UCounsel's mission is to become the premier internet destination for mental health and wellness products, services and information.

Mental Health & Wellness Courses Online Interactive Multimedia

UCounsel is developing unique, interactive, multimedia courses that are designed to affect positive and practical behavioral and lifestyle changes. Each course integrates text, video, animation and voice to provide individuals with an entertaining state-of-the-art experience that rests on a sound scientific foundation.

Professional Counseling Online Real-time Private Secure

UCounsel offers online professional counseling in a unique, secure chat-room environment. The Company has established a strategic relationship with an international psychological health & management consulting firm, Wilson Banwell & Associates Ltd.; this firm is a Preferred Service Provider (PSP) and is ultimately responsible for providing direct (i.e., "face-to-face") clinical services required to support the company's chat rooms and courses.

Boutique & Resource Center Wellness Products Resource Directory Health Guide

The UCounsel Web site also offers a Boutique for purchasing mental health and wellness-related products and a Resource Center that provides an extensive Resource Directory (contact information on institutions, agencies and practitioners) as well as a Health Guide (information on specific health and mental health issues).

Health Risk Assessment & Psychology News Radio Interviews Expert commentary Professional guidance

UCounsel offers individuals online access to a comprehensive Health Risk Assessment instrument, as well as to archived episodes of its weekly Psychology News Radio program.

Mission

The Company will become the premier destination for Internet users seeking mental healthcare products, services and information. UCounsel's intention is to build deep, long-term relationships with its customers and offer them the tools to make informed decisions about their lifestyle and health and wellness wherever they have access to the Internet.

Target Market Business-to-Business Business-to-Consumers

UCounsel provides the technological infrastructure and educational content for utilization by providers of mental health and wellness products and services. These providers include healthcare insurers and the institutions that typically administer and manage benefit plans such as Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO's), Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO's), Point of Service plans (POS's), Medicare & Medicaid plans, and Employee Assistance firms. They also include individual professional practitioners (e.g., physicians, psychiatrists & psychologists). Collectively, this group constitutes UCounsel's institutional (i.e., Business-to-Business) client base. The company's secondary market consists of the casual Web surfer market and individuals that have exceeded their health benefit coverage for mental health services and are required to pay for these services themselves. This group constitutes the company's surfer (i.e. Business-to-Consumer) client base.

Process

Individuals with health benefit coverage (i.e., clients of the institutions noted above) can log onto the UCounsel Web site and choose from the options available to them as determined by their respective health plans. Surfer clients, after entering the site, may be directed to a particular product or service once their primary interest and readiness for change is identified. UCounsel has developed a proprietary assessment tool that determines particular interests and readiness for change. This way, clients are not subjected to an overwhelming number of health issues through which they have to navigate before finding what they really need.

Quality Assurance Professional Providers Professional & Ethical Standards

All of UCounsel's Internet programs and services are supported by professionals (e.g., psychologists and psychiatrists) and associated professional organizations that also offer traditional face-to-face delivered services. UCounsel's products and services are not intended to replace traditional forms of counseling, but are designed to add a new dimension and value to the professional, traditional provider and to benefit the client for whom formal counseling may be inappropriate or unnecessary.
