FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / Neema and Sepideh Announce Joint Merger

LOS ANGELES, CA -- March 15, 2003 -- Neema� and Sepideh/Dawn� formally announce their intentions for a joint merger. This announcement has been breathlessly anticipated by friends and family.

"I love her!" said Neema Aghamohammadi, Neema's CEO adding: "and this is the best decision I've ever made. She's simply the bestest." While burning esfand, he added: "... Our shared culture, musical interests and intrinsic synergies will make for a bright and beautiful future."

"If there is such a thing as a perfect union, this would be it!" commented Dawn Sepideh Mortazavi, Sepideh/Dawn's CEO. She later added "I anticipate nothing but good fortune and a successful future!! Neema's the GREATEST guy ever!!"

The couple feels that the union will make life easier for their friends and family. They anticipate rapid progress towards a formal union date. Final status discussions began privately as early as the fall of 2002. Progress in these talks was delayed by mounting tensions in the Middle East, the poor US economy, Neema's hopeless addiction to "Mac" and an agonizing wait for the release of California bar results.

A formal announcement regarding the union date is expected later this year.
