SAN ANTONIO, July 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Reversing a 7-year history of consistent quarterly losses averaging $150,000 per quarter, Senticore's (OTC:SNIO) (BULLETIN BOARD: SNIO) new management team announces that its net profit for the quarter ending June 30, 2006 will exceed $500,000. "We are a Business Development Company, or BDC," explained Gilbert R. Kaats, Senticore's CEO, "and our profit is calculated based on increases in the company's net assets from the portfolio companies it acquires. If the value of one of our portfolio companies increases, our net profit increases, providing the increase is not offset with a corresponding increase in liabilities," Kaats pointed out. The main source of the net profit for this quarter was an increase in the value of the shares of Taj Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets: TJSS), one of Senticore's portfolio companies that trades on the Pink Sheets under TJSS. The increase in assets that led to the profit does not include Integrative Health Technologies, Inc.'s (IHT) assets which were acquired in the merger. The company's June 13, 2006 press release estimated that IHT's assets could have a value in excess of $7,800,000. "However," Kaats said, "in that June release we also cautioned against using this value for IHT's assets until an independent audit is completed later this quarter. We have excluded these assets from our calculation of profits," added Kaats. The announcement follows on the heels of the company's June 27, 2006 announcement declaring its first dividend ever for all shareholders of record as of June 30, 2006. The June announcement also reported that "The amount and timing of the dividend will be based on funds derived from sale of its 882,353 shares in AdZone Research, Inc ... " However, when calculating the amount of dividend to be provided to each shareholder, we found some restricted certificates that were issued for acquisitions that were abandoned and never consummated. Since the holders of these certificates have yet to return their certificates, we are taking aggressive actions to have them returned or cancelled to avoid paying dividends to shareholders who are not entitled to receive them.
