December 26 - Sentra Consulting Corp. Announces Acquisition of Karat Platinum LLC

Sentra Consulting Corp. (OTCBB: SCNU) announced the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of Karat Platinum LLC, a New York limited liability company which manufactures and sells platinum alloy and platinum jewelry. Sentra issued an aggregate of 30 million shares of common stock to acquire Karat Platinum from its members, or 90.4% of the issued and outstanding share capital. As a result of the acquisition, Karat Platinum became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sentra.

David Neuberg, one of the founders of Karat Platinum and its newly appointed CEO and a Director of Sentra, commented, "Our relationship with Sentra gives us the opportunity to realize the full potential of our revolutionary new platinum alloy. As a subsidiary of a public company, we enhance our credibility and leverage when dealing with both suppliers and customers."

Karat Platinum, co-holders of a patent pending for the manufacture of a platinum alloy containing 58.5% platinum and 41.5% cobalt and copper, claims the new alloy, referred to as 14 Karat Platinum(r), has certain properties that make it superior to the 95% platinum used in the jewelry industry today. These include lower cost, improved castability, and greater durability.

"This new platinum alloy is considered to be one of the most significant innovations in the jewelry industry in the past one hundred years," states Philip Septimus, Chairman of Sentra Consulting. "We believe that marketplace acceptance of 14 Karat Platinum(r) will follow the same path as the popularity of 14 Karat gold which now dominates the jewelry market."

(NASD: NYER) announced that it has reached agreement with the minority shareholders of its subsidiary, D.A.W., Inc. d/b/a Eaton Apothecary to acquire the remaining 20% interest in the pharmacy chain in fulfillment of Nyer's obligation pursuant to a 1996 shareholder agreement.

By agreeing to a series of transactions, the minority shareholders will immediately assume management of Nyer and will control approximately 58% of the voting power of Nyer. Karen Wright will resign her position as President of Nyer, while continuing as Vice-President-Finance. She, Donald Lewis and Dr. Kenneth Nyer will resign their board positions while the Nyer board will elect Mark and David Dumouchel to the board. Mark Dumouchel, president of the pharmacy subsidiary since 1990, will be appointed Chief Executive Officer and President of Nyer. Upon closing, certain former subsidiary minority shareholders will sign three-year employment agreements to serve as executive pharmacy managers. As conditions of the buyout are met, all preferred shares of the company will be retired.

Over time and when fully realized upon, Nyer will satisfy its $4 million obligation through a series of transactions. The agreement provides for a $1.75 million cash payment, the issuance of a new class B2 convertible preferred shares to the minority shareholders, and the issuance of two notes, a $350,000 promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 7% per annum maturing in 5 years and a $1.5 million convertible promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 8% per annum maturing in 3 years.
