Cascadia Investments, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CDIN)(March 13, 2008) announced yesterday that its current portfolio of eleven rental properties is operating at full occupancy with an average of one or two days between vacancies due to a waiting list of prospective tenants. This is occurring even during the traditionally high-vacancy winter months.

The current turmoil in the real estate markets is creating a huge demand for rental accommodations as many people are forced to downsize. This condition is putting an upward pressure on rental rates as demand increases and availability decreases -- a trend that should continue into the foreseeable future.

As a result, the company plans to review each of its properties over the next few weeks and implement rent increases of five to ten percent where appropriate, which will result in a positive impact on its earnings over the next couple of quarters. This will translate into increased revenue and a higher rate of return on its holdings.

Southern Home Medical Equipment, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SHMM)(March 13, 2008) announced earlier today that its subsidiary ApneaRX generated sales of $57,751.00 for the month of February. Greg Tucker, President and CEO of Southern Home Medical, stated, "Taking into consideration the fact that February is the month when deductibles most impact incoming revenue, we were very pleased with our results." ApneaRX's primary business is supplying durable medical equipment for the treatment of long-standing or severe sleep-disordered breathing, also known as sleep apnea, with a secondary focus on respiratory products. Sleep Apnea causes persons to involuntarily stop breathing dozens of times each night, waking them up gasping for breath. More than 18 million Americans suffer from the most common form of sleep apnea, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), and up to 90% of persons with the disorder remain undiagnosed. Greg Tucker, President of Southern Home Medical, stated, "When we acquired ApneaRX this past year, we established an immediate footprint for servicing the growing sleep market. ApneaRX specializes in continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and BiPAP (Bilateral) equipment to treat OSA. Awareness of the issues aggravated by sleep apnea such as exhaustion, oxygen deprivation, stroke, high blood pressure, and Type II diabetes is on the rise, and make detecting and treating sleep apnea more important than ever. ApneaRX is poised to meet anticipated increased market demand for those seeking comfort and management of their sleep disorders and other respiratory illnesses."
