Hudson Securities, Inc. Announces Completion of Its Merger Into
Health Outcomes Management, Inc. 


JERSEY CITY, N.J., May 3  /PRNewswire/ -- Hudson Securities, Inc. ("Hudson"), a
registered broker-dealer with the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. and SIPC, announced today that it has completed its merger into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Health Outcomes Management, Inc. ("Health
Outcomes"), a publicly-traded company (OTC:HOMI.OB) (BULLETIN BOARD: HOMI.OB) .
As part of the transaction, Health Outcomes, upon receipt of board and
stockholder approval, intends to: (i) change its name to Hudson Holding
Corporation, and (ii) effectuate a reverse-split of its outstanding common
stock.  The former stockholders of Hudson will control the board of directors
and approximately 94% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Health
Outcomes upon their receipt of 154,672,671 shares of Health Outcomes' common
stock in connection with the merger.

Hudson is a leading OTC market maker, making markets in approximately 7,000
securities.  Hudson currently has 82 employees, 55 of which are position and
sales traders.  Hudson's unaudited revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2005 were approximately $20,800,000 and unaudited pre-tax profit was
approximately $730,000.  These figures are unaudited and subject to adjustment
upon completion of the audit of its financial statements by its independent
registered public accounting firm.

In developing its business, Hudson currently intends to establish investment
banking and research departments and an institutional agency-only trading desk.
 Hudson's corporate headquarters are located in the financial district of
Jersey City, New Jersey at 525 Washington Blvd. and they also maintain offices
in Boca Raton, Florida and Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Keith Knox, President and Secretary of Hudson views Hudson's core market making
business as a platform for future growth, stating "We are very excited about
becoming a public company.  This transaction was a critical next step in the
execution of our strategic business plan, which includes synergistic
acquisitions in technology, asset management and trading.  After growing Hudson
privately for many years, we see significant potential in obtaining access to
the public capital markets and a public currency for use in connection with
strategic initiatives.  Additionally, we believe that being a public company
will allow our employees to share in the benefits of Hudson's future growth."

As previously reported in Health Outcomes Schedule 14f-1/A as filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2005, upon completion of
this transaction, Martin Cunningham, Keith Knox and Mark Leventhal will be
appointed to serve on Health Outcomes' board of directors, constituting a
majority of its board of directors, until the next annual meeting of
stockholders.  Additionally, Peter J. Zugschwert, Health Outcomes President and
sole executive officer has resigned and the board of directors has appointed
Martin Cunningham as Chief Executive Officer, Keith Knox as President and
Secretary and Mark Leventhal as Executive Vice President.  Peter J. Zugschwert
will remain as a director of Health Outcomes.

Upon receipt of board and stockholder approval, of which there can be no
assurance, Health Outcomes intends to effect a one-for-five reverse-split of
its outstanding shares of common stock.  Assuming a one-for-five reverse split
of its outstanding shares of common stock is consummated, Health Outcomes will
have approximately 32.9 million shares of its common stock outstanding after
the merger transaction.

In connection with the intended name change of Health Outcomes to Hudson
Holding Corporation, of which there can be no assurance, Health Outcomes' stock
symbol will be changed as well, which Health Outcomes will announce when NASDAQ
assigns a new symbol.
