                  SEMOTUS SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS
                    FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2003

                   Semotus Reports 35% Reduction in Net Loss,
               Margin Improved to 77% and Cash Burn Reduced by 67%

LOS GATOS, CA.-- (PrimeZone Media) August 14, 2003, 12:30 PM EST -- Semotus
Solutions (AMEX:DLK), a leading provider of software for mobile enterprise
applications, reported the financial results of the first quarter of its fiscal
year 2004. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company continued on
its path to profitability with a reduced net loss and cash burn rate and at the
same time further improving its margins.

Semotus reported a reduction in its net loss to $673,000 or $0.03 per share in
the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $1.0 million or $0.06 per share in the
three months ended June 30, 2002. Semotus also reduced its use of cash by 67% to
$231,000 from $709,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2003 versus 2002.
Semotus' operating performance improved, as evidenced by a continued increase in
its gross profit margin to 77% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from 65% for
the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Revenues declined to $354,000 from $614,000 in
the quarter ended June 30, 2003 versus 2002. This revenue decline is
substantially all a result of the completion of a customer maintenance contract
at March 31, 2003. Last year's recorded revenue resulted from the amortization
of deferred revenue from the customer maintenance contract and as such, had no
impact on the cash position of the Company.

As discussed in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, "Stock Based
Compensation Expense", the Company's net loss was increased by a non-cash charge
to income of $348,000 due to the application of the variable method of
accounting for certain stock options that were repriced. In accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, $348,000, or 51% of the Company's net
loss, is a consequence of the non-cash compensation expense recognized on
repriced stock options.

"We have stayed on our course that we set out upon last year to improve our
operations and get to profitability," said Mr. Charles Dargan, CFO of Semotus.
"This quarter continues to build upon our Consolidation and Centralization Plan
and we are closing in on our goal of profitability."

Mr. Anthony LaPine, CEO and Chairman of the Board, stated, "Now that we have cut
our losses and increased our gross margins, our next challenge is revenue
growth. Semotus' recent partnership with Reuters is just one of many new Sales
and Marketing initiatives that are expected to contribute to future revenue
growth. We continue to conserve our cash while we carefully invest in our
future."

Mr. LaPine continued, "We have completed the difficult and painful Consolidation
and Centralization phase of the company evolution. We have cleaned up the equity
structure with the buy back of a $5.7 million dollar Preferred. Semotus now has
a clean ownership structure with one class of common stock and no debt. As I
have mentioned in the past, we are committed to achieving profitability and to
increased shareholder value."
