Company Expects $2 Million Increase in Annual Revenues as It Further Expands Portfolio and Reach With Acquisition of Leading Regional Business-Class ISP
ANAHEIM, CA -- April 12, 2006 -- NextPhase Wireless (OTCBB: NXPW - News), a next-generation connectivity company that specializes in integrated Internet, voice and data communication solutions, today announced that it has closed the acquisition of Atlanta-based SpeedFactory announced in a release dated March 29th, 2006.
As stated in an 8-K filing on April 11, 2006, SpeedFactory, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NextPhase Wireless, Inc., acquired all of Synkronus, Inc.'s assets, excluding cash, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 29, 2006 between SpeedFactory and Synkronus.

CUSTOMER BASE GROWS BY 1100%
"SpeedFactory is a highly respected ISP, providing business-class DSL services to customers in Atlanta and the fast growing South-East region since 1998," said Robert Ford, NextPhase's President and CEO. "Together, we now provide a broad range of connectivity services to over 2500 customers in two of the fastest-growing regions of the country; Southern California and the South-East," added Ford.
REVENUE RUN RATE INCREASES TO $3.5M
Not only will the acquisition immediately add to our revenue and cash flow per share, it further strengthens our market-leading portfolio of connectivity products and services, and extends our geographic reach," said Ford. "With the contribution of the SpeedFactory acquisition starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we're now profitable and expect to see positive operating cash flow and much improved margins once the full integration is completed," added Ford.
