Joel Dupre, Chief Executive Officer of Cordia stated, "Although we reported a net loss for the quarter we will continue our geographical expansion of our wireline offerings in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area.  and our VoIP services and related services offerings on a global scale. During the third quarter of 2006, we will strengthen our global VoIP footprint as we market and develop our international VoIP product in the APAC APAC Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing

. We are excited about our prospects in Brazil, as this country accounts for the majority of the telecommunications business in South America South America, fourth largest continent (1991 est. pop. 299,150,000), c.6,880,000 sq mi (17,819,000 sq km), the southern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere.  and we believe that this acquisition will provide us with a solid foothold to take advantage of the emerging telecommunications opportunities on this continent."

Mr. Dupre continued, "Cordia's management has confidence in its business plan and its ability to execute this plan. Our confidence and the belief that our current market valuation is not an accurate reflection of Cordia's underlying value has caused management to take steps to take action; to move in a matter.

 to improve Cordia's capital structure. In June 2006, we bought all of our existing outstanding warrants, which represented 1,170,000 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $309,000 and in July 2006, Cordia's Board approved a stock buy back program. Cordia is authorized to spend an aggregate of $500,000 during 2006 to repurchase its common stock so long as the market price does not exceed $1. We believe the repurchase of the warrants will increase shareholder value by reducing prospective shareholder dilution and our buy back plan demonstrates management's confidence in Cordia."

Kevin Griffo, President of Cordia, commented, "In addition to our global expansion of VoIP, we will continue focusing on our core wireline business. By the end of 2006, we anticipate expanding Cordia's territory to include Minnesota, Maryland, and Virginia. In addition, we recently launched My Tel Co, Inc., as a competitive local exchange carrier providing services to consumers in the secondary consumer credit market, a market not currently served by Cordia. We believe the addition of new territories and the launch of My Tel will provide Cordia with a growth in sales and increase the potential for positive earnings by the fourth quarter of 2006."
