FARMINGDALE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 2001

DataWorld Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: DWLD.BB) (Frankfurt - VRX) announced that revenues for its fiscal 3rd quarter ending March 31, 2001 declined 33.6 percent to $2,402,000 compared to the same period last year.

Gross profit for the quarter was $520,000 or 21.6 percent compared with $801,000 or 22.2 percent for the same period last year. The Company reported a net loss of $318,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to net earnings of $18,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

"The downturn in the economy and, in particular, the telecommunications industry, has had a dramatic effect on our operations," said Dan McPhee, CEO of DataWorld Solutions. "We feel, however, that the worst is over and that we should begin to see a recovery in the fourth quarter of this calendar year. Regardless of any recovery, we are well into a restructuring initiative that has resulted in significant cost reductions and a new corporate direction," added McPhee.

McPhee continues; "To date, we have reduced payroll by over 50 percent, including the elimination of three senior managers. We have streamlined manufacturing and have consolidated production into our Farmingdale headquarters facility. These actions alone will result in a cost savings of over $2 million per year. In addition, the management team has made the decision to begin phasing out of the day-to-day distribution and logistics business. We determined that this portion of our business burdened our cash flow and generated very small profit in return. Instead, we felt we should focus our resources on developing our fiber optic and copper assembly and harnessing businesses. These actions better position DataWorld to penetrate the contract manufacturing and assembly industry, especially once we have completed our anticipated merger with American Access Technologies (NASDAQ: AATK)."
