The management team of Everest Interlink, headed by Michael Panayiotis, remains intact, and will lead the expansion efforts. The two companies contemplate a rapid joint expansion of the revenue bases of both companies by the offering of Interlink's VoIP services to the existing clients of Everest Interlink, as well as joint marketing efforts to offer the combined data and voice services to clients located in the other 60 office buildings that Everest Interlink has contracts with, as well as expanding the combined product and service offerings to Interlink's base of domestic and international clients.

Although I could have continued to grow the business internally at a rate of approximately 20% per year, and had no need of operating capital Noun 1. operating capital - capital available for the operations of a firm (e.g. manufacturing or transportation) as distinct from financial transactions and long-term improvements

, Interlink offered me the chance to greatly accelerate this growth rate, and the potential to be the market leader in this market segment. The senior management of Interlink and I share the same goal of building a major international telecom and data service company, based upon the latest technology. Our company has spent long hours restructuring the operations of Everest, and are now poised to take advantage of the reduced competition in our market segment, and the rapidly consolidating nature of the entire industry."

Anastasios Kyriakides, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Interlink stated: "We are pleased to add Everest Interlink, and its seasoned management team to the growing list of Interlink synergistic family of companies. Our two companies are a natural fit to provide joint voice and data services to our combined client bases. We expect substantial synergistic cost savings through this acquisition by combining the offices of Everest Interlink and Interlink Global Communications, our wholesale subsidiary, in New York, and the combining of our marketing teams to offer both services to existing and potential clients. We are also pleased to be bringing into our management team a person of the quality of Michael Panayiostis, who has over 20 years of experience in the telecom and data services industry. His engineering and management talents will be utilized by Interlink, not only in the immediate expansion of Everest Interlink, but also on several international projects that we are building that require wireless broadband data services expertise. We are continuing our rapid expansion through both internal growth and strategic acquisitions that expand our foothold as one of the leading providers of wireless broadband and VoIP services to the domestic and international corporate marketplace. To that end, we expect further acquisitions to be announced To be announced (TBA)
