AWYB - 21M short

American Way Business Development Corp. Updates Shareholders on NOBO List

BOCA RATON, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/13/06 -- American Way Business Development Corporation (PINKSHEETS: AWYB) ("AWYB" or the "Company") on Monday, October 11, 2006, announced that there appeared to be major differences in the numbers reflected on the NOBO list versus the actual numbers from the transfer agent. As we noted in our press release of yesterday, October 12, 2006, given the discrepancies, we felt we had no choice but to do a mandatory cert recall.

Mr. Platten, President, also noted that a lot of shareholders were asking for a specific number of shorts. We have been very reluctant to provide a number since we cannot be absolutely certain. There have been a lot of rumors in the past few days and the Company feels compelled to quell the rumors by providing its best estimate to date. In the words of Mr. Platten, "In my view, looking at everything I see, I think the shorts are in the neighborhood of 21 million shares. However," Mr. Platten adds, "whether my estimate is correct or not, the rubber will soon meet the road. We are hopeful that everything will be in place for the mandatory cert exchange by the end of the business day on Tuesday, October 17, 2006."

The Company believes that once the mandatory cert exchange is finalized it will resolve the shorts problem once and for all. We encourage our shareholder base to watch for updates as they occur.
