DALLAS, Jun 7, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- IPVoice Communications, Inc. (IPVO) today announced having a total merger and acquisition pipeline signed under various Letters of Intent (LOI) representing more than $30 million in total annualized revenue. IPVoice has been aggressively pursuing merger and acquisition opportunities to expand the company's current telecommunication, healthcare and homeland security offerings, as well as to ramp up the supporting systems integration, software development and customer service capabilities. Much of IPVoice's recent merger and acquisition progress has gone previously unannounced as IPVoice has recently decided to make a practice of only announcing LOI's after due diligence is complete. IPVoice reports that the current $30 million signed under various LOI's is all within a sixty day horizon of anticipated closing. IPVoice is specifying that the $30 million in potential annualized revenue growth does not include the previously announced Wireless Frontier Internet LOI (WFRI).

IPVoice remains committed to building a wireless Internet strategy. However, after conducting its due diligence and reevaluation of expected synergies, IPVoice has cooled to the Wireless Frontier Internet acquisition. IPVoice management has determined the Wireless Frontier customer footprint and associated revenue numbers are not as compelling as originally anticipated. IPVoice remains interested in Wireless Frontier, but has ceased negotiations. However, should Wireless Frontier return with a working proposal closer to IPVoice's post due diligence valuation, IPVoice will still consider the merger and acquisition opportunity. Alternatively, IPVoice has signed a Letter of Intent with a private wireless Internet provider with current contracted revenue equal to that of Wireless Frontier.

"We have already announced the Sensitron and Netsco LOI's," said Philip Verges CEO of IPVoice. "These two acquisitions respectively expand our current healthcare and homeland security offerings. The yet to be announced wireless Internet LOI complements our current Voice over IP (VoIP) strategy and will either replace or enhance our efforts with Wireless Frontier. Shareholders should anticipate a joint announcement regarding the specifics of our wireless Internet deal with in the next two weeks. With just over an annual $15 million revenue run rate today and a forecasted $50 million annual run rate by year end, shareholders are understandably expectant on developments regarding IPVO's progress with its acquisition strategies. With this announcement, we will begin to regularly communicate our merger and acquisition plans and developments, to include the cooperative financing plans and progress to support these acquisitions."
