Jump to first matched term

SEATTLE, WA, Feb 25, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Y3K Secure Enterprise Software, Inc., (OTC/BB: YTHK), an end-to-end unified communications and technologies company serving the small to medium sized business market, announced today the purchase of all of the underlying technology related to its ICS Secure Collaborative Communication platform from Karunga Technologies Corporation, the developer of the ICS platform. Under the terms of the transaction, Y3K has acquired sole, exclusive, world-wide rights to the technology, the source code and all of the development tools related to the ICS platform.

Prior to this purchase, Y3K and Karunga Technologies were operating under a joint development agreement whereby Karunga Technologies and Y3K shared the responsibility for the continuing development of the ICS platform. Prior to the purchase, the profits derived from the sale and distribution of the ICS platform were split on a 50%-50% basis between the two companies. Pursuant to this purchase, all further development of the ICS platform will be done by Y3K and all of the profits will be retained by Y3K.

The acquisition of the material assets of Fox Communications and the purchase of 100% of the rights to the ICS technology and source code completes the final step in positioning Y3K as a company that is able to completely and fully execute on its business plan to provide a complete end-to-end unified communications package to the small to medium sized business market. In addition to the acquisition of all of the ICS technology, Y3K has extended employment contracts to the primary developers of the technology as well as to key management of Karunga Technologies.

By combining voice communications traditionally offered by telephone companies with secure, encrypted data and file transfer, text messaging and e-mail on a single platform from one provider (see the Executive Summary at www.ythk.com); Y3K is now positioned to emerge as a leading company in the world of complete communications solutions.

"Following the acquisition of the material assets of Fox Communications, the further development of our VoIP platform and the recent partnership with Corinex, this latest step in our planned expansion allows Y3K to continue on its current growth path to secure a leadership position as one of the few companies nationwide to provide complete voice and secure communications and technologies to small and medium sized businesses," stated King Cole, President of Y3K.

"Y3K and Karunga Technologies have enjoyed a great partnering arrangement over the last several years. This purchase by Y3K marks the completion of a major milestone in the combined vision of the two companies and paves the way for Y3K to take a strong leadership position in providing the next generation of fully integrated communication products and services," stated Shane Smith, President and CEO of Karunga Technologies. "The talented research and development team led by Cedric Griss, founder, CTO and Chairman of the Board at Karunga Technologies will now, under the new roof of Y3K, integrate IP/PBX voice capabilities onto the ICS platform and will provide economical, high quality VoIP, call management and conferencing on a platform scalable to the needs of small to medium sized business."

The coming together of the two companies will allow Y3K to integrate secure file and data back up, storage and archiving to provide a manageable and economical solution for compliance with new increased governmental regulations that is required by 'Sarbains-Oxley' legislation and HIPPA.

Y3K and its subsidiary, Ecuity Advanced Communications (formerly Fox Communications), will immediately and fully incorporate the complete package of Karunga Technologies into their communication packages for the small to medium business market.

Jump to first matched term

SEATTLE, WA, Jan 14, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via Comtex/ -- Y3K Secure Enterprise Software, Inc., (OTC/BB: YTHK), an end-to-end unified communications and technologies company serving the small to medium sized business market, announced today the acquisition of the material assets of Fox Communications. Under the terms of the transaction, Y3K's subsidiary, Ecuity Holdings, Inc., has acquired the material assets of the sixteen year old Washington based telecommunications company through a cash, promissory note and stock transaction valued at approximately $4.8 million. This transaction completes the final phase of the Joint Operating Agreement between Y3K and Fox Communications.

The assets acquired by Y3K include the competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) consisting of a customer base of 18,000 residential and business customers, conferencing and ISP operations, next generation voice services, fully functioning customer service and billing capabilities and the employee base and Fox management. Additionally, the transaction included the recently upgraded Network Operation Center (NOC) that allows for the significant expansion of unified end-to-end communication solutions through the addition of voice over IP (VoIP). In addition to the growth of the unified products and services, the new NOC increases efficiencies, reduces costs and has a positive impact on operating revenue. Fox Communications generated $16 million in revenue in 2003. The historical revenues of Fox Communications will not be reflected in Y3K's financial statements.

This acquisition allows Y3K to emerge as one of the few companies nationwide to provide complete voice and secure communications and technologies to small and medium sized businesses. In order to reflect the robust product line of unified communications and next generation voice services now offered, the new wholly owned telecommunications subsidiary is called Ecuity Holdings, Inc. Frank Maros, of Fox Communications, moved from sales and marketing to President of Ecuity Holdings, Inc. Maros will oversee all operations within this subsidiary. Fox Communications' residential and business customers will be transitioned and will not experience a change in their current level of service. Fox's customers can expect to benefit from an increased level of services and expanded product offerings.

"The management of Fox and its talented team of people have built a successful and innovative telecommunications company with a strong and loyal customer base. We are enthusiastic about incorporating these assets into Y3K and we expect that over the next 90 days we will successfully complete this integration," stated King Cole, President of Y3K. "This new subsidiary of Y3K allows us to now economically deliver to the small and medium business market complete end-to-end communication solutions including secure next generation voice services, instant messaging, data transfer, long distance plans, conference calling and internet services coupled with cutting edge technology."

"Our vision is to be the leading provider of complete communication solutions for small to medium sized businesses. The entrepreneurial spirit that has driven Fox and allowed us to build a successful company will continue to grow and thrive at Y3K," stated Frank Maros, President of Ecuity Holdings, Inc.

With the transaction complete, Y3K's first quarter plans include the continued sale and operation of telecommunication services, the continued integration and national marketing of end-to-end unified communication services, the marketing of the complete product and service set to the current customer base of 18,000 and the launch of voice over IP.
