ARIEL WAY BEGINS TRADING ON OTC BULLETIN BOARD UNDER SYMBOL NFDV
Company Completes Reverse Merger with Netfran, Management Positions
Company for Acquisition Growth
VIENNA, VA, FEBRUARY 8, 2005 -- Ariel Way, Inc., a technology and services
provider for highly secure global communications solutions, today announced that
its common stock began trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the
symbol NFDV following the completion of a reverse merger with Netfran
Development Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: NFDV).
Arne Dunhem, chairman and CEO of Ariel Way, said, "This merger allows us to
acquire highly secure global communication companies and to integrate and
consolidate our worldwide operations as rapidly and efficiently as possible".
Ariel Way's key strategy is to acquire synergetic companies that once combined
will provide highly secure global communications solutions and services. In
addition to the already acquired company Enfotec, Inc., Ariel Way is
contemplating the acquisition of various companies with revenues from $4 million
to $80 million. The management of Ariel Way believes that this strategy will
create strong growth during year 2005 of shareholder value with the intent to
reach a significant market capitalization of the company before year end in
2005.
Netfran acquired all issued and outstanding shares of Ariel Way common stock in
exchange for 33,289,434 shares of common stock of Netfran in a transaction that
resulted in a change in control of the company. Ariel Way has filed to change
the OTC Bulletin Board trading symbol from NFDV to AWAY. The change is expected
to happen shortly.
Current shareholders of Ariel Way now own 90 percent of Netfran's 36,988,260
shares of common stock. The company will temporarily continue to operate under
the name Netfran Development Corp. until the name can be changed to Ariel Way,
Inc., which requires an amendment to the articles of incorporation. The process
should take approximately 30 days. Elliot Krasnow and the other officers of
Netfran, resigned and were replaced by Ariel Way's management team, led by
Dunhem.
