Press Release Summary: Instant Answering Service is upgrading its virtual office
equipment and service based on an anticipated rise in businesses utilizing virtual
office services. We feel that rising fuel costs will force more companies to have
their employees work from home rather than increase their pay to accommodate for the
steady climb in gasoline prices.

Press Release Body: T. Andrews of Instant Answering Service has unveiled his
companies plan to go green, conserve energy and save the environment. An independent
study conducted by a local university on behalf of Instant Answering Service
revealed that by employees working independently from their home while utilizing a
central virtual office environment, they can help reduce power consumption and
contribute to lowering the global dependence on fuel oil. Instant Answering Service
is streamlining the way companies operate by enhancing our virtual office service to
accommodate the next generation of how businesses do business. Based on future
projections on the popularity of businesses utilizing a virtual office work
environment, Instant Answering Service is specifically upgrading our virtual office
service with a $250,000 equipment and service upgrade. This includes upgrades
utilizing the latest teleconferencing hardware and software, licensing for
customized virtual office software, and upgrading our dedicated bandwidth and lines
at our call center location to a fiber optic service.

In an interview on the subject, T. Andrews said "We feel the going green attitude is
not a fad, it's a new way of life and looking at the future. The milieu surrounding
this idea is one of hope for the future. Every company needs to do its part so
future generations will have as beautiful of an environment as we have today.
Instant Answering Service is no different. We are preparing for the future of the
virtual office and will be ready when companies realize they don't need to be in an
office to succeed. Technological enhancements will truly change the way we do
business and will intimately help save, not harm, the environment."

Automobile exhaust is one of the most strenuous sources of atmospheric pollution. If
employees can work from home and still have the luxury of accessing all of their
mail, faxes, and messages electronically, we will all be able to help save the
environment. Years ago, telecommuting was seen as a solution to the environmental
crisis. Earth day preached about car pooling to work, saving energy, and conserving
expensive fuel. As a result, telecommuting has become increasingly popular
throughout the United States. This ideology was so popular that an act dubbed the
"Clean Air Act of 1996" was enacted required companies with over 100 employees to
encourage employee car pools, use of public transportation, four day work weeks, and
telecommuting. Telecommuting was seen as a solution to traffic congestion and
environmental corruption. We believe the advent of the virtual office service is the
next evolution of the concept.

With the advent of the internet, email, faxing, teleconferencing, and other
technical advances, more and more companies are allowing employees to work in their
own homes, away from the office. The increasing amount of lap top computers and hand
held communications devices has made working outside of the office a cost effective
option. Businesses can save overhead by cutting down on employees while helping the
environment by reducing power consumption and environmental pollution. Virtual
office services provide a central meeting place for employees via teleconferencing
and powerful CRM software provides a system for employers to check on the progress
of employees tasks without being physically in the same location. And, a central
receptionist with the ability to dispatch calls to the appropriate parties within
the company means the business will still have a professional appearance, even
though no one employee is working in the same location.

We see the virtual office service as the future of the going green mentality and are
proud to be pioneers. Employees will save time, trouble, and expense of driving back
and forth to work. Employers will relish in the extra time employees can work as
cutting out commuting time will give the employee person an extra hour and a half
each day to use for more productive uses. Finally, the environment will benefit as
working at home reduces gasoline consumption, power consumption, and overall
dependence on natural resources.
