(AMEX:ENP), was finalized on March 15, 2002. The completion of the formal agreement follows the execution of a Letter of Intent completed by the parties in February 2002. The agreement is subject to the approval of both the transaction and the retention of the AMEX listing by the American Stock Exchange, and the approval of the ENP shareholders. ACT-AUS will be the surviving majority shareholder at completion. Full details of the transaction will be announced in the United States by ENP in the next few days. The agreement provides for the retention of the current ENP management team, as well as for the consolidation and expansion of the existing ENP real estate weekly performance training and coaching business. EntrePort Corp. is currently engaged in delivering a weekly online and off-line top producer weekly training and coaching program that will target the over 700,000 real estate agents located throughout the United States and Canada. The company believes the real estate model will work across the financial, insurance, legal and accounting vertical markets where the majority of target members either own their own business or are independent contractors and highly money motivated. EntrePort has executed contracts with RE/MAX, Prudential, GMAC Better Homes and Gardens, Coldwell Banker and Century 21 Real Estate. This transaction will provide the financing necessary to allow EntrePort's real estate division, www.university.com, to execute the marketing plan in order to achieve projected profitability. EntrePort has signed exclusive online content agreements with over 140 top producing real estate agents in North America. ACT-AUS to Establish United States Base of Operations ACT-AUS management confirmed, "We are very excited about the ENP transaction. ENP has an established business with a strong revenue base, that should generate an appropriate profit base before the end of 2002. ENP will provide ACT-AUS with an experienced corporate management team to assist in establishing an operational base for ACT-AUS in the USA, especially in regard to marketing assistance for the implementation and distribution of the SpectruCell technology. Perhaps most importantly it will enable ACT to supply the locally based support for organizations involved in the distribution of SpectruCell, and several evolving strategic relationships."

About ACT-Australia Advanced Communications Technologies (Australia) Pty Ltd is a world leader in the development of software-defined radio (SDR), an innovative technology that allows for exceptional flexibility in commercial and military wireless communications. The company's flagship product, SpectruCell, is an SDR multiple protocol wireless base station that enables network providers to install a single base station and configure it to any or all protocols (GSM, CDMA, UMTS, W-CDMA, etc).
