Another brick in place as part of NSS' evolution into a major player.

The news of NSS acquiring a B2B portal is still relatively unknown in the Ottawa area. I have seen no mention in the Ottawa Citizen - but then the Citizen has been busy pumping its own Ottawa.com site, so perhaps not surprising. With the acquisition now closed, perhaps we'll see a little hoopla.

Next ? - TSE listing.

Yorkton on board, financing, TSE listing

Recalling Quigg's outline for plans for TSE at the last AGM, he mentioned that there was a requirement for a certain level of capitalization. I expect that this is related to that or acquisitions, as Quigg was quite clear that Newsys did not have a need for cash for operations. But then cash might be required to opening another office somewhere.

Adding Yorkton should increase Newsys' visibility significantly.

NewSys Announces Financing By Yorkton

OTTAWA, ONTARIO-- March 1, 2000

$6,875,000 Special Warrant Offering

NewSys Solutions Inc. ("NewSys") announces that Yorkton Securities
Inc. ("Yorkton") has agreed to act as agent in connection with a
private placement of 2,500,000 special warrants of NewSys (the
"Special Warrants") at a price of $2.75 per Special Warrant for
gross proceeds of $6,875,000 (the "Financing"). Each Special
Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire Units at no
additional cost. Each Unit shall comprise one common share and
one-half share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Two Warrants plus
$3.75 will entitle the holder to acquire one common share on or
before twelve (12) months from the Closing Date.

"This financing is a powerful testament to the strength of NewSys'
business model, the execution ability of our management team and
our vision to build a world class e-business company," said Mark
Quigg, CEO of NewSys.

Yorkton's remuneration will include an agent's option to acquire
10% of the number of Special Warrants sold, at a price of $2.75
per Special Warrant (the "Agent's Compensation Options"). NewSys
and Yorkton expect the financing to close on or about March 15,
2000 and NewSys has committed to file a prospectus in certain
jurisdictions for the purpose of qualifying the Common Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Special Warrants within 120 days of
the closing date. In the event NewSys fails to obtain a receipt
for a prospectus qualifying the Common Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Special Warrants within 120 days of the closing
date, each holder of Special Warrants will be entitled to receive
1.1 Common Shares and 1.1 Warrant for no additional consideration
for each Special Warrant held.

The completion of the Financing is subject to regulatory approval.
NewSys intends to utilize the additional capital raised pursuant
to the Financing for operations and to review, pursue and complete
strategic acquisitions.

Subsequent to the completed Financing, NewSys will have 17.5
million shares outstanding and fully diluted.

Today's article in the Ottawa Citizen (finally) provided good coverage of the financing and closing of the acquisition. No use of the magic words "B2B portal" or mention of TSE listing however.

The article doesn't seem to be available on-line.
