Announces the Signing of a Preliminary P Voice & Wireless Corp. Announces the Signing of a Preliminary Purchase Order by C.K. International, Ltd. To Initially Purchase 10,000 of Its Wireless Ear Buds Business Editors MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 23, 2001--Voice & Wireless Corporation (OTC:BB symbol: VWLC) a leading provider of voice and wireless comprehensive solutions, today announced its acceptance of a Preliminary Purchase Order from C. K. International, Ltd., of Seoul, Korea, to make an initial purchase of 10,000 of the Company's wireless Ear Buds and transmitters. Mr. Jochen Stog, President of the Voice & Wireless European and Asian Subsidiary, stated, "The President of C. K. International, Ltd., Chang, Kyung Jun, arrived in Minneapolis earlier this week and was shown a working proto type of the hands free, wireless Ear Bud and its numerous applications. After numerous meetings, he executed a Distribution Agreement for Korea and submitted a signed Preliminary Purchase Order for the purchase of 10,000 units to be backed by an Irrevocable Letter of Credit. Since this will be the Company's first commercial production run of the wireless Ear Bud, the Preliminary Purchase Order does allow for mutually agreed to adjustments in time schedules for delivery and in the price of the units." Mark Haggerty, President of Voice & Wireless Corporation, stated, "the C. K. International preliminary order for 10,000 units of the Ear Bud is the Company's first large commercial order and hopefully will be the start of other large commercial orders both in the USA and overseas. We have been frustrated with delays, but the wait will be worth it and C. K. International's preliminary order will help us get the first commercial production going. Shareholders have also called with concerns about our cash position and I want to assure them that our balance sheet is better than it was a year ago and that we have cash and a untapped line of credit. This is just the beginning for our no wires, hands free and radiation free Ear Bud in a world with over 900,000,000 cellular phones."
