(OTCBB: KLYS chart, msgs), announced that one of its newly acquired subsidiaries, Torchmail Communications Inc. (Pink Sheets:TOCH), will effect, today, a 5:1 forward split of its shares of common stock. Existing Torchmail shareholders will not be required to turn in their shares. Shares currently owned will be identified as "pre-split" shares and will have the full post-split value. Torchmail's new trading symbol is "TCHM." Kelly's management believes the forward split will enhance Torchmail's appeal within public markets. Torchmail, originally formed in 1964 as Erly Industries, is an attractive candidate for acquisition. Torchmail is seeking to reacquire operations in an emerging sector. The ideal acquiring company will have an innovative product and will meet NASDAQ small-cap requirements. Kelly's is a diversified holding company, which recently acquired operations through an acquisition with AXIA Group Inc. The newly acquired assets include income producing properties, a financial consultancy, and numerous public "vehicles." Torchmail is one of the public vehicles. Kelly's strongly encourages the public to read the above information in conjunction with its Form 10KSB for Dec. 31, 2000, and 10QSB for Sept. 30, 2001, AXIA Group Inc.'s Form 10KSB for Dec. 31, 2000, and 10QSB for Sept. 30, 2001, and Torchmail Communications Inc.'s Form 10KSB for March 31, 2000, and 10QSB for Sept. 30, 2002.
