Ariel Way Begins Trading on OTC Bulletin Board Under Symbol NFDV


VIENNA, Va., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ariel Way, Inc., a technology and services provider for highly secure global communications solutions, today announced that its common stock began trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol NFDV following the completion of a reverse merger with Netfran Development Corp. (BULLETIN BOARD: NFDV) .


Arne Dunhem, chairman and CEO of Ariel Way, said, "This merger allows us to acquire highly secure global communication companies and to integrate and consolidate our worldwide operations as rapidly and efficiently as possible."
Ariel Way's key strategy is to acquire synergetic companies that once combined will provide highly secure global communications solutions and services. In addition to the already acquired company Enfotec, Inc., Ariel Way is contemplating the acquisition of various companies with revenues from $4 million to $80 million. The management of Ariel Way believes that this strategy will create strong growth during year 2005 of shareholder value with the intent to reach a significant market capitalization of the company before year end in 2005.
Netfran acquired all issued and outstanding shares of Ariel Way common stock in exchange for 33,289,434 shares of common stock of Netfran in a transaction that resulted in a change in control of the company. Ariel Way has filed to change the OTC Bulletin Board trading symbol from NFDV to AWAY. The change is expected to happen shortly.
Current shareholders of Ariel Way now own 90 percent of Netfran's 36,988,260 shares of common stock. The company will temporarily continue to operate under the name Netfran Development Corp. until the name can be changed to Ariel Way, Inc., which requires an amendment to the articles of incorporation. The process should take approximately 30 days. Elliot Krasnow and the other officers of Netfran resigned and were replaced by Ariel Way's management team, led by Dunhem.
