/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EdgeTech Services Inc.
(http://www.edgetechservices.com/) (OTC:EDGH) (BULLETIN BOARD:
EDGH) has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Internet search
engine Web's Biggest Inc. EdgeTech has also setup a share buyback
plan to purchase up to 20 Million common shares. EdgeTech will
acquire Web's Biggest using Convertible Preferred Shares. As part
of the agreement the company will receive a cash injection of
$250,000 from Web's Biggest. Web's Biggest
(http://www.websbiggest.com/) had net income of more than $1.5
million for the twelve months ending March 2005. Profits have grown
more than 50% compared to the previous year with most revenue
automatically recurring. Net margins are also more than 50%. The
high profit margins are due to its highly automated and scaleable
IT infrastructure. This allows the company to grow rapidly without
needing significant additional capital. Web's Biggest is the
world's largest "wiki" based search engine. Its Editors Choice
directory is localized for 230 countries in 70 different languages.
Web's Biggest has licensed the entire Whois database of more than
40 million domain names, enabling them to search almost every
website in the world. Other search engines rely on hyperlinks and
manual submissions to find websites. In a recent study done by the
company, other search engines missed a third to more than half the
Web sites in Web's Biggest search results. "This is a dramatic
change in our company's direction that firmly places EdgeTech in
one of the hottest sectors in Information Technology. The potential
value of this transaction is tremendous for our shareholders," says
Tae Ho Kim, CEO of EdgeTech. "Web's Biggest's popularity worldwide,
its high margin business model, high growth rate and its strong
management team were factors that sealed our decision to move
forward," said Kim. "This deal will make EdgeTech highly
profitable. Entering the internet search and directory space with
Web's Biggest proprietary technology will provide our shareholders
with dramatic upside," said Kim. This will be an all-stock
transaction result in a change in control. Additional details are
