second quarter ended June 30, 2006. Revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 increased 48% to $883,000 from $596,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2005. The year over year increase was

transport services, into the largest and most established
alternative provider of backhaul and access services in the United
States," said Michael Gallagher, president and CEO, First Avenue
Networks. "With the close of our merger agreement with FiberTower
imminent, both companies are very enthusiastic about what the
future holds for the new entity. The new FiberTower will be
extremely well positioned with significant spectrum assets, a
world-class network operating platform and relationships with many
of the nation's leading wireless carriers and tower companies - all
at a time when fixed wireless is primed to take off as a viable
alternative transport solution." Forward Looking Statements
