This relationship with Etisalat is in addition to other telecommunication projects of mutual cooperation, such as premium value-added services and enhanced television.

GBS purchased 4,100 Q Xpress 200(TM) POS terminals to date as part of Q Comm's Service Bureau model and is responsible for buying and reselling prepaid products, deploying POS terminals, generating sales reports and managing customer support going forward.

In relation to the terminal sale, Q Comm will recognize revenue of $610,000 and an impairment charge of $776,000 in the first quarter of 2006.
