/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Integrated Business Systems and Services,
Inc. (IBSS) (OTC:IBSS) (BULLETIN BOARD: IBSS) today announced that
it intends to deregister its shares of common stock under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as permitted by applicable rules.
As a result, IBSS will no longer file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) or otherwise make publicly available
Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q,
Current Reports on Form 8-K or proxy statements related to
shareholder meetings. Deregistration is expected to be effective on
or about March 31, 2006, and IBSS does not intend to file an Annual
Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. As
a result of deregistering, IBSS' common stock will no longer be
traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). IBSS expects
trading to cease promptly following March 31, 2006. The Board of
Directors of IBSS has determined that deregistration will allow
IBSS to avoid substantial accounting and legal fees associated with
the preparation and filing of SEC reports. This, in turn, will
allow IBSS to use its funds more efficiently to pursue various
revenue and profit generating opportunities. "We have significant
opportunities before us for increasing our revenues in the months
ahead. Specifically, we see notable opportunities for our current
system and new systems being deployed in airports, auto repair
shops, and hospitals with SynTrack(TM) for Healthcare, as well as
the newly expanded dispatch and transport software into
SynTrack(TM). In addition, IBSS has identified new opportunities
for leveraging the power of our proprietary Synapse(TM) technology
to develop new products for new OEM customers in key niche
markets," stated Dr. George Mendenhall, CEO of IBSS. Continuing,
Dr. Mendenhall added, "At this time, we must focus our capital
resources on these markets and new revenue streams, and, after due
consideration, believe that this deregistration will help us to
best leverage our available resources for the good of the Company
and our shareholders. We believe that by allocating our capital
resources to maintain the Company's public reporting status would
significantly compromise our ability to take advantage of these
prevailing opportunities," stated Dr. George Mendenhall, Chief
Executive Officer of IBSS. Management is optimistic that IBSS will
be able to re-register its common stock and re-initiate periodic
reporting as funds become available. In that event, IBSS intends to
cause its common stock to reinitiate trading on the OTCBB or other
securities trading market, as appropriate. However, at this time,
management cannot predict with certainty whether these events will
occur or, if they do, the timing of such occurrence. About IBSS
