Wireless Age Communications Designated a Threshold Security Under Regulation SHO

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 2005--Wireless Age Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:WLSA) recently became aware that its shares have been designated a Threshold Security under Regulation SHO by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD).

Under Regulation SHO an issuer is designated a Threshold Security if for five consecutive settlement days:

- There are aggregate fails to deliver at a registered clearing agency of 10,000 shares or more per security; and

- The level of fails is equal to at least one-half of one percent of the issuer's total shares outstanding.

A security ceases to be a threshold security if it does not exceed the specified level of fails for five consecutive settlement days. The fail to deliver is commonly referred to as naked shorting, where a seller does not own the specific security when he sells.

The current threshold list contains over 100 securities, including several NASDAQ National Markets and Small Cap securities, some with market capitalization in excess of $1 billion. Wireless Age applauds the efforts by the regulators to take steps to curtail the practice of naked short selling. The list of all corporations on the SHO list can be found at http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/aspx/regsho.aspx.

Wireless Ages' management team also recently discovered that the Company's stock has been listed on the Berlin Stock Exchange without authorization from the Company. Wireless Age has engaged legal counsel to instigate measures for immediate delisting from the Berlin Stock Exchange. Furthermore, the Company is also taking preventative measures by processing documentation to be delivered to all other international exchanges in order to prevent further unauthorized listings of Wireless Age stock. Wireless Age is one of a host of publicly-traded companies that have been listed on the Berlin Stock Exchange without Company authorization, and a consortium of these companies are taking similar actions.

"We believe we're in good company having been designated on the Threshold Security list. However, we have been extremely frustrated with the manner in which the market has reacted to recent positive developments. The mmwave acquisition alone increased the top line by approximately 65% with only a 20% dilution in number of shares outstanding, yet out market cap remains unchanged. We can only assume that forces beyond the control of the Company continue to have an affect on the market capitalization." said John Simmonds CEO. "I'd like to assure the shareholders of this company that we will take all reasonable steps that are necessary to counteract these practises."
