UNIFIED SIGNAL, INC. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UNIFIED SIGNAL, INC. 2014 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Kirkland, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 3/2/2015 - Unified Signal, Inc. (OTCQB: UNSI)
Dear Shareholders,
I wanted to take this time to summarize what we accomplished in 2014 and what
shareholders can expect to see in 2015. To summarize who we are, Unified Signal
(www.unifiedsignal.com) is a SaaS (software as a service) based billing and back
office solution which enables companies in virtually any industry sector to
resell cellular service as well as other telecom services using their existing
brand. Unified Signal's turnkey telecom billing solution allows its clients to
sell, provision, fulfill, and care for multiple telecom services, including pre
and post-paid cellular, local, long distance, Internet, and now even mobile
commerce. Unified Signal's technology infrastructure allows its clients to
implement faster, have much more control of the system, and is far more cost
efficient than other competing billing and back office systems. Unified Signal
has successfully integrated with all major U.S. carriers, which has never been
completed by any other U.S. billing company. Unified Signal also enables its
clients to private label their own "PayPal" type services including a full
mobile wallet linked to a prepaid debit card.
MAJOR MILESTONES OF 2014:
In 2nd quarter of 2014, Unified Signal became profitable and completed its 4th
carrier integration. The company also launched the first of its kind cross
carrier family, friend, business share plans.
In June 2014, Unified Signal acquired DataJack, Inc. which allowed the two
companies to combine and merge technologies. DataJack was an industry enabler
for data only mobile virtual network operators, commonly known as MVNOs. There
was strong synergy between Unified Signal and DataJack as historically Unified
Signal has not offered data only enablement services; however, the telecom
industry as a whole is becoming very data centric. I was very impressed with the
DataJack software back office infrastructure and much of the team it had
assembled. From the very start of our due diligence, we recognized the synergies
between the two companies and both companies would benefit from the merger of
the two technologies and the integration of both teams. Unified Signal brings
the billing system, supplier eco system, as well as 19 live revenue producing
clients. It also brings a significant sales pipeline of fortune 500 companies
that also need combined voice and data only services.
From June to December 2014, there was substantial clean-up work we had to
complete. The legacy DataJack company was losing over $100,000 per month. Our
first objective post acquisition, was to restructure the public company and turn
the new DataJack division into a profitable entity. We officially changed the
name of the public company to Unified Signal (ticker symbol: UNSI). In only 4
months we restructured the DataJack business segment to allow it to create
positive cash flow. We integrated the DataJack code into the Unified Signal code
base and re-launched the DataJack system into Unified Signal's hosting facility
as well as sold the DataJack subscriber base to provide the working capital to
make the changes needed to reorganize the company. We converted approximately
85% of DataJack's $3.8 million in debt into equity and created a payment plan
with the remaining debt. The company has since been paying down on the remaining
$570,000 of unconverted debt and currently has less than $100,000 of debt
remaining on the books. The company should be able to pay off the remaining debt
by the beginning of 2nd quarter 2015.
I believe the future looks very bright for Unified Signal shareholders. The
company now has over 19 exciting MVNO clients which we believe could
substantially increase our customer base and revenue stream.
In November / December of last year we have very carefully set our corporate
objectives for 2015 which I have summarized below.
2015 OBJECTIVES:
* Launch and integrate with international wireless carriers around the
world therefore creating a more global footprint for clients. We are
in the processes of signing multiple international carrier contracts
now as our US based clients wish to expand into Europe, Mexico, and
South America;
* Expand our product suite to support the resale of other services such
as IPTV, VoIP, and even energy. We also plan to expand our product
suite to include the sale of carrier branded services as well as other
large MVNOs which now represent 25% of wireless users. This will allow
clients using Unified Signal's system to literally sell and replenish
every carrier offering in the country;
* Market and expand internationally with the company's mobile commerce
platform which now supports real time money transfer internationally
for a fraction of the cost of any other money transmittal company.
Specifically we will be launching our mobile wallet product suite into
Serbia and much of Eastern Europe;
* Launch Unified Signal's new Voice over Wi-Fi Back Haul in over 8
million international locations across the world. This product allows
our client's customers with the ability to use their cellular phone
all over the world, but only pay as if they were in their home market.
* Grow our revenue substantially from $3.5 Million in 2014 and add
another 10 MVNOs in 2015 bringing our supported MVNOs to 30 by year
end.
* Create a board / board of advisors of experienced professionals in the
technology / software space. Last month we finished adding key board
of advisor members that we believe will help make the company an
attractive acquisition candidate and provide the company with a wealth
of experience in building a high growth software system.
* Market our company to the investment community to increase awareness
of who we are and generate interest in our stock.. Currently we
believe our stock price is not reflective of the fundamentals of our
business. Stock price has been volatile due to lack of liquidity. To
address these issues, we are committed to embark on an investors
outreach campaign by actively marketing and communicating our stories
through investor conferences and various mediums. It is not a quick
process, but with our continued effort, we believe we will eventually
achieve our goal.

excited as I am about the future of Unified Signal.

To the extent that statements contained in this press release are not
descriptions of historical facts regarding Unified Signal, they are
forward-looking statements reflecting the current beliefs and expectations of
management made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "believe," "will," "expect,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "objectives" and similar expressions (as
well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions or
circumstances) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of
forward-looking statements contained in this press release include, among
others, statements regarding the quoting and trading of our common stock and our
expectations regarding our development and monetization plans for our
international wireless carrier contracts, increasing our revenue substantially,
expanding our products offering such IPTV, VoIP and energy, expanding our mobile
commerce platform internationally and launching our Wi-Fi Back Haul in over 8
million locations internationally. Forward-looking statements in this release
involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause the development and
monetization of our mobile games, future results, performance or achievements to
differ significantly from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. Unified Signal undertakes no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements. The quoting and trading of the company's common
stock on the OTC Bulletin Board and the OTC Market Group's OTC Link quotation
system is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices,
due to many factors that may have little to do with the company's operations or
business prospects. As a result, there may be volatility in the market price of
the shares of the company's common stock for reasons unrelated to operating
performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board and the OTC Market Group's OTC
Link quotation system are not stock exchanges, and trading of securities on them
is often more sporadic than trading of securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock
Market or another securities exchange. Accordingly, stockholders may have
difficulty reselling any of their shares. For a further description of the risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed
in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business
of the company in general, see Unified Signal's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, which are available through http://www.sec.gov.
