Fireswirl Technologies signs letter of intent to acquire intellectual property for translating mobile text messages

December 18, 2006 - Vancouver BC - Fireswirl Technologies Inc. (TSXV: FSW) ("Fireswirl") has entered into a letter of intent with Living Stone Consultants Limited ("LSCL") to acquire intellectual property for translating mobile text messages (patent pending) ("IP"). The IP enables real-time translation between multiple languages using mobile phones as the primary medium. It allows translation to be completed on and between virtually any type of mobile phone (GPRS and non-GPRS). The purchase of the IP is subject to, among other things, Fireswirl completing due diligence and entering into a definitive purchase agreement. The closing of the transaction is anticipated to be on or before February 28, 2007. The letter of intent currently proposes that LSCL would receive 50 percent of the first US$8 million of associated operating cash flow generated by the IP, and 15 percent of any operating or licensing cash flow thereafter. There is no assurance that the transaction will be completed on such terms or at all. "We are positioning Fireswirl to take advantage of the emerging demand for mobile commerce," says Dale Peterson, Fireswirl's CEO. "The market for electronic language translations is exploding as business and social encounters become more and more global. Fireswirl plans to bundle the IP with some of the company's existing technology and introduce a short message service (SMS) translator initially to Asian markets." "This technology is a natural fit with our present multi-language, multi-currency, and text messaging capabilities," adds Tony Lau, Fireswirl's CTO. "We're excited about the opportunity to introduce a Fireswirl-branded mobile translator to the market as early as spring 2007."
