WESTSMS

Subscription Gaming: Xinjiang Province, China

In November 2006, Firewirl, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Fireswirl Asia Limited, signed an agreement with Urumqi General System Computer Limited ("WestSMS") to jointly develop and market a "play-for-free" online membership service network featuring Texas Hold'em Poker games in Xinjiang Province, China.

WestSMS is an established, government-licensed telecommunication service provider and the first one to obtain a nationwide value-added business dial-in number in China. It is currently providing value-added services such as downloadable ring-tones and games to more than four million mobile phone users.

Fireswirl's feature-rich game technologies and networking solutions will provide the backbone for the new membership service network, and WestSMS will provide audience access and micro-payment capabilities through its relationship with the China Mobile Communications Corp. China Mobile is the largest mobile service provider in the world in terms of subscriber base. Participants will pay a monthly membership fee and compete for a variety of prizes and incentives. Revenues from this joint venture derive from membership fees and advertising.

MHL CONSULTING

Mobile Translation: Hong Kong, Taiwan and China

In January 2007, Fireswirl signed a definitive agreement with Living Stone Consultants Limited (LSCL) to acquire intellectual property (IP) that enables real-time translation of mobile text messages between multiple languages on almost any type of mobile phone. Subject to the completion of due diligence, the transaction will close on or before February 12, 2007.

Concurrent with the closing of this transaction, Fireswirl will become a 51 percent partner in M-Lingo, a joint venture initially formed between LSCL and MHL Consulting Ltd. (MHL) to market the IP to mobile telephone companies throughout Asia. MHL is an established Chinese company with an extensive network of contacts within governments and mobile service carriers in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China.

Fireswirl plans to bundle the IP with some of its existing technology and introduce a short message service (SMS) translator to Asian markets as early as spring 2007. The mobile translation market has been estimated to be worth up to $10 billion.
