Virtutone Announces Wholesale Update

SHERWOOD PARK, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - March 4, 2013) - Virtutone Networks Inc. ("Virtutone" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:VFX) is pleased to announce that it has secured additional contracts for wholesale voice traffic. Gross revenue from this traffic has averaged approximately $850,000 per month over the past 3 months, and reached a high of over $1,300,000 for the month of February. Transition of this traffic to Virtutone is expected to start immediately and be complete by mid-March.

"This new block of business is a positive development for our wholesale division, and reflects the hard work and dedication of our team," said Colin Campbell, Chief Financial Officer of Virtutone. "Traffic from these customers has grown substantially in a short amount of time with the previous carrier. We believe that this revenue is sustainable and will continue to grow. This increase in voice traffic will also give us more leverage with our suppliers, which should result in lower costs and higher margins. Our sales team continues to bring on new customers, and is currently working on several other deals which could have a significant positive impact on the Company's revenues."

The Company looks forward to providing updates on future developments with new and existing business.
