Matthew Rosen, Chief Executive Officer of Fusion,

Matthew Rosen, Chief Executive Officer of Fusion, said, "The last several months have been transformational for the Company and culminated in the completion of our previously announced acquisition of NBS, a profitable Unified Communications and cloud services provider, and the closing of $22.5 million in financing, from which a substantial portion of the proceeds were used to pay the purchase price of NBS. NBS adds 5,000 business customers to the Company and in fiscal 2011 generated $26.5 million in revenue, more than 95% of which was monthly recurring and contracted, and $4.9 million in adjusted EBITDA. We also expect to achieve substantial operating synergies and generate positive adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2013. NBS's robust, scalable and flexible proprietary services platform, in combination with a national network that includes on-net hubs and facilities in several major markets, advances our cloud services strategy and provides a strong foundation for future acquisitions, all of which we expect to accelerate the pace of revenue and margin growth and significantly improve results."
