WWA Group to Realize Record Month of Gross Sales Thursday June 15, 2:35 pm ET
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 15, 2006--WWA Group Inc. ("WWA Group") (OTCBB: WWAG - News) today announced that World Wide Auctioneers, Ltd. ("WWA"), a subsidiary of WWA Group, is set to record its highest international gross auction sales in any one-month period since 2000. ADVERTISEMENT
WWA has already conducted successful auctions in Indonesia and Holland this month, and will conclude major auctions in Dubai, Australia and Qatar by month end. Combined gross auction sales from all five auctions are estimated at approximately $34 million, based on actual sales and consignments to date.
"We are very excited about the prospect of achieving yet another record in the process of building our business," commented WWA Group CEO Eric Montandon. "Our Australian franchise is now cash flowing and WWA Group will recognize income for the first time from that venture. We also expect our first auction in Qatar to add to WWA Group's bottom line. Our established infrastructure in nearby Dubai brings certain economies of cost which, combined with contracts already in place, lead us to believe that the Qatar auction business will contribute to our overall plan to increase net earnings."
Since its first auction in Dubai in 2001, WWA has become the dominant force in the equipment auction business in the United Arab Emirates, holding more than five auctions per year with turnover per auction averaging more than $18 million.
WWA Group is a public company; its common shares trade on the OTCBB under the ticker symbol "WWAG." For further investor information, please contact Eric Montandon at 011-971-4-881-6142 or access our Web site at http://www.wwagroup.com.

WWA Group to Acquire Shipping Business Tuesday June 27, 8:05 am ET Enters First Phase of Diversified, Expanded Operations Plan
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 2006--WWA Group, Inc. (OTCBB: WWAG - News), one of the world's largest auctioneers of transportation and industrial equipment, today announced that its subsidiary World Wide Auctioneers, Ltd. (WWA), has agreed to acquire a company that owns a 3,500 dead-weight-ton shipping vessel specializing in moving heavy equipment to and from the Gulf region and India. ADVERTISEMENT
WWA has been involved with the vessel owner, under a loan and operation agreement, since June of 2004. WWA chose to convert its loan on the vessel to ownership, and the acquisition is expected to close on June 30, 2006. Details of the transaction will be reported on Form 8K upon closing.
The vessel is a 100 meter long roll on / roll off ship with heavy lift cranes and a shallow draft, making it an ideal vessel for shipping the heavy construction equipment in the Gulf that WWA specializes in trading. The vessel is chartered for the next 42 months to a freight company that handles shipping for WWA and WWA customers. The previous loan agreement and the current acquisition are based on gross revenue from the vessel charter of approximately $1,800,000 per annum, and net profit of approximately $900,000 per annum.
WWA Group CEO Eric Montandon, stated, "This strategic acquisition provides an important first step in WWA Group's plan to diversify its business into non-auction activities in the Gulf region that align with our core competencies in heavy equipment. The fixed long term revenues and profit potential from the vessel charter, and the additional shipping service we can offer to our trading customers, makes this an ideal acquisition for WWA."
