In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database.

CINCINNATI, OH -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/17/07 -- Packaged Home Solutions, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PKGH) www.packagedhomesolutions.com -- ("PHS" or "The Company") is today
announcing that it has agreed to terms to purchase a 29-year-old
residential home services company headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida.
The acquisition will be completed later this week. PHS will be acquiring J
& Y Wheeler, Inc., a regional company with market presence in Southern
Georgia and Northeast Florida. The company has grown from a small family
owned business started in 1978 to a diversified operation with retail
locations in Jacksonville, FL and Hinesville, GA.
At present, Wheeler focuses on three areas of home improvement related
products and services:
(1) offering a full-line of exterior products in both of its retail
locations;
(2) interior renovation; and
(3) "installed only" services for national home improvement retailers
and manufacturers throughout its current geographical coverage area.
In addition, PHS will be merging its own existing kitchen and bath division
in Jacksonville with the acquired company's existing operations to produce
a product and service offering in their entire regional coverage area, to
include: Sunrooms, Screen Rooms, Vinyl and Hurricane Windows, Seamless
Aluminum Gutters, Gutter Protection, Vinyl Siding, Design, Kitchen and Bath
Remodeling, Roofing and Exterior/Interior Entry Doors.
Five key managers from Wheeler's have agreed to stay on with the company
following its acquisition by PHS, bringing with them some 100+ years of
industry experience, which include senior management positions with Sears,
Home Depot and Owens Corning. Such continuity in personnel will allow for a
deliberate and steady transition, giving the Company the ability to
effectively blend all products and services throughout Wheeler's coverage
area in 2007.
This acquisition further develops the Company's strategy of combining fixed
expenses and resources with proven home improvement companies in certain
geographical areas, while developing uniformed multiple income streams in
multiple locations, thereby enhancing revenues through cross-marketing to
their own end-users and those of national retailers, at a reduced cost
stemming from the consolidation of fixed expenses. Wheeler, without
consideration of further expansion and synergies, is projecting gross
revenues of $4.5 million, with an expected net profit of 14% to 16% in
2007.
Dan Smith, President of PHS in announcing the acquisition stated, "The
acquisition of a company such as this is exciting in that it brings three
vital components to the table; strong, effective and proven management, a
multi-faceted income stream approach that fits well with our one-stop shop
objectives for our homeowners; as well as the enhancement of our installed
only labor-based initiative aimed at providing various national home
improvement retail chains with the best solution for their customers. It
reduces our labor cost, which equates to an even more competitive price,
while protecting and even improving our margins. As indicated by our recent
announcements, we are in full implementation of our external acquisition
strategy, as well as our internal growth program. The combination of both
strategies should allow us to achieve our objective of being one of the
largest, if not the largest, home improvement services companies in the
United States by the end of 2007. We will be announcing our financial
guidance for 2007 before the end of January, and we are sure that our
shareholders will be pleased."
