PRESS RELEASE PowerTel to Acquire Theme Communications ---------------------------------------- January 30, 1997 Santa Barbara, California Power Tel USA, Inc. ("PTUSA"-NASDAQ) announced today, it's name changed to PowerTel USA, Inc., from Nevada Energy Company, Inc. (formerly "NNRGA"-NASDAQ) effective January 3, 1997 and that a 1 for 6 reverse split of its Class A Common shares, will become effective on Friday, January 31, 1997. A binding letter of intent was entered into whereby PowerTel (the "Company") would acquire various shares and assets from Theme Publishing and Communications Group (Theme) for $4.0 Million in cash, common stock and preferred shares. Revenues for Theme were approximately $10.7 Million for 1996 with net profit in the 6% range. The assets being purchased from the Theme stockholders include video and CD duplication and electronic publishing services for such clients as Chase, Citibank and Bank of America as well as a contract publishing group. Theme, said it is possible that PowerTel may negotiate a sale to current management of several magazines which consist of in-flight, destination and food 2 and wine publications. A PowerTel spokesman said "With these acquisitions, we expect a revenue increase to approximately $15.0 million during 1997, and PowerTel would become a broader based communications company." The Company expects to announce new management changes and additions to its board. Closing and funding of the Theme transaction is expected to occur by February 15 1997. Following the reverse split and the purchase of the Theme assets there would be approximately 4.0 million Class A shares of PowerTel traded on NASDAQ small cap. PowerTel said its plans for growth and consolidation in the communication's arena had become more broadly aimed and that the Company expects to make further related purchases during the next ninety (90) days.
