for working capital for the Company. The initial funding

Additional funding beyond the $10,000,000.00 has also been

plans to secure

the S1 Document

Electronic Bulletin Board on the New York Mercantile.
Jonathan Woods, CFO for National Automation Services, stated:
"Our progress
towards completion of the Audit is unprecedented with a
Team of six
individuals from the Auditing Firm Lynda R. Keeton and Associates
and
National Automation focused on the task which was mandated
by Bob Chance,
our CEO, and the Board of Directors as high priority.
"Mr. Chance, we thought, had the unrealistic goal of completing
the Audit
by the end of March. For a two year Audit I thought it would
take much
longer but whenever we felt the timeline was slipping, he
kept throwing
more resources our way to get us back on track and completed
on time. This
is very important to the Company so we all put in long hours,
working 7
days a week until completion. Now we are focusing on the
development of
the S1 Form which will be submitted to the SEC and NASD
for approval to
move onto the Exchange. Special thanks to Lynda Keeton and
her Staff, they
really went above and beyond the call of duty."

ABOUT NATIONAL AUTOMATION SERVICES, INC.
From Hand Production to Automation
Before the Industrial Revolution, virtually all goods were
made by hand.
With the Industrial boom of the 1900s, the automation and
controls industry
was born to improve the quality and reduce the costs of
tedious, repetitive
tasks in the industrial plants.
Immediately after World War II, computers were born, almost
entirely for
scientific purposes. By the early '60s, computers began
to make their way
rapidly into process control and production. Automated assembly
lines took
on more and more tasks, allowing for an increasing number
of automated
processes and adjustments. By eliminating tedious tasks
usually performed
by hand, the owners of a plant realized higher quality and
more throughput,
which improved not only quality, but competitiveness as
well.
Today's Markets
Automation touches our lives without notice, from the food
we eat, to the
clothes we wear, to the building materials we use, i.e.
food, clothing, and
shelter, and almost everything else of which we consume
or come in contact
with uses automation.
Accordingly, the markets of National Automation Services,
Inc. are vast.
They include waste/water treatment, airport security systems,
bottling
plants, power plants, metals, mining, breweries, food processing,
tire
making, textiles, plastics, i.e. virtually all production
activities.
Although there are a handful of very large automation and
controls
companies, the industry is highly fragmented with about
286 companies of
modest size in the U.S., privately owned, and local in nature,
and
totalling approximately $32 billion in annual gross sales.
A handful of larger automation companies dominate the market
as they offer
national as well as worldwide support for the Corporate
and Government
Clients they serve. Overall the automation industry in the
U.S. alone tops
the $400 billion mark each year which is largely serviced
by this handful
of firms.
Where We Are Going
NAS intends to build a nationwide company through acquisitions
and internal
growth in this fragmented market. We believe that our growing
company will
retain healthy margins and produce attractive increases
in earnings per
share during the period of this Plan. Our estimate is that
we will
immediately produce cost savings of 12-15% on each acquisition,
thereby
driving consolidated EBITDA and earnings per share. Furthermore,
NAS, by
utilizing the expertise of the group, the sharing of national
contracts and
proven revenue enhancement techniques, has the goal of doubling
the gross
sales of each acquisition in the first 12 months of the
date of each
acquisition.
The Company currently focuses on:
Industrial Automation and Control. NAS has an experienced
staff of
electrical and control engineers, as well as project managers,
with
experience in industrial automation and controls. The Company's
business is
currently focused in Nevada, Arizona and Utah, but it intends
to expand
through internal growth and acquisitions throughout the
U.S. during 2007
and 2008.
Automation Manufacturing. The Company is a certified Underwriters
Laboratories Panel fabrication facility. This nationally
recognized
regulatory body provides NAS with significant marketplace
credibility for
custom control panel assembly and fabrication to its clients.
