Press Release

Intercosmos Media Group Inc. Garners National Recognition

New Orleans, LA – Intercosmos Media Group Inc. is the 34th fastest growing entrepreneurial company in America, according to Entrepreneur Magazine’s 10th Annual Hot 100.

Its fast track to success began in February 1999 when Sigmund Solares, Noah Lieske, Michael Gardner and Matthew Smith founded the company. Since its inception, Intercosmos Media Group has grown from one employee to 56. Intercosmos grossed $15.1million in 2003 alone, primarily on domain name registrations through its registration website, directNIC.com. The company’s success can be attributed to Intercosmos’s commitment to listening to customer needs and offering both excellent products and support. The company also has shown a high commitment to its employees, which is cited by CEO Sigmund J. Solares, J.D., as a significant factor in its success.

“We were happily surprised to be chosen for this distinction,” Solares said. “Intercosmos is an excellent company worthy of our best efforts, and it’s clear we earn our more than 400,000 clients’ trust.”

Qualifications for the distinction of being named to the Entrepreneur’s Hot 100 included the company being formed after 1998, having more than $1 million in annual sales for 2003, and having a founder who is actively involved in daily operations and who has a controlling interest in the business.

“We are just getting started really. Expect to see profound growth in the years to come, especially in the paid hosting and corporate Internet services arenas,” Solares said.

For additional information, contact Intercosmos Media Group Inc. at (504) 679-5170 or visit www.intercosmos.com
