ASX & Media Release

Service Stream Cancels 40.3 million shares & completes merger

Diversified industrial services company Service Stream Limited (SSM) is pleased to announce that it has affected a selective share capital reduction and the cancellation of 40,324,308 shares.

This share cancellation will have the immediate impact of reducing the shares on issue by 22.36% and therefore will increase the net asset backing per share and the earnings per share.

The selective share capital reduction and cancellation was overwhelmingly supported at a meeting of shareholders on 18 December 2006 and was contemplated at the time of agreeing the merger between Service Stream Ltd and Total Communications Infrastructure Ltd as a means of providing additional value to shareholders.

Commenting on the share cancellation, Managing Director and CEO of SSM and the merged group, Mr Patrick Flannigan said:

"This share cancellation is the final major component of the successful merger process, the formal merger activities are now completed and the management team of SSM are now focused on integrating the two successful businesses operated by Service Stream and TCI.

The company will continue to pursue its strategic acquisition strategy assisted further by the much stronger balance sheet, earnings and cash flow capabilities of the merged entity."

The successfully completed merger brings together two of Australia's leading technical services companies in the telecommunications sector. The company and group is expected to generate annualised revenue and EBIT in excess of \$300M and \$27M respectively on a pro-forma basis for the 07 year.

The merged group is expected to generate significant benefits to customers and staff together with an expected increase in liquidity, size and focus to the capital markets and broader investment community.
