on November 21, 2006

Leader Technologies Incorporated ("Leader®") was founded
in 1997 by veteran entrepreneur Michael T. McKibben with
headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. Mike had just come off of a
project for AT&T where he led the re-development of their Windows
messaging system in cooperation with AT&T Bell Labs. He had a
vision for a new kind of web-based communications platform that
would overcome the "data silo" problem that has plagued
communications technologies, sometimes called collaboration
technology. This vision included how technology would be used in
the future to support two key organizational values: leadership and
intellectual capital retention. He determined that these three
value propositions could be united into a single, scalable web
platform and Leader was born.

Chairman & Founder

Leader® develops and markets web-based collaboration platforms that merge voice and data.
These platforms build upon the global Internet backbone and provide a single, highly interactive
web control console and unified data repository. Large, medium and small businesses can
manage email, voice mail, fax, teleconferencing, web conferencing, file sharing, documents,
video, voting, chat, instant messaging, whiteboarding, projection, bulletin boards, news, alerts,
project management, systems administration, operator services and directory services in a
revolutionary new way. Traditional data and voice platforms deliver these services separately in
fragmented applications and data silos at approximately ten times the cost of the Leader
solutions.
Leader products and services are offered by subscription to Leader-hosted servers or through
platform licenses for large customers. Leader launched Leader Phone® in 2002 and Leader
Alert® and Leader Meeting™ in 2004. The Leader Dialog® tolled dial-in audio conferencing
option was launched in 2006. LeaderPhone®'s Web 2.0 control console offers customers many
power features as well as billing and account information. These products are sold through
direct sales and a sales affiliate network. Web conferencing services have been added that
include desktop sharing, application sharing, co-browsing, whiteboarding, chat, and video
conferencing. To read more on Web 2.0, also known at the Semantic Web, we point you to

Leader2Leader® (aka Digital Leaderboard®) is the flagship product and is currently
launched to a select group of customers. Leader2Leader® provides a complete work
environment framework for all forms of electronic communications (data types) using state-ofthe-art web services protocols such as XML. Large enterprises will find immediate use of this
scalable system for project management, remote file sharing, customer service applications,
web conferencing, teleconferencing and communications where their intranets do not service
their constituents well. Medium and small businesses will embrace the full platform as an
alternative to more expensive, locally installed solutions requiring regular systems
administration, maintenance and upgrades. Remote and geographically disbursed workers and
organizations will find the platform powerful in its utility and simplicity due to the ability to
establish secure, online collaborative environment. Corporate alternatives involve buying and
installing expensive software packages, configuring user machines, learning a separate
interface for each application, then having to deal with the inconvenience of continual upgrades.
With Leader2Leader®, once you have a UserID and Password, you are up and running from
any Internet browser or wireless handheld device on the planet. Digital Leaderboard® was
awarded its first patent - U.S. Patent No. 7139761 - on November 21, 2006. You are welcome
