<p><strong>INCA PACIFIC RESOURCES SELECTS PANDESA SHAREVAULT&trade; FOR DUE DILIGENCE DOCUMENT SHARING FOR THE MAGISTRAL PROJECT IN PERU</strong></p>
<p><strong>Canadian mineral exploration company praises ShareVault&#8217;s ease-of-use, rapid setup, speed and ability to handle very large files</strong></p>
<p>San Jose, CA, October 25, 2007 <strong>—</strong> Pandesa Corporation recently announced that Inca Pacific Resources (www.incapacific.com) is using Pandesa&#8217;s ShareVault&trade; on-demand virtual deal room to securely share documents during the due diligence process in connection with its Magistral Copper-Molybdenum project in Peru.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Having been selected by Inca Pacific Resources for this application requiring high-speed access to very large mine models is further confirmation of the confidence our customers have in the speed and capability of the ShareVault platform&#8221; said Richard Andersen, CEO of Pandesa Corporation. </em></p>
<p><strong>Due diligence documents on-demand from a secure web-based platform</strong><br />
ShareVault&trade;, an on-demand web-based virtual deal room, was developed for securely sharing deal-related documents during due diligence.  Teams from both sides of the deal are able to securely share deal-related content.  Entirely web-based, ShareVault allows users to login and securely access content via a web browser.</p>
<p><strong>High Speed Access to Large Files</strong><br />
Geological data often includes large data files such as deposit models, maps and engineering drawings, in addition to standard file formats such as PDF, Word, Excel, etc.  ShareVault&#8217;s ability to provide fast upload and download speeds as well as the robust and secure data transfer protocol, allow customers to provide fast, reliable file access, especially important for virtual data rooms in the resource and energy sectors.</p>
<p><strong>High-Grade Security and Reliability</strong><br />
Security features include 128-bit encryption, document-level access control, PDF rights management and audit trail capabilities. ShareVault is delivered from a SAS-70 part II compliant data center, with hardware and infrastructure redundancy, to ensure the high-grade reliability needed for critical deals.  In addition, Pandesa ShareVault is backed with a comprehensive security model, incorporating policies and procedures based on industry best practices.</p>
<p><strong>Ease-of-Use</strong><br />
Inca Pacific cited ShareVault&#8217;s straightforward setup and configuration, the ease of searching for specific content, as well as the use of the industry-standard PDF format for secure document sharing as important factors in their selection of ShareVault.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;We were impressed at how quickly we had the ShareVault site up-and-running&#8221; said Ward Kilby of Cal Data Ltd., administrator of the Magistral virtual data room.  &#8220;This project required a secure, easy-to-use virtual data room that could handle large files easily.  We&#8217;ve been using the system now for 8 months, and it has been smooth sailing the whole way, including the superb support from Pandesa&#8221;.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;The alternative to our VDR would have been a physical data room with the associated travel costs or numerous versions of data DVDs being sent around the world. ShareVault has provided us with superior data control and our potential joint venture partners with simplified data access&#8221; said Anthony Floyd, CEO of Inca Pacific.</em></p>
<p><strong>ShareVault&trade; capabilities</strong><br />
Documents are uploaded via a high-speed, encrypted connection by dragging and dropping multiple files and/or entire folders. For paper documents, secure scanning services are also available with turnaround times of a few days. Documents uploaded to the ShareVault are automatically converted to PDF with support for more than 300 file types including Microsoft Word®, Excel®, PowerPoint®, Project®, Visio® and hundreds of others.

<p><strong>Positive Customer Feedback</strong><br />
<em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s yet another happy ShareVault customer.  Our growing customer base is affirmation that ShareVault&#8217;s speed, intuitive search-based user interface and rock solid security / reliability are just what the market has been wanting for this important aspect of the due diligence process&#8221;, said John Badger, VP of Marketing and Product Management.</em></p>

<p><strong>VARIAN MEDICAL ADOPTS PANDESA SHAREVAULT™ VIRTUAL DATA ROOM FOR ACQUISITION DUE DILIGENCE</strong></p>
<p><strong>Leading cancer treatment equipment manufacturer praises speed of setup, ease-of-use and robustness</strong></p>
<p>Cupertino, CA, January 29, 2007 — Pandesa Corporation recently announced that Varian Medical Systems&#8217;  Business  Development department is using Pandesa&#8217;s ShareVault™ on-demand virtual deal room as a document sharing platform  its planned acquisition of Germany&#8217;s ACCEL Instruments, GmbH, announced in early January. &#8220;We&#8217;re very pleased to have been selected by Varian Medical for this mission-critical M&amp;A process, for which ShareVault is being used internationally,&#8221; said Richard Andersen, president and CEO of Pandesa Corporation.</p>
<p><strong>Due diligence documents on-demand from a secure web-based platform</strong><br />
ShareVault™, an on-demand web-based virtual deal room, was developed for geographically-dispersed teams, such as the one working on the due diligence for the planned ACCEL acquisition.  Varian employees in multiple locations, consultants and law firms in several countries, as well as members of the ACCEL 	team, are all able to securely share content.  &#8220;I was pleased by how quickly we were able to set up the virtual data room, and securely distribute essential documents to the right members of the geographically-dispersed deal team. 	We compressed the time typically required for pre-term sheet due diligence by using the ShareVault platform,&#8221; said Andy Thorson, Varian&#8217;s VP of Business Development.</p>
<p><strong>Speed of deployment and adoption</strong><br />
Varian cited ShareVault&#8217;s rapid configuration capability, easy-to-use drag-and-drop file upload technology, the ease of searching for specific content and automated on-the-fly PDF conversion capabilities as important factors in their selection of ShareVault.  &#8220;I set up the ShareVault in just a few hours with minimal help from Pandesa,&#8221; said Jean Qiu, Varian&#8217;s manager of Business Development who was responsible for setting up and configuring the deal room. &#8220;Our deal team was able to start using the platform without any training because the program is robust and intuitive. For me, the most important thing was that members of the team could access the content without additional support. I&#8217;m not an IT person, yet I was able to set things up for team members to securely share 	critical documents.  That has allowed our small business development team to remain focused on due diligence and on the specifics of the deal itself.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>ShareVault™ capabilities</strong><br />
Documents are uploaded via a high-speed, encrypted connection by dragging and dropping multiple files and/or entire folders. For paper documents, secure scanning services are also available with turnaround times of a few days. Documents uploaded to the ShareVault are automatically converted to PDF with support for more than 300 file types including Microsoft Word®, Excel®, PowerPoint®, Project®, Visio® and hundreds of 	others. ShareVault™ contents are organized via a flexible, tag-based 	structure, supporting due-diligence list terms and/or other deal-related processes. Customizable access control assures that each document is available only to users with appropriate privileges.  ShareVault also features a tightly integrated full-text search engine, visual content browsing and in-place editing of tags and permissions.  Detailed activity tracking and reporting are also included, providing a permanent record of who has seen what documents and when.</p>
<p><strong>High-Grade Security and Reliability</strong><br />
Security features include 128-bit encryption, document-level access control, PDF rights management and audit trail capabilities. ShareVault is delivered from a SAS-70 part II compliant data center, with hardware and infrastructure 	redundancy, to ensure the high-grade reliability needed for critical deals.</p>

<p><strong>PANDESA ANNOUNCES SHAREVAULT - THE <em>HIGH VELOCITY</em> VIRTUAL DATA ROOM</strong></p>
<p><strong>Next Generation Virtual Data Room Incorporates Web 2.0 Technology, Allowing Users To Rapidly Deploy a Secure Repository For Deal-Related Documents</strong></p>
<p>Cupertino, CA, November 14, 2006 &mdash; Pandesa Corporation today announced the availability of Pandesa ShareVault, the company&#8217;s on-demand virtual deal room for across-the-firewall document sharing during mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, technology licensing, complex real estate deals, syndicated loans, and other high-value transactions.</p>
<p><strong>Up and running in hours, not days</strong><br />
ShareVault is the first virtual data room that users can deploy themselves, right from the ShareVault Web site. A step-by-step wizard guides the user through the ShareVault configuration process. Documents are uploaded via a fast, encrypted connection by dragging and dropping multiple files and/or entire folders.  For paper documents, scanning services are also available.Documents uploaded to the ShareVault are automatically converted to PDF with support for more than 300 file types including Microsoft Word®, Excel®, PowerPoint®, Project®, Visio® and hundreds of others. ShareVault contents are organized via a flexible, tag-based structure, supporting due-diligence list terms and/or other deal-related processes.  ShareVault also features a tightly integrated full-text search engine, visual content browsing and in-place editing of tags and permissions.</p>
<p><strong>High-Grade Security and Reliability</strong><br />
Security features include 128-bit encryption, document-level access control, and audit trail capabilities.  ShareVault is delivered from a SAS-70 part II compliant data center, with hardware and infrastructure redundancy, to ensure the high-grade reliability needed for critical deals.</p>
<p><strong>A new breed of business application</strong><br />
ShareVault is the first virtual deal room to incorporate functionality based on &#8220;Web 2.0&#8243; - a recent movement in internet-based services toward higher interactivity.  &#8220;Our design objective was to dramatically accelerate deals by leveraging recent advancements in web-based software. We&#8217;ve incorporated state-of-the-art AJAX technology to deliver a rich, interactive user experience&#8221;, said Richard Andersen, Pandesa&#8217;s CEO. AJAX, meaning Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a software technology that delivers desktop-like functionality in a web-based application. For example, search results are 	displayed with zoom-able thumbnail images to facilitate efficient document browsing.</p>
<p><strong>Customer affirmation</strong><br />
ShareVault is already hosting important deals for a billion-dollar Silicon Valley corporation, and 	Pandesa management expects to be hosting several other major deals shortly.</p>
<p><strong>Users can try before they buy</strong><br />
After attending the webinar, users can quickly setup a ShareVault  and use it on a real deal before committing to purchase.  This &#8220;self serve&#8221; capability allows 	companies to reduce the time required to prepare for a transaction.  Interested firms can sign up for a webinar at <a href="http://www.sharevault.com/">www.sharevault.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</strong><strong>Pandesa Announces Version 2.0 of Pandesa ShareSpace&trade;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Rich, Interactive &#8220;Web 2.0&#8243; Content Sharing Service Provides Flexibility and Rapid Deployment for Managing Document Intensive Business Processes; Customers Praise Ease-of-Use and Boundaryless Accessibility.</strong></p>
<p>Cupertino, CA, August 17, 2006 - Pandesa Corporation today announced the availability of version 2.0 of Pandesa ShareSpace&trade;, the company&#8217;s on-demand business content sharing service.</p>
<p>Pandesa&#8217;s ShareSpace&trade; offering is a secure, web-based content sharing platform with an enterprise-grade full-text search capability.  Collaborating teams can easily share, store, 	find and reuse business documents in the ShareSpace. Pandesa customers are able to quickly set up and configure ShareSpaces for a variety of applications, including document management, document control, content repositories, media libraries, knowledge bases, 	digital asset management, patent libraries, and clinical data capture. Users can sign up for a free ShareSpace at www.pandesa.com, and be up-and-running in a matter of minutes. For example, marketing organizations can utilize the solution as a searchable repository for sharing presentations, brochures, white papers, drawings, images, and other digital assets.</p>
<p><strong>A new breed of business application</strong>The new release introduces a host of rich &#8220;Web 2.0&#8243; features, previously not available to business users. &#8220;Our design objective was to dramatically improve the content search and browse experience available to businesses. We&#8217;ve incorporated state-of-the-art AJAX 	technology to deliver a rich, interactive user experience similar to what consumers have 	come to expect from the latest photo sharing sites,&#8221; said John Badger, Pandesa&#8217;s VP of 	Sales and Marketing. AJAX, meaning Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a software 	technology that advanced consumer-oriented web sites have used to provide a rich user experience. For example, search results are displayed with thumbnail preview images 	showing the first page of each document, allowing users to browse content visually. The 	thumbnails are zoom-able; users mouse-over an image to instantly magnify and reveal more 	detail. This feature enables users to rapidly peruse a list of search results in order to quickly locate content. The zoom-able thumbnail feature is available for more than 300 file types including Microsoft Word®, Excel®, PowerPoint®, Project® as well as AutoCAD®, Adobe Illustrator® and many other business-oriented file formats.</p>
<p>Foster Enterprises, a real estate development firm in Redwood City, California, is using its Pandesa ShareSpace&trade; to collaborate across several of its development projects so that principals and project managers can share documents with sub-contractors, clients, consultants, local governments and other project stake holders. Dan Jones, Project Manager, explains that &#8220;Pandesa has proven to be a simple, effective, and easy-to-use data management solution which gives us the capabilities of sharing an entire office full of files with outside associates, who would normally have little or no effective means of accessing important project information on their own.  The interface is straightforward and anyone who is even remotely computer-literate will be able to use this product easily.  We now have the ability to access useful project files anytime on any computer with an internet connection.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Pandesa announces new Java publishing applet for Pandesa ShareSpace™</strong></p>
<p>Cupertino, CA, May 25, 2006 — Pandesa Corporation today announced a Java applet that enables multiple files and folders to be published simultaneously from within the Pandesa ShareSpace™ web-based application, using drag-and-drop.</p>
<p>Pandesa ShareSpace™ is an information sharing platform that allows teams to share, store, find and reuse high-value information using a refreshingly easy-to-use web-based application. Pandesa customers use the highly configurable environment as a solution for a variety of applications, including document management, document control, content repositories, media libraries, and digital asset management.  You can sign up for a free ShareSpace at <a href="http://www.pandesa.com/">www.pandesa.com</a>, and be up-and-running in a matter of minutes.</p>
<p>Most Windows-based Pandesa users have downloaded and installed Pandesa ShareSpace for 	Windows®, a &#8216;thin client&#8217; that allows users to publish multiple files, folders, emails and 	contacts using publishing feature which is directly integrated with Windows and Office.  However, 	Mac and Linux users, or Windows users who elect not to install the client software, were limited to using the HTML publishing page to publish one file at a time (a limitation of HTML).  The new Java applet allows users of any operating system to publish multiple files and  folders.</p>
<p>The applet displays three &#8216;panes&#8217; to the user.  The first pane is a scrolling window with the files and folders to be uploaded.  Users either drag-and-drop files and/or folders into this list, or click the browse button to select the files using the file browser.  The second pane is a list of available tags, configurable by the system administrator, allowing the user to attach tags to the published files.  The third pane is a checklist of user groups and users, allowing the user to specify access rights for the published content.</p>
<p>The new Java applet requires version 1.5.2+ of the Java browser plugin, available for download 	from Sun Microsystems website.  Users will also find an upgrade link directly within the Pandesa 	publishing page.</p>
<p>All new and existing Pandesa ShareSpace™ users can immediately begin using the new publishing applet.</p>
