United America Corporation (Pink Sheets:UAMA) announced today that it has acquired the New York Telecom Exchange, Inc. (NYTEX) in a stock for stock transaction. United American Corporation (UAC) will issue 54,547,432 of its common shares for all issued and outstanding shares of NYTEX.

NYTEX has developed an algorithm which is used to commoditize telecommunications minutes. NYTEX has also developed the trading of blocks of minutes and when used in conjunction with the algorithm allows minutes to be traded like any other commodity as in other mercantile exchanges. NYTEX expects that a financial ecosystem will continue to grow around its platform to include brokers, carriers, network operators as well as being able to finance network operators using their blocks of minutes.

Since its official launch in June 2009, NYTEX has transacted over 15,000 blocks of minutes, some 400 million minutes for a value of over $20 million.

Over $2 million has been invested in the development of NYTEX, its platform and network infrastructure. The operation is currently profitable.

NYTEX has begun the process of patenting its technologies -- the algorithm and block trading. It has also started the process of getting its public filings up to date and again become fully reporting. All necessary actions are being undertaken to have UAC's name changed to the New York Telecom Exchange and an application has been made to have UAC's trading symbol reflect the name change.

There are no plans in the near future for any share restructuring.

Lawry Trevor-Deutsch, President of UAC stated, "After spinning off Teliphone Inc. from United American Corporation in 2006, we have been looking for new opportunities to bring additional value to UAC shareholders. We believe the acquisition of NYTEX will provide this value and potential for growth in the growing telecom market. NYTEX intends to take the lead in an emerging telecommunications financial ecosystem using the proprietary technology it has developed over the last 3 years combined with industry deregulation."
