Oraco Acquires iAlarm and Prepares for Digital Services Expansion into West Africa

ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Oraco Resources, Inc. (OTC-QB:ORAC) today announced the purchase of iAlarm, Inc., a domestic home security provider whose innovative Smart Home product is one of the first to integrate home automation and remote management with traditional threat monitoring functionality.

iAlarm's home security platform will serve as the foundation of the forthcoming Oraco digital services offering that will also include digital voice and wireless broadband Internet access. Oraco expects to debut these digital services by early 2014 in West Africa under the name One Communications, and will aggressively expand service to surrounding markets once strategic penetration levels are achieved.

Brad Rosen, Oraco's President and CEO, stated that "With our relationships in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, Ghana, The Ivory Coast and Equatorial Guinea, to name a few, this opportunity puts us in a virtually untapped market offering Mobile Communications, Digital Telephone, High-Speed Broadband Service and Smart Home Technology. We are also excited that this endeavor will not only benefit Oraco, but will also create a significant number of employment opportunities for people in West Africa, and that these jobs will be in the areas that require knowledge and education in new and ever changing technologies."

"We've been operating sustainable enterprises in West Africa since the early 1990's," says Chris Butchko, Oraco's EVP and COO, "and our commitment to the cultivation of community-enriching industry in West Africa has given us a unique insight into the needs, trends, and opportunities among the people here. We understand how to successfully execute a digital services plan in West Africa."

Since the early 1990's Oraco's team has worked with local and national West African leaders to supply rough diamonds and gold to the world market. Through its relationships and operational philosophy, Oraco has emerged as a pioneer in, and leading proponent of, responsible mineral sourcing and sustainable West African enterprise.

Oraco will execute the purchase through a Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between its wholly owned subsidiary, Oracom, Inc., and iAlarm. Upon Closing of the transaction, iAlarm will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oraco.
