Union Dental Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: UDHI) -- http://www.uniondental.com/ir -- a national provider of a suite of dental services to union members and dentists, has released this update in an effort to provide its shareholders with a greater understanding of its business plan and its corporate strategy over the coming year.

Union Dental consists of two primary businesses:

    1. The Union Dental Network (the "Dental Network"). The Dental Network
       was an idea conceived by our CEO more than 20 years ago. The idea
       was simple: to provide union members with excellent dental care by
       networking large numbers of dentists in various locations all over
       the country. In order to execute on this idea, Union Dental would
       need to convince both unions and dentists to participate. Twenty
       years later, Union Dental has attracted the likes of the
       Communications Workers of America (CWA), the International
       Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) the United Association of
       Plumbers and Pipe Fitters (UA), National Federation of Public and
       Private Employees (NFOPAPE), Fraternal Order of Police (FOP),
       International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) and The
       Association of Flight Attendants - Communications Workers of America
      (AFA-CWA). These groups comprise some of the largest unions in
       America. In terms of membership, our unions under contract number
       120 of the 1,200 local CWA labor unions. Of the 120 local labor
       unions and their 120,000 membership together with their families has
       dental services purchasing power in excess of $192,000,000 per year.
       CWA alone has approximately 3,200,000 insured offering much room for
       expansion.

       As a result of the purchasing power of our union worker customers,
       we have been able to build networks of dentists all over America.
       Today, there are a total of 1,900 dental providers that participate
       in our Dental Network. Each dentist pays an annual fee of up to
       $5,000 in order to control "areas of exclusivity" for a particular
       group of union worker customers.

       Union Dental believes that going forward, the Dental Network will be
       successful and grow as long as it can execute on a four prong
       strategy.

           -- Union Dental has expanded and moved into its new Coral
              Springs facility where they have become a Total Service
              Provider (TSP) and offers patients all aspects of dentistry
              including General Dentistry, Periodontics, Pedodontics,
              Implants, Endodontics, Orthodontics, Cosmetic Dentistry, Oral
              Surgery and Sedation Dentistry

           -- Union Dental will continue to cherish its relationships with
              the unions in America and build additional relationships with
              local, regional and national unions.

           -- The purchasing power of the Dental Network's union member
              customers will make it easier for Union Dental to execute on
              the second prong of the strategy -- to bring on additional
              dentists. Over the course of the next 12 to 24 months, the
              Company hopes to add approximately 1,000 new dentists to the
              Dental Network.

           -- The last part of the strategy is to cross sell our dentists
              and provide them with access to additional union worker
              customers by buying additional "areas of exclusivity." This
              is to say that when we already have an established network in
              a locale, and we add a new union for that same locale,
              approximately 90% of the existing dentists pay an
              additional fee to gain access to the new union worker
              customer base. The ability to attract new dentists to the
              Dental Network with relatively minimal marketing costs is
              very powerful.

    2. Union Dental has its own dental facility with 12 operatories and
       a full service laboratory to make all prosthetics for the dental
       industry. The Company intends to add local labor unions like the
       Fraternal Order of Police and the National Federation of Public
       and Private Employees to use the Coral Springs facility. In this
       manner, UDHI can compile insurance reimbursement records of
       insurance companies, providing these policies to union members.
       Once UDHI has complete documentation of the reimbursements, it will
       be able to sign additional union contracts in other local areas and
       it will offer these unions and services to all dentists in the local
       network. The initial plan will start in Broward County then expand
       to the other adjacent counties in Florida before "rolling out" the
       plan nationwide in the next 24 months.
