Viva International Addresses Late Year End Filing

Viva International, Inc. (OTC BB: VIVI) issued a press release this morning indicating that an "E" has been added to its symbol (VIVI) due to its 10KSB having been filed without the prerequisite financial audit and accompanying opinion by the Company's outside auditing firm. The press release indicated that arrangements are in progress that will provide for the audit to take place over the next few weeks to result in an amended 10KSB for 2005 to be filed shortly thereafter. Management indicated that the first quarter accounting for the period ended March 31, 2006 is expected to be available to the auditing firm prior to their completion of the 2005 year end audit. Management expressed confidence that this matter is under control and will not adversely affect the Company's previously announced plans to restart operations through its Eastern Caribbean Airlines subsidiary upon completion of required pilot training.
