Sleepy Hollow, NY.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 24, 2004—SmetcoWorld HQ, Inc. , a leading conglomerate, today announced the Company will expand its workforce by a record 50% in 2005. This expansion is to relieve the firm's two employees of a heavy workload by adding a young but effective workforce in order to meet future overall market conditions.

"We are pleased to have the opportunity to expand the firm in this manner with an extra employee that is expected to be added in the May 2005 timeframe," said Ron Smetana, Chief Executive Officer and President for the SmetcoWorld Headquarters. "This initial employee is a milestone for us as we enter into a new and significant life experience. This new addition to the Smetana family based in Sleepy Hollow, NY will make it the fastest growing Smetana family in NY, if not the entire country (and possibly the world).

"Although details are still unknown about this new employee, we are sure that he or she will be of the utmost quality in terms of cuteness and intelligence" said Jennifer Smetana, CFO and M.O.M. "At this time, we do not expect any competitors to match or exceed the quality of this new employee." It is unknown at this time whether this new employee is expected to be immediately productive or whether there will be a few years before the new employee can be expected to take care of general household duties.

Very cute pictures will be available shortly and will be able to be requested directly from the SmetcoWorld website (www.smetcoworld.com).
