PRESS RELEASE 05.22.07
ZUNICOM, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2007 FINANCIAL RESULTS


Dallas, Texas, May 22, 2007 – Zunicom, Inc. (OTCBB: ZNCM.OB) parent company to AlphaNet Hospitality Systems, Inc. (“AlphaNet”) and formerly (now 40% owner) of Universal Power Group, Inc. (“UPG”) today announced its financial results for quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Zunicom reported 2007 first quarter revenues of $385,852 (generated by AlphaNet) compared to $21,197,221 (of which $456,597 was generated by AlphaNet) for the similar period in 2006. Consolidated net income attributable to common stockholders for this period was $104,096, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $452,278, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share for the 2006 period.

UPG accounted for 98% of our consolidated revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. However, as a result of UPG's initial public offering that closed on December 27, 2006, we no longer consolidate UPG's revenues with ours. We now employ the equity method of accounting to reflect our investment in UPG and our share of UPG's results of operations for reporting periods based on our remaining 40% equity interest in UPG.

AlphaNet's revenues continue to decrease because of the decline in usage of its InnfaxTM product and non-renewals of InnFaxTM contracts as well as a decrease in usage and installations of its "The Office" product.
