CHARYS ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

ATLANTA -- March 29, 2005 -- Charys Holding Company, Inc. ("Charys") (OTC BB: CHYS.OB), a holding company targeting the Integrated Infrastructure Services market, announced operating results for its third quarter and the nine-month fiscal period ended January 31, 2005. For the nine months, net revenues were $3.925 million with a net loss of $690,000, or $0.146 per share. For the third quarter ended January 31, 2005, net revenues totaled $975,000 with a net loss of $822,000 or $0.16 per share.

Operating results were negatively impacted by two factors during the quarter. First, Charys incurred a one-time, non-cash, non-reoccurring expense when it issued 250,000 common shares to a non-employee as compensation for services rendered under a consulting agreement. The fair market value of the shares issued was $438,000. Second, Charys’ largest subsidiary, which is involved in employee leasing, experienced some revenue decline during the quarter due mainly to seasonal factors affecting certain existing customers.

Selected results of operations for the three months and the nine months ended January 31, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

"We continue to execute as we have planned," said Billy Ray, Chairman and CEO of Charys. "Charys has added three companies in less than a year, which is in line with our model. The full impact of integrating these companies has yet to be realized we have added is anticipated to be generating operating profits, which, when complete, will give credence to the long-term viability of the integrated infrastructure model."

On March 4, 2005, Charys completed the acquisition of CCI Telecom, Inc. ("CCI"), which operates in the telecommunications infrastructure services business. Headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, the company has 135 employees and satellite offices in Dallas, Houston, and Lee, Massachusetts. CCI specializes in the development and construction of cellular towers, telephone switching facilities and advanced radar installations.

"CCI is our first platform company. We expect to see growth from additional acquisitions under the CCI name," Mr.added Ray added. CCI’s results will be reported for two months in the 2005 fiscal year2005. The first quarter of fiscal 2006, which ends July 31, 2005, will be the first quarter fully reporting CCI results.
