FPN Announces Annual Financial Results and Stock Option Grants

Toronto, Ont. (October 27, 2006) – Fifty-Plus.Net International Inc. today announced the financial results for its year ended June 30, 2006.

Net income for the year was $266,682 compared to net income of $162,427 in 2005. In line with the previously released sales estimate, the Company recorded its fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, with sales of $1,006,938 for the year, which exceeded 2005 revenues of $844,845 by 19%. This largely resulted from the introduction of a new sales and marketing team in the latter part of the fiscal year and increased emphasis on driving more sales from display advertisers.

Expenses for the year were $740,256 compared to $682,418 for last year. This increase is primarily attributable to increased wages and benefits for new personnel hired in the second quarter to redesign the website and to increase revenues and profitability going forward, offset in part by the forgiveness of accrued management and directors fees of $204,694 during the third quarter.

This past year the Company has devoted much of its resources to improvements to its content management system and has replaced all of the legacy website as well as adding a numbr of e-commerce initiatives. The Company has also revamped all of its newsletter offerings and increased its list populations. In addition after the year end, the company introduced Blogs as a replacement to the previous forum technology.

As of June 30, 2006 the Company had cash on hand of $88,208 (June 30, 2005 – $19,269) and working capital (excluding the current portion of deferred revenue) of $103,931 versus a deficiency of $241,758 on June 30, 2005.
