leading provider of nationwide Internet yellow pages and related services,
reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $6,849,044 compared to
$2,839,438 for the comparable period ended March 31, 2002, an increase of over
140%. The increase in revenue is principally the result of an increase in the
number of Internet advertising customers. At March 31, 2003, the company had
approximately 279,071 Internet advertising customers compared to approximately
86,000 customers at March 31, 2002, an increase of approximately 220%. The
increase in Internet advertising customers is due to the continued success of
our marketing program. YP.Net utilizes direct mailings as its primary marketing
program and this Internet advertising generates its principal revenue.

Income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was
$2,504,774, compared to $828,390 in the comparable period in 2002, an increase
of approximately 200%. The increased income is a result of additional Internet
advertising customers and the reduction of costs relating to acquiring these
customers. Therefore, the pre-tax margin for the three months ended March 31,
2003 increased to 36.5% from 29.1% in the comparable period in 2002.

Angelo Tullo, YP.Net's CEO, commented, "Our second quarter financial results
represent the continuation of management's strategy to build the YP.Net
franchise and to become the Internet `yellow pages' of choice to businesses and

approached our results for the entire previous fiscal year. We are very pleased
for our shareholders."

2003 versus a provision of $208,102 for the comparable period in 2002. According
to David J. Iannini, YP.Net's CFO, "The company no longer has any net operating
loss carryforwards to offset our pre-tax profits. Therefore, the tax provision
as a percent of pre-tax income is higher than last year's comparable period."

Net profits for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $1,504,921, or $0.03
per share, compared to net profits of $620,288, or $0.01 per share in the
