            CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS


      This report on Form 8-K contains "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend the forward-looking statements to be
covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these
sections. All statements regarding our expected financial position, business and
financing plans are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes
be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as "may," "will,"
"should," "expect," "anticipate," "project," "designed," "estimate," "plan" or
"continue." Although we believe that our expectations in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot promise that our expectations will turn out
to be correct. These forward-looking statements generally relate to plans and
objectives for future operations and are based upon reasonable estimates and
assumptions regarding future results or trends. These forward looking statements
are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our
operations and results of operations, competitive factors in our industry,
economic conditions, regulatory and technological developments and other risks
and uncertainties that may be beyond our control. Such risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, availability of capital to finance future
capital expenditures necessary to maintain and expand our operations, the
implementation of our business strategies, as well as numerous other risks and
uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize,
or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our future performance and
actual results of operations may vary significantly from those that we
anticipate or project.

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

      On July 11, 2001, Financial Intranet, Inc. ("Financial Intranet" or the
"Company") completed its acquisition of all the outstanding capital stock of
Technest.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Technest"), pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated March 21, 2001, among Financial
Intranet, Technest and all of the stockholders of Technest (the "Agreement").
The stockholders of Technest have received an aggregate of 33,450,000 shares of
Financial Intranet's common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares
of Technest common stock owned by them. Technest is now a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Financial Intranet. The 33,450,000 shares of Financial Intranet
common stock issued to the Technest stockholders is equal to approximately 90%
of the total number of Financial Intranet shares of common stock currently
outstanding.

      On March 19, 2001, the Board of Directors of Financial Intranet approved a
1-for-35 reverse split of Financial Intranet's common stock. After the reverse
split became effective on April 2, 2001, Financial Intranet possessed only
10,000,000 shares of common stock available for issuance to Technest's
stockholders. To complete the transaction, on March 19, 2001, Financial
Intranet's Board of Directors unanimously approved, and recommended to Financial
Intranet's stockholders, an amendment to Financial Intranet's Articles of
Incorporation to increase the number of the company's authorized shares of
common stock to 500,000,000 (the "Authorized Share Increase"). On June 14, 2001,
the Company filed a Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A describing the
items to be presented to the stockholders for approval. On June 28, 2001,
holders of a majority of Financial Intranet's outstanding shares of common stock
voted on and approved, among other things, (i) a change of name from "Financial
Intranet, Inc." to "Technest Holdings, Inc." and (ii) the Authorized Share
Increase. The name change and the Authorized Share Increase became effective on
July 9, 2001, upon the filing of the Company's Certificate of Amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. On July 11, 2001,
Financial Intranet delivered the remaining 23,450,000 shares of its common stock
it owed to the Technest stockholders under the Agreement.

                                  Press Release



FINANCIAL INTRANET ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION

Business Editors

ATLANTA -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Aug. 6, 2001 -- Technest Holdings, Inc., formerly
FINANCIAL INTRANET, INC. ("THNS OTCBB" hereinafter referred to as "TECHNEST
HOLDINGS, INC."), an Internet content provider, has announced the change of its
corporate name and the completion of the acquisition of all of the outstanding
capital stock of Technest.com, Inc.

The common stock of Technest Holdings, Inc. will trade under the symbol "THNS"
on the OTC bulletin board. The name change was approved by the Stockholders of
Financial Intranet, Inc. at its annual Stockholder Meeting held at its new
Corporate offices in Atlanta, GA, June 28, 2001.

At the closing of this transaction, which occurred on July 11, 2001, holders
of Technest.com, Inc. common stock received an aggregate of 33,450,000 shares
of Financial Intranet's common stock, which represents approximately 90% of
Financial Intranet's outstanding common stock in exchange for all the
outstanding shares or 100% of the common stock of Technest. This transaction
occurred under the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated March
21, 2001 among Financial Intranet, Inc., Technest.com, Inc. and the
stockholders of Technest.com, Inc.

Technest.com, Inc., a subsidiary of Technest Holdings, Inc., invests in
development stage companies with potential high rates of growth. These
portfolio companies develop innovative products and services with a wide range
of commercial applications. Technest Holdings, Inc., through its subsidiary,
assists in the growth of these portfolio companies and also develops strategies
for the realization of returns on its investments through a variety of methods.
Technest Holdings, Inc. also expects to enhance earnings through short-term
investing.

Michael Sheppard, President and Chief Operating Officer of Technest Holdings,
Inc., said, "We hope Technest Holdings, Inc. will move forward at an
accelerated pace now that we have completed the acquisition. As I indicated
before, I view this acquisition as giving us an unprecedented opportunity. We
are different from other companies that invest in development or early stage
companies. We expect to take full advantage of the current marketplace to make
investments that should provide value, both in the near and long term."

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

Statements in this press release that are not historical may be deemed
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although THNS believes the expectations
reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable
assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from THNS's
expectations include completion of pending investments, continued availability
of funds to originate new investment, the availability and cost of capital for
future investments, competition within the industry, economic conditions and
other risks detailed from time to time in THNS's SEC reports. The financial
information with respect to the 2001 financials of Technest.com, Inc. have been
provided to Technest Holdings, Inc. by Technest.com, Inc. and have not been
audited or verified independently at this time.
