iMedia International, Inc. IMNL released its results of operations for the
year ended December 31, 2005. The Company saw a dramatic increase in net sales
to $5.93 Million, an increase of $3.64 million or 159% over the comparable 2004
period.

In addition, the Company showed a significant improvement in gross profitability
with an increase from a negative gross loss of $252,000 to $900,000 in gross
profit. This represents an increase of $1.12 million over the comparable 2004
period. The improvement was a direct result of their increased sales to a larger
and developing client base. According to the Company, they continue to contract
custom interactive media projects with both new and repeat customers. Most
importantly, gross margin rates on these projects are now more typical of their
targeted, future anticipated margins.

"We considered 2004 and 2005 as an important start-up period where we
concentrated mainly on developing our customer acquisition programs and refining
our pilot programs," said Kevin Plate, EVP of Sales and Business Development.
"We realized that in order to attract new customers to our new media, we often
had to price our initial pilot programs below actual costs. Since we now have
several years of success, we have been able to adjust our pricing accordingly."

"We are thrilled to see the continuing escalation in our sales and gross
profitability," said David MacEachern, CEO of iMedia International. "It is
important to understand that this growth reflects only the expansion of our
custom solution business which we concentrated on during 2004 and 2005. When we
factor in the launch of our newspaper syndication program which is beginning
later this month, and our plans for a national newspaper rollout during 2006 and
2007, I am very confident that this aggressive growth will be sustained."

Total operating expenses increased $5.25 million to $8.97 million for the year
ended December 31, 2005 a 141% increase over the comparable 2004 period. The
increase is primarily attributable to an increase in selling expenses of $1.7
million or 152%, and an increase in general and Administrative expenses of $3.6
million or 166%. This compares to $6.2 million in the comparable 2004 period.

The Company attributes the increase in selling expenses directly to the increase
from three to eight full-time sales executives, and their related travel and
entertainment costs. Also, the Company was required to continue underwriting
revenue shortfalls for its Hollywood Previews Entertainment iMagazine while they
prepared to launch their national newspaper syndication rollout. This national
rollout is scheduled to begin on April 30, 2006 at which time subsidizes should
decrease as the program begins to generate new revenues.

Increases in the Company's General and Administrative expenses were primarily
due to an increase in professional fees associated with its various financings
during 2005. These included approximately $3.2 million in non-cash expenses, as
opposed to approximately $44,000 for the comparable period in 2004. The majority
of these non-cash expenses were related to non-recurring costs associated with
the issuance of common stock and warrants to prior investors, investment
bankers, to advisors and consultants, and for promotion of its ongoing financing
activities.

"We are very pleased to see the increased acceptance of our convergent media in
the marketplace and look forward to continued top-line growth during the second
half of 2006 as our newspaper syndication program comes on line," said Anthony
Fidaleo, CFO. "Despite these milestones however, we are disappointed in the
impact that the costs of financing has had on our financial statements as well
as our operations. We look forward to the national adoption of our newspaper
syndication business, and we believe that our revenue growth will begin to
offset our cash burn over the next several quarters."

During the period, the Company recorded a $12.2 million net loss, which includes
$4.1 million in non-cash other expense items. These non-cash items were
primarily related to the costs associated with the issuances of preferred stock
and the write-down of certain investments during the year ended December 31,
2005. The increase in non-cash other expenses totaled $3.23 million for a 345%
increase over the comparable 2004 period.

On September 28, 2005, the Company filed a registration statement on Form SB-2,
which has not yet been declared effective. The Company is still responding to
comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission and is required to amend
its registration statement to include its financial statements for the period
ending December 31, 2005. The Company anticipates that it will have its
registration statement amended and respond to the SEC's comments around May 1,
2006.
