Company Announces Approval From Indian Government to Effect the Final Completion of the Full Continuum Transaction and Closes Purchase of the Remaining 45% Minority Position That It Did Not Previously Own

NEWPORT BEACH, CA--(Marketwire - June 14, 2007) - Caneum, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CANM), a global provider of business process and information technology outsourcing services, today announced that the Company has completed the remaining government approval process and 45% minority position purchase for the previously announced acquisition of Continuum Systems Pvt. Ltd. (since renamed to Caneum India Pvt. Ltd.).

On December 29, 2006, Caneum completed the majority acquisition of Continuum Systems Pvt. Ltd., having purchased 55% of its outstanding stock.

Up until such governmental approval was achieved, the Company could only report 55% of the operations of Continuum Systems within Caneum's consolidated financial statements.

Alan Knitowski, Chairman of Caneum, Inc., commented, "We are pleased to have obtained the final Indian government approval on our acquisition and now own 100% of the off-shore outsourcing business subsequently renamed to Caneum India Pvt. Ltd. With the acquisition now fully closed, we will begin consolidating 100% of the underlying financials into our reporting and continue building and growing the captive off-shore business as part of our global outsourcing initiatives."
