Application will be made for 34,250,000 new ordinary shares to be admitted to

Keith Young, the Chairman of Netb2b2, commented: "Since 30 June 2003, the
Company has undertaken three private placings raising some #850,000 net of
expenses for the further development of the business. The Directors have taken
the opportunity to exercise a proportion of their options in order to raise
further working capital and we now believe that the Company is in a stronger
position to continue its development through acquisitions and organic growth."
