BOCA RATON, FL – August 15, 2011 - MediaNet Group Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: MEDG), a global shopping and entertainment community, today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2011.

MediaNet reports net income or loss on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP net income excludes non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization and for stock-based compensation (SBC). In the third quarter of 2011, the charge related to SBC was $0.7 million, compared to $0 in the third quarter of 2010 and for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011, SBC was $1.4 million compared to $0 for the same period in 2010. Depreciation and amortization was $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2010 and for the nine month period ended June 30, 2011, depreciation and amortization was $0.7 million compared to $0.5 for the same period in 2010. The result is that Non-GAAP net income or (loss) for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $(0.2) million and $(1.0) million, respectively compared to Non-GAAP net income of $1.0 and $3.0 for the same periods in 2010. Despite negative earnings for Q3, Non-GAAP net income was close to break- even at $(0.2) million. The Company increased its liquidity by $3.4 million after issuing 25.1 million new shares in a private placement. The non-GAAP measure is reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the accompanying financial tables.
Michael Hansen, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “As we expected, our third quarter operating results remained consistent with the first two quarters. Revenue and income are down from a year ago, because we have invested considerable time, resources and money in the Company’s foundation and future, by recruiting strong management and highly skilled employees, developing our auction and shopping mall platforms and implementing strategic plans for DubLi to realize its potential as a global shopping and entertainment Company. I am very proud of our results compared to last year when we were just another online auction company. Today we are a state-of-the-art, global shopping and entertainment community and our momentum is returning while we put the finishing touches on our programs and products in August and September. We begin our next fiscal year in October with a new and stronger business foundation that is supported by a new advertising plan, our recently launched partner program and the strength of our remarkable network marketing organization. DubLi was built to deliver a world-class global shopping and entertainment portal using the localized and proven approach of a direct sales organization. Fiscal 2010 has been marked by an investment in people and technology that enables us to efficiently serve consumers globally.”
Mr. Hansen continued, “I am pleased that the Company has transformed so significantly in just nine short months and I believe that we are well positioned to capture a greater portion of our global consumers discretionary spending. The new DubLi Gift Card auctions were well received this quarter and the additional business it has garnered from our customers, Business Associates and partners around the world is gratifying. In addition, I am very pleased with advances in our partner programs, the growth in 5% Cashback shopping programs in the German, U.S. and Australian online shopping malls. I look forward to presenting our new malls coming online soon in Spain and Denmark.”
