2006 Business Outlook
Today, the Company reiterated its outlook for fiscal 2006:

-- Total revenues will be between $60 and $70 million.
-- Net income will be between $4.5 and $5.2 million, or about 41 to 50
cents per basic share.

For the second quarter:
-- Total revenues will be between $14 and $15 million.
-- Net income will be between $1,000,000 and $1,200,000, or about 10 to
12 cents per basic share.
-- PacificNet's strategy in 2006 is to capture market share and
top-line growth in the VAS and CRM market in China while enhancing
profit margins through integration of subsidiary operations and
synergy development.
-- The Company expects continued revenue and profit growth in 2006
through organic growth and accretive acquisitions in the VAS, IVR and
CRM market in China.

"We are happy to report another strong quarter of record growth both in revenues and profits as this period is traditionally a slower period due to the long Lunar New Year holidays in China," said Tony Tong, Chairman and CEO of PacificNet. "This is our ninth quarter of profitability and growth. During the quarter, we continued to increase our profit margin by expanding rapidly in our VAS and B2C services. We believe that in 2006 this strategy will result in growing profitability. This strategy is already gaining traction, as our first quarter operating margin increased from 8% to 13% year-over-year. We believe promising opportunities exist to grow rapidly in many of our targeted vertical markets. For example, the growing number of banking and financial services companies selecting us to enhance customer service operations reflects the evolving and increasingly competitive nature of the financial services industry in China. Today, consumers choose a provider in China not solely based upon price, but upon a number of factors including CRM service, loyalty, and retention programs. This trend has created the demand for and deployment of large scale customer contact centers. We believe that the CRM contact center has emerged as the new competitive advantage for the market leaders in China. To become a market leader in China, whether as a product or service provider, a company needs to devote resources to CRM and customer service. With over 15 years as a leading provider and the experience in CRM and contact center management in Hong Kong and China, we believe PacificNet is well positioned to capture a significant share of this rapidly growing market."

"We made significant progress in transitioning our business from the lower-margin Communications Distribution Business to higher-margin value-added telecom services and Internet B2C e-commerce," said Victor Tong, President of PacificNet. "Acquisitions such as Clickcom and Guangzhou 3G helped us enter the mobile internet market in China. In addition, the recent announcement that we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire iMobile (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. further enhances our position in this rapidly growing B2C market in China. We also continue to rapidly expand our VAS Business, through strong organic growth as a result of leading companies in China increasingly selecting us for important programs. The acquisition of a majority interest in Guangzhou Wanrong, one of the leading providers of VAS in China, is expected to help support our growth during the second half of fiscal 2006 and beyond. The success that we developed in this business allowed us to recently acquire a controlling interest in ChinaGoHi, one of the most widely recognized brand names in China. We believe that the combination of its innovative infomercials along with our growing call center operations will allow us generate increased revenues from marketing campaigns."

"In addition to making several key acquisitions recently, we laid the foundation for a strong future, by hiring additional personnel in key areas to support our accounting and back-office functions, as well as implemented the systems to allow the Company to better measure the performance of each of its units. Although we dramatically increased the size of our accounting and compliance department since last year, we were late in filing our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 and we needed to take an extension to file our first quarter results. We recognize the importance of timely filing our results, and believe we now have the necessary components to meet future deadlines. With the mobile Internet expected to be one of the key drivers of future economic growth in China, as well as VAS and CRM services playing an increasingly important role in leading Chinese companies' marketing activities, we feel PacificNet is well positioned for the future."

New Appointment of VP of Finance and Interim CFO, and Resignation of CFO ShaoJian Wang.

As indicated in our 10-K filed on April 28, we have greatly expanded our Finance and Accounting staff in China in the last six months. In January, we promoted Mary Ma to the new position of Vice President of Finance, a position which will be permanently stationed in China. We have gradually transitioned the roles, responsibilities and job function of the CFO role to Mary May, the new VP of Finance. We announce the resignation of Mr. ShaoJian Wang as the CFO of PacificNet effective May 26, 2006. Mr. Victor Tong, our President, will take on the position of the Interim CFO during our search of the permanent CFO.

Beginning in Q1 2006, the Company streamlined its reporting procedures by requiring all accounting groups within each subsidiary, which includes tax, treasury, financial planning and analysis groups, to directly report information and communicate to their respective accounting group at the Company's financial accounting headquarters in Shenzhen, China. Each accounting group at Shenzhen is now responsible for overseeing the reporting results delivered for each subsidiary within their group to ensure that the material transactions and financial disclosures provided by such group are accurate, complete and correct and do not contain any material misstatements or omit material information

The Company plans to expand the size of its internal audit group, and has determined to retain an outside independent consulting firm with relevant accounting, experience. In connection with this expansion the Company will give the internal audit group the added responsibility to monitor its wholly owned subsidiaries and partially owned subsidiaries and joint venture operations through reviews and audits at such locations a minimum of three times a quarter. The Company has found that this new responsibility of the internal audit group is critical upon each new acquisition, as the newly acquired subsidiary must quickly become familiar with the Company's policies and procedures for processing, summarizing, reporting and disclosing material information and ensuring that financial information about the new subsidiary is properly accounted for and communicated to management.
