EZENET CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Revenue Up 152% Over the Same Quarter Last Year

TORONTO, ONTARIO (November 15, 2000) - EZENET Corp. (TSE:EZE), a leading business solutions and integrated technology provider for the financial services industry, today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2000. The Company’s progress on a number of initiatives is summarized below.

Third Quarter Highlights

• Revenue increase of 152% for third quarter 2000 over corresponding 1999 period.
• Over $41 million in cash and cash reserves as at Sept. 30, 2000.
• Positive cash flow from operations of $288,029 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
• Closing of the acquisition of Wealth Management Solutions Inc. (“WMSI”).
• Normal course issuer bid announced.
• Launch of the Company’s first wireless application.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, a net loss after taxes of $330,485 or $0.02 per share was recorded. This compares to net income of $400,611 or $0.05 per share for the same period in 1999. Expenses increased for the nine months ended September from $1,569,618 in 1999 to $4,970,082 in 2000, however, revenues almost doubled from $2,293,209 in 1999 to $4,498,797 in 2000, resulting in a loss after amortization of deferred development costs and goodwill totaling 280,000 but before taxes, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 of $471,285. The Company generated a positive cash flow from operations of $288,029 during this same nine-month period ended September 30, 2000.

For the three months ended September 30, banking revenue increased 150% from $646,147 in 1999 to $1,619,082 in 2000. Overall, total revenue increased to $2,289,836 in 2000 from $908,926 for 1999, an increase of 152%. This has allowed for the continued building of the Company’s infrastructure to support future growth. As at September 30, 2000, your Company had 87 employees, compared to 22 employees last year. This resulted in salaries and benefits increasing from $363,155 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $1,433,286 in 2000. Administration expense also increased from $110,341 in 1999 to $595,597. The major item that contributed to this expense was an increase in rent, as the Company moved to significantly larger premises at 5160 Yonge St., Toronto to allow for expansion.

The acquisition of WMSI closed on September 6, 2000. The results of WMSI have been included for the two-month period from August 1, 2000 to September 30, 2000. With the close of this acquisition, EZENET’s product offerings and client base have expanded significantly. We have added considerable depth to our senior management and technical resources. Your Company now has over 70 financial institutions as customers, including all Schedule 1 banks in Canada.

On October 2, 2000, the Company announced a Normal Course Issuer Bid. The bid commenced on October 5, 2000 and will run for one year. To date, the Company has repurchased approximately 100,000 shares. Copies of the Normal Course Issuer Bid notice may be obtained by contacting the Company.

EZENET announced on November 15, 2000 that Jay Cashmore was appointed President and CEO of the Company and Kasra Meshkin was appointed Chief Technology Advisor. This move will allow the company to accelerate its business operations and the deployment of its wireless and Internet banking applications.

EZENET deployed its first commercial wireless application in August utilizing the EZENET One-Step Connectivity Platform. Existing and future EZENET clients can now provide their customers access to financial information across a wide range of Internet-enabled wireless devices.

As a result of the WMSI acquisition, we now have a more robust technology platform upon which to build the Company’s U.S. expansion strategy. Product customization of the WMSI “CORE” system for the U.S. market is well underway. While this change will initially delay revenue from U. S. sales, it will create a much greater overall market potential for EZENET. We expect the initial release of the product to be available to U.S. sales personnel in the first quarter of 2001.

“We continue to search for synergistic acquisition targets in both Canada and the United States,” said EZENET’s new President and CEO, Jay Cashmore. “The shakedown in the technology sector provides us with excellent opportunities for strategic acquisitions. Our significant cash reserves position EZENET to profit from companies that require assistance with growth, funding and structure at attractive prices.”

In addition, Haron Ezer, Chairman of EZENET Corp., wishes to announce the appointment of Mr. Trevor Jones to the EZENET Board of Directors. Mr. Jones was a director of Newbridge Networks Corporation for nine years and formerly a Senior Vice President of Montreal Trust. Trevor Jones is currently President of JWA Associates, a business consulting service to mid-market companies. Mr. Jones will be filling a vacancy created by the recent resignation of W.T. David Murray.

“Mr. Jones’ in-depth knowledge of both the technology and financial services sector makes him ideally suited to help guide our company,” stated Haron Ezer, Chairman of EZENET Corp. “ This knowledge combined with his experience as a director for Newbridge will prove to be invaluable as EZENET continues its agressive expansion.”

Effective immediately, Jay Cashmore has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and Kasra Meshkin has been appointed Chief Technology Advisor of EZENET.

"EZENET's business model is built around a technology vision that is essential to our continued success and to building value for our shareholders," stated Haron Ezer. "With these changes, we have created a management structure that enables Jay Cashmore to focus on the business operations of EZENET while Kasra Meshkin will be able to focus on the development and integration of new technologies. Both thrusts are integral to our Company's future."

Jay Cashmore was formerly the President and founder of Wealth Management Solutions Inc., a financial services software company acquired by EZENET in September 2000. He has over thirty years experience in the financial services industry, including five years as President and CEO of FootPrint Software Inc. and twelve years as a Vice President of ISM Systems Corp.

"Our business is poised for dramatic growth," said Mr. Cashmore. "We have an outstanding opportunity to broaden the array of products and services we offer to our current client base of more than 70 of Canada's premiere financial institutions. In addition, our healthy capital structure positions us for dynamic growth through strategic acquisitions. Both of these strategies require strong and focused management of which EZENET now has in place. I am pleased to provide the necessary leadership that will allow us to successfully attain our potential."

Kasra Meshkin, formerly President and CEO, will assume the role of Chief Technology Advisor with a mandate to accelerate the deployment of EZENET's wireless and Internet banking applications.

EZENET ANNOUNCES NEW INTERNET AND WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY PLATFORM

NEW PLATFORM PROVIDES QUICKER TIME TO MARKET FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES APPLICATIONS

TORONTO, ONTARIO (October 17, 2000) - EZENET Corp. (TSE:EZE), a leading business-to-business software and integrated technologies provider specializing in banking and wireless solutions announced today the unveiling of its new banking connectivity development platform, EZENET One Step Connectivity Platform™.

The EZENET Research & Development Laboratory - an in-house team of world class researchers and developers - designed the EZENET One Step Connectivity Platform as the Company's new technology platform for developing a suite of cost-effective Internet and wireless-based financial services applications for small-to-medium sized banks, trust companies and other financial institutions.

"The development of this platform enables us to provide our North American clients with a new breed of Internet and wireless applications," said Marc Nicholas, Chief Technology Officer of EZENET. "This competitive differentiator is yet another milestone in our drive to revolutionize and advance the face of consumer banking and mobile commerce. By combining this innovation with more than 20 years experience in the financial services marketplace, we are confident in our ability to continue to provide the infrastructure to process financial transactions safely and securely across a wide range of networks and transport mediums."

"By complementing our existing back-end solutions with our One Step Connectivity Platform, we can significantly reduce the development time and costs of full-service technology and software solutions for the banking and financial services industry," said Nicholas. "We believe that by combining these cost savings with experience and innovation, we can continue to be a valued IT partner to small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the financial services industry."

The EZENET Research & Development Laboratory is already utilizing one commercial application based on the One Step Connectivity Platform. Using a wireless device with a mini-browser such as a digital cell phone or a PDA, customers of Home Trust Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Home Capital Group Inc. (TSE:HCG.B) are able to access a variety of services, including investment (GIC) rates.

"We are actively developing other applications based on this Connectivity Platform that will shortly come online," said Nicholas. "The world of m-commerce and Internet banking is precarious. We don't want to put the cart before the horse. We are in discussions with our customer base to develop viable applications that meet their business objectives rather than developing applications that they cannot immediately use."

Several applications utilizing the EZENET One Step Connectivity Platform will debut at the Canadian Institute of Mortgage Brokers & Lenders (CIMBL) annual Conference on November 16th, 2000 including EZENET's Home Trust Wireless application.

In a recent press release, IDC - the world's leading provider of technology intelligence, industry analysis, market data, and strategic and tactical guidance to builders, providers and users of information technology - stated that financial service companies in general are under siege from pure Internet businesses trying to encroach on their customer relationships by offering lower-cost products or by offering innovative value-added services. In particular, state and local banks - and other small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the financial services marketplace, are under pressure to provide innovative, cost-effective customer-oriented services - such as mobile commerce (m-commerce). In response, Nicholas believes that EZENET's One Step Connectivity Platform will enable EZENET to become a leading provider of such services.

EZENET ANNOUNCES NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

TORONTO, ONTARIO (October 2, 2000) - Ezenet Corp. (the "Corporation" or "Ezenet") announced today that The Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted Ezenet's notice to make a normal course issuer bid (the "Bid") to purchase, from time to time, as it considers advisable, up to a maximum of 690,000 of its issued and outstanding Common Shares for cancellation. These purchases will be made on the open market through the facilities of The Toronto Stock Exchange. The price which Ezenet will pay for any shares purchased by it will be the prevailing market price of such shares on The Toronto Stock Exchange at the time of such purchase.

The Bid will commence on October 5, 2000 and will terminate on October 4, 2001 or such earlier time as the Bid is completed or terminated at the option of Ezenet.

Ezenet believes that the current and recent market prices of its common shares may not reflect their underlying value and that, at such times, the purchase of common shares will increase the proportionate interest of, and be advantageous to, all remaining shareholders. Any normal course of purchases made by Ezenet will also afford an increased degree of liquidity to those shareholders of Ezenet who wish to dispose of their common shares.

Expansion into the U.S. is proceeding as planned. An office in Research Triangle, North Carolina has opened and personnel have been recruited, but not yet hired for the Chicago office. Customization of the financial systems software is well underway and contacts have been made with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ('FDIC') to ensure a smooth completion of the certification, which is expected to be completed in October 2000.

EZENET TO ACQUIRE WEALTH MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS INC.

ACQUISITION ALLOWS EZENET TO EXPAND PRODUCT OFFERING, ACCELERATE U.S. EXPANSION, AND INCREASE CLIENT BASE

TORONTO, ONTARIO (July 21, 2000) - EZENET Corp. (CDNX: EZE), a leading software and IT solutions provider, announced today that it has signed a letter of intent to purchase all of the issued securities of privately-held Wealth Management Solutions Inc. (WMSI), a Toronto- based software development company. WMSI is EZENET's second acquisition since closing a $50-million Special Warrant financing earlier this year.

The proposed acquisition will expand EZENET's client base, broaden its product offerings, increase EZENET employees by 120 per cent and add senior management and technical strength to EZENET's operations. WMSI's 1999 revenues (year ended December 31) of $4 million, combined with its debt-free status and profitability, make WMSI a significant and strategic investment for EZENET. EZENET customers and strategic alliance partners will benefit from the wealth management solutions offered by WMSI, which complement EZENET's financial service offerings.

The purchase will be funded by $5 million in cash and 505,051 of common or convertible preferred shares, which will be determined in the definitive agreement and priced. Furthermore, should WMSI achieve certain fiscal year 2000 revenue targets, Ezenet will make an additional deferred payment of up to $1 million in cash and 101,010 in common or convertible preferred shares. The shares issued in this transaction will be subject to an escrow agreement between EZENET and the WMSI shareholders, releasable at various times over a 30-month period.

The Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including execution of a definitive Purchase and Sale agreement and requisite regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to close in early August.

"This transaction is part of EZENET's ongoing strategy to establish a critical mass in Canada, expand our product offerings to financial institutions, along with accelerating our entry into the U.S. market," said Kasra Meshkin, President and Chief Executive Officer of EZENET. "Since going public in March 1999, EZENET has continued to build on its strong foundation with additions to management, targeted acquisitions, and technology developments. This acquisition is a logical step in our long-term development strategy. We believe there to be excellent synergies between EZENET and WMSI."

Following the closing of this transaction, Jay Cashmore, founder of WMSI, will join EZENET as President of Canadian Operations and become a member of EZENET's Board of Directors. Jay Cashmore brings over 30 years of experience in the financial services industry, including 5 years as President of FootPrint Software Inc. and over 2 years as President of WMSI.

Net earnings after taxes were $262,000 or $0.04 per share, after writing off $180,000 in R & D expenses.

In its first year as a publicly traded company, EZENET continued to build on its profitable business model. During fiscal year 1999, EZENET added new clients in the financial services sector, expanded its services to existing clientele, completed integration to IBM RISC 6000 processors, and enhanced its already comprehensive list of software solutions. Additionally, EZENET successfully launched InstaBase, a unique and powerful Internet software program, for which it established worldwide contacts and distribution channels. During the last quarter of the year, EZENET commenced the expansion of its banking services with significant additions of research and development employees as well as the purchase of equipment necessary to support this effort.

"We are particularly pleased to report that we have now delivered three straight years of record revenue growth, as we continue to expand our already profitable business model. During the 1999 fiscal year, EZENET invested heavily in Research and Development with internally generated funds and funds from the private placement of Common Shares completed early in 1999. In 1999 our aggressive investments in Research and Development, particularly those in the fourth quarter, positions EZENET for significant growth which culminated with the raising of $50 million in Special Warrant financing in March 2000," stated Haron Ezer, EZENET's Chairman and CEO. EZENET will utilize these proceeds to develop front-end wireless solutions for banks and financial services companies that complement Ezenet's existing back end infrastructure, for development of enhanced security software, for marketing and sales force expansion into the United States; and to develop Linux Financial applications.

Mr. Ezer continued "EZENET is now well prepared for significant growth and expansion in all facets of our business. Our strategic development expenditures in 1999, combined with our strong management team, and the addition of new financing, will enable the company to further strengthen its position as a technological leader for the financial services industry as we enhance our financial solutions across wireless and Internet technologies. EZENET has already begun this expansion by initiating our U.S. expansion, furthering our development, and hiring key employees. EZENET will continue to move rapidly forge ahead and continue our growth as we take our innovative solutions and generate new revenue streams and enhance shareholder value."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The company will follow a policy of writing off all R&D expenses as incurred in the coming year.
