Company Online Stock Trading NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2004--Jupitermedia Corporation (Nasdaq: JUPM) today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Revenues for the second quarter of 2004 were $17.8 million compared to revenues of $10.2 million for the same period last year, an increase of 75%.

"We are pleased with our financial results this quarter, with both record quarterly revenues and net income," stated Jupitermedia's Chairman and CEO Alan M. Meckler. "Our acquisition of the assets of the Comstock Images business on April 1, 2004, added over 500,000 wholly owned images to our growing JupiterImages business which sells commercial stock images by single download, CD or online subscription. We are experiencing significant marketing and business synergies between Comstock Images and our JupiterImages division as well as our other Jupitermedia divisions. Our acquisition of the assets of the Thinkstock Images and Thinkstock Footage businesses on July 28, 2004, furthers Jupitermedia's position as one of the largest worldwide organizations in the business of selling stock images and enables us to enter the rapidly growing business of selling video footage online. Our follow-on public offering, co-managed by Piper Jaffray & Co. and SG Cowen & Co., LLC, was successfully completed on May 28, 2004, and raised net proceeds of over $30 million for Jupitermedia. Net proceeds are being used primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions and the repayment of all outstanding indebtedness incurred to finance the acquisition of Comstock Images," added Meckler.

Accordingly, FindWhat.com's results for the three months ended June 30, 2004 include the operations of Miva and Comet Systems for the entire second quarter, and B&B' month period since its closing. FindWhat.com's results for the six months ended June 30, 2004 include the operations of Miva for the entire period, but only include the results of Comet Systems and B&B from the dates of their respective closings.
