    Increases 2004 revenue guidance to $14 million from $13 million
    Increases 2004 GAAP profit guidance to $2.1 million from $1.4 million
    Increases 2004 projected EPS (Pre-tax) to $0.30 from $0.20

SAN FRANCISCO, CA November 22, 2004 — Aptimus, Inc. (OTC BB: APTM), the performance based advertising network, today announced that it is raising its 2004 revenue guidance and issuing initial guidance for 2005. For 2004, Aptimus is increasing its projected sales to $14 million from its most recent guidance of $13 million that was provided in September 2004. This revised estimate also reflects an increase in expected GAAP profit to $2.1 million, or $0.30 EPS per fully diluted share, based on 7.1 million fully diluted shares. The projected 2004 profit and per share earnings are determined without consideration of income tax expense. The tax benefit of the company’s Net Operating Loss Carry Forward has been fully reserved.

Along with the increase in 2004 revenue guidance, Aptimus today announced its initial 2005 revenue and earnings projections. The company anticipates annual revenues of $26.5 Million for 2005, and that it will achieve a net income of $6.0 million, or $0.80 earnings per share based on an average of 7.5 million fully diluted shares for the year. The projected 2005 profit and per share amounts are determined without consideration of income tax expense. The tax benefit of the company’s Net Operating Loss Carry Forward has been fully reserved. The company is also not including the possible effect of expensing stock options in its 2005 projections as it is using the current stock option expensing rules in its forecast.

“Our primary objective for the balance of 2004 and heading into 2005 is increasing web site publisher participation in our network with the goal to increase the impressions available to promote our clients’ offers,” said Tim Choate, CEO of Aptimus. “We have an offer presentation and optimization platform that is working well today and a solid base of leading brand clients. Our growth will be driven primarily by increasing web site participation in our model.”

Conference Call

Basis of Projections. These figures are based on a review of the company’s performance in past periods, our unaudited results at that time, as well as our anticipated results in the upcoming period from current and pending publisher and advertiser relationships. In making these projections, we assumed our connectivity, research and development, general and administrative and depreciation and amortization expenses for the last three months of 2004 and for 2005 would remain relatively flat when compared to the first nine months of 2004. In addition, sales and marketing expenses would remain at similar percentage of revenue as we scale the business. We also assumed that we would not experience any further growth in the average CPMs of our various placements from levels achieved in the first nine months of 2004, but rather they would remain consistent with the preceding nine month period’s levels. We also assumed that during the last quarter of 2004 and during 2005 we would increase our core placement and other placement page impressions by 100% and 700%, respectively, over the levels achieved in the first half of 2004. We also assumed that our revenues attributable to email sources would remain at approximately the same levels for the last quarter of 2004 and during 2005 as we saw in the first nine months of 2004. On the client side, we assumed that we would maintain and expand our existing client relationships to meet the demands of what we anticipated to be a growing base of website publishers. Finally, we assumed that our cost of revenues, which is essentially the fees we pay to our website publishers and email list owners, would be approximately 47% of total revenues for the balance of 2004 and during 2005.
