           BestNet Announces Board Appointment and Fiscal 2004 Results


GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan - December 15, 2004 - BestNet Communications Corp.
(OTCBB: BESC) a provider of proprietary global communication solutions, today
announces results for the year ended August 31, 2004.

BestNet's revenues increased by 47% to $2,162,856 in fiscal 2004, from
$1,471,358 in fiscal 2003. Gross margins improved substantially to 34% in fiscal
2004 as compared to 12% for fiscal 2003. General and Administrative expenses
decreased by 28% to 1,341,595 in fiscal 2004 from $1,868,925 in fiscal 2003.

An impairment of asset expense of $2,980,290 was incurred because the value of
the Softalk License, which has historically been shown as an intangible asset on
BestNet's financial statements, has been reduced to zero because of a history of
losses from doing business with the licensed technology and the low probability
of achieving positive cash flow in that business within a reasonable period of
time.

The Board of Directors has elected Mr. Barry Griffith to fill a vacant board
seat. As the Western Area Director for Isoray Inc, Mr. Griffith is responsible
for all its sales and marketing for the western half of the United States.
Isoray Inc. identifies and brings to market unique isotopes to treat cancer.
From October 2000 to August 2004 Mr. Griffith was Western Area Director of
Novoste Corp. a pioneer and world leader in Vascular Brachytherapy. Previously
he held sales positions introducing new technologies with Medtronic Inc.,
Schneider Inc., and Mitek Surgical Products.

Stanley Schloz, BestNet's President, said, "We are very pleased to announce the
election of Barry Griffith to our Board. He has spent a significant part of his
career introducing novel medical devices to the medical market and will be a
significant contributor in guiding the company in exploring a new line of
business."
