FTS Group Requests Delisting from Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange


LEVITTOWN, Pa., July 15, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- FTS Group, Inc. (OTCBB:FLIP) has requested its shares be immediately delisted from the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange. The company was listed on the Berlin-Bremen Exchange without the knowledge or authorization of FTS management. Management recently became aware of the German listing, and also learned of the widespread concern among many investors and other OTCBB companies of the potential of "naked short selling" on the German exchange.

FTS Chairman and CEO Scott Gallagher commented, "Because it is not clear to us the motive behind listing FTS shares on the Berlin-Bremen Exchange without our authorization or notice, we felt it to be in the best interest of the company and our shareholders to request delisting from the exchange immediately."
