MORGAN BEAUMONT REPORTS FISCAL 2005 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS PR NEWSWIRE o
2005-08-12

BRADENTON, FLORIDA - August 11, 2005 - Morgan Beaumont, Inc. (OTC BB: MBEU), a
premier technology solution provider to the Stored Value and Debit Card market
and owner of the SIRE Network (TM), today announced fiscal third quarter results
for the period ended June 30, 2005.

         Net revenue for the third quarter of 2005 was $481,611 compared to
$2,951 in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 and compared to $150,000 in the
second quarter of this year. The year over year and sequential revenue increase
is primarily due to the addition of new card products, an increase in prepaid
card sales and related usage and transaction fees, and telecommunications
services including prepaid phone cards. As a development stage company,
year-over-year comparisons are not meaningful; therefore, the Company is
including sequential data that more accurately represent the robust near-term
growth of the company.

         The Company reported a net loss for the third quarter of $1.0 million,
or $0.02 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $384,216, or $0.03 loss per
share, in the third quarter of 2004 and compared to a net loss of $1.1 million,
or $0.02 loss per share, in this year's second quarter.

         Cliff Wildes, CEO of Morgan Beaumont, stated, "As we move closer to
meeting our goal of having over 100,000 POINTS OF PRESENCE (POPs) on our SIRE
Network by year end, we have already achieved numerous significant milestones
during the third quarter, including:

         o        Signing an agreement with MetaBank to develop and promote a
                  variety of new prepaid, stored value ATM/Debit card programs

         o        Forging a strategic partnership with CGS Financial
                  Technologies to distribute Morgan Beaumont card products
                  through its retail channel

         o        Entering into a distribution agreement with Network Management
                  Inc., which will supply Morgan Beaumont's Stored Value and
                  Debit card products, as well as deploy the SIRE Network
                  technology, to its sales channel of 6,000 retail locations

         o        Launching into a strategic banking relationship with First
                  Gulf Bank, N.A. to market Morgan Beaumont's payroll card
                  products/solutions directly to employers, institutions and
                  government agencies

         o        Signing Western Union as a Preferred Partner on SIRE Network,
                  enabling all of Western Union's 45,000+ locations in the
                  United States to provide value load services to Morgan
                  Beaumont's Stored Value and Debit cardholders

         o        Developing our innovative, proprietary distribution management
                  software application which positions the company at the
                  forefront of the industry in down-line distribution channel
                  management and transaction reconciliation

         o        Adding talented executives to fill several important senior
                  management roles that have experience and background in the
                  Stored Value Card industry that will help the company
                  distribute cards and grow the SIRE Network.

         o        Purchasing certain select telecommunications assets of MTEL
                  Communications which facilitated the formation of MBI Services
                  Group LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary utilizing the acquired
                  switches and routes necessary to provide turn-key
                  telecommunication services for Morgan Beaumont's prepaid phone
                  card program

                  Services to market Morgan Beaumont's debit cards to automotive
                  dealers worldwide that service the sub prime credit market

         "As we have been executing on our strategy to build this company and
increase our product and service offerings, we have been fortunate to have
attracted additional capital to support our near term growth initiatives," added
Wildes. "During our third quarter we raised approximately $5 million in equity
capital. A portion of this additional capital is being used to roll-out
strategic marketing programs, and to enhance and execute several specific sales
and marketing initiatives. We are just beginning to experience the benefits of
our sales and marketing efforts as we further develop alliances and
relationships with companies like those mentioned above. We look forward to
continue growing the business rapidly and achieving our goal of bringing valued
products and services to more customers in more convenient locations."

 "Safe Harbor" Statement under Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Statements about the expected future prospects of our business and all other
statements in this release other than historical facts, constitute
forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements because
they contain words such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "would,"
"should," "seeks," "approximately," "intends," "plans," "estimates," or
"anticipates" or similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans or
intentions. All statements we make relating to estimated and projected earnings,
margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are
forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from
time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected
future operations and performance and other developments. All of these
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may
change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially
from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from
our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed
assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution
that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of
course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our
actual results. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results
include: general economic and market conditions, including the lingering effects
of the economic slowdown and services revenue; the overall condition of the bank
card industry, including the effect of any further consolidation among financial
services firms; the regulatory, credit and market risks associated with our
operations; the integration of acquired businesses, the performance of our
businesses; the effect of war, terrorism or catastrophic events; the timing and
magnitude of sales; the timing and scope of technological advances; the ability
to retain and attract customers and key personnel; and the ability to obtain
patent protection and avoid patent-related liabilities in the context of a
rapidly developing legal framework for software and business-method patents. The
factors described in this paragraph and other factors that may affect our
business or future financial results and when applicable, are discussed in our
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form 10-K, a
copy of which may be obtained from us without charge. We assume no obligation to
update any written or oral forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf
as a result of new information, future events or other factors.
