Qorus.com, Inc. (OTCBB: QRUS), and its wholly owned subsidiary VMdirect, LLC ("VMdirect"), a Las Vegas-based social networking and digital communications company which markets its proprietary suite of communications tools through its social network, www.helloworld.com, and its Web site, www.vmdirect.com, announced today record financial results for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 for VMdirect.

VMdirect reported revenue of $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, a 136% increase over 2004. The growth in revenue was attributable to increased sales in all product groups and the start-up of business in the United Kingdom and Mexico. Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 increased from the same period in 2005 by $2.7 million, or 475%, to $3.3 million.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by 93% to $3.8 million. Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 increased by 473% over the same period in 2005, to $2.6 million. Gross profit for both periods increased as a result of sales growth.

VMdirect incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $1.2 million, as compared to a net loss of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company achieved net income of $41,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2006, versus a loss of $392,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

"Our 4.0 product release -- which eliminated major barriers in communicating online with live or recorded streaming video -- coupled with the opening of the Australia and New Zealand markets, propelled our first quarter revenue, " stated Amy Black, co-founder and President of VMdirect.

"This recent profitable quarter is both a milestone for the Company and a testament to what we have achieved in the last year," added VMdirect co-founder, a principal shareholder of Qorus.com, Inc. and chairman of VMdirect, Richard Kall. "With substantial sales growth across all product categories and the extensive expansion of our affiliate network, we are enthusiastic about the continued growth of VMdirect."
