SAN FRANCISCO -- GoFish Corporation (OTCBB: GOFH, www.gofishcorp.com), a leading online youth entertainment and media network, reported its results for the year ended December 31, 2007. Results included quarterly revenue growth of 217%, in line with expectations.

GoFish gained traction during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2007. Specific achievements were the launch of its online youth entertainment network and the establishment of partnerships with premier publishers and blue-chip advertisers. Financial highlights are as follows:

* Net sales increased substantially and were $2,081,182 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared with $25,779 for the previous year. Net sales were $1,539,610 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $6,922 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and $485,812 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, an increase of 217% from the third quarter of 2007 to the fourth quarter of 2007.

* Revenues from the fourth quarter were derived from advertising sales on publishers that today represent approximately one-third of the audience on the network. The GoFish Network has grown to 19.4 million unique U.S. users per month with the addition of several publishers.

* The company reported an annual loss of $16,377,858 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared with $5,311,896 for the previous year. This increase is as a result, in part, of an increase in headcount and one-time acquisition costs of $1,270,348.
