Synergy Brands Holiday Sales Through Its Websites Likely to Generate Record Revenues for December 2005

Synergy Brands (NASDAQ: SYBR) today announced its B2C operations, operated by Gran Reserve Corporation (GRC), which include www.CigarGold.com, www.cigarsaroundtheworld.com and www.BeautyBuys.com, as well as online partnerships with www.overstock.com and www.froogle.com, are anticipated to generate record revenues in December of 2005 as compared to December of 2004. The Company believes that the increase is being generated predominately through the online business partnerships the Company's B2C operation secured in late 2004 and in the third quarter of 2005. In particular the Company is selling customized packaging that is specifically designed for online business partnership sales. The Company hopes to become a source for its product lines to online purveyors since it maintains its own inventory and procures directly from manufacturers to service its much larger wholesale operations. The products that are particularly moving well are the customized cigar packages and brand name salon hair care products. "We hope to sustain this momentum into FY2006," commented Mair Faibish, President of Synergy Brands. "However, at this time we do not know if this spike is holiday driven or the acquisition of new customers through more diverse channels. We believe that in the Cigar Category, there exists less seasonality than in other holiday driven sectors."
