Fair Value of Investment Instruments

TAMPA, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 26, 2007 -- FTS Group, Inc. (OTCBB : FLIP ), an acquisition and
development Company, today announced that, upon further review of its prior
financial statements, Management has concluded that it will restate its
prior financial statements beginning with its 2005 Form 10-KSB/A and all
subsequent quarterly filings through the third quarter of 2006. The
restatement is necessary to bring the Company's financial statements in
compliance with GAAP accounting as it relates to issues surrounding the
Fair Valuation of investment instruments such as warrants.
FTS Chairman and CEO Scott Gallagher commented, "During the last 12 to 18
months, numerous GAAP accounting issues have been updated or modified by
the APB, FASB and EITF to provide investors with additional information
regarding the activities of publicly traded companies such as FTS Group.
One of these issues is the need to provide a 'Fair Value' calculation of
outstanding financing instruments such as warrants and in some cases debt.
We have spent the last six months consulting with industry associations and
hired a professional consultant working for a company with more than $4
billion in annual sales to assure that our company complies with these new
GAAP accounting requirements. In December of 2006 we restated our financial
statements based on the belief we had correctly accounted for warrants
relating to the issues raised in APB-14, FASB statement 133, EITF 00-19 and
GAAP. Upon further review of the various accounting rules relating to the
issue, we have determined that in order for us to comply with GAAP
accounting we must restate certain filings to include fair value
calculations of outstanding warrants. Therefore we will be restating our
2005 Form 10-KSB/A for the period ended December 31, 2005, our
Form 10-QSB/A for the period ended March 31, 2006, our Form 10-QSB/A for
the period ended June 30, 2006 and our Form
10-QSB/A for the period ended September 30, 2006. We have included the
updated fair value information in our most recent 10-KSB/A filing for the
period ended December 31, 2006. I would urge all investors to consult with
a financial professional in order to understand how to read these complex
financial issues and the impact of these non-cash charges and gains to our
financial statements. The changes have no effect at all on the day to day
operations of our company." Please carefully review the amended SEC
filings as they become available for review at www.sec.gov.
