8000inc Provides Investor Update October 2010

8000inc (EIGH) state that it is aware of the unfounded and litigious statements being made publicly. It takes this matter extremely seriously and all incidents of this nature are passed on to our legal team. The true shareholders of 8000inc should be made aware that any and all unsubstantiated defamatory claims made by individuals with vested interests are being investigated and will be dealt with accordingly and publicly. The company would like to state that it did not profit from what was a corporate error and has corrected its internal processes to ensure there is no repeat.

Shareholders have reported that non-associated, non-affiliated third party entities have been recorded as paying the cancelled dividend for and on behalf of 8000inc into shareholder accounts. The payments exceeded the recorded short position in the company. It is therefore clear and unequivocal that there is a non reported short position in 8000inc which we believe could be detrimental to the company and shareholder value.

Due to these facts and current public activity, the Board has taken the following actions:

• Initiated a reduction in the available shares in the public float to 20M by acquiring shares to retire.
• Expansion of its financing model for acquisitions to extend its portfolio and to fund the Sporting Centre of Excellence and Corporate HQ.
• Progression to a higher exchange. The actions taken will enable 8000inc to meet the criteria for automatic upward progression through business activity and valuation. The company will continue to follow its business plan as publicized.
• The Board is currently assessing a proposed offer to privatize the Group and a merger with a target entity established on a higher exchange. The company will announce its decision accordingly.
