Technology “Fast 50” List

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 25, 2005 – Ritz Interactive, Inc. today announced that it ranked number 379 on the 2005 Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology companies in North America. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over five years, from 2000 through 2004. Ritz Interactive – which operates a number of e-commerce sites, including its flagship sites RitzCamera.com, WolfCamera.com and BoatersWorld.com – grew 347% percent during this period.

In addition to ranking on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, Ritz Interactive ranked number 14 on the Orange County Technology Fast 50, which is a list of the 50 fastest-growing technology firms in the Orange County area.

Fred H. Lerner, president and CEO of Ritz Interactive, Inc., credits the company’s 347% revenue growth over the past five years to high-demand product offerings, an emphasis on customer service, and the popularity of online shopping. “We are pleased with the growth of our e-commerce network since the launching of our first site in 1999,” said Lerner. “Our websites offer a variety of lifestyle products ranging from cameras and photographic accessories, to boating and fishing equipment, to golf apparel.”

“Achieving sustained revenue growth of 347% over five years is a tremendous achievement,” said Tony Kern, deputy national managing principal of Deloitte ’s Technology, Media & Telecommunications industry practice.

Fast 500 Selection and Qualifications
