Ness Energy Presented Contract
WILLOW PARK, TEXAS, U.S.A./NETANYA, ISRAEL: March 4,
2004, / MacReport -FirstCall/ -- Ness Energy International, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: NESS) announced the receipt of a major
contract proposing an arrangement to further the exploration and
development of it's Ft. Worth Basin leasehold acreage owned
by Ness Energy International, Inc. These interests are
located in Parker County, Texas. A major independent oil and gas
company proposes that they take the lead in the development. This
was presented in the form of a binding offer, not letter of
intent, subject to Ness acceptance. Ness considers events here to
help the company advance in its quest to build assets, cash flow
and increase shareholder value. Ultimately, this will allow Ness
the continued ability to move forward and, we believe, locate a
vast resource of oil and gas not only in the United States, but
also in Israel. Management is, for the most part, pleased with the
offer, but will take a few days to consider what is best for the
long term plans of the company.
Plans Turn Into Action, With Results
In January and then in February, 2004, Ness announced new
discussions and efforts with larger independent oil and gas
companies seeking to become involved and joint venture together,
which may lead to a vast expansion of Texas exploration and
development. Ness further announced the execution of an initial
agreement with one company, granting that company a right of first
refusal to acquire Ness leases. NOW, in March, Ness plans have
turned into action, and action has produced results.
Ness Energy holds a large contiguous acreage position in Parker
County Texas encompassing nearly 7,000 acres for the development
of oil and gas. Exploration and development is required to take
captive the resources lying beneath the surface of the earth,
including, but not exclusively, the vast resources of the Barnett
Shale. The Barnett Shale is a highly prolific gas formation that
is quickly becoming one of the largest gas fields in the Nation.
Ness believes cooperation from larger independent companies is
necessary to advance the long range goals it strives to
accomplish. This will allow Ness to operate and pursue certain
projects, both here in the Ft. Worth Basin, and elsewhere.
Now, in March, Ness Energy again shows that Ness plans don't
remain plans very long. Action equals results. Results have
materialized because of a hard working team led by Ness' C.E.O.,
Sha Stephens, this team once again, has brought fruit to the Ness
table. Sha manages a company that is stretched out over two
continents with offices and operations in the U.S. and Israel. He
has pushed very hard the past few weeks with discussions
on Wall Street, which resulted in the hiring of a new team of
Northeast accountants, several options of cooperation with several
different brokerage firms and investment bankers. He is now
discussing and considering term sheet details and opportunities in
these various areas. This whole time, remaining a family man,
making baseball games and helping shuffle kids to their various
functions. Even though his family has certainly seen less of him
lately, they continue to support him with love and
encouragement.
According to President and CEO Sha Stephens, "We believe that
one key to success as a company, and as an international operator
now working in Israel, is active cash flow. Cash flow that can
only be realized by having put a drill bit in the ground and
turning to the right. The best way for Ness to accomplish this, in
the most prudent manner, is to allow others to join in and ease
the financial responsibility we would bear ourselves. Ness has
never been the company to "promote" their deals to the general
public. We have attempted to keep in house, all we can possibly
keep, but we can't keep it all and cover all projects we are
working on. That is why we have made known our desires for
participation, and are now considering this joint venture. This
will expedite the realization of cash flow on a more timely basis
than we are able to accomplish on our own. I plan, will act, and
will generate the results this company, our company, Ness Energy,
needs to be successful. The contract, on the table and under
consideration, is supportive of our long term belief we have
something of real value here at Ness in Parker County, Texas."
The offer, binding upon the independent company is wholly
subject to Ness Energy's acceptance of its terms and offers. The
terms of the offer and contents of the contract have, at the
request of the potential partner, been kept, and will be kept,
confidential. Management asks for continued prayers for all Ness
efforts including the analysis and determination of action on the
contract offer.

About Ness-The Vision
The current business of the Company is focused upon development

"Science and The Bible shake hands" and that Ness will achieve the
vision of the location and recovery of an abundant source of oil
and gas in Israel to supply Israel and the Christian communities
with supernatural wealth.
