Exhibit 99.1 YP CORP. ANNOUNCES RESIGNATION OF ANGELO TULLO AND APPOINTS PETER J. BERGMANN AS CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER MESA, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 30, 2004--YP Corp., (OTCBB:YPNT - News) a ---- ---- leading provider of Internet-based yellow pages and related services, announced today that, effective immediately, Angelo Tullo has resigned as an officer and director of the Company. The Company's Board of Directors appointed Peter J. Bergmann, a current director of the Company, to succeed him as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. This change was prompted in part by the fact that on Friday, May 28, 2004, indictments were handed down on the former management of American Business Funding Corp., including Angelo Tullo. Mr. Bergmann has been a board member since April 2002. He is quite familiar with the business operations of the Company and brings to the position public company experience. Mr. Bergmann's background in advertising and marketing will be helpful to the Company, which is essentially an advertising company. "We regret this drastic turn of events for Mr. Tullo who has done amazing work with YP," said Mr. Bergmann. "It is important, however, for the public to understand that YP and its other officers, directors and employees were not named in the indictment or involved with the matters for which Mr. Tullo has been charged. With the excellent team that is in place here at YP, including our Chief Operating Officer, Penny Spaeth and Chief Technology Officer John Raven it will be business as usual for us." The Company has shown record revenues and profits for fourteen consecutive quarters. According to John Langdon, one of the Company's recently appointed independent directors, "Peter adds a level of stability and credibility to the Company at a time of great challenge. We all believe in the business model. It is time to put the distractions this Company has experienced behind us and refocus on that business model that has brought us our consistent success."
