ENTERPRISE RISK MITIGATION


MANARIS  CORPORATION  SIGNS A SHARE PURCHASE  AGREEMENT WITH A LEADING PLAYER IN
THE SECURITY INDUSTRY FOR THE SALE OF CLI

MONTREAL,   CANADA  (February  9,  2006)  -  Manaris   Corporation   ("Manaris")
(OTCBB:MANS)  (FRANKFURT  WKN:255471) today announces that it has signed a Share
Purchase  Agreement  (the  "Agreement")  to  sell  all  of  the  shares  of  its
wholly-owned  subsidiary,  6327915 Canada Inc., the holding company of Chartrand
Laframboise  Inc. and Bureau de credit  commercial  Inc.  (the "CLI Group") to a
leading  player in the security  industry (the  "Purchaser")  for a price of C$5
million  comprised of cash and common shares of the Purchaser.  A portion of the
purchase  price  will be used to pay back debt  incurred  when the CLI Group was
acquired. The transaction is expected to close within the following ten days.

The  transaction  is  a  step  towards  strengthening  Manaris'  balance  sheet,
streamlining  activities  and  increasing  the  company's  focus  on  its  other
subsidiaries,  C-Chip  Technologies  Corporation  ("C-Chip")  and  Avensys  Inc.
("Avensys").

Commenting  on the  proposed  sale of CLI Group,  Manaris'  President & CEO John
Fraser stated, "CLI Group is a highly-regarded firm and a leader in the security
services  industry.  Manaris'  other  subsidiaries,  namely  C-Chip and Avensys,
operate in growth industries and offer very significant opportunities for future
expansion both organically and through  acquisitions.  The sale of CLI to one of
North America's  leading security and cash handling  services firms is a win-win
situation  that  creates  better  synergies  for CLI. It will permit  Manaris to
concentrate on its strategic objectives for its two manufacturing businesses."
