Winners Internet Network, Inc. Announces Acquisition of E-commerce Network.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Feb 7, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE).

Winners Internet Network, Inc. Announces Acquisition of E-commerce Network
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Feb 7, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- David C. Skinner,
Jr., President and CEO of Winners Internet Network, Inc. (WINR),
www.winr.net, today officially announced that the company has completed
negotiations to acquire the entire e-commerce "-Plus" Network from
CyberLink Monetary Systems, Est., a Liechtenstein company.

WINR has been working with the CyberLink Group over the past year and
will continue to receive their full support in the processing, handling
and administration of these sites. According to the President and CEO
of WINR, David C. Skinner, Jr., "The acquisition is dynamic for
e-commerce since WINR now has full and unrestricted ownership of all
domains including the exclusive processing for all sites expected to be
added very quickly. CyberLink has been registering sites under the name
www._________-plus.com including domains such as cyberbank-plus,
commodities-plus, mortgages-plus, loans-plus, mutual funds-plus,
eshop-plus and over 30 other registered sites."

"This contract virtually allows WINR and its affiliate SupraNet AG, the
largest Internet Provider in Liechtenstein that WINR holds a
significant ownership as announced last week, to have complete hands on
with the marketing, processing and administration of the "-Plus"
Network", Skinner continued.

According to Ronald Oehri, the CEO and President of SupraNet AG and a
Liechtenstein native, "We already have contracts in active negotiation
and sites will be added very soon. We will have a significant share of
the European e-commerce market since we are the only ones that will be
able to offer the new 448 bit key standard for encryption that is our
proprietary technology. Our new encryption will become the worldwide
Business-to-Business standard. Encryption coupled with the secure and
safe processing of WINR adds a new dimension of safety for both the
Internet Merchant and the Vendor. Add to this," Oehri continued, "WINR
has the new e-swipe TM technology which they developed that provides a
seamless connection to the Internet Customer, Merchant and Financial
Institutions."

WINR and SupraNet have combined forces to not only process transactions
in a safe and secure environment, but to provide host services, leased
lines, and expanded Internet and communication services to merchants,
customers and financial institutions.

Mr. Oehri and Mr. Skinner said, "We have been receiving inquiries from
worldwide markets who want to locate their servers with us, but were
concerned about transaction safety. Our new package offers the highest
level of security for the transaction, in addition to communication
between customers and merchants, stockbrokerage houses, trust
companies, attorneys, and all others with a secure e-mail that
guarantees privacy not only for messages, instructions or orders, but
also the sender's name and the recipient name as well. This is a new
era and with our combined technology we will be able to fulfill the
customer and business needs."

Oehri and Skinner continued, "One of the main problems with security
breach is that Internet customers are forced to use their credit card
each and every time they make a transaction, thereby increasing the
risk of theft dramatically. With the "-Plus" Network, the customer has
a seamless connection to all merchants who are using our processing and
encryption package. They also have the option of using Western Union
and wire transfers. Merchants and customers who use the "-Plus" Network
will have the advantage over the traditional e-commerce methods that
are currently in use. We are the protection that the customer has
needed and deserves. Best of all, SupraNet AG has hosted the WINR
processing system for some time and knows that it works."

According to the market analysis based upon the Gartner Group's
Dataquest, the worldwide market for e-commerce is expected to grow over
1,000% from approximately $35 billion to $400 billion from 1999 to
2003. Also according to another reliable source, Forrester Research,
e-commerce revenues are expected to grow over 1,000% from less than
$100 billion to approximately $1,200 billion from 1999 to 2003. Within
this rapidly growing e-commerce area, WINR is a leader in the safest
technology and software for processing all kinds of transactions. WINR
has been recognized by leading credit card companies for their efforts
in this regard. According to David Skinner, Jr., "The valuable "-Plus"
Network will enable WINR to obtain a significant market share of this
emerging e-commerce sector. So WINR is very well positioned already in
this early stage and will have the distinction of sole use of this safe
and secure "-Plus" Network in the e-commerce environment to be
competition free in the Global Marketplace."
