ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Feb 10, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- David C. Skinner,
Jr., President and CEO of Winners Internet Network, Inc. (WINR),
www.winr.net, today officially announced that WINR has been officially
advised by Dr. Peter Keppeler of Ernst and Young, Bern, Switzerland,
that WINR as a public traded company has the right to participate in
the ownership of shares in the application to be filed for a
Liechtenstein Private Banking License.

Dr. Keppeler was the author of the Liechtenstein banking laws that were
passed by parliament. WINR has been working with Dr. Peter Keppeler in
recent months in exploratory meetings concerning the filing of an
application for an Internet Banking License in Liechtenstein.

According to Mr. Skinner, "We have been waiting for this important
advice in order to proceed with our comprehensive business plan for
Global Internet e-commerce, including Internet Banking and Brokering.
We feel that this ability will enable WINR to achieve its targeted
goals to create the most comprehensive and secure foundation for
e-commerce. All of our plans in our business model are being put into
place and the ability to have a major share in the application process
is immeasurable."

Internet Banking and Internet Brokering are the fastest growing
segments in the entire financial sector. Market capitalizations of
major U.S. American competitors are without any exception in the multi
billion Dollar range, e.g. Charles Schwab ($31.4 billion,
www.schwab.com), Ebay ($21.3 billion, www.ebay.com), and Ameritrade
$2.8 billion, www.ameritrade.com). Especially the European market of
Internet Banking and Brokering is currently rapidly developing and WINR
will be very well positioned already in this early stage. Together with
European marketing experts WINR is currently developing an aggressive
marketing strategy to get a significant market share of the European
market with approximately 10 million online banking customers and an
enormous annual growth rate. Also the market capitalization of major
European competitors are without any exception in the multi billion
Dollar range, e.g. on the German market which is currently over 2.5
million online banking customers the most important European market:
ConSors AG ($3.9 billion, www.consors.de), Direkt Anlage Bank AG ($2.3
billion, www.diraba.de), and Entrium Direct Bankers AG ($1.1 billion,
www.entrium.de).

According to Mr. Skinner, "In this competitive environment WINR will
have the distinction of sole use of the safe and secure "-Plus"
Network, the highest encryption technology available in the world, and
the location of Liechtenstein where the government respects
confidentiality and where absolute privacy is protected by law.
Therefore WINR is going to be competition free in the European and
Global Marketplace for Internet Banking and Internet Brokering."

Mr. Skinner continued: "We have the software to insure the highest
level of security for all financial transactions. This coupled with the
significant ownership of SupraNet AG, the largest Internet Provider in
Liechtenstein, and their 448 key bit encryption, and recent signed
contracts for processing with the largest media group in Switzerland
gives us the credibility worldwide that we have been seeking. The
European marketplace holds the future expanded growth of the Internet
without question and we are now being considered as a member of that
community."

According to Ronald Oehri, CEO and President of SupraNet AG and Board
member of WINR, "We continue to have significant inquiries from around
the world concerning our Supra Secure Mail and its utilization in more
areas than we imagined. Our share of B2B communication will be a
significant share not only in the quickly unfolding European e-commerce
and Internet Banking market, but also the worldwide markets."

Mr. Oehri continued: "We are the only ones able to offer the new 448
bit key standard for encryption that is our proprietary technology. We
expect our new encryption to become the worldwide Business-to-Business
standard. Encryption coupled with the secure and safe processing of
WINR adds a new dimension of safety for the Internet Merchant, the
Vendor and the entire financial community." Mr. Oehri continued, "Do
not forget that WINR has the new e-swipe TM technology which is their
proprietary product that provides a seamless connection to the Internet
Customer, Merchant and Financial Institutions in e-commerce and
Internet Banking."
