 North Coast Securities Initiates Coverage of Nettaxi Online
 Communities, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NTXY) with Buy Recommendation
 
 CAMPBELL, Calif., Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The following has been issued by North Coast
 Securities Corporation, a member of the
 National Association of Securities Dealers, CRD # 35982:
 
 North Coast Securities Analyst Erin Burpee has initiated coverage of Nettaxi Online
 Communities, Inc. with a buy recommendation.
 
 ''We view this company to be an undervalued participant in the rapidly growing Internet
 arena. With one-third of all e-mail users
 considering themselves part of a community, Nettaxi should profit from their ability to
 provide dynamic, theme-based web
 communities for their users. Internet users find community sites exceptionally appealing as
 they provide a powerful launching point
 from which to explore a variety of Internet activities while permitting users to control the
 site's appearance. The Nettaxi Community also allow its 'citizens' to create their own home
 page with free access to the site's Home Page Builder.
 
 ''Nettaxi has won numerous accolades, including the 33rd spot on the Hot 100 Best Web Site
 List, one position higher than The Globe
 online community (January 20, 1999). The Company was also awarded 44th place on the
 Media Metrix/PC Meter 500 list, based upon
 the number of unique visitors to its site. The Nettaxi website, www.nettaxi.com, is presently
 receiving over 70 million impressions per month.
 
 ''Unique amongst other online communities is Nettaxi's CD-ROM Internet tutorial, 'Internet
 the City.' Designed for new Internet users, this quick and easy animated guide to the Internet
 presents a 3D tour using interactive demonstrations and a series of digital movies. Not only
 does ''Internet the City'' act as a powerful marketing tool; ITC also allows users to connect
 to the Internet, guiding them directly to the Nettaxi site.
 
 ''Most notably, Nettaxi recently announced an alliance with Apple Computer, Inc. (1/20/99).
 Along with other leading software
 providers, Nettaxi will include its product in the Internet Curriculum Connection bundle
 offered to iMac customers at point of
 purchase. Nettaxi's innovative 'Internet the City' CD-ROM, will help educate teachers and
 students about all facts of the World Wide
 Web. Partnering with Apple Computer and receiving product exposure via Apple's popular
 new iMac, creates an enormous opportunity
 for Nettaxi to provide the leading educational tool for K-12 users.
 
 ''We recommend purchase of NTXY shares based upon management's technological
 expertise, commitment to building brand loyalty
 on the Web and ability to strike further alliances with key ISPs, Internet advertisers and other
 computer hardware and software
 manufacturers. Nettaxi is the only Online Community company offering an instructional
 product like the ITC CD-ROM, allowing the Company to capture mole new users and drive
 them to the Nettaxi site.''
