Enhanced Services Buys
'BrandsForLess.com' for $35 Million

[December 23, 1998] Enhanced Services Company Inc. in Los
Angeles said that it has acquired privately held e-commerce firm
BrandsForLess.com for $35 million.

BrandsForLess.com operates an online department store featuring
about 60 departments that it calls "e-partments," selling name brand
goods at a discount. The company also develops and administers
various e-commerce stores appearing under the brand names of
various portal and destination sites.

"BrandsForLess.com has forged numerous strategic relationships
with some of the most popular names on the Internet to position itself
as a leading e- commerce solution for online shopping. Their success
is largely the result of addressing what consumer studies have
indicated to be missing within the online shopping
environment--convenience, simplicity and reliability at a discount,"
said Rob Chmiel, COO of Enhanced Services.

"This acquisition is a logical extension of our strategy to acquire
companies that have a proven track record and expertise of driving
revenue through the Internet," he said.

"We believe that the opportunity to join forces with the Enhanced team
represents an ideal situation for both entities," said George Russell,
BrandsForLess president and CEO. ". . .Enhanced Services brings
to the table rapid access to thousands of potential distributors of
BrandsForLess.com's e- commerce package."

BrandsForLess.com currently offers more than 1,500 brands, and
over 500,000 products on its site. It also develops and administers
various "virtual" department stores licensed under the names of major
portal and destination sites such as DejaNews.Com and CNN.com.

Enhanced Services said the combination of the brands site with its ad
network Zulu-tek and its pending acquisitions, "represent the
convergence under one umbrella of diverse services focused
specifically on the Internet as a communications and transaction
medium creating a new specialty in the e-commerce arena."
