SyCoNet.com Retail Division to Begin Advertising On WWF Website Business/Technology Editors MANASSAS, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 1999--SyCoNet.com, Inc. (OTC BB:SYCD), the leading U.S. distributor of Anime (Japanese animated) videos and DVDs, today announced that its retail division, Alternative Video Warehouse, www.altvidwar.com, will advertise on the hugely popular World Wrestling Federation (WWF) Interactive Network, a high-traffic website located at www.wwf.com. Drawing 650,000 unique visitors per week, WWF boasts the number one sport-specific site and the third overall sport site most frequently visited on the Internet today. The website, which features superstar profiles, event schedules and news, and sells videos and DVDs, appeals to the same target market as SyCoNet.com. "The current craze of World Wrestling Federation sports entertainment is similar to the explosive demand for Anime products such as Pokemon(R). These target markets tend to cross over as is witnessed by the great number of people we spotted wearing WWF T-shirts at leading Anime conventions this year," stated Sy Picon, chief executive officer of SyCoNet.com. "Advertising on the WWF website represents an amazing opportunity for us that we expect will capture the attention of thousands of Anime fans and drive up our online retail division sales. The campaign will run for three months beginning on November 15th, which is timed to unveil our newly revamped www.altvidwar.com site," added Sy Picon. Jarod Cantor, account executive for WWF Interactive, commented, "We are very excited to have SyCoNet.com become an advertiser on the WWF Interactive Network and are confident its outstanding Anime product line will appeal to our audience. We look forward to developing a long-lasting and fruitful relationship with SyCoNet.com." SyCoNet.com, Inc., formerly SyCo Distribution, Inc., distributes Anime Japanese animated movies, including the enormously popular Pokemon(R) video series, multimedia games and software, DVDs, CDs, toys, apparel, and related merchandise to over 1,000 wholesale and retail accounts nationwide through two high-traffic websites, a catalog, and direct sales campaigns.
