INFO FROM PNLK'S SITE:
1:
What is the importance of the Internet, and why is Pro NetLink (PNLK) unique among Internet providers?
Liken in importance to the telephone and the computer, the internet has proven to radically alter the environment in which companies, individuals, governments and organizations operate and conduct business on a world wide basis. The importance of PNLK is evident. Companies and individuals that choose to conduct business on line through the internet 2-3 years from now will be among the masses, companies and individuals that do not position and establish themselves on the internet 5 years from now will be considered outdated and in all probability no longer exist. PNLK can and does provide the most important major data service base that will generate income for those that access PNLK's website. PNLK, through the multi avenue revenue sources it has developed will grow the company revenue beyond your expectations. Businesses, governments, corporations and individuals are scrambling to tap into the speed, cost, savings and revenue producing potential available on the only true international multilingual information highway developed by PNLK. Given the tremendous speed with which the PNLK interactive web site and the internet is reshaping the national and international business communication and banking landscape, PNLK's offering promises to become one of the most important pro active investments of the millennium.

2:What is the current need for the services provided by PNLK internationally?
As world trade barriers and national boundaries are removed, the ever important trade between countries becomes more and more imperative as countries seek to increase their revenue. International trade for too many years was restricted to those companies, individuals and governments that could afford the cost of identifying and developing the knowledge as to who is buying, who is representing and who is selling as well as how to do business in a country. Many countries such as China who are third world, are quickly becoming the most important manufacturing base. In China, many have computers and many companies are on the internet. In China, governments subsidize companies to join the internet, use its services, develop sources for the sale of goods, manufacture of goods and financing of trade. No other service provider can say that they can deliver the information and services that PNLK provides. PNLK is in fact, a user friendly service provider speaking 6 languages and should be considered the cornerstone of international trade.

3: What is the current need for the services provided by PNLK domestically?
There is no other country in the world that produces more products, more waste material and more buyers and sellers. The United States Of America is the greatest market to sell into. Per Capita Income is unique in the world and product consumption is outstanding. The USA is experiencing an ever increasing number of citizens who are building their own home based businesses importing and exporting products. Most other developing countries do not have the raw material resources of the USA and must import raw material to support their growing manufacturing base. One example is waste paper and corrugated. Most waste paper is collected in recycling programs throughout the USA. What is not sold to our mills is exported to countries such as India, China, Japan, Korea, Italy, England, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan and many South American countries. Notice that these importing countries are countries that manufacture finished goods to sell back into the USA consumer market. The expansion of our export economy is important to the reduction of our Gross National Debt. There is no question that the increasing number of internet users will likely find PNLK the most important internet web service provider dedicated to assisting those in America as well as in foreign lands to conduct business. American companies wishing to find buyers for their products will advertise their products and services to the world buyers throughout PNLK's web site. American companies seeking to import products will be advertising on PNLK's user friendly web site. American companies and individuals seeking financial assistance to consummate an export or import transaction will benefit from the trade alliance financing provided by PNLK. PNLK will also benefit through all the revenue generated by all the services it provides.

4:Why is PNLK considered better and more informative than a typical chamber of commerce?
There is a chamber of commerce in all states and cities within the United States, all dedicated to serve their local merchants and communities. The chambers do not have the information facilities provided by PNLK and do not have the total information available to serve their clients needs. Chambers are often asked to assist in identifying suppliers and delivering information on the credit worthiness of suppliers. Though dedicated to expand business for the local area businessman, they act as a good information service and can eventually lead a buyer and seller to consummate a deal. PNLK is the equivalent of the world chamber of commerce, and connects together those who wish to sell with those who wish to buy along with all the information necessary to conduct and conclude successful business. We believe that the chamber of commerce will, in all probability, become members of PNLK and further recommend PNLK to those seeking assistance.

5:Why is PNLK positioned to be the most referred to international trade web site?
PNLK is spending almost $750,000.00 to develop and complete the single most important source of information available on the information highway dedicated to international trade and finance. Where else can you acquire all the information you need to conduct business and bridge the trade information and language barriers. PNLK is poised to be the leader.

6:What are the potential future needs of PNLK?
We anticipate that as the world membership of the internet increases, PNLK will have to expand in language facility beyond its current 6 master languages. Remember, the computer has not reached many countries yet. The expected number of internet users will be in excess of 700 million by the year 2000. PNLK is ready for the millennium and beyond.

7:What is the world wide potential market for PNLK membership and services?
With ever increasing computer speeds and ever increasing use of the internet, PNLK is positioned to become the leading information provider dedicated to international trade. Recently a world conference of telephonic service providers met to discuss the forthcoming take over of the telecommunications industry by the internet. Telephone companies are scrambling to position themselves as internet providers. They see the increased use of voice and video conversations through the internet as the end of their monopoly. The world wide market potential of PNLK is exponential and should grow in revenue as more and more business is conducted on the internet. Think of it if 700 million people and companies are expected to be on the internet by the year 2000, only two years from now, what is the projected internet use 10 years from now? PNLK is ready to serve, earn and deliver to its members and investors, a company that is the cornerstone of the future of the international trade.

8: Who is behind PNLK?
Jean-Pierre Collardeau, the founder of PNLK had the foresight to see the need and commit all of his available resources to develop PNLK. Mr. Collardeau has extensive experience in international trade having served in the banking community in many countries. Mr. Collardeau has been requested on many occasions to speak at seminars, universities and at companies seeking to expand their marketing knowledge world wide.

9: Who is a typical member of PNLK?
Municipalities, chamber of commerce, manufacturing companies, individuals, export and import brokers, artisans, tradesman and governments are all typical members of PNLK, Remember, PNLK has a revenue stream in place to benefit from all the above-advertising, banking, communications, membership, transaction and translation are just some.

10: What does a typical membership cost per year?
PNLK is under pricing its value to attract all to join and advertise on the PNLK world wide web. PNLK is offering low cost membership almost equal to the cost of the internet subscriber cost. Keep in mind the value of recurring monthly revenue as well as the value of the "HITS" recognized and received. The value of PNLK is evident.

11: What is PNLK prepared to do to gain membership?
Internet seminars & host country seminars held in our accountants and solicitors offices will greatly enhance the credibility and recognition of PNLK along with direct mail, television, chamber of commerce introduction, export & import associations meetings and government introduction to its companies. Sponsorship of all commerce agencies, magazines, newspapers, feature articles etc. These are just some of the planned media introductions and events. Notice that they are all conservative, low cost and productive to reach the host country's users.

12: How will membership payment be collected by PNLK for international subscribers?
Checks, credit cards and cyber cash are just a few of the forms already established by PNLK.

13: Why is PNLK considered a bargain for investors?
PNLK's expansive information services coupled with its transactional facilities offered at a price almost equaling the cost of just internet service, is of unbelievable value to those seeking to expand their business world wide. As part of PNLK's strategic plan, PNLK will offer unique customer service capability, users will always be able to reach a real person to talk them through any questions, products, or banking difficulties. Remember, just as subscribers have to pay to use the telephone, so users will pay to get on the internet. Members and companies will pay and keep paying PNLK. PNLK services are available currently only to large companies with their own export and import departments. Yes they will pay the modest fees and continue to pay. Remember the value of cable subscribers, ProNetLink is in a position to exceed the subscription income of even the best with a much broader world wide base.

14: What has PNLK done to test its market potential?
PNLK, using its available funds has paid for the initial development of its web site, the site is almost complete. PNLK has mailed on a test basis to numerous countries. The return exceeded 10% far greater than the expected 2%. All returns included checks

15: Why is PNLK's Internet web site so expensive to develop?
PNLK contracted with Proxicom, a master developer of web sites to facilitate and complete the web site plan formed by Jean-Pierre Collardeau. Mr. Collardeau has insisted that the site be dedicated to those who need help and completed in an extremely user friendly mode. PNLK has spent with Proxicom in excess of $150,000.00 of its own dollars to make the web site ultra complete and available to members in over 6 languages. To date, no other firm even comes close to delivering the information available in the user friendly format insisted upon by Mr. Collardeau, at greater cost and in so many languages. Obviously, unlike other public companies Mr. Collardeau is supporting the development costs himself, so that when completed at a cost approaching 1 Million Dollars, the PNLK web site will become the cornerstone of international trade and generate substantial recurring revenue for the company.

16: How does PNLK expect to solicit and gain members in foreign lands?
Seminars, banking referrals, export agency referrals and advertising on the host Internet provider introduction area. Professional referrals, full-scale telemarketing and direct mail are just some of the planned strategies.

17: How can the embassy of the United States help the growth of PNLK?
The United States Embassies are besieged by people seeking information on trade with the U.S. Most foreign embassies are always asked to find suppliers, distributors, salesman, etc. in many countries. Obviously, PNLK can make the embassies jobs easier and much more productive.

18: Why are PNLK's services so important in developing countries?
Developing countries are trying to find suppliers of needed products. Developed countries are trying to find buyers in developing countries. PNLK is the answer to both.

19: Besides membership revenue, what other forms of revenue are PNLK developing?
* On-site Advertising
* Customer lead Fax Service
* Lead development
* Direct mail services
* On-line digital printing

20: What form of banking and financing facilities will PNLK provide to its membership?
