(OTC BB:BLLS - news), a consolidator of Internet billing clearinghouse services, began operations in November 1998. By virtue of a reverse merger with a company quoted on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board, billserv.com began trading on Dec. 3, 1998, under the symbol ''BLLS.'' Established in July 1998, billserv.com is a consolidator in the Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment (EBPP) Industry. EBPP is a process of presenting a bill in a secure environment on the Internet and allowing the customer to pay the bill through electronic transfer of funds. Market projections indicate that consumers will view and pay over 1 billion bills through EBPP by the year 2001, increasing to more than 8 billion by 2007. The management at billserv.com includes Michael R. Long, chairman and chief executive officer; Louis A. Hoch, director, president and chief operating officer; and David S. Jones, director and senior vice president. Michael R. Long has 29 years of senior executive management and systems development experience in six publicly traded companies, including U.S. Long Distance (now owned by Qwest Communications International (NASDAQ:QWST - news)) and Billing Concepts (NASDAQ:BILL - news). Most recently, Long served as a director of business development in the financial services sector for Andersen Consulting. Louis A.

Hoch has held positions with U.S. Long Distance, Billing Concepts and Andersen Consulting. David S. Jones has taken an active role in the electronic billing industry since its inception, defining the strategic direction of an electronic billing product for an industry leader in billing for telecom companies. Jones previously held an Internet engineering position with Billing Concepts. billserv.com has four projected revenue streams: eServe (Internet billing clearinghouse services), ePublishing (electronic publishing), eCare (Internet-enabled customer care center) and eConsulting (professional services). billserv.com targets small-to-medium volume billers, such as utilities, credit card companies, financial services enterprises and large ''print-house'' service companies that require assistance into entry of EBPP for their customers' conversion to EBPP. The company expects to have its systems operational in March 1999. billserv.com today also announced the appointment of Lori Turner as its chief financial officer. Turner formerly served as the CFO of Docucon, an electronic imaging company headquartered in San Antonio. Turner will be principally responsible for the financial decisions of the company. Michael R.
