OneFamily.com to Unite Family and Business at Family Business-to-Business Portal Site

March 17, 2000: OneFamily.com announced today that it will focus on uniting family, work and community life at its upcoming family portal site. The Company will create a business community and family portal that enables family-oriented buyers and sellers to easily interact and engage in on-line commerce.

"As we talk to people in communities across the country, it is clear that people integrate their personal and business lives dramatically. Our workdays and home life are increasingly blending together, and we need to find ways that make this reality helpful, not stressful. This is particularly true with small businesses who have historically revolved around family, community and providing a human touch to products and services," said Carol Fitzgerald, CEO and Co-Founder of OneFamily.com.

According to International Data Corporation, there will be 38.5 million small businesses by 2002 with Internet transactions of $107 billion. Businesses with fewer than 100 employees and income-generating home offices increasingly rely on the Internet. "As people meet their business, family and community needs via the Internet, the unification between work and home, consumer and businessperson will grow strong. We see significant market opportunity in providing an e-marketplace specifically catering to these needs," Ms. Fitzgerald added.

OneFamily.com will connect families and small businesses to help them improve their businesses and communities through content, Web-based tools and on-line support. For example, the site will balance business advice with health information and family vacation planners with a small business exchange.

A national sales network based in local communities will help enroll small businesses and families into OneFamily.com and provide the invaluable "human touch" needed to build long-lasting customer satisfaction and retention.
