LAKE HELEN, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2000

Attorneys.com, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATTY) today announced financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Sales for the third quarter of 2000 were $1,193,536, compared with $1,423,123 reported a year ago. For the same period, the company reported a net loss of $1,011,384, or $0.20 per share, compared with net income of $4,121, or $0.00 per share, recorded in the third quarter of 1999.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, sales totaled $3,564,813, compared with $4,298,101 a year ago. The company reported a net loss of $2,636,127, or $0.59 per share, compared with net income of $58,945, or $0.02 per share, reported for the same period in 1999.

"Results for the quarter and nine months were primarily impacted by expenses associated with the design and development of the company's planned attorney referral business and the related web site. During the quarter progress was made in our efforts to strengthen the company's marketing efforts and enhance infrastructure in anticipation of the launch of our 1-800-ATTORNEY and www.1800attorney.com product offerings. We will begin network sales later this month that will be recognized as revenues when we launch our Florida network, which is planned to occur by next June. Because the great majority of our revenues are expected to be realized through traditional off-line product offerings, we have decided to defer the launch of our new web site until 2001

to more closely coincide with the launch of our telephonic attorney referral network," said Peter S. Balise, president and chief executive officer.

To support the implementation and effectiveness of the company's expanding business model, Balise highlighted a recent marketing agreement with California-based Futuredontics, Inc., which operates the 1-800-DENTIST(R) referral network. Under the terms of the agreement, Futuredontics will provide consulting services to enhance the development and implementation of Attorneys.com's 1-800-ATTORNEY referral network. To more closely coincide with the company's 1-800-ATTORNEY telephone legal referral network, the company has acquired the service mark 1-800-ATTORNEY(R).

Attorneys.com expects to realize losses until sometime after the launch of its Florida attorney referral network. This is due to the fact that revenues can not be recognized until the network is operative while certain costs for development, infrastructure, and marketing must be recognized. "While these costs have a negative impact on our near-term performance, we believe the long-term benefits and potential more than justify these investments," Balise added.

Attorneys.com, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, PCNA Communications Corporation, are leading providers of services within the legal industry and are aggressively pursuing a strategy of providing comprehensive legal information to consumers, small businesses, and legal professionals.

1-800-DENTIST(R)is a registered service mark of Applied Anagramics, Inc. operated under license by Futuredontics, Inc. in the U.S.
