Bentley Commerce Entered the Lucrative Corporate Barter Sector This Week and Closes Its First Multi-Million Dollar Transaction.

Business Editors

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2004

Exclusive Agency Agreement Signed with Intertrade Capital Group to

Manage Bentley's Corporate Barter Division

During its first week of operation, Bentley Commerce Corporation's (OTCBB:BLYC) corporate barter group closed a $5 million asset purchase agreement to acquire resort condos and suites for cash equivalent trade credit. With its corporate barter accounts receivable trading format, Bentley Commerce is able to purchase future excess capacity and underperforming assets without using its own assets or cash for purchasing.

This was the first transaction carried out through an exclusive contract Bentley Commerce has with Intertrade Capital Group, Ltd., a leading international trade finance and corporate barter company. The contract joins the Bentley Crump Barter Network of 180 independent barter exchanges that serve about 50,000 small to midsize businesses, with Intertrade's team of international trade finance and corporate barter specialists. Bentley's new division will enable the individual exchanges within the Crump Barter Network to initiate corporate trade transactions and to obtain the resources necessary to successfully complete transactions. Bentley will also execute corporate trades that originate from sources outside of the Crump Network.

Corporate Barter, is a $60 billion potential market. More than 40% of all major companies participate in corporate trade though a handful of corporate barter companies. Most of these corporate barter companies specialize in media trades, offering media in exchange for the excess capacity, production or inventory of their clients. The problem for many of the client companies is that many do not advertise, or have other needs and have little benefit of trading their non-performing assets just for media.

Bentley Commerce plans to overcome these limitations for its corporate barter clients because its corporate barter group focuses and specializes on non-media trade opportunities for its clients, and expects to significantly expand its client company's opportunities to utilize trade dollars. Through Bentley Commerce's commercial and industrial buying consortium, a company can use Bentley Cash Equivalent Trade Credit to reduce the cash they need to purchase a wide range of business products and services, such as: printing, telecomm, voice and data, construction services, facilities management services, warehousing materials, freight, equipment and machinery, furniture, fixtures and equipment, etc.

Unlike retail barter dollars that are used for purchasing in a trade exchange, corporate trade cash equivalent credit is used with cash for purchasing, and therefore has a negligible cost to a corporate barter company. In retail barter a member of a trade exchange can use their trade dollars earned from the sale of their products or services to purchase other items they need, typically at 100% trade, and therefore a trade dollar has an actual cost, which is the cost of a company's own product or service.

The hospitality sector has successfully used corporate barter for many years. For example a hotel can reduce their cash requirements for purchasing and capital improvements. The offset in spending is paid in empty room nights that would have gone unsold. If the cost of those room nights were 20% of the selling price, the hotel would save 80% on purchasing for the amount of trade they were able to use each year.
