Global C-Commerce Leader Serves Up Strategic

Internet Solutions to Fosters Brewing Group,

from New Offices in Sydney and Melbourne

C-bridge Internet Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:CBIS), the leading provider of c-commerce solutions, formally announced the launch of its Australasian practice, and the opening of its offices in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. Among those clients engaging in this exciting new region is the Australian brewing, wine, and entertainment business, Fosters Brewing Group.

"Internet-enabled business practices are having a global impact on the way companies are doing business, throughout their supply chains and directly with their customers," said Joe Bellini, president & CEO of C-bridge. "Forward-thinking companies like Fosters recognize the importance of valid and reliable business analysis as a means of guiding their efforts. C-bridge offers a uniquely robust analytic methodology, and welcomes this increasing awareness."

The Australasian region is rapidly becoming a global market force, with many companies looking to capitalize on the tremendous opportunities of Internet-enabled business processes. C-bridge's presence in Australasia will enable the innovative Web integrator to further meet the needs of a geometrically expanding B2B market in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and in business hubs throughout Asia Pacific. The company's expansion is rooted in its commitment to customers and the conviction that the best way to ensure the success of its clients is through its local presence and its supplying expertise.

"C-bridge is all about helping our customers to win in this new world of e-commerce," said Tony Killin, regional practice director for Australasia. "With our highly skilled team of leading-edge consultants and our substantial e-commerce knowledge and experience, we are able to break the bonds of traditional timeframes, helping our clients rapidly attain Internet capability."

Fosters Proactively Leverages the Internet

C-bridge has been contracted by Fosters Brewing Group to develop its B2B portal for the hospitality industry. C-bridge, working with leading software developer Oracle, is providing the technical, project management, and organizational framework for this Internet business application. This unique application of leading Internet business strategy, technology, and branding will allow Fosters and its vendors to order and track goods and services, and to take advantage of such things as promotions and delivery options. The portal will extend service to Fosters' valued business customers, and will also reach out to additional customers.

"Fosters is looking to deliver greater efficiencies within the business," said Nuno D'Aquino, deputy chief executive of Fosters Brewing Group. "C-bridge is helping us implement a Web-based initiative that will offer product breadth and higher levels of service to more than 20,000 customers, ultimately delivering future growth and shareholder value."

Mr. Chow is an associate member of the Australian Institute of Chartered Accountants and is a member of the EDP Auditor's Association.
