'Go-live Programme' to Commence

On-Line PLC
25 November 1999



ON-LINE PLC

ADVFN, pioneering Internet community of private investors from On-line PLC
begins its Go-live Programme on December 2nd 1999.

Created in June and in closed Beta testing, the Advanced Financial Network
(ADVFN) began at the direct request of a group of internet users who were
looking for a new kind of investment community - one that put them in charge.
ADVFN has done just that.  ADVFN provides a real, useful and relevant
environment to aid its users investment decisions.

ADVFN is evolving constantly with more new features being added. The site,
which offers both a public and a subscriber section, currently has two
easy-to-use yet powerful Bulletin Board facilities, supported by a team of
developers and financial journalists. During the test period the
ground-breaking ADVFN Index was developed. It was created by a system that has
allowed each bulletin board user to nominate one share and second a number of
the other nominated shares. The Index went live on 1st September 1999.  In a
two-month period the nominated portfolio of 20 shares gained 21.8% - equating
to 130.8% per annum over a year.  In this period the FTSE 100 has fallen by
0.3% and the FTSE All Share also fell by 1.69%. 

As the Go-live Programme develops, ADVFN will offer:
* Comprehensive fundamental data from Hemmington Scott
* Real time share price information
* Real time individual trade reports
* Market maker lists
* Stock monitor pages
* Get Quote fast quote page
* RNS News

The latest additions to the service also include a referrer facility to
www.21store.com offering ADVFN users and subscribers direct purchase offers on
Psion and other leading electronic products and a financial bookshop provided
by British financial book specialists, Global Investor Bookshops.

As a web-based product and one created in direct response to calls from the
market place, ADVFN will grow and develop according to the needs of its users.
 The service will be continually enhanced from the day the Go-live Programme
begins.
