                      ADVFN.com PLC
               ('ADVFN' or 'the Company')
                            
                            
   ADVFN.COM PLC ANNOUNCES NEW LEVELS OF SERVICE, NEW
  OVERSEAS OFFICES AND LAUNCH OF 3D DATA VISUALISATION
                        SOFTWARE.


ADVFN,  one  of the UK's foremost providers of  financial
information,  today announces the launch of new  enhanced
service levels on its website.

From  1 August 2000, all real time prices (level 1  data)
will  be supplied on www.advfn.com free of charge  in  an
unlimited format.

ADVFN's  new  premium service provides private  investors
with  financial  information  previously  restricted   to
investment  institutions at an affordable rate.   ADVFN's
premium services now include Level 2 data, with competing
market  makers  screens (SEAQ/AIM)  and  the  order  book
(SETS). ADVFN offers new Level 2 premium services at  £35
(+vat) per month including exchange fees.

The Company is also pleased to announce the UK launch  of
its   data   visualisation  tool,   2C.   Using   ADVFN's
proprietary  technology,  data  can  now  be   accurately
displayed  in  a  3  dimensional format enabling  instant
comprehension  and  data  interpretation.  The  software,
initially  developed  utilising stock  market  data,  was
launched in the USA last month using Quote.com'
s live Nasdaq feed.

ADVFN is launching
2C  as generic software for use with text, spreadsheet or
databases, such as Microsoft  Excel or Microsoft  Access.
The    company   has   received   interest   from   major
corporations, government and academia, and are in  active
negotiations.

As part of its overseas expansion, ADVFN has opened a new
French subsidiary at 5 rue de Castiglione, Paris -  75001
The  subsidiary  will  be  headed  by  Binidicte  Nauleau
(Director General).

The  company  is  also  in formal  negotiations  for  the
opening  of  websites in the Far East.   ADVFN  announces
that  it  may seek to obtain a separate listing of  these
overseas  subsidiaries on their local stock  markets,  as
and when market conditions permit. The resultant sale  of
minority  interests may enable the company to raise  cash
in local markets and enhance shareholder value for ADVFN.

Michael Boydell, Managing Director of ADVFN commented:

  'We  are  delighted to launch our radical  new  service
levels which we believe will level the playing field  for
the  retail investor, and give them the same edge as  the
big institutions and broking houses. The web has become a
powerful medium for private investors to access financial
data,   and  it  appears  that   financial  data  content
companies have become  one of the success stories of  the
Web.    We   believe  these  service  enhancements   will
substantially  enhance our site use and our  position  in
the market place.

ADVFN  has made considerable progress over the last  four
months   since  flotation.   It  is  now  an  established
provider of real time financial information and has  seen
page  impression rates escalate to 10 million a month,  a
400%  increase.  The Company is careful to  ensure  tight
financial  control and has a controlled  cash  flow  with
current  cash  position  of  £3.2m  compared  with  £3.6m
(20/3/00) upon listing.

We are pleased to launch our first overseas operation and
are  excited about the prospects for further European and
Far  Eastern expansion. We have held extensive talks with
a  number  of parties and look forward to also  providing
add on services and gateways on our sites.

The launch of 2c is an exciting progression for ADVFN, we
now have generic software which we believe will become  a
strong global brand.'
