SERIOUS BUSINESS SOFTWARE FORMS STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH TRW TO LAUNCH NEW
CD ROM SOFTWARE PRODUCTS FOR SMALL BUSINESS

April 15, 1996 -- TAMPA, FL -- Serious Business Software, Inc., a new
company dedicated to providing revolutionary software products designed to
make small businesses run more efficiently and effectively, has announced
that it has partnered with TRW Information Systems and Services to launch
its two initial products. TRW, a leading provider of consumer and business
credit, direct marketing and real estate information services, is
providing source data for two unique new CD-ROM software packages designed
to empower the more than 30 million small office/home office (SOHO)
businesses in America to compete more effectively with corporate America
and stimulate competition in the marketplace. 

According to Edward Glaser, Serious Business Software's President and COO,
"Our alliance with TRW assures that our products will offer the small
business market the highest quality, most up-to-date comprehensive data
that was cost prohibitive for small businesses until now. We believe that
Business ConnX and Neighborhood ConnX, our first two products, will level
the playing field by expanding the capabilities of small businesses and
allowing them to compete on a whole new level." 

Serious Business Software's two initial product offerings, Business ConnX
and Neighborhood ConnX, are slated for May, 1996 delivery to computer and
office product retailers across the country. 

Business ConnX is designed for business-to-business marketing, containing
detailed information and business credit data on over 11 million U.S.
businesses. Neighborhood ConnX is designed for business-to-consumer
marketing, providing direct marketing information on over 90 million U.S.
households. Both products will enhance marketplace competition and create
more choice and opportunity for consumers. "Serious Business Software and
TRW strongly believe information use should not only create value but also
be fair and respectful of individual privacy. The ConnX products balance
those interests and give small business the benefits of these powerful
information tools," said Martin Abrams, director privacy and consumer
policy for TRW. 

The CD-ROM products are fully integrated, easy-to-learn, and fun to use,
offering leading edge technology, a fast search engine and fully
integrated geographic visualization with mapping unlike any other product
on the market today. Business ConnX and Neighborhood ConnX give the user
access to the same data that large corporations have, giving them the
ability to find new customers and increase their sales by conducting
sophisticated direct marketing programs at a fraction of the cost. 

Serious Business Software and TRW's strategic partnership involves both
companies in the marketing of Business ConnX and Neighborhood ConnX, as
well as joining forces to develop and roll out additional new products in
the future. 

"In addition to our strategic partnership to market Business ConnX and
Neighborhood ConnX, Serious Business Software and TRW are working together
to develop other new products for the increasingly competitive future
marketplace," Glaser said. 

Serious Business Software is dedicated to developing software solutions
that create a new genre of serious business tools to enhance the
productivity and capability of the SOHO Market. Serious Business Software
is the exclusive licensed agent for the Americas for Optisys AB of Sweden.
