Auto Network Secures Credit Facility

               $500,000 Line to be Used for National Expansion

    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 6 -- Auto Network USA
(OTC Bulletin Board: ANWK), the fastest-growing publicly-held wholesaler of
used luxury automobiles in the country, today announced it had secured a
$500,000 credit facility from Scottsdale, Arizona-based First International
Bank & Trust.
    Auto Network will use the funds to finance its national expansion by
acquiring and consolidating independent automobile wholesaling companies in
key geographic areas, providing Auto Network with access to a large and
growing volume of high-quality, late-model luxury automobiles.  By creating a
national presence, Auto Network expects to take advantage of geographic
discrepancies in the values of cars, helping improve overall operating
margins.  The credit facility represents Auto Network's first transaction with
a traditional lending source and comes on the heels of Auto Network's best-
ever operating month.  During the month of April, Auto Network recorded in
excess of $6 million in sales and a record volume of cars sold.
    "This revolving facility will enable Auto Network to expand our unique
auto wholesaling system operating in Arizona and replicate it in key
geographic regions of the country," said Mike Stuart, President and CEO of
Auto Network.  "First International Bank & Trust recognizes the potential of
Auto Network's growth opportunities and we look forward to seizing those
opportunities to produce meaningful revenue growth and improved shareholder
value."
    Auto Network USA is a wholesaler of used luxury automobiles, providing new
car dealers with an alternative to the auto auctions by purchasing and re-
selling trade-in vehicles.  The Company is capitalizing on the billion-dollar
wholesale market by focusing operations in strategic segments of the country.
The Company has been profitable since it began operations.

operations are forward-looking statements.  Words such as "expects,"

Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual report on Form 10-KSB.
