SYME Adds talkautos.com to Complement medicaltalk.com

    INDIANAPOLIS--Aug. 20, 1999--Dale W. Conrad, president and CEO of Synergy Media Inc. (OTC:SYME) announced today that SYME has purchased the domain names talkautos.com and supercharged.com and partnered with a Washington, D.C. area licensed car dealer to offer cars for sale on the Internet.
    In making the announcement, Conrad stated, "We are moving quickly with our Internet initiatives to establish an e-commerce presence within a number of vertical business sectors. Our new automobile initiative expands our e-commerce presence, which began with medicaltalk.com. Our goal is to become a major business-to-consumer and business-to-business participant in automobile distribution. We are currently utilizing Ebay for our automobile auctions (Ebay link at talkautos.com), but are in the process of securing sublicensing rights for a proprietary technology to create an automobile exchange at talkautos.com.
    SYME currently owns 51 percent of Government Payment Service Inc. (GPS). GPS processes payments made to approximately 180 government agencies throughout the U.S. Individuals may pay by credit card while speaking to a live operator or via the Internet. The GPS processing business is expected to serve as a platform for expanding into a broader array of e-commerce. Previously, SYME announced the acquisition of the Internet domain names medicaltalk.com and medicalhouse.com. The company expects to hire a staff and work with physicians and other medical authorities to develop the site.
