OINKE.COM JOINS FORCES WITH THE CORE NETWORK

Oinke's Internet Auction Market for Business and Commercial Real Estate Financing Added to the Variety of Services Offered by CORE

IRVINE, Calif., June 22, 2000-Oinke, a vertical online trading exchange that matches borrowers with lenders, announced today that it has joined forces with The CORE Network to offer commercial real estate financing online. CORE's affiliate commercial real estate broker members are in all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, Asia and Europe and employ several thousand people.

"Oinke is committed to establishing a seamless integration of the financing needed to support commercial real estate transactions," said Tom Markel, Oinke's Chairman and CEO. "Our alliance with CORE allows their property listings to be marketed with financing quotes from multiple lenders. Once a buyer is established, the financing phase will close with greater speed."

"We are excited about being able to close deals more quickly," said Scott Rickard. CORE's president. "Providing the buyers of our marketed properties with a multi-lender financing option has been of great interest to our member companies, and we believe Oinke's proprietary auction technology and extensive lender network is the best solution."

The CORE website www.corenetwork.org will contain a fully enabled co-branded version of the Oinke Auction Market. Members will be able to use the site to complete applications for all types of commercial lending, but it is expected that the primary use will be for the acquisition of commercial real estate. The individual broker or property buyer will enter the data and submit the loan to auction. Oinke's Financial Auction Technology matches the loan with the appropriate financial institutions. Interested lenders then competitively bid on the rate and terms, with the borrower selecting the winning bid.
