Business/Medical Editors

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 15, 2000

John F. Andrews, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of e-MedSoft.com (AMEX:MED) announced today that the Company has launched its Australian and Asian subsidiary, B2B.Net Technology, for the continued roll out of the Company's technologies and products throughout Australia and Asia. Andrews further announced that the B2B.Net subsidiary has just completed a vastly oversubscribed placement of equity capital to fund its operations going forward. The issue was underwritten by Melbourne equities house D & D Tolhurst, and was sponsored by leading Australian Internet broker Sanford Securities (www.sanford.com.au).

Andrews commented: "Since January 1999, e-MedSoft.com has always been the international leader in this new health care Internet industry in that our approach has consistently been that the world is shrinking and geographical and cultural boundaries have either come down or are going to come down. With the advent of international telemedicine and cross cultural medical research efforts, we have viewed it as a necessity to cultivate efficient and cost effective methods for health care professionals to interact across geographies, cultures and indeed time zones. This focus is significant not only to foster appropriate communication among these constituents, but also in view of the financial reality which is that the international market offers many of the same economic opportunities as are apparent in the domestic market. To date, we believe our financial performance internationally has borne out this model many times over."

The launch coincides with B2B.Net having received regulatory approval in Australia for listing of its securities on the Australian Stock Exchange, with trading expected to occur shortly. B2B.Net's ASX stock symbol will be BTB.

Chris de Beyer, formerly Sun Microsystems' Managing Director for the Southern Africa Region, will manage the publicly traded subsidiary.

The subsidiary has added several prominent members of its Board of Directors, including Dr. Neale Fong and Ian Fletcher:

Fong is currently the Chief Executive Officer of St. John of God Health Care Subiaco, the largest single campus private hospital in Australia. Currently, Fong manages a staff of 1,500 employees with more than 800 accredited physicians operating out of the campus. Previously, Fong was the Chief General Manager of Operations for the Heath Department of Western Australia, a division with an annual budget of $1.7 billion.

Fletcher has spent almost 20 years in senior policy roles with the Australian Government and has well established experience and acumen that is believed to be salutary and important to B2B.Net's development.
