     365 Corporation plc acquires British Gardening On-line, expanding its
                              Lifestyle portfolio

365 Corporation plc ('365') the provider of content, community and
communications services across multiple digital platforms announces that it
has completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Oxalis
Limited ('Oxalis').

Oxalis, which was founded in 1996, is a provider of premium quality digital
content and commerce relating to gardening and is the owner of the British
Gardening On-line website, www.oxalis.co.uk

The total consideration for Oxalis is £225,000 satisfied as to £180,000, by
the issue of 69,204 shares of 365 and as to £45,000 in cash together with a
further payment of up to £225,000 in cash dependent on turnover of Oxalis in
the 12 months following acquisition.

Following the acquisition of Oxalis, the British Gardening On-line site will
be rebranded Gardening365 and become part of the extensive 365 network.  The
current director and sole shareholder of Oxalis, Julian Symondson, will remain
with the company to integrate and develop Gardening365.

Gardening is one of the most popular, and enduring, of hobbies and interests
in the UK, with recent expansion of media coverage broadening its appeal to a
younger audience.  The total gardening market in the UK is valued at £2.8
billion and is forecast to grow 32% over the next 5 years1.  It is
characterised by stability and predictability with online retailing and e-
commerce forecast to grow rapidly.

Commenting on the acquisition, Dan Thompson Chief Executive Officer of 365
said:

'Gardening is one of the great British passions, and we intend to grow
Gardening365 into one of the cornerstone brands of our lifestyle division.
It's great to have Julian on board, to help us maximise the community and
revenue potential of this huge and untapped online market.'

Julian Symondson of Oxalis said:

'I am delighted to be joining 365 to develop truly compelling gardening
content. In addition to creating the most entertaining, informative gardening
web site in Europe, e-commerce will be a key component of the project. I
expect to be able to offer 365's community of customers an unbeatable range of
products.

Furthermore I am looking forward to taking Gardening365 services onto new
platforms such as WAP and even developing entirely new services using 365's
expertise in areas such as premium rate call servicing.'
