 NewMedia SPARK announces a further investment in ADVFN.com


NewMedia SPARK plc ('SPARK') announces that it has agreed to
exercise  its right to subscribe for a further 5m shares  in
ADVFN.com  PLC  ('ADVFN') at the placing price  of  10p  per
share. SPARK had previously invested £500,000 in ADVFN at  a
price  of  5p  a  share,  and this  latest  investment  will
increase SPARK's holding in ADVFN to 15m shares, acquired at
a  total  cost  of  £1m. ADVFN is shortly  to  gain  an  AIM
listing,  with initial dealings in ADVFN shares expected  to
commence  on  20th  March  2000. SPARK's  shareholding  will
amount to 6% of the issued share capital.

Michael Whitaker, CEO of SPARK, commented:

'It is pleasing to see another of SPARK's investments coming
to  the  market. ADVFN's financial portal is growing rapidly
and   we  are  also  enthused  by  the  company's  2C   data
visualisation technology, which we believe has the potential
to be used on a number of other sites in addition to ADVFN's
own.  ADVFN  is  currently  in  discussions  with  GlobalNet
Financial.com  Inc, Quote.com and Hemmington  Scott  Limited
with a view to forming strategic relationships. '
