Top Driver Announces 493% Revenue Increase in First Quarter

8 June 2000

Aggressive Acquisition Strategy Fuels Explosive Growth and Provides Platform For Further Expansion
          
    ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. - Top Driver, Inc., one of the nation's largest and fastest growing
driver training companies, announced today that revenues for the first quarter
of 2000 increased 493% to $2,836,000 as compared to the same period in 1999.
The Company reported that it completed twelve acquisitions over the last seven
months and has seen its locations grow, in number, from three to over 220.

    "Our first quarter results not only validate our strategy to increase the
Company's market share nationwide in order to become the largest, most
comprehensive driver training company in the country, but also demonstrate
management's ability to successfully integrate the acquired businesses into
the Top Driver format," explained Sebastian Giordano, President of Top Driver.

    As a result of Top Driver's acquisition efforts, the Company now offers
driver training in such areas as novice training, defensive driving, insurance
premium reduction courses, traffic violator programs and corporate fleet
training.  Top Driver is the first company to aggregate multiple driver
training programs, under one umbrella brand on a national scale, with the
intention of providing additional driving related services and information to
its customer base.

    "Due to Top Driver's ability to deliver products and services through
different distribution channels, including its physical locations, videos, and
its soon to be launched enhanced web site, Top Driver believes it can develop
intense customer loyalty to its brand as each of the 180 million drivers in
the United States have multiple driver training and service needs," Mr.
Giordano continued.  "We expect to raise the quality of driver training in
this country, as well as the convenience of conducting driving related
transactions to such an extent that our trainees will become lifetime
customers."

    Top Driver's current equity investors include, amongst others, Chase
Capital Partners, GE Capital and Simon Brand Ventures.  The Company is
currently in the process of completing a round of financing to be utilized for
growth and expansion, as management continues to identify opportunities that
will allow the Company to enhance its product lines and consequently, broaden
its customer base.

    With over 220 driver training facilities, Top Driver is the only driver
training company to offer, in addition to its various driver training courses,
an array of driving related products, services and information.  Top Driver is
a privately held company with headquarters located in Englewood Cliffs, New
Jersey.
