NEW BUSINESS CREDIT REFERENCE SERVICE FROM ABI, INC.
Features Comprehensive Information At An Affordable Price

OMAHA, NE -- For small to medium-sized businesses that need access to high
quality credit information at an economical price, American Business
Information, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABII) announces its new Business Credit
Reference Service. This innovative new service is available for an Annual
Lease price of just $1,295 and was created specifically to assist
businesses in making low-dollar (e.g., a few hundred dollars) of trade
credit decisions.

American Business Information has been meeting the needs of
business-to-business marketers with its superior business database for
more than 22 years. Today, its highly respected database contains
pertinent information about more than 10 million businesses throughout the
country. American Business Information has now added even more value to
its already popular database by including unique Credit Rating Codes to
assist business owners in making credit decisions.

To create these one-of-a-kind Credit Rating Codes, American Business
Information used the demographic information in its own database, such as
years in business, number of employees, industry stability by SIC Code, as
well as other information. Sophisticated computer programs were then
created to develop predictive statistical models based on multivariate
regression analysis to determine credit worthiness of businesses. The
Credit Rating Codes are indicators of probable credit worthiness, yet are
not based on payment history; rather, they indicate the likely ability to
pay. The codes should only be used for low-risk credit transactions, and
as with any credit-rating information, should not be the sole criteria to
restrict, deny, or grant credit.

Amerian Business Information's aggregate database information is compiled
from 5,000 telephone directories, 10,000 annual reports, 10-K forms,
Chamber of Commerce Directories, SEC Records, major newspapers, and many
other sources. Each and every year, the company places over 14 million
telephone calls to verify the accuracy of the database, validating
addresses and enhancing each record with Owner or Manager's Name, Name of
Employees, Suite Number and other hard to find data.

The following summarizes the advantages of the Business Information Credit
Reference Service versus the leading supplier of business-to-business
credit information:
