"I am proud to have developed a slate of candidates with the business experience
of Carlton, Jerry, Stephen and Bernie, and I am pleased to offer the opportunity
for the shareholders to consider them as directors of New Frontier. These
individuals will add a level of experience and objectivity that New Frontier

                                       2


has not previously enjoyed," stated Edward Bonn. "Over the next few weeks I plan
to announce the two remaining director nominee positions" continued Bonn.

"As I have previously announced, I am not seeking to be the CEO of New Frontier
and believe that the new directors drawn to this opportunity will do an
excellent job in recruiting a CEO and team that will enhance shareholder value,"
stated Bonn.

Mr. Bonn owns approximately 19% of the outstanding shares of New Frontier, which
were acquired in 1999 in connection with New Frontier's acquisition of its
Internet operations. Mr. Bonn is currently a director of New Frontier Media.
