"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This release may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including those regarding extension of E-Stamp's reach into the SOHO market and other benefits to E-Stamp of its agreement with Intuit, timing of release of Intuit's next version of its QuickBooks software, and integration with Intuit's QuickBooks software. Important factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, include E-Stamp's ability to successfully and timely integrate its software with Intuit's next version of its QuickBooks software, E-Stamp's ability to maintain its relationship with Intuit, the competitive nature of the Internet postage market and acceptance by QuickBooks customers of E-Stamp's Internet postage service. Additional factors that may affect our results are detailed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, made from time to time by E-Stamp, including its prospectus related to its initial public offering, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 1999.

This press release may include "forward-looking" statements about future financial results, future products and services or other events that have not yet occurred, including but not limited to statements regarding third-party agreements relating to Intuit's next version of its QuickBooks software and/or related websites. For example, statements in the future tense, and statements such as we "expect," we "anticipate" or we "believe" are forward-looking statements. Investors should be aware that actual results may differ materially from Intuit's expressed expectations because of risks and uncertainties about the future. Intuit will not necessarily update the information in this press release if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate. Risks and uncertainties that may affect future results and performance include following: The technology and services may still need to be completed and/or integrated with QuickBooks and/or related websites, and are subject to risks and uncertainties involved in the product development process, including technological difficulties and possible delays. The proposed services are subject to competition via other software, the world wide web or other traditional means. The anticipated benefits of the proposed services to Intuit may depend on the rate at which customers upgrade to the next version of QuickBooks, and Intuit cannot predict the upgrade rate. Customers may not adopt the services in sufficient numbers, and advertisers may not purchase advertising or sponsorships in sufficient levels, for Intuit to reach anticipated revenue levels. Additional information about factors that could affect future results and events is included in Intuit's fiscal 1999 Form10-K and subsequent reports filed by Intuit with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

MEDIA GUIDELINES FOR THE USE OF THE E-STAMP TRADEMARK
As you write about E-Stamp Corporation and its products and services, please help us protect our trademark rights. The term E-STAMP is a brand name for Internet postage products and services and is a registered trademark of E-Stamp Corporation.

E-Stamp Corporation has recently been involved in trademark litigation concerning the E-Stamp mark. The federal court ruled in favor of E-Stamp Corporation by issuing a preliminary injunction against the infringer.

The court also advised that E-Stamp must continue to protect its trademark rights. By providing appropriate information as to proper usage of the mark, we can help prevent the mark from becoming generic and maintain our valuable trademark rights. As you may know, the terms "aspirin," "cornflakes," and "escalator" were once valid trademarks and have now become generic.

Please do not use the terms "e-stamp," e-stamps," "estamp," or "estamps" to refer to the postal indicia that is printed by E-Stamp Corporation's software or its competitors as a generic name for printed postage or any other aspect of Internet postage.

E-Stamp Corporation's Internet postage products and services are authorized by the United States Postal Service and its information-based indicia program (IBIP). The program is designed to introduce the two dimensional barcode called an information-based indicia (IBI). You may refer to the printed postage as "indicium," "indicia," "postal indicia," "information-based indicia," "IBI," "printed postage," "printed barcode," "digital barcode" or "digital stamps."

When you write about E-Stamp Corporation's products and services, please use E-STAMP only to identify our products and services, e.g. E-Stamp Internet postage software, E-STAMP Internet postage services or, simply, E-STAMP Internet postage. Never use "e-stamp" or "estamp" as a verb: "to e-stamp" in place of "to print postage," or as a noun, "estamp," or "e-stamp," in place of the above acceptable terms such as "printed postage."

Please contact Edward Malysz on 650/918-8614 if you have any questions concerning the proper use of our name and trademark.
