LICENSED TO KILL, INC CONSIDERS RELOCATING HEADQUARTERS  TO GREATER
RICHMOND

Seeks $30+ Million Incentive Package From the Commonwealth of Virginia

Richmond -- The world's newest multinational corporation, Licensed to
Kill, Inc, announced today that it is seeking a $30+ million incentive
package from the state of Virginia to relocate in the greater Richmond
Area.

"Ideally, we have our eyes on the capitol building itself, but are
willing to settle for the Governor's mansion," said CEO Rich Fromdeth,
"After all, Governor Warner has been quite hospitable to the tobacco
industry of late."

On March 4, Governor Warner and Philip Morris USA announced that the
company had finally been lured to Virginia, from its Park Avenue
headquarters in new York. According to a press release issued by the
Office of the Governor, Philip Morris USA qualifies for a $25 million
performance-based grant from the Virginia Investment Partnership (VIP)
program. In return, Philip Morris USA will create 450 jobs in the
Richmond area, with an annual payroll of $83 million.

"The Governor does not seem to have taken into account how many people
the tobacco industry kills annually in Virginia with its products, nor
how much money residents of Virginia spend on tobacco-related medical
expenses each year," said Licensed to Kill, Inc Director Gray Vastone,
"That bodes well for our own relocation initiative."

In order to boost its chances for a favorable relocation incentive
package, Licensed to Kill, Inc plans to invest $1 million into local
Richmond charities.

"It's a tried and true way of showing that, despite our company's intent
to kill 4.9 million people annually, we're really a good corporate
citizen," said Corrie Prutspin, Senior VP of Corporate Communications
for Licensed to Kill, "Every dollar we donate buys us the freedom to
continue business as usual."

On March 18, 2003, Associated Press headlines reported "Virginia is for
Philip Morris; Richmond giddy to be new home of cigarette maker." If all
goes well for Licensed to Kill, Inc, the headlines will soon read
"Virginia is for Licensed to Kill."
