SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 26, 2000--NetLojix Communications
Inc. (Nasdaq: NETX), a leading provider of network and hosting infrastructure,
technical management and support to the mid-size business market, today
announced that it has completed its acquisition of privately held, Chicago-based
CW Electronic Enterprises Inc. (d.b.a. CWE2 Network Systems Inc.) (CWE2).

CWE2 is a systems integration, technical support and Web development company for
mid-size businesses in the Midwest. CWE2 has 200 active customers, including
ABN-AMRO Bank N.A. Under the terms of the agreement, NetLojix acquired all the
outstanding common stock of CWE2 in exchange for 500,000 shares of NetLojix
common stock and $150,000 in cash.

"NetLojix's plan calls for the company to grow through a combination of
strategic acquisitions and organic growth. Among other areas, we have identified
the Midwest for expansion due to the increasing demand for hosting, remote
server management and integrated bandwidth solutions among the rapidly growing
mid-size business market. CWE2's physical presence and customer base, combined
with our existing products and solutions, create significant growth
opportunities for NetLojix's Midwest target market," said Anthony E. Papa,
chairman and CEO of NetLojix.

NetLojix plans to fully integrate CWE2's technical team, sales and back office
operations into its Midwest region within 90 days. NetLojix had expected to
