The next major version of MetaStream, MetaStream 3.0, is also the enabling technology for a new licensing model for MetaStream, where e-retailers and e-merchandisers will pay license fees to broadcast MetaStream models from their sites. MetaStream.com is currently working with licensees for deployment of MetaStream visualization solutions. The Company expects that MetaStream 3.0 will go into beta version this month, with full release expected during the first quarter of 2000. MetaStream has most recently been distinguished by receiving PC Magazine's prestigious 1999 "Technical Excellence" award and Popular Science magazine's "Best of What's New" 1999 award. Co-developed by MetaCreations and the Intel Corporation, MetaStream is currently distributed by Intel through its Web Outfitters service for Pentium III users, by Excite@Home within @Home 1.7, the new version of the @Home client software, and Microsoft Corporation distributes major components of the MetaStream viewer within Windows 98 SE. MetaStream is also available via download from www.metastream.com/plugins.html. In addition, Minolta and Kodak are in the process of manufacturing and marketing MetaStream.com's patented MetaFlash 3D cameras for easier, more efficient capture and creation of MetaStream content. The Company has engaged the services of Alliant Partners to help with the divestment of the Company's non-strategic assets. Alliant Partners has headquarters in Silicon Valley and provides financial advisory services for technology companies. The Company expects to generate additional cash through the sale of these non-strategic software assets.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
