END SMALL CAP INVESTOR ARTICLE ---------------------------------------------------------- CITY, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Chequemate International, d.b.a. C-3D Digital, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CQMT) announced today that it has entered into an agreement in principle to acquire the technology and principal assets of Strata Corp., a premier name in 3D computer graphics. This will broaden C-3D Digital's line of patented 3D technology for broadcast video and the Internet. The Strata tool line has been used for such well-known projects as MYST(TM); television shows like the '98 MTV Movie Awards, Hercules and Xena; the NBC dancing peacocks; the Warner Brothers and Blockbuster web sites; the films Contact, 5th Element and Batman Forever -- and many others. These tools provide C-3D Digital with some of the most advanced 3D technology available and further establishes C-3D Digital's leadership position in 3D media and technology.
"By adding the Strata product line, C-3D Digital will gain not only one of the best 3D technology and R&D teams in the industry, but will also gain access to tens of thousands of creative professional production artists world-wide" said Mr. Mike Heil, C-3D Digital CEO. "This gives us a critical leadership advantage in providing true 3D technologies and content for the web and digital TV."
C-3D Digital has become a leader in true stereoscopic media for the web and television.

The Strata product line is also expected to add substantial revenue to C-3D Digital within the first quarter following the acquisition. "It creates a terrific expansion of our business model," according to Blaine Harris, C-3D Digital founder and Chairman. "The strategic value alone is substantial, but we think the ability to sell technology and tools to the 3D content production market represents a great revenue opportunity -- it's really selling picks and shovels to 3D digital miners."
Heading up the Strata division will be Ken Bringhurst, co- founder of Strata Inc. "This is one of those rare opportunities to ride the crest of an exploding industry and technology," says Mr. Bringhurst. "We've been there before when we began Strata 10 years ago and virtually created the boom in 3D graphics for the desktop market. Today, as DV, web and broadcast technologies converge, we're joining C-3D in building an exciting future in stereoscopic 3D. C-3D is a superbly led company with advanced technology, market savvy, and a far-reaching vision. Our entire team is excited to help lead the way in this cutting-edge new media."
