Another fund manager loses his job tz Company Press Release Mutual Fund Representative Supports Tri-Vision's V-Chip Technology TORONTO, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 29, 1999--Tri-Vision International Ltd./Ltee (TSE:TVL - news) is pleased to advise that Ken McCord, a financial markets commentator, stated that he believes that ''Tri-Vision could be one of Canada's technology darlings'' with its ''v-chip of choice.'' The comments were made as part of a story about Tri-Vision on Garth Turner's Investment TV program that aired on Saturday across Canada and can be viewed on the Internet at fundlibrary.com. According to Tri-Vision President and CEO, Najmul Siddiqui, ''These supportive comments by a representative of a well-respected North American Mutual Fund Company are a welcome sign that institutional investors like what they see about Tri-Vision. Increased media exposure on Tri-Vision and the v-chip will only help the ongoing licensing discussions with TV manufacturers in North America, Japan, Asia and Europe.'' ''Comments by the media that Tri-Vision has the 'v-chip of choice' adds further credibility to Tri-Vision's v-chip technology as it becomes the standard for flexible v-chip technology,'' said Tri-Vision Vice President of Marketing & Business Development Todd Grunberg. ''Our interviews this past week, with CBC Newsworld's Business News and Garth Turner's Investment TV, are supportive to enhanced awareness by consumers, potential licensees, cable operators and individual and institutional investors.'' While Mr. McCord serves as First Vice President of Marketing with AIM Funds, the opinions expressed about Tri-Vision were solely his own. The V-gis(tm) v-chip technology provides a means of controlling the quality and content of television programming entering the home by blocking or selecting television programs based on content. This means that television shows can be selected based on prescribed ratings as well as varying levels of violence, sex, language and dialogue. Uniquely, Tri-Vision's V-gis(tm) v-chip technology is the only v-chip technology available to TV manufacturers that is able to automatically reconfigure in the field and has received an extremely high approval rating from parents who found the technology helpful and easy to use. Tri-Vision is a global leader in the development and marketing of v-chip technology. The Company's efforts have been praised by world leaders; Tri-Vision executives have been guests at the White House and two separate G7 Summit conferences in Brussels, Belgium, where Tim Collings, inventor of the V-gis(tm) v-chip technology and Tri-Vision Director, spoke as an expert on the technology and its potential uses.
