CALABASAS, Calif., Aug 8, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) --  Sound Source Interactive Inc.
(OTC:SSII) today announced that the company will participate in an exclusive
cross-promotion with Fran's Healthy Helpings frozen foods.
 
In August 2000, Fran's Healthy Helpings will offer two free Berenstain Bears(R)
CD-ROMs from Sound Source's popular "Life's Little Lessons(TM)" series when two
proofs of purchase from Fran's Healthy Helpings products are provided. Supported
by national print advertising, the promotion is targeted to parents of children
2-8.
 
"Like all of our interactive products, Fran's Healthy Helpings meals provide fun
for children and peace of mind for parents, so this cross-promotion was a
natural," said Vincent Bitetti, chairman and interim chief executive officer of
Sound Source Interactive.
 
In addition to the four "Life's Little Lessons(TM)" with the Berenstain Bears(R)
CD-ROM titles that Sound Source has produced, the company is gearing up for its
entrance into the handheld video game market with "Extreme Sports with the
Berenstain Bears(R)" for the GameBoy(R) Color.
 
Bitetti continued, "`Extreme Sports with the Berenstain Bears(R)' falls into
Sound Source's line of entertainment products that provide children with the
ability to have fun without the stereotypical violence."
 
Amy Rosen, vice president of marketing for Fran's Healthy Helpings commented,
"It is very satisfying to know that there are other companies out there that
have a genuine interest in children and their growth." Rosen continued, "It is a
thrill to partner up with a fellow kid-centric company to create such an
attractive offer for our customers."
