In addition, he has been appointed Vice President of Finance & Administration for Tri-Vision International's wholly-owned subsidiary, Tri-Vision Electronics Inc.

"Tri-Vision is extremely pleased to have attracted such a seasoned financial expert to lead its shift in focus from primarily industrial products to products for the consumer marketplace.

The rollout will follow the anticipated announcement by U.S. broadcasters of the completion of program encoding expected by late June, 1998. "Being involved in the Telecommunications industry for many years and knowing Mr. Craig's extensive background, I am confident that his addition to the Tri-Vision management team will ensure that we are poised to handle the tremendous amount of financial transactions anticipated as a result of the forthcoming launch of V-gis(tm) v-chip products into homes throughout the United States," stated Todd Grunberg, Vice President, Marketing & Business Development.
