HTSF RELEASE - I am sure that some of you guys are looking for mind-blowing news on Thinkology - but because of the growth potential, our Legal Council has instructed us to "go conservative" on the news - however, as you can see below Thinkology is going well and we have a great stream of news of this nature. We WILL NOT RELEASE the names of school districts adopting Thinkology until we have confirmed POs and written approval for the public release, but I can tell you of one district alone who purchased 28 copies of Thinkoogy - that's public info, but we will post that news on PRNewswire soon.

Company Press Release
THOUSANDS OF EDUCATORS REVIEW THINKOLOGY, HEARTSOFT'S NEW GROUND-BREAKING CD-ROM CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS SOFTWARE!
TULSA, Oklahoma, June 2, 1998 - Heartsoft, Inc. (OTC BB: HTSF) announced today that since the release of its new critical thinking skills software, Thinkology(TM), to the education market in late April, thousands upon thousands of educators have reviewed this incredible new educational software series. Featuring a completely new cast of whimsical characters, Thinkology educates and entertains early-learning students as they learn to incorporate advanced thinking skills into their studies -- all while having a blast!
Through an aggressive national marketing campaign, educators and district software buyers in all 50 states and over a thousand school districts have had the opportunity to review and evaluate Thinkology, the first-ever product of its kind to introduce critical thinking skills to early-learning students (PreK-3rd grades).
"With the release of the 3 CD-ROM Thinkology series, Heartsoft offers educators and parents alike the means to equip children with the reasoning and thinking skills needed to conquer the information-age of the 21st century," said Benjamin Shell, Heartsoft C.E.O. "Thinkology brings critical thinking and higher-order thinking skills to the early-learning level -- an age level where children are just learning to analyze, deduce, and reason. In today's society, these skills are becoming even more important as our children are literally bombarded with information -- Thinkology offers a means to learn how to sift through what is and what is not pertinent."
Many teachers are sending out high praise for the series. "I've seen my students' reading abilities and comprehension (skills) double since we've been using Thinkology," claimed Sheila Coleman, classroom teacher at Jefferson Elementary in Trenton, NJ. "I've also noticed an increase in their confidence to learn."
Additionally, Heartsoft has installed dozens of "pilot schools" nationwide which have successfully tested Thinkology in the classroom environment. "I underestimated the number of ways Thinkology could be integrated into our curriculum," said Mona Edwards, one of the pilot teachers. "I just thought of (Thinkology) as great software which could help induce children to think, but now I understand its use for adjectives, spatial relations, prepositions, color identification, counting, true daily oral language, and task definition. The results range from 'kids think its cool and fun' to 'teachers recognizing dramatic changes in the way their students are handling new information.'"
The critical thinking concepts of Clarity, Accuracy and Logic comprise the 3 CD-ROM "Thinkology Trilogy," inviting PreK-3 children to enjoy learning as well as increasing their confidence to learn. Language arts, beginning reading, math, time telling, counting money and information processing, as well as dozens of other curriculum subjects are covered in the three volume series.
Heartsoft, Inc. develops, publishes, and distributes a diverse line of multi-media curriculum-based product for schools and parents nationwide. Headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Heartsoft is acknowledged among educators as the price-vs-performance leader -- delivering such product classics as the Heartsoft Bestseller and its new release Thinkology with unsurpassed customer service and customer loyalty. The company's stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol " HTSF ". Heartsoft's web sites are located at "http://www.heartsoft.com " and "http://www.thinkology.com ".
