Tri-Vision International Ltd./Ltee will launch its v-chip product line, V-gis(tm) (pronounced VEE'-jis), with a decoder set-top box on September 8th. The launch will initially focus on the Midwest and Southern United States and involve over 200 retail outlets. Three nationally recognized retailers will participate. They are Toys-R-Us, Sam's Discount Warehouse and H.H. Gregg. Simultaneous with the regional start up, Toys-R-Us will launch nationally with 700 retail outlets. Complete national distribution is anticipated by the fourth quarter. The V-gis(tm) decoder provides parents the ability to monitor what television programming children watch based on an encoded program rating. Broadcasters and cable companies have started the process of rating television programs and encoding signals. The signals will enable parents at first through decoders, and then via v-chip enhanced televisions, to determine which programming is available to their children.

Tri-Vision Electronics Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tri-Vision International Ltd./Ltee, holds the exclusive global rights to the proprietary v-chip technology developed by award-winning Canadian inventor, Tim Collings.
