(NASDAQ:NETN) is pleased to announce that, its 51% owned subsidiary Interlynx Multimedia Inc., has completed a leading edge web-based training application for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), one of the largest banks in North America with $283 billion in assets as of January 31, 1998. The project was completed on time and is now being used to train staff involved with the bank's Management, Accounting, and Reporting (MAR) project. The MAR project uses an On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP) application provided by Cognos Inc. of Ottawa, Canada and will be used by approximately 1000 employees of the bank's Finance division. To date, a significant portion of this group has successfully completed the training provided on the CIBC Intranet. ''The final product delivered by the Interlynx team exceeded the expectations of both our Project Sponsors and Users,'' commented Andrew Lonsbrough, Manager, Learning & Business Support, at the CIBC, ''and has set a standard at the CIBC which many other projects and departments are now keen to match.'' The web-based training application developed by Interlynx uses Active Server Pages (ASP) technology from Microsoft, Java, and an ODBC database.

''This is consistent with Interlynx's mission which is to develop the most innovative web-based interactive software in the areas of training, knowledge management, and e-business.''
