(OTC Bulletin Board: CDDD) (the "Company") announced today that it anticipates closing its previously announced acquisition of Constellation 3D Holdings, Ltd. by September 30, 1999. On October 4, 1999, after completion of the acquisition and over five years of research and development, C3D's newly acquired Israeli subsidiary intends to unveil its revolutionary Fluorescent Multi-layer Disk (FMD) and Card (FMC) optical data storage technologies at a press conference in The Dan Hotel, Tel Aviv, Israel, and later at its laboratories in Rehovoth, Israel. The Company intends to conduct a second demonstration at its Silicon Valley, California office at a future date to be announced. The demonstrations will showcase fully-functional prototypes implementing the Company's FMD-ROM disk, FMC ClearCard-ROM and ClearCard-WORM technologies. The Company will immediately seek to license its technology to certain strategic joint venture partners and expects to commence production of the first commercial devices within twelve months. "The technological potential with respect to large data storage capacity, low cost per Gigabyte and fast data access and read/write speeds of these devices -- especially with respect to the ClearCard -- is enormous. This technology will spawn a whole new breed of data storage-intensive information appliances capable of replicating today's PC functionality on a palm-sized PDA or mobile phone" stated Dr. Eugene Levich, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of the newly acquired companies. Dr. Levich added, "The advent of high speed Internet downloading capability and the arrival of consumer devices such as HDTV (requiring up to 7.5 GB per hour recorded), personal VCRs and the e-Book underline the exponential increase in demand for media with multi-Gigabyte storage capacity. Likewise, on the corporate side, increasing use of data storage-intensive activities, such as analysis of customer e-commerce transaction data, make the availability of such media essential. Even the first generation of these devices will offer data density largely in excess of anything currently available." The Company plans to commence pilot production with: * a 10-layer FMD-ROM disk in the standard 120mm (CD & DVD) disk format having up to 140GB capacity; * a 20-layer FMC ClearCard-ROM in the form factor of a credit card having up to 10GB capacity; and * a 10-layer FMC ClearCard-WORM (Write Once Read Many) in the form factor of a credit card having up to 1GB capacity. The planned second and third generation cards and disks will have capacities up to and exceeding 1 Terabyte (1,000 Gigabytes). RAM versions of disk and card are also planned.
