C-3D Digital Extends Reach in Japan; Signs With Software Too for Distribution of Strata Software.

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 30, 1999--

Chequemate International (AMEX:DDD), doing business as C-3D Digital Inc., the world's first 3-D television and Internet media company, Monday announced it has signed a distribution agreement with Software Too of Japan for sales of the Strata line of 3-D and digital video (DV) software tools.

The company expects revenues from the contract to exceed $1 million in 1999 and grow from there in the coming years. Software Too is the largest distributor of graphics and media-related software in Japan, and also carries product lines by Adobe, Macromedia and Quark.

According to C-3D's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer J. Michael Heil: "This contract puts yet another key element of our strategic plan into place. The Strata family of software has always enjoyed immense popularity among Japanese digital artists.

"Strata technology is also a key component of our Internet strategy and securing a place in Asia will be important as we move forward. We expect to have a Japanese language version of our 3D.COM Web portal in the future and this agreement helps to lay that groundwork."

The C-3D Television Network also recently signed an agreement with a Japanese distributor. In May of this year, 3D Television Co. of Japan agreed to broadcast the company's programming to premium television viewers through the Sky Perfect TV platform, which has 1.3 million subscribers and is the largest direct-to-home ("DTH") satellite company in Japan.

"Asia is a strategic market for us going forward," stated Doug Stanley, network general manager for C-3D Television. "Japan is a key starting point and we're very pleased to have two strong partners in this market. Both the Network and the Internet/software sides of our business are well positioned for the future."
