Century Industries Announces Acquisition of Worldwide Network, Inc., a Growing National Health Products Distribution Company, and Change of Control of Century to Worldwide's Shareholders.

Business Editors

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 19, 2000

Century Industries, Inc. (OTC:BB CNTI) announced today that its shareholders voted pursuant to D.C. Code section 29-375, to vend its assets to Globespan Technologies PLC (Republic of Ireland) for 1,800,000 shares of Globespan to be distributed at 1p Irish to its public shareholders who determine to accept the proposal, and simultaneously, the Century shareholders voted to acquire the assets of Worldwide Network as a going concern.

The shareholders further voted in favor of Century replacing its Class A and Class B shares with one unitary class of shares with equal one for one voting rights. The public shareholders will now own what were formerly Class A shares.

Interactive Gaming & Communications Corp. (NASDAQ OTC:BB "SBET"), which acquired the control block of Century on June 23, 1999, voted for these resolutions, thus fulfilling their requirement to provide the Century public shareholders with "an equal to or better deal" than the Century control shareholders originally received for their shares. IGC now becomes a non affiliated shareholder in Century by virtue of these events.

IGC's control shareholders, which included the former Century control shareholders, in a separate transaction, transferred the 51% IGC control block to Globespan Technologies Group PLC, in the Republic of Ireland. Globespan will now consolidate the ownership of IGC and Century.

Ireland has been referred to in the MSNBC financial news series as the "Celtic Tiger", as its economy is growing at a 20% annual rate due to the explosive growth of its high technology sector.

IGC and Century decided that this solution would potentially maximize the Century shareholders' investments in the Company, with Century's go forward business model being the Worldwide national distribution of healthcare products, and Globespan's emphasis on the development of internet technologies.

The Century shareholders retained their Century shares and are entitled to receive, at 1p Irish per share, the Globespan shares.

Century has filed the requisite 8-K disclosures with the SEC's EDGAR, and will announce the Worldwide Network Business Model descriptions in a subsequent release.

Forward-looking statements in this release are made pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, continued acceptance of the Company's products, increased levels of competition for the Company, new products and technological changes, the Company's dependence upon third party suppliers, intellectual property rights, and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission.
