Devine Entertainment -- DVN -- Reports Significant Increases in Revenues and Net Income for the First Nine Months of 1999.

TORONTO, Ontario--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Nov. 17, 1999--

Devine Entertainment Corporation (TSE:DVN) today reported significant increases in revenues and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Revenues for the period increased by over 80% to CDN$1,511,009 as compared to CDN$835,058 recorded for the same period in 1998. Pre-tax income for the first nine months of 1999 amounted to CDN$318,599, a turnaround of $462,447 from the loss of $143,848 reported in the same period last year. Net income increased to $178,379 or CDN$0.02 per share, as compared to a net loss of CDN$80,848, or CDN$(0.01) per share, for the first nine months of 1998, a turnaround of $259,227.

Devine's significant revenue sources stem primarily from the delivery of its films. Two films were delivered to HBO during the nine month period. The Company will deliver two more films in the fourth quarter of 1999. The Company expects these deliveries to have a very positive impact on revenues for the fourth quarter and for fiscal 1999.

Other significant income in the period ended September 30, 1999 resulted from sales of the Company's videos through two new distributors, Feature Films For Families and Nest Entertainment. The Company also reported that two new broadcasters have recently started airing the Company's films in Primetime on Sunday evenings. The Odyssey Channel (a Hallmark and Henson Company) is airing The Composers' Specials and The Inventors' Specials in the U.S. YTV, Canada's No. 1 youth broadcaster, is airing The Composers' Specials and will air The Artists' Specials beginning in January 2000. A commercial tag with a toll-free order number and the Company's video store website address are shown at the end of these broadcasts.

"After successfully completing production on The Artists' Specials, which we've worked on for one year, we have focussed on sales and distribution of our products. The positive results of these efforts are now beginning to show," said David Devine, President and CEO. "We will continue to build our sales and marketing, thereby increasing the pace of growth which should be reflected in revenues and profits for fiscal 1999 and 2000."

The Company is expanding its investor relations program with plans to increase exposure in the diverse North American investment communities through various measures, including meetings with key institutional shareholders, stockbrokers and analysts.

Devine Entertainment Corporation is an Emmy-award winning developer and producer of high quality children's and family films designed for both the worldwide television and cable markets and the international home video markets. The Company launched its new interactive educational history website, www.devinetime.com, on September 30, 1999. The site was selected as a YAHOO! Canada "Pick of the Week" on October 11, 1999 and it won first prize in the Entertainment category at the Atlantic Digital Media Festival.

The Company's management has reviewed the possible risk associated with computers and the Year 2000. The Company has determined that all of its equipment including hardware and software is prepared for the Year 2000 date change. The Company expects that any date-sensitive problem that might arise can be resolved at a minimum cost that would be absorbed within normal operating budgets and without any interruption of the Company's business.
