InterVU Inc. Reports Operating Results for Third Quarter and Nine Months.

SAN DIEGO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 1998--

Revenues Increase 60% from Previous Quarter

InterVU Inc. (NASDAQ: ITVU), a leader in the management and distribution of Internet video and other rich media, today reported operating results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998.

Third quarter net revenues amounted to $453,079, more than an eight-fold increase when compared with $52,609 in the corresponding period a year ago. The growth in revenues reflected further progress in live broadcasting, business to business communications and advertising services.

Notable in the quarter was InterVU's video delivery of a live open heart surgery operation performed by Dr. Denton Cooley in Dallas, Texas. Also, InterVU delivered over 700,000 total video streams of President Clinton's grand jury testimony to the CNN Interactive Web site. This event was believed to be the largest Internet video delivery from a single site.

InterVU's distributed network is specifically designed to handle high volumes of simultaneous end-user requests to meet the demand of large event audiences, commented Harry Gruber, Chairman and CEO of InterVU. We were pleased to showcase our capabilities for a premier client like CNN Interactive.

Total operating expense for the third quarter ended September 30, 1998 was $4.5 million, which included a charge of $250,000 associated with the Company's strategic alliance with NBC, compared with operating expense of $1.3 million in the same period for the prior year. The increase in operating expense was due primarily to increased costs for software development, sales and marketing and expanding InterVU's network and services.

Net loss for the 1998 third quarter excluding the NBC charge was $3.4 million. Including the NBC charge, the net loss was $3.6 million, compared with the net loss in the third quarter of 1997 of $1.2 million.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, revenues totaled $849,428, compared with $84,122 in the corresponding period in the prior year, a ten-fold increase. Excluding a charge of $4.6 million associated with the strategic alliance with NBC, the net loss for the period amounted to $7.8 million, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million in the same nine month period in the prior year. The net loss in the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, including the NBC charge, totaled $12.4 million.
