Business Editors & Entertainment/High-Tech Writers

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 6, 2001

Internet technology and entertainment holding company Jarvis Entertainment Group Inc. (Pink Sheets:JRVE) today acquired a controlling interest in Co-Media Inc. (Pink Sheets:COMC). JRVE is petitioning Nasdaq for a symbol change to THEJ, as the newly formed company will be called The Jarvis Group.

"We worked diligently with the management and shareholders of Co-Media toward a mutually beneficial relationship for both companies, in the best interest of our respective shareholders," said John Jarvis, chairman and CEO of Jarvis Entertainment Group. "We wanted to pay a dividend to JRVE shareholders this year, and we believe this gives COMC shareholders the opportunity to be involved with a growing company, as part of our Manufacturing Division."

"Shareholders believing in the long-term vision of Jarvis Entertainment Group reap the benefits," added Mr. Jarvis, chairman of newly formed The Jarvis Group. "This is a prelude of good things to come in 2002; we're planning a press conference and shareholder meeting for early January. The press conference will announce the greatly anticipated Jarvis Network launch of the MyCommunity platform. At that time, JRVE financials will already be available as part of a Jarvis Investor profile package we're compiling, printing and making into a PDF for our Web site."

As part of the final arrangement, the JRVE board of directors agreed to a dividend for JRVE shareholders of record as of Dec. 31, 2001. The dividend is tentatively scheduled to be paid to JRVE shareholders on Jan. 5, 2002; the dividend ratio is 1:1.

"The dividend will be allocated and distributed after the Manufacturing, Gaming and Laser Tag Divisions spin-off through a reorganization plan, creating the survivorship of a targeted, OTC Small-Cap Nasdaq company. Once accepted by the board of directors, our management team will take complete charge of the surviving entity known as 'The Jarvis Group,'" said newly appointed CEO, Nick Jarvis. "I look forward to the opportunity this spin-off presents and working with our management team in a dual capacity filled with new responsibilities."

Additionally, Charles Warner will be president of The Jarvis Group, Alex Ellerman will serve as secretary and Matthew Mecham will be a director. More information regarding the upcoming press conference, shareholders meeting and financials will be made available soon through the JEG Web site (http://www.jarvisgroup.net).
