    NEWS FLASH: Centiv has restructured itself as a multimedia holding
company, with three current, wholly owned subsidiaries -- Centiv
Services, Inc.; Beijing Multimedia Limited; and Target Publishing
Group, Inc. The company is in the process of forming Media
Distribution Services, Inc., and Media Production Services, Inc., into
which two acquisitions currently under negotiations will be merged. We
look for shares of CNTV to retest its 52-week high resistance levels
soon.

    As a result of its acquisition of Beijing Multimedia, CITIC
Cultural and Sports Industry Co. Ltd., an affiliate of China
International Trade and Investment Co. (CITIC), has become one of
Centiv's major shareholders. The CITIC Group has the distinction of
being one of the largest conglomerates in Asia, with total assets of
over $70 billion. CNTV's involvement with CITIC Cultural should give
it significant leverage in pursuing its aggressive acquisition
strategy.

Investment Highlights

--  CNTV has enjoyed a steady monthly increase in revenues
--  The Company is debt free and the cash flow is positive
--  Looks to be Bulletin Board listed soon and NASDAQ Small Cap listed
    possibly by the end of the year
--  The Company's recent acquisition of Beijing Multimedia, Ltd.,
    should give CNTV pretax revenue of $20 million per year

    Incorporated in Delaware, Centiv, Inc., is rapidly becoming an
international multimedia holding company, with its primary focus in
three industry segments: publishing and advertising, programming, and
film production. Additionally, through its historical marketing
services company, the Centiv Services, Inc., subsidiary continues to
provide Web-enabled, point-of-purchase (POP) merchandising solutions
for consumer brand companies, including several Fortune 500 consumer
package goods (CPG) manufacturers and major retailers.

    December's closing of the acquisition of Beijing Multimedia
Limited, the holder of a one-third interest in certain advertising
businesses operated by CITIC Cultural, and the restructuring of Centiv
into a holding company with all operations effective fiscal 2004, was
the joint step by Centiv's old and new management teams to build the
Company into one of the world's largest international mid-market
multimedia companies, and reflects the current movement by
organizations around the world to try to be one of the first with
their business line(s) into the newly opened and virgin Asian markets,
and certain European markets.

    Jeffrey S. Hall serves as President and a Director of Centiv and

Growth Opportunities

    Centiv is now in a position to become a recognized global
multimedia company within the next three years. There will be a
concerted effort made by management to increase exposure in film
production and made-for-TV programming. Acquisition targets include
revenue-producing entities and entities providing professional
services to affiliates worldwide. Centiv has a very attractive
business model, allowing the company to increase its product line
through further established niche acquisitions.
