The Company is informed that the applicable Purchase Price VAT taxes will be reimbursable to Stream upon the completion of the proposed Purchase Agreements.

The Purchase Agreements, which are subject to formal documentation, also provide that, within seven days of their execution (that being on February 24th), Stream is be required to advance a refundable deposit of PZN 725,000 (approximately U.S. $175,000) in connection with the Purchase which will be held "in trust" and which will only become non-refundable should the proposed Purchase complete in accordance with its contemplated terms. In this regard the Company is informed that it is presently contemplated that the proposed Purchase will be formalized and must close on or about April 3, 2000.

In conjunction with Stream's proposed Purchase of Elektromontaz, and subject to prior Exchange approval, the Company presently intends to advance, by way of loan or loans to Stream (collectively, the "Loan"), the aggregate principal sum of up to U.S. $1,050,000, together with interest accruing on the principal sum at the rate of 10% per annum, compounded semi-annually and not in advance prior to maturity (collectively, the "Principal Sum"); and which Principal Sum is intended to be utilized, in part, for above-referenced and proposed Purchase Price and will be secured, contemporaneously with the advancement of any funds under any such Loan, by way of a senior fixed and floating charge on all of the shares and the assets of Stream.

The Company is informed that Elektromontaz's assets presently consist of an existing cable network, with its related equipment to provide cable television services, together with over 10,000 television cable subscribers. The Company is also informed that Elektromontaz's revenues for its most recently completed fiscal year, and generated from servicing its present subscribers, exceeded U.S. 180,000. Subsequent to its proposed Purchase the Company is also informed that Stream intends to upgrade Elektromontaz's existing system utilizing broadband technology and, thereafter, the Company is informed that it is anticipated that Elektromontaz's revenues may reach upwards of U.S. $500,000 per annum.

The Company is informed that it is presently intended that Stream will become a leading cable and Internet multi-media services operator and provider in selected urban concentrations of Poland. In this regard it is presently anticipated that Stream will provide the following services on its own Hybrid Fiber-Coax broadband network:

- cable television services: including regular terrestrial and satellite radio and television programs and Pay-Per-View;

- data-transmission services: including Internet access, Voice over Internet, Protocol (Internet telephony); Home Banking, Home Shopping and Virtual Servers; and

- telephony services: i.e., voice transmission.

Mr. Lis, President and CEO of the Company, comments that "Cable and related Internet multi-media services constitute an exciting, rapidly growing global market with enormous potential in Poland. This proposed acquisition will allow Stream to efficiently enter the broadband market in Poland with the objective for further growth."

The Company is informed that Stream's management is presently negotiating with further cable television providers in Southern Poland with a view to entertaining possible future acquisitions and other methods of strengthening Stream's existing subscriber base and position in that market. The Company will continue to inform its shareholders and the public of further developments in that regard, together with the ongoing operations of Stream and its potential partners, as soon as such details become available.

UPDATE ON RENDERING PROJECT IN POLAND

Mr. Lis reports from Poland that the Company's subsidiary, International Eco-Waste Systems S.A. ("IEWS"), has recently submitted for approval to the local regulatory authorities a new set of project design plans incorporating the European Union's construction standards for the construction of IEWS's initial rendering plant project in Zabokliki. In this regard the Company confirms that it is presently expected that a final civil permit will be issued within the next few days at which time IEWS expects to enter into a formal purchase agreement with K.E. Andersen Montage A/S in order to finalize the construction plans for the plant.

The Company's initial reduction plant in Zabokliki, with the proposed capacity to utilize 240 tonnes of meat waste daily, is expected, when completed, to be the largest and most modern facility of its type in Poland. The Company continues to be informed that the demand for this type of operation is increasing as most of the present meat processing plants in Poland do not utilize their waste in accordance with newly introduced environmental standards. As reported recently by one of the national daily newspapers in Poland, Rzeczpospolita (January 17, 2000), "...About 70% of meat industry in Poland requires modernization to comply with European Union ("EU") standards... Polish regulations will be adapted to the EU standards this year... One of the basic conditions to obtain a license to operate is to have an agreement with an EU approved, reduction plant. There is no such plant in Poland..., says Wieslaw Rozanski, President of the Butchers and Sausage Makers Guild of Poland."

The Company is informed that, due to the increasing demand for rendering services, IEWS has recently generated interest from the meat processing industry encouraging the Company to pursue the development of further plants in other parts of Poland. In this regard the Company confirms that IEWS has, and continues to be, approached by certain third party financial institutions interested in either the joint venturing or financing of possible and subsequent rendering plants in Poland. The Company confirms that it continues to consider and pursue the development of further rendering plants in Poland and that Company management is continuing to proceed with very preliminary discussions regarding the possibility of financing additional reduction plants in Poland. The Company will continue to inform its shareholders and the public of further developments in that regard as they come available.
