TORONTO, October 22, 1998, Erik Schannen, President of LaserMedia Communications
Corp. announces that in order for LaserMedia to meet its financial goals and
objectives and migrate from a purely research and development company to a
successful sales and marketing company, he will resign as both an officer and
director.  He is pleased to announce that Richard Hue will now become both a
director as well as Chairman and CEO of LaserMedia Communications Corp.  Richard
Hue brings with him over 17 years of business experience and specializes in
bringing companies such as LaserMedia with proven products to market.

"The possibilities for growth (by LaserMedia) are tremendous" states Richard
Hue, "Our business is focused on two of the largest growth industries of this
decade, health and fitness and the Internet/E-Commerce"!

Richard Hue is confident that he'll be able to lead LaserMedia's technology into
the health and fitness markets with its already tried and proven line of
interactive CD-ROMs and will soon be announcing a team of experts to carry
forward LaserMedia's "e-commerce" initiative to take advantage of the continued
explosive growth of the Internet as well as health and fitness.

Other senior management changes include, Mr. Brian Gibson who has resigned as
COO/CFO to pursue other interests but will act as a consultant to the Company.
This is all part of LaserMedia's cost cutting efforts in order to offset the
investment needed to transform it from an R&D company into more of a sales and
marketing company.

In addition, the Company has brought in a number of senior management and/or
advisors to assist the Company in executing it's plan.  Joining LaserMedia will
