          Entertainment and WSi will create a joint venture company that will
          commercialize Devine's award-winning website . Devine Entertainment
          will continue to supply creative content for the site, while WSi will
          invest Cdn$1 million dollars, assume its management and execute
          strategies to drive traffic and increase sales to the site. Devine and
          WSi will enter into an equal partnership and it is the intent of the
          agreement that both parties eventually spin off www.devinetime.com
          into a separate public entity.

          The Devinetime site was developed over the past year at a cost of
          Cdn$1 million, with the support of the Bell and Stentor New Media
          Initiatives and Devine Entertainment. The site presently showcases and
          markets the history of invention from the renaissance to present day,
          drawing from Devine's films which have garnered 11 Emmy nominations in
          the past year alone. "It is a remarkable interactive journey through
          time," said David Devine, President & CEO of Devine Entertainment.
          "Our goal is to educate the imaginations of young people while
          entertaining them in a way that makes science fun."

          Theo Sanidas, President of WSi, said "The arrangement with Devine is a
          perfect example of WSi's model of expanding its network of Internet
          businesses by partnering with companies of quality and integrity to
          build equity and revenue for WSi."

          WSi will assign a team to significantly increase content with creative
          guidance from Devine Entertainment and will utilize broadband for
          streaming capabilities. Devine will further develop the site by adding
          content from its award-winning library of films, extending the
          interactive journey with biographies of artists and composers. "Our
          mission is to deliver high-quality interactive entertainment and
          educational content that will add revenue for Devine Entertainment and
          complement our established, award-winning brand positioning," added
          David Devine. The site's e-commerce facilities will offer visitors
          access to high-quality family and children's entertainment featuring
          Devine's proprietary video library, as well as other products and
          services families can trust.

          The transaction is subject to a due diligence process and board
          approvals by both parties. Devine Entertainment Corporation is one of
          the world's finest producers of high-quality children's and family
          films for worldwide television and cable, international home video and
          internet applications. Devine's films have received 12 Emmy
          Nominations and 5 Emmy Awards, as well as honours from the American
          Library Association, KidsFirst! Coalition for Quality Children's
          Media, Parents' Choice and the prestigious Humanitas prize. Devine's
          award-winning interactive website, www.devinetime.com, features
          profiles of 100 inventors, a trivia game, a flight lab and an
          e-commerce store.

          Devine Entertainment's films are based on historical and timeless
          stories that educate and inspire self-esteem in young people.
          Beginning with the highly successful "Beethoven Lives Upstairs,"
          Devine's films bring history's great geniuses to life through the eyes
          of children. "The Composers' Specials" feature the lives and music of
          Handel, Bach, Liszt, Rossini, Strauss and Bizet. "The Inventors'
          Specials" focus on the minds of Leonardo, Galileo, Newton, Curie,
          Edison and Einstein. "The Artists' Specials" showcase the lives and
          works of Degas, Cassatt, Monet, Rembrandt, Goya, and Homer. All 19
          specials were produced for HBO Original Programming and are
          international co-productions with Ireland, Czech Republic, Slovakia,
          and Croatia.
