company will leverage E-Vue's superior MPEG-4 digital media technology to

ISELIN, NJ and GREAT NECK NY, July 13, 2001 - E-Vue, Inc. ("E-Vue") and

the parties have signed a Letter of Intent for clickNsettle.com to acquire

be raised at a minimum entity valuation of $20 million.

The combined company will focus its newly acquired technology on the growing
market for digital media technology and services for the broadband and wireless

distinguish its offering and to exploit growth opportunities in the market
presently served. The company believes that the present ADR (Alternative Dispute

As a result of the proposed merger, E-Vue's Chairman, Charles Xue, will become

consumption technology platform is the only international standard based cross
network and cross terminal multimedia platform for digital convergence. E-Vue
digital media software and hardware products are well positioned for the
broadband and wireless multimedia markets, including the media based
communication market. We also see that Asia and Europe are ahead of the US in
terms of network and service deployment in these markets. The merger provides us
with additional vehicles to achieve our goal of rapid expansion in these
markets."

Roy Israel, clicknsettle.com's Chairman and CEO, said "E-Vue has an excellent
next generation digital media technology platform and has a strong position in
its intellectual properties. As one area of application, E-Vue's media
communication platform can be integrated with our online dispute resolution

merger will strongly enhance our shareholder's value both in the short term and
