Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements about HSA:

         This press release contains statements about future events and
expectations that are "forward-looking statements." Any statement in this press
release that is not a statement of historical fact is a forward-looking
statement that involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause the company's actual results, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Specific factors that
might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: the company's
uncertain ability to control expenses and increase revenues to achieve its
business plan, particularly in light of the current economic environment and the
company's limited capital; the company's unproven and evolving business model,
which has recently



   2


undergone substantial changes, and which may continue to change; the company's
history of losses and anticipation of future losses; the company's limited
capital resources, which may be depleted faster than the company anticipates if
it is not able to increase revenues and control expenses consistent with its
business plan, and which may constrain the company's ability to operate at its
current levels or to offer current products or services; the company's need for
additional capital, which may not be available in the future to fund its
business plan; the potential fluctuations in the company's operating results;
the company's competition; the company's potential inability to attract and
retain end users; disruptions to operations and accounting charges that could
occur if the company decided to pursue an acquisition; the company's potential
inability to establish or maintain relationships with cable operators, including
Charter Communications; rapid technological change and evolving industry
standards in the markets for the company's services; and those risks and
uncertainties discussed in filings made by the company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements in this press release are as
of the date hereof and the company assumes no obligation to update these
