Related party revenues amounted to $3.4 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2002 and $1.0 million during the first quarter of 2003. The Company reported a net loss for the quarter of $6.3 million or $(0.14) per share. The results were based on a loss from operations of $4.9 million, which included $858,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation charges and $451,000 of depreciation and amortization. This compares to a net loss for the second quarter of 2002 of $3.6 million or $(0.09) per share, based on a loss from operations of $3.7 million that included $1.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation charges and $474,000 of depreciation and amortization. The Company's net loss for the prior quarter of $6.5 million or $(0.16) per share was based on a loss from operations of $6.2 million that included $1.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation charges, $479,000 of depreciation and amortization, and a $1.2 million charge for an office closure. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company reported revenues of $8.5 million, as compared to $10.2 million for the same period in 2002. Related party revenues amounted to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $5.6 million for the same period last year.

The Company's long-term debt obligations of $6.2 million were also flat with the previous quarter. Bob Rice, Viewpoint Corporation's chief executive officer, commented, "While this quarter was disappointing from a bottom line standpoint, we witnessed an improvement in our pipeline, product, and personnel. Our revenue increased 11 percent sequentially, and our pipeline includes significant, new opportunities, especially in the automotive space. We also significantly improved our platform and its distribution in the quarter. Finally, we have added experience to our board and management team, which we believe will help achieve our goal of profitability." QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS - VIEWPOINT APPOINTS NEW CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER William H. Mitchell will join Viewpoint as its chief financial officer on August 4, 2003. Mr. Mitchell, a certified public accountant who started his career with Price Waterhouse in New York, has worked over the last 20 years in the advertising, software and telecommunications industries in the capacity of chief financial officer, chief operating officer and other senior financial positions for several publicly traded companies including MaxWorldwide, Tally Systems, Bigfoot Interactive, TCI (Atlantic Division) and Group W Cable. Mr. Mitchell received an A.B. degree from Dartmouth College in 1979 and his MS/MBA from Northeastern University. - VIEWPOINT ADDS TO ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS As the Company announced on May 7, 2003, Stephen M. Duff, chief investment officer of The Clark Estates, Inc., was appointed to Viewpoint's Board of Directors. Prior to joining The Clark Estates in 1995, Mr. Duff was a vice president with The Portfolio Group, a subsidiary of the Chemical Banking Corporation.

Mr. Duff also serves on the board of the Clara Welch Thanksgiving Home, Inc., a non-profit elderly care facility in Cooperstown, New York. - ENHANCEMENTS TO THE VIEWPOINT MEDIA PLAYER Page 2 of 7 Viewpoint extended its platform and launched a new, cutting edge video capability. This addition creates the highest quality interactive content for the web and automatically scales quality to the viewer's bandwidth from standard HTTP web servers, no longer requiring streaming media servers to repurpose video assets. Viewpoint Media Player is the first graphics player to interactively composite and "serverlessly" synchronize and scale video content with other media types including: 3D, Macromedia Flash, HTML, and more. The company anticipates the first revenue impact from the new video capability to occur during the third quarter of 2003. - NEW AND RECURRING CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS Viewpoint added a number of new companies to its customer list during the quarter, with particular penetration in the automotive vertical. New automotive customers include: Buick, Lexus, Scion, Toyota and Infiniti. Viewpoint has also gained traction in other key verticals, signing contracts with such Companies as Samsung, Seiko, Sega, Unisys, ESPN, CBS Sportsline, Dunkin Donuts, Home Depot, Procter and Gamble, Purina as well as several others. Additionally, EMC, Playboy and Remington Arms all renewed their license agreements during the quarter. - CUSTOMERS EXPAND USE OF THE VIEWPOINT PLATFORM During the second quarter, Casio, Samsung, Ford and IBM expanded their relationships with Viewpoint and repurposed their assets across multiple media types. The robust aspects of the Viewpoint platform lends itself to ever increasing uses and has evolved beyond website marketing to Internet advertising and various offline marketing uses. The ability to deploy Viewpoint assets in so many ways drives the customer's ROI and ultimately increases Viewpoint's revenues. - INTERNATIONAL PROGRESS Viewpoint has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Eicoh Co., Ltd. of Japan, which is expected to significantly advance Viewpoint's standing in the fast-developing Asian market. Eicoh is a Japanese conglomerate with over 30 years of operating experience and expertise in systems integration and office automation equipment. Since the announcement of Viewpoint's relationship with Eicoh on April 15, 2003, several contracts have closed with major Japanese companies, including Hewlett Packard Japan, Sharp, Honda and Fuji Heavy Industries. - AOL RELATIONSHIP During the quarter, Viewpoint was actively involved in the development of major features and enhancements to the AOL service like AOL(R) Instant Greetings(TM), Page 3 of 7 and SuperBuddy(TM) icons, which will be a feature of the forthcoming AOL(R) 9.0 Optimized software release.
