Arius3D Corp. ("Arius3D" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:LZR) and Masterfile
Corporation ("Masterfile") announced that the proposed acquisition by Arius3D of
all of the issued and outstanding securities of Masterfile scheduled to close on
March 31, 2012 will not close. The companies are now exploring alternative
strategic options, which include a 3D image distribution agreement for Arius3D
images by Masterfile. In addition to a distribution agreement, the two companies
are evaluating various potential transactions that would further their mutual
interests. 


Perry Monych, CEO of Arius3D stated "Masterfile represents a unique opportunity
for Arius3D and the strong management and financial performance of Masterfile
over its history has reinforced our view that its existing image licensing
business is a sound platform for Arius3D to work with to further our own 3D
image distribution strategy. Arius3D continues to believe that a direct
relationship with Masterfile is the optimal solution for both companies and
every effort is being pursued to establish that relationship with the active
support of Masterfile."
