    Forward-Looking Statement 

    Certain statements herein relating to JumpTV's merger with NeuLion, Inc. are forward-looking statements and represent JumpTV's current
intentions in respect of future activities. These statements, in addressing future events and conditions, involve inherent risks and
uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can by identified by the use of the words "will," "expect," "seek," "anticipate," "believe,"
"plan," "estimate," "expect," and "intend" and statements that an event or result "may," "will," "can," "should," "could," or "might" occur
or be achieved and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve significant risk, uncertainties and assumptions. Many
factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results discussed or implied in the
forward-looking statements. These factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking
statements. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this release are based upon what Management believes to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure readers that actual results will be
consistent with these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this release and the Company
assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law. Many factors could cause
the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including: approval by the TSX of the merger and private
placement, the integration of the businesses of JumpTV and NeuLion, our continued relationships with our channel partners, general economic
and market segment conditions, competitor activity, product capability and acceptance, rates, technology changes and international risk and
currency exchange. More specific risks include that the merged entity will not be able to realize some or all of the expected synergies due to incompatibilities in the merging businesses, the
inability of management to bring about such synergies or a changing business environment rendering such synergies inadvisable or
uneconomical. After integrating the businesses the suite of service offerings may not perform as expected if shifting demand moves in a
direction away from the expected business model of the merged entity, if competitors are able to take market share away from the merged
entity or if changing technology adversely impacts the merged businesses. In addition, while the Company expects its content partners and
those of NeuLion to continue and expand their relationship with the merged entity, there can be no assurance that such relationships will
continue as expected, or at all. More detailed assessment of the risks that could cause actual results to materially differ than current
expectations is contained in the "Risk Assessment" section of the company's 2007 annual MD&A filed on www.sedar.com.
