TORONTO, CANADA and NEW YORK, NEW YORK--(Marketwired - Jan. 20, 2014) - Intertainment Media Inc. ("Intertainment Media" or "Company") (TSX VENTURE:INT)(OTCQX:ITMTF)(FRANKFURT:I4T) is pleased to provide a corporate update to its shareholders. The key components of the update cover internal programs, new business initiatives, portfolio investment companies, capital, Annual General and Special Meeting and investment / divestiture programs.

Over the past 14 months, management with guidance from its Board of Directors has spent a considerable amount of its time and energies devoted to reducing expenditures, moving from investment to execution, building key programs, like Yappn and Ortsbo's Customer Care initiatives and divesting of assets, including itiBiti, and Ad Taffy, Poynt and Tunezy and most recently announcing the proposed sale of Magnum Fine Commercial Printing Limited for an aggregate CDN $1.5 Million. The sales of itiBiti, Ad Taffy, Poynt and Magnum will continue to provide Intertainment with cash flow from payments of sale notes. With the divestitures completed and in the case of Magnum, underway and continuous expense review, the focus is concentrated on developing business programs for the Company's assets and investing in the creation and support of new initiatives.

Internal Programs and New Business Initiatives

The board and management have had ongoing discussions on how to best provide continued support and develop resources for Ortsbo as there is a considerable amount of opportunities within its business sector. The Company continues to evaluate internal and external opportunities for Ortsbo Inc. (www.ortsbo.com) and Mr. Anthony R. Pearlman, President and COO of Intertainment Media, upon his return from managing the sale of the Poynt technology and integration to the purchaser, is now focusing his primary energies on growing Ortsbo's Canadian and US operations and revenue generation. Mr. Pearlman has extensive experience in the Telecom and Business Processing Outsourcer (BPO) space, having previously held the position of President at Enghouse Systems in Toronto. Mr. Pearlman's mandate is to expand the key offerings of Ortsbo within the global Customer Care arena and build the core revenue and to continue to pursue stand alone strategies for the business unit. Mr. Pearlman will also continue to hold his positions at Intertainment Media Inc.

Intertainment is expected to continue to expand its current incubation activities throughout fiscal and calendar 2014 and has been reviewing a number of new activities in the US, Canada and overseas. Given the divestiture of certain assets and the continued reduction in ongoing expenses, the Company has been evaluating a number of new technologies and social engagement programs. These include opportunities in the areas of eCommerce, Social Media, 3D Technologies, Online Entertainment, Data Analytics, Advertising and Branding and Language Services. The focus for the Company is to find, support through investment, internal development and acquisition and ultimately create ongoing revenue and / or exit value for these enterprises, which are next generation programs showcasing leading edge technology and social solutions that have significant opportunities to scale revenue and value. As an established leader in this area, having sold 4 properties at a profitable level in 2013 and in the process of a further portfolio exit and valuation exercise on others, the Company has proven experience in this sector.
