SAN CARLOS, CALIFORNIA, March 9, 2000 -- ImaginOn, Inc. (NASDAQ; IMON) (www.imaginon.com) today announced a number of management changes and promotions in the areas of engineering, sales and management. According to ImaginOn Chief Executive Officer David Schwartz all of the announcements are effective immediately.

In the area of engineering, ImaginOn co-founder Len Kain has resigned his position of Vice President of Engineering because of family medical reasons.  Tina Hwang, who has served as ImaginOn's System Software Development Manager since 1997, has been promoted to Vice President of Engineering, filling the position vacated by Len Kain.

"All of us wish the very best for Len and his family," Schwartz said today.  "Len has been my colleague and friend for more than 14 years and I look forward to the day when Len can return to ImaginOn.  Until that time, we are grateful that Len will remain actively involved as a consultant to the Company.  We are also very fortunate to have a person of Tina Hwang's caliber to move up to serve as Vice President of Engineering.  Tina and her team have played an instrumental role in the development of the ImOn.comTV product line.  She has demonstrated that she is a brilliant engineer and team leader.  I have every confidence that she will continue to serve ImaginOn well in her new position."

Prior to joining ImaginOn in 1997, Tina Hwang held the position of Manager of Software Development at VTEL, where she supervised a team of 14 engineers.  Prior 
to this she was with IBM for seven years, where she served as a Technical Team Leader and Software Engineer.  Tina Hwang graduated from Cheng-Chi University in Tapei, Taiwan, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business.  She was awarded a Master of Science degree in Computer Engineering from San Jose State University in San Jose, California and a Masters of Science degree in Mathematical Economics from the University of San Francisco.
