EXHIBIT 99 SBS INTERACTIVE IMPROVES CAPITAL STRUCTURE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES CONVERTED TO EQUITY AT A PREMIUM TO FIXED CONVERSION PRICE TORONTO, April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall-- SBS Interactive, Co. (OTCBB: SBSS) announced today that persons who had collectively loaned the Company approximately $980,000 converted the loans into common stock as of February 6, 2004. The note holders, including the Company's management, converted at a price of $0.225. The holder of the largest note was entitled to convert at a price of $0.04 per share, but voluntarily agreed to increase the conversion price. In connection with the transaction, the note holders received five-year warrants to purchase approximately 1.1 million shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 and warrants to purchase 4.4 million shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1. The conversion by the note holders into 4.4 million shares of common stock substantially eliminates all of the Company's debt. The Company borrowed the funds over the past 24 months to develop its Side By Side technology. "We are pleased by this strong vote of confidence in the Company by our lenders," said Todd Gotlieb, SBS's Chief Executive Officer. "We believe this conversion, at an increased price, simplifies our capital structure and substantially eliminates all debt from our balance sheet. We have seen substantial interest in our Side by Side technology from both the business and consumer markets, and this conversion of debt will allow us to attract additional investment as we develop this promising technology further." The Side by Side technology uses a proprietary, patented reverse "blue screen" technology to seamlessly combine virtually any kind of pre recorded or computer generated content with the users' environment. The environment integrates with the content via the fully automated digital camera in the Side By Side set-top box. For optimal effect, this happens in real time.
