COMPANY PROFILE
Constellation 3D, Inc. (Nasdaq/NMS: CDDD)
Another timely release by InvestProCentral.com

Constellation 3D (C3D) has developed breakthrough 'Fluorescent Multilayer Disc and Card'
(FMD/C) technology that C3D management believes will vastly increase the capacity of
existing removable data storage formats. The Company has successfully demonstrated both
removable data disc technology capable of storing 100 gigabytes (In comparison, a standard
DVD disc holds just 4.7 gigabytes) and a credit card-sized memory product that holds up to
10 gigabytes. In the future, cards and discs with capacities exceeding 1 Terabyte (1,000
gigabytes) are planned.

RECENT NEWS
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 16, 2001-- Founding member of DVD Consortium to co-develop Fluorescent Multilayer
Disk manufacturing process
Constellation 3D, Inc. ("C3D") (Nasdaq/NMS: CDDD), developer of Fluorescent Multilayer Discs (FMD) and Cards (FMC),
today announced that the Company has signed a Cooperative Development and Licensing Agreement with Warner Advanced
Media Operations (WAMO), a business unit of WEA Manufacturing Inc., a subsidiary of AOL Time Warner, to co-develop,
cross license and manufacture high density Fluorescent Multilayer ROM media.

TECHNOLOGY

Constellation 3D's technology implements the concept of 3-dimensional storage of
information. Data is recorded on up to 100 layers located inside a disc or a card, as
opposed to the single or double layer method available in compact discs, and DVDs.


It is important to understand the differences between Constellation 3D's FLUORESCENT
technology and the REFLECTIVE optical discs like CDs and DVDs


With Constellation 3D's Fluorescent Multilayer technology, each storage layer is coated
with a transparent fluorescent material rather than the reflective metallic layer of a CD
or DVD. When the laser beam hits a mark on a layer, fluorescent light is emitted. This
emitted light has a different wavelength from the incident laser light and is incoherent
in nature, in contrast to the reflected coherent light in current optical devices.

Because of this incoherent nature, the emitted light is not affected by data marks of the
above storage layers, and this allows for the implementation of up to 100 data layers. An
additional advantage of this incoherent light is a high fault tolerance, as it is much
less affected by media impurities. This allows less stringent manufacturing standards for
media and discs (cheaper prices) while providing products with more rugged performance
characteristics than CDs and DVD.

FMD drives and media will be similar in size, design and price to CD and DVD drives and
players currently on the market. Lasers and laser focusing technology will be the same and
only minor modifications are required in the signal-processing unit to allow for the
reading of the incoherent light emitted by an FMD disc rather than the coherent light of a
CD or DVD.

Note: With existing CDs and DVDs, the coherent nature of the reflected laser beam causes
interference and intra-layer cross talk. As a result, the signal quality degrades rapidly
with the number of layers. Dual layer DVDs are the limit, and further research efforts
into multi-layer reflective technologies have been abandoned.

Now you understand the basic technology of Fluorescent Multilayer Technology, it is easy
to determine some major advantages

100 times storage capacity increase.

Reading from several layers simultaneously allows for retrieval speeds of up to one
gigabit/second.

Considerably more robust data carrier than CD and DVDs.

Cheaper manufacturing cost: fewer restrictions in temperature range, vibration and air-
cleanness during manufacturing.

Readers and drives can be backward-compatible with current technology.

Young technology with a lot of space to grow and evolve.



EXCLUSIVITY

C3D believes that its more than 120 approved and/or pending patents provide a broad-based
portfolio that covers virtually all essential elements of Fluorescent Multilayer
technology. As the exclusive owner of fluorescent multilayer technology, C3D is positioned
to enjoy rapid revenue growth and healthy margins as the technology is adopted by disc,
card and drive manufacturers and penetrates various markets.

The company is currently exploring partnership arrangements with data storage industry
leaders in all relevant market segments. The goal of these arrangements is to ensure swift
adoption of the company's multi layer technology into the next generation of devices that
incorporate data storage. Constellation 3D will provide fully functional prototypes of the
relevant storage device and industry partners will undertake the manufacturing, marketing
and distribution of the product. Constellation 3D will realize revenues by licensing its
technology to these partners.

Projected revenue sources include:

Equity-based profits from joint venture enterprises
Royalties and other per-unit revenues from media and drive manufacturers that
introduce the technology into the marketplace
Royalties from sales of key components such as dye polymers

LOI Agreements:

Nippon Zeon - Steag Hamatech - Toolex Intl. - Lite-On IT Corp. - Plasmon - Avica

MARKETS

Digital video players and recorders, HDTV, Corporate Archiving, enterprise and PC/laptop
data storage, digital cinema, personal computer storage/backup devices, internet content
streaming and data warehousing.

HDTV: Constellation's videodisc will offer higher resolution, higher bit-rates and greater
realism than current consumer video formats. Recordable FMD media should be capable of up
to 20 hours of HDTV recording.

Digital Cinema Market: the replacement of traditional cellulite prints with a digitalized
alternative could save the U.S. industry $600 million per year (source: The National
Association of Theatre Owners) while generating high visibility for C3D's technology.

For mobile applications, C3D's ClearCard will have capacities of up to 10 Gigabytes, and
offer tremendous per-gigabyte cost savings versus current technology. Current storage
demand in these markets is rising at a rate of about 60% per year. The ClearCard should be
able to quickly infiltrate high-growth industries such as the Digital camera and digital
camcorder markets, portable video players, PC/laptop storage, PDAs, combined MP3/MP4
players, G3 mobile phones, and e-books.

Each market for Fluorescent Multilayer technology should yield numerous revenue streams as
multiple licenses are granted for media and drive manufacturing in each product category.
CONCLUSION

As consumer storage needs grow, so too will the market for FMD discs and drives. The
technology's robust nature and low manufacturing cost make it ideally suited for broad
market acceptance.

The next generation of fluorescent multi-layer technologies will give users the ability to
write and record their own content for future playback. Constellation's rewritable
Terabyte FMD with a 1Gb/sec retrieval speed will be the solution for 21st century storage
needs.
