Vancouver, BC, 2001/08/27

ActiveState has been chosen by Profit Magazine as one of Canada's Hottest
Startups for 2001. The annual ranking celebrates the achievements of the
best and brightest young businesses.

"We're honored to be chosen amongst the top 50 emerging growth companies in
Canada," said Dick Hardt, Founder and CEO. "We appreciate the recognition of
the unique challenges we've faced in finding a successful business model
around open source."

ActiveState provides open source based programming products and services for
cross-platform development. ActiveState's key technologies are Perl, the
Internet's most popular programming language; Python and Tcl, user-friendly
scripting languages; PHP, the dynamic Web programming language; and XSLT,
the XML transformation language.

In our four year history we've gone from a small two person shop to the
leader in our market with many of the top open source developers on staff
and as advisors.

Our mission is to make programming easier and we believe in the core values
of creating a great place to work, integrity, responsibility, and superior
customer service. Over 50% of the Fortune 500 are customers and we are
working hard to attract the remainder!
