SAN MATEO, California, April 24 /PRNewswire/ --

- Message of Hope Considered 'Too Important Not To Be Heard'

Horn Productions, Inc. announced today that "Light of Hope: Help for
Children with Autism," the first-ever internet telecast focused on autism
recovery, will debut internationally on Friday, April 24, Saturday, April 25
and Sunday, April 26 at www.findingthewords.org during the final week of
World Autism Awareness Month, and will be co-sponsored by the CEOs of two
Silicon Valley software companies: NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N) and Zoho
Corporation. The hour-long block of programming, which will feature clips

Sharing the primary sponsorship slots for broadcast programming is a
first for the NetSuite and Zoho Corp. CEOs who both have children on the
autism spectrum. They felt that this was their chance to bring help to
families around the world struggling with similar issues.

According to Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite: "We are excited about
supporting this event because it explores and presents a whole new way of
thinking about autism. We are pleased to help bring this extraordinary event,
and the new paradigm of autism it introduces, to families worldwide. It's too
important not to be heard."

Sridhar Vembu, CEO of Zoho Corporation, agreed. "We believe that
technology holds the key to uncovering the commonalities of so many of these
children. We need to work with the medical community to find answers to all
of the unanswered questions about autism - its treatment and its prevention.
But first, one must have hope. And that's the message this program delivers
so well."

Elizabeth Horn, President of Horn Productions, Inc., said: "Having
support from two successful Silicon Valley industry leaders is a dream come
true for us. Our mission, to bring the 'good news about autism' to families
that need hope so desperately, will only be fulfilled with help from caring
individuals. They are making a real difference for people who need it most."
