                     CSS STELLAR PLC
             ('CSS STELLAR' OR THE 'GROUP')


CSS  Stellar,  the  AIM listed sports  and  entertainment
management  and marketing group, today announces  it  has
made   a  strategic  investment  in  Target  Distribution
Limited    ('Target'),   an   international    television
distribution company.

A  majority  shareholding  in Target,  representing  58.5
percent  of  the current issued share capital,  is  being
acquired  by  CSS Stellar from shareholder  Tiger  Aspect
Group  ('Tiger  Aspect').  Tiger  Aspect  was  a  founder
shareholder  along with Alison Rayson, Target's  Managing
Director who holds the balance of the Target shares,  and
Talkback Productions Limited ('Talkback') when Target was
established in London in 1998. Talkback subsequently sold
its  investment  in  Target to Tiger  Aspect  and  Alison
Rayson, when the company was acquired by Pearson  PLC  in
2000.

The  Group's  investment on completion (which  will  also
include the assignment to CSS Stellar of the Tiger Aspect
loan  to  Target of £125,000) is for a cash consideration
of  £568,183 and the issue of 155,000 ordinary shares  of
50p each in CSS Stellar ('Ordinary Shares') at a price of
154.5p  per  share.  The loan is being  assigned  to  CSS
Stellar  on  the  same terms. CSS Stellar  will  also  be
providing a working capital facility to Target of  up  to
£400,000. Tiger Aspect has signed a one year lock-in  not
to  dispose  of  its shareholding in CSS Stellar.  Target
will continue to be managed by Alison Rayson.

Target  currently  controls the  television  distribution
rights   for   almost  1,000  hours  of  popular   drama,
animation, children's and light entertainment programming
as  well  as  several programme formats. These programmes
include  Popstars  and Popstars: The Rivals,  Footballers
Wives,  Bad  Girls and the new BBC quiz show  The  Chair,
hosted  by  John McEnroe. Target's programming  sells  to
over  one hundred territories and three hundred and fifty
producers and broadcasters (of which the largest is Seven
Network in Australia) worldwide.

In  the  year  to  31st  December 2001,  Target  made  an
adjusted operating profit of £217,000 (adjusted for  non-
recurring items) on turnover of £4,731,000. At  the  same
date, the business had net liabilities of £25,000.

John Webber, Chairman of CSS Stellar, commented:

'This  is an important strategic investment for the Group
and  one  we  have  long  planned.  Target  is  a  highly
respected  distributor  with strong  relationships  among
leading  international broadcasters.  We, and  especially
our  colleagues  at  PFD, look forward  to  working  with
Alison Rayson and her team to build a relationship  which
should  greatly enhance the media opportunities  for  the
Group.  We are also delighted to have Tiger Aspect  as  a
shareholder.'

Andrew Zein, Managing Director of Tiger Aspect added:

'We have every confidence that Target will flourish under
the  CSS  Stellar umbrella and look forward to continuing
to work with both Target and CSS Stellar.'

Application will be made for the 155,000 Ordinary  Shares
now  being issued to be admitted to AIM. Admission of the
Ordinary Shares is expected and dealings are expected  to
commence on 2 October 2002.
