Screen Technology Group plc 30 October 2006 For Immediate Release 30 October 2006 SCREEN TECHNOLOGY GROUP PLC (the 'Company' or "Screen Technology") ITrans screens installed in Virgin Megastores Screen Technology Group plc, the designer and manufacturer of revolutionary high-resolution large-screen displays for high ambient light environments, today announces an agreement to supply its ITrans screen displays initially to 16 Virgin Megastores in the UK. Under the terms of a contract with Digital Screen Networks ("DSN"), 16 ITrans digital displays, will be provided for use as a window-based in-store advertising tool in Virgin Megastores in the UK. Two displays have already been installed and are operating in Virgin's flagship stores in Piccadilly Circus and Birmingham New Street. A third is being installed in Virgin's Manchester Arndale Centre Megastore in time for the Centre's official re-opening in November. The remaining 13 units will be shipped to DSN by the end of the year in time for installation to commence in Megastores around the country early in the New Year. The 63 inch screens will promote brands, films and products to the considerable footfall alongside the Virgin Megastores. Advertising on the screens is being handled by Digital Screen Networks which has a five year agreement with Virgin to promote advertising content and which works closely with Virgin's branding agency, Sequoia. Microsoft X Box, Sony Pictures and EMI are already using the new screens for their advertising content. ITrans, the unique new technology behind Screen Technology's displays, delivers high-resolution, high-quality images, visible from short and long distances in daylight. Screen Technology has recently commenced commercial production of ITrans displays and, with its first high speed production machine currently being commissioned, it will soon be able to accept a greater number of orders similar to this. Current Trading The pipeline of sales opportunities for ITrans continues to build. In addition, the company is in advanced discussions with a number of OEM's and is looking forward to making a further announcement shortly. The timing of these agreements is not certain but the Board expects revenue for the period ending 31 December 2006 will be in the range £800,000 - £1,250,000. The Board is also expecting substantial growth in 2007. Tom Jarman, Chief Executive of Screen Technology, commented: "We are delighted to be supplying our displays to such a high profile brand as Virgin, which will put our innovative screens in front of millions of people across the UK. The roll-out programme of our screens throughout Virgin Megastores is a significant endorsement of our market leading technology. "Since our flotation in 2005 we have been gearing up for the mass production of ITrans and we are now beginning to see the benefits from this period of development. We look forward to announcing further orders as we begin the major push forward into the commercialisation phase of the business and maximise the benefits of our new high speed production capabilities. We look forward to updating shareholders on further developments."

The high resolution and high definition of the Company's displays give a high-quality image suitable for advertising images and video as well as public information displays. They are visible at short viewing distances as well as across larger venues making them particularly suitable for large retail outlets, shopping malls, control rooms and transport concourses where customers might be within 10m of the display, a distance at which LED display technologies become unsuitable. The high brightness means that the displays are also easily visible in the kind of high ambient light environments where conventional LCD or plasma technologies become unusable. Screen Technology's patent protected technology uses moulded optical fibre tiles to produce seamless large displays using standard production LCD panels. The scaleable modular technology enables screens to be built in a wide variety of shapes and of theoretically unlimited size. Screen Technology Group plc listed on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange, on 1 August 2005.
