                  ZOO Signs New Software Licensing Agreements

ZOOtech Ltd ('ZOOtech') the interactive DVD technology pioneer and subsidiary of
ZOO, today announced it has signed a number of licensing deals for its unique
DVD authoring technology DVD-EXTRA. The deals are across multiple territories
and see the continued roll-out of the technology to developers and publishers
looking to produce highly interactive DVD titles. ZOO expects to generate around
£1.5million in revenues from licensing and royalties in this market sector in
this financial year.

In North America new agreements with Scholastic Media, Brighter Minds Media and
Endless Games for products that use ZOO's technology for new interactive DVDs
will produce a broad range of new titles based on popular television, film and
book properties. In Europe further licenses have been agreed with Vivid
Imaginations Ltd, Big Red Frog, Silenn and Compedia. ZOOtech has also signed its
first developer and publisher contracts in Italy with Cinehollywood -
demonstrating the continued expansion and growth in the market for interactive
DVDs across multiple territories. These additions contribute to a robust
publishing schedule for 2006 and 2007 across a number of DVD game categories.

Stuart Green, CEO of ZOO, said;

'ZOO is very pleased to be working with these new partners to create a diverse
range of products using the DVD-Video platform to create truly interactive
experiences that children, families and gamers will enjoy. The Board believes
that the prospects for the development of its range of unique DVD software tools
remain sound and are encouraged by the continuing commercial opportunities
presented. We are committed to reducing the technology barriers so that
publishers have the greatest possible freedom to bring their visions of
interactive entertainment to the DVD market. DVD-EXTRA STUDIO users can automate
many formerly manual processes, such as the generation of assets and links.
These types of efficiencies simply cannot be replicated using other tools.'
