 Amino Technologies plc ('Amino' or 'the Company'; stock code: AMO), the
Cambridge based broadband network software and systems company, announces that
it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ('MoU') with Chengdu USEE
Digital Technology Co. Ltd. ('USEE'), a broadband multimedia company based in
the People's Republic of China ('PRC').

Under the terms of the MoU, Amino and USEE plan to collaborate closely in
respect of development, production, marketing and sales to provide broadband
network added value services within the PRC. The agreement provides for the
progressive development of the relationship. Initial orders have been received
from USEE for 10,000 IP Multimedia Terminal Devices (set-top boxes) for delivery
in early 2007; significant additional orders for delivery during 2007 are
expected. These orders will start to contribute to revenue and profit in Amino's
2007 financial year.

Amino and USEE will also co-develop additional products incorporating Amino's
IntAct software stack in order to provide applications such as AVS (advanced
audio and video standard) codec technology, video telephone application (VTA),
VoIP, gaming, etc. The AVS codec technology will be developed by Amino using
software codec expertise gained from the acquisition of SJ Consulting last
January.

Bob Giddy, Amino's CEO said: 'We are pleased to collaborate with USEE, a highly
qualified partner with a valuable market presence within the PRC. This agreement
has great potential for further development and reflects the work Amino has been
doing within the PRC over the past two years.'

Mr Hai Tao, USEE's General Manager commented 'Amino has a unique experience with
worldwide deployments, proven technology and the most robust client software
available, that could be well integrated into USEE's platform to serve the
Chinese market.'
