                Italy Licensing and Distribution Agreement


Forbidden Technologies plc has reached agreement with Mediaconcept Srl, a
company established by TechExperts Srl and Business Design Srl to promote and
develop Forbidden Technologies' new generation of online and mobile video
streaming products in the Italian market.

Mediaconcept has licensed Forbidden's FORmobile video system for mobile phones
and FORadvertisers system for web distribution of TV commercials.  Mediaconcept
will use FORmobile to build a mobile video content portal, VJ Portal.
FORadvertisers will be promoted to major brand owners through the Italian
advertising agencies.

Italy is the second largest mobile market in the EU with over 50 million mobile
subscribers.  The number of mobile data customers is on the increase in Europe.
There were approximately 16 million active users of services run over GPRS in
Europe at the end of September 2003, a quarterly increase of just under 30%.

Greg Hirst, Business Development Director, Forbidden Technologies said:

'We are pleased that Mediaconcept has chosen our products as the basis on which
to launch VJPortal and their offer to advertisers.  The Italian market is
already an enthusiastic consumer of high quality data services, particularly on
mobile phones, and we look forward to supporting Mediaconcept in this dynamic
growth market.'

Paolo Rossi, Managing Director, Mediaconcept added:

'Using Forbidden's high quality compressed video products will allow us to
launch VJPortal in the shortest possible time with a range of exciting, high
quality video material.  Italian viewers are quick to adopt new sources of
entertainment and information and we are convinced that they will rapidly become
enthusiastic consumers of mobile video.'

                                                               3rd February 2004
