                          EGM STATEMENT
                                
Forbidden  Technologies plc, which develops technology for  video
distribution  over  the internet, announces  the  result  of  the
Extraordinary General Meeting.

At  the EGM of the Company held today, the resolutions to approve
a  5  for 1 split of the Company's ordinary share capital and for
the  Directors  to allot up to 5% of the Company's  issued  share
capital  for cash, free of the statutory pre-emption rights  were
duly passed.  KPMG Audit plc were appointed auditors.

The Chairman, Vic Steel, made the following comments at the EGM:

'I  am  pleased to confirm that our development programme  is  on
schedule.  The team continues to make daily improvements  to  the
video compression technology.

'We  invited  shareholders  to  participate  in  our  forthcoming
development  trials  and  the response has  been  excellent.   We
intend to test the technology on a variety of computers, in three
stages,  commencing in June.  Initial participating  shareholders
are  being selected to give the widest possible variety and these
will be contacted before trials begin.  Other volunteers will  be
added as the trial is expanded.

'The  first  stage will be to transmit test data to identify  the
range of internet access speeds and computer speeds.

'The second stage will be the transmission of selected video to a
handful of users to test video transmission and playback over the
internet.

'The  third stage will be to widen video testing across a broader
base.

'The work on audio compression, although at an earlier stage than
the  video, is progressing well and trials will follow a  similar
pattern to that of the video.

'Forbidden  is still on target for a first trial product  by  the
end of this year.'

Following the five for one share split, dealings will commence in
the new denomination shares at 8.00am tomorrow 16th May, 2000.
