              RELATIONSHIP FORMED WITH E-LICIOUS


E-district.net  plc ('e-district'), the AIM-quoted  owner  and
developer of LeisureDistrict.net, a leading interactive family
entertainment and community channel, has signed a  partnership
agreement with e-licious,  a leading recipe site on the web .

Under the terms of the agreement e-licious will take core data
and  deliver  it  in  an iTV compliant format  and  will  then
distribute it across all its distribution platforms.

E-District  will  then sell advertising and sponsorship  space
and stand to keep 65% of all advertising revenues.

The agreement has been formed for a minimum of 12 months.

The content from e-licious significantly  enhances
LeisureDistrict's library activity where there is  a  category
that  allows  users to submit their own recipes  and  look  at
others.

This  latest  agreement  follows  recent  announcements  which
included  a  UK distribution agreement with Cable  &  Wireless
Communications  plc,  a sharp growth in registered  users  and
page  impressions  in  the  first  quarter  of  2000  and   an
interactive digital production agreement with Unity Pictures.


Steve Laitman, e-district's Chief Executive said :

'e-licious  is a perfect relationship addition to E-District's
family  entertainment and community channel.  e-licious  is  a
prime  example  of  the type of information  that  E-District,
through  its many recent interactive TV alliances, is  looking
to deliver.'
