Note to Editors:


Cosmedia's business


*   Foreign ownership of television and broadcasting channels
in China is not permitted and all such Chinese channels are state-owned and
operated under the supervision of the Chinese government. Cosmedia has
established a long-term relationship with China Great Wall Art and Culture
Center ("Great Wall") a subsidiary of the Chinese State Administration of Radio,
Film and Television ("SARFT"), to act as exclusive advertising sales agent to a
Chinese television channel with nationwide broadcasting potential ("the 
Channel").


*   Cosmedia generates revenue by selling the Channel's
advertising airtime and providing integrated solutions to advertisers such as
programme title sponsorship, product placement and product messages embedded in
programmes. In the future, Cosmedia may look to generate home shopping revenue
as well as new media advertising income through, for example, co-operation with
the Channel's dedicated website, the Internet, wireless operators and service
providers.


Market overview


*   Television is currently the largest media sector in China,
both in terms of its reach and influence. With the benefit of new technologies,
the Chinese television industry has grown and diversified, developing into a
complex network of satellite, cable, video-on demand and Internet-based service
providers.


*   According to ZenithOptimedia, China's television market is
the largest market in Asia Pacific, with 355 million television households
representing a penetration rate of 95 per cent as of 2004. Of these, 128 million
are cable households. In 2005, ZenithOptimedia forecast that by the end of 2007
total television households and cable households would increase to 385 million
and 164 million respectively.


The Company has listed on AIM in order to raise the Company's profile as a
quoted company and to provide access to the capital markets for future
expansion.
