ENTERTAINMENT RIGHTS AGREES THREE MOVIE DEAL WITH MATTEL

Entertainment Rights Plc ('ER'), one of the UK's leading independent media
groups is pleased to announce an agreement with Mattel Inc for the home
entertainment and television distribution rights to the next three animated
Barbie(R) feature-length movies, bringing the total number of Barbie(R) films
distributed by ER to nine.

The three titles will be released in the UK on DVD and video throughout 2006
through ER's home entertainment label, Right Entertainment. ER has also secured
certain international television rights (excluding USA) to the films.

This agreement follows ER's success as the distributor of Mattel's previous
Barbie(R) films, including Barbie(TM) in the Nutcracker, Barbie(TM) as Rapunzel,
Barbie(TM) of Swan Lake, Barbie(TM) as the Princess and the Pauper and
Barbie(TM) FairytopiaTM. Home entertainment sales through Right Entertainment
have exceeded 10.6 million units and six titles have been sold by ER to leading
broadcasters in more than 80 countries.

In March 2005, ER announced the release of the brand new Barbie(R) feature film,
Barbie(TM) and the Magic of Pegasus, which will be released on DVD and VHS in
the UK on 17 October 2005.

The first title to be released in 2006 under this new agreement as part of the
three movie deal will be Barbie(TM) Diaries. Barbie(TM) Diaries represents a new
phase in the Barbie(R) film franchise as for the first time Barbie(R) plays
herself as a suburban teenager at high school. Barbie(TM) Mermaidia, will also
be released in 2006 as will a third title which follows on from the Barbie(R)
Princess series of movies.
Mike Heap, Chief Executive, Entertainment Rights commented:

'We are delighted to be partnering with Mattel, who have shown unprecedented
confidence in ER with this new agreement for the next three Barbie movies,
bringing the total number of Barbie titles distributed by ER to nine. The
success of the previous Barbie titles is a testament to the high quality films
coupled with the expertise of ER's International Sales team and Home
Entertainment Division. I am in no doubt that these brand new movies will
emulate the success of the previous Barbie titles and will be loved by girls
around the globe.'

-Ends-

One of the new films is Diaries Barbie that could be reveling.
Home entertainment sales through Right Entertainment have exceeded 10.6 million units, so with an extra three films we could expect an extra 5m units, a nice revenue earner.

Good news from ERT.

Mike Heap, CEO, Entertainment Rights Plc commented:

'We are absolutely delighted by the addition of Rupert Bear to our stable of
global children's brands. Whilst Rupert will retain his distinctive look and
character and will maintain his existing friendships, he will be joined in
Nutwood by a brand new cast of characters. This is a significant deal for ER and
