DVD EXTRA, the technology that should see this company through to profits and a very bright future.
DVD-Extra

During the year the Group accelerated its development of a revolutionary
authoring software for producing interactive DVD-Video discs that will play on
any standard consumer DVD player. We applied for and received a SMART grant
award of 188,000 from the Department of Trade and Industry to assist with the
research and development. DVD-Extra unlocks the hidden interactive capabilities
that exist in every player, and allows developers to produce titles that exhibit
many of the properties of multimedia CD-ROM on a standard, unmodified, DVD
player.

ZOO's principal offering is a product for authoring interactive DVD-Video discs
called DVD-Extra Studio. This tool operates in a similar way to multimedia
authoring products that are designed for creating CD-ROM applications for PC and
Macintosh, but produces DVD-Video disc images as its output. It performs a
similar function to so-called DVD authoring products that are designed
specifically for creating DVD-Video discs, but due to the patent-pending
authoring method it employs, it offers substantial cost savings for companies
that are involved in the production of DVDs and also enables more sophisticated
functionality to be developed.

ZOO will license DVD-Extra Studio to multimedia developers and Compression and
Authoring facilities. Charges will be levied on a pay-per-use basis, such that
customers will pay a fee to ZOO for each project that uses DVD-Extra Studio.

The Group has applied for patents to protect the core DVD-Extra technology and
is continuing to further develop and protect its intellectual property
worldwide.

Outlook

Following the successful fundraising of 1.5m gross through the share placing
which was completed on 2nd June 2003 the Group looks forward to positive
progression. The portfolio of products is expanding, with a focus on the
development of our own intellectual properties. The board believes that the
combination of publishing low risk licensed product and in-house own brands
together with the huge potential of DVD-Extra Studio places the Group in an
excellent position for a move to profitability and significant future growth.

The Group plans to exploit the DVD-Extra technology internationally and has
established an Early Adopter Programme consisting of around twenty companies
including Technicolor, Warner and Comchoice, leading to the first commercial
release of the product within twelve months. We believe that the uniqueness of
DVD-Extra and the filing of international patents will allow ZOO to build and
maintain significant differentiation over other authoring tool providers.

a buy order for 500,000 shares went through at 10.00, I personally think this is the sort of company the market loves. Great innovation and with narrowing losses this is a star of the future.

What is its real potential?
Family of five arrive home. They all sit down to tea/dinner early evening.
After dinner, on goes the television /DVD
Kids want to play their Zoo digital games. Dad wants to watch the news, Mum wants to watch a gardening programne after the news. Kids are told to go upstairs and play with their games on their Games machine. When would the DVD games be played?

Dave,

Good point!



Stu,

You may well be right, but sadly the chart, at the moment anyway, seems to suggest the opposite!

Hypothetical nonsense!

davehmiller,

thats a fair point, but I'd add that most households now have 2 or more televisions and kids will not be interested in interactive dvd versus real games - there is no competition. However, interactive dvds are the future for film (IMO). The games side of things is likely to be aimed at adults as the primary market, so i think there is a real chance ZOO can capture substantial contracts. Time will tell.

just been reading this thread today, just a thought along the lines of what you were saying, I am a long term holder of zoo shares, and as the mother of a toddler I can see huge potential for their technology if used for kids stuff. most parents are only too happy to buy something if its going to be educational for the kids and especially if it gives us a bit of peace and quiet.just look at the success of anything t/tubbies or b.the builder. - and in the debate about ps2 versus dvd player, i know alot of families who like us have a ps2 (usually for dad, in a seperate room)and a dvd player in the main sitting room, usually for the kids to use, mainly through the day when the parent can get on with the housework.my little boy can't master the controls of the ps2 yet, but he can use the tv remote with numbers on it. Anyway hope you don't object to my comments, best wishes to all zooers,

regards jules.
