In August 2007, ZOO acquired
the authoring business of Scope Seven, providing the group with a base near its
key customers in California and a broader service offering.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/07/2006 -- ZOOtech, Inc., the interactive DVD technology pioneer, announced an agreement with Scholastic Media (SM) to use ZOOtech's DVD-EXTRA STUDIO system for SM's new interactive DVD titles, including Clifford Phonics and two games based on the popular I SPY series. Under this agreement, SM will utilize DVD-EXTRA STUDIO's proprietary technology that uses specific algorithms in innovative ways to create interactive DVDs.

"The fact that these DVD products can help children develop critical skills such as logic and problem-solving while playing in a non-linear environment is very exciting," said Alan Waldman, SVP and General Manager of Scholastic Media's Interactive Products Group. "DVD-EXTRA STUDIO helped us to bring some very compelling interactive DVD titles to the market with the kind of interactivity today's tech-savvy young people want most. It is like working with CD-ROM game play with all of the other interactivity benefits, yet on a DVD format that kids can play on their televisions."

ZOOtech Signs Agreement with Dicentia for DVD-EXTRA STUDIO

Sheffield, United Kingdom, June 11, 2007 - ZOOtech, the innovative solutions company revolutionizing the video title production industry, announced an agreement with Dicentia, Scandinavias leading all-inclusive supplier of digital media. Dicentia has licensed DVD-EXTRA STUDIO to develop a series of interactive games that will be distributed in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Germany.

The interactive DVD market in Scandinavia is growing rapidly and we feel that DVD-EXTRA STUDIO provides us with a competitive advantage to gain market leadership in this category. With DVD-EXTRA STUDIO, we have the unique ability to develop highly entertaining and complex games in a relatively short period of time through its automation of formerly manual processes. DVD- EXTRA STUDIO also provides tremendous efficiencies for localizing these games for each of our markets. Said Kasper Holme Johannesen, Dicentias Group Studio Manager.

Stephan Aubert, Vice President ZOOtech Sales EMEA said, We are very excited to have Dicentia license DVD-EXTRA STUDIO. They have a strong presence and reputation in the Scandinavian market and are the first organization in this area to work with DVD-EXTRA STUDIO. With DVD-EXTRA STUDIO, Dicentia now has the ability to develop highly interactive titles that play on standard, consumer DVD players. DVD-EXTRA STUDIO allows Dicentia to design and produce them quickly, reliably and cost-effectively

buyers must be a bit weary of this one,
a bunch recent contracts have not moved the price up much, looks like
the company has still not gained the investors trust,
will keep a watchful eye for the future

company using zootech software saved from going bust:
at the same time this could also lead to easier access to american markets
(this of course will enable zoo to recieve further revenues from future products)
