21 April 2008

                               RETEC DIGITAL PLC                               

                           ("Retec" or "the Group")                            

                      Development of movie download kiosk                      

Retec Digital Plc, the multi-channel marketing services company and one of the
UK's largest provider of guided selling solutions is pleased to announce that,
in conjunction with Galway-based media distributor Porto Media, it has
developed a new movie download kiosk, which allows customers to download DVD
quality movies to a flash memory ("Movie.Key") in less than 15 seconds (a rate
of 100Mbytes per second). 

The software developed for this kiosk enables the customer to select, preview
and pay for a specific title - giving them the option to pay for it either for
a set period of time or to own it outright.  The `Movie.Key' can then be
plugged into the USB port of a Set Top Box, computer or mobile screen for
flexible viewing on the go or at home. Retec's dynamic and intuitive user
interface is mapped to the specific profile of the customer, making it a truly
personalised and engaging experience.

The kiosks will initially be rolled out to retail outlets within Galway,
Ireland in 20 locations, with plans for further roll outs to retail chains
across the UK and Europe later in the year.

John Cole, CEO, stated: "This is a significant innovation that has taken the
industry by storm, and we are delighted to be working in conjunction with Porto
Media.  Once again this demonstrates the value of Retec's solutions for our
clients in providing an innovative and engaging customer experience.  We are
looking forward to continuing our relationship with Porto Media and rolling out
this solution to further retailers across the UK in the near future."
