Press Release                                                       25 July 2007


                                BKN New Media Ltd
                            ("BKN" or the "Company")
                                        
                    BKN announces launch of new all digital, high definition 
                            animation studio facility
                                         
           Stone Age is the first announced project for 2008 delivery

                                  
BKN, a media and entertainment company specialising in the children's market, 
announced today that is creating a new facility capable of producing high 
quality animation in digital high definition. The operation will consist of a 
fixed capital investment in high quality hardware and software to produce two 
26-part series annually. The creative and production staff will undertake 
extensive training in the adaptation of technology compared to the traditional 
style of hand-drawn animation.

The Company believes that the market is rapidly moving away from analogue or 
standard definition to digital and high definition for news, sports and films 
and that the animation market will need to follow in a meaningful way in the 
next 12-24 months.

BKN intends to become a leader in providing terrestrial, cable, broadband and 
satellite broadcasters and DVD distributors with high definition series or films 
beginning in late 2008. High definition product will also allow BKN to expand 
more rapidly on the internet via digital downloads.

"The market is moving quickly" states Allen Bohbot, BKN CEO, "and several of our 
competitors have either chosen not to invest in this state of the art technology 
or are financially not able to. BKN is willing and able and will take an 
aggressive role in this area."

Stone Age, a new comedy based project consisting of 26 half hour episodes plus 
an 80 minute film, will be the first project in the new style. The project, 
created by Rick Ungar for BKN, is due to be delivered in late 2008.

In commenting on the new series, Ungar stated, "We are taking kids from today's
world, along with their modern day interests, high tech accessories and love for
music, and interpreting them as kids living during the Stone Age. I can tell you
that when your IPOD is a rock containing a bird with a very good memory; your
electric guitar is plugged into an amplifier that is actually a Platypus with a
very big mouth; and wearing 'Crocs' takes on an entirely new meaning, it starts
to get pretty funny."
