Press Release                                                   12 December 2007

                              Deal Group Media plc
                             ("DGM" or "the Group")

                                 Trading update


Deal Group Media plc (AIM: DGM), an independent online marketing group, is
pleased to give the following update on current trading on its operations.


The Board remains confident that the Group will return to profitability next
year and that the overseas business units will deliver positive cash flow within
the first half of 2008.


The Australian business has increased its sales with a client base of over 140
advertisers including many major international brands.  From the Group's base in
Singapore two distinct business units have been successfully launched. AKTIV
Group is an advertising network which aggregates and sells advertising inventory
from online publishers to agencies and advertisers.  AKTIV Group has already
secured several clients.  In addition, DGM has been launched in Singapore with a
multi-channel offering with a greater initial focus on search engine marketing.
Both businesses share a common client base.


The South African operation is now profitable, albeit at a low level.  In India,
DGM has launched a multi-channel offering to advertisers and agencies and is
already generating sales from rapidly increasing client list.  These offerings
include affiliate marketing, search engine, email marketing and technology
solutions.


Following an earlier announcement today the Group has disposed of a 51 per cent.
stake in its UK operations including the central technology team.  Trading in
the affiliate and search engine marketing remains profitable and has enjoyed a
recent upturn in customer acquisitions.  The sale of the majority stake will
reduce the Group's central operating costs and UK based overheads while enabling
our shareholders to benefit from any uplift in the value of the ongoing UK
operations.

Adrian Moss, CEO of DGM, commented: "We are very pleased with our progress in
the Asia Pacific region.  All overseas business units are building revenues as
well as establishing themselves as key players in their region. We remain
excited by the prospects and are looking to the future with confidence."
