Press Release Body: “Mix Master” and “Psi-Kix” gaining popularity in key global
territories

Los Angeles, CA – September 17, 2007 – Popular online/trading card game, \"Mix
Master,\" which combines various themes such as combat and strategy along with
fantasy and adventure, has become a popular hit in Korea and Japan attracting gamers
of all ages by giving them the ability to immerse themselves in a fantasy world
where they can create, customize, and trade over 200 amazing creatures called Hench.

The unique quality of this TV animated show is that it offers strong personality and
comedy filled stories ‘mixed’ with all of the entertaining elements of an
online/trading card game.
“Mix Master” kicked off on Nicktoons (UK) earlier this summer and is currently being
broadcasted at 9:00 am on Mondays and Tuesdays. “Mix Master” was first launched show
in Nicktoons as a Korean original production.
Since its launch, it has achieved a 0.25 TVR, a 1.6% share, and ranks as the eighth
top show on the channel, reaching an average of 14,000 kids aged 4-15 each time it
is played. Mix Master has also kicked off on Kids Central, MediaCorp TV12 Singapore
and currently broadcasts at 10: 30 am on Saturdays, a golden time slot. Mix-Master
also has been sold in 23 countries including US.
Also, “Psi-Kix”, a full made-for-TV 3D animation action adventure series is set to
become a trendsetter for how other 3D animation projects will be produced, drawing
great interest from European and American broadcasters.

The series, developed and produced by DigitalTetra Inc. (DTI) in Korea, is made up
of 26 episodes, with each episode 22 minutes and 30 seconds long. Premiered first on
Korea’s terrestrial broadcaster MBC in December 2006, the TV rights for the series
have been sold to Malaysia to air on Radio Television Malaysia in June 2007.

“Psi-Kix” is targeted for children ages 7 to 13 and is a story about a reckless kid
who becomes a fine pilot. For this project, American writer and producers such as
Jeffery Scott, Walt Kubiak and Kent Butterworth were involved. It is not a typical
super hero story, but one of a reckless child named Jacques who becomes a confident
young pilot. The show is full of exaggerated facial expressions and cartoony actions
without the typical assortment of A/A characters.

For example, the cast of characters include a hippie styled character named Dr.
Grumm, a rapper called Hammer and other flamboyant characters that distinguish the
show from its contemporaries. Soft illumination effects on cartoon images also help
create a rich and warm presentation, adding more emotional appeal than other 3D
shows currently present in the market.
