ZOO Digital Group plc

("ZOO" or "The Group")

Trading Update and Directorate Change

ZOO Digital, the provider of software and software-led services for the filmed entertainment market, is pleased to provide shareholders with a trading update ahead of its audited full year results and to announce a change in the Chairmanship of the company.

The company expects to report turnover for the 12 months ended 31 March 2010 of circa $15m and EBITDA (excluding exchange losses) of circa $1.6m, both significantly ahead of market expectations and the prior year. The company expects to make an exceptional provision for the impairment of intangible assets of around $0.8m. In addition, the company expects to report a year-end cash position of $1.2m, which is significantly better than market expectations.

The company also announces that Dr Christopher Honeyborne has decided, in line with best practice, that he should stand down from the board after ten years as a non-executive Director of ZOO, during the last four years of which he has been Chairman. Following a thorough selection process ZOO is pleased to announce that Dr Honeyborne will be succeeded by Mr Roger Jeynes who has over 20 years experience in the technology sector, encompassing senior sales, marketing and general management roles in the UK, Italy and the USA with IBM, Pyramid Technology Inc., and EMC Corporation. His most recent executive position was Chief Operating Officer at technology merchant bank Interregnum Plc through which he worked on the boards of more than a dozen technology companies.

Disclosures required pursuant to Schedule 2(g) of the AIM Rules for Companies in respect of Roger Jeynes are set out below.

 

The change of chairman will take effect from 28 April 2010.

Stuart Green, CEO of ZOO, commented, "I am delighted with this performance in a very tough economic climate. Our ability to deliver outstanding quality software to reduce our clients' costs and time to market is more compelling than it has ever been. On behalf of the board I would like to thank Christopher for his excellent stewardship and wisdom over the last decade."

Christopher Honeyborne, Chairman of ZOO commented, "I am very pleased with the progress that ZOO has made and I leave confident that the company is well placed for continued, profitable expansion in the future."
