                  BKN announces new broadcasters on board for
                       its 'Zorro: Generation Z'(R) property


BKN is pleased to announce today that several additional broadcasters have
acquired the TV rights to its 'Zorro: Generation Z'(R) property.

Telecinco and Clan TV/TVE in Spain, POP Channel in the United Kingdom, ATV in
Hong Kong, Star TV in Greece, SABC in South Africa, Solimac in Malaysia and TV7
in Bulgaria, have all signed up for this animated series (26 x 22') aimed at
boys and girls aged 6 to 12.

These broadcasters join previously announced MBC and Falcon Films in UAE and
Middle East, Foxtel in Australia, Record TV in Brasil, Mediaset in Italy,
Telemundo in USA, CTC in Russia, TMC in Turkey and Faimead in Africa.

BKN has launched a full licensing program after appointing Gulliver for master
toy distribution and appointing a number of new licensing agents such as Black
and White in Greece, ITC in Brasil and Kidz Entertainment for Russia and Eastern
Europe with many more to be named prior to the New York Licensing Show in June,
where BKN is hosting an event on Tuesday, 10 June to introduce the brand to the
broader market.

BKN handles licensing in house via its in-house staffs in London and Barcelona,
where it has already named a number of licensees in key markets including as
examples Scalextric for racing cars in Spain, Gim for back to school in Greece
and KG Line for back to school in Brasil.

BKN is looking to appoint toy distributors in each country who will be able to
acquire the product from Gulliver FOB China (Gulliver holds Brasilian
distribution rights).
