               Update on the Earn-out on the sale of Casino.co.uk

The Board of Media Corp is pleased to announce that following the sale of
casino.co.uk in August 2007, the Group has exceeded the pre-agreed performance
targets as per the Asset Purchase Agreement with Gaming Portals Limited and will
receive a further £625,000 as part of the deferred consideration of the sale.

Justin Drummond, CEO of Media Corp. commented:

'Part of the sale obligation was to run the portal with the new vendor for a
period of six months post disposal and I am pleased to announce that we have
exceeded the pre-agreed revenue target by a significant margin.

The highly experienced team that managed Casino.co.uk will be focused on
developing the Group's non-gaming related portal assets in the coming months.

With the Group's existing significant cash resources, this deferred
consideration will help strengthen the objective of expanding our internet and
online advertising businesses further'.
