AGM Statement

Orca Interactive Ltd 27 July 2005 For immediate release: Wednesday 27 July, 2005 ORCA INTERACTIVE LIMITED AGM trading update Orca Interactive (LSE: ORCA), a global market leader in developing applications for IPTV, announces at today's Annual General Meeting that trading for the first half of the year has been in line with management expectations. Strong growth in Orca's pipeline of opportunities was reported at the time of the Company's full year results announcement in February and this positive trend has continued throughout the first half of the year. For this reason, Orca remains confident that revenue expectations for the full year to December 2005 will be achieved. Since the start of the year there has been a notable increase in interest from operators in the North and South American markets. The Board of Orca has spent this time reviewing the emerging opportunity in the Americas and has now determined to commit extra resources to its partnership with Lucent to address this sizeable market prospect in order to increase customer deal flow. As a result, there will be some investment in sales and marketing and staff relocation to the US over the coming year, which is not expected to exceed $2m in the current financial year. The first customer deals to arise from this investment are expected to occur during 2006. Haggai Barel, CEO, commented, 'Historically, our focus has been on the rapidly growing European and Asian markets but as the opportunity in the Americas has emerged during 2005, so it has become increasingly important for us to build a presence there. Our partnership with Lucent provides us with a perfect opportunity to enter this market with maximum support and minimum risk.'
