                              Motion Media PLC
                      ("Motion Media" or "the Company")
                                      
                                      
                      Motion Media establishes US base


Motion Media, announces that it has signed a Letter of Intent to purchase
certain assets of C-Phone Corporation, a Nasdaq listed company for a total
consideration of up to $1.0 million.

The purchase is subject to contract and the approval of C-Phone shareholders.
Under  the  proposed terms of the deal the Company's recently formed,  wholly
owned   subsidiary,  Motion  Media  Technology  Inc.  will  acquire   certain
inventory,  fixed  assets  and  Intellectual Property  Rights  from  C-Phone.
Motion  Media  anticipates that it will take over the lease on  the  premises
occupied  by  C-Phone and will offer employment contracts to  key  employees,
thereby establishing Motion Media's presence in the US

C-Phone  is  a  provider of video communications technology and  products  to
general  business,  security, education and healthcare  markets  in  the  US.
Following completion of the transaction C-Phone's products will be re-branded
and added to the existing Motion Media product portfolio.

Of  major  importance to Motion Media, is C-Phone's existing and new products
based  on  POTS (plain old telephone system) technology, which  enables  the
transfer  of video images over standard analogue telephone lines. POTS  based
products  are of great interest within the Telehealth market, one  of  Motion
Media's  key  business areas, as higher bandwidth ISDN and IP  networks  are
generally  less  commonplace in this market. POTS based  products  also  have
applications in the security surveillance marketplace.

Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, Motion Media has purchased certain
component stocks and will licence technology from C-Phone.  The cost of these
items will be deducted from the $1 million total purchase price.  The Company
anticipates that the deal will be completed by not later than 30  June  2001.
In  the interim, Motion Media will be working closely with C-Phone to develop
products for both existing and new customers of both parties.

Ken  Burgin,  MD  of  Motion  Media said:    "This  is  an  extremely 
exciting opportunity  for Motion Media. Not only will it gives us an
operational  base within the US but with the POTS products and technology, it
will broaden our existing  products and services portfolio. This will enable
us  to  introduce the undoubted benefits of video communications to a far
wider audience."
