issued share capital of Promodus Limited ("Promodus"), its London-based 
marketing and communications subsidiary, to Stripe Marketing Limited ("Stripe 
Marketing").  The Company will retain a minority interest of 10% in Promodus 
following the sale.

Marketing, representing 8% of the issued share capital of Stripe Marketing, and 
the provision of design and office services to MKM for a limited period to a 
value of GBP32,620. Stripe Marketing is a recently established private company 
which has not yet filed any audited accounts.  According to the terms of the 
sale and purchase agreement, the sale will be completed two business days after 
the transfer to Stripe Marketing of 47.5% of the issued share capital of another 
company which is expected to be completed within the next two weeks. 
 
 
The last audited accounts of Promodus for the year ended 31 December 2007 
recorded a profit before tax of GBP125,902. However, the Promodus unaudited 
management accounts recorded a loss before tax in the fifteen months ended 31

MKM intends to retain its shareholdings in Promodus and Stripe Marketing as 
medium-term investments.The Company believes that this new structure will 
facilitate the further development of the Promodus business and will deliver a 
higher return to the Company than the existing ownership structure. It will also 
allow the management of MKM to focus more closely on its remaining UK business 
trading as The Leapfrog Group and Airport Angel.
