                               Sagentia Group AG


Sagentia Group AG ('Sagentia'), the international technology consulting and
venturing organisation, is pleased to announce the sale of its shareholding in
spin-out venture, Intrasonics Limited, to Mainframe Participaties B.V.
('Mainframe Participaties') for an initial cash consideration of �1.46m. Further
payments, up to a maximum of �4.50m, could be received over the coming years
depending on performance.


Intrasonics Ltd ('Intrasonics') is an interactive media services company which
provides a completely new way of directly connecting broadcast media to mobile
networks using data embedded in sound. Intrasonics' patented 'Sound Link and
Sync' system addresses a number of applications including interactive gaming and
advertising.


Martin Frost, CEO of Sagentia Group AG, commented:


"I am pleased that, in Mainframe Participaties, we have found an organisation
capable of quickly building channels to market for the Intrasonics technology,
which has been developed at Sagentia by a team led by Rob Morland, CEO of
Intrasonics. I wish Mainframe Participaties , Rob Morland and the team every
success in the future".


The sale of Intrasonics represents an important milestone in the strategy for
the Group outlined earlier in the year. The strategy over the last 12 months has
focused on returning the consulting business to profitability and growth,
building the technology licensing and product royalty side of the business while
at the same time seeking to trade out of the current venture capital portfolio.
Fee income order intake into the consulting business for 2007 is expected to
exceed �17.7m, more than 10% ahead of 2006 (�15.9m), and the business is now
trading profitability on a quarter by quarter basis.
