November 2, 2006

Floodgate Entertainment today announced a worldwide co-publishing agreement through which SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT will work with wireless carriers around the globe to distribute Mo-Pets^TM to mobile devices. Additional terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

"We've had a great time creating Mo-Pets^TM" said Paul Neurath, Creative Director of Floodgate Entertainment. "We weren't sure if we could make a game where the player would fall in love with a virtual ferret. I actually think we pulled it off."

"We're pleased to help introduce this exciting new mobile game," commented Thomas Hesse, President, Global Digital Business, SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. "We look forward to working with Floodgate as we continue build on the success of our artist-centered mobile games, master ringtones, full-length tracks and other mobile offerings."

About Mo-Pets^TM

Only your pet truly understands you. Now, thanks to SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT and Floodgate, you can carry that understanding with you everywhere you go. The new mobile game Mo-Pets^TM lets users adopt a young, impressionable cat, dog, ferret or monkey, teach them tricks, take them through mini-games and compete in judged talent shows with other proud Mo-Pet^TM owners.

Game users start in the Mo-Pets^TM home, where they can scratch their Mo-Pet^TM and reward her with snacks. Players can also teach their little friends unique tricks and play minigames to increase their pet's skills.

Mo-Pets^TM can also travel to the Park or the Obstacle Course for some fresh air, and to the Mo-Pets^TM Talent Show where they can compete with other Mo-Pet^TM owners in a judged competition of pet prowess. Players begin by competing against people in their region, and then work up to competing against top Mo-Pets^TM users on the national level.
