Paynova´s Cooperation with CRD (Cyber Recreation District) is Being Marketed on Three Continents



    In October, CRD is beginning the international marketing of the
    company´s extensive development project, Cyber Recreation District.
    Paynova (NGM:PAY), the chosen supplier for the project´s payment
    services, has together with CRD presented the project, first at the
    Virtual Worlds Conference & Expo in San Jose and currently at the
    Virtual Worlds Forum Europe in London. Further marketing efforts in
    South Korea and China will be planned shortly.

    ONE OF THE WORLD´S GREATEST PROJECTS WITHIN VIRTUAL WORLDS

    CRD is commissioned by the Chinese Government to build an
    extensive virtual world & real world called Cyber Recreation District.
    The District aims, among other things, to create a virtual-real
    platform for e-commerce. CRD will, for example, be able to connect
    manufacturers in China with companies and people from the rest of the
    world. Moreover, the virtual world enables contacts to be established
    between non-Chinese companies and China´s fast-growing middle class.
    The first stages of the project are planned to go live during the
    third quarter of 2008.

    PAYNOVA CHOSEN SUPPLIER TO CRD

    The strategic cooperation agreement between Paynova and CRD was
    signed in December 2006. Mind Ark (the company behind the virtual
    world Entropia Universe, to which Paynova is a supplier) is the first
    virtual world which operates in CRD, while the payment services are
    supplied by Paynova.

    SHARED MARKETING EFFORTS

    The cooperation between Paynova and CRD is continuing to develop.
    As a next step, the implementation of Paynova´s solution is being
    planned, which will enable payments with 800 million Chinese bank
    cards and 30 million Chinese credit cards, both with payments in local
    currency.

    In parallel, CRD is following its extensive launch plan in which
    the current international marketing is an important part. When CRD and
    Paynova in October jointly presented the extensive project at the
    industry fair Virtual Worlds Conference & Expo in San Jose, the
    project attracted attention from international media. (See for example
    http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/10/14/ap4218134.html). The project
    has during the latest days been presented at the Virtual Worlds Forum
    Europe in London. Further marketing efforts in South Korea will be
    planned in the near future.
