WINDSOR, England, April 23, 2010 - ZBD, the epaper for retail specialist, has announced a strategic
partnership with ILID Pty Ltd, the Australian ESL (electronic shelf labels)
market leader that will see elements of both companies' retail display
solutions combined to deliver an innovative solution powered by the ZBD
Bounce RF communication system and data management applications.

The new solution integrates ILID's segment displays with ZBD's Bounce RF
architecture, adding a low-cost segment display to ZBD's portfolio of epaper
products. Using Bounce as the platform to drive both segment displays and
epaper displays, retailers will be able to operate a mixed estate of
displays. The move will enable both companies to target previously untouched
markets, capitalising on the new solution's low touch infrastructure combined
with the lowest cost ESL solution in the market today.

Shaun Gray, CEO, said, "Our two companies have been working together for
sometime to deliver a solution that brings together ZBD's unique low touch
infrastructure, ZBD's market-leading bistable dot matrix display and ILID's
segment display. The market is already familiar with each technology and they
understand the respective benefits. Our combined solution is, we believe, the
most cost-effective technology available, which we know will appeal to
markets previously unable to invest in ESL technology. This will be
particularly attractive to those clients gradually migrating from segment
displays, offering them a non-intrusive migration path"

Commenting on the venture, Jeff Lord, Director at ILID Pty Ltd and
Chairman of the ILID parent company, the ASX-listed, UXC Ltd, said, "We know
that there is huge potential for our combined solution worldwide. With ZBD's
minimal infrastructure requirements, and our cost-effective segment displays,
it's a winning combination."

ZBD and ILID will deliver the first installations of the combined
solution in Q3 2010. The venture will see the two companies working together
to sell ZBD's solution within territories previously untouched by ZBD,
including the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific regions.
