Joint Venture To Provide Mobile Value-Added Services
The Board of Directors of mDR Limited (the "Company") wishes to announce that it has set up a joint venture in Singapore with Thai mobile software and information distribution specialist, Playwork Company Ltd.
The new joint venture company, Playwork Solutions Pte Ltd, will provide mobile value-added services initially in Singapore and subsequently other markets.
The Company will own 51% of the joint venture while Playwork Company Ltd of Thailand will hold the remaining stake. The joint venture will have an initial paid-up capital of $800,000.
Playwork Company Ltd, based in Bangkok, develops mobile software and information distribution systems and is a leading provider of mobile value-added services in Thailand.

Its partners include global content and software developers and mobile operators.
With the above joint venture in place, the Company's proposed 51% share acquisition in Em@gination Pte Ltd through the issue of 30,388,021 new ordinary shares, as announced by the Company on 28 January 2008, is no longer necessary and will not be proceeded with.
