    Press Release

14 August 2007

                               RETEC DIGITAL PLC                               

                           ("Retec" or "the Group")                            

           More Argos kiosks to be rolled out across existing stores           

Retec Digital PLC, the Guided Selling specialist, is pleased to announce that
in connection with an Agreement entered into between Retec Interface Limited
and IBM UK Limited it will be embarking on a significant further roll out of
kiosks across the Argos estate.

To date, Retec has deployed a significant number of kiosks using IBM technology
across the Argos estate during the financial year to 30 June 2007. The new
order, the largest to date, is a further endorsement from Argos of the success
of the kiosk in its retail estate.

The roll out of additional kiosks will further enhance the in-store experience
for Argos customers by allowing them to select and pay for products, saving
time and negating the need to queue.

Argos, which remains at the forefront of self-service solutions, continues to
strengthen its position, by increasing the number of self-service terminals due
to the major success, availability, uptime and usage of the current kiosks.

John Cole, Chief Executive of Retec, stated:

"This is a substantial order for Retec, building on the success of our initial
rollout of Argos kiosks, and demonstrating the continuing strength of our
relationships with Argos and IBM. It is pleasing to see a further example of
Retec's solutions continuing to generate great value for retailers."
