March 31 - ROO Group to Report Fourth Quarter and Year End 2007 Results on March 31, 2008

Company Announces Conversion of Existing Super-Voting Preferred Shares and Elimination of Preferred Share Class

Company Enters Definitive Share Purchase Agreements to Acquire Shares of Subsidiary Sputnik Agency

Company to be Renamed 'KIT Digital'
ROO Group, including re-naming the Company to 'KIT Digital, Inc.'.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, revenue was $3.9 million, compared to $3.75 million in the prior year period.

The net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 was $12.5 million, or $0.32 per On March 30, 2008, ROO Group reached negotiated settlements with Robert Petty and Robin Smyth, restructuring their respective employment agreements, each of which involved one-time cash severance payments. In exchange for entering into new below-market, "at will" employment agreements, Messrs. Petty and Smyth will receive upfront cash settlements of $675,000 and $275,000 respectively, as well as an aggregate of 8.65 million fully vested warrants to purchase ROO common stock, at a strike price equal to $0.133 per share (representing the 3-day weighted average of closing price of ROO common stock prior to and including March 28, 2008). These warrants will become exercisable in 1/12 increments on a monthly basis starting six months from now. Mr. Smyth's restructured employment agreement involves certain cash and warrant-based incentives which can be earned-in over a period of 3 years based on ongoing service to the Company. As part of their respective settlements, Messrs. Petty and Smyth agreed to vote their preferred shares according to the Company's designation. Together with certain preferred shares beneficially voted by the Company on March 30, 2008, these preferred shares - which represented a voting majority of all aggregate share classes - voted for a statutory conversion of all outstanding preferred shares (10 million in total) into an aggregate of 400,000 common shares. The preferred shares also voted for the subsequent extinguishment of the entire class of preferred shares, such that no preferred shares may be issued by the Company in the future, and for the renaming of the Corporation to "KIT Digital, Inc." These decisions will be perfected twenty days after a definitive information statement has been sent to all of the Company's shareholders.

"ROO Group has long suffered from the overhang of a 'blank-check' preferred share class," commented Isaza Tuzman. "While management originally came forward with a plan to eliminate the preferred shares through a 1-to-3.2 conversion ratio into common shares, it became clear over the last several weeks that this plan was unacceptable to common shareholders. We see the net outcome of the settlements reached as being materially positive for common shareholders-involving less than one-third of the pro forma dilution as the previously proposed 1-to-3.2 conversion alternative. More importantly, with only one class of stock, all shareholders are now on a level playing field, and investors can value ROO transparently and on an apples-to-apples basis versus others companies in our sector-a comparison that we think will prove favorable. We appreciate the flexibility shown by Messrs. Petty and Smyth in arriving at this point."

March 24, 2008--Purple Beverage Company, Inc. (OTCBB: PPBV), maker of the all-natural antioxidant-rich beverage, Purple, today announced that Keith Riley, former National Director of On-Premise for Red Bull® North America, Inc., has joined the company to launch its on-premise marketing campaign in restaurants, bars, hotels, lounges and nightclubs nationwide.

“Having been responsible for 18% of the total U.S. business and achieving an average growth rate of 30% a year for Red Bull®, Keith is an industry pro whom we are thrilled to have on our team,” said Purple Beverage Company Founder and CEO Ted Farnsworth. “As one of the founders of the U.S. on-premise strategy for Red Bull®, he practically wrote the book on how to develop and execute a successful on-premise marketing approach, opening up the bar and nightclub industry to branded cocktail mixers.”

Riley, who was also instrumental in developing worldwide execution programs and standards for the company, is a perfect fit for Purple Beverage Company, whose signature beverage, Purple, is quickly earning a rapidly-growing fan base from New York to Los Angeles.

“Purple is one of the hottest brands going right now, and is already showing signs of being to the healthful beverage industry what Red Bull® is to the energy drink sector,” said Riley. “The product is perfectly suited for the on-premise market,” added Riley. “Not only does it mix well with a variety of spirits, but it also provides the added benefit of an antioxidant punch in every cocktail and can even point to scientific research to back that up.”

Riley is referring to a study from the United States Department of Agriculture and a study at Kasetsart University in Thailand that indicated that adding alcohol to antioxidant-rich berries increases their antioxidant power. This fact is helping Purple to become one of the hottest cocktail trends in nightclubs and lounges.

During his tenure with Red Bull®, Riley managed national accounts and co-managed expansion from 10 to 50 states. Previously, while working for Bacardi® USA, he managed the company’s Promotional Marketing team and was responsible for all on-premise promotions for the brand in the San Francisco Bay area.

“From the very beginning, we knew that our product belonged in both off- and on-premise locales,” said Farnsworth. “With Keith pushing our premium brand to restaurants, bars, hotels, lounges and nightclubs, we look forward to creating the next national cocktail craze.”

Purple is a unique and tasty blend of seven of the world’s most powerful antioxidant-rich juices, including the exotic açai berry, black cherry, pomegranate, black currant, purple plum, cranberry and blueberry. The health benefits of these juices are packed into an all-natural, no-sugar added beverage that is perfect as an on-the-go drink, part of a healthy fruit smoothie or mixed with your favorite spirit. Since debuting in 2007, Purple has been praised by such high-profile publications as Health Magazine and Family Circle and has appeared on ABC-TV’s “The View.”

Purple can be found in select GNC stores across the country, as well as in restaurants, bars, nightclubs, delis, drug stores, health food stores, supermarkets and convenience stores. For more information, visit www.drinkpurple.com.

Magellan Energy Ltd. (Pink Sheets: MGLG) (December 19, 2007, 8:30am ET) Magellan Energy Ltd., an independent oil and gas company, announced today that it is selling natural gas from wells on the Thomas D. Martin project in Morgan County, Tennessee in which it holds a 20% working interest. The operators for these wells, TMD Energy Inc., stated that the Citizens Gas Utility District have recently reconfigured the gas pipelines to allow gas from the wells to enter its system. A compressor has also been installed to increase production volume.

Magellan Energy is pleased to announce that the Martin lease is a mature producing oil and gas property that is being prepared for waterflooding. This ongoing project with TMD Energy Inc. will take some time to complete but with the newly installed compressor we will have increased gas production and revenue for Magellan Energy Ltd. The water flood project must still be subject to further research, geological surveys and studies to be properly executed. Until such time is determined, the wells will continue to operate at their new capacity, generating revenue with the new lines.

Magellan Energy's President, Mr. Akrivos, said, "We are very pleased at the progress that has been made up to date on the Martin project which will take some time to properly execute. TMD Energy Inc. has done an excellent job ensuring the wells maintain production and we are extremely happy to be working with them. This is our company's second successful project in Tennessee, thus establishing Magellan as a reputable, revenue-producing company in the oil and gas industry. In addition, we are in the final stages of developing a third project in Tennessee, which will be announced in the near future."

About Magellan Energy: Magellan Energy is a publicly traded independent oil and gas company. The company is actively acquiring oil and gas leases, producing properties, mineral rights, and surface interests in Tennessee and Oklahoma. Once acquired, the company intends to develop each property to maximize the income from each property by re-establishing production, refurbishing and improving the existing production and operations.

Deep Down, Inc. (OTCBB: DPDW) (December 19, 2007, 12:24pm ET) Deep Down, Inc. announced that it has signed a definitive purchase agreement to purchase Mako Technologies, Inc. ("Mako"). Headquartered in Morgan City, Louisiana, Mako serves the growing offshore petroleum and marine industries with technical support services, and products vital to offshore petroleum production, through rentals of its remotely operated vehicles (ROV), topside and subsea equipment, and diving support systems used in diving operations, maintenance and repair operations, offshore construction, and environmental/marine surveys.

"The total cost of acquiring Mako is a maximum of $5.0 million in cash and 11,269,841 shares of common stock of Deep Down based on Mako management's expectation of $2,400,000 in earnings before depreciation, interest, amortization, taxes and other non-cash charges ("EBITDA"), after also adjusting for certain non-recurring expenses, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. As part of this acquisition, Deep Down will also pay off approximately $800,000 in Mako bank debt. The first installment of $2,916,667 in cash and 6,574,074 shares of common stock of Deep Down is expected to be paid at closing within the next few days, and the balance of up to $2,083,333 in cash and 4,695,767 shares of common stock of Deep Down will be paid upon completion of an audit to verify adjusted EBITDA expectations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007," commented Robert E. Chamberlain, Jr., Deep Down's Chairman.

"We are very pleased to have signed the acquisition agreement with Mako, and believe this non-dilutive transaction is extremely beneficial for Deep Down and our shareholders as we continue to add products and services to our portfolio of capabilities," commented Ron E. Smith, Deep Down's President and CEO. "We believe we can significantly enhance Mako's current annual revenue base of approximately $6.8 million by expanding the equipment rental pool and ROV fleet."

"An expansion of the ROV fleet can yield benefits beyond increased rental income, including increased service revenue from two and three man ROV operating crews and the opportunity to sell additional launch and retrieval systems ("LARS"). Prospect Capital Corporation is providing $6,000,000 in debt to fund the cash requirements and expenses associated with this transaction. Terms are substantially the same as those in the initial borrowing that was concluded in August 2007," said Eugene L. Butler, Deep Down's CFO.

"With Deep Down's relationships and access to capital, we foresee the ability to expand our ROV fleet and take advantage of our customers' growing need for both planned and "emergency" offshore rental equipment in support of their growing level of oil and gas exploration occurring in the Gulf of Mexico. We also plan to expand our operations internationally," commented Jacob Marcell, Mako Technologies' chief executive officer.

Mr. Isaza Tuzman will succeed Robert Petty, who will retain the office of Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors and Founder.

Mr. Isaza Tuzman, 36, is currently the President and Chief Operating Officer of JumpTV Inc. (TSX, AIM: JTV) where he is responsible for managing the Company's day-to-day operations including global business development, sales, marketing, network operations and product development. As previously announced, he will be stepping down from his operating position at JumpTV on or before January 8th, 2008, but will remain on the board of that company.

ROO also announced that four independent members of the company's board of directors -- Simon Bax, Stephen Palley, Scott Ackerman and Doug Chertok -- have resigned. The Company's Board of Directors is expected to appoint Isaza Tuzman as a Director and the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Upon Mr. Isaza Tuzman's appointment, the Board will consist of three directors which will include current board members Robert Petty and Robin Smyth, Executive Director. In accordance with the terms of an Executive Management Agreement, Isaza Tuzman will have the right to appoint up to four new independent board members to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors, subject to shareholder approval.

Mr. Isaza Tuzman has been brought on to rationalize the existing business and position ROO to become the leader in IPTV infrastructure services-through both organic growth and strategic acquisition. The company is already one of the leading distribution platforms in the online media space and is the premier solution for IP-based Video-on-Demand.

He has a proven record of helping companies achieve their fullest potential and we are confident that his deep knowledge of our sector, operational discipline and leadership skills will enable us to generate value for our shareholders."

Mr. Isaza Tuzman stated, "ROO is at an inflection point in its development. The massive growth in the demand for high-value, IP video content, coupled with the need for leading edge platform provisioning puts this company in a very enviable position. I believe that with greater emphasis on exclusive content, TV broadcaster relationships and the best quality distribution tools, ROO will become the leading player in the provisioning of video over the Internet. In my view, a focused B2B strategy is what is needed to build a profitable company in the sector. ROO's commitment to this path -- coupled with our shared vision of potential industry consolidation -- has been critical to my decision to invest in and manage the company."

As part of the strategic realignment, ROO also announced today that it has completed a recent reduction of 21% of its workforce. This decision reflects the substantial completion of ROO's platform and automated distribution tools, which have made the company more efficient and reduced staffing needs.

"ROO has now entered a new phase of development," said Robert Petty, Chairman of ROO. "We have substantially automated our operations, allowing us to function as a leaner, more effective company."

Mr. Petty concluded, "I would like to thank our independent board members for their contributions to our organization. As a result of their guidance, we are now a stronger, more efficient company."

As part of the Executive Management Agreement, KIT Capital Ltd., an entity controlled by Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, has been granted the right to purchase up to 51% of the preferred class of shares in the Company at US$0.38 per share. KIT Capital has the option to invest up to US$5 million in common shares of the Company at US$0.16 per share, a 15% premium to the closing price yesterday, December 18th, 2007.
