KENT, OH--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 16, 2006 -- Fineline Holdings Inc. (Other OTC:FNLH.PK - News) announced today that it has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with a private European business group, Child Entertainment, for the use of six character groups for a $2.4 million up-front licensing fee and a 20% on-going royalty. Child Entertainment has the right to benefit from the use of these character groups in mobile content, TV, motion pictures, games, animation, merchandising and any other use that maintains Fineline's quality standards.

The licensed character groups are Internautes, Health Scare, Illegals, White Trash, Friendly Frights and Hogstturrs. The agreement is for a period of eight years with an option for the licensee to extend the agreement for an additional eight years. Child Entertainment will pay Fineline 20% of all gross revenues generated once cumulative gross revenues exceed US $2.4 million. The $2.4 million up-front license fee is non-refundable.

"With the payment of this license fee, we have no need for additional capital," said Robert Petry, Fineline Holdings CEO. "This is only the beginning. Our business generates very high margins and we have interest in our character groups in the areas of toys, motion pictures, TV shows, merchandising and mobile games. I am confident we will follow this win with additional licensing agreements."

Strategically, Fineline is focused on generating revenue from mass distribution of its proprietary character groups through mobile, television and/or motion picture agreements as a launching pad into additional lucrative licensing and merchandising. In the past, Fineline characters have been licensed for use with over 450 products in 20 countries. Licensees included household names such as Wendy's Hamburger, Thom McAn and Kellogg's.
