Chairman's Statement

Introduction

For the six months ended 30 September 2011, Content Media Corporation plc reports an operating profit of GBP0.4 million (2010: GBP0.2 million). The normalised profit before interest, tax, depreciation, intangible library amortisation, share option expenses and exceptionals(1) was GBP0.8 million (2010: GBP0.7 million). The normalised profit before tax(1) was a profit of GBP0.2 million (2010: loss of GBP0.1 million). The loss before and after tax was GBP0.2 million (2010: GBP0.7 million).

The results for this half year are up on last year predominantly due to higher revenues and profits from Collins Avenue - the Group's factual television production company jointly owned with Jeff Collins - with all other divisions recording results similar to last year. The directors consider that these are solid results and demonstrate the ongoing stability of the Group's operations.

Results

Content Television

The television division has had a solid first half and the highlights have been:

-- Revenues were split GBP1.6m (2010: GBP2.6m) to the Fireworks library, GBP3.7m (2010: GBP2.6m) to newly acquired product and GBP2.0m (2010: GBP0.1m) to Collins Avenue. Newly acquired product is predominantly new television series and factual programming but also includes library acquisitions like Harmony Gold

-- The Fireworks library and the new drama library continue to sell broadly across a range of titles which includes our distribution of "The Emmys" and individual titles including "Heartland" and "Republic of Doyle"

-- Factual distribution has improved and now includes a number of awards shows alongside several natural history series like "Wild Wales" and "Secret Lives of Birds" and historical series including "Secrets of War"

-- In relation to the Group's third party managed libraries, the Harmony Gold library continues to sell well and we have also begun distributing another large episodic library series, "Highway to Heaven" starring Michael Landon

-- The digital division continues to achieve pleasing results and is leading the market in the distribution of titles made for multi-platform programming, including those we distribute from our Vuguru output deal. Alongside sales of this library, the division is having great success in exploiting our whole library across the expanding digital platforms and representing other libraries in the digital space

-- Collins Avenue has traded well in the first half of the year. Over the recent period, it has received orders for over 50 hours of programming and its show "Dance Moms" is a hit for Lifetime.

-- Overheads have increased due to higher overheads in Collins Avenue with other overheads in the divisions remaining stable

-- Taking account of all the above, the effect is that revenues have increased significantly whilst profits have increased marginally due to the fact that Collins Avenue has lower margins

Management are cautiously optimistic that the outlook for the division into the second half half of the year continues to be solid:

-- We have a degree of known library revenue that will be recognized in the second half

-- Most of our drama series will be delivered in the second half including the fifth season of "Heartland" and third season of "Republic of Doyle", together with the third season of BBC children's series "Young Dracula"

-- Results from our factual distribution division have been improving which we believe will continue into the second half of the year

-- Our digital sub-division continues to be a market leader in the distribution of multi-platform programming for leading producers in this area. We are taking delivery of several digital shows including "The Millionaire Tour" and "Strictly Sexual". Additionally, within the digital and television divisions, we have also branched out into new live event shows such as the mixed martial arts event "BAMMA"

-- The outlook for Collins Avenue is positive with an increasing amount of production activity being undertaken in the second half based upon known broadcast commissions. The Company is expected to continue to grow over the coming period.

-- We recently closed a deal to expand our operations into West England and Wales, through a jointly owned company called Content West to be run by previous BBC executive Tim Morley. Initial results from this business have been encouraging with several new projects having been acquired and others being developed positively

-- Spirit digital media is performing in line with expectations and has been achieving promising levels of initial revenue without breaking out as yet. Nevertheless the trajectory is positive and we continue to believe this business has strong future prospects.

Content Film

The film division has had a similar result this first half compared to last year, the key features to note are:

-- Revenues from our new films have been low and most of the revenues and profits relate to the feature film library

-- The film library continues to grow - it now numbers over 220 feature film tiles - and the revenues from this library are providing a solid base of regular revenue and cash flow for the division

-- Overhead remains steady and the division continues to run a low risk strategy in terms of product acquisition

We expect the division to continue to achieve positive results for the full year:

-- We have several titles currently in delivery including "Outpost 2: Black Sun", "The Day", "Hick" and "The Pact", the latter title having been selected for the Sundance Film Festival

-- Based on known contractual sales, these new titles will deliver higher revenues this year versus last year, albeit at lower margin levels

-- The opportunity to acquire finished films of value continues to be strong and the LA presence significantly aids this process, recent acquisitions include "Lovely Molly" and "96 Minutes"

-- Looking into next year, we have recently closed the financing on "The Numbers Station" starring John Cusack which began filming recently and will be delivered next year. Additionally, we are working on the financing for several other higher profile films to be delivered in FY13

DVD Division: Allumination Filmworks and Phase 4

Our Allumination library continues to deliver profits, albeit that the level of revenues and general activity in the library is tailing off.

The Group continues to hold a stake in the North American film distribution company, Phase 4 Films ("Phase 4"). We do not consolidate the results of Phase 4 as we do not exert significant influence over the operations of the company. Further, we value our investment in Phase 4 at cost as it is not possible to accurately calculate a fair value for the company given that it is a relatively young company and is privately held.

We have been pleased with Phase 4's development across North America and we believe it is becoming a more powerful player in its market, notwithstanding the challenges in the home entertainment space.

Phase 4 is also experiencing an improvement in its video on demand, digital and television revenues as it builds out its business in this growing part of the market.

Overhead

Group overhead has increased marginally due to the increased overhead of Collins Avenue, whilst all other corporate and general overhead has remained stable.

Trading Outlook

Recent Fireworks library sales have been pleasing and we will take delivery of our main television series in the second half with pleasing levels of sales already contracted. Our digital division will also have a much stronger second half based on known contracted sales. The results for the film division this year will be heavily dependent on the timing of the sales of our films at upcoming markets but a stable result is expected. Collins Avenue will grow strongly in the second half based on known production commissions which will drive revenue growth, albeit at lower margins. Taken as a whole, we expect another solid full year result.

Against these satisfying expectations, it is increasingly difficult to predict the macro-economic climate - particularly across Europe - and its possible effect on the Company. If the general economic outlook does deteriorate further, it will possibly have an effect on our expected results, given our trading across European media markets.

Debt, Cash Flow and Liquidity

The Group's senior loan facility is managed by its long term banker JPMorgan Chase Bank, the world's largest media bank. Other banks included in our syndicate include Bank of America, IDB Bank and Manufacturers Bank. The Group has a $US 45m five year revolving loan facility in place that commenced in July 2008.

The loan under the facility at 30 September 2011 was GBP19.8m (2010: GBP20.8m) before capitalised financing costs of GBP500,000 (2010: GBP680,000). Taking account of cash on hand, net debt was GBP19.2m (2010: GBP20.3m). We hold our loan in $US dollars and the balance of our loan in US dollars was $32.3m (2010: $32.7m).

The Group's working capital availability under its revolving loan facility is stable. Based on current internal forecasts for a period in excess of 12 months, we expect to continue to have ongoing availability under the facility to provide adequate working capital for the Group to execute its strategy including product acquisitions.

Interest expenses have fallen in this half year compared to last year and are projected to continue to fall in the remainder of this financial year. In particular, a fixed interest rate swap has recently expired which had an interest rate above recent floating rates and our cash interest expense will be lower as a result, given current interest rates.

Carried Forward Tax Losses

The Company has not recorded a tax charge due to its significant carried forward tax losses in both the UK and the US. As at 31 March 2011, the Group's carried forward tax losses are estimated at GBP47 million.

Conclusion

The first half of our current financial year has been satisfactory and stable. We expect a stronger second half based on our current visibility and look forward to a solid full year result.
