Prime Focus London plc
(the "Company")
Final Results for the Year Ended 31 March 2013
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
This has been a year of transformation for the Company. It has
moved decisively away from the legacy of its past and has
implemented a series of restructuring measures over the year. At
the same time, the management structure has been simplified,
underperforming businesses have been closed, overheads have been
further reduced and the activities of each of the two key trading
divisions of Television Post Production and Television VFX have
been refocused and invigorated.
The key focus going forward continues to be the return to
overall profitability and the generation of cash and shareholder
value.
I would like to thank our clients, investors, vendors and most
of all our people for their trust, faith and belief in our company,
and I assure you all of our commitment to ensuring that Prime Focus
London plc is strongly positioned for the future.
Ramakrishnan Sankaranarayanan

BUSINESS REVIEW
This financial year was another challenging period for the
company.
As predicted in the previous year's accounts, trading remained
challenging in this financial year, and the company fought hard to
maintain market share.
However, the extensive restructuring which took place to
eliminate loss making activities, to reduce fixed costs and thereby
bring down the break even point, and in migrating fixed costs to
variable in order to be able to flex overheads in line with the
trading seasonality of the business have insulated the business
against the industry headwinds that have been well documented in
the trade press.
As a consequence the company generated an operating profit from
continuing operations before exceptional items of GBP0.478m
(previous year loss GBP1.541m).
Highlights for the year include:
Underlying Performance
-- Group revenues of GBP19.866m (2012: GBP31.230m)
-- Underlying operating profit from continuing operations before
exceptional items of GBP0.478m (2012: loss GBP1.541m)
-- Cash at GBP0.586m (2012: GBP1.228m)
-- Total liabilities have fallen by GBP14.244m to GBP21.430m (2012: GBP35.674m)
Statutory Performance
-- Profit before tax including discontinued operations of GBP0.072m (2012 Profit GBP0.984m)
-- Diluted loss per share 0.81p (2012: EPS 2.97p)
Business Overview
-- Closure of Meanwhile Limited in May 2012 and PF Broadcast and
Commercials Limited in February 2013.
-- Elimination of legacy balance sheet items.
-- Simplified management structure and reporting lines.
-- Further reduction in cost base across all units.
-- Content services - the archiving, restoration, duplication of
film material - has been re-aligned to come under the management of
the Broadcast Post Production business.
-- Nominated for an Emmy award for our TV VFX work.
-- Retention and building relationships with major clients in
Broadcast Post Production, Content Services and TV VFX.
Transformed, Energised and Stable
The Group has had a transformative year. It has been streamlined
into two core divisions of Broadcast Post Production and Television
VFX Services. Its core senior management has been reorganised to a
simpler, more effective structure with clear reporting lines in
order to deliver the focus and stability required to drive
profitability and shareholder value.

---------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- ------------------ -----------------
The company was heavily restructured during the year. Headcount
reduction linked to discontinued activities and general headcount
reduction has reduced staff numbers by about a third to 163 at July
2013 and has removed around GBP4m from the annualised run rate
overhead cost for salaries.
The company has coped well with the move to a new leaner
operating model and is now positioned to take advantage of new
opportunities for growth.
Going forward, there is a clear emphasis on the use of the most
sophisticated technology available to help to produce the best
quality of creative output, cash generation, growth and enhanced
overall performance.
Although market conditions remain challenging we believe that by
delivering solid organic development on a further reduced cost
base, the company can generate improved financial returns and take
advantage of wider opportunities in the future.
Broadcast Post Production
The aim of this division is to further exploit our skills at
post producing high quality programming in the documentary and
drama genres.
The retention and development of existing clients is a key
strategy. To enable us to achieve this we aim to retain and recruit
the highest calibre of employees by offering them the opportunity
to work on innovative projects and to expand their skills in key
niche sectors.
Seemingly unaffected by the restructure mentioned above, the
reputation of the Broadcast and Content Services teams has
continued to attract high profile work. The business was again
ranked in the top 10 facility houses in London by both creative and
capacity criteria.
The business has attracted some excellent new people, adding
grading, online and audio talent to our respected teams. This has
resulted in new clients being recruited as they follow their
favourite operators.
Following the success of our work on "Merlin" last year, the new
BBC One primetime Saturday drama "Atlantis" came straight to Prime
Focus Broadcast Limited and this adds another series to our
increasing drama slate for the Autumn period which includes
"Sherlock" (BBC One), "The Guilty" (ITV), and "Edge of Heaven"
(ITV).
As in previous years the company is a market leader in the UK
for programmes destined for broadcast in the US. Recent examples
include the highly acclaimed "The 80's: The Decade That Made Us",
"Paranormal Witness" and "Martin Luther King & the March on
Washington"; many of these programmes transmit on multiple
broadcasters around the world.
Our reputation for factual TV allows us to deliver hundreds of
programmes a year. Some examples include current affairs strand
"Dispatches"; arts programmes for Arena and the National Theatre;
returning series for "Island Parish", "Dara O'Briain's School of
Hard Sums" and "Great British Menu"; plus observational
documentaries like "Ultimate Airport" and "Midwives" to name a
few.
Our Content Services team have seen a surge in work as content
owners recognise the need to transfer their materials from legacy
formats to digital files. Work for the V&A, Imperial War
Museum, BFI, BBC, and the Associated Press has seen a need to grow
the capacity of the award-winning restoration and archive team. A
recent contract win, which is yet to be publicised, will provide us
with steady high profile work for at least three years from this
autumn.
Over the last year our new RAPTA service has been developed
further and is receiving industry wide acclaim. It is being used by
a variety of clients on set - helping transfer digital camera files
direct to post production in a secure and effective fashion. The
interest in this bespoke product has been immense and we are
looking to expand the outlets through which this can be provided
through contracted vendors. It highlights the ability of Prime
Focus Broadcast to take on and manage the most difficult workflows
that can arise, providing a key differentiator from our
competition.
Broadcast VFX
The Broadcast VFX business had a ground breaking 2012-13 working
on visual effects for channel driving shows across a variety of
genres.
Prime Focus Broadcast VFX was the lead VFX vendor on History
Channel's flagship primetime shows "Mankind", "The Story of Us" and
"World War II from Space" which received an Emmy nomination in the
Outstanding Graphic Design and Art Direction Category.
Additionally, the team worked on "Supersized Earth" for BBC One,
and provided over 100 minutes of CG comprising 600 shots delivered
for three primetime shows on two major networks. Also for the BBC
the company delivered 24 stereo VFX shots for the BBC's very first
long-form drama 3D stereoscopic production, "Mr Stink".
In addition, Prime Focus Broadcast VFX made strong headway into
live event VFX, creating 8 minutes of 16K-equivalent footage for
the permanent exhibit at the Perot Science and Natural History
Museum, Dallas, as well as 3D stereoscopic VFX for the "Doctor Who
Experience" at London's Olympia Two.
This has been a challenging journey since I took on the CEO role
in April 2012. The company now has a stronger balance sheet, and
the many talented individuals in each of the key businesses are
clearly focussed on delivering growth through the professionalism
of their endeavours and the application of their talent and
experience.
