Chairman's and CEO's Statement

Pilat Media is pleased to announce its Q1 results for the three months ended 31 March 2013.

Revenues in Q1 2013 increased by 15% compared with Q1 2012 as a result of new projects from this and last year starting to make their contribution, adding revenues to those generated by continuing projects and recurring maintenance income. The Group continues to make good progress and is reaching the final stages on a number of new implementations. The Board is very pleased to report that Prime Television in Australia went live in March 2013.

Cash has continued to grow strongly both from the completion of milestones on implementation projects and from existing clients where additional services and licences have been sold. The Board expects cash to continue to increase throughout 2013.

The healthy pipeline of new opportunities reported in the 2012 is starting to bear fruits and two of these have recently converted into contracts that together are expected to contribute nearly GBP9 million to the Company's revenues in 2013 and 2014. On 5 April 2013 Pilat Media announced the signing of a contract with Starz, a US leading provider of premium pay TV content and services. A scoping and analysis phase commenced in April and subject to its successful completion Starz will be licensing and implementing the Group's IBMS software to replace a number of legacy systems in the areas of content and rights management, linear and on demand programming, media preparation down to transmission scheduling across all their channels and VOD services. Last week the Company also announced the signing of a contract with the Seven Network ("Seven"), Australia's largest free to air television network. Seven is licensing the full suite of IBMS modules, and will be implementing the system across its entire TV business operations as its main end-to-end business management system covering content and rights management, channel and on-demand programme scheduling, media trafficking and advertising sales and billing.

In February 2013 the Company announced that it had acquired SimpleStream Limited's 40% holding in OTTilus and that in addition to the initial investment of GBP250,000, the Group had paid a further GBP185,000 on its acceptance of the software. The Company has continued to enhance the software and has already demonstrated it at a number of trade shows where it has been well received. Commercial availability is expected to be reached within a few months.

Results

First quarter revenues in 2013 were 15% higher than the equivalent period last year at GBP5,824,000 (Q1 2012: GBP5,053,000). The quarter benefited from the increased demand from the existing client base, continued progress on the current implementations and paid for scoping and analysis studies commissioned by a number of prospects.

Maintenance revenues increased by 15.9% to GBP1,563,000 (Q1 2012: GBP1,349,000) as more clients progressed from implementation to maintenance mode during 2012 and in Q1 2013. Q1 2013 maintenance also included an amount paid for back dated maintenance of GBP50,000 which distorted the comparison. Licence revenues in Q1 2013 increased by 34.4% to GBP516,000 (Q1 2012: GBP384,000) as a result of new IBMS-Rights and one license extension sold during the quarter in addition to the proportion of licence fees recognised as part of the progression of the large ongoing implementation projects.

The Q1 2013 revenues for implementation services (customisation, integration, training and consulting fees) grew by 12.8% to GBP3,745,000 (Q1 2012: GBP3,320,000). These services were mostly provided to existing clients and continue to show the high new business potential that exists within the Company's installed client base. Approximately 10% of the implementation services revenue came from scoping and analysis studies paid for by new prospects.

The quarter's gross margin increased to 48.2% (Q1 2012: 45.3%). The gross profit in the first quarter was GBP2,804,000 (Q1 2012: GBP2,293,000) and over the remaining nine months of 2013, as new contracts are signed, the Board expects margins to increase and the annual average to be in line with the 2012 average of approximately 52%.

The Company enlarged its R&D team and increased its investment in product improvements and enhancements to meet the demands of clients and prospects. The research and development expenditure in the first quarter grew by 47.6%, to GBP1,213,000 (Q1 2012: GBP822,000).

Sales and marketing costs in Q1 2013 were also higher at GBP354,000 (Q1 2012: GBP211,000) as the Company increased its sales force and more of the sales opportunities were overseas, resulting in higher travel costs.

General and administrative costs were only 3.4% higher than in Q1 last year, at GBP1,010,000 (Q1 2012: GBP977,000) and the slight increase was primarily caused by the weakening of sterling so that overseas costs were higher in sterling terms.

The impact of sterling weakening has been offset by the exchange gains of GBP84,000 in Q1 2013 compared to the currency loss of GBP71,000 in the equivalent period last year. The foreign currency loans that the Company put in place have had the desired impact of significantly moderating the fluctuations caused by exchange rate movements. Therefore there was a reduced requirement for large forward contract hedges and consequently the fair value adjustments and foreign exchange movements on derivative financial instruments (Q1 2013 a loss of GBP5,000; Q1 2012 a gain of GBP67,000) were much reduced from those of previous years.

The operating profit before amortisation was GBP311,000 (2012: GBP212,000), only GBP99,000 higher as most of the increase in gross profit was offset by the additional spend on sales and marketing and research and development. There is a small profit of GBP45,000 after amortisation, which relates to the acquisition in 2006 of Media Line and the capitalisation of the R&D investment in technology upgrade back in 2008 (Q1 2012: loss GBP54,000). There is only a small impact from the fair value, foreign exchange movements and net finance income resulting in a small profit before tax in Q1, quite typical if not better than first quarters of previous years.

Statement of Financial Position

As noted earlier in this statement, in February 2013 the Group acquired the remaining shares in OTTilus and during the quarter took delivery of the OTT ("Over The Top") software. As a result it has now capitalised into intangible assets the cost of purchasing this software and the continuing software development costs. In total GBP576,000 of OTT costs have been capitalised of which GBP311,000 was included in prepayments at the end of 2012. There was no capitalisation of software development costs in Q1 2012.

Overall receivables at the end of Q1 2012 were GBP9.55 million having decreased from the 2012 year-end balance of GBP10.2 million. This fall in trade receivables has been converted into additional cash and so cash balances, net of the foreign exchange loans have increased by 11% to GBP11.9 million from GBP10.7 million at the end of 2012.

The increase in trade and other payables from GBP3.1 million at the end of 2012 to GBP3.9 million at the end of Q1 2013 is a result of increased deferred maintenance income.

Cash flow

The strong cash generation in Q1 2013 has caused the cash balance to increase from GBP14.9 million at the end of 2012 to GBP16.4 million at the end of the quarter, whilst the loan balance has increased to GBP4.4 million from GBP4.2 million, due to foreign currency movements.

Outlook

The strong demand from the existing client base, the new implementation projects for Starz and Seven and the additional conversions the Group hopes to achieve in the coming months, should enable revenues to exceed last year's level. There will also be an increase in costs as the Company works to enlarge delivery capacity but operating profits should increase faster than revenues. In parallel the investment in OTTilus will continue and the Board expects that OTTilus will start making a contribution to revenues in the latter stages of the current financial year. Cash will continue to grow strongly and the Board is examining the best uses for this cash surplus.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO MEMBERS OF PILAT MEDIA GLOBAL PLC

Introduction

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the three months ended 31 March 2013 which comprises the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "'Review of Interim Financial Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to them in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' Responsibilities

The interim financial report, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing and presenting the interim financial report in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") pronouncements as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the three months ended 31 March 2013 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union, and the AIM Rules for Companies.
