Commenting on the results, Michael Rosenberg, Chairman of Pilat Media Global plc, said:

"The strong growth the Company experienced in the first quarter has continued and with the signing of the new contracts recently announced and the major contracts at Starz and Seven the Board expects growth to continue. The signing of these new contracts is important not only for their revenue contribution but also because they are in emerging markets for Pilat Media. In Latin America the Company has built on its success in winning its first major client, GloboSat in Brazil three years ago. The contract in Turkey again demonstrates the widening of Pilat Media's marketing footprint into new growing territories. Cash generation continues to be strong and the Board continuously reviews the best way to utilise its robust balance sheet."

Chairman and CEO's Statement

Pilat Media Global plc is pleased to announce its results for the six months and three months ended 30 June 2013.

Revenues in Q2 and in H1 grew by 21.4% and 18.5% respectively compared with the equivalent periods last year. This revenue growth has primarily come from increased demand from clients under contracts signed in previous years. Only one of the new contracts signed this year with Australia's Seven West Media ("Seven"), contributed significantly to revenues in Q2. This major contract with Seven is one of five new contracts the Company has signed over the last few months.

In April 2013, the Company signed a contract with America's Starz Entertainment, Inc. ("Starz") who licensed and is now 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 and transmission scheduling across all their channels and Video on Demand ("VOD") services. The Company has now completed the scoping and analysis phase and the implementation plan and budget have now been approved and the project commenced.

In August 2013, Pilat Media announced the signing of three new contracts. The first is with a leading premium television network in Latin America licensing the full suite of IBMS modules for gradual implementation and long-term maintenance for an eight year period. The second is through a local partner who will be sublicensing and fronting the implementation of IBMS at a major telecommunications company in South America to support advertising sales and traffic as part of their IPTV service. The third contract is with a major provider of a premium television service in Turkey, for the licensing of IBMS On-Demand and IBMS-Rights.

The five new contracts are expected to contribute approximately GBP11 million of license and initial implementation fees this and next year.

The work on the new contracts and increased demand from existing clients has required the Company to increase delivery capacity with a consequential increase in operational costs. However, despite the increased costs, the Board expects operating profits to increase over last year's level.

Results

Q2 revenues of GBP6.57 million (Q2 2012: GBP5.41 million) were 21.4% higher than the equivalent quarter in 2012. These increased revenues reflected increased activity across the Group's entire existing client base and the start of revenues from the contract Seven. Maintenance revenues continued the trend from Q1 and increased by 15.6% to GBP1.57 million (Q2 2012: GBP1.35 million) as more clients progressed from implementation to maintenance mode during 2012 and the first few months of 2013. Licence revenues in Q2 2013 increased to GBP0.77 million (Q2 2012: GBP0.70 million) as a result of the proportion of licence fees recognised as part of the progression of the large ongoing implementation projects and some up-selling of additional product licences.

The pattern of increased revenues for professional services (customisation, integration, training and consulting fees) that the Company saw in Q1 continued in Q2 where revenues grew by 25.9% to GBP4.24 million (Q2 2012: GBP3.37 million). Only 13% of these services revenues came from the new contract with Seven and from analysis studies paid for by new prospects. Most of the increase in services revenues therefore reflects the expanded use of the Company's products by the various clients and demonstrate the new business potential that exists within the Company's install base.

Gross profit in Q2 was GBP3.45 million (Q2 2012: GBP2.67 million), which represents a margin of 52.5% compared to 49.3% in the equivalent period last year and 48.2% in Q1 of 2013. This improvement is a result of a better revenue mix achieved by the completion of less profitable projects and the impact of the license component of the new contract with Seven.

As noted in the Q1 Chairman's Statement, the Company has enlarged its Research and Development ("R&D") team and in Q2 maintained its investment in product improvements and enhancements at a similar level of R&D expenditure as in the first quarter, at GBP1.2 million (Q2 2012: GBP0.8 million).

Sales and marketing costs are always higher in the second quarter due to attendance at the NAB trade show in Las Vegas and a number of other smaller trade shows were also attended. As a result in Q2 2013, sales and marketing costs increased to GBP0.47 million (Q2 2011: GBP0.42 million).

General and administrative costs for the quarter at GBP1.09 million (Q2: 2012 GBP1.09 million) and the half year at GBP2.1 million (H1: 2012 GBP2.06 million) are broadly in-line with the costs for the equivalent periods last year.

The weakening of the Australian dollar in the quarter was the primary reason for the exchange loss in the quarter. As to the other currencies the Company trades in, the loans that the Company put in place (in US and Canadian Dollars) have had the desired impact of significantly moderating the fluctuations caused by exchange rate movements in these currencies. 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 (Q2 2013: GBP80,000; Q2 2012: GBP28,000) were much reduced from those of previous years.

Though revenues in the quarter were higher these were offset by the higher research and development costs and the exchange loss so that the Q2 2013 operating profit (after amortisation of intangible assets) was at a similar level to the equivalent quarter last year at GBP0.09 million (Q2 2012: GBP0.1 million). However, as a result of the fair value gain on forward contracts of GBP 80,000 noted above and the interest income, there is a higher profit before tax of GBP189,000 compared to GBP145,000 in Q2 2012.

With the tax charge at a similar level to the full year charge, the profit after tax for the six months to 30 June 2013 is GBP0.18 million (H1 2012: GBP0.04 million) and for the quarter is GBP0.15 million (Q2 2012: GBP0.03 million).

Statement of Financial Position

The Group has continued its development of the new OTT product under the OTTilus brand and GBP0.09 million of software development costs has been capitalised into intangible assets in the quarter. The cumulative investment in OTTilus so far has been GBP0.75 million and it is currently consuming cash in the order of GBP40,000 a month. The Board expects sales to start by the end of this year and revenue generation to follow next year. Intangible assets continued to decrease in Q2 2013 by GBP174,000 net of the new capitalisation (Q2 2012: GBP532,000) due to amortisation of older assets exceeding the newly capitalised investment.

Trade and other payables remains at a similar level to that of Q1 2013 at GBP3.9 million, an increase from the GBP3.1 million at the end of 2012 as a result of increased deferred maintenance revenue.

Cash flow

Cash generation continues to remain strong with cash balances increasing to GBP16.56 million at the end of Q2 from GBP14.9 million at the end of 2012. The foreign currency loan balance has increased to GBP4.3 million from GBP4.2 million meaning net cash has increased to GBP12.2 million from GBP10.7 million at the end of 2012.

Outlook

The recent signing of three new contracts in the new emerging regions of South America and Turkey, together with the major contracts with Seven in Australia and Starz in the USA signed earlier in the year, have increased the Board's confidence that revenues and profits should exceed last year's levels (although there is always a risk of delivery delays that might result in slower than planned revenue recognition). The Board anticipates cash levels to increase accordingly (net of capital expenditure). Most of the GBP11 million first two year value of the new contracts will contribute to 2014's revenues. In addition the Company is working to convert additional prospects from the sales pipeline into contracts for next year and beyond.

In parallel the Board is examining the best uses for the Company's healthy cash reserves including looking for suitable opportunities to invest these reserves and take advantage of the good momentum the Company is experiencing.

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 30 June 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 of the London Stock Exchange.

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 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 and six months ended 30 June 2013 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union, and the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.
