RNS Number:4137S Medal Entertainment & Media PLC 06 March 2007 6 March 2007 Medal Entertainment & Media plc ("MEM" or "the Company") Trading Update The board of directors of MEM ("the Board") today announces an update on trading and on the integration of UGD/Britannia Music ("UGD"), the DVD and CD direct marketing business that MEM acquired in October 2006 for a deferred consideration of #1.5m payable in March 2008. Expectations for year to 31 March 2007 At the time of the announcement of MEM's interims results on 15 December 2006, the Company was trading in line with market expectations for the year ending 31 March 2007. Following sales below internal forecasts in UGD in January and February 2007 and in DD Home Entertainment ("DDHE") in February 2007, it has become apparent to the Board, for the reasons stated below, that MEM will make a loss before tax and exceptional items in the year ending 31 March 2007 of approximately #1million. As anticipated, the Company will incur exceptional one-off costs associated with the acquisition and integration of UGD and disposal of Fountain Television Limited in September 2006. UGD integration The expected shortfall for the year ending 31 March 2007 has arisen principally due to lower sales achieved in the acquired UGD business in January and February 2007. These lower sales levels in UGD are as a result of the incidence of non-recurring issues arising within inherited systems and outsourced contracts at UGD. These issues have led to lower quantities of customer mailings being sent out and significantly later than were required. From April 2007, the integration of UGD into DDHE will be substantially complete and the inherited systems discontinued. Outlook The Board firmly believes that the MEM business has the foundations to continue to grow and make progress in both its DDHE/UGD direct marketing business and in its TV production division, Scarlet TV. With the integration of UGD substantially complete, the elimination of UGD's legacy costs, the economies of scale arising from the combination of DDHE and UGD and the expected positive impact of VAT exempt sales on some of DDHE's shipments out of Jersey, the Board is of the opinion that the Company will achieve market expectations for the year ending 31 March 2008. In the near term, the Board expects to be able to announce a significant content licensing agreement for DDHE and also several new TV production commissions for Scarlet TV.
