CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Music

The Group continues the development of its Asian-based music business. This year's Classic Rock Awards in Tokyo has the confirmed participation of Cheap Trick, Richie Sambora, Jeff Beck and his band featuring Dead DeLeo, Joe Walsh (Eagles), Jimmy Page, Kirk Hammet (Metallica), Phil Collen (Def Leppard), Orianthi, Slot Machine, Joe Elliot (Def Leppard), Sarah Geronimo, Bamboo, Tommy Henriksen (Hollywood Vampires) and Ray Luzier (Korn).

Golf Events

PMG is in active discussion with various potential title sponsors of the Championship.

Financial Review

Gross profit has increased by GBP86k and the operating loss has improved by GBP24k against the same period last year. The twelve month period between the previous interims has seen the net liabilities reduced by GBP836k.

As in previous years, I have supported the working capital requirements of the Group. The balance of the monies due to me and entities owned and controlled by me at the period end was GBP1.15m. In addition, the bank facility at period end totalled GBP0.28m and is secured by a personal guarantee provided by me at a monthly cost of GBP1,319 to the Group.

The loans have been made in the name of David Ciclitira on a short term basis and as yet there are no formal terms of these loans. It has, however, been agreed between David Ciclitira and the independent directors, being Tim Sturm and Ranjit Murugason (the "Independent Directors"), that the loans will not carry interest and will be repayable upon demand. The Independent Directors consider that, having consulted with the Group's Nominated Adviser, the provision of the loans are fair and reasonable in so far as the Group's shareholders are concerned.

Post Balance Sheet Events

There has not been any matter or circumstance occurring subsequent to the end of the financial period that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years. As previously stated, the Group continues to look for acquisitions in the live event and entertainment sector and expects to make an announcement before the end of 2016.

Going forward

I remain positive and would like to use this opportunity to thank our board and hardworking staff, without whose support our undoubted potential would not be possible.

David Ciclitira

Chairman

   4.     Earnings per Share 

The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year. In calculating the diluted earnings per share, outstanding share options, warrants and convertible loans are taken into account where the impact of these is dilutive.
