"I am pleased to report that Tinopolis is continuing to show the steady and progressive improvement in its performance that has been
evident since our purchase of The Television Corporation two years ago. All parts of our business are doing well and Mentorn, our biggest
management challenge, continues to be on the improvement schedule we set out for it at acquisition.
Since the end of the period, a recommended offer has been made for the Company at a price of 45 pence per share. Shareholder and Court
approval for the scheme of arrangement was obtained on 16 June 2008 and the effective date of the scheme is expected to be 10 July 2008,
following which time Tinopolis will cease to trade on AIM.
