Interim Results for the six months ended 30 September 2009 
 
 
The Board of ContentFilm plc (AIM: CFL), a pre-eminent owner of media rights 
supported by strong film, TV and digital sales divisions, today announces its 
unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2009. 
 
 
Financial Highlights 
 
 
  *  Turnover of GBP6.5 million (2008: GBP8.0 million) 
  *  Gross profit before operating expenses of GBP3.0 million (2008: GBP3.4 million) 
  *  Normalised EBITDA¹ of GBP0.7 million (2008: GBP1.1 million) 
  *  Normalised PBT¹ loss of GBP0.1 million (2008: profit of GBP0.6 million) 
  *  Normalised basic EPS¹ of 0.0 pence (2008: 0.3 pence) 
  *  Reported loss of GBP0.6 million (2008: loss of GBP2.4 million) due to lower 
  non-recurring items 
  *  Lower turnover due to lower US DVD revenues related to Allumination 
  restructuring last year 
  *  As previously announced stronger results expected in second half due to all 
  major TV series being delivered in the second half of the financial year 
  *  Debt level and liquidity remain stable and Company expects debt level to fall in 
  second half of this financial year 
 
 
 
Operational Highlights 
 
 
  *  Fireworks International continues to grow but margins are lower this half year 
  due to lower library revenue.  The division has strong visibility into the 
  second half as major television series are delivered, continued library sales 
  are expected and revenues commence from Collins Avenue joint venture 
  *  ContentFilm International is having a better year and a stronger second half is 
  expected as new titles are delivered 
  *  Digital division continues to expand and is delivering profits 
  *  Allumination library, distributed by partly owned Phase 4 Films is delivering 
  profits 
 
 
 
Commenting on the Group's performance, Alton Irby, Non-Executive Chairman of 
ContentFilm, said: 
 
 
"These results demonstrate stability in a particularly difficult economic 
climate. The diversified nature of our distribution activities covering 
television, film and digital product and our low risk model have led us to 
achieve positive Normalised EBITDA¹, in a challenging market place. We expect a 
better second half and solid full year results, which will help drive positive 
cash flow and lower debt levels. 
 
 
"We are focused on building revenue and profits in all three areas - film, 
television, and digital. We see some uplift in the worldwide television market 
although prices remain below pre-recession levels. We continue to pursue 
opportunities to acquire library rights and we will continue to manage our 
costs."

Chairman's Statement 
 
 
Introduction 
 
 
For the six months ended 30 September 2009, ContentFilm plc reports an operating 
profit of GBP0.1 million (2008: loss of GBP1.5 million). The normalised profit 
before interest, tax, depreciation, intangible amortisation, share option 
expenses and exceptionals¹ was GBP0.7 million (2008: GBP1.1 million). The 
normalised profit before tax¹ was a loss of GBP0.1 million (2008: profit of 
GBP0.6 million). The loss before and after tax was GBP0.6 million (2008: GBP2.4 
million) before any normalisation adjustments. 
 
 
The lower normalised profitability in this half year is predominantly due to 
lower television library sales this year compared to last year. Increases in our 
television overhead - due to an expansion in our factual television operations - 
have been mitigated by lower overheads in our film and corporate divisions. 
 
 
These are solid results against the background of the worldwide economic 
recession and challenging market conditions in the film and television sector. 
The Company continues to build its library of film, television, and digital 
entertainment rights. Many of these rights are wholly owned in perpetuity 
driving good margins and significant cash flows through the Company. Coupled 
with that library, the Company has developed and acquired strong sales and 
distribution capabilities to further exploit the potential of our library. This 
marriage of quality content ownership and strong distribution capabilities 
within a managed risk environment has been the foundation behind the Company's 
success.

Results 
 
 
Turnover from operations for the six months to 30 September 2009 was GBP6.5 
million (2008: GBP8.0 million). The normalised profit before and after tax was a 
loss of GBP0.1 million (2008: profit of GBP0.6 million).  This resulted in a 
basic normalised profit per share of 0.0 pence (2008: 0.3 pence). The loss 
before and after tax was GBP0.6 million (2008: loss of GBP2.4 million) before 
any normalisation adjustments. 
 
 
The trading results were influenced by the following factors: 
 
 
  *  The Fireworks library has had a slower first half as broadcasters seek to 
  utilise their existing inventories rather than acquire new library product. 
  There are signs that library sales are improving and we expect a better second 
  half based upon contracts currently being negotiated; 
  *  Our new fictional series, the third seasons of "The Border" and "Heartland" 
  together with new series "Republic of Doyle" will be delivered in our second 
  half; 
  *  Our joint venture Collins Avenue has received its first network broadcast 
  commission for "Fly Girls" which will air in the U.S. on the CW network. Revenue 
  from "Fly Girls" will be recognised in the second half; 
  *  We are very pleased with our digital division which is building an impressive 
  library of multi-platform product whilst also monetising our libraries in the 
  growing digital platforms; 
  *  ContentFilm International is having a better year in a very difficult 
  environment for film. It is expected to make further progress in the second half 
  and is taking delivery of better quality films following its push into the US 
  market. The film division has lowered its overhead this year and is expected to 
  provide profits to the Company; 
  *  The Allumination library is selling well through our distribution deal with 
  Phase 4 and we are also making ground through selling the international and 
  digital rights via ContentFilm International and Fireworks International; 
  *  We do not consolidate the results of our US film distribution investment Phase 4 
  Films. Nevertheless we are pleased with our investment which we believe is 
  growing based on the results and positive cash flow of the company since its 
  inception.

Trading Outlook 
 
 
The Company has good visibility on a stronger second half, where we expect our 
television division's revenues to increase substantially due to the delivery of 
several television series, the recognition of revenues from Collins Avenue's 
"Fly Girls", the recognition of several larger digital deals and improving 
library sales. We also have good visibility in our film division which 
management believe will have a stronger second half. Whilst we do not yet have 
the results of Christmas and New Year trading for our Allumination library, 
based on experience it should have a stronger second half. 
 
 
Debt, Cash Flow and Liquidity 
 
 
The Group has continued to invest in substantial new product acquisitions in its 
television division.  This includes the third seasons of "The Border" and 
"Heartland" and the first season of "Republic of Doyle" together with several 
new factual programmes including "Wild Weddings", "Special Ops", "Wildlife 
Warriors" and "Secret Worlds". 
 
 
The Company continues to hold its loan in US dollars as almost all of its 
receivables are in US dollars or Euros. Foreign exchange translations on the 
loan amount are accounted for in the Company's foreign exchange reserve and do 
not affect the Profit and Loss of the Group as the loan sits in an entity that 
has a functional currency of US dollars. 
 
 
Against the difficult economic environment and the ongoing level of product 
acquisition, it is pleasing that the Company's debt levels have remained 
stable at around $35 million over the last six months.  Due to the appreciation 
in the $USD/GBPGBP exchange rate over the six month period, debt has fallen from 
GBP24.6 million to GBP20.5 million. This exchange rate movement has increased 
our sterling denominated interest charges versus last year in the same period. 
 
 
Liquidity under our loan facility remains stable and is available to meet the 
Company's ongoing working capital requirements. Notwithstanding this 
availability, one of the Company's main aims is to lower the Company's level of 
debt over the coming period and the Company expects that its US dollar debt will 
fall during the current and next financial periods due to ongoing positive 
trading cash flow and new ways of financing our product acquisitions. 
 
 
Carried Forward Tax Losses 
 
 
Despite the Company's accounting profits this period, the Company has not 
recorded a tax charge due to its significant carried forward tax losses in both 
the UK and the US. As at 31 March 2009, the Group's carried forward tax losses 
are estimated at GBP48 million. 
 
 
Divisional Outlook 
ContentFilm International - International Film Sales 
It is expected that ContentFilm International, our theatrical film sales 
division, will have a stronger FY10 than last year.  The division will take 
delivery of several titles in the second half including Philip Ridley's 
"Heartless" starring Jim Sturgis, James Strouse's "The Winning Season" starring 
Sam Rockwell, Nadia Tass' "Matching Jack" starring James Nesbit, and Tom 
DiCillo's "When You're Strange: A Film About the Doors". 
 
 
We are pleased to report that our library film sales division is performing well 
and we are acquiring exploitation rights to more new library titles. 
Additionally we are also finding that our digital division is monetising the 
film library across several new platforms, thus creating new revenue sources. 
 
 
Other points of note are: 
 
 
  *  The principal photography of Jonathan English's US$20m medieval action thriller 
  "Ironclad" starring James Purefoy and Paul Giamatti has been completed and is 
  set for delivery in Autumn 2010.  We are particularly pleased to see the first 
  of our bigger, high profile commercial films come to fruition; 
  *  Oren Moverman's "The Messenger" has been securing significant awards attention 
  for Woody Harrelson with a SAG Nomination for Best Supporting Actor, a National 
  Board of Review win for Best Supporting Actor and recently a Golden Globe 
  nomination in the same category, all of which will help to boost sales and 
  distribution performance; 
  *  Robert Connolly's "The Balibo Conspiracy" secured Best Actor and Best Supporting 
  Awards at the Australian main awards, the AFI's, for Anthony LaPaglia and Oscar 
  Isaac respectively; 
  *  We expect to announce two or three new film acquisitions in the first few months 
  of 2010. 
 
 
 
Fireworks International - International Television Sales 
 
 
The Fireworks library is continuing to sell steadily although its revenues were 
somewhat lower than expectations in the first half. Nevertheless there are signs 
that library sales are improving following the recent MIPCOM market.  Partially 
mitigating the lower revenues in the Fireworks library, sales of our third party 
managed libraries have been robust, in particular the Harmony Gold library 
continues to perform beyond our expectations. 
 
 
Our drama series have been selling well and contracted sales for the series 
being delivered in the upcoming half year have been very solid. The largest of 
these series are the third seasons of "Heartland", "The Border" and the first 
season of "Republic of Doyle", all of which have already sold well. 
 
 
Fireworks' digital sales division continues to expand and has seen several 
pleasing sales of the combined digital library together with sales of individual 
titles to various digital platforms. Additionally we have been receiving 
additional revenue streams from advertising sharing platforms, for example 
on-line video service Hulu, which has seen exponential increases in revenues. 
This area of activity continues to experience enhanced returns the Company 
intends to expand its market leading presence in this sector. 
 
 
Collins Avenue is developing well and has achieved a network commission in a 
relatively short period of time which we regard as a significant achievement for 
a start-up.  The company has an impressive slate of other shows in advanced 
development and discussions are ongoing on possible further broadcast 
commissions. 
 
 
Our factual non-fiction distribution business is developing slower than 
anticipated but is expected to positively contribute to our earnings in the 
second half of this year 
 
 
Allumination and Phase 4 
 
 
The Allumination library, distributed by Phase 4 Films (22.5% owned by the 
Company), has been performing well. Whilst ongoing revenues will be lower this 
year, the margins from the business have improved significantly. 
 
 
Phase 4 continues to develop well and is making profits in a difficult market. 
 
 
Board Retirement 
 
 
Huw Davies has advised of his intention to resign from the Board effective 31 
December 2009 as he wishes to retire. Huw has been a director since the mid 
1990's and the Board thanks him for his many years of invaluable service and 
wishes him well in his retirement. 
 
 
Conclusion 
 
 
The first half of our current financial year has been satisfactory in a 
challenging economic climate. We expect a stronger second half based on our 
current visibility and look forward to a solid full year result.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements 
 
 
1     General Information 
 
 
The interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 September 2009 were 
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution to the Board of Directors 
on 22 December 2009. 
 
 
The company is a public limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom. The 
address of its registered office is 19 Heddon Street, London W1B 4BG. 
 
 
The Company is listed on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment 
Market. 
 
 
These interim Financial Statements do not comprise statutory accounts within the 
meaning of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the 
year ended 31 March 2009 were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 July 2009 
which received an unqualified auditors' report and have been delivered to the 
Registrar of Companies. The financial information contained in this report is 
unaudited. 
 
 
2     Basis of Preparation 
 
 
These interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual 
Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2009, which have been prepared 
in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by 
the European Union. 
 
 
3    Accounting Policies 
 
 
These consolidated financial statements (the interim financial statements) have 
been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the last 
annual financial statements for the year to 31 March 2009 except for the 
adoption of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised 2007) and IFRS 8 
Operating Segments. 
 
 
The adoption of IAS 1 (Revised 2007) does not effect the financial position or 
profits of the Group, but it gives rise to additional disclosures. The 
measurement and recognition of the Group's assets, liabilities, income and 
expenses is unchanged, however some items that were recognised directly in 
equity are now recognised in other comprehensive income. IAS 1 (Revised 2007) 
affects the presentation of owner changes in equity and introduces a 'Statement 
of comprehensive income'. In accordance with the new standard the entity does 
not present a 'Statement of recognised income and expenses (SORIE)'. Further, a 
'Statement of changes in equity' is presented. 
 
 
The adoption of IFRS 8 has changed the segments that will be disclosed in the 
year-end financial statements. In the previous annual and interim financial 
statements, and in these interim financial statements, segments were identified 
by reference to the dominant source and nature of the group's risks and returns. 
Under IFRS 8 the accounting policy for identifying segments is now based on the 
internal management reporting information that is regularly reviewed by the 
chief operating decision maker. 
 
 
4    Segmental analysis 
 
 
The operations of the group are managed in four principle business divisions; 
film, television, US film and DVD distribution and Corporate. These divisions 
are the basis upon which the management reports its primary segment information.
