Purchase of 75% stake in Pollination Music Limited


MAMA Group Plc ("MAMA" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it
purchased a 75% stake in music publishing company Pollination Music Limited
("Pollination").

Pollination was incorporated in 2001 and acts as exclusive worldwide publisher
of a number of writers including Tore Johansson, the producer of the
multi-million selling albums by Franz Ferdinand and The Cardigans; Bjork
collaborator and producer Valgeir Sigurdsson and Danish pop writer Carsten
Kroeyer who has co-written with Melanie C and Lucie Silvas. Pollination also
works with one of the world's most successful DJ/ Producers Paul Oakenfold and
his Perfecto Music companies, supplying hit movies and TV shows with soundtrack
material as well as administrating the publishing of Oakenfold's own record
releases world-wide outside of the USA.

Pollination has a number of strategic sub-publisher partners around the world
including Spirit Music in the United States, Mushroom Music in Australia,
Strictly Confidential in France/Benelux, Air Chrysalis in Scandinavia and
Fairwood in Asia and Africa.

MAMA has acquired 75% of Pollination Music for a consideration of #140,000,
payable in cash.



Adam Driscoll and Dean James, Co-Chief Executive Officers of MAMA commented:

"We are delighted to be making this acquisition. We believe that a more
significant move by the Group into the music publishing market underpins one of
our key strategic goals which is to build long term rights in music rights.
Through our interest in Pollination we have acquired a great roster of writers
and a solid team of sub-publishers around the world. We are excited about the
opportunities that we now have in the publishing field to work with artists that
we deal with elsewhere in the Group, for example those that play in our Barfly
venues. We believe that we can build a valuable Group publishing asset over the
coming months and years."

Acquisition of a stake in Lovebox Entertainment Limited ("Lovebox")


MAMA Group Plc ("MAMA") announces that it has taken a 25% stake in Lovebox, a
company whose shareholders include members of the band Groove Armada. MAMA has
made an investment of #300,000 in Lovebox and has taken an option to acquire a
further 25% of the company from February 2009.

Lovebox has the rights to run the Lovebox Weekender festival scheduled to take
place in Victoria Park in London on July 21st and 22nd 2007. The Lovebox
Weekender in 2006 attracted an audience of 35,000 people who came to see artists
including Jamiroquai and Groove Armada. The 2007 event will be the fifth annual
Lovebox festival which has grown from a one day show attracting 10,000 attendees
in its inaugural year.

After the 2006 festival London's Evening Standard commented "Lovebox indicates
that it has motivated promoters to raise the bar...if this is the shape of
summer festivals to come there will be no complaints from us". MAMA and the
other Lovebox shareholders are aiming to deliver an even better event in 2007 to
an increased audience.

Dan O'Neill, Managing Director of Lovebox said "I am delighted to welcome MAMA
as a shareholder. We believe that MAMA shares the same strategic goals and
ambitions as the Lovebox founders and management team. We feel that this
relationship will underpin the expansion plans that we have for the business and
the development of the brand."

Adam Driscoll and Dean James, co-chief executive officers of MAMA commented:

"We are delighted to be making this investment. We have been impressed with the
Lovebox team and feel that there are considerable expansion opportunities
available to the Lovebox brand which we can help facilitate - not just through
taking the festival into other territories, though this will be a key part of
future growth, but in a whole range of brand extension opportunities including
recording, publishing, ticketing and digital exploitation. We look forward to a
long and prosperous partnership".

Rather odd AFX piece of news. Doesn't seem a particularly meaningful increase in itself and what about all the other sizeable transactions recently?

Seems the small retail buys/no sells over the last few days have finally pushed up the offer. Merely widening the spread, so no sense of direction yet apparent.

The big ticket trades seem to be continuing steadily, at 3p rather than lower. Intriguing to know who's doing what. Can only imagine, as above, that somebody's getting rid of their stock round the market & getting a reasonable if not overexcited response.

We seem to be seeing a steady disposal of a stake in the company. Am I right in believing this will only be declared as such when the programme of sales is completed, under the rules?

The sanctuary results statement also said there had been no further contact with Mama, so it would seem Mama not included among those expressing interest referred to above.

From the director buying before Xmas & yesterday(& buying yesterday should indicate there is nothing immediately in the pipeline that would affect the shareprice)Mama would seem to be doing OK on their own.

Looking at the old RNS about Sanctuary snubbing MAMA, because they wanted to wait for 2006 results before considering and sale or aquisitions, now 2006 results are out and Sanctuary is now willing to consider sale or aquisition.
Perhaps MAMA will now bid again.






Here are the extracts......

MAMA walks away from Sanctuary
Date: Monday 09 Oct 2006

LONDON (ShareCast) - MAMA Group has withdrawn the proposals made to troubled music group Sanctuary in July and is no longer considering making an offer for the company, it said in a statement today.

The firm, whose proposals were rejected by Sanctuary, had been seeking to formulate a proposal which would be in the best interests of both MAMA Group's and Sanctuary's shareholders, it said.

But it added that "Sanctuary has made it clear, through their advisers, that they are not prepared to engage in any meaningful dialogue with regard to MAMA's proposals."

Having further considered its position, MAMA now believes that there is "little merit" in attempting to continue to seek an acquisition of Sanctuary and therefore withdrew the proposals and is no longer considering making an offer for the company.





Then an extract from a Sanctuary RNS.

"A number of approaches have been made to Sanctuary expressing interest in a
number of its businesses. Once Sanctuary has announced its results for 2006, it
expects to be in a position to consider these strategic proposals."




And finally an extract from Scotsman after the results were out,

"The music management group Sanctuary said it was looking into the sale of some of its businesses as it attempts to return to profitability.

Another 9m sold today. Wonder who's selling out? No doubt we'll find out soon enough.

Probably more Director buys.

Fair enough.

You are, of course, right that the results in themselves, being well out of date in a fast moving situation, are not terribly helpful (though encouraging enough). The current trading & outlook statements are unhedgedly confident, however, and I was much comforted by the large director purchase at the end of last year, when the block of stock became available, and as I note above by the warrants take up.

Mms seem still to have stock to sell, judging by the couple of deals this am, but that is neither here nor there.

The company is plainly looking for action (see the recent 2005(!)AGM resolutions) & it should, if nothing else, be a fun ride.

Hard to make out anything from the results really.

Watched these avidly to see them move up and make them a buy but it just hasn't happened - thought the results might have triggered it today but having read them I doubt it.

Will keep watching I think. Will be interesting to see if directors buy again.

Not got time to study the results until later. Management seem pretty happy with the way things are going and there seems plenty of detail to look at in the results to guide thinking for how 2007 will pan out. Certainly happy to keep the few I have as a punt.

Good results. Particularly pleasing to note in the detail that the 1.725m new shares recently created by the exercise of warrants were issued at 5p, so somebody is optimistic about the future!

Well funded (most of the shareholders' equity is intangibles, so not a useful figure)so an unusual Aim stock - good financial base as well as growth potential.

I bought 63,000 shares at 3.6p. The company's at cash flow break even, roughly, they have £4 million in cash, and shareholders' equity is £16 million. Their market cap is £13 million.

I know it's facile to say they're undervalued just because market cap is less than sharedholders' equity, but still - this looks like a value stock with a lot of potential upside.

Management team has good track record too.
