PRESS RELEASE

New Stage Musical ready for take off!
Music Copyright Solutions ("MCS") is pleased to announce that "A Model Girl" is

Written by Richard Alexander and Marek Rymaszewski, the show is based on the
Profumo affair, the sixties scandal which rocked the British Government and
which continues to capture the imagination of the public on both sides of the
Atlantic.
MCS's Creative Director Guy Fletcher says "we are thrilled to have this show on
our books. It is great story filled with fabulous songs. Having worked with the
creators for two years, I am confident that the show will make a major impact on
London's Musical Theatre scene throughout 2007."

MCS's mainstream catalogue publishing business also continues to show great
results with over two hundred MCS owned or administered copyrights being
released in the UK during October, featuring artists such as Ray Charles, Jimmy
Nail, Bananarama, Pretenders, Tom Jones, Paul Young, Alex Parkes.
M
CS is back in the UK singles chart with Li'l Chris and "CHECKIN' IT OUT",
which has played in the top ten for the last three weeks, and with an album due
to be released in November.

WHAT A DOG

[glennborthwick] 30/6/2005 17:06

Music Copyright Solutions PLC
30 June 2005


Music Copyright Solutions Plc

Chairman's Statement

During the year to December 31st 2004, your company enjoyed a fruitful year
of steady trading with a turnover of £7,728,108 up from £7,017,016 in 2003.
Gross Profit, representing Net Publisher's Share, increased by 34% to
£2,322,765. I am pleased to report a Profit before Interest, Tax,
Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) of £195,704 (2003 £22,934). This was
after expensing AIM flotation costs of £137,603.



Earnings per share, adjusted for Depreciation, Amortisation, and Interest
Payable were 0.76 pence (2003 0.19 pence).

Amortisation increased, as a result of a full year's charge on the Palan
business, purchased in 2003.

The directors are not recommending the payment of a
dividend.

Overview

An increasing number of reports in the media that new technology is
threatening the copyright management business has indeed made the sector
quite nervous. However, MCS, having built a strong TV and film catalogue, a
significant proportion of which is based entirely upon performance income,
has steered a safe course through this rather stormy period. Television music
does not rely on record sales and therefore solid revenues can be predicted
going forward. Through associations with major established clients such as
Endemol UK and TransWorld International coupled with a steady stream of new
administration business, MCS have continued to add new TV programmes to our
list of old favourites. Some of the shows whose music is managed by MCS are
Postman Pat, CSI Miami, Dennis the Menace, Big Brother, Ready Steady Cook,
Changing Rooms, Pet Rescue, The Farm, Fit Farm plus a host of others on
Cable, Digital and Satellite Channels e.g. National Geographic, Arts and
Entertainment and Discovery.

Diamond Time Ltd, MCS' wholly owned subsidiary in New York, has had a good
year with many major TV and film companies using their expert copyright
clearance services. Among the now regular users of their service are The
Cohen Brothers, Sony Pictures and The Smithsonian Institute. Diamond Time has
recently opened a satellite office in Los Angeles to cope with the increase
in activity in its motion picture music clearance business.


Outlook

On 10th May 2005 we announced that we were in discussions with a third party
which could lead to a combination of all or part of the assets or businesses
of the two companies. Your directors are pleased to confirm that these
discussions are continuing.

I should like to take this opportunity to thank the staff for their
dedication and hard work throughout the year.

[glennborthwick] 30/4/2005 17:11

[double6] 28/4/2005 08:19

The current market cap may be the ACTUAL worth ?

[fatnacker] 28/4/2005 08:04

[fatnacker] 28/4/2005 07:58

[peteark] 28/4/2005 07:13

This will rocket this morning

[peteark] 28/4/2005 07:12

The Directors of MCS have noted the recent increase in the price of the
Company's shares. The Directors can confirm that they have had early stage
discussions with a third party which could lead to a combination of all or part
of the assets or businesses of the two companies. One possible outcome of these
discussions may be an offer for the Company.

The Directors would reiterate that these discussions are at a very early stage
and accordingly there can be no certainty that an offer will be made or on the
terms on which any offer will be made.

[double6] 27/4/2005 22:10
