Chairman's Statement

Metrodome is pleased to present its results for the year ended 31 December 2012.

Metrodome is a fully integrated rights management and distribution business which provides its industry expertise to maximise revenues for producers of film and TV content across all distribution platforms. As a business we excel in creating bespoke, cost effective release strategies to maximise returns for all stakeholders. We pride ourselves on our market knowledge and ability to adapt to our clients' needs in a fast changing media landscape. We also pride ourselves on our ability to provide the very best in marketing, press and sales, delivering exceptional release campaigns for quality movies that capture the imagination of audiences.

Operating performance

The continuing businesses of UK film distribution and worldwide sales agency were profitable for the year at the underlying EBITDA level (note 3), despite the loss of sales to HMV and Blockbuster which went into administration in January 2013.

Metrodome released 7 theatrical titles to cinemas in 2012 plus 22 one-print releases to launch the DVD. The highlights included In Darkness, the Oscar nominated World War 2 story about Jewish refugees, A Royal Affair, the Oscar nominated 18(th) century historical drama and Room 237, the documentary exploring the hidden meanings in Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining.

The Group released 57 DVD titles during the year, including:

   --      Grave Encounters (horror) 
   --      Innkeepers (horror) 
   --      St Georges Day (British crime thriller) 

HMV went into administration in January 2013 which had a serious impact on our Q4 revenue. DVD sales were reduced by GBP213,000.

A full breakdown of the Group's total revenue is as follows:

 
                         Year ended      % of            Year ended      % of         Growth

Cinema Sales                    604      7.4%                   348      3.9%          73.6% 
Television Sales                550      6.7%                   434      4.8%          26.7% 
Video on Demand               1,043     12.7%                 1,110     12.4%         (6.0)% 
Other ancillary income          277      3.4%                    77      0.9%         259.7%

DVD Sell Through              5,436     66.3%                 6,643     74.2%        (18.2)% 
                              8,195    100.0%                 8,956    100.0%         (8.5)% 
                         ==========  ========  ====================  ========  ============= 
 

Total revenues of GBP8,195,000 were 8.5% lower than the same period last year (2011: GBP8,956,000), mainly due to the loss of sales to HMV.

We announced our expansion into production with a slate of films through our subsidiary Cinedome Ltd. Five projects are at various stages of development and production. The film library includes GBP103,000 incurred during the year on the first feature via a new subsidiary: Devil Lies Beneath Ltd. Borderlands is an innovative horror feature which will be released in the UK in 2013.

Cost base

The Group is constantly reviewing its operating structure and cost base in an attempt to improve operational effectiveness and achieve efficiencies. We are regularly reviewing key contracts with suppliers, with a view to maintaining high standards and further cost reductions.

Hollywood Classics moved into the Edgware Road office in February 2012 which will ultimately achieve significant cost savings by reducing overheads.

We carried out a review of operating costs at the end of the year which resulted in 4 redundancies in early 2013.

Discontinuation of Target Entertainment Ltd ("Target")

The acquisition of Target fulfilled a strategic aim to diversify into worldwide TV distribution to complement our existing film distribution business. Unfortunately this objective proved to be unsuccessful due to a number of factors, including the underperformance in sales of key programmes and the loss of key producers post acquisition. Target was placed into administration on 28 February 2012 because it had accumulated losses and needed significant funding to meet its current liabilities and acquisition of new programming in order to return to profitability. Metrodome decided it was not in the best interests of the Company to provide this level of continued support for its loss-making subsidiary. It was a difficult but necessary decision in order to safeguard the future of the remaining profitable trading divisions of the Group. Metrodome was owed GBP2.8m when the joint administrators were appointed.

Under applicable accounting standards we were required to impair the assets in 2011 and remove the liabilities from the consolidation in 2012, which resulted in a profit from discontinued operations for the year of GBP5,196,000 (2011: loss of GBP8,733,000).

Funding

On 23 January 2013 the company raised GBP750,000 from Metrodome BV, a 7.13% shareholder of the Company which is ultimately controlled by the same entity which owns a majority investment of Alerria Management Company SA, a 34.7% shareholder of the Company. The loan shall be used to supplement working capital requirements and acquire new content.

Board changes

On 30 September 2012 Steve Winetroube resigned from his role as Chief Operating Officer for the Group.

Delisting

The board has carefully reviewed the costs and benefits of being on AIM and decided it is in the best interests of all shareholders and the company to cancel ("Cancellation") its listing on AIM. The Board has given careful attention to the merits of maintaining its listing on AIM against the current backdrop of a lack of liquidity in the trading of the ordinary shares, the challenges and likelihood of raising equity finance and the annual cost of maintaining the listing. This was a difficult but necessary decision. We can no longer justify the expense when we see little prospect of raising funding in the near future. The Board will make provision for shareholders to continue to trade their shares after the Cancellation. The AIM Rules require that shareholders approve the Cancellation. Further information surrounding the Cancellation proposals will be circulated to shareholders in the Annual Report to be dispatched in due course with the resolution to be included at the next AGM which is anticipated to take place on 25 June 2013.

Outlook

We have seen a shakeout in the film distribution industry with the recent difficulties of some of our main competitors. The Group is in a good position to capitalise in the marketplace and well positioned for organic growth. This will be achieved by continuing to acquire and/or produce good quality content for UK distribution and the acquisition and representation of classic film libraries across all platforms including the emerging digital platforms which will be a catalyst for growth. It is the Board's belief that the next stage of the Company's growth can be best effected as a private company.

Notes to the Preliminary announcement

For the year ended 31 December 2012

1. Preparation of the accounts

The preliminary announcement has been prepared under the historical cost convention on a going concern basis and in accordance with applicable International Financial Reporting Standards and IFRIC interpretations ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU.

Going concern

The board carries out an assessment of whether the Group is a going concern when preparing its annual and half-yearly financial statements. This assessment takes into account the size, level of financial risk and complexity of the Group and its operations. The review covers a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

There is uncertainty over future revenues since HMV and Blockbuster went into administration in January 2013. The company continued to trade with the administrators and is trading with the new owners of HMV on a consignment basis, whereby Metrodome only records a sale when it has been made over the counter to the end consumer, which minimises the risk of bad debt. The company experienced a similar shake up in the market when EUK ceased trading in 2008. The directors are confident that consumers will find a way to consume our product in the absence of HMV, provided we expand into alternative retail outlets and continue our expansion into online and video on demand platforms.

The company was technically in breach of certain loan covenants at the year end and so the bank could have recalled their loan. The conditions of the bank loan were successfully renegotiated in April 2013 and the loan repayments over the remaining term are unchanged.

The directors monitor the success and failure of the company's main competitors. Whilst the directors have noted the failure of close competitors such as Revolver Entertainment Ltd, which went into administration in April 2013, the directors see the potential opportunity to acquire new films and increase market share as a result.

The assessment is twofold: firstly to assess the minimum requirements to continue as a going concern and secondly, to identify the funding requirements for new acquisitions and make plans to raise additional finance where necessary, for example from major shareholders.

The following factors are taken into consideration during the going concern assessment:

   1)   Overdraft at the end of the financial year of GBP276,000 (2011: GBP710,000 cash at bank) 
   2)   Cash balance at the end of April 2013 of GBP268,000 and cash generated during May 2013, 

3) The Group's bank overdraft facility of GBP500,000 which has a temporary uplift of GBP250,000 to GBP750,000 for 6 months from June to November 2013,

4) Detailed forecasts prepared which contain cash flow projections by title, based on consistent and reliable assumptions for income recognition and the timing of cash flows,

5) The quantity and quality of films scheduled for release in the next twelve months and the acquisition strategy to fill in the gaps in the schedule,

6) The Group's reduced reliance on key customers due to an increase in the number of customers and use of credit insurance,

7) The Group's dependence on key suppliers which has ensured contingency plans are put in place to ensure business continuity,

   8)   The extension of loan facilities and the agreement to extend the convertible loan notes 
   9)   Loan covenant forecasts and the ongoing support of major shareholders. 

As a consequence of the Group's financial resources at the year end and having considered the trading and cash flow forecasts for the next twelve months and the ongoing support of major shareholders, the directors believe that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.

Preliminary announcement

The preliminary announcement has been prepared on the basis of the same accounting policies as published in the audited financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2011 and the same accounting policies adopted in the financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012.

The financial information in this preliminary announcement does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 but has been derived from statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012 which will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in due course. The audit report on these statutory accounts was unqualified and did not contain a statement either under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2011 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The audit report on these statutory accounts was unqualified and did not contain a statement either under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The preliminary announcement is presented in pounds sterling since that is the currency in which the majority of the Group's transactions are denominated.

2. Operating segments

IFRS 8 Operating Segments requires financial information to be reported on the same basis as is used internally for evaluating operating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to operating segments.

An operating segment is a component of an entity:

   a)   that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, 

b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and

   c)   for which discrete financial information is available. 

In the opinion of the directors, the chief decision maker is the Board of Metrodome Group plc and there were two segments in 2012 whose reports were reviewed by the Board in order to allocate resources and assess performance. The first operating segment is based on its original business activity of UK film distribution. The second segment, Hollywood Classics, an international sales agency, reflects Hollywood Classics Limited, a 100% owned subsidiary acquired on 11 August 2011 and whose results have been included in the consolidated financial statements. In 2011 there were three operating segments: film distribution, Hollywood Classics and TV distribution. The TV distribution segment reflected Target Entertainment Limited (and its subsidiaries), a 100% owned subsidiary discontinued on 28 February 2012 when Target was placed into administration. Pricing of transactions between operating segments is determined on an arm's length basis.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same in the current year because at the year end the exercise price was greater than the share price. Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same in the prior year as the effect on the loss for the year would be anti-dilutive.

5. Dividends

The directors are unable to recommend payment of a dividend (2011: GBPnil).

6. Exceptional items

The Group has separately identified costs and revenue of an exceptional nature which are considered to be outside the normal course of business due to their one-off nature or size.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------  --------- 
 

The deferred tax credit for the year is due to the amortisation of the fair value of producer relationships.

8. Film and TV distribution library

Expenditure on the Group's film and TV distribution library is carried forward and recognised as an asset when it is estimated that sufficient future income will be earned to cover recoupment of the costs. These costs are written off in line with actual income flows calculated in accordance with licensor agreements.

The estimate of future income depends on management judgement and assumptions based on the pattern of historical revenue streams and the remaining life of each film or TV contract.

The loan agreement states Shareholders Funds should not fall below GBP500,000 and the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position shows GBP161,000. The conditions of the bank loan have been renegotiated in April 2013 and the loan repayments over four years are unchanged.
