CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Financial Review
This has been a limited period of activity for the Group and the operating loss amounted to GBP0.322m (H1 2016: loss GBP0.110m). The loss before tax for the period was GBP0.364m (H1 2016: profit of GBP0.057m).
As in previous years, I have supported the working capital requirements of the Group. The Company announced on 30 June 2017 that these loans have now been formalised with interest payable at 5 per cent per annum. The loans are repayable on 29 September, 2018 or at an earlier date at the discretion of the independent directors of the Board.
I have agreed to forego half of my remuneration for the first half of this financial year. The balance of the monies due to me and entities owned and controlled by me at 30(th) September 2017 will be GBP1.964m.
Post Balance Sheet Events
On 9 August 2017, it was announced that PMG was in advanced discussions with another party about a possible transaction which would under the AIM rules constitute a reverse takeover of the Company. As a result the Group's share price was suspended until the publication of a readmission document or until discussions are terminated. As stated above, the Group is negotiating an acquisition in the live event and entertainment sector, but as previously advised, there can be no certainty that the discussions between the parties will lead to any agreement concerning the possible transaction or as to the timing or terms of any such transaction and there can be no assurance that, even if agreement is reached, any such transaction would be completed. Further updates will be provided to shareholders as appropriate in due course.
Aside from the foregoing, there has not been any matter or circumstance occurring subsequent to the end of the financial period that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.
Going forward
I remain positive and would like to use this opportunity to thank our board and hardworking staff, for their hard work and support.
David Ciclitira
Chairman

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. Basis of Preparation
The condensed financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards. The condensed consolidated half-yearly financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. These half-yearly results are unaudited and do not constitute statutory accounts.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The condensed financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The same accounting policies, presentation and method of computation are followed in these condensed financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.
3. Going concern
The Directors have prepared trading and cash flow forecasts for the Group for the year ended 31 December 2018. The forecasts incorporate trading assumptions, including sponsorship revenues and revenues from new events. The forecasts show that the Group has sufficient cash to meet liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of signature of the financial statements.
In addition, the Directors have received confirmation that financial support will be provided to the PMG Group of companies sufficient to enable the Group to continue to trade and meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future being at least 12 months from the date that the Parallel Media Group plc financial statements for the half year ended 30 June 2017 are approved and signed.
The Directors believe these forecasts to be realistic and consequently have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
4. Segment Information - Changes in Operating Segments
The group operates under three segments, Sports, Entertainment and Media.
Operating Segments Sports Entertainment Media Consolidated ----------------------- --------------- ---------------- -------------- ---------------- GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000 ----------------------- --------------- ---------------- -------------- ---------------- June June June June June June June June 2017 2016 2017 2016 2017 2016 2017 2016 ----------------------- ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------ -------- ------ Revenue - 200 - - - - - 200 ----------------------- ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------ -------- ------ Joint ventures - - - - - - - - ----------------------- ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------ -------- ------ Segment result - 122 - - - - - 122 ----------------------- ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------ -------- ------ Unallocated corporate expenses (322) (232) -------------------------------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------ -------- ------ Exceptional items - 183 -------------------------------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------ -------- ------ Operating profit after exceptional items (322) 73 -------------------------------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------ -------- ------ Finance costs (48) (16) -------------------------------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------ -------- ------ (Loss)/profit for the year before taxation (370) 57 -------------------------------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------ -------- ------
5. Earnings per Share
The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year. In calculating the diluted earnings per share, any outstanding share options, warrants and convertible loans are taken into account where the impact of these is dilutive.
Six months Six months to to Year ended 30 June 30 June 31 December 2017 2016 2016 (i) Basic (Loss)/gain for the period (GBP'000) (307) 57 (1,734) Weighted average number of shares in issue (No.) 3,009,223 3,009,223 3,009,223 ----------- ----------- ------------- (Loss)/earnings per share (p) (10.2)p 1.9p (57.6p) (ii) Fully diluted (Loss)/gain for the period (GBP'000) (307) 57 (1,734) (Loss)/earnings for the period (GBP'000) (307) 57 (1,734) ----------- ----------- ------------- Weighted average number of shares in issue (No.) 3,009,223 3,009,223 3,009,223 3,009,223 3,009,223 3.009,223 Diluted Earnings per share (p)* (10.2)p 1.9p (57.6p)
* Diluted earnings per share in both 2017 and 2016 are the same as basic earnings per share, as the options in issue during these years have had no dilutive effect on continuing operations.
