Trading Statement

Media Corporation PLC
                  

               Media Corporation plc ('Media Corp' or the 'Group')

                                    (AIM:MDC)

                                 Trading Update

The Board of Media Corp is pleased to announce that the re-organisation and
restructuring of the Group that commenced following the US internet gambling ban
at the end of 2006 is now complete and the business is now organised into two
divisions: Internet Publishing and Advertising sales.

Following a strategic review and analysis of the internet advertising market,
the Board has approved a business plan to invest up to £1 million of its
existing cash resources in expanding its businesses during 2008. The Group had
cash balances of £6.3 million at the financial year end, 30 September 2007 and
this may be enhanced by a further £0.625 million in March 2008 if the earn out
provisions relating to the Casino.co.uk sale are met.

The Board believes this investment is essential to ensure that the Group
maximises the opportunity presented by the unprecedented growth of the online
advertising sector. The change in strategy and investment needed in the near
term will mean that although gross profit is still in line with market
expectations net profit will be lower. However, it is anticipated this
investment will generate accelerated revenue and profit growth for the Group
going forward.

Headcount in the advertising sales division is anticipated to increase to 40
people (from the current 20 staff) by the end of 2008 as the Group broadens its
current offering to incorporate site representation, new display and video
advertising formats. The majority of these new hires will be experienced
advertising sales executives and sales support staff.

In the publishing division, the Group's investment will be focused on building
an experienced in-house editorial and technical team, and increasing third party
content deals. This expansion is essential as the Group expands its current
offering and launches its internet portals into new markets. The majority of
this investment will be focused on enhancing our key portal assets which the
board believes have significant value in excess of the current market
capitalisation.

Justin Drummond, Chief Executive of Media Corp. commented:

'The Group is operating in the fast growing internet advertising market which is
estimated to have reached £3.4 Billion and accounted for 24.8% of all UK media
spend in 2008. In 2009 Internet advertising spend is predicted to overtake TV
advertising' (source: Group M).

'With the Group's significant cash resources of £6.3 million at the financial
year end, it is essential that we invest in seizing the significant opportunity
presented by the growth and potential of the online advertising market'.
