CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Overview
The first six months of this year have been an extremely positive period for
your company Parallel Media Group plc (PMG), maintaining and growing the
business base in Asia.
The last 12 months have witnessed a significant growth in the luxury brand
market in Asia where companies such as Richemont, the Swatch Group and LVMH
have reported record growth. PMG has appointed Macquarie as its strategic
advisors to respond to this growth and to help build its sports and lifestyle
business across Asia. Macquarie has agreed to take its advisor fee in stock in
PMG.
The core of PMG's business has been, and will continue to be, in the short to
medium term, promoting successful Golfing Tournaments in mainstream Asian
Markets.
PMG has successfully promoted the third Ballantine's Championship in Korea,
Asia's most dynamic golf market. Within 3 years The Ballantine's Championship
has become Korea's largest and most prestigious Golf Tournament. PMG has
recently announced that it has extended its Sponsorship with Pernod Ricard
until 2013 and will be moving the Ballantine's Championship to Seoul from 2011
onward which will provide strong profit growth potential.
PMG has renegotiated its agreement with the PGA European Tour in relation to
the Hong Kong Open, extending its commercial involvement for a further three
years as part of an overall agreement with the PGA European Tour. As a part of
the overall agreement, PMG has been awarded a new date on the PGA European Tour
from 2012 onwards. Advanced discussions are underway to promote a new
Tournament in China from 2012.
PMG also manages the Kazakhstan Open and acts as a commercial partner and
advisor for the Omega Mission Hills World Cup of Golf in China.
PMG has also renewed the sponsorship for the Korean Ladies Masters with Daishin
Securities. Daishin Securities Korean Ladies Masters is co-sanctioned by the
Ladies European Tour. PMG has the Worldwide television rights for the LET. PMG
is in discussions to launch a new Ladies Golf Tournament in Korea from 2012.
As part of the "Macquarie review" PMG has identified other areas of potential
growth in the Asian lifestyle luxury market. Following on from its involvement
in the initial exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery, PMG has negotiated a long
term representation agreement of Korean Eye. Korean Eye has extended its
sponsorship with Standard Chartered enabling it to expand across the region in
2011 and 2012. The latest initiative is the launch of a new exhibition in
Singapore in October of this year.
PMG has also reached an agreement with All Sport to represent their interest in
Korea in relation to the new Formula 1 event in Korea.
In addition to these exciting business developments, your company has also been
able to restructure its Shareholding and Capital base. The majority of the
developments were approved at the General Meeting held on August 31st 2010.
I believe that these changes are crucial in enabling your company to raise
further funding to develop its growth. These changes are set out below and in
full in the Post Balance Sheet section of these results.
Financial Review
Turnover for the six months to 30 June 2010 increased 2% to £5.8million (2009:
£5.7million), due mainly to increased secondary sponsorship for the
Ballantine's Championship. The gross profit for the period increased 9% to £
1.5million (2009: £1.4 million). Gross margins are expected to continue
improving as events mature and demand for secondary sponsorship increases.
PMG is investing to build new long-term opportunities that have multi-year
revenue contracts, each providing a platform for growth in Asia and the
international market. In the period under review, development costs (the costs
incurred to create new events from which future revenues are expected) were £
0.22 million (2009: £0.13million); The operating profit for the period was £
0.37 million (2009: profit £0.27 million). The profit for the period after
finance costs and tax was £77,000 (2009: profit £ 60,000).
The cash balance at the 30 June 2010 was a positive £0.32 million (2009: £0.86
million). In July and August 2010, PMG agreed new bank facilities of £1.15
million repayable over 5 years, reduced short term debt and extended
convertible loans totalling £1.7 million to be convertible or repayable on or
before 31 December 2012.
The group generated £0.3million cash from operations during the period (2009: £
0.5 million) and is actively managing the demands for cash required for growth,
with the reduction of debt.
I am pleased to update you on the ongoing case of RAM Media Limited (in
administration) vs The Greek Ministry of Culture, which I have mentioned in
past reports. PMG is RAM Media's largest creditor and has received a total of £
0.52 million to date which is now expected to be the full and final settlement.
Post Balance Sheet Events
PMG commenced this business year with four corporate financial objectives:
restructure company borrowing; reach new terms with the Convertible Loan Note
holders; consolidate the number of shares in issue and bring new investment to
the Company by way of subscription for shares.
The conversion and settlement of the Convertible Loan notes that fell due for
payment on 1st July was announced on 30th June 2010 and highlighted in the 2009
Report and Accounts. On 5 July 2010, PMG issued ordinary shares in respect of
convertible loan liabilities and interest. The Company has reached agreement
with all remaining Convertible Loan Note holders totalling £1.7 million to
convert and/or repay the loans in December 2012.
On 6th August PMG announced a new banking facility with Lloyds Banking Group
Plc of £1.15 Million (with a £1 Million loan repayable over 5 years and £0.15
Million of overdraft facility). The loan was applied to repay short and medium
term debts.
On 2 September, following approval from shareholders on 31 August 2010, PMG
consolidated the ordinary share capital, such that the holders of every 220
ordinary shares of 0.01p each received 1 new ordinary share of 2.2p each. A
full analysis of Post Balance Sheet Events is provided in note 11 to these
unaudited interim results..
The successful completion of both the debt restructure and equity consolidation
now provides the platform for new investment in PMG and we expect to update
shareholders on this shortly. PMG has in principal agreement with the
outstanding convertible loan note holders that they will convert early into
equity on the introduction of new money.
Stakeholders
I would like to thank our board members, major stakeholders and staff who
continue to contribute to PMG's success. PMG has built a loyal, world class
team, whose dynamism enables us to offer expertise and support to a growing
international clientele of blue chip companies, tourist boards and brands.
