Media Content PLC 25 November 1999 Media Content PLC Preliminary Results for the year ended 30 June 1999 Summary £ Turnover 40,555 Loss after taxation (1,061,194) Loss per ordinary share (£ per share) (0.005) Chairman's Statement It is with great pleasure I announce the first annual results of Media Content PLC. It has been an exciting year featuring a number of watershed events for our new company: (1)The incorporation of Media Content Limited on 2 September 1998 by seasoned media executives to take advantage of a need for advisory services and partnerships in the fast developing sports media rights market. (2)The development of the company's offer in the marketplace, and the initial relationships with clients. (3)The acquisition of Media Content Limited by Wilmslow PLC, and the name change to Media Content PLC. As a new entity in a fast growing market, we are very pleased with the progress of the company. Revenues for the financial year total £40,555. The principal source of revenues in the period was fees garnered for advisory services with clients such as the World Wrestling Federation and the International Football Channel. Expenses for the period totalled £833,826 which, net of interest income, produced a net loss of £1,061,194. These results, as well as those which will be announced for the following half year, represent the results of the company's investment period. As we look to the future, Media Content expects that the underlying market it serves will continue to grow, and that the value of sports media rights will continue to appreciate. Media Content is positioned to add value to these rights, to expand its role in the market and to carve out a place for itself as a first mover in a number of key market areas. In addition to its activities in traditional sports media rights, a significant level of Media Content's activity in the market is based upon positioning itself to advise and partner the key companies at the dawn of new market opportunities such as the internet and capture the value of these activities for its shareholders. I am confident that this activity will produce the desired results, and look forward to an exciting year.
