Chairman's statement
I am pleased to report a profit for the first half of 2012 in
line with the Board's expectations.
We announced the discontinuation of our TV distribution business
when Target Entertainment Ltd ("Target") was placed into
administration on 28 February 2012. Target had accumulated losses
and needed significant funding to meet its current liabilities and
acquire new programming in order to become profitable. In the
consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2011
we were required under IFRS to impair the assets of Target,
resulting in an exceptional charge of GBP6,937,000. Subsequently in
the first half of 2012, the net liabilities of Target have been
removed from the Group results, resulting in a profit from
discontinued operations of GBP5,195,000 (note 4). This has returned
the consolidated Statement of Financial Position to a net asset
position.
Placing Target into administration was a difficult decision and
the process involved a considerable amount of management time. Both
of the continuing business segments were profitable in the first
half, at underlying EBITDA level, resulting in an underlying EBITDA
of GBP139,000 (H1 2011: GBP101,000). We can now focus all our
attention on the stability and growth of the continuing businesses
of UK film distribution and worldwide sales agency.
Business Environment
The British Video Association has reported that the video
entertainment market for the six months to the end of June 2012 was
down 6.8% year on year. Within that market however digital video
spending was up 15.2% and seems to be accelerating as the second
quarter was up nearly 20%. Although declining steadily, the
physical DVD market still represents 83% of the video entertainment
market year to date.
The emergence of the digital market is expected to continue as
new entrants (e.g. Netflix) broaden the market and new hardware
(YouView and Google TV) plus the continuing sales of smart TVs into
the home, improves the connectivity between the TV and the
internet.
Both Metrodome Distribution and Hollywood Classics are well
positioned to exploit this growth in the digital market but will
retain their presence in the DVD market which will remain a
significant market for some years to come.
The squeeze on household incomes caused by tax increases and
relatively high inflation combined with unemployment and
constrained salary increases also impact the performance of the
entertainment markets. However, the theatrical (cinema) market has
again shown great resilience, with the Film Distributors
Association reporting cinema admissions in the UK up 0.92% year on
year.
Hollywood Classics operates in the worldwide market whereas
Metrodome Distribution operates in the UK and Eire. Whilst it is
difficult to get industry data for the worldwide market, evidence
suggests the economic problems in the Eurozone and general global
austerity programmes are suppressing market growth.
Financial results
Total revenues from continuing operations of GBP4,322,000 were
3% higher than the same period last year (H1 2011: GBP4,187,000).
GBP679,000 of these revenues was due to the acquisition of
Hollywood Classics which was acquired in August 2011. UK film
distribution revenues fell by 13% compared to the same period last
year which continues to highlight the competitive climate in the UK
DVD market.
The Group's gross margin percentage improved from 30% to 40% due
to the impact of Hollywood Classics, which, as a sales agency, is a
higher margin business because only the sales agency commission is
recognised as revenue. The UK film distribution margin of 31% is
broadly in line with last year (30 June 2011: 30%, 31 December
2011: 31%).
Net cash at 30 June 2012 has slightly decreased since the year
end to GBP631,000 (GBP710,000 as at 31 December 2011 and GBP3,000
as at 30 June 2011) as cash generated from continuing operations
has been invested in acquiring new product.
Operating performance
Metrodome had five theatrical releases in the first half of the
year. The highlights were In Darkness, nominated for an Oscar for
best foreign language film in 2012, and A Royal Affair, the
successful period drama starring Mads Mikkelsen and Alicia
Vikander. These films were the highest grossing Polish and Danish
language films ever released in the UK. A Royal Affair is one of
the top foreign language films at the UK box office in 2012.
Key titles released on DVD in the first half were:
-- Crusaders
-- Before the Fall
-- Grave Encounters
-- Innkeepers
-- Resistance
A full breakdown of the Group's total revenue is as follows:

Review of Current Trading
The UK film distribution segment continues to develop bespoke
release strategies on a film by film basis, to maximise revenues
for all stakeholders across all UK rights, with an emphasis on
higher quality films. The release schedules for the second half of
2012 reflect this strategy and are as follows:
Theatrical
-- Jackpot (August) - Scandinavian thriller based on a story by Jo Nesbo
-- Room 237 (October) - documentary feature on The Shining
DVD Retail Titles:- major releases
-- In Darkness (July) - Oscar nominated
-- Dungeons & Dragons 3 (September)
-- Lovely Molly (October)
-- Saints & Soldiers 2 (October)
-- St George's Day (December)
Hollywood Classics is a worldwide sales agency selling primarily
into Europe and Asia, specialising in selling rights of classic
films owned by both major US studios and independent rights
holders. The economic problems experienced within Europe
specifically have impacted on our sales albeit this was mainly
experienced within the last few weeks of the six month trading
period. It has been somewhat difficult to achieve sales to the TV
channels however DVD markets have been very resilient and performed
satisfactorily.
We are not expecting the economic environment to improve
particularly in the second half and are therefore concentrating on
sales from our existing library as well as trying to acquire new
library product where possible. We are also working on both local
and international digital theatrical sales opportunities although
it is not expected that these will be very significant in the
second half of this year due to the lead times and release
schedules.
Outlook
We see co-production and self-financing of low-budget film
production as an ideal way to secure product for the UK home
entertainment market and benefit from international sales. This is
a low risk way of accessing premium content for domestic release at
lower investment levels than the traditional route and diversifies
risk through international sales. Our first self-financed project,
"The Borderlands", is a found footage horror film currently in
post-production and scheduled for release in early 2013. Our
strategic plan includes two more films in production by the end of
2012 and up to four further films in 2013.
We continue to seek other suitable opportunities to strengthen
our current operations and broaden our range of activities.

Metrodome Group plc
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 30 June 2012
1. General information
Metrodome Group plc is a company incorporated and domiciled in
the United Kingdom.
2. Accounting policies
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared under the historical cost convention on a going
concern basis and in accordance with the recognition and
measurement principles of International Financial Reporting
Standards and IFRIC interpretations ("IFRS") as adopted by the
EU.
These financial statements are presented in pounds sterling
since that is the currency in which the majority of the Group's
transactions are denominated.
The financial information in this interim report does not
constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of
the Companies Act 2006. The financial information contained in this
interim report has been neither audited nor reviewed by the
auditor. 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, did not contain an
emphasis of matter and did not contain a statement under section
498(2) and 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2011 have
been derived from the statutory accounts for that year.
Basis of new and revised standards
The annual financial statements of Metrodome Group plc are
prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union.
The same accounting policies are used for the six months ended 30
June 2012 as were used for the year ended 31 December 2011.
The assessment of new standards, amendments and interpretations
issued but not effective, is that these are not anticipated to have
a material impact on the annual financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2012.
3. Operating segments
The Group has two operating segments. The first operating
segment, Metrodome Distribution, is based on its original business
activity of UK film distribution. The second segment, Hollywood
Classics, reflects Hollywood Classics Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary
acquired on 11 August 2011. The discontinued operations reflects
Target Entertainment Limited (and its subsidiaries), a 100% owned
subsidiary which was placed into administration on 28 February
2012.

4. Discontinued operations
Target Entertainment Ltd 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 become profitable. Metrodome decided
it was not in the best interests of the Group 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.

6. Earnings / (loss) per share
The earnings / (loss) per share is based on the consolidated
profit / (loss) after taxation and the weighted average number of
shares in the period of 280,567,915 (30 June 2011: 184,717,915 and
31 December 2011: 220,661,665).
Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same at the period
end because the exercise price was greater than the share price.
Basic and diluted earnings per share in the prior periods are also
the same because the effect on the loss for the period would be
anti-dilutive.
7. Dividends
As in prior periods the directors are not recommending payment
of a dividend.
8. Reconciliation of profit / (loss) from operations to net cash from operating activities
