results for the year ended 31 March 2010: 
Highlights

million). 
·      Revenue fell to GBP19.88 million (2009: GBP40.90 million) due to the

from 2% of the opening NAV as at 1 April 2009 to 1% of the opening NAV for the 
year ended 31 March 2010. 
·      IFC was consolidated into the Network 18 Group during the financial year. 
 This is expected to allow the Group to leverage the Network 18 Group's industry 
leading position and access to capital. 
·      Agreement reached between United Producers and Distributors Forum and the 
key multiplex cinema chains in India, which is expected to result in increased 
future revenues from the domestic box office. 
·      The Group released nine films during the year, including "Shortkut - The 
Con is On", "Luck", "Life Partner", "Fruit 'N' Nut", "Striker", "Road, Movie" 
and "Hum Tum Aur Ghost". These were a combination of acquisitions, 
co-productions and productions.

·      Revenues from satellite rights sales improved over the last quarter of

Outlook 
·      Positive growth is expected in 2010, due to cost optimisation strategies 
and the improved economic environment. 
·      Revenue from the sale of television syndication rights is expected to 
increase, due to improved advertising conditions and improvements in the 
performance of television channels. 
·      Based on the FICCI-KPMG Indian Media and Entertainment Industry Report 
2010, the number of digital screens has expanded to over 3,000 and is expected 
to increase significantly in the future, which should increase theatrical 
revenues and also reduce piracy. 
·      New media and the fast growing mobile value added services offers further 
revenue streams for the Group. 
·      The overall media and entertainment market in India is expected to grow 
at a compound annual growth rate of 13% per annum through 2014 to reach INR 1.09

| It is well known throughout the world that the global economy witnessed the worst financial crisis since the Great Industrial Depression of the 1930s. The subprime crisis that emerged in the US housing mortgage market in 2007 snowballed into a global financial crisis, leading to a global economic recession and the financial landscape changed significantly after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008. Consequently, the world saw a huge contraction in demand and consumption. India too felt the external demand shocks with the Indian economy witnessing a moderation in growth in the second half of the financial year ended 31 March 2009, in comparison with the robust growth performance in the preceding five years. Domestic demand contracted and household spending reduced. However, towards the latter part of the calendar year 2009, the Indian economy showed signs of recovery with an increase in domestic demand and consumer spending. |

| The Indian film industry did not remain unaffected by such macroeconomic factors. Domestic demand and spending remained under pressure, the box-office performance of several big budget films was generally poor, which was accentuated by a two month-long stand-off between producers and multiplex owners which was subsequently resolved in June 2009. All these factors contributed to calendar year 2009 being a difficult year for the industry as a whole.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    | 
| The financial crisis also had a major impact on the marketing and advertising expenditure of companies. Most corporates cut their marketing and advertising budgets drastically. As a result, the producers and film studios experienced a significant decrease in the prices of satellite rights of their films. Music and home video markets also witnessed a huge contraction with an overall negative impact on the various streams of revenues available for monetisation of film rights.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

| While exploitation of films and film rights became more difficult, the Indian film industry also saw a considerable reduction in the number of projects launched during the financial year ended 31 March 2010. Reduced capital flows and increased dependence on box office revenues resulted in a reduced number of projects going into production.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

| The Indian film industry showed negative growth in the calendar year 2009 due to the many reasons stated above. The size of the Indian film industry was INR 89 billion (GBP1.31 billion) in calendar year 2009, down from INR 104 billion in calendar year 2008; a contraction of 14.42%(1). Consequently, the financial year ended 31 March 2010 saw poor box office performances for almost all of the Group's films released in this period. The inability of the content to strike a chord with the audience coupled with the two month-long stand-off between producers and multiplex owners resulting in shorter release windows and the drying up of other revenue streams, resulted in disappointing performances for the year ended 31 March 2010.                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |

| The financial year ended 31 March 2010 was a difficult year for the Indian film industry. The year started with the multiplex-producer stand-off leaving the industry with significant losses. The swine flu scare also kept audiences away from movie theatres in early 2009. Most importantly, a lack of good sustainable content affected the success ratio and fortunes of the industry.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |

| Over the last two years, the Group has witnessed a substantial increase in acquisition costs which has affected the economic and commercial viability of films. Talent costs for key actors and directors have also increased significantly. The poor performance of content in the financial year ended 31 March 2010 and the losses suffered by most of the films released during the year are forcing all players in the industry to relook at the current business model and consider implementing the Hollywood model, where key talent charge a minimum upfront fee but take a larger share in the film earnings post release.   |

| Liquidity pressures have made it difficult for producers and studios to raise debt or equity for funding new projects. This has resulted in a reduction of the number of projects going into production.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

| The Group continues to have a strong focus on its productions and co-productions and also continues to evaluate film projects for acquisition, co-production and own productions. The films currently in pre-production and production phase are progressing as scheduled. The Group also has an increased focus on creating and maintaining a script bank which can be used to mount its own productions. The industry players and even the key talent have recognised that quality of the script is one of the key factors for the success of a film and hence increased focus is now being placed on the script.                    |

| The film industry has witnessed increased competition during the financial year ended 31 March 2010. Quality content was sparse and hence the bidding wars on these films were very aggressive and competitive. With industry veterans already in competition, the number of corporates and newly set up film funds has increased and become much more active in the industry. While on one hand the industry needs to optimise cost and make projects available at a price level that can make films profitable, the entry of new players has generally led to price inflation of quality content.                                    |
