FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
31 December 2008
BELLA MEDIA Plc
(the "Company" or "Bella Media")
Unaudited Results for the year ended 30 June 2008
CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
Business Review
The year to 30 June 2008 saw the conversion of the Company from an IMAX development company to an investment company focussing on
acquisition and investment opportunities in the energy and resources sector, following the disposal of the IMAX development activities
(carried out through the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, Bella Media Inc) to management on 27 December 2007.
The background and reasons for this were explained fully in the disposal circular at the time and were amplified in my Chairman's
Statement accompanying the interim results for the half year to 31 December 2007. I do not propose therefore to repeat those explanations.
Future Developments
Since then the Board has reviewed a number of potential opportunities, none of which have as yet come to fruition. We continue to review
such opportunities and are hopeful of bringing one such to fruition and of proposing it to shareholders for approval.
Since this has not proved possible within twelve months of the disposal of the Company's business, it has been necessary for the
Company's shares to be suspended from trading on AIM.
Financial Review
Commenting on the Company's results, the balance sheet at 30 June 2008 reflects the disposal of the Company's operating business and the
fund-raising which took place at the same time. Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment as shown in the previous year's balance
sheet were disposed of with the operating business, while construction loans and other non-current liabilities, together with the greater
part of trade creditors also went with the operating business. Trade creditors at the year end largely comprise professional creditors and
also, it should be noted, accrued directors' emoluments, as the Directors have agreed to defer their remuneration until a substantive
transaction is completed.
The Company's cash position and net assets showed a material improvement over the position as at 30 June 2007, net assets rising from
�250,569 to �397,687.
Turning to the Consolidated Income Statement, administrative expenses reflect a period of virtually six months during which the IMAX
development activities remained part of the Group and six months as a pure investment company; expenses in the second half of the year were
therefore materially lower than those in the first half. Exceptional items comprised �63,872 of costs associated with the disposal of Bella
Media Inc and a reduction in costs of �21,864 resulting from a compromise agreement with certain parent company creditors during the period.
The operating loss for the year showed a substantial reduction when compared to the previous year, and the loss per share has been virtually
halved.
The Directors continue to maintain the Company on a very modest cost base and, as stated earlier, hope to be able to progress a
substantive transaction to completion as soon as possible.
