These new client relationships will begin to impact revenue during Q1 2012, signalling a strong beginning for the new financial year.

The Group's London front of house and fascia display operations, Newman Displays Limited, has also performed strongly over the last three months. This included providing our service for all the events at the London Film Festival and the premieres for Twilight Breaking Dawn, Puss In Boots, Arthur Christmas, Sherlock Holmes and Mission Impossible. Additionally, this division has now taken on the responsibility for theatre refurbishments for the Harold Pinter Theatre, Phoenix Theatre, Fortune Theatre, Oxford Apollo Theatre, Fortune Theatre, Queens Theatre and the Palace Theatre Watford.

Deferred Consideration

The Group is pleased to advise that the third and final financial performance year for the purposes of calculating the remaining deferred consideration payments due to the vendor of Spot and Company of Manhattan Inc ("Spotco") under the terms of the acquisition agreement dated 8 August 2008 has concluded. The result of the final calculation is to reduce the estimated liability in respect of the total remaining deferred consideration payable by $1.927 million to $4.112 million (approximately GBP2.672 million). On a related note, the Board announces that it has reached agreement with the vendor of Spotco to defer the earn-out payment, which was due to be made on 31 October 2011 to 30 June 2012. This payment will constitute the final payment of deferred consideration for Spotco.

Change of Accounting Reference Date

The Group notifies the market that it intends to change its accounting reference date from 30 November to 31 December with immediate effect. Therefore the next set of consolidated audited accounts will be drawn up for the 13-month period from 1 December 2010 to 31 December 2011. The change is being made to align the Group's accounting and reporting dates to ones more relevant to the media sector and to align the reporting dates of the remaining core businesses within the Group following the restructuring and disposals undertaken during 2011.

Jeremy Barbera, CEO of Pivot Entertainment, says:

"Once again the Group has continued to attract new, high profile clients and this will have a positive impact on our full year revenues. The reduction in liabilities caps a successful year in which we have transformed the business into a transatlantic media and entertainment Company."
