1 UNIVERSAL OUTDOOR MEDIA GROUP PLC SEMI- ANNUAL ACCOUNTS STATEMENT AND MANAGEMENT REPORT (Unaudited)

2 INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT Chairman Statement Your Board announces the Group s unaudited interim results for the half-year ended 31 December These results are the consolidated unaudited accounts of Universal Outdoor Group plc (the Group ). The Group s turnover was 2,686,391 (up over 400% on the same period last year), with profit before tax of 189,056 compared to a loss for the same period last year of 288,587. The Company has reached a milestone in its development by delivering its maiden set of profitable results. Your Board has during the period successfully executed its stated strategy of growth through acquisition and has successfully integrated its media acquisitions to date. Following the end of the period the Group made a disposal of its investment in Instant Business Limited for 250,000. The Company (Instant Business Ltd) during the period had run into financial issues. Therefore your Board decided to dispose of its interest in the Company since the business was only a 60% subsidiary, was noncore to the Group strategy, was loss making and we didn t have any day to day management involvement or control. CEO Dominic Brookman commented 2014 was a key year in the development of our business where we have been focussed on integrating the media assets we have acquired, investing in new screen media hardware and growing the revenue in both local and national advertising sales. Going into 2015 we are confident of continued growth, profit and delivering positive shareholder returns. Corporate Strategy The Group remains focused on delivering long-term shareholder returns through exploiting acquisition and investment opportunities in Out of Home Media.
