Admission is sought as a result of a reverse takeover by the Company of Reef Television Limited. The Company is a multimedia producer of high quality TV and radio programmes together with integrated publishing and media content. The Company's principal country of operation is in the United Kingdom, but its customer base is international. The Company operates in three key segments: Broadcasting, Communications and Publishing.

Broadcasting

The Company's award-winning television broadcasting business produces high quality programming which is intelligent, engaging and entertaining and meets the needs of key broadcast customers. The Company's three production units - Blakeway, Brook Lapping and Films of Record - count the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky, HBO and Discovery among their clients.

The broadcasting business is also extending into new genres, including popular factual series, with the aim of increasing production hours and expanding co-production and re-sales internationally. The segment principally operates in the UK; however, is starting to expand internationally into the United States, China, Japan and Korea.

Communications

The Company's communications division manages corporate social responsibility websites and develops applications for global blue-chip organisations including BMW, Siemens, Nationwide and Transport for London. It is supported by a team with web development, design, animation and account management skills. The division is also aiming to expand into new areas of activity including the provision of video, animation and editorial content for corporate websites and social media, with a view to expanding into the wider digital content marketing and corporate communications sphere.

Publishing

The Company's UK-orientated publishing division targets business-to-business ("B2B") audiences in finance, SME business, healthcare, pharmacy, farming, trade and logistics. While historically the business was primarily print-oriented, the Company has recently begun developing digital channels and launching events as additional revenue streams.

Reverse takeover of Reef Television Limited

The Company is proposing to acquire Reef Television Limited ("Reef") for initial cash consideration of 2m and up to 3m deferred consideration to be satisfied in cash and the issue of new ordinary shares plus an additional amount of earn-out consideration.

Reef is a producer of content for multiple broadcasters in both peak time and daytime slots, which over the last 10 years has made many hundreds of hours of factual programmes for clients including the BBC, Channel 4, Discovery, ITV, Channel 5 and UKTV. Reef creates formats and develops ideas across a range of factual and entertainment programmes; especially in daytime UK TV, producing programmes such as 'Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is', 'Penelope Keith's Hidden Villages' and 'Selling Houses with Amanda Lamb'.
