In
the three months ended March 31, 2007, we reported growth in both Segment
Net Revenues and Segment EBITDA of 22% compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2006, delivering a Segment EBITDA margin of 27%, in line with
that reported in the three months ended March 31, 2006 (Segment EBITDA is
defined and reconciled to our consolidated results in Item 1, Note
16).
|
·
|
Other
than our operations in Ukraine each of our stations reported revenue
growth in excess of 20% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006,
with particularly strong growth reported in Croatia and the Slovak
Republic. Our operations in Ukraine experienced a decline in Segment Net
Revenues and Segment EBITDA because the results for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 reflected a windfall from the level of political
advertising ahead of the Ukrainian parliamentary elections in March
2006.
|
·
|
On
February 20, 2007, we acquired control of TV Sport, an
operator of a sports-oriented channel focusing on local and international
football, international boxing and a number of local Romanian sports (see
Item 1, Note 3). In April 2007 we rebranded TV SPORT as
Sport.ro.
|
·
|
On
April 11, 2007 we issued a notice to redeem our floating rate Senior Notes
on May 15, 2007 at a cost of EUR 127.5 million (see Item 1, Note
19).
|
·
|
On
April 18, 2007 we drew down the entire EUR 100.0 million available under
our facility with the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (see
Item 1, Note 19).

Segment Net Revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by US$ 3.4 million, or
90%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. In
local currency, Segment Net Revenues increased by 73%. Spot
revenues increased by US$ 2.0 million, or 64%, as a result of a
significant increase in the volume of GRPs sold, particularly in prime
time, augmented by increased prices. Non-spot revenues
increased by US$ 1.5 million, or 192%, as a result of increased levels of
sponsorship.
|
·
|
Segment EBITDA for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 was a loss of US$ 4.7 million compared
to a loss of US$ 4.4 million in the three months ended March 31,

Segment Net Revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by US$ 11.0 million, or
27%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. In
local currency, Segment Net Revenues increased by 14%. Spot
revenues increased by $13.2 million, or 40%, primarily due to an increase
in the volume of GRPs sold, particularly in off-prime time, as well as
increased average revenue per rating point sold. Non-spot revenue
decreased by US$ 2.3 million, or 32%, primarily due to a reduction in the
number of shows generating voting revenue in the three months ended March
31, 2007 compared to those programs broadcast in the three months ended
March 31, 2006.

to the three months ended March 31, 2006. Cost of programming
decreased by US$ 2.2 million, or 14%, due to better cost control in
production and the cancellation of several expensive one-off programs
broadcast during the three months ended March 31, 2006 as part of TV
Nova’s operational restructuring. Other operating costs
increased by US$ 1.0 million, or 16%, primarily due to exchange rate
movements. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased by US$ 0.7 million, or 10%, primarily due to reductions in
marketing and research costs.

Segment Net Revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by US$ 9.5 million, or
32%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. Spot revenues
increased by US$ 8.4 million, or 30%, driven primarily by increases in the
average revenue per rating point sold in each of our three existing
channels, which more than offset a slight decline in the volume of GRPs
sold. Non-spot revenues increased by US$ 1.1 million, or 62%, primarily
due to increased cable tariff revenue. The acquisition of TV Sport added
approximately US$ 0.4 million to our revenues for the three months ended
March 31, 2007.

Segment EBITDA for the

compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, with an EBITDA margin
of 38% compared to 39% in the three months ended March 31,
2006. Costs charged in arriving at Segment EBITDA for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 increased by US$ 5.9 million, or 33%, compared
to the three months ended March 31, 2006. Cost of programming
grew by US$ 5.8 million, or 50%, due partially to the inclusion of the
salary-related costs of production staff within cost of programming rather
than operating costs; excluding the impact of this change in
classification, cost of programming increased by US$ 4.0 million, or 34%,
as a result of increased market competition and investment in quality
programming. Other operating costs decreased by US$ 0.1
million, or 2%, after the difference in classification described above;
excluding the impact of this change in classification, other operating
costs increased by US$ 1.7 million, or 38%, primarily due to increased
staffing costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased by US$ 0.2 million, or 13%, primarily due to increased office
running costs. The acquisition of TV Sport did not have a
significant impact on our Segment EBITDA for the three months ended March
31, 2007.

Segment Net Revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by US$ 7.5 million, or
67%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. In
local currency, Segment Net Revenues increased by 61%. The
increase in Segment Net Revenues was due to an increase of US$ 7.8
million, or 75%, in spot revenues partially offset by a decline of US$ 0.3
million, or 33%, in non-spot revenues. The increase in spot
revenues is mainly due to increases in the average revenue per rating
point sold, particularly in prime time, as well as an increase in the
volume of advertising spots sold . Our advertising revenues
benefited from the launch of a new mobile phone operator during the three
months ended March 31, 2007, as well as increased spending from existing
customers, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector. Segment
Net Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 included
approximately US$ 1.8 million in respect of the period prior to
acquisition on January 23, 2006 when Markiza was accounted for as an
equity affiliate.

months ended March 31, 2006 included a charge of US$ 0.7 million to write
off an unsuccessful show. Other operating costs increased by
US$ 0.6 million, or 16%, primarily due to increased staff costs of US$ 0.4
million and increased broadcast and operating expenses of US$ 0.2
million. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
by US$ 0.5 million, or 36%, primarily due to increased office running
costs and increased marketing and research costs. Costs charged

May 2005, we issued Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of EUR
370.0 million consisting of EUR 245.0 million of 8.25% Senior Notes due
May 2012 and EUR 125.0 million of floating rate Senior Notes due May 2012,
which bear interest at six-month Euro Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”)
plus 5.50% (9.23% was applicable at March 31, 2007). Interest
is payable semi-annually in arrears on each May 15 and November
15.
|
(2)
|
On
July 21, 2006, we entered into a five-year revolving loan agreement for
EUR 100.0 million (approximately US$ 133.2 million) arranged by the
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the
“Loan”). ING Bank N.V. (“ING”) and Ceska Sporitelna, a.s.
(“CS”) are participating in the facility for up to EUR 50.0 million in
aggregate.
|
(3)
|
On
March 28, 2007, we repaid EUR 0.6 million (approximately US$ 0.8 million)
which had been drawn by our Croatia operations under two loan agreements
with Hypo Alpe-Adria Bank d.d. The security held by the bank was also
released.
|
(4)
|
CET
21 has a four-year credit facility of CZK 1.2 billion (approximately US$
57.1 million) with Ceska Sporitelna, a.s. (“CS”). The final
repayment date is October 31, 2009. This facility may, at the
option of CET 21, be drawn in CZK, US$ or EUR and bears interest at the
three-month, six-month or twelve-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate
(“LIBOR”), EURIBOR or Prague Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“PRIBOR”) rate plus
1.95%. This facility is secured by a pledge of receivables,
which are also subject to a factoring arrangement with Factoring Ceska
Sporitelna, a.s., a subsidiary of CS. As at March 31, 2007,
there were no drawings under this
facility.
|
(5)
|
CET
21 has a working capital credit facility of CZK 250.0 million
(approximately US$ 11.9 million) with CS, which matures on April 30,
2007. This working capital facility bears interest at the
three-month PRIBOR rate plus 1.65%. On April 7, 2007 this facility was
extended to April 30, 2008. This facility is secured by a pledge of
receivables, which are also subject to a factoring arrangement with
Factoring Ceska Sporitelna, a.s. As at March 31, 2007, the full
CZK 250.0 million (approximately US$ 11.9 million) was drawn under this
facility bearing interest at an aggregate 4.22% (the applicable
three-month PRIBOR rate at March 31, 2007 was
2.57%).
|
(6)
|
As
at March 31, 2007, there were no drawings under a CZK 600.0 million
(approximately US$ 28.5 million) factoring facility with Factoring Ceska
Sporitelna, a.s., a subsidiary of CS. This facility is
available until March 31, 2010 and bears interest at the rate of one-month
PRIBOR plus 1.40% for the period that actively assigned accounts
receivable are outstanding. On April 11, 2007 the size of this facility
was reduced from CZK 600.0 million to CZK 300.0
million.

A
revolving five-year facility agreement was entered into by Pro Plus for up
to EUR 37.5 million (approximately US$ 49.9 million) in aggregate
principal amount with ING Bank N.V., Nova Ljubljanska Banka d.d.,
Ljubljana and Bank Austria Creditanstalt d.d., Ljubljana. The
facility availability amortizes by 10.0% each year for four years
commencing one year after signing, with 60.0% repayable after five
years. This facility is secured by a pledge of the bank
accounts of Pro Plus, the assignment of certain receivables, a pledge of
our interest in Pro Plus and a guarantee of our wholly-owned subsidiary
CME Media Enterprises B.V. Loans drawn under this facility will
bear interest at a rate of EURIBOR for the period of drawing plus a margin
of between 2.10% and 3.60% that varies according to the ratio of
consolidated net debt to consolidated broadcasting cash flow for Pro
Plus. As at March 31, 2007, EUR 33.8 million (approximately US$

facility; there were no drawings
