Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%">Inventories

Inventories are valued
at the lower of cost or market, with cost principally determined on an average basis. Inventories principally consist of DVD’s and magazines held for sale or resale.

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Library of Photographs & Videos

The items in the library comprise our content used for
distribution on various formats. Currently these are principally DVD, IPTV, cable & satellite television and broadband (for films) and magazines and Internet broadband (for photos). All our content is sold or licensed repeatedly, unlike
inventory items which are sold only once. Furthermore the content is not only sold on one particular release, or issue, but is also re-edited and included for sale on compilations such as “Best of.” titles and publications.

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%">The film library is sold or licensed on various formats such as DVD, television, and Internet, in different markets and territories. The current rate of
technological advance means that we are continually finding new distribution platforms for our content. Recent examples of this would be IPTV and broadcasting via digital cable and satellite television with pay-per-view (PPV) and video-on-demand
(VOD) abilities. The film library includes: a) films, which represent the content, i.e., the edited movie including soundtrack. b) translations, sound dubbing, & sub-titles, which are required to customize each movie in terms of language
for all territories, and c) Digital Manipulation for DVD Masters, which is required to digitize the movie and create menus and language options in order to produce a master to be used to duplicate DVDs from.

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%">The photo library comprises purchased photographic material used for print and internet publications. Our photographic material is used initially in one
issue of our four principal magazine titles. However it will normally subsequently be used in later special editions. The print publications are typically printed once and thereafter they are sold over a period of several years, as discussed later.
Internet publications are sold via membership fees charged at the Company’s websites. Photos are also licensed to other internet and print publishers.

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The library of photographs and videos, including rights for photographs and videos as well as translation and dubbing of video material, is reflected at the lower of amortized cost or net realizable value. The cost is
amortized on a straight-line basis over 3-5 years representing the estimated useful life of the asset, except for photos which are amortized on a sliding-scale basis over three years. Estimated future revenues are periodically reviewed and,
revisions may be made to amortization rates or write-downs made to the asset’s net realizable value as a result of significant changes in future revenue estimates. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business, less estimated costs to complete and exploit in a manner consistent with realization of that income.
