("DQE" or the "Group")

Indian subsidiary financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended 31 December 2014

DQE Entertainment (International) Limited ("DQE India" or "the Company"), the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange of India listed, production and distribution company, which is 75 per cent owned by DQE, has announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended 31 December 2014, prepared under Indian GAAP.

Financial highlights for the third quarter ended 31 December 2014:

Revenue: INR 457.10 m (Dec 2013: INR 508.51 m)

   o            From Production: INR 226.10 m (Dec 2013: INR 378.84 m) 
   o            From Distribution: INR 231.00 m (Dec 2013: INR 129.67 m) 

EBITDA: INR 246.89 m (Dec 2013: INR 224.00 m)

Profit before tax : INR 101.58 m (Dec 2013: INR 56.42 m)

Adjusted Profit before tax*: INR 63.97 m (Dec 2013: INR 57.37 m)

Adjusted Profit after Tax*: INR 42.38 m (Dec 2013: INR (12.39) m)

*Adjusted profit before and after tax is after the elimination of a foreign exchange gain of INR 37.61 m for the quarter ended 31 December 2014 and a foreign exchange loss of INR 0.95 m for the quarter ended 31 December 2013.

DQ Entertainment (Mauritius) Limited ("DQE Mauritius"), which has a 75% holding in DQE India, executed a fundraising by way of an issue of senior secured convertible bonds (the "Bonds") on 9 December 2014. DQE Mauritius has received the first tranche of funding from the issue of the Bonds, which represents USD 31.4 m, net of fundraising related expenses. Of this sum, approximately USD 8.2 m has been used to repay bank loans, together with interest and other financial charges.

The Company is making progress with the recovery of receivables. As at 31 December 2014, the amount of outstanding receivables due for payment for more than 360 days stood at INR 2067.6 m. As at the first week of February 2015, DQE India had recovered INR 326.63 m of this sum and another INR 300 m is expected to be recovered by 31 March 2015. The Company has received commitments from certain of its clients which lead the Board of DQE India to believe that it may be possible to significantly reduce old receivables by September 2015.

As a result of the working capital difficulties that the Company faced during the quarter ended 31 December 2014, some productions have been delayed and new productions that were scheduled to commence have yet to go onto the floor. Accordingly there has been a fall in production revenue.

The productions of Lassie and Robin Hood have been completed and this has given a boost to our distribution revenue, which has close to doubled from INR 129.67 m in the previous corresponding quarter to INR 231.0 m in the current quarter.

As indicated in DQE's announcement of 14 November 2014, the market for the Group's services generally remains buoyant. However, delays in the commencement of productions lead the Board of DQE to expect that Group revenues and profits before tax for the year to 31 March 2015 will be materially lower than the same market expectations that were in place at the time of the Group's November 2014 announcement.

Operating highlights

The Company's digital monetisation efforts are gathering momentum, with Power Kids and Tiny Toonz expanding their subscriber bases on a continual basis. Our plans to launch content and games on other popular digital platforms such as the Google play store, Amazon and iTunes are also underway. Power Kids showcases animated content for children aged five and above, whereas Tiny Toonz is aimed at younger children. Both channels have now started gaining traction and have recently achieved a total of over 120,000 online views on a daily basis.

Our VFX team has completed several projects for locally produced Live Action feature films, such as Manikya, Alludu srinu, Mukunda and several others. We have also confirmed new contracts with other feature film producers. DQE is now in a position to leverage its core animation and VFX strengths to contract more business in this space from North America and Europe

  is lower to the extent of Rs. 19.41 mn. Further an amount of Rs. 
  44.79 mn (Net of Deferred taxes Rs 30.25 mn) representing the 
  carrying amount of the asset with revised useful life as NIL has 
  been charged to the opening balance of retained earnings as on 
  April 1, 2014.
