Commenting on the announcement, Martin Eberhardt, the Chief Executive stated:
"Although challenging, 2007 was a year in which we laid the foundations for growth. Since the year end, the Company has continued to
invest in facilities equipment and we now have 5 fleets in use compared to just three at the time of the AIM admission. In February we
acquired the contract for The Bill which has significantly added to our turnover and the appointment of a dedicated events manager has
resulted in new business being won with pop festivals. After a period of lower than expected activity in the first four months of 2008, the
sales, there has been a marked improvement in current trading and the sales pipeline. The Board remains confident of an improved performance
in the second half."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to present our full results for 2007, our first since the Company's admission to AIM. The year was one of mixed fortunes
with growth in facilities sales more than offset by decline in catering with the consequence that overall sales for the year declined 2% to
�1,019,000 (2006: �1,117,000). As we stated at the time of the admission, the catering services market has proved challenging and the result
was a 31% decline in sales to �419,000 (2006: �604,000) for this part of the business. In contrast, facilities sales grew 31% to �672,000
(2006: �513,000), in line with management expectations. Gross profit increased by 76% to �367,000 (2006 �209,000) reflecting the change in
the sales mix to the higher margin facilities services business.
Higher trading expenses are due mainly to an increase in staffing as the Company laid the foundations for future growth. The Company
also incurred head office costs of �95,000 (2006: �nil) most of which relates to the costs of being a quoted company. As a result, the
Company registered a loss of �91,000, before the costs of the re-organisation and admission which totalled �128,000.
Higher net interest charges at �42,000 (2006: �19,000) reflected a full years leasing charge in 2007 on facilities taken up during
2006.
As a result of the above, a loss before tax of �261,000 was incurred compared to profits of �65,000 in 2006. Loss per share was 1.0p.
In addition to the re-organisation and admission costs of �128,000 in the Income Statement, further costs of �377,000 were incurred in
the admission of the Company which were written off to Share Premium account.
The Company raised �473,000 net of expenses in a placing at the time of the admission. Of this, �176,000 was invested in the facilities
and catering fleet and �88,000 was used to repay certain finance leases. Cash at bank was �276,000 (2006: �4,000) and the net cash/(debt)
position was �66,000 (2006: �(299,000)). Net assets at 31 December 2007 were �382,000 (2006: �45,000).
The first quarter is traditionally a slow period, however 2008 saw an even slower start than expected due to the after effects of the
writers' strike in the USA and postponements of new production commissions by both the BBC and ITV. The sales trend has recently much
improved with sharply higher sales during May and June. The development of our facilities and catering fleet continued with expenditure of
�176,000 during 2007 and further investment in the first half of 2008. We now have the capacity to service 5 productions simultaneously
compared to three in mid 2007. As anticipated the Company reached the lowest point in its cash position during recent weeks since when the
position has improved in line with the uplift in sales.
In February 2008 we also acquired the rights to provide catering services to the television production "The Bill" which in 2007
delivered turnover and attributable gross profit of �1.07 million and �182,000 respectively.
In our Admission document, we stated that we would recruit a dedicated events manager. This appointment was made in 2007 and in 2008 the
Company has been appointed caterers to the crews and casts of major pop festivals including Gatecrasher, Rockness, Wakestock, Latitude,
Belladrum, Bloodstock, Creamfield, Reading and Leeds.
The board are encouraged by the current trading trends in facilities which, combined with the contribution from The Bill and the pop
festivals, is expected to yield an improved result in the second half.
With regard to acquisitive growth, the board commenced discussions with a number of potential opportunities post the year end and these
remain ongoing. Whilst there can be no certainty that any discussions will be conclude successfully, the Board continue to believe that
there are opportunities to grow the business by acquisition.
As set out in our Admission document, the Company also remains committed to appointing a full time Finance Director as soon as the
business justifies such an appointment and will continue to keep under review the need for an additional non executive director.
I would like to thank our board and senior management team and all the staff for their dedication to the building of this business.

Notes
1. Basis of preparation
The financial information set out in this announcement does not constitute statutory accounts for the purposes of Section 240 Companies
Act 1985. The financial information for the year ended 31 December 2006 has been extracted from the statutory accounts of Hollywood Media
Services plc (formerly Hollywood Catering Services limited) for that year, which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The
auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain any statement under sections 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985.
This preliminary announcement was approved by the board of directors on 25 June 2008. The financial statements in respect of the year end 31
December 2007 will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in due course and will also be disclosed on the Companies website. An
unmodified audit opinion has been issued.
The Group's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by
the European Union as they apply to the financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2007.
For all periods up to and including the year ended 31 December 2006 the Group prepared its financial statements in accordance with UK
generally accepted accounting principles ("UK GAAP"). This is the first year in which the Group has prepared its group financial statements
under IFRS and the comparatives have been restated from UK GAAP accordingly.
2. (Loss)/earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares in issue during the year.

For the diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all
dilutive potential ordinary shares.

On 7th February 2008, the group acquired the benefit of a contract for the provision of catering services in respect of the Bill
television programme (the "Bill Contract"). This contract was acquired from Wood Hall Catering and Events Limited ("Wood Hall"), a
subsidiary of The C4E Group plc ("C4E"), together with certain assets to enable the contract to be serviced including stock, support
vehicles and a number of employees. The maximum consideration payable under the agreement is �575,200, of which �94,500 was paid in cash on
completion and the balance as deferred consideration to be satisfied by the issue to Wood Hall of 6,856,666 non voting convertible
preference shares (Preference Shares) issued at 3p per share. The Preference Shares were or are due to be issued in equal instalments on 30
April 2008, 31 July 2008 and 30 October 2008 provided that the Bill Contract has not been terminated on or before the due date for payment
of the relevant instalment.
If the Bill Contract is renewed in accordance with its terms for up to a further 2 years from December 2008, further consideration
totalling up to �275,000 will be immediately payable to Wood Hall, satisfied by the issue of up to an additional 9,166,667 Preference Shares
at 3p per share.
On 14 February 2008, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, registered in the Isle of Man, Hollywood Media Services (Isle of Man)
Limited was incorporated in order to serve film and television productions based on the Isle of Man.
On 17 April 2008 the Company issued and allotted, credited as fully paid, 2,333,333 new ordinary shares of 0.125p each in the Company,
representing 4.61 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, (the 'New Ordinary Shares') at a price of 3 pence per share to
Grundberg Mocatta Rakison LLP in settlement of professional advisers' fees incurred at the time of the Company's admission to AIM in August
2007.
7. Explanation of Transition to IFRS
This is the first year that the Company has presented its financial information under IFRS. The following disclosures are required in
the year of transition. The last financial statements under UK GAAP were for the year ended 31 December 2006 and the date of transition to
IFRSs was therefore 1 January 2006.
Significant changes to the Income statement and the Balance Sheet for 2006
There are no adjustments arising from the transition to IFRS, and therefore there is no impact on reported income statement or
balances.
Significant changes to the Cash flow statement for 2006
The Company was exempt from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement under UK GAAP on the basis that it was a small company.
There are no such exemptions under IFRS. There are no adjustments arising from the transition to IFRS, and therefore there is no impact on
reported cash flows.
IAS 7 'Cash flow statement' extends the definition of cash to 'cash and cash equivalents' which includes movements on short-term
deposits. The Company has not held any short-term deposits.
8. Availability of report and accounts
The group's full report and accounts will be dispatched to shareholders on 27 June 2008. Copies will also be available on the group's
