RE: Issue of Warrants
10 December 2008
Media Corporation plc
("Media Corp" or "the Company")
(AIM:MDC)
RE: Issue of Warrants
Further to the announcements on 29th October 2008 regarding issue of warrants by the Company, the Board wishes to make the following points of clarification regarding the issue:-
Number of warrants
The total number of warrants issued is 27,250,000, allocated as set out below. This total number is 5,000,000 less than the total number of warrants announced on 29th October 2008 and is under 10% of the reduced issued share capital of the Company following the recent completion of the share buy back.
Status of warrants
The warrants give a right to subscribe for new shares for a period of three years from issue, subject to the recipient remaining employed by the Company at the time of exercise and any individual performance criteria having been satisfied. Performance criteria will lapse in the event of a takeover or other "Exit Event" occurring.
The warrants replace all 16,500,000 previous grants of warrants or options under the 2001 Employee Share Option Plan (2001 ESOP) to the current recipients and constitute new grants rather than an adjustment to existing grants. The warrants are not granted pursuant to the 2001 ESOP, but do comprise a grant pursuant to an "employees' share scheme" for the purposes of the Companies Act 1985.

Trading Statement
Media Corporation PLC
Trading Update
Media Corp (AIM:MDC), a leading Advertising Network and internet publishing
Group, today provides an update on trading expectations in relation to the year
ending 30th September 2008.
The Company's core business, the Advertising Network division, is expected to
report revenue of not less than £2.5 million in the year to September 2008
(2007: £1.8 million). This represents revenue growth of 39% compared to the
prior year and demonstrates the opportunity the Company has seen in this sector.
However, the revenue and profit in the Internet Publishing division is expected
to be below market expectations due to the ongoing Google penalty which has
affected both Gambling.com and Creditcardexpert.co.uk, writing off bad debts and
adverse foreign exchange movements with respect to the dollar. These external
factors were initially highlighted in the interims and have continued to hamper
the performance of this business despite the concerted efforts of the Company
and its advisers. Accordingly the division's revenue is expected to be not less
than £1.5 million in the year to September 2008 (2007: 2.2 million excluding
discontinued operations).
The combination of the two divisional results denoted above is expected to see
revenue and profit expectations lower than market forecasts for the 2008
financial year.
Despite the above, the Board remain extremely positive that strong growth in the
Advertising network business will continue to develop value for shareholders in
the medium term and despite poor recent performance in the publishing division
the portfolio of assets remains very valuable.
The Group's balance sheet remains strong with cash expected to be approximately
£4 million at 30th September 2008.
Justin Drummond, CEO commented,
"2008 has been a transitional year for the Group and we have invested heavily in
building a strong management and sales team and the technical infrastructure to
grow the business".

Chairman's Statement
Introduction
The Board is pleased to present the interim results for the period ended 31
March 2008 which show overall Group results in line with management forecasts.
There has been a marked shift in the Group's divisional split, as the
Advertising network has outperformed management expectations and the publishing
division has continued to be adversely impacted by external factors.
Advertising Network
The Group's advertising network business Eyeconomy|Nash has undergone a period
of significant investment and is now the Group's primary focus. Following a
number of senior appointments in this division and an investment in both the
advertising platform and server infrastructure there is now an excellent
platform for continued growth.
There has been a marked shift from Eyeconomy's historical subsite business to a
more balanced product offering including both mass reach banner advertising and
video advertising. In March 2008 the Advertising Network delivered 32 million
Subsites and video Subsites (2007: 15 million) to unique consumers and over 70
Million banner advertisements (2007: Nil). As the Eyeconomy|Nash sales team
continues to grow, banner and video ad delivery will continue to increase
rapidly.
Publishing
The Group's publishing division has continued to be challenging during the
financial period and the Board is reviewing its strategic options in relation to
its publishing division. While the publishing assets still have significant
asset value the operating performance has been impacted by regulatory factors
and search engine results.
The Board believes there is still significant value in its internet real estate
and is continuing to develop its entire web portfolio with a view to maximising
its revenue potential and value. During the next few months the Group's flagship
websites will be continually improved as we seek to improve revenues from these
sites and greatly improve the consumer product offering. In addition, the Group
will continue to develop its portfolio of top tier internet domain names into
revenue generating websites.
Trading outlook
The Board is very pleased with the performance of its advertising network
business, which is continuing to deliver organic growth. Whilst the publishing
division remains challenging significant management resource will continue to be
focussed on improving its operating performance in the coming months.
The Board continues to evaluate a number of acquisition opportunities that will
either enhance the Group's revenues or geographical reach.

Notes to the accounts
1. Basis of preparation
The interim financial information for the six months ended 31 March 2008 has
been prepared on an historical cost basis and in accordance with the accounting
policies that will apply for the year ended 30 September 2008, which will follow
the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations
as endorsed by the European Union.
The comparative figures included in this report for the six months ended 31
March 2007 and the full year ended 30 September 2007 are restated for IFRS and
are unaudited.
IFRS 1 permits companies adopting IFRS for the first time to take certain
exemptions from the full requirements of IFRS in the transition period.
Accordingly business combinations prior to the date of transition to IFRS have
not been restated to comply with IFRS 3 'Business Combinations'. Changes
resulting from the adoption of IFRS 2 had already been recognised in the
accounts for the year ended 30 September 2007.
The comparatives for full year ended 30 September 2007 are based on the latest
published audited accounts, but are subject to unaudited restatement to IFRS as
endorsed for use in the European Union. Accordingly they are not the company's
full statutory accounts for the year. A copy of the statutory accounts for that
year was prepared in accordance with UK GAAP and has been delivered to the
Register of Companies. The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified,
did not include any references to matters to which the auditors drew attention
by way of emphasis without qualifying their report; and did not contain a
statement under section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. As permitted,
the Company has chosen not to adopt IAS34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
The directors undertake an impairment review of goodwill at the end of each
annual reporting period.

Trading Statement
Media Corporation plc ("Media Corp" or the "Group")
(AIM:MDC)
Trading Update
The Board of Media Corp is pleased to announce that the re-organisation and
restructuring of the Group that commenced following the US internet gambling ban
at the end of 2006 is now complete and the business is now organised into two
divisions: Internet Publishing and Advertising sales.
Following a strategic review and analysis of the internet advertising market,
the Board has approved a business plan to invest up to £1 million of its
existing cash resources in expanding its businesses during 2008. The Group had
cash balances of £6.3 million at the financial year end, 30 September 2007 and
this may be enhanced by a further £0.625 million in March 2008 if the earn out
provisions relating to the Casino.co.uk sale are met.
The Board believes this investment is essential to ensure that the Group
maximises the opportunity presented by the unprecedented growth of the online
advertising sector. The change in strategy and investment needed in the near
term will mean that although gross profit is still in line with market
expectations net profit will be lower. However, it is anticipated this
investment will generate accelerated revenue and profit growth for the Group
going forward.
Headcount in the advertising sales division is anticipated to increase to 40
people (from the current 20 staff) by the end of 2008 as the Group broadens its
current offering to incorporate site representation, new display and video
advertising formats. The majority of these new hires will be experienced
advertising sales executives and sales support staff.
In the publishing division, the Group's investment will be focused on building
an experienced in-house editorial and technical team, and increasing third party
content deals. This expansion is essential as the Group expands its current
offering and launches its internet portals into new markets. The majority of
this investment will be focused on enhancing our key portal assets which the
board believes have significant value in excess of the current market
capitalisation.
Justin Drummond, Chief Executive of Media Corp. commented:
"The Group is operating in the fast growing internet advertising market which is
estimated to have reached £3.4 Billion and accounted for 24.8% of all UK media
spend in 2008. In 2009 Internet advertising spend is predicted to overtake TV
advertising" (source: Group M).
"With the Group's significant cash resources of £6.3 million at the financial
year end, it is essential that we invest in seizing the significant opportunity
presented by the growth and potential of the online advertising market".

Acquisition of Sport.co.uk
As part of an ongoing strategy to broaden the scale and scope of the Group's Web
Publishing division, Media Corp is pleased to announce the acquisition of
top-tier domain name and website www.sport.co.uk for a cash consideration of
£135,000.
Media Corp will develop Sport.co.uk during the first quarter of 2008 with the
aim of it becoming a worldwide provider of comprehensive sports statistics and
information. All facts and figures on matches, athletes, teams, results,
competitions, tournaments, stadiums and sponsors will be provided in what
eventually aims to be one of the world's largest sports information websites.
Sport.co.uk will also cover historical results, articles, biographies, actual
statistics and sports-related material such as photos, news, calendars and
memorabilia on a wide range of sports.
Justin Drummond, Chief Executive of Media Corporation plc, commented:
"The value of a top-tier domain name combined with a profitable
advertising-driven business model was recently illustrated by the Group's
successful sale of Casino.co.uk for up to £3.625 million. We are aiming to
replicate this success with Sport.co.uk as we continue to increase the scale and
diversity of the Group's Web Publishing business".
