Trading Update
London: 16 January, 2012 - Motive Television PLC, the digital television technology, software and services provider, is pleased to provide the following trading update for the financial year ended 31 December 2011.
The year ended 31 December 2011 was one of both great accomplishment and challenge for Motive and the Directors are pleased to report that they expect the results for the year ended 31 December 2011 to be broadly in line with market expectations. In 2011, Motive integrated two acquisitions, technologies and management teams, redefined the Company's products and services under the Television Anytime Anywhere concept and in the last half of the year took these solutions to market. As a result, the Company is well positioned to reap the rewards of the initiatives set out below during 2012.
Contract Development The industry response to Motive's offer has been very positive considering the transformational nature of our products. Motive's products and services are in various stages of evaluation, consideration, testing and implementation by potential customers in three continents.
The implementation of Motive's patented Television Anytime technology at Mediaset, which commenced at the end of 2009, has grown to over 300,000 homes and generates significant recurring monthly revenue for Mediaset and adds credibility to Motive's offering.
Digiturk, Motive's second implementation, is now beginning the process of integrated system acceptance testing, which involves running the Company's technology with that of other vendors for the first time. Following completion of this testing, which is expected to take several weeks, the Directors expect the system will be ready for launch by Digiturk.
In addition, Motive has a market test beginning shortly with Granite Broadcasting Corporation's television station in San Francisco and the Company is hopeful that it will provide further proof of the Company's capabilities to the US market.
Motive is awaiting completion of an agreement between a technology partner and Media Networks Latin America ("MNLA") in Lima, Peru. Following such an agreement, Motive expects to start its pilot with MNLA in which Motive's technology will be exhibited to pay television platform providers from across South and Central America.
Furthermore, as announced on 12 October 2011, Motive has signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with CME Media Services Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Central European Media Enterprises Limited ("CME"). The LOI outlines the provision by Motive of certain advisory and consulting services regarding Motive's Television Anytime Anywhere technologies, which follows the technical pilot test of the technologies by CME in 2010 and the initial planning project that Motive undertook with CME in 2011. Motive remains confident of a future implementation of its technology with CME.
As a supplier of software and service platforms to major television industry companies, Motive is subject to the timetables of its clients and their prospects. Motive's software must be integrated into and with hardware and software of other suppliers and completing sales and deployments of the Company's technology is greatly influenced by other companies' schedules.
Outlook for 2012 As set out above, Motive has spent 2011 refining its product offering, showcasing the abilities of the Television Anytime Anywhere technology to the market and seeking to capitalise on interest from the industry. The Company is pleased to report that Motive has enjoyed some significant success in gaining recognition of the Company's products among major broadcasters, cable and satellite pay television operators and other participants in the video industry in both Europe and the Americas.
This interest has developed into pilots, market tests and technical trials that are underway or starting in the first quarter of 2012 among large international broadcasters and pay television platforms. It has also led to plans for joint technology development projects with television companies to apply Motive's capabilities to specific needs in new ways. The Company hopes to be able to announce news about these new pilots, tests and development projects in the near future.
In addition, Motive has refined its business model and is now progressing discussions with a number of broadcasters and pay television operators about moving from the pilot or testing phase to full deployment of the Motive platform.
As shareholders are aware, the business environment in Europe and America was depressed in 2011 and companies have been very cautious to move forward with investment in new capabilities. Motive saw the effect of these headwinds in its efforts to turn decisions and intentions among prospective clients into contracts for deployment. Negotiations have taken longer than were originally anticipated and, in some cases, additional hurdles were added during the process.
The good news is that, at least in the United States, the market appears to be looking more optimistic and businesses are exhibiting signs of renewed confidence. This will have a direct effect on Motive's ability to complete sales in 2012 and indications are that the United States will be an important market for the Company. As set out above, Motive is developing its relationship with Granite Broadcasting and is in active discussions with major cable operators and other broadcasters.
In Europe, the market remains sluggish due to the financial crisis and the policies of austerity rather than growth that dominate economic thinking. As such, while Motive is confident about closing important sales that were initiated and progressed during 2011, until the business environment becomes more positive, it will remain challenging for any B2B provider to get firm commitments. Thus the goal for Motive in Europe in 2012 will be to complete a number of open sales discussions.
As set out above, Motive expects to start its pilot with MNLA in which Motive's technology will be exhibited to pay television platform providers from across South and Central America.
Asia and South America have remained somewhat insulated from the global downturn and Motive is exploring opportunities in these fast-growth markets.
In summary, despite the business downturn, Motive is poised to capitalise on the market acceptance and interest achieved in 2011 and is confident that it will be able to announce further pilots, deployments and contracts during 2012.
Leonard M. Fertig, CEO of Motive Television plc, said: "The Company is in a better position than ever before and with game-changing products, a stronger management team and enhanced market awareness it is looking forward to this year being one in which Motive moves from a development to operational focus."

A very interesting read. I gave up watching TV 6 years ago, favouring my PC and, now my Notebook to access the internet. I watch what I want to watch, thru DVDs. I am a keen photographer, which gives me hours of pleasure, manipulating images on the PC. Viewing TV in its present form, is already DEAD, from my point of view.

Why catch-up TV won’t be the sole source of viewing
The days of flicking through three channels are long gone. A revolution is taking place in television affecting when, where and even how we watch it. But what does the future hold? Is traditional ‘prime-time viewing’ soon to be a thing of the past? Metro talks to those in the industry to find out... There's nothing on telly these days. It’s a familiar cry heard throughout the land, blurted out by channel surfers drowning in a rising sea of repeats, reality, dramality and banality. But does the complaint hold a prophecy of a more literal kind? As on-demand shows become more popular and the devices on which we watch shows evolve, will the humble television be playing catch-up? Will there be a time when there actually is nothing on TV? If video killed the radio star, will mobile phones and tablets murder the flatscreen television? ‘On-demand is a hugely important contributor to the consumer television experience but it won’t naturally replace or inevitably replace scheduled television,’ insists Simon Woodward, chief executive of ANT, which provides software for television sets and set-top boxes for clients such as Samsung. Mr Woodward believes viewers are at last beginning to harness the technology in front of them as companies try to simplify the presentation of their products. ‘The consumer, particularly in the UK, had no real experience through which demand could be created for on-demand television,’ he said. ‘With the advent of BBC iPlayer, that has really opened consumers’ eyes to the opportunities possible.’ BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky are fighting for a slice of the catch-up market. The film battleground is as competitive, with the likes of LoveFilm and Netflix, launched here last month, battling for viewers. YouView, an internet-connected service combining BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 programming, launches this year. Sky will launch its own internet television service in response. Alongside the services are the actual competing devices, with PCs, tablets, phones and games consoles trying to get in on the action. Mr Woodward believes this year will be a pivotal one. ‘A playing field has been laid out in a way that enables an extremely exciting match to be played, but the match hasn’t started yet,’ he said. Viewers are choosing to watch television in different ways. Most people watch iPlayer through their PCs, with ten per cent using their television. Only five per cent watch it on tablets, yet that figure is a 600 per cent increase on the previous year. With viewers keen to make the most of catch-up TV, will it mean the death of the traditional schedule? Will prime-time end? ‘The schedule will remain for a long time as the actual pillar through which you are made aware of new content,’ said Mr Woodward. ‘There is an agenda set and a behaviour set by the schedule, particularly if the schedule offers something that typically is pretty new. ‘One of the key things we have learned from iPlayer is the schedule drives its consumption, so the vast majority of its consumption is content that was missed within the last 24 or 48 hours. It isn’t content missed six months ago.’ This feeling is echoed by Adrian Letts, co-founder and chief operating officer of film on-demand service Blinkbox. It has about 3million unique users a month and is available on internet-connected televisions, iPads, PCs, PlayStation 3s and Xbox 360s. ‘I don’t think it will ever disappear,’ he said. ‘Active viewing means the schedule becomes more flexible. I think the 9pm slot is still important, especially on a Sunday. People want to curl up and watch something fantastic. There’s always a place for TV. It’s just a question of whether it’s linear or on-demand.’ Mr Letts said people were becoming more accustomed to viewing programmes on their own terms. ‘For drama and movies and soaps, the time window is changing and people are |
