CONSOLIDATED DIRECTORSʼ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2012 In ancient Greek drama, an apparently insoluble crisis was often solved by the intervention of the gods who magically descended onto the stage from the skies above. The elaborate crane mechanisms that enabled this impressive eﬀ ect were known as aeormea.

I am delighted to report that sales are up, having successfully streamlined our business and secured a number of new corporate clients across a range of sectors, highlighting the competitiveness of and demand for our offering. All of this resulted in a substantial increase in revenue. Aeorema companies are comprised of highly experienced creative teams delivering award winning brand communications and innovative live events. The industry in which we operate is fast-paced and we are committed to staying ahead of the curve, focussing on innovation and maintaining our reputation for delivering new and exciting product and solutions for our clients. Our On Screen and Live Events companies continue to work together very effectively with signiﬁcant cross-selling between our ﬁlm and events divisions. Our blue chip client list has been enhanced and we are working with a range of major companies straddling the professional and ﬁnancial services, telecommunications, software and technology sectors. Recognition of the quality of our work has not only been demonstrated through increased client wins over the period, but also by the range of awards our On Screen division has received from the most important organisations in our sector. This includes a Gold World Medal at the New York Festivals International Television & Film Awards for our work in the ﬁnancial sector. We have also been awarded ‘Best Internal Communication Film’ for our work in the banking sector at Cannes 2012. We have successfully produced a number of events globally for major household names and also for some leading professional service clients. These events were held in a variety of cities from Cannes to Kuala Lumpur, and our extensive experience in producing innovative live events has seen many clients returning to us time and again for their conference and events needs. In line with our continued strategy to provide a cutting edge service to clients, we took the decision to dispose of our DVD department, due primarily to the declining relevance of DVDs in the current market and the loss of our BBC contract. We have acted quickly to remove the overhead and we feel that the impact will be minimal on the year ahead. The results for the year show a loss before taxation of £82,841 (2011: £90,336). Revenue for the year was £2,899,602 (2011: £2,147,844). The loss before taxation was due in part to the acquisition of viral agency ST16 which has not resulted in the volume of business anticipated. The Board is taking action to resolve the issue and will update the market at the appropriate time. We remain cash positive with reserves of £756,642 (2011: £528,415). Over the past year we increased our revenues whilst still ensuring that our corporate communications and events proposition remains modern and adaptable to changes and trends within the sector. I see this as a strong success for Aeorema. Looking ahead we look forward to building our client roster across our suite of products and services. Finally I would like to take this opportunity to thank shareholders for their support and would also like to place particular thanks to our dedicated and talented creative teams for their hard work over the period.

Key employees are offered access to a share option scheme: further details of which are provided in note 22 to the ﬁnancial statements. Equal Opportunities We are committed to ensuring equal opportunities for our staff. We have introduced training which covers equal opportunities legislation and best practice. Our policy in respect of employment of disabled persons is the same as that relating to all other employees in matters of training, career development and promotion. Where employees become disabled during the course of their employment, we make every effort to make reasonable adjustments to their working environment to enable their continued employment. Safety, Health and Environment The commitment and participation of all employees is vital to efﬁcient and effective occupational risk control. In order to meet our responsibility to protect the environment, staff and the business, the Group continues to focus on maintaining a risk aware culture. We believe the Group maintains a low environmental impact. We therefore continue to work on the potential environmental impacts of energy consumption, waste and travel. Trade payables payment policy The Company's and the Group's current policy concerning the payment of trade payables is to:- – settle the terms of payment with suppliers when agreeing the terms of each transaction; – ensure that suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment by inclusion of the relevant terms in contracts; and – pay in accordance with the Company's contractual and other legal obligations. On average, trade payables at the year end represented 76 (2011: 47) days purchases. Directors' Policies for Managing Principal Risks There is an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing the signiﬁcant risks faced by the business. Risk reviews are undertaken regularly by the respective business areas throughout the year to identify and assess the key risks associated with the achievement of our business objective. Details of the ﬁnancial risks faced by the Group and its policies for managing these are given in note 2. Details of other risks and uncertainties faced by the Group are included in the Chairman’s Statement on page 3. Financial instruments Details of ﬁnancial instruments are given in note 25 to the accounts. 5 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 6 Directors’ Report continued For the year ended 30 June 2012 Directors The following directors have held ofﬁce since 1 July 2011: P Litten N J Newman (Resigned 19 September 2011) R Owen S Garbutta M Hale (Appointed 19 September 2011) (Appointed 6 September 2011) G Fitzpatrick (Appointed 19 September 2011) In accordance with regulation 122 of the Company's Articles of Association, one third of the directors retire by rotation, or if their number is not three, or a multiple of three, the nearest to but not exceeding one third, and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

Corporate governance Although not required to do so, the Company seeks within the practical conﬁnes of being a small company to act in compliance with the principles of good governance and the code of best practice (the "Combined Code") appended to the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority. 6 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 7 Directors’ Report continued For the year ended 30 June 2012 The Board The aim of the Board is to function at the head of the Company's management structures, leading and controlling its activities and setting a strategy for enhancing shareholder value. The Board currently consists of two executive directors and three non-executive directors. The Company does not have a Nomination Committee as such; the Board collectively undertakes the functions of such a committee. Internal control The Board has overall responsibility for ensuring that the Group maintains systems and internal ﬁnancial controls that provide them with reasonable assurance regarding the ﬁnancial information both for use within the business and for external publication and that the assets are safeguarded. Audit Committee There is an Audit Committee consisting of the Chairman, for the time being, and a non-executive director. The terms of reference of the Audit Committee are to assist the Board in the discharge of its responsibilities for corporate governance, ﬁnancial reporting and internal control. Its duties include maintaining an appropriate relationship with the Company's auditors, keeping under review the scope and the results of the audit and its effectiveness. Remuneration Committee The Remuneration Committee consists of two Non-Executive Directors, Stephen Garbutta and Michael Hale, and a meeting will be held in no less than once a year. The Remuneration Committee is responsible for reviewing the performance of the executives of the Company and for setting the scale and structure of their remuneration, paying due regard to the interests of shareholders as a whole and the performance of the Company. Going concern After making appropriate enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and the Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Group's ﬁnancial statements. Statement of disclosure to auditor So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware. Additionally, they have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all the relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information. 7 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 8 Directors’ Report continued For the year ended 30 June 2012 Directors' responsibilities The directors are responsible for preparing the ﬁnancial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare ﬁnancial statements for each ﬁnancial year. Under that law and as required by the AIM rules of the London Stock Exchange, the directors have prepared the consolidated ﬁnancial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and have also elected to prepare the Company ﬁnancial statements in accordance with these standards. Under company law the directors must not approve the ﬁnancial statements unless they are satisﬁed they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group and of the proﬁt or loss of the Group for that year. In preparing those ﬁnancial statements, the directors are required to:- – select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; – make judgements and accounting estimates that are responsible and prudent; – state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union; – prepare the ﬁnancial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company and group will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufﬁcient to show and explain the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the ﬁnancial position of the Company and the Group and enable them to ensure that the ﬁnancial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities and for the maintenance of the corporate and ﬁnancial information within the Company and the Group's website. The maintenance and the integrity of the website is the responsibility of the directors; the work carried out by the Auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and accordingly, the Auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the information contained in the ﬁnancial statements since they were presented on the Company and the Group's website. Legislation in the UK governing dissemination of ﬁnancial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. On behalf of the Board S Garbutta Director 19 November 2012 8 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 9 Independent Auditors’ Report To the shareholders of Aeorema Communications plc We have audited the Group and parent Company ﬁnancial statements (the "ﬁnancial statements") of Aeorema Communications Plc for the year ended 30 June 2012 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group and Company Statements of Financial Position, the Group and Company Statements of Changes in Equity, the Group and Company Statements of Cash Flows and the related notes. The ﬁnancial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and, as regards the parent company ﬁnancial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors As explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 8, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the ﬁnancial statements and for being satisﬁed that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the ﬁnancial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. Scope of the audit of the ﬁnancial statements An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the ﬁnancial statements sufﬁcient to give reasonable assurance that the ﬁnancial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of; whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Group’s and the Company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of signiﬁcant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the ﬁnancial statements. In addition, we read all the ﬁnancial and non-ﬁnancial information in the Overview, the Chairman’s Statement and the Directors’ Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited ﬁnancial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. Opinion on the ﬁnancial statements In our opinion: – the ﬁnancial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and of the parent Company’s affairs as at 30 June 2012 and of the Group’s loss for the year then ended; - the ﬁnancial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union; – the parent company ﬁnancial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union and as applied in accordance with the Companies Act 2006; and – the ﬁnancial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 9 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 10 Independent Auditors’ Report continued To the shareholders of Aeorema Communications plc Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion the information given in the Directors’ Report for the ﬁnancial year for which the ﬁnancial statements are prepared is consistent with the ﬁnancial statements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 required us to report to you if, in our opinion: – adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or – the parent Company ﬁnancial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or – certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration speciﬁed by law are not made; or – we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and its principal place of business is 25/27 Riding House Street, London, W1P 7PB. The Company’s Ordinary Shares are traded on the AIM Market. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the ﬁnancial statements are set out below. The policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. Going concern The Group’s business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development and performance are set out in the review of business contained in the Chairman’s Statement. The Group’s ﬁnancial statements show details of its ﬁnancial position including, in note 25, details of its ﬁnancial instruments and exposure to risk. After reviewing the Group’s budget for the next ﬁnancial year, other medium term plans and considering the risks outlined in note 25, the Directors, at the time of approving the ﬁnancial statements, have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have therefore used the going concern basis in preparing the ﬁnancial statements. Basis of Preparation The Group’s ﬁnancial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations, applied for the ﬁrst time from 1 July 2011. (cid:129) IAS 24 (Amended) ‘Related Party Disclosures', effective 1 January 2011. The adoption of these revised and amended standards has not impacted on the Annual Report and Financial Statements. Adopted IFRSs not yet applied The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not effective for the ﬁnancial year beginning 1 July 2011 and have not been early adopted by the group: (cid:129) IFRS 7 (Amended) ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’, effective 1 January 2013.

Basis of consolidation The Group ﬁnancial statements consolidate those of the Company and all of its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 30 June 2012. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the power to control the ﬁnancial and operating policies so as to obtain beneﬁts from their activities. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred until the date that such control ceases. Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between group companies are eliminated. The merger reserve is used where more than 90% of the shares in a subsidiary are acquired and the consideration includes the issue of new shares by the Company, thereby attracting merger relief under the Companies Act 2006. Revenue Revenue represents amounts (excluding value added tax) derived from the provision of services to third party customers in the course of the Group’s ordinary activities. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue for all business segments is recognised when the Group has earned the right to receive consideration for its services. Intangible assets – goodwill All business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Goodwill acquired represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration and associated costs over the fair value of the identiﬁable net assets acquired. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. At the date of acquisition, the goodwill is allocated to cash generating units, usually at business segment level or statutory company level as the case may be, for the purpose of impairment testing and is tested at least annually for impairment. On subsequent disposal or termination of a business acquired, the proﬁt or loss on termination is calculated after charging the carrying value of any related goodwill. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated in the ﬁnancial statements at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment value. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less estimated residual value of property, plant and equipment over its expected useful life (which is reviewed at least at each ﬁnancial year end), as follows: Leasehold land and buildings straight line over the life of the lease (5 years) Fixtures, ﬁttings and equipment 25% straight line Any gain or loss arising on the derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement in the year that the asset is derecognised. 16 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 17 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued For the year ended 30 June 2012 Fully depreciated assets still in use are retained in the ﬁnancial statements. Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have an indeﬁnite useful life and intangible assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each annual balance sheet date and whenever there is an indication of impairment. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. Operating leases Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. Investments Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are stated initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less any provision for impairment. Trade and other payables Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises, for the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, of cash in hand and deposits payable on demand and bank overdrafts. Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insigniﬁcant risk of changes in value. Cash equivalents normally have a date of maturity of 3 months or less from the acquisition date. Finance income Financial income consists of interest receivable on funds invested. It is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as it accrues. 17 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 18 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued For the year ended 30 June 2012 Taxation Income tax on the proﬁt or loss for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for ﬁnancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable proﬁt other than in a business combination; the differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable proﬁts will be available against which the assets can be utilised. Pension costs The Group does not operate a pension scheme for its employees. It does however, make contributions to the private pension arrangements of certain employees. These arrangements are of the money purchase type and the amount charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income represents the contributions payable by the Group for the period. Financial instruments The Group does not enter into derivative transactions and does not trade in ﬁnancial instruments. Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the Balance Sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provision of the instrument. Equity An equity instrument is a contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. The Group’s equity instruments comprise ‘share capital’ in the Statement of Financial Position. Foreign currency translation Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are taken to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Share-based payments The Group has applied the transitional provisions of IFRS 2 only to awards of equity instruments made after 7 November 2002 that had not vested by 1 July 2006. The fair value of equity rights is estimated using option pricing models at the date of grant to key employees and is dependent on factors such as the exercise price, expected volatility, option price and risk free interest rate. The fair value is then amortised through the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Expected volatility is determined based on the historical share price volatility for the Company. Further information is given in note 22 to the ﬁnancial statements. 18 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 19 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued For the year ended 30 June 2012 Signiﬁcant judgements and estimates The preparation of the Group’s ﬁnancial statements in conforming with IFRS required management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the application of policies and reported amounts in the ﬁnancial statements. These judgements and estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. Information about such judgements and estimation is contained in the accounting policies and / or notes to the ﬁnancial statements and the key areas are summarised below: a) Depreciation rates are based on the estimated useful lives and residual value of the assets involved. b) The impairment review of goodwill is based on the estimation of future cash ﬂows and discount rates in order to calculate the present value of the cash ﬂows. c) The Group operates share incentive schemes as detailed in note 22. In order to calculate the annual charge in accordance with IFRS 2, management are required to make a number of assumptions and include, amongst others, volatility and expected life of options. d) An allowance for uncollectable trade receivables is estimated based on a combination of aging analysis and any speciﬁc, known troubled customer accounts. 19 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 20 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued For the year ended 30 June 2012 2 Revenue and segment information Revenue and segmental results have been disclosed by three operating segments of On Screen, Live Events and Viral Film in the manner that the information is presented to the Board of Directors, being the Chief Operating Decision Makers, in accordance with IFRS 8.

The retained loss for the ﬁnancial year of the holding company was £270,794 (2011: £706,046). 9 Loss per ordinary share Basic loss per share are calculated by dividing the proﬁt or loss attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the proﬁt or loss attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. The following reﬂects the income and share data used and dilutive earnings per share computations: Loss attributable to owners of the parent 2012 £ 2011 £ (85,183) (108,114) Basic weighted average number of shares 7,900,342 7,837,500 Dilutive potential ordinary shares: Employee share options Diluted weighted average number of shares 24 572,017 392,702 8,472,359 8,230,202 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 25 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued For the year ended 30 June 2012 10 Business combinations On 9 March 2012, the Company acquired the entire share capital of ST16 Limited. The consideration was satisﬁed by the issue of 200,000 new Ordinary Shares at 0.2325p per share, being the market value on the date of issue, plus £40,000 in cash. The costs of acquisition amounted to £4,850 and have been charged to the merger reserve. The book value and fair value of the net assets acquired was £8,829 and goodwill of £77,671 has arisen on acquisition. The net assets and results of the acquired company are included in the consolidated accounts of the Group from the date of acquisition. Acquisition accounting has been applied and the goodwill arising has been capitalised and is subject to annual impairment testing. The fair value of identiﬁable assets and liabilities of ST16 Limited at the date of acquisition were: Fixed assets Trade and other receivables Cash at bank Trade and other payables Current tax liabilities Net assets Goodwill arising Total consideration represented by: Value of shares issued Cash consideration paid Total consideration Fair value and carrying value £ 5,253 23,914 23,206 (36,558) (6,986) 8,829 77,671 86,500 46,500 40,000 86,500 ST16 Limited has contributed revenues of approximately £62,000 since acquisition and incurred a net loss of £46,000. Had the company been consolidated since 1 July 2011, it would have generated revenues of £189,000 and incurred a net loss of £17,000. 25 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 26 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued For the year ended 30 June 2012 11 Intangible Fixed Assets Group Cost At 1 July 2010 At 30 June 2011 Acquisition of subsidiary At 30 June 2012 Impairment and amortisation At 1 July 2010 At 30 June 2011 Impairment charge At 30 June 2012 Net book value At 1 July 2010 At 30 June 2011 At 30 June 2012 Goodwill £ 2,728,292 2,728,292 77,671 2,805,963 2,363,138 2,363,138 77,671 2,440,809 365,154 365,154 365,154 Goodwill arose for the Group on consolidation of its subsidiary companies, Cheerful Scout Productions Limited and ST16 Limited. Impairment – Cheerful Scout Productions Limited Goodwill has been tested for impairment based on its future value in use. Future value has been calculated on a discounted cash ﬂow basis using the 2013 budgeted ﬁgures as approved by the Board of Directors extended for a period of 5 years and discounted at a rate of 2.4%. It has been assumed that future growth will be at 1.5%. Based upon these assumptions, there was no impairment in the year. Management has assessed the sensitivity of the recoverable amounts in the key assumptions to be as follows: a ﬁve percentage increase in the discount rate would reduce the recoverable amount by £31,000 and a one percentage fall in future growth would reduce the recoverable amount by £79,000. Impairment – ST16 Limited Impairment of goodwill of £77,671 (2011: £Nil) has been included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The directors have reviewed the trading performance of the company since acquisition and considered future likely cash ﬂows of the company and as a result believe that value in use of the goodwill has become fully impaired. 26 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 27 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued For the year ended 30 June 2012 12 Property, Plant and Equipment Group Cost At 1 July 2010 Additions Disposals At 30 June 2011 Additions Additions on acquisition of subsidiary At 30 June 2012 Depreciation At 1 July 2010 Charge for the year Disposals At 30 June 2011 Charge for the year At 30 June 2012 Net book value At 1 July 2010 At 30 June 2011 At 30 June 2012 Leasehold land and buildings £ Fixtures, ﬁttings and equipment £ 157,063 – – 157,063 – – 852,115 47,022 (28,154) 870,983 13,653 5,254 Total £ 1,009,178 47,022 (28,154) 1,028,046 13,653 5,254 157,063 889,890 1,046,953 149,638 2,100 – 151,738 2,100 153,838 7,425 5,325 3,225 726,165 70,093 (27,138) 769,120 58,067 827,187 125,950 101,863 62,703 875,803 72,193 (27,138) 920,858 60,167 981,025 133,375 107,188 65,928 The gross carrying amount of fully depreciated property, plant and equipment still in use is £146,578 (2011: £146,578) in relation to leasehold land and buildings and £770,351 (2011: £601,550) in relation to ﬁxtures, ﬁttings and equipment. 27 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 28 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued For the year ended 30 June 2012 13 Non-current Assets – Investments Company Cost At 1 July 2010 Shares in subsidiary £ Loans to subsidiary £ Total £ 3,144,813 201,308 3,346,121 Increase in respect of share based payments 31,116 – 31,116 Loan to subsidiary written off At 30 June 2011 Acquisition of subsidiary Increase in respect of share based payments Disposal of subsidiary At 30 June 2012 Provision At 1 July 2010 Impairment of subsidiary Loan to subsidiary written off At 30 June 2011 Impairment of subsidiary Disposal of subsidiary At 30 June 2012 Net book value At 1 July 2010 At 30 June 2011 At 30 June 2012 – (201,308) (201,308) 3,175,929 86,500 45,152 (600) 3,306,981 – – – – – 3,175,929 86,500 45,152 (600) 3,306,981 2,144,813 201,308 2,346,121 550,000 – 550,000 – (201,308) (201,308) 2,694,813 86,500 (600) 2,780,713 1,000,000 481,116 526,268 – – – – – – – 2,694,813 86,500 (600) 2,780,713 1,000,000 481,116 526,268 28 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 29 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued For the year ended 30 June 2012 Holdings of more than 20% The Company holds more than 20% of the share capital of the following companies: Subsidiary undertakings Country of registration or incorporation Cheerful Scout Productions Limited England and Wales Twentyﬁrst Limited (formerly nVision Technology Limited ST16 Limited England and Wales England and Wales Shares held Class Ordinary Ordinary Ordinary % 100 100 100 The principal activity of these undertakings for the last relevant ﬁnancial year was as follows: Company Principal activity Cheerful Scout Productions Limited Provision of business communication services Twentyﬁrst Limited (formerly nVision Technology Limited Provision of event management services ST16 Limited Provision of media production During the year, the company’s dormant subsidiary, Business Data Interactive Limited, was dissolved. 14 Trade and other receivables Trade receivables Related party receivables Other receivables Prepayments and accrued income Group Company 2012 £ 2011 £ 674,987 405,296 2012 £ – 2011 £ – – – 21,869 118,946 37,901 37,303 94,953 74,862 5,372 4,212 – 4,013 807,841 517,461 31,453 122,959 Other receivables include £34,543 (2011: £34,543) for a rental deposit which is secured by a charge in favour of the landlords.

Options are granted to key employees at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s shares at the date of grant. Options are exercisable from the third anniversary of the date of grant and lapse if they remain unexercised at the tenth anniversary or upon cessation of employment. The following option arrangements exist over the Company’s shares: Date of grant 1 May 2002 Exercise price exercise period From To Number of options 2012 Number of options 2011 62.50p 1 May 2005 30 April 2012 – 72,000 28 October 2004 18.75p 28 October 2007 27 October 2014 143,000 143,000 20 July 2010 8.75p 20 July 2013 19 July 2020 1,200,000 1,200,000 9 March 2012 23.25p 9 March 2015 8 March 2022 600,000 – 1,943,000 1,415,000 33 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 34 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continue For the year ended 30 June 2012 Details of the number of share options and the weighted average exercise price outstanding during the year are as follows: Weighted average exercise price 2012 £ Number of options 2012 Number of options 2011 Outstanding at beginning of the year 1,415,000 0.12 235,600 Lapsed during the year Granted during the year (72,000) (0.63) (20,600) 600,000 0.23 1,200,000 Outstanding at end of the year 1,943,000 0.09 1,415,000 Exercisable at the end of the year 143,000 215,000 Weighted average exercise price 2011 £ 0.32 (0.19) 0.09 0.12 The exercise price of options outstanding at the year-end ranged between £0.0875 and £0.2325 (2011: £0.0875 and £0.625) and their weighted average contractual life was 8.5 years (2011: 8.7 years). Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value as determined at the grant date of equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest. The estimated fair value of the options is measured using an option pricing model. The inputs into the model are as follows: Grant date Model used Share price at grant date Exercise price Contractual life Risk free rate Expected volatility Expected dividend rate 28 October 2004 Binomial 16.25p 18.75p 10 years 6% 43% 0% Fair value option 5.9868p 20 July 2010 Black-Scholes 9 March 2012 Black-Scholes 8.75p 8.75p 10 years 0.5% 100% 0% 7.779p 23.25p 23.25p 10 years 0.5% 105% 0% 21.053p The expected volatility is determined by calculating the historical volatility of the company’s share price over the last three years. The risk free rate is the ofﬁce Bank of England base rate. The expected dividend rate is zero as the company has not paid dividends in the past. The Group recognised the following charges in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in respect of its share-based payment plans: Share-based payment charge 34 2011 £ 2010 £ 45,152 31,116 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 35 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued For the year ended 30 June 2012 23 Related Party Transactions The Group has a related party relationship with its subsidiaries and its directors.

There have been no signiﬁcant changes in the Group’s exposure to ﬁnancial instrument risk, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those from previous periods. The principal ﬁnancial instruments used by the Group, from which ﬁnancial instrument risk arises, are trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables. Credit risk Credit risk arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables. It is the risk that the counterparty fails to discharge its obligation in respect of the instrument. The maximum exposure to credit risk at 30 June 2012 was £674,987 (2011: £405,296). Trade receivables are managed by policies concerning the credit offered to customers and the regular monitoring of amounts outstanding for both time and credit limits. At the year end, the credit quality of trade receivables is considered to be satisfactory. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s management of working capital. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difﬁculty in meeting its ﬁnancial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s policy is to meet its liabilities when they fall due. The Group monitors cash ﬂow on a regular basis. At the year end, the Group has sufﬁcient liquid resources to meets its obligations of £800,152 (2011: £326,766). Market risk Market risk arises from the Group’s use of interest bearing ﬁnancial instruments. It is the risk that the fair value of future cash ﬂows of a ﬁnancial instrument will ﬂuctuate. At the year end, the cash and cash equivalents of the Group was £756,642 (2011: £528,415). The Group ensures that its cash deposits earn interest at a reasonable rate. Capital risk The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders. The capital structure of the Group consists of equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued share capital, reserves and retained earnings as disclosed in the Group Statement of Changes in Equity. At the year end, total equity was £1,217,800 (2011: £1,216,181). Fair value of ﬁnancial assets The Group's book value of the ﬁnancial assets equates to their fair values. 26 Pension costs deﬁned contribution The Group makes pre-deﬁned contributions to employees' personal pension plans. Contributions payable by the Group for the year were £52,156 (2011: £52,656). 27 Control There is no overall controlling party. 37 Aeroema_R&A_2012_Layout 1 21/11/2012 15:28 Page 38 Notice of Annual General Meeting Aeorema Communications plc (Incorporated and registered in England and Wales with company number 04314540) NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Annual General Meeting of Aeorema Communications plc will be held at 25-27 Riding House Street, London, W1W 7DU on 17 December 2012 at 10.00 a.m. for the transaction of the following business: As Ordinary Business to consider and, if thought ﬁt, pass the following resolutions which will be proposed as Ordinary Resolutions: 1.
