Outlook During the 15 month period the Company saw rising demand for its facilities, especially in film. This level of demand has continued into the start of the current financial year and bodes well for the future. On 16 May 2012, the Company announced that it is embarking on a consultation on the future development of Pinewood Studios with local and national stakeholders and the producers and developers of creative content. Certainty as to its future development is critical to enable Pinewood Studios to plan for growth. Without major investment Pinewood Studios cannot remain globally competitive and respond to the changing needs and ever increasing demands of the screen and digital industries both at home and abroad. The Company is responding well to the increasing demand for content both at its UK studios and abroad. The Board looks forward to the future with confidence.

Good figures

CONT On 8 July 2011 the Recommended Cash Offer (“the Offer”) by Peel Acquisitions (Pegasus) Limited (“Peel Acquisitions”) for the Company closed. Peel Acquisitions is now the largest shareholder with 71.06% of the Company. Warren James Holdings Ltd is the second largest shareholder with 27.91% of the Company. Both major shareholders have independently stated their long-term support of the Company. Combined, these shareholdings represent nearly 99% of the share capital of the Company. Consequently, the Company wrote to the Financial Services Authority on 15 July 2011 to inform them that the Company no longer complies with the requirements of the UKLA’s Listing Rules regarding the number of shares to be held in public hands. The Company announced on 27 April 2012 that it had received a Supervisory Notice from the FSA proposing to discontinue the listing of the Company's ordinary shares with effect from 31 May 2012, following a meeting by the Regulatory Decisions Committee (RDC) held on 26 April 2012. Subsequent to a submission made by the Company, the RDC has extended the proposed delisting date to 6 June 2012 to allow the Company to actively explore its options including a possible admission of its ordinary shares to trading on AIM. A further update will be made in due course. During the period three Non-Executive Directors resigned from the Board: Adrian Burn, James Donald and Nigel Hall. Patrick Garner, Finance Director retired from the Company on 30 April 2012. I would like to record our thanks for their wise counsel over the years. We were delighted to welcome to the Board as Non-Executive Directors Peter Hosker, Neil Lees, Mark Senior and John Whittaker. Pinewood Shepperton’s results for the period were achieved following major contributions by my fellow Directors and especially the staff. I thank them for their continued support. Lord Grade of Yarmouth, CBE Chairman 28 May 2012

Chairman’s statement Pinewood Shepperton plc has once again delivered another strong performance with revenues of £63.0m for the 15 month period ended 31 March 2012 (year to 31 December 2010: £43.4m). The Company has made a positive start to the new financial year. The Company has continued to invest in its facilities to ensure it remains the preferred destination for the screen based industries. A range of infrastructure projects have been completed or are under way to meet the ever increasing demands of its global customer base. These investments have included a £3.3m capital project for an electricity supply upgrade, a £0.5m new workshop facility and the new £5.6m 30,000 sq ft Richard Attenborough Stage officially named by Lord Puttnam on 23 April 2012. In addition, the Company announced on 29 February 2012 a transformational investment programme to expand its digital offering and HD television facilities. The Company’s international strategy has delivered positive growth. Our new markets in Canada, the Dominican Republic, Germany and Malaysia give the Company access to regions of the world where content production is expected to grow. The innovative water tank facility at Pinewood Indomina Studios in the Dominican Republic is expected to become operational during September 2012 and phase one of the Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios is expected to open during May 2013. In light of the level of exceptional costs incurred in the period, the Board has decided not to recommend a dividend in respect of the 15 month period to 31 March 2012, resulting in nil interim dividends paid for the 15 month period. The Board is committed to pay dividends in line with its dividend policy of not less than three times cover.

Ralph Topping, Chief Executive of William Hill, said: "We are delighted to have been awarded our licence to operate in the State of Nevada. This now enables us to establish William Hill's first ever US operation, an important part of our international growth strategy. We will now bring together these three businesses to create a leading position in the Nevada sports betting market, combining our brand and product range with AWI's, Brandywine's and Cal Neva's extensive Nevada footprint, strong local relationships and trusted service. We look forward to working with our new colleagues to grow a leadership position in the Nevada sports betting industry and beyond." William Hill will provide further information on these acquisitions and its integration plans as part of its interim results on Friday, 27 July 2012.

William Hill licensed by Nevada Gaming Commission 22 June 2012 William Hill PLC (LSE: WMH) (William Hill or the Group), the UK's largest bookmaker, announces that the Group and certain of its senior managers were unanimously granted non-restricted gaming licences by the Nevada Gaming Commission at a meeting held in Las Vegas on 21 June 2012. A non-restricted licence is the highest tier of licence in Nevada. Accordingly, completion of the previously announced impending acquisitions of American Wagering, Inc. (AWI) (OTC:BB: BETM), Brandywine Bookmaking LLC (Brandywine) and the racing and sportsbook assets of Sierra Developments, trading as Cal Neva, is now expected to occur on 27 June 2012 for consideration of approximately $49m (£31m) in total. This amount includes $4m (£2.5m) for the settlement of debt and preference shares. In addition to this consideration, the Group advanced $6.4m (£4.1m) in arm's-length convertible loans to AWI and Brandywine prior to acquisition. Integration will take place during the summer. The acquisitions will be funded in cash and are expected to be marginally earnings enhancing (before exceptional transaction and integration costs and the amortisation of intangible assets associated with these acquisitions) in 2013. The Group expects to incur $8m (£5.1m) of exceptional transaction and integration costs over 2011 and 2012 in respect of these acquisitions.

Commenting Today, Jeff Chatfield, Chairman and Founding Director said: "The growth in revenues and profits we are now seeing is directly proportional to the number of aircraft we are delivering and will continue to grow as more aircraft go to Skywest / Virgin Australia over the coming months with four further aircraft being delivered before the end of 2012. At the same time, our strengthened balance sheet gives us greater flexibility in the way we are able to acquire aircraft and therefore our ability to accelerate the growth of revenues."
