Press Release

26 February 2010

 

Asia Digital Holdings plc

("Asia Digital" or "the Group")

 

Trading Update

 

Asia Digital Holdings plc (AIM: ADH.L), an independent online marketing group, is pleased to announce the following trading update for the year ended 31 December 2009. The Group will announce its final results for the year ended 31 December 2009 on Tuesday, 27 April 2010.

 

Though loss making for the period as a whole, the Group returned to EBITDA positive trading throughout the last quarter of 2009 and as a result was ahead of expectations. This was driven by its Asian operations achieving break even trading, a post recessionary improvement in its Australian business and cost savings afforded by a restructured operational management team.

 

Cash flow, adversely affected by trading in the period, was assisted by the issue of a £0.5 million convertible loan note in the second quarter and by a £1.275 million (before expenses) placing in the third quarter. The bulk of the proceeds were applied to strengthen the balance sheet via the paying down of certain legacy creditors. Working capital management is expected to remain a priority throughout the current period.

 

The Group's Asian expansion was driven by recognition that the region has experienced strong growth in Internet users and digital advertising spend along with attractive supply side dynamics. This attraction remains as these key metrics have continued to grow and are expected to grow further.

 

Commenting on the trading update, Adrian Moss, Chief Executive Officer of Asia Digital Holdings, said: "We are pleased to have returned the Group to a positive EBITDA position by the end of the year and remain excited by the opportunity. Overall, the Board is cautiously optimistic moving into 2010."
