New Business Update

MediaZest Plc ("MediaZest", the "Company" or "Group"; AIM: MDZ) New Business Update MediaZest, the creative audio-visual company, is pleased to provide shareholders with a update on new business confirmed for delivery in the calendar year 2015. The Group has continued to execute its strategy as set out previously, namely: * Maximise opportunities by focussing the Group's marketing and sales efforts to acquire and develop business with large scale customers with potential of rolling out digital signage in multiple locations; * Improve the Group's recurring revenue streams through different managed service offerings; * Develop proprietary products such as MediaZest Retail Analytics which can generate intellectual property on the balance sheet and provide ongoing revenue streams; * Market the Group's `one stop shop' positioning to a wide range of global retailers in conjunction with existing partners. Progress on all these fronts has been made in the first quarter of calendar year 2015. Sales and New customers Following successful projects in 2014, ongoing work continues with clients such as Samsung, Kuoni, HMV, Churchill Retirement Homes, ETC Venues, Belstaff and Hyundai / Rockar. The education sector continues to be well represented with delivery of a large multi-room installation project at University of London continuing and expected to complete in April 2015 with a project value of in excess of £150,000. Other orders from key clients in this sector total nearly £200,000. The deployment of the Hyundai / Rockar innovative showroom in Bluewater is leading to a number of additional opportunities with both parties. Some of these are ongoing revenue streams bringing additional work in the first four months of 2015. The Board believe that this project will ultimately generate further substantial revenues for the Group with both clients in the first half of the Group's financial year ending 31 March 2016 and beyond. The Group has continued to work with Pfizer providing marketing services at events around the globe. Recent successful events have been delivered in Turin, New York, Berlin, Dublin and Las Vegas, with MediaZest technology and support at each. More events are to follow, including UK based activity, starting in April. Over the past 18 months, the Group has invested considerable time and effort to develop an opportunity with one of the UK's largest retailers. Following a successful concept store project in Summer 2014, this has now led to an opportunity to demonstrate how MediaZest can use technology to transform and improve customer journey and experience in the retail store. Deployment will include the Company's full managed service offering and, subject to successful performance, could lead to extremely large additional opportunities for the Group over an extended period of time. Due to client confidentiality about the project, the Company has been asked not to reveal details until it is formally released into the public domain. The Group expects to be in a position to reveal further details of this project when it is launched later this quarter. Brand new clients in the period include Ted Baker, American Eagle, The Mall and Acuvue with several additional new customers expected to be confirmed in the next quarter from existing pipeline opportunities. Total initial revenues generated from just the aforementioned projects alone total almost £1million of new work recognised in calendar year 2015 with ongoing or additional projects for many of them already confirmed for later in that year. Approximately 60% of the revenue from these new wins is expected to be recognised in the financial year beginning 1 April 2015. Recurring Revenue Streams and MediaZest Retail Analytics To increase recurring revenue streams, the Group has renewed focus and promotion of its consulting, content management and content creation skills. Being able to offer this as a managed service, combined with installation, integration and service and maintenance offerings, has proven successful in recent weeks, particularly with clients looking to deploy digital signage for the first time. The Group continues to promote the Retail Analytics product and with successful deployment and renewal now achieved it has demonstrated this in the public domain for the first time, at the Retail Design Expo at the beginning of March 2015. Now the system has been tested and verified by a client in a live environment, new customers have been sought. It is the Board's expectation that, given the nature of this work, some clients will initially trial the system before committing to projects. Two new clients have already been confirmed to trial this over the next few months and the Group will report further on progress in this area in due course.
