INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
-- Revenue on a constant currency basis in line at $85.0 million (2012: $85.0 million).
-- Reported revenue down 7.5% to $85.0 million (2012: $91.9 million).
-- Operating profit down 18.1% to $14.5 million (2012: $17.7 million).
-- Basic EPS up 131.3% to 7.4 cents (2012: 3.2 cents).
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
-- We released 26 new films in the six months ended September
30, 2013, of which none were high budget films and eleven were
medium budget films, compared to 42 films in the six months ended
September 30, 2012, of which three were high budget films and five
were medium budget films.
-- While our reported currency revenues declined, on a constant
currency basis, our revenues remained flat, which reflects the
higher than average performance of our medium budget films in this
period such as Ranjhanaa, Grand Masti and internationally Yeh
Jawaani Hai Deewani.
-- Television revenues included amounts recognised under our
previously announced Viacom 18 deal and ancillary revenues and the
impact from the mix of film releases was offset by higher catalogue
revenues in the six months ended September 30, 2013, compared to
the six months ended September 30, 2012.
-- The six months ended September 30, 2013 also reflected a lack
of production services revenues attributable to EyeQube, our visual
special effects studio that closed down its business in August
2012.
-- In collaboration with HBO Asia, two premium television
channels, HBO Defined and HBO Hits, were launched on the DISH and
Airtel DTH digital platforms in February 2013, and on Hathway and
GTPL digital cable platforms in August 2013.

Operating and Financial Review
This financial review is primarily based upon the comparison of
our results for the six months ended September 30, 2013 with those
for the six months ended September 30, 2012. Unless otherwise
stated percentage growth relates to the percentage comparison
between these two periods.
Overview
We are a leading global company in the Indian film entertainment
industry and we co-produce, acquire and distribute Indian language
films in multiple formats worldwide. Our success is built on the
relationships we have cultivated over the past 30 years with
leading talent, production companies, exhibitors and other key
participants in our industry. Leveraging these relationships, we
have aggregated rights to over 2,000 titles in our library, plus
approximately 700 additional films for which we hold digital rights
only, including recent and classic titles that span different
genres, budgets and languages, and we have distributed a portfolio
of over 230 new films over the last three completed fiscal years
and 26 new films in the three months ended September 30, 2013.
The primary geographic areas from which we derive revenue are
India, Europe and North America, with the remainder of our revenue
generated from an area that we report as the rest of the world.
Outside of India, we distribute films to South Asian expatriate
populations and in countries where we release Indian films that are
subtitled or dubbed in local languages. Our primary revenue streams
are derived from three channels: theatrical, television syndication
and digital and ancillary. The contribution from these three
distribution channels can fluctuate year over year based on, among
other things, our mix of films and budget levels, the size of our
television syndication deals and our ability to license music in
any particular year.

======== ================= ======== ================= ================ =================
Revenue. Revenue was $85.0 million in the six months ended
September 30, 2013, compared to $91.9 million in the six months
ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of 6.9 million, or 7.5%. We
released 26 new films in the six months ended September 30, 2013,
of which there were no high budget films and eleven medium budget
films compared to 42 films in the six months ended September 30,
2012, of which three were high budget films and five were medium
budget films.
Revenue by customer location from India was $43.4 million in the
six months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $65.8 million in
the six months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $22.4
million, or 34.0%, principally reflecting lower theatrical revenues
due to the change in the mix of film releases and the strong
performance in the six months ended September 30, 2012 of certain
high budget films. Revenue from Europe was $9.6 million in the six
months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $14.0 million in the
six months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $4.4 million, or
31.4%, principally reflecting a decline in television and
production services revenue in the six months ended September 30,
2013. Revenue from North America was $5.9 million in the six months
ended September 30, 2013, compared to $3.4 million in the six
months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $2.5 million, or
73.5%, principally reflecting increased digital and syndication
revenues. Revenue from the rest of the world was $26.1 million in
the six months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $8.7 million
in the six months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $17.4
million, or 200.0%, principally reflecting an increase in catalogue
sales with respect to television as well as digital and ancillary
rights.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales was $54.7 million in the six months
ended September 30, 2013, compared to $62.9 million in the six
months ended September 30, 2012, a decreased of $8.2 million, or
13.0%. The decrease was primarily due to an amount of $5.5 million
impacting the six months ended September 30, 2012 due to the
rescinding of a sales contract. In addition, amortization in the
six months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by $4.6 million due
in part to the lower capitalized cost of our released slate in the
period as compared to the released slate in the six months ended
September 30, 2012.
Gross profit. Gross profit was $30.3 million in the six months
ended September 30, 2013 compared to $29.1 million in the six
months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $1.2 million, or
4.1%, driven primarily by the decrease in revenue, which was
partially offset by a decrease in cost of sales. As a percentage of
revenue, our gross profit margin increased to 35.6% in the six
months ended September 30, 2013 from 31.7% in the six months ended
September 30, 2012.
Administrative costs. Administrative costs, including rental,
legal, travel and audit expenses, were $15.8 million in the six
months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $11.3 million in the
six months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $4.5 million,
or 39.8%, which was driven by an increase of $5.9 million in share
based payments in the six months ended September 30, 2013. The
increase was primarily due to the charge arising from the issue of
shares to employees. As a percentage of revenue, administrative
costs were 18.6% in the six months ended September 30, 2013,
compared to 12.3% in the six months ended September 30, 2012.
Net finance costs. Net finance costs in the six months ended
September 30, 2013 were $4.2 million, compared to $0.5 million in
the six months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $3.7
million, or 740.0%. The increase was primarily attributable to a
reduction in finance income together with higher finance costs
reflecting an overall increase in net debt as a result of increased
working capital and continued investment in content.
Other gains and losses. Other gains in the six months ended
September 30, 2013 were $5.2 million, principally comprised of a
$5.0 million interest rate derivative gain and a net foreign
exchange gain of $0.2 million, compared to a loss of $9.8 million
in the six months ended September 30, 2012, principally arising
from a foreign exchange loss of $1.2 million and a $8.4 million
interest rate derivative loss. The foreign exchange gain for the
six months ended September 30, 2013 was mainly caused by the fall
of the U.S dollar as compared to the sterling which impacted
Sterling deposits, offset by the fall of India Rupee as compared to
the U.S. Dollar which impacted U.S. Dollar denominated loans in one
of our Indian subsidiaries.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense in the six months ended
September 30, 2013 was $3.9 million, compared to $1.9 million in
the six months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $2.0
million, or 105.3%. Our effective tax rate was 25.2% in the six
months ended September 30, 2013 and 26.1% in the six months ended
September 30, 2012.

million, or 31.0%, notwithstanding a decrease in interest paid and
a reduction in taxes in the six months ended September 30, 2013 of
$0.3 million and $1.4 million respectively. In addition, there was
an increase in working capital of $18.6 million in the six months
ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to a $2.9 million decrease
in trade payables and an increase in trade receivables of $15.7
million, compared to a $3.2 million decrease in trade receivables
and a $3.1 million increase in trade payables in the six months
ended September 30, 2012.
Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended
September 30, 2013 was $59.8 million, compared to $94.7 million in
the six months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $34.9
million, or 36.9%, reflecting a lower investment in film content.
Our investment in film content in the six months ended September
30, 2013 was $61.2 million, compared to $98.0 million in the six
months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $36.8million, or
37.6%, reflecting the lower comparable overall cost of films
released in the two periods.
Net cash from financing activities in the six months ended
September 30, 2013 was $22.0 million, compared to a net cash
outflow of $4.8 million in the six months ended September 30, 2012,
principally due to the additional net proceeds of long-term
borrowings of $12.9 million as well as short-term borrowings of
$10.6 million.
The results for the six months ended September 30, 2012 have
been restated to be consistent with the application of average
exchange rates being applied on a quarterly basis as opposed to a
six monthly basis and also to incorporate changes in estimates
relating to derivatives as reflected in the audited results for the
year ended March 31, 2013. While this affects the figures for the
six months ended September 30, 2012, the figures for the year ended
March 31, 2013 are as previously reported.

EROS INTERNATIONAL PLC
UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Eros International Plc ("Eros") and its subsidiaries' (the
"Group") principal activities include the acquisition,
co-production and distribution of Indian films and related content.
Eros International Plc is the Group's ultimate parent company. It
is incorporated and domiciled in the Isle of Man. The address of
Eros International Plc's registered office is Fort Anne, Douglas,
Isle of Man, IM1 5PD. Eros International Plc's shares are admitted
to trading on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock
Exchange ("AIM").
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are
prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS)
34, "Interim financial reporting" as issued by International
Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). They do not include all of the
information required in annual financial statements in accordance
with IFRS as endorsed by the European Union, as issued by IASB and
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2013.
The accounting policies applied are consistent with the policies
that were applied for the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended March 31, 2013, except the
application of the followings standards IFRS 10 'Consolidated
Financial Statements', IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements' and IFRS 13 '
Fair Value Measurements'. The effect of applying these standards
has not resulted in any impact on the classification or accounting
treatment of any items within the financial statements, but has led
to certain enhanced disclosures.
The composition of the Group and the ownership interests in
subsidiaries remain the same as those of March 31, 2013. All the
subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the principal activities of
the Group.
The Group meets its day to day working capital requirements and
funds its investment in content through a variety of banking
arrangements and cash generated from operations. There were no
material contingent liabilities as at September 30, 2013, except
for the amounts noted in relation to contractual obligations and
commitments in note 15.
The condensed interim financial statements for the six months
ended September 30, 2013 were approved by the Eros Board of
Directors and authorized for issue on 23 October, 2013.
2. SEASONALITY
The Groups' financial position and results of operations for any
period fluctuate due to film release schedules. Film release
schedules take account of holidays and festivals in India and
elsewhere, competitor film releases and sporting events.
3. BUSINESS SEGMENTAL DATA
Eros acquires co-produces and distributes Indian films in
multiple formats worldwide. Film content is monitored and strategic
decisions around the business operations are made based on the film
content, whether it is new release or catalog. Hence, management
identifies only one operating segment in the business, film
content. We distribute our film content to the Indian population in
India, the South Asian diaspora worldwide and to non-Indian
consumers who view Indian films that are subtitled or dubbed in
local languages. As a result of these distribution activities, Eros
has identified four geographic markets, India, North America,
Europe and the Rest of the World.

Fair value of the long term borrowing as at September 30, 2013
is $ 186,366,000 (2013:$ $ 176,093,000). Carrying amount of
short-term borrowings approximates fair value. Fair values of
long-term financial liabilities have been determined by calculating
their present values at the reporting date, using fixed effective
market interest rates available to the Group.
13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Disclosures of fair value measurements are grouped into the
following levels:
-- Level 1 fair value measurements derived from unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;
-- Level 2 fair value measurements derived from inputs, other
than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly
(derived from prices); and
-- Level 3 fair value measurements derived from valuation
techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are
not based on observable market data.
