DORI MEDIA EXPECTS TO REPORT 2007 RESULTS ABOVE MARKET EXPECTATIONS ON THE BACK
OF STRONG SALES AND POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS

Dori Media Group ('Dori Media' or 'DMG'), the international media company active in the field of television, with a focus on production, distribution,
broadcasting and merchandising of Telenovela, is pleased to update the market on its performance for the year ended 31 December 2007, in advance of the
announcement of its preliminary results on February 21, 2008.

The Directors are expecting to report a strong set of preliminary results for
the year ended 31 December 2007, around 10% ahead of current market
expectations. Dori Media's revenues have been strengthened by a very successful
participation at the MIPCOM audiovisual content market in Cannes (France) where, as reported in December, DMG closed deals worth more than US$6.3 million with the potential total rising to US$9.9 million if further contractual options are exercised.

Other positive developments include Dori Media's acquisition of a 50% stake in
Dori Media Central Studios (formerly Central Park Productions) in Buenos Aires,
which guaranteed DMG precious production time at one of the busiest studios in
the city and enabled Dori Media Central Studios to secure a US$3.6 million three year deal to let one of their three television studios to Ideas Del Sur.

Dori Media would also like to report a very promising start to Dori Media
Spike's agreement with 'HOT', the biggest multi channel platform in Israel, to
run their movie and general entertainment channels. DMG won an RFP to run 'Hot'
in July 2007 with revenues expected to reach between US$52.5 million and US$67.5 million over the initial 3 year contract. The income generated from this agreement will not appear on DMG's 2007 preliminary results as the deal
commenced on January 1st 2008.

Nadav Palti, President and CEO of Dori Media Group, commented: '2007 was a very
successful year for Dori Media and our preliminary results will reflect this.
The launch of our latest Telenovela 'LaLola' was a particular highlight having
been sold to 24 countries in less than six months.

'We are very confident about the Group's prospects for 2008, particularly as
there is a growing appetite for Telenovelas among the Western European TV
audience. We also look forward to the contribution of Dori Media Paran and Dori
Media Darset to our success in 2008 following their promising start to the
year'.

Trading ahead of expectations

Dori Media has announced that its FY07 results (to 31 December) will be c.10% ahead of expectations.

The outperformance in FY07was principally based on a strong surge in revenue at the end of the year following a hugely successful Cannes MIPCOM festival ($6.3m and $9.9m actual/potential total sales) and the launch of its latest in-house Telenovela production, LaLola.

LaLola has now been sold into 24 countries globally in less than six months. This is an outstanding performance and provides positive immediate upside, as well as longer-term secondary and high margin revenue generation.

Elsewhere, the group has expanded its production capabilities (acquisition of studios in Argentina announced October 2007), securing in-house production time and driving revenue from leasing of one of the three studios.

Critically, the group has also today stated that the start-up of its HOT contract (estimated annual revenues of $20m over three years) has been very promising, underpinning our FY08E forecasts.

With the company very confident about the groups prospects for 2008 we see forecast risk very much on the upside and expect to raise numbers at the time of its prelims on 21 February 2008.

Based on a 10% outperformance of our FY07E estimates, the group is trading at just 9.7x FY07E earnings and 8.2x FY08E.

This rating significantly undervalues the groups base of TV production, broadcasting and distribution operations, with a strong, niche and fast growing position in the global Telenovela and broader TV industry.

We retain our Buy recommendation with 84% upside to our unchanged 278p price target.

Fantastic results, with huge growth coming in the next two years. I don't normally post recommendations to buy or hyperbole about companies but this company is flying in a very very secure market. The deal with SOny is particularly exciting, and they have m managed all the growth without diminishing margins.

Nice set of results :)

Dori Media - BUY

Price: 159p Target price: 343p Code: DMG.L Analyst: James Hollins | 020 7776 6571


FY results; forecasts & target upgrades

Dori Media is our key pick in the media sector. The company has reported FY07A results c.19% ahead of our expectations.

We are upgrading our FY08E estimate by 13% and introducing a FY09E forecast of 51.5c (+24% vs FY08E).

We apply a 13x target multiple to FY09E EPS (343p target, 116% upside) and reiterate our Buy stance.

Doris FY07A results reflect top-line growth of 47.1% ($30.0m vs $20.4m), with solid increases across all divisions.

The largest division by revenue, TV series rights sales (+71% YoY, c.60% of group sales), benefited from strong recurring revenue, as well as substantial growth from new additional content, including Lalola.

Group gross margin increased from 73.4% in FY06A to 73.7% in FY07A (vs 69.0% forecast) with lower-than-expected content acquisition costs.

The group reported EPS of 33.8c, equating to 19.3% out performance against our 28.41c forecast and representing YoY earnings growth of 25.4%.

Following the FY07A results, and given our bullish outlook, we are upgrading FY08E PBT from $11.1m to $12.5m (+12.4%), with a resulting (unchanged tax rate of 21.0%) increase in earnings of 12.6%, from 36.97c to 41.62c.

We are introducing a forecast for FY09E, showing top-line growth of 35.2% to $82.5m, with earnings growth of 23.8% to 51.51c.

The resulting FY08E and FY09E multiples of 7.5x and 6.0x fail to reflect the strength of the business.

We believe that the company deserves a genuine growth multiple and premium to the UK television production sub-sector.

Doris growth potential and existing position in the global Telenovela industry, in our opinion, justify a target of 13x FY09E earnings. On this basis, we apply a target price of 343p.

The value of the cash generative nature of the business is borne out in our DCF-based valuation that drives our bull-case valuation of 405p.
