[1] We have a cash pooling arrangement with Bank Mendes Gans (“BMG”), a subsidiary of ING Bank N.V. (“ING”), which enables us to receive credit across the group in respect of cash balances which our subsidiaries deposit with BMG. Cash deposited by our subsidiaries with BMG is pledged as security against the drawings of other subsidiaries up to the amount deposited. As at March 31, 2013, we had deposits of US$ 28.9 million in and drawings of US$ 0.8 million on the BMG cash pool. Interest is earned on deposits at the relevant money market rate and interest is payable on all drawings at the relevant money market rate plus 2.0%. As at December 31, 2012, we had deposits of US$ 30.3 million in and drawings of US$ 0.5 million on the BMG cash pool.

[2] As at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no drawings outstanding under a CZK 830.0 million (approximately US$ 41.4 million) factoring framework agreement with Factoring Ceska Sporitelna (“FCS”). Under this facility up to CZK 830.0 million (approximately US$ 41.4 million) may be factored on a recourse or non-recourse basis. The facility bears interest at one-month PRIBOR plus 2.5% for the period that actively assigned accounts receivable are outstanding.

[3] At March 31, 2013, our operations in Romania had an aggregate principal amount of RON 11.9 million (approximately US$ 3.4 million) (December 31, 2012, RON 11.9 million, approximately US$ 3.4 million based on March 31, 2013 rates) of loans outstanding with the Central National al Cinematografei ("CNC"), a Romanian governmental organization which provides financing for qualifying filmmaking projects. Upon acceptance of a particular project, the CNC awards an agreed level of funding to each project in the form of an interest-free loan. Loans from the CNC are typically advanced for a period of ten years and are repaid through the proceeds from the distribution of the film content. At March 31, 2013, we had 16 loans outstanding with the CNC with maturity dates ranging from 2014 to 2021. The carrying amounts at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are net of a fair value adjustment of US$ 1.0 million and US$ 1.0 million, respectively, arising on acquisition.
