BRIGHTON, ENGLAND, Feb. 12, 2004 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- E-learning solutions provider Futuremedia Plc (NASDAQ: FMDAY) (www.futuremedia.co.uk) today announced unaudited financial results for the 3-month period ending January 31, 2004. The Company`s financial year ends on April 30.

For the three-month period ending January 31, 2004, the Company reported revenues of GBP 6,546,000 ($11,888,000) an increase of GBP 6,203,000 ($11,264,000) compared to Q3 2003.

The Company reported a net profit for the quarter of GBP 67,000 ($122,000), representing an improvement of GBP 489,000 ($888,000) or 116% compared to the net loss of GBP 422,000 in Q3 2003. This includes a non-cash charge of GBP 180,000 ($327,000), being the National Insurance cost provision required on outstanding stock options as a result of the Company`s improved share price at the period end, in accordance with accounting regulation. Excluding this non-cash charge, the Company had an operating profit of GBP 254,000 ($461,000). The Company believes that highlighting operating results before taking into account such charges, over which it has no direct control, provides useful information in understanding its ongoing operations.

Mats Johansson, CEO of Futuremedia, said: " As a result of the continued improvement in our business performance we are pleased to announce the Company`s return to profitability -- one quarter ahead of our previously stated aim of returning the Company to net profitability within this fiscal year.

" The main event of the quarter was the launch of the Royal Mail Learning For All(TM) programme on which we started to deliver at the middle of December. Until now, less than half of the orders received to date have actually been delivered. The success of the programme has not only resulted in a substantial increase in revenues, but has also heightened our profile in our target markets, resulting in an increased number of potential new contracts under discussion.

" The Royal Mail Learning For All(TM) campaign has furthermore given us better visibility on upcoming quarters, as under current revenue recognition rules, not all revenue is immediately recognized. The revenue resulting from non-core business, such as the supplying of off-the-shelf hardware and software, delivered by partners such as Fujitsu-Siemens, is mainly recognized on delivery. Revenue resulting from our core business -- hosting services, the net-based learning modules, support and use of the Learning Management System -- will be recognized over a three-year period, and is expected to carry a better profit margin than the revenue recognised up-front. As a result we expect Q4 will not only be a strong quarter in terms of revenue, but will also see a further improvement in our net profit.

" During the quarter we also recruited a number of outstanding individuals, in order to bring the number of staff and management to a level were we can successfully continue to deliver our business plan of growing the Company into a European leader in our industry."

" The operating results and business achievements during this quarter are most gratifying to the Board and are a testament to the great efforts of our highly professional and motivated employees and management team," commented Jan Vandamme, Chairman of the board of Directors. " During the first two quarters of this fiscal year we moved from the cost control phase to the growth phase and during this third quarter we have continued to execute our return to profitability plan. Management`s continued on-time delivery of the business plan, coupled with a debt free balance sheet and sufficient financial resources, has now put Futuremedia in the position of being able to self-finance further significant organic growth."
