The evolution of the library, in line with the policy of the company, shows a slight decline, with an increase in movie co-productions and Spanish fiction rights (in-house production) and a decline in the third party rights. As for current assets, the decrease is mainly explained by having less cash following the investment the investment in Endemol. The increase in Non-current financial liabilities is the effect of an inter-company loan given by Mediaset to the Group, to contribute 25% to the acquisition of Endemol; Current liabilities have increased due to higher liabilities for the increase of investment in Spanish fiction rights and for increased selling cost related to the rise in revenues. www.inversores.telecinco.es 11
