The media business

MwindaTV and Multimedia Productions

A streaming service and the production company that feeds it. One business, because MMP already makes MwindaTV’s content and separating them would count the same work twice.

Where the revenue comes from

Subscriptions across three tiers, plus MMP’s external production work. What MMP makes for MwindaTV is inside MwindaTV’s content cost, once.

What is not in this number

$14.8M a year of group cost sits above all three businesses in Year 10: corporate overhead, taxes and withholding, political risk insurance, currency conversion and the asset replacement reserve. It attaches to a company or a statute rather than to a business, so it is shown separately rather than pushed onto this page by an invented share.

How the split was made

Nothing here is allocated by a percentage. Each figure is a published cost line with named parts moved between businesses, and the four columns are checked to add back to the whole. That check caught a $530,029 double count the first time it ran.
