AGM Statement

One Media iP Group plc ("One Media", "the Company" or "the Group") AGM Statement At the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of One Media, due to be held later today at the Group's Pinewood Studio offices, Chairman and CEO, Michael Infante, will provide the following statement to shareholders: "It has been a highly encouraging period since we reported a strong performance in our Preliminary Results for year ending October 2013 announced in February 2014, where we stated that profit from continuing operations was up 22.4% and turnover was up 26.8%. I am pleased to report today that trading continues to be in line with the markets' expectation and One Media remains a profitable, debt free and cash resourced media business with a continuing and sustainable dividend policy in place. "We continue to acquire more music and video content to enhance our offering to the digital worldwide stores which One Media supplies and we are satisfied with our trading since the year end. Our world of digital content continues to evolve with many of One Media's general market views becoming reality with the continued shift from the physical world of the compact disc and DVD to an online intangible product. The Board sees the emergence of in-car digital entertainment via 3/4G or GPRS gaining traction as the major motor companies embrace our medium. We additionally embrace the growing number of homes that are now streaming TV, Music & Film content via their WiFi to their Smart TVs. Recently, it has also been widely reported in the national press that we as an industry are experiencing a shift from the existing iTunes model of 'Downloading' to the Spotify model of 'Streaming' with both positive and negative implications to the music and video industry accordingly. One Media greets all methods of digital exploitation as positive, and continues to monitor the benefits or changes that it has to your Group. It must be said that the benefits of the 'Streaming' model is a practical `counter' to piracy which still accounts for losses of income in all aspects of the digital industry whether it be music, video or gaming. "I look forward on updating shareholders on further progress in due course and welcome any questions at today's AGM."
