Content and Rights Acquisition The first new catalogue of video contains 38 episodes of `The Adventures of Skippy', as well as `Skippy the Movie' first produced in the 1990s, the episodes follow on from the original `Skippy' series of the 1960s, and developed a widespread following when first broadcast. The second video content catalogue contains footage know as `Alien Autopsy' and documentaries relating to the 1990s autopsy on the body of an extraterrestrial purported to have been recovered from the crash of a UFO near Roswell, New Mexico. The documentary about the autopsy, presented by Jonathan Frakes, was widely considered to be one of the most controversial TV documentary specials ever aired on US Prime Time television. The autopsy footage was subsequently used in the movie `Alien Autopsy' starring Ant & Dec. Finally, the Group is pleased to announce that it has secured exclusive digital rights to a catalogue of video programs first licensed to the company in September 2011. The content will be made available and exploited exclusively by One Media digitally via YouTube. Containing over 400 hours of content, the 200+ music video-documentaries feature behind-the-scenes and `fan-based special feature' looks at artists such as; David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, Marc Bolan, Limp Bizkit, Lennon & Harrison (the Guitars that Gently Weep), Thin Lizzy, Elvis, Bob Marley, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Andy Williams and the late Tony Bennett. Michael Infante, Chairman and CEO, commented: "We are very pleased that our first announcement of results on AIM is so positive. The Group continues to deliver shareholder value, both through improved financial performance and the acquisition of content which we believe adds real value to One Media. The new catalogues acquired today are exactly the types of content we target, and the extension of our existing rights on the third catalogue is also a real positive. We can look forward with confidence as the digital media space continues to grow and the Group grows with it."

It has long been my intention to list the company on AIM, and I am pleased to be listed on a market which matches the company's ambition. The last six months have been a very busy time for the Group. We negotiated an advance against royalties of $2.5m USD from our digital distributor, maintained our dividend policy and have been nominated for national awards from both the Institute of Directors and the Small Cap Markets Awards. Most pleasing of all, however, was our successful move to the AIM market. The fundraising associated with our listing, I am happy to report, was fully subscribed. We raised the targeted £ 750,000, and brought several institutional investors on-board. The Group's turnover has increased by 32% to over £1.3m, our profits increased by 28% to £0.26m (before AIM costs) and the Group's cash balance remains healthy at £1.9m. We will now look to focus our energies on acquiring more content, whether branded (as with the Men & Motors deal in December 2012) or not, and will continue to develop the skills of our in-house team of Creative Technicians. Financial Overview In April 2013, gross proceeds of £750,000 were raised from the Placing of 9,375,000 0.5p ordinary shares at a price of 8p a share, with direct costs associated with the Placing of £50,501. Subsequent to the Placing, the Group's shares were admitted to trading on the AIM market with an additional one off cost of £196,559 directly related to the Admission. The Group reported a consolidated turnover of £1,325,119, an increase of 32.2% on the equivalent period last year, resulting in a profit before tax from continuing activities (excluding AIM float and associated costs) of £262,180, an increase of 28.1% on the £204,596 achieved for the same six months in 2012. During the period the Group invested a further £273,209 in copyrights and received a USD$2,250,000 advance against royalties from its primary distribution partner, The Orchard. As per an agreement signed on 1 November 2012, a further USD$250,000 is due on or by 30 June 2013. Cash balances of £1,919,668 are reported as of 30 April 2013 (2012: £792,938). Profit after tax for the period, after the AIM float and associated costs, was £17,467. On the reported Net Profit after tax, basic earnings per share are 0.031p. However, "like for like" earnings per share on the post tax profit from continuing activities is 0.38p. Dividend A dividend of 0.037p per share was paid in November 2012 for the year ended 31 October 2012, and the Group is pleased to announce that it intends to pay an interim dividend of 0.078p per ordinary share in respect of the 6 month period ended 30 April 2013. The ex-dividend date of this payment is 26 June 2013, the record date is 28 June 2013 and the expected payment date is 9 July 2013. Operational Overview During the period, we have acquired significantly more visual content, from early Sooty episodes to the entire brand of the Men & Motors shows from Granada /ITV. Despite a focus on video content, the Group has not neglected its audio catalogue. We recently acquired the Peppermint Music catalogue (featuring hits from Alvin Stardust, Connie Francis and Kid Creole to name a few). We are also delighted that today, outside the period covered by this report, we have announced the acquisition of two new video catalogues, including `The Adventures of Skippy' and `Alien Autopsy', and an extension of its existing rights to a previously acquired catalogue of over 400 hours of music documentaries at a cost of USD $100,000 plus an ongoing royalty. We currently provide over 170,000 music tracks and over 5,000 visual programs, and we view this as just the beginning. Now, as an AIM Listed company, we will invest further into our chosen genres and continue to monetise content, which can then be accessed by a broad viewing public. This expansion strategy is not limited to the UK, with most of our content available world-wide as the digital stores we deal with expand the territories in which they operate Market Overview The world of both audio and visual media is changing rapidly, as digital delivery providers seek to stay ahead of the curve in their bid for market share. BT, Virgin Media/Liberty Global and Sky continue to flex their muscles financially for market position as they jockey to become the preferred option for broadband delivery. Apple has finally announced its streaming site, iTunes Radio, and YouTube is destined to become a new program provider as Internet Protocol TV (`IPTV') becomes a standard in Smart TV applications. None of us can predict who will win your subscription pound at this stage, but what we do know is that a world of change is upon us all. Those of a certain age will remember when the choice of programming was restricted to four terrestrial TV channels and four analogue national radio stations, a video-cassette recorder was your in-home entertainment centre and a cassette player in the car was considered to be a mobile device. Now we live in a world of infinite content possibilities. Thousands of TV programmes of all genres are broadcast 24/7, catering to any appetite or taste via every digital medium, through a choice of viewing devices both mobile and static. As these various mediums emerge and become more established customers are consuming their chosen doses of media entertainment at a variety of price points, ranging from those who only stream for free to those who spend hundreds of pounds a month. Viewers and investors alike can be sure of one thing: content is a key driver in this expanding market. Yes, we need pipes of delivery, and yes, technology will provide the platform for that delivery; but without good content at its core, a platform is largely meaningless, regardless of how sophisticated it may be. With this in mind, it's no wonder we continue to invest so robustly in our program of nostalgic content acquisition, with its established audience and proven track record. Outlook The Directors continue to believe that the Group is well positioned to meet all the demands of the digital market as it continues to evolve and influence consumer demand. We have the technical ability, internal systems, financial controls and personnel to meet the exacting demands of both our digital partners for distribution and those from whom we acquire our audio-visual content. Consumer demand continues to rise in line with market expectation and as a digital content-only `Netlabel' we are not exposed to the vagaries and decline of the high street retailers, which are susceptible to the continued decline and legacy of the physical medium of compact discs and DVDs. I look forward to meeting the demands of the emerging digital markets with our newly established AIM listed company and thank you for your continued support in OMiP.
