Executive Chairman's Statement
For the year ended 31 October 2011
Financial Overview
We have been busy, in what can only be described as an evolutionary time for the music industry. We are pleased to announce a very
positive list of achievements core to our business activities. We continue to be profitable and debt free. During the year we acquired
over fifteen new music catalogues, with more than 20,000 tracks of music contained within, and our first movie catalogue of some
3000 hours of audio-visual content.
On the 17th November 2010, we reported that the Share buy-back at 0.458 pence of 52.43% (47,909,291 shares) of the Group's
ordinary shares had been finally completed and cancelled. The Group instigated this after an audit of its shareholder base after the
collapse of the distressed broker Square Mile Securities.
On the 1st February 2011, the Group announced that it had appointed Hybridan LLP as its new Plus Corporate Adviser.
On the 24th June 2011, we announced a maiden interim dividend which will now be the Group's future intention, at appropriate times,
to enhance and reward shareholders.
We have achieved all of this whilst increasing turnover to £1,662,516. This is a year on year increase of 14.3% on the equivalent
figure of £1,454,320 for 2010. Pre-tax profits are reported at £330,810; up by 32.5% on the £249,731 reported for 2010.
Review of Activities
During the past year the Group acquired a significant number of catalogues. These acquisitions demonstrate the Group's ability to
work within the cash resources it has to hand and to monetise often-redundant content catalogues. None of the acquisitions
mentioned below come with “income” and generally the benefits to the Group will be felt in the following 12 to 15 months after
acquisition as we market all the recordings.
On the 3rd November 2010, the Group acquired over 120 recordings performed by various artists such as Englebert Humperdinck,
Dionne Warwick, The Righteous Brothers, Roger Whittaker, Andy Williams, and Barry White.
On the 26th November 2010, we acquired a further 3000 tracks of Film, TV and Karaoke Music themes of which some were due to be
recorded during the financial year to ensure the group had the latest in Karaoke tunes. The nature of this deal is to provide the Group
with a new library of music covering popular themes, which perform well within the `digital' and `music synchronisation' markets.
On the 30th November 2010, the Group revisited a deal it had entered on a royalty sharing basis in January 2010 with Legend World
Music and bought out their (LGM) share of royalty bearing monies for total consideration of USD$44,000. The digital exploitation deal
includes the rights to some very early Marvin Gaye, Doobie Brothers, Saxon, Donnie & Marie Osmond, Billy Preston and early
sessions of Bee Gees which are amongst the 3,500 tracks included in this deal and has already produced enhanced profit for the
Group.
On the 22nd February 2011, we announced that a deal had been completed with British singing diva Anita Harris. Over 90 songs
performed by her, from over the last 40 years, were acquired together with an agreement to record a series of children’s (pre-school)
pantomime stories for digital use. The initial series of children’s stories were recorded and released in December 2011.
On the 7th March 2011, the board announced that it had approved a share option scheme to its senior management and long serving
employees. This further demonstrates how committed the Group is to its small dedicated team and to offer them a chance to
participate in the rewards of the Groups future growth.
On the 1th April 2011, and not because it was April Fools Day, the Group announced a recording contract with the comedy club chain,
Jongleurs. Jongleurs are to record performances from its ‘live stand up’ for digital distribution making many hundreds of hours of
`stand up' comedy available via digital stores.

Executive Chairman's Statement (continued)
For the year ended 31 October 2011
Review of Activities continued
On the 6th April 2011, the Group entered into a licensing arrangement with the owners of GUT, Gusto, Jet Star and Collins Classic’s
music catalogues. With over 8000 recordings from various artists performing within the catalogue including; Jimmy Somerville, Rick
Wakeman, Space (featuring eight chart hits including `Female of the Species'), Tears for Fears, Tony Christie, including the hit `Is this
the way to Amarillo', Booker T & the MGs, The Egg (Walking Away), Thelma Houston, Gregory Isaacs, Prince Buster (Al Capone) Fat
Boy Slim, Groove Armada Wyclef Jean, Barry Biggs, Wildhearts, Shaun The Sheep, The Flaming Lips, and David Morales (Grammy
winning house music DJ and producer). There are classical performances from The London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Sir
Alexander Gibson, Yuri Simonovand Carl Davis conducting the Munich Symphony Orchestra, and Andrey Zaboronok conducting The
Bolshoi Theatre Children's Choir.
On the 11th April 2011, we announced the acquisition of a classical catalogue containing many recordings by the Royal Philharmonic
Orchestra. The performances, many of which are conducted by André Previn, Yehudi Menuhin, Charles Groves, Carl Davis and other
great conductors, feature classical music composed by Tchaikovsky, Marler, Berlioz and Elgar. Performances of Tchaikovsky's
Symphony No 5 in E Minor, Mahler's 5th Symphony, Tippett's A Child of Our Time and Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique, Pomp and
Circumstance and Jerusalem are just a few of the performances acquired.
On the 20th April 2011, the Group launched The Dave Cash Collection featuring over 1000 digital albums compiled from the One
Media music library. The Group exclusively retained the services of Dave Cash, the 60's `Pirate Radio London' D.J. and pioneer of
BBC’s Radio 1. `The Dave Cash Collection' features hits and rarities from the Groups catalogue from over the last six decades,
coinciding with Dave’s career as a legendary broadcaster.
On the 13th May 2011, I was awarded the PLUS-SX Chairman/CEO of the year award. I was delighted to accept the award of this
coveted accolade. This award recognises the fantastic achievements made by the One Media team over the last year, which I have
the honour of leading and I am grateful to all those who have worked so hard in driving One Media forwards.
On the 1st of June 2011, we acquired a spoken word version of the Bible. Over 300 hours of both the New and Old Testaments have
been made available through all digital stores that list spoken word products. At the time I said that I didn't expect One Media to `be
spreading the word' but the Bible remains in written form a world best seller.
On the 2nd of June 2011, we announced our participation with the `Amazon Create a Disc' system. Initially, over 4500 albums from the
One Media catalogue have been made available to this service, which allows customers to both download a digital file of an album
and to request a physical compact disc version to be sent to them in the post. The service, which was pioneered in the USA, will first
be offered in Germany and may well be extended to other territories as Amazon expands this service. One Media has not historically
supplied physical versions of its music content to date and welcomed this initiative by Amazon to supply compact discs of its digital
albums via its new service. Notably, no stock is held as albums are burned on demand.
On the 15th July 2011, we concluded an exclusive distribution deal for the music of British heavy metal legends ‘Samson’. Over 200
recordings have been made available, some of them never previously released. Many of the recordings we assumed lost in time or in
archives. Liberating ‘niche’ music collections remains a group criteria.
On the 12th September 2011, the big news sweeping Europe was about Music Term Extension. We welcomed the EU Committee’s
recommendation to extend copyright terms from fifty to seventy years. The recommendation will extend all of One Media's copyrights
by up to 40 per cent, and follows a campaign by record companies and artists to change terms so that they are ‘on par’ with those in
the USA. The change is one that will benefit us tremendously, together with the performing artists who have long strived for an
extension to copyright terms. It's a significant milestone in the music industry and an encouraging sign that a level playing field is being
created.
On the 13th September 2011, the Group renewed its first music contract that was signed originally in 2006. Initially for five years the
deal between the Group and Rainbow Media was re-signed for a further ten years. On historic and current trading values the
catalogue is expected to generate in excess of USD$200,000 in digital revenues throughout the extended term.
On the 28th September 2011, we announced that we had acquired over 990 films and music documentaries. With over 3000 hours of
film footage featuring documentaries with Elvis, The Beatles, Bob Marley, and David Bowie to Frank Sinatra, The Osmonds and
James Brown. The specialist interest library features rare footage from the Titanic, Marilyn Monroe and behind the scenes from
vintage Dr. Who episodes. When One Media started in 2006 we had just 2,500 music tracks - we now have in excess of 120,000
generating income. We are now committed to Movie titles to meet the requirements of the expanding number of digital stores and
distributors, such as You-Tube, Satellite Broadcast and Internet Ready TV stations.

One Media Publishing Group PLC
Executive Chairman's Statement (continued)
For the year ended 31 October 2011
Review of Activities continued
On the 30th September 2011, we acquired the music content from the Arrow Rock catalogue, which contains 120 tracks by nostalgic
bands such as, Flock of Seagulls, The Gap Band, Steve Gibbons, Atomic Rooster, Mott the Hoople, Gary US Bonds, Michael Zager
Band, Commander Cody, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Guess Who and Gary Pucket and Union Gap. In addition and on the same day we
acquired the Recollections Catalogue, which contains 200 New Age (Ambient Moods) music tracks of a contemporary `Chill Style' and
'Anti Stress' collection which have become popular for home use or for professional therapeutic purposes.
Outlook
We continue to be a purely B2B music supplier to over 200 digital music stores throughout the world with iTunes, Amazon and Spotify
being the leading retailers in this sectors. The digital download market for music remains a growth sector despite piracy and other
challenges facing the industry. The Group reiterates its "founder principles" of not having its own digital store in favour of supplying its
copyrights to the many hundreds of established international download stores. Over the last 6 years the Group has licensed, from time
to time, its copyrights to various record labels for the purpose of allowing them to manufacture and sell compact discs. This activity, as
predicted at the time the Group was established, has slowed and the Group now considers itself to be a purely digital content
company. Our staff head count remains small at nine personnel (excluding directors).
The Group noted with interest, on 12th September 2011, the big news sweeping Europe about Music Term Extension. We welcomed
the EU Committee’s recommendation to extend copyright terms from fifty to seventy years. The recommendation, will extend all of
One Media's copyrights by up to 40 per cent, and follows a campaign by record companies and artists to change terms so that they
are ‘on par’ with those in the USA. The change is one that will benefit the Group tremendously, together with the performing artists
who have long strived for an extension to copyright terms. It's a significant milestone in the music industry and an encouraging sign
that a level playing field is being created.
The directors continue to be satisfied with the performance of the Group's business to date. We are confident that as we acquire more
music catalogues there will be continued growth in our downloading business. Our intention is to continue our successful policy of
acquiring further digital rights within the mainstream of easy listening and/or nostalgia music, which has been your Group's main
source of revenue. We continue to be a corporate member of the BPI ("British Phonographic Industry"). We both followed through on
our intentions of last year by introducing an "Employee Share Option Scheme" and announcing our maiden dividend.
I would like to thank the One Media team for all their hard work and that of our professional advisers. And lastly my thanks to my co-
directors for all of their valuable contributions and dedication. We look forward to 2012.

Report of the Directors
For the year ended 31 October 2011
The director's present their annual report together with the audited consolidated statements of the Group for the year ended
31 October 2011.
Principal activities
The principal activities of the Group throughout the year were the acquisition and licensing of audio-visual intellectual copyrights and
publishing for distribution through the new emerging digital downloading medium and through traditional media outlets. The Group is a
B2B content supplier to the major downloading music retailers, a traditional music licensor to the record industry and a supplier of
music to the film and TV industries. The Group continues to believe that the creation of its own dedicated consumer website is not yet
of interest as that is the primary activity of its major customers. The Group outsources the supply of its digital content to the
downloading market through The Orchard, its strategic partner for downloading services.
Business review and future developments
A detailed review of the business in the year and future developments is given in the Executive Chairman's statement on pages 1 to 3.
Whilst the Group focus is primarily on downloading traditional routes to market are not being ignored. Changes in the retail sector are
accelerating and there remains both national and global economic problems. The directors consider there is still substantial potential
whilst recognising that risks exist.
The Group has continued to enter into representative deals with independent record labels and content owners to market their rights in
the digital arena and to invest in copyrights and intellectual property that are considered to attract a suitable and sustainable rate of
return.
The results of the Group are shown within the financial statements. The directors feel it is inappropriate to recommend the payment of
a final dividend.
The key performance indicators the directors use to monitor the performance of the Group is as follows:
Aims and objectives
Cost of catalogue acquisition and number of tracks "ingested".
Management are continually searching to acquire new music catalogues to exploit through the digital downloading medium and other
traditional routes to market. The cost of catalogue acquisition "ingestion" are constantly monitored to ensure that a safe and adequate
return on investment is made.
Rate of commercialisation of licenses and intellectual property
Measured by the growth in value and volume of digital downloads, sales contracts and license deals signed. Progress assessment
includes regular updates on key partners and market segments.
Overhead growth
Management closely monitors the growth in overheads, carefully balancing the need to reward people properly based on both
performance and external market factors. Where a step change in overheads is predicted this must be justified in both financial and
strategic terms.
Share price movements and changes in shareholders are constantly monitored as a major contributor to long term planning.
The board constantly reviews share price movements both for the impact of Regulated News Service announcements and trading in
shares on the PLUS market. This indicator is a major contributor to medium and long term decisions.
Management of capital
The Group has no external financing and is not therefore currently subject to any external constraints on its management of working
capital. Dividend policy is determined by the availability of profit and reserves from which to pay dividends, the Groups policy and cost
of acquiring additional music catalogues and the desire to reward shareholders for their investment in the Group.
Financial reporting
Financial reporting is monitored on a monthly basis against budgets and forecasts by both the main board and the board of the
principal operating subsidiary. Profit and Loss and Cash Flow projections are updated as significant changes to performance and
operating conditions occur.

Report of the Directors
For the year ended 31 October 2011
Business risks
Piracy
The risk of piracy and abuse to copyright are ever present in the music industry. Piracy of music is more prevalent in the pop/chart
sectors but with the Group's music aimed primarily at a different buying market the risks are less.
Valuations of catalogue acquisitions
With significant changes in the market for trading music catalogues valuations have become difficult and increasingly more subjective.
Bad Debts
The traditional risk associated with customer insolvency, and inability or unwillingness to pay debts continues to be a threat which the
Group constantly monitors. This has not however prevented the results for the year being adversely affected by bad debts as reported
elsewhere.
Digital route to market
The digital market place has its own challenges with a reliance on consumers becoming internet literate and all homes achieving a
decent broadband connection. One Media is a Business to Business supplier. We have no downloading site of our own but supply all
of the 450 plus legitimate digital stores worldwide through our key business partner. We are not dependent on any one store’s
marketing strengths as we supply our content to all.
Reliance on one route to market for downloading services
The Group outsources the supply of its digital content to the downloading market through The Orchard its strategic partner for
downloading services.
Protection of licenses and intellectual property
The Group seeks to protect its licenses by a well structured and controlled process of drafting, reviewing and approving. where the
acquisition of a license is considered to be significant independant legal advice and guidance is sought. However, the Group faces the
risk that others may seek to infringe certain aspects of our intellectual property. Defence of claims may prove unsuccessful and
expensive. In addition, the Group might face challenges to the use of intellectual property that others might claim belongs to them. The
consequences of this would be either a complete withdrawal, a "take down", of the offending property and/or serious and costly delays
in proving rights to exploit the disputed intellectual property.
Dependence on a small team of senior employees and staff
As a small technology driven company we are dependent on the skills and loyalty of a small number of highly skilled employees. To
protect this position we constantly monitor the competitive nature of our salary and rewards package, look to share warrant packages
and regularly involve them through management meetings to add "buy in" to our corporate objectives.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group's principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents. The Group has various other financial instruments
such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise from its operations.
The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks which result from its operating activities. The directors are responsible for co-
ordinating the Group's risk management and focus on actively securing the Group's short and medium term cash flows. Long term
financial investments are managed to generate lasting returns.
The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets and has no financial derivatives. The most significant risks to
which the Group is exposed are described below:
Credit risk
The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables and other debtors. The amounts presented in the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position are net of any allowances for doubtful receivables. The Group has a significant concentration of credit
risk associated with its distributor of "digital downloads".
Liquidity risk
The Group seeks to manage risks to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash and assets
safely and profitably. Short term flexibility is achieved by the use of money markets to deposit excess cash which is not required in the
short term. The directors prepare cash flow forecasts on a regular basis to identify at an early stage any short term funding difficulties.
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk in connection with its digital downloading business where the revenue is transacted
largely in USD $ and the settlement of royalty and other liabilities arising from this revenue is largely denominated in USD $.

are available to all employees.

Report of the Directors
For the year ended 31 October 2011
Technology
The Group takes a progressive view on the impact of technological developments. Changes to technology and related systems are
openly embraced with the aim of giving the Group the most up to date platforms to work on and exploit its assets.
Payment to suppliers
The Group's policy is to agree the terms of payment with each supplier when agreeing purchasing terms and to settle each transaction
in accordance with those terms. Group trade payables at the year end represents 53 days purchases of the relevant expenses (2010:
47 days).
Directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law
and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected
to prepare the Group financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use in
the European Union. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group and of the Profit or Loss of the Group for that period. In
preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently ;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent ;
- state whether IFRS as adopted by the European Union and applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed,
subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements ;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company
will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company’s and the
Group’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and the Group and
enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding
the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other
irregularities.
Statement of disclosure to auditor
Each director of the Company has confirmed that, in fulfilling their duties as a director, they have:
- taken all necessary steps in order to make themselves aware of any information relevant to the audit and to establish
that the auditors are aware of that information: and
- so far as they are aware there is no relevant audit information of which the auditors have not been made aware.
Auditors
James Cowper LLP have expressed their willingness to continue in office. A resolution to re-appoint James Cowper LLP in accordance
with section 489 of the Companies Act 2006 will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

Report of the Directors
For the year ended 31 October 2011
Corporate Governance
Directors
The Group supports the concept of an effective board leading and controlling the Group, supported by a Management Team
responsible for the operating subsidiaries. The board is responsible for approving Group policy and strategy. It meets formally, at least
quarterly, with regular face to face weekly contact maintained between most members as well as the dissemination of information
using the most up to date electronic communication methods. All directors have access to independent professional advice at the
Group's expense.
Relation with shareholders
The Group values the views of its shareholders and recognises their interest in the Group's performance and strategy. Regular
updates on performance and significant events are provided through the PLUS market platform using the medium of the Regulated
News Service.
The Annual General Meeting is used to communicate with private investors and they are encouraged to participate. The directors are
available to answer questions. Separate resolutions will be proposed on each issue so that they can be given proper consideration
and there will be a resolution to approve the annual report and accounts.
Internal control
The board is responsible for maintaining a strong system of internal control of safeguarding shareholders' investment and the Group's
assets and for reviewing effectiveness. The system of internal financial control is designed to provide reasonable but not absolute
statement against material misstatement or loss.
In addition to the traditional financial internal controls the Group seeks to protect our licenses by a well structured and controlled
process of drafting, reviewing and approving. This process applies to both the purchase of our music rights and the distribution of our
products to all our customers.
Due to the relatively small size of the Group no independent Audit Committee has been appointed. At least one non-exceutive director
meets with the auditors at both the audit planning stage and for the final audit meeting. This situation is constantly monitored by the
independent directors who will advice when they consider the Group has reached a size when an Audit Committee is necessary.

Principal Accounting Policies
For the year ended 31 October 2011
Basis of preparation
The Company is a limited company incorporated and domiciled in England under the Companies Act 2006. The board has adopted
and complied with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS's) as adopted by the European Union. The Company's shares
are listed on the PLUS market.
There was no restatement of Profit and Loss required following the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards.
On the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS's) the Directors considered the constituent elements of
Goodwill previously shown under Intangible assets. In their view, had the acquisition of the related subsidiaries, been transacted
under IFRS the amount arising would have been attributed to Licenses and other Intangible assets. This change has been reflected
as a reclassification following the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and all its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to the balance sheet
date. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the power to control the financial and operating policies so as to obtain
benefits from their activities. The Group obtains and exercises control through voting rights.
Unrealised gains or losses on transactions between the Group and its subsidiaries are eliminated. Amounts reported in the financial
statements of subsidiaries are adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are dealt with by the purchase method. The purchase method involves the recognition of fair value of all
identifiable assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities of the subsidiary, at the acquisition date, regardless of whether or not
they were recorded in the financial statements of the subsidiary prior to acquisition. On initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of
the subsidiary are included in the consolidated balance sheet at fair values, which are also used as the basis for subsequent
measurement in accordance with the Group accounting policies. Goodwill is stated after separating out identifiable intangible assets.
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets of the acquired
subsidiary at the date of acquisition.
Revenue
The Group follows the principles of IAS18 "Revenue" in determining the appropriate revenue recognition policies. In principle
therefore, revenue is recognised to the extent that the Group has obtained the right to consideration through its performance.
Revenue, excluding VAT, represents the value of digital income, licenses and goods delivered or title passed. In the case of digital
income revenue is recognised when reported to the company and where reasonable estimates can be made of down load stores
income still to be reported at any point of time.
During the year the directors have considered the treatment of commission costs and in line with normal accounting practice have
decided to present revenue gross received and receivable rather than net. The comparative figures have been restated to reflect this.
There is no change to profit before tax or total assets or basic and diluted earnings per share as a result of this change.
Goodwill
Goodwill representing the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets
acquired, is capitalised and reviewed annually for impairment. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Any
excess in the net fair value of an acquiree's identifiable net assets over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately after
acquisition in the income statement.

Principal Accounting Policies
For the year ended 31 October 2011
Taxation
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or
prior reporting period, that are unpaid at the balance sheet date. They are calculated according to the tax rates and tax laws applicable
to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable result for the year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are
recognised as a component of tax expense in the income statement.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method of temporary differences. This involves the comparison of the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities in they consolidated financial statements with their respective tax bases. However deferred tax is not
provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a
business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with shares in subsidiaries
is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Group and it is probable the reversal will not
occurring the foreseeable future. In addition, tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other income tax credits to the Group
are assessed for recognition as deferred tax assets.
Deferred tax liabilities are always provided in full. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be
able to be offset against taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated without discounting at tax rates that are
expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet
date.
Intangible assets
Licenses and other intangible assets
Licenses and other intangible assets, including labour capitalised under IAS38 Intangible Assets, are valued at cost less accumulated
amortisation. Capitalised labour represents costs incurred in "ingesting" product and the compilation of existing content into new and
revised albums. Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost in equal amounts over the life of the licenses and other intangible assets
(between 26 months and 25 years).
Assets acquired as part of a business combination
In accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is deemed to have a cost
to the Group of its fair value at the acquisition date. The fair value of the intangible asset reflects market expectations about the
probability that the future economic benefits embodied in the asset will flow to the Group. The fair value is then amortised over the
economic life of the assets. Where an intangible asset might be separable, but only together with a related tangible or intangible asset,
the Group of assets is recognised as a single asset separable from goodwill where the individual fair values of the assets in the Group
are not reliably measurable. Where the individual fair value of the complimentary assets are reliably measurable, the Group
recognises them as a single asset provided the individual assets have similar useful lives.
Impairment, testing of goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash
flows (cash generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating
level. Goodwill is allocated to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the related business
combination and represent the lowest level within the Group at which management monitors the related cash flows.
Goodwill, other individual assets or cash-generating units that include goodwill, other intangible assets with an identifiable useful life,
and those intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually. All other individual assets or cash-
generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recovered.
An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement for the amount by which the asset's or cash-generating unit's carrying
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to
sell, and value in use based on an internal discounted cash flow evaluation. Impairment losses recognised for cash-generating units,
to which goodwill has been allocated are credited initially to the carrying amount of goodwill. Any remaining impairment loss is charged
pro rata to the other assets in the cash generating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for
indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a
favourable change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount and only to the extent that the asset's carrying
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined net of amortisation, if no impairment had been
recognised.

Principal Accounting Policies
For the year ended 31 October 2011
Financial assets
The Group's financial assets include cash, shares and other receivables.
All financial assets are recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the investment. All financial assets
are initially recognised at fair value, plus transaction costs.
Non-compounding interest and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assets are recognised in the income statement when
received, regardless of how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured.
Available for sale financial assets include non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or do not qualify for
inclusion in other categories of financial assets. Available for sale assets are measured subsequently at fair value with changes in
value recognised in equity through the statement of changes inequity. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably such financial
assets are held at cost. Gain or losses arising from investments classified as available for sale are recognised in the income statement
when they are sold or when the investment is impaired.
Trade and other receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Trade and other receivables are provided against when
objective evidence is received that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of
the receivables. The amount of the write-down is determined as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present
value of estimated cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank deposits, together with short-term highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value with original maturities of
three months or less from the date of acquisition.
Equity
The share capital is determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued.
The share premium account represents premiums received on the initial issuing of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with
the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits.
Retained earnings include all current and prior period results as disclosed in the income statement.
Financial liabilities
The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables. Financial liabilities are obligations to pay cash or other financial
assets and are recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, net of direct issue costs, and are subsequently recorded at amortised cost
using the effective interest method with interest charges recognised as an expense in the income statement.
Dividend distributions to shareholders are included in "other short term financial liabilities" when dividends are approved by the
shareholders' before the year end.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognised when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Group and they
can be estimated reasonably. Timing or the amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence
of a legal or constructive commitment that has resulted from past events. For example, legal disputes or onerous contracts.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence
available at the balance sheet date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Any reimbursement
expected to be received in the course of the settlement of the present obligation is recognised, if virtually certain as a separate asset,
not exceeding the amount of the related provision. Where there a number of similar obligation, the likelihood that an outflow will be
required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. In addition, long term provisions are
discounted to present values, where the time value of money is material. All provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
page 18
One Media Publishing Group PLC
Principal Accounting Policies
For the year ended 31 October 2011
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets - continued
In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of the present obligation is considered improbable or
remote, or the amount to be provided cannot be measured reliably, no liability is recognised in the balance sheet. Probable inflows of
economic benefits to the Group that do not yet meet the recognition criteria are considered contingent assets.
Property, plant and equipment
Measurement basis
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of an asset
comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to the working condition and location for its
intended use. In the case of new internally generated software creation and improvements this includes capitalised labour.
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is added to the carrying amount of the assets only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. All other costs, such as repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the period in which they are
incurred.
When assets are sold any gain or loss resulting from their disposal, being the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the assets, is included in the income statement
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment, less its estimated residual value, which is
revised annually, over its useful economic life as follows :
Furniture and fixtures
33.33% straight line
Office equipment
33.33% straight line
Leased assets
In accordance with IAS17 Leases, the economic ownership of a leased asset is transferred to the lessee if the lessee bears
substantially all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the asset. The related asset is then recognised at the inception of the
lease at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, the present value of the lease payments plus incidental payments, if any. A
corresponding amount is recognised as a finance leasing liability, irrespective of whether some of these lease payments are payable
up-front at the inception of the lease.
Depreciation methods and useful lives for assets held under finance lease agreements correspond to those applied to comparable
assets which are legally owned by the Group. The corresponding finance leasing liability is reduced by lease payments less finance
charges, which are expensed as part of finance costs.
The interest element of leasing payments represents a constant proportion of the capital balance outstanding and is charged to profit
and loss over the period of the lease. All other leases are treated as operating leases. Payments on operating lease agreements are
recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance, are
expensed as incurred.
Investment in subsidiary
Investment in subsidiary undertakings is shown at cost, less any provision for impairment.
Foreign currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in UK Sterling which is also the functional currency of the parent company.
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet
date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the profit and loss account.
Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction (not
retranslated). Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was
determined.

Principal Accounting Policies
For the year ended 31 October 2011
Segmental reporting
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in a particular business (business segment) or
conducting business in a particular geographic area (geographic segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from
other segments.
The Group reporting structure does not distinguish any separate business or geographic business sections. As a consequence no
additional segmental reporting is considered necessary to that shown on the Statement of Comprehensive Income and notes to these
financial statements.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations
of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions about the
future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions
that have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting year are
discussed below.
Business combinations
On initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are included in the consolidated statement of financial position
at their fair values. In measuring fair value management use estimates about future cash flows and discount rates, however, the
results may vary. Any measurement changes upon initial recognition would affect the measurement of goodwill.
Impairment of assets
The Group conducts impairment reviews of assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may
not be recoverable annually, or in accordance with the relevant accounting standards. An impairment loss is recognised when the
carrying amount of an asset is higher than the greater of its net selling price or the value in use. In determining the value in use,
management assesses the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and
from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Estimates and judgements are made in respect of the potential impairment of goodwill,
intellectual property, licenses and other intangible assets.
Internally generated intangible assets and software systems
The Group capitalises labour in respect of intangible assets and internally generated software . Significant judgement is required in
estimating the time and cost involved in these activities and distinguishing the research from the development phase. Development
costs are recognised as an asset whereas research costs are expensed as incurred.
Adoption of new or amended IFRS's
(a) The Company has adopted the following revisions and amendments to IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board, which are relevant to and effective for the Company’s financial statements for the year beginning 1 November 2010.
- IAS 24 – Related Party Disclosures (Amendment)
- Improvements to IFRSs (May 2010)
The directors have assessed that the adoption of these revisions and amendments did not have an impact on the financial position or
performance of the Company.
Adoption of new or amended IFRS's - continued
(b) At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following Standards and Interpretations, which have not been applied
were in issue but not yet effective:-
- IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 1 January 2013
- IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements 1 January 2013
- IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements 1 January 2013
- IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities 1 January 2013
- IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement 1 January 2013
- IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Amendment) 1 January 2013
- IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements 1 January 2013
- IAS 28 Investments in Associate and Joint Ventures 1 January 2013
The directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations in future periods will have no material impact on the
financial statements of the Company.

In the year ended 31 October 2010, upon the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the Directors
considered the constituent elements of Goodwill previously shown under Intangible assets. In their view, had the acquisition of the
related subsidiaries, been transacted under IFRS the amount arising would have been attributed to Licenses and other Intangible
assets. This change has been reflected as a reclassification following the adoption of IFRS.

One Media Publishing Group PLC
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 October 2011
21. Financial instruments - continued
The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets and has no financial derivatives. The most significant risks to
which the Group is exposed are described below :
Credit risk
The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables, other debtors and cash and cash equivalents. The amounts
presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are net of any allowances for doubtful receivables. The Group has a
significant concentration of credit risk associated with its distributor of "digital downloads", The Orchard. The maximum credit to which
the Group is exposed is £713,303 (2010: £1,088,719). Cash at bank is all held with highly rated banks or deposit takers, the suitability
of which is constantly reviewed.
Liquidity risk
The Group seeks to manage risks to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash and assets
safely and profitably. Short term flexibility is achieved by the use of money markets to deposit excess cash which is not required in the
short term. The directors prepare cash flow forecasts on a regular basis to identify at an early stage any short term funding difficulties.
All the financial liabilities noted above are expected to result in cash outflow within six months of the year end. At 31 October 2011,
£281,717 (2010 : £229,375 ) of the financial liabilities were expected to result in cash outflow within six months of the year end.
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk in connection with its digital downloading business where the revenue is largely
transacted largely in USD $ and the settlement of royalty and other liabilities arising from this revenue is largely denominated
in USD $.
22. Related party transactions
There were no related party transactions in the year under review or in the year ended 31 October 2010, other than transactions with
the directors as disclosed in the Directors' Report and note 5 to the financial statements.
