Executive Chairman’s Statement 
For the year ended 31 October 2012 

Financial Overview 

The digital music industry has entered its tenth year since the sale of the first iTunes track. In that time 
globally, digital music has gone from start up to approaching $7bn of sales. The world of the compact disc 
has decreased by over 60% in the same period. For the first time in the UK digital sales of music outsold 
physical sales during 2012. Companies such as Facebook have dominated the social media scene, Twitter 
has emerged as the strongest mobile medium and the Group has acquired under a variety of terms over 
170,000 tracks of music and 5,000 digital video programs. As a small group it is hard competing in a world 
dominated by multi-nationals but we have carved out a profitable space and we are confident that we can 
say that the Group is at its real beginning.  Unlike much of the music industry we are not saddled with the 
legacy they carry from the past. The Group’s focus six years ago was on building the business for the 
future.  And now, that future is the present, and we are reaping the rewards. The revenues are modest but 
our profit ratios are enviable within our industry. 

Our revenue for this period was £2,089,841 up 26% on last years’ revenue of £1,662,516 (2011) and our 
profit before tax is reported at £427,888, up 29% from £330,810 in 2011. We are debt free with cash 
resources and with no gearing. Our dividend policy was underpinned by the payment of £70,974 during the 
financial year ending 2012 (2011: £14,994).  We would always consider a dividend policy at this stage to 
further demonstrate that the Group is not just a growth stock but also a yielding stock.  

Review of Activities (The Highlights) 

Acquisitions 

During the past year the Group acquired a significant number of music, video and spoken word tracks. 
These acquisitions demonstrate the Group's ability to work within the cash resources it has and to monetise 
often-redundant content catalogues. Not all of the acquisitions mentioned below came with revenue, and 
generally, the benefits to the Group will be felt in the year following acquisition, as we exploit the recordings 
within the digital arena. 

On the 16th November 2011, the Group acquired over 8,000 recordings, some 800 hours of classical music 
for a consideration of £104,000. The classical music catalogue comprises masterpieces by some of the 
world’s greatest composers. Works by over 150 composers including; Mozart, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Bach, 
Verdi, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Liszt, Grieg, Elgar, Haydn, Vivaldi, Beethoven and Debussy just to 
name a few. The catalogue includes masterpieces such as; La Traviata, Carmina Burana, Air on a G-string, 
The Nutcracker Suite, Peer Gynt, Romeo & Juliet, and Toccata and Fugue as a small example of the many 
compositions included in this deal.  

On the 24th November 2011, we extended our contract with a principal provider to have greater access on 
more favourable terms for a deal we originally concluded on 5th February 2009. The original deal that was 
announced for a period of five years in February 2009 was extended by a further ten years for an additional 
advance against royalties of £10,000. The music catalogue of over 400 tracks includes performances by The 
Sex Pistols, Lou Reed, Paul Weller,T.REX, Iggy Pop and other 'New Wave' music from the 1970's that have 
performed well for the Group digitally. 

On the 28th November 2011, the Group announced that we had purchased and configured in association 
with the data-centre at Pinewood Studios and SohoNet (our provider of connectivity) a new digital storage 
system to house our growing audio library and newly acquired film and visual music documentary content. 
The investment provides the Group with a substantially increased media storage ability, increased media 
delivery bandwidth, a robust disaster recovery solution and a scalable system to meet future digital storage 
and delivery requirements. The investment is a crucial move for the Group to ensure that it can digitally 
deliver what the Group acquires.

Executive Chairman’s Statement 
For the year ended 31 October 2012 
Review of Activities - continued 

On the 2nd December 2011, the Group concluded five recordings with British actress Anita Harris and 
created the Group’s first five children’s stories as ‘spoken word’ content in the Group’s newly established 
children’s ‘pre-school’ genre. Anita recorded delightful versions of Cinderella, Snow White, Little Red Riding 
Hood, The Emperor's New Clothes and Beepo the Bear.  

On the 8th December 2011, the Group acquired a catalogue that comprises over 6,000 karaoke tracks from 
over the last 50 years of the charts to facilitate consumers to sing along with great tracks like 'Mamma Mia' 
to 'Living Doll' and 'Bad Moon Rising' to Dr. Zhivago's  'Somewhere my love'. In addition there was another 
4,000 tracks of original artist performances of a nostalgia genre including tracks performed by 
The Libertines, Babyshambles, Bad Manners, The Stranglers, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Mike Bennett, Pete 
Doherty, Tom Pepper, Wishbone Ash, as small example of the many artists included in this deal.  

On the 20th February 2012, the Group acquired a catalogue of American TV broadcast video content 
including 420 performances performed by over 150 popular artists. Amongst the performers are ‘indie 
bands’ such as Kasabian, KT Tunstall, Athlete, Elbow, Gym Class Heroes, Imogen Heap, Jonas Brothers, 
Juliette & The Licks, Paramore, Supergrass and The Cribs. The deal was concluded together with the 
acquisition of other audio rights featuring over 350 modern jazz titles featuring works by Lennie Tristano, Art 
Hordes, Robert Lockwood, Stephan Grappelli and Chris Barber. 

On the 23rd February 2012, the Group invested into three diverse catalogues of music. The first catalogue 
originally traded as the 'Dressed to Kill' catalogue of rights and comprises of over 100 albums of popular 
easy listening and off beat punk music tributes and original artists such as Tina Charles and Gloria Gaynor. 
The second catalogue of rights is a `Rap Hop' collection of over 200 recordings with artists such as, 50 Cent, 
Mase, G-Unit, Lil Wayne, Lloyd Banks, Prodigy, Snoopy Blu, Spider Loc, Lil Vic, 40 Glocc, The Team, 
Young Buck, Ras Kass, Seven, Chamillionaire, Lil Scrappy, Mike Jones, Mobb Deep and  Bobby Greek.  
The third catalogue is a collection of over 100 traditional Yiddish Homeland Folk songs, which should prove 
a successful addition to our 'World-Music' collections. Further, a Spoken Word version of 'Peter Pan' was 
acquired to add to the growing audio books collection.  

On the 14th May 2012 the Group invested US$33,000 to partner with a production house to deliver up to 
3,000 music tracks in the 'easy listening', 'instrumental' and 'TV & Film' music genres. Whilst some of the 
music library already existed, we retained the additional right to select new tracks (not yet recorded) over the 
36 months following. This allows the Group to keep its library populated with new tunes as required at a 
fixed price. We use this style of music extensively in both the digital distribution to our consumers via digital 
stores, such as Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, YouTube and E-music, and to the world of film, TV, websites and 
gaming industries for background music known as ‘Synchronisation’.  

On the 15th June 2012, the Group announced that we had acquired under a long term license the label 
OVOW (One Voice One World) that had traded on iTunes for several years previously and has over 100 
pop videos featuring performances by the Moody Blues, Phil Collins, Neil Sedaka, Dusty Springfield, Gene 
Pitney, Iggy Pop, Santana, Eric Clapton and Elton John, to name just a few.    

On the 18th June 2012, the Group acquired under license the management rights to exploit in excess of 
30,000 various artist tracks from over the last 50 years for a consideration of US$400,000. Much of the 
content was already ingested to our principal distributer (The Orchard), which afforded a smooth transition of 
the rights management and the income. 

On the 25th June 2012, the Group announced that it had acquired, under license, over 50 hours of Children's 
audio narrated by Britain's celebrity elite. The collection features kids stories and `early learning' recordings 
performed by stars such as Rik Mayall, Judi Dench, Stephen Fry, Patrick Moore, Tony  Robinson, Phillip 
Schofield, Lenny Henry, David Bellamy and Bill Oddie, reading a selection of stories which includes Aladdin, 
Sleeping Beauty, Learning to Count, Spelling games, Dinosaur stories, Space Travel, Kids Quizzes 
and Learning French.

For the year ended 31 October 2012 
Review of Activities - continued 

On the 28th June 2012, the Group extended the deal with Miki Dallon Productions, who was originally 
contracted in 2007. The Group has been exploiting the rights successfully for the past 5 years. Dallon is an 
English musician, songwriter and producer of music from the 1960s and 70s. Dallon’s first published work 
was a Mickie Most track called "That's Alright" on which Dallon also played piano. Dallon also produced 
the Elias Hulk album `Unchained', the Bearded Lady single `Rockstar', `Country  Lady' and `Apollo 100' for 
Youngblood Records. The catalogue of 900 songs includes tracks also performed by JJ Jackson, ABC, Billy 
Ocean, Johnny Kid & The Pirates and Greyhound to name just a few of the other artists featured.  

On the 8th August 2012, English comedian Bobby Davro added six further ‘One Man Pantos’ to the growing 
children’s catalogue of rights that the Group continues to build. His renditions of the Hare & the Tortoise, 
Rumpelstiltskin, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, Hansel & Gretel, and the Adventures of Alice in 
Wonderland are both comical and appealing to younger ears.  

On the 3rd September 2012, the Group announced that it had acquired the music-video content from 
Tropicana currently being exploited via the 'YouTube' channels featuring all of the Motor City, High Energy & 
Northern Soul videos produced by legendary producer Ian Levine. The 'Levine' YouTube channel has had in 
excess of over 15 million views to date. The Group has now annexed this acquisition to the deal it originally 
completed with him on the 7th April 2010 (Regulated News Service, “RNS”). Featured on the channel are 
550 exclusive videos of Disco, High-Energy, Motorcity and Northern Soul videos, including Evelyn 
Thomas performing 'High Energy' and The Trammps performing 'Hold Back The Night' which together have 
achieved over 2 million views so far. As a YouTube Premier Partner, the Group is able to monetise its 
content viewed on YouTube through advertisements and the forthcoming subscription accounts.  

Relationship with the Orchard 

On the 12th March 2012, the Group announced that it had negotiated and received a cash advance payment 
of US$750,000 from The Orchard, our digital distributor.  

AIM and name change 

On the 15th May 2012, the Group announced, further to the announcement made by Plus SX Markets (14th 
May 2012), that it [Plus SX] was issuing a six-month notice to potentially quit trading and close the Plus SX 
trading platform. We were quick to comment (RNS 15th May 2012) on this to reassure our shareholders that 
we would be seeking an alternative trading platform in this event and started the process of examination of 
alternative markets. The Group has subsequently announced (RNS 2nd January 2013) its intention to list on 
the AIM Market (the London Stock Exchange’s international market for smaller growing companies).  

On the 18th October 2012, the Group changed its name and dropped the word ‘Publishing’. I said at the time 
that this change in name reflects the Group’s expansion from being a purely audio content exploitation 
business to further reflect the monetisation of music, Film, TV programs and the associated brand licensing 
rights that the Group will develop further over the coming years. The Group intends to be a far more 
encompassing copyrights organisation with a focus on significantly expanding its digital asset base and 
intellectual property ownership in varying entertainment sectors.

Review of Activities – continued 

Outlook 

The Group is embracing and driving the shift in the marketplace with the intention of not only continuing to 
acquire music catalogues but to focus on the digital video side of our business as well. The Group is not only 
a B2B business but now delivers content direct to the video platforms such as YouTube making it a direct to 
consumer (B2C) ‘Netlabel’ as well. Digital video content will be the next ‘big boom’ in our evolution from the 
physical world of CD and DVD to the MP3 and MP4. The Group continues a policy of not manufacturing 
physical products and remains faithful to the business model of expanding digital rights library in all arenas.  

As more consumers turn to mobile devices to access their social media sites such as Facebook and with the 
advent of Smart Televisions, more consumers will view and browse the Internet on their TVs. Google state 
that currently 30m consumers watch YouTube channels on Smart TVs, and they predict this to rise to 1bn by 
2018. The Group’s focus as a content provider therefore is to continue to acquire nostalgic content to meet 
these growing audiences. Google’s ‘Advert Funded’ and forthcoming subscription model partnership deals, 
offer a great medium for visual nostalgia and monetisation for content owners.   

Post period end, we announced on 12th December 2012 our acquisition of the Men & Motors catalogue of 
rights to over 3,000 episodes and the of ownership to the brand itself, which is already opening new doors to 
revenues for the Group compared to previous years where it was not technically possible.  

Our staff head count remains small at nine personnel (excluding directors). The Group is intending to grow 
to nearer 12 or 13 over the next financial year. To cater for this the Group moved within the Pinewood 
complex to a larger suite of offices in July 2012. This affords the headroom for further growth. In addition we 
have taken secure storage here at Pinewood to house the growing video and music master asset, as we 
make more acquisitions in this area. We continue to enjoy the facilities here at Pinewood and now fully 
utilise the Postproduction services as well as the Data Centre services to repurpose and store our digital 
content.   

I would like to thank the team for all their continued hard work and that of our professional advisers. 

And, as always, my special thanks to all of my co-directors for all of their valuable contributions and 
dedication.

Report of the Directors 
For the year ended 31 October 2012 

The Directors present their annual report together with the audited consolidated statements of the Group for 
the year ended 31 October 2012. 

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 digital medium and to a lesser extent 
through traditional media outlets. The Group is a B2B and B2C content supplier to the major digital 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 this market primarily through The Orchard, its strategic partner for digital music and spoken-word 
services. 

Business review and future developments 

A detailed review of the business in the year and future developments is given in the Chairman's statement 
on pages 1 to 4. 

Whilst the Group focus is primarily on the digital market place, traditional routes to market are not being 
ignored. Changes in the retail sector are accelerating and there continues to be 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. 

A dividend of £70,974 (2011: £14,994) was paid in the year. 

The key financial and non-financial performance indicators the Directors use to monitor the performance of 
the Group are as follows: 

Financial and non-financial performance indicators 

Cost of catalogue acquisition and number of tracks "ingested" 
Management are continually searching to acquire new music catalogues to exploit through the digital 
medium and other traditional routes to market. The costs of catalogue acquisition “ingestion” are constantly 
monitored to ensure that a safe and adequate return on investment is made. During the year £643,431 
(2011: £185,837) was spent on catalogue and intangible asset additions. 

Rate of commercialisation of licences and intellectual property 
Measured by the growth in value and volume of digital downloads, licence deals and sales contracts signed.  
During the year revenue increased to £2,089,841 (2011: £1,662,516) a 26% year on year increase. 
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. During the year overheads increased to 
£678,793 (2011: £583,809) a 16.3% increase.

Report of the Directors 
For the year ended 31 October 2012 - continued 

Share price movements and changes in shareholders are constantly monitored as a major 
contributor to long term planning 
The Board constantly review share price movements both for the impact of Regulated News Service 
announcements and trading in shares on the ICAP-ISDX Market (formerly 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 Group’s 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 monthly 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. 

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. 

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.  

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. OMiP is a B2B and B2C supplier. We have no digital 
site of our own but supply over 200 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 digital services 
The Group currently supplies the majority of its digital content to the digital market through The Orchard its 
strategic partner for digital services. 

Protection of licences and intellectual property 
The Group seeks to protect its licences by a well structured and controlled process of drafting, reviewing, 
approving and subsequently monitoring contracts. Where the acquisition of a licence is considered to be 
significant, independent 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 can be either a complete withdrawal, a “take down” 
whilst rights are proved, or to continue to exploit the disputed intellectual property. 

Dependence on a small team of senior employees and staff 
As a small technology driven group 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 option and 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: 

Currency risk 
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk in connection with its digital business where the revenue is 
transacted largely in US$ and the settlement of royalty and other liabilities arising from this revenue is partly 
denominated in US$. 

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 
income. 

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.

Significant shareholding 
Apart from the Directors’ shareholdings above the Company was notified on 17 December 2012 that an 
individual investor had acquired a holding of 7.5% of the issued share capital of the Company 
(4,100,000 ordinary shares of 0.5p each). 

Employee involvement 
The Group has continued its practice of keeping employees informed of matters affecting them as 
employees and the financial and economic factors affecting the performance of the Group. This is achieved 
through regular formal and informal updates and open access between all employees of the Group. 

Disabled employees 
Applications for employment by disabled persons are given full and fair consideration for all vacancies in 
accordance with their aptitudes and abilities. In the event of an employee becoming disabled, every effort 
will be made to retain them in order that their employment within the Group may continue. It is the policy of 
the Group that training, career development and promotion opportunities are available to all employees. 

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. 

Research and development 
The Group, in developing its internal technology based systems, undertakes Research and Development 
work the outcome of which may be uncertain. Work proven to have an on-going value is capitalised all other 
costs are expensed to the Profit and Loss account. 

Payment to suppliers 
The Group's policy is to agree the terms of payment with each supplier, when agreeing contracts and 
purchasing terms, and to settle each transaction in accordance with those terms. Group trade payables at 
the year end were £63,081 (2011: £21,634). The Directors do not consider, because of the nature of 
Group’s business, that the traditional calculation of day’s purchases outstanding is relevant. Therefore no 
calculation of days purchases outstanding is provided.

Report of the Directors 
For the year ended 31 October 2012 - continued 

Statement of 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 of the persons who are Directors of the Group at the time when the Report of the Directors  
is approved has confirmed that 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.

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 Group 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 ICAP-ISDX 
Market platform using the medium of the RNS. 

The Annual General Meeting is used to communicate with private investors who 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 licences by a well 
structured and controlled process of drafting, reviewing, approving and then subsequently monitoring. This 
process applies to both the purchase of our music rights and the distribution of our products to all our 
customers. 

During the year, due to the relatively small size of the Group, no independent Audit Committee was 
appointed. At least one Non-Executive 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 or, for other reasons when an Audit Committee is 
necessary.

Report on Remuneration 

Directors' remuneration 

The Board recognises that Directors' remuneration is of legitimate concern to shareholders. The Group 
operates within a competitive environment where performance depends on the individual contributions of the 
Directors and employees and the Group believes in rewarding vision and innovation. 

Policy on Executive Directors' remuneration 

A separate Remuneration Committee has been established comprising the Finance Director, N Smethers, 
and the Non-Executive Directors S Cohen and R Poplawski. There are no specific performance conditions 
with any bonus or additional payments made at the discretion of the board following the recommendation of 
the remuneration committee.

engagements is that at all times they will seek to enhance shareholder value. Apart from warrants and share 
options granted there are no other specific long term incentive plans for any of the Directors. The Company

During the year the four Directors exercised a total of 10,500,000 warrants. No warrants were exercised in 
2011. The aggregate amount of taxable gain by exercise of warrants during the year was £40,000

Infante and three months on either side for all the other Directors.

Principal Accounting Policies 
For the year ended 31 October 2012 

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 (IFRSs) as adopted 
by the European Union. The Company's shares are listed on the ICAP-ISDX (formerly PLUS) market. 

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 equity method. The equity method involves the recognition 
of the 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 the 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, licences and goods delivered or title 
passed. In the case of digital income revenue is recognised when reported to the Group and where 
reasonable estimates can be made of digital stores income still to be reported at any point of time. 

In line with normal accounting practice revenue is reported gross received and receivable. 

Commercial advances 

To the extent that commercial advances are un-recouped at the year end any outstanding amount are 
included in Other payables. The outstanding balances are calculated in line with underlying contractual 
obligations.

Principal Accounting Policies 
For the year ended 31 October 2012 

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 occur in 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. 

Intangible assets 

Licences and other intangible assets 
Licences 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" products 
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 licences and other intangible assets (between 26 months and 
25 years). Licences and intangible assets are subject to annual impairment reviews. 

Assets acquired as part of a business combination 
In accordance with IFRS 3 revised  "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 not reliably measurable, the Group recognises them as a single asset provided 
the individual assets have similar useful lives.  

Impairment 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 unit level. 

Individual assets or cash-generating units, other than 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.

Principal Accounting Policies 
For the year ended 31 October 2012 

Impairment of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment – continued 

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 are charged to the assets in 
the cash generating unit. 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. 

Financial assets 

The Group's financial assets include cash 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 in 
equity. 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.

Principal Accounting Policies 
For the year ended 31 October 2012 

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 are a number of similar obligations, 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. 

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.

Principal Accounting Policies 
For the year ended 31 October 2012 

Property, plant and equipment - continued 

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 

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 Income Statement.  

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. 

Operating segments 

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 operates in one significant business segment which is the digital “net-label” market,  the results 
of which are seen in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

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.

Principal Accounting Policies 
For the year ended 31 October 2012 

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, licences 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. 

Share option and warrant policy 

The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-Based Payment.  

The Group operates both approved and unapproved share option and warrant schemes for the Directors, 
senior management and certain employees. 

Where share options and warrants are awarded, the fair value of the instruments at the date of grant is 
charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions 
are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date 
so that ultimately the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of 
options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted, 
as long as other vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to 
achieve a market vesting condition. 

Where the terms and conditions of the instruments are modified before they vest, any increase in fair value 
of these instruments, measured immediately before and after the modification is also charged to the 
Statement of Comprehensive Income over the remaining vesting period. 

Fair value is measured using the Black-Scholes model. The expected life used in the model has been 
adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions 
and behavioral conditions. 

Adoption of new or amended IFRS's 

a) The Group has adopted the following revisions and amendments to IFRS issued by the International 
Accounting Standards Board, which are relevant to and effective for the Group’s financial statements for the

4.   Taxation - continued 

The Group has estimated trading losses of £374 (2011: £16,317) available for carry forward against future 
trading profits. 

No deferred taxation asset has been recognised as it is not material. If deferred taxation on losses was 
recognised the amount would be £90 (2011: £4,242).

6.  Parent Company Profit and Loss Account 

The profit for the year to 31 October 2012 dealt within in the financial statements of the parent Company 
was £308,320 (2011: £261,376). As permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, no separate profit 
and loss account is prepared for the parent Company. 

7.  Earnings per share 

The calculation of earnings per share is based on the profit for the financial period of £339,220 
 (2011: £250,815) divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue 46,769,794 
 (2011: 51,474,705). The diluted earnings per share, after the exercise of warrants and share options, is 
calculated on a weighted average number of shares of 54,639,657 (2011: 72,208,038). The 2011 basic and 
diluted average number of shares is distorted because for the period 1 November 2010 to 17 December 
2010, the date of the share buy back, see note 14, the Group had 91,371,339 ordinary shares in issue.

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks which result from its operating activities. The Board is 
responsible for co-ordinating the Group's risk management and focuses on actively securing the Group's 
short to medium term cash flows. Long term 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, 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 content, The Orchard. The maximum credit to which the Group is exposed is 
£774,417 (2011: £713,303). 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, with the exception of the liability to corporation tax of £87,604 
 (2011: £81,942) are expected to result in cash outflow within six months of the year end. At 31 October 
2012, £384,816 (2011: £281,717) of the financial liabilities were expected to result in cash outflow within six 
months of the year end.

other than transactions with the directors as disclosed in the Directors' Report and note 5 to the financial 
statements.

subsidiaries. During the year the Company made a management charge of £208,122 (2011: £200,465) 
against One Media iP Limited and received a dividend of £300,000 (2011: £250,000).
