Back to life after six months!

IMO the price does not yet reflect the fact that it isn't a 'bust' stock anymore.

Serious strategy and serious people.

Could grow hugely.

Management have been running this as a shell literally no talent, product or output. John McLaughlin, CEO & largest shareholder has given up the ghost and for 2 years has been developing the talent in his own studio in Glasgay. The Chairman has put up the flag that all that is left is to sell the AIM listing as a quick entry vehicle to LSE - overseas non ent & media groups have been in talks but all failed to do a deal since April 2008. Word amongst city brokers is that Mike Hosie, FD has been under investigation for share price manipulation. Not worth the bother as cheaper & easier to go through normal AIM listing procedures (if you are Mad enough given the state of AIM today)or raise funds in alternative ways. REportedly one ent & media co did look at it but realised that past Diablo history is a diabolical legacy, all previous money raised squandered and nothing to show for it today.

31 March 2007


X-PHONICS PLC ('X-Phonics' or the 'Company')

Preliminary Results for the year ended 30 September 2007


CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT


I am pleased to announce the results of our trading activities for the year
ended 30th September 2007.

In our interim report for the six months period to 31 March 2007 I referred to a
number of bands and artists that were signed to the Group amongst them Attic
Lights, Maeve O'Boyle and The Poems.

These acts have all continued to develop and are now showing significant promise
both artistically and commercially. Of particular note are the Attic Lights who
have been signed to Universal Island and who are now being heavily promoted by
them as one of their acts for 2008.


Financial Report

Turnover for the year was £339,074 (18 months to 30 September 2006: £124,539)
and has increased 172% over the previous 18 month period, primarily as a result
of the contract with Universal Island for the Attic Lights. This is a 5 album
deal worth potentially £1,500,000 in advances over the contract period as well
as an ongoing royalty of up to 24% based upon net receipts from sales into the
worldwide territories that will be exploited by Universal Island. We expect
royalties from the Attics Lights to be earned over a 6 to 8 year period starting
in 2009.

Additional revenues have been earned in this period from other record label
activities as well as from our music publishing activities and our video
production activities.

Cost of sales represents all the costs associated with the signing and
development of the bands and artists and continue to be accounted for as
incurred. Costs are matched with revenues only once the revenues are certain.
Cost of sales in the year were £404,993 (18 month period 30 September 2006:
£453,041) and includes costs derived from the production of the Attic Light's
first album as well as the band's share of the advance from Universal Island.
Other costs incurred include video production costs.

Administrative expenses for the year were £422,778 (18 month period 30 September
2006: £604,127) and continue to reflect the reduction and control over costs
necessary whilst the Group is building the numbers of activities and revenues
during its development phase.


The Group has made a loss on ordinary activities before taxation of £483,584 (18
month period 30 September 2006: £936,165).

At the end of the year the Group held cash balances of £136,719 (2006:
£752,473), had debtors of £139,913 (2006: £36,978) and creditors falling due
within one year of £114,036 (2006: £202,505).



Trading Update

Record Label Activities

The long term value for X-Phonics in the Attic Lights contract with Universal
Island stems from the fact that Island Records have the resources to promote and
the experience and influence to break bands such as the Attic Lights into the
mainstream, as they have done in recent years with Amy Winehouse and The
Frattelis.

Following the same, previously successful strategy, Island Records are building
the momentum for the Attic Lights: initially in Scotland where 'Never Sick of
the Sea' has enjoyed a soft release, encouraging plays on XFM radio and coverage
in national press, to build a strong Scottish following. In addition the band
are touring throughout the UK and are active in the university and college
campuses, building a broader fan base on which to release their next single
scheduled for 28 of April 2008, followed by a bigger release during the summer
of their song 'Bring You Down'. It is expected that following the success of
this promotion work, touring and single releases, Island will release the Attics
Lights album later in the year.

The Poems album was released as a download in February 2008 and is picking up
support and plays most noticeably from BBC Radio One and 6Music. Given this
initial success the main commercial strategy is to seek synchronisation deals
whereby the album tracks are selected for inclusion within television programmes
and films for reasonably significant one off and repeat fees. The band has had
some earlier success in this area with 'syncs' on the Ghost Whisperer and Greys
Anatomy which bodes well for the future. In parallel, revenues should be
generated over the longer term from sales of the album through i-Tunes and other
digital media.

Maeve O'Boyle continues to progress both musically and in terms of commercial
opportunity. The feedback from the industry as she starts to become better known
through her shows, both inside and outside Scotland, is that she is a great
singing and song writing talent. Recent shows have seen some interest from
smaller labels and we expect momentum to keep building with Maeve.

Since the last statement we have started to work with a number of new artists
including Emma Curran who is getting a lot of press and PR from the fact that
she was discovered initially by Gary Lightbody, the lead singer of Snow Patrol
and who is a fan. Emma's album is currently in production and early discussions
with record labels are underway.

Keith Jack came a close second in BBC television's 'Any Dream Will Do', (The
Search for Joseph) and has recorded an album with X-Phonics. As part of his
promotion Keith is to front this years' 'Choices for Life', a major event
promoting drugs awareness for teenagers; this entails a dozen concerts where
Keith will play in front of 60-70,000 school children across Scotland.

During the late summer of 2007, X-Phonics was contracted by the Scottish Sun to
run and manage a competition to find and record new musical talent. Part of the
prize was a recording contract for the winner, a drummer and base player called
'The Fire and I' who are already being supported by the Scottish Sun and XFM. We
will be able to gauge support for the band from the single that we have produced
before determining the opportunity for an album.

Otherwise, in our A&R space, the Group continues to seek and work with a number
of other artists who are believed to have creative and commercial potential.

In addition to the more traditional record label projects, the Group has
undertaken selective other projects where our marketing and promotional
capabilities can generate revenues. The Zimmers, a band that was formed as part
of the BBC television documentary 'Power to the People', that went on to win
Best Documentary at this years Royal Television Society Awards, is one of
X-Phonics successes in 2007.

Consisting of 40 old aged pensioners the Zimmers produced their debut video 'My
Generation' that became a You Tube success almost overnight watched by over 4.4
million people. Off the back of the video, the single was released and remained
in the UK charts for two weeks peaking at number 26.

Since they were launched the band has appeared in numerous television shows
including the Tonight Show with Jay Leno in the United States, the Graham Norton
Show in the UK and many others.

As a result of this initial success the band are in the middle of recording
their debut album with promotion scheduled to commence at the end of March 2008.
Of particular interest is the fact that the album has been funded for X-Phonics'
benefit by the American Association of Retired Persons ('AARP') which boasts a
membership of 59 million. The AARP will assist in the launch in the band's album
later in the year and the Group expects to see revenues generated from UK, US
and other overseas markets with CD sales, sponsorship and merchandising.


Music Publishing

Publishing revenues continue to be developed and are expected to create a
recurring revenue stream in due course. Part of the strategy to ensure this is
to have strong relationships between the Group's bands and its writers so that,
as the bands become successful through promotion and market development, the
revenues from the writers increase.

As an example Robert Hodgens' writing for The Poems will result in the
Group's share of revenues increasing as albums and 'Syncs' are successfully
sold.

Urbnri have had success with their first top 40 hit and are scheduled to release
their second single for the end of April 2008. They are currently touring and
supporting one of the UK's leading rock bands, The Enemy which is broadening
their fan base and should help them gain a good chart position for the new
release. In addition Urbnri's raised profile has led to interest in the
publishing rights currently owned by X-Phonics.

I have previously mentioned Valentina, a talented singer and pianist from
Austin, Texas who is being groomed for success with help from our Managing
Director, John McLaughlin. Having worked with Valentina and her management over
the last six months we are confident that a major record label contract will be
signed from which the Group will benefit by way of a share of revenues from the
future success of the album.

The Group has made significant progress with our artists over the last 6 months
and continues to benefit from the increased profile brought about by its initial
success with the Attic Lights and the Zimmers.

With the revenues building the Directors remain conscious of the need to closely
monitor and control costs which they will continue to do. In addition the Board
are conscious of the opportunities that come as a result of the need for
consolidation in this part of the music industry. Many companies are sub-scale
and below critical mass. The Directors will seek and take advantage of any
opportunities to acquire businesses that represent a good fit with the current
businesses within the Group.

judgment.'



Chairman's Statement



I am pleased to announce the results of our trading activities for the six month
ending 31st March 2007.



This is the first interim period report since the appointment of John McLaughlin
as our Managing Director in August 2006 following the acquisition of White Noise
Music Limited, a business through which John had been developing musical talent.



During the latter part of 2006, a number of bands were signed to the Group,
amongst them, Attic Lights, The Poems and writers and performers including
Robert Hodgens and Maeve O'Boyle.



The bands and writers have continued to be developed and all have made good
progress. We are confident that good choices have been made and are seeing
levels of interest from both the market and the music industry itself confirming
this.



Financial Report



The nature of the projects that have been contracted and that are being
developed will lead to rather uncertain and 'lumpy' revenues for the time being.
For example, although discussions were well progressed with regards to licensing
Attic Lights to a major label at the period end, the Directors were of the
opinion that revenue was not sufficiently certain to be included in these
results. However, since the period end, the Group has agreed terms with
Universal-Island whereby Attic Lights have been licensed to them in a five album
deal worth potentially £1,500,000 in advances over the contract period as well
as an ongoing royalty of up to 24% based upon net receipts from sales in
worldwide territories to be exploited by Universal-Island. The initial advance
and recording revenues received by the Group in respect of this contract total
£240,000 with approximately 34% being passed onto the band.



This is a very important first contract of this type for the Group which
demonstrates that we now have the ability to find and secure acts, that with the
appropriate amount of development and promotion, can be licensed to major record
labels providing the opportunity of an initial cash advance and a share in the
associated longer term revenues. Royalties from Attic Lights should be earned
over the next 6 to 8 years.



Cost of sales represent all costs associated with the signing and development of
the bands and writers and are accounted for as they are incurred. Costs are only
matched to revenues once the revenues are certain. Cost of sales in the period
are lower by 27% at £99,926 (2006: £136,323) and relate to the bands and writers
that are still in development and from which the Group expects to generate
revenues in the future. Comparative costs from the previous year include the
actual costs of work completed and sales invoiced, either in respect of the
original bands that have not subsequently had their contracts extended, or in
respect of video work which was not profitably managed.



Overheads in the period at £217,792 (2006: £363,605) are 40% lower following the
re-organisation described in the previous annual report and account for the 18
months ended 30 September 2006. These costs include some one-off costs
associated with the move of the Group's offices to Chiswick in West London where
it is now sharing facilities with other music related businesses and through
which new business opportunities have been, or are being, developed.



The Group has made a loss on ordinary activities before interest, exceptional
items and taxation of £305,355 (2006: £464,473).



At the end of the period the group held cash balances of £339,642 (2006:
£103,516).



Trading Update



Record Label Activities



Having developed the Attic Lights for a relatively short period, the Group is
delighted to have secured a significant license deal with Universal-Island,
which is currently the largest and most successful record label in the world.
Universal-Island bid against a number of other major record labels and signed
with the approval of Island Records President, the highly respected Nick
Gatfield.



The longer term value in this contract lies in the fact that Island Records have
significant resource and influence through which it is able to break bands such
as Attic Lights into the mainstream. Island has recently had success with The
Fratellis, The Feeling and Amy Winehouse and it is this team that will now be
working on the Attic Lights. This collaboration with Universal-Island has also
paved the way for a continuing relationship and direct access for the Group and
our other artists.



The other significant signing in November 2006 was The Poems who recently
returned from supporting the Magic Numbers to great reviews. Their profile
continues to improve through touring and from additional success with their
music being used on US television programs such as Greys Anatomy and the Ghost
Whisperer. This improved US profile is important in helping to promote the band
in the UK where we are shortly to release a 4 track EP and are organising their
first headline tour of Scotland. With the increased awareness of major record
labels resulting from the Attic Lights contract we have confidence in the longer
term success of the Poems. It is worth noting that the Group owns a large
percentage of The Poems publishing having signed Robert Hodgens, the main writer
for the band, as a writer.



Our youngest artist, Maeve O'Boyle continues to attract critical acclaim as we
work in building her profile. She has just finished a tour of Scotland and
Ireland supporting one of Ireland's biggest folk stars, Eleanor McEvoy, and we
are very pleased with the prospect of a 23 date tour in conjunction with
Beanscene, the new and exciting coffee and music experience, where Maeve will be
selling an acoustic version of her album pre-empting the release of the full
album early next year. We plan to release 2 singles along with this acoustic
record in late summer and mid-winter, which we expect will create a real buzz
around this young and extremely talented artist.



The Group expects to sign a number of young artists working with them to produce
records that can then be sold through a partnership with Beanscene. This is an
interesting area of development for the Group made possible by our ability to
produce records at low cost and then distribute them using a distribution
channel that is fast becoming an alternative to the high street retail chains.



Despite the fact the Liz McClarnon was ultimately unsuccessful in mounting a
Eurovision challenge we continue to work with Liz and once her new album is
recorded we hope to be able to identify a joint venture partner through whom we
would promote the album.



The Group had hoped to compete successfully in bidding for the recording rights
to Echo & The Bunnymen which were ultimately won with a strong bid from Warner
Brother's Records. Despite this our Managing Director John McLaughlin was
appointed Executive Producer to their latest recording and, as a consequence, a
share of the production revenues will be transferred to the Group once the
record is on sale. Not only are there high hopes for the record sales, there is
an amount of kudos that results for X-Phonics association with Echo & The
Bunnymen.



Glasgow continues to be a hot bed of developing musical talent and a number of
projects have been identified which are expected to provide revenue
opportunities for the Group in future years. A good example of this is Urbnri, a
'street' based band whose publishing rights have been secured by the Group and
who are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut album. We expect
some exciting developments in the promotion of this band and are also working
with Chris Van der Kyle, the video gaming developer, with a view to the band's
music and songs being used on a new video game.



There is further evidence of the development in our marketing and promotional
capability with our work for the BBC TV project 'Power to the People'. The band
that was formed as part of the programme 'The Zimmers' was marketed and released
by our record label under the guidance of Neil Reed. The results of this project
have given us a worldwide platform. With some 3.2 million views of the X-Phonics
edited promotion 'My Generation' on 'YouTube' alone and an estimated 100 million
people worldwide seeing or hearing the band.



The single was released in early June and entered the UK Top 40 at number 26. As
a result of this chart success the Zimmers were then asked to appear on the Jay
Leno show in the United States where they appeared before a TV audience of 15
million. With internet releases worldwide and physical releases scheduled in USA
and Benelux to date the future looks bright for The Zimmers. A follow up to the
original documentary is scheduled for Sunday 8th July at 10:00 pm with the world
premier of 'The Zimmers - From Carehomes to Clooney' which will further help
promote the Group.



Music Publishing



In addition to owning the publishing for Roberts Hodgens and our earlier roster
of writers, the Group has worked on a number of projects where the intention is
to secure longer term revenues through the exploitation of music that has mass
appeal.



Our existing catalogue continues to gain modest revenues worldwide. European
Artists such as Katerine (Universal) and Reborn (EMI) have provided X-Phonics
Publishing with some success during 2007 with revenues resulting from record
sales and performances.



This year we have written and produced a new version of 'Swing Low' for the
English Rugby Football Union to be used as part of their 2007 Rugby World Cup
campaign. We have also been commissioned to write an anthem to replace 'Flower
of Scotland' for the Scottish Rugby Football Union, again with the 2007 Rugby
World Cup in mind, although in this case, it is being written with a view to
having much broader and national appeal. Both of these releases are expected to
have an enduring attraction and to be of interest to some of the larger brand
companies who are involved in advertising around national sporting events.



Music Publishing is an important area for the group to develop and we are
constantly looking for opportunities and ways in which we can extract maximum
value from our initiatives. It is often the case that, having agreed a
partnership with a larger record label to exploit some of our music, we are
constrained to working to their timescales. As an example, although recording of
'Sleep Easy Baby' (an album of lullabies) was completed in late 2006 and
licensed in early 2007, this is now expected to be released by EMI for the
Christmas market in late 2007.



Production Activities



We continue to take an interest in Terminal Music Limited, a production facility
in Glasgow in which we have an option to acquire 24.99%.



Currently recording in the studio are a number of well known artists and bands
in addition to some new artists with whom we are working with the intention of
acting for them in some capacity. These include a band called Meladrone, an '
indie' band with fantastic songs and a great look. The songs have been
co-written or produced by John McLaughlin, Simon Perry (Archangel Music), Gordon
Goudie and Ian McCulloch (Echo & The Bunnymen) and therefore come with a great
pedigree. We are also working with Valentina Mitzkat who has been writing with
Maeve O'Boyle and Robert Hodgens and is a very talented 21 year old from Austin,
Texas with an incredible voice as well as being a talented pianist. Together we
are developing a very original crossover sound for her record.



Being involved in the Terminal Music studios provides an early opportunity to
spot and begin working with unknown talent. It is this that is of particular
interest to the major record labels, almost all of whom have had the chance to
visit Glasgow and the studios when considering a bid for Attic Lights.



Our video facility was restructured in mid 2006 in order to better balance the
costs of production with the likely revenue opportunity. The facility is now
housed in Chiswick where it can work much more efficiently and with the
availability of freelance producer and directors, it is now being managed
profitably. Recent projects, whilst modest in budget, represent a significant
improvement in performance.



Projects worked on in the last six months include corporate programmes for the
Multiple Sclerosis Society and for Herstmonceux Castle, a conference facility
for overseas students. We have also been commissioned to produce video
programmes in support of the ITV Rugby World Cup theme, 'World in Union'
incorporating artists such as Katherine Jenkins and Andre Bochelli, and BBC2's '
Power to the People' documentary for the release of the Zimmers version of 'My
Generation'.



The level of activity has been increased significantly with the appointment of
our new Managing Director. We have also benefited from a considerably improved
profile and are now much better connected with people in the music industry with
influence.



When linked to the improved control over costs directly attributed to projects
and the lower level of overhead we are confident of our future success and
continue to seek opportunities through which we can increase shareholder value.

Major Record Deal



Record Label

X-Phonics (AIM: XPH.L), the independent music and media group, is pleased to
announce a ground breaking contract to licence The Attic Lights to
Universal-Island Records Limited.

The Attic Lights were signed to X-Phonics Music Ltd in November 2006 and are a 5
member band based in Glasgow. The Attic Lights sound is a mix of classic 60's
Beach Boys meets Snow Patrol and although the band have been together for less
that two years they have already shown a measurable level of success, regularly
playing on the Scottish festival scene and receiving good support from such
radio stations as XFM and Radio 2.

The Company has licenced the band to Universal-Island Records in a 5 album deal.
Under this arrangement Universal-Island have the exclusive rights to acquire the
recordings produced for and by the band for exploitation on a worldwide basis.
To date the Company has received an advance and fees in relation to the
production of the bands debut album. This has been delivered to
Universal-Island Records having been recorded during the last 3 months in The
Mixing Rooms in Glasgow. In addition the Company will receive royalties based on
future worldwide sales.
