Michael Infante, CEO of One Media iP, commented: 
 
"As the world adjusts to life under COVID-19, we continue to observe changing

dramatic changes to people's daily routines. Coinciding with this, we have also 
seen an uplift in streaming of children's, classical and ambient music, all of 
which favour One Media's diverse catalogue. 
 
"I am very pleased with our staff's fortitude in decamping from our offices at 
Pinewood Studios and working efficiently on a remote basis, which is a tribute 
to both  technology and team effort. This 'new normal' lends itself to our 
continuing operations and we have successfully proven our robust business model 
in the first six months of 2020."

Chairman's Statement 
 
Business and Performance Review 
 
The Group made significant progress in H1 2020 by continuing to enhance the 
value of its existing catalogue and leveraging its in-house capabilities to 
grow and protect shareholder value.  As outlined in the recent AGM Statement of 
22 May 2020, substantial advancements have been made during the period in each 
of the Company's key operational divisions, including the core business of 
purchasing and monetising digital music rights, as well as its service 
offerings, the Technical Copyright Analysis Tool ("TCAT") and Harmony IP. 
 
Responding to interest from major players across the music industry, One Media 
continues to examine possibilities to scale its proprietary anti-piracy 
technology, TCAT, by sourcing third party interest and possible partner 
initiatives for wider implementation across the sector. 
 
Encouraging progress has also been made towards launching the Group's unique 
intellectual property (IP) equity release programme, Harmony IP.  The platform, 
which looks to grant music rights holders with advanced access to the future 
earnings of their IP by purchasing a portion of their rights upfront, has 
received good levels of early interest from artists and the Group is working to 
take these discussions forward. Harmony IP will enable One Media to diversify 
its portfolio and acquire music rights with recurring income streams at 
favourable multiples. 
 
Finally, the Group remains focused on enhancing the value of its existing 
catalogue and is committed to ensuring its content is fully optimised to 
maximise discoverability across global markets. Synchronisation deals offer One 
Media an additional avenue through which to generate income, and during the 
period a number of the Group's owned tracks were used in TV series, such as 
American drama series, 'Dare Me', and films, such as Netflix's original film, 
'Coffee & Kareem'. 
 
COVID-19 
 
Notwithstanding the challenging macro-economic environment presented by 
COVID-19, One Media retains a healthy cash position and continues to trade in 
line with expectations. The safety and well-being of employees is paramount and 
the Group adheres to government and Public Health England guidance at all 
times. The Group's staff remain fully employed in its businesses and continue 
to work efficiently on a remote basis, effectively liaising with customers and 
suppliers to ensure business continuity. 
 
Financial Overview 
 
The Group has continued to manage its financial position over the six-month 
period to 30 April 2020 with profitable operations. Group consolidated revenue 
was GBP2,032,598 for the six-months ended 30 April 2020 (30 April 2019: GBP 
1,585,687). 
 
Profit before tax amounted to GBP399,236 (30 April 2019: GBP143,738) and EBITDA 
increased 93% to GBP757,678 (2019: GBP392,192). 
 
During the period, the Company has not issued new shares as consideration for 
acquisitions and has used existing cash resources as consideration. Cash 
balances at 30 April 2020 were GBP1,076,134 (30 April 2019: GBP5,184,301). 
 
Dividend 
 
On 6 May 2020 One Media was delighted to inform the market of a return to its 
dividend policy. The Group declared an interim dividend of 0.055p per ordinary 
share, which was paid earlier this month. The Board had considered its policy 
regarding dividends and has established that the objective of its Dividend 
Distribution Policy is to maintain an equilibrium between retention of profit 
to finance long-term growth plans whilst rewarding shareholders for their 
support. 
 
Industry 
 
Despite significant uncertainty caused by COVID-19, the global recorded music 
market has demonstrated resilience, with music-streaming platforms such as 
Spotify recording an increase in paid subscribers. Global online music 
streaming subscriptions grew 32% year-on-year (YoY) reaching 358 million 
subscriptions in CY 2019, according to the latest findings from 'Counterpoint 
Research'. This is driven by the availability of content like podcasts, that 
attracted people towards the platform and eventually turned them as 
subscribers. Additionally, promotional activities such as price cuts in 
subscriptions in emerging markets and bundled offers from telcos added to the 
growth. It is expected that online music streaming subscriptions will grow more 
than 25% YoY to exceed 450 million subscriptions by the end of 2020. The latest 
figures published by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry 
(IFPI) for 2019 show that streaming now accounts for over half of global 
revenues, and this number is expected to grow as streaming devices become 
increasingly accessible and global audiences continue to expand. 
 
Outlook 
 
With its highly scalable business model, One Media enters H2 2020 in a strong 
position to expand its geographical footprint, exploit its new product 
offerings and capitalise on the growth of streaming globally. Its track record 
of acquiring low-risk content with proven, recurring income streams further 
supports the Group's position as it looks for opportunities to enhance 
shareholder value within this growth market. 
 
The Board looks forward to updating shareholders on progress in due course.

period ended 30 April 2020 and the audited twelve months figures for the year 
ended 31 October 2019.
