Michael Infante, Chairman and CEO, commented: "I am pleased to report a 
steadying of the ship and early indications that we are beginning to see our 
repositioned business model starting to benefit from the effect of 'digital 
audio streaming' gaining traction over 'digital audio downloads'. I have 
previously explained the seismic shift in our audio monetisation model and its 
consequential degradation on our revenues over the last two years. The Group 
has been very vocal and transparent on this and I have gone to lengths to 
explain this in my previous Chairman's statements. The indication is that we 
are at an inflection point and that growth is back on the horizon. Combine this 
with our new initiatives in TCAT and Men & Motors, together with our core 
business and we are beginning to demonstrate early momentum for our growth 
strategy. We predicted that Q1 2017 would be the beginning of the 'streaming 
monetisation' insurgency against 'downloads' and that we would begin to feel 
the benefit of those effects moving forward. I continue to have confidence in 
our market approach and our new music, video and technical related initiatives 
are well positioned to retain our mission of 'IP' exploitation, growth and 
continued profit."

CHAIRMAN & CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT 
 
The global political upheavals serve as a reminder that change occurs faster 
than markets can sometimes anticipate. With keen direction and attention to 
detail the Group has taken the challenge of meeting its market expectation. The 
team has focussed on embracing the audio shift and have used our expertise to 
accelerate the changeover. We can't direct consumers to work within the 
timescale we set for the balance to shift in monetisation of our audio 
consumption, but what we can do is ensure that all our content, where possible, 
is being offered on every new and existing streaming store (such as Apple 
Music, Spotify, Amazon, Deezer and Google Play) as they come to market with 
their expanded streaming services. 
 
Industry revenues in the UK grew by 1.5% to GBP926m (source BPI Official Charts 
Company) to December 2016. Trade revenues for recorded music are anticipated to 
reach a growth rate of 5.1% and our own figures would appear to support this 
swing back to growth. The increase in streaming has attracted many negative 
headlines over the last few years. We have always been a supporter of the 
streaming model, despite its initial adverse effect on our revenues and believe 
it must be embraced not resisted (in the words of the Borg "Resistance is 
Futile") One Media however deals in the world-wide market and according to the 
BPI revenues have grown by 5.9% globally. Global revenues revealed by the IFPI 
reports that by December 2016 there were 112m users of paid music streaming 
subscriptions. The UK remained at third place in global table behind the USA 
and Japan.  The USA (One Media's strongest market) has grown by 7.6%. The total 
world market in music is now valued at $15.6bn (US Dollars) up 5.9% from the 
previous year. Global revenue data, as of December 2016, confirmed digital 
sales (including downloading and streaming) were 50% of the total market at 
USD$7.835 bn. Physical Sales (CDs & Vinyl formats included) 34% at $5.3278bn. 
Synchronisation sales (music for advertising film & TV 2% at $0.3134bn, 
Performance Rights (Concerts, Radio & TV play ) 14% at GBP$2.1938  (source BPI/ 
IFPI). 
 
We have taken a consolidative view of the market whilst the buying trends 
shift. We are preserving our resources regarding content acquisition until the 
merry-go-round settles. I believe there will be some bargains on the horizon. 
We are underpinning existing contracts by extending existing rights and 
ensuring that our library of rights remains robust. 
 
On 25 January 2017 we announced that we had renewed the exclusive rights to the 
MD Production music catalogue for a recoupable advance of $18,000 (eighteen 
thousand US Dollars). The MD catalogue comprises over 1,000 original recordings 
from the 1960s to the 1980s. With performances from artists such as Don Fardon, 
The Cockerel Chorus, Dando Shaft, Gill Scott-Heron, Greyhound, Roy Harper, 
Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, Kenny and Python Lee Jackson to name just a few. The 
tracks have been marketed exclusively by One Media since 2007 on a 
royalty-sharing basis. MD Productions has been a long-term music provider and 
has received three advances and on-going royalties from One Media throughout 
the term.  One Media is pleased to report that it has always fully recouped its 
advances throughout the relationship. 
 
On 30 January 2017 we started work on reorganising the Group's websites. Five 
new websites were created demonstrating the Group's expanded activities. 
Firstly we have the new site; One Media iP Group Plc (http://www.omip.co.uk/). 
Here you will find all the investor relation information and dedicated 
summaries of the Group's subsidiaries. The day-to-day activities, artist 
information and social media activities of our audio and video businesses is 
now housed under http://www.onemediaip.com/. Our Technical Copyright Analysis 
Tool (TCAT) is at (http://www.tcat.media/). Here you will find our 
informational video on the 'Software as a Service' (SaaS) technology. Men & 
Motors can be found on (www.menandmotors.com) a new and exciting style for this 
site showing the links to the archive of over 3400 shows and information on our 
initiative for a new format of TV show still being presented to various 
broadcasters.  Point Classics, our classical collection of over 3000 recordings 
(http://www.pointclassics.com/) is now the new home for this collection. Music 
supervisors use this site to sort, search and compile classical recordings for 
film and TV. We are pleased to report that all of the work in creating the new 
sites was completed on time and within budget. 
 
It is the Group's intention to expand the exploitation for the corporate brands 
that it now owns and to more clearly define their individuality trade-wise in 
the coming year. Men & Motors by way of example has already been registered 
(albeit dormant), as a stand-alone subsidiary company in preparation for 
broadcast and trading demand. The same applies for TCAT and the Group has 
registered TCAT Ltd should this be required in the future. 
 
On 1 February 2017 we announced that we had moved our banking services to 
Coutts & Co ("Coutts") of 440 Strand, London. We commenced the orderly handover 
from Barclays to Coutts during February 2017. The Group confirmed at the time 
that it has no debt and is cash resourced. Coutts experience within media and 
content with many focussed services and seminars should prove invaluable to the 
Group with its expansion programme into varying media and technology 
activities. 
 
In two statements on 20 February 2017 and on 12 April 2017, the Group announced 
that it had concluded its copyright complaint and litigation in the Middle 
District of Tennessee with HHO Licensing Ltd, Henry Hadaway Organisation Ltd 
and Henry Hadaway personally by way of an amicable resolution. 
 
Post the half year end on 30 April 2017 the Group announced that One Media 
signed an exclusive exploitation deal with Getty Images for 'clips' from the 
Group's moving image library rights. The deal will involve One Media supplying 
'clips' from its growing video content library to Getty Images for 
representation and exploitation to Getty's worldwide client base for multiple 
use in documentaries, advertising and all moving image usages. Getty Images is 
one of the most esteemed sources of visual content throughout the world, with 
over 200 million assets available through its industry-leading sites 
www.gettyimages.com and www.istock.com. The distribution deal will see the 
Group create thousands of clips from its archive to be made available to Getty 
Image's clients on their web based platforms. The Group's video archive has 
grown by acquisition over that last few years and we are now able to further 
exploit the content via a 'clipping' service and to supply the world leader in 
image hire. The Group's Creative Technicians are already trained and equipped 
to perform this function in-house and have been successful in building billions 
of views with the Company's content for sites like You Tube. Content from Men & 
Motors, Alien Autopsy and the HiBrow film catalogue together with our cleared 
music video content will spearhead the service. 
 
On 25 May 2017 we announced that we had signed our first major music 
distributor to utilise the services of the Group's Technical Copyright Analysis 
Tool ("TCAT"). The global music distributor will be using the TCAT services 
from June 2017 to monitor its weekly release schedules, monitor music conflicts 
and potential copyright infringements. Following two years of development the 
deal will see the commercialisation of TCAT on an annual contract basis. 
Confidentiality clauses in the agreement prevents us from disclosing the 
identity of our client at this time and any of the commercial terms but the 
Group is very excited by having TCAT deployed as a technical resource to a 
major record distributor.  Whilst the revenues generated from this initial 
contract will be modest, it is a significant development for the Group as it 
validates and proves the technology and demonstrates its need in the market 
place. 
 
Results 
 
The Group has continued to manage its financial position over the 6 month 
period to 30 April 2017 with profitable operations and no debt. 
 
Group consolidated turnover was GBP1,147,131 for the 6 months ended 30 April 2017 
(2016: GBP1,055,693). 
 
Profit before tax of GBP148,781 (2016: GBP118,721). 
 
Cash balances at 30 April 2017 of GBP228,628 (2016: GBP335,664). 
 
During the period, the Company has not issued new shares as consideration for 
acquisitions and has used existing cash resources as consideration. 
 
Litigation 
 
The company has been informed of a pending action in the Southern District of 
Florida Court USA for a claim by Kemar McGreor (KM) against Phoenix Music 
International Ltd (PMI), Orchard Enterprises Ltd (OE) and One Media Ip Group 
PLC (OMIP), for an alleged infringement of copyrights supplied by PMI to 
both OE and OMIP. Phoenix Music International (a British company) entered into 
a license agreement with Kemar McGreor for the licensing of certain music 
rights on or about the 9th May 2011. PMI then entered into a deal with OE and 
OMIP to act as distributors for the licensed content. The case is centered on 
whether PMI had the rights to allow OE and OMIP to distribute the licensed 
content. PMI have informed both OE and OMIP that they will robustly defend this 
action. OMIP has a full indemnity from PMI on its distribution agreement with 
PMI. PMI are meeting all the costs of the defence for OMIP and any costs or 
settlements in the final outcome. 
 
A representative from the Group will attend a mediation meeting on the 9th 
October 2017 in Florida and will report the outcome of said mediation. A trial 
date has been set for December 9 2017 failing mediation and/or settlement 
between the parties. 
 
Dividend 
 
The Group continues to review the dividend policy in line with its cash 
resources and requirements. No dividend is announced at this time. 
 
News, Content Exploitation and Acquisitions 
 
Understanding and underpinning where our revenues are generated and our 
resources are best spent has been a priority. Maintaining cost controls, 
motivating new and existing initiatives and resourcing the TCAT development for 
exploitation is a continued project. We are recruiting more technical staff in 
the second half and will build our ability not only to expect more from TCAT 
but also review our internal operation in line with the skill set required. We 
remain vigilant on content acquisition and as always will invest where the 
Group can identify good opportunities. 
 
Outlook 
 
I have been transparent throughout the last two years regarding the challenging 
times that the Group has faced. We still have concepts to prove. We still have 
internal changes to make to meet the new demands as we advance into becoming a 
more fully rounded digital group. It is an exciting time and I know that we can 
meet those demands. We are here for the long run and continue to invest our 
time, effort and ingenuity to make One Media a company of substance. 
 
I would like to thank our team both in-house, contracted and my co-directors. I 
would especially like to express my thanks to our newly appointed Company 
Secretary and Head of Finance, Steven Gunning for so ably embracing the Group's 
financial obligations and day to day running of our accounts systems.
