Notice of Preliminary Results
One Media iP Group Plc (AIM: OMIP) the digital media content provider which

and video, is pleased to announce that it has acquired the revenues and profits
generated by the Lumi Entertainment Ltd ("Lumi") catalogue of rights ("The
Catalogue") for a consideration of USD$75,000 (seventy five thousand US
dollars).
The Catalogue contains thousands of recordings performed by various artists and
a variety of instrumental light music and classical content from over the last
50 years. The Catalogue is currently generating a modest level of income via
its distributor, which the Group will further recompile with its own catalogue
of 170,000 music tracks to gain further traction within the digital audio
market.
The Group would also like to take this opportunity to announce that it will be
releasing its preliminary results for the year ended 31st October 2013 on the
19th February 2014.
Michael Infante, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of One Media, commented:
"As part of our policy of consolidation within our market, this acquisition of
Lumi's revenue stream is a perfect fit. The Catalogue is well known to us and
has been exploited digitally since 2011 by Lumi. It has already achieved
digital income revenues over the last few years, which allowed us better to
assess its potential within the One Media model. We are constantly looking for
income yielding content within our digital arena to enhance our own catalogue
of rights income and increase shareholder value."
