Preliminary results announcement
for the year ended 31 December 2004
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
The accounts for the year ended 31st December 2004 reflect the company's
position post the Creditors Voluntary Arrangement and prior to the
acquisition of Timestrip Limited which was approved by shareholders in
February 2005. Therefore these figures are of historic interest and reflect
the position of the then Internet Music and Media Plc in its 'shell' form.
Timestrip Plc in its new form will publish interim accounts to 30 June 2005
within the next 3 months and shareholders will be updated on current trading
at that time.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2004
1 Accounting policies
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost
convention.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis,
as subsequent to the year end, the company acquired Timestrip Limited
and raised sufficient funds by way of a placing to allow the Group to
continue to operate for the foreseeable future.
1.2 Investments
Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution
in value. Funding supplied by the parent company to its subsidiaries was
capitalised as a part of the parent company's investment as a capital
contribution and reviewed annually for impairment. The fixed asset
investments have been written off during the year.
1.3 Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is provided in full in respect of taxation deferred by
timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation
and accounting purposes.
1.4 Consolidation
The accounts do not consolidate the financial statements of its
subsidiary undertakings as their accounting records were transferred to
and are held by the Administrative Receivers. Subsequent to the year end
the subsidiary undertakings were sold to a third party. For these
reasons the directors have not consolidated the subsidiary undertakings
as they believe severe long-term restrictions substantially hinder the
exercise of rights of the company over the assets and management of
those undertakings.

â•â•â•â•â•â•â• â•â•â•â•â•â•â•
The view has been taken during the year that since Groovetech LLC has ceased
trading, the directors are of the opinion that the additional 1,556,190
Ordinary shares which has been deemed to be issued in respect of 28% of the
Groovetech LLC investment not owned but subject to an unconditional put and
call option will not be issued. The share capital in respect of these shares
has therefore been written off to the profit and loss account.
On 3 November 2004 the company entered into a Creditors Voluntary Arrangement
under which the existing 33,908,535 Ordinary shares of 1p each were
consolidated into 678,170 Ordinary shares of 50p and those shares were
divided into 678,170 ordinary shares of 0.2p each and 678,170 new deferred
shares of 49.8p each. Subsequently 1,586,666 ordinary shares of 0.2p each
were issued to the creditors under the supervision of the CVA supervisor,
together with 1,040,874 new ordinary shares of 0.2p each to Lloyds Traders
Inc at par and 174,059 new ordinary shares of 0.2p each at par to the CVA
Supervisor in respect of their services.
On 3 November 2004, following the Extraordinary General Meeting the company
created 'A' Warrants in respect of 500,000 Ordinary shares for subscription
at an issue price of 0.2p per share at any time before 30 November 2006, and
all of the said warrants were issued to Lloyd Traders Inc, a company in which
three of the directors (namely Mr Oakes, Mr Knifton and Mr Weller) are
interested.
