Chairman's statement
I am pleased to be able to report that the Group continued to trade profitably
at the EBITDA level, and continued to generate cash. The Group reported net
funds at the year-end of £643,000.
The Board undertook a review of the strategic options open to the company with
the objective of accelerating the growth of the business with a faster move to
full profitability.
As a result two strategic initiatives have been undertaken:
The first is the proposed acquisition of Cube Group of Companies. Further
information in respect of the acquisition will be set out in a circular to be
sent to shareholders.
The second initiative is the refinement of the Impulse Live! business model.
Since its launch as Newsagents Radio the Impulse Live! station has matured into
a marketing platform for the rapidly expanding convenience store retail sector
and the profile of retailers taking the station has shifted from the small
independent sector to larger branded symbol groups. This change of client
profile has enabled a shift to primarily subscription based revenue streams and
away from solely advertising based revenue. The change of business model and the
impact of it on the financials of Impulse Live! is covered in detail in the
Chief Executive's review which follows.
Prospects for the current year are good. The strategic initiatives described
above will have an immediate positive impact, whilst there are reasons to be
optimistic that the subscription stations currently broadcast will be added to.

Chief Executive's review
Acquisition of Cube Group
I am delighted to announce that Immedia Broadcasting, the UK's leading provider
of live tailored radio for retailers, has agreed to purchase the entire share
capital of Cube Group of Companies ('Cube') for an aggregate consideration of
£2.43 million to be satisfied in part by cash (£1.5 million) and in part by the
issue of approximately 3.3 million new shares. The consideration is subject to
adjustment depending on the extent to which certain specified revenue and gross
profit targets are met by Cube. If any deferred cash payment becomes due and
payable, it is to be paid together with an amount equal to 8 per cent per annum
of such deferred sum.
Cube produces digital media in the form of audio or audio-visual programming
primarily for the retail sector, and within that the fashion and hair & beauty
sectors. This programming is used as in-store entertainment, for promotion and
advertising. Additionally, Cube provides a range of associated services such as
hardware design and installation, content distribution, content aggregation and
scheduling, creation of visual media and hardware support and maintenance. The
Directors believe Cube is a high quality service provider.
In 2005 we announced the launch of the RadioVision product and identified the
need for a strong visual partner. By acquiring Cube, I believe we have achieved
that goal. Cube brings a wealth of TV broadcast talent, it shares a similar
in-store strategy and introduces Immedia to exciting new clients such as Top
Shop, Top Man, Burberry and Toni&Guy. Cube produces high quality in-store
programmes and promotions, supported by premium screen installations. Their
product fits well with RadioVision, where live radio triggers engaging plasma
visuals in real time.
We will launch our first subscription trial for RadioVision at the end of April
2006 and believe the acquisition of Cube will allow us to accelerate the
development and sales of RadioVision.
Cube reported turnover of £1.68 million and pre-tax profit of £154,000 in the
year to September 2005.
It is intended that Fiona Ryder and Ross Penney of Cube will be appointed to the
Board of the Company on completion of the acquisition. Ms Ryder's proposed
annual salary is £80,000 per annum, increasing to £100,000 per annum with effect
from 1 January 2007, and Mr Penney's proposed annual salary is £63,000 per
annum, increasing to £83,000 per annum with effect from 1 January 2007. Ms
Ryder and Mr Penney would also be entitled to receive certain benefits in line
with those receivable by the other executive directors of Immedia. Their
proposed service contracts would be terminable on six months' notice.
Preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2005
I am also pleased to present our results for the 12 month period ending 31
December 2005 and report further progress in the development of Immedia's
business.
Immedia retained a sound financial position for the year with net funds of
£643,000 at the 31st December 2005. Turnover for the year increased to £3.01
million, with gross margin improving by £72,000. Direct costs were managed down,
whilst staff costs rose slightly in order to prepare for new projects currently
in the pipeline. We removed our internal sales function and outsourced all of
our advertising sales by appointing ABC media, who have started well. EBITDA for
the year was £73,391 and the Group generated £182,000 of cash.
The Company continued to work hard to demonstrate the key benefits of its live
radio stations to retailers. Now more than ever our clients are comfortable that
a tailored live station from Immedia dramatically improves incremental sales,
assists internal communications and helps integrate all other communication
channels.
Subscription Channels
The year saw Immedia working with some of the largest retail brands on the high
street.
Following a successful trial for HSBC in 50 of their branches we successfully
converted this opportunity to a roll-out of 'HSBC Live', a bespoke radio
station, in over 400 branches across the UK. This was a milestone for the
Company, as we won a new category of client and were able to demonstrate our
ability to work in a highly regulated environment. We also successfully launched
a trial for IKEA and have since converted this into a contract that covers all
14 existing stores in the UK. We have been informed that the station will be
rolled out to all future stores as part of the IKEA UK retail development
programme. Finally, we have other subscription trials underway with an
excellent prospect of winning additional long-term contracts.
Strategic change for the Impulse Live! network
The Impulse Live! network serves nearly 4,000 convenience stores. Historically
the radio hardware was provided to independent retailers free of charge so that
Immedia could establish a critical mass of listeners and prove the concept.
Immedia's turnover came from advertising sales. In my report last year, I
highlighted the opportunity to transfer the Impulse 'free to retail' model to a
subscription model. This new model enables us to keep the majority of the
advertising rights and charge a fee for the service.
The Impulse Live! network has established itself as an important promotional
tool for convenience stores and branded symbol groups like Spar have recognised
the benefits of it. New customers now pay for the hardware as well as the
licence fee. This year we have signed Northcliffe Retail on this new
subscription model. In another major development, we are now able to provide our
branded symbol clients with a 'traffic managed' tailored service that not only
provides them with announcements and advertising specific to their group but
also includes a solution to trigger local advertising relevant to each specific
store. We are in negotiations to provide this similar service to a number of
large branded symbol groups across the UK.
Impairment
Following a meeting of the Board on 16 March 2006, it was decided to write down
the carrying value of the Impulse Live! network hardware provided to independent
retailers. The impairment is £445,849 for the year ending 31 December 2005. As a
result of this write-down, the carrying value of the Company's assets will
reflect their economic value more accurately and the profitability of the
Company will, as a result of the ongoing reduction in the depreciation charge,
more closely match the Company's operating cash generation.
Impulse Live Ireland
Another development for the Impulse Live! brand was the launch of a subscription
trial for Alphyra, Europe's largest electronic cash collection company. On the
17th October we launched a new tailored Impulse station specifically for Irish
convenience stores. Following the successful trial, Alphyra signed a 5 year
contract with Immedia to roll out the station to up to 3,000 convenience stores
in Ireland. Alphyra will provide all the necessary equipment in stores to help
promote Alphyra products, including mobile top-up and bill payments. This
agreement could help procure further radio stations with Alphyra across Europe.
New advertising sales house
Whilst Immedia is moving from a solely 'free to retailer' model to one which
includes subscription revenues, it continues to generate revenues from the
advertising sales on the network. Last November we strengthened the sales team
by appointing ABC, an agency dedicated to in-store advertising and are pleased
with their progress so far. Nestle continued their chocolate sector exclusive
contract on Impulse, whilst News Group International and other brands continued
their campaigns. Other new advertisers included the National Lottery and Pepsi.
ABC is also selling advertising onto the Lloyds Pharmacy Live network with
success.
Outlook
Over the last two years, the market has recognised the potential of in-store
radio and television. Immedia, with the acquisition of Cube, now provides
services to some of the most well known names on the high street. This deal
will further strengthen the appeal of our offering and underpin our confidence
in establishing ourselves as the number one in the market.
The Company has a healthy pipeline of blue chip opportunities, and is driving
towards profitability.

Group trading results
Group turnover increased by 1.3% to £3.01 million (2004: £2.97m) whilst gross
profits increased by 4.5% to £1.70m (2004: £1.63m).
Underlying administrative expenses increased by £292,338 to £2.32 million,
following increased depreciation charges of £155,122 on historic investment,
additional personnel costs of £99,145 as the number of full time employees rose
from 22 to 25, and other costs of £38,071. Exceptional impairment charges of
£445,849 increased the total administration charge for the year to £2.77 million
(2004: £2.03 million).
The operating profit before depreciation and amortisation, exceptional
impairment charge and interest was £73,391 (2004: £138,174). After depreciation
and amortisation of £699,279, impairment charge of £445,849 and net interest
receivable of £20,321, the overall loss for the financial year increased to
£1,051,416 (2004: loss £367,448).

Notes to the preliminary results
1 Basis of preparation
The financial information set out above does not constitute the company's
statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2005 (but is derived from
those accounts). Statutory accounts for 2004 have been delivered to the
registrar of companies: the auditors have reported on those accounts; their
reports were unqualified and did not contain statements under section 237 (2) or
(3) of the Companies Act 1985. The 2005 accounts will be delivered to the
registrar of companies following the company's Annual General Meeting. The
Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting will be posted to the
shareholders by 6 April 2006. This preliminary announcement was approved by the
Board on 4 April 2006.
Basis of consolidation: on 20 November 2003 a new holding company was brought
into the group. This was carried out by a share for share exchange and the
existing shareholders of Immedia Broadcast Limited received 1,000 10p Ordinary
shares in Immedia Broadcasting Plc for every share held. There was no cash
consideration. T This group reconstruction has been accounted for as a merger as
permitted by FRS 6 acquisitions and mergers.
Classification of financial instruments issued by the Group. Following the
adoption of FRS 25, financial instruments issued by the Group are treated as
equity (i.e. forming part of shareholders' funds) only to the extent that they
meet the following two conditions:
a) they include no contractual obligations upon the Company (or Group as the
case may be) to deliver cash or other financial assets or to exchange
financial assets or financial liabilities with another party under
conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Company (or Group); and
b) where the instrument will or may be settled in the Company's own equity
instruments, it is either a non-derivative that includes no obligation to
deliver a variable number of the Company's own equity instruments or is a
derivative that will be settled by the Company's exchanging a fixed amount
of cash or other financial assets for a fixed number of its own equity
instruments.
To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of issue are
classified as a financial liability. Where the instrument so classified takes
the legal form of the Company's own shares, the amounts presented in these
financial statements for called up share capital and share premium account
exclude amounts in relation to those shares.
Where a financial instrument that contains both equity and financial liability
components exists these components are separated and accounted for individually
under the above policy. The finance cost on the financial liability component
is correspondingly higher over the life of the instrument.
Finance payments associated with financial liabilities are dealt with as part of
interest payable and similar charges. Finance payments associated with financial
instruments that are classified as part of shareholders' funds (see dividends
policy), are dealt with as appropriations in the reconciliation of movements in
shareholders' funds.
Notes (continued)
Both the Group and the Company have taken advantage of the transitional
arrangements of FRS 25 not to restate corresponding amounts in accordance with
the above policy. The adjustments necessary to implement this policy have been
made as at 1 January 2005 with the net adjustment to net assets, after tax,
taken through the 2005 reconciliation of movements in shareholders' funds. The
main differences between the 2004 and 2005 bases of accounting are shown below:
Effect on the balance sheet at 1 January 2005
£
Liabilities classified as shares- falling due after more than one year (28,253)
Net Assets 28,253
Share capital 3,880
Share premium 34,919
Profit and loss account (10,546)
Equity Shareholders'funds 28,253
The nature of the main effects upon the balance sheet at 1 January 2005 and upon
the 2005 consolidated profit and loss account, statement of total recognised
gains and losses and cash flow statement are as follows:
The unsecured convertible loans are treated as liabilities in 2004 and as part
liabilities, part shareholders' funds in 2005, increasing net funds, reported
share capital and net assets at the start of 2005. As a consequence, the
reconciliation of net cash flow to the movement in net funds in 2005 is also
affected (see note 7).
Of the previous carrying value of convertible debt, a portion has been treated
as a share subscription option (i.e. the conversion feature) and has been
transferred directly to equity on 1 January 2005. Thereafter, the finance cost
of the debt is higher. The cash flow statement is unaffected by this change in
accounting policy.
2 Employee Benefit Trust
The Group operates an employee benefit trust (EBT) for the benefit of its
employees through Immedia Broadcasting Trustees Limited which acts as Trustee.
At 31 December 2005 the EBT held 563,500 shares in Immedia Broadcasting Plc in
trust for employees against the future exercise of options granted under the
Immedia EMI Share Option Scheme (2004: 551,000 shares). Under UITF abstract 38
- Accounting for Employee Share Option Trusts - the own shares held in the trust
have been deducted from shareholders' funds (note 15).
Notes (continued)
3 Taxation
The charge for corporation tax is based on the loss for the year and takes into
account taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of
certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax is recognised,
without discounting, in respect of all timing differences between the treatment
of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes which have arisen but not
reversed by the balance sheet date, except as otherwise required by FRS 19.
4 Turnover and segmental analysis
Turnover, which is stated net of value added tax, represents amounts invoiced to
third parties. All turnover arose from the group's principal activity of
marketing services.
