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.

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.

       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.

    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.
