Realignment impacts provisional consolidated financial statements of
313music JWP AG
Group sales from continued operations rise 30% to EUR 3.9 million (prior
year: adjusted EUR 3.0 million)
Provisional Group EBIT of EUR -7.1 million (prior year: adjusted EUR -4.9
million); Provisional net deficit of EUR 11.5 million (prior year: adjusted
EUR 7.3 million)
Publication of the consolidated financial statements delayed

Munich, 30 April 2009 - The 2008 business development of the 313music JWP
AG Group was greatly affected by the strategic realignment and a difficult
market environment, as expected. According to provisional figures, group
sales from continued operations rose from EUR 3.0 million to approx. EUR
3.9 million, whilst EBIT fell to EUR -7.1 million (prior year: adjusted EUR
-4.9 million) despite significant cost cutting efforts within the Group.
The 2008 net income was negatively influenced by large writedowns as part
of the risk provisions.

The provisional group net result from continued and discontinued operations
was EUR -11.5 million compared with EUR -7.3 million in the prior year.
This was partly due to additional writedowns on operations in Puerto Rico
that are not intended to be continued. The provisional 2008 consolidated
financial statements of 313music JWP AG and the corresponding prior year
figures have already been adjusted for the corresponding operations.

The financial statements of the Puerto Rican subsidiary are not completed
yet. Therefore it is not possible to publish the final 2008 consolidated
financial statements on time. The Commercial Code financial statements of
parent company 313music JWP AG will be published punctually.

After optimizing the cost structure and with regard to the planned
termination of the engagement in the American market, the parent company
313music JWP AG expects a positive EBIT in Q1, 2009.
