Introduction

It is a great pleasure to present Mobile Tornado’s first Accounts as a publicly listed Company.
The  listing  was  obtained  in  March  2006  through  the  reverse  takeover  by  Mobile  Tornado
International  Limited  of  TMT  Group  plc,  a  Company  already  listed  on  AIM,  but  with  no
underlying business. Following this, TMT changed its name to Mobile Tornado Group plc and
the existing business of Mobile Tornado has continued, unchanged and uninterrupted.

I first became involved with Mobile Tornado as a shareholder in February 2004 having been
attracted by the technology platform that had been developed. The technology was developed
from  1999  onwards  by  Eyal  Fishler  and  Jorge  Pinievsky  whilst  working  for  Mobile  Tornado
Israel Limited, a technology Company which they co-owned together with other investors. In
February  2004,  Mobile  Tornado  International  Limited,  a  newly  incorporated  Irish  Company,
acquired the assets and employees of Mobile Tornado Israel Limited. Following this acquisition,
Mobile  Tornado  maintained  an  Israeli  research  and  development  centre,  appointed  a  new
management  team  based  in  Dublin,  and  commenced  the  process  of  commercialising  the
technology.  This  ‘streaming’  technology,  for  which  patents  have  been  filed  in  a  number  of
territories,  addresses  an  area  of  the  telecommunications  market,  instant  communications,
which I believe over the next few years will present enormous opportunity. Mobile Tornado’s
platform currently enables the provision of the following services:

Push to Talk – PTT applications allow users to exchange real time voice messages between
mobile phones and/or personal computers. Users can message individuals in their contact list
one-on-one,  or  broadcast  to  a  larger  group  of  contacts.  As  with  instant  messaging  on  the
internet, users signal their availability status, known as presence, which is then displayed on
phones across their group of contacts. This allows very quick instant messaging on mobiles
worldwide, without having to text.

Presence –  In  the  same  way  that  instant  messaging  users  on  the  internet  can  see  who  in
their  contact  group  is  on-line,  the  Mobile  Tornado  platform  provides  the  same  presence
functionality  for  mobile  phones.  Mobile  users  can  see  the  current  status  being  signalled  by
users  in  their  group,  including  online,  offline  and  do  not  disturb,  and  choose  whether  to
contact them.

Desktop-Mobile PTT – As well as, or instead of, using their mobile phone to make PTT calls,
users  can  install  a  small  piece  of  software  on  their  personal  computer  from  which  they  can
then  make  calls  to  other  PTT  users.  This  is  particularly  valuable  to  enterprises  with  central
dispatch functions.

Since  February  2004,  Mobile  Tornado  has  raised  approximately  £5.3  million  in  equity  and
convertible  loans  from  a  number  of  private  individuals.  The  reversal  into  TMT  Group  plc  in
March 2006 was accompanied by a further placing of £880k. The injection of £4 million into
the Company by InTechnology plc in October 2006 has, I believe, now given the Group the
financial platform to fully exploit the global opportunity.

Results

The primary focus during the period under review has been to put the business onto a stable
financial  platform.  The  first  stage  was  successfully  achieved  through  the  reversal  into  TMT
Group  plc  in  March  2006.  This  has  significantly  enhanced  the  Group’s  status  and  credibility
with  its  customers  and  partners  who  include  some  of  the  biggest  global  operators  in  the
telecommunications sector.

The second stage of this process was achieved on 23 October 2006 with the £4.0m investment
by InTechnology plc. This investment will provide the Group with the resources to strengthen
its  sales  and  marketing  activities  and  to  maintain  the  development  of  its  core  technology
platform.

Chairman’s report

Turnover  in  the  year  amounted  to  £289k  (2005:  £766k).  Operating  losses  increased  to
£3,381k  (2005:  £2,809k).  After  interest  charges  and  other  finance  costs  of  £469k  (2005:
£232k) the loss on ordinary activities before taxation was £3,850k (2005: £3,041k). Net cash
outflow  from  operating  activities  was  £1,649k  (2005:  £916k  inflow)  driven  by  increased
investment in research and development.

Review of operations

A disproportionate amount of executive time has been spent on securing the Company’s listing
onto AIM in March of this year and in procuring subsequent funding. As a consequence, the
lack  of  focus  and  resources  applied  to  the  sales  function  has  inevitably  resulted  in  a
disappointing  performance  with  sales  for  the  period  under  review  lower  than  the  previous
year. This result does not in any way lessen the opportunity that exists in the market place
for the Group’s technology platform. Following the appointment of the new board of Directors
on 24 November the primary focus has been to establish a clear sales strategy to increase the
sale of current products and services to mobile operators and enterprises.

Although Alcatel and Nortel Networks, the Group’s existing partners, provide Mobile Tornado
with  access  to  a  number  of  the  world’s  mobile  network  operators,  we  will  seek  additional
distribution  partners,  particularly  targeting  specific  markets.  Efforts  will  be  focussed  on
supporting Tier 2 and Tier 3 mobile operators through such distribution partners, especially
those outside the US and Western Europe. The Directors consider that many mobile operators
in Asia, Africa, South America and Eastern Europe are looking for low-cost, quick to deploy,
tried and tested PTT solutions. These relatively small operators may not be able to justify an
investment in expensive next generation IMS solutions and therefore represent a good long-
term opportunity for the Group.

The Group aims to further establish its indirect sales model and distribution network to sell
enterprise solutions to businesses. Mobile Tornado currently has distribution agreements with
partners  in  the  US,  Germany,  and  the  Netherlands.  These  partners  are  considered  to  be
credible providers of mobile data solutions and managed mobile services, and have customers
in the market sectors to which PTT is attractive. The Directors are in the process of identifying
further  potential  distribution  partners  in  different  geographical  regions  and  aim  to  pursue
negotiations  with  a  view  to  entering  into  contractual  arrangements  with  them.  I  expect  to
make announcements on new partners early in 2007.

On  the  technology  front,  the  Group  will  continue  to  invest  in  its  research  and  development
operation  based  in  Tel  Aviv.  The  team  is  currently  working  on  the  following  applications  to
complement its range of services -

•

•

•

•

Push to e-mail – sends a voice message to a contact’s e-mail;

Push to call – triggers a normal voice call from within PTT;

Push to video – lets other users see what one user’s phone sees; and

Push to send content – allows customers to send and receive data such as pictures and
files.

These applications will support the strategy of supplementing initial licence fees with upgrade
fees.  We  currently  believe  the  Israeli  research  and  development  centre  is  resourced  to
complete  most  of  the  development  programme  for  new  applications  and  upgrades  to  the
current platform, although we will consider outsourcing some elements where appropriate.

Management

At the time of my appointment to the Board a number of other key board appointments were
made. Jeremy Fenn has joined the board as Chief Financial Officer, David Parry as VP Sales
Worldwide and Eyal Fishler as Chief Technical Officer. I have worked very closely with Jeremy

Page 3

Chairman’s report

and David in the past and I am confident that the skill sets they bring will help the Group to
realise its enormous potential. The introduction of Eyal onto the Board demonstrates our belief
in the technical platform he and his team have created and my commitment to ensure that it
remains at the forefront of the instant communications revolution.

Current trading and future prospects

It is quite clear to me, from the short time I have been on the Board that the Group does not
suffer from a lack of opportunity. The market for instant communications in a mobile world is
starting to grow very rapidly. I believe we are ideally placed to capitalise on this momentum
and I am confident that we can deliver significant progress during 2007.

I would like to record my appreciation for the continuing commitment of all our team members
throughout the business and thank them for their support during a year of significant change.

I look forward to the next 12 months with confidence.

Non Executive Chairman

Directors’ report

The  Directors  present  their  annual  report  and  audited  financial  statements  of  the  Company
and the Group for the year ended 30 June 2006.

Principal activities

Mobile Tornado is a provider of next generation instant messaging solutions which serve the
market of mobile data services in the mobile communication industry. These services include
a Group of services generically termed `push to x’ services, of which ‘Push to Talk’ is the most
commonly known.

Business review

The  information  that  fulfils  the  requirements  of  the  Business  Review  can  be  found  in  the
Chairman’s Report on page 2.

Results and dividends

The  Directors  are  unable  to  recommend  the  payment  of  a  dividend  in  respect  of  the  year
ended 30 June 2006 (2005: £nil). The Company currently intends to reinvest future earnings
to finance the growth of the business.

The  loss  sustained  for  the  financial  year  of  £3,850k  (2005:  £3,041k)  will  be  deducted  from
reserves.

Key performance indicators

The  board  recognises  the  importance  of  setting  and  monitoring  key  performance  indicators
(KPI) across the Group. Maintaining the services of members of the research and development
team during the year was seen as key and a KPI concerning staff turnover of this function was
set. Performance levels as measured by this indicator were high. Going forward, the Group’s
KPI will be that of EBITDA.

Share Issues

On 26 April 2006, the Company announced a placing of 14,551,333 shares at a price of 16p
per share to fund the acceleration of its global marketing and the development of extensions
to  its  fixed-mobile  convergence  products.  Jorge  Pinievsky,  then  a  Director  of  the  Company,
subscribed for 12,251,333 shares in the April Placing.

On 27 June 2006 the Company announced that it had not received payment for the shares
issued to Mr Pinievsky in the April Placing. Mr Pinievsky subsequently resigned from the board
of  Directors  of  the  Company,  although  he  remains  an  employee  of  the  Group,  owing  to  his
commercial expertise in the Group’s market. Mr Pinievsky has surrendered all shares issued
to him in the April Placing to the Company.

Mr Pinievsky’s unpaid shares, which have been surrendered to the Company, will be held by
the Company and either re-allotted or cancelled in due course. The unpaid 12,251,333 shares
and  the  associated  debtor  are  not  included  within  the  total  of  issued  share  capital  or  the
associated notes of the Group or the legal parent. If the surrendered shares are not re-allotted
within three years of their surrender, they must be cancelled. Mr Pinievsky remains liable to
the  Company  for  the  unpaid  issue  price  (less  any  amount  realised  by  the  Company  if  the
shares are re-allotted).

Change of accounting period

The Directors have elected to change the accounting period of the Group to a 31 December
period end date in light of the period end date of other Group companies. Consequently, the
next accounting period of the Group will be 1 July 2006 to 31 December 2007.

Directors’ report

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

The Board recognises that IFRS is expected to apply to the Company and the Group from the
first  accounting  period  commencing  after  1  January  2007  as  an  AIM  listed  Company.  The
board also recognises that the first set of accounts of the Group that will be prepared under
IFRS are those for the period 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008 and that this will require
the Group to develop a corporate reporting structure and policies to meet this requirement.

Charitable and political donations

The Group made no charitable or political contributions during the year (2005: £nil).

There were no changes in Directors’ interests between 1 July 2006 and 29 December 2006.

Details of related party transactions involving Directors of the Company are given in note 24
to the financial statements.

Post balance sheet event

Eyal Fishler and David Parry were each awarded 1,800,000 share options on 27 October 2006
at  an  exercise  price  of  5  pence  per  share.  The  options  were  granted  under  the  Company’s
2006 share option plan.

Substantial shareholdings

At 29 December 2006, InTechnology plc held 80,000,000 shares in the Company representing
43.4% of the issued ordinary share capital. There are no other shareholders, other than the
Directors detailed above, who hold more than 3% of the Company’s issued share capital.

Corporate governance

The  Directors  are  committed  to  a  high  standard  of  corporate  governance  throughout  the
Group.

Audit Committee

The  Audit  Committee  is  chaired  by  Peter  Wilkinson  and  its  other  member  is  the  other  non-
Executive  Director,  John  Swingewood.  Meetings  are  also  attended,  by  invitation,  by  the
Executive  Directors.  This  committee  normally  meets  twice  during  the  financial  year,  around
the time of the preparation of the Group’s interim and final results.

The  committee  assists  the  board  in  ensuring  that  appropriate  accounting  policies,  internal
financial controls and compliance procedures are in place. It also reviews the drafts of interim
and  final  results  prior  to  submission  to  the  board  and  provides  a  forum  through  which  the
external auditors report to the board.

Internal control

The Directors acknowledge their responsibility for the Group’s systems of internal control. The
Group  maintains  systems  of  internal  controls,  including  suitable  monitoring  procedures,  in
order  to  provide  reasonable,  but  not  absolute,  assurance  of  the  maintenance  of  proper
accounting records and the consequent reliability of the financial information used within the
business to identify and deal with any problems on a timely basis. The monitoring and control

Page 7

Directors’ report

procedures include the specification of defined lines of responsibility and authorisation limits,
the  delegation  of  authority,  the  identification  of  risks  and  the  continual  process  of  the
preparation of, and reporting against, annual budgets, forecasts and strategic plans.

Financial risk management

The  Group’s  financial  instruments  comprise,  principally,  cash  and  short  term  deposits,  and
various items, such as trade debtors and trade creditors, arising directly from its operations.
The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group’s operations.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are currency risk, interest risk
and liquidity risk. The board’s policies for managing these risks are summarised as follows:

Currency  risk –  the  Group  has  no  borrowings  in  foreign  currency,  and  foreign  currency
liabilities  are  matched  wherever  possible  by  corresponding  foreign  currency  assets.  Foreign
currency bank accounts are utilised where appropriate. No transactions of a speculative nature
are undertaken.

Interest risk – The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it invests surplus cash in floating
rate deposit accounts. These funds are invested with the objective of maintaining a balance
between accessibility of funds and competitive rates or return.

Liquidity  risk –  the  Group  seeks  to  ensure  sufficient  liquidity  is  available  to  meet  its
foreseeable  needs.  The  board  reviews  cash  flow  projections  and  the  headroom  position  in
respect of its cash balances and banking facilities to ensure the Group is adequately funded.

Going concern

After  reviewing  profit  and  cashflow  forecasts  for  the  year  ending  31  December  2007  the
Directors  have  a  reasonable  expectation  that  the  Company  and  the  Group  have  adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In October 2006 the
Group secured a further funding injection from InTechnology plc who subscribed £4 million for
80 million shares at 5p per share. For these reasons, the Directors continue to adopt the going
concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Employees

The Group places considerable value on the involvement of its employees and has continued
its practice of keeping them informed of matters affecting them as employees and the various
factors affecting the performance of the Group.

The Directors recognise that continued and sustained improvement in the performance of the
Group depends on its ability to attract, motivate and retain employees of the highest calibre.
Furthermore, the Directors believe that the Group’s ability to sustain a competitive advantage
over the long term depends in a large part on ensuring that all employees contribute to the
maximum  of  their  potential.  The  Group  is  committed  to  improving  the  performance  of  all
employees through development and training.

The  Group  is  an  equal  opportunity  employer.  The  Group’s  policies  seek  to  promote  an
environment  free  from  discrimination,  harassment  and  victimisation  and  to  ensure  that  no
employee or applicant is treated less favourably on the grounds of gender, marital status, age,
race, colour, nationality or national origin, disability or sexual orientation or is disadvantaged
by  conditions  or  requirements,  which  cannot  objectively  be  justified.  Entry  into,  and
progression within the Group, is solely determined on the basis of work criteria and individual
merit.

The Group continues to give full and fair consideration to applications for employment made
by  disabled  persons,  having  regard  to  their  respective  aptitudes  and  abilities.  The  policy

Page 8

Directors’ report

includes,  where  practicable,  the  continued  employment  of  those  who  may  become  disabled
during their employment and the provision of training and career development and promotion,
where appropriate.

Share schemes

Share  ownership  is  at  the  heart  of  the  Group’s  remuneration  philosophy  and  the  Directors
believe that the key to the Group’s future success lies in a motivated workforce holding a stake
in  the  Company.  Details  of  share  options  granted  are  set  out  in  note  14  to  the  financial
statements.

Pension costs

The  Group  does  not  operate  a  pension  scheme  but  makes  contributions  to  the  personal
pension schemes of some of its employees. These contributions are charged against profits.

Research and development

The  Group  continues  to  undertake  research  and  development  of  new  products  with  the
objective of increasing future profitability. The cost to the Group is charged to the profit and
loss account as incurred.

Policy and practice on payment of creditors

It  is  the  Group’s  policy  to  agree  terms  and  conditions  for  its  business  transactions  with  its
suppliers. The Group seeks to abide by the payment terms agreed with suppliers whenever it
is satisfied that the supplier has provided the goods or services in accordance with the agreed
terms and conditions.

In the year ended 30 June 2006 average creditor days for the Group and Company were 182
days (2005: 238 days) and 313 days (2005: 24 days) respectively. Creditor days have eased
substantially since the year end following the funding received from InTechnology plc.

Environment

The  Group  recognises  the  importance  of  environmental  responsibility.  The  nature  of  its
activities  has  a  minimal  effect  on  the  environment  but  where  they  do,  the  Group  acts
responsibly and is aware of its obligations at all times.

Statement of Directors’ responsibilities

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in
accordance  with  applicable  law  and  regulations.  Company  law  requires  the  Directors  to
prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have elected
to  prepare  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  United  Kingdom  Accounting  Standards
(United  Kingdom  Generally  Accepted  Accounting  Practice).  The  financial  statements  are
required  by  law  to  give  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  state  of  affairs  of  the  Company  and  the
Group  and  of  the  profit  or  loss  of  the  Group  for  that  period.  In  preparing  these  financial
statements, the Directors are required to:

–

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

– make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

–

–

state  whether  applicable  UK  Accounting  Standards  have  been  followed,  subject  to  any
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to
presume that the Company will continue in business.

Page 9

Directors’ report

The  Directors  are  responsible  for  keeping  proper  accounting  records  that  disclose  with
reasonable  accuracy  at  any  time  the  financial  position  of  the  Company  and  the  Group  and
enable  them  to  ensure  that  the  financial  statements  comply  with  the  Companies  Act  1985.
They  are  also  responsible  for  safeguarding  the  assets  of  the  Company  and  the  Group  and
hence  for  taking  reasonable  steps  for  the  prevention  and  detection  of  fraud  and  other
irregularities.

In so far as the Directors are aware:

–

–

there is no relevant audit information of which the Company’s auditors are unaware; and

the  directors  have  taken  all  steps  that  they  ought  to  have  taken  to  make  themselves
aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of
the that information.

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial
information included on the Company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing
the preparation of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Annual General Meeting

The next AGM of the Company will be held on 31 January 2007. Details of the business to be
proposed at the AGM are contained within the Notice of Meeting, which is set out on pages 31
to 35.

Independent auditors

Grant Thornton UK LLP have indicated their willingness to continue in office and a resolution
proposing that they be reappointed as independent auditors and authorising the Directors to
fix their remuneration will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

Report of the independent auditor to the
members of Mobile Tornado Group plc

For the year ended 30 June 2006

We  have  audited  the  Group  and  parent  Company  financial  statements  (the  “financial
statements’’) of Mobile Tornado Group plc for the year ended 30 June 2006 which comprise
the  consolidated  profit  and  loss  account,  the  Group  and  Company  balance  sheets,  the
consolidated cash flow statement, accounting policies and the related notes. These financial
statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein.

This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Section
235 of the Companies Act 1985. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state
to  the  Company’s  members  those  matters  we  are  required  to  state  to  them  in  an  auditor’s
report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or
assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s members as a
body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of Directors and auditors

The Directors’ responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in
accordance  with  United  Kingdom  law  and  Accounting  Standards  (United  Kingdom  Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice) are set out in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities.

Our  responsibility  is  to  audit  the  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  relevant  legal  and
regulatory requirements and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland).

We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view
and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985. We also report to you
whether  in  our  opinion  the  information  given  in  the  Directors’  Report  is  consistent  with  the
financial statements.

In addition we report to you if, in our opinion, the Company has not kept proper accounting
records, if we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit,
or if information specified by law regarding Directors’ remuneration and other transactions is
not disclosed.

We  read  other  information  contained  in  the  Annual  Report,  and  consider  whether  it  is
consistent  with  the  audited  financial  statements.  This  other  information  comprises  only  the
Chairman’s Report and the Directors’ Report. We consider the implications for our report if we
become  aware  of  any  apparent  misstatements  or  material  inconsistencies  with  the  financial
statements. Our responsibilities do not extend to any other information.

Basis of audit opinion

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  International  Standards  on  Auditing  (UK  and
Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis,
of  evidence  relevant  to  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  It  also
includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgments made by the Directors in
the  preparation  of  the  financial  statements,  and  of  whether  the  accounting  policies  are
appropriate to the Group’s and Company’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately
disclosed.

We  planned  and  performed  our  audit  so  as  to  obtain  all  the  information  and  explanations
which  we  considered  necessary  in  order  to  provide  us  with  sufficient  evidence  to  give
reasonable  assurance  that  the  financial  statements  are  free  from  material  misstatement,
whether  caused  by  fraud  or  other  irregularity  or  error.  In  forming  our  opinion  we  also
evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.

Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  Companies  Act  1985,
applicable  Accounting  Standards  in  the  United  Kingdom  and  the  historical  cost  convention
except for the adoption of reverse acquisition accounting, described below, which constitutes
a true and fair override departure from United Kingdom accounting standards.

A summary of the main accounting policies which have been applied consistently is set out as
follows.

Basis of consolidation

The  Group  financial  statements  consolidate  those  of  the  Company  and  its  subsidiary
undertakings at 30 June 2006. Acquisitions of subsidiaries are dealt with using the acquisition
method of accounting except for the reverse takeover transaction detailed below.

On  7  March  2006  the  Company,  then  named  TMT  Group  plc,  became  the  parent  of  Mobile
Tornado International Limited, in a share for share transaction. Due to the relative value of
the  companies,  the  former  Mobile  Tornado  International  Limited  shareholders  became
majority shareholders with 97% of the share capital. Following the transaction, the Company’s
continuing operations and executive management were that of Mobile Tornado International
Limited. Accordingly the substance of the combination was that Mobile Tornado International
Limited acquired TMT Group plc in a reverse acquisition. As part of the business combination
TMT Group plc changed its name to Mobile Tornado Group Plc.

The  Companies  Act  1985,  FRS  6  and  FRS  7,  would  normally  require  the  Company’s
consolidated accounts to follow the legal form of the business combination. In that case the
pre-acquisition results would be that of TMT Group plc and its subsidiary undertakings, which
would  exclude  Mobile  Tornado  International  Limited.  The  results  of  Mobile  Tornado
International Limited would then be included in the Group from 7 March 2006. However, this
would  portray  the  combination  as  the  acquisition  of  Mobile  Tornado  International  by  TMT
Group plc, and would, in the opinion of the Directors, fail to give a true and fair view of the
substance  of  the  business  combination.  Accordingly  the  Directors  have  adopted  reverse
acquisition accounting as the basis of consolidation in order to give a true and fair view.

In invoking the true and fair override the Directors note that reverse acquisition accounting is
endorsed under International Financial Reporting Standard 3. Furthermore, the Urgent Issues
Task Force of the UK’s Accounting Standards Board considered the subject and concluded that
there are instances where it is right and proper to invoke the true and fair override in such a
way.

As a consequence of applying reverse acquisition accounting, the results of the Group for the
year ended 30 June 2006 comprise the results of Mobile Tornado International Limited to its
year ending 30 June 2006 plus the results of TMT Group plc from 7 March 2006, the date of
acquisition,  to  30  June  2006.  The  comparative  figures  are  those  of  Mobile  Tornado
International  Limited  for  the  year  ending  30  June  2005.  As  set  out  in  note  7,  goodwill
amounting  to  £448,134  arose  on  the  difference  between  the  sum  of  the  fair  value  of  TMT
Group plc’s share capital and the cost of acquisition, and the fair value of its net assets at the
reverse  acquisition  date.  The  goodwill  has  been  written  off  in  the  year  to  30  June  2006
because TMT Group plc had no continuing business and the goodwill had no intrinsic value.

The Company is entitled to the merger relief offered by section 131 of the Companies Act 1985
in respect of the consideration received in excess of the nominal value of the equity shares
issued  in  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  Mobile  Tornado  International  Limited  which  has
been credited to a merger reserve.

The effect on the consolidated financial statements of adopting reverse acquisition accounting,
rather  than  following  the  legal  form,  are  widespread.  However,  the  following  table  indicates
the principal effect on the composition of the consolidated reserves:

Goodwill  arising  on  the  reverse  acquisition  of  TMT  Group  plc  has  been  written  off  to  the
reverse acquisition reserve for the reasons explained above.

Intangible fixed assets

The cost of intangible fixed assets is their purchase cost. Amortisation is calculated so as to
write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life
of that asset as follows:

Intellectual Property

5 years

Tangible fixed assets

The  cost  of  tangible  fixed  assets  is  their  purchase  cost.  Depreciation  is  calculated  so  as  to
write-off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life
of that asset as follows:

Office equipment

3 years

Computer equipment

3 years

Investments

Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less any provision for impairment.

Revenue recognition

Turnover  represents  the  invoiced  sales  price,  less  trade  discounts  allowed,  value  added  tax
and other sales taxes (where applicable). The majority of revenues are derived from software
licence sales of Mobile Tornado products.

Licences

For  software  licence  arrangements  that  do  not  require  significant  modification  or
customisation of the underlying software, revenues are recognised on the later of:

1.

2.

3.

The entering into a legally binding arrangement with the customer for the licence of the
software.

The  fulfilment  of  any  related  obligation  defined  in  such  an  arrangement  related  to  the
various stages of the product(s) delivery, such as installation, upgrades or acceptance.

Customer  payment  being  deemed  fixed  or  determinable  and  free  of  material
contingencies or other significant uncertainties.

Page 17

Accounting policies

Consulting services (fixed price basis)

Many  of  these  software  licence  arrangements  also  include  short-term  consulting
implementation services.

To  the  extent  that  such  consulting  services  are  considered  distinct  from  the  installation  of
Mobile Tornado’s licensed product:

•

•

•

Expenses relating to the provision of such consulting services are recognised as incurred.

The  related  revenues  are  recognised  in  the  accounting  period  in  which  the  work  is
performed.

Any related loss on completion of such work is recognised as soon as it is anticipated.

Factors considered in determining whether consulting service revenues should be accounted
for separately include:– the nature of the services (ie. whether the services are essential to
the functionality of the licensed product), the degree of risk, the availability of services from
other vendors, timing of payments and the impact of milestones or other acceptance criteria
on the realisation of the software licence fee.

The revenue streams detailed above constitute one class of business.

Revenue invoiced to customers that has not fulfilled the recognition criteria detailed above, is
held in a deferred income account.

Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of
the  transaction.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are
translated to sterling at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date.

The results and assets and liabilities of overseas subsidiary undertakings are translated at the
year  end  exchange  rate.  Any  resulting  exchange  differences  are  taken  to  reserves  and  are
reported in the statement of total recognised gains and losses if material.

All other exchange differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

Research and development

Research  and  development  expenditure  is  written  off  to  the  profit  and  loss  account  as
incurred.

Deferred taxation

Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences where the transactions or events that give
the group an obligation to pay more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future,
have occurred by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is more
likely than not that they will be recovered.

Share options

The  Group  grants  share  options  to  employees  and  Directors  on  a  discretionary  basis.  When
share options are granted to employees a charge is made to the Group profit and loss account
and  a  reserve  created  in  capital  and  reserves  to  record  the  fair  value  of  the  awards  in
accordance with UITF Abstract 17 “Employee Share Schemes”. No charge has been made to
date as the exercise price of all share options granted has been equal to the Company’s share
price at the date of award.

Page 18

Accounting policies

Financial instruments

Income and expenditure arising on financial instruments is recognised on an accruals basis,
and credited or charged to the profit and loss account in the financial period to which it relates.
Financial  liabilities  and  equity  instruments  are  classified  according  to  the  substance  of  the
contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a
residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities. Where
the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to
a  similar  debt  instrument,  those  financial  instruments  are  classed  as  financial  liabilities.
Financial  liabilities  are  presented  as  such  in  the  balance  sheet.  Finance  costs  and  gains  or
losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs
are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability. Where
the  contractual  terms  of  share  capital  do  not  have  any  terms  meeting  the  definition  of  a
financial  liability  then  this  is  classed  as  an  equity  instrument.  Dividends  and  distributions
relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity.

Compound instruments

Compound  instruments  comprise  both  a  liability  and  an  equity  component.  At  the  date  of
issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest
rate  for  a  similar  debt  instrument.  The  liability  component  is  accounted  for  as  a  financial
liability.  The  residual  is  the  difference  between  the  net  proceeds  of  issue  and  the  liability
component (at time of issue). The residual is the equity component, which is accounted for as
an equity instrument. The interest expense on the liability component is calculated applying
the  effective  interest  rate  for  the  liability  component  of  the  instrument.  The  difference
between this amount and any repayments is added to the carrying amount of the liability in
the balance sheet. Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share
capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as
financial  liabilities.  Financial  liabilities  are  presented  as  such  in  the  balance  sheet.  Finance
costs  and  gains  or  losses  relating  to  financial  liabilities  are  included  in  the  profit  and  loss
account.  Finance  costs  are  calculated  so  as  to  produce  a  constant  rate  of  return  on  the
outstanding  liability.  The  impact  of  applying  this  accounting  policy  has  been  to  continue  to
classify all preference share capital and the convertible loan notes as financial liabilities.

Tax on loss on ordinary activities

Corporation Tax:
No charge to UK corporation tax arose in the period due to group trading losses incurred.

Deferred Tax:
Unrelieved tax losses of £8,408,000 remain available to offset against future trading profits.
No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of these losses.

The tax assessed for the period differs from that resulting from applying the standard rate of
corporation tax, the differences are explained below:

Loss of the holding company

As  permitted  by  section  230  of  the  Companies  Act  1985,  the  profit  and  loss  account  of  the
Company is not presented in these financial statements. The parent Company’s loss for the
year ended 30 June 2006 was £279,708 (2005: £170,899).

6

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of
£3,850,000 (2005: £3,041,000) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue
during the year of 80,339,651 (2005: 78,130,096). The weighted average number of shares
for  the  year  ended  30  June  2006  assumes  that  the  78,130,096  ordinary  shares  issued  in
relation  to  the  reverse  acquisition  of  Mobile  Tornado  Group  plc  (formerly  TMT  Group  plc)
existed for the entire year. Mobile Tornado Group plc shares have been included since 7 March
2006  the  date  of  the  reverse  acquisition,  and  all  other  shares  have  been  included  in  the
computation  based  on  the  weighted  average  number  of  days  since  issuance.  The  weighted
average number of ordinary shares for the year ended 30 June 2005 is assumed to be equal
to the 78,130,096 ordinary shares issued in relation to the reverse acquisition.

The adjusted basic earnings per share has been calculated to provide a better understanding
of the underlying performance of the Group as follows:

For the year ended 30 June 2006

The loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary
shares for the purpose of calculating the diluted earnings per ordinary share are identical to
those used for basic earnings per ordinary share. This is because the exercise of share options
is not dilutive under the terms of FRS 22 ‘Earnings per share’.

Page 24

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2006

On 7 March 2006 the Company issued 78,130,096 ordinary shares of 2p each in respect of
the reverse acquisition of Mobile Tornado International Limited.

On 7 March 2006 the Company issued 5,500,000 ordinary shares of 2p each in respect of a
placing at 16p per share.

On 21 April 2006 the Company issued 312,500 ordinary shares of 2p each as part payment
for  professional  fees  in  relation  to  the  reverse  acquisition  of  Mobile  Tornado  International
Limited.

On 26 April 2006, the Company announced a placing of 14,551,333 shares at a price of 16p
per share to fund the acceleration of its global marketing and the development of extensions
to  its  fixed-mobile  convergence  products.  Jorge  Pinievsky,  then  a  Director  of  the  Company,
subscribed for 12,251,333 shares in the April Placing.

On 27 June 2006 the Company announced that it had not received payment for the shares
issued to Mr Pinievsky in the April Placing. Mr Pinievsky subsequently resigned from the board
of  Directors  of  the  Company,  although  he  remains  an  employee  of  the  Group,  owing  to  his
technical expertise in the Group’s market. Mr Pinievsky has surrendered all shares issued to
him in the April Placing to the Company.

Mr Pinievsky’s unpaid shares, which have been surrendered to the Company, will be held by
the Company and either re-allotted or cancelled in due course. The unpaid 12,251,333 shares
and  the  associated  debtor  are  not  included  in  the  balance  sheet  or  associated  notes  of  the
Group or the legal parent. If the surrendered shares are not re-allotted within three years of
their surrender, they must be cancelled. Mr Pinievsky remains liable to the Company for the
unpaid issue price (less any amount realised by the Company if the shares are re-allotted).

Share issue costs

The Company incurred issue costs of £486,000 in respect of the above shares issued during
the year. These have been debited to the share premium account of the Company.

Share options

Certain employees hold options to subscribe for shares in the Company at prices ranging from
2p  to  5p  under  the  share  option  schemes.  The  number  of  shares  subject  to  options  is  as
follows:

20 Acquisitions

On 7 March 2006 Mobile Tornado International Limited completed the reverse acquisition of
TMT  Group  plc  for  consideration  of  £950,000,  reflecting  the  fair  value  of  the  5,937,500
ordinary  shares  acquired  having  a  market  value  of  16p  at  the  date  of  acquisition.  Goodwill
arising on the reverse acquisition and the fair value of the net assets acquired are set out on
the following table:

The goodwill of £448,000 has been written off in full in the year ended 30 June 2006 because
TMT Group plc has no continuing business and therefore the goodwill has no intrinsic value.

The profit and loss accounts of TMT Group plc for the period from 1 July 2005 to 7 March 2006
