Chairman’s Statement:
The Board of Mobile Streams is pleased to present its audited accounts for the financial year ended 30 June 2018.
The past twelve months have seen Mobile Streams continue with its strategy to develop a content offering direct to
consumers across a wide range of mobile devices in a number of large emerging markets. Adverse market conditions,
particularly in Argentina, saw the loss of a major billing partner and the peso devaluation.
Group revenue for the year ended 30 June 2018 was £3.0m (2017: £5.7m). Trading EBITDA (calculated as profit
before tax, interest, amortisation, depreciation, share compensation expense and impairment of assets) was, as
anticipated, negative £1.2m for year (2017: negative £1.5m). Loss before tax was £0.9m (2017: £1.5m loss). Much of
the reduction in revenues is attributable to challenging trading conditions in Argentina. Revenue in Argentina (which
equated to 76.4% of our revenue) on a constant currency basis decreased by 37% from AR$92m to AR$58m.
During the second half of the financial year the Company continued to invest in India to build a strong position in the
country and grow the number of our active subscribers. The second half of the financial year was particularly busy in
India, with several launches, including the three largest telecom operators covering over 700m mobile customers. In
the new financial year, the team will focus on growing the Group’s subscriber base and access to mobile customers
further, as well as exploring other strategic business alliances with key Indian mobile companies.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that general working capital requirement are likely to
require a further funding round within the next 12 months. The success of the previous equity funding rounds and access
to other sources of capital supports the Director’s reasonable expectation that Mobile Streams will have sufficient
resources to continue in operational existence throughout this period.
The Directors do not propose a payment of a dividend (2017: £Nil). In the new financial year, the majority of revenues
are once again expected to be generated in Latin America and the majority of the investment will be in India. The
Group ended the year with a net cash balance of £1.0m, with no debt, at 30 June 2018 (2017: £2.3m).
The Board believes that India remains the largest opportunity for the Company to deliver growth to shareholders via
established and newly developed products, leveraging its strong trading relationships in developing markets.

MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
STRATEGIC REPORT
Operating review
Mobile Streams’ performance during the financial year ended 30 June 2018 was driven primarily from its Mobile
Internet sales in Latin America. The past twelve months have seen Mobile Streams continue with its strategy to develop
a content offering direct to consumers across a wide range of mobile devices in a number of large emerging markets.
This is in addition to the Company’s business of providing content to mobile network operators and other business
partners.
Group revenue for the year ended 30 June 2018 was £3.0m. The gross profit of £1.2m decreased by 32.8% during the
year (year ended 30 June 2017: £1.8m). The gross profit margin increased from 30.8% to 38.7% as a result of decreased
marketing (direct to consumer) costs related to its Mobile Internet division.
Selling and marketing expenses were £0.6m, a 17% decrease on the year ended 30 June 2017. Revenues are generated
from two principal business activities: the sale of mobile content through mobile operators (Mobile Operator Sales);
and the sale of mobile content over the internet (Mobile Internet Sales). Additionally, the Group is engaged in the
provision of consulting and technical services (Other Service Fees).
During the period, both the Group's Mobile Internet revenues and its Mobile Operator revenues decreased. As
consumers steadily update their phones from legacy feature and flip phone models to smartphones, they have generally
used the operator content portals less. Consumers generally use independent portals, as well as the open mobile internet,
more actively.
Mobile Internet sales
The Group experienced growth and then stabilisation in 2017 to 2018 in Mobile Internet sales as consumers used their
mobile devices to purchase mobile content subscriptions. After that, the business model (based on Mobile Internet)
shifted to a model based on the operator platforms and the revenue based on internet decreased. The drop in sales was
due to a reduction in volume of revenue and the result of the devaluation of the Argentine peso during the 2014 to 2018
financial years, resulting in a fall in sales.
Latin America, primarily Argentina, accounted for the majority of revenues.
Mobile Operator sales
The Group has several contracts with mobile operators that allow the distribution of content through their mobile
portals, although the revenue has been reduced by more than 46% year on year partially because of consumer
preferences.
There was a reduction in the number of consumer visitors to these portals, which has been a continuing trend for several
years. The Group’s teams share and implement the best retailing practices in order to increase the conversion of visitors
into customers to mitigate the natural decline in this revenue stream as the market changes.
Sales by Territory
Operations in Argentina were extremely challenging in the year under review as a result of general market conditions
and regulation in the local market for mobile content subscriptions. Further reduction in revenues in this region are
seen as manageable on account of the Company’s strong relationship with its carrier billing partner and their
commitment to the business. However, this also presents the Group with an opportunity as it looks to refocus its
business and continue to develop its ad-funded games service and subscription services in India. These opportunities
are potentially transformational for the Group’s business.
In India, revenues have been steadily growing quarter after quarter. The Directors are continuously looking to improve
the Group’s gross margins by reducing its subscriber acquisition costs and increasing average revenue per
subscriber. However, trading has been more challenging than anticipated because of policy changes at one of the
Group’s key partners and lower revenue from another.
In the past financial year in India, the focus has been very much on growing the active paying weekly subscriber base
on our download and online games services. The marketing team responsible for the success The Group has had in
Latin America have had to be very flexible with their investment strategy over the period as the mobile market in India
is ever evolving. The demonetisation in India in November 2016, policy changes from selected carriers and zero rate

MOBILE STREAMS PLC

STRATEGIC REPORT
prepaid balances have been challenging but, on a positive note, the Group has direct carrier billing agreements with
two new mobile networks and launched its online HTML5 games service.
The Indian mobile market is developing quickly, the entrance of Reliance Jio 4G network (breaking world records in
subscriber growth) into the market has improved network connections throughout the country, lowered prices for data
and had a substantial impact on the financial results of other carriers.
During the financial year the Company continued to invest in India to build a strong position in the country and grow
the number of our active subscribers. Active subscribers had increased year on year to over 1 million members at the
end of the financial year. The second half of the financial year was particularly busy in India, with several launches,
including the 3 largest telecom operators covering over 700m mobile customers. In the new financial year, the team
will focus on growing the Group’s subscriber base and access to mobile customers further, as well as exploring other
strategic business alliances with key Indian mobile companies.
The Group has several contracts with mobile operators that allow the distribution of content through their mobile
portals, although the revenue has been reduced by more than 46% year on year partially because of consumer
preferences on products of other portals and a higher competition. There was a reduction in the number of consumer
visitors to these portals, which has been a continuing trend for several years. Our teams share and implement the best
retailing practices in order to increase the conversion of visitors into customers to mitigate the natural decline in this
revenue stream as the market changes.
Financial review
Group revenue for the year ended 30 June 2018 was £3.0m, a 46.5% decrease on the previous year (2017: £5.7m).
Gross profit was £1.2m, a decrease of 32.8% during the year (2017: £1.8m). The gross profit margin increased from
30.8% to 38.7% on account of decreased marketing (Direct to Consumer) costs related to Mobile Internet.
Selling, marketing and administrative expenses were £2.4m, a 30% decrease on the year ended 30 June 2018 (2017:
£3.4m).
The Group recorded a loss after tax of £1m for the year ended 30 June 2017 (2017 loss: £1.7m). Basic earnings per
share increased to a loss of 1 pence per share (2017: loss of 2.62 pence per share). Adjusted earnings per share
(excluding interest, depreciation, amortisation, impairments and share compensation expense) increased to a loss of 1
pence per share (2017: loss of 2.41 pence per share).
The Group had cash of £1m at 30 June 2018, with no debt (£2.3m of cash with no debt as at 30 June 2017). Argentina
cash was £0.6m at 30 June 2017 (2017: £0.8m).

MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial performance
Key performance indicators (“KPI’s”)
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue is a measure of our profitability. Gross profit was £1.2m for the year ended on
30 June 2018. The KPIs used by the Group are Trading EBITDA**, variance in revenue and gross profit. Management
review these on a regular basis, largely by reference to budgets and reforecasts. Trading EBITDA was a loss of £1.2m
for the year ended on 30 June 2018, and it was a loss of £1.5m for the year ended in 30 June 2017.
Earnings before tax, interest, amortisation, depreciation, share compensation expense and impairment of assets
(Trading EBITDA) measured exactly as stated. All tax, interest, amortisation, depreciation, share compensation
expense and impairment of assets entries in the consolidated income statement are added back to profit after tax in
calculating this measure.
Growth in revenue is a measure of how the Group is building its business. The Company’s goal is to achieve year-on-
year growth. Although revenue decreased 46.5% during the year, like-for-like revenue on a constant currency basis
decreased by 36%.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue is a measure of our profitability. Gross profit margin was 38.7% for the year
ended in June 2018, an increase of 8% (2017: 30.8%).
Strategy
The Group’s business model is generating revenues though relationships with mobile operators and content aggregators
and retailing directly to the consumer. Mobile Streams has developed expertise in selling content to consumers in
developing markets.
Mobile Streams has focused on three main objectives in its recent business trading: expansion into India; stabilisation
of our Latin American business primarily in Argentina; and seeking to minimise net cash outflow. Generally, we have
sought to invest the gross profits from our Argentine operations into developing the India business whilst seeking to
maintain cash balances around the current levels. Argentina revenues in the last financial year were impacted by the
slowdown in the mobile subscription business in the local market. Cash balances have fallen due to the negative
EBITDA produced in the year.

MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
STRATEGIC REPORT
In India, we formed Mobile Streams India Private Limited in October 2015 to enable Mobile Streams to sign
agreements with Indian mobile network operators (MNOs), device manufacturers (OEM) and other third parties. As
per the strategy in Latin America, the focus is very much on the recurrent revenue generating subscription service in
India, with daily and weekly packages both being trialled. Our Mobilegaming.com service was launched in February
2016 with the top three Indian mobile operators with marketing campaigns coordinated by the same team responsible
for the success we have had in the Latin America region over the past several years. Active subscribers are measured
as consumers who have made a purchase from the Company in the country in the past 60 days. For like-for-like
comparability, this is the same methodology the Group uses to measure subscribers in its other markets such as
Argentina.
Share Issue
In April 2018 the Group issued 9,159,000 shares at a value of £0.0115 per share, raising £105,328. The Group’s source
of capital is the parent company’s equity shares. The funds obtained are dedicated to fund the expansion of the India
subsidiary through the increase of the marketing initiatives. The Group has not raised debt financing in the past and
expects not to do so in the future.
The Company only has one class of share. The total number of shares in issue as at 30 June 2018 is 100,752,533 (30
June 2017: 91,593,533) with a par value of £0.002 per share. All issued shares are fully paid.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that general working capital requirement are likely
to require a further funding round within the next 12 months. The success of the previous equity funding rounds and
access to other sources of capital supports the Director’s reasonable expectation that Mobile Streams will have
sufficient resources to continue in operational existence throughout this period.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The nature of the Group's business and strategy makes it subject to a number of risks.
The Directors have set out below the principal risks facing the business.
Contracts with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)
While Mobile Streams maintains relationships with numerous MNOs in the various territories, a small number of
operators account for a high portion of the Group’s business.
Contracts with rights holders
The majority of content provided by Mobile Streams is licensed from rights holders. While Mobile Streams is not
dependent on any single rights holder for its entertainment content, termination, non-renewal or significant
renegotiation of a contract could result in lower revenue.
The Group continues to enter into new content licensing arrangements to mitigate these risks.
Competition
Competition from alternative providers could adversely affect operating results through either price pressures, or
lost custom. Products and pricing of competitors are continuously monitored to ensure the Group is able to react
quickly to changes in the market.

MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
STRATEGIC REPORT
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates
Approximately 99% of the Group’s revenue relates to operations outside the UK. The Group is therefore exposed
to foreign currency fluctuations and the financial condition of the Group may be adversely impacted by foreign
currency fluctuations. See note 24 on page 46 “Foreign currency risk”.
The Group has operations in Europe, Asia Pacific, North America and Latin America and recently in India. As a
result, it faces both translation and transaction currency risks.
Currency exposure is not currently hedged, though the Board continuously reviews its foreign currency risk
exposure and potential means of combating this risk.
Argentina economy is considered to be in hyperinflation from 1 July 2018 according IFRS guidelines. Argentina will
apply the inflation adjustment to the non-monetary items from 1 July 2018. The impact of the hyperinflationary
accounting is yet to be assessed. The impact will first be reported in the 2019 interim financial statements.
Dependencies on key executives and personnel
The success of the business is substantially dependent on the Executive Directors and senior management team.
The Group has incentivised all key and senior personnel with share options and has taken out a Key Man insurance
policy on its Chief Executive Officer, Simon Buckingham.
Intellectual property rights
The protracted and costly nature of litigation may make it difficult to take a swift or decisive action to prevent
infringement of the Group’s intellectual property rights.
Although the Directors believe that the Group’s content and technology platform and other intellectual property
rights do not infringe the IP rights of others, third-parties may assert claims of infringement which could be
expensive to defend or settle. The Group holds suitable insurance to reduce the risk and extent of financial loss.
Technology risk
A significant portion of the future revenues are dependent on the Group’s technology platforms. Instability or
interruption of availability for an extended period could have an adverse impact on the Group’s financial position.
Mobile Streams has invested in resilient hardware architecture and continues to maintain software control processes
to minimise this risk.
Management controls and reporting procedures and execution
The ability of the Group to implement its strategy in a competitive market requires effective planning and
management control systems. The Group’s future growth will depend upon its ability to expand whilst improving
exposure to operational, financial and management risk.
Going concern risk
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors acknowledge that uncertainty
exists over the ability of the Group to meet its funding requirements having incurred a net loss for the year of £1m.
The Group uses annual budgeting, forecasting and regular performance reviews to assess the longer term
profitability of the Group and make strategic and commercial changes as required ensuring cash resources are
maintained. Although there was a significant fall in revenues and a loss for the year ending 30 June 2018, the Group
actively manages its use of cash, particularly marketing and other expenditure. As part of this active management,
the Group initiated the closure of offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia during the year.

MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
STRATEGIC REPORT
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that general working capital requirement are
likely to require a further funding round within the next 12 months. The success of the previous equity funding
rounds and access to other sources of capital supports the Director’s reasonable expectation that Mobile Streams
will have sufficient resources to continue in operational existence throughout this period.
It is noted that if additional funding is not available then the Group and Company would be unlikely to be able to
continue as a going concern. These circumstances indicate the existence of a material uncertainty related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it
may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
If for any reason the Group is unable to continue as a going concern, it could have an impact on the Group’s ability to
realise assets at their recognised values, and to extinguish liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts
stated in the consolidated financial statements. The Group has fully amortised goodwill and other intangible assets.
In the past financial year in India, the focus has been very much on growing the active paying weekly subscriber base
on our download and online games services. The marketing team responsible for the success we have had in Latin
America have had to be very flexible with their investment strategy over the period as the mobile market in India is
ever evolving.
A principal responsibility of management is to manage liquidity risk, as detailed in note 24 to the financial statements.
The Group uses annual budgeting, forecasting and regular performance reviews to assess the longer term profitability
of the Group and make strategic and commercial changes as required ensuring cash resources are maintained.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group uses various financial instruments. These include cash and various items, such as trade receivables and
trade payables that arise directly from its operations. The numerical disclosures relating to these policies are set out in
the notes to the financial statements.
The existence of these financial instruments exposes the Group to a number of financial risks, which are described
in more detail below. The Group does not currently use derivative products to manage foreign currency or interest
rate risks.
The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are market risk, currency risk, liquidity risk and credit
risk. The Directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.
These policies have remained unchanged from previous periods.
Market risk
Market risk encompasses three types of risk, being currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk. In this
review interest rate and price risk have been ignored as they are not considered material risks to the business.
Liquidity risk
The Group seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs
and to invest cash assets safely and profitably.
The Group currently has no borrowing arrangements in place and prepares cash flow forecasts which are reviewed
at Board meetings to monitor liquidity.
Credit risk
The Group's principal financial assets are bank deposits, cash and trade receivables. The credit risk associated with
the bank deposits and cash is limited as the counterparties have high credit ratings assigned by international credit-
rating agencies. The principal credit risk arises therefore from the Group's trade receivables. Most of the Group’s trade
receivables are large mobile network operators or media groups. Whilst historically credit risk has been low
management continuously monitors its financial assets and performs credit checks on prospective partners.

MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
STRATEGIC REPORT
The Argentina Division delivered a decreased revenue performance according to the projections. The division
represented 76.7% of the revenues of the Group.
Argentina revenue decreased 37% in Argentine Pesos terms; from AR$92 Million to AR$58 Million; but the reported
British Pound figures shows a 50% decrease in revenue; from £4.6m to £2.3m.
Future developments
Looking ahead to the remainder of 2018 and beyond, our primary objectives are to secure mobile billing with the
leading seven or eight mobile operators in India, progressively increase marketing spend to grow the subscriber base,
enhance our content and service offer by partnering with local Indian companies and launching our browser based
(utilising HTML5) games service to become the leading destination for games in India. Mobile Streams has recently
gone live with a fourth carrier billing connection in India, extending our addressable audience to around 700 million
potential mobile users. The Indian mobile market is growing rapidly, the entrance of Reliance Jio 4G network into the
market this year and the upcoming spectrum auction means the primary obstacle of poor data connectivity is being
addressed.
The Group sees potential for browser based gaming in both Latin America and India. This HTML5 content works well
across all devices including Android, Apple, Tizen and Windows Phone. Devices in emerging markets often have
limited memory capable to store downloadable applications so browser based gaming is attractive in the region.
Browser based content is not available from Google Play and the App Store, providing differentiation from these
competing offerings.
Potential impact of Brexit
The outcome of the UK’s vote to leave the European Union and trigger article 50 is unlikely to materially impact the
Group at an operational level with almost all of the Group’s revenues derived from customers based outside of the EU.

2018. which comprise the Group accounting policies, the Consolidated income statement, the
Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated statement of financial position,
the Consolidated statement of changes in equity, the Consolidated cash flow statement and notes to
the financial statements. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation
is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the
European Union.
In our opinion, the group financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s affairs as at 30 June 2018 and of its loss for the year
then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable
law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of
the group financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical
Standard as applied to listed entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
MATERIAL UNCERTAINTY RELATING TO GOING CONCERN
We draw attention to the group accounting policies on page 19 in the financial statements, which states that
uncertainty remains over the ability of the Group to meet its funding requirements, having incurred a net loss for the
year of £1,015,000. This condition, along with the other matters as set forth on page 19, indicate that a material
uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion
is not modified in respect of this matter.
WHO WE ARE REPORTING TO
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the
Companies Act 2006. 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.

Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF MOBILE STREAMS PLC
OVERVIEW OF OUR AUDIT APPROACH
Overall materiality: £ 61,000 which represents 2% of the group's revenue;
The key audit matter identified was occurrence of revenue; and
We performed full scope audit procedures on the financial statements of
Mobile Streams plc and on the financial information of Mobile Streams de
Argentina SRL and Mobile Streams India, and a combination of targeted
procedures and analytical procedures on all other components.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
group financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material
misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) that we identified. These matters included those that had the greatest
effect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the
engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the group financial statements as a
whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have
determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.
KEY AUDIT
MATTER
Occurrence of revenue
Growth in revenue is a key
performance indicator for the
group, being a key measure of
how the group is growing its
business. The focus on increasing
revenues within the Mobile
Streams India means there is
judgement associated with the
correct recognition and allocation
of revenue across the group
components. We therefore
identified occurrence of revenue
as a significant risk, which was
one of the most significant
assessed risks of material
misstatement.
HOW THE MATTER
WAS ADDRESSED IN
THE AUDIT
Our audit work included, but was not
restricted to:
Obtaining an understanding of the group’s
process for recognising revenue as per the
stated accounting policy;
Assessing whether the group’s accounting
policy for revenue recognition is in
accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the
European Union; and
Testing a sample of revenue transactions
by agreeing them to underlying contracts,
invoices and receipt of payment, to assess
whether they were recognised in
accordance with the policy.
The group's accounting policy on
revenue recognition is shown on
page 24 and related disclosures
are included in the notes to the
financial statements 2.1 and 21.
Key observations
No issues were identified as a
result of our audit procedures over
the occurrence of revenue.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF MOBILE STREAMS PLC
OUR APPLICATION OF MATERIALITY
We define materiality as the magnitude of misstatement in the financial statements that makes it probable that the
economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person would be changed or influenced. We use materiality in
determining the nature, timing and extent of our audit work and in evaluating the results of that work.
We determined materiality for the audit of the group financial statements as a whole to be £61,000, which is 2% of
the Group’s revenue. This benchmark is considered the most appropriate because it is a key performance indicator
for the users of the group financial statements.
Materiality for the current year is higher than the level that we determined for the year ended 30 June 2017 because
we increased the percentage of Group revenue used to determine materiality from 1% to 2%.
We use a different level of materiality, performance materiality, to drive the extent of our testing and this was set at
75% of financial statement materiality for the audit of the group financial statements.
The graph below illustrates how performance materiality interacts with our overall materiality and the tolerance for
potential uncorrected misstatements.
Overall materiality
25%

Tolerance for

Performance
materiality
We also determine a lower level of specific materiality for directors' remuneration and related party transactions.
We determined the threshold at which we will communicate misstatements to the audit committee to be £3,050. In
addition, we will communicate misstatements below that threshold that, in our view, warrant reporting on qualitative
grounds.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE SCOPE OF OUR AUDIT
Our audit approach was a risk-based approach founded on a thorough understanding of the group's business, its
environment and risk profile and in particular included:
evaluation by the group audit team of identified components to assess the significance of that component and to
determine the planned audit response based on a measure of materiality. For example, significance as a
percentage of the group's total assets, revenues and profit before taxation or significance based on qualitative
factors;
the three significant components identified were Mobile Streams Plc (the parent company), Mobile Streams de
Argentina SRL and Mobile Streams India and were subject to full scope audit procedures. A combination of
either targeted procedures or analytical procedures were performed on all other components; and
performing substantive procedures on significant transactions which included journal entries, individual material
balances and disclosures, the extent of which was based on various factors such as our overall assessment of the
control environment and our evaluation of the design and implementation of controls around significant risk
areas.
OTHER INFORMATION
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial
statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we
do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF MOBILE STREAMS PLC
In connection with our audit of the group financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the group financial statements or
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material
inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material
misstatement of the group financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the
work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required
to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
OUR OPINION ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE
COMPANIES ACT 2006 IS UNMODIFIED
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the strategic report and the directors’ report for the financial year for which
the group financial statements are prepared is consistent with the group financial statements; and
the strategic report and the directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal
requirements.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT UNDER THE
COMPANIES ACT 2006
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and its environment obtained in the course of the audit,
we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY
EXCEPTION
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires
us to report to you if, in our opinion:
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS FOR THE GROUP FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 13, the directors are responsible
for the preparation of the group financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of group financial statements
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the group financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the
group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations,
or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE GROUP
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the group financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and
are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these group financial statements.

GROUP ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the parent company and all of its subsidiary undertakings drawn
up to 30 June 2018. They have been prepared in accordance with applicable International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the EU and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting
under IFRS. All references to IFRS in these statements refer to IFRS as adopted by the EU.
The historical cost convention has been applied as set out in the accounting policies.
Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the operating and financial policies generally
accompanying a shareholding of more than half of the voting rights. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date
on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date on which control is lost.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated in
full. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset
transferred. Subsidiaries' accounting policies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the
policies adopted by the Group.
The separate financial statements and related notes of the Company are presented on pages 55-62, which are prepared
in accordance with FRS 101.
Foreign currency translation
(a) Presentational currency
The consolidated and parent company financial statements are presented in British pounds. The functional currency of
the parent entity is also British pounds.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date
the transaction occurs. Any exchange gains or losses resulting from these transactions and the translation of monetary
assets and liabilities at the consolidated statement of financial position date are recognised in the consolidated income
statement, except to the extent that a monetary asset or liability represents a net investment in a subsidiary when
exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in equity within the translation reserve. Amount due from
or to subsidiaries are treated as part of net investment in the subsidiary when settlement is neither planned nor likely
to occur in the foreseeable future.
Foreign currency balances are translated at the year-end using exchange rate prevailing at the year-end.
(c) Group companies
The financial results and position of all group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation
currency of the Group are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
i
ii
assets and liabilities for each consolidated statement of financial position are translated at the closing
exchange rate at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.
income and expenses for each consolidated income statement are translated at average exchange rates
(unless it is not a reasonable approximation to the exchange rate at the date of transaction).
19
MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
GROUP ACCOUNTING POLICIES
iii
all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity (cumulative translation
reserve).
Property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment (PPE) is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the purchase of the items.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment less estimated residual value on a
straight line basis over its estimated useful life. The following rates and methods have been applied:
Plant and equipment
Office furniture
33% straight line
Between 10% and 33% straight line
Each asset's residual value and useful life is reviewed, and adjusted if required, at each consolidated statement of
financial position date. The carrying amount of an asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains/losses on disposal of assets are determined by comparing proceeds received to the carrying amount. Any
gain/loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors acknowledge that uncertainty
exists over the ability of the Group to meet its funding requirements having incurred a net loss for the year of £1m.
The Group uses annual budgeting, forecasting and regular performance reviews to assess the longer term
profitability of the Group and make strategic and commercial changes as required ensuring cash resources are
maintained. Although there was a significant fall in revenues and a loss for the year ending 30 June 2018, the Group
actively manages its use of cash, particularly marketing and other expenditure. As part of this active management,
the Group initiated the closure of offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia during the year.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that general working capital requirement are
likely to require a further funding round within the next 12 months. The success of the previous equity funding
rounds and access to other sources of capital supports the Director’s reasonable expectation that Mobile Streams
will have sufficient resources to continue in operational existence throughout this period.
It is noted that if additional funding is not available then the Group and Company would be unlikely to be able to
continue as a going concern. These circumstances indicate the existence of a material uncertainty related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore,
that it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

GROUP ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Standards and Amendments to existing standards effective 1 July 2017
There are no IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the financial year beginning on or after 1 July 2017
that have had a material impact on the group.
New standards effective for accounting periods commencing on 1 July 2017 are:
Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective and have not
been adopted early by the Group
A number of the new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning
after 1 July 2017, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which are/may
be relevant to the Group and expected to have significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group
are set out below The Group is yet to assess the full impact of these changes.
• IFRS 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and
financial liabilities. It replaces the guidance in IAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial
instruments The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 Early adoption is
permitted subject to EU endorsement.
• IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for
reporting useful information to users of financial statements. The standard replaces IAS 18 Revenue and 1AS 11
Construction contracts and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2018 and earlier application is permitted subject to EU endorsement.
The impact that IFRS 15 will have on the financial statements has begun but is yet to be completed and fully
quantified. The Group has different contractual arrangements with each of its clients which will require detailed
review in order to assess the changes the Group will need to make to its revenue recognition policies once the
standard is implemented.
• IFRS 2 Share-based payments ("SBP") provides clarification concerning the treatment of vesting and non-vesting
conditions. It also clarifies the treatment when tax laws oblige an entity to withhold an amount for an employee's tax
obligation associated with a SBP and to transfer that amount to the tax authority on the employee's behalf. Finally the
amendment provides further guidance on accounting for modifications of options. The standard is effective for
accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
The Directors do not expect that the adoption of the Standards and amendments listed above will have a material impact
on the financial statements of the Group in the future periods.
Intangible assets
(a) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of net identifiable assets of the
acquired entity at the date of acquisition. This goodwill for subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is
tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-
generating units for impairment testing.
(b) Assets acquired through business combinations
These consist of customer relationships, technology based assets and non-compete agreements acquired through
business combinations. To meet this definition, the intangibles must be identifiable either by being separable, or by
arising from contractual or other legal rights. Intangibles acquired through business combinations are recognised at
fair value. Where a reliable estimate of useful life of the intangible can be obtained, the intangible asset is to be
amortised using the straight line basis, over the useful life. Where there is an indication of impairment of intangibles,
the intangible will be tested for impairment. The estimated useful lives of these assets are:

Non-compete agreements

(c) Media content and Media platform development
Media content and Media platform development represent intangible assets that have been acquired from third parties
and also that are internally generated, including capitalised direct staff costs. Content and platform expenditure is
charged against income in the year in which it is incurred unless it meets the recognition criteria of IAS 38 Intangible
Assets. To meet the criteria of an intangible asset the Group must demonstrate the following criteria:
-
-
-
-
-
-
the technical feasibility of completing the asset so that it will be available for use,
its intention to complete the intangible (or sell it),
its ability to use or sell the intangible,
that the intangible will generate future economic benefit,
that adequate resources are available to complete the intangible, and
the expenditure can be reliably measured.
Intangible assets, if capitalised, are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the expected benefit.
Amortisation commences when the asset is ready for use.
(d) Appitalism
Appitalism development represents intangible assets that have been internally generated, including capitalised direct
staff costs. To meet the intangible asset criteria the group must demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the
asset so that it will be available for use, its intention to complete the intangible (or sell it), its ability to use or sell the
intangible, that the intangible will generate future economic benefit, adequate resources to complete the intangible and
the expenditure can be reliably measured. Intangible assets, if capitalised, are amortised on a straight line basis, and
reviewed annually for indicators of impairment.
(e) Software
Software represents assets that have been acquired from third parties. To meet the criteria for recognition the intangible
asset must be both identifiable and either separable, or arise from contractual or other legal rights. Intangible assets
acquired from third parties are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Where a reliable
estimate of useful life of the intangible can be obtained, the intangible asset is to be amortised using the straight line
basis, over the useful life. Where there is an indication of impairment of intangible assets with a definite life, the
intangible will be tested for impairment. The estimated useful life of acquired software is 2 years.
Amortisation is included in “Administrative expenses” in the consolidated income statement.
Impairment of assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, such as goodwill, are not subject to amortisation, but are instead tested
annually for impairment and also tested whenever an event or change in situation indicates that the carrying amount
may not be recoverable. Assets that are subject to amortisation are also tested for impairment whenever an event or
change in situation indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised in the
consolidated income statement as the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is determined by the higher of the fair value of an asset less costs to sell and the value in use.
In order to assess impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which separate cash flows can be identified
(cash generating units).
Impairment charges are included in the “Administrative expenses” in the consolidated income statement.
Taxation
Current tax is the tax currently payable based on taxable profit for the year.

MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
GROUP ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax base of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax is not
provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related
transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary differences
associated with shares in subsidiaries is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by
the Group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates known by the consolidated statement of financial position date and
that are expected to apply when the deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available
against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full. There is no
discounting of assets or liabilities.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of the tax expense in the consolidated
income statement, except where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to equity or other
comprehensive income, in which case the related deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity or other
comprehensive income.
Provisions
Provisions, including those for legal claims, are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive
obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligation at the consolidated statement of financial position date. The discount rate used to determine the
present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Financial Assets
a) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits held with financial institutions and other short-
term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.
b) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the consolidated statement of financial position. Trade
receivables are recognised initially at fair value and later measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method,
less any provision for impairment. An impairment provision for trade receivables is established when there is objective
evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the receivables. The
provision is calculated as the difference between the receivable's carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is
recognised in the consolidated income statement. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited
in the consolidated income statement.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are obligations to pay cash or deliver other financial assets and are recognised when the Group
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial liabilities are recorded initially at fair
value, net of direct issue costs.
A financial liability is derecognised only when the obligation is extinguished, that is, when the obligation is
discharged or cancelled or expires.
23
MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
GROUP ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Group's financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables, which are measured subsequent to initial
recognition at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
All interest-related charges are reported in the consolidated income statement as finance costs.
Revenue recognition
As at 30 June 2018, the Group was organised into four geographical segments: Europe, North America, Latin America,
and Asia Pacific. Revenues are from external customers only and are generated from three principal business activities:
the sale of mobile content through Mobile Operator Services (Mobile Operator Sales), the sale of mobile content over
the internet (Mobile Internet Sales) and the provision of consulting and technical services (Other Service Fees).
Revenue includes the fair value of sale of goods and services, net of value added tax, rebates and discounts and after
eliminating intercompany sales within the Group. Revenue is recognised as follows:
a) Mobile Operator Sales & Mobile Internet Sales
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when a Group entity has delivered media content to the end consumer,
who has accepted the product and collectability of the related receivable is reasonably assured from the customer.
b) Other Service Fees
Revenue is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to the stage of
completion of the specific transaction, on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services
to be provided.
c) Interest Income
Interest receivable is recognised in the consolidated income statement using the effective interest method. If the
collection of interest is considered doubtful, it is deferred and excluded from interest income in the consolidated income
statement.
d) Deferred Income
Revenue that has been collected from customers but where the above conditions are not met is recorded in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position under accruals and deferred income and released to the Consolidated
income statement when the conditions are met.
Share based payments
Employees (including Directors) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions,
whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’).
The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based Payments to all grants of equity instruments.
The cost of equity settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the grant date of
the equity instruments granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes model.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised in the consolidated income statement, together with a
corresponding increase in retained earnings, over the periods in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending
on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). At each consolidated
statement of financial position date before vesting the cumulative expense is calculated, representing the extent to
which the vesting period has expired and management’s best estimate of the achievement or otherwise of non-market
conditions and of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market conditions are taken into account
in determining the fair value of the options granted, at grant date, and are subsequently not adjusted for. The movement
in cumulative expense since the previous consolidated statement of financial position date is recognised in the
consolidated income statement, with a corresponding entry in equity.
24
MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
GROUP ACCOUNTING POLICIES
No expense or increase in equity is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest. Awards where vesting is
conditional upon a market condition are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market condition is
satisfied, provided that all other performance conditions are satisfied.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options
are charged to the share premium account.
Leased assets
In accordance with IAS 17, all the Group’s leases are determined to be operating leases and the payments made under
them are charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives
are spread over the term of the lease.
Operating leases are leases in which the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the lessee.
Equity balances
a) Called up share capital
Called up share capital represents the aggregate nominal value of ordinary shares in issue.
b) Share premium
The share premium account represents the incremental paid up capital above the nominal value of ordinary shares
issued.
c) Translation Reserve
The translation reserve represents the cumulative translation adjustments on translation of foreign operations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Mobile Streams Plc (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together 'the Group') sell digital content, primarily for
distribution on wireless devices. The Group has subsidiaries in Europe, Asia, North America and Latin America. The
Group has made various strategic acquisitions to build its market share in these regions.
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The address of its
registered office is 14 Cleveland Grove, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14 1XF
The Company is listed on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market.
These consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 8 November 2018.
2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are evaluated on a regular basis and are based on historical experience and other factors,
such as expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
2.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, JUDGEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. These estimates, by definition, will rarely equal
the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment
to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Estimates
(a) Accrued revenue and accrued content costs
Estimation is required by management to determine the value of accrued revenue and accrued content cost liability
which is based on the content delivery to its customers. Due to the timing of confirmation of delivery of content to its
customers from the service providers, management estimation is applied to determine the level of accrued revenue and
accrued content liability to be recognised within the financial statements until confirmation is received.
Judgement
(b) Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Judgement is required in determining the worldwide
provision for income taxes. There are many transactions/calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is
uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome is different to what is initially recorded,
such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions.
(c) Deferred taxation
Judgement is required by management in determining whether the Group should recognise a deferred tax asset.
Management consider whether there is sufficient certainty its tax losses available to carry forward will ultimately be
offset against future earnings, this judgement impacts on the degree to which deferred tax assets are recognised. The
deferred tax credit is produced by the Argentina subsidiary, which has been profitable and paid income tax return along
the years.

The majority of the deferred tax asset credit was produced from unpaid intercompany balances in Argentina. This
temporary difference is expected to be reversed once the balances are repaid. No deferred tax asset has been recognised
in respect of surplus tax losses available for carry forward due to uncertainty over the timing of future taxable profits.
18. SHARE CAPITAL
The Company only has one class of share. The total number of shares in issue as at 30 June 2018 is 100,752,533 (30
June 2017: 91,593,533) with a par value of £0.002 per share. All issued shares are fully paid.
The Group’s main source of capital is the parent company’s equity shares. The policy which is met by the Group is to
retain sufficient authorised share capital so as to be able to issue further shares to fund acquisitions, settle share based
transactions and raise new funds. Share based payments relate to employee share options schemes. The schemes have
restrictions on headroom so as not to dilute the value of issued shares of the Company. The Group has not raised debt
financing in the past and expects not to do so in the future.
Allotted, called up and fully paid
Other Reserves
Share Premium Account
The balance in the share premium account represents the proceeds received above the nominal value on the issue of
the Company's equity share capital.
Translation Reserve
The Translation reserve contains the exchange differences arising on translating foreign operations.
19. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
The Group operates three share option incentive plans – an Enterprise Management Incentive Scheme, a Global Share
Option Plan and an ISO Sub Plan - in order to attract and retain key staff. The remuneration committee can grant
options over shares in the Company to employees of the Group. Options are granted with a fixed exercise price equal
to the market price of the shares under option at the date of grant and are equity settled, the contractual life of an option

is 10 years. Exercise of an option is subject to continued employment. Options are valued at date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The volatility of the Company's share price on the date of grant was calculated as the average of volatilities of share
prices of companies in the Peer Group on the corresponding date. The volatility of share price of each company in the
Peer Group was calculated as the average of annualised standard deviations of daily continuously compounded returns
on the Company's stock, calculated over 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years back from the date of grant, where applicable. The risk-
free rate is the yield to maturity on the date of grant of a UK Gilt Strip, with term to maturity equal to the life of the
option. The expected life of an employee share option is 5 years.
The calculation model includes these variables:
Expected volatility: 86.7%
Expected dividends: 0 (Nil)
Risk free interest rate: 1.99%
Share options in issue at the year-end under the various schemes are:

No share options were exercised during the year ended on 30 June 2018. (2017: Nil).
The total charge for the year relating to employee share based payment plans was £5k (2017: £118k), all of which
related to equity-settled share based payment transactions.

24. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group is exposed to currency and liquidity risk, which result from both its operating and investing activities. The
Group's risk management is coordinated in close co-operation with the Board and focuses on actively securing the
Group's short to medium term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets. The most significant
financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below. Also refer to the accounting policies.
Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to transaction foreign exchange risk. The currencies where the Group is most exposed to
volatility are US Dollars, Argentine Peso, Mexican Peso, Indian Rupee and Colombian Peso.
Currently, there is generally an alignment of assets and liabilities in a particular market and no hedging instruments
are used. In Latin American markets cash in excess of working capital is converted into a hard currency such as
US Dollars, except in Argentina, where domestic regulations prevented companies from acquiring US Dollars until
December 2015. Given this situation, the Argentine subsidiary is considering other alternatives to hedge a possible

apply the inflation adjustment to the non-monetary items since July 1st 2018. The impact of the hyperinflationary
accounting is yet to be assessed by management. The impact will first be reported in the 2019 interim financial
statements.

Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
Independent auditor’s report to the members of Mobile Streams PLC
Opinion
OUR OPINION ON THE PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS IS UNMODIFIED
We have audited the parent company financial statements of Mobile Streams PLC for the year ended
30 June 2018, which comprise the Company accounting policies, the Company Statement of
Financial Position, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity and notes to the financial
statements. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable
law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 101
‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the parent company financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the parent company’s affairs as at 30 June 2018;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs
(UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the parent company financial statements’ section of our report. We are independent of
the parent company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the parent company
financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to listed entities, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
MATERIAL UNCERTAINTY RELATING TO GOING CONCERN
We draw attention to the company accounting policies on page 55 in the financial statements, which states that
uncertainty remains over the ability of the parent company to meet its funding requirements, having incurred a net
loss for the year of £3,977,000. This condition, along with the other matters as set forth on page 55 indicate that a
material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the parent company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Who we are reporting to
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the
Companies Act 2006. 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.

MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
OVERVIEW OF OUR AUDIT APPROACH
Overall materiality: £17,000, which represents 1% of the company's net
assets;
Key audit matters were identified as described in the ‘Key audit matters’
section below; and
Our audit approach was a risk-based approach founded on a thorough
understanding of the company's business, its environment and risk profile.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
parent company financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material
misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) that we identified. These matters included those that had the greatest
effect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the
engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these
matters.
Except for the matter described in the ‘Material uncertainty related to going concern’ section, we
identified no other key audit matters in relation to the audit of the parent company financial statements.
OUR APPLICATION OF MATERIALITY
We define materiality as the magnitude of misstatement in the financial statements that makes it probable that the
economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person would be changed or influenced. We use materiality in
determining the nature, timing and extent of our work and in evaluating the results of that work.
We determined materiality for the audit of the parent company financial statements as a whole to be £17,000, which
is 1% of the parent company’s net assets. This benchmark is considered to be the most appropriate because the
company is a holding company and as such its primary purpose is to hold investments in subsidiaries for the group,
for which net assets is a key indicator of performance.
Materiality for the current year is lower than the level that we determined for the year ended 30 June 2017 to reflect
the lower net assets of the company.
We use a different level of materiality, performance materiality, to drive the extent of our testing and this was set at
75% of financial statement materiality.
The graph below illustrates how performance materiality interacts with our overall materiality and the tolerance for
potential uncorrected misstatements.

MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
We also determine a lower level of specific materiality for, for example, directors' remuneration and related party
transactions.
We determined the threshold at which we will communicate misstatements to the audit committee to be £1,000. In
addition, we will communicate misstatements below that threshold that, in our view, warrant reporting on qualitative
grounds.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE SCOPE OF OUR AUDIT
Our audit approach was a risk-based approach founded on a thorough understanding of the company's business, its
environment and risk profile, and in particular included performing substantive procedures on significant transactions
which included journal entries, individual material balances and disclosures, the extent of which was based on
various factors such as our overall assessment of the control environment and our evaluation of the design and
implementation of controls around significant risk areas.
OTHER INFORMATION
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our
opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly
stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the parent company financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the parent
company financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether
there is a material misstatement of the parent company financial statements or a material misstatement of the other
information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
OUR OPINION ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE
COMPANIES ACT 2006 IS UNMODIFIED
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the strategic report and the directors’ report for the financial year for which
the parent company financial statements are prepared is consistent with the parent company financial
statements; and
the strategic report and the directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal
requirements.
MATTER ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT UNDER THE
COMPANIES ACT 2006
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the parent company and its environment obtained in the
course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’
report.
52
MOBILE STREAMS PLC
Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY
EXCEPTION
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires
us to report to you if, in our opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit
have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS FOR THE PARENT COMPANY
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 13, the directors are responsible
for the preparation of the parent company financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair
view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of parent
company financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the parent
company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the parent company or to
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE PARENT
COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the parent company financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our
auditor’s report.

COMPANY ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and in accordance
with Financial Reporting Standard 101 – “Reduced Disclosure Framework” (FRS 101) The principal accounting
policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have all been applied
consistently throughout the year unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The financial statements are presented in Sterling
(£) and have been presented in round thousands (£’000).
In preparing these financial statements the Company has taken advantage of all disclosure exemptions conferred by
FRS 101. Therefore these financial statements do not include:
1. A statement of cash flows and related notes
2. The requirements of IAS 24 related party disclosures to disclose related party transactions entered in to
between two or more members of the group as they are wholly owned within the group.
3. The effect of future accounting standards not adopted.
4. Certain share based payment disclosures.
5. Disclosures in relation to impairment of assets.
6. Disclosures in respect of financial instruments (other than disclosures required as a result of recording
financial instruments at fair value).
Additionally, the consolidated Group prepares accounts under IFRS which should be read in conjunction with these
statements.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The principal accounting policies are set out
below. The company has applied the exemption under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not included
the individual profit and loss account statement in the financial statements.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors acknowledge that uncertainty
exists over the ability of the Company to meet its funding requirements having incurred a net loss for the year of
£3.98m.
The Group uses annual budgeting, forecasting and regular performance reviews to assess the longer term
profitability of the Group and make strategic and commercial changes as required ensuring cash resources are
maintained. Although there was a significant fall in revenues and a loss for the year ending 30 June 2018, the Group
actively manages its use of cash, particularly marketing and other expenditure. As part of this active management,
the Group initiated the closure of offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that general working capital requirement are
likely to require a further funding round within the next 12 months. The success of the previous equity funding
rounds and access to other sources of capital supports the Director’s reasonable expectation that Mobile Streams
will have sufficient resources to continue in operational existence throughout this period.
It is noted that if additional funding is not available then the Group and Company would be unlikely to be able to
continue as a going concern. These circumstances indicate the existence of a material uncertainty related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore,
that it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

COMPANY ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES
Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position at cost less
provisions for impairment.
DEFERRED TAXATION
Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences where the transactions or events that give the company an
obligation to pay more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future, have occurred by the company
statement of financial position date. Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is more likely than not that they will
be recovered.
Deferred tax is measured using rates of tax that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the company
statement of financial position date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the company statement of
financial position date. All exchange differences are dealt with through the profit and loss account.
OPERATING LEASES
Rentals in respect of leases are charged to the profit and loss account in equal amounts over the lease term.
SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
Employees (including Directors) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions,
whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’).
Equity settled transactions
The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 “Share Based Payments” to all grants of equity instruments.
The cost of equity settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the grant date of
the equity instruments granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes model.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in retained earnings, over
the periods in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees
become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). At each company statement of financial position date before vesting,
the cumulative expense is calculated, representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management’s
best estimate of the achievement or otherwise of non-market conditions and of the number of equity instruments that
will ultimately vest. Market conditions are taken into account in determining the fair value of options granted, at grant
date, and are not subsequently adjusted for. The movement in cumulative expense since the previous company
statement of financial position date is recognised in the company income statement, with a corresponding entry in
equity.
No expense or increase in equity is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest. Awards where vesting is
conditional upon a market condition are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market condition is
satisfied, provided that all other performance conditions are satisfied.

COMPANY ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial Assets
a) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits held with financial institutions and other short-
term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.
b) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the company statement of financial position. Trade
receivables are recognised initially at fair value and later measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method,
less any provision for impairment. An impairment provision for trade receivables is established when there is objective
evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the receivables. The
provision is calculated as the difference between the receivable's carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is
recognised in the company income statement. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited in
the company income statement.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are obligations to pay cash or deliver other financial assets and are recognised when the company
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial liabilities are recorded initially at fair
value, net of direct issue costs.
A financial liability is derecognised only when the obligation is extinguished, that is, when the obligation is
discharged or cancelled or expires.
The company’s financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables, which are measured subsequent to initial
recognition at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
All interest-related charges are reported in the consolidated income statement as finance costs.
COMPANY PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT
The parent Company has taken advantage of Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not included its own
profit and loss account in these financial statements. The parent Company’s recognized loss for the year ended 30 June
2018 was £3,977,000.
