This includes £ 0.6m of operating profit (before amortisation) arising on the consolidation for the last 5 months of the year of our newly acquired subsidiary, 21st Century Crime Prevention Services Limited ('21st Century'). 21st Century supplies and installs CCTV equipment for use on public transport vehicles. In addition in the period after we made our initial investment but before we took a controlling stake we provided a range of services to 21st Century to support expansion of its activities for which we charged 21st Century £500,000. This brought the total contribution from 21st Century to group pre-amortisation operating profit for the year to £1.1m. In the prior year, the sale of certain distribution rights to 21st Century contributed £0.8m to group profit. Group net profit (attributable to the members of the parent company) is up 63% at £1.3m (2004: £0.8m) and basic Earnings Per Share is up 68% at 1.63p (2004: 0.97p). The closing share price at 31 December 2005 was 13p (2004: 13.75p) giving a p/e ratio for TG21 plc of just 8.0 (2004: 14.2) at that date. Public transport CCTV During the year we increased our investment in 21st Century to 75% having acquired an initial 25% in 2004. The total cost of this investment to date is £ 4.9m including professional fees and we have an option to acquire the remaining 25% for £2.1m. From the start of the year we geared up our engineering resource within the group to service the installation needs of 21st Century. As described above we recovered these costs by way of a £0.5m charge to 21st Century in respect of services provided. Given the contribution to group profit from 21st Century we waived our preference share dividend entitlement of £0.5m due from 21st Century for 2005 although a dividend entitlement remains for future years. In my last interim statement I also announced that 21st Century had won business worth £1.5m for the installation of CCTV and related systems at a regional bus depot. Much of the work in this region was delayed by the customer until the Spring of 2006 and so we can look forward to the contribution from this project in the current year. Our key targets for 21st Century are to build upon their existing customer relationships, develop value added products to compliment the security CCTV solutions they offer and to win new customers in the public transport market. Our prospects in this regard are significantly improved following the recent appointment of a Director of Sales for 21st Century who has been recruited from the UK's leading supplier of public transport ticketing machines. Mobile `phone hands-free installations Turnover from the installation of mobile `phone hands-free kits was up to £4.9m (2004 excluding sale of distribution rights: £4.4m) for the year. We are now undertaking around 3,000 of these installations a month for Unipart who manage the installation logistics on behalf of Vodafone. Insurance replacement of stolen in-car entertainment systems Car audio insurance replacement turnover was down £1.6m in line with expectations at £7.1m (2004: £8.7m) but our relationships with a number of insurance companies has the potential to yield another installation income stream through a new initiative known as Pay As You Drive (PAYD) . Under the PAYD scheme the motor insurance policy holders benefit from a reduced premium in return for having a black-box device fitted to their vehicles which is capable of recording journey information. Our involvement is as an installation contractor acting for the insurance companies. This new initiative, if adopted widely in the car insurance market, could make a significant and increasing contribution to our 2006 and future year results. Car and motorcycle security and accessory products Within our Distribution Division, sales of portable satellite navigation systems have compensated for the anticipated decline in the car security market. However the margins in this high volume business are much tighter and this has had an impact on the gross profit in this sector. Datatool, our motorcycle security and accessory business, has recently been awarded distribution rights for a number of exciting products and we anticipate growth from these in the current year. Finance Cash flow remains strong. We increased our long term loans by £2.5m to help finance the acquisition of 21st Century. However, through efficient working capital management net debt at the year end was up by only £0.1m to stand at £ 3.8m (2004: £3.7m). Dividend policy To date the company has not been in a position to pay dividends because of the level of bank debt in the business and the losses of the company accumulated in its formative years. In the last four years the group has generated a retained profit of £3.5m and £13.4m in cash from operating activities. The group has also reduced net debt from £8.5m to £3.8m in that period. If we are able to maintain our cash generation and can successfully exploit our growth opportunities, it is the Board's intention to review the company's dividend policy during 2006. To this end a Resolution will be put forward for consideration by shareholders at our next AGM to enable the company to offset its share premium against its prior year accumulated losses so that future profit is available for distribution by way of dividend. Move to AIM The company's ordinary shares were moved across from the Official List of the United Kingdom Listing Authority (the 'Official List') to the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ('AIM') on 15 April 2005. As an AIM company, the company continues to be subject to the regulatory and disciplinary controls of the London Stock Exchange. The board believes that AIM, with its lower cost of complying with continuing obligations, is a more appropriate market for the company given its size and shareholder base. Strategy and current trading During 2005 we positioned the business to focus more efficiently and effectively on the high growth sectors in the group. Our investment in 21st Century has yielded an excellent return and has made a significant contribution to group results in 2005. We are looking to consolidate our position in the current year which to date is in line with expectations and develop the opportunities for growth into 2007. Staff Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff for their hard work over the last year. Without their contribution the good performance this year could not have been achieved. Peter Ward Chairman 14 March 2006 Operating Review The TG21 plc group of companies now operates in three divisions: •Public transport CCTV •Services - Technical - Insurance •Distribution Public transport CCTV Principal activities: The supply and installation of CCTV systems for public transport vehicles. Major customers include Arriva UK Bus, Alexander Dennis, Volvo and Scania Buses. Full year sales in our newly acquired subsidiary, 21st Century, were £4.3m of which £1.9m (2004: nil) has been included in our consolidated turnover from the date of the acquisition of our majority stake. The company has now undertaken 3,000 installations of CCTV systems in the UK and is expecting to undertake at least another 1,000 installations in the current year. The company also has several pipeline products which will run through the same gateway as the CCTV system and which could potentially save millions of pounds for major bus operators. We are using these value added products in our marketing drive for new customers to build on the solid platform that this company has established with its existing customers. Services Principal activities: 1) Technical Services - The supply and installation of hands-free mobile `phone kits to corporate fleets. The major customer is Vodafone whose installation logistics are managed by Unipart Logistics Limited ('Unipart'). 2) Insurance Services - Insurance replacement and installation of stolen in-car entertainment and satellite navigation systems. Most of the leading insurance companies are among this division's customers and they include Norwich Union and the Royal Bank of Scotland Group. Technical Services turnover excluding the sale of distribution rights last year was up by 11% at £4.9m (2004 sales excluding sale of distribution rights: £ 4.4m). Most of this income comes from our contract with Unipart to undertake hands-free `phone kit installations into corporate fleet customers of Vodafone. During the year we were consistently ranked highly against our KPIs and as a consequence were awarded the installation business for several new customers. Monthly sales of hands-free installations have increased steadily from approximately £0.2m in January 2004 to £0.4m in December 2005. The car audio insurance replacement market continues to mature and as a consequence Insurance Services turnover at £7.1m was 18% down on the previous year (2004 sales: £8.7m). We have maintained excellent working relationships with our insurance company clients to increase penetration in this market. Moreover, we believe that these relationships can generate other sources of income for vehicle installation work. A number of insurance companies have been looking at launching Pay As You Drive (PAYD) type motor insurance schemes. PAYD is a relatively new concept in the motor insurance industry and we are looking to be a 'black-box' installation contractor for the insurance companies offering these schemes. We are currently running trials with several insurance companies who are planning to implement PAYD schemes in 2006. This represents a great opportunity for us to build on our excellent reputation with the insurers for quality installation and call centre services. The Services division incorporates our engineering workforce which has provided supporting services to 21st Century. On 31 July 2005 the Services division charged £0.5m to 21st Century for the provision of its services up to that date. There was no such charge in 2004 but in that year Services sales included £0.8m in respect of the sale of certain distribution rights to 21st Century. Distribution Principal activities: The distribution of in-car entertainment systems, satnav/ communication equipment, speed camera alerts, audio leads and own brand automotive and motorcycle alarms to the retail trade and original equipment manufacturers. Major customers include Argos, Subaru, Triumph Motorcycles and Woolworths. Distribution turnover increased to £21.9m (2004: sales £20.7m). Sales of portable satellite navigation systems have made a major contribution to this growth and have compensated at the turnover line for the continued decline in the car security market. We have extended the product range within Datatool and have recently been awarded distribution rights within the UK motorcycle market for Tracker, TomTom navigation, the Inforad speed camera location device and the Text Alert security product. Operating expenses Group operating expenses excluding amortisation and impairment of intangibles at £12.2m are in line with the previous year despite the fact that the 2005 operating expenses include £0.3m of overheads from the results of 21st Century. Amortisation and impairment of intangibles for 2005 is £0.4m, down from £0.7m in 2004. The 2004 charge included a one-off £0.4m provision for impairment (2005: Nil). Working capital and net debt Net cash inflow from operations was £4.1m (2004: £3.0m) up £1.1m on the prior year. We spent £3.1m including professional fees to acquire a further 50% of 21st Century (2004: initial 25% stake cost of £1.8m) bringing our holding to 75%. At the date of the acquisition of our controlling stake, 21st Century had £0.3m of cash at bank. Net long term borrowing was increased by £2.5m to part finance the acquisition (2004: repayment of £1.0m), we paid £0.5m (2004: £0.5m) in interest and finance costs and invested £0.7m (2004: £0.5m) in fixed assets during the year. The resultant year end net debt has increased slightly on last year to stand at £3.8m (2004: £3.7m).

The preference shares and ordinary shares rank pari-passu in all in all respects except in terms of entitlement to dividends. The preference shares yield an annual dividend entitlement of at least £ 500,000. The 2005 dividend entitlement was waived by the preference share holders. A charge of £500,000 for provision of services was made from the company to 21st Century for the 7 months to 31 July 2005. The company has an option to acquire the remaining 25% of 21st Century for £ 2.1m in cash. Should the company not exercise this option by 18 December 2006, the minority shareholder in 21st Century has the option to buy back the 75% interest currently held by the company. From the date of the initial acquisition on 18 December to 31 July 2005 the acquisition contributed a net loss of £23,500 to the group's results. In its last published accounts for the 7 months ended 31 December 2004, 21st Century Crime Prevention Services Limited made a loss after exceptional costs of £ 850,000 of £574,000. For the period since that date to the date that the controlling stake was acquired on 31 July 2005, 21st Century Crime Prevention Services management accounts show: £'000 Turnover 2,365 Operating profit before charges from 463 TG21 plc for provision of services Operating loss after charges from (37) TG21 plc for provision of services Loss before taxation (37) Taxation 11 --------- Net loss after tax (26) --------- In summary, the analysis of net assets acquired and the fair value to the Group (at the date of taking the controlling interest at 1 August) is as follows: Book and fair TG21 plc Fair value to value of net Group Share Group assets (75%) £'000 £'000 £'000 Tangible fixed assets 24 18 18 Stocks 394 296 296 Debtors 1,507 1,130 1,130 Cash 319 239 239 Creditors: falling due within one (1,849) (1,387) (1,387) year --------- --------- --------- Net assets 395 296 296 Consideration: Cash 4,647 Acquisition costs 277 --------- Total consideration 4,924 --------- Goodwill 4,628 --------- The fair value of the net assets acquired are provisional. 5.
