Overview
Adamind announces its maiden full year results since admission to AIM with a
strong operating performance that consolidated its position as the world's
leading provider of media adaptation software for multimedia messaging ("MMS")
and mobile content.
The total number of networks that have deployed Adamind's software increased to
more than 100 during 2005 compared with over 80 at the time of the flotation in
February 2005. This was achieved by increasing direct sales to major operators
and by working closely with our strategic partners including Ericsson,
LogicaCMG, Motorola and Openwave.
The Company benefited from the growing popularity of MMS and rich mobile content
with end users and the introduction of new multimedia services by operators
worldwide, particularly in Asia and North America. Adamind's software sits at
the heart of a mobile network and adapts multimedia content such as picture
messages, ringtones and video-clips so that these can be experienced without
glitch across any network and mobile handset. As a result, the Company's
software plays a critical function in a large and rapidly expanding market for
mobile content. According to industry estimates the messaging market alone is
expected to grow three-fold to nearly $30bn between 2005 and 2009 (Global Mobile
Data Applications Forecast, Yankee Group, Dec 2005). Over the same period, the
potential market for mobile content services is expected to be even bigger at
about $60bn.
Operating review

* Adamind was formed in November 2004 from the merger of the transcoding
business units of Royal Philips Electronics and Emblaze Ltd; Philips MP4NET
and Emblaze Transcoding. These are the combined financial information of the
two businesses in 2004 as if the business combination had occurred on
January 1, 2004.
The increase in revenues reflects a greater number new operator customers
planning the launch of MMS and content services. In addition, the Company
benefited from capacity upgrades purchased by existing operator customers to
handle rising MMS traffic requiring Adamind's media adaptation technology.
License sales to new customers contributed 65% of total revenues while capacity
upgrades and maintenance fees from existing customers accounted for the
remainder. In March 2005, Adamind's media adaptation platform was deployed at
Verizon Wireless, one of the two largest North American mobile phone companies
with approximately 50 million subscriber base. Since then the volume of mobile
data handled by Adamind's software in the US market has continued to grow
steadily as Verizon Wireless, together with other mobile content providers roll
out new services, applications and advanced new handsets to increasingly
receptive end-users.
Direct sales
Direct sales to operators rose strongly during the year after the Company
increased its sales and marketing spending to $3.1m last year (2004:$1.6m).
Direct sales accounted for 25% of total revenues last year compared with less
than 10% in 2004. Major direct wins and up-sell included several prominent
regional mobile network operators including Smart Communications in Philippines
and Wind in Italy. The Company's success with Smart was particularly noteworthy
as the Philippines holds the world's No1 position for achieving the highest
proportion of average revenues per user from data services at 40%.
Since the year-end, Adamind has also made a major breakthrough with the direct
sale of its content production software to Universal Music Mobile US, a
subsidiary of Universal Music Group, the world's largest music company. The
Company is currently in talks with several other global content owners regarding
its content production software.
Targeting high growth markets
The Company expects to build on its success in the US, Western Europe and SE
Asia markets. Some of the top carriers in the US will be selecting their next
generation media adaptation partner for content and MMS this year. In SE Asia,
the company expects to make significant capacity upgrade sales this year. In
Europe, there will be similar capacity upgrade sales and some new operator
replacement deployments.
The Company is making solid progress in penetrating some of the world's fastest
growing emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China. These countries
collectively account for much of the world's population, and the fastest growing
mobile subscriber base.
During 2006, Adamind expects to announce significant commercial breakthroughs in
each of these markets. Last month the Company announced the acquisition of
SenseStream, which provides a bridgehead into mainland China, Hong Kong and
Taiwanese markets. SenseStream has key relationships with some of the
territories biggest mobile operators and network equipment makers.
Financial results
Revenues increased by 100% to $6.2m compared with $3.1m in the corresponding
pro-forma period in 2004. The increase reflects a greater number of new licence
fees and capacity upgrades purchased by network operators worldwide.
Revenues were broadly similar in the second half at $3.0m compared with the
first half due to a number of new agreements expected to be concluded before
the end of the year being formally concluded in early January 2006.
Operating loss reduced by 29% to $2.7m (Combined Pro-forma 2004: $3.8m)
reflecting the growth in revenues and a tight control over operational
expenditure.
Net loss amounted to $1.3m after taking into account financial income of $1.38m
reflecting interest income from cash and marketable securities. The Company also
benefited from a $0.6m one-off currency gain in the first half of 2005.
Gross margin was maintained at 90%.
Net cash balances amounted to $28.2m reflecting $25.5m proceeds from the placing
on admission to AIM in February 2005. Cash from operations for the full year was
neutral.
Trading Outlook
Adamind continues to enjoy strong demand for its world-class mobile content
software by major operators worldwide. The recent acquisition of SenseStream in
China and the move into the mobile content production arena with the signing of
a three-year contract with Universal has also provided a strong foundation for
2006.
Since the start of the New Year our pipeline of new orders has expanded
significantly, putting Adamind on track to achieve profitability and strong
growth for the year as a whole.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share data
NOTE 1:- GENERAL
a. Background:
On 17 September 2004, Emblaze Ltd. ("Emblaze"(, a company organized under the
laws of the State of Israel and traded on the London Stock Exchange, entered
into an agreement ("the Agreement") with DommelRiver Israel Ltd., Philips
Digital Networks B.V. ("PDN") and Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.
("Philips") (all of the aforementioned Philips companies - "Philips Parties")
to transfer their respective media adaptation business to a new Israeli-based
company, Adamind Ltd. ("Adamind Ltd." or "the Company"). Emblaze agreed to
contribute the Emblaze media adaptation business ("Emblaze Media Adaptation
Business") and operations in consideration for the issuance of Ordinary shares
of Adamind Ltd., and the Philips Parties agreed to contribute the MP4Net media
adaptation business ("Philips MP4Net media adaptation business") to Adamind Ltd.
in consideration for the issuance of Ordinary shares of Adamind Ltd. and other
consideration paid by Emblaze, all as set forth in the Agreement. In addition,
Emblaze agreed to make an equity investment of $ 2,000 in Adamind Ltd. in
consideration for the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred shares of
Adamind Ltd., as set forth in the Agreement (see c. and d. below).
In 2004, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the U.S. ("Adamind
Inc."), which is primarily engaged in marketing, sales provision of professional
services and certain general and administrative functions associated with the
Company's activities.
In February 2005, the Company completed an Initial Public Offering ("IPO") on
the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") under the symbol
"ADA". The Company issued 11,363,636 Ordinary shares to institutional and other
investors at a price of 1.32 GBP per share, raising approximately $ 28,000
before issuance expenses of approximately $ 2,900.
b. The Company is a pure play provider of rich media content adaptation and
content enhancement software solutions for the mobile messaging, content and
convergence markets. The Company's flagship platform, Adamind SpireTM, provides
automated solutions for content adaptation and enhancement and aims to benefit
virtually every player in the mobile delivery chain. Its multimedia capabilities
enable service operators and content providers to deploy media rich content
applications and services across a wide range of disparate types of consumer
devices.
c. Pursuant to the Agreement, on 7 November 2004, Emblaze transferred to the
Company assets, including intellectual property, and liabilities related to the
media adaptation business with a net carrying value in the accounts of Emblaze
of $610 in consideration for the issuance of 12,000,000 Ordinary shares. In
addition, Emblaze transferred to the Company $ 2,000 in cash as an equity
investment in consideration of 4,800,000 Series A Convertible Preferred shares.
The identification of the assets and liabilities transferred ("the transferred
net assets") was agreed upon between Emblaze and Philips Parties pursuant to the
Agreement and related documents entered into by and between the Company, Emblaze
and Philips Parties.
d. Business combination:
Pursuant to the Agreement, on 7 November 2004, the Philips Parties agreed to
contribute the Philips MP4Net media adaptation business to the Company in
consideration for the issuance of Ordinary shares of the Company and other
consideration paid by Emblaze.
The transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting,
under which the Company is considered as the acquirer of the Philips MP4Net
media adaptation business from Philips. Accordingly, the results of operations
of Philips MP4Net media adaptation business were included in the consolidated
statements of operations of the Company, commencing 7 November 2004.
The estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed as of 7 November 2004 are as follows:
Current assets $ 262

See Note 13 for unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for 2004.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary have
been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS"). The significant accounting policies applied in the financial
statements, on a consistent basis, are as follows:
a. Functional and presentation currency:
Substantially all of the Company's sales are made outside Israel in non Israeli
currencies, mainly the U.S. dollar. A substantial portion of the Company's
expenses, mainly selling and marketing expenses is incurred in or linked to U.S.
dollars. The funds of the Company are held in U.S. dollars. Therefore, the
Company's management has determined that the U.S. dollar is the currency of the
primary economic environment of the Company, and thus its functional and
presentation currency.
b. Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon
consolidation.
c. Cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments originally purchased with
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
d. Investments in financial assets:
Certain investments in financial assets in the scope of IAS 39, "Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" are classified as either at
held-to-maturity investments or available-for-sale financial assets, as
appropriate. These financial assets are recognized initially at fair value. The
Company determines the classification of its financial assets after initial
recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at
balance sheet date.
Held-to-maturity investments
Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the
positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are stated at amortized
cost. The amortized cost of held-to-maturity securities is adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such
amortization and interest are included in financial income. Losses due to
impairment are recognized in the statement of operations when there is
subjective evidence that an impairment has been incurred. As of 31 December
2005, no impairment has been identified.
Available-for-sale financial assets
After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at
fair value with gains or losses being recognized as a separate component of
shareholders' equity until the investment is derecognized or until the
investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or
loss previously reported in shareholders' equity is included in the consolidated
statement of operations. As of 31 December 2005, no impairment has been
identified.
The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organized financial
markets is determined by reference to quoted market prices at the close of
business on the balance sheet date.
e. Trade receivables:
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at original invoice amount, less an
allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made
when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect
the full amount. Bad debts are written-off when identified by management. As of
31 December 2005 and 2004, no allowance for doubtful debts was recorded.
f. Equipment:
Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets at the following annual rates:
%
------------
Computers and peripheral equipment 25 - 33
Office furniture and equipment 7 - 15
The carrying value of the equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. As of 31 December 2005 and 2004, no impairment losses have been
identified.
g. Intangible assets:
The cost of intangible assets acquired on acquisition is fair value as at the
date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are
carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment
losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite
or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful
economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that
the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the
amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is
reviewed at least at each financial year-end. The amortization expense on
intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the statement of
operations.
The Company's intangible assets consist of acquired technology and customer
agreements. The acquired technology is amortized using the straight-line method
over an estimated useful life of five years during which benefits are expected
to be received. The customer agreements are amortized using the straight-line
method over an estimated useful life of a period between twelve and eighteen
months during which benefits are expected to be received. As of 31 December 2005
and 2004, no impairment losses have been identified.
h. Goodwill:
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being
the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer's interest
in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less
any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortized and is reviewed for
impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-
generating unit, to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of
the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is
recognized. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the
operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the
operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when
determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of
in this circumstance is measured on the basis of the relative values of the
operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. As
of 31 December 2005 and 2004, no impairment losses have been identified.
i. Revenue recognition:
The Company and its subsidiary generate revenues mainly from licensing the
rights to use the Company's software products, and from royalty arrangements
upon licensing of the Company's software to end-users. The Company also
generates revenues from maintenance, support, training and professional
services. The Company does not grant a right of return to its customers.
Revenues from software licensing arrangements are recognized to the extent that
it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the
revenues can be reliably measured. Revenues from professional services are
recognized when the services are rendered.
Revenues from royalty arrangements are recognized in the period when such
royalties are reported to the Company, provided that all other revenue
recognition criteria are met. Royalties are recognized as revenues by the
Company, consistently in the quarter following the quarter in which such
royalties are earned. There is a consistent lag of one quarter between the
period in which the royalties are earned based on sales to end users and the
period in which such royalties are recognized as revenue by the Company.
Maintenance and support revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over
the term of the maintenance and support agreement. Deferred revenue includes
unearned amounts received under maintenance and support contracts.
j. Research and development:
Research costs are expensed to operations as incurred.
k. Government grants:
Royalty-bearing grants from the Government of Israel for funding approved
research and development projects are recognized at the time the Company is
entitled to such grants, on the basis of the costs incurred. These grants are
presented as a reduction of research and development expenses when there is
reasonable assurance that the grants will not be repaid based on estimated
future sales of the funded product. The management reevaluates the estimated
future sales of the funded projects on each reporting period.
l. Income taxes:
The Company and its subsidiary account for income taxes under the liability
method of accounting. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are provided
based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets
and liabilities and are measured at enacted tax rates that are expected to be
applicable in the year in which the differences reverse. Deferred tax assets in
respect of carryforward losses and other temporary deductible differences are
recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be utilized.
m. Exchange rates and linkage basis:
Assets and liabilities in or linked to the Israeli currency, New Israeli Shekels
("NIS"), or the Euro are included in the financial statements based on the
representative exchange rate as published by the Bank of Israel on balance sheet
date.
Data regarding exchange rates of NIS and Euro in relation to U.S. dollar are as
follows:
Exchange rate of Exchange rate of
As of one U.S. dollar one U.S. dollar
------------- ---------------- ----------------
31 December 2005 Euro 0.845 NIS 4.603
31 December 2004 Euro 0.733 NIS 4.308
n. Basic and diluted net loss per share:
Basic net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
Ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net loss per share is
computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding
during each period, plus dilutive potential Ordinary shares considered
outstanding during the period.
o. Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables,
and trade and other payables approximate their fair value due to the short-term
maturity of such instruments.
The fair values for marketable securities are based on quoted market prices.
p. Concentrations of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalent, marketable
securities and trade receivables.
The majority of the Company's cash and cash equivalents are invested in major
banks in the United States and Israel, in U.S. dollars. Management believes that
the financial institutions that hold the Company's investments are financially
sound and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these
investments.
The Company's marketable securities include investments in auction rate
securities, government debentures and corporate debentures. Management believes
that those corporations and governments are financially sound and that the
portfolios are well-diversified, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists
with respect to these marketable securities.
Trade receivables are derived from sales to customers primarily located in
Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. The Company and its subsidiary perform
ongoing credit evaluations of their major customers and to date have not
experienced any material losses.
As of 31 December 2005, the Company has no significant off-balance sheet
concentration of credit risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option
contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
q. Share-based payment transactions:
On 1 January 2005, the Company adopted IFRS 2, "Share-based Payment". IFRS 2
requires an expense to be recognized where the Company buys goods or services in
exchange for shares or rights over shares ("equity-settled transactions"), or in
exchange for other assets equivalent in value to a given number of shares of
rights over shares ("cash-settled transactions"). The main impact of IFRS 2 on
the Company is the expensing of employees' and directors' share options (equity-
settled transactions).
The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair
value at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and
conditions upon which the instruments were granted.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a
corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance
and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the
relevant employees become fully entitled to the award ("the vesting date"). The
cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting
date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has
expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that
will ultimately vest. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately
vest.
The effect of the adoption of IFRS 2 on the year ended 31 December 2005 was an
increase in employee benefits expense and an increase in net loss in the amount
of $ 207, with a corresponding increase in equity.
The effect of the initial adoption of IFRS 2 (retrospective application) on the
periods prior to 1 January 2005 is immaterial.
