Trading Statement

Mobile Streams plc 15 January 2008 Mobile Streams Plc - Trading Statement 15th January 2008 Mobile Streams Plc ('Mobile Streams' or the 'Company') issues an update to shareholders ahead of the release of its full year 2007 results, which are expected to be announced on 26th March 2008 - Full year revenues are expected to be approximately £9 million, up from £8 million in 2006 (+10%) - Trading EBITDA* expected to be below the guidance given in the Interim Results Announcement on 18 September being a loss of approximately £1.1 million . - Trading EBITDA* includes one-off reorganisation and bad debt charges incurred of approximately £500,000, relating to restructuring of the company, primarily in Europe, due to a rapid industry change from on-portal operator to off-portal consumer revenue generation. Off-portal business generally requires fewer staff to operate mobile content services due to decreased carrier sales, technical integration and up-front content licensing activities. - Managed Services division saw a strong performance in Asia, where revenues more than doubled during the year, with new contracts such as Singtel Singapore outsourcing its music, games and download channels to Mobile Streams - Consumer Services division experienced strong growth from the Mobile Internet, more than doubling its H2 revenues from H1, powered by the Ringtones.com brand - Revenues evenly balanced between Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia Pacific regions - Zoombak, a GPS device and service for locating cars and pets, launched commercially in the US in December 2007, in partnership with our strategic investor Liberty Media - Net cash at 31 December 2007 expected to be not less than £2 million - Loss before tax will include an impairment charge of approximately £1.6million for the write down of goodwill and intangible assets; this relates primarily to the European operation. Commenting Simon Buckingham said: '2007 was a transitionary year for the mobile content industry and the company. The performance of the European region was disappointing and action has been taken to address this. Growth in downloads from operator portals was largely flat, whilst the Mobile Internet was still a largely experimental phenomenon. The Company expects in 2008 to see the continued gradual opening up of the Mobile Internet around the world as companies such as Apple and Google continue to strengthen their global mobile presence. Following its restructuring into two operating divisions, Mobile Streams is positioned in 2008 to take advantage of the trends towards operator outsourcing through its Managed Services division and the opening of the Mobile Internet through its Consumer Services division. Going forward, the Company will be minimizing costs and preserving cash. We go into 2008 with a simplified structure and reduced cost base which The Board feel is appropriate for our anticipated level of revenues.' *calculated as profit before tax, amortization, depreciation, share compensation expense and impairment of assets.
