Final Results
TMT Group PLC
28 September 2005
TMT Group Plc ('TMT' or the 'Company')
These accounts cover the period to 30 June 2005. The Company has yet to make an
acquisition, and therefore generated no income during the period. The Company
made an operating loss of £207,907, and had net assets of £922,273, including
cash of £938,389 at the period end.
Since I last reported to you, the Directors have continued to pursue TMT's
strategy of identifying and acquiring businesses within the TMT sector. Despite
considering many opportunities within this sector, as at the balance sheet date,
the Board had yet to identify a suitable target. Subsequent to the balance sheet
date, on 19 August 2005, TMT announced it had made a commitment of €375,000 to
Mobile Tornado International Limited ('Tornado') as part of a proposed €2.4
million fundraising by Tornado through the issue of redeemable loan stock ('Loan
Stock'). Tornado has developed a business model based on 'push to talk'
technology that, among other things, enables a mobile phone to be used as a
walkie-talkie without roaming charges. The Loan Stock, which is unsecured,
carries interest of 20 per cent per annum and is convertible into ordinary
shares of Tornado, inter alia, immediately prior to the acquisition of the
issued and to be issued share capital of Tornado.
It was also announced that TMT had entered into non-binding heads of agreement
setting out the proposed terms for the acquisition of Tornado (the 'Proposed
Acquisition'). TMT has been granted an exclusivity period of 90 days from 19
August 2005 during which to conduct the acquisition process.
The Proposed Acquisition, which will constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM
Rules, is conditional, inter alia, on satisfactory due diligence being
undertaken on Tornado, the approval of TMT's shareholders in general meeting,
the negotiation and execution of formal legally binding documentation setting
out the terms of the transaction and admission of the enlarged entity to trading
on AIM. Consequently the Company's ordinary shares have been suspended from
trading on AIM pending confirmation that the Company will proceed with the
Proposed Acquisition and publication of an admission document in respect of the
proposed enlarged entity, detailing the terms of the Proposed Acquisition.
