Unaudited Interim Results

TMT Acquisition (LSE: TMTA), the investment business established to pursue opportunities in the technology, media and telecom sector, today announces its unaudited interim results for the period ended 30 September 2022.

Financial Highlights

·  Net cash as at 30 September 2022 of £ 4,750,869

· Net assets as at 30 September 2022 of £ 4,731,814

·  Operating loss and loss before tax of £ 45,461

·  Basic and diluted loss per share of £0.00

Harry Hyman, Non-Executive Chairman of TMT Acquisition, said:

" The impact of the conflict in Ukraine combined with global inflation and rising interest rates has adversely affected global equity markets, resulting in significantly lower valuations, particularly for technology stocks.  These macro events and subsequent reduction in valuations are presenting investment opportunities for the Board to evaluate, and we have seen an increase in the number of opportunities in recent weeks and months. 

We continue to apply a disciplined approach when evaluating opportunities, focusing on the quality of earnings and the calibre of the management team, with the objective to generate attractive long-term returns for shareholders. We have continued to look at opportunities in the technology space and we hope to have identified a suitable acquisition in the next 6 months or so. We have just under £5m available to invest in a suitable target company looking for a listing.

With the rise in interest rates the Board has recently assessed various product offers to maximise the return on cash on deposit. The directors believe current rates will broadly offset the ongoing administrative expenses and listing fees.

We believe that our strong cash position, the current economic downturn combined with our disciplined and patient approach, puts us in a prime position to execute on our strategy.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my fellow shareholders for their continued support"

Interim Management Report

TMT Acquisition was incorporated to pursue opportunities to acquire businesses in the technology, media and telecom sector with a focus on disruptive ‎digitally enabled media and technology businesses. The Directors have stated their intention to consider making an acquisition of the following types of businesses:

-  Platform and marketplace businesses;

-  Tech-enabled disruptive businesses;

-  E-Commerce businesses; and

-  On-line B2B and enterprise solutions businesses.

In October 2021, the Company was admitted to listing on the standard segment of the Official List and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the LSE, raising gross proceeds of £5 million (net proceeds of £4.73 million) from institutional investors.

During the period ended 30 September 2022, the Company recorded a net loss of £45,461 being the minimal running costs of the Company. The Directors draw no salary, so any ongoing costs relate to administrative expenses and listing fees.

As at 30 September 2022, current assets were approximately £4.76 million.
