Chairman's statement
The first half of 2007 has been another period of growth for the Group with
further sales growth which has enabled us to strengthen our position as a
leading e-commerce infrastructure payment solutions and platform provider in
Malaysia. The Group provides products and services through multiple distribution
channels including EDC terminals, SMS, and via banks' Automated Teller Machines
and Internet banking.
The Group increased its total points of sale, in the form of EDC terminals, by
13% to more than 3,400 (30 June 2006 : c3,000), whilst the number of
transactions through the Group's proprietary technology platform increased by
46% to 3.12 million (30 June 2006 : 2.14 million)
During the period, MobilityOne Malaysia also entered into an agreement with
AmBank (M) Berhad for the Group to provide its range of products and services
via the bank's payment channels. This is in addition to similar agreements
entered into with other large-sized banks in Malaysia such as CIMB Bank Berhad
and RHB Bank Berhad.
The Group's strategy for growth remains focused on two principal areas. Firstly,
by expanding the range of products and services available on the Group's
technology platform and secondly by expanding the business into further
geographical markets. To this end, the period under review saw the introduction
of electronic ticketing for buses and events to its range of products and
services and we are currently exploring several new business opportunities in
countries such as Cambodia and Indonesia.
The Group has also continued to invest in research and development of its MoCSTM
and ABOSSETM solutions with the major focus being on improving our banking
channel connectivity. These new improvements will not only allow for better and
faster integration with banks, but will also enable more products and services,
such as electronic ticketing and bill payment, to be channeled directly via the
banks.
Financial performance
The Group's revenues for the six months ended 30 June 2007 were £7.97 million,
up 32% from the corresponding period in 2006 of £6.02 million. This was mainly
driven by the increase in transaction volumes which resulted from the Group's
efforts to increase its number of distribution points and also the encouraging
results from the transactions via the banks' payment channels.
In tandem with the revenue growth, the Group's operating profit increased by 62%
to £475k (H1 2006 : £293k), net profit after tax improved 65% to £439k (H1 2006
: £266k) and earnings per share increase by 64% to 0.54 pence (H1 2006 : 0.33
pence).
Current trading and outlook
The second half of the financial year has started well with revenue in line with
the management's expectation. The Board is confident of a successful second half
of the year as we continue to expand upon our range of products and services.
The technologies and services offered by the Group are expected to create
greater operational efficiencies and provide service providers with a wider
reach into the marketplace and we continue to explore a number of overseas
expansion opportunities.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of preparation
The Group's interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2007
were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 September 2007.
The interims financial statements are unaudited and have been presented in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as adopted
by the European Union. The interim financial statements do not constitute full
statutory accounts within the meaning of Article 104 Companies (Jersey) Law
1991.
The financial information contained in the interim financial statements for the
six months ended 30 June 2007 and 30 June 2006 is unaudited. The comparative
figures for the nine month period ended 31 December 2006 have been extracted
from MobilityOne Malaysia's audited consolidated financial statements.
Full details of the accounting policies adopted which are consistent with those
disclosed in the Company's AIM Admission Document will be included in the
financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2007.
The acquisition by MobilityOne of the entire issued share capital of MobilityOne
Malaysia was pursuant to a share swap agreement whereby the shareholders of
MobilityOne were the same as those of MobilityOne Malaysia prior to the
transaction and therefore falls outside the scope of IFRS 3. The transaction has
therefore been accounted for as a group reorganisation rather than a business
combination. Further information is provided in Note 2 to the interim financial
statements.
2. Changes in the structure of the Group
As explained in Note 1 to the interim financial statements, the acquisition by
MobilityOne of the entire issued share capital of MobilityOne Malaysia has been
accounted for as a group reorganisation rather than a business combination.
Consequently, the previously recognised book values for assets and liabilities
have been retained and the consolidated financial statements have been presented
as if MobilityOne had always been the parent company of the Group.
The share capital for the period covered by the interim financial statements and
the comparative periods is stated at the nominal value of the shares issued
pursuant to the share swap agreement dated 22 June 2007. Any differences between
the nominal value of these shares and previously reported nominal values of
shares and applicable share premium issued by MobilityOne Malaysia has been
transferred to 'other reserves'. The effect on the Group of the changes in the
issued share capital of MobilityOne Malaysia during the period are reflected as
movements in other reserves.
3. Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are
measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the
entity operates ('functional currency'). The functional currency of the Group is
Ringgit Malaysia ('RM'). The consolidated financial information is presented in
Great Britain Pounds Sterling ('£'), which is the Group's presentational
currency as this is the currency used in the country in which the entity is
listed.
Assets and liabilities are translated into £ at foreign exchange rates ruling at
the balance sheet date. Results and cash flows are translated into £ using
average rates of exchange for the period.
The highlighted financial information has been translated using the exchange
rate as follows:
Exchange rate (RM : £)
At balance Average
Period ended sheet date for period
30 June 2006 6.68 6.59
31 December 2006 6.90 6.85
30 June 2007 6.92 6.82
4. Segmental reporting
For management reporting purposes, the Group's activities are treated as a
single class of business, all arising from goods and services provided in the
Far East. Accordingly, no segmental analysis of revenues, profits, assets and
liabilities is available for presentation.
5. Taxation
The charge for income tax expense included in the interim financial statements
is based on the unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2007 and is
calculated at the expected rate applicable to the Group for the full year ending
31 December 2007.
MobilityOne Malaysia has been awarded a MSC status by Multimedia Development
Corporate Sdn Bhd and is entitled to tax-free incentives in Malaysia until 2015.
However, an insignificant amount of tax is provided for Netoss as it is subject
to the Malaysian taxation.
6. Earnings per share
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity
shareholders in the six month period ended 30 June 2007 of £439,255 (30 June
2006 : £266,431; 31 December 2006 : £441,918 ) by the number of shares in issue
at 30 June 2007 81,637,204. As explained in Note 2, the share capital for the
current and comparative periods has been stated as the number of shares issued
pursuant to the share swap agreement dated 22 June 2007.
7. Material events subsequent to the end of the first half year
Subsequent to the end of the period under review, MobilityOne placed 12.3
million ordinary shares at 12.5 pence per ordinary share ('Placing Shares')
raising approximately £1.54 million before expenses which will be utilised
mainly for the Group's overseas expansion, working capital and capital
expanditure. The Placing Shares and the existing ordinary shares of MobilityOne
were subsequently admitted to AIM on 5 July 2007.
