Vimio Plc ('the Group' or 'the Company')
Interim Results
For the period from 1 April 2005 - 30 September 2005
Chairman's Statement
Introduction
I am pleased to present the first report of Vimio plc ('the Group') to
shareholders since its admission to the Alternative Investment Market ('AIM')
on 2 September, 2005. The results cover the period from 1 April, 2005 to 30
September, 2005.
In the six month period to 30 September, 2005 the primary focus has been on the
AIM listing which was completed on 2 September, 2005 when the group placed
5,600,000 ordinary shares at £1 per share which raised approximately €8,200,000
(£5,600,000). We are delighted to have the support of our new shareholders.
The placing strengthened our balance sheet, enabled us to capitalise on our
technical competitive advantages and provided us with the resources to expand
the Group's business in key geographical regions. Additionally, the proceeds of
the placing will fund the ongoing technical research and development to enhance
the Group's product offerings and the acquisition of content specific to our
customers' requirements.
Results summary
Sales for the six month period ending 30 September, 2005 were €214,000. The
loss in the period was €1,006,000. This figure reflects increased expenditure
on product development and the expansion of our core team of experienced
professionals. The Group has a healthy cash position and we continue to manage
our resources tightly.
The group has prepared consolidated accounts for the 6 months from 1 April,
2005 to 30 September, 2005 in compliance with AIM rules. Comparative figures
for the six months ended 30 September 2004 are not included as the trading
subsidiaries were only acquired on 22 April 2005 and the Company only commenced
trading on 22 April 2005. The Group will produce audited financial statements
for the year ended 31 December, 2005 and thereafter interim reporting for the
six months ended 30 June 2006.
Business Development and Strategy
This has been a period of continued operational progress and exciting
developments. We continue to develop our technological solutions and to develop
business relationships particularly in the Middle East where our customers have
introduced live television over their mobile networks. We are also working with
these customers to deploy value added content services over their networks.
In addition, significant progress was achieved with Samsung Electronics, one of
the world's leading handset manufacturers. Subsequent to the period under
review, the Company entered into a strategic partnership and licence agreement
to embed the Group's audio and video software in Samsung's mobile phones.
Part of our strategy for geographical expansion is to enter into joint venture
agreements and strategic partnerships. It is the board's experience that
significant benefit will accrue to the Group through this strategy. Our product
offerings together with local management talent will facilitate an accelerated
route to market and quicker access to subscribers. The board is pleased that we
have made progress and are currently in negotiations in key geographical
regions including, China, the Middle East and India. The group has continued to
develop its strategy to provide a global network operations centre that will
operate alongside regional data centres.
We continue to acquire the rights to tailored content offerings in line with
the increasing demand for more sophisticated content aligned to specific market
needs.
Outlook
It is our considered view that advanced mobile entertainment services
including, live television, full music and video downloads will achieve mass
market acceptance over the next 12 - 18 months, as evidenced by the recent
growth in sales of advanced mobile handsets throughout the world. In addition,
the drive by network operators to increase revenue per subscriber creates
significant opportunities for our business.
The Group is well positioned to take advantage of these developments and we are
confident of further progress in the near future and beyond. We continue to
develop and enhance our product offerings and the momentum in our business is
strong.
