Vimio Plc ("the Group" or "the Company")
Interim Results
For the six months ended 30 June 2006
Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to present the interim results of the Group for the six months
ended 30 June 2006.
Turnover for the period was €942,964 (2005: €231,785). Gross profits were €
932,643. As stated below, the group has significantly increased its commercial
activities in a number of territories, leading to a correspondingly larger
level of expenditure. This resulted in a loss before tax of €1,122,312 (2005: €
728,470). The loss per share for the period amounted to 4.38 cents (2005: 9.55
cents). At 30 June 2006 bank balances amounted to €1,926,547 (2004: €58,626).
The Group has made significant progress in the first six months of this year
and this has resulted in a significant uplift in turnover including an initial
contribution from Samsung. We have also seen a substantial increase in
commercial activity and opportunities in all regions and this continues into
the second half of the year.
Most of our revenues to date have been derived from the Middle East. We
continue to make progress in the region and have signed new agreements with
Umniah in Jordan and Al Aqariya, a Dubai-based media organisation, which
streams a range of real estate content to mobile users, both of which will have
a positive impact on our revenues in the future.
In addition, the Group has expanded into new geographical regions including
India and the Caribbean which has resulted in trials and first phase roll outs
of our products and services. Of particular note was our recent announcement
that, in partnership with Indian software group Bharti Telesoft, we have
commenced the implementation of the infrastructure required to deploy live TV
on mobile phones in India, a large and growing market.
The board is pleased with the Group's performance in the first half of the year
and is confident that the strategies being pursued by the Group will result in
accelerated growth and further penetration in existing and new markets. A
number of initiatives are currently ongoing and we expect to be in a position
to announce further agreements in the near future.

Notes to the Financial Information
1. Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and
in accordance with financial reporting standards promulgated in Ireland by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland.
The group financial information consolidates the financial information of Vimio
plc and all of its subsidiary undertakings made up to 30 June 2006.
The results of subsidiary undertakings acquired or disposed of in the period
are included in the consolidated profit and loss account from the date of
acquisition or up to the date of disposal. Upon the acquisition of a business,
fair values are attributed to the identifiable net assets acquired.
The combination of the businesses, Vimio plc, Vimio (Ireland) Limited, Vimio AB
and Vimio (China) Limited under the criteria of Financial Reporting Standard
No. 6 "Acquisitions and Mergers", has been included in the consolidated
financial statements using merger accounting rules. The results, assets and
liabilities of companies accounted for under these provisions are incorporated
in the financial statements as if these entities had been combined throughout
the entire period, albeit the transaction took place on 22 April 2005. The
merger adjustment, which is the difference between the fair value of the shares
issued to effect the merger and the nominal value of the shares acquired, is
dealt with on consolidation through reserves. All inter-group transactions and
balances are eliminated on consolidation.

ordinary equity shareholders divided by the weighted average of 25,757,046 (31
December 2005: 21,841,236) ordinary shares of €0.05 each in issue.
