We expect the momentum built in 2006 to continue and our sales pipeline to grow in size and quality. We plan to open our first overseas office in New York in the first half of 2007 to support our existing US revenue stream and to enable us to increase our presence in the large North American market with minimum exposure. We anticipate further sales there in 2007 and beyond.' 29 March 2007 Enquiries: Corero PLC Tel: 020 7392 1300 Jarlath McGee, Chief Executive John East & Partners Limited Tel: 020 7628 2200 John East College Hill Tel: 020 7457 2020 Matthew Smallwood/Jamie Ramsay About Corero Corero designs, develops and delivers market leading software products for financial institutions through its Financial Markets Division, and business and education markets through its Business Systems Division.

Chairman's Statement I am pleased to report that Corero has achieved record results for the year both in terms of revenue and profit. All Divisions and product lines were profitable, with Blue Curve, now a part of Financial Markets Division, doubling its revenues and the Business Systems Division more than doubling its profit contribution. The acquisitions of Eclipse and Blue Curve have been very successful and have given the Group a platform for continuous and sustainable growth. These acquisitions, combined with organic growth across the Group, have resulted in a transformation of the business and a significant restructuring of our trading operations. To recognise these changes and to reposition it for the next phase of its development, the name of the Company was changed to Corero plc from Mondas plc with effect from 27 February 2007. Results For the year ended 31 December 2006, the Group reported record revenues of £6.3 million (eight months ended 31 December 2005: £2.1 million). Our adjusted profit before tax was £0.4 million (eight months ended 31 December 2005: loss £0.8 million), with the turnaround of £1.2 million due to strong revenue performance in the financial sector most notably with Blue Curve more than doubling its revenues compared to 2005. The Group took on 24 new customers in the year, as well as 2 major cross sales of new products to existing users in the financial sector. The Business Systems division produced strong profits from its solid user base, with the Eclipse product line moving from break even in 2005 to a significant operating profit in 2006. Our annualised support base increased by 47% to £2.8 million at 31 December 2006. Our earnings per share based on adjusted pre tax profit were 1.1 pence (eight months ended 31 December 2005: loss 2.9 pence). The improved trading and successful integration of acquisitions has allowed the Group to benefit from positive free cash flows of £430,000. This has lead to a much improved working capital position at the year end. This, when combined with the August 2006 variation of the Convertible Unsecured Loan Stock ('CULS'), has given the Group its strongest ever financial position. Business model and strategy. Our strategy is one of strong organic growth from our financial markets products on a global basis and to underpin this by increasing recurring revenues across both divisions. We will augment this with appropriate acquisitions which offer exciting growth opportunities and deliver shareholder value. Staff On behalf of the board, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our staff for their efforts in producing these excellent results, and I look forward to working with them over the next few years as we realise the true potential of this business. Outlook The much improved financial position of the Group, its strong increase in new clients, its recurring annual revenues and the proven global capability of its products put Corero in a position to deliver strong results in 2007 and beyond. In our trading update on 3 January 2007, we referred to the slippage of a large license extension agreement from an existing customer, which arose due to a procurement delay. We expect this agreement will augment the first half of 2007's performance. In summary, I am pleased to report Corero has achieved record results for the year both in terms of revenue and profit, resulting in a much improved financial position. The acquisitions of Eclipse and Blue Curve have been very successful and we now have a platform for continuous and sustainable growth which leads us to view the Group's future with optimism. Peter Waller Chairman 29 March 2007 Chief Executive's Report Overview I am delighted with the performance of all divisions this year. It has been a year of significant change in the business with the acquisitions of Blue Curve and Eclipse adding greatly to the Group through their customers, their products and their people. Our international business has grown significantly. We now service clients in the West and East Coasts of North America, continental Europe, Moscow, South Africa and Singapore. Our rebranding has brought together all of the Group under one new set of values and identity, while retaining the very strong branding of the products within each of our divisions. Following this restructuring, we now have two operating divisions; Financial Markets Division and Business Systems Division. Financial Markets comprises the Blue Curve and Radica product lines and is focussed on Research Management and Asset Servicing solutions. Business Systems Division comprises the Eclipse and Resource product lines and is focussed on the public sector, in particular the education market. During 2006 we won 24 new clients and now support 288 customers in total. With Blue Curve, we achieved sales to our first US clients and with Radica CAPS, we were selected to provide a global income processing system to one of the world's largest investment banks. We now support clients across four continents and are moving towards becoming a truly global provider of complex products to expanding markets. Our commitment to our customers has been rewarded with very strong revenues from our user base and our focus on sales has seen our customer base increase by 24 to 288. Financial Markets Division This division has seen the greatest change with the acquisition of Blue Curve. Divisional revenues have increased from £0.8 million in 2005 to £3.9 million, including almost £2.0 million from Blue Curve, more than double its 2005 revenues. Annual recurring revenues have increased from £0.5 million at the start of the year, to £1.2 million at the balance sheet date. The division increased its number of customers from 6 to 22, with 8 new Blue Curve and 2 new Radica CAPS clients joining the user base which was also enlarged with the acquisition of Blue Curve. All financial markets clients have contracted for additional licences or services which clearly points to a very satisfied customer base. Several large Blue Curve licence renewals, including ING and Evolution, are testament to the acceptability of our products. Our investment in Version 4 of Radica CAPS has allowed us to deliver a fully integrated system to Panmure Gordon in less than 12 weeks and has ensured the selection of Corero as the global platform for income processing in one large investment bank. We have increased our headcount in this division. This is due to the strong Blue Curve business and an increasing pipeline of opportunities across both products. Our internal estimates and those of the Celent report, (Celent is an independent consultancy focussed on the banking sector) show that the potential markets for our key products are forecast to be worth approximately $1 billion between now and 2010, and I believe that we have the products and the people to capitalise on these growing markets. The business drivers remain the same. These drivers are reduction of operational risk, growing compliance demands and the reduction of cost, all of which produce a demand for automation within our target customers. Basel II and MiFID remain strong drivers for better systems and our products will help our customers achieve the level of automation required. We are seeing increasing interest in the Blue Curve product from North America and our plan for a New York office will ensure that we capitalise on this while it will also service our current revenue stream from existing US clients. It will also facilitate the global roll out of the global income project at one of our large investment banking client and at the same time increase the acceptability of the Radica CAPS product to our other global prospects. Business Systems Division The acquisition of Eclipse has helped increase the revenues of this division from £1.3 million in 2005 to £2.4 million this year. Divisional contribution has increased from £0.1 million to £0.6 million. At the year end, annual recurring revenues from support contracts were £1.5 million. The division has 266 clients, up from 250, and the education sector now accounts for over 60% of the user base with 154 education sector clients. City Academies represent an emerging complementary market within the education sector, and of the 16 new education clients, 6 were City Academies. We continue to see strong brand loyalty from our customers in this division which is reflected in the level of repeat business and low attrition rate. This has contributed greatly to the fact that 75% of Group revenues have come from our clients who were with us at the start of the year. We continue to invest in product development and are in the first stages of the development of a new Learner Management System (LMS) which will provide an upgrade path for current users of our existing Resource LMS and Eclipse LMS products. Future We expect the momentum built in 2006 to continue and our sales pipeline to grow in size and quality. We plan to open our first overseas office in New York in the first half of 2007 to support our existing North American revenue stream. This will enable us to increase our presence in the large North American market where we anticipate further sales in 2007 and beyond. We expect this operation to be break-even by the end of the year, minimising any exposure. We will continue to develop our products to maintain their market leadership position and plan to hire additional sales and delivery staff to take advantage of our growing opportunities. Jarlath McGee Chief Executive 29 March 2007 Chief Financial Officer's Report Financial Performance For the year ended 31 December 2006, the Group reported adjusted profits before tax, adjusted for goodwill amortisation, restructuring costs, notional non-cash interest and share option expense, of £408,000 compared to a loss of £772,000 for the eight months ended 31 December 2005. Group revenues increased significantly to £6,294,000 (eight months ended 31 December 2005: £2,091,000), driven by the recent acquisitions and by organic growth across the Group. Approximately 75% of our revenues came from existing users, demonstrating the acceptance of our products and the high level of customer satisfaction we enjoy. Strong growth was experienced in the Financial Markets Division, where revenues grew to £3,873,000 (eight months ended 31 December 2005: £774,000). Revenues of £1,968,000 arose from the acquisition in January 2006 of Blue Curve; an increase of 223% on its revenues for the year ended 31 December 2005 of £883,000. Blue Curve generated significant licence revenues, both from sales to new customers and increasing commitments by existing customers. Radica revenues were £1,905,000 (eight months ended 31 December 2005: £774,000) with growth coming from 2 new licences and increased delivery of services into existing customers. Business Systems Division revenues grew to £2,420,000 (eight months ended 31 December 2005: £1,317,000), with approximately £500,000 of this arising from Eclipse, which was acquired in October 2005. Contracted annual licence and support revenues have increased to approximately £2,800,000 (eight months ended 31 December 2005: £1,900,000) due to the acquisition of Blue Curve, an increased customer base, and significant sales of additional licences and services into the existing user base. Revenue growth has been in conjunction with a controlled increase in our cost base. Employee numbers have increased to 75 at the balance sheet date (31 December 2005: 53) arising from the acquisition of Blue Curve and from investments made in sales, delivery and infrastructure staff to support the increased level of business. Recurring revenues of approximately £2.8 million now provide significant coverage of fixed costs. Exceptional costs of £170,000 relate largely to surplus premises arising on the acquisition of Blue Curve, and include a provision against certain future property lease costs. The company is actively marketing these premises to potential tenants. Goodwill amortisation arising on our recent acquisitions has been calculated on a straight-line basis based on a 10 year amortisation period from the point of acquisition, giving rise to a total charge of £295,000. The comparative charge of £495,000 was mainly the final element of goodwill arising from the October 2000 acquisition of DSR Resource (now the Business Systems Division), which was amortised over a 5 year period. We believe the change to a 10 year amortisation period more accurately reflects the life of the recently acquired products, taking into account their user base, revenue performance, increasing recurring revenues, profitability and cash generation. However, for 2007 we will be reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which require that goodwill is not amortised, but instead is tested annually for impairment. Net interest payable on the 8% Convertible Unsecured Loan Stock ('CULS') less amounts held in the bank was £274,000 (eight months ended 31 December 2005: £151,000). Additionally the company was obliged under FRS25 ('Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation') to report an additional, non-cash, ' interest' charge of £388,000 (eight months ended 31 December 2005: £89,000). This includes £325,000 non-recurring, notional adjustments arising from the variation of the CULS, in addition to £63,000 of non-cash, notional interest charges also required by this standard (eight months ended 31 December 2005: £89,000). The cash cost of the CULS variation was approximately £82,000 and consisted of commissions and professional fees. The Group has adopted FRS20 ('Accounting for Share Based Payments') as we offer share options to staff and executives. This has been applied retrospectively to the prior period as well as the current year. The valuation has been estimated by using the Black-Scholes model, and has made certain reasonable assumptions to determine the valuation. As a result there is a charge of £13,000 (2005: £3,000) relating to share based payments. There is no cash impact to the Group as a result of this new accounting standard. Tax credits of £38,000 were received in the year which relate to previous tax credits reclaimed. Total tax losses carried forward are approximately £5,200,000, subject to final HMC&E agreement regarding the streaming of certain losses from acquired businesses. Earnings per share based on adjusted pre-tax profits were 1.1 pence (eight months ended 31 December 2005: loss 2.9 pence). The average number of shares in issue in 2006 was 36,251,573 (2005: 26,881,206). After adjusting for exceptional costs, FRS25 interest and the amortisation of goodwill the loss after tax was £418,996 (eight months ended 31 December 2005: £1,449,199 restated for FRS 20). Financial Position On 30 August 2006 our balance sheet was strengthened by changes to the CULS, with the redemption date being extended from 31 October 2007 to 31 October 2011, the coupon reduced from 8.75 per cent to 8 per cent and the conversion price adjusted to 25p. In addition a placing of £1,000,000 nominal of new CULS was completed at par, together with a small placing of 405,250 new ordinary shares at 16p per share, raising £65,000, to provide funds for incremental investment opportunities and working capital. Positive free cash flow of £430,000 was generated from operations, compared to a consumption of £726,000 in the prior eight month period. The net turnaround of £1,156,000 when combined with the CULS renegotiation and the issue of £1m new CULS has significantly strengthened the Group's financial position. Trade debtors were £2,294,000 (2005: £643,000), which represented 52 days sales outstanding (2005: 67 days). Goodwill arising during the year was £2,519,000, which was entirely due to the acquisition of Blue Curve on 16 January 2006. £925,000 of this arose from the initial consideration, with the remaining £1,530,527 arising from the deferred consideration, which was determined by revenue growth in excess of a defined threshold. This will be payable by way of a share issue, with the number of shares being determined by reference to the higher of 17 pence or a 10 per cent discount to the closing mid-market price on the date of the preliminary announcement of these results. Consequently a maximum of 9,003,100 shares will be issued under the earn-out. Net liabilities of £3,000 were assumed on acquisition, and the costs of acquisition were £61,000. Deferred income, which represents future revenues for the Group, increased to £1,466,000 (2005: £1,245,000). This increase arose from the acquisition of Blue Curve Ltd and from increased sales during the year. The Group's net deficit position has decreased significantly by £2,438,000 to £312,000 at 31 December 2006, as a result of improved trading, and the increased capital base.

The shortfall adjustment was defined as 1.5 times the amount by which Blue Curve's revenues for the year ending 31 December 2005 fell below £925,000. Blue Curve's revenues for the year ended 31 December 2005 were £882,567. The deferred consideration is to be satisfied by the issue of up to a further 9,003,100 new Corero ordinary shares, issued at the higher of 17p per share and a discount of 10 per cent. to the mid market price of a Corero plc ordinary share on the date of the announcement of preliminary results for the year ending 31 December 2006.

Accounting policies Basis of Preparation Going Concern These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with applicable accounting standards, using the following accounting policies. The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors believe that current sales prospects combined with existing working capital resources should ensure that Corero has adequate working capital to service its existing business for the foreseeable future. Although the Group has historically incurred significant trading losses and cash outflows, the year ended resulted in operating profits after interest, and in cash generated from operations. Improved trading conditions and successful integration of acquisitions has helped strengthen the Group's working capital position. During the year the CULS were renegotiated, with their redemption date moved to 31 October 2011. Change in accounting policy The Group has changed its accounting treatment for employee share options. Under Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 20, Share Based Payment, the Group is required to recognise an expense for share-based payments in the profit and loss account. Details of the accounting policy adopted are given below. The impact of this change in accounting treatment has been to reduce the Group's operating profit for the year by £12,648 (2005: £2,620) 2.
