Final Results

TMT Group PLC 28 September 2005 TMT Group Plc ('TMT' or the 'Company') These accounts cover the period to 30 June 2005. The Company has yet to make an acquisition, and therefore generated no income during the period. The Company made an operating loss of £207,907, and had net assets of £922,273, including cash of £938,389 at the period end. Since I last reported to you, the Directors have continued to pursue TMT's strategy of identifying and acquiring businesses within the TMT sector. Despite considering many opportunities within this sector, as at the balance sheet date, the Board had yet to identify a suitable target. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, on 19 August 2005, TMT announced it had made a commitment of €375,000 to Mobile Tornado International Limited ('Tornado') as part of a proposed €2.4 million fundraising by Tornado through the issue of redeemable loan stock ('Loan Stock'). Tornado has developed a business model based on 'push to talk' technology that, among other things, enables a mobile phone to be used as a walkie-talkie without roaming charges. The Loan Stock, which is unsecured, carries interest of 20 per cent per annum and is convertible into ordinary shares of Tornado, inter alia, immediately prior to the acquisition of the issued and to be issued share capital of Tornado. It was also announced that TMT had entered into non-binding heads of agreement setting out the proposed terms for the acquisition of Tornado (the 'Proposed Acquisition'). TMT has been granted an exclusivity period of 90 days from 19 August 2005 during which to conduct the acquisition process. The Proposed Acquisition, which will constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules, is conditional, inter alia, on satisfactory due diligence being undertaken on Tornado, the approval of TMT's shareholders in general meeting, the negotiation and execution of formal legally binding documentation setting out the terms of the transaction and admission of the enlarged entity to trading on AIM. Consequently the Company's ordinary shares have been suspended from trading on AIM pending confirmation that the Company will proceed with the Proposed Acquisition and publication of an admission document in respect of the proposed enlarged entity, detailing the terms of the Proposed Acquisition.
