Trading Statement

Synchronica PLC 18 January 2007 18th January 2007 Synchronica plc ("Synchronica" or the "Company) Update re. Contract, Cost Reduction Underway Tunbridge Wells, UK - 18th January 2007 - Further to its announcement of 4th December, Synchronica, an international provider of mobile device management and synchronisation solutions based on open standards, is pleased to update the market as follows. The Company: 1. Has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with a major international hardware manufacturer to provide Synchronica's SyncML Gateway under an OEM licence. The scope of this potential contract has recently been increased by the customer which, while to Synchronica's longer term advantage, will in the short term delay signing of the contract. Both parties are now targeting completing the contract in quarter one 2007. The contract, when concluded, is expected to provide almost immediate revenues for Synchronica. The terms of the MOU must, at this time, remain confidential; however the Directors believe them to be advantageous to Synchronica. 2. Has begun focusing its development on one software platform, Java, with more of the Company's resources being directed towards Synchronica's award winning SyncML Gateway where there has been the highest level of customer acceptance and where there is the largest addressable market. 3. Intends to re-implement Synchronica Mobile Manager using the Java programming language on Synchronica's SyncML DM Server during 2007, which will allow Synchronica to support the Unix Operating System and address the entire Smartphone market as well as mass market Feature Phones. 4. Is continuing discussions with a number of interested parties to provide, for a substantial fee, an exclusive licence for the existing Windows based Synchronica Mobile Manager source-code. 5. Has, following consultation, released 38 members of staff, from a total of 86, and closed one of its three offices. These measures are expected to lead to costs saving of £1.1m per annum with a one-off restructuring cost of £300k in 2006. 6. Will, subject to audit, report revenues of £1.2m for the financial year ended 31 December 2006, when it announces full year results in April. Given contracts already entered, such as the software licence to iXi Mobile announced 31 May last year, and the expected translation of the MOU noted above into a substantial contract by the end of Q1 2007; the directors believe Synchronica will benefit from a growing, predictable and recurring revenue stream.
