Chief Executive Officer's Operational Review
The first half of the year has been one of good progress as the Group moves from
its development stage and concentrates on securing and delivering new contracts
with recurring monthly revenues providing the Group with a robust business
model. Six months ago the Group had a single customer and three early stage
contracts. Today the Group has secured its tenth brand of which, half have now
been delivered and the Group is now earning increasing revenues quarter on
quarter.
Significant events during the half year are set out below:-
-- Gaydar (www.gaydarmobile.co.uk) has now successfully deployed mDate in
the UK, Australia and Spain and will soon go live in an additional five
countries giving the company a total of 8 revenue streams;
-- Global Personals went live on their first dating brand with mDate
(www.singles365mobile.com) and plan to deploy an additional 20 brands by
the year end - each of which will become new recurring revenue streams;
-- Bonefish (www.bonefish.com) went live on mCast, the company's mobile
marketing solution;
-- 5 new customers since the year end including international customers
Telefutures, IMCI (Netherlands) and Bronzedot (USA);
-- Professional Services Division is created with first new customer;
-- The Mobestar board of Directors has been strengthened by Steven Doyle
Chief, Technical Officer;
-- The Group has secured its first advertising driven dating community Mint
Date in the US;
-- 2nd Connection (www.2ndConnection.com), the Group's first B2C mobile and
internet community is launched using the Group's technologies, and
-- mSpace, the Group's mobile social networking application is released.
Chairman's Statement
Since April 2008 the Group has secured a regular flow of revenue share based
contracts with major brands. This is encouraging because of the rate at which
contracts are being secured and the large audience sizes addressed. The Group
derives no income from these contracts unless and until the underlying services
is brought to market.
To complement its revenue share products the Group has introduced a Professional
Service Division to assist customers in implementing mobile technology and
business initiatives. This division is anticipated to generate cash at the
project implementation stage.
As the mobile phone screen joins the television and computer screen as a
mainstream content and advertising platform, management believe the Group's
contracts will enter a period of rapid expansion and that the flow of contracts
seen thus far will rapidly increase.
