WARTHOG PLC
DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES

The board of Warthog plc (the 'Company') announces that it has today completed
the sale of all of the Company's subsidiaries to Tiger Telematics, Inc ('TGTL')
together with the transfer to TGTL of certain intra-group indebtedness due to
the Company. The total consideration including assumed indebtedness is $8.11
million of which $1,113,000 will be paid in cash and $7 million satisfied by way
of an allotment of 497,866 shares of common stock in TGTL at $14.06 per share,
being the average mid market closing price of a TGTL common share over the 14
days preceding completion. These shares are restricted stock and as such can
only be traded on or after the first anniversary of completion (the
'Anniversary') in accordance with U.S. securities laws. Up to the Anniversary,
these shares will be held in escrow against any claim arising under certain
warranties, tax indemnities and completion account net asset value adjustments
set out in the sale and purchase agreement. 150,000 of the cash consideration
will also be held in escrow until the Anniversary, pending specific warranties.
The Company has waived the balance of all other amounts due to it by its former
subsidiaries.

Upon completion of the transaction, the executive directors Ashley Hall, Steven
Law and Simon Elms together with one other remaining employee of the Company
will transfer employment to TGTL leaving Ian Templeton FCA and David Robinson as
non-executive Directors of the Company. The Company has also undertaken to
change its name and will be calling an EGM to effect such a change in due course
and will at that time update shareholders further.

The board of Warthog plc has sought to complete this transaction as rapidly as
possible (and therefore did not elect to seek shareholder approval) because the
group has continued to face difficult trading conditions within the games
development industry, as reported in the Company's Final Results on 28 September
2004, which has put the group under ongoing financial pressure. In addition,
TGTL required the transaction to be consummated as expeditiously as possible, in
conjunction with the commencement of shipping of its Gizmondo product into the
UK. The transaction leaves the Company having discharged substantially all of
its liabilities and with a valuable shareholding in TGTL which will be capable
of realisation in a year's time. The realisable value of this shareholding
depends entirely upon the commercial success of TGTL and the performance of the
TGTL shares on the financial market.

The board considers, in conjunction with its advisers, that this transaction
represents the best available outcome for the Company and its shareholders.

Tiger Telematics, Inc is listed on the 'NASDAQ Other OTC Market' under symbol
'TGTL'. TGTL's publicly stated intention is to apply for a listing on the
'NASDAQ National Market' in December 2004. TGTL is a designer, developer and
marketer of mobile telematics systems and services that combine global GPS
functions and voice recognition technology to locate and track vehicles and
people down to street level in countries throughout the world. The systems are
designed to operate on GPS and are currently being marketed to GSM current and
potential subscribers, primarily by the company's United Kingdom based
subsidiary, Gizmondo Europe Limited ('GEL'). GEL is a wholly owned subsidiary of
TGTL and is the maker of the Gizmondo, a next-generation mobile entertainment
device which includes games, built-in music, video, messaging and picture
functions and GPS. On 29 October, TGTL began shipping its first generation
product as part of a strategic retail roll out in the UK.

The transaction gives GEL access to existing games content and porting
technology to enable the transfer of titles developed for use on other platforms
on to the Gizmondo handheld device. Warthog plc shareholders will therefore
benefit from continued investment in TGTL as it seeks to exploit the games
content and technical capabilities that the Company has developed over the past
few years.

As previously announced on 12 October 2004, GEL is interested in 8.62 per cent.
of the Company's current total issued ordinary share capital.

About the Gizmondo device
The Gizmondo is powered by a Microsoft Windows CE.net platform, boasts a
2.8-inch TFT colour screen with a Samsung ARM9 400Mhz processor and incorporates
the GoForce 3D 4500 Nvidia graphics accelerator. It provides cutting-edge
gaming, multimedia messaging, an MP3 music player, MPEG4 movie playing
capability, a digital camera and a GPRS network link to allow wide-area network
gaming. Additionally, it contains a GPS chip for location based services, is
equipped with Bluetooth for use in multi-player gaming and accepts MMC card
accessories.

The Gizmondo device and its games are due for launch in the UK in the fourth
quarter 2004 and in North American markets from the first quarter 2005.

DEALERS believe that Warthog, 0.11p dearer, could be a good recovery punt. More than 52m shares in the computer games developer changed hands on hopes that the worst is over. Tiger Telematics, a leading European games console maker grabbed it by the tusks in October when it bought its subsidaries, intellectual properties and assests. In return Warhog acquired a stake in TT which is now worth at least 3p per share.

Tiger is trading nicely around $13 dollars again today. What is the fair value of whog if tiger is trading between 14-15. Does anybody know?

tburns - 08 Jun 2005 18:25 - 1093 of 1449

Roget

Should be approx. 1.05 so currently discounted

iturama - 10 Jun 2005 07:06 - 1094 of 1449

Tiger up another 3% yesterday. Even the technical charts are turning positive again.

tburns - 10 Jun 2005 08:45 - 1095 of 1449

We need to break 15$ and stay there before my heart rate will return to normal, but moving in the right direction though guys.

iturama - 10 Jun 2005 09:39 - 1096 of 1449

With the pound down to $1.82, the Whog discount is now over 30%.

mtwallit - 10 Jun 2005 10:37 - 1097 of 1449

tiger up 7% over the last four days.. think we all agree whog 1.2 should be the current baseline and thats before any further announcements come through

My MD returned from London today with a Gizmondo from Regent Street shop. It feels as good as it looks. He visited the shop twice and on each occasion was the only person browsing. Apparently there wasn't much to browse, very little on display as far as products concerned but impression was that goods were in the storeroom as the sales guy collected everything from the back of the store. When asked about the "demand" for the product(doing a 360 degree turn in an empty store) the sales guy very cleverly stated that online sales were good. My MD is late fifties and was extremely impresssed by the product, touch, feel, style, quality of sound/video etc. If he can be so impressed then I see no problem in selling this product. The current drawback is product awareness. So few people know it exists. I don't see many buying this value of product off the internet unless they have first touched base with it elsewhere. Who would risk buying possibly 200 worth of plastic (which it isn't)unless they have seen it in the flesh so to speak. This warrants another e-mail to Gizmondo I think.

iturama - 10 Jun 2005 12:27 - 1099 of 1449

DC.
I bought mine over the internet, although I am only 20 min by train from London. In fact, I buy most things over the internet these days. You can always return the goods for less than the price of a rail ticket to Regent's Street.

thesaurus - 13 Jun 2005 15:17 - 1100 of 1449

TIGER UP AGAIN TODAY. 3%

iturama - 13 Jun 2005 15:21 - 1101 of 1449

With the pound dropping, now $1.80, Whog par value is 1.10p. Discount is over 40%, so a correction is due.
Pound likely to continue falling since interest rates appear to have peaked.

shonky - 14 Jun 2005 07:22 - 1102 of 1449

wat price is Tiger now???

mtwallit - 14 Jun 2005 09:43 - 1103 of 1449

$13 dollar approx

iturama - 15 Jun 2005 18:17 - 1104 of 1449

Always nice to see the executive buying, rather than giving themselves options. Carl Freer bought almost 1.3M shares yesterday at $11.50 each in a private transaction. Makes us in Whog look puny.
Tiger roaring back today.

thesaurus - 15 Jun 2005 19:10 - 1105 of 1449

up 18%

iturama - 15 Jun 2005 20:34 - 1106 of 1449

Now +28%.

thesaurus - 15 Jun 2005 20:39 - 1107 of 1449

This is good news, this will hopefully mean good press coverage tomorrow. Does anyone know when the nasdaq application was filed because that will change everything. This company is way to big to be a pink sheet

iturama - 15 Jun 2005 21:08 - 1108 of 1449

Finished up +22.5%. Day traders cut the price in the last few minutes - looked like it would finish on $15.
Thesaurus.
TGTL has to complete its SEC filings for last year first. It said that this should be done by the end of June

iturama - 16 Jun 2005 07:18 - 1109 of 1449

Will be a blue day today.

Mr Mole - 16 Jun 2005 08:13 - 1110 of 1449

Up 30%...good start to the day. Long time coming. Long may it continue.
