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.

Elsewhere, news of the clearance of a stock overhang gave a lift to Warthog shares, 0.12p firmer at 0.54p.

Investtech Analysis after today's close, positive signal gained from the price climbing out of the falling trend, we'll be officially in a rising trend soon. :

Neutral (Short term) - Oct 11, 2004
Has broken the ceiling of the falling trend, which indicates a slower initial falling rate. The stock has support at p 0.38 and resistance at p 1.60. The poor liquidity of the stock (traded 95% of the days, mean 4.60 mill per day) may weaken the analysis. The stock is overall assessed as technically neutral for the short term.

SueHelen - 11 Oct 2004 23:01 - 198 of 1449

The below information about the holders was not in the public domain before as I gather, have they all acquired shares recently.....

Major Shareholders
( 8 Oct 04) 319.79m 1p Ords - Evo Noms Ltd 10.48%, Chase Nominees Ltd 5.47%, Barclayshare Noms Ltd 5.42%, Goldman Sachs Secs (Noms) 4.80%, HSBC Global Cust Noms (UK) 4.38%.

Were only aware of Gartmore and 3i Holding beforehand.

SueHelen - 11 Oct 2004 23:15 - 199 of 1449

Major Shareholders
( 8 Oct 04) 319.79m 1p Ords - Evo Noms Ltd 10.48%, Chase Nominees Ltd 5.47%, Barclayshare Noms Ltd 5.42%, Goldman Sachs Secs (Noms) 4.80%, HSBC Global Cust Noms (UK) 4.38%.

The 25.75 million buy at 0.35 pence and the 20 Million buy at 0.40 pence on Friday must belong to someone above then. In addition, the 10 Million buy on Thursday last week as well.

Confirmation about the 2 * 5 million T buys today and the 5 million broker trade where 5 million shares have been transferred from one person to another should get confirmed in the near future.

One solved, Goldman Sachs had a 3.46% interest before, they now have a 4.80% interest. 4.80% interest = Around 15.3 Million Shares. They have bought another 5 Million Shares.

SueHelen - 11 Oct 2004 23:20 - 200 of 1449

Another solved. EVO had a 9.21% interest before, they now have a 10.48% interest. 29.5 Million Shares before, they now have an interest in 33.5 Million Shares.

EVO have bought another 4 Million Shares.

SueHelen - 11 Oct 2004 23:32 - 201 of 1449

Chase Nominees Ltd 5.47%, Barclayshare Noms Ltd 5.42%, HSBC Global Cust Noms (UK) 4.38%.

The above three seem to have made their maiden purchases last week.....

Chase Nominees Ltd 5.47% = 17.50 Million Shares
Barclayshare Noms Ltd 5.42% = 17.33 Million Shares
HSBC Global Cust Noms (UK) 4.38% = 14.00 Million Shares

Total = 48.83 Million Shares

On Thursday & Friday last week, 10 Million BUY, 25.75 Million BUY, 20 Million T BUY, 2 Million T BUY....Total = 57.75 Million.

57.75 Million - 48.83 = 8.92 Million Shares.

EVO have bought another 4 Million Shares + Goldman Sachs have bought another 5 Million Shares. Total = 9 Million Shares. 9 Million Shares - 8.92 Million Shares = -800,000 shares.

I think I am spot on here, The Sums add up for all of them.

SueHelen - 11 Oct 2004 23:32 - 202 of 1449

So last week's biggish trades on Thursday and Friday are accountable for now, await to see who picked up 15 million shares today, ie. 3 * 5 Million trades, 2 T buys, and one B trade.

SueHelen - 11 Oct 2004 23:41 - 203 of 1449

A bid will not be coming for now after seeing the updated Major Shareholders list on Warthog's website....however a lot of instituitions are snapping these up at these prices.

dell314 - 12 Oct 2004 07:48 - 204 of 1449

Sue - Is there no end to the total rubbish that flows out of you???

Firstly, what do you think a nominee account is?

Secondly, you can't buy a company in chunks and then declare it at the end of your buying spree, when you feel like it.
That's why there are RNS holding declarations. Why do you think there is a takeover panel and all sorts of rules regarding increasing stakes in companies?

Don't believe the overhang has gone until you see the RNS(s) to prove it!

Remember ELH?
There were loads of stories in the press that the overhang had cleared, when the stock was sold down below 5p. It rallied to about 7p and then the selling continued - right down to below 2p!
The stories were simply planted with the press to provide a mug's rally..

SueHelen - 12 Oct 2004 10:20 - 205 of 1449

5 Million BUY comes through at 0.60 pence from an hour ago....

SueHelen - 12 Oct 2004 15:21 - 207 of 1449
