INTERIM RESULTS

QuikTrak Networks PLC
20 September 2004

QuikTrak Networks Plc

Interim Results

For the six month period ended 30 June 2004

The first six months of this financial year have presented the Company with some
major challenges.

Following the commercialisation of the M25 Network in late 2003, the Company
found that the market demand for a network limited to within the M25 was
incompatible with the operating costs being incurred, in particular the level of
spectrum fees being paid, which were for a national UK telecommunications
licence. Given the intense competition in the sector and the variety of
technologies on offer, it is now clear that a fundamental component of a
successful business plan is the ability to offer UK national coverage. The
establishment of such a network for QuikTrak would require a significant amount
of capital and we have to date not been successful in securing these funds,
despite sustained efforts.

Following a review of the costs incurred in operating the M25 Network, the Board
resolved it was not in shareholders' interests to continue to do so. As a
result, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, QuikTrak Telecommunications (UK)
Ltd (QTT), was placed into administration on 23 August 2004. The ability of
QuikTrak Networks plc to pursue its broader objectives is not impacted by this
decision.

During the six month period, the Company generated revenue of 157,002 (2003 :
26,025). The loss for the period was 2,589,940, which includes writing off
the value of the net assets in QTT to nil (2003 : loss of 1,471,848).
Included in the consolidated balance sheet at 30 June 2004 are assets of QTT
amounting to 1,142,642, offset by liabilities of QTT of the same amount.

The Company has refocused its operations in order to enable it to exploit the
Intellectual Property Rights of the technology and its unique software in
Europe, the Middle East and the countries of the former USSR through network
sales and licensing arrangements. In order to be able to demonstrate the
technology, the Company has negotiated the right to use a QuikTrak network
currently operating in Australia, at a substantially lower cost than the
operating costs of the M25 network.

In July 2004, the Company raised new equity of 800,202 (net of costs) to
finance this revised strategy.

Progress continues to be made in selling a licence agreement to a prospective
operator in the United Arab Emirates. This is the first example of QuikTrak
utilising the Intellectual Property ownership of its system and is intended to
act as a blueprint for all future licensing deals in Europe, the Middle East and
the countries of the former USSR. Licensing deals are expected to provide a
revenue stream through consultancy fees for preliminary investigations,
technical planning, acquisition of base-stations and software, as well as
through monthly technology, licence and technical support fees per base-station
and transponder deployed.

QuikTrak's secure, accurate and reliable tracking technology has been well
received by the market for a wide range of applications and I remain confident
that with our new approach based on licensing and partnerships we have a solid
base for re-building shareholder value.

Hi Artey, what I mean by the online spread is that the prices are different to the ones showing on the monitor. For example, the offer price is shown as 3.50 pence whereas if you check an online quote with your brokers dealing account you should see that the actual offer price is under 3 pence.

SueHelen - 02 Jul 2004 14:48 - 23 of 702

Further to that the real prices again are 2.00-2.75 pence instead of the indicative prices on the screen of 2.00-3.50 pence.

markp - 02 Jul 2004 21:22 - 24 of 702

Agree with PeterG & Big Al on this one. Set your stops if your brave enough to enter this one.

Sorry SueHelen, but just can't take any recommendation from someone who predicted "it'll be 50p by Christmas" for a share (CWV) which hit 19p at the top and now trades around 6p.

SueHelen - 03 Jul 2004 14:08 - 25 of 702

Hi Markp, thanks for your input. You should note that I did give my reasons for CWV and the reasons...all the prophetX contracts did come but the expected TDI contract did not come. I reiterated that a month ago on the CWV thread as well. Do you put Shares Magazine in that category who had a prediction of 20 pence for CWV couple of months ago ?

Geographical, political and economical situations change as well and stocks are in favour at some points and sometimes they are note. That is another thing to bear in mind. Just look at the rally in all the resouce stocks in March this year on the back of rising gold prices and all those stocks have retreated significantly since.

PS. I don't mean to boast but you have not mentioned all the risers I have picked since Christmas where if someone had followed me must have made hundreds of percentage of gains. I'm mystified as well, why that happens? When some are quick to point out stocks which have retreated even though I mention when I sell out and give my reasons and don't mention the 1000% gain and more put all together on all my picks since Christmas. What about the 250% gain some must have made after my recommendation at 7 pence and they went up to 22 pence ??? When I sold CWV at 15 pence the price was still at that level for four whole weeks which left plenty of opportunities for those who took my advice and bought could have sold as well when I did.

CHR +100%
NEB +80%
DOC +30%
CDN +25%
AFG +200%
MDW +50%
BGY +125%
PMD +200%
WHOG +200%
HST +50%
CFP +150%

Sorry but if you think my action was bitter on CWV then just have a look around on the threads on MONEYAM and see the price predictions and how the posters have disappeared. Unlike, I try to give my reasons for whatever action so those who bought in with me could atleast sell at the same time. I'm sure if you go back on the CWV thread back before Christmas you will see my reasons.

Just look at Colt this week and how it was touted as a takeover target here at 85 pence three weeks ago and now at 47 pence. No updates on that thread for investors who may have bought on the touted takeover rumours.

With regards to the QTR you must have done your reasearch so I appreciate your input. My research has led me to believe otherwise.

I have already mentioned in my earlier comments as to why these are a buy at these levels with reasons to back it up with.

Regards.

Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on Tuesday this coming week where details of when the new shares will come onto the market will be announced. Directors are putting 200,000 of their own money into the fundraising so out of the 56 million shares approximately 15 million shares less out of the 56 million shares will not be floating around. They will added to the directors interest.

Once the new shares have come onto the market the price should start to rise. The price has bottomed out (see candlesticks and definitions) and if one sees the trades since the fall from 15 pence they have been hardly any sells from 15p to 2 pence. This means that once more new contracts and licences start to come the price will have no resistance on the rises and they won't be any sellers, just buyers.

All the bad news was priced in hence the price did not fall when their results were released last week. It actually finished up on the day. Most of the latest contracts and licences were not included in the results. Even with the fundraising announcement they did announce a contract win with the fundraising announcement. The newsflow has been pretty good this year with new contracts and licences being awarded practically every month. A good RNS every month. What was wrong was their business model, which they have rectified now. All the bad news is out of the way now and with the directors options at 25 pence I think the directors can get the share price rising with new contracts win pretty soon.

From the Final Results :

"From the
beginning it has been a fundamental component of our business plan that we
operate a UK national network, but the establishment of such a network requires
a significant amount of capital and we have to date not been successful in
securing these funds - our efforts in this direction continue and we believe
that in due course we shall find a partner to further commercialise the M25
Network and take the technology to the national market.

Accordingly, the directors resolved in May 2004 to suspend commercial operations
of the M25 Network, retaining it for demonstration purposes, and to focus the
company's efforts on securing partners to roll-out, operate and commercialise
QuikTrak networks in the Territory. In June 2004, we secured #845,000 in new
equity to finance this revised strategy.

QuikTrak's secure, accurate and reliable tracking technology has been well
received by the market for a wide range of applications and I remain confident
that with our new approach based on licensing and partnerships we have a solid
base for re-building shareholder value".

Summary.

Trades Today.

BUYS = 521,264,
SELLS = 250,955,
Rollover trades = 1,228,000.

614,000 rollover trades reported at 3.50 pence and 3.45 pence after close today where somone sold them at 3.45 pence and bought them back at 3.50 pence. Someone who probably had these on a T20 etc. Encouraging trade nonetheless.
Though it is a rollover someone out there is holding 614,000 SHARES at a price of 3.50 pence now.

When the 56 million shares at 1.50 pence will be admitted to the market to be announced at the EGM tomorrow in which directors are putting 200,000 of their own money into the fundraising. So out of the 56 million shares the directors will be adding approximately 13 million shares to their interests.
The chairman already has a sizeable holding at 12 pence and other directors at 12 pence..

xmortal - 06 Jul 2004 11:33 - 33 of 702

I am trying to buy some more but at 2.75... will try later and see if I can get if for 2.5 like yesterdays...

Anyone getting quoted similar prices??

hilldee - 06 Jul 2004 11:46 - 34 of 702

the only thing you can say about this one is that if you are in at the placing price 0.015 then you MIGHT make a profit. Mind you, there have been previous placings,at higher prices and most of those investors will be sitting, just waiting, to cover their money.I suspect a LOT of burnt bulls in this one and its all going to take sometime to sort out and, possibly, even longer to make a real profit

GRAEME.ALEXANDER - 06 Jul 2004 12:01 - 35 of 702

xmortal
yes I am gettimg the same price quoted. I tried yesterday for 2.5 but didn't get any. Graeme.

Tokyo - 06 Jul 2004 14:08 - 36 of 702

I picked up a bunch at 2.5 yesterday, but today I bought another 200,000 @ 2.6 pence.

xmortal - 06 Jul 2004 14:27 - 37 of 702

Another announcement should be forthcoming in the next day or two stating when the new shares will be admitted to the market.

SueHelen - 06 Jul 2004 15:13 - 40 of 702

Edit : will work out new directors interest numbers in a while.

dell314 - 06 Jul 2004 15:24 - 41 of 702

Sue - I thought you might like to know that a poster on AFN claims that City Equities are hawking these around:

medicineman - 6 Jul'04 - 15:12 - 586 of 586

I have been offered these to buy at 2.5p by city equities today.They bought in the placing at 1.5p and are happily making 67% profit every time which is nice for them!These shares will inevitably drift towards the placing price of 1.5p unless there is a lot of positive newsflow.I will buy then as I still like the longterm story on these.

I guess that means that the placing stock isn't going to be tightly held and QTR have struggled to find any investors that wish to hold the stock, leaving the door open for the likes of City Equities to make a fast buck.
I suppose that also explains the large discount to market.

Rgds, as always.
