INTERIM RESULTS

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.

QuikTrak Tracking Technology



The Directors of QuikTrak Networks plc (AIM: "QTR") announce that QuikTrak has
significantly reduced its overheads in order to enable the Company to exploit
the Intellectual Property Rights of the technology and its unique software.
Following the recent private placement, the Company has the necessary cash
resources to pursue its business strategy of securing licence agreements with
prospective operators in Europe, the FSU and the Middle East.

Following a review of the costs incurred in operating the Phase I network as a
demonstration network, the Board has resolved it is not in shareholders'
interests to continue to do so. As a result, the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, QuikTrak Telecommunications (UK) Ltd (QTT), has been placed into
administration. 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.

The ability of QuikTrak Networks plc to pursue its objectives is not impacted by
this decision.

QTT has appointed Simon Thomas and Trevor Binyon of Tenon Recovery to act as
joint administrators. Thomas commented, "We are pleased to be involved and are
highly confident we can capitalise on the current position reached through many
years of developing this unique technology and secure a suitable buyer for the
existing Greater London/M25 QuikTrak network." Any parties interested in
purchasing the business and assets of QTT should contact either Tenon Recovery
or their agent, Edward Symmons & Partners, whose details are below.

Further to the announcement made on 25 June 2004, progress continues to be made
in securing a licence agreement with a prospective operator in the UAE. 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 FSU and the Middle East. These are the three primary geographic
areas within which the Board is currently exploring opportunities and where they
have broad commercial experience. Licensing deals will 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 deployed.

CEO getting good at placing things into administration.

Big Al - 24 Aug 2004 21:02 - 395 of 702

Now, let me get this straight.

QTR has negotiated to use the Australian system, which was presumably that used by the company that went into administration under the same "management".

This is fishy beyond words if I've got it correct.

I've been looking at the share price perfomance since this thread started on 29th June and at today's closing price, the value of anybody's holding has halved.

It's not looking good really, is it?

Scripophilist - 24 Aug 2004 21:30 - 396 of 702

An interesting way to cut costs, Put the company into administration and then use its assets!!

Big Al - 24 Aug 2004 21:34 - 397 of 702

I could do that for 300 grand a year.

Honest guv!

January 2004

Investors in Quiktrak have been far from happy with the company for some time as the share price hasw plunged into the basement. The share price now languishes at a third of a cent after having been in an almost continual decline for the past three years.

The last financial report provided by the company showed that it had accumulated more than AU$22 million in losses and was due to run out of cash before the end of 2003. A AU$3.5 million Rights issue was announced in October 2003 to fill this gap.

Nice release, should see further gains tomorrow. Price finished 11% up after the news release at 16.07 hours.

Sue - LOL!
Ever heard of MMs orchestrating a sucker's rally?

I'm sure prospective purchasers of the technology will be dead impressed when they are offered a demonstration of a network, owned by a company that went bust trying to operate it.

This technology has now put at least two companies into administration.
How many times can Chris K. find suckers willing to put up more cash to finance further attempts.....

Interesting article in Shares mag concerning the activities of the Berlin Stock Exchange (in listing stock without company permission) and the activities of various individuals/companies in shorting activities for those stocks. Anyone know if Quiktrak is listed on that exchange.Would it be impertinent to ask what qualifications 'SueHelen' has to pontificate on this stock?

ptholden - 25 Aug 2004 23:04 - 401 of 702

Hilldee 399/399

Sue Helen has the same right as anybody else to 'pontificate' on this stock. Qualifications are immaterial IMHO. It is up to you to DYOR and take whatever advice you feel fit. Sue H spends a lot of time contributing to many of the threads on this BB, for which I, for one am grateful. Personally, I think she has got this one wrong, but that is just my opinion and in the long run it may be I who has it wrong. Whatever, it is my choice to listen or not, snide comments like yours do an injustice to an active member of the BB.

Regards

PTH

Thanks for your comment.Of course S.H. has the same right and how correct you are to inform us that her 'qualifications' are immaterial. This enables such as myself to evaluate her contributions. I note that both you and I are able to keep our messages brief.
