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.

Results are out.

Dil - 20 Sep 2004 13:37 - 486 of 702

Huge increase in sales and admin costs , CEO given himself a huge pay rise ?

Anyone know ?

Dil - 20 Sep 2004 13:38 - 487 of 702

Oh bottom line , 2.5 million loss for six months ending June.

No new customers or deals mentioned.

Bust by xmas imo.

For someone who thinks it's a dog of a stock you like to keep a close eye on it.

hilary - 20 Sep 2004 13:47 - 490 of 702

It's called Muppet Baiting, john50. The FSA are looking to make it a criminal offence ......... maximum penalty of being forced to watch all of Leeds United's games for a whole season.

jeffmack - 20 Sep 2004 13:53 - 491 of 702

Or goaless draws at Stamford Bridge, then you blame the opposing team for being negative.

Dil - 20 Sep 2004 14:00 - 492 of 702

And exactly how many goals have Chelsea scored this season ???

And I heard you the first time John , just giving my opinion whether its wanted or not ... free country last time I looked.

hilary - 20 Sep 2004 14:07 - 493 of 702

Ooooooooh. Scratch yer eyes out Jeffie & Dilbert.

Look at it this way ....... if you don't concede a goal, then you won't lose the match.

Btw, John50. QTR really are crap. They're losing 50k a month on continuing operations and, before the last round of fundraising, their net worth was 94k at the end of June. If they hadn't raised that money, they would already be insolvent. The 800k has just prolonged the agony for another 16 months till they either go bust or try to sucker some more mug punters.

Dil - 20 Sep 2004 14:31 - 494 of 702

If you don't score a goal you don't win and lets face it if they had played for another three hours yesterday they still wouldn't have scored.

The fact that I have a bet with my mate that Chelsea will not win the league in no way influences my opinion of them :-)

john50 - 20 Sep 2004 14:38 - 495 of 702

So my man does the free country, free speach only apply to you?

hilary - 20 Sep 2004 14:40 - 496 of 702

I've got to say, Dilbert, that it was a disappointment that we didn't score both this week and last week against Villa. Still, that's life I suppose.

This is a marathon, not a sprint. There's a long way to go yet.

Dil - 20 Sep 2004 14:45 - 497 of 702

You say it as you see it John , feel free. Also feel free to question any point I make and I will try to answer you as honestly as I can.

Dil - 20 Sep 2004 14:46 - 498 of 702

And how much they paying those guys not to score ???

:-)

Dil - 20 Sep 2004 14:47 - 499 of 702

Chris K thinks he's a Chelsea striker looking at what he paid himself last year.

QuikTrak Networks H1 losses narrow
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - QuikTrak Networks PLC posted slightly narrower interim losses of 0.31 mln stg from losses of 0.52 mln a year earlier as sales increased to 157,002 stg against 26,025 stg last time.

The group said its tracking technology has been well received by the market for a wide range of applications and its new approach based on licensing and partnerships gives it a solid base for the future.

'Progress continues to be made in selling a licence agreement to a prospective operator in the UAE,' the company said.

'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.'

It added: '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.'
