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.

given that ..it bodes well for the future, sp is dawdling about a bit

queen1 - 08 Feb 2005 11:56 - 569 of 1449

Down again today...

iturama - 08 Feb 2005 13:02 - 570 of 1449

Par value of TGTL shares is still 2.20p. In the long run that is all that matters. Sometimes it is better to buy on a dip, or take the dog for a walk - whichever suits your nature! My dogs just lost out, I bought another 100k.

john50 - 08 Feb 2005 13:22 - 571 of 1449

well done iturama would like more but fully invested.

m100 - 08 Feb 2005 13:49 - 572 of 1449

what ?? - well a rise follows a dip sure as dogs need a walk..

iturama - 08 Feb 2005 14:37 - 573 of 1449

Tiger up 3.5% in early trading.

deancroft - 09 Feb 2005 10:03 - 574 of 1449

Anyone understand the 1.5m trade listed for 10.35 or is it an error?

john50 - 09 Feb 2005 10:19 - 575 of 1449

Late trade from yesterday,possible a buy at 1.55p.

Paulo2 - 09 Feb 2005 10:25 - 576 of 1449

If it went through at 10.35am it was probably the sell that knocked the SP down a notch yesterday. IMHO

Paulo2 - 09 Feb 2005 11:21 - 577 of 1449

And strangely enough the SP went down again 0.03 at 10.27 this morning! Another big sell? Wonder when that will show up!!

0057659 - 09 Feb 2005 21:25 - 578 of 1449

Another down day for tiger so another good buying opportunity for the WHOG tommorrow!! Surely this listing is imminent!

m100 - 10 Feb 2005 13:50 - 579 of 1449

call me a cynic - but would I be surpised to see a bounce back now.. just nod if you can hear me

0057659 - 10 Feb 2005 20:17 - 580 of 1449

m100

Good call! tgtl up over 5% at the moment should get a bit of a bounce back tomorrow worth topping up first thing i think ready for the next run.

iturama - 10 Feb 2005 21:03 - 581 of 1449

Finished on a days high of $28.25, up 7.2%. Blue day tomorrow.

More news on the opening date.

Gizmondo to open first store on Regent Street

Regent Street wont be the same after Gizmondo opens its very own flagship store. Not only will its shelves be packed with the revolutionary pocket-sized consoles that play games, music and movies, take pictures and send text, MMS and email messages, not to mention their route-planning GPS capabilities, the shop will also stock a wide range of accessories: clothing, carry cases, games, headphones, and everything a Gizmondo owner could possibly desire.



Opening 25 February 2005, its two floors will immerse visitors in the Gizmondo experience. At street level, logo-inspired lighting, stylish showcases and plasma screens showing music videos and movies will complement the consoles, games and clothing on sale. In the basement, celebrity visits and interactive events will maintain a lively atmosphere, as eager gamers seated on product pods compete against each other using Bluetooth-equipped demo units. Staff will be on hand to answer questions and to show all visitors just how good Gizmondo really is. Mark it on your calendar and prepare to be wowed!

paul30661 - 11 Feb 2005 08:16 - 583 of 1449

I topped up some this morning but didn't really beat the spread by much. Never mind.
As said before, here's to hopefully a blue day / week / month / year (delete as hope builds / fades!) :-)

The store opening is confirmed by Gizmondo Europe on 01252557100, it's a pity they haven't posted the same info on their website, as I pointed out to the lady answering the phone.
