Significant features of Operating Performance

Ansearch Limited (Ansearch) is an online media company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX:ANH). The Ansearch group of companies generates revenue by selling advertising space on a growing network of search engines, portals and popular websites.

Ansearch specialises in delivering sponsored search, display and rich media advertising to Australian audiences. The Company originally provided this suite of products and services through its own search and directory websites, and has since extended its network and audience reach to include the distribution of advertising to third-party Australian, US and UK based search engines, websites and recently third party advertising networks.

Ansearch has continued to build on the distribution, partnership and joint venture opportunities that were in place previously or which became opportunities during the financial year.

One key matter reported on in the 2006 annual report, that of the delinquency of the $800,000 consideration for disposal of 65% equity in subsidiary Optum ES Pty Ltd, remains an action in the Supreme Court of Western Australia. No other significant litigation is on foot.

During the period under review, the Company entered into some significant arrangements as detailed below:

■ Ansearch group company soush Pty Ltd secured exclusive representation of www.NZS.com – New Zealand’s premier locally owned search engine and directory;

■ Ansearch launched ‘adsvalue’, the contextual search advertising platform that enables advertisers to purchase keyword targeted display;

■ Ansearch signed with US online media firm Findology to manage the Australia audiences for more than 300 of its global search engine partnerships;

■ Ansearch made a non-renounceable entitlement issue to shareholders on a 1:4 basis with 1 free 10c option attaching to each Entitlement Share taken up. The funds are to be used for growth of core businesses, acquisitions and technology development and support of cash flow requirements.

■ Ansearch presented at Ad-Tech Interactive Marketing Conference in Sydney and New York ■ Ansearch and Google entered into a landmark agreement to become involved in Google’s AdSense for search programme which enables Ansearch users to have access to Google’s targeted keyword advertising;

■ Ansearch acquired Webfirm, a leading WA based web development and search engine optimization business leading to significant expansion in its involvement in

■ the provision of fully integrated online services to site owners, publishers and agencies;

■ Searchtown and Yahoo! Search Marketing entered into a partnership for distribution of search advertising to key global markets;

■ Ansearch and Jayde Online Inc entered into a joint venture whereby Ansearch will produce an Australian version of the SiteProNews website and will shre content and monetization of Jayde’s large Australian readership.

With the Company’s key technology and commercial relationships now firmly established, coupled with the support of proprietary business processes and systems, the focus of the Company today is to drive aggressive revenue growth to take the business through to sustained and growing profitability.

Ansearch is now well on track to become the leading independent online media company in Australia, by using its proprietary business model, technology and processes to generate the maximum amount of advertising revenue, at the highest possible yield, in the shortest possible timeframe.
