ASX Release June 10, 2008

Mobi Limited & CommQuest Limited, Joint Company Release

CommQuest Completes MobiData Acquisition

  • CommQuest Acquires 100% of share capital of MobiData Holdings Ltd

  • 50/50 revenue sharing between CQU/MBI for 30 months

  • MBI revenue from deal capped at AUD$16 million

Melbourne, Australia, 10 June 2008 , Mobi Limited (ASX:MBI) CommQuest (ASX:CQU), CommQuest will now be able to deliver worldwide mobile applications and ‘rich content’ services via SMS across its client base following the acquisition of MobiData’s unique multi-platform application system.

“CommQuest was interested in acquiring mobile applications to accelerate its fast growing SMS customer base and was pleased to find that it could source such technology right here in our backyard,” said CEO, CommQuest Mr. William Scott.

“Through the CommQuest/MobiData deal we have found a successful partner to commercialise and exploit our technology whilst also retaining the right to share in the benefits of such commercialisation and exploitation. CommQuest provides a great home for our technology given its knowledge and experience within the growing SMS marketing sector” said CEO, Mobi Mr. Michael Abela.

In April 2008, CommQuest paid Mobi $200,000 for an opportunity to exclusively examine the potential of Mobi’s technology.

Both companies announced today that they have entered into a sale agreement in relation to the acquisition which allows CommQuest to acquire the MobiData technology and cross market the opportunity to its client base. Mobi Limited will benefit in the commercialisation of its product by CommQuest through a revenue sharing arrangement agreed by the parties. The acquisition is expected to complete on July 1, 2008.

“It has been a win-win opportunity for CommQuest and Mobi and once again shows Australians that we can compete with the best when it comes to innovation in the fast growing IT space,” added William.

“CommQuest is a young, dynamic marketing company with significant domestic and international operations and an ideal channel to sell MobiData’s mobile applications and

service over the next thirty months. For Mobi Limited this represents a great outcome as we are able to share in future revenue with no downside risk or ongoing cost burden” said Michael. “The sale of MobiData allows Mobi to concentrate on its revenue generating entities, OneNetwork, AK Communications and Sholl Communications.”
