Company Update

November 2011

Dear Shareholder

I am pleased to be able to update you on your Company’s progress and provide thoughts on the short and medium term outlook.

As is the case for most companies, Stratatel has been operating in tough economic conditions. These conditions have seen new sales in the Company’s software and services division fall short of management’s expectations, despite our aggressive approach to sales and marketing. In parallel, and for some months, the Company has been investing in the set up and roll out of FleetManager[®] in South Africa. These factors together have resulted in a negative Group EBITDA to 31 October. The remainder of the year in terms of profi tability looks promising notwithstanding it is likely the Company will show a loss for the half year ended 31 December.

The disappointing sales and EBITDA results in the SW&S division made a restructure across all operating divisions of the Company necessary. This restructure focuses the Company on the Australian TEMs business (including Optus) and also the potential “game changing” bill reporting deal (FleetManager[®] ) in South Africa, where revenue generation has now commenced.

By contrast, the proprietary TEMs (Telephone Expense Management) and PEMs (Print Expense Management) divisions have proved resilient to date and respective sales pipelines are healthy. The SW&S division will consolidate and focus on clients and new business in WA and SA primarily whilst remaining alert to larger opportunities. In addition, the Company may also take the opportunity to make a change in its accounting policy for this division.

Combined these changes will result in reduced revenues but profi tability (EBITDA) should be enhanced in the second half of the year and beyond, particularly considering the substantial upside from the bill reporting deal struck in South Africa.

While there have been some challenges over recent months, we are confi dent that these have been overcome and as we move forward and focus on the opportunities – especially in our TEM business – we are back on the right path.

Kind regards, Matthew Parry, CEO Stratatel Limited

The Company’s fl agship Telecommunications Expense Management (TEM) system, FleetManager[®] has been chosen by an American Telecommunications Carrier to provide bill reporting capability to an Australian manufacturing company. The mobile and fi xed line services are currently being established in the FleetManager[®] system. Stratatel is very excited at the prospect of rolling out this solution to other customers of the carrier in Australia and the Asia Pacifi c region.

The FleetManager[®] and CADS FleetManager systems have undergone a redesign to update the look of the product and improve useability. During the fi rst stage of the project the look of the product has been updated and early next year changes will be made to the features, layout and useability of the system. Clients have been very receptive to the new look of the product with one client commenting, “Just wanted to congratulate you, the new look is fantastic.”

Clients have also been sharing positive stories on the benefi ts that the FleetManager[®]

system has delivered to their business. Michelle Thompson, Purchasing Specialist at enterprise software developer SAP, explains: “In a one year period SAP have reduced their expenditure on mobile devices by more than 20%. For our company the three stand out benefi ts of the FleetManager[®] system are: helping the organisation to control and reduce costs; providing visibility to staff of their mobile phone usage (leading to changes in behaviour); and easier asset management.” Click here to download the full case study.

Services & Consulting: Review leads to refocus on service

Between 2009/10 and 2010/11 what we previously called the Software & Services business unit grew by a strong 91% to revenues of $8.436k. This result is due to the combination of some small acquisitions in Western Australia and South Australia and investment in organic growth in the eastern states.

services provided to clients across the country have enabled us to build a depth of technical and consulting capability, however, the margins on the software offering were of questionable benefi t to Stratatel’s desire to build a profi table business. This situation was exacerbated by challenging economic conditions in selling new software opportunities in many areas around Australia.

A strategic decision was made to refocus this business unit to utilise our depth of capability in servicing customer software and application requirements. As a result of refocussing the business, the name of the business unit has also changed to Services & Consulting. The business unit is now leaner and while revenues are anticipated to fall in line with this strategy the business should be more profi table overall.

Services Spotlight:

The City of Perth Council has seen major improvements since partnering with Stratatel to implement Lotus Sametime. The team at Stratatel worked closely with the City of Perth team to deliver the integration of Sametime and Cisco VoIP.

results to date have been very pleasing. “Collaboration has been vastly improved by being able to see a person’s availability at a glance and the best way to reach them. Employees typically being collaborating via IM, and then escalate to voice and video as required. The Council has also achieved cost savings via using their IP network for calls, and using the Click-to-Conference function for ad hoc video conferences.”
