Dividends:
The Company is pleased to announce a 0.25 cents per share interim unfranked dividend for the half-year period ended 31 December 2008 (previous corresponding period 0.25 cents per share). The record date is Tuesday 24 March 2009 with payment of the dividend expected to be made on 14 April 2009.
The Company remains committed to the payment of regular dividends and to the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan which remains available to Shareholders.
Explanation of Result:
In the first six months of the 2008-9 financial period revenue increased by 51% from over the previous corresponding period ($2.8m to $4.2m) as a result of organic sales growth from the FleetManager and Softlog business units and the addition of the Phoneware business. Earnings Per Share increased to 0.9 cents (pcp 0.88 cents).
At the same time earnings before tax increased from $347k to $751k, 116%. Net profit after tax was $821k.
Operating Cash Inflow of $1.17m, an increase of $786k over the previous corresponding period, supports a significant improvement in the Company’s ongoing activities.
During the period there was a net cash inflow of $101k against a net cash outflow for the previous corresponding period of $381k, an increased inflow of $482k, due to sales growth and sound cash management. The Company remains debt free.
These results are in line with the Company’s expectations and the outlook for the second half of the fiscal year is cautiously optimistic, subject to any further deterioration in the world economy.
The solid performance in revenue and earnings reaffirms the Company’s strategy of building a base of recurrent revenues to underpin stable long term business growth.
The Company continues to actively pursue acquisitions that are earnings per share accretive.
The information contained in the attached half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The half-year consolidated financial statements are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable accounting standards including AASB 134 and AASB 136: Interim Financial Reporting, accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.
The half-year report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for land and buildings, derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale financial assets which are measured at fair value. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2008 and any public announcements made by Stratatel Limited and its subsidiaries during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.
The half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the group as in the full financial report.
For the purpose of preparing the half-year report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company’s 2008 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2008.
In the half-year ended 31 December 2008, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2008.
It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
==> picture [169 x 71] intentionally omitted <==
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of STRATATEL LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report, which comprises the condensed balance sheet as at 31 December 2008, the condensed income statement, condensed statement of changes in equity, condensed cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements for the half-year ended on that date, and the directors’ declaration, of Stratatel Limited and the entities it controlled during the half-year ended 31 December 2008 (“consolidated entity”).
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of Interim and Other Financial Reports Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2008 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Stratatel Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
