Review of Operations and Likely Developments in the Future
2004 was a turning point and an exceptional year for the Company. With the Ezyimage / MGM Wireless merger, change in the company's operations, a highly successful new product launch into the Education Markets, national expansion, and completion of many corporate initiatives, the year has been truly significant.
After successfully completing the Ezvimage / MGM Wireless merger, on October 1st, 2003, the company launched the first of its industry specific SMS messaging solutions.
MsgU™, an SMS communication solution designed specifically for schools to improve student attendance, was launched in South Australia after 14 months of comprehensive research & development, investment and planning.
The first South Australian schools to license the MsgU solution immediately and enthusiastically reported dramatic improvements in student attendance and, in the space of a few weeks, front-page newspaper stories across the country were hailing the system's success and commending the company for its innovation.
Within days of this media, the South Australian Premier, the Hon. Mike Rann, announced the Government would make available $1 million in additional funding for schools to address truancy and student retention, with the highest priority project being implementation of the MGM Wireless MsgU system.
The company is pleased to report that since then, more than half of all South Australian government high schools have now purchased licenses for MsgU, and the numbers continue to grow.
Having expanded sales channels nationwide during the year, we are pleased to report over 80 schools, geographically covering every mainland (excluding NT) state of Australia have now purchased MsgU. However, whilst impressive, this number still only represents 4% of the total Australian market size.
Extensive media coverage on MsqU and MGM Wireless in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Brisbane Courier Mail, Adelaide Advertiser, The West Australian, Channel 7 News, A Current Affair, numerous Radio Talkback shows, BBC Radio channel 5 (UK), and numerous educational publications further acknowledged the success of the product and the positive impact it is making on the next generation of Australians.
During the course of the year, MsqU was also independently proven by Governments, Education Departments and Schools nationally to deliver, within weeks of implementation, sustained improvements in student attendance and reductions in truancy by between 30-80%.
We are pleased to report the company has already achieved clear market leadership and dominates the Australian marketplace. MGM Wireless invented this technology, is pioneering a new market and industry, and achieving commercial success.
DIRECTORS' REPORT
From a social point of view, unfortunately, the truth remains that in our affluent Australian society, some 120,000 to 150,000 teenage kids are missing from school every day - that's the equivalent of 150 large schools being empty. Truancy is a first step in a downward spiral that often results in poor engagement in school activities and in students leaving school before completing their studies.
With every Australian high school costing an average of $11 million a year to run, the public is asking, "What is the point in our governments throwing money into an education system if the children aren't there?" On a political level, governments are beginning to acknowledge the Truancy epidemic.
Truancy - and its concomitant problems such as low retention rates, vandalism, shoplifting, unwanted teen pregnancy and crime - is a growing and somewhat hidden problem in Australia. Prime Minister John Howard recently announced that if reelected, the Liberal Party would move to base future $7 billion school funding conditional on schools publicly reporting on daily student attendance rates.
On September 3rd, 2004, Labor leader Mark Latham promised to invest $65 million over four years to help schools and teachers tackle student discipline and truancy.
The company is pleased to report that an independent estimate holds MsqU directly responsible for an additional 1 million days spent at school by Australian children since October 1st, 2003.
Financial Overview
The successful launch and market acceptance of new technology is always impressive, however the simultaneous achievement of commercial success is even more rewarding.
The return on investment for Schools purchasing MsgU is significant. Schools are generally funded by the number of enrolled students and attendance, in Australia, each student represents approximately $8000 in annual funding. Funding is generally continuously adjusted according to student numbers, with funding cuts as student numbers and attendance decrease. However the cost of absenteeism impacts not only on individual schools and families but also on Australia's future social and economic health. Students who are absent for two or more days each school month achieve 25% less in academic terms than their fellow students. Truancy is an indicator for petty and more serious crime, including theft, graffiti and vandalism.
By rapidly achieving a sustained improvement of 30-80% in daily attendance, the financial iustification for schools to invest in MsgU is solid. In fact, we often see Governments assisting schools through grants and other means to purchase our solution.
Providing schools with a solution that specifically address their needs, rather than just a product offering, means the company achieves strong margins.
In May 2004. MGM Wireless changed its pricing model to feature schools making payment not only for initial consulting and license fees, but also for ongoing annual license fees and communication charges.
This has had the effect of the company growing a significant ongoing income stream. By September 30th, 2004, this deferred income already grew to $120,000 and is expected to grow each quarter by $70,000 or more.
The company continues to grow from financial strength to strength, and highlights include:
- Achievement in first year sales (9 months) of $325,055.
- Quarter on quarter sales growth of 20-30%.
- Expected to move into trading profitability over the next 6-9 months.
- The company achieving $20,000 in deferred income for annual license fees which schools are contractually obliged to pay each year, Income will commence to be realised in May 2005.
- Approximately $70,000 (and growing quarterly at 20-30%) in additional deferred income is being accumulated each quarter for annual license fees.
- Sale of unmarketable share parcels.
- Share placement of $210,000.
- Sale of non-core investments.
DIRECTORS' REPORT
Innovation
The founders of MGM Wireless have a strong history in innovation. The MsgU solution is unique, and the company continuously develops enhancements, new features and functionality based on Customer feedback.
We are also pleased to inform shareholders the company has been working on a new product that will increase our competitiveness and raise the bar even further.
MsoU Watchlists™ has been in development since March 2004, and reflects the significant experience the company has achieved working with schools. It has been designed to deliver improvements in student attendance to even greater heights. It will break down the barriers and significantly enhance communication between Parents, Schools, and third parties even further.
Three schools have been scheduled for the Beta release program in the December 2004 quarter, and the company is confident this innovation will further strengthen our lead in the education market.
MGM Wireless has already lodged and received a patent for MsgU Watchlists, and it is worth noting that now four (4) separate Australian Patents protect the company's products and technology.
At all times, the company is committed to enhancing our flagship products through innovation to capitalise our commanding lead in the markets we serve.
Keeping the Customer Satisfied
Excellent products attract customers. Excellent experience with those products will keep customers for the long run, and this is a key factor in rapidly growing our business and outpacing future competition.
Whilst never losing sight that MGM Wireless is a technology and communications company, we know how to deliver services well and profitably. Recent Customer satisfaction surveys showed 100% of schools surveyed would recommend MGM Wireless to another school, and their experience with our consultants and professional services exceeded their expectations.
We take Customer satisfaction very seriously. We measure customer satisfaction and make sure they are pleased with our service outcome. We look for ways to improve the customer experience. For example, as a natural consequence of MGM Wireless offering highly sophisticated SMS messaging solutions to schools, customers encounter complex situations, Bringing these into balance requires a range of skills. We have developed advanced service methodologies for schools to specifically address these complexities that result in remarkable improvements in Parent engagement with the school.
MGM Wireless professional services cover the full spectrum from implementation support for successful start-up, to maintenance services that protect the Customers investment.
However, no matter what kind of service is involved, the goal is clear: We are interested in building long-term relationships with our Customers.
The Path Ahead
The company is exceptionally well placed and confident moving forward. We are the pioneer and innovator in this emerging and rapidly growing mobile phone messaging solutions for schools market.
In the coming year, we will move rapidly to expand our commanding lead and accelerate sales growth. We will continue our aggressive push into Australian markets nationally and simultaneously move on international markets.
Our value proposition of the MsqU for schools solution has never been better, the company never stronger and the market opportunity significant. We possess the vision, leadership, and financial capability and are confident that we will achieve our goals.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MGM WIRELESS LIMITED
Scope
The financial report and directors' responsibility
The financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of financial performance, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements and the directors' declaration for MGM Wireless Limited (the Company) and the consolidated entity, for the year ended 30 June 2004. The consolidated entity comprises both the Company and the entities it controlled during that year.
The directors of the Company are responsible for preparing a financial report that gives a true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.
Audit Approach
We conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion on it to the members of the Company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.
We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with Accounting Standards in Australia and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Company's and the consolidated entity's financial position and of their performance as represented by the results of their operations and cash flows.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2004
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1.
$(a)$ Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, other mandatory professional reporting requirements (Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views) and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis taking to account the following factors:
Increased sales revenue subsequent to balance date in the period in the period to the date of these financial statement, from the MsoU™ platform, leading to projected profitable trading during the course of the vear ended 30 June 2005:
Contributing to the above trading performance, the company commencing to receive deferred annual license fee revenue in May 2005, estimated to be $120,000 annually; and
The future appointment of licensed operators under agreements whereby for each agreement entered into, $150,000 is payable to the company to distribute the MsqU™ platform.
In consideration of the above matters, the Directors believe the going concern basis to be appropriate in the preparation of the financial statements.
The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
$(b)$ Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of MGM Wireless Limited (the parent entity) and all entities which MGM Wireless Limited controlled from time to time during the vear and at balance date.
Information from the financial statements of controlled entities is included from the date the parent entity obtains control until such time as control ceases. Where there is a loss of control of a controlled entity. the consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting period during which the parent entity has control.
Acquisitions of entities are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line dissimilar accounting policies which may exist.
All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in full on consolidation.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2004
$\overline{1}$ . SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
$(c)$ Income tax
The company adopts the liability method of tax effect accounting whereby the income tax expense shown in the statement of financial performance is based on the operating profit before income tax adjusted for any permanent differences.
Timing differences which arise due to the different accounting periods in which items of revenue and expense are included in the determination of operating profit before income tax and taxable income, are brought to account as either provision for deferred income tax or an asset described as future income tax benefit at the rate of income tax applicable to the period in which the benefit will be received or the liability will become payable.
Future income tax benefits are not brought to account unless realisation of the asset is assured beyond any reasonable doubt. Future income tax benefits in relation to tax losses are not brought to account unless there is virtual certainty of realisation of the benefit. The amount of these benefits is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income tax legislation and the anticipation that the company will derive sufficient future assessable income and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law to permit a future income tax benefit to be obtained.
$(d)$ Cash and cash equivalents
Cash on hand and in banks and short-term deposits are stated at nominal value.
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and in banks and investments in money market instruments, net of outstanding bank overdraft.
Trade and other receivables $(e)$
Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate of doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
Receivables from related parties are recognised and carried at the nominal amount due. Interest is taken up as income on an accrual basis.
$(f)$ Investments
Investments in controlled entities are valued in the parent entity's financial statements at cost less amounts written off for permanent diminution in the value of investments.
All other non-current investments are carried at the lower of cost and recoverable amount.
Plant and equipment $(q)$
Plant and equipment are brought to account at cost, less where applicable, any accumulated depreciation. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from those assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets employed and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to present values in determining recoverable amount.
$(h)$ Intangible assets
Intellectual property rights and website development costs are carried at cost and amortised on a straight line basis over the period of the expected benefit, not exceeding five years.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2004
$\mathbf{1}$ . SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Recoverable amount of non-current assets $(i)$
The carrying amounts of non-current assets valued on a cost basis, including the intellectual property of the MSGU™ Messaging System ('the system'), are reviewed to determine whether they are in excess of their recoverable amount at reporting date. If the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to the lower amount. The write-down is expensed in the reporting period.
The Company's and consolidated entity's financial statements have been prepared taking into account the Directors' current assessment of the prospects for successful development, deployment and the commercialisation of the Company's and consolidated entity's messaging system. Recoverability of the Company's and consolidated entity's recorded amounts for non-current assets depends on the future events which involve risk and uncertainties.
These events include consumer acceptance of the messaging system and the achievement of the Company's and consolidated entity's business forecasts. The Directors have carefully considered the above factors and have reviewed the progress of the Company and consolidated entity in achieving these business plans and forecasts to date. At this time the Directors are of the view that the outlook for continued successful development, deployment and commercialisation of the Company's and consolidated entity's technology is positive and that the recorded amounts of the Company's and consolidated entity's non-current intangible assets are not stated in excess of their recoverable amounts. The Directors will continue to regularly monitor progress against plans and, where necessary, any required write-downs in the carrying value of these assets will be made.
$\theta$ Trade and other payables
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the consolidated entity.
Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged, by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accruats basis.
$(k)$ Employee benefits
Provision is made for employee entitlement benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave
Liabilities arising in respect to wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee entitlements expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. All other employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided employees up to the reporting date. In determining the present value of future cash outflows, the interest rates attaching to government quaranteed securities which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability are used.
$(1)$ Contributed equity
Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the company. Any costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction in the proceeds received.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2004
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) 1.
$(m)$ Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Sale of Goods Control of the goods has passed to the buyer.
Interest
Control of a right to receive consideration for the provision of, or investment in, assets has been attained.
Dividends
Control of a right to receive consideration for the investment in assets is attained, usually evidenced by approval of the dividend at a meeting of shareholders.
$(n)$ Eamings per share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the Company for the reporting period, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company, adjusted for any bonus issue
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the basic EPS earnings, adjusted by the after-tax of financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the effect of revenues and expenses of conversion to ordinary shares associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus issues.
Goods and Services Tax (GST) $(0)$
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.
$(p)$ Comparative figures
Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for current financial year.
International Financial Reporting Standards $(q)$
Australia is currently preparing for the introduction of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) effective for financial years commencing 1 January 2005. This requires the production of accounting data for future comparative purposes at the beginning of the current financial year, being 1 July 2004. The adoption of Australian equivalents to IFRS will be first reflected in the consolidated entity's financial statements for the half-year ending 31 December 2005 and the year ending 30 June 2006.
The Company's Board of Directors, along with its auditors, are continuing to assess the significance of these changes and prepare for their implementation. This process involves evaluating the key differences in accounting policies and their financial impact, and identifying the changes to the company's financial reporting systems.
Set out below are the key areas where accounting policies will change and may have an impact on the financial report of the Company. At this stage the Company has not been able to reliably quantify the impacts on the financial report.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2004
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
International Financial Reporting Standards (cont.) $(q)$
Internally Generated Brands
Under the pending AASB 138: Intangible Assets, internally generated brands may not be capitalised to the statement of financial position, but should be expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Current accounting policy is to capitalise these costs and amortise them over the period in which their benefit is expected to be realised. The result of this change will be to derecognise the patents and trademarks that currently are recorded as intangible assets, with an adjustment being made to opening retained earnings.
Research and Development Expenditure
Pending standard AASB 138: Intangible Assets further requires that costs associated with research be expensed in the period in which they are incurred. In terms of current policy, research costs are capitalised to the statement of financial position where it is expected beyond any reasonable doubt that sufficient future benefits will be derived so as to recover these deferred costs.
Classification of Financial Instruments
Under AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, financial instruments will be required to be classified into one of five categories which will, in turn, determine the accounting treatment of the item. The classifications are loans and receivables - measured at amortised cots, held to maturity - measured at amortised cost, held for trading - measured at fair value with fair value changes charged to net profit or loss, available for sale - measured at fair value with fair changes taken equity and non-trading liabilities - measured at amortised cost. This will result in a change in the currentaccounting policy that does not classify financial instruments. The future financial effect of this change in accounting policy is not yet known as the classification and measurement process has not yet been fully completed.
Impairment of Assets
Under the Australian equivalent to IAS 36 Impairment of Assets the recoverable amount of an asset is determined as the higher of the net selling price and value in use. This will result in a change in the consolidated entity's current accounting policy which determines the recoverable amount of an asset on the basis of net cash flows. Under the new policy it is likely that impairment of assets will be recognised sooner and that the amount of write-downs will be greater. Reliable estimation of the future financial effects of this change in accounting policy is impracticable because the conditions under which impairment will be assessed are not yet known.
Share based payments
Under AASB 2 Share based Payments, the Company will be required to determine the fair value of options issued to employees as remuneration and recognise an expense in the Statement of Financial Performance. This standard is not limited to options and also extends to other forms of equity based remuneration. It applies to all share-based payments issued after 7 November 2002 which have not vested as at 1 January 2005. Reliable estimation of the future financial effects of this change in accounting policy is impracticable as the details of future equity bases remuneration plans are unknown.
Income faxes
Under the Australian equivalent to IAS 12 Incomes Taxes, the Company will be required to use a balance sheet liability method which focuses on the tax effects of transactions and other events that affect amounts recognised in either the Statement of Financial Position or a tax-based balance sheet. The most significant impact will be the recognition of a deferred tax liability in relation to the asset revaluation reserve. Previously, the capital gains tax effects of asset revaluations were not recognised. It is not expected that there will be any further material impact as a result of adoption of this standard.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE (Cont.) $\overline{4}$
No income tax is payable by the company as it incurred a loss for the year for income tax purposes.
Losses for income tax unrecouped at balance date amounted to approximately $2,318,687 (2003: $1,976,119) (subject to confirmation by the Commissioner of Taxation). The future income tax benefit of $695,606 (2003: $592,836) which may be derived from such losses has not been carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position and will only be obtained if:
- the company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the $(a)$ benefit from the deductions for the loss to be realised;
- $(b)$ the company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and
- no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the company in realising the benefit from the deductions for $(c)$ the losses.
