REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FUTURE
The Directors of MGM Wireless Limited are pleased to report a very successful year and the achievement of many significant milestones for the company, including:
- Successful completion of USA trials and opening of operations in Silicon Valley, California
- Signing of a co-marketing and co-branding agreement with USA school services leader VIP Tone
- Winning US School District contracts in California and Arizona
- Winning 'preferred tenderer' status for all WA public schools
- Signing agreement for the Indian sub-continent with Roltin Global
- Trials commenced in prestigious Indian schools
- Continued impressive growth in Australia, which includes record revenues of $2.198m for the year to end June 2007, up 10% on the previous year.
- 354% increase in market capitalisation June 30 '06 $7.2m, June 30 '07 $32.7m
- Record volumes of SMS communication traffic through our networks.
- Reinforcement of our dominant market and technology position in the school parent communication industry through ongoing R&D and establishing strong relationships with key influencers in the schools market
Net loss before tax was $783,932 after expensing the following costs:
| Amortisation of original Intellectual Property | 153,200 |
|---|---|
| Non-capitalised R & D expenditure | 220,826 |
| USA & India expansion expenditure | 231,064 |
| Total | $ 605,090 |
After elimination of the above, Operating Loss would be: $178,842. The company ended the year with cash on hand of $806,000.
We are very pleased with these results, which are the result of focus and unflagging determination by MGM Wireless employees, management and directors. We are confident the momentum and enthusiasm generated in 2007 will enable us to continue to report strong results in 2008 and beyond.
US Operations
The company opened operations at Sunnyvale, Cal, in January 2007 trading as Messageyou, LLC.
Within three months, the new operation had its first large customer, the San Leandro School District in Northern California, and weeks later closed a sale to the Sahuarita School District in Tucson, Arizona, which followed from extensive trials in 2006.
The company also entered an alliance with VIP Tone, a leading school management software company in the US, to integrate the messageyou™ suite with its products and co-market the offering to existing and new customers.
With a market of more than 40,000 schools, the US continues to present opportunities for substantial growth. School funding is based on daily attendance, not enrolment, and the US Federal Government provides a substantial grants program to address the growing problem of truancy and the associated dropout rate for high school students.
Following the tragic shootings at the Virginia Tech campus, crisis communication has become a major driver for US sales.
The company has familiarised itself with local buying patterns and issues facing the Education sector and is now realising the benefits of its market research with a strong pipeline of leads and negotiations under way with School Districts in Texas, Florida and California.
Domestic Growth
In Australia, the company's progress in the WA schools market of a competitive tender for the provision of School Attendance Communication services has further consolidated its position as the leading provider of text messaging to schools.
This is a significant achievement against both local and international suppliers and is the first state-wide project of its kind in the world.
This single agreement has the potential to triple the company's customer base, with an anticipated initial order for 400 schools.
Nationally, the company continued to win significant new customers, including influential schools in the public, Catholic and independent sectors.
SMS Traffic Growth
Crisis communications was a factor in growth of SMS traffic volumes, with the company breaking the 100,000 texts-per-week barrier during the severe storms on the NSW East Coast in early 2007. In addition, the company is seeing schools use text communication for a growing diversity of applications outside attendance.
Because the company operates its own SMS communication network, increased communication becomes a more significant, valuable and reliable source of revenue growth.
Indian Joint Venture
The company entered a joint venture with Roltin Global, a well-connected, diversified group with strong relationships in the Indian schools sector. Roltin has established trials of messageyou™ in the Delhi Public School and St Xavier's Boys High School, both in Ahmedabad, the seventh largest city in India, with a population of almost 5.3 million.
India has 1 million secondary schools alone and a sophisticated technology sector. Solid growth is therefore anticipated following on the announcement of successful trials.
Board Appointments
The company is pleased to have appointed former Federal Education Minister and Treasurer John Dawkins AO as a nonexecutive director.
Mr Dawkins has provided consulting and mentoring services to MGM for the past two years during a period of strong and consistent growth. He brings his deep experience in education policy to the board and his expertise in corporate governance as a director of both unlisted and listed companies over the past 12 years.
Following his retirement from politics in 1994, Mr Dawkins commenced building a career in business as a strategic advisor and board member. For nine years he was chairman of Elders Rural Bank and for nearly 10 years served on the board of Sealcorp Holdings, now Asgard Wealth Solutions. His current appointments include Chairman of Retail Energy Market Company and Integrated Legal Holdings and Director of Genetic Technologies and Government Relations Australia.
He has maintained his interest in education policy, participating in education policy reviews for the World Bank and the OECD in five countries, including Ireland and Malaysia. In 2001 he undertook a review of Education Adelaide for the SA Government.
Corporate Capability Strengthened
The company made, and will continue to make, significant additions and improvements to our internal management information and communication systems. This has resulted in streamlined processes and the establishment of the infrastructure to support our future growth. These systems provide on-line access to data enabling timely decision making and enhanced productivity.
Recognising that our employees are our most valuable asset, we have commenced the process of expanding our human resource function to provide additional organisational and employee counselling, and enhance employee training and development programs.
DIRECTORS' REPORT
Product Developments
MGM Wireless has continued its tradition of product leadership. We believe in continuous innovation to deliver new and improved products and services to drive the company's competitiveness and revenue growth. The company delivers both evolutionary and revolutionary changes. This year, we delivered substantial advances in all our existing products with acrossthe-board new version updates that not only delivered valuable improved functionality and features, but also substantially lowered our implementation and on-going support costs. These advances will drive both top line and bottom line growth.
The company has also been developing revolutionary new products that are currently in beta testing with several influential schools. These exciting new products will further enhance and enrich school to parent communication and also deliver more rapid growth opportunities to the company.
The company plans to launch the first of these products on October 8, 2007, at the Australian School Bursars Association (ASBA) conference in Adelaide.
Summary
This has been a year of great progress for MGM Wireless. As we look to the year ahead, we believe we are very well positioned to take advantage of our growth opportunities. We will continue to invest wisely for the future and build on our many strengths to meet our customers' needs, increase shareholder value, and maintain a stimulating and productive environment for our employees.
We are optimistic about our future, and look forward to reporting to you on our progress.

REMUNERATION REPORT
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and executive of MGM Wireless Limited. The information provided in the remuneration report includes remuneration disclosures that are required under Accounting Standard AASB 124 "Related Party Disclosures". These disclosures have been transferred from the financial report and have been audited.
A. Remuneration policy (audited)
The board policy is to remunerate directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of directors' fees that can be paid is subject to approval by shareholders in general meeting, from time to time. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. However, to align directors' interests with shareholders interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company.
The company's aim is to remunerate at a level that will attract and retain high-calibre directors and employees. Company officers and directors are remunerated to a level consistent with the size of the company.
The executive directors and full time executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed.
Performance-based remuneration
The company does not pay any performance-based component of salaries.
B. Details of remuneration for year ended 30 June 2007 (audited)

There were no executives of the company at any time during the year.
There were no performance related payments made during the year.
The Black and Scholes valuation was used to value the options issued as share-based payments. The following factors and assumptions were used in determining the fair value of options on grant date:
| Expiry Date | Fair Value per Option | Exercise Price | Estimated Volatility | Risk Free Interest Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 January 2010 | $0.0075 | $0.07 | 25% | 5.19% |
| 31 January 2010 | $0.0041 | $0.09 | 25% | 5.19% |
A discount factor of 30% has been applied to the determined fair value due to the lack of marketability, as the options are unlisted and are non-transferable.
C. Employment contracts of directors and senior executives (audited)
The employment arrangements of the directors are not formalised in a contract of employment.

Structure of the Board
The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at the date of the annual report is included in the Directors' Report. Directors of MGM Wireless Limited are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with – or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with – the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgment.
In the context of director independence, 'materiality' is considered from both the company and individual director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal to or less than 5% of the appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount. Qualitative factors considered include whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors that point to the actual ability of the director in question to shape the direction of the company's loyalty.
In accordance with the definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following directors of MGM Wireless Limited are considered to be independent:
| Name | Position |
|---|---|
| John Dawkins | Non-Executive Director |
| Richard Sciano | Non-Executive Director |
There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable directors in the furtherance of their duties to seek independent professional advice at the company's expense.

| Name | Term in Office |
|---|---|
| Mark Fortunatow | Since 3 October 2003 |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2007
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001and Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations). The financial report has also been prepared in accordance with the historical costs convention. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the consolidated entity in the preparation of the financial report.
(b) Adoption of new and revised standards
In the year ended 30 June 2007, 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 2006. 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.
(c) Statement of Compliance
The financial report was authorised for issue on 28 September 2007.
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
(d) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of MGM Wireless Limited ("Company" or "Parent Entity") and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the Group).
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the results of subsidiaries for the period from their acquisition.
(e) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company 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 (at the signing of the legally enforceable contract) has passed to the buyer.
Interest
Control of a right to receive consideration for the provision of, or investment in, assets has been attained. Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.
(f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as described above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(g) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
(h) Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the entities in the group is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange difference arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the income statement.
Translation
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated as follows:
- Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date.
- Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.
- Retained profits are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
- Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the foreign currency reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the operation is disposed.
(i) Income Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
- when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
- when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
- when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
- when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2007
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
(i) Income Tax (Cont.)
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
(j) Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
- when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
- receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(k) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
Plant and equipment – over 5 to 10 years Leasehold improvements – 10 years
The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
(i) Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset's value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.
For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

For the year ended 30 June 2007
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
(k) Plant and equipment (Cont.)
(ii) Derecognition and disposal
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
(l) Intangibles
Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profits in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Such intangibles are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate and is thus accounted for on a prospective basis.
Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred.
An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Any expenditure so capitalised is amortised over the period of expected benefits from the related project.
Change in Accounting Policy
In prior years, development costs have been expensed. The financial effect of recognising development costs as an asset is a reduction of the net loss of $288,883 for this reporting period.
The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development expenditure is tested for impairment annually when the asset is not yet available for use, or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting period.
(m) Impairment of assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2007
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
(m) Impairment of assets (cont.)
Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
(n) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
(o) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate assets but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.
(p) Employee leave benefits
(i) Wages, salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date, They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii) Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and period of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
(q) Share-based payment transactions
The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).
When provided, the cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a black-scholes model.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of MGM Wireless Limited (market conditions) if applicable.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2007
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
(q) Share-based payment transactions (Cont.)
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The income statement charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.
(r) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(s) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:
- costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
- the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
- other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
(t) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group.
Key Estimates – Impairment
The group assess impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may to lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-inuse calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.
No impairment has been recognised in respect of intangible assets, as the value-in-use calculation is greater than the carrying value of the assets.

16. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
The following share-based payment arrangements existed at 30 June 2007:
- During the year ended 30 June 2005, 6,000,000 share options were issued to directors and 3,000,000 to employees and consultants to take up ordinary shares at an exercise price of 3 cents. The options expire on 31 December 2007. All options have vested and are exercisable. 500,000 options have been exercised at balance date.
- During the year ended 30 June 2006, 3,300,000 share options were issued to directors to take up ordinary shares at an exercise price of 7 cents. The options expire on 31 January 2010. All options have vested and are exercisable. No options have been exercised at balance date.
- During the year ended 30 June 2006, 3,000,000 share options were issued to executive directors to take up ordinary shares at an exercise price of 9 cents. The options expire on 31 January 2010. All options have vested and are exercisable. No options have been exercised at balance date.
- During the year ended 30 June 2006, 2,100,000 share options were issued to employees and consultants to take up ordinary shares at an exercise price of 7 cents. The options expire on 31 January 2010. All options have vested and are exercisable. No options have been exercised at balance date.
The Black and Scholes valuation was used to value the options issued as share-based payments. The following factors and assumptions were used in determining the fair value of options on grant date:
| Expiry Date | Fair Value per Option | Exercise Price | Estimated Volatility | Risk Free Interest Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 December 2007 | $0.0029 | $0.03 | 25% | 5.21% |
| 31 January 2010 | $0.0075 | $0.07 | 25% | 5.19% |
| 31 January 2010 | $0.0041 | $0.09 | 25% | 5.19% |
A discount factor of 30% has been applied to the determined fair value due to the lack of marketability, as the options are unlisted and are non-transferable.
The weighted average exercise price of share based payment options that were outstanding was $0.0534.
Included as an expense in the income statement is $Nil (2006: $52,836) and relates, to share based payments made during the year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2007
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted the policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group measures credit risk on a fair value basis. The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to a single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any provisions for losses, represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the fair value of any collateral or other security obtained.
