ASX Release MGM Wireless Ltd Tuesday August 30, 2011

MGM WIRELESS ACHIEVES RECORD PROFIT

School communications group MGM Wireless Ltd is pleased report that it achieved a record net profit for the year ended 30 June 2011 of $256,944, a 27% increase over the prior year. Revenue for the year was 5% higher at $2.4 million. The number of operational schools increased by 21% to 698 including 30 in New Zealand.

During the year, the company invested record amounts in R&D to develop a range of new products as well as enhancements to existing flagship products that improved functionality and extend their product life-cycles. New products will be progressively released throughout the coming year.

Further operational improvements were achieved by introducing new technology and streamlining processes in customer service systems, new customer implementation methodologies and back-end infrastructure. These resulted in significant efficiency and cost improvements which contributed to the much improved margins, despite pressure on pricing.

A major achievement during the year was the launch of School News Channel, our school based SMS social networking platform, which will create considerable opportunities schools to develop their engagement with their stakeholder communities, including parents, grandparents and former students. This is a subscription, micropayment based service which is expected to be a major contributor to growth over the next few years. A range of subscription based services are expected to become a significant feature of our revenue base over the next few years.

MGM Wireless Limited Commentary on Results For the Year Ended 30 June 2011

MGM Wireless Ltd is pleased to report that during the period, the Company achieved its previously stated goals of maintaining and improving revenue growth whilst simultaneously improving operations to increase profit, improve cash flow and strengthen its balance sheet.

During 2011, the Company invested a record amount of $635,985 on its R&D programs, of which $195,145 was capitalised. All of the programs were funded by operations. This significant investment was made in a range of new products as well as on existing flagship products which resulted in improved functionality, extension of product lifecycle and migrating to new technology platforms such as the cloud. The company believes this investment positions the company well for the future and will lead to further revenue and profit growth and create opportunities for the company to enter other markets and deliver new services.

Further operational improvements were achieved by introducing new technology and streamlining processes in customer service systems, new customer implementation methodologies and back-end infrastructure. These resulted in significant efficiency and cost improvements which in turn attributed to the improved profit results.

Key financial results for the year include:

  1. EBITDA profit 21% improvement to $565,592 (2010 result $467,006)

  2. Net profit 27% improvement to $256,944 (2010 result $202,985)

  3. Revenue for the full year was 5% higher at $2,390,487 (2010 result $2,270,678).

  4. Customer base of operational schools grew by by 21% to a total of 698 schools (2010 result 575).

  5. For the six months to June 30, 2011 an EBITDA profit of $368,390,(2010: $353,347) with a net profit of $211,934 (2010 result $198,142).

  6. For the six months to June 30, 2011, the company grew its customer base of operational schools by 25 % or 138 new schools, as compared to a fall of 3% and 15 schools for the six months to December 31, 2010.

The number of schools for the first half was affected by the timing of the transition of NSW Sydney region schools from a group supply arrangement through the region with MGM Wireless to each school that elects to do so, contracting individually with MGM Wireless. This transition was in progress in late December 2010 and was not completed until the second half of the year.

Balance Sheet

The company improved its net asset position by $448,498 from $199,404 to $647,902.

Total current liabilities were 45% lower than in 2010 at $983,232 which included $172,928 for unearned revenue and accrued SMS charges of $172,802. Trade payables were $209,053.

Revenue growth for the year ended June 2011 has not increased in direct correlation with the growth in school numbers, reflecting the nature of modern business models that utilize webbased technology to lower service delivery costs, enabling services to be offered with more competitive pricing without affecting profit margins or service quality. This has also had an impact on revenues when existing customers renew their multi-year contracts.

Appendix 4E – Page 5

Appendix 4E Preliminary final report Period ending 30 June 2011

Progress has been made throughout 2011 in building a solid footprint in the NZ market. At 30 June 2011, 72 schools had been signed of which 42 remain to be installed (not included in the school numbers above). This market presence will provide a valuable base, and provide significant opportunities to sell upgrades and new feature rich products to the whole NZ market as schools will no longer be tied to the product mandated by the former Government contract.

During the half year ended 30 June 2011, MGM Wireless completed the redesign and rebuild of its backend communication and billing infrastructure to support growth in communication volumes with the release of its new products and to improve management and customer service functionality for its existing systems. The rebuild included the move of its infrastructure to a high-security data-hosting facility in Sydney, and new functionality to support cloud server technology. This development has improved the security, scalability, reliability and data redundancy of MGM Wireless’s services.

During the financial year the re-purchase of the WA distribution licenses for $260,000 was finalised, meaning the Company now receives 100% of all customer license fees generated in this territory. This will also attribute to further improved profit and cashflow growth into the future, and allow greater marketing flexibility by being able to directly operate into this territory.

The 30 June closing cash balance of $ 108,000 was somewhat lower than usual, a temporary anomaly due to delays in cash receipts from customer contracts at the end of the quarter which was happened to be the start of the school holiday period and associated school closures. There was also a delay in the receipt of its R&D grant income of $273,000.

The Company is pleased with the progress achieved in 2011. The company is well positioned for the future, with ongoing profitable operations from existing products and new revenue opportunities and further associated profit growth with the release of its new products latter this year.
