year ended 30 June 2016 which are in line with management's revised
expectations.
Financial highlights:
-- Decrease in revenues to GBP12.8m (2015: GBP29.1m) caused by
ongoing challenges in the Company's core market of Argentina

investment in new products such as ad-funded services and in
scaling new geographies, particularly India

-- Loss after tax of GBP1.3m (2015 profit of GBP0.3m)
-- Basic loss per share of 3.52p per share (2015: earnings of 0.908p per share)
-- GBP1.4m in cash (2015: GBP2.1m), with no debt. Current cash is GBP1m.
*EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is calculated as profit before
tax, interest, amortisation, depreciation, share compensation
expense and impairment of assets.
Operational highlights:
-- Focused on expansion into India
-- Mobile Streams India Private Limited formed in October 2015
-- Advertised Funded Mobilegaming.com service was launched in
India during February 2016 with the top three Indian mobile
operators
-- More than 75,000 active subscribers in India currently with
an addressable audience from the of c.700 million mobile users -
expected to increase to c.900 million such users by the end of
2016
The full report and accounts for the year ended 30 June 2016
will be sent to shareholders today and will be uploaded to the
Company's website, www.mobilestreams.com, in accordance with AIM
Rule 20.
Simon Buckingham, CEO, said: "Operations in Argentina were
extremely challenging in the year under review. However, this also
presents us with an opportunity as we look to refocus our business
and continue to develop our ad-funded games service and
subscription services in India. These opportunities are potentially
transformational and I am extremely pleased that our active
subscriber numbers in India are growing steadily. We look forward
to updating shareholders with our progress as and when we achieve
incremental subscriber milestones and billing launches in the
coming months."
Outlook
Mobile Streams has focused on three main objectives in its
recent business trading: expansion into India; stabilisation of its
Latin American business primarily in Argentina; and seeking to
minimise net cash outflow. Generally, we have sought to invest the
profits from our relatively mature Argentine operations into
developing the fast growing India business. As previously
announced, in Argentina revenues in the last financial year were in
part adversely impacted by the devaluation of the Argentine peso in
December 2015 as well as a wider slowdown in the mobile
subscription business in the local market.
We formed Mobile Streams India Private Limited in October 2015
to enable Mobile Streams to sign agreements with Indian mobile
network operators (MNOs), device manufacturers (OEM) and other
third parties and this is already proving to be successful.
As per the strategy in Latin America, the focus in India is very
much on the recurrent revenue generating subscription service in
India, with daily and weekly packages both being trialled. Our
ad-funded Mobilegaming.com service was launched in February 2016
with the top three Indian mobile operators with marketing campaigns
coordinated by the same team responsible for the success we have
had in the Latin American region over the past several years.
Active subscriber numbers are steadily growing and now exceed
75,000 in India. Active subscribers are measured as consumers who
have made a purchase from the Company in the country in the past 60
days. For like-for-like comparability, this is the same methodology
the Company uses to measure active subscribers in its other markets
such as Argentina.
Looking ahead to the remainder of 2016 and beyond, our primary
objectives are to secure mobile billing with the leading seven or
eight mobile operators in India, progressively increase marketing
spend to grow the active subscriber base, enhance our content and
service offer by partnering with local Indian companies and the
launch of our browser based games service (utilising HTML5) to
become the leading destination for games in India. Mobile Streams
has recently launched with a fourth carrier billing connection in
India, extending our addressable audience to around 700 million
potential mobile users.
The Company sees potential for browser based gaming in both
Latin America and India. Our newly developed HTML5 content works
well across all devices including Android, Apple, Tizen and Windows
Phone. Devices in emerging markets often have limited memory
capable to store downloadable applications so browser based gaming
is attractive. In addition, as browser based content is not
available from Google Play and the App Store, this provides us with
an important differentiation from these offerings.
The Indian mobile market is growing rapidly, the entrance of
Reliance Jio 4G network into the market this year and the upcoming
spectrum auction means the primary obstacle of poor data
connectivity is being addressed. A report by Business Insider UK
(The Smartphone Mark, by Country: Adoption, Platform and vendor
trends in the US, China and India (1 April 2016)) found that, India
has yet to fulfill its promise as the future engine of smartphone
sales growth, but that could change soon. The report showed that
Smartphones accounted for c.44% of mobile shipments in India in Q2
2016. We are therefore confident in the prospects that the
opportunity in India affords us.

About Mobile Streams:
Mobile Streams licenses and distributes a wide range of mobile
content including games and apps that are retailed around the
world, primarily in emerging markets. The Company's main operations
are in Latin America and in particular Argentina, with recent
expansion into India and Nigeria. Its shares are traded on the AIM
market of the London Stock Exchange under the symbol MOS LN.
Chairman's Statement:
The Board of Mobile Streams plc ("Mobile streams" or "the
company" or "the group") is pleased to present its audited accounts
for the financial year ended 30 June 2016.
The past twelve months has seen Mobile Streams continue with its
strategy to develop a content offering direct to consumers across a
wide range of mobile devices in a number of large emerging markets.
This is in addition to our original business of providing content
to mobile network operators and other business partners. The
operating performance of the business reflects our substantial
position in Argentina which has been a challenging market and the
cost of working with Argentinian currency control rules combined
with a significant devaluation in the Argentinian peso.
Group revenue for the year ended 30 June 2016 was GBP12.8m
(2015: GBP29.1m). Trading EBITDA (calculated as profit before tax,
interest, amortisation, depreciation, share compensation expense
and impairment of assets) was negative GBP0.6m for year (2015:
positive GBP1.1m). Loss before tax was GBP0.7m (2014: GBP0.8m
profit). Much of the reduction in revenues is attributable to
Argentina. Revenue in Argentina (which equates to 88% of our
revenue) on a constant currency basis decreased by 45% from AR$343m
to AR$188m. The challenges in Argentina spurred the Company to
develop new premium content products, advertising funded products,
and to seek to diversify into new emerging markets, specifically
India. Mexico is our second largest market and accounted for around
10.3% of our revenues during the period.
The Directors do not propose a payment of a dividend (2015:
GBPNil). In the new financial year, the majority of revenues are
once again expected to be generated in Latin America and the
majority of the investment will be in India. The Group ended the
year with a net cash balance of GBP1.4m at 30 June 2016 (2015:
GBP2.1m).
The team at Mobile Streams are long established experts in
mobile content and have good contacts with the leading mobile
operators around the world. Despite the challenges in Argentina,
the Board believes that the Group has the potential to deliver
growth in shareholder returns with established and newly developed
advertising funded and premium products using our strong trading
relationships in developing markets. If we feel we need to
accelerate our growth in India this is likely to require additional
investment from a joint venture partner or from shareholders.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Mobile Streams PLC (AIM: MOS), the global mobile media company,
is pleased to provide an update to its shareholders on its
performance for the 12 months ended 30 June 2016.
BUSINESS REVIEW
Operating review
Mobile Streams' performance during the financial year ended 30
June 2016 was driven primarily from its Mobile Internet sales in
Latin America.
Group revenue for the year ended 30 June 2016 was GBP12.8m. The
gross profit was GBP3.5m and decreased by 54% during the year (year
ended 30 June 2015: GBP7.7m). The gross profit margin increased
from 26.4% to 27.6% as a result of decreased marketing (direct to
consumer) costs related to its Mobile Internet division.
Selling and marketing expenses were GBP1.3m, a 61% decrease on
the year ended 30 June 2015. Revenues are generated from two
principal business activities: the sale of mobile content through
mobile operators (Mobile Operator Sales); and the sale of mobile
content over the internet (Mobile Internet Sales). Additionally,
the Group is engaged in the provision of consulting and technical
services (Other Service Fees).
During the period, both the Group's Mobile Internet revenues and
its Mobile Operator revenues decreased. As consumers steadily
update their phones from legacy feature and flip phone models to
smartphones, they have generally used the operator content portals
less. Consumers generally use independent portals, as well as the
open mobile internet, more actively.
The Argentine peso suffered a devaluation against the British
Pound during the year (28% for the 12 months ended on 30 June
2016). The financial results and balances of all group entities
that have a functional currency different from the presentation
currency are translated into the presentation currency, and these
exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of
equity (cumulative translation reserve). The devaluation of the
Argentine Peso has a direct impact in the revenue and the gross
profit of the subsidiary, either through the translation to British
pounds and by the impact that the currency level has on local
inflation and consumers spending level.
Mobile Internet sales
The Group anticipated the shift to the open Mobile Internet
business model several years ago and added new products at new
price points in new markets.
The Group experienced growth and then stabilisation in 2013 to
2014 in Mobile Internet sales as consumers used their mobile
devices to purchase mobile content subscriptions. After that, the
business model (based on Mobile Internet) shifted to a model based
on the operator platforms and the revenue based on internet
decreased. This was mostly the result of the devaluation of the
Argentine peso during the 2014 to 2016 financial years, resulting
in a fall in sales.
Latin America, primarily Argentina, accounted for the majority
of revenues.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Mobile Operator sales
The Group has several contracts with mobile operators that allow
the distribution of content through their mobile portals, although
the revenue has been reduced by more than 56% year on year
partially because of the fact that consumers prefer to use the open
mobile internet services on their smartphones and partly because of
our own increased focus on Mobile Internet services.
There was a reduction in the number of consumer visitors to
these portals, which has been a continuing trend for several years.
Our teams share and implement the best retailing practices in order
to increase the conversion of visitors into customers to mitigate
the natural decline in this revenue stream as the market
changes.
Financial review
Group revenue for the year ended 30 June 2016 was GBP12.8m, a
56% decrease on the previous year (2015: GBP29.1m).
Gross profit was GBP3.5m, a decrease of 54% during the year
(2015: GBP7.7m). The gross profit margin increased from 26.4% to
27.6% due to decreased marketing (Direct to Consumer) costs related
to Mobile Internet.
Selling, marketing and administrative expenses were GBP4.2m, a
37% decrease on the year ended 30 June 2015 (2015: GBP6.6m).
The Group recorded a loss after tax of GBP1.3m. for the year
ended 30 June 2016 (2015 profit: GBP337k). Basic earnings per share
decreased to a loss of 3.52 pence per share (2015: earnings of
0.908 pence per share). Adjusted earnings per share (excluding
interest, depreciation, amortisation, impairments and share
compensation expense) decreased to a loss of 2.97 pence per share
(2015: earnings of 1.56 pence per share).
The Group had cash of GBP1.4m at 30 June 2016, with no debt
(GBP2.1m of cash with no debt as at 30 June 2015). Argentina cash
was GBP1.2m at 30 June 2016 (2015: GBP80k).

STRATEGIC REPORT
Key performance indicators ("KPI's")
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue is a measure of our
profitability. Gross profit was GBP3.5m. for the year ended on 30
June 2016. The KPIs used by the Group are Trading EBITDA, variance
in revenue and gross profit. Management review these on a regular
basis, largely by reference to budgets and reforecasts. Trading
EBITDA was a loss of GBP0.6m for the year ended on June 2016, and
it was a profit of GBP1.1m for the year ended in June 2015.
Earnings before tax, interest, amortisation, depreciation, share
compensation expense and impairment of assets (Trading EBITDA)
measured exactly as stated. All tax, interest, amortisation,
depreciation, share compensation expense and impairment of assets
entries in the income statement are added back to profit after tax
in calculating this measure.
Growth in revenue is a measure of how we are building our
business. Our goal is to achieve year-on-year growth. Although
revenue decreased 56% during the year, like-for-like revenue on a
constant currency basis actually decreased by 45%.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue is a measure of our
profitability. Gross profit was 27.6% for the year ended in June
2016, an increase of 1.2% (2015: 26.4%).
Strategy
Our business model is generating revenues though relationships
with mobile operators and content aggregators and retailing
directly to the consumer. Mobile Streams have developed expertise
in selling content to consumers in developing markets. Our results
have suffered from the currency issues described.
Mobile Streams has focused on three main objectives in its
recent business trading: expansion into India; stabilisation of its
Latin American business primarily in Argentina; and seeking to
minimise net cash outflow. Generally, we have sought to invest the
gross profits from our Argentine operations into developing the
India business whilst seeking to maintain cash balances around the
current levels. As previously announced, in Argentina revenues in
the last financial year were in part adversely impacted by the
devaluation of the Argentine peso in December 2015 as well as a
wider slowdown in the mobile subscription business in the local
market.
In India, we formed Mobile Streams India Private Limited in
October 2015 to enable Mobile Streams to sign agreements with
Indian mobile network operators (MNOs), device manufacturers (OEM)
and other third parties. As per the strategy in Latin America, the
focus is very much on the recurrent revenue generating subscription
service in India, with daily and weekly packages both being
trialed. Our Mobilegaming.com service was launched in February 2016
with the top three Indian mobile operators with marketing campaigns
coordinated by the same team responsible for the success we have
had in the Latin America region over the past several years. Active
subscriber numbers are steadily growing and now exceed 75,000 in
India. Active subscribers are measured as consumers who have made a
purchase from the Company in the country in the past 60 days. For
like-for-like comparability, this is the same methodology the Group
uses to measure subscribers in its other markets such as
Argentina.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The nature of the Group's business and strategy makes it subject
to a number of risks.
The Directors have set out below the principal risks facing the
business.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Contracts with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)
While Mobile Streams maintains relationships with numerous MNOs
in the various territories, a small number of operators account for
a high portion of the Group's business.
Contracts with rights holders
The majority of content provided by Mobile Streams is licensed
from rights holders. While Mobile Streams is not dependent on any
single rights holder for its entertainment content, termination,
non-renewal or significant renegotiation of a contract could result
in lower revenue.
The Group continues to enter into new content licensing
arrangements to mitigate these risks.
Competition
Competition from alternative providers could adversely affect
operating results through either price pressures, or lost custom.
Products and pricing of competitors are continuously monitored to
ensure the Group is able to react quickly to changes in the
market.
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates
Approximately 99% of the Group's revenue relates to operations
outside the UK. The Group is therefore exposed to foreign currency
fluctuations and the financial condition of the Group may be
adversely impacted by foreign currency fluctuations. See note on
page 9 "Financial risk management objectives and policies".
The Group has operations in Europe, Asia Pacific, North America
and Latin America and recently in India. As a result, it faces both
translation and transaction currency risks.
Currency exposure is not currently hedged, though the Board
continuously reviews its foreign currency risk exposure and
potential means of combating this risk.
Dependencies on key executives and personnel
The success of the business is substantially dependent on the
Executive Directors and senior management team.
The Group has incentivised all key and senior personnel with
share options and has taken out a Key Man insurance policy on its
Chief Executive Officer, Simon Buckingham.
Intellectual property rights
The protracted and costly nature of litigation may make it
difficult to take a swift or decisive action to prevent
infringement of the Group's intellectual property rights.
Although the Directors believe that the Group's content and
technology platform and other intellectual property rights do not
infringe the IP rights of others, third-parties may assert claims
of infringement which could be expensive to defend or settle. The
Group holds suitable insurance to reduce the risk and extent of
financial loss.
Technology risk
A significant portion of the future revenues are dependent on
the Group's technology platforms. Instability or interruption of
availability for an extended period could have an adverse impact on
the Group's financial position.
Mobile Streams has invested in resilient hardware architecture
and continues to maintain software control processes to minimise
this risk.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Management controls and reporting procedures and execution
The ability of the Group to implement its strategy in a
competitive market requires effective planning and management
control systems. The Group's future growth will depend upon its
ability to expand whilst improving exposure to operational,
financial and management risk.
Going concern risk
The current uncertain economic climate and changing market place
may impact the Group's cash flows and thereby its ability to pay
its creditors as they fall due.
A principal responsibility of management is to manage liquidity
risk, as detailed in note 24 to the financial statements. The Group
uses annual budgeting, forecasting and regular performance reviews
to assess the longer term profitability of the Group and make
strategic and commercial changes as required ensuring cash
resources are maintained. Although there was a significant fall in
revenues and a loss for the year ending 30 June 2016, having
initiated significant cost saving actions after the end of the
reporting period (see note 25) and reviewed the resulting cash flow
forecasts for the 12-month period from date of approval of these
Financial Statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation
that the Group has sufficient resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group uses various financial instruments. These include cash
and various items, such as trade receivables and trade payables
that arise directly from its operations. The numerical disclosures
relating to these policies are set out in notes to the financial
statements.
The existence of these financial instruments exposes the Group
to a number of financial risks, which are described in more detail
below. The Group does not currently use derivative products to
manage foreign currency or interest rate risks.
The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments
are market risk, currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The
Directors review and agree policies for managing each of these
risks and they are summarised below. These policies have remained
unchanged from previous periods.
Market risk
Market risk encompasses three types of risk, being currency
risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk. In this review
interest rate and price risk have been ignored as they are not
considered material risks to the business.
Liquidity risk
The Group seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient
liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash
assets safely and profitably.
The Group currently has no borrowing arrangements in place and
prepares cash flow forecasts which are reviewed at Board meetings
to monitor liquidity.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Credit risk
The Group's principal financial assets are bank deposits, cash
and trade receivables. The credit risk associated with the bank
deposits and cash is limited as the counterparties have high credit
ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The
principal credit risk arises therefore from the Group's trade
receivables. Most of the Group's trade receivables are large mobile
network operators or media groups. Whilst historically credit risk
has been low management continuously monitors its financial assets
and performs credit checks on prospective partners.

The Argentina Division delivered a decreased revenue performance
according to the projections. The division represented 88% of the

Argentina revenue decreased 45% in Argentine Pesos terms; from

figures shows a 56% decrease in revenue; from GBP25.3m to
GBP11.2m.
Future developments
Looking ahead to the remainder of 2016 and beyond, our primary
objectives are to secure mobile billing with the leading seven or
eight mobile operators in India, progressively increase marketing
spend to grow the subscriber base, enhance our content and service
offer by partnering with local Indian companies and launching our
browser based (utilising HTML5) games service to become the leading
destination for games in India. Mobile Streams has recently gone
live with a fourth carrier billing connection in India, extending
our addressable audience to around 700 million potential mobile
users. The Indian mobile market is growing rapidly, the entrance of
Reliance Jio 4G network into the market this year and the upcoming
spectrum auction means the primary obstacle of poor data
connectivity is being addressed.
The Company sees potential for browser based gaming in both
Latin America and India. This HTML5 content works well across all
devices including Android, Apple, Tizen and Windows Phone. Devices
in emerging markets often have limited memory capable to store
downloadable applications so browser based gaming is attractive in
the region. Browser based content is not available from Google Play
and the App Store, providing differentiation from these competing
offerings.

Events after the reporting period
Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, in response to
the fall in revenues and the loss incurred for the year ending 30
June 2016, the group initiated a significant restructuring and cost
cutting exercise to bring running costs in line with current levels
of revenue. These actions include bringing staff numbers down to 14
from 23 in Argentina, closing the Hong Kong office and reducing
office space, server and fees for professional services. The cost
of implementing these changes is expected to be approximately
GBP0.27m.
DIRECTORS' REPORT
Going Concern
The Group had cash balances of GBP1.4m at the year-end (2015:
GBP2.1m) and no borrowings. Although there was a significant fall
in revenues and a loss for the year ending 30 June 2016, having
initiated significant cost saving actions after the end of the
reporting period (see note 25) and reviewed the resulting cash flow
forecasts for the 12-month period from date of approval of these
Financial Statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation
that the Group has sufficient resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. The Board consider Mobile
Streams to be a going concern. No material uncertainties or events
that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern have been identified by the
Directors.
Directors' responsibilities statement

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the parent
company and all of its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 30 June
2016. They have been prepared in accordance with applicable
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU
and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to
companies reporting under IFRS. All references to IFRS in these
statements refer to IFRS as adopted by the EU.
The historical cost convention has been applied as set out in
the accounting policies.
Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power
to govern the operating and financial policies generally
accompanying a shareholding of more than half of the voting rights.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control
is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date
on which control is lost.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on
transactions between group companies are eliminated in full.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction
provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
Subsidiaries' accounting policies have been changed where necessary
to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The separate financial statements and related notes of the
Company are presented on pages 50-56, which are prepared in
accordance with FRS 101.
Foreign currency translation
(a) Presentational currency
The consolidated and parent company financial statements are
presented in British pounds. The functional currency of the parent
entity is also British pounds.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date the
transaction occurs. Any exchange gains or losses resulting from
these transactions and the translation of monetary assets and
liabilities at the balance sheet date are recognised in the income
statement, except to the extent that a monetary asset or liability
represents a net investment in a subsidiary when exchange
differences arising on translation are recognised in equity within
the translation reserve. Amount due from or to subsidiaries are
treated as part of net investment in the subsidiary when settlement
is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable
future.
Foreign currency balances are translated at the year-end using
exchange rate prevailing at the year-end.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(c) Group companies
The financial results and position of all group entities that
have a functional currency different from the presentation currency
of the Group are translated into the presentation currency as
follows:
i assets and liabilities for each balance sheet are translated
at the closing exchange rate at the date of the balance sheet
ii income and expenses for each income statement are translated
at average exchange rates (unless it is not a reasonable
approximation to the exchange rate at the date of transaction)
iii all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a
separate component of equity (cumulative translation reserve)
Property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment (PPE) is stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the purchase of the
items.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of property,
plant and equipment less estimated residual value on a straight
line basis over its estimated useful life. The following rates and
methods have been applied:
Plant and
equipment 33% straight line
Between 10% and
Office furniture 33% straight line
Each asset's residual value and useful life is reviewed, and
adjusted if required, at each balance sheet date. The carrying
amount of an asset is written down immediately to its recoverable
amount if the carrying amount is greater than its estimated
recoverable amount.
Gains/losses on disposal of assets are determined by comparing
proceeds received to the carrying amount. Any gain/loss is
recognised in the income statement.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern
The Group had cash balances of GBP1.4m at the year-end (2015:
GBP2.1m) and no borrowings. Although there was a significant fall
in revenues and a loss for the year ending 30 June 2016, having
initiated significant cost saving actions after the end of the
reporting period (see note 25) and reviewed the resulting cash flow
forecasts for the 12-month period from date of approval of these
Financial Statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation
that the Group has sufficient resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. The Board consider Mobile
Streams to be a going concern. No material uncertainties or events
that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern have been identified by the
Directors.

Financial Statements
Intangible assets
(a) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business
combination over the fair value of net identifiable assets of the
acquired entity at the date of acquisition. This goodwill for
subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is tested
annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units
for impairment testing.
(b) Assets acquired through business combinations
These consist of customer relationships, technology based assets
and non-compete agreements acquired through business combinations.
To meet this definition, the intangibles must be identifiable
either by being separable, or by arising from contractual or other
legal rights. Intangibles acquired through business combinations
are recognised at fair value. Where a reliable estimate of useful
life of the intangible can be obtained, the intangible asset is to
be amortised using the straight line basis, over the useful life.
Where there is an indication of impairment of intangibles, the
intangible will be tested for impairment. The estimated useful
lives of these assets are:
Customer relationships 3 years
Technology based
assets 3 years
Non-compete agreements 3.5 years
(c) Media content and Media platform development
Media content and Media platform development represent
intangible assets that have been acquired from third parties and
also that are internally generated, including capitalised direct
staff costs. Content and platform expenditure is charged against
income in the year in which it is incurred unless it meets the
recognition criteria of IAS 38 Intangible Assets. To meet the
criteria of an intangible asset the Group must demonstrate the
following criteria:
- the technical feasibility of completing the asset so that it will be available for use,
- its intention to complete the intangible (or sell it),
- its ability to use or sell the intangible,
- that the intangible will generate future economic benefit,
- that adequate resources are available to complete the intangible, and
- the expenditure can be reliably measured.
Intangible assets, if capitalised, are amortised on a
straight-line basis over the period of the expected benefit.
Amortisation commences when the asset is ready for use.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(d) Appitalism
Appitalism development represents intangible assets that have
been internally generated, including capitalised direct staff
costs. To meet the intangible asset criteria the group must
demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the asset so
that it will be available for use, its intention to complete the
intangible (or sell it), its ability to use or sell the intangible,
that the intangible will generate future economic benefit, adequate
resources to complete the intangible and the expenditure can be
reliably measured. Intangible assets, if capitalised, are amortised
on a straight line basis, and reviewed annually for indicators of
impairment.
(e) Software
Software represents assets that have been acquired from third
parties. To meet the criteria for recognition the intangible asset
must be both identifiable and either separable, or arise from
contractual or other legal rights. Intangible assets acquired from
third parties are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses. Where a reliable estimate of useful life of the
intangible can be obtained, the intangible asset is to be amortised
using the straight line basis, over the useful life. Where there is
an indication of impairment of intangible assets with a definite
life, the intangible will be tested for impairment. The estimated
useful life of acquired software is 2 years.
Amortisation is included in "Administrative expenses" in the
income statement.
Impairment of assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, such as goodwill,
are not subject to amortisation, but are instead tested annually
for impairment and also tested whenever an event or change in
situation indicates that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. Assets that are subject to amortisation are also
tested for impairment whenever an event or change in situation
indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An
impairment loss is recognised in the income statement as the amount
by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is determined by the higher of the
fair value of an asset less costs to sell and the value in use. In
order to assess impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels
for which separate cash flows can be identified (cash generating
units).
Impairment charges are included in the "Administrative expenses"
in the income statement.
Taxation
Current tax is the tax currently payable based on taxable profit
for the year.
Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on
temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated
financial statements. However, deferred tax is not provided on the
initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of
an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business
combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on
temporary differences associated with shares in subsidiaries is not
provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be
controlled by the Group and it is probable that reversal will not
occur in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates known by the
balance sheet date and that are expected to apply when the deferred
income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability
is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be
available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full. There is no
discounting of assets or liabilities.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as
a component of the tax expense in the income statements, except
where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to
equity or other comprehensive income, in which case the related
deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity or
other comprehensive income.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Provisions
Provisions, including those for legal claims, are recognised
when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a
result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount
can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's
best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present
obligation at the balance sheet date. The discount rate used to
determine the present value reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the
liability.
Financial Assets
a) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits
held with financial institutions and other 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.
b) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are included in trade and other receivables in
the balance sheet. Trade receivables are recognised initially at
fair value and later measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less any provision for impairment. An impairment
provision for trade receivables is established when there is
objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all
amounts due according to the terms of the receivables. The
provision is calculated as the difference between the receivable's
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash
flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of
an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in
the income statement. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously
written off are credited in the income statement
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are obligations to pay cash or deliver
other financial assets and are recognised when the Group becomes a
party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All
financial liabilities are recorded initially at fair value, net of
direct issue costs.
A financial liability is derecognised only when the obligation
is extinguished, that is, when the obligation is discharged or
cancelled or expires.
The Group's financial liabilities consist of trade and other
payables, which are measured subsequent to initial recognition at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
All interest-related charges are reported in the income
statement as finance costs.
Revenue recognition
As at 30 June 2016, the Group was organised into four
geographical segments: Europe, North America, Latin America, and
Asia Pacific. Revenues are from external customers only and are
generated from three principal business activities: the sale of
mobile content through Mobile Operator Services (Mobile Operator
Sales), the sale of mobile content over the internet (Mobile
Internet Sales) and the provision of consulting and technical
services (Other Service Fees).
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue includes the fair value of sale of goods and services,
net of value added tax, rebates and discounts and after eliminating
intercompany sales within the Group. Revenue is recognised as
follows:
a) Mobile Operator Sales & Mobile Internet Sales
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when a Group entity
has delivered media content to the end consumer, who has accepted
the product and collectability of the related receivable is
reasonably assured from the customer.
b) Other Service Fees
Revenue is recognised in the accounting period in which the
services are rendered, by reference to the stage of completion of
the specific transaction, on the basis of the actual service
provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided.
c) Interest Income
Interest receivable is recognised in the income statement using
the effective interest method. If the collection of interest is
considered doubtful, it is deferred and excluded from interest
income in the income statement.
d) Deferred Income
Revenue that has been collected from customers but where the
above conditions are not met is recorded in the Statement of
Financial Position under accruals and deferred income and released
to the income statement when the conditions are met.
Share based payments
Employees (including Directors) of the Group receive
remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions,
whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights
over shares ('equity-settled transactions').
The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based
Payments to all grants of equity instruments.
The cost of equity settled transactions with employees is
measured by reference to the fair value at the grant date of the
equity instruments granted. The fair value is determined by using
the Black-Scholes model.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised in the
income statement, together with a corresponding increase in
retained earnings, over the periods in which the performance
conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant
employees become fully entitled to the award ('vesting date'). At
each balance sheet date before vesting the cumulative expense is
calculated, representing the extent to which the vesting period has
expired and management's best estimate of the achievement or
otherwise of non-market conditions and of the number of equity
instruments that will ultimately vest. Market conditions are taken
into account in determining the fair value of the options granted,
at grant date, and are subsequently not adjusted for. The movement
in cumulative expense since the previous balance sheet date is
recognised in the income statement, with a corresponding entry in
equity.
No expense or increase in equity is recognised for awards that
do not ultimately vest. Awards where vesting is conditional upon a
market condition are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or
not the market condition is satisfied, provided that all other
performance conditions are satisfied.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are
charged to the share premium account.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Leased assets
In accordance with IAS 17, all the Group's leases are determined
to be operating leases and the payments made under them are charged
to the income statement on a straight line basis over the lease
term. Lease incentives are spread over the term of the lease.
Operating leases are leases in which the risks and rewards of
ownership are not transferred to the lessee.
Equity balances
a) Called up share capital
Called up share capital represents the aggregate nominal value
of ordinary shares in issue.
b) Share premium
The share premium account represents the incremental paid up
capital above the nominal value of ordinary shares issued.
c) Translation Reserve
The translation reserve represents the cumulative translation
adjustments on translation of foreign operations. Please refer to
the page 30 for the judgment and estimates disclosure.

1. General information
Mobile Streams Plc (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together
'the Group') sell digital content, primarily for distribution on
wireless devices. The Group has subsidiaries in Europe, Asia, North
America and Latin America. The Group has made various strategic
acquisitions to build its market share in these regions.
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and
domiciled in the United Kingdom. The address of its registered
office is 125 Wood Street, London, EC2V 7AW.
The Company is listed on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative
Investment Market.
These consolidated financial statements have been approved for
issue by the Board of Directors on 9 November 2016.
2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are evaluated on a regular basis and
are based on historical experience and other factors, such as
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances.
2.1 Critical accounting estimates, judgements and
assumptions
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future.
These estimates, by definition, will rarely equal the related
actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year
are discussed below.
Estimates
(a) Accrued revenue and accrued content costs
Estimation is required by management to determine the value of
accrued revenue and accrued content cost liability which is based
on the content delivery to its customers. Due to the timing of
confirmation of delivery of content to its customers from the
service providers, management estimation is applied to determine
the level of accrued revenue and accrued content liability to be
recognised within the financial statements until confirmation is
received.
Judgement
(b) Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions.
Judgement is required in determining the worldwide provision for
income taxes. There are many transactions/calculations for which
the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary
course of business. Where the final tax outcome is different to
what is initially recorded, such differences will impact the income
tax and deferred tax provisions.
(c) Deferred taxation
Judgement is required by management in determining whether the
Group should recognise a deferred tax asset. Management consider
whether there is sufficient certainty its tax losses available to

18. SHARE CAPITAL
The Company only has one class of share. The total number of
shares in issue as at 30 June 2016 is 37,114,283 (30 June 2015:
37,114,283) with a par value of GBP0.002 per share. All issued
shares are fully paid.
The Group's main source of capital is the parent company's
equity shares. The policy which is met by the Group is to retain
sufficient authorised share capital so as to be able to issue
further shares to fund acquisitions, settle share based
transactions and raise new funds. Share based payments relate to
employee share options schemes. The schemes have restrictions on
headroom so as not to dilute the value of issued shares of the
Company. The Group has not raised debt financing in the past and
expects not to do so in the future.

Other Reserves
Share Premium Account
The balance in the share premium account represents the proceeds
received above the nominal value on the issue of the Company's
equity share capital.
Translation Reserve
The Translation reserve contains the exchange differences
arising on translating foreign operations.
19. Share based payments
The Group operates three share option incentive plans - an
Enterprise Management Incentive Scheme, a Global Share Option Plan
and an ISO Sub Plan - in order to attract and retain key staff. The
remuneration committee can grant options over shares in the Company
to employees of the Group. Options are granted with a fixed
exercise price equal to the market price of the shares under option
at the date of grant and are equity settled, the contractual life
of an option is 10 years. Exercise of an option is subject to
continued employment. Options are valued at date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model.
On 12 July 2013, 2,383,594 options were granted to Company
personnel. Strike value was 0.70 per option.
The volatility of the Company's share price on the date of grant
was calculated as the average of volatilities of share prices of
companies in the Peer Group on the corresponding date. The
volatility of share price of each company in the Peer Group was
calculated as the average of annualised standard deviations of
daily continuously compounded returns on the Company's stock,
calculated over 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years back from the date of grant,
where applicable. The risk-free rate is the yield to maturity on
the date of grant of a UK Gilt Strip, with term to maturity equal
to the life of the option. The expected life of an employee share
option is 5 years.
Share options in issue at the year-end under the various schemes
are:
1. Personal to the Option Holder and are not transferable, or assignable.
2. Shall not be exercisable on or after the tenth anniversary of the grant date.
3. Subject to the rules of the Plans, the Options shall Vest as
follows - Options vest at 33.3% per year:
l 33.3% vest on the First Anniversary of the grant of option;
l A second 33.3% vest on the Second Anniversary of the grant of option; and
l The last 33.33% vest on the Third Anniversary of the grant of option.

the Board and focuses on actively securing the Group's short to
medium term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial
markets. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is
exposed are described below. Also refer to the accounting
policies.
Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to transaction foreign exchange risk. The
currencies where the Group is most exposed to volatility are US
Dollars, Australian Dollars, Argentine Peso, Mexican Peso and
Colombian Peso.
Currently, there is generally an alignment of assets and
liabilities in a particular market and no hedging instruments are
used. In Latin American markets cash in excess of working capital
is converted into a hard currency such as US Dollars, except in
Argentina, where domestic regulations prevented companies from
acquiring US Dollars until December 2015. Given this situation, the
Argentine subsidiary is considering other alternatives to hedge a
possible devaluation of local currency. The Company will continue
to review its currency risk position as the overall business
profile changes.
Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities,
which are all short-term in nature and translated into local
currency at the closing rate, are as follows.

25. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, in response to
the fall in revenues and the loss incurred for the year ending 30
June 2016, the group initiated a significant restructuring and cost
cutting exercise to bring running costs in line with current levels
of revenue. These actions include bringing staff numbers down to 14
from 23 in Argentina, closing the Hong Kong office and reducing
office space, server and fees for professional services. The cost
of implementing these changes is expected to be approximately
GBP0.27m.

summary of significant accounting policies
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
applicable accounting standards and in accordance with Financial
Reporting Standard 101 - "Reduced Disclosure Framework" (FRS 101)
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
these financial statements are set out below. These policies have
all been applied consistently throughout the year unless otherwise
stated.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost
basis The financial statements are presented in Sterling (GBP) and
have been presented in round thousands (GBP'000) This is the first
year in which the financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with FRS 101. The date of transition to FRS 101 is 1
July 2014. There are no measurement differences from the previous
accounting framework adopted Disclosure exemptions adopted.
In preparing these financial statements the Company has taken
advantage of all disclosure exemptions conferred by FRS 101.
Therefore these financial statements do not include:
1. A statement of cash flows and related notes
2. The requirements of IAS 24 related party disclosures to
disclose related party transactions entered in to between two or
more members of the group as they are wholly owned within the
group.
3. The effect of future accounting standards not adopted.
4. Certain share based payment disclosures.
5. Disclosures in relation to impairment of assets.
6. Disclosures in respect of financial instruments (other than
disclosures required as a result of recording financial instruments
at fair value) .
Additionally, the consolidated Group prepares accounts under
IFRS which should be read in conjunction with these statements.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical
cost basis. The principal accounting policies are set out below.
The company has applied the exemption under section 408 of the
Companies Act 2006 and has not included the individual profit and
loss account statement in the financial statements.
Investments IN SUBSIDIARIES
Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the Company's balance
sheet at cost less provisions for impairment.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences where the
transactions or events that give the Company an obligation to pay
more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future,
have occurred by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are
recognised when it is more likely than not that they will be
recovered.
Deferred tax is measured using rates of tax that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the
exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the
rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All exchange
differences are dealt with through the profit and loss account.
OPERATING LEASES
Rentals in respect of leases are charged to the profit and loss
account in equal amounts over the lease term.
Share based payments
Employees (including Directors) of the Group receive
remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions,
whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights
over shares ('equity-settled transactions').
Equity settled transactions
The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 "Share Based
Payments" to all grants of equity instruments.
The cost of equity settled transactions with employees is
measured by reference to the fair value at the grant date of the
equity instruments granted. The fair value is determined by using
the Black-Scholes model.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together
with a corresponding increase in retained earnings, over the
periods in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending
on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled
to the award ('vesting date'). At each balance sheet date before
vesting, the cumulative expense is calculated, representing the
extent to which the vesting period has expired and management's
best estimate of the achievement or otherwise of non-market
conditions and of the number of equity instruments that will
ultimately vest. Market conditions are taken into account in
determining the fair value of options granted, at grant date, and
are not subsequently adjusted for. The movement in cumulative
expense since the previous balance sheet date is recognised in the
income statement, with a corresponding entry in equity.
No expense or increase in equity is recognised for awards that
do not ultimately vest. Awards where vesting is conditional upon a
market condition are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or
not the market condition is satisfied, provided that all other
performance conditions are satisfied.
COMpany profit and loss account
The parent Company has taken advantage of Section 408 of the
Companies Act 2006 and has not included its own profit and loss
account in these financial statements. The parent Company's
recognized loss for the year ended June 30 2016 was GBP
182,413.
