The full report and accounts for the year ended 30 June 2018
will be sent to shareholders shortly and will be uploaded to the
Company's website, www.mobilestreams.com, in accordance with AIM
Rule 20.
Simon Buckingham, CEO, said: "We announced that trading
conditions in Argentina were extremely challenging in the year
under review as a result of macroeconomic conditions and regulation
in the local market for mobile content subscriptions. These
conditions are continuing but we are confident that our strong
relationship with our carrier billing partner, which remains very
supportive of our business, will enable us to manage this.
"In India, we announced that trading has been impacted by the
further consolidation of the mobile operator market, in addition to
downturn in revenues experienced by the operators since the launch
of the newest entrant to the market. In spite of the challenges
posed by the current conditions, revenues continue to increase
quarter by quarter, meanwhile margin has improved as our marketing
strategy has aligned more with those of the key local
competitors."
"The current situation in India has enabled us to focus our
marketing investment with those partners that have generated
positive results, while preparing for the commercial launch of the
new operator in the market. This partnership promises a positive
shift in the company's fortunes in the market as they have
revolutionized the telecom market since launch two years ago. We
look forward to updating shareholders with our progress in the
coming months."
Outlook
Mobile Streams has focused on two main objectives in its recent
business trading: grow the subscriber base in India in order to
increase revenue and establish new partnerships with key companies
in the market.
Developments within the Indian telecom's industry during the
past year include the Idea-Vodafone merger, Reliance Jio's
commercial launch and the Aircel bankruptcy. As a result, the
company has turned its focus towards working with operators with
stable operations which in turn will provide greater opportunity
for future returns. While this has resulted in lower revenues than
hoped for at the start of the financial year, recent performance in
particular indicates grounds for optimism in 2019.
The Indian mobile market continues to evolve rapidly; Reliance
Jio has doubled its customer base, passing 200 million subscribers
* while widening the gap to its nearest competitors as the world's
largest data network. Chinese vendors now dominate the Indian
smartphone market, low cost devices have made it more affordable
for those in rural areas to access high speed networks, which has
led to gaming revenues of over $1 billion in the past 12 months
**.
Looking ahead to the remainder of the current financial year and
beyond, the Company's primary objective is to increase our
revenues, while maintaining positive margin, in India and
Argentina.
The Board retains the belief that India remains the largest
opportunity for the Company to deliver growth in shareholder
returns while acknowledging there is scope to look at similar
markets in the region to maximise the potential of its
services.

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. 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 is pleased to present its audited
accounts for the financial year ended 30 June 2018.
The past twelve months have 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. Adverse market conditions, particularly in Argentina, saw
the loss of a major billing partner and the peso devaluation.
Group revenue for the year ended 30 June 2018 was GBP3.0m (2017:
GBP5.7m). Trading EBITDA (calculated as profit before tax,
interest, amortisation, depreciation, share compensation expense
and impairment of assets) was, as anticipated, negative GBP1.2m for
year (2017: negative GBP1.5m). Loss before tax was GBP0.9m (2017:
GBP1.5m loss). Much of the reduction in revenues is attributable to
challenging trading conditions in Argentina. Revenue in Argentina
(which equated to 76.4% of our revenue) on a constant currency
basis decreased by 37% from AR$92m to AR$58m.
During the second half of the financial year the Company
continued to invest in India to build a strong position in the
country and grow the number of our active subscribers. The second
half of the financial year was particularly busy in India, with
several launches, including the three largest telecom operators
covering over 700m mobile customers. In the new financial year, the
team will focus on growing the Group's subscriber base and access
to mobile customers further, as well as exploring other strategic
business alliances with key Indian mobile companies.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates
that general working capital requirement are likely to require a
further funding round within the next 12 months. The success of the
previous equity funding rounds and access to other sources of
capital supports the Director's reasonable expectation that Mobile
Streams will have sufficient resources to continue in operational
existence throughout this period.
The Directors do not propose a payment of a dividend (2017:
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 GBP1.0m, with no debt, at 30 June
2018 (2017: GBP2.3m).
The Board believes that India remains the largest opportunity
for the Company to deliver growth to shareholders via established
and newly developed products, leveraging its strong trading
relationships in developing markets.

Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018
STRATEGIC REPORT
Operating review
Mobile Streams' performance during the financial year ended 30
June 2018 was driven primarily from its Mobile Internet sales in
Latin America. The past twelve months have 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 the Company's
business of providing content to mobile network operators and other
business partners.
Group revenue for the year ended 30 June 2018 was GBP3.0m. The
gross profit of GBP1.2m decreased by 32.8% during the year (year
ended 30 June 2017: GBP1.8m). The gross profit margin increased
from 30.8% to 38.7% as a result of decreased marketing (direct to
consumer) costs related to its Mobile Internet division.
Selling and marketing expenses were GBP0.6m, a 17% decrease on
the year ended 30 June 2017. 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.
Mobile Internet sales
The Group experienced growth and then stabilisation in 2017 to
2018 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. The drop in sales was due to a reduction in volume of
revenue and the result of the devaluation of the Argentine peso
during the 2014 to 2018 financial years, resulting in a fall in
sales.
Latin America, primarily Argentina, accounted for the majority
of revenues.
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 46% year on year
partially because of consumer preferences.
There was a reduction in the number of consumer visitors to
these portals, which has been a continuing trend for several years.
The Group's 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.
Sales by Territory
Operations in Argentina were extremely challenging in the year
under review as a result of general market conditions and
regulation in the local market for mobile content subscriptions.
Further reduction in revenues in this region are seen as manageable
on account of the Company's strong relationship with its carrier
billing partner and their commitment to the business. However, this
also presents the Group with an opportunity as it looks to refocus
its business and continue to develop its ad-funded games service
and subscription services in India. These opportunities are
potentially transformational for the Group's business.
In India, revenues have been steadily growing quarter after
quarter. The Directors are continuously looking to improve the
Group's gross margins by reducing its subscriber acquisition costs
and increasing average revenue per subscriber. However, trading has
been more challenging than anticipated because of policy changes at
one of the Group's key partners and lower revenue from another.
In the past financial year in India, the focus has been very
much on growing the active paying weekly subscriber base on our
download and online games services. The marketing team responsible
for the success The Group has had in Latin America have had to be
very flexible with their investment strategy over the period as the
mobile market in India is ever evolving. The demonetisation in
India in November 2016, policy changes from selected carriers and
zero rate prepaid balances have been challenging but, on a positive
note, the Group has direct carrier billing agreements with two new
mobile networks and launched its online HTML5 games service.
The Indian mobile market is developing quickly, the entrance of
Reliance Jio 4G network (breaking world records in subscriber
growth) into the market has improved network connections throughout
the country, lowered prices for data and had a substantial impact
on the financial results of other carriers.
During the financial year the Company continued to invest in
India to build a strong position in the country and grow the number
of our active subscribers. Active subscribers had increased year on
year to over 1 million members at the end of the financial year.
The second half of the financial year was particularly busy in
India, with several launches, including the 3 largest telecom
operators covering over 700m mobile customers. In the new financial
year, the team will focus on growing the Group's subscriber base
and access to mobile customers further, as well as exploring other
strategic business alliances with key Indian mobile companies.
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 46% year on year
partially because of consumer preferences on products of other
portals and a higher competition. 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 2018 was GBP3.0m, a
46.5% decrease on the previous year (2017: GBP5.7m).
Gross profit was GBP1.2m, a decrease of 32.8% during the year
(2017: GBP1.8m). The gross profit margin increased from 30.8% to
38.7% on account of decreased marketing (Direct to Consumer) costs
related to Mobile Internet.
Selling, marketing and administrative expenses were GBP2.4m, a
30% decrease on the year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: GBP3.4m).
The Group recorded a loss after tax of GBP1m for the year ended
30 June 2017 (2017 loss: GBP1.7m). Basic earnings per share
increased to a loss of 1 pence per share (2017: loss of 2.62 pence
per share). Adjusted earnings per share (excluding interest,
depreciation, amortisation, impairments and share compensation
expense) increased to a loss of 1 pence per share (2017: loss of
2.41 pence per share).
The Group had cash of GBP1m at 30 June 2018, with no debt
(GBP2.3m of cash with no debt as at 30 June 2017). Argentina cash
was GBP0.6m at 30 June 2017 (2017: GBP0.8m).

Financial Perfomance
Key performance indicators ("KPI's")
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue is a measure of our
profitability. Gross profit was GBP1.2m for the year ended on 30
June 2018. 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 GBP1.2m for the year ended on 30 June
2018, and it was a loss of GBP1.5m for the year ended in 30 June
2017.
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 consolidated income statement are added back to
profit after tax in calculating this measure.
Growth in revenue is a measure of how the Group is building its
business. The Company's goal is to achieve year-on-year growth.
Although revenue decreased 46.5% during the year, like-for-like
revenue on a constant currency basis decreased by 36%.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue is a measure of our
profitability. Gross profit margin was 38.7% for the year ended in
June 2018, an increase of 8% (2017: 30.8%).
Strategy
The Group's business model is generating revenues though
relationships with mobile operators and content aggregators and
retailing directly to the consumer. Mobile Streams has developed
expertise in selling content to consumers in developing
markets.
Mobile Streams has focused on three main objectives in its
recent business trading: expansion into India; stabilisation of our
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. Argentina revenues in the last financial year were
impacted by the slowdown in the mobile subscription business in the
local market. Cash balances have fallen due to the negative EBITDA
produced in the year.
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
trialled. 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 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.
Share Issue
In April 2018 the Group issued 9,159,000 shares at a value of
GBP0.0115 per share, raising GBP105,328. The Group's source of
capital is the parent company's equity shares. The funds obtained
are dedicated to fund the expansion of the India subsidiary through
the increase of the marketing initiatives. The Group has not raised
debt financing in the past and expects not to do so in the
future.
The Company only has one class of share. The total number of
shares in issue as at 30 June 2018 is 100,752,533 (30 June 2017:
91,593,533) with a par value of GBP0.002 per share. All issued
shares are fully paid.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates
that general working capital requirement are likely to require a
further funding round within the next 12 months. The success of the
previous equity funding rounds and access to other sources of
capital supports the Director's reasonable expectation that Mobile
Streams will have sufficient resources to continue in operational
existence throughout this period.
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.
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 24 on
page 46 "Foreign currency risk".
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.
The Argentinean economy is considered to be in hyperinflation
since 1 July 2018 according IFRS guidelines. Argentina will apply
the inflation adjustment to the non-monetary items since 1 July
2018. The impact of the hyperinflationary accounting is yet to be
assessed. The impact will first be reported in the 2019 interim
financial statements.
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.
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 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. The Directors acknowledge that uncertainty exists over the
ability of the Group to meet its funding requirements having
incurred a net loss for the year of GBP1m.
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
2018, the Group actively manages its use of cash, particularly
marketing and other expenditure. As part of this active management,
the Group initiated the closure of offices in Singapore, Hong Kong
and Australia during the year.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates
that general working capital requirement are likely to require a
further funding round within the next 12 months. The success of the
previous equity funding rounds and access to other sources of
capital supports the Director's reasonable expectation that Mobile
Streams will have sufficient resources to continue in operational
existence throughout this period.
It is noted that if additional funding is not available then the
Group and Company would be unlikely to be able to continue as a
going concern. These circumstances indicate the existence of a
material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going
concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realize its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
If for any reason the Group is unable to continue as a going
concern, it could have an impact on the Group's ability to realise
assets at their recognised values, and to extinguish liabilities in
the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the
consolidated financial statements. The Group has fully amortised
goodwill and other intangible assets.
In the past financial year in India, the focus has been very
much on growing the active paying weekly subscriber base on our
download and online games services. The marketing team responsible
for the success we have had in Latin America have had to be very
flexible with their investment strategy over the period as the
mobile market in India is ever evolving.
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.
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 the 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.
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

Argentina revenue decreased 37% in Argentine Pesos terms; from
AR$92 Million to AR$58 Million; but the reported British Pound
figures shows a 50% decrease in revenue; from GBP4.6m to
GBP2.3m.
Future developments
Looking ahead to the remainder of 2018 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 Group 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.
Potential impact of Brexit
The outcome of the UK's vote to leave the European Union and
trigger article 50 is unlikely to materially impact the Group at an
operational level with almost all of the Group's revenues derived
from customers based outside of the EU.

Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. The Directors acknowledge that uncertainty exists over the
ability of the Group to meet its funding requirements having
incurred a net loss for the year of GBP1m.
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
2018, the Group actively manages its use of cash, particularly
marketing and other expenditure. As part of this active management,
the Group initiated the closure of offices in Singapore, Hong Kong
and Australia.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates
that general working capital requirement are likely to require a
further funding round within the next 12 months. The success of the
previous equity funding rounds and access to other sources of
capital supports the Director's reasonable expectation that Mobile
Streams will have sufficient resources to continue in operational
existence throughout this period.
It is noted that if additional funding is not available then the
Group and Company would be unlikely to be able to continue as a
going concern. These circumstances indicate the existence of a
material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going
concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realize its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Director's responsibilities statement
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic
Report, the Director's Report and the Financial Statements in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial
statements for each nancial year. Under that law the Directors have
elected to prepare the parent company nancial statements in
accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable laws)
including FRS 101 Reduced disclosure Framework, and the
consolidated accounts in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS). Under
company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements
unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of
the state of affairs and profit or loss of the Company and Group
for that period. In preparing these financial Statements, the
Directors are required to:
-- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently,
-- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,
-- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and lFRSs
have been followed, subject to any
material departures disclosed and explained in the nancial
statements, and
-- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis
unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will
continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting
records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the
financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that
the financial statements, and the Directors' Remuneration report
comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Article 4 of the IAS
Regulation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets
of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the
prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Directors con rm that
-- So far as each Director is aware, there is no relevant audit
information of which the Group's auditor is unaware, and
-- The Directors have taken all steps that they ought to have
taken as directors to make themselves aware of any relevant audit
information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that
information.
This confirmation is given pursuant to section 418 of the
Companies Act 2006 and should be interpreted in accordance with and
subject to those provisions.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity
of the corporate and nancial information included on the Group's
website Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation
and dissemination of financial statements may differ from
legislation in other jurisdictions.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF MOBILE STREAMS
PLC
Independent auditor's report to the members of Mobile Streams
PLC
Opinion
Our opinion on the group financial statements is unmodified
We have audited the group financial statements of Mobile Streams PLC for the year ended 30
June 2018. which comprise the Group accounting policies, the Consolidated income statement,
the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated statement of financial
position, the Consolidated statement of changes in equity, the Consolidated cash flow statement
and notes to the financial statements. The financial reporting framework that has been applied
in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
as adopted by the European Union.
In our opinion, the group financial statements:
* give a true and fair view of the state of the group's
affairs as at 30 June 2018 and of its loss for the
year then ended;
* have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs
as adopted by the European Union; and
* have been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the group financial
statements section of our report. We are independent of the group
in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to
our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the
FRC's Ethical Standard as applied to listed entities, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to the group accounting policies on page 19 in
the financial statements, which states that uncertainty remains
over the ability of the Group to meet its funding requirements,
having incurred a net loss for the year of GBP1,015,000. This
condition, along with the other matters as set forth on page 19,
indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast
significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going
concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Who we are reporting to
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body,
in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.
Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the
company's members those matters we are required to state to them in
an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to
anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body,
for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have
formed.
Overview of our audit approach
* Overall materiality: GBP 61,000 which represents 2%
of the group's revenue;
* The key audit matter identified was occurrence of
revenue; and
* We performed full scope audit procedures on the
financial statements of Mobile Streams plc and on the
financial information of Mobile Streams de Argentina
SRL and Mobile Streams India, and a combination of
targeted procedures and analytical procedures on all
other components.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the group
financial statements of the current period and include the most
significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not
due to fraud) that we identified. These matters included those that
had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy; the
allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of
the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the group financial statements as a whole, and in
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty
Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matter
described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in
our report.

---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our application of materiality
We define materiality as the magnitude of misstatement in the
financial statements that makes it probable that the economic
decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person would be changed or
influenced. We use materiality in determining the nature, timing
and extent of our audit work and in evaluating the results of that
work.
We determined materiality for the audit of the group financial
statements as a whole to be GBP61,000, which is 2% of the Group's
revenue. This benchmark is considered the most appropriate because
it is a key performance indicator for the users of the group
financial statements.
Materiality for the current year is higher than the level that
we determined for the year ended 30 June 2017 because we increased
the percentage of Group revenue used to determine materiality from
1% to 2%.
We use a different level of materiality, performance
materiality, to drive the extent of our testing and this was set at
75% of financial statement materiality for the audit of the group
financial statements.
We also determine a lower level of specific materiality for
directors' remuneration and related party transactions.
We determined the threshold at which we will communicate
misstatements to the audit committee to be GBP3,050. In addition,
we will communicate misstatements below that threshold that, in our
view, warrant reporting on qualitative grounds.
An overview of the scope of our audit
Our audit approach was a risk-based approach founded on a
thorough understanding of the group's business, its environment and
risk profile and in particular included:
-- evaluation by the group audit team of identified components
to assess the significance of that component and to determine the
planned audit response based on a measure of materiality. For
example, significance as a percentage of the group's total assets,
revenues and profit before taxation or significance based on
qualitative factors;
-- the three significant components identified were Mobile
Streams Plc (the parent company), Mobile Streams de Argentina SRL
and Mobile Streams India and were subject to full scope audit
procedures. A combination of either targeted procedures or
analytical procedures were performed on all other components;
and
-- performing substantive procedures on significant transactions
which included journal entries, individual material balances and
disclosures, the extent of which was based on various factors such
as our overall assessment of the control environment and our
evaluation of the design and implementation of controls around
significant risk areas.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The
other information comprises the information included in the annual
report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's
report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not
cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise
explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the group financial statements,
our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the group financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent
material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there
is a material misstatement of the group financial statements or a
material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the
work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report
that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Our opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 is unmodified
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
* the information given in the strategic report and the
directors' report for the financial year for which
the group financial statements are prepared is
consistent with the group financial statements; and
* the strategic report and the directors' report have
been prepared in accordance with applicable legal
requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report under the Companies
Act 2006
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and
its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not
identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the
directors' report.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in
relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to
you if, in our opinion:
-- certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of directors for the group financial
statements
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities
statement set out on page 13, the directors are responsible for the
preparation of the group financial statements and for being
satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable
the preparation of group financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the group financial statements, the directors are
responsible for assessing the
group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to
liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the group financial
statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the group financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is
a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these group
financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of
the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting
Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This
description forms part of our auditor's report.
Other matter
We have reported separately on the parent company financial
statements of Mobile Streams Plc for the year ended 30 June 2018.
That report includes details of the parent company key audit
matters; how we applied the concept of materiality in planning and
performing our audit; and an overview of the scope of our audit.
That report also includes a statement on a material uncertainty
related to going concern.

GROUP 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
2018. 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 55-62, 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 consolidated statement of financial position
date are recognised in the consolidated 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.
(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 consolidated statement of
financial position are translated at the closing exchange rate at
the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.
ii income and expenses for each consolidated 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 33%
Office furniture straight line
Each asset's residual value and useful life is reviewed, and
adjusted if required, at each consolidated statement of financial
position 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 consolidated income statement.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. The Directors acknowledge that uncertainty exists over the
ability of the Group to meet its funding requirements having
incurred a net loss for the year of GBP1m.
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
2018, the Group actively manages its use of cash, particularly
marketing and other expenditure. As part of this active management,
the Group initiated the closure of offices in Singapore, Hong Kong
and Australia during the year.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates
that general working capital requirement are likely to require a
further funding round within the next 12 months. The success of the
previous equity funding rounds and access to other sources of
capital supports the Director's reasonable expectation that Mobile
Streams will have sufficient resources to continue in operational
existence throughout this period.
It is noted that if additional funding is not available then the
Group and Company would be unlikely to be able to continue as a
going concern. These circumstances indicate the existence of a
material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going
concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realize its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Standards and Amendments to existing standards effective 1 July
2017
There are no IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are effective
for the financial year beginning on or after 1 July 2017 that have
had a material impact on the group.
New standards effective for accounting periods commencing on 1
July 2017 are:
Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards
that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the
Group
A number of the new standards, amendments to standards and
interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1
July 2017, and have not been applied in preparing these
consolidated financial statements. Those which are/may be relevant
to the Group and expected to have significant effect on the
consolidated financial statements of the Group are set out below
The Group is yet to assess the full impact of these changes.
-- IFRS 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification,
measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial
liabilities. It replaces the guidance in IAS 39 that relates to the
classification and measurement of financial instruments The
standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2018 Early adoption is permitted subject to EU
endorsement.
-- IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers deals with
revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful
information to users of financial statements. The standard replaces
IAS 18 Revenue and 1AS 11 Construction contracts and related
interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and earlier application is
permitted subject to EU endorsement.
The impact that IFRS 15 will have on the financial statements
has begun but is yet to be completed and fully quantified. The
Group has different contractual arrangements with each of its
clients which will require detailed review in order to assess the
changes the Group will need to make to its revenue recognition
policies once the standard is implemented.
-- IFRS 2 Share-based payments ("SBP") provides clarification
concerning the treatment of vesting and non-vesting conditions. It
also clarifies the treatment when tax laws oblige an entity to
withhold an amount for an employee's tax obligation associated with
a SBP and to transfer that amount to the tax authority on the
employee's behalf. Finally the amendment provides further guidance
on accounting for modifications of options. The standard is
effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January
2018.
The Directors do not expect that the adoption of the Standards
and amendments listed above will have a material impact on the
financial statements of the Group in the future periods.
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.
(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
consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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
consolidated statement of financial position 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 consolidated income
statement, 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.
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 consolidated statement of financial position
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 consolidated statement of financial position. 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 consolidated income statement. Subsequent recoveries of amounts
previously written off are credited in the consolidated 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 consolidated
income statement as finance costs.
Revenue recognition
As at 30 June 2018, 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).
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 consolidated 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 consolidated income statement.
d) Deferred Income
Revenue that has been collected from customers but where the
above conditions are not met is recorded in the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position under accruals and deferred income
and released to the Consolidated 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
consolidated 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 consolidated statement of financial position 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 consolidated statement of financial
position date is recognised in the consolidated 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.
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 consolidated 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 14 Cleveland Grove, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14 1XF
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 8 November 2018.
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
carry forward will ultimately be offset against future earnings,
this judgement impacts on the degree to which deferred tax assets
are recognised. The deferred tax credit is produced by the
Argentina subsidiary, which has been profitable and paid income tax
return along the years.

9. LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss or
profit attributable to equity holders of the company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the
period. The options this year are not-dilutive as loss-making.

share as they are anti-dilutive.
The adjusted EPS has been calculated to reflect the underlying
profitability of the business by excluding non-cash charges for
depreciation, amortisation, impairments and share compensation
charges.

All amounts are current. The carrying values are considered to
be a reasonable approximation of fair value.
17. Deferred TAX ASSETS AND liabilities
The majority of the deferred tax asset credit was produced from
unpaid intercompany balances in Argentina. This temporary
difference is expected to be reversed once the balances are repaid.
No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of surplus tax
losses available for carry forward due to uncertainty over the
timing of future taxable profits.
18. SHARE CAPITAL
The Company only has one class of share. The total number of
shares in issue as at 30 June 2018 is 100,752,533 (30 June 2017:
91,593,533) 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.

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.
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.
The calculation model includes these variables:
Expected volatility: 86.7%
Expected dividends: 0 (Nil)
Risk free interest rate: 1.99%
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.

21. Segment reporting
As at 30 June 2018, the Group was organised into 4 geographical
segments: Europe, North America, Latin American, and Asia Pacific.
The operating segments are organised, managed and reported to the
Chief Operating Decision Maker based on their geographical
location. Revenues are from external customers only and generated
from three principal business activities: the sale of mobile
content through Multi-National Organisation's (Mobile Operator
Services), the sale of mobile content over the internet (Mobile
Internet Services) and the provision of consulting and technical
services (Other Service Fees).
All operations are continuing and all inter-segment transactions
are priced and carried out at arm's length.

2017: GBPNil).
23. Related party transactions
Key Management
The only related party transactions that occurred during the
year were the remuneration of senior management disclosed in note
7.
24. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group is exposed to currency and liquidity risk, which
result from both its operating and investing activities. The
Group's risk management is coordinated in close co-operation with
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, Argentine Peso, Mexican Peso, Indian Rupee 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.

Argentina economy is considered to be in hyperinflation since
July 1 2018 according IFRS guidelines. Argentina will apply the
inflation adjustment to the non-monetary items since July 1(st)
2018. The impact of the hyperinflationary accounting is yet to be
assessed by management. The impact will first be reported in the
2019 interim financial statements.
Liquidity risk
The Group seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient
liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs. Management
prepares cash flow forecasts which are reviewed at Board meetings
to ensure liquidity. The Group has no borrowing arrangements.
As at 30 June 2018, the Group's financial liabilities were all
current and have contractual maturities as follows:

Capital Management Disclosures
Management assesses the Group's capital requirements in order to
maintain an efficient overall financing structure while avoiding
excessive leverage. The Group manages the capital structure and
makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic
conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group
could return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
The Group considers its capital to comprise the following:

Independent auditor's report to the members of Mobile Streams
PLC
Opinion
Our opinion on the parent company financial statements is unmodified
We have audited the parent company financial statements of Mobile Streams PLC for the year
ended 30 June 2018, which comprise the Company accounting policies, the Company Statement
of Financial Position, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity and notes to the financial
statements. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is
applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard
101 'Reduced Disclosure Framework' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the parent company financial statements:
* give a true and fair view of the state of the parent
company's affairs as at 30 June 2018;
* have been properly prepared in accordance with United
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
* have been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs
(UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the 'Auditor's responsibilities
for the audit of the parent company financial statements' section
of our report. We are independent of the parent company in
accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our
audit of the parent company financial statements in the UK,
including the FRC's Ethical Standard as applied to listed entities,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to the company accounting policies on page 55
in the financial statements, which states that uncertainty remains
over the ability of the parent company to meet its funding
requirements, having incurred a net loss for the year of
GBP3,977,000. This condition, along with the other matters as set
forth on page 55 indicate that a material uncertainty exists that
may cast significant doubt on the parent company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect
of this matter.
Who we are reporting to
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body,
in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.
Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the
company's members those matters we are required to state to them in
an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to
anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body,
for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have
formed.
Overview of our audit approach
* Overall materiality: GBP17,000, which represents 1%
of the company's net assets;
* Key audit matters were identified as described in the
'Key audit matters' section below; and
* Our audit approach was a risk-based approach founded
on a thorough understanding of the company's business,
its environment and risk profile.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent
company financial statements of the current period and include the
most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether
or not due to fraud) that we identified. These matters included
those that had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy;
the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts
of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context
of our audit of the parent company financial statements as a whole,
and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters.
Except for the matter described in the 'Material uncertainty
related to going concern' section, we identified no other key audit
matters in relation to the audit of the parent company financial
statements.
Our application of materiality
We define materiality as the magnitude of misstatement in the
financial statements that makes it probable that the economic
decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person would be changed or
influenced. We use materiality in determining the nature, timing
and extent of our work and in evaluating the results of that
work.
We determined materiality for the audit of the parent company
financial statements as a whole to be GBP17,000, which is 1% of the
parent company's net assets. This benchmark is considered to be the
most appropriate because the company is a holding company and as
such its primary purpose is to hold investments in subsidiaries for
the group, for which net assets is a key indicator of
performance.
Materiality for the current year is lower than the level that we
determined for the year ended 30 June 2017 to reflect the lower net
assets of the company.
We use a different level of materiality, performance
materiality, to drive the extent of our testing and this was set at
75% of financial statement materiality.
We also determine a lower level of specific materiality for, for
example, directors' remuneration and related party
transactions.
We determined the threshold at which we will communicate
misstatements to the audit committee to be GBP1,000. In addition,
we will communicate misstatements below that threshold that, in our
view, warrant reporting on qualitative grounds.
An overview of the scope of our audit
Our audit approach was a risk-based approach founded on a
thorough understanding of the company's business, its environment
and risk profile, and in particular included performing substantive
procedures on significant transactions which included journal
entries, individual material balances and disclosures, the extent
of which was based on various factors such as our overall
assessment of the control environment and our evaluation of the
design and implementation of controls around significant risk
areas.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The
other information comprises the
information included in the annual report, other than the
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion
on the financial statements does not cover the other information
and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our
report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion
thereon.
In connection with our audit of the parent company financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent with the parent company financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material
inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required
to determine whether there is a material misstatement of the parent
company financial statements or a material misstatement of the
other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Our opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 is unmodified
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
* the information given in the strategic report and the
directors' report for the financial year for which
the parent company financial statements are prepared
is consistent with the parent company financial
statements; and
* the strategic report and the directors' report have
been prepared in accordance with applicable legal
requirements.
Matter on which we are required to report under the Companies
Act 2006
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the parent
company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we
have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report
or the directors' report.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in
relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to
you if, in our opinion:
-- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent
company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received
from branches not visited by us; or
-- the parent company financial statements are not in agreement
with the accounting records and returns; or
-- certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of directors for the parent company financial
statements
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities
statement set out on page 13, the directors are responsible for the
preparation of the parent company financial statements and for
being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable
the preparation of parent company financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company financial statements, the
directors are responsible for assessing the parent company's
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis
of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the
parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the parent company
financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the parent company financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue
an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent
company financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of
the parent company financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at:
www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms
part of our auditor's report.
Other matter
We have reported separately on the group financial statements of
Mobile Streams Plc for the year ended 30 June 2018. That report
includes details of the group key audit matters; how we applied the
concept of materiality in planning and performing our audit; and an
overview of the scope of our audit. That report also includes a
statement on a material uncertainty related to going concern.

summary of significant 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).
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.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. The Directors acknowledge that uncertainty exists over the
ability of the Company to meet its funding requirements having
incurred a net loss for the year of GBP3.98m.
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
2018, the Group actively manages its use of cash, particularly
marketing and other expenditure. As part of this active management,
the Group initiated the closure of offices in Singapore, Hong Kong
and Australia.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates
that general working capital requirement are likely to require a
further funding round within the next 12 months. The success of the
previous equity funding rounds and access to other sources of
capital supports the Director's reasonable expectation that Mobile
Streams will have sufficient resources to continue in operational
existence throughout this period.
It is noted that if additional funding is not available then the
Group and Company would be unlikely to be able to continue as a
going concern. These circumstances indicate the existence of a
material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going
concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realize its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Investments IN SUBSIDIARIES
Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the Company's
consolidated statement of financial position 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 company statement of financial position 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 company statement of
financial position 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 company statement of financial
position 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 company statement of
financial position 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 company statement of
financial position date is recognised in the company 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.
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 company statement of financial position. 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 company 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 company income statement. Subsequent recoveries of amounts
previously written off are credited in the company income
statement.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are obligations to pay cash or deliver
other financial assets and are recognised when the company 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 company'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 consolidated
income statement as finance costs.
