Konstantinos Korletis, Chief Executive Officer of InternetQ, commented:
"At InternetQ we are involved in the most widespread and rapidly evolving technology of the planet! Mobile device connections have reached approximately 5.2 billion at the end of 2011. Based on an analysis presented by Google this translates to some 3.7 billion unique users. To compare, there are just 1.2 billion PCs in use worldwide, including desktops, laptops and tablets. There are also 1.1 billion fixed landline phones, approximately 1.6 TV sets and just 2 billion people with a banking account. Mobile utterly dwarfs them all!
Within this exciting and rapidly evolving ecosystem, we have managed to increase our annual revenues by 34% (exceeded € 50 million sales in 2011), while in the second half of the year we accelerated our growth to approximately 55%, as compared to the relevant period of 2010. Most importantly, we are now better situated to take advantage of new opportunities in all markets of interest, we have minimized our exposure to any one particular country or territory and have a strong and visible pipeline of projects lined up for 2012. In addition, we hold a good level of cash to fund future growth, whether organic or inorganic."

Chairman's Statement
2011 has been another excellent year for InternetQ, driven by a strong financial performance in our core business of mobile marketing and marked by further strategic progress on a number of key fronts.
The Group generated total revenues of €50.1 million, a growth of 34 % over the prior year. The Mobile Marketing segment delivered a record performance with revenue of €41.2 million, an increase of 37%. Our proprietary mobile music platform, AKAZOO, also demonstrated significant growth in both revenue and subscribers. It now has more than 2 million registered users and approximately 0.5 million paying subscribers; and produced revenues of €6 million in 2011, an increase of 73% over the prior year.
The year 2011 has also been one year of operational progress for the Group, demonstrated by our commercial presence in more than 50 countries, and our cooperation with more than 145 mobile network operators. We also embarked on a significant investment phase designed to support our growth and maintain our market leading positions. In 2011 we accelerated the pace of investments on our technological infrastructure and on innovation across the Group, enabling our teams to deliver an enriched service offering throughout the customer base. This investment has underpinned our growth. In addition to the progress made in the technological performance delivered by our Mobile Marketing platform, the teams have also launched the latest version of our social music network AKAZOO 2.0.
Our strategic focus continues to be organic growth in existing markets, targeted exploration of developing markets and consistent management of costs, resources and risks. Where appropriate, we will continue to further consider tactical bolt-on acquisitions opportunities.
Despite challenging market conditions and widespread economic uncertainty, our clear strategic focus, exciting growth and considerable geographical expansion provide a solid base for future growth. We remain on track to becoming a global leader of mobile marketing and digital entertainment solutions; we look forward to exploiting the opportunities that we encounter in 2012.
President & Founder's Statement
2011 was another strong year for InternetQ. We successfully expanded geographically into Southeast Asia, Russia, Africa and the Middle East. We also advanced our AKAZOO social music platform into ten new markets, mostly in Central and Eastern Europe. Our core business of mobile marketing continues to underpin our success, as we seek to continue to capitalise on the rapid rise of mobile engagement and m-commerce.
InternetQ is now very well placed to benefit from the rapidly evolving marketplace, with next generation mobile technology becoming prevalent in mature markets and more relevant in developing markets. We find ourselves in the epicentre of a mobile revolution, supporting network operators and corporate brands alike.
The strong growth experienced in 2011 positions us well for the year ahead, with partnerships developed around the world and additional plans to expand our footprint either organically or through acquisitions.
Chief Executive Officer's Review
I am delighted to report another strong performance from the Group in 2011. Despite volatile global markets and the anemic economic activity of most developed economies, we have maintained a high growth momentum and, at the same, reinforced our position in key territories like Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and Turkey.
More specifically, in 2011 we managed to increase our revenues by nearly 34% (€50.1 million revenues), while in the second half of the year we accelerated our growth to 55%, as compared to the relevant period of the previous year. At the same time, we expanded our business in new markets of Southeast Asia, Russia, Africa and the Middle East, which in turn reduced our reliance on Poland, our most important market until recently. Indicatively, in 2010 circa 69% of our turnover was attributed to activities in Poland, while in 2011 the dependency was reduced to 28%. Moreover, our revenue exposure to the weak Greek economy has been further reduced, from 13% in 2010 to just 7% in 2011.
Most importantly, despite rolling out mobile marketing campaigns and mobile entertainment services in many new markets our operating margins were sustained at satisfactory levels. EBITDA, as adjusted for share based compensation amounting to €394,369 and one-off acquisition costs amounting to €499,774 , stood at 14.7% of revenue compared to 14.9% in the previous year, reaching €7.4 million. It is worthwhile considering that this performance has been negatively affected by foreign exchange differences and the costs of rolling out the AKAZOO service in new markets, which are fully expensed.
At the same time, we have undertaken substantial investments across the Group which we believe further positions InternetQ for continuous growth. In particular, we completed the following key initiatives:
·; The acquisition of I-POP Networks Pte Ltd, a leading mobile data traffic aggregator in Southeast Asia, which maintains direct connectivity with almost all Tier 1 and Tier 2 mobile carriers in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam, as well as smaller markets of the South Pacific rim.
·; Investments of more than €3.5 million to transform our digital entertainment offering into AKAZOO, a powerful, mobile driven, social music network.
·; Investments of more than €1.6 million to upgrade our technology infrastructure, data storage and processing capabilities, a prerequisite to seamlessly handle much bigger volumes of data traffic, whether mobile marketing or entertainment related.
Industry Dynamics
Mobile device connections have exceeded the five billion mark in 2011, reaching approximately 5.2 billion subscriptions at the end of last year. Based on an analysis performed by Google this translates to some 3.7 billion unique users. To compare, there are just 1.2 billion PCs in use worldwide, including desktops, laptops and tablets. There are also 1.1 billion fixed landline phones, approximately 1.6 billion TV sets and just 2 billion people with a banking account. Mobile utterly dwarfs them all!
Mobile phones have become sophisticated devices that are replacing watches, alarm clocks, MP3 players, cameras and calendars and also possess greater processing capabilities. Most recently, mobile subscriptions have become a central gateway to effect remote payment transactions, particularly of micro size and they are also widely used to channel valuable data between consumers of businesses. Mobile subscribers are increasingly using their connectivity to keep at speed with developments, to socially interact, to entertain themselves and to engage with their favorite brands. They use them to manage their everyday lives.
Given these ground-breaking developments, mass media marketing techniques have also begun changing. For most of the recent past, TV broadcast (terrestrial, cable or satellite) prevailed as the best option for mass marketing. However, this medium suffers from the disadvantage of being costly and not targeted enough. With internet coming to maturity, new methods of mass marketing have been developed to overcome many of these shortcomings. Most recently, the global proliferation of mobile technology together with the increasing functionality and affordability of mobile devices has helped to deliver targeted marketing, even in populations that no other medium was able to reach before. This new model, termed 'mobile marketing', allows businesses to engage with consumer subscribers who are open to direct communication; hence the marketer has the added benefit of choosing the timing of transmission as well as the profile of the recipient.
Apart from the dynamic growth of mobile marketing, high speed mobile internet allows for the entertainment of and the social interaction among consumer subscribers. Social networks like Facebook are increasingly focusing on the mobile channel. Well-established internet companies like Google are looking into ways to exploit the tremendous mobile marketing and advertising opportunities. Game publishers like Zynga and Active Blizzard are also trying to develop machine-to-machine concepts that position the mobile user at the center of their targeting. Traditional media companies are heavily investing to develop mobile applications and cooperate with enablers (like us) for their mobile content management and the development of alternative revenue streams. Virtually everyone around the world is looking on how to monetize from the growing volumes of m-commerce.
Our Business
Offering mobile marketing and digital entertainment solutions is and will remain the core of our business activities. Through Mobi-Dialogue and AKAZOO (both proprietary platforms) InternetQ offers a wide range of marketing applications that are designed to facilitate mobile carriers and media companies to design and implement targeted, interactive and measurable campaigns by engaging with and entertaining consumers.
Mobi-Dialogue includes an array of services that are being constantly refined and tested in demanding market conditions around the globe. Solutions for marketing campaign management, aggregation and payment gateways are at the core of several applications that we activate globally. Through Mobi-Dialogue, we have already powered thousands of marketing initiatives undertaken by mobile carriers, television networks, radio stations, advertising agencies and consumer brands. The platform offers comprehensive web-based management tools, providing secure access to manage and maintain mobile applications all in one unified place. Our mobile marketing services have positioned InternetQ at the core of mobile-supported brand awareness building, by allowing the design of campaigns that combine traditional promotional channels with the high-tech benefits of promoting through mobile channels.
Through AKAZOO, we provide consumers with premium digital content in a branded, highly interactive and socially developed environment. Over and above its content-driven focus, AKAZOO aims to develop thoroughly profiled mobile communities where brands will be able to advertise their products and services.
For the moment, AKAZOO focuses on delivering highly localized music content (full track purchase and streaming capabilities) to its members in different countries. Going forward, we aspire to enrich the offering with games (social, casual and massive multiplayer), applications and even motion clips, all relevant to the entertainment nature of the service.
Outlook for 2012
Given our enhanced network connectivity in South-east Asia and Eastern Europe and the development of reliable partnerships in Russia and Africa, we expect further growth from our mobile marketing activities and anticipate they will remain the biggest revenue contributor in 2012 as well. Our current pipeline of mobile marketing projects is strong and gaining momentum, while it is more visible than ever before.
In addition, we foresee the successful roll-out of AKAZOO in new countries, in combination with an improved service offering, to further accelerate mobile entertainment revenues at a much faster rate than in previous years. More specifically, by the end of 2011 the service was offered in 14 countries, most of which had been added to our footprint during the last quarter of that year. Already, during the first quarter of 2012 we have added 4 countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Kenya) and have imminent plans to launch in several more before the year ends. We aspire to be present in more than 40 countries by the end of 2013, making AKAZOO an international social music network with highly localized content. With the continued demand for digital content like music, games, video clips and the development of more targeted social networking systems, we believe AKAZOO will become a key component to our continued success.
Most importantly, in 2012 we will commence the integration of our social music service into our traditional mobile marketing activities. Loyalty programs for existing mobile subscribers based on limited AKAZOO service features, music content enrichment formats for operator platforms that intend to drive new subscriptions, ARPU enhancing initiatives that substitute for diminishing revenue of voice related services are some examples of such expected benefits.
Finally, apart from organic growth, we are actively pursuing non-organic growth opportunities in different markets and across various technology fields.
Chief Financial Officer's Review
InternetQ entered 2012 having delivered its strongest ever performance in terms of revenues in 2011. We continued to be reassured by our new business pipeline and believe this performance further endorses our multi-territory strategy. InternetQ is guided by strict principles and prudent decision-making policies when it comes to cash management, cost control, investments, and the Group's overall capital structure. This prudent approach is the basis for the continued long term success of the Group.
Group revenues generated 34% growth in 2011, with two out of five segments delivering substantial sales growth. Revenues from Mobile Marketing activities grew by 37% to €41.2 million (2010: €30 million) while revenues from AKAZOO grew by 73% to €6 million (2010: €3.5 million).
Selling and administration costs increased by 42%, primarily due to one-off costs from the acquisition of I-POP Networks Pte Ltd and the share incentive plan granted to employees. Adjusted EBITDA (after adjustment for share incentive plans amounting to €394,369 and one off acquisition costs amounting to €499,774 grew by 32.4% to €7.4 million (2010: €5.6 million) a margin of 14.7% (2010: 14.9%). The Profit after Income tax for the year reached €2.4 million compared to €2.3 million for 2010.
As we continue to invest to support our expansion plans, we have experienced increased working capital needs, which we expect to persist in the future. Given that most new market penetration came into force during the second half of the year and the last quarter in particular the level of working capital appears inflated on the 31st of December 2011.
Likewise, given our investments to improve the Mobi-Dialogue and AKAZOO platforms and introduce new consumer profiling and content management systems, capital expenditure was also increased. Total capital expenditure including intangibles for the year ended 31 December 2011 stood at €5.5 million, an increase of 81% from the previous year (2010: €3 million).
The Group ended 2011 with €8.2 million net cash, which consisted of €10.6 million cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and €2.4 million bank debt. The terms and conditions of the Group's borrowing agreements continue to be relatively favorable. Our €0.4 million term loan matures in March 2014 and another €0.5 million loan arrangement matures in April 2013.
The Group continues to manage all non-essential costs conservatively in the current macroeconomic environment, as well as continuing to invest where we see particularly strong opportunities to advance our positions, such as our investments this year in Southeast Asia. Most importantly, we have managed to reduce our exposure to the weak Greek economy as less than 7% of 2011 revenue was generated in that country, with a diminishing outlook for this year.
With our solid financial position, we have the flexibility to make selective investments into the long-term growth of the Company and continue to deliver shareholder value.

*Certain amounts shown here do not correspond to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 and reflect adjustments made as detailed in note 1.
1. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as follows:
a) Changes in accounting policies
Revenue Recognition
The Group previously recorded the turnover from the AKAZOO business net of revenue share payments to third parties and network operators. During 2011, the Group determined that it would change its accounting policy in respect of the recognition of revenue from the AKAZOO business so that revenue is recorded before the deduction of revenue share to network operators. The Group believes that this policy is more consistent with the practice of its immediate industry peers and reflects the fact that in the AKAZOO business the Groups acts as the principal supplier of mobile phone content, entertainment and other services.
Changes have been applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, resulting in the restatement of the prior period financial information.
As a result of the voluntary accounting policy change, the following adjustments were made to the financial statements:
·; For the year ended 31 December 2010:
Increase in Revenues: € 1,708,785
Ιncrease in cost of sales: € 1,708,785
·; For the year ended 31 December 2011:
Increase in Revenues: € 2,808,406
Ιncrease in cost of sales: € 2,808,406
As represented above, the change in the accounting policy resulted only in reclassifications between revenues and cost of sales. The change in the accounting policy had no effect on retained earnings and on earnings per share as previously reported.
b) Retrospective correction of revenues and costs
During 2011 revenues of €70,890 and costs of €390,091 were recorded for a specific mobile marketing campaign which effectively related to services rendered and received in 2010. The above was not a systemic error but rather arose as a result of a lack of specific documentation available at the time of preparation of the prior year financial statements.
The Group decided to proceed with the above correction retrospectively, in accordance to IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors", since it believes that after this correction the 2011 operations would be more accurately presented.
As a result of the above, the following adjustments were made to the financial statements:
·; For the year ended 31 December 2010:
Increase in revenues: € 70,890
Ιncrease in cost of sales: € (390,091)
Increase in deferred tax benefit: € 63,840
Net decrease in profit €(255,361)
Increase in accrued income: € 70,890
Ιncrease in accrued expenses: € (390,091)
Increase in deferred tax asset: € 63,840
Net decrease in retained earnings € (255,361)
2. Business combinations
On 1 July 2011, the Group completed the acquisition of 100% of the voting rights of I-POP Networks Pte Ltd ("I-POP"), a Singapore based mobile and media services company, funded entirely by the issue of 914,865 shares in INTERNETQ PLC.
I-POP was founded in 2001 and operates directly or through subsidiaries in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. I-POP's technology and data processing centers are located in Singapore and Vietnam. In total I-POP employs 37 professionals, including sales and marketing staff, software applications engineers, designers and telecom experts.
I-POP provides direct connectivity, mobile marketing, as well as media solutions to a wide range of clients ranging from mobile network operators, FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) companies, advertising and creative agencies, as well as traditional media companies. I-POP is connected with 69 mobile network operators in Southeast Asia (32 direct and 37 through aggregators), covering more than 500 million subscribers in 19 countries.
The key strategic benefits of the acquisition include:
·; accelerates the geographical expansion of the Group to South-East Asia;
·; increases the number of the connectivity agreements of the Group with mobile network operators;
·; allows the Group to address its mobile marketing products and services to a wider customer base; and
·; enables the immediate roll-out of AKAZOO in the South-east Asia region.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed
The preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of I-POP Networks Pte Ltd as at the date of acquisition were:
Fair value recognised on the acquisition | ||||
Assets | ||||
Property plant and equipment | 69,601 | |||
Intangible assets | 1,547,361 | |||
Non current assets | 24,700 | |||

Trade Payables | 204,498 | |||
Accrued and other Liabilities | 2,096,887 | |||
Total Liabilities | 2,464,918 | |||
Total identifiable net assets at fair value | 982,678 | |||
Goodwill arising on acquisition | 2,910,315 | |||
Purchase consideration transferred | 3,892,993 |
The fair value adjustments determining the fair values of the assets and liabilities on acquisition, remain provisional since the independent valuers' exercise on determining the fair value of the intangible assets is not finalised.
Property plant and equipment consists of network and system equipment which relates to computer servers.
The fair value of the intangible assets amounting to €1,547,361, consist of IT platform software of €749,092, customers' relationships (connectivity agreements with mobile operators) of €595,083 and non compete agreements with former shareholders of €203,186. A deferred tax liability amounting to €163,233 has been recognised in respect of these intangible assets.
A deferred tax asset amounting to €515,673 was recognised in respect of the tax losses carried forward as at the acquisition date. At the reporting date the Group still anticipates sufficient future taxable profits to enable this asset to be recovered.
The fair value of the trade receivables amounting to €491,229 consisted mainly of trade accounts with mobile service providers and aggregators of mobile service providers. At the reporting date none of the trade receivables have been impaired and it is expected that the full amounts can be collected.
The fair value of trade payables amounting to €204,498 consisted mainly of accounts payable to content providers and to aggregators of mobile service providers.
Accrued and other liabilities amounting to €2,096,887 includes accrued expenses of €1,500,000 and a loan facility of €514,000 which was granted from INTERNETQ PLC prior to the acquisition date.
The goodwill of €2,910,315 comprises the value of the expected synergies arising from the acquisition. The Group believes that it would have taken several years to establish its presence in the area of South-East Asia organically. The goodwill arises mainly from the benefits that the Group is expecting from the roll out of AKAZOO in the area of South-East Asia and therefore a portion is allocated to this segment. A portion of goodwill is further allocated to the Mobile Marketing Sector where as the Group estimates that a number of campaigns are going to be conducted in cooperation with I-POP Networks Pte Ltd. The goodwill recognised is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
At the reporting date, no contingent liabilities have been identified as existing as at the acquisition date.
Since the date of acquisition, I-POP has contributed €1,750,000 of revenue and a €(530,703) loss before tax to the Group. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year, the revenue contribution to the Group would have been €3,540,000 and the negative contribution to the profit before tax of the Group would have been €(1,937,485).

Net cash flow on acquisition | (100,611) |
The Group issued 914,865 of its ordinary shares as consideration for the 100% interest in I-POP Networks Pte Ltd. The fair value of the shares is the market price of the shares of the Group at the acquisition date, which was €3.23 each (rounded to the second decimal digit due to translation from UK pound). The fair value of the consideration given is therefore € 2,956,936.
Transaction costs of €499,774 have been expensed and are included in administrative expenses.
Contingent consideration
As part of the purchase agreement with the previous owners of I-POP, a contingent consideration has been agreed. The former shareholders are entitled to a number of shares (up to 1,162,177 corresponding to €3,756,273) conditional on the achievement of certain performance conditions in the fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013. At the acquisition date the fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be €936,057.
The performance conditions relate to a) minimum revenues, b) minimum profit after tax, c) maximum operating expenses, d) maximum funding requirements to execute the yearly business plan, e) minimum number of campaigns conducted and f) minimum number of mobile subscribers base and countries of operation.
Since the performance conditions are independent of one another (and not cumulative) and since a specific number of shares corresponds to each performance condition (not a variable number depending on performance conditions) the Group treated the contingent consideration as a component of equity.
As at 31 December 2011, the performance conditions have been achieved in line with the estimations at the acquisition date. Therefore, the fair value of the contingent consideration as at 31 December 2011 has not been adjusted.
3. Segment Information
For management purposes the Group is organised into business units based on its services. Consequently, the Group has five reportable operating segments as follows:
§ The Mobile Marketing operating segment: Specially designed for campaigns on mobile telecommunications networks.
§ The AKAZOO operating segment: Services offering access to digital content (music, games, subscriptions) from the Group's internet site AKAZOO.
§ The Legacy operating segment: Media Services involving audience through compelling promotions, programs and live shows that draw attention to content.
§ The Aggregation Services operating segment: Services that enable customers' billing directly via the users' mobile phone.
§ Investment Properties: Rental income from operating leases.
No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.
The Group has decided to split the previously reported Mobile Entertainment segment into two separate segments and report AKAZOO segment separately from the Legacy segment. The significant increase of AKAZOO business during 2011, in connection with the intentions of the management and the future trends in the specific segment, resulted in management assessing AKAZOO and its operating results separately for the purpose of decision making. At the same time the declining Legacy business (mainly Greek based) was the reason for management deciding to monitor the specific business as a separate segment.
The Group, after the acquisition of I-POP in South East Asia, decided to report the aggregation services as a separate segment. The Group through this segment provides a unique, yet proven, combination of technology, software and creative services that enables the rapid development, distribution and billing for digital content, media licensing and marketing services. These services can be more easily summarized as Billing/Aggregation (that enables I-POP's partners to bill for services directly via a users' mobile phone), media content and format exploitation (for integrated brand marketing campaigns and TV shows), and enterprise solutions, that make the most out of today's mobile media revolution for corporate clients.
Moreover, management decided to separately present the Investment Property segment which in 2010 has been disclosed as "Other segment".
Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.
Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. Segment income, expenses and results will include those transfers between business segments which eliminated on consolidation.
The following tables represent revenue and profit information regarding the Group's operating segments for the years ended 31.12.2011 and 2010 respectively.
