Appendix
Chairman's Statement
We have been through a very significant period for the Company. I will summarise events briefly and more detail can be found in our recently published Admission document
·; I was appointed Chairman on 27 April 2011
·; We have successfully addressed the production problems which impacted performance in 2010 and we appointed a new Group Chief Executive, Ofer Barda in February 2011.
·; The Company negotiated the acquisition of Digitek Holdings Ltd. ("Digitek") by way of an offer and the document covering this transaction was published on 12 September 2011. By 27 September 2011 54% of Digitek shareholders had accepted the offer. The transaction was approved by PeerTV shareholders on 28 September 2011.
·; Although our sales in the first half of the year are reduced, the markets Peer TV operates in continue to be buoyant and we believe that new products will make a significant contribution in the future.
·; We recently announced the launch of the beta version of a new Android based Set Top Box and we expect this to become an important market.
·; Digitek continues to trade profitably and should provide financial stability to our overall group results. For your convenience, the table below combines our unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2011 with those of Digitek for the same period, giving an indication of the performance of the two companies combined had the merger been effective throughout the period:

BASIS OF PREPARATION

This statement does not comprise statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 and the results for the six months ended 30 June 2011 and for the six months ended 30 June 2010 are unaudited.
