Auditors Report: Emphasis of matter - going concern
In forming our opinion, which is not modified, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made within note 1e of the accounting policies concerning the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern. The group incurred a net loss of $3,048,000 during the year ended 31 December 2013 and had net liabilities of $6,339,000 as at that date. This, along with the other matters explained within note 1e of the accounting policies indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast a significant doubt about the group and company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the group and company were unable to continue as a going concern.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013
I was appointed Chairman in May 2013. During 2013 the Group continued to focus on realising the potential of both its business units, Peer TV and Digitek, by exploiting the competitive advantages and positive developments in its market sectors.
Peer TV
The PeerTV business made significant progress during 2013. The first delivery of our Android set top box was made to our major customer in May 2013. However, the customer's product launch was delayed until January 2014 due to a combination of issues outside the control of PeerTV, including requests from the customer for additional features.
During 2013, our sales team succeeded in identifying several major prospects. However, due to the demands for substantial customisation and ongoing support, it was decided to focus resources on our major customer to ensure a successful deployment as a reference for expansion of the customer base.
I am very pleased to report that the reaction to the product of both our customer and the end users has been extremely positive, confirming the importance of PeerTV being the first vendor in the market with an Android based solution. The launch has resulted in approaches from at least two new customers, one of which has placed an initial order, as part of a framework order for a more significant quantity.
Investment raised in 2014 will be utilised for marketing to expand the customer base. Our development program will result in a series of innovative features which will further strengthen our competitive advantage.
We are seeing consistent and significant growth in interest and adoption of Smart TV solutions which bridge the gap between the Internet and traditional television, and anticipate rising demand for our products.
Digitek
During the year management focus at Digitek was on strengthening the customer base and obtaining the standard approvals necessary to address certain high growth sectors, including the military and medical equipment, which offer the possibility of mass production orders.
Improved sales volumes and the introduction of new important customers during the final quarter of 2013 demonstrated the success of the approach. In some cases, shortages of working capital have prevented Digitek from taking full advantage of the opportunities generated by being unable to finance the inventory of components required for large scale turnkey projects.
The Digitek team has made great steps in repositioning the business, while simultaneously dealing with serious financial challenges. Major new customers have been recruited. In May 2014 we announced a purchase order from an overseas customer of a minimum of $6.3 million for delivery in 2014. The receipt of this order for mass production represents an important milestone and we are optimistic that it will result in further high value contracts.
The board has managed its financial challenges successfully during 2013 through further issues of debt and equity finance.
Thanks go to our chief executive Avi Vermus, directors and members of staff, together with our advisors for their hard work and support during the year. We look forward to building on the significant progress that is being made in both businesses during 2014.
