TMT INVESTMENTS PLC

("TMT" or the "Company")

Half year report for the six months to 30 June 2014

TMT Investments PLC, which invests in high-growth, internet-based companies across a variety of sectors, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the half year ended 30 June 2014.

Key highlights

   --    NAV per share of US1.30 (unchanged from 31 December 2013) 

-- A number of portfolio companies experiencing rapid growth but lack recent corporate finance transactions to record increased valuations

-- Some portfolio companies prove unsuccessful, reflecting the early-stage nature of the Company's investments

   --    Positive non-cash revaluation of Gild 
   --    Impairment of Graphicly 
   --    Negative non-cash revaluation of UsingMiles 
   --    US$1.2 million of new investments 

-- Three senior managers receiving all of their 2014 salaries in TMT shares rather than in cash, reducing cash expenses and further aligning interests of management with shareholders

-- Well placed to capitalise on investment opportunities created in the software applications, mobile apps, digital media and internet sectors, with approximately US$3.1m in net cash reserves as of the date of this report

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

Portfolio Performance

The first half of 2014 saw a number of investments evolving to either successfully growing businesses or proving to be unsuccessful. TMT has now invested in over 35 companies since its floatation in December 2010 and has a diversified portfolio focused around mobile software applications, cloud solutions, advertising technologies, online social networks and data and project management software. This level of diversification helps absorb any write offs or negative revaluations that occur, and our NAV per share as of 30 June 2014 stayed unchanged at US$1.30.

The following developments took place within the Company's portfolio in the first half of 2014:

Cash and part-cash exits:

   --    There were no cash or part-cash exists in the reporting period. 

Positive non-cash revaluations:

-- In May 2014, Gild, Inc. ("Gild"), which identifies and ranks outstanding IT programmers through harnessing big data and its own proprietary algorithm, completed a new equity financing round. The transaction represents an uplift of approximately US$379,000 (or 223%) in the fair value of TMT's investment in Gild, compared to the amount reported as of 31 December 2013.

Impairments and write-offs:

-- In May 2014, Graphicly, Inc. ("Graphicly"), an e-book publishing and distribution platform, announced its decision to wind up its operations and that no assets or proceeds would be available for distribution to Graphicly's shareholders. TMT is pursuing a course of actions to recover its investment in Graphicly but considers it prudent to incur an impairment charge equal to 100% of the fair value of the Company's investment in Graphicly (approx. US$485,825).

Negative non-cash revaluations:

-- In October 2013, Universal Points Exchange, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Source, Inc. ("Source") and Help Worldwide, Inc. ("HelpWW"), agreed to acquire the assets of UsingMiles Inc. ("UM") for shares ("Transaction"). A UM liquidating trust ("Trust") has been established for the purposes of the Transaction. As a result of the Transaction, the Trust owns 2.72% of the common stock in Source and 2.455% of the common stock in HelpWW. The Trust will hold these shares until there is a liquidity event for Source and/or HelpWW or the Board of Trustees determines to distribute the shares, at which time it will distribute the proceeds to the former shareholders of UM. Once the creditors are paid off, any distributions will next go to the Series A investors pro-rata until they receive their preference of roughly US$5M, of which TMT will receive 5.89%. After the Series A is paid off, TMT will receive 3.08% of the remaining proceeds. The Transaction closed on 31 December 2013, and TMT agreed to be included in the Trust on 11 August 2014. The transaction represents a reduction of approximately US$230,000 (or 89%) in the fair value of TMT's investment in UM, compared to the amount reported as of 31 December 2013.

New investments

In the first half of 2014, the Company invested US$860,000 in five new companies (technology developer for visually impaired people PROvision/Oriense, smartphone solution provider for senior citizens E2C, mobile tech discovery service Drippler, on-demand business research platform Whale Path, and "Internet of Everything" software developer Weaved), as well as an additional US$350,000 in three existing portfolio companies (Gentoo/Contacts+, rollApp, and KitApps/Attendify).

NAV per share

The Company's net asset value per share as of 30 June 2014 was US$1.30 (31 December 2013: US$1.30).

Operating Expenses

In the first half of 2014, the Company's Administrative Expenses of US$652,287 were in line with the first half of 2013 levels (US$649,772). Total Operating Expenses decreased in the reporting period due to the lower share-based option charge of US$94,848 (first half of 2013: US$327,749).

Financial position

As of 30 June 2014, the Company had US$3.1 million in cash reserves. In July 2014, TMT raised US$2.65 million at US$1.85 per sharefrom a number of new and existing investors. As of the date of this report, the Company has no debt and approximately US$3.1 million in cash reserves.

Events after the reporting period and outlook

Since 30 June 2014, the Company has invested US$2.2 million in six new companies (productivity software developer Quote Roller, fashion rental platform Le Tote, news reading app Anews, social intelligence platform Twtrland, mobile interface application Drupe, and taxi booking app Taxify), as well as US$600,000 in existing portfolio company Adinch.

In August 2014, TMT announced the sale of its entire equity stake in The One-Page Company, Inc. TMT's total consideration received pursuant to the transaction was US$509,740, representing an internal rate of return ("IRR") of 32%. TMT originally invested US$250,000 in One-Page on 6 February 2012.

Further information on subsequent events is shown in note 16 to the financial information.

We continue to have a strong pipeline of new investment opportunities, and intend to complete a number of new and follow-on investments by the end of 2014. With a number of our portfolio companies experiencing rapid growth, we expect a number of positive revaluations of our investee companies. At the same time, given the risky nature of earlier-stage venture capital investments, we expect some negative revaluations in due course as well.

We look forward to updating our shareholders on the Company's progress in the near future.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

   1.         Company information 

TMT Investments Plc ("TMT" or the "Company") is a company incorporated in Jersey with its registered office at Queensway House, Hilgrove Street, St Helier, JE1 1ES, Channel Islands.

The Company was incorporated and registered on 30 September 2010 in Jersey under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 with registration number 106628 under the name TMT Investments Limited. The Company obtained consent from the Jersey Financial Services Commission pursuant to the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1985 on 30 September 2010. On 1 December 2010 the Company re-registered as a public company and changed its name to TMT Investments PLC.

TMT is traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.

The memorandum and articles of association of the Company do not restrict its activities and therefore it has unlimited legal capacity. The Company's ability to implement its Investment Policy and achieve its desired returns will be limited by its ability to identify and acquire suitable investments. Suitable investment opportunities may not always be readily available.

The Company will seek to make investments in any region of the world.

The financial information relating to the six months ended 30 June 2014 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts. The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2013 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that financial year. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2013 were approved by the Board of Directors on 28 April 2014. The report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not contain any qualification.

These unaudited interim financial results were approved by the Board of Directors on 22 September 2014 and are available on the Company's website http://www.tmtinvestments.com/investor-relations/financial-reports/.

   2.         Summary of significant accounting policies 
   2.1     Basis of presentation 

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these unaudited interim results are based on International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, including IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', and in accordance with the accounting policies which the Company expects to adopt in its next annual accounts for the year ending 31 December 2014 and are the same as those applied by the Company in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.

The Company's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with that disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.

For the purposes of IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' the Company currently has one segment, being 'Investing in the TMT sector'. No further operating segment financial information is therefore disclosed.

   2.2     Foreign currency translation 

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured in United States Dollars ('US dollars', 'USD' or 'US$'), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into US$ using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange differences arising from the translation at the half year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

   7       Loss per share 

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based upon the net loss for six months ended 30 June 2014 attributable to the ordinary shareholders of US$1,301,114 (for six months ended 30 June 2013: net loss of US$1,115,050) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding calculated as follows:

 
 Loss per share                              For the six months ended 30/06/2014   For the six months ended 30/06/2013 
------------------------------------------  ------------------------------------  ------------------------------------ 
 Basic loss per share (cents per share)                                   (5.20)                                (4.45)

------------------------------------------  ------------------------------------  ------------------------------------ 
 

The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding before and after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares calculated as follows:

 
 (in number of shares weighted during the period              For the six months ended 30/06/2014   For the six months 
 outstanding)                                                                                         ended 30/06/2013

 Ordinary shares                                                                       25,004,432           25,040,269 
                                                                                       25,004,432           25,040,269 
-----------------------------------------------------------  ------------------------------------  ------------------- 
 Effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares 
 Share options                                                                            912,444              944,942 
-----------------------------------------------------------  ------------------------------------  ------------------- 
 Weighted average of shares for the period (fully diluted)                             25,916,876           25,985,211 
-----------------------------------------------------------  ------------------------------------  ------------------- 
 

The diluted loss per share for both 2014 and 2013 is the same as the basic loss per share because the conversion of the share options decreases the basic loss per share and is therefore anti-dilutive.

Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair values. Where financial assets do not have a quoted market price in an active market and their fair values cannot be reliably measured they are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of reporting period, in accordance with IAS 39 para 46 (c) exemption.

Where there has been a relevant transaction during the year that gives an indication of the fair value of the unlisted shares, the shares are included at that fair value and the increase or decrease in fair value is recognised in the fair value reserve.

The "price of recent investment" methodology is used mainly for investments in venture capital companies and includes cost of investment or valuation by reference to a subsequent financing round. Valuation increases above cost are only recognised if that round involved a new external investor and the company is meeting milestones set by investor.

-----------------------  ---------------  ------------------- 
 

* or a period of 30 days starting from the date on which certain circumstances preventing exercise during these periods have ended.

These options are exercisable by Mr. Alexander Selegenev only while he remains a director and will lapse on the termination of his appointment.

33,334 options that vested to Mr. Selegenev in the year ended 31 December 2013 were exercised. The exercise price was US$1.00 per ordinary share in accordance with the conditions of the option agreement. The share price on the date of exercise was USD1.81.

All options granted under the above agreement have now lapsed or been exercised.

On 24 October 2012, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share option plan (the "Plan") for directors, officers, employees of or consultants to the Company and/or any company directly or indirectly controlled by the Company.

Under the Plan, options for a total of 7,500,000 ordinary shares in the Company, representing approximately 30% of the then issued share capital (or 23% of the enlarged share capital at the time, assuming full exercise of the options), can be made available at an exercise price determined by the Board or its remuneration committee, which will not be less than the closing middle market price for the Company's share on AIM on the date of grant as published by or on behalf of the London Stock Exchange plc. Options will vest on a daily basis over a period of 3 years whilst the option holder remains eligible, and vested options can be exercised on each anniversary of the grant, but if not exercised within 1 year from the allowable date of exercise, will lapse.

The following options, without performance conditions, have been granted under the Plan on 25 October 2012:

 
                                                     Option
