Nettworx Plc (AIM-NTWX) is pleased to present the results for the Company for the year ended 31 December 2007.
In the interim statement for the period to 30 June 2007, it was stated that the Company had made one investment in Sim4Travel Holdings
Plc in April 2007. Subsequent to the year end, Sim4Travel repaid �500,000 of the 5% Convertible Unsecured Loan Note 2008. The balance
outstanding on the Loan Note and the remaining equity investment in Sim4Travel have been fully provided for.
The Company's cash available for future acquisitions or investments of �8.6 million remains largely intact. The investment strategy of
the Company remains unchanged, to acquire companies and businesses which could benefit from the convergence of voice, video and data, and
fixed line and mobile networks.
RESULTS
The Company commenced trading on 21 December 2006, following the admission to trading on AIM. In the year end 31 December 2007, the
Company's loss amounts to �999,646 after taxation (2006: restated loss of �285,783).
BUSINESS REVIEW
The Directors have been evaluating a number of potential acquisitions and have conducted extensive due diligence. These transactions
have not come to fruition due to competitive third parties bids, no-agreement reached on pricing of a transaction or material issues being
uncovered in the due diligence process.
The Board is continuing to evaluate further possibilities and will keep shareholders informed of any developments.
The Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2007 have been published and sent to all shareholders of the Company.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2007
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting
standards.
FINANCIAL ASSETS - AVAILABLE FOR SALE INVESTMENTS
Investments are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined from published price quotations
for listed investments, where the liquidity of the market is sufficient to make this appropriate. For non listed investments net realisable
value is determined via a review of the related Company's financial position and future prospects.
DEFERRED TAXATION
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where
transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at
the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the Company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial
statements.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates which apply in the periods in which timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax
rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted
basis.
SHARE WARRANTS
In accordance with FRS 20: Share-based payment, the Company reflects the economic cost of awarding share warrants in exchange for
services provided to the Company recording an expense in the profit and loss account equal to the fair value of the benefit awarded, which
has been calculated by reference to the Black-Scholes method. Where the share warrants granted do not vest immediately but after a specified
period of time, the fair value is expensed to the profit and loss account over the vesting period.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial
assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets
of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities.

2 PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
As a result of the adoption of FRS 20 *Share-based payments*, there is a prior period
adjustment to the profit and loss account of �308,000. Due to the fact that the FRS 20 charge
is credited back to reserves, the profit and loss revenue brought forward and total
shareholders* funds are unchanged.

5 LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of loss per share is based upon 111,000,000 being the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the
period.
The warrants have an exercise price above the fair value of the Company's shares and hence are non-dilutive.
