Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to report the interim results for the six months ended 30 June
2006. The results relate to a period prior to the acquisition of Emblaze V CON
Ltd ("Emblaze V CON") which was completed on 13 July 2006 and as such only
reflect the trading activities of the card operations.
Financial Overview
In April 2006, the Company decided to discontinue the card operations but
continues to support its existing customers. As a result of this decision, 17
employees including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer
ceased employment with the Company.
The Company's revenue decreased to $251,000 (H1 2005: $357,000) and net losses
increased to $2.6 million compared with a loss of $2.1 million in the first half
of 2005.
The Company's operating loss for the period was $2.7 million (H1 2005: $1.4
million) and the net loss per share was $0.13 (H1 2005: $0.10 loss per share).
Current Trading
Since the completion of the acquisition of Emblaze V CON, the principal
activities of the Company have been the provision of video over-IP conferencing
solutions. The Directors continue to be encouraged by the progress Emblaze V CON
has demonstrated in strengthening and improving its leadership position in IP
based videoconferencing.
Strategy
The demand for communication tools using IP (Internet Protocol) standards is
expected to increase as corporations worldwide move to replace and converge
their legacy analog systems into more advanced IP based products.
In order to broaden the Company's existing product offering and to meet this
expected demand the Board is actively seeking to acquire companies which offer
telecommunication over IP products and technologies aimed at the enterprise and
corporate markets.
The Company intends to become a "one stop shop" by being able to provide a
portfolio of IP based communications products.
Emblaze V CON, which specialises in the provision of corporate video
conferencing solutions over IP to its global blue chip customer base, is the
Company's first acquisition as part of this growth strategy.
Board Changes
Following the announcement on 21 September 2006 in which the Company announced
it had relieved Mr Moshe Leder of his duties as chief executive of Emblaze V
CON. Late on 28 Sepetmber 2006, the Company received Mr Moshe Leder's
resignation from his position as a director of the Company and as director of
Emblaze V CON.
Summary
The half year results represent a period in which the Company's activities were
being restructured and are not indicative of future trading activities. The
Company has discontinued the card operations and following the acquisition of
Emblaze VCON is now developing and selling advanced video conferencing over-IP
solutions and technology.
Commenting on the results Hans Wagner, Chairman of Zone-IP, said:
"This is the beginning of a new direction for the Company. We have a clear
vision of being able to offer multiple IP products and solutions to the global
enterprise markets. There is a strong demand for applications running over IP
including simple phone call management and sophisticated multi-point remote
sites video communication. We have a strong team that understands the market and
are capable of identifying suitable acquisition targets in order that we can
build an IP applications company serving the corporate market. By seeking to
build such a group my fellow directors and I are confident we can increase
shareholder value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1:- GENERAL
a. These financial statements have been prepared as of 30 June 2006 and for
the six months then ended. These financial statements are to be read in
conjunction with the audited annual financial statements of the Company as
of 31 December 2005 and their accompanying notes.
b. At the end of May 2006, the Company signed an agreement with Emblaze V Con
Ltd. ("EVC") and its shareholders under which the Company was to acquire
EVC in exchange for the issuance of shares that will represent 60 per cent.
of the outstanding shares of the Company immediately following the
consummation of the agreement with EVC's shareholders.
The consummation of the agreement was approved by the shareholders of Ki-Bi
at the annual general meeting ("AGM") of the Company that took place on 12
July 2006. Due to the size of EVC in relation to the size of the Company,
the acquisition constituted a reverse takeover under the London Stock
Exchange Rules and therefore required the prior approval of the AGM.
As part of a reorganisation and the negotiations for the acquisition of
EVC, in April 2006, the Company's Board of Directors decided to cease the
current Ki-Bi cards operations. As part of the decision, the employment of
17 employees including the Company's CEO and CFO was terminated and
write-off of inventory in the amount $295.
c. In July 2006, the Company changed its name from Ki-Bi Mobile Technologies
Ltd to Zone-IP Ltd.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the
preparation of the interim financial information are the same as those applied
in the annual financial statements of the Company as of 31 December 2005.
This financial information have been prepared in a condensed format as of 30
June 2006 and for the six months then ended ("interim financial information").
This financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited annual financial statements and accompanying notes as of 31 December
2005 and for the year then ended. Operating results for the six-month period
ended 30 June 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended 31 December 2006.
NOTE 3:- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN U.S. DOLLARS
a. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International
Financing Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
b. Foreign currency translation:
The majority of the Company's sales are made outside Israel in non Israeli
currencies, mainly the U.S. dollar and GBP. A substantial portion of the
Company's expenses, mainly selling and marketing expenses and production
costs is incurred in or linked to U.S. dollars. The financing of the
Company is in U.S. dollars. Therefore, the Company has determined that the
U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment of the
Company, and thus its functional and reporting currency.
Assets and liabilities in or linked to non-U.S. dollar currencies are
included in the financial statements according to the representative
exchange rate as published by the Bank of Israel on balance sheet date.
NOTE 4:- LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of loss per share is based on the loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders of $2,634,000 (2005: $2,072,000) divided by the weighted average
number of shares in issue during the year, being 20,401,657 (2005: 20,395,101)
shares.
NOTE 5:- DIVIDENDS
No dividend is proposed for the six months ended 30 June 2006.
