These strong financial results were achieved as a result of a steadily increasing monthly profit and strong organic growth of the business across the entire VoIP and broadband product range. The growth in business enterprise customers with higher ARPU (average revenue per user) has accelerated further with Virtual PBX and SIP Trunk services now numbering over 600 while Naked ADSL subscribers are growing steadily. Another significant development is My Net Fone s customer profile continues to widen with many well known Australian enterprises now customers of My Net Fone, reaffirming My Net Fone as a trusted and credible brand in the market place. With record growth of sales revenue, My Net Fone maintained gross margins at 43% and contained operating expenses at a moderate 18% increase. My Net Fone has increased its cash reserve as a result of top-line revenue growth while maintaining margin and controlling expenses, and has now achieved 7 consecutive quarters of positive cash flow. In addition to offering attractive product bundles, My Net Fone s growth strategy includes the delivery of excellent customer service. A recent internal survey by the company shows over 96% of My Net Fone s customers are either satisfied or very satisfied with its service and would refer their friends, relatives and work colleagues to join the My Net Fone service. The company expects growth to continue, with households increasingly swapping from the traditional telephone line to Naked ADSL bundled broadband & VoIP services; while business customers are finding exceptional value with My Net Fone s Virtual PBX service without having to invest and maintain costly equipment. Other enhanced services including SMS s and multi-party audio conference products continue the trend of upward growth. For more information, visit

9 5. Operating expenses The operating expenses only increased by 17.8% as a result of productivity and efficiency gains from continuing processes of automation and economies of scale. Operating expenses Half year ended Half year ended % increase 31 December December 08 $2,169,983 1,841, % 6. Increase in customer number The customer numbers subscribing to MyNetFone service reached 77,000 as of December 2009 December 09 December 08 % increase Customer number 77,000 65, % Business results summary My Net Fone has consistently delivered superior value propositions and quality product offerings to its customers, resulting in an increase in customer sign-up and usage of VoIP, broadband and other enhanced services. In addition to the growth of VoIP sign-ups, My Net Fone now has 1000 naked ADSL customers for bundled VoIP and broadband data services and 500 Virtual PBX and SIP trunking business users. It is evident that customers increasingly prefer to sign up bundled broadband and VoIP services to deal with one provider with a single bill, rather than signing up with different providers for a multitude of services in order to minimise multiple handling. In addition, My Net Fone offers voice solutions like 13/1800 numbers and number portability as well as enhances services like SMS s over VoIP account, multi-party audio conferencing facilities, VPN and hosting, which customers especially business users are finding convenient and easy to use. These voice solutions and enhanced services together with VoIP and broadband service provide stickiness to customers and reduce the potential of churn. Business Outlook My Net Fone expects the growth of its business in terms of new sign-ups and usage of service to continue. Customers increasingly have confidence to swap the traditional landline telephone with naked ADSL bundled VoIP and broadband services and do away with monthly line rentals all together which are perceived to offer little value. Business customers find the Virtual PBX service attractive as they do not need to invest in and operate costly PBX equipment. Another attraction of the Virtual PBX service is the ease and versatility of its operations. The company expects to continue signing up residential and business enterprise customers in the remaining half year by promoting a range of VoIP and data services in specific vertical market segments. Internally, the company has adopted a process of constant and incremental improvements across all parts of its business to achieve operational automation and efficiency. The company is on track to deliver profitable growth in the second half of the year and the Directors are comfortable with the cash position. DIVIDEND No dividends were declared or paid since the start of the financial year. No recommendation for payment of dividends has been made. 3

16 ` Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of Preparation These general-purpose financial statements for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2009 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001and Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of My Net Fone Limited and its controlled entities (the Group). As such it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2009, together with any public announcements made during the half-year. The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements except for the adoption of the following new and Revised Accounting Standards. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards The Company has adopted the following amendments issued by Australian Accounting Standards Board, which are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January (i) AASB 8: Operating Segments and AASB : Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8. AASB 8 and AASB are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January Application of these standards has not affected any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but has affected the segment disclosures provided in Note 5. (ii) Revised AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB : Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101 (effective from 1 January 2009). The September 2007 revised AASB 101 required the presentation of a statement of comprehensive income and makes changes to the statement of changes in equity, but will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. If an entity has made a prior period adjustment or has reclassified items in the financial statements, it will need to disclose a third balance sheet (statement of financial position), this one being at the beginning of the comparative period. (b) Reporting Basis and Conventions The half-year financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical cost. For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period. The half-year consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of My Net Fone Limited and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2009 (the Group). (c) Going concern The financial report has been prepared on the basis of a going concern. The basis presumes that funds will be available to finance future operations and that realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities will occur in the normal course of business. The Directors believe that the company and the consolidated entity will be able to fund future operations through share issues, the exercising of options, control of costs and the continued growth in its customer base. Notwithstanding the above, the directors acknowledge there are a number of risk factors that materially affect the consolidated entity s future profitability and cash flows. These risk factors were fully disclosed in the 30 June 2009 annual financial statements. The group operates in a very competitive environment where the generation of sufficient profitable business is essential to the continuing operation of the group. 10

17 ` Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2009 The group will operate as a going concern dependent on revenue growth from its customers and the continued support of its shareholders. The financial statements take no account of the consequences, if any, of the effects of either insufficient revenue growth, or, of the inability of the Company to obtain adequate additional funding from its shareholders if required. 2.
