TMT INVESTMENTS PLC
("TMT" or the "Company")
Results for the year ended 31 December 2016
TMT Investments PLC, the venture capital company which invests
in high-growth, technology companies across a number of core
specialist sectors, is pleased to announce its final results for
the year ended 31 December 2016.
-- US$6.15 million of profitable cash exits from Depositphotos (partial) and VitalFields (full)
-- US$4.08 million positive revaluation of Pipedrive
-- US$2.57 million impairment of WhalePath, Adinch and Gild
-- US$2.25 million allocated to new and follow-on investments
(Vinebox, Send A Job, Attendify, Sixa, Virool, APPrise, Try the
World, and Scentbird)
-- Special dividend of US$0.10 per share paid in November 2016
-- NAV per share of US$1.89 (down 1% from US$1.91 as of 31 December 2015)
-- Diversified portfolio of over 30 companies focused around big
data, e-commerce, and business SaaS (software-as-a-service)
tools
-- Many portfolio companies continue to experience rapid growth
-- Strong expectations of a number of positive revaluations in 2017
Alexander Selegenev, Executive Director of TMT, commented: "2016
was another successful year for the Company, with several sizeable
revaluations and exits across our portfolio. There is always an
asymmetric approach when revaluing the portfolio's assets. The
downward re-valuations generally precede the upgrades, which
normally only come when there is a tangible 3(rd) party equity
transaction. This has the effect of dulling the NAV performance in
the first several years of the portfolio's life.
However, we were especially pleased to have effected a major
partial disposal in cash of our stake in stock photo marketplace
Depositphotos for US$5.83m net. This allowed us to keep investing
in promising new companies as well as reinvesting in our most
successful portfolio companies to date as they continue to grow. A
recent US$17m capital raise by Pipedrive, one of our star portfolio
companies, has increased the fair value of our investment in
Pipedrive by US$4.08 million. In total, positive revaluations have
added 15.2 cents to the Company's NAV per share.
As the portfolio matures, it is not surprising to register some
impairments, of which we made three in 2016. These reduced the
Company's NAV by 9.3 cents per share.
The Company paid a maiden dividend of 10 cents per share in
November 2016, and the net result was that our NAV per share as of
31 December 2016 decreased only slightly to US$1.89 (down 1% from
US$1.91 as of 31 December 2015)."
Alexander Selegenev added: "TMT has successfully exited from 9
investments (including two partial exits) since its admission to
AIM in December 2010 to date. This demonstrates the management
team's ability to identify highly promising companies with
exceptional leadership at an early stage. Given the rapid growth
experienced by a significant number of our portfolio companies, we
strongly expect 2017 to produce several further positive
revaluations across our portfolio."

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Although quieter than 2015, 2016 has been another successful
year for the Company, with a number of sizeable revaluations and
exits across our portfolio. As a result, even after the payment of
the Company's maiden dividend of 10 cents per share in November
2016, our NAV per share as of 31 December 2016 decreased only
slightly to US$1.89 (down 1% from US$1.91 as of 31 December 2015).
TMT has now invested in over 40 companies since its admission to
AIM in December 2010 and has a diversified portfolio of over 30
investees focused primarily on big data, e-commerce, and business
SaaS (software-as-a-service) tools.
Portfolio Performance
Following the exceptional performance in calendar year 2015, in
which over 10 of the Company's portfolio companies experienced
positive revaluations for a total of US$18.5 million, 2016 was
relatively quieter as the portfolio continued to mature. Key
highlights included the partial disposal of our successful
investment in stock photo marketplace Depositphotos and the
significant positive revaluation of our equity stake in Pipedrive.
We continue to pursue a conservative approach to valuations of
poorly performing assets and wrote down three of our investee
companies in 2016 for a combined total of US$2.57 million. This was
more than offset by the US$2.55 million fair value uplift on the
partial disposal of our investment in Depositphotos and the US$4.08
million fair value uplift in our investment in Pipedrive.
The following developments took place within the Company's
portfolio in 2016:
Cash and partial cash exits, and positive non-cash
revaluations:
-- As announced in March 2016, the Company sold a sizeable part
of its holding in Depositphotos for a net cash consideration of
US$5.83 million to a private European investor. The transaction
represented an approximately 5.5 times increase in the valuation of
TMT's holding in Depositphotos since its original investments in
2011, 2012 and 2015, and an approximately US$2.55 million (or 18%)
uplift in fair value compared to the previously reported amount as
of 31 December 2015.
-- In November 2016, farm management software provider
VitalFields was acquired by The Climate Corporation, a subsidiary
of Monsanto. The acquisition by Monsanto became the ninth
profitable exit by TMT from its investment portfolio since its
admission to AIM in December 2010 and represented a US$145,329 (or
84%) uplift in fair value compared to the previously reported
amount as of 31 December 2015.
-- As announced in January 2017, Pipedrive, Inc. ("Pipedrive")
completed a US$17 million Series B equity financing round, led by
Atomico, with participation from Bessemer Venture Partners and
Rembrandt Venture Partners. The transaction represented a
revaluation uplift of approximately US$4.08 million (or 132%) in
the fair value of TMT's investment in Pipedrive, compared to the
previously reported amount as of 31 December 2015.
Impairments and write-offs:
-- As announced in our interim accounts, in the first half of
2016, Whale Path, Inc. suspended its operations after not securing
further funding. Accordingly, the Company incurred an impairment
charge equal to 100% of the previously reported fair value of the
Company's investment, as well as unpaid accumulated interest
payable to TMT of approximately US$220,000 in total.
-- As announced in our interim accounts, online advertising
platform Adinch, in which TMT invested in 2013, has suffered from
the challenging economic conditions in Russia in the last three
years, as well as certain recent operating issues. Accordingly, in
the first half of 2016 the Board of TMT considered it prudent to
incur an impairment charge equal to US$1.8 million, or 75% of the
fair value of the Company's investment in Adinch previously
reported as of 31 December 2015.
-- In the second half of 2016, online recruitment platform Gild,
in which TMT invested in 2011, was sold to a strategic buyer.
Unfortunately, the size of the consideration was not sufficient for
any of Gild's preferred or common stockholders to participate in
the distribution of proceeds. Accordingly, the Company wrote off
the entire value of its investment in Gild of US$549,345 previously
reported as of 31 December 2015.

NAV per share
The Company's net asset value per share as of 31 December 2016
decreased to US$1.89 (31 December 2015: US$1.91).
Operating Expenses
In 2016, the Company's Administrative Expenses of US$1,065,442
were broadly in line with the 2015 levels (US$997,705). Total
Operating Expenses increased in the reporting period due to the
bonus charge of US$837,359 (2015: zero), covering the first period
of the Company's bonus plan from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016.
Dividends
In November 2016, the Company paid its first special dividend of
US$0.10 per share, for the total of US$2,774,496.
Financial position
The partial disposal of our successful investment in stock photo
marketplace Depositphotos for a net consideration of US$5.83
million significantly improved the Company's cash position in 2016.
TMT's founders and senior managers German Kaplun, Artyom Inyutin
and Alexander Morgulchik extended their commitment to helping the
Company's cash position by deferring half of their respective 2016
salaries (a total of US$150,000) until 31 December 2018. In
addition, the same senior managers agreed to defer the entire
amounts of their respective bonus awards due to them under the
terms of the Company's bonus plan for the financial period from 1
July 2015 to 30 June 2016 (a total of US$489,855), until 31
December 2019. Accordingly, despite the Company's payment of its
first dividend in November 2016 and continuing investment
programme, as of 31 December 2016 the Company had no financial debt
and approximately US$1.06 million in cash reserves. As of the date
of this report, the Company has approximately US$870,000 in cash
reserves.
Events after the reporting period
TMT's founders and senior managers German Kaplun, Artyom Inyutin
and Alexander Morgulchik agreed to defer half of their respective
2017 salaries (a total of US$150,000) until 31 December 2019.
Outlook
2016 was our sixth full year as a publicly traded company.
Against the backdrop of continuing investor interest in the
Tech/Internet sector, and expected revival in the Tech IPO and
M&A markets, we expect to see a number of positive revaluations
across our portfolio, especially from our star portfolio
companies.
We continue to see exciting investment opportunities in our
chosen sectors and look forward to updating our shareholders on the
Company's progress in the near future.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARED 31 DECEMBER
2016
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.
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.
Financial statements of the Company are prepared by and approved
by the Directors in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and their
interpretations issued or adopted by the International Accounting
Standards Board as adopted by the European Union ("IFRSs"). The
Company's accounting reference date is 31 December.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1 Basis of presentation
The principal accounting policies applied by the Company in the
preparation of these financial statements are set out below and
have been applied consistently.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, under the historical cost basis as modified by the fair
value of available-for-sale financial assets, as explained in the
accounting policies below, and in accordance with IFRS. Historical
cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration
given in exchange for assets.
2.2 Going concern
The Directors confirm that, after giving due consideration to
the financial position and expected cash flows of the Company, they
have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate
cash resources to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future, and for at least one year from the date of
approval of these financial statements and they have therefore
adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial
statements.
2.3 Segmental reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker
who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments and which has been identified
as the Board of Directors that make strategic decisions. For the
purposes of IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' the Company currently has
one segment, being 'Investing in the TMT sector'.
Even though the Company only has one segment, there are still
geographical disclosures that need to be made to comply with IFRS 8
'Operating Segments'.
The Company analyses revenue and non-current financial assets
according to the geographical location of the investment (see note
4).
2.4 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 year-end
exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive
income.

--------------------- -------------- ------------
2.5 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at bank and in hand,
deposits held at call with banks, bank overdrafts and other
short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less from the date of acquisition.
2.6 Financial assets
Recognition and measurement
Investments are recognized and de-recognized on a date where the
purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms
require the delivery or settlement of the investment. The Company
manages its investments with a view to profiting from the receipt
of dividends and changes in fair value of equity investments.
"Available-for-sale" financial instruments include unlisted
equity investments and convertible promissory loan notes. Equity
instruments classified as available-for-sale are those which are
neither classified as held-for-trading nor designated as fair value
through profit or loss. Convertible promissory loan notes are
treated as similar in nature to the unlisted equity investments and
designated as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair values except
for financial assets that do not have a quoted market price in an
active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured
which are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at
the end of the period in accordance with the IAS 39 para 46 (c)
exemptions. Fair value information has therefore not been disclosed
for those investments.
Where there has been a relevant transaction during the year that
gives an indication of the fair value of the available-for-sale
unlisted shares, the shares are included at that fair value and the
increase or decrease in fair value is recognised in the investment
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 investors.
Investments are classified on recognition as "fair value through
profit and loss" when their fair values can be estimated reliably
on a regular basis and when they are managed on a fair value basis.
Fair value changes of investments at fair value through profit and
loss are included within profit/loss in the income statement. At 31
December 2016 all investments are classified as
"available-for-sale" and none are classified as "fair value through
profit and loss".
Financial assets that qualify as an associate as 20% or more of
the voting rights are held by the company, are exempt from IAS 28
'Investments in Associates', as TMT Investments plc is a venture
capital organisation. Such investments are therefore treated as
available-for-sale financial assets.
Income
Interest income from convertible notes receivable is recognized
as it accrues by reference to the principal outstanding and the
effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly
discounts the estimated future cash flows through the expected life
of the financial asset to the asset's carrying value.
Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective
evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative
effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. In the
case of available for sale assets, a significant or prolonged
decline in the fair value of the financial asset below its cost is
considered an indicator that the financial assets are impaired.
If objective evidence indicates that financial assets that are
carried at cost need to be tested for impairment, calculations are
based on information derived from business plans and other
information available for estimating their fair value. Any
impairment loss is included in profit/loss for the year in the
Statement of Comprehensive Income.
2.7 Net finance income
Net finance income comprises interest income on deposits.
Interest income is recognized as it accrues in the statement of
comprehensive income, using the effective interest method. Finance
costs comprise interest expenses on borrowings and the unwinding of
the discount on provisions.
2.8 Taxation
Deferred tax is provided in full using the liability method, on
temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
Deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a
business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects
neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is
determined using tax rates that are expected to apply when the
related deferred tax asset is realised or when the deferred tax
liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the temporary differences can be
utilised.
2.9 Equity instruments
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly
attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a
deduction from the proceeds.
2.10 Share-based payments
The fair value of options granted to employees is recognized as
an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over
the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to
the options. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to
reflect the actual number of share options that vest. For equity
settled share-based payment transactions other than transactions
with employees the Company measures the goods or services received
at their fair value, unless that fair value cannot be estimated
reliably. If this is the case the Company measures their fair
values and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by
reference to the fair value of equity instruments granted.
The Company enters into arrangements that are equity-settled
share-based payments with certain employees. These are measured at
fair value at the date of grant, which is then recognized in the
statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the
vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of shares that will
eventually vest. Fair value is measured by use of an appropriate
model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken
of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the
price of the shares of TMT Investments. The charge is adjusted at
each year end date to reflect the actual number of forfeitures,
cancellations and leavers during the period. The movement in
cumulative charges since the previous year end is recognized in the
statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding entry in
equity.
2.11 New IFRSs and interpretations not applied
The IASB has issued the following standards and interpretations
which have been endorsed by the European Union to be applied to
financial statements with periods commencing on or after the
following dates:
Effective for period beginning on or after
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 1 January 2018
======= ===================================== ==========================================
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 1 January 2018
======= ===================================== ==========================================
The IASB has also issued the following standards and
interpretations which have not been endorsed by the European
Union:
Effective for period beginning on or after
IFRS 16 Leases 1 January 2019
======= ========================================== ==========================================
The Directors do not anticipate that the adoption of these
standards and interpretations will have a material impact on the
financial statements in the period of initial application and have
decided not to adopt any of them early.
2.12 Accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements need to be regularly evaluated and are
based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. The Company makes estimates and
assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting
estimates will, by definition, rarely equal the related actual
results.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in
the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects
only that period or in the period of the revision and future
periods if the revision affects both current and future
periods.
The estimates significant to the financial statements during the
year and at the year-end is the consideration of the fair value of
available-for-sale assets, the impairment of available-for-sale
assets and share-based payment calculations, as set out in the
relevant accounting policies shown above. A number of the
available-for-sale financial assets held by the Company are at an
early stage of their development. The Company cannot yet carry out
regular reliable fair value estimates of some of these investments.
Future events or transactions involving the companies invested in
may result in more accurate valuations of their fair values (either
upwards or downwards) which may affect the Company's overall net
asset value.

9 Earnings/(Loss) per share
The calculation of basic gain per share is based upon the net
gain for the year ended 31 December 2016 attributable to the
ordinary shareholders of US$1,763,327 (2015: net loss of
US$3,250,752) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding calculated as follows:
Earnings/(Loss) per share For the year ended 31/12/2016 For the year ended 31/12/2015
---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------
Basic earnings/(loss) per share (cents per share) 6.36 (11.75)
Earnings/(Loss) attributable to equity holders of
the entity 1,763,327 (3,250,752)
---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------
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 year For the year ended 31/12/2016 For the year ended 31/12/2015
outstanding)
---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------
Weighted average number of shares in issue
Ordinary shares 27,744,962 27,744,962
27,744,962 27,744,962
---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------
Effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares
Share options - (21,099)
---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------
Weighted average of shares for the year (fully
diluted) 27,744,962 27,723,863
---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------
The diluted loss per share for 2015 is 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.

On 24 October 2012, the 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), could be made available at
an exercise price determined by the Board or its remuneration
committee, which would 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 were to vest on a daily basis over a period of 3 years
whilst the option holder remains eligible, and vested options could
be exercised on each anniversary of the grant, but if not exercised
within 1 year from the allowable date of exercise, would lapse.
None of the options that vested in Year 3 under the Plan were
exercised, and those options have now lapsed.

18 Capital management
The capital structure of the Company consists of equity share
capital, reserves, and retained losses.
The Board's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to
maintain investor and market confidence and to enable the
successful future development of the business.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital
requirements.
No changes were made to the objectives, policies and process for
managing capital during the year.
19 Financial risk management and financial instruments
The Company has identified the following risks arising from its
activities and has established policies and procedures to manage
these risks. The Company's principal financial assets are cash and
cash equivalents, investments in equity shares, and convertible
notes receivable.
Credit risk
As at 31 December 2016 the largest exposure to credit risk
related to cash and cash equivalents, which was US$1,057,098. The
exposure risk is reduced because the counterparties are banks with
high credit ratings ("BBB" Liquidity banks) assigned by
international credit rating agencies. The Directors intend to
continue to spread the risk by holding the Company's cash reserves
in more than one financial institution.
(i) Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of the following assets represents the
maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at
31 December is as follows:
At 31 December 2016 At 31 December 2015
USD USD
------------------------------ -------------------- --------------------
Convertible notes receivable 3,650,596 2,202,649

------------------------------ -------------------- --------------------
4,934,611 3,541,078
------------------------------ -------------------- --------------------
Market risk
The Company's financial assets are classified as
available-for-sale and are measured at fair value. The measurement
of the Company's investments in equity shares and convertible notes
is largely dependent on the underlying trading performance of the
investee companies, but the valuation and other items in the
financial statements can also be affected by the interest rate and
fluctuations in the exchange rate.
Interest rate risk
Changes in interest rates impact primarily cash and cash
equivalents by changing either their fair value (fixed rate
deposits) or their future cash flows (variable rate deposits).
Management does not have a formal policy of determining how much of
the Company's exposure should be to fixed or variable rates.
At 31 December 2016 the Company had a cash deposit of US$
500,000, earning a variable rate of interest. The Board of
Directors monitors the interest rates available in the market to
ensure that returns are maximized.
Foreign currency risk management
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks on investments
and salary and director remuneration payments that are denominated
in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company.
The currency giving rise to this risk is primarily GBP, EUR. The
exposure to foreign currency risk as at 31 December 2016 was as
follows:

This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular
interest rates, remain constant.
Liquidity risk management
The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that
it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities
when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without
incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company.
The Company has low liquidity risk due to maintaining adequate
banking facilities, by continuously monitoring actual cash flows
and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and
current liabilities.
As at 31 December 2016, the cash and equivalents of the Company
were US$1,057,098.
The following are the maturities of current liabilities as at 31

20 Related party transactions
Since May 2012, TMT's Moscow-based staff have been located in an
office that belongs to a cooperative ("Orgtekhnika") of which the
Company's senior managers Alexander Morgulchik and German Kaplun
are members. German Kaplun also owns 19.28% of the issued share
capital of TMT. Thus Orgtekhnika is considered a related party.

car, security services, etc.), the total office rent costs to TMT
from 1 February 2015 were US$7,000 per month, and from 1 February
2016 temporarily reduced to zero.

TMT's founders and senior managers German Kaplun, Artyom Inyutin
and Alexander Morgulchik agreed to defer half of their respective
2017 salaries (a total of US$150,000) until 31 December 2019.
