TMT INVESTMENTS PLC
("TMT" or the "Company")
Half year report for the six months to 30 June 2016
TMT Investments PLC, which invests in high-growth,
internet-based companies across a variety of core specialist
sectors, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for
the half-year ended 30 June 2016.
-- Relatively quiet first 6 months of 2016 as portfolio matures, following an exceptional 2015
-- NAV per share of US$1.91 (unchanged from US$1.91 as of 31 December 2015)
-- 1 profitable partial cash exit (Depositphotos)
-- 2 impairments (WhalePath and Adinch)
-- US$650,000 allocated to new and follow-on investments (Vinebox, Send A Job, and Attendify)
-- Many portfolio companies continue to experience rapid growth
Alexander Selegenev, Executive Director, commented: "We are
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 companies during the
first half of 2016 as well as reinvesting in our most successful
portfolio companies to date as they continue to grow. As the
portfolio matures, it is not surprising to register some
impairments, of which we made two in the first half of this year.
Our well-diversified portfolio of 34 current investments registered
a NAV of $1.91 per share as of 30 June 2016, in line with the value
as of 31 December 2015".
Alexander Selegenev added: "TMT has successfully exited from 8
investments (including two partial exits) since inception in 2010
to date. This demonstrates the management team's ability to
identify highly promising companies with exceptional leadership at
an early stage. We are continuing to closely review potential exit
and secondary market transactions in our portfolio".

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
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, the first
half of 2016 was relatively quiet as the portfolio continued to
mature. A key highlight was the partial disposal of our successful
investment in stock photo marketplace Depositphotos, which
significantly improved the Company's cash position. We continue to
pursue a conservative approach to valuations of poorly performing
assets and wrote down two of our investee companies at the 2016
first half period end for a combined total of $2.02 million. This
was more than offset by the $2.55 million fair value uplift on the
partial disposal of our investment in Depositphotos.
The following developments took place within the Company's
portfolio in the first half of 2016:
Cash and partial cash exits, and positive non-cash
revaluations:
-- As announced on 29 March 2016, the Company sold a sizable
part of its holding in Depositphotos for a cash consideration of
US$5.85 million (US$5.83 million net) 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.
The Company's remaining fully diluted equity stake in Depositphotos
is approximately 16.7% which, with a carrying value of US$10.84
million, remains our largest investment at 23% of the total value
of our investment portfolio.
Impairments and write-offs:
-- 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.
-- Online advertising platform Adinch, in which TMT invested in
2013, has suffered from the challenging economic conditions in
Russia in the last two years, as well as certain recent operating
issues. Accordingly, the Board of TMT considers 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 reported as of 31
December 2015.
New investments
In the first half of 2016, the Company invested US$300,000 in
wine-by-the-glass subscription club Vinebox, Inc.
(www.getvinebox.com), US$150,000 in field service management
software provider Send A Job Inc. (www.sendajob.com), as well as an
additional US$200,000 in KitApps Inc., the provider of Attendify,
the mobile app platform for the events industry
(www.attendify.com).
NAV per share
The Company's net asset value per share as of 30 June 2016 was
US$1.91 (unchanged from US$1.91 as of 31 December 2015).
Operating Expenses
In the first half of 2016, the Company's Administrative Expenses
of US$476,814 were in line with the first half of 2015 level
(US$484,113). A bonus scheme charge of US$837,361, related to the
first year of the Company's bonus plan covering the period from 1
July 2015 to 30 June 2016, was incurred during the period.
Financial position
As of 30 June 2016, the Company had US$5.92 million in cash
reserves (US$1.16 million at 31 December 2015). As of the date of
this report, the Company has no debt and approximately US$5.02
million in cash reserves.
Events after the reporting period and outlook
In July 2016, the Company invested US$300,000 in cloud-based PC
emulator Sixa, Inc. (www.sixa.io). In August 2016, the Company
invested an additional US$200,000 in native video advertising
platform Virool, Inc. (www.virool.com) and US$300,000 in Theirapp,
Inc., developer of APPrise-branded mobile apps for the public
relations, investor relations, and corporate communications
industries (www.apprise-mobile.com).
With many of our portfolio companies experiencing rapid growth,
we expect a number of positive revaluations of our investee
companies in the future, as we achieve exits or investee companies
complete future equity financing rounds, and will update
shareholders as appropriate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE
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.
The financial information relating to the six months ended 30
June 2016 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts.
The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December
2015 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that financial
year. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015 were
approved by the Board of Directors on 18 March 2016. 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 23 August 2016 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 are the same as those applied by the
Company in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2015.
The Company's financial risk management objectives and policies
are consistent with that disclosed in the financial statements for
the year ended 31 December 2015.
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 year-end
exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive
income.

9 Profit / (loss) per share
The calculation of basic profit per share is based upon the net
profit for the six months ended 30 June 2016 attributable to the
ordinary shareholders of US$2,510,275 (for the six months ended 30
June 2015: net loss of US$465,023) and the weighted average number
of ordinary shares outstanding calculated as follows:
Profit / (loss) per share For the six months ended 30/06/2016 For the six months
ended 30/06/2015
--------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ -------------------
Basic profit/(loss) per share (cents per share) 9.05 (1.68)
Profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of the
entity 2,510,275 (465,023)
--------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ -------------------
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 For the six months ended 30/06/2016 For the six months ended 30/06/2015
the year outstanding)
---------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------
Weighted average number of shares in
issue
Ordinary shares 27,744,962 27,744,962

---------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------
Weighted average of shares for the year
(fully diluted) 27,729,683 28,106,183
---------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------
The diluted profit / (loss) per share for both 2016 and 2015 is
kept the same as the basic profit / (loss) per share because the
conversion of the share options decreases the basic profit / (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, 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.
The following options, without performance conditions, have been
granted under the Plan on 24 October 2012:
