Duncan McIntyre, chairman, said: "We have made strong progress both with our UK business and our international expansion strategy this year and are well positioned to become one of the leading mobile banking and payment platforms worldwide.

After three-and-a-half years of intensive development, Monitise has reached hed a key stage in its evolution. Today we are the leading player in the UK mobile banking and payments market, we have a strong foothold in strategically important overseas territories and substantial interest from potential partners and customers. In addition, the demerger and placing has brought the necessary focus to the business as well as the working capital required to further develop our operations and intellectual property.

The Group is still in its investment phase and as such, we are focused in the near term on rolling out our platform and developing related services to further exploit the value of our technology and intellectual property. We already have future income streams integrated into the product roadmap and are experiencing encouraging early signs of revenue generation."

Alastair Lukies, CEO, added: "Monitise has had an extremely successful year, and we believe Monitise will become one of the leading mobile banking and payments providers in the world. The successful demerger from Morse plc and the fundraising allows us to continue to develop our business as an independent company and pursue our strategy for growth.

We have a well established position in the UK and, through the agreements with the major banks and operators we have signed, our MONILINK service will be accessible to 35% of all current account card holders of UK banks by Autumn 2007. We are confident that we will reach agreement to provide our services to other UK banking groups over the coming months.

With a joint venture established in the US with Metavante Inc and a presence in Germany through T-Systems, as well as new agreements covering certain of the Gulf States and Australia.

The mobile banking and payments market is rapidly gaining momentum, not dissimilar to the growth of internet banking in its early stages and our technology has the mass-market characteristics required for mobile banking to become a ubiquitous and valuable banking channel.

Monitise has strong momentum, an excellent competitive position and compelling prospects and we believe the current year will show substantial progress."
