For further information please contact: Tecteon PLCMasoud Ahmadi, Managing Director Tel: 020 8446 5005 Bankside Consultants Tel: 020 7367 8888Michael Padley/Susan Scott Editors' Note About Tecteon PLC Established in mid 2001, with its head office in London, UK, Tecteon PLCdevelops and markets voice enhancement software technologies and algorithmsrunning on a range of DSP platforms. Tecteon technologies provide voice quality,comfort listening and hearing protection in wired and wireless voicecommunication systems, ranging from peripheral devices to telecom infrastructureequipment, examples include: Headsets (call centre, personal, police, pilots,military, fire-fighters), telephony (business, SMEs, residential), switches(PSTN, soft-switches, gateways), digital mobile radios, mobilephones, hands-free kits and AV conferencing units. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REVIEW Voice quality market Tecteon has made further progress in the last six months by providing voicequality (VQ) technology to a specific, targeted segment of the mobile market. The Bluetooth product from Qstik is expected to be launched this spring of2006. The product has incorporated within it Tecteon's bi-directional adaptivenoise reduction, audio shock protection and speech enhancement algorithms,driven by the latest DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology. During the period we have successfully commercialised our technology and as aresult there has been a significant increase in turnover. Tecteon is seeking toexpand its sales and marketing to fully exploit the identified marketopportunities under Tecteon's existing business model and beyond. In addition, Tecteon reduced its holding in Dominion Energy PLC from 87.5% to18.6% to provide working capital of £970,000 before expenses. On 31st March 2006the remaining 23 million shares were also sold to provide further workingcapital of £690,000 before expenses. The main development phase has now been completed and the focus going forwardwill be on commercialising our patented technology. Accordingly, we will applyto reclassify Tecteon as a telecom equipment provider. Oil & Gas Dominion Energy continues to benefit from the high oil price but is peripheralto the core business. We will therefore continue to divest the business and asannounced, we have been reducing our shareholding in Dominion Energy PLC toprovide working capital and to focus on the development of the technology. Results for the year For the six months ended 31 December 2005, the Directors report turnover of£417,396 compared with £84,689 for the same period in 2004 (turnover for theyear ended 30 June 2005 was £227,218). The unaudited loss amounted to £595,348compared to a loss of £387,277 for the same period in 2004. In the period underreview, Tecteon received £287,166 from the sale of voice quality technology,compared to £5,000 in the prior-year period. Amortisation costs in respect ofthe cost of developing the technology, included within administrative expensesamounted to £284,789 (2004: £241,902). Outlook We have again made further progress and during the period have successfullycommercialised our technology. Qstik, will significantly enhance the marketingof our technology and the first product launched by Qstik has been shortlistedfor a major international award. As promised we have also divested our shareholding in Dominion Energy and thiswill allow us to fully focus on the unique technology that we have developed.
