3 HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008 DIRECTORS REPORT Directors' Report Your directors present their report on the consolidated entity consisting of MIKOH Corporation Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December Directors The following persons were directors of MIKOH Corporation Limited during the whole of the half-year and up to the date of this report: Douglas James Halley (Chairman) John Stanley Keniry James Matthew Blomfield (Managing Director) Richard Owen Holcomb 2. Review of Operations and Results Against the trend of the global economic downturn, overall revenue was up 211.3% on the revenue for the corresponding period last financial year. Sales and consulting revenue for the company s Smart&Secure technology increased by 364% from the corresponding period last year, from $22,976 to $106,613. This is a clear indicator that MIKOH s go-to-market strategy is working and its primary target markets, Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI) and Asset Tracking, are correct. Included in this figure was the first royalty from Sirit, who under license deployed over 180,000 Smart&Secure tags in the Americas during the 4th quarter of This was the first stage of implementation that will continue throughout 2009 within a territory that has a market potential well into the tens of millions of tags. The fact that MIKOH and its partners are responding to requests for AVI technology in countries outside the Americas (including Australia) is a strong indicator that the global market is, after many delays, moving towards AVI adoption with a requirement that tags include the destruct-onremoval feature - i.e. Smart&Secure. Revenue from digital inkjet printers increased by 1946% from the previous corresponding half year, from $30,826 to $630,571, with sales of printers to customers in Sydney and Turkey, as well as increased ink sales and servicing revenue. We expect this trend to continue throughout 2009 as MIKOH develops a unique printing product for a customer who plans to drive global adoption of this new product in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods market. Sales for SubScribe were down 12% on the corresponding period last year, from $170,271 to $149,553. A significant increase in business is expected in calendar 2009 as MIKOH establishes additional label production facilities in Melbourne to meet the demands from its new customer base. However, this increase in business activity is anticipated to commence from May, so full year revenue is expected to be slightly lower than revenue for 2007/08. The loss before income tax for the half year ended 31 December 2008 was $1,961,527 compared to a loss before income tax for the previous corresponding period of $2,638,772. Accounting standards required that approximately $100k be expensed for the entire acquisition of Global Integrity Pty Ltd, despite the benefits this acquisition has delivered, and will continue to deliver, to MIKOH. Notwithstanding this expense, indirect costs reduced by over 20%. When combined with the increased revenue, the loss for the half-year reduced by 26% compared to July-December Manufacturing expenses increased due to increased sales, and R&D costs increased as the SecureContainer was further developed and brought to market. However administration costs and sales and marketing costs reduced significantly, partly through greater cost control and partly due to a significant decrease in share options expense, with no share options being issued in the December 2008 half year. MIKOH continues to benefit from the Federal Government's Research and Development Tax Offset scheme, with a tax credit of $44,000 recorded for the half year 2

4 HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008 DIRECTORS REPORT The results for the half year are summarised as follows:- Total revenue for the period was $930,634, representing a 211.3% increase over the corresponding period last year of $298,970; Net loss for the period after income tax was $1,917,527, representing a 25.9% decrease over the loss for the corresponding period last year of $2,586,272; Net cash outflow from operating activities for the half year was $1,666,352, representing an 18.2% decrease over the corresponding period last year of $2,038,222; and Net assets at the end of the half-year amounted to $1,113,888 compared to net assets of $2,528,916 as at 30 June 2008, with a working capital surplus of $728,216 compared to a working capital surplus of $2,185,414 at 30 June As at the date of this report the directors have issued a mandate to raise up to $1 million in additional capital. 3.

Directors Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditor s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of an Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of Mikoh Corporation Limited s financial position as at 31 December 2008 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations As the auditor of Mikoh Corporation Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report. A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. 5

7 Auditor s Independence Declaration In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act Conclusion Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Mikoh Corporation Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity s financial position as at 31 December 2008 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations Material Uncertainty Regarding Continuation as a Going Concern Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1(c) in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $1,917,527 and net cash outflows of $1,815,233 during the half year ended 31 December These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(c), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity s ability to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

12 1. Significant Accounting Policies a) Statement of Compliance MIKOH CORPORATION LIMITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the half year ended 31 December 2008 The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporation Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual report. b) Basis of Preparation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars. The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company s 2008 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June c) Going Concern The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. For the reasons described below, there is significant uncertainty whether the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern: The consolidated entity has incurred a loss of $1,917,527 and net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,666,352 for the current period. The company currently only has sufficient working capital to meet its requirements until at least 1 April In the event that the expected contracts underpinning the cash flow forecast do not eventuate by April 2009, the company will be required to raise additional equity finance to satisfy its working capital requirements. The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to: Obtain additional equity finance. At the date of this report the company has received in writing a commitment for a private placement of 3.75 million shares at 4 cents per share, raising a total of $150,000; Secure profitable sales contracts; Achieve future profitable trading operations; Generate sufficient cash flows from operations to enable its obligations to be met. The company has traditionally been able to raise equity funding by way of private placements to meet its ongoing working capital requirements. During the half year ended 31 December 2008 the company raised $550,000 by way of private placements. In the prior year ended 30 June 2008 the company raised $3,151,527 by way of private placements and $959,000 from existing shareholders via a share purchase plan. The directors have no reason to believe that the consolidated entity will be unable to raise the necessary amounts during the year ending 30 June 2009 to fund its working capital requirements. 11

13 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the half year ended 31 December Significant Accounting Policies c) Going Concern (continued) At the date of this report and having considered the above factors, the directors are confident that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding this there is significant uncertainty whether the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern. 2.
