The increase in revenues reflects a greater number new operator customers planning the launch of MMS and content services. In addition, the Company benefited from capacity upgrades purchased by existing operator customers to handle rising MMS traffic requiring Adamind's media adaptation technology.

License sales to new customers contributed 65% of total revenues while capacity upgrades and maintenance fees from existing customers accounted for the remainder. In March 2005, Adamind's media adaptation platform was deployed at Verizon Wireless, one of the two largest North American North American

Financial results

Revenues increased by 100% to $6.2m compared with $3.1m in the corresponding pro-forma period in 2004. The increase reflects a greater number of new licence fees and capacity upgrades purchased by network operators worldwide.

Revenues were broadly similar in the second half at $3.0m compared with the first half due to a number of new agreements expected to be concluded before the end of the year being formally concluded in early January 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share data

NOTE 1:- GENERAL

a.  Background:

    On 17 September 2004, Emblaze Ltd. ("Emblaze"(, a company
    organized under the laws of the State of Israel and traded on the
    London Stock Exchange, entered into an agreement ("the Agreement")
    with DommelRiver Israel Ltd., Philips Digital Networks B.V.
    ("PDN") and Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. ("Philips") (all
    of the aforementioned Philips companies - "Philips Parties") to
    transfer their respective media adaptation business to a new
    Israeli-based company, Adamind Ltd. ("Adamind Ltd." or "the
    Company"). Emblaze agreed to contribute the Emblaze media
    adaptation business ("Emblaze Media Adaptation Business") and
    operations in consideration for the issuance of Ordinary shares of
    Adamind Ltd., and the Philips Parties agreed to contribute the
    MP4Net media adaptation business ("Philips MP4Net media adaptation
    business") to Adamind Ltd. in consideration for the issuance of
    Ordinary shares of Adamind Ltd. and other consideration paid by
    Emblaze, all as set forth in the Agreement. In addition, Emblaze
    agreed to make an equity investment of $ 2,000 in Adamind Ltd. in
    consideration for the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred
    shares of Adamind Ltd., as set forth in the Agreement (see c. and
    d. below).

    In 2004, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the
    U.S. ("Adamind Inc."), which is primarily engaged in marketing,
    sales provision of professional services and certain general and
    administrative functions associated with the Company's activities.

    In February 2005, the Company completed an Initial Public Offering
    ("IPO") on the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market
    ("AIM") under the symbol "ADA". The Company issued 11,363,636
    Ordinary shares to institutional and other investors at a price of
    1.32 GBP per share, raising approximately $ 28,000 before issuance
    expenses of approximately $ 2,900.

b.  The Company is a pure play provider of rich media content
    adaptation and content enhancement software solutions for the
    mobile messaging, content and convergence markets. The Company's
    flagship platform, Adamind Spire(TM), provides automated solutions
    for content adaptation and enhancement and aims to benefit
    virtually every player in the mobile delivery chain. Its
    multimedia capabilities enable service operators and content
    providers to deploy media rich content applications and services
    across a wide range of disparate types of consumer devices.

c.  Pursuant to the Agreement, on 7 November 2004, Emblaze transferred
    to the Company assets, including intellectual property, and
    liabilities related to the media adaptation business with a net
    carrying value in the accounts of Emblaze of $ 610 in
    consideration for the issuance of 12,000,000 Ordinary shares. In
    addition, Emblaze transferred to the Company $ 2,000 in cash as an
    equity investment in consideration of 4,800,000 Series A
    Convertible Preferred shares. The identification of the assets and
    liabilities transferred ("the transferred net assets") was agreed
    upon between Emblaze and Philips Parties pursuant to the Agreement
    and related documents entered into by and between the Company,
    Emblaze and Philips Parties.

d.  Business combination:

    Pursuant to the Agreement, on 7 November 2004, the Philips Parties
    agreed to contribute the Philips MP4Net media adaptation business
    to the Company in consideration for the issuance of Ordinary
    shares of the Company and other consideration paid by Emblaze.

    The transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method
    of accounting, under which the Company is considered as the
    acquirer of the Philips MP4Net media adaptation business from
    Philips. Accordingly, the results of operations of Philips MP4Net
    media adaptation business were included in the consolidated
    statements of operations of the Company, commencing 7 November
    2004.

    The estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and
    liabilities assumed as of 7 November 2004 are as follows:

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiary have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The significant accounting
policies applied in the financial statements, on a consistent basis,
are as follows:

a.  Functional and presentation currency:

    Substantially all of the Company's sales are made outside Israel
    in non Israeli currencies, mainly the U.S. dollar. A substantial
    portion of the Company's expenses, mainly selling and marketing
    expenses is incurred in or linked to U.S. dollars. The funds of
    the Company are held in U.S. dollars. Therefore, the Company's
    management has determined that the U.S. dollar is the currency of
    the primary economic environment of the Company, and thus its
    functional and presentation currency.

b.  Principles of consolidation:

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
    Company and its subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions
    have been eliminated upon consolidation.

c.  Cash equivalents:

    The Company considers all highly liquid investments originally
    purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash
    equivalents.

d.  Investments in financial assets:

    Certain investments in financial assets in the scope of IAS 39,
    "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" are
    classified as either at held-to-maturity investments or
    available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. These
    financial assets are recognized initially at fair value. The
    Company determines the classification of its financial assets
    after initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate,
    re-evaluates this designation at balance sheet date.

    Held-to-maturity investments

    Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the
    Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity
    and are stated at amortized cost. The amortized cost of
    held-to-maturity securities is adjusted for amortization of
    premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization
    and interest are included in financial income. Losses due to
    impairment are recognized in the statement of operations when
    there is subjective evidence that an impairment has been incurred.
    As of 31 December 2005, no impairment has been identified.

    Available-for-sale financial assets

    After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are
    measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognized as a
    separate component of shareholders' equity until the investment is
    derecognized or until the investment is determined to be impaired
    at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in
    shareholders' equity is included in the consolidated statement of
    operations. As of 31 December 2005, no impairment has been
    identified.

    The fair value of investments that are actively traded in
    organized financial markets is determined by reference to quoted
    market prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date.

e.  Trade receivables:

    Trade receivables are recognized and carried at original invoice
    amount, less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An
    allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective
    evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the full
    amount. Bad debts are written-off when identified by management.
    As of 31 December 2005 and 2004, no allowance for doubtful debts
    was recorded.

f.  Equipment:

    Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
    Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the
    estimated useful lives of the assets at the following annual
    rates:

                                                     %
                                            --------------------

Computers and peripheral equipment                25 - 33
Office furniture and equipment                     7 - 15

    The carrying value of the equipment is reviewed for impairment
    whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
    carrying value may not be recoverable. As of 31 December 2005 and
    2004, no impairment losses have been identified.

g.  Intangible assets:

    The cost of intangible assets acquired on acquisition is fair
    value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial
    recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any
    accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
    The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either
    finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are
    amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for
    impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible
    asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the
    amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful
    life is reviewed at least at each financial year-end. The
    amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is
    recognized in the statement of operations.

    The Company's intangible assets consist of acquired technology and
    customer agreements. The acquired technology is amortized using
    the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five
    years during which benefits are expected to be received. The
    customer agreements are amortized using the straight-line method
    over an estimated useful life of a period between twelve and
    eighteen months during which benefits are expected to be received.
    As of 31 December 2005 and 2004, no impairment losses have been
    identified.

h.  Goodwill:

    Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured
    at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination
    over the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the
    identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.
    Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less
    any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortized and
    is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events
    or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may
    be impaired.

    Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of
    the cash-generating unit, to which the goodwill relates. When the
    recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the
    carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Where goodwill
    forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation
    within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the
    operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the
    operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the
    operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured
    on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of
    and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. As of 31
    December 2005 and 2004, no impairment losses have been identified.

i.  Revenue recognition:

    The Company and its subsidiary generate revenues mainly from
    licensing the rights to use the Company's software products, and
    from royalty arrangements upon licensing of the Company's software
    to end-users. The Company also generates revenues from
    maintenance, support, training and professional services. The
    Company does not grant a right of return to its customers.

    Revenues from software licensing arrangements are recognized to
    the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will
    flow to the Company and the revenues can be reliably measured.
    Revenues from professional services are recognized when the
    services are rendered.

    Revenues from royalty arrangements are recognized in the period
    when such royalties are reported to the Company, provided that all
    other revenue recognition criteria are met. Royalties are
    recognized as revenues by the Company, consistently in the quarter
    following the quarter in which such royalties are earned. There is
    a consistent lag of one quarter between the period in which the
    royalties are earned based on sales to end users and the period in
    which such royalties are recognized as revenue by the Company.

    Maintenance and support revenues are recognized on a straight-line
    basis over the term of the maintenance and support agreement.
    Deferred revenue includes unearned amounts received under
    maintenance and support contracts.

j.  Research and development:

    Research costs are expensed to operations as incurred.

k.  Government grants:

    Royalty-bearing grants from the Government of Israel for funding
    approved research and development projects are recognized at the
    time the Company is entitled to such grants, on the basis of the
    costs incurred. These grants are presented as a reduction of
    research and development expenses when there is reasonable
    assurance that the grants will not be repaid based on estimated
    future sales of the funded product. The management reevaluates the
    estimated future sales of the funded projects on each reporting
    period.

l.  Income taxes:

    The Company and its subsidiary account for income taxes under the
    liability method of accounting. Under the liability method,
    deferred taxes are provided based on the differences between the
    financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and
    are measured at enacted tax rates that are expected to be
    applicable in the year in which the differences reverse. Deferred
    tax assets in respect of carryforward losses and other temporary
    deductible differences are recognized to the extent that it is
    probable that they will be utilized.

m.  Exchange rates and linkage basis:

    Assets and liabilities in or linked to the Israeli currency, New
    Israeli Shekels ("NIS"), or the Euro are included in the financial
    statements based on the representative exchange rate as published
    by the Bank of Israel on balance sheet date.

    Data regarding exchange rates of NIS and Euro in relation to U.S.
    dollar are as follows:

                             Exchange rate of       Exchange rate of
As of                        one U.S. dollar        one U.S. dollar
------------------------ ------------------------ --------------------

31 December 2005               Euro 0.845              NIS 4.603
31 December 2004               Euro 0.733              NIS 4.308

n.  Basic and diluted net loss per share:

    Basic net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average
    number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted
    net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average
    number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each period, plus
    dilutive potential Ordinary shares considered outstanding during
    the period.

o.  Fair value of financial instruments:

    The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other
    receivables, and trade and other payables approximate their fair
    value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.

    The fair values for marketable securities are based on quoted
    market prices.

p.  Concentrations of credit risk:

    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
    concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
    equivalent, marketable securities and trade receivables.

    The majority of the Company's cash and cash equivalents are
    invested in major banks in the United States and Israel, in U.S.
    dollars. Management believes that the financial institutions that
    hold the Company's investments are financially sound and
    accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these
    investments.

    The Company's marketable securities include investments in auction
    rate securities, government debentures and corporate debentures.
    Management believes that those corporations and governments are
    financially sound and that the portfolios are well-diversified,
    and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these
    marketable securities.

    Trade receivables are derived from sales to customers primarily
    located in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. The Company and
    its subsidiary perform ongoing credit evaluations of their major
    customers and to date have not experienced any material losses.

    As of 31 December 2005, the Company has no significant off-balance
    sheet concentration of credit risk, such as foreign exchange
    contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

q.  Share-based payment transactions:

    On 1 January 2005, the Company adopted IFRS 2, "Share-based
    Payment". IFRS 2 requires an expense to be recognized where the
    Company buys goods or services in exchange for shares or rights
    over shares ("equity-settled transactions"), or in exchange for
    other assets equivalent in value to a given number of shares of
    rights over shares ("cash-settled transactions"). The main impact
    of IFRS 2 on the Company is the expensing of employees' and
    directors' share options (equity-settled transactions).


    The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured by reference
    to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. The fair
    value is determined by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
    model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the
    instruments were granted.

    The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together
    with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which
    the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on
    the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to
    the award ("the vesting date"). The cumulative expense recognized
    for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the
    vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has
    expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity
    instruments that will ultimately vest. No expense is recognized
    for awards that do not ultimately vest.

    The effect of the adoption of IFRS 2 on the year ended 31 December
    2005 was an increase in employee benefits expense and an increase
    in net loss in the amount of $ 207, with a corresponding increase
    in equity.

    The effect of the initial adoption of IFRS 2 (retrospective
    application) on the periods prior to 1 January 2005 is immaterial.
