Global m-payment network
M-Payments Process
1. Track promotes its products across various websites and via marketing agencies.
2. Consumers click on the banner, fill in their mobile number and confirm their purchase to receive content and entertainment. Track pays a fee to the marketing agency for every new subscriber acquired.
3. Telecom operators receives payments and earn a percentage of the fee. The gateway also earns a percentage of the fee. Track receives between 15% and 65% (varying by country and by operator).
4. Track generates revenue through weekly subscriptions payments either through Direct Carrier Billing/PSMS
Relationships with 140 mobile operators across
38 countries
Direct Carrier Billing provides great potential from a consumer’s point of view, has low friction, is more convenient and is quicker to use,
compared to paying with credit cards – especially when making small payments; resulting in higher conversion
• Direct Carrier Billing allows consumers to buy digital content by adding the cost of a purchase directly to their mobile bill.
• Track’s infrastructure is optimized for Direct Carrier Billing.
• Direct Carrier Billing is fully integrated into Track’s platform.

Acquisition RisksCompletion
risk
Completion of the acquisition is conditional on CrowdMobile completing Due Diligence, Signing a Share Purchase Agreement and Funding the Acquisition. Crowd Mobile is working on a number of risk mitigation strategies for the identified risks.
Reliance on
information
provided
CrowdMobile is undertaking a due diligence process in respect of Track, which relied in part on the review of financial and other information provided by the vendors of Track. Similarly, CrowdMobile has prepared (and made assumptions in the preparation of) the financial information relating to Track on a stand-alone basis and also to the CrowdMobile Group post-acquisition included in this Presentation in reliance on limited financial information and other information provided by the vendors of Track. CrowdMobile is unable to verify the accuracy or completeness of all of that information. If any of the data or information provided to and relied upon by CrowdMobile in its due diligence process and its preparation of this Presentation proves to be incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate or misleading, there is a risk that the actual financial position and performance of Track and the Combined Group may be materially different to the financial position and performance expected by CrowdMobile and reflected in this Presentation. Investors should also note that there is no assurance that the due diligence to be conducted will be conclusive and that all material issues and risks in respect of the acquisition will been identified. Therefore, there is a risk that unforeseen issues and risks may arise, which may also have a material impact on CrowdMobile.
Analysis of
acquisition
opportunity
CrowdMobile has undertaken financial, business and other analyses of Track in order to determine its attractiveness to CrowdMobile and whether to pursue the acquisition. It is possible that such analyses, and the best estimate assumptions made by CrowdMobile, draws conclusions and forecasts that are inaccurate or which are not realised in due course. To the extent that the actual results achieved by Track are different than those indicated by CrowdMobile’s analysis, there is a risk that the profitability and future earnings of the operations of the Combined Group may be materially different from the profitability and earnings expected as reflected in this Presentation.
Integration
risk
The acquisition involves the integration of the Track business, which has previously operated independently to CrowdMobile. As a result, there is a risk that the integration of Track may be more complex than currently anticipated, encounter unexpected challenges or issues and takes longer than expected, diverts management attention or not deliver the expected benefits and this may affect CrowdMobile’s operating and financial performance.
Historical
liability
If the acquisition of Track completes, CrowdMobile may become directly or indirectly liable for any liabilities that Track has incurred in the past, which were not identified during its due diligence or which are greater than expected, and for which the market standard protection (in the form of insurance, representations and warranties and indemnities) negotiated by CrowdMobile prior to its agreement to acquire Track turns out to be inadequate in the circumstances.
Change of
control risk
As the acquisition of Track will result in a change in control of Track, there could be adverse consequences for CrowdMobile. For example, contracts to which Track is a party may be subject to review or termination in the event of a change of control of Track.
Acquisition
accounting
CrowdMobile will undertake a formal fair value assessment of all of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Track post-acquisition, which may give rise to a materially different fair value allocation.
