Chairman's Statement:

I am pleased to report that as a result of organic growth and acquisition
strategy, Coms has made significant progress in developing a long-term recurring
revenue stream from providing internet telephony services.

Our business has progressed significantly since admission to AIM last year, and
today's interim results begin to demonstrate the momentum we have gained from
the successful execution of our strategies. Coms has three distribution channels
- consumer, business and wholesale - each generating a separate revenue
stream. From a standing start the combined streams have yielded revenue of £501
and gross profits £202k for this interim period.

Consumer Services:
Our consumer service, coms.com, allows individuals to connect their home phone
or a WiFi enabled mobile phone to our innovative internet telephony platform. We
are driving sales directly through the coms.com website and through retail
outlets including the John Lewis Partnership.

Business Services:
Coms sells directly to business customers under the coms.net brand to
differentiate the extra value-added business services from our consumer
offering. The service is based upon the service developed by ExchangeXT Limited,
a business that we acquired in December 2006. Coms is making steady progress
signing up small and medium sized businesses and is looking to expand into the
mainstream business market.

Distribution Services:
The acquisition of VCOMM Limited in March this year contributed four months of
revenue to the interim revenues and will have a greater impact on the revenues
for the full year. More importantly, VCOMM has 450 active resellers that Coms
intend to motivate to resell its expanded package of internet telephony hardware
and services.

I am very confident about the immediate and long-term outlook for Coms. For the
remainder of this financial year, we expect VCOMM to contribute a full 6 months
of revenue to the year-end revenue, and we also expect to see further revenue
growth from both coms.com and coms.net.

I am also encouraged by continued analyst predictions that forecast that both
consumers and businesses will continue to migrate from traditional telephony
(PSTN) services to internet telephony (VoIP) services, which will provide an
enduring and lucrative market for Coms. This, coupled with the fact that we have
achieved a gross margin in excess of 40% during this period, makes me continue
to believe that Coms is well positioned for exceptional growth.

Accordingly, we intend to continue our current strategies of pursuing organic
growth and seeking out other complementary acquisitions.

Jason Drummond
Chairman.
