Chairman's statement

 

The Group's revenue decreased by 13.2% to £113.4 million (H1 2021: revenue of £130.7 million) i n the first six months of 2022. This was as a result of lower sales from the Group's products and services, namely the mobile phone prepaid airtime reload and bill payment business through the Group's banking channels (i.e. mobile banking and internet banking) with 10 banks and third parties' e-wallet applications. The Malaysian market accounted for almost the Group's entire revenue for the first six months of 2022. As a consequence of the reduction of revenue, coupled with higher administrative expenses, the Group registered a lower profit after tax of £0.34 million in the first six months of 2022 (H1 2021: profit after tax of £1.01 million).

 

The Group's other businesses (i.e., the international remittance services and e-money in Malaysia and e-payment solutions activities in the Philippines and Brunei) continued to remain small in the first six months of 2022.

 

As at 30 June 2022, the Group had cash and cash equivalents (including fixed deposits) of £4.72 million (30 June 2021: cash and cash equivalents of £4.52 million) while the secured loans and borrowings from financial institutions increased to £2.89 million (30 June 2021: £2.06 million). 

 

Current trading and outlook

 

The Group's business activities are predominately concentrated in Malaysia.  Other than the Group's core mobile phone prepaid airtime reload and bill payment business, the Group's international remittance and e-money businesses are expected to remain insignificant in 2022. This is also expected to be the case for the e-payment solutions activities in the Philippines and Brunei.

 

On 1 June 2022 the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary in Malaysia, MobilityOne Sdn Bhd, had received a license from MasterCard Asia/Pacific Pte Ltd ("MasterCard") and approval from the Central Bank of Malaysia to issue MasterCard prepaid cards. In line with announced expectations, the Group has commenced the issuance of MasterCard prepaid cards in Malaysia on a small scale to complement the Group's existing e-wallet and is part of the Group's end-to-end payment ecosystem.

 

However, the Central Bank of Malaysia has not yet given its decision, the timings of which continue to remain uncertain, for the Group to expand its money transfer business via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication ("SWIFT") network. Nevertheless, the Group is currently working closely with a bank in Malaysia on the integration process while waiting for the Central Bank of Malaysia's approval.

 

On 11 October 2021, the Group entered into a joint venture cum shareholders agreement with One M Tech Pty Ltd to explore e-commerce and e-payment business opportunities in Australia.  As there have been no developments or progress made by the joint venture partner, the Group has today given a notice to the joint venture partner to terminate the agreement. While this joint venture cum shareholders agreement was previously envisaged to not contribute any material revenue or earnings to the Group, should a viable new opportunity arise, the Group will reassess exploring potential business expansion in Australia again in the future.

 

In order for the Group to expand its business in the UK, M-One Tech Limited, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in the UK, continues to progress its work in respect of re-submit an application to the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), the financial regulatory body in the UK, for authorisation as an electronic money institution to provide e-money services in the UK (together the "FCAApplication"). While it was originally the Group's intention to re-submit the FCA Application by September 2022, as most recently announced by the Group on 29 June 2022, the Group now intends to re-submit the revised FCA Application reflecting the FCA's feedback in the fourth quarter of 2022.

 

Notwithstanding that the e-payments industry is expected to continue to grow in Malaysia in the long-term and that the Group will continue to invest and enhance its research and development as the backbone to support the business expansion and technology advancement , t he Group is cautious on the outlook for the remainder of 2022. This cautious view takes into consideration the current business and operational landscape which comprises rising inflation and interest rates as well as higher administrative expenses. Rising administrative expenses include higher staff costs, higher infrastructure and marketing costs as well as other related expenses . As a result, in order to maintain or grow the Group's business, it is the Board's view that the Group's gross profit margin for its products and services are likely to also be impacted.  For future growth, the Group will also consider partnerships with parties in complementary businesses to explore new business opportunities.

Taxation

 


Taxation on the income statement for the financial period comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the financial period and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the Statement of Financial Position date.

 

Deferred tax is recognised on the liability method for all temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the Statement of Financial Position and its tax base at the Statement of Financial Position date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Statement of Financial Position date. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each Statement of Financial Position date and is reduced to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available.

 

Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged or credited directly in equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or negative goodwill.


7.

Earnings per share

 


The basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit in the six month period ended 30 June 2022 of £ 338,842 (30 June 2021: profit of £1,013,868 and year ended 31 December 2021: profit of £1,524,429) attributable to owners of the parent by the number of ordinary shares outstanding at 30 June 2022 of 106,298,780 (30 June 2021: 106,298,780 and 31 December 2021: 106,298,780).

 

The diluted earnings per share for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 is calculated using the number of shares adjusted to assume the exercise of all dilutive potential ordinary shares of 112,567,904 (ie, on 5 December 2014, the Company granted share options of 10,600,000 shares at 2.5p to directors and certain employees of the Group. Share options of 2,000,000 shares had lapsed due to resignation of employees and no option has been exercised).

Contingent liabilities

 


In the period under review, corporate guarantees of RM27.0 million (£5.04 million) (H1 2021: RM21.1 million (£3.68 million) were given to a licensed bank by the Company for credit facilities granted to a subsidiary company.

 

 

10.

Significant accounting policies

 


 

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared applying the same accounting policies that were applied in the preparation of the Company's published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 except for the adoption of new and amended reporting standards, which are effective for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2022. Various amendments to standards and interpretations of standards are effective for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2022 as detailed in the 2021 Annual Report, none of which have any impact on reported results.

 


 

 

 


Amortisation of intangible assets

 

Software is amortised over its estimated useful life. Management estimated the useful life of this asset to be within 10 years. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic useful life therefore future amortisation could be revised.

 

The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value-in-use of the cash generating units ("CGU") to which goodwill is allocated. Estimating a value-in-use amount requires management to make an estimation of the expected future cash flows from the CGU and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

 

The research and development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the life span of the developed assets. Management estimated the useful life of these assets to be within 5 years. Changes in the technological developments could impact the economic useful life and the residual values of these assets, therefore future amortisation charges could be revised.

 

 


Impairment of goodwill on consolidation

 

The Group's cash flow projections include estimates of sales. However, if the projected sales do not materialise there is a risk that the value of goodwill would be impaired.

 

The Directors have carried out a detailed impairment review in respect of goodwill. The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired, by considering cash flows forecasts. The cash flow projections are based on the assumption that the Group can realise projected sales. A prudent approach has been applied with no residual value being factored. At the period end, based on these assumptions there was no indication of impairment of the value of goodwill or of development costs.

 

 


Research and development costs

 

All research costs are recognised in the income statement as incurred.

 

Expenditure incurred on projects to develop new products is capitalised and deferred only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the project and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. Product development expenditures which do not meet these criteria are expensed when incurred.

 

Development costs, considered to have finite useful lives, are stated at cost less any impairment losses and are amortised through other operating expenses in the income statement using the straight-line basis over the commercial lives of the underlying products not exceeding 5 years. Impairment is assessed whenever there is an indication of impairment and the amortisation period and method are also reviewed at least at each Statement of Financial Position date.
