Interim Management Report

Vox Valor Capital Limited ("Vox Valor" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its interim financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2023 have been published and are available on its website at www.voxvalor.com/investors.

We are very pleased to report a strong increase in revenues and the group achieving a modest operating profit. For the current financial year, we are looking forward to growing Vox Valor both organically and through potential acquisitions.

Summary of Trading Results

The main management focus in the reporting period was on improving the financial performance.

For the financial period ended 30 June 2023, Vox Valor reported revenue of USD 1.8 million (versus USD 3.4m in the previous comparable period). The main reason for the revenue decrease is that 2022 numbers included revenue from Mobile Marketing LLC, the Russian subsidiary which was sold on 2 August 2022.

Revenue was principally generated in Mobio Global UK with sales of USD 1.767k compared to USD 606k in the first half of 2022. Russian revenue reduced to zero in 2023 having been the most significant revenue in 2022 at USD 2.6m.

Operating expenses decreased at a faster pace to USD 1.789 million for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2023 from USD 3.9 million in the previous period representing the efforts of management to become operationally profitable.

Gross margin for the first half of 2023 was USD 639k (36%) compared to 56k (2%) in the first half of 2022).

Vox Valor achieved an operational profit of USD 13k (versus USD 542k loss in the previous period).

Total comprehensive income for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2023 was a profit of USD 179k (versus a loss of USD 2.6m in the previous comparable period).

Corporate Update

On 2 November 2022, the Company announced the opening of Mobio's US offices and the Company has focused on growing its client base in the United Kingdom, the United States and Europe to offset the revenue loss that resulted from the sale of Mobile Marketing LLC on 2 August 2022.

Mobio is making steady progress in gaining new clients for Mobio Global Limited (UK). Mobio Singapore Pte Ltd (Singapore) and Mobio Inc (US) and these efforts are continuing through the remainder of the current financial year.

As announced with the publication of the 2022 financial statements, the Company had signed two non-binding and conditional term sheets for the acquisition of two mobile game and app businesses. The term sheets were subject to further due diligence, board approvals, final legal documentation and in one case subject to financing. The Company is no longer in discussions with either party.

The Company is continuing its search for suitable complimentary mobile game or app (content) businesses as well as complimentary advertising tech and marketing tech businesses, in order to execute on its strategy of creating a synergetic mobile content and ad tech / marketing powerhouse. Further announcements on potential merger and acquisition transactions will be made as and when term sheets or legal binding agreements have been entered into.

Outlook

Looking forward to the current global situation, the rising interest rates and inflation rates tends to have an adverse impact on the price of services provided.

The Board remains cautiously optimistic and continues to evaluate opportunities for generating value for shareholders.

Going Concern

The day to day working capital requirements and investment objectives is met by existing cash resources and the issue of equity. At 30 June 2023 the Group had cash balance of USD 80k (911K USD as of 31 December 2022). The Group's forecasts and projections, taking into account reasonably possible changes in the level of overhead costs, show that the company should be able to operate within its available cash resources. The directors have, at the time of approving the interim financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. They therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Interim Financial Information

The half-yearly financial report has not been audited or reviewed by auditors pursuant to the Financial Reporting Council guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information.

Post-Period Events

No significant events occurred after reporting date.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

Taking considered risk is the essence of all business and investment activity, in relation to risk the Company's main objective is to minimise the chance of a material adverse outcome arising from causes which could reasonably have been foreseen, this includes both 'upside' (opportunity) and 'downside' (threat) risks.

The principal risks that are specific to the Group are summarised below. In the opinion of the Directors, these risks remain unchanged from those detailed in the Company's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2022 which was approved by the Board of Directors on 28 April 2023.

The presentational currency of the Group is US dollars (USD).

The notes are an integral part of the financial statements.

Reporting period

These financial statements represent the financial reporting period of the Group for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2023.

General

An asset is disclosed in the statement of financial position when it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. A liability is disclosed in the statement of financial position when it is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits and the amount of the obligations can be measured with sufficient reliability.

If a transaction results in transfer of future economic benefits and/or when all risks associated with assets or liabilities have been transferred to a third party, the asset or liability is no longer included in the statement of financial position. Assets and liabilities are not included in the statement of financial position if economic benefits are not probable or cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

The income and expenses are accounted for during the period to which they relate. Revenue is recognized when control over service is transferred to a customer.

The Management is required to form an opinion and make estimates and assumptions for assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. The actual result may differ from these estimates. The estimates and the underlying assumptions are constantly assessed. Revisions are recognised during a corresponding revision period as well as any future periods affected by the revision. The nature of these estimates and judgements, including related assumptions, is disclosed in the notes to corresponding items in the financial statement.

Subsidiary undertakings include entities over which the Group has effective control. The Company controls a group when it is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the Group and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the Group.

Principles for foreign currency translation

The financial statements of the Group are presented in US dollars, which is the Group's presentation currency.

Receivables, liabilities, and obligations denominated in any currency other than USD are translated at the exchange rates prevailing as of the reporting date.

Transactions in any currency other than USD during the financial year are recognized in the financial statements at the average annual exchange rate. The exchange differences resulting from the translation as of the reporting date, taking into account possible hedging transactions, are recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The nominal value of the share capital and other share components of the subsidiaries are denominated in Singapore dollars (SGD) and in the pounds of sterling (GBP) and translated into USD using historical exchange rate; the exchange differences resulting from this translation are recorded in the Exchange differences on translating foreign operations in the statement of financial position.

Cross-rates USD/RUB are taken from the Central bank of the Russian Federation official site Official exchange rates on selected date | Bank of Russia (cbr.ru). Cross-rates GBP/USD, USD/SGD and average rate GBP/USD are taken from https://www.exchangerates.org.uk/ and closing rate GBP/USD is taken from the site Currency Exchange Rates - International Money Transfer | Xe.com.

GBP/USD		30.06.2023		31.12.2022
Closing rate		1.2681		1.2101
Average rate		1.2337		1.2369

Revenue

The Group's revenue comprises primary income from the provision of mobile marketing services in 2023 and 2022. Revenue is recognized when the related services are delivered based on the specific terms of the contract. The Group uses a number of different information technology ("IT") systems to track certain actions as specified in customer contracts. The calculation of charges for mobile marketing services is carried out automatically by the technology platform based on pre-defined key parameters, including unit price and volume. These IT systems are complex and process large volumes of data.

Records of mobile marketing services charges are generated in an aggregated amount for each category and are manually entered into the accounting system on a monthly basis.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured based on specific contract terms and excludes amounts collected on behalf of any third parties. Revenue is recognized when control over service is transferred to a customer.

The following is a description of principal activities from which the Group generates its revenue.

Cost of sales (operating expenses)

Cost of sales represents the direct expenses that are attributable to the services delivered. They consist primarily of payments to platforms and publishers under the terms of the revenue agreements. The cost of sales can include commissions where applicable.

Financial instruments

The Group classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability, or an equity instrument in accordance with the terms of the contractual arrangement. Financial instruments are recognised on trade date when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument. Financial instruments are derecognised on the trade date when the Group is no longer a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any expected credit losses in the case of trade receivables. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial commitments

Financial commitments that are not held for trading purpose are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Other purchased intangibles assessment

The Group annually reviews the recoverability of all long-term assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. The Group determines whether there has been an impairment by comparing the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to the related asset's carrying value. If an asset is considered impaired, the asset is written down to fair value which is either determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset.

Intangible fixed assets

Concessions, Intellectual Property and Licenses are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation.

Amortisation is recognized in the income statements on a straight-line over the estimated useful life as follows:

·       Trademarks - 10 years.

·       Licenses - validity period.

·       Programs - 5 years.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at their historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized in the income statement in a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each item of tangible fixed assets. The minimum cost to recognize an objects as a fixed asset is 3,000 USD. The annual depreciation rates applied are:

·      Technical and office equipment, computers - 3 years.

Leases

All leases are accounted for by recognising a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for:

·       Leases of low value assets; and

·       Leases with a duration of twelve months or less.

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by reference to the rate inherent in the lease unless (as is typically the case) this is not readily determinable, in which case the Group's incremental borrowing rate placed at the official site of the Bank of England.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Group would recognise the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Receivables

Upon initial recognition the receivables are included at fair value and then valued at amortised cost. The fair value and amortised cost equal the face value. Any provision for doubtful accounts deemed necessary is deducted. These provisions are determined by individual assessment of the receivables. All receivables are due within one year.

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose only on the cash flow statement.

The cash flow statement from operating activities is reported using the indirect method.

Provisions

These are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation, using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Deferred taxes

A deferred tax liability / asset is recognized for any differences in commercial and fiscal valuation of the Group's assets and liabilities.

Taxation

Current tax is the tax currently payable based on the taxable profit for the year.

The Group recognises current tax assets and liabilities of entities in different jurisdictions separately as there is no legal right of offset. Deferred tax is provided in full on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases, except when, at the initial recognition of the asset or liability, there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss under a business combination. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date, and that are expected to apply when the temporary difference reverses.

Tax losses available to be carried forward, and other tax credits to the Group, are recognised as deferred tax assets, to the extent that it is probable that there will be future taxable profits against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of the tax expense in the statement of comprehensive income, except where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity.

Financial income and expenses

Financing income includes forex exchange and financial expenses include bank fee.

10.       Earnings per share

Basic (losses)/earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. As at 31 December 2022 the Group has outstanding Warrants issued to the NED Directors (Non-executive directors) and Stonedale Management and Investments Limited Ltd (Stonedale), which when exercised will convert into Ordinary Shares. Total number of Warrants in issue is 45,833,333.

		30 June 2023		31 December 2022
Loss for the period after tax for the purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share		(165,347)		(3,145,770)
Number of ordinary shares		2,368,395,171		2,368,395,171
Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue for the purposes of basic earnings per share		2,368,395,171		2,195,443,485
Loss per share (cent)		(0,01)		(0,14)

During a period where the Group or Company makes a loss, accounting standards require that 'dilutive' shares for the Group be excluded in the earnings per share calculation, because they will reduce the reported loss per share; consequently, all per-share measures in the current period are based on the weighted number of ordinary shares in issue.

22.       Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks through its use of financial instruments which result from its operating activities. All the Group's financial instruments are classified trade and other receivables. The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below:

Credit risk

Generally, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of the financial assets recognised at the reporting date, as summarised below:

	30 June 2023		31 December 2022
Trade receivables	1,163,663		2,917,649
Prepayments	186,437		12,446
Total	1,350,100		2,930,095

Credit risk is the risk of financial risk to the Group if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation. The nature of the Group's debtor balances, the time taken for payment by clients and the associated credit risk are dependent on the type of engagement.

The Group's trade and other receivables are actively monitored. The ageing profit of trade receivables is monitored regularly by Directors. Any debtors over 30 days are reviewed by Directors every month and explanations sought for any balances that have not been recovered.

Unbilled revenue is recognised by the Group only when all conditions for revenue recognition have been met in line with the Group's accounting policy.

The Directors are of the opinion that there is no material credit risk at the Group level.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the situation where the Group may encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Group seeks to manage financial risks to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet any foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably.

The tables below break down the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groups based on their contractual maturities.

The amounts disclosed in the tables below are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances, because the impact of discounting is not significant.

Contractual maturities of financial liabilities as of 30 June 2023

	Less than 6 months		6-12 months		Between 1 and 2 years		Between 2 and 5 years		Carrying amount
Trade and other payables	400,542		-		-		-		400,542
Corporation tax payable	38,253		-		-		-		38,253
Lease liabilities	9,719		8,577		44,428		-		62,724
Total	448,514		8,577		44,428		-		501,519

Contractual maturities of financial liabilities as of 31 December 2022

	Less than 6 months		6-12 months		Between 1 and 2 years		Between 2 and 5 years		Carrying amount
Trade and other payables	2,905,091		-		-		-		2,905,091
Corporation tax payable	17,823		-		-		-		17,823
Lease liabilities	9,426		7,955		20,298		33,424		71,103
Total	2,932,340		7,955		20,298		33,424		2,994,017

Interest rate risk

The Group is not exposed to material interest rate risk as its liabilities are either non-interest bearing or subject to fixed interest rates.

Foreign currency risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily the Russian Ruble. The Group monitors exchange rate movements closely and ensures adequate funds are maintained in appropriate currencies to meet known liabilities.

The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the respective reporting period, expressed in Currency Units, was as follows:

Cash & cash equivalents		GBP		EUR
30 June 2023		2,623		8,617
31 December 2022		157,104		11,291

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on the relationship between the functional currencies of the Group companies and the other currencies in which the Group's material assets and liabilities are denominated. The table below summaries the effect on profit and loss had the functional currency of the Group weakened or strengthened against these other currencies, with all other variables held constant.

	30 June 2023				31 December 2022
	GBP		EUR		GBP		EUR
10% weakening of functional currency	(262)		(862)		(15,710)		(1,129)
10% strengthening of functional currency	262		862		15,710		1,129

The impact of a change of 10% has been selected as this has been considered reasonable given the current level of exchange rates and the volatility observed both on a historical basis and market expectations for future movements.

Reputational risks

The Management of the Group believes that at present there are no facts that could have a significant negative impact on the decrease in the number of its customers due to a negative perception of the quality of services provided, adherence to the terms of rendering services, as well as the participation of the Group in any price agreement. Accordingly, reputational risks are assessed by the Group as insignificant.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of all financial assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value.

Other risks

The industry risk is currently assessed as low, and the volume of advertising on the Internet is growing. However, it should be taken into consideration that the industry is affected by changing legislation on the regulation of the advertising services provision and compliance with information security of data. Also, the Group business depends on the availability, performance and reliability of internet, mobile and other infrastructures (speed, data capacity and security) that are not under the Group control.

The Group makes every effort to comply with the requirements of the legislation and to maintenance of a reliability for providing advertising internet services.
