Chairman's statement

The Group's revenue decreased by 13.2% to GBP113.4 million (H1 2021: revenue of GBP130.7 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 GBP0.34 million in the first six months of 2022 (H1 2021: profit after tax of GBP1.01 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 GBP4.72 million (30 June 2021: cash and cash equivalents of GBP4.52 million) while the secured loans and borrowings from financial institutions increased to GBP2.89 million (30 June 2021: GBP2.06 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 "FCA Application"). 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.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
 1.   Basis of preparation 
 
        The Group's interim financial statements for the six months 
        ended 30 June 2022 were authorised for issue by the Board of 
        Directors on 30 September 2022. 
 
        The interim financial statements are unaudited and have been 
        prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting 
        Standards (IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations) issued by the International 
        Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as adopted by the European 
        Union, and with those parts of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 
        applicable to companies preparing their financial statements 
        under IFRS. It has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim 
        Financial Reporting" and does not include all of the information 
        required for full annual financial statements. The financial 
        statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 
 
        Full details of the accounting policies adopted, which are consistent 
        with those disclosed in the Company's 2021 Annual Report, will 
        be included in the audited financial statements for the year 
        ending 31 December 2022. 
 2.   Basis of consolidation 
 
        The consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement 
        of financial position include financial statements of the Company 
        and its subsidiaries made up to 30 June 2022. 
 3.   Nature of financial information 
 
       The unaudited interim financial information for the six months 
       ended 30 June 2022 does not constitute statutory accounts under 
       the meaning of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. The comparative 
       figures for the year ended 31 December 2021 are extracted from 
       the audited statutory financial statements. Full audited financial 
       statements of the Group in respect of that financial year prepared 
       in accordance with IFRS, which we received an unqualified audit 
       opinion, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. 
 4.       Functional and presentation currency 
 
           (i) Functional and presentation currency 
 
           Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's 
           entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic 
           environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). 
           The functional currency of the Group is Ringgit Malaysia (RM). 
           The consolidated financial statements are presented in Pound 
           Sterling (GBP), which is the Company's presentational currency 
           as this is the currency used in the country in which the entity 
           is listed. 
 
           Assets and liabilities are translated into Pound Sterling (GBP) 
           at foreign exchange rates ruling at the Statement of Financial 
           Position date. Results and cash flows are translated into Pound 
           Sterling (GBP) using average rates of exchange for the period. 
 
           (ii) Transactions and balances 
 
           Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional 
           currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
           transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from 
           the settlement of such transactions and from the translation 
           at year/period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities 
           denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement 
           of comprehensive income. 
 
           The financial information set out below has been translated 
           at the following rates: 
                                         Exchange rate (RM: GBP)

         *The disclosure for non-cash expenses has not been split according 
         to the different segments as the cost to obtain such information 
         is excessive and provides very little by way of information. 
  6.   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 GBP 338,842 (30 
       June 2021: profit of GBP1,013,868 and year ended 31 December 
       2021: profit of GBP1,524,429) 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).

 9.    Contingent liabilities 
       In the period under review, corporate guarantees of RM27.0 million 
        (GBP5.04 million) (H1 2021: RM21.1 million (GBP3.68 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. 
 
 11.       Dividends 
 
             The Company has not proposed or declared an interim dividend.
