CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
The Board of MediLink is pleased to present the Group's
unaudited results for the six month period ended 30 June 2015,
which show an encouraging trend in improved operating performance
compared with the comparative period for the six months ended 30
June 2014.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Group recorded revenues of GBP708,000 (H1 2014: GBP688,000)
and a reduced loss after tax of GBP112,000 (H1 2014: GBP126,000)
for the six months ended 30 June 2015 for continuing operations
Growth in revenues increased marginally by 2.3% over the same
period last year, with revenue from Malaysia growing by 4.56% and
TPA income increasing by 6.4%. The Malaysian operating entities
continued to make the largest contribution of 59% (H1 2014: 57%) of
the Group's revenues for the period under review, whilst Singapore
contributed 41% (H1 2014: 43%).
The operating loss for the period was lower compared to the same
period last year as a result of revenue growth in Malaysia and the
cost saving measures taken across all the subsidiaries of Medilink
resulting in a 7% reduction in administrative costs. In addition
the losses from Medilink China were marginally lower than the
corresponding period in 2014
PERIOD IN FOCUS
The first half of 2015 witnessed another increase in revenue in
Malaysia from GBP394,000 in the first half of last year to
GBP412,000 for the six months to 30 June 2015, representing a 4.7%
growth over the same period last year. The number of enrolled
members in Malaysia as at the end of August 2015 was approximately
1,000,000 (1 September 2014 - 900,000) while the number of
corporate clients contracted stands at 225 compared to 210 at the
same stage last year. The number of healthcare providers operating
in our network in Malaysia now stands at 1,500 (1480 at this stage
last year). Maintaining overheads at the same levels as the
corresponding period last year combined with the growth in
membership levels has helped to increase the operating profit in
Malaysia significantly, by approximately 90%, for the first half of
2015 compared with the first half of 2014. Management are not
anticipating a significant increase in operating costs in the
second half of 2015.
Further to the completion and deployment of the Claims
Management System licensing to Great Eastern Life Assurance Co.,
Ltd on September 11, 2015, the Malaysia entity is currently
finalizing an 18 months contract with an established Malaysian
insurance company.
The operations in Singapore recorded a marginal decrease in
revenues by 0.7% to GBP292,000 (2014: GBP294,000) compared with the
same period last year.
On 1 August 2014, the Group entered into a Sales and Purchase
Agreement with Selfdoctor (Beijing) Technology Co. Limited to
divest 51% of its interest in Medilink (Beijing) TPA Services Co
Limited. The divestment was fully completed on 10 July 2015 when
the transfer of ownership took place. With a strategic local
partner in place and with enhanced financial support it is believed
this will add value to the China business and help expand Medilink
China's business activities.
PROSPECTS
The revenues are expected to be stronger particularly with the
impact of continued growth in TPA membership as well as system
licensing in our Malaysia operations, the Directors are confident
that the Group's financial performance should continue to improve
in the second half of 2015 and during the financial years
thereafter.

Notes to the Interim Financial Information
Six month period ended 30 June 2015
1. Basis of preparation
The financial information has been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by
the European Union. The principal accounting policies used in
preparing the interim results are consistent with those the group
expects to apply in its financial statements for the year ending 31
December 2015 and are consistent with those disclosed in the
group's Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31
December 2014.
The interim results have not been reviewed nor audited by the
Company's auditors. The comparatives for the year ended 31 December
2014 are not the Company's full statutory financial statements for
that period. A copy of the statutory financial statements for that
period, which were prepared under IFRS, have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on those accounts was
unqualified, but included an emphasis of matter in respect of going
concern:
"In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is
not modified, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure
made in note 2 (v) to the financial statements concerning the
company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which
depends on the continued shareholder support and the generation of
increased revenues. These conditions, along with the other matters
explained in note 2 (v) to the financial statements, indicate the
existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant
doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would
result if the company was unable to continue as a going
concern."
Whilst the financial information included in this Interim
Financial information has been prepared in accordance with the
recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS, it does not include
sufficient information to comply with IFRS.
The interim results announcement was approved by the board on 30
September 2015.
2. Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss
attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. In
accordance with IAS 33 and where the Group has reported a loss for
the period, the shares are not dilutive.

6. Turnover and segmental analysis
Per IFRS 8 operating segments are based on internal reports
about components of the group, which are regularly reviewed and
used by the Board of Directors being the Chief Operating Decision
Maker ("CODM") for strategic decision making and resource
allocation, in order to allocate resources to the segment and to
assess its performance. The Group's reportable operating segments
are as follows:
(I) Third party administrator
(II) Software licensing
(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires
October 01, 2015 02:00 ET (06:00 GMT)
The CODM monitors the operating results of each segment for the
purpose of performance assessments and making decisions on resource
allocation. The management has organised the entity based on
differences in products and services. Third party administrator
segment is derived from aggregating China, Malaysia and Singapore
entity while Software licensing segment represent a single entity
from Malaysia. Performance is based on external and internal
revenue generations and profit before tax, which the CODM believes
are the most relevant in evaluating the results relative to other
entities in the industry. Segment assets and liabilities are
presented inclusive of inter segment balances, as inter-segment
pricing. Information regarding each of the operations of each
reportable segment is included below.
