ORIENT TELECOMS PLC
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 September 2021
Director's Statement
I have pleasure in presenting the interim financial statements
of Orient Telecoms Plc and its subsidiary (the "Group") for the six
months ended 30 September 2021.
During the financial period, the Group reported a net profit of
GBP44,804 (0.045 pence profit per share).
The Group operates as a fully managed overlay network service
provider in the South East Asia Region, which makes it very light
weight and thus not requiring heavy investment towards building the
network infrastructure. In the past six (6) months, especially in
Malaysia, the Group has seen an increasing approach towards rolling
out 5G network as quickly as possible. With this new development
the Board believes there will be fairly large opportunities to
expand its own product called "OfficeMate" throughout Malaysia.
There has been an increasing demand for bigger bandwidth and
managed connectivity solutions in the region, hence the Group is
very much focused on increasing its sales and reach in various
countries through its strong partnership with the infrastructure
owners.
The Group has been continuously working to enhance its own
Product and Managed Services offerings. The Technology team is
focused on creating a customised operating system which will help
us manage the services for customers in a much more efficient and
productive way. This project is expected to be completed by the
fourth (4) quarter of 2022.
Despite the challenges brought on by the Covid pandemic, the
Group have shown positive results due to its aggressive sales and
marketing activities. And with mass immunisation programs initiated
by the Governments which have contributed to the declining number
of covid cases worldwide, we expect the coming years to be less
challenging and more fruitful.
The Group have engaged new partners and network owners to
negotiate better rates, which the Board believes will have a
positive effect on the Group's pricing and gross margin levels. The
market remains competitive and requires continuous effort to engage
customers effectively and to introduce new services or features
into its offerings
The Group's entire operational team remains dedicated and
committed towards this goal which we plan to achieve through hard
work and unwavering commitment in the face of the forthcoming
challenges.
Withthe emergence of new variants of the covid, the effect of
which we are unable to quantify at the present moment, but we
believe that, with our perseverance and unrelenting commitment we
will be able to overcome those challenges
During the AGM 2021, one of the non-executive directors was not
re-elected. The Board considers that the current composition of the
board, which comprise a CEO, a non-executive Chairman and a
not-executive director, is adequate given the size of the
Company.
Responsibility Statement
The Directors are responsible for preparing the interim
financial statements in accordance with the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct
Authority ('DTR') and with International Accounting Standard 34 on
Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by United Kingdom (IAS
34).
The Directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, the
interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
IAS 34. The interim financial statements include a fair review of
the information required by DTR 4.2.7 and DTR 4.2.8, namely:
-- an indication of important events that have occurred during
the first six months and their impact on the interim financial
statements, and a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial period;
and
-- material related-party transactions in the first six months
and any material changes in the related-party transactions
described in the last annual report.

2016, as a public company limited by shares under the Act. The
principal legislation under which the Company operates is the Act.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The condensed financial information for the period ended 30
September 2021 and 30 September 2020 have been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed
financial information is unaudited and does not constitute
statutory financial statements. The comparative interim financial
information covers the period from 1 April 2020 to 30 September
2020.
The principal accounting policies used in preparing the interim
financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company's
financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021,
which have been prepared in accordance with the International
Accounting Standards in conformity with the requirements of the
Companies Act 2006 and International Financial Reporting Standards
as adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies
in the European Union ("IFRS"). The auditors' report on those

The condensed financial information is presented in British
Pound Sterling ("GBP").
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 30
September 2021 was approved by the Directors on 22 December
2021.
Going concern
These interim financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis.
The COVID-19 pandemic lock downs in Malaysia which was
implemented in March 2020 have since been removed as the country
have reached herd immunity and with the easing of restriction
businesses are moving towards normalisation. Hence, opening up more
opportunities for businesses.
The company is already in an active discussion with some of the
potential clients to secure new business in the forthcoming
year.
The Company has enough cash balances to run its operations for
the next 24 months.. The Company also relies heavily on outsourcing
companies to perform its international service maintenance which
helps the company to manage its cashflows better and also keep the
lowest possible headcount on the payroll.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of unaudited interim financial statements
requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses for the
current and its corresponding financial period under review. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing the unaudited interim financial statements, the
significant judgements made by the management in applying the
Company's accounting policies and the sources of estimates
uncertainty were consistent as those applied to the 2021 Audited
Financial Statements.
There were no changes in estimates of amounts of the Company
that may have a material effect on financial period ended 30
September 2021.

Unaudited Audited
Revenue 404,614 807,133
-------------- -----------
404,614 807,133
-------------- -----------
Revenue is recognised either when the performance obligation in
the contract have been performed (so "point in time" recognition)
or "overtime" as control of the performance obligation is
transferred to the customer. Revenue represents rendered managed
telecommunication services to the customers, the end users, which
is recognised over the period of time when the services is
performed.
Invoicing and payment terms are generally monthly in advance
except for a single customer who has been granted extended
timeframe for settlement. A contract liability represents the
obligation of the Group to render services to a customer for which
consideration has been received (or the amount is due) from the
customer
In addition, under contract with customer, the customer is also
entitled to claim rebates if the service performed / downtime is
more that the allowed hours in any given month. The Group has
implemented an open source fully customised Network Performance
Monitoring system, which can provide an in-depth view of
performance by customer. Due to the high level of service provided
under each contract with a customer, the Group has no history of
having to provide rebates. On that basis, the variable
consideration was considered as remote.
Revenue is derived substantially from Malaysia, Singapore and
Thailand. Revenue excludes value added tax and other sales
taxes.
5. PROFIT PER SHARE
Basic profit per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the
profit attributable to equity holders of the company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the
period. 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. There are
currently no dilutive potential ordinary shares.
