Chairman's statement
The Group's revenue increased by 7.2% to £121.5 million (H1 2022: revenue of £113.4 million) in the first six months of 2023 as a result of higher sales from the Group's main products and services in Malaysia, namely the mobile phone prepaid airtime reload and bill payment business through the Group's banking channels (i.e. mobile banking and internet banking), electronic data capture ("EDC") terminals and third parties' e-wallet applications. Notwithstanding the higher sales, the Group registered a lower profit after tax of £5,117 in the first six months of 2023 (H1 2022: profit after tax of £0.34 million) mainly due to a reduction in gross profit margin in the period under review to 5.08% (H1 2022: gross profit margin of 5.52%), higher administrative expenses and higher finance costs.
The Group's other businesses such as its international remittance services, EDC terminals sales and services, e-money and lending in Malaysia as well as the e-payment solutions activities in Brunei continued to remain small. The Group did not record any sales in the Philippines in the first six months of 2023.
As at 30 June 2023, the Group had cash and cash equivalents (including fixed deposits) of £3.42 million (30 June 2022: cash and cash equivalents of £4.72 million) while the secured loans and borrowings from financial institutions increased to £4.14 million (30 June 2022: £2.89 million).
Current trading and outlook
The Group's business activities are still predominately concentrated in Malaysia. Other than the Group's main business activities of mobile phone prepaid airtime reload and bill payment in Malaysia, the Group's other businesses are expected to remain insignificant in 2023. As reported by the Central Bank of Malaysia in August 2023, the Malaysian economy grew by 2.9% in the second quarter of 2023 weighed mainly by slower external demand. Domestic demand remained the key driver of growth, supported by private consumption and investment. With the challenging global environment, the Malaysian economy is projected to expand close to the lower end of the 4.0% to 5.0% range in 2023. Growth will continue to be supported by domestic demand amid improving employment and income as well as implementation of multi-year projects.
As part of the Group's business plans for long-term growth, the Group has the following initiatives:
(1) Proposed disposal of OneShop Retail Sdn Bhd ("1Shop") and proposed joint venture with Super Apps Holdings Sdn Bhd ("Super Apps")
On 19 October 2022, MobilityOne Sdn Bhd ("M1 Malaysia"), the Group's wholly-owned subsidiary in Malaysia, entered into a Share Sale Agreement with Super Apps for the proposed disposal by M1 Malaysia of a 60% shareholding in the Group's wholly-owned non-core subsidiary 1Shop to Super Apps (together the "Proposed Disposal"). Concurrently, M1 Malaysia entered into a Joint-Venture cum Shareholders Agreement with Super Apps and 1Shop (together the "Proposed Joint Venture"). The Proposed Disposal and Proposed Joint Venture are inter-conditional in order to establish a new joint venture to expand the Group's e-products and services business initially in Malaysia.
The Proposed Disposal is subject to the completion of a merger exercise between Technology & Telecommunication Acquisition Corporation ("TETE") and Super Apps (together the "Merger Exercise").
Pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Disposal and subject to the completion of the Merger Exercise, the Group is expected to receive cash proceeds of RM40.0 million (c. £7.53 million) and RM20.0 million (c. £3.76 million) within 14 days and 180 days respectively of completion of the Merger Exercise.
A draft proxy statement has been filed by Tete Technologies Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TETE, on 2 August 2023 ("TETE Proxy Filing") with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). An extraordinary general meeting will be convened in due course by TETE once the TETE Proxy Filing is in complete form and approved by the SEC. The Company will release further announcements as and when appropriate.
There can be no guarantee that the Proposed Disposal and Proposed Joint Venture can be completed as they are conditional on the completion of the Merger Exercise, which is out of the Group's control. The completion of the Proposed Disposal and Proposed Joint Venture are expected to positively contribute to the future growth of the Group.
(2) Money transfer business via SWIFT network
To expand the Group's money transfer business via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication ("SWIFT") network, the Group continues to work with a bank in Malaysia on the integration process due to the migration of messaging standards within the SWIFT network while waiting for the Central Bank of Malaysia's approval, the timings of which continue to remain uncertain. The Company will make the relevant announcement on the arrangement with SWIFT as and when is appropriate.
(3) UK electronic money institution application
On 11 May 2023, the Company announced that M1 Tech Limited ("M1 Tech"), the Group's wholly-owned subsidiary in the UK, had withdrawn its 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 (the "FCA Application"). This follows receipt of further feedback from the FCA requesting further information in relation to certain disclosures relating to M1 Tech's proposed business plan. The Group is reviewing its proposed business plan to expand its business in the UK and its options in relation to submitting a further revised FCA application in due course which addresses the FCA's latest feedback. The Company will release further announcements as and when appropriate.
(4) New joint venture to explore business opportunities from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
On 26 June 2023, M1 Malaysia entered into a joint venture cum shareholders agreement with Syed Faisal Algadrie Bin Syed Hassan to incorporate Qube Nexus Sdn Bhd, Malaysia to explore any suitable business opportunities from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Any material developments in relation to new business opportunities will be announced in due course.
(5) Proposed acquisition of Hati International Sdn Bhd ("Hati") via Sincere Acres Sdn Bhd ("Sincere")
On 29 September 2023, M1 Malaysia entered into a share sale agreement with United Flagship Development Sdn Bhd ("Vendor") to acquire a 49% equity interest in Sincere for a total cash consideration of RM30.0 million (c. £5.217 million) to be paid to the Vendor in two tranches (the "Proposed Acquisition"). The first tranche, representing RM2.0 million (c. £0.348 million), has been paid to the Vendor using M1 Malaysia's existing cash resources. The second tranche, representing the balance of RM28.0 million (c. £4.869 million) (the "Second Tranche"), is required to be paid by M1 Malaysia by 8 March 2024 (the "Second Tranche Payment Date"). It is envisaged that the Second Tranche will be paid by the Group using M1 Malaysia's existing cash resources.
While the Second Tranche Payment Date can be extended for up to a further 6 months ("Extended Second Tranche Payment Date"), any payment in relation to the Second Tranche made after the Second Tranche Payment Date will be subject to an interest charge of 10% per annum. The balance amount payable for the Second Tranche (including any interest charge if the payment is made after the Second Tranche Payment Date) shall be reduced by RM1.0 million (c. £0.174 million) when the payment is made by the Extended Second Tranche Payment Date.
While the Proposed Acquisition is not subject to any conditions precedent, both parties have agreed to complete the Proposed Acquisition by 4 October 2023.
Sincere is an investment holding company with its sole business activity comprising of owning a 100% equity interest in Hati, an operating company in Malaysia. Hati is a healthcare information systems provider in Malaysia focused on healthcare software development and information technology. Through the use of cloud service platforms and software system solutions, Hati has developed a product suite comprising of hospital information systems, clinical information systems, business intelligence platforms and Internet of Things (IoT)/Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled platforms.
The Proposed Acquisition will result in a number of synergistic benefits for both the Group and Hati. The Proposed Acquisition is anticipated to enable the Group to vertically integrate its existing electronic payment systems and services with Hati's suite of existing products to support payment methods such as credit cards, debit cards and eWallets via online payments and over the counter payments. In addition, the Proposed Acquisition will result in Hati being able to utilise the Group's infrastructure and engineering know-how to automate electronic billing and invoicing.
Following completion of the Proposed Acquisition, and as part of the Group's long-term growth strategy, the Group intends to develop a payment system that integrates the Group's e-claims and e-payments services with insurance companies thereby resolving cash flow issues typically faced by hospitals and clinics. The Group also intends to explore potential collaborations with the Group's telecommunication partners in order to enable Hati's real-time IoT/AI enabled healthcare devices to operate over 5G cellular networks. The above proposed developments will also contribute to the Group expanding its customers base for its existing electronic payment systems and services.
In addition, the Proposed Acquisition will enable the Group to amongst other benefits, diversify its existing business activities into the growing healthcare information systems industry.
Further details on the Proposed Acquisition can be found in the announcement released by the Group on 29 September 2023.
Notwithstanding that the Malaysia economy is expected to grow in 2023 as well as the demand for the Group's mobile phone prepaid products, the Group is cautious on the outlook for the remainder of 2023, taking into consideration rising interest rates and expenses including, but not limited to, higher administrative expenses, higher infrastructure and marketing costs as well as other related expenses. In addition, in order to maintain or grow the Group's businesses, the Group's gross profit margins for its products and services have been impacted. For future growth, the Group will continue to invest and enhance its research and development as the backbone to support the business and technology advancement as well as to form partnerships or to undertake acquisitions in complementary businesses, as applicable.

Earnings per share
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
The basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit in the six month period ended 30 June 2023 of £1,056 (30 June 2022: profit of £338,842 and year ended 31 December 2022: profit of £23,857) attributable to owners of the parent by the number of ordinary shares outstanding at 30 June 2023 of 106,298,780 (30 June 2022: 106,298,780 and 31 December 2022: 106,298,780).
The diluted earnings per share for the six month period ended 30 June 2023 is calculated using the number of shares adjusted to assume the exercise of all dilutive potential ordinary shares of 112,623,648- 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 have lapsed due to resignation of employees and no options have been exercised.

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. |
