Chairman's statement

 

The Group's revenue continued its growth trend in the period under review increasing by 51.9% to £119.9 million (H1 2019: revenue of £78.9 million) i n the first six months of 2020.  The higher revenue was mainly contributed by the strong growth of mobile phone prepaid airtime reload and bill payment business activities in Malaysia through the Group's banking channels (i.e. mobile banking and internet banking) with 10 banks and third parties' e-wallet applications. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged more e-payment transactions which has contributed to the revenue growth. As a result of the substantial increase in revenue in the period under review, t he Group recorded a profit after tax of £1.07 million in the first six months of 2020 (H1 2019: profit after tax of £0.42 million).

 

The Group's other businesses, including the international remittance services in Malaysia and its e-payment solutions activities in the Philippines and Brunei, remained small and did not make significant contributions to the Group in the period under review.

 

As at 30 June 2020, the Group had cash and cash equivalents (including fixed deposits) of £5.92 million (30 June 2019: cash and cash equivalents of £4.99 million) and the secured loans and borrowings from financial institutions amounted to £3.47 million (30 June 2019: £4.08 million).  The Group has shown strong cash generation from operations in the period under review which has strengthened the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2020.

 

Current trading and outlook

 

For future growth, the Group intends to continue to enhance its product offering and payment systems including online payment gateways which cover the acceptance of credit cards and payment wallets. In addition, the Group intends to explore venturing into complementary businesses such as moneylending business in Malaysia by the first quarter of next year following demand from individuals and small businesses such as the Group's existing and new merchants. 

 

Recently, the Company has announced the following developments:

 

(i)  the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, M-One Tech Limited, is in the midst of preparing the necessary application to the Financial Conduct Authority to seek its approval for the Group to commence businesses such as payment aggregation, electronic payments and e-remittance services in the United Kingdom, areas in which the Group already has the operational experience in Malaysia;   

 

(ii)  the Company's 50%-owned remittance company, OneTransfer Remittance Sdn Bhd ("OTR"), has, since 25 September 2020, been acting as one of MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc. ("MoneyGram") correspondence remittance companies in Malaysia enabling the customers of OTR to send and receive money via MoneyGram's global platform which connects to more than 200 countries worldwide; and

 

(iii)  the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, MobilityOne Sdn Bhd, entered into an Alipay service contract with Alipay.com Co., Ltd ("Alipay") in August 2020 to offer Alipay's payment acceptance service to the Group's merchants in Malaysia. The Group intends to, via an e-platform, provide payment processing, authorisation and settlement services to its merchants who provide goods and services directly to Alipay users to enable such merchants to accept payments from Alipay users. The Group intends to deploy the service to the market by the end of this year.

 

The Group remains confident on the outlook for the full year of 2020, taking into consideration the improved financial performance in the first six months of 2020 for the Group's existing businesses as well as the prospects for the new initiatives being pursued.

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 2020 of £1 ,066,435 (30 June 2019: profit of £786,931 and year ended 31 December 2019: profit of £1,508,874) attributable to owners of the parent by the number of ordinary shares outstanding at 30 June 2020 of 106,298,780 (30 June 2019: 106,298,780 and 31 December 2019: 106,298,780).

 

The diluted earnings per share for the six month period ended 30 June 2020 is calculated using the number of shares adjusted to assume the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares of 116,898,780 (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).

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 2019 except for the adoption of new and amended reporting standards, which are effective for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2020. Various amendments to standards and interpretations of standards are effective for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2020 as detailed in the 2019 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.
