Interim Financial Report ended 30 September 2025

 

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 (continued)

 

1.   GENERAL INFORMATION

 

The Company was incorporated in England and Wales on 26 February 2016, as a public company limited by shares under the Act. The principal legislation under which the Company operates is the Act. The registered office of the Company is at Eastcastle House, 27/28 Eastcastle Street, London W1W 8DH United Kingdom.

 

Shares of the Company are traded on London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities since 2017.

 

 

2.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of preparation

 

The consolidated financial information for the period ended 30 September 2025 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 interim financial information covers the six-month period from 1 April 2025 to 30 September 2025, with comparative figures for the corresponding period from 1 April 2024 to 30 September 2024.

 

 

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 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the UK ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), including related interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified and unmodified.

 

The condensed financial information is presented in British Pound Sterling ("£").

 

All amounts in these interim financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound (£), unless otherwise stated. Minor differences in totals may arise from rounding adjustments.

 

 

Going concern

 

These interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

At 30 September 2025, the Group had cash of £106,331 and current liabilities of £167,071, together with trade and other receivables of £235,467. The reduction in cash from £565,149 at 31 March 2025 reflects the settlement of payables and timing of collections.

The Directors have prepared financial forecasts and, based on expected receivable collections and ongoing business development, believe the Group has sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least the next 12 months from the date of approval of these interim financial statements.

The Group continues to rely on an outsourcing model to manage service maintenance, which reduces fixed overheads and supports liquidity flexibility. In addition, management is in active discussions with potential clients to secure new service contracts in the coming periods.

Accordingly, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence and, for this reason, these interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

 

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 2025 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 2025.

 

 

4.   REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

 

Revenue represents the fair value of consideration for communication services provided to customers, recognised in accordance with IFRS 15. Revenue is recognised over time as services are delivered, or at a point in time for one-off services.

5.   INCOME TAX EXPENSE

 

No income tax expense or tax credit has been recognised for the six-month period ended 30 September 2025 (30 September 2024: £nil), as the Group recorded a loss for the period.

 

 

 

 

 

6.   PROFIT PER SHARE

 

Basic profit per ordinary 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. 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.

10A.   PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL DEBTS AND WRITE-OFF

 

During the financial year ended 31 March 2025, the Group recognised a provision for doubtful debts amounting to £133,548 relating to specific receivables assessed as potentially uncollectible. Upon further review and confirmation during the interim period ended 30 September 2025, sufficient evidence indicated that the amount is no longer recoverable. Accordingly, the previously recognised provision has been utilised, and the corresponding receivable has been written off.

This adjustment has no impact on the profit or loss for the current interim period, as the provision was fully recognised in the prior financial year. The write-off, however, will be appropriately reflected in the Group's tax return for the relevant assessment period.

13. SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

 

As of 30 September 2025, the Group operated as a single operating segment, specializing in the provision of managed telecommunication services. While the Group's headquarters and corporate activities are based in the United Kingdom, the majority of its revenue originated from Malaysia totalling £58,243, accounting for 66% of total revenue. The remaining revenue was primarily generated from other countries within the South East Asia region.

 

 

14. RISK ARISING FROM FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AND FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

 

Categories of financial assets and liabilities

 

The following table categorises the carrying value of the financial assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. In each case the fair value is not materially different to the carrying value.

 

			As at
			30-Sep-25 Carrying value
			£
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalent			106,331			Not materially different
Trade and other receivables			108,169			Not materially different
Total financial assets			214,499
		As at
		30-Sep-25 Carrying value
		£
Financial liabilities
Amount due to directors		3,750			Not materially different
Trade and other payable		142,522			Not materially different
Total financial liabilities		146,272

The contractual maturities of financial assets are all within 12 months of the balance sheet date

 

 

Risk arising from financial assets and liabilities

 

The following paragraphs summarize the principal risks associated with the company's financial assets and liabilities and how those risks are managed.

 

Liquidity and capital risk management

The Group's capital structure consists of shareholders' equity. The objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. This is done primarily through equity financing. There were no changes to the Group's approach to capital management during the period.

 

As at 30 September 2025, the Group held cash of £106,331 against current liabilities of £167,071, mainly contract liabilities and accruals. Liquidity is monitored on a rolling 12-month basis. Management expects receivable collections and new contracts to cover obligations.

 

 

Counterparty risk

Cash balances are primarily held with Maybank Berhad, a leading Malaysian financial institution. Management considers the credit risk of its bank counterparties to be low.

 

 

Maturity analysis of financial liabilities

 

	Less than 1 year £	1-2 years £	2-5 years £	Total £
Trade and other payables	142,522	-	-	142,522
Amount due to directors	3,750	-	-	3,750
Lease liabilities	20,053	5,234	-	25,287
Total	166,325	5,234	-	171,559

Interest rate risk

 

The Company does not currently have financial instruments that expose the Company to significant interest rate risk as the Company does not have any debt that bears variable interest rate.

 

 

Currency risk

 

The Group operates in two currencies: Pound Sterling ("GBP"), which is the functional currency of the parent company, and Ringgit Malaysia ("MYR"), which is the functional currency of the subsidiary. Currency risk arises primarily from the translation of the subsidiary's MYR-denominated financial statements into GBP for consolidation and reporting purposes.

 

As at 30 September 2025, the Group's exposure to MYR-denominated net financial assets amounted to £114,740 (2024: £115,584). A 5% fluctuation in the MYR/GBP exchange rate would have resulted in an estimated impact of approximately £5,737 (2024: £5,779) on the Group's profit and net assets, assuming all other variables remain constant. The Group monitors its foreign currency exposures on a regular basis and adopts appropriate risk management strategies when necessary to mitigate potential exchange rate volatility

 

The following Group's financial instruments are denominated in MYR:

		As at			As at
		30-Sep-25			30-Sep-24
		£			£
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalent		106,331			144,502
Trade and other receivable		45,630			46,231
Total financial assets		151,961			190,733
Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables		37,221			75,149
Total financial liabilities		37,221			75,149
Net financial assets		114,740			115,584

 

Price risk

 

The Company does not hold any equity securities and therefore is not exposed to price risk.

Credit risk

 

Concentration exists with a small number of counterparties. At 30 September 2025, the largest single receivable was £135,000 from Imperial Telecom Sole Co Ltd (~57% of total receivables). Management applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach, recognising lifetime expected credit losses. An allowance of £9,762 was booked.

 

Receivable Ageing Profile (gross):

Ageing category	30-Sep-25	30-Sep-24
Current (<30 days)	£26,500	£105,400
31-60 days	£5,400	£14,200
61-90 days	£2,300	£19,500
>90 days	£7,017	£21,791
Total trade receivables	£41,217	£160,891

 

Receivables overdue by more than 90 days are considered recoverable and are subject to continuous monitoring.
