Chairman's statement
The Group's revenue decreased by 9.1% to £110.5 million (H1 2023: revenue of £121.5 million) in the first six months of 2024 as a result of lower 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. The Malaysian market continues to account for the majority of the Group's revenue.
The Group registered a loss after tax of £1.68 million in the first six months of 2024 (H1 2023: profit after tax of £5,117) mainly due to lower sales, an increase in cost of sales, higher administrative expenses, higher finance costs and the Group's share of the loss generated by its 49%-owned associate company, Sincere Acres Sdn Bhd, which was acquired on 4 October 2023.
The Group's other businesses, such as its international remittance services and e-money business in Malaysia as well as the payment solution business in Brunei, continued to remain small. As previously announced the Group has discontinued to explore new business in the Philippines. However, if there is any new business opportunity in the future, the Group may consider exploring such opportunities.
As at 30 June 2024, the Group had cash and cash equivalents (including fixed deposits classified under other financial assets) of £4.41 million (30 June 2023: cash and cash equivalents of £3.42 million) while the secured loans and borrowings from financial institutions increased to £6.57 million (30 June 2023: £4.14 million) mainly due to payments for higher cost of sales and higher administrative expenses.
Current trading and outlook
Mobile phone prepaid airtime reload and bill payments will continue to be the main business activities for the Group in Malaysia, whereas other businesses are expected to remain insignificant in 2024. The Group has commenced the issuance of MasterCard prepaid cards in Malaysia on a small scale to complement the Group's existing e-wallet.
On 11 May 2023, the Company announced that M1 Tech Limited, the Group's wholly-owned subsidiary in the UK, had withdrawn its application to the Financial Conduct Authority, the financial regulatory body in the UK, for authorisation as an electronic money institution to provide e-money services in the UK. As announced by the Company on 20 August 2024, following an extensive review process, the Group has decided not to submit a revised application to the FCA and instead will continue to focus on its businesses in Malaysia as well as other new business opportunities.
In September 2023, MobilityOne Sdn Bhd ("M1 Malaysia"), the Group's wholly-owned subsidiary in Malaysia, incorporated Qube Nexus Sdn Bhd with M1 Malaysia and Syed Faisal Algadrie Bin Syed Hassan owning 80% and 20% of the equity interest respectively with the joint venture to explore any suitable business opportunities from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. There has not been any material development in relation to this joint venture.
As part of the Group's business plans for long-term growth, the Group has the following initiatives:
(1) Money transfer business via SWIFT network
As previously disclosed, the Group intends to expand its money transfer business via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication ("SWIFT") network. The Group is still working with a bank in Malaysia on the integration process while waiting for the Central Bank of Malaysia's approval, the timings of which continue to remain uncertain. The Company will make any relevant announcements on the arrangement with SWIFT as and when is appropriate.
(2) Disposal of OneShop Retail Sdn Bhd ("1Shop") and proposed joint venture with Super Apps
On 19 October 2022, M1 Malaysia entered into a share sale agreement (the "Share Sale Agreement") with Super Apps for the disposal by M1 Malaysia of a 60% shareholding in the Group's wholly-owned non-core subsidiary 1Shop to Super Apps (together the "Disposal"). Concurrently, M1 Malaysia entered into a joint-venture cum shareholders agreement with Super Apps and 1Shop (together the "Proposed Joint Venture"). The intention of the Disposal and Proposed Joint Venture is to establish a new joint venture to expand the Group's e-products and services business initially in Malaysia.
The Disposal was initially subject to the completion of a merger exercise between TETE and Super Apps which includes certain approvals by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") (together the "Merger Exercise"). Subsequently it was announced on 1 March 2024 that M1 Malaysia had entered into a supplementary agreement with Super Apps to amend the terms and conditions of the Share Sale Agreement in preparation for the Merger Exercise (the "Supplementary Agreement"). Under the new terms and conditions of the Supplementary Agreement, completion of the Disposal is no longer conditional on the Merger Exercise completing. In this regard, it was instead agreed that the Disposal completes upon entry of the Supplementary Agreement. Notwithstanding completion, if the Merger Exercise does not complete, M1 Malaysia is entitled to purchase back the 60% interest in 1Shop from Super Apps for a nominal consideration of RM1.00.
It was further agreed that irrespective of the completion of the Disposal and subject to the completion of the Merger Exercise, Super Apps shall pay M1 Malaysia the following consideration:
(a) RM40.0 million (c. £7.23 million) in cash within 14 days upon completion of the Merger Exercise; and
(b) RM20.0 million (c. £3.61 million) in cash within 180 days upon completion of the Merger Exercise.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Joint Venture, M1 Malaysia undertook to provide the necessary technical and business support to 1Shop and guaranteed that 1Shop will achieve revenues of at least RM560.0 million (equivalent to c. £101.16 million) in the financial year ending 31 December 2023 or any other period as mutually agreed (the "Revenue Target"). As the Merger Exercise has been delayed, the period to achieve the Revenue Target shall be re-assessed and agreed with Super Apps in due course. In order to achieve the Revenue Target, Super Apps undertakes to provide all the necessary working capital requirements of 1Shop. This will be supplemented through Super Apps, in conjunction with 1Shop, collaborating with other organisations. Moreover, Super Apps shall procure TETE to issue shares in TETE (the "TETE Shares") to a stakeholder to be mutually agreed by M1 Malaysia and Super Apps with an aggregate value of RM20.0 million (equivalent to c. £3.61 million) within 14 days upon completion of the Merger Exercise. The issue price for the TETE Shares to the stakeholder will be determined at a later date. M1 Malaysia will only be entitled to receive the TETE Shares from the stakeholder following 1Shop achieving the Revenue Target.
Tete Technologies Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TETE, has since filed draft proxy statements (the "TETE Proxy Filing") with the SEC and the TETE Proxy Filing is subject to the approval by the SEC. The Company will release further announcements as and when appropriate.
It was announced by the Group on 18 June 2024 that the deadline to complete the Merger Exercise was extended from 20 July 2024 to 20 January 2025. There can be no guarantee that the payment for the consideration of the Disposal and the 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 payment for the consideration of the Disposal and the completion of the Proposed Joint Venture are expected to contribute positively to the financial position and future growth prospects of the Group.
(3) Acquisition of Hati via 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. £5.42 million) to be paid to the Vendor in two tranches (the "Acquisition"). On 4 October 2023, the acquisition of Hati, via Sincere, completed and the first tranche, representing RM2.0 million (c. £0.36 million), has since been paid to the Vendor. The second tranche, representing the balance of RM28.0 million (c. £5.06 million) (the "Second Tranche"), was originally required to be paid by M1 Malaysia by 8 March 2024 (the "Second Tranche Payment Date").
On 8 March 2024, the Second Tranche Payment Date was extended until 8 September 2024 and, on 9 September 2024, it was further extended until 31 December 2024. 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.
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 Acquisition has a number of synergistic benefits for both the Group and Hati. The Acquisition not only will enable the Group to diversify its existing business activities into the growing healthcare information systems industry, it 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 Acquisition will result in Hati being able to utilise the Group's infrastructure and engineering know-how to automate electronic billing and invoicing.
In September 2024, M1 Malaysia was appointed as supplier to Selgate Healthcare Sdn Bhd ("Selgate") to supply, deliver, install, test and commission a hospital information system incorporating Hati's healthcare software development and information technology capabilities (together the "Appointment"). As part of the Appointment, Selgate has agreed to pay staged payments to M1 Malaysia over a five-year period totalling RM11,952,600 (equivalent to c. £2.16 million). With this positive development, the Group and Hati hope to secure more projects in hospital information systems in the next 12 months.
(4) Acquisition of Jejak Semangat Sdn. Bhd. ("Jejak")
On 7 March 2024, the Group announced that M1 Malaysia had entered into a share sale agreement with MBP Solutions Sdn. Bhd., LMS Technology Distributions Sdn. Bhd., Dato' Hussian A Rahman and Derrick Chia Kah Wai to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Jejak for a nominal cash consideration of RM4.00 (c. £0.70). The acquisition completed on 2 July 2024.
Jejak holds a license issued by the Malaysian Ministry of Communications and Multimedia to provide network services in Malaysia for a period until 23 April 2031. The license will complement M1 Malaysia's current business of providing mobile prepaid reload services.
The Group anticipates a challenging business environment and remains cautious about the outlook for the remainder of 2024. This caution is due to rising inflation and increased expenses, including higher administrative, infrastructure, and marketing costs, among other related expenses. Consequently, the Group's gross profit margins for its products and services are expected to continue to be affected as it strives to maintain or grow its business.
The expected completion of the Proposed Joint Venture with Super Apps and the Merger Exercise, as disclosed above, will significantly enhance the Group's financial position and future growth. Additionally, the implementation of Hati's potential projects in the foreseeable future is expected to benefit the Group through the share of any profit from this associated company. The Group will continue to invest in and enhance its research and development to support business and technological advancements and to form partnerships for future growth.

(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The functional currency of the Group is Ringgit Malaysia (RM). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling (£), which is the Company's presentational currency as this is the currency used in the country in which the entity is listed.

(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year/period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
The financial information set out below has been translated at the following rates:

|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| | The basic earnings / (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the loss in the six month period ended 30 June 2024 of £1,672,674 (30 June 2023: profit of £1,056 and year ended 31 December 2023: loss of £1,408,482) attributable to owners of the parent by the number of ordinary shares outstanding at 30 June 2024 of 106,298,780 (30 June 2023: 106,298,780 and 31 December 2023: 106,298,780).
The diluted earnings per share for the six month period ended 30 June 2024 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, which are expiring on 4 December 2024. Share options of 2,000,000 shares have lapsed due to resignation of employees and no options have been exercised.

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 2023 except for the adoption of new and amended reporting standards, which are effective for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2024. Various amendments to standards and interpretations of standards are effective for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2024 as detailed in the 2023 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. |
