Interim Management Report

Vox Valor Capital Limited ("Vox Valor" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its interim financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2024 have been published and are available on its website at www.voxvalor.com/investors.

We are very pleased to report a strong increase in revenues and the Group achieving a modest operating profit. For the remainder of the current financial year, we are looking forward to growing Vox Valor both organically and through potential acquisitions.

About the Company

The principal activity of the Vox Valor Group is mobile app marketing. The Group focuses on mobile game or app (content) businesses' performance and has been providing services for the promotion of mobile apps and games for several years.

Summary of Trading Results

The main management focus in the reporting period was on improving the financial performance of the Group.

For the financial period ended 30 June 2024, Vox Valor reported revenues of USD 5.63 million (2023: USD 1.8 million).

Revenue achieved by Mobio Singapore was USD 3.3 million (2023: 31k), with revenue achieved by Mobio Global UK of USD 2.14 million (2023: USD 1.77 million)

 

Operating expenses were USD 5.5 million for the 6 months period ended 30 June 2024 (2023: USD 1.79).

Gross margin for the first half of 2024 was USD 759k (13%) compared to 639k (36%) in 2023.

Vox Valor reports an operating profit of USD 126k (2023: USD 13k).

 

Total comprehensive result for the six months ended 30 June 2024 was a loss of USD 327k (2023: profit of USD 179k). This has been in large part due to increased interest costs.

 

Corporate Update

Mobio is making steady progress in gaining new clients for Mobio Global Limited (UK), Mobio Singapore Pte Ltd (Singapore) and Mobio Inc (US) and these efforts will continue through the remainder of the current financial year.

The Company is continuing its search for suitable complimentary mobile game or app (content) businesses as well as complimentary advertising tech and marketing tech businesses, in order to execute on its stated strategy of creating a synergistic mobile content and ad tech / marketing powerhouse. Further announcements on potential M&A transactions will be made as and when term sheets or legal binding agreements have been entered into.

Outlook

Looking forward to the current global situation, the continuing elevated interest rates and inflation rates tend to have an adverse impact on the price of services provided.

The Board remains cautiously optimistic and continues to evaluate opportunities for generating value for shareholders.

Going Concern

The day to day working capital requirements and investment objectives are met by existing cash resources. At 30 June 2024 the Group had cash balances of USD 70k (144K USD as of 31 December 2023). The Group's forecasts and projections, taking into account reasonably possible changes in the level of overhead costs, show that the company should be able to operate within its available cash resources. The Directors have, at the time of approving the interim financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. They therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Interim Financial Information

The half-yearly financial report has not been audited or reviewed by auditors pursuant to the Financial Reporting Council guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information.

Listing Category

On 29 July 2024, the Listing Rules were replaced by the UK Listing Rules ("UKLR") under which the existing Standard Listing category was replaced by the Equity Shares (transition) category under Chapter 22 of the UKLR. Consequently, with effect from that date the Company is admitted to Equity Shares (transition) category of the Official List under Chapter 22 of the UKLR and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities.

Post-Period Events

There are no significant events occurred after reporting date.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

Taking considered risk is the essence of all business and investment activity, in relation to risk the Company's main objective is to minimise the chance of a material adverse outcome arising from causes which could reasonably have been foreseen, this includes both 'upside' (opportunity) and 'downside' (threat) risks.

The principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year remain unchanged from those detailed in the Company's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Going concern

 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Management has a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Management continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards ("IFRS") and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

 

The presentational currency of the Group is US dollars (USD).

The notes are an integral part of the financial statements.

 

Reporting period

 

These financial statements represent the financial reporting period of the Group for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2024.

 

General

 

An asset is disclosed in the statement of financial position when it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. A liability is disclosed in the statement of financial position when it is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits and the amount of the obligations can be measured with sufficient reliability.

 

If a transaction results in transfer of future economic benefits and/or when all risks associated with assets or liabilities have been transferred to a third party, the asset or liability is no longer included in the statement of financial position. Assets and liabilities are not included in the statement of financial position if economic benefits are not probable or cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

 

The income and expenses are accounted for during the period to which they relate. Revenue is recognized when control over service is transferred to a customer.

 

The Management is required to form an opinion and make estimates and assumptions for assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. The actual result may differ from these estimates. The estimates and the underlying assumptions are constantly assessed. Revisions are recognised during a corresponding revision period as well as any future periods affected by the revision. The nature of these estimates and judgements, including related assumptions, is disclosed in the notes to corresponding items in the financial statement.

 

Basis of consolidation

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements incorporate the financial information of Vox Capital Ltd and all its subsidiary undertakings. Subsidiary undertakings include entities over which the Group has effective control. The Company controls a group when it is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the Group and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the Group. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights.

Principles for foreign currency translation

 

The financial statements of the Group are presented in US dollars, which is the Group's presentation currency.

 

Receivables, liabilities, and obligations denominated in any currency other than USD are translated at the exchange rates prevailing as of the reporting date.

 

Transactions in any currency other than USD during the financial year are recognized in the financial statements at the average annual exchange rate. The exchange differences resulting from the translation as of the reporting date, taking into account possible hedging transactions, are recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

 

The nominal value of the share capital and other share components of the subsidiaries are denominated in Singapore dollars (SGD) and in the pounds of sterling (GBP) and translated into USD using historical exchange rate; the exchange differences resulting from this translation are recorded in the Exchange differences on translating foreign operations in the statement of financial position.

 

Cross-rates GBP/USD, USD/SGD and average rate GBP/USD are taken from https://www.exchangerates.org.uk/ and closing rate GBP/USD is taken from the site Currency Exchange Rates - International Money Transfer | Xe.com.

Revenue

The Group's revenue comprises primary income from the provision of mobile marketing services in 2024 and 2023. Revenue is recognized when the related services are delivered based on the specific terms of the contract. The Group uses a number of different information technology ("IT") systems to track certain actions as specified in customer contracts. The calculation of charges for mobile marketing services is carried out automatically by the technology platform based on pre-defined key parameters, including unit price and volume. These IT systems are complex and process large volumes of data.

 

Records of mobile marketing services charges are generated in an aggregated amount for each category and are manually entered into the accounting system on a monthly basis.

 

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured based on specific contract terms and excludes amounts collected on behalf of any third parties. Revenue is recognized when control over service is transferred to a customer.

The following is a description of principal activities from which the Group generates its revenue.

 

Cost of sales (operating expenses)

Cost of sales represents the direct expenses that are attributable to the services delivered. They consist primarily of payments to platforms and publishers under the terms of the revenue agreements. The cost of sales can include commissions where applicable.

 

Financial instruments

The Group classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability, or an equity instrument in accordance with the terms of the contractual arrangement. Financial instruments are recognised on trade date when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument. Financial instruments are derecognised on the trade date when the Group is no longer a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 

Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any expected credit losses in the case of trade receivables. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

 

Other financial commitments

Financial commitments that are not held for trading purpose are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

 

Other purchased intangibles assessment

The Group annually reviews the recoverability of all long-term assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. The Group determines whether there has been an impairment by comparing the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to the related asset's carrying value. If an asset is considered impaired, the asset is written down to fair value which is either determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset.

 

Intangible fixed assets

Concessions, Intellectual Property and Licenses are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation.

Amortisation is recognized in the income statements on a straight-line over the estimated useful life as follows:

·       Trademarks - 10 years.

·       Licenses - validity period.

·       Programs - 5 years.

 

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at their historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized in the income statement in a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each item of tangible fixed assets. The minimum cost to recognize an objects as a fixed asset is 3,000 USD. The annual depreciation rates applied are:

·      Technical and office equipment, computers - 3 years.

 

Leases

All leases are accounted for by recognising a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for:

·       Leases of low value assets; and

·       Leases with a duration of twelve months or less.

 

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by reference to the rate inherent in the lease unless (as is typically the case) this is not readily determinable, in which case the Group's incremental borrowing rate placed at the official site of the Bank of England.

 

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Group would recognise the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Receivables

Upon initial recognition the receivables are included at fair value and then valued at amortised cost. The fair value and amortised cost equal the face value. Any provision for doubtful accounts deemed necessary is deducted. These provisions are determined by individual assessment of the receivables. All receivables are due within one year.

 

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose only on the cash flow statement.

The cash flow statement from operating activities is reported using the indirect method.

 

Provisions

These are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated.

 

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation, using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

 

Deferred taxes

A deferred tax liability / asset is recognized for any differences in commercial and fiscal valuation of the Group's assets and liabilities.

 

Taxation

Current tax is the tax currently payable based on the taxable profit for the year.

 

The Group recognises current tax assets and liabilities of entities in different jurisdictions separately as there is no legal right of offset. Deferred tax is provided in full on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases, except when, at the initial recognition of the asset or liability, there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss under a business combination. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date, and that are expected to apply when the temporary difference reverses.

 

Tax losses available to be carried forward, and other tax credits to the Group, are recognised as deferred tax assets, to the extent that it is probable that there will be future taxable profits against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of the tax expense in the statement of comprehensive income, except where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity.

 

Financial income and expenses

Financing income includes forex exchange and financial expenses include bank fee.

9.         Transactions with owners (business restructuring)

 

On 23 February 2023, Vertu Capital Holding Ltd. (UK) was liquidated by Vox Valor Capital Limited. The financial effect recognized in the financial statements amounted to a USD 3,881 expense / cost.

 

10.       Earnings per share

 

Basic (losses)/earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

 

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. As at 31 December 2022 the Group has outstanding Warrants issued to the NED Directors (Non-executive directors) and Stonedale Management and Investments Limited Ltd (Stonedale), which when exercised will convert into Ordinary Shares. Total number of Warrants in issue is 45,833,333.

During a period where the Group or Company makes a loss, accounting standards require that 'dilutive' shares for the Group be excluded in the earnings per share calculation, because they will reduce the reported loss per share; consequently, all per-share measures in the current period are based on the weighted number of ordinary shares in issue.

22.       Financial risk management

 

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks through its use of financial instruments which result from its operating activities. All the Group's financial instruments are classified trade and other receivables. The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below:

 

 

Credit risk

 

Generally, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of the financial assets recognised at the reporting date, as summarised below:

 

30 June 2024

 

31 December 2023

Trade receivables

2,173,086


1,126,412

Prepayments

219,040


170,105

Total

2,392,126

 

1,296,517

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial risk to the Group if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation. The nature of the Group's debtor balances, the time taken for payment by clients and the associated credit risk are dependent on the type of engagement.

The Group's trade and other receivables are actively monitored. The ageing profit of trade receivables is monitored regularly by Directors. Any debtors over 30 days are reviewed by Directors every month and explanations sought for any balances that have not been recovered.

 

Unbilled revenue is recognised by the Group only when all conditions for revenue recognition have been met in line with the Group's accounting policy.

 

The Directors are of the opinion that there is no material credit risk at the Group level.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the situation where the Group may encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Group seeks to manage financial risks to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet any foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably.

 

The tables below break down the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groups based on their contractual maturities.

 

The amounts disclosed in the tables below are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances, because the impact of discounting is not significant.

Interest rate risk

 

The Group is not exposed to material interest rate risk as its liabilities are either non-interest bearing or subject to fixed interest rates.

 

Foreign currency risk

 

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures. The Group monitors exchange rate movements closely and ensures adequate funds are maintained in appropriate currencies to meet known liabilities.

 

Reputational risks

 

The Management of the Group believes that at present there are no facts that could have a significant negative impact on the decrease in the number of its customers due to a negative perception of the quality of services provided, adherence to the terms of rendering services, as well as the participation of the Group in any price agreement.
