Financial Results for the period ended 31 December 2015
27 June 2016
Lead All (AIM: LEAL), the AIM listed investing company, is
pleased to announce the financial results for the period ended 31
December 2015.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Our shareholders are aware that your Board of Directors have
actively pursued possible acquisitions and have had detailed
discussions with both public and private companies in Malaysia and
elsewhere that for a variety of reasons mainly relating to due
diligence issues prevented us from reaching a successful
conclusion.
While we continue to evaluate opportunities your Board is
mindful of the slow progress to date in your company's development.
Accordingly we have sought the appointment of Mr Mehmet Ahmed to
the post of Finance Director and we are very pleased to be able to
announce to our shareholders that Mehmet has accepted. Mehmet
brings very considerable financial expertise and experience to his
new role with us and we believe that in the future it will benefit
your directors in terms of his guidance and the benefit of his past
record and provide added focus in our aim of seeking profitable
opportunities for the advantage of our shareholders.
During the financial year the Company raised GBP750,000 through
the issue of 150,000,000 ordinary shares at 0.5 pence per share for
additional working capital.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Board
Director, Mr Geoffrey Fielding, and our financial adviser, Dato
'Sri Dr. Alex Teh Chee Teong for their ongoing advice over the past
year and at the same time I would like to express my appreciation
for the hard and diligent work performed by our staff in their
everyday duties on behalf of your company.
I remain confident as to our progress in the future.

INVESTMENT POLICY
The Company's objective is to generate an attractive rate of
return for Shareholders, predominantly through capital
appreciation, by taking advantage of opportunities to invest in
businesses focusing on the use of Multi Level Marketing ("MLM")
strategies.
The Company aims to provide equity and equity-related investment
capital, such as convertible loans, to companies which are seeking
capital for growth and development, consolidation or acquisition,
or as a pre-IPO round of financing. The Company's equity interest
in a proposed investment may range from a minority position to 100
per cent ownership, as set out below. The proposed investments are
likely to be unquoted in the majority of cases, but may include
publicly traded securities. These investments may be made in
combination with additional debt or equity-related financing and,
in appropriate circumstances, in collaboration with other financial
and/or strategic investors. It is likely that a substantial portion
of the Company's financial resources will be invested in building a
broad portfolio of assets through smaller investments.
The Company intends to be an involved and active investor.
Accordingly, where necessary, the Company may seek participation in
the day to day management through board representation, with a view
to seeking to improve the performance and growth of the
business.
The Company intends to focus on the Asia Pacific region. It will
however consider any geographical area, to the extent that the
investment fits within the Company's investment criteria.
Private Companies
The Company will aim to invest primarily in private companies
with high growth potential, where a timely investment will allow
the company to increase market share and create long-term
shareholder value. It is envisaged that, in relation to an
investment in a private company prior to that company listing on a
stock market, the Company would retain a part of its investment in
the listed entity going forward. The Company intends to work
closely with the management of each investee company to create
value by focusing on driving growth through revenue creation,
margin enhancement and extracting cost efficiencies, as well as by
creating appropriate capital structures to enhance returns.
The Company will target small and mid-sized companies and will
seek to secure at least 'blocking minority' stakes (usually around
25 per cent) and board representation, where it considers that the
Company and/or an investee company would benefit from such an
appointment. The Company will consider making equity investments in
lower than blocking minority stakes only where it sees ways to
increase the stakes to blocking or controlling stakes at a later
date. Each investment is expected to be in the region of US$250,000
(GBP155,000).
Public Companies
In addition, the Company may also invest in companies which have
securities listed on a stock exchange or over-the-counter
market.
When investing in publicly quoted companies, the Company will
seek to select companies with a strong market position or strong
growth potential in their respective segments. No restrictions will
be placed on the size of public companies in which the Company may
make an investment. The Directors intend to make investments in
companies or businesses with attractive valuations and growth
potential, with competent and motivated management, which enjoy
brand recognition, have scalable business models, have strong
relationships with customers and which have in place transparent
and recognized accounting policies and good corporate governance
practices.
INVESTMENT POLICY continued
Realisation of Returns
For private investee companies the Company believes that its
typical investment holding period should provide sufficient time
for investee companies to adequately benefit from the capital and
operational improvements resulting from the Company's investment.
The targeted holding period shall be reviewed on a regular basis by
the Company, but it is expected that this will typically be between
two and four years.
For publicly quoted investee companies the objective is to
maximize capital appreciation without any generally expected
investment period. Following the acquisition, the Company will
monitor the investment closely. Importance will be placed on the
timing of any disposal which will follow a thorough review of
market conditions and those reports and sources that are available
to investors. Should the Company consider that the capital
appreciation of a particular public equity investment has reached
its peak or is likely to or has begun to decline, then the Company
will consider the sale of that investment.
Generally, the Directors will keep under review how best to
realize value for Shareholders, whether through a trade sale,
flotation or secondary refinancing of the investee companies. The
proposed exit route will form a key consideration of the initial
investment analysis.
It should be noted that the nature of the Company's activities
is speculative and, being dependant on specific investment
opportunities, uncertain. Accordingly, an investment in the
ordinary shares is designed only for investors who understand such
risks and uncertainties, and who can afford to bear the loss of
their individual investment.
Given the nature of the Company's Investing Policy, the Company
will not make regular periodic disclaimers, notifications, or
calculations of Net Asset Value.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Principles of Corporate Governance
As a Company traded on AIM, the Company is not governed by the
UK Code of Corporate Governance adopted by the London Stock
Exchange ("the Code") but is required to operate principles of good
governance and best practice. Accordingly, the Directors are
committed to principles of good governance and believe that an
effective system of corporate governance supports the enhancement
of shareholder value. These principles have been in place since the
Company's admission to trading on AIM.
The Directors acknowledge the importance of the Code and to
apply its principles so far as is practicable taking into account
the Company's size and stage of development. The Company has one
non-executive Director.
The Directors have established an Audit Committee (the "Audit
Committee") and a Remuneration Committee (the "Remuneration
Committee") with formally delegated duties and responsibilities to
operate which have been in effect from Admission.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee, which was established on Admission,
comprises Geoffrey Baillie Fielding as Chairman, as well as Ahmad
Nasri Bin Abdul Rahim, will determine and examine any matters
relating to the financial affairs of the Company including the
terms of engagement of the Company's auditor and, in consultation
with the auditor, the scope of the audit. The Audit Committee will
receive and review reports from the management and the external
auditor of the Company relating to the annual and interim accounts
and the accounting and internal control systems of the Company. In
addition, it will consider the financial performance, position and
prospects of the Company and ensure they are properly monitored and
reported on.
Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for making
recommendations to the Board on the Company's framework of
Executive remuneration and its cost. The Committee determines the
contract terms, remuneration and other benefits for the Executive
Director and senior employees, including performance related bonus
schemes, pension rights and compensation payments.
The Remuneration Committee, which comprises Geoffrey Baillie
Fielding and Ahmad Nasri Bin Abdul Rahim with Geoffrey Baillie
Fielding acting as Chairman, will review the performance of the
Executive Director and senior management and set and review their
remuneration and the terms of their service contracts, determines
the payment of bonuses to the Executive Director and considers the
Company's bonus and option schemes.
The Board
The Board is responsible to shareholders for the proper
management of the Company. The Non-Executive Director has a
particular responsibility to ensure that the strategies proposed by
the Executive Director are fully considered. The Board has a formal
schedule of matters reserved to it and has discussions on a regular
basis. The Board is responsible for overall strategy, reviewing
management accounts, approval of major capital expenditure projects
and consideration of significant financing matters.
Directors
During the year, the Board comprised the Executive Director and
Chairman, Ahmad Nasri Bin Abdul Rahim, and Independent
Non-Executive Director, Geoffrey Baillie Fielding. Subsequent to
the year end an Executive Finance Director, Mehmet Ertan Ahmed, was
appointed.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT continued
Internal control
The Directors are responsible for the Company's system of
internal controls and reviewing its effectiveness. The Board has
designed the Company's system of internal controls in order to
provide the Directors with reasonable assurance that its assets are
safeguarded, that transactions are authorised and properly recorded
and that material errors and irregularities are either prevented or
would be detected within a timely period. However, no system of
internal controls can eliminate the risk of failure to achieve
business objectives or provide absolute assurance against material
misstatement or loss.
The key elements of the control systems in operation are:
-- The Board meets regularly with a formal schedule of matters referred to it for decision;
-- It has put in place an organizational structure with clear
lines of responsibility and with appropriate delegation of
authority;
-- Established procedures for the planning, approval and
monitoring of capital expenditure and information systems.
Relations with shareholders
The Board attaches great importance to maintain a good
relationship with shareholders. The Board regards the annual
general meeting as a good opportunity to communicate directly with
investors who are encouraged to make inquiries to officers of the
Company.
DIRECTORS' REPORT
The Directors present their report and the audited financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the Company is to identify and acquire
or invest in, and dispose of businesses focusing on the use of
multiple distribution strategies for the distribution of their
goods and services.
The Company's Investing Policy is set out in full on pages
5-6.
Review of business
The Company was incorporated on 13 July 2011. The Company was
successfully admitted to trading on AIM on 8 February 2012.
The Company aims to use the capital to invest in ventures which
the Board believes will present good return to shareholders, in
accordance with the Company's investing policy. Further details can
be found in the Chairman's Statement on page 4.
Cash resources
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the financial year were
GBP5,000 (2014: GBP159,000). The Company also had a fixed deposit
of GBP2.3 million at the year end and funds due to it from the
share issue carried out in December 2015 of GBP599,000 net of
expenses.
Debt
The Company currently has no debt and although the Board does
not intend to use borrowings to fund investments or early stage
assets, debt may be raised in the future to fund the development of
such assets. In any event, there remains a risk that bank finance
will not be available and, accordingly, alternative sources of
finance may be needed.
International Financial Reporting Standards
The financial statements for the financial year ended 31
December 2015 have been prepared by using International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRSs), as adopted by the European Union.
Results and dividends
The reported loss for the year is GBP66,000 (2014: GBP234,000)
and represents administrative and salary costs.
Further details are set out in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income and note 3 to the financial statements.
No dividend has been paid or proposed for the year.
Going concern
The Directors believe it is appropriate to adopt the going
concern basis in preparing the financial statements as there are
adequate financial resources within the Company to continue its
operational activities for the foreseeable future. The Company can
withdraw the fixed deposit placement within the next twelve months
for investments and working capital if the need arises. The
decision to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing
these financial statements has been reached after reviewing the
performance of the business, the principal risks &
uncertainties, the annual forecast and business plan.
DIRECTORS' REPORT continued

granted.
Principal risk and uncertainties
The Company faces risks and uncertainties that are common to
other companies that invest in MLM businesses; in particular the
following risks are relevant:
Key personnel
The Company is reliant on being able to attract and retain
people with the appropriate skills.
DIRECTORS' REPORT continued
Risks associated with newly incorporated investing companies
The Company has not yet made any substantial investments and has
no operating history upon which to evaluate its likely performance.
The Company's ability to implement its Investing Policy and achieve
its desired returns will be limited by its ability to identify and
acquire suitable investments. The Company's initial and future
investments may be delayed or made at a relatively slow rate
because, among other things:
-- the Company intends to conduct detailed due diligence prior
to approving investments;
-- the Company may conduct extensive negotiations in order to
secure and facilitate an investment;
-- certain structures may need to be established in order to
facilitate an investment; and
-- the Company may need to raise further capital to make
investments and/or fund the assets or businesses in which it has
invested.
Policy on financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments comprise cash, fixed
deposits, short-term receivables and payables arising from its
operations. The Company has not established a formal policy on the
use of financial instruments but assesses the risks faced by the
Company as economic conditions and the Company's operations
develop. Further information on financial risk management and
related policies are contained in Note 15 to these financial
statements.
Supplier payment policy
It is the Company's policy to agree and clearly communicate the
terms of payment as part of the commercial arrangement negotiated
with suppliers and then to pay in accordance with those terms based
upon the timely receipt of an accurate invoice. There are no trade
payables as at 31 December 2015.
Political and charitable donations
During the period the Company has made no political or
charitable donations.
Subsequent events
There were no material events subsequent to the end of the year
under review.
Auditors
A resolution to re-appoint UHY Hacker Young LLP as the Company's
auditors will be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General
Meeting.
Approved by the Board and signed on behalf of the Board.

The Company's place of business is Malaysia.
These financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling
("GBP"), this being the Company's functional and presentational
currency, and rounded to the nearest thousand ("000"). The

because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the Company raises funds.
Financial statements of the Company are prepared and approved by
the Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards, International Accounting Standards and their
interpretations issued or adopted by the International Accounting
Standards Board, as adopted by the European Union ("IFRSs"). The
Company's accounting reference date is 31 December.
These financial statements have been approved for issue by the
Board of Directors on 27 June 2016.
2 Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies applied by the Company in the
preparation of these financial statements are set out below and
have been applied consistently.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis and in accordance with IFRS.
2.2 Going concern
The financial statements of the Company are prepared on a going
concern basis. The Company raises finance for its investment
activities focusing on the use of multiple distribution strategies
for the distribution of their goods and services, especially in the
Asia Pacific region.
The Directors are of the opinion that the Company will have
sufficient cash to fund its activities based on forecast cash flow
information for a period in excess of twelve months from the date
of these financial statements' approval. Management continues to
monitor all working capital commitments and balances on a weekly
basis and believe that they have access to appropriate levels of
financing for the Company to continue to meet its liabilities as
they fall due for at least the next twelve months and is trading as
a going concern.
Lead All Investments Limited
(Company No. WK259337)
(Incorporated in Cayman Islands)
2.2 Going concern (continued)
The Company can withdraw the fixed deposit placement within the
next twelve months for investments and working capital if the need
arises. The decision to continue to adopt the going concern basis
in preparing these financial statements has been reached after
reviewing the performance of the business, the principal risks
& uncertainties, the annual forecast and business plan.
2.3 Segmental reporting
For the purposes of IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' the Company
currently has one segment, being investing in the Multi-level
Marketing (MLM) sector. No further operating segment financial
information is therefore disclosed.
2.4 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentational currency
Items included in the financial statements of the entity are
presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entity raises funds (the "functional currency"). The
functional currency of the entity is Pounds Sterling ("GBP").
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the 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 period
end exchange rates of the monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement
of Comprehensive Income.
2.5 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents (readily convertible into a known
amount of cash) include cash in hand and deposits held at call with
banks with an original maturity of three months or less. For the
purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents are
as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Fixed
deposits are shown separately on the statement of financial
position as they do not meet the definition of cash and cash
equivalents.
2.6 Loans and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair
value, which is usually the original invoiced amount plus
transaction costs, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using
the effective interest method less provisions made for impairment
of receivables.
2.7 Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value,
which is usually the original invoiced amount, and subsequently
carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.8 Taxation
Deferred tax is provided in full using the liability method, on
temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
Deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a
business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects
neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is
determined using tax rates that are expected to apply when the
related deferred tax asset is realised or when the deferred tax
liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the temporary differences can be
utilised.

attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a
deduction from the proceeds.
2.10 Share-based payments
The fair value of options and warrants granted is recognized as
an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the
period that the holders become unconditionally entitled to the
options and warrants. The amount recognized as an expense is
adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options and warrants
that vest.
For equity settled share-based payment transactions other than
transactions with employees the Company measures the goods or
services received at their fair value, unless that fair value
cannot be estimated reliably. If this is the case the Company
measures their fair values and the corresponding increase in
equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of equity
instruments granted. Fair value is measured by use of an
appropriate model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no
account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions
linked to the price of the shares of Lead All Investments Limited.
The charge is adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the
actual number of forfeitures and cancellations during the period.
The movement in cumulative charges since the previous balance sheet
is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, with a
corresponding entry in equity.
2.11 Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted
Certain changes to IFRS will be applicable for the Company's
financial statements in future periods. To the extent that the
Company has not adopted these early in the current financial
statements, they will not affect the Company's reported profit or
equity but they may affect disclosures. As at the date of approval
of these financial statements, the following standards and
interpretations were in issue but not yet effective:
IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers
Numerous other minor amendments to standards have been made as a
result of the IASB's annual improvement project.
2.12 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the
future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,
rarely equal the related actual results. The estimates and
underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions
to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in
the period of the revision and future periods if the revision
affects both current and future periods.
The estimates significant to the financial statements during the
year and at the year end are the consideration of impairment of
financial assets and share based payment calculation, as set out in
the relevant accounting policy.

Changes in share capital in 2015
During December 2015, the shareholders of the Company voted in
an EGM for the sub-division of ordinary shares of 1p each into
ordinary shares of 0.5p each.
On 30 December 2015 the Company issued 150,000,000 new shares of
0.5p each for a total consideration of GBP750,000. The funds raised
were held in escrow by the Company's lawyers at the year-end and
are therefore included in 'other receivables' in the Statement of
Financial Position.
Share warrants
On 30 January 2012, the Company entered into a deed of warrant
with two parties, conditional upon Admission, to subscribe for 5%
and 3% respectively, of the aggregate value of the Exercise Price
of all new shares subscribed by investors on the Placing of shares.
The shares are exercisable at any time up to five years from the
date of Admission at the Placing price of GBP0.10. These shares
were granted for services rendered relating to the Placing of
shares on AIM.
Using the Black Scholes method, the fair value of these options
was calculated to be GBP105,360 and the charge was shown as a
deduction from the proceeds of the share issue in 2012.

11 Share capital and options (continued)
The following assumptions were used in the Black Scholes
formula:

Share price at date of grant (GBP) 0.10
Exercise price (GBP) 0.10
Expected volatility (%) 46%
Option life, years 5 years
Risk free interest rate (%) 3%
Number of shares 2,400,000
Fair value at date of amendment
/ grant (GBP) 0.0439

Expected volatility was estimated by considering the Company's
share price data since admission to AIM.

15 Financial risk management
The Company's activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity
risk and market risk (including interest rate risk, currency risk
and commodity price risk). The Company's overall risk management
strategy seeks to minimize adverse effects from the volatility of
financial markets on the Company's financial performance.
The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the objectives
and underlying principles of financial risk management for the
Company. The Company management then establishes the detailed
policies such as risk identification and measurement, exposure
limits and hedging strategies, in accordance with the objectives
and underlying principles approved by the Board of Directors.
There has been no change to the Company's exposure to these
financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the
risk. Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis
indicated below.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default
on its contractual obligations resulting in a loss to the Company.
The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy
counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where
appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss
from defaults. The Company performs on going credit evaluation of
its counterparties' financial condition. The Company does not hold
any collateral as security over its customers. The Company's major
classes of financial assets are loans made to third parties and
cash and cash equivalents.
As at the end of the financial period, the Company's maximum
exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of
each class of financial asset recognised in the statements of
financial position.
As at 31 December 2015, substantially all the cash and bank
balances as detailed in note 8 and 9 to the financial statements,
are held in major financial institutions which are regulated and
located in Hong Kong, which management believes are of high credit
quality. Management does not expect any losses arising from
non-performance by these counterparties.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum
credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the
reporting date of the Company is as follows:
2015 2014
GBP'000 GBP'000
Other receivables and deposits 759 155
Fixed term deposit 2,330 2,330
Cash and cash equivalents 5 159

15 Financial risk management (continued)
Currency risk
Currency risk arises from a change in foreign currency exchange
rate, which is expected to have an adverse effect on the Company in
the current reporting period and in future years.
The Company maintains its books and accounts in its functional
currency. As a result, the Company is subject to transaction and
translation exposures resulting from currency exchange rate
fluctuations. However, to minimise such foreign currency exposures,
the Company uses natural hedges between sales receipts and
purchases, and operating expenses disbursement. It is, and has been
throughout the current financial period the Company's policy that
no derivatives shall be undertaken except for the use as hedging
instruments where appropriate and cost-efficient. The Company does
not apply hedge accounting.
The Company incurs foreign currency risk on sales, purchases and
operating expenses that are denominated in currencies other than
the functional currency.
The Company's currency exposure is as follows:
2015 2014
GBP'000 GBP'000
Financial assets
Bank balances denominated in Hong
Kong Dollars (HK$) 1 1
Bank balances denominated in Ringgit
Malaysia (MYR) 1 155
Net currency exposure 2 156
======== ========
Interest rate risk
The Company monitors the interest rates on its interest bearing
assets closely to ensure favourable rates are secured.
As at the year end, the Company's only interest-bearing assets
relate to bank balances held. A change in interest rates at the
reporting date would not materially affect profit or loss and as
such sensitivity analysis have not been disclosed.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter
difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to lack of funds.
The Company's exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from
mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities.
The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity
of funding and flexibility through financial support of
shareholders and secures committed funding facilities from
financial institution.

Capital risk management
The Company's objectives when managing capital (defined as share
capital and reserves) are to safeguard the Company's ability to

optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Company has no borrowing and cash and cash equivalents
consist of the Company's own cash at bank only.
