ORIENT TELECOMS PLC

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six months ended 30 September 2020

Director's Statement

I have pleasure in presenting the interim financial statements of Orient Telecoms Plc and its subsidiary (the "Group") for the six months ended 30 September 2021.

During the financial period, the Group reported a net profit of GBP44,804 (0.045 pence profit per share).

The Group operates as a fully managed overlay network service provider in the South East Asia Region, which makes it very light weight and thus not requiring heavy investment towards building the network infrastructure. In the past six (6) months, especially in Malaysia, the Group has seen an increasing approach towards rolling out 5G network as quickly as possible. With this new development the Board believes there will be fairly large opportunities to expand its own product called "OfficeMate" throughout Malaysia.

There has been an increasing demand for bigger bandwidth and managed connectivity solutions in the region, hence the Group is very much focused on increasing its sales and reach in various countries through its strong partnership with the infrastructure owners.

The Group has been continuously working to enhance its own Product and Managed Services offerings. The Technology team is focused on creating a customised operating system which will help us manage the services for customers in a much more efficient and productive way. This project is expected to be completed by the fourth (4) quarter of 2022.

Despite the challenges brought on by the Covid pandemic, the Group have shown positive results due to its aggressive sales and marketing activities. And with mass immunisation programs initiated by the Governments which have contributed to the declining number of covid cases worldwide, we expect the coming years to be less challenging and more fruitful.

The Group have engaged new partners and network owners to negotiate better rates, which the Board believes will have a positive effect on the Group's pricing and gross margin levels. The market remains competitive and requires continuous effort to engage customers effectively and to introduce new services or features into its offerings

The Group's entire operational team remains dedicated and committed towards this goal which we plan to achieve through hard work and unwavering commitment in the face of the forthcoming challenges.

Withthe emergence of new variants of the covid, the effect of which we are unable to quantify at the present moment, but we believe that, with our perseverance and unrelenting commitment we will be able to overcome those challenges

During the AGM 2021, one of the non-executive directors was not re-elected. The Board considers that the current composition of the board, which comprise a CEO, a non-executive Chairman and a not-executive director, is adequate given the size of the Company.

Responsibility Statement

The Directors are responsible for preparing the interim financial statements in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ('DTR') and with International Accounting Standard 34 on Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by United Kingdom (IAS 34).

The Directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, the interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The interim financial statements include a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7 and DTR 4.2.8, namely:

-- an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months and their impact on the interim financial statements, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial period; and

-- material related-party transactions in the first six months and any material changes in the related-party transactions described in the last annual report.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

   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 the offices of London Registrar, Suite A, 6 Honduras St, London EC1Y 0TH United Kingdom.

   2.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Basis of preparation

The condensed financial information for the period ended 30 September 2021 and 30 September 2020 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 comparative interim financial information covers the period from 1 April 2020 to 30 September 2020.

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 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union ("IFRS"). The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified and unmodified.

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

The interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2021 was approved by the Directors on 22 December 2021.

Going concern

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

The COVID-19 pandemic lock downs in Malaysia which was implemented in March 2020 have since been removed as the country have reached herd immunity and with the easing of restriction businesses are moving towards normalisation. Hence, opening up more opportunities for businesses.

The company is already in an active discussion with some of the potential clients to secure new business in the forthcoming year.

The Company has enough cash balances to run its operations for the next 24 months.. The Company also relies heavily on outsourcing companies to perform its international service maintenance which helps the company to manage its cashflows better and also keep the lowest possible headcount on the payroll.

   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 2021 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 2021.

Revenue is recognised either when the performance obligation in the contract have been performed (so "point in time" recognition) or "overtime" as control of the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Revenue represents rendered managed telecommunication services to the customers, the end users, which is recognised over the period of time when the services is performed.

Invoicing and payment terms are generally monthly in advance except for a single customer who has been granted extended timeframe for settlement. A contract liability represents the obligation of the Group to render services to a customer for which consideration has been received (or the amount is due) from the customer

In addition, under contract with customer, the customer is also entitled to claim rebates if the service performed / downtime is more that the allowed hours in any given month. The Group has implemented an open source fully customised Network Performance Monitoring system, which can provide an in-depth view of performance by customer. Due to the high level of service provided under each contract with a customer, the Group has no history of having to provide rebates. On that basis, the variable consideration was considered as remote.

Revenue is derived substantially from Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. Revenue excludes value added tax and other sales taxes.

   5.   PROFIT PER SHARE

There are currently no dilutive potential ordinary shares.
