MONEYSWAP PLC
CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT
MoneySwap Plc. ("Moneyswap", the "Company" or the "Group")
released its audited financial statements for the year ended 31
March 2016 at the same time as these unaudited statements for the
six months ended 30 September 2016. Accordingly, in addition to
summarizing the results for the six months ended 30 September 2016,
I also set out below in full my report attached to the 31 March
2016 statements.
Total revenues in 6 months to 30 September 2016 were US$218,572
(6 months ended 30 September 2015: US$134,710) and gross profit was
US$112,320 (6 months ended 30 September 2015: US$80,302). The loss
for the period of US$961,142 was less than the loss incurred for
the 6 months ended 30 September 2015 (being US$2.08 million). The
reduction in the loss in the period was largely attributable to
cost cutting, albeit revenues were substantially up in percentage
terms on the equivalent prior year six month period.
CEO statement for the year ended 31 March 2016
The results for the year ended 31 March 2016 were disappointing;
MoneySwap Plc ("Moneyswap", the "Company" or the "Group") did not
make any significant progress in building its revenue base to a
sustainable level, notwithstanding that revenues and gross profit
increased substantially in percentage terms during the year. Total
revenues in the year were US$397,056 (year ended 31 March 2015:
US$162,602) and gross profit was US$178,728 (year ended 31 March
2015: US$99,938). The loss for the year of US$3.1 million was
marginally less than the loss incurred for the year ended 31 March
2015 (being US$3.5 million). The losses reflect the fact that the
fixed cost element of the Group's operations requires significantly
more volume across the Group's platforms than has been achieved in
order to generate profits.
Net liabilities at 31 March 2016 were US$2,034,967 (31 March
2016: US$2,781,677).
Current trading and financing
Since 31 March 2016 the Company has continued to suffer from
insufficient working capital and significant cost reductions have
been necessary. This in turn has impacted negatively on the ability
of the Group to market its platforms and products and the Group
continues to incur losses.
The Company has made a number of announcements in recent months
updating shareholders on the Board's efforts to secure a
substantial refinancing of the Group. Capital needs have been
funded through a number of loans from related and unrelated
parties, including Wraith Holdings B.V. ("Wraith" and the "Wraith
Loan"). The Wraith principal is a USA-based investor with interests
and experience in payment processing, payment card issuance and
financial services.
The Company has today announced that it has entered into a
subscription agreement with Wraith (the "Wraith Subscription
Agreement"), pursuant to which Wraith has agreed to subscribe
US$3.005 million through the issue of new ordinary shares in the
Company. These new ordinary shares will represent approximately 67%
of the enlarged share capital of the Company (the "Subscription").
In addition the Company has granted Wraith an option to subscribe
for additional shares that would take Wraith's holding up to 75% of
the fully diluted share capital at a price of GBP0.001 per share
(which based on the current share capital) would result in Wraith
paying a further US$1.414 million of subscription monies
("Option"). In the event that Wraith makes the full subscription
including the Option it will come to own a maximum of 75% of the
enlarged and fully diluted share capital. The subscription
agreement is conditional inter alia, on: i) publication of these
financial statements and the unaudited results for the six months
ended 30 September 2016; ii) the receipt of a no objection letter
from the Financial Conduct Authority; iii) the lifting of the
current suspension of trading of the Company's shares (and
depository interests) on AIM, the continued admission of the
Company's trading on AIM and the continued engagement of Allenby
Capital as the Company's nomad; and iv) the approval of the
Company's shareholders of the Subscription and Option at a
forthcoming General Meeting of the Company which will be convened
for a date in April 2017.
As part of the agreements associated with the Wraith
Subscription Agreement, at completion of the Subscription Wraith
will acquire certain debt obligations of the Company totaling
US$1.425 million which, together with the amounts outstanding under
the Wraith Loan, will be set-off in part against the obligation to
pay the subscription proceeds due under the Subscription.
The Board believes that it is likely that the conditions
precedent to the Wraith Subscription will be met or waived by
Wraith and that the subscription will proceed on the basis set out
in the Wraith Subscription Agreement. This will allow the Group to
be restored to a sound financial footing and to benefit from
Wraith's plan for generating new and increased revenue streams
using the existing Group platforms and products. However as of the
date hereof the conditions precedent have not been met. In this
regard I would draw your attention to the accounting policies note
2 in the financial statements and the auditors' reports on the
financial statements. These reports contain an emphasis of matter
as to the going concern basis on which these financial statements
have been prepared.
Board changes
There have been a number of management changes at Board level.
On 11 November 2015 Richard Proksa resigned as CEO (but remained as
a director of the Company), Mr Kung-Min Lin assumed the role of
Chairman and CEO and Ms Yu Shu Fen was appointed as an Executive
Director. On 30 December 2015 Mr Proksa and Mr Lin stepped down as
directors, Ms Yu assumed the role of CEO and I assumed the role as
Chairman.
On 30 August 2016, subsequent to the year end, Ms Yu resigned as
CEO and I assumed the role of Interim CEO in addition to my role as
Chairman. Given the financial position of the Company it has not
been possible to appoint a permanent CEO. Following the completion
of the proposed subscription by Wraith it is intended that a new
CEO will be appointed as soon as reasonably possible
thereafter.
Suspension from trading on AIM
The Company's shares were suspended from trading on AIM on 21
September 2016 for failure to publish its audited financial
statements for year ended 31 March 2016 within six months of the
period end. In addition, the Company was required to publish its
interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2016 prior to
31 December 2016. Following the publication of these 2016 Results,
these suspension conditions have now been satisfied, however, the
Company has been informed by its registrars that, as a result of
unpaid fees due to the Company's working capital constraints, the
depositary interest ("DI") facility put in place at the time of the
Company's admission to trading on AIM has been cancelled. As the
Company is incorporated in Gibraltar, its ordinary shares are not
eligible for electronic settlement in the UK. The DIs were put in
place in order to provide holders of ordinary shares with a
mechanism of electronic settlement using the CREST system.
The AIM Rules for Companies require that all AIM Companies must
ensure that their securities are eligible for electronic
settlement. As a result, the Company's shares will remain suspended
from trading on AIM until such time that the Company has put in
place a replacement DI facility. The Company has been working with
its registrars with regards to implementing a new DI facility and
anticipates that this will be in place prior to the date of the
extraordinary general meeting which is to be held on or about 19
April 2017. An update will be provided in due course.
In conclusion, whilst the financial results for the year ended
31 March 2016 and subsequent trading are totally unsatisfactory I
believe that completion of the Wraith Subscriptions, its
participation in the Company's governance process and its business
development support will result in a brighter future. To get to
this point after an extremely difficult period has required huge
effort and support from various stakeholders; employees,
shareholders, lenders and advisers and I am extremely grateful for
all their efforts.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 SEPTEMBER 2016
1 Basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the
results of MoneySwap Plc (the "Company") and entities controlled by
the Company (its subsidiaries) (collectively the "Group").
The interim consolidated financial statements of the Group have
been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard
34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all of the
information required for full annual financial statements.
The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited, do
not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the
accounting and audit provisions of the Gibraltar Companies Act
2014, and were approved by the Board of directors on 20 March 2017.
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March
2016 were prepared under International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRSs"). The auditors reported on the financial
statements. Their report was unqualified and included reference to
a matter to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis
without qualifying their report.
The preparation of interim consolidated 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. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing the interim consolidated financial statements, the
significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's
accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty
were the same as those that were applied to the consolidated
financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March
2016.
The accounting policies applied by the Group in the interim
consolidated financial statements comply with each IFRSs that is
mandatory for accounting for the six months ended 30 September
2016. These policies are consistent with those adopted in the
Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31
March 2016 and those which will be adopted in the Group's
consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 March
2017.
The principal risks and uncertainties of the Group have not
changed since the last annual financial statements where a detailed
explanation of such risks and uncertainties can be found.
2 Segmental information
In the opinion of the directors, the Group has two business
lines as described below, which are managed separately as they
require different strategies:
- Merchant acquisition and remittance services for China
UnionPay ("Merchant acquisition and remittance")
- Peer to peer foreign exchange and payment ("P2P")
For the Group's internal reporting process, operating
performance for peer to peer foreign exchange and payment are
assessed together and therefore, their segmental results are
combined.
The directors consider that it is neither possible nor
meaningful to distinguish aggregate amortisation and depreciation,
other administrative and operating expenses and taxation between
the business segments, nor segmental net assets and liabilities. As
a result these amounts are not reported to the chief operating
decision maker on a segmental basis.

4 Taxation
Taxation of the Company and its subsidiaries is recognised based
on the rules and regulations of their respective countries of
incorporation.
A deferred tax asset has not been recognised in respect of all
tax losses available to carry forward against suitable future
trading profits as the directors consider there is insufficient
evidence that it is more likely than not all the assets will be
recovered. These assets can be recovered against suitable future
trading profits.

results attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted
average number of shares in issue during the period/year.

6 Property and equipment
During the six months ended 30 September 2016, the Group
acquired assets with a cost of US$nil (six months ended 30
September 2015: US$3,300; year ended 31 March 2016: US$3,300).
7 Goodwill
The goodwill relates to the excess of consideration paid over
the net assets acquired in MoneySwap Limited and MoneySwap FX
Limited. The directors consider that it is neither possible nor
meaningful to distinguish segmental net assets and liabilities
between the business segments.
The goodwill is tested annually for impairment and the last
goodwill impairment test was carried out as at 31 March 2016.
The directors have considered the carrying value of goodwill. In
conducting their assessment they have considered the nature of the
subscription agreement with Wraith for a significant investment by
Wraith, by way of a subscription for new ordinary shares in the
Company, which is expected will represent 75% of the Company's
enlarged and fully diluted share capital.
As at 30 September 2016, the directors did not consider there to
be any impairment in respect of the goodwill.
Movement in goodwill during the period/year is as follows:

their fair value.

the Binomial Model. Valuation of the share options were based on
the following conditions:
1. Share price at grant date for the share options granted on 12
August 2011 and 25 August 2011 is based on the subscription price
of GBP0.05 when the Company was admitted to AIM on 31 August
2011.
2. Expected volatility is estimated based on the standard
deviation of return on historical share price of selected
comparable companies sourced from Bloomberg.
3. Risk free interest rate is based on the market yield of
Sterling Treasury Strip as of the grant date sourced from
Bloomberg.
4. Expected dividend yield is assumed to be 0%.
5. Expected annual departures is assumed to be 0%/5%/8%.

Loans from related parties
On 24 January 2017 the Company obtained a US$100,000 loan from
Broad Rivers International Limited ("Broad Rivers"), a substantial
shareholder. On 6 March 2017 the Company and Wraith entered into a
deed of termination with Broad Rivers under the terms of which the
principal amount of US$100,000 will be repaid to Broad Rivers by
the Company on completion of the fist subscription made under the
Wraith Subscription Agreement.
Wraith Subscription agreement
On 20 March 2017 the Company announced that it had entered into
a subscription agreement with Wraith (the "Wraith Subscription
Agreement"). This agreement provides for Wraith to subscribe
US$3.005 million for approximately 67% of the enlarged share
capital (the "Initial Subscription"). In addition the Company has
granted Wraith an option to subscribe for additional shares that
would take Wraith's holding up to a maximum of 75% of the fully
diluted share capital at a price of GBP0.001 per share (which based
on the current share capital) would result in Wraith paying a
further US$1.414 million of subscription monies. ("Option"). In the
event that Wraith makes the full subscription including the Option
it will come to own a maximum of 75% of the enlarged and fully
diluted share capital. This subscription is subject to the
satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent including, inter
alia, the publication of these financial statements and the lifting
of the suspension of trading of the Company's shares (and
depositary interests) on the AIM Market of the London Stock
Exchange. The Company intends shortly to post a circular to
shareholders setting out full details of this agreement and
associated agreements and to convene a General Meeting of
shareholders to consider and if thought fit pass a Resolution which
will enable this subscription to go ahead following the General
Meeting if all the other conditions precedent are met.
As set out above, in the event that the Initial Subscription is
made then the agreement in place with Changsha provides for the
Changsha loan to be assigned at that point to Wraith. In addition,
loans from Leading Empire Group Limited (US$248,400) and Avance
Development Corp. (US$781,748) have been varied, the sums
outstanding agreed and fixed at the above sums and are to be
assigned to Wraith on the same basis as the Changsha loan. The
Subscription agreement provides for part of the first subscription
amount to be met in part by way of Wraith cancelling the Changsha,
Leading Empire and Avance loans totalling US$1,425,148.
Changes to the Board of Directors
Since the reporting date there have been a number of changes to
the Board of Directors as follows:
Sunny Yu resigned as a director and CEO on 30 August 2016; at
that point Craig Niven, Chairman assumed the role of Chairman and
Interim CEO.
Cessation of e wallet facility
The Company has announced on 18 October 2016 that it had ceased
operating its e wallet facility for individual clients. The
business was a minor revenue generator and incurred costs to
maintain that were not justified given the Board's view of the
strategic importance of this business.
Loans from Wraith
The Group drew down further loans of US$435,000 from Wraith. The
loans bear interest at 10% per annum with repayment on the earlier
of:
a. the termination of the exclusivity agreements entered between
Wraith and certain shareholders for the Company to cease
discussions on potential investment with other potential investors
for a period of six months;
b. two months after cessation of negotiations over the potential
