Chairman's statement
The revenue of the Group grew by 7.26% to GBP33.59 million in
the first six months of 2016, which was mainly contributed by
growth in the mobile phone prepaid airtime reload and bill payment
business via the Group's existing banking channels (such as mobile
banking, internet banking and ATMs) and payment terminal base in
Malaysia. As a result of the increased revenue, the Group recorded
an operating profit of GBP0.29 million (H1 2015: operating profit
of GBP0.22 million) and the Group's profit after tax increased to
GBP0.14 million in the first six months of 2016, as compared to a
profit after tax of GBP0.11 million in the first six months of
2015.
The contribution from the Group's operations in the Philippines
remained insignificant with a small revenue generated through the
provision of an e-payment solution.
As at 30 June 2016, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of
GBP2.57 million (30 June 2015: cash and cash equivalents of GBP1.71
million) and the secured loans and borrowings from financial
institutions were GBP3.05 million (30 June 2015: GBP2.43
million).
Current trading and outlook
The Board of MobilityOne expects the trading performance in the
second half of 2016 to remain positive notwithstanding the current
economic situation in Malaysia which may present challenging
business conditions.
Besides the Group's mobile phone prepaid airtime reload and bill
payment business via its existing business channels, the Group will
continue to explore new opportunities to expand its e-payment
solutions and services in Malaysia to capitalise on the efforts of
the Malaysian central bank to encourage switching from paper-based
payments to e-payments.
In view of the Group's past experience in the international
remittance business, the Group is acquiring 50% of the issued and
paid-up share capital of Unique Change Sdn Bhd ("Unique Change")
for a nominal purchase consideration of RM10.00 (c. GBP1.87).
Unique Change is incorporated in Malaysia and provides
international remittance services from Malaysia, mainly to
Bangladesh, Nepal and Indonesia. It currently holds a remittance
business license issued by the Central Bank of Malaysia and has 6
outlets in Malaysia. The acquisition provides a good opportunity
for the Group to partner with the existing shareholders of Unique
Change to grow the business. In 2015, there were more than 2.1
million foreign workers in Malaysia, mainly from Indonesia (39.2%),
Nepal (23.5%) and Bangladesh (13.2%) who have the need to send
money back to their home countries. Full details on the acquisition
have been announced today.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of preparation
The Group's interim financial statements for
the six months ended 30 June 2016 were authorised
for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 September
2016.
The interim financial statements are unaudited
and have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs and IFRIC
interpretations) issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as adopted
by the European Union, and with those parts
of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 applicable
to companies preparing their financial statements
under IFRS. It has been prepared in accordance
with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and
does not include all of the information required
for full annual financial statements. The financial
statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention.
Full details of the accounting policies adopted,
which are consistent with those disclosed in
the Company's 2015 Annual Report, will be included
in the audited financial statements for the
year ending 31 December 2016.
2. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated statement of comprehensive
income and statement of financial position include
financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries made up to 30 June 2016.
3. Nature of financial information
The unaudited interim financial information
for the six months ended 30 June 2016 does not
constitute statutory accounts under the meaning
of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. The
comparative figures for the year ended 31 December
2015 are extracted from the audited statutory
financial statements. Full audited financial
statements of the Group in respect of that financial
year prepared in accordance with IFRS, which
we received an unqualified audit opinion, have
been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
4. Functional and presentation currency
(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 (GBP),
which is the Company's presentational currency
as this is the currency used in the country
in which the entity is listed.
Assets and liabilities are translated into Pound
Sterling (GBP) at foreign exchange rates ruling
at the Statement of Financial Position date.
Results and cash flows are translated into Pound
Sterling (GBP) using average rates of exchange
for the period.
(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:

5. Segmental analysis
No segmental analysis of revenues, profits,
assets and liabilities are presented and no
geographical segment information is presented
as the Group mainly trades and provides services
in only one region - the Far East.
6. Taxation
Taxation on the income statement for the financial
period comprises current and deferred tax. Current
tax is the expected amount of taxes payable
in respect of the taxable profit for the financial
period and is measured using the tax rates that
have been enacted at the Statement of Financial
Position date.
Deferred tax is recognised on the liability
method for all temporary differences between
the carrying amount of an asset or liability
in the Statement of Financial Position and its
tax base at the Statement of Financial Position
date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised
for all taxable temporary differences and deferred
tax assets are recognised for all deductible
temporary differences, unused tax losses and
unused tax credits to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profit will be
available against which the deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unused tax
credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not
recognised if the temporary difference arises
from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability
in a transaction which is not a business combination
and at the time of the transaction, affects
neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
at the tax rates that are expected to apply
to the period when the asset is realised or
the liability is settled, based on the tax rates
that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the Statement of Financial Position date.
The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset
is reviewed at each Statement of Financial Position
date and is reduced to the extent that it becomes
probable that sufficient future taxable profit
will be available.
Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement,
except when it arises from a transaction which
is recognised directly in equity, in which case
the deferred tax is also charged or credited
directly in equity, or when it arises from a
business combination that is an acquisition,
in which case the deferred tax is included in
the resulting goodwill or negative goodwill.
7. Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share is calculated by
dividing the profit in the six month period
ended 30 June 2016 of GBP144,761 (30 June 2015:
profit of GBP113,165 and year ended 31 December
2015: profit of GBP165,678) attributable to
ordinary shareholders by the number of ordinary
shares outstanding at 30 June 2016 of 106,298,780
(30 June 2015: 106,298,780 and 31 December 2015:
106,298,780).
The diluted earnings per share for the six month
period ended 30 June 2016 is calculated using
the number of shares adjusted to assume the
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary
shares of 116,898,780 (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).

9. Contingent liabilities
In the period under review, corporate guarantees
of RM20.0 million (GBP3.68 million) were given
to a licensed bank by the Company for credit

10. Significant accounting policies
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 2015
except for the adoption of new and amended
reporting standards, which are effective for
periods commencing on or after 1 January 2016.
Various amendments to standards and interpretations
of standards are effective for periods commencing
on or after 1 January 2016 as detailed in the
2015 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.
11. Dividends
The Company has not proposed or declared an
interim dividend.
12. Interim report
This interim financial statement will, in accordance
with Rule 20 of the AIM Rules for Companies,
be available shortly on the Company's website
at www.mobilityone.com.my.
