NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD FROM 12 SEPTEMBER 2014 TO 31 DECEMBER 2015

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 12 September 2014 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law. The registered office of the Company is at the offices of Offshore Incorporations (Cayman) Limited, Floor 4, Willow House, Cricket Square, PO Box 2804, Grand Cayman KY1-1112, Cayman Islands.

The Company's Ordinary shares are currently admitted to a standard listing on the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange.

The Company's nature of operations is to act as a special purpose acquisition company.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Board has reviewed the accounting policies set out below and considers them to be the most appropriate to the Company's business activities.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted for use by the European Union and IFRIC interpretations applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified for financial assets carried at fair value.

The financial information of the Company is presented in British Pound Sterling ("£").

Standards and interpretations issued but not yet applied

At the date of authorisation of this financial information, the directors have reviewed the Standards in issue by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and IFRIC, which are effective for annual accounting periods ending on or after the stated effective date. In their view, none of these standards would have a material impact on the financial reporting of the Company.

Comparative figures

No comparative figures have been presented as the financial information covers the period from incorporation on 12 September 2014 to 31 December 2015.

Going concern

This financial statement has been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers any cash on short-term deposits and other short term investments to be cash equivalents.

Taxation

The tax currently payable is based on the taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided for using the liability method on temporary timing differences at the balance sheet date between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised in full for all temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences carried forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is assessed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred income tax asset to be recovered.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as either:

i) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

ii) loans and receivables

iii) held-to-maturity investments

iv) available-for-sale financial assets

The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this classification at every reporting date.

As at the balance sheet date, the company did not have any financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and in the categories of held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities measured at amortised costs.

Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through comprehensive income statement if the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as such upon initial recognition

Other financial liabilities

Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, where applicable, using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

Operating segments

The directors are of the opinion that the business of the Company comprises a single activity, that of an investment Company. Consequently, all activities relate to this segment.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income, expenditure, assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated, including expectations of future events to ensure these estimates to be reasonable.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company's nature of operations is to act as a special purpose acquisition Company. Thus significantly reduces the level of estimates and assumptions required.

4. LOSS BEFORE TAXATION

The loss before income tax is stated after charging:

5. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The Company is regarded as resident for the tax purposes in Cayman Islands.

No tax is applicable to the Company for the period ended 31 December 2015. No deferred income tax asset has been recognised in respect of the losses carried forward, due to the uncertainty as to whether the Company will generate sufficient future profits in the foreseeable future to prudently justify this.

6. OTHER RECEIVABLES

7. LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. 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. There are currently no dilutive potential ordinary shares.

8. SHARE CAPITAL & RESERVES

Allotted, called up and fully paid (Ordinary shares of £0.01 each):

On 12 September 2014, the Company was authorised to issue 200,000,000 shares of a nominal or par value of £0.01 each of one class, designated as Ordinary Shares. On 12 September 2014, Offshore Incorporations (Cayman) Limited subscribed for one Ordinary Share of £0.01 in the Company. On the same date, Offshore Incorporations (Cayman) Limited transferred its one Ordinary Share of £0.01 in the Company to Nordic Alliance Holdings Limited and the Company issued a further 19,999,999 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each to Nordic Alliance Holdings Limited.

On 19 January 2015, the Company issued 80,000,000 Ordinary shares of £0.01 each at par as part of the Initial Public Offering of the Company's shares.

9. DIRECTORS EMOLUMENTS

During the period to 31 December 2015 there were no staff costs as no staff was employed by the Company, other than the directors fees.

10. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT POLICY

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The capital structure of the Company consists of borrowings and equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company uses a limited number of financial instruments, comprising cash, short-term deposits, bank loans and overdrafts and various items such as trade receivables and payables, which arise directly from operations. The Company does not trade in financial instruments.

Financial risk factors

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The Company's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance.

a) Currency risk

The Company does not operate internationally and its exposure to foreign exchange risk is limited to the transactions and balances that are denominated in currencies other than Pounds Sterling.

b) Credit risk

The Company does not have any major concentrations of credit risk related to any individual customer or counterparty.

c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and available funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. The Company ensures it has adequate resource to discharge all its liabilities. The directors have considered the liquidity risk as part of their going concern assessment. (See note 2).

d) Cash flow interest rate risk

The Company has no significant interest-bearing liabilities and assets. The Company monitors the interest rate on its interest bearing assets closely to ensure favourable rates are secured.

Fair values

Management assessed that the fair values of cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, bank overdrafts and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payable. The Company's accounting policies and method adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis on which income and expenses are recognised in respect of each class of financial assets, financial liability and equity instrument are set out in Note 2. The Company do not use financial instruments for speculative purposes.

The principal financial instruments used by the Company, from which financial instrument risk arises, are as follows:

There are no financial assets that are either past due or impaired.

13. PENSION COMMITMENT

The Company has no pension commitments at the end of the period.

14. OPERATING LEASES

There Company's future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Key management are considered to be the directors and the key management personnel compensation has been disclosed in note 9.

During the period the Company did not enter into any material transactions with related parties. As at balance sheet date, the amounts due to the directors were £23,043.

16. CONTROL

The Directors consider there is no ultimate controlling party.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On 19 April 2016 the Company announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the proposed acquisition of the entire issued share capital of VCB Malaysia Berhad, a company incorporated in Malaysia for consideration of £350,000 payable in cash on completion. The proposed acquisition is conditional, inter alia, on satisfactory due diligence, shareholder approvals, execution of the transaction and subsequent re-admission of the Company to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on completion. Accordingly, while discussions regarding the proposed acquisition continue in accordance, there can be no certainty that any transaction will occur. Should the proposed transaction complete it would constitute a reverse takeover requiring compliance with the relevant provisions in the Listing Rules. VCB Malaysia Berhad was established in Malaysia in 1999. It is a management consulting firm that provides financial consultancy and support services in the areas of corporate finance and investment banking and advice to high net worth individuals seeking growth and steady income from their capital as well as providing corporate finance advice to growth companies.
