A copy of the annual report and accounts will shortly be posted to shareholders and made available on the Company's website, www.moneyswapholdings.com, in accordance with AIM Rule 20.

 

 

Richard Proksa, Chief Executive Officer of MoneySwap, said:

 

"The year under review not only saw us reposition MoneySwap as a full service payments processing provider, but has also laid the foundations for the roll-out of our offering to the UK market in the year ahead. Our fully developed suite of UnionPay enabled payment solutions, along with the recent appointment of our UK sales team, places MoneySwap in a strong position to sign-up UK merchants to UnionPay functionality, and in the process, allow them to participate in the rapid growth in demand for goods and services from the Chinese consumer. I look forward to providing updates on our progress in the year ahead."

About MoneySwap (www.moneyswap.com)

MoneySwap is a merchant acquirer for UnionPay providing payment gateways for both online and point of sale merchants for the United Kingdom. In addition, China UnionPay has licensed MoneySwap for its MoneyExpress service which enables people abroad to send funds directly to UnionPay cardholders in China. The Group also offers prepaid card services working with partners such as Corner Bank, Switzerland and Visa.

 

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT

 

Dear Shareholders,

 

The year under review has been marked by the advancement and refinement of our key service offerings, as we focus on building card payment gateways that enable consumers to access more international markets. We remain primarily centered on the Chinese market, where we see huge growth in both domestic consumption and international travel markets. With this in mind, I am pleased to report that, thanks to the milestones met during the 12 months to March 2013, we are on course to achieve our objective in the year ahead: to offer comprehensive, innovative and convenient payment solutions that reflect and support the evolution of spending habits in China.

 

Over the period, we put in place much of the infrastructure required for the launch of our full service payment processing offering to the UK market, specifically enabling UK merchants to accept payments from China UnionPay ("CUP" also known as "UnionPay") cardholders. We anticipate that this launch will take place over the next few months. MoneySwap is licensed by CUP, China's largest bankcard payment processor, to act as a full service payment provider covering both online and point of sale terminals for merchants in the United Kingdom. We are also licensed by CUP to offer remittance services through the MoneyExpress gateway. As a result, we have developed a suite of payment gateways which interlink with CUP and for every transaction processed using these, MoneySwap receives a fee. These include UnionPay Online Payments, UnionPay Point of Sale Payments and UnionPay MoneyExpress. Combined with the breadth of the market opportunity before us, there are over 800 million UnionPay cardholders, and the post-period end appointment of an experienced UK sales team, we are confident that MoneySwap is well placed to monetise its payments solutions in the UK and establish market share.

 

Business review

 

(i) Products

 

During the period under review, we worked on our integration with MoneyExpress. This is a UnionPay service licensed to MoneySwap which enables funds to be remitted from abroad directly to UnionPay cardholders in China. The Directors believe MoneyExpress is more convenient and quicker than traditional methods of international transfer to China.

 

MoneySwap also worked with its partners during the period to develop the payment gateways for all three applications (Point of Sales ("POS"), UnionPay Online Payment ("UPOP") and MoneyExpress). MoneySwap has also been developing the processes and procedures for the supporting infrastructure which involved merchant settlements, anti-money laundering compliance and money transfers through SWIFT. Implementation of a customer relationship management system was also initiated and our team streamlined workflows and were cross trained to address peaks in workloads.

 

(ii) Management team and operational excellence

 

The Company has attracted a number of seasoned sector professionals from within Asia to strengthen its management team. Peter Casale joined as Head of Product Management. He has previously worked for a number of tier one banks in the UK and Hong Kong in senior project and product management roles. Calvin Yan, who previously was China CFO for The Nielsen Company, joined in February as our new CFO.

 

Importantly, we have transferred our applications to cloud computing with major global hosting service providers in order to seek to ensure that our services are as cost effective as possible whilst maintaining high levels of security, availability and reliability. We continue to be organised by product lines to ensure that the entire product cycle from initial concept to operations is managed with the relevant domain knowledge and execution expertise.

 

Financial Review 

 

The financial year ended 31 March 2013 was highlighted by fund raising, fully providing against revenue of US$1.75 million (£1.10 million) generated in 2012 and further product realignment in order to position the Company for growth. During the fiscal year, the Group raised US$1.45 million (£1 million) via the issue of convertible loan notes. This was done in two tranches one dated December 2012 and another dated January 2013. The Company also raised US$2.1 million (£1.4 million) in loans that were later amended so as to enable them to be convertible into shares of the Company. Revenue decreased to US$129,000 (£82,000) (2012: US$1.78 million) although the majority of this can be attributed to the US$1.75m receivable generated in the previous financial year which was later fully provided against.

 

Emphasis of Matter - Going Concern

The audit opinion for the Group's results for the year ended 31 March 2013 contains an emphasis of matter in relation to the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. After careful review of the Group's budget, its medium-term plans, liquid resources and all relevant matters, we are confident that the Company and the Group have adequate financial resources for its current and immediate projected requirements.

 

Post period outlook

 

We believe being able to move and adapt to shifts in consumer spending habits and protocols is key to our prospects for success. With this in mind, following the World Trade Organisation ruling for China to further open its market to foreign credit and debit cardsi, which brought in a number of new potential competitors for our pre-paid cards, the Board decided to redirect our focus and develop POS and UPOP solutions as licensed to us by China UnionPay for the UK market.

 

Both of these solutions provide scope for MoneySwap to generate revenues moving forward. Post-period end, we have begun to offer our POS solution into the UK, focusing primarily on Chinese tourists, students and business travelers. With increasing Chinese visitors to the UK, and a current under-penetration of UnionPay enabled businesses, we believe our POS growth strategy has the ability to gain traction quickly.

 

Our e-commerce UPOP solution targets the explosive growth of online payments in China. China has one of the highest number of internet users in the world who spent US$210 billionii online mostly in the domestic market. The trend to purchase luxury goods from foreign websites is growing as demand for authentic products is rising. Well-known local and luxury brands are favored from the UK. Merchants are able to quickly integrate our e-commerce solution on their websites with our reliable, secure and cost-effective UPOP gateway.

 

We are excited about the MoneyExpress opportunity which we launched post-period end. The Directors anticipate that through our MoneyExpress integration we will be able to tap into the estimated US$57 billioniii market of inward remittances to China in 2011. Of this, £463 millioniv was from the UK. Using our MoneyExpress gateway, UnionPay cardholders in China will be able to receive almost instantaneous remittances from abroad directly to their UnionPay card and receive a text message on their mobile phone from their relevant Chinese bank. The cardholder can then use their card at an ATM to withdraw cash or make purchases wherever UnionPay cards are accepted. This is a relatively new service provided by UnionPay and one which we believe will generate promising revenues as more banks in China integrate their systems with MoneyExpress.

 

Following the end of the period under review, we were pleased to appoint a dedicated UK sales team, made up of seasoned professionals with solid track records and existing networks. We are particular pleased that Hasu Jani joined as the Head of Sales, Business Development and Operations for the UK and Europe. Prior to MoneySwap, Mr. Jani worked mostly in payment solutions providers, running merchant acquiring/card programs, sales and business development teams. To accelerate the acquisition of merchants, we are targeting major non-UnionPay merchant acquiring and payment providers. They have large communities of existing merchants which we can serve. For those UK merchants who need both a POS and UPOP solution, we are a one shop provider. With a clear strategy in place and a highly motivated sales team assembled to leverage our relationship with UnionPay, we believe we are well positioned for growth.

 

The size of the opportunity is clear to see. During 2012, 179,000 Chinese touristsv spent £340 million in the UK. This is expected to increase as the UK government is considering ways to simplify visa applicationsvi for Chinese tourists. Tourism and retail bosses estimate that the UK misses out on £1.2 billionvii from Chinese visitors a year as a result of its visa system. In addition 78,000 Chinese students enrolled in universities throughout the UK and spent an estimated £2 billionviii on tuition fees and other expenses. With over 3.2 billionix UnionPay cards in circulation virtually all of these Chinese visitors and students are also UnionPay cardholders. UK merchants can therefore gain a competitive advantage by accepting payments via UnionPay cards. MoneySwap offers these merchants a total POS and UPOP solution which includes innovative technology, implementation, training, support and merchant settlements. In addition we are considering ways to assist the merchant to market their brand in China.

 

With the people, products and processes in place we are determined to deliver revenue growth. We believe that each one of our UnionPay payment solutions represents significant revenue growth as it is intricately linked to the purchasing power of Chinese consumers for goods and services they buy in the UK.

 

Finally, I would like to thank our team at MoneySwap and our partners for their dedication and commitment to delight our customers. I also thank our board of directors and you our shareholders for another year of support.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND COMPANY STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2013

 

1 General

 

MoneySwap Plc (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") are principally engaged in providing prepaid card services and merchant acquisition services to China UnionPay ("CUP"), and operating an online peer to peer foreign exchange and payment platform.

 

The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Gibraltar. The Company's shares were listed on the Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") of the London Stock Exchange on 31 August 2011.

 

2 Significant accounting policies

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Report Standards ("IFRSs") as adopted by the European Union ("EU"). IFRSs are subject to amendment and interpretation by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the IFRSs Interpretations Committee and there is an ongoing process and review and amendment by the European Commission.

These accounting policies comply with each IFRSs that were mandatory for accounting for the year ended 31 March 2013.

The consolidated financial statements also comply with Gibraltar Companies (Accounts) Act 1999, the Gibraltar Companies (Consolidated Accounts) Act 1999 and the Gibraltar Companies Act 1930 (as amended). Under Section 10(2) of the Gibraltar (Consolidated Accounts) Act 1999, the Company is exempt from the requirement to present its own income statement.

 

The parent company made a loss after tax of US$1,271,206 (2012: US$1,403,244).

 

The principal accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of its financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013 with comparatives for the year ended 31 March 2012, are set out below. The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all periods provided.

Going concern

The Group has prepared a budget covering 12 months from the date of this report. The critical assumption made in this budget is the Group's success in acting as payment provider for all three of China UnionPay's card payment services - online, point of sale and MoneyExpress, and the receipt of US$1 million from shares issuance to potential shareholders.

 

After careful review of the Group's budget, its medium-term plans, liquid resources and all relevant matters, the directors are confident that the Company and the Group have adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence for 12 months from the date of approval of this report. They have therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

 

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries).

These financial statements consolidate the results and statement of financial position of the Company and those entities treated as subsidiaries using the acquisition method of accounting.

Subsidiaries are entities where the Group has power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanied by a share of more than 50 per cent. of the voting rights. All inter-company balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the Company. They are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity based on the share of net assets, separately from equity attributable to the equity holders of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

Changes in the Group's interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised as an allocation of the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and the equity holders of the Company.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill is the difference between the cost of an acquired entity and the aggregate of the fair value of that entity's identifiable assets and liabilities. Positive goodwill is capitalised on the consolidated statement of financial position.

At each balance sheet date goodwill is reviewed for impairment. If any indications of impairment exist then an impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its estimated recoverable amounts.

Investment in associate

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in the financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments.

Losses of an associate in excess of the Group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate) are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the relevant associate.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation less any recognised impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the costs can be measured reliably. All other costs, including repairs and maintenance costs, are charged to the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment other than freehold land and is calculated on a straight-line basis as follows:

Office and computer equipment - 20%

Leasehold improvements - 20%

 

Depreciation is provided on cost less residual value. The residual value, depreciation methods and useful lives are annually reassessed.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Any impairment is taken direct to the income statement.

 

Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of development expenditure incurred in respect of software for the Group's electronic exchange platform and payment gateway systems and is recognised as an intangible asset in accordance with the provision of IAS 38 "Intangible Assets". Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. Amortisation of these assets is charged to administrative and operating expenses the income statement on a straight-line basis over the expected useful economic life of the asset.

Amortisation is charged against assets from the date at which the asset becomes available for use and is calculated on straight line basis as follows:

Electronic exchange platform - 20%

Payment gateway systems - 20%

 

Where no intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is treated as expenditure in the period in which it is incurred.

Impairment of non-financial assets

At each balance sheet date, the directors review the carrying amounts of the Group's tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

Equity

 

Equity comprises the following:

 

· "Share capital" represents amounts subscribed for shares at nominal value.

· "Share premium" represents amounts subscribed for share capital, net of issue costs, in excess of nominal value.

· "Share-based payment reserve" represents amounts credited for share option expenses, until exercise or forfeiture of share options, when the amounts are taken into share capital and premium or retained earnings.

· "Foreign exchange translation reserve" represents the exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of the parent company into the Group's presentational currency and the translation at the closing rate of the net investment in the subsidiaries.

· "Combination reserve" represents amounts arising from the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the assets to be recorded to the account for the share for share exchange.

· "Retained earnings" represents the accumulated profits and losses attributable to equity shareholders.

 

Financial instruments

 

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

 

Trade and other receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of any provision is recognised in the income statement.

Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts.

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

Convertible loan notes

 

At initial recognition the convertible loan notes which do not contain an equity component are measured at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost. The interest expense recognised in the income statement on the convertible loan notes is calculated using the effective interest method.

 

If the note is converted, the carrying amounts of the convertible loan notes are transferred to share capital and share premium as consideration for the shares issued. If the note is redeemed, any difference between the amount paid and the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement.

 

Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises sales of prepaid cards, commission from merchant acquisition services for CUP and commission received on the execution of foreign exchange and fund transfers on behalf of the clients. Other income mainly comprises bank interest income and government subsidy received.

 

· Sales income from prepaid cards is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of the ownership have been transferred to the customers, which is taken as the time when the customers acknowledge or settle the invoices.

· Commission from merchant acquisition services is recognised based on settlement of the relevant payment transactions.

· Commission from remittance is recognised on an accruals basis following execution of the transactions.

· Bank interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

· Government subsidy is recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the subsidy will be received.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the Company is Sterling ("£"). As the Group operates in both Europe and Asia, United States dollars ("US$") is used as the presentational currency for the Group's consolidated financial statements. Foreign currency transactions by Group companies are recorded in their functional currencies at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities have been translated at rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with any exchange adjustments being charged or credited to the income statement.

 

On consolidation the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary companies with non-United States dollars functional currency are translated into the Group's presentational currency at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date and the income and expenditure account items are translated at the average rate for the period.

 

For the purpose of foreign currency translation, the net investment in a subsidiary is determined inclusive of foreign currency intercompany balances for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future.

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation reserve) in equity. If the operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests.

 

In the statement of cash flows, cash flows denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the presentational currency of the Group at the average exchange rate for the year or at the prevailing rate at the time of the transaction where more appropriate.

 

The exchange rate applied at the statement of financial position date was US$1.5209 per £1 (2012: US$1.5990).

 

Employment benefits

 

Provision is made in the financial statements for all employee benefits. Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefit and annual leave obliged to be settled within 12 months of the balance sheet date, are recognised in accruals.

 

The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment awards is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

Share-based payments

 

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled share-based payments by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.

Lease payments

 

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

 

Current tax

 

Current tax for each taxable entity in the Group is based on the local taxable income at the local statutory tax rate enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and includes adjustments to tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous periods.

 

Deferred tax

 

Deferred taxation is calculated using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, if the deferred tax arises from the 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, it is not accounted for. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted (or substantially enacted) by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

 

Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that, i.e., more likely than not, future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

 

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in the income statement, except where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to equity in which case the related deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity.

 

New standards and interpretations in issue but not yet effective

 

At the date of authorisation of these consolidated financial statements, the following standards and interpretations were in issue but not yet mandatorily effective and have not been applied in the financial statements:

 

· IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments - effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2015

· IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements - effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014

· IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements - effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014

· IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities - effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014

· IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement - effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013

· IAS 19 - Employee Benefits - effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013

· IAS 27 (Revised) - Separate Financial Statements - effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014

· Amendments to IAS 32: Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities - effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014

 

The directors anticipate that the adoption of these standards and interpretations will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the period of initial adoption.

 

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, IFRSs requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. The critical accounting estimates and judgments made by the Group regarding the future or other key sources of estimation uncertainty and judgment that may have a significant risk of giving rise to a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are:

 

Share-based payments

 

The Group measures the cost of share options granted by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a Binomial model, with the assumptions detailed in note 18. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to these share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

 

Impairment of goodwill

 

The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units, using value-in-use calculations, to which the goodwill is allocated. These value-in-use calculations require the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating units and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present values. The assumptions used in this estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying amount of goodwill are discussed in note 12.

 

Development expenditure

 

The Group's accounting policy for development expenditure results in certain items of expenditure being capitalised where it is considered likely to be recoverable by future revenue generated from sales achieved by the Group. This policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised the expenditure under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the income statement.

 

Impairment of development expenditure

 

In accordance with the Group's accounting policy, each asset (or cash generating unit) is evaluated every reporting period to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If any such indication exists, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed and an impairment loss recognised to the extent that carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating group) of assets is measured at the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

 

Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. Value in use is also generally determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows, but only those expected to arise from the continued use of the asset in its present form and its eventual disposal. Present values are determined using a risk-adjusted pre-tax discount rate appropriate to the risks inherent in the asset. Future cash flow estimates are based on expected sales volumes and prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), operating costs and future capital expenditure. This policy requires management to make these estimates and assumptions which are subject to risk and uncertainty. Hence, there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the capitalised development expenditure. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the asset may be impaired and the impairment would be charged against the income statement.

 

Useful economic life of intangible assets

 

For intangible assets which have a finite life, the directors revisit their estimate of useful economic life at each period end and revise accordingly. The directors take into consideration the intangible asset and related sales volume (including historic and projected).

 

4 Segmental information

 

In the opinion of the directors, the Group has three business lines as described below, which are managed separately as they require different strategies:

 

- Prepaid cards ("PP cards")

- Merchant acquisition for CUP ("Merchant acquisition")

- Small and medium-sized entities ("SMEs") and International remittance

 

For the Group's internal reporting process, operating performance for SMEs and International remittance are assessed together and therefore, their segmental results are combined.

 

The directors consider that is neither possible nor meaningful to distinguish aggregate amortisation and depreciation, other administrative 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.

5 Exceptional impairment loss on trade receivables

 

In the year ended 31 March 2012, the Group recognised revenue of US$1,752,866 in respect of sales of 860 prepaid cards to a customer which was billed in February 2012. The revenue was recognised when the significant risks and rewards of the ownership have been transferred to the customers, which was taken as the time when the customer acknowledged the invoice and agreed to the terms of invoice, i.e., funds received were not refundable to the customer in any event and the cards were not returnable to the Group. As the customer agreed to the above terms, the Group considered the sales were concluded and thus revenue was recognised accordingly.

 

A provision against the US$1,752,866 was made on 30 September 2012 albeit management continued to pursue the collection of these funds. The directors have now determined that there is no prospect that the outstanding balance will be recovered either in part or in full. Thus, impairment loss was made in respect of this trade receivable in the current year.

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. The unrecognised tax losses will expire in the following years ending 31 March:

Basic loss per share has been calculated by dividing the net results attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year.

 

There are no dilutive potential ordinary shares as at 31 March 2013 and 2012 and thus, the diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share.

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 as at 31 March 2013, where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit was determined based on value-in-use calculations.

 

The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit was determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets prepared by the directors of the Company covering a five-year period with a growth rate of 2% from 2014 onwards and a discount rate of 13%. The discount rate is the average of selected comparable companies' weighted average cost of capital. Apart from the existing businesses, the cash flow projections take into account the new businesses which goes live in the current year, which will largely depend on the same cash-generating unit.

 

As at 31 March 2013, the directors did not consider there to be any impairment in respect of the goodwill.

The fair value of the share options granted is measured using 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 £0.05 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 as of the grant date sourced from Bloomberg.

4. Expected dividend yield and annual departures are assumed to be 0%.

 

4,925,000 of the share options forfeited during the year due to resignation of the grantees as employees of the Group.

 

 

Shares granted

 

During the year ended 31 March 2012, the Group granted some shares for services received from an employee and consultants as follows:

(a) During the period from May 2012 to March 2013, the Group obtained certain loans from three related parties and an independent third party. The loans bear interest at 5% per annum, have no fixed repayment terms and are repayable at the Group's discretion. Supplemental agreements were later signed which transferred the loans to convertible loans. Under the supplemental agreements, the Company, at its sole discretion, can choose to repay or convert the loans to ordinary shares of the Company within two years from the original loan agreements, i.e., ranging from 22 May 2014 to 26 March 2015. The conversion price shall be calculated as the average closing market price of an ordinary share in the Company in the ten business days prior to the conversion dates.

 

(b) On 7 December 2012, 10 December 2012 and 8 January 2013, the Group issued convertible loan notes to three independent third parties, totally US$1,450,000. The notes carry 10% annual coupon with maturity dates in two years' time, at which point the note holders may request repayment of the outstanding principal plus any accrued interest. Should the note holders not request repayment then the repayment date will automatically be extended for 12 months. The Group has the option to repay the notes at any time from six months after the loan agreements.

 

The note holders may also choose to convert the loans into ordinary shares of the Company at the maturity dates ranging from 6 December 2014 to 7 January 2015. The conversion price shall be calculated as the average closing market price of an ordinary share in the Company in the ten business days prior to the maturity dates less 10% discount.

Trade and other payables generally have short time to maturity, while the convertible loan notes have maturity dates in two years' time.

 

At 31 March 2013 and 2012, the fair value and the book value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities were materially the same.

 

Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and foreign currency risks arises in the normal course of the Group's business.

 

The Group's overall risk management strategy seeks to minimise adverse effects from the unpredictability of financial markets on the Group's financial performance. The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the objectives and underlying principles of financial risk management for the Group.

 

These risks are limited by the Group's financial management policies and practices described below.

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group does not generally provide credit to its customers but credit exposures can arise, normally for a short period of time, as the Group depends on its customers to pay for monies and services provided. Credit exposures are monitored regularly against approved risk limits, with client margins called for where appropriate. The total of financial assets was US$563,414 at 31 March 2013 (2012: US$3,122,938)

 

Cash and cash equivalents are held at banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The total of cash and cash equivalents was US$295,017 at 31 March 2013 (2012: US$1,140,558).

 

At 31 March 2013, the Group has concentration of credit risk as all (2012: over 99%) of the total trade receivables was due from one customer. Ageing analysis was detailed in note 14. Other receivables and deposits are spread over numerous counterparties and customers.

 

 

Liquidity risk

 

The Group's policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

 

The following table details the remaining contractual maturities at the balance sheet date of the Group's financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the balance sheet date) and the earliest date the Group can be required to pay:

Interest rate risk

 

Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

 

The Group's interest rate risk arises primarily from the interest-bearing convertible loan notes of US$3,512,000, which are interest-bearing at 5% or 10% per annum and expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. Details of the notes are set out in note 20.

 

The Group does not account for the fixed rate financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Thus, a change in interest rate at the end of the reporting period would not affect profit or loss.

 

 

Foreign currency risk

 

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises on financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity by which they are held.

 

The Group's currency exposure based on the information provided to key management is as follows:

At 31 March 2013, the Group held client money in its bank accounts amounting to US$4,827,764 (2012: US$5,707,301) in trust on behalf of its customers. Such client money is therefore not reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Subsequent to the year end, the Group received loans of US$132,000 and US$1,100,000 from a related party and an unrelated party, respectively.

The conversion price shall be calculated as the average closing market price of an ordinary share in the Company in the ten business days prior to the conversion dates.

 

In June 2013, the Company's director, Mr. Richard O'Dell Poulden, resigned from his office and 6,434,822 ordinary shares were issued in settlement of director's fees and expenses accrued to him totalling £38,608.93 at the then bid price of £0.006.

 

32 Statutory accounts

 

The financial information does not constitute the Group's statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2013 or the year ended 31 March 2012, but is derived from those accounts.

Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2012 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in Gibraltar. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2013 will be filed in due course. The auditors have reported on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2013 and their report draws attention to the disclosures made in respect to going concern as detailed in note 2. Despite drawing attention to these matters, the auditor's report was unmodified and did not contain statements under section 10(2) of the Gibraltar Companies (Accounts) Act 1999 or section 182(1)(a) of the Gibraltar Companies Act.
