CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

Medilink-Global UK Limited is pleased to present the Group's results for the year ended 31 December 2012.

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

The Group recorded revenue of £2.08 million (2011 revenue: £1.85 million) and a loss after taxation of

£0.70 million (2011: loss after taxation £3.34 million) for the year ended 31 December 2012. The

increase in revenue was particularly evident in Malaysia and China. The core TPA business continued to grow steadily at 19% over the previous year. The overall increase in revenue of 13% was lower as a result of the smaller contribution from software licensing of £91K (2011 - £175K). However the cost of sales remained at similar levels to 2011 and as a result gross margins increased from 32% in 2011 to 39% for 2012. The gross profit generated improved by £222K, an increase of 38% over the previous year. The operating cost decreased significantly by £2.44 million from last year mainly as a result of the occurrence in 2011 of an impairment cost of £1.36 million and a share based payment charge of £0.85 million. When these elements are stripped out the administrative costs remained relatively static. This represents a positive sign that the Group is heading towards sustainability in the coming financial year.

 

GROUP'S OPERATIONS REVIEW

 

China

 

Revenue from our China operations continued to grow steadily, achieving a growth rate of 38% to

£0.56 million (China revenue for 2011: £0.405 million) as a result of growth in membership enrolment arising from the TPA Contracts with the Insurance Companies. Its operating cost had stabilised which resulted in a marginal increase of 8% over the previous year.

 

The average monthly revenue per employee during the year for China operations of £1,090 was an improvement of 42% compared to the previous year figure of £768. We expect the monthly average revenue per employee for China will continue to improve as business volumes increase.

 

To date, we have signed TPA contracts with 28 insurance companies and 1 corporate customer, of which 8 came on board during the FY 2012. At the end of 2012, there were 348 (2011 : 270) healthcare providers operating in our network in China.

 

As stated in the previous year's report, it takes a number of months before newly signed-up insurance companies make an impact on revenue in terms of membership enrolment. The increase in membership levels is now beginning to gather pace. The number of members increased by over 4,800 in 2012, which was almost double last year increase. We expect membership levels to accelerate more intensively during the coming year.

 

Malaysia

 

The Board's decision to direct the company's resources to focus on TPA business in Malaysia has produced a positive outcome in TPA businesses with revenue growth of 26% compared to 2011. The company's intensified foray into the corporate market and government-linked organisations during the year are expected to produce significant TPA business in the coming financial year. The acquisition of INGMalaysia by AIA is an important corporate development which we expect to create a positive impact for Medilink-Global Malaysia in terms of larger business volume and enhanced market position by virtue that the newly-merged insurance entity has become the number one insurer in the country in terms of total premium size and policy holders' base.

 

Singapore

 

As previously reported the Group relocated its Singapore operations to Malaysia in the last quarter of 2011, in order to improve the efficiency of the Group and as a cost saving measure, which has effectively reduced underlying operating cost by 13%. Revenue in Singapore decreased by 2% over the previous year and the number of healthcare providers in our network remained at 146.

 

PROSPECTS 

Medilink will continue to provide excellent services to its customers and we anticipate the Group will be heading towards sustainability for the coming FY 2013 or in early FY 2014.

 

We will continue to strengthen all areas of the organisation and maintain our position as a leading regional TPA with a global servicing capacity.

 

The Company will continue to monitor its cash position, which is currently constrained. Cost cutting measures implemented during 2012 and 2013 have assisted in this regard. The Directors will continue to explore options for supplementing the Company's cash resources, which may or may not include new investment at either the Company or subsidiary level.

 

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

 

On behalf of the board, I would like to extend our thanks to our business partners, customers, associates, healthcare providers and valued shareholders for their support throughout the year. We also wish to thank the management and staff of the entire Medilink-Global Group for their continued loyalty and commitment in discharging their duties.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012

 

1. General information

 

The Company was incorporated in Jersey as a limited liability par value company under the laws of Jersey, with the name Medilink-Global UK Limited and with company number 99680. The Company is governed by its articles of association and the principal statute governing the Company is Jersey law. The liability of the members of the Company is limited. The Company's registered office is Queensway House, Hilgrove Street, St Helier Road, Jersey, JE1 1ES. The Company is domiciled in Jersey. The Company's principal place of business is Asia.

 

These financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling ("£") and rounded to the nearest thousand ("000"). The functional currency of the entities in the Group is the Malaysian Ringgit as that is the Currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. The directors have chosen to present these financial statements in Pound Sterling due to the international exposure and shareholders of the entity.

 

2. Basis of preparation

 

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and using accounting policies which are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements, with the following comment in respect of going concern made in note 2(v) to the financial statements:

 

"The directors report that after making enquiry, they have a reasonable expectation that the company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The Group's ability to continue as a going concern is reliant upon continuing shareholder support or successfully obtaining alternative means of funding as it moves towards self-sustainability and to finance its on-going expansion. In considering the appropriateness of this basis of preparation, the Directors have reviewed the Company's working capital forecasts and performed sensitivity analysis thereon and the key inputs into these can be found in note 10 in the annual report and accounts. They believe that the increasing revenues from trading activities and the support of key shareholders will be sufficient for the Group's purposes for a minimum of 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements. The Directors have considered and assessed the letter of support provided by these key shareholders and are satisfied that theywill and can, if required, provide the support for the development of the growth over atleast the next twelve months from signing these financial statements. If the Group was unable to secure sufficient funding to enable it to continue on a going concern basis then adjustments would be necessary to write down assets to their recoverable amounts, reclassify fixed assets and long-term liabilities as current and provide for additional liabilities."

 

The financial information set out in this announcement does not constitute the Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011, but was derived from those financial statements. The auditors have reported on the statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012; this report was unqualified but included the following emphasis of matter:

 

"In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is not modified, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure made in note 2 (v) to the financial statements concerning the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which depends on the continued shareholder support and the generation of increased revenues. These conditions, along with the other matters explained in note 2 (v) to the financial statements, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the company was unable to continue as a going concern."

 

The financial information set out in this announcement was approved by the board on 28 June 2013.

 

The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend.

 

3. Business segments

 

The Group applies IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Per IFRS 8 operating segments are based on internal reports about components of the group, which are regularly reviewed and used by the Board of Directors being the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") for strategic decision making and resource allocation, in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The Group's reportable operating segments are as follows:

 

i) Third party administrator

The amortisation recognised in respect of intellectual property has been included in the line item, administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

 

Description of intangible assets

 

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of the subsidiaries represents the excess of the cost of acquisition overthe Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiaries recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The carrying value of goodwill is allocated to the respective segments as follows: -

 

 

2012 2011 £'000 £'000

Third party administrator 2,957 2,957

Software licensing 81 81 Total carrying value of Goodwill 3,038 3,038

 

System software comprises Electronics Claims Clearance System and Loyalty Programme software. The system software is initially recognised based on the cost that would be incurred in re-creating the asset and is subsequently amortised based on straight-line method over a period of three years. Contracted customers are the existing customers of the acquired subsidiaries. The contracted customers are initially recognised based on the estimated net present value of the service contracts entered into between the customers and subsidiaries acquired and is subsequently amortised based on straight-line method over a period of five years. The recoverable amount of cash generating unit is determined based on value in use calculation as set out below.

 

The goodwill and other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. The 2012 review was undertaken in the first quarter of year 2013 and the impairment of goodwill amounting to Nil (2011:

£1,100,000) is recognised in the income statement.

 

Management have approved the forecast for 2013 and have prepared additional projection based on the 2012 numbers for the next five years. This was used as the basis for determining the recoverable amount of each CGU.

 

In conducting the review we used a market beta of 4 and a growth rate as below:

 

The growth rate ranges from 26% to 69% per year with an average of 43% with a peak in growth due to arise in the first few years. The discount rate applied had been set at 25%.

 

Management are satisfied that there are no reasonably possible changes in key assumptions, which would cause the recoverable amount of any of our GGUs to be below their carrying amount.

 

 

Sensitivity analysis

 

A sensitivity analysis has been carried out for each CGU. The results of the analysis can be summarised as follow:

 

If the estimatedgrowth rate to forecast the revenue had been 10 percentage point lower than the basis assumption, total recoverable amount would be 25 percent lower.

 

If the estimated discount rate used for the Group's discount cash flow had been one percentage point higher than the starting assumption of 25%, total recoverable amount would be 2% lower.

 

These calculations are hypothetical and should not be viewed as an indication that these figures are anymore or less likely to be changed. The sensitivity analysis should therefore be interpreted with caution.

20. Financial instruments

 

Capital management

 

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders, benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Management considers, as part of its capital, the financial sources of funding from shareholders and third parties. Our key process for managing capital is regular Board reviews of our capital structure and needs.

 

The Group's financial instruments, which are recognised in the statement of financial position, comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables and ordinary shares. The accounting policies and methods adopted, including the basis of measurement applied are disclosed above, where relevant. The information about the extent and nature of these recognised financial instruments, including significant terms and conditions that may affect the amount, timing and certainty of future cash flows are disclosed in the respective notes above, where applicable.

 

The Group does not generally enter into derivative transactions (such as interest rate swaps and forward foreign currency contracts) and it is, and has been throughout the year, the Group's policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.

 

There were no financial instruments not recognised in the statement of financial position.

 

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest-rate risk. These risks are limited by the Group's financial management policies and practices as described below:

 

(a) Credit risks

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers and investment securities.

 

The Group has credit risk management policies in place and exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Management generally adopts conservative strategies and tight control on credit policy. The Group has limited the amount of credit exposure to customers.

 

The average credit period on sales of services is 120 days. No interest is charged on the trade receivables.

 

Before accepting any new customer, the Group will check the credit worthiness of any new customers.

 

The credit risk on cash and cash equivalent is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings recognised by international credit rating agencies.

 

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the fair value of trade receivables of £1,302,000 (2011: £677,000) and other receivables of £221,000 (2011:

£172,000). The Group does not hold any collateral as security.

 

(a) Liquidity risks

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

 

To ensure liquidity, the Group maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents on demand to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

 

(b) Foreign currency exchange risks

 

The Group does not hedge its foreign currencies. Transactions with customers and vendors are mainly denominated in Malaysia Ringgit, Singapore Dollars, US Dollars and Chinese Yuan Renminbi. The Group has bank accounts in Malaysia Ringgit, Singapore Dollar, US Dollars and Chinese Yuan Renminbi to mitigate against exchange risks.

 

The sensitivity analyses in the table below details the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on the group's post-tax profit for the year ended 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011.

 

In each case, it is assumed that the named currency is strengthening or weakening against all other currencies, while all the other currencies remain constant. Results are shown for all currencies where the impact on group post tax profit would be more than 5%. If the GBP weakened or strengthen by 10% against the Chinese Yuan Renminbi, with all other variables in each case remaining constant, then:

The Group's primary interest rate risk relates to interest bearing debts. Investments in financial assets are mainly short term in nature and are not held for speculative purposes but are placed in fixed deposits.

 

The Group manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining a fixed rate borrowing to mitigate the risk associated to interest rate fluctuation.
