CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

The Board of Medilink is pleased to present the Group's unaudited results for the six month period ended 30 June 2012 which show an encouraging trend of improved operating performance compared to the comparative period for the six months ended 30 June 2011.

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

The Group recorded revenues of £958,000 (H1 2011: £871,000) and a loss after tax of £367,000 (H1 2011: £622,000) for the six months ended 30 June 2012.

 

Growth in revenues, which increased by 10% over the same period last year, with revenue from Malaysia and China increased by 16% and 34% respectively. The Malaysian operating entities continued to make the largest contribution of 47% (H1 2011: 45%) of the Group revenues for the period under review, whilst China and Singapore contributed 24% (H1 2011: 20%) and 29% (H1 2011: 35%) respectively.

 

The operating loss for the period was lower compared to the same period last year as a result of revenue growth in Malaysia and China and the cost saving measures taken particularly in relation to operations in Singapore.

 

 

PERIOD IN FOCUS

 

The first half of 2012 witnessed another increase in revenue in China from £175,000 in the first half of last year to £235,000 representing a 34% growth over the same period last year. The number of enrolled members in China as at the end of August was approximately 17,500 (August 2011 - 11,000) while the number of insurance companies contracted stands at 25 compared to 15 at the same stage last year. The number of healthcare providers operating in our network in China now stands at 294 (255 at this stage last year). The loss incurred in MediLink's operations in China remains consistent with the comparative period last year due to the corresponding increase in staff costs. Management are not anticipating a significant increase in operating costs in the second half of 2012.

 

The increase in revenue from our Malaysia operations compared with the same period last year was due to the continuous growth in member enrollment especially from our self insured corporate clients. As a result, a lower loss of £5,000 in Malaysia was recorded compared to loss of £101,000 in the same period last year as the region moves in to profitability.

 

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. This has effectively reduced our operating costs in this division by 42%.

 

 

PROSPECTS

 

With the steady increase in member enrollment numbers in all regions, the Directors are confident that the Group's financial performance should continue to improve in the second half of 2012.

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

Period ended 30 June 2012

 

1 Basis of preparation

 

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. The principal accounting policies used in preparing the interim results are those the group expects to apply in its financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2012 and are unchanged from those disclosed in the group's Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.

 

The interim results have not been reviewed nor audited by the Company's auditors. The comparatives for the year ended 31 December 2011 are not the Company's full statutory financial statements for that period. A copy of the statutory financial statements for that period, which were prepared under IFRS, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified, but included an emphasis of matter in respect of going concern:

 

"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."

Whilst the financial information included in this Interim Financial information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS, it does not include sufficient information to comply with IFRS.

 

The interim results announcement was approved by the board on 28 September 2012.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share

 

Basic loss per 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. In accordance with IAS 33 and where the Group has reported a loss for the period the shares are not diluted

The Directors do not propose a dividend in the period.

 

4 Taxation

 

The interim tax credit reflects an estimate of the likely effective tax rate for the period.

 

5 Turnover and segmental analysis

 

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

ii) Software licensing

 

The CODM monitors the operating results of each segment for the purpose of performance assessments and making decisions on resource allocation. The management has organised the entity based on differences in products and services. Third party administrator segment is derived from aggregating China, Malaysia and Singapore entity while Software licensing segment represent a single entity from Malaysia. Performance is based on external and internal revenue generations and profit before tax, which the CODM believes are the most relevant in evaluating the results relative to other entities in the industry. Segment assets and liabilities are presented inclusive of inter segment balances, as inter-segment pricing. Information regarding each of the operations of each reportable segment is included below.
