2. Results

 

The loss for the Consolidated Entity for the half year ended 30 June 2013 was $553,785 (six months period ended 30 June 2012: loss of $962,617) after income tax of nil (six months period ended 30 June 2012: nil).

 

 

3. Review of Activities

 

The half year ended 30 June 2013 delivered consolidated revenue of $9,789,641, compared to the six months period ended 30 June 2012 revenue of $5,233,054. The consolidated revenues for the half year ended 30 June 2013 increased by 87% in comparison with the six months ended 30 June 2012.

 

The increase in revenue is a result of the Company's strategy to enter into electric two wheel vehicle market in China. During the half year ended 30 June 2013, the Company continued ramping up its production of PowerEagle's electric two wheel vehicles. In addition, the Company launched six new models of electric two wheel vehicle products into the Chinese market and opened its first flagship retail store in China during the half year ended 30 June 2013. Post 30 June 2013, Vmoto opened another two retail stores in China.

 

The Consolidated Entity achieved a gross profit margin of 11.2% for the half year ended 30 June 2013, compared to the six months period ended 30 June 2012 gross profit margin of 20%. This is mainly due to the sale of the electric two wheel vehicles in China having higher volume and lower margins. The Company is confident that the gross profit margin will improve with improved economies of scale, expected to be achieved as the production of units at Vmoto's Manufacturing Facilities in Nanjing (the "Nanjing Facility") increases in anticipation of higher sales in the coming financial years.

 

The Consolidated Entity recorded a loss for the half year ended 30 June 2013 of $553,785, being an overall improvement of 42.5% compared to the six months period ended 30 June 2012.

 

During the half year ended 30 June 2013, the Consolidated Entity's net assets have decreased by 4.6% to $9.9 million.

 

On 15 July 2013, 3,241,527 unlisted options with an expiry date of 14 July 2013 and exercise price of $0.09 remained unexercised on their expiry date and accordingly have lapsed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the options.

 

During the half year ended 30 June 2013, Vmoto continued with its strategy of design, manufacture and distribution of high quality "green" electric powered two wheel vehicles and a range of western designed electric (and some petrol) two wheel vehicles from its low cost manufacturing facilities in Nanjing, China.

 

The Company's extensive sales pipeline began delivering rewards as customers such as PowerEagle placed significant orders. The Company also began to focus on the domestic Chinese market, the world's largest electric two wheel vehicle market, with 30 million units produced in 2012 and expected to increase to 40 million units in 2015 (Source: China Electric Two Wheel Vehicle Industry Research Report, 13 November 2012).

 

EXISTING AND NEW CUSTOMERS

 

PowerEagle: During the half year ended 30 June 2013, the Company delivered approximately 22,100 units of PowerEagle electric scooters to the customer. Production continued to be efficient and the Company remains on track to produce PowerEagle's forecast production of 42,000 units for the year ending 31 December 2013.

 

E-Tropolis: The Company commenced the production of E-Tropolis electric scooters during the period. By 30 June 2013, the Company had delivered 192 units to the customer.

 

Netherlands: The Company secured B.V Nimag as its new exclusive distributor in the Netherlands. 38 units were shipped to the Netherlands during the period.

 

USA: The Company delivered its first order of 75 units to KLD Energy in the USA where KLD will install their own Samsung lithium battery packs and drive systems into the Vmoto "120" model. KLD's engineers are performing further tests on the drive system and visited Vmoto's Nanjing Facility at the end of July 2013 for the required system update.

 

Denmark: The Company received an order of 72 units from its Denmark distributor and expects to receive the deposit in August 2013.

 

Brazil: As announced on 24 April 2013, the Company signed a joint venture ("JV") agreement with Riba Motors Industria e Comercio Ltda ("Riba"), providing Vmoto access to Riba's assembly facility with direct distribution to Latin America, the world's second fastest growing electric scooter market (Source: Pike Research).

 

The JV with Riba as local partner offers significant cost savings for the Company and the opportunity for Vmoto to leverage Riba's expertise in the Latin America market.

 

Due to the unprecedented social turmoil and unrest in Brazil and the significant interest received in the domestic Chinese market by Vmoto, the Company opted to defer its marketing efforts in Brazil and focus on the world's biggest market, China, which the Company anticipates will generate better returns in the short to medium term.

 

Others:Containers were shipped to distributors in South Africa, USA, Australia, South Korea and Egypt whilst European orders slowed due to inclement weather and a poor economic climate.

 

LAUNCH OF NEW MODELS/VERSIONS IN CHINA

 

In June 2013, Vmoto launched the first batch of six new models of electric two wheel vehicles in China. These new models are updated versions of Vmoto's E-Max classic 80S and 120S electric scooters and newly developed electric two wheel vehicle models. The new models have been developed specifically to target the Chinese market, the design being modern and fashionable and at a reasonable price point.

 

VMOTO'S FLAGSHIP CHINESE RETAIL STORE

 

In June 2013, Vmoto opened its first Chinese flagship retail store in Lishui District, Nanjing. The store covers 260m2 and occupies a prime location in proximity to the busiest shopping street in Lishui District, Nanjing. As at the end of 2012, Nanjing had a residential population of over 8 million.

 

The opening of the new flagship retail store in China is a key milestone for the Company and is considering further expansion in China, including opening more retail stores (one is currently being fitted out) and additional co-operation agreements with existing manufacturers and enterprises.

 

Post the end of the period, the Company opened two more retails stores in China. A second retail store has been opened in Jurong City, Jiangsu Province, which covers an area of 100m2, occupies a corner location and is located approximately 60 kilometres from Vmoto's Nanjing Facility which, as at the end of 2012, had a residential population of over 620,000.

 

Vmoto also opened a third retail store in the Lishui District, Nanjing, which covers 80m2, occupies a corner location and is approximately 10 kilometres from Vmoto's Nanjing Facilities.

 

EXHIBITIONS

 

Vmoto participated in the European Postal Services exhibition held in Madrid, Spain from 12 to 14 March 2013.

 

Vmoto also presented at an investor forum, Stars in 2013 Series, in Sydney, Australia on 13 February 2013, which was well attended by over 150 attendees including high net worth investors, professional investors, stockbroking firms and analysts.

 

The Company, with its parts supplier, Taizhou Quanshun Motor Co, Ltd, co-exhibited 3 new electric two wheel vehicle models in Henan Province in May 2013, China to promote Vmoto and its products.

 

Vmoto received significant interest from many Chinese distributors and dealers at the exhibition. Although Vmoto is a relatively new player in the electric two wheel market in China, many Chinese distributors and dealers have already placed sample and initial orders with the Company. Many distributors and dealers are also visiting Vmoto's Nanjing Facility, China to discuss further cooperation with the Company.

 

CORPORATE

 

On 29 January 2013, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Simon Farrell and Mr Ivan Teo as Non-Executive Chairman and Finance Director respectively.

 

Following shareholder approval at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on 17 May 2013, 5,000,000 Class E Options (each Option having an exercise price of $0.04 and expiry date of 23 May 2018) and 5,000,000 Class F Options (each Option having an exercise price of $0.08 and expiry date of 23 May 2018) were issued to Mr Simon Farrell.

 

Vmoto's Australian registered office relocated to Suite 1, Ground Floor, 83 Havelock Street, West Perth, Western Australia in March 2013 and Vmoto's European after sales service, marketing and distribution centre moved from Barcelona, Spain to Bremen, Germany in February 2013 in order to provide a more efficient after sales service to the Company's distributors and customers in Europe.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Company continues to deliver on its existing OEM contract with PowerEagle and planning to develop additional models of electric two wheel vehicle products to launch into the Chinese market and to open more retail stores in China to expand its distribution network in China.

 

The Company has also been approached by a number of parties operating in the electric vehicles sector for collaborations or joint ventures. Discussions with these parties are continuing and the Company is looking forward to progressing these to see if any agreements can be secured to add long term value to the Company.

 

The Company is very excited about the opportunities in China and continues executing a number of strategies to gain a stronger foothold in China and further consolidating its strategic advantages to access Chinese market, the largest market for electric two wheel vehicles in the world, with 30 million units produced in 2012 and expected to increase to 40 million units in 2015.

 

The Company is also in discussions with a range of potential new customers across the globe, in particular India and Indonesia, and is anticipating a full year profit for the year ending 31 December 2013.

The statement of changes in equity is to be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

notes to the conSOLIDATED financial statements

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The half year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.

 

The half year financial report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Report of Vmoto Limited for the six months period ended 31 December 2012.

 

It is also recommended that the half year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Vmoto Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year ended 30 June 2013 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

 

(a) Basis of Preparation

 

The half year financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 "Interim Financial Reporting".

 

The Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Directors believe this to be appropriate for the following reasons:

· the Consolidated Entity has long term supply agreements and demand for its electric powered two wheel vehicle products is increasing. As the units increase, this will further reduce the cost of goods manufactured due to achieving higher levels of economies of scale, which will further improve the gross profit margins;

· the Consolidated Entity has entered into a Strategic Co-operation Agreement in China, which it anticipates will increase its sales significantly;

· the Consolidated Entity has signed a significant OEM agreement in Germany, which it anticipates will increase its sales significantly;

· the Consolidated Entity's loss after tax has continuously decreased and it will further reduce corporate and other non-sales resources without materially affecting revenue activities;

· the Consolidated Entity's Stage 1 and 2 of the Nanjing Facility have been completed and have been used as security for its existing operating facility. As at the date of this report, RMB4.1 million (approximately AUD720,000) of the operating facility is still available for draw down if required. Moreover, the Consolidated Entity is able to draw down the facility at renewed repayment dates when the current loans are repaid;

· On 26 August 2013, the Company announced that it has received firm commitments from sophisticated investors to raise $1.5 million (before cost) at an issue price of $0.02 per share. At the date of this report, deposit payments of $1.5 million have been received;

· the Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that indicate the Consolidated Entity will be cash flow positive for the year ending 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015, and will enable the Consolidated Entity to pay its debts as and when they fall due.

 

At the date of this report and having considered the above factors, the Directors are confident that the Consolidated Entity and the Company will be able to continue operations into the foreseeable future. The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the recorded assets and liabilities amounts that might be necessary should the Consolidated Entity and the Company not continue as going concerns.

 

(b) Significant changes in accounting policies

 

The half year consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the annual financial statements for the six months period ended 31 December 2012, except for the adoption of amending standards mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013, as described below.

 

New and Revised Accounting Requirements Applicable to the Current Half-year Reporting Period

 

The Group has adopted the following new and revised Australian Accounting Standards from 1 January 2013 together with consequential amendments to other Standards:

· AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements;

· AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements (August 2011);

· AASB 2011-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards; and

· AASB 2012-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Transition Guidance and Other Amendments.

 

These Standards are mandatorily applicable from 1 January 2013 and thus, became applicable to the Group for the first time in the current half-year reporting period. The Group has applied these Accounting Standards retrospectively in accordance with AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and the specific transition requirements in AASB 10 and AASB 11. The effects of initial application of these Standards in the current half-year reporting period are as follows:

 

· Consolidated financial statements:

 

AASB 10 provides a revised definition of control and additional application guidance so that a single control model will apply to all investees. Revised AASB 127 facilitates the application of AASB 10 and prescribes requirements for separate financial statements of the parent entity. On adoption of AASB 10, the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests related to investments in businesses that are now assessed as being controlled by the Group, and were therefore not previously consolidated, are measured as if the investee had been consolidated (and therefore applied acquisition accounting in accordance with AASB 3: Business Combinations) from the date when the Group obtained control of that investee on the basis of the requirements in AASB 10.

 

Upon the initial application of AASB 10, retrospective restatement of financial statement amounts of the year that immediately precedes the date of initial application (ie 2012) is necessary. When control is considered to have been obtained earlier than the beginning of the immediately preceding year (ie pre-1 January 2012), any difference between the amount of assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests recognised and the previous carrying amount of the investment in that investee is recognised as an adjustment to equity as at 1 January 2012.

 

Although the first-time application of AASB 10 (together with the associated Standards) caused certain changes to the Group's accounting policy for consolidation and determining control, it did not result in any changes to the amounts reported in the Group's financial statements as the "controlled" status of the existing subsidiaries did not change, nor did it result in any new subsidiaries being included in the Group as a consequence of the revised definition. However, the revised wording of accounting policy for consolidation is set out in Note 1(c).

 

 

Other

 

Other new and amending Standards that became applicable to the Group for the first time during this half-year reporting period are as follows:

 

AASB 2012-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and AASB 2012-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle.

These Standards make changes to presentation and disclosure requirements, but did not affect the Group's accounting policies or the amounts reported in the financial statements.

AASB 119: Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011).

These Standards did not affect the Group's accounting policies or the amounts reported in the financial statements, mainly because the Group does not have defined benefit plan assets or obligations.

 

 

(c) Principles of Consolidation

 

The parent entity and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Group". The parent of this Group is Vmoto Limited. Entities over which the parent (or the Group) directly or indirectly exercises control are called "subsidiaries". The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

 

The assets, liabilities and results of subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group companies are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

4. SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The continuing operations of the Consolidated Entity are predominantly in the two wheel vehicle including electric and petrol two wheel vehicles manufacture and distribution industry. In prior years, reported segments were based on the geographical segments of the Consolidated Entity, being Australia, Spain and China. The assessment of identifiable segments has changed in the current period due to relocation of Vmoto's after sales service and marketing centre for Europe from Spain to Germany. The management accounts and forecasts submitted to the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance are split into these components.

 

The two wheel vehicles segment is managed on a worldwide basis, but operates in three principal geographical areas: Australia, China and Germany. In China, manufacturing facilities are operated in Nanjing. In Germany, the after sales service and marketing centre are operated in Bremen, Germany. The following table presents revenue and loss in relation to geographical segments for the half year periods ended 30 June 2013 and 31 December 2012:
