ORIENT TELECOMS PLC
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 September 2020
Director's Statement
I have pleasure in presenting the interim financial statements of Orient
Telecoms Plc and its subsidiary (the "Group") for the six months ended 30
September 2021.
During the financial period, the Group reported a net profit of £44,804
(0.045 pence profit per share).
The Group operates as a fully managed overlay network service provider in the
South East Asia Region, which makes it very light weight and thus not
requiring heavy investment towards building the network infrastructure. In the
past six (6) months, especially in Malaysia, the Group has seen an increasing
approach towards rolling out 5G network as quickly as possible. With this new
development the Board believes there will be fairly large opportunities to
expand its own product called "OfficeMate" throughout Malaysia.
There has been an increasing demand for bigger bandwidth and managed
connectivity solutions in the region, hence the Group is very much focused on
increasing its sales and reach in various countries through its strong
partnership with the infrastructure owners.
The Group has been continuously working to enhance its own Product and Managed
Services offerings. The Technology team is focused on creating a customised
operating system which will help us manage the services for customers in a
much more efficient and productive way. This project is expected to be
completed by the fourth (4) quarter of 2022.
Despite the challenges brought on by the Covid pandemic, the Group have shown
positive results due to its aggressive sales and marketing activities. And
with mass immunisation programs initiated by the Governments which have
contributed to the declining number of covid cases worldwide, we expect the
coming years to be less challenging and more fruitful.
The Group have engaged new partners and network owners to negotiate better
rates, which the Board believes will have a positive effect on the Group's
pricing and gross margin levels. The market remains competitive and requires
continuous effort to engage customers effectively and to introduce new
services or features into its offerings
The Group's entire operational team remains dedicated and committed towards
this goal which we plan to achieve through hard work and unwavering commitment
in the face of the forthcoming challenges.
Withthe emergence of new variants of the covid, the effect of which we are
unable to quantify at the present moment, but we believe that, with our
perseverance and unrelenting commitment we will be able to overcome those
challenges
During the AGM 2021, one of the non-executive directors was not re-elected.
The Board considers that the current composition of the board, which comprise
a CEO, a non-executive Chairman and a not-executive director, is adequate
given the size of the Company.
Responsibility Statement
The Directors are responsible for preparing the interim financial statements
in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ('DTR') and with International
Accounting Standard 34 on Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by United
Kingdom (IAS 34).
The Directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, the interim
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The interim
financial statements include a fair review of the information required by DTR
4.2.7 and DTR 4.2.8, namely:
· an indication of important events that have occurred during the
first six months and their impact on the interim financial statements, and a
description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six
months of the financial period; and
· material related-party transactions in the first six months and any
material changes in the related-party transactions described in the last
annual report.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated in England and Wales on 26 February 2016, as a
public company limited by shares under the Act. The principal legislation
under which the Company operates is the Act. The registered office of the
Company is at the offices of London Registrar, Suite A, 6 Honduras St, London
EC1Y 0TH United Kingdom.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The condensed financial information for the period ended 30 September 2021 and
30 September 2020 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim
Financial Reporting. The condensed financial information is unaudited and does
not constitute statutory financial statements. The comparative interim
financial information covers the period from 1 April 2020 to 30 September
2020.
The principal accounting policies used in preparing the interim financial
statements are the same as those applied in the Company's financial statements
as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021, which have been prepared in
accordance with the International Accounting Standards in conformity with the
requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in
the European Union ("IFRS"). The auditors' report on those accounts was
unqualified and unmodified.
The condensed financial information is presented in British Pound Sterling
("£").
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2021
was approved by the Directors on 22 December 2021.
Going concern
These interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis.
The COVID-19 pandemic lock downs in Malaysia which was implemented in March
2020 have since been removed as the country have reached herd immunity and
with the easing of restriction businesses are moving towards normalisation.
Hence, opening up more opportunities for businesses.
The company is already in an active discussion with some of the potential
clients to secure new business in the forthcoming year.
The Company has enough cash balances to run its operations for the next 24
months.. The Company also relies heavily on outsourcing companies to perform
its international service maintenance which helps the company to manage its
cashflows better and also keep the lowest possible headcount on the payroll.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of unaudited interim financial statements requires management
to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income
and expenses for the current and its corresponding financial period under
review. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing the unaudited interim financial statements, the significant
judgements made by the management in applying the Company's accounting
policies and the sources of estimates uncertainty were consistent as those
applied to the 2021 Audited Financial Statements.
There were no changes in estimates of amounts of the Company that may have a
material effect on financial period ended 30 September 2021.

Unaudited Audited
Revenue 404,614 807,133
404,614 807,133
Revenue is recognised either when the performance obligation in the contract
have been performed (so "point in time" recognition) or "overtime" as control
of the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Revenue
represents rendered managed telecommunication services to the customers, the
end users, which is recognised over the period of time when the services is
performed.
Invoicing and payment terms are generally monthly in advance except for a
single customer who has been granted extended timeframe for settlement. A
contract liability represents the obligation of the Group to render services
to a customer for which consideration has been received (or the amount is due)
from the customer
In addition, under contract with customer, the customer is also entitled to
claim rebates if the service performed / downtime is more that the allowed
hours in any given month. The Group has implemented an open source fully
customised Network Performance Monitoring system, which can provide an
in-depth view of performance by customer. Due to the high level of service
provided under each contract with a customer, the Group has no history of
having to provide rebates. On that basis, the variable consideration was
considered as remote.
Revenue is derived substantially from Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
Revenue excludes value added tax and other sales taxes.
5. PROFIT PER SHARE
Basic profit per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the profit
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.
