ORIENT TELECOMS PLC
INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months period ended
30 September 2022
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENTS
I have pleasure in presenting the interim financial statements of Orient
Telecoms Plc and its subsidiary undertaking (the "Group") for the six months
ended 30 September 2022.
During the financial period, the Group reported a net loss of £30,681 (0.31
pence loss per share).
The Group operates as a fully managed overlay network service provider in the
South East Asia Region, which significantly reduces the need for heavy
investment towards building its own network infrastructure compared to other
traditional telecommunication companies. In the past six (6) months, the
company has seen a lot of excitement about the present and future roll out the
5G infra structure and services throughout the region by almost all cellular
telecommunication operators. Accordingly, the Board believes that there may be
business opportunities for the Company to expand its managed services products
in line with the greater adoption of 5G network infrastructure.
There has been an increasing demand for larger bandwidth by these cellular
operators for bandwidth hungry applications. This opens up opportunities for
the Company to offer fully managed solutions which can ensure any cellular
operators or businesses are focused on their respective core businesses while
the Group (as a managed service provider) can take care of their respective
connectivity and IT needs. The Group is focused on promoting and enhancing its
managed services portfolio in the South East Asia region.
The Group has been continuously working to enhance its product and managed
services offerings while its technology team focused on creating a customised
operating system which will help manage the services for customers in a more
efficient and productive manner.
The Group has also started exploring Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven
applications as additional service offering to its current managed services.
The Group has also initiated discussions with some potential partners for its
intended AI development projects.
During the reporting period the Group remained focus on its marketing drive
including on digital marketing initiatives, as well as increasing the number
of sales personnel to reach out to as many customers as possible.
Operations teams remains committed in delivering services based on customer's
requirements while maintaining support to its customers to ensure the quality
of service offered meets customer's expectations.
Based on its current and forecasted performance the Group foresees a
meaningful financial year ending in March 2023.

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 International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the

Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). The auditors' report

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 its targeted
immunization and with the easing of restriction businesses are moving towards
normalisation. Hence, the Board sees significant 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 next 24 months
even if there is no new business or Pandemic situation gets worsen. 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 2022 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 2022.
4. REVENUE

for communication services. Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the
economic benefits associated with a transaction will flow to the Company and
the amount of revenue and associated costs can be measured reliably and over
the period to which the charges relate.
