CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

For the six months ended 30 June 2020

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have pleasure in presenting the consolidated interim financial statements of Vertu Capital Limited (the Company) and its subsidiary (collectively referred as the "Group") for the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020.

 

During the financial period, the Group reported a net loss of £52,536 (0.04p per share). As at 30 June 2020, the Group had cash in bank balance of £253,689.

 

In the last six months, the Company could not explore any opportunities owing to the adverse economic condition arising from the Covid-19 pandemic that affected the global economy. However the board has been in discussion with several potential acquisition targets but all are in early stage of discussion. The Company remain actively looking to identify other suitable target companies or businesses.

 

I look forward to seeing better progress with the potential target acquisitions in the next few months with gratitude to our shareholders, for their continued support.

The main expense for the Group is its legal and professional costs. The management intends to monitor and control this to be cost efficient and minimise its net loss before a suitable acquisition.

 

The COVID-19 outbreak has not had a significant impact to the Group's position to date. The evolution of this pandemic is closely being monitored, including how it may affect the Group, the economy and the general population.

 

The Board looks forward to providing further updates to shareholders in due course and actively reviewed a number of potential acquisition opportunities across the sector, none of which has met the necessary criteria for selection.

2.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of preparation

 

The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months period ended 30 June 2020 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. It is unaudited and does not constitute statutory financial statements. The comparative interim financial information covers the period ended 30 June 2019.

 

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with, and on the basis of, the accounting policies set out in the audited financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union.

 

The consolidated interim financial statements are presented in British Pound Sterling ("£").

 

Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs")

 

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective and in some cases have not yet been adopted by the EU.

 

At the date of authorisation of this report, the Directors have reviewed the standards in issue by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and IFRIC, which are effective for accounting periods ending on or after the stated effective date. In their view, none of these standards would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group for being non-trading group.

 

Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company 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.

 

All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in consolidation

 

 

 

 

Going concern

 

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future.

 

The Group had cash balance of £250,000, which the Directors believe will be sufficient to pay ongoing expenses and pre-acquisition activities and to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of this report.

 

The Covid-19 outbreak has not had a significant impact to the Group's matters to date. The directors will continue to monitor and assess the ongoing development and respond accordingly.

 

 

3.   INCOME TAX EXPENSE
