27 June 2016

 

Lead All (AIM: LEAL), the AIM listed investing company, is pleased to announce the financial results for the period ended 31 December 2015.

 

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

Our shareholders are aware that your Board of Directors have actively pursued possible acquisitions and have had detailed discussions with both public and private companies in Malaysia and elsewhere that for a variety of reasons mainly relating to due diligence issues prevented us from reaching a successful conclusion.

While we continue to evaluate opportunities your Board is mindful of the slow progress to date in your company's development. Accordingly we have sought the appointment of Mr Mehmet Ahmed to the post of Finance Director and we are very pleased to be able to announce to our shareholders that Mehmet has accepted. Mehmet brings very considerable financial expertise and experience to his new role with us and we believe that in the future it will benefit your directors in terms of his guidance and the benefit of his past record and provide added focus in our aim of seeking profitable opportunities for the advantage of our shareholders.

During the financial year the Company raised £750,000 through the issue of 150,000,000 ordinary shares at 0.5 pence per share for additional working capital.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Board Director, Mr Geoffrey Fielding, and our financial adviser, Dato 'Sri Dr. Alex Teh Chee Teong for their ongoing advice over the past year and at the same time I would like to express my appreciation for the hard and diligent work performed by our staff in their everyday duties on behalf of your company.

I remain confident as to our progress in the future.

INVESTMENT POLICY

 

The Company's objective is to generate an attractive rate of return for Shareholders, predominantly through capital appreciation, by taking advantage of opportunities to invest in businesses focusing on the use of Multi Level Marketing ("MLM") strategies.

 

The Company aims to provide equity and equity-related investment capital, such as convertible loans, to companies which are seeking capital for growth and development, consolidation or acquisition, or as a pre-IPO round of financing. The Company's equity interest in a proposed investment may range from a minority position to 100 per cent ownership, as set out below. The proposed investments are likely to be unquoted in the majority of cases, but may include publicly traded securities. These investments may be made in combination with additional debt or equity-related financing and, in appropriate circumstances, in collaboration with other financial and/or strategic investors. It is likely that a substantial portion of the Company's financial resources will be invested in building a broad portfolio of assets through smaller investments.

 

The Company intends to be an involved and active investor. Accordingly, where necessary, the Company may seek participation in the day to day management through board representation, with a view to seeking to improve the performance and growth of the business.

 

The Company intends to focus on the Asia Pacific region. It will however consider any geographical area, to the extent that the investment fits within the Company's investment criteria.

 

Private Companies

The Company will aim to invest primarily in private companies with high growth potential, where a timely investment will allow the company to increase market share and create long-term shareholder value. It is envisaged that, in relation to an investment in a private company prior to that company listing on a stock market, the Company would retain a part of its investment in the listed entity going forward. The Company intends to work closely with the management of each investee company to create value by focusing on driving growth through revenue creation, margin enhancement and extracting cost efficiencies, as well as by creating appropriate capital structures to enhance returns.

 

The Company will target small and mid-sized companies and will seek to secure at least 'blocking minority' stakes (usually around 25 per cent) and board representation, where it considers that the Company and/or an investee company would benefit from such an appointment. The Company will consider making equity investments in lower than blocking minority stakes only where it sees ways to increase the stakes to blocking or controlling stakes at a later date. Each investment is expected to be in the region of US$250,000 (£155,000).

 

Public Companies

In addition, the Company may also invest in companies which have securities listed on a stock exchange or over-the-counter market.

 

When investing in publicly quoted companies, the Company will seek to select companies with a strong market position or strong growth potential in their respective segments. No restrictions will be placed on the size of public companies in which the Company may make an investment. The Directors intend to make investments in companies or businesses with attractive valuations and growth potential, with competent and motivated management, which enjoy brand recognition, have scalable business models, have strong relationships with customers and which have in place transparent and recognized accounting policies and good corporate governance practices.

 

 

 

 

INVESTMENT POLICY continued

 

Realisation of Returns

 

For private investee companies the Company believes that its typical investment holding period should provide sufficient time for investee companies to adequately benefit from the capital and operational improvements resulting from the Company's investment. The targeted holding period shall be reviewed on a regular basis by the Company, but it is expected that this will typically be between two and four years.

 

For publicly quoted investee companies the objective is to maximize capital appreciation without any generally expected investment period. Following the acquisition, the Company will monitor the investment closely. Importance will be placed on the timing of any disposal which will follow a thorough review of market conditions and those reports and sources that are available to investors. Should the Company consider that the capital appreciation of a particular public equity investment has reached its peak or is likely to or has begun to decline, then the Company will consider the sale of that investment.

 

Generally, the Directors will keep under review how best to realize value for Shareholders, whether through a trade sale, flotation or secondary refinancing of the investee companies. The proposed exit route will form a key consideration of the initial investment analysis.

 

It should be noted that the nature of the Company's activities is speculative and, being dependant on specific investment opportunities, uncertain. Accordingly, an investment in the ordinary shares is designed only for investors who understand such risks and uncertainties, and who can afford to bear the loss of their individual investment.

 

Given the nature of the Company's Investing Policy, the Company will not make regular periodic disclaimers, notifications, or calculations of Net Asset Value.

 

 

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

 

Principles of Corporate Governance

As a Company traded on AIM, the Company is not governed by the UK Code of Corporate Governance adopted by the London Stock Exchange ("the Code") but is required to operate principles of good governance and best practice. Accordingly, the Directors are committed to principles of good governance and believe that an effective system of corporate governance supports the enhancement of shareholder value. These principles have been in place since the Company's admission to trading on AIM.

 

The Directors acknowledge the importance of the Code and to apply its principles so far as is practicable taking into account the Company's size and stage of development. The Company has one non-executive Director.

 

The Directors have established an Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") and a Remuneration Committee (the "Remuneration Committee") with formally delegated duties and responsibilities to operate which have been in effect from Admission.

 

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee, which was established on Admission, comprises Geoffrey Baillie Fielding as Chairman, as well as Ahmad Nasri Bin Abdul Rahim, will determine and examine any matters relating to the financial affairs of the Company including the terms of engagement of the Company's auditor and, in consultation with the auditor, the scope of the audit. The Audit Committee will receive and review reports from the management and the external auditor of the Company relating to the annual and interim accounts and the accounting and internal control systems of the Company. In addition, it will consider the financial performance, position and prospects of the Company and ensure they are properly monitored and reported on.

 

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on the Company's framework of Executive remuneration and its cost. The Committee determines the contract terms, remuneration and other benefits for the Executive Director and senior employees, including performance related bonus schemes, pension rights and compensation payments.

 

The Remuneration Committee, which comprises Geoffrey Baillie Fielding and Ahmad Nasri Bin Abdul Rahim with Geoffrey Baillie Fielding acting as Chairman, will review the performance of the Executive Director and senior management and set and review their remuneration and the terms of their service contracts, determines the payment of bonuses to the Executive Director and considers the Company's bonus and option schemes.

 

The Board

The Board is responsible to shareholders for the proper management of the Company. The Non-Executive Director has a particular responsibility to ensure that the strategies proposed by the Executive Director are fully considered. The Board has a formal schedule of matters reserved to it and has discussions on a regular basis. The Board is responsible for overall strategy, reviewing management accounts, approval of major capital expenditure projects and consideration of significant financing matters.

 

Directors

During the year, the Board comprised the Executive Director and Chairman, Ahmad Nasri Bin Abdul Rahim, and Independent Non-Executive Director, Geoffrey Baillie Fielding. Subsequent to the year end an Executive Finance Director, Mehmet Ertan Ahmed, was appointed.

 

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT continued

 

Internal control

The Directors are responsible for the Company's system of internal controls and reviewing its effectiveness. The Board has designed the Company's system of internal controls in order to provide the Directors with reasonable assurance that its assets are safeguarded, that transactions are authorised and properly recorded and that material errors and irregularities are either prevented or would be detected within a timely period. However, no system of internal controls can eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives or provide absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

 

The key elements of the control systems in operation are:

 

· The Board meets regularly with a formal schedule of matters referred to it for decision;

· It has put in place an organizational structure with clear lines of responsibility and with appropriate delegation of authority;

· Established procedures for the planning, approval and monitoring of capital expenditure and information systems.

 

Relations with shareholders

The Board attaches great importance to maintain a good relationship with shareholders. The Board regards the annual general meeting as a good opportunity to communicate directly with investors who are encouraged to make inquiries to officers of the Company.

 

 

 

 

DIRECTORS' REPORT

 

The Directors present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.

 

Principal activity

The principal activity of the Company is to identify and acquire or invest in, and dispose of businesses focusing on the use of multiple distribution strategies for the distribution of their goods and services.

 

The Company's Investing Policy is set out in full on pages 5-6.

 

Review of business

The Company was incorporated on 13 July 2011. The Company was successfully admitted to trading on AIM on 8 February 2012.

 

The Company aims to use the capital to invest in ventures which the Board believes will present good return to shareholders, in accordance with the Company's investing policy. Further details can be found in the Chairman's Statement on page 4.

 

Cash resources

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the financial year were £5,000 (2014: £159,000). The Company also had a fixed deposit of £2.3 million at the year end and funds due to it from the share issue carried out in December 2015 of £599,000 net of expenses.

 

Debt

The Company currently has no debt and although the Board does not intend to use borrowings to fund investments or early stage assets, debt may be raised in the future to fund the development of such assets. In any event, there remains a risk that bank finance will not be available and, accordingly, alternative sources of finance may be needed.

 

International Financial Reporting Standards

The financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 have been prepared by using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), as adopted by the European Union.

 

Results and dividends

The reported loss for the year is £66,000 (2014: £234,000) and represents administrative and salary costs.

 

Further details are set out in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and note 3 to the financial statements.

 

No dividend has been paid or proposed for the year.

 

Going concern

The Directors believe it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as there are adequate financial resources within the Company to continue its operational activities for the foreseeable future. The Company can withdraw the fixed deposit placement within the next twelve months for investments and working capital if the need arises. The decision to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements has been reached after reviewing the performance of the business, the principal risks & uncertainties, the annual forecast and business plan.

Key personnel

The Company is reliant on being able to attract and retain people with the appropriate skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DIRECTORS' REPORT continued

 

Risks associated with newly incorporated investing companies

The Company has not yet made any substantial investments and has no operating history upon which to evaluate its likely performance. The Company's ability to implement its Investing Policy and achieve its desired returns will be limited by its ability to identify and acquire suitable investments. The Company's initial and future investments may be delayed or made at a relatively slow rate because, among other things:

● the Company intends to conduct detailed due diligence prior to approving investments;

● the Company may conduct extensive negotiations in order to secure and facilitate an investment;

● certain structures may need to be established in order to facilitate an investment; and

● the Company may need to raise further capital to make investments and/or fund the assets or businesses in which it has invested.

 

Policy on financial instruments

The Company's financial instruments comprise cash, fixed deposits, short-term receivables and payables arising from its operations. The Company has not established a formal policy on the use of financial instruments but assesses the risks faced by the Company as economic conditions and the Company's operations develop. Further information on financial risk management and related policies are contained in Note 15 to these financial statements.

 

Supplier payment policy

It is the Company's policy to agree and clearly communicate the terms of payment as part of the commercial arrangement negotiated with suppliers and then to pay in accordance with those terms based upon the timely receipt of an accurate invoice. There are no trade payables as at 31 December 2015.

 

Political and charitable donations

During the period the Company has made no political or charitable donations.

 

Subsequent events

There were no material events subsequent to the end of the year under review.

 

Auditors

A resolution to re-appoint UHY Hacker Young LLP as the Company's auditors will be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

 

Approved by the Board and signed on behalf of the Board.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT

 

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

 

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:

• make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Company's website in accordance with Rule 26 of the AIM Rules for Companies and accordingly the Auditors accept no responsibility for the information published thereon.

 

Information published on the Company's website is accessible in many countries and legislation in Cayman Islands concerning the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

 

Statement of disclosure to auditor

The Directors have confirmed that:

· so far as each Director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditor is unaware; and

 

· each Director has taken all the necessary steps he ought to have taken as a Director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditor is aware of that information.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 31 December 2015

 

 

1 General information

 

Lead All Investments Limited (the "Company") is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands under the Companies Law 2011 (as amended) of the Cayman Islands on 13 July 2011. The Company is governed by its articles of association and the principal statute governing the Company is Cayman Island law. The Company is domiciled and has its registered office in Cayman Islands and the Company's registration number is WK-259337.

 

The Company's place of business is Malaysia.

 

These financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling ("£"), this being the Company's functional and presentational currency, and rounded to the nearest thousand ("000"). The functional currency of the Company is the Pound Sterling ("£") because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company raises funds.

 

Financial statements of the Company are prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and their interpretations issued or adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board, as adopted by the European Union ("IFRSs"). The Company's accounting reference date is 31 December.

 

These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 27 June 2016.

 

 

2 Summary of significant accounting policies

 

2.1 Basis of preparation

The principal accounting policies applied by the Company in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below and have been applied consistently.

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with IFRS.

 

2.2 Going concern

The financial statements of the Company are prepared on a going concern basis. The Company raises finance for its investment activities focusing on the use of multiple distribution strategies for the distribution of their goods and services, especially in the Asia Pacific region.

 

The Directors are of the opinion that the Company will have sufficient cash to fund its activities based on forecast cash flow information for a period in excess of twelve months from the date of these financial statements' approval. Management continues to monitor all working capital commitments and balances on a weekly basis and believe that they have access to appropriate levels of financing for the Company to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least the next twelve months and is trading as a going concern.

 

Lead All Investments Limited

(Company No. WK259337)

(Incorporated in Cayman Islands)

 

 

2.2 Going concern (continued)

The Company can withdraw the fixed deposit placement within the next twelve months for investments and working capital if the need arises. The decision to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements has been reached after reviewing the performance of the business, the principal risks & uncertainties, the annual forecast and business plan.

 

2.3 Segmental reporting

For the purposes of IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' the Company currently has one segment, being investing in the Multi-level Marketing (MLM) sector. No further operating segment financial information is therefore disclosed.

 

2.4 Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentational currency

Items included in the financial statements of the entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity raises funds (the "functional currency"). The functional currency of the entity is Pounds Sterling ("£").

 

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

2.5 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents (readily convertible into a known amount of cash) include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents are as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Fixed deposits are shown separately on the statement of financial position as they do not meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents.

 

2.6 Loans and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value, which is usually the original invoiced amount plus transaction costs, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less provisions made for impairment of receivables.

 

2.7 Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value, which is usually the original invoiced amount, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 

2.8 Taxation

Deferred tax is provided in full using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or when the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

2.9 Equity instruments

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.

 

2.10 Share-based payments

The fair value of options and warrants granted is recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the holders become unconditionally entitled to the options and warrants. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options and warrants that vest.

 

For equity settled share-based payment transactions other than transactions with employees the Company measures the goods or services received at their fair value, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If this is the case the Company measures their fair values and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of equity instruments granted. Fair value is measured by use of an appropriate model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Lead All Investments Limited. The charge is adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the actual number of forfeitures and cancellations during the period. The movement in cumulative charges since the previous balance sheet is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding entry in equity.

 

2.11 Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

Certain changes to IFRS will be applicable for the Company's financial statements in future periods. To the extent that the Company has not adopted these early in the current financial statements, they will not affect the Company's reported profit or equity but they may affect disclosures. As at the date of approval of these financial statements, the following standards and interpretations were in issue but not yet effective:

 

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments

IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers

 

Numerous other minor amendments to standards have been made as a result of the IASB's annual improvement project.

 

2.12 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, rarely equal the related actual results. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 

 

The estimates significant to the financial statements during the year and at the year end are the consideration of impairment of financial assets and share based payment calculation, as set out in the relevant accounting policy.

Changes in share capital in 2015

During December 2015, the shareholders of the Company voted in an EGM for the sub-division of ordinary shares of 1p each into ordinary shares of 0.5p each.

 

On 30 December 2015 the Company issued 150,000,000 new shares of 0.5p each for a total consideration of £750,000. The funds raised were held in escrow by the Company's lawyers at the year-end and are therefore included in 'other receivables' in the Statement of Financial Position.

 

Share warrants

On 30 January 2012, the Company entered into a deed of warrant with two parties, conditional upon Admission, to subscribe for 5% and 3% respectively, of the aggregate value of the Exercise Price of all new shares subscribed by investors on the Placing of shares. The shares are exercisable at any time up to five years from the date of Admission at the Placing price of £0.10. These shares were granted for services rendered relating to the Placing of shares on AIM.

 

Using the Black Scholes method, the fair value of these options was calculated to be £105,360 and the charge was shown as a deduction from the proceeds of the share issue in 2012.

15 Financial risk management

The Company's activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate risk, currency risk and commodity price risk). The Company's overall risk management strategy seeks to minimize adverse effects from the volatility of financial markets on the Company's financial performance.

 

The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the objectives and underlying principles of financial risk management for the Company. The Company management then establishes the detailed policies such as risk identification and measurement, exposure limits and hedging strategies, in accordance with the objectives and underlying principles approved by the Board of Directors.

 

There has been no change to the Company's exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk. Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis indicated below.

 

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company performs on going credit evaluation of its counterparties' financial condition. The Company does not hold any collateral as security over its customers. The Company's major classes of financial assets are loans made to third parties and cash and cash equivalents.

 

As at the end of the financial period, the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial asset recognised in the statements of financial position.

 

As at 31 December 2015, substantially all the cash and bank balances as detailed in note 8 and 9 to the financial statements, are held in major financial institutions which are regulated and located in Hong Kong, which management believes are of high credit quality. Management does not expect any losses arising from non-performance by these counterparties.

 

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date of the Company is as follows:

15 Financial risk management (continued)

 

Currency risk

Currency risk arises from a change in foreign currency exchange rate, which is expected to have an adverse effect on the Company in the current reporting period and in future years.

 

The Company maintains its books and accounts in its functional currency. As a result, the Company is subject to transaction and translation exposures resulting from currency exchange rate fluctuations. However, to minimise such foreign currency exposures, the Company uses natural hedges between sales receipts and purchases, and operating expenses disbursement. It is, and has been throughout the current financial period the Company's policy that no derivatives shall be undertaken except for the use as hedging instruments where appropriate and cost-efficient. The Company does not apply hedge accounting.

 

The Company incurs foreign currency risk on sales, purchases and operating expenses that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.

 

The Company's currency exposure is as follows:

2015

2014

£'000

£'000

Financial assets

Bank balances denominated in Hong Kong Dollars (HK$)

Bank balances denominated in Ringgit Malaysia (MYR)

155

Net currency exposure

2

156

 

 

Interest rate risk

The Company monitors the interest rates on its interest bearing assets closely to ensure favourable rates are secured.

 

As at the year end, the Company's only interest-bearing assets relate to bank balances held. A change in interest rates at the reporting date would not materially affect profit or loss and as such sensitivity analysis have not been disclosed.

 

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to lack of funds. The Company's exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through financial support of shareholders and secures committed funding facilities from financial institution.
