Chairman's Report

Vox Valor Capital Limited ("Vox Valor" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that its audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 have been published and are available on its website at www.voxvalor.com/investors.

The Vox Valor Group ("Vox Valor Group" or "the Group") is active in providing mobile marketing and advertising related services and these are conducted through its 100% owned UK operating subsidiary Mobio Global Limited ("Mobio Global"). Mobio Global has two operating subsidiaries in the United States and Singapore. The Group employs 30 contractors and employees in total across its subsidiaries.

The Group was formed in 2022 upon the reverse takeover ("RTO") of Vox Capital Limited, a company that acquired Mobio in 2020 as part of its strategy to grow its mobile marketing and advertising technology service and product offering and to grow Mobio into the European and American markets. Prior to the completion of the RTO, Mobio Global divested its Russian operations and management increased its efforts to grow Mobio in the UK, the European Union and North America.

Vox Valor is continuously evaluating potential acquisition opportunities to acquire mobile or digital content businesses, such as mobile game or application developers or publishers in order to extract operational synergies from being vertically integrated in owning mobile/digital content business and the Mobio digital marketing and advertising services and technology offering.

This strategy is based on leveraging Mobio's experience in mobile marketing with the need of mobile content businesses, such as mobile game and app developers, to acquire new users for their games and apps. The Company will make further announcement as and when any acquisition opportunities, which are being analysed, are closed.

Through Mobio, the Vox Valor Group provides a wide range of mobile marketing services, including user acquisition services, app store optimisation services, mobile retargeting, digital strategy consulting services, marketing creatives, video production services and in app advertising services.

These services are instrumental for clients to acquire new users, control their mobile marketing spend or 'cost per install' and scale the user base and revenue of their mobile games or applications.

Mobio has very significant experience in providing user acquisitions services by developing and executing mobile marketing campaigns for its clients. In addition, Mobio also provides services that are complementary to its clients core mobile marketing strategies, such as app store optimisation services (which aim to improve organic user growth by optimising the presence of its clients' apps and games in the major app stores) and retargeting services (using its proprietary Feedwise platform to re-engage with app users).

Mobio complements its service offering with mobile advertising creatives and video creative productions for those clients that are not able or do not want to develop such marketing assets in-house and also offers digital marketing strategy or consulting services to some of those clients.

In 2023, Mobio implemented the Mobio Growth Lab initiative, which is a dynamic incubator that helps Mobio's client (including new or early-stage clients) to grow their install base and profit levels through a step-by-step process to support them in every stage of the product and marketing life cycle.

The Vox Valor Group is pleased to report improved and positive total comprehensive profit for the year ended 31 December 2023 of USD 469k versus a loss of USD 5.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2022. While revenue decreased from USD 13.8 million during for the year ended 31 December 2022to USD 5.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 due to the disposal of the Russian subsidiary of the Group, the Company managed to reduce the operating expenses from USD 13.8 million to USD 5.7 million.

Vox Valor announced that it had signed two term sheets for potential acquisitions during the year ended 31 December 2023, which the Company has either terminated or the term sheet expired and therefore no merger and acquisitions activities took place in 2023. The Company is continuing to identify potential acquisitions that are complimentary to the Group's strategy where it can generate meaningful synergies from its mobile marketing expertise and technology.

For the next financial year, we are looking forward to growing Vox Valor both organically and through potential acquisitions. The organic growth plans of the Group include the expansion of the Group's mobile marketing services and technology offer (Mobio) in the UK, Europe and the United States.

 

Summary of Trading Results and Outlook

For the financial year ended 31 December 2023, Vox Valor reported revenue of USD 5.6 million (versus USD 13.8 million in the previous financial period) and an operating loss of USD 90k (versus a gross profit of USD 29k in the previous financial period).

Total comprehensive income for the year was a profit of USD 469k (versus a loss of USD 5.7 million in the previous financial period), which is still mainly caused by non-recurring expenditure and accounting write-offs and impairments in relation to the reverse takeover ("RTO").

Revenue

The Group's revenue comprises primary income from the provision of mobile marketing services in 2023 and 2022. Revenue is recognized when the related services are delivered based on the specific terms of the contract. The Group uses a number of different information technology ("IT") systems to track certain actions as specified in customer contracts. The calculation of charges for mobile marketing services is carried out automatically by the technology platform based on pre-defined key parameters, including unit price and volume. These IT systems are complex and process large volumes of data.

Records of mobile marketing services charges are generated in an aggregated amount for each category and are manually entered into the accounting system on a monthly basis.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured based on specific contract terms and excludes amounts collected on behalf of any third parties. Revenue is recognized when control over service is transferred to a customer.

The following is a description of principal activities from which the Group generates its revenue.

Revenue from mobile advertising services

Revenue from mobile marketing services primarily includes the income generated as a result of providing mobile marketing services by the Group. The Group utilizes a combination of pricing models and revenue is recognized when the related services are delivered based on specific contract terms, which are commonly based on:

 a) specified actions (i.e., cost per action ("CPA") or other preferences agreed with advertisers), or

 b) agreed rebates to be earned from certain publishers.

Specified actions

Revenue is recognized on a CPA basis once agreed actions (download, activation, registration, etc.) are performed. Individually, none of the factors can considered presumptive or determinative, because the Group is the primary obligor responsible for (1) identifying and contracting third-party advertisers considered as customers by the Group; (2) identifying mobile publishers to provide mobile spaces where mobile publishers are considered as suppliers; (3) establishing prices under the CPA model; (4) performing all billing and collection activities, including retaining credit risk; and (5) bearing sole responsibility for the fulfillment of advertising services, the Group acts as the principal of these arrangements and therefore recognizes the revenue earned and costs incurred related to these transactions on a gross basis.

Principal versus agent considerations - revenue from provision of mobile marketing services

Determining whether the Group is acting as a principal or as an agent in the provision of mobile marketing services requires judgements and considerations of all relevant facts and circumstances. The Group is a principal to a transaction if the Group obtains control over the services before they are transferred to customers. If the level of control cannot be determined, if the Group is primarily obligated in a transaction, has latitude to establish prices and select publishers, or several but not all of these factors are present, the Group records revenues on a gross basis. Otherwise, the Group records the net amount earned as commissions from services provided.

Segment reporting

In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Management (chief operating decision maker) for the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has one reportable segment, which is Mobile marketing business.

Mobile marketing business: this segment delivers mobile advertising services to customers globally through a Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") programmatic advertising platform, top media and affiliate ad-serving platform.

No segment assets and liabilities information are provided as no such information is regularly provided to the Management for the purpose of decision-making, resources allocation, and performance assessment.

Revenue may be disaggregated by timing of revenue recognition:

-       Point in time, and

-       Over time.

Notes #1 specifies information about the geographical location of the Group's revenue from external customers. The geographical location of customers is based on the location of the customers' headquarters.

Cost of sales (operating expenses)

Cost of sales represents the direct expenses that are attributable to the services delivered. They consist primarily of payments to platforms and publishers under the terms of the revenue agreements. The cost of sales can include commissions where applicable.

Financial instruments

The Group classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability, or an equity instrument in accordance with the terms of the contractual arrangement. Financial instruments are recognised on trade date when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument. Financial instruments are derecognised on the trade date when the Group is no longer a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any expected credit losses in the case of trade receivables. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Interest-bearing borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised costs using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Other financial commitments

Financial commitments that are not held for trading purpose are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Goodwill and Other Purchased Intangibles

Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase price and acquisition costs over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired, and other purchased intangibles.

The Group annually reviews the recoverability of all long-term assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. The Group determines whether there has been an impairment by comparing the anticipated discounted future net cash flows to the related asset's carrying value. If an asset is considered impaired, the asset is written down to fair value which is either determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset.

Other purchased intangibles assessment

The Group annually reviews the recoverability of all long-term assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. The Group determines whether there has been an impairment by comparing the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to the related asset's carrying value. If an asset is considered impaired, the asset is written down to fair value which is either determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset.

Intangible fixed assets

Concessions, Intellectual Property and Licenses are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation.

Amortisation is recognized in the income statements on a straight-line over the estimated useful life as follows:

·      Trademarks - 10 years.

·      Licenses - validity period.

·      Programs - 5 years.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at their historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized in the income statement in a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each item of tangible fixed assets. The minimum cost to recognize an object as a fixed asset is 3,000 USD. The annual depreciation rates applied are:

·      Technical and office equipment, computers - 3 years.

Leases

All leases are accounted for by recognising a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for:

·      Leases of low value assets; and

·      Leases with a duration of twelve months or less.

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by reference to the rate inherent in the lease unless (as is typically the case) this is not readily determinable, in which case the Group's incremental borrowing rate placed at the official site of the Bank of England.

Variable lease payments are only included in the measurement of the lease liability if they depend on an index or on market rate. In such cases, the initial measurement of the lease liability assumes the variable element will remain unchanged throughout the lease term. Other variable lease payments are expensed in the period to which they relate.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for:

·      Lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease.

·      Initial direct costs incurred; and

·      The amount of any provision recognised where the Group is contractually required to dismantle, remove, or restore the leased asset (typically leasehold dilapidations).

Subsequent to initial measurement lease liabilities increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made. Right-of-use assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease or over the remaining economic life of the asset if, rarely, this is judged to be shorter than the lease term. When the Group revises its estimate of the term of any lease (because, for example, it re-assesses the probability of a lessee extension or termination option being exercised), it adjusts the carrying amount of the lease liability to reflect the payments to be made over the revised term, which are discounted at the same discount rate that applied on lease commencement. The carrying value of lease liabilities is similarly revised when the variable element of future lease payments dependent on a rate or index is revised. In both cases an equivalent adjustment is made to the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, with the revised carrying amount being amortised over the remaining (revised) lease term.

 

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Group would recognise the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Receivables

Upon initial recognition the receivables are included at fair value and then valued at amortised cost. The fair value and amortised cost equal the face value. Any provision for doubtful accounts deemed necessary is deducted. These provisions are determined by individual assessment of the receivables. All receivables are due within one year.

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose only on the cash flow statement.

The cash flow statement from operating activities is reported using the indirect method.

Provisions

These are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation, using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Deferred taxes

A deferred tax liability / asset is recognized for any differences in commercial and fiscal valuation of the Group's assets and liabilities.

Taxation

Current tax is the tax currently payable based on the taxable profit for the year.

The Group recognises current tax assets and liabilities of entities in different jurisdictions separately as there is no legal right of offset. Deferred tax is provided in full on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases, except when, at the initial recognition of the asset or liability, there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss under a business combination. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date, and that are expected to apply when the temporary difference reverses.

Tax losses available to be carried forward, and other tax credits to the Group, are recognised as deferred tax assets, to the extent that it is probable that there will be future taxable profits against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of the tax expense in the statement of comprehensive income, except where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. Cost of inventory is determined on the weighted average cost basis.

Financial income and expenses

Financing income includes forex exchange and financial expenses include bank fee.

Possible impact of amendments, new standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the accounting period beginning on 31 December 2023

Up to date of issue of the financial statements, the IASB has issued a number of amendments and new standards, IFRS 17, Insurance contracts, which are not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2023 and which have not been adopted in these financial statements.

These developments include the following which may be relevant to the Company (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024):

- Amendments to IAS 1, Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants

- Amendments toIFRS 16, Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

- Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7, Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements

- Amendments to IAS 21, Lack of exchangeability

The Company is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments, new standards and interpretations is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of them is unlikely to have a significant impact on the financial statements.

11.  Earnings per share

 

Basic (losses)/earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

 

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. As at 31 December 2022 the Group has outstanding Warrants issued to the NED Directors (Non-executive directors) and Stonedale Management and Investments Limited Ltd (Stonedale), which when exercised will convert into Ordinary Shares. Total number of Warrants in issue is 45,833,333.

Stonedale Warrant Instrument

The Group and Stonedale entered into a warrant deed dated 30 September 2022, pursuant to which the Company had granted to Stonedale the Fee Warrants. The Fee Warrants represent 0.87 per cent of the Enlarged Ordinary Share Capital. The Fee Warrants are capable of being exercised for a price of £0.012 and for a term of three years from the date of Admission.

NED Warrant Instrument

The Group and the NED Directors entered into a warrant deed dated 30 September 2022, pursuant to which the Company had granted to NED Directors the NED Warrants. The NED Warrants represent 1.06 per cent of the Enlarged Ordinary Share Capital. The NED Warrants are capable of being exercised for a price of £0.012 and for a term of three years from the date of Admission.

During a period where the Group or Company makes a loss, accounting standards require that 'dilutive' shares for the Group be excluded in the earnings per share calculation, because they will reduce the reported loss per share; consequently, all per-share measures in the current period are based on the weighted number of ordinary shares in issue.

23.  Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks through its use of financial instruments which result from its operating activities. All the Group's financial instruments are classified trade and other receivables. The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below:

Credit risk

Generally, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of the financial assets recognised at the reporting date, as summarised below:

 

31 December 2023

 

31 December 2022

Trade receivables

1,126,412


2,917,649

Prepayments

170,105


12,446

Total

1,296,517

 

2,930,095

Credit risk is the risk of financial risk to the Group if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation. The nature of the Group's debtor balances, the time taken for payment by clients and the associated credit risk are dependent on the type of engagement.

The Group's trade and other receivables are actively monitored. The ageing profit of trade receivables is monitored regularly by Directors. Any debtors over 30 days are reviewed by Directors every month and explanations sought for any balances that have not been recovered.

Unbilled revenue is recognised by the Group only when all conditions for revenue recognition have been met in line with the Group's accounting policy.

The Directors are of the opinion that there is no material credit risk at the Group level.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the situation where the Group may encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Group seeks to manage financial risks to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet any foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably.

The tables below break down the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groups based on their contractual maturities.

The amounts disclosed in the tables below are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances, because the impact of discounting is not significant.

Interest rate risk

The Group is not exposed to material interest rate risk as its liabilities are either non-interest bearing or subject to fixed interest rates.

Foreign currency risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures. The Group monitors exchange rate movements closely and ensures adequate funds are maintained in appropriate currencies to meet known liabilities.

Reputational risks

The Management of the Group believes that at present there are no facts that could have a significant negative impact on the decrease in the number of its customers due to a negative perception of the quality of services provided, adherence to the terms of rendering services, as well as the participation of the Group in any price agreement. Accordingly, reputational risks are assessed by the Group as insignificant.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of all financial assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value.

Country risks

4 February 2022 Russia declared a war operation in Ukraine and launched full-scale military invasion., multilateral sanctions and restrictions were imposed on work with certain Russian legal entities and individuals. These circumstances caused unpredictable volatility in the stock and currency markets, in energy prices, general price level, the Bank of Russia's key interest rate and restrictions on flow of certain groups of goods. It is expected that these events may affect the business of companies in various countries and industries.

One of the Directors of the Group is a citizen of the Russian Federation. He is not subject to the sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom and other countries. Since 2 August 2022, the Group does not provide to and receive services from Russian companies.

The Management analyzes the current situation and possible solutions. At present, the duration of these events cannot be predicted and their impact on the future financial position and performance of the Group cannot be reliably assessed.

Other risks

The industry risk is currently assessed as low, and the volume of advertising on the Internet is growing. However, it should be taken into consideration that the industry is affected by changing legislation on the regulation of the advertising services provision and compliance with information security of data. Also, the Group business depends on the availability, performance and reliability of internet, mobile and other infrastructures (speed, data capacity and security) that are not under the Group control.

The Group makes every effort to comply with the requirements of the legislation and to maintenance of a reliability for providing advertising internet services.

26.  Reverse acquisition

On 30 September 2022, the Company acquired the entire issued share capital of Vox Capital Ltd and its subsidiaries, a private company incorporated in United Kingdom, by way of a share-for-share exchange. Although the transaction resulted in the Vox Capital Ltd becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the transaction constitutes a reverse acquisition in as much as the shareholders Vox Capital Ltd owned, post transaction, a majority of the issued ordinary shares of the Company.

In substance, the shareholders of the Vox Capital Ltd acquired a controlling interest in the Company and the transaction has therefore been accounted for as a reverse acquisition.

Accordingly, this reverse acquisition does not constitute a business combination and was accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based payment and IFRIC guidance, with the difference between the equity value given up by the Vox Capital Ltd shareholders and the share of the fair value of net assets gained by the Vox Capital Ltd shareholders charged to the statement of comprehensive income as the cost of acquiring an AIM quoted listing in the form of a share based payment expense.

In accordance with reverse acquisition accounting principles, these consolidated financial statements represent a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Vox Capital Ltd and include:

a. the assets and liabilities of Vox Capital Ltd at their pre-acquisition carrying amounts and the results for both periods; and

b. the assets and liabilities of the Company as at 30 September 2021 and as at 31 December 2022.

Share-base-payment components of the reverse acquisition transaction are measured under IFRS 2. Equity-settled transactions are measured at the fair value of the assets and services acquired if this fair value is reliably determinable. Fair value of The Company assets includes identifiable net assets and possibly unidentified assets or services, such as costs of listing.

The fair value of net assets of Vertu Capital Ltd at the date of acquisition was as follows:

Vox Valor Capital is committed to cutting its carbon footprint across the Group, whilst also seeking to become more energy efficient. The Company has used online video conferencing platforms throughout the pandemic and, where practicable, will continue to promote this for the majority of internal meetings to minimize travel footprint.

29.  Climate change

The Company takes into account the interconnection of climate risks with other types of risks and, on this basis, manages them as part of its overall risk management process. This analyses both transition risks (political, legal, technological, market, reputational, related to changes in demand and consumer preferences) and physical risks (related to the physical effects of climate change, natural disasters, extreme weather conditions) that may affect the company's operations. At the same time, the approach to identifying and assessing climate risks is based on the TCFD recommendations.

The Company's strategy on this issue is based on the results of a regular inventory of climate risks and their analysis, taking into account business continuity conditions and the impact on business processes for strategic and financial planning. The Company forecasts and takes into account macroeconomic and industry trends, long-term market trends and basic factors underlying the dynamics of demand, supply and demand for information products.

Based on this approach, the Company develops a Risk and Opportunity Management Program, the results of which are submitted for discussion by the Board of Directors with a regular assessment of the quality of such management

30.  Events after the reporting date

In the period between the reporting date and the date of signing the financial statements for the reporting year, there were no other facts of economic activity that could have an impact on the financial condition, cash flow or performance of the organization and which should be reflected.

Management (Directors)

Since 30 September 2022:

·      Konstantin Khomyakov

Going concern

At the reporting date, the Company had cash balance of £314.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due in the foreseeable future.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations.

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

The notes are an integral part of the financial statements.

Reporting period

These financial statements represent the financial reporting period for the Company from January 1 till December 31, 2023.

General

An asset is disclosed in the statement of financial position when it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. A liability is disclosed in the statement of financial position when it is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits and the amount of the obligations can be measured with sufficient reliability.

If a transaction results in transfer of future economic benefits and/or when all risks associated with assets or liabilities have been transferred to a third party, the asset or liability is no longer included in the statement of financial position. Assets and liabilities are not included in the statement of financial position if economic benefits are not probable or cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

The income and expenses are accounted for during the period to which they relate. Revenue is recognized when control over service is transferred to a customer.

The Management is required to form an opinion and make estimates and assumptions for assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. The actual result may differ from these estimates. The estimates and the underlying assumptions are constantly assessed. Revisions are recognised during a corresponding revision period as well as any future periods affected by the revision. The nature of these estimates and judgements, including related assumptions, is disclosed in the notes to corresponding items in the financial statement.

Investments

Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognized immediately in profit or loss (IAS 36 Impairment of Assets). Impairment losses are reflected in non-operating expenses of Statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income. Reversals of impairment losses are reflected in non-operating income.

 

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

An associate is an entity, being neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the company holds a long-term interest and where the company has significant influence. The company considers that it has significant influence where it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate.

Entities in which the company has a long-term interest and shares control under a contractual arrangement are classified as jointly controlled entities.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose only on the cash flow statement.

The cash flow statement from operating activities is reported using the indirect method.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial instruments are recognised on the statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company's business model for managing them.

The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this classification at every reporting date.

As at the reporting date, the Company did not have any financial assets subsequently measured at fair value.

Financial liabilities

Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, where applicable, using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

Taxation

The tax currently payable is based on the taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred income tax is provided for using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised in full for all temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences carried forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is assessed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred income tax asset to be recovered.

Operating segments

The operating segments identifies based on internal reporting for decision-making. The Company is operated as one business with key decisions irrespective of the geography where work for clients is carried out. The Management (chief operating decision maker) considers that The Company has one operating segment.

Standards and interpretations issued but not yet applied

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued by International Accounting Standards Board but are not yet effective and in some cases have not yet been adopted. The Directors do not expect that the adoption of these standards will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company in future periods.

7.   Financial risk management

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks through its use of financial instruments which result from its operating activities. All the Company's financial instruments are classified trade and other receivables. The Company does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes. The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are described below:

Credit risk

The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to deposits with banks. The Company manages its deposits with banks or financial institutions by monitoring credit ratings and limiting the aggregate risk to any individual counterparty. The Company's exposure to credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is considered low as the bank accounts are with banks with high credit ratings.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the situation where the Company may encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company seeks to manage financial risks to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet any foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably.

Interest rate risk

The Company is not exposed to material interest rate risk as its liabilities are either non-interest bearing or subject to fixed interest rates.

Reputational risks

The Management of the Company believes that at present there are no facts that could have a significant negative impact on the decrease in the number of its customers due to a negative perception of the quality of services provided, adherence to the terms of rendering services, as well as the participation of The Company in any price agreement. Accordingly, reputational risks are assessed by the Company as insignificant.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of all financial assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value.

Country risks

4 February 2022 Russia declared a war operation in Ukraine and launched full-scale military invasion, multilateral sanctions and restrictions were imposed on work with certain Russian legal entities and individuals. These circumstances caused unpredictable volatility in the stock and currency markets, in energy prices, general price level, the Bank of Russia's key interest rate and restrictions on flow of certain groups of goods. It is expected that these events may affect the business of companies in various countries and industries.

One of the Directors of the Company is a citizen of the Russian Federation. He is not subject to the sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom and other countries. The Company does not provide to and receive services from Russian companies.

The Management analyzes the current situation and possible solutions. At present, the duration of these events cannot be predicted and their impact on the future financial position and performance of the Company cannot be reliably assessed.

Other risks

The industry risk is currently assessed as low, and the volume of advertising on the Internet is growing. However, it should be taken into consideration that the industry is affected by changing legislation on the regulation of the advertising services provision and compliance with information security of data. Also, The Company business depends on the availability, performance and reliability of internet, mobile and other infrastructures (speed, data capacity and security) that are not under The Company control.

The Company makes every effort to comply with the requirements of the legislation and to maintenance of a reliability for providing advertising internet services.
