CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT
Dear Shareholders,
The results for the year ended 31 March 2016 were disappointing;
MoneySwap Plc ("Moneyswap", the "Company" or the "Group") did not
make any significant progress in building its revenue base to a
sustainable level, notwithstanding that revenues and gross profit
increased substantially in percentage terms during the year. Total
revenues in the year were US$397,056 (year ended 31 March 2015:
US$162,602) and gross profit was US$178,728 (year ended 31 March
2015: US$99,938). The loss for the year of US$3.1 million was
marginally less than the loss incurred for the year ended 31 March
2015 (being US$3.5 million). The losses reflect the fact that the
fixed cost element of the Group's operations requires significantly
more volume across the Group's platforms than has been achieved in
order to generate profits.
Net liabilities at 31 March 2016 were US$2,034,967 (31 March
2016: US$2,781,677).
Current trading and financing
Since 31 March 2016 the Company has continued to suffer from
insufficient working capital and significant cost reductions have
been necessary. This in turn has impacted negatively on the ability
of the Group to market its platforms and products and the Group
continues to incur losses.
The Company has made a number of announcements in recent months
updating shareholders on the Board's efforts to secure a
substantial refinancing of the Group. Capital needs have been
funded through a number of loans from related and unrelated
parties, including Wraith Holdings B.V. ("Wraith" and the "Wraith
Loan"). The Wraith principal is a USA-based investor with interests
and experience in payment processing, payment card issuance and
financial services.
The Company has today announced that it has entered into a
subscription agreement with Wraith (the "Wraith Subscription
Agreement"), pursuant to which Wraith has agreed to subscribe
US$3.005 million through the issue of new ordinary shares in the
Company. These new ordinary shares will represent approximately 67%
of the enlarged share capital of the Company (the "Subscription").
In addition the Company has granted Wraith an option to subscribe
for additional shares that would take Wraith's holding up to 75% of
the fully diluted share capital at a price of GBP0.001 per share
(which based on the current share capital) would result in Wraith
paying a further US$1.414 million of subscription monies
("Option"). In the event that Wraith makes the full subscription
including the Option it will come to own a maximum of 75% of the
enlarged and fully diluted share capital. The subscription
agreement is conditional inter alia, on: i) publication of these
financial statements and the unaudited results for the six months
ended 30 September 2016; ii) the receipt of a no objection letter
from the Financial Conduct Authority; iii) the lifting of the
current suspension of trading of the Company's shares (and
depository interests) on AIM, the continued admission of the
Company's trading on AIM and the continued engagement of Allenby
Capital as the Company's nomad; and iv) the approval of the
Company's shareholders of the Subscription and Option at a
forthcoming General Meeting of the Company which will be convened
for a date in April 2017.
As part of the agreements associated with the Wraith
Subscription Agreement, at completion of the Subscription Wraith
will acquire certain debt obligations of the Company totaling
US$1.425 million which, together with the amounts outstanding under
the Wraith Loan, will be set-off in part against the obligation to
pay the subscription proceeds due under the Subscription.
The Board believes that it is likely that the conditions
precedent to the Wraith Subscription will be met or waived by
Wraith and that the subscription will proceed on the basis set out
in the Wraith Subscription Agreement. This will allow the Group to
be restored to a sound financial footing and to benefit from
Wraith's plan for generating new and increased revenue streams
using the existing Group platforms and products. However as of the
date hereof the conditions precedent have not been met. In this
regard I would draw your attention to the accounting policies note
2 in the financial statements and the auditors' reports on the
financial statements. These reports contain an emphasis of matter
as to the going concern basis on which these financial statements
have been prepared.
Board changes
There have been a number of management changes at Board level.
On 11 November 2015 Richard Proksa resigned as CEO (but remained as
a director of the Company), Mr Kung-Min Lin assumed the role of
Chairman and CEO and Ms Yu Shu Fen was appointed as an Executive
Director. On 30 December 2015 Mr Proksa and Mr Lin stepped down as
directors, Ms Yu assumed the role of CEO and I assumed the role as
Chairman.
On 30 August 2016, subsequent to the year end, Ms Yu resigned as
CEO and I assumed the role of Interim CEO in addition to my role as
Chairman. Given the financial position of the Company it has not
been possible to appoint a permanent CEO. Following the completion
of the proposed subscription by Wraith it is intended that a new
CEO will be appointed as soon as reasonably possible
thereafter.
Suspension from trading on AIM
The Company's shares were suspended from trading on AIM on 21
September 2016 for failure to publish its audited financial
statements for year ended 31 March 2016 within six months of the
period end. In addition, the Company was required to publish its
interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2016 prior to
31 December 2016. Following the publication of these 2016 Results,
these suspension conditions have now been satisfied, however, the
Company has been informed by its registrars that, as a result of
unpaid fees due to the Company's working capital constraints, the
depositary interest ("DI") facility put in place at the time of the
Company's admission to trading on AIM has been cancelled. As the
Company is incorporated in Gibraltar, its ordinary shares are not
eligible for electronic settlement in the UK. The DIs were put in
place in order to provide holders of ordinary shares with a
mechanism of electronic settlement using the CREST system.
The AIM Rules for Companies require that all AIM Companies must
ensure that their securities are eligible for electronic
settlement. As a result, the Company's shares will remain suspended
from trading on AIM until such time that the Company has put in
place a replacement DI facility. The Company has been working with
its registrars with regards to implementing a new DI facility and
anticipates that this will be in place prior to the date of the
extraordinary general meeting which is to be held on or about 19
April 2017. An update will be provided in due course.
In conclusion, whilst the financial results for the year ended
31 March 2016 and subsequent trading are totally unsatisfactory I
believe that completion of the Wraith Subscriptions, its
participation in the Company's governance process and its business
development support will result in a brighter future. To get to
this point after an extremely difficult period has required huge
effort and support from various stakeholders; employees,
shareholders, lenders and advisers and I am extremely grateful for
all their efforts.

STRATEGIC REPORT
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended
31 March 2016.
Business review and future developments
A detailed review of the Group's business and future
developments is included in the Chief Executive Officer's Statement
on pages 3 to 4 of the annual report and accounts.
Notes 3 and 25 set out the Group's key sources of uncertainties
associated with estimation and judgment as well as financial risk
management policies for its exposure to various risks. In addition,
the Group also faces the following risks:
Going concern
The going concern status of the Group requires critical
judgments to be made. These are addressed in note 2.
Dependence on banks
The Group is dependent upon its relationship with banks, which
process payments between the Group and its customers. The Group has
good relationships with several banks and we consider there are
numerous choices of banks available to us and therefore, this risk
is not materially affecting our business operations.
IT development and risk of failure
Services based on sophisticated software and computing systems
may encounter development delays, and the underlying software may
contain undetected errors or failures when introduced or when the
volume of services provided increases. The Group has an experienced
IT team to take care of, monitor the performance of and to update
our systems.
Monetary and central bank regulations
The Group's business activities are subject to different and
changing monetary and central banking regulations in each of the
territories it operates in or intends to operate. Our legal and
compliance team is knowledgeable in this area and ensures the Group
is in compliance with the relevant regulations at all times.
Anti-money laundering and know your customer
The Group treats anti-money laundering ("AML") regulations
seriously and has implemented a number of stringent processes to
ensure AML compliance. This includes an extensive "know your
customer" policy and applying AML criteria to each transaction
processed on behalf of customers.
Economic conditions
Changes in economic conditions, in Asia-Pacific, Europe or
elsewhere (for example in relation to interest rates, exchange
rates, inflation, rates of tax, industry conditions, regulatory
protection, competition, political and diplomatic events and other
factors) could affect the Group's prospects and returns. Also, with
the Group's focus on providing merchant acquisition and remittance
services for UnionPay, transaction volumes on visitors' spending,
settlement of online e-commerce payments and overseas remittances
to China may be affected by the overall economic conditions, and
thus the Group's financial performance may be affected. The Group's
management has been closely monitoring the trends of economic
conditions and will focus on projects which take advantage of the
trends.
Given the early stage of operations of the business, the
Company's directors are of the opinion that analysis using key
performance indicators is not necessary for an understanding of the
development, performance or financial position of the business. The
key performance indicators analysis will be provided in future
years when they become more relevant.

INDEPENT GROUP AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MONEYSWAP
PLC
We have audited the Group financial statements of MoneySwap plc
for the year ended 31 March 2016 which comprise the Consolidated
Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in
Equity and the related notes 1 to 31. The financial reporting
framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable
law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as
adopted by the European Union.
This report is made solely to the parent Company's members, as a
body, in accordance with our engagement letter. Our audit work has
been undertaken so that we might state to the parent Company's
members those matters we are required to state to them in an
auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to
anyone other than the parent Company and the parent Company's
members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the
opinions we have formed.
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditor
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities
Statement set out on page 9 of the annual report and accounts, the
directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial
statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair
view. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and
maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying
appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates
that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the
financial statements in accordance with applicable law and
International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those
standards require us to comply with the Financial Reporting
Council's (FRC's) Ethical Standards for Auditors and the Code of
Ethics issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants, as appropriate.
As Group auditors, we have agreed that our responsibilities in
relation to the Annual Report will be those as set out below.
We report to you our opinion as to whether the Group financial
statements give a true and fair view. We also report to you whether
in our opinion, the information disclosed in the Directors' Report
is consistent with the Group financial statements, if the Group has
not kept proper accounting records, if we have not received all the
information and explanations we require for our audit, or if
information specified by the AIM Rules for Companies regarding
Directors' remuneration and other transactions is not
disclosed.
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
A description of the scope of an audit of financial statements
is provided on the FRC's website at
www.frc.org.uk/auditscopeukprivate.
Opinion on financial statements
In our opinion:
-- the financial statements give a true and fair view of the
state of the Group's affairs as at 31 March 2016 and of the Group's
loss for the year then ended;
-- the Group financial statements have been properly prepared in
accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union.
Emphasis of matter - Going concern
In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is not
modified, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made
in note 2 to the financial statements concerning the Group's
ability to continue as a going concern. The Group incurred a net
loss of US$3,065,096 during the year ended 31 March 2016, had
current liabilities exceeding total assets by US$1,293,367 and had
net current liabilities of US$2,002,470 at 31 March 2016. As
described in note 2 to the financial statements, the directors have
identified that:
-- the going concern status of the Group is dependent upon the
completion of the subscriptions of the Company's shares by Wraith
Holdings B.V.;
-- the completion of the first subscription is dependent upon
fulfilment of contractual conditions which are required to be met
following the release of these financial statements; and
-- fulfilment of certain of the contractual conditions is
outside the control of the directors.
This matter, along with the other matters explained in note 2 to
the financial statements, indicates the existence of material
uncertainties which may cast significant doubt about the Group's
ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include the adjustments that would result if the Group was
unable to continue as a going concern.
Opinion on other
In our opinion the information given in the Strategic Report and
the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the
financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial
statements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters
where we would report to you if, in our opinion:
-- we have identified material misstatements in the Directors' Report; or
-- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND COMPANY
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
FOR THE YEARED 31 MARCH 2016
1 General
MoneySwap Plc (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the
"Group") are principally engaged in providing merchant acquisition
and remittance services for China UnionPay ("CUP"), and operating
an online peer to peer foreign exchange and payment platform.
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and
domiciled in Gibraltar. The Company's shares were listed on the
Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") of the London Stock Exchange
on 31 August 2011.
2 Significant accounting policies
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRSs") as adopted by the European Union ("EU"). IFRSs
are subject to amendment and interpretation by the International
Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the IFRS Interpretations
Committee and there is an ongoing process of review and amendment
by the European Commission.
These accounting policies comply with IFRSs that were mandatory
for accounting for the year ended 31 March 2016.
The consolidated financial statements also comply with the
Gibraltar Companies Act 2014. Under Section 288(2) of the Gibraltar
Companies Act 2014, the Company is exempt from the requirement to
present its own statement of profit and loss and other
comprehensive income.
The Government of Gibraltar passed into law the Companies Act
2014 ("the New Act") on 1 November 2014. The accounting and audit
provisions of the New Act came into force for annual periods
commencing on or after 1 November 2014. The adoption of the New Act
by the Company and the Group has not had a significant impact on
the financial statements and results.
The parent company made a loss after tax of US$4,139,912 (2015:
loss of US$3,186,233).
The principal accounting policies adopted by the Group in the
preparation of its financial statements for the year ended 31 March
2016 with comparatives for the year ended 31 March 2015, are set
out below. The accounting policies have been consistently applied
to all periods provided.
Going concern
The Board has considered the basis for adopting a policy of
preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis in the
light of the current financial position of the Company and the
Group, its future trading prospects and having regard to various
agreements that have been entered into as between the Company,
Wraith Holdings B.V. ("Wraith"), Leading Empire Group Limited
("LE"), Avance Development Corporation ("Avance"), Broad Rivers
International Limited ("Broad Rivers") and Changsha Zhangdian
Investment Company Limited ("Changsha") (certain of which are
included in note 19 and 20) and agreements reached with past and
present Directors and Mr Henry Lin. The Board has also had regard
to a letter received from Wraith which together with the
attachments thereto demonstrates availability of funds.
The Board has concluded that the going concern basis is
appropriate as a basis on which to draw up the financial statements
having regard to the following:
Wraith has entered into a loan agreement after the year end with
the Company providing for a bridge loan facility of US$725,000. As
of 20 March 2017 US$435,000 had been drawn or agreed as drawdowns
under this facility leaving US$290,000 available but undrawn. The
Board believes this will provide sufficient working capital for the
Company up to the time of the first subscription under the
subscription agreement that has been entered into between Wraith
and the Company.
The subscription agreement as between Wraith and the Company
provides for Wraith, subject to the satisfaction of a number of
conditions (see below) to subscribe US$3.005 million for new
ordinary shares in the company (representing circa 67% of the
enlarged share capital) such subscription to be satisfied as to the
cancellation of US$1.425 million of debt obligations owed at that
point to Wraith (by virtue of the assignment agreements entered
into between the Company, Wraith, Avance, LE and Changsha),
cancellation of outstanding loans to Wraith at the time of the
first subscription, estimated to be at that point US$500,000 and
cash of US$1.080 million. Completion of the first subscription will
provide the Group with sufficient funds to bring existing creditors
substantially up to date, meet outstanding costs of the
transactions, repay US$100,000 to Broad Rivers and provide
additional working capital to fund the Company's operations.
Under the terms of the subscription agreement Wraith has an
option to subscribe a further US$1.414 million in return for new
ordinary shares. The Board believes it is likely that Wraith will
exercise this option in whole or in part to provide the necessary
additional working capital over the next 12 to 18 months and
including effecting the repayment of the remaining US$1.1 million
of debt obligations which will not have been extinguished at the
time of the first subscription.
The Board has also had regard to the favourable impact on
trading volumes that is expected to arise from the refinancing
arising from the Wraith subscription agreement and the
strengthening of the Group's financial position that arises
therefrom. The Board also believes that Wraith is in a position and
intends to introduce additional volumes of business across the
Moneyswap platforms which can be redirected to Moneyswap by Wraith
in the short term.
The Board has had regard to the conditions that remain to be
satisfied in the Wraith subscription agreement. These are:
-- The ordinary shares (and depositary interests) of the company
remaining admitted to trading on AIM and the suspension of the
trading being lifted; The Board considers that these conditions
will be satisfied before an Extraordinary General Meeting of the
Company expected to take place on or about 19 April 2017.
-- The FCA having given approval for change of control of
Moneyswap Limited; the Board expects this condition to have been
fulfilled or waived by Wraith by the end of May 2017.
-- The passing of various enabling resolutions by the
shareholders of the Company; on the basis of the irrevocable
undertakings received by the Company the Board expects this
condition to have been satisfied at the EGM expected to be on or
about 19 April 2017.
-- Various warranties given by the Company remaining true and
accurate; the Board expects this condition to be met given the
nature and extent of the warranties.
-- No material adverse change in major financial markets; whilst
this is out of the Board's control such an event would historically
be unusual and the Board also considers that such an event would
also need to have material adverse effects on the Company's
prospects in order for Wraith not to wish to proceed with the first
subscription.
-- That Allenby Capital Limited continues to be engaged as the
Company's nominated advisor. The Board considers that this
condition will be met throughout the period and for the foreseeable
future.
So whilst the conditions create some uncertainty as to whether
the subscription will proceed, this uncertainty is strictly limited
and the Board believes that the conditions will be met or waived,
the first subscription made, subsequent subscriptions made under
the Wraith options and that with the debt of the Company largely
extinguished and with the prospects for trading post the first
subscription that the going concern basis is the right policy to
adopt in the preparation of the accounts.
The financial statements do not include the adjustments that
would result if the Group was unable to continue as a going
concern.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of
the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its
subsidiaries). These financial statements consolidate the results
and statement of financial position of the Company and those
entities treated as subsidiaries using the acquisition method of
accounting.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group
controls an entity when it is expected 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.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains
control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control
of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a
subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in
the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other
comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until
the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements
of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with
the Group's accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses
and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the
Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the difference between the cost of an acquired
entity and the aggregate of the fair value of that entity's
identifiable assets and liabilities. Positive goodwill is
capitalised on the consolidated statement of financial
position.
Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. If
any indications of impairment exist then an impairment loss is
recognised if the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its
estimated recoverable amounts.
Investment in associate
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant
influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a
joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in
the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but
not control or joint control over those policies.
The results and assets and liabilities of associate are
incorporated in the consolidated financial statements using the
equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investment in
associate is carried in the consolidated statement of financial
position at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the
Group's share of the net assets of the associate, less any
impairment in the value of individual investments.
Losses of an associate in excess of the Group's interest in that
associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in
substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the
associate) are recognised only to the extent that the Group has
incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on
behalf of the associate.
Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group,
profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group's
interest in the relevant associate.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less
depreciation less any recognised impairment losses. Subsequent
costs are included in an asset's carrying amount only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item
will flow to the Group and the costs can be measured reliably. All
other costs, including repairs and maintenance costs, are charged
to the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income
in the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is provided on all property and equipment and is
calculated on a straight-line basis as follows:
Leasehold improvements - 20%
Office and computer equipment - 20%
Depreciation is provided on cost less residual value. The
residual value, depreciation methods and useful lives are annually
reassessed.
The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for
impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Any impairment is
taken direct to the statement of profit and loss and other
comprehensive income.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of development expenditure incurred in
respect of software for the Group's electronic exchange platform
and payment gateway systems and is recognised as an intangible
asset in accordance with the provision of IAS 38 "Intangible
Assets". Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less
accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any.
Amortisation of these assets is charged to administrative and
operating expenses in the statement of profit and loss and other
comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the expected
useful economic life of the asset.
Amortisation is charged against assets from the date at which
the asset becomes available for use and is calculated on straight
line basis as follows:
Electronic exchange platform - 20%
Payment gateway systems - 20%
Where no intangible asset can be recognised, development
expenditure is treated as expenditure in the period in which it is
incurred.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the directors review the carrying
amounts of the Group's tangible and intangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an
impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable
amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent
of the impairment loss, if any.
Equity
Equity comprises the following:
-- "Share capital" represents amounts subscribed for shares at nominal value.
-- "Share premium" represents amounts subscribed for share
capital, net of issue costs, in excess of nominal value.
-- "Share-based payment reserve" represents amounts credited for
share option expenses, until exercise or forfeiture of share
options, when the amounts are taken into share capital and premium
or retained earnings.
-- "Foreign exchange translation reserve" represents the
exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial
statements of the parent company into the Group's presentation
currency and the translation at the closing rate of the net
investment in the subsidiaries.
-- "Combination reserve" represents amounts arising from the
difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value
of the assets to be recorded to the account for the share for share
exchange, which occurred during the years ended 31 March 2011 and
31 March 2012.
-- "Retained earnings" represents the accumulated profits and
losses attributable to equity shareholders.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the
consolidated statement of financial position when the Group becomes
a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Trade and other receivables are measured at initial recognition
at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method. A provision is established
when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to
collect all amounts due. The amount of any provision is recognised
in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive
income.
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value,
and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest rate method.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held
at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less and bank
overdrafts.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual
interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its
liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded
at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Convertible loan notes
At initial recognition the convertible loan notes which do not
contain an equity component (see note 19) are measured at fair
value and subsequently carried at amortised cost. There is no
equity component of the convertible loan notes as the option to
convert is at the sole option of the Company. The interest expense
recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other
comprehensive income for the convertible loan notes is calculated
using the effective interest method.
If the note is converted, the carrying amounts of the
convertible loan notes are transferred to share capital and share
premium as consideration for the shares issued. If the note is
redeemed, any difference between the amount paid and the carrying
amount is recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other
comprehensive income.
Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises commission from merchant acquisition services
for China UnionPay ("CUP") and commission received on the execution
of foreign exchange and fund transfers on behalf of the clients.
Other income mainly comprises bank interest income, gain on
de-recognition of convertible loan notes and service fee
income.
Revenue
-- Commission from merchant acquisition services is recognised
based on settlement of the relevant payment transactions.
-- Commission from remittance is recognised on an accruals basis
following execution of the transactions.
Other income
-- Bank interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.
-- Gain on de-recognition of convertible loan notes is
recognised for the difference between the carrying amount and face
value of the convertible loan notes upon de-recognition.
-- Service fee income is recognised when the services are rendered.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company is Sterling ("GBP"). As
the Group operates in both Europe and Asia, United States dollars
("US$") is used as the presentation currency for the Group's
consolidated financial statements. Foreign currency transactions by
Group companies are recorded in their functional currencies at the
exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and
liabilities have been translated at rates in effect at the
reporting date, with any exchange adjustments being charged or
credited to profit or loss.
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries
with non-United States dollars functional currency are translated
into the Group's presentation currency at the exchange rate at the
reporting date and the income and expenditure account items are
translated at the average rate for the period.
For the purpose of foreign currency translation, the net
investment in a subsidiary is determined inclusive of foreign
currency intercompany balances for which settlement is neither
planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in other
comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency
translation reserve (translation reserve) in equity. If the
operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary, then the relevant
proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to
the non-controlling interests.
In the statement of cash flows, cash flows denominated in
foreign currencies are translated into the presentation currency of
the Group at the average exchange rate for the year or at the
prevailing rate at the time of the transaction where more
appropriate.
The exchange rate applied at the statement of financial position
date was US$1.4370 per GBP1 (2015: US$1.4837).
Employment benefits
Provision is made in the financial statements for all employee
benefits. Liabilities for wages and salaries, including
non-monetary benefit and annual leave obliged to be settled within
12 months of the reporting date, are recognised in accruals.
Share-based payments
The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted
to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a
corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the
employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount
recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of
awards for which the related service and non-market vesting
conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately
recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet
the related service and non-market performance conditions at the
vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting
conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment
awards is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no
true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled share-based
payments by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments
at the date at which they are granted.
Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or
loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease
incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total
lease expense, over the term of the lease.
Current tax
Current tax for each taxable entity in the Group is based on the
local taxable income at the local statutory tax rate enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date and includes
adjustments to tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous
periods.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method, on
temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated
financial statements. However, if the deferred tax arises from the
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, it is not
accounted for. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws
that have been enacted (or substantively enacted) by the reporting
date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset
is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is
probable that, i.e., more likely than not, future taxable profits
will be available against which the temporary differences can be
utilised.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as
a component of tax expense in the statement of profit and loss and
other 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.

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, IFRSs
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of
applying the Group's accounting policies. It also requires the use
of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. The
critical accounting estimates and judgments made by the Group
regarding the future or other key sources of estimation uncertainty
and judgment that may have a significant risk of giving rise to a
material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year are:
Going concern
The going concern status of the Group requires critical
judgments to be made. These are addressed in note 2.
Share-based payments
The Group measures the cost of share options granted by
reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date
at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an
external valuer using a Binomial model, with the assumptions
detailed in note 17. The accounting estimates and assumptions
relating to these share-based payments would have no impact on the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual
reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.
Impairment of goodwill
The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired on an annual
basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating units, using value-in-use calculations, to which
the goodwill is allocated. These value-in-use calculations require
the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from
the cash-generating units and a suitable discount rate in order to
calculate the present values. The assumptions used in this
estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying amount of
goodwill are discussed in note 11.
Intangible assets - development expenditure
The Group's accounting policy for development expenditure
results in certain items of expenditure being capitalised where it
is considered likely to be recoverable by future revenue generated
from sales achieved by the Group. This policy requires management
to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and
circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new
information becomes available. If, after having capitalised the
expenditure under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery of
the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount will
be written off to the statement of profit and loss and other
comprehensive income.
Impairment of development expenditure
In accordance with the Group's accounting policy, each asset (or
cash generating unit) is evaluated every reporting period to
determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If any
such indication exists, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is
performed and an impairment loss recognised to the extent that
carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount. The recoverable amount
of an asset (or cash generating group) of assets is measured at the
higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained
from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between
knowledgeable and willing parties. Value in use is also generally
determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows,
but only those expected to arise from the continued use of the
asset in its present form and its eventual disposal. Present values
are determined using a risk-adjusted pre-tax discount rate
appropriate to the risks inherent in the asset. Future cash flow
estimates are based on expected sales volumes and prices
(considering current and historical prices, price trends and
related factors), operating costs and future capital
expenditure.
This policy requires management to make these estimates and
assumptions which are subject to risk and uncertainty. Hence, there
is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these
projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the
capitalised development expenditure. In such circumstances, some or
all of the carrying value of the asset may be impaired and the
impairment would be charged against the statement of profit and
loss and other comprehensive income. For details, please refer to
note 12.
Useful economic life of intangible assets
For intangible assets which have a finite life, the directors
revisit their estimate of useful economic life at each period end
and revise accordingly. The directors take into consideration the
intangible asset and related sales volume (including historic and
projected).
4 Segmental information
In the opinion of the directors, the Group has three business
lines as described below, which are managed separately as they
require different strategies:
- Prepaid cards ("PP cards")
- Merchant acquisition and remittance services for CUP ("Merchant acquisition and remittance")
- Peer to peer foreign exchange and payment ("P2P")
For the Group's internal reporting process, operating
performance for peer to peer foreign exchange and payment are
assessed together and therefore, their segmental results are
combined.
The directors consider that it is neither possible nor
meaningful to distinguish aggregate amortisation and depreciation,
other administrative and operating expenses and taxation between
the business segments, nor segmental net assets and liabilities. As
a result these amounts are not reported to the chief operating
decision maker on a segmental basis.

The goodwill relates to the excess of consideration paid over
the net assets acquired in MoneySwap Limited and MoneySwap FX
Limited. The directors consider that it is neither possible nor
meaningful to distinguish segmental net assets and liabilities
between the business segments.
The goodwill is tested annually for impairment and as at 31
March 2016.
The directors have considered the carrying value of goodwill. In
conducting their assessment they have considered the nature of the
subscription agreement with Wraith for a significant investment by
Wraith, by way of a subscription for new ordinary shares in the
Company, which is expected will represent 75% of the Company's
enlarged and fully diluted share capital.
As identified in the CEO's statements the primary drivers of the
value for the MoneySwap group are its intangible assets and
licenses, represented by the intangible assets and goodwill.
Therefore in context of the transaction with Wraith, where the
consideration represents the fair value of the goodwill and
intangible assets less costs to sell, at 31 March 2016, the
directors did not consider there to be any impairment in respect of
the goodwill.

of GBP0.05 when the Company was admitted to AIM on 31 August
2011.
2. Expected volatility is estimated based on the standard
deviation of return on historical share price of selected
comparable companies sourced from Bloomberg.
3. Risk free interest rate is based on the market yield of
Sterling Treasury Strip as of the grant date sourced from
Bloomberg.
4. Expected dividend yield is assumed to be 0%.
5. Expected annual departures is assumed to be 0%/5%/8%.

(b) During December 2012 to January 2013, the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary, Money Swap Exchange Limited ("MSEL"),
issued convertible loan notes to three independent third parties,
totalling US$1,450,000. The notes carry 10% annual coupon with
two-year's maturity, at which point the note holders may request
repayment of the outstanding principal plus any accrued interest,
or convert the loans into ordinary shares of the Company, with
conversion price at the average closing market price of an ordinary
share in the Company in the ten business days prior to the maturity
dates less 10% discount. Should the note holders not request
repayment then the repayment date will automatically be extended
for 12 months.
During the year ended 31 March 2015, MSEL agreed with holders of
US$350,000 and US$100,000 of the notes to extend the maturity date
by six months and three months respectively, with no conversion
options being attached to the extended notes. The notes of

attached to the notes. The Company has provided a guarantee to the
holder to secure the due performance and compliance of the new
agreement. The Company will pay and satisfy the repayment of all
the sums of money which shall become due and in default by MSEL.

========== ==========
Trade and other payables mainly consist of accrued legal and
professional fees and loan interest, and generally have short time
to maturity, the convertible loan notes and other loans are either
repayable on demand or have maturity dates ranging from 28 August
2017 to 8 March 2018.
At 31 March 2016 and 2015, the fair value and the book value of
the Group's financial assets and liabilities were materially the
same.
Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and foreign
currency risks arises in the normal course of the Group's
business.
The Group's overall risk management strategy seeks to minimise
adverse effects from the unpredictability of financial markets on
the Group's financial performance. The Board of Directors is
responsible for setting the objectives and underlying principles of
financial risk management for the Group.
These risks are limited by the Group's financial management
policies and practices described below.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default
on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the
Group. The Group does not generally provide credit to its customers
but credit exposures can arise, normally for a short period of
time, as the Group depends on its customers to pay for monies and
services provided. Credit exposures are monitored regularly against
approved risk limits, with client margins called for where
appropriate. The total of financial assets was US$219,925 at 31
March 2016 (2015: US$342,414).
Cash and cash equivalents are held at banks with high credit
ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The total
of cash and cash equivalents was US$129,521 at 31 March 2016 (2015:
US$162,817).
At 31 March 2016, the Group has concentration of credit risk as
all (2015: all) of the total trade receivables was due from one
customer. Ageing analysis was detailed in note 13. Other
receivables and deposits are spread over numerous counterparties
and customers.
Liquidity risk
The Group's policy is to regularly monitor current and expected
liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants,
to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and
adequate committed lines of funding from major financial
institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and
longer term.
The following table details the remaining contractual maturities
at the reporting date of the Group's financial liabilities, which
are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including
interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating,
based on rates current at the reporting date) and the earliest date
the Group can be required to pay:

4,155,042 4,305,830 3,605,157 700,673
========= ============= ========= =========
Interest rate risk
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash
flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk
that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to
changes in market interest rates.
The Group's interest rate risk arises primarily from the
interest-bearing convertible loan notes and other loans of
US$967,806 and US$741,600 respectively, which are interest-bearing
at 5%, 10% or 20% per annum and expose the Group to fair value
interest rate risk. Details of the notes and loans are set out in
notes 19 and 20.
The Group does not account for the fixed rate financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Thus, a change in
interest rate at the end of the reporting period would not affect
profit or loss.
Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash
flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises on financial assets
and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency of the entity by which they are held.
The Group's currency exposure based on the information provided
to key management is as follows:

31 Post balance sheet events
Since the balance sheet date on 31 March 2016 the Group has
continued to suffer from a lack of inadequate working capital and
to pursue alternatives that would provide a substantial refinancing
of the Company and the Group. This situation has led to a
continuing low level of revenues which have been insufficient to
generate the cash required for the Group's working capital needs.
In order to meet short term working capital needs the Group has and
secured loans from a number of parties both related and unrelated
as set out below, and has entered into a subscription agreement
with Wraith as set out below.
Loans from unrelated parties
On 6th May 2016 the Company received US$80,000 by way of a loan
from Changsha Zhangdian Investment Company Limited ("Changsha")
pursuant to discussions with Changsha and its associate Hunan
Commodity Exchange Company Limited ("HNCX") as to a proposal for
HNCX to subscribe for new ordinary shares in the Company.
Additional loans totalling US$315,000 were subsequently advanced
by Changsha to the Company. As at 20 March 2017 the total
outstanding loans from Changsha including accrued but unpaid
interest was US$395,000. On 6 March 2017 Changsha entered into an
agreement with Wraith to which the Company was also a party which
provided for Changsha to assign its debt to Wraith at completion of
the first subscription due under the Wraith Subscription Agreement
as described below.
Loans from related parties
On 24 January 2017 the Company obtained a US$100,000 loan from
Broad Rivers International Limited ("Broad Rivers"), a substantial
shareholder. On 6 March 2017 the Company and Wraith entered into a
deed of termination with Broad Rivers under the terms of which the
principal amount of US$100,000 will be repaid to Broad Rivers by
the Company on completion of the fist subscription made under the
Wraith Subscription Agreement.

On 20 March 2017 the Company announced that it had entered into
a subscription agreement with Wraith (the "Wraith Subscription
Agreement"). This agreement provides for Wraith to subscribe
US$3.005 million for approximately 67% of the enlarged share
capital (the "Initial Subscription"). In addition the Company has
granted Wraith an option to subscribe for additional shares that
would take Wraith's holding up to a maximum of 75% of the fully
diluted share capital at a price of GBP0.001 per share (which based
on the current share capital) would result in Wraith paying a
further US$1.414 million of subscription monies. ("Option"). In the
event that Wraith makes the full subscription including the Option
it will come to own a maximum of 75% of the enlarged and fully
diluted share capital. This subscription is subject to the
satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent including, inter
alia, the publication of these financial statements and the lifting
of the suspension of trading of the Company's shares (and
depositary interests) on the AIM Market of the London Stock
Exchange. The Company intends shortly to post a circular to
shareholders setting out full details of this agreement and
associated agreements and to convene a General Meeting of
shareholders to consider and if thought fit pass a Resolution which
will enable this subscription to go ahead following the General
Meeting if all the other conditions precedent are met.
As set out above, in the event that the Initial Subscription is
made then the agreement in place with Changsha provides for the
Changsha loan to be assigned at that point to Wraith. In addition,
loans from Leading Empire Group Limited (US$248,400) and Avance
Development Corp. (US$781,748) have been varied, the sums
outstanding agreed and fixed at the above sums and are to be
assigned to Wraith on the same basis as the Changsha loan. The
Subscription agreement provides for part of the first subscription
amount to be met in part by way of Wraith cancelling the Changsha,
Leading Empire and Avance loans totalling US$1,425,148.
Changes to the Board of Directors
Since the reporting date there have been a number of changes to
the Board of Directors as follows:
Sunny Yu resigned as a director and CEO on 30 August 2016; at
that point Craig Niven, Chairman assumed the role of Chairman and
Interim CEO.
Cessation of e wallet facility
The Company has announced on 18 October 2016 that it had ceased
operating its e wallet facility for individual clients. The
business was a minor revenue generator and incurred costs to
maintain that were not justified given the Board's view of the
strategic importance of this business.
Loans from Wraith
The Group drew down further loans of US$435,000 from Wraith. The
loans bear interest at 10% per annum with repayment on the earlier
of:
a. the termination of the exclusivity agreements entered between
Wraith and certain shareholders for the Company to cease
discussions on potential investment with other potential investors
for a period of six months;
b. two months after cessation of negotiations over the potential
significant investment by Wraith in the Company;
c. completion of the potential significant investment by Wraith in the Company; and
d. 30 June 2017.
