Chairman and Chief Executive Officer's statement

 

I have great pleasure in presenting the results for Majestic Corporation Limited ("Majestic" -or "the Company") for the year ended 31 December 2021. Majestic is the wholly owned subsidiary of Majestic Corporation Plc (together the Group), which was incorporated on 10 December 2021.

Majestic continues to be a leading non-ferrous metal and precious metals recycler with partnership ventures operating in eight countries and growing. It is through these key partnerships and our network, that we work to increase our presence across all countries to improve global sustainability as well as increase the value to our shareholders.

At our core, we are urban miners, working alongside suppliers and consumers committed to closing the loop on recycling to achieve a more sustainable and green future.

Our capital allocation has been focused on two main areas - investing in partnerships to secure long-term contracts and investing in equipment to recover greater yields from our inventories and technology in procuring inventory at the right price.

 

Ever since China implemented the National Sword policy, in January 2018, banning the importation of certain types of metals and imposed national tariffs between the United States, Europe and China, our team has shifted and broadened our customer base as well as strengthening our partnerships across the globe.

 

Highlights

Following the listing of Majestic Corporation Plc on AQSE in March, I see clear opportunities for the Group and I am delighted to announce a new facility in Deeside, UK which is expected to be fully operational in 2022.  This move fits into our long-term strategic objectives of deepening partnerships and expanding our presence in our current markets.

Financial Highlights

The year-end marks the first trading results following the successful listing of the company to the AQSE exchange in March 2022.

2021 has been an excellent year for Majestic and I am pleased to report yet another year of strong operational and financial results. Revenue up from US$27.5m to US$29.7m, largely driven by improvements in market prices for materials and the strengthening of key partnerships within our network.

Not only did we deliver another year of excellent results, but we also further advanced and solidified growth plans with all our partners putting us in a better position to succeed in the future. The Company has retained a strong cash position at year end with cash at bank increasing to US$2.5m (2020: US$2.3m).

Underlying earnings before tax of US$853k was up 103% (2020: US$419k). Net Profit after Tax of US$735k was up 97% (2020:US$374k). For year ended 31 December 2021, the company has decided not to pay a dividend.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021                                             

 (Expressed in United States Dollar)

The address of its registered office and the principal place of business are located at Unit 1203, 12/F, CC Wu Building, 302-308 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The Company was engaged in information technology assets management and recovery including processing, re-sales and recycling of metal scrap materials during the year.

 

The financial statements are presented in United States Dollars.

 

 

2.     STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622). The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

 

 

3.     ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS

 

In 2021, the Company has initially applied the new and revised IFRSs issued by the IASB that are first effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 and are relevant to the Company's financial statements, including:

 

IFRS 4, IFRS 7, IFRS 9,

The application of the new and revised IFRSs has no material effects on the Company's financial performance and positions.

 

 

4.     PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

 

a.            Basis of accounting

 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis.

 

b.     Revenue recognition

 

Revenue from the sales of goods is recognised when control of the goods has transferred, being when the goods have been shipped to the customer's specific location. Follow delivery, the customer has full discretion over the usage of the goods, has the primary responsibility when onselling the goods and bears the risks in relation to the goods. A receivable is recognised by the Company when the goods are delivered to the customers as this represents the point in time at which the right to consideration becomes unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before payment is due.

 

Interest income is recognised as other income as it accrues using the effective interest method.

 

c.     Borrowing costs

 

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

d.     Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

e.     Trade and other receivables

 

Trade and other receivables are stated at estimated realisable value after each debt has been considered individually. Where the payment of a debt becomes doubtful a provision is made and charged to the income statement.

 

f.      Trade and other payables

 

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 

g.     Translation of foreign currency

 

Foreign currency transactions during the period are translated into United States Dollars at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the market rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Exchange gains and losses on foreign currency translation are dealt with in the statement of income and retained earnings.                                  

 

h.     Taxation

 

Income tax expense represents current tax expense. The income tax payable represents the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authority, using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is not provided.

 

i.      Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In arriving at net realisable value an allowance has been made for deterioration and obsolescence.

 

j.      Leases

 

Leases are classified as operating leases and the rentals receivable or payable under these leases are credited or charged to the statement of income and retained earnings on a straight line basis over the duration of the leases.

 

k.     Employee benefits

 

Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.

 

Termination benefits are recognized when, and only when, the Group demonstrably commits itself to terminate employment or to provide benefits as a result of voluntary redundancy by having a detailed formal plan which is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.

 

l.      Government grants

 

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

18.   FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate, foreign currency and equity price risks arises in the normal course of the Company's business. The Company's exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Company to manage these risks are described below.

 

a.     Credit risk

 

In order to minimise credit risk, credit approvals and monitoring procedures are in place to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts.

 

b.     Liquidity risk

 

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for management of the Company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

 

c.     Interest rate risk

 

The Company draws import loans to maintain stable cashflow. The loans are interest bearing at LIBOR+1.45% and LIBOR+2.5%. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates. The Company's sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in LIBOR is as follow:




2021
