DIRECTORS’ REPORT

 

The Directors present their report and the audited accounts of the Group and Company for the year ended 30 June 2012.

 

Principal activity

The principal activity of the Company is that of a holding company, and the principal activities of the Group during the year was (i) distribution of satellite communication equipment and airtime (Satcom or Satcom Global) and (ii) sale of proprietorial software and associated equipment in VoIP and bandwidth optimisation markets (Horizon or Horizon Globex).

 

Reporting currency

The Group reports its financial statements in US dollars because the majority of its sales and cost of sales are in this currency.

 

Results

In March 2012 the Company entered into negotiations with the directors of Broadband Satellite Services Limited to sell the Satcom Global business and all the subsidiaries involved in the satellite communications business. The sale was completed in October 2012 and as a result the remaining group retained the Horizon Globex software business. As a result the Horizon Globex results are reported as continuing operations whilst the Satcom Global business has been shown as discontinued operations.

 

Review of the business and future developments

The income from continuing operations grew to $19.7 million from $4.3 million and profit after taxation rose from $3 million to $13.5 million.

 

The discontinued operations showed a reduction in turnover of 30% from $119 million to $83 million due to the considerable downturn in government expenditure in satellite communication which was widely reported. As a result this segment lost $2.6 million in the year (2011: profit $2.7 million). In addition to the trading loss and outside the normal course of business the Group made a fair value adjustment to the value of goodwill carried in Satcom Global totalling $13.1 million. As a result of the poor trading in the Satcom business the directors decided to sell Satcom Global to concentrate on Horizon Globex .

 

In advance of the sale in October, the Group repaid all the bank facilities due to HSBC, which were secured on the assets of the discontinued business operation.

 

During the year the Company raised $7.7 million for the continued development of the Horizon Globex suite of products. These funds were raised by the issues of new shares of $5.7 million and a $2.0 million loan from five shareholders.

As set out in note 35, on 30 November 2012 the Company reversed into a US company, Intelligent Communication Enterprise Corporation (“ICE”) and as a result the former shareholders of One Horizon Group Plc own in excess of 95% of the issued share capital of ICE. ICE is quoted on the NASD OTCQB market in the United States. It is the Directors intention to raise additional funds to assist the growth in the Horizon business and fund new developments in the Horizon software suite.

 

Overview of Horizon

Horizon is the world’s most bandwidth-efficient Voice over IP (VoIP) platform. Enabled by the Company’s SmartPacket™ technology, it offers VoIP from only 2kbps compared to around 8kbps from other VoIP platforms.

 

Horizon enables greater bandwidth efficiency by reducing IP overhead and optimising packet flow, delivery and playback. It is also extremely efficient in the way it handles silence. Traditional VoIP calls send the same amount of data in both directions, regardless of whether someone is speaking or not. Horizon detects silence and sends “heartbeats” so it doesn’t sound like the line has been dropped. These heartbeats get sent at only 0.25kbps compared to around 8kbps on other VoIP platforms. From low-bandwidth VoIP, Horizon extends into a range of optimised data applications – email, web browsing and instant messaging – which give the user total visibility and control over how much data they consume.

 

The solution has been totally developed in-house and is fully compatible with digital telecommunications standards. It is capable of interconnecting any phone system over IP – on mobile, fixed and satellite networks.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

 

Future growth opportunities

The Horizon Globex solution was initially developed for the mobile satellite market, to make best use of the limited bandwidth available, minimise the amount of data consumed and ultimately save costs for the end-user.

 

The Company then realised the potential for the solution in the broader telecommunications market, particularly within the mobile sector. With the explosive growth in smartphone sales and increased usage of mobile data services, mobile operators face the challenge of dealing with increasingly congested networks, more dropped calls and rising levels of churn. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource and it is not always possible to increase network capacity. The demand for solutions which optimise the use of IP bandwidth will inevitably grow.

 

The Company has therefore developed a mobile application which enables highly bandwidth-efficient VoIP calls over a smartphone using an EDGE, 3G, 4G/LTE, WiFi or WiMax connection. The Horizon Call app is currently available for the iPhone and a version for Android is in development.

 

Unlike other mobile VoIP apps, Horizon Call has positioned a business-to-business solution for mobile operators. It is a solution that they own and deploy. They decide how to integrate it within their portfolio, how to offer it commercially and it can be customised according to their own branding. It helps them to manage rising traffic volumes while also combating the competitive threat to their voice telephony revenues from other mobile VoIP apps.

 

Asia represents a key opportunity for the Horizon Call app because there are significant markets with high population density, high penetration of mobile phones and high growth in the adoption of smartphones. These factors will put increased pressure on mobile operators to manage their network availability.

 

In this context, Horizon Globex is forming a number of joint ventures with local partners in the region to exploit this opportunity. To date, the Company has formed joint ventures, in India, Russia and China.

 

Commercial risks

Commercial risks faced by the Group are similar to many other businesses, in terms of foreign exchange losses where the business buys and sells goods and services in a currency other than the reporting currency. The Group has limited exposure in salaries and other overheads priced in Sterling, Euro’s, Thai Baht, Singapore Dollars, Australian Dollars and to a small extent Yen. Trading expenditure and income is predominately in US dollars. Where certain product lines are priced in other currencies the price quoted is based on prevailing rates of exchange.

 

The Group secured funding of $7.7 million during the year; $5.7 million in share issues and a $2 million shareholder loan. The Group continues to minimise the risks associated with interest rate changes by maintaining a diversified funding portfolio with varying conditions, as detailed in note 23 to these accounts.

 

Regarding risks associated with technology changes within the industry product ranges, the Group has experienced a low level of inventory obsolescence over many years, partially due to maintaining low inventory levels and partially due to the long practical life of products within the mobile satellite services sector when compared to other communication sectors.

Independent auditor’s report to the shareholders of

One Horizon Group plc

 

We have audited the financial statements of One Horizon Group plc for the year ended 30 June 2012, which comprise the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated and company statements of financial position, the consolidated and company statements of changes in equity, the consolidated and company cash flow statements and the related notes. 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 and, as regards the parent company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.

 

This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the 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 company and the 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 statement of directors’ responsibilities, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. 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). These standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.

 

Scope of the audit of the financial statements

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

 

Opinion on financial statements

In our opinion:

 

·the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent company’s affairs as at 30 June 2012 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;
·the parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and
·the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

 

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion the information given in 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 the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

 

·adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
·the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
·certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
·we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

One Horizon Group plc

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2012

 

1.Nature of business and corporate information

 

One Horizon Group plc is a company incorporated in the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is given on page 1. The nature of the group’s operations and its principal activities are set out in the Directors’ report on pages 2 to 5.

 

2.Basis of preparation

 

The financial statements of the Group and Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting and Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union (“IFRSs”). The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except where IFRSs requires an alternative treatment. The principal variations from historical cost relate to financial instruments (IAS 39).

 

The financial statements are presented in US dollars since this is the currency in which the majority of the Group’s transactions are denominated.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with general accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although the estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, even or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

 

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, there were Standards and Interpretations that were in issue but not yet effective and which have not been applied in these financial statements. The Directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations in future periods will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group or Company, except for additional disclosures when the relevant Standards come into effect.

 

Summarised below are details of the new standards, significant amendment to standards and interpretations which have been issued by the IASB and IFRIC but not adopted by the Group during the period as application is not mandatory in the current financial year:

 

Standard/

Interpretation

Title Effective date
     
- IAS 12 (revised): Income taxes 1 January 2012
- IAS 19 (amendments): Employee Benefits (2011) 1 January 2013

 

None of the new standards, interpretations and amendments, which are effective for periods beginning after 1 July 2011 and which have not been adopted early, is expected to have a material effect on the Group's future financial statements.

 

Going concern

In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of financial statements, the Directors are required to consider whether the Group can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

 

The current economic conditions create some uncertainty, particularly over the level of demand for airtime sales, the speed of adoption of Horizon Globex, and continued constraints on inventory management as a result of increasingly restrictive supplier credit terms. However, the underpinning strength of the Group’s potential has continued to secure additional working capital to support the business plan.

 

In the first quarter of the year, the Board secured additional funding from an outside investor for new shares ($3m). In the second quarter a further shareholder loan of $2m was secured (which incurs 10% interest with repayment on demand, Company sale or anytime at the Company’s discretion), and $2.7m equity in the fourth quarter. However, the parent group (One Horizon Group Plc) has considered the long term future working capital needs for the group as a whole and consequently the Board and the Shareholders agreed to dispose of the SatCom Global cash generating unit.

One Horizon Group plc

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2012

 

On the basis of their assessment of the Group’s short term and long term working capital requirements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

 

3.Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and enterprises controlled by the Company (“its subsidiaries”) made up to 30 June each year. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of a subsidiary. Adjustment are made if required to align the accounting policies of the sibsidiaries with the group.

 

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

 

All inter-company transactions and balances between group enterprises are eliminated on consolidation.

 

Business combinations

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the acquisition date, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the group, plus any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets that are held for resale, which are recognised and measured at fair value less costs to sell.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of cost over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised of a subsidiary, associate or jointly controlled entity at the date of acquisition. For business combinations completed on or after 1 January 2010, direct costs of acquisition are recognised immediately as an expense. Goodwill is recognised as an asset and is tested for impairment annually, or on such occasions that events or changes in circumstances indicate that its value might be impaired.

 

On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of unamortised goodwill, which has not been subject to impairment, is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

  

Positive goodwill arising on acquisitions before the date of the transition to International Financial Reporting Standards has been retained at the previous UK GAAP amount subject to being tested for impairment at that date. Negative goodwill arising on acquisitions before the date of the transition has been credited to retained earnings at the date of transition. Where negative goodwill arises on acquisitions after the date of the transition, it is immediately credited in full to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on the acquisition date.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued

 

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised:

 

·on sales of hardware, on transfer of risk and rewards of ownership, which is at the time of delivery and invoicing, when the title is passed to the customer.
·on sale of prepaid mobile calling cards or credits upon delivery, either physically or virtually, of such cards or credits.
·on post-paid airtime services, including voice and data transmission, when the service is rendered.
·on sale of software, upon transfer of the intellectual property rights, when title passes to the customer.

 

Revenue is stated net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.

 

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the interest rate applicable.

 

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

 

Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income.

 

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

 

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are also spread on a straight line basis over the lease term.

 

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement in the period to which they are incurred.

 

Taxation

The tax charge represents the sum of current and deferred tax.

 

Current tax payable is based on taxable profits for the year. Taxable profits differ from net profits as reported in the income statement because it excludes items that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are not taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheets date.

One Horizon Group plc

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2012

 

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which temporary differences can be utilised.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet 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 asset to be recovered.

 

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates enacted or substantially enacted, and that are expected to apply in the period when the liability or the asset is realised.

 

Currencies

Transactions in currencies other than US Dollars are initially recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in such currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. The principal exchange rate ruling at 30 June 2012 was £1 = US$1.5716. Profits and losses arising on exchange are included in the net profit or loss for the period.

 

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of the following assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss or an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:

 

·property, plant and equipment;
·intangible assets – Horizon software;
·investments in subsidiaries;
·interests in joint controlled entity.

 

If the recoverable amount (i.e. the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use) of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

 

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

 

Share based payments - employee services

The fair value of employee services received in exchange for the grant of options or shares is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options or shares determined at the grant date, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable and the number of shares that the employee will ultimately receive. This estimate is revised at each balance sheet date and the difference is charged or credited to the income statement. Proceeds received on exercise of options, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to equity.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

  

Externally acquired intangible assets

Externally acquired intangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost and subsequently amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful economic lives.

 

Intangible assets are recognised on business combinations if they are separable from the acquired entity or give rise to other contractual/legal rights. The fair values ascribed to such intangibles are arrived at by using appropriate valuation techniques (see section related to critical estimates and judgements below).

 

In-process research and development programmes acquired in such combinations are recognised as an asset even if subsequent expenditure is written off because the criteria specified in the policy for development costs below are not met.

 

The significant intangibles recognised by the Group, their useful economic lives and the methods used to determine the cost of intangibles acquired in a business combination are as follows:

 

  Intangible assets Useful economic life Valuation method
  Contractual relationships Term of contract Estimated discounted
    (up to 5 years) Cash flow
       
  Software Indeterminate Relief from royalty method
      incorporating a discounted
      cash flow

 

The software is included within the Horizon software intangible asset, and as such is tested for impairment annually, or on such occasions that events or changes in circumstances indicate that its value might be impaired.

 

Internally generated intangible assets (development costs)

 

Expenditure on internally developed products is capitalised if it can be demonstrated that:

 

• it is technically feasible to develop the product for it to be sold;

• adequate resources are available to complete the development;

• there is an intention to complete and sell the product;

• the Group is able to sell the product;

• sale of the product will generate future economic benefits; and

• expenditure on the project can be measured reliably.

 

Capitalised development costs are in relation to the Horizon software, which is considered to have an indeterminate economic life. The Horizon software is tested for impairment annually, or on such occasions that events or changes in circumstances indicate that its value might be impaired.

 

Development expenditure not satisfying the above criteria and expenditure on the research phase of internal projects are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as incurred.

 

Segmental reporting 

The Directors regard the Group's primary segments of business to be Satcom Global and Horizon Globex. The business has no geographical aspect which requires analysis as secondary segments. Costs are allocated to the appropriate segment as they arise with central overheads apportioned on a reasonable basis.

One Horizon Group plc

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2012

 

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged so as to write the cost less residual value over estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method commencing in the month following the purchase, on the following basis:

 

Leasehold property improvements - Term of lease
Equipment - Between 3 and 5 years
Motor vehicles - 5 years

 

The useful lives and residual values of assets are reviewed annually.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, over the term of the lease.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset including disposal costs is recognised in the income statement.

 

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the average cost method, and net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated revenue less all estimated costs of completion and necessary selling costs.

 

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group or Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 

The Group faces certain risks, not all of which are within its control. The main risk factors are outlined as follows:

 

a)Suppliers – The Group purchases its airtime from a few main satellite operators, the majority being from Inmarsat, Iridium and Thuraya and is reliant on the operators maintaining their capacity to enable customers to use their equipment. The satellite operators have contingency plans to protect their business and the directors consider the risk is not significant.

 

b)Foreign currency – The Group reports its results in US Dollars because the majority of the trading income and expenditure is in that currency. The Group has limited exposure to sterling/US dollar exchange rate due to the fact that UK head office and certain interest costs are payable in sterling.

 

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are stated at their nominal value less allowances for irrecoverability and an allowance to reflect the time cost of money..

 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term deposits and liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

Bank borrowings

Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are accounted for on an accruals basis in the income statement using the effective interest rate method.

 

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that creates a residual interest in the assets of the group. Financial Liabilities are measured at amortised cost.

 

Trade payables

Trade payables are stated at cost.

One Horizon Group plc

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2012

 

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event from which it is likely that an outflow of economic benefits will occur which can be reasonably quantified.

 

Equity instruments

Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

 

4.Critical accounting estimates and judgements

 

The Group makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

 

i)Impairment of goodwill

 

All goodwill has been eliminated as a result of the disposal of Satcom Global. This is therefore not a critical area in the current year.

  

ii)Amortisation of intangible assets

 

Intangible assets representing contractual relationships are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. For the purposes of the contractual relationship assets, their useful lives have been estimated to reflect the term of the contracts, up to 5 years. The valuation of the contractual relationships were made at the time of acquisition based on the estimated discounted cash flows of the contractual relationships.

 

The determination of the useful lives involves management’s estimation. The Group re-assesses the useful lives of the contractual relationships and if the expectation differs from the original estimate, such a difference may impact the amortisation in the year and the estimate will be changed in the future period.

 

Self-created intangible assets representing intellectual property from software product development are required to be recognised under IAS38. Expenditure on internally developed products is capitalised if it can be demonstrated that:

 

·it is technically feasible to develop the product for it to be sold;
·adequate resources are available to complete the development;
·there is an intention to complete and sell the product;
·the Group is able to sell the product;
·sale of the product will generate future economic benefits; and
·expenditure on the project can be measured reliably.

 

Capitalised development costs are in relation to the Horizon software, which is considered to have an indeterminate economic life. The Horizon software is tested for impairment annually, or on such occasions that events or changes in circumstances indicate that its value might be impaired.

 

Development expenditure not satisfying the above criteria and expenditure on the research phase of internal projects are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as incurred.

 

The carrying amount of the self-created software development intangible assets is not amortised since the Board considers that this intellectual property currently has an indeterminate life. Instead it is subject to an impairment review on an annual basis or whenever an event occurs that may materially impact the carrying value or the recoverable amount of the assets.

One Horizon Group plc

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2012

 

Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

 

iii)Impairment of intangible assets

 

The Group is required to test, where indicators of impairment exist, whether intangible assets have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amount is determined based on value in use calculations. The use of this method requires the estimation of future cash flows and the choice of a discount rate in order to calculate the present value of the cash flows. Actual outcomes may vary.

 

The Group’s core business is subject to rapid technological change. The accounts are prepared and policies relating to goodwill and other intangibles are applied in accordance with judgements formed in the light of current technological and market knowledge. It is possible that technological change could alter these judgements at any time.

 

5.Financial risk management

 

Financial risk factors

The Group’s business activities are set out in the Business Review on pages 2 to 3. These activities expose the Group to a number of financial risks. The following describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing these risks and the methods used to measure them.

 

(a)Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives for managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an efficient capital structure to manage the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders and issue new shares or buy back existing shares. The Group has bank facilities as set out in note 22. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year.

 

(b)Market risk
(i)Price risk

The Group has limited exposure to price risk relating to the price of airtime and hardware, as price changes from suppliers would be passed onto customers under the contractual agreements.

 

(i)Interest rate risk

As the Group has limited interest rate risk as it has fixed rates on its principal debt contracts. The impact is on income and operating cash flow and arises from changes in market interest rates. Cash resources are held in current, floating rate accounts.

 

(ii)Foreign currency risk

 

The vast majority of the group’s trading activities are denominated in USD, the reporting currency. The group has salary and operating costs in local currency in the countries where we have a presence. These risks are not considered significant.

 

Credit risk

The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables and other current assets. The majority of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents are held across three UK financial institutions.

 

The concentration of credit risk from trade receivables and other current assets varies throughout the year depending on the timing of transactions.

 

A high proportion of trading partners by value are large corporate entities, or governmental bodies with good credit ratings thereby minimising the risk of non-payment. Other exposures of the Group are spread over a number of customers and counterparties with little concentration on any one entity. There are no other identified concentration risks.

The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables and other current assets is represented by their carrying amount.

 

No significant collateral is held is respect of the above exposures however no significant amounts are past due or impaired and the credit quality of the exposures is considered to be good

 

(c)Liquidity risk

 

The Group seeks to manage liquidity risk to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet the requirements of the business and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. The Board reviews available cash to ensure there are sufficient resources for working capital requirements.

 

At 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011 all amounts shown in the consolidated balance sheet under current assets and current liabilities mature for payment within one year.

14.Dividends

 

   2012   2011 
   $’000    $’000 
Dividend amounts paid:          
No final dividend was paid during the year ended 30 June 2012 (2011: 0.60 cents per share)   -    457 
No interim dividend was paid during the year ended 30 June 2012 (2011: 0.35 cents per share)   -    266 
    -    723 

 

The Board is not proposing a final dividend at the Annual General Meeting as set out in the Directors’ Report.

 

15.Prior year adjustment

 

A prior period reporting error occurred on the acquisition of Abbey Technology GmbH on 18 September 2010. The error arose on the treatment of acquisition costs of $1,284,896 which were included in the value of the investment by the Company, overstating the value of the investment. The cost of its investment in Abbey Technology GmbH reported by the Company was $4,923,896 but should have been $3,639,000 as follows:

 

Fair value of consideration paid  Company 
   $’000 
      
Cash   1,003 
16,473,000 $0.10 Ordinary shares issued at a value of $0.16   2,636 
      
Total consideration   3,639 

 

The correction is to charge the acquisition costs to profit and loss of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2011, thereby reducing the cost of the investment in Abbey Technology GmbH to $3,639,000.

 

The adjustment was made in the consolidated financial statements during the year to 30 June 2011.

The Horizon software suite incorporates optimised voice and messaging over IP together with web services and billing systems. This is the core sales product of the business and the Board considers that this intellectual property has an indeterminate life and accordingly is not amortised but is instead subject to annual impairment review.

 

Software with a fair value of $5,200,000 was acquired in 2011 as part of the acquisition of Abbey. All other intangibles other than the contractual relationship disclosed above were internally generated.

The Directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates to their fair value. The group has no bad debt provision for continuing operations but retained a bad debt provision of $524,261 (2011 $225,000) against its discontinued operations.

 

The ageing profile of trade receivables is as follows

 

   Group 
   2012   2011 
   $’000   $’000 
         
Current   2,886    12,947

Over 120 days   5,565    787 
           
    21,847    15,206 

 

Credit risk

The Group and Company have no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.

 

23. Bank balances and cash

 

Bank balances and cash comprise cash held by the Group and Company and short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. The carrying value of these assets approximates their fair value.

 

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Control

 

On the 30 November 2012 the Company was acquired by Intelligent Communication Enterprise Corporation (“ICE”). The acquisition followed an offer by ICE of 175.14 new shares in ICE for every share held by shareholders in One Horizon Group Plc (“OHG”). As a result of the takeover the former shareholders of OHG now control over 95% of the enlarged share base of ICE and the transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition in the next reporting period. There has been no effective change of control.

 

ICE has now changed its name to One Horizon Group, Inc. (“OHGI”) and is traded on the NASD OTCQB market under symbol OHGI. The Directors of OHG have now been appointed to the board of OHGI.
