("APQ Global" or the "Company")

Interim results for the period from 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022

HIGHLIGHTS

For the six months ended 30 June 2022

Financial highlights

Book Value at 30 June 2022 was $12.53m, a decrease of $11.06m from $23.59m since the start of the period. The term "book value" herein includes the assets of APQ Global Limited and its subsidiaries net of any liabilities. The results include the net assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, presented in US dollars.

Book Value per share in the period decreased by 14.1 cents from 30.07 to 15.97 cents.

Loss per share for the period was -$0.14117 (loss for six months ended 30 June 2021: -$0.06001).

The meaningful decline in book value was driven by the risk-off mood in global markets. The liquid equity market positioning was unchanged at the end of June, however equities and bonds suffered from material price declines. The private investments are unaffected by the market volatility and continue to perform well in line with management expectations.

No dividends were paid in the 6 months period ended 30 June 2022 (6 months ended 30 June 2021: none).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the six months ended 30 June 2022

1. Corporate information

The interim consolidated financial statements of APQ Global Limited (the "Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2022 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 29 September 2022. The Company is incorporated as a limited company in Guernsey. The Company was incorporated on 10 May 2016 for an unlimited duration in accordance with the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. The Company's registered office is at PO Box 142, Suite 2, Block C, Hirzel Court, St Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 3HT.

The objective of the Company is to steadily grow its earnings to seek to deliver attractive returns and capital growth through a combination of building growing businesses in emerging markets as well as earning revenue from income generating operating activities[2].

The Company and its subsidiaries have no investment restrictions and no maximum exposure limits will apply to any investments made by the Group, unless otherwise determined and set by the Board from time to time. No material change will be made to the Company's or subsidiaries objective or investing policy without the approval of Shareholders by ordinary resolution.

The Group's investment activities are managed by the Board. 

The shares are quoted on The International Stock Exchange for informational purposes. The ordinary shares are admitted to trading on AIM.

2. Significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2021 Annual Report.

Taking account of the financial resources available to the Company, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. After making enquiries the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than twelve months from the date of this report. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed financial statements.

2.2 Basis of accounting

APQ Global Limited has applied the same accounting policies and methods of computation in its interim consolidated financial statements as in its 2021 annual financial statements.

2.3 Functional and presentational currency

The Company's presentational and functional currency is US Dollars.

2.4 Fair value measurement

The Company measures its investments in APQ Cayman Limited, APQ Corporate Services Limited, APQ Knowledge Limited and BARTR Holdings Limited at fair value at each reporting date.

For APQ Cayman Limited this is considered to be the carrying value of the net assets of APQ Cayman Limited. APQ Cayman Limited measures its underlying investments at fair value.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the six months ended 30 June 2022

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Fair value measurement (continued)

The fair value for financial instruments traded in active markets at the reporting date is based on their quoted price (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs.

For all other financial assets, not traded in an active market, including APQ Corporate Services Limited, APQ Knowledge Limited and BARTR Holdings Limited, the fair value is determined by using valuation techniques deemed to be appropriate in the circumstances. These have been determined in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) Guidelines. These guidelines require the valuer to make judgements with regards to the most appropriate valuation method to be used and the results and inputs used to determine these valuations. Valuation methods that may be used include:

·      The income approach - valuation through discounted cash flow forecast of future cash flows or earnings, using appropriate discount rates.

·      The market approach - valuation by comparing the asset being valued to comparable assets for which price information is readily available. This price information can be in the form of transactions that have occurred or market information on companies operating in a similar industry.

·      The cost approach - valuation based on the cost of reproducing or replacing the asset being valued.

The use of these guidelines requires management to make judgements in relation to the inputs utilised in preparing these valuations. These include but are not limited to:

·      Determination of appropriate comparable assets and benchmarks; and

·      Adjustments required to existing market data to make it more comparable to the asset being valued.

The use of these guidelines additionally requires management to make significant estimates in relation to the inputs utilised in preparing these valuations. These include but are not limited to:

·      Future cash flow expectations deriving from these assets; and

·      Appropriate discount factors to be used in determining the discounted future cash flows.

Where an assets fair value cannot be determined the Company measures these assets at a valuation of $nil. For assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company identifies transfers between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing the categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole), and deems transfers to have occurred at the beginning of each reporting period.

2.5 6% Convertible preference shares

APQ Capital Services Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, issued 6% convertible preference shares ("CPS"). The CPS contain a perpetual 6% dividend rate and a conversion option for ordinary shares of APQ Global Limited. On initial issue the CPS were recognised as a liability comprising a liability held at amortised cost and a derivative conversion option held at fair value through profit and loss.

At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component held at amortised cost was estimated by assuming that an equivalent non-convertible obligation of the Company would have a coupon rate of 7.9%. The fair value of the derivative component, containing a variable conversion rate, is derived from the difference between the value of the consideration determined for the acquisition of Parish Group Limited and the fair value assigned to the liability held at amortised cost.

The terms of the CPS were amended on the 30 June 2020, to amend the conversion option to a fixed ratio of CPS to ordinary shares. Subsequent to this amendment to the CPS are regarded as a compound instrument, comprising of a liability component and an equity component.  Due to the significant change in the terms of the CPS the initial instrument was derecognised and then recognised at the new fair value. Any gain/loss on the derecognition of the liability is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

On amendment, the fair value of the liability component was estimated by assuming that an equivalent non-convertible obligation of the Company would have a coupon rate of 11.9%. The fair value of the equity component was determined in based on the present value of the average gain on conversion based on a range of simulated share prices. 

The dividends on the convertible preference shares are taken to the statement of comprehensive income as finance costs.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the six months ended 30 June 2022

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

2.6 Share warrants

Share warrants issued are measured at fair value at the date of issue using the Black-Scholes pricing model, which incorporates certain input assumptions including the warrant price, risk-free interest rate, expected warrant life and expected share price volatility. The fair value is included as a component of equity and is transferred from the share warrant equity reserve to share capital on exercise. If the warrants expire then the fair value is transferred from the share warrant equity reserve to retained earnings.

3. Segment Information                                                                                                  

For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main operating segment, which invests in equities and credit, government and local currency bonds. All of the Group's activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent on the others. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole.                                                                                                             

The following table analyses the Group's assets by geographical location. The basis for attributing the assets are the place of listing for the securities or for non-listed securities, country of domicile.

10. Earnings Per Share

The basic and diluted earnings per shares are calculated by dividing the profit or loss by the average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

		For the six months ended 30 June 2022		For the six months ended 30 June 2021
		$		$
Total comprehensive income for the period		(11,069,248)		(4,703,457)
Average number of shares in issue		78,408,067		78,382,601
Earnings per share		(0.14117)		(0.06001)

The Group had share awards vested but not yet issued, which are not dilutive in 2022, as the impact of dilution would be to decrease the loss per share. The impact of these share awards would have no impact on the total comprehensive income/loss for the year. They would increase the weighted average number of shares by 58,414 (30 June 2021: 204,450).

The Group has 6,000 (30 June 2021: 6,000) units of Convertible Loan Stock which are potentially dilutive if converted into ordinary shares. This would increase the weighted average number of shares by 6,000 (30 June 2021: 6,000) exercise price on these conversion options currently exceeds the traded share price of APQ Global. These are not currently dilutive (30 June 2021: dilutive).

11. Dividends

No dividends were declared in the period ended 30 June 2022 nor the period ended 30 June 2021.

The stated dividend policy of the Company is to target an annualised dividend yield of 6% based on the Placing Issue Price.  Due to the impact of market volatility on the Company's book value, it has ceased all dividends until further notice.

There is no guarantee that any dividends will be paid in respect of any financial period. The ability to pay dividends is dependent on a number of factors including the level of income returns from the Group's investments. There can be no guarantee that the Group will achieve the target rates of return referred to in this document or that it will not sustain any capital losses through its activities.

Valuation techniques        

APQ Cayman Limited has a portfolio of tradable assets and liabilities which it values at fair value using the same policies as the Company. The Company is able to redeem its holding of APQ Cayman Limited at its net asset value.  Fair value of the investment in APQ Cayman Limited is therefore measured at its Net Asset Value ("NAV"). NAV is determined based on the observable market values of its portfolio of assets and liabilities.

Fair value of the investment in APQ Corporate, has been determined by determining the valuation of its underlying investments. The underlying investments have been valued through the income approach, incorporating comparison with external sources and the expected cash flows of the investment. The income approach was determined to be the most appropriate as the underlying investments are revenue generating businesses.

The investment in APQ Knowledge Limited was completed on 1 March 2019. Fair value has been determined by determining the valuation of its underlying investments. The underlying investments have been valued through the income approach, incorporating comparison with external sources and the expected cash flows of the investment. The income approach was determined to be the most appropriate as the underlying investments are revenue generating businesses.

The fair value of BARTR Holdings Limited is nil. This is due to BARTR Holdings Limited being a pre-revenue technology start-up company for which future revenue is highly uncertain, and without comparable companies to benchmark the valuation against. The income approach and market approach therefore do not produce a reliable valuation and management has therefore determined the valuation to be $nil.

Listed investments are measured at fair value using the current market bid price for the underlying equity as quoted on the applicable stock exchange the security is traded on.

Unlisted managed funds  

The Company classifies its investments into the three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on:                                                                                                                                                  

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;                                                                             

Level 2: Those involving inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and                                                             

Level 3: Those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).         

The Company has classified its investments in BARTR Holdings Limited, APQ Corporate Services Limited and APQ Knowledge Limited as level 3 as the inputs utilised in valuing the investments are deemed to be unobservable, as they are private investments. The most significant unobservable input used in the fair value of the investments in APQ Corporate Services Limited and APQ Knowledge Limited are the future expected cash flows of the investments these companies hold, used in deriving a valuation using discounted cash flows. Valuation is determined for these holding companies by the value of the underlying investments held. The Company has valued its investment in BARTR Holdings Limited as $nil. The unobservable inputs of future cash flows could not be reliably determined due to the pre-revenue nature of the business and therefore the most reliable fair value to be determined was $nil. The movement in the investments in the year are shown above.

19. Share awards

On 19 April 2017 (and amended 17 July 2018), the Company established a share award scheme for the employees of the Company. The scheme grants the Board the authority to allot share awards or share options with service conditions attached. Share awards or options can only be awarded for performance periods whereby the book value per share (excluding dividend transactions) exceeds the book value per share for all previous performance period ends. The maximum amount of share awards or options is determined by reference to 20% of the increased performance of the current book value per share against all previous performance periods. The Board retains the right to settle these awards in either shares or cash. As the Company does not have a present obligation to settle in cash the awards are all recognised as equity settled share awards.

The first share awards were granted in 2018 with respect to the performance period ended 31 December 2017.

Grant date		Type of award		No. of instruments		Fair value of instrument granted pence		Vesting conditions		Final vesting date
1 January 2018		Shares		584,141		128.11		Awards vest quarterly over 5 years provided the employee is still in service of the Group.		31 December 2022

Fair value for the award dated 1 January 2018 is calculated by reference to the fixed value of cash per share that the Board is at discretion to pay rather than settle the award in shares.
