Chairman's Statement

Dear Shareholder

We have pleasure in presenting the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Following Mila's re-listing and broadening of its horizons we remain open minded about which industries we might invest in while retaining our key criteria for delivering excellent value for our shareholders. The mutually terminated proposed reverse takeover of Capital Metals Limited, while disappointing, has driven our new strategy which we hope will lead to a swift replacement. The reduction of investment routes for smaller businesses following the continued uncertainty over Brexit has driven some extremely exciting opportunities towards Mila. Negotiations are already well underway on these projects and we hope that at least one of these opportunities can be Mila's first acquisition.

We formed the Company to undertake an acquisition of a controlling interest in a company or business (an "Acquisition"). Any Acquisition is expected to constitute a reverse takeover transaction and consideration for the Acquisition may be in part or in whole in the form of share-based consideration or funded from the Company's existing cash resources or the raising of additional funds.

I look forward to reporting our progress to you over the next period.

Financial

Funding

The Company is funded through investment from its Shareholders following the Company's successful Standard Listing IPO onto the London Stock Exchange in 2016, raising GBP1.05 million before costs.

Revenue

The Company has generated no revenue during the year, however, its focussing on acquisition targets that will ultimately generate revenue for the Company.

Expenditure

During the year, the Company has continued its fiscal discipline with the Company continuing to maintain low overheads. Any monies spent on business development opportunities has only occurred after a particular project has passed our initial technical review.

Liquidity, cash and cash equivalents

Strategic Report

Understanding our business

The Company was incorporated on 3 June 2015, with the view of pursuing an initial public offering of its securities onto the London Stock Exchange through a Standard Listing to raise the necessary funds required for the execution of the business strategy, which is to acquire a business or asset.

This IPO was completed during 2016, with the Company successfully raising GBP1,050,000 before costs with Admission to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in October 2016.

Key performance indicators

Appropriate key performance indicators will be identified in due course as the business strategy is implemented following a successful acquisition. Given the current nature of the Company's business, the Directors are of the opinion that the primary performance indicator is the completion of an acquisition.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The principal risks currently faced by the Company relate to:

Acquiring Less than Controlling Interests

The Company may acquire either less than whole voting control of, or less than a controlling equity interest in, a target, which may limit the Company's operational strategies and reduce its ability to enhance Shareholder value.

Inability to Fund Operations Post-Acquisition

The Company may be unable to fund the operations post acquisition of the target business if it does not obtain additional funding, however, the Company will ensure that appropriate funding measures are taken to ensure minimum commitments are met.

The Company's Relationship with the Directors and Conflicts of Interest

The Company is dependent on the Directors to identify potential acquisition opportunities and to execute an acquisition.

The Directors are not obliged to commit their whole time to the Company's business; they will allocate a portion of their time to other businesses which may lead to the potential for conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to assign to the Company's affairs.

Suitable Acquisition Opportunities may not be Identified or Completed

The Company's business strategy is dependent on the ability of the Directors to identify sufficient suitable acquisition opportunities. If the Directors do not identify a suitable acquisition target, the Company may not be able to fulfil its objectives. Furthermore, if the Directors do not identify a suitable target, the Company may not acquire it at a suitable price or at all. In addition, if an acquisition identified and subsequently aborted the Company may be left with substantial transaction costs.

Risks Inherent in an Acquisition

Although the Company and the Directors will evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target, they cannot offer any further assistance that all of the significant risk factors can be identified or properly assessed. Furthermore, no assurance can be made that an investment in Ordinary Shares in the Company will ultimately prove to be more favourable to investors then a direct investment, if such an opportunity were available, in a target business.

Brexit

In March 2017, the UK officially triggered Article 50 and notified the EU of its intention to leave the EU following the UK's June 2016 referendum vote (commonly known as Brexit). The triggering of Article 50 begins the process of withdrawal from the EU. In November 2018, the UK and the 27 other countries involved in Brexit negotiations, agreed upon the terms of a withdrawal agreement and includes a transitional period until 31 December 2020, during which EU law will continue to apply in and to the UK. The withdrawal agreement will need to be ratified by the EU and the UK before it can enter into force and ratification is uncertain. On 10 April 2019, the European Council agreed an extension to allow for the ratification of the withdrawal agreement to last no longer than 31 October 2019. Subsequent to this, in October 2019, an extension has been granted until 31 January 2020. The UK and EU continue to negotiate the exit of the UK from the EU. The impact on the Company, if any, remains uncertain at this time but is being closely monitored by the board.

Reliance on External Advisors

The Directors expect to rely on external advisors to help identify and assess potential acquisitions and there is a risk that suitable advisors cannot be placed under contract or that such advisors that are contracted to fail to perform as required.

Failure to Obtain Additional Financing to Complete an Acquisition or Fund a Target's Operations

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain any additional financing needed to either complete an acquisition or to implement its plans post acquisition or, if available, to obtain such financing on terms attractive to the Company. In that event, the Company may be compelled to restructure or abandon the acquisition or proceed with the acquisition on less favourable terms, which may reduce the Company's return on the investment. The failure to secure additional financing on acceptable terms could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the Company and the acquired business.

Reliance on Income from the Acquired Activities

Following an acquisition, the Company may be dependent on the income generated by the acquired business or from the subsequent divestment of the acquired business to meet the Company's expenses. If the acquired business is unable to provide the sufficient amounts to the Company, the Company may be unable to pay its expenses or make distributions and dividends on the Ordinary Shares.

Restrictions in Offering Ordinary Shares as a Consideration for an Acquisition or Requirements to Provide Alternative Consideration.

In certain jurisdictions, there may be legal, regulatory or practical restrictions on the Company using its Ordinary Shares as a consideration for an acquisition or which may mean that the Company is required to provide alternative forms of consideration. Such restrictions may limit the Company's acquisition opportunities or make a certain acquisition more costly, which may have an adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company.

Gender analysis

A split of our employees and directors by gender and average number during the year is shown below:

 
             Male   Female 
 Directors   3      nil 
 

Corporate social responsibility

We aim to conduct our business with honesty, integrity and openness, respecting human rights and the interests of our shareholders and employees. We aim to provide timely, regular and reliable information on the business to all our shareholders and conduct our operations to the highest standards.

We strive to create a safe and healthy working environment for the wellbeing of our staff and create a trusting and respectful environment, where all members of staff are encouraged to feel responsible for the reputation and performance of the Company.

We aim to establish a diverse and dynamic workforce with team players who have the experience and knowledge of the business operations and markets in which we operate. Through maintaining good communications, members of staff are encouraged to realise the objectives of the Company and their own potential.

The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders, Board and advisors for their support during the year.

Notes to the Financial Statements

   1              GENERAL INFORMATION 

Mila Resources Plc (the "Company") looks to identify potential companies, businesses or asset(s) that will increase shareholder value.

The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and incorporated and registered in England and Wales as a public limited company. The Company's registered office is Lockstrood Farm, Ditchling Common, Burgess Hill, West Sussex, RH15 0SJ. The Company's registered number is 09620350.

   2              ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
   2.1          Basis of preparation 

The Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRS IC") as adopted by the European Union and the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.

The Financial Statements have been prepared un the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies are set out below and have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently for all periods presented in these Financial Statements. The Financial Statements are prepared in pounds Sterling and presented to the nearest pound.

   2.2          Going concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

The Company had a net cash outflow from operating activities for the year of GBP272,878 (2018: GBP230,484) and at 30 June 2019 had cash and cash equivalents balance of GBP428,673 (2018: GBP701,550).

The Company has no revenue but has cash resources to finance activities whilst it identifies and completes suitable transaction opportunities. When a suitable transaction is identified, the Directors will consider the need for further funding to complete the transaction.

Having considered forecasts, the Directors consider that there will be sufficient funds available for the Company to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these accounts. Accordingly, the Board believes it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the approval of the financial statements.

2.3 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group

New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations:

During the financial year, the Company has adopted the following new IFRSs (including amendments thereto) and IFRIC interpretations that became effective for the first time.

IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'

Mila Resources Plc has applied IFRS 9, which is effective for annual periods that begins on or after 1 January 2018, to the results for the year ended 30 June 2019. The standard replaces all phases of the financial instruments project and IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'.

The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had any significant impact on recognition and measurement of financial instruments in the financial statements.

IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'

Mila Resources Plc has applied IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is effective for annual periods that begin on or after 1 January 2018, to the results for the year ended 30 June 2019. The standard introduces a new revenue recognition model and replaces IAS 18 'Revenue', IAS 11 'Construction Contracts', IFRIC 13 'Customer Loyalty Programmes', IFRIC 15 'Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate', IFRIC 18 'Transfer of Assets from Customers' and SIC-31 "Revenue - Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.'

As the company has no revenue the introduction of IFRS 15 has had no impact on the financial statements.

Standards issued but not yet effective:

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following standards and interpretations relevant to the Company and which have not been applied in these financial statements, were in issue but were not yet effective. In some cases, these standards and guidance have not been endorsed for use in the European Union.

The directors do not consider that these standards will impact the financial statements of the Company.

   2.4          Foreign currency translation 

The financial information is presented in Sterling which is the Company's functional and presentational currency.

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recognised at the rates of exchange on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the balance sheet date with differences recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

   2.5          Financial instruments 

Initial recognition

A financial asset or financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position of the Company when it arises or when the Company becomes part of the contractual terms of the financial instrument.

Classification

Financial assets at amortised cost

The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

(1) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and

(2) the contractual terms of the financial asset generating cash flows at specified dates only pertain to capital and interest payments on the balance of the initial capital.

Financial assets which are measured at amortised cost, are measured using the Effective Interest Rate Method (EIR) and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method include current borrowings and trade and other payables that are short term in nature. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Company's obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate ("EIR"). The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in profit or loss. Trade payables other payables are non-interest bearing and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognised when:

(1) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

(2) the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has undertaken the commitment to fully pay the cash flows received without significant delay to a third party under an arrangement and has either (a) transferred substantially all the risks and the assets of the asset or (b) has neither transferred nor held substantially all the risks and estimates of the asset but has transferred the control of the asset.

Impairment

The Company recognises a provision for impairment for expected credit losses regarding all financial assets. Expected credit losses are based on the balance between all the payable contractual cash flows and all discounted cash flows that the Company expects to receive. Regarding trade receivables, the Company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach in order to calculate expected credit losses. Therefore, at every reporting date, provision for losses regarding a financial instrument is measured at an amount equal to the expected credit losses over its lifetime without monitoring changes in credit risk. To measure expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared risk characteristics.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value when related amounts are invoiced then carried at this amount less any allowances for doubtful debts or provision made for impairment of these receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Trade payables

These financial liabilities are all non-interest bearing and are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration payable.

   2.6          Equity 

Share capital is determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued.

The Share premium account includes any premiums received on the initial issuing of the share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from the Share premium account, net of any related income tax benefits.

Equity-settled share-based payments are credited to a share-based payment reserve as a component of equity until related options or warrants are exercised or lapse.

Retained losses includes all current and prior period results as disclosed in the income statement.

   2.7          Share-based payments 

The Company has issued warrants to the initial investors and certain counter parties and advisers.

Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value (excluding the effect of non-market based vesting conditions) at date of grant. The fair value so determined is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of the number of shares that will eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of non-market based vesting conditions. Fair value is measured using the Black Scholes pricing model. The key assumption used in the model have been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.

   2.8          Taxation 

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

Deferred tax is recognised 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 balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

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 that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled, or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

   2.9          Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty 

In the process of applying the entity's accounting policies, management makes estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the amounts recognised in the financial information. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The Directors consider that there are no critical accounting judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainly relating to the financial information of the Company.

   2.10       Loss per share 

Basic loss per share is calculated as profit attributable to equity holders of the parent for the period, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

   2.11       Segmental reporting 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker.

The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board as a whole.

All operations and information are reviewed together so that at present there is only one reportable operating segment.

   3.            SEGMENT REPORTING 

As identifying and assessing investment projects is the only activity the Company is involved in and is therefore considered as the only operating/reporting segment. Therefore the financial information of the single segment is the same a set out in the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position.

   4.            OPERATING LOSS

                                           ----------  ---------- 
 

Estimated tax losses of GBP597,747 (2018: GBP354,065) are available for relief against future profits and a deferred tax asset of GBP109,381 (2018: GBP60,191) has not been provided for in the accounts due to the uncertainty of future profits.

Factors affecting the future tax charge

The standard rate of corporation tax in the UK is 19%. Accordingly, the Company's effective tax rate for the period was 19% (2018: 19%).

A further change in the corporation tax rate from 19% to 17% (effective from 1 April 2020) was substantially enacted on 15 September 2016, therefore the potential deferred tax asset has been assessed on this basis.

   8.            LOSS PER SHARE 

The calculation of the loss per share is based on the loss for the financial period after taxation of GBP259,395 (2018: loss GBP235,264) and on the weighted average of 23,200,000 (2018: 23,200,000) ordinary shares in issue during the period.

The warrants outstanding at 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 are considered to be non-dilutive in that their conversion into ordinary shares would not increase the net loss per share. Consequently, there is no diluted loss per share to report for the period.

   9.            TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES 
 
                                         2019   2018

                                      -------  ------ 
 

The Directors consider that the carrying value amount of trade and other receivables approximates to their fair value.

                                -------  ------- 
 

Trade payables and accruals principally comprise amounts outstanding for trade purchases and continuing costs. The Directors consider that the carrying value amount of trade and other payables approximates to their fair value. Refer Note 18.

   12.          DEFERRED TAXATION 

No deferred tax asset has been recognised by the Company due to the uncertainty of generating sufficient future profits and tax liability against which to offset the tax losses. Note 7 above sets out the estimated tax losses carried forward and the impact of the deferred tax asset not accounted for.

Capital management

The Company considers its capital to be equal to the sum of its total equity. The Company monitors its capital using a number of key performance indicators including cash flow projections, working capital ratios, the cost to achieve development milestones and potential revenue from partnerships and ongoing licensing activities.

The Company's objective when managing its capital is to ensure it obtains sufficient funding for continuing as a going concern. The Company funds its capital requirements through the issue of new shares to investors.

Interest rate risk

The maximum exposure to interest rate risk at the reporting date by class of financial asset was:

 
                       2019   2018 
                        GBP    GBP 
  Bank balances     428,673   701,550 
                   --------  -------- 
 

The nature of the Company's activities and the basis of funding are such that the Company has significant liquid resources. The Company uses these resources to meet the cost of operations.

The Company is not financially dependent on the income earned on these resources and therefore the risk of interest rate fluctuations is not significant to the business and the Directors have not performed a detailed sensitivity analysis.

All deposits are placed with main clearing banks, with 'A' ratings, to restrict both credit risk and liquidity risk. The deposits are placed for the short term, between one and three months, to provide flexibility and access to the funds.

Credit and liquidity risk

Credit risk is managed on a Company basis. Funds are deposited with financial institutions with a credit rating equivalent to, or above, the main UK clearing banks. The Company's liquid resources are invested having regard to the timing of payment to be made in the ordinary course of the Company's activities. All financial liabilities are payable in the short term (between 0 to 3 months) and the Company maintains adequate bank balances to meet those liabilities.

Currency risk

The Company operates in a global market with income and costs possibly arising in a number of currencies. The majority of the operating costs are incurred in GBPGBP. The Company does not hedge potential future income or costs, since the existence, quantum and timing of such transactions cannot be accurately predicted. The Company did not have foreign currency exposure at year end.
