-- London has started to recover from the severe losses it has incurred in previous years to a small loss for the first half.
-- Singapore received its EduTrust certification from the Committee of Private Education in July 2017 and initiatives to capitalize on the re-certification have already been implemented.
-- Malaysia, while down in the first-half due to correction and improvement in quality assurance and international student issues, is now showing signs of improvement with a better outlook expected for the second half of this financial year.
-- In the first half of 2017, loans amounting to GBP118,000 from a major shareholder of the Group were converted into 2,360,000 new ordinary shares at a conversion price of 5p per share.
Gopinath Pillai, Chairman, stated,
"Two positive developments which have taken place in the Malvern Group in the first half of the year gives me reason to be optimistic. First, London which had been incurring heavy losses is showing strong signs of a recovery which is likely to become more obvious in the second half of the year. Second, Singapore which had lost its EduTrust license four years ago has now been granted a new license by the Committee for Private Education in Singapore. I expect this to have a significant positive impact in the coming months on Singapore's operations going forward."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Two positive developments which have taken place in the Malvern Group in the first half of the year gives me reason to be optimistic. First, London which had been incurring heavy losses is showing strong signs of a recovery which is likely to become more obvious in the second half of the year. Second, Singapore which had lost its EduTrust license four years ago has now been granted a new license by the Committee for Private Education in Singapore. I expect this to have a significant positive impact in the coming months on Singapore's operations going forward.
A brief review of the operations of London, Singapore and Malaysia is given below:
United Kingdom
-- London's revenue has started to grow and new registrations indicate more significant growth in the second half of the year. For the first half, revenue was at GBP770,000 (2016: GBP658,000) with an operating loss at GBP43,000(2016: GBP133,000).
South East Asia
-- Singapore reported a small loss of GBP51,000 (2016: GBP96,000) on reported revenue of GBP109,000 (2016: GBP124,000) due to the smaller operational size but the new EduTrust license obtained in July 2017 will improve the fortunes of Singapore. We can now bring in foreign students to school in Singapore which has not been possible for the last four years.
-- Malaysia struggled in the first half as we continued with the correction in quality assurance and international student issues but the second half's outlook is positive as we resolve all outstanding issues relating to the school. Because of these changes, better quality reports are expected from the ministry in the coming months. New programs and courses have also been implemented. Revenue reported in Malaysia dropped from the GBP1,276,000 as reported in 2016 to GBP772,000 in the first half of 2017.
Financial Results
The Group's revenues on continuing activities for the six months in 2017 declined by 19% to GBP1.7m (2016: GBP2.1m) , mainly due to the decrease in revenue in Malaysia. However, the Group's efforts to better manage its operating costs and offer new courses with better margins have resulted in the Group's loss before tax for the six months from continuing operations decreasing to GBP0.39m (2016: GBP0.46m).
No impairment of intangible assets was considered necessary for the first six month as we had already undertaken an extensive review and impairment charge during 2016 and we are confident that the plans and strategies we have in place for the second half of 2017 and 2018 will drive the Group's business positively.
The basic and diluted loss per share on the continuing business was (0.39p) (2016: 0.77p).
Net cash at the end of the year saw a slight drop at GBP0.36m (2016: GBP0.45m).
Outlook
The outlook remains positive for the Group as the initiatives we have taken and implemented should provide for a more stable second half with real positive results being generated in 2018. Needless to say, shareholders' support is a key resource of the organisation. I thank all the shareholders for their patience and continued support.
