Majestic Corporation Plc (the "Company" or "Majestic")
Interim Results to 30 June 2023
Majestic Corporation plc (AQUIS: MCJ), an emerging leader in the precious metals and non-ferrous metals recycling, is pleased to announce its interim results for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2023.
Financial highlights:
-- Revenue was US$13.0m (H1 2022: US$12.9m)
-- Profit before tax US$862k (H1 2022: US$980k)
-- Net assets increased to US$7.6m (as at 31 December 2022: US$6.8m)
-- Cash in bank and on hand of US$1m (as at 31 December 2022: US$1.8m)
Peter Lai, Chairman and CEO of Majestic said:
We have today published another strong set of interim results achieved against a period of high interest rates, geopolitical tension and with China, the biggest consumers of commodities, experiencing shrinking GDP. We continue to closely monitor economic developments, which predict a drop in industrial activities in key sectors that are drivers for demand in commodities.
Despite these difficult conditions for global markets, which we don't see improving in the short term, our focus remains on safeguarding our competitiveness by further reducing our costs and securing long term contracts with customers."
Improving performance in a year of macro and political uncertainty is a tribute to the team's effort and risk management. We are confident that the Company will continue to prosper in the coming years."

About the Company
Majestic Corporation is an emerging leader in the precious metals and non- ferrous metals recycling. Working with suppliers globally Majestic plays an integral role in the circular economy by making resources available for future use.
CHAIRMAN AND CEO'S REPORT
FOR THE PERIODED 30 JUNE 2023
The Board of Majestic Corporation Plc is pleased to announce the Company's unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2023.
Statement from Chairman and CEO
As a vertically integrated organisation, we process, upgrade and recycle non-ferrous metals products and deliver it to refineries directly. We continue to source material from the US, Mexico, Australia and Europe (including the UK) and upgrade the products through a network of facilities located in Italy and Malaysia. The first half of the 2023 financial year has been challenging due to the high level of uncertainty resulting from geopolitical conflicts, logistical pressures and macroeconomic headwinds yet the Company has performed well.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine continued to have a material adverse impact on the business, to both the cost and supply of precious metals. The Board will continue to monitor the effects on our supply pressures, logistics, foreign exchange rate fluctuations and commodity pricing.
Outlook
Looking forward to the current global situation, the rising interest rates and inflation rates tends to have an adverse impact on the price of commodities, however there is also usually a period of resetting in many industries to reflect a more nationalistic approach and control of a country's own critical metal supplies. Majestic is well positioned to benefit from this, with the core sectors being precious and industrial metals.
The Board remains cautiously optimistic and continues to evaluate opportunities for generating value for shareholders.
CHAIRMAN AND CEO'S REPORT
FOR THE PERIODED 30 JUNE 2023
Financial Highlights
-- The 6 months result to 30 June 2023 marks the second interim results following the successful listing of the company to the AQSE exchange in March 2022.
-- The turnover for the 6-month period was another strong result at US$13m (H12022: $12.9M).
-- The Company has retained a strong cash position at 30 June 2023 with cash at bank US$1m (as at 31 December 2022: US$1.8m).
-- Underlying earnings before tax of US$862k (2022: US$980k).
Strategic Report
The principal activity of the Group continues to be urban recycling of precious metals and non-ferrous metals from weee and auto petroleum catalysts. We have procurement warehouse locations in the USA, and the UK and long-term suppliers in Italy, Lithuania, Mexico and Australia. In addition, we have processing facilities in Malaysia capable of handling twenty thousand tons a year. With our reputation, quality, and volume, we are able to deliver directly to refineries.
The success of our strategy rests on the Company's profitability first, and we eliminate risk by hedging our sales, especially at the time of uncertainty. The result announced today demonstrates this to be successful strategy.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIODED 30 JUNE 2023
(Expressed in United States Dollar)
1. GENERAL INFOMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Company is a public company, limited by shares, and incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The company has its listing on AQSE Growth Market.
The address of its registered office and the principal place of business are located Unit 15 Drome Road, Deeside Industrial Park, Deeside, Wales, CH5 2NY, United Kingdom.
The financial statements are presented in United States Dollars.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
On 8 March 2022, the Company acquired the entire shareholding of Majestic Corporation Limited via a share-for-share exchange. The insertion of the Company on top of the existing Majestic Corporation Group does not constitute a business combination under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. This transaction has been deemed to be an acquisition in line with guidance from the Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and as such the consolidated accounts for the Group are treated as a continuation of the consolidated accounts of the Majestic Corporation Group.
Under the principles of continuation accounting the consolidated financial statement of the newly formed Group must reflect:
-- The assets and liabilities of the Majestic Corporation Group at pre-combination carrying amounts;
-- The retained earnings and other equity balances of the Majestic Corporation Group at pre-combination carrying amounts;
-- The assets and liabilities of the Company at fair value;
-- The share capital of the Company;
Basis of preparation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements (Interim Financial Statements) Majestic Corporation Group Plc comprise the results of the Group for the 6 months ended 30 June 2023.
The consolidated reserves of the Group have been adjusted in the current period following the share-for-share exchange to reflect the share capital of the Company with the difference giving rise to a merger reserve.
The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority. The annual financial statements of the Group will be prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Financial Reporting Standards. They do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006 and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements prepared for the Majestic Corporation Group for the twelve months ended 31 December 2022, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are filed with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong and are available to shareholders on request"
The information for the period ended 30 June 2023 has neither been audited nor reviewed and does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
a. Basis of accounting and accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis.
b. Revenue recognition
Revenue from the sales of goods is recognised when control of the goods has transferred, being when the goods have been shipped to the customer's specific location. Following delivery, the customer has full discretion over the usage of the goods, has the primary responsibility upon selling the goods and bears the risks in relation to the goods. A receivable is recognised by the Company when the goods are delivered to the customers as this represents the point in time at which the right to consideration becomes unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before payment is due.
Interest income is recognised as other income as it accrues using the effective interest method.
c. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
d. Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated at estimated realisable value after each debt has been considered individually. Where the payment of a debt becomes doubtful a provision is made and charged to the income statement.
e. Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
f. Translation of foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions during the period are translated into United States Dollars at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the market rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Exchange gains and losses on foreign currency translation are dealt with in the statement of income and retained earnings.
g. Taxation
The tax expense in the consolidated income statement comprises current tax payable and deferred tax.
h. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In arriving at net realisable value an allowance has been made for deterioration and obsolescence.
i. Good in transit
The risk and reward of the inventory transfers to customers once they have issued an analysis report confirming shipment has been accepted.
j. Leases
Leases are classified as operating leases and the rentals receivable or payable under these leases are credited or charged to the statement of income and retained earnings on a straight-line basis over the duration of the leases.
k. Going concern
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The financial position of the Company, its cash flows and liquidity position are described in the interim consolidated financial statements and notes. The Company has the financial resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date of the report.
4. TURNOVER AND OTHER INCOME

13. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate, foreign currency and equity price risks arises in the normal course of the Company's business. The Company's exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Company to manage these risks are described below.
a. Credit risk management
In order to minimize credit risk, credit approvals and monitoring procedures are in place to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts.
b. Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for management of the Company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
c. Market risk management - interest rate risk
The Company draws import loans to maintain stable cashflow. The loan is interest bearing at LIBOR+1.45%. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates. The Company's sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in LIBOR is as follow:

5% increase effect on profit
for the year (5,783) (4,402)
5% decrease effect on profit
for the year 5,783 4,402
d. Market risk management - foreign currency risk
The Company undertakes most of the transactions denominated in United States Dollar with few transactions denominated in Euro. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The Company's sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in Euro against United States Dollar is as follow:
Unaudited Audited
30.06.2023 31.12.2022
---------- ----------

for the year (68,934) (64,398)
5% decrease effect on profit
for the year 68,934 64,398
14. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit/(loss) for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. As the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been presented as a continuation of the existing group, the number of shares taken as being in issue for both the current and preceding periods are deemed to be the number of ordinary shares issued by Majestic Corporation Plc to acquire Majestic Corporation Limited in the share for share exchange. The weighted average number of shares is then adjusted to reflect changes in the number of ordinary shares issued in Majestic Corporation Limited that occurred during the previous period.
The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:
