Director's Statement
I am pleased to present the interim financial statements for Orient Telecoms Plc and its subsidiary undertaking, collectively referred to as "the Group," covering the six-month period ending on September 30, 2023.
Within this financial reporting period, the Group has recorded a net profit of GBP14,870, resulting in an earnings per share of 0.14 pence.
Introduction
Orient Telecoms Plc has continued to operate as a sophisticated fully managed overlay network service provider in the South East Asia Region during the past six months. This operational paradigm has conferred distinct advantages, reducing the imperative for substantial capital investments in proprietary network infrastructure, setting us apart from conventional telecommunications companies. Notably, the region has been characterized by an atmosphere of heightened anticipation and enthusiasm concerning the comprehensive deployment and expansion of 5G infrastructure and services by various cellular telecommunication operators.
Opportunities in 5G Infrastructure
The widespread rollout of 5G networks in our region has created exciting business opportunities for Orient Telecoms. Our Board is actively working on strategies to expand our range of managed services in line with the growing use of 5G technology. The increasing need for faster internet, driven by data-hungry apps, makes us a valuable provider of complete solutions. This lets telecom companies and businesses focus on what they do best while we handle their internet and tech needs.
Enhancing Services and Technology
Orient Telecoms has continued to exhibit an unwavering commitment to bolstering our product suite and managed service offerings. Our accomplished technology team is dedicated to the conception and implementation of a bespoke operating system engineered to optimize service management and operational efficacy for our esteemed clientele.
Exploration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
In consonance with evolving market dynamics, Orient Telecoms has embarked on a definitive expedition into the realm of AI-driven applications, poised to augment our extant service offerings. Preliminary negotiations with prospective collaborators for AI-centric projects are already underway, underscoring our relentless pursuit of innovation.
Marketing and Sales Initiatives
Throughout this reporting period, our organizational focus has remained steadfast on refining our marketing endeavours, characterized by an accentuated emphasis on digital marketing initiatives. Furthermore, we have augmentatively expanded our sales personnel roster, in a concerted effort to broaden our outreach and fortify our market presence.
Operational Excellence
Our main goal is to provide services that match what our customers need. We are strongly committed to making sure our customer support is top-notch, so the quality of our service always meets and often exceeds what our customers expect.
Outlook
Based on how well we've been doing and our strong predictions, Orient Telecoms expects to have a successful financial year ending in March 2024.
Responsibility Statement
The Board of Directors at Orient Telecoms Plc takes full responsibility for carefully preparing the interim financial statements. We follow the rules set by the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (DTR) and International Accounting Standard 34 on Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34), which is accepted by the European Union.
We hereby affirm that, to the best of our knowledge and expertise, the interim financial statements have been meticulously and diligently crafted in strict compliance with IAS 34, as enshrined by the European Union. These financial statements encompass a thorough, objective assessment of requisite information, as prescribed by DTR 4.2.7 and DTR 4.2.8, specifically including an elucidation of pivotal events that have transpired during the initial half of the fiscal year and their consequential ramifications on the interim financial statements.
Furthermore, the document provides a comprehensive overview of the principal risks and uncertainties foreseen in the latter half of the financial period. It also undertakes an in-depth analysis of significant related-party transactions in the initial six months, accompanied by any noteworthy modifications relative to the related-party transactions delineated in the antecedent annual report.

The COVID-19 pandemic lock downs in Malaysia which was implemented in March 2020 have since been removed as the country have reached its targeted immunization and with the easing of restriction businesses are moving towards normalisation. Hence, the Board sees significant opening up more opportunities for businesses.
The Company is already in an active discussion with some of the potential clients to secure new business in the forthcoming year.
The Company has enough cash balances to run its operations for next 24 months. The Company relies on outsourcing companies to perform its international service maintenance which helps the company to manage its cost better and also keep the lowest possible headcount on the payroll.
