CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
As the Chairman of Radiant Growth Investments Limited ("Company"), I am pleased once again to report to our Shareholders for the year ended 31st July 2014.
While the investment climate in the oil and gas, energy and mining sectors remains favourable and although our relations with the Malaysian administration remains good, decision making is slow and this is especially so in respect of some of the other countries which we are targeting, specifically Vietnam and Cambodia.
Oil and gas
An update was given to the market on 20th August 2014 concerning our agreement with Rancang Istemewa Sdn. Bhd. ("RISB") to manage a multi-buoy mooring system which is designed to deliver natural gas to ocean going tankers and is due to be constructed at a proposed gas separation plant at Songkhla in Thailand. As was then announced, this agreement and in consequence the repayment of the deposit we made has been extended and will now continue until 3rd June 2015.
Energy
As I reported at this time last year, monies have been deposited with RISB for its proposed waste to energy projects. The systems we are involved in convert solid waste to syngas which is then used to power turbines creating electricity for sale to local and or national governments.
In Sri Lanka and Cambodia, discussions with the relevant parties in those two countries continue.
In Malaysia the assessment of suitable locations for the construction and operation of five plants capable of processing 1000 tons of waste per day is continuing following meetings with the Malaysian Department of Energy. This follows meetings that RISB had with the Energy Minister in 2012.
In Vietnam, as indicated in our last interim report, we decided to discontinue discussions with the relevant authorities concerning waste to energy projects we had been discussing for some time. However as indicated in our "Update to the market" on 20th August 2014, we were advised by RISB that the discussions they were having with relevant parties in Vietnam were worth continuing despite the difficulty in obtaining all the permissions required. Therefore in the belief that the project remains viable we took a decision that it was in the best interests of our shareholders to extend the conditional period for the project and thereby extend the repayment period of the funds advanced to RISB until 2nd July 2015.
Mining
As reported at this time last year we have an agreement with Swissbay Holdings Sdn. Bhd. ("Swissbay") to mine iron ore in Kelantan, Malaysia. Although this agreement still remains in place we have not yet heard from Swissbay that they have received a letter of approval from the State Government enabling them to lease the land in question so that they can proceed with the project.
In 2012 a deposit of RM 3.52 million (GBP0.65 million) was paid for the purchase of iron ore. At the time that this deposit was paid I indicated that your Company was acting as an agent for the sale of iron ore to another company based in China. Although the iron ore was delivered to the purchaser during the last financial year, your Company received no payment from the Chinese company. In consequence we instructed our lawyers in Malaysia to demand the payment of USD937,000 and RM600,000 that was advanced pursuant to the two Letters of Guarantee dated March and April 2012. This demand for repayment was duly undertaken by our lawyers on 23rd of July 2014. Whilst legal action is taking place to recover these amounts, we have made a provision against this deposit in these financial statements, as a precautionary measure; however we fully expect to be able to recover our deposit in the coming months.
CHANGE OF NOMINATED ADVISER
As announced on 7 November 2014, Daniel Stewart & Company Plc has tendered its resignation as our nominated adviser, effective as of 4 December 2014. The Company has not yet appointed another nominated adviser and so it is likely that trading on AIM in the Company's shares will be suspended on this date. If a nominated adviser is not appointed by 4 January 2015 then trading on AIM in the Company's shares will be cancelled.
Outlook
Despite the best efforts of your directors to move our projects forward, progress in the past year has been slow and continues to be slow. We remain confident however that in the long term the benefits to our shareholders will be worthwhile. We continue to review other new projects but we have not as yet found one that we feel would be in the interests of our shareholders.
The directors believe that we have sufficient funds to meet our operating expenses for the next twelve months.
Finally I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Board Directors for their ongoing advice in the past year and also would like to express my appreciation to our staff who continue to work hard and with due diligence on behalf of your company. Again I look forward with confidence that our ongoing projects will reach fruition for the benefit of our shareholders.
Dato' Sri Dr. Alex Teh Chee Teong.
Chairman
1 December 2014
INVESTMENT POLICY
The Company's Investment Policy is to invest in or acquire one or more companies, partnerships, joint ventures, or businesses in the Asia Pacific region in the mining, oil and gas, energy and utility and palm oil and other natural oil sectors. The investments or acquisitions may be funded wholly by cash, the issue of new shares or debt, or a mix thereof, as the Directors deem appropriate. The Company's equity interest in a proposed investment may range from a minority position to 100 per cent ownership; the proposed investments may be either quoted or unquoted, although will likely to be unquoted in the majority of cases.
The Company will specifically make investments which the Directors believe offer high growth opportunities, utilising the Company's access to capital markets to help fund the requirements of the investment target. It is anticipated that the investments will be held for the long term but the Directors will place no minimum or maximum limit on the length of time that any investment may be held, so that short term disposal of investments cannot be ruled out in exceptional circumstances. The Company intends to deliver Shareholder returns through capital growth. As such, the Board do not envisage the distribution of dividends in the short to medium term.
The Company intends to be an involved and active investor. Accordingly, where necessary, the Company may seek participation in the day to day management through board representatives in an entity in which the Company invests with a view to seeking to improve the performance and use of its assets in order to grow the business. The Board may appoint consultants or independent industry experts or other representatives to represent the Company in managing the investments it makes and/or their business operations.
Despite considerable efforts, the Company has not substantially implemented its investing policy within eighteen months of admission. Accordingly, the Directors will seek the consent of its shareholders for its investing policy at the coming annual general meeting and on an annual basis thereafter, until such time that its investing policy has been substantially implemented. If it appears unlikely that the Investment Policy can be implemented at any time, the Directors may consider returning any remaining funds to the Shareholders.
The Directors consider that as investments are made, and new opportunities arise, further funding of the Company will be required.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 July 2014
1 General information
Radiant Growth Investments Limited (the "Company") is a company incorporated in Jersey under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (the "Act") on 6 July 2011. The Company is governed by its articles of association and the principal statute governing the Company is the Act. The Company is domiciled and has its registered office in Jersey and the Company's registration number is 108544.
The Company's place of business is Malaysia.
These financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling ("GBP"), this being the Company's functional and presentational currency, and rounded to the nearest thousand ("000"). The functional currency of the Company is the Pound Sterling ("GBP") because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company raises funds.
Financial statements of the Company are prepared by and approved by the Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and their interpretations issued or adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board, as adopted by the European Union ("IFRSs"). The Company's accounting reference date is 31 July.
These financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 1 December 2014.
2 Summary of significant accounting policies 2.1 Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies applied by the Company in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below and have been applied consistently.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with IFRS.
2.2 Going concern
The financial statements of the Company are prepared on a going concern basis. In common with many similar companies, the Company raises finance for their investment activities mainly based in Asia Pacific region.
The Company successfully raised via a share placing, GBP300,000 of working capital during the year. At the year end the Company had GBP199,000 of cash balances and will need to raise additional funding or require the return of its deposits with third parties to meet its working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
The Directors believe that the Company will be able to raise as required, sufficient cash to enable it to continue its operations, and continue to meet, as and when they fall due, its liabilities for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. For this reason the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.
However, there can be no guarantee that the required funds will be raised or deposits repaid within the necessary timeframe, consequently a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue to operate as planned and to be able to meet its commitments and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for a period not less than twelve months from the date of this report. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Company was unable to continue in operation.
2.3 Segmental reporting
For the purposes of IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' the Company currently has one segment, being investing in the Natural Resources sector in the Asia Pacific region. No further operating segment financial information is therefore disclosed.
2.4 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentational currency
Items included in the financial statements of the entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The functional currency of the entity is Pounds Sterling ("GBP").
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
2.5 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents (readily convertible into a known amount of cash) include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents are as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Fixed deposits secured against bank loans are shown separately on the statement of financial position as they do not meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents.
2.6 Loans and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value, which is usually the original invoiced amount plus transaction costs, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less provisions made for impairment of receivables.
2.7 Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value, which is usually the original invoiced amount, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.8 Taxation
Deferred tax is provided in full using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects either accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or when the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
2.9 Equity instruments
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are recognised in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
2.10 Share-based payments
The fair value of options and warrants granted is recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the holders become unconditionally entitled to the options and warrants. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options and warrants that vest.
For equity settled share-based payment transactions other than transactions with employees the Company measures the goods or services received at their fair value, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If this is the case the Company measures their fair values and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of equity instruments granted. Fair value is measured by use of an appropriate model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Radiant Growth Investments Limited. The charge is adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the actual number of forfeitures and cancellations during the period. The movement in cumulative charges since the previous balance sheet is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding entry in equity.
2.11 Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted
Certain changes to IFRS will be applicable for the Company's accounts in future periods. To the extent that the Company has not adopted these early in the current financial statements, they will not affect the Company's reported profit or equity but they may affect disclosures.
As at the date of approval of these financial statements, the following standards and interpretations were in issue but not yet effective:
IAS 27 "Separate Financial Statements (2011)"
IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011)"
IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"
IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements"
IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities"
Amendments to IAS 32 "Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities"
Amendments to IAS 12 "Deferred Tax: recovery of Underlying Assets"
Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 "Investment Entities"
Amendments to IAS 36 "Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets"
IFRIC 21 "Levies"
IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments (Hedge Accounting and amendments to IFRS 9, IFRS 7 and IAS 39)"
Amendments to IAS 19 "Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions"
Numerous other minor amendments to standards have been made as a result of the IASB's annual improvement project.
The Directors do not anticipate that the adoption of these standards in future years will have a material impact on the financial statements in the year of adoption and have decided not to adopt them early.
2.12 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Estimates and judgements need to be regularly evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, rarely equal the related actual results.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years.
The estimate significant to the financial statements during the year and at the year end is the consideration of impairment of financial assets, as set out in the relevant accounting policy.

As discussed in previous statements, the Company proposes to invest in RISB, a Malaysian company that has been established to manage a multi-buoy mooring system that will be constructed at the border between Thailand and Malaysia at the gas separation plant at Songkhla, Thailand which will deliver Natural Gas Liquids directly to ocean-going tankers ('Gas Project'). A total deposit of GBP2.51 million has been placed with RISB in relation to the Gas Project.
RISB is also the entity which will be participating in the waste-to-energy project in Vietnam ('Energy Project'). A total deposit of GBP1.82 million has been placed with RISB to enable the Company to participate in the Energy Project. RISB is obligated to return these funds on 2 July 2015 in the event that Energy Project does not proceed.
A deposit of GBP0.65 million has been paid for the purchase of iron ore in the previous financial years. Radiant Growth is acting as an agent on the sale of iron ore to a company based in China. As a result of the non-payment for the delivery, the Company has commenced legal action to recover the deposit paid. Whilst legal action is taking place to recover these amounts, we have made a provision against this deposit in these financial statements as a precautionary measure; however we fully expect to be able to recover our deposit in the coming months.
In the previous financial period, the Company discovered a potential opportunity to invest in an iron ore mining project situated in Malaysia and entered into a preliminary agreement with Swissbay Holdings Sdn Bhd (Swissbay), a company incorporated in Malaysia, which has obtained preliminary approval from the State of Kelantan to lease a piece of land located in Malaysia, for the purpose of iron ore mining. The consideration for entry into the agreement was RM1 million (GBP0.19 million). The advance has been used to help secure the lease and associated mineral rights following which, work will be undertaken to further evaluate the project. Swissbay is currently waiting for the letter of approval from the State Government to lease the Designated Land to be used for an iron ore mine. Once the conditions of the agreement have been met the company has the right to subscribe for 46% of the ordinary share capital of Swissbay, a related party (see note 13 to the financial statements).

Expected volatility is estimated by considering the Company's share price since admission to AIM.
None of the warrants have been exercised during the year.
12 Contingencies
There were no contingent liabilities at 31 July 2014.
13 Related party transactions
During the previous financial year, the Company deposited RM1 million (GBP0.19 million) to Swissbay Holding Sdn Bhd (Swissbay) a company incorporated in Malaysia for the purpose of entering into an iron ore mining agreement in which Dato' Sri Alex Teh, a director of the Company is also a director of Swissbay (see also note 8 above).
The directors are of the opinion that the related party transaction was entered into in the normal course of business and was based on negotiated and mutually agreed terms.
14 Capital commitments
The Company had no contracted capital commitments at 31 July 2014.
15 Financial risk management
The Company's activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate risk, currency risk and commodity price risk). The Company's overall risk management strategy seeks to minimise adverse effects from the volatility of financial markets on the Company's financial performance.
The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the objectives and underlying principles of financial risk management for the Company. The Company management then establishes the detailed policies such as risk identification and measurement, exposure limits and hedging strategies, in accordance with the objectives and underlying principles approved by the Board of Directors.
There has been no change to the Company's exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk. Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis indicated below.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and does not hold any collateral as security over its customers. The Company's major classes of financial assets are deposits made to third parties and cash and cash equivalents.
As at the end of the financial year, the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised in the statements of financial position.
As at 31 July 2014, substantially all the cash and bank balances as detailed in notes 9 to the financial statements, are held in major financial institutions which are regulated and located in Hong Kong, which management believes are of high credit quality. The management does not expect any losses arising from non-performance by these counterparties.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date of the Company is as follows:
2014 2013
GBP'000 GBP'000
Other receivables deposits, and prepayments 4,574 5,635
Cash and cash equivalents 199 397
4,773 6,032
======== ========
Currency risk
Currency risk arises from a change in foreign currency exchange rate, which is expected to have adverse effect on the Company in the current reporting year and in future years.
The Company maintains its books and accounts in its functional currency. As a result, the Company is subject to transaction and translation exposures resulting from currency exchange rate fluctuations. It is, and has been throughout the current financial period the Company's policy that no derivatives shall be undertaken except for the use as hedging instruments where appropriate and cost-efficient.
