Unaudited Condensed Interim
Financial Statements
For the Period from 1(st) January 2019
to 30 June 2019
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
It is a pleasure to announce the interim results for the Company
which cover the six month period to 30 June 2019.
In April 2019, in my statement accompanying the Report and
Accounts for the year enbed 31 December 2018, I reported that the
Board continued to review acquisition opportunities and were
hopeful of progressing a transaction, although there was no
certainty at that stage that a transaction would be concluded in
the foreseeable future.
I can now report that the Board has been in discussions with a
third party for a number of months and due to the progress being
made believed a deal would be successfully concluded in the near
future. However, it is with regret that in the last few days we
received notification that the target company had decided not to
proceed with the transaction. This is clearly disappointing as
considerable time and cost had been incurred progressing this
opportunity. However, this has not weaked the Board's resolve to
continue to find a suitable acquisition opportunity for the
Company.
The Board remains mindful of preserving shareholder funds. At 30
June 2019 cash balances totalled GBP548,000 (31 December 2018:
GBP719,000).
On behalf of the Board I thank shareholders for their continued
support.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated and registered in Jersey as a
public company limited by shares on 17 June 2016 under the
Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, as amended, with the name Golden Rock
Global plc, and registered number 121560.
The Company's registered office is located at 11 Bath Street, St
Helier, JE2 4ST, Jersey.
2. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the Company is to seek acquisition
opportunities, initially focusing on the Fintech sector.
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
a) New interpretations and revised standards effective for the
period ended 30 June 2019
The Company has has applied the same accounting policies and
methods of computation in its interim financial statements as in
its 2018 annual financial statements, except for those that relate
to new standards and interpretations effective for the first time
for periods beginning on (or after) 1 January 2019, and will be
adopted in the 2019 annual financial statements. New standards
impacting the Company that will be adopted in the annual financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, and which have
given rise to changes in the Company's accounting policies are:
-- IFRS 16 Leases
Effective 1 January 2019, IFRS 16 has replaced IAS 17 Leases and
IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease.
IFRS 16 provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring the
recognition of assets and liabilities for all leases, together with
options to exclude leases where the lease term is 12 months or
less, or where the underlying asset is of low value. IFRS 16
substantially carries forward the lessor accounting in IAS 17, with
the distinction between operating leases and finance leases being
retained. As the Company does not have significant leasing
activities acting as a lessee or lessor, the Directors do not
anticipate any significant impact from the adoption of these new
standards.
b) Standards and interpretations in issue but not yet
effective
There are a number of standards and interpretations which have
been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that
are effective for periods beginning subsequent to 31 December 2019
(the date on which the company's next annual financial statements
will be prepared up to) that the Company has decided not to adopt
early. The Directors do not believe these standards and
interpretations will have a material impact on the financial
statements once adopted.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
4. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Basis of preparation
The condensed interim financial statements for the six months
ended 31 January 2019 were approved by the Board of Directors on 23
September 2019. The condensed interim financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency
Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and International
Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34) as
adopted by the European Union. The accounting policies applied by
the company in these condensed interim financial statements are the
same as those set out in the company's Annual Report and Accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2018. No material new standards,
amendments to standards or interpretations are effective in the
period ending 30 June 2019.
The condensed interim financial statements are unaudited and
have not been reviewed by the auditors. The financial information
for the year ended 31 December 2018 does not constitute the
Company's statutory financial statements. The Company's statutory
financial statements for that year have been filed with the Jersey
Registrar of Companies and received an unqualified auditor's
report.
The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on
the going concern basis which assumes that the company will
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future on the
grounds that the Director will continue to financially support the
company until such time has the business achieves financial
viability. The company financial statements do not reflect any
adjustments that would be required if they were to be prepared on a
basis other than the going concern basis.
The financial information is presented in Pounds Sterling (GBP),
which is the Company's functional and presentational currency.
b) Foreign currency translation
The financial statements of the Company are presented in the
currency of the primary environment in which the Company operates
(its functional currency).
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 year
end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies are recognised in profit and loss.
c) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the
Statement of Financial Position when the Company becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and
financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities
(other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the
fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as
appropriate, on initial recognition.
Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of
financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
4. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
Impairment of financial assets
An assessment for impairment is undertaken when there is
objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. Impairment
loss on financial assets is recognised when there is objective
evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all the
amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the
receivables. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the
difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present
value of estimated future cash flows.
Financial liabilities
The Company's financial liabilities include amounts due to
shareholders and other payables and accruals. Financial liabilities
are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
provision of the
instrument. All financial liabilities are recognised initially
at their fair value, net of transaction costs, and subsequently
measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method,
unless the effect of discounting would be insignificant, in which
case they are stated at cost.
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only
when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they
expire.
d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held
on call with banks and other short term (having maturity within 3
months) highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into
known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value.
e) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
during the period plus the dilutive effect of dilutive potential
ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
5. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Preparation of financial information in conformity with IFRS
requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates
and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and
various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making
judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources.
It is the Directors' view that there are no significant areas of
estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying
accounting policies that have significant effect on the amount
recognised in the financial information for the period.

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
a) Categories of financial instruments
The carrying amounts and fare value of the Company's financial
assets and liabilities as at the end of the reporting year are as
follows:

and cash equivalents) 548,671 773,172

Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities at amortised cost - -
--------------- ---------------
b) Financial risk management objectives and policies.
The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market
risk (including interest rate risk and currency risk), credit risk
and liquidity risk. The risk management policies employed by the
Company to manage these risks are discussed below. The primary
objectives of the financial risk management function are to
establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risk stays
within these limits. The operational and legal risk management
functions are intended to ensure proper functioning of internal
policies and procedures to minimise operational and legal
risks.
i) Interest rate risks
All cash holdings and cash equivalents are held in accounts with
variable rates.
ii) Currency risks
The Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations as
transactions are undertaken denominated in foreign currencies.
At 30 June 2019 the Company had GBP475,889 cash and cash
equivalents in a Hong Kong Dollar account. At 30 June 2019, had the
exchange rate between the Pound Sterling and the Hong Kong Dollar
increased/decreased by 10%, the effect on the result in the period
would be a gain of GBP43,000/ loss of GBP43,000.
iii) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on
its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the
Company. Credit allowances are made for estimated losses that have
been incurred by the reporting date.
Concentrations of credit risk exist to the extent that the
Company's cash balances were all held with China Merchants Bank.
Per Standard & Poor's, the Short Term Foreign / Local Currency
Deposit Rating is A-2.
iv) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter
difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial
liabilities. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to
ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and
stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or
risking damage to the Company's reputation.
The Company's financial liabilities are primarily amounts due to
shareholders. The amounts are unsecured,
interest-free and repayable on demand.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
7. SEGMENT REPORTING
IFRS 8 defines operating segments as those activities of an
entity about which separate financial information is available and
which are evaluated by the Board of Directors to assess performance
and determine the allocation of resources. The Board of Directors
are of the opinion that under IFRS 8 the Company has only one
operating segment and one geographic market in UK. The Board of
Directors assess the performance of the operating segment using
financial information which is measured and presented in a manner
consistent with that in the Financial Statements. Segmental
reporting will be reviewed and considered in light of the
development of the Company's business over the next reporting
period.

9. TAXATION
The Company is incorporated in Jersey, and its activities are
subject to taxation at a rate of 0%.
10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share
information for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share are
calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the reporting period. Diluted
earnings per share are determined by adjusting the profit or loss
attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all
dilutive potential ordinary shares.
There is no difference between the basic and diluted earnings
per share, as the Company has no potential ordinary shares.

to issue 10,000 shares of GBP1 each. The total issued shares on
incorporation were 100 shares of GBP1 each.
On 19 October 2016, it was resolved to subdivide the Company's
share capital by a ratio of 1:100, so that the shares had a nominal
value of GBP0.01 per share. It was also resolved to increase the
authorised share capital from 1,000,000 share of GBP0.01 each to
48,000,000 shares of GBP0.01 each.
On 20 October 2016, a total of 15,990,000 ordinary shares of
GBP0.01 each were issued by way of placing with institutional and
other investors at a placing price of GBP0.10 per placing share for

of the shares issued was credited to the share premium account.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
12. SHARE CAPITAL (CONT'D)
The issued shares have nominal value of each share of GBP0.01
and are fully paid. There are no restrictions on the distribution
of dividends and the repayment of capital.
13. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able
to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to
shareholders through the optimisation of the balance between debt
and equity.
The capital structure of the Company as at 30 June 2019
consisted of equity attributable to the equity holders of the
Company, totalling GBP477,140 (disclosed in the statement of
changes in equity).
The Company reviews the capital structure on an on-going basis.
As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital
and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Company
will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of
dividends, new share issues and the issue of new debt or the
repayment of existing debt.
14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The remuneration of the Directors, the key management personnel
of the Company, is set out in note 8.
