CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

I am pleased to present the interim results for HRC World Plc for the six months ended 30 September 2025. This period marks a pivotal phase in our strategic evolution, as the Group has fully transitioned away from its legacy food and beverage operations to focus exclusively on our data centre facilities business through our subsidiary, HRC World Sdn Bhd. This strategic realignment reflects our commitment to capitalising on the growing demand for reliable, secure, and sustainable IT infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, building on the foundations outlined in our audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

 

During the period, our primary focus has been the advancement of Phase 1 of our data centre facilities in Subang Jaya, Kuala Lumpur, where we have commenced the design and development phase. We remain on track to complete the renovation, positioning the Group to offer high-resiliency co-location services, including server rack rentals and secure hosting solutions, to a broad customer base ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises to international operators.

 

In parallel with our operational progress, the Group has made meaningful strides in optimising its capital markets presence. On 26 August 2025, our ordinary shares commenced trading on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market ("AQSE") in the United Kingdom. This transition enhances the visibility and accessibility of our shares, streamlines our listing structure, and enables the Board and management to focus resources more efficiently on execution and growth, while ensuring continued seamless trading for shareholders through AQSE and CREST.

 

The Board remains optimistic about the Group's prospects as we continue to evaluate sustainable innovations, including renewable energy integration, to support the long-term efficiency and resilience of our data centre operations.

 

As we approach the festive season, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders, partners, employees, and stakeholders for their continued support and confidence in the Group. On behalf of the Board, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, a happy and restful holiday season, and a healthy, successful, and prosperous New Year. We look forward to sharing further updates as we progress towards our key operational milestones in 2026.

DIRECTORS' STATEMENT

 

During the reporting period, the Group recorded a net loss of $256,281, which reflects the costs associated with our business realignment and initial investments in our data centre initiatives. Despite this, we maintained a robust cash position of $1,984,247 as at 30 September 2025, providing a solid foundation for our ongoing development efforts.

 

While the Board remains optimistic about the Group's prospects, we acknowledge the presence of potential risks and uncertainties that could materially impact performance over the remaining six months of the financial year. These factors may result in deviations from both expected and historical results.

 

The Board confirms that there have been no material changes to the principal risks and uncertainties detailed in our Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025, which remains available on our website for stakeholders at: www.hrcplc.co.uk.

 

However, we acknowledge potential risks and uncertainties that could affect performance in the remaining six months of the financial year, including market volatility and operational challenges inherent in infrastructure development.

 

Responsibility Statement

 

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Condensed Interim Financial Statements in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ('DTR') and with International Accounting Standard 34 on Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34).

 

The directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, this condensed consolidated interim financial statement have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the United Kingdom. The interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7 and DTR 4.2.8, namely:

 

·    an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year; and

·    material related-party transactions in the first six months and any material changes in the related-party transactions described in the last annual report.

2.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of preparation

 

The consolidated financial information, which has not been audited, has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted for use by the United Kingdom, and effective, or issued and early adopted, as at the date of these statements. The consolidated financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified for financial assets carried at fair value.

 

This consolidated financial information is for the six-month period ended 30 September 2025. It does not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the period ended 31 March 2025 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period.

 

This interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies consistently with those of the annual report for year ended 31 March 2025.

 

Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

 

 

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.

 

Intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. Intra-group losses may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements.  Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group.



 

Presentational currency

 

The financial information has been presented in US Dollars ("$"), the Group's presentational currency, and rounded into thousands ($000) unless otherwise stated. The directors have chosen to present financial information in US Dollars due to the international exposure and shareholders of the entity.

 

 

3.   REVENUE

 

The Group's revenue is derived mainly from rental income through offering of its co-location services and server rack rentals.

 

There are no seasonal factors that materially affect the operations of the Group.

 

 

4.   INCOME TAX EXPENSE

 

The tax charge on the results has been calculated at the rates of tax prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates, based on existing legislation, interpretation and practices in respect thereof.
