TCFD pillar | Recommended Disclosure | Cellular Goods Summary |
Governance | The Board's supervision of risks and opportunities associated with climate-related factors. | The Board of Directors exercises oversight over climate-related issues, integrating them within the broader framework of governance. |
Strategy | The influence of climate-related risks and opportunities on the business, strategic decisions, and financial planning. | The Board are aware that air transportation has higher carbon emissions compared to sea transportation. Therefore, starting from 2023, the company are gradually transitioning our transportation method from air to sea freight. |
Risk Management | The company’s protocols for effectively managing climate-related risks. | The process of identifying climate-related risks is seamlessly integrated into our regular operations. Although we may not have a dedicated task force, every team member is accountable for |
considering climate-related risks within their specific areas of responsibility. This decentralized approach guarantees that climate considerations are incorporated into our day-to-day decision-making processes. Given our small team size, collaboration plays a vital role. We regularly facilitate cross-functional discussions to collectively evaluate climate-related risks. By leveraging the expertise of each team member, we ensure a comprehensive understanding of potential impacts on our supply chain, production, and market dynamics. This collaborative effort cultivates a shared awareness of the challenges posed by climate-related factors. | ||
Metrics and targets | Metrics used by the organization to assess climate related risks and opportunities in line with its strategy and risk management process. | The carbon capture initiative entails goals for mitigating emissions and actively contributing to wider climate initiatives. These metrics underscore the Company’s steadfast dedication to comprehensive sustainability practices throughout its diverse business portfolio. |
• | given the size of the Board, certain provisions of the Corporate Governance Code (in particular the provisions relating to the composition of the Board and the division of responsibilities between the Chairman and chief executive and executive compensation), are not being complied with by the Company as the Board considers these provisions to be inapplicable to the Company; |
• | given the size of the Board, the board has not established an audit committee, a remuneration committee and a nomination committee comprising at least one non-executive director in each committee. The Board is taking the responsibilities to review audit and risk matters, as well as the Board’s size, structure and composition and the scale and structure of the directors’ fees, taking into account the interests of Shareholders and the performance of the Company, and will take responsibility for the appointment of auditors and payment of their audit fee, monitor and review the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and take responsibility for any formal announcements on the Company’s financial performance. |
• | the Corporate Governance Code recommends the submission of all directors for re-election at annual intervals. None of the directors will be required to retire by rotation and be submitted for re-election; and |
• | the Board has complied with the provision of the Corporate Governance Code that at least half of the Board, excluding the Chairman, should comprise non-executive directors determined by the Board to be independent. |
- | Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; | |
- | Make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; | |
- | State whether applicable IFRSs have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and | |
- | Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. |
- | the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and loss of the Group and parent company; and | |
- | the Annual Report and financial statements, including the Business review, includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Group, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that they face. |
| give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its loss for the year then ended; and | |
| have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). |
| We obtained an understanding of the Group and the sector in which they operate to identify laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a direct effect on the Group financial statements. We obtained our understanding in this regard through discussions with management, and application of our cumulative audit knowledge and experience of the sector. | |
| We determined the principal laws and regulations relevant to the Group in this regard to be those arising from LSE Listing Rules, Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, Cayman Islands laws and local regulations, like local Companies Ordinances, local tax laws and local employment laws applicable to the subsidiaries. | |
| We designed our audit procedures to ensure the audit team considered whether there were any indications of non-compliance by the Group with those laws and regulations. These procedures |
included, but were not limited to: enquiries of management, review of board minutes and Regulatory News Service (RNS) announcements and review of legal and regulatory correspondence. | |
| We also identified the risks of material misstatement of the Group financial statements due to fraud. We considered, in addition to the non-rebuttable presumption of a risk of fraud arising from management override of controls, that the potential for management bias was identified in relation to the impairment assessment of trade and other receivables. We addressed this by challenging the assumptions and judgements made by management when evaluating any indicators of impairment. |
| As in all of our audits, we addressed the risk of fraud arising from management override of controls by performing audit procedures which included but were not limited to: the testing of journals; reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
| We engaged with our component auditors to ensure they assessed whether there were any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations at a local level and ensured they reported any such breached or concerns to us. None were noted at the component or Group level. |

4. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
(a) | Basis of consolidation |
● | Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee) | |
● | Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee | |
● | The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns |
● | The contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee | |
● | Rights arising from other contractual arrangements | |
● | The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights |
(i) | Business combinations |
The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities. | |
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. | |
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. |
(ii) | Subsidiaries |
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. |
4. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
(a) | Basis of consolidation (Continued) |
(iii) | Loss of control |
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. |
(iv) | Transactions eliminated on consolidation |
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investee are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. |
(b) | Revenue recognition |
Revenue is recognised to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Group uses a 5-step approach to revenue recognition: |
Step 1: | Identify the contract(s) with a customer; | |
Step 2: | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; | |
Step 3: | Determine the transaction price; | |
Step 4: | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | |
Step 5: | Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Group recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when “ control” of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to customers. | |
A performance obligation represents a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same. | |
Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met: |
- | the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the Group performs; | |
- | the Group’s performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or | |
- | the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. |
Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct good or service. | |
A contract asset represents the Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods and services that the Group has transferred to a customer that is not unconditional. It is assessed for impairment in accordance with IFRS 9. In contrast, a receivable represents the Group’s unconditional right to consideration, i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. |
4. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
(b) | Revenue recognition (Continued) |
A contract liability represents the Group’s obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. | |
A contract asset and a contract liability relating to a contract are accounted for and presented on a net basis. | |
Revenue from e-commerce service is recognised when the performance obligation is satisfied. Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis using the effective interest method. |
(c) | Government grants |
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset. | |
When the Group receives grants of non-monetary assets, the asset and the grant are recorded at nominal amounts and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the asset, based on the pattern of consumption of the benefits of the underlying asset by equal annual instalments. |
(d) | Foreign currency transactions |
(i) | Functional and presentational currency |
Items included in the Financial Statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”), being British Pound Sterling (“GBP” or “£”), Chinese Yuan (“CNY”) and Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”). The Group Financial Statements are presented in GBP. |
(ii) | Transactions and balances |
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the Statement of Financial Position date. 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 the Statement of Comprehensive Income. |
4. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
(d) | Foreign currency transactions (Continued) |
(iii) | Group companies |
- | the contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that statement of financial position; | |
- | income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates; and | |
- | all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income (loss). |
