We recently published our Interim Financial Statements for the

Takeover Transaction following the Company's announcement of
signing non-binding heads of agreement with the shareholders of
Zoyo Capital Limited("Zoyo") on 9 June 2021 and has established a
wholly owned subsidiary, Honye Trading Limited to assist with the
process. Honye Trading Limited has agreed contracts with a equities
trading platform white label provider, allowing the Company to gain
beneficial market intelligence prior to launching the Zoyo app post
RTO.
Honye Trading Limited, now is regulated under "Authorised
Representative" status and the Honye directors, Shaun Carew-Wootton
and Mr Yu Xing Liu (Terry) are regulated persons on the FCA
register.
The Covid-19 has had no impact on the current phase of work.
Your Board throughout this period has continued to work to
complete the prospectus submission with the FCA and finalise the
RTO.
The Company listing remains suspended on the standard segment of
the Official List and trading on the Main Market of the London
Stock, pending the publication of a prospectus providing further
detail on Zoyo and the Company as enlarged by the Acquisition, or
an announcement that the RTO is not proceeding.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated and registered in the Cayman
Islands as a private company limited by shares on 25 April 2018
under the Companies Law (as revised) of The Cayman Islands, with
the name Honye Financial Services Limited, and registered number
336262.
The Company's registered office is located at Ogier Global
(Cayman) Limited, 89 Nexus Way, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman, KY1-9901,
Cayman Islands.
2. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the Company is to undertake
acquisitions in a company or business principally in Europe and
Asia.
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
The new standards that have been adopted in the financial
statements for the period have not had significant effect on the
company.
There are a number of standards, amendments to standards, and
interpretations which have been issued by the IASB that are
effective in future accounting periods that the Company has decided
not to adopt early.
The following amendments are effective for the period beginning
1 August 2022:
-- Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments
to IAS 37);
-- Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use
(Amendments to IAS 16);
-- Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020 (Amendments
to IFRS 1, IFRS 4, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 16, IAS 39, and IAS 41);
and
-- References to Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS
3).
The following amendments are effective for the period beginning
1 August 2023:
-- Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and
IFRS Practice Statement 2);
-- Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8);
and
-- Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a
Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12).
The Directors do not believe these standards and interpretations
will have a material impact on the financial statements once
adopted.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Basis of preparation
These interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by
the United Kingdom and prepared under the historic cost convention.
The comparative figures as at 31 July 2022 have been extracted from
the Company's Financial Statements for that financial year, but do
not constitute these accounts.
The financial information is presented in Pounds Sterling (GBP),
which is the Company's functional currency.
A summary of the principal accounting policies of the Company
are set out below.
b) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. The Directors have considered the impact of the Covid-19
pandemic following the lifting of the Zero Covid-19 policy
announced by the Chinese government in December 2022 and the recent
invasion of the Ukraine on the Company, in the context of its
operations and the market it operates in.
As the Company has no existing business and its management
operates remotely the practical impact on the
Company has been minimal and it is able to continue to work on
the RTO without discernible disruption. At this stage, the
Directors do not envisage a long-term impact to the Company
resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic or the Ukrainian war but will
continue to monitor the situation.
The Company continue with the potential acquisition which, if
concluded would constitute a Reverse Take Over ("RTO") under the
Listing Rules. The RTO transaction is progressing well but is not
yet close to a conclusion.
We are optimistic that the RTO transaction will be concluded
successfully in the next couple of months but in the event that the
RTO is not successful the Company will ensure it has adequate
financial resources before embarking on an alternative
acquisition.
The Board recognizes that unplanned for costs can arise and that
existing costs can rise unexpectedly. The Board has planned its
finances on the basis of current known projected costs. Should the
RTO not happen, as there is no trading income, the prospect of
unexpected costs and cost increases give rise to material
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company's
ability to continue as a going concern and therefore that they may
be unable to realise their assets and discharge their liabilities
in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not
include adjustments that will result if the Company were unable to
continue as a going concern. Should such an eventuality arise the
Board will immediately explore the possibility of an urgent
fundraise with its brokers.
c) 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.
d) Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only
when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of
the instrument. 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.
Financial assets
All financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade
date where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a
contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within
the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are
initially measured at fair value.
Financial assets are subsequently classified into the following
specified categories: Financial assets measured at fair value
through profit and loss (FVTPL), Financial assets measured at
amortised cost and Financial assets measured at fair value through
other comprehensive income. The Company's financial assets measured
at amortised cost comprise cash and cash equivalents in the
statement of financial position.
Financial liabilities
The Company's financial liabilities include 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 obligation are discharged, cancelled or they
expire.
e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include 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.
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) Objectives and policies
The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market
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.
b) Currency risk
Currency risk is not considered to be material to the Company as
majority of bank transactions were incurred in Pounds Sterling
(GBP).
c) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default
on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the
Company.
Concentrations of credit risk exist to the extent that the
Company's cash were all held with DBS Bank. Per Standard &
Poor's - the Short Term Deposit Rating is A-1+.
d) 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.
e) Interest rate risks
The Company has limited exposure to interest rate risk on its
cash positions. Such exposures are managed as efficiently as
possible, given that working capital needs to be maintained. The
effect of a 100 basis points increase/decrease in interest rates
would not have a material impact on pre-tax profits or equity
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 the 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.
Honye Financial Services Limited has no activities at present
other than reviewing possible investment opportunities.
