Chairman and Chief Executive Officer's statement
I have great pleasure in presenting the results for Majestic
Corporation Limited ("Majestic" -or "the Company") for the year
ended 31 December 2021. Majestic is the wholly owned subsidiary of
Majestic Corporation Plc (together the Group), which was
incorporated on 10 December 2021.
Majestic continues to be a leading non-ferrous metal and
precious metals recycler with partnership ventures operating in
eight countries and growing. It is through these key partnerships
and our network, that we work to increase our presence across all
countries to improve global sustainability as well as increase the
value to our shareholders.
At our core, we are urban miners, working alongside suppliers
and consumers committed to closing the loop on recycling to achieve
a more sustainable and green future.
Our capital allocation has been focused on two main areas -
investing in partnerships to secure long-term contracts and
investing in equipment to recover greater yields from our
inventories and technology in procuring inventory at the right
price.
Ever since China implemented the National Sword policy, in
January 2018, banning the importation of certain types of metals
and imposed national tariffs between the United States, Europe and
China, our team has shifted and broadened our customer base as well
as strengthening our partnerships across the globe.
Highlights
Following the listing of Majestic Corporation Plc on AQSE in
March, I see clear opportunities for the Group and I am delighted
to announce a new facility in Deeside, UK which is expected to be
fully operational in 2022. This move fits into our long-term
strategic objectives of deepening partnerships and expanding our
presence in our current markets.
Financial Highlights
The year-end marks the first trading results following the
successful listing of the company to the AQSE exchange in March
2022.
2021 has been an excellent year for Majestic and I am pleased to
report yet another year of strong operational and financial
results. Revenue up from US$27.5m to US$29.7m, largely driven by
improvements in market prices for materials and the strengthening
of key partnerships within our network.
Not only did we deliver another year of excellent results, but
we also further advanced and solidified growth plans with all our
partners putting us in a better position to succeed in the future.
The Company has retained a strong cash position at year end with
cash at bank increasing to US$2.5m (2020: US$2.3m).
Underlying earnings before tax of US$853k was up 103% (2020:
US$419k). Net Profit after Tax of US$735k was up 97%
(2020:US$374k). For year ended 31 December 2021, the company has
decided not to pay a dividend.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and Hong Kong

prepared on a going concern basis.
3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS

The application of the new and revised IFRSs has no material

4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
a. Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical
cost basis.
b. Revenue recognition
Revenue from the sales of goods is recognised when control of
the goods has transferred, being when the goods have been shipped
to the customer's specific location. Follow delivery, the customer
has full discretion over the usage of the goods, has the primary
responsibility when onselling the goods and bears the risks in
relation to the goods. A receivable is recognised by the Company
when the goods are delivered to the customers as this represents
the point in time at which the right to consideration becomes
unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before
payment is due.
Interest income is recognised as other income as it accrues
using the effective interest method .
c. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in
which they are incurred.
d. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and other
short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less.
e. Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated at estimated realisable
value after each debt has been considered individually. Where the
payment of a debt becomes doubtful a provision is made and charged
to the income statement.
f. Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at the
transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method.
g. Translation of foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions during the period are translated
into United States Dollars at the exchange rates ruling at the
transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated into United States Dollars at the
market rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Exchange
gains and losses on foreign currency translation are dealt with in
the statement of income and retained earnings.
h. Taxation
Income tax expense represents current tax expense. The income
tax payable represents the amounts expected to be paid to the tax
authority, using the tax rates that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is
not provided.
i. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable
value. In arriving at net realisable value an allowance has been
made for deterioration and obsolescence.

receivable or payable under these leases are credited or charged to
the statement of income and retained earnings on a straight line
basis over the duration of the leases.
k. Employee benefits
Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to
defined contribution plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits
are accrued in the period in which the associated services are
rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and
the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their
present values.
Termination benefits are recognized when, and only when, the
Group demonstrably commits itself to terminate employment or to
provide benefits as a result of voluntary redundancy by having a
detailed formal plan which is without realistic possibility of
withdrawal.
l. Government grants
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for
expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving

costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they
become receivable.
