Iafyds plc
("Iafyds" or the "Company")
Interim financial statements
For the six months ended 30 June 2014
Introduction
The Company was renamed and readmitted to AIM at the beginning
of the year as an Investment Company and since that time has sought
investment opportunities consistent with it Investment Policy,
which is set out below.
Despite a number of interesting opportunities none have yet
resulted in a transaction. The Directors remain hopeful that a
suitable opportunity will be identified before the listing is
suspended in February 2015.
Review of the business
Following the exit from administration at the end of 2013 and
the subsequent readmission of the shares to AIM on 7 February 2014,
Iafyds plc (formerly VPhase plc) no longer engages in any trading
activities and consequently the Company now constitutes an
Investing Company, as provided for by Rule 15 of the AIM Rules for
Companies issued by the London Stock Exchange.
The focus of the company since the new board was appointed on 7
February 2014 has been to help find and assess a suitable
acquisition for the Company, however the search for a new direction
coincided with a sharp increase in the number of Initial Public
Offerings on AIM which has reduced the number of private companies
looking for an AIM listing for their shares via a reverse
takeover.
Under AIM rules the Company has until 6 February 2015 to
complete a reverse takeover and should it fail to do so it is
likely that its quotation on AIM would be suspended for a further
six month period before the listing would then be cancelled.
Completion of CVA
Iafyds plc (previously VPhase plc) exited from administration on
27 December 2013 and entered into a Company Voluntary Arrangement
(CVA) with its creditors. The CVA process is under the authority of
BDO LLP who act as Supervisors of the CVA, ensuring that it adheres
to the agreed terms. Under the terms of the CVA, the Supervisors
will receive any dividend from VPhase Smart Energy Limited
("VSEL"), along with the agreed contribution from the February 2014
placing. These funds are ring-fenced for the CVA creditors and once
the Supervisors distribute these funds the CVA will be completed.
The dividend from VSEL is expected to be paid in the coming months
which will allow the CVA to be completed before the end of the
year. The completion of this process is in the hands of the
Supervisors and does not impact the Company's plans for any reverse
takeover.
Investing Policy
The Company's Investing Policy is to invest in businesses that
typically have attributed to them some or all of the following
criteria and characteristics:
-- Strong management;
-- An established entity or product in growth mode;
-- A differentiated product or offering;
-- A significant potential market opportunity; and
-- The ability to generate strong cash flows in the future.
The Company will initially focus on projects located in the
United Kingdom but will also consider investments in other
geographical regions in the future. The Company will consider all
sectors; however, the Directors recognise that there are sectors
which are unlikely to meet its investment criteria.
The Directors believe that their collective experience, together
with their extensive network of contacts, will assist the Company
in the identification, evaluation and funding of suitable
investment opportunities. When necessary, other external
professionals will be engaged to assist in the due diligence of
prospective opportunities. The Directors will also consider
appointing additional directors with relevant experience if the
need arises.
The objective of the Directors is to generate capital
appreciation and any income generated by the Company will be
applied to cover costs or will be added to the funds available to
further implement the investment policy. In view of this, it is
unlikely that the Directors will recommend a dividend in the early
years. However, they may recommend or declare dividends at some
future date depending on the financial position of the Company.
Any proposed investment to be made by the Company is likely to
be in just one investment which may be deemed to be a reverse
takeover under the AIM Rules, in which case shareholder approval
will be required. Investments will be made with a view to yielding
returns over the medium to long term.
Funding
On 30 June 2014 3,666,666,666 Ordinary Shares of 0.003pence were
issued to Henderson Global Investors ("Henderson") for
consideration of GBP110,000; this will cover the expected running
costs of the business to February 2015. Following this issue,
Henderson's interest in the share capital of the Company increased
to 89.8 per cent.
In the event Iafyds identifies a suitable acquisition further
funding would be required. In the event no such opportunity is
identified the available funding is expected to be required in full
to manage an orderly wind down of the Company's affairs.
Going concern
Due to the events occurring in 2013, the Group no longer
conducts its original trading activities and as a result of this
cessation of trade the condensed financial statements of the Group
are prepared on a basis other than going concern. Further details
are contained in Note 2.
Outlook
As the typical time to complete a reverse takeover is three
months, we recognise that the Group needs to identify and reach
agreement in principle with a suitable target by the end of autumn.
Failure to do so is likely to result in the Group's only asset, its
quotation, being lost.
Nevertheless the Directors remain hopeful a deal will
happen.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements
1. Accounting policies
Reporting entity
Iafyds plc ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (together 'the
Group') previously developed products that provide energy
efficiency solutions to certain identified problems in the energy
market. The Company is now an investment company. The addresses of
its registered office and principal place of business are disclosed
on page 11 of the Group Financial Statements. Iafyds plc is a
public limited company incorporated in England and Wales under the
Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
The information for the year ended 31 December 2013 does not
constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for that year
has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor
reported on those accounts; their report was modified but not
qualified, drawing attention to the material uncertainties
disclosed by the Directors regarding the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern in reference to the timeframe available
under AIM Rule 15.
The same accounting policies, presentations and methods of
computation are followed in the condensed set of financial
statements as applied in the Group's latest annual audited
financial statements. The unaudited condensed set of financial
statements included in this half-yearly financial report have been
prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard
34 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union.
These condensed interim accounts should be read in conjunction with
the annual accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 December
2013. The annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted by the European Union.
The Company's principal subsidiary, VPhase Smart Energy Limited,
ceased trading operations and entered into Administration, in
September 2013, resulting in loss of control. The comparatives for
the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of
cash flows for the six month period ended 30 June 2013 have been
restated to reflect the disclosure of the results of discontinued
operations.
2. Going concern
Due to the events occurring in 2013, the Group no longer
conducts its original trading activities and as a result of this
cessation of trade the condensed financial statements of the Group
are prepared on a basis other than going concern.
As stated, the Company reached an agreement with its creditors
and members to execute a CVA. This process is nearing completion
and the funds required to satisfy the CVA are under the control of
the Supervisors.
The Company raised sufficient funds during the last six months
to complete the CVA, through a share placing of GBP150,000 by
Henderson in February 2014, and fund the company's existence as an
investment shell, through a further placing by Henderson GBP110,000
in June 2014. Following the June 2014 investment, Henderson now own
89.8 per cent of the Company's shares.
The Company is forecast to have sufficient funds to continue as
an investment shell in the short-term. The Directors have
considered the Company's new investment policy strategy and remain
confident an acquisition can be made over the forthcoming period.
As stated above, in order to avoid suspension of its securities
from trading, AIM Rule 15 requires an investing company to make an
acquisition which constitutes a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14
or otherwise implement its investing policy to the satisfaction of
the London Stock Exchange within twelve months of the disposal
occurring. As a consequence there is a material uncertainty as to
whether the investing policy will be executed within the prescribed
timeframe, which may cast significant doubt on the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
