The group’s vision is to operate as a conglomerate to build synergy within its own sustainable ecosystem thereby creating value to its shareholders, today announced its unaudited operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
2019 Interim Results Overview
Revenue
Our Interim sales were $2.77 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which increased by $2.49 million, or 901.8% from $0.28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we through 11 Hau Fook Street Limited, Vision Lane Limited and Paris Sky Limited earned property lease and management income of $0.59 million and through Giant Credit Limited and First Asia Finance Limited earned money lending service income of $2.18 million.
Gross gain (loss)
Gross profit was $2.04 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a gross loss of $0.44 million same period of 2018.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses amounted to approximately $3.36 million for six months ended June 30, 2019, $1.17 million or 53.6% higher than $2.19 million for same period of 2018. This increase was mainly because we acquired subsidiaries which incurred more administrative expenses in 1H of 2019.
General and administrative expenses include office staff salary and benefits, legal, professional fees, office expenses, travel expenses, entertainment, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, research and development and similar costs.
Gain (Loss) on change in fair value of warrant derivative liability
Our loss on change in fair value of warrant derivative liability was $0.04 million in 1H of 2019, compared to gain on change in fair value of warrant derivative liability of $0.16 million for same period of 2018. The loss was due to fluctuation in the fair value of our warrants, which we issued to our investor and placement agent in May 2017.
Provision for Income tax (benefit)
Provision for Income tax was $0.27 million for six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to income tax benefit of $0.41 million for same period of 2018. Income tax benefit in 1H 2019 and 2018 was related to the deferred tax impact on amortization of intangible assets of Boca.
There were no significant income tax rate changes for any of our legal entities in the 1H 2019. Our PRC entities in 2019 and 2018 were subject to the statutory PRC enterprise income tax rate of 25%. Our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong taxation on income derived from their activities conducted in Hong Kong at a rate of 16.5%.
Net loss and loss per share
Net loss for the 1H 2019 was $1.28 million, compared to a net loss of $1.13 million for the same period in 2018. Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.02 in the 1H 2019 based on a weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares of 78,369,553, as compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.06 based on a weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares of 18,930,849 for the first half of 2018.
Cash and working capital
SGOCO held $8.40 million cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019, compared to $14.34 million as of December 31, 2018. Working capital increased to $73.96 million as of June 30, 2019 from $72.53 million as of December 31, 2018.
