Allied Tech's audited statements reveals $30m net loss for FY2018

This was blamed on an impairment loss of $31.27m from the acquisition of Asia Box Office.

Allied Technology reported an audited $30m net loss during the FY2018 period, after its unaudited accounts declared $2.16m of net profit, an SGX filing revealed.

This was blamed on an impairment loss of $31.27m to write-down the carrying amount of goodwill arising from the acquisition of its subsidiary Asia Box Office and Activpass Holdings (Activpass).

The firm’s audited revenues also went down to $125.9m, as compared to the unaudited $126.6m, which was attributed to reclassification of an income from consultancy services that ABO provided to the principal in relation to an international sporting event for a consideration of $891,387 (US$660,000).

The group acquired a 51% stake in ABO on 4 April. AllideTech pro-rated the fees to be received, and $668,540 of the consultancy fee received was reclassified to other income.

In May, its client JLC Advisors has failed to pay $33.15m of escrow funds.

“The company is currently taking all steps necessary to recover the Escrow Funds from JLC,” AlliedTech said in the report.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
