Brief explanation of Key Information and Dividends
The Company is partnering with Mastercard to build the HomeSend
global payments hub. HomeSend enables cross-border transfer
between bank accounts, cards, mobile wallets, or cash outlets
from anywhere in the world. As a founding partner in the HomeSend
hub, Wameja helped conceive and bring the opportunity to market.
HomeSend is a joint venture of Wameja (35.26%) and Mastercard
(64.74%).
The net result of the consolidated entity for the half year
ended 30 June 2021 was a loss after tax for the period of $3.405
million (2020: $3.205 million loss). Loss per share was 0.3
cents (2020: loss per share 0.3 cents).
During the period, there was a net cash outflow of $5.700 million
(2020 year: net outflow of $6.45m) primarily resulting from
a net outflow from investing activities (mainly in relation
to investment to HomeSend) of $4.955 million. Cash at 30 June
2021 was $2.326 million.
On 10 September 2020, Wameja Limited entered into a Scheme Implementation
Agreement with Burst Acquisition Co. Pty Ltd, a company controlled
by Mastercard, for Burst Acquisition Co Pty Ltd to acquire all
of the issued capital of Wameja Limited for GBP0.08 per share
by way of a Scheme of Arrangement pursuant to Australian Law
under Part 5.1 of the Corporate Act ("the Scheme").
Subject to the relevant approvals, Scheme consideration will
be paid to Scheme Shareholders on the implementation date, which
is currently expected to be 21 September 2021 .

Review of Operations
This report is to be read in conjunction with other reports
issued contemporaneously.
Wameja Limited is a public company listed on the Australian
Securities Exchange (ASX:WJA) and the London Stock Exchange (AIM)
(LSE:WJA).
The Company is partnering with Mastercard to build the HomeSend
global payments hub. HomeSend enables cross-border transfer between
bank accounts, cards, mobile wallets, or cash outlets from anywhere
in the world. As a founding partner in the HomeSend hub, Wameja
helped conceive and bring the opportunity to market. HomeSend is a
joint venture of Wameja (35.26%) and Mastercard (64.74%).
The net result of the consolidated entity for the half year
ended 30 June 2021 was a loss after tax of $3.405 million (2020:
$3.205 million loss). Loss per share was 0.3 cents (2020: loss per
share 0.3 cents).
During the period, there was a net cash outflow of $5.70 million
primarily resulting from a net outflow from investing activities
(mainly in relation to investment and advances to HomeSend) of
$4.955 million. Cash at 30 June 2021 was $2.326 million.
On 10 September 2020, Wameja Limited entered into a Scheme
Implementation Agreement with Burst Acquisition Co. Pty Ltd, a
company controlled by Mastercard, for Burst Acquisition Co Pty Ltd
to acquire all of the issued capital of Wameja Limited for GBP0.08

be paid to Scheme Shareholders on the implementation date, which is
currently expected to be 21 September 2021.
Subsequent events
Impact of COVID-19
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic is ongoing and
while COVID -- 19 has been financially neutral for the Group up to
30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the extent of the
potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date.
The situation is continually developing and is dependent on
measures imposed by the governments and authorities around the
world, including vaccinations, quarantining, travel restrictions
and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
Based on the information available to the directors as at the
date of this financial report, there are no significant factors
identified which would likely impact on the carrying value of the
Group's investment in associate due to COVID-19. However, the
directors consider that prolonged general economic impacts arising
from COVID-19 may have a negative impact on the operations of the
Group's associate. This in turn may impact the future
recoverability of the Group's carrying value of the associate
investment.
Directors' report
Subsequent events (continued)

operations or the state of affairs of the entity in subsequent

likely developments in the operations of the Group in future

likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group, such
information has not been disclosed in this report.

telecommunication sector and conducts its business activities with
respect for the environment while continuing to meet the

executive directors, key management personnel and employees. In
accordance with the provisions of the scheme, executive directors
and employees may be granted options to acquire ordinary shares in
the Company. The exercise of any share options is not dependent on
any performance criteria, however, is dependent on a period of
service relative to the vesting dates.

Dear Board Members
Wameja Limited
In accordance with section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001, I
am pleased to provide the following declaration of independence to
the directors of Wameja Limited.
As lead audit partner for the review of the half year financial
report of Wameja Limited for the half year ended 30 June 2021, I
declare that to the best of my knowledge and belief, there have
been no contraventions of:
(i) The auditor independence requirements of the Corporations
Act 2001 in relation to the review; and
(ii) Any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the review.
Yours faithfully

Independent Auditor's Review Report to the
Members of Wameja Limited
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Wameja
Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which
comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial
position as at 30 June 2021, and the condensed consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the
condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the condensed
consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended
on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information, and the directors'
declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become
aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year
financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, including:
-- Giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position
as at 30 June 2021 and of its performance for the half-year ended
on that date; and
-- Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial
Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a
Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's
Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-year Financial Report
section of our report. We are independent of the Group in
accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting
Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics
for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards)
(the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial
report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the
Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the
Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at
the time of this auditor's review report.
Directors' Responsibilities for the Half-year Financial
Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation
of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the
Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the
directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-year
Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year
financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to
conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us
believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance
with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair
view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2021 and its
performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying
with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and
the Corporations Regulations 2001.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making
enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would
become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in
an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose interim financial statements for half-year
reporting period ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in
accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and
Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial
Reporting. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting
purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
This interim financial report is intended to provide users with
an update on the latest annual financial statements of Wameja
Limited and its controlled entities (referred to as the
"Consolidated Group" or "Group"). As such, it does not contain
information that represents relatively insignificant changes
occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore
recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with
the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31
December 2020, together with any public announcements made during
the following half-year.
These interim financial statements were authorised for issue on
31 August 2021.
(b) Accounting Policies
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have
been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in
the most recent annual financial statements.
The Group has considered the implications of new and amended
Accounting Standards, but determined that their application to the
financial statements is either not relevant or not material.
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis
of internal reports about components of the Group that are
regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order
to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its
performance.
The Group operates in a single segment being the
telecommunications software solutions business. Accordingly, all
reported information in the financial report relates to this single
segment.
3. ISSUANCES, REPURCHASED ANS REPAYMENT OF SECURITIES
During the current period the Company did not issue any shares
(2020: nil).
No employee share options were exercised or cancelled in the
period (2020: nil).

the reporting period are as follows:

HomeSend Provision of international
SRCL (a) mobile money services Brussels, Belgium 35.26% 35.68%
---------------------------- ------------------------ --------------- -------------
a) HomeSend SRCL was formed on 3 April 2014. The Directors have
determined that the Group exercises significant influence over
HomeSend SRCL by virtue of its 35.26% voting power in shareholders
meetings and its contractual right to appoint two out of six
directors to the board of Directors of that Company.
The associate is accounted for using the equity method in these
condensed consolidated financial statements.

-------- ------------
(i) On 18 March 2021, the Company subscribed for EUR1,784,118 of
shares in HomeSend SCRL. The equity contribution was part of a
EUR6,000,000 capital raise with Mastercard agreeing to contribute
an additional EUR1,000,000 over and above its proportionate
interest in HomeSend SCRL. The additional investment by Mastercard
resulted in a change in ownership interest held by the Company from
35.68% to 35.26%. The Company has consequently recognised a gain on
dilution of investment in associate of $287,000 in the profit or
loss.
(ii) On 23 June 2021, the Company subscribed for a further
EUR1,410,588 of shares in HomeSend SCRL. The equity contribution
was part of a EUR4,000,000 capital raise with Mastercard
contributing the balance in proportion to its interest in HomeSend
SCRL.
The funds from the capital raise are to be used to support the
operational expenses of the HomeSend 2021 business plan and its
minimum equity requirements for H2 2021.

9. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
a) Notices of Potential Claim
In July 2019, Wameja Limited ("Wameja" or the "Company") sold
all the issued capital of eServGlobal Holdings SAS and its
subsidiaries ("eServGlobal") to Seamless Distribution Systems AB
("Seamless"). The sale comprised the effective sale of Wameja's
operating business. The sale and purchase agreement ("SPA")
included an indemnity under which Wameja agreed to indemnify and
hold Seamless harmless against any direct loss, damage or liability
related to the lack of renewed licences for eServGlobal's use of a
specific third party's intellectual property ("the Indemnity"). The
third party is the provider of software embedded in all deployments
of eServGlobal's "Paymobile" platform, eServGlobal's primary
product.
At the end of September 2020, Wameja received a notification of
potential claim under the Indemnity from Seamless regarding an
issue that had arisen between Botswana Telecommunications ("BTC")
(an eServGlobal customer) and the third-party software supplier.
Seamless subsequently issued another notice with their estimation
of the exposure under the Indemnity across BTC and other
eServGlobal clients.
On 18 June 2021, Wameja, Mastercard, Seamless and the third
party software provider referred to in the Indemnity entered into a
settlement agreement to resolve the potential for any claim under
the Indemnity or any similar claims under the SPA. This settlement
agreement (to be funded by Mastercard) is conditional upon
completion of the Scheme and accordingly, if the Scheme were not to
complete, the settlement agreement would cease to have any effect
and the potential for claims against Wameja under the Indemnity
would remain.
In the event that the settlement agreement ceases, the directors
continue to consider there to be no present obligation or material
exposure under the Indemnity on the basis that:
-- there has to date been no claim by the third-party software
supplier against Wameja or Seamless arising from the non - renewal
of licences, or any other matter, and
-- Seamless has not particularised the basis under the SPA upon
which it believes that there is a potential claim under the
Indemnity.
No provision has been recognised in the financial report as at
30 June 2021.
b) Warranty claim
On 3 July 2020, the company received notification of a purported
warranty claim from Seamless in relation to a French employee of
eServGlobal SAS whose employment was terminated subsequent to
completion of the sale of eServGlobal Holdings SAS to Seamless. The
notification sought to claim EUR519,967 ($843,007) under the
warranties contained within the SPA, being the amount including
taxes, that the employee was seeking from eServGlobal SAS for
compensation for loss of employment.
The directors have assessed and considered the purported
warranty claim to be without merit and have advised Seamless as
such, and rejected the suggestion that the liability to the
employee is subject to the warranties in the SPA.
At the date of this financial report, there has been no further
correspondence from Seamless on this matter and the directors
maintain their position that the purported warranty claim is
without merit.
Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Impact of COVID-19
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic is ongoing and
while COVID -- 19 has been financially neutral for the Group up to
30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the extent of the
potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date.
The situation is continually developing and is dependent on
measures imposed by the governments and authorities around the
world, including vaccinations, quarantining, travel restrictions
and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
Based on the information available to the directors as at the
date of this financial report, there are no significant factors
identified which would likely impact on the carrying value of the
Group's investment in associate due to COVID-19. However, the
directors consider that prolonged general economic impacts arising
from COVID-19 may have a negative impact on the operations of the
Group's associate. This in turn may impact the future
recoverability of the Group's carrying value of the associate
investment.
