Through our two major lines of business, remittance and airtime, Currenc is a leading operator of global money transfer services and airtime trading in Southeast Asia.

Major Factors Affecting Currenc’s Results of Operations
Current report
Currenc operates in the cross-border money remittance and international airtime transfer markets in Southeast Asia, and its results of operations and financial condition are significantly affected by general factors driving this market. It has benefited from rapid technological change, increased low cost and real time cross-border money transfer needs, as well as increased availability, quality and usage of mobile devices. It has also benefited significantly from the increasing Internet penetration, particularly mobile Internet penetration, in Asia, and also the increasing adoption of electronic wallets or storage vehicles. On the other hand, its international airtime transfer business may be adversely affected by the increasing adoption and thus wider availability of free Wi-Fi in public places and buildings in many Southeast Asian countries as well as other emerging countries. Currenc’s results of operations and financial condition are affected by the general factors driving the currency transfer, digital financial services, e-commerce and other industries in Southeast Asia. On the other hand, as the global digital remittance market has thrived and grown rapidly, more and more competitors have entered into the market and as a result, the market competition is intensifying. This has direct impact on the pricing power of Currenc, and thus its profitability.
Current report
Currenc’s ability to maintain and increase the size of its user base
Current report
Currenc’s revenue is largely driven by the number of users and the number of transactions on its remittance platforms, as well as the users on the airtime trading platforms. The larger the number of users on Currenc’s platforms and the larger the number of partners, including banks, e-Wallets and corporations that will join its network, the greater will be the number of transactions that drive its revenue. However, as the market competition is getting more intense, Currenc has to offer more price-competitive and highly efficient services in order to maintain and increase its user base.
Current report
Also, the larger the number of merchants and telecommunication companies using the platforms of airtime supplied by Tranglo’s airtime business and WalletKu, the higher the growth in business, and revenue of Currenc will be higher.
Current report
Currenc will strive to develop B2C markets in Southeast Asia and Middle East, so as to capture the retail remittance and airtime market. This development, if successfully launched, will generate significant clientele and synergy for Tranglo’s remittance and airtime businesses.
Current report
User engagement and monetization
Current report
Currently, Currenc’s global money transfer and airtime services are the foundation of its relationship with its users globally. It generates revenue on cross border money transfers and airtime transfer services. In particular, Currenc’s in-house cross-border payment processing B2B platform generates fees on money transfer orders it settles for banks and other money service operators around the world. Currenc will continue to drive adoption of its retail end users and financial institutions in using Currenc’s platform for money transfer, mass payout and collection services and payment processing business, as well as introduce new B2C financial services and airtime distribution services, in Southeast Asia and Middle East. Currenc believes it can leverage its expertise and knowhow to develop retail markets in Southeast Asia and Middle East, offering payment, remittances, airtime and other fintech services.
Current report
As for airtime business, Currenc will strive to expand its global airtime transfer coverage and telco partner network. The global airtime transfer business mainly serves migrant workers worldwide. As free Wi-Fi becomes more and more available to many Southeast Asian countries, the needs for migrant workers from these countries to send airtime back to their homelands diminish over time. Also, as Malaysia-Indonesia is currently the key global airtime corridor for Tranglo which contributed 51.6% of Tranglo’s global airtime revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, Tranglo’s global airtime business could be adversely affected by the changes. Currenc needs to broaden its network and diversify its user base to other Asian countries like Pakistan, Middle East countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia, and African countries like Egypt, in order to expand its global airtime business in the future. Currenc will also seek to expand the network and coverage of WalletKu and offer a wider range of products and services for retail customers in Indonesia. Currenc believes the insights on its users generated by its existing services will enable it to develop new products and services for the existing markets, and also to explore and develop new markets for the services, and thereby generate more revenue for it.
Current report
Launch of new products and services and cross-selling to Currenc’s users
Current report
Currenc strives to stay on the cutting edge of the financial technology by developing and launching new products and services to offer to both new and existing users and intends to continue investing in product development to build new products and services and to bring them to market.
Current report
Currenc’s existing users represent a sizable opportunity to cross-sell products and services with relatively low incremental marketing and advertising expenses. Currenc believes that there exists a significant synergy between its B2C eWallet and retail airtime business and its B2B cross border remittance business and global airtime transfer business. As such, it plans to continually invest in the product development of its existing platforms, and to also to explore and develop eWallet markets in various Southeast Asian and Middle East countries so as to expand its B2C business scope and create more synergy between its B2C and B2B businesses. To the extent that Currenc is able to create significant synergy between its operations, and to cross-sell products and services between different clienteles and countries, it expects its revenue and financial income to continue to grow and its margins to increase.
Current report
Currenc’s ability to operate in a cost-effective manner
Current report
Currenc’s ability to control costs and expenses relating to its operations affects its profitability. The global remittance market is evolving rapidly and new entrants to the market have driven market competition. This has a long term downward trend on the gross profit margin for the whole industry. In order to generate growing operating profits, players have to expand their market scope and scale, while on the other hand, control their operating costs. General and administrative expenses have historically represented the largest portion of Currenc’s total operating expenses. In particular, Currenc has invested significantly in hiring, training and retaining personnel and expects to continue to make significant investments in personnel as it grows its business and enters new geographies and offers new services. With the expansion of its business, Currenc expects its operating costs and expenses to continue to increase, including employee compensation and benefits, marketing and branding and other costs and expenses. The salary level in the fintech industry in and around Southeast Asia has generally increased in recent years, and Currenc believes it offers competitive wages and other benefits to recruit and retain quality professionals. As Currenc is to explore and develop the B2C markets in Southeast Asia and Middle East, Currenc’ operating model allows it to centralize a number of functions, including technology development, operating system infrastructure building as well as certain general and administrative services. This will allow Currenc to increase efficiencies across each of its businesses and further increase its overall operating leverage.
Current report
Currenc’s partner network
Current report
Currenc’s results of operations are affected by its ability to continue to maintain and build its collaborative network with partners.
Current report
Tranglo’s business has a large portfolio of blue-chip customers across both its payment and airtime transfer segments, including WISE, SingTel, Remitly, SBI Japan, Mastercard, WeChat Pay HK, Maxis, Etisalat and Ding. By continuing to develop Tranglo’s technological infrastructure, Currenc will be able to handle larger volumes of money transfer and settlement and open new business opportunities, both in money transfer and airtime businesses, which in turn will allow it to attract more customers. The ability of Currenc to maintain and develop new partners will have the direct impact on its business scope and scale.
Current report
As Currenc is to develop new B2C markets in Southeast Asia and Middle East, it could bring in new partners for Tranglo and WalletKu so as to create significant business synergy and cross selling between different business segments of Currenc.
Current report
Expansion into new markets and acquisitions
Current report
As part of Currenc’s strategy of expansion, it has in the past acquired, and may, from time to time, acquire businesses or interests in businesses, including non-controlling interests, form joint ventures or create strategic alliances. In the future, Currenc will strive to develop its B2C businesses in Southeast Asia and Middle East, focusing on various fintech and airtime trading services. It expects to replicate and further develop the existing B2C eWallet, payment, remittance, airtime trading business model in Southeast Asian and Middle East countries, in particular the Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia. Currenc will continually evaluate potential strategic acquisitions of businesses or products with the aim of expanding its user and revenue base, widening its geographic coverage and increasing its product range. In addition, Currenc’s ability to leverage its existing distribution network to expand its product offering across its current markets and replicate its success in Southeast Asian and Middle East countries where it operates will affect its growth and results of operations. It expects that its growth prospects will continue to be significantly affected by its ability to expand its business in new and existing markets.

At June 30, 2024, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $55,457,522 consisting of securities held in a money market fund and government bonds that invests in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes with a maturity of 185 days or less. Through June 30, 2024, we did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account to pay our taxes. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target business and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a Business Combination, the remaining funds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our Business Combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
Previous report
At June 30, 2024, we have available to us $8,780 of cash on our operating account and working capital deficit of $5,412,119. We will use these funds primarily to find and evaluate target businesses, perform business, legal, and accounting due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination. The interest income earned on the investments in our trust account are unavailable to fund operating expenses.
Previous report
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (such loans, “Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.
Previous report
On May 1, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of up to $150,000 to the Sponsor which may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date (defined below) upon request by the Company. The Note does not bear interest and the principal balance will be payable on the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination (such date, the “Maturity Date”). In the event the Company consummates its initial business combination, the Sponsor has the option on the Maturity Date to convert the principal outstanding under the Note into that number of private placement warrants (“Working Capital Warrants”) equal to the portion of the principal amount of the Note being converted divided by $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number. The terms of the Working Capital Warrants, if any, would be identical to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants. The Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which automatically triggers the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Note becoming immediately due and payable.
Previous report
On September 13, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Amended Note”) in the principal amount of up to $400,000 to the Sponsor, which may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date upon request by the Company. The Amended Note amended, replaced and superseded in its entirety the Note, and any unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note has been merged into and evidenced by the Amended Note. The Amended Note does not bear interest and the principal balance will be payable on the Maturity Date. In the event the Company consummates its initial business combination, the Sponsor has the option on the Maturity Date to convert the principal outstanding under the Amended Note into that number of Working Capital Warrants equal to the portion of the principal amount of the Amended Note being converted divided by $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number. The terms of the Working Capital Warrants, if any, would be identical to the terms of the private placement warrants issued by the Company at the time of its Initial Public Offering, as described in the prospectus for the Initial Public Offering, dated November 22, 2021 and filed with the SEC, including the transfer restrictions applicable thereto. The Amended Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which automatically triggers the unpaid principal balance of the Amended Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Amended Note becoming immediately due and payable. As of June 30, 2024, $325,000 is outstanding under the Note.
Previous report
On March 6, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Seamless Note”) in the principal amount of up to $500,000 to Seamless, which may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date upon request by the Company. The Seamless Note does not bear interest and the principal balance will be payable on the Maturity Date. The Seamless Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which automatically triggers the unpaid principal balance of the Second Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Seamless Note becoming immediately due and payable. As of June 30, 2024, $316,297 was outstanding pursuant to the Note.

We will have until the Third Extended Date to consummate our initial Business Combination. In accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, as amended, and the approval of the Third Extension Proposal, additional funds in the amount of $560,000 were deposited into the Trust Account as of June 30, 2024, and the required contributions will continue to be deposited on or before the 23rd day of each subsequent calendar month into the Trust Account until November 23, 2024 or such earlier date that the board determines to liquidate INFINT the Company or the date an initial business combination is completed. As of August 1, 2024, a total of $640,000 has been deposited to the Trust Account as required contributions.
Previous report
Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering had been satisfied through proceeds from notes payable and from the issuance of common stock. However, the $8,780 in cash might not be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements. Additionally, the Combination Period is less than one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. As a result, there is substantial doubt that the Company can sustain operations for a period of at least one-year from the issuance date of these financial statements for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.
Previous report
Our only activities through June 30, 2024 were organizational activities, those necessary to consummate the Initial Public Offering, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We are incurring expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
Previous report
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2024. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Previous report
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than an agreement to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. We began incurring these fees on November 23, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
Previous report
In connection with our initial Business Combination, we are obligated to pay our expenses relating thereto, including the deferred underwriting commission payable to our underwriter in an amount equal to 3.0% of the total gross proceeds raised in the offering, or $5,999,964, upon consummation of our initial Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Previous report
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
