NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

SECTION A

Selected Explanatory Notes: MFRS 134

1. Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, have been prepared in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standard (“MFRS”) 134: Interim Financial Reporting issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) and Paragraph 9.22 of the Listing Requirements of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

The condensed financial report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended December 31, 2025. The explanatory notes attached to the Interim Financial Report provide an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the financial position and performance of the Group.

2. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

(1) Critical Judgments Made in Applying Accounting Policies

There are no critical judgments made by management in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

(2) Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty on the statement of financial position, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as discussed below:

(i) Depreciation of motor vehicles

The cost of motor vehicles for operation and administrative purposes is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful lives. Management estimates that the useful lives of these motor vehicles range from 5 to 10 years. These are common life expectancies applied in the industry. Changes in the expected level of usage could impact the economic useful lives and the residual value of these assets, therefore depreciation charges could be revised.

(ii) Impairment loss for receivables

The policy on impairment loss for receivables of the Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of the receivables and on management’s judgement. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current credit worthiness and the past collection history of each customer. If the financial conditions of customers of the Group are to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required.

(iii) Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unutilised tax losses, unabsorbed capital allowances and other deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses, capital allowances and other deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Significant management decision is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with tax planning strategies.

3. Auditors’ Report on preceding annual financial statements

The auditors’ report on the financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 was not subject to any qualification.

14. Performance Review

Comparison with previous year corresponding quarter

The Group recorded revenue of RM6.59 million and loss before taxation of RM0.64 million (Last Year: revenue of RM7.35 million and loss before taxation of RM2.28 million). The movement in the revenue is mainly due to lower revenue contributed by logistics division. The decrease in loss is mainly due to lower operating costs for the Group.

Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) loss from the Group has decreased to RM0.36 million (Last Year: Loss of RM0.85 million) is mainly due to lower operating cost in current quarter.

Comparison with preceding quarter

15. Commentary on prospects

According to the Advance Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) Estimates published by the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) on 17 April 2026, Malaysia’s economy grew by 5.3% in the first quarter of 2026 (Q1 2026) year-on-year. This growth, though slower than the 6.3% recorded in Q4 2025, was driven by services and a 7.8% expansion in the construction sector.

The Group’s business outlook for 2026 will be challenging and competitive. Nevertheless, the Group will continue its focus on optimising capacity, assets utilisation and improving cost efficiency in every division.
