CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

MAJOR AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION: PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTIES INVOLVING ISSUE OF THE CONSIDERATION SHARES UNDER SPECIFIC MANDATE

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 27 April 2023 and 7 June 2023 and the Circular (Original) dated 14 July 2023 in relation to, among others, (i) the Master Agreement (Original) and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including without limitation, the Purchase and the Consideration Shares Issue, (ii) the grant of the Specific Mandate; and (iii) the Authorised Share Capital Increase.

On 27 April 2023, the Purchaser conditionally agreed to purchase the Properties from PRGH by entering into the Master Agreement (Original) with PRGH as vendor and the Company joined in as a party.

The proposed purchase of the Properties by the Purchaser from PRGH and the Authorised Share Capital Increase were approved by the Independent Shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 8 August 2023.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 2 July 2024. Fulfilment of the Conditions Precedent is by and large depended upon delivery of vacant possession the Properties by the Developer to PRGH after completion of the development and construction of Block A of Picasso Residence of which the Properties form part. However, completion of the development and construction of Block A of Picasso Residence by the Developer will be delayed from end of 2023 to the earliest, end of 2024.

Such delay was primarily due to unforeseen circumstances in terms of (i) the shortage of labour and disruptions in the supply chain for raw materials in the construction industry, causing the delay in completion of the external works in respect of Picasso Residence; and (ii) the delay in the obtaining of the necessary approvals from key agencies and authorities by the Developer, such as for the dismantling of tower crane and passenger hoist, and the connection of tapping points for water and sewage.

Based on the latest information from the Developer, Block A of Picasso Residence has been completed following the issue of a Certificate of Completion and Compliance dated 6 September 2024. As such, the Directors anticipate no further delay in completing Block A of Picasso Residence. In the unlikely event of further delay in the Long Stop Date (Extended), the Directors acknowledge that it would constitute a material change or delay requiring fresh approval of the Shareholders.

As a result of the delay, the Conditions Precedent cannot be fulfilled by the Long Stop Date (Original) of 30 June 2024. The Purchaser, PRGH and the Company therefore entered into the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2 postponing the Long Stop Date (Original) of 30 June 2024 to the Long Stop Date (Extended) conditional upon approval by the Independent Shareholders and the independent non-interest shareholders of PRGH detailed in this circular.

The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with, among other things, (i) details of the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2; (ii) the Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (iii) the valuation reports on the Properties; (iv) a letter of recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in relation to the EGM Matters; (v) a letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the EGM Matters; (vi) other information as required under the GEM Listing Rules; and (vii) the notice of the EGM.

THE SUPPLEMENTAL MASTER AGREEMENT NO. 2

Date: 29 June 2024 Parties: (1) PRGH (as vendor)

(2) the Purchaser (as purchaser), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Malaysia; and

(3) the Company.

The Properties comprise 50 units of condominium located on the 16th to 37th floors of Block A of phase 1 of a residential development to be known as Picasso Residence. Block A of Picasso Residence is a multi-storey building with 270 condominium. The total build up areas of the 50 units of condominium are approximately 72,920 square feet.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Phase 2 was completed, the remaining work such as mechanical, electrical, plumbing and furnishing work has commenced in or about January 2024 and is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2025.

The Valuation (Original) and the Valuation (Update) is RM70,355,000 and RM65,180,000, respectively, as appraised by the Independent Valuer.

VALUATION

According to the Valuation Report (Original) and the Valuation Report (Update) prepared by the Independent Valuer, an Independent Third Party and a property valuer with over 23 years’ experience in real estate valuation, estate agency and property management in Malaysia, as at 5 July 2023 and 16 July 2024, the market value of the Properties was RM70,355,000 and RM65,180,000, respectively.

The Valuation was determined by way of the ‘‘comparison approach’’ on the basis of ‘‘market value’’. ‘‘Comparison approach’’ provides an indication of value by comparing the property with market evidence of identical or comparable (that is similar) properties for which price information is available, such as a comparison with market transaction in the same, or closely similar, type of property within an appropriate time horizon and where dissimilarities exist, adjustments are made. ‘‘Market Value’’ is the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The basis of ‘‘market value’’ is universally considered the most accepted valuation approach for valuing most forms of property as it refers to real market data on the market value of similar properties.

Making reference to the Valuation Report (Original) and the Valuation Report (Update) as set out in Appendices II and III to this circular, each of the Valuation (Original) and the Valuation (Update) was prepared by the Independent Valuer in accordance with the Malaysian Valuation Standards issued by the Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers, the International Valuation Standards issued by the International Valuation Standards Council, and the requirements set out in Chapter 8 of the GEM Listing Rules.

Having reviewed and taken into account (i) the scope of work of the Valuation (Original) and the Valuation (Update); (ii) the Independent Valuer’s qualifications and experience in relation to the preparation of the Valuation Report (Original) and the Valuation Report (Update); (iii) the methodology (i.e. the comparison approach on the basis of market value) used by the Independent Valuer which is the most common methodology used for the valuation of the Properties; and (iv) the adjustments, consideration and assumptions made by the Independent Valuer for the Valuation (Original) and the Valuation (Update) which are in line with industry practices, the Board is of the opinion that the Valuation is fair and reasonable.

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS

The Company has not conducted any fund raising activities involving the issue of equity securities within the 12 months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Properties are located in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, and is a prime commercial and residential area (i) with major commercial developments, education institutions, light rail transit, leisure parks as well as various embassies within its vicinity; (ii) within 4 kilometres to the east of east of Petronas Twin Towers and about 6 kilometres to the northeast of the Kuala Lumpur Golden Triangle region; and (iii) accessible to Kuala Lumpur city center with various main roads connection which is expected to be further enhanced upon completion of a new highway.

Despite the numerous political and economic incidents that happened around the world in the last 12 months, the Directors considered the reasons for and benefits of the Purchase as set out in the Circular (Original) remain substantially valid. Set out below are the key benefits of the Purchase having taken into account the operational and financial performance of the Group since the date of the Circular (Original) and the information contained in this circular:

Business diversification

The Company intends to lease the Properties for rental income that will enhance the steadiness of the Group’s income stream deriving from its current businesses in manufacturing and energy efficiency solutions. The world economy is still highly vulnerable to various economic and political threats, such as elevated interest rates and inflation, disruption of supply chains and geopolitical tension. These threats may disrupt our manufacturing and energy efficiency business whose clients are mainly in Asia Pacific and North America. The Company shall remain vigilant at all times and plan in advance to cope with any unforeseen circumstances or adversity which may happen acutely.

The Company’s core business was the manufacturing and sale of elastic textile and webbings when it was listed on GEM in 2017 (the ‘‘Listing Business’’). It was then diversified to, among others, the manufacturing and sale of polyvinyl chloride related products in 2019 (‘‘PVC Business’’) whose operational and financial performance was unsatisfactory for the years ended 31 December 2021 and 2022. Consequently, the Group disposed of the PVC Business in September 2023.

The increasing awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection drives the expansion of energy management system market in Malaysia and Singapore. To tap into the green industry, the Company acquired 37.25% and 62.75% in Energy Solution Global Limited (‘‘ESGL’’) in December 2021 and August 2022, respectively. ESGL and its two subsidiaries are wholly owned by the Company that constitute the energy efficiency business (the ‘‘Energy Efficiency Division’’) of the Group.

The Group’s diversification strategy proved its merits in the year ended 31 December 2023 (‘‘FY2023’’). The Group’s revenue for FY2023 amounted to approximately RM216.8 million (the year ended 31 December 2022 (‘‘FY2022’’): RM162.2 million), representing an increase of RM54.6 million (or 33.7%) as compared to FY2022. The increase of revenue was mainly due to the revenue contributed by the Energy Efficiency Division which amounted to approximately RM120.5 million during FY2023 (FY2022: RM49.8 million). The increased revenue contribution from the Energy Efficiency Division mitigated the adverse impact from the drop in revenue from the manufacturing business of the Group (the ‘‘Manufacturing Division’’), which comprises elastic textile, webbing and other manufacturing products, by

– 21 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RM16.0 million (RM96.1 million for FY2023 versus RM112.1 million for FY2022) resulted from the slowdown of global market and disposal of the PVC Business. Weighing of revenue from Manufacturing Division and Energy Efficiency Division for FY2023 was 44.3% and 55.6%, respectively, versus 69.2% and 30.7% for FY2022. The Directors are of the view that the foregoing change in revenue weighing contributed to the increase in gross profit of the Group by RM13.4 million (or 34.2%) from RM41.4 million in FY2022 to RM54.8 million in FY2023, as well as mitigated the adverse impact on the net profit due to the deteriorated performance of the Manufacturing Division and the corresponding impairment losses.

Nevertheless, the Directors are aware of following risks of the existing business portfolio of the Group: (i) the business outlook of the Manufacturing Division remains unclear, particularly the industry is still under the threats of de-globalisation, geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, rising raw material costs and weak global demand etc., and it is uncertain as to how these adverse factors would impact on the performance of the Manufacturing Division for the rest of this year and thereafter; and (ii) although the Energy Efficiency Division demonstrated its strong growth, tremendous business potential in Singapore and Malaysia and increasing revenue contribution to the Group, its revenue model is largely on project basis and revenue recognition is in line with project progress. Accordingly, its revenue may vary across months or years. In light of the foregoing risks, the Directors consider it beneficial to the Group to enlarge its business portfolio by including assets that can generate stable cash income with potential value appreciation, without straining its working capital or gearing level. Additional and steady income stream may help to reduce any temporary volatility in cashflow of manufacturing business and thus enhance the effectiveness and performance of the Group’s liquidity management.

Rental yield versus bank deposits rate

The Properties are located in a prime area of Kuala Lumpur as aforesaid, and to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, the Properties are not low-grade properties nor in the lower-end of the market, and thus their value, rental yield as well as appreciation potential should not be referenced to those of low-end properties.

According to the Valuation Report (Update), the asking rental rates of the comparable properties in the vicinity of the Properties are extracted below:

Comparable Properties Built-up Area Rental Rate
(Sq. Ft.) (RM/psf)
Setia Sky Residence 990–1,755 2.02–3.99
M City 506–1,920 2.77–3.54
Reizz Residence 778–896 2.31–4.02

According to the Valuation Report (Update), the estimated rental yields of the comparable properties range from 2.10% to 3.36%, depending on the built-up area and furnishing; and rental market around the vicinity is sought to maintain a stable or slightly rising momentum with the introduction of new properties featuring latest upgraded furnishing and features,

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

drawing tenants across various neighbourhoods. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Directors anticipate that the yield of the Properties resembles the yields of the comparable properties.

On the other hand, the Directors referenced to the deposit interest rate of Malaysia which rose from approximately 1.56% in 2021 to approximately 2.65% in 2023, according to Trading Economics and World Bank. The Directors also aware that the bank deposit rate may drop in response to the anticipated interest rate cut in the United States.

Based on the above findings, the Directors are of the view that the Properties will provide reasonable and stable yield to the Group.

Risk of value depreciation

According to the Valuation Report (Update), price of residential property recorded mixed movements across the board from 2018 to 2023. Notwithstanding the variations in price movements of various classes, structures and locations of terraced houses, apartments and condominiums, the annual change of the all house price index of Kuala Lumpur ranged from -2.8% to 1.8% during the years from 2018 to 2023. Moreover, the house price index of Kuala Lumpur increased by 3.4 points (or 1.76%) from 192.7 in 2022 to 196.1 in 2023; whilst the average house price increased by RM13,548 (or 1.77%) from RM764,937 to RM778,485 during the same period. Generally, the residential property market of Kuala Lumpur was on a moderate rising trend.

Despite the above findings, the Directors are aware that the valuation of the Properties decreased by RM5.2 million (or 7.4%) from RM70.4 million pursuant to the Valuation (Original) to RM65.2 million pursuant to the Valuation (Update). In this regard, the Directors studied the Valuation Report (Original) and Valuation Report (Update) and identified the following similarities and differences between the two valuations:

  • (1) Both valuations adopted the comparison approach;

  • (2) The comparable properties were the same, namely Setia Sky Residence, M City and Reizz Residence;

  • (3) Both valuations considered Reizz Residence as the best comparable. However, the transaction price of this property dropped by RM86 (or 7.9%) from RM1,094 psf in July 2022 to RM1,008 psf in August 2023; and

  • (4) Further to (3) above, the base value for appraising the Properties dropped by RM76 psf (or 7.1%) from RM1,066 psf pursuant to the Valuation Report (Original) to RM990 psf pursuant to the Valuation Report (Update).

– 23 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Change of base value contributes, to a large extent, the change of the gross value of the Properties. The Directors also noticed the following transaction prices of Picasso Residence which were provided by the developer for references and were set out in the two valuation reports:

Average Transaction Average Transaction
Price — RM psf Increase/(Decrease)
2021–2022 2023–2024 RM %
Type A 1,255 1,360 105 8.4
Type C 1,370 1,269 (101) (7.4)

The Properties comprised of 16 units of Type A and 34 units of Type C, whilst the increase in average selling price of Type A was slightly highly than the drop in average selling price of Type C. By and large, the Directors are of the view that the market value of the Properties remained stable during the period of the two valuations. Furthermore, the average selling price for Type A and Type C units sold in 2023 to 2024 was both higher than the base value pursuant to the Valuation Report (Update) by RM370 psf (or 37.4%) for Type A and RM279 psf (or 22.0%) for Type C, respectively.

Based on the above findings, the Directors are of the view that, despite the drop in Valuation (Update) versus Valuation (Original), the value of the Properties remained stable during the period of the two valuations. Moreover, the Directors anticipate that the risk of deterioration of market value of the Properties is low because, as aforementioned, (i) the house price index of Kuala Lumpur increased in 2023 and generally the residential property market of Kuala Lumpur was on a moderate rising trend; and (ii) the average selling price for both Type A and Type C units of Picasso Residence was higher than the best comparable property for both Valuation (Original) and Valuation (Update).

Steady income stream and potential capital gain

While there could be competition among properties in close proximity to the Properties, one should not ignore the positive signs of market activities across all sub-sectors of Kuala Lumpur, particularly the commercial and industrial sectors, which to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, are common indicators of the general economic performance that contributes to the demand for residential properties. Furthermore, the Consideration represents a discount of approximately 4.9% to the market value of the Properties. The Directors are of the view that such cost advantage can make the Properties competitive enough without significantly compromising the investment return. The Directors are optimistic to lease the Properties at reasonable rental yield or, in the future, sell them at prices with reasonable return. As the Properties comprise 50 units, their lease and/or sale will contribute steady income stream to the Group.

As aforesaid, the Independent Valuer is of the view that the rental market around the vicinity of the Properties will remain stable or rise slightly. Depends on the Group’s financial status and policy which are reviewed by the Directors regularly, the Company may choose to sell the Properties at appropriate times to capture the capital gain. As at the Latest Practicable

– 24 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Date, the Company plans to hold the Properties as investment properties and has no plan to dispose them; and the Company does not have any intention or plan to invest in other properties in Malaysia or other countries.

Based on their long and diverse experiences as top management of various industries and having taken into account the information contained in the Valuation Report and from market enquiries, the Directors are of the view that the Purchase is a good investment opportunity for the Group that will provide steady income and reasonable investment return. Mr. Ng Tzee Penn, Mr. Andrew Chan Lim-Fai and Dato’ Lua Choon Hann are common directors of the Company and PRGH, and PRGH’s principal businesses include property development and construction. Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that the Board has relevant expertise in assessing the Malaysian property market and dealing with the Properties, despite both Directors have abstained from voting at the Board meeting approving the Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Notwithstanding the Directors are presently optimistic about the financial return of the Properties, they will continue to monitor the performance of the Malaysian property market and the financial returns of the Properties, and adopt appropriate strategies such as rental rate adjustment or disposal, to mitigate the investment risks and secure the reasonableness of investment return to the Group.

In view of the foregoing considerations, the Directors are of the view that the proposed diversification into the property investment business after Completion represents an opportunity for the Group to establish a new and promising business segment for the Group in the long run.

Having considered the above benefits, the Directors (excluding Mr. Ng Tzee Penn, Mr. Andrew Chan Lim-Fai and Dato’ Lua Choon Hann who have abstained from voting at the Board meeting approving the Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder as described in ‘‘Letter from the Board — Implications of the GEM Listing Rules — Approval by the Board’’ below and the independent non-executive Directors whose views will be given after considering the advice from the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that the terms and conditions of the Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and that the Purchase involving the Consideration Shares Issue, while not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

IMPLICATIONS OF THE GEM LISTING RULES

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

==> picture [223 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

801–805, 8/F, Nan Fung Tower 88 Connaught Road Central Hong Kong

25 September 2024

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders

Dear Sirs,

MAJOR AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION: PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTIES INVOLVING ISSUE OF THE CONSIDERATION SHARES UNDER SPECIFIC MANDATE

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our engagement as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Purchase involving the Consideration Shares Issue, particulars of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’) contained in the circular dated 25 September 2024 (the ‘‘Circular (Update)’’), of which this letter forms part. Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalized terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as given to them under the definitions section of the Circular (Update).

References are made to the announcements of Company dated 27 April 2023 and 7 June 2023 and the Circular (Original) dated 14 July 2023 in relation to, among others, the Master Agreement (Original) and the transactions contemplated thereunder. On 27 April 2023, the Purchaser conditionally agreed to purchase the Properties from PRGH by entering into the Master Agreement (Original) with PRGH as vendor and the Company joined in as a party.

The proposed purchase of the Properties by the Purchaser from PRGH was approved by the Independent Shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 8 August 2023. Completion of the Master Agreement (Original) as approved by the Independent Shareholders is subject to satisfaction (or waiver) of the Conditions Precedent on or before the Long Stop Date (Original) (i.e. 30 June 2024).

Fulfilment of the Conditions Precedent is by and large depended upon delivery of vacant possession of the Properties by the Developer to PRGH after completion of the development and construction of Block A of Picasso Residence of which the Properties form part. However, completion of the development and construction of Block A of Picasso Residence by the Developer will be delayed from end of 2023 to the earliest, end of 2024.

– 31 –

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

Such delay was primarily due to unforeseen circumstances in terms of (i) the shortage of labour and disruptions in the supply chain for raw materials in the construction industry, causing the delay in completion of the external works in respect of Picasso Residence; and (ii) the delay in the obtaining of the necessary approvals from key agencies and authorities by the Developer, such as for the dismantling of tower crane and passenger hoist, and the fitting/ connection of tapping points for water and sewage.

Based on the latest information from the Developer, Block A of Picasso Residence has been completed following the issue of a Certificate of Completion and Compliance dated 6 September 2024. As such, the Directors anticipate no further delay in completing Block A of Picasso Residence. In the unlikely event of further delay in the Long Stop Date (Extended), the Directors acknowledge that it would constitute a material change or delay requiring fresh approval of the Shareholders.

As a result of the delay, the Conditions Precedent cannot be fulfilled by the Long Stop Date (Original) of 30 June 2024. The Purchaser, PRGH and the Company therefore entered into the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2 postponing the Long Stop Date (Original) of 30 June 2024 to the Long Stop Date (Extended) conditional upon approval by the Independent Shareholders and the independent non-interest shareholders of PRGH detailed in this circular.

An independent board committee (the ‘‘Independent Board Committee’’) of the Board comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Ho Ming Hon, Dato’Sri Dr. Hou Kok Chung and Dato’ Lee Chee Leong, has been established for the purposes of giving recommendations to the Independent Shareholders on the EGM Matters. We, Octal Capital Limited, have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser with the approval of the Independent Board Committee in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in these regards and to give our opinion for the Independent Board Committee’s consideration when making their recommendations to the Independent Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we are not connected with the Group, PRGH, or where applicable, any of the respective substantial shareholders, directors or chief executives, or any of their respective subsidiaries or associates pursuant to Rule 17.96 of the GEM Listing Rules. During the last two years, we were engaged as the independent financial adviser to the Company (the ‘‘Previous Engagement’’) in respect of the Master Agreement (Original), details of which were stated in the ‘‘Letter from Octal Capital’’ of the Circular (Original). Under the Previous Engagement, we were required to express our opinion on and give recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and/or the Independent Shareholders in respect of the relevant transactions.

Apart from normal professional fees payable to us by the Group in connection with these appointments, no arrangement exists whereby we will receive any fees or benefits from the Group or the directors, chief executive and substantial shareholders of the Group, or any of its respective subsidiaries or associates that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. Accordingly, we consider that we are independent to act as the Independent Financial Adviser pursuant to Rule 17.96 of the GEM Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

In formulating our opinion, we have relied on (i) the Company’s annual report for the years ended 31 December 2022 (the ‘‘2022 Annual Report’’) and 2023 (the ‘‘2023 Annual Report’’); (ii) the Company’s interim results announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2024 (the ‘‘2024 Interim Results Announcement’’); (iii) the Master Agreement; (iv) the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2; (v) the announcements of the Company dated 27 April 2023, 7 June 2023 and 2 July 2024; (vi) the Circular (Original); (vii) the information and facts contained or referred to in the Circular (Update); (viii) the information supplied by the Group; (ix) the opinions expressed by and the representations of the professional parties engaged by the Group; and (x) our review of the relevant public information. We have also relied on the accuracy of the information and representations contained in the Circular (Update) and have assumed that all information and representations made or referred to in the Circular (Update) were true at the time they were made and continue to be true as at the Latest Practicable Date. We have also relied on our discussion with the Directors and management of the Group regarding the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2, the information and representations contained in the Circular (Update). We have also assumed that all statements of belief, opinion and intention made by the Directors and management of the Group in the Circular (Update) were reasonably made after due enquiry. We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information to reach an informed view, to justify our reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular (Update) and to provide a reasonable basis for our advice. We have no reason to either suspect that any material facts have been omitted or withheld from the information contained or opinions expressed in the Circular (Update) or to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and representations provided to us by the Directors and management of the Group. We have not, however, conducted an independent in-depth investigation into the business and affairs of the Group and their respective subsidiaries or associates nor have we carried out any independent verification of the information supplied.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion regarding the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background information of the Group

The principal activities of the Group are principally engaged in the manufacturing and sales of elastic textile, webbing and rubber tape related products (the ‘‘Manufacturing Segment’’), and energy efficiency business (the ‘‘Energy Efficiency Segment’’). The Company disposed of the subsidiaries which engaged in the manufacturing of polyvinyl chloride products under the Manufacturing Segment on 30 September 2023. Set out below is a summary of (i) the consolidated audited financial information of the Group for the years ended 31 December 2022 (‘‘FY2022’’) and 2023 (‘‘FY2023’’) as extracted from the 2022 Annual Report and the 2023 Annual Report, and (ii) consolidated unaudited financial information of

For 1H2024

Revenue of the Group decreased by approximately 20.1% from RM106.9 million for 1H2023 to RM85.4 million for 1H2024, mainly due to lower revenue contributed by the Energy Efficiency Segment and Manufacturing Segment. Revenue generated from the Manufacturing Segment accounted for approximately 52.2% of the Group’s total revenue for 1H2024. Such revenue decreased by approximately 10.8% to RM44.6 million for 1H2024 as compared to RM50.0 million for 1H2023, mainly due to the revenue of RM7.0 million for 1H2023 was contributed by the sale of polyvinyl chloride related products business disposed of on 30 September 2023. The Energy Efficiency Segment contributed revenue of approximately RM40.7 million to the Group for 1H2024, which accounted for approximately 47.7% of the Group’s total revenue for 1H2024. Such revenue decreased significantly by approximately 28.3% to RM40.7 million for 1H2024 as compared to RM56.8 million for 1H2023, mainly due to lower project revenue recognised during 1H2024 as a few projects were at completion stage and most of the revenue was recognised in FY2023 whereas the new projects were at start-up stage during 1H2024.

The gross profit margin of the Group increased from approximately 22.7% for 1H2023 to 27.8% for 1H2024, mainly due to the disposal of subsidiaries with low gross profit margin in September 2023 by the Group, higher sales from certain higher gross profit margin products for the Manufacturing Segment and higher services income with higher gross profit margin for the Energy Efficiency Segment during 1H2024.

– 34 –

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

Profit for 1H2024 amounted to approximately RM4.4 million, which was higher than the profit for 1H2023 of RM2.5 million, representing an increase of approximately 76.0%, the lower net profit for 1H2023 was mainly due to the net loss of RM6.3 million from the subsidiaries which were disposed of by the Group in September 2023. By excluding the net loss from these subsidiaries in 1H2023, the Group recorded lower profit for 1H2024 mainly due to lower profit contributed by the Energy Efficiency Segment.

For FY2023

Revenue of the Group increased by approximately 33.7% from RM162.2 million for FY2022 to RM216.8 million for FY2023. Revenue generated from the Energy Efficiency Segment accounted for approximately 55.6% of the Group’s total revenue for FY2023. Such revenue increased significantly by approximately 142.3% to RM120.5 million for FY2023 as compared to RM49.8 million for FY2022, mainly due to the fact that Energy Solution Global Limited and its subsidiaries became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Group since 29 August 2022 and there were only four months of revenue being consolidated into the Group for FY2022, whereas in FY2023, the Group recognized the full-year revenue from the Energy Efficiency Segment. Besides, the Energy Efficiency Segment recorded a strong revenue growth by recognising progress completion for new and on-going projects during FY2023. The Manufacturing Segment contributed revenue of approximately RM96.1 million to the Group for FY2023, which accounted for approximately 44.3% of the Group’s total revenue for FY2023. Such revenue decreased by approximately 14.3% to RM96.1 million for FY2023 as compared to RM112.1 million for FY2022, mainly due to the slowdown in global demand and excess inventories built up in the previous years in various industries as well as disposal of a subsidiary under the Manufacturing Segment, namely Meinaide Holdings Group Limited, in the third quarter of FY2023.

The gross profit margin of the Group slightly decreased from approximately 25.5% for FY2022 to 25.3% for FY2023, mainly due to a one-off provision of slow-moving stocks of polyvinyl chloride related products which amounted to approximately RM2.5 million during FY2023.

Profit for FY2023 amounted to approximately RM12.5 million, which was lower than the profit for FY2022 of RM18.2 million, representing a decreased of approximately 31.3%, mainly due to one-off impairment losses on trade receivables and provision for slow moving stock.

3. Reasons for and benefits of the Purchase

Prospect of the Malaysia real estate market

The Malaysian economy has maintained moderate growth in recent years. The GDP per capita of Malaysia has risen from approximately US$11,228.3 in 2019 to US$12,570.5 in 2023, representing a CAGR of approximately 2.9%. During the second quarter of 2024, Malaysia’s GDP grew by 5.9%, up from 4.2% in the first quarter of 2024. With increasing urbanization in Malaysia, the demand for residential properties is expected to remain persistent. According to the World Bank, the urban population of Malaysia increased from approximately 25.1 million in 2019 to approximately 27.0 million in 2023, representing a CAGR of approximately 1.82%. As the capital and largest city of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is a center for security, politics, economics, culture, and diplomacy, accounting for the majority of investments and transportation in Malaysia.

The Malaysian real estate market has also demonstrated consistent growth. According to Jabatan Penilaian dan Perkhidmatan Harta (‘‘JPPH’’), being the valuation and property management department of Malaysia government, the volume of residential property transactions in Malaysia has increased from 243,190 transactions in 2022 to 250,586 transactions in 2023, representing an annual increase of approximately 3.0%. Additionally, the Malaysian House Price Index (MHPI) has risen from approximately 209.8 in 2022 to approximately 216.5 in 2023, representing an annual increase of approximately 3.2%. Moreover, according to ‘‘Greater Kuala Lumpur Property Market Monitor 1Q24’’ issued by JLL Property Services (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd in April 2024, there is a strong demand for rentals of prime high-rise residential properties. The growth was attributed to a growing number of individuals opting to reside in these areas for extended periods, as well as an increase in short-term renters and international students. The Directors considered the macro economic conditions and the residential property market do not reveal material adverse change after the entering into of the Master Agreement.

Prime location of the Properties

According to the Valuation Report (Update) on the Properties prepared by the Independent Valuer as set out in the Appendix III to the Circular (Update), the Properties are situated north of the intersection between Jalan Ampang and Jalan Jelatek in Kuala Lumpur. The Properties’ location indicates it is close to the center of Kuala Lumpur and has transportation links, with a close driving distance to the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. The surrounding area is a well-developed residential and commercial hub with access to public facilities and several international schools. Additionally, the Properties are in close proximity to several embassies, including those of the Republic of Korea, Laos, Romania, Russia, and Italy.

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

Business diversification and stable income stream

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Company has been focusing on diversifying its business in response to the challenging global business environment and actively seeking investment opportunities in Malaysia and other markets to complement existing businesses and evolve into a diversified business group, ultimately enhancing Shareholders’ value.

The Company’s core business has evolved from elastic textiles to include the manufacturing of polyvinyl chloride related products, which was subsequently disposed. They have since expanded into energy efficiency solutions through acquisitions, which significantly contributed to their revenue growth in FY2023, but its revenue model is largely on project basis and revenue recognition is in line with project progress. To mitigate these risks and enhance financial flexibility, the Purchase enables the Company to cultivate stable rental revenue and possible value growth, mitigating cash flow fluctuations and enhancing comprehensive liquidity oversight.

The Properties are situated in a prime commercial and residential area in Kuala Lumpur, with close proximity to major developments, educational institutions, and transportation hubs. The Company plans to lease the Properties for rental income to stabilize their revenue streams alongside their existing Manufacturing Segment and Energy Efficiency Segment. Despite recent global political and economic events, the Company remains committed to the benefits including business diversification and a focus on generating rental income to support their core operations.

Considering the benefits of diversification of business, the potential for stable longterm cash flow from rental income, the upside potential in the value of the Properties based on their prime location and Malaysia’s growth prospects, and the steady market conditions after the entering into of the Master Agreement, we concur with the Directors that the Purchase remains commercially justifiable and the proposed diversification into the property investment business after Completion could represent an opportunity for the Group to establish a new and promising business segment for the Group in the long run.

5. Basis of the Consideration

The Consideration of the Properties of RM61,982,000 was determined after arm’s length negotiation between PRGH and the Purchaser having regard to the Valuation (Original) of RM70.4 million as at 5 July 2023 appraised by the Independent Valuer. According to the Valuation Report (Update) on the Properties prepared by the Independent Valuer as set out in the Appendix III to the Circular (Update), the Valuation (Update) amounted to RM65.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately 7.4% when compared to the Valuation (Original). The Consideration therefore represents a discount of approximately 11.90% to the Valuation (Original) and a discount of approximately 4.9% to the Valuation (Update).

Regarding the Valuation Report (Update), we have performed the works with reference to Note 1(d) to Rule 17.92 of the GEM Listing Rules and paragraph 5.3 of the Corporate Finance Adviser Code of Conduct in respect of the Valuation Report (Update), which included (i) assessment of the Independent Valuer’s experiences in valuing properties similar to the Properties; (ii) obtaining information on the Independent Valuer’s track records on other property valuations; (iii) inquiry on the Independent Valuer’s current and prior relationship with the Group and other parties; (iv) review of the terms of the Independent Valuer’s engagement, in particular its scope of work, for the assessment of the Valuation Report (Update); and (v) discussion with the Independent Valuer regarding the bases, methodology and assumptions adopted in the Valuation Report (Update).

(i) The Independent Valuer

We have conducted a telephone interview with the Independent Valuer to enquire its experience in valuing similar property interests in Malaysia. We noted that the Independent Valuer had acted as the valuer for public companies listed in Malaysia for similar transactions involving sale and purchase of properties in Malaysia. In addition, we understand that the Independent Valuer is a member of Malaysian Institute of Property and Facility Managers (MIPFM), Royal Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (RISM), Association of Valuers, Property Managers, Estate Agents and Property Consultants in the Private Sector Malaysia (PEPS). Mr. Loo has over 23 years’ experience in valuation of properties in Malaysia. As such, we are of the view that Mr. Loo, being the signor of the Independent Valuer, is qualified, experienced and competent in performing the Valuation (Update) and the Valuation (Original).

We have also enquired with the Independent Valuer as to its independence from the Company and the parties and were given to understand that the Independent Valuer is an independent third party of the Company and its connected persons. The Independent Valuer confirmed to us that it was not aware of any relationship or interest between itself and the Company or any other parties that would reasonably be considered to affect its independence to act as an independent valuer for the Company. Apart from normal professional fees payable to it in connection with its engagement for the Valuation (Update), the Independent Valuer confirmed that no arrangements exist whereby it will receive any fee or benefit from the Company and its associates. Given the above, we are of the view that the Independent Valuer is independent from the Company in respect of the Valuation (Update).

– 44 –

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

Furthermore, we have reviewed the terms of engagement of the Independent Valuer, in particular to its scope of work. We noted that its scope of work is appropriate to form the opinion required to be given and there are no limitations on the scope of work which might adversely impact on the degree of assurance given by the Independent Valuer in the Valuation Report (Update).

(ii) Valuation basis

As stated in the Valuation Report (Update), the Valuation (Update) is conducted in compliance with the Securities Commission Malaysia’s Asset Valuation Guidelines, Malaysian Valuation Standards and the International Valuation Standards. Based on our discussion with the Independent Valuer, we have not identified any major factors which cause us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal basis and assumptions used in arriving at the Valuation (Update). We understand that the Independent Valuer has carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries and searches for the purpose of the Valuation (Update), including but not limited to the pre-sales transactions record in relation to Block A of Picasso Residence. We have reviewed and discussed with the Independent Valuer the basis adopted in arriving at the value of the Properties. Taking into consideration of the nature of the Properties and that the Valuation (Update) is conducted in accordance with the aforesaid requirements, we consider that the basis adopted by the Independent Valuer for determining the market value of the Properties are appropriate.

(iii) Valuation methodology

As disclosed in the Valuation Report (Update), the Independent Valuer adopts comparison approach in valuing the Properties.

According to our discussion with the Independent Valuer, valuations of completed properties are normally conducted in comparison approach and/or income approach. We understand that given data on comparable premises/properties in the Malaysia property market are mostly publicly available, the Independent Valuer considered the adoption of the comparison approach as most appropriate as it could provide a more objective result. In fact, the comparison approach is universally considered as the most accepted valuation approach for valuing most forms of properties. On the contrary, given that the Properties are currently in the construction phase and undergoing the application for the Certificate of Completion and Compliance (“CCC”) such that there are no supporting or actual rental data of the Properties to adopt the income approach, the Independent Valuer is of the opinion that the income approach is less suitable compared to the comparison approach. We understand from the Independent Valuer that the Valuation (Update) was determined based on the assumption that the construction of the Properties is fully completed according to the approved building plans and specifications, and have been issued a CCC by the relevant authority, which is one of the condition precedents of the Master Agreement. As a result, we are of the view that a comparison with the samples of comparable premises/properties is a fair and reasonable approach. Given that comparable premises/properties are available for analysis, we are of the view that these comparable premises/properties provide objective benchmarks for the Valuation (Update). Accordingly, we agree with the Independent Valuer that the comparison approach is appropriate for the Valuation (Update).

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

The Properties comprises 50 units of condominium. Based on our discussion with the Independent Valuer, during the course of the Valuation (Update) under the comparison approach, the Independent Valuer has considered and analysed the sale comparables of properties which fulfilled their selection criteria, including location, level, usage and built-up area. Five comparable sale transactions (the ‘‘Comparable Sale Transactions’’) are selected as the Independent Valuer is of the view that the properties of the Comparable Sale Transactions fulfilled the selection criteria.

The following table sets forth the summary of the Comparable Sale Transactions:

Comparable 1 2 3 4 5
Name of Residence Setia Sky Setia Sky M City M City Reizz Residence
Residence Residence
Unit No. C-13-2 A-23A-3 3-23-18 3-33A-01 45-01
Built Up Area 1,206 1,582 990 883 893
Floor/Level 13 24 23 34 45
Date of Transaction 3/4/2024 29/4/2024 31/1/2024 31/1/2024 10/8/2023
Consideration RM1,050,000/— RM1,400,000/— RM520,000/— RM480,000/— RM900,000/—
Transaction rate RM871 RM885 RM525 RM544 RM1,008
(psf)
Adjustment General adjustments are made on the time factor, floor/level, tenure, age/condition of building,
designed/concept/facilities and service provided
Adjusted rate (psf) RM1,016 RM1,014 RM610 RM600 RM990

Adjusted rate (psf)

Based on the above table, the properties within the Comparable Sale Transactions are situated in the Kuala Lumpur city center. Similar to the Properties, these properties are service apartments categorized for commercial use with freehold tenure located within 5 kilometers of the Properties. All the Comparable Sale Transactions fall within a year preceding the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2. The sizes of these properties range from around 883 Sq. Ft to approximately 1,582 Sq. Ft.

The unit rate adopted in the Valuation (Update) is within the range of the effective saleable unit rates of the Comparable Sale Transactions after due adjustments on the effective unit saleable rates of the Comparable Sale Transactions in terms of their different attributes such as timing of the transactions, floor level, size, tenure, building condition, design, facilities, and property management services. The adopted unit rate is RM987 psf for the benchmark unit (the ‘‘Benchmark Unit Rate’’) on the basis of effective saleable area. We understand that the Independent Valuer multiplied the Benchmark Unit Rate with the corresponding area of all units of the Properties after adjustments on the Benchmark Unit Rate to reflect the variations of different units of the Properties, including their floor level, size and view. By summing up the valuations of all the units of the Properties, the Independent Valuer arrived at the updated valuation of RM65,180,000 for the Properties. We consider that the rationale behind these adjustments is fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

In addition to the Comparable Sale Transactions, the Valuation Report (Update) also disclosed a summary of sales transactions of other Type A unit (with built-up area of 1,013 Sq. Ft.) and Type C unit (with built-up area of 1,668 Sq. Ft.) in Picasso Residence (the ‘‘Properties Transactions’’). The Properties Transactions were recently entered into between the developer and other purchasers in 2023 and 2024. The average unit rate of the Properties Transactions for the Type A unit and Type C unit are approximately RM1,360 and RM1,269 psf respectively.

According to the Valuation Report (Update), the market value of each Type A unit of the Properties under the Valuation (Update) ranges from approximately RM987.0 to RM1,032.9 psf, while the market value of each Type C unit of the Properties under the Valuation (Update) ranges from approximately RM841.9 to RM884.2 psf. Upon comparison, the market value for both Type A and Type C units of the Properties represents a discount to the average transaction price for the same types of units of the Properties Transactions. Such discount ranges from 24.1% to 27.4% for Type A unit; and 30.3% to 33.7% for Type C unit. We noticed that the discount was mainly due to the base rate applied in the Valuation (Update) which was derived from the actual transaction price of the most comparable transaction among the Comparable Sale Transactions, being the transaction of Reizz Residence, whose transaction price was lower than those of the Properties Transactions.

(iv) Valuation assumptions

The Valuation (Update) assumes the Properties are fully completed in accordance with the approved building plans and specifications and duly issued with a CCC, issued by the relevant authority, with vacant possession and free from encumbrances at values as shown in the Valuation Report (Update). In this regard, we noted from the Independent Valuer that these assumptions are commonly adopted in the valuation of properties. Given that we consider it objective and appropriate to appraise the Properties the same way as other similar properties in the open market, the construction of the Properties will fully be completed upon Completion, and that nothing material has come to our attention, we are of the view that these valuation assumptions are fair and reasonable.

Conclusion

Taking into account (i) the scope of work and experiences of the Independent Valuer; (ii) the reasons and appropriateness of adopting the comparison approach for the Valuation (Update); (iii) the basis, assumptions and methodology adopted in the Valuation Report (Update); and (iv) the valuation work performed by the Independent Valuer, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the preparation of the Valuation Report (Update) by the Independent Valuer. In view of the above, we consider that the Valuation (Update) as well as the basis, assumptions and methodology adopted are appropriate. On this basis, we consider the Consideration is fair and reasonable.

6. The Consideration Shares Issue Price

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the Consideration Shares Issue Price, as determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Vendor with reference to the recent price performance of the Shares and the prevailing market conditions prior to the Master Agreement, remained unchanged at HK$0.30.

The Consideration Shares Issue Price therefore represents:

  • (i) a premium of approximately 42.86% to the closing price of the Shares of HK$0.21 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 29 June 2024, being the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2;

  • (ii) a premium of approximately 59.40% to the closing prices of the Shares of HK$0.1882 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2;

  • (iii) a premium of approximately 57.32% to the average of the closing prices of the Shares of HK$0.1907 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2; and

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 28.57% to the unaudited net asset value per Share of the Company as at 30 June 2024 of RM0.24 (equivalent to HK$0.42).

In order to assess its fairness and reasonableness, we have compared the Consideration Shares Issue Price with reference to (a) the historical Share price performance; (b) the historical trading volume and liquidity of the Shares; and (c) the market comparable in respect of recent issuance of consideration shares, as set out below.

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

(a) Analysis of the historical Share price performance

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration Shares Issue Price, we have performed a review on the daily closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the period from the date of the Master Agreement (i.e. 27 April 2023) to the Latest Practicable Date (the ‘‘Review Period’’). We consider that the duration of the Review Period reasonable so as to reflect the general trend and recent market valuation based on the closing price of the Shares on the Stock Exchange.

As illustrated above, during the Review Period, the Share price showed a general descending trend and fluctuated between HK$0.125 (on 4 September, 5 September, 9 September and 10 September of 2024 (the ‘‘Lowest Closing Price’’) and HK$0.37 (on 9 August 2023, 10 August 2023 and 11 August 2023) (the ‘‘Highest Closing Price’’) per Share. The average closing price of the Shares during the Review Period was approximately HK$0.26 per Share (the ‘‘Average Closing Price’’).

Following the publication of the entering into of the Master Agreement in late April 2023 and the first quarterly results announcement for the three months ended 31 March 2023 of the Company in early May 2023, the closing price of the Shares traded within a range between HK$0.31 per Share and HK$0.35 per Share. Thereafter, following the publication of the interim results announcement of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2023 on 8 August 2023, the Share price experienced a temporary upward trend and reached the Highest Closing Price of HK$0.37 per Share on 9 August 2023, 10 August 2023 and 11 August 2023. Subsequently, the Share price dropped to HK$0.26 per Share on 1 November 2023 and rebounded back to HK$0.3 per Share following the publication of the third quarterly results announcement of the Company for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 on 8 November 2023. From then on, the Share price generally exhibited a downward trend and hit HK$0.179 per Share on 25 April 2024.

The Share price has been traded below the Consideration Shares Issue Price since mid-January 2024. Prior to the publication of the entering into the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2, the closing price of the Shares traded within a range between HK$0.179

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

per Share and HK$0.22 per Share from 26 April 2024 to 2 July 2024 and subsequently experienced a downward trend and hit HK$0.129 on 8 August 2024, being the date following the publication of the 2024 Interim Results Announcement. Subsequently, the closing price of the Shares maintained its decline and reached its lowest point during the Review Period at HK$0.125 on 4 September 2024.

Although the Share price has demonstrated a general downward trend during the period between the entering of the Master Agreement and the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2, the Consideration Shares Issue Price remains unchanged at HK$0.30 which is higher than the closing prices of the Shares in 213 out of 343 trading days, or 62.1% of the total number of trading days during the Review Period.

The Consideration Shares Issue Price of HK$0.30 also represents (i) a premium of approximately 140.0% over the Lowest Closing Price of HK$0.125 per Share; (ii) a discount of approximately 18.9% to the Highest Closing Price of HK$0.37 per Share; (iii) a premium of approximately 15.4% over the Average Closing Price of approximately HK$0.26 per Share; and (iv) a discount of approximately 26.3% and 28.6% to the audited net asset value per Share as at 31 December 2023 of approximately RM0.23 per Share (equivalent to HK$0.41 per Share) and the unaudited net asset value per Share as at 30 June 2024 of approximately RM0.24 per Share (equivalent to HK$0.42 per Share) respectively.

As shown in the table above, the average daily volume of the Shares has been generally thin during the Review Period, with average trading volume between approximately 0.002% to approximately 0.136% to the then total number of issued Shares as at the end of their respective month. The highest average daily volume was approximately 816,000 Shares in April 2023, representing approximately 0.136% of the number of issued Shares. The lowest average daily volume was approximately 10,286 Shares in May 2024 and 14,182 Shares in September 2024 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, both representing approximately 0.002% of the number of issued Shares.

(c) Analysis of Comparable Consideration Shares Issue Transactions

To further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration Shares Issue Price, we have, on a best effort basis, researched and identified a list of transactions in relation to acquisitions involving the issue of consideration shares conducted by companies listed on the Stock Exchange (the ‘‘Comparable Consideration Shares Issue Transactions’’) as announced and not terminated or lapsed during the period from 29 December 2023 to the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2 (being approximately six months prior to the date of the Master Agreement) (the ‘‘Comparable Period’’). Considering that recent transactions are more relevant to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration Shares Issue Price, we are of the view that the Comparable Period of approximately six months is reasonable.

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

The issue price of the Comparable Consideration Shares Issue Transactions, as compared to the closing price per share on/prior to the date of agreement, ranged from a discount of approximately 18.6% to a premium of approximately 191.7% with an average premium of 17.5% and a median discount of nil%. The Consideration Shares Issue Price of HK$0.30 per Consideration Share represents a premium of approximately 42.9% compared to the closing price per Share on or before the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2. This premium falls within the range of the premiums seen in Comparable Consideration Shares Issue Transactions and significantly exceeds the average premium and median discount of those transactions.

The issue price of the Comparable Consideration Shares Issue Transactions, as compared to the average closing price per share for the last five consecutive trading days prior to/up to and including the date of agreement, ranged from a discount of approximately 19.2% to a premium of approximately 196.6% with an average premium of 13.5% and a median discount of 0.4%. The Consideration Shares Issue Price of HK$0.30 per Consideration Share represents a significant premium of approximately 59.4% compared to the last five consecutive trading days prior to/up to and including the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2. This premium falls within the range of the premiums seen in Comparable Consideration Shares Issue Transactions and significantly exceeds the average premium and median discount of those transactions.

The issue price of the Comparable Consideration Shares Issue Transactions, as compared to the average closing price per share for the last ten consecutive trading days prior to/up to and including the date of agreement, ranged from a discount of approximately 22.2% to a significant premium of approximately 192.9% with an average premium of 15.1% and median discount of 2.6%. The Consideration Shares Issue Price of HK$0.30 per Consideration Share represents a premium of approximately 57.3% compared to the last ten consecutive trading days prior to/up to and including the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2. This premium falls within the range of the premiums seen in Comparable Consideration Shares Issue Transactions and significantly exceeds the average premium and median discount of those transactions.

Having considered that (i) the premium of the Consideration Shares Issue Price over the closing price per share on or before the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2, as well as over the average closing price per share for the preceding five and ten consecutive trading days up to and including the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2, significantly surpasses the average premium and median discount observed in the Comparable Consideration Shares Issue Transactions; (ii) the Consideration Shares Issue Price is higher than the closing prices of the Shares on approximately 62.1% of the total number of trading days during the Review Period; (iii) the Consideration Shares Issue Price falls within the range of closing price during the Review Period; and (iv) the trading of Shares are inactive throughout the Review Period as illustrated in the paragraph headed ‘‘Liquidity Analysis’’ in this letter, we are of the view that the Consideration Shares Issue Price is fair and reasonable.

7. Payment terms

Under the Master Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Master Agreement), the Consideration of approximately RM61,982,000 shall be paid by the Company for and on behalf of the Purchaser in the following manner:

  • (1) the Cash Consideration of approximately RM7,437,840 shall be paid in the following manner and shall form part of the Consideration on the Unconditional Date:

  • (a) 10% of the Consideration (equivalent to RM6,198,200) shall be paid in cash within 14 days from the date of the Master Agreement; and

  • (b) 2% of the Consideration (equivalent to RM1,239,640) shall be paid in cash within 14 days from the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement; and

  • (2) the Consideration Balance of approximately RM54,544,160 shall be satisfied by the Consideration Shares Issue within the Consideration Shares Settlement Period.

We note that the first tranche and second tranche of the Cash Consideration has been paid to PRGH. The settlement of the remaining Consideration by the Consideration Shares Issue would prevent the Group from further cash outflow and debt accumulation, while also preserving cash for financing the Group’s other projects and general working capital purpose.

The Cash Consideration of RM7,437,840 has been settled and paid about a year ago whilst the Properties have not been transferred due to unfulfillment of conditions precedent. We consider there is a potential deposit interest income forgone from the Purchaser’s perspective. Taking into account of the Overnight Policy Rate in Malaysia of 3% as at the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2, the amount of the interest income forgone by the Purchaser would be approximately RM223,135.

8. Adjusted Consideration

The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiation between PRGH and the Purchaser having regard to the Valuation (Original) of RM70.4 million as at 5 July 2023 appraised by the Independent Valuer. According to the Valuation Report (Update) on the Properties prepared by the Independent Valuer as set out in the Appendix III to the Circular (Update), the Valuation (Update) amounted to RM65.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately 7.4% when compared to the Valuation (Original).

On the other hand, as illustrated in the section headed ‘‘Analysis of the historical Share price performance’’ in this letter, the Share price has exhibited a declining pattern during the Review Period, with the closing price per share at HK$0.21 as at the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2 representing a substantial decrease of approximately 34.4% from the closing price of HK$0.32 per share quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Master Agreement.

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

Taking into account the changes in the valuation of the properties and the Company’s market capitalisation from the date of the Master Agreement and the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2 and the interest income forgone by the Purchaser, we further assess the Consideration by aligning it with the closing price of the Share as at the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement No. 2. Set out below is the calculation of the adjusted Consideration (the ‘‘Adjusted Consideration’’):

Cash consideration paid in cash within 14 days from
the date of the Master Agreement
Cash consideration paid in cash within 14 days from
the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement
Deposit interest income forgone by the Purchaser
Implied value of the Consideration Balance adjusted for
closing price of the Shares of HK$0.21 per Share
as at the trading day prior to the date of the Supplemental Master
Agreement No. 2 (321,756,000 Consideration Shares HK$0.21/
1.7697
)
The Adjusted Consideration
RM(’000)
6,198.2
1,239.6
223.1
38,180.9
45,841.8

Note: RM1.0 to HK$1.7697 according to the Agreed Exchange Rate

Based on the above calculation, the Adjusted Consideration of approximately RM45.8 million represents a discount of approximately 29.7% to the Valuation (Update).

Based on above, it is evident that the delayed delivery of the Properties would result in additional time-related costs for the Purchaser. However, after incorporating the time cost into the Adjusted Consideration, the premium associated with the Valuation (Update) appears to adequately offset such time costs. Therefore, we consider that the payment terms, once the time costs are considered, are reasonable and justifiable.

LETTER FROM OCTAL CAPITAL

  1. According to the disclosure of interest form filed by Jim Ka Man, Jim Ka Man was deemed to be interested in 57,368,000 Shares of which 53,572,000 Shares were beneficially owned by her and she was deemed to be interested in 3,796,000 Shares held directly by her spouse under Part XV of the SFO. Jim Ka Man was a director of a subsidiary of the Company on the date of the conditional sale and purchase agreement dated 27 April 2023 entered into between PRGH as vendor, the Purchaser as purchaser and the Company and was therefore a core connected person of the Company as at that date. Jim Ka Man has ceased as a core connected person of the Company upon her resignation as such a director on 31 May 2023 prior to the date of the Supplemental Master Agreement and the Shares held by her are regarded as being in the public hands under Rule 11.23(7) as from the date of her resignation.

As shown in the shareholding table above, upon Completion, a total of 321,756,000 Consideration Shares will be issued to PRGH as the Consideration Balance pursuant to the Master Agreement. As a result, the existing Share capital in issue will be enlarged by approximately 53.49% upon Completion. The aggregate shareholding of the existing public Shareholders will then be diluted from approximately 38.39% to approximately 25.01%, representing a dilution of approximately 13.38%.

We noted that the issuance of the Consideration Shares will result in a dilution effect for the public Shareholders. Nonetheless, taking into account (i) the Consideration Shares Issue Price is fair and reasonable as elaborated above; (ii) the information set out under the section headed ‘‘Reasons for and benefits of the Purchase’’ in this letter; and (iii) the issue of Consideration Shares can reduce the Company’s cash outflow for the Purchase and allows the Group to preserve cash for financing the Group’s other projects and general working capital purpose, we concur with the Directors that the level of dilution is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders.

10. Financial effect of the Purchase

Upon Completion, the Properties will be recognized as non-current assets of the Group at their costs at the time of acquisition, being the aggregate of the consideration of RM61,982,000 and the directly attributable expenditure incurred by the Company for the Purchase.

Given that upon Completion, the Properties will be recognised as non-current assets of the Group at their costs at the time of acquisition, being the aggregate of the Consideration of RM61,982,000 and the directly attributable expenditure incurred by the Company for the Purchase, such as stamp duty and professional fee. Specifically, the Properties which are to be held solely for rental or for sale would be classified as ‘‘investment property’’. The Company has already settled the Cash Consideration with internal cash resources. The issuance of the Consideration Shares for the Consideration Balance will enhance the net asset value of the Group. Overall, it is expected that the Purchase will have positive financial impact on the net asset value of the Group.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purpose only and do not purport to represent how the financial results and the financial position of the Group will be upon the Completion.

Opinion and Recommendation

Having considered the principal factors and reasons as discussed above, we are of the opinion that the entering into the Master Agreement involving the Consideration Shares Issue is not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group because of its ‘‘one-off’’ nature. Nevertheless, the terms and conditions of the Master Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Master Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including without limitation, the Purchase and the Consideration Shares Issue.

Yours faithfully For and on behalf of Octal Capital Limited

The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sales of elastic textile, webbing and rubber tape, and energy efficiency business.

The prevailing economic conditions, marked by higher-than-anticipated inflation rates and interest rate hikes have triggered a ripple effect across global household consumption patterns. The economic condition is further compounded by negative spillovers emanating from the conflict in Ukraine and the sluggish recovery trajectory of China, which collectively contribute to heightened uncertainty in the global economic landscape. For manufacturing sector, grappling with supply chain disruptions, escalating cost due to inflation, and subdued demand due to higher interest rates poses formidable challenges to sustaining operational efficacy and

profitability. In response to this dynamic landscape, the Group has adopted a strategic approach, recalibrating market strategies, revisiting pricing frameworks, and streamline cost structures to maintain competitiveness.

In parallel, the energy efficiency sector witnesses a surge in global energy consumption amidst higher energy prices and apprehensions surrounding potential disruptions in oil and gas supplies. Simultaneously, escalating concerns about climate change drives governments worldwide to enact stringent policies emphasizing energy efficiency, greenhouse gas reduction, and sustainability. Within this shifting paradigm, the growth prospects for businesses operating in the energy efficiency sector remain promising, buoyed by government support for environment initiative and increasing focus on environmental, social, and governance considerations.

The global economy is facing an increasingly gloomy and uncertain outlook, the Group will remain resilient and vigilant to manage the associated risks in order to maintain the sustainability of the businesses.

3. BASIS OF VALUATION

Market Value

Our basis of valuation is the Market Value. Market Value is the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

Each element of the definition has its own conceptual framework.

  • a) ‘‘The estimated amount’’ refers to a price expressed in terms of money payable for the asset in an arm’s length market transaction. Market Value is the most probable price reasonably obtainable in the market on the valuation date in keeping with the Market Value definition. It is the best price reasonably obtainable by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of value available only to a specific owner or purchaser.

  • b) ‘‘An asset or liability should exchange’’ refers to the fact that the value of an asset or liability is an estimated amount rather than a predetermined amount or actual sale price. It is the price in a transaction that meets all the elements of the Market Value definition at the valuation date.

  • c) ‘‘On the valuation date’’ requires that the value is time-specific as of a given date. Because markets and market conditions may change, the estimated value may be incorrect or inappropriate at another time. The valuation amount will reflect the market state and circumstances as the valuation date, not those at any other date.

  • d) ‘‘Between a willing buyer’’ refers to one who is motivated, but not compelled to buy. This buyer is neither over eager nor determined to buy at any price. This buyer is also one who purchases in accordance with the realities of the current market and with current market expectations, rather than in relation to an imaginary or hypothetical market that cannot be demonstrated or anticipated to exist. The assumed buyer would not pay a higher price than the market requires. The present owner is included among those who constitute ‘‘the market’’.

  • e) ‘‘And a willing seller’’ is neither an over eager nor a forced seller prepared to sell at any price, nor one prepared to hold out for a price not considered reasonable in the current market. The willing seller is motivated to sell the asset

– II-5 –

VALUATION REPORT (ORIGINAL)

APPENDIX II

at market terms for the best price attainable in the open market after proper marketing, whatever that price may be. The factual circumstances of the actual owner are not a part of this consideration because the willing seller is a hypothetical owner.

  • f) ‘‘In an arm’s length transaction’’ is one between parties who do not have a particular or special relationship e.g., parent and subsidiary companies or landlord and tenant that may make the price level uncharacteristic of the market or inflated. The Market Value transaction is presumed to be between unrelated parties, each acting independently.

  • g) ‘‘After proper marketing’’ means that the asset has been exposed to the market in the most appropriate manner to effect its disposal at the best price reasonably obtainable in accordance with the Market Value definition. The method of sale is deemed to be that most appropriate to obtain the best price in the market to which the seller has access. The length of exposure time is not a fixed period but will vary according to the type of asset and market conditions. The only criterion is that there must have been sufficient time to allow the asset to be brought to the attention of an adequate number of market participants. The exposure period occurs prior to the valuation date.

  • h) ‘‘Where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently’’ presumes that both the willing buyer and the willing seller are reasonably informed about the nature and characteristics of the asset, its actual and potential uses, and the state of the market as of the valuation date. Each is further presumed to use that knowledge prudently to seek the price that is most favourable for their respective positions in the transaction. Prudence is assessed by referring to the state of the market at the valuation date, not with benefit of hindsight at some later date. For example, it is not necessarily imprudent for a seller to sell assets in a market with falling prices at a price that is lower than previous market levels. In such cases, as is true for other exchanges in markets with changing prices, the prudent buyer or seller will act in accordance with the best market information available at the time.

  • i) ‘‘And without compulsion’’ establishes that each party is motivated to undertake the transaction, but neither is forced or unduly coerced to complete it.

4. DATE OF INSPECTION

The Subject Property was inspected on 5th July 2023 by Sr. Loo Boon Wei (V 988) and Mr. Wong Wan Sang (PV 2657).

15. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

The Subject Property comprises 50 condominium units on base basis with two (2) different types of layouts located on 16th to 37th floors of Block A, Picasso Residence at Jalan Jelatek, Kuala Lumpur. For the purposes of this valuation, we have used two-tiered adjustment approach in arriving at our opinion of value.

First Tier — Value of Base Unit

Under this tier, we have selected one of the 50 units forming the Subject Property as a Base Unit. We have adopted Comparison Approach methods of valuation to determine the value of Base Unit. We are of the opinion that the Comparison Approach would be the most appropriate method of valuation methodology in assessing the Market Value of the Subject Property compared to the Income Approach by Investment Method which is less appropriate as the Subject Property is currently under construction period. Hence, we do not have any supporting/actual rental data of the Subject Property to apply in the Income Approach by Investment Method to arriving the Market Value of the Subject Property.

Second Tier — Aggregate Value and Market Value of the Subject Property

We have made further adjustments of Base Unit to reflect the micro dissimilarities include built-up area, position, floor level and facing/view of the remaining 49 units. The Market Value of the Subject Property is the aggregate values of the 50 units of condominiums.

16. COMPARISON APPROACH

First Tier — Value of Base Unit (i.e. Unit No. A-26–05)

Comparison Approach provides an indication of value by comparing the property with market evidence of identical or comparable (that is similar) properties for which price information is available, such as a comparison with market transaction in the same, or closely similar, type of property within an appropriate time horizon where dissimilarities exist, adjustments are made. In arriving at the value we have, amongst others, considered the following transactions:

The comparable price per square foot between 2023 and 2024 marks a fall in price per square foot which affects the current market value of the subject property from RM70,355,000/- to RM65,180,000/- due to a decrease in Sales Transaction Per Square Foot.

6. PLANNING PROVISION

The Subject Property is located within an area designated for residential use (no changes as per the previous valuation).

7. EXISTING USE AND OCCUPANCY STATUS

As at the date of our site inspection, we noted that the subject site is undergoing construction of the aforementioned development. We were informed by the developer that Tower A (phase 1 of the development) is estimated to be completed by 4th Quarter of 2024.

8. VALUATION APPROACH

The Subject Property is valued by adopting the Comparison Approach. We are of the opinion that the Comparison Approach would be the most appropriate method of valuation methodology in assessing the Market Value of the Subject Property compared to the Income Approach by Investment Method which is less appropriate as the Subject Property is currently under construction period and currently applying CCC for tower A. Hence, we do not have any supporting or actual rental data of the Subject Property to apply the Income Approach by Investment Method to arriving the Market Value of the Subject Property.

For Comparison Approach, there are changes in comparables due to slight decrease on the Sales Transaction Per Square Foot.

APPENDIX III

This cautious approach among developers can be attributed to various factors, including the high interest rate environment, escalating costs of building materials, geopolitical risks, and the global economic slowdown. However, this decline is viewed positively as a market correction, addressing the issue of property overhang. The cumulative supply of high-end condominiums/residences in Kuala Lumpur stood at 80,616 units. During 1H2024, three projects were completed, adding 1,846 units to the existing stock. Moving forward, the scheduled completions of several projects by 2H2024 will collectively add approximately 5,866 units to the existing cumulative stock.

The high-end high-rise residential segment in Klang Valley is currently experiencing significant growth in market activity however certain areas in the region is currently facing negative performance. This upward trend is highlighted by rising sales volumes and an increase in the number of newly launched projects. Over the past six months, there has been a concentration of developments in KL City Centre, reflecting a shift towards investment portfolios, especially with the introduction of ROI rental programmes. The market’s momentum is further bolstered by government initiatives aligned with the MADANI economic framework.
