The expected decrease in 2019 First Quarterly Revenue and 2019 First Quarterly Profit were mainly due to the following reasons:
-
(i) up to 28 February 2019, approximately 79.2% of the Project W (as defined in the prospectus of the Company dated 29 September 2018) has been completed; and thus the contribution of Project W to the total revenue of Group decreased accordingly in which it only contributed to approximately 13.8% of the total revenue of the Group for the three months ended 28 February 2019 as compared to its contribution of approximately 65.9% of the total revenue of the Group for the three months ended 28 February 2018; and
-
(ii) since the Service Tax Act 2018 became effective in Malaysia on 1 September 2018, the tax imposed on the provision of information technology services has increased to a rate of 6% as compared to 0% previously, and such increase has resulted in some customers of the Group delaying their projects as previously scheduled.
