(Registration No. 200201024235 (591898-H))
Part A – Explanatory Notes Pursuant to FRS 134
A1. Basis of Preparation.
The interim financial report is unaudited and has been prepared in accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”) 134 “Interim Financial Reporting” and Paragraph 9.22 of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad for the ACE Market. The interim financial report should also be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2025.
A2. Adoption of Revised Financial Reporting
The significant accounting policies and methods of computation adopted by the Group in the interim financial statements are consistent with those of the audited financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.
The Group have adopted the following new accounting standards and/or interpretations (including the consequential amendments, if any):
MFRSs and/or IC Interpretations (Including the Consequential Amendments)
Amendments to MFRS 16: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
Amendments to MFRS 101: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
Amendments to MFRS 101: Non-current Liabilities with Covenants
Amendments to MFRS 107 and MFRS 7: Supplier Finance Arrangements
The following Standards were issued but not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Group:
| MFRSs and/or IC Interpretations (Including the Consequential Amendments) | Effective for financial periods beginning on or after |
|---|---|
| MFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements | 1 January 2027 |

A3. Auditors’ Report on Preceding Annual Financial Statements
The auditors had opined, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion as disclosed below, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 30 June 2025.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The consolidated financial statements include intangible assets (development expenditure) of RM9,547,941 allocated to a specific cash-generating unit (CGU) included in the total development expenditure capitalized of RM28,999,516 as stated in note 8 to the financial statements. Management assessed the carrying amount of this CGU for impairment using value-in-use (VIU) models based on forecast cash flows derived from projected contract revenues. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the reasonableness of the revenue growth assumptions used in these models. This limitation arose due to the absence of corroborative documentation, such as signed client contracts, binding sales orders, credible market studies, or other reliable evidence to substantiate the forecast revenues. Our audit procedures, including sensitivity analyses and reviews of historical performance, indicate that the revenue forecasts may overstate the recoverable amount of this CGU potentially requiring an impairment of the related development expenditure.
We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Part B – Additional Information required by Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad’s Listing Requirements
B1. Performance Review
Current Quarter vs Previous Year Quarter
For the current quarter ended 31 March 2026, the Group recorded revenue of RM6.57 million compared to RM7.11 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, representing a decrease of approximately 7.7%. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower sales orders secured during the period, coupled with lower recognition of project milestones from ongoing projects within the existing order book.
The Group recorded a loss before taxation of RM2.96 million as compared to RM2.21 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The higher loss was primarily due to higher material costs and increased unrealized foreign exchange losses arising from currency fluctuations during the quarter. This was partially offset by lower employee benefit expenses and depreciation charges.
B2. Variation of Results against the Preceding Quarter
| | Current Quarter
31 Mar 2026
RM'000 | Preceding Quarter
31 Dec 2025
RM'000 | Difference
(%) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Revenue | 6,565 | 6,473 | 1% |
| Loss before taxation | (2,962) | (5,404) | 45% |
For the quarter ended 31 March 2026, the Group achieved a revenue of RM6.6 million, which is comparable to the RM7.7 million achieved in the preceding quarter. The Group recorded a lower loss before taxation of approximately RM3.0 million, compared to a loss before taxation of RM5.4 million in the preceding quarter. The significant decrease in loss was mainly due to lower manpower incurred as well as lower foreign exchange losses recorded during the period.
The Group’s order book amounted to approximately RM32 million as at 31 Mar 26 as compared to approximately RM29 million as at the end of immediately preceding quarter.
B3. Prospect
The Group remains cautious given the prevailing macroeconomic uncertainties, competitive industry landscape, and the typically longer gestation periods associated with digital transformation projects. While we recognize the challenges ahead, we remain steadfast that our strategic approach will position the Group for long term sustainable success. Our key priorities will be optimizing operations to improve efficiency, maintaining strict cash flow to ensure financial stability, and intensifying our sales and marketing efforts to drive revenue growth. In addition, the Group is also exploring potential fundraising initiatives, including IPO-related exercises, within certain business units and subsidiaries to strengthen their capital position, support future expansion plans, and enhance long-term shareholder value. The Group’s net current asset position, supported by sufficient cash reserves, provides a strong foundation for undertaking these priorities and supporting ongoing business activities.
B4. Profit Forecast and Profit Guarantee
The Group has not issued any profit forecast or profit guarantee.
B5. Dividend
No dividend has been recommended for the quarter under review.
B6. Material Litigation
The Group is not engaged in any material litigation either as plaintiff or defendant and the directors do not have any knowledge of any proceedings pending or threatened against the Group.
