UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A EXPLANATORY NOTES
A1 Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards ("MFRS") 134 – Interim Financial Reporting issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board and Chapter 9, Part K Rule 9.22 and Appendix 9B of the ACE Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("Bursa Securities").

The adoption of the following MFRS that came into effect on 1 January 2026 did not have any significant impact of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon their initial application.

A3 Audit report of preceding annual financial statements
The auditors' report on the annual financial statements of the Group for the financial period ended 31 December 2025 was qualified and the details of the qualification are as described below:
Details of the qualified opinion disclosed in the external auditors' report
In our opinion, except for the effects of the matters described in the Basis of Qualified Opinion section of our report, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2025, and of their financial performance and cash flows for the financial period from 1 July 2024 to 31 December 2025 in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.

Basis for Qualified Opinion
The Group's investment in Pictureworks International Holdings Limited ("PWIH") was accounted for as an associate using the equity method up to the date when the Group lost significant influence over PWIH during the financial period. Following the loss of significant influence, the remaining interest was reclassified and measured as a financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") in accordance with MFRS 9, as disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements.
For the period during which PWIH was accounted for as an associate, the Group recognised its share of results of PWIH in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
However, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in respect of the Group's share of results of PWIH recognised in the current financial period of RM2,417,506, and the corresponding comparative period of RM3,391,707, as disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements as we were unable to obtain access to the relevant financial information of PWIH and did not receive the necessary information from the component auditors within the audit timeframe.
Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments might have been necessary to the Group's share of results of associates recognised in profit or loss, and the related disclosures in the financial statements.
A4 Seasonal or cyclical factors
The business operations of the Group were not significantly affected by seasonal or cyclical factors during the financial quarter under review.
A5 Unusual items affecting assets, liabilities, equity, net income or cash flows
There were no unusual items affecting the assets, liabilities, equity, net income or cash flows of the Group for the current financial quarter and financial period-to-date under review.
A6 Material changes in estimates
Not applicable as there were no estimates reported by the Group in the prior financial years.
A7 Debt and equity securities
There were no issuances, cancellations, repurchases, resale or repayments of debt and equity securities during the current quarter under review.
A8 Dividends
There were no dividends declared or paid in the current financial quarter under review.

B ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THE ACE MARKET LISTING REQUIREMENTS OF BURSA SECURITIES
B1 Review of performance
The Group has streamlined its businesses into 2 major segments, namely OmniChannel and Presto:
(i) OmniChannel comprises the Group's media, advertising and digital imaging business; and
(ii) Presto covers the Group's digital ecosystem platform businesses which consists of e-commerce, fintech, online aggregation service and online content creation businesses.
For the current quarter ended 31 March 2026 ("Q1 FY2026"), the Group recorded revenue of RM6.59 million as compared to RM17.01 million in the corresponding quarter ended 31 March 2025 ("Q1 FY2025"), representing a decrease of RM10.43 million or 61%. The decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to lower contribution from the Presto segment during the current quarter under review.
The Group recorded a loss after taxation ("LAT") of RM1.92 million in Q1 FY2026 as compared to a profit after taxation ("PAT") of RM0.20 million in Q1 FY2025. The loss incurred during the current quarter was mainly due to lower revenue which resulted in lower gross profit generated to cover the Group's operating expenses.
The improvement was primarily driven by:
OmniChannel
The OmniChannel segment recorded revenue of RM4.05 million in Q1 FY2026 as compared to RM0.45 million in Q1 FY2025, representing an increase of RM3.60 million or 800%.
The segment recorded a PAT of RM3.88 million as compared to a LAT of RM0.66 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The improvement was mainly attributable to new business secured for media advertisement and promoting services during the current quarter.
Presto
The Presto segment recorded revenue of RM2.09 million in Q1 FY2026 as compared to RM16.56 million in Q1 FY2025, representing a decrease of RM14.47 million or 87%.
The segment recorded a LAT of RM4.34 million as compared to a PAT of RM3.37 million in Q1 FY2025. The decline was mainly due to lower sales contribution and weaker operating performance during the current quarter.
Corporate and Others
The Corporate and Others segment recorded revenue of RM0.45 million in Q1 FY2026 with a LAT of RM1.46 million. The loss was mainly attributable to administrative and corporate expenses incurred.
Overall, the Group's performance for the current quarter was affected by the weaker contribution from the Presto segment. Nevertheless, the Group continued to record positive contribution from the OmniChannel segment following the securing of new business opportunities for media advertisement and promoting services.

B2 Variation of results against preceding quarter
| CURRENT QUARTER 31/12/2020 RM '000 | PRECEDING QUARTER 31/12/2020 RM '000 | VARIANCE | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RM '000 | % | |||
| Revenue | 6,585 | 6,483 | 102 | 2% |
| Profit/(Loss) before taxation | (1,923) | (34,045) | 32,122 | -94% |
The Group recorded revenue of RM6.59 million for the current quarter ended 31 March 2026 ("Q1 FY2026"), representing an increase of RM0.10 million or 2% as compared to RM6.48 million recorded in the preceding quarter ended 31 December 2025 ("Q4 FY2025"). The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to higher sales contribution from the Group's core business operations during the current quarter.
The Group recorded a loss before tax of RM1.92 million in Q1 FY2026 as compared to loss before tax of RM34.05 million in Q4 FY2025, representing an improvement of RM32.12 million or 94%. The significant improvement was mainly due to the absence of substantial one-off impairments recognised in the preceding quarter, coupled with improved operational performance during the current quarter.
B3 Prospects
During the quarter, the OmniChannel segment was the Group's principal contributor, recording revenue of RM4.05 million and returning to profitability following new mandates secured for media advertisement and promoting services. The Group intends to build on this momentum by securing further advertising mandates, deepening client relationships, broadening its service offerings and improving operational efficiency within the segment.
The Presto segment recorded lower revenue during the quarter, reflecting reduced sales contribution and a weaker operating performance across its digital ecosystem activities. The Group is reviewing and repositioning the segment, with a focus on strengthening strategic partner collaborations, enhancing platform capabilities and rebuilding transaction volumes over the coming periods.
On the strategic front, the Group obtained conditional approval from the Labuan Financial Services Authority ("Labuan FSA") to undertake investment banking activities. This represents a significant step in the Group's measured expansion into regulated financial services. Upon fulfilment of the relevant conditions, the proposed investment bank is expected to broaden the Group's service portfolio and create new avenues for fee-based income over the longer term.
Taken together, the Group remains cautiously optimistic on its outlook. Growth will continue to be pursued primarily through internal resources and operational improvements, complemented, where appropriate, by equity fundraising or strategic partnerships. The Board will keep shareholders informed of material developments through the appropriate channels in accordance with the ACE Market Listing Requirements.
B4 Profit forecast or profit guarantee
The Group has not issued nor disclosed in any public document any profit forecast or profit guarantee for the current quarter under review.
