| Key information | Description | Reference to Part A of the Circular |
|---|---|---|
| Brief details of the Proposed Acquisition | The Proposed Acquisition entails the acquisition by WESB of the Subject Properties to be erected on the Master Land, forming part of the Galaxy Industrial Park, from TGDSB, being a related party, for the Purchase Consideration. | |
| In view of the interests of certain related parties, the Proposed Acquisition is deemed as a related party transaction. | Section 2 | |
| Rationale of the Proposed Acquisition | The Group has identified the Subject Properties to house its dedicated finishing operations for products fabricated at Lot 815. This will free up additional space at Lot 815, thereby increasing the area available for fabrication activities. This is expected to improve overall production capacity and contribute positively to the Group's financial performance. | |
| Given the close proximity of the Subject Properties to Lot 815, the Proposed Acquisition is expected to facilitate efficient integration and minimise logistical lead time between the Group's fabrication facilities and finishing operations. | ||
| The separation of the finishing processes pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition will minimise potential contamination risk and is anticipated to enhance the Group's appeal to new potential customers, especially those seeking stringent finishing standards. This strategic enhancement is expected to support the Group's efforts to expand its customer base across domestic and regional markets, including the growing machinery and equipment manufacturing industry as well as semiconductor manufacturing machinery and medical devices industries. | ||
| The Board (save for Ban Kim Wah and Wong Chun Wei) believes that the Proposed Acquisition represents a strategic decision which will potentially contribute positively to the Group's future earnings and create long-term value for the Group. | Section 3 | |
| Approvals required | The Proposed Acquisition is subject to approvals being obtained from the following: | |
| (i) the Company's non-interested shareholders at the forthcoming EGM; and | ||
| (ii) any other relevant authorities/ parties, if required. | Section 7 |

2.2 Basis and justification in arriving at the Purchase Consideration
The Purchase Consideration was arrived at on a "willing-buyer willing-seller" basis after taking into consideration the market value of the respective Subject Properties as follows:
| Subject Properties | *Market value (RM) | Purchase Consideration (RM) |
|---|---|---|
| Subject Property 1 | 17,900,000 | 17,880,750 |
| Subject Property 2 | 12,000,000 | 11,696,220 |
| Total | 29,900,000 | 29,576,970 |
Note:
- As appraised by the independent registered valuer, namely JLW as at the date of valuation on 11 March 2026, and as outlined in the Valuation Report on the basis that the Subject Properties are completed in accordance with the building plans with a certificate of completion and compliance issued and with all the relevant contributions, charges and fees fully paid in accordance with the draft SPAs. The Valuation Certificate and Valuation Report have been prepared in compliance with the Asset Valuation Guidelines issued by the Securities Commission Malaysia.
Market value used in this context is defined as "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 and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion".
- THE REST OF THIS PAGE HAS BEEN INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK-
In arriving at the market value of the respective Subject Properties, the Valuer has considered the Comparison Approach and Cost Approach, details of which are as follows:
(i) Comparison Approach
The Comparison Approach entails comparison of the properties under valuation with sales of other similar properties. Where dissimilarities exist between the comparable properties and the Subject Properties in terms of location, property type, building condition, size and gated and guarded features, appropriate adjustments have been made. Adjustments have also been made to account for time differences between the transaction dates of the sales of the comparable properties and the valuation date.
(ii) Cost Approach
The Cost Approach entails assessing the aggregate amount of the value of the land component and the gross replacement cost of the buildings and other site improvements, allowing for depreciation.
The value of the land component is arrived by the Comparison Approach whereby comparison is made of the property under valuation with sales of other similar properties. Where dissimilarities exist between the comparable properties and the Subject Properties in terms of location, size and tenure, appropriate adjustments have been made. Adjustments have also been made to account for time differences between the transaction dates of the sales of the comparable properties and the valuation date.
For building component, the replacement cost was arrived at by referencing to construction costs as per the Building Cost Information Services Malaysia (BCISM) Costbook 2025 and by adding in site improvement cost which reflects the costs for site preparation, earthworks and external infrastructure development.
The Valuer did not adopt the Income Approach by way of Investment Method as there is a lack of rental evidence which is publicly available and which can be relied upon.
Based on the above valuation approaches, the reconciliation of the market value of the respective Subject Properties are as follows:
| Valuation Methodology | Market value (RM) | |
|---|---|---|
| Subject Property 1 | Subject Property 2 | |
| Comparison Approach | 17,900,000 | 12,000,000 |
| Cost Approach | 17,900,000 | 12,000,000 |
The Valuer has adopted the Comparison Approach as the primary approach in formulating its opinion on the market value of the respective Subject Properties. The Cost Approach is not adopted as the Subject Properties have yet to be constructed, which gives rise to uncertainties in construction costs and renders the final completed form not readily ascertainable. Hence, the Cost Approach is only adopted as a check by the Valuer.
The Board (save for Ban Kim Wah and Wong Chun Wei) is of the view that the Purchase Consideration is justifiable after taking into consideration the following:
(i) it represents a discount of RM0.32 million or approximately $1.08\%$ to the total market values of the Subject Properties as appraised by the Valuer;
(ii) the rationale of the Proposed Acquisition as set out in Section 3, Part A of this Circular; and
(iii) the prospects of the Subject Properties as set out in Section 4.3, Part A of this Circular.

2.3 Mode of settlement
The Purchase Consideration is to be settled entirely in cash in the following manner:
| No. | Payment Schedule | Subject Property 1 | Subject Property 2 | *Total (RM) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amount (RM) | % | Amount (RM) | % | |||

(1) Fully paid as at the LPD via the Company's internally-generated funds.
(2) The handover of the Subject Properties is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2029.
2.4 Source of funding
The Purchase Consideration will be satisfied via a combination of internally-generated funds and bank borrowings. Purely for illustration purposes, the proportion of the funding is assumed as follows:
| Source of funding | RM | % |
|---|---|---|
| Internally-generated funds | 8,873,091 | 30.00 |
| Bank borrowings | 20,703,879 | 70.00 |
| Total | 29,576,970 | 100.00 |
The above allocation is based on the Company's internal preliminary discussions and is subject to change, after taking into consideration, among others, the gearing level, interest costs and internal cash requirements of the Group at the relevant time.
2.5 Liabilities to be assumed by the Company
Save for the obligations and liabilities arising from the SPAs as set out in Appendix I of this Circular, there are no other liabilities, including contingent liabilities, and/or guarantees to be assumed by the Group arising from the Proposed Acquisition.
2.6 Additional financial commitment required
Save for the Purchase Consideration, there is no other additional financial commitment required by the Group to put the Subject Properties on-stream upon delivery of vacant possession by the Vendor to WESB.
2.7 Original cost and dates of investment
The original cost and the dates of investment by the Vendor in Plot A1 and Plot A2, being the lands on which the Subject Property 1 and Subject Property 2 are to be erected respectively, are as follows:
| Dates of investment | Original cost of investment (RM'000) |

| FYE 2025 | 33,250 | 26,615 | 80.05 |
Notes:
(1) The Group's semifinished metal products and metal parts are fabricated using the same machinery and equipment at both Lot 11 and Lot 58. Hence, the production capacity, output and utilisation rates of the Group's fabrication plants are assessed collectively as it is not practical to segment them separately. The main in-house machinery and equipment categories that apply to the Group's fabrication of semifinished metal products and metal parts business activities are CNC laser cutting and/or turret punching, CNC bending, welding, CNC milling and surface coating.
(2) The capacity for each machine or equipment is calculated based on the following assumptions:
(i) FYE 2023 and FYE 2025
- Based on 20 operating hours per day from Monday to Sunday for 365 days per year, less 15 gazetted public holidays and less 5% to take into account machinery downtime and maintenance, equivalent to 6,650 hours per year.
(ii) FYE 2024
- Based on 20 operating hours per day from Monday to Sunday for 366 days per year, less 15 gazetted public holidays and less 5% to take into account machinery downtime and maintenance, equivalent to 6,669 hours per year.
(3) The production capacity of each category of machine or equipment is computed based on the number of units and their respective operational periods, as follows:
(i) CNC laser cutting and/or turret punching machines
- 8 units operational for 12 months of FYE 2023
- 7 units operational for 12 months and 1 unit operational for 3 months of FYE 2024
- 7 units operational for 12 months of FYE 2025
(ii) CNC bending machines
- 12 units operational for 12 months of FYE 2023, FYE 2024 and FYE 2025
(iii) Welding machines
- 11 units operational for 12 months and 3 units operational for 10 months of FYE 2023
- 14 units operational for 12 months of FYE 2024 and FYE 2025
(iv) CNC milling machines
- 8 units operational for 12 months of FYE 2023
- 8 units operational for 12 months and 2 units operational for 6 months of FYE 2024
- 11 units operational for 12 months and 1 unit operational for 3 months of FYE 2025
(v) Surface coating
- 4 powder coating lines and 1 zinc electroplating line operational for 12 months of FYE 2023, FYE 2024 and FYE 2025
As part of the Group's strategic initiative to enhance its production capacity, the Group intends to establish the finishing processes (which involves buffing and surface coating) for products fabricated at Lot 815 at a separate facility. This will free up additional space at Lot 815, thereby increasing the area available for fabrication activities.
The proposed arrangement is expected to improve overall production capacity and contribute positively to the Group's financial performance. Hence, the Group has been identifying suitable locations to establish a facility dedicated to the finishing processes for products fabricated at Lot 815.
In this regard, the Group has identified the Subject Properties with an approximate total built-up area of 50,741 sq. ft. to house its dedicated finishing operations for products fabricated at Lot 815, taking into consideration the strategic location of the Subject Properties, which are situated approximately 0.5 kilometres ("km") from Lot 815. The close proximity is expected to facilitate efficient integration and minimise logistical lead time between the Group's fabrication facilities and finishing operations.

The expected annual production capacity after the relocation and completion of Proposed Acquisition are as follows:
| (1)Expected annual production capacity (hours) | ||
|---|---|---|
| (2)After relocation | (3)After completion of Proposed Acquisition | |
| CNC laser cutting and/or turret punching | 73,150 | 73,150 |

(3) The production capacity of each category of machine or equipment is computed based on the number of units and their respective operational periods, as follows:
(i) CNC laser cutting and/or turret punching machines
- 11 units operational for 12 months
(ii) CNC bending machines
- 15 units operational for 12 months
(iii) Welding machines
- 22 units operational for 12 months
(iv) CNC milling machines
- 24 units operational for 12 months
(v) Surface coating
- 9 powder coating lines, 2 zinc electroplating lines, 1 sandblasting line, 3 spray systems, and 1 aluminium coating line operational for 12 months
Further, the separation of the finishing processes will minimise potential contamination risks and meet customers' expectations for finishing processes to be carried out in a standalone and segregated facility. It is anticipated to enhance the Group's appeal to new potential customers, especially those seeking stringent finishing standards. This strategic enhancement is expected to support the Group's efforts to expand its customer base across domestic and regional markets, including the growing machinery and equipment manufacturing industry as well as semiconductor manufacturing machinery and medical devices industries.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances and premised on the above, the Board (save for Ban Kim Wah and Wong Chun Wei) believes that the Proposed Acquisition represents a strategic decision which will potentially contribute positively to the Group's future earnings and create long-term value for the Group.
4. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW, OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS
4.1 Overview and outlook of the Malaysian economy
The Malaysian economy grew by 5.2% (2024: 5.1%) in 2025, supported by resilient domestic demand that helped cushion the effects of a highly challenging global environment. Household spending remained firm, supported by positive labour market conditions and more targeted policy measures. Investment activity increased solidly, driven by continued progress in multi-year projects and strong investment approvals, particularly in high-technology services and advanced manufacturing.
The external sector demonstrated resilience despite shifting global trade dynamics and significant uncertainties. The current account of the balance of payments registered a higher surplus of RM31.8 billion, or 1.6% of gross domestic product ("GDP") (2024: RM27.7 billion, or 1.4% of GDP). This was contributed by a continued surplus in the goods account and a turnaround in the services account into a surplus. The surplus in the goods account was underpinned by sustained electrical and electronics ("E&E") exports.
The Malaysian economy is projected to grow between 4% to 5% in 2026. Domestic demand is forecast to remain the main driver of growth in 2026 amid steady private sector spending. Household spending will continue to be underpinned by firm labour market conditions and ongoing fiscal support. Investment activity will continue to expand, albeit at a more moderate pace. While intensified competition from China's production surpluses will continue to weigh on non-E&E exports, the E&E sector will benefit from strong semiconductor demand and the ongoing realisation of data centre investments. Tourism activity is also expected to remain steady, aided by promotional efforts in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2026 and visa exemptions for visitors from China and India. Nevertheless, the conflict in the Middle East may weigh down exports and tourism activities.

4.2 Prospects of the fabricated metal products industry in Malaysia
The Group is mainly involved in the fabrication of semifinished metal products and parts for machinery and equipment, mainly security screening equipment, semiconductor manufacturing machinery, CNC machines, and medical diagnostic equipment. In addition, the Group assembles finished products, such as walk-through metal detectors.
The prospects of the fabricated metal products industry are dependent on industry consideration factors that include the following:
(i) In 2025, the GDP of the fabricated metal products industry grew by 4.7% to RM21.6 billion, while sales value from the machining, treatment, and coating of metals grew by 19.2% to RM7.3 billion. In the first quarter of 2026, the GDP of the fabricated metal products industry expanded by 5.8%, while the sales value from the machining, treatment and coating of metals increased by 13.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2025. These industry sectors are large, and their continued growth will create opportunities for operators;
(ii) Fabricated metal products depend on the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry for the demand for parts such as metal enclosures, frames, and brackets. In 2025, the GDP of the machinery and equipment industry, the sales value of domestically manufactured machinery and equipment (including parts and components), and the export value of machinery, equipment, and parts grew by 6.9%, 8.5%, and 17.8%, respectively. In the first quarter of 2026, the GDP of the machinery and equipment industry, the sales value of domestically manufactured machinery and equipment (including parts and components), and the export value of machinery, equipment, and parts grew by 2.7%, 4.1% and 24.5%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2025. Growth in these sectors will help sustain the industry and provide growth opportunities for operators within the fabricated metal products industry;
(iii) The demand for the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry is closely related to its user industries, which cover a wide range of applications across several industries, including security equipment, E&E products, CNC machines, and the medical devices industry. The wide applications of fabricated metal products will provide a platform for growth for operators within the industry;
(iv) Machinery and equipment involved in the security industry include, among others, security scanning equipment and walk-through metal detectors. Such equipment is often deployed in border crossings, large crowd events, as well as embassies and some government buildings. As a result, the demand for security equipment will increase, arising from the expected increase in cross-border traffic in both goods and people, as well as the organisation of more large crowd events;
(v) The large export values of the semiconductor manufacturing machinery and medical devices industries, which amounted to RM26.7 billion and RM24.4 billion, respectively, in 2025, as well as relatively high growth reflected in their 2021 to 2025 compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) of 32.2% and 14.4%, respectively, would provide growth opportunities for fabricators of metal products that serve these industries, including the Group. In the first quarter of 2026, the export value of semiconductor manufacturing machinery increased by 32.5%, while the export value of medical devices declined by 18.1%, compared to the first quarter of 2025;
(vi) Demand for the machinery and equipment industry is also heavily influenced by the development of the economy and the manufacturing sector, which are progressively replacing human labour with machines and equipment. Malaysia's real GDP grew by 5.2% in 2025 and 5.4% in the first quarter of 2026, and is forecast to expand by 4.0% to 5.0% in 2026. Meanwhile, the real GDP of the manufacturing sector grew by 4.5% in 2025 and 5.9% in the first quarter of 2026, and is forecast to grow by 4.3% in 2026 (Source: Bank Negara Malaysia); and
(vii) Under the Budget 2026, the Government Guarantee Scheme through Syarikat Jaminan Pembiayaan Perniagaan Berhad will continue to assist small- and medium-scale enterprises ("SME") in high technology and other key sectors with available financing guarantees of up to RM30.0 billion. In addition, SME financing support will remain available under the Bank Negara Malaysia SME Fund, with up to RM3.0 billion available for high-impact activities such as digitalisation and automation (Source: Ministry of Finance). These funds should encourage SME to adopt digital technologies and automation, which typically requires investment in machinery and equipment. Operators in Malaysia's fabricated metal products industry are positioned to benefit from investment in machinery and equipment, particularly in the manufacturing sector.

4.3 Prospects of the Subject Properties and Proposed Acquisition
As disclosed in Section 3, Part A of this Circular, the Subject Properties are strategically located at approximately 0.5 km from Lot 815. Their proximity provides the Group with a practical option to establish a dedicated finishing plant for products fabricated at Lot 815.
The Board (save for Ban Kim Wah and Wong Chun Wei) is of the view that the Subject Properties will enable the Group to improve overall production capacity, enhance operational efficiency, while meeting customers' expectations through the separation of finishing lines from fabrication operations. In addition, the establishment of a standalone finishing facility is anticipated to enhance the Group's appeal to new potential customers, especially those seeking stringent finishing standards. This strategic enhancement is expected to support the Group's efforts to expand its customer base across domestic and regional markets, including the growing machinery and equipment manufacturing industry as well as semiconductor manufacturing machinery and medical devices industries.
In addition, given the positive outlook of the Malaysian economy and fabricated metal products industry in Malaysia as set out in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, Part A of this Circular respectively, the Group intends to enhance its production capacity to capitalise on such prospects. The Subject Properties present a suitable option for freeing up space at Lot 815 by housing the finishing lines separately, which will in turn allow for the expansion of fabrication operations to support future growth.
The construction of the Galaxy Industrial Park and the Subject Properties has commenced in the first quarter of 2026 and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2029. The setup of the Subject Properties, including renovations and the purchase of new machineries (such as surface coating facilities, inspection equipment, crane and compressor), is expected to be completed with operations commencing in the third quarter of 2029. Purely for illustration purposes, the estimated costs to be incurred for the renovations and the purchase of machineries are approximately RM1.30 million and RM12.39 million, respectively, which are expected to be incurred in the second quarter of 2029. The Company intends to fund the costs of renovations and the purchase of machineries via a combination of internally-generated funds and bank borrowings. The aforementioned estimated costs are based on the quotations currently obtained from the suppliers and may vary depending on changes in market prices at the time the renovations and/or the purchase of machineries are undertaken.
After taking into consideration the above and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Board (save for Ban Kim Wah and Wong Chun Wei) is of the opinion that the Proposed Acquisition is expected to contribute positively to the Group's financial performance.

-THE REST OF THIS PAGE HAS BEEN INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK-
- RISK FACTORS
The risk factors (which may not be exhaustive) pertaining to the Proposed Acquisition include but are not limited to the following:
(i) Non-completion of the SPA
The completion of the Proposed Acquisition is conditional upon the fulfilment of the conditions precedent as set out in Appendix I of this Circular. If any of the conditions precedent is not fulfilled or obtained, the Proposed Acquisition may be delayed or terminated, thus resulting in non-materialisation of the potential benefits expected to arise from the Proposed Acquisition. The Board (save for Ban Kim Wah and Wong Chun Wei) seeks to limit such a risk by taking all reasonable steps towards the fulfilment of the conditions precedent so as to enable the completion of the Proposed Acquisition.
(ii) Non-completion or delay in the development of the Subject Properties
The Subject Properties may not be completed or the vacant possession of the Subject Properties may not be handed over on time as completion of a development project is subject to various factors, such as the contractors facing difficulties in completing their works according to schedule and shortfall of labour and/ or building materials and utilities supplies.
However, the risk of delay in completion or the handing over of vacant possession of the Subject Properties is mitigated given that the terms of the SPAs provide for certain safeguard measures to the Purchaser, whereby the Vendor shall pay to the Purchaser agreed damages calculated from day to day at the rate of 10% per annum on the Purchase Consideration for such number of days of delay in the delivery of vacant possession of the Subject Properties to the Purchaser.
(iii) Investment risk
The Proposed Acquisition is expected to contribute positively to the future performance of the Group in the medium to long term. However, there is no assurance that the anticipated benefits arising from the Proposed Acquisition as disclosed in Section 3, Part A of this Circular will be realised after the completion of the Proposed Acquisition and in the future or that the Group will be able to generate sufficient revenue or profits to offset the associated costs incurred pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition.
The Board (save for Ban Kim Wah and Wong Chun Wei) has exercised due care in considering the potential risks and benefits associated with the Proposed Acquisition, and believes that the Proposed Acquisition will be beneficial to the Group after taking into consideration, among others, the prospects of the Malaysian economy, fabricated metal products industry in Malaysia as well as Subject Properties and Proposed Acquisition as set out in Sections 4.1 to 4.3, Part A of this Circular.
(iv) Compulsory acquisition risk
Pursuant to the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act 1960, the Government of Malaysia is empowered to acquire any land in Malaysia which is needed for (a) any public purpose; (b) any purpose which is deemed beneficial to the economic development or any part thereof or to the public generally or any class of the public; and (c) the purpose of mining, residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial or recreational purposes or any combination of such purposes. In such event, the amount of compensation payable will be determined based on the fair market value of the relevant property, in accordance with the valuation principles and procedures prescribed under the Land Acquisition Act 1960 and other relevant laws or regulations.
13
Accordingly, if the Subject Properties are compulsorily acquired by the Government of Malaysia at a time when their market value has declined, the Company may receive lower compensation as compared to the Purchase Consideration. This may result in deterioration of the Company's financial position. Furthermore, such compulsory acquisition may result in disruption to the Group's operations. In the event of any compulsory acquisition, the management of the Group will take appropriate steps to minimise any potential losses, including invoking the relevant provisions of the Land Acquisition Act 1960 in relation to its rights to submit an objection in respect of the compensation, where necessary.
(v) Financing and interest rate risk
The Group has the intention to fund the Purchase Consideration via a combination of internally-generated funds and bank borrowings. Hence, the Group is exposed to interest rate fluctuations, which could potentially increase the borrowings expenses in the event of material adverse fluctuations, in turn negatively impact the Group's future financial performance.
Nevertheless, the Board (save for Ban Kim Wah and Wong Chun Wei) will endeavour to closely monitor the Group's debt portfolio and financial gearing to ensure effective cashflow management and that the Group's financial obligations are well managed from time to time.

INDEPENDENT ADVICE LETTER TO THE NON-INTERESTED SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ALL DEFINITIONS USED IN THIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SHALL HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS THE WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS PROVIDED IN THE “DEFINITIONS” SECTION OF THE CIRCULAR, EXCEPT WHERE THE CONTEXT OTHERWISE REQUIRES OR WHERE OTHERWISE DEFINED IN THIS IAL.
THIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS ONLY THE PERTINENT INFORMATION OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION. NON-INTERESTED SHAREHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ CAREFULLY THE CONTENTS OF THIS IAL IN ITS ENTIRETY FOR FURTHER INFORMATION AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM SCA, BEING THE INDEPENDENT ADVISER IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION. THIS IAL SHOULD ALSO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH PART A OF THE CIRCULAR, INCLUDING THE APPENDICES THEREIN, FOR ANY OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION BEFORE VOTING ON THE RESOLUTION PERTAINING TO THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION AT THE FORTHCOMING EGM OF THE COMPANY.
1. INTRODUCTION
On 18 March 2026, the Board announced that the Company proposes to undertake the Proposed Acquisition.
The Proposed Acquisition is deemed as a related party transaction under Rule 10.08 of the Listing Requirements in view of the interests of the interested parties as set out in Section 9, Part A of the Circular.
In this respect, the Board (save for Ban Kim Wah and Wong Chun Wei) had on 20 January 2026 appointed SCA as the Independent Adviser to advise the non-interested Directors and non-interested shareholders of the Company on the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Proposed Acquisition.
The purpose of this IAL is to provide the non-interested Directors and non-interested shareholders of the Company with an independent evaluation on the fairness and reasonableness of the Proposed Acquisition and whether the Proposed Acquisition is to the detriment of the non-interested shareholders as well as to provide a recommendation thereon on the voting of the resolution pertaining to the Proposed Acquisition to be tabled at the forthcoming EGM.
2. EVALUATION OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION
In arriving at our opinion and recommendation on the Proposed Acquisition, we had taken into consideration the following bases and analysis:
| Consideration factors | Section | Our evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| (a) Rationale for the Proposed Acquisition | 5.1 | The Proposed Acquisition will enable the Group to relocate its finishing processes from Lot 815 to the Subject Properties, thereby optimising space utilisation and freeing up additional space at Lot 815 for fabrication activities, including the installation of additional machinery to enhance production capacity and financial performance. The close proximity between the facilities is expected to improve operational and cost efficiency through reduced transportation costs, shorter lead times and better coordination between different production processes. In addition, the segregation of finishing processes into a dedicated and standalone facility is anticipated to reduce contamination risks, enhance process control and ensure greater consistency and quality of output, enabling the Group to better meet stringent customer requirements and industry standards. Collectively, these benefits are expected to strengthen the Group's competitiveness, support customer acquisition and retention, |
| Consideration factors | Section | Our evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| and facilitate expansion across domestic and regional markets, particularly in industries requiring high precision and strict quality standards. | ||
| (b) Evaluation of the Proposed Acquisition | ||
| (i) Basis and justification of the Purchase Consideration | 5.2.1 | The Purchase Consideration was arrived at on a “willing-buyer willing-seller” basis after taking into consideration the following, amongst others:- |
(i) the aggregate market value of the Subject Properties of RM29.90 million as appraised by the Valuer, vide its Valuation Certificate; and
(ii) the rationale and benefits for the Proposed Acquisition as set out in Section 3, Part A of the Circular
We concurred with the Valuer that the Comparison Approach is the most appropriate valuation method in arriving at the market values of the Subject Properties considering that there are ample transactions of properties that are similar to the Subject Properties, which solidify the price trend. Whereas the Cost Approach is not adopted as the Subject Properties are physically not yet constructed, rendering construction costs uncertain and the final completed form not readily ascertainable. Hence, the Cost Approach is only adopted as a check by the Valuer.
The Purchase Consideration represents a discount of approximately RM0.32 million or 1.08% to the aggregate market value of the Subject Properties ascribed by the Valuer.
After considering the above, the opinion of the Board and the rationale of the Proposed Acquisition, we are of the opinion that the Purchase Consideration is fair, reasonable and not detrimental to the non-interested shareholders. |
| (ii) Salient terms of the SPAs | 5.3 | We are of the view that the salient terms of the SPAs are fair and reasonable and not detrimental to the non-interested shareholders of the Company. |
| (c) Industry overview and prospects | 5.4 | We note that the Malaysia metal fabrication market was valued at USD8.65 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD13.72 billion by 2031, growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 6.7%. The growth is driven by rapid industrialization, rising demand for prefabricated structures, and increasing investments in smart factories and automation. Demand from sectors such as energy, oil & gas, consumer goods, and shipbuilding is also contributing to the strong market outlook.
The Proposed Acquisition is expected to enhance the Group’s overall production capacity and operational efficiency through the segregation of finishing processes from semi-finished products. This separation is anticipated to improve workflow efficiency and enable better control over production processes, thereby supporting the Group’s ability to meet customers’ quality and delivery expectations. |
| Consideration factors | Section | Our evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| Notwithstanding the above, the Subject Properties are situated within Galaxy Industrial Park, a proposed industrial development located along Jalan Selatan 10, 81300 Skudai, Johor. The development is strategically positioned adjacent to established mixed-use developments, including Taman Impian Emas, thereby offering potential synergies between industrial activities and surrounding residential and commercial components. |
The Subject Properties benefit from good accessibility, being well-connected via major arterial routes such as Jalan Skudai, the Eastern Dispersal Link and the North-South Expressway, providing convenient connectivity to Johor Bahru city centre, key industrial areas, and other parts of Johor as well as the broader national highway network. |
| (d) Risk factors relating to the Proposed Acquisition | 5.5 | The non-interested shareholders should also take note of the additional risk factors in relation to the Proposed Acquisition:-
(i) Delay in construction of the Subject Properties; and
(ii) Geopolitical risk.
We also wish to highlight that despite efforts and measures taken by the Company to mitigate the risks associated with the Proposed Acquisition, no assurance can be given that one or a combination of risk factors as stated above and in Section 5, Part A of the Circular will not occur and give rise to material and adverse impact on the business and operations of the Company, its financial performance, financial position or prospects thereon. |
| (e) Financial effects of the Proposed Acquisition | 5.6 | The financial effects of the Proposed Acquisition are as follows:
(i) The Proposed Acquisition will not have any effect on the issued share capital of the Company and substantial shareholders’ shareholdings in the Company as the Proposed Acquisition does not involve any issuance of new shares in the Company.
(ii) The Proposed Acquisition will not have any significant impact to the Company’s NA per share. However, the Proposed Acquisition will increase the Company’s total borrowings assuming that 70% of the Purchase Consideration will be funded via bank borrowings. As a resultant, the gearing will increase from nil times to 0.10 times.
(iii) The Proposed Acquisition is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings and EPS of the Company once the Subject Properties are in full operation notwithstanding the annual depreciation, interest expenses as well as maintenance and management fees arise from the Proposed Acquisition. |
| Consideration factors | Section | Our evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| The financial effects of the Proposed Acquisition are not detrimental to the interest of the non-interested shareholders of the Company. |
3. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Premised on our overall assessment of the Proposed Acquisition, we are of the opinion that the Proposed Acquisition is fair and reasonable and is not detrimental to the interests of the non-interested shareholders of the Company.
Accordingly, we recommend that the non-interested shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution pertaining to the Proposed Acquisition to be tabled at the forthcoming EGM of the Company.
We have not taken into consideration any specific investment objective, risk profiles, financial and tax situation and particular needs of any individual non-interested shareholders. We recommend that any non-interested shareholders who require advice in relation to the Proposed Acquisition in the context of their individual investment objectives, risk profiles, financial and tax situation and particular needs, consult their respective stockbrokers, bank managers, accountants, solicitors or other professional advisers.
NON-INTERESTED SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE ADVISED TO READ BOTH THIS IAL AND PART A OF THE CIRCULAR TOGETHER WITH THE ACCOMPANYING APPENDICES AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RECOMMENDATION CONTAINED HEREIN BEFORE VOTING ON THE RESOLUTION PERTAINING TO THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION TO BE TABLED AT THE FORTHCOMING EGM OF THE COMPANY.

Premised on the foregoing, SCA is capable and competent in carrying out its role and responsibilities as the Independent Adviser to advise the non-interested Directors and non-interested shareholders in relation to the Proposed Acquisition.
5. EVALUATION OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION
In evaluating the Proposed Acquisition, we have considered the following:
(i) Rationale for the Proposed Acquisition;
(ii) Evaluation of the Proposed Acquisition:
(a) Basis and justification of the Purchase Consideration; and
(b) Salient terms of the SPAs;
(iii) Industry overview and prospects of the Group and the Subject Properties;
(iv) Risk factors relating to the Proposed Acquisition; and
(v) Financial effects of the Proposed Acquisition.
5.1 Rationale for the Proposed Acquisition
The rationale and justification of the Proposed Acquisition are as set out in Section 3, Part A of the Circular.
We note that the Group plans to establish the finishing processes for products fabricated at Lot 815 at a separate facility to free up additional space at Lot 815 for fabrication activities, increase production capacity, and improve financial performance.
The close proximity between Lot 815 and the Subject Properties provides several economic and operational benefits to the Group. By locating both facilities near each other, transportation costs and logistical lead time associated with transferring materials and semi-finished products can be optimised. This arrangement also facilitates smoother coordination between different production processes, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and improving overall workflow. In addition, the shorter distance may allow for quicker turnaround in the movement of goods and minimise the risk of damage during transportation. The Proposed Acquisition will increase the Group's production capacity with additional space made available at Lot 815, arising from the relocation of the finishing line to the Subject Properties, which enables the Group to install additional production machinery. Collectively, these advantages support more efficient utilisation of resources and improve overall financial performance of the Group.
In addition, the segregation of the finishing processes into a dedicated and standalone facility is expected to significantly reduce potential contamination risks, improve process control and ensure a higher degree of consistency and quality in the finishing output. This approach aligns with increasingly stringent and rigid customer requirements and industry standards, particularly for applications that demand high precision, cleanliness and surface integrity. By isolating such processes, the Group is better positioned to comply with relevant quality assurance frameworks, while also enhancing overall operational efficiency through improved workflow management and reduced cross-process interference.
This enhancement is anticipated to strengthen the Group's value proposition and competitiveness, thereby improving its ability to attract and secure new customers, especially those with more demanding finishing specifications. It is also expected to deepen engagement with existing customers by offering higher value-added capabilities. Collectively, these improvements will support the Group's ongoing efforts to broaden its customer base across both domestic and regional markets, including within the machinery and equipment manufacturing, semiconductor manufacturing machinery and medical devices industries, where precision, reliability and adherence to stringent quality standards are critical.
28
Strategic Capital
Premised on the above, we are of the opinion that the rationale for the Proposed Acquisition is reasonable. Nevertheless, the non-interested shareholders of the Company should note that the potential benefits arising from the Proposed Acquisition are subject to certain risk factors as disclosed in Section 5, Part A of the Circular as well as Section 5.5 of this IAL.
5.2 Evaluation of the Proposed Acquisition
5.2.1 Basis and Justification of the Purchase Consideration
The basis and justification of arriving at the Purchase Consideration is set out in Section 2.2, Part A of the Circular.
The Purchase Consideration was arrived at on a “willing-buyer willing-seller” basis after taking into consideration the following, amongst others:-
(i) the aggregate market value of the Subject Properties of RM29.90 million as appraised by the Valuer, vide its Valuation Certificate; and
(ii) the rationale and benefits for the Proposed Acquisition as set out in Section 3, Part A of the Circular.
We note that the Valuation Report was prepared in accordance with the Asset Valuation Guidelines issued by the Securities Commission Malaysia and the Malaysian Valuation Standards issued by the Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers, Malaysia. We have reviewed the qualifications of the Valuer, scope of engagement, methodologies and assumptions adopted as well as the resultant valuations.
We have made all reasonable enquiries and conducted our own reviews, where possible, with regard to the Valuation Report provided to us, and are satisfied that the methodology and assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the Valuer in arriving at their valuations.
The brief description of the market value of the Subject Properties as extracted from the Valuation Report are tabulated below:
| Type of property/ property address | Two (2) assumed completed one and half storey semi-detached factories identified as Plot A1 and Plot A2, forming part of the master freehold land held under title no. GRN 99403 Lot 813, within Mukim of Tebrau, District of Johor Bahru, Johor. |
|---|---|
| Valuation methodology | Comparison Approach - RM29,900,000 |
| Cost Approach - RM29,900,000 | |
| Valuation date | 11 March 2026 |
The Valuer has adopted the Comparison Approach whereby comparison is made of the properties under valuation with sales of other similar properties. Where dissimilarities exist, adjustments are made. The Comparison Approach was adopted as the primary method as there are ample transactions to support the market values. Further, there is lack of rental evidence which is publicly available and which can be relied upon. Hence, the Valuer did not adopt the Income Approach by way of Investment Method. The Valuer has also adopted the Cost Approach to cross check against the value derived using the Comparison Approach. Cost Approach is defined as the aggregate amount of the value of the land component and the gross replacement cost of the buildings and other site improvements, allowing for depreciation. The value of the land component is arrived by the Comparison Approach whereby comparison is made of the property under valuation with sales of other similar properties. Where dissimilarities exist, adjustments are made.
S
Strategic Capital
For building component, the replacement cost was arrived at by referencing to construction costs as per the Building Cost Information Services Malaysia ("BCISM") Costbook 2025 and by adding in site improvement cost which reflects the costs for site preparation, earthworks and external infrastructure development.
The non-interested shareholders are advised to read our commentaries below and refer to the Valuation Certificate enclosed in Appendix II of the Circular.
Comparison approach
The following sales evidence of industrial premises of similar nature within the neighbourhood were used by the Valuer to arrive at the market value:-
| Description | Subject Properties | Comparable 1 | Comparable 2 | Comparable 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Proposed two (2) units of one and a half storey semi-detached factories | A one and a half storey detached factory | Two (2) units of one and a half storey detached factories | A one and a half storey detached factory |
| Identification/location | Galaxy Industrial Park, Jalan Selatan 10, 81300 Skudai, Johor | No 10, Jalan SME 1, Indahpura Industrial Park, Kulai | Nos 8 & 10, Jalan Laman Setia 7/4, Setia Business Park, Gelang Patah | No 28, Jalan Mega 1, Taman Perindustrian Nusa Cemerlang, Iskandar Puteri |
| Tenure | Interest in perpetuity | Interest in perpetuity | Interest in perpetuity | Interest in perpetuity |

Where dissimilarities exist between the comparable properties and the Subject Properties in terms of location, property type, building condition, size and gated and guarded features, appropriate adjustments have been made. The basis of the adjustments for circumstances to derive the adjusted value from the analysis of the comparable asset is as follows:
| Adjustment | Comparable 1 | Comparable 2 | Comparable 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% |
| Property type | -5.00% | -5.00% | -5.00% |
| Building condition | 10.00% | 10.00% | 10.00% |
| Size | -15.00% | 10.00% | 0.00% |
| Gated and guarded | 0.00% | -5.00% | 0.00% |
| Net adjustment | -5.00% | 15.00% | 10.00% |
Based on the above, the three (3) transactions revealed that land prices within the surrounding neighbourhood were hovering between RM484.06 psf to RM607.90 psf. Adjustments were made to reflect the differences between the Subject Properties and the comparables to arrive at the final adjusted price of RM580.00 psf to RM590.00 psf.
The Valuer has placed greater reliance on Comparables 2 and 3 as they have most similar characteristics with the Subject Properties as the land area and gross floor area are almost similar to the Subject Properties.
As a result, the final value of RM590.00 psf was adopted. Hence, the market value of the Subject Properties derived from the Comparison Approach was RM29.90 million. The Purchase Consideration represents a discount of approximately RM0.32 million or 1.08% to the aggregate market value of the Subject Properties ascribed by the Valuer. Hence, we are of the view that the Purchase Consideration is fair.
Cost Approach
The table below contains the Valuer's analysis of the comparable evidence to arrive at the value of the land component:-
| Description | Comparable 1 | Comparable 2 | Comparable 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | A parcel of industrial land | A parcel of industrial land | A parcel of industrial land |
| Location | Lot 72529, Jalan Penaga 10, Taman Perindustrian Kota Puteri, Masai | PTD 171926, Jalan Kencana Emas 2, Kawasan Perindustrian Tebrau III, Johor Bahru | PTD 182004, Jalan Mega 1/9, Taman Perindustrian Nusa Cemerlang, Iskandar Puteri |

| Land area | 0.411 acre (17,890 sq. ft.) | 0.972 acre (42,343 sq. ft.) | 2.553 (111,213 sq. ft.) |
| Consideration | RM2,850,000 | RM7,410,037 | RM18,350,099 |
| Date of transaction | 25 March 2025 | 8 November 2024 | 15 November 2023 |
| Vendor | Khaw Zhan Wei and Sam Tek Yang | Sparkling Distinction Sdn Bhd | Panoramic Industrial Development Sdn Bhd |
| Purchaser | QL Lian Hoe Sdn Bhd | Homiest Living Sdn Bhd | Basis Bay Sdn Bhd |
| Analysed value | RM159.31 psf | RM175.00 psf | RM165.00 psf |

The basis of the adjustments for circumstances to derive the adjusted value from the analysis of the comparable asset is as follows:
| Adjustment | Comparable 1 | Comparable 2 | Comparable 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | 20.00% | -10.00% | 5.00% |
| Size | -15.00% | 0.00% | 20.00% |
| Tenure | 0.00% | 10.00% | 0.00% |
| Net adjustment | 5.00% | 0.00% | 25.00% |
Based on the above, the three (3) transactions revealed that land prices within the surrounding neighbourhood were hovering between RM159.31 psf to RM175.00 psf. Adjustments were made to reflect the differences between the Subject Properties and the comparables to arrive at the final adjusted price of RM175.00 psf to RM225.00 psf.
The Valuer has placed greater reliance on Comparable 2 as it is located nearest to the Subject Properties.
As a result, the final value of RM190.00 psf was adopted for Subject Property 1 and RM210.00 psf (upward adjustment of 10% due to size) was adopted for Subject Property 2. Hence, the market value of the land of the Subject Property 1 and Subject Property 2 derived from the Comparison Approach were approximately RM10.56 million and RM7.14 million respectively.
Building
In determining the value of the buildings, current estimates on construction costs to construct similar buildings are adopted. The breakdown of construction costs is shown below for easy reference:
| Construction costing range | ||
|---|---|---|
| Minimum (RM psf) | Maximum (RM psf) | |
| Warehouses | 181.16 | 253.63 |
(Source: BCISM Costbook 2025)
The Valuer has adopted the replacement cost ranging from approximately RM180.00 psf to approximately RM250.00 psf for the factory as per the BCISM Costbook 2025. The site improvement cost reflects the costs for site preparation, earthworks and external infrastructure development. Based on the Valuer's checks with quantity surveyor and contractors, the site improvement cost of RM25.00 psf adopted is in line with the market.
Premised on the above, the total market value of the Subject Property 1 and Subject Property 2 are RM17.90 million and RM12.00 million respectively.
We concurred with the Valuer that the Comparison Approach is the most appropriate valuation method in arriving at the market values of the Subject Properties considering that there are ample transactions of properties that are similar to the Subject Properties, which solidify the price trend. Whereas the Cost Approach is not adopted as the Subject Properties are physically not yet constructed, rendering construction costs uncertain and the final completed form not readily ascertainable. Hence, the Cost Approach is only adopted as a check by the Valuer.
After considering the above, the opinion of the Board and the rationale of the Proposed Acquisition, we are of the opinion that the Purchase Consideration is fair, reasonable and not detrimental to the non-interested shareholders.
Strategic Capital
Notwithstanding the above, non-interested shareholders should note that the market price of the Subject Properties may be affected by various factors, including but not limited to, liquidity risk (i.e. the process of selling and buying land can be time consuming). The Valuer's valuations do not account for the effort, time, marketability, buyer demand, uncertainty relating to a land acquisition and potential transaction costs that would be required to acquire the assets and realise the intrinsic value of the Subject Properties.
5.3 Salient terms of the SPAs
The salient terms of the SPAs are as disclosed in Appendix I of the Circular. Non-interested shareholders of the Company are advised to read Appendix I of the Circular in the entirety.

5.4 Industry overview and prospects
We take note of the industry overview and prospects as disclosed in Section 4, Part A of the Circular.
Overview and prospects of the Malaysian Economy
Malaysia’s economy grew by 5.2% in 2025 on account of strong domestic demand and favourable export exceeding the forecast range of 4.0% to 4.8%. Malaysian economy also advanced by 6.3% in the fourth quarter of 2025 (“4Q2025”), driven mainly by domestic demand. The strong investment growth was underpinned by stronger machinery and equipment spending, particularly for data centres, and on-going implementation of multi-year projects by both the private sector and public sector.
Further, Malaysia economy is expected to grow between 4% and 4.5% in 2026, supported by strong domestic demand, a healthy job market and government reforms.
While global trade tensions and United States of America (“US”) tariffs may impact exports, especially in the electrical and electronics (“E&E”) sector, the domestic economy remains resilient. Key policies and events like Visit Malaysia 2026 and the 2025 ASEAN chairmanship are also expected to boost growth.
Nonetheless, the full impact of US tariffs could be felt in 2026, especially if semiconductor tariff exemptions are removed. However, proactive measures, including new industrial strategies and market diversification, will help soften the blow and maintain Malaysia’s competitiveness.
(Source: Bank Negara Malaysia’s (“BNM”)’s Annual Report 2025, Economic and Monetary Review 2025 and Financial Stability Review for Second Half 2025 released on 31 March 2026 and Ministry of Finance’s (MOF) Economic Outlook 2026 report)
Key developments in the Malaysian economy as extracted from quarterly bulletin for the first quarter of 2026 (“1Q2026”) published by Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”) are as follows:
17
Strategic Capital
(i) The Malaysia economy expanded by 5.4% in the 1Q2026, driven by domestic demand. The factors supporting the growth in the 1Q2026 includes:
a. Sustained household spending;
b. Steady investment activities; and
c. Continued export growth (supported by Electrical & Electronic, travel and Information Communication and Technology).
(ii) Investment growth was underpinned by continued implementation of multi-year projects by both the private and public sectors, a high realisation rate of approved investments, and the ongoing rollout of national master plans. Meanwhile, gross import growth moderated amid slower growth in capital, intermediate and consumer goods imports.
(iii) Headline inflation increased to 1.6% (4Q 2025: 1.3%) while core inflation moderated to 2.1% (4Q 2025: 2.3%). The higher headline inflation reflected some initial cost pass-through of higher global cost pressures, partly due to the conflict in the Middle East. Electricity charges and fuel prices, mainly RON97 and diesel, increased during the quarter, which led to slower declines in electricity and fuel inflation. These increases were partly offset by lower core inflation, mainly reflecting softer inflation in food away from home and rental inflation. Inflation pervasiveness, measured by the share of Consumer Price Index items registering monthly price increases, continued to decline to 38.3% in 1Q 2026 (4Q 2025: 39.6%), trending well below the historical first-quarter average of 52.2%.
(iv) In the first quarter of 2026, the ringgit strengthened against currencies of Malaysia's major trading partners, as reflected in the 1.4% nominal effective exchange rate appreciation. Looking ahead, while external factors will continue to drive exchange rate movements, Malaysia's firm economic prospects and sustained reform momentum are expected to provide enduring support to the ringgit.
(v) Headline inflation is projected to average 1.5%-2.5% in 2026. Following the Middle East conflict, inflation is expected to edge higher due to elevated global energy and other key commodity prices, broadly in line with expectations. In the absence of excessive demand pressures, existing policy measures, including targeted fuel subsidies and other mitigation measures, are expected to help limit near-term spillovers to broader inflation. However, the extent and pace of pass-through to domestic prices from the ongoing conflict will also depend on firms' pricing behaviour and demand conditions.

Overview and outlook of the fabricated metal products industry in Malaysia
The metal fabrication market in Malaysia is experiencing steady growth, supported by increasing demand from key sectors such as construction, automotive, aerospace and heavy equipment. Technological advancements, including computer numerical control (CNC) machining, robotics and additive manufacturing, are enhancing fabrication processes and improving operational efficiency.
In addition, Government investments in infrastructure, renewable energy and defence continue to serve as key drivers of industry expansion. Market dynamics are further shaped by the growing demand for customised fabrication services, the need for lightweight yet durable materials, and the broader adoption of Industry 4.0 practices.
Notwithstanding these positive developments, the industry faces challenges such as fluctuations in raw material prices, shortages of skilled labour and high capital expenditure requirements. These challenges are being addressed through the adoption of digital solutions and targeted workforce training programmes. Small and medium-sized fabricators are also increasingly collaborating with original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") and engineering, procurement and construction contractors to participate in larger-scale industrial projects.
Strategic Capital
At the same time, sustainability considerations are encouraging the adoption of environmentally friendly fabrication methods and the increased use of recyclable metals.
The Malaysia metal fabrication market was valued at USD8.65 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD13.72 billion by 2031, growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 6.7%. The growth is driven by rapid industrialization, rising demand for prefabricated structures, and increasing investments in smart factories and automation. Demand from sectors such as energy, oil & gas, consumer goods, and shipbuilding is also contributing to the strong market outlook.
Over the next decade, the Malaysia metal fabrication market is expected to witness accelerated transformation through smart manufacturing practices. Use of real-time data, robotic welding, cloud-based design, and predictive maintenance will enhance operational efficiency. Fabricators will increasingly cater to modular construction, electric vehicle components, renewable energy structures, and urban infrastructure. Environmental compliance, lean production, and digital supply chains will redefine competitive positioning in the industry.
(Source: https://mobilityforesights.com/product/malaysia-metal-fabrication-market)
The fabricated metal products industry is a vital contributor to both manufacturing and services sectors in Malaysia, particularly through its engineering supporting sub-sector, which supports the growth of machinery and equipment and other manufacturing industries. Renowned globally for their exceptional manufacturing standards, Malaysian fabricated metal industry players offer high-quality products and services that are competitively priced and timely delivered worldwide.
With over 1,000 players, including integrated solution providers, Malaysia's fabricated metal industry can fulfil the diverse needs of high-tech industries by supplying low-volume, high-mix products, parts, and modules. Many companies have evolved into comprehensive 'one-stop centres', offering end-to-end services from product conception to serial production, covering procurement, logistics, testing, and certification. These firms have invested in facility upgrades and advanced technologies to meet OEMs' demanding requirements for precision engineering services and components.
The industry's future direction involves further strengthening services, enhancing capabilities, and ensuring production quality to provide comprehensive solutions. Investors should recognise the industry's efforts to obtain international certifications for supplying parts and components to sectors like oil and gas, aerospace, medical, and solar/photovoltaic. As the industry progresses, prospective investors can expect expanding opportunities aligned with the sector's growth trajectory and increasing global demands.

Prospects of the Subject Properties and the Proposed Acquisition
The Proposed Acquisition is expected to enhance the Group's overall production capacity and operational efficiency through the segregation of finishing processes from semi-finished products. This separation is anticipated to improve workflow efficiency and enable better control over production processes, thereby supporting the Group's ability to meet customers' quality and delivery expectations.
In addition, the establishment of a dedicated finishing facility is expected to strengthen the Group's positioning in attracting new customers, particularly those with more stringent finishing requirements. This strategic initiative is anticipated to support the Group's efforts to broaden its customer base across both domestic and regional markets, including within the machinery and equipment manufacturing, semiconductor manufacturing machinery and medical devices industries.

Notwithstanding the above, the development of the Subject Properties is strategically positioned adjacent to established mixed-use developments, including Taman Impian Emas, thereby offering potential synergies between industrial activities and surrounding residential and commercial components. The Subject Properties benefit from good accessibility, being well-connected via major arterial routes such as Jalan Skudai, the Eastern Dispersal Link and the North-South Expressway, providing convenient connectivity to Johor Bahru city centre, key industrial areas, and other parts of Johor as well as the broader national highway network.
The surrounding area comprises a mix of residential, commercial and industrial developments within the Skudai-Senai growth corridor, supported by established amenities and ongoing infrastructure enhancements. The area is also expected to benefit from the proposed JS-SEZ, which is anticipated to further enhance economic activity and cross-border connectivity.
Beyond the data centre segment, ongoing significant industrial land transactions continue to support the expansion of Johor's industrial property market. These large-scale developments are expected to increase the availability of modern, master-planned and well-integrated industrial spaces within the region. Such projects are anticipated to meet the evolving requirements of high-value manufacturing, logistics and technology-related industries, thereby sustaining demand for quality industrial assets.
Collectively, these initiatives are expected to further reinforce Johor's position as a key industrial and logistics hub within the southern corridor of Peninsular Malaysia, supported by improving infrastructure, strategic locational advantages and ongoing economic development initiatives
Premised on the above, we are of the view that the prospects of the Company following the Proposed Acquisition will be favourable and barring unforeseen circumstances, is poised to improve its financial performance in the future.
Nonetheless, we wish to also highlight that the Proposed Acquisition is subject to risks and uncertainties which are not within the Company's control such as change in Government policies, pandemic risk, adverse changes in economic condition and changes in financing conditions. The occurrence of any of such events may materially impact the businesses and may adversely affect the Company's revenue and profitability to be derived from the businesses. There shall also be no guarantee that the anticipated benefits from the Proposed Acquisition as set out Section 3, Part A of the Circular will be realised by the Company in the foreseeable future.
5.5 Risk factors relating to the Proposed Acquisition
We take note and concur with the risk factors as disclosed in Section 5, Part A of the Circular. Overall, we are of the view that the risk factors identified are typical for a property acquisition and generally manageable. Key concerns relate to execution delays, uncertainty in achieving expected returns, potential exposure to interest rate fluctuations, and low-probability external risks such as compulsory acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act 1960. While the Board has demonstrated awareness of these risks and outlined general mitigation measures, the success of the Proposed Acquisition will ultimately depend on effective execution, stable market conditions, and prudent financial management.
Notwithstanding the above, the Company is not expected to be exposed to new business risks as a result of the Proposed Acquisition. Additionally, the non-interested shareholders should also take note of the additional risk factors in relation to the Proposed Acquisition.
Delay in the construction of the Subject Properties
The delay in the construction of the Subject Properties may adversely affect the Company through various financial and operational implications.
42
19
Strategic Capital
The Company may incur additional financing costs, including interest expenses on borrowings, without the corresponding benefit of income generation from the Subject Properties. Furthermore, the delay may disrupt the Company's planned business operations as discussed in Section 5.1 of this IAL, resulting in deferred commencement of operational activities and potential loss of revenue. Although the Company may be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to the terms and conditions stipulated in the SPAs, there is no assurance that such compensation will fully mitigate the financial and operational impact arising from such delay.
Geopolitical Risk
The escalation of geopolitical tensions and military conflict between the United States and Iran may give rise to increased uncertainty and volatility in the global economic and financial environment.
Although the Group does not have direct operations or material assets located in the affected region, the conflict may indirectly affect the Group's business, operations and financial performance. In particular, disruptions to global energy markets and international trade routes, including those associated with the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, may lead to increased volatility in crude oil prices and shipping costs. Any sustained increase in energy prices or disruptions to global supply chains may result in higher operating costs and potential delays in procurement and logistics activities.
In addition, the conflict may contribute to broader macroeconomic uncertainties, including fluctuations in global financial markets, foreign exchange volatility and inflationary pressures, which may adversely affect business sentiment, investment flows and economic conditions in the markets in which the Group operates.
The extent, duration and outcome of the conflict remain uncertain and are beyond the control of the Group. As such, there can be no assurance that the ongoing geopolitical developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We also wish to highlight that despite efforts and measures taken by the Company to mitigate the risks associated with the Proposed Acquisition, no assurance can be given that one or a combination of risk factors as stated above and in Section 5, Part A of the Circular will not occur and give rise to material and adverse impact on the business and operations of the Company, its financial performance, financial position or prospects thereon.
In evaluating the Proposed Acquisition, non-interested shareholders of the Company should carefully consider the said risk factors and their respective mitigating factors before voting on the resolution pertaining to the Proposed Acquisition at the forthcoming EGM of the Company. Non-interested shareholders of the Company should also note that the risk factors mentioned therein are not meant to be exhaustive.
5.6 Financial effects of the Proposed Acquisition
The financial effects of the Proposed Acquisition on the Group as disclosed in Section 6, Part A of the Circular are as follows:
(i) Issued share capital and substantial shareholders' shareholdings
The Proposed Acquisition will not have any effect on the issued share capital of the Company and substantial shareholders' shareholdings in the Company as the Proposed Acquisition does not involve any issuance of new shares in the Company.
44
Strategic Capital
(ii) NA and gearing
For illustration purposes only, the pro forma effects of the Proposed Acquisition on the NA and gearing of the Company's audited statements of financial position as at 31 December 2025 and on the assumption that the Proposed Acquisition had been effected on that date are as follows:-
| Audited as at 31 December 2025 (RM'000) | After the Proposed Acquisition (RM'000) | |
|---|---|---|
| Equity attributable to owners of the Company/ NA | 209,397 | 208,867 [1] |
| NA per share (RM) | 0.18 | 0.18 |
| Borrowings | - | 20,704 [2] |
| Gearing (times) [3] | - | 0.10 |
Notes:-
(1) After deducting estimated expenses of approximately RM0.53 million in relation to the Proposed Acquisition.
(2) After accounting for the proposed drawdown of bank borrowings amounting to RM20.70 million to partly finance the Proposed Acquisition.
(3) Computed based on total borrowings (comprising term loans only) over NA.
We have taken note that the Proposed Acquisition will not have any significant impact to the Company's NA per share. However, the Proposed Acquisition will increase the Company's total borrowings assuming that 70% of the Purchase Consideration will be funded via bank borrowings. As a resultant, the gearing will increase from nil to 0.10 times.
(iii) Earnings and EPS
The Proposed Acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's earnings and EPS for the FYE 2026.
We note that the EPS will decrease slightly after the Proposed Acquisition which is attributable to the annual depreciation charges, interest expenses, maintenance and management fees associated with the Subject Properties, as well as transaction-related expenses arising from the Proposed Acquisition. Nevertheless, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Proposed Acquisition is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings and EPS of the Company once the Subject Properties are in full operation notwithstanding the annual depreciation, interest expenses as well as maintenance and management fees arise from the Proposed Acquisition.
Based on the above, we are of the opinion that the effects of the Proposed Acquisition are fair and reasonable and not to the detriment of the non-interested shareholders of the Company.
6 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
We have assessed and evaluated the Proposed Acquisition and have set out our evaluation in Section 2 through Section 5 of this IAL. We summarised the potential advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Acquisition as follows:
45
22
| Potential Advantages | Potential Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| The acquisition of the Subject Properties is expected to enhance the Group's overall production capacity and operational efficiency through the segregation of finishing processes from semi-finished products. |
This separation is anticipated to improve workflow efficiency and enable better control over production processes, thereby supporting the Group's ability to meet customers' quality and delivery expectations. | The Proposed Acquisition will result in the decrease in the net cash position of the Company as the Company intends to fund 30% of the Purchase Considerations by cash payment via internally-generated funds. The available cash could have been used for further business expansion, merger and acquisition of other companies or to be paid as dividend to the shareholders of the Company. |
| The close proximity between Lot 815 and the Subject Properties is expected to provide operational and cost efficiencies to the Group. The shorter distance reduces transportation costs and lead time for the movement of materials and semi-finished goods, while facilitating better coordination between different production processes. This is anticipated to enhance overall workflow efficiency, optimise resource utilisation and support improved operational performance. | The Proposed Acquisition will increase the Company's total borrowings assuming that 70% of the Purchase Consideration will be funded via bank borrowings. As a resultant, the gearing will increase from nil to 0.10 times. |
We have taken cognisance of the rationale and justification, financial evaluation, effects and risk factors of the Proposed Acquisition. Based on our evaluation and comments on the Proposed Acquisition, we are of the opinion that the Proposed Acquisition is fair and reasonable and is not detrimental to the non-interested shareholders of the Company.
Accordingly, we recommend that the non-interested shareholders vote in favour of the resolution pertaining to the Proposed Acquisition to be tabled at the forthcoming EGM of the Company.
Before arriving at the decision to vote on the resolution pertaining to the Proposed Acquisition, it is pertinent that the non-interested shareholders of the Company consider the issues and implications raised in this IAL as well as other considerations as set out in Part A of the Circular carefully and the Directors' statement and recommendation (save for Ban Kim Wah and Wong Chun Wei) in respect to the Proposed Acquisition as set out in Section 12, Part A of the Circular.

6. Planning Details
The Subject Properties are designated for industrial use.
As per the "Kebenaran Merancang" letter bearing Reference No. MBJB/U/2025/63/STK/KM/65-[65/2025] dated 2 January 2026 issued by Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru, we noted that the Parent Lots 813 and PTD 187636 have been granted Planning Permission with amendments for industrial development.

As per the pre-computation plan provided to us by Wentel Engineering Holdings Berhad prepared by Mesra Ukur Sdn Bhd bearing Plan No. MU/JH/106/2024/PH dated 11 February 2026, we noted the Plot A1 and Plot A2 having the land area as follows:-
| Plot No. | Identification as per pre-computation plan | Land Area | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hectare | Acres | Square Metres | Square Feet | ||
| Plot A1 | Plot 1 | 0.516 | 1.276 | 5,163.273 | 55,577 |

| Total | 0.832 | 2.057 | 8,322.756 | 89,585 |
FOR PURPOSES OF THIS VALUATION, WE WERE SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED BY WENTEL ENGINEERING HOLDINGS BERHAD TO VALUE THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES ON THE BASIS OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES ARE COMPLETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BUILDING PLANS PREPARED BY SFS ARCHITECTS SDN BHD BEARING DRAWING NOS. 01/17 TO 17/17, WITH A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION AND COMPLIANCE ISSUED AND WITH ALL RELEVANT CONTRIBUTIONS, CHARGES AND FEES ARE FULLY PAID IN ACCORDANCE TO THE DRAFT SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN TWIN GALAXY DEVELOPMENT SDN BHD AND WENTEL ENGINEERING SDN BHD.
7. Basis of Valuation
The basis of valuation adopted is the Market Value which is defined as "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 and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion".
No allowances are made in the valuation for any expense of realisation or for taxation which might arise in the event of a disposal, deemed or otherwise. We have considered the property as if free and clear of all charges, lien and all other encumbrances which may be secured thereon. We have also assumed the property is free of all statutory notices and outgoings.

8. Valuation Methodology
In arriving at our opinion of the Market Values, we have used the Comparison Approach and Cost Approach.
i) Comparison Approach
We have used Comparison Approach whereby comparison is made of the properties under valuation with sales of other similar properties. Where dissimilarities exist, adjustments are made. We have adopted the Comparison Approach as the most appropriate approach as there are ample transactions to support the Market Values. Further, there is lack of rental evidence which is publicly available and which can be relied upon. As such, we did not adopt the Income Approach by way of Investment Method.
We have adopted the following sale comparables (as obtained from Jabatan Penilaian Dan Perkhidmatan Harta ("JPPH")) to arrive at the values of the Subject Properties:-
| Description | Sale Comparable 1 | Sale Comparable 2 | Sale Comparable 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | A one and a half storey detached factory | Two (2) units of one and a half storey detached factories | A one and a half storey detached factory |
| Identification/ Location | No. 10, Jalan SME 1, Indahpura Industrial Park, Kulai | Nos. 8 & 10, Jalan Laman Setia 7/4, Setia Business Park, Gelang Patah | No. 28, Jalan Mega 1, Taman Perindustrian Nusa Cemerlang, Iskandar Puteri |
| Tenure | Interest in perpetuity | Interest in perpetuity | Interest in perpetuity |
| Category of Land Use | Perindustrian | Perindustrian | Perindustrian |
| Planning Details | Zoned for industrial use | Zoned for industrial use | Zoned for industrial use |
| Land Area | 18,116 square feet | 87,102 square feet | 48,448 square feet |
| Gross Floor Area | 9,870 square feet | 59,056 square feet | 26,856 square feet |
| Consideration | RM6,000,000.00 | RM28,750,000.00 | RM13,000,000.00 |
| Date of Transaction | 17 October 2025 | 25 June 2025 | 15 July 2024 |
| Vendor | Platinum Management Sdn. Bhd. | Huuve Sdn. Bhd. | Yong Wen Holdings Sdn. Bhd. |
| Purchaser | Tai Tee Engineering Sdn. Bhd. | JT Automation Technology (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. | Tong Garden Food (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. |
| Analysed Price | RM607.90 per square foot | RM486.83 per square foot | RM484.06 per square foot |
| Adjustment | Time factor, location, property type, building condition, size and gated and guarded | ||
| Adjusted Value | RM580.00 psf | RM590.00 psf | RM590.00 psf |
| We have relied on the Sale Comparable 2 and Sale Comparable 3 as they have most similar characteristic as the land area and gross floor area are almost similar to the Subject Properties. There is a lack of sales comparables which have almost similar land areas and gross floor areas of the Subject Properties in the immediate vicinity of the Subject Properties. | |||
| The Market Values of the Subject Properties as per Comparison Approach are as follows: | |||
| Lot No. | Market Values | ||
| Plot A1 | RM17,900,000.00 | ||
| Plot A2 | RM12,000,000.00 |

ii) Cost Approach
This approach is defined as the aggregate amount of the value of the land component and the gross replacement cost of the buildings and other site improvements, allowing for depreciation. The land component is arrived by the Comparison Approach whereby comparison is made of the property under valuation with sales of other similar properties. Where dissimilarities exist, adjustments are made.
Details of the sale comparables to arrive at the value of the land component (as obtained from Jabatan Penilaian Dan Perkhidmatan Harta ("JPPH")) are tabulated as follows:-
| Description | Sale Comparable 1 | Sale Comparable 2 | Sale Comparable 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | A parcel of industrial land | A parcel of industrial land | A parcel of industrial land |
| Location | Lot 72529, Jalan Penaga 10, Taman Perindustrian Kota Puteri, Masai | PTD 171926, Jalan Kencana Emas 2, Kawasan Perindustrian Tebrau III, Johor Bahru | PTD 182004, Jalan Mega 1/9, Taman Perindustrian Nusa Cemerlang, Iskandar Puteri |
| Tenure | Interest in perpetuity | 99 years leasehold interest, expiring on 16/6/2110 (having an unexpired term of 86 years) | Interest in perpetuity |
| Category of Land Use | Industry | Industry | Industry |
| Planning Details | Zoned for industrial use | Zoned for industrial use | Zoned for industrial use |
| Land Area | 0.411 acre (17,890 square feet) | 0.972 acre (42,343 square feet) | 2.553 acres (111,213 square feet) |
| Consideration | RM2,850,000.00 | RM7,410,037.00 | RM18,350,099.00 |
| Date of Transaction | 25 March 2025 | 8 November 2024 | 15 November 2023 |
| Vendor | Khaw Zhan Wei and Sam Tek Yang | Sparkling Distinction Sdn Bhd | Panoramic Industrial Development Sdn Bhd |
| Purchaser | QL Lian Hoe Sdn Bhd | Homiest Living Sdn Bhd | Basis Bay Sdn Bhd |
| Analysed Land Value | RM159.31 per square foot ("psf") | RM175.00 psf | RM165.00 psf |
| Factors Considered for Adjustment | Time factor, location, size and tenure | ||
| Adjusted Value | RM175.00 psf | RM190.00 psf | RM225.00 psf |
| We have relied on Sale Comparable 2 as it is located nearest to the Subject Properties. |
For building component, we have adopted the replacement cost new (current cost) ranging from approximately RM180.00 psf to approximately RM250.00 psf for the factory as per Building Cost Information Services Malaysia (BCISM) Costbook 2025. This site improvement cost reflects the costs for site preparation, earthworks and external infrastructure development. Our checks with contractors and quantity surveyors revealed that the site improvement cost of RM25.00 per square foot is in line with the market.
The Market Values of the Subject Properties as per Cost Approach are as follows:
| Lot No. | Market Values |
|---|---|
| Plot A1 | RM17,900,000.00 |
| Plot A2 | RM12,000,000.00 |

Summary and Reconciliation of Value
| Valuation Methodology | Market Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Plot A1 | Plot A2 | |
| Comparison Approach | RM17,900,000.00 | RM12,000,000.00 |
| Cost Approach | RM17,900,000.00 | RM12,000,000.00 |
In arriving at the Market Values, the Comparison Approach is adopted as the primary approach.
The Cost Approach is not adopted as the Subject Properties are physically not yet constructed, rendering construction costs uncertain and the final completed form not readily ascertainable. Hence, the Cost Approach is only adopted as a check.
9. Opinion of Values
Having regard to the foregoing, our opinion of the Market Values of the legal interest in the Subject Properties, on the assumption that a Certificate of Completion and Compliance has been issued and subject to the forthcoming individual titles being free of all encumbrances, good, marketable and registrable are as follows:-
| Plot No. | Land Area | Market Value |
|---|---|---|
| Plot A1 | 5,163.273 Square Metres | |
| (55,577 Square Feet) | RM17,900,000.00 | |
| (Ringgit Malaysia Seventeen Million Nine Hundred | ||
| Thousand Only) | ||
| Plot A2 | 3,159.483 Square Metres | |
| (34,008 Square Feet) | RM12,000,000.00 | |
| (Ringgit Malaysia Twelve Million Only) | ||
| Summation of Market Value | RM29,900,000.00 | |
| (Ringgit Malaysia Twenty Nine Million Nine Hundred | ||
| Thousand Only) |
IF ANY PARTY WISHES TO RELY ON THE VALUATION BASED ON THE ASSUMPTIONS AS STATED ABOVE, THEN APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE SHOULD BE SOUGHT SINCE THE VALUE REPORTED IS BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS THAT ARE NOT YET OR FULLY REALISED.
We would also like to confirm that there are no further pertinent factors which may affect the values of the Subject Properties and the contents of this Valuation Certificate are in compliance with the Asset Valuation Guidelines issued by the Securities Commission Malaysia.
