Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ARB IOT Group Limited reported unaudited results for the six months ended December 31, 2025, with sharply higher sales but ongoing losses. Revenue rose 82% to RM150.4 million, driven entirely by IoT AI server hardware, while previous IoT building and agriculture projects contributed no revenue this period.

Cost of revenue increased to RM148.5 million, leaving a thin gross profit of RM1.9 million. Total expenses dropped 48% to RM16.6 million as depreciation and amortisation fell, cutting the net loss to RM14.7 million from RM27.5 million a year earlier. The balance sheet shows RM32.3 million in cash and bank balances and low total liabilities of RM42.3 million, including RM34.5 million of customer deposits recorded as contract liabilities. Trade receivables fell to zero after prior collections, and operating cash flow turned slightly positive.

Positive

  • Revenue growth and loss reduction: Revenue increased 82% year over year to RM150.4 million while the net loss nearly halved to RM14.7 million, reflecting stronger sales and significantly lower depreciation and amortisation expenses.

Negative

  • Thin margins and continued losses: Cost of revenue of RM148.5 million left gross profit of only RM1.9 million, and despite lower expenses the company still recorded a sizable six‑month net loss and negative retained earnings.

Insights

Revenue surged on AI server sales and losses narrowed, but profitability remains weak.

ARB IOT Group shifted its mix toward IoT AI server hardware, lifting revenue to RM150.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025, up 82% year over year. Prior-period IoT building and agriculture projects rolled off, so growth came from a new product focus.

However, cost of revenue of RM148.5 million kept gross profit at only RM1.9 million. While total expenses fell 47.8% to RM16.6 million, mainly from lower depreciation and amortisation on earlier investments, the company still posted a net loss of RM14.7 million.

On the balance sheet, cash and bank balances of RM32.3 million versus total liabilities of RM42.3 million suggest modest leverage. A new contract liability of RM34.46 million reflects customer deposits that may convert to revenue as goods are delivered, but future margins will depend on hardware sourcing costs and continued expense discipline in upcoming reporting periods.

Revenue RM150.4 million Six months ended December 31, 2025; up 82% year over year
Cost of revenue RM148.5 million Six months ended December 31, 2025; largely hardware costs

Cash and bank balances RM32.3 million As of December 31, 2025; includes deposits with a licensed bank

Net cash from operating activities RM0.36 million Six months ended December 31, 2025; versus RM9.15 million outflow prior year
IoT AI Server Solution technical
"For the six months ended December 31, 2025, revenue from IoT AI Server Solution amounted to RM150.4 million"
contract liabilities financial
"The Company’s contract liabilities balance was RM 34,460,000 and RM nil on December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025"
Contract liabilities are amounts a company has been paid in advance for goods or services it still owes to customers — think of them like gift cards or prepaid subscriptions the company must fulfill later. For investors, they show promised future work or deliveries that will turn into revenue over time, reveal cash already collected, and help assess whether a firm has a backlog of obligations that could affect future earnings and cash flow.
goodwill financial
"Goodwill is not subject to amortisation and is tested annually for impairment"
Goodwill is the extra value a buyer pays for a company above the measurable worth of its buildings, inventory and other tangible items, reflecting things like brand reputation, customer loyalty and expected future profits. Think of paying more for a café because of its famous name and regulars rather than its furniture alone. It matters to investors because changes in goodwill — for example a write-down if expected benefits don’t materialize — can reduce reported earnings and signal that past acquisitions aren’t delivering as hoped.
fair value hierarchy financial
"The different levels used in measuring fair value have been defined in accounting standards as follows Level 1 — the fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets"
deferred tax liabilities financial
"Deferred tax liabilities recognized in profit or loss for six months ended December 31, 2025 is RM 382,375"
An accounting entry that records taxes a company will likely have to pay in the future because the way profit is reported for investors (financial accounts) differs from how taxable income is calculated today. It matters to investors because it signals real future cash outflows that will reduce funds available for dividends, debt repayment or investment—think of it as a bill put on layaway that the company still must settle later, affecting valuation and financial strength.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

 

This summary provides a list of the material accounting policy information adopted in the preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements to the extent they have not been disclosed in the other notes below. The policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group consisting of ARB IOT Group Limited and its subsidiaries.

 

Basis for preparation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss, unaudited condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 include the results, changes in equity and cash flows of the companies comprising the Group as if the Company had always been the holding company of the Group and the current group structure had been in existence throughout period ended December 31, 2025 and year ended June 30, 2025, or since their respective dates of incorporation, where this is a shorter period.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ARB IOT Group Limited and its subsidiaries have been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRS IC”) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

F-7

 

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2025 do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements as of June 30, 2025.

 

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the IFRS have been condensed or omitted consistent with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of the Group’s management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, in normal recurring nature, as necessary for the fair statement of the Group’s financial position as of December 31, 2025, and statements of operations and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. 

 

Historical cost convention

 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other comprehensive loss.

 

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

 

There was no new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) that are relevant to the company’s current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The company has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

 

Business combinations

 

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method with assets and liabilities acquired recorded at the acquisition date fair value. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest share (“NCI”) in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure NCI in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

 

Upon loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group’s profit or loss is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the consideration received and of any investment retained in the former subsidiary and the previous carrying amount of the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.

Segmental Information

 

An operating segment is defined as a component of an entity for which discrete financial information is available and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM is comprised of the Management Board of the Group. The Group operates as two segments dedicated to the provision of hardware and software of Internet of Things solutions and investment holding and others. The CODM makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance based on the Group as a whole. Accordingly, the Group has determined it operates in two operating and reportable segments.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the Company’s presentation currency. The use of USD is solely for the convenience of the reader. All the functional currency of subsidiaries of the Company are Ringgit Malaysia.

 

Foreign currency transactions

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial period exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items are converted at the rate of exchange used to convert the related unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position items, i.e., at the time of the transaction.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenues are generally recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services provided to our customers, reflecting the amount of consideration we expect to receive for those products or services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

 

Revenues are recognized upon the application of the following steps:

 

1.Identification of the contract or contracts with a customer;

 

2.Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

 

3.Determination of the transaction price;

 

4.Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

5.Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Group currently generates its revenue from following main source:

 

Sale of goods

 

The Group is engaged in supply of customized IoT software or hardware. The majority of the sale of goods contracts are supply and install customized a set of IoT Smart Agriculture solution and customized source codes and reseller of mobile gadget and the relevant accessories.

 

F-11

 

 

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized at a point in time when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred as and when a customer obtains control of that asset which coincides with the delivery of goods and acceptance by the customer.

 

There is no material right of return and warranty provided to the customers on the sale of goods and there is no significant financing component in the revenue arising from sale of goods as the sales are made on the normal credit terms not exceeding twelve months.

 

Employee benefits

 

Short-term employee benefits

 

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group and the Company. Short-term accumulating compensated absence such as paid annual leave is recognised when services are rendered by employees and short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

 

Defined contribution plan

 

As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the Employees’ Provident Fund (“EPF”). The contributions are recognised as a liability after deducting any contribution already paid and as an expense in profit or loss in the period in which the employee render their services. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group and the Company has no further payment obligations.

 

Income tax

 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive loss.

 

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial year.

 

Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

 

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

  

Impairment of assets

 

Goodwill is not subject to amortisation and is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate it might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use and is calculated with reference to future discounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate when considered as part of a cash-generating unit. Assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. If an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment charge been recognized for the asset in prior years.

 

F-12

 

 

Cash and bank balances

 

For the purposes of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and, if applicable, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

Trade receivables

 

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value. The Group holds trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortized cost, less provision for impairment. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

 

Contract liabilities

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, a contract liability represents the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer when the customer prepays for a good or service or when the customer’s consideration is due for goods and services that the Company will yet provide whichever happens earlier.

 

Contract liabilities represent amounts collected from, or invoiced to, customers in excess of revenues recognized, primarily from the billing of annual subscription agreements. The value of contract liabilities will increase or decrease based on the timing of invoices and recognition of revenue. The Company’s contract liabilities balance was RM 34,460,000 and RM nil on December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

 

Trade payables

 

Trade payables are liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period which are unpaid. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. All trade payables were current for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and for the year ended June 30, 2025.

 

Share capital and reserves

 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds of the issue.

 

Fair value hierarchy

 

Financial instruments are carried at fair value. The different levels used in measuring fair value have been defined in accounting standards as follows:

 

Level 1 — the fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.

 

Level 2 — the fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

 

Level 3 — if one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

 

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers.

 

F-13

 

 

3. CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

 

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgment in applying the Group’s accounting policies.

 

This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be wrong. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgments is included in other notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

 

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements other than disclosed in the Note 9 - intangible asset.

(a)Trade receivables are classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost.

 

(b)Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and the normal credit terms of trade receivables granted by the Group based on cash on delivery basis (June 30, 2025: 30 to 210 days). Other credit terms are assessed and approved on a case-by-case basis. They are recognised at their original invoices amounts, which represent their fair values on initial recognition.

 

(c)Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are recognised based on the simplified approach using the lifetime expected credit losses.

   

(d)For trade receivables, which are reported net, such impairments are recorded in a separate impairment account with the loss being recognised within administrative expenses in the statements of operations and other comprehensive loss on confirmation that the trade receivable would not be collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset would be written off against the associated impairment.

 

Subsequent reversal of an impairment loss for trade receivables is recognised in the statement of operations and other comprehensive loss as a reversal of impairment losses upon settlement from the credit-impaired trade receivables.

 

Management exercised significant judgments in determining the probability of default by trade receivables and appropriate forward-looking information.

Supply/Service Agreements

 

Supply Agreement, Service Agreement and the Reseller and Drone Service Agreement (“Supply/Service Agreements”) recognized in a business combination is a contract-based intangible asset at the acquisition date and is initially measure at cost. After initial recognition, Supply/Service Agreement is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

 

For the purpose of initial cost recognition, The Group had appointed Independent Valuer (“the Valuer”) to value Supply/Service Agreement based on Discounted Cash Flow Valuation Model (“DCF valuation model”), where the Valuer has adopted the mid-point cost of equity (“Ke”) as the discount rate for future cash flows on June 3, 2022.

 

The initial cost recognition was taken the following basis into consideration:

 

the expected cash flows received by Digital Agrophonic Sdn. Bhd. (“DASB”) derived from the execution of the Supply/Service Agreements, whereby DASB is authorised to sell, promote, market the products and drone services to customers net present value of such cash flows. Subsequent to the execution of the Reseller and Drone Service Agreement, DASB has signed the Supply Agreement and Service Agreement for:-

 

  (i)

provision of all-in-one drone services to streamline workflows on farms and plantation which includes but not limited to spraying pest protection solution for a variety of crops for a period of ten (10) years; and 

     
  (ii) purchase of Multi-Rotor Agricultural unmanned aeril vehicles (“UAV”) manufactured and marketed under the trademark of Guangzhou Xaircraft Technology Co. Ltd (“GXT”) for a period of ten (10) years and Multi-Rotor Agricultural UAVs from others suppliers from other countries.

 

the potential future economic benefits expected to derived from the Reseller and Drone Services Agreement for the next ten (10) years period with an option to renew for another five (5) years; and

 

rationale and prospects of the Subscription.

 

The calculation initial cost of Supply/Service Agreement are most sensitive the following assumptions:

 

(i)Revenue and income pursuant to the Reseller and Drone Service Agreement, the Supply Agreement, and the Service Agreement for the period from ten (10) years, which is derived from 2 main sources as follows:

 

  Sale of Products – Multi-Rotor Agricultural UAVs.
     
  Drone Services – Services of providing all-in-one drone services to streamline workflows on farms and plantations which includes but not limited to spraying pest protection solution for a variety of crops.

 

    The selling price per unit of the products are approximately RM 5,800 per unit, inflated by 5% per annum for every 3-year intervals. Approximately 272 units is expected to be sold within these ten (10) years.

 

    Drone Services provided will be charged at a rate of approximately RM 342,800 per month and shall be inflated by 5% per annum for every 3-years intervals. Approximately 608 times of the services is expected to be provided within these ten (10) years.   

 

F-22

 

 

(ii)There will be no unusual events or transactions that will materially affect the operations or results of DASB.

 

(iii)There will be no legal proceedings against DASB which will adversely affect the activities or performance of DASB or give rise to any contingent liabilities, which will materially affect the position or business of DASB.

 

(iv)There will be no adverse effects from weather conditions, industrial accidents or other similar occurrence, climatic diseases, wars, terrorist attacks, and other natural risks, both domestically and internationally, that may affect the operations, income and expenditure of DASB.

 

(v)DASB meets all the regulations and standards prescribed by the authorities.

 

(vi)There will be not any substantial impairment to the carrying value of DASB’s non-current assets.

 

(vii)Pre-tax discount rate of 11.79% (June 30, 2024: 11.79%) per annum has been be applied in the determining the initial cost recognition.

 

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

 

Computer system

 

Computer system comprise of source codes recognized in a business combination at the acquisition date and source codes purchased from third parties, which were held for use in the production or supply of goods or services to customers. The source codes are initially measure at cost. After initial recognition, source codes are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

 

Amortisation is calculated to write down the cost of the assets to their residual values on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives represent common life expectancies applied in the various business segments of the Group. The principal annual rates used are between range of 10% to 20%.

 

The computer system is written-off when it is disposed of or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal, with any gain or loss recognized in the statements of operations and other comprehensive loss.

 

F-23

 

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill recognised in a business combination is an asset at the acquisition date and is initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

 

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group’s CGUs which represent the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is assessed annually for any indication of impairment.

 

The recoverable amounts of the CGUs have been determined based on value in use (“VIU”) calculations. The VIU is calculated using the pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. VIU was determined by discounting the future cash flow generated from the business operation of the CGUs.

 

The calculations of VIU for the CGUs are most sensitive to the following assumptions:

 

(i)Revenue growth rates

 

The forecasted growth rates are determined based on past performance of the CGUs.

 

(ii)Expenses growth rate

 

Expenses are projected at annual increase of approximately 3.0% (June 30, 2024: 3.0%) per annum.

 

(iii)Pre-tax discount rates

 

Pre-tax discount rate of 13.2% (June 30, 2025: 11.34% to 13.2%) per annum has been applied in determining the recoverable amount of the CGUs.

 

(iv)Profit margin

 

Profit margins are projected based on the historical profit margin achieved or predetermined profit margin for the CGUs.

 

With regards to the assessment of the value-in-use of the CGU relating to goodwill, no impairment loss was recognized for the intangible assets on consolidation for current financial year as its recoverable value was in excess of its carrying values.

23. RISK MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

 

The overall financial risk management objective of the Group is to optimise its shareholders value and not to engage in speculative transactions.

 

The Group is exposed mainly to market risk (which comprises interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity and cash flow risk arising from their business activities.

 

(a)Market risk: Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the financial instruments of the Group and of the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The exposure to market risk of the Group for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the deposits placed with a licensed bank of the Group.

 

Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk

 

The Group is not exposed to interest rate risk as the interest-bearing financial instruments carry fixed interest rates. As such, sensitivity analysis is not disclosed.

 

(b)Credit risk

 

Exposure to credit risk arises mainly from sales made on credit terms. The Group controls the credit risk on sales by ensuring that its customers have sound financial position and credit history. The Group also seeks to invest cash assets safely and profitably with approved financial institutions in line with the policy of the Group.

 

Exposure to credit risk

 

At the end of each reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk of the Group and of the Company is represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised in the statements of financial position. Information regarding credit enhancement for trade and other receivables is disclosed in Notes 5 and 6 respectively.

 

The credit risk concentration profile has been disclosed in Note 5.

 

(c)Liquidity and cash flow risk

 

Liquidity and cash flow risks are the risks that the Group and the Company will not be able to meet their financial obligation when they are fall due. The exposure of the Group and of the Company to liquidity risk are principally from their payable and lease liability.

 

The Group actively manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure that all operating, investing and financing needs are met. In executing its liquidity risk management strategy, the Group measures and forecasts its cash commitments and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the activities of the Group.

 

The analysis of financial instruments by remaining contractual maturities has been disclosed in Notes 10 and 11 to the financial statements respectively.

Utilizing advanced imaging, AI, and real-time data analytics, the system offers precision mapping, crop health monitoring, pest detection, and automated spraying.

 

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

 

Our business, results of operations and financial condition are affected by general factors driving Malaysia’s economy, the IoT industry, and the markets where our customers operate such as property development, agriculture and logistics sectors. These factors include urbanization rate, levels of per capita disposable income, levels of consumer spending, rate of internet and mobile penetration, development of technologies such as 5G and cloud computing, domestic and international supply chain stability, overall enterprise spending, and other general economic conditions in Malaysia that affect consumption and business activities in general.

Our business results are more directly affected by the following factors:

 

Our ability to secure IoT projects. The operations of our IoT Smart Building and Engineering, IoT Smart Agriculture and System Development and IoT AI Server Solution business lines are on a project-by-project basis. We engage in providing system development, supply, installation, commissioning, testing and sale of smart systems that include IoT concept and functionality onto existing systems across various industries. We believe there are significant untapped opportunities to win new large enterprises across different industries in Malaysia and the ASEAN region. In addition to large enterprises, we also seek to work with smaller, fast-growing companies that require a different set of services that allow us to test new offerings and develop new capabilities.

 

Our customers’ financial condition and ability to make payments. Our customers’ financial condition and their ability to make payments may impact our operations. As our customers generally purchase our products on credit, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected if they encounter financial difficulties. To mitigate the credit risk, we require our customer to enter contracts based on cash-on-delivery basis. As at December 31, 2025, there is no outstanding payment from the customers. We manage credit risk related to our customers by performing periodic evaluations of credit worthiness and applying other credit risk monitoring procedures.

 

Our ability to deliver contracts on schedule. All of our contracts have agreed contracts and delivery terms. Our ability to meet agreed contracts and delivery terms depends on our ability to manage product sourcing and supply chain. We source hardware and software products for our contracts from Malaysian suppliers. Proximity to origin enables us to develop stronger relationships with local suppliers and contractors, which gives us access to a stable supply of products and services. In addition, we lay out specific and measurable metrics in advance and remain focused and disciplined through the life of the contracts which enable us to promptly identify any underlying issues and resolve them proactively.

 

In addition, other significant factors affecting our performance and results of our operations include:

 

The global macroeconomy

 

Wage rates and operating costs in Malaysia

 

Changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly fluctuations in exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Ringgit Malaysia

 

Our ability to retain existing clients, as well as to increase our revenue from existing clients by expanding services provided to them

 

Our ability to provide favorable pricing

 

Our ability to expand and deepen the quality, range and diversity of our portfolio of service offerings while maintaining high quality standards

 

Our ability to maintain and strengthen a strong brand and corporate reputation

 

Our ability to continuously innovate, and continuously remain at the forefront of emerging technologies and related market trends

 

Our ability to identify, integrate and effectively manage future acquisitions

 

Our Reportable Segments

 

An operating segment is defined as a component of an entity for which discrete financial information is available and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by our management. We report our results of operations in two reportable segments dedicated to (i) the provision of hardware and software of Internet of Things solutions and (ii) investment holding. The management makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance based on the Company as a whole. We provide breakdowns by business lines for certain components of our operating results as appropriate.
