SECTION 5 BUSINESS OVERVIEW OF THE TMS GROUP
5.1 BACKGROUND
TMS constructs and leases telecommunication towers and operates and leases the
fibre optic trunks to the telecommunication service providers. It was awarded the
Network Facility Provider NFP, Network Service Provider NSP covering Malaysia.
5.2.1 TMS
TMS was awarded with the NFP and NSP licenses by MCMC in 2008. The licenses
were renewed on 4 February 2018, and are valid until 3 February 2028. Under the
NFP license, TMS’ operations would involve ownership or provision of any network
facilities in Malaysia; and under the NSP license, the provision of any network service
subject to the conditions stated in the licenses.
As at 31 August 2018, TMS has entered into the fibre optic cable agreements as
described in Section 5.4 below, in relation to the provision of fibre optic network
services.
128
Pursuant to the terms of the individual fibre optic cable agreement, TMS may also
provide maintenance and support services to ensure the continuous provisioning of
dark fibre to the telecommunications companies. Such maintenance and support
services include but are not limited to periodic and routine maintenance works,
remedial maintenance works, preventive maintenance works, the committed fault
respond time, fault resolution time, frequency and resources allocation, where TMS is
required to provide efficient maintenance and support services in compliance with the
scope of work and service level agreement attached to the fibre optic cable
agreements. Where there is a failure by TMS on the aforesaid maintenance and
support services, the telecommunications companies may be entitled to deduct
payments due to TMS as penalty in accordance with the respective terms of the
service level agreements.
Notably, TMS and Genting Malaysia Berhad has entered into a right of way and open
access agreement on 30 April 2015 where Genting Malaysia Berhad has agreed to
grant a non-exclusive right of way to TMS to solely enable TMS to trench, lay, install,
commission, operate, maintain, repair and remove the fibre optic cables and
associated equipment (including cabinets) on, over and under the designated
portions of the land described in the said agreement; and to access the land for the
purposes of carrying out works from time to time by TMS’ employees and
contractors.
129
Further, TMS and Telekom Malaysia Berhad has entered into a master collaboration
agreement on 9 January 2017 with the intention of transforming both parties to be
pioneers of convergence providers in Malaysia by leveraging on the expertise and
capabilities of each party in relation to the business collaboration matters as set out
in the master collaboration agreement. TMS and Telekom Malaysia Berhad
subsequently executed the specific terms and conditions for the collaboration of the
Smart CRAN services for Putrajaya on 4 April 2017. The Smart CRAN is a new
solution of cellular network architecture for the future mobile network infrastructure,
particularly on Radio Access Network (RAN). It provides a centralised RAN
architecture that support 2G, 3G and 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems and
future wireless communication standard, addressing huge capacity requirements,
space constraints as well as preserving aesthetic values of urban cities. Under the
said agreement, which includes the deployment of a close circuit televisions system
for monitoring purposes, TMS is obligated to conduct planning, design, deployment,
maintenance and the necessary security access for the infrastructure such as poles,
antenna, combiners, cabinets, power supply, battery or rectifiers; and/or any other
infrastructure relevant for the implementation of the centralised radio access network
services at the selected locations, or cell sites, in Putrajaya.
TMS was granted a letter of award by DNSB dated 12 April 2018 and entered into a
master service agreement dated 26 September 2018 for the provision of indefeasible
right of use of fiber optic cores (128 cores) and operation and maintenance and site
rental for the link from Endau to Tol Gombak in accordance to the terms therein. The
term of the right of use shall be for a period of twenty five (25) years and shall
commence from the ready for service date.
5.2.2 TMX
TMX has renewed its NFP license with MCMC effective from 25 January 2015, which
is valid until 24 January 2020. Under the NFP license, TMX’s operations would
involve the building and the subsequent maintenance of new telecommunication
towers in Malaysia, where TMX operates particularly in the state of Pahang.
On 28 April 2005, TMX entered into a license agreement with Celcom, Digi and
Maxis (collectively, the “Operators”) which was supplemented by a supplemental
agreement dated 26 June 2008, whereby TMX shall construct and license the use of
telecommunication towers to the Operators based on a set of pre-determined terms
and conditions. Under the said license agreement, the Operators shall be entitled to
execute and serve TMX a location criteria notice for a telecommunication tower. A
location criteria notice is a notice which identifies, among others, the preferred site of
a telecommunication tower, the Operators operating in the said telecommunication
tower as well as the planned height and structural loading of the telecommunication
tower. The said license agreement with the Operators is the main license agreement
for TMX and since then TMX has entered into other license agreements with other
telecommunications providers on similar basis of operations. The tenure of the
license agreements are ranging from 3 years to 15 years. Subject to the terms and
conditions of the license agreements, even if the license agreements have expired,
the Work Orders will still be subsisting.
130
Upon receipt of the notice, TMX shall provide the preferred site and arrange for a
joint survey with the Operators. If the site is confirmed by the Operators, TMX will
need to submit the necessary applications for the relevant local authorities’ approval
for the construction of the telecommunication tower. Where applicable, TMX is
responsible for entering into a tenancy agreement for the site. Once the approvals of
the relevant local authorities are granted, the Operators will issue a Work Order to
TMX, which confirms the Operators’ commitment to a site with respect to the location,
type and height of the telecommunication tower, monthly fee payable and the
scheduled hand-over date so that construction of the telecommunication tower can
commence.
After the delivery of the Work Order, TMX shall proceed to construct the
telecommunication towers and hand-over the telecommunication tower to the
Operators as evidenced by a certificate of acceptance. Upon the hand-over, TMX will
receive an income stream for the duration of the license period. In the event there is
a delay in the scheduled handover date of the telecommunication tower, liquidated
damages will be payable. Furthermore, TMX is responsible for taking out the relevant
insurance coverage in relation to the telecommunication towers.
As at 31 August 2018, TMX has completed and rented out approximately 520
telecommunication structures in Pahang to the Operators. In addition, TMX has
received 244 new site orders from various telecommunications companies pursuant
to the existing license agreements entered into between TMX and the said
telecommunications companies. Approximately 31% of the new site orders as at 31
August 2018 were issued by the Operators and 65% of the new site orders were
issued by U Mobile, with the remaining site orders issued by Webe.
Further, TMX is in discussions with U Mobile for co-sharing of an additional 108 sites

Note: The figures above do not include the 118 telecommunication structures contracted and
owned by MCMC but constructed and operated by TMX.
The fee payment structure payable as provided under the License Agreements
depend on the height and the number of telecommunication companies sharing for a
telecommunication structure.
TMS is engaged in the business of constructing dark fibre optic cable networks. It
involves the installation of fibre optic cables currently lying dormant and not lit. Once
the telecommunication companies lease these cables from the Guarantors, these
fibre optic cables are then lit and becomes operational.
156
The process flow for fibre optic network construction is as below:
157
The construction work of the telecommunication infrastructure and the fibre network
is sub-contracted to Touch Metal Sdn Bhd, a related company of the Issuer.
TMX was awarded jointly by MCMC and the Ministry of Energy Water and
Communications (KTAK) as the “Best State Backed Company” under the “Anugerah
Program Time 2” (Time 2 Program Award) on 26 October 2007.
In 2016, TMX was awarded with the “Anugerah Syarikat Swasta Berprestasi Tinggi”
(High Performance Private Company Award) from the Pahang branch of the Royal
Malaysian Customs Department, in conjunction with the celebration of the 34th World
Customs Day celebration.
The key customers of the Guarantors are Maxis, Digi, Celcom, U Mobile, Webe,
YTLC and Telekom Malaysia.
As at 31st August 2018, the total Work Orders subsisting are as follows:

SECTION 6 INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
An investment in the Sukuk Wakalah involves certain risks. Prospective investors of the
Sukuk Wakalah should consider carefully, in the light of their own financial circumstances
and investment objectives, the following factors, in addition to the matters set forth
elsewhere in this Information Memorandum, prior to investing in the Sukuk Wakalah. The
risk factors relating to the Sukuk Wakalah Programmes and TMS Group’s business and their
possible mitigating factors which are summarised below do not purport to be comprehensive
or exhaustive and are not intended to be a substitute or replacement for an independent
assessment of the risk factors that may affect the Sukuk Wakalah. Prospective investors are
strongly encouraged to undertake their own investigations and analysis on the Issuer, the
Guarantors and their businesses and the risks associated with the Sukuk Wakalah
Programmes.
Investors should also note that each series under the Sukuk Wakalah may carry different
risks and all investors should evaluate each series of the Sukuk Wakalah on its respective
merits. The information contained in this Information Memorandum includes forward-looking
statements, which implies risks and uncertainties. The Issuer's actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements and/or otherwise
projected as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those set forth in this
section. Prospective investors should read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this
Information Memorandum and reach their own views prior to making any investment
decision.
TMS and TMX have entered into the relevant License Agreements as set out in
Section 5.4 of this Information Memorandum. The main source of redemption of the
Sukuk Wakalah and the payment of the Expected Periodic Distribution Amount shall
be from the successful collection of the amount payable to TMX, TMS and TMSM by
the telecommunications companies pursuant to the Work Orders and the License
Agreements.
Each of the License Agreements and the Work Orders has a fixed term which is
subject to renewal as may be agreed between the parties thereto. There is no
assurance that the relevant counterparties continue to renew the License
Agreements and/or Work Orders upon expiry. There is also no assurance that the
License Agreements and the Work Orders, in the event the parties agree to renew/
extend the term, will be renewed immediately upon the expiry/within the renewal
period. The businesses of TMX, TMS and TMSM may be affected if the relevant
License Agreements and/or Work Orders have not been renewed or renewed on less
favourable terms to TMX, TMS and/or TMSM.
There is also no assurance that the Work Orders and the Project Agreements will not
be terminated. Although the Work Orders and the License Agreements are subject to
termination risks, they can only be terminated in limited set of events as stipulated in
the Project Agreements and as at 31 August 2018, no Work Order nor Licences
Agreement has been terminated by the relevant counterparties prior to its expiry.
160
Where the telecommunications companies have elected for an early termination of
the respective Work Orders prior to their expiry, the telecommunications companies
would be subjected to various termination obligations pursuant to the individual terms
of the respective License Agreements or Work Orders, such as a requirement to
provide prior notice to the relevant Guarantor(s), the forfeiture of payments made by
the telecommunications companies towards the security deposit; and/or the
acceleration of payment of the entire license fee for the remaining unexpired portion
of the license term by the telecommunications companies, as agreed liquidated
damages.
6.1.2 License Agreements not entered into by TMS and the relevant
telecommunications companies
The License Agreements made between TMX, TMS and the various
telecommunications companies are generally entered into on a non-exclusive basis
and the License Agreements generally do not prevent any of the telecommunications
companies from entering into similar agreements with third parties duly licensed
under the CMA or preclude the telecommunications companies from building and/or
sharing infrastructure with any other parties and/or building its own infrastructure.
Hence, there may be no assurance that the telecommunications companies may not
elect to lease, rent or license telecommunications infrastructures owned by other
third parties duly licensed under the CMA, or build their own infrastructures.
161
As a mitigating factor, despite the non-exclusive nature of the License Agreements,
to date, the telecommunications companies which have commenced the leasing,
renting or licensing of telecommunication structures from TMS or TMX have not
ceased from leasing, renting or licensing the said telecommunications infrastructure
from TMX or TMS. Although there can be no assurance that the telecommunications
companies would continue with the respective License Agreements with TMS or
TMX, the said telecommunications companies would be required to incur additional
costs in relocating their equipment from the telecommunications infrastructures
owned by TMS and TMX if the telecommunications companies elect to terminate the
relevant License Agreements or Work Orders with TMX or TMS. The
telecommunications companies have continued to occupy the sites and pay the
outstanding monthly license fee amounts due to the suitability of the relevant sites for
their network services. Any interruption to such occupation may result in a disruption
of network services to mobile cellular device users.
Further, despite the non-exclusive nature of the License Agreements, TMS and TMX
are experienced in the industry, having developed long term business relationships
with more than ten (10) years of working relationship with their major customers.
Such long term business relationships have enabled TMS and TMX to develop a
good understanding of their customers’ requirements and expectations, ensuring
continuity of business with their existing customers.
The TMS Group’s operations are subject to the jurisdiction of various governmental
agencies with respect to regulatory matters such as the Ministry of Communications
and Multimedia Malaysia and the MCMC. These regulations and requirements may
limit the TMS Group’s activities or result in high compliance costs. Any failure by the
TMS Group to comply with such regulations could result in material penalties being
imposed on the TMS Group. No assurance can be given that any future changes to
present regulation or any introduction of new regulation, or laws, by relevant
authorities will not have a material adverse impact on the TMS Group’s business,
such as an increase in the cost of compliance by the TMS Group pursuant to an
imposition of additional conditions on the licenses held by the TMS Group.
The licenses held by the TMS Group as at 31 August 2018 are described in Section
5.3 above, where the business activities of TMS and TMX are subject to such
licenses. The businesses of TMS Group are highly dependent on the licenses held by
the companies in TMS Group, where the provision of network facilities and network
services are licensable activities under the CMA.
There is no assurance that the licenses will not be suspended or terminated, or that
such licenses will be maintained or continued to be renewed, which may
consequently adversely affect the Guarantors’ ability to conduct its business or
operations or to make collections on the receivables from the telecommunications
companies.
As a mitigating factor, the NFP and NSP licenses of TMS have been renewed on 4
February 2018 by the MCMC and will continue to be in effect until 3 February 2028,
subject to the conditions in the said licenses and such licenses have continuously
been renewed since TMS obtained its NFP and NSP licenses. The NFP license of
TMX has been renewed with effective date from 25 January 2015 by the MCMC and
will continue to be in effect until 24 January 2020, subject to the conditions in TMX’s
NFP license and such license has continuously been renewed since TMX first
obtained its NFP license.
162
In the event TMS Group enters into written agreements which are labelled as
“Access Agreements” and falls within the MCMC’s Determination on Access List and
Mandatory Standard on Access or which arise out of a Reference Access Offer, such
Access Agreements may be required to be registered with MCMC under Section 150
of the CMA. TMS Group will submit any of such Access Agreement to the MCMC for
registration, however there is no assurance that the Access Agreements entered into
by the TMS Group will be registered by the MCMC.
The TMS Group derives a significant portion of its income from its major customers,
namely Maxis, Digi, Celcom and Telekom Malaysia. For the FYE 31 December 2017,
Maxis, DiGi, Celcom and Telekom Malaysia contributed an aggregate of
approximately seventy per centum (70%) of the TMS Group’s total revenue. The loss
of any major customers may adversely affect the TMS Group’s business, results of
operations, financial condition and prospects.
TMX operates on frame agreements namely License Agreements with its customers
who are not committed to issue Work Orders to TMX at any specific interval during
the duration of the License Agreements and such License Agreements do not have
any contract value assigned to them.
TMS operates on Work Orders with its customers who are not committed to issue
Work Orders to TMS at any specific interval.
163
The Project Management Agreement and the Collaboration Agreement are
contractual in nature and there can be no assurance that the Project Management
Agreement or the Collaboration Agreement would be renewed upon their respective
expiry.
Despite the uncertainty, as at 31 August 2018, MICTH holds 25% of the shares in
TMSM and was involved in the conception of TMSM as a joint venture company.
Further, TMSM’s experience of approximately 13 years in the industry has enabled
TMSM to develop a good understanding of MICTH’s requirements and expectations,
thus ensuring continuity of business with MICTH, with the Collaboration Agreement
for a period of 20 years entered between TMSM and MICTH in 2017.
The primary sources of redemption of the Sukuk Wakalah and the payment of
periodic distributions shall be from the successful collection of the amount payable to
the Guarantors primarily by the specific telecommunications companies shown in the
table below pursuant to the Work Orders. There can be no assurance that the
payments due will be received on a timely manner and subject to any delays, which
may have a direct impact on the Issuer’s ability to service the payment obligations of
the Sukuk Wakalah under the Sukuk Wakalah Programmes.
Payment terms and amounts payable to TMS and TMX by the telecommunications
companies are governed by the respective License Agreements and/or Work Orders
made between or issued by the telecommunications companies to TMS or TMX while
payment terms and amounts payable to TMSM is set out in the Project Management
Agreement.
164
6.1.7 Competition risk
There can be no assurance that there will be no other players who will provide the
same telecommunication facilities, as the NFP and NSP licenses held by the TMS
and/or TMX are non-exclusive and such other license holders can operate, if so
authorised under their respective licenses.
Despite the competition risk, TMS and TMX are experienced in the industry, having
developed long term business relationships with more than ten (10) years of working
relationship with their major customers. Such long term business relationships have
enabled TMS and TMX to develop a good understanding of their customers’
requirements and expectations, ensuring continuity of business with their existing
customers.
Further, as of date, TMS is the only provider of the Smart CRAN services where TMS
will contribute its expertise in the provision of street pole structures and
telecommunication equipment in Putrajaya.
The TMS Group’s revenue is mainly derived from its business of being an
infrastructure and fibre provider to the telecommunications companies in Peninsular
Malaysia including the state of Pahang and Melaka. The TMS Group’s ability to
continuously procure Work Orders is attributable to its ability to fulfil client’s
requirements based on specific quality, quantity and on a timely basis. Any failure or
delays on the TMS Group’s part may result in deferment or loss of revenue to the
TMS Group or its clients.
Occasionally, the TMS Group may face downtime due to weather, sub-contractor’s
manpower shortage and delay in delivery of supplies and equipment due to shipment
or production delays which are not within its control. However, the TMS Group keeps
supply of some of these pertinent equipment and supplies in order for the TMS Group
to continue delivering its services to its clients. The TMS Group also ensures that it
has adequate suppliers of materials and sub-contractors who will be able to provide
the TMS Group with the necessary supplies and perform tasks as required from time
to time.
165
6.1.9 Technological changes
Nevertheless in the near future, with the roll out of new telecommunication
technology and the increase in data usage amongst users as data and call rates are
competitively reduced, telecommunications companies see a need to also increase
their capacity and network coverage. For example, from a base station, third
generation (“3G”) or fourth generation (“4G”) coverage is relatively narrower which
require more nodes or connecting points than say GSM coverage. The increase in
the use of 3G or 4G services and data contents would require additional
infrastructure for such advancement or increase in use. Hence, whilst there is
consolidation of existing network infrastructure, new infrastructure will still be required
due to heavier usage and newer telecommunications technology.
Further, TMS Group has taken steps to collaborate with its clients, where TMS has
entered into a master collaboration agreement with Telekom Malaysia on 9 January
2017 with the intention of transforming both parties to be pioneers of convergence
providers in Malaysia by leveraging on the expertise and capabilities of each party.
Both parties have subsequently executed the specific terms and conditions for the
provision of Smart CRAN services for Putrajaya.
Whilst the TMS Group believes that this is in line with the common practice among
infrastructure providers in Malaysia, there is no assurance that the local municipal
authorities or state authority would (i) grant such approvals (with or without further
conditions); (ii) grant/renew the said approvals in a timely manner; and/or (iii) would
not take any action to shut down such sites and/or impose penalties to the TMS
Group for non-compliance. Any action by local municipal authorities or state authority
requiring the dismantling of such infrastructure may cause interruptions to the
operations of the TMS Group and increase costs which could have an adverse effect
on the business and operations of the TMS Group. However, the TMS Group have so
far been able to obtain the relevant approvals from the local municipal authorities or
state authority even after such infrastructure have been constructed and continuously
follows up with the relevant local municipal authorities or state authority in order to
obtain the relevant approvals.
166
6.1.11 Tenancy Agreements which have expired
Under the relevant license agreements, the TMS Group is responsible to enter into a
tenancy agreement for the relevant site. The tenancy agreements are entered with a
fixed term and subject to renewal as may be agreed between the parties thereto.
There is no assurance that the landowners will renew the tenancy agreements upon
expiry.
In addition, due to multiple land owners (i.e. independent of each other), the
likelihood of all the tenancy agreements being terminated simultaneously is unlikely.
167
As a mitigating factor, since the start of operations, the TMS Group has not made a
claim on any of its insurance policies. The telecommunication infrastructures are built
and certified by independent professional engineers before a site is handed over to
the telecommunications companies for the commencement of their operations. The
telecommunication infrastructures are constructed in compliance with technical
standards imposed by the MCMC.
Further, the Guarantors routinely maintain all of their sites and keep their
telecommunication infrastructure in good repair and condition. As part of its
obligations under the License Agreements, TMX is required to maintain, upgrade,
repair or replace the telecommunication infrastructure in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the License Agreements. As such, the likelihood of an insurance
claim arising from neglect or poor maintenance of the Guarantors’ sites is reduced.
Being in a highly specialised industry, the TMS Group’s continued success and future
performance is dependent to a large extent on its key management personnel and
experienced skilled workers with specialised skills, particularly in design and
engineering, project management and quality and safety assurance. The TMS Group
is managed by a team of qualified key management personnel, including experienced
skilled workers who have extensive knowledge and experience in the
telecommunication infrastructure provider industry. The loss of any of these
individuals, or failure to attract, recruit and retain appropriate replacements and
successors, may adversely affect the quality of the TMS Group’s services,
operational prospects, financial condition and ability to perform.
TMS Group is aware of such a risk and has in place retention tools such as on-the-
job training, succession planning and training and continuous professional
development initiatives by sending their key personnel for external courses. Further,
TMS Group actively recruits external professionals for the maintenance and
expansion of their existing talent pool. TMS Group also keeps in place reserve teams
whose members are able to replace key personnel upon resignation or temporary
absence, in order to ensure that there is a continuity in service to their clients.
168
6.2 RISKS RELATING TO THE SUKUK WAKALAH PROGRAMMES
During the tenure of the Sukuk Wakalah, the Guarantors shall as a continuing
obligation, jointly and severally guarantee, in favour of the Security Agent for and on
behalf of the Sukukholders, the payment of the sale price equivalent to the
commodity purchase price equivalent to such remaining proceeds of the relevant
Sukuk Wakalah after investment into the Shariah-compliant Business plus the profit
margin payable on deferred basis and the market value of the Shariah-compliant
Business up to an amount equivalent to the aggregate of the nominal value or the
accreted value of the Sukuk Wakalah (as the case may be) and the accrued but
unpaid Expected Periodic Distribution Amount. The payment under such guarantees
will be dependent upon the financial strength and the ability to pay of the Guarantors
and subject to the risk inherent to the business and operations of the Guarantors.
Each prospective investor is requested to conduct his/her/its own independent
assessment and evaluation of the Guarantors.
6.2.2 Issuer's ability to meet payment obligations under the Sukuk Wakalah
The Issuer is a special purpose vehicle and has no significant operating history or
material assets, and is intended to be a conduit to raise financing in the capital
market. The Issuer is not engaged in any business activity other than the issuance of
the Islamic securities and other activities incidental or related to the foregoing as
required under the respective Islamic securities’ transaction documents.
The ability of the Issuer to pay amounts due on the Sukuk Wakalah will primarily be
dependent upon receipt by the Issuer from the Guarantors of any amounts due under
the transaction documents. All principal and profit payments made by the Issuer
under the Sukuk Wakalah Programmes are expected to be from the income
generated by the Guarantors from the License Agreements and Work Orders.
All payments under the Sukuk Wakalah will not be the obligations or responsibilities
of any other party other than the Issuer and the Guarantors and will not be the
obligations or responsibilities of the Lead Arranger, the Lead Manager, the Facility
Agent, the Security Agent, the Sukuk Trustee and/or any subsidiary or affiliate
thereof, and any other person involved or interested in the transactions envisaged
under the Sukuk Wakalah. None of such persons will accept any liability whatsoever
to the Sukukholders in respect of any failure of the Issuer and/or the Guarantors to
pay any amount due in respect of the Sukuk Wakalah.
While the Sukuk Wakalah is secured by the security package outlined in Section 1.5
of this Information Memorandum, the realisation value of the security or any part
thereof may be adversely affected by numerous factors, including without limitation,
general changes in political and economic conditions, changes in governmental
rules, the risks mentioned in Section 6.1 herein and regulations, war or acts of
violence and other factors which are beyond the control of the Issuer, the
Guarantors, the Security Agent and any person or party involved or interested in the
Sukuk Wakalah.
No assurance can be given that in the event of enforcement of such security, the
proceeds obtained from the realisation of such security would be sufficient for
payment and redemption of all the outstanding Sukuk Wakalah.
169
6.2.4 Liquidity of the Sukuk Wakalah
The Sukuk Wakalah comprises of a new issue of Islamic securities for which there is
currently no established secondary market. There is no assurance that a secondary
market for the Sukuk Wakalah will develop or, if it does develop, that it will provide
the Sukukholders with liquidity of investment or that it will continue for the tenure of
the Sukuk Wakalah. Any sale of the Sukuk Wakalah by the Sukukholders in any
secondary market which may develop may be at a discount from the original issue
price of the Sukuk Wakalah, depending on various factors, including the prevailing
interest rates and the market for similar securities.
The Issuer shall have the option to upsize the limit of the IMTN Programme and the
ICP Programme. However it is subject to the following conditions:- (a) the Issuer shall
obtain all required regulatory approvals, if any; and (b) compliance with the relevant
requirements under the LOLA Guidelines; and (c) such other terms and/or conditions
as may be advised by the solicitor, if any.
The Sukukholders shall be deemed to have provided their upfront consent to such
upsizing of the limit of the IMTN Programme and the ICP Programme in the Trust
Deed. No consent is required from the Sukuk Trustee, the Facility Agent and any
other party under the IMTN Programme or the ICP Programme when the upsizing of
the limit of the IMTN Programme or the ICP Programme is exercised by the Issuer.
6.2.6 The market value of the Sukuk Wakalah may be subject to fluctuation
The market value of the Sukuk Wakalah may fluctuate due to numerous factors,
including the prevailing profit rates, the market price for similar securities, the
operating results and/or financial conditions of the Issuer and TMS Group, political,
economic, financial, government’s policies and regulations, monetary and fiscal
issues and any other factors that can affect the capital markets, the Issuer and TMS
Group in general. Adverse economic developments could have a material adverse
effect on the market value of the Sukuk Wakalah.
The Sukukholders may suffer unforeseen losses due to fluctuations in interest rates.
Although the Sukuk Wakalah are Islamic securities which do not pay interest, it is
similar to a fixed income securities and may therefore see their price fluctuate due to
fluctuations in interest rates. Generally, a rise in interest rates may cause a fall in
bond/sukuk prices. The Sukuk Wakalah may be similarly affected, resulting in a
capital loss for the Sukukholders. Conversely, when interest rates fall, bond/sukuk
prices and the prices at which the Sukuk Wakalah are traded may rise. The
Sukukholders may enjoy a capital gain but the profit received may be reinvested for
lower returns.
The Sukukholders may suffer erosion on the return of their investments due to
inflation. The Sukukholders would have an anticipated rate of return based on
expected inflation rates on the purchase of the Sukuk Wakalah. An unexpected
increase in inflation could reduce the real rate of return to the Sukukholders.
170
6.2.9 Suitability of investment
The Sukuk Wakalah issued under the Sukuk Wakalah Programmes may not be a
suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Sukuk Wakalah
must determine the suitability of the investment in light of its own circumstances.
(b) have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in
the context of its particular financial situation, an investment in the Sukuk
Wakalah and the impact the Sukuk Wakalah will have on its overall
investment portfolio;
(c) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an
investment in the Sukuk Wakalah;
(d) understand thoroughly the terms of the Sukuk Wakalah and be familiar with
the behaviour of any relevant indices and financial markets; and
(e) be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser)
possible scenarios for economic and other factors that may affect its
investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
The Shariah Adviser has issued its Shariah pronouncement confirming amongst
others that, the transaction and structure of the Sukuk Wakalah IMTN and the Sukuk
Wakalah ICP are Shariah-compliant as of the date of such pronouncement. However,
there is no assurance that the Sukuk Wakalah will be considered as Shariah-
compliant by any other Shariah board or Shariah scholar as the Shariah
pronouncement is only an expression of the view of the Shariah Adviser. Potential
investors should obtain their own independent Shariah advice and make their own
determination as to whether the structure and the future tradability of the Sukuk
Wakalah IMTN and the Sukuk Wakalah ICP in any secondary market meet their
individual standards of Shariah compliance. No assurance is given that the
confirmation of the Shariah Adviser will not be subject to challenge on grounds that
the IMTN Programme and the ICP Programme are not Shariah compliant.
171
6.3 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations of the TMS
Group may be affected by political, economic, social developments and regulatory
conditions in Malaysia. Political, economic, social and regulatory uncertainties, which
are beyond the control of the TMS Group includes but are not limited to events, such
as the change of the government, change in state government ruling party, changes
in government policies, changes in economic conditions, or risks of war, terrorism,
riots, nationalism expropriation and renegotiations or nullification of existing
contracts, introduction of new regulations, changes in inflation, interest rates,
methods of taxation and currency exchange controls.
Investors should note that the TMS Group will always strive to continue to take
effective measures such as prudent financial management and efficient operating
procedures to mitigate such risk. Although measures may be taken by the TMS
Group to address and/or mitigate such developments, no assurance can be given
that such measures would be sufficient or effective in ensuring that any changes to
the political, economic and regulatory conditions as stated above will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial conditions of the TMS Group.
In view of the subjective judgement and inherent uncertainties of the cash flow
projections, and due to events and circumstances which may not occur as expected,
there can be no assurance that the actual cash flow results may not be materially
different from those shown. Investors will be deemed to have read and understood
the descriptions of the assumptions and uncertainties underlying the cash flow
projections contained herein.
Prospective investors should and are expected to undertake their own independent
analysis and associated due diligence to determine the viability of the assumptions of
the cash flow projections summarised in Appendix 2 of this Information
Memorandum.
The structure of the transaction of the IMTN Programme and the ICP Programme are
based on Malaysian law, tax and administrative practices in effect as at the date of
this Information Memorandum and having due regard to the expected tax treatment
of all relevant statutes under such law and practices. No assurance can be given that
the Malaysian laws, tax or administrative practices will not change after the date
hereof or that such change will not adversely impact the structure of the transaction
and the treatment of the IMTN Programme and the ICP Programme.

6.3.4 Forward looking statement
173
SECTION 7 ECONOMY AND INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The information below is included for information purposes only and has not been
independently verified by the Lead Arranger/ Lead Manager. All data and information below
have been obtained from publicly available official sources of Malaysia. Neither the Issuer,
any one of the Lead Arranger/ Lead Manager nor any other party will be held responsible for
any information contained herein.
7.1.1 Overview
The Malaysian economy expanded at a slower pace of 4.5% in the second quarter of
2018 (1Q 2018: 5.4%). Growth was slower on account of supply disruptions in the
mining sector and lower agriculture production. The latter is due to supply constraints
and adverse weather conditions. On the demand side, growth was dampened by
lower public investment and net export growth. Private sector spending remained
resilient, expanding further by 7.5% (1Q 2018: 5.2%). In particular, private
consumption increased strongly by 8.0% (1Q 2018: 6.9%). On a quarter-on-quarter
seasonally-adjusted basis, the economy grew by 0.3% (1Q 2018: 1.4%).
Domestic demand recorded a stronger growth of 5.6% (1Q 2018: 4.1%), as the
higher private sector activity (7.5%; 1Q 2018: 5.2%) more than offset the decline in
public sector spending (-1.4%; 1Q 2018: -0.1%).
Private consumption expanded at a stronger pace of 8.0% (1Q 2018: 6.9%), the
highest since the first quarter of 2015. This was driven by continued strength in
income and employment. Consumer spending was also boosted by the lower inflation
during the quarter following the zerorisation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST)
rate1 and stronger consumer sentiments.
Private investment growth was higher at 6.1% (1Q 2018: 0.5%), driven mainly by
capital spending in the manufacturing and services sectors. The better performance
was supported by positive business sentiments, favourable demand conditions and
continued high capacity utilisation during the quarter.
Public consumption registered a higher growth of 3.1% (1Q 2018: 0.4%), supported
by improvement in supplies and services and sustained growth in emoluments.
Public investment continued to contract during the quarter (-9.8%; 1Q 2018: -1.0%).
This was in part due to the near completion of ongoing projects and lower Federal
Government development expenditure.
1
The reduction in the GST rate from 6% to 0% beginning 1 June 2018.
174
Growth in gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) improved to 2.2% (1Q 2018: 0.1%),
attributed to higher private sector investment activity. By type of assets, capital
spending on machinery and equipment rebounded to 3.6% (1Q 2018: -3.6%).
Investment in structures expanded at a slower pace of 2.1% (1Q 2018: 2.8%), due
mainly to a slower expansion in investments in non-residential property such as office
and retail space. Investment in other types of assets contracted by 2.9% (1Q 2018: -
0.2%).
Growth in the mining sector contracted, due mainly to declining natural gas output
following unplanned supply outages. The agriculture sector’s growth declined as the
oil palm sub-sector was affected by production constraints and adverse weather
conditions.
Growth in the services sector was sustained during the quarter, driven primarily by
the wholesale and retail trade sub-sector arising from increased household spending
following the zerorisation of the GST rate. Growth was further supported by the
information and communication sub-sector, following continued strong demand for
data communication services. Growth in the finance and insurance sub-sector was
driven by continued strength in lending activity.
Growth in the construction sector continued to moderate in the second quarter. In the
civil engineering sub-sector, growth was supported by the ongoing transportation,
petrochemical and power plant projects. In the residential and non-residential sub-
sectors, growth continued to decline. The development partly reflected the significant
number of unsold residential properties and oversupply of office spaces and
shopping complexes.
Lower inflation during the second quarter of 2018 mainly reflected the
zerorisation of the GST rate
The lower inflation outcome mainly reflected the zerorisation of the GST rate. As a
result, inflation declined to 0.8% in June (May: 1.8%, April: 1.4%). The decline in
prices was broad-based where more than 90% of the items that were previously
taxed at the standard-rate under the GST were observed to register price declines
ranging between 0.06% and 6.75%. As a result, the percentage of items in the CPI
basket that registered inflation of more than 2% declined to 18% in the second
quarter (1Q 2018: 28%). However, the extent of price decline in June was smaller
than anticipated. Prices of standard-rated items in the CPI basket only declined by an
average of 2.3%.
175
The impact from the GST zerorisation, however, was offset by higher transport
inflation. While the domestic RON95 petrol price was maintained at RM2.20 per litre
since 22 March 2018, the lower prices in the base period of the second quarter of
2017 resulted in higher inflation in the transport category2. Nevertheless, the fixed
RON95 petrol price has helped to contain further increases in fuel inflation during the
quarter.
Core inflation, excluding the impact of the GST zerorisation, also moderated during
the quarter to 1.5% (1Q 2018: 1.9%). This was mainly due to lower inflation in the
food away from home sub-category, contributed by the stronger ringgit exchange rate
in the first half of 2018 relative to the second half of 2017. Demand-driven inflation
remained stable.
In the financial sector3, there was a net employment gain of 1,412 jobs to 165,628
employed persons (1Q 2018: 164,216 persons). This mainly reflected the increase in
high-skilled occupations (+ 1,762 persons).
Private sector wage growth moderated to 5.7% (1Q 2018: 6.6%). Manufacturing
wage growth moderated to 10.1% from a strong growth of 13.9% in the first quarter of
2018. On the other hand, the services sector recorded an improvement of 3.7% (1Q
2018: 3.5%) in wage growth, supported by the wholesale and retail trade, and
professional services sub-sectors.
In the second quarter of 2018, gross exports expanded at a faster pace of 8.2% (1Q
2018: 5.8%), supported mainly by re-export activity which grew by 53.5% (1Q 2018:
42.3%). Domestic exports5 turned around to register a positive growth of 0.2% (1Q
2018: -0.7%). The trade surplus remained healthy, albeit narrower at RM27.2 billion
(1Q 2018: RM33.4 billion).
Gross exports was supported by continued demand from major trading partners,
particularly the region. Manufactured exports registered a double-digit growth of
10.6% (1Q 2018: 8.2%). Semiconductor exports continued to record robust growth of
21.0% (1Q 2018: 29.6%), in tandem with continued expansion in the global
technology cycle as reflected in the double-digit growth of global semiconductor
sales. Both resource and non-resource based manufactured exports registered a
faster pace of growth, driven mainly by chemicals and chemical products, petroleum
products and manufactures of metal. Commodity exports recorded a smaller
contraction, as the continued decline in crude palm oil, LNG and rubber exports were
partially offset by higher crude petroleum export volumes and prices.

RON95 petrol price averaged RM2.10 per litre in the second quarter of 2017.

Covers only the banking institutions, development financial institutions, insurance companies and takaful operators. The
information is obtained from an establishment survey conducted by Bank Negara Malaysia.
176
Gross imports rebounded to register a positive growth of 7.7% during the quarter (1Q
2018: -0.8%), underpinned by robust re-export activity and recovery in capital
imports. Imports for re-exports was driven by the E&E segment. Capital imports
turned around following stronger domestic investment activity and dissipation of high
base effect in transport equipment segment in the first quarter of 2017. Intermediate
imports, however, continued to decline, albeit at a slower pace in tandem with
subdued exports of domestically-produced manufactured goods.
The current account surplus narrowed to RM3.9 billion in the second quarter of 2018
(1Q 2018: RM15.0 billion), or 1.2% of GNI (1Q 2018: 4.5% of GNI), due to a lower
goods surplus4 and higher deficits in the services and primary income accounts.
As the rebound in imports outpaced the increase in exports, the goods surplus
narrowed to RM26.1 billion (1Q 2018: RM35.7 billion). In the services account, the
deficit widened to RM6.2 billion (1Q 2018: -RM5.8 billion), owing mainly to higher net
payments to foreign providers in the construction and transportation services
segments.
The primary income account deficit widened to RM11.2 billion (1Q 2018: -RM10.2
billion), largely attributable to higher dividends earned by foreign portfolio investors in
publicly-listed firms amid broadly sustained profits earned by MNCs investing in the
domestic economy. The secondary income account recorded a sustained deficit of
RM4.7 billion (1Q 2018: -RM4.7 billion), reflecting continued outward remittances by
foreign workers.
In the second quarter of 2018, the financial account registered a lower net inflow of
RM9.2 billion (1Q 2018: net inflow of RM15.2 billion). Higher placements of currency
and deposits with domestic financial institutions were partly offset by large outflows of
non-resident portfolio investments.
The direct investment account registered a marginal net outflow of RM0.7 billion (1Q
2018: net inflow of RM10.7 billion). During the quarter, foreign direct investments
(FDI) registered a lower net inflow of RM2.8 billion (1Q 2018: net inflow of RM12.0
billion), on account of lower retained earnings and some liquidation of foreign equity
holdings in firms in the manufacturing sector, following acquisition by residents. FDI
inflows were mainly channelled into the services sector, particularly the real estate
and wholesale and retail trade sub-sectors, followed by the mining sector. Direct
investments abroad (DIA) by Malaysian companies recorded a higher net outflow of
RM3.6 billion (1Q 2018: net outflow of RM1.3 billion), mainly in the form of equity
capital injection and reinvestment of earnings in subsidiaries abroad. DIA outflows
were channelled mainly into the services sector, particularly the financial services
sub-sector, followed by the mining sector.
4
The difference between the goods surplus and trade surplus may arise from the exclusion of goods for processing, storage
and distribution in the goods accounts as per the 6th Edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position
Manual (BPM6) by the IMF.
177
The portfolio investment account registered a higher net outflow of RM38.3 billion
(1Q 2018: net outflow of RM2.6 billion) attributed to non-resident outflows (2Q 2018:
net outflow of RM37.2 billion; 1Q 2018: net inflow of RM7.9 billion) and continued net
acquisition of foreign financial assets by resident domestic institutional investors, fund
managers and banks (2Q 2018: net outflow of RM1.0 billion; 1Q 2018: net outflow of
RM10.5 billion). Non-resident portfolio outflows were driven primarily by external
factors, including expectations of a faster pace of US interest rate normalisation and
further escalation of trade tensions and some concerns over domestic policy
uncertainties.
The other investment account recorded a higher net inflow of RM48.4 billion (1Q
2018: net inflow of RM6.4 billion), due mainly to placements of currency and deposits
with domestic financial institutions. Net errors and omissions amounted to -RM13.9
billion or -3.0% of total trade. The international reserves of Bank Negara Malaysia
amounted to USD104.7 billion as at end-June 2018, compared to USD107.8 billion
as at end-March 2018.
Malaysia’s external debt remains manageable given its currency and maturity
profiles, and the availability of large external assets. Close to one-third of total
external debt is denominated in ringgit (31.2%; end-March: 34.8%), mainly in the
form of NR holdings of domestic debt securities and in ringgit deposits in domestic
banking institutions. As such, these liabilities are not subjected to valuation changes
from the fluctuations in the ringgit exchange rate.
The remaining external debt of RM644.3 billion or 68.8% of total external debt (44.5%
of GDP) is denominated in foreign currency (FC) and is subject to prudential liquidity
management practices and hedging requirements on banking institutions and
corporations. The bulk of these obligations are offshore borrowings, raised mainly to
expand productive capacity and to better manage financial resources within
corporate groups. As at end-June 2018, offshore borrowing stood at 40.5% of GDP
(end-March: 35.8%), much lower compared to 60% of GDP during the Asian
Financial Crisis in 1997-98.
Of the total FC-denominated external debt (inclusive of valuation effects), 39.3% (or
amounting to RM253.0 billion) is accounted for by interbank borrowing and FC
deposits in the domestic banking system. This largely reflects banks’ intragroup
liquidity management and placements of deposits from foreign parent entities. In
addition, during the quarter, several banks strengthened their FC liquidity buffers in
anticipation of potential withdrawal and maturities of foreign currency deposits, as
well as expectations of tighter and volatile conditions in the foreign exchange market.
Banks’ funding and liquidity risks continue to be proactively managed via robust
internal controls and policies, including internal limits on (i) interbank borrowings, (ii)
foreign currency funding and liquidity positions and (iii) foreign exchange market risk
exposures. Foreign-currency risk, measured in net open position of foreign currency
denominated exposures is stable at 5.2% of banks’ total capital.
178
Long-term bonds and notes issued offshore amounted to RM144.8 billion as at end-
June 2018, and is channelled primarily to finance asset acquisitions abroad that will
generate future income. The intercompany loans are typically on flexible and
concessionary terms, such as no fixed repayment schedule or low interest rate.
From a maturity perspective, more than half of the total external debt is skewed
towards medium- to long-term tenure (52.0% of total external debt; end-March:
55.5%), suggesting limited rollover risks.
Reserves is not the only means to meet external obligations. The progressive
liberalisation of foreign exchange administration rules has resulted in greater
decentralisation of reserves. This is reflected in the increasing acquisition of assets
abroad by residents and corporations. In particular, banks and corporations hold
three-quarters of Malaysia’s external assets (as at end-2Q 2018: RM1.3 trillion),
which can also be drawn down to meet their external debt obligations (RM740.9
billion), without creating a claim on international reserves. The adequate level of
international reserves, together with the availability of substantial external assets by
banks and corporations, and a flexible exchange rate, will continue to serve as
important buffers against potential external shocks.
The global economy is expected to expand 3.7% in 2018 (2017: 3.6%). The
advanced economies are projected to register growth of 2% (2017: 2.2%), supported
by strong domestic and external demand. In the emerging market and developing
economies, GDP is expected to improve 4.9% (2017: 4.6%), mainly supported by
higher global demand and rising market confidence, particularly in China, India and
ASEAN. However, the global economy will still face some downside risks due to
policy uncertainties in the major economies, rising protectionism, geopolitical
tensions, the effects of climate change, and volatility in the financial markets.
The Malaysian economy will remain resilient in 2018, with real GDP expanding
between 5% and 5.5%, led by domestic demand. Private sector expenditure
continues to be the primary driver of growth with private investment and consumption
growing 8.9% and 6.8%, respectively. Meanwhile, public sector expenditure is
forecast to decline, in line with lower capital outlays by public corporations. On the
supply side, growth is expected to be broad-based, with all sectors registering
positive growth. Malaysia’s external position is forecast to remain favourable
supported by global growth and trade. Against the backdrop, the nominal GNI per
capita is expected to increase 5.1% from RM40,713 in 2017 to RM42,777 in 2018.
With investment growing at a faster pace, the savings-investment gap will narrow to
2.3% of GNI. The economy will continue to operate under conditions of full
employment with an unemployment rate of below 4%, while inflation remains benign.
179
In line with fiscal consolidation efforts, the fiscal deficit will further decline to 2.8% of
GDP in 2018. (2017: 3%). Accordingly, the Federal Government debt remains
sustainable within the prudent limit of 55% of GDP. These developments will further
strengthen the nation’s economic fundamentals and resilience to further propel the
country towards the milestones of an advanced and high-income nation by 2020,
doubling the size of the economy to RM2 trillion in 2025 and joining the ranks of top
20 countries by 2050.
The MCMC was created pursuant to the CMA as a new regulator for the
communications and multimedia industry in Malaysia. At the same time, the CMA
was passed, to fulfill the need to regulate an increasingly convergent communications
and multimedia industry.
The CMA seeks to provide a generic set of regulatory provisions based on generic
definitions of market and service activities and services. The jurisdiction of this Act is
restricted to networked services and activities only.
(Source: https://www.mcmc.gov.my/legal/acts)
(a) Network Facilities Provider (NFP) – who are the owners/providers of network
facilities, namely infrastructure such as, cables, towers, satellite earth
stations, broadband fibre optic cables, telecommunications lines and
exchanges, radiocommunications transmission equipment, mobile
communications base stations and broadcasting transmission towers and
equipment. These represent the fundamental building blocks of the
convergence model upon which network, applications and content services
are provided.
(b) Network Services Providers (NSP) - who provide the basic connectivity and
bandwidth to support a variety of applications. Network services enable
connectivity or transport between different networks. A network service
provider usually owns or deploys the said network facilities. However, a
licensee providing connectivity services may use the network facilities owned
by another licensee.
(c) Application Service Providers (ASP) – who provide particular functions such
as voice services, data services, Internet access and electronic commerce.
Applications services are essentially the functions or capabilities; which are
delivered to end-users. These are retail services.
180
(d) Content Application Service Providers (CASP) – who these represent a
special subset of applications service providers such as television and radio
broadcast services, and services such as online publishing (currently exempt
from licensing requirements) and the provisioning of information services.
The C&M industry market capitalisation increased 8.5% to RM183.99 billion in 2017
from RM169.56 billion in 2016. This is in line with overall market upward trend as
sentiment improved amid encouraging economic factors including recovering Ringgit
and stronger crude oil prices.
The C&M industry market capitalisation represents 9.6% of Bursa Malaysia total
market capitalisation of RM1,906.84 billion. It represents 75% of the ICT (information
and communication technology) companies market capitalisation at RM245 billion on
Bursa Malaysia.
In terms of revenue, the C&M industry has recorded 5.2% growth to RM68.41 billion
in 2017 from RM65.02 billion in 2016. Specifically, by mainly domestic industry
revenue, the growth is 1.2% to RM50.67 billion in 2017 compared with RM50.07
billion in 2016.
In 2017, total dividend payment by major public listed C&M companies declined 4.1%
to RM5.43 billion compared with RM5.66 billion in 2016. Specifically, the
telecommunications sector dividend payout was at RM4.69 billion, 3.1% less
compared with the previous year. This reflected lower profitability and strategy to
retain earnings for investments and expansion to meet new technological
developments going forward.
181
Connectivity enabling digital services
The population coverage for 3G and 4G LTE recorded 93.6% and 77.2% respectively
in 2017. The improved coverage and connectivity has led to new value creations,
giving consumers greater mobility, convenience and digital experiences.
Fibre broadband has finally overtaken ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) as
the most popular means of broadband Internet access. The total number of fixed
broadband subscriptions have reached 2.59 million in 2017. This is represented by a
4% growth or 250,000 subscriptions in fibre broadband. The growth is mainly driven
by continuous High Speed Broadband initiatives such as High Speed Broadband
Phase 1 (HSBB1), High Speed Broadband Phase 2 (HSBB2) and Suburban High
Speed Project (SUBB). In addition, doubling the speed of fixed broadband in
conjunction with Government’s announcement during Budget 2017 also contributed
to the fibre broadband take up rate.
The local major mobile service providers have nearly equal market shares in terms of
mobile cellular subscriptions. Maxis, Digi and Celcom have lost some market share to
U Mobile and MVN service providers. U Mobile has managed to increase its market
share to 14% in 2017 from 12% in 2016. The remainder is from MVN service
providers with market share increased by 1% to 11% or 4.79 million subscriptions in
2017 compared with 10% in 2016.

(Incorporated in Malaysia)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Touch Mobile Sdn. Bhd., which comprise the
statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, and the statement of profit or
loss, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows of the Company for the
year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies, as set out on pages 11 to 21.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the
financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2017, and of their financial
perfol1llance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Malaysian
Private Entities Repoliing Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 2016 in
Malaysia.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional
Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants ("By-Laws") and

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors' Report TheI'eon
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the other infonnation. The other
infomlation comprises the Directors' Repoli but does not include the financial statements
of the Company and our auditors' repoli thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements of the Company does not cover the Directors'
RepOli and we do not express any fonn of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Company, our
responsibility is to read the Directors' RepOli and, in doing so, consider whether the
Directors' Report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements of the Company
or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have perfonned, we have nothing to repOli in this regard.
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements
of the Company that give a tme and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Private
Entities Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 2016 in
Malaysia. The Directors are also responsible for such intemal control as the Directors
detennine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Company
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fi'aud or eITOr.
In preparing the financial statements of the Company, the Directors are responsible for
assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
the Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
of the Company as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a
high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fi'aud
or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economy decisions of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.

procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from £i'aud is higher than for one resulting £i'om

misrepresentations, or the ovelTide of internal control.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors' use of the going concern basis
of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the Company's ability to continue as a going concem. If we conclude that a
material unceliainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors'
repoli to the related disclosures in the financial statements of the Company or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based
on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' repOti. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a

of the Company, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements
of the Company represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.

value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Financial
assets and financial liabilities are measured subsequently as described below.

All financial assets except for those at fair value through profit or loss are subject to
review for impainnent at least at each end of the reporting year. Financial assets are
impaired when there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of
financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to detennine impainnent are applied
for each category of financial assets.
A financial asset or pati of it is derecognised when, and only when the contractual
rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is
transferred to another patiy without retaining control or substantially all risks and
rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between
the catTying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new

Income tax on the profit for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable
profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the

the provisions of prevailing revenue legislation.
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method for all temporary differences
between the calTying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases at the
balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary
differences. DefelTed tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable
that nlture taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. DefClTed tax

goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability
in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the
transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply to the period when the assets are realised or the liabilities are settled. The

reduced to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient future taxable profit
will be available.

Statutory declaration
pursuant to Section 251(1)(b) of the Companies Act, 2016
I, DATO' AZMAN BIN OMAR, (IIC No.:640608-71-5027), being the Officer primarily
responsible for the financial management of TOUCH MINDS CAPE SDN. BHD., do
solemnly and sincerely declare that the accompanying financial statements set out on
pages 12 to 43 are in my opinion correct, and I make this solemn declaration
conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the provisions of the
Statutory Declarations Act, 1960.
Commissioner fo
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Touch Mindscape Sdn. Bhd., which
comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 20] 7, and the statement
of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for
the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies, as set out on pages 12 to 43.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the
financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2017, and of its
financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
Malaysian Private Entities Reporting Standard and the requirements of the Companies
Act, 2016 in Malaysia.
We are independent of the Group and of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws
(on Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants
("By-Laws") and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of
Ethics for Professional Accountants ("IESBA Code"), and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the TESBA Code
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors 3 Report Thereon
The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the Directors' Report but does not include the financial statements
of the Company and our auditors' repoli thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover
the Directors' Report and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company, our Directors' Report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements
of the Group and of the Company or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we have nothing to report in this regard.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements
of the Group and of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with
Malaysian Private Entities Reporting Standard and the requirements of the Companies
Act, 2016 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the
directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the
Group and of the Company that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, the directors are
responsible for assessing the Group and the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group and
the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
of the Group and of the Company as a whole are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and
International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (cont' d)
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements
of the Group and of the Company, whether due to fraud or error, design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis
of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors'
report to the related disclosures in the financial statements of the Company or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based
on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements
of the Group and of the Company, including the disclosures, and whether the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope

Page 22
Company No.: 743499-T
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment loss, if any.
The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each
balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. An
impairment loss is recognized as an expense in the income statement.
The towers constructed under the project management is amortised from the date of
completion of construction up to the year pursuant to the term and conditions of the
Project Management Agreement.
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method in order to write off the cost of
each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life. Depreciation of an
asset does not cease when the assets becomes idle or is retired from active use
unless the asset is fully depreciated.
Upon disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between
the net disposal proceeds and the net carrying amount is recognized in the income

directly to retained profits.

Company No.: 743499-T
Asset financed by lease agreements that transfer substantially the risks and the right
of ownership (finance lease) are capitalized as if they had been purchased outright
at values equivalent to the present value of the total rental payable during the
periods of the leases and the corresponding lease commitments are included under
liabilities. The excess of the lease payments over the recorded lease obligations is
treated as lease finance charges, which are amortised over each lease term to give a
constant rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligation.
These assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives in accordance with the
depreciation policy of the Company.
All other leases are classified as operating lease and the lease rentals are recognised
as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease
periods.
The carrying amounts of assets, other than inventories, assets ansmg from
construction contracts, deferred tax assets and financial assets (other than
investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entity) are reviewed
for impairment when there is an indication that the assets might be impaired.
Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their
recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's net selling
price and its value in use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash
flows. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual asset, or if it is not
possible, for the cash-generating unit.

3.10 Deferred Taxation
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method for all temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases at the
balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary
differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable
that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised on temporary differences
arising from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an
asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time
of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to

reduced to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient future taxable profit
will be available.
Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except when it arises from a

Before me:-
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Touch Matrix Sdn. Bhd., which comprise the
statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017 of the Group and of the Company,
and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of
cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then ended, and notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as set out on
pages 12 to 37.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the
financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2017, and of their
financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
Malaysian Private Entities Reporting Standard and the requirements of the Companies Act,
2016 in Malaysia.
We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and
International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further
described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section
of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional
Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants ("By-Laws") and the
International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants ("IESBA Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the Directors' Report but does not include the financial statements of
the Company and our auditors' report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover the
Directors' Report and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the fInancial statements of the Group and of the Company,
our responsibility is to read the Directors' Report and, in doing so, consider whether the
Directors' Report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements of the Group and of
the Company or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
If: based on the work we have performed, we have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of
the Group and of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian
Private Entities Reporting Standard and the requirements of the Companies Act, 2016 in
Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the directors
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of
the Company that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the fInancial statements of the Group and of the Company, the directors are
responsible for assessing the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group and the
Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of
the Group and of the Company as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fhud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with approved standards on aUditing in Malaysia and International Standards on
Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to inf1uence the economy decisions of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (cont'd)
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of
the Company, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's
and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to
the related disclosures in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. I-Iowever,
future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of
the Company, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the
Group and of the Company represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any signifIcant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.

The currency expressed in the financial statements is in Ringgit Malaysia and the
amounts are expressed in units of Ringgit.
3. Accounting policies
3.1 Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared under
the historical cost convention and on a going concern basis unless otherwise
indicated.
The Group financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company
and the subsidiary company listed under Note 11 made up to the end of the year.
The results of subsidiary acquired during the year are included from the date of
acquisition. Intra-group transaction and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
Page 19
No.: 624277-D
The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from
equity, net of tax. Equity transaction costs comprise only those incremental external
costs directly attributable to the equity transaction which would otherwise have been
avoided.
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with
the transaction will flow to the enterprise and the amount of revenue can be measured
reliably.
Construction contracts
Revenue from construction contracts is accounted for by the stage of completion
method as described in Note 3.8.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on accrual basis using the effective interest method.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment loss, if any.
The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each balance
sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. An impairment
loss is recognized as an expense in the income statement.
Page 20
Company No.: 624277-D
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method in order to write off the cost of
each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life. Depreciation of an asset
does not cease when the assets becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the
asset is fully depreciated.
Upon disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the net carrying amount is recognized in the income
statement and the revaluation reserve related to those assets, if any, is transferred
directly to retained profits.
3.7 Leases
Assets acquired by the way of hire purchase or finance leases are stated at an amount
equal to the lower of their fair values and the present value of the minimum lease
payments at the inception of the leases, less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses. The corresponding liability is included in the balance sheet as borrowings. In
calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments, the discount factor used
in the interest rate implicit in the lease, when it is practicable to determine; otherwise,
the Company's incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct costs are also
added to the carrying amount of such assets.
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance costs and reduction of the
outstanding liability. Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total
leasing commitments and the fair value of the assets acquired, are recognised in the
profit or loss over the term of the relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic
rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period.
The depreciation policy for leased assets is in accordance with that for depreciable
property, plant and equipment as described in Note 3.6.
Page 21
Company No.:
When it is probable that the total contract will exceed total contract revenue, the
expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
When the total of costs incurred on construction contracts plus, recognised profit (less
recognised losses), exceeds progress billings, the balance is classified as amount due
from customers on contracts. When progress billings exceeds costs incurred plus,
recognised profits (less recognised losses), the balance is classified as amount due to
customers on contracts.
The carrying amounts of assets, other than inventories, assets ansmg from
construction contracts, deferred tax assets and financial assets (other than investments
in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entity) are reviewed for impairment
when there is an indieation that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is measured
by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. The
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's net selling price and its value in use,
which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flows. Recoverable amounts
are estimated for individual asset, or if it is not possible, for the cash-generating unit.

financial instrument not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that
are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument.
Financial assets

for trading, including derivatives (expect for a derivative that is designated and
effeetive hedging instrument) or financial assets that are specifically designated

those categorised as fair value through profit or loss.

held for trading, derivatives (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee
contract or a designed and effective hedging instrument) or financial liabilities
that are specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition.

instruments whose fair values cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost.
(iii) Derecognition
3.11 Taxation

Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable
profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the

from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or
liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the
transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply to the period when the assets are realised or the liabilities are settled. The
carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is
reduced to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient future taxable profit will
be available.
Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except when it arises from a
transaction which is recognised directly in equity. In this case the deferred tax is
charged or credited directly in equity. When the deferred tax arises from a business
combination that is an acquisition, it is in included in the resulting goodwill or
negative goodwill.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and cash in hand including bank
overdraft.
Wages, salaries 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 of
the Company. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual
leave are recognised when employees render services that increase their entitlement to
future compensated absences. Non-accumulating compensated absences, such as sick
and medical leaves are recognised when the absences occur.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors' Report Thereon
(cont'd)
In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Company, our
responsibility is to read the Directors' Report and, in doing so, consider whether the
Directors' Report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements of the Company
or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If: based on the work we havc performed, we have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of thc Directors for the Financial Statemcnts
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements
of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Private
Entities Reporting Standard and the requirements of the Companies Act, 2016 in
Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the directors
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Company
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements of the Company, the directors are responsible for
assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
of the Company as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a
high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud
or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.

(Incorporated in Malaysia)
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements
of the Company, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit
procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis
of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors'
report to the related disclosures in the financial statements of the Company or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based
on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a
gomg concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements
of the Company, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements
of the Company represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

2. Basis of preparation
2.1 Compliance
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
the Malaysia Private Entities Reporting Standard and the requirements of the
Companies Act, 2016.
The currency expressed in the financial statements is in Ringgit Malaysia and the
amounts are expressed in Ringgit.
3. Accounting policies
3.1 Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared under the historical
cost convention and on a going concern basis unless otherwise indicated.
Other revenues earned by the Company are recognised on the following bases:-
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment loss, if any.
The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each
balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. An
impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement.
The towers constructed under the project management is amortised from the date of
completion of construction up to the year pursuant to the term and conditions of the
Project Management Agreement.
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method in order to write off the cost of
each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life. Depreciation of an
asset does not cease when the assets becomes idle or is retired from active use
unless the asset is fully depreciated.
Page 18
Company No.: 368852 - V
Upon disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between
the net disposal proceeds and the net carrying amount is recognised in the income
statement and the revaluation reserve related to those assets, if any, is transferred
directly to retained profits.
Capital work in progress are not depreciated as these assets are not available for
use. When Capital work in progress is completed and the Asset is available for use,
it is reclassified to the relevant category of property and equipment and depreciation
of the asset begins
Asset financed by lease agreements that transfer substantially the risks and the right
of ownership (finance lease) are capitalised as if they had been purchased outright
at values equivalent to the present value of the total rental payable during the
periods of the leases and the corresponding lease commitments are included under
liabilities. The excess of the lease payments over the recorded lease obligations is
treated as lease finance charges, which are amortised over each lease term to give a
constant rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligation.
These assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives in accordance with the
depreciation policy of the Company.
All other leases are classified as operating lease and the lease rentals are recognised
as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease
periods.
The carrying amounts of assets, other than inventories, assets ansmg from
construction contracts, deferred tax assets and financial assets (other than
investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entity) are reviewed
for impairment when there is an indication that the assets might be impaired.
Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their
recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's net selling
price and its value in use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash
flows. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual asset, or if it is not
possible, for the cash-generating unit.
Page 19
Company No.: 368852 - V
Capital work in progress arising from project management are stated at cost. Costs
include all direct expenditure and related overheads incurred.
3.7 Taxation
Income tax on the profit for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable
profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the
balance sheet date.
Taxable profit is the profit for a period adjusted for tax purposes in accordance with
the provisions of prevailing revenue legislation.
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method for all temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases at the
balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary
differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable
that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.
Page 20
Company No.: 368852 - V
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised on temporary differences
arising from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an
asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time
of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply to the period when the assets are realised or the liabilities are settled. The
carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each reporting date and is
reduced to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient future taxable profit
will be available.
Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except when it arises from a
transaction which is recognised directly in equity. In this case the deferred tax is
charged or credited directly in equity. When the deferred tax arises from a business
combination that is an acquisition, it is in included in the resulting goodwill or
negative goodwill.
