Revenue

 

Our revenue is driven in part by our ability to offer market-leading service offerings to add value to clients. We derive our revenues substantially from our business and technology consultancy service offerings and solutions that we deliver to our clients. Each contract has different terms based on the scope, deliverables, timing and complexity of the engagement.

 

Depending on the terms of the service engagement contract, our revenues are derived from a few principal types of billing arrangements as explained below:

 

Business Consultancy

 

Retainer Engagements

 

In our retainer based engagements, the client is billed according to the predetermined fees and billing period. The retainer fee is determined based on amongst others, the value, complexity and scale of the engagement. Throughout the period of the retainer engagement, we provide clients with holistic business or technology consulting services. It is the client’s expectation in these engagements that the pre-established fee will not be exceeded except in mutually agreed upon circumstances.

 

Performance-based Fees

 

In performance-based billing arrangements, we agree to a pre-established fee in exchange for a predetermined set of professional services. Generally, the client agrees to pay a fixed fee over the specified services engaged. We set the fees based on our estimates of the complexity, scale, costs and the time it would take to complete the engagements.

 

Success Fees

 

Similar to performance-based fees, success fees engagements generally tie fees to the attainment of contractually defined objectives or upon the closing of a project. We agree to a pre-established fee in exchange for a predetermined milestone. Success fee revenues may cause variations in our revenues and operating results due to the timing of achieving the criteria. Generally, success fee is either attained in the form of cash or shares in our clients’ companies. The latter opens the door for our clients and us to capitalize on forward-looking opportunities, to grow and to thrive together.

Technology Consultancy

 

Software is key to business efficiency as the right software solutions make a world of difference in the day-to-day business operations. Our aim is to optimise businesses’ operations with the right, cost-effective software solutions that improve business efficiency and productivity while reducing operating costs and saving time.

 

Consulting Fees

 

Clients are billed according to a predetermined consulting fee for a period of engagement. The consulting fee is determined based on amongst others the value, complexity, applicable programme, required IT professionals and skills, and the scale of the engagement. Throughout the engagement, we provide clients holistic technology consulting services. The right software solutions add value to business practices, and we achieve that by identifying and understanding the kinds of software most suited to the size, needs, and requirements of the client’s business and industry.

 

Development Fees

 

In our Technology segment, certain clients are billed based on the proprietary software developed in accordance with the requirements of the clients. We provide bespoke and customized programmes, software, and website development tailored to the needs of the clients’ business in facilitating the adoption and integration of technology to boost their business performance.

 

White Label Technology Fees

 

Our revenue under the technology segment also stems from providing white label technology whereby we purchase ready-made licensed software products and thereafter execute our rebranding and develop white label software that meets our clients’ needs. Apart from that, according to our clients’ requirements, we provide customization services on ready-made software.

 

Software as a Service (SaaS)

 

Moving forward, we have plans to expand our revenue model by adding SaaS via the development of a software licensing and delivery model in which software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted.

Fair value adjustment on financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

 

Fair value adjustment on financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is no longer needed for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as we have disposed all the financial assets measured at FVTOCI. In the same year, we share-swap 500 share of GlobexUS Holding Corp which is recognized in FVTOCI.   

 

Outstanding equity investments measured at FVTOCI are remeasured to an updated fair value at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded to “Financial assets measured at FVTOCI” in the consolidated statement of financial position and to “Fair value adjustment on financial assets measured at FVTOCI” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. See “Note 4 – Financial assets measured at FVTOCI” in “Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements” in exhibit 99.2 of this Form 6-K for a description of how the fair value of the equity investments are determined.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We monitor our liquidity risk and maintain a level of cash and cash equivalents, deemed adequate by management to finance our operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. We consider cash from operating activities as the principal source of cash generation for our business. Cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately RM13.6 million to RM15 million ($3.3 million) as of June 30, 2023 compared to RM1.7 million as of June 30, 2022. As of the date of this filing, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents of RM15 million as of June 30, 2023 along with other actions the Company is taking are sufficient to fund ongoing operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company will seek to improve its liquidity position by potentially taking any or all of the following actions: improving collection of the outstanding trade and other receivable balances of RM56 million, as of June 30, 2023 and reducing general and administrative expenses.

Cash and equivalents at end of period   15,328,861    3,283,888    1,713,893 

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items, changes in working capital and income tax expense. The timing between the conversion of our trade receivables into cash from our customers and distributions to our employees and vendors are the primary drivers of changes to our working capital.

 

Net cash used in operating activities increased by RM16.5 million to a RM17.2 million ($3.7 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to RM642 thousand ($146 thousand) used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily due to an increase in the use of cash of RM40 million related to trade and other receivables. These increases in cash used in operating activities were offset in part by an increase of RM780 thousand in the gain of disposal of investment. We have had, and continue to experience, delays in collection of receivables which is in large part due to liquidity issues faced by our customers.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash generated by investing activities was RM13 million ($2.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to RM178 thousand ($40 thousand) used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cash generated by investing activities was mainly due to the proceed from disposal of investment in Treasure Global Inc.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash generated from financing activities was RM15.6 million ($3.3 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to RM589 thousand ($134 thousand) used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily related to RM17.4 million ($3.7 million) in proceeds from IPO.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

We have no material capital expenditures planned for the next 12 months.

 

Contractual Obligations

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

The management of the Group monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner. These risks include market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

Market risk management

 

The Group activities are exposed primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Management monitors risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchanges rates and interest rates and will consider appropriate measures should the need arise.

 

There has been no significant change to the Group’s exposure to market risk or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.

 

Foreign currency risk management

 

The Group also transacts business in foreign currencies other than its functional currencies, as further disclosed below, and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk.

 

The currency exposure of financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Group’s functional currencies are as follows:

 

   Assets   Liabilities

   December 31,

United States Dollar   4,214,016    3,226,121    467,810    6,008,843 

 

Foreign currency sensitivity

 

The following table details the sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the related foreign currencies against the functional currency (“RM”) with all the other variables held constant. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates.  The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates.

   RM   RM 
Singapore Dollar   620    630 
United States Dollar   187,310    (139,136)

 

Interest rate risk management

 

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as the Group has bank loans which are interest bearing. The interest rates and terms of repayment of the loans are disclosed in the Note to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements . The Group currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy.

 

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

 

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rate for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period.  A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

 

If interest rates on loans had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit for the year would decrease/increase by approximately RM50,000 (2022: RM55,000).

Credit risk management

 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. At the end of each reporting period, the Group maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties arises from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the Statements of Financial Position.

 

In order to minimise credit risk, the Group has delegated its finance team to develop and maintain the Group’s credit risk grading to categorise exposures according to their degree of risk of default. The finance team uses publicly available financial information and the Group’s own historical repayment records to rate its major customers and debtors. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.

 

The Group’s current credit risk grading framework comprises the following categories:

 

Category  Description  Basis for recognising ECL
Performing  The counterparty has a low risk of default and does not have any past-due amounts  12-month ECL
Doubtful  There has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition  Lifetime ECL-not credit-impaired
In default  There is evidence indicating the asset is credit impaired  Lifetime ECL - credit impaired
Write-off  There is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and the Company has no realistic prospect of recovery  Amount is written off

 

For trade receivables, the Group has applied the simplified approach allowed in the accounting standard to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL. The Group determines the ECL on these items by using a provision matrix, estimated based on historical credit loss experience based on the past default experience of the debtor, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables has been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics (including high risk, normal risk and low risk type).

 

The directors of the Company considered that the ECL for non-credit impaired trade receivables is insignificant as at the end of the reporting period.

 

Liquidity risk management

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds.

 

In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyse our cash on-hand and our operating expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet our working capital requirements and operating expenses obligations. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, equity financing, and short-term borrowing from banks and third parties.

Based on the above considerations, management is of the opinion that the Company has sufficient funds to meet its working capital requirements and debt obligations, for at least the next 12 months from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement filing date. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in their plans. There are several factors that could potentially arise that could undermine the Company’s plans, such as changes in the demand for its services, economic conditions, its operating results not continuing to deteriorate and its bank and shareholders being able to provide continued financial support.

 

The Group maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalent, and internally generated cash flows to finance their activities.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

  

The following table details the remaining contractual maturity for non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. The adjustment column represents the possible future cash flows attributable to the instrument included in the carrying amount of the financial liability on the statement of financial position.

Non-derivative financial assets 

 

As at the end of the reporting period, the non-derivative financial assets are interest free and repayable on demand.

 

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

 

The management considers that the carrying amounts of Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair values of other classes of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the respective notes to unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
