    There were no material changes to the valuation of property, plant and equipment since the financial year ended 31 December 2025.

  3. Material events subsequent to the end of the current financial quarter

    There were no items, transactions or events of a material and unusual nature from 31 December 2025 to 19 May 2026 (being the latest practicable date) that would have a substantial effect on the financial results of the Group.

  4. Changes in the composition of the Group during the financial quarter ended 31 March 2026
    1. On 12 February 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of 359,893 ordinary shares in the share capital of AVM Cloud Sdn Bhd ("AVM") from all remaining minority shareholders of AVM (the "Vendors"), for a purchase consideration of RM32,002,785 in accordance to a Sale and Purchase Agreement entered into between the Company and the Vendors dated 5 December 2025 (the "SPA"). The SPA was entered into pursuant to an option eligible for exercise by the Vendors in Quarter 1 2026 to sell their shares in AVM to the Company, as provided for in the Shareholders Agreement between AVM and its then shareholders dated 7 January 2021. Consequently, the Company's equity interest in AVM has increased from 67% to 100%, thereby rendering AVM a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

    2. On 27 March 2026, the Company participated in a capital call by its jointly controlled entity, AIMS Data Centre Holding Sdn Bhd ("AIMS"), by subscribing for 19,320 new ordinary shares for a total consideration of RM33,061,350. The subscription did not result in any change to the Company's equity interest in AIMS, which remains at 51% of the issued ordinary shares, with an effective interest of 30%.

      There were no other changes in the composition of the Group during the financial quarter ended 31 March 2026.

  7. Fair value information

    The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables reasonably approximate fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these financial instruments. Accordingly, the fair values and level of the fair value hierarchy have not been presented for these financial instruments.

    Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the input used in the valuation technique as follows:

    • Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date.

    • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the financial assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

    • Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

    The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value and financial instruments not carried at fair value for which fair value and carrying value are as disclosed.

    1. higher dividend income by RM2.9 million;

    2. lower net foreign exchange loss by RM1.2 million (Q1 2026: RM9.1 million, Q4 2025: RM10.3 million);

    3. lower depreciation and amortisation of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets by RM2.6 million;

    4. impairment of investment in associate recognised in Q4 2025 of RM32.9 million; and
