By establishing a COE that adhere to international IT security standard, this is expected to address the requirement of their overseas clients who are seeking for cost-effective IT solution, as well as for these overseas clients that do have their internal IT offices in Malaysia to accommodate their IT professionals to work in their premises. In terms of function and operational focus, the head office will continue to serve as the central administrative hub, managing various functions including administration, finance and human resources, strategic planning and corporate communication to support the Group’s overall functions.

Hardware and software licensing fees - 26.61% (within 24 months)

The group resellsl hardware and software as part of the business activity on top of their implementation and support and maintenance services. Hardware and software licenses are purchased by us and resold to their clients packaged with their services as value-added reseller given their technical expertise to assist in implementing and configuring these hardware and software. This positions us as a one-stop centre for implementation and maintenance support and professional services, allowing us to further drive their revenue from the core businesses. As at the LPD, the Group resells hardware and software licenses from certain of their technology partners being Oracle, WSO2 and Technology Partner B. 

They intend to allocate RM6.52 million representing 26.61% of the Public Issue proceeds for the new purchase and renewal of the hardware and software licensing fees of Oracle and WSO2 as well as new licenses from other technology partners depending on the requirements of their clients and contracts. The cost of hardware and software licenses may vary based on types of licenses and technology partners and are depending on the requirements of their clients and the type of software licenses used (i.e. whether onpremises or cloud infrastructure software). On-premises software licenses, being software that are installed directly into their clients’ IT infrastructure on their premises, are typically calculated on the basis of cost per license per software while cloud infrastructure licensing costs are determined based on, amongst others, the type of software, amount of data, time of usage and other factors which may affect how the cloud infrastructure is used. While the group is not able to determine the number of licenses to be purchased at this point in time, the allocated amount of RM6.52 million is expected to be used within 24 months from the Listing for the purpose. 

Loan repayments - 16.34% (within 6 months)

The group plans to utilise RM4.00 million representing 16.34% of the Public Issue proceeds for the repayment of the loans taken out to finance the purchase of properties. They have taken bank borrowings of approximately RM4.47 million to fund the purchase of 4 properties, 2 of which are currently used by us as the main offices. As at the LPD, the outstanding sum of bank borrowings for the purchase of their owned properties stands at RM4.00 million, which is the total amount of bank borrowings of the Group.

The group expects to utilise the proceeds to fully repay the entire amount outstanding under the letter of offer within 6 months from the date of the Listing. The intended repayment of bank borrowing will result in an estimated annual interest savings of approximately RM0.18 million based on the effective interest rate of approximately 4.35% per annum. However, the actual interest savings may vary depending on the then applicable interest rates.
