NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
| 1. | GENERAL INFORMATION AND REORGANIZATION TRANSACTIONS (CONT’D) |
Reorganization under common control (cont’d)
| - | On 18 March 2022, ARB Berhad transferred its equity interest in ARB IOT Group Sdn. Bhd. to ARB IOT (M) Sdn. Bhd., through ARB Digital Technology Sdn. Bhd., an indirect wholly-owned Malaysian subsidiary of ARB Berhad. As a result, the Company acquired the Transferred Shareholdings. |
| - | On 9 June 2022, the Company effected a 1 to 10,000 share split (please see Note 14 for more information); |
Upon the completion of the Reorganization, the Company became the holding company of the subsidiaries set forth in Note 2 Principles of consolidation. As the Company’s subsidiaries and the Company were controlled by ARB Berhad, immediately before and after the Reorganization, the Reorganization was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. As a result, the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 30 June 2021 and 2022 represent historical consolidated financial statements as if the corporate structure of the Group had been in existence since the beginning of the periods presented and the financial statement items of the combining entities had been combined from the date when the combining entities first came under the control of the controlling party. The net assets of the combining entities are consolidated using the existing book values from the controlling party’s perspective. No amount is recognized in respect of goodwill or excess of bargain purchase gain at the time of common control combination.

The policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group consisting of ARB IOT Group Limited and its subsidiaries.
Basis for preparation
Through the Reorganization, the Company became the holding company of the contributed businesses now comprising the Group, which were under the common control of the controlling shareholder before and after the Reorganization. Accordingly, the financial statements were prepared on a consolidated basis by applying the principles of the pooling of interest method as if the Reorganization had been completed at the beginning of the reporting period for the period ended 31 December 2021 and 2022.

Basis for preparation (cont’d)
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method with assets and liabilities acquired recorded at the acquisition date fair value. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest share (“NCI”) in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure NCI in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred and included in General and administrative expenses.
Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The principal place of business of the subsidiaries are in Malaysia and/or incorporated in Malaysia unless indicated otherwise. The details of the subsidiaries are as follows:

Segmental Information
An operating segment is defined as a component of an entity for which discrete financial information is available and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM is comprised of the Management Board of the Group. The Group operates as two segment dedicated to the provision of hardware and software of Internet of Things solutions and investment holding and others. The CODM makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance based on the Group as a whole. Accordingly, the Group has determined it operates in two operating and reportable segment.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the Company’s presentation currency. The use of USD is solely for the convenience of the reader. All the functional currency of subsidiaries of ARB IOT Group Limited are Ringgit Malaysia.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Ringgit Malaysia using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial period exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items are converted at the rate of exchange used to convert the related consolidated statements of financial position items, i.e., at the time of the transaction.
Revenue recognition
Revenues are generally recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services provided to our customers, reflecting the amount of consideration we expect to receive for those products or services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Revenues are recognized upon the application of the following steps:
| 1 | Identification of the contract or contracts with a customer; |
| 2 | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
| 3 | Determination of the transaction price; |
| 4 | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| 5 | Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. |
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group and the Company. Short term accumulating compensated absence such as paid annual leave is recognised when services are rendered by employees and short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

Employee benefits (cont’d)
Defined contribution plan
As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the Employees’ Provident Fund (“EPF”). The contributions are recognised as a liability after deducting any contribution already paid and as an expense in profit or loss in the period in which the employee render their services. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group and the Company has no further payment obligations.
Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial period.
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) |
Impairment of assets
Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate it might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use and is calculated with reference to future discounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate when considered as part of a cash-generating unit. Assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. If an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment charge been recognized for the asset in prior years.
Cash and bank balances
For the purposes of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and, if applicable, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value. The Group holds trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortized cost, less provision for impairment. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade payables
Trade payables are liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period which are unpaid. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. All trade payables were current for the period ended 31 December 2022 and 2021.
Share capital and reserves
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds of the issue.

Fair value hierarchy
Financial instruments are carried at fair value. The different levels used in measuring fair value have been defined in accounting standards as follows:
Level 1 — the fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.
Level 2 — the fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3 — if one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers.
| 3. | CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS |
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgment in applying the Group’s accounting policies.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be wrong. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgments is included in other notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.
Significant estimates and judgments
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements other than disclosed in the Note 10 - intangible asset.

| (b) | Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and the normal credit terms of trade receivables granted by the Group ranged from 30 to 210 days (2022: 30 to 210 days). Other credit terms are assessed and approved on a case-by-case basis. They are recognised at their original invoices amounts, which represent their fair values on initial recognition. |
| (c) | Impairment for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are recognised based on the simplified approach using the lifetime expected credit losses. |
The Group uses an allowance matrix to measure the expected credit loss of trade receivables from individual customers. Expected loss rates are calculated using the roll rate based on the probability of a receivable progressing through successive stages of delinquency to 210 days past due.
The expected loss rates are based on the historical credit losses experienced by the Group. The historical loss rates are then adjusted for current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the customers of the Group. The Group has identified the base lending rate, unemployment rate, inflation rate and labor force participation as the key macroeconomic factors. Nevertheless, the Group believe that these factors are immaterial for the purpose of impairment calculation for the year.

| (a) | Other receivables and deposits are classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost. |
| (b) | Impairment for other receivables are recognised based on the general approach within IFRS 9 using the forward looking expected credit loss model. The methodology used to determine the amount of the impairment is based on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial asset. For those in which the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition of the financial asset, twelve month expected credit losses along with gross interest income are recognised. For those in which credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime expected credit losses along with the gross interest income are recognised. For those that are determined to be credit impaired, lifetime expected credit losses along with interest income on a net basis are recognised. |
The Group defined significant increase in credit risk based on payment trends and past due information.
A financial asset is ‘credit impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit impaired includes the following observable data:
| (i) | Significant financial difficulties of the debtor; |
| (ii) | It is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or |
| (iii) | The disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties. |
The probability of non-payment by other receivables is adjusted by forward looking information as stated in Note 5(c) and multiplied by the amount of the expected loss arising from default to determine the twelve month or lifetime expected credit loss for the other receivables.
| (c) | No expected credit loss is recognised arising from other receivables and deposits as it is negligible. |

Goodwill
Goodwill recognised in a business combination is an asset at the acquisition date and is initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group’s CGUs which represent the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
The recoverable amounts of the CGUs have been determined based on value in use (“VIU”) calculations. The VIU is calculated using the pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. VIU was determined by discounting the future cash flow generated from the business operation of the CGUs.
The calculations of VIU for the CGUs are most sensitive to the following assumptions:
| (i) | Revenue growth rates |
The forecasted growth rates are determined based on past performance of the CGUs.
| (ii) | Expenses growth rate |
Expenses are projected at annual increase of approximately 3.0% (2020: nil) per annum.
| (iii) | Pre-tax discount rates |
Pre-tax discount rate of 4.09% (2022: 4.09%) per annum has been applied in determining the recoverable amount of the CGUs.
| (iv) | Profit margin |
Profit margins are projected based on the historical profit margin achieved or predetermined profit margin for the CGUs.
With regards to the assessment of the value-in-use of the CGU relating to goodwill, no impairment loss was recognised for the intangible assets on consolidation for current financial year as its recoverable value was in excess of its carrying values.
