Aseana Properties Limited

("Aseana", the "Company" or, the "Group")

Half-Year Results for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2022

Aseana Properties Limited (LSE: ASPL), a property developer with investments in Malaysia and Vietnam listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, announces its unaudited half-year results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022.

Operational highlights:

-- The COVID-related Movement Control Order ("MCO") in Malaysia was officially lifted on 3 January 2022 with borders reopening to non-residents on 1 April 2022. The RuMa Hotel has achieved 32% occupancy in the first six months of 2022 and continues to improve its performance. Losses for the period ending 30 June 2022 were approximately RM 2.0 million due to a slower than expected recovery.

-- The RuMa Residences achieved approximately 71% sales to date based on sales completed of the 199 residential units.

-- The Guaranteed Rental Return ("GRR") payment to the hotel unit owners was reinstated in July 2022. The Group has provisioned RM 14.2 million for the GRR payment postponed during the period when the hotel was forced to shut down due to the COVID-related MCO enforcement.

-- In the first half year of 2022, The Harbour Mall Sandakan performance has exceeded expectations with occupancy rates at about 96%. Financial performance through 30 June 2022 is on target.

-- On 28 February 2022, the Group completed its sale of its Vietnam assets comprising the City International Hospital and the adjacent International Healthcare Park in Ho Chi Minh City.

-- As reported in our Annual Report published 28 April 2022, it is expected that the Group would be financed via the sale of the remaining units of residential inventories at The RuMa Hotel & Residences in West Malaysia, and through the disposal of the Sandakan hotel asset (formerly Four Points Sheraton Sandakan Hotel), the Harbour Mall Sandakan and the RuMa Hotel. The Divestment Team has been actively seeking for potential purchasers.

Financial highlights:

-- Other Income of US$ 4.0 million (H1 2021 (re-presented): US$2.1 million)

-- Loss before tax from continuing operations of US$12.5 million (H1 2021 (re-presented): loss of US$1. 4 million) which includes certain non-recurring expenses such as the provision of the Ruma Guaranteed Rental Return of US$3.3 million, a foreign exchange loss of US$2.7 million due to the appreciation of the US Dollars, a loss on asset value of the sold Vietnamese assets of US$3.8 million and operating expenses associated with that divestment of approximately US$1.1 million.

-- Loss after tax from continuing operations of US$12.8 million (H1 2021 (re-presented): loss of US$1.4 million)

-- Loss for the period of US$12.8 million (H1 2021 (re-presented): loss of US$3.3 million)

-- Total comprehensive loss of US$14. 5 million (H1 2021 (re-presented): loss of US$6.6 million)

-- Net asset value of US$79.5 million (31 December 2021 (audited): US$92.7 million) or US$0.40 per share (31 December 2021 (audited): US$0.47 per share)

Events After Statement of Financial Position Date:

On 3 August 2022, the Group terminated the conditional agreement dated 9 September 2021 for the sale of the remaining 58 residential units at The RuMa Hotel and Residences as a result of certain conditions in the agreement that had not been met.

Commenting on the results, Nick Paris, Chairman of Aseana, said:

"The first half results of 2022 reflect the continued challenging market conditions and the slower than expected recovery from the negative impact of COVID-19, the economic impacts from the conflict in Ukraine, the on-going COVID-19 restrictions in China and monetary tightening across most central banks in the face of inflationary conditions. Although the MCO was lifted on 3 January, the Malaysian borders were not reopened to non-residents until 1 April and therefore our hotel operations were negatively impacted. The Company continues to focus on improving operational performance of its assets, increasing their value and actively marketing the assets to potential buyers despite the macro challenges mentioned above and the illiquid nature of the assets."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Introduction

I am pleased to report on the results of Aseana Properties Limited and its Group of companies for the six months ended 30 June 2022.

Interim Results for the Half Year ended 30 June 2022

Our interim results in this period continue to reflect the significant impact of the COVID-19 virus on our various operating businesses. Our operating revenues continued to decline and despite significant ongoing cost cutting initiatives, operating losses and cash outflows were inevitable due largely to debt service payments. The loss for the period for Aseana for the half year increased to US$ 12.8 million (H1 2021 (re-presented): US$3.3 million) as explained in the Financial Highlights, our net cash used in operating activities was US$ 0.4 million (H1 2021 (re-presented): US$3.9 million) and our cash balance at the end of the period was US$8.9 million (H1 2021 (re-presented): US$9.1 million) after further paydown of debt service. The loss which we are reporting for the six months ended 30 June 2022 has reduced our Net Asset Value per Share from 47 US cents at 31 December 2021 to 40 US cents (30 June 2021 (re-presented) : 49 US cents).

Our Business Focus and Recent Property Divestments

The business focus for the Group is to continue improving the operational performance of our remaining assets in order to preserve our cash balances thereby increasing the value of these assets in conjunction with the ongoing divestment process.

In Vietnam, the Group completed its sale of its Vietnam assets comprising the City International Hospital and the adjacent International Healthcare Park in Ho Chi Minh City, through disposal of the relevant subsidiaries on 28 February 2022. The majority of the proceeds were used to pay down debt.

In addition, further sale discussions are underway on some of our other remaining assets. Our aim continues to be to seek asset sales in a controlled, orderly and timely manner, to pay down remaining debts and then to return surplus sale proceeds to our shareholders. Due to the current difficult economic environment and the inherent nature of the remaining illiquid assets, the Board will remain open to assessing all options to meet the debt obligations.

Acknowledgements

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues on the Board and throughout our Group and our external advisors, bankers and service providers for their tireless efforts on behalf of the Group and its Shareholders.

This has been another very challenging period in the corporate life of Aseana but with our recently announced divestments and the continuous efforts to sell the remaining assets, I believe that we are heading into the final stages of the life of the Company.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2022

   1    GENERAL INFORMATION 

The principal activities of the Group are the sale of development land and the operation and sale of hotels, and a shopping mall in Malaysia, and a hospital in Vietnam.

   2    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
   2.1     BASIS OF PREPARATION 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Taxes on income in the interim period are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

The interim results have not been audited nor reviewed and do not constitute statutory financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 as described in those annual financial statements.

The interim report and financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 14 September 2022.

   3    SEGMENTAL INFORMATION 

Segmental information represents the level at which financial information is reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision makers as defined in IFRS 8. The Directors determine the operating segments based on reports reviewed and used by their staff for strategic decision making and resource allocations. For management purposes, the Group is organised into project units.

The Group's reportable operating segments are as follows:

   (i)       Investment Holding Companies - investing activities; 
   (ii)      Ireka Land Sdn. Bhd. - developed Tiffani ("Tiffani") by i-ZEN; 

(iii) ICSD Ventures Sdn. Bhd. - owns and operates the Harbour Mall Sandakan ("HMS") and the Sandakan hotel asset ("SHA", formerly Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan Hotel);

   (iv)     Amatir Resources Sdn. Bhd. - developed the SENI Mont' Kiara ("SENI"); 
   (v)      The RuMa Hotel KL Sdn. Bhd. - operates the RuMa Hotel; and 
   (vi)     Urban DNA Sdn. Bhd. - developed and owns the RuMa Hotel and Residences ("The RuMa") 

Other non-reportable segments comprise the Group's other development projects. None of these segments meets any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments in 2022 and 2021.

Information regarding the operations of each reportable segment is included below. The Board of Directors monitors the operating results of each segment for the purpose of performance assessments and making decisions on resource allocation. Performance is based on segment gross profit/(loss) and profit/(loss) before taxation, which the Directors believes are the most relevant in evaluating the results relative to other entities in the industry. Segment assets presented inclusive of inter-segment balances and inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.

The Group's revenue generating development projects are located in Malaysia and Vietnam.

The applicable corporate tax rate in Malaysia is 24%.

The Company is treated as a tax resident of Jersey for the purpose of Jersey tax laws and is subject to a tax rate of 0%. The Company is also registered as an International Services Entity so it does not have to charge or pay local Goods and Services Tax. The cost for this registration is GBP200 per annum.

The Directors intend to conduct the Group's affairs such that the central management and control is not exercised in the United Kingdom and so that neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries carries on any trade in the United Kingdom. The Company and its subsidiaries will thus not be residents in the United Kingdom for taxation purposes. On this basis, they will not be liable for United Kingdom taxation on their income and gains other than income derived from a United Kingdom source.

   8    LOSS PER SHARE 

Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per ordinary share for the period/year ended was based on the loss attributable to equity holders of the parent and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, calculated as below:

The Medium Term Notes ("MTNs") were issued pursuant to a programme with a tenor of ten (10) years from the first issue date of the notes. The MTNs were issued by a subsidiary, to fund two development projects known as Sandakan Harbour Square and Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral ("AKLS") in Malaysia.

Following the completion of the sale of the AKLS by the Group in 2016, the net adjusted price value for the sale of AKLS, which included the sale of the entire issued share capital of ASPL M3B Limited and Iringan Flora Sdn. Bhd. (the "Aloft Companies") were used to redeem the MTN Series 2 and Series 3. Following the completion of the disposal of AKLS, US$96.25 million (RM394.0 million) of MTN associated with the AKLS (Series 3) and the Four Points Sheraton Sandakan (Series 2) were repaid on 19 August 2016. The charge in relation to AKLS was also discharged following the completion of the disposal.

The Group completed the "roll-over" for the remaining MTNs of US$24.43 million which is due on 10 December 2020, and 2021; it is now repayable on 8 December 2022. The MTNs are rated AAA.

Repayment of US$9.13 million (RM39.0 million) was made in the current financial period.
