CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Introduction
I am pleased to report on the results of Aseana Properties and
its group of companies for the six months ended 30 June 2019.
The global economy experienced sluggish growth for the first six
months of 2019. Growing trade tension between the US and China as
well as prolonged uncertainty on Brexit continues to be the
dominant factor for global market uncertainty.
Malaysia registered a slower GDP growth of 4.7% in the first
half of 2019 compared to 4.9% in the same period last year.
Although Malaysian economy is expected to remain healthy from the
continuous support of steady domestic demand, challenges persist
due to uncertain external factors. On the Malaysian property front,
the market continued to soften in the first half of 2019 due to
various factors including macroeconomic uncertainties and weak
domestic consumer sentiment. Challenges such as stringent lending
policies, a development approval freeze by the Government on
selected commercial and high-end residential developments, property
oversupply and price unaffordability continue to dampen the
property market. In May 2019, Bank Negara Malaysia reduced the
Overnight Policy Rate by 25-basis points to 3.0% which has managed
to ease borrowing for potential home buyers. Sabah experienced a
slight increase in the number of tourists in the first six months
of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Total arrivals to
Sabah for the first six months was 2.02 million, with visitors from
China being the largest group at 0.32 million. However, eastern
Sabah is still affected by adverse travel advisory notices from
countries including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United States
of America and the United Kingdom.
Despite a softer global economy, Vietnam maintained strong
second quarter GDP growth of 6.7%. On the back of a GDP growth of
7.1% in 2018, Vietnam sustained its economic growth with extensive
market-oriented and outward-looking economic policies. Vietnam has
emerged as one of the fastest growing countries in Asia over the
last decade. Ongoing trade tariffs imposed on China by the United
States will continue to dampen global economic growth. However,
Vietnam will likely benefit from the ongoing trade tensions as
firms are moving manufacturing from China to countries such as
Vietnam, to avoid tariffs.
Results
For the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group recorded an
unaudited revenue of US$5.7 million (H1 2018: US$15.9 million),
which is mainly attributable to the sale of completed units in SENI
Mont' Kiara. No major asset sales were recorded during the
period.
The Group recorded an unaudited loss before tax for the period
of US$5.2 million (H1 2018: loss of US$4.1 million), mainly due to
operating losses and financing costs of US$1.4 million for City
International Hospital, US$0.6 million for Four Points by Sheraton
Sandakan Hotel and Harbour Mall Sandakan, and US$2.3 million for
The RuMa Hotel.
The Group's unaudited loss after tax stood at US$5.8 million (H1
2018: loss of US$4.6 million). The Group's unaudited consolidated
comprehensive loss for the period of US$5.9 million (H1 2018: loss
of US$4.8 million) included a foreign currency translation loss of
US$0.1 million (H1 2018: loss of US$0.1 million).
The unaudited net asset value for the Group 30 June 2019
decreased to US$132.3 million (31 December 2018 (audited): US$136.4
million) due to losses incurred during the period. This translates
to US$0.666 per voting share (31 December 2018 (audited): US$0.686
per voting share). Meanwhile, the unaudited realisable net asset
value for the Group stood at US$184.6 million at 30 June 2019 (31
December 2018 (unaudited): US$193.1 million). This is equivalent to
US$0.929 per voting share (31 December 2018 (unaudited): US$0.972
per voting share).
Changes to the Board of Directors
During 2019, there were a number of changes to the composition
of the Board of Directors as we sought to position the Group for
the final phase of the disposal of its assets. I would like to
thank Dato Azlan Hashim who had been Chairman since launch, Ferheen
Mahomed who had been a non-executive Director since May 2015 and
Richard Boleat for their wise counsel and advice to ASEANA. I also
welcome our new Directors:
-- Monica Lai who is the Chief Financial Officer of our former
Development Manager based in Kuala Lumpur and connected to Ireka
and Legacy Essence who collectively are the largest shareholder in
ASEANA, and
-- Christopher Lovell who returns to the Board and who was a
corporate lawyer and is based in Jersey and therefore serves a
particularly valuable purpose of linking us with our regulatory
base, and
-- Helen Wong who is an Asian property specialist based in Hong
Kong, will serve as our Divestment Director.
-- Nick Paris who is a representative of LIM Advisors based in
London and whose clients are the second largest shareholders in
ASEANA, resigned from the Board in March and was re-appointed in
early September.
Internalisation of Management
Ireka Development Management Sdn Bhd who served as our
Development Manager from launch resigned from their appointment in
March. They finished their role on 30th June and thereafter day to
day management of the Group was taken over by Mr Chan Say Yeong who
is based in Kuala Lumpur and who joined ASEANA as its Chief
Executive Officer on 3(rd) June.
Property disposals and Realisable Net Asset Value ("RNAV")
In order to dispose of the remaining assets owned by ASEANA, the
revised Board have been re-evaluating their likely disposal values
particularly in the light of increasingly competitive market
conditions for luxury hotels in Kuala Lumpur and continuing
challenging market conditions in Sandakan in East Malaysia. This
work is ongoing and will be reviewed by our external valuers and no
conclusions have been reached at this stage. The Directors will
inform Shareholders of the impact on the RNAV when they conclude
this process. The Board will however continue to publish NAV and
RNAV figures for the fund in the Annual and Semi-Annual accounts,
however believe that it is in shareholder's interests to cease
publishing valuations for individual assets whilst it concentrates
on selling those properties. Each sales process involves extensive
discussion and the handover of a lot of detailed information often
requiring Non-Disclosure Agreements ("NDA's") to be signed, and it
is felt that all information on a property is best delivered under
this process rather than piecemeal from public disclosures by your
Company.
The revised Board has made a lot of progress at improving the
sales and due diligence information available to prospective
purchasers for our properties and has been re-marketing them with
particular priority being placed on those where there is likely to
be the most demand and therefore the fastest possibility of a
completed disposal. A fair number of NDA's have been signed on some
of the assets and there is renewed interest which we are exploring
diligently. It is however too early to reveal the details of these
discussions and the negotiations are ongoing.
Investor Reporting
The Board believes that the quarterly Tracker newsletters t are
no longer an appropriate means of relaying progress to its
shareholders now that our principal focus is to expedite property
sale negotiations and turn them into completed transactions. It has
therefore been decided to discontinue these, however prompt
announcements will be made whenever a significant step in a
property sales process has been made. These updates will be
supplemented by portfolio updates in the Annual and Interim
accounts and the updated corporate presentations that accompany
them.
The next ASEANA Dis-continuation Vote
Shareholders extended the life of the Group for 18 months at an
EGM that was held in April 2018 in order to realise the remaining
assets in the portfolio. A further dis-continuation vote is
therefore required to be held at an EGM in December 2019 and the
Directors will be publishing their recommendations to Shareholders
ahead of that meeting as the disposal process is not likely to be
completed by then.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
2.1 Basis of Preparation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the
six months ended 30 June 2019 has 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 2018 which has 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 2018 as
described in those annual financial statements.
The interim report and financial statements were approved by the
Board of Directors on 27 September 2019.

The applicable corporate tax rate in Malaysia is 24%.
The applicable corporate tax rates in Singapore and Vietnam are
17% and 20% respectively.
A subsidiary of the Group, CIH is granted preferential corporate
tax rate of 10% for the results of the hospital operations. The
preferential income tax is given by the government of Vietnam due
to the subsidiary's involvement in the healthcare industry.
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.
