Aseana Properties Limited
("Aseana", the "Company" or, the "Group")
Half-Year Results for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2023
Aseana Properties Limited (LSE: ASPL), a property developer with
investments in Malaysia listed on the Main Market of the London
Stock Exchange, announces its unaudited half-year results for the
six-month period ended 30 June 2023.
Operational highlights:
-- With the re-opening of the Malaysian borders to foreigners on
1 April 2022, the RuMa Hotel has achieved 58% occupancy in the
first six months of 2023 and continues to improve its performance.
Losses for the period ending 30 June 2023 were approximately RM 1.6
million due to a slower than expected recovery and costs driven by
high inflation since 2022.
-- The RuMa Residences achieved approximately 71% sales to date
based on sales completed of the 199 residential units. The Sale
& Purchase agreements for the remaining 57 units have been
signed and management expects completion by the first half of
2024.
-- In the first half of 2023, the occupancy rate at the Harbour
Mall Sandakan was on target at above 95%; its financial performance
through 30 June 2023 has exceeded expectations.
-- On 30 June 2023, the Group announced that it had entered into
a binding conditional agreement to sell the Sandakan hotel asset
and the Harbour Mall Sandakan for a gross consideration of MYR 165
million, completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory
approval as required.
-- The Divestment Team has been actively seeking potential
purchasers for other assets held by the Group.
Financial highlights:
-- Other Income of US$6.5 million (H1 2022: US$4.0 million)
-- Loss before tax of US$6.1 million (H1 2022: loss of US$12.5
million) which includes a foreign exchange loss of US$5.1 million
due to the depreciation of the Malaysian Ringgit, in which much of
the Group's assets were denominated in
-- Loss after tax of US$5.9 million (H1 2022: loss of US$12.8 million)
-- Total comprehensive loss of US$4.3 million (H1 2022: loss of US$14.5 million)
-- Net asset value of US$69.1 million (31 December 2022
(audited): US$73.2 million) or US$0.35 per share (31 December 2022
(audited): US$0.37 per share)
Commenting on the results, Nick Paris, Chairman of Aseana,
said:
The first half results of 2023 reflect the continued challenging
market conditions from factors such as the slow recovery from the
negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic, the economic impacts from the
conflict in Ukraine and monetary tightening across most central
banks in the face of inflationary conditions. Although Malaysia
re-opened its borders in April 2022, the tourism market faces a
weak rebound with arrival numbers down roughly 1/3 compared with
pre-pandemic levels. China, an important tourist market for
Malaysia, removed its travel restrictions in January, but its
arrival number remain weak because of China's economic slowdown and
a lack of flight capacity in the early months of the year. The
Company continues to focus on improving the 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
2023.
Interim Results for the Half Year ended 30 June 2023
Our interim results in this period continue to reflect the
significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our various
operating businesses. Our operating revenues continued to decline
and despite significant cost cutting initiatives, operating losses
and cash outflows have been inevitable due largely to debt service
payments. The loss for the period for Aseana for the half year
decreased to US$5.9 million (H1 2022: US$12.8 million). As
explained in the Financial Highlights, our net cash used in
operating activities was US$7.0 million (H1 2022: US$0.4 million),
and our cash balance at the end of the period was US$5.8 million
(H1 2022: US$8.8 million) after further paydown of debt service.
The loss which we are reporting for the six months ended 30 June
2023, has reduced our Net Asset Value per Share from 37 US cents,
at 31 December 2022, to 35 US cents (30 June 2022: 40 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 addition, further sale discussions are underway on some of
our remaining assets. Our aim continues to be to seek asset sales
in a controlled, orderly and timely manner in order to pay down
remaining debts and then 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 our 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.
Monica Lai was not re-elected as a Director at the Annual
General Meeting of the Company on 30 May. On 25 August, the Board
appointed Robert Minty as a Jersey based Director of the
Company.
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.
Thank you.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2023
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.
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the
six months ended 30 June 2023 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 2022 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 2022 as
described in those annual financial statements.
The interim report and financial statements were approved by the
Board of Directors on 25 September 2023.
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 2023
and 2022.
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.

10 MEDIUM TERM NOTES (CONT'D)
The medium term notes ("MTNs") were issued pursuant to a
programme with a tenor of ten (10) years from the first issue date

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 former
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 was due on 10 December 2020, 2021.
A repayment of US$8.89 million (RM39.0 million) was made on 7
April 2022. Subsequently, the remaining MTNs were further "rolled
over" and now repayable on 8 December 2023. The MTNs are rated
AAA.
