17. Prospects

expansion in household spending, export of services and also higher conctruction activity.
Further improvement can be seen in most economic sectors during the period. Major sector that recorded lower growth during the review included Services at 5% (2Q 2023: 4.7%),
Manufacturing at -0.1% (2Q 2023: 0.1%) and Construction sector at 7.2% (2Q 2023: 6.2%).
Private consumption recorded growth at 4.6% (2Q 2023: 4.3%) due to improvement in both necessities and discretionary spending by households.
Meanwhile, Malaysia’s inflation rate moderated but remained elevated at 2.5% in 3Q 2023 (2Q 2023: 3.4%) due to the existing price controls and fuel subsidies. With the current
Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) BNM is optimistic on its impact to accommodate the current economy.
The Group will continue to remain vigilant on its capital expenditure and its strategic ventures. The Group focuses to continuously improve efficiency in bituminous productions and
electricity generations.
During the current quarter period, the following significant events took place for the Company and its subsidiaries companies:
i) Minetech Asphalt Man International Sdn Bhd, an 85%-owned subsidiary of the Company had on 20 May 2021 entered into a Memorandum of Understanding("MOU") with Seltrade
Sdn Bhd ("Seltrade") to establish joint collaboration by supplying raw material including but not limited to cold mix, hot mix and emulsion to Seltrade for maintenance project of
Selangor's state road awarded by Jabatan Kerja Negeri Selangor. On 11 October 2023, the Board of Directors announced that Seltrade and MAMI had mutually agreed to terminate
the MOU due to the supply services by MAMI has not been active for the past two years. In accordance with the MOU dated 20 May 2021 between Seltrade and MAMI, the Parties
had mutually agreed to terminate the MOU in writing. Hence, the MOU shall cease to be valid and effective from 11 October 2023. On 12 October 2023, Minetech wishes to clarify
that the supply services by MAMI has not been active for the past 2 years was due to unsuccessful attempts to formalise a supply agreement and other potential collaborations on
premix projects with Seltrade. As such, it has led to the Parties to mutually agree on the termination of the MOU.
ii) Minetech Construction Sdn Bhd (“MCSB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company has on 31 January 2024 entered into an agreement with Able Return Sdn Bhd [Registration
No. 200101013874 (549631-D)] and Damar Consolidated Exploration Sdn Bhd [Registration No. 199101019355 (229692-V)] in connection with the renewal of contract for waste

December 2026 with an estimated total contract value of approximately RM230.0 million (“Contract”). On 5 February 2024, the Company wishes to further clarify that while Minetech
Construction Sdn Bhd continues to adhere to the same scope of work arising from the renewed contract, the production volume has increased by approximately 220% due to the
expansion of mining area as well as increase of price in additional materials and services, i.e. diesel, explosive, spare part, repair and maintenance, etc., which resulted in a higher
estimated total contract value.
Not applicable as the Group has not issued any profit forecast or profit guarantee to the public.

23. Derivatives
This is an update to the Report previously submitted by Minetech Resources Berhad (“MRB”) regarding material litigation cases involving the Group.
The Group is not engaged in any material litigation cases as at the date of this report other than the following:-
The Trial for Suit 288 had proceeded at the Kuala Lumpur High Court before Y.A. Datin Hajah Azizah on 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th October 2017, 13th and 23rd November 2017.
The Judge had on 20th April 2018 found the termination by Sri Manjung Granite Quarry Sdn Bhd (“SMGQ”) to be unlawful and had ordered SMGQ to pay damages to Optimis
Dinamik Sdn Bhd (“ODSB”) (the quantum of damages is to be assessed by the Court Registrar) together with interest thereon at the rate of 5% per annum from the date of the Writ
of Summon dated 1 April 2013 until full payment and costs of RM80,000.
As regards to SMGQ’s Counterclaim, the High Court only allowed SMGQ’s counterclaim for the outstanding tribute payment of RM256,300 owing by ODSB which is to be deducted
(set-off) from the damages assessed to be paid by SMGQ to ODSB. The Counterclaim of RM256,300 allowed by the High Court in Suit 288 should have no financial impact on the
Group as it is to be deducted (set-off) against damages to be paid by SMGQ to ODSB.
On 15th May 2018, SMGQ filed their appeal against the High Court’s decision in Suit 288 (“SMGQ’s Appeal”).
ODSB had filed Notice of Direction to the High Court for the assessment of damages. The Judge ordered for the assessment of damages to be stayed pending the disposal of
SMGQ’s Appeal.
SMGQ’s Appeal was heard on 31st March 2021. The Court of Appeal dismissed SMGQ’s Appeal and upheld the High Court’s decision in deciding that SMGQ has unlawfully
terminated ODSB’s contract and the damages should only be given to ODSB.
On 29th April 2021, SMGQ filed a leave application at the Federal Court. On 15 September 2021, the Federal Court dismissed SMGQ’s application for leave to appeal with cost of
RM15,000.00. Therefore, the High Court’s decision in deciding that SMGQ has unlawfully terminated ODSB’s contract and the damages should only be given to ODSB is upheld.
The Court has fixed 20th September 2022 for Case Management on Notice of Assessment of Damages.
On 18th October 2022, ODSB has submitted the Independent Report on Assessment Damages to the Court. The Court has fixed 22nd November 2022 for Case Management for
Defendant's Rebuttal.
On 22nd November 2022 Case Management, the Defendant's Solicitor has requested for more time to finalise and submit their Rebuttal. The Court fixed 13th January 2023 for the
next Case Management date. On 13th January 2023, the Defendant’s Solicitor has required a further time extension. The Court fixed the next Case Management date on 31st
October 2023. ODSB had engaged an external accountant, Messrs BDO, to prepare a Report to calculate ODSB’s loss of profit for the purpose of the Assessment Proceedings.
The Court has fixed a further Case Management date on 11th March 2024 for the parties to finalise the marking and categorisation of all documents intended to be relied on during
the assessment of damages proceeding and the preparation of the List of Witnesses.
Coral Power Sdn Bhd ("CPSB") had received Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim ("Claims") dated 31 July 2023 from ManagePay Resources Sdn Bhd ("MPAY"). MPAY
claims of the total amounting to RM5,610,011.47 for the overdue interest under the loan agreement and an interest at a rate of 8% per annum on late interest payments.
The Board of Directors had obtained a preliminary view from its solicitors who considers that Minetech and CPSB have a reasonably good prospect of defending the Claim and has
made a counterclaim against the Plaintiff accordingly.
On 10 October 2023, the Company and CPSB had filed a Defence and Counterclaim (“Counterclaim”) suit against the Plaintiff for failing to comply with the drawdown schedule in
accordance to the Offer Letter and Loan Agreement, and had instead drawdown periodically via 59 tranches, which had caused material development and financial delays on the
Project.
The counterclaim consists of compensation for general damages due to breach of the Offer Letter and Loan Agreement to be assessed by the High Court based on the costs
incurred by CPSB and/or estimated damages amounting to RM20,742,738.71 and interest at the rate of 5% per annum on the amount of damages from the date of filing the
Counterclaim until full settlement. The Court has fixed the trial on 10th - 12th June 2024.
