Aseana Properties Limited
("Aseana", the "Company" or, the "Group")
Half-Year Results for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2020
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 2020.
Operational highlights:
-- The RuMa Residences achieved approximately 70% sales to date
based on sale and purchase agreements signed.
-- Prior to the Movement Control Order ("MCO") issued on 18(th)
March 2020 in Malaysia, The RuMa Hotel achieved an average
occupancy rate of approximately 55% in January and about 40% in
February. The hotel was closed in March 2020 and is targeted to
re-open in October 2020.
-- As reported in our Annual Report issued 24(th) July, 2020,
Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan Hotel was closed in early 2020 due
to the MCO in Malaysia and the decision to permanently close was
taken when Marriott International terminated its hotel management
agreement.
-- The Harbour Mall Sandakan has slowly re-opened after the
gradual lifting of the MCO, its performance has exceeded
expectations with occupancy rates at about 94%, however the mall
operator has had to rebate rental lease payments to tenants for the
duration of the MCO when the mall was mostly closed.
-- The City International Hospital ("CIH") has shown a decline
in its operational performance due to the impact of the COVID
virus, with outpatient and inpatient volumes decreasing by
approximately 12% and 26% respectively compared to the same period
in 2019. Additionally, in late July CIH had a patient who tested
positive for the COVID virus which led to a temporary closure of
the hospital until the Ministry of Health issued a "clean bill of
health". Unfortunately, this temporary closure will exacerbate the
already negatively impacted financial performance. The hospital
reopened on 11(th) August, 2020.
Financial highlights:
-- Other Income of US$8.6 million (H1 2019: US$11.0 million)
-- Loss before tax of US$8.2 million (H1 2019: loss of US$5.2 million)
-- Loss after tax of US$8.3 million (H1 2019: loss of US$5.8 million)
-- Consolidated comprehensive loss of US$11.1 million (H1 2019: loss of US$5.9 million)
-- Net asset value of US$100.3 million (31 December 2019
(audited): US$109.6 million) or US$0.50 per share (31 December 2019
(audited): US$0.55 per share)
Commenting on the results, Nick Paris, Chairman of Aseana,
said:
"The H1 2020 results are reflective of the challenging market
conditions in Malaysia and Vietnam resulting from the negative
impact of COVID 19 and the actions taken by the respective
governments to contain the spread of the virus. Nonetheless, the
Company is focused on improving the operational performance and
narrowing the losses of its operating assets to improve the sale
prospects of the remaining assets and to realise the sale of those
assets in a controlled, orderly and timely manner".

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
2020.
The global economy experienced a significant growth shock during
the first six months of 2020 triggered by the spread of the COVID
virus around Asia and the measures put in place to control it.
These severely curtailed the movement of people between and within
countries which then impacted the hospitality and services
businesses on which Aseana concentrates. Malaysia registered a GDP
growth of 0.7% in Q1 2020 but a GDP decrease of 17.1% in Q2 2020
compared to growth of 4.7% for the six months period last year (1H
2019). Vietnam experienced two quarters of weak growth and overall
1H 2020 growth of 1.81% compared to growth of 6.7% in the same
period last year.
Interim Results for the Half Year ended 30(th) June 2020
Our interim results in this period reflect the significant
impact of the COVID virus on our businesses particularly after the
governments of both Malaysia and Vietnam introduced movement
controls on their citizens and on foreign visitors in March. As a
result our two hotels had to shut, our shopping mall had to close
for all but essential shopping and our hospital in Ho Chi Minh saw
a reduction in elective surgeries and overall patient admissions.
Our revenue on all of our assets was severely reduced and despite
significant cost cutting initiatives which were undertaken by the
Board, operating losses and increased cash outflows were
inevitable. As a result the consolidated loss for Aseana for the
half year increased to US$11.1 million (1H 2019 - US$5.9
million).
The movement controls also severely hampered our asset sale
activities as prospective buyers were unable to carry out their on
the ground due diligence. Nevertheless, we did sell two of our
three plots of undeveloped beachfront land in Kota Kinabalu in July
for a price representing 90% of their carrying value and completion
of those sales is still expected in October. We are working hard to
restart sale discussions on our other assets but as yet the
movement controls have still not been relaxed sufficiently to
permit prospective foreigner buyers to enter either Malaysia or
Vietnam.
The Board undertakes annual revaluations of the Group's
properties and this was last done in connection with the Annual
Report for the year ended 31(st) December 2019. The next full
valuation will be carried out at this financial year end and your
Directors have not made any impairments to the carrying value of
the assets in these Interim results as they believe that it is not
yet possible to gauge the impact of the virus on their long term
business models or the appetite of potential investors for our
remaining assets. Nevertheless, the loss which we are reporting for
the six months ended 30(th) June 2020 has reduced our Net Asset
Value per Share from US$0.55 to US$0.50.
An update on our Assets
The RuMa Hotel has not yet been re-opened although preparations
have been made to do so. However, an important component of its
target market comprises foreign tourists and business people and
they are still not permitted to enter Malaysia.
Local movement controls have recently been reduced within
Malaysia and we have therefore fully re-opened our shopping mall in
Sandakan and occupancy of it has been re-built to previous levels.
Our hotel in Sandakan remains shut following the resignation of
Marriott International as its operator and running costs have been
cut to the minimum required to maintain the condition and security
of the building. We now intend to re-market the hotel as a
standalone entity which can be more easily absorbed by another
hotel group without the need to remove an incumbent manager.
Our hospital in Ho Chi Minh remains open but recent virus
outbreaks starting in central and southern Vietnam have made the
local population wary of attending medical facilities. It will
therefore take time to re-build business levels.
The Demerger Proposal
As Shareholders will know, we are proposing a demerger of the
interests of Ireka and Legacy Essence and other related parties
from those of Aseana and I thank our Shareholders for their support
at our own EGM which was held on 18 August. We now await approval
from the shareholders of Ireka and from our bankers and we hope to
complete the demerger in October. Once the demerger completes,
Aseana will divest two assets being The RuMa Hotel & Residences
and the remaining plot of undeveloped land in Kota Kinabalu and
will have four assets remaining. The Aseana shares owned by the
demerging Shareholders will be bought back from them in exchange
for demerging the nominated assets to a new investment vehicle and
those Shares will then be cancelled by the Company. As a result,
the number of Aseana Shares will be reduced by approximately half
and our market capitalisation on the London Stock Exchange will
fall by the same percentage.
Our Business Focus and Property Divestments
Our current business focus for the Group is on reducing our
costs to preserve our cash balances and on improving the
operational performances of our remaining assets. The sale of the
land plots in July and completion of the demerger transaction
should bring in some modest cash inflows and we will use these to
finance the operations of the remaining assets whilst we seek to
sell them.
The impact of the COVID virus stopped all active sale
discussions on our assets in March and the ongoing effect on
operating revenues and costs at our assets is difficult at this
stage for prospective buyers to quantify. However, we have already
restarted sale discussions on some of those assets in order to seek
to realise them in a controlled, orderly and timely manner and to
return surplus sale proceeds after repaying their attributable
borrowings to our remaining Shareholders.
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 a very challenging
period in the corporate life of Aseana and the proposed demerger
transaction will mark a major watershed point. Assuming that it
completes, our Group will undergo a significant transformation for
the better - leaner but with significantly improved cash-flows and
we can concentrate on the task of selling our remaining assets.

The principal activities of the Group are the development of
upscale residential and hospitality projects, sale of development
land and operation and sale of hotels, a shopping mall and a
hospital in Malaysia and 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 2020 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 2019 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 2019 as
described in those annual financial statements.
The interim report and financial statements were approved by the
Board of Directors on 23 September 2020.
3 SegmentAL Information
The Group's assets and business activities were managed by Ireka
Development Management Sdn. Bhd. ("IDM") as the Development Manager
under a Management Agreement dated 27 March 2007. IDM resigned on
21 March 2019 and served out their notice period until 30 June
2019. Following that date, the Company has been managed by its
Board of Directors with the assistance of certain staff seconded to
the Company by Ireka and a Chief Executive Officer who resigned in
January 2020. On 31 May 2020 the Company terminated the Services
Agreement and also the staff secondment arrangements with Ireka and
has engaged a few staff directly to run its finances and
operations.
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. - developed, owns and operates
Harbour Mall Sandakan ("HMS") and Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan
Hotel ("FPSS");
(iv) Amatir Resources Sdn. Bhd. - developed SENI Mont' Kiara
("SENI");
(v) The RuMa Hotel KL Sdn Bhd - operates The RuMa Hotel
(vi) Urban DNA Sdn. Bhd.- developed and owns The RuMa Hotel and
Residences ("The RuMa") and
(vii) Hoa Lam-Shangri-La Healthcare Group - master developer of
International Healthcare Park ("IHP"); developed, owns and operates
the City International Hospital ("CIH").
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 2020
and 2019.
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 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.
