Financial Position and Balance Sheet Overview

- Cash and Bank Balances: RM 23.36 million, including RM 11.84 million pledged as performance bond.
- Zero Borrowings: The Group had no borrowings or debt securities as of the reporting date, but continues to retain a large pledged deposit as a performance bond for its contract obligations.
- Share Capital: 4,150,936,548 ordinary shares with a paid-up capital of RM 132.34 million.
- Accumulated Losses: Increased to RM 95.33 million, up from RM 92.03 million at the end of 2025.
Operational Review and Segment Analysis
- ICT Division: Sole contributor to Q1 2026 revenue, all from the Artificial Intelligence Solutions (AIS3) project. Revenue recognition in this period reflects final stages of project completion.
- Healthcare Division: No revenue contribution in both Q1 2026 and Q1 2025.
- Operating Expenses: Increased to RM 1.72 million in Q1 2026 from RM 1.15 million in Q1 2025, exacerbating the Group’s losses.
Cash Flow and Capital Management
- Net Cash Generated from Operations: RM 2.03 million for Q1 2026, up from RM 0.42 million in Q1 2025, mainly due to reduction in receivables and contract asset.
- Capital Expenditure: RM 1.31 million for property, plant, and equipment in Q1 2026.
- Private Placement Proceeds: Of the RM 5.09 million raised in July 2025, only RM 0.27 million has been utilized for proposal expenses. The balance RM 4.82 million remains unutilized, earmarked for funding existing and future projects within 12 months.
Significant Corporate Developments
- Capitalisation of Advances: On 30 April 2026, G3 Global Berhad increased its equity investment in subsidiary Atilze Digital Sdn. Bhd. by RM 40.5 million via capitalising advances. This internal rationalisation brings total investment to RM 42.5 million. While management deems this immaterial to 2026’s consolidated position, investors should note the strategic move to strengthen its subsidiary’s balance sheet.
- No Material Litigation or Contingencies: The Group reported no ongoing material litigation or off-balance-sheet financial instruments. The only contingent liability is the RM 11.84 million performance bond pledged for contract obligations.
Outlook and Strategic Initiatives
- Management acknowledges the challenging economic environment and is focused on:
- Completing the key ICT project and expanding the division’s order book.
- Venture into collaborations with industry players to boost ICT division growth.
- Increase business development efforts to secure new contracts.
- Consideration of further corporate fund-raising exercises.
Other Noteworthy Points for Investors
- No Dividends: No dividend declared for Q1 2026, highlighting the Group’s focus on cash retention amid losses.
- Price Sensitive Risks: The ongoing steep decline in revenue and widening losses, alongside the near depletion of project revenue visibility, are significant red flags that may affect investor sentiment and share price.
- Potential Catalysts: Any successful new project wins, collaborations, or deployment of the unutilized RM 4.82 million private placement proceeds could be positive triggers for the share price.
- Balance Sheet Strength: Despite no borrowings, the Group’s accumulated losses and reliance on project-based revenue require close monitoring for further capital-raising or restructuring actions.
- Project Completion Risk: As AIS3 nears completion and with no clear follow-up projects announced, the Group faces heightened revenue risk in upcoming quarters.
