103 ARCHITECT CENTRE SDN. BHD. Company No. 805977-A (Incorporated In Malaysia) DIRECTORS’ REPORT As At 31 December 2016 (Cont’d)

During and at the end of the financial year, no arrangements subsisted to which the Company is a party, being arrangements with the objects of enabling directors of the Company to acquire benefits by means of the acquisition of shares in or debentures of the Company or any other body corporate.

OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION Before the financial statements of the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps : i) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of provision for doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate provision had been made for doubtful debts, and

ii) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their value as shown in the accounting records in the ordinary course of business had been written down to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances : i) that would render the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; ii) that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Company misleading; iii) that would render any amount stated in the financial statements of the Company misleading; and iv) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing methods of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Company misleading or inappropriate.

At the date of this report, there does not exist :

i) any charge on the assets of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year which secures the liabilities of any other person, or ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year.

No contingent liability or other liability of the Company has become enforceable, or is likely to become enforceable, within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Company to meet their obligations as and when they fall due.

HOLDING COMPANIES At the end of the financial year, the directors regard Pusat Teknologi PAM Sdn. Bhd., a company incorporated in Malaysia, as its immediate holding company and Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia, an institute registered in Malaysia under Societies Act, 1966, as its ultimate holding company.

AUDITORS The auditors, JB LAU, have expressed their willingness to continue in office.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors :
