(i) an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for the winding up of the
Company;

(ii) a receiver, receiver and manager, judicial manager, liquidator, administrator or


like official is appointed over the whole or substantial part of the undertaking or
property of the Company;

(iii) a holder of an Encumbrance takes possession of the whole or any substantial

mutually agreed by the Parties in writing; or

(ii) to proceed with the completion of the Proposed Share Issuance (without
prejudice to the Parties’ rights under the Subscription Agreement).

2.1.8 Completion

The completion of the Proposed Share Issuance under the Subscription Agreement shall
take place on the date of listing of the Subscription Shares on the ACE Market of Bursa
Securities after the payment of the Subscription Price by the Subscribers under Clause
2.1.6 hereof.

The Subscribers have confirmed that they have sufficient financial resources to subscribe for the
Subscription Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and CIMB has verified the
sufficiency of financial resources of the Subscribers for the subscription of the Subscription
Shares.

2.2 Basis and justification of determining the issue price of the Subscription Shares

The issue price of RM0.12 per Subscription Share was arrived at on a willing-buyer willing seller
basis after taking into consideration the following:

(i) the prevailing market conditions;

(ii) the 5-day VWAMP of IRIS Shares; and

(iii) the intended utilisation of the gross proceeds to be raised from the Proposed Share
Issuance, as set out in Section 2.6 of this Circular.

The Share Issuance Price represents a discount of approximately 11.0% to the 5-day VWAMP of
IRIS Shares up to and including 13 June 2018, being the last trading day prior to the date of the
Announcement of RM0.1349 (“LTD”).

In addition, the Share Issuance Price represents the following discounts against the historical
share price of IRIS:
Share price Discount
RM RM %

Last transacted price of IRIS Shares as at the LTD 0.1300 0.0100 7.7

5-day VWAMP of IRIS Shares up to and including the LTD 0.1349 0.0149 11.0

1-month VWAMP of IRIS Shares up to and including the LTD 0.1342 0.0142 10.6

6-month VWAMP of IRIS Shares up to and including the LTD 0.1853 0.0653 35.2

1-year VWAMP of IRIS Shares up to and including the LTD 0.1812 0.0612 33.8

The Company also disclosed in its interim financial report for the fourth quarter ended 31 March
2018 (“Interim Report”), the current business environment for financial year 2019 (“FY2019”) is
expected to remain challenging for IRIS Group. For the Proposed Share Issuance, the
Subscribers namely Dato’ Sri Robin Tan Yeong Ching, Dato’ Poh Yang Hong and Dato’ Rozabil
@ Rozamujib Bin Abdul Rahman had expressed their acceptance to participate in the Proposed
Share Issuance at the issue price of RM0.12 per IRIS Share. The Board recognises that the
Proposed Share Issuance will enable IRIS to raise funds to meet its working capital
requirements and to capitalise on future business projects/investments, as and when such
opportunity arises, without incurring additional interest costs as compared to bank borrowings.

After due consideration of IRIS Group’s financial position and the rationale for the Proposed
Share Issuance which is disclosed in Section 4 of this Circular, the Board decided to apply a
discount rate of approximately 11.0% to the 5-day VWAMP of IRIS Shares up to and the LTD of
RM0.1349 to derive the issue price of RM0.12 per Subscription Share as it was necessary to
secure the participation of the Subscribers in the Proposed Share Issuance.

2.3 Implication of the Rules

By virtue of their interests in Caprice, DPYH and DRAR are deemed to be persons acting in
concert with each other based on Section 216(2) of the Capital Market and Services Act, 2007.

According to Rule 4.01 of the Rules, where a group of persons acting in concert holds more than
33% of the voting shares or voting rights of a company, any member of the group will incur a
mandatory offer obligation if he acquires voting shares or voting rights resulting in him:

(a) Acquiring more than 33% of the voting shares or voting rights of the company; or

(b) Acquiring more than 2% of the voting shares or voting rights of the company in any 6
month period (when the person already holds more than 33% but not more than 50% of
the voting shares or voting rights of the company.

As at the LPD, DPYH(1) and DRAR(2) collectively holds 11.61% of voting shares in IRIS.
Accordingly, the subscription by DPYH and DRAR of 247,190,200 of Subscription Shares will not
give rise to any consequence of mandatory general offer obligation pursuant to the Rules as the
shareholdings of DPYH and DRAR after the Proposed Share Issuance will not result in them
having more than 33% of the voting shares in IRIS, collectively.

Notes:

(1) Pursuant to DPYH’s interest in Caprice.

(2) Pursuant to DRAR’s interest in Caprice, R Capital and Mazer.

2.6 Utilisation of proceeds

Based on the Share Issuance Price and the issuance of 494,380,400 Subscription Shares
pursuant to the Proposed Share Issuance, IRIS is expected to raise gross proceeds of
approximately RM59.33 million. The gross proceeds raised from the Proposed Share Issuance
are proposed to be utilised by IRIS Group in the following manner:

Proposed utilisation of proceeds RM 000 Expected timeframe for utilisation

The future business projects/investments comprise bidding for various trusted identification
projects in Africa, Asia, Asia Pacific and North America regions whereby depending on the local
tendering requirements, IRIS may either be the main contractor/supplier or a supplier to a local
partner.The allocation of proceeds for these future business projects/investments is approximately
RM8.00 million. This will cover the expenses to be incurred for the projects which include but is

4. RATIONALE

The Proposed Share Issuance will enable IRIS to raise funds to meet its working capital
requirements and/or to finance future business projects/investments, as and when such
opportunity arises, without incurring additional interest costs as compared to bank borrowings.

After due consideration of the various funding options available to the Company, the Board is of
the view that the Proposed Share Issuance is the most appropriate avenue for the Company to
raise funds as the Proposed Share Issuance will:

(i) enable the Company to raise funds expeditiously without relying entirely on equity
funding from the existing shareholders of the Company as compared to a proportionate
issuance of new Shares in a rights issue scenario, which would typically entail a longer
implementation time and may prove to be challenging in terms of securing underwriting
given current market conditions;

(ii) allow the Company to raise funds without incurring interest costs or service principal
repayments as compared to bank borrowings; and

(iii) strengthen the financial position of the Company by virtue of an increase in the capital
base of the Company.

8
8
In addition to the above, as you may be aware, IRIS’s financial position has been deteriorating
over the years as IRIS had been reporting losses for the past 3 financial years mainly due to the
poor performance of IRIS’s non-core businesses. This had resulted in the reduction of IRIS’s
shareholders’ equity from RM550 million in FYE 2016 to RM193 million in FYE 2018. The poor
financial performance had also impacted the current ratio of IRIS, which had been on a declining
trend since FYE 2016. Altogether, the current financial condition of IRIS has made it challenging
for IRIS to raise funds from the debt market. Accordingly, IRIS had to undertake the Proposed
Share Issuance instead.

How the Proposed Share Issuance will impact shareholders of the Company as well as create
value to the Company and its shareholders

As highlighted in Section 4(ii) above, the Proposed Share Issuance will allow the required funds
to be raised without incurring additional interest costs which will further impact the profitability
and cash flow of the Company. On top of interest savings, as discussed in Section 6.2 below,
the Proposed Share Issuance will also enlarge the share capital base of the Company and thus,
lower the Company’s gearing ratio and increase the NA per share of the Company. IRIS is also
hopeful that the successful implementation of the Proposed Share Issuance and the participation
of DPYH and DRAR, its existing substantial shareholders and DSRTYC will potentially restore
some of the confidence of its stakeholders.

Adequacy of the Proposed Share Issuance to address the financial concerns of IRIS Group and
the steps taken to address the financial concerns of IRIS Group

The Board wishes to highlight that the Proposed Share Issuance is only a short term measure in
addressing IRIS’s current financial condition. The Proposed Share Issuance is expected to
provide a better footing for IRIS to continue to focus on revitalising the trusted identification
business that IRIS has strength in and exit its non-core, loss-making businesses. In FYE 2018,
IRIS has disposed its loss making education division and has implemented a plan to manage the
completion of remaining loss-making sustainable development projects by phasing out the
business. IRIS has also completed the disposal of its entire equity interest in Regal Energy
Limited (which in turn holds 65% equity interest in Weinan IRIS Envirowerks Zhouji Renewable
Resources Co., Ltd.) on 26 July 2018. In the long run, the Board and the management of IRIS
are hopeful that these efforts shall improve IRIS’s financial performance and bring value to its
stakeholders.

5. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW, OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS

5.1 Overview and outlook of the Malaysian economy

The Malaysian economy performed strongly in 2017, registering a growth of 5.9% (2016: 4.2%).
Growth was anchored by domestic demand, reflecting faster expansion in both private and public
sector spending. Similar to the region, Malaysia benefited from the broad-based global recovery,
with gross exports increasing at its fastest pace since 2004. The materialisation of positive
spillovers from the external sector further reinforced domestic demand.

In this positive environment, Malaysia is projected to remain firmly on a steady growth path to
grow by 5.5% – 6.0% (2017: 5.9%).

(Source: Extracted from Bank Negara Malaysia Annual Report 2017)

The Malaysian economy expanded by 5.4% in the first quarter of 2018 (4Q 2017: 5.9%), driven
by continued growth in private sector spending (5.2%; 4Q 2017: 7.4%) and strong growth in net
exports (62.4%; 4Q 2017: 2.3%). On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted basis, the
economy grew by 1.4% (4Q 2017: 1.0%).

Domestic demand recorded a moderate growth of 4.1% (4Q 2017: 6.2%), due to lower growth of
private sector expenditure (5.2%; 4Q 2017: 7.4%) and a marginal decline in public sector
spending (-0.1%; 4Q 2017: +3.4%).

9
9
Private consumption registered a sustained growth of 6.9% (4Q 2017: 7.0%), supported by
continued strength in wage and employment growth. Growth of private investment moderated to
0.5% (4Q 2017: 9.2%). Private investment was weighed down by lower capital spending in
structures, particularly in residential and commercial properties, and machinery and equipment
during the quarter. On a sectoral basis, private investment was supported mainly by the services
sector, particularly the education and healthcare sub-sectors.

Public consumption growth was lower at 0.4% (4Q 2017: 6.8%) on account of lower expenditure
on supplies and services. Public investment continued to decline in the first quarter (-1.0%; 4Q
2017: -1.4%), attributed to the contraction in spending on fixed assets by public corporations.
The lower capital spending by public corporations was due mainly to the near completion of a
few large-scale projects. Gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) growth moderated to 0.1% (4Q
2017: 4.3%). By type of assets, capital spending on machinery and equipment registered a
contraction of 3.6% (4Q 2017: +8.3%). Investment in structures grew more moderately (2.8%; 4Q
2017: 3.3%) while investment in other types of assets recorded a smaller decline of 0.2% (4Q
2017: -6.8%).

In 2018, growth is projected to remain favourable, with domestic demand as the key driver of
growth. The positive growth prospects are supported by continued spill overs from the external
sector to domestic economic activity. Trade performance is expected to benefit from favourable
global demand, new export production capacity and exposure to the global technology cycle.

On the domestic front, leading indicators such as the Department of Statistics Malaysia’s
Composite Leading Index, MIER Business Conditions Index and MIER Consumer Sentiments
Index point toward continued expansion of the economy. Private consumption will be
underpinned by continued wage and employment growth, with support from Government
measures. Investment activity will be supported by capital spending for new and ongoing projects
amid positive business sentiments.

of 2018, Bank Negara Malaysia)

5.2 Overview and outlook of the ICT Industry

The government has invested aggressively in improving its international broadband bandwidth,
4G coverage, and cloud capabilities over the past three years. The federal government has also
worked closely with telecom service providers to improve network coverage and affordability.
Malaysia’s significant improvement can be attributed to increased use of ICT among citizens, as
well as an improvement in overall user experience.

Additionally, Malaysia has also prioritized initiatives to encourage the development of smart cities
that encompass a broad range of digital transformation activities, including government services,
education, and transportation. At the same time, policymakers have initiated a range of programs
that target local enterprises to promote the use of cloud computing. The overarching ICT strategy
that brings these activities together has enabled Malaysia to increase the contribution of its digital
economy to account for 17% of its overall national economy in 2016 – one of the highest
percentages in the world, according to the Department of Statistics of Malaysia.

The Department of Statistics of Malaysia (DOSM) reported that the digital economy now
accounts for 17% of its economy – which is extremely high, considering that most nations are at
a single-digit digital share. The ICT services sector, which includes Information Technology
Outsourcing, Business Process Outsourcing, and Knowledge Process Outsourcing, has grown to
account for 40% of the ICT sector, contributing more to the national economy than manufacturing.
Relative to overall Gross Domestic Product performance, ICT services have grown at a CAGR of
9%, contributing 4.8% in 2010 and 5.4% in 2015.

Policymakers in Malaysia have managed to help cultivate a substantial ICT sector by focusing on
digital infrastructure investment to transform the whole economy. As shown in the following figure,
Malaysia’s improvements in international bandwidth and download speeds are impressive, and
are the building blocks for its successful transformation to a digital economy.

10
10
Beyond planning, the central government strongly emphasizes the provision of a sufficient ICT
budget. In the 2016 budget released by the Ministry of Finance, ICT infrastructure investment
was included as the top level, number-one priority for fueling further economic development. In
the 2017 budget, in addition to strengthening digital infrastructure, the government has also
emphasized the importance of enhancing broadband quality and affordability to stimulate digital
content development and build a robust industry ecosystem. At the national level, Malaysia has
implemented policies and regulations aimed at stimulating ICT demand, improving user
experience, and enhancing people's ability to use emerging digital technology. Furthermore, the
government leverages forward-thinking policy frameworks to facilitate Right of Way in the rollout
of network infrastructure, encouraging collaborative planning between municipal construction and
network construction projects.

Digital identification (“ID”) cards in global circulation are expected to increase from 1.75 billion in
2013 to 3.3 billion in 2021. Of this, a total of 3.2 billion national ID smart cards will be issued by
103 countries. As of early 2017, 82% of all countries issuing official ID cards have implemented
programs that depend on smart cards or plastic cards and biometrics. Many countries are now
implementing cards with built-in biometric security for their respective national ID programs. The
government of Maldives has recently launched a biometric smart card based national ID called
“Passport Card” for its citizens in collaboration with Mastercard. Contactless smart cards are
increasingly being adopted by many national identity programs such as the German Identity card
and MyKad—the identity card issued by the Government of Malaysia to its citizens.

Experts expect to see as many as 600 million devices with biometric authentication by 2021. By
2020, 50 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices are forecasted to be in use, and 500 million
biometric sensors will be deployed for IoT by 2018. Indeed, IoT will be a major enabler for
combining analytics and continuous assessment to generate an adequate level of assurance, in
real time, that an individual is who he or she claims to be.

The demand for digital certificates has been increasing, mainly due to growing awareness on
trust and security. As at end 2017, total number of digital certificates issued in Malaysia was
11.04 million (2016: 9.6 million). Public sector is the major contributor to the usage of digital
certificates with 97.1% of total certificates issued. In raising the level of consumer trust towards
digital certificate, several improvements have been made to this service including implementing
Digital Date Time Stamp Services (“DTS”). DTS is expected to promote the use of Public Key
Infrastructure to a higher level and become an important component of the digital ecosystem in
Malaysia.

(Source: Industry Performance Report 2017 by Malaysian Communications and Multimedia


Commission, 2018)

The information and communication sector recorded a strong growth of 8.3% (January – June
2016: 8.6%). The communication segment remained as the major contributor to growth,
sustaining its pace at 9.3% (January – June 2016: 9.8%) following the aggressive promotional
activities by telecommunication companies and introduction of new telephone models.
Meanwhile, information segment grew 5.7% (January – June 2016: 3.6%) and computer services
rose 6.4% (January – June: 7%). The subsector is expected to sustain its strong growth
momentum expanding 8.5% in 2017(2016: 8.1%) supported by launching of latest smartphone
models, price reductions on earlier premium models and an increase in subscriptions to value
added services offered by telecommunication companies.

5.3 Prospects of IRIS

The principal business activities of IRIS are technology consulting and the implementation of
trusted identification, payment, transportation and sustainable development. In terms of its
business operations, the management of IRIS is on track with the Group’s transition to refocus
on its core business and to divest its non-core businesses. With the disposal of IRIS’s education
division(1) and the rationalisation of non-core businesses in the future, the management of IRIS
will be able to focus its resources on its core trusted identification business and capturing new
growth opportunities. IRIS Group is expected to be well positioned to further strengthen its
trusted identification business and to expand its enterprise products and solutions offerings.

In terms of strengthening the trusted identification business, we are on a continuous effort to


enhance our current products and solutions, as well as develop new products and solutions to
ensure that our products and solutions are among the most secure in the world.

For our enterprise products and solutions offerings, we are working hard on developing and
deploying the new Facial Live Capture (“FLC”) KiPPas kiosks, currently utilised by the Malaysian
Immigration Department for automated renewals of Malaysian electronic passports
(“ePassport(s)”). The renewal kiosks complement the current FLC kiosks for new and renewal
passport applications made at immigration counters across the country. In addition, IRIS’s
solutions for ePassport and automated border control solutions have also been updated,
upgraded and are ready to be deployed once the highly anticipated new policy for Logical Data
Structure Version 2.0 is finalised and endorsed by the International Civil Aviation Organisation.

Our products and solutions are mainly developed internally by designated software development
team. In relation thereto, other than the staff costs incidental to the software development team,
other costs to be incurred in relation to new product development is expected to be very minimal.

IRIS Group is expected to continue to derive revenues from the on-going trusted identification
projects in Africa, Asia, Asia Pacific and North America regions. There are exciting opportunities
for growth in the market as highlighted in Section 5.2 of this Circular. In this regard, the
management is of the view that the Proposed Share Issuance is in the best interest of the Group
whereby it enables the Group to raise funds for its day to day operations and future business
opportunities to support the growth of the Group. This shall in turn is expected to contribute
positively to the financial performance of the Group.

In view of the above and barring any unforeseen circumstances which may have an adverse
impact on the business operations of the Group, the management of IRIS is positive about the
Group’s prospects and expects continued growth of IRIS business operations and financial
performance.

1.2. Commentaries of financial performance for FYE 31 March 2016

The IRIS Group achieved revenue of RM519.6 million in FYE 31 March 2016, a decrease of
approximately 7.5% from RM562.0 million achieved over the previous financial year. The
decrease was mainly due to lower delivery of Malaysia ePassport project, slow demand for
Rimbunan Kaseh and Sentuhan Kasih projects, and government fiscal stress constraints amid
declining oil revenue.

Despite having a lower revenue, IRIS Group attained a profit before tax of RM17.8 million, a
substantial increase from loss of RM18.3 million for the previous financial year. This translated
into PATAMI of RM6.1 million for IRIS Group. The increase was mainly contributed by the gain
on disposal of RM29.9 million by IRIS Group of its entire 75% equity investment in PJT
Technology Co. Ltd. Furthermore, the Trusted Identification Division’s overseas projects namely
Nigeria ePassports, Senegal ePassports and Tanzania eID have provided better margins, in
addition to lower operating expenses.

IRIS Group’s balance sheet has strengthened further by reducing its debts from RM484.5 million
to RM274.8 million. The shareholders’ funds have also increased from RM546.9 million to
RM550.0 million. As a result, the gearing ratio has improved from 0.89 times to 0.50 times in the
end of FYE 31 March 2016.

Net EPS for FYE 31 March 2016 was at 0.30 sen, increased from net loss per share of 1.07 sen.

1.3. Commentaries of financial performance for FYE 31 March 2017

For FYE 31 March 2017, IRIS Group achieved revenue of RM437.7 million, a decrease of
approximately 15.8% from RM519.6 million recorded in FYE 31 March 2016. The decrease is
attributed to lower revenue from Sustainable Development projects due to substantial completion
of the Rimbunan Kaseh and Sentuhan Kasih projects for the state government and FELDA
respectively and the non-renewal of the Malaysia ePassport project at the Government of
Malaysia’s decision. The lower revenue was partially offset by higher revenue from the Trusted
Identification division especially from Senegal eID cards project and delivery of banking cards for
local financial institutions.

Due to the corporate restructuring plan of IRIS, IRIS Group made a one-time non-cash
impairment of RM247.1 million. The impairment consists of goodwill and assets of RM143.5
million from non-core Sustainable Development and Education divisions and RM103.6 million
from trade and other receivables for Trusted Identification. Due to these impairments, IRIS Group
recorded a significant loss before tax of RM316.0 million in FYE 31 March 2017 as compared to
profit before tax of RM17.8 million in FYE 31 March 2016.

If the financial statements are normalised to exclude one-off charges and only reflect on
operations, IRIS Group would have posted a loss before tax of RM68.9 million for FYE 31 March
2017. Taking into account taxation, IRIS reported a loss after tax of RM323.7 million in FYE 31
March 2017 compared to loss after tax of RM3.1 million in FYE 31 March 2016.

21

21
During the year, IRIS debt reduced to RM181.6 million from RM274.8 million. However, the
shareholders’ funds of IRIS Group have decreased from RM550.0 million to RM288.2 million due
to the loss after tax in FYE 31 March 2017. As a result, the gearing ratio has increased to 0.63
times in the end of FYE 31 March 2017 from 0.50 times.

Net loss per share for FYE 31 March 2017 was at 13.08 sen, reduced from net EPS of 0.30 sen
from the previous year.

Overall, by implementing the corporate restructuring plan which include initiating divestments of
loss making non-core Sustainable Development and Education Divisions to minimise further
losses from the Sustainable Development and Education divisions and to increase profit in
Trusted Identification division, IRIS is making ongoing improvements across all areas of the IRIS
Group to deliver sustainable growth. The Education Division was effectively disposed off as at
31 March 2018, and on 26 July 2018, IRIS completed the disposal of its entire equity interest in
Regal Energy Limited (which in turn holds 65% equity interest in Weinan IRIS Envirowerks Zhouji
Renewable Resources Co., Ltd.).

1.4. Commentaries of financial performance for FYE 31 March 2018

For FYE 31 March 2018, IRIS Group achieved revenue of RM340.1 million, a 22.3% attrition
from RM437.7 million recorded in FYE 31 March 2017. The decrease is attributed to lower
revenue from Trusted Identification of RM327.3 million from RM372.9 million recorded in FYE 31
March 2017 and Sustainable Development divisions of RM7.4 million from RM57.0 million.

The lower revenue from Trusted Identification division was mainly due to lower deliveries of
passports and identification cards and lower volume of bank cards personalised as most of the
bank cards have migrated from signature based to PIN-based cards. Sustainable Development
division recorded a lower revenue due to significant completion of its Rimbunan Kaseh and
Sentuhan Kasih projects.

IRIS Group recorded a lower loss after tax of RM117.3 million from continued operations in FYE
31 March 2018 as compared to RM307.4 million from continued operations in FYE 31 March
2017. The significant loss in FYE 31 March 2017 was mainly attributable to impairment losses
arising from previous investments in non-core business. For FYE 31 March 2018, the loss was
mainly due to recognition of projects related expenditure in relation to completed projects and
losses from foreign exchange due to the strengthening of the RM against the USD and the Euro.
The foreign exchange losses arose from the fact that most of the cash flows of the Company’s
current contracts are denominated in the USD and the Euro while IRIS Group’s reporting
currency is in RM. Consequently, IRIS’s revenue, costs, profits and asset values are affected by
fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates.

Trusted Identification division reported a loss before tax of RM41.0 million in FYE 31 March 2018
compared to a loss before tax of RM8.6 million in FYE 31 March 2017 mainly due to recognition
of project related expenditure in relation to completed projects and foreign exchange losses.
Sustainable Development divisions narrowed the loss before tax in FYE 31 March 2018 to
RM70.6 million compared to FYE 31 March 2017’s loss before tax of RM195.2 million. The
higher loss before tax in FYE 31 March 2017 was mainly due to impairment loss.

IRIS Group’s debts stood at RM104.5 million a reduction from the previous year’s of RM181.6
million. Due to the loss after tax amounting to RM142.2 million, the shareholders’ funds of IRIS
Group have decreased to RM193.8 million. Nonetheless, the gearing ratio has improved from
0.63 times to 0.54 times.

Net loss per share for FYE 31 March 2018 was at 5.12 sen, reduced from 13.08 sen.

Overall, IRIS has made significant ongoing improvements across all areas of the Group by
minimizing further losses from the Sustainable Development division through the phasing out of
the loss-making business, divesting the loss-making Education division and strengthening our
core business of Trusted Identification.

position or business of the Group:

(i) IRIS vs The Government of the United States (“U.S.”) (“U.S. Government”)

The lawsuit commenced on 24 February 2015. The lawsuit is a claim for patent
infringement of IRIS’ U.S. Patent No. 6,111,506, “Method of Making an Improved
Security Identification Document Including Contactless Communication Insert Unit”
against the U.S Government. It is alleged that U.S. electronic passports manufactured
for the U.S. Government, as well as use of foreign and U.S. Passports by the U.S.
Government and by entities acting on behalf of the U.S. Government constitute
infringements of that aforementioned IRIS patent, for which infringements IRIS is
claiming just compensation.

In February 2016, the U.S. Government filed a petition with the United States Patent and
Appeals Board, (“PTAB”), to have the aforementioned IRIS patent declared invalid.
While the PTAB proceedings are pending, the litigation in the United States Court of
Federal Claims is put on hold. At the time the litigation was put on hold, the proceedings
was still in the discovery phase.

Appeal filed by Department of Justice (“DOJ”) on 17 August 2017 requesting for


rehearing to PTAB against the dismissal of their Petition earlier was dismissed by PTAB
on 22 January 2018. As such, the main proceeding which is the infringement
proceedings itself will commence soon.

However the U.S. Government had on 14 June 2018, filed another motion to dismiss
IRIS’s First Amended Complaint. IRIS then filed Plaintiff’s Opposition to Motion to
dismiss the U.S. Government motion on 3 July 2018. The U.S. Government to file its
reply on/or before 24 July 2018.

The solicitors are of the view that it is estimated that the litigation will last for another
twelve (12) to eighteen (18) months. A reasonable estimate as to the outcome of the
litigation must await completion of briefing and hearing on patent claim construction. The
solicitors are of the view that in the compensation phase, IRIS will be required to hire an
expert to testify on the value of the patent to the U.S. Government. However, the
solicitors are estimating that it is possible that fees and costs going forward could reach
or possibly exceeds USD1,000,000.

USD3,477,522.

On 29 December 2015, Quad via its solicitors issued a Notice of Demand (NOD) to IRIS
claiming they sum of USD3,477,522 allegedly payable to them under the Supply &
Services Agreement.

On 16 February 2016, IRIS disputed the claims and did not make any payments. Quad
via its solicitors filed a suit against IRIS in the Riyadh Court. IRIS has appointed Messrs
Adel Yousef Al-Atalah based in Riyadh to represent IRIS.

The Hearing on 7 May 2018 was adjourned by the court to 28 May 2018 pending
translation of documents. The Hearing on 28 May 2018 was adjourned by the Court to
27 August 2018 for primary judgment.

The solicitors are of the view that the outcome on the sum of USD3,477,522 is bleak.

(v) In the High Court of Malaya at Kuala Lumpur Suit No. WA-22NCVC-126-03/2017;
Roxwell Group Sdn Bhd (755819-U) (“Plaintiff”) against (1) IRIS, (2) Tan Say Jim
(“D2”), (3) Su Thai Ping (“D3”), (4) Hamdan Bin Mohd Hassan (“D4”) & (5) Sylla
Ibrahima Sory (“D5”)

The Plaintiff and D1 entered into a Cooperation Agreement (“Agreement”) on 17th


November 2011 and among the salient terms of the Agreement was for the Plaintiff to
identify for IRIS for potential projects in the Republic of Guinea and Guinea Bissau
(“Territory”) for a period of three (3) years from the date of the Agreement. In
consideration of any and all services in respect of the Agreement involving the sale of
plant, equipment, machinery or asset arranged by the Plaintiff, IRIS agreed to pay the
Plaintiff a commission of 15% on the value or price of the plant, equipment, machinery or
asset sold.

The Plaintiff is claiming for an alleged commission payment in the amount of


RM169,480,350.00 (together with interest deemed appropriate by the court) under the
Agreement calculated based on the formula of 15% on the reported value of the BOT
Passport Contract awarded by the Government of the Republic of Guinea to IRIS in 2013
(“Project”). The Plaintiff is also alleging that IRIS has colluded with D2, D3, D4 and D5 to
deprive of its contractual rights under the Agreement.

It is relevant to note that the Project does not involve the sale of plant and equipment
and no deposit was received from the Republic of Guinea. There was also no
commission payment agreed between the Plaintiff and IRIS as to the securement of the
Project. IRIS denies it has breached the Agreement and wishes to reiterate that the
Plaintiff had never in any way facilitated to secure any contract whatsoever in favour of
IRIS within the two years from the execution of the Agreement. By virtue of clause 7.1 of
the Agreement, the same in effect became redundant and was never pursued.

In addition to the above claims, the Plaintiff also alleges that IRIS interfered with the
contractual relations between the Plaintiff and it’s employee, Sylla (who is also the 5th
defendant) by recruiting Sylla to assist IRIS directly in dealing with the Government of
the Republic of Guinea. The Plaintiff does not make a specific claim for damages for this
allegation which arises out of the same facts as the Conspiracy Claim.

27

27
The Plaintiff via its solicitors served IRIS a letter of demand in relation to the alleged
commission payable for the securement of the Project in 21st July 2014 which was
categorically denied and refuted by IRIS’s solicitors via letter dated 19th September 2014.
IRIS therefore deems the Plaintiff’s action as nothing but retaliatory in nature.

The parties have filed Bundle of Pleadings, Issues to be Tried, Plaintiff and Defendants’
Summary of Case, Common Bundle of Documents and List of Witnesses. The Court
fixed 27 September 2018 as final Case Management for parties to file Witness
Statement on/or before the case management date and full trial has been fixed on 16
October 2018 - 19 October 2018.

As of today, the Plaintiff has not been able to furnish sufficient particulars in relation to
the commissions and conspiracy claims. Therefore, the solicitors are of the view that the
Plaintiff is unable to show that it is entitled to its claim.
