3. Strategic position in construction value chain Operates as a project delivery partner (PDP) by setting project objectives, performance progress rate monitoring, procurement, control of the process design, estimation and construction coordination as well as stakeholder management. Extensive technical capabilities for subcontracting from the project management role through technical joint venture with CRCC and China MCC especially for industrial, heavy civil and telecommunication construction engineering tenders. Business Model History Incorporated as Instacom Engineering Sdn. Bhd in 2001 for providing the services of radio frequency services, maintenance and procurement of radio frequency services and civil and engineering for telco tower. In 2012, Instacom gained listing status on Bursa Malaysia MESDAQ after it successfully completed the reverse take-over of I- Power Berhad. In 2016, it officially assumed its current name of Vivocom International Holdings Berhad. Business Sub-contracting and project manager role reduces the risk of tender cost and performance bond. Sweet spot segment as the main and sub-contractor which enable VIHB to mitigate the high capital and development expenditures such as tendering costs and performance bonds for project. Through its role as project manager, VIHB is able to control costs, design, progress rate and construction estimates. Thus, its role as both main and sub-contractor will benefit through predictable progress billing and comprehensive control over the construction process. Technical Joint Venture with CRCCB and CRCCG for construction projects. Strong order book for heavy civil, commercial and industrial engineering from CRCC and CRCCG in Malaysia and Indonesia via a technical joint venture for project management and sub-contracting. Niche capabilities in telco engineering. Specialized technical capabilities in (i) mechanical and engineering in installation, commissioning, (ii) testing and erecting telecommunication towers up to 100 metres, and (iii) civil & cabling with HDD machinery for fibre infrastructure work. Recurring income from rentals of telecommunication assets. Stable and solid recurring income from the rentals of 50 telecommunication assets to telecommunication providers such as Maxis, UMobile, DiGi, and Celcom, as well as MCMC. 2

Financials Expect healthy pretax margin. VIHB is expected to record pre-tax margin rates between the ranges of 10%-12% which is above the KL Construction Index average of 8%. VIHB s expected operating margin is illustrative of its business model in project management and sub-contracting. Its positions in the construction value chain enables the reduction for construction cost of tender, performance bonds and mobilization fee. Positive operating cash flow. The operating cash flow has been positive due to its prudent and risk adverse strategy of meticulous project selection and scheduled progress billings. VIHB has recorded a 3-year average free cash flow (FCF) of RM 15.5m which is not heavily saddled by interest payment, capital and development expenditure. We are expecting the positive cash flow to be sustainable with an estimated growth rate of +30% underpinned by healthy margin and cost structure. Strong orderbook from joint venture strategy. What is more surprising is the rate of its orderbook replenishment. VIHB s orderbook has grown by +33% from RM1.8bn in Q32015 to RM2.4bn to-date especially in mixed development construction segment. The total construction backlog is indicative of the success of its joint venture strategy with CRCC by acting as the project manager, sub-contractor or combination of both. VIHB stands as a frontrunner for sub and main contracting or project delivery partner in most of the projects financed by CRCCB or CRCCG as VIHB functions as the local construction partner. Steady recurring income. Additionally, VIHB enjoys steady recurring income from the rentals of 50 telecommunication assets nationwide with the 3-year average contribution of RM25.4m per annum on the back of an admirable 15% net margin. The telco segment amounts to 21% of its total revenue in 2014. Although, the growth of the telecommunication industry is sluggish; rentals from telecommunication assets are rather steady due to service provisions in contractual billings and network coverage. Dividends. VIHB has yet to announce their dividend policy. The feedback from management has indicated a strong possibility of announcing interim dividends in FY18. Prospects. We believe that VIHB is able to clinch projects related to railway constructions and engineering as well as RAPID, Pengerang. Our assessment derives from their working arrangements with (i) CRCC for double track construction, and (ii) consortium of upstream petroleum engineering companies for RAPID, Pengerang projects under Technicas Reunidas SA. Additionally, VIHB has attracted institutional foreign shareholding amounting to +5.4%. Moreover, Beijing Construction Engineering Group has also expressed interest to participate in VIHB equity capital structure as well as appointing VIHB as their local project delivery partner (PDP). 3

Key Risks Key Delivery Key risk in delivery for construction processes are cost, time, quality and environment. However due to VIHB unique business model being a project manager as well as the main and subcontractor; the risks of rigid project schedule, design variations and excessive approvals procedures and variations of construction design are minimized. The risk is evident given the current scenarios: Outstanding current orderbook of RM2.4bn. Lower sales in commercial and property sales nationwide due to declining loans growth. Exposure to significant regulatory and political risk through location of project in Indonesia such as Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Rail. Legacy telecommunication asset overheads which increases its construction expenditure although the incurred cost is forecasted to reduce its earnings only in FY16F. The telecommunication engineering cost is estimated to taper down in FY16F and FY17F through steep reduction in fabrication activities. We believe that the construction risks are addressed by VIHB through diversification by taking projects in various segments of industrial, commercial, residential and heavy civil in their orderbook. Our check with the management reveals that VIHB s current strategy is not to specialize as a contractor by putting all of its eggs in one nest but to generalize its capabilities to further widen its orderbook. Structural Structural risks such as contract provisions and definition especially on the role as a project management and a sub-contractor as well as the strength of the contractual covenants. For example, projects that requires specific technical capabilities such as railway engineering and signaling and telecommunication. Without the strong covenant and contract provision with clients, VIHB would face a heightened risk of the vendors and suppliers exiting pre-maturely or unpredictability in supply or services for project execution. Slowdown in construction sector through the reduction of development expenditure by the Malaysian government and government of China. We anticipate a moderate degree of risk exposure structurally through (i) due diligence of projects before acceptance, and (ii) the historical performance of project execution through reliance of supplies and technology from clients such as CRCCMB. 4

Valuation Based on its current construction orderbook of RM2.4bn at 11% net margin with WACC of 9%, the DCF-derived present value of VIHB construction business stands at merely RM0.04 sen per share. However, we reckon the present value based on existing orderbook is not truly indicative of the growth potential of VIHB construction business. This optimism is premised on the prospect of VIHB annual orderbook replenishment target rate of RM950m (sub and main contractor roles as well as project delivery partner) pursuant to its technical joint venture with CRCC as well as other close working relationships with China MCC and Regal International Group. It is also worthwhile to note that the order book of CRCC in the region currently amounts to >RM9.0bn. Based on our discussion with the management, an annual orderbook replenishment target rate of RM950m for VIHB is achievable through (i) the technical joint venture with CRCC, and (ii) policy of project completion guarantee. Therefore, based on (i) a more conservative annual orderbook replenishment rate of RM685m, (ii) at 11% net margin, and (iii) PER multiple of 13x which is comparable to other small cap construction companies, we believe the fair value of VIHB construction business stands at RM0.40 sen per share. In summary, inclusive of its 3 main businesses, our fair value for VIHB is RM0.59 per share based on FY17F sum-ofparts methodology.
