CERTAIN INFORMATION

As used in this Annual Report on Form 20-F (the “Annual Report”), unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to:

●“ASEAN” are to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, currently comprised of ten member states in Southeast Asia, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Viet Nam, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Cambodia;
●“Exchange Act” are to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;
●“IPO Form F-1” are to the registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-267697), initially filed by the Company on September 30, 2022 and declared effective by the SEC on March 30, 2023.
●“IFRS” are to the IFRS Accounting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board;
●“RM” or “Ringgit Malaysia” are to the legal currency of Malaysia;
●“SEC” are to the Securities and Exchange Commission;
●“Securities Act” are to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
●“U.S. dollars,” “dollars,” “USD” or “$” are to the legal currency of the United States; and
●“we,” “us,” “the Company,” “our,” “our Company” or “ARB IOT Group” are to the combined business of ARB IOT Group Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Our reporting currency and our functional currency is RM. This Annual Report contains translations of RM amounts into USD at specific rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from RM to USD in this Annual Report were made at a rate of RM4.2150 to $1.00. We make no representation that any RM could have been, or could be, converted into USD, as the case may be, at any particular rate, at the rates stated below, or at all. The Malaysian government imposes control over its foreign currency reserves in part through direct regulation of the conversion of RM into foreign exchange and through restrictions on foreign trade. On June 30, 2025, the exchange rate was RM4.2150 to $1.00. Any discrepancies in any table between totals and sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding.

Our fiscal year end is June 30. References to a particular “fiscal year” are to our fiscal year ended June 30 of that calendar year. Our audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report contains many statements that are “forward-looking” and uses forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “ought to,” “plan,” “possible,” “potentially,” “predicts,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” negatives of such terms or other similar statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement due to its inherent risk and uncertainties, both general and specific. Although we believe the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable and within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations as of the date of this Annual Report, any or all of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate. As a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions could also be incorrect. The forward-looking statements in this Annual Report include, without limitation, statements relating to:

●our goals and strategies;
●our future business development, financial condition and results of operations;
●expected changes in our revenue, costs or expenditure;
●our expectations regarding demand for and market acceptance of our products and services;
●competition in our industry; and
●government policies and regulations relating to our industry.

The forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about our businesses and business environments. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance. Actual results of our operations may differ materially from information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of risk factors, some of which are described under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” “Information on our Company” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Such risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Annual Report include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. The forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report speak only as of the date of this Annual Report or, if obtained from third-party studies or reports, the date of the corresponding study or report, and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this Annual Report. Since we operate in an emerging and evolving environment and new risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Except as otherwise required by the securities laws of the United States, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Annual Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
