receivable aging analysis at page 43 shows MYR30,278,889 was within 3 months
aging from invoice date. Revise to clarify whether such a significant amount of sales
incurred in the last quarter of 2024 while total 2024 revenue was MYR40,860,882.
Please expand your disclosure to describe the underlying reasons for such increase,
including impacts from new customers or existing customers, changes in volume
versus price, purchased or home grown for sales of fresh produce, as well as
management's considerations for any known trend or uncertainties for investors to
expect in future sales growth.
3.Please describe the reason for the increase in consulting fees included in the cost of
revenue, and explain the lower gross margin in fiscal year 2024 although you
reported higher sales. You also reported MYR16,838,559 for vegetable costs, which
increased 18 fold compared to a ten fold sales growth of fresh produce. Describe the
reasons for such increase in vegetable costs, including the impact of purchased
vegetables on your margin.

Critical Accounting Estimates, page 47
5.You determined that there were no critical accounting estimates, while also stating
that some of your accounting policies require a higher degree of judgement. In that
regard, please explain why you no longer consider the estimates related to expected
credit loss on trade receivables, revenue recognition for construction in progress, the
valuation of redeemable preference shares and the interest rate used to measure lease
liabilities to be critical accounting estimates. Critical accounting estimates are
intended to supplement, not duplicate, the description of accounting policies or other
disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. Refer to Item 303(b)(3) of
Regulation S-K and SEC Release No. 33-8350.
