Management Comments

  • Management believes the existing shareholder or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company's obligations as they become due.
  • Management concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, the company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

Industry Context

Comparison to Industry Standards

  • The company's performance is significantly below industry standards, particularly in revenue generation and profitability.
  • Many technology companies, especially those in the ICT sector, are experiencing growth, while SEATech Ventures Corp. is facing a decline.
  • The company's negative cash flow and increasing losses are not typical for established companies in the technology sector.
