PETALING JAYA: Datasonic Group Bhd announced a change in the scope of works in a contract awarded by the Home Ministry in December 2015 for the supply of 12.5 million Malaysian passport chips for RM318.75 million.
In a Bursa filing this afternoon, Datasonic said it had accepted a letter of change of scope from the Home Ministry dated Jan 23, with no change to the contract sum.
The duration of the contract will also remain the same, running from Dec 1, 2016 to Nov 30, 2021.
Under the new contract, the total quantity of passport chips to be supplied would be reduced from 12.5 million chips to 11 million chips, amounting to RM280.5 million.
“A new scope of works would be included for the maintenance services for hardware and software of autogate and chips and the maintenance services for equipment and application of public key infrastructure and public key directory, amounting to RM38.25 million,” it said.
Datasonic also said the previous contract had been contributing positively towards the earnings and net assets per share of the group since the commencement of the contract on Dec 1, 2016 and the financial years thereafter.
“The new scope of works is expected to contribute positively towards the future earnings and net assets per share of Datasonic Group for the financial year ending March 31, 2020 and the financial years thereafter for the duration of the contract,” it said.
