According to Securemetric's stock exchange filing today, the group's revenue was derived from the provision of digital security solutions, the trading of electronic identification products, as well as the provision of other related services.  

For the cumulative nine months (9MFY18), it recorded a net profit of RM1.04 million on revenue of RM19.64 million.

On prospects, Securemetric said the group plans to expand the group’s regional offices as the group focuses on growing in Southeast Asia by increasing sales and marketing activities.

It also plans to continue to develop new digital security solutions to maintain the group’s growth and sustainability in the industry.

“In line with previous years, our results recorded improvements in the third quarter when compared with the first half of the year. We are confident of delivering positive results for the full financial year 2018. The IPO will provide us with a much-needed booster for expansion and we are optimistic about 2019 with digitalization driving the need for security solutions to counter cyber threats across our key markets in Southeast Asia,” said Securemetrics chief executive officer Edward Law Seeh Key in a statement.
