The group said its wholly-owned subsidiary, Exsim Concepto Sdn Bhd (ECSB), received the letter of award from Discovery Media Sdn Bhd for the subcontract under a project involving the development of 560 office units. 

The subcontract, which has a completion period of 24 months, is expected to positively impact its future net assets, earnings and gearing, said the group in a filing with the stock exchange.
