    Why This Result Matters

    The View Condominium, Gelugor: MyReno preparation followed by MyRoom room-rental management, as business-reported. The supplied extraction of the August 2026 company-issued statement records RM4,800 gross rental collection, a 15% management fee of RM720 and RM4,080 after that fee. Listed deductions total RM962.35, including the RM575 renovation instalment (20/60), leaving an August 2026 statement balance after management fee and listed deductions of RM3,117.65. Seven of seven rooms were shown occupied that month. The instalment is already included, not deducted again. This is not recurring net profit, a bank-confirmed payout or profit after every ownership cost.

    Basis: The View v1.0, prepared 20 October 2026, supplies an extraction of the August company-issued statement. This project uses that extraction; it has not opened the original August statement. The original May statement is uninspected for v1.0.

    Repayment, Handover and August Statement

    Statement extraction and the business-reported repayment schedule. The renovation counterpart is on the MyReno case study.

    Repayment schedule

    RM34,500

    Business-reported repayment schedule: RM34,500, expressed as RM575 × 60 instalments. This does not establish the cash renovation price, financed principal, final invoice or total project expenditure.

    Company-issued statement figures supplied as an extraction, not independently audited returns. A statement balance is not proof of bank payout or profit after every ownership cost. August and May are separate reporting periods, not recurring income, current occupancy, averages, forecasts, uplift or payback.

    Separate May 2026 history

    Separate business-reported May 2026 history: RM4,450 collection, 6 of 7 rooms occupied and RM3,526.72 reported statement balance. A calculated 15% fee is RM667.50; the remaining RM255.78 difference is unallocated, not a verified expense breakdown. August deductions are not applied to May.

    Basis: The View v1.0, prepared 20 October 2026, supplies an extraction of the August company-issued statement. This project uses that extraction; it has not opened the original August statement. The original May statement is uninspected for v1.0.

    The August instalment is already included in the RM962.35 listed deductions and is not deducted again. The repayment schedule does not establish renovation price or total expenditure. Current cleaning and month-end arrangements do not rewrite historical expenses.
