TAANN - WITHDRAWAL OF CHINA PROJECT

Announcement Type: General Announcement
Company Name: TA ANN HOLDINGS BERHAD
Stock Name: TAANN
Date Announced: 04/08/2010

Announcement Detail:
Type: Announcement

Subject: WITHDRAWAL OF CHINA PROJECT

Contents: The Board of Directors of Ta Ann Holdings Berhad ("Ta Ann" or the "Company") wishes to announce that Ta Ann has notified the Chinese authorities of its intention to withdraw from investing in Yang Zhou, China.

In 2008, the Company incorporated Ta Ann Eco-Timber Industries Pty Ltd ("TAET") planning to set up a plywood mill in Yang Zhou, China, for processing and supplying eco container flooring to China market. Due to the impact of global financial crisis, the plywood market in China was adversely affected, which made it not feasible to proceed with the plywood mill project.

An initial downsizing proposal on further review has been replaced by a total withdrawal decision of the China venture as the container flooring market is not expected to be conducive for the establishment of a plywood mill in the short to medium term.

The Company has invested a total USD 4 million in the China project mainly for the purchase of land and machineries for the plywood mill.

The Chinese authorities has approved our earlier application to return partially the land purchased in line with our downsizing proposal. We are now applying to the authorities,

(1) to return to them the remaining land,
(2) to return the machineries back to mill in Malaysia for own use, and
(3) to repatriate back to Malaysia the bank balance (RMB 4,721,523 as at 30 June 2010) and proceeds from land returned to the Chinese authorities.

Thereafter, winding up of TAET would be initiated.

Assuming that the Chinese authorities would take back the land at the original purchase cost, only marginal loss would be expected in relation to the withdrawal of China project, in addition to the loss of RM1.469 million which has been taken up in the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009.

Since the contribution from the China subsidiary is relatively small, the withdrawal of China venture will not have any material impact on the Group operation, earnings, net assets or gearing of Ta Ann Group, as can be seen from the following financial information based on audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009:

KK is the technology partner for the Ingress Group.

2.3 Liabilities Assumed by KK

Subsequent to the Divestment, KK will emerge with a 31.4% equity shareholding in IAV and, as such, will only assume the liabilities of IAV limited by its shareholdings.

2.4 Basis of Arriving at the Sales Consideration

The Consideration of THB66,710,512 (or equivalent to RM6.9 million based on the exchange rate as at 31 January 2010) was arrived at on a willing buyer-willing seller basis based on the unaudited net tangible assets ("NTA") per share of IAV as at 31 January 2010.

2.5 Cost of Investment and Gain/Loss on Disposal

The cost of investment in IAV in the Sale Shares by IPSB was THB26.9 million or RM2.8 million.

For illustrative purposes, based on the audited consolidated results of the Ingress Group for the financial year ended 31 January 2010, the Divestment will result in a loss on disposal of RM0.24 million. At the company level, however, the Divestment will result in RM4.2 million gain in disposal for IPSB based on audited 31 January 2010 results.

2.6 Salient Terms of the SPA

IAV supply components to major international automakers operating in Thailand such as Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Mazda, Ford, General Motors. The Thailand automotive industry has evolved to be the hub both for domestic assembly as well as global supplier for parts and components.
