Reference NoCM-130222-67358

DescriptionBINA GOODYEAR BERHAD ("BGB" or "The Company")
ISSUANCE OF INVESTIGATIVE AUDIT REPORT BY PKF ADVISORY SDN BHD

The current executive directors had joined BGB and its subsidiary and associated companies (“BGB Group”) in December 2011.

In an emergency Board of Directors (“BOD”) meeting held on 19 November 2012, the Senior General Manager, Finance in charge of the accounts of the Group informed the BOD that almost RM30 million of the Work-in-Progress (“WIP”) balances is not billable and chargeable to the customers and that the Group would need to make a provision for this amount.

Prior to the Emergency BOD meeting held on 19 November 2012, the BOD were not aware of such significant unrecoverable WIP as the Senior General Manager, Finance, had not previously brought this matter to their attention.

The Investigative Audit Report was then commissioned by BGB on 19 November 2012, following allegations of, amongst others, irregularities in the Company’s accounts which were brought to the attention of the BOD.

THE FINDINGS

According to the Investigative Review Report, the key areas of financial irregularities pertaining to the BGB Group identified are as below:

1) WIP account balances

The WIP account balances were found to have included unrecoverable WIP from past projects into the current projects, in accordance with confessions of the Senior General Manager, Finance, thus rendering the reliability of the WIP related financial records as not possible.

The analysis of the WIP Schedule confirmed several discrepancies, indicating that the schedule was not prepared in accordance with the percentage of completion method required by the accounting standards and that the figures stated in the WIP Schedule neither correspond to the figures extracted from the GL nor the figures provided by the project staff. These discrepancies were also not highlighted by the external auditors.

The profits and operation cash flows also showed a significant disconnect from FYE 2005 to FYE 2008.

2) Puncak Capai Sdn Bhd (“PCSB”)

PCSB is a major supplier of building materials to the BGB Group and was a related party to the BGB Group through the spouse of a previous director of BGB, who was also the director and shareholder of PCSB at the material time. The related party transactions at the time were not disclosed in the Annual Reports or in the Recurrent Related Party Transaction Circulars.

Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”) had enquired into the PCSB transactions in 2011 and a special review was conducted by the internal auditors. The report was provided to Bursa Malaysia in February 2012.

Whilst no irregularities were found on PCSB transactions in that items ordered were delivered, it was noted in the special review by the internal auditor, that certain orders were placed with PCSB without price or other comparisons.

Our analysis however does not show any direct material benefit arising to the related parties.

3) Contra Properties

It was noted that contra properties sold to Dynamic Reap Sdn Bhd and Lucky Kinetic Sdn Bhd were at a discount from 4.6% to 5.0%. This privilege provided to the 2 shareholders of PCSB was not given to other purchasers, save for 1 transaction with a subcontractor. We nonetheless note that the discount was not substantial.

4) Drawdown of Loans with CIMB and Sabah Development Bank

These loans are project financing loans for the 5 Stone SS2 and Putrajaya 2C10 projects. The review showed no discrepancies other than a change in the drawdown terms of the Sabah Development Bank – Putrajaya 2C10 loan whereby BGB had requested to change the drawdown document from subcontractor claims to its own claims to Putrajaya. The bank did not reply but had allowed drawdowns based on BGB’s own claims to Putrajaya.

5) Advances by Previous Directors

The advances amounting to RM14.2 million in aggregate, and disbursed between 15 December 2010 to 5 December 2011, and although they were recorded under the names of Ang Kar Beng @ Ang Chia Liong and Wong Chee Seng were in effect advances from directors. However, other than non-disclosures, no material financial damages to BGB are noted in this connection.

FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE FINDINGS

The findings showed that the financial position of the BGB Group as at 30 September 2012 has retracted by near to RM90 million from the audited financial statements as at 30 June 2012. This sum was noted to have arisen mainly from the write off of unrecoverable WIP, impairment of bad debts, additional costs to complete and the provisions for LAD, some of which pertain to prior years and should have been written off in those prior years.

NEXT STEPS

The Board of Directors will seek the advice of the Company’s legal advisors on the next course of action to be taken.
