KBB - OTHERS KBB Resources Berhad ("KBB" or "the Company") - Completion of Investigative Audit Report by CHI-LLTC

Reference NoCC-130315-65233

SubjectOTHERS
DescriptionKBB Resources Berhad ("KBB" or "the Company")
- Completion of Investigative Audit Report by CHI-LLTC

Reference is made to the Company's announcement dated 30 August 2012, 4 September 2012, 30 November 2012 and 3 December 2012 respectively, particularly announcement dated 4 September 2012 which stated that after the release of KBB’s quarterly announcement for period ended 31 March 2012 on 31 May 2012, Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd (“Bursa Malaysia”) has expressed their concerns in relation to the high trade receivable and inventory turnover periods. Bursa Malaysia’s concern was escalated to KBB’s Board of Directors which had decided to appoint Messrs CHI–LLTC on 9 July 2012 to conduct a limited review to investigate the matter. After Messrs CHI-LLTC has clarified the possible reasons leading the proposed write-off amounts for both trade receivables and inventories in their report, the Board had further decided to appoint Messrs CHI-LLTC to conduct an investigation audit on 30 August 2012.

The Board of Directors of KBB wishes to announce that the Report of the Investigative Audit on Trade Receivables, Inventories & Property, Plant & Equipment of the Company and its Subsidiary Companies has been completed and presented to the Board.

The key findings of the Report are as follows: -

i) Trade Receivables

The bad debts written off during the financial period 30 June 2012 amounted to RM32,219,449.00 were due to long outstanding trade debtors for more than 11 months. From the third parties’ circularization, it noted that majority of the trade debtors do not agree with that amount of outstanding figures and some of them replied that they do not have any outstanding amount with Kilang Bihun Bersatu Sdn Bhd (“KBBSB”). Based on the analysis, it believe that all these long outstanding debtors are fictitious amount and caused by the fictitious sale invoices generated for drawing sale Banker Acceptances (“BAs”) from the banks.

KBBSB’s “Previous Management” does not have appropriate collection system for its trade debtors, especially for those long outstanding debtors, and two types of billing system were implemented on KBBSB trade debtors. Most of the long outstanding balances derived from one of the billing system, which create doubt on the existence of the debtors and indirectly raise the issue of possible injection of revenue.

KBBSB’s “Previous Management” does not have appropriate cash control system for monitoring its cash position. All money collected and payment made are recorded in CASH terms, which create the suspicious of the actual money collected from its debtors and proper payment to its suppliers. There are many irregularities on the cash control system and may create the issue of transferring cash out from the Company.

ii) Inventories

Based on the Inventory Turnover Analysis, it noted that the Group has a very significant inventory turnover period from Financial Year 2008 (“FY 2008”) to Financial Year 2010 (“FY2010”). According to the new management, the Group does not have that available warehouse and/or store to keep all these inventories for FY 2008 to FY 2010. As such this raises the question as to the existence of the inventories during the period from FY 2008 to FY 2010.

The Group had recorded total inventories of approximately RM49Million, RM56 Million and RM31Million as at FY ended 2008 to 2010 respectively. From the analysis work done, it found that keeping of such a huge volume of inventories of sago sticks, sago starch, “beehoon”, “beehoon laksa” or rice vermicelli would require huge storing space equivalent to KBB existing warehouse capacity. Moreover keeping of these huge volumes of inventories will trigger to slow inventories turnover and vulnerable to the KBB’s financial liquidity. This has created a suspicious creation of fictitious inventory records.

iii) Property, Plant & Equipment

Based on the physical assets sighting conducted at both the KBBSB and Rasayang Food Industries Sdn Bhd (“RFI’s”) premises, it noted that the Investigative Auditors are unable to identify or to match the items from the fixed assets listing to the physical assets, mainly for the plant and machinery. This is largely due to most of the plant and machineries are assembled from small parts and components. The Investigative Auditors have interviewed KBBSB’s factory manager and were informed that the manager is unable to match the parts and/or components recorded in the fixed assets listing to the respective plant and machinery.

During the year 2009, it noted that KBBSB has purchased plant and machinery from a supplier from Singapore, and it also noted that KBBSB has settled the invoices by cheques. The Investigative Auditors are unable to verify whether those cheques issued were paid for the plant and machinery purchased as the cash control account and bank account reported “CASH” payment.

During the year 2010, KBBSB purchased 2 units of plant and machinery from a sole proprietor, amounting to RM250,000 in total. From the company search, the sole proprietor ceased operations with effect from 30 March 1999.

Financial Impact

The results and/or findings of the Investigative Audit Report will not have any impact on the financial performance and position of the Group as the new management had took reasonable steps to ensure all ‘non-existence’ and obsolete inventories, and all known bad debts had been written-off during Financial Period EndedPE 30 June 2012. The value of property, plant & equipment had been properly depreciated and impaired to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.

Operational Impact

The results and/or findings of the Investigative Audit Report will not have any impact on the operation of the Group as the new management had took reasonable steps to ensure the Group has good financial reporting system and sound internal control in place.

Documents and records for the review period from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2010 are highly incomplete. The management has lodged various police reports to recover these documents and records, and at the completion of the investigative audit, majority of those documents and records were yet recovered.

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

This announcement is made on 15 March 2013.

TIMWELL - BURSA MALAYSIA SECURITIES PUBLICLY REPRIMANDS TIMBERWELL BERHAD FOR BREACH OF MAIN MARKET LISTING REQUIREMENTS

Announcement Type: Listing Circular
Company NameTIMBERWELL BERHAD  
Stock Name TIMWELL  
Date Announced15 Mar 2013  
CategoryListing Circular
Reference NoUM-130315-62088

LISTING'S CIRCULAR NO. L/Q : 67348 OF 2013

Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Bursa Malaysia Securities) has publicly reprimanded Timberwell Berhad (TIMWELL) for failing to ensure that TIMWELL’s announcement dated 28 February 2012 on the fourth quarterly report for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 (Q4 2011) took into account the adjustments as stated in TIMWELL’s announcement dated 30 April 2012.

The failure to take into account the adjustments was in contravention of paragraph 9.16(1)(a) of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Main Market Listing Requirements (Main LR) where a listed issuer must ensure that each announcement made is factual, clear, unambiguous, accurate, succinct and contains sufficient information to enable investors to make informed investment decisions.

      The public reprimand was imposed pursuant to paragraph 16.19(1) of the Main LR after taking into consideration all facts and circumstances of the matter and upon completion of due process.

TIMWELL is also required to carry out a limited review of its quarterly report submissions. The limited review must be performed by external auditors for four quarterly reports commencing from the quarterly report for the financial period ended 31 March 2013. In addition, TIMWELL must ensure all its directors and relevant personnel attend a training programme on compliance with the Main LR pertaining to financial statements. TIMWELL is also required to review and ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of its financial reporting function.

While Bursa Malaysia Securities has not found any of TIMWELL’s directors to have caused or permitted the breach by TIMWELL, Bursa Malaysia Securities wishes to highlight that it is the duty of the directors to maintain appropriate standards of responsibility and accountability in ensuring compliance of the Main LR. The Board of Directors at the material time were as follows:
      1. YBhg Dato’ Seri Abdul Azim Bin Mohd Zabidi
      2. YB Datuk Mohamad Bin Haji Aziz
      3. Datuk Alladin Bin Mohd Hashim
      4. Datuk Yap Pak Leong
      5. Lam Soei Tin @ Agnes Lam
      6. Sui Diong Hoe

Bursa Malaysia Securities views the contravention seriously and has reminded TIMWELL and its Board of Directors of their obligation to uphold appropriate standards of responsibility and accountability to shareholders and the investing public.

BACKGROUND

TIMWELL reported an unaudited loss after taxation and minority interest of RM362,000 in TIMWELL’s Q4 2011, compared to an audited loss after taxation and minority interest of RM2,259,000 in TIMWELL’s annual audited accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 (AAA 2011) which was announced on 30 April 2012. The variance of RM1,897,000 between the unaudited and audited results represented a deviation of 524%.
      The deviation was mainly due to provision of depreciation charges arising from the reversal of TIMWELL’s subsidiary’s assets from non-current asset held for sale to property plant and equipment in the AAA 2011. TIMWELL had failed to discharge its obligation to ensure that the Q4 2011 complied with paragraph 9.16(1)(a) of the Main LR particularly in the light of the communication by the external auditors to TIMWELL (i.e. prior to the issuance of the Q4 2011) that the assets which had been classified to non-current asset held for sale did not fulfil the accounting standard and recommended that the non-current asset held for sale to be reclassified back to property, plant and equipment and to account for the depreciation charges in the financial statements for the year ended 2011.
