DescriptionMTOUCHE TECHNOLOGY BERHAD ("mTouche" or THE COMPANY")
- Transactions carried out between Mobile Touchetek Sdn Bhd (“MTSB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of mTouche and Pearl Legend International Limited (“PLIL”)

The Board of Directors of mTouche wishes to announce that there are possible financial irregularities pertaining to operating expenditure transactions entered into between MTSB, a wholly owned subsidiary of mTouche and PLIL, a third party, from February 2009 to October 2010 amounting to RM6.3 million. The transactions were related to the provision by PLIL of a “quality database for data-mining and marketing of MTSB's services” to users in Malaysia as well as to send out SMSes to the Database (“Database and SMS Services”).

Triggering event

Following the resignation of two members of the Board of Directors in 2012, the Board of Directors was made aware of vide an anonymous letter dated 26 November 2013 addressed to the Audit Committee Chairman, Mr Yeap Teik Pung, that there may be inconsistencies in the transactions carried out between MTSB and PLIL.

The Board of Directors instructed the Management of mTouche to conduct an internal investigation on its records with regards to PLIL and the Database and SMS Services which was concluded in February 2014. The internal investigation revealed that there are no records showing that PLIL had provided any of the Database and SMS Services as stated in the Service Agreement entered into between MTSB and PLIL.

The Board of Directors then appointed PKF Advisory Sdn. Bhd. (“PKFA”) on 17 June 2014 to carry out a special audit to assess the nature and circumstances of the said transactions, perform a review of supporting documentation relating to the transactions and perform system checks to determine the veracity of the said transactions.

Findings of PKFA

On 8 January 2015, PKFA submitted their final report to the Board of Directors. PKFA concluded that the veracity of the payments made to PLIL is highly questionable and there are indications of irregularities, discrepancies, inconsistencies and anomalies in the accounting records and supporting documents with significant payments made to PLIL, whose veracity is suspicious and cannot be reasonably ascertained.

A summary of the findings is as follows:

1. Inconsistencies in the payment control process of MTSB pertaining to payments made to PLIL;

2. Non-disclosure of details of the transactions to senior management;

3. Override of controls and policy and procedures;

4. No corresponding sales traced to the services provided by PLIL;

5. Irregularities noted from the review of the contract entered into between MTSB and PLIL; and

6. Uncertainty of the identity of PLIL from the company searches.

Financial Impact

The Board of Directors is of the view that as the RM6.3 million Operating Expenses has been fully accounted for in the financial years ended 31 December 2009 and 2010, there will be no material impact to the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2014.

Follow up actions

The Board of Directors have, amongst others, taken the following measures and/or steps to safeguard the best interests of mTouche and its shareholders:-

1. Lodge a police report which was done on 13 January 2015;

2. Seek legal advice on the possible courses of action mTouche can take to recover the losses; and

3. Review the current internal control processes to ensure that similar transactions will not recur.

The Board of Directors could not make any announcement earlier as it did not have sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegations and to assess with certainty the financial and operational impact to mTouche.

This announcement is dated 13 January 2015

SubjectPUBLIC SHAREHOLDINGS SPREAD
DescriptionHONG LEONG CAPITAL BERHAD ("HLCB" OR THE "COMPANY")

Status Announcement on Compliance with the Required Public Shareholding Spread

We refer to the announcement dated 3 December 2014 where the Company informed that it has applied to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) for approval of a lower public spread of 18.67% and, alternatively, for a further extension of time of 6 months to comply with the 25% public shareholding spread requirement (“Application”).

HLCB writes to inform that Bursa Securities had vide its letter dated 13 January 2015 resolved to reject the Application, after taking into consideration the following:

1. HLCB has not been able to identify and demonstrate that there is a concrete/definitive plan put in place or to be put in place to rectify the shortfall in the public shareholding spread despite having been granted a total of 21 months extension of time from 28 February 2013 until 30 November 2014 to address the shortfall; and

2. The objective of the public shareholding spread requirement under the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities (“Listing Requirements”) is to ensure there is sufficient market liquidity to facilitate the buying and selling of the shares in an orderly manner. The lack of trading liquidity in HLCB shares during the period of non-compliance renders the prices of HLCB shares susceptible to significant price movement arising from trading by a small group of investors.

In this regard, Bursa Securities had in the past issued 2 Unusual Market Action queries and on both occasions, HLCB confirmed that it was not aware of any corporate development relating to the HLCB Group’s business and affairs or any other possible explanation that could account for the unusual trading activities. Further to that, Bursa Securities had also issued a Market Alert advising investors to exercise caution and to make informed decision in the trading of HLCB shares in view of the sharp rise in the price of HLCB shares.

Bursa Securities had also vide another letter dated 13 January 2015 required the Company to show cause by making a written representation within 5 market days as to why Bursa Securities should not find the Company in breach of Paragraph 8.02(1) of the Listing Requirements and impose one or more penalites including suspension of the trading of the Company’s securities pursuant to Paragraph 16.19(1) of the Listing Requirements.

This announcement is dated 13 January 2015.
