RM1.5m had been paid to MR for the LMP pursuant to the MR Agreement of which RM500,000 had been expensed out in the financial statements for 2014.

 

 

2)   Steps or proposed steps to be taken by the Board of Directors of Ire-Tex Corporation Berhad to address the issues raised by the external auditor.
