Query 1

To quantify “additional cost incurred on a specific project”.

Response

We are unable to disclose the quantum at this point in time as it may jeopardize the ongoing investigation and any legal proceedings that are being initiated. We are also in the process of recoveries and expect there will be a write back sometime in 2015 pending finalisation of the investigation.

The overall additional costs incurred on this project are mainly due to acceleration of works and general increase in construction related costs and costs related to Variation Orders to the original scope of works.

Based on our internal investigation, the Board had firmly emphasised that all costs relating to the particular project and thus to the financial results of the Group, have been fully accounted for in the Company's books. With the information at hand, we are confident that moving forward, no further provisions for costs are required beyond what was reported as at 27th February 2014 with regards to Mudajaya Group financial results for the year ended 31st December 2014. The information thus far suggests clearly that the issue is confined to an isolated case involving one former employee and is restricted to one of our projects only.

Aspects of the investigations are still on-going.

Query 2

To provide name and description of the specific project undertaken by the Group.

Response

We do not have many ongoing projects and by providing the name of the project, it is likely to jeopardize the ongoing investigation process, and therefore we wish to maintain confidentiality. In addition, we are also in the midst of finalising the overall “Variation Orders “claims with the clients.

Query 3

To specify the nature or type of “irregular transactions” that took place in the project.

Response

The irregular transactions uncovered during the internal investigation were due to inaccurate billings and payment of project claims, by a former employee. The Board has referred this matter to the relevant authorities and has obtained legal advice on our next course of action. In addition, the Board has commissioned an international audit firm to assist with this matter.

Query 4

To also quantify the financial impact that has been adequately accounted for in the Group’s 4th quarter results for financial period ended 31st December 2014.

Response

The Board had emphasised firmly that all costs relating to the particular project so far as we have established, the inaccurate or improper project claims were all paid for, thus fully accounted in the Company's books as at 31st December 2014. On this basis, the Board believes no further provision is required to be made for the subject matter. The Board has commissioned an international audit firm and legal consultants to validate the findings of the Work Group.
