Dear all,
Just received the below JAKS reply yesterday. If you are in my shoe what and how should you response?
 
Dear Mr Lee
Referring to your email dated 29 April 2021, please find below the answers to your questions. 
 
Thanks.
 
Question 1
Refer proposed disposal announcement dated: 29 September 2020.
2.5 Liabilities to be assumed
Save for the obligations arising from or pursuant to the SPA, there are no other liabilities, including contingent liabilities and/or guarantees to be assumed by JRB and its group of companies (“JRB Group”) pursuant to the Proposed Disposal.
 
4.3 Earnings and earnings per share (“EPS”)
The Proposed Disposal is expected to contribute positively to the consolidated earnings and EPS of JRB for the FYE 31 December 2020.
JRB Group is expected to realise a gain of approximately RM71.89 million from the Proposed Disposal against the audited NL of JIC as at FYE 31 December 2019 of approximately RM140.95 million, the details of which are as follows:-
 
And email reply by JAKS IR dated: 3th Nov 2020
Dear Mr. Lee,
Please see our replies in red below 
Question 4: Please explain how JIC will settle this RM35.4 m with JAKS? Any amounts owing by JIC is to be settled in the ordinary course of business
 
From Q3 and Q4 financial report:
Allowance for doubtful debts/Allowance for impairment of receivables:
Quarter 3: 9 months end 30 Sept 2020: RM 45,520,000
Quarter 4: 12 months end 30 Dec 2020: RM 69,507,000
 
Reading the proposed disposal and reply given by JAK IR, I was led into believing that RM35.4 million or whatever JIC owes JAKS will be settled by ICD when ICD holds 100% equity of JIC post disposal. But now you are saying: If you read the Q3 announcement, you will note that it has already included the impairments then. The impairment had already been previously provided by Jaks company level in 2019. In this case why the proposed disposal  announcement dated: 29 September 2020 nothing was mentioned on inter-company amount owing by JIC to JAKS will be written off as bad debt?
 
Answer
Your statement that you were led to belief anything at all is wrong. We have repeatedly answered that the JIC debt is an interco owing by JIC and not ICD.  It was never mentioned that ICD will repay JIC debts.  The impairment was not due to the disposal. The truth is that despite our explanations you have chosen to misinterpret and manipulate the facts entirely on your own accord, fancy and personal agenda. 
 
 
Question 2
I refer to your answer: Wrong. JIC was a 51% subsidiary of JAKS Group. The amount is an inter-company amount owing by JIC to JAKS and not ICD’s liabilities.
Are you saying the disposal of JSB 51% equity in JIC (Net liabilities of RM174.4 million) to ICD for consideration of RM 1.00 and post disposal even though JIC became wholly owned company of ICD but the Net liabilities of RM174.4 million is not ICD’s liabilities and ICD did not take over the assets and liabilities of JIC? If this is the fact then what is SPA (Sale and Purchase agreement) for?
 
Answer
Correct. Finally you got it. The SPA is for the sale of the JIC Shares. 
 
 
Question 3
I refer your answer: ICD is merely a 49% equity shareholder in JIC, there is no legal obligation for it to unilaterally recapitalize or to pay the JIC debt:
April 02, 2013 03:23 am
KUALA LUMPUR: Jaks Resources Bhd is acquiring a controlling 51% stake in privately owned property developer MNH Global Assets Management Sdn Bhd for RM93.2 million. The acquisition will enable Jaks to immediately gain access to MNH’s on-going mixed development project known as Pacific Place @ Ara Damansara in Petaling Jaya, which has an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM938.31 million.MNH, which began developing the property in December 2010, is expected to complete it next year. The three-phase development consists of apartment buildings, shop offices, a retail complex and college accommodation. In a statement to Bursa Malaysia yesterday, Jaks said the purchase of the MNH stake is through its wholly owned subsidiary Harbour Town Sdn Bhd. The vendor is Island Circle Development (M) Sdn Bhd. Island Circle, whose two major shareholders are Chen Cheong Fat (65%) and Rasli Musamah (35%), owns 49% of Jaks Island Circle Sdn Bhd.
 
From above news JAKS paid RM 93.2 million for 51% MNH from vendor ICD http://www.islandcircle.com.my/
and JIC was incorporated in Malaysia on 9 October 2009 under the Companies Act, 1965 as a private limited company and is principally involved in property development. JIC is a 51%-owned subsidiary of JSB and the remaining 49% equity interest is held by ICD with paid up capital of RM 1 million to take up the Star Pacific mixed -development project. 
From your answer: ICD is merely a 49% equity shareholder in JIC, there is no legal obligation for it to unilaterally recapitalize or to pay the JIC debt.
Are you legally implied ICD as merely 49% equity shareholder of JIC will share 49% profit of JIC if JIC made profit but if JIC made losses ICD has no legal obligation to recapitalize JIC and bear the 49% losses?
 
Answer
We do not legally imply anything here for you to misinterpret or manipulate. Again we wish to reiterate that It is not our responsibility here to educate you about legal and accounting matters.  However, what we can say in short is that JIC is a separate legal entity from ICD. That should be sufficient to answer your questions already or you should have ought to know as an investor yourself. 
 
 
Question 4
I applaud JAKS for making a claim against The Star for an amount of RM 248,242,987.62 to be paid to JIC as liquidated and ascertained damages. Of which Star had made a counterclaim.
My question is whose faults in (LAD) incurred around RM170m (accumulated since 4Q2016) due to the late delivery of both the residential and office units in the Pacific Star project. Should JAKS take legal action against contractors or any party responsible for the long delay since Q4 2016 in handing over the residential units in the Pacific Star project to purchasers? (Note: Resident units had nothing to do with Star claim and counterclaim)
 
Answer
Rest assured that if there were any legal grounds for JIC to take any legal action against any other liable party, that would have been done already. Furthermore, as mentioned, JAKS has since disposed all its shares in JIC, and as such, it is not for JAKS to take any further action if any at all. We have explained this to you many times. 
 
 
Question 5
And by the way if a claim against The Star for an amount of RM 248,242,987.62 to be paid to JIC as liquidated and ascertained damages is successful. May I know since JIC is now a wholly owned company of ICD on 29 September 2020, hence do JAKS still has legal status/rights to share the 51% of RM 248,242,987.62 from JIC?
 
Answer
JAKS is a co-plaintiff in the legal suit against the STAR for damages claims. Please refer to previous announcement dated 31 May 2019.
 
Regards
JAKS IR
 
Update my response:
email on : 27 Apr 2021, 21.33
Dear Sandra Tan,
Thank you very much for taking your time to answer my questions. I have no more questions to ask since you already made up your mind with prejudiced mindset that I have “chosen to misinterpret and manipulate the facts entirely on your own accord, fancy and personal agenda” When my only agenda is to hold JAKS Board/Management answerable, accountable and responsible in order to protect the interest of the Company.
 
Dear SC and Bursa,
The tone and the contents of IR answers to my questions imply that I am incompetent in legal and accounting jargons to understand the basic accounting and legal implication stated in the proposed disposal announcement dated: 29 September on the disposal of JSB 51% equity in JIC to ICD for consideration of RM1.00. When the fact is salient features of SPA were not included in the proposed disposal announcement. And subsequent confusing/misleading/manipulated financial statement Q3 (Net profit of RM 101,786,000 and Net profit to shareholder: RM 26,746,000) and Q4 (Net profit of RM negative 199,536,000 and Net profit to shareholder: RM negative 103,188,000
 
I refer to SC 2020 annual report: In 2020, the SC continued its efforts to facilitate the establishment of an independent wholly-owned Bursa Regulatory Subsidiary (Bursa RegSub) to assume the regulatory functions currently undertaken by Bursa Malaysia. The establishment of the Bursa RegSub was announced in February 2020. Efforts were made to put in place the necessary governance structure and regulations, and facilitate amendments to Bursa Malaysia’s rules to support the functions at the Bursa RegSub.
 
I am sure Bursa has professional legal and accounting teams to carry out the regulatory functions thus I appeal to SC and Bursa to investigate JAKS Board to ascertain whether they have:
1.     Committed an offence of furnishing false or misleading financial statements to Bursa Malaysia under section 354(3)(f)(ii) of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 (CMSA) on disposal of JSB 51% equity in JIC to ICD for consideration of RM1.00?
2.     Committed an offence under Companies Act 2016: Section 213: (1) A director of a company shall at all times exercise his powers in accordance with this Act, for a proper purpose and in good faith in the best interest of the company. For not taking any legal action against any other liable party (LAD of hundred over millions accumulated since 4Q2016) in late delivery of residential units to purchasers. Quote,” Rest assured that if there were any legal grounds for JIC to take any legal action against any other liable party, that would have been done already. Furthermore, as mentioned, JAKS has since disposed all its shares in JIC, and as such, it is not for JAKS to take any further action if any at all. We have explained this to you many times” unquote
3.     Committed an offence under CAPITAL MARKETS AND SERVICES ACT 2007 by fraudulently writing off the JIC intercompany debt that benefited ICD at the expense of the company. Quote, “We have repeatedly answered that the JIC debt is an interco owing by JIC and not ICD.  It was never mentioned that ICD will repay JIC debts” unquote
 
It is now up to Bursa to use its regulatory functions to initiate query to JAKS to furnish Bursa Securities with the detailed information:
1.     To  provide the salient features of the SPA (Sale and Purchase Agreement) on disposal of JSB 51% equity in JIC to ICD for consideration of RM1.00
2.     Refer Q4 12 months end 30 Dec 2020 allowance for doubtful debts/Allowance for impairment of receivables: RM 69,507,000. To provide the names of debtors, amounts owed reasons for the debts and any specific action taken to recover the debts.
3.     Any other information Bursa required in facilitating the investigation.
 
I refer to: On 6 October 2020, the Company awarded 19,945,000 ordinary shares (“LTIP shares”) under the Restricted Share Plan (“RSP”) to selected employees / executives of the Company and book Restricted Share plan ("RSP") expenses: RM 17,053,000.
Will SC and Bursa legal teams look into conflict of interest and invalid/null and void current practices of RSP free grants which result in company booking losses as expenses (clearly is not in the best interest of the company) thus in breach of Companies Act 2016: Section 213: (1) A director of a company shall at all times exercise his powers in accordance with this Act, for a proper purpose and in good faith in the best interest of the company.
 
Thank you
Best Regards
Lee Soon Sheng

I only hold 2,000 JAKS. I just want to prove a point you do not need to be like KYY holding 30% of JAKS at one time and still can't do anything to hold JAKS Board/Management answerable, accountable and responsible in order to protect the interest of the Company.

All the matters you raised are of interests to JAKS auditor UHY

"impairment of receivables: RM 69,507,000" is highly unusual XINQUAN in the making?

Sslee, u seem to be very involved and interested to find wrongdoing by JAKS' Board, which is commendable.

But what made u so interested to do so, with just owning 2000 shares? for the sake of justice or previously u have been burnt and now it's time for revenge?

2021-05-08 17:48

Just a sense of injustics that KYY was played out when he and his PAC has abt 30% and can simply call an EGM to vote in his nominees into the Board.

If that had happen then this LAD of over hundred million and fishy deal will not had happen and JAKS will be bynow another MFCB in the making.

2021-05-08 19:50

Or maybe a guilty feeling that I actually make some small profit when KYY push up the JAKS price.

Sslee,

U never come out to stop ppl from harassing others; but after damages done, U will come out to ask victims to forgive. U never put yourself in victim's shoes to think how they feel when the damages might not be able to rectify forever, which would mean, the victims have to suffer the rest of their lives. By doing so, U are encourage more harassing behavior in the future, after all the culprit will be forgiven later.

I like your attitude of making friends, not enemies.

But spending so much effort to engage with such companies is a waste of your precious time.

You might as well engage more often with companies of calibre. Companies that genuinely care for you. Companies that truly treasure its shareholders.

Who need an enemy when you have friend like scenery.

By the way there is a saying never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. But if you don't do it, who else going to do it.

Time is relative and you can always make time to do things that you like, a small step that bring some common good for all.

Everyone should invest in good company that genuinely care for shareholders but unfortunately there are not many such companies in Bursa that are fairly price.

3. It expect to declare dividend of 2 to 3 sen.
4. It hold more than 16% of Inari thats is equivalent to 800 shares of Inari for every 1000 insas u hold .
5. Insas has a net cash exceeding Rm 560m or 80 sen cash per share.
6. Insas has shown very strong earnings growth.
7. Insas benefited from very strong presence in the technology 5G area plus the financial sector of stockbroking, investment banking & lending and advisory area.
