Meridian's auditor raises doubts over company's ability to go on as a business entity
NST Wed, Apr 10, 2024 12:32pm - 1 hour
KUALA LUMPUR: Meridian Bhd's auditor have raised concerns regarding the continued viability of Meridian Bhd as a business entity.
In its recent filing with Bursa Malaysia, the property developer's external auditor, Messrs Jamal, Amin & Partners, issued a disclaimer of opinion on the group's annual audited financial statements for the period spanning from July 1, 2022, to Nov 30, 2023.
The auditors pointed out a lack of compelling evidence to support the directors' claim that it can sustain its operations.
Despite Meridian's financial statements assuming ongoing operations, a range of significant uncertainties, such as recurring losses, inadequate cash reserves, legal proceedings, and regulatory hurdles, cast doubt on the validity of this assumption.
The auditors highlighted that over the past three financial years, both the group and the company have incurred substantial net losses. Meridian reported a net loss of RM17.27 million, while the company's net loss reached RM90.98 million, raising concerns about the company's financial health and sustainability.
Negative indicators such as current liabilities exceeding current assets by RM4.935 million were also highlighted in the financial statements.
Furthermore, the group's cash reserves are alarmingly low, with bank overdrafts exceeding the credit limits granted by financial institutions.
Significant tax liabilities totaling RM4.56 million, along with RM4.89 million in tax penalties from the previous financial year, have also been noted. Legal action has been initiated by tax authorities to recover these balances, but the proceedings remain ongoing and unresolved.
"We have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in respect of the estimates and assumptions made in the cash flow projections prepared by the management. Accordingly, we are unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the validity of the going concern assumptions adopted by the directors in preparing the financial statements of the group and of the company," the auditors said.
Meanwhile, the auditors highlighted that certain investment properties and inventories, collectively referred to as "the properties," with a total carrying amount of RM50.43 million, representing 28 per cent of the total assets of the group, are still registered under a former subsidiary company, despite its disposal.
The transfer of titles for these properties to the group has not been completed, complicating matters further due to the former subsidiary's winding-up process, the auditors said.
"Included in the term loans of the group is an amount of RM2.974 million, where we were unable to confirm the amount and the existence of the term loan, and we were unable to obtain any other audit evidence relating to the accuracy and the existence of the term loan.
"Accordingly, we are unable to determine whether potential adjustments are necessary, if any, and whether the group is obliged to settle the term loan," they said.
The auditors added that the combined impact of these factors casts significant uncertainties regarding Meridian's ability to continue operating.
Meridian has been classified as a Practice Note 17 (PN17) company, having triggered the PN17 criteria of the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia due to its minimal operational activity.
The developer has expressed its intention to formulate a regularisation plan to address its PN17 status, while Bursa Malaysia said it will continue monitoring the company's progress in complying with the Main Market listing requirements.

Bursa Malaysia (the stock exchange), the Securities Commission (SC), and minority watchdog groups like the Minority Shareholder Watchdog Group (MSWG) can collaborate in several ways to enhance corporate governance and protect minority shareholders' interests:
1. **Regulatory Framework**: The SC can provide a robust regulatory framework that encourages transparency and fairness in the market. This includes enforcing regulations that require companies to disclose material information promptly and accurately.
2. **Monitoring and Enforcement**: Bursa Malaysia can monitor listed companies for compliance with listing requirements, while the SC can take enforcement actions against companies that violate securities laws. Meanwhile, watchdog groups can keep an eye on corporate activities and report any irregularities to the authorities.
3. **Shareholder Activism**: Minority watchdog groups can promote shareholder activism by educating investors about their rights and how to exercise them effectively. They can also represent the interests of minority shareholders in engagements with company management.
4. **Research and Advocacy**: These groups can conduct research on corporate governance practices and advocate for policy changes that benefit minority shareholders. They can also publish reports and analyses to inform the public and regulators about the state of corporate governance in listed companies.
5. **Collaborative Initiatives**: Joint initiatives, such as the development of codes of conduct or stewardship codes, can be undertaken. For example, the Malaysian Code for Institutional Investors was developed to set out broad principles of effective stewardship by institutional investors².
6. **Financial Support**: The SC can provide financial support to watchdog groups to assist them in their setup and operational costs, as it did with a grant to Badan Pengawas¹.
By working together, these entities can create a more accountable and transparent market environment that is conducive to investment and economic growth.

protecting minority shareholders from being bullied or marginalized by majority shareholders is crucial for maintaining fairness and integrity in corporate governance. Close collaboration between regulatory authorities and watchdog groups can help ensure that minority interests are adequately represented and safeguarded.

There are no specific rules that define oppression but the test is really whether there is commercial unfairness in the treatment of a shareholder.
The textbook definition of minority oppression refers to unfair treatment or behaviour by a corporation, likely controlled by a majority shareholder(s) or director(s) of a company that disregards the minority shareholders.
In most cases, the acts carried out are in the best interest of the majority shareholder(s) or director(s) at the expense of minority shareholders.
Minority shareholders need more protection

MLABS Systems Bhd’s diversification into the factoring business through Ikhlas Al Dain Sdn Bhd is significant for several reasons:
Earnings Base Expansion: The move aims to expand MLABS’s earnings base and reduce the risk of business concentration1.
MOF-Approved Factoring: Ikhlas is approved by the Ministry of Finance to conduct factoring, development financing, leasing, and building credit, which allows it to collect payments directly from the ministry for invoices from government contractors and service providers1.
Financial Performance Improvement: The diversification is expected to improve MLABS’s financial performance and provide a better financial footing in the long run1.
Market Demand: There is a growing demand within the factoring market segment, which MLABS plans to tap into1.
Potential Contribution to Net Profit: The factoring business is anticipated to potentially contribute 25% or more of MLABS’s net profit1.
This strategic move is particularly important as MLABS has faced intense competition and was loss-making for years. By venturing into the factoring industry, MLABS is looking to leverage Ikhlas’s capabilities and market position to turn around its financial performance and secure a more profitable future

The partnership between MLABS Systems Bhd and LG Electronics is expected to bring in profit due to the master sales agreement for the distribution of LG products in Malaysia1. This agreement, which supersedes a previous memorandum of understanding, outlines the obligations and responsibilities of each party in the distribution process12.
The anticipation of profit from this partnership could be attributed to several factors:
Increased Revenue: The partnership is likely to increase sales and revenue for MLABS as they distribute LG’s products, which are popular and have a strong market presence.
Market Expansion: MLABS will benefit from LG’s established brand and wide range of products, potentially expanding its market reach and customer base in Malaysia.
Operational Efficiency: The collaboration may lead to improved operational efficiencies and cost savings through shared resources and expertise.

Tile manufacturer cum property developer Seacera Group Bhd is partnering Ikhlas Al Dain Sdn Bhd, the indirect wholly owned unit of Mlabs Systems Bhd, to develop holiday villas in Kemaman, Terengganu that will have an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM156.46 million.
In a bourse filing, Seacera said it on Friday (March 25) entered into a joint venture (JV) agreement with Ikhlas via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Seacera Builders Sdn Bhd (SBSB). Ikhlas was in August last year granted sole, exclusive rights by Ribuan Bakat Sdn Bhd to develop several plots of freehold Malay Reserve Land totalling 30.17 acres that Ribuan Bakat owns.
Under the JV agreement, SBSB will pay RM11.5 million to Ikhlas in the form of units developed on the plots to secure the plots’ development rights.
Seacera, said it may obtain financing from any reputable financier for the purpose of financing the development of the project after obtaining approvals from Ikhlas and Ribuan Bakat.
Datuk Seri Abdul Azim Mohd Zabidi, a director of both SBSB and Ikhlas, has abstained himself from any deliberation and decision-making involving the deal, the filing wrote.
The tile manufacturer said the JV represents an opportunity for it to further expand its revenue from property development.

For those looking to try hidden hand stocks, mlabs is the best option based on value and business proposition. Not suggesting to buy it, ya. I really hope this gang bertaubat... dont play2 with kerajaan madani...
But i really cant see the rationale of the gang... right issue, private placement pumped in berpuluh2 juta ringgit... tapi biarkan harga syer at 20sen now walaupun net aset sesaham at RM1.66 after share consolidation. but really if we want to buy a stake, say, 1% ~7.2mil shares, 20sen tak dapat lah hehe

Public infrastructure projects to drive construction sector
NST Thu, Apr 04, 2024 11:36am - 23 hours
KUALA LUMPUR: Public infrastructure projects are expected to drive construction sector contracts in the coming quarters, with sizable projects in the pipeline.
Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd (HLIB) noted that public contracts in the first quarter of 2024 (1Q24) remained sluggish, decreasing by 3.8 per cent year-on-year (YoY).
However, the investment bank said for the remaining quarters of 2024, it looks forward to the rollout of big ticket infrastructure projects like Penang LRT worth more than RM10 billion, Pan Borneo Sabah Phase 1B (RM15.7 billion), flood mitigation packages (RM11.8 billion), Sabah-Sarawak Link Road (RM7.4 billion), LRT3 reinstatement (RM4.7 billion), KUTS-Green Line, and water scheme projects.
"There are also other basic infrastructure projects to come, funded by the high level of development expenditure of RM90 billion.
"These projects should help drive contract flows in 2024, while the pipeline from industrial projects and data centers remains highly robust.
"Johor has been touted as the fastest-growing data center market in the Southeast Asia region," it said in a note.
Meanwhile, HLIB also said it anticipates further developments on Johor LRT (RM20 billion) and Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail (HSR) in the coming months.
It added that the former serves as a critical dispersal system for the incoming Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS), which will be operational in 2027.
HLIB also noted that though there was disappointment over MRT3, its base case is a retender of the project as government priorities state infrastructure developments.
According to HLIB, domestic contract awards to listed contractors totalled RM6.96 billion in 1Q24.
Contracts during the quarter were off to a strong start, driven by private sector jobs, as public contracts contributed approximately 15 per cent of 1Q24 contract flows.
On private sector jobs, it was noted that flows came from commercial and residential development projects, while there were two contracts from the data centre space.

“Given the country’s tight fiscal position, it makes sense for the Malaysian government to prioritise tax collection and subsidy rationalization to bolster the fiscal stance, reinvigorate the economy, and enhance citizens' well-being. Overall, it is anticipated that the M40 and T20 groups will be most affected by subsidies cut and higher tax measures, thereby impacting the Consumer Discretionary sector, while the Construction sector stands to benefit from increased allocation for development and new projects."
