MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Country Heights ICO (and Cryptocurrency)

99.995% (in total number of shares) ‘approved’ the resolution on the issuance of the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) (dubbed the Horse Currency) of Country Heights Holdings Berhad (CHHB) at CHHB’s EGM held on 8 November 2018.

But was it an ‘approval’, per se, as reported in the media or was it ‘buy-in’ prior to an actual approval later?

We need to look at the wordings of the resolution which is reproduced below (with certain words highlighted in bold by us):

“The Board of Directors of CHHB wishes to seek the support and endorsement from the shareholders for the Company to embark on an Initial Coin Offering to issue the Company’s own asset-backed cryptocurrency, tentatively called ‘Horse Currency’ at the forthcoming Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company scheduled to be held on Thursday, 8 November 2018.”

Based on the above wording, the EGM was merely ‘to seek the support and endorsement’, just for CHHB to ‘embark’ on the ICO journey.

So, the outcome of the EGM, is only an approval-in-principle.

And rightfully so because so many details are not yet available to the shareholders especially the regulatory framework for such ICOs.

CHHB is in the process of mobilising its team of experts and advisors to fine-tune the ICO offering and this will incur costs.

There is a risk that some of the money that is spent on the ICO journey that CHHB is embarking on may have to be written off if the regulatorily-approved ICO model turns out to be a different animal (maybe the same animal but with different features).

Is CHHB putting the ‘cart before the horse’ when it comes to their ‘Horse Currency’?

As mentioned earlier, we see the outcome of the EGM as an ‘approval in principle’ because there were scant details offered at the EGM. (We expect another EGM in the future with sufficient details to enable shareholders to make an informed decision on the ICO offering).

Amongst the issues that need to be ironed out are the following:

1.       How will the ICO be treated in the books of CHHB – would it be treated as equity or a loan or a hybrid of these?

2.       What are the risk management measures and framework to be established?

3.       How will these ICOs rank if there is a winding-up?

4.       Since there will be an element of dilution in the Net Tangible Assets (presumably, the assets backing the ICO will be ring-fenced and placed in a trust) and hence, the share price, will the minority shareholders get a ‘restricted offer’, perhaps at a lower price? Or will it be like an IPO?

5.       What is the risk of the success of the ICO given that CHHB is primarily a property counter and the property sector is currently facing severe headwinds and overhang.

As they say, the ‘devil is in the details’ and till minority shareholders get such details, the approval at the EGM held on 8 November 2018 must necessarily be only an approval-in-principle.

Company

Points/Issues to Be Raised

Padini Holdings Bhd
(AGM)

(a)      As reported on Page 12 of the Annual Report, for financial year 2018, the Group has established a presence in Cambodia. However, in the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) on Page 17 of the Annual Report, it is stated that all 3 franchise outlets in Cambodia were closed subsequent to the financial year ended 2018.

Please explain the reason why and what are the future plans for Cambodia?

(b)      As stated on Page 17 of the Annual Report, the increase in exports to stores that were managed by licensees was mainly contributed from Indonesia where Padini benefited from higher demand in the local market. The franchise outlets in Indonesia has increased from 10 in FY 2016 to 15 in FY2018.

What are the Group’s plans in setting up more outlets in Indonesia?

Dialog Group Bhd 
(AGM)

In the Management Discussion and Analysis on page 38 of the Annual Report, it was reported that on the international front, the net profit contribution for the year was slightly lower mainly due to reduced engineering, construction and plant maintenance activities.

What is the prospect of the Group’s international business?

Sime Darby Bhd 
(AGM)

As stated on page 48 of the Annual Report, one of the key risks of the Company’s Motor Business is the competition from other dealers and grey importers selling vehicles at highly discounted prices.

(a)      The operating profit margin for the Motor Segment of the Company is low at around 3%. What are the advantages that other competitors have over SDB that allows them to sell vehicles at highly discounted prices?

           (b)      What is the price control mechanism put in place by the Principals? 

(c)       Is there any customer retention programme employed by the Company to retain loyal customers?

LIEN HOE CORPORATION BERHAD

 

APPLICATION FOR JUDICIAL MANAGEMENT FOR MACRO RESOURCES SDN BHD

The Board of Directors of the Company wishes to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Macro Resources Sdn Bhd (“Macro”) has today lodged an application under Section 403 of the Companies Act, 2016 to the High Court of Shah Alam, Selangor Darul Ehsan for the appointment of an independent judicial manager to manage its affairs, business and properties (“Judicial Management”).

Macro, whose business is that of a building contractor, has since June 2018 fallen into financial difficulty due to the slowdown in the collection of debts from trade debtors and has, in turn, struggled to repay the debts owed to various parties. It has been coming under increased pressure from its creditors, some of whom have petitioned for the winding-up of the company.

In the said application, Macro has nominated Mr Ng Choon Jin (NRIC No: 820226-14-5055, Liquidator Licence No: 02953/03/2020 P) as the Judicial Manager.

The purpose of the Judicial Management, if granted, is to allow Macro the opportunity to complete its pending projects while continue pursuing the debts owed to it, restructure the debts owed to its creditors and, consequently, be in a better position to address the repayment of its debts. The moratorium from legal proceedings imposed during the period under the Judicial Management will also ensure that there is little or no risk of asset depletion in the process.  This will give the creditors a greater chance of obtaining recovery of the debts owed by Macro.

Macro is not a major subsidiary of the Company under the definition of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The Company’s total cost of investment in Macro is RM8,198,693.

The Judicial Management of Macro is not expected to have any material impact on the financial and operational matters of the Company and the Group.
