Note that whatever our assumption/deductions/hopes on this stock is, we have no access to the actual details, issues and problems. Only the staff of the company as well as the auditors in charge.
The risk on signing off the accounts must have been material enough to warrant them making such an issue to affect the trading of the counter. The disagreement must have involved deep issues to warrant a 6-weeks special audit.
No matter what is the final verdict, we can safely assume a reasonable amount of "damage" has been done.
Those with vested interest trusted the management... we can only hope that this TRUST is reciprocal. Hope their support can help all vested.
Has the public accountant sitting on the board and the audit committee chair done his duties diligently? The auditors has quite a number of influential ppl as well.
Cumulative year ended 31dec2014 vs 31dec2013 Revenue (up $76.5million) Net Profit (Down $849,000) Receivables (jump a substantial RM92.5m from RM239.4m last year to RM331.9m)
The jump in receivables seemed way more that difference in revenue, which auditors are probably uncomfortable with... unless there are sufficient audit trail to show the discrepancies.
So there are likely asking for impairment or substantial write-offs...
Can anyone advise why only Masteel is doing well when almost all other steel companies are suffering losses.... is there something so secretive that auditors cannot be informed and be made comfortable with??!!
This should be good, why external auditors are made to feel uncomfortable about it... and why can't management and audit committee reconcile this in the 4 months period??!!
we keep hearing positive news on the counter... but why the counter's price keep dropping... please look at the market trend and not be overwhelm by the news around us...
There seems to be many reports asking clueless investors to pump in their money?? If there are so much interests, why counter keep dropping?? This is very strange and hope someone can shed some light before investors lose their life-savings again...
your name is labelled as judi, it means gambling.... then you said it is nothing wrong with this romantic stock.... of course it is nothing wrong to gambling this speculative goreng stock mah..
The outlook for steel industry is positive with the continuation of MRT line 2 and the constructions sector supported by the government in the recently announced 11mp. It will be a good opportunity for masteel to come out stronger with the clearance of its audited account whilst pmetal sorts out their operations. A clean audited AFS couple with a positive q1 results would certainly help!
The Board of Directors of MASTEEL wishes to announce that Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) had via their letter dated 25 May 2015 which was received on 26 May 2015, informed the Company that they have resolved to reject the Company’s application for an extension of time up to 31 July 2015 to release 1st Quarterly Report pursuant to paragraph 9.22(1) of the Main Market Listing Requirements which was submitted on 13 May 2015.
The reason for the delay in issuance of 1st Quarterly Report is due to the ongoing special review by UHY Advisory (KL) Sdn Bhd, the Special Auditors to conduct an independent and comprehensive review of the issues raised by the Messrs Nexia SSY, the External Auditors on the financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 (“AFS 2014”). The Special Review is expected to be completed in six (6) weeks from 30 April 2015.
In view of the above, MASTEEL is not able to furnish its 1st Quarterly Report to Bursa Securities as the Company needs the finalisation of the AFS 2014 in order to have the comparative information and corresponding financial figures aside the brought forward figures from the financial year ended 2014 to the opening figures in the 1st Quarterly Report, where appropriate for disclosure to Bursa Securities.
(Unless otherwise stated, definitions used in this announcement shall carry the same meaning as defined in the Company’s announcement dated 26 May 2015 in relation to the application for an extension of time up to 31 July 2015 to release 1st Quarterly Report)
We refer to our announcement dated 26 May 2015 on the delay in furnishing its 1st Quarterly Report to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”), wherein the Company will not be able to release its 1st Quarter Report by 31 May 2015, the period not exceeding two (2) months after the end of 31 March 2015 (“Relevant Timeframe”).
The Board of Directors of MASTEEL wishes to further announce the following:-
Pursuant to paragraph 9.28(5) of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities (“MMLR”), Bursa Securities has suspended the trading in MASTEEL’s securities on Tuesday, 12 May 2015 at 9.00 a.m. in view that the Company is not able to release its Audited Financial Statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2014; and
Pursuant to Paragraph 9.28(6) of the MMLR, if the Company fails to release its 1st Quarter Report within six (6) months from the Relevant Timeframe, in addition to any enforcement action that Bursa Securities may take, Bursa Securities shall commence de-listing procedures against the Company.
Usually if cannot conclude/signoff - likely there is some big problem in their accounts I think this company maybe going to holland soon if they cannot resolve their problems
Why there is a need for Special audit carried out by UHY? Are not the current external auditors competent enough to perform? Why can't external auditors release the reports? Something is amiss and Management, including Board of Directors are not agreeable to its reports. Any insiders' information, please highlight the readers of forum. Thank you.
