2.3 Review procedures for the Recurrent Related Party Transactions<br />

The BKCB Group has established procedures to ensure that Recurrent Related Party<br />

Transactions are undertaken on an arm’s length basis and on normal commercial terms<br />

consistent with the BKCB Group’s usual business practices and policies, which are not more<br />

favourable to the Related Parties than those extended to third parties/public, and are not to the<br />

detriment of the minority shareholders, as follows:<br />

(i) The transaction prices are based on prevailing market rates/prices that are agreed upon<br />

under similar commercial terms for transactions with third parties, business practices<br />

and policies and on terms which are generally in line with industry norms;<br />

5


(ii) The internal audit plan has incorporated a review of related party transactions entered<br />

into during the year and the records of related party transactions will be retained and<br />

compiled by the Group Financial Controller/Group Accountant for submission to the<br />

Internal Auditor, Audit Committee and Directors for review every quarter;<br />

(iii) Any member of the Audit Committee may, as he deems fit, request for additional<br />

information pertaining to the transaction from independent sources or advisers,<br />

including obtaining valuations from professional valuers at the Company’s expense;<br />

(iv) Any Director who has interests in any Related Party Transactions shall abstain from<br />

Board deliberations and voting and will ensure that he and any person connected to him<br />

will also abstain from voting on the relevant resolution(s); and<br />

(v) The Audit Committee reviews the internal audit reports to ascertain whether the<br />

established procedures for Recurrent Related Party Transactions have been complied<br />

with.<br />

2.4 Statement by Audit Committee<br />

The Audit Committee is satisfied that the established procedures for the Recurrent Related<br />

Party Transactions are sufficient to ensure that such related party transactions are carried out<br />

on normal commercial terms which are not prejudicial to the interests of shareholders.<br />

If, during its periodic reviews, the Audit Committee is of the view that such guidelines and<br />

procedures are no longer appropriate or adequate to ensure that the Recurrent Related Party<br />

Transactions are carried out on normal commercial terms or are prejudicial to the interests of<br />

shareholders, the Audit Committee will draw it to the attention of the Board and, if necessary,<br />

the Company will seek a fresh mandate from shareholders based on new guidelines and<br />

procedures.<br />

2.5 Validity period of the Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate<br />

The Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate will take effect from the passing of the ordinary<br />

resolution in relation thereto at the forthcoming AGM and will continue to be in force until the<br />

conclusion of the next AGM of BKCB or the expiration of the period within which the next<br />

AGM is required to be held pursuant to Section 143(1) of the Act (but shall not extend to such<br />

extension as may be allowed pursuant to Section 143(2) of the Act), unless revoked or varied<br />

by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders of the Company in general meeting, whichever<br />

is earlier.<br />

2.6 Disclosure<br />

The Company has disclosed details of the Recurrent Related Party Transactions conducted<br />

during the financial year ended 31 March 2009 in its 2009 Annual Report in accordance with<br />

Section 4.1.5 of Practice Note 12/2001 of the Listing Requirements.<br />

Similar disclosure will be made in the Annual Report for the subsequent financial year during<br />

which the Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate is in force, providing amongst others, the<br />

following information: -<br />

i. the type of Recurrent Related Party Transactions made; and<br />

ii. the names of Related Parties involved in each type of Recurrent Related Party<br />

Transactions made, and their relationship with BKCB.<br />

6


3. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED SHAREHOLDERS’ MANDATE<br />

The Recurrent Related Party Transactions are carried out in the ordinary course of business on<br />

arms’ length basis and on normal commercial terms which are not detrimental to the interests<br />

of the minority shareholders.<br />

The Recurrent Related Party Transactions to be entered into are intended to meet the business<br />

needs of the Group on the best possible terms as well as to explore beneficial business<br />

opportunities within the Group and with its business partners. It is anticipated that the<br />

Recurrent Related Party Transactions would occur on a frequent and recurrent basis.<br />

By obtaining the Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate and the renewal of the same on an annual<br />

basis, it will enhance the ability of the Group to pursue business opportunities, which are time<br />

sensitive in nature, and will eliminate the need for the Company to make announcements to<br />

the <strong>Bursa</strong> Securities and/or to convene separate general meetings on each occasion to seek<br />

shareholders’ prior approval before the BKCB Group can enter into such transactions. This<br />

will substantially reduce the expenses associated with the convening of general meetings on<br />

FURTHER INFORMATION<br />

1. DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT<br />

9<br />

APPENDIX I<br />

This Circular has been seen and approved by the Directors of the Company and they<br />

collectively and individually accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information<br />

given and confirm that, after making all reasonable enquiries and to the best of their<br />

knowledge and belief, there are no other facts the omission of which would make any<br />

statement herein misleading.<br />

2. MATERIAL LITIGATION<br />

Save as disclosed below, neither BKCB nor its subsidiary companies are engaged in any<br />

material litigation, claims or arbitration, either as plaintiff or defendant, which will have a<br />

material effect on the financial position of the Group, and the Directors are not aware of any<br />

proceedings pending or threatened against BKCB and/or its subsidiary companies or any facts<br />

likely to give rise to any proceedings which might materially and adversely affect the financial<br />

position or business of BKCB and/or its subsidiary companies.<br />

A summary of the material litigation involving BKCB and its subsidiaries up to 10 July 2009<br />

are as follows:<br />

(a) An action has been brought against Kejuruteraan Bintai Kindenko Sdn Bhd (“KBK”), a<br />

subsidiary of BCKB by Scandeast Construction (M) Sdn Bhd on 7 February 2005 for an<br />

amount of RM6,350,445 in respect of work done for 1911 units of DBKL public housing<br />

1 unit surau 1 unit multi-purpose hall 1 unit hawker centre ancillary buildings and<br />

associated infrastructure and external works on Lot 23113 Taman Setapak Jaya Kuala<br />

Lumpur (Parcel 1). The trial will be held on 13 and 14 July 2009.<br />

The solicitors acting for KBK are of the opinion that KBK has a good defence and<br />

counter claim.<br />

(b) An action has been brought against KBK by Karya Lagenda Sdn Bhd (“KLSB”) on 22<br />

April 2005 for various amounts totalling RM33,352,445 in relation to the Sri Rampai and<br />

Mawar Projects. Since then, further hearings have been held. On 20 February 2008,<br />

KLSB was wound up by a third party and KLSB’s solicitor in the present action has<br />

discharged themselves.<br />

The matter is now fixed for case management on 29 July 2009 for the Insolvency<br />

Department, who has been appointed as KLSB’s liquidators, to revert as to whether or not<br />

it wishes to proceed with the claim.<br />

If the Insolvency Department decides to discontinue the suit, KBK has been advised by<br />

its solicitors to likewise withdraw its counterclaim against KLSB and file a proof of debt<br />

with the Insolvency Department. Further if the Insolvency Department fails to attend<br />

Court on the 29 July 2009, KBK will seek to have the suit struck out.<br />

(c) An action for summary judgement has been brought against KBK by Malayan<br />

Banking Berhad (“MBB”) as the fourth defendant of the suit for RM 15,770,710.18. The<br />

cause of action is said to arise out of an assignment of contract proceeds by one of<br />

KBK’s sub-contractors in favour of MBB. The summary judgement was refused at first<br />

instance. MBB has filed an appeal. At the same time, KBK has also applied to strike out<br />

the suit but the application was dismissed. KBK is appealing against the dismissal of this<br />

application. The two appeals are fixed for clarification/decision on 22 July 2009. KBK<br />

remains confident that no liability will arise in respect of this suit.


(d) In the action brought by KBK against Asie Sdn Bhd (“Asie”) in relation to a demand<br />

made by Asie on a maintenance bond for an amount of RM2,292,848.65, further<br />

hearings have been held. The court has fixed 17 July 2009 to hear Asie’s application to<br />

set aside KBK’s Injunction Ex-Parte Order.<br />

(e) In the action brought against KBK by Asie for the provision of two maintenance bonds<br />

amounting to RM 2,500,659.10, the Court granted summary judgement in favour of Asie.<br />

KBK has filed an appeal to the Court of Appeal. A hearing date has not been fixed yet.<br />

KBK has a counterclaim in the sum of RM625,167.75 against Asie and this has been<br />

fixed for case management on 8 September 2009.<br />
