THAT pursuant to Section 85 of the Companies Act, read together Clause 57 of the Constitution of the Company, approval be and is given to waive the statutory pre-emptive rights of the shareholders of the Company to be offered new shares ranking equally to the existing issued shares of the Company arising from issuance of New Shares pursuant to the Proposed General Mandate.

Ms. Lim Cian Yai, representative of MSWG, raised a question on the sustainability of the Company's liquidity including the proceeds from selling land and banking facilities and whether it would be able to sustain the Company's working capital, as well as whether the Company would exercise the authority to allot shares under Sections 75 and 76 of the Companies Act 2016 ("the Act") if passed by the shareholders at this 17th AGM to raise funds.

Mr. Ng Chee Wai responded that the Group had secured RM9.20 million new banking facilities and received the proceed of RM7.70 million from the disposal of land as highlighted in the Company's responses to MSWG's earlier enquiries to address repayment of loans and working capital. As such, the Group is unlikely to exercise the authority to allot shares under Ordinary Resolution 6 above if passed by the shareholders at this 17th AGM in the near future unless additional funds are required to fund any new business projects or joint ventures.

To Ms. Lim Chai Yai's enquiry on whether the Company has the intention to seek exemption on Section 85 of the Act in relation to the shareholders' pre-emptive rights, Mr. Ng Chee Wai replied that the exemption was included in the mandate under Ordinary Resolution 6 for shareholders' approval.

SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

QUESTIONS FROM MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS WATCH GROUP

Operational & Financial Matters

Q1: For FY2023, Scanwolf remained in losses with a net loss of RM10.4 million (FY2022: - RM17.07 million), primarily due to lower sales recorded in the Manufacturing division. This was the third consecutive year Scanwolf ended a fiscal year in red.

The losses resulted in higher accumulated losses of RM23.7 million (FY2022: RM13.48 million), further lowering Scanwolf's total equity to RM57.4 million from RM67.32 million a year ago. Meanwhile, its total share capital amounted to RM82.02 million.

These numbers raised concerns that Scanwolf might slip into Practice Note 17 status, should the loss-making condition persist. The situation is exacerbated by Scanwolf's persistently loss-making Property Development and Manufacturing division.

Furthermore, external auditor Messrs PKF PLT also raised the issue of going concern of the Group and Company, in light of the net losses recorded by the Group and the Company.

  1. Given the net losses position, rising accumulated losses, depleting shareholders' equity, and low cash level, what are the viable strategies to ensure the long-term business continuity and sustainability of Scanwolf?
  1. The Group is pursuing various business strategies to increase its revenue and performance:-
    Manufacturing Division:
    1. Expansion of new products to secure more orders and contracts.
    2. Focusing on higher margin products.
    3. Increase export customers base by participation in international trade fairs.
    4. Continue strengthen our brand "Scanwolf Flooring".
    5. Continue to emphasize on cost management and efficiency improvement across on operations.

Property Division:

  1. Increase aggressive marketing efforts to help clear the inventory holdings.
  2. Special bulk purchase rebate offered to buyers.
  3. Renting out some unsold units to generate consistent income.
  1. What are the prospects of Scanwolf in the near term? When is the Group expected to become profitable? How is the core business of vinyl tiles flooring manufacturing expected to perform in FY2024?
  1. The prospects in the near term are expected to slow down, remaining weaker than usual

due to efforts to control inflation impacting the overall market. However, the Group is confident that it will grow next year.

The core business of the Group remains on plastic extrusion, supplying to local and international furniture manufacturers. The plastic extrusion experience slow-down in current financial year due to our customer's largest export destination, the US, continues to experience housing issues. In the event the US starts cutting rates in 2024, the Group expects demand to recover.

The business on vinyl flooring segment is expected to growth in 2024 and expected private consumption to pick up strongly based on the current trend. Furthermore, the Group is actively building our brand name "Scanwolf Flooring" to build the presence in international market.

  1. What was the outcome of the 'various business strategies to increase revenue' that were actively pursued by the Board and management?
  1. (a) Please refer to above (a).
    1. We had disclosed our strategize in the first question.
  1. Scanwolf has RM15.33 million of financial liabilities that will be due within the next 12 months from 30 June 2023 onwards (pages 56 and 107 of AR2023). In view of the low cash level of RM200,004, how does the Management plan to cope with the short- term liquidity risk and the cash requirements of the Group?
  1. The RM15.33 million financial liabilities consist of RM0.21 million (Term Loan), RM3.02 million (Bridging Loans), RM6.87 million (Bankers' acceptances) and RM5.23 million (Bank Overdrafts).
    A subsidiary of the Group has on 29 May 2023 entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement to dispose a piece of vacant land known as PT 53480, Kampar Putra, 31900 Kampar, Perak Darul Ridzuan, for a total cash consideration of RM7.70 million and completed on 11 October 2023.
    The proceeds of RM7.70 million is used to fully settle the RM3.02 million (Bridging Loans) on 11 October 2023. The remaining balance of RM4.68 million is for working capital.

Moreover, the Group has accepted RM9.20 million new banking facilities from a local bank in November 2023.

Q2: Despite the best effort to monetise existing inventories, Scanwolf's properties held for sale (primarily located in Kampar) remain sizeable at RM34.38 million as of 30 June 2023 (FY2022: RM37.94 million, Note 14 - Inventories, page 99 of AR2023).

  1. What is the current supply and demand dynamics for the involved properties in Kampar?
  1. Currently, there isn't any new launch of similar project in Kampar. The demand is a bit slow due to current higher interest rates and often buyers fail to meet certain eligibility requirements to obtain a property loan. However, with the strategies mention in 1(a) above, the Group is optimistic on the sales.
  1. When are the inventories expected to be cleared from Scanwolf's book?
  1. The Company does not have a definite answer on when the inventories expected to be cleared from the book. However, it is the Company priority to clear it as soon as possible.

Q3: In a reply to MSWG dated 30 November 2022, Scanwolf said it noted the importance of the five-year financial highlights and other indicators and will put them in the next annual report.

However, the Company did not disclose such information in AR2023.

Please provide this information in future annual reports, as it would be more meaningful to shareholders and enable them to compare the past financial performance and trends.

  1. The Company will seriously take note of the five-year financial highlights and other indicators in next annual report.

Corporate Governance Matters

Q1: Paragraph 15.08 (2), Chapter 15 Corporate Governance of Bursa Securities Listing Requirements requires directors of listed issuers to undertake continuous training to enable them to discharge their duties effectively.

The board of directors must disclose in annual reports a brief description of the type of training that the directors have attended for the financial year and valid justifications for the non-attendance if the director has yet to attend any training during the financial year.

Based on disclosure in Scanwolf's annual reports (page 22 of AR2023), three out of the eight directors, namely Mr Ng Chee Wai, Mr Khoo Kien Hoe and Ms Lee Pei Fen, have attended training in FY2023.

Please provide the details of the training attended by the other four directors. If they did not attend any training, please state the reasons for the non-attendance.

  1. Dato' Dr. Chew Chen Yee attended Mergers and Acquisition Course (兼并 & 收购) on 21
    July 2022 while Dato' Cheong Chen Khan attended Entrepreneur Course (校长 EMBA) on 30 June 2023. The other 2 directors have not attended any training in FY2023. The Board will ensure that all directors will attend at least one course in the next financial year. The company's HR department will be tasked to monitor and ensure that this good corporate governance practice be fulfilled every financial year.
