AGM 28/5 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 TOGETHER WITH THE REPORTS OF THE DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS THEREON

The Audited Financial Statements together with the Reports of the Directors and Auditors for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 (“AFS 2023”), having been circulated to all the shareholders of the Company within the statutory period, were tabled before the Meeting for discussion.

The Chairman informed the Meeting that the AFS was meant for discussion only, as no shareholders’ approval was required in accordance with Section 248(1) and Section 340(1) of the Companies Act 2016. Hence, this Agenda item was not put for voting.

The following question raised by the shareholder, namely Mr Lu Yieng Kee as follows:-

The Group’s revenue performance in 2023 dropped by approximately 30% compared to 2022, with a notable decline in profit before tax from RM11 million in 2022 to a loss of RM2.9 million in 2023. What is the primary reason for the loss incurred?

Timberwell’s Response

The loss after taxation of RM2.9 million comprised a fair value loss in the biological assets of RM2.4 million and an operating loss of RM0.5 million. The fair value loss in the biological assets would not jeopardise the Company’s cashflow as these were non-operating and non-cash items.

In 2022, the total profit after taxation was RM11.2 million. This consisted of an operating profit of RM3 million and a balance of RM7.8 million, which was attributed to the fair value gain on the revaluation of biological assets and non-current assets.

There being no further questions raised, the Chairman then declared the AFS of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 together with the Reports of the Directors and the Auditors thereon, be received and the Chairman proceeded to the next item on the Agenda.
