Result of Arbitration
The Group has received the results of the arbitration entered
into by its subsidiary, Zurex Corporation Sdn Bhd ("Zurex"), and JJ
Lurgi Engineering Sdn Bhd ("Lurgi"). The matter before arbitration
was a claim by Zurex against Lurgi for RM9.89m and a counter claim
by Lurgi for RM2.87m in relation to a contract dated 26 January
2007 for the supply by Lurgi of components for the construction of
a biodiesel plant (the "Contract").
The arbitrator has concluded that the contract between Zurex and
Lurgi was not terminated and, as a consequence, has dismissed the
claims by both parties with each side paying its own costs. The
directors of Biofutures are disappointed by the outcome as the
Group had received legal advice that its case would be successful.
The Group and its legal advisers are reviewing the decision.
Since the value of the assets under the Contract has been
impaired in prior years; no provision had been recognised in
respect of the claim against Zurex; and there is no direct
liability arising as a consequence of this conclusion, the
arbitration decision is not expected to have any material effects
on the Group's results.
