Dear WK,
Good day.
Sorry to reply you late.
The decision to discontinue with Deloitte & Touche was primarily due to the fact that their fees was deemed to be on the high side. For the audit on the FY2007, we were charged approximately RM1 million, notwithstanding the fact that we have only 1 active company (ie Linyi Yehua Coking Co. Ltd) and the number of transactions are not voluminous. One of the shareholders, during the AGM, even spoke out highlighting that the audit fee that we paid was exceptionally high.
The reason for deciding on Anuarul Azizan Chew & Co. as the new replacement auditor is due to the fact that they are the member firm
of an international accounting firm called Morison International. Morison International was the firm that was involved in the re-audit of Linyi Yehua Coking Co. Ltd (our only active company in China) to ensure that the audit then was IFRS compliant for the purposes of submission to the Securities Commission for the IPO of Sino Hua-An. Premised on that rationale, we feel that the team from Morison International (Hong Kong office) are already familiar and well-versed with the Company (Linyi Yehua Coking Co Ltd and PIPO Overseas Ltd), the Coking business, our operating environment, etc and should be able to very quickly pick up where Deloitte has left off, rather than a totally new audit firm who will then need to take time to first try to understand our company, the business, the industry, etc. We take cognizance of your “concern” that Anuarul Azizan Chew & Co. is not one of the renown Big 4 Accounting firm, a similar point was also highlighted and deliberated at length by our audit committee. However, it was felt that since our active company, namely Linyi Yehua Coking Co. Ltd is the only company that our entire business operations are located at and that it is the only company that generates business revenue and profit for the Sino Hua-An Group, if we need to change auditors, we should choose one that has the competencies to perform audit on China companies and familiar with our business operations whilst meeting our objective of a lower fee structure.

As for Anuarul Azizan Chew & Co. (which you are “concerned” of for their seemingly lack of public visibility), they will only be doing the audit on Sino Hua-An (company level) and consolidate the audited figures that generated out from Morison International, their member firm. We are dealing with Mr Patrick Chew (the managing partner of Anuarul Azizan Chew) directly and he will be assisted by Mr Declan Yong (a Principal in the firm, whom I believe is slated for partnership soon). Anuarul Azizan Chew’s list of PLC clientele are as follows:
· Tradewinds (M) Berhad (audit)
· Magna Prima Berhad (audit, tax)
· Prinsiptek Corporation Berhad (audit)
· GHL Systems Berhad (audit, tax)

Dear Bernard,
With reference to your announcement to Bursa dated 20/05/08, what are the reasons in regards the change of the previous auditors from Deloitte & Touche to a smaller & unknown auditor named Anuaral Azizan Chew & Co.? Which listed company are they (Anuaral Azizan Chew) engaged as an auditors for their firm? Will the new appointment be as reliable as the previous?
Thank you
Regards
WK
