SubjectTALIWORKS CORPORATION BERHAD (“Taliworks” or “the Company”)
- (2009) Deyang Civil Suit No. 15 against Puresino (Guanghan) Water Co. Ltd ("Puresino Guanghan"), a subsidiary of Taliworks
ContentsReference is made to Bursa Malaysia’s letter dated 18 March 2009 in respect of the Company’s announcement dated 16 March 2009 pertaining to the above subject matter.

The Company append below the following additional information for public release:-

(i) The interest rate claimed for, if any
There is no claim for interest in the civil suit.

(ii) The financial and operating impact of the Civil Suit on the group
Under the Equipment Supply Contract dated 6 December 2003 with Watson Environmental, an amount of RMB3,722,920 will be payable to Watson Environmental upon the joint certification of acceptance of certain equipment installed at the wastewater treatment plant and RMB1,725,880 being the 10% retention sum payable after the 24 months defect liability period which commences after the joint certification of acceptance of the equipment.

In the civil suit, the Plaintiff is claiming a sum of RMB5,948,000 as the outstanding payment due by Puresino Guanghan to Watson Environmental.

If the suit is successful, this would result in Puresino Guanghan having to assume an additional liability of RMB500,000 (being the difference between the sum of RMB5,448,000 payable under the Equipment Supply Contract (assuming that Puresino Guanghan is satisfied with the joint certification) and the amount claimed under the suit of RMB5,948,000). However, it would be doubtful whether the additional sum would be required to be paid due to the lesser amount payable to Watson Environmental under the Equipment Supply Contract.

The payment date to Watson Environmental which is due only upon the satisfactory joint certification of the equipment and the expiry of the defect liability period would also be brought forward resulting in immediate cash out flow from Puresino Guanghan.

At this stage, the Civil Suit has no material financial impact on the Group.

The said civil suit will have no impact to the operations of Puresino Guanghan and the Group.

(iii) The expected losses, if any arising from the Civil Suit
The Group is expected to incur expenses in engaging solicitors to defend the legal suit. In the event if the Plaintiff successfully obtained judgments and duly enforced the claims in full, the expected losses accruing would also include the additional liability of RMB500,000 mentioned above, the liquidated damages claimed in the said civil suit and the court fees.

Despite the explanation provided above, Puresino Guanghan is disputing the claims made by the Plaintiff.

This announcement is dated 23 March 2009.
