Megan Media Holdings Bhd incurred a net loss of MYR32.85 million on MYR5.51 million of revenues in the second quarter ended Oct. 31, 2007, as compared with a net profit of MYR15.17 million on MYR238.13 million of revenues in the same period in 2006.
As of October 31, 2007, the company's unaudited balance sheet showed strained liquidity with current assets of MYR43.86 million available to pay current liabilities of MYR1.01 billion.
The company's total assets as of Oct. 31, 2007, amounted to MYR115.43 million, while its total liabilities aggregated to MYR1.01 billion, resulting in a shareholders' equity deficit of MYR897 million.
Megan Media Holdings Berhad' s principal activities are manufacturing and trading data storage media products such as computer diskettes, video cassette tapes, compact disc recordable (CD-R's) and digital versatile disc recordable (DVD- R's). The Group operates in Malaysia, Singapore and other countries.
The Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific reported on June 11, 2007, that the Rating Agency Malaysia has downgraded the long- term rating of Memory Tech Sdn Bhd's MYR320 million Bai Bithaman Ajil Islamic Debt Securities (2005/2012) ("BaIDS"), from C3 (with a negative outlook) to D.
The BaIDS carries a corporate guarantee from MTSB's holding company, Megan Media Holdings Berhad. Concurrently, RAM has lifted the Rating Watch (with a negative outlook) that had been placed on MTSB on May 9, 2007, following the failure of MTSB and MJC (Singapore) Pte Ltd, another wholly owned subsidiary of Megan Media, to repay their trade facilities amounting to MYR47.36 million.
On June 19, 2007, the company was classified as a PN17 company, and was given eight months to submit a substantive plan to regularize its financial condition.
