MANAGING DIRECTORS STATEMENT

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I have the pleasure to present to you the Annual Report of Suiwah Corporation Bhd. (the
Company) and its group of companies (the Group) for the financial year ended 31 May 2014.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
During the financial year ended 31 May 2014 (FY2014), the Groups revenue stood at RM378.17 million which constitutes a
1.57% increase over last years revenue of RM372.33 million, mainly contributed by its retail segment which recorded higher
revenue for FY2014 in conjunction with the opening of new retail outlet during the year.
However, the Groups profit before tax decreased by 22.67% from RM19.19 million recorded in previous financial year to
RM14.84 million for FY2014. The decrease was mainly due to higher operating expenses incurred for the retail segment in
conjunction with the opening of the new retail outlet during the year and for the manufacturing segment, it was due amortization
of intangible assets, patent license fair value adjustment and unrealized forex loss incurred during the year.
After providing for taxation, the Groups earnings per share improved from 24.23 sen in previous financial year to 30.99 sen
for FY2014.
The Companys shareholders funds have improved from RM99.49 million as at 31 May 2013 to RM108.12 million as at 31
May 2014. The total Groups bank short term borrowings stood at RM6.67 million as at 31 May 2014 compared with RM13.41
million as at 31 May 2013.
DIVIDEND
The Company had declared and paid a first and final dividend of 8% less 25% taxation amounting to RM3.44 million for the
FY2013.
After reviewing the Group performance for FY2014, the Board of Directors is pleased to recommend a first and final single tier
dividend of 6% for the FY2014. The proposed final dividend will be tabled for the shareholders approval at the forthcoming
Twenty-first Annual General Meeting to be held on 17 November 2014.
OPERATIONS REVIEW
Retail Segment
Managing a group of retail stores is much more sophisticated endeavor than it sometimes appeared. The business is very
much people driven which is the basis for the Group to move the business forward. A smiling face communicates a very
positive and strong support to the retail segment and the Group will embark on providing top notch training in sales, customer
service, product/service knowledge and operating procedures to further enhance its retail business performance.
In addition, the retail segment will also be concentrating on multi-channel retailing for seamless approach to enhancing
consumer experience through specialized strategy software and technological devices. Consumers nowadays are very much
in control of the supply chain; hence multi-channel retailing is a revolution for the retail segment to be more consumers centric.
Manufacturing Segment
The Groups manufacturing segment recorded higher profit for FY2014, mainly due to improved operational efficiency and
higher technology content in the products and services to its increasing number of customers.
Lean management and driving towards enhanced technological capabilities continues to be the main drivers to value-add the
manufacturing segment. We foresee strong growth prospect in flexible printed circuits and IC substrate industry, with the rising
popularity of phablets and the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT).
Property Investment and Development Segment
The Groups property investment and development segment recorded a satisfactory performance for FY2014 as compared to
the previous financial year.
The Group is in the process of developing the Sunshine Tower project on a 9-acres land in Farlim, Penang. Sunshine Tower
is set to be the next happening leisure and entertainment venue in the northern region.

MANAGING DIRECTORS STATEMENT (CONTD.)


FUTURE PROSPECTS
The goods and services tax (GST) is expected to have some short to medium term impact on the Groups financial performance
when it is introduced in April 2015.
The implementation of GST will further pressure the cost structure; not just in terms of rising price of inventory, but also
GST compliance cost within the Group. Retail spending will drop during the first few months post GST implementation, as
consumers observe the changes in prices of goods and services. Purchase power for the middle to lower income group will
be immensely affected.
Notwithstanding the above, the Group will continue to take on a series of business adjustments to its business strategies with
an aim to deliver satisfactory performance for financial year 2015.
CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Within our business strategies, corporate responsibility remains an integral part of our efforts, despite the economic challenges
we have faced. As we work to strengthen our business, we are committed to doing it right for our employees, shareholders,
consumers, customers and the environment. We support programs that improve our local communities. We believe that our
customers, consumers and suppliers value our efforts to operate in an ethical, environmentally sustainable, and socially
responsible manner. The Groups commitment to these aspects can be located in Statement on Corporate Social Responsibility
in this Annual Report.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Groups commitment to corporate governance is outlined in the Statement of Corporate Governance and other related
reports found in the relevant sections of this Annual Report. The Board of Directors of the Company has also ensured that the
decision making process is impartial. Independence is assured in key appointments as well as maintaining proper standards
of conduct at all times.
APPRECIATION
On behalf of the Group and the Board of Directors, I would like to thank all our shareholders, customers, bankers, suppliers,
business associates and regulatory authorities for their invaluable and continuing support to the Group. We would also like to
extend our gratitude and appreciation to the management team and all the employees of the Group for their diligent services,
commitment and loyalty to the Group and innovations which have enabled the Group to achieve another successful year.
I would also like to extend my personal thanks to my fellow Directors for their constant dedication as the Group attributed its
success to the leadership of its Board of Directors and it also owes much to the dedication of its employees and the support of
its loyal customers and trust given by all our shareholders.
The Group will continue to embark on a series of adjustments its business strategies with an aim to diversify satisfactory

Principle 3 Reinforce Independence
3.1

Board should undertake an assessment of its Independent Directors annually


The Board through the NC assessed the independence of Independent Directors on an annual basis, with a view to
ensure the Independent Directors bring independent and objective judgement to the Board and this mitigates arising
from conflict of interest or undue influence from interested parties. Where there is a likely conflict of interest position,
the Board would take appropriate action to rectify the situation. Should any Director has an interest in any matter
under deliberation, he is required to disclose his interest and abstain from participating in the discussions and voting
on the matter.
The Board also received confirmation in writing from the Independent Directors of their independence. The Board is
satisfied with the assessment of the Independent Directors.

3.2

Tenure of Independent Director should not exceed cumulative term of nien (9) years. Upon completion of
tenure, Independent Director can continue serving but as Non-Executive Director
One of the recommendation of the Code states that the tenure of an Independent Director should be capped at nine
(9) years, either be a consecutive service of nine (9) years or a cumulative service of nine (9) years with intervals.
Upon completion of the nine (9) years tenure in office, an Independent Director may continue to serve on the company
subject to the re-designation as a Non-Independent Director.
Currently, the following Independent Directors, who have served the Company as Independent Non-Executive
Directors for a cumulative term more than nine (9) years are: (i)
Y.B. Senator Dato Haji Mohd Suhaimi Bin Abdullah
(ii)
Dato Ahmad Hassan Bin Osman
(iii)
Mr. Wong Thai Sun
(iv)
Mr. Jen Shek Voon
However, the NC and the Board have assessed the independence of Y.B. Senator Dato Haji Mohd Suhaimi Bin
Abdullah, Dato Ahmad Hassan Bin Osman, Mr. Wong Thai Sun and Mr. Jen Shek Voon are satisfied with the skills,
contribution and independent judgment that the said independent Directors bring to the Board and was of the view
that the said Independent Directors remain objective and independent in expressing their views and in participating
in deliberations and decision making of the Board and Board Committees. The length of their service on the Board
does not in any way interfere with their exercise of independent judgment and ability to act in the best interests of the
Company.
As all the members of NC have acted as Independent Directors for the tenure in office for more than a cumulative
term of nine (9) years and in line with Recommendation 3.2 of MCCG 2012, the Board (save for Y.B. Senator Dato
Haji Mohd Suhaimi Bin Abdullah, Dato Ahmad Hassan Bin Osman, Mr. Wong Thai Sun and Mr. Jen Shek Voon
who have abstained themselves from deliberation and forming the opinion on the subject matter) recommends and
supports them to continue to act as an Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company. The relevant motion
on the subject matter will be presented to the shareholders for consideration at the forthcoming AGM.

3.3

Must justify and seek shareholders approval in retaining Independent Directors (serving more than 9 years)
This was explained in the foregoing section.

3.4

Positions of Chairman and Managing Director to be held by different individuals


This was explained in the Paragraph 1.2 above.

3.5

The Board must comprise majority Independent Directors if the Chairman is not an Independent Director
It is recommended that the Board must comprise a majority of Independent Directors where the position of the
Chairman is not an Independent Director. The Board currently comprises all Non-Executive Directors, of whom
four (4) out of eight (8) directors are Independent Non-Executive Directors. The Board therefore has a strong
independence element in its composition as there is a balance of membership in the Board thus ensuring that no
individual dominates the decision making process and the results thereof.

responsibilities as Directors of the Company.

Principle 7: Ensure timely and high quality disclosure (contd.)
7.2

Encourage company to leverage on information technology for effective dissemination of information


The Company continues to recognise the importance of transparency and accountability to its shareholders and
investors. The Board always ensures that the shareholders are informed of the financial performance and major
corporate activities of the Company. Such information is communicated to shareholders and investors through
various disclosures and announcements to Bursa Securities, including the quarterly financial results, annual reports
and where appropriate, circulars and press releases.
Apart from the mandatory announcements through the Bursa Securities, the Company also maintains a website
www.suiwah.com.my to which shareholders and investors can have access to information on the operations and
business activities of the Group.

at appropriate time to explain the Groups strategy, performance and major developments.

Principle 8: Strengthen relationship between Company and shareholders

Take reasonable steps to encourage shareholder participation at general meetings


The AGM is the principal form for communicating with shareholders. Shareholders who are unable to attend are
allowed to appoint proxy, who need not be the shareholders, to attend and vote on their behalf. Board members are

the questions and answers session prior to each resolution being proposed to consideration by shareholders.

the Listing Requirements. It also adopts the recommendations of the Code with regard to strengthening engagement
and communication with shareholders. Where possible and applicable, the Group also provides additional disclosure
of information on a voluntary basis. The Group believes that consistently maintaining a high level of disclosure and
extensive communication with its shareholders is vital to shareholders and investors to make informed investment
decisions.

able to meet with the Directors after the meeting while they mingled with the shareholders, proxies and corporate
representatives.

principles and recommendations of the Code.

sound internal controls and risk management practices to
good corporate governance. The Board affirms its overall
responsibility for the Groups systems of internal controls
and risk management, and for reviewing the adequacy and
integrity of those systems. It should be noted, however,
that such systems are designed to manage rather than
eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives.
In addition, it should be noted that any system could provide
only reasonable and not absolute assurance, against material
misstatement or loss.
The Boards objective is to ensure that the Group has
an appropriate system in place for the identification and
management of risks, including the deployment of internal
controls to address the risks so identified and concluded
that the risk management and internal control system of the
Group is adequate and effective.
RISK MANAGEMENT

risks to achievement of the Groups objectives, forming
a basis for determining how the risks should be managed.
Mechanisms are needed to identify and deal with risks
associated with changes of economic, industry, regulatory
and operating conditions.
Management carries out risk identification exercise
periodically for its major subsidiaries. The risk assessment is
reviewed by the Executive Directors.
INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION
The Board recognises that effective monitoring on a
continuous basis is a vital component of a sound internal
control system.
The Groups Internal Audit Function, outsourced to an
Independent professional accounting and consulting firm
until May 2014, reports directly to the Audit Committee. The
Internal Audit Function carries out the reviews with impartiality,
proficiency and due professional care.
The Internal Audit adopts a risk-based approach in developing
its audit plan which addresses the core auditable areas of
the Group based in their risk profile. The highlighted areas
will be followed up closely to determine the extent of their
recommendations that have been implemented by the
Management.

systems are described below:

against the business plans and approved budgets.

no provision for doubtful debts was necessary in the financial statements of the Group. The directors were
also satisfied that there were no known bad debts and that adequate provision for doubtful debts has been
made in the financial statements of the Company; and

to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their values as shown in the accounting
records in the ordinary course of business had been written down to an amount which they might be expected
so to realise.

the values attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
misleading.

adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or
inappropriate.

(d)

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report
or financial statements of the Group and of the Company which would render any amount stated in the financial
statements misleading.

(e)

(f)

(i)

any charge on the assets of the Group and of the Company which have arisen since the end of the financial
year which secures the liabilities of any other person; or

In the opinion of the directors:

of twelve months after the end of the financial year which will or may affect the ability of the Group or of the
Company to meet their obligations when they fall due; and

(ii)

no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the end of

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF SUIWAH CORPORATION BHD. (Incorporated in Malaysia)

Report on the financial statements


We have audited the financial statements of Suiwah Corporation Bhd., which comprise the statements of financial position as

equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 43 to 107.
Directors responsibility for the financial statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements so as to give a true and fair view in
accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements
of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the directors determine
is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
Auditors responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the
entitys preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion

2.2

Changes in accounting policies (contd.)


Adoption of the above standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the financial performance or position
of the Group and of the Company except for those discussed below:
MFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
MFRS 10 replaces part of MFRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deals with consolidated
financial statements and IC Interpretation 112 Consolidation Special Purpose Entities.
Under MFRS 10, an investor controls an investee when:
(i)

the investor has power over an investee,

(ii)

the investor has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and

(iii)

the investor has ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns.

Under MFRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, control was defined as the power to govern the
financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
MFRS 10 includes detailed guidance to explain when an investor that owns less than 50 per cent of the voting shares
in an investee has control over the investee. MFRS 10 requires the investor to take into account all relevant facts
and circumstances, particularly the size of the investors holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of
holdings of the other vote holders.
The application of MFRS 10 has no impact on the Groups and the Companys financial position or financial
performance.
MFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
MFRS 11 replaces MFRS 131 Interests in Joint Ventures and IC Interpretation 113 Jointly-Controlled Entities Nonmonetary Contributions by Venturers.
The classification of joint arrangements under MFRS 11 is determined based on the rights and obligations of the
parties to the joint arrangements by considering the structure, the legal form, the contractual terms agreed by the
parties to the arrangement and when relevant, other facts and circumstances. Under MFRS 11, joint arrangements
are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures.
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights
to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement
whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
MFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCE) using proportionate consolidation.
Instead, JCE that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method. This standard
has no material impact on the Group's financial position or performance.
MFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities
MFRS 12 includes all disclosure requirements for interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and
structured entities. A number of new disclosures are required. This standard affects disclosures only and has no
impact on the Groups financial position or performance.

Changes in accounting policies (contd.)


MFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement
MFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under MFRS for all fair value measurements. MFRS 13
does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure
fair value under MFRS. MFRS 13 defines fair value as an exit price. As a result of the guidance in MFRS 13,
the Group re-assessed its policies for measuring fair values, in particular, its valuation inputs such as nonperformance risk for fair value measurement of liabilities. MFRS 13 also requires additional disclosures.
Application of MFRS 13 has not materiality impacted the fair value measurement of the Group. Additional disclosures
where required, are provided in the individual notes relating to the assets and liabilities whose fair values were
determined.
Amendments to MFRS 101: Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
The amendments to MFRS 101 introduce a grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income. Items
that will be reclassified (recycled) to profit or loss at a future point in time (eg. net loss or gain on available-for-sale
financial assets) have to be presented separately from items that will not be reclassified (eg. revaluation of land
and buildings). The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Groups financial position or
performance.
MFRS 127 Separate Financial Statements
As a consequence of the new MFRS 10 and MFRS 12, MFRS 127 is limited to accounting for subsidiaries, jointly
controlled entities and associates in separate financial statements.
MFRS 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
As a consequence of the new MFRS 11 and MFRS 12, MFRS 128 is renamed as MFRS 128 Investments in Associates
and Joint Ventures. This new standard describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures
in addition to associates.

2.3

The directors expect that the adoption of the standards and interpretations will have no material impact on the financial
statements in the period of initial application except as discussed below:
MFRS 9 Financial Instruments
MFRS 9 reflects the first phase of work on the replacement of MFRS 139 and applies to classification and measurement
of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in MFRS 139. The standard was initially effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, but Amendments to MFRS 9: Mandatory Effective Date of MFRS 9 and
Transition Disclosures, issued in March 2012, moved the mandatory effective date to 1 January 2015. Subsequently,
on 14 February 2014, it was announced that the new effective date will be decided when the project is closer to
completion. The adoption of the first phase of MFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of
the Groups financial assets, but will not have an impact on classification and measurements of the Groups financial
liabilities. The Group will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when the final standard including all
phases is issued.
2.4

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at
the reporting date. The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied to
like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
The Company controls an investee if and only if the Company has all the following:
(i)

Power over the investee (i.e existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the
investee);

(ii)

Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its investment with the investee; and

(iii)

The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, the Company considers the following
in assessing whether or not the Companys voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power over the investee:
(i)

The size of the Companys holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other
vote holders;

(ii)

Potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;

Basis of consolidation (contd.)


(iii)

Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

(iv)

Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current
ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at
previous shareholders meetings.

Subsidiaries are consolidated when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company
loses control of the subsidiary. All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses
resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.
Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interests even if that results in a deficit balance.
Changes in the Groups ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the
subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Groups interests and the noncontrolling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. The resulting
difference is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate
of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying
amount of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interest, is recognised in profit or loss.
The subsidiarys cumulative gain or loss which has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated
in equity are reclassified to profit or loss or where applicable, transferred directly to retained earnings. The fair value of
any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date control is lost is regarded as the cost on initial recognition
of the investment.
2.5

Transactions with non-controlling interests


Non-controlling interest represents the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the
Company, and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and within equity in
the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company.
Changes in the Company owners ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted
for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests
are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by
which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised
directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent.
Total comprehensive income within a subsidiary is attributed to the non-controlling interest even if it results in a deficit
balance.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
- derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
- derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;
- derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;
- recognises the fair value of the consideration received;
- recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
- recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and
- reclassifies the parents share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit
or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.

Summary of significant accounting policies (contd.)

2.6

Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity over which the Company has all the following:
(i)

Power over the investee (i.e existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the
investee);

(ii)

Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its investment with the investee; and

(iii)

The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

In the Companys separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less any
accumulated impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and
their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss.
2.7

Investments in an associates and joint ventures


An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate
in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to
the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement,
which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing
control.
On acquisition of an investment in associate or joint venture, any excess of the cost of investment over the Groups
share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill and included
in the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Groups share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets
and liabilities of the investee over the cost of investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and
is instead included as income in the determination of the Groups share of the associates or joint ventures profit or
loss for the period in which the investment is acquired.
An associate or a joint venture is equity accounted for from the date on which the investee becomes an associate or
a joint venture.
Under the equity method, on initial recognition the investment in an associate or a joint venture is recognised at
cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and
other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture after the date of acquisition. When the Groups share
of losses in an associate or a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture, the Group
does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf
of the associate or joint venture.
Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its associate or
joint venture are recognised in the Groups financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investors interests
in the associate or joint venture. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an
impairment of the asset transferred.
The financial statements of the associates and joint ventures are prepared as of the same reporting date as the
Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.
After application of the equity method, the Group applies MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss with respect to its net
investment in the associate or joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment is tested
for impairment in accordance with MFRS 136 Impairment of Assets as a single asset, by comparing its recoverable
amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss is
recognised in profit or loss. Reversal of an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount of
the investment subsequently increases.
In the Companys separate financial statements, investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for at
cost less any accumulated impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal
proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss.

Summary of significant accounting policies (contd.)

2.8

Intangible assets
(a)

Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any
accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired is allocated, from the acquisition date, to each of the
Groups cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually and
whenever there is an indication that the cash-generating unit may be impaired, by comparing the carrying
amount of the cash-generating unit, including the allocated goodwill, with the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying
amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are
not reversed in subsequent periods.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that cash-generating
unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount
of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this
circumstance is measured based on the relative fair values of the operations disposed of and the portion of
the cash-generating unit retained.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign operation on or after 1 January 2006
are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and are recorded in the functional currency
of the foreign operations and translated in accordance with the accounting policy set out in Note 2.26.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments which arose on acquisitions of foreign operation before 1 January 2006
are deemed to be assets and liabilities of the Company and are recorded in RM at the rates prevailing at the
date of acquisition.

(b)

Other intangible assets


Intangible assets acquired separately are measured initially at cost. Following initial acquisition, intangible
assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised over the estimated useful lives and assessed for
impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period
and the amortisation method are reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful
life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted
for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting
estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between
the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss when the
asset is derecognised.

2.9

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation


All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property, plant and
equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the
item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and
any accumulated impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be
replaced in intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation,
respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant
and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are
recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Capital work-in-progress are not depreciated as these assets are not yet available for use.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted
prospectively, if appropriate.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in profit or loss in the year
the asset is derecognised.
2.10

Investment properties
Investment properties are measured at cost model which is to measure investment properties at cost less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings

1% - 2%

A property interest under an operating lease is classified and accounted for as an investment property on a propertyby-property basis when the Group holds it to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Any such property interest
under an operating lease classified as an investment property is carried at fair value.
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is
permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss on the
retirement or disposal of an investment property is recognised in profit or loss in the year of retirement or disposal.
Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use.
2.11

Inventory property
Property acquired or being constructed for sale in the ordinary course of business, rather than to be held for rental
or capital appreciation, is held as inventory property and is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the business, based on market prices at
the reporting date and discounted for the time value of money if material, less costs to completion and the estimated
costs of sale.
The cost of inventory property recognised in profit or loss on disposal is determined with reference to the specific costs
incurred on the property sold and an allocation of any non-specific costs based on the relative size of the property
sold.

Summary of significant accounting policies (contd.)

2.12

Impairment of non-financial assets


The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such
indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate
of the assets recoverable amount.
An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For the
purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable
cash flows (cash-generating units (CGU)).
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are discounted to
their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset
is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to those units or groups of units and then, to
reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss except for assets that are previously revalued where the revaluation
was taken to other comprehensive income. In this case the impairment is also recognised in other comprehensive
income up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised
impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed
only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last
impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable
amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation,
had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is
measured at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. Impairment loss on
goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

2.13

Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the
Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not
at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group and the Company determine the classification of their financial assets at initial recognition, and the categories
include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and
available-for-sale financial assets.
(a)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss


Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss if they are held for trading
or are designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets held for trading are derivatives (including
separated embedded derivatives) or financial assets acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near
term.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair
value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or net
losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss do not include exchange differences, interest and
dividend income. Exchange differences, interest and dividend income on financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss are recognised separately in profit or loss as part of other losses or other income.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss could be presented as current or non-current. Financial
assets that are held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current whereas financial assets that are
not held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current or non-current based on the settlement date.

Financial assets (contd.)


(b)

Loans and receivables


Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified
as loans and receivables.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are
derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later than 12
months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current.

(c)

Held-to-maturity investments
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity
when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold the investment to maturity.
Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the held-to-maturity
investments are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
Held-to-maturity investments are classified as non-current assets, except for those having maturity within 12
months after the reporting date which are classified as current.

(d)

Available-for-sale financial assets


Available-for-sale financial assets are financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not
classified in any of the three preceding categories.
After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses
from changes in fair value of the financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income, except
that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments and interest calculated
using the effective interest method are recognised in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously
recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification
adjustment when the financial asset is derecognised. Interest income calculated using the effective interest
method is recognised in profit or loss.
Dividends on an available-for-sale equity instrument are recognised in profit or loss when the Groups and the
Company's right to receive payment is established.
Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less
any accumulated impairment losses.
Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets unless they are expected to be realised
within 12 months after the reporting date.

A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On
derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the
consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is
recognised in profit or loss.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the
period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. All regular way purchases
and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Group and the
Company commit to purchase or sell the asset.

2.14

Impairment of financial assets


The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial
asset is impaired.
(a)

Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost
To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been
incurred, the Group and the Company consider factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant
financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. For certain categories of
financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are
subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis based on similar risk characteristics. Objective
evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Groups and the Company's past
experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the
average credit period and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with
default on receivables.
If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the assets
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial assets
original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets
with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance
account. When a trade receivable becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.
If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment
loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the
reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(b)

Available-for-sale financial assets


Significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, significant financial difficulties of the issuer or obligor,
and the disappearance of an active trading market are considerations to determine whether there is objective
evidence that investment securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are impaired.
If an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net
of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously
recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to profit or loss.
Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss in the subsequent
periods. Increase in fair value, if any, subsequent to impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive
income. For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently reversed in profit or
loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the
recognition of the impairment loss in profit or loss.

2.15

Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the
definitions of a financial liability.
Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only
when, the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial
liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities.
(a)

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss


Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial
liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities held for trading include derivatives entered into by the Group and the Company that do not
meet the hedge accounting criteria. Derivative liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently
stated at fair value, with any resultant gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or losses on
derivatives include exchange differences.
The Group and the Company have not designated any financial liabilities as at fair value through profit or
loss.

Financial liabilities (contd.)


(b)

Other financial liabilities


The Groups and the Company's other financial liabilities include trade payables, other payables and loans
and borrowings.
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities
unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the
reporting date.
For other financial liabilities, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are
derecognised, and through the amortisation process.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. When an existing financial
liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability
are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and
the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
2.16

Fair value measurements


The Group and the Company measure financial instruments, such as, embedded derivatives, at fair value at each
reporting date. Also, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortised cost are disclosed in Note 40.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that
the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- in the principal market for the asset or liability; or
- in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group and by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the
asset in its highest and best use.
The Group and the Company use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising
the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:
Level 1 :

Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 :

Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is directly or indirectly observable;

Level 3 :

Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable.

Fair value measurements (contd.)


For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group and the
Company determine whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation
(based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each
reporting period.
The Group and the Company determine the policies and procedures for recurring fair value measurement, such as
properties and unquoted available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets.
External valuers may be involved for valuation of significant assets, such as properties and AFS financial assets.
Involvement of external valuers is decided upon annually by the Group and by the Company. Selection criteria include
market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained.
At each reporting date, the Group and the Company analyse the movements in the values of assets and liabilities
which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Groups and the Companys accounting policies.
For this analysis, the Group and the Company verify the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the
information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
The Group and the Company, in conjunction with the Groups and the Companys external valuers, also compare
the changes in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources, where practical, to determine
whether the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group and the Company have determined classes of assets and
liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value
hierarchy as explained above.

2.17

Income taxes
i.

Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the
taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or
substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised
outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

ii.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except:
-

where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability
in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither
the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates


and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be
controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Income taxes (contd.)


ii.

Deferred tax (contd.)


Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against
which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax
losses can be utilised except:
-

where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time
of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,


associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that
it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit
will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred
tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are
recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax
assets to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax
items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly
in equity and deferred tax arising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.
2.18

Share capital and share issuance expenses


An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and the Company
after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments.
Ordinary shares are recorded at the proceeds received, net of directly attributable incremental transaction costs.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which
they are declared.

2.19

Treasury shares
When shares of the Company, that have not been cancelled, recognised as equity are reacquired, the amount of
consideration paid is recognised directly in equity. Reacquired shares are classified as treasury shares and presented
as a deduction from total equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or
cancellation of treasury shares. When treasury shares are reissued by resale, the difference between the sales
consideration and the carrying amount is recognised in equity.

2.20

Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid
investments with maturity of 3 months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These also include bank overdrafts that form an integral part of the
Groups and the Company's cash management.

2.21

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost of inventories of merchandise held for resale is determined using the weighted average method.
Cost of manufactured goods is determined using the first in, first out method. The cost of raw materials comprises
costs of purchase. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress comprise costs of raw materials, direct labour,
other direct costs and appropriate proportions of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.
The cost of properties held for sale comprises cost associated with the acquisition of land, direct costs and appropriate
proportions of common costs. Cost is determined on a specific identification basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary
to make the sale.

2.22

Leases
i.

As lessee
Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of
the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower,
at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Any initial direct costs are also added to the amount
capitalised. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability
so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are
charged to profit or loss. Contingent rents, if any, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are
incurred.
Leased assets are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable
certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the
shorter of the estimated useful life and the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the
lease term. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a reduction of rental
expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

ii.

As lessor
Leases where the Group and the Company retain substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are
added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same bases as
rental income. The accounting policy for rental income is set out in Note 2.27 (v).

2.23

Borrowings costs
Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset if they are directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of that asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare
the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing
costs are capitalised until the assets are substantially completed for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of
interest and other costs that the Group and the Company incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.

2.24

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,
it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the
obligation can be estimated reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer
probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If
the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre tax rate that reflects,
where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the
passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

2.25

Employee benefits
i.

Short term benefits


Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in
which the associated services are rendered by employees. Short term accumulating compensated absences
such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their
entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as
sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

ii.

Defined contribution plans


Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions
into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if
any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee services in
the current and preceding financial years. Such contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss
as incurred. As required by law, companies in Malaysia make such contributions to the Employees Provident
Fund ("EPF"). The Group's foreign subsidiary also make contributions to its respective country's statutory
pension scheme.

2.26

Foreign currencies
i.

Functional and presentation currency


The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The financial statements of the
Group and of the Company are presented in Ringgit Malaysia ("RM"), which is also the Company's functional
currency.

ii.

Foreign currency transactions


Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional currencies of the Company
and its subsidiaries and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currencies at exchange rates
approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Non-monetary items denominated
in foreign currencies that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates as at the
dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies measured at fair
value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the
reporting date are recognised in profit or loss except for exchange differences arising on monetary items
that form part of the Groups net investment in foreign operations, which are recognised initially in other
comprehensive income and accumulated under foreign currency translation reserve in equity. The foreign
currency translation reserve is reclassified from equity to profit or loss of the Group on disposal of the foreign
operation.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in
profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in
respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. Exchange differences arising from such
non-monetary items are also recognised directly in equity.

iii.

Foreign operations
The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the
presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements are translated into RM as follows:
-

Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing
rate prevailing at the reporting date;

Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average
exchange rates for the year, which approximate the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions;
and

All resulting exchange differences are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve within equity.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign operations on or after 1 January 2006
are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and are recorded in the functional currency of the
foreign operations and translated at the closing rate at the reporting date. Goodwill and fair value adjustments
which arose on the acquisition of foreign subsidiaries before 1 January 2006 are deemed to be assets and
liabilities of the parent company and are recorded in RM at the rates prevailing at the date of acquisition.

2.27

Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the
revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is
recognised:
i.

Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised net of sales taxes and upon transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership
to the buyer. Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding
recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods.

ii.

Sale of completed property


A property is regarded as sold when the significant risks and returns have been transferred to the buyer,
which is normally on unconditional exchange of contracts. For conditional exchanges, sales are recognised
only when all the significant conditions are satisfied.

iii.

Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the Group's right to receive payment is established.

iv.

Management fees
Management fees are recognised when services are rendered.

v.

Rental income
Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The aggregate cost of
incentives provided to lessees is recognised as a reduction of rental income over the lease term on a straightline basis.

vi.

Interest income
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

vii.

Revenue on award credits


Revenue on award credits is recognised based on the number of award credits that have been redeemed in
exchange for free or discounted goods, relative to the total number of award credits expected to be redeemed.

2.28

Government grant
Government grant is recognised at its fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received
and all conditions attached will be met. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is recognised as deferred
capital grant in the statements of financial position and is amortised to the statements of comprehensive income over
the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments.
Grant contributed towards the acquisition of plant and equipment is deducted from the cost of those assets.

Land use rights


Land use rights are initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, land use rights are measured at cost less
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. The land use rights are amortised over the lease term
of 6 years.

2.30

Segment reporting
For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments based on their products and services
which are independently managed by the respective segment managers responsible for the performance of the
respective segments under their charge. The segment managers report directly to the management of the Company
who regularly review the segment results in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess the segment
performance. Additional disclosures on each of these segments are shown in Note 43, including the factors used to
identify the reportable segments and the measurement basis of segment information.

2.31

Contingencies
A contingent liability or asset is a possible obligation or asset that arises from past events and whose existence will
be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future event(s) not wholly within the control of
the Group and of the Company.
Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised in the statements of financial position of the Group and of the
Company.

2.32

Current and non-current classification


The Group and the Company present assets and liabilities in statements of financial position based on current and
non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when it is:
- expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
- held primarily for the purpose of trading;
- expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or
- cash and cash equivalents unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12
months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when:
- it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;
- it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
- it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or
- there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities, respectively.

Significant accounting judgements and estimates


The preparation of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities,
and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and
estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or
liability affected in the future.

3.1

Judgements made in applying accounting policies


In the process of applying the Groups accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart
from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial
statements:
i.

Classification of property
The Group has developed certain criteria based on MFRS 140: Investment Property in making judgement
whether a property qualifies as an investment property. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals
or for capital appreciation or both.
The Company has leased out its building to a subsidiary as a supermarket and departmental store and
accordingly the building is classified as investment property in the Company's financial statements. The
building is classified as property, plant and equipment in the Group's financial statements as it is held for use
in the supply of goods and services.
Property that is held for sale in the ordinary course of business is classified as inventory property.

ii.

Operating lease commitments the Company as a lessor


The Company has entered into property leases with a subsidiary on its investment properties. The Company
has determined that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are
leased out as operating leases.

3.2

Key sources of estimation uncertainty


The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that
have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
financial year are discussed below.
i.

Impairment of goodwill
The Group determines whether goodwill are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation
of the value-in-use of the cash-generating units ("CGU") to which goodwill are allocated. Estimating a valuein-use amount requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the CGU
and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The
carrying amount of the goodwill as at 31 May 2014 of the Group was RM4,665,045 (2013: RM4,665,045) is
disclosed in Note 21.

ii.

Deferred tax assets


Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances to the extent
that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses and capital allowances can be
utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that
can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax
planning strategies. The total carrying value of unrecognised tax losses and capital allowances of the Group
is disclosed in Note 34.

iii.

Depreciation of plant and machinery


The cost of plant and machinery for the manufacturing of flexible printed circuit boards of the Group are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets' useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives
of these plant and machinery to be within 5 to 8 years. These are common life expectancies applied in the
precisions industry. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact
the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could
be revised.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty (contd.)


iv.

Impairment of financial assets


The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a
financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group and
the Company consider factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the
debtor and default or significant delay in payments.
Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated
based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The carrying amount of
the Groups and the Company's loans and receivables at the reporting date is disclosed in Note 24.

v.

Deferred revenue
The Group allocates the consideration received from the sale of goods to the goods sold and the points
issued under its loyalty programme. The consideration allocated to the points issued is measured at their fair
value.
The carrying amount of deferred revenue allocated to the award credits at the reporting date was RM1,712,534
(2013: RM1,316,804) is disclosed in Note 37.

vi.

Impairment loss on investments in subsidiaries and associate


The Company has recognised impairment loss in respect of investments in subsidiaries and associate. The
Company carried out the impairment test based on the estimation of the higher of the value-in-use or the
fair value less cost to sell of the cash-generating units ("CGU") to which the investments in subsidiaries and
associate belong to. Estimating the recoverable amount requires the Company to make an estimate of the
expected future cash flows from the CGU and also to determine a suitable discount rate in order to calculate
the present value of those cash flows.
The carrying amount at the reporting date for investments in subsidiaries and associate is disclosed in Notes
17 and 19.

A subsidiary has on 18 January 2010 obtained approval from Malaysian Industrial Development Authority
("MIDA"), subject to certain conditions being complied with, 100% tax exemption on its statutory income on
"Fine Resolution Interconnect Flexible Printed Circuit Boards" (Pitch < 3mm) for a period of 5 years from
the "Production Date". The subsidiary has subsequently applied to MIDA to vary one of its conditions and
its application has been approved by MIDA. The subsidiary has in turn submitted an application to fix its
"Production Date" to the Ministry of International Trade and Industry ("MITI").
On 23 July 2013, MITI has approved the subsidiary's application and fixed 1 June 2009 as the "Production
Date" of the subsidiary where 100% of its statutory income on "Fine Resolution Interconnect Flexible Printed
Circuit Boards" (Pitch < 3mm) is tax exempted for a period of 5 years from 1 June 2009 to 31 May 2014.
During the current year, the subsidiary has re-submitted the revised corporate tax return to the tax authority
for year of assessments 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Accordingly, the tax paid in prior years in respect of
these years of assessment amounting to approximately RM6,800,000 have been reversed as overprovision
in prior year and recorded as tax recoverable as at 31 May 2014.

Basic earnings per share


Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders
of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial year, excluding
treasury shares held by the Company.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit for the year from continuing operations, net of
tax, attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
financial year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the
dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Key assumptions used in value-in-use ("VIU") calculations


The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on VIU calculations using cash flow projections
based on financial forecasts approved by management covering a 5-years period.
The following describes each key assumption on which management has based its cash flow projection for
VIU calculations of CGU to undertake impairment testing of goodwill:
(i)

Budgeted gross margin


The basis used to determine the value assigned to the budgeted gross margin is the average gross
margin achieved in the year immediately before the budgeted year adjusted for expected efficiency
improvement, market and economic conditions and internal resource efficiency, where applicable.

(ii)

Growth rate
The weighted average growth rate used is consistent with the long term average growth rate for the
relevant industry. The forecasted growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the five-year
period is 3.6% (2013: 3.9%).

(iii)

Discount rate
The discount rate used is on a basis that reflects specific risks relating to the relevant business
segment. The pre-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is 9.6% (2013: 10%)

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
With regard to the assessment of value-in-use of the CGU, management believes that no reasonable change in any of
the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the CGU to materially exceed its recoverable amount.

where payment in advance is normally required. The normal credit periods range from 30 to 75 days (2013:
30 to 75 days). Other credit terms are assessed and approved on a case-by-case basis. The Group seeks to
maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables and has a credit control department to minimise credit
risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management.
At 31 May 2014, the Group has significant exposure to a group of customers, which constitutes approximately
45% (2013: 74%) of the trade receivables as at year end.

Retained earnings
Prior to the year of assessment 2008, Malaysian companies adopted the full imputation system. In accordance with
the Finance Act 2007 which was gazetted on 28 December 2007, companies shall not be entitled to deduct tax on
dividend paid, credited or distributed to its shareholders, and such dividends will be exempted from tax in the hands of
the shareholders ("single tier system"). However, there is a transitional period of six years, expiring on 31 December
2013, to allow companies to pay franked dividends to their shareholders under limited circumstances. Companies
also have an irrevocable option to disregard the revised 108 balance and pay dividends under the single tier system.
The change in the tax legislation also provides for the 108 balance to be locked-in as at 31 December 2007 in
accordance with Section 39 of the Finance Act 2007.
The Company did not elect for the irrevocable option to disregard the 108 balance. Accordingly, during the transitional
period, the Company may utilise the credit in the 108 balance to distribute cash dividend payments to ordinary
shareholders as defined under the Finance Act 2007. As at 31 May 2013, the Company has sufficient tax credit in
the revised 108 balance to pay franked dividends amounting to RM20,043,024 out of its retained earnings. Any 108
balance which has not been utilised as at 31 December 2013 is disregarded. Thereafter, the Company may distribute
dividends out of its entire retained earnings under the single tier system.
As at 31 May 2014, the Company has tax exempt profits available for distribution of approximately RM226,897 (2013:
RM226,897), subject to the agreement of the Inland Revenue Board.

The Group and the Company classify fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the
significance of the inputs used in making the measurement. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 : Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 : Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3 : Inputs for the assets and liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
inputs).

The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair values,
either due to their short-term nature or that they are floating rate instruments that are re-priced to market
interest rates on or near the reporting date.
The carrying amounts of the bank borrowings are reasonable approximations of fair values due to the
insignificant impact of discounting.
The fair values of bank borrowings are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows at market
incremental lending rate for similar types of lending, borrowing or leasing arrangements at the reporting date.

41.

Financial risk management objectives and policies


The Group and the Company are exposed to financial risks arising from their operations and the use of financial
instruments. The key financial risks include interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and market
price risk.
The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies and procedures for the management of these risks. The Audit
Committee provides independent oversight to the effectiveness of the risk management process.
It is, and has been throughout the current and previous financial year, the Groups policy that no derivatives shall
be undertaken except for the use as hedging instruments where appropriate and cost-efficient. The Group and the
Company do not apply hedge accounting.
The following sections provide details regarding the Groups and the Companys exposure to the above-mentioned
financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks.
(a)

Interest rate risk


Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Groups and the Companys financial
instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
As the Group has no significant interest-bearing financial assets, the Groups income and operating cash
flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Groups interest-bearing
financial assets are mainly short term in nature and have been mostly placed as deposits in licensed banks.
The Groups interest rate risk arises primarily from interest-bearing borrowings. Borrowings at floating rates
expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to
fair value interest rate risk. The Group manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining a mix of fixed and
floating rate borrowings.
Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk
At the reporting date, if interest rates had been 10 basis points lower/higher, with all other variables held
constant, the Groups profit net of tax would have been RM18,209 (2013: RM14,892) higher/lower, arising
mainly as a result of lower/higher interest expense on floating rate loans and borrowings. The assumed
movement in basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market
environment.

Financial risk management objectives and policies (contd.)


(b)

Foreign currency risk


Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
Some of the Groups subsidiaries have transactional currency exposures arising from sales or purchases that
are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Groups subsidiaries,
primarily RM. The foreign currencies in which these transactions are denominated are mainly US Dollars
(USD).
Approximately 14% (2013: 15%) of the Groups subsidiaries sales are denominated in foreign currencies.
The Groups subsidiaries trade receivable and trade payable balances at the reporting date have similar
exposures.
The Group also holds cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies for working capital
purposes. At the reporting date, such foreign currency balances (mainly in USD) amounted to RM12,085,331
(2013: RM20,532,718) for the Group.
Sensitivity analysis for foreign currency risk
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Groups profit net of tax to a reasonably possible
change in the USD exchange rates against the respective functional currencies of the Group entities, with all
other variables held constant.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations
due to shortage of funds. The Groups and the Companys exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from
mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Groups and the Companys objective is
to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of stand-by credit facilities.
The Group and the Company manage their debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability
of funding so as to ensure that all refinancing, repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall
liquidity management, the Group and the Company maintain sufficient levels of cash or cash convertible
investments to meet their working capital requirements. In addition, the Group and the Company strive to
maintain available banking facilities of a reasonable level to its overall debt position. Furthermore, the Group
and the Company are able to raise funds from both capital markets and financial institutions and balance
its portfolio with combination of a mixture of short and long term fundings so as to achieve overall cost
effectiveness.

(d)

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counterparty default
on its obligations. The Groups and the Companys exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other
receivables. For other financial assets (including investment securities, cash and bank balances and derivatives),
the Group and the Company minimise credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties.
The Groups objective is to seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to increased
credit risk exposure. The Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is the Groups
policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In
addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Groups exposure to
bad debts is not significant.
For transactions that do not occur in the country of the relevant operating unit, the Group does not offer credit
terms without the approval.
i.

Exposure to credit risk


At the reporting date, the Groups and the Companys maximum exposure to credit risk are
represented by:
(a)

The carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised in the statements of
financial position.

(b)

A nominal amount of RM19,648,086 (2013: RM16,426,914) relating to corporate guarantees


provided by the Company to financial institutions as securities for credit facilities granted to
subsidiaries.

Information regarding credit enhancements for trade and other receivables are disclosed in Note 24.
ii.

Credit risk concentration profile


The Group determines concentrations of credit risk by monitoring the country sector profile of its
trade receivables on an ongoing basis. The credit risk concentration profile of the Groups trade
receivables at the reporting date are as follows:

By country:
Within Malaysia
Germany
Switzerland
Singapore

(e)

Market price risk


Market price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Groups financial instruments will
fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than interest or exchange rates).
The Group is exposed to equity price risk arising from its investment in quoted equity instruments. The
quoted equity instruments in Malaysia are listed on Bursa Malaysia. The Group does not have exposure to
commodity price risk.

42.

Capital management
The primary objective of the Groups capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and
healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To
maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to
shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the years
ended 31 May 2014 and 31 May 2013.
The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Group
includes within net debt, borrowings, trade and other payables, less short term investments and cash and bank
balances. Capital includes equity attributable to the owners of the parent.
