INTRODUCTION

The Board of Directors (“the Board”) of Fibon

Berhad (“the Company”) is committed to exercise

good corporate governance by supporting and

applying the prescriptions of the principles and best

practices set out in Malaysian Code on Corporate

Governance 2012 (“MCCG 2012” or “the Code”).

The Board is pleased to provide the following

statement on how the Group has applied the

principles and recommendations set out in the

Code. Unless otherwise stated, the Board has

throughout the financial year ended 31 May 2014

complied with the best practices indicated in the

Code.

The Board acknowledges the importance of

achieving best practice in its standards of business

integrity and corporate accountability and is

committed to subscribe to the recommendations of

the Code.

The Board

The Group recognises the important role played by

the Board in the stewardship of the Group’s

direction and operations, and ultimately, the

enhancement of long-term shareholders’ value. To

fulfil this role, the Board is responsible for the

overall corporate governance of the Group,

including its strategic direction, establishing goals

for management and monitoring the achievement of

these goals.

In fostering commitment towards MCCG 2012, the

Board has established a Board Charter to ensure

that all Board members are aware of their fiduciary

duties and responsibilities for the proper

stewardship of the Group to provide reasonable

assurance for the success of the Group on

sustainable manner. The Board is tasked with

realisation of long term and sustainable

shareholder’s value and safeguarding the interests

of stakeholders.

Board Meeting

The Board ordinarily meets at least four (4) times a

year at quarterly intervals with additional meeting

convened when urgent and important decisions

need to be taken between the scheduled meetings.

During the financial year ended 31 May 2014, the

board met on four (4) occasions, where it

deliberated upon and considered a variety of

matters including the Group’s financial results,

major investments and strategic decisions and the

business plan and direction of the Group.

The present Board of Directors headed by the

chairman is comprised of:

4 Non-Independent Executive Directors

3 Independent Non-Executive Directors

The composition of the Board is basically in

compliance with the Bursa Securities Listing

Requirements and the Code. The Board

composition has been balanced to reflect the

interests of the major shareholders, management

and minority shareholders. Collectively, the

Directors bring a wide range of business and

financial experience relevant to the direction of the

Group.

The Board noted that one of the recommendations

of the MCCG 2012 is that the tenure of an

Independent Director should not exceed a

cumulative term of nine (9) years. In case of any

Independent Director exceeding cumulative term of

nine (9) years, he / she should be re-designated to

be Non-Executive Director or shareholders’

approvals would need to be obtained in order for he

/ she to remain as Independent Director. Amongst

the Board members, all the tenure of three (3)

Independent Non-Executive Directors have not

exceeded cumulative term of nine (9) years.

Another recommendation of the MCCG 2012 states

that the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive

Officer / Managing Director should be held by

different individuals, and the Chairman must be a

non-executive member of the Board. Otherwise, the

Board should comprise of majority independent

directors. Currently, the rules of the Chairman and

Managing Director are held by 2 separate Executive



14

Directors as the Board opines that there is sufficient

balance of Executive and Independent Non-

Executive Directors on the Board such that

decisions made are fully discussed and examined

taking into account the long-term interest of

shareholders, employees, customers and the many

communities with whom the Group conducts its

business. The board has been able to discharge its

duties professionally and effectively, uphold good

governance standards in their conduct. The board

will constantly review this recommendation and

work towards its compliance.

INTRODUCTION

The Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance

(‘The Code’) prescribes that all listed issuers should

have an internal audit function and all risks areas

identified.

The Principals and Best Practises in the Malaysian

Code on Corporate Governance state that the

Board should maintain a sound system of internal

control to safeguard shareholders’ investments and

the Group’s assets.

Paragraph 15.26(b) of the Bursa Securities Main

Market Listing Requirements also echoed that the

Board is ultimately responsible for the Group’s

system of internal control and for reviewing the

effectiveness of the internal control system.

Internal control system is primarily designed to cater

for the business needs and manage the potential

business risks of the Group.

There are inherent risks in any systems of internal

control, as such systems are designed to mitigate

rather than eliminate the likelihood of fraud and

error. Accordingly, these systems can provide only

reasonable and not absolute assurance against

material misstatement or loss. The concept of

reasonable assurance also recognises that the cost

of control procedures should not exceed the

expected benefits.

The Board is committed to maintain a sound system

of internal control in the Group and is pleased to

provide the following Statement on Internal Control

(“Statement”) pursuant to paragraph 15.26(b) of the

Bursa Securities Main Market Listing.

Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad

(“Bursa Securities”) and the Statement on Internal

Control: Guidance for Directors of Public Listed

Companies.

BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES

The Board acknowledges its responsibility for

maintaining a sound system of internal control to

safeguard shareholders’ investments and the

Group’s assets and for reviewing the adequacy and

integrity of the system. It should be appreciated that

achieving business objectives, and can only provide

reasonable and not absolute assurance against

operational and compliance controls to safeguard

shareholders’ investment and the Group’s assets.

RISK MANAGEMENT

operations as follows:

resolve areas with control weakness.

Internal Audit Functions

The internal audit function provides assurance of

the effectiveness of the system of internal controls

within the Group. Internal audit efforts are directed

towards areas with significant risks as identified by

the AC and the Management.

The Group had engaged an external independent

internal auditor to assist the AC, and by extension,

the Board. The scope covers the audit of business

units and operations as agreed with management.

From time to time, the scope is reviewed by the AC

to ensure its relevancy and effectiveness.

for improvement and subsequently reviews the

extent to which its recommendations have been

implemented, and reports directly to the AC on a

circumvention of control procedures by employees

and others, or the occurrence of unforeseeable

circumstances. The Board is of the view that the

system of internal control in place for the year under

review is sound and sufficient to safeguard

shareholders’ investments, stakeholders’ interests

and the Group’s assets.

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of FIBON BERHAD (Incorporated in Malaysia) Company No: 811010-H

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have audited the financial statements of Fibon Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial position as

at 31 May 2014 of the Group and of the Company, and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive

income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the

financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as

set out on pages 43 to 91.

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 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 judgement, 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 entity’s 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 entity’s 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

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the

Company as of 31 May 2014 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the financial year then ended in

accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the

requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Cont’d)

(a) During the current financial period, the Group has adopted the following new accounting standards and

interpretations (including the consequential amendments, if any):-

MFRSs and IC Interpretations (Including the Consequential Amendments)

MFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

MFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

MFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

MFRS 119 (2011) Employee Benefits

MFRS 127 (2011) Separate Financial Statements

MFRS 128 (2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

Amendments to MFRS 7: Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Amendments to MFRS 10, MFRS 11 and MFRS 12: Transition Guidance

IC Interpretation 20: Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine

Annual Improvements to MFRS 2009 – 2011 Cycle

The adoption of the above accounting standards and interpretations (including the consequential

amendments) did not have any material impact on the Group’s financial statements except as follows:

MFRS 10 replaces the consolidation guidance in MFRS 127 and IC Interpretation 112. Under MFRS 10,

there is only one basis for consolidation, which is control. Extensive guidance has been provided in the

standard to assist in the determination of control. There will be no financial impact on the financial

statements of the Group upon its initial application.

MFRS 13 defines fair value, provides guidance on how to determine fair value and requires disclosures

about fair value measurements. The scope of MFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument

items and non-financial instrument items for which other MFRSs require or permit fair value

measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances.

MFRS 13 has been applied prospectively as of the beginning of the current financial year. There will be

no financial impact on the financial statements of the Company upon its initial application.

The amendments to MFRS 7 (Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities) require

disclosures that will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential

effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with the entity’s recognised financial

assets and recognised financial liabilities, on the entity’s financial position. There will be no financial

impact on the financial statements of the Company upon its initial application.

The Annual Improvements to MFRSs 2009 – 2011 Cycle contain amendments to MFRS 1, MFRS 101,

MFRS 116, MFRS 132 and MFRS 134. These amendments have no material impact on the financial

statements of the Company upon their initial application.

(b) The Group has not applied in advance the following accounting standards and interpretations (including

the consequential amendments, if any) that have been issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards

Board (MASB) but are not yet effective for the current financial period:-

53


(b) The above accounting standards and interpretations (including the consequential amendments) are not

relevant to the Group’s operations except as follows:-

MFRS 9 (2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets.

Subsequently, this MFRS 9 was amended in year 2010 to include requirements for the classification and

measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition (known as MFRS 9 (2010)). Generally, MFRS 9

replaces the parts of MFRS 139 that relate to the classification and measurement of financial instruments.

MFRS 9 divides all financial assets into 2 categories – those measured at amortised cost and those

measured at fair value, based on the entity’s business model for managing its financial assets and the

contractual cash flow characteristics of the instruments. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most

of the MFRS 139 requirements. An entity choosing to measure a financial liability at fair value will present

the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in other

comprehensive income rather than within profit or loss. There will be no financial impact on the financial

statements of the Group upon its initial application but may impact its future disclosures.

The amendments to MFRS 116 and MFRS 138 prohibit revenue-based depreciation/amortization

because revenue does not, as a matter of principle, reflect the way in which an item of property, plant and

equipment/intangible assets is used or consumed. Therefore, the Group will be changing its current

depreciation/amortisation policy that based on revenue to the straight-line method, upon its initial

application of the amendments. There will be no financial impact on the financial statements of the Group

upon its initial application but may impact its future disclosures.

The amendments to MFRS 132 provide the application guidance for criteria to offset financial assets and

financial liabilities. There will be no financial impact on the financial statements of the Group upon its

initial application but may impact its future disclosures.

The amendments to MFRS 136 remove the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount when a

cash-generating unit (CGU) contains goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives but there has

been no impairment. Therefore, there will be no financial impact on the financial statements of the Group

upon its initial application but may impact its future disclosures.

The amendments to MFRS 139 allow hedge accounting to continue in a situation where a derivative,

which has been designated as a hedging instrument, is novated (i.e. parties have agreed to replace their

original counterparty with a new one) to effect clearing with a central counterparty as a result of laws or

regulations, if specific conditions are met. There will be no financial impact on the financial statements of

the Group upon its initial application but may impact its future disclosures.

IC Interpretation 21 clarifies the accounting for an obligation to pay a levy that is not income tax. The

obligation event that gives rise to a liability is the event identified by the legislation that triggers the

obligation to pay the levy. The fact that an entity is economically compelled to continue operating in a

future period, or prepares its financial statements under the going concern assumption, does not create

an obligation. The application of the interpretation to liabilities arising from emissions trading schemes is

optional.


MFRS 8, MFRS 13, MFRS 116, MFRS 124 and MFRS 138. These amendments have no material impact

on the financial statements of the Group upon their initial application but may impact its future

disclosures.


54


(b) The above accounting standards and interpretations (including the consequential amendments) are not

relevant to the Group’s operations except as follows (Cont’d):-


MFRS 13, MFRS 140. These amendments have no material impact on the financial statements of the

Group upon their initial application but may impact its future disclosures.

The amendments to MFRS 119 simplify the accounting treatment of contributions from employees and

third parties to defined benefit plans. Contributions that are independent of the number of years of service

shall be recognised as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related service is

rendered. For contributions that are dependent on the number of years of service, the Group is required

to attribute those contributions to periods of service using either based on the plan’s contribution formula

or on a straight-line basis, as appropriate. There will be no financial impact on the financial statements of

the Group upon its initial application but may impact its future disclosures.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the directors and management and are based on

historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be

reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and judgements that affect the application of the

Group’s accounting policies and disclosures, and have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment

to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed below:-

(i) Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment

The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the property,

plant and equipment are based on commercial and production factors which could change

significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors’ actions in response to the market

conditions.

The Group anticipates that the residual values of its property, plant and equipment will be

insignificant. As a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration for the computation

of the depreciable amount.

Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic

useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be

revised.

(ii) Income Taxes

There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination may be

different from the initial estimate. The Group recognises tax liabilities based on its understanding of

the prevailing tax laws and estimates of whether such taxes will be due in the ordinary course of

business. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially

recognised, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the year in

which such determination is made.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

(a) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Cont’d)

(iii) Impairment of Non-financial Assets

When the recoverable amount of an asset is determined based on the estimate of the value-in-use of

the cash-generating unit to which the asset is allocated, the management is required to make an

estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to apply a suitable

discount rate in order to determine the present value of those cash flows.

(iv) Amortisation of Development Costs

Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic

useful lives. Therefore, future amortisation charges could be revised.

(v) Write-down of Inventories

Reviews are made periodically by management on damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventories.

These reviews require judgement and estimates. Possible changes in these estimates could result in

revisions to the valuation of inventories.

(vi) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables

An impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired.

Management specifically reviews its loan and receivables financial assets and analyses historical

bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and

changes in the customer payment terms when making a judgement to evaluate the adequacy of the

allowance for impairment losses. 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. If the expectation is different from the estimation, such difference will

impact the carrying value of receivables.

(b) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its

subsidiaries made up to the end of the reporting period.

Subsidiaries are entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an

entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity

and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group up to the

effective date on which control ceases, as appropriate.

Intragroup transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. Where

necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure consistency of

accounting policies with those of the Group.


56


(b) Basis of Consolidation (Cont’d)

(i) Business Combinations

All subsidiaries are consolidated using the purchase method except for the subsidiary, Hexa Analisa

Sdn. Bhd., which are accounted for under the merger method.

Under the purchase method, the results of the subsidiaries acquired or disposed off are included

from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. At the date of acquisition, the fair values of

the subsidiaries’ net assets are determined and these values are reflected in the consolidated

financial statements. The cost of acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the

date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by

the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business

combination.

Non-controlling interests are initially measured at their share of the fair values of the identifiable

assets and liabilities of the acquiree as at the date of acquisition.

Under the merger method of accounting, the results of subsidiaries are presented as if the merger

had been effected throughout the current and previous years. In the consolidated financial

statements, the cost of the merger is cancelled with the nominal values of the shares received. Any

resulting debit difference is shown as merger deficit.

(ii) Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests are presented within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position,

separately from the equity attributable to owners of the Company. Profit or loss and each component of

other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling

interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the

non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of

those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes

in equity.

(iii) Changes in Ownership Interests in Subsidiaries without Change of Control

All changes in the parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are

accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-

controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of consideration paid or received is recognised

directly in equity and of the Group.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014


57


(b) Basis of Consolidation (Cont’d)

(iv) Loss of Control

Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group recognises any gain or loss on disposal in profit

or loss which is calculated as the difference between:-

(i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained

interest in the former subsidiary; and

(ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the former

subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.

Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the former

subsidiary are accounted for in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or

liabilities were disposed off (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained

profits). The fair value of any investments retained in the former subsidiary at the date when

control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under

MFRS 139 or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate

or a jointly venture.

(c) Functional and Foreign Currencies

(i) Functional and Presentation Currency

The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are presented in the currency of the

primary economic environment in which the entity operates, which is the functional currency.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) which is the

Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and Balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the respective functional currencies on initial

recognition, using the exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary

assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period are translated at the rates ruling as of that

date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates that existed when the

values were determined. All exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.

(iii) Foreign Operations

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to RM at the rates of exchange ruling at the

end of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated at

exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. All exchange differences arising from

translation are taken directly to other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under

translation reserve. On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount recognised in other

comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified from equity to profit

or loss.


58


(c) Functional and Foreign Currencies (Cont’d)

(iii) Foreign Operations (Cont’d)

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of foreign operations 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 end of the reporting period except for

those business combinations that occurred before the date of transition (1 June 2011) which are

treated as assets and liabilities of the Company and are not retranslated.

(d) Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the statements of financial position when the Group has become

a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the

contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified

as a liability, are reported as an expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments

classified as equity are charged directly to equity.

Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to

settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

A financial instrument is recognised initially at its fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable

to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument (other than a financial instrument at fair value

through profit or loss) are added to/deducted from the fair value on initial recognisation, as appropriate.

Transaction costs on the financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss are recognised

immediately in profit or loss.

Financial instruments recognised in the statements of financial position are disclosed in the individual

policy statement associated with each item.

(i) Financial Assets

On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through

profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables financial assets, or available-for-

sale financial assets, as appropriate.

Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss when the

financial asset is either held for trading or is designated to eliminate or significantly reduce a

measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise. Derivatives are also

classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or

losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. Dividend income from this

category of financial assets is recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive

payment is established.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014


59


(d) Financial Instruments (Cont’d)

(i) Financial Assets (Cont’d)

Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss(Cont’d)

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 purpose are presented as current or non-

current based on the settlement date.

As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this

category.

Held-to-maturity Investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable

payments and fixed maturities that the management has the positive intention and ability to hold

to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest method less any impairment loss, with interest income recognised in profit or loss on an

effective yield basis.

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 assets.


category.

Loans and Receivables Financial Assets

Trade receivables and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not

quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables financial assets. Loans and

receivables financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method,

less any impairment loss. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate,

except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Loans and receivables financial assets are classified as current assets, except for those having

settlement dates later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-

current assets.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated in this

category or are not classified in any of the other categories.

After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are remeasured to their fair values at

the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are

recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the fair value reserve, with the

exception of impairment losses. On derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously

accumulated in the fair value reserve is reclassified from equity into profit or loss.


60



(i) Financial Assets (Cont’d)

Available-for-sale Financial Assets(Cont’d)

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the

Group’s right to receive payments is established.

Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured

at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

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.


category.

(ii) Financial Liabilities

All financial liabilities are initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and

subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method other than those

categorised as fair value through profit or loss.

Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are either held for trading

or are designated to eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency

that would otherwise arise. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are

designated as hedges.

Financial liabilities 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.

(iii) Equity Instruments

Instruments classified as equity are measured at cost and are not remeasured subsequently.

Ordinary shares

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in

equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds.

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when approved for appropriation.

(iv) Derecognition

A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash

flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without

retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial

asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received

(including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss

that had been recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014


61



(iv) Derecognition (Cont’d)

A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the

contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference

between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and

the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is

recognised in profit or loss.

(e) Investments in Subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost in the statement of financial position of the Company, and

are reviewed for impairment at the end of the reporting period if events or changes in circumstances

indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. The cost of the investments includes transaction

costs.

On the disposal of the investments in subsidiaries, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and

the carrying amount of the investments is recognised in profit or loss.

(f) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation

and impairment losses, if any.

Freehold land is stated at cost less impairment losses, if any and is not depreciated.

Depreciation is charged to profit or loss on the straight-line method to write off the depreciable amount of

the assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation of an asset does not cease when the asset

becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated. The principal annual rates

used for this purpose are:-

Building 3% Plant and machinery 10- 20% Motor vehicles 10% Office equipment, furniture and fittings 10%

The depreciation method, useful life and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the

end of each reporting period to ensure that the amounts, method and periods of depreciation are

consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic

benefits embodied in the items of the property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent costs are included in the assets’ carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as

appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated

with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying

amount of parts that are replaced is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant

and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Cost also comprises the initial estimate of

dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site on which it is located for which the Group is

obligated to incur when the asset is acquired, if applicable.


62


(f) Property, Plant and Equipment (Cont’d)

Plant and machinery under construction represents assets which are not ready for commercial use at the

end of the reporting period. Plant and machinery under construction are stated at cost, and are

depreciated accordingly when the assets are completed and ready for commercial use.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic

benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the asset is recognised

in the profit or loss.

(g) Intangible Assets

(i) Research and Development Expenditure

Research expenditure is recognised as an expense when it is incurred.

Development expenditure is recognised as an expense except that expenditure incurred on

development projects are capitalised as non-current assets to the extent that such expenditure is

expected to generate future economic benefits. Development expenditure is capitalised if, and only if

an entity can demonstrate all of the following:-

(i) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the asset under development;

(ii) the product or process is technically and commercially feasible;

(iii) its future economic benefits are probable;

(iv) its intention to complete and the ability to use or sell the developed asset; and

(v) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the asset under

development.

Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and

impairment losses, if any. Development expenditure initially recognised as an expense is not

recognised as assets in the subsequent period.

The development expenditure is amortised on a straight-line method over a period of 5 years when

the products are ready for sale or use. In the event that the expected future economic benefits are

no longer probable of being recovered, the development expenditure is written down to its

recoverable amount.

(ii) Industrial Operating Right

Industrial operating right represents costs incurred by the Group to obtain Association of Short

Circuit Testing Authority (“ASCTA”) certifications for capabilities to design, construct and develop

low-voltage switchboards to meet international standards. As the ASCTA certifications do not have

any expiry date, the Group does not amortise these costs. Instead, impairment is tested annually or

more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the industrial operating right

might be impaired.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014


63


(h) Impairment

(i) Impairment of Financial Assets

All financial assets (other than those categorised at fair value through profit or loss), are assessed at

the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of

one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. For an equity

instrument, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is considered to be

objective evidence of impairment.

An impairment loss in respect of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables financial

assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset ’s carrying

amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s

original effective interest rate.

An impairment loss in respect of available-for-sale financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and

is measured as the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and

its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the fair value reserve. In

addition, the cumulative loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity

under fair value reserve, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, 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 through

profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is

reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been

recognised. In respect of available-for-sale equity instruments, impairment losses previously

recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value

subsequent to an impairment loss made is recognised in other comprehensive income.

(ii) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

The carrying values of assets, other than those to which MFRS 136 - Impairment of Assets does not

apply, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period for impairment when there is an indication

that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the

assets with their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the

assets’ fair value less costs to sell and their value-in-use, which is measured by reference to

discounted future cash flow.

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

In respect of assets other than goodwill, and when there is a change in the estimates used to

determine the recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is

treated as a reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying

amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no

impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in profit or loss immediately.


64


(i) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials is determined on

the first-in-first-out basis and comprises the cost of materials and incidentals incurred in bringing the

inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes

the cost of materials, labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion and the

estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(j) Income Taxes

Income taxes for the year comprise current and deferred tax.

Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the

reporting period and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at

the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the

tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and

unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which

the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. The

carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to

the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow all or

part of the deferred tax assets to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period

when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or

substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax

assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxation

authority.

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 transactions either in other

comprehensive income or directly in equity and deferred tax arising from a business combination is

included in the resulting goodwill or excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s

identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the business combination costs

ANNUAL REPORT 2014


65


(k) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances and demand deposits that are readily

convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value

with original maturity periods of three months or less.

(l) Employee Benefits

(i) Short-term Benefits

Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are

measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the

associated services are rendered by employees of the Company.

(ii) Defined Contribution Plans

The Company's contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in profit or loss in the

period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Company has no further

liability in respect of the defined contribution plans.

(m) Related Parties

A party is related to an entity (referred to as the “reporting entity”) if:-

(a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to a reporting entity if that person:-

(i) has control or joint control over the reporting entity;

(ii) has significant influence over the reporting entity; or

(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the reporting entity or of a parent of the

reporting entity.

(b) An entity is related to a reporting entity if any of the following conditions applies:-

(i) The entity and the reporting entity are members of the same group (which means that each

parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).

(ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of

a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).

(iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.

(iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third party and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.

(v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the reporting

entity or an entity related to the reporting entity. If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the

sponsoring employers are also related to the reporting entity.

(vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a) above.


66


(m) Related Parties (Cont’d)

(b) An entity is related to a reporting entity if any of the following conditions applies: - (Cont’d)

(vii) A person identified in (a)(i) above has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the

key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

Close members of the family of an individual are those family members who may be expected to

influence, or be influenced by, that individual in their dealings with the entity.

(n) Contingent Liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be

confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the

Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not

probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be

measured reliably.

A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a

change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow is probable, it will then be recognised as

a provision.

(o) Fair Value Measurements

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, regardless of whether that price is

directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. The measurement assumes that the

transaction takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most

advantageous market. For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market’s

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.

For financial reporting purposes, the fair value measurements are analysed into level 1 to level 3 as

follows:-

Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liability that

the entity can access at the measurement date;

Level 2: Inputs are inputs, other that quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for

the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The transfer of fair value between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in

circumstances that caused the transfer.

(p) Revenue and Other Income

(i) Sale of Goods

Revenue is recognised upon delivery of goods and customers’ acceptance and where applicable,

net of sales tax returns and trade discounts.

(ii) Dividend Income

Dividend income from investment is recognised when the right to receive dividend payment is

established.

(iii) Interest Income

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

(q) Operating Segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may

earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any

of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the

directors to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance,

and for which discrete financial information is available.

The nature and purpose of the reserve are as follow:-

Foreign Currency Translation Reserve

The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of

the financial statements of foreign operation whose functional currencies are different from that of the Group’s

presentation currency. It is also used to record the exchange differences arising from monetary items which form

part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operations, where the monetary item is denominated in either the

functional currency of the reporting entity or the foreign operation.

14. OTHER RESERVES (Cont’d)

Merger Deficit

The merger deficit in the financial year was related to the subsidiary which was consolidated under the merger

method of accounting.

The merger deficit arose from the difference between the carrying value of the investment and the nominal value

of the shares of the subsidiary upon consolidation using merger accounting principles.

15. RETAINED PROFITS

At the end of the reporting period, the Company will be able to distribute dividends out of its entire retained

profits under the single tier tax system.

30. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of market risks (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk

and equity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall financial risk management policy focuses

on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s

financial performance.

(a) Financial Risk Management Policies

The Group’s policies in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are as follows:-

(i) Market Risk

(ii) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will

fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk

arises mainly from interest-bearing financial assets. The Group’s policy is to obtain the most

favourable interest rates available. Any surplus funds of the Group will be placed with licensed

financial institutions to generate interest income.

Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis

The following table details the sensitivity analysis to a reasonably possible change in the

interest rates as at the end of the reporting period, with all other variables held constant:-

Decrease of 100 bp (2013: 100) (102) (110) - -

(iii) Equity Price Risk

The Group does not have any quoted investments and hence is not exposed to equity price

risks.

(ii) Credit Risk

The Group’s exposure to credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, arises mainly from trade

and other receivables. The Group manages its exposure to credit risk by the application of credit

approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures on an ongoing basis. For other financial assets,

the Group minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties.

The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in

respect of the trade and other receivables as appropriate. Impairment is estimated by management

based on prior experience and the current economic environment.


86



(ii) Credit Risk (Cont’d)

Credit risk concentration profile

The Group’s major concentration of credit risk relates to the amounts owing by one (1) (2013: one

(1)) groups of customer which constituted approximately 22% (2013: 24%) of its trade receivables as

at the end of the reporting period.

Exposure to credit risk

As the Group does not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the

carrying amount of the financial assets as at the end of the reporting period.

The exposure of credit risk for trade receivables by geographical region is as follows:-

The Group 2014 2013 RM’000 RM’000 Asia 4,996 5,066

Australia and Oceania 406 424 Others 48 37

5,450 5,527

Ageing analysis

The ageing analysis of the Group’s trade receivables as at 31 May 2014 is as follows:-

Carrying Value

2014 2013

The Group RM’000 RM’000

Not past due 2,911 2,370

- 3 to 6 months 1,293 1,619

5,450 5,527

Trade receivables that are past due but not impaired

The Group believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these trade receivables.

They are substantially companies with good collection track record and no recent history of default.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014


87



(ii) Credit Risk (Cont’d)

Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired

A significant portion of trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are regular

customers that have been transacting with the Group. The Group uses ageing analysis to monitor

the credit quality of the trade receivables. Any receivables having significant balances past due or

more than 180 days, which are deemed to have higher credit risk, are monitored individually.

(iii) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises mainly from general funding and business activities. The Group practises

prudent risk management by maintaining sufficient cash balances and the availability of funding

through certain committed credit facilities.

The following table sets out the maturity profile of the financial liabilities as at the end of the reporting

period based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (based on the rate at the end of the reporting

period):-

(b) Capital Risk Management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities within the Group will be able to maintain an optimal

capital structure so as to support their businesses and maximise shareholders’ value. To achieve this

objective, the Group may make adjustments to the capital structure in view of changes in economic

conditions, such as adjusting the amount of dividend payment, returning of capital to shareholders or

issuing new shares.

The Group manages its capital based on debt-to-equity ratio. As the Group has significant cash and cash

equivalents but a relatively small debt, the debt-to-equity ratio may not provide a meaningful indicator of

the risk of borrowings.

Under the requirement of Bursa Malaysia Practice Note No. 17/2005, the Company is required to

maintain a consolidated shareholders’ equity (total equity attributable to owners of the Company) equal to

or not less than the 25% of the issued and paid-up share capital. The Company has complied with this

requirement.

3. PROXY

i. A member entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote in his stead. A proxy may but need not be a member of the Company.

holdings to be represented by each proxy. iv. Where a member is an authorised nominee as defined under the Securities Industry (Central Depositories) Act 1991, it may

4. EXPLANATORY NOTES ON SPECIAL BUSINESS:

i) Ordinary Resolution – Mandate to issue shares pursuant to Section 132D of the Companies Act, 1965:

The Company wishes to renew the mandate on the authority to issue shares pursuant to Section 132D of the Companies Act, 1965 at the Seventh Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) of the Company (hereinafter referred to as the “General Mandate”). The Company has been granted a general mandate by its shareholders at the Sixth AGM of the Company held on 25 October 2013 (hereinafter referred to as the “Previous Mandate”). The Previous Mandate granted by the shareholders had not been utilised and hence no proceeds were raised therefrom. The purpose to seek the General Mandate is to enable the Directors of the Company to issue and allot shares at any time to such persons in their absolute discretion without convening a general meeting as it would be both time and cost-consuming to organise a general meeting. This authority unless revoked or varied by the Company in the general meeting, will expire at the next Annual General Meeting. The proceeds raised from the General Mandate will provide flexibility to the Company for any possible fund raising activities, including but not limited to further placing of shares, for purpose of funding future investment project(s), working capital and/or acquisitions.

ii) Ordinary Resolution – Proposed Renewal Share Buy Back by the Company

The Proposed Ordinary Resolution No. 8 is passed, will authorise the Company to purchase up to ten per cent (10%) of the issue and paid-up share capital of the Company through Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. All other information remains unchanged.
