Financial Highlight:

The Groups sales revenue for the FYE 2013 increased by 18% to RM975.78 million
as compared to the revenue of RM830.12 million in the previous FYE2012. This
represents a rise of RM145.66 million in sales. The increase in revenue was the result
of stronger sales from the Groups operations.
Pre-tax profit registered RM40.57 million in FYE2013, a decline of 43% or a decrease
of RM30.37 million over the previous FYE2012 of RM70.94 million. Profit after tax at
RM33.97 million for FYE2013 was lower compared to RM51.57 million in the
corresponding period of FYE2012 reflecting a decline of 34% or RM17.60 million.
The decline in profit in FYE2013 was mainly due to sharp fluctuations in gold prices
between the time of purchases of gold jewellery and their sales to customers. This time
lag exposes Poh Kongs profit performance to volatile gold prices. Profit margins rise
when gold prices increase and compress when prices fall. Although the steep drop in
global gold prices from April to June triggered a gold rush creating a strong demand
for gold jewellery and gold investment products, this plunge in gold prices at a two
year low inevitably affected Poh Kongs operating profits in FYE2013.

1.2 KHIND HOLDINGS BERHAD

Khind Holdings Berhad was established in 1961. Mr. Cheng King Fa, aged 77, is the
founder of the Khind group, which commenced as a small family business 54 years
ago. He started a modest business in Sekinchan trading electrical goods. Under his
vision and guidance, the business has grown into one of Malaysias leading local
electrical products manufacturer. With 54 years experience in the electrical industry, he
provides invaluable advice to the Group on production, marketing, new product
research and development.
Mr. Cheng King Fa was appointed Executive Chairman of the Group on 20 April 1998
prior to the Companys listing on the Second Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities
Berhad on 12 August 1998.
Today, the Khind Group, which was listed on the KLSE on 12 August 1998,
manufactures and distributes world-class electrical home appliances across Malaysia
and exports to over 50 countries worldwide.
Over the years, the Group has undergoes a natural evolution, from Khind 1.0 to Khind
3.0 as of today. Khind 3.0 was rolled out to address a changing business landscape that
took into consideration the needs and wants of a new generation of audiences that
wanted to see a more responsive, responsible and resolute company that could bring a
little ray of happiness to their lives. And in so doing, We Deliver Happiness - is the
Companys new vision going forward. This new vision will be firmly supported by the
core foundation of Quality and five core values of: Kindness, Harmony, Interesting,
Novelty and Development - depicted by its acronym of K.H.I.N.D.

BBPW 3203

A Natural Evolution:

During the year, the Group embarked on a worthy and much needed self-introspective
exercise to define where it wanted to be in the 21st Century and beyond. With an ever
growing audience of technologically-savvy consumers and users around the globe,
there was a need for Khind to re-visit its core vision and mission. Over the last 53
years of Khinds development, one constant remained - change.
During its initial first two decades of growth, the Group was focused on providing
sustenance to its founders and scions. This was generally known as Khind 1.0.
Subsequently, the next three decades represented the fruitful years of success or better
identified as Khind 2.0.
As the Group arrived to maturity after five decades of success and challenges, it was
timely to reinvigorate what the Company stood for going into the new century. This
resulted in Khind 3.0 - We Deliver Happiness being launched in 2013.

Short-Term Spontaneous Financing:

Spontaneous financing is defined as financing which flows with the volume of sales
activity during normal business operation that requires no additional assistance from
lenders or creditors. Also, this financing originally scheduled for repayments within a
year. These spontaneous financing sources also have no explicit cost attached to them.
Therefore, these types of financing are more attractive to firms for daily operations. This
kind of financing is unsecured and does not require the pledge of specific assets as
collateral. The most common resources for this kind of financing include accruals and
trade and other payables.
Accruals:
Accruals are liabilities for service received for which payment has yet to be made. An
accrual is a kind of debt that has been incurred or accumulated over a period of time, but
has not been paid yet. For example, the accrual expenses include the wages, bonus and
audit fees.
This type of debt is free and the company can use it without having to pay any explicit
interest. For instance, a company pays its employees at the end of each month for their
hours worked through the 25th day of the month. To fully record the wage expense for
the entire month, it also accrued RM32,000 in additional wages, which represents the cost
of wages for the remaining days of the month, and this additional wages will be pay at the
following month.
In Poh Kong, the Group has an accruals of RM9,132,200 in FYE2013 representing a
18.36% decrease over the previous year of RM11,185,282. The decrease in accruals
indicate a good situation for Poh Kong Group, this may due to the increase in Groups
sales revenue from 830.12 million in FYE2012 to 975.78 million in FYE2013, thus
generate a strong cash flow for the Group to pay their debts.

12

BBPW 3203

Trade and other payables:

Trade payable is the aggregate amount of an entity's short-term obligations to pay
suppliers for products and services which the entity purchased on credit. If trades payable
are not paid within the payment terms agreed to with the supplier, the payables are
considered to be in default, which may trigger a penalty or interest payment, or the
revocation or curtailment of additional credit from the supplier.
Trades payable are considered a source of cash, since they represent funds being
borrowed from suppliers. When trades payable are paid, this is a use of cash. Given these
cash flow considerations, suppliers have a natural inclination to push for shorter payment
terms, while creditors want to lengthen the payment terms.
From a management perspective, it is of some importance to have accurate trade payable
records, so that suppliers are paid on time and liabilities are recorded in full and within
the correct time periods. Otherwise, suppliers will be less inclined to grant credit, and the
financial results of a business may be incorrect.
Whereas, other payables that are not considered trade payable are those payment that not
related with trade supplier.

The Poh Kong Groups trade payable has decrease by 59.65%. This is because the normal
credit terms granted to the Group has shortened from 7 to 180 days in FYE 2012 to 1 to
180 days in FYE2013. The Group are able to settle the creditors debt in a shorter period
if compared with previous year.

BBPW 3203

Short-Term Non-Spontaneous Financing:

Non-spontaneous sources of financing are those fund sources that do not occur on the
day-to-day operating level of a firm and this liability originally scheduled for repayments
within a year.
For example, a firm purchases raw materials on credit from a supplier. They must pay off
this account after 30 days. During this time period, the firm turns these raw materials into
consumer goods. Consumers purchase these goods on credit. Before the firm receives the
money from the customers who purchased their goods on credit, the firm must pay off the
suppliers they purchased the initial materials from (that they used to manufacture the
goods that in turn were sold to the customers). This creates a cash flow deficit. The firm
must generate the funds needed to pay off their suppliers as they will not receive the
money from their own customers until after they are due to pay off their suppliers.
These non-spontaneous sources of funds are borrowed from lenders or banks that they
will pay back at a later time period. The loan can be divided into two basic categories.
These are secured loans and unsecured loans.
A secured loan is a form of debt in which specific assets have been pledged to guarantee
payment. A secured loan is a promise to pay a debt, where the promise is secured by
granting the creditor an interest in specific property belonging to the debtor. If the debtor
defaults on the loan, the creditor can recover the money by seizing and liquidating the
specific property used as collateral on the debt. In Poh Kong, examples of secured loans
are bank overdraft, bankers acceptance, revolving credit, short-term loan and term loan.
An unsecured loan is also a promise to pay a debt. But unlike a secured loan, the promise
in an unsecured loan is not supported by granting the creditor an interest in any specific
property. The lender is relying on the creditworthiness and reputation of the borrower to
repay the obligation. In Poh Kong, examples of unsecured loans are hire purchase and
finance lease.

14

BBPW 3203

Bank Overdraft:
According to Investopedia, bank overdraft is defined as an extension of credit from a
lending institution when an account reaches zero. An overdraft allows the individual or
company to continue withdrawing money even if the account has no funds in it. In other
words, the customers can have a negative balance in the bank's records for the company's
checking account.
In Poh Kong, the bank overdrafts of the Group are denominated in RM and incurs
weighted average effective interest at 8.10% in FY2013 (31.7.2012:8.46%) per annum.
The bank overdrafts of the Group are secured by a combination of the following :(a) corporate guarantees and indemnity from the Company;
(b) a legal charge over properties of certain subsidiaries;
(c) a negative pledge on certain subsidiaries assets; and
(d) fixed deposits place with licensed banks of the Group
The Group has a bank overdraft of RM973,372 in FYE2013, representing a 71.84%
decrease over the previous year of RM3,456,139. This decrease in bank overdraft may
due to the huge increase in bankers acceptance, there are almost 100% increase in
bankers acceptance from RM52.16mil in FYE 2012 to RM104.3mil in FYE 2013. Thus,
the Group need not to keep so much bank overdraft and pay high interest for that.
The weighted effective interest for bank overdraft is between 8.10% to 8.46% per annum,
whereas the weighted effective interest for bankers acceptance is between 4.17% to
4.57% per annum. This shows that the bankers acceptance offers the better interest rate if
compared to bank overdraft.

15

BBPW 3203

Bankers Acceptance, Revolving Credit and Short-term Loan:

Bankers acceptance is a short-term debt instrument issued by a firm that is guaranteed by
a commercial bank. They are issued by firms as part of a commercial transaction.
Banker's acceptances are traded at a discount from face value on the secondary market,
which can be an advantage because the banker's acceptance does not need to be held until
maturity. They vary in amount, according to the size of the commercial transaction. The
date of maturity typically ranges between 30 and 180 days from the date of issue.
However, banker's acceptances are considered to be relatively safe investments, since the
bank and the borrower are liable for the amount that is due when the instrument matures.
Revolving credit is a line of credit where the customer pays a commitment fee and is then
allowed to use the funds when they are needed. It is usually used for operating purposes,
fluctuating each month depending on the customer's current cash flow needs. It can be
taken out by both corporations and individuals. The bank that is in agreement with the
customer guarantees a maximum amount that can be loaned to the customer. Along with
the commitment fee there are also interest expenses for corporate borrowers and carry
forward charges for consumer accounts. (Investopedia, n.d.)
When your business does not qualify for a line of credit from a bank, you might still have
success in obtaining money from then in the form of a one-time, short-term loan (less
than a year) to finance your temporary working capital needs. If you have established a
good banking relationship with a banker, he or she might be willing to provide a shortterm note for one order or for a seasonal inventory or accounts receivable buildup.
The bankers acceptance, revolving credit and short-term loan facilities of the Group are
denominated in RM and are secured by a combination of the following :(a) corporate guarantees and indemnity from the Company;
(b) a legal charge over properties of certain subsidiaries;
(c) a negative pledge on certain subsidiaries assets; and
(d) fixed deposits place with licensed banks of the Group.

Based on the table above, there is a huge increase in bankers acceptance, there are almost
100% increase in bankers acceptance from RM52.16mil in FYE 2012 to RM104.3mil in
FYE 2013. This may due to the lower interest rate offers by the bank if compared with
the previous year, which is from 4.57% per annum in FYE2012 to 4.17% - 4.27% per
annum in FYE2013.
Whereas, the Groups short-term loan has decreased by 20.27%, this may also due to the
increase in Groups sales revenue from 830.12 million in FYE2012 to 975.78 million in
FYE2013, thus generate a strong cash flow for the Group to pay their short-term loan.

Term Loan:

17

BBPW 3203

Term loan is a loan from a bank for a specific amount that has a specified repayment
schedule and a floating interest rate. Term loans almost always mature between one and
10 years.
The term loan that need to repay within one year are categorised as current liabilities, and
the term loan that need to repay after one year are categorised as non-current liabilities or
it is also known as a kind of intermediate / long-term financing sources.
The term loans of the Group are secured by way of:(a) A legal charge over properties of certain subsidiaries; and
(b) Corporate guarantees and indemnity from the Company.
Term loan facilities of the Group are denominated in RM, incur weighted average
effective interest at rates of 4.60% in FY2013 (31.7.2012: 5.13%).

per annum in FYE2012 to 4.60% per annum in FYE2013. Thus, the Group borrows more
term loan in current year FYE2013.
Whereas, with the strong cash flow generate from sales activities, the Group also pays
their non-current term loan in FYE2013, and this cause a decrease of 12.60% in noncurrent term loan from RM7,581,264 in FYE2012 to RM6,626,299 in FYE2013.

Hire Purchase:

19

BBPW 3203

Hire purchase is a type of asset finance that allow firms or individuals to possess and
control an asset during an agreed term, while paying instalments covering interest to
cover capital cost.
Hire purchase is a financing solution suitable for businesses wishing to purchase assets
without paying the full value immediately. The customer pays an initial deposit, with the
remainder of the balance and interest paid over a period of time. Although the total sum
of capital payments for hire purchase will be higher than the full payment on the asset
purchase, but it allows companies to control and deploy assets without significant drain
on working capital and fixed-rate funding makes budgeting easy as the lessee has clear
sight of future expenditures. On completion, ownership of the asset transfers to the
customer.
The Poh Kong Groups hire purchase payables bear effective interest rates at 3.07% in
FY2013 (31.7.2012: 3.07%).
The Groups hire purchase payable is disclosed as following:

Non-Current

Based on the disclosure above, we noticed that there is an increase of 7.53% in hire
purchase payable; this is due to the additional purchase of motor vehicles in FYE2013.
According to notes to the financial statements 2(d), the net carrying amount of motor
vehicles acquired under hire purchase arrangements of which instalments are still
outstanding in FYE2013 is RM5,204,291 (FYE2012:RM5,132,035).
Finance Lease:
20

BBPW 3203

A finance lease is a form of financing that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards
incidental to ownership over a leased asset from the lessor to the lessee. By signing the
contract and delivering the leased asset, the lessor transfers economic ownership over the
leased asset, while legal ownership is transferred only upon the expiration of lease, on
payment of the final instalment. In a finance lease, the lessee uses the leased asset for
most of its lifecycle, as with loans.
Advantages of finance lease:

There is typically an option to buy equipment at end of lease term.

Typically, it is easier to obtain lease financing than loans from commercial

lenders.

You can keep upgrading; as new equipment becomes available you can upgrade to
the latest models each time your lease ends.

There is less upfront cash outlay; you do not need to make large cash payments
for the purchase of needed equipment.

Leasing is inflation friendly. As the costs go up over five years, you still pay the
same rate as when you began the lease. In addition, the lease is not connected to
the success of the business. Therefore, no matter how well the business does, the
lease rate never changes.

Disadvantages of finance lease:

You have an obligation to continue making payments. Typically, leases may not
be terminated before the original term is completed. Therefore, the renter is
responsible for paying off the lease. This can pose a major financial problem for
the owners of a business experiences a downturn.

You have no equity until you decide to purchase the equipment at the end of the
lease term, at which point the equipment has depreciated significantly.

Although you are not the owner, you are still responsible for maintaining the
equipment as specified by the terms of the lease. Failure to do so can prove costly.

Based on the disclosure above, we noticed that there is a decrease of 63.74% in finance
lease payable. According to notes to the financial statements 2(e), the net carrying
amount of equipment, furniture and fittings acquired under finance lease arrangement of
which instalments are still outstanding in FYE2013 is RM3,137,890 (FYE2012:
RM5,263,111). Thus, there is no much addition of assets acquired under finance lease
arrangement, oppositely there are more payments made for the finance lease payables.

BBPW 3203

Intermediate / Long-Term Financing Sources:

Intermediate / long term sources of finance are those that are needed over a longer period
of time - generally over a year. Intermediate / long term financing services are provided
to those business entities that face a shortage of capital. It is different from short term
financing which is normally used to provide money that has to be paid back within a year.
The period may be shorter than one year as well.
It is important to remember that in most cases, a firm will not use just one source of
finance but a number of sources. There might be a dominant source of funds but when
you are raising hundreds of millions of money it is unlikely to come from just one source.
In Poh Kong Group, the intermediate / long-term financing sources are term loans, hire
purchase, finance lease and ICP/IMTN.
Whereas term loans, hire purchase and finance lease already provide the clearly
explanations in above statement. Now, lets us have a look on ICP/IMTN.

23

BBPW 3203

ICP/IMTN (Islamic Commercial Paper / Islamic Medium Term Notes)

According to notes to financial statement 17.2, the ICP/IMTN programme is a facility
denominated in RM of up to RM150 million granted to the Group and to the Company
and is based on Islamic financing principles in accordance with Syariah concept and
principle of Al-Kafalah.
The proceeds of the ICP/IMTN programme shall be utilised for the following purpose:(a) To finance group wide restructuring programme; and
(b) To finance capital expenditure.
The ICP/IMTN bear interest at rates ranging from 3.85% to 4.20% (31.7.2012: 3.85% to
4.20%) per annum, with Danajamin to act as guarantor to guarantee the repayment
obligations and is secured by way of third party first fixed legal charge over the following
properties of the Group :

Accruals:
As mentioned previously, accruals are short-term liabilities such as wages, bonus and
audit fee which continually occur during an accounting period but are not supported by
an invoice or a written demand for payment. When preparing financial statements for that
accounting period, such liabilities are estimated on the basis of experience or previous
payments.
In Khind Holdings Berhad, the Group has an accruals of RM15,110,000 in FYE2013
representing a 28.18% increase over the previous year of RM11,788,000.
With the new evolution of Khind 3.0, the Khind Group has the objective to deliver
happiness to all their stakeholders who are the shareholders, employees, customers,
suppliers, community and company. As such, there is an effort to be made in order to
fulfil these objectives.
For example, the Group has made an efforts to improve overall work surroundings for
employees. At Khinds headquarters in Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam additional amenities
such as: a yoga area and karaoke room were put in place to further improve its Wellness
Centre catering to employees. Similarly, at its manufacturing facility at Sekinchan,
improved landscaping and the creation of a mini garden park helped green the
environment and provided a more pleasant surrounding for Khinds manufacturing
employees.
With these all additional efforts made, there are no doubts that there will be an increase in
the accruals expenses.

Trade and other payables:

Trade payable is the aggregate amount of an entity's short-term obligations to pay
suppliers for products and services which the entity purchased on credit. If trades payable
are not paid within the payment terms agreed to with the supplier, the payables are
considered to be in default, which may trigger a penalty or interest payment, or the
revocation or curtailment of additional credit from the supplier.
Whereas, other payables that are not considered trade payable are those payment that not
related with trade supplier.
The disclosure of trade and other payables in Khind Holdings Berhad are as follow:

Based on the disclosure above, the trade payables has decreased by 12.76% which is from
RM22,221,000 in FYE2012 to RM19,385,000 in FYE2013. This may due to the Group
turned in a revenue of RM325.0 million in FYE2013 - representing a 12.6% increase over
the previous year of RM288.6 million. This generate a strong cash flow for Khind Group
to pay their creditors debt.

Bank Overdraft:
Bank overdraft is defined as an extension of credit from a lending institution when an
account reaches zero. An overdraft allows the individual or company to continue
withdrawing money even if the account has no funds in it. In other words, the customers
can have a negative balance in the bank's records for the company's checking account.
In Khind Holdings Berhad, the bank overdrafts of the Group are categorized into secured
bank overdraft and unsecured bank overdraft. Secured bank overdrafts are secured by
ways of fixed charges over the Groups office building are guaranteed by the Company.
The bank overdrafts of the Group are denominated in RM and the carrying amount and
contractual interest rate are as following:

Based on the table above, the Group has a bank overdraft of RM1,288,000 in FYE2013,
representing a 13.56% decrease over the previous year of RM1,490,000. But, there is an
increase of RM491,000 in secured bank overdraft from RM415,000 in FYE2012 to
RM906,000 in FYE2013, this may due to the drop in contractual interest rate which is
from 8.09% - 11.25% per annum in FYE2012 to 7.28% per annum in FYE2013. This
situation encourages Khind Group to borrow more secured bank overdraft.
However, there is a decrease of RM693,000 in unsecured bank overdraft from
RM1,075,000 in FYE2012 to RM382,000 in FYE2013. This is because the interest rate
for unsecured bank overdraft becomes higher which increase from 1.09% per annum in
29

BBPW 3203

FYE2012 to 7.28% per annum in FYE2013. This situation discourage the Group to
borrows more unsecured bank overdraft.
Bankers Acceptance:
Bankers acceptance is a short-term debt instrument issued by a firm that is guaranteed by
a commercial bank. They are issued by firms as part of a commercial transaction.
Banker's acceptances are traded at a discount from face value on the secondary market,
which can be an advantage because the banker's acceptance does not need to be held until
maturity. They vary in amount, according to the size of the commercial transaction. The
date of maturity typically ranges between 30 and 180 days from the date of issue.
However, banker's acceptances are considered to be relatively safe investments, since the
bank and the borrower are liable for the amount that is due when the instrument matures.
In Khind Holdings Berhad, the unsecured bankers acceptances are supported by negative
pledge executed by subsidiaries and guaranteed by the Company.
The bankers acceptances of the Group are denominated in RM and the carrying amount
and contractual interest rate are as following:

Based on the table above, the Group has a bankers acceptance of RM44,206,000 in
FYE2013, representing a 6.11% increase over the previous year of RM41,661,000. This
is because the contractual interest rate drop from 3.53% - 5.89% per annum in FYE2012
to 1.49% - 5.75% per annum in FYE2013. This situation will definitely encourage the
Group to borrow more bankers acceptance.

Term Loan:
Term loan is a loan from a bank for a specific amount that has a specified repayment
schedule and a floating interest rate. Term loans almost always mature between one and

the term loan that need to repay after one year are categorised as non-current liabilities or
it is also known as a kind of intermediate / long-term financing sources.

ii) supported by corporate guarantee from the Company.

increase may also due to the lower interest rate offered by the bank, in FYE2013 the
lowest interest rate of term loan can go to 1.68% per annum, whereas in FYE2012 the
lowest interest rate of term loan only 2.61%, which is higher than FYE2013. Futhermore,

Hire purchase is a financing solution suitable for businesses wishing to purchase assets
without paying the full value immediately. The customer pays an initial deposit, with the
remainder of the balance and interest paid over a period of time. On completion,
ownership of the asset transfers to the customer.

5. SUMMARY
One of the most important issues facing all businesses, whether a business in the start-up
phase or well-established, is the obtaining of appropriate levels of financing. Whether it is
needed for investing in land, buildings or equipment, hiring new employees, investing in
inventory or moving into new markets, obtaining sufficient financing to accomplish these
goals is a dilemma nearly all business owners face.
Debt financing means a method of financing in which a company receives a loan and
gives its promise to repay the loan. Debt financing often comes with strict conditions or
covenants in addition to having to pay interest and principal at specified dates. Failure to
meet the debt requirements will result in severe consequences. Adding too much debt will
increase the company's future cost of borrowing money and it adds risk for the company.
Debt financing includes both secured and unsecured loans.
Security involves a form of collateral as an assurance the loan will be repaid. If the debtor
defaults on the loan, that collateral is forfeited to satisfy payment of the debt. Most
lenders will ask for some sort of security on a loan. For example, guarantors sign an
agreement stating they'll guarantee the payment of the loan or equipment provides 60 to
65 percent of its value as collateral for a loan.
On the other hand, in unsecured loan, your credit reputation is the only security the lender
will accept. You may receive a personal loan for several thousand dollars--or more--if
you have a good relationship with the bank. But these are usually short-term loans with
very high rates of interest.
Most outside lenders are very conservative and are unlikely to provide an unsecured loan
unless you have done a tremendous amount of business with them in the past and have
performed above expectations. Even if you do have this type of relationship with a
lender, you may still be asked to post collateral on a loan due to economic conditions or
your present financial condition.
40

BBPW 3203

In addition to secured or unsecured loans, most debt will be subject to a repayment

period. There are three types of repayment terms:
(a) Short-term
(b) Intermediate-term
(c) Long-term
Generally, short term financing is defined as a loan or credit facility with a maturity of
one year or less. In short-term financing, it can be categorized into two group which are
spontaneous financing and non-spontaneous financing.
Spontaneous financing is defined as financing which flows with the volume of sales
activity during normal business operation that requires no additional assistance from
lenders or creditors. Non-spontaneous sources of financing are those fund sources that do
not occur on the day-to-day operating level of a firm.
Furthermore, intermediate / long term sources of finance are those that are needed over a
longer period of time - generally over a year. These financing services are provided to
those business entities that face a shortage of capital. Such obligations would include
company bond issues or long-term leases that have been capitalized on a firm's balance
sheet.
