Vision, Missions & Values


Our Vision
To always be ranked among the top choice companies in the markets we serve.
Our Missions
a. We will deliver products, solutions and services that are superior.
b. We will only sell what we can value add to.
c. We will be ruthlessly efficient.
d. We will be transparent, ethical and fair in all our dealings.
Our Values
a) Trustworthiness

Trust is the foundation for successful relationships with our customers, business partners, employees and
suppliers. The motto we value is simple yet powerful: Say what you can do, and do what you say. These
words hold within them the added values of Integrity, Honesty, Truth, Reliability and Consistency.
b) Team Spirit

The culture of mutual respect and consideration for each other, together with participation for the greater
good of everyone is instilled in every employee. This inspires a sense of unity which we believe translates
into delivering results.
c) Passion

We always remind ourselves that passion is the difference between mediocrity and excellence. It is the
quality that transforms work into a labour of love which makes the difference between a satisfied customer
and a delighted customer.
d) Resourcefulness
Being resourceful enables us to solve complex problems speedily and effectively in the fast-paced
environment in which we operate. As the world becomes smaller and its borders blurred, one person or,
for that matter, one company alone does not have all the answers to the growing complexity of business
challenges. Resourcefulness is the will to collaborate and draw on resources and knowledge both within and
without the company to deliver the best solutions to our clients.
e) Being Positive

We believe that a positive attitude towards work and life is the secret to achieving universal success. At
Mexter, we create an environment that nurtures growth and encourages our employees to develop a can
do spirit. We meet challenges head-on and seek to go beyond the clients expectations in every job we do.

For the financial year ended 31 December 2015, the Group has recorded a decrease of 8.5% in revenue to

in 2016 aimed at aligning and consolidating the business of the Group:(1) Market Strategy wherein the Group intensified efforts to pursue new markets and customers to market its
products and services by leveraging on the current relationship with existing customers and capitalising on
client database of the various divisions to cross sell the Groups suite of products and services.
(2) Product Strategy wherein the Group undertook an exercise to clearly define the Research & Development
(R&D) roadmap for the Group. At the same time, the Group also accelerated the development of new
products which had the highest commercial value with the aim of restoring the Groups advantage over its
competitors.
(3) Operational Strategy wherein the Group had embarked on a group-wide exercise to further define and
refine the robustness of its internal systems and processes which involved the upgrading of its accounting
and human resource system, amongst others.
(4) Cost Control Strategy wherein the Group pursued cost cutting measures to keep the operating costs of
the Group under control by redefining the way the Group carries out its business operations. This initiative
is still on-going and once materialised, is expected to help improve the bottom line of the Group.
(5) Human Capital Strategy wherein the Group, as part of its efforts to lay the foundation for an effective
succession plan invested substantially in human resource by employing capable people equipped with the
right experience, knowledge and skills to fill up senior, middle management and technical positions.

FUTURE OUTLOOK / PROSPECTS
The Malaysian economy is likely to see a moderate growth of 4.0%-4.5% in 2016 on expectations of slower
export growth and a pullback in domestic consumption after the government implemented Goods and Services
Tax, which is 6% in April 2015. Lower oil prices were also playing a role in the slowdown. However the supportive
government policy measures especially on the public infrastructure projects of the Economic Transformation
Programme (ETP) are expected to continue driving the growth. The implementation of structural reforms, as
envisioned in the governments New Economic Model, will be vital for boosting competitiveness and sustaining
growth in 2016.
The Board and management will continue to implement business rationalization strategies, by focusing on
effective marketing activities, penetrating new unsaturated overseas markets, developing new solutions and
services, streamlining operations, maintaining prudence in expenditures to ultimately put products and services
at a competitive price to the market, while maintaining the level of services that the market and our clients expect.
Whilst the results of some of these initiatives have borne fruit, most elements of these strategies are ongoing
exercises.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Board expects the Group to stabilize its earnings and improve on its
financial position.
Board changes
There were no changes to the board in 2015.
Acknowledgement
On behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity to extend its appreciation and thanks to the members
of our management team and staff for their hard work and commitment.
The Board also wish to record our gratitude and thanks to customers, suppliers, business associates, bankers,
government authorities and most importantly, the shareholders for their unwavering support and confidence in
the Company.
Thank you.

3. REINFORCE INDEPENDENCE (continued)


3.2 Tenure of Independent Directors
Notwithstanding the recommendation of the MCCG 2012, the Board is presently of the view that there is
no necessity to fix a maximum tenure limit for Directors as there are significant advantages to be gained
from the long-serving Directors who possess tremendous insight and knowledge of the Companys
businesses and affairs. Similarly, the Board does not set a time-frame on how long an Independent
Director should serve on the Board, mainly for the following reasons:

The ability of a Director to serve effectively as an Independent Director is very much dependent on
his calibre, qualification, experience and personal qualities, particularly his integrity and objectivity,
and has no real connection to his tenure as an Independent Director.
NC conducts an annual assessment of Independent Directors in respect of inter alia their skills,
experience and contributions, and whether the Independent Directors are able to discharge
their duties with unbiased judgement. Furthermore, the NC also reviews the Directors Profile of
Independent Directors and assess its family relationship, interest of shareholdings in the Company
and related party transactions with the Group (if any).

3.3 Shareholders approval to retain an Independent Director who has served for more than nine (9)
years
Mr. Andrew Su Meng Kit
Mr. Andrew Su Meng Kit, the Senior Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company has served
the Board as an Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company for a cumulative term of more
than nine (9) years.
After having assessed and reviewed, the NC was of the view that Mr. Andrew Su has demonstrated
throughout the terms of his office to be independent by exercising independent judgment when a matter
is put before him for decision. In addition, he also has the necessary knowledge of the business and
operations of the Group and has the experience to make informed decision and participate actively and
contribute positively during deliberations or discussions at Board Meetings. The length of his service
on the Board does not in any way interfere with his exercise of independent judgment and ability to act
in the best interests of the Group. The Board has assessed and with the recommendation of the NC,
strongly recommend to the members of the Company to vote in favour of the resolution for Andrew Su
Meng Kit to continue to serve as Senior Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company.
Dato Hj Mohammad Mokhtar Bin Hj Hasan
Dato Hj Mohammad Mokhtar Bin Hj Hasan, the Independent Non-Executive Chairman of the Company
who has served on the Board since 1 March 2008. His term of office as an Independent Non-Executive
Director will be 9 years cumulatively by 28 February 2017, which is before the AGM to be held in
year 2017. In accordance with the Code, the tenure of an independent director should not exceed a
cumulative term of nine years. It is thus appropriate for the Company to recommend such retention upon
expiry of his tenure of nine years as Independent Non-Executive Director at this forthcoming AGM.
After having assessed the independence of Dato Hj Mohammad Mokhtar and also the Assessment
by the NC, regards him to be independent based amongst others, he has demonstrated throughout
the terms of his office to be independent by exercising independent judgment when a matter is put
before him for decision. Thus, he would be able to function as check and balance, provide broader
view and brings an element of objectivity to the Board. To that, the Board with the recommendation of
the NC, recommend Dato Hj Mohammad Mokhtar to continue to serve as Independent Non-Executive
Chairman of the Company.
Save for the aforesaid, the remaining 1 Independent Director of the Company served less than tenure
of nine (9) years in the Company.

Boards effectiveness and conduct. He also promotes an open environment for debate and ensures
effective contributions from Non-Executive Directors. The Chairman also exercises control over the
quality, quantity and timeliness of information flow between the Board and Management. At a general

conduct and working of the Board whilst the Executive Director who is also the Managing Director is
responsible for the day to day management of the business, implementing the policies and decisions of
the Board, and coordinating the development and implementation of business and corporate strategies.
The Non-Executive Directors contribute in areas such as policy and strategy, performance monitoring,
as well as improving governance and controls. The Non-Executive Directors are independent from

independent judgment and objective participation and decision making process of the Board.

without the presence of the Executive Directors and the Management. The AC also meets with the
external auditors additionally whenever it deems necessary. Two discussion sessions between the
AC and the external auditors were held on 26 February 2015 and 27 August 2015 respectively. In
addition, the external auditors are invited to attend the AGM of the Company and are available to
answer shareholders questions on the conduct of the statutory audit and the preparation and contents
of their audit report.
The AC had obtained written assurance from its external auditors, Messrs. Baker Tilly Monteiro Heng,
confirmed that they are, and have been independent throughout the conduct of the audit engagement in
accordance with the terms of all relevant professional and regulatory requirements.
After having satisfied with the performance of Messrs. Baker Tilly Monteiro Heng (the adequacy of the
experience and resources of the firm, audit engagements, experienced supervisory and professional
staff assigned to the audit work, amongst others) and its audit independence, the AC recommended the
re-appointment of Messrs. Baker Tilly Monteiro Heng to the Board for approval by its shareholders at
the forthcoming 12th AGM.
6. RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK
6.1 Sound framework to manage risks
The Board oversees, reviews and monitors the operation, adequacy and effectiveness of the Groups
system of internal controls.

Companys assets as well as investors interests. In this regard, major internal control systems are
documented and followed by the management of the Group.
The Company continues to maintain and review its internal control procedures to ensure the protection

Board regularly reviews the results of this process, including measures taken by Management to address areas
of key risks as identified. This process has been in place for the financial year under review and up to the date

by the Group are monitored and properly addressed. It is at these meetings that key risks and corresponding
controls implemented are communicated amongst the senior management team. Significant risks identified
are subsequently brought to the attention of the Board at their scheduled meetings. The abovementioned risk
management practices of the Group is an on-going process of identifying, evaluating and managing significant
risks that may affect the Groups achievement of its corporate objectives.
Internal Audit Function

responsibilities. The Groups internal audit function is outsourced to a professional services firm to assist the
Board and Audit Committee in providing independent assessment on the adequacy, efficiency and effectiveness

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. CORPORATION INFORMATION

The Company is principally engaged in investment holding whilst the principal activities of the subsidiaries
are stated in Note 8 to the financial statements. There have been no significant change in the nature of these
principal activities during the financial year.

The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia and listed on ACE
market of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

The registered office and principal place of business of the Company are located at L-05-01, No. 2 Jalan
Solaris, Solaris Mont Kiara, 50480 Kuala Lumpur.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution
of the Directors on 13 April 2016.
.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 Statement of Compliance

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the
Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRSs), International Financial Reporting Standards and
the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.

2.2 Adoption of amendments/improvements to MFRSs


The Group and the Company have adopted the following amendments/improvements to MFRSs that
are mandatory for the current financial year:
Amendments/Improvements to MFRSs
MFRS 1
MFRS 2
MFRS 3
MFRS 8
MFRS 13
MFRS 116
MFRS 119
MFRS 124
MFRS 138
MFRS 140

First-time Adoption of Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards


Share-based Payment
Business Combinations
Operating Segments
Fair Value Measurement
Property, Plant and Equipment
Employee Benefits
Related Party Disclosures
Intangible Assets
Investment Property

The adoption of the above amendments/improvements to MFRSs did not have any significant effect on
the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, and did not result in significant changes to
the Groups and the Companys existing accounting policies, except for those as discussed below:
Amendments to MFRS 8 Operating Segments
Amendments to MFRS 8 require an entity to disclose the judgements made by management in applying
the aggregation criteria to operating segments. This includes a brief description of the operating segments
that have been aggregated and the economic indicators that have been assessed in determining that the
aggregated operating segments share similar economic characteristics.
The amendments also clarify that an entity shall provide reconciliations of the total of the reportable segments
assets to the entitys assets if the segment assets are reported regularly to the chief operating decision maker.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)


2.2 Adoption of amendments/improvements to MFRSs (Continued)

Amendments to MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

Amendments to MFRS 13 relate to the IASBs Basis for Conclusions which is not an integral part of the
Standard. The Basis for Conclusions clarifies that when IASB issued IFRS 13, it did not remove the
practical ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at invoice
amounts without discounting, if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amendments also clarify that the scope of the portfolio exception of MFRS 13 includes all contracts
accounted for within the scope of MFRS 139 or MFRS 9, regardless of whether they meet the definition
of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in MFRS 132.

Amendments to MFRS 116 Property, Plant and Equipment

Amendments to MFRS 116 clarify the accounting treatment for the accumulated depreciation when an
asset is revalued. They clarify that:

the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the
carrying amount of the asset; and
the accumulated depreciation is calculated as the difference between the gross carrying amount and
the carrying amount of the asset after taking into account accumulated impairment losses.

Amendments to MFRS 124 Related Party Disclosures

Amendments to MFRS 124 clarify that an entity providing key management personnel services to the
reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity is a related party of the reporting entity.
Amendments to MFRS 140 Investment Property
Amendments to MFRS 140 clarify that the determination of whether an acquisition of investment property
meets the definition of both a business combination as defined in MFRS 3 and investment property as
defined in MFRS 140 requires the separate application of both Standards independently of each other.

2.3 New MFRSs and amendments/improvements to MFRSs that have been issued, but yet to be

A brief discussion on the above significant new MFRSs and amendments/improvements to MFRSs are
summarised below. Due to the complexity of these new MFRSs and amendments/improvements to
MFRSs, the financial effects of their adoption are currently still being assessed by the Group and the
Company.
MFRS 9 Financial Instruments
Key requirements of MFRS 9: MFRS 9 introduces an approach for classification of financial assets which is driven by cash flow
characteristics and the business model in which an asset is held. The new model also results in a
single impairment model being applied to all financial instruments.
In essence, if a financial asset is a simple debt instrument and the objective of the entitys business
model within which it is held is to collect its contractual cash flows, the financial asset is measured
at amortised cost. In contrast, if that asset is held in a business model the objective of which is
achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, then the financial
asset is measured at fair value in the statements of financial position, and amortised cost information
is provided through profit or loss. If the business model is neither of these, then fair value information
is increasingly important, so it is provided both in the profit or loss and in the statements of financial
position.
MFRS 9 introduces a new, expected-loss impairment model that will require more timely recognition
of expected credit losses. Specifically, this Standard requires entities to account for expected credit
losses from when financial instruments are first recognised and to recognise full lifetime expected
losses on a more timely basis. The model requires an entity to recognise expected credit losses at
all times and to update the amount of expected credit losses recognised at each reporting date to
reflect changes in the credit risk of financial instruments. This model eliminates the threshold for the
recognition of expected credit losses, so that it is no longer necessary for a trigger event to have
occurred before credit losses are recognised.
MFRS 9 introduces a substantially-reformed model for hedge accounting, with enhanced disclosures
about risk management activity. The new model represents a significant overhaul of hedge accounting
that aligns the accounting treatment with risk management activities, enabling entities to better reflect
these activities in their financial statements. In addition, as a result of these changes, users of the
financial statements will be provided with better information about risk management and the effect of
hedge accounting on the financial statements.

The amendments also clarify the applicability of Disclosure Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities (Amendments to MFRS 7) to condensed interim financial statements.

Amendments to MFRS 101 Presentation of Financial Statements

Amendments to MFRS 101 improve the effectiveness of disclosures. The amendments clarify guidance
on materiality and aggregation, the presentation of subtotals, the structure of financial statements and
the disclosure of accounting policies.

Amendments to MFRS 116 Property, Plant and Equipment

Amendments to MFRS 116 prohibit revenue-based depreciation because revenue does not reflect the
way in which an item of property, plant and equipment is used or consumed.

Amendments to MFRS 127 Separate Financial Statements

Amendments to MFRS 127 allow a parent and investors to use the equity method in its separate financial
statements to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, in addition to the
existing options.

Amendments to MFRS 138 Intangible Assets


Amendments to MFRS 138 introduce a rebuttable presumption that the revenue-based amortisation
method is inappropriate. This presumption can be overcome only in the following limited circumstances:
when the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue, i.e. in the circumstance in which
the predominant limiting factor that is inherent in an intangible asset is the achievement of a revenue
threshold; or
when it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the
intangible asset are highly correlated.
Amendments to MFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and MFRS 128 Investments in
Associates and Joint Ventures
These amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in MFRS 10
and those in MFRS 128, in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its
associate or joint venture.
The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction
involves a business, as defined in MFRS 3. A partial gain or loss is recognised when a transaction
involves assets that do not constitute a business.

Amendments to MFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, MFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests


in Other Entities and MFRS 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

These amendments address the following issues that have arisen in the application of the consolidation
exception for investment entities:
Exemption from presenting consolidated financial statements: the amendments clarify that the
exemption from presenting consolidated financial statements applies to a parent entity that is a
subsidiary of an investment entity, when the investment entity measures all of its subsidiaries at fair
value.
Consolidation of intermediate investment entities: the amendments clarify that only a subsidiary is not
an investment entity itself and provides support services to the investment entity is consolidated. All
other subsidiaries of an investment entity are measured at fair value.
Policy choice for equity accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures: the amendments
allow a non-investment entity that has an interest in an associate or joint venture that is an investment
entity, when applying the equity method, to retain the fair value measurement applied by the investment
entity associate or joint venture to its interest in subsidiaries, or to unwind the fair value measurement
and instead perform a consolidation at the level of the investment entity associate or joint venture.

Amendments to MFRS 116 Property, Plant and Equipment and Amendments to MFRS 141
Agriculture

With the amendments, bearer plants would come under the scope of MFRS 116 and would be accounted
for in the same way as property, plant and equipment. A bearer plant is defined as a living plant that is
used in the production or supply of agricultural produce, is expected to bear produce for more than one
period and has a remote likelihood of being sold as agricultural produce, except for incidental scrap
sales.

Nevertheless, the produce growing on the bearer plant would remain within the scope of MFRS 141.
This is because the growth of the produce directly increases the expected revenue from the sale of the
produce. Moreover, fair value measurement of the growing produce provides useful information to users
of financial statements about future cash flows that an entity will actually realise as the produce will
ultimately be detached from the bearer plants and sold separately.

2.4 Functional and presentation currency


Unless otherwise indicated, the amounts in these financial statements have been rounded to the nearest
thousand.

2.5 Basis of measurement


The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared on the historical cost
basis, except as otherwise disclosed in Note 3.

2.6 Use of estimates and judgement




The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRSs requires the use of certain critical
accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of the revenue and expenses during the reporting period. It also requires Directors to exercise
their judgement in the process of applying the Groups and the Companys accounting policies. Although
these estimates and judgement are based on the Directors best knowledge of current events and
actions, actual results may differ.

The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and
estimates that are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

2.7 Change in accounting policy

During the financial year, the Group changed its accounting policy on land and buildings from cost model
to revaluation model. The change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Unless otherwise stated, the following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with items
which are considered material in relation to the financial statements of the Group and of the Company:3.1 Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures 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.
(i) Subsidiaries and business combination

Subsidiaries are entities (including structured entities) over which the Group is exposed, or has
rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the acquirees and has the ability to affect those
returns through its power over the acquirees.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from
the date the Group obtains control of the acquirees until the date the Group loses control of the
acquirees.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations from the acquisition
date.
For a new acquisition, goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the following:
the fair value of the consideration transferred, calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date
fair value of assets transferred (including contingent consideration), the liabilities incurred to
former owners of the acquiree and the equity instruments issued by the Group. Any amounts that
relate to pre-existing relationships or other arrangements before or during the negotiations for the
business combination, that are not part of the exchange for the acquiree, will be excluded from
the business combination accounting and be accounted for separately; plus
the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the
proportionate share of the acquirees identifiable net assets at the acquisition date (the choice of
measurement basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis); plus
if the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the previously
held equity interest in the acquiree; less
the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition
date.
The accounting policy for goodwill is set out in Note 3.5(i).
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss at
the acquisition date.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the
Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


3.1 Basis of Consolidation (Continued)
(i) Subsidiaries and business combination (Continued)

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the Group remeasures the previously held equity
interest in the acquiree to its acquisition-date fair value, and recognises the resulting gain or loss, if
any, in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that
have been previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or
loss or transferred to retained earnings where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest
were disposed of directly.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period
in which the business combination occurs, the Group uses provisional fair value amounts for the
items for which the accounting is incomplete. The provisional amounts are adjusted to reflect new
information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, including
additional assets or liabilities identified in the measurement period. The measurement period for
completion of the initial accounting ends as soon as the Group receives the information it was
seeking about facts and circumstances or learns that more information is not obtainable, subject to
the measurement period not exceeding one year from the acquisition date.

Upon the loss of control of subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the
former subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the
former subsidiary from the consolidated statement of financial position. Any surplus or deficit arising
on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the former
subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently,
it is accounted for as an associate, joint venture or an available-for-sale financial asset.

Changes in the Groups ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control
are accounted for as equity transactions. The difference between the Groups share of net assets
before and after the change, and the fair value of the consideration received or paid, is recognised
directly in equity.

(ii) Non-controlling Interests


Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly,
to owners of the Company and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial
position within equity.

Losses attributable to the non-controlling interests are allocated to the non-controlling interests
even if the losses exceed the non-controlling interests.

(iii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation


Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

3.2 Foreign Currency


(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
consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the
Companys functional currency.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


3.2 Foreign Currency (Continued)
(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 end of the
reporting period. 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 difference arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items
at the end of the reporting period 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 the profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of nonmonetary 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 assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into RM at the rate of exchange ruling
at the end of the reporting period and income and expenses are translated at exchange rates
at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken
directly to other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount
recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under foreign currency
translation reserve relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on 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.
3.3 Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation

(i) Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment (other than land and buildings) are measured at cost less
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The policy for the recognition
and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 3.6.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any
other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and
the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part
of that equipment.
The cost of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is
based on fair value at acquisition date. The fair value of property is the estimated amount for which
a property could be exchanged between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arms length
transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently
and without compulsion. The fair value of other items of plant and equipment is based on the quoted
market prices for similar items.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


3.3 Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation (Continued)

(i) Recognition and measurement (Continued)

When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they
are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

During the financial year, the Group have changed its accounting policy from cost model to
revaluation model for freehold land and buildings. The change in accounting policy has been applied
propectively.

Freehold land and buildings are measured at fair value, based on valuations by external independent
valuers, less accumulated depreciation on buildings and any accumulated impairment losses
recognised after the date of valuation.

Valuations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the fair value of the freehold land
and buildings does not differ materiality from the carrying amount.

A revaluation surplus is recognised in other comprehensive income and credited to the revaluation
reserve. However, the increase shall be recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a
revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. If an assets carrying
amount is decreased as a result of a revaluation, the decrease shall be recognised in profit or loss.
However, the decrease shall be recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any
credit balance existing in the revaluation reserve in respect of that asset.

(ii) Subsequent costs


The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying
amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will
flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of those parts that are
replaced is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment
are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives
of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying
amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. The
revaluation surplus included in the asset revaluation reserve in respect of an asset is transferred
directly to retained profits on retirement or disposal of the asset.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:Buildings
Plant and equipment
Furniture and fittings
Office equipment and renovation
Computer equipment
Motor vehicles

remaining useful lives of 40 years


10 12.5%
7 10%
10 12.5%
12.5 20%
14 20%

The depreciable amount is determined after deducting the residual value.


Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at the end of the reporting
period.

3.3 Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation (Continued)
(iv) Derecognition

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 arising on derecognition of the asset
is recognised in profit or loss.

(v) Assets under hire purchase


Property, plant and equipment acquired under hire purchase arrangements are capitalised at their
purchase cost and are depreciated on the same basis as owned property, plant and equipment. The
total amount payable under hire purchase arrangement is as shown under hire purchase liabilities.

3.4 Investment properties


Investment properties are properties held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction cost. Subsequent to initial
recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified
impairment losses.

Depreciation is charged to the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 49
years for buildings.

An investment property is derecognised on their disposal or when it is permanently withdrawn from use
and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. Any gains and losses arising from
derecognition of the asset is recognised in the profit or loss.

Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from
investment property carried at fair value to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent
accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. For a transfer from owner-occupied property to
investment property, any difference arising on the date of change in use between the carrying amount of
the item immediately prior to the transfer and its fair value is recognised directly in equity as a revaluation
of property, plant and equipment.

3.5 Intangible Assets


(i) Goodwill

Goodwill arises on business combinations is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the
aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests,
and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
After initially recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The
policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 3.6.

(ii) Research and development expenditure


Research expenditure is recognised as an expense when incurred. Costs incurred on development


projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible
assets when the following criteria are fulfilled:-
-
-
-

it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
Management intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
it can be demonstrated that the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell
the intangible assets are available; and
- the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably
measured.

(ii) Research and development expenditure (Continued)
Other development expenditure that does not meet these criteria is recognised as an expense when
incurred. Development expenditure previously recognised as an expense cannot be recognised as
an asset in subsequent period. Capitalised development expenditure are recorded as intangible
assets and amortised from that point at which the asset is ready for use or sale, on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful life.
The estimated useful lives of capitalised development expenditure are five (5) years.
Capitalised development expenditure are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation
and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The policy for the recognition and measurement of
impairment losses is in accordance with Note 3.6.
Capitalised development expenditure are derecognised upon disposal and no future economic
benefits are expected from its use of disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds,
if any and the net carrying amount is recognised in the profit or loss.
(iii) Shortcode expenditures and database
Shortcode expenditures and database are initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less
amortisation and allowance for impairment, if any. The policy for the recognition and measurement
of allowance for impairment losses is in accordance with Note 3.6. The amortisation period and
method are reviewed at least at each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the
expected pattern of consumption of economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by
changing the amortisation period or method and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
3.6 Impairment of Non-financial Assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period 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 value 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 the assets 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 the end of each reporting period 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. The 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 subsequent period.

3.7 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 a 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.
(i) 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 on the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
are recognised separately in the profit or loss as part of other losses or other income.
Financial asset 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 or non-current
based on the settlement date.
(ii) 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 end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current.
(iii)

Held-to-maturity investment
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-tomaturity 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 end of the reporting period which are classified as current.

3.7 Financial Assets (Continued)
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale 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 asset 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 effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss. Dividends
on an available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group and the
Companys right to receive payment is established.

Investment in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at
cost less impairment loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets unless they are expected to
be realised within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

A financial asset is derecognised where 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 market place 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.
3.8 Impairment of Financial Assets
The Group and the Company assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective
evidence that a financial asset is impaired.
(i) 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 Group and the Companys 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 or 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.

3.8 Impairment of Financial Assets (Continued)
(i) Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost (Continued)

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.

(ii) Unquoted equity securities carried at cost


If there is objective evidence (such as significant adverse changes in the business environment
where the issuer operates, probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the issuer)
that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at cost has been incurred, the amount of the
loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial
asset. Such impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods.

(iii) 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 instruments 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 of 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.

3.9 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based
on the first-in, first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and
bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price
in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

The fair value of inventory acquired in a business combination is determined based on its estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a
reasonable profit margin and based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventory.

3.10 Cash and Cash Equivalents


For the purpose of statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank
balances and short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, that
are readily convertible to known amounts of cash which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.

3.11 Financial Liabilities

3.11 Financial Liabilities (Continued)

Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the statement 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.
(i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss includes 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.

(ii) Other financial liabilities

The Groups and the Companys 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.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to
defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

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 a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is
recognised in profit or loss.

3.12 Financial Guarantee Contracts


A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because of a specified debtor fails to make payment when due.

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial guarantee contracts are recognised as income in profit or
loss over the period of the guarantee. If the debtor fails to make payment relating to financial guarantee
contract when it is due and the Group as issuer, is required to reimburse the holder for the associated
loss, the liability is measured at the higher of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligation at the end of the reporting period and the amount initially recognised less cumulative
amortisation.

3.13 Deferred Income


Deferred income represents maintenance services invoiced to customer(s) but services not yet
rendered and prepaid bulk services income as at year end.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)



3.14 Hire Purchase

Assets financed by hire purchase arrangements, which transfer substantially all the risks, and rewards
of ownership to the Group are capitalised as property, plant and equipment, and the corresponding
obligations are treated as liabilities. The assets so capitalised are depreciated in accordance with the
accounting policy on property, plant and equipment. Finance charges are charged to profit or loss over
the periods of the respective agreements.

3.15 Provisions for Liabilities


Provisions for liabilities are recognised when the Group or the Company have a present obligation as
a result of a past event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where
the Group or the Company expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as
a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. Provisions are not recognised
for future operating losses. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to
reflect the current best estimate. Where 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.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as
finance cost.

3.16 Borrowing 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.

3.17 Employee Benefits


(i) Short term employee benefits

Short term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave
and sick leave are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service
is provided.

A provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or
profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount
as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

The Groups contributions to the statutory pension fund are charged to the profit or loss in the year
to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment
obligations.

(ii) Post-employment benefits


The Group contributes to the Employees Provident Fund, the national defined contribution plan.
The contributions are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they are related. Once the
contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment obligations.

3.18 Revenue Recognition
(i) Goods sold and services rendered

Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at fair value of the consideration received or
receivable, net of returns and allowances, and trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue
is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the
buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods
can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods.

Revenue from information technologies services rendered is recognised in profit or loss in


proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period. The
stage of completion is assessed by reference to services performed to date as a percentage
of total services to be performed. Where the outcome of the transactions cannot be estimated
reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.

Revenue from mobile messaging gateway solutions and services is recognised upon delivery of
services, and verification and matching against settlement report received from telecommunication
service providers, as the indication of customers acceptance.

Revenue from information technology services rendered is recognised in profit or loss upon
performance of services, net of sales taxes, returns and discounts.

(ii) Dividend income


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

(iii) Interest income


Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis unless collectability is in doubt in which


recognition will be on a receipt basis.

3.19 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 end of the reporting period.

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 to equity.


(ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the end of the
reporting period 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.

3.19 Income Taxes (Continued)
(ii) Deferred tax (Continued)

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
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 the end of each reporting period 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 the end of each reporting period 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 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 end of the reporting period.

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.

3.20 Segment Reporting


For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments based on business
segments which are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker, which is the Managing
Director of the Group, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess
its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

3.21 Share Capital


An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of 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.

3.22 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. Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised in the
statements of financial position of the Group.

3.23 Fair value measurements


Fair value of an asset or a liability, except for share-based payment and lease transactions, is
determined as 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 measurement assumes that
the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability 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 participants 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 be use the asset in its highest and best use.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far
as possible. Fair value are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the input
used in the valuation technique as follows:-

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities that the
Group can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.


The Group and the Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the
date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES


Significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have
significant effect in determining the amounts recognised in the financial statements include the following:(i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment (Note 5)

The Group estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment based on the period over which the
assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment
are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical
wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the relevant
assets.

In addition, the estimation of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are based on internal
technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. It is possible, however, that future results of
operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates brought about by changes in factors
mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by
changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of the property,
plant and equipment would increase the recorded expenses and decrease the non-current assets.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES (CONTINUED)


(ii) Impairment of Non-financial Assets (Note 5 and Note 6)

The Group assesses impairment of assets whenever the events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable i.e. the carrying amount of the asset is
more than the recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is measured at the higher of the fair value less cost to sell for that asset and
its value-in-use. The value-in-use is the net present value of the projected future cash flow derived
from that asset discounted at an appropriate discount rate. Projected future cash flows are based on
the Groups estimates calculated based on historical, sector and industry trends, general market and
economic conditions, changes in technology and other available information.

(iii) Impairment of investment in subsidiaries (Note 8)


The Group carries out the impairment test based on a variety of estimation including the value-in-use of
the cash generating unit. Significant judgement is required in the estimation of the present value of future
cash flows generated by the subsidiaries, which involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by
assumptions used and judgement made regarding estimates of future cash flows and discount rates.
Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the results of the Groups tests for impairment of
investment in subsidiaries.

The carrying amounts of the investment in subsidiaries of the Company as at 31st December 2015 was
RM2,452,005/- (2014: RM3,857,713/-). The impairment loss on investment in subsidiary companies of
RM1,405,600/- were charged to profit or loss during the financial year.

(iv) Impairment of goodwill (Note 9)


The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units (CGU) to which goodwill is allocated. The CGUs
impairment test was based on value-in-use. Estimating a value-in-use amount requires Management to
make an estimate of the expected future cash flow from the CGU and also choose a suitable discount
rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Further details of the carrying value, the
key assumptions applied in the impairment assessment of goodwill are given in Note 9.

(v) Net realisable values of inventories (Note 11)


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 receivables (Note 12)


The Group assesses 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 considers
factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default
or significant delay in payments.

(vii) Valuation of warrants (Note 16)




The Group measures the value of the warrants by reference to the fair value at the date which they are
granted. The estimation of fair value requires determining the most appropriate valuation model.
This estimate also requires the determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model such
as the volatility, risk free interest rate, option life and making assumptions about them.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES (CONTINUED)


(viii) Contingent liabilities

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be
estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow
of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities
unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

The determination of treatment of contingent liabilities is based on Managements view of the expected
outcome of the contingencies for matters in the ordinary course of the business.

(xi) Income Taxes (Note 26)


The Group and the Company operate in various jurisdictions and are subject to income taxes in each
jurisdiction. Significant judgement is required in determining the Groups and the Companys estimation
for current and deferred taxes because the ultimate tax liability for the Group as a whole is uncertain.
When the final outcome of the tax payable is determined with the tax authorities in each jurisdiction,
the amounts might be different from the initial estimates of the taxes payables. Such differences may
impact the current and deferred taxes in the period when such determination is made. The Group
and the Company will make adjustments for current or deferred taxes in respect of prior years in the
current period on those differences arise. The income tax expenses of the Group and the Company are
disclosed in Note 26.

(x) Revaluation of Property, Plant and Equipment (Note 5)


The Group and the Company measure its freehold land and buildings at revalued amount with changes
in fair value being recognised in other comprehensive income. The Group and the Company engaged
independent valuation specialists to determine the fair value. The carrying amount of the freehold land
and buildings at the end of the reporting period, and the relevant revaluation bases, are disclosed in
Note 5 to the financial statements.

Policy on transfer between levels


The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or
change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
Level 1 fair value
Level 1 fair value is derived from quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial
assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 fair value
Level 2 fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the land and buildings, either directly or indirectly.
The freehold land and buildings of the Group were revalued on 24th November 2015 and 27th November
2015 based on valuation performed by independent firms of professional valuers using the comparison
method. The Directors are of the opinion that the carrying amount of the land and buildings do not
materially differ from the fair value as at reporting date.
The most significant inputs into this valuation approach are location, size and shape of the lot, condition
and design of the building, site facilities available, market conditions and other factors in order to arrive
at a common basis for comparison.
Level 3 fair value
Level 3 fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs for the land and buildings.

The Group has assessed the recoverable amounts of goodwill allocated and determined that no impairment
is required. The recoverable amounts of the cash-generating unit is determined using the value-in-use
approach, and this is derived from the present value of the future cash flows from the operating segments
computed based on the projections of financial budgets approved by management covering a period of 5
years.
The key assumptions used in the determination of the recoverable amounts are as follows:(a) The pre-tax discount rate of 13.07% per annum used reflects the Managements best estimate of return
on capital employed required;
(b) Growth rate of 5% has been used based on industry outlook for that segment; and
(c) The profit margins of 10% per annum used in the projections are based on historical actual margins.
The Management believes that no reasonable possible change in any of the above key assumptions would
cause the recoverable amount of the CGU to decline below its carrying value.

The Groups normal trade credit terms range from 14 to 90 days (2014: 14 to 90 days).

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and the Groups normal trade credit terms range from 14
to 90 days. Other credit terms are assessed and approved on a case-by-case basis. The credit period
varies from customers to customers after taking into consideration their payment track record, financial
background, length of business relationship and size of transactions. They are recognised at their
original invoice amounts which represent their fair values on initial recognition.

As at the end of the reporting period, the Group has significant concentration of credit risk in the form
of outstanding balances owing by 12 (2014: 10) customers representing 58% (2014: 39%) of the total
receivables respectively.

Receivables that are neither past due nor impaired


Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthy debtors with good
payment records with the Group.
None of the Groups trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired have been renegotiated
during the financial year.
Receivables that are past due but not impaired
The Group has trade receivables amounting to RM6,412,993/- (2014: RM3,387,130/-) that are past due
at the end of the reporting period but not impaired.
Based on Management experience, minimal receivables past due were written off due to nonrecoverability. The Management has a credit control procedure in place to monitor and minimise the
exposure of default. All in all, the Directors believe that no impairment loss is necessary in respect of
these trade receivables past due.
13. AMOUNT DUE FROM/(TO) SUBSIDIARIES

Amount due from/(to) subsidiaries are non-trade in nature, unsecured, interest free and repayable on
demand. All non-trade balances are in respect of advances to subsidiaries.

33. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(i) Classification of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured on an ongoing basis either at fair value or at
amortised cost. The principal accounting policies in Note 3 describe how classes of financial instruments
are measured, and how income and expense, including fair value gains and losses, are recognised. The
following table analyses the financial assets and liabilities in the statements of financial position by the
class of financial instruments to which they are assigned, and therefore by the measurement basis:

(ii) Financial Risk Management and Objectives


The Group and the Company seeks to manage effectively the various risks namely credit, interest rate,
liquidity and foreign currency risks, to which the Group and the Company are exposed to in their daily
operations.
(a) Credit risk

Trade and other receivables

The Management has a credit control procedure in place to monitor and minimise the exposure of
default. Trade receivables and amount due from subsidiaries are monitored on a regular and an
ongoing basis.

As at the end of the reporting period, the Groups and the Companys significant concentration
of credit risk is disclosed in Note 12(a) to the financial statements. The maximum exposure to
credit risk arising from trade and other receivables is represented by their carrying amounts in the
statements of financial position.

(a) Credit risk (Continued)
Financial guarantee contracts
The Company is exposed to credit risk in relation to financial guarantees given to banks in respect
of loans granted to certain subsidiaries. The Company monitors the results of the subsidiaries
and their repayment on an on-going basis. The maximum exposure to credit risks amounts to
RM2,756,000/- (2014: RM2,756,000/-) representing the maximum amount the Company could pay
if the guarantee is called on as disclosed in Note 33(c). As at the reporting date, there was no
indication that the subsidiary would default the repayment.
(b) Interest rate risk
The Groups primary interest rate risk relates to interest-bearing debts as at 31st December 2015.

Interest rate risk sensitivity


An increase in market interest rates by 1% on financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group
which have variable interest rates at the end of the reporting period would decrease the profit before
tax by RM21,550/- (2014: RM22,560/-). This analysis assumes that all other variables remain
unchanged.
A decrease in market interest rates by 1% on financial assets and liabilities of the Group which have
variable interest rates at the end of the reporting period would have had the equal but opposite
effect on the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain unchanged.
(c) 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 if the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Groups
and the Companys objectives 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 operating cash flows by maintaining sufficient level
of cash to meet its working capital requirements and availability of funding through an adequate
amount of credit facilities.

(ii) Financial Risk Management and Objectives (Continued)
(d) Foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a
currency other than Ringgit Malaysia. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily Indonesian
Rupiah, Euro, Singapore Dollar, Thai Baht, Taiwan Dollar and US Dollar. In the management of
foreign currency risk, the Group does not hedge these exposures by purchasing forward currency
contracts.

The Group is also exposed to foreign currency risk in respect of its investment in foreign subsidiaries.
The Company does not hedge this exposure by having foreign currency borrowings in view of the
insignificant amount of investment in the foreign subsidiaries.

Foreign currency risk sensitivity

A 10% strengthening of Ringgit Malaysia against the following foreign currencies at the end of
the reporting period would increase the profit before tax and other comprehensive income by the
amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain unchanged.

(iii) Fair Values of Financial Instruments


Determination of Fair Value

The methods and assumptions used to determine the fair value of the following classes of financial
assets and liabilities are as follows:(a) Cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables and payables

The carrying amounts of cash and bank balances, trade and other current receivables and payables
are reasonable approximation of fair values due to short term nature of these financial instruments.

(b) Borrowings

The carrying amounts of the current portion of borrowings are reasonable approximation of fair
values due to the insignificant impact of discounting.

The carrying amounts of long term floating rate loans are reasonable approximation of fair values
as the loans will be re-priced to market interest rate on or near reporting date.

(iv) Fair value measurement

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, the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement as a whole:(a) Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities;
(b) Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from 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); and
(c) Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs for the asset or liability that are not
based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Except for unit trusts, the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities of the Group and of the
Company at the reporting date approximated or were at their fair values.

Policy on transfer between levels
The fair value of asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or
change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
During the financial year ended 31st December 2015 and 2014, there was no transfer between the fair
value measurement hierarchy.
