Chairman & Managing Directors Statement
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors and Management, it is a privilege to present to you the Annual Report of Adventa
Berhad (the Company) for the nancial year ended (FYE) 31st October 2016.
Our year closed with mixed results. The Company performed to expectation in sterilization but peritoneal home dialysis
is still in the process of clearing through the required approvals in the Government administrative system. This had
dragged down the FYE 2016s results unexpectedly.
Peritoneal home dialysis
Nonetheless, the home dialysis program has had several successes with regulatory and healthcare provider approvals,
among others, is the Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam, or Public Services Department, Malaysia. The Company is working hard
to secure a reasonable budget in the public health system, but the fact remains that the delay in budget provisions from the
Government is stalling the countrywide rollout scheduled for last year. The good news is that there are private patients
coming on board, in higher numbers than expected. This shows that the home dialysis concept is in demand with only the
payment factor being a constraint. The coming year should see an increase in patient count locally and with high probability,
overseas. Elsewhere there are inroads into export potentials in the regions. Our overseas programs are on track and are
expected to contribute significantly to the coming years results, compared to the current years results. As this is a medical
service provision that is mostly public funded, more time is needed to address the bureaucratic systems.

The Audit Committees composition, duties & responsibilities, terms of reference and activities are set out on pages
REINFORCE INDEPENDENCE
3.1. Annual Assessment of Independence
The Board recognises the importance of independence and objectivity in the decision-making process. The
Independent Directors bring their respective knowledge and experience and provide independent judgement to the
Board. The Board is committed in ensuring that Independent Directors are capable and willing to make decisions in
the best interests of the Company and the shareholders free from interest or influence and are independent of the
Management.
The Independent Directors namely, Mr Edmond Cheah Swee Leng, Mr Toh Seng Thong and Dato Dr. Norraesah
Binti Haji Mohamad fulfilled the criteria of Independence as prescribed under the Main LR. The key criteria for the
appointment of an Independent Director is one who is not a member of the management (a Non-Executive Director)
and who is free of any business or other relationship which could interfere with the exercise of independent
judgement or the ability to act in the best interests of the Company. The Board composition complies with the Main
LR of Bursa Securities which requires that at least two (2) Directors or one-third (1/3) of the Board of the Company,
whichever is the higher, to be Independent Directors.

contd
REINFORCE INDEPENDENCE contd
3.2. Tenure of Independent Directors
The Board opts to deviate from Recommendation 3.2 of the Code which states that the tenure of an Independent
Director should not exceed a cumulative term of nine (9) years. Upon completion of the nine (9) years, an
independent Director may continue to serve in the Board subject to the Directors re-designation as a
non-independent Director.
Both the Nomination Committee and the Board have assessed the independence of Mr. Edmond Cheah Swee Leng,
Mr. Toh Seng Thong and Dato Dr. Norraesah Binti Haji Mohamad and are satisfied with the skills, contribution and
independent judgment that the said Independent Non-Executive Directors bring to the Board in facilitating decision
processes of the Company. The Board is of the view that even though the tenure of Mr. Edmond Cheah Swee Leng,
Mr. Toh Seng Thong and Dato Dr. Norraesah Binti Haji Mohamad has exceeded nine (9) years, there are significant
advantages to be gained from long-serving Directors who not only possess tremendous insight but also in-depth
knowledge of the Companys business and affairs.
Key justifications for retaining them as Independent Non-Executive Directors are as follows:-
Mr. Edmond Cheah Swee Leng, Mr. Toh Seng Thong and Dato Dr. Norraesah Binti Haji Mohamad fulfill the
criteria under the definition on Independent Director as stated in the Main LR of Bursa Securities and therefore,
are able to bring independent and objective judgment to the Board;
Mr. Edmond Cheah Swee Leng, Mr. Toh Seng Thong and Dato Dr. Norraesah Binti Haji Mohamad understand
the Companys business operations which enable them to contribute actively and effectively during
deliberations or discussions at Audit Committee and Board meetings, as the case may be;
A chartered accountant by profession, Mr. Edmond Cheah Swee Lengs professional experience in the fields of
audit, merchant banking, corporate and financial advising, portfolio and investment management, unit trust
management and financial planning, would enable him to provide the Board and Board Committees, as the case
may be, with pertinent and a diverse set of expertise, skills and competence;
Mr. Toh Seng Thongs experience of over 27 years in auditing, taxation and corporate advisory and financial
advisory as a practicing Chartered Accountant of Malaysia would enable him to lead the Audit Committee and
serve the Board effectively by providing invaluable insight into the Companys business, thereby increasing his
contribution to the Company; and
Dato Dr. Norraesah Binti Haji Mohamad served the Government of Malaysia from 1972 to 1988 for a total of 16
years before leaving the public sector to join the private sector and her working experience of more than 44
years in banking, consultancy and international trade and commerce would enable her to contribute actively and
effectively in expressing her views and in participating in deliberations and decision making of the Audit
Committee and the Board.
3.3. Separation of position of the Chairman and Managing Director
The Board composition is in compliance with Paragraph 15.02(1) of the Main LR of Bursa Securities and
Recommendation 3.4 of the Code, wherein it states that the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (in
this case, the Managing Director) should be held by different individuals, and the Chairman must be a non-executive
member of the Board.
There is a clear division of responsibility between the Chairman and the Group Managing Director to ensure that
there is a balance of power and authority. The Chairman leads the Board and facilitates its work. He engages directly
with the Group Managing Director to understand and oversee the strategy implementation and performance
delivery. He is responsible for ensuring the processes of the Board are effective in carrying out its duties and
responsibilities, including the timely provision of sufficient relevant information on financial and non-financial
matters. The Chairman, in conjunction with the Managing Director and Company Secretary, sets agendas for the
meetings of the Board that focus in strategic direction and performance of the Group. The Group Managing Director
is responsible for the day to day management of the Groups operations and business as well as implementation of
the Boards policies and decisions.

at each Board meeting are minuted and signed by Chairman of the meeting.

Time Commitment and Protocol for accepting new directorships
The Board is satisfied with the level of time commitment extended by the Directors in fulfilling their roles and
responsibilities as Directors of the Company. This is evidenced by the attendance record of the Directors at Board
meetings.
Directors are expected to have the relevant expertise in order to contribute positively to the Companys
performance and to give sufficient time and attention to carry out their responsibilities to the Company and Group.
The Board obtains this commitment from its new members at the time of appointment. The Board has established
policies and procedures where a Director should notify the Chairman officially, before accepting any new
directorship from any other company and the notification shall set out the expectation and an indication of time
commitment that will be spent on the new appointment. This is so that Directors are able to devote sufficient time
commitment to their roles and responsibilities as Directors of the Company. Any Board member shall not hold more
than five (5) directorships in listed companies at any one time.

rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and therefore can only provide reasonable and not
absolute assurance against material misstatement, loss or fraud. Notwithstanding this, the Board requires that the
procedures and controls in place are subject to regular review as part of an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating
and managing the significant risks faced by the Group.
The Board has received assurance from the Managing Director, Finance Director and the management team of the Group
that the Groups risk management and internal control systems have been operating adequately and effectively, in all
material aspects, during the financial year under review and up to the date of this Statement.
The Board has extended the responsibilities of the Audit Committee (AC) to include the role of reviewing and
monitoring the effectiveness of the Groups internal control system. The AC receives assurance reports from the Internal
Auditors on findings from audits carried out at operating units, and the External Auditors on areas for improvement
identified during the course of statutory audit. The Reports of the AC is set out on pages 25 to 28 of the Annual Report.
RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
The oversight of the Groups risk management process is the responsibility of the Managing Director who is assisted by
the heads of department of the respective operating companies. During the year, the Group monitored significant risks
and risk mitigation strategies on an ongoing basis through its management at the Risk Management Committee (RMC)
meetings and Board meetings. Under the purview of the RMC, the respective heads of each operating subsidiary and
department of the Group are empowered with the responsibility of managing their respective operations. Its functions
include, inter alia:
developing risk management framework;

coordinate the updating of the risk profile;
monitor the implementation of action plans; and
review and assess the applicability of the control environment in mitigating risk.
In view of a constantly changing environment and competitive landscape, the Board is committed in maintaining a system
of internal control that comprises the following environment, key processes and monitoring systems:
An annual risk assessment analysis that assists the management to continuously identify significant risks associated
with key processes within a changing business and operating environment;
The AC, through the RMC, reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the Groups risk management and internal
control procedures as well as any internal control issues identified by the Internal and External Auditors. This also
involves identifying alternative controls to reduce risk identified;
The AC, through the Internal Audit the internal audit team from PKF Advisory Sdn Bhd, assess the potential financial
and non-financial impacts to the business risk identified and with the assistance of the RMC formulate and develop
action plan to address the risk with timeline.
The RMC updates the risk profile of operating companies and Group, monitor and update progress to the AC
annually.

contd
RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK contd
Within the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework, risks and control measures are documented and compiled
by the RMC to represent the risk profile of the operating companies which in turn are consolidated to form the risk profile
of the Group. Risk profiles are reviewed and updated on a yearly basis. Meetings are held at least once a year in which
the updated risk profile will be deliberated by the AC before reporting to the Board.
During the financial year under review, the Group has continued with its ERM efforts. The risk profile of the Group was
reviewed and updated to reflect the current conditions.
INTERNAL AUDIT
The internal audit function adopts a risk-based approach and prepares its strategies and plans for ACs approval prior to
execution of internal audit assessments. Internal audit reviews the internal controls in the key activities of the Groups
businesses.
The internal audit team from PKF Advisory Sdn. Bhd. (PKF), the independent consulting firm to which the internal audit
function has been outsourced, assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control system based on the scope
of work approved by the AC and reports to the AC on its findings and recommendations for improvement. The Internal
Auditor also reviews the extent to which its recommendations have been accepted and implemented by the
Management. The AC reviews internal audit reports and management responses thereto and ensures significant findings
especially control deficiencies are adequately addressed and rectified by the Management of the operating units
concern. The AC reviews internal control matters and update the Board on significant issues for the Boards attention and
action.
The Internal Auditors, which report directly to the AC, conducts reviews on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Groups
system of internal controls that the management has put in place. These internal auditors review the internal controls in
the key activities of the Groups business based on a 3-year detailed internal audit plan approved by the AC. Based on
these audits, the Internal Auditors provide the AC with annual reports highlighting observations, recommendations and
management action plans to improve the system of internal control.
During the financial year ended 31 October 2016, the AC with the assistance of the external professional consulting firm,
PKF, reviewed the adequacy and integrity of the Groups internal control systems relating to the following processes:-
Sales and Accounts Receivable; and

Procurement and Account Payable.
OTHER KEY ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROL
Apart from risk management and internal audit, the Groups system of internal controls comprises the following key
elements:-
a well defined organisational structure with clear reporting lines and accountabilities;
clearly defined internal policies and procedures for key processes to ensure full compliance by all operating units
and to minimise operating risks;
a close monthly monitoring and review of financial results and forecasts for all operating units by the Managing
Director; and
clear reporting structures to ensure proper monitoring of the Groups operations together with regular quarterly
reports which monitor the Groups performance.

contd
OPINION OF THE BOARD
The improvement of the system of internal control is an ongoing process and the Board maintains an ongoing
commitment to strengthening the Groups internal control and risk management environment and processes.
Based on the internal processes which have been put into place by the Management, as well as the activities carried out
by and subsequent reports of the outsourced Internal Audit function, the Board is of the view that the Groups system of
internal control and risk management is sufficiently sound and adequate to safeguard the shareholders investments and
Groups assets for the financial year under review.
The Board has received assurance from the Managing Director and Financial Controller that the Groups internal control
and risk management system is operating adequately and effectively at the operating companies.
This statement is made in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors dated 17 February 2017 and has been

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES contd
2.2 Standards issued but not yet effective cont'd
Amendments to MFRS 116 and MFRS 138: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and
Amortisation
The amendments clarify that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from
operating a business (of which the asset forms part of the business) rather than the economic benefits that
are consumed through the use of an asset. As a result, a revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate
property, plant and equipment and may only be used in very limited circumstances to amortise intangible
assets.
The amendments do not have any impact to the Group as the Group has not used a revenue-based method
to depreciate its non-current assets.
Amendments to MFRS 11 Joint Arrangements: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations
The amendments to MFRS 11 require that a joint operator which acquires an interest in a joint operations
which constitute a business to apply the relevant MFRS 3 Business Combinations principles for business
combinations accounting. The amendments also clarify that a previously held interest in a joint operation is
not remeasured on the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation while joint control is
retained. In addition, a scope exclusion has been added to MFRS 11 to specify that the amendments do not
apply when the parties sharing joint control, including the reporting entity, are under common control of the
same ultimate controlling party.
These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Groups consolidated financial statements as
there has been no interest acquired in a joint operation.
Amendments to MFRS 127: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements
The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint
ventures and associate in their separate financial statements. Entities already applying MFRS and electing to
change to the equity method in its separate financial statements will have to apply this change
retrospectively. For first-time adopters of MFRS electing to use the equity method in its separate financial
statements, they will be required to apply this method from the date of transition to MFRS. These
amendments do not have any impact on the Groups and the Companys financial statements.
Amendments to MFRS 101: Disclosure Initiatives
The amendments to MFRS 101 include narrow-focus improvements in the following five areas:
- Materiality
- Disaggregation and subtotals
- Notes structure
- Disclosure of accounting policies
- Presentation of items of other comprehensive income arising from equity accounted investments
The amendments do not have any impact on the Groups and the Companys financial statements.

contd
Amendments to MFRS 10, MFRS 12 and MFRS 128: Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation
Exception
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. The amendments further clarify that only a subsidiary that is not an investment entity
itself and provides support services to the investment entity is consolidated. In addition, the amendments
also provides that if an entity that is not itself an investment entity has an interest in an associate or joint
venture that is an investment entity, the entity may, when applying the equity method, retain the fair value
measurement applied by that investment entity associate or joint venture to the investment entity associates
or joint ventures interests in subsidiaries.
The amendments do not have any impact on the Groups financial statements as the Group does not apply
the consolidation exception.
Annual Improvements to MFRS 20122014 Cycle
The Annual Improvements to MFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle include a number of amendments to various MFRSs,
which are summarised below. These amendments do not have a significant impact on the Groups and the
Companys financial statements.
Standards Descriptions
MFRS 5 The amendment to MFRS 5 clarifies that changing from one disposal method
Non-current to the other should not be considered to be a new plan of disposal, rather it is
Assets Held for a continuation of the original plan. There is therefore no interruption of the
Sale and Discontinued application of the requirements in MFRS 5.
Operations
The amendment also clarifies that changing the disposal method does not
change the date of classification. This amendment is applied prospectively.
MFRS 7 The amendment clarifies that a servicing contract that includes a fee can
Financial constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset. An entity must assess the
Instruments: nature of the fee and arrangement against the guidance for continuing
Disclosures involvement in MFRS 7 in order to assess whether the disclosures are required.
In addition, the amendment also clarifies that the disclosures in respect of

offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities are not required in the
condensed interim financial report. This amendment is applied retrospectively.
MFRS 119 The amendment to MFRS 119 clarifies that market depth of high quality
Employee Benets corporate bonds is assessed based on the currency in which the obligation is
denominated, rather than the country where the obligation is located. When
there is no deep market for high quality corporate bonds in that currency,
government bond rates must be used. This amendment is applied
prospectively.
MFRS 134 The amendment states that the required interim disclosures must either be in
Interim Financial the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference between
Reporting the interim financial statements and wherever they are included within the
greater interim financial report (e.g., in the management commentary or risk
report). The other information within the interim financial report must be
available to users on the same terms as the interim financial statements and at
the same time. This amendment is applied retrospectively.

contd
Amendments to MFRS107: Disclosures Initiatives
The amendments to MFRS 107 Statement of Cash Flows require an entity to provide disclosures that enable
users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both
changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. On initial application of this amendment, entities are
not required to provide comparative information for preceding periods. These amendments are effective for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017, with early application permitted. Application of
amendments will result in additional disclosures to be provided by the Group and the Company.
Amendments to MFRS 112: Recognition of Deferred Tax for Unrealised Losses
The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable
profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference.
Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits
and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than
their carrying amount.
Entities are required to apply the amendments retrospectively. However, on initial application of the
amendments, the change in the opening equity of the earliest comparative period may be recognised in
opening retained earnings (or in another component of equity, as appropriate), without allocating the change
between retained earnings and other components of equity. Entities applying this relief must disclose that
fact.
These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 with early
application permitted. If an entity applies this amendments for an earlier period, it must disclose that fact.
These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Group and on the Company.
MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
MFRS 15 establishes a new five-step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts with customers.
MFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including MFRS 118 Revenue, MFRS 111
Construction Contracts and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.
The core principle of MFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue which depict the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Under MFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e when
control of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the
customer.
Either a full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Directors anticipate that the application of MFRS 15 will
have a material impact on the amounts reported and disclosures made in the Groups and the Companys
financial statements. The Group is currently assessing the impact of MFRS 15 and plans to adopt the new
standard on the required effective date.

contd
MFRS 9 Financial Instruments
In November 2014, MASB issued the final version of MFRS 9 Financial Instruments which reflects all phases
of the financial instruments project and replaces MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement and all previous versions of MFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for
classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. MFRS 9 is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. Retrospective application is required,
but comparative information is not compulsory. The adoption of MFRS 9 will have an effect on the
classification and measurement of the Groups financial assets, but no impact on the classification and
measurement of the Groups financial liabilities.
MFRS 16 Leases
MFRS 16 will replace MFRS 117 Leases, IC Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a
Lease, IC Interpretation 115 Operating Lease-Incentives and IC Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance
of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. MFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a
single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under MFRS 117.
At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments and an asset
representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. Lessees will be required to recognise
interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.
Lessor accounting under MFRS 16 is substantially the same as the accounting under MFRS 117. Lessors will
continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in MFRS 117 and distinguish between
two types of leases: operating and finance leases.
MFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early application is permitted
but not before an entity applies MFRS 15. A lessee can choose to apply the standard using either a full
retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Group plans to assess the potential effect of MFRS
16 on its financial statements in year 2017.
Amendments to MFRS 10 and MFRS 128: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate
or Joint Venture
The amendments clarify that:
gains and losses resulting from transactions involving assets that do not constitute a business, between
investor and its associate or joint venture are recognised in the entitys financial statements only to the
extent of unrelated investors interests in the associate or joint venture; and
gains and losses resulting from transactions involving the sale or contribution of assets to an associate of a
joint venture that constitute a business are recognised in full.
The amendments are to be applied prospectively to the sale or contribution of assets occurring in annual
periods beginning on or after a date to be determined by Malaysian Accounting Standards Board. Earlier
application is permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Group.

contd
2.3 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and of its
subsidiaries as at 31 October 2016. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable
returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power
over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities
of the investee);
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all
relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
The Groups voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the
Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets,
liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the
statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases
to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income ("OCI") are attributed to the equity
holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the
non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial
statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Groups accounting policies. All
intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between
members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;

Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests;
Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;
Recognises the fair value of the consideration received;
Recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and
Reclassifies the parents share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained
earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets
or liabilities.

contd
2.4 Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is
measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair value and the
amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects
whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of
the acquirees identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in
administrative expenses.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate
classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and
pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host
contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest is re-measured at its
acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. It is then considered in
the determination of goodwill.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the
acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and
within the scope of MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, is measured at fair value
with changes in fair value recognised either in either profit or loss or as a change to OCI. If the contingent
consideration is not within the scope of MFRS 139, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate MFRS.
Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured and subsequent settlement is
accounted for within equity.
Goodwill 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. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate
consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired
and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised
at the acquisition date. If the re-assessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired
over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in profit or loss.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the
purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date,
allocated to each of the Groups cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination,
irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.
Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is
disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the
operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is
measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit
retained.
2.5 Current versus non-current classication
Assets and liabilities in statements of financial position are presented based on current/non-current
classification. An asset is current when it is:
Expected to be realised or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;

Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or
Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least
twelve months after the reporting period.

contd
2.5 Current versus non-current classication contd
All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when:
It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;

It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the
reporting period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
2.6 Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on
the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
In the principal market for the asset or liability; or

In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group or by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant
that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available, are
used to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group and
the Company determine whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing
categorisation (based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole)
at the end of each reporting period.
Policies and procedures are determined by senior management for both recurring fair value measurement
and for non-recurring measurement.

contd
2.6 Fair value measurement contd
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets and significant liabilities. Involvement of
external valuers is decided by senior management. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation,
independence and whether professional standards are maintained. The senior management decides, after
discussions with the external valuers, which valuation techniques and inputs to use for each case.
At each reporting date, the senior management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities
which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed according to the accounting policies of the Group and
of the Company. For this analysis, the senior management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest
valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant
documents.
The senior management, in conjunction with the external valuers, also compares the changes in the fair value
of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, classes of assets and liabilities are determined based on the nature,
characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
2.7 Foreign currencies
(a) Functional and presentation currency
The Groups and the Company's financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia which is also the
Companys functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and
items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group's entities at the functional
currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional
currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss with
the exception of monetary items that are designated as part of the hedge of the Group's net
investment of a foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive income until the net
investment is disposed of, at which time, the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. Tax
charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in
other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated
using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair
value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is
determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is
treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation
differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit
or loss are also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).
Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of
the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate of exchange at the reporting date.

contd
2.8 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and
the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account
contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty.
The Company and its subsidiaries assess their revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to
determine if the Company and its subsidiaries are acting as principal or agent. The Group and its subsidiaries
have concluded that they are acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements.
The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
(a) Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon the transfer of significant risks and rewards of
ownership to the customer. Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are significant
uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of
goods.
(b) Management fees
Management fees are recognised when services are rendered.
(c) Interest income
For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost and interest bearing financial assets classified
as available for sale, interest income or expense is recorded using the effective interest rate ("EIR"),
which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the
expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying
amount of the financial asset or liability. Interest income is included in finance income in the profit or
loss.
(d) Warehouse handling services
Revenue from service rendered is recognised when rendering of services has been completed.
(e) Lease of dialysis machines
Lease income is recognised on an acrrual basis.
2.9 Employee benets
(a) Short term benets
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in
which the associated services are rendered by employees. Short term accumulating compensated
absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that
increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating
compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.
(b) Dened contribution plans
The Group makes contributions to the Employees Provident Fund in Malaysia, a defined contribution
pension scheme. Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are recognised as an expense
in the period in which the related service is performed.

contd
2.10 Income taxes
(a) Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid
to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are
enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items
recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
(b) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting
purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and carry forward of
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.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of
the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each
reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit
will allow the deferred tax assets to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss.
Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity.
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.
(c) Goods and Services Tax ("GST")
The net amount of GST, being the difference between output and input of GST, payable to or
receivable from the respective authorities at the reporting date, is included in trade and other payables
or trade and other receivables in the statements of financial position.
2.11 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part
of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of
funds.

contd
2.12 Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the
arrangement at the inception date. The arrangement is assessed for whether fulfilment of the arrangement
is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or
assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
(a) As lessee
Finance leases that transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased
item to the Group or to the Company, are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the fair
value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease
payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve
a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in
finance costs in profit or loss.
A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable
certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over
the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the income statement on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
(b) As lessor
Leases in which the Group or the Company do not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of
ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an
operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease
term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in
which they are earned.
2.13 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing component parts of the property, plant
and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met.
When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group
derecognises the replaced part, and recognises the new part with its own associated useful life and
depreciation. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount
of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and
maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the
decommissioning of the asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition
criteria for a provision are met.
Long term leasehold land is depreciated over the period of the respective leases that range from 41 to 89
years. Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings: 40 - 50 years
Plant and equipment: 5 to 30 years
Motor vehicles: 10 years
Office equipment, furniture and fittings and renovation: 5 to 10 years

contd
2.13 Property, plant and equipment
The carrying values or property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when event or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end and
adjusted prospectively if appropriate.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in
the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
2.14 Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured initially at cost. Following initial acquisition, intangible
assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised over the estimated useful lives and assessed for
impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation
period and the amortisation method are reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the
expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the
asset is accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as
changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is
recognised in profit or loss.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually,
or more frequently if the events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired either
individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Such intangible assets are not amortised. The useful life of
an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is reviewed annually to determine whether the useful life
assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on
a prospective basis.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss when the
asset is derecognised.
Development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs arising from development expenditure on an
individual project are recognised when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing
the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use
or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to
complete and the ability to measure reliably the expenditures during development. Development costs have
a finite useful life of 20 years and are amortised over the period of expected sales from the related project
on a straight line basis.
2.15 Investment in subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies
so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
In the Companys separate financial statements, investment in subsidiaries is accounted for at cost less
impairment losses.

contd
2.16 Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value.
Costs incurred in bringing inventories to their present location and condition are accounted for as purchase
costs on a weighted average basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.17 Cash and short-term deposits
Cash and short-term deposits in the statements of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and
short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less. For the purposes of the statements of cash
flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, net of any outstanding bank
overdrafts.
2.18 Impairment of non-nancial assets
The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may
be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required,
the Group and the Company make an estimate of the assets recoverable amount.
An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For
the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units (CGU)).
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds
its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised
in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill
allocated to those units or groups of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the
unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually at reporting date and when circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of each
CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less
than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot
be reversed in future periods.
For assets other than goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether
there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If
such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset or CGU is estimated. A previously recognised
impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the
assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that
the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount
that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the
asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in prot or loss.

contd
2.19 Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group and
the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial
assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group and the Company determine the classification of their financial assets at initial recognition, and
the categories include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables,
held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets.
The Group and the Company do not have any held-to-maturity and available-for-sale financial assets.
(a) Financial assets at fair value through prot or loss
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss if they are held for
trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets held for trading are
derivatives (including separated embedded derivatives) or financial assets acquired principally for the
purpose of selling in the near term.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair
value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Net gains
or net losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss do not include exchange differences,
interest and dividend income. Exchange differences, interest and dividend income on financial assets
at fair value through profit or loss are recognised separately in profit or loss as part of other losses or
other income.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss could be presented as current or non-current.
Financial assets that is held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current whereas financial
assets that is not held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current or non-current based on
the settlement date.
(b) Loans and receivables
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are
classified as loans and receivables.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and
receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later than
12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current.
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum
of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other
comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within
the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. All regular way
purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e., the date that
the Group and the Company commit to purchase or sell the asset.

contd
2.19 Financial assets contd
(c) Impairment of nancial assets
At each reporting date, an assessment is made as to whether there is objective evidence that a financial
asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that has
occurred since the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred loss event), has an impact on the
estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably
estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is
experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the
probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data
indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in
arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, an assessment is made as to whether impairment
exists individually (for financial assets that are individually significant) or collectively (for financial
assets that are not individually significant). If it is determined that no objective evidence of
impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset
is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively
assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an
impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of
impairment.
The amount of any impairment loss identified is measured as the difference between the assets
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected
credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows
is discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the loss
is recognised in statement of profit or loss. Interest income (recorded as finance income in the
statement of profit or loss) continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued
using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the
impairment loss. Loans together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no
realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to
the Group and the Company. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment
loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised,
the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance
account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to finance costs in the statement
of profit or loss.
2.20 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into
and the definitions of a financial liability.
Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the 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.
The Group and the Company have classified its financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans
and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.

contd
2.20 Financial liabilities contd
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.
Borrowing is recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowing is classified as current liabilities unless the
Group and the Company have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12
months after the reporting date.
For other financial liabilities, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are
derecognised, and through the amortisation process.
2.21 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event
and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When it is expected that
some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is
recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to
a provision is presented in the statements of profit or loss net of any reimbursement.
2.22 Share capital and share issuance expenses
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and of the
Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments and are recorded at the
proceeds received, net of directly attributable incremental transaction costs.
2.23 Cash dividend and non-cash distribution to equity holders of the parent
The Company recognises a liability to make cash or non-cash distributions to equity holders of the parent
when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. A
distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders and a corresponding amount is recognised
directly in equity.
Non-cash distributions are measured at the fair value of the assets to be distributed with fair value
re-measurement recognised directly in equity.
Upon distribution of non-cash assets, any difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the
carrying amount of the assets distributed is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
2.24 Contingencies
A contingent liability or asset is a possible obligation or asset that arises from past events and whose
existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future event(s) not wholly
within the control of the Group and of the Company.
Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised in the statements of financial position of the Group and
of the Company.

contd
2.25 Segment reporting
For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments based on their products and
services which are independently managed by the respective segment managers responsible for the
performance of the respective segments under their charge. The segment managers report directly to the
management of the Company who regularly review the segment results in order to allocate resources to the
segments and to assess the segment performance. Additional disclosures on each of these segments are
shown in Note 31, including the factors used to identify the reportable segments and the measurement basis
of segment information.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities
at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that
could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods.
3.1 Judgements made in applying accounting policies
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has not made any critical
judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which could have a significant effect on the amounts
recognised in the financial statements.
3.2 Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting
date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates
on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and
assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances
arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
(a) Useful lives of plant and equipment
The cost of plant and equipment of the Group is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets
estimated economic useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these plant and equipment to
be between 5 to 30 years. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments
could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future
depreciation charges could be revised.
(b) Impairment of Goodwill
The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an
estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units (CGU) to which goodwill are allocated.
Estimating a value in use amount requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash
flows from the CGU and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of
those cash flows. The carrying amount of goodwill as at 31 October 2016 was RM5,017,193 (2015:
RM5,017,193).

contd
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT AND ESTIMATES contd
3.2 Estimates and assumptions contd
(c) Impairment of development costs
The Group determines whether development costs are impaired at least on an annual basis. This require
an estimation of the value-in-use of the cash-generating units ("CGU") to which development costs are
allocated. Estimating the value- in-use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future
cash flows from the CGU and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present
value of those cash flows.
The carrying amount of development costs was RM26,575,570 (2015: RM23,742,717) for the Group as at
31 October 2016.
The development costs are related to development of home dialysis machines including patient care
management system.
(d) Amortisation of development costs
The cost for development costs is amortised on a straight line basis over its useful life. The management
estimates the useful life of development costs to be 20 years. This is a common life expectancy in the
healthcare industry. Changes in the technology could impact the economic useful life of these assets.
Therefore, the future amortisation charges could be revised.
(e) Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is
required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based on the likely
timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
Assumptions about generation of future taxable profits depend on managements estimates of future
cash flows. These depends on estimates of future production and sales volume, operating costs, capital
expenditure, dividends and other capital management transactions. Judgement is also required about
application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risks and
uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may
impact the amount of deferred tax assets recognised in the statements of financial position and the
amount of unrecognised tax losses and unrecognised temporary differences.
The carrying amounts of the Group's deferred tax assets at the reporting date are disclosed in Note 16.

Impairment testing of goodwill
Goodwill arising from business combinations has been allocated to three individual cash-generating units (CGU)
for impairment testing as follows:
- Healthcare products
- Home dialysis products and services
- Sterilisation provider
The carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each cash-generating unit ("CGU") are as follows:

Sterilisation provider 4,769,154 4,769,154
5,017,193 5,017,193
The recoverable amounts of the CGUs have been determined based on value in use calculations using cash flow
projections from financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period for SH and EB, and
twenty-year period for LCX. The pre-tax discount rates (per annum) applied to the cash flow projections are as
follows:
Pre-tax
discount rates
2016 2015
Healthcare products 6.60% 6.85%

Home dialysis products and services 6.60% 6.85%
Sterilisation provider 6.60% 6.85%
The calculations of value in use for the CGUs are most sensitive to the following assumptions:
Pre-tax discount rates - Discount rates reflect the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU. This
is the benchmark used by management to assess operating performance and to evaluate future investment
proposals.

28. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Determination of fair value
Financial instruments that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying amounts are reasonable approximation
of fair value
The following are classes of nancial instruments that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying amounts
are reasonable approximation of fair value:
Note
Trade and other receivables (current) 19

Trade and other payables (current) 22
Loans and borrowings (current) 23
Loans and borrowings (non-current) 23
The carrying amounts of these nancial assets and liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair values, either
due to their short-term nature or that they are oating rate instruments that are re-priced to market interest
rates on or near the reporting date.
The carrying amounts of the current portion of loans and borrowings are reasonable approximations of fair
values due to the insignicant impact of discounting.
The fair values of loans and borrowings are estimated by discounting expected future cash ows at market
incremental lending rate for similar types of lending, borrowing or leasing arrangements at the reporting date.
29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Financial liabilities, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, and nancial guarantee contracts.
The main purpose of these nancial liabilities is to nance the Groups and the Companys operations and to
provide guarantees to support its operations. Financial assets include trade and other receivables and cash and
short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.
The Group is exposed to market risk, interest risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The
Groups senior management oversees the management of these risks and ensures that the Groups nancial risk
activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that nancial risks are identied, measured
and managed in accordance with the Groups policies and risk objectives. All derivative activities for risk
management purposes are carried out by senior management who have the appropriate skills, experience and
supervision. It is the Groups policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.
The Group does not apply hedge accounting. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing
each of these risks, which are summarised below
(a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash ows of a nancial instrument will uctuate because
of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises interest rate risk and foreign exchange currency risk.
Financial instruments affected by market risk include deposits, loans and borrowings.
(b) Interest rate risk
Cash ow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash ows of a nancial instrument will uctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a
nancial instrument will uctuate due to changes in market interest rates. As the Group and the Company
have no signicant interest-bearing nancial assets, the Groups and the Companys income and operating
cash ows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

contd
29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES contd
(c) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash ows of a nancial instrument will uctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Group is exposed to transactional currency risk primarily through sales and purchases that are
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the operations to which they relate. The
currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily United States Dollars (USD), Euro (EUR), Singapore
Dollars (SGD), Pound Sterling (GBP) and Chinese Yuen Renmimbi (RMB). Such transactions are kept
to an acceptable level. Material foreign currency transaction exposures are hedged, mainly with
derivative nancial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts.
The net unhedged nancial assets/(liabilities) of the Group that are not denominated in their functional
currencies are as follows:
Group
2016 2015
RM RM
USD 130,705 749,872

Sensitivity analysis for foreign currency risk
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Groups prot net of tax to a reasonably possible
change in the USD, EUR, SGD, GBP and RMB exchange rates against the respective functional currencies of
the Group entities, with all other variables held constant.

(d) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a nancial instrument or
customer contract, leading to a nancial loss. Exposure to credit risk relates to operating activities
(primarily trade receivables) and from nancing activities, including deposits with banks and nancial
institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other nancial instruments.
(i) Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed according to established policy, procedures and control relating
to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed and approved by the
directors who sets out the individual credit limits. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly
monitored and nancial standings of major customers are continuously reviewed.
At the reporting date, approximately 74% (2015: 77%) of the Groups gross trade receivables were
due from 7 (2015: 6) major customers.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis and in addition,
minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively.
The calculation is based on actual incurred historical data. The Group does not hold collateral as
security.
Exposure to credit risk
At the reporting date, the Groups and the Companys maximum exposure to credit risk is
represented by:
- The carrying amount of each class of nancial assets recognised in the statements of nancial
position.
- A nominal amount of RM41,088,000 (2015: RM36,717,000) relating to a bank guarantee

provided by the Company to nancial institutions for credit facilities granted to subsidiaries.
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Information regarding trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired is disclosed
in Note 19.
Financial assets that are either past due or impaired
Information regarding trade and other receivables that are either past due or impaired is disclosed
in Note 19.
(ii) Cash and short-term deposits
Cash is normally maintained at minimum levels and surplus cash are placed as short-term deposits
with licensed banks and nancial institutions. Such funds are reviewed by the Directors on a
monthly basis and amounts placed as short-term deposits may be revised throughout the year.
This is to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate nancial loss through potential
counterpartys failure to make payments. Deposits with banks that are neither past due nor impaired
are placed with or entered into with reputable nancial institutions with no history of default.

contd
(e) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Company will encounter difculty in meeting nancial
obligations due to shortage of funds. The Groups and the Companys exposure to liquidity risk arises
primarily from mismatches of the maturities of nancial assets and liabilities. The Groups and the
Companys objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and exibility through the use
of stand-by credit facilities.
The Group and the Company manage its debt maturity prole, operating cash ows and the availability
of funding so as to ensure that renancing, repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall
liquidity management, the Group and the Company maintain sufcient levels of cash to meet its working
capital requirements. In addition, the Group and the Company strive to maintain available banking facilities
at a reasonable level to its overall debt position.
