slated to open in the greater Kuala Lumpur area.

In June 2016, the Group launched the first TRIO Basic store
in Batu Pahat and was met with a very promising response,
which in turn, encouraged us to open another TRIO
Basic boutique in Bintulu, Sarawak in August 2016. The
TRIO Basic concept was created as a gateway to smaller
townships across Malaysia, and with a 1,000-1,500 square
feet store, we are able to focus our product selection in
TRIO Basic to that of the most attractive, both in terms of
pricing and design. With this introduction of TRIO Basic, the
Group is now able to expand the TRIO brand further around
Malaysia, all the while lowering cost but still offering
customers the most attractive range of our TRIO products
at the best competitive values.

At this opportune time where there are many new upcoming


malls nationwide, the Group will, where feasible, maintain
its path of aggressively expanding to enable enhanced
growth in our retail division.

Manufacturing and Export Division


The manufacturing and export division recorded a turnover
of RM231.53 million for the financial period ended 30 June
2016. For the first four quarters of this financial period,
the division registered an increase of 26.2% to RM172.55
million as compared to turnover of the previous 12 months
financial period ended 31 March 2015 of RM136.68 million.
The manufacturing and export division has improved upon

support from its current customer base. In addition, Teddy

successfully embarked on a manufacturing relationship


with the Group’s Cambodian manufacturing operations.
This is expected to see significant growth in the coming
financial quarters.

The Group will continue to commit towards growing the


manufacturing and export division to realize and maximize
its full potential, particularly at this point in time where
the current strength of the US Dollar is favourable towards
exports.

Future Prospects
With the continuing uncertainties in both the domestic and
international environment, the Group has increased its
level of vigilance and prudence. It is deepening its approach
of working more strategically and closely with its long
standing business partners to achieve mutually beneficial
success. The Group continues to take a long term positive
view of its future prospects.

Dividend
The Board does not propose any dividend for this financial
period.

Acknowledgement
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I wish to thank all
shareholders, business associates, clients, suppliers,
bankers, government authorities, and statutory bodies for
their confidence and support in JCB. Finally, I would like
to thank my fellow board members, the Management, and

STATEMENT ON CORPORATE

3 REINFORCE INDEPENDENCE
3.1 ASSESSMENT OF INDEPENDENCE
1. The Board recognises the importance of independence and objectivity in its decision making process.
The Independent Non-Executive Directors play a crucial role of bringing objectivity to the decisions
made by the Board. They provide independent judgement and objectivity without being subordinated
to operational considerations. They help to ensure that the interests of all stakeholders are taken into
account. The Board assess the independence of an Independent Director through the Assessment of
Independence of Independent Directors under the annul Board evaluation process. The assessment
of independence is based on the criteria prescribed under the Main Market Listing Requirements.
During the financial period, none of the Independent Directors disclosed any relationships and/
or transactions that could interfere with their independent judgements or ability to act in the best
interest of the Company.

3.2 TENURE OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS


The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 (“MCCG 2012”) recommends that the tenure of
independent directors should not exceed a cumulative term of nine years. Upon completion of the nine years,
an Independent Director may continue to serve on the Board subject to re-designation of the Independent
Director as a Non-Independent Director. However, if the Board intends to retain an Independent Director who
has served for a continuous period of more than nine years in a similar capacity, then the Board must justify
and seek shareholders’ approval before the said Independent Director can continue to act in such capacity
as set out in Recommendation 3.3 of the MCCG 2012.

The Board is of the view that the independence of the Independent Directors should not be determined solely
by their tenure of service. The Company nominates and appoints individuals of high calibre and integrity
and does not believe that a term of more than nine years can impair the independence of such individuals.
Dato’ Nik Mohamed Din bin Datuk Nik Yusoff and Dato’ Tan Yik Huay, who have served on the Board for more
than nine years, have incumbent knowledge of the Company’s and Group’s activities and corporate history
and provide invaluable contributions to the Board. They provide unbiased and balanced views to the Group’s
strategic direction and governance.

The Board through the NC, has assessed the independence of the Independent Non-Executive Directors
based on criteria set out in the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad taking into account
the individual Director’s ability to exercise independent and objective judgment at all times.

The NC and Board had determined that the two Independent Directors who have served on the Board for
more than nine years, remain objective and independent with the following justifications:-

• Both have confirmed and declared that they are Independent Directors as defined under the MMLR.
• Neither have any conflicts of interest with the Company.
• Both Directors do not participate in the day-to-day management of the Jerasia Group and they remain
free of any business relationship with the Company which could reasonably be perceived to interfere
with their exercise of independent judgement.
026
JERA SI A CAPI TAL BER HA D (5 0 3 2 4 8 - A) | A N N U A L REP O RT 2 0 1 6

STATEMENT ON CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE

• Both Directors bring their independent judgement to bear on the decision-making process of the
Group to ensure a fully balanced and unbiased deliberation process is in place to safeguard the
interest of shareholders.

The Board was satisfied with the level of independence demonstrated by all Independent Non-Executive
Directors and hence, had retained them as Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company.

3.3 SEGREGATION OF POSITIONS OF CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR


The Board has segregated the roles and responsibility for the running of the Board and the management of
the Group’s business.

The Chairman of the Board is Dato’ Nik Mohamed Din bin Datuk Nik Yusoff, an Independent Non-Executive
Director, who focuses on leadership and ensuring effectiveness of the Board.

The Group Managing Director is Mr Pronob Kumar Sen Gupta, who together with Datuk Yap Fung Kong,

of expertise. It has seven (7) members, comprising two (2) Executive Directors and five (5) Non-Executive
Directors. Amongst the Non-Executive Directors, three (3) are Independent Non-Executive Directors
including the Chairman. This fulfills the prescribed requirement for one-third of the Board to be independent

the necessary skills and knowledge to better fulfill their responsibilities. The Board acknowledges that
Directors’ training is an ongoing process and is mindful of the need for continuous training to keep abreast of
industry developments and trends. The Directors are encouraged to attend training sessions and seminars in

and the Group prior to submission to the Board of Directors for consideration and approval to ensure
compliance with applicable financial reporting standards.

5.2 ASSESSMENT OF SUITABILITY AND INDEPENDENCE OF EXTERNAL AUDITORS


The Board maintains a transparent and professional relationship with the External Auditors through the
Audit Committee. Under existing practices, the AC met the external auditors twice during this financial
period to discuss their audit plan and their audit findings on the Company’s annual financial statements.
In addition, the AC will also have private meetings with the external auditors without the presence of the
Management to enable exchange of views on issues requiring attention.

The AC had undertaken an assessment on the suitability and independence of the external auditors.

In its assessment, the AC considered several factors, which included the adequacy of experience and
resources of the firm and the professional staff assigned to the audit and the level of non-audit services
rendered by the external auditors to the Company. The external auditors provided a declaration of its
compliance with the relevant ethical requirements regarding professional independence. Being satisfied
with the performance, suitability and the audit independence of the external auditors, the AC recommended

STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT AND


INTERNAL CONTROL
In relation to risk management and internal control, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Jerasia Capital Berhad are
pleased to furnish the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control which has been prepared in accordance with
the Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers under Bursa Securities Main Market Listing Requirement.

BOARD’S RESPONSIBILITIES
The Board, with assistance from the Executives and Senior Management has established an effective risk management
framework and internal control systems. The control framework is embedded into the processes, structures and culture
of the Group. However, the Board recognises that such systems are designed to manage risks rather than eliminate them,
and can provide only a reasonable and not absolute assurance against any material misstatement, loss or irregularities.

The Board has received assurances from the Executive Deputy Chairman and the Group Managing Director that the risk
management and internal control systems are operating adequately and effectively, in all material aspects, based on the
risk management and internal control framework of the Group.

The Board has delegated to the Audit Committee to review the risk management and internal control processes and reports.

KEY ELEMENTS OF RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS


The key elements of the Group’s risk management and internal control systems are described below:

• Policies and standard operating procedures are clearly defined documented and appropriately communicated to
all levels. These policies and procedures are reviewed regularly and updated when necessary, to meet operational,
changes in business environment and reporting needs.

• Clearly defined delegation of responsibilities to the Board Committees and the Management, including organisational
structure and appropriate authority limits. The limits of delegated authority are reviewed periodically and updated
when necessary.

• The Board holds regular meetings where pertinent matters are highlighted and discussed, thus ensuring that the
Board maintains an effective supervision over appropriate controls and risk issues. The Board is also kept updated
on the Group’s activities during regular meetings.

• The Board and the Audit Committee reviews the financial performance and cash flow reports of the Group on a
quarterly basis.

• Comprehensive information is provided to the Board and the Audit Committee for monitoring of performance
against strategic plans, covering all key financial and operational indicators.

• The Audit Committee reviews risk management and internal control issues identified in internal audit reports and
External Auditors’ management letters.

• There are periodic internal audit reviews of the key activities of the Group’s businesses and business units to assess
the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control.

STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT AND


INTERNAL CONTROL

• The Internal Audit Department reviews all operational and financial areas of the Group and ensures that procedural
compliances are met and carried out.

• A whistleblowing policy was put in place subsequent to the financial period to facilitate and encourage whistleblowing.
This policy ensures that there are appropriate, transparent and confidential feedback channels available to
employees and stakeholders, and when necessary, to raise concerns about any possible improprieties, improper
conduct or other malpractices occurring within the Group.

During the financial period under review, some deficiencies in internal control were identified. However, as these
deficiencies did not materially impacted the Group’s business or operations in any way, they were not included in this
statement. Nevertheless, measures to correct these deficiencies have been taken or are being taken.

RISK MANAGEMENT FUNCTION


The Board, in fulfilling its responsibilities, has established an operational organisational structure with clearly defined lines
of accountability and delegated authority. A process of hierarchical reporting is also in place to provide for a documented
and auditable trail of accountability. In addition, all employees are instilled with a risk awareness culture, which emphasizes
the need for strong corporate governance, effective communication, commitment to compliance with laws, regulations and
internal controls, and integrity in all responsibilities.

The Group has in place an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing any significant risks faced by the Group
throughout the financial period under review. The level of risk tolerance of the Group is expressed through the use of a risk
impact and likelihood matrix. The Group will only accept a commercial level of risk that will provide reasonable assurance
on the long term profitability and sustainability of the Group.

The Management also periodically reviews areas of risk associated with the Group’s business and operations including
financial risk, operational risk and strategic risk to ensure the corporate objectives and strategies are achieved within the
acceptable risk parameters. A risk profile of the Group had been developed, which together with a summary of the key
findings and corresponding action plans, are presented and discussed at the Audit Committee and Board meetings.

The Board through the Audit Committee, who is assisted by the Internal Audit Department, periodically reviews these
processes as well as the risk management framework as an ongoing commitment to continuously strengthen the risk
management and control environment of the Company.

During the financial period, all departments have updated the respective risk profiles, reviewed internal control systems
and proposed internal control processes to enhance efficiencies of the daily operations which is in turn, reviewed by the
Internal Audit Department and reported to the Audit Committee on a timely manner.

INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION


The Group has adequately resourced the internal audit function which acts independently and whose primary responsibility
is to assure the Board, through the Audit Committee, that the internal control systems function operate at different levels
of effectiveness.

STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT AND


INTERNAL CONTROL

The Head of Internal Audit/Monitoring and Compliance annually submits the internal audit plan to the Audit Committee
for review and approval. The internal audit plan consists of the work schedule for the next financial year. The internal audit
plan is developed based on prioritization of the audit universe using a risk-based approach. Any significant deviation from
the approved plan will be communicated to the Audit Committee and/or Management through periodic activity reports.

On a quarterly basis, the Head of Internal Audit/Monitoring and Compliance presents to the Audit Committee on the
internal audit reports in accordance with its approved plan. Included in the audit reports, there are recommended corrective
measures on deficiencies in internal control, if any, for Management to be implemented. The Internal Audit Department
also reports on other matters that are required and/or requested by the Board and/or Audit Committee.

REVIEW OF STATEMENT BY EXTERNAL AUDITORS


As required by paragraph 15.23 of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, the External
Auditors, Messrs SJ Grant Thornton, have reviewed this Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control in accordance
with the Recommended Practice Guide 5 (Revised) issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants, for inclusion in the
Annual Report for the financial period from 1 April 2015 to 30 June 2016 and reported to the Board that nothing has come to
their attention that causes them to believe that the Statement is inconsistent with their understanding of the processes that
the Board has adopted in the review of the adequacy and effectiveness of risk management and internal control systems
within the Group. RPG5 (Revised) does not require the External Auditors to consider whether this Statement covers all risk
and controls, or to form an opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management and internal control system
of the Group including the assessment and opinion by the Board and management thereon.

CONCLUSION
The Board is of the view that the risk management framework and internal control systems that have been instituted are
satisfactory and adequate to provide reasonable assurance to safeguard the Group’s assets and shareholders’ investments,
and as a result there were no material losses incurred during the financial period under review.

The Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control is made in accordance with a resolution of the Board dated
4 October 2016.

Report on the Financial Statements

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements


The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements so as give a true and fair
view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and
the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia. The Directors are also responsible for such internal control
as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement
of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control
relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company
as at 30 June 2016 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the financial period from 1 April 2015 to 30 June
2016 in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the
requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.

STATEMENTS
FOR THE FINANCIAL PERIOD FROM 1 APRIL 2015 TO 30 JUNE 2016

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia and listed on the Main
Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The registered office is located at Suite 1008, 10th Floor, Wisma Lim
Foo Yong, No. 86, Jalan Raja Chulan, 50200 Kuala Lumpur. The principal place of business of the Company is located
at No. 2-8, Lorong 6E/91, Taman Shamelin Perkasa, Batu 3 1/2, Jalan Cheras, 56100 Kuala Lumpur.

The principal activities of the Company are investment holding and the provision of management consultancy
services to subsidiaries within the Group. The principal activities of its subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 6 to the
financial statements respectively.

There have been no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries during
the financial period.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Directors’
resolution dated 4 October 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 Malaysian
Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRSs”), International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) and the
requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.

2.2 Basis of Measurement


The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention,
unless otherwise disclosed in the significant accounting policies.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and
services.

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.

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 market 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.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT’D)


2.2 Basis of Measurement (Cont’d)
The Group and the Company use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for
which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs
and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is
significant to their fair value measurement as a whole:-

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for the identical assets.

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to their fair
value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to their 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 their fair value measurement as a whole)
at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group and the Company have determined classes of assets
and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of fair
value hierarchy as explained above.

2.3 Functional and Presentation Currency


The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) which is the Company’s functional
currency and all values are rounded to the nearest RM except when otherwise stated.

2.4 Adoption of Amendments to MFRSs and IC Interpretations (“IC Int”)
The Group and the Company have consistently applied the accounting policies set out in Note 3 to the
financial statements to all periods presented in these financial statements, except for the changes below.

At the beginning of current financial period, the Group and the Company have adopted amendments
to MFRSs and IC Int which are mandatorily effective for the accounting period that begins on or after
1 April 2015.

Initial application of the amendments to the standards and IC Int did not have material impact to the financial
statements.

2.4.1 Annual Improvement to MFRS 2010-2012 Cycle


MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
It clarifies that the basis for conclusion that short-term receivables and payables with no stated
interest rates can be measured at invoice amounts when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

2.4.2 Annual Improvements to MFRSs 2011 – 2013 Cycle


MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
The amendment clarifies that the portfolio exception in MFRS 13 can be applied not only to the
financial assets and financial liabilities, but also to other contracts within the scope of MFRS 9 (or
MFRS 139, as applicable).

The adoption of amendments does not have material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

2.5 Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective


At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and
interpretations to existing standards have been published by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board but
are not yet effective, and have not been adopted by the Company.

Management anticipates that all of these relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Company’s
accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information
on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the Company’s
financial statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued
but are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

2.5 Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective (Cont’d)
MFRS 9 Financial Instruments – effective 1 January 2018
MFRS 9 replaces MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous version
of MFRS 9. The new standard introduces extensive requirements and guidance for classification and
measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities which fall under the scope of MFRS 9, new “expected
credit loss model” under the impairment of financial assets and greater flexibility has been allowed in hedge
accounting transactions. Upon adoption of MFRS 9, financial assets will be measured at either fair value or
amortised cost. It is also expected that the Group’s investment in unquoted shares will be measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income.

The adoption of MFRS 9 will result in a change in accounting policy. The Company is currently assessing the
impact of MFRS 9 and plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date.

MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – effective 1 January 2018


MFRS 15 presents new requirements for the recognition of revenue, replacing the guidance of MFRS 111
Construction Contracts, MFRS 118 Revenue, IC Int 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IC Int 15 Agreements
for Construction of Real Estate, IC Int 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers and IC Int 131 Revenue –
Barter Transaction Involving Advertising Services. The principles in MFRS 15 provide a more structured
approach to measuring and recognising revenue. It establishes a new five-step model that will apply to
revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under MFRS 15 revenue is recognised at an amount that
reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or
services to a customer.

The adoption of MFRS 15 will result in a change in accounting policy. The Company is currently assessing the
impact of MFRS 15 and plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date.

MFRS 16 Leases – effective 1 January 2019


MFRS 16 replaces MFRS 117 Leases. MFRS 16 eliminates the distinction between finance and operating
leases for lessees. As off-balance sheet will no longer be allowed except for some limited practical
exemptions, all leases will be brought onto the statement of financial position by recognising a “right-of-
use” asset and a lease liability. In other words, for a lessee that has material operating leases, the assets and
liabilities reported on its statement of financial position are expected to increase substantially.

The adoption of MFRS 16 will result in a change in accounting policy. The Company is currently assessing the
impact of MFRS 16 and plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date.

Amendments to MFRS 107 Statement of Cash Flows: Disclosure Initiative – effective 1 January 2017
The amendments require entities to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to
evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financial activities, including changes from cash flows and non-
cash changes. The disclosure requirement could be satisfied in various ways, and one method is by providing
reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the statement of financial position for liabilities
arising from financing activities.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT’D)


2.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial
statements. They affect the application of the Group’s and of the Company’s accounting policies and reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. Estimates and underlying
assumptions are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The actual results
may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal
the estimated results.

2.6.1 Estimation Uncertainty


Information about significant judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant
effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed
below.

Useful lives of depreciation assets


Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful
lives. Management estimates the useful lives of the property, plant and equipment to be within 5
to 99 years and reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets at the end of each reporting period.
At 30 June 2016, management assesses that the useful lives represent the expected utility of the
assets to the Company. The carrying amounts are disclosed in Note 4 to the financial statements.
Actual results, however, may vary due to change in the expected level of usage and technological
developments, which may result in the adjustment to the Group’s and to the Company’s assets.

A 1% difference in the expected useful lives of the property, plant and equipment from the
management’s estimates would result in an insignificant impact.

Impairment of loans and receivables


The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial
asset is impaired. Factors such as probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the
receivables and default or significant delay in payments are considered in determining whether there
is objective evidence of impairment. Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and
timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar
credit risk characteristics. If the expectation is different from the estimation, such difference will
impact the carrying value of receivables.

A 1% difference in the impairment made in loans and receivables from the management’s estimates
would result in an insignificant impact.

2.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Cont’d)
2.6.1 Estimation Uncertainty (Cont’d)
Impairment of goodwill
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s
carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. To determine the recoverable amount, management
estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable
interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. In the process of measuring
expected future cash flows management makes assumptions about future operating results. The
actual results may vary, and may cause adjustments to the Group’s assets.

In most cases, determining the applicable discount rate involves estimating the appropriate
adjustment to market risk and the appropriate adjustment to asset-specific risk factors.

The carrying amount of goodwill as at the reporting date is disclosed in Note 5 to the financial
statements.

A 1% difference in the goodwill from the management’s estimates would result in an insignificant impact.

Impairment of entrance fees


The useful life of entrance fee is assessed to be infinite. Intangible assets with infinite useful life are
carrying on cost and subject to impairment review at least annually. The impairment test of entrance
fee is assessed on brand basis, amalgamating all the individual entrance fees.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s
carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. To determine the recoverable amount, management
estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable
interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. In the process of measuring
expected future cash flows management makes assumptions about future operating results. The
actual results may vary, and may cause adjustments to the Group’s assets.

In most cases, determining the applicable discount rate involves estimating the appropriate
adjustment to market risk and the appropriate adjustment to asset-specific risk factors.

The carrying amount of entrance fees as at the reporting date is disclosed in Note 5 to the financial
statements.

A 1% difference in the entrance fees from the management’s estimates would result in an insignificant
impact.

2.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Cont’d)
2.6.1 Estimation Uncertainty (Cont’d)
Deferred Tax Assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unutilised tax losses,
unabsorbed capital allowances and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which all the deductible temporary differences, unutilised tax losses
and unabsorbed capital allowances can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required
to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing
and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Assumptions about generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future
cash flows. These depend 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 uncertainties, 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 amount of deferred tax assets as at the reporting date is disclosed in Note 7(a) to the
financial statements.

A 1% difference in the deferred tax assets from the management’s estimates would result in an
insignificant impact.

Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In estimating net realisable
values, management takes into account the most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates
are made. The realisation of these inventories may be affected by market-driven changes that may
occur in the future.

The carrying amount of inventories at the end of the reporting date is disclosed in Note 8 to the
financial statements.

A 1% difference in the inventories from the management’s estimates would result in an insignificant
impact.

2.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Cont’d)
2.6.2 Significant Management Judgement
The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the
Group that have the most significant effect on the financial statements.

Deferred Tax Assets


The assessment of the probability of future taxable income in which deferred tax assets can be utilised
is based on the Group’s latest approved budget forecast, which is adjusted for significant non-taxable
income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unutilised tax losses. The tax rules in the
numerous jurisdictions in which the Group operates are also carefully taken into consideration. If
a positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, especially
when it can be utilised without a time limit, that deferred tax asset is usually recognised in full. The
recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties
is assessed individually by management based on the specific facts and circumstances.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The Group and the Company apply the significant accounting policies, as summarised below, consistently throughout
all periods presented in the financial statements, unless otherwise stated.

3.1 Consolidation
3.1.1 Basis of Consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate the audited financial statements of the Company and
all of its subsidiaries, which have been prepared in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies.
Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary
to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. The financial statements of
the Company and its subsidiaries are all drawn up to the same reporting date.

All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-
group transactions are eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no
longer consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Changes in the Company owners’ ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of
control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the
controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests
in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is
adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and
attributable to owners of the Company.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)


3.1 Consolidation (Cont’d)
3.1.2 Business Combination 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 interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the
Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or
at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are
expenses and included in other operating 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, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s
previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date
through profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at
the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration which is
deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with MFRS 139 either in profit or
loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as
equity, it will not be remeasured. Subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. In instances
where the contingent consideration does not fall within the scope of MFRS 139, it is measured in
accordance with the appropriate MFRS.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration
transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of
the subsidiary acquired, the difference 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 Group’s 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 forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is
disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount
of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed
of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the
portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

3.1.3 Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities, including structured entities, controlled by the Company. Control exists
when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and
has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Potential voting rights are
considered when assessing control only when such rights are substantive.

Besides, the Group considers it has de facto power over an investee when, despite not having
the majority of voting rights, it has the current ability to direct the activities of the investee that
significantly affect the investee’s return.

Investment in subsidiary is stated at cost less any impairment losses in the Company’s statement
of financial position, unless the investment is held for sale or distribution. The cost of investments
includes transaction costs. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the
subsidiary is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

Upon the disposal of investment in a subsidiary, the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and its carrying amount is included in profit or loss.

3.1.4 Loss of Control


Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the
subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary.
Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss.

If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair
value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity accounted investee
or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained.

3.1.5 Non-controlling interest


Non-controlling interest represent the equity in subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to
owners of the Company. It is presented separately in the statements of financial position, separate
from equity attributable to owners of the Company.

Losses applicable to non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling


interest even though it may result in deficit to non-controlling interest.

3.2 Property, Plant and Equipment
All property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and less any
impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and
only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the
cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets and any other costs
directly attributable to bring the asset to working condition for its intended use, cost of replacing component
parts of the assets, and the present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of the assets after
their use. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation is recognised on the straight line method in order to write off the cost of each asset over its
estimated useful life. Freehold land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated
based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:-

Long-term leasehold land Over the tenure of lease ranging from 60 to 99 years
Buildings 2% - 3%
Plant and machinery 10%
Electrical installations 10%
Furniture and fittings 20%
Office equipment 20%
Computers and software 20%
Motor vehicles 12.5%
Renovations 15%

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed for impairment when events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or at least annually to ensure
that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and expected
trend of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected from its use or disposal. Gain or loss arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment
are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and
are recognised in profit or loss.

3.3 Intangible assets


For the purpose of impairment testing of intangible assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the
cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs to. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an
asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated
future cash flows 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. The fair value is the
higher of the CGU’s earnings based valuation and net asset value.

3.3 Intangible assets (Cont’d)
Where the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered
impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed.

3.3.1 Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the
cost of business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less
impairment losses. Gain and loss on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill
relating to the entity sold.

3.3.2 Entrance fees


These represent entrance fees paid for rights to set up boutiques to market an international brand
of fashion garments and accessories. These entrance fees have an indefinite useful life based on
the contractual terms with the Principal of the said brand. Entrance fees are stated at cost less
impairment losses.

Subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an intangible asset other than goodwill is treated
as reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of
the asset that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is
recognised in the profit or loss immediately.

3.4 Financial Instruments


Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group and the Company become a party to
the contractual provisions of the financial instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value plus transactions costs, except
for financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured
initially at fair value. Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured subsequently as described below.

3.4.1 Financial Assets


For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and
effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:-

(a) loans and receivables;
(b) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;
(c) held-to-maturity investments; and
(d) available-for-sale financial assets.

3.4 Financial Instruments (Cont’d)
3.4.1 Financial Assets (Cont’d)
The category determines subsequent measurement and whether any resulting income and expenses
is recognised in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income.

All financial assets except for those at fair value through profit or loss are subject to review for
impairment at least at end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired when there is any
objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to
determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets.

A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash
flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without
retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial
asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received
(including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss
that had been recognised in equity is recognised in the profit or loss.

At the reporting date, the Group and the Company have not designated any financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets.
The Group and the Company carry only loans and receivables on their statements of financial position.

Loans and Receivables


Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that
are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognitions, these are measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Discounting is omitted where the
effect of discounting is immaterial. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and
receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. The Group’s and the
Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables (exclude prepayments) fall into
this category of financial instruments.

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 assets.

3.4.2 Financial Liabilities


After the initial recognition, financial liability is classified as:-

(a) financial liability at fair value through profit or loss;


(b) other financial liabilities measure at amortised cost using the effective interest method; and
(c) financial guarantee contracts.

3.4 Financial Instruments (Cont’d)
3.4.2 Financial Liabilities (Cont’d)
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the
contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference
between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party
and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is
recognised in profit or loss.

At the reporting date, the Group and the Company have not designated any financial liabilities at
fair value through profit or loss. The Group and the Company carry only other financial liabilities
measured at amortised cost on their statements of financial position.

Other Financial Liabilities Measured at Amortised Cost


The Group’s and the Company’s other financial liabilities include bank borrowings, amount due to
subsidiaries, trade and other payables.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. Bank borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has right to defer
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Financial Guarantee Contracts


Financial guarantee contracts are issued by the Company for collateral and security deposits. Financial
guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs
that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured
at the higher of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the
reporting date and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.

3.4.3 Offsetting of Financial Instruments


Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statements of
financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised
amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the
liabilities simultaneously.

3.5 Impairment of Assets
3.5.1 Financial Assets
The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence
that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial
assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result
of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss
event”) and that 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 where observable date indicate that there is a measurable
decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that
correlate with defaults.

Financial Assets Carried At Amortised Cost


For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether objective evidence
of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively
for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective
evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant
or not, it includes the asset in a Group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics
and collectively assesses them for impairment. Financial assets that are individually assessed for
impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continue to be, recognised are not included in a
collective assessment of impairment.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss 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 (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 asset’s original effective
interest rate.

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of a provision account and the amount
of the loss is recognised in the profit or loss. Interest income 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. The interest income is recorded as part of finance
income in the profit or loss. Loans together with the associated provision 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. If, in a subsequent financial year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or
decreases due to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised
impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the provision account.

3.5 Impairment of Assets (Cont’d)
3.5.2 Non-financial Assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine
whether there is any indication of impairment. Non-financial assets are tested for impairment at
least once annually or more frequently if events or changes are in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amounts may be impaired either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. If any such
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the recoverable amount
is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised whenever the recoverable amount of the asset or
a cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount. Recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-
generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use.

In assessing value-in-use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to 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. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in profit or loss in
those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. An impairment loss
is recognised as an expense in profit or loss immediately, unless the asset is carried at a revalued
amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of
previously recognised revaluation surplus for the same asset.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognised impairment losses for an asset may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such
indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is
reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset recoverable
amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined,
net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

All reversals of impairment losses are recognised as income immediately in profit or loss unless
the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal in excess of impairment loss
previously recognised through profit or loss is treated as revaluation increase. After such a reversal,
depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the revised carrying amount of the asset,
less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

3.6 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after adequate allowance has been made
for deterioration, damage and obsolescence. Cost is determined on the weighted average or first-in, first-out
basis.

The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress where relevant includes direct materials, direct labour,
direct charges and appropriate variable production overheads.

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the
estimated costs necessary to make sale.

3.7 Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the
arrangement at the inception date, whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a
specific asset or asset or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly
specific in an arrangement.

3.7.1 Operating lease


Leases, where the Group does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as operating leases and, except for property interest held under operating lease, the leased
assets are not recognised in the statements of financial position. Property interest held under an
operating lease, which is held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, is classified
as investment property.

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over
the tenure of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of
the total lease expense, over the tenure of the lease. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss
in the reporting period in which they are incurred.

3.8 Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and bank balances which are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Bank overdrafts are shown in current liabilities under bank borrowings in the statements of financial position.

3.9 Equity, Reserves and Distribution to Owners


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.

Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.

Foreign currency translation difference arising on the translation of the Group’s foreign entities is included
in the foreign exchange translation reserve.

Retained earnings include all current and prior periods retained earnings.

Final dividends proposed by the Directors are not accounted for in shareholders’ equity as an appropriation
of retained earnings, until they have been approved by the shareholders in the general meeting. When these
dividends have been approved by the shareholders and declared, they are recognised as a liability.

Interim dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared, as the articles of association of the Company
grants the Directors the authority to declare interim dividends. Consequently, interim dividends are
recognised directly as a liability when they are proposed and declared.

3.9 Equity, Reserves and Distribution to Owners (Cont’d)
The distribution of non-cash assets to owners is recognised as dividend payable when the dividend was
approved by shareholders. The dividend payable is measured at the fair value of the shares to be distributed.
At the end of the financial period and on the settlement date, the Company reviews the carrying amount of
the dividend payable recognised in equity. When the Company settles the dividend payable, the difference
between the carrying amount of the dividend distributed and the carrying amount of the dividend payables is
recognised as a separate line item in profit or loss.

All transactions with owners of the Company are recorded separately with equity.

3.10 Revenue Recognition


Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the
transaction will flow to the Group and the Company and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured.

3.10.1 Sale of Goods


Revenue relating to sale of goods is recognised net of sales returns and discounts upon the transfer
of risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customers. 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.

3.10.2 Interest Income


Interest income is recognised in the profit or loss on time proportion basis taking into account the
principal outstanding and the effective interest rate over the period to maturity, when it is determined
that such income will accrue to the Group.

3.10.3 Dividend Income


Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment has been established and no
significant uncertainty existed with regard to its receipt.

3.11 Foreign Currency Translation and Balances


The Group’s financial statements are presented in RM, which is also the Company’s functional currency.

3.11.1 Foreign currency transaction


Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rates prevailing at
the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional
currency spot rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.

All differences are taken to the profit or loss with the exception of all monetary items that forms part
of a net investment in a foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive income until
the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are reclassified to profit or loss. Tax charges
and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in other
comprehensive income.

3.11.1 Foreign currency transaction (Cont’d)
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated
using the exchange rates as 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 in translation of non-monetary items is recognised in line
with the gain or loss of the item that gave rise to the translation difference (translation differences
on items whose gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also
recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss respectively).

3.11.2 Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia


Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiary, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising in
an acquisition, are translated at financial period end exchange rates. The income and expenses of
foreign subsidiaries are translated to RM at average rates during the financial period.

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the
foreign exchange translation reserve, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated
to non-controlling interest.

When a foreign subsidiary is disposed in its entirely or partially such that control, significant influence
or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign
operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Group disposed
part of its interest but retains control, then the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is
reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Group disposes only part of an associate company
or joint venture while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the
cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

If the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign subsidiary is neither
planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, then foreign currency differences arising
from such item will form part of the net investment in the foreign subsidiary. Differences of such
nature are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign exchange
translation reserve.

3.12 Tax Expense


Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss
except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or other
comprehensive income.

3.12 Tax Expense (Cont’d)
3.12.1 Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable profit or loss for the financial
period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any
adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years.

Current tax is recognised in the statements of financial position as a liability (or an asset) to the extent
that it is unpaid (or refundable).

3.12.2 Deferred tax


Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the statements of financial position and their tax
bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the temporary differences arising from the initial recognition
of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business
combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured
at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based
on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or
settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax
liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same
taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on
a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at
the end of each reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the
related tax benefit will be realised.

Unutilised reinvestment allowance and investment tax allowance, being tax incentives that is not a
tax base of an asset, is recognised as a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that the
future taxable profits will be available against the unutilised tax incentive can be utilised.

3.13 Goods and Services Tax


Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) is a consumption tax based on value-added concept. GST is imposed on
goods and services at every production and distribution stage in the supply chain including importation
of goods and services, at the applicable tax rate of 6%. Input GST that the Company paid on purchases of
business inputs can be deducted from output GST.

in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the assets or as part of the
expense item as applicable; and

(b) Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of
receivables or payables in the statements of financial position.

3.14 Employee Benefits


3.14.1 Short Term Benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the
period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group and of the Company.
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,
and short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when
the absences occur.

A provision is made for the estimated liability for leave as a result of services rendered by employees
up to the end of the reporting period.

3.14.2 Defined Contribution Plan


Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group and the
Company pay fixed contributions into separate entities of funds and will have no legal or constructive
obligation to pay further contribution if any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all
employee benefits relating to employee services in the current and preceding financial years.

Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss as incurred. As required by law,
companies in Malaysia make such contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”).

3.15 Earnings Per Ordinary Share


The Group presents basic and diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group based
on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period.

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group
based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary
shares during the financial period.

3.17 Contingencies
Where it is not probable that an inflow or an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount
cannot be estimated reliably, the asset or the obligation is not recognised in the statements of financial

3.18 Borrowings Costs


Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
capitalised as part of the cost of the assets during the period of time that is necessary to complete and
prepare the asset for its intended use or sale.

The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure
for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to
prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended

The entrance fees represent rights to set up and operate boutiques to market an international brand of fashion
apparel and accessories.

Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations

The recoverable amount for intangible assets was based on its value-in-use. Value-in-use was determined by
discounting the future cash flows generated from the continuing operations of business acquired and entrance fees
and were based on the following key assumptions:-

(a) cash flows are projected based on actual operating results and a five-year business plan.
(b) the projected growth rate is 3% to 5%.

A pre-tax discount rate of 6.7% was applied in determining the recoverable amount.

The value assigned to the key assumptions represent the management’s assessment of future trends in the industry
and are based on external and internal consideration. A reasonably possible change in a key assumption does not
have any significant difference to the recoverable amount.

22.2 Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
Financial Risks
The Group is exposed to financial risks arising from their operations and the use of financial instruments.
Financial risk management policy is established to ensure that adequate resources are available for the
development of the Group’s business whilst managing its credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and
interest rate risk. The Group operates within clearly defined policies and procedures that are approved by
the Board of Directors to ensure that the effectiveness of the risk management process. The Group does not
actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purpose nor does it write options.

The main areas of financial risks faced by the Group and the Company and the policy in respect of the major
areas of treasury activities are set out as follows:-

(a) Credit Risk


Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial
instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. It is the Group’s policy to enter into financial
instrument with a diversity of creditworthy counterparties. The Group does not expect to incur
material credit losses of its financial assets or other financial instruments.

Concentration of credit risk exists when changes in economic, industry and geographical factors
similarly affect the group of counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is significant in
relation to the Group’s total credit exposure. The Group’s transactions are entered into with diverse
creditworthy counterparties, thereby mitigate any significant concentration of credit risk.

It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit
verification and evaluation procedures. The Group does not offer credit terms without the approval of
the management.

The Group’s and the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying
amount of trade and other receivables in Note 9 to the financial statements.

Following are the areas where the Group and the Company are exposed to credit risk:-

Receivables

With a credit policy in place to ensure the credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis, management
has taken reasonable steps to ensure that receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are
stated at their realisable values. A significant portion of these receivables are regular customers that
have been transacting with the Group. The Group uses aging analysis to monitor the credit quality of
the receivables. Any receivables having significant balances past due more than credit terms granted
are deemed to have higher credit risk, and are monitored individually.

(a) Credit Risk (Cont’d)
Following are the areas where the Group and the Company are exposed to credit risk (Cont’d):-

Receivables (Cont’d)
Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthy customers with good
payment records with the Group. None of the Group’s trade receivables that are neither past due nor
impaired have been renegotiated during the financial period.

As at 30 June 2016, trade receivables of RM306,535 (31.3.2015: RM436,603) were past but not impaired.
These relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default.

Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired and neither past due or impaired are
disclosed above.

As at the reporting date, approximately 97% (31.3.2015: 96%) of trade receivables were due from 9
(31.3.2015: 8) customers.

Corporate guarantee
The maximum exposure to credit risk amounting to RM188,692,682 (31.3.2015: RM170,414,301),
representing unsecured corporate guarantees given to the licensed banks for banking facilities
granted to certain subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period.

The Company monitors on an ongoing basis the financial results of the subsidiaries and repayments
made by the subsidiaries. As at the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that any
subsidiaries would default on repayment.

The corporate guarantee does not have a determinable effect on the terms of the banking facilities
due to the banks requiring parent’s guarantees as a pre-condition for approving the banking facilities
granted to subsidiaries. The actual terms of the banking facilities are likely to be the best indicator of
“at market” terms and hence the fair value of the banking facilities are equal to the banking facilities
amount received by the subsidiaries. As such, there is no value on the corporate guarantee to be
recognised in the financial statements.

Financial guarantee has not been recognised since the fair value on initial recognition was not
material.

There is also no present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of past event and it is not probable
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits would be required to settle the obligation.

The main areas of financial risks faced by the Group and the Company and the policy in respect of the major
areas of treasury activities are set out as follows (Cont’d):-

(a) Credit Risk (Cont’d)


Cash and cash equivalents
The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents are considered negligible, since the counterparties are
reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.

(b) Liquidity Risk


Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group and the Company will not be able to meet its financial
obligations as and when they fall due.

In managing its exposures to liquidity risk, the Group and the Company maintain a level of cash and
cash equivalents and banking facilities deemed adequate by the management to ensure, as far as
possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due.

The Group and the Company aim at maintaining a balance of sufficient cash and deposits and flexibility
in funding by keeping diverse sources of committed and uncommitted banking facilities from banks.

The liquidity risks arise principally from its payables and bank borrowings.

(c) Foreign Currency Risk


The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of its normal trading activities, where the
currency denomination differs from the functional currency. The Group, inter-alia, manages its
foreign currency risk by entering into forward foreign exchange contracts as and when considered
necessary to limit its foreign exchange exposure. Exposure to currency risk as a whole is mitigated by
the operating environment which provides for a natural hedge. Most payments for foreign payables is
matched against receivables denominated in the same foreign currency.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis


The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit or loss with regards to the Group’s financial
assets and financial liabilities and the RM/USD, RM/SGD, RM/EURO and RM/HKD exchange rate and
‘all other things’ being equal.

It assumes a +/- 3% (31.3.2015: +/- 2%) change of the RM/USD, +/- 2% (31.3.2015: +/- 1%) RM/
SGD, +/- 3% (31.3.2015: +/- 2%) RM/EURO and +/- 3% (31.3.2015: +/- 2%) RM/HKD exchange rate at
financial period end. This percentage has been determined based on the average market volatility
in exchange rates in the previous 12 months. The sensitivity analysis based on the Group’s foreign
currency financial instruments held at each reporting date and also takes into account exchange
contracts that offset from changes in currency exchange rates.

The main areas of financial risks faced by the Group and the Company and the policy in respect of the major
areas of treasury activities are set out as follows (Cont’d):-

(c) Foreign Currency Risk (Cont’d)


If the RM had strengthened against the USD, SGD, EURO and HKD, then the impact would be as
follows:-

Effect on profit/(loss) for the financial period/year


USD SGD EURO HKD Total
Group RM RM RM RM RM

30.6.2016 1,156,415 843 16,904 4,976 1,179,138


31.3.2015 234,428 (11,239) - 1,846 225,035

If the RM had weakened against the USD, HKD, SGD and EURO then the impact on profit for the
financial period would be the opposite effect.

Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the financial period depending on the volume of
overseas transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the
Group’s exposure to currency risk.

(d) Interest Rate Risk


Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s and the Company’s
financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

The Group’s and the Company’s investments in fixed rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change
in their fair value due to changes in interest rates. The Group’s and the Company’s floating rate
borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. Investments
in equity securities, short term receivables and payables are not significantly exposed to interest rate
risk.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis


At financial period end, the Group is exposed to changes in market interest rates through bank
borrowings at floating interest rates.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for floating rate instruments

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit to a reasonably possible change in interest
rates of +/-25 (31.3.2015: +/-25) basis points (“bp”). These changes are considered to be reasonably
possible based on observation of current market conditions. The calculations are based on a change
in the average market interest rate for each period, and the financial instruments held at each
reporting date that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. All other variables are held constant.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments

The Group and the Company do not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss and do not designate derivatives as hedging instruments under a fair
value hedge accounting model. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the end of the reporting period
would not affect profit or loss.
