In fostering commitment towards MCCG 2012, the

INTRODUCTION
The Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance
(‘The Code’) prescribes that all listed issuers should
have an internal audit function and all risks areas
identified.
The Principals and Best Practises in the Malaysian
Code on Corporate Governance state that the
Board should maintain a sound system of internal
control to safeguard shareholders’ investments and
the Group’s assets.
Paragraph 15.26(b) of the Bursa Securities Main
Market Listing Requirements also echoed that the
Board is ultimately responsible for the Group’s
system of internal control and for reviewing the
effectiveness of the internal control system.
Internal control system is primarily designed to cater
for the business needs and manage the potential
business risks of the Group.
There are inherent risks in any systems of internal
control, as such systems are designed to mitigate
rather than eliminate the likelihood of fraud and
error. Accordingly, these systems can provide only
reasonable and not absolute assurance against
material misstatement or loss. The concept of
reasonable assurance also recognises that the cost
of control procedures should not exceed the
expected benefits.
The Board is committed to maintain a sound system
of internal control in the Group and is pleased to
provide the following Statement on Internal Control
(“Statement”) pursuant to paragraph 15.26(b) of the
Bursa Securities Main Market Listing.

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the financial statements of Fibon Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial position as
at 31 May 2015 of the Group and of the Company, and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the
financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as
set out on pages 42 to 91.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements so as to give a true and
fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting
Standards and the requirements of Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the
Company as of 31 May 2015 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the financial year then ended
in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and
the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the directors and management and are based on
historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and judgements that affect the application of the
Group’s accounting policies and disclosures, and have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment
to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed below:-
(i) Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment
The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the property,
plant and equipment are based on commercial and production factors which could change
significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors’ actions in response to the market
conditions.
The Group anticipates that the residual values of its property, plant and equipment will be
insignificant. As a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration for the computation
of the depreciable amount.
Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic
useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be
revised.
(ii) Income Taxes
There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination may be
different from the initial estimate. The Group recognises tax liabilities based on its understanding of
the prevailing tax laws and estimates of whether such taxes will be due in the ordinary course of
business. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially
recognised, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the year in
which such determination is made.
(iii) Impairment of Non-financial Assets
When the recoverable amount of an asset is determined based on the estimate of the value-in-use of
the cash-generating unit to which the asset is allocated, the management is required to make an
estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to apply a suitable
discount rate in order to determine the present value of those cash flows.
(iv) Amortisation of Development Costs
Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic
useful lives. Therefore, future amortisation charges could be revised.
(v) Write-down of Inventories
Reviews are made periodically by management on damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventories.
These reviews require judgement and estimates. Possible changes in these estimates could result in
revisions to the valuation of inventories.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
(a) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Cont’d)
(vi) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables
An impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired.
Management specifically reviews its loan and receivables financial assets and analyses historical
bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and
changes in the customer payment terms when making a judgement to evaluate the adequacy of the
allowance for impairment losses. Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and
timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar
credit risk characteristics. If the expectation is different from the estimation, such difference will
impact the carrying value of receivables.
(b) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries made up to the end of the reporting period.
Subsidiaries are entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an
entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group up to the
effective date on which control ceases, as appropriate.
Intragroup transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. Where
necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure consistency of
accounting policies with those of the Group.

(b) Basis of Consolidation (Cont’d)
(i) Business Combinations
All subsidiaries are consolidated using the purchase method except for the subsidiary, Hexa Analisa
Sdn. Bhd., which are accounted for under the merger method.
Under the purchase method, the results of the subsidiaries acquired or disposed off are included
from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. At the date of acquisition, the fair values of
the subsidiaries’ net assets are determined and these values are reflected in the consolidated
financial statements. The cost of acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the
date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by
the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business
combination.
Non-controlling interests are initially measured at their share of the fair values of the identifiable
assets and liabilities of the acquiree as at the date of acquisition.
Under the merger method of accounting, the results of subsidiaries are presented as if the merger
had been effected throughout the current and previous years. In the consolidated financial
statements, the cost of the merger is cancelled with the nominal values of the shares received. Any
resulting debit difference is shown as merger deficit.
(ii) Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests are presented within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position,
separately from the equity attributable to owners of the Company. Profit or loss and each component of
other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling
interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the
non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of
those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes
in equity.
(iii) Changes in Ownership Interests in Subsidiaries without Change of Control
All changes in the parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are
accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-
controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of consideration paid or received is recognised
directly in equity and of the Group.

(b) Basis of Consolidation (Cont’d)
(iv) Loss of Control
Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group recognises any gain or loss on disposal in profit
or loss which is calculated as the difference between:-
(i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained
interest in the former subsidiary; and
(ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the former
subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.
Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the former
subsidiary are accounted for in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or
liabilities were disposed off (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained
profits). The fair value of any investments retained in the former subsidiary at the date when
control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under
MFRS 139 or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate
or a joint venture.
(c) Functional and Foreign Currencies
(i) Functional and Presentation Currency
The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are presented in the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates, which is the functional currency.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) which is the
Company’s functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and Balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the respective functional currencies on initial
recognition, using the exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary
assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period are translated at the rates ruling as of that
date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates that existed when the
values were determined. All exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
(iii) Foreign Operations
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to RM at the rates of exchange ruling at the
end of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated at
exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. All exchange differences arising from
translation are taken directly to other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under
translation reserve. On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount recognised in other
comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified from equity to profit
or loss.

(iii) Foreign Operations (Cont’d)
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of foreign operations are treated as
assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and are recorded in the functional currency of the
foreign operations and translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period except for
those business combinations that occurred before the date of transition (1 June 2011) which are
treated as assets and liabilities of the Company and are not retranslated.
(d) Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the statements of financial position when the Group has become
a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified
as a liability, are reported as an expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments
classified as equity are charged directly to equity.
Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to
settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
A financial instrument is recognised initially at its fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable
to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument (other than a financial instrument at fair value
through profit or loss) are added to/deducted from the fair value on initial recognition, as appropriate.
Transaction costs on the financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss are recognised
immediately in profit or loss.
Financial instruments recognised in the statements of financial position are disclosed in the individual
policy statement associated with each item.
(i) Financial Assets
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables financial assets, or available-for-
sale financial assets, as appropriate.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss when the
financial asset is either held for trading or is designated to eliminate or significantly reduce a
measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise. Derivatives are also
classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or
losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. Dividend income from this
category of financial assets is recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive
payment is established.

(i) Financial Assets (Cont’d)
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (Cont’d)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss could be presented as current or non-current.
Financial assets that are held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current whereas
financial assets that are not held primarily for trading purpose are presented as current or non-
current based on the settlement date.
As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this
category.
Held-to-maturity Investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments and fixed maturities that the management has the positive intention and ability to hold
to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method less any impairment loss, with interest income recognised in profit or loss on an
effective yield basis.
Held-to-maturity investments are classified as non-current assets, except for those having
maturity within 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as current assets.
As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this
category.
Loans and Receivables Financial Assets
Trade receivables and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not
quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables financial assets. Loans and
receivables financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method,
less any impairment loss. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate,
except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.
Loans and receivables financial assets are classified as current assets, except for those having
settlement dates later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-
current assets.
Available-for-sale Financial Assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated in this
category or are not classified in any of the other categories.
After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are remeasured to their fair values at
the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are
recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the fair value reserve, with the
exception of impairment losses. On derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously
accumulated in the fair value reserve is reclassified from equity into profit or loss.

(i) Financial Assets (Cont’d)
Available-for-sale Financial Assets (Cont’d)
Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the
Group’s right to receive payments is established.
Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured
at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets unless they are expected
to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date.
As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this
category.
(ii) Financial Liabilities
All financial liabilities are initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method other than those
categorised as fair value through profit or loss.
Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are either held for trading
or are designated to eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency
that would otherwise arise. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are
designated as hedges.
Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to
defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
(iii) Equity Instruments
Instruments classified as equity are measured at cost and are not remeasured subsequently.
Ordinary shares
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds.
Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when approved for appropriation.
(iv) Derecognition
A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash
flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without
retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial
asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received
(including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss
that had been recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

(iv) Derecognition (Cont’d)
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the
contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference
between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and
the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is
recognised in profit or loss.
(e) Investments in Subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost in the statement of financial position of the Company, and
are reviewed for impairment at the end of the reporting period if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. The cost of the investments includes transaction
costs.
On the disposal of the investments in subsidiaries, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the investments is recognised in profit or loss.
(f) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses, if any.
Freehold land is stated at cost less impairment losses, if any and is not depreciated.
Depreciation is charged to profit or loss on the straight-line method to write off the depreciable amount of
the assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation of an asset does not cease when the asset
becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated. The principal annual rates
used for this purpose are:-
Building 3% Plant and machinery 10- 20% Motor vehicles 10% Office equipment, furniture and fittings 10%
The depreciation method, useful life and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the
end of each reporting period to ensure that the amounts, method and periods of depreciation are
consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic
benefits embodied in the items of the property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets’ carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated
with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying
amount of parts that are replaced is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant
and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Cost also comprises the initial estimate of
dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site on which it is located for which the Group is
obligated to incur when the asset is acquired, if applicable.

(f) Property, Plant and Equipment (Cont’d)
Plant and machinery under construction represents assets which are not ready for commercial use at the
end of the reporting period. Plant and machinery under construction are stated at cost, and are
depreciated accordingly when the assets are completed and ready for commercial use.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the asset is recognised
in the profit or loss.
(g) Intangible Assets
(i) Research and Development Expenditure
Research expenditure is recognised as an expense when it is incurred.
Development expenditure is recognised as an expense except that expenditure incurred on
development projects are capitalised as non-current assets to the extent that such expenditure is
expected to generate future economic benefits. Development expenditure is capitalised if, and only if
an entity can demonstrate all of the following:-
(i) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the asset under development;
(ii) the product or process is technically and commercially feasible;
(iii) its future economic benefits are probable;
(iv) its intention to complete and the ability to use or sell the developed asset; and
(v) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the asset under
development.
Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses, if any. Development expenditure initially recognised as an expense is not
recognised as assets in the subsequent period.
The development expenditure is amortised on a straight-line method over a period of 5 years when
the products are ready for sale or use. In the event that the expected future economic benefits are
no longer probable of being recovered, the development expenditure is written down to its
recoverable amount.
(ii) Industrial Operating Right
Industrial operating right represent costs incurred by the Group to obtain certifications for capabilities
to design, construct and develop low-voltage switchboards to meet international standards. As the
certifications do not have any expiry date, the Group does not amortise these costs. Instead,
impairment is tested annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the industrial operating right might be impaired.

(h) Impairment
(i) Impairment of Financial Assets
All financial assets (other than those categorised at fair value through profit or loss), are assessed at
the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of
one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. For an equity
instrument, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is considered to be
objective evidence of impairment.
An impairment loss in respect of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables financial
assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s
original effective interest rate.
An impairment loss in respect of available-for-sale financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and
is measured as the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and
its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the fair value reserve. In
addition, the cumulative loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity
under fair value reserve, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of
the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring
after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through
profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is
reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been
recognised. In respect of available-for-sale equity instruments, impairment losses previously
recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value
subsequent to an impairment loss made is recognised in other comprehensive income.
(ii) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The carrying values of assets, other than those to which MFRS 136 - Impairment of Assets does not
apply, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period for impairment when there is an indication
that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the
assets with their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the
assets’ fair value less costs to sell and their value-in-use, which is measured by reference to
discounted future cash flow.
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
In respect of assets other than goodwill, and when there is a change in the estimates used to
determine the recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is
treated as a reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying
amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no
impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

(i) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials is determined on
the first-in-first-out basis and comprises the cost of materials and incidentals incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes
the cost of materials, labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(j) Income Taxes
Income taxes for the year comprise current and deferred tax.
Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the
reporting period and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at
the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and
unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which
the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. The
carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to
the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow all or
part of the deferred tax assets to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxation
authority.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss.
Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transactions either in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity and deferred tax arising from a business combination is
included in the resulting goodwill or excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the business combination costs.

(k) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances and demand deposits that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value
with original maturity periods of three months or less.
(l) Employee Benefits
(i) Short-term Benefits
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are
measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the
associated services are rendered by employees of the Group.
(ii) Defined Contribution Plans
The Group's contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in profit or loss in the period
to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further liability in
respect of the defined contribution plans.
(m) Related Parties
A party is related to an entity (referred to as the “reporting entity”) if:-
(a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to a reporting entity if that person:-
(i) has control or joint control over the reporting entity;
(ii) has significant influence over the reporting entity; or
(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the reporting entity or of a parent of the
reporting entity.
(b) An entity is related to a reporting entity if any of the following conditions applies:-
(i) The entity and the reporting entity are members of the same group (which means that each
parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).
(ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of
a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).
(iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.
(iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third
entity.
(v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the reporting
entity or an entity related to the reporting entity. If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the
sponsoring employers are also related to the reporting entity.
(vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a) above.

key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).
Close members of the family of an individual are those family members who may be expected to
influence, or be influenced by, that individual in their dealings with the entity.
(n) Contingent Liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be
confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the
Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not
probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be
measured reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a
change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow is probable, it will then be recognised as
a provision.
(o) Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is
directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. The measurement assumes that the
transaction takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most
advantageous market. For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market’s
participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by
selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
For financial reporting purposes, the fair value measurements are analysed into level 1 to level 3 as
follows:-
Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liability that
the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2: Inputs are inputs, other that quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The transfer of fair value between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in
circumstances that caused the transfer.

established.
(iii) Interest Income
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.
(q) Operating Segments
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may
earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any
of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the
directors to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance,
and for which discrete financial information is available.

The nature and purpose of the reserve are as follow:-
Foreign Currency Translation Reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of
the financial statements of foreign operation whose functional currencies are different from that of the Group’s
presentation currency. It is also used to record the exchange differences arising from monetary items which form
part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operations, where the monetary item is denominated in either the
functional currency of the reporting entity or the foreign operation.
Merger Deficit
The merger deficit in the financial year was related to the subsidiary which was consolidated under the merger
method of accounting.
The merger deficit arose from the difference between the carrying value of the investment and the nominal value
of the shares of the subsidiary upon consolidation using merger accounting principles.
15. RETAINED PROFITS
At the end of the reporting period, the Company will be able to distribute dividends out of its entire retained
profits under the single tier tax system.

(ii) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk
arises mainly from interest-bearing financial assets. The Group’s policy is to obtain the most
favourable interest rates available. Any surplus funds of the Group will be placed with licensed
financial institutions to generate interest income.
Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis
The following table details the sensitivity analysis to a reasonably possible change in the
interest rates as at the end of the reporting period, with all other variables held constant:-

(iii) Equity Price Risk
The Group does not have any quoted investments and hence is not exposed to equity price
risks.
(ii) Credit Risk
The Group’s exposure to credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, arises mainly from trade
and other receivables. The Group manages its exposure to credit risk by the application of credit
approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures on an ongoing basis. For other financial assets,
the Group minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties.
The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in
respect of the trade and other receivables as appropriate. Impairment is estimated by management
based on prior experience and the current economic environment.

Credit risk concentration profile
The Group’s major concentration of credit risk relates to the amounts owing by one (1) (2014: one
(1)) groups of customer which constituted approximately 14% (2014: 22%) of its trade receivables as
at the end of the reporting period.
Exposure to credit risk
As the Group does not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the
carrying amount of the financial assets as at the end of the reporting period.
The exposure of credit risk for trade receivables by geographical region is as follows:-
The Group 2015 2014 RM’000 RM’000 Asia 3,607 4,996

Trade receivables that are past due but not impaired
The Group believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these trade receivables.
They are substantially companies with good collection track record and no recent history of default.

(ii) Credit Risk (Cont’d)
Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired
A significant portion of trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are regular
customers that have been transacting with the Group. The Group uses ageing analysis to monitor
the credit quality of the trade receivables. Any receivables having significant balances past due or
more than 180 days, which are deemed to have higher credit risk, are monitored individually.
(iii) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises mainly from general funding and business activities. The Group practises

(b) Capital Risk Management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities within the Group will be able to maintain an optimal
capital structure so as to support their businesses and maximise shareholders’ value. To achieve this
objective, the Group may make adjustments to the capital structure in view of changes in economic
conditions, such as adjusting the amount of dividend payment, returning of capital to shareholders or
issuing new shares.
The Group manages its capital based on debt-to-equity ratio. As the Group has significant cash and cash
equivalents but a relatively small debt, the debt-to-equity ratio may not provide a meaningful indicator of
the risk of borrowings.
Under the requirement of Bursa Malaysia Practice Note No. 17/2005, the Company is required to
maintain a consolidated shareholders’ equity (total equity attributable to owners of the Company) equal
to or not less than the 25% of the issued and paid-up share capital. The Company has complied with this
requirement.

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

4. EXPLANATORY NOTES ON SPECIAL BUSINESS:
i) Ordinary Resolution – Mandate to issue shares pursuant to Section 132D of the Companies Act, 1965:
The Company wishes to renew the mandate on the authority to issue shares pursuant to Section 132D of the Companies Act, 1965 at the Eighth Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) of the Company (hereinafter referred to as the “General Mandate”). The Company has been granted a general mandate by its shareholders at the Seventh AGM of the Company held on 29 October 2014 (hereinafter referred to as the “Previous Mandate”). The Previous Mandate granted by the shareholders had not been utilised and hence no proceeds were raised therefrom. The purpose to seek the General Mandate is to enable the Directors of the Company to issue and allot shares at any time to such persons in their absolute discretion without convening a general meeting as it would be both time and cost-consuming to organise a general meeting. This authority unless revoked or varied by the Company in the general meeting, will expire at the next Annual General Meeting. The proceeds raised from the General Mandate will provide flexibility to the Company for any possible fund raising activities, including but not limited to further placing of shares, for purpose of funding future investment project(s), working capital and/or acquisitions.
ii) Ordinary Resolution – Proposed Renewal Share Buy Back by the Company
The Proposed Ordinary Resolution No. 8 is passed, will authorise the Company to purchase up to ten per cent (10%) of the issue and paid-up share capital of the Company through Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. All other information remains unchanged.
