CHAIRMAN STATEMENT
Dear Valued Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Annual Report
and Audited Financial Statements of CN Asia Corporation Bhd (CNASIA) for
the financial year ended 31 December 2015.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

During the financial year ended 31 December 2015, CNASIAs


revenue reduced to RM13.1 million as compared to a
revenue of RM15.6 million in the preceding financial year.
Consequently, the Group recorded a loss before taxation of
RM6.3 million as compared to a loss before taxation of RM4.2
million for the year 2014. This was mainly due to increase in
material cost arising from the weakening of Ringgit Malaysia
against other major foreign currencies coupled with the loss
incurred on disposal of certain property, plant and equipment
and written off of certain assets during the financial year
ended 31 December 2015. The Groups net assets fall to
RM0.38 per ordinary share as compared to RM0.52 per
ordinary share in the preceding financial year.

On 6 April 2015, the Proposed Private Placement as approved


by Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Bursa Securities)
vide its letter lapsed. The Company was not able to secure
any placee for the Proposed Private Placement due to
unforeseen and unfavourable market conditions prior to
the expiry of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhads approval.
As such, the Company has decided not to proceed with the
Proposed Private Placement.

The Groups reduction in revenue during the financial year


under review was mainly due to a 10% and 51% reduction
in pressure vessels and dish end supply respectively as
compared to the financial year 2014. This reduction was
mainly caused by the delay in securing certain projects
during the financial year. Nevertheless, the supply of these
two major products were closely related to the slowdown
in oil and gas business following further weakening in the
global crude oil prices.
Besides, the contribution from the storage tank and
road tanker divisions during the financial year 2015 were
consistent with the performance of the preceding year.

DIVIDEND
The Board does not propose any payment of dividend for the
financial year ended 31 December 2015.

INDUSTRY TREND AND PROSPECTS


The outlook on the oil and gas industry for the year 2016 is
still uncertain. The continuous decline in the crude oil prices
has had a massive impact to oil majors. The upstream oil and
gas activities had been cut down significantly and a number of
exploration and production projects were being put on hold.
Nevertheless, investment is still continuing in the midstream
and downstream activities. In view of the uncertain outlook,
oil majors are cautious and taking a wait-and see approach
before commiting to any major capital investment. It was
expected that the major investors decisions may only take
place after year 2019.
In the past one year, the Group has been taking active role
in cutting down its expenses by streamlining its work force
and production activities in order to turnaround the Groups
performance. The Group is actively pursuing overseas
projects in relation to the pressure vessels and road tanker
business to enhance its business performance.

22 | CN ASIA CORPORATION BHD (399442-A)

On 29 May 2015, the Company announced that it is an


Affected Listed Issuer pursuant to Paragraph 2.1(e) of the
Practice Note 17 of the Main Market Listing Requirements
(PN 17) of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The Company
has a remaining of approximately one (1) month to formulate
and submit a Regularisation plan to regularize its financial
condition to the relevant authorities. Prior to becoming a
PN 17 affected listed issuer, the Company has been actively
inititating corporate exercise to revive its business at the
same time changing its business model and diversifying its
business into property development as a plan to counter
the continued decline in oil and gas industry. Thereafter,
the entire corporate exercise was deferred in light of the
Company being classified as a PN 17 Affected Listed Issuer.
The Company will make the necessary announcement on the
Regularisation Plan in due course.

BOARD CHANGES
On behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity
to welcome Mr. Roy Ho Yew Kee, who joined the Board as an
Independent Non-Executive Director on 10 December 2015.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express my
sincere appreciation to our valued shareholders, customers,
suppliers, bankers, advisors, business associates,
management, staff at all levels, the relevant authorities
and government agencies for their continued support,
commitment, contribution and confidence in the Group.
Last but not least, I would like to place on record my
appreciation and thanks of the valued counsel, guidance
and continued support I have received from my fellow Board
members for the past year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT (CONTD)

to members of CN Asia Corporation Bhd (Company No. 399442 - A)


REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the financial statements of CN Asia Corporation Bhd, which comprise statements of financial position as
at 31st December 2015 of the Group and of the Company, and 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 year then ended, and a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on notes 1 to 36.

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 applicable 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 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 judgment, 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
Companys 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 Companys
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 modified audit
opinion.

Basis for Qualified of Opinion


As mentioned in Note 2(e) to the financial statements which discloses the premise upon which the Group has prepared its
financial statements by applying the going concern assumption, notwithstanding that the Group incurred accumulated losses
of RM31,795,852 as at 31st December 2015, and as of that date, the Groups current liabilities exceeded its current assets by
RM8,516,916, thereby indicating the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Groups
ability to continue as a going concern.
On 29th May 2015, the Company announced that it became an Affected Listed Issuer pursuant to Paragraph 2.1(e) of Practice
Note No.17 of Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. As a result, the Company is required
to submit a Regularisation Plan to the relevant authorities and to implement the Regularisation Plan within the stipulated
timeframe.
As at the date of this report, the Company is currently in the midst of formalising a regularization plan. In the event that
this is not forthcoming, the Group and the Company may be unable to realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in
the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements may require adjustments relating to the recoverability
and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Group and the Company be unable to
continue as going concerns.

Qualified of Opinion
In our opinion, except for the effects on the financial statements of the matters as mentioned in the Basis for Qualified Opinions
paragraphs, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as of 31st December
2015 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with applicable Malaysian
Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965
in Malaysia.

firm of auditors who expressed an unmodified opinion but with Emphasis of Matter on those statements on 15th April 2015. The
Emphasis of Matter relates to the Groups abilities to continue as going concerns. As a result of the expression of emphasis of

Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTD)

31st December 2015

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTD)


d)

Use of estimates and judgments (contd.)


Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies
that have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements other than those disclosed in
the following notes:i)

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment


Property, plant and equipment are depreciated in a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life.
Management estimated the useful life of these assets to be 2 to 80 years. Changes in the expected level of
usage and technological developments could impact economic useful life and the residual values of these
assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.

ii)

Impairment losses for receivables


The Group and the Company make impairment losses based on an assessment of the recoverability of
receivables. Impairment loss is applied to receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Management specifically analyses historical default
rate, and changes in customer payment terms when making a judgments to evaluate the adequacy of
the impairment losses of receivables. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such
difference will impact the carrying value of receivables.
At the end of the reporting period, included in the allowance account for trade receivables of the Group is
individually assessed impairment losses for trade receivables amounting to RM111,409 (2014 RM113,209).
The estimates of individually assessed impairment for trade receivables are based on the historical default
rate. Hence, should the actual default rate becomes higher than the estimated default rate, the Group may
be required to charge additional impairment losses to the profit or loss within the next financial year.

iii)

Deferred tax assets


Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unabsorbed tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the unabsorbed tax losses and
unabsorbed capital allowances can be utilised. Significant management judgment 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.

iv)

Impairment of investments in subsidiaries and amounts due from subsidiaries


The Company reviews the investments in subsidiaries for impairment when there is an indication of
impairment and assess the impairment of receivables on the amounts due from subsidiaries when the
receivables are long outstanding.
The recoverable amounts of the investments in subsidiaries and amounts due from subsidiaries are
assessed by reference to the value in use of the respective subsidiaries.
The value in use is the net present value of the projected future cash flows derived from the business
operations of the respective subsidiaries discounted at an appropriate discount rate. For such discounted
cash flow method, it involves the use of estimated future results and a set assumptions to reflect their
income and cash flows. Judgment had also been used to determine the discount rate for the cash flows
and the future growth of the businesses of the businesses of the subsidiaries.

v)

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 times the estimates are made.

v)

Inventories (contd)
The Groups core business is subject to economical and technology changes which may cause selling price
to change rapidly, and the Groups loss to change.
The carrying amount of the Groups inventories at the end of the reporting period is disclosed in Note 8 to
the financial statements.

e)

Financial Position of the Group


The Group has prepared its financial statements by applying the going concern assumption as it is the intention of
the Group to carry on with the existing business activities, notwithstanding that the Group incurred accumulated
losses of RM31,795,852 as at 31st December 2015, and as of that date, the Groups current liabilities exceeded
its current assets by RM8,516,916, thereby indicating the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast
significant doubt about the Groups ability to continue as going concern.

f)

Disclosure of PN17
On 29th May 2015, the Company announced that it became an Affected Listed Issuer pursuant to Paragraph
2.1(e) of Practice Note No.17 of the Main Market Listed Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. As a
result, the Company is required to submit a Regularisation Plan to the relevant authorities and to implement the
Regularisation Plan within the stipulated timeframe.
As at the date of this report, the Company is currently in the midst of formalising a regularisation plan. In the
event that this is not forthcoming, the Group and the Company may be unable to realise their assets and discharge
their liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements may require adjustments
relating to the recoverability and reclassification of recorded assets and liabilities that may be necessary should
the Group and the Company be unable to continue as going concerns.

3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial
statements and have been applied consistently by Group entities, unless otherwise stated.
a)

Basis of consolidation
i)

Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities, including structured entities, controlled by the Company. The financial statements
of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences
until the date that control ceases.
The Group controls an entity when it 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. 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 investees return.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the Companys statement of financial position at cost less
any impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of
investments includes transaction costs.

ii)

Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method from the acquisition date, which is
the date on which control is transferred to the Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTD)

31st December 2015

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD)


a)

Basis of consolidation (contd)


ii)

Business combinations (contd)


For new acquisitions, the Group measures the cost of goodwill at the acquisition date as:



the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus


the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus
if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the
acquiree; less
the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed.

When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interests in the
acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquirees identifiable net assets at the
acquisition date.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group
incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
iii)

Associates
Associates are entities, including unincorporated entities, in which the Group has significant influence, but
not control, over the financial and operating policies.
Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity
method less any impairment losses, unless it is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of the
investment includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements include the Groups share of
the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associates, after adjustments if any, to align the
accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the
date that significant influence ceases.
When the Groups share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of that
interest including any long-term investments is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is
discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the
associate.
When the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate, any retained interest in the former
associate at the date when significant influence is lost is measured at fair value and this amount is regarded
as the initial carrying amount of a financial asset. The difference between the fair value of any retained
interest plus proceeds from the interest disposed of and the carrying amount of the investment at the date
when equity method is discontinued is recognised in the profit or loss.
When the Groups interest in an associate decreases but does not result in a loss of significant influence,
any retained interest is not remeasured. Any gain or loss arising from the decrease in interest is recognised
in profit or loss. Any gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are also
reclassified proportionately to the profit or loss if that gain or loss would be required to be reclassified to
profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities.
Investments in associates are measured in the Companys statement of financial position at cost less
any impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of
investments includes transaction costs.

iv)

Transactions eliminated on consolidation


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

iv)

Transactions eliminated on consolidation (contd)


Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted associates and joint ventures are
eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Groups interest in the investees. Unrealised losses
are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of
impairment.

b)

Foreign currency
i)

Foreign currency transactions


Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities
at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are
retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end
of the reporting date, except for those that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional
currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences
arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments or a financial instrument designated
as a hedge of currency risk, which are recognised in other comprehensive income.
In the consolidated financial statements, when settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable
to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange
gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a
foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the foreign
currency translation reserve (FCTR) in equity.

ii)

Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia


The assets and liabilities of operations denominated in functional currencies other than RM, including
goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the end
of the reporting period, except for goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from business combinations
before 1st January 2012 (the date when the Group first adopted MFRS) which are treated as assets and
liabilities of the Company. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in
hyperinflationary economies, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
The income and expenses of foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies are translated to RM at the
exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Prior to translating the financial statements of foreign
operations in hyperinflationary economies, their financial statements for the current period are restated
to account for changes in the general purchasing power of the local currency. The restatement is based on
relevant price indices at the end of the reporting period.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the
foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR) in equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly-owned
subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the noncontrolling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or
joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the FCTR related to that foreign operation is reclassified to
profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the
relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group
disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation
while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is
reclassified to profit or loss.

Financial instruments
i)

Initial recognition and measurement


A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only
when, the Group or the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial instrument is recognised initially, at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not
at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue
of the financial instrument.
An embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative
if, and only if, it is not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and
the host contract is not categorised as fair value through profit or loss. The host contract, in the event an
embedded derivative is recognised separately, is accounted for in accordance with policy applicable to the
nature of the host contract.

ii)

Financial instrument categorise and subsequent measurement


The Group and the Company categorise financial instruments as follows:Financial assets
a)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss


Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial assets that are held for trading,
including derivatives (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated
and effective hedging instrument) contingent consideration in a business combination or financial
assets that are specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition.
Derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of unquoted equity instruments whose
fair values cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost.
Other financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at
their fair values with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

b)

Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments category comprises debt instruments that are quoted in an active
market and the Group or the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold them to maturity.
Financial assets categorised as held-to-maturity investments are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.

c)

Loans and receivables


Loans and receivables category comprises debt instruments that are not quoted in an active market.
Financial assets categorised as loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.

Available-for-sale financial assets


Available-for-sale category comprises investment in equity and debt securities instruments that are
not held for trading.
Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market
and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost. Other financial assets
categorised as available-for-sale are subsequently measured at their fair values with the gain or loss
recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, foreign exchange gains
and losses arising from monetary items and gains and losses of hedge items attributable to hedge
risks of fair value hedges which are recognised in profit or loss. On derecognition, the cumulative
gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity into profit or loss.
Interest calculated for a debt instrument using the effective interest method is recognised in profit
or loss.

All financial assets, except for those measured at fair value through profit or loss, are subject to review for
impairment (see Note 3(j)(i)).
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost other than those categorised as fair
value through profit or loss.
Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are derivatives (except for
a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument),
contingent consideration in a business combination or financial liabilities that are specifically designated
into this category upon initial recognition.
Derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of equity instruments that do not have a
quoted price in an active market for identical instruments whose fair values otherwise cannot be reliably
measured are measured at cost.
Other financial liabilities categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at
their fair values with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
iii)

Financial guarantee contracts


A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in
accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.
Fair value arising from financial guarantee contracts are classified as deferred income and is amortised
to profit or loss using a straight-line method over the contractual period or, when there is no specified
contractual period, recognised in profit or loss upon discharge of the guarantee. When settlement of a
financial guarantee contract becomes probable, an estimate of the obligation is made. If the carrying
value of the financial guarantee contract is lower than the obligation, the carrying value is adjusted to the
obligation amount and accounted for as a provision.

iv)

Regular way purchase or sale of financial assets


A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms
require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the
marketplace concerned.

A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using
trade date accounting. Trade date accounting refers to : (a)
(b)

v)

the recognition of an asset to be received and the liability to pay for it on the trade date, and
derecognition of an asset that is sold, recognition of any gain or loss on disposal and the recognition
of a receivable from the buyer for payment on the trade date.

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 control of the asset is not retained or substantially all of the risks
and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred to another party. 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 liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been
recognised in equity is recognised in the profit or loss.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the
contract is discharged, 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.

d)

Property, plant and equipment


i)

Recognition and measurement


Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other
costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs
of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. The cost of selfconstructed assets also includes the cost of materials and direct labour. For qualifying assets, borrowing
costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs. Cost also may include
transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of
property, plant and equipment.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of
that equipment.
When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are
accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and is recognised net
within other income and other expenses respectively in profit or loss.

ii)

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

iii)

Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual
assets are assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset,
then that component are depreciated separately.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a reducing balance method over the estimated useful lives
of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment from the date that they are available for
use. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is
reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land is
not depreciated. Property, plant and equipment under construction are not depreciated until the assets
are ready for their intended use. The principal annual rates of depreciation for the property, plant and
equipment are as follows :Rate %
Long-term leasehold land
Building
Motor vehicles
Plant and machinery
Furniture and fittings

86 - 99 years
84 - 92.5 years
5 - 10

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at end of the reporting period, and
adjusted as appropriate.
e)

Leased assets
i)

Finance lease
Leases in terms of which the Group or the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an
amount equal to the lower of its fair value and present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent
to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that
asset.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the
reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term
so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent
lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the
lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed.
Leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease is classified as property, plant and equipment, or as
investment property if held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both.

ii)

Operating lease
Leases, where the Group or the Company 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 on the statement 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 and measured using fair value model.
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the
term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the total
lease expense, over the term of the lease. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the reporting
period in which they are incurred.
Leasehold land which in substance is an operating lease is classified as prepaid lease payments.

Other intangible assets


Other intangible assets, other than goodwill, that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives,
are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

iii)

Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in
the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated
goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

g)

Investment property
i)

Investment property carried at fair value


Investment properties are properties which are owned or held under a leasehold interest to earn rental
income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the
production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value with any changes
therein recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they arise. Where the fair value of the investment
property under construction is not reliably determinable, the investment property under construction is
measured at cost until either its fair value becomes reliably determinable or construction is complete,
whichever is earlier.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The
cost of self-constructed investment property includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other
costs directly attributable to bringing the investment property to a working condition for their intended use
and capitalised borrowing costs.
An investment property is derecognised on its disposal, or when it is permanently withdrawn from use
and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the item is
derecognised.

ii)

Reclassification to /from investment property


When an item of property, plant and equipment is transferred to investment property following a change in
its use, any difference arising at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the item immediately
prior to transfer and its fair value is recognised directly in equity as a revaluation of property, plant and
equipment. However, if a fair value gain reverses a previous impairment loss, the gain is recognised
in profit or loss. Upon disposal of an investment property, any surplus previously recorded in equity is
transferred to retained earnings; the transfer is not made through profit or loss.
When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment or
inventories, its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.

h)

Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average cost formula, and includes expenditure incurred
in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their
existing location and condition. In the case of work-in-progress and finished goods, cost includes an appropriate
share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

i)

Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid
investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in fair value with original maturities of three months
or less, and are used by the Group and the Company in the management of their short term commitments. For
the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and
pledged deposits.

j)

Impairment
i)

Financial assets
All financial assets (except for financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss, investment
in subsidiaries and investment in associates and joint venture) are assessed at each reporting date 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. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how
likely, are not recognised. For an investment in an equity instrument, a significant or prolonged decline in
the fair value below its cost is an objective evidence of impairment. If any such objective evidence exists,
then the impairment loss of the financial asset is estimated.
An impairment loss in respect of loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments is recognised
in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present
value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the assets original effective interest rate. The carrying
amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
An impairment loss in respect of available-for-sale financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and
is measured as the difference between the assets acquisition cost (net of any principal payment and
amortisation) and the assets current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised. Where a
decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised in other comprehensive
income, the cumulative loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
An impairment loss in respect of unquoted equity instrument that is carried at cost is recognised in profit
or loss and is measured as the difference between the financial assets carrying amount and the present
value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial
asset.
Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classified as
available for sale is not reversed through profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively
related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment
loss is reversed, to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount
would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The
amount of the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment (contd)
ii)

Other assets
The carrying amounts of other assets (except for inventories, amount due from contract customers,
deferred tax asset, assets arising from employee benefits, investment property measured at fair value
and non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale) are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists,
then the assets recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite
useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each period at the
same time.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets
that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other
assets or cash-generating units. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purpose of goodwill
impairment testing, cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that
the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored
for internal reporting purposes. The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of
impairment testing, is allocated to a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units that are
expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair
value less costs of disposal. 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 or cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit
exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cashgenerating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cashgenerating unit (group of cash-generating units) and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other
assets in the cash-generating unit (groups of cash-generating units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses
recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the
loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in
the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment
loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the financial year
in which the reversals are recognised.

k)

Equity instruments
Instruments classified as equity are measured at cost on initial recognition and are not remeasured subsequently.
i)

Issue expenses
Costs directly attributable to the issue of instruments classified as equity are recognised as a deduction
from equity.

ii)

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

l)

Employee benefits
i)

Short-term employee benefits


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

l)

Employee benefits (contd)


ii)

State plans
The Groups contributions to statutory pension funds are charged to profit or loss in the financial year to
which they relate. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a
reduction in future payments is available.

iii)

Defined contribution plans


As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to state pension scheme, the Employees
Provident Fund (EPF). Such contributions are recognized as an expense in the income statement as
incurred.

iv)

Termination benefits
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of
those benefits and when the Group recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be
settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting period, then they are discounted.

m)

Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation
that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of
the discount is recognised as finance cost.

n)

Revenue and other income


i)

Goods sold
Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at fair value of the
consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.
Revenue is recognised when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales
agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer,
recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be
estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of
revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be
measured reliably, then the discount is recognised as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognised.

ii)

Construction revenue
Revenue from contract work-in-progress is recognised on the percentage of completion method when the
outcome of the contracts can be reliably estimated. The percentage of completion basis is computed based
on proportion of which the contract costs incurred for work performed to-date bear to the estimated total
contract cost for each contract respectively.

iii)

Rental income
Rental income from investment property is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the
term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income,
over the term of the lease. Rental income from sub-leased property is recognised as other income.

iv)

Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method in profit or loss except for
interest income arising from temporary investment of borrowings taken specifically for the purpose of
obtaining a qualifying asset which is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing
costs.

v)

Management fees
Management fees are recognised when the services are rendered.

o)

Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are
assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised
as part of the cost of those assets.
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 or ceases
when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are
interrupted or completed.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on
qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

p)

Income tax
Income 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.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, 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.
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not
recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of
assets or 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 reserve, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of
the reporting period.
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 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 future taxable profits will be
available against which the unutilised tax incentive can be utilised.

q)

Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Groups business that represents a separate major line of
business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale or distribution, or is
a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon
disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation
is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.

r)

Earnings per ordinary share


The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares (EPS).
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding , adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

s)

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 Groups
other components. Operating segment results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker,
which in this case is the Chief Executive Officer of the Group, to make decisions about resources to be allocated
to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

t)

Contingencies
i)

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

ii)

Contingent assets
When an inflow of economic benefit of an asset is probable where it arises from past events and where
existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future
events not wholly within the control of the entity, the asset is not recognized in the statements of financial
position but is being disclosed as a contingent asset. When the inflow of economic benefit is virtually
certain, then the related asset is recognised.

u)

Fair value measurements


Fair value of an asset or a liability, except for share-based payment and lease transactions, is determined as
the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. The measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset
or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the
most advantageous market.
For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market participants ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.

u)

Fair value measurements (contd)


When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible.
Fair value are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the input used in the valuation
technique as follows : Level 1 :

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

Level 2 :

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

Level 3 :

unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

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

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire segment assets that are expected to
be used for more than one year.
Business segments
The Group comprises the following main business segments : Manufacturing

Manufacture tanks and related products, engineering works and fabrication works

Trading

Repairing and renting of transportable containers for hazardous chemicals

Investment

which, in certain respects as explained in the table below, is measured differently from operating profit or loss in the
consolidated financial statements.

Financial risk management


The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments :


Credit risk
Liquidity and cash flow risk
Market risk
Operational risk

i)

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. The Groups exposure to credit risk arises principally from
its receivables from customers. The Companys exposure to credit risk arises principally from loans
and advances to subsidiaries and financial guarantees given to banks for credit facilities granted to
subsidiaries. The Group also has an internal credit review which is conducted if the credit risk is material.
Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis via Group management reporting procedures.
Receivables

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Credit
risks are minimised and monitored via strictly limiting the Groups associations to business partners
with high credit worthiness. The Group also has an internal credit review which is conducted if the credit
risk is material. Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis via Group management reporting
procedures.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral


As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from receivables is
represented by the carrying amounts in the statement of financial position.
The following shows the total amount due from the top five (5) major customers as at the reporting date,
which represents more than 80% (2014 75%) of the total trade receivables.

Trade receivables

2015

2014

RM1,612,526

RM2,647,749

Management has taken reasonable steps to ensure that receivables that are neither past due nor impaired
are measured at their realisable values. A significant portion of these receivables are regular customers
that have been transacting with the Group. The Group uses ageing analysis to monitor the credit quality
of the receivables. Any past due receivables having significant balances, which are deemed to have higher
credit risk, are monitored individually.
The trade receivables are not secured by any collateral or supported by any other credit enhancements.
The Group maintains an ageing analysis in respect of trade receivables only. The ageing analysis of the
trade receivables is as follows : -

Receivables that are neither past due nor impaired


Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthy debtors with good payment
records with the Group. None of the Groups trade receivables have been renegotiated during the financial
year.
Receivables that are past due but not impaired
As at 31st December 2015, trade receivables of approximately RM1,202,043 (2014 RM1,997,060) were
past due but not impaired. These relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no
recent history of default. All trade receivables, whether current or past due, are reviewed for impairment
on a case-by-case basis to identify impairment taking into account the ageing of the debt, the likelihood of
recoverability and other external factors.

Inter-company loans and advances

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Company provides unsecured loans and advances to subsidiaries. The Company monitors the results
of the subsidiaries regularly.
Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying
amounts in the statement of financial position.
Impairment losses
As at the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that the loans and advances to the subsidiaries
are not recoverable. The Company does not specifically monitor the ageing of current advances to the
subsidiaries.
Financial guarantees

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Company provides unsecured financial guarantees to banks in respect of banking facilities granted
to certain subsidiaries. The Company monitors on an ongoing basis the results of the subsidiaries and
repayments made by the subsidiaries.
Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral
The maximum exposure to credit risk amounts to RM11,852,976 (2014 RM12,035,725) representing the
outstanding banking facilities of the subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period.
As at the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that any subsidiary would default on
repayment.
The financial guarantees have not been recognised since the fair value on initial recognition was not
material.
ii)

Liquidity risk and cash flow risk


Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
Groups exposure to liquidity risk arises principally from its various payables, loans and borrowings.
The Group maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents and bank facilities deemed adequate by the
management to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when
they fall due.
It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier or
at significantly different amounts.

Currency risk sensitivity analysis


A 5% strengthening of RM against the following currency at the end of the reporting period would have
increased /(decreased) equity and profit or loss before tax by the amount shown below. This analysis is
based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonable possible at
the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates,
remained constant.

A 5% of weakened of RM against the above foreign currency at the end of the reporting period would have
had equal but opposite effect on the above currency to the amount shown above, on the basis that all other
variables remained constant.
Interest rate risk
The Groups fixed rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes in
interest rate. The Groups variable rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to
changes interest rates. Short term investment such as deposits with licensed bank are not significantly
exposed to interest rate risk.

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Groups policy is to borrow principally on the floating rate basis but to retain a proportion of fixed rate
debt. The objectives for the mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings are set to reduce the impact of
an upward change in interest rates while enabling benefits to be enjoyed if interest rates fall.
Exposure to interest rate risk
The interest rate profile of the Groups and the Companys significant interest-bearing financial instruments,
based on carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period was : -

Deposits with licensed banks

Interest /Expense rate risk sensitivity analysis : Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments
The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit
or loss. Therefore, a change on interest rates at the end of the reporting period would not affect profit or
loss.

Interest /Expense rate risk sensitivity analysis (contd): Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments
At the reporting date, if interest rates had been 100 basis points lower/higher, with all other variables held
constant, the Groups loss net of tax would have been RM144,846 higher/lower, arising mainly as a result
of lower/higher interest expense on floating rate borrowings. The assumed movement in basis points for
interest /expense rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.
iv)

Operational risk
The operational risk arises from the daily activities of the Group which includes legal, credit reputation and
financing risk and other risks associated to daily running of its business operations.
Such risks are mitigated through proper authority levels of approval limits, clear reporting structure,
segregation of duties, policies and procedures implemented and periodic management meetings.
In dealing with its stewardship, the directors recognise that effective risk management is an integral part
of good business practice.
The directors will pursue an ongoing process of identifying, assessing and managing key business areas,
overall operational and financial risks faced by the business units as well as regularly reviewing and
enhancing risk mitigating strategies with its appointed and key management personnel.
