CHAIRMAN’SSTATEMENT

GROUP’S FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Group recorded RM208.59 million in revenue during the 12 months financial period, as compared to previous 18 months financial period of RM237.82 million. However, if based on 12 months annualised revenue of RM158.55 million, the Group’s revenue has increased significantly due to the sales of land and final recognition of revenue for Matang Revised Route and the Faculty of Medical & Health Science (FMHS) and Institute of Health & Community Medicine (IHCM) of University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) projects that was in their final stage of completion in this financial period.

The Group recorded loss after taxation of RM14.87 million due to higher taxation of RM10.39 million arising from the sale of land, deferred tax asset and operational business tax, additional cost incurred in projects and impairment of asset.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The Malaysian economy is expected to remain on a steady growth path in 2014 expanding by 4.5 – 5.5% as compared to 4.7% in previous year. The growth momentum will be supported by better performance in the external sector amid some moderation in domestic demand. The construction sector is expected to grow at a more moderate pace in 2014.

04 ZECON BERHAD Annual Report 2014

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (CONT’D)

GROUP’S PROSPECTS

For 2015, the Malaysian economy is expected to grow at 5 – 6 %. This steady growth will provide a solid platform for the commencement of 11th Malaysia Plan in May 2015. As an emerging economy, investments in infrastructure development will continue to be the bedrock of our economy. We envisage that the construction and housing sectors will be boosted as the government is trying its best to provide affordable housing for certain segments of the population.

Our group is expected to secure a sizable construction contracts with our sale of land to Perumahan Rakyat 1 Malaysia (PR1MA) recently. This proposed project would boost the turnover of our construction division in the near future. We will continue to propose new projects to be developed within our land bank especially through strategic alliance with reputable developers in Malaysia. This will complement our normal business development activities including participating in new tenders and submitting proposals to relevant clients.

HEALTHY, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT (HSE)

The key guiding principles that we always hold to in meeting our corporate goals are the safety of our people, the well-being of the environment that we operate in as well as the safe operational condition of our assets. Recognising the importance of HSE at our work places, the Company has incorporated the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS 18001) and Environmental Management System (EMS 14001) elements in its existing management system and currently is in the midst of getting certification for both to complement our current Quality Management System that was already certified to ISO 9001:2008.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)

As a responsible corporate citizen, we recognise that we have an underlying duty to commit to social causes through continuous and sustained investment of our CSR initiatives. We have embedded the principles of CSR in our day to day operations, putting sustainable and ethical ways of doing business. It is important to our employees to work with a socially responsible organisation and our approach therefore reflects our people.

Zecon’s Achievement Awards was introduced in March 2014 where awards were given to 7 children of the staff of the Company who scored remarkable results in Public Examinations. Monetary tokens were given to straight A’s students to recognize their hard work and also to motivate them to strive for excellence. Zecon’s Excellence Award

for the best students from the Faculty of Engineering, UNIMAS has been a yearly affair for the Company for the past 10 years.

OUR PEOPLE

The success of our Company depends on recruiting, nurturing and retaining the best talents. It is pivotal to build a competent workforce that can excel in a complex, rapidly changing environment. This belief is deeply embedded within the organization where top management and staff are seen as the Company’s biggest source of success, growth and most important asset of all. The Group invest in its people in term of training and development to ensure their continuous growth and advancement. The Company is fully committed in developing capable and competent employees. Its annual training budget has been increased and several trainings have been carried out for this purpose.

Recently, the Company decided to increase its Employee Provident Fund (EPF) employer’s contribution as much as 15 – 20% for staff who has been in service with the company for more than 10 years as a show of appreciation for their loyalty and hard work and at the same time maintain the talented pool of staff in the Company.

While we encourage our people to work hard as an important element of our success, we also ensure that it is balanced with social and recreational activities. As in the last 4 years, a bowling tournament was organised again this year and this tournament will be our annual activity since most of the staff enjoyed it.

APPRECIATION

On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our management and staff for their hard work, commitment and dedication to achieve the objectives of the Group. Our appreciation also goes to our business partners for their continued support. To my fellow Board members who have been instrumental in providing guidance and valuable insights to the management throughout the year, I thank you very much. To our shareholders and customers, we thank you for your confidence and support. We have built our business with you in mind and will continue adding value for shareholders and customers alike.

Thank you. Tan Sri Datuk Amar (Dr.) Hamid Bin BugoChairman

GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW

INTRODUCTION

In this Financial Year of July 2013 – June 2014, we continued to focus on achieving our corporate vision, i.e. to be a leading construction and engineering company. Our vision has and will continue to keep us on track as we steer our business and operations steadily amidst the unpredictable economic situation worldwide.

The net loss after tax amounting to RM14.87 million posted in this financial year was mainly due to higher taxation arising from the sale of land and increased cost of operations. This will not affect our plan for the future as the Group remains committed in its strategy of staying focused in its core competencies by continuing to improve our position in the construction and engineering in the public as well as the private sectors and diversifying earnings through new property development through potential business ventures with established property developers in Malaysia to develop our land bank. We

believe our strategy will sustain Zecon’s business growth in the property development sector.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

Construction The physical commencement of several construction projects such as the Proposed Supermall at Vista Tunku costing RM155 mil l ion and the RM495 million 300 beds Proposed Hospital Petra Jaya (HPJ) Project in Kuching, and the construction of the Proposed 10 Storey Commercial Building at Taman Melawati for Sime Darby Melawati Development Sdn Bhd costing RM82.9 million in Kuala Lumpur has contributed to the

group’s turnover during this financial year.

06 ZECON BERHAD Annual Report 2014

The construction of the Proposed Supermall at Vista Tunku is on-going and is expected to be completed in mid-2015 whereas the works at the Proposed Melawati Commercial Project should be completed in mid-2016. Construction activities at the HPJ project site is gaining momentum with foundation works completed. We are expected to complete the Proposed HPJ project in November 2016.

In the next financial year, we will commence the construction of our Proposed Children Specialist Hospital for Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia undertaken as a Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) project. This project valued at RM606 million will be completed in 54 months from its commencement date duly approved by the government.

We will also achieved full completion of several projects such as the construction of Sungai Triang Dam and its associated works in Negeri Sembilan, the Faculty of Medicine & Health Science and Institute of Health & Community Medicine of University Malaysia Sarawak in Kuching, the Bintulu Compressor Station for Sabah-Sarawak Gas Pipeline Project, the final component of Matang Highway Revised Route Project and the Construction and Completion of 12 MLD Water Treatment Plant and its Associated Works in Kapit in the next financial year.

Toll ConcessionThe Tun Salahuddin Toll Bridge Concession continue to perform consistently with improved collection over the years as traffic volume hit a daily average of 30,000 vehicles using the Toll Bridge. The general maintenance of the roads and bridge within the toll concession areas has been carried out in a systematic manner since its opening in 2003.

Property DevelopmentThe commercial properties in Phase 1 and the double storey terraced houses in Phase 2 of our Vista Tunku Development in Petra Jaya are nearing completion pending issuance of its occupation permit from the relevant council. With the expected completion of the proposed Supermall project in 2015 and the commencement of new development soon, we envisage Vista Tunku will become a new residential and commercial hub in Petra Jaya, Kuching. We are also exploring to partner with property developer to develop our land bank at Petra Indah in Petra Jaya, Kuching into a new township in the near future.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

Our focus will continue to be on our traditional engineering and construction business as we build on our track records and expertise as an established engineering contractor. The Company is actively seeking for new projects and shall remain committed to exploring and evaluating opportunities to develop our business through joint ventures and/or strategic alliances that could complement our business.

Currently, we are collaborating with international companies such as Hyundai Engineering Co., Ltd and Posco Engineering of South Korea and PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk. of Indonesia in our current projects. The Management is also evaluating opportunities to establish strategic alliance with property corporations in Malaysia and hope to achieve success in the near future.

The construction of the Proposed Children Specialist Hospital for Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia commencing in the next financial year with a 30 years concession period will provide a steady long term earning base for the group once completed and operational in 2017.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to our shareholders, government bodies, clients, business associates and suppliers for their support over the past decades. Our whole-hearted thanks also go to the management team and staff for their commitment, hard work and efforts.

I would also like to acknowledge the contributions from our Board of Directors. They have provided wise counsel and direction to the Group from their vast experience and expertise, which we are privileged to have.

We are grateful to all of you who have keenly supported Zecon and contributed towards achieving its vision. Looking ahead, we will continue to work diligently to sustain the company’s growth and are indeed inspired by our future prospects.

Thank you.

STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT & INTERNAL CONTROL

INTRODUCTION

The Board of Directors (“the Board”) is committed to maintain a sound system of risk management and internal control within the Group of Companies (“the Group”) and is pleased to provide the following Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control which outlines the nature and scope of risk management framework and system of internal control of the Group during the financial year ended 30 June 2014 in pursuant to Paragraph 15.26(b) of Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and guided by the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control: Guidance for Directors of Listed Issuers.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BOARD The Board is ultimately responsible for the Group’s system of internal control, which includes the establishment of an appropriate control environment and framework as well as reviewing its adequacy and integrity. However, it should be noted that such systems are designed to manage rather than eliminate risks of failure to achieve corporate objectives. Hence, it can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

The Risk Management Framework established in May 2003, provides a structured approach in identifying, assessing and managing the key risks encountered by the Group. During the year, the Group has reviewed and updated the risk assessment framework, which covered the full spectrum of the Group’s operations. This involved reviewing and identifying the key risk exposures of the Group and providing an assessment on the risks identified, the strength of internal controls and/or action plans that mitigate and manage the risks and the residual tasks. The risks are being assessed continuously through the Risk Management Committee headed by the Company’s Chairman and Sub-Risk Management Committee at subsidiary level, headed by either Vice President or General Manager. Critical risk issues at subsidiary level are brought up and deliberated in the Risk Management Committee meeting. The chairman shall eventually highlight the critical risk issues to the Board for further deliberation and decisions.

KEY PROCESSES OF INTERNAL CONTROL

The key processes of internal control of the Group can be summarized as follow:

Internal Review and Audit: The system of internal control is continually being reviewed and enhanced. Apart from internal review on the Group’s policies and procedures, the Audit Division conducts periodic internal audits and evaluate the effectiveness of the system of internal control within the Group. The Internal Auditor provides the Audit Committee with independent and objectives reports on the state of internal controls and risk management, the extent of compliance with policies and procedures, recommendations and the management response thereof. The Audit Committee considers the report from internal audit and response from management and thereafter presents their conclusion to the Board.

Financial Policies and Procedure Manual: The Group has a clear structure whereby the responsibilities and scope of authorities are defined. This is clearly documented in the internal policies and operation procedures as set out in the Financial Policies and Procedures Manual. This manual is reviewed and updated by the management regularly. The Group has also put in place policies and procedures on tender and contracts which has been approved by the Board to be implemented effective 24 February 2009.

Financial Reporting: Quarterly results, annual financial statements and comparison of actual results against approved budgets are reviewed and deliberated by the Audit Committee before being recommended to the Board for approval. Thereafter, the results are announced to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad as required.

27ZECON BERHADAnnual Report 2014

STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT & INTERNAL CONTROL (CONT’D)

Operational Risk: The risks inherent in the construction and properties sectors are mainly related to market conditions, procurement and tendering, execution of construction works and completion of project within the contract period. Construction schedules, cost of projects and quality are controlled through monthly project meetings and progress reports to the management. The risks related with toll operations has been mitigated by way of a contractual agreement with the State Government of Sarawak on its tenure, rates increment, extension clause, etc. The Group’s Risk Management framework and risk management sub-committee at project and subsidiary levels had been set up with a common objective to identify, evaluate, control, mitigate and minimize risks.

ISO 9001:2008: Regular audits to ensure compliance with all requirement of ISO 9001:2008. The ISO certification serves as a quality assurance approach where customers are assured of continuous delivery of the highest quality of products and services provided by the Group.

Related Party Transaction: The Group has in place adequate procedures and processes to monitor, trace and identify related party transactions in a timely and orderly manner and such procedures and processes are reviewed on a yearly basis or whenever the need arises.

This statement does not include the state of internal controls in joint ventures and associated companies, which have not been dealt with as part of the Group.

ASSURANCE

The Board has received reasonable assurance from the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that the Group’s risk management and internal control system is operating adequately and effectively, in all material aspects based on the risk management and internal control system of the Group.

BOARD’S CONCLUSION

The Board of Directors is pleased to disclose that the risk management processes and system of internal control are appropriate to the Group’s operations. Nevertheless, the process in identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks faced by the Group will be ongoing to meet any changing needs.

rePort on the financial stateMents

We have audited the financial statements of Zecon berhad, which comprise statements of financial position as at 30 June 2014 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 pages 45 to 140.

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 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 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 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 at 30 June 2014 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia.

rePort on other leGal anD reGulatory requireMents

In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia, we also report the following:

(a) In our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and its subsidiaries of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

(b) We have considered the financial statements and the auditors’ reports of all the subsidiaries of which we have not acted as auditors, which are indicated in Note 16 to the financial statements, being financial statements that have been included in the consolidated financial statements.

• ICInterpretation20,StrippingCostsintheProductionPhaseofaSurfaceMine• AmendmentstoFRS1,GovernmentLoans• AmendmentstoFRS10,FRS11andFRS12,ConsolidatedFinancialStatements,JointArrangements

and Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities: Transition Guidance

The adoption of the above standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the financial performance or position of the Group, except as discussed below:

frs 10, consolidated financial statements FRS 10 replaces part of FRS 127, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deals with consolidated

financial statements and IC Interpretation 112 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities.

Under FRS 10, an investor controls an investee when (a) the investor has power over an investee, (b) the investor has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (c) the investor has ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Under FRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, control was defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

FRS 10 includes detailed guidance to explain when an investor has control over the investee. FRS 10 requires the investor to take into account all relevant facts and circumstances.

The application of this new standard is expected to have no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

frs 11, Joint arrangements

FRS11replacesFRS131InterestsinJointVenturesandICInterpretation113Jointly-ControlledEntities-Non-monetaryContributionsbyVenturers.

The classification of joint arrangements under FRS 11 is determined based on the rights and obligations of the parties to the joint arrangements by considering the structure, the legal form, the contractual terms agreed by the parties to the arrangement and when relevant, other facts and circumstances. Under FRS 11, joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures.

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

FRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (“JCE”) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCE that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method.

The adoption of this standard is expected to have no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

2.2 changes in accounting policies (cont’d)

frs 12, Disclosures of interests in other entities

FRS 12 includes all disclosure requirements for interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are required. This standard affects disclosures only and has no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

frs 13, fair value Measurement

FRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under FRS for all fair value measurements. FRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under FRS when fair value is required or permitted. As a result of the guidance of FRS 13, the Group re-assessed its policies for measuring fair values, in particular, its valuation inputs such as non-performance risk for fair value measurement of liabilities. FRS 13 also required additional disclosures.

Application of FRS 13 has not materially impacted the fair value measurement of the Group. Additional disclosures were required, are provided in the individual notes relating to the assets and liabilities whose fair values were determined.

frs 127, separate financial statements

As a consequence of the new FRS 10 and FRS 12, FRS 127 is limited to accounting for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates in separate financial statements.

frs 128, investments in associates and Joint ventures

As a consequence of the new FRS 11 and FRS 12, FRS 128 is renamed as FRS 128 Investments in Associates andJointVentures.Thisnewstandarddescribestheapplicationoftheequitymethodtoinvestmentsinjoint ventures in addition to associates.

amendments to frs 7, Disclosures - offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

The amendments require additional information to be disclosed to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with the entity’s recognised financial assets and recognised financial liabilities, on the entity’s financial position. The amendment affects disclosure only and has no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

The directors expect that the adoption of the amendments/standards above will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group in the period of initial application. The nature of the impending changes in accounting policies on adoption of applicable amendments/standards are described below:

frs effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014

• AmendmentstoFRS10,FRS12,andFRS127,InvestmentEntities

These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the definition of an investment entity under FRS 10. The exception to consolidation requires investment entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. It is expected that this amendment would not be relevant to the Group, since none of the entities in the Group would qualify to be an investment entity under FRS 10.

• AmendmentstoFRS132,OffsettingFinancialAssetsandFinancialLiabilities

The amendments to FRS 132 clarified that a legally enforceable right to set off is a right of set off that must not be contingent on a future event; and must be legally enforceable in the normal course of business, the event of default and the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all of the counterparties. The amendments further clarified that an entity will meet the net settlement criterion as provided in FRS 132 if the entity can settle amounts in a manner that the outcome is, in effect, equivalent to net settlement.

• AmendmentstoFRS139,NovationofDerivativesandContinuationofHedgeAccounting

These amendments provide relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a derivative designated as a hedging instrument meets certain criteria. The Company has not novated its derivatives during the current period. However, these amendments would be considered for future novation.

• AmendmentstoFRS136,RecoverableAmountDisclosuresforNon-FinancialAssets

The amendments to FRS 136 clarified that recoverable amount (determined based on fair value less costs of disposal) is required to be disclosed only when an impairment loss is recognised or reversed. In addition, there are new disclosure requirements about fair value measurement when impairment or reversal of impairment is recognised.

The amendments to FRS 136 are to be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

The amendments affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

• ICInterpretation21,Levies

The Interpretation clarifies that an entity should recognise a liability to pay a levy when it is within the scope of FRS 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. It also explains that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. For example, if the activity that triggers the payment of the levy is the generation of revenue in the current period and the calculation of that levy is based on the revenue that was generated in the previous period, the obligating event for that levy is the generation of revenue in the current period. The generation of revenue in the previous period is necessary, but not sufficient, to create a present obligation.

The Interpretation also clarifies that the liability to pay a levy is recognised progressively if the obligating event occurs over a period of time. If an obligation to pay a levy is triggered when a minimum threshold is reached, the liability to pay a levy is recognised when that minimum activity threshold is reached.

• Amendments toFRS116,Property,PlantandEquipmentandFRS138, IntangibleAssets:clarification of acceptable Methods of Depreciation and amortisation

FRS 116 and FRS 138 both establish the principle for the basis of depreciation and amortisation as being the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits of an asset.

The amendments to FRS 116 prohibit revenue-based depreciation because revenue does not, as a matter of principle, reflect the way in which an item of property, plant and equipment is used or consumed. For example, revenue is affected by other inputs and processes, selling activities and changes in sales volumes and prices. The price component may be affected by inflation, which has no bearing upon the way in which an asset is consumed.

The amendments to FRS 138 introduce a rebuttable presumption that an amortisation method that is based on the revalue generated by an activity that includes the use of an intangible asset is inappropriate (for the same reasons as the amendments to FRS 116). This presumption can be overcome only in the limited circumstances:

(a) in which the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue, i.e. in the circumstance in which the predominant limiting factor that is inherent in an intangible asset is the achievement of a revenue threshold; or

(b) when it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated.

The amendments apply prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

• FRS9,FinancialInstruments:ClassificationandMeasurement

FRS 9 reflects the first phase of work on the replacement of FRS 139 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in FRS 139. The standard was initially effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, but Amendments to FRS 9: Mandatory Effective Date of FRS 9 and Transition Disclosures, issued in March 2012, moved the mandatory effective date to 1 January 2015. Subsequently, on 14 February 2014, it was announced that the new effective date will be decided when the project is closer to completion. The adoption of the first phase of FRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but will not have an impact on classification and measurement of the Group’s financial liabilities. The Group will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when the final standard including all phases is issued.

Malaysian financial reporting standards

On 19 November 2011, the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) issued a new MASB approved accounting framework, the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS Framework”).

The MFRS Framework is to be applied by all Entities Other Than Private Entities for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012, with the exception of entities that are within the scope of MFRS 141 Agriculture (MFRS 141) and IC Interpretation 15 Agreements for Construction of Real Estate (IC 15), including its parent, significant investor and venturer (herein called ‘Transitioning Entities’).

Transitioning Entities will be allowed to defer adoption of the new MFRS Framework for additional three years. Consequently, adoption of the MFRS Framework by Transitioning Entities will be mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. Subsequently, on 2 September 2014, MASB has issued the following standards:

(i) MFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(ii) Agriculture: Bearer Plants (Amendments to MFRS 116, Property, Plant and Equipment and MFRS 141,

Agriculture).

With the issuance of MFRS 14 and the Bearer Plants Amendment, all Transitioning Entities would be required to adopt the MFRS Framework latest by 1 January 2017.

Malaysian financial reporting standards (cont’d)

The Group falls within the scope definition of Transitioning Entities and accordingly, will be required to prepare financial statements using the MFRS Framework in its first MFRS financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2018. In presenting its first MFRS financial statements, the Group will be required to restate the comparative financial statements to amount reflecting the application of MFRS Framework. The majority of the adjustments required on transition will be made, retrospectively, against opening retained profits.

At the date of these financial statements, the Group has not completed its quantification of the financial effects of the differences between Financial Reporting Standards and accounting standards under the MFRS Framework due to the ongoing assessment by the project team. Accordingly, the financial performance and financial position as disclosed in these financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2014 could be different if prepared under the MFRS Framework.

The Group considers that it is achieving its scheduled milestones and expects to be in a position to fully

comply with the requirements of the MFRS Framework for the financial year ending 30 June 2018.

2.4 significant accounting policies

(a) basic of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the reporting date. The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.

The Company controls an investee if and only if the Company has all the following:

(i) Power over the investee (i.e existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);

(ii) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its investment with the investee; and (iii) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, the Company considers the following in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power over the investee:

(i) The size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

(ii) Potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;(iii) Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and (iv) Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have,

the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.

2.4 significant accounting policies (cont’d)

(a) basic of consolidation (cont’d)

Subsidiaries are consolidated when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.

Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interests even if that results in a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. The resulting difference is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests, is recognised in profit or loss. The subsidiary’s cumulative gain or loss which has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss or where applicable, transferred directly to retained earnings. The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date control is lost is regarded as the cost on initial recognition of the investment.

business combinations

Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. The Group elects on a transaction-by-transaction basis whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Transaction costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses.

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

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

business combinations (cont’d)

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.

(b) subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has all the following:

(i) Power over the investee (i.e existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);

(ii) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its investment with the investee; and (iii) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss.

(c) investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

On acquisition of an investment in associate or joint venture, any excess of the cost of investment over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill and included in the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee over the cost of investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the Group’s share of the associate’s or joint venture’s profit or loss for the period in which the investment is acquired.

2.4 significant accounting policies (cont’d)

(c) investments in associates and joint ventures (cont’d)

An associate or a joint venture is equity accounted for from the date on which the investee becomes an associate or a joint venture.

Under the equity method, on initial recognition the investment in an associate or a joint venture is recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture after the date of acquisition. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate or a joint venture equal or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.

Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its associate or joint venture are recognised in the Group’s financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

The financial statements of the associates and joint ventures are prepared as of the same reporting date as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

After application of the equity method, the Group applies MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss with respect to its net investment in the associate or joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment in accordance with MFRS 136 Impairment of Assets as a single asset, by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Reversal of an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss.

(d) intangible assets

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

(ii) toll concession

Zecon Toll Concessionaire Sdn. Bhd. (“ZTCSB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Concession Agreement with the State Government of Sarawak on the 17 July 1998. Under this agreement, the State Government of Sarawak commissioned ZTCSB under a privatisation Scheme to design, build, operate and maintain a dual three lane carriageway (Second Kuching Bridge crossing) over the Sarawak River in Kuching, Sarawak.

As part of the consideration of the construction agreement, the State Government of Sarawak granted ZTCSB the right to collect toll for the usage over the Second Kuching Bridge for a period up to 2037 and a further 19 years at the option of the State Government of Sarawak.

The Group considers the cost of the toll concession as the amount forgone in respect of the consideration receivable from the State Government of Sarawak under the Concession Agreement and is amortised over the concession period based on the following formula:

Traffic Cost of toll Accumulated volume to date X concession less amortisation Estimated total traffic

volume of the concession period

The information on traffic volume is derived based on independent traffic consultant’s report and the carrying value of the toll concession is subject to an annual review.

(e) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment, except for freehold land, are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

2.4 significant accounting policies (cont’d)

(e) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation (cont’d)

Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Leasehold land is depreciated over the remaining useful life. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided for on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over the estimated useful life at the following annual rates:

Motor vehicles 20%Vesselsanddredgers 15%Office furniture, fittings, equipment and renovation 10% - 331/3%Plant, machinery and equipment 10% - 15%Buildings 2%

Work-in-progress is not depreciated as these assets are not available for use.

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any and the net carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss and the unutilised portion of the revaluation surplus on that item is taken directly to retained earnings.

(f) land held for development and development costs

(i) land held for development

Land held for development consists of land where no development activities have been carried out or where development activities are not expected to be completed within the normal operating cycle. Such land is classified within non-current assets and is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Land held for development is reclassified as development costs at the point when development activities have commenced and where it can be demonstrated that the development activities can be completed within the normal operating cycle.

(f) land held for development and development costs (cont’d)

(ii) Property development costs

Property development costs comprise all costs that are directly attributable to development activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities.

When the financial outcome of a development activity can be reliably estimated, property development revenue and expenses are recognised in profit or loss by using the stage of completion method based on certification by professional architects. The stage of completion is determined by the proportion that property development costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total property development costs.

Where the financial outcome of a development activity cannot be reliable estimated, property development revenue is recognised only to the extent of property development costs incurred that is probable will be recoverable, and property development costs on properties sold are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Any expected loss on a development project, including costs to be incurred over the defects liability period, is recognised as an expense immediately.

Property development costs not recognised as an expense are recognised as an asset, which is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

The excess of revenue recognised in profit or loss over billings to purchasers is classified as accrued billings within trade receivables and the excess of billings to purchasers over revenue recognised in profit or loss is classified as progress billings within trade payables.

(g) construction contracts

Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs are recognised as revenue and expenses respectively by using the stage of completion method. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to the estimated total contract costs.

Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be reliably estimated, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

When the total of costs incurred on construction contracts plus, recognised profits (less recognised

losses), exceeds progress billings, the balance is classified as amount due from customers on contracts. When progress billings exceed costs incurred plus, recognised profits (less recognised losses), the balance is classified as amount due to customers on contracts.

(h) impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of assets, other than construction contract assets, property development costs, inventories, and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated to determine the amount of impairment loss.

For goodwill, intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date or more frequently when indicators of impairment are identified.

For the purpose of impairment testing of these assets, recoverable amount is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs to. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to those units or groups of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis.

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is accounted for as a revaluation decrease to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount held in the asset revaluation reserve for the same asset.

Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is recognised in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

(i) inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value and are valued on a first-in-first-out basis. In arriving at the net realisable value due allowance is made for all damaged, obsolete and slow-moving items.

Cost of work-in-progress include cost of raw materials, direct labour and attributable production overheads. Cost of raw materials and supplies include expenses incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. The cost of unsold properties comprises cost associated with the acquisition of land, direct costs and appropriate proportions of common cost.

(j) leases

(i) classification

A lease is recognised as a finance lease if it transfers substantially to the Group all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Leases of land and buildings are classified as operating or finance leases in the same way as leases of other assets and the land and buildings elements of a lease of land and buildings are considered separately for the purposes of lease classification. All leases that do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards are classified as operating leases, with the following exceptions:

- Property held under operating leases that would otherwise meet the definition of an investment property is classified as an investment property on a property-by-property basis and, if classified as investment property, is accounted for as if held under a finance lease; and

- Land held for own use under an operating lease, the fair value of which cannot be measured separately from the fair value of a building situated thereon at the inception of the lease, is accounted for as being held under a finance lease, unless the building is also clearly held under an operating lease.

(ii) finance leases - the group as lessee

Assets acquired by way of hire purchase or finance leases are stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair values and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The corresponding liability is included in the statement of financial position as borrowings. In calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments, the discount factor used is the interest rate implicit in the lease, when it is practicable to determine; otherwise, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct costs are also added to the carrying amount of such assets.

(ii) finance leases - the group as lessee (cont’d)

Lease payments are apportioned between the finance costs and the reduction of the outstanding liability. Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total leasing commitments and the fair value of the assets acquired, are recognised in profit or loss over the term of the relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period.

The depreciation policy for leased assets is in accordance with that for depreciable property, plant and equipment, as disclosed in Note 2.4(e).

(iii) operating leases - the group as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

In the case of a lease of land and buildings, the minimum lease payments or the up-front payments made are allocated, whenever necessary, between the land and the buildings elements in proportion to the relative fair values for leasehold interests in the land element and buildings element of the lease at the inception of the lease. The up-front payment represents prepaid land lease payments and are amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(iv) operating leases - the group as lessor

Assets leased out under operating leases are presented on the statement of financial position according to the nature of the assets. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(k) income tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and 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 taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax is 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 tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognised as an income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the year, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or the amount of any excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the combination.

(l) employee benefits

(i) short term benefits

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

(ii) Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee services in the current and preceding financial years. Such contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as incurred. As required by law, companies in Malaysia make such contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”). Some of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries also make contributions to their respective countries’ statutory pension schemes.

(m) foreign currencies

(i) functional and presentation currency

The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the Company’s functional currency.

(ii) foreign currency transactions

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the reporting date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operation, where that monetary item is denominated in either the functional currency of the reporting entity or the foreign operation, are initially taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve within equity until the disposal of the foreign operations, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss.

Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operation, where that monetary item is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of either the reporting entity or the foreign operation, are recognised in profit or loss for the period. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Company’s net investment in foreign operation, regardless of the currency of the monetary item, are recognised in profit or loss in the Company’s financial statements or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in equity.

(iii) foreign operations

The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency (RM) of the consolidated financial statements are translated into RM as follows:

- Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate prevailing at the reporting date;

- Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates for the year, which approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions; and

- All resulting exchange differences are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve within equity.

(n) revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i) Property development

Revenue from sale of properties is accounted for by the stage of completion method as described in Note 2.4(f ).

(ii) construction contracts

Revenue from construction and other contracts is accounted for by the percentage of completion method as described in Note 2.4(g).

(iii) toll concession

Toll revenue is accounted for as at when toll is chargeable for the usage of the Second Kuching Bridge crossing.

(iv) Dividend income

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

(v) interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis that reflects the effective yield on the asset.

2.4 significant accounting policies (cont’d)

(o) routine maintenance costs

Routine maintenance costs on the toll bridge shall be charged to profit or loss when incurred.

(p) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as finance cost.

(q) borrowing costs

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 added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. 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.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(r) financial assets

Financial assets are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group and the Company determine the classification of their financial assets at initial recognition, and the categories include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets.

(a) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss if they are held for trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets held for trading are derivatives (including separated embedded derivatives) or financial assets acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term.

(r) financial assets (cont’d)

(a) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (cont’d)

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or net losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss do not include exchange differences, interest and dividend income. Exchange differences, interest and dividend income on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised separately in profit or loss as part of other losses or other income.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss could be presented as current or non-current. Financial assets that are held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current whereas financial assets that are not held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current or non-current based on the settlement date.

(b) loans and receivables

Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables.

Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.

Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current.

(c) held-to-maturity investments Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-

to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold the investment to maturity.

Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the held-to-maturity investments are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.

Held-to-maturity investments are classified as non-current assets, except for those having maturity within 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as current.

(r) financial assets (cont’d)

(d) available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale are financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified in any of the three preceding categories.

After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses from changes in fair value of the financial asset are recognised in other comprehensive income, except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments and interest calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is derecognised. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss. Dividends on an available-for-sale equity instrument are recognised in profit or loss when the Group and the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

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

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

A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.

Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Group and the Company commit to purchase or sell the asset.

(s) impairment of financial assets

The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired.

2.4 significant accounting policies (cont’d)

(s) impairment of financial assets (cont’d)

(a) trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost

To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, the Group and the Company consider factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis based on similar risk characteristics. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s and the Company’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between

the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.

If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(b) unquoted equity securities carried at cost

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

(s) impairment of financial assets (cont’d)

(c) available-for-sale financial assets

Significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, significant financial difficulties of the issuer or obligor, and the disappearance of an active trading market are considerations to determine whether there is objective evidence that investment securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are impaired.

If an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to profit or loss.

Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss in the subsequent periods. Increase in fair value, if any, subsequent to impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently reversed in profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss in profit or loss.

(t) financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability.

Financial liabilities, within the scope of FRS 139, are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities.

(a) financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities held for trading include derivatives entered into by the Group and the Company that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria. Derivative liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently stated at fair value, with any resultant gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or losses on derivatives include exchange differences.

The Group and the Company have not designated any financial liabilities as at fair value through profit or loss.

(t) financial liabilities (cont’d)

(b) other financial liabilities

The Group’s and the Company’s other financial liabilities include trade payables, other payables and loans and borrowings.

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings 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.

For other financial liabilities, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

(u) 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.

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

(v) segment reporting

For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments based on their products and services which are independently managed by the respective segment managers responsible for the performance of the respective segments under their charge. The segment managers report directly to the management of the Company who regularly review the segment results in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess the segment performance. Additional disclosures on each of these segments are shown in Note 32, including the factors used to identify the reportable segments and the measurement basis of segment information.

(w) contingencies

A contingent liability or asset is a possible obligation or asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future event(s) not wholly within the control of the Group.

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

(x) fair value measurement

The Group and the Company measure financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. On initial recognition, the fair value of a financial instrument is the transaction price, i.e. the fair value

of the consideration given or received. Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair values of financial instruments measured at fair value are measured in accordance with the valuation methodologies as set out in Note 36.

The Group and the Company use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. The appropriate quoted market price for an asset held or liability to be issued is usually the current bid price without any deduction for transaction costs that may be incurred on sale or other disposal and, for any asset to be acquired or liability held.

Investments in unquoted equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are

measured at cost, and assessed for impairment at each reporting date. The carrying values of current financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments and the disclosures of fair values are not made when the carrying amount of current financial instruments is a reasonable approximation of the fair values. The fair values of non-current financial instruments are disclosed separately unless there are significant differences at the end of the reporting date.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group and the Company determine whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting date.

2.5 significant accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(i) impairment of goodwill on consolidation

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and at other times when such indicators exist. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill and brands are allocated.

When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash

flows from the asset or cash-generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Further details of the carrying value, the key assumptions applied in the impairment assessment of goodwill and sensitivity analysis to changes in the assumptions are given in Note 15.

(ii) constructions contracts and property development

The Group recognises construction contracts and property development revenue and expenses in the profit or loss by using the stage of completion method. The stage of completion is determined by the proportion that construction contracts costs and property development costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total construction costs and property development costs.

Significant judgement is required in determining the stage of completion, the extent of the construction costs and property development costs incurred, the estimated total construction and property development revenue and costs, as well as the recoverability of the construction and property development costs. In making the judgement, the Group evaluates based on past experience and by relying on the work of specialists.

The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the Group arising from construction contracts and property development activities are disclosed in Note 21 and Note 14(b) respectively.

2.5 significant accounting judgments and estimates (cont’d)

Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d)

(iii) useful life of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of the property, plant and equipment to be within 3 to 50 years. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. The cost of plant and machinery is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these plant and machinery to be within 7 to 10 years. These are common life expectancies applied in the construction industry. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.

(iv) Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the losses and capital allowances can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Assumptions about generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. These depend on estimates of future production and sales volume, operating costs, capital expenditure, dividends and other capital management transactions. Judgement is also required about application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risks and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets recognised in the statements of financial position and the amount of unrecognised tax losses and unrecognised temporary differences.

(v) impairment of loans and receivables

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.

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. The carrying amount of the Group’s loans and receivable at the reporting date is disclosed in Note 22.

Domestic income tax is calculated at the Malaysian statutory tax rate of 25% (2013: 25%) of the estimated assessable profit for the year/period. The Malaysian corporate tax rate is expected to reduce from 25% to 24% as announced in the 2014 Budget.

Taxation for other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the respective jurisdictions. During the current financial year/period, the income tax rate applicable to the subsidiary in Australia is 30% (2013: 30%).

A reconciliation of income tax expense applicable to (loss)/profit before tax at the statutory income tax rate to income tax expense at the effective income tax rate of the Group and of the Company is as follows:

(a) impairment tests for goodwill (cont’d)

Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations:

The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five year period. The assumption used for value-in-use calculations are:

Growth rates Discount rates 2014 2013 2014 2014 % % % %

Property development 2 - 5 2 - 5 14 - 16 14 - 16Toll concession 3 - 6 3 - 6 14 - 16 14 - 16

Discount rates

Discount rates reflect the current market assessment of the risks specific to the business segment. The discount rate was estimated based on the average percentage of a weighted average cost of capital for the industry. This rate was further adjusted to reflect the market assessment of any risk specific to the cash-generating unit for which future estimates of cash-flows have not been adjusted.

With regard to the assessment of value-in-use of the segment units, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the unit to materially exceed its recoverable amount.

(b) toll concession

Details of the toll concession are disclosed in Note 2.4(d)(ii) of the financial statements. The rights of the Group to the toll concession have been pledged to a licensed bank for banking facilities granted to a subsidiary as disclosed in Note 25 of the financial statements.

(b) 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 operations 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.

On 6 March 2007, the Company undertook a renounceable rights issue of 44,168,540 new Warrants (“Warrants”) at an issue price of RM0.10 per Warrant on the basis of one (1) new Warrant for every two (2) existing ordinary shares of RM1 each held in the Company. The Warrants were subsequently listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad on 13 March 2007 and will expire in 2017.

(d) fair value adjustment reserve

Fair value adjustment reserve represents the cumulative fair value changes, net of tax, of available-for-sale financial assets until they are disposed or impaired.

(a) reporting format

The primary segment reporting format is determined to be business segments as the Group’s risks and rates of return are affected predominantly by differences in the products and services produced. No geographical analysis has been prepared as the Group’s business interests are predominantly located in Malaysia. The operating businesses are organised and managed separately according to the nature of the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and services and different markets.

(b) business segments

The Group comprises the following main business segments:

(i) Construction - piling works, foundation engineering and building construction;(ii) Property development - property holding and development; (iii) Toll concession - operation and maintenance of toll bridge and collection of toll revenue; and(iv) Others - management services.

The directors are of the opinion that all inter-segment transactions having been entered into in the normal course of business and have been transacted on normal commercial terms.

35. financial risK ManaGeMent obJectives anD Policies

The Group’s financial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the development of the Group’s businesses whilst managing its interest rate, foreign exchange, liquidity and credit risks. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. It is and has been throughout the year under review, the Group’s policy that no trading in derivative financial instruments shall be undertaken. (a) interest rate risk

Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. As the Group has no significant interest-bearing financial assets, the Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

The Group’s interest-bearing financial assets are mainly short term in nature and have been mostly placed in fixed deposits or occasionally, in short term commercial papers.

The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from interest-bearing borrowings. Borrowings at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining a mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings.

sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk

At the reporting date, it is estimated that a hundred basis points increase in interest rate, with all other variables held constant, would decrease the Group’s and the companies profit net of tax by approximately RM1,373,108 (2013: RM388,324) and RM203,332 (2013: RM236,413), respectively, arising mainly as a result of higher interest expense on net floating borrowing position. A decrease in interest rate would have had the equal but opposite effect on the aforesaid amount, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

(b) foreign currency risk The Group is exposed to currency risk in respect of its foreign investments in subsidiaries. These are, however,

not significant.

(c) liquidity risk

The Group manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure that refinancing, repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall liquidity management, the Group maintains sufficient levels of cash or cash convertible investments to meet its working capital requirements. In addition, the Group strives to maintain available banking facilities at a reasonable level to its overall debt position.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligation

due to shortage of funds. The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arise primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Group’s and the Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of stand-by credit facilities.

(d) credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counterparty default on its obligations. The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables. For other financial assets (including investment securities and cash and bank balances), the Group and the Company minimise credit risk by dealing with good credit rating counterparties.

The Group’s objective is to seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to increased credit risk exposure. The Group trades with good creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures and receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis.

Exposure to credit risk

At the reporting date, the Group’s and the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised in the statements of financial position.

Credit risk concentrations profile

The Group and Company have significant concentration of credit risk that may arise from exposure to a single debtor or to groups of debtors. However, the Board does not consider this to pose significant credit risk to the Group and the Company.

Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired Information regarding trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired is disclosed in

Note 22. Deposits with banks and other financial institutions that are neither past due nor impaired are placed with or entered into with reputable financial institutions or companies with high credit ratings and no history of default.

(a) Determination of fair value

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

(i) cash and bank deposits, other receivables and other payables The carrying amounts of these balances approximate their fair values due to the relatively short term

nature of these financial instruments.

36. fair value MeasureMents (cont’D)

(a) Determination of fair value (cont’d)

(ii) trade receivables and trade payables

The carrying amounts of trade receivables and trade payables approximate their fair values because they are subject to normal trade credit terms.

(iii) amounts due from/to related companies

The carrying values of amounts due from/to related companies in current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short term nature. No disclosure of fair value is made for non-current amounts due from/to related companies as it is not practicable to determine their fair values with sufficient reliability since these balances have no fixed terms of repayment.

(iv) investment securities

The fair values of quoted investment securities are determined by reference to their stock exchange quoted closing bid price at the end of the reporting period.

The unquoted investment securities do not have quoted market prices in an active market. In order to determine the fair value of such securities, the observable market prices in an open active market or dealer price quotations are used.

The unquoted available-for-sale financial assets are carried at cost as there are no other methods of reasonably estimating the fair values. It is not practicable to estimate the fair values with sufficient reliability without incurring excessive costs.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: (cont’d)

(v) bank borrowings and term loan

The carrying values of bank borrowings and term loan approximate their fair values as they bear interest rates which approximate the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of lending and borrowing arrangements.

(vi) financial guarantees

Fair value is determined based on the probability weighted discounted cash flow method. The probability has been estimated and assigned for the following key assumptions:

- The likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting within the guaranteed period;- The exposure on the portion that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed party’s

default; and- The estimated loss exposure if the party guaranteed were to default.

The following levels of hierarchy are used for determining and disclosing the fair value of those financial instruments and non-financial assets:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data

37. caPital ManaGeMent

The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital rations in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustment to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the year ended 30 June 2014 and period ended 30 June 2013.

The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Group’s policy is to keep the gearing ratio as minimal as possible. The Group includes within net debt, loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and bank balances. Capital includes equity attributable to the owners of the Company net of the fair value adjustment reserve.

Upon successful completion of the Proposals, the Non-Entitled Shareholders will hold 100% equity interest in the Company.

Details pertaining to the Proposals are set out in below:

(i) Proposed scr

The Proposed SCR shall involve the Company undertaking a selective share capital reduction and a corresponding capital repayment to all shareholders of the Company other than the Non-Entitled Shareholders (“entitled shareholders”) whose names appear in the Record of Depositors as at the close of business on an entitlement date to be determined at a later date (“entitlement Date”).

Under the Proposed SCR, all Entitled Shareholders will receive a total cash payment of RM35,777,820 which represents a cash repayment of RM0.80 for each of the Company’s shares held by the Entitled Shareholders on the Entitlement Date (“scr offer Price”).

As at the date of the financial statements, the Company’s issued and paid-up share capital stand at RM119,106,150 comprising 119,106,150 shares of RM1 each. The issued and paid-up share capital of the Company will be reduced by way of cancellation of the Company’s shares held by the Entitled Shareholders. Accordingly, 44,722,275 shares held by the Entitled Shareholders will be cancelled pursuant to the Proposed SCR and a total capital repayment of RM35,777,820 will be made to the Entitled Shareholders. This will result in the reduction of the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company from RM119,106,150 comprising 119,106,150 shares of RM1 each to RM74,383,875 comprising 74,383,875 shares.

(i) Proposed scr (cont’d)

The Non-Entitled Shareholders have proposed that the total cash capital repayment under the Proposed SCR be funded by the Company’s internally generated funds and/or via bank borrowings to be obtained by the Company.

Upon successful completion of the Proposed SCR, the Non-Entitled Shareholders do not intend to maintain the listing status of the Company on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“bursa securities”). The Non-Entitled Shareholders have requested the Company to make an application to Bursa Securities to de-list and withdraw the Company from the Official List of Bursa Securities upon successful completion of the Proposed SCR.

(ii) Proposed wac

In conjunction with the Non-Entitled Shareholders’ proposal to take the Company private via the Proposed SCR, the Non-Entitled Shareholders had also proposed for the Company to undertake the Proposed WAC. The Proposed WAC involves the acceleration of the maturity of all outstanding Warrants and the cancellation of the Warrants.

Under the Proposed WAC, all of the warrantholders (excluding the Non-Entitled Shareholders) whose names appear in the Record of Depositors as at the close of business on the Entitlement Date (“entitled warrantholders”) will receive a cash amount of 5 sen for each Warrant held on the Entitlement Date (“wac offer Price”).

As at the date of the financial statements, the Company had 44,168,540 Warrants in issue, of which a total of 21,461,710 Warrants, representing approximately 48.59% of the Warrants in issue, are held directly by the Non-Entitled Shareholders. Accordingly, 44,168,540 Warrants held by the Entitled Warrantholders and the Non-Entitled Shareholders will be cancelled pursuant to the Proposed WAC and a cash payment of RM1,135,342 will be made to the Entitled Warrantholders. The Non-Entitled Shareholders shall waive their entitlements to any payment to be made for their holding of the Warrants pursuant to the Proposed WAC.

The Non-Entitled Shareholders have proposed that the total cash consideration for the Proposed WAC be funded by the Company’s internally generated funds and/or via bank borrowings to be obtained by the Company.

To facilitate the implementation of the Proposed WAC, the warrant deed poll dated 9 January 2007 (“warrant Deed Poll”) is to be modified by way of a memorandum of a supplemental deed, to allow for the early expiration of the Warrants.

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Deed Poll, any modification to the Warrant Deed Poll is subject to the approval of the warrantholders at a general meeting to be convened.

The Warrants will be de-listed from the Official List of Bursa Securities concurrently with the de-listing of the Company’s shares upon the successful completion of the Proposed SCR and/or upon maturity of the Warrants pursuant to the Proposed WAC as approved by the Entitled Warrantholders.
