PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The Group recorded lower revenue of RM64.6 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2014, a 16% decrease as compared with RM77.4 million for the preceding financial year ended 31 December 2013. This was mainly attributable to lower contribution from the property division after the completion of two residential developments in the preceding financial year. The manufacturing and trading division’s revenue has however improved due to higher domestic demand arising from competitive pricing strategy.
Operating loss before tax of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 was lower at RM9.7 million as compared with a loss of RM17.5 million in the preceding financial year ended 31 December 2013 primarily due to fair value adjustment of the Group’s investment property and receivables of RM1.7 million and the absence of impairment of assets, fair value adjustment of receivables and additional project expenses incurred totaling RM6.3 million. Gross profit margin of the Group increased slightly from 11.3% for the financial year ended 31 December 2013 to 11.4% in the financial year ended 31 December 2014, mainly due to higher profit margin of the Group’s manufacturing activity.
As at 31 December 2014, the Group’s total assets was RM212.2 million and the equity attributable to owners of Company was RM147.0 million. Net Assets per share stood at RM0.70.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Manufacturing and trading
The Group’s manufacturing and trading activities were mainly carried out by SMI Wire Sdn Bhd (“SMIW”) which manufactures and trades in assorted steel wires including cold drawn, annealed, galvanized PVC coated steel wires and staple wires. The core product is galvanized steel wires and the main raw material is steel wire rods which are sourced both locally and from overseas.
Chairman’s Statement
For the financial year ended 31 December 2014, the manufacturing and trading division registered revenue of RM49.9 million and loss before tax of RM1.6 million as compared with RM48.1 million of revenue and loss before tax of RM2.0 million in the preceding financial year ended 31 December 2013. SMIW’s manufacturing revenue increased by 16% or RM7.0 million in 2014. However, this was offset by a decrease of RM5.2 million in trading revenue. Despite tough domestic competition, SMIW managed to register a 1.2% increase in gross profit margin through reduction of production costs.
In 2014, the local wire industry was grappling with excess capacity at a time when demand was slowing down. The oversupply situation which arose mainly from influx of cheap imports, mainly from China, and low domestic capacity utilization, has driven down selling prices of wire products. Despite the unfavourable market conditions, SMIW was able to offer competitive prices and maintain its strong customer base.
The outlook of the local wire industry is uncertain in 2015, but is expected to remain weak. The oversupply and price erosion which have plagued the wire industry are not expected to abate in the short term. Marginal profit margins and losses are expected due to the inability of manufacturers to gain from adjusted selling prices in order to maintain market share coupled with rising raw material and production costs.
Under such a tough operating environment, SMIW will place greater efforts to sustain its business by further reducing costs of production, increasing efficiency of production and balancing production capacity to suit market conditions. In order to maintain its market share and customers base, the manufacturing division would continue to improve products quality and optimize its products mix. SMIW will practise prudent working capital management by reducing stock holdings to the minimum and implement tight cost and credit control policies. SMIW will strive to maintain its plant and equipment in good working condition to retain its capability to scale-up quickly when the market conditions improve.
Property Development
The property development division recorded a lower revenue of RM13.5 million in the financial year ended 31 December 2014, a decrease of 49% from RM26.6 million in the preceding financial year 2013. The division posted a higher loss before tax of RM2.6 million in the financial year under review as compared to RM1.2 million in the financial year 2013. The weaker performance was mainly due to the completion of the Zenith Residences project and two phases of residential projects in Ipoh in 2013 and the delay in new project launches in 2014.
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the 44th Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Group and the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2014.

Zenith Corporate Park
This project comprises 80 units of 3 and 4 storey shop-offices (Phase 1), 2 blocks of 20-storey housing 26 units of retail lots, 358 units of condominiums - “Zenith Residences” (Phase 2) and 1 block of 13-storey corporate office suites (Phase 3). Zenith Corporate Park has a total gross development value (“GDV”) of approximately RM480 million. Phase 1 was completed in September 2010 and Phase 2 which was officially launched in October 2010, was completed in June 2013.
Meanwhile, due to weaker demand for corporate office suites, the plans for Phase 3 was revised. In its place is a mixed commercial development known as Pinnacle Kelana Jaya, a project which is expected to enhance value of the remaining land in Zenith Corporate Park. This project was effected vide a joint development agreement between Perantara Properties Sdn Bhd (“PPSB”) and Terra Mirus Kelana Sdn Bhd.
Pinnacle Kelana Jaya (“Pinnacle”)
Pinnacle is a commercial development comprising 9 units of shops and 228 units of loft offices with a GDV of approximately RM180 million. With the rising demand for multi-functional properties within Klang Valley, the loft offices which offer purchasers the flexibility of business and personal lifestyle concurrently, was launched in December 2014. Taking into consideration its prime location, distinctive design and exceptional connectivity, Pinnacle is well-received with 61% sales achieved to-date. Construction work has commenced and the project is expected to be completed in 2017.
Bandar Meru Raya (“BMR”)
BMR is a residential development undertaken by a subsidiary company, Anastoria Sdn Bhd (“Anastoria”) comprising 390 lots of terraced houses. This project is located in Bandar Meru Raya, Jelapang, Ipoh, a booming new township located between Jelapang and Chemor. Major federal government departments in Ipoh have been relocated and concentrated to this area. Anastoria’s BMR development started in late 2005 and is staggered over 8 phases. As at 31 December 2014, 7 phases comprising 321 units of double-storey terraced houses with a combined Gross Development Revenue of RM60.4 million have been completed and handed over to purchasers. Anastoria’s last phase in BMR, Phase M8, which comprises 64 units of double-storey terraced houses with a GDV of RM20.1 million, was launched in January 2014. This project is 100% sold and completion is scheduled in the second quarter of 2016.

Taman Saikat (“TS”)
TS is another residential development undertaken by Anastoria and Kok Development Sdn Bhd comprising 205 lots of terraced houses, 18 semi-detached lots and 1 bungalow lot with a total GDV of RM62.5 million. Located on a 10-acre site at the Gunung Rapat area, TS is within close proximity of the city centre. As at 31 December 2014, 7 phases comprising 171 units of double-storey terraced houses, 10 units of double-storey semi-detached houses and 1 double-storey bungalow with a combined GDV of RM 44.9 million has been developed. The 10 units of double-storey semi-detached houses and 1 unit of double-storey bungalow were launched in October 2014. The GDV of this project is RM6.2 million and the expected completion is the fourth quarter of 2016.
Taman Ipoh Jaya Timur 2 (“TIJ T2”)
TIJ T2, located at the convergence of two trunk roads (Jalan Wira Jaya and Lebuh Wira Jaya) is a new phase of commercial development undertaken by Anastoria. TIJ T2 comprising 16 units of double-storey shop-office, is scheduled for launch in the second quarter of 2015. The estimated GDV of this project is RM10.3 million.
Leisure and Entertainment
Due to low box office revenue as a result of competition from new multiplex cinemas in malls and shopping complexes, the Group ceased its cinema operation in Wuhan on 16 August 2013. The cinema premises were leased to a local party and converted into a restaurant cum budget hotel. Similarly, another cinema building in Shanghai together with its neighbouring premises had earlier been converted to commercial premises and rented out to a group of retailers since 2005.
The leisure and entertainment division recorded a loss before taxation of RM1.8 million in the financial year ended 31 December 2014, a 47% decrease as compared with a loss of RM3.4 million in 2013. The losses incurred by the division were mainly attributable to the depreciation and amortization costs of cinema premises. Following the division’s exit from the cinema business in the third quarter of 2013, operating costs were kept to the minimum level.
The Group will continue to enjoy a steady rental income and reduce losses from its operations in China in the current financial year.
CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS
The Group did not undertake any corporate exercise or issue any debt or equity securities in the financial year ended 31 December 2014.
MATERIAL LITIGATION
A wholly-owned subsidiary company of the Company, PPSB has since year 2010, been involved in a dispute with the Joint Management Body (“JMB”) of Kelana Square, Petaling Jaya (a commercial project undertaken and completed in year 2000 by PPSB) involving the car parks of the said project (“Car Parks”), which has a carrying value of RM2 million in the books of PPSB. Prior to the trial of the case, PPSB has successfully applied to have the case struck out at the Kuala Lumpur High Court (“the Court”). However, the Court of Appeal has reinstated the case resulting in a trial.
The Court has on 18 July 2014 decided in favour of the JMB to the effect that the Car Parks is a common property of Kelana Square. However, PPSB has since filed an appeal to the Court of Appeal and the Court has granted the Stay of Execution pending the hearing of appeal on 18 August 2015.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Employee Welfare
Employees are viewed as a source of strength to the Group. In this regard, the Group places great emphasis on the welfare of employees especially in providing them with a safe and conducive working environment. Employees are sent for regular trainings to ensure that they keep abreast with the latest developments in their respective fields. To encourage employees to stay in employment, “Long Service Awards” in the form of cash are awarded to employees in appreciation of their contribution and loyalty to the Group. In order to promote healthy lifestyle among employees, a social club was established and employees are encouraged to make use of the in-house gym facilities and to participate in regular activities organized by the social club, such as badminton, bowling and jungle trekking. Apart from an annual company trip, a short local trip teambuilding activities were also organized for staff is to foster stronger relationships upon returning to work.
Community Welfare
The Group supports activities for the betterment of the community in which it operates mainly in the form of contributions to approved welfare organizations and other charitable foundations.

Chairman’s Statementcont’d
Environment
Our management is aware of the impact of the Group’s business activities on the environment and strives to reduce the level of pollution. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is carried out by the property division prior to undertaking development activities which may negatively impact the environment. Our wire manufacturing produces acid and acidic wastage and these are treated in the wastage treatment plant and schedule wastages are sent periodically to Kualiti Alam to be safely disposed off.
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The Malaysian economy recorded a 6.0% GDP growth in 2014, higher than the 4.7% registered in 2013, the key driver of the positive growth being domestic consumption. Household spending continued to be supported by stable employment and sustained wage growth. The Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) which was maintained at 3.25% since July 2014, was supportive of economic activity.
Bank Negara Malaysia (‘BNM”) forecasts a moderate GDP growth of 4.5% to 5.5% in 2015 amid lackluster external demand, lower fuel prices, weaker domestic demand and rising inflationary pressure going forward. BNM expects inflation to range between 2% to 3% taking into account weakening consumer spending. However, a slight increase in inflation is expected from the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) in April 2015. The OPR rate of 3.25% is expected to be maintained in 2015 as risks to growth increase.
PROPERTY SECTOR
The property sector grew marginally by 0.8% in market volume and 7.0% in market value in 2014, slight rebounds from contractions registered in 2013. Growth in prices of residential properties has softened to 4.6% in the third quarter of 2014 (fourth quarter 2013: 9.6%). The Government’s cooling measures such as imposition of higher Real Property Gains Tax to curb excessive speculation has resulted in moderation of market activities and prices in the last two years.
The property market outlook in 2015 is expected to remain lackluster i.e. broadly similar to 2014 due to the weaker economic outlook, stringent mortgage approval and the souring consumer sentiment post GST which in itself will reduce purchasers’ appetite for debt accumulation in 2015. The sales take-up rates are expected to decline but property prices are not expected to soften due to the implementation of GST and the inflationary effect on land and development costs.
With the reduced speculation activity, developers are expected to cut back or postpone launches of high value properties. Real demand is expected mainly from owner occupier (purchaser’s own use) and tenants. As affordability continues to be the major concern for homebuyers, building affordable homes priced below RM500,000 will be the way forward for developers. While there are increased opportunities within the affordable or mass market segment, there are risks of margin erosion due to raw material price hikes as a result of the weak currency and slowdown in demand for mid or high end segment due to tighter lending policies by banks.
With the lack of suitable and available land for development, land cost will continue to rise as demand continues to outstrip supply. To cater to the broader base of house buyers, the Group as a property developer will be looking to expanding its presence in less prime locations, offer properties at reasonable prices and invest in infrastructure to improve connectivity.
In the current financial year 2015, the Group will continue with the Pinnacle project in Kelana Jaya and projects in Ipoh. The Group will continue to seek out land suitable for immediate development and to build up its land bank either through outright purchase or joint venture with landowners. The Group will move forward by reorganizing its core business activities to remain resilient in these uncertain times and is looking at new avenues to expand its revenue streams through new products and markets.
DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors does not recommend the payment of any dividend for the financial year ended 31 December 2014.
APPRECIATION
I would like to take this opportunity to extend our appreciation to our valued customers, financiers, suppliers, business associates and shareholders for their support of the Group. I would also like to thank all the relevant Government agencies for their assistance and guidance.
To my fellow board members who have supported me with their valuable guidance and wise counsel, I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude. To the management team and all our employees, I wish to thank them for their unwavering commitment and their continued dedication and contributions throughout the financial year.

RePoRt on the FinanCial stateMents
We have audited the financial statements of South Malaysia Industries Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2014 of the Group and of the Company, and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 33 to 102.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that 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 about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as of 31 December 2014 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the financial 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 followings:
(a) In our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and its subsidiary companies of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
(b) We have considered the accounts and the auditors’ report of all the subsidiary companies of which we have not acted as auditors, which are indicated in Note 7.
(c) We are satisfied that the accounts of the subsidiary companies that have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the financial statements of the Group and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required by us for those purposes.
(d) The audit reports on the financial statements of the subsidiary companies did not contain any qualification or any adverse comment made under Section 174 (3) of the Act.

FRS 9 Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 issued by IASB in July 2014)
1 January 2018
The Group and the Company intend to adopt the above FRSs when they become effective.
The initial application of the abovementioned FRSs are not expected to have any significant impacts on the financial statements of the Group and the Company except as mentioned below:
FRS 9 Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 issued by IASB in July 2014)
FRS 9 (IFRS 9 issued by IASB in July 2014) replaces earlier versions of FRS 9 and introduces a package of improvements which includes a classification and measurement model, a single forward looking ‘expected loss’ impairment model and a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting. FRS 9 when effective will replace FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

2.1 statement of Compliance (cont’d)
FRS 9 Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 issued by IASB in July 2014) (cont’d)
FRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income not reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. There is now a new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in FRS 139. For financial liabilities there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. FRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the ‘hedged ratio’ to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes. Contemporaneous documentation is still required but is different to that currently prepared under FRS 139.
The adoption of MFRS 9 will result in a change in accounting policy. The Group is currently examining the financial impact of adopting MFRS 9.
New Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS Framework”) issued but not yet effective
On 19 November 2011, the 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 and IC Interpretation 15 Agreements for Construction of Real Estate, including its parent, significant investor and venturer (hereinafter called “Transitioning Entities”).
Transitioning Entities will be allowed to defer adoption of the new MFRS Framework and continue to use the existing FRS Framework. The adoption of the MFRS Framework by Transitioning Entities will be mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017.
The Group and the Company fall within the scope definition of Transitioning Entities and accordingly, will be required to prepare financial statements using the MFRS Framework in their first MFRS financial statements for the financial year ending 31 December 2017. In presenting their first MFRS financial statements, the Group and the Company will be required to restate the comparative financial statements to amounts reflecting the application of the MFRS Framework. The majority of the adjustments required on transition will be made, retrospectively, against opening retained earnings.
The Group and the Company are currently assessing the implications and financial impact of transition
to the MFRS Framework. Accordingly, the consolidated and separate financial performance and financial position as disclosed in these financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 could be different if prepared under the MFRS Framework.
2.2 Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is the Group’s and the Company’s functional currency and all values has been rounded to the nearest RM except when otherwise stated.
2.3 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
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.

2.3 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (cont’d)
Judgments
There are no significant areas of critical judgement in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are set out below.
(i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment (Note 3)
The Group regularly review the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment based on factors such as business plan and strategies, expected level of usage and future technological developments. Future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment would increase the recorded depreciation and decrease the value of property, plant and equipment.
(ii) Estimation of fair value of properties (Note 5)
In the absence of current prices in an active market for similar properties, the Group considers information from a variety of sources, including:
(a) current prices in an active market for properties of a different nature, condition or location, adjusted to reflect those differences; or
(b) recent prices of similar properties based on less active market, with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions since the date of the transactions that occurred at those prices.
(iii) Impairment of investment in subsidiary companies
The Company has recognised impairment loss in respect of its investments in subsidiary companies. The Company carried out the impairment test based on the estimation of the higher of the value-in-use or the fair value less cost to sell of the cash-generating units to which the investments in subsidiary companies belong to. Estimating the recoverable amount requires the Company to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating units and also to determine a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.
The carrying amount at the reporting date for investments in subsidiary companies is disclosed in Note 7.
(iv) Impairment of investment in associate company
The Company has recognised impairment loss in respect of its investments in associate company. The Company carried out the impairment test based on the estimation of the higher of the value-in-use or the fair value less cost to sell of the cash-generating units to which the investments in associate company belong to. Estimating the recoverable amount requires the Company to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating units and also to determine a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.
The carrying amount at the reporting date for investments in subsidiary companies is disclosed in Note 8.

2.3 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (cont’d)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d)
(v) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets (Note 9)
The Group reviews its available-for-sale financial assets at each reporting date to assess whether they are impaired. The Group also records impairment changes on available-for-sale equity investments when there has been a significant decline in the fair value below their costs. In making this judgement, the Group evaluates, among other factors, historical share price movements and the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost.
(vi) Impairment of goodwill on consolidation
The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value-in-use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value-in-use amount requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The impairment assessment of goodwill is disclosed in Note 10.
(vii) Impairment of non-financial assets
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. To determine the recoverable amount, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. In the process of measuring expected future cash flows management makes assumptions about future operating results. The actual results may vary, and may cause significant adjustments to the Group’s assets within the next reporting period.
In most cases, determining the applicable discount rate involves estimating the appropriate adjustment to market risk and the appropriate adjustment to asset-specific risk factors.
(viii) Impairment of loans and receivables
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a receivable 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 receivable 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 amounts at the reporting date for loans and receivables are disclosed in Notes 11.
(ix) Property development costs (Note 12)
The Group recognises property development revenue and expenses in profit or loss by using the stage of completion method. 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. Significant judgement is required in determining the stage of completion, the extent of the property development costs incurred, the estimated total property development revenue and costs, as well as the recoverability of the development projects. In making the judgement, the Group evaluates based on past experience and by relying on the work of specialists.

2.3 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (cont’d)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d)
(x) Income taxes
Judgment is involved in determining the provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.
The Group recognises liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Details of income tax expense are disclosed in Note 25.
The Group and the Company apply the significant accounting policies set out below, consistently throughout all periods presented in the financial statements unless otherwise stated.
2.4 basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiary companies
Subsidiary companies are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiary companies are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed off in profit or loss as incurred.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured at its acquisition date fair value and the resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement either in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are eliminated only if there is no indication of impairment. Where necessary, accounting policies of subsidiary companies have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

2.4 basis of consolidation (cont’d)
(i) Subsidiary companies (cont’d)
In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiary companies are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts are recognised in profit or loss. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. See accounting policy Note 2.16 to the financial statements on impairment of non-financial assets.
(ii) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiary companies without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions i.e. transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary company is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
(iii) Disposal of subsidiary companies
If the Group loses control of a subsidiary company, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary company, including any goodwill, and non-controlling interests are derecognised at their carrying value on the date that control is lost. Any remaining investment in the entity is recognised at fair value. The difference between the fair value of consideration received and the amounts derecognised and the remaining fair value of the investment is recognised as a gain or loss on disposal in profit or loss. Any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
(iv) Goodwill on consolidation
The excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured at fair value is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary company acquired (ie. a bargain purchase), the gain is recognised in profit or loss.
Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but instead, it is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequent when there is objective evidence that the carrying value may be impaired. See accounting policy Note 2.16 to the financial statements on impairment of non-financial assets.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. Gains or losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
2.5 investments in associates
An associate is an entity over 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.

2.5 investments in associates (cont’d)
On acquisition of an investment in an associate, 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 associate’s profit or loss for the period in which the investment is acquired.
An associate is equity accounted for from the date on which the investee becomes an associate. Under the equity method, on initial recognition the investment in an associate is recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the Group’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate after the date of acquisition. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Profits or losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its associate are recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the assets transferred.
The financial statements of the associates 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 FRS 139 to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss with respect to its net investment in the associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment in accordance with FRS 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.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.
In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in associates are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts are recognised in profit or loss. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. See accounting policy Note 2.16 to the financial statements on impairment of non-financial assets.
2.6 Foreign currency
(i) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded in the functional currency of the respective Group entities using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at 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 retranslated.

2.6 Foreign currency (cont’d)
(i) Foreign currency transactions and balances (cont’d)
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the reporting date are included in profit or loss except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operation. These 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 Company’s net investment in foreign operation 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 reporting period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised in other comprehensive income.
(ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations denominated in functional currencies other than RM are translated to RM at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and income and expenses, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign operations on or after 1 January 2006 are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and are recorded in the functional currency of the foreign operations and translated at the closing rate at the reporting date.
Goodwill and fair value adjustment which arose on the acquisition of foreign subsidiaries before 1 January 2006 are deemed to be assets and liabilities of the parent company and are recorded in RM at the rates prevailing at the date of acquisition.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve (“FCTR”) in equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary company, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed off such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the FCTR related that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary company that includes a foreign operation, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
2.7 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The policy of recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 2.16.

2.7 Property, plant and equipment (cont’d)
(i) Recognition and measurement
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, cost of replacing component parts of the assets, and the present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of the assets after their use. The cost of self-constructed assets also includes the cost of materials and direct labour. For qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
The cost of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on fair value at acquisition date. The fair value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The fair value of other items of plant and equipment is based on the quoted market prices for similar items.
When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Property, plant and equipment are derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in profit or loss. On disposal of a revalued asset, the amounts in revaluation reserve relating to those assets are transferred to retained earnings.
(ii) Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Freehold land is not depreciated. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on the 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:
Buildings on the freehold land 2%Leasehold land and buildings Over the remaining lease periodOffice furniture and equipment 8% - 20%Renovations 15% - 50%Plant and machinery 6% - 50%Computer hardware and software 10% - 25%Tools and implements 10% - 15%Motor vehicles 10% - 20%
The depreciable amount is determined after deducting the residual value.
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial period 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 property, plant and equipment.

2.8 leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date, whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or asset or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly specific in an arrangement.
(i) Finance lease
Leases in terms of which the Group or the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance lease. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the profit or loss. Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed.
Leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease is classified as a property, plant and equipment.
(ii) Operating lease
Leases, where the Group or the Company does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases and, except for property interest held under operating lease, the leased assets are not recognised on the statement of financial position. Property interest held under an operating lease, which is held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, is classified as investment property.
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Leasehold land which in substance is an operating lease is classified as prepaid lease payments.
2.9 investment properties
Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. The fair values are determined by external professional valuers with sufficient experience with respect to both the location and the nature of the investment property and supported by market evidence.
Investment properties are derecognised when either they are disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss on the retirement or disposal of an investment property is recognised in the profit or loss in the year of retirement or disposal.
When an item of property, plant and equipment is transferred to investment property following a change in its use, any difference arising at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the item immediately prior to transfer and its fair value is recognised directly in equity as a revaluation of property, plant and equipment. However, if a fair value gain reverses a previous impairment loss, the gain is recognised in profit or loss. Upon disposal of an investment property, any surplus previously recorded in equity is transferred to retained earnings, the transfer is not made through profit or loss.

2.9 investment properties (cont’d)
When an item of inventory or property development is transferred to investment property following a change in its use, any difference between the fair value of the property at the date of transfer and its carrying amount immediately prior to the transfer is recognised in profit or loss.
When the use of an investment property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment or inventories, its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.
2.10 land and property development costs
(i) Land held for property development
Land held for property development consists of land held for future development activities where no significant development has been undertaken or where development activities are not expected to be completed within normal operating cycle. Such land is classified as non-current assets and is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The policy of recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 2.16.
Land held for property development is reclassified as current asset when the development activities have commenced and where it can be demonstrated that the development activities can be completed within the normal operating cycle.
Cost associated with the acquisition of land includes the purchase price of the land, professional fees, stamp duties, commissions, conversion fees and other relevant levies.
(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.
Property development costs shall be classified as non-current asset where no development activities have been carried out or where development activities are not expected to be completed within the normal operating cycle.
Property development costs shall be reclassified to current asset when the development activities have commenced and expected to be completed within the normal operating cycle.
When the financial outcome of development activity can be reliably estimated, property development revenue and expenses are recognised in profit or loss by using the stage of completion. 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.
When the financial outcome of a development activity cannot be reliably 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 units sold are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Property development cost not recognised as an expense is recognised as an asset, which is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Any expected loss on a development project including costs to be incurred over the defects liability period shall be recognised as an expense immediately.
When the revenue recognised in profit or loss exceeds billings to purchaser, the balance is shown as accrued billings under current assets. When the billings to purchaser exceed the revenue recognised in profit or loss, the balance is shown as progress billings under current liabilities.

2.11 Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised on 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.
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which are recognised at fair value. Transaction costs for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The Group and the Company classify their financial assets depending on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired at initial recognition, into the following categories:
(i) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those maturing later than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets.
After initial recognition, financial assets categorised as loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
(ii) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of the assets within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
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 from an available-for-sale equity instrument are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s and the Company’s right to receive payment is established.
Investment in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less impairment loss.
Regular way purchase or sale of financial assets
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.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset has expired or has been transferred and the Group and the Company have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of consideration received and any cumulative gains or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

2.12 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definition of financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities are recognised on the statements of financial position when, and only when the Group and the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
The Group and the Company classify their financial liabilities at initial recognition, into the following category:
(i) Other financial liabilities measured at amortised cost
The Group’s and the Company’s other financial liabilities comprise trade and 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.
Gains and losses on financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.
2.13 Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statements of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
2.14 inventories
Raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods and completed properties are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost of raw material is determined on a first-in-first out basis. Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress consists of direct material, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads (based on normal operating capacity).
The cost of completed properties includes costs of land and related development cost or its purchase costs and incidental cost of acquisition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.15 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand deposits, bank overdraft and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts.

2.16 impairment of assets
(i) Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of non-financial assets (except for inventories, amount due from contract customers, deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, investment property measured at fair value and non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale) are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each period at the same time.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash-generating units. Subject to operating segment ceiling test, for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value-in-use and its fair value less costs of disposal. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which such impairment loss is recognised directly against any revaluation surplus for the asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same asset. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised for asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
(ii) Financial assets
All financial assets, other than those categorised as fair value through profit or loss, investments in subsidiary companies, associates and joint ventures, are assessed at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset.

2.16 impairment of assets (cont’d)
(ii) Financial assets (cont’d)
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 considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the receivable 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 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 defaults on receivables.
If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Receivables together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery.
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 in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed, to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets
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. A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of investments in equity instruments below its cost is also an objective evidence of impairment.
If an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, the amount of impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously. When a decline of fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised in other comprehensive income, the cumulative loss is reclassified 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 of equity instrument, 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.
2.17 share capital
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments. Ordinary shares are recorded at the nominal value of shares issued. Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Dividends on ordinary shares are accounted for in equity as appropriation of retained earnings and recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared.

2.18 Derivatives
Derivatives relate to fair value hedges on financial assets held through profit or loss. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair values on the date the contract is entered into and is subsequently carried at fair value.
The fair value hedges are not designated as effective hedging investments, therefore changes in fair value are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
2.19 Employee benefits
(i) Short term employee 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 and of the Company. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick and medical leave are recognised when the absences occur.
The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is measured as additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the end of the reporting period.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the state pension scheme, the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”). Some of the Group’s foreign subsidiary companies also make contributions to their respective countries’ statutory pension schemes. Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss as incurred. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment obligations.
2.20 Revenue recognition
(i) Sales of tickets
Sales of tickets arising from operating of multiplex cinemas and Dynamic Motion Simulator (“DMS”) rides are recognised when tickets are used or expired.
(ii) Sales of development properties
Sales of development properties are recognised on the percentage of completion method determined on the proportion of development cost incurred to date against total estimated cost where the outcome of the projects can be reliably estimated. All anticipated losses are provided for in full.
(iii) Sales of goods
Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discount and volume rebates. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the transfer of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods.
(iv) Carpark income
Carpark income is recognised as and when the services are rendered.

(v) Management fee
Management fee is recognised on an accrual basis when these services are performed.
(vi) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the rights to receive payment is established.
(vii) Rental Income
Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The aggregate costs of incentives provided to lessees are recognised as a reduction of rental income over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
(viii) Interest Income
Interest income is recognised on accruals basis using the effective interest method.
2.21 borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of the assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Group and the Company incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or completed.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
2.22 Income taxes
Tax expense in profit or loss comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using
tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method for all temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction which is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

2. basis oF PRePaRation anD siGniFiCant aCCountinG PoliCies (Cont’D)
2.22 Income taxes (cont’d)
The measurement of deferred tax is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, at the end of the reporting period, except for investment properties carried at fair value model. For investment properties measured using fair value model, the amount of deferred tax recognised is measured using the tax rates that would apply on sale of those assets at their carrying amounts at the reporting date unless the property is depreciable and is held with the objective to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the property over time, rather than through sale. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Unutilised reinvestment allowance and investment tax allowance, being tax incentives that is not a tax
base of an asset, is recognised as a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that the future taxable profits will be available against the unutilised tax incentive can be utilised.
2.23 segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segment makes strategic decisions based on operating segments’ results. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.
2.24 Contingencies
Where it is not probable that an inflow or an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the asset or the obligation is disclosed as a contingent asset or contingent liability, unless the probability of inflow or outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent assets or contingent liabilities unless the probability of inflow or outflow of economic benefits is remote.

The Group, via its Hong Kong subsidiary company, has an investment in unquoted securities outside Malaysia, representing 14.7% equity interest in a company, whose activities among others include a mixed development project in Queenstown, New Zealand. Since the end of the financial year 2002, the progress of the development activities of this project has been slow mainly due to a number of planning changes.
During the financial year, the Directors have reviewed the information received from the investee company concerned, including the latest financial information and updated information on property valuation by the investee company in the previous year and the latest progress of the development activities and are of the opinion that no further impairment is required as at 31 December 2014.

31. MateRial litiGation
A wholly-owned subsidiary company of the Company, Perantara Properties Sdn Bhd (“PPSB”), has, since year 2010, been involved in a dispute with the Joint Management Body (“JMB”) of Kelana Square, Petaling Jaya (a commercial project undertaken and completed in year 2000 by PPSB) involving the car parks of the said project (“Car Parks”), which has a carrying value of RM2 million in the books of PPSB. Prior to the trial of the case, PPSB has successfully applied to have the case struck out at the Kuala Lumpur High Court (“the Court”). However, the Court of Appeal has reinstated the case resulting in the trial of the actions.
The Court has on 18 July 2014 decided in favour of the JMB that the Car Parks is a common property of Kelana Square. However, PPSB has since filed an appeal to the Court of Appeal and the Court has granted the Stay of Execution pending the hearing of appeal on 18 August 2015.

(a) Classification of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured on an ongoing basis either at fair value or at amortised cost. The principal accounting policies in Note 2 describe how the classes of financial instruments are measured and how income and expense, including fair value gains and losses, are recognised. The following table analyses the financial assets and liabilities in the statements of financial position by the class of financial instruments to which they are assigned, and therefore by the measurement basis:

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies The Group’s and the Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including
foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, and liquidity and cash flows risk. The Group’s and the Company’ overall financial risk management objectives are to ensure that there is sufficient level of liquidity and its ability to finance the Group’s and the Company’s operations, with a view of minimising potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group and of the Company and to create value for the shareholders.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont’d)
(i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from its receivables from customers and deposits with banks and financial institutions. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from loans and advances to subsidiary companies and financial guarantees given to banks for credit facilities granted to subsidiary companies.
Fixed deposits with licensed banks, cash held under Housing Development Account and cash at banks are placed with credit worthy financial institutions. The Group and the Company have adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. Receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis via Company’s management reporting procedures and action will be taken for long outstanding debts.
The carrying amounts of the financial assets recorded in the statements of financial position at the end of the reporting period represents the Group’s and the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. None of the financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk.
Credit risk concentration profile
At 31 December 2014, the Group had approximately 34 (2013: 37) customers that owed the Group more than RM100,000 each and accounted for approximately 42% (2013: 40%) of trade receivables owing.
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Information regarding trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired is disclosed in Note 11. Deposits with bank and financial institution that are neither past due nor impaired are placed with or entered into with licensed bank and licensed financial institutions, with no history of default.
(ii) Liquidity risk
The Group’s and the Company’s funding requirements and liquidity risk are managed with the objective of meeting business obligations on a timely basis. The Group and the Company monitor their cash flows and ensure that sufficient funding is in place to meet the obligations as and when they fall due.
The following table analyses the remaining contractual maturity for non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up using the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group and the Company can be required to pay.

(iii) Market risks
Foreign currency exchange risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily the Chinese Renminbi (RMB), United States Dollar (USD), Singapore Dollar (SGD), Australian Dollar (AUD) and Hong Kong Dollar (HKD).
The Group has not entered into any derivative instruments for hedging or trading purposes. Where possible, the Group will apply natural hedging by selling and purchasing in the same currency. However, the exposure to foreign currency risk is monitored from time to time by management.

A 10% weakening of Ringgit Malaysia against the above foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain unchanged.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s and the Company’s fixed rate deposits placed with licensed banks and borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes in interest rates. The Group’s and the Company’s variable rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to changes in interest rates.
The Group manages the interest rate risk of its deposits with licensed financial institutions by placing them at the most competitive interest rates obtainable, which yield better returns than cash at bank.
The Group’s policy is to obtain the financing with the most favourable interest rates in the market. The Group constantly monitors its interest rate risk and does not utilise interest swap contracts or other derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. At the end of the reporting period, there were no such arrangements, interest rate swap contracts or other derivative instruments outstanding.

GroupFinancial liabilitiesLoans and borrowings 25,181,056 28,523,683
CompanyFinancial liabilitiesLoans and borrowings 15,992,304 17,579,146
The Group and the Company are exposed to interest rate risk arising from its short and long term debts obligations.
Interest rate risk sensitivity
An increase in market interest rates by 1% on financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group and of the Company which have variable interest rates at the end of the reporting period would have decreased the profit before tax by RM252,000 (2013: RM285,000) and RM160,000 (2013: RM176,000) respectively. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain unchanged.
A decrease in market interest rates by 1% on financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group and of the Company which have variable interest rates at the end of the reporting period would have had the equal but opposite effect on the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain unchanged.
Equity Price risk
Market price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market price (other than interest or exchange rates).
The Group is exposed to equity price risk arising from its investment in quoted instruments. These quoted instruments are listed on Bursa Malaysia and are classified as available-for-sale financial assets.
Management of the Group monitors investments in quoted instruments on a portfolio basis. Material investments within the portfolio are managed on an individual basis and all buy and sell decisions are approved by the Board of Directors of the Group.
At the end of the reporting period, if the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI had been 5% higher/lower, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s reserve would have been RM582,000 (2013: RM435,000) higher/lower, as a result of an increase/decrease in the fair value of these investments.
The Group is also exposed to commodity price risk arising from transaction on the world commodity markets of iron ore and iron scrap. The raw materials of the Group’s product are mainly derived from iron ore and iron scrap.

(iv) Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities
Analysis of financial instruments
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
Level 1 - fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - fair value measurements are those derived from inputs for the financial assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Policy on transfer between levels
The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
There were no transfers between levels during current and previous financial years.
Methodologies of fair values
The methodologies used in arriving at the fair values of the principal financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group and of the Company are as follows:
• Receivables and payables, cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings
The carrying amounts are considered to approximate their fair value due to the relatively short term nature of these financial instruments and insignificant impact of discounting.
• Other financial assets
Marketable securities quoted in an active market are carried at market value. Securities that are not quoted in an active market, for which there is no observable market data and fair value cannot be reliably measured, are carried at acquisition cost.
• Long-term borrowings
Fair value which is determined for disclosure purpose, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the end of the reporting period.
• Contingent liabilities
It is not practical to estimate the fair value of contingent liabilities as disclosed in Note 29 due to the uncertainties of timing, costs and eventual outcome.

33. CaPital ManaGeMent
The Group and the Company’s management manage capital to ensure that the Group and the Company is able to continue as a going concern and maintains an optimal capital structure so as to maximise shareholders value. The management reviews the capital structure by considering the cost of capital and the risks associated with the capital.
The capital of the Group and of the Company consists of issued capital, cash and cash equivalents and bank borrowings.
The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio. The Group’s policy is to maintain a prudent level of gearing ratio that complies with debt covenants. The Group’s and the Company’s gearing ratio are measured using total external borrowings over shareholders’ equity. As at reporting date, the Group’s and the Company’s gearing ratio are 0.18 times and 0.11 times (2013: 0.19 times and 0.13 times) respectively.
There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the financial year.
The Group and the subsidiary companies are not subject to any external imposed capital requirements.

Explanatory Notes on Special Business
c) item 6 of the agenda
Resolution 8 – authority to issue shares pursuant to Section 132d of the companies act 1965
The proposed Resolution No.8, if passed, is a renewal of General Mandate to empower the Directors to issue and allot shares up to an aggregate amount not exceeding 10% of the issued share capital of the Company for the time being, for the purpose as the Directors consider would be in the interests of the Company. This authority unless revoked or varied at a general meeting will expire at the next Annual General Meeting. With this authority, the Company will be able to raise capital from the equity market in a shorter period of time and the cost to be incurred will also be lower as the need to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting will be dispensed with.
As at the date of this Notice, no new shares in the Company were issued pursuant to the authority granted to the Directors at the last Annual General Meeting held on 25 June 2014 and which will lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
The General Mandate will provide flexibility to the Company for any possible fund raising activities including but not limited to further placing of shares, for the purpose of funding future investment project(s) working capital and/or acquisition.
d) item 7 of the agenda
Resolutions 9, 10 and 11 – Continuing in Office as Independent Non-Executive Directors
The Ordinary Resolutions proposed under item 7 (Resolutions 9, 10 & 11) of the Agenda relate to the approval by shareholders for the named directors to continue in office as Independent Non-Executive Directors. The Board has assessed the independence of each of the directors who has served as Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company for a cumulative term of more than nine (9) years. The Board is satisfied that each of these directors has met the Independence guidelines as set out in Chapter 1 of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Main Market Listing Requirements. The length of their service does not interfere with their ability and exercise of independent judgement as Independent Directors. Therefore, the Board has recommended that the approval of the shareholders be sought for Dato’ Dr Abdullah Bin Sepien, Datuk Seri Ismail Bin Yusof and Datin Paduka Hajjah Rakibah Binti Haji Abd Manap to continue to act as Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company.
Details of Directors seeking re-election or re-appointment as mentioned in the Notice of Annual General Meeting are set out in their respective profiles which appears in the Directors’ Profile on pages 9 to 11 of this Annual Report. Directors’ interests in the securities of the Company are disclosed on page 105 of the Annual Report.
