NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (continued)

Explanatory Note AThis Agenda item is meant for discussion only as the provision of Section 169(1) of the Companies Act, 1965 does not require a formal approval by the shareholders and hence, is not put forward for voting.

Explanatory Notes on Special Business:1. Resolutions 8, 9 & 10 The proposed Resolutions 8, 9 & 10, if passed, will enable the named Driectors to continue to hold office until the next Annual General

Meeting of the Company as Independent Directors notwithstanding that they have served a cumulative term of more than nine years. In line with the recommendation 3.2 of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012, the Board on the recommendation of

the Nominating Committee, after the annual assessment of the Directors’ independence have recommended that Dato’ Richard Ong Guan Seng, Mr. Leong Keng Yuen and Tuan Haji Mohd Jali @ Mohd Jalil Bin Sany who have served as Directors of the Company for a cumulative term of more than nine years, be re-appointed as Independent Directors of the Company based on the following justifications:

(i) they have fulfilled the criteria under the definition of Independent Director as stated in the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and therefore would be able to function as a check and balance and bring an element of objectivity to the Board.

(ii) they each remain independent and actively participate in board discussions and provide an independent and objective voice on the Board.

(iii) they act in the best interests of all shareholders and their re-appointment as Independent Directors will provide a check and balance to operational management.

2. Resolution 11 The proposed Resolution 11, if passed, will empower the Directors to issue shares in the Company up to an amount not exceeding in

total 10% of the issued share capital of the Company for the time being for such purposes as the Directors consider would be in the interests of the Company. This authority, unless revoked or varied by the Company in a general meeting, will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company.

The general mandate sought for issue of shares is a renewal of the general mandate sought in the preceding year. As at the date of Notice, no new shares in the Company were issued pursuant to the mandate granted to the Directors at the Forty-fourth AGM held on 23rd November 2013 and hence no proceeds were raised therefrom. The general mandate will provide flexibility to the Company for any possible fund raising activities, including but not limited to further placing of shares for purpose of funding future investment project(s), working capital and/or acquisitions.

STATEMENT ACCOMPANYING NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The details of Directors standing for re-election and re-appointment are set out in the Profile of Directors and the details of their interests in the securities of the Company are disclosed in this Annual Report.

Annual Report 2014 9

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present you the Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Group and of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2014.

One of the key responsibilities of a board of directors is to set a strategy. As I will outline in this statement, and as we strive to demonstrate throughout the Annual Report, your Board has chosen a clear strategic route to follow. This is rooted in our heritage to deliver high quality products and sets out our ambition to continuously improve.

As your Directors review our strategy and carry out our other responsibilities, it is my role as Chairman to lead the Board effectively. Good governance is at the core of that, and with good governance comes transparent reporting.

The Group manufactures formaldehyde based adhesives and resins, premium quality ethanol and organically fermented vinegar. Our products are used by customers in a variety of industries. Formaldehyde based adhesives and resins are used in the manufacture of plywood, particle boards and medium density fibre boards. Ethanol is used by the pharmaceutical, cosmetics as well as the food and beverage industries. In addition, it is also used as a solvent for industrial applications. In addition to manufacturing, the Group also has a property development arm.

While not immune to the challenging economic conditions which are evident across the markets in which we operate, our performance remained robust.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The Group registered a turnover of RM145.34 million in 2014 compared to RM124.56 million in 2013, an increase of RM20.78 million or 16.7%. Profit before tax was also higher at RM10.75 million in 2014 compared to RM10.07 million in 2013, an increase of RM0.68 million or 6.7%.

The lower incremental profit before tax of RM10.75 million on revenue of RM145.34 million in 2014 compared to 2013 is primarily due to capital gains of RM4.19 million recognised in the 2013 profit before tax.

Group EBITDA in 2014 increased to RM16.26 million from RM15.77 million in 2013, an increase of RM0.49 million or by 3.1%.

Group Earnings Per Share dropped slightly, that is from 4.2 sen (per ordinary share of 50 sen) in 2013 to 4.0 sen (per ordinary share of 50 sen) this year.

The Company registered weaker revenue, a decrease of RM0.07 million or 0.7%. Revenue fell to RM9.20 million in 2014 from RM9.27 million in 2013. Profit before tax of RM10.27 million in 2014 was significantly lower by RM4.2 million compared to 2013, this is primarily due to capital gains of RM4.19 million recognised in 2013.

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

The manufacturing segment registered improved revenue, an increase of RM21.68 million or 18.2%. Revenue grew to RM140.54 million in 2014 from RM118.86 million in 2013. Profit before tax increased by RM5.40 million. The significant improvement was contributed mainly by the substantial increase in sales of the ethanol and resins divisions, by 37.4% and 9.7% respectively.

The trading segment registered weaker revenue, a decrease of RM0.16 million or 5.8%. Revenue fell to RM2.59 million in 2014 from RM2.75 million in 2013. However, profit before tax was higher at RM0.54 million primarily due to lower operating expenses in 2014.

HEXZA CORPORATION BERHAD (8705-K)(Incorporated in Malaysia)

Annual Report 201410

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (continued)

OPERATIONS

The manufacturing division comprise the manufacture of formaldehyde based adhesives and resins, ethanol and bio-fermented vinegar. The manufacture of formaldehyde based adhesives and resins and the manufacture of ethanol represent the core activity of the Group.

The performance of the Resins division continues to reflect the distinctly different macro economies in which they operate. Hexzachem Sarawak Sdn. Bhd., which operates out of Kuching and serves East Malaysia, manufactures adhesives which are used in the production of export quality plywood, particle boards and medium density fibre boards; while Norsechem Resins Sdn. Bhd., which operates out of Port Klang and serves Peninsular Malaysia, manufactures adhesives which are used in the wood panels industry.

Hexzachem Sarawak Sdn. Bhd. appears to have turned the corner in terms of production and sales volume, and can be expected to continue its current growth path. Hexzachem Sarawak Sdn. Bhd. continues to work diligently towards improving its products and to satisfy its customers’ requirements’, an example is the development of emission free formaldehyde resins. In this endeavour, it works closely with its world class technology partner.

In spite of the very competitive environment in which it operates, Norsechem Resins Sdn. Bhd. was able to report an improved performance this year with a lower loss.

Chemical Industries (Malaya) Sdn. Bhd. considers itself a premium quality manufacturer focussing on producing high quality potable industrial and pharmaceutical grade ethanol with low impurities which conform to British Pharmacopoeia 1993. We also produce absolute alcohol through the utilisation of “Membrane Separation” technology. We are proud to be a qualified global stockist for a multinational pharmaceutical company. In the financial year ended 30th June 2014, we were awarded the “Overall Best Licence Holder” and the “Best Excise Duty Licence Holder” by the Perak Royal Customs Department. We continue to work closely with our customers taking cognisance of their needs and ensuring on time deliveries.

The manufacture of organically fermented vinegar by Bio-Acetic Products Sdn. Bhd. has just started to see growth and is showing signs of achieving its potential. While there are many types of food grade vinegar in the market, naturally derived organic fermented vinegar provides consumers a healthier and better choice.

Summit Development Corporation Sdn. Bhd. the property development arm, continues to seek and review potential development opportunities that come its way, particularly that of boutique and mix development projects. As with all our undertakings, we adopt a prudent approach bearing in mind the financial viability of the project.

OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS

Any review of the Group will have to reflect the environment in which it operates. The economic uncertainties I touched on in previous Annual Reports remain. The market for our products continue to grow and the underlying demographics remain positive towards long term growth, nevertheless many of the raw materials required are under pressure.

We face an ongoing productivity challenge. Costs have risen significantly in the past decade and this is expected to continue. In addition, we also face increasingly stringent environmental regulations as well as the volatility of foreign exchange between the Ringgit Malaysia vis-a-vis the U.S. Dollar. Added to this is the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) in Malaysia next year. With its implementation the overall cost of living is expected to increase.

Fortunately, we fare better on the demand side. Despite the many uncertainties, we believe that our emphasis on quality, supply chain management, financial and budgetary improvements have served us well and allowed our products to remain competitive.

Your Board has been quite conservative in its approach to expansion and diversification and will henceforth adopt a more aggressive but studied approach in growing its top and bottom lines.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Over the years, our conduct has been characterised by high ethical standards and respect for our stakeholders. Since we started operations close to fifty years ago, Corporate Social Responsibility has been part of our way of doing business and it goes beyond financial donations and sponsorship.

Last year, I had stated that it may be ad-tedium for me to repeat our Corporate Social Responsibility Statement in full except to re-emphasise our Corporate Social Responsibility mission. This year, I would like to highlight certain events that underscore how Corporate Social Responsibility has been practised in Hexza.

A few years back, we had to persevere with recurrent factory and operational stoppages which resulted in financial losses for the Group. During these difficult times, we did not downsize our work force nor was there any reduction in pay. Instead, competent employees were sent to undergo additional training and education to further develop their skills and knowledge as well as to improve working efficiency. We maintain our commitment to our employees and remain steadfast in our responsibility to provide them with sustainable employment opportunities.

Your Company appreciates that without being socially and environmentally responsible, it is impossible to have economically sustainable operations in the long term. Corporate Social Responsibility and sustainability are the template of that strategy. For Hexza, Corporate Social Responsibility is about having a sustainable business plan in the face of local and global challenges. It is also about conducting business with a conscience, caring for its employees, the community, the environment, its customers, its shareholders and all stakeholders.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility mission is for all our Directors, Senior Executives, Management and staff to be participants in the advancement of a caring, learning and civil community.

Our ideals and endeavours remain consistent, and, Corporate Social Responsibility is in our social responsibility genetics.

DIVIDEND

Your Board has recommended a first and final dividend of 4.0 sen net per ordinary share of 50 sen each comprising a single tier dividend of 8.0% in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2014.

This is subject to the approval of the shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

APPRECIATION

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to extend my appreciation to all our stakeholders, valued customers, business associates, loyal shareholders, the authorities and financiers for their continuous support.

Last but not least, I would like to extend my appreciation to my fellow Board members for their invaluable advice and contributions.

I would also like to extend my sincerest appreciation to the managers, executives and employees for their contribution, dedication and commitment in achieving our objectives.

Board Responsibility

The Board recognizes its responsibility in maintaining a sound system of internal controls which includes not only financial controls but also operational and compliance controls as well as effective risk management. The Board has established on-going processes for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks that matters. Due to the limitations that are inherent in any system of internal control and risk management, the system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risks that may impede the achievement of the Group’s business objectives. The Board continually reviews the system to ensure it provides a reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement of management and financial information and records or against financial losses or fraud.

The Board is of the view that the Group’s internal control and risk management framework is in place. The key features of the internal control systems are described under the following headings:-

1. Enterprise Risk Management Framework

The Board confirms that the Group continues to implement the methodologies in accordance with the enterprise risk management framework approved by the Board. The framework ensures that there is an on going process for identifying, evaluating, monitoring and managing risks that matters and affecting the Group’s business objective.

During the financial year under review, the Risk Management Units of the operating companies continued to identify principal risks of the business, assess the likelihood and impact of the potential risk and evaluate and manage the risks by formulating action plans and time frame to mitigate those risks identified. The risk assessment reports are submitted on a half yearly basis by the respective operating companies to the Audit Committee for review and comments. The Audit Committee in turn reports to the Board its assessment and recommendations.

The Board reviewed and monitored the significant risks that have an impact on the achievement of the Group’s business objectives through its assessment of the internal control system.

2. Internal Audit Function

The Group has an in-house Internal Audit Unit which reports directly to the Audit Committee. The Internal Audit Unit is responsible to review and assess the internal control system to determine if the internal control procedures have been complied with and make recommendations to strengthen the internal control system.

During the financial year under review, the Internal Audit Unit has carried out regular and systematic reviews on major business operating units of the Group to assess the effectiveness and adequacy of internal control and also on risk management and highlight areas for improvement. The annual audit plan has been reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee prior to the commencement of audit. Internal audit reports are issued upon completion of each audit which includes details on the audit objectives, scope, audit findings and recommendations and management’s response to the recommendations of the Internal Audit Unit. The Internal Audit Unit prepares quarterly reports to update the Audit Committee on the status of audit performed.

The Audit Committee ensures that control issues highlighted by both the Internal Audit Unit and the external auditors are appropriately addressed by the respective management of the operating subsidiaries on a timely basis.

The Board reviews the minutes of the Audit Committee meeting and is briefed by the Audit Committee Chairman on a quarterly basis.

No shares have been issued during the financial year by virtue of the exercise of any option to take up unissued shares of the Company. As of the end of the financial year, there were no unissued shares of the Company under options.

OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION

Before the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the statements of financial position of the Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps:

(a) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of allowance for doubtful debts and had satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate allowance had been made for doubtful debts; and

(b) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their book values in the ordinary course of business had been written down to their estimated realisable values.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances:

(a) which would render the amount written off as bad debts or the amount of allowance for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or

(b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading; or

(c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate; or

At the date of this report, there does not exist:

(a) any charge on the assets of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year and secures the liability of any other person; or

(b) any contingent liability of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year. No contingent or other liability has become enforceable, or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and of the Company to meet their obligations as and when they fall due.

In the opinion of the directors, no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report which is likely to affect substantially the results of operations of the Group and of the Company for the financial year in which this report is made.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HEXZA CORPORATION BERHAD

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements of Hexza Corporation Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial position of the Group and of the Company as of June 30, 2014 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 year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 36 to 87.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

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

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors 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 that 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 June 30, 2014 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International 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 that:

(a) in our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by the subsidiaries have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act;

(b) we are satisfied that the accounts of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the financial statements of the Company 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 as required by us for these purposes; and

(c) our auditors’ reports on the accounts of the subsidiaries did not contain any qualification or any adverse comment made under Section 174 (3) of the Act.

HEXZA CORPORATION BERHAD (8705-K)(Incorporated in Malaysia)

Annual Report 201446

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION The Company is a public limited company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia and is listed on the Main

Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

The Company is principally involved in investment holding.

The principal activities of the subsidiary companies are disclosed in Note 15.

There have been no significant changes in the nature of the principal activities of the Company and its subsidiary companies during the financial year.

The registered office and principal place of business of the Company are located at Lot 6 & 20, Persiaran Tasek, Kawasan Perindustrian Tasek, 31400 Ipoh, Perak Darul Ridzuan.

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30th September 2014.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Malaysian

Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRSs”), International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.

2.1 Adoption of new and revised MFRSs

New and revised MFRSs affecting amounts reported and/or disclosures in the financial statements In the current year, the Group and the Company have applied a number of new and revised MFRSs issued

by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after January 1, 2013.

The application of new and revised MFRSs has had no material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the financial statements, except as follows:

MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

The Group and the Company have applied MFRS 13 for the first time in the current year. MFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about the fair value measurements. The scope of MFRS 13 is broad; the fair value measurement requirements of MFRS 13 apply to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other MFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value (e.g. net realisable value for the purposes of measuring inventories or value in use for impairment assessment purposes).

MFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under MFRS 13 is an exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, MFRS 13 includes extensive disclosure requirements.

MFRS 13 requires prospective application from January 1, 2013. In addition, specific transitional provisions were given to entities such that they need not apply the disclosure requirements set out in the Standard in comparative information provided for periods before the initial application of the Standard. In accordance with these transitional provisions, the Company has not made any new disclosures required by MFRS 13 for the 2013 comparative period (please see Note 30 for the 2014 disclosures). Other than the additional disclosures, the application of MFRS 13 has not had any material impact on the amounts recognised in these financial statements.

Annual Report 2014 47

2.2 Standards and IC Interpretations (“IC Int.”) in issue but not yet effective The Group and the Company have not elected for early adoption of the relevant new and revised MFRSs and

IC Int. and amendments to MFRSs and IC Int. which have been issued but not yet effective until future periods at the date of authorisation for issue of these financial statements. The directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and IC Int. when they become effective will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company in the period of initial application except as discussed below:

MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

MFRS 15 provides a single revenue recognition model for all entities to apply in accounting for revenue arising from contract with customers. It also includes new guidance as to whether revenue should be recognised at a point in time or over time, which replace the current distinction between goods and services.

The core principle of MFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

MFRS 15 also includes new quantitative and/or qualitative disclosure requirements on the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers.

MFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, with earlier application being permitted. An entity may choose to adopt MFRS 15 retrospectively or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment as of date of initial application of this Standard.

The Group and the Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption of MFRS 15, including identification of the differences in existing accounting policies as compared to MFRS 15. Thus, as at the date of authorisation of issue of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, the impact of adopting MFRS 15 cannot be reasonably determined and estimated reliably yet until such assessment is completed.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared on the historical cost basis except

for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of MFRS 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of MFRS 117, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in MFRS 102 or value in use in MFRS 136.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The principal accounting policies are set out below. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and of the subsidiary

companies controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where the Company:

• has power over the investee;

• is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

• has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The results of subsidiary companies acquired or disposed of during the financial year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiary companies to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group.

All significant intragroup transactions, balances and income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Unrealised losses are eliminated on consolidation unless costs cannot be recovered.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiary companies are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. The interests of non-controlling shareholders may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiary companies that do not result in the Group losing control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary companies. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary company, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary company and any non-controlling interests. When assets of the subsidiary company are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as specified by applicable Standards). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity.

Business Combinations Acquisitions of subsidiary companies and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The

consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Segment Reporting

For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that related to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. The Group’s reporting segments were identified based on internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The Group’s reportable segments are strategic business operations that are managed separately based on the Group’s management and internal reporting structure.

Annual Report 2014 49

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Revenue Recognition Sale of goods are recognised upon delivery of products and when the risks and rewards of ownership have

passed to the customers. Sales are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represent gross invoiced value of goods sold net of sales tax, trade discounts and allowances.

Income relating to property development projects is recognised upon signing of the individual sale and purchase agreements, and risks and rewards of ownership of the properties are transferred.

Dividend income represents gross dividends from subsidiary companies and from quoted and unquoted investments and is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive payment is established.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rates applicable.

Foreign Currencies

The individual financial statements of each group entity are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the functional currency of the Company, and also the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded in Ringgit Malaysia at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into Ringgit Malaysia at the exchange rates prevailing at 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.

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise except for exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value in respect of which gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. For such non-monetary items, the exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income.

Employee Benefits

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 leave are recognised when the absences occur.

Defined contribution plan

The Group makes statutory contributions to approved provident funds and the contributions are charged to profit or loss as incurred. The approved provident funds are defined contribution plans. Once the contributions have been paid, there are no further payment obligations.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible pertaining to previous years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The liability of the Group and of the Company for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised outside profit or loss (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case the tax is also recognised outside profit or loss; or when they arise from the initial accounting for a business combination. In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is taken into account in calculating goodwill or determining the excess of the interest of the acquirer in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost of the acquiree.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, properties under construction and other capital work-in-progress, over their estimated useful lives, after taking into account their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant lease.

Capital work-in-progress including properties in the course of construction for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined, are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Freehold land is not depreciated. Long-term leasehold land is amortised evenly over the lease period of 57½ to 97 years. The years of commencing of the amortisation range from 1985 to 2006.

Short-term leasehold land are amortised evenly over the lease period of 58½ years commencing from 1994.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The annual depreciation rates are as follows:

Buildings and improvements 2% to 10%Plant, machinery and equipment 5% to 20%Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 10% to 331/3%Motor vehicles and forklifts 20%

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for prospectively.

The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Investment in subsidiary companies

Investment in subsidiary companies which are eliminated on consolidation, are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any, in the Company’s separate financial statements.

Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the cash-generating units of the Group expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognised immediately in the consolidated profit or loss and any impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not subsequently reversed.

On disposal of an entity or operation, the goodwill associated with the entity or operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the entity or operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal.

Impairment of Assets Excluding Goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group and the Company review the carrying amounts of their assets (other than inventories and financial assets which are dealt with in their respective policies) to determine if there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Annual Report 201452

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the recoverable amount.

An impairment loss is only reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined principally on the “Weighted Average” method. Cost of raw materials and consumables, and goods-in-transit comprise the original purchase price plus cost incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress comprises the cost of raw materials, direct labour and a proportion of the production overheads.

Inventories of unsold completed development units are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the relevant cost of land, development expenditure and related interest cost incurred during the development year.

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less all other estimated costs to completion.

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to construction of assets which require a substantial period of time to get them ready for their intended use are capitalised and included as part of the related assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs will cease when the assets are ready for their intended use.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group and the Company have present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event and it is probable that the Group and the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Financial Instruments

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

Where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, such financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade date.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets and financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), which are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.

Annual Report 2014 53

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Income and expense are recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets and financial liabilities classified as at FVTPL.

(a) Financial assets

Financial assets of the Group and of the Company are classified into at FVTPL, ‘available-for-sale’ (“AFS”) financial assets and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

(i) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

• it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or

• on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

• it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

• such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

• the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

• it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the “other gains and losses” line item. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.

(ii) AFS financial assets

AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at FVTPL. All AFS financial assets with the exception of unquoted shares which are measured at cost less impairment, are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve, with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.

Annual Report 201454

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(iii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

(iv) Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

For equity investments classified as AFS, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:

• significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

• breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

• it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or

• the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. 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, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off and changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.

When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.

With the exception of AFS equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

In respect of AFS equity securities, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(v) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group and the Company derecognise a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group and the Company neither transfer nor retain substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continue to control the transferred asset, the Group and the Company recognise their retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts they may have to pay. If the Group and the Company retain substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group and the Company continue to recognise the financial asset and also recognise a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

(b) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

(i) Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

(ii) Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group and the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

(iii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities of the Group and of the Company, including borrowings, are classified into “other financial liabilities” category, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.

(iv) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group and the Company derecognise financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s and the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

Statements of Cash Flows

The Group and the Company adopt the indirect method in the preparation of the statements of cash flows.

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to cash with insignificant risks of changes in value.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING jUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the process of applying the Group’s and the Company’s accounting policies, the directors are of the opinion that there are no instances of application of judgement which are expected to have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

In the application of the accounting policies of the Group and of the Company, the directors are required to make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Annual Report 201456

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING jUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (continued)

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 discussed below:

(a) Impairment of Goodwill

The Group tests goodwill for impairment annually in accordance with its accounting policy. More regular reviews are performed if events indicate that this is necessary.

For the purpose of assessing impairment, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination in which the goodwill arose.

Significant judgement is required in the estimation of the present value of future cash flows generated by the cash-generating units, which involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by assumptions used and judgement made regarding estimates of future cash flows and discount rates. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the results of the tests for impairment of goodwill.

(b) Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Non-current Assets

The Group assesses impairment of assets whenever the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, i.e. the carrying amount of the asset is more than the recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is measured at the higher of the fair value less cost to sell for that asset and its value-in-use. The value-in-use is the net present value of the projected future cash flows derived from that asset discounted at an appropriate discount rate. Projected future cash flows are based on Group’s estimates, approved by the management covering a period of five years and calculated based on historical, sector and industry trends, general market and economic conditions, changes in technology and other available information. The terminal value is calculated based on the projected residual value of the asset at the end of the fifth year.

Management of the Group have carried out an impairment review on their property, plant and equipment, and concluded that there is no indication of impairment.

(c) Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets

The Group recognises deferred tax assets arising from unabsorbed capital allowances and unutilised tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the unabsorbed capital allowances and unutilised tax losses can be utilised. The estimation of taxable profits requires use of judgement and assumptions about the Group’s future financial results.

(d) Estimated Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment

The Group regularly reviews 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.

(e) Recoverability of Receivables

The Group makes allowance for doubtful receivables based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade and other receivables. An allowance is established for trade or other receivable when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of transactions. The identification of doubtful receivables requires use of judgement and estimates with reference to the ageing profile and collection patterns.

Impairment tests for cash-generating units (“CGU”) containing goodwill The carrying amount of goodwill is allocated to the manufacturing and related sales functions of Chemical

Industries (Malaya) Sdn. Bhd. and Hexzachem Sarawak Sdn. Bhd..

During the financial year, the Group carried out a review of the recoverable amount of the CGUs containing goodwill. The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on a financial forecast, approved by management, covering a period of five years from the financial years 2015 to 2019. The following key assumptions were used to generate the financial forecast:

Sales volume growth rate 5.0% to 10.0% per annumInflation rate 5.0% per annumDiscount rate 8.0%

Receivables and payables turnover periods were estimated to be consistent with the current financial year.

The above key assumptions were determined based on past business performances and management’s expectations of future market development.

No impairment loss was recognised during the financial year as the recoverable amounts of the CGUs exceed their carrying amounts, including the goodwill allocated.

(a) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

Risk management is integral to the whole business of the Group and of the Company. Management continually monitors the Group’s and the Company’s risk management processes to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in the market conditions and the Group’s and the Company’s activities.

There have been no changes to the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which they manage and measure the risk.

Foreign currency risk management

The Group and the Company have minimal foreign currency transactions. As such, management considers the exposure to foreign currency risk to be minimal and has no significant impact to the financial results of the Group and of the Company.

Page 84: Annual Report - Hexza Annual Report 2014 ... RHB Bank Berhad RHB Investment Bank Berhad ... Total non-current liabilities 9,304 9,889 10,397 7,093 7,800

HEXZA CORPORATION BERHAD (8705-K)(Incorporated in Malaysia)

Annual Report 2014 83

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Market risk management The Group has in place policies to manage the Group’s exposure to fluctuations in prices of key raw materials

and consumables used in operations through management’s constant survey on market prices and its awareness of market trends. For marketable securities, the Group uses an investment committee to monitor fluctuations in market prices and to establish suitable cut loss procedures.

Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group and the Company.

The maximum exposure to credit risk in the event that the counterparties fail to perform their obligations at the end of the reporting period in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the statements of financial position. The Group and the Company do not hold any collateral on the balance outstanding.

The Group and the Company established policies on credit control which involves comprehensive credit evaluations, setting up appropriate credit limits, ensuring the sales are made to customers with good credit history and regular review of customers’ outstanding balances and payment trends. The Group and the Company consider the risk of material loss in the event of non-performance by the customers to be unlikely.

Concentration of credit risk of the Group relates to amounts owing by 3 (2013: 4) major customers which constituted approximately 35% (2013: 37%) of the total trade receivables of the Group at the end of the reporting period. These trade receivables are regular customers that have been transacting with the Group. The Group uses ageing analysis to monitor the credit quality of the trade receivables. Any receivables having significant balances past due or more than 90 days, which are deemed to have higher credit risk, are monitored individually.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are licensed financial institutions with high credit standings.

Interest rate risk management

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s and of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining a prudent mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings.

Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk

At the end of the reporting period, if interest rates increase/decrease by 50 (2013: 50) basis points with all other variables held constant, the Group’s profit net of tax would have been RM13,500 (2013: Nil) lower/ higher arising mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings. The assumed movement in the interest rates for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.

Other price risks

The Group and the Company are exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group and the Company do not actively trade these investments.

Equity price sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

30. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, FINANCIAL RISKS AND CAPITAL RISKS MANAGEMENT (continued)

If equity prices had been 5% (2013: 5%) higher/lower, the Group’s and the Company’s:

• net profit for the year ended June 30, 2014 would have been unaffected as the equity investments are classified as available-for-sale and no investments are expected to be impaired; and

• investments revaluation reserve would increase/decrease by RM2,671,379 and RM2,670,399 (2013: RM2,593,197 and RM2,592,193) respectively as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale investments.

The Group’s and the Company’s sensitivity to equity prices have not changed significantly from the prior year.

Liquidity and cash flow risks management

The Group practises prudent liquidity risk management to minimise the mismatch of financial assets and financial liabilities and to maintain sufficient credit facilities for contingent funding requirement of working capital.

The Group’s and the Company’s principal source of liquidity have historically been cash flows from operations and funds obtained from long and short-term borrowings.

The Group and the Company expect that the cash generated from their operations, their existing credit facilities and the trade terms provided by their suppliers will be sufficient to meet the Group’s and the Company’s currently anticipated capital expenditure and working capital needs for at least the next 12 months.

The Group has credit facilities of approximately RM31,500,000 (2013: RM31,800,000), of which only RM14,317,000 (2013: RM5,735,700) has been utilised for bank guarantees and trade facilities at the end of the reporting period. The Group and the Company expect to meet their financial obligations from their operating cash flows and proceeds from maturing financial assets.

All non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities are repayable on demand or due within one year from the end of the reporting period.

Capital risk management

The Group and the Company manage their capital to ensure the Group and the Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of debt and equity balance. The Group’s and the Company’s overall strategy remain unchanged from 2013.

The capital structure of the Group and of the Company consists of net debt and equity of the Group and of the Company. The Group and the Company are not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
