ANNUAL REPORT 2013

Chairmans Statement
On behalf of the Board of Directors of FIBON
Berhad, I am pleased to present the Annual Report
and Audited Financial Statements of the Group and
of the Company for the financial year ended 31 May
2013.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Group acknowledges the Malaysian Code on
Corporate Governance which set out the principles,
best practices and guidelines that may be applied in
the operations of a company, so as to enhance the
transparency and accountability of public listed
companies in Malaysia. These high standards have
enabled the Group to function and perform in the
best interests of shareholders. The Board will
ensure that the requirements of Bursa Malaysia
Securities Berhad are applied and adhered to by
the Company.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
For the financial year under review, the Group
registered revenue of approximately RM 16.7
million, a decrease of 1.34% compared to the
preceding year. Profit after tax increase from RM
4.5 million to RM 4.9 million. The increase is mainly
due to increase in sales of manufacturing goods.
The Group continues maintaining a set of healthy
and financially sound balance sheet with cash and
cash equivalents of approximately RM 20 million.

APPRECIATION
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to
convey our most sincere thanks and appreciation to
every member of the Fibon family for their
continued efforts, commitment, dedication and hard
work in every level of the organization. I would also
like to take this opportunity to extend our deepest
gratitude to all our valued customers, suppliers,
business associates, investors, bankers and
authorities for their continued support and
confidence in the Group.

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS


The global economic outlook is expected to remain
uncertain for the next twelve months due to the
impact of the Eurozone debt crisis, sovereign credit
rating and natural disasters and any recovery in
global condition is envisaged to be gradual. Despite
the global uncertainties, we remain focused on our
strategy of sales expansion of its existing products
to new markets and continue to invest in research
and development for new products.

Last but not least, I wish to extend a personal thank


you to my fellow Directors for their invaluable
guidance, advice and support. I am confident that
with your continuing support and devotion, together
we can bring Fibon to a higher level of achievement
in the years to come.

The Directors expect the Groups operating


environment to remain challenging for the financial
year ending 31 May 2014. We remain cautiously
optimistic and believe we will be able to maintain a
favourable performance and bringing the Group to a
higher platform of growth in year 2014.

Statement on Corporate Governance


for the financial year ended 31 May 2013
INTRODUCTION

Board Meeting

The Board of Directors (the Board) of Fibon


Berhad (the Company) is committed to exercise
good corporate governance by supporting and
applying the prescriptions of the principles and best
practices set out in Malaysian Code on Corporate
Governance 2012 (MCCG 2012 or the Code).

The Board ordinarily meets at least four (4) times a


year at quarterly intervals with additional meeting
convened when urgent and important decisions
need to be taken between the scheduled meetings.
During the financial year ended 31 May 2013, the
board met on four (4) occasions, where it
deliberated upon and considered a variety of
matters including the Groups financial results,
major investments and strategic decisions and the
business plan and direction of the Group.

The Board is pleased to provide the following


statement on how the Group has applied the
principles and recommendations set out in the
Code. Unless otherwise stated, the Board has
throughout the financial year ended 31 May 2013
complied with the best practices indicated in the
Code.

The present Board of Directors headed by the


chairman is comprised of:

The Board acknowledges the importance of


achieving best practice in its standards of business
integrity and corporate accountability and is
committed to subscribe to the recommendations of
the Code.

4 Non-Independent Executive Directors


3 Independent Non-Executive Directors

The composition of the Board is basically in


compliance with the Bursa Securities Listing
Requirements and the Code. The Board
composition has been balanced to reflect the
interests of the major shareholders, management
and minority shareholders. Collectively, the
Directors bring a wide range of business and
financial experience relevant to the direction of the
Group.

The Board
The Group recognises the important role played by
the Board in the stewardship of the Groups
direction and operations, and ultimately, the
enhancement of long-term shareholders value. To
fulfill this role, the Board is responsible for the
overall corporate governance of the Group,
including its strategic direction, establishing goals
for management and monitoring the achievement of
these goals.

The Board noted that one of the recommendations


of the MCCG 2012 is that the tenure of an
Independent Director should not exceed a
cumulative term of nine (9) years. In case of any
Independent Director exceeding cumulative term of
nine (9) years, he / she should be re-designated to
be Non-Executive Director or shareholders
approvals would need to be obtained in order for he
/ she to remain as Independent Director. Amongst
the Board members, all the tenure of three (3)
Independent Non-Executive Directors have not
exceeded cumulative term of nine (9) years.

In fostering commitment towards MCCG 2012, the


Board has established a Board Charter to ensure
that all Board members are aware of their fiduciary
duties and responsibilities for the proper
stewardship of the Group to provide reasonable
assurance for the success of the Group on
sustainable manner. The Board is tasked with
realisation of long term and sustainable
shareholders value and safeguarding the interests
of stakeholders.

Another recommendation of the MCCG 2012 states


that the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer / Managing Director should be held by
different individuals, and the Chairman must be a
non-executive member of the Board. Otherwise, the
Board should comprise of majority independent
directors. Pertaining to this recommendation, the
Board is currently exploring and considering various

13

ADVANCE COMPOSITES

possible alternatives prior to adoption of the best
practise moving forward.

The Board, through the Nomination Committee,


appraises the composition of the Board and
believes that the current composition brings the
required mix of skills and core competencies for the
Board to discharge its duties effectively. New
appointees will be considered and evaluated by the
Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee
will then recommend the candidates to be approved
and appointed by the Board. The Company
Secretary will ensure that all appointments are
properly made and that legal and regulatory
obligations are met.

Statement on Risk Management & Internal Control


for the financial year ended 31 May 2013
Groups assets and for reviewing the adequacy and
integrity of the system. It should be appreciated that
such a system is designed to manage the principle
business risks that may impede the Group from
achieving business objectives, and can only provide
reasonable and not absolute assurance against
material misstatement or loss. The system of
internal controls cover financial, organisational,
operational and compliance controls to safeguard
shareholders investment and the Groups assets.

INTRODUCTION
The Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance
(The Code) prescribes that all listed issuers should
have an internal audit function and all risks areas
identified.
The Principals and Best Practises in the Malaysian
Code on Corporate Governance state that the
Board should maintain a sound system of internal
control to safeguard shareholders investments and
the Groups assets.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Paragraph 15.26(b) of the Bursa Securities Main


Market Listing Requirements also echoed that the
Board is ultimately responsible for the Groups
system of internal control and for reviewing the
effectiveness of the internal control system.

The Board understands that risk management plays


an important role in identify risk areas which impede
the achievement of the Groups corporate
objectives. As such the Group strives to identify and
manage its risks faced by the Group during the year
during their monthly management meetings.

Internal control system is primarily designed to cater


for the business needs and manage the potential
business risks of the Group.

KEY ELEMENTS OF THE INTERNAL


CONTROL SYSTEM

There are inherent risks in any systems of internal


control, as such systems are designed to mitigate
rather than eliminate the likelihood of fraud and
error. Accordingly, these systems can provide only
reasonable and not absolute assurance against
material misstatement or loss. The concept of
reasonable assurance also recognises that the cost
of control procedures should not exceed the
expected benefits.

Internal controls are embedded in the Groups


operations as follows:

Organisation Structure
The Group has in place an organisation structure
with clearly defined lines of responsibilities and
functionality which promotes appropriate levels of
accountability for risk management, control
procedures and effectiveness of operations.

The Board is committed to maintain a sound system


of internal control in the Group and is pleased to
provide the following Statement on Internal Control
(Statement) pursuant to paragraph 15.26(b) of the
Bursa Securities Main Market Listing.
Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad
(Bursa Securities) and the Statement on Internal
Control: Guidance for Directors of Public Listed
Companies.

Board and Management Meetings


Strategic planning and detailed target setting for
each area of business are established. The Board
and Management holds monthly meetings to
monitor actual results, with significant variances are
being investigated and management action taken,
where necessary as well as listening to feedback on
daily operational issues.

BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES
The Board acknowledges its responsibility for
maintaining a sound system of internal control to
safeguard shareholders investments and the

towards areas with significant risks as identified by
the AC and the Management.

Performance Management Framework


Management reports are generated on a monthly
and quarterly basis to facilitate the Board and the
Groups management to perform review on the
business units. The Groups management
information system has been upgraded to provide
management with better reporting system. The
reporting and review encompass financial and nonfinancial matter for compliance and daily operational
use.

The Group had engaged an external independent


internal auditor to assist the AC, and by extension,
the Board. The scope covers the audit of business
units and operations as agreed with management.
From time to time, the scope is reviewed by the AC
to ensure its relevancy and effectiveness.
The internal audit function advises management on
areas for improvement and subsequently reviews
the extent to which its recommendations have been
implemented, and reports directly to the AC on a
quarterly basis.

Limits of Authority
Defined level of authorities and lines of
responsibilities from business divisions up to the
Board level is established to ensure accountabilities
and responsibilities for risk management and
control activities.

The cost incurred for the external independent


internal audit services in respect of the financial
year 31 May 2013 was RM19,214.40.
In Fibon Berhad, the Managing Director is defined
as the highest ranking executive in the Group
hence, the person responsible for carrying out
corporate policies established by the Board and
whose main responsibilities include developing and
implementing high-level strategies, making major
corporate decisions, managing the overall
operations and resources of the Group, and acting
as the main point of communication between the
Board and corporate operations.

Operational Policies and Procedures


The Groups policies and procedures form an
integral part of the internal control system to
safeguard the Groups assets against material
losses and to ensure a systematic running of the
daily operation. Regular reviews are performed to
ensure that documentation remains current and
relevant.

The Financial Controller is defined as the person


primarily responsible for the management of the
financial affairs of the company (such as record
keeping, financial planning and financial reporting),
by whatever name called.

Audit Committee
The AC reports to the Board on a quarterly basis
the activities of the internal audit function and
deliberate on the internal audit reports. The AC also
ensures that the adequacy and effectiveness of the
internal controls and procedures and that there are
continuous efforts by management to address and
resolve areas with control weakness.

On 22 July 2013, based on the letter by both the


Managing Director and the Financial Controller
provides the assurance to the Groups Board that
the Groups risk management and internal control
system is operating adequately and effectively.
The monitoring, review and reporting arrangements
provides reasonable assurance that the structure of
controls and its operations are appropriate to the
Groups operations and that risks are at an
acceptable
level
throughout
the
Groups
businesses. Such arrangements, however, do not
eliminate the possibility of human error, deliberate

Internal Audit Functions

Directors Responsibility for the Financial Statements


The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements so as to give a true and
fair view in accordance with Malaysia Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards
and 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.

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 entitys 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 entitys internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the
Company as of 31 May 2013 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the financial year then ended
in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and
the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia.

BASIS OF PREPARATION (Contd)


3.2

(Contd)
The above accounting standards and interpretations (including the consequential amendments) are
not relevant to the Companys operations except as following:MFRS 9 & Amendments to MFRS 9 : Mandatory Effective Date of MFRS 9 and Transition
Disclosures
MFRS 9 replaces the parts of MFRS 139 that relate to the classification and measurement of
financial instruments. MFRS 9 divides all financial assets into 2 categories those measure at
amortised cost and those measured at fair value, based on the entitys business model for
managing its financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instruments, For
financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the MFRS 139 requirements, An entity choosing to
measure a financial liability at fair value will present the portion of the change in its fair value due to
changes in the entitys own credit risk in other comprehensive income rather than within profit or
loss. There will be no financial impact on the financial statements of the Company upon its initial
application but may impact its future disclosures.
MFRS 13
MFRS 13 defines fair value, provides guidance on how to determine fair value and require
disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of MFRS 13 is board; it applies to both
financial instruments items and non-financial instrument items for which other MFRSs require of
permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified
circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in MFRS 13 are more extensive than those
in the current standards and therefore there will be no financial impact on the financial statements
of the Company upon its initial application but may impact its future disclosures.
Amendments to MFRS 7 : Disclosures Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The Amendments to MFRS 7 (Disclosures Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities)
require disclosure that will enable users of an entitys financial statements to evaluate the effect or
potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with the entitys
recognised financial assets and recognised financial liabilities, on the entitys financial position.
There will be no financial impact on the financial statements of the Company upon its initial
application but may its future disclosures.

Amendments to MFRS 101 : Presentation of items of Other Comprehensive Income


The amendments to MFRS 101 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive
income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. In addition,
items presented in other comprehensive income section are to be group based on whether they are
potentially re-classifiable to profit or loss subsequently i.e. those that might be reclassified and
those that will not be reclassified. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is requires to
be allocated on the same basis. There will be no financial impact on the financial statements of the
Company upon its initial application other than the presentation format of the statements of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income.

(Contd)
Amendments to MFRS 132 : Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The amendments to MFRS 132 provide the application guidance for criteria to offset financial
assets and financial liabilities. Accordingly, there will be no financial impact on the financial
statements of the Company upon its initial application but may impact its future disclosures.
Annual Improvements to MFRSs 2009-2011 cycle
The Annual Improvements to MFRSs 2009 2011 Cycle contain amendments to MFRS 1, MFRS
101, MFRS 116, MFRS 132 and MFRS 134. These amendments are expected to have no material
impact on the financial statements of the Company upon their initial application .

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


(a)

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements


Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the directors and management and are
based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and judgements that affect the
application of the Groups accounting policies and disclosures, and have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses
are discussed below:(i)

Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment


The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the
property, plant and equipment are based on commercial and production factors which could
change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors actions in response to
the market conditions.
The Group anticipates that the residual values of its property, plant and equipment will be
insignificant. As a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration for the
computation of the depreciable amount.
Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the
economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation
charges could be revised.

(ii) Income Taxes


There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination may
be different from the initial estimate. The Group recognises tax liabilities based on its
understanding of the prevailing tax laws and estimates of whether such taxes will be due in the
ordinary course of business. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the
amounts that were initially recognised, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred
tax provisions in the year in which such determination is made.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Contd)


(a)

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Contd)


(iii) Impairment of Non-financial Assets
When the recoverable amount of an asset is determined based on the estimate of the value-inuse of the cash-generating unit to which the asset is allocated, the management is required to
make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to
apply a suitable discount rate in order to determine the present value of those cash flows.
(iv) Amortisation of Development Costs
Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the
economic useful lives. Therefore, future amortisation charges could be revised.
(v) Write-down of Inventories
Reviews are made periodically by management on damaged, obsolete and slow-moving
inventories. These reviews require judgement and estimates. Possible changes in these
estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventories.
(vi) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables
An impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that a financial asset is
impaired. Management specifically reviews its loan and receivables financial assets and
analyses historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current
economic trends and changes in the customer payment terms when making a judgement to
evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for impairment losses. When there is objective
evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on
historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. If the expectation is
different from the estimation, such difference will impact the carrying value of receivables.

(b)

Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries made up to 31 May 2013.
A subsidiary is defined as a company in which the parent company has the power, directly or
indirectly, to exercise control over its financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from
its activities.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group up to the
effective date on which control ceases, as appropriate.
Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions are eliminated on
consolidation; unrealised losses are also eliminated on consolidation unless cost cannot be
recovered. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiaries
to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group.

(b)

Basis of Consolidation (Contd)


(i)

Business Combinations
All Subsidiaries are consolidated using the purchase method except for the subsidiary, Hexa
Analisa Sdn. Bhd., which are accounted for under the merger method.
Under the purchase method, the results of the subsidiaries acquired or disposed off are
included from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. At the date of acquisition, the
fair values of the subsidiaries net assets are determined and these values are reflected in the
consolidated financial statements. The cost of acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the
fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity
instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly
attributable to the business combination.
Non-controlling interests are initially measured at their share of the fair values of the identifiable
assets and liabilities of the acquiree as at the date of acquisition.
Under the merger method of accounting, the results of subsidiaries are presented as if the
merger had been effected throughout the current and previous years. In the consolidated
financial statements, the cost of the merger is cancelled with the nominal values of the shares
received. Any resulting debit difference is shown as merger deficit.

(ii) Non-controlling Interests


Non-controlling interests are presented within equity in the consolidated statement of financial
position, separately from the equity attributable to owners of the Company. Transactions with noncontrolling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners and are recognised directly in
equity. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the
owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed
to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit
balance.
At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the
amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests share of
subsequent changes in equity.
(iii) Acquisitions of Non-controlling Interests
All changes in the parents ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of
control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which
the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of consideration paid or received is
recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent.

(b) Basis of Consolidation (Contd)
(iv) Loss of Control
Upon loss of control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference
between:(i)

the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any
retained interest in the former subsidiary; and

(ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the former
subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.
Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the former
subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to
retained profits) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or
liabilities were disposed off. The fair value of any investments retained in the former
subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition
for subsequent accounting under MFRS 139 or, when applicable, the cost on initial
recognition of an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity.
(c) Functional and Foreign Currencies
(i)

Functional and Presentation Currency


The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are presented in the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates, which is the functional
currency.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM) which is the
Companys functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and Balances


Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the respective functional currencies on
initial recognition, using the exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates.
Monetary assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period are translated at the rates
ruling as of that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates
that existed when the values were determined. All exchange differences are recognised in
profit or loss.
(iii) Foreign Operations
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to RM at the rates of exchange ruling
at the end of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated
at exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. All exchange differences arising from
translation are taken directly to other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under
translation reserve. On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount recognised in
other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified from
equity to profit or loss.

(iii)

Foreign Operations (Contd)


Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of foreign operations are
treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and are recorded in the functional
currency of the foreign operations and translated at the closing rate at the end of the
reporting period except for those business combinations that occurred before the date of
transition (1 June 2011) which are treated as assets and liabilities of the Company and are
not retranslated.

(d)

Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the statements of financial position when the Group has
become a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument
classified as a liability, are reported as an expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial
instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity.
Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends
to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
A financial instrument is recognised initially, at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial
instrument not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to
the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument.
Financial instruments recognised in the statements of financial position are disclosed in the
individual policy statement associated with each item.
(i)

Financial Assets
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables financial assets, or
available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss when
the financial asset is either held for trading or is designated to eliminate or significantly
reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise.
Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains
or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. Dividend income from this
category of financial assets is recognised in profit or loss when the Groups right to receive
payment is established.
As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this
category.

Financial Instruments (Contd)


(i) Financial Assets (Contd)
Held-to-maturity Investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments and fixed maturities that the management has the positive intention and ability
to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method less any impairment loss, with revenue recognised on an
effective yield basis.
As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this
category.
Loans and Receivables Financial Assets
Trade receivables and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are
not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables financial assets.
Loans and receivables financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less any impairment loss. Interest income is recognised by applying the
effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest
would be immaterial.
Available-for-sale Financial Assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated in
this category or are not classified in any of the other categories.
After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are remeasured to their fair
values at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair
value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the fair value
reserve, with the exception of impairment losses. On derecognition, the cumulative gain or
loss previously accumulated in the fair value reserve is reclassified from equity into profit
or loss.
Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the
Groups right to receive payments is established.
Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are
measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this
category.

Financial Instruments (Contd)

(ii) Financial Liabilities


All financial liabilities are initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method other than those
categorised as fair value through profit or loss.
Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are either held for
trading or are designated to eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition
inconsistency that would otherwise arise. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading
unless they are designated as hedges.
(iii) Equity Instruments
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of
new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds.
Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when approved for appropriation.
(e)

Investments in Subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost in the statement of financial position of the Company,
and are reviewed for impairment at the end of the reporting period if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable.
On the disposal of the investments in subsidiaries, the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the investments is recognised in profit or loss.

(f)

Property, Plant and Equipment


Property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, if any.
Freehold land is stated at cost less impairment losses, if any and is not depreciated.
Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method to write off the depreciable amount of the
assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation of an asset does not cease when the asset
becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated. The principal annual
rates used for this purpose are:Building
Plant and machinery
Motor vehicles
Office equipment, furniture and fittings

(f) Property, Plant and Equipment (contd)
The depreciation method, useful life and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at
the end of each reporting period to ensure that the amounts, method and periods of depreciation are
consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic
benefits embodied in the items of the property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefits
associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
The carrying amount of parts that are replaced is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing
of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Cost also comprises the
initial estimate of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site on which it is located for
which the Group is obligated to incur when the asset is acquired, if applicable.
Plant and machinery under construction represents assets which are not ready for commercial use at
the end of the reporting period. Plant and machinery under construction are stated at cost, and are
depreciated accordingly when the assets are completed and ready for commercial use.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the asset is
recognised in the profit or loss.
(g) Intangible Assets
(i)

Research and Development Expenditure


Research expenditure is recognised as an expense when it is incurred.
Development expenditure is recognised as an expense except that expenditure incurred on
development projects are capitalised as long-term assets to the extent that such expenditure is
expected to generate future economic benefits. Development expenditure is capitalised if, and
only if an entity can demonstrate all of the following:(i)

its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the asset under development;

(ii) the product or process is technically and commercially feasible;


(iii) its future economic benefits are probable;
(iv) its ability to use or sell the developed asset;
(v) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the asset
under development; and
(vi) its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell.
Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses, if any. Development expenditure initially recognised as an expense is not
recognised as assets in the subsequent period.

Intangible Assets (Contd)


(i)

Research and Development Expenditure (Contd)


The development expenditure is amortised on a straight-line method over a period of 5 years
when the products are ready for sale or use. In the event that the expected future economic
benefits are no longer probable of being recovered, the development expenditure is written
down to its recoverable amount.

(ii) Industrial Operating Right


Industrial operating right represent costs incurred by the Group to obtain Association of Short
Circuit Testing Authority (ASCTA) certifications for capabilities to design, construct and
develop low-voltage switchboards to meet international standards. As the ASCTA certifications
do not have any expiry date, the Group does not amortise these costs. Instead, impairment is
tested annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
industrial operating right might be impaired.
(h)

Impairment
(i)

Impairment of Financial Assets


All financial assets (other than those categorised at fair value through profit or loss), are
assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence of
impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash
flows of the asset. For an equity instrument, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value
below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.
An impairment loss in respect of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables
financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the
assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the
financial assets original effective interest rate.
An impairment loss in respect of available-for-sale financial assets is recognised in profit or
loss and is measured as the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and
amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the
fair value reserve. In addition, the cumulative loss recognised in other comprehensive income
and accumulated in equity under fair value reserve, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the
amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an
event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment
loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment
at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have
been had the impairment not been recognised. In respect of available-for-sale equity
instruments, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through
profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss made is recognised
in other comprehensive income.

(h)

Impairment
(ii) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The carrying values of assets, other than those to which MFRS 136 - Impairment of Assets
does not apply, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period for impairment when there is
an indication that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the
carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of the
assets is the higher of the assets fair value less costs to sell and their value-in-use, which is
measured by reference to discounted future cash flow.
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
When there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a
subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the
previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset
that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment
loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

(i)

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials is
determined on the first-in-first-out basis and comprises the cost of materials and incidentals
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of finished goods
and work-in-progress includes the cost of materials, labour and an appropriate proportion of
production overheads.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Where necessary, write down or write off is made for all damaged, obsolete and slow-moving items.

(j)

Income Taxes
Income taxes for the year comprise current and deferred tax.
Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the
year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the
end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.

(j)

Income Taxes (Contd)


Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and
unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against
which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be
utilised. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting
period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profits will
be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the
period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes relate to the
same taxation authority.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss.
Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transactions either in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity.

(k)

Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances and demand deposits that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value.

(l)

Employee Benefits
(i)

Short-term Benefits
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are
recognised in profit or loss and included in the development costs, where appropriate, in the
period which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group.

(ii) Defined Contribution Plans


The Group's contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the profit or loss and
included in the development costs, where appropriate, in the period to which they relate. Once
the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further liability in respect of the defined
contribution plans.

(n)

Contingent Liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will
only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the
control of the Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not
recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the
amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow is probable, it will then be
recognised as a provision.

OTHER RESERVES (Contd)


The nature and purpose of the reserve are as follow:-

Foreign Currency Translation Reserve


The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the
translation of the financial statements of foreign operation whose functional currencies are different from
that of the Groups presentation currency. It is also used to record the exchange differences arising from
monetary items which form part of the Groups net investment in foreign operations, where the monetary
item is denominated in either the functional currency of the reporting entity or the foreign operation.

Merger Deficit
The merger deficit in the financial year was related to the subsidiary which was consolidated under the
merger method of accounting.
The merger deficit arose from the difference between the carrying value of the investment and the nominal
value of the shares of the subsidiary upon consolidation using merger accounting principles.

16.

RETAINED PROFITS
At the end of the reporting period, the Company will be able to distribute dividends out of its entire retained
profits under the single tier tax system.

Market Risk (Contd)


(ii) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument
will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Groups exposure to
interest rate risk arises mainly from interest-bearing financial assets. The Groups policy is
to obtain the most favourable interest rates available. Any surplus funds of the Group will
be placed with licensed financial institutions to generate interest income.

(iii) Equity Price Risk


The Group does not have any quoted investments and hence is not exposed to equity
price risks.

(ii) Credit Risk


The Groups exposure to credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, arises mainly from
trade and other receivables. The Group manages its exposure to credit risk by the application
of credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures on an ongoing basis. For other
financial assets, the Group minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating
counterparties.
The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred
losses in respect of the trade and other receivables as appropriate. Impairment is estimated by
management based on prior experience and the current economic environment.

Credit risk concentration profile
The Groups major concentration of credit risk relates to the amounts owing by five (5)
(31.5.2012 : five (5); 1.6.2011: two (2)) groups of customer which constituted approximately
57% (31.5.2012: 53%; 1.6.2011 : 53%) of its trade receivables as at the end of the reporting
period.
Exposure to credit risk
As the Group does not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented
by the carrying amount of the financial assets as at the end of the reporting period.
The exposure of credit risk for trade receivables by geographical region is as follows:-

Trade receivables that are past due but not impaired

receivables. They are substantially companies with good collection track record and no recent
history of default.

Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired
A significant portion of trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are regular
customers that have been transacting with the Group. The Group uses ageing analysis to
monitor the credit quality of the trade receivables. Any receivables having significant balances
past due or more than 180 days, which are deemed to have higher credit risk, are monitored
individually.
(iii) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises mainly from general funding and business activities. The Group practises
prudent risk management by maintaining sufficient cash balances and the availability of funding
through certain committed credit facilities.
The following table sets out the maturity profile of the financial liabilities as at the end of the

Capital Risk Management


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

The financial assets and financial liabilities maturing within the next 12 months approximated
their fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of the financial instruments.

Fair Value Hierarchy


As at 31 May 2013, there were no financial instruments carried at fair value in the statements of

RECONCILIATION OF CONSOLIDATED
PROFIT OR LOSS AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
There are no material differences between the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income presented under FRSs and MFRSs.
RECONCILIATION OF CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOWS
There are no material differences between the consolidated statements of cash flows presented under
FRSs and MFRSs.
NOTES TO RECONCILIATIONS
(a) Property, plant and Equipment Deemed Cost Exemption
Under FRSs, the Group measured its land and building at cost. Upon transition to MFRSs, the Group
elected to measure these assets at fair value at the date of transition to MFRSs and use that fair

An increase in land and building at 1 June 2011 and 31 May 2012 of RM743,095;

(ii)

An increase in deferred tax liabilities at 1 June 2011 and 31 May 2012 of RM173,073 that
related to the fair value adjustment above; and

(iii)

The resulting adjustments on items (i) and (ii) above were adjusted against retained profits at 1
June 2011 and 31 May 2012.

The aggregate fair value of the land and building at 1 June 2011 was determined to be RM3,300,000
compared to the then carrying amount of RM2,556,905 under FRSs.
(b) Reserves
There were no adjustments to the reserves other than the following:-

EXPLANATORY NOTES ON SPECIAL BUSINESS:


i) Ordinary Resolution Mandate to issue shares pursuant to Section 132D of the Companies Act, 1965:
The Company wishes to renew the mandate on the authority to issue shares pursuant to Section 132D of the Companies Act,
1965 at the Sixth Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Company (hereinafter referred to as the General Mandate).
The Company has been granted a general mandate by its shareholders at the Fifth AGM of the Company held on 14
November 2012 (hereinafter referred to as the Previous Mandate).
The Previous Mandate granted by the shareholders had not been utilised and hence no proceeds were raised therefrom.
The purpose to seek the General Mandate is to enable the Directors of the Company to issue and allot shares at any time to
such persons in their absolute discretion without convening a general meeting as it would be both time and cost-consuming to
organise a general meeting.
This authority unless revoked or varied by the Company in the general meeting, will expire at the next Annual General Meeting.
The proceeds raised from the General Mandate will provide flexibility to the Company for any possible fund raising activities,
including but not limited to further placing of shares, for purpose of funding future investment project(s), working capital and/or
acquisitions.
ii) Ordinary Resolution Proposed Renewal Share Buy Back by the Company
The Proposed Ordinary Resolution No. 8 is passed, will authorise the Company to purchase up to ten per cent (10%) of the
issue and paid-up share capital of the Company through Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
All other information remains unchanged.
