CHAIRMAN’S
4 MESSAGE

On behalf of the Board of Directors of APFT Berhad,


I am pleased to present the Annual Report and
Audited Financial Statements of our Company and
the Group for the financial period from 1 August
2016 to 31 January 2018.

Overview

The last three years have been very challenging for the Group with continuing losses
especially in the flight training and oil & gas businesses. Efforts are being made to
consolidate the business operations and to restructure the Group. We are currently
continuing to identify and reviewing unproductive and loss-incurring activities in the
Group.

Corporate Developments

In 2017, the Group had embarked on a major restructuring exercise with the new
management team. The present Board of Directors and management are new and
have since undertaken various initiatives to rebuild the Company. We are undergoing
a corporate restructuring exercise which concentrates on reducing overhead costs,
disposing loss making subsidiaries and injecting new businesses into the Group. The
priority of the new Board and Management is now focused on taking stringent efforts
to steer the Group to financial stability, viability and sustainability in the near future.

We regret to note that one of our subsidiary, PT Technic (M) Sdn Bhd was wound up
on 18 December 2017.

On 19 January 2018, APFT Berhad announced that it has triggered the criterion
pursuant to Paragraph 2.1(e) of the Practice Note 17 (“PN17”) of the Main Market
Listing Requirement of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The Company is currently in
the midst of formulating an appropriate Regulation Plan to be uplifted from the PN17
status.

Annual Report 2018

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
6 & ANALYSIS

The financial period under review of 1 August 2016 to 31 January 2018 (18 months) has been a turbulent period for
the Group. During the financial period there has been a significant demand for pilots however due to various factors,
we were unable to take advantage of the demand and therefore could not sustain ourselves. During the same period
the Company and the Group underwent a change in management, in which the new management’s role is to revive
the Group’s business as a whole and to address the loss of business opportunities and financial issues.

Business Overview

Our company was incorporated in Malaysia on 19 January 2010 as a private limited liability company under the
name APFT Sdn Bhd. Our company was subsequently converted to a public limited liability company and assumed it’s
present name on 12 February 2010 to facilitate it’s listing on the Main Market of Bursa Securities.

The Group’s revenue for the financial period ended 31 January 2018 was RM 7.1 million, representing a decrease
of RM 19.8 million or 73.6% compared to RM 26.9 million in preceding year. The Group also recorded a higher
consolidated loss before taxation of RM 58.7 million as at 31 January 2018 as compared to the preceding period
which amounts to RM 44.5 million.

Factors attributed to the decrease in the revenue for the financial period under review as compared to the corresponding
year can be summarized as below:

a) the cessation of operations of our flight school operations

b) impairment and loss on disposal of plant, property, and equipment

c) property, plant, and equipment written-off

d) goodwill written-off

PN 17 OF THE MAIN MARKET LISTING REQUIREMENTS OF THE BURSA MALAYSIA SECURITIES BERHAD

On 19 January 2018, Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad informed the Company that it had been classified as an
affected listed issuer pursuant to Paragraph 2.1 (e) of Practice Note 17 (“PN17”) under the Main Market Listing
Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. As a result, the Company is required to submit a Regularization
Plan to the relevant authorities and to implement the Regulation Plan within a stipulated timeframe. The Company is in
the midst of formulating an appropriate Regulation Plan to be uplifted from the PN17 status.

PROSPECT AND OUTLOOK

The principal activities of the Company are that of investment holding and providing management services, whereas
the principal activities of its subsidiaries comprise of flight training, Air Charter Services and Oil & Gas / Construction.
With the worldwide increase in the demand for pilots especially in the Asia-Pacific region which requires approximately
253,000 pilots or 40% of the worldwide demand, we will be recommencing our Flight Training as soon as we
have obtained all the relevant approvals which we have applied for. We have a large fleet of aircrafts free from
encumbrances and a new Flight Training school complete with large hangers, 2 blocks of classrooms, a technical store
and an administrative office located at Lapangan Terbang Sultan Azlan Shah, Ipoh, Perak..

The Group is also venturing into air charter business to strengthen its portfolio in the aviation industry. The Company
is recommencing its charter business with its existing fleet of aircrafts which are free from all encumbrances. With this,
the operating costs would be low and the Company believes it would be able to penetrate the market.

Our Management wishes to extend our sincere appreciation to the APFT Team for their continuing hard work to grow
our Group, and their commitment and dedication to our corporate, social, and environment agendas. The management
takes this opportunity to thank all our shareholders, advisors, business associates, customers and relevant government
authorities. The Group sincerely treasures their invaluable support and confidence over the years.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
OVERVIEW STATEMENT 13

The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 (“the Code”) sets out the principles and recommendations on the
structures and processes that companies may adopt in governing the board towards achieving effective governance.

Towards this end, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of APFT Bhd (“APFT” or “the Company”) is pleased to present
herewith its statement on how the Board has applied and observed the principles and recommendations suggested in
the Code and has continued to exercise good governance in conducting its affairs.

Board Roles and Responsibilities

The Board assumes full responsibilities of the overall performance of APFT Group by setting strategic plans for the
Company and overseeing the conduct of the Company’s businesses based on the periodic performance of the Group,
reported by management in the quarterly financial results, explanation as well as operational information.

The Board also reviews the adequacy and integrity of the Company’s risk management, internal control systems and
management information system including key risks and systems to manage these risks as well as develop shareholder’s
communication policy and management succession for the Company. The Board recognizes that differences of opinion
may happen among its members therefore the Board keeps its meetings open and constructive and seeks consensus
among its members. The concept of transparency, accountability, and integrity continues to form the fundamentals to
which the Board discharges its duties.

The Board has appropriately delegated specific tasks to two (2) Board Committees namely, Audit Committee and
Nomination Committee. These Committees ensure greater attention, objectivity, and independence are provided in
the deliberations of specific board agenda. In order to ensure the direction and control of the Group is firmly within
the Board, the Board has defined the terms of reference for each Committee. The Chairman of the respective Board
Committees would report to the Board during the Board meetings on significant matters and salient matters deliberated
in the Committees.

In line with the recommendations of the Code, the Board has formalized its Board Charter, which sets out a list of
specific roles, and functions reserved to the Board and other matters that are important for good corporate governance.
The Board has also defined its ethical standards in the Code of Ethics and Conduct. The Code of Ethics and Conduct’s
objectives are for the Board and each Director to focus on areas of ethical risk, provide guidance to Directors to
assist them in recognizing and dealing with unethical conduct and helping to foster a culture of honesty, trust, and
responsibility. Though the provisions in this Code of Ethics and Conduct are not exhaustive, it sets forth key guiding
principles and policies as part of the Company’s commitment to integrity, transparency, and self-regulation. All Board
members are encouraged to highlight and discuss ethical issues that may affect the Company’s reputation or image
negatively to the attention of the Board.

Also, following the introduction of the Whistleblower Protection Act, 2010, the Board has formalized and adopted its
whistle blowing policy. The Board Charter, Code of Ethics and Conduct and Whistleblowing policies are available for
public viewing and accessible in the Company’s corporate website.

Board Composition

The Board composition is integral in providing an effective and strong leadership. We have a powerful mix of
experienced individuals on the Board in which 60% of the Board comprises of Independent Non-Executive Directors
who are able to offer their knowledge and experience to the business and positively challenge the Executive Directors
in developing the Company’s goals and strategies. These Non-Executive Directors keep the Management in check by
scrutinizing the Company’s performance and ensuring the goals and objectives of the Company are met and achieved
as well as consistently monitoring the Company’s performance.

Our Board currently has five (5) members comprising of three (3) Independent Non-Executive Directors and two (2) Non-
Independent Executive Directors. The Company had complied with Paragraph 15.02 of the MMLR of Bursa Malaysia
which stipulates that at least two (2) directors or one-third of the Board, whichever is higher, must be independent.

In line with the MCCG, the tenure of an Independent Director should not exceed a cumulative term of nine years.

Independent Director’s re-designation as a Non-Independent Non-Executive Director. In the event the Board intends to

decision and seek shareholders’ approval at general meeting. In justifying the decision, the NRC is entrusted to assess
the candidate’s suitability to continue as an Independent Director having due regard to their performance and ability
to continue contributing to the Board their knowledge, skills, and experience. On date of this statement, none of the
Independent Directors have served for more than nine years on the Board.

Prior to each Board Meeting, all Directors are given an agenda and a set of Board papers to enable them to review the
matters to be discussed at the Board Meeting and to be able to participate more effectively during the board meetings.
The Board Papers include minutes of the previous meeting, quarterly financial results and other issues requiring the

Appointments, Appraisal and Re-Election of Directors

The principle of the Board’s composition policy is to maintain an effective size of the board that reflects its responsibilities,
dynamic, the representatives of the interests of shareholders, and promotes common purpose and sense of sharing
among its members.

The appointment of new Directors is under the purview of the Nomination Committee, which is responsible for
making recommendations to the Board on suitable candidates for appointment as Directors of the Company. The
actual decision as to who shall be nominated is the responsibility of the full Board after considering the Nomination

As part of the process of assessing the suitability of candidates for Board membership, the Nomination Committee
takes into account various factors such as the individual’s educational background, independence, time availability,
experience, skills, core competence, and general knowledge of the Company’s businesses and markets.

The Nomination Committee is empowered to review annually the effectiveness, contribution and performance of the
Board, Board Committees, and Board members and the independence of its Independent Directors. The objective
of this review is to ensure that the Board’s size, structure and composition meet the needs and expectations of the
Company and the Listing Requirements as well as the diversity of the Board which includes skills, background, character,
experience, integrity, competency, and time to effectively discharge their roles and responsibilities as a board member.

In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, all newly-appointed Directors shall retire from office but
shall be eligible for re-election in the next Annual General Meeting subsequent to their appointment. The Articles of
Association of the Company also provide that at least one third (1/3) of the remaining Directors be subject to re-
election by rotation at each Annual General Meeting. Directors over seventy (70) years of age are required to submit
themselves for re-appointment annually in accordance with Section 129(6) of the Companies Act, 1965.

During the financial year, the Nomination Committee conducted four (4) meetings. This meeting was attended by all

Bursa’s analysis on corporate governance disclosures in Annual Report.

Directors’ Remuneration

The board defines remuneration philosophy and aligns business strategy and objectives with the overall goal of creating
shareholder value. To ensure fair and responsible remuneration practices, we seek a balance between employee and
shareholder interests while supporting entrepreneurial drive. We simultaneously strive to maintain a balance between
risks and rewards.

To determine the remuneration of executive and non-executive directors and certain senior executives, the committee
reviews relevant market and peer data and considers performance reviews. To retain flexibility and ensure fairness when
directing human capital to those areas of the Group requiring focused attention, subjective performance assessments
may sometimes be required when evaluating employee contributions. The committee assesses market practice relating
to share-based incentive plans and considers market-related information in its review of board and committee fees.
The board reviews committee proposals and, where required, submits them to shareholders for approval at the annual
general meeting.

OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION

Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps
to ascertain that:

(i) 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 adequate allowance had
been made for doubtful debts; and

(ii) any current assets which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business had been written down
to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.

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

(i) that would render the amount written-off for bad debts, or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts in the
Group and in the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or

(ii) that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company misleading; or

(iii) 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

(iv) not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements that would render any amount stated in the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.

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

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

(ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial
year.

No contingent liability 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF


APFT BERHAD
(Incorporated in Malaysia)

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of APFT BERHAD, which comprise the statement of financial position as of
31 January 2018, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity
and statement of cash flows for the period then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies, as set out on pages 40 to 128.

In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis of Qualified Opinion section of our report, the
accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as of 31 January
2018, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with Malaysian
Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies
Act, 2016 in Malaysia.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

As disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Group and the Company incurred a net loss of RM 67,567,994
and RM 14,508,455 respectively for financial period from 1 August 2016 to 31 January 2018 and as of that date,
the Group and the Company had a negative operating cash flow of RM 8,387,056 and RM 14,287,049 respectively.
The Group’s total current liabilities exceeds its total current assets by RM 31,919,349.

In addition, one of the subsidiaries was unable to meet its borrowings obligations during the financial period as
disclosed in Notes 23 and 24 to the financial statements. Few principal bankers had issued letters of demand and
statement of claim to the subsidiary. Certain creditors as disclosed in Note 39 had issued letters of demand to the
subsidiary due to long overdue debts.

In view of the matters set out above, there are material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the
Group to continue as a going concern.

We draw attention to Note 39 of the Financial Statements, which indicates that the Company has triggered the
Prescribed Criteria under Paragraph 2.1(a) of Practice Note 17 (“PN17”) of the Main Market Listing Requirements of
Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

In forming our audit opinion, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure of these matters in the financial
statements. Our opinion is not qualified on these matters.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

As disclosed in Note 18 to the financial statements, the Group had issued Employees’ Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”)
amounting to RM 3,575,000. We were unable to obtain the valuation report from external specialist on the fair value
of share options granted. Consequently, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to establish
the completeness, valuation and allocation of the ESOS.

of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-Laws”) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.
Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context
of our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report Thereon

The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises annual report,
but does not include the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and the Company does not cover the other information and we
do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
38 STATEMENTS

In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, our responsibility is to
read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
financial statements of the Group and the Company or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to
be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information;
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Statements

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Group and Company
that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial
Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 2016. The directors are also responsible for such
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Group
and the Company that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements of the Group and the Company, the directors are responsible for assessing the
Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group and
the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Group and the
Company as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on
Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on
Auditing, we exercised professional judgement and maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Group and Company,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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
Group’s and the Company’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Group and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the
financial statements of the Group and the Company or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Group and the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS 39

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Group and the Company,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements of the Group. We are responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with their all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company of the current year and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our
report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 2016 in Malaysia, we report that the subsidiary, of which
we have not acted as auditors, are disclosed in Note 7 to the financial statements.

Other Matter

This report is made solely to the member of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of the Companies
Act, 2016 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the contents
of this report.

Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
52 STATEMENTS

These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Group
to continue as a going concern. Based on the management plan, the ability of the Group and the Company to
continue as going concerns is dependent upon:

(a) successful in disposing the assets to repay the outstanding debts;


(b) successful in negotiation with creditors on an amicable solution to their demands;
(c) continuing support from a Director of the Company; and
(d) achieving sustainable and viable operations

In the event that these are not forthcoming, the Group and the Company may not be able to realise its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements may require
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that may be
necessary should the Group and the Company be unable to continue as going concerns.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of the Group and the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Malaysian
Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRSs”), International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), and the

In the current financial year, the Group and the Company has applied a number of new and revised MFRSs
issued by Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) that are relevant to its operations and effective
for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 and 2018 as follows:

Amendments to MFRS 107 Disclosure Initiative


Amendments to MFRS 112 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses
Amendments to MFRSs Annual Improvements to MFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle
MFRS 9 Financial Instruments
MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Amendments to MFRSs Annual Improvements to MFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle

The adoption of these Standards will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group and the
Company in the period of initial application except as disclosed below:

MFRS 9 Financial Instruments

MFRS 9 (IFRS 9 issued by IASB in November 2009) introduced new requirements for the classification and
measurement of financial assets. MFRS 9 (IFRS 9 issued by IASB in October 2010) includes requirements for
the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for de-recognition, and in February 2015, the
new requirements for general hedge accounting was issued by MASB. Another revised version of MFRS 9 was
issued by MASB-MFRS 9 (IFRS 9 issued by IASB in July 2015) mainly to include (a) impairment requirements for
financial assets and (b) limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements by introducing
a ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ (FVTOCI) measurement category for certain simple debt
instruments.

Key requirements of MFRS 9:

flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting
periods. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by
collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and that have contractual terms of the
financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
on the principal amount outstanding, are measured at FVTOCI. All other debt investments and equity
investments are measured at their fair value at the end of subsequent accounting periods.

In addition, under MFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in
the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with
only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.

(b) With regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss,
MFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable
to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the
recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would
create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial
liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Under MFRS 139, the entire amount
of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as fair value through profit or loss is
presented in profit or loss.

(c) In relation to the impairment of financial assets, MFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model, as
opposed to an incurred credit loss model under MFRS 139. The expected credit loss model requires an
entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting
date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no longer necessary for
a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

(d) The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting mechanisms
currently available in MFRS 139. Under MFRS 9, greater flexibility has been introduced to the types of
transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify
for hedging instruments and the types of risk components of non-financial items that are eligible for hedge
accounting. In addition, the effectiveness test has been overhauled and replaced with the principle of
an ‘economic relationship’. Retrospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is also no longer required.
Enhanced disclosure requirements about an entity’s risk management activities have also been introduced.

The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of MFRS 9 and plans to adopt the new
standard on the required effective date.

MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

MFRS 15 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from
contracts with customers. MFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including MFRS
118 Revenue, MFRS 111 Construction Contracts and the related Interpretations when it becomes effective.

The core principle of MFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise 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. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to
revenue recognition:

(a) Step 1 : Identify the contract(s) with a customer.


(b) Step 2 : Identify the performance obligations in the contract(s).
(c) Step 3 : Determine the transaction price.
(d) Step 4 : Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s).
(e) Step 5 : Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
54 STATEMENTS

Under MFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when
‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.
Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in MFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore,
extensive disclosures are required by MFRS 15.

The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of MFRS 15 and plans to adopt the new
standard on the required effective date.

MFRS 16 Leases

MFRS 16 Leases supersedes MFRS 117 Leases and the related interpretations. Under MFRS 16, a lease is a
contract (or part of a contract) that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of
time in exchange for consideration.

MFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases by the lessee as either finance leases (on balance sheet) or
operating leases (off-balance sheet). MFRS 16 requires a lessee to recognise a “right-of-use” of the underlying
assets and lease liability reflecting future lease payments for most leases.

The right-of-use asset is depreciated in accordance with the principle in MFRS 116 Property, Plant and Equipment
and the lease liability is accreted over time with interest expense recognised in the income statement.

For lessors, MFRS 16 retains most of the requirements in MFRS 117. Lessors continue to classify all leases as
either operating leases or finance leases, and account for them differently.

A lessee can choose to apply the standard using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition
approach. MFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with early application
permitted, but not before an entity applies MFRS 15.

The Group is in the process of assessing the impact on the financial statements arising from the above standards.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Group have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 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 and the Company take 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 financial statements is determined on such a
basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of FRS 2, leasing transactions
that are within the scope of FRS 117, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not
fair value, such as net realisable value in FRS 102 or value in use in FRS 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 assess 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.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rates prevailing at the date
of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency
spot rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.

All differences are taken to the profit or loss.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities, including structured entities, controlled by the Company. The financial statements of
subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until
the date that control ceases.

Control is defined as follows:

• Control exists when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with
the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

• Potential voting rights are considered when assessing control only when such rights are substantive.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
56 STATEMENTS

• The Company considers it has de facto power over an investee when, despite not having the majority
of voting rights, it has the current ability to direct the activities of the investee that significantly affect the
investee’s return.

Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less any
impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of investments
includes transaction costs.

The accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted
by the Group.

Business combinations

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

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

• the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus

• the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus

• if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the
acquiree; less

• the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interests in the acquiree
either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs
in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Associates

Associates are entities, including unincorporated entities, in which the Group has significant influence, but not
control, over the financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method
less any impairment losses. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial
statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associates,
after adjustments, if any, to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant
influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.

When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of that interest
including any long-term investments is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued
except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the associate.

When the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate, any retained interest in the former
associate at the date when significant influence is lost is measured at fair value and this amount is regarded as
the initial carrying amount of a financial asset. The difference between the fair value of any retained interest
plus proceeds from the interest disposed of and the carrying amount of the investment at the date when equity
method is discontinued is recognised in the profit or loss.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS 57

When the Group’s interest in an associate decreases but does not result in a loss of significant influence, any
retained interest is not re-measured. Any gain or loss arising from the decrease in interest is recognised in
profit or loss. Any gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are also reclassified
proportionately to the profit or loss if that gain or loss would be required to be reclassified to profit or loss on
the disposal of the related assets or liabilities.

Investments in associates are measured in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less any
impairment losses unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of the investments
includes transaction costs.

Joint arrangements

Joint arrangements are arrangements of which the Group has joint control, established by contracts requiring
unanimous consent for decisions about the activities that significantly affect the arrangements’ returns.

Joint arrangements are classified and accounted for as follows:

• A joint arrangement is classified as “joint operation” when the Group or the Company has rights to the
assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to an arrangement. The Group and the Company account
for each of its share of the assets, liabilities and transactions, including its share of those held or incurred
jointly with the other investors, in relation to the joint operation.

• A joint arrangement is classified as “joint venture” when the Group has rights only to the net assets of the
arrangements. The Group accounts for its interest in the joint venture using the equity method.

Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable
directly or indirectly to the equity holders of the Company, are presented in the consolidated statement of
financial position and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the
owners of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group is presented in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or loss and the
comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and the owners of the Company.

Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests
even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

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

Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted associates and joint ventures are eliminated
against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investees. Unrealised losses are eliminated in
the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
58 STATEMENTS

Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at
exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are
retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of the reporting date except for those that
are measured at fair value that are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that
the fair value was determined.

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences
arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments, which are recognised in other comprehensive
income.

Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”)

The assets and liabilities of operations denominated in functional currencies other than RM, including goodwill
and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the end of the
reporting period, except for goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from business combinations before 1
January 2006 which are reported using the exchange rates at the dates of the acquisitions. The income and
expenses of foreign operations, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign
exchange translation reserve (“FETR”) in equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of, such that control,
significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the FETR related to that foreign operation
is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal.

When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign
operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount
is reclassified to profit or loss.

In the consolidated financial statements, when settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a
foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses
arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and
are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the FETR in equity.

Financial instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only
when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial instrument is recognised initially, at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at
fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the
financial instrument.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS 59

Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement

The Group and the Company categorise financial instruments as follows:



Financial assets

(a) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables category comprises debt instruments with fixed and determinable payment that are
not quoted in an active market.

Financial assets categorised as loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method.

(b) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale category comprises investment in equity and debt securities instruments that are not held
for trading.

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

All financial assets are subject to review for impairment.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

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. Ordinary shares and warrants are equity instruments.

(a) Ordinary Shares

Ordinary shares are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct attributable transactions costs.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the
period which they are declared.

(b) Warrants

Warrants are classified as equity instruments. The issuance of ordinary shares upon exercise of the
warrants is treated as new subscription of ordinary shares for a consideration equivalent to the exercise
price of the warrants.

Derecognition

A financial asset or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows
from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
60 STATEMENTS

substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between
the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any
new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in
profit or loss.

A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract
is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the
carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration
paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other
costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs
of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. The cost of self-
constructed assets also includes the cost of materials and direct labour. For qualifying assets, borrowing
costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs. Purchased software
that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

The cost of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on
fair value at acquisition date. The fair value of property is the estimated amount for which a property
could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction after proper
marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The
fair value of other items of plant and equipment is based on the quoted market prices for similar items
when available and replacement cost when appropriate.

When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are
accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and is recognised net
within “other operating incomes” and “other operating expenses” respectively in profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent costs

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

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual
assets are assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset,
then that component is depreciated separately.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS 61

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each
component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter
of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership
by the end of the lease term. Freehold land is not depreciated. Property, plant, and equipment under
construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are at the following annual rates:

Freehold buildings 2%
Leasehold buildings 10%
Leasehold improvement on building 50%
Plant and machinery, moveable cabins and tool implements 6% - 33%
Computers 20%
Computer software 10%
Electrical installation and renovation 10%
Air-conditioner, signboard, furniture and fittings 10%
Motor vehicles and crane 20%
Flying equipment and office equipment 10%
Simulators 10%
Refueller and skid tank 10%
Aircrafts 4%
Aircrafts engines 50%

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

Leased assets

(i) Finance lease

As lessee

Leases in terms of which the Group assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal
to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial
recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense
and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the
lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining
term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed.

As lessor

The Group shall recognise assets held under a finance lease in its statement of financial position and
present them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.

Under a finance lease substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to legal ownership are transferred
by the Group, and thus the lease payment receivable is treated by the Group as repayment of principal
and finance income to reimburse and reward the Group for its investment and services.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
62 STATEMENTS

Initial direct costs are often incurred by the Group and include amounts such as commissions, legal fees
and internal costs that are incremental and directly attributable to negotiating and arranging a lease.
These costs are included in the initial measurement of the finance lease receivable and reduce the amount
of income recognised over the lease term.

(ii) Operating lease

Leases, where the Group or the Company does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership are classified as operating leases and, except for property interest held under operating lease,
the leased assets are not recognised in the statement of financial position. Property interest held under an
operating lease, which is held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, is classified as
investment property and measured using fair value model.

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

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially
recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial
recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired
separately.

Intangible asset acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight line basis over
their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of
each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses.

Derecognition of intangible assets

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use
or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when
the asset is derecognised.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indications
exist, the carrying amount of intangible assets is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable
amount. Accounting policy on the impairment of other assets is as stated in Note 3.

Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial
position if, and only if, there is, currently an enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there
is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS 63

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of
the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or
groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is 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 its carrying amount, 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 for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or
loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in the subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the
determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Deferred costs

Deferred costs relate to training expenses incurred for sponsored students over 18 months under the course
duration. Such costs are amortised on a straight line method over 5 years after the completion of sponsored
students’ course as the sponsored students are bound for 5 years. In the case of breach of contract, all the
related costs will be charged to profit or loss.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a first-in-first-out basis
and includes all expenses incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition which
consists of cost of purchase and transportation cost.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs
necessary to make the sale.

Property development costs

Property development costs comprise all costs that are directly attributable to development activities or that can
be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities. Costs consist of land and construction costs and other
development costs including related overheads and capitalised borrowing costs.

When the financial outcome of a development activity can be reliably estimated, development revenue and
costs are recognised in the profit or loss by reference to the stage of development activity at the reporting date.

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

Any expected loss on a development project is recognised as an expense immediately.


APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
64 STATEMENTS

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

Accrued billings as current assets represent the excess of revenue recognised in the profit or loss over billings
to purchasers. Progress billings as current liabilities represent the excess of billings to purchasers over revenue
recognised in profit or loss.

Non-current asset held for sale

Non-current asset that is expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use
is classified as held for sale.

Classification of the asset as held for sale occurs only when the asset is available for immediate sale in its
present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary and the sale must be highly probable.
Management must be committed to a plan to sell the assets which are expected to qualify for recognition as
a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. Action required to complete the plan should
indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn.

Immediately before classification as held for sale, the asset is remeasured in accordance with the Company’s
accounting policies. Thereafter generally the asset is measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair
value less costs to sell.

Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are
recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

In addition, equity accounting of equity accounted associate ceases once classified as held for sale.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits placed with licensed banks. For
the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts
and pledged deposits.

Impairment

(i) Financial assets

All financial assets (except for investments in subsidiaries, investments in associates and joint ventures)
are assessed at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result
of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. Losses expected
as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised. For an investment in an equity
instrument, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is an objective evidence
of impairment. If any such objective evidence exists, then the impairment loss of the financial asset is
estimated.

For the determination of impairment on receivables, the Group assesses individually each receivable
whether objective evidence of impairment exists at the end of each reporting period. An impairment
loss in respect of loans and receivables is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference
between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at
the asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of
an allowance account.

An impairment loss in respect of available-for-sale financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and
is measured as the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment
and amortisation) and the asset’s current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised.
Where a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised in other
comprehensive income, the cumulative loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to
profit or loss.

An impairment loss in respect of unquoted equity instrument that is carried at cost is recognised in profit
or loss and is measured as the difference between the financial asset’s carrying amount and the present
value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial
asset.

Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classified as
available for sale is not reversed through profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively
related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment
loss is reversed, to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount
would have been, had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The
amount of the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Other assets

The carrying amounts of other assets (except for inventories, amount due from contract customers,
deferred tax assets and investment property measured at fair value) are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists,
then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment and at least annually, and
whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that
generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other
assets or cash-generating units. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purpose of goodwill
impairment testing, cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that
the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored
for internal reporting purposes. The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of
impairment testing, is allocated to the group of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from
the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value-in-use and its fair
value less costs of disposal. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to
their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
66 STATEMENTS

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit
exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-
generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-
generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other
assets in the cash-generating unit (groups of cash-generating units) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses
recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that
the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in
the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment
loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the financial
year in which the reversals are recognised.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and the
Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments.

Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.

Share premium includes any premiums received on issue of share capital. Any transaction costs associated
with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits.

Warrant reserve is valued based on the theoretical fair value which was arrived by using Black Scholes Option
Pricing Model. The issuance of the ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants is treated as new subscription
of ordinary shares for the consideration equivalent to the exercise price of the warrants.

Discount on shares is a reserve account that is created to preserve the par value of the ordinary shares.
Unappropriated profits/accumulated losses include all current period and prior years’ unappropriated profits/
accumulated losses. All transactions with owners of the Company are recorded separately within equity.

Employee benefits

(i) Short-term employee benefits

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

A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing
plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past
service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS 67

(ii) Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group and the Company
pay fixed contributions into independent entities of funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation
to pay further contribution if any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees’ benefits
relating to employees’ services in the current and preceding financial period/years.

Such contributions are recognised as expenses in the profit or loss as incurred. As required by law,
companies in Malaysia make such contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”).

(iii) Defined benefit plans

The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plan of an overseas subsidiarys is calculated by
estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods and
discounting that amount.

The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using
the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the
recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future
refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of
economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, are
recognised immediately in other comprehensive income. The Group determines the net interest expense
or income on the net defined liability for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the
defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then net defined benefit liability,
taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability during the period as a result of
contributions and benefit payments, if any.

Net interest expense and other expenses relating to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit
that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The Group recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement
occurs.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when there is a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated
reliably, as a result of a past event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Any reimbursement that the Group or the Company can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with
respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of
the related provisions.

Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer
probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provisions are
reversed. Where the effect of the time of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
68 STATEMENTS

rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase
in the provisions due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Deferred income

Deferred income represents course fee billed in advance whereas the services have not been rendered as at
reporting date.

Revenue and other income recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the
Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration
received or receivable.

i) Management fees

Management fees are recognised when services are rendered.

ii) Course fees

Revenue from course fees is recognised over the period of the course in profit or loss.

iii) Rendering of services

Revenue is recognised upon rendering of services and when the outcome of the transaction can be
estimated reliably.

iv) Rental income

Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

v) Interest income

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

vi) Construction contracts

Contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work,
claims and incentive payments, to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be
measured reliably. As soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract
revenue and contract costs are recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of
the contract. Contract expenses are recognised as incurred unless they create an asset related to future
contract activity. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to the proportion that contract costs
incurred for work performed to-date bear to the estimated total contract costs.

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised
only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a
contract is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Significant judgement is exercised in determining the
percentage of completion, the extent of the costs incurred, the estimated total contract value and costs,
as well as the recoverability of the contract projects.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS 69

vii) Management fees

Management fees are recognised when services are rendered.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which
are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are
capitalised as part of the cost of those assets.

The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure
for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare
the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases
when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are
interrupted or completed.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on
qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

Income tax

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 financial year. Taxable profit differs from profit
as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income
or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The
Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary 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. 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 sufficient future taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.

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 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 Company expects, at the end of
the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
70 STATEMENTS

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the
extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset
to be recovered.

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 Company 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 current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity respectively.

Goods and Service Tax

Goods and Services tax (“GST”) is a consumption tax based on value-added concept. GST is imposed on
goods and services at every production and distribution stage in the supply chain including importation of
goods and services, at the applicable tax rate of 6%. Input GST that the Company paid on purchases of
business inputs can be deducted from output GST.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of GST except:

• where the GST incurred in a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the authority, in which
case the GST is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the assets or as part of the expense items
as applicable: and

• receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables
or payables in the statement of financial position.

Earnings per ordinary share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares (“EPS”).

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by
the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held.
Diluted EPS, if any, is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all
dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise of warrants and options.

Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may
earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of
the Group’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief
operating decision maker, which in this case is the Managing Director of the Group, to make decisions about
resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial
information is available.

Contingent liabilities

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

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group and of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 4,
management is required to make judgements, 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.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
72 STATEMENTS

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.

Critical judgements in applying the Group’s and the Company’s accounting policies

In the process of applying the Group’s and the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in Note
4 above, management is 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.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Information about the significant estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition
and measurement of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are discussed below.

Useful lives of depreciable assets

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful life. Management
estimates the useful lives of the plant and equipment to be within 2 to 50 years and reviews the useful lives
of the depreciable assets at each reporting date. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological
developments could impact the economic useful life and the residual values of these assets, therefore future
depreciation charges could be revised.

The carrying amount of the Group’s and the Company’s property, plant and equipment at the reporting date
is disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements.

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In estimating net realisable value,
management takes into account the most reliable evidence available at the times the estimates are made.

Construction contract

Construction contract accounting requires reliable estimation of the cost to complete the contract and reliable
estimate of the stage of contract completion. Using experience gained on each contract and taking into
account of the expectation of the time and material required to complete the contract, management used
budgeting tools to estimate the profitability of the contract at any time.

Construction contract accounting requires that variations, claims and incentive payments only be recognised
as contract revenue to the extent that it is probable that they will be accepted by the customers. As the approval
process often takes some time, judgment is required to be made of its probability and revenue is recognised
accordingly.

Impairment of non-financial assets

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assets or cash-generating units exceeds its
recoverable amount. To determine the recoverable amount, management estimates expected future cash flows
from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value
of those cash flows. In the process of measuring expected future cash flows, management makes assumptions
about future operating results. The actual results may vary, and may cause significant adjustments to the
Company’s assets within the next financial period.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS 73

In most cases, determining the applicable discount rate involves estimating the appropriate adjustment to
market risk and the appropriate adjustment to asset-specific risk factors.

Impairment of goodwill

The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of
the value-in-use of the subsidiary companies to which goodwill is allocated. Estimating a value-in-use amount
requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the subsidiary companies
and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Impairment of loans and receivables

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

Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated
based on historical loss experience of assets with similar credit risk characteristics.

Deferred tax assets

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

Income taxes

Significant judgement is involved in determining the Company-wide provision for income taxes. There are
certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary
course of business. The Company recognises tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes
will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially
recognised, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such
determination is made.

Leases

In applying the classification of leases in MFRS 117, management considers the lease transaction is not always
conclusive, management uses judgement in determining whether the lease is a finance lease arrangement that
transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership, whether the lease term is for the major
part of the economic life of the asset even if title is not transferred and others in accordance with MFRS 117
Leases.

Impairment testing for cash-generating units containing goodwill

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group’s operating divisions which
represent the lowest cash-generating unit level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal
management purposes.

The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each subsidiary are as follows:

Group

RM RM

Flight education and training industry - 20,191


Engineering work for oil and gas industry - 18,610,836

The recoverable amount for goodwill was based on its value-in-use, determined by discounting the future cash
flows generated from the continuing use of the Group’s cash-generating unit and was based on the following
key assumptions:

There is no carrying amount of the cash-generating unit during the period to determine (2016: flight education
and training industry) amounting to RM Nil (2016: RM 20,191) was determined to be higher than its recoverable
amount of RM Nil (2016: RM 20,191). Therefore, an impairment loss of RM Nil (2016: RM 2,674,752) was
recognised in the profit or loss was due to written-off as disclosed in Note 39 (f) to the financial statements.
With regards to the assessments of value-in-use of these cash-generating unit, management believes that no
reasonably possible changes in any of the key assumptions would cause the carrying value of this unit to differ
materially from their recoverable amounts except for the changes in prevailing operating environment which
is not ascertainable.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Company considers any change in the credit
quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the end of reporting period. The
concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated.

The Group has trade receivables amounting to RM12,303,059 (2016: RM13,423,170) that are past due at
the reporting date but not impaired. The Group has put in place a credit control measure for flight education

settlement of their outstanding fees. This will inevitably reduce chances of nonpayment of fees by students.
For customers other than students, these relate to a number of independent customers from whom there is no
recent history of default. No impairment has been made as the directors are of the view that the amounts are
recoverable.

The Group’s policy is to make full allowance for all trade receivables that are in dispute, under legal action
or where recoveries are considered to be doubtful.

The net carrying amount of trade receivables is considered a reasonable approximate of fair value. Trade
receivables that are individually determined to be impaired at the reporting date relate to debtors that are in
significant financial difficulties and have defaulted on payments. These receivables are not secured by any
collateral or credit enhancements.

92 STATEMENTS

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled
to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. All ordinary shares rank equally with regard to the
Company’s residual assets.

The Company’s issued and fully paid-up share capital comprises ordinary shares with a par value of RM0.05
each. The new Companies Act 2016 (Act), which came into operation on 31 January 2017, introduces the
“no par value” regime. Accordingly, the concepts of “authorised share capital” and “par value” have been
abolished.

In accordance with the transitional provisions of the Act, the amount standing to the credit of the Company’s
share premium account and capital redemption reserve has become part of the Company’s share capital.
These changes do not have an impact on the number of shares in issue or the relative entitlement of any of the
shareholders.

However, the Company has a period of 24 months from the effective date of the Act to use the existing
balances credited in the share premium account and capital redemption reserves in a manner as specified by
the Act. Upon effective date of the Companies Act, 2016 on 31 January 2017, the ordinary shares no longer
have any par value.

During the financial year, the Company increased its issued and paid-up share capital from RM 23,866,639
to RM 57,569,255 by way of:

(i) issuance of 71,500,000 new ordinary shares for cash arising from the exercise of options under the
Company’s ESOS;

(ii) issuance of 226,299,873 new ordinary shares of RM 0.05 each at the issue price of RM 0.05 through
a creditors capitalisation for a total consideration of RM 11,314,994 as a partial settlement to creditors.

(iii) issuance of 257,500,000 new ordinary shares of RM 0.05 each at the issue price of RM0.05 through a
directors capitalisation for a total consideration of RM 12,875,000 as a partial settlement of the amount
due to Director.

(iv) issuance of 206,526,000 new ordinary shares of RM 0.20 each at the issue price of RM 0.0194
through a private placement for a total consideration of RM 4,006,604 for working capital purposes.

(v) issuance of 103,263,000 new ordinary shares of RM 0.20 each at the issue price of RM 0.0187
through a private placement for a total consideration of RM 1,931,018 for working capital purposes.

The APFT Berhad Employees’ Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”) was approved by the shareholders at the
Extraordinary General Meeting held on 17 September 2014 and became effective on 31 December 2014.
On 13 March 2017, the Company issued options under the new ESOS for eligible Executive Directors and
Employees of APFT Berhad and its subsidiaries.

The principal features of the ESOS are as follows:

(i) full-time and confirmed employees within APFT Group and executive directors of APFT (“eligible person”)
are eligible to participate in the ESOS. Participation, however, is subject to the discretion of the Option
Committee.

(ii) the ESOS shall be in force for a period of 5 years from 13 March 2017 provided that before the final
year of the ESOS, the Option Committee may extend for up to another 5 years the duration of ESOS
commencing from the expiration of the original 5 years. The duration of the ESOS shall not be more than
10 years from its effective date.

FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS 93

(iii) the total number of new shares to be allotted under the ESOS shall not exceed 15% of the issued and
paid-up share capital of the Company at any point of time during the duration of the ESOS.

(iv) the subscription price for the new shares under the ESOS shall be the volume weighted average market
price of the shares as quoted on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad for the five
(5) market days immediately preceding the date of offer of the options, or at par value of the share,
whichever is higher.

(v) the aggregate number of shares to be offered to an eligible person shall be determined at the discretion of
the Option Committee after taking into consideration, amongst other factors, the position, performance,
seniority and length of service that the eligible person has rendered and subject to the maximum allowable
allotment of shares for each eligible person.

(vi) the number of shares comprised in the ESOS options which remain unexercised or the exercise prices
or both may be adjusted following any alteration in the capital structure of the Company during the
option period, whether such alteration is by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves, right issues,
consolidation of shares, sub-division of shares or reduction of capital or otherwise howsoever taking
place.

(vii) the options shall not carry any right to vote at any general meeting of the Company and a grantee shall
not be entitled to any dividends, rights or other entitlements on his/her unexercised options.

(viii) the options granted under ESOS are not assignable.

(ix) there is no restriction on the grantee in exercising their ESOS options or selling their APFT shares allotted
and issued pursuant to the exercise of their options. Upon a sale of APFT shares, if the net proceeds from
the disposal is less than the Exercise Value (being the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of APFT
Shares sold), the entire net proceeds will be released to the grantee. However, if the net proceeds is more
than the Exercise Value, an amount equivalent to the Exercise Value will be released to the grantee. The
balance proceeds not released to the grantee will be placed in an interest-bearing account for the benefit
of the grantee. The balance proceeds (being the net proceeds less Exercise Value) together with the
attributable interest, if any, will be released to the grantee over the period of the scheme in accordance
with APFT’s ESOS By-Law on each anniversary of the scheme.

(x) the new shares allotted upon any exercise of the options shall rank pari passu in all respects with the
then existing issued and paid-up ordinary shares of the Company except that the new shares so issued
will not be entitled for any dividends, rights, allotments and/or other distributions, the entitlement date of
which is prior to the date of allotment of the new shares.

(xi) no grantee shall participate at any time in more than one ESOS implemented by any company within the
APFT Group.

(xii) options to subscribe for ordinary shares under the ESOS were granted on the following dates:

Share Premium/Capital Reserve

In accordance with the transitional provisions of the Act, the amount standing to the credit of the Company’s
share premium account and capital redemption reserve has become part of the Company’s share capital.

shareholders.

existing ordinary shares held in the Company. The warrants were listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia
Securities on 19 July 2013. The warrants issued were constituted by a Deed Poll dated 28 June 2013.

The main features of the warrants are as follows:

new ordinary share of RM0.20 each in the Company at an exercise price of RM0.40.

ii) the exercise price and the number of warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of alteration to the

v) st the expiry of the exercise period which is on 16 July 2018, any warrants which have not been
exercised will lapse and cease to be valid for any purpose.

on shares arose from the allocated fair value of the 78,500,000 warrants issued.

value of about RM0.245 each per warrant, which was arrived by using Black Scholes Option Pricing Model.

37.2 Financial risk management

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

• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk
• Market risk

37.3 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial
instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises
principally from its trade and other receivables, bank balances and deposits placed with licensed
banks, concession service receivable, amount due from joint venture and advances to ultimate
holding company, associate and affiliates. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises principally
from trade and other receivables, bank balances and deposits placed with licensed banks and
advances to ultimate holding company, subsidiaries and affiliates.

Receivables

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing
basis.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral



As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from receivables
is represented by the carrying amounts in the statement of financial position.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS 115

Management has taken reasonable steps to ensure that trade receivables that are neither past due
nor impaired are stated at their realisable values. A significant portion of 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.

Impairment losses

The Group maintains an ageing analysis in respect of trade receivables only. The ageing of trade
receivables (current and non-current) as at the end of the reporting period was:

There is allowance made for impairment losses of trade receivables for the Group of RM4,508,688
(2016: RM4,476,374) during the financial period.

Financial guarantees

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

The Company provides unsecured financial guarantees to banks in respect of banking facilities
granted to certain subsidiaries. The Company monitors on an ongoing basis the results of the
subsidiaries and repayments made by the subsidiaries.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral

The maximum exposure to credit risk amounts to RM37,599,752 (2016: RM44,349,053) representing
the contract value of the project secured by another subsidiary as at the end of the reporting period.

The financial guarantee has not been recognised as the fair value on initial recognition was
immaterial since the financial guarantee provided by the Company did not contribute towards credit
enhancement of the subsidiary’s borrowing and finance lease payable in view of the securities
pledged by the subsidiary. In addition, there was no indication that another subsidiary could not
perform the contracts for works in accordance with the contacts’ term.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
116 STATEMENTS

Inter-company loans and advances

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

The Company provides unsecured loans and advances to subsidiaries and monitors the results of the
subsidiaries regularly.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral



As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their
carrying amounts in the statement of financial position as shown in Note 15 and Note 16.

Impairment losses

As at the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that the amounts due from subsidiaries
are not recoverable.

Cash and cash equivalents

The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible as the cash and cash equivalents
are placed with reputable banks which have high quality external credit ratings.

37.4 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall
due. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises principally from its various payables, loans and
borrowings.

The Group maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents and bank facilities deemed adequate by
the management to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities
when they fall due.

It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier,
or at significantly different amounts.

regularly monitor its exposure and keep this policy under review.

Exposure to foreign currency risk

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency (a currency other than the functional currency of Group
entities) risk, based on carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period was:

Group

Indonesia Rupiah - advances from the


associate - 1,043,261

Currency risk sensitivity analysis



The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s loss for the financial period to a
reasonably possible change in the IDR and USD exchange rates against the respective functional
currency of the Group, with all other variables held constant.

37.5.2 Interest rate risk

The Group’s fixed-rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes
in interest rates. The Group’s variable rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows
due to changes in interest rates. Short-term receivables and payables are not significantly exposed
to interest rate risk.
APFT Berhad
Annual Report 2018

FINANCIAL
120 STATEMENTS

The Group’s excess cash is invested in fixed deposits and other investments with tenure of less than
twelve (12) months, hence exposure to risk of change in their fair values due to changes in interest
rates is not significant.

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

The Company does not have a formal policy for managing interest rate risk. The exposure to interest
rate risk is monitored closely by the management.

Exposure to interest rate risk

The interest rate profile of the Group’s significant interest-bearing financial instruments, based on
carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period was:

Group

RM RM
Fixed rate instruments

Fixed deposits with licensed banks 112,625 112,625
Amount due to director - (6,429,129)
Amount due to non-controlling interest - (200,419)
Finance lease payables - (1,166,369)

Fixed rate instruments
Borrowings - (7,928,582)

Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis

(a) Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments

The Group only has fixed rate deposits placed with licensed banks with tenure of less than
twelve (12) months for financial assets. The Group does not account for fixed rate financial
assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at
the end of the reporting period would not affect profit or loss.

(b) Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

A change of +/-0.5% (2016: +/-0.5%) in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would
have increased/(decreased) equity and post-tax profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This
analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remained constant.

37.6 Fair value information

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short term receivables and payables and short-
term borrowings approximate fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these financial
instruments.

It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Group’s investment in unquoted shares due
to the lack of comparable quoted prices in an active market and the fair value cannot be reliably
measured.

Fair value hierarchy

No fair value has been disclosed as the Group and the Company does not have financial instruments
measured at fair value.
