Other statutory information
(a) Before the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statements of financial position
of the Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps:
(i) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making
of provision for doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that there were no known bad debts and that
adequate provision had been made for doubtful debts; and
(ii) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their value as shown in the accounting
records in the ordinary course of business had been written down to an amount which they might be
expected so to realise.
(b) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render:
(i) it necessary to write off any bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the financial
statements of the Group and of the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; and
(ii) the values attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
misleading.
(c) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which would
render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company
misleading or inappropriate.
(d) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this
report or the financial statements of the Group and of the Company which would render any amount stated
in the financial statements misleading.
(e) At the date of this report, there does not exist:
(i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial
year which secures the liabilities of any other person; or
(ii) any contingent liability of the Group or of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial
year.
(f) In the opinion of the directors:
(i) no contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the
period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which will or may affect the ability of the
Group or of the Company to meet their obligations when they fall due; and
(ii) no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the
end of the financial year and the date of this report which is likely to affect substantially the results of
the operations of the Group or of the Company for the financial year in which this report is made.

We have audited the financial statements of Golden Pharos Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial
position as at 31 December 2014 of the Group and of the Company, and statements of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the
Company for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory

Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements so as to give a true and
fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards
and the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement
of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal
control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the
Company as at 31 December 2014 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the
requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia.
In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia, we also report the following:
(a) In our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the
Company and its subsidiaries have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
(b) We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the financial
statements of the Company are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation
of the consolidated financial statements and we have received satisfactory information and explanations
required by us for those purposes.
(c) The auditors’ reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification and
did not include any comment required to be made under Section 174(3) of the Act.
Other reporting responsibilities
The supplementary information set out in Note 37 on page 118 is disclosed to meet the requirement of Bursa Malaysia
Securities Berhad and is not part of the financial statements. The directors are responsible for the preparation of the
supplementary information in accordance with Guidance on Special Matter No.1, Determination of Realised and
Unrealised Profits or Losses in the Context of Disclosure Pursuant to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Listing Requirement,
as issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“MIA Guidance”) and the directive of Bursa Malaysia Securities
Berhad. In our opinion, the supplementary information is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the
MIA Guidance and the directive of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

Other matters

Description beginning or after
Amendments to MFRS 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation

IC Interpretation 21: Levies 1 January 2014

The nature and impact of the new and amended MFRSs and IC Interpretation are described below:
Amendments to MFRS 132: Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off” and
“simultaneous realisation and settlement”. These amendments are to be applied retrospectively. These
amendments have no impact on the Group, since none of the entities in the Group has any offsetting
arrangements.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.2 Changes in accounting policies (continued)

These amendments provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the
definition of an investment entity under MFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and must be applied
retrospectively, subject to certain transition relief. The exception to consolidation requires investment
entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. These amendments have no impact

Adoption of the above Amendments and IC Interpretation did not have any significant effect on the

The directors expect that the adoption of the above Amendments and standards will have no material
impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company in the period of initial application
except as discussed below:
Amendments to MFRS 119 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions

The amendments to MFRS 119 clarify how an entity should account for contributions made by employees
or third parties to defined benefit plans, based on whether those contributions are dependent on the
number of years of service provided by the employee. For contributions that are independent of the
number of years of service, an entity is permitted to recognise such contributions as a reduction in the
service cost in the period in which the service is rendered, instead of allocating the contributions to the
periods of service. For contributions that are dependent on the number of years of service, the entity
is required to attribute them to the employees’ periods of service.
The directors of the Company do not anticipate that the application of these amendments will have
a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Amendments to MFRS 116 and MFRS 138: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and
Amortisation
The amendments clarify that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from
operating a business (of which the asset is part) rather than the economic benefits that are consumed
through the use of an asset. As a result, a revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property,
plant and equipment and may only be used in very limited circumstances to amortise intangible assets.
The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016,
with early adoption permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact to the Group
as the Group has not used a revenue-based method to depreciate its non-current assets.
2.3 Standards issued but not yet effective (continued)
Amendments to MFRS 101: Disclosure Initiatives
The amendments to MFRS 101 include narrow-focus improvements in the following five areas:
- Materiality
- Disaggregation and subtotals
- Notes structure
- Disclosure of accounting policies
- Presentation of items of other comprehensive income arising from equity accounted investments
The Directors of the Company do not anticipate that the application of these amendments will have
a material impact on the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements.
Amendments to MFRS 10, MFRS 12 and MFRS 128: Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception
The amendments clarify that the exemption from presenting consolidated financial statements applies
to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity, when the investment entity measures
all of its subsidiaries at fair value. The amendments further clarify that only a subsidiary that is not an
investment entity itself and provides support services to the investment entity is consolidated. In addition,
the amendments also provides that if an entity that is not itself an investment entity has an interest in
an associate or joint venture that is an investment entity, the entity may, when applying the equity
method, retain the fair value measurement applied by that investment entity associate or joint venture
to the investment entity associate’s or joint venture’s interests in subsidiaries.
MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
MFRS 15 establishes a new five-step models that will apply to 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 which 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.
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.
Either a full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Directors anticipate that the application of MFRS 15
will have no impact on the amounts reported and disclosures made in the the Company’s financial
statements.
MFRS 9 Financial Instruments
In November 2014, MASB issued the final version of MFRS 9 Financial Instruments which reflects all
phases of the financial instruments project and replaces MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement and all previous versions of MFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for
classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. MFRS 9 is effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. Retrospective application
is required, but comparative information is not compulsory. The adoption of MFRS 9 will have an effect on
the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but no impact on the classification
and measurement of the Group’s financial liabilities.

Annual Improvements to MFRS 2010–2012 Cycle
The Annual Improvements to MFRS 2010-2012 Cycle include a number of amendments to various MFRS,
which are summarised below. The Directors of the Company do not anticipate that the application of
these amendments will have a significant impact on the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements.
Standards Descriptions
MFRS 3 Business Combinations The amendments to MFRS 3 clarifies that contingent consideration
classified as liabilities (or assets) should be measured at fair value
through profit or loss at each reporting date, irrespective of
whether the contingent consideration is a financial instrument
within the scope of MFRS 9 or MFRS 139. The amendments are
effective for business combinations for which the acquisition
date is on or after 1 July 2014.
MFRS 116 Property, Plant and The amendments remove inconsistencies in the accounting
Equipment and MFRS 138 for accumulated depreciation or amortisation when an item
Intangible Assets of property, plant and equipment or an intangible asset is revalued.
The amendments clarify that the gross carrying amount is
adjusted in a manner consistent with the revaluation of the
carrying amount of the asset and that accumulated depreciation/
amortisation is the difference between the gross carrying amount
and the carrying amount after taking into account accumulated
impairment losses.
MFRS 124 Related Party Disclosures The amendments clarify that a management entity providing
key management personnel services to a reporting entity is a
related party of the reporting entity. The reporting entity should
disclose as related party transactions the amounts incurred
for the service paid or payable to the management entity for
the provision of key management personnel services.
which are summarised below. The Directors of the Company do not anticipate that the application
of these amendments will have a significant impact on the Group’s and the Company’s financial
statements.
MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement The amendments to MFRS 13 clarify that the portfolio exception in
MFRS 13 can be applied not only to financial assets and
financial liabilities, but also to other contracts within the scope of
MFRS 9 (or MFRS 139 as applicable).
which are summarised below. The Directors of the Company do not anticipate that the application
of these amendments will have a significant impact on the Group’s and the Company’s financial
statements.
MFRS 7 Financial Instruments: The amendment clarifies that a servicing contract that includes
Disclosures a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset.
An entity must assess the nature of the fee and arrangement
against the guidance for continuing involvement in MFRS 7 in
order to assess whether the disclosures are required.
In addition, the amendment also clarifies that the disclosures

in respect of offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
are not required in the condensed interim financial report.
2.4 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries as at the reporting date. The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation
of the consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company.
Consistent accounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
The Company controls an investee if and only if the Company has all the following:
(i) Power over the investee (i.e existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities of the investee);
(ii) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its investment with the investee; and
(iii) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, the Company considers
the following in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to
give it power over the investee:
(i) The size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings
of the other vote holders;
(ii) Potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;
(iii) Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
(iv) Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have,
the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made,
including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.
Subsidiaries are consolidated when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when
the Company loses control of the subsidiary. All intra-group balances, income and expenses and
unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.
Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interests even if that results in a deficit
balance.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control
over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s
interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests
in the subsidiaries. The resulting difference is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of
the Company.

2.4 Basis of consolidation (continued)
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss calculated as the difference between (i) the
aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and
(ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling
interest, is recognised in profit or loss. The subsidiary’s cumulative gain or loss which has been recognised
in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss or where
applicable, transferred directly to retained earnings. The fair value of any investment retained in the
former subsidiary at the date control is lost is regarded as the cost on initial recognition of the investment.
Business combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition
is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value
and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. The Group elects on a transaction-by-
transaction basis whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value
or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Transaction costs incurred are
expensed and included in administrative expenses.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the
acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed
to be an asset or liability, will be recognised in accordance with MFRS 139 either in profit or loss or as
a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it
will not be remeasured. Subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. In instances where the
contingent consideration does not fall within the scope of MFRS 139, it is measured in accordance with
the appropriate MFRS.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate
classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and
pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives
in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s
previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through
profit or loss.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred
and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests over the net identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired,
the difference is recognised in profit or loss. The accounting policy for goodwill is set out in Note 2.7.
2.5 Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has all the following:
(i) Power over the investee (i.e existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities of the investee);
(ii) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its investment with the investee; and
(iii) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost
less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds
and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss.
2.6 Investments in associates
An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power
to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint
control over those policies.
On acquisition of an investment in associate, any excess of the cost of investment over the Group’s
share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill
and included in the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair
value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee over the cost of investment is excluded
from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination
of the Group’s share of the associate’s profit or loss for the period in which the investment is acquired.
An associate is equity accounted for from the date on which the investee becomes an associate.
Under the equity method, on initial recognition the investment in an associate is recognised at cost, and
the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and
other comprehensive income of the associate after the date of acquisition. When the Group’s share
of losses in an associate equal or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group does not recognise
further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of
the associate.
Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its
associate are recognised in the Group’s financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investors’
interests in the associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of
an impairment of the asset transferred.
The financial statements of the associates are prepared as of the same reporting date as the Company.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.
After application of the equity method, the Group applies MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss
with respect to its net investment in the associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the
investment is tested for impairment in accordance with MFRS 136 Impairment of Assets as a single asset,
by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its
carrying amount. Any impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Reversal of an impairment loss is
recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in associates are accounted for at cost
less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds
and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss.
2.7 Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any
accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition
date, allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies
of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to
those units.
The cash-generating units to which goodwill have been allocated is tested for impairment annually
and whenever there is an indication that the cash-generating unit may be impaired. Impairment
is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each cash- generating unit (or
group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not reversed in subsequent periods.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that cash- generating
unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying
amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill
disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative fair values of the operations disposed
of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

2.8 Property, plant and equipment
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property,
plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Subsequent to recognition, property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation
and any accumulated impairment losses. When significant parts of property and equipment are required
to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives
and depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised
in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are
satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Work-in progress is also not
depreciated as this asset is not available for use. Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment
is provided for on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, at the following annual rates and useful life:
Leasehold land 50 - 60 years

Buildings 2% - 5%
Plant and machinery 6% - 20%
Furniture, fittings and equipment 5% - 20%
Motor vehicles 10% - 20%
Renovation 10%
Infrastructure 4% - 20%
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and
adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included
in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
2.9 Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.
If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the
Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are
separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units (“CGU”)).
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments
of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses
recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount
of any goodwill allocated to those units or groups of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of
the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis.
2.9 Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised
impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the
asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the
carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed
the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss
been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss, unless the asset is measured at
revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. Impairment loss on
goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
2.10 Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group
and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of
financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group and the Company determine the classification of their financial assets at initial recognition,
and the categories include financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, held-to- maturity, loans
and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.
The Group and the Company have classified their financial assets as loans and receivables and available-
for-sale financial assets.
(a) Loans and receivables
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market
are classified as loans and receivables.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when
the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having maturity dates
later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current.
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale are financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified
as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity
investments.
After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Any gains
or losses from changes in fair value of the financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive
income, except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments
and interest calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profit or loss. The
cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from
equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is derecognised.
Interest income calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss. Dividends
on an available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in profit or loss when the Company’s right
to receive payment is established.
Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured
at cost less impairment loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets unless they are expected
to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date.
Investments in quoted securities are designated as available-for-sale financial assets.

2.10 Financial assets (continued)
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets (continued)
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset
has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the
carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss
that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets
within the period generally established by regulation convention in the marketplace concerned.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the
trade date i.e the date that the Group and the Company commit to purchase or sell the asset.
2.11 Impairment of financial assets
The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence
that a financial asset is impaired.
(a) Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost
To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has
been incurred, the Group and the Company consider factors such as the probability of insolvency
or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. For
certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to
be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis based on
similar risk characteristics. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could
include the Group’s and the Company’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in
the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period and observable
changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between
the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at
the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all
financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced
through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable becomes uncollectible, it
is written off against the allowance account.
If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can
be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously
recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does
not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit
or loss.
(b) Unquoted equity securities carried at cost
If there is objective evidence (such as significant adverse changes in the business environment
where the issuer operates, probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the issuer)
that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at cost has been incurred, the amount of the
loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial
asset. Such impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods.
2.11 Impairment of financial assets (continued)
(c) Available-for-sale financial assets
Significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, significant financial difficulties of the issuer
or obligor, and the disappearance of an active trading market are considerations to determine
whether there is objective evidence that investment securities classified as available-for-sale
financial assets are impaired.
If an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its
cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment
loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from other comprehensive income and
recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss in the
subsequent periods. Increase in fair value, if any, subsequent to impairment loss is recognised
in other comprehensive income. For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are
subsequently reversed in profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be
objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss in profit or loss.
2.12 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the statements of financial position comprise cash at banks and on
hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less.
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-
term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdraft.
2.13 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition are accounted for as follows:
- Raw materials and consumable materials: purchase costs on a first-in first-out basis.
- Finished goods and work-in-progress: costs of direct materials and labour and a proportion of
manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. These costs are assigned on a
first-in first-out basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.14 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a
past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation
and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
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
provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using
a current pre tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting
is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
2.15 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered
into and the definitions of a financial liability.
Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the statements of financial position
when, and only when, the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of
the financial instrument. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilies at fair value through
profit or loss or other financial liabilities.
The Group and the Company have classified their financial liabilities as other financial liabilities.

2.15 Financial liabilities (continued)
The Group’s and the Company’s other financial liabilities include trade and other payables and loans
and borrowings.
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current
liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12
months after the reporting date.
For other financial liabilities, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are
derecognised, and through the amortisation process.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. When an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or
the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated
as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in
the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
2.16 Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated
statements of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the
recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle
the liabilities simultaneously.
2.17 Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due
in accordance with the tems of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantees are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that
are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial
guarantees are recognised as income in profit or loss over the period of the guarantee. If it is probable
that the liability will be higher than the amount initially recognised less amortisation, the liability is recorded
at the higher amount with the difference charged to profit or loss.
2.18 Employee benefits
(a) Short-term benefits

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

The Group participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the countries
in which it has operations. The Malaysian companies in the Group make contributions to the
Employee Provident Fund in Malaysia, a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to
defined contribution pension schemes are recognised as an expense in the period in which the
related service is performed.
(c) Defined benefit plans

The net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the present value of the defined
benefit obligation (derived using a discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds) at the
end of the reporting period reduced by the fair value of plan assets (if any), adjusted for any
effect of limiting a net defined benefit asset to the asset ceiling. The asset ceiling is the present
value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in
future contributions to the plan.
2.18 Employee benefits (continued)
(c) Defined benefit plans (continued)
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is determined separately for each
plan using the projected unit credit method.
Defined benefit costs comprise the following:

- Service cost
- Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset
- Remeasurements of net defined benefit liability or asset
Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on non-
routine settlements are recognised as expense in profit or loss. Past service costs are recognised
when plan amendment or curtailment occurs.
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in the
net defined benefit liability or asset that arises from the passage of time which is determined by
applying the discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds to the net defined benefit
liability or asset. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is recognised as expense
or income in profit or loss.
Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change in
the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability) are recognised
immediately in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Remeasurements
are recognised in retained earnings within equity and are not reclassified to profit or loss in
subsequent periods.
Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance
policies. Plan assets are not available to the creditors of the Group, nor can they be paid directly
to the Group. Fair value of plan assets is based on market price information. When no market
price is available, the fair value of plan assets is estimated by discounting expected future cash
flows using a discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and the
maturity or expected disposal date of those assets (or, if they have no maturity, the expected
period until the settlement of the related obligations).
The Group’s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a defined
benefit obligation is recognised as a separate asset at fair value when and only when reimbursement
is virtually certain.
(d) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement
date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits.
The Company recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either to
terminate the employment of current employees according to the detailed plan without possibility
of withdrawal; or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage
voluntary redundancy. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the
measurement of termination benefits is based on the number of employees expected to accept
the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the reporting date are discounted to
present value.
2.19 Leases
Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership
of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased asset or,
if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Any initial direct costs are also added to
the amount capitalised. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction
of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Finance charges are charged to profit or loss. Contingent rents, if any, are charged as expenses in the
periods in which they are incurred.
Leased assets are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. However, if there is no
reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the assets are
depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives and the lease terms.

2.19 Leases (continued)
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over
the lease term. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a reduction
of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
2.20 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset if they are directly attributable to
the acquisition, construction or production of that asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences
when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures
and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are substantially
completed for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period they are incurred. Borrowing costs
consist of interest and other costs that the Group and the Company incurred in connection with the
borrowing of funds.
2.21 Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group
and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration
received or receivable.
(a) Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon the transfer of significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the goods to the customer. Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there
are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or
the possible return of goods.
(b) Rental income
Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The aggregate costs
of incentives provided to lessees are recognised as a reduction of rental income over the lease
term on a straight-line basis.
(c) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.
(d) Management fees
Management fees are recognised when services are rendered.
(e) Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
2.22 Income taxes
(a) Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from
or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items
recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
2.22 Income taxes (continued)
(b) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting
date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial
reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except:
- where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset
or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
- in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,

associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary
differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not
reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of
unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will
be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of
unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except:
- where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from
the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination
and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit
or loss; and
- in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,

associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the
extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future
and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to
the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or
part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at
each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future
taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to
the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that
have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss.
Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity and deferred tax arising from a business combination
is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to
set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same
taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(c) Sales tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except:
- Where the sales tax incurred in a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from
the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost of
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
- Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax.
The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included
as part of receivables or payables in the statements of financial position.

2.23 Segment reporting
For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments based on their products
and services which are independently managed by the respective segment managers responsible for
the performance of the respective segments under their charge. The segment managers report directly
to the management of the Company who regularly review the segment results in order to allocate
resources to the segments and to assess the segment performance. Additional disclosures on each of
these segments are shown in Note 34, including the factors used to identify the reportable segments
and the measurement basis of segment information.
2.24 Share capital and share issuance expenses
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and
the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments.
Ordinary shares are recorded at the proceeds received, net of directly attributable incremental transaction
costs. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in
the period in which they are declared.
2.25 Contingencies
A contingent liability or asset is a possible obligation or asset that arises from past events and whose
existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future event(s) not
wholly within the control of the Group.
Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised in the statements of financial position of the Group.
2.26 Fair value measurements
The Group measures its financial instruments, such as, derivatives, at fair value at each reporting date.
Also, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortised cost are disclosed in Note 31(b).
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. The fair value measurement is
based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
(i) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

(ii) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability
to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient
data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising
the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorised within the fair value hierachy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is
significent to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group
determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re- assessing categorisation
(based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the
end of each reporting period.
2.27 Foreign currency
(a) Functional and presentation currency
The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency
of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”).
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is also
the Company’s functional currency.
(b) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional currencies of the
Company and its subsidiaries and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currencies
at exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the
reporting date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at
historical cost are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary

items at the reporting date are recognised in profit or loss.
3. Significant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and
estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the
asset or liability affected in the future.
3.1 Judgements made in applying accounting policies
There were no significant judgements made in applying the accounting policies of the Group which
may have significant effects of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
3.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
(a) Useful lives of plant and machinery
The cost of plant and machinery for the manufacture of wood related products is depreciated
on a straight-line basis over the assets’ useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of
these plant and machinery to be within 5 to 17 years. These are common life expectancies
applied in the industry. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments
could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future
depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying amount of the Group’s plant and machinery
at the reporting date is disclosed in Note 14.
(b) Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unabsorbed tax losses and unutilised capital allowances
to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses and
capital allowances can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine
the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and
level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
Assumptions about generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of

future cash flows. These depend on estimates of future production and sales volume, operating
costs, capital expenditure, dividends and other capital management transactions. Judgement
is also required about application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions
are subject to risks and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances
will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets recognised in the
statement of financial position and the amount of unrecognised tax losses and capital allowances.
The carrying amount of the Group’s deferred tax assets at the reporting date is disclosed in Note 18.

3. Significant accounting judgements and estimates (continued)
3.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
(c) Impairment of loans and receivables
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a
financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the
Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of
the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.
Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are
estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The
carrying amount of the Group’s loans and receivables at the reporting date is disclosed in Note 21.
(d) Defined benefit plan
The cost of defined benefit pension plan is determined using the actuarial valuations. The actuarial
valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases and mortality
rates. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. The carrying amounts of the Group’s
and of the Company’s defined benefit plan at the reporting date and related assumptions are
disclosed in Note 24.
(e) Impairment of investments in subsidiaries and associates
The Company assesses whether there are indicators of impairment for its investments in subsidiaries
and associates at each reporting date. The Company carried out the impairment test based on the
estimation of the higher of the value-in-use or the fair value less costs to sell of the cash generating
units (“CGU”) to which the investments in subsidiaries and associates belong to. Estimating the
recoverable amount requires the company to make an estimate of the expected future cash
flows from the CGU and also to determine a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the
present value of those cash flows.
The carrying amounts of the investments in subsidiaries and associates at the reporting date are
disclosed in Note 16 and Note 17 respectively.

(loss) for the year. The domestic statutory tax rates will be reduced to 24% from the current year’s rate of 25%
effective Year of Assessment 2016. The computation of deferred tax as at 31 December 2014 has reflected
this change.

13. Earnings/(loss) per share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit/(loss) for the year net of tax, attributable
to owners of the parent by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
The following reflect the profit/(loss) and share data used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings/
(loss) per share for the years ended 31 December:
Group
2014 2013
Profit/(loss) net of tax attributable to owners of the parent (RM’000) 14,846 (2,551)
Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue (‘000) 134,546 134,546
Basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share (sen) 11.03 (1.90)
The Group has no potential ordinary shares in issue as at the reporting date and therefore the basic and fully
diluted earnings/(loss) per share are the same.

Unutilised tax losses, unabsorbed capital allowances and unabsorbed reinvestment allowances
At the reporting date, the Group has unutilised tax losses, unabsorbed capital allowances and unabsorbed
reinvestment allowances of approximately RM181,597,000 (2013: RM181,338,000), RM14,004,000 (2013:
RM13,857,000) and RM2,601,000 (2013: RM2,601,000) respectively that are available for offset against future
taxable profits of the companies in which the losses arose, for which no deferred tax asset is recognised due
to uncertainty of its recoverability.

Section 44(5A) and Paragraph 75A of Schedule 3 of the Malaysia Income Tax Act 1967 which became effective
in Year of Assessment 2006 restricts the utilisation of unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances
where there is a substantial change in the ordinary shareholder of a company. The test for determining whether
there is a substantial change in shareholders is carried out by comparing the shareholders on the last day of
the basis period in which the unabsorbed losses/capital allowances were ascertained with those on the first
day of the basis period in which the unabsorbed losses/capital allowances are to be utilised.
Pursuant to guidelines issued by the Malaysian tax authorities in 2008, the Ministry of Finance has exempted
all companies from the provision of Section 44(5A) and Paragraph 75A of Schedule 3 except dormant
companies.

(b) Determination of fair value
Financial instruments that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying amounts are reasonable
approximation of fair value
The following are classes of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying
amounts are reasonable approximation of fair value:
Note

Trade and other receivables (current) 21
Borrowings (current) 23
Trade and other payables (current) 25
The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair values
due to their short-term nature.
The carrying amounts of the current portion of borrowings are reasonable approximations of fair values
due to the insignificant impact of discounting.
Amounts due from/to subsidiaries and associates and loans to/from subsidiaries
The fair values of these financial instruments are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows
at market incremental lending rate for similar types of lending, borrowing or leasing arrangements at
the reporting date.
Quoted equity instruments
Fair value is determined directly by reference to their published market bid price at the reporting date.
31. Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
(b) Determination of fair value (continued)
Financial guarantee
Fair value is determined based on probability weighted discounted cash flow method. The probability
has been estimated and assigned for the following key assumptions:
- The likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting within the guaranteed period;
- The exposure on the portion that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed
party’s default;
- The estimated loss exposure if the party guaranteed were to default.
(c) Valuation of financial instruments
The table below analyses financial instrument, measured at fair value at the end of the reporting date,
by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorised:

32. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group and the Company are exposed to financial risks arising from their operations and the use of financial
instruments. The key financial risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and
market price risk.

It is, and has been throughout the current and previous financial year, the Group’s policy that no derivatives
shall be undertaken except for the use as hedging instruments where appropriate and cost-efficient. The
Group and the Company do not apply hedge accounting.

The following sections provide details regarding the Group’s and Company’s exposure to the above-mentioned
financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks.

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

The Group’s objective is to seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to
increased credit risk exposure. The Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is
the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification
procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that
the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.
The Group does not have any significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty nor does
it have any major concertration of credit risk related to any financial instruments.


32. Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)
(a) Credit risk (continued)
Exposure to credit risk
The Group determines concentrations of credit risk by monitoring the country and industry sector profile
of its trade receivables on an ongoing basis. The credit risk concentration profile of the Group’s trade
receivables at the reporting date are as follows:
Group
2014 2013
RM’000 % of total RM’000 % of total
By industry sectors:
Harvesting, sawmilling and kiln drying

of timber 2,199 19% 2,317 17%
Manufacturing 9,415 81% 10,836 78%
Others 73 1% 673 5%
11,687 100% 13,826 100%
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Information regarding trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired is disclosed
in Note 21. Deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and investment securities that are neither
past due nor impaired are placed with or entered into with reputable financial institutions or companies
with high credit ratings and no history of default.
Financial assets that are either past due or impaired
Information regarding financial assets that are either past due or impaired is disclosed in Note 21.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations
due to shortage of funds. The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from
mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Group’s and the Company’s objective
is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of stand-by credit
facilities.
(b) Liquidity risk (continued)
Analysis of financial instruments by remaining contractual maturities
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s and the Company’s liabilities at the
reporting date based on contractual undiscounted repayment obligations.

Borrowings 93 170 263
Total undiscounted financial liabilities 36,629 171 36,800
(c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in market interest rates. As the Group and Company have no significant interest-bearing
financial assets, the Group’s and the Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially
independent of changes in market interest rates.
The Group’s and the Company’s interest-bearing financial assets are mainly short term in nature and
have been mostly placed in fixed deposits.
The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from interest-bearing borrowings. Borrowings at floating rates
expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining
a mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to fair
value interest rate risk. The information on maturity dates and effective interest rates of financial assets
and liabilities are disclosed in their respective notes.

Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk
At the end of the reporting year, if Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) interest rates had been 10 (2013: 10) basis
points higher with all other variables held constant, the Group’s profit net of tax would have been RM1,000
(2013: RM2,000) lower, arising mainly as a result of higher interest expense on floating rate loans and
borrowings. The assumed movement in basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the
currently observable market environment.

d) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Group has transactional currency exposure arising from sales or purchases that are denominated
in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, primarily RM. The foreign
currencies in which these transactions are denominated are mainly United States Dollars (“USD”).
The net unhedged financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group that are not denominated in their
functional currencies are as follows:

2014 2013
RM RM
Financial assets
Trade and other receivables 613,279 679,423
(e) Market price risk
Market price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s financial instruments will
fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than interest or exchange rates).
The Group is exposed to equity price risk arising from its investment in quoted equity instruments. The quoted
equity instruments in Malaysia are listed on the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. These instruments are
classified as available-for-sale financial assets. The Group does not have exposure to commodity price
risk, other than timber price.
33. Capital management
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating
and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions.
To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return
capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes
during the years ended 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013.
The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net of debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The
Group includes within net debt, loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and bank balances.
Capital includes equity attributable to the owners of the parent less fair value adjustment reserve.

34. Segment information
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services,
and has three reportable operating segments as follows:

(i) Harvesting, sawmilling and kiln drying of timber;
(ii) Manufacturing - manufacturing and trading of glass; and
(iii) Others - include investment holding, marketing and distribution agent and trading of wooden doors,
none of which are of a sufficient size to be reported separately.
Except as indicated above, no operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable
operating segments.
Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions
about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating
profit or loss which, in certain respects as explained in the table below, is measured differently from operating
profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. Group financing (including finance costs) and income
taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.
