MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholders,

It is my privilege to present to you the 2010 Annual Report and financial results of Grand-Flo Solution Berhad (“Grand-Flo”) for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 (“FY2010”).

The year under review had seen a modest economic recovery worldwide which made a positive impact across all industries. The improved business and consumer sentiment in turn played a major role in expanding Malaysia’s Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) by 7.2% in 2010, compared to the contraction of 1.7% in 2009.

The demand uptrend for products and services, as well as greater emphasis on operations efficiency and scalability helped to stimulate the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (“ICT”) industry in Malaysia. The International Data Corporation (“IDC”) reported that ICT spending charted 4.6% growth year-on-year to be worth USD 5.9 billion in 2010, compared to USD 5.6 billion in the previous year.

The Group recorded commendable top line growth of 47.6% year-on-year to RM68.65 million, from RM46.53 million the previous year

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMANCONT’D

Financial Performance

FY2010 had seen the Group aggressively implementing holistic plans to grow our various business segments. I am pleased to report that our strategies, coupled with the buoyant economic sentiment, bore fruits in the year under review, as demonstrated by our outstanding financial performance.

The Group recorded strong top line growth of 47.6% year-on-year to RM68.65 million, from RM46.53 million the previous year.

The Enterprise Data Collection and Collation System (“EDCCS”) or tracking solutions segment contributed 67.1% of the total revenue, while the labels business made up the balance 32.9%. Both segments recorded encouraging growth in sales volumes year-on-year, in line with the Group’s increasing reputation as an integrated tracking solutions provider in the region.

Group profits before tax charted higher expansion of 70.3% year-on-year to RM8.54 million from RM5.01 million previously, driven by sustained operating costs as well as improved share of associates in the year.

This resulted in group net profits doubling to RM7.39 million in the year under review compared to RM3.19 million in FY2009, an impressive performance that affirmed the Group’s entry into the high-growth phase. Correspondingly, earnings per share jumped to 5.18 sen from 2.38 sen previously.

The enhanced performance enabled the Group to strengthen its balance sheet as well. Shareholders’ equity improved by 30.4% to RM48.71 million from RM38.12 million, while total borrowings and cash and cash equivalents stood at RM13.98 million and RM3.89 million respectively. Therefore, group net gearing improved to 0.20 as at end-2010 from 0.24 previously.

The strong financial report card in FY2010 demonstrates the intended results of our growth strategies. Without a doubt, this success reiterate our commitment to attain even greater heights in the coming years.

Dividend

In appreciation of shareholders’ support, the Company has recommended a final tax exempt dividend of 10% or 1 sen per share in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2010. The proposed dividend is subject to shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Corporate Developments

Renounceable Rights Issue of Warrants

The Group had undertaken a renounceable rights issue of 67,912,455 five-year 2010/2015 warrants on the basis of one new warrant for every two ordinary shares of RM0.10 each held in Grand-Flo.

The rights issue was oversubscribed by 1.48 times, and was deemed completed on 28 April 2010 following the listing of and quotation for the warrants on Bursa Malaysia on the same day.

The rights issue was a gesture of appreciation to shareholders for their unwavering support to the Group.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMANCONT’D

Business Outlook

Although Asian economies are largely expected to stage continuous recovery in 2011, economists have also stated that growth rates could be tempered by the uncertainty stemming from inflationary pressures as well as widespread implications of the Japan earthquake on a global scale.

Against this backdrop, Grand-Flo intends to leverage on our strong foundation to continue on our growth path.

To this end, FY2011 will see the Group concentrating efforts on developing new industry segments and geographical markets, expanding recurring-revenue base, and prioritizing R&D efforts towards higher value-add solutions.

With these initiatives underway, we are optimistic of the Group’s prospects as we move towards a higher plane of growth for Grand-Flo.

Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”)

The Group has consistently kept a keen interest in the community at large, with a view towards upholding the wellbeing of all stakeholders.

To this end, on 6 November 2010, the Group paid a visit to the Agathians Shelter in Petaling Jaya, Selangor – a welfare home for boys that are orphaned, of single-parent, or neglected by their families. The home aims to provide them with a balanced childhood and a new start in life. The Grand-Flo team spent some time with the boys and donated money and various items to the home, including home-made foodstuff, grocery, clothing, school books and uniforms and a freezer full of ice-cream – much to the delight of the children (and some adults too).

Furthermore, the Group implements regular skills and technical training sessions to upgrade the technical knowledge of the team, as well as team building and self-development programmes to further enhance good aptitude and attitude of our team members. We believe that these initiatives go a long way in establishing a single-minded workforce towards enhancing productivity within the Group.

Corporate Governance

The Board opines that a business that upholds integrity and corporate governance would ensure long-term sustainability of the Group.

The Corporate Governance statement enclosed in this Annual Report details the measures taken to this respect.

Appreciation

I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest appreciation to the Board of Directors for the warm welcome since my appointment as Chairman on 1 July 2010. My sincerest thanks to the retiring Chairman, Dato’ Seri Dr. Mohd. Ariff bin Araff, for his years of contribution to the Group.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to our customers, business partners, bankers, shareholders and other stakeholders for their unwavering support.

Last but not least, we would like to extend our gratitude to the team at Grand-Flo, without whom we would not have achieved an excellent year. Kudos to the team, as we look forward to greater accomplishments ahead.

MANAGEMENT REVIEW

I am pleased to inform you that Grand-Flo achieved in Financial Year (“FY”) 2010 what we set out to do: to gain more ground in the local and regional markets, and effectively position ourselves as the preferred tracking solutions provider for our customers. The success of our growth strategies was accelerated by the buoyant economic sentiment in our target markets.

Domestic Market

The domestic market remained the Group’s major contributor, constituting 85.8% or RM58.96 million of group revenues in FY2010, demonstrating a strong 48.2% increase from local revenues of RM39.80 million in FY2009.

In term of product segmentation, sales of tracking solutions noted significant increase of 65.2% year-on-year to RM46.1 million in FY2010 from RM27.9 million previously, in line with higher spending on efficiency–enhancement systems by the business community.

The Group is heartened that we were able to undertake a number of projects for existing and new clients in the fast moving consumer goods (“FMCG”), retail and government-related sectors; thus playing a part in increasing their overall operations transparency and delivery. Furthermore, we expanded our footprint

into new sectors, such as healthcare – a venture that we are keen to grow further.

Our labels division under Labels Network Sdn. Bhd. (“Labels Network”), contributed RM22.60 million or 32.9% to FY2010 group revenues. This was substantially higher than the previous year’s RM18.66 million, partly due to the fact that FY2010 recorded 9 months’ full contribution from Labels Network as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group as compared to 55% in the previous year.

Not only that, as a recurring-revenue component, sales of our labels division saw a steady stream of repeat orders and larger clientele in tandem with broadening customer base in the tracking solutions segment.

The Group’s improved performance in the domestic market underscores our successful integration between the tracking solutions and labels businesses, and sets us on track for even higher achievements.

Regional Market

Hong Kong & China

Our Hong Kong and China operations under wholly-owned subsidiary CL Solutions (China) Limited (“CL Solutions”) saw a strong rebound in the economy, which positively impacted its results.

CL Solutions contributed 14.1% to FY2010 group revenues, recording sales growth of 43.8% year-on-year to RM9.69 million from RM6.74 million previously. This was the result of economic recovery, particularly in Hong Kong, and the awareness-creation activities undertaken in the year to promote the Company’s comprehensive and end-to-end product spectrum.

I am pleased to note that CL Solutions is making headway in its target markets, with its reputable clientele to date including global leaders in the Electronic Manufacturing Services, courier, power generation and FMCG sectors. This is a promising start and we hope to grow alongside our clients’ expansion in the future.

The Group improved performance in the domestic market underscored our successful integration and set us on the track for even higher achievements

MANAGEMENT REVIEWCONT’D

Research and Development (“R&D”)

The Group retained its focus to move up the value chain and maintain its competitive edge via R&D initiatives. To this end, the Group invested RM1.0 million in R&D efforts to upgrade and develop new solutions in FY2010, versus RM0.7 million incurred in the previous year.

Business Strategies

The tracking solutions industry is anticipated to continue recording high demand in FY2011, as both Government corporations and commercial entities begin to adopt technologies to resolve labour shortage issues and adequately face the keener competitive environment in the local or regional platform. Given this scenario, the Group remains resolute in expanding the Company further as a means to create higher value for all our stakeholders.

Our plans for FY2011 are summarised as follows:

• Todevelopnewmarketsegments

Based on our proven track record in successful implementing tracking solutions for clients, the Group intends to identify new markets to develop in order to broaden our revenue base and mitigate business risk.

To this end, we are actively bidding for projects in sectors such as aviation and banking, and believe that these new segments would complement the Group’s current mainstay in the FMCG, retail and manufacturing industries.

• Toexpandourregionalpresence

With direct presence in major cities in the Asia, the Group has undertaken numerous regional integration projects for multinational corporations thus far. We are ready to implement more of such deployments, and intend to step up cross-marketing of tracking solutions based on our past reference sites.

We believe that this approach would set us apart as a truly regional player in the integrated tracking solutions industry.

• Toenhanceourrecurringincomecomponent

We plan to enhance our recurring income component v i a a t w o -p r o n g e d approach: providing high-quality customer service to encourage repeat business, and continuing to boost sales in our labels segment.

On the latter, the Group not only intends to expand its labels production capacity but also to move up the value chain to produce higher-grade labels. Specifically, the Group is setting up a cleanroom in its production facility in Puchong, Selangor, in preparation to supply cleanroom labels to the semi-conductor sector and medical grade labels for the healthcare sector.

• TohoneakeenercompetitiveedgethroughR&D

Finally, the Group targets to sustain our R&D efforts to increase the efficacy of our solutions in adapting to customers’ growing needs.

With this, Grand-Flo will continue to execute intensive R&D to provide high-performance product lines to ably support our clientele.

With these strategies in place, the Group is optimistic of capturing larger market share in our target markets, and reinforcing our position as the preferred provider of comprehensive tracking solutions in the region.

Tan Bak Hong,Group Managing Director /Group President26 April 2011

Thailand&Vietnam

Although Thailand remained in socio-political uncertainty in FY2010, our associate, Simat Technologies Public Co., Ltd (“Simat”) made commendable progress with group revenues of THB1,133.1 million in FY2010 compared to THB543.2 million in FY2009. Net profits increased 57% to THB34.7 million in FY2010 from THB22.0 million previously.

Simat’s 40% associate in Vietnam – consisting of Sino Trading and Service Corporation (“Sino”), and High Rich Trading and Service Corporation (“High Rich”) – continued to make considerable inroads into the fledgling but fast-growing market, recording net profit of THB9.4 million, of which THB3.8 million was attributable to Simat. This was a significant rise from net profit of THB9.7 million achieved in FY2009, of which Simat’s portion amounted to THB3.9 million.

Indeed, the Simat Group expounded on its track record to serve wide-ranging clientele in retail, oil and gas, manufacturing, courier and market research sectors in the year under review.

Given our strong profile in the market, Simat aims to further expand its presence in Thailand and Vietnam by bidding for more projects in the public and private sectors, and thus play a pivotal role in enhancing the economy.

INTRODUCTION

The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance requires listed companies to maintain a sound system of internal control to safeguard shareholders’ investments and Group’s assets. Rule 15.26(b) of the ACE Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) requires the Board of Directors to include in its annual report a statement on the state of internal control.

The Board of Directors recognises the importance of good practice of corporate governance and is committed to maintain a sound system of internal control to safeguard shareholders’ investments and Group’s assets and is pleased to provide the following statement, which outlines the nature and scope of internal control of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2010.

BOARD RESPONSIBILITY

The Board of Directors recognizes the importance of a sound system of internal control and effective risk management practices to good corporate governance. The Board affirms its overall responsibility and reviews the adequacy and integrity of the system of internal control. However, it is recognized that such system is designed to improve the governance process to manage rather than eliminate risk.

KEY ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROL

The key elements of the Group’s internal control system include:-

INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION

The Board acknowledges the importance of the internal audit function and has outsourced its internal audit function to an independent business consulting firm as part of its efforts to provide adequate and effective internal control systems. The performance of internal audit function is carried out as per the annual audit plan approved by the Audit Committee. The internal audit function adopts a risk-based approach in addition to an independent and objective reporting on the state of the Group’s internal control system. The total cost incurred for the internal audit function is RM42,885 for the financial year ended 31 December 2010.

During the financial year, the internal audit reviews the Human Resources, Technology Development and Implementation function of the major subsidiaries. Internal audit has reviewed and commented on the effectiveness and adequacy of the existing control policies and procedures; and provided recommendations, if any, for the improvement of the control policies and procedures of the parent company and all the subsidiaries within the Group.

The board of directors continues to take measures to strengthen the control environment. In the year under review, there were no material losses, incurred as a result of weakness in the internal control that would require disclosure in this annual report. The Board will continue to improve and enhance the existing system of internal control to ensure its adequacy and relevance in safeguarding the shareholders’ interests and the Group’s assets.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management is an integral part of our business operations and this process goes through a review process by the Board. Based on the assessment of the internal control systems of the Group, the Board is of the view that there is an on-going process for identifying, evaluating, monitoring and managing the significant risks affecting the achievement of its business objectives in their daily activities throughout the financial year up to the date of approval of the annual report. The system of internal controls that the Group intends to enhance throughout the financial year provides a level of confidence on which the Board relies on for assurance.

REVIEW BY EXTERNAL AUDITORS

The External Auditors have reviewed this Statement on Internal Control and reported to the Board that nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the Statement is inconsistent with their understanding of the process adopted by the Board in reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the Group internal control system.

Date of issue Purpose of issue Class of share Number of shares Term of issue

The new ordinary shares issued during the financial year ranked pari passu in all respect with the existing ordinary shares of the Company.

There were no debentures issued during the financial year.

TREASURY SHARES

During the financial year, the Company repurchased 275,000 of its issued ordinary shares from the open market at an average price of RM0.3676 per share. The total consideration paid for the repurchase including transaction costs was RM100,684. The shares repurchased are being held as treasury shares in accordance with Section 67A of the Companies Act, 1965.

As at 31 December 2010, the Company held treasury shares at a total of 299,800 out of its 145,085,478 issued ordinary shares. Such treasury shares are held at a carrying amount of RM109,203 and further relevant details are disclosed in Note 18 to the financial statements.

WARRANTS 2010/2015

On 22 April 2010, the Company allotted and issued 67,912,455 new Warrants 2010/2015 at an issue price of RM0.02 each on the basis of 1 Warrant 2010/2015 for every 2 existing ordinary shares held in the Company on 30 March 2010 (“Rights Issue of Warrants”). Each Warrant 2010/2015 entitles the registered holder to subscribe for 1 new ordinary share in the Company at any time on or after 22 April 2010 to 21 April 2015, at an exercise price of RM0.25 in accordance with the Deed Poll. Any Warrant 2010/2015 not exercised by the date of maturity will lapse thereafter and cease to be valid for all purposes. As at the reporting date, all Warrants 2010/2015 were fully exercised.

The ordinary shares issued from the exercise of Warrants 2010/2015 shall rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issue ordinary shares of the Company except that they shall not be entitled to any dividends, rights, allotments and/or other distributions declared, the entitlement date of which is prior to the date of allotment of the new shares arising from the exercise of Warrants 2010/2015.

The Warrants 2010/2015 are constituted by a Deed Poll dated 12 March 2010.

OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION

Before the Statements of Comprehensive Income and Statements of Financial Position of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps:-

(a) to ascertain that 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 all bad debts had been written off and adequate provision had been made for doubtful debts; and

(b) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business including their values as shown in the accounting records of the Group and of the Company have 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:-

(a) which would render the amount written off for 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; or

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

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

(d) not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.

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

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

(b) any contingent liability of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year.

In opinion of the Directors:-

(a) no contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may affect the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as and when they fall due; or

(b) the results of the Company’s operations during the financial year were not substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature; and

(c) there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely to affect substantially the results of the operations of the Company for the financial year in which this report is made.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the fi nancial statements of Grand-Flo Solution Berhad, which comprise the Statements of Financial Position as at 31 December 2010 of the Group and of the Company, and the Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Changes in Equity and Statements of Cash Flows of the Group and of the Company for the fi nancial year then ended, and a summary of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory notes set out on pages 38 to 88.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

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

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fi nancial 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 fi nancial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of fi nancial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fi nancial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the fi nancial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of the fi nancial position of the Group and of the Company as of 31 December 2010 and of their fi nancial performance and cash fl ows for the fi nancial year then ended.

Funding Requirements and their interaction

Adoption of the above standards did not have any material effect on the financial performance or position of the Group and of the Company except for the following:-

FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures

Prior to 1 January 2010, information about financial instruments was disclosed in accordance with the requirements of FRS 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation. FRS 7 requires the disclosure of information about the significance of financial instruments for the Group’s and the Company’s financial position and performance, the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and the objectives, policies and processes for managing capital.

The Group and the Company have applied FRS 7 prospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions. Hence, the new disclosures have not been applied to the comparatives. The new disclosures are included throughout the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2010.

FRS 8 Operating Segments

FRS 8, which replaces FRS 1142004 - Segment Reporting, requires identification of operating segments based on internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. Currently, the Group identifies two sets of segments (business and geographical) using a risks and rewards approach, with the Group’s system of internal financial reporting to key management personnel serving only as the starting point for the identification of such segments. The Group has adopted FRS 8 retrospectively.

FRS 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised)

The revised FRS 101 introduces changes in the presentation and disclosures of financial statements. The Standard introduces the statement of comprehensive income, with all items of income and expense recognised in profit or loss, together with all other items of recognised income and expense recognised directly in equity, either in one single statement, or in two linked statements. The Group and the Company have elected to present this statement as one single statement.

A statement of financial position is required at the beginning of the earliest comparative period following a change in accounting policy, the correction of an error or the classification of items in the financial statements. The revised FRS 101 also requires the Group and the Company to make new disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the Group’s and the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital.

The revised FRS 101 was adopted retrospectively by the Group and the Company.

FRS 123 Borrowing Costs

FRS 123 removed the option of recognising borrowing cost directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset in profit or loss as available under the previous version of FRS 123. The Group and the Company shall capitalise such costs as part of the cost of that asset prospectively.

FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement

FRS 139 establishes principles for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy and sell non-financial items. The Group and the Company have adopted FRS 139 prospectively on 1 January 2010 in accordance with the transitional provisions. Any effects arising from the adoption of this Standard will be accounted for by adjusting the opening balance of unappropriated profit as at 1 January 2010. Comparatives are not restated. The details of the changes in accounting policy and the effects arising from the adoption of FRS 139 are discussed below:-

Impairment of trade receivables

Prior to 1 January 2010, allowance for doubtful debts was recognised when it was considered uncollectible. Upon the adoption of FRS 139, an impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred. The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the receivable’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the receivable’s original effective interest rate.

The existing FRS 1, FRS 3 and FRS 127 as well as FRS 2012004-Property Development Activities will be withdrawn upon the adoption of the new requirements that take effect on 1 July 2010. IC Interpretation 8 and 11 shall be withdrawn on the application of Amendments to FRS 2 effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2011.

All the above Amendments, IC Interpretations and FRS except for FRS 3, 124 and 127, Amendments to FRS 3, 7 and 101 are not expected to be relevant to the operations of the Group and of the Company. The Directors anticipate that the adoption of those applicable FRS and amendments to FRS will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company in the period for initial application except for the following:-

FRS 3 Business Combinations (Revised)

The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. All payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the income statement. There is a choice to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed.

FRS 124 Related Party Disclosures (Revised)

The revised standard modifies the definition of a related party and simplifies disclosures for government-related entities. The disclosure exemptions introduced in the standard do not affect the Group and the Company because the Group and the Company are not government-related entities. However, disclosures regarding related party transactions and balances in the financial statements may be affected when the revised standard is applied in future accounting periods because some counterparties that did not previously meet the definition of a related party may come within the scope of such standard.

FRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (Revised)

The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is remeasured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Losses are required to allocate to non-controlling interests, even if it results in the non-controlling interest to be in a deficit position.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT’D)

2.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial statements. They affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. Estimates and underlying assumptions are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.

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

2.6.1 Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:-

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful life. However, significant judgement is involved in estimating the useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment which are subjected to technological development and level of usage. Therefore residual values of these assets and future depreciation charges may vary.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and prepaid land lease payments

The Group carried out impairment tests where there are indications of impairment based on a variety of estimation including value-in-use of cash-generating unit to which the property, plant and equipment and the prepaid land lease payments are allocated. Estimating the value-in-use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value of those cash flows.

Inventories

The management reviews inventories to identify damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventories which require judgement and changes in such estimates could result in revision to valuation of inventories.

Impairment of loans and receivables

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. Factors such as probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the receivables and default or significant delay in payments are considered in determining whether there is objective evidence of impairment.

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.

Deferred tax assets

The assessment of the probability of future taxable income in which deferred tax assets can be utilised is based on the Group’s latest approved budget forecast, which is adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit. The tax rules in the numerous jurisdictions in which the Group operates are also carefully taken into consideration. If a positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, especially when it can be utilised without a time limit, that deferred tax asset is usually recognised in full. The recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed individually by management based on the specific facts and circumstances.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of consolidation

The Group’s financial statements which consolidate the audited financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries, are prepared in accordance with Group’s accounting policies. All financial statements are drawn up to the same reporting date.

All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group

companies are eliminated, unrealised losses are also eliminated on consolidation unless cost cannot be recovered.

Acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair values of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest.

Any excess of cost of business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities represents goodwill.

Any excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of business combination is recognised as income on the date of acquisition.

Minority interest represents the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the Group. It is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the parent shareholders’ equity, and is separately disclosed in the consolidated profit or loss.

The gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary company is the difference between net disposal proceeds and the Group’s share of its net assets together with any unimpaired balance of goodwill on acquisition and exchange differences.

(b) Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is a company in which the Group or the Company has the power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account.

Investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost or in accordance with FRS 139 less any impairment losses in the Company’s statement of financial position.

(c) Associates

An associate is a company in which the Group or the Company has a long term equity interest of between 20 to 50 percent and is in the position to exercise significant influence over its financial and operating policies through management participation but not to exert control over those policies.

Investment in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using equity accounting method which involves recognising in profit or loss the Group’s share of the results of associates based on audited/management financial statements of the associates. The Group’s investments in associates are carried in the Statement of Financial Position at an amount that reflects its share of the net assets of the associates. Equity accounting is discontinued when the carrying amount of the investment in an associate reaches zero, unless the Group has incurred obligations or guaranteed obligations in respect of the associate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2010 (CONT’D)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(c) Associates (cont’d)

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss on the Group’s investments in its associates. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investments in the associate are impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognise the amount in profit or loss.

The financial statements of 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.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in associates are stated 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.

(d) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective Group entity, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary items at year-end exchange rates, whether realised or unrealised, are recognised in profit or loss except for exchange differences arising from monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operations, which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and accumulated under foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction (not retranslated). Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in equity.

In the Group’s financial statements, all assets, liabilities and transactions of Group entities with a functional currency other than RM (the Group’s presentation currency) are translated into RM upon consolidation. The functional currency of the entities in the Group has remained unchanged during the reporting period.

On consolidation, assets and liabilities have been translated into RM at the closing rate at the reporting date. Income and expense have been translated into the Group’s presentation currency at the average rate over the reporting period. Exchange differences are charged or credited to other comprehensive income and recognised in the currency translation reserve in equity. On disposal of a foreign operation the cumulative translation difference recognised in equity (the exchange translation reserve) are reclassified to profit or loss and recognised as part of the acquisition of a foreign entity have been treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated into RM at the closing rate.

(e) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Freehold land and building under construction are not depreciated. Depreciation on other property, plant and equipment is provided on a straight line method so as to write off the cost over the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment concerned.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(e) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

The principal annual depreciation rates used are as follows: -

Buildings 2%Computers 20% - 60%Renovation 8% - 20%Motor vehicles 20%Factory/office furniture and equipment 8% - 25%Plant and machinery 10%

Restoration cost relating to an item of the property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if such expenditure is expected to increase the future benefits from the existing property, plant and equipment beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

Property, plant and equipment are written down to recoverable amount if, in the opinion of the Directors, it is less than their carrying value. Recoverable amount is the net selling price of the property, plant and equipment i.e. the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.

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 arising on derecognition of the asset is included in profit or loss in the financial year the asset is derecognised.

(f) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary, associate and jointly controlled entities at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is presented separately in the Statement of Financial Position while goodwill arising on the acquisition of associate is included within the carrying amount of investment in associate.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may be impaired.

A cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually and, whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing the carrying amount of the unit, including goodwill, with the recoverable amount of the unit. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) 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 period.

An impairment loss recognised for goodwill should not be reversed in subsequent period. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operations within that unit is disposed off, the goodwill associated with the operations disposed off is included in the carrying amount of the operations when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operations. Goodwill disposed off in these circumstances is measured based on the relative fair values of the operations disposed off and portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

(g) Assets acquired under lease arrangements Finance lease

Lease of property, plant and equipment acquired under finance lease arrangements which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Group and the Company are capitalised. Depreciation policy on these assets is similar to that of the Group’s and the Company’s property, plant and equipment depreciation policy.

Outstanding obligation due under finance lease arrangements after deducting finance expenses are

included as liabilities in the financial statements. Finance charges on finance lease arrangements are allocated to profit or loss over the period of respective agreements.

Leasehold land

Leasehold land that normally has an indefinite economic life and the title which is not expected to pass to the Group by the end of the lease term is treated as operating lease. The payments made on entering into or acquiring a leasehold land are accounted for as prepaid land lease payments and are amortised over the lease term of 86 years.

Operating leases

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risk and benefits remain with lessor, are charged as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

(h) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group and the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment by comparing its carrying amount with its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost 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 identified cash flow (cash generating units).

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. 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 cash-generating unit or groups of cash-generating units are allocated to those units or group of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rate basis.

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in profit or loss immediately.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses for an asset may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. 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. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

An impairment loss recognised for goodwill shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(i) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value plus transactions costs, except for financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured subsequently as described below.

Embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if, and only if, it is not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the host contract is not categorised at fair value through profit or loss. The host contract, in the event an embedded derivative is recognised separately, is accounted for in accordance with policy applicable to the nature of the host contract.

Financial assets

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:-

a) loans and receivables;b) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; c) held to maturity investments; and d) available-for-sale financial assets.

The above category determines subsequent measurement and whether any resulting income and expense is recognised in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income.

All financial assets except for those at fair value through profit or loss are subject to review for impairment at least once at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired when there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described below.

A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or when the financial assets and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred.

Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Group and the Company commit to purchase or sell the asset.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

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.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(i) Financial instruments (cont’d) Financial assets (cont’d)

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 equity to profit or loss.

Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss in the subsequent periods. Increase in fair value, 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.

Financial liabilities

After the initial recognition, financial liability is classified as financial liability at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities measure at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expired, or through amortisation process. 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 amount is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities held for trading include derivatives entered into by the Group and the Company that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria. Derivative liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently stated at fair value, with any resultant gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or losses on derivatives include exchange differences.

The Group and the Company have not designated any financial liabilities as at fair value through profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables.

Other financial liabilities are 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.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(j) Impairment of financial assets

The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence indicating that a financial assets is impaired.

Trade and other receivables 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 receivables 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 or receivables could include the Group’s and the Company’s past experience or 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.

(k) Research and development expenditure

All research costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Expenditure incurred on projects to develop new products is capitalised and deferred only when the Group or the Company can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the project and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. Product development expenditure which do not meet these criteria are expensed off when incurred.

Development costs, considered to have finite useful lives, are stated at cost less any impairment losses and are amortised using the straight-line basis over the commercial lives of the underlying products not exceeding five years. Impairment is assessed whenever there is an indication of impairment and the amortisation period and method are also reviewed at least once at each reporting date.

(l) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the weighted average basis and comprises the purchase price and incidental expenses in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

The cost of raw materials comprises the cost of purchase. The cost of finished goods comprise costs of raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and appropriate proportions of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary cost of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(m) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, bank balances, short term demand deposits, bank overdraft and highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Bank overdrafts are shown in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. For the purpose of the statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents restricted to be used to settle a liability of 12 months or more after the reporting date are classified as non-current asset.

(n) Equity, reserves and dividend payments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and of 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.

The revaluation reserve within equity comprises gains and losses due to the revaluation of property, plant and equipment. Foreign currency translation differences arising on the translation of the Group's foreign entities are included in the exchange translation reserve. Gains and losses on certain financial instruments are included in reserves for available-for-sale financial assets and cash-flow hedges respectively.

Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits.

Dividends on redeemable preference shares are recognised as a liability and expressed on an accrual basis. Other dividends are accounted for in shareholder’s equity as an appropriation of retained earnings and recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared.

All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded separately within equity.

(o) Treasury shares

When issued share of the Company are repurchased, the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs is presented as a change in equity. Repurchased shares that have not been cancelled are classify as treasury shares and presented as a deduction from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the sale, reissuance or cancellation of treasury shares.

When treasury shares are distributed as share dividends, the cost of the treasury shares is applied in the reduction of the share premium account or distributable reserves, or both.

When treasury shares are reissued by resale, the difference between the sale consideration net of directly attributable costs and the carrying amount of the treasury shares is shown as a movement in equity.

(p) Provisions Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation, legal or constructive, 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.

If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. Where the effect of the time of money is material, provision 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.

(q) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. However, borrowing costs incurred to finance the construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the assets for its intended use.

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the financial year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. 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-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays 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 employee benefits relating to employee services in the current and preceding financial years.

Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss as incurred. As required by law, companies in Malaysia make such contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”). Some of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries also make contributions to their respective countries’ statutory pension schemes.

(t) Revenue recognition

Sale of goods/ services

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon delivery of products and customers’ acceptance, or performance of services, and after eliminating sales within the Group.

Management fee income

Management fees are recognised when the services are rendered.

Rental income

Rental income is recognised when the rent is due.

Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the asset.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(u) Income tax

Current tax

Current tax expense is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the financial year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are provided for under liability method in respect of all temporary differences at reporting date between carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position and its tax base including unused tax losses and capital allowances.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each reporting date. If it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or that entire deferred tax asset to be utilised, the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset will be reduced accordingly. When it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available, such reductions will be reversed to the extent of the taxable profit.

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

(v) Segmental results

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified to makes strategic decisions. Additional disclosures on each of these segments are shown in Note 37.

(w) Contingent liabilities/assets

A contingent liability or asset is a possible obligation or asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only the occurrences or non-occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group.

Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised in the statements of financial position of the Group.

10. GOODWILL ON CONSOLIDATION (CONT’D)

Impairment tests for goodwill

Goodwill has been allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units (“CGU”) identified according to the subsidiaries, as follows:-

22,217,707 22,214,574

The recoverable amount of the investment in the subsidiaries are based on its value in use and the recoverable amount are higher than the carrying amount of the investment. Thus, there is no impairment loss recognised for the financial year ended 31 December 2010.

Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations The recoverable amount of CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations using cash flow projections

based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five years period. Cash flows beyond the five years period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rate stated below. The growth rate does not exceed the average historical growth rate over the long term for the industry. The key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations are:-

The following describes each key assumption on which management has based its cash flow projections to undertake impairment testing of goodwill:-

(a) Budgeted growth rate

The budgeted growth rate is determined based on the industry trends and past performances of the segments.

10. GOODWILL ON CONSOLIDATION (CONT’D)

Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations (cont’d)

(b) Budgeted gross margin

The basis used to determine the value assigned to the budgeted gross margin is the average gross margin achieved in the year immediately before the budgeted year increased for expected efficiency improvements.

(c) Discount rate

The discount rate used is pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments.

The Group believes that any reasonably possible changes in the above key assumptions applied are not likely to materially cause recoverable amount to be lower than its carrying amount.

Risk management objectives and policies

Financial Risks

The Group and the Company is exposed to financial risks arising from their operations and the use of financial instruments. Financial risk management policy is established to ensure that adequate resources are available for the development of the Group’s and the Company’s business whilst managing its credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. The Group and the Company operates within clearly defined policies and procedures that are approved by the Board of Directors to ensure the effectiveness of the risk management process.

The main areas of financial risks faced by the Group and Company and the policy in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are set out as follows:-

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group and the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. It is the Group’s and the Company’s policy to enter into financial instrument with a diversity of creditworthy counterparties. The Group and the Company does not expect to incur material credit losses of its financial assets or other financial instruments.

Risk management objectives and policies (cont’d)

Financial Risks (Cont’d)

(a) Credit risk (cont’d)

It is the Group’s and the Company’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms is subject to credit verification procedures. The Group and the Company do not offer credit terms without the approval of the head of credit control.

As at the end of the reporting date, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from receivables is limited to the carrying amounts in the statements of financial position.

With a credit policy in place to ensure the credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis, management has taken reasonable steps to ensure that receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are stated at their realisable values. A significant portion of these receivables are regular customers that have been transacting with the Group and the Company. The Group and the Company uses aging analysis to monitor the credit quality of the receivables. Any receivables having significant balances past due more than credit terms granted are deemed to have higher credit risk, and are monitored individually.

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group and the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers in various industries and geographical areas. Based on the historical information about customer default rates management consider the credit quality of trade receivables.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group and the Company will not be able to meet their financial obligations as they fall due to shortage of funds.

In managing its exposures to liquidity risk arises principally from its various payables and bank borrowings, the Group and the Company maintain 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.

The Group and the Company aim at maintaining a balance of sufficient cash and deposits and flexibility in funding by keeping diverse sources of committed and uncommitted credit facilities from various banks.

(c) 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.

To mitigate the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, the Group and the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities. The currency giving rise to this risk is primarily US Dollar (USD), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) and Singapore Dollar (SGD).

The Group is also exposed to currency translation risk arising from its net investment in foreign operation in Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand. The investment not hedged as currency positions in HKD, SGD and Thai Baht is considered to be long-term in nature.

The Group do not practice cash flow hedge and does not enter into forward current contracts to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency risks.

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

2010Profit for the year Equity

RM RMUSD/RM - Strengthened 0.87% (34,182) (34,182)- Weakened 0.87% 34,182 34,182

HKD/RM - Strengthened 0.88% 34,134 34,134- Weakened 0.88% (34,134) (34,134)

SGD/RM - Strengthened 0.45% 235 235- Weakened 0.45% (235) (235)

Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the financial year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Group’s and the Company’s exposures to foreign currency risk.

(d) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s and the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

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

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

At 31 December 2010, the Group is exposed to changes in market interest rates through bank borrowings at variable interest rates. Other borrowings are at fixed interest rates. The exposure to interest rates for the Group’s short term placement is considered immaterial.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit to a reasonably possible change in interest rates of +/- 50 basis points (“bp”). These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions. The calculations are based on a change in the average market interest rate for each period, and the financial instruments held at each reporting date that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. All other variables are held constant.

39. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of short term receivables and payable, cash and cash equivalents and short term borrowings approximate their fair values due to the relatively short term nature of these financial instruments and insignificant impact of discounting.

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 active market. In addition, it is impracticable to use valuation technique to estimate the fair value reliably as a result of significant variability in the inputs of the valuation technique. The Group does not intend to dispose of this investment in the near future and intends to eventually dispose of this investment through sale to capital venture company.
