Management Discussion & Analysis

DUTALAND BERHAD GROUP

Incorporated in 1967, the principal activity of DutaLand Berhad (“DutaLand” or “the Company”) is investment holding. It also engages in the business of investment and provision of management services to its subsidiaries. The DutaLand group of companies’ (“Group”) main business focus is in the cultivation of oil palm, property development and investments.

OVERVIEW

The Company’s objective is to create and maximise shareholders’ value through growth and improvements in its business units. The strategies to achieve the objectives are prudent management, and careful evaluation and assessment of business decisions.

FINANCIAL RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Group’s financial position is stable as at the close of the financial year ended 30 June 2017 (“FY2017”).

As at 30 June 2017, the Group owns a total assets of RM1.076 billion, with an outstanding financing of only RM4.5 million.

The Group’s equity structure was re-organised in FY2017. The corporate exercise entailed the reduction of the entire share premium account of RM18.5 million, and reduction of the par value of the existing ordinary shares of the Company from RM1.00 per share to RM0.50 per share.

The above exercise has given rise to a credit of RM441.6 million, of which RM388.3 million has been utilised to set-off against the accumulated losses of the Company. The remaining credit of RM53.1 million has been retained in the capital reserve account.

The Group achieved better results for FY2017 as compared to FY2016. Both the Plantation and Property divisions have recorded higher revenue for FY2017.

Revenue of the Group for FY2017 has increased significantly by 245% from RM37.8 million in FY2016 to RM130.4 million in the financial year under review. The favourable variance of RM92.6 million was mainly due to higher contribution from the Property division (RM81.9 million in FY2017 against RM0.1 million in FY2016). Plantation division’s contribution was also higher at RM48.5 million, against RM37.6 million in FY2016.

The Group registered profit before tax of RM21.4 million in FY2017 compared to RM0.1 million in FY2016. The Property division recorded higher profit at RM17.6 million for FY2017 (FY2016: RM7.2 million loss) attributed to the disposal of a piece of land from the Kenny Heights joint-venture project. The Plantation division also performed better with a profit before tax of RM11.0 million in FY2017 (FY2016: RM2.3 million).

In line with the higher revenue, the Group’s operating profit (“EBITDA”) has improved from RM3.1 million in FY2016 to RM24.9 million in FY2017.

With the improved performance, the Group’s financial position has been further strengthened. As at 30 June 2017, the Group has a total assets of RM1.076 billion, with outstanding financing of only RM4.5 million. The total equity stood at RM992.4 million, backed by a net tangible assets per share of RM1.11.

6 DutaLand Berhad • Annual Report 2017

OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

Plantation

As at 30 June 2017, the Group owns approximately 11,977.91 hectares of plantation land in Sandakan, Sabah.

The plantation land was acquired by the Group in 1995. Of the total land area of 11,977.91 hectares, only approximately 1,000 hectares of the land was planted with oil palm. Subsequently, the Group has planted the remaining plantation land with oil palms.

For FY2017, the Plantation division contributed revenue of RM48.5 million, which was 29% higher than the previous year. Plantation remained an important contributor to the Group’s revenue.

The higher revenue of the Plantation division was mainly due to the higher fresh fruit bunches (“FFB”) selling price at RM567 / MT, which was 32% higher than FY2016. The FFB production for FY2017 was 2% lower at 85,448 MT.

As a result of the RM10.9 million increase in revenue, the EBITDA of the Plantation division increased by RM8.8 million to RM13.8 million, or an increase of 176% in FY2017.

The yield of the plantation at 8.5 MT / Hectare for FY2017 remains a concern. However, the management has taken remedial measures such as optimising fertiliser application etc to boost the productivity of the FFB.

There is no major capital commitment at this juncture. The plantable area of the estates has been planted with oil palm. The required infrastructure such as buildings and road have also been constructed.

The palm oil industry in Malaysia is facing various issues, such as labour shortage, escalating cost of fertiliser, competition from other edible oils, and environmental issues.

Various measures are being implemented to overcome these challenges such as new oil palm clones are being developed and automation that uses new technology.

Property Development

The Property division reported revenue of RM81.9 million in FY2017. The division was not active in the previous financial year. The main contributor to the revenue was from the Kenny Heights project, which has disposed of a piece of land measuring 9.01 acres for a total cash consideration of RM140.0 million. The Kenny Heights project is a joint-venture project between the Group and Olympia Properties Sdn Bhd. With the completion of the sale of the land in April 2017, the Group has recognised its share of profit of RM26.4 million from the above disposal.

The Group’s property portfolio mainly comprises of the Oakland project in Seremban, the Kenny Heights project in Mont Kiara, and the Duta Grand Hotels project at the intersection of Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Ampang.

Oakland project

The Group has acquired 70% stake in Oakland Holdings Sdn Bhd (“Oakland”) in 1991, and subsequently the remaining 30% in 1994. The company has developed approximately 400 acres of land todate.

The Group is also developing the Lake Side Boulevard project in Seremban. The project comprises 182 units of shop-office, with a gross development value (GDV) of approximately RM115 million. Construction work has commenced and the project is progressing well.

Kenny Heights project

The Kenny Heights project is a joint venture project (“JV”) between KH Estates Sdn Bhd (a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company) and Olympia Properties Sdn Bhd. The JV is based on a sharing ratio of 58% and 42%, with a total land bank of 73.44 acres contributed by the JV partners. The first phase of the project, comprises 49 units of villa, has been completed. In FY2017, the JV has disposed of 9.01 acres of land for RM140.0 million. Meanwhile the development plan of the project is being reviewed so as to be ready for the next launch.

Duta Grand Hotels (“DGH”) project

The DGH project is an integrated project with land area of 122,000 sq. ft. The development comprises retails space, hotel, office, hotel residence and serviced apartments. Development work of the DGH Tower began in 1996, and construction of the superstructure has reached level 32 when the project was halted due to the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997-98. Meanwhile, the planning work of the project continue in order to enhance the value of the development. Management is also looking at various ways to re-commence the project, such as joint venture or disposal of certain components of the project.

The Malaysian property market remains challenging as competition intensifies on top of weak demand. The rising construction cost, fuelled by higher oil prices, increased electric tariff and labour shortage, as well as tighter Bank Negara loan guidelines are some of the factors affecting the property market.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

The Company announced on 29 August 2016 on the capital re-organisation exercise pursuant to the then Companies Act 1965. The said corporate exercise entailed a reduction of the share premium account and a reduction of the par value of the ordinary shares of the Company from RM1.00 to RM0.50 per share. The credit arising thereof was mainly utilised to set-off against the accumulated losses of the Company. The corporate exercise has no effect to the total equity or net assets of the Company or the Group. The total number of issued shares remains unchanged, likewise for the net assets per share. This corporate exercise was completed on 5 January 2017.

On 29 August 2016, the Company also announced that it has triggered Paragraph 8.03A of the Main Market Listing Requirements (“Listing Requirements”) of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”) due to inadequate level of operations as set out in the Listing Requirements.

The Company had on 29 August 2016 submitted an application to Bursa Malaysia for a waiver and Bursa Malaysia has on 9 November 2016 granted to DutaLand a waiver from being classified as an affected listed issuer pursuant to Paragraph 8.03A.

The Company announced on 22 August 2017 that Pertama Land & Development Sdn Bhd (“PLD”), a wholly owned sub-subsidiary of the Company, had on 22 August 2017 accepted the letter of intent dated 18 August 2017 (“LOI”) issued by Boustead Rimba Nilai Sdn Bhd (“BRN”) a wholly owned subsidiary of Boustead Plantation Berhad. The LOI expresses BRN’s intention to acquire 42 parcels of plantation land measuring 11,579.31 hectares, inclusive of movable fixed assets, machineries and vehicles located at the property owned by PLD (“Plantation Asset”) for an indicative cash consideration of RM750.0 million. This plantation land is located at Sandakan, Sabah.

BRN has paid to PLD a sum of RM15.0 million on 22 August 2017, being the 2% earnest deposit of the consideration as part of the terms of the LOI.

The terms of the LOI set out that BRN shall carry out a due diligence exercise for a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of PLD’s acceptance of the LOI (“Due Diligence Period”), thereafter BRN shall revert with its decision within 15 days after the Due Diligence Period whether to proceed with the above proposed acquisition.

The proposed acquisition of the Plantation Asset by BRN from PLD is subject to the approval of DutaLand shareholders.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

• BoardComposition

The Board composition and size are assessed by the Board through the Nomination Committee. All members of the Board have extensive professional background as stated in the respective Profile of Directors of this Annual Report. There was no change in the Board’s composition during the financial year under review. The Independent Directors make up more than one-third of the Board membership.

As of the date of this Statement, the Board of DutaLand consists of 7 Board members, comprising the Group Managing Director, an Executive Director, a Non-Independent Non-Executive Director and a strong presence of 4 Independent Directors. Mr Cheong Wong Sang, the Senior Independent Director, acts as the point of contact for shareholders and other stakeholders.

• BoardMixandBalance

The Board has the right mix of skills, experience and knowledge with a broad background in business, finance and public service. Such balanced Board provides leadership to the Group and effective oversight of matters relating to the Group’s strategy, business performance and prospects, being the Board’s ultimate responsibility.

The Board comprises a majority of Independent Directors who bring independent and objective judgment to the Board, mitigating the risk of conflict of interests and preventing undue influence by interested parties. The Board is satisfied that the balanced Board of the Company ensures the interest of all stakeholders is adequately protected.

• BoardDiversity

The Board acknowledges the importance of the Board diversity, including gender, ethnicity, background, professional experience and age, and strives for an effective and balanced Board.

The Board takes cognizance that gender is not the only a factor to consider when determining the suitability of a Board candidate. The Board does not have a policy on Boardroom gender diversity as the Board believes in providing equal opportunities to all genders based on merit and selecting the best candidate to attain the Company’s strategic objectives and goals. The Board’s consideration of a candidate’s identity diversity will have to coincide with a determination that the individual possesses skills and experiences desirable by the Board and required by the Company.

• BoardChairmanandGroupManagingDirector

There is a clear separation of responsibilities and roles between the Chairman and the Group Managing Director, both functionally independent. The respective responsibilities and roles of the Chairman and the Group Managing Director is clearly established and agreed by the Board. The Board Chairman and the Group Managing Director are not related to each other. No individual has powers that span the two roles, which ensures a balance of power and authority in enhancing a greater capacity of the Board for independent decision-making and maintaining trust.

BoardChairman

Y.A.M. Tengku Datuk Seri Ahmad Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, the Chairman of the Board, is responsible for managing the effective conduct of the Board and Board functions including the following:

15DutaLand Berhad • Annual Report 2017

GroupManagingDirector

Tan Sri Dato’ Yap Yong Seong, the Group Managing Director, together with the management of the Company, is responsible to ensure the strategies, policies and matters approved by the Board are effectively implemented including, amongst others, the following:

• Manage the day-to-day business operations of the Group;

• Ensure that the appropriate standards of corporate governance permeate through the organisation;

• Recommend key strategies and implement such strategies agreed by the Board;

• Act as the official spokeperson of the Group; and

• Take a leading role in the relationship with all external agencies in promoting the Group.

• IndependenceofDirectors

The MCCG recommends that the length of tenure is a factor to consider when determining the independence, and in event an Independent Director continues to serve on the Board upon completion of the 9 years, he/she is subject to be re-designated as Non-Independent Director. The MCCG also recommends that the Board must justify and seek shareholders’ approval in event it wishes to retain such Independent Director concerned without being re-designated he/she as Non-Independent Director.

The Board is mindful of the recommendation of MCCG on limiting the tenure of Independent Director to a consecutive service of 9 years or a cumulative service of 9 years with intervals. The Board does not set any term limit for Directors as the Board is of the opinion that the independence of a Director cannot be determined on the basis of his tenure of service. The Board acknowledges the significant advantages gained from the long-serving Directors who possess valuable insights and knowledge of the Company’s business affairs and operations.

In this respect, the Board, taking into account the assessment conducted by the Nomination Committee, reviews the independence of all Independent Directors annually. Further, an annual confirmation of independence is obtained from the respective Independent Directors confirming that they will continue to maintain their status of independence pursuant to the Listing Requirements.

For the financial year under review, the Nomination Committee and the Board, after evaluating the annual assessment and considering the annual confirmation by the Independent Directors, acknowledged that Tengku Datuk Seri Ahmad Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, Dato’ Hazli bin Ibrahim, Dato’ Abdul Majit bin Ahmad Khan and Mr Cheong Wong Sang, the Independent Directors of the Company, have maintained the status of independence as defined in the Listing Requirements. The Board is satisfied that all these Independent Directors remain independent of management, and objective in expressing their views and in participating in deliberations and decision making of the Board and Board Committees.

Amongst others, Dato’ Hazli bin Ibrahim and Mr Cheong Wong Sang have served in the capacity of Independent Directors for more than 9 years. Dato’ Hazli bin Ibrahim was appointed to the Board of the Company on 2 January 2008 as an Independent Director, he is the Chairman of Audit Committee and a member of the Nomination Committee and the Remuneration Committee respectively.

• BoardEvaluation

The Nomination Committee is responsible to conduct and evaluate annual assessments on the Board, Board Committees and individual Directors’ performance and independence. The annual assessment is structured to ensure a balanced and objective review by all Directors in key areas in accomplishing their goals and discharging their responsibilities. It provides insights into the functioning of the Board and Board Committees and identifies areas that might need strengthening and development.

The criteria used in the assessment are guided by the Corporate Governance Guide, issued by Bursa Malaysia, and customised to meet the expectations of the Board and the Company. The specific criteria used covers the Board composition and structure, principal responsibilities of the Board, Board process, Board governance, risk management, compliance, succession planning, performance and independence of Directors. Where appropriate, the Nomination Committee will review the assessment criteria. The Nomination Committee evaluates the respective assessments duly inputted by the Directors. The results of the assessments will be presented by the Nomination Committee to the Board for its endorsement and formally documented.

For the financial year under review, the Nomination Committee, having reviewed the findings of the annual assessments, concluded that the Board and Board Committees have performed well with the individual’s creditability to add value to the Board and Board Committees and exercise objective judgment in the decision-making process. Each Director dedicates sufficient time and attention to the affairs of the Group. The Nomination Committee is of the view that all Independent Directors have demonstrated independence in their character and judgment as Board members and their designated roles in the Board Committees whilst their experience and in-depth knowledge of the Group’s businesses continue providing invaluable contribution to the Board and Board Committees.

Following the Nomination Committee’s evaluation of the annual assessments and recommendations, the Board is satisfied and endorsed that the Board as a whole and the Board Committees had performed well during the financial year under review. The Board concurred that its members encompass the necessary skills, experiences, competence and qualities to contribute to the overall effectiveness of the Board and Board Committees as well as to add value to the Company as each Director has performed effectively and demonstrated commitment to their respective roles, including commitment of time, in the Board and/or Board Committees.

The Board supported the Nomination Committee that the suitability and ability of an Independent Director to serve effectively is a function of the Independent Director’s conduct, judgment, caliber and integrity in discharging his responsibilities in the best interest of the Company and various stakeholders, regardless the length of tenure as an Independent Director.

The Board expects all Independent Directors will continue providing a check and balance to the Board and Board Committees in discharging their duties, notwithstanding that they might have served the Board as Independent Directors for more than 9 years. The Board then concurred with the Nomination Committee’s recommendation and deemed it appropriate that all Independent Directors of the Company shall continue to act as Independent Directors, without re-designation.

Following the appointment, the new Director will be briefed via an orientation or familiarisation programme to generate better understanding on the Group’s businesses, operations and management level.

• Re-appointmentandRe-electionofDirectors

The Board Charter does not specify any term of limitation on the tenure of a Director. The Board has established the process to assess the performance of individual Directors and the independence of Independent Directors, which is conducted annually by the Nomination Committee.

The Board reckons that it is not necessary to rigidly identify a maximum term of office of Directors as the Board of the Company is conducive to having a strong cohesive Board, skills balanced. Moreover, invaluable experience and leadership are being brought through the long service of various Directors, maintaining trust and support amongst Directors. The Board does not prescribe any age limit for the Board members either as the Board believes that the capacity and enthusiasm of a Director is not subject to his/her age.

As a policy, retiring Directors who are seeking re-election or re-appointment and Independent Directors who have served the Company for 9 years to continue serving the Company in the same capacity, are subject to the Nomination Committee’s assessment and recommendation as well as the Board’s concurrence and justification for the shareholders’ approval, in the best interest of the Company.

Pursuant to the Listing Requirements and the Company’s Articles of Association, all Directors of the Company shall retire from office at least once every three years, one third of the Directors will retire by rotation at the 50th AGM. In this regard, Dato’ Sri Yap Wee Keat and Mr Cheong Wong Sang shall retire and be eligible for re-election to the Board subject to the shareholders’ approval to be procured at the 50th AGM.

Pursuant to Section 129(6) of the then Companies Act 1965, Tan Sri Dato’ Yap Yong Seong and Dato’ Abdul Majit bin Ahmad Khan who have attained the age of 70 years were required to retire at every AGM and were re-appointed at the 49th AGM held in 2016 to hold office until the 50th AGM. In this respect, Tan Sri Dato’ Yap Yong Seong and Dato’ Abdul Majit bin Ahmad Khan shall be re-appointed at the 50th AGM and authorised to continue in office as Directors of the Company.

The Nomination Committee had at its meeting held in 2017 assessed all Directors of the Company and, having satisfied itself with the assessment results in terms of independence of Independent Directors and individual Directors’ contribution and performance, including attendance at meetings, preparedness, participation and integrity, and recommended that Tan Sri Dato’ Yap Yong Seong and Dato’ Abdul Majit bin Ahmad Khan be nominated for re-appointment; Dato’ Sri Yap Wee Keat and Mr Cheong Wong Sang be nominated for re-election; and Dato’ Hazli bin Ibrahim and Mr Cheong Wong Sang to continue in office as Independent Directors of the Company without re-designation as Non-Independent Directors.

The Board (where the interested Directors have abstained in deliberating and voting on the resolution concerning his own re-election/re-appointment/continuing in office), having regard to the respective Directors’ assessments conducted, has endorsed the Nomination Committee’s recommendation and deemed it appropriate for shareholders to re-elect or re-appoint the retiring Directors aforesaid and to authorise the abovementioned Independent Directors to continue in office in that capacity in view of their knowledge, experience and competency which will benefit to the Board and the Group’s continued sustainability and growth.

BOARD’SRESPONSIBILITIES

The Board of DutaLand acknowledges its overall responsibility in establishing and maintaining a sound risk management and internal control system for the DutaLand Group (“Group”) as well as a sound framework to manage risks. The Board takes cognizance of the importance of reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the risk management and internal control system periodically to safeguard the stakeholders’ interests and the Group’s assets.

The risk management and internal control system of the Group is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure in achieving the Group’s corporate objectives, and the system may only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against any material misstatement or loss.

RISKMANAGEMENTPROCESS

The Board has formally endorsed an on-going risk management and internal control framework which includes the following key elements:

• the guiding principles of the risk management framework;• the underlying approach to risk management;• the roles and responsibilities of the Board and the management;• the underlying approach in reviewing and monitoring any significant risks; and• regular review on the effectiveness and efficiency of the internal control procedures and processes.

The risk management and internal control framework is applied continuously throughout the financial year to determine, evaluate and manage significant risks of the Group. This is further assured by the implementation of an internal control and risk management system that has been integrated in the Group’s operations and working culture. Therefore, any significant risks arising from factors within the Group and from changes in the business environment can be addressed on a timely basis. The key aspects of the risk management process including the following:

• Risks are identified by each key business unit assessing the likelihood and impacts of the occurrence of risks which are evaluated and rated as ‘Low’, ‘Medium-Low’, ‘Medium’, ‘High-Medium’ or ‘High’. The level of residual risk is determined after identifying and evaluating the effectiveness of existing controls or mitigating measures.

• Heads of the respective business units undertake to update their risk profiles on a half yearly basis.

• The risk profiles, control procedures and status of the action plans are reviewed on a regular basis by the respective Heads of business unit.

• Heads of business unit are provided with reports to enable them to review, discuss and monitor the risk profiles and implementation of action plans.

• Uncertaintiesinlocalregulatoryandpractices

Therefore, changes in legislations regarding labour policies, immigration laws, environmental laws and internal security issues have a material adverse effect on the plantation business. The management regularly updates and assesses the impact of the new laws and regulations affecting the business, as the case may be, to ensure its operations will sustain under the new requirements, if any.

• Increasingoperationcosts

The risk of escalating operation costs, especially labour cost arising from the increase in minimum wages, fertilisers and chemical cost, have lifted the cost of production. Prudent cost control measures are in place through a budgeting process and monitoring system. The management also closely monitors the field management and maximise the harvesting operations.

PropertyDevelopment

• Softpropertymarket

The property business of the Group is dependent on the overall performance of the property market in the country. The soft property market is mainly due to the tight credit control policies adopted by financial institutions on approval of housing loan, property market sentiment, oversupply and increasing market competition. The management closely monitors the development and changes in the property market for future developments.

INTERNALCONTROLPROCESS

Other key features of the Group’s internal control system include the following:

• Board/BoardCommittees

Board Committees (AC, Remuneration Committee and Nomination Committee) have been established to carry out their duties and responsibilities delegated by the Board and are governed by the respective written terms of references.

The AC regularly reviews and scrutinises the audit reports prepared by the Internal Audit Department (“IA”) and conducts annual assessment on the adequacy of the IA’s scope of work and resources.

The Board and the AC meet quarterly and have set a schedule of matters which is required to be brought to the attention of the Board and/or the AC for discussion to ensure full and effective supervision over appropriate controls. In addition, the Group Managing Director provides explanation to the Board on pertinent issues. The Board is kept updated on the Group’s activities and its operations on a regular basis.

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Independence and other ethical responsibilities We are independent of the Group and of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-Laws”) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis of our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

As at 30 June 2017, the property, plant and equipment of the Group include the construction of the Duta Grand Hotel project (“the Property”), which has been suspended since 1998. Long term suspension of the Property indicates that the carrying amount of the Property may be impaired.

Accordingly, the management engaged a firm of independent valuers to assess the recoverable amount of the Property. When estimating the fair value less cost to sell of the Property, the management considered the valuers’ inputs to the valuation of the Property. These include the appropriateness of the valuation model and the key assumptions used by the Valuers.

These assessments are significant to our audit as it involves complex and subjective management’s judgements. Accordingly, we consider this to be an area of audit focus.

b)InvestmentinDutaGrandHotelsSdnBhd(“DGH”)andamountduefromDGH

As at 30 June 2017, the carrying amount of investment in Duta Grand Hotels Sdn Bhd (“DGH”) and amount due from DGH amounted to RM215 million and RM70 million, representing 34% and 9% of the Company’s total assets, respectively.

Accordingly, the Company performed an impairment assessment to determine the recoverable amount of the investment in DGH and amount due from DGH.

Hence, the management engaged a firm of independent valuers to assess the fair value less cost to sell of the Property.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements

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

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

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

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

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s and of the Company’s internal control.

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

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

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

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

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)

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

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

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

Notes to the Financial Statements30 June 2017

1. Corporateinformation

The Company is a public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”). The principal place of business and registered office of the Company is located at Level 23, Menara Olympia, No. 8, Jalan Raja Chulan, 50200 Kuala Lumpur.

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are described in Note 17. There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the financial year.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 20 September 2017.

2. Summaryofsignificantaccountingpolicies

2.1 Basisofpreparation

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”) and the requirements of the Companies Act, 2016 (“New Act”) in Malaysia.

The New Act was enacted to replace the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia with the objectives of creating a legal and regulatory structure that will facilitate business and promote accountability as well as protection of corporate directors and shareholders, taking into consideration the interest of other stakeholders. The New Act was passed on 4 April 2016 by the Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives) and gazetted on 15 September 2016. On 26 January 2017, the Minister of Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism announced that the date on which the New Act comes into operation, except section 241 and Division 8 of Part III of the New Act, took effect on 31 January 2017.

Amongst the key changes introduced in the New Act which will affect the financial statements of the Group and of the Company upon the commencement of the New Act on 31 January 2017 are:

(a) Removal of the authorised share capital; and

(b) Shares of the Company will cease to have par or nominal value.

The adoption of the above does not have significant impact on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company.

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, unless otherwise disclosed in the significant accounting policies below or other notes to the financial statements.

The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RM’000) except when otherwise indicated.

2.3 Standardsissuedbutnotyeteffective(continued)

The directors expect that the adoption of the above standards and interpretations will have no material impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application.

2.4 MalaysianFinancialReportingStandards(MFRSFramework)

On 19 November 2011, the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB) issued a new MASB approved accounting framework, the MFRS Framework.

The MFRS Framework is to be applied by all Entities Other Than Private Entities for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012, with the exception of entities that are within the scope of MFRS 141 Agriculture (MFRS 141) and IC Interpretation 15 Agreements for Construction of Real Estate (IC 15), including its parent, significant investor and venturer (herein defined as ‘Transitioning Entities’). However, adoption of the MFRS Framework by Transitioning Entities will only be mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

The Group falls within the scope definition of Transitioning Entities and accordingly, will be required to prepare financial statements using the MFRS Framework in its MFRS financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2019. In presenting its first MFRS financial statements, the Group will be required to restate the comparative financial statements to amounts reflecting the application of MFRS Framework. The majority of the adjustments required on transition will be made, retrospectively, against opening retained profits.

At the date of these financial statements, the Group has not completed its quantification of the financial effects of the differences between Financial Reporting Standards and accounting standards under the MFRS Framework including MFRS 9, MFRS 141, MFRS 15 and MFRS 16. Accordingly, the consolidated financial performance and financial position as disclosed in these financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 could be different if prepared under the MFRS Framework.

The Group considers that it is achieving its scheduled milestones and expects to be in position to fully comply with the requirements of the MFRS Framework for the financial year ending 30 June 2019.

2.5 Basisofconsolidation

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 for 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 (such as 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements30 June 2017 (continued)

59DutaLand Berhad • Annual Report 2017

2. Summaryofsignificantaccountingpolicies(continued)

2.5 Basisofconsolidation(continued)

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 of 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.

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 profits. 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.

Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for by applying 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 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.

2.5 Basisofconsolidation(continued)

Businesscombinations

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 interests 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 accrued 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.

2.6 Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has all the following:

(i) Power over the investee (such as 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.

2.7 Investmentsinjointoperations

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exist only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the FRS applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

2.8 Transactionswithnon-controllinginterests

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company.

Changes in the Company owners’ ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent.

2.9 Property,plantandequipment

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 to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment except for freehold land are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Other assets consist of office equipments, furnitures, fixtures, fittings, motor vehicles, computer equipments, renovation and road reserves.

Freehold land has unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. The lease periods for long term leasehold land range from 50 - 99 years. Leasehold land is amortised on a straight line basis over the periods of the respective leases.

Depreciation of other items is provided for on a straight line basis to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over the estimated useful life, at the following annual rates:

Buildings 20%Plant, machinery and equipment 6.67%Other assets 5% - 20%

Building under construction is not depreciated as the asset is not yet available for use.

The carrying value 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 values, 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 the 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.

2.10 Biologicalassets

(i) Recognitionandmeasurement

New plantings which include land clearing, planting, field upkeep and maintenance of oil palm plantings to maturity are capitalised as biological assets. Oil palm plantings are considered matured 48 months after the date of planting. Expenditures incurred after maturity of crops are charged to profit or loss. Estate overhead expenditure (including the borrowing costs) is apportioned to profit or loss and biological assets on the basis of the proportion of mature and immature areas. Net income from scout harvesting prior to maturity is offset against biological assets.

The Group revalues its biological assets every five years and at shorter intervals whenever the fair value of the revalued assets is expected to differ materially from their carrying value.

Surplus arising from revaluation are dealt with in the revaluation reserve account. Any deficit arising is offset against the revaluation reserve to the extent of a previous increase for the same biological assets. In all other cases, a decrease in carrying amounts is charged to profit or loss.

2.10 Biologicalassets(continued)

(ii) Amortisation

No amortisation is considered necessary for biological assets as the estate is maintained through replanting programmes. The replanting expenditure is written off to profit or loss during the year when it is incurred.

2.11 Landheldforpropertydevelopmentandpropertydevelopmentcosts

(i) Landheldforpropertydevelopment

Land held for property development consists of land where no development activities have been carried out or where development activities are not expected to be completed within the normal operating cycle. Such land is classified within non-current assets and is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Land held for property development is reclassified as property development costs at the point when development activities have commenced and where it can be demonstrated that the development activities can be completed within the normal operating cycle.

(ii) Propertydevelopmentcosts

Property development costs comprise all costs that are directly attributable to development activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities.

When the financial outcome of development activities can be reliably estimated, property development revenue and expenses are recognised in profit or loss by using the stage of completion method. The stage of completion is determined by the proportion that property development costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total property development costs.

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

Any expected loss on a development project, including costs to be incurred over the defects liability period, is recognised as an expense immediately.

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

The excess of revenue recognised in profit or loss over billings to purchasers is classified as accrued billings within trade receivables and the excess of billings to purchasers over revenue recognised in profit or loss is classified as progress billings within trade payables.

2.12 Impairmentofnon-financialassets

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements30 June 2017 (continued)

63DutaLand Berhad • Annual Report 2017

2. Summaryofsignificantaccountingpolicies(continued)

2.12 Impairmentofnon-financialassets(continued)

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its 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.

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss except for assets that are previously revalued where the revaluation was taken to other comprehensive income. In this case the impairment is also recognised in other comprehensive income up to the amount of any previous revaluation.

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.

2.13 Inventories

Inventories represent completed houses and consumables, which are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost of completed houses is determined on specific identification basis and includes costs of land, construction and appropriate proportions of common cost. Cost of consumables is determined on weighted average basis.

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

2.14 Leases

(i) Aslessee

Finance lease, 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.

Lease assets are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life and the lease term.

2.14 Leases(continued)

(i) Aslessee(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.

(ii) Aslessor

Leases where the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same bases as rental income.

2.15 Borrowingcosts

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 in which 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.

2.16 Financialassets

The Group’s and the Company’s financial assets include receivables, amount due from subsidiaries, short term deposits and cash and bank balances.

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 and the category include loans and receivables.

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 only category is loans and receivables.

Loansandreceivables

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. 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.

2.16 Financialassets(continued)

Loansandreceivables(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 or convention in the marketplace concerned. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date, the date that the Group and the Company commit to purchase or sell the asset.

2.17 Impairmentoffinancialassets

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

Tradeandotherreceivables,andotherfinancialassetscarriedatamortisedcost

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, receivables 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 estimated recoverable amount. 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.

2.18 Cashandcashequivalents

For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Short-term fixed deposit pledged relates to the bank guarantee for project in Oakland Holdings Sdn Bhd and Pertama Land & Development Sdn Bhd.

2.19 Financialliabilities

Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability.

Financial liabilities 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 of the Group and of the Company are classified as other financial liabilities.

Otherfinancialliabilities

The Group’s and the Company’s other financial liabilities include borrowings, payables, amounts due to subsidiaries, affiliates and a company with common directors and corporate shareholders.

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.

Loans and 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.

2.20 Sharecapitalandshareissuanceexpenses

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.

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.

2.21 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 or assets are not recognised in the statements of financial position of the Group.

2.22 Affiliates

The Group treats the subsidiaries of its investment in a former associate as affiliates. The former associate refers to Olympia Industries Berhad (“OIB”), a corporation in which certain directors of the Company are also directors of OIB and have interest in.

2.23 Segmentreporting

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 32, including the factors used to identify the reportable segments and the measurement basis of segment information.

2.24 Non-currentassetsheldforsale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary.

Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the non-current assets is brought up-to-date in accordance with applicable FRSs. Then, on initial classification as held for sale, non-current assets are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any differences are included in the profit or loss.

2.25 Currentversusnon-currentclassification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is:

- Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;- Held primarily for the purpose of trading;- Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or- Cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for

at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months

after the reporting period.

The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

2.26 Incometaxes

(i) Currenttax

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.

(ii) Deferredtax

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 or loss 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 or loss nor taxable profit or loss; and

- in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries 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 assets 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.

2. Summaryofsignificantaccountingpolicies(continued)

2.26 Incometaxes(continued)

(ii) Deferredtax(continued)

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.

2.27 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.

2.28 Employeebenefits

(i) Shorttermbenefits

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

(ii) Definedcontributionplans

The Group and the Company participate 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 Employees 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.

2.29 Foreigncurrency

(i) Functionalandpresentationcurrency

The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economies environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in RM, which is also the Group’s and the Company’s functional currency.

Notes to the Financial Statements30 June 2017 (continued)

70 DutaLand Berhad • Annual Report 2017

2. Summaryofsignificantaccountingpolicies(continued)

2.29 Foreigncurrency(continued)

(ii) Foreigncurrencytransactions

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. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the reporting date are recognised in profit or loss except for exchange differences arising on 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. The foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified from equity to consolidated statement of comprehensive income on disposal of the foreign operation.

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 in other comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised in other comprehensive income.

2.30 Financialguaranteecontracts

As at reporting date, no values are placed on corporate guarantees provided by the Company to secure bank loans and other banking facilities granted to its subsidiaries where such loans and banking facilities are fully collateralised by fixed and floating charges over the property, plant and equipment and other assets of the subsidiaries and where the directors regard the value of the credit enhancement provided by the corporate guarantees as minimal.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.

2.31 Revenuerecognition

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. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i) Developmentproperties

Revenue from sale of properties is accounted for by the stage of completion method as described in Note 2.11.

Notes to the Financial Statements30 June 2017 (continued)

71DutaLand Berhad • Annual Report 2017

2. Summaryofsignificantaccountingpolicies(continued)

2.31 Revenuerecognition(continued)

(ii) Completedproperties/landheldforpropertydevelopment

Revenue from sale of completed properties/land held for property development is recognised in profit or loss when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.

(iii) Saleofgoods

Revenue is recognised net of sales taxes and upon transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer. 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.

(iv) Rentalincome

Rental income is recognised on accrual basis.

(v) Dividendincome

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

(vi) Managementfees

Management fees are recognised when services are rendered.

(vii) Gainfromsettlementofalitigationclaim

Gain from a litigation claim is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity.

2.32 Fairvaluemeasurement

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 and the Company.

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 participant 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 and the Company use valuation techniques that appropriate in 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements30 June 2017 (continued)

72 DutaLand Berhad • Annual Report 2017

2. Summaryofsignificantaccountingpolicies(continued)

2.32 Fairvaluemeasurement(continued)

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

(i) Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

(ii) Level 2 – Valuation techniques for the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

(iii) Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For the purposes of fair value disclosures, the Group and the Company have determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets or liabilities and the level of the of fair value hierarchy as explained above.

2.33 Significantaccountingestimatesandjudgments

(a) Criticaljudgmentsmadeinapplyingaccountingpolicies

The following are the judgments made by management in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Impairmentofbuildingunderconstruction

As disclosed in Note 14, the development of the Duta Grand Hotel project (“the Property”) had been suspended since the previous financial years. The directors of the Group and of the Company are of the view that there is no impairment on its current carrying amount as the directors’ estimated market value of the Property exceed its total carrying amount.

When estimating the fair value less cost to sell of the construction in progress, the management considered the valuers’ inputs to the valuation of the property. These include the appropriateness of the valuation model and the key assumptions used by the valuers.

Based on the impairment review, there is no impairment as the fair value of the Property exceed its total carrying amount.

(b) Keysourcesofestimationuncertainty

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:

(i) Depreciationofproperty,plantandequipment

The cost of property, plant and equipment, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these plant, machinery and equipment to be within 5% to 20% of annual rates. These are common life expectancies applied in the industry.

2.33 Significantaccountingestimatesandjudgments(continued)

(b) Keysourcesofestimationuncertainty(continued)

(i) Depreciationofproperty,plantandequipment(continued)

Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. Details of property, plant and equipment are disclosed in Note 14.

A 10% difference in the average useful lives of these assets from management’s estimates would result in approximately 10% (2016: 10%) variance in the profit for the year.

(ii) Incometaxes

Judgment is involved in determining the provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.

The Group recognises liabilities for expected tax based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Details of income taxes are disclosed in Note 12.

(iii) Impairmentofloansandreceivables

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 22.

(iv) Impairmentofinvestmentinsubsidiariesandrecoverabilityofamountowingbysubsidiaries

Based on the impairment assessment performed by the directors of the Group, indications of impairment exist as at year end as the carrying amount of certain investments were higher than the fair value of the investees’ assets.

(iv) Impairmentofinvestmentinsubsidiariesandrecoverabilityofamountowingbysubsidiaries(continued)

The Company performed an impairment assessment to determine the recoverable amount of the investment in Duta Grand Hotels Sdn Bhd (“DGH”) and amount due from DGH. Considering DGH’s underlying assets comprise the Duta Grand Hotel (“the Property”), the management estimated the recoverable amount of both investment in DGH and amount due from DGH, using fair value less cost to sell of the Property.

Hence, the management engaged a firm of independent valuers to assess the fair value less cost to sell of the Property.

Management’s process to estimate the recoverable amount of investment in DGH and amount due from DGH were significant to our audit because management considered the valuers’ inputs to the valuation of the Property. These include the appropriateness of the valuation model and the key assumptions used by the valuers.

Impairment review has been carried out on investment in subsidiaries by the Company during the year. During the financial year, impairment of investment in subsidiaries amounted to RM826,000 (2016: Nil) has been charged to profit or loss of the Company.

During the financial year, the allowances made on amounts owing by subsidiaries charged to profit or loss were RM451,000 (2016: RM2,708,000).

The High Court via Order dated 11 March 2015 allowed Defendents’ application inter-alia to strike out Plaintiffs’ case. The Plaintiffs on 14 March 2015 filed Notice of Appeal to the Court of Appeal and the Court had on 20 September 2016 allowed the appeal with costs of RM20,000. The Respondents had on 17 October 2016 filed an appeal against Court of Appeal’s decision to Federal Court. The Federal Court has yet to fix the Hearing date. The directors after consultation with their legal counsel were of the opinion that the likelihood of crystallisation of the above amount which has not been provided was not probable.

The Respondents then lodged an appeal against this decision and on 15 May 2014, the Court of Appeal allowed the appeal with cost and set aside the decision of the High Court. The Plaintiff filed an application for leave to appeal to the Federal Court which was granted on 21 June 2016. The appeal proper was heard on 22 May 2017 and allowed with costs of RM100,000. The Federal Court ordered that MSB and Mascon Construction Sdn Bhd (“MCSB”) purchase the shares owned by the Plaintiff in MRSB and that a certified public accountant be appointed to inspect the accounts of MRSB and file a report to the High Court of the results of the inspection together with payment of RM100,000 being costs to the Plaintiff for the hearing in the Federal Court and Court of Appeal.

35. Fairvalueoffinancialinstruments

(a) Determinationoffairvalue

(i) Financial instruments that are not carried at 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

Short term deposits 23 Cash and bank balances 23 Due from/to subsidiaries 20 Due to affiliates 21 Receivables 22 Payables 26 Borrowings (current) 25

The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair values due to the relatively short term nature of these financial instruments.

The carrying amount of the current portion of borrowings are reasonable approximations of fair values due to the insignificant impact of discounting.

(ii) Fair value of financial instruments by classes that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying amounts are not reasonable approximation of fair value

Carrying Fair amount value RM’000 RM’000

2017Obligations under term loan 1,936 1,751

2016Obligations under term loan - -

The fair value of obligations under term loan is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows based on current rates for similar types of borrowings and leasing arrangements.

(b) Fairvaluehierarchy

The Group and the Company do not have financial instruments carried at fair value by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

i) Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active market for identical financial instrument

ii) Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly

iii) Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data

36. Financialriskmanagementobjectivesandpolicies

The Group’s financial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the development of the Group’s businesses whilst managing its interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk. The Group operates within clearly defined guidelines that are approved by the Board and the Group’s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions.

(a) Interestraterisk

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

The Group’s and the Company’s interest rate risk arises primarily from interest-bearing borrowings. As the Group’s and Company’s borrowings are mainly obtained via fixed interest rates, the Group and the Company are not exposed to any significant fluctuation in interest rate.

The investment in financial assets are mainly short term in nature and they are not held for speculative purposes but have been mostly placed in short term deposits.

The Group has a policy to ensure that the rates obtained are competitive so as to ensure that its cost of financing is kept at the lowest possible. The Group does not generally hedge interest rate risks.

(b) Liquidityrisk

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.

The Group actively manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure that all repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the Group strive to maintain sufficient levels of cash or cash convertible investments to meet its working capital requirements.

(c) Creditrisk

Credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Credit risk is minimised and monitored via strictly limiting the Group’s associations to business partners with high creditworthiness. Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis via Group management reporting procedures.

The Group does not have any significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty nor does it have any major concentration of credit risk related to any financial instrument.

Exposure to credit risk

At the reporting date, the Group’s and the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised in the statements of financial position.

Credit risk concentration profile

The Group determines concentration of credit risk by monitoring the 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:

2017 2016 RM’000 %oftotal RM’000 %oftotal

Property development 3,538 46% 3,515 42%Plantation 2,208 28% 2,951 35%Investment holding and others 1,984 26% 1,983 23%

7,730 100% 8,449 100%

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 22. Deposits with licensed banks that are neither past due nor impaired are placed with or entered into with reputable financial institutions 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 22.

(d) Foreigncurrencyrisk

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’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates primarily relates to the Group’s operating activities (when revenue or expense are denominated in a different currency from the Group’s functional currency).

The foreign exchange exposures in transactional currencies other than functional currency of the Group are kept to an acceptable level.

The Group has not entered into any forward foreign exchange contracts as at 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016.
