MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Dear Shareholders,
Bank Negara Malaysia reports that the Malaysian economy registered a total gross domestic product (“GDP”) for the year
2018 of 4.7%, compared to a 5.9% growth in 2017. Private sector activity remained the driver for growth, while a rebound
in exports of goods and services contributed towards the positive growth of net exports. The services sector was supported
by continued strength in consumer spending, particularly in the retail segment. Growth in the manufacturing sector remained
driven by the electronics and electrical and consumer related clusters. The Department of Statistics Malaysia added that
the 4.7% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2018 was the strongest growth rate since the first quarter of the year.
Penang Property Talk commented that 2018 was another slow year for Penang housing market, with no significant
improvement in market sentiment. While the data published by National Property Information Centre (“NAPIC”) indicated a
slight increase of 4% in residential property transaction volume, the average transacted price for the residential segments
saw a slight drop of 3% from first quarter to third quarter of year 2018.
The year of 2018 had indeed been a challenging year for Grand-Flo, with both divisions striving hard to remain resilient in
its business performance and lean in cost management.
For the financial year ended 31 December 2018 (“FYE 2018”), the Group achieved profit after tax of RM5.4 million and
net profit attributable to shareholders of RM5.6 million. This resulted in earnings per share of 1.17 sen for the FYE 2018.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and management, we hereby present to you the Company’s Annual Report and Audited
Financial Statements for the FYE 2018.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 25 June 2018, Grand-Flo obtained its shareholders’ approval for:-
• acquisition of remaining 49.9996% share in Innoceria Sdn. Bhd. (“ISB”); and

• diversification of the core business of Grand-Flo Group to include construction business and construction related
activities, through Grandcon Sdn. Bhd. (“Grandcon”).
And, Grand-Flo had further announced on 6 July 2018, that the acquisition was duly completed and ISB from then is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Grand-Flo.
The inclusion of construction business and construction related activities will be beneficial for the Group in the long term
as we will be able to offer full-range of services in property development and construction. Grandcon currently holds
a Construction Industry Development Board (“CIDB”) Grade 7 License which enables Grandcon to perform building
construction, civil engineering construction and mechanical and electrical projects of any contract value in Malaysia.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (cont’d)
Financial Performance
The consolidated revenue of Grand-Flo for the FYE 2018 of RM82.1 million were lower by RM22.0 million or 21.1%
compared to RM104.1 million for the previous financial year ended 2017 (“FYE 2017”). The decrease in the Group’s revenue
was mainly due to lower sales in the Property Development division. Of the total consolidated revenue of RM82.1 million,
EDCCS division contributed 88.1% while Property Development division 11.9%.
Despite being a relatively challenging and slow year, Grand-Flo recorded consolidated profit after taxation of RM5.4 million
for the FYE 2018, down by 62.5% from the loss after taxation of RM14.5 million in the FYE 2017.
• Net revenue for the EDCCS division was RM72.3 million in the FYE 2018, a decrease of RM1.6 million, or 2.1%,
compared to RM73.9 million for the FYE 2017. The decrease was contributed by the overseas operations. Profit
after taxation were RM5.4 million in the FYE 2018, compared to RM11.7 million for the FYE 2017.
Included in the FYE 2018 profit after taxation was a fair value gain from revaluing an amount owing to a director arose
from a conditional share acquisition agreement entered with a director, amounting to RM1.0 million. Comparatively,
included in the FYE 2017 profit after taxation were :-
(i) gain on disposal of associated company in Thailand, Simat Technologies Public Company Limited of RM12.3
million; and
(ii) loss on disposal of Grand-Flo’s Penang labels production business, Kopacklabels (PG) Sdn. Bhd., of RM0.5
million and the goodwill impairment associated with its disposal of RM0.7 million.
Had the one-off items been excluded, the FYE 2018 profit after taxation would have been RM4.4 million as compared
to RM0.6 million for the FYE 2017.
• In the Property Development division, net sales were RM9.8 million in the FYE 2018, a decrease of RM20.4 million
or 67.6%, compared to RM30.2 million in the FYE 2017. The soft market condition for the property sector which had
impacted the top-line also caused the swing from profit after taxation of RM2.8 million in FYE 2017 to a small loss
after taxation of RM0.1 million for the FYE 2018.
Financial condition and liquidity of the Group remained healthy. Grand-Flo had always been cash flow focused in its
operations. The Group generated net cash flow of RM22.7 million from its operating activities as compared to RM4.1
million in the previous financial year due mainly to improved net working capital inflow. The cash used in investing activities
of RM13.0 million was primarily for redemption of preference shares from non-controlling interests and acquisition of
ownership interest of a subsidiary from non-controlling interest. And, net cash used in financing activities of RM15.2 million
was mainly attributed to the repayment of bank borrowings and advances of RM11.2 million and payment of FYE 2017
final single-tier dividend of RM2.8 million.
The management also made regular reviews on the inventory level, as well as turnover days for inventories, receivables
and payables.
EDCCS
The Malaysia region of the EDCCS segment recorded steady revenue of RM62.4 million in the FYE 2018 as compared to
RM62.0 million in the FYE 2017, mainly from the retail, government-linked companies and logistics industries. The overseas
operations, however, saw a decrease in revenue of approximately RM1.9 million. Overall, the EDCCS division achieved
a profit after taxation of RM4.4 million (net of one-off gain) for the FYE 2018, attributed mainly to the higher sales margin
from its sales mix.
The EDCCS research and development team continues its efforts for the provision of asset management solutions for the
future by making full use of its expertise, including the use of Radio-Frequency Identification (“RFID”) technology. Our 1st
completed RFID project was the latest version of the asset tracking system.
10
ANNUAL REPORT 2018
In FYE 2017, we had reported that we had successfully converted our proprietary solution, ManageSuiteTM, to be executable
across various operating systems. This year, the team had moved on to the development of ManageSales data management
system, which emphasises on amongst others, comprehensive security for data, data integrity and interactive queries.
Also, the team had completed the development of three smart applications on Android platform. We believe that this
breakthrough into Android will allow more flexibility and wider coverage at a lower cost for our customers.
Grand-Flo believes that it has to continuously explore the potentials of the EDCCS technology in order to continue serving
the demands of both existing and new clientele in manufacturing, retail and fast-moving consumer goods sectors, and to
reiterate Grand-Flo’s reputation as a full-service and integrated tracking solutions player in this market.
Property Development
The soft market condition for property sector continues to haunt the Group’s Property Development division. The weak
revenue and results in the FYE 2018 was due to low new sales. The continued strategic marketing and advertising, including
participation in various roadshows, easy ownership scheme, various promotions, and engagement in social media, did
not give us the awaited results. In view of the overall economic condition in Malaysia, the Group did not venture into new
development projects during the financial year under review.
With the view that property sector will recover soon, in the meantime, Grand-Flo is looking into possibility of joint development
for affordable homes with land owners at strategic locations. The Group also hopes that the diversification into construction
business, which is complementary to the existing Property Development division, will be an additional revenue stream to
enhance its earning base in the near future.
‘Vortex Business Park’
‘Vortex Business Park’, a commercial development located in

Batu Kawan, features 60 units of 4-storey semi-detached shop
offices and 52 units of 4-storey light industrial factories on
8.4-hectare freehold land. With total Gross Development Value
(“GDV”) of RM220.0 million, the project aims to be a prominent
business centre in the area, tapping into consistent demand
for smaller yet conveniently-situated commercial properties.
Phase 1 was officially completed in July 2017, with 86.8% take-

up as at year ended 2018. Despite the strenuous condition,
the division had proceed with the launch of Phase 2 during the
financial year under review, putting the build-then-sell strategy
to test again. As at the year end of FYE 2018, approximately
46% of works completed for Phase 2. The Group remain
confident that the project would be well received by our target
markets in line with the accelerated developments in the
neighbouring areas.
‘The Glades’
‘The Glades’ is a 3.3-hectare freehold land of exclusive gated

and guarded luxury residences in Bukit Mertajam, showcasing
76 units of 2- and 3-storey semi-D and zero-lot bungalows. The
RM63.0 million GDV low-density project aims to be a private
enclave for the discerning, with the contemporary clubhouse
fulfilling the demands of distinctive lifestyles. Launched in
February 2015, this project was officially completed in June
2017. ‘The Glades’ have achieved 60.5% take-up rate as at
year ended 2018, which is only 5.2% higher compared to year
ended 2017.
11
ANNUAL REPORT 2018
Capital Expenditure
Grand-Flo had invested substantially in solution development by EDCCS division in the early stages of setup and currently
only needs to undergo regular technology refreshes to cater to customer requirements. And, the Property Development
division had been looking into prospective joint developments and/or acquisition of land.
For the FYE 2018, EDCCS incurred approximately RM1.1 million for solutions upgrade, maintenance and replacement
purposes whilst the property division was evaluating joint development and land acquisition proposals.
Gearing
Grand-Flo’s gearing ratio remained nil as at 31 December 2018, since the last financial year ended 31 December 2017. This
was achieved by settlement of term loans with the sale proceeds from disposals of associated company and subsidiary
during the FYE 2017.
Dividend
The Group has always recognised dividend pay-out as one of the important elements in enhancing its shareholder value
and in view of the FYE 2018 results, the Board of Directors is pleased to propose a final single tier dividend of 0.50 sen
per share. Grand-Flo believes in creating long-term shareholder value by paying regular dividends thereby preserving the
value of their shareholdings.
Business Risks
The Group identified the following anticipated or known risks that may have a material effect on our operations i.e. operational
and financial performance risks and liquidity risks. Analysis of other financial risks such as credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign
currency risk as well as interest rate risk are discussed in Note 46 to the financial statements.
Competition and technological obsolescence risk
Moving further into the digital era, we expect competition to increase and could erode our market position or pricing power.
With the rapid development of technologies, especially from the foreign players, our EDCCS division is also subject to
inherent risk of technological obsolescence. As such, we seek to minimise these risks by actively and continuously pursuing
technological advancements to keep abreast with the latest technology direction, adopting industry best practices and
forming strategic business alliance with key technology providers to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our
customers.
Economic and regulatory risk
Any adverse developments in economic and regulatory condition could materially affect our Group’s involvement in
the property development and construction industry. Budget 2019 introduced several measures that are expected to
dampen the property sector. Real Property Gains Tax (“RPGT”) rates increased by 5% with effect from 1 January 2019,
for companies, Malaysian individuals and foreigners disposing of real properties held for more than five years. And, stamp
duties for property transfers valued more than RM1 million will be increased from 3% to 4%. The Group seeks to limit the
impact by monitoring and adapting business strategies in response to the change.
Forward Statement
Grand-Flo remains committed to driving shareholder’s value with revenue growth, operating leverage, cash flow generation,
and efficient capital deployment. We strive to optimise our capital structure to enable prioritised investments in the business
and land acquisitions as a source of generating solid future operating cash flows.
Moving into 2019, EDCCS business being well-equipped with its technological advancement, would be well-positioned
to compete in both the core markets and adjacent growth areas. Not only do we have a broad spectrum of products and
services portfolio, we also explore change requests with our customers which will benefit both parties, where our customers
gets their request done and we get to enhance our products with that same feature.
12
ANNUAL REPORT 2018
A recent market research by MarketsandMarkets™ reveals that Asia Pacific region is expected to be the fastest-growing
market for RFID and barcode printers during the forecast period of 2017-2022. Transition toward organised retailing and
smart manufacturing are some of the factors expected to drive the growth of the RFID and barcode printer market, and
our EDCCS division is already ready to capture this new segment.
On the property front, Grand-Flo remains optimistic that the division will achieve better results in 2019 despite outlook that
property market is unlikely to see a broad spectrum recovery. We believe that during slow market, we have to highlight the
unique features in our projects as compared to others, so that our products are more attractive and remain competitive.
The stamp duty exemption on instrument of transfer for a first-time house buyer purchasing a house priced between
RM300,001 and RM1 million for six months period ending 30 June 2019 would be an additional boost to our marketing
strategy for ‘The Glades’. The Glades took this opportunity to launch a new show house in February 2019 which ended
with good response turnout and secured sales.
2019 OUTLOOK
The Ministry of Finance (“MoF”) has forecasted a growth rate of 4.9% for Malaysia in 2019, supported by sound domestic
demand. According to MoF’s report, the private sector expenditure is expected to remain as the key driver of the Malaysia’s
economic growth, cushioning the effect of lower public sector spending in 2018 and 2019. On the supply side, growth is
expected to be driven by the services and manufacturing sectors. The services sector is projected to remain firm supported
by consumption and domestic tourism activities, as well as strong demand for information and communications technology,
transport and finance. The MoF also projected that the manufacturing sector will record steady growth in tandem with
developments in the global semiconductor industry.
In 2019, MoF expects the construction sector to improve marginally following an increase in new planned supply in the
affordable homes and industrial segments.
Speaking to media during the CBRE | WTW 2019 Asia Pacific Real Estate Market Outlook Report, its managing director
expressed that the property and real estate market for Malaysia in 2019 will remain challenging across all property sectors.
Industrial properties, however, remain as a bright spot amidst the sluggish property outlook in 2019. Property overhang
amounted to about 30,000 units in 2018 with take up rates for unsold units of high-rise residential and high-end products
are extremely slow.
In light of the various market outlook, we at Grand-Flo, aim to capture the opportunities presented in the economy growth
expansion potentially in the services and manufacturing sectors to grow our EDCCS division and the supply of affordable
homes and industrial properties to grow our Property Development division.
CONCLUSION
We wish to thank all of our stakeholders, including our shareholders, Board of Directors, management, employees,
customers, suppliers, business associates, communities and regulators, for your unwavering support.

SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT (cont’d)
GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
Grand-Flo does not have a specific Sustainability Committee at the Board of Directors (“Board”) level. The Group Managing
Director/ Group President (“GMD/GP”) plays the role of the Chief Sustainability Officer, reporting directly to the Board on
any sustainability matters from time to time. The Board sets the strategy and oversees the integration of sustainability
initiatives across the Group. The Executive Directors and Senior Management Team then identify, evaluate, monitor and
manage the implementation of the corporation’s sustainability approach, and track the progress, as part of the overall
management’s operational task.
Grand-Flo is still evaluating the sustainability governance structure below. Board and Senior Management Team wants to
ensure participation of key staff and identified stakeholders, in order to embrace the vision of sustainability in its entirety.
The Sustainability Working Committee’s duties would include collating information, collecting feedback from stakeholders,
driving initiatives and addressing issues.

SCOPE AND BASIS
This report focuses on 2 major key operating operations, i.e. EDCCS and Property Development in Malaysia. Emphasis is
placed on these operations as they contribute 88% to the Group’s revenue for FYE 2018. Other overseas operations do
not have significant impact to the Group’s operations in terms of economic, environmental and social elements.
REPORTING PERIOD
This report covers the period from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018. There are no significant restatements of data
compared to prior years.
IDENTIFICATION OF STAKEHOLDERS
Although we have not conducted a specific exercise to identify and prioritise our stakeholders in a structured manner,
Grand-Flo had so far identified the following stakeholders in the course of our business operations. We believed that
as we moved further along our sustainability journey, more stakeholders would be identified in order to obtain a more
comprehensive and constructive feedback on sustainability matters through stakeholders’ engagement. Our sustainability
approach takes into consideration the impact of our activities to stakeholders and their concerns.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018
Financial sustainability
Grand-Flo strives to build long term value for our stakeholders by maintaining stable business environment, consistent
financial performance and prudent cashflow management. Market environment continued to be challenging, especially for
the Property Development division. Group revenue had dropped further in the FYE 2018, as compared to the financial year
ended 31 December 2017 (“FYE 2017”) and 31 December 2016 (“FYE 2016”). However, the Group managed to maintain
profitable in FYE 2018 – attributed mainly to the lean operations of the EDCCS division.
Financial stability is the key focus of the Board. The GMD/GP, Division Heads including Finance team form the steering
team to ensure the Group sets reasonable forecasts and achieves its financial goals. The steering team had scrutinised
the sales performance and forecasts every quarter to ensure that necessary actions are carried out on a timely manner.
For more insight on the financial performance of the Group, please refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis and
Financial Highlights.
Acknowledging the importance of good business ethics and corporate governance with the objective of upholding
transparency, accountability and integrity, Grand-Flo applies and complies with the principles in corporate governance as
set out in the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2017 pursuant to the Listing Requirements of the Bursa Securities.
Product and service responsibility
In the EDCCS division, we established ourselves as a market leader locally with proven track records and with the support
of our product business partners and many loyal customers, we are certain to maintain this status. This is certainly true
as we have the responsibility to ensure strict and continuous compliance to our business partners’ stringent and high
international standards of world renowned brands in EDCCS. In FYE 2018, the EDCCS division had secured 120 new
customers which had contributed to 6.4% of the EDCCS division revenue.
Grand-Flo Spritvest Sdn. Bhd., a wholly-owned subsidiary, was awarded Zebra

Top Partner Gold Award 2018 and Sektor Outstanding Sales Achievement Award
2018. These awards are recognitions of our competitiveness in the market and a
motivation to our team, especially the technical personnel and R&D team, to pursue
technological advancement.
Customer satisfaction and feedback were also identified among the important
material sustainability matters across all divisions. Knowing what customers expect
from us makes it easier for us to strengthen and market our products and services,
and hence strengthen our reputation in the long term.
For our Property Development division, we continued to participate in various roadshows at Tesco Alma, Aeon Alma and
Queensbay Mall. Although we have not conducted any formal customer satisfaction surveys, our marketing team had
always welcomed feedbacks which would provide us with insights into customer expectations that enabled us to develop
and deliver better products and services.
In FYE 2018, our Property Development division had also launched easy ownership schemes with the hope to assist keen
buyers to own our property at attractive price rebates.
24
ANNUAL REPORT 2018
Compliance with Regulatory Authorities and waste management
We make it a priority to ensure compliance and strict adherence to environmental requirements and authorities guidelines,
especially in all our development sites. In line with our efforts to comply with the regulatory requirements, we practice
close engagement with relevant authorities and our contractors to ensure clear mutual understanding of the requirements.
In line with the regulations governing scheduled waste, we store scheduled waste at a designated place and only a
scheduled waste handler licensed by Department of Environment is allowed to handle the transportation and disposal
of the scheduled waste. We have yet to put in place any means to measure the total weight of both scheduled and non-
scheduled waste generated by Property Development division, but we are in the process of exploring available approaches
with our contractors.
Usage of aluminium form work, in replacement of the conventional timber form work would reduce the carbon foot print.
Environment-friendly
Grand-Flo is committed to operate its business in a responsible and environmentally friendly manner. Reducing, reusing
and recycling papers, switching off lights and air-conditioners when they are not in use and usage of energy efficient bulbs
are among some of the conservation measures taken by the Group.
It is our Group’s policy to practice zero burning throughout the development projects. This will save the environment from
pollution.
Positive workplace culture and employee well-being
“We must motivate ourselves and our people to realise our vision by applying our core values and work towards our mission.”
– This has been part of our workplace charter, as we recognised our employees as strength and valuable assets of the
Group. Grand-Flo continues to maintain a positive workplace culture where our employees are able to perform at their best
to deliver sustained high performance. We encourage two-way communication between employees and their superiors
to ensure share of thoughts and also work grievances, in order to improve work processes and working environment.
Although trainings, both technical and soft skills, are still based on individual needs, the management reckons that a yearly
structured training calendar would be important to address the training and development needs for all levels of staff, in
order to develop the talent pool for progression and succession planning for business continuity for the years to come.
The Group is committed to ensure matter of importance to the welfare of the employees are taken care of. Some of our
employee welfare, including medical allowances, hospitalisation and life insurance, travelling and transport allowances,
parental leaves, are reviewed annually to ensure that the benefits schemes meet employees’ needs. The Sports Club
organises various activities for the employees to promote work-life balance and social communication among colleagues.
It is an annual agenda at our Annual Dinner to acknowledge and present long service awards to staff who has shown their
loyalty, dedication and contribution over the years. In FYE 2018, 2 employees received the 20 years’ service award, while
9 others received the 10 years’ service award.
The number and rate of employee turnover are always monitored and discussed in our management meetings.

Due to confidentiality and sensitivity of the remuneration packages of Senior Management as well as security
concerns, the Board opts not to disclose the Senior Management’s remuneration components on named
basis in the bands of RM50,000.
The Board is of the view that the disclosure of the Senior Management’s remuneration components would
not be in the best interest of the Company given that the competitive human resources environment as such
disclosure may give rise to recruitment and talent retention issues.

members of the AC are financially literate, whilst the Chairman of the AC is a member of the Malaysian Institute
of Accountants.

whether such AC and members have carried out their duties in accordance with the Terms of Reference of
the AC.

place a policy that requires a former key partner to observe a cooling-off period of at least two (2) years before

Auditors which facilitate the Group to seek professional advice on matters relating to compliance and corporate
governance. The internal audit function of the Group is outsourced to third party. Similar to the External
Auditors, Internal Auditors too have direct reporting access to the AC to ensure that issues highlighted are
addressed independently, objectively and impartially without any undue influence from the Management.

management systems. The key features of the risk management framework are set out in the Statement on
Risk Management and Internal Control included in this Annual Report 2018.
The Board has established internal control policies and procedures which are monitored to ensure that such
policies and procedures are implemented and effectively carried out by the Management team. The Group

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To The Members of Grand-Flo Berhad
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Grand-Flo Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial position of
the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2018, and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the
financial year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies, as set out on pages 61 to 171.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group
and of the Company as at 31 December 2018, and of their financial performance and cash flows for the financial
year then ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting
Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.
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 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.
Allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables
The risk
The Group has a material amount of trade receivables amounting to RM10,460,455 as disclosed in Note 46(a)(i) to
the financial statements whereby the amount is past due but not impaired. The key associate risk is recoverability of
billed trade receivables as management judgement is required in assessing the adequacy of allowance for expected
credit losses by considering the expected recoverability of the outstanding trade receivables.
Our response
We have challenged management’s assumptions in providing allowance for expected credit losses of trade
receivables. Our procedures includes reviewing the ageing of trade receivables, testing the integrity of ageing,
reviewing by recalculating the due date for a number of invoices and assessed the recoverability of outstanding
receivables through examination of subsequent cash receipts. We have also tested the operating effectiveness of
the relevant control procedures that management has in place.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

To The Members of Grand-Flo Berhad (cont’d)
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements (cont’d)
Key Audit Matters (cont’d)
Inventories valuation
The risk
The Group holds significant amount of inventories for finished goods amounting to RM3,524,536 as disclosed in
Note 12 to the financial statements which are subject to a risk that the inventories might become slow-moving or
obsolete and rendering them not saleable or can only be sold for selling prices that are less than the carrying value.
Judgement is required to access the appropriate level of provision for items which may be ultimately sold below cost.
Our response
We have tested the methodology for calculating the allowances, challenged the appropriateness and consistency of
judgements and assumptions, considered the nature and suitability of historical data used in estimating the underlying
allowances. We have compared the allowance with actual historical results by the ageing profile and expiry date of
inventory, the process for identifying specific problem inventories and historical loss rates. We have attended physical
inventories count in warehouses and tested samples that the quantities and value have been correctly calculated
and reflected in the accounting records. We have also enquired the management the judgement taken and the
basis of allowance provided regarding obsolete inventories which have been adjusted in the accounting records.
Revenue recognition of property development
The risk
The Group recorded revenue of property development amounting to RM9,764,856 for the financial year ended 31
December 2018 as disclosed in Note 34 to the financial statements. There are significant accounting judgements
involved in determining the stage of completion, the timing of revenue recognition and the calculation under the
percentage-of-completion method made by management in applying the Group’s revenue recognition policies
entered into by the Group.
Our response
We have performed a range of audit procedures which included obtaining a sample of contracts, reviewing for
change orders, retrospectively reviewing estimated profit and costs to complete and enquiring key personnel
regarding adjustments for job costing and potential contract losses. We have also performed testing procedures
over routine sales transactions.
Impairment of goodwill on consolidation
The risk
The Group holds goodwill on consolidation of RM33,447,524, as disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements.
The carrying values of goodwill on consolidation are dependent on future cash flows of the underlying cash-
generating units (“CGUs”) and there is risk that if these cash flows do not meet management’s expectations the
assets will be impaired. This risk increases in periods when the Group’s trading performance and projections do
not meet prior expectations.
The impairment review performed by management contains a number of significant judgements and estimates
including CGU identification, operating profit forecasts, cash conversion, perpetuity growth rates and discount
rates. Changes in these assumptions can result in materially different impairment charges or available headroom.
58
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

Key Audit Matters (cont’d)
Impairment of goodwill on consolidation (cont’d)
Our response
Our procedures includes assessing the reasonableness of the key assumption applied by the Group in determining
the recoverable amount of the above CGUs. In particular, we have evaluated the appropriateness and consistency
of the underlying assumptions in determining the cash flows forecast and projections, specifically revenue growth
discount factor and margin assumptions. We have considered the historical forecast accuracy, compared forecast
cash flows to those currently being achieve by the CGUs. We have also assessed the future cash flows projection
to known or probable changes in the business environment.
There is no key audit matter to be communicated in respect of the audit of the financial statements of the Company.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report Thereon
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprise the
information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company and our auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover the other information and
we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, our responsibility is to
read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the financial statements of the Group and of the Company or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Statements
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the
Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International
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.
59
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

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 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 Group or 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.
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.
60
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (cont’d)
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.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia, we report that the subsidiaries of
which we have not acted as auditors, are disclosed in Note 5 to the financial statements.
Other Matters
1. As stated in Note 2.4.1 to the Financial Statements, Grand-Flo Berhad, adopted Malaysian Financial
Reporting Standards on 1 January 2018 with transition date of 1 January 2017. The standards were applied
retrospectively by the Directors to the comparative information in these financial statements, including the
statements of financial position as at 31 December 2017 and 1 January 2017, and the statements of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for
the year ended 31 December 2017 and related disclosures. We were not engaged to report on the MFRS
transition comparative information and it is unaudited. Our responsibilities as part of our audit of the financial
statements of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 have in these circumstances,
included obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence that the opening balances as at 1 January 2018 do
not contain misstatements that materially affect the financial position as at 31 December 2018 and financial
performance and cash flows for the financial year then ended.
2. This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of
the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other
person for the content of this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

– 31 December 2018
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia and is listed on the
Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The registered office of the Company is located at Third
Floor, No. 77, 79 & 81, Jalan SS 21/60, Damansara Utama, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan. The
principal place of business of the Company is located at No. 3-5, Block D2, Jalan PJU 1/39, Dataran Prima,
47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan.
The principal activities of the Company are the provision of information technology solutions and investment
holding. The principal activities of the subsidiaries and associates are disclosed in Note 5 and Note 6 to the
financial statements respectively.

There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities of the Company and its subsidiaries
during the financial year.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution
of the Board of Directors passed on 11 April 2019.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 Statement of Compliance
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”), International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.
2.2 Basis of Measurement

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared under the historical cost
convention, except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued
amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period as indicated in the summary of significant
accounting policies.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods
and services.
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
in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most
advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be
accessible to by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic
best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial market 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.
73
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

– 31 DECEMBER 2018 (cont’d)
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT’D)
2.2 Basis of Measurement (cont’d)
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient
data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising
the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that
is significant to their fair value measurement as a whole:-
- Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to their fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
- Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to their fair value
measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the
Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing
categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to their fair value measurement as a
whole) at the end of each reporting period.
2.3 Functional and Presentation Currency

The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the Company’s functional
currency and all values are rounded to the nearest RM except when otherwise stated.
2.4 Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”)
2.4.1 First-time Adoption of Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”)
In the previous years, the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were prepared
in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”) issued by Malaysian Accounting
Standards Board (“MASB”).
These are the Group’s and the Company’s first financial statements prepared in accordance with
MFRS and MFRS 1, First-time Adoption of Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards has been
applied.
The accounting policies set out in Note 3 to the financial statements have been applied in
preparing the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the financial year ended
31 December 2018, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the
financial year ended 31 December 2017 and in the preparation of the opening MFRS statements
of financial position at 1 January 2017 (the date of transition to MFRS).
The transition to MFRS does not have financial impact to the opening statements of financial
position of the Group and of the Company as at 1 January 2017.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

2.4 Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”) (cont’d)
2.4.2 Adoption of New Standards/Amendments/Improvements to MFRSs
The Group and the Company have consistently applied the accounting policies set out in Note
3 to all periods presented in these financial statements.
At the beginning of the current financial year, the Group and the Company adopted new standards/
amendments/improvements to MFRSs which are mandatory for the financial periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2018.
Initial application of the new standards/amendments/improvements to the standards did not have
material impact to the financial statements, except for:-
MFRS 9 Financial Instruments
MFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all three
aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement, impairment,
and hedge accounting.
The Group and the Company applied MFRS 9 prospectively, with an initial application date of
1 January 2018. The Group and the Company have not restated the comparative information,
which continues to be reported under MFRS 139. Differences arising from the adoption of MFRS
9 have been recognised directly in retained earnings and other components of equity.
(i) Classification and measurement
Under MFRS 9, debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or
loss, amortised cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income. The classification
is based on two criteria: the Group’s and the Company’s business model for managing the
assets; and whether the instruments’ contractual cash flows represent ‘solely payments of
principal and interest’ on the principal amount outstanding.
The assessment of the Group’s and the Company’s business model were made as of the
date of initial application, 1 January 2018. The assessment of whether contractual cash
flows on debt instruments are solely comprised of principal and interest was made based
on the facts and circumstances as at the initial recognition of the assets.
The classification and measurement requirements of MFRS 9 did not have a significant
impact to the Group and the Company. The Group and the Company continued measuring
at fair value all financial assets previously held at fair value under MFRS 139. The following
are the changes in the classification of the Group’s and of the Company’s financial assets:-
• Trade receivables classified as Loans and Receivables as at 31 December 2017

are held to collect contractual cash flows and give rise to cash flows representing
solely payments of principal and interest. These are classified and measured as Debt
instruments at amortised cost beginning 1 January 2018.
• Other investment classified as Available-for-Sales (“AFS”) financial assets as at 31

December 2017 are classified and measured as Finance assets at fair value through
profit or loss beginning 1 January 2018. The Group elected to classify irrevocably
its non-listed equity investments under this category as it intends to hold these
investments for the foreseeable future. There were no impairment losses recognised
in profit or loss for these investments in prior periods.

MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
MFRS 15 supercedes MFRS 111 Construction Contracts, MFRS 118 Revenue and related
Intepretations and it applies, with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts
with customers. MFRS 15 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from
contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount that reflects
the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or
services to a customer.
MFRS 15 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts
and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The
standard also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the
costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. In addition, the standard requires extensive disclosures.
The Group adopted MFRS 15 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date
of initial application of 1 January 2018. Under this method, the standard can be applied either to
all contracts at the date of initial application or only to contracts that are not completed at this
date. The Group elected to apply the standard to all contracts as at 1 January 2018.
The cumulative effect of initially applying MFRS 15 is recognised at the date of initial application
as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Therefore, the comparative
information was not restated and continues to be reported under MFRS 111, MFRS 118 and
related interpretations.
The effect of adopting MFRS 15 as at 1 January 2018 was, as follows:-

MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (cont’d)
The nature of the adjustments as at 1 January 2018 and the reasons for the significant changes
in the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2018 and the statements of profit or
loss for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 are described below:-
(i) Rendering of services
The Group involves in repair and services within the information technology segment.
These services are sold either on their own in contracts with the customers or non-contract
customer with the provision of information technology solutions to a customer. The Group
recognises service revenue when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
seller and the amount of revenue and cost incurred in respect of transaction can be measured
reliably. Contract liabilities increased by RM173,321 with a corresponding increased in
retained earnings by the same amount as at 1 January 2018.
As at 31 December 2018, MFRS 15 increased other receivables by RM494,933; increased

contract liabilities by RM122,229; and increased retained earnings by RM372,704 for the
2.5 Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and
interpretations to existing standards have been published by the Malaysian Accounting Standards
Board but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the Group and the Company.
Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Group’s
and the Company’s accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the
pronouncement.
New standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to have financial impact on the
Group’s and the Company’s financial statements are provided below. Certain other new standards and
interpretations have been issued, but are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s and
the Company’s financial statements.
MFRS 16 Leases

MFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and it replaces MFRS 117 Leases, IC Interpretation 4 Determining
whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating
the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. MFRS 16 sets out the principles for
the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account
for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under
MFRS 117. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of ’low-value’ assets
(e.g., personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less).
At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e.,
the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term
(i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest expense on
the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.
79
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

2.5 Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective (cont’d)
MFRS 16 Leases (cont’d)
Lessees will be also required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events
(e.g., a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an
index or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee will generally recognise the amount of
the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
Lessor accounting under MFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from today’s accounting under MFRS
117. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in MFRS 117
and distinguish between two types of leases: operating and finance leases.
MFRS 16, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, requires lessees
and lessors to make more extensive disclosures than under MFRS 117.
Transition to MFRS 16
The Group plans to adopt MFRS 16 retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. The Group
will elect to apply the standard to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying MFRS
117 and IC Interpretation 4. The Group will therefore not apply the standard to contracts that were not
previously identified as containing a lease applying MFRS 117 and IC Interpretation 4.
The Group will elect to use the exemptions proposed by the standard on lease contracts for which the
lease terms ends within 12 months as of the date of initial application, and lease contracts for which
the underlying asset is of low value. The Group has leases of certain office equipment (i.e., personal
computers, printing and photocopying machines) that are considered of low value.
During 2018, the Group has performed a detailed impact assessment of MFRS 16. In summary the
impact of MFRS 16 adoption is expected to be, as follows:-
Impact on the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2018:-

Property, plant and equipment (right-of-use assets) 33,405

Profit for the financial year (873)
Due to the adoption of MFRS 16, the Group’s operating profit will improve, while its interest expense
will increase. This is due to the change in the accounting for expenses of leases that were classified
as operating leases under MFRS 117.
2.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the
financial statements. They affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. Estimates and underlying
assumptions are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management,
and will seldom equal the estimated results.
2.6.1 Estimation Uncertainties
Information about significant judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant
effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed
below.
Revaluation of property, plant and equipment
The Group measures its land and buildings at revalued amount with changes in fair value being
recognised in other comprehensive income. The Group engaged independent valuation specialists
to determine fair values as at 31 December 2017.
The carrying amount of the land and buildings at the end of the reporting period, and the relevant
revaluation bases, are disclosed in Note 4 to the financial statements.

2.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements (cont’d)
2.6.1 Estimation Uncertainties (cont’d)
Information about significant judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant
effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed
below (cont’d).
Useful lives of depreciable assets
Management estimates the useful lives of the property, plant and equipment to be within 2 to 86
years and reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets at the end each of the reporting period.
At 31 December 2018, management assesses that the useful lives represent the expected utility
of the assets to the Group. Actual results, however, may vary due to change in the expected level
of usage and technological developments, which resulting the adjustment to the Group’s assets.
The carrying amount of the Group’s property, plant and equipment at the end of the reporting
period is disclosed in Note 4 to the financial statements.
Impairment of goodwill
Impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit
(“CGU”)’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. To determine the recoverable
amount, management estimates expected future cash flows from each CGU and determines a
suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. In the process of
measuring expected future cash flows, management makes assumptions about future operating
results. These assumptions relate to future events and circumstances. The actual result may vary,
and may cause significant adjustments to the Group’s assets within the next financial year.
Further details of the carrying values, key assumptions applied in the impairment assessment of
goodwill and sensitivity analysis to changes in the assumptions are disclosed in Note 9 to the
financial statements.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment
The Group carried out impairment tests where there are indications of impairment based on a
variety of estimation including value-in-use of CGU to which the property, plant and equipment
are allocated. Estimating the value-in-use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected
future cash flows from CGU and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate
present value of those cash flows.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In estimating net realisable
values, management takes into account the most reliable evidence available at the times the
estimates are made. The Group’s core business is subject to economical and technology changes
which may cause selling prices to change rapidly, and the Group’s profit to change.
The carrying amount of the Group’s inventories at the end of the reporting period is disclosed in
Note 12 to the financial statements.

82
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

Fair value of financial instruments
Management uses valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of financial instruments
where active market quotes are not available. Details of the assumptions used are given in the
notes regarding financial assets and liabilities. In applying the valuation techniques management
makes maximum use of market inputs, and uses estimates and assumptions that are, as far
as possible, consistent with observable data that market participants would use in pricing the
instrument. Where applicable data is not observable, management uses its best estimate about
the assumptions that market participants would make. These estimates may vary from the actual
prices that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the end of the reporting period.
Allowance for expected credit losses of trade receivables
The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables. The provision rates
are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments that have similar loss
patterns (i.e., by geography, product type, customer type and rating, and coverage by letters of
credit and other forms of credit insurance).
The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The
Group will calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking
information. For instance, if forecast economic conditions (i.e., gross domestic product) are
expected to deteriorate over the next year which can lead to an increased number of defaults
in the property development and Enterprise Data Collection and Collation System, the historical
default rates are adjusted. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated
and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic
conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in
circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Group’s historical credit loss experience
and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customer’s actual default
in the future. The information about the ECLs on the Group’s trade receivables is disclosed in
Note 46(a)(i) to the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unutilised tax losses,
unabsorbed capital allowances and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which all the deductible temporary differences, unutilised tax
losses and unabsorbed capital allowances can be utilised. Significant management judgement
is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon
the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
Assumptions about generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of

future cash flows. These depend on estimates of future production and sales volume, operating
costs, capital expenditure, dividends and other capital management transactions. Judgement
is also required about application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions
are subject to risks and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances
will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets recognised in the
statement of financial position and the amount of unrecognised tax losses and unrecognised
temporary differences.
83
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

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

project management system. Significant judgement is required in distinguishing research from
the development phase. Development costs are recognised as an asset when all the criteria are
met, whereas research costs are expensed as incurred.
To distinguish any research-type project phase from the development phase, it is the Group’s
accounting policy to also require a detailed forecast of sales or cost savings expected to be
generated by the intangible asset. The forecast is incorporated into the Group’s overall budget
forecast as the capitalisation of development costs commences. This ensures that managerial
accounting, impairment testing procedures and accounting for internally-generated intangible
assets is based on the same data.
The Group’s management also monitors whether the recognition requirements for development
costs continue to be met. This is necessary as the economic success of any product development
is uncertain and may be subject to future technical problems after the time of recognition.

Property development revenue
The Group recognises property development revenue and expenses in the statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income 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. Significant judgement
is required in determining the stage of completion, the extent of the property development costs
incurred, the estimated total property development revenue and costs, as well as the recoverability
of the property development costs. In making the judgement, the Group evaluates based on past
experience and by relying on the work of specialists.
The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the Group arising from property development
activities are disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements.
84
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

2.6.2 Significant Management Judgement
The following are significant management judgement in applying the accounting policies of the
Group that have the most significant effect on the financial statements.
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group applied the following judgements that significantly affect the determination of the
amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers:-
Identifying performance obligations in repair and maintenance services
The Group provides repair and maintenance services that are sold on their own in contracts with
the customers or non-contract customer with the provision of information technology solutions to
a customer. The repair and maintenance services are a promise to transfer services in the future.
The Group concluded that revenue for repair and maintenance services is to be recognised over
time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the
Group. The fact that another entity would not need to re-perform the repair and maintenance
that the Group has provided to date demonstrates that the customer simultaneously receives
and consumes the benefits of the Group’s performance as it performs.
The Group determined that the input method is the best method in measuring progress of the
repair and maintenance services because there is a direct relationship between the Group’s effort
and the transfer of service to the customer.
Leases
In applying the classification of leases in MFRS 117, management considers some of its leases of
motor vehicle as finance lease arrangements. The lease transaction is not always conclusive, and
management uses judgement in determining whether the lease is a finance lease arrangement
that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership, whether the lease
term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset even if title is not transferred and others
in accordance with MFRS 117 Leases.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Group and the Company apply the significant accounting policies as summarised below, consistently
throughout all periods presented in the financial statements.
3.1 Consolidation
3.1.1 Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities, including structured entities, controlled by the Group. Control exists when
the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and
has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Potential voting rights are
considered when assessing control only when such rights are substantive. Besides, the Group
considers it has de facto power over an investee when, despite not having the majority of voting
rights, it has the current ability to direct the activities of the investee that significantly affect the
investee’s return.
85
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
3.1 Consolidation (cont’d)
3.1.1 Subsidiaries (cont’d)
Investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost less any impairment losses in the Group’s financial
position, unless the investment is held for sale or distribution. The cost of investments includes
transaction costs.
Upon the disposal of investment in a subsidiary, the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and its carrying amount is included in profit or loss.
3.1.2 Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate the audited financial statements of the Company
and all of its subsidiaries, which have been prepared in accordance with the Group’s accounting
policies. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where
necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. The financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are all drawn up to the same reporting date.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions
between entities of the Group (profits or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are
recognised in asset, such as inventory and property, plant and equipment) are eliminated in full
in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Intragroup losses may indicate an impairment
that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Temporary differences arising
from the elimination of profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions will be treated in
accordance to Note 3.19.2 of the financial statements.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are
no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases.
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.
3.1.3 Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition
is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date
fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business
combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree
either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition
costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic
circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation
of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s
previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date
through profit or loss.
86
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.1.3 Business combinations and goodwill (cont’d)
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value
at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration
which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with MFRS 9 either
in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration
is classified as equity, it will not be remeasured. Subsequent settlement is accounted for within
equity. In instances where the contingent consideration does not fall within the scope of MFRS
9, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate MFRS.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration
transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets
of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs that are expected to benefit from the
combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to
those units.
Where goodwill forms part of a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of,
the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the
operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of
in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and
the portion of the CGU retained.
3.1.4 Loss of control
Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of
the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the
subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss.
If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair
value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity accounted
investee or as a designated fair value through profit or loss financial asset depending on the level
of influence retained.
3.1.5 Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the equity in a subsidiary
not attributable directly or indirectly to the equity holders of the Company, are presented in the
consolidated statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity within equity,
separately from equity attributable to the owners of the Company. Non-controlling interests in
the results of the Group is presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or loss and the comprehensive income for
the year between non-controlling interests and the owners of the Company.
Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling
interests even if that results in a deficit balance.
87
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.1.6 Associates
Associates are entities in which the Group has significant influence, but no control, over their
financial and operating policies.
The Group’s investments in its associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under
the equity method, investment in an associate is carried in the statement of financial position
at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate since
the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the
investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment.
The share of the result of an associate is reflected in profit or loss. Any change in other
comprehensive income of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s other comprehensive
income. In addition, where there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of an
associate, the Group recognises its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable,
in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions
between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.
The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of an associate is shown on the face of the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income outside operating profit and represents
profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associate.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of that
interest including any long-term investment is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses
is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on
behalf of the associate.
The financial statements of the associates are prepared as of the same reporting period as the
Group. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies of the associates
in line with those of the Group.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise
an additional impairment loss on the Group’s investments in its associates. The Group determines
at each end of the reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that the investments
in the associates is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of
impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associates and their carrying
value, then recognises the amount in the “share of profit of investments accounted for using the
equity method” in profit or loss.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognises any
retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate
upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from
disposal is recognised in profit or loss.
When the Group’s interest in an associate decreases but does not result in a loss of significant
influence, any retained interest is not re-measured. Any gain or loss arising from the decrease
in interest is recognised in profit or loss. Any gains or losses previously recognised in other
comprehensive income are also reclassified proportionately to the profit or loss if that gain or
loss would be required to be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or
liabilities.
88
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.1.6 Associates(cont’d)
In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in associates are stated at cost
less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal
proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss.
3.2 Foreign currency translation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in RM, which is also the parent
company’s functional currency.
3.2.1 Foreign currency transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rates prevailing
at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional
currency spot rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.
All differences are taken to the profit or loss with the exception of all monetary items that forms
part of a net investment in a foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive
income until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are reclassified to profit or
loss. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are
also recorded in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items
measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date
when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising in translation of non-monetary items
is recognised in line with the gain or loss of the item that gave rise to the translation difference
(translation differences on items whose gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income
or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss respectively).
3.2.2 Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of operations denominated in functional currencies other than RM,
including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to RM at
exchange rates at the end of the reporting period, except for goodwill and fair value adjustments
arising from business combination before 1 January 2011 which are treated as assets and liabilities
of the Group. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to RM at exchange
rates at the date of the transactions.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in
the foreign exchange fluctuation reserve in equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly-owned
subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the
non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant
influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the foreign currency translation reserve
related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on
disposal.
89
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.2 Foreign currency translation (cont’d)
3.2.2 Foreign operations (cont’d)
When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation,
the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When
the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a
foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of
the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
In the consolidated financial statements, when settlement of a monetary item receivable from
or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign
exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a
net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and
are presented in foreign currency translation reserve in equity.
3.3 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially stated at cost. The cost of an item of property, plant and
equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated
with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
All property, plant and equipment, except for land and building, are subsequently stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and less any impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant
and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognises such costs as individual
assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. All other repair and maintenance costs
are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Land is shown at fair values, based on valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent
accumulated depreciation on buildings and any accumulated impairment losses. Valuations are
performed with sufficient regularity, usually every five years, to ensure that the carrying amount does
not differ materially from the fair value of the land and buildings at the end of the reporting period.
As at the date of revaluation, accumulated depreciation, if any, is eliminated against the gross carrying
amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Any revaluation
surplus arising upon appraisal of land is recognised in other comprehensive income and credited to
the revaluation reserve in equity. To the extent that any revaluation decrease or impairment loss has
previously been recognised in profit or loss, a revaluation increase is credited to profit or loss with the
remaining part of the increase recognised in other comprehensive income. Downward revaluations of
land are recognised upon appraisal or impairment testing, with the decrease being charged to other
comprehensive income to the extent of any revaluation surplus in equity relating to this asset and any
remaining decrease recognised in profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus remaining in equity on disposal
of the asset is transferred to other comprehensive income.
Buildings that are leasehold property are also included in property, plant and equipment if they are
held under a finance lease. Such assets are depreciated over their expected useful lives (determined
by reference to comparable owned assets) or over the term of the lease, if shorter.
Depreciation is recognised on the straight line method in order to write off the cost or valuation of each
asset over its estimated useful life. Freehold land with an infinite life is not depreciated. Leasehold land
is amortised over the lease term of 86 years.
90
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.3 Property, plant and equipment (cont’d)
The principal annual depreciation rates used are as follows:-
Buildings 2%
Computers 20% - 60%
Renovation 8% - 20%
Motor vehicles 20%
Factory/office furniture and equipment 8% - 25%
Plant and machinery 10%
Restoration cost relating to an item of the property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if such
expenditure is expected to increase the future benefits from the existing property, plant and equipment
beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, or at least annually
to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates
and expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the items of property,
plant and equipment.
Property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are
determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets are
recognised in profit or loss in the financial year in which the asset is derecognised.
3.4 Property development cost
Development properties consists of land or such portions on which significant development work have
been undertaken and are stated at cost and where applicable attributable profit less progress billings.
Cost includes land acquisition cost, professional fees, stamp duties, commissions, conversion fee,
other levies, borrowing costs and development expenditure.
Accumulation of cost in property development projects does not cease even where the estimated future
realisable revenues are lower than the carrying value of the projects.
However, an allowance is made for foreseeable losses.
When the outcome of a developments project cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only
to the extent of development costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.
Profit is recognised on the development units sold, for which sales agreements have been concluded,
using the percentage of completion of a physical proportion of the development works.
Where property is under development and agreement has been reached to sell such property when
construction is complete, the Directors consider whether the contract comprises a contract to construct
a property or a contract for the sale of a completed property.
Where a contract is judged to be for the construction of a property, revenue is recognised using the
percentage of completion method as construction progresses.
91
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.4 Property development cost (cont’d)
Where the contract is judged to be for the sale of a completed property, revenue is recognised when
the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the real estate have been transferred to the buyer. If,
however, the legal terms of the contract are such that the construction represents the continuous transfer
of work-in-progress to the purchaser, the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition is
applied and revenue is recognised as work progresses. Continuous transfer of work-in-progress is
applied when:-
(a) The buyer controls the work-in-progress, typically when the land on which the development is
taking place is owned by the final customer, and
(b) All significant risks and rewards of ownership of the work-in-progress in its present state are
transferred to the buyer as construction progresses, typically when buyer cannot put the incomplete
property back to the Group.
In such conditions, the percentage of work completed is measured based on the costs incurred up
until the end of the reporting period as a proportion of total costs expected to be incurred.
Property development costs not recognised as an expense is recognised as an asset and is stated at
the lower of costs and net realisable value.
The excess of revenue recognised in the profit or loss over billings to purchasers is classified as accrued
billings and the excess of billings to purchasers over revenue recognised in the profit or loss is classified
as progress billings.

3.5 Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of
the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary, associate and jointly controlled
entities at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is presented separately in the Consolidated Statement
of Financial Position while goodwill arising on the acquisition of associate is included within the carrying
amount of investment in associate.
Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying values may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected to
benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A CGU (or group of CGUs) to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually and,
whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing the carrying amount of
the unit, including goodwill, with the recoverable amount of the unit. Where the recoverable amount
of the CGU (or group of CGUs) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in
profit or loss.
An impairment loss recognised for goodwill should not be reversed in subsequent period. Gains and
losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
92
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.5 Goodwill (cont’d)
Where goodwill forms part of a CGU (or group of CGUs) and part of the operations within that unit is
disposed off, the goodwill associated with the operations disposed off is included in the carrying amount
of the operations when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operations. Goodwill disposed
off in these circumstances is measured based on the relative fair values of the operations disposed off
and portion of the CGU retained.
3.6 Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the
arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the
arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset (or assets) or the arrangement conveys a right
to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly specific in an arrangement.
Group as a lessee
A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers
substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Group is classified as a finance
lease.
Finance leases are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the inception date fair value of the
leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are
apportioned between 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 recognised in finance costs
in the statement of profit or loss.
A leased assets is depreciated over the 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 of the asset and the lease term.
An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Operating lease payments are recognised as
an operating expense in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
3.6.1 Finance lease
Management applies judgement in considering the substance of a lease agreement and whether
it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset.
Key factors considered include the length of the lease term in relation to the economic life of the
asset, the present value of the minimum lease payments in relation to the asset’s fair value, and
whether the Group obtains ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term.
For lease of land and buildings, the minimum lease payments are first allocated to each component
based on the relative fair values of the respective lease interests. Each component is then evaluated
separately for possible treatment as a finance lease, taking into consideration the fact the land
normally has an indefinite economic life.
3.6.2 Operating lease
All other leases are treated as operating leases. Where the Group is a lessee, payments on
operating lease agreements are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease
term. Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance are expensed as incurred.
93
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.7 Financial instruments
3.7.1 Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial
asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred.
A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
3.7.2 Financial assets - classification and subsequent measurement
Accounting policies applied from 1 January 2018:-
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are
measured at the transaction price in accordance with MFRS 15, all financial assets are initially
measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).
Financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified
into the following categories:-
(a) amortised cost

(b) fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
(c) fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”)
In the periods presented, the Company does not have any financial assets categorised as FVOCI.
The classification is determined by both:-
(a) the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset
(b) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are
presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of
trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.
3.7.3 Financial assets – subsequent measurement
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and
are not designated as FVTPL):-
(a) they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and
collect its contractual cash flows
(b) the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments
of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash
equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments as
well as listed bonds that were previously classified as held-to-maturity under MFRS 139.
94
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.7 Financial instruments (cont’d)
3.7.3 Financial assets – subsequent measurement (cont’d)
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold
to collect and sell’ are categorised at FVTPL. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets
whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for
at FVTPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated
and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply.
Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.
The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market
transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.
Accounting policies applied until 31 December 2017:-
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and
effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:-
(a) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;

(b) held-to-maturity investments;
(c) loans and receivables; and
(d) available-for-sale financial assets.
The category determines subsequent measurement and whether any resulting income and expense
is recognised in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income.
All financial assets except for those at fair value through profit or loss are subject to review for
impairment at least at each end of the reporting period. Financial assets are impaired when there
is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different
criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets.
A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when the contractual rights to the
cash flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party
without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of
a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration
received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative
gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in the profit or loss.
As of reporting date, the Group and the Company carries only loans and receivables and available-
for-sale financial assets on their statement of financial position.
Loans and receivables

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

95
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.7.3 Financial assets – subsequent measurement (cont’d)
Accounting policies applied until 31 December 2017 (cont’d):-
Loans and receivables (cont’d)
Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having maturity dates
later than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current.

Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated
to this category or do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of financial assets.
The Group’s available-for-sale financial assets include listed securities, debentures and the equity
instruments.
Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value subsequent to the initial recognition.
Gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and reported within the available-
for-sale reserve within equity, except for impairment loss and foreign exchange differences
on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss. When the asset is disposed of or
is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive
income is reclassified from the equity reserve to profit or loss and presented as a reclassification
adjustment within other comprehensive income.
Interest calculated using the effective interest method and dividends are recognised in profit or
loss. Dividends on an available-for-sale equity are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s
and the Company’s right to receive payment is established.
Investment in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and
whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less impairment loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets unless they are expected
to be realised within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
3.7.4 Financial assets – impairment
Accounting policies applied from 1 January 2018:-
MFRS 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise expected
credit losses – the ‘expected credit loss (“ECL”) model’. This replaces MFRS 139’s ‘incurred loss
model’. Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included loans and other debt-
type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets
recognised and measured under MFRS 15 and loan commitments and some financial guarantee
contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at FVTPL.
Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the Group first identifying a credit loss
event. Instead the Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk
and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable
and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the
instrument.
96
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.7.4 Financial assets – impairment (cont’d)
Accounting policies applied from 1 January 2018 (cont’d):-
In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:-
(a) financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial
recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’); and
(b) financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial
recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’).
‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting
date.
‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected
credit losses’ are recognised for the second category.
Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of

credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.
Trade and other receivables
The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade receivables and other
receivables and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the
expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point
during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Group uses its historical experience,
external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using
a provision matrix.
The Group assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared
credit risk characteristics they have been grouped based on the days past due. The detailed
analysis of impairment requirements of MFRS 9 are disclosed in Note 14 and Note 15 to the
Accounting policies applied until 31 December 2017:-
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial
asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets
is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of
one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss
event”) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial
asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may
include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial
difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter
bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and where observable date indicate that there is a
measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic
conditions that correlate with defaults.

97
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

Financial assets carried at amortised cost
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether objective evidence
of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively
for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective
evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or
not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and
collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment
and for which an impairment loss is, or continue to be, recognised are not included in a collective
assessment of impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is
measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The
present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original
effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any
impairment loss is the current effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the
amount of the loss is recognised in the profit or loss. Interest income continues to be accrued on
the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future
cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded
as part of finance income in the profit or loss. Loans together with the associated allowance
are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been
realised or has been transferred to the Group. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated
impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was
recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the
allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to finance costs
in the profit or loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets
For available-for-sale financial assets, the Group assesses at each reporting period whether there
is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investment is impaired.
In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, objective evidence would include
a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost. “Significant”
is evaluated against the original cost of the investment and “prolonged” against the period in
which the fair value has been below its original cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the
cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair
value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in the profit or loss –
is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in the profit or loss. Impairment
losses on equity investments are not reversed through profit or loss; increases in their fair value
after impairments are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

98
ANNUAL REPORT 2018


Available-for-sale financial assets (cont’d)
In the case of debt instruments classified as available-for-sale, impairment is assessed based on

the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortised cost. However, the amount recorded for
impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortised cost and
the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in profit
or loss.
Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the asset,
using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the
impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of finance income. If, in a subsequent
year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to
an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the profit or loss, the impairment
loss is reversed through profit or loss.
3.7.5 Financial liabilities – classification and subsequent measurement
As the accounting for financial liabilities remains largely the same under MFRS 9 compared to
MFRS 139, the Group’s financial liabilities were not impacted by the adoption of MFRS 9. However,
for completeness, the accounting policy is disclosed below.
The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables, amount due to
Directors, amount due to subsidiaries, amount due to related parties, finance lease liabilities and
borrowings.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction
costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at FVTPL.
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried
subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative
financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments).
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported
in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.

99
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.8 Impairment of assets
3.8.1 Non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be
impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the
Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher
of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an
individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent
of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its
recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted
to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs
to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions
can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated
by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair
value indicators.
The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations which
are prepared separately for each of the Company’s CGUs to which the individual assets are
allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations are generally covering a period of five years.
For longer periods, a long term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows
after the fifth year.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised

in the profit or loss in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset,
except for a property 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.
For assets excluding goodwill, 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. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable
amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in
the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss
was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed
its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net
of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for asset in prior years. Such reversal
is recognised in the profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case
the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as at the end of each reporting period, and when
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for
goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the
goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than their carrying amount,
an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in
future periods.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually as at the end of each
reporting period, either individually or at the CGU level, as appropriate and when circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

100
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.9 Research and development expenditure
All research costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Expenditure incurred on projects to develop
new products is capitalised and deferred only when the Group or the Company can demonstrate the
technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its
intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic
benefits, the availability of resources to complete the project and the ability to measure reliably the
expenditure during the development. Product development expenditure which do not meet these criteria
are expensed off when incurred.
Development costs, considered to have finite useful lives, are stated at cost less any impairment losses
and are amortised using the straight-line basis over the commercial lives of the underlying products
not exceeding five years. Impairment is assessed whenever there is an indication of impairment and
the amortisation period and method are also reviewed at least once at each reporting date.
3.10 Inventories
3.10.1 Information technology solutions
Inventories other than inventory properties comprises raw materials, work-in-progress, finished
goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost of raw material is determined on a weighted average basis. Cost of finished goods and
work-in-progress include design cost, raw material, direct labour and an appropriate proportion
of production overheads (based on normal operating capacity).
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.
3.10.2 Inventory properties
Property acquired or being constructed for sale in the ordinary course of business, rather than
to be held for rental or capital appreciation, is held as inventory and is measured at the lower
of cost and net realisable value.
Cost includes freehold land and rights for land, amounts paid to contractors for construction,
borrowing costs, planning and design costs, costs of site preparation, professional fees for legal
services, property transfer taxes, construction overheads and other related costs.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the business, based
on market prices at the reporting date and discounted for the time value of money if material,
less costs to completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
3.11 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, bank balances, short term demand deposits, bank
overdraft and highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to known amount of cash and
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Bank overdrafts are shown in current liabilities in the statements of financial position.
For the purpose of the statements of financial position, cash and cash equivalents restricted to be used
to settle a liability of 12 months or more after the reporting date are classified as non-current asset.
101
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.12 Equity, reserves and distribution to owners
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and
the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments.
The revaluation reserve within equity comprises gains and losses due to the revaluation of property,
plant and equipment. Foreign currency translation differences arising on the translation of the Group’s
foreign entities are included in the foreign exchange fluctuation reserve. Gains and losses on certain
financial instruments are included in reserves for available-for-sale financial assets and cash-flow hedges
respectively.
The distribution of non-cash assets to owners is recognised as dividend payable when the dividend
was approved by shareholders. The dividend payable is measured at the fair value of the shares to be
distributed. At the end of the financial year and on the settlement date, the Group reviews the carrying
amount of the dividend payable, with any changes in the fair value of the dividend payable recognised
in equity. When the Group settles the dividend payable, the difference between the carrying amount of
the dividend distributed and the carrying amount of the dividend payable is recognised as a separate
line item in profit or loss.
Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits.
Dividends on ordinary shares are accounted for in shareholder’s equity as an appropriation of retained
earnings.
All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded separately within equity.
3.13 Treasury shares
When issued share of the Company are repurchased, the consideration paid, including directly
attributable costs is presented as a change in equity. Repurchased shares that have not been cancelled
are classified as treasury shares and presented as a deduction from equity. No gain or loss is recognised
in profit or loss on the sale, reissuance or cancellation of treasury shares.
When treasury shares are distributed as share dividends, the cost of the treasury shares is applied in
the reduction of the distributable reserves.
When treasury shares are reissued by resale, the difference between the sale consideration net of
directly attributable costs and the carrying amount of the treasury shares is shown as a movement in
equity.
3.14 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past
event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required
to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions
are not recognised for future operating losses.
Any reimbursement that the Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to
the obligation is recognised as separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the
related provision.

102
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.14 Provisions (cont’d)
Provisions are reviewed at each end of the reporting period 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. Where the effect of the time 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.
3.15 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset
are capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its
intended use or sale. 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.
Other borrowing costs are expensed 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.
3.16 Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of transaction costs
incurred.
3.17 Employee benefits
3.17.1 Short-term employee benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in
the financial year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group.
Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised
when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated
absences, and short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are
recognised when the absences occur.
A provision is made for the estimated liability for leave as a result of services rendered by
employees up to the end of the reporting period.
3.17.2 Defined contribution plans
Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed
contributions into independent entities of funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation
to pay further contribution if any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee
benefits relating to employee services in the current and preceding financial years.
Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss as incurred. As required by
law, companies in Malaysia make such contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”).
Some of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries also make contributions to their respective countries’
statutory pension schemes.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.18 Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group is in the business of providing information technology solutions specialising in automated
data collection resources, mobile computing and property development. Revenue from contracts with
customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an
amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services.
The disclosures of significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions relating to revenue
from contracts with customers are disclosed in Note 2.6.2 to the financial statements.
3.18.1 Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon delivery of products and customers’ acceptance
and after eliminating sales within the Group.
3.18.2 Rendering of services

Revenue from maintenance services is recognised based on performance of services.
3.18.3 Management fee income
Management fees are recognised when the services are rendered.
3.18.4 Deferred revenue
Revenue invoiced where risks and ownership on sales of goods have not been transferred or
services have not been rendered at reporting date is recognised as deferred revenue.
3.18.5 Property development revenue
Revenue is recognised on the percentage of completion method. The stage of completion for
each project is measured by a certificate issued by an architect based on the physical completion
of the work performed in proportion to the total development. Anticipated losses are recognised
in full immediately in profit or loss.
3.18.6 Revenue from other sources
3.18.6.1 Rental income

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.18 Revenue from contracts with customers (cont’d)
3.18.7 Contract balances
3.18.7.1 Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services

transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services
to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a
contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.
3.18.7.2 Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is

unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the
consideration is due).
3.18.7.3 Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for

which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due)
from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers goods
or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is
made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised
as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.
3.19 Tax expense
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit
or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in
equity or other comprehensive income.
3.19.1 Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year,
using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any
adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Current tax is recognised in the statement of financial position as a liability (or an asset) to the
extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
3.19.2 Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their
tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the temporary differences arising from the initial
recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not
a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred
tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences
when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
end of the reporting period.
105
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3.19 Tax expense (cont’d)
3.19.2 Deferred tax (cont’d)
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation
or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date. The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured
using the tax rates that would apply on sale of those assets at their carrying value at the reporting
date unless the property is depreciable and is held with the objective to consume substantially
all of the economic benefits embodied in the property over time, rather than through sale.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current
tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on
the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities
and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits
will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are
reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
3.19.3 Goods and Services Tax
Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) is a consumption tax based on value-added concept. GST is
imposed on goods and services at every production and distribution stage in the supply chain
including importation of goods and services, at the applicable tax rate of 6%. Input GST that
the Company paid on purchases of business inputs can be deducted from output GST.
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:-
- Where the GST incurred in a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the
authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the
assets or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
- Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as
part of receivables or payables in the statements of financial position.
The Malaysian Government has zero rated the GST effective from 1 June 2018. This mean the
GST rate on the supplies of goods or services or on the importation of goods has been revised
from 6% to 0%.
The GST has been replaced with the Sales and Services Tax effective from 1 September 2018.
The rate for sales tax is fixed at 5% or 10%, while the rate for services tax is fixed at 6%.

(b) when receivables and payables are stated with the amount of sales tax included
The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included

3.20 Operating segments
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it
may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenue and expenses that relate to transactions
with any of the Group’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed
regularly by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to
the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
3.21 Contingencies
Where it is not probable that an inflow or an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount
cannot be estimated reliably, the asset or the obligation is not recognised in the statements of financial
position and is disclosed as a contingent asset or contingent liability, unless the probability of inflow or
outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent
assets or contingent liabilities unless the probability of inflow or outflow of economic benefits is remote.
3.22 Related parties
A related party is a person or entity that is related to the Group. A related party transaction is a transfer
of resources, services or obligations between the Group and its related party, regardless of whether a
price is charged.

Revaluation of land and buildings
(i) Freehold land and buildings were revalued in the financial year 2017 by Landserve Sdn. Bhd., a registered
valuer. The comparison method was adopted in arriving at the market value of the freehold land and
buildings.
In estimating the fair value of the properties, the highest and best use of the properties is their current
use. There has been no change to the valuation technique during the year. The revaluation surplus net
of applicable deferred tax was credited to other comprehensive income and is shown in revaluation
reserve under the equity.
Fair value measurement of the freehold land and buildings were categorised under Level 2. There were
no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the financial year.
Level 2 Fair Value
Level 2 fair value of freehold and buildings have been generally derived using the sales comparison
approach. Sales price of comparable properties in close proximity are adjusted for differences in key
attributes such as property size. The most significant input into this valuation approach is price per
square foot of comparable properties.

The recoverable amounts of the investment in the subsidiaries are based on its value-in-use and the recoverable
amounts are higher than the carrying amount of the investment. Thus, there is no impairment loss recognised
for the financial year ended 31 December 2018.
Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations

The recoverable amount of CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations using cash flow projections
based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the
five-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rate stated below. The growth rate does not
exceed the average historical growth rate over the long term for the industry. The key assumptions used for
value-in-use calculations are:-
Growth rate Gross margin Discount rate

9. GOODWILL ON CONSOLIDATION (CONT’D)
The following describes each key assumption on which management has based its cash flow projections to
undertake impairment testing of goodwill:-
(a) Budgeted growth rate
The budgeted growth rate is determined based on the industry trends and past performances of the
segments.
(b) Budgeted gross margin
The basis used to determine the value assigned to the budgeted gross margin is the average gross
margin achieved in the year immediately before the budgeted year increased for expected efficiency
improvements.
(c) Discount rate
The discount rate used is pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments.
The Group believes that any reasonably possible changes in the above key assumptions applied are not likely
to materially cause recoverable amount to be lower than its carrying amount.

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

152
ANNUAL REPORT 2018

46. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D)
Financial risks management (cont’d)
The main areas of financial risks faced by the Group and the Company and the policy in respect of the major
areas of treasury activity are set out as follows:-
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument
fails to meet its contractual obligations. It is the Group’s policy to enter into financial instrument with a
diversity of creditworthy counterparties. The Group does not expect to incur material credit losses of
its financial assets or other financial instruments.
Concentration of credit risk exists when changes in economic, industry and geographical factors similarly
affect the company of counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is significant in relation to the
Group’s total credit exposure.
It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification
procedures. The Group does not offer credit terms without the approval of the head of credit control.
Following are the areas where the Group and the Company are exposed to credit risk:-
(i) Trade receivables
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each
customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of
its customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry and country in which
customers operate.
The risk management committee has established a credit policy under which each new customer
is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery
terms and conditions are offered. The Group’s review includes external rating, if they are available,
financial statements, credit agency information, industry information and in some cases bank
references. Sale limits are established for each customer and reviewed quarterly. Any sales
exceeding those limits require approval from the risk management committee.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure
expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various
customer segments with similar loss patterns (i.e., by geographical region, product type,
customer type and rating, and coverage by letters of credit or other forms of credit insurance). The
calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable
and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current
conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
Generally, trade receivables are written off if past due for more than one year and are not subject
to enforcement activity. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying
value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 14 to the financial statement. The Group
evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are
located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.

(c) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
To mitigate the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, the Group and the
Company are exposed to foreign currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a
currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities. The currency giving rise to
this risk is primarily US Dollar (“USD”), Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”), Euro Dollar (“EUR”), Singapore Dollar
(“SGD”) and Thai Baht (“THB”).
The Group is also exposed to currency translation risk arising from its net investment in foreign operation
in Hong Kong and Thailand. The investment is not hedged as currency positions in HKD and THB are
considered to be long-term in nature.
The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, based on carrying amounts as of
the end of the reporting period are as follows:-

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

(d) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s and the Company’s
financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Group’s and the Company’s fixed rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value
due to changes in interest rates. The Group’s and the Company’s variable rate borrowings are exposed
to a risk of change in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. Short term receivables and payables
are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.
The interest rate profile of the Group’s significant interest-bearing financial instruments, based on
carrying amounts as at end of the reporting period are:-

Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The Group is exposed to changes in market interest rates through bank borrowings at variable interest
rates. Other borrowings are at fixed interest rates. The exposure to interest rates for the Group’s short
term placement is considered immaterial.
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit to a reasonably possible change in interest rates
of +/- 100 basis points (“bp”). These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on
observation of current market conditions. The calculations are based on a change in the average market
interest rate for each period, and the financial instruments held at each reporting date that are sensitive
to changes in interest rates. All other variables are held constant.

borrowings approximate their fair values due to the relatively short term nature of these financial instruments
and insignificant impact of discounting.

Fair value of financial instruments (cont’d)
Policy on transfer between levels
The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change
in circumstances that caused the transfer.
Level 1 Fair Value
Level 1 fair value is derived from quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial assets or
liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Fair Value
Level 2 fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the financial assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
Non-derivatives financial liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future
principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the end of the reporting period.
In respect of the liability component of convertible notes, the market rate of interest is determined by reference
to similar liabilities that do not have a conversion option. For finance leases that market rate of interest is
determined by reference to similar lease agreements.
The effective interest rates used to discount estimated cash flow are as follows:-

The Ordinary Resolution 10 proposed under item 8 of the Agenda is a renewal of the general mandate for
issuance of shares by the Company under Sections 75 and 76 of the Companies Act 2016. This Ordinary
Resolution, if passed, will give the Directors of the Company from the date of the above meeting, authority to
allot and issue ordinary shares from the unissued capital of the Company for such purposes as the Directors
consider would be in the interest of the Company. The authority, unless revoked or varied by the Company
in a general meeting, will expire at the next AGM.
This general mandate will provide flexibility to the Company for allotment of shares for any possible fund raising
activities, including but not limited to further placing of shares, for the purpose of funding future investment
project(s), working capital and/or acquisition(s).
As at the date of this Notice, no new shares in the Company were issued pursuant to the mandate granted to
the Directors at the last AGM held on 25 June 2018 which will lapse at the conclusion of the Sixteenth AGM.
The Ordinary Resolution 11 proposed under item 9 of the Agenda is to renew the shareholders’ mandate for
the share buy-back by the Company. The said proposed renewal of shareholders’ mandate will empower the
Directors to buy-back and/or hold up to a maximum of 10% of the Company’s total number of issued shares
at any point of time, by utilising the amount allocated which shall not exceed the total retained profits of the
Company. This authority unless revoked or varied by the Company at a general meeting, will expire at the
conclusion of the next AGM, or the expiration of period within which the next AGM is required by law to be
held, whichever is earlier.
Please refer to the Share Buy-Back Statement to Shareholders dated 30 April 2019 for further details.
