g
Chat Choon and En. Abdul Rahim Bin Bunyamin who each has served on the Board as

than

Therefore,
the Board has recommended that the approval of the shareholders be sought to con
tinue to
act as the Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE


The Board recognises the importance of good governance to support the Group s cont
inued growth
and success. It is committed to continuously improving and enhancing the Group s p
rocedures from
time to time to ensure that the principles and best practices in corporate gover
nance recommended in
the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 ( the Code ) are applied within the
group to
protect and enhance its shareholders value.
The Group has complied substantially with the principles and best practices outl
ine in the Code. The
extent of the Group s application is shown as follows:
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Board Responsibilites
The Board has an overall responsibility for the proper conduct of the Company s bu
siness and plays
an active role in directing management in an effective and responsible manner.
The Board has assumed most of the recommendations as prescribed in the Code to eff
ectively lead
the Group and retains full and effective control of the Group. This includes res
ponsibility for
determining the Group s overall strategic direction, development and control. Key
matters, such as
reviewing the performance of the Group, overseeing the corporate governance and
conduct of the
Group s business,approval of annual and quarterly results, acquisitions and dispos
als of assets, as
well as material agreements, major capital expenditures, budgets, long range pla
ns and succession
planning for top management are reserved for the Board.
The Board had delegated certain responsibilities to the Audit Committee, the Nom
ination Committee
and the Remuneration Committee. These Committees have the authority to examine s
pecific issues
and forward their recommendations to the Board which is ultimately responsible f
or making the final
decision.
The Group s code of conduct will be incorporated in the Board Charter which is cur
rently being
formalised and will be published in the Company s website in due course.
Board Composition and Balance
The Board currently consists of six (6) Directors:
Two (2) Executive Directors (including the Executive Chairman cum Managing Direc
tor)
One (1) Non- Independent Non-Executive Director

Three (3) Independent Non-Executive Directors


The concept of independence adopted by the Board is in tandem with the definitio
n of an
Independent Director in the Listing Requirements. The key element of fulfilling
the criteria is the
appointment of an Independent Director, who is not a member of the management (a
Non-Executive
Director) and is free of any relationship which could interfere with the exercis
e of independent
judgement or the ability to act in the best interests of the Company and shareho
lders.
More than one-third of the Board are Independent Non-Executive Directors thereby
bringing
objective, independent judgement to the decision making process. As and when con
flict of interest
arises, the Director concerned would declare his/her interest and abstain from t
he decision-making
process and remain in a position to fulfil his/her responsibility to provide a c
heck and balance.
15

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Continued)


Board Composition and Balance (Continued)
The Board comprises an appropriate balance of Directors with diverse experience
and expertise
required for the effective stewardship of the Group and independence in decision
making at Board
level. The Board is headed by an Executive Chairman who is also the Managing Dir
ector responsible
for implementing decisions of the Board. The Board is mindful of the convergence
of the two roles
and the Chairman being a Non-Independent Director, but is of the view that there
are sufficient
experienced and independent minded Directors on the Board to provide the assuran
ce that there is
adequate check and balance. Given that there is a balanced Board with three expe
rienced
Independent Directors, there is a strong independent element on the Board to exe
rcise independent
judgement. The Chairman has considerable experience in the Group s business and pr
ovide
leadership for the Board in considering and setting the overall strategies and o
bjectives of the Group.
The Board is of the view that it is in the interest of the Group to maintain the
above arrangement so
that the Group could have the benefit of a chairman who is well versed about the
Group s business
and is capable to guide discussion and brief the Board in a timely manner on key
issues and
developments.
The Code recommends the tenure of an independent director should not exceed a cu
mulative term of
nine (9) years. Upon completion of the nine (9) years, an independent Director m
ay continue to serve
on the Board subject to re-designation as a Non-Independent Director. Two Direct
ors, Mr Ng Chet
Chiang @ Ng Chat Choon and Encik Abdul Rahim Bin Bunyamin will continue to be in
dependent
Directors of the Company, notwithstanding having served as Independent directors
on the Board for
more than nine (9) years. These Directors remain independent and objective in th
eir deliberations
and decision making of the Board and Board Committees and that each of them is i
ndependent of the
Company s management and free from any business or other relationship which could
interfere with
the exercise of independent judgement or the ability to act in the interest of t
he Group. The Board
holds the view that their length of services does not interfere with their exerc
ise of independent
judgement and in discharging their roles as independent directors. The Group ben
efits from long
serving Directors, who possess detailed knowledge of the Group s business and have
proven
commitment, experience and competence to advise and oversee management.

management and internal control system and for reviewing their adequacy and effe
ctiveness so
as to safeguard all its stakeholders interests and protecting the Group s assets. T
he system of
internal controls covers inter-alia, risk assessment as well as financial, opera
tional, environmental
and compliance controls. However, in view of the limitations that are inherent i
n any system of
internal controls, the system of internal controls is designed to manage, rather
than to eliminate,
the risk of failure to achieve the Group s business objectives. Accordingly, the s
ystem of internal
controls can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material
misstatement
of losses and fraud.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Board maintains an on-going commitment for identifying, evaluating and manag
ing significant
risks faced by the Group during the financial year under review. The Board had p
ut in place risk
management framework and internal control system in order to manage key business
risks faced
by the Group adequately and effectively. The responsibility for the identificati
on, evaluation and
management of the key business risk delegated to the Executive Board and Senior
Management.
The Group s Risk Management is embedded into key processes at all level of organis
ation
structure whereby respective head of departments are delegated with the responsi

bility to
continuously identify, evaluate and manage the existing and emerging risks, resu
lting from
changes to internal and external environment, faced by the Group under their sco
pe of
responsibility by formulating and implementing adequate internal control to mana
ge the risk
exposure identified.
The Executive Directors and Senior Management manage key business risks faced by
the Group
through constant communication among themselves and with respective head of depa
rtments
during daily management of operation and through scheduled management meetings.
Changes in
the key business risks faced by the Group or emergence of new key business risks
are
highlighted to the Board for deliberation and decision making.
The above process has been practiced by the Group for the financial year under r
eview and up to
the date of approval of this statement.

STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMNET AND INTERNAL CONTROL (Continued)


INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM
The key features of the Group s internal control system are described below:
Board Committees (i.e. Audit Committee, Remuneration Committee and Nomination Co
mmittee)
being established to carry out duties and responsibilities delegated by the Boar
d, governed by
written terms of reference;
Meetings of Board of Directors and respective Board Committees are carried out o
n scheduled
basis to review the performance of the Group, from financial and operational per
spective, and to
carry out its fiduciary duties and responsibilities. Potential business strategi
es proposed by the
Executive Directors for the Board s review and approval, after taking into risk co
nsideration and
responses;
Clearly defined and structured lines of reporting and responsibility for key bus
iness
units/departments within the Group;
Policies and standard operating procedures to regulate key processes in complian
ce with
International Organisation for Standardisation ( ISO ) certification;
Regular management meetings, supported by comprehensive operation reports prepar
ed by
respective departments and key indicators, to assess the Group s performance and r
isks for
formulation and implementation of mitigating controls; and
Executive Directors close and direct involvement in operations, regular reviews o
f operational
data including production, and marketing and financial data.
INTERNAL AUDIT
The Group relies on internal audit mechanisms to provide the management with the
required level
of assurance that its business is operating adequately and effectively in order
to provide
reasonable assurance that the business objectives of the Group are achievable.
The Group s internal audit function is outsourced to an independent professional f
irm who
provides the Audit Committee with much of the assurance it requires regarding th
e adequacy and
integrity of the Group s system of internal control. The outsourced internal audit
function reports
functionally to Audit Committee and administratively to the Managing Director.
The outsourced internal audit function adopts a risk based approach for prioriti
sation of internal
audit activities, with consultation with the Executive Directors, for Audit Comm

ittee s review and


approval. Regular internal audit reviews are performed based on the internal aud
it plan approved
by Audit Committee and, upon the completion of the internal audit work, the inte
rnal audit reports
are presented to the Audit Committee during its meetings. During the presentatio
n, the internal
audit findings, its potential risks and recommendations as well as management re
sponse and
action plans are presented and deliberated. Update on the status of action plans
as identified in
the previous internal audit reports were also presented during the financial yea
r under review for
Audit Committee to ensure action plans are implemented to address the individual
risks
associated with the findings. During the financial year under review, the outsou
rced internal audit
function conducted two (2) internal audit cycles and reported of the same to the
Audit Committee
per approved internal audit plan and subsequent management request approved by A
udit
Committee.
In addition to the above, for the purpose of compliance with ISO 22000:2005 Food
Safety
Management Systems, Internal quality audits are carried out by in-house independ
ent personnel
and surveillance audit is conducted by an independent certification body to prov
ide assurance of
compliance with established ISO procedures.

ation to the

assurance from
Executive Directors on the adequacy and effectiveness of risk management and int
ernal control

14.
CONCLUSION

system put in
place is operating satisfactorily to safeguard the interest of the stakeholders
and the Group s
assets, based on the existing nature of business and scale of operations of the
Group. The Board
recognises the need for the risk management and internal control system to be su
bjected to
continuous review in line with the growth of the Group and the Board is committe
d towards
striving for continuous improvements to further enhance the Group s risk managemen
t and
internal control system.

CHAIRMAN S STATEMENT
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Annual Report a
nd the Audited
Financial Statements of Apollo Food Holdings Berhad Group for the financial year
ended 30 April
2013.
Financial Performance
The Group registered a turnover of RM222.75 million for the financial year ended
30 April 2013, an
increase of 11.07% as compared to RM200.55 million in 2012. This was mainly due
to the
improvement of demand in both export and domestic markets.
The profit after tax increased by 47% to RM32.08 million from RM21.74 million as
recorded in the
previous financial year. Similarly the Group s earning per share also increased fr
om 27.18 sen to
40.10 sen over the same period. The higher revenue and improved cost structure h
ad contributed to
the higher profit.
Despite the continuing economic uncertainties globally, the Malaysian economy re
mained resilient
and the Malaysia s Gross Domestic Product ( GDP ) grew 5.6% in 2012 compared with 5.1%
in 2011.
Despite the political unrest in certain regions and slowing growth in the emergi
ng markets, the
markets in which the Group operates remain relatively stable.
Although the prices of major materials consumed by Group were less volatile this
year verses 2012,
the volatile raw material prices are expected to continue in the forthcoming yea
r. Coupled with the
uncertainties in the global economy, we expect the forthcoming year to be anothe
r challenging year.
In facing these challenges, the Group will monitor the raw material prices close
ly and review its
business strategies to adapt to the changes in the market for the forthcoming ye
ar.
Dividend
Your Board of Directors is recommending a first and final dividend of 25 sen und
er the single tier
system (tax exempt) for the financial year ended 30 April 2013, for the sharehol
ders approval at the
forthcoming Annual General Meeting to be held on 24 October 2013. If approved, t
he dividend will be
paid on 9 January 2014.
Operations Review and Prospects
Continuous improvement on our production planning, stringent quality control and
investment on
newer and modern production machineries with higher output and more automation t

o use less labour


are the pre-requisites for our Group to remain competitive in this very challeng
ing market
environment. We will therefore continue to focus our efforts in this direction o
n improving our overall
performance. Our long term strategies shall include the seeking of new business
opportunities and
diversifying our revenue streams. We shall continue to train our employees to im
prove their
operational, marketing, management and industrial skills to enhance our competit
iveness in this
industry.
The Board is confident of maintaining the Group s financial performance under the
prevailing
challenging business environment. The Group will strive to ensure that it contin
ues to achieve
satisfactory results by implementing prudent measures and improving operational
efficiency so as to
sustain the current margin while remaining focused on product and service qualit
y.

Auditors

Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based

require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstate
ment.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amoun
ts and disclosures
in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, in
cluding the
assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whethe
r due to fraud or

error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant t


o the entity s
preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to d
esign audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
the Directors, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriat
e to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.

NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


30 APRIL 2013
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The principal activities of the Company are investment holding and provision of
management
services to subsidiaries.
The principal activities of the subsidiaries are described in Note 15 to the fin
ancial statements.
There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during
the financial
year.
The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in
Malaysia and
is listed on the Main Market of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
The registered office of the Company is located at Suite 1301, 13th Floor, City
Plaza, Jalan
Tebrau, 80300 Johor Bahru, Johor.
The principal place of business is located at 70, Jalan Langkasuka, Larkin Indus
trial Area,
80350 Johor Bahru, Johor.
The financial statements of the Group and the Company have been approved by the
Board of
Directors for issuance on 30 August 2013.
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
(a)
The financial statements of the Group and 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,
1965 in Malaysia.
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared on
the historical cost basis and modified to include other bases of valuation as di
sclosed
in other sections under significant accounting policies.
For all periods up to and including the year ended 30 April 2012, the Group prep
ared
its financial statements in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards in
Malaysia ( FRS ). These financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2013 are
the first that the Group has prepared in accordance with MFRS and MFRS 1: FirstTime Adoption of Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards ( MFRS 1 ) had been
applied.
In preparing its opening MFRS Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at
1
May 2011 (which is also the date of transition), the Group has adjusted the amou
nts
previously reported in financial statements prepared in accordance with FRS. An
explanation of how the transition from FRS to MFRS affected the Group s financial

position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in Note 2.1(b) below.
These
notes included reconciliations of equity and total comprehensive income for the
comparative period and of equity at the date of transition under MFRS. The
transition from FRS to MFRS has not had a material impact on the statements of
cash flows.
58

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements (Continued)
(a)
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRS and the provisio
ns
of the Companies Act, 1965 requires the Directors to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial sta
tements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported financial
year. It also requires Directors to exercise their judgements in the process of
applying the Company s accounting policies. Although these judgements and
estimates are based on Directors best knowledge of current events and actions,
actual results could differ from those judgements and estimates.
The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where
assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclo
sed
in Note 2.1(e).
(b) Application of MFRS 1
The audited financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 April 2012 w
ere
prepared in accordance with FRS. Except for certain differences, the requirement
under FRS and MFRS are similar. MFRS 1 also provide certain prohibitions and
exemptions when initially adopting Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards. The
significant accounting policies adopted in preparing these consolidated financia
l
statements are consistent with those of the audited financial statements for the
year
ended 30 April 2012 except as discussed below:
Property, plant and equipment
The Group has previously recorded its land and buildings at revalued amount, whi
ch
is the fair value at the date of the revaluation less accumulated depreciation a
nd any
accumulated impairment losses. Fair value is determined from market-based
evidence by appraisal that is undertaken by professionally qualified valuers.
Revaluations are performed at least once in every five years to ensure that the
carrying amount does not differ materially from the fair value of the land and b
uildings
at the reporting date.
Upon transition to MFRS, the Group has elected to apply the optional exemption a
nd
measure all its property, plant land equipment at cost model under MFRS 116
Property, Plant and Equipment. At the date of transition to MFRS, the Group uses
previous revaluation at or before the date of transition as deemed cost as these
amounts were broadly comparable to fair value at that date. Accordingly, the
revaluation surplus has been transferred to retained profits.

(e) Use of Estimates and Judgements
As mentioned in Note 2.1 (a), the Directors make their estimates based on histor
ical
experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements abo
ut
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumpti

or conditions.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the esti

2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Subsidiaries and Basis of Consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the power to govern the
financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities.
The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently
exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the
Group has such power over another entity.
In the Company s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries
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.
(ii) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of
the Company and its subsidiaries as at the reporting date.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on
which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the
date that such control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial
statements, intragroup balances, transactions and unrealised gains or
losses are eliminated in full. Uniform accounting policies are adopted in the
consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar
circumstances.
Acquisitions of subsidiary companies are accounted for using the purchase
method. The cost of the business combination is measured as the
aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given,
liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group
in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to
the business combination. The acquiree s identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for the recognition under MFRS
3 Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at the
acquisition date.

2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(a) Subsidiaries and Basis of Consolidation (Continued)
(ii) Basis of Consolidation (Continued)
Any excess of the cost of business combination over the Group's share in
the net fair value of the acquired subsidiary s identifiable assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities represents goodwill. Any excess of the Group's
share in the net fair value of the acquired subsidiary s identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of business combination is
recognised as income in the profit or loss on the date of acquisition.
(b) Property, Plant and Equipment
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a
separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the ite
m
can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is
derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss
as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, property, plant and equipment ar
e
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses,
if any.
Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.
Building in progress will be depreciated when the property, plant and equipment
are ready for their intended use. Leasehold land is amortised on a straight-line
basis over the period of the respective leases whilst depreciation of other prop
erty,
plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line basis so as to write off
their depreciable amounts over their estimated useful lives. The principal annua
l
rates of depreciation used are:
Buildings and improvement 2% -20%
Plant, machinery, tools and equipment 4% -10%
Motor vehicles 20%
Office equipment, furniture and fittings 10%
Renovation 2% -20%

(b) Property, Plant and Equipment (Continued)
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment commences when it is available for
use and does not cease when the asset become idle or is retired from active use
unless the asset is fully depreciated.
The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each
financial year end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation
are consistent with the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic
benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when
no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or loss
es
arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is
determined as the difference between the net sale proceeds, and the carrying
amount of the asset and is recognised in the profit or loss.
(c) Investment Properties
Investment properties are properties which are held to earn rental income or
capital appreciation or for both. These include land held for a currently
undetermined future use. Investment properties are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the investment properties. The estimated useful lives
of
the buildings are between 14 to 50 years. Freehold land is not depreciated as it
has an unlimited useful life.
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of
or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future
economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gain or losses on the
retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in profit or los
s in
the year of retirement or disposal.

(d) Leasehold land use rights
Leasehold land use rights are initially measured at cost. Following initial
recognition, leasehold land use rights are measured at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. The leasehold land use rights
are amortised over their lease terms.
(e) Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised in the statements of financial position when, an
d
only when, the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual
provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value
plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss,
directly
attributable transaction costs.
The Group and the Company determine the classification of their financial assets
at initial recognition, and the categories include financial assets at fair valu
e
through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and
available-for-sale financial assets.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit
or
loss if they are held for trading or are designated as such upon initial
recognition. Financial assets held for trading are derivatives (including
separated embedded derivatives) or financial assets acquired principally for the
purpose of selling in the near term.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit
or
loss are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fai
r
value are recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or net losses on financial
assets at fair value through profit or loss do not include exchange differences,
interest and dividend income. Exchange differences, interest and dividend
income on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised
separately in profit or loss as part of other losses or other income.

(e) Financial assets (Continued)
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (Continued)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss could be presented as
current or non-current. Financial assets that is held primarily for trading
purposes are presented as current whereas financial assets that is not held
primarily for trading purposes are presented as current or non-current based on
the settlement date.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Financial assets include trade and other receivables with fixed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and
receivables.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are
recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or
impaired, and through the amortisation process.
Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having
maturity dates later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classifie
d
as non-current.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are
classified as held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and
ability to hold the investment to maturity.
Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity investments are measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are
recognised in profit or loss when the held-to-maturity investments are
derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
Held-to-maturity investments are classified as non-current assets, except for
those having maturity within 12 months after the reporting date which are
classified as current.

(e) Financial assets (Continued)
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are financial assets that are designated as
available for sale or are not classified in any of the three preceding categorie
s.
After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at f
air
value. Any gains or losses from changes in fair value of the financial assets
are recognised in other comprehensive income, except that impairment
losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments and
interest calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profit
or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other
comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a
reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is derecognised. Interest
income calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or
loss. Dividends on an available-for-sale equity instrument are recognised in
profit or loss when the Group and the Company s right to receive payment is
established.
Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably
measured are measured at cost less impairment loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets unless
they are expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date.
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash
flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its
entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the
consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been
recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets
that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by
regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. All regular way
purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on
the trade date i.e., the date that the Group and the Company commit to
purchase or sell the asset.

(f) Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective
evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
(i) Available-for-sale financial assets
Significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, significant financial
difficulties of the issuer or obligor, and the disappearance of an active tradin
g
market are considerations to determine whether there is objective evidence
that investment securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are
impaired.
If an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the
difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation)
and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in
profit or loss, is transferred from equity to profit or loss.
Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments are not reversed in
profit or loss in the subsequent periods. Increase in fair value, if any,
subsequent to impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income.
For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently
reversed in profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment ca
n
be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the
impairment loss in profit or loss.
(ii) Unquoted equity securities carried at cost
If there is objective evidence (such as significant adverse changes in the
business environment where the issuer operates, probability of insolvency or
significant financial difficulties of the issuer) that an impairment loss on
financial assets carried at cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is
measured as the difference between the asset s carrying amount and the
present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market
rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses are not
reversed in subsequent periods.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(f) Impairment of financial assets (Continued)
(iii)
Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at
amortised cost
To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on
financial assets has been incurred, the Group and the Company consider
factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficult
ies
of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. For certain
categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are
assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for
impairment on a collective basis based on similar risk characteristics.
Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include
the Group s and the Company s past experience of collecting payments, an
increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average
credit period and observable changes in national or local economic
conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as
the difference between the asset s carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset s original
effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss
directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where
the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
When a trade receivable becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the
allowance account. Bad debts are written off when identified.
If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and
the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the
impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is
reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed
its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised
in profit or loss.
(g) Impairment of Non Financial Assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non financ
ial
assets (excluding inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether ther
e
is any indication of impairment by comparing its carrying amount with its
recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset s fair value
less costs to sell and its value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment
,
assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifia
ble
cash flows (cash generating units).
71

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(g) Impairment of Non Financial Assets (Continued)
In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of mone
y
and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset excee
ds
its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses recognised in respect of a cash-generating unit or groups of
cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any
goodwill allocated to those units or group of units and then, to reduce the carr
ying
amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss except for assets that are
previously revalued where the revaluation was taken to other comprehensive
income. In this case the impairment is also recognised in other comprehensive
income up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any
indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or
may have decreased. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if
there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset s
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the
case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount.
That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised
previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is
measured at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a
revaluation increase.
(h) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is determined using first-in, first-out as the basis and includes all costs
in
bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of wo
rk in
progress and finished goods comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct
costs and an appropriate portion of production overheads. Net realisable value i
s
the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimate
d
cost to completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(i) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractu
al
arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability.
Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the
statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the Company
become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financ
ial
liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or
loss or other financial liabilities.
(i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial lia
bilities
held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition a
s at
fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities held for trading include derivatives entered into by the G
roup
and the Company that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria. Derivative
liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently stated at fair
value, with any resultant gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. Net gain
s
or losses on derivatives include exchange differences.
The Group and the Company have not designated any financial liabilities as at
fair value through profit or loss.
(ii) Other financial liabilities
The Group s and the Company s other financial liabilities include trade
payables and other payables.
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly
attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.
For other financial liabilities, gains and losses are recognised in profit or lo
ss
when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.

(i) Financial liabilities (Continued)
(ii) Other financial liabilities (Continued)
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is
extinguished. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from t
he
same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liabil
ity
are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability,
and
the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or los
s.
(iii) Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make
specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a
specified debtor fails to make payment when due.
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair va
lue,
net of transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial guarantee
contracts are recognised as income in profit or loss over the period of the
guarantee. If the debtor fails to make payment relating to financial guarantee
contract when it is due and the Group, as the issuer, is required to reimburse
the holder for the associated loss, the liability is measured at the higher of t
he
best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at th
e
reporting date and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation.
(j) Equity Instruments
Ordinary shares are classified as equity instruments. Dividends on ordinary shar
es
are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared.
(k) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of eco
nomic
resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obliga
tion
can be estimated reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the curre
nt
best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources
will
be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect o
f the
time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre t
ax

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.

(l) Contingencies
A contingent liability or asset is a possible obligation or asset that arises fr
om past
events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group
.
Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised in the consolidated stateme
nt
of financial position of the Group.
(m) Income Recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated
with the transaction will flow to the Group and the Company and the amount of th
e
revenue can be measured reliably. The following specific recognition criteria mu
st
be met before revenue is recognised:
(i) Sales of goods
Revenue from sales of goods is recognised upon the transfer of significant risk
and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer and measured net of
sales tax.
(ii) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the Group s right to receive payment is
established.
(iii) Interest income
Interest is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.
(iv) Rental income
Rental income is recognised on straight-line basis over the lease terms.
(v) Management fee income
Management fees are recognised when services are rendered.

(n) Foreign Currencies
(i) Functional and Presentation Currency
The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured
using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity
operates ( the functional currencies ). The consolidated financial statements
are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the Company s
functional currency.
(ii) Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional
currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries and are recorded on initial
recognition in the functional currencies at exchange rates approximating those
ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reportin
g
date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are
measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates as at the
dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign
currencies measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at
the date when the fair value was determined.
All exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
(o) Income Tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred
tax.
(i) Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profi

differs from profit as reported in the statements of comprehensive income
because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible
in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or
deductible. The Group s and the Company s liability for current tax is
calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by
the end of the reporting date.

2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(o) Income Tax (Continued)
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax
bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are
generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax
assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences,
unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be recognised.
Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference
arises from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transac
tion
that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each
reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset t
o be
recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are
expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset
realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of
deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would
follow from the manner in which the Group and the Company expect, at the
reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and
liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally
enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities
and
when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and
the Group and the Company intend to settle its current tax assets and
liabilities on a net basis.
(iii) Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss in the statements of
comprehensive income, except when they relate to items credited or debited
directly to equity, in which case the tax is also recognised directly in equity.

(o) Income Tax (Continued)
(iv) Sales tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales
tax except:
-Where the sales tax incurred in a purchase of assets or services is not
recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the
expense item as applicable; and
- Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax
included.
The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation
authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of
financial position.
(p) Employee Benefits
Short-term benefits
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave, bonuses and social security contributions ar
e
recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are
rendered by employees. Short-term accumulating compensated absences such
as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees
that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short-term nonaccumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the
absences occur.

employees and Directors have earned in return for their service in the current a
nd
prior years is estimated. That benefit is discounted in order to determine its
present value.
The discount rate is yield at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds
or

Negative pledges for RM10 million (2012: RM10 million) over all movable and immo
vable property, plant and
equipment are given to a local bank to secure banking facilities extended to a s
ubsidiary as disclosed in Note 25.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line method over the
ir estimated useful lives as
specified under note 2.2(b). Any changes in the expected level of usage and tech
nological developments could
impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these property, plan
t and equipment; therefore future
depreciation charges could be re-estimated and revised.

The Group has developed certain criteria based on MFRS 140 in making judgement w
hether
a property qualifies as an investment property. Investment property is a propert
y held to earn
rentals or for capital appreciation or both. In making judgement, the Group cons
iders
whether a property generates cash flows largely independently of other assets he
ld by the
Group. Owner occupied properties generate cash flows that are attributable not o
nly to the
properties, but also to other assets used in the production and supply of goods
and services.
Judgement is made on an individual property basis to determine whether ancillary
services
are so significant that a property does not qualify as investment property.
The estimated fair value of the investment properties as at 30 April 2013 is app
roximately
RM17,800,000 (2012: RM14,600,000). The fair value for the year was obtained from
observable
market information, determined by reference to similiar industrial land and prop

erties which have


been offered for sale.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Group and the Company are exposed to financial risks arising from their oper
ations and
the use of financial instruments. The key financial risks include credit risk, l
iquidity risk,
interest rate risk and market price risk.
The Board of Directors reviews and agrees on policies and procedures for the man
agement
of these risks. The Audit Committee provides independent oversight to the effect
iveness of
the risk management process.
The following sections provide details regarding the Group's and the Company's e
xposure to
the abovementioned financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes fo
r the
management of these risks.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instrume
nts should a
counterparty default on its obligations. At the reporting date, the Group s and th
e Company s
exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables. For o
ther financial
assets (including investments in equity instruments and cash and bank balances),
the Group
and the Company minimise credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rat
ing
counterparties.
Credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, is controlled by the appl
ication of credit
approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Credit evaluations are performed on
customers
requiring credit exceeding a certain amount and by limiting the Group s business
associations to parties with high credit worthiness. Trade receivables are monit
ored on an
ongoing basis to ensure that the Group is exposed to minimal credit risk.
Exposure to credit risk
At the reporting date, the Group's and the Company's maximum exposure to credit
risk is
represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised
in the
statements of financial position.
Credit risk concentration profile
Approximately 24% (2012: 12%) of the Group s trade and other receivables were due
from a

customer.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the G
roup's and the
Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market inte
rest rates.
The Group s and the Company s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates
is
related primarily to the Group s and the Company s cash deposits placed with license
d
commercial banks and investment banks and the Group and the Company had no inter
est
bearing debts at the reporting date.
The Group s and the Company s income and operating cash flows are substantially
independent of changes in market interest rate. The investment in financial asse
ts are
mainly short-term in nature and are not held for speculative purposes but are pl
aced in fixed
deposits and money market funds.
The exposure of financial assets of the Group and the Company to interest rate r
isk is as
follows:

Interest Rate Risk (Continued)
Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk
At the reporting date, if interest rates had been 15 basis points higher/lower,
with all other
variables held constant, the Group's and the Company's profit net of tax would h
ave been
RM48,601 and RM40,128 higher/lower respectively, arising mainly as a result of
higher/lower interest income from placements of fund in short term deposits and
fixed
deposits.
Liquidity and Cash Flow Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting f
inancial obligations
due to shortage of funds. The Group s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily
from
mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities.
The Group actively manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and t
he
availability of funding so as to ensure that all commitments and funding needs a
re met.
As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, it is the Group policy to e
nsure its future
cash obligations by forecasting its cash commitments and maintaining sufficient
level of
cash and cash equivalents to meet its working capital requirements.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group s liabilities at the
reporting
date based on contractual undiscounted repayment obligations.

Market Risk (Continued)
The Group and Company is exposed to equity securities price risk arising from in
vestments
in quoted equity comprising mainly quoted shares listed on Bursa Malaysia Securi
ties
Berhad held by the Group and Company that are classified as available-for-sale
investments. The risk of loss in value is minimised by performing proper investm
ent decision
and continuously monitoring the performance of investments held and assessing ma
rket risk
relevant to which the investment operate. The Group and the Company manage the
investment with a view to optimising returns on realisation. The management cons
iders that
the changes in the Bursa Malaysia equity index will not have any material impact
on the
Group s and Company s fair value adjustment reserve.
Fair Values
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables/p
ayables
approximate fair values due to the relatively short term maturity of these finan
cial
instruments.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The fair value of quoted investments is based on Level 1 valuation, that is, bas
ed on the
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
31 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group s objectives of managing capital are to safeguard the Group s ability to c
ontinue
in operations as a going concern in order to provide fair returns for shareholde
rs and
benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to
reduce the
cost of capital. In order to maintain the optimal capital structure, the Group m
ay, from time to
time, adjust the dividend payout to shareholders, return capital to shareholders
and issue
new shares, where necessary. For capital management purposes, the Group consider
s
shareholders equity and total liabilities to be the key components in the Group s c
apital
structure. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. The rat
io is
calculated as the total liabilities to total equity. Total equity is the sum of
total equity
attributable to shareholders.
The gearing ratio as at 30 April 2013 and 2012, which are within the Group s objec

tives for
capital management, are as follows:
