Statement
Dear Shareholders,
Strong Overall Financial Performance
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased

to present the Annual Report of Oldtown Berhad
(the Company or the Group) for the financial
year ended 31st March 2014 (FY2014).
Despite operating under a competitive business
environment, the Group turned in another year of
credible performance.
The solid financial performance of FY2014(Note) was another

exemplary effort attributed to the dedicated commitment of the
Groups management team and employees. For the FY2014, the
Group achieved a consolidated revenue and profit of RM382.172
million and RM50.33 million respectively.
Note: The Company had on 27th August 2012 changed its financial year end from
31st December to 31st March. The financial period ended 31st March 2013 was
made up of results for 15 months covering the period from 1st January 2012
to 31st March 2013. Thereafter, the fiscal financial year has restored back to
ordinary 12 months covering the period from 1st April 2013 to 31st March 2014.
Manufacturing of Beverages Took Lead as Revenue

and Earnings Growth Driver
Both the caf chain operation and manufacturing of beverages
contributed to the strong financial performance of the Group. The
operation of the caf chain segment continued to be the main and
dominant revenue contributor to the Group, bringing in 54% of the
FY2014 revenue, whilst the remaining 46% was contributed by the
manufacturing of beverages segment.
The caf chain operation registered a total revenue and profit
before tax of RM207.059 million and RM31.341 million
respectively. The Groups manufacturing of beverages segment
reported revenue of RM175.113 million and profit before tax of
RM35.929 million in FY2014.
The Groups FY2014 profit before tax included an amortisation of
intangible assets of RM3.53 million wherein RM1.19 million was
attributed to the amortisation of the acquired intangible asset of the
foreign subsidiary in Hong Kong, Advance City Limited.
Overall, the profit after taxation of the Group for FY2014 was
recorded at RM50.33 million. This was mainly attributed to the
double-digit growth in the business operations of manufacturing of
beverages segment.

Sustainable Earnings
The Group registered a net profit attributable to owners of the
Company of RM48.938 million in FY2014 against the net profit
attributable to owners of the Company of RM55.527 million
in FP2013 (15-month period ended 31st March 2013), which
translated into an earnings per share of RM0.11 for FY2014 (an
average of 2.75 sen per quarter) against FP2013 earnings per
share of RM0.13 (an average of 2.60 sen per quarter), based on
an enlarged share capital base of 453.597 million ordinary shares
at RM1.00 each after adjusting for a 1-for-4 bonus issue exercise
which was completed on 28 January 2014.
Strengthening Financial Position

As at 31st March 2014, the total shareholders fund increased to
RM329.290 million, an increase of RM24.439 million from FP2013.
This has also resulted in an improved gearing ratio (Net Debt to
Equity) of 0.07x from 0.11x in FP2013. The reduction in the gearing
ratio was due to the higher net profit generated and repayment of
term loans.
The fixed deposits, cash and bank balances as at 31st March 2014
amounted to RM99.884 million against a total debt of RM24.297
million. As a result, the Group was in a net cash position of
RM75.587 million as at 31st March 2014.
With a solid financial position, the Group is well-placed to leverage
on efficient financing options as well as flexibilities to expand its
business in the near future. The Group is in a strong position to deal
with any contingencies that may arise.
Healthy Financial Liquidity

During the FY2014, the Group generated a net increase in cash
flow of RM14.010 million (compared to RM0.4 million in FP2013)
on the back of the strong EBITDA of RM87.411 million achieved
and constant vigilance on working capital management strategies.
The net increase in cash flow was generated even after the cash
purchase of property, plant and equipment of RM17.366 million and
net cash used in the acquisition of subsidiaries of RM18.289 million
to support the growth momentum of our two businesses.
This clearly underlines the unique strength of the cash generative
nature of the Groups core business for the past 3 reporting periods
since the Company first reported its audited financial statements
back in 2011.
12
The net cash outflow in respect of financing activities of

RM25.488 million was primarily due to the repayment of term
loans of RM13.263 million and dividend payment of RM10.890
million. As at 31st March 2014, the cash and cash equivalents
was RM99.095 million.
Enhancing Shareholders Value Dividend

Delivering consistent positive growth for the Group has always
been a primary target of Oldtown in order to generate value for our
shareholders. This is important given the fact that since our listing,
we have a steadfast group of shareholders who have remained with
us and have enjoyed strong dividend yields coupled with significant
capital appreciation on their investments.
Towards this end, we have adopted a dividend policy to distribute
a minimum of 50% of the Groups annual profit attributable to the
owners of the Company as a dividend.
Whilst retaining a sizable portion of profits and funds to finance
future growth, the Company also strives to reward its shareholders
with a reasonable level of dividend payout.
In respect of the financial year ended 31st March 2014, a first
interim single-tier dividend of 3.0 sen per share amounting to
RM13.589 million, based on an enlarged share capital of 453.597
million ordinary shares after completion of 1-for-4 bonus issue and
net of 0.611 million treasury shares held by the Company, was paid
on 17th April 2014.
The Board of Directors further recommended a final single-tier
dividend of 3.0 sen per share, based on an enlarged share capital of
453.597 million ordinary shares, net of treasury shares held by the
Company at the time of dividend payment, in respect of the financial
year ended 31st March 2014. The recommended final singletier dividend is subject to the approval of the shareholders at the
forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Should the estimated final single-tier dividend of RM13.589 million
be approved by the shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General
Meeting, coupled with the RM13.589 million interim single-tier
dividend paid on 17th April 2014, this will translate into a dividend
payout ratio of 55.5% in respect of the financial year ended
31st March 2014. The cumulative total dividend payout would
be RM27.179 million against a net profit attributable to owners
of the Company of RM48.938 million in FY2014, if and after the
final single-tier dividend of RM13.589 million is approved by the
shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Recent Corporate Development

Bonus Issue Exercise
On 27th November 2013, the Company has proposed to undertake
a bonus issue exercise that entails an issuance of up to 90.75
million bonus shares on the basis of one (1) bonus share for every
four (4) existing ordinary shares held by the shareholders on the
entitlement date.
The bonus issue will increase the capital base of Oldtown to a level
that will better reflect the Groups current scale of operations and
also serves to reward the existing shareholders of the Company
for their continuous support by enabling them to have greater
participation in the equity of the Company in terms of the number of
shares held whilst retaining their percentage of equity interest. The
bonus issue may also enhance the marketability, affordability and
liquidity of Companys shares trading on Bursa Malaysia Securities
Berhad (Bursa Securities).
On 28th January 2014, a total of 90.597 million bonus shares
pursuant to the 1-for-4 bonus issue exercise were successfully
listed and quoted on the Main Market of Bursa Securities. The
newly issued 90.597 million ordinary shares represented an
increase of approximately 25% against the Companys issue and
paid-up share capital of 363 million ordinary shares. The bonus
issue has subsequently increased the issued and paid-up share
capital of the Company from RM363.0 million to RM453.597
million at RM1.00 each.
Challenging Business Prospects Moving Forward

The Malaysian economy is expected to remain on a steady growth
path in 2014, expanding by 4.5%-5.5% after a robust year-on-year
GDP growth rate of 4.7% in 2013 against 5.6% in 2012. The growth
momentum is expected to be supported by improved performance
in the external sector. Domestic demand will remain the key driver
of growth, albeit at a more moderate pace, in tandem with moderate
household spending, reflecting in part the impact of higher inflation.
Notwithstanding, the moderation in domestic demand, the underlying
fundamentals of the Malaysian economy remain strong. Growth
will be driven by the private sector across a diversified range of
economic activities whilst employment remains strong and incomes
are rising. The financial system is resilient with financial institutions
expected to provide continued support to investment activities. In
addition, the strength of Malaysias external position remains intact,
with international reserves at healthy levels and external debt within
prudent limits.
13
We expect that the business environment in the Asia Pacific region

will continue to be positively supported by the gradual improvement
in external demand. However, the degree of improvement in exports
could vary across the region. Nevertheless, we do look forward to
the future with confidence because of the fundamental strengths
of our businesses. We expect both our caf chain outlets and
manufacturing of beverages to continue to generate growth by virtue
of its powerful brands, distribution strength and market position in
the regional markets on which we focus and which are delivering
such robust growth opportunities.
The Company will continue to scale new heights in the near future
based on the holistic business and corporate strategies formulated
and as described in detail in the Group Managing Directors Review
of Operations of the Company in this Annual Report. I am optimistic
that all of these initiatives will be implemented by the current
management team with the primary aim to achieve good Groups
performance in the ensuing year.
Acknowledgement

appreciation to our valued shareholders, bankers, customers,

Oldtown Berhad (the Company or the Group)

is one of the largest caf operators and beverage
players in Malaysia. Our integrated business
model, anchored by our two complementary
growth engines, has proven to be an outstanding
success. This is clearly evident by the Groups
robust performance during the 12-month financial
year ended 31st March 2014 (FY2014). The
Group has successfully sustained its business
expansion momentum to grow its operation of
caf chain and manufacturing of beverages.
Overall Financial Review - Another Record Year, An

Excellent Performance with Healthy Balance Sheet
The Group ended the financial year with a total revenue of
RM382.172 million, an increase of 10.9% from the previous year
based on 12-month comparative performance. In addition, we
were equally excited with the performance in the 3rd quarter of
FY2014 whereby we have achieved a notable breakthrough in
our business performance as the Groups revenue for a single
quarter has breached the RM100 millionth mark for the first time
since the listing of our Company in Bursa Malaysia in 2011. The
record revenue was attributable to the continued resilience of
our mainstay caf chain business and the sterling growth of our
beverage manufacturing segment.
The caf chain business remains the key revenue contributor,
generating healthy sales with revenue reaching RM207.059 million
in FY2014, an increase of 1.2% against RM204.625 million in
the previous year (on 12-month comparison). On the other hand,
revenue from the manufacturing beverage business grew 25.1% to
RM175.113 million, compared to RM140.002 million the year before
(on 12-month comparison). The healthy growth of this segment was
underpinned by strengthening demand for our white coffee 3-in-1
products in existing and new markets, which is well supported by the
additional production capacity that came on stream during the year.
Our integrated business enables us to control most aspects of the
supply chain to ensure product quality, and mitigate price fluctuations
in raw materials as well as to retain as much of the profit as possible
within the Group. Amongst others, this allows us to be more costeffective to compete with other service providers as well as other
coffee beverage producers. As a result, the Group is able to maintain
its Profit Before Tax (PBT) and Profit After Tax (PAT) margin within
a narrow range of 16-18% and 12-14% respectively in each quarter
during the financial year. Despite operating in a highly competitive
environment, the Group is able to achieve a relatively stable and
respectable PAT margin of about 17.4 % and 17.8% for the FY2014
and FP2013 (15-month financial period ended 31st March 2013)
respectively through measures that drove effective cost management
and operational efficiency.
The Groups caf chain operation recorded PBT of RM31.341 million
for the FY2014 on the back of the revenue of RM207.059 million.
This represents a 7.2% drop in PBT as compared to RM33.779
million achieved in a 12-month period ended 31st March 2013
owing to higher operating costs mainly attributable to the minimum
wage ruling for foreign workers.

Manufacturing of beverages segment recorded revenue of

RM175.113 million and PBT of RM35.929 million for the 12-month
period ended 31st March 2014. The revenue and PBT were
RM140.002 million and RM26.688 million respectively for the
12-month period ended 31st March 2013. The increase in PBT of
34.6% was attributable to the surge in revenue of 25.1% and eleven
(11) months profit contribution from the Hong Kong subsidiary
acquired during the financial year, of which the results were
consolidated from 1st May 2013.
2013/2014 OPERATIONS REVIEW

Caf Chain Segment - Challenging Environment
The operation of the caf chain segment continued to be the main
revenue contributor to the Group, attributing 54% of the consolidated
revenue for the FY2014 (60% of the consolidated revenue for the
15-month period, FP2013).
The caf chain segment revenue has grown more than four (4) folds
from a low proforma consolidated revenue of RM47.889 million
achieved in FY2007 to RM207.059 million in FY2014 (Note 1). This
clearly demonstrated the Groups ability to consistently expand the
scale of operation over the years.
The Oldtown Group spearheaded the development of the Asian caf
chain in 2005 with our first outlet in Ipoh. As at 31st March 2014,
the Group has a total of 238 caf outlets in Malaysia, Singapore,
Indonesia and China. Amongst the 238 caf outlets, 89 are fully
owned caf outlets, 20 partially owned outlets, 108 franchised and
21 licensed outlets.
Note (1): The restructuring exercise was completed on 16 May 2011 (Completion
Date) as disclosed in the Prospectus of the Company dated 22 June 2011.
The above comment on the Groups financial performance refers to the audited
Statements of Comprehensive Income for FY2014 against FY2007 which was
prepared based on the combined results of Oldtown Berhad and its subsidiaries
(the Group), assuming the Group has existed on or before 1 January 2007.
Domestic Market Vibrant and competitive

On the domestic front, we are adopting multipronged strategies to
penetrate into new market segments and strengthen our leading
market position as the largest Asian caf chain operator in Malaysia.
Under the Groups market development plans, we are planning to
add 12 to 15 new outlets in Malaysia in FY2015. Currently, our
OLDTOWN caf outlets operate mostly in urban cities throughout
Malaysia and we shall progressively expand into the suburban and
rural markets over the next few years, whereby most of the second-
16
and third-tier cities and townships present vast opportunities for the
Group to reach a wider scope and range of customers.
Since the introduction of our first Generic Outlet back in 2005, we
have progressed upscale to create Signature Outlets in 2008 and
Basic Kiosk Outlets in 2012. The evolution and innovation continued,
with the roll-out of our first Grand Outlet in 2013.
Our Groups main objective was always to provide our customers
with superior quality service and in-store experience. This means that
we put the customer at the centre of our activity, and consequently,
all our decisions and actions take into consideration the needs of our
customers. As a result, we introduced Generic, Basic, Signature and
Grand outlet concepts to position OLDTOWN caf outlets to become
the favourite destinations for comprehensive customers experience
where all Malaysians can get together regardless of their social
status, disposable income and purchasing power.
We offer our customers a wide range of products through our well
thought-out and customer-friendly menus for breakfast, lunch, tea,
dinner and supper time for each outlet concept, making it easy for
each of them to make the right choice when it comes to ordering.
To complement the in-store experience, our outlets also provide
customers with free access to wireless internet.
International Market Untapped Potential

For the international markets, we were able to penetrate deeper into
existing markets within Asia and further into new regions. As at 31st
March 2014, a total of 30 OLDTOWN caf outlets were operating
in Singapore, Indonesia and China as compared to 23 outlets as at
31st March 2013.
As our operations continue to expand overseas, we face challenges
in new markets and cultures, each with different types of customers
demanding for unique and appealing products. We continuously
strive to offer our customers superior value and satisfaction, focusing
not only on product range, but also on the services we provide.
On a related note, we have recently completed the refurbishment
of our outlets with contemporary design and innovative concept for
OLDTOWN caf outlets in Singapore. In addition, certain outlets were
relocated upon expiry of tenancy to mature developed areas such as
City Square Mall and Yew Tee Point in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
The sales performance post-refurbishment is fairly encouraging,
thereby making Singapore as the most profitable overseas market for
the Group. In line with our development plans in Singapore, two (2)
to three (3) new outlets are scheduled to be opened in FY2015 and

at the same time we are also exploring new licensing opportunities
within the same market.
For the Indonesian market, we plan to add another six (6) to eight
(8) new caf outlets in FY2015. To accelerate the expansion plans
in Indonesia, we are shifting away from the business model of
company-owned and operated outlets to the sub-licensing model as
we plan to open more sub-licensed outlets in Indonesia in FY2015.
Just a recap, we managed to open seven (7) new caf outlets in
FY2014 and currently we are operating a total of seventeen (17) caf
outlets in Indonesia as at 31st March 2014.
Consistent with our aspirations to become Asia Pacifics Leading
White Coffee Brand, we are continuing the planned expansion of
our international caf outlets. Our determined efforts to expand
into new markets to fuel further growth will materialise soon as the
Group notched up a significant milestone on 19th May 2014 with
the appointment of OTK (Australia) Sdn Bhd as Master Licensee to
spearhead the Groups expansion of OLDTOWN caf outlets business
in Australia through the execution of a Master License Agreement.
The appointed Master Licensee is responsible for the setting up
of a network of OLDTOWN caf outlets in Australia, as well as to
establish, build and operate a distribution centre and a central
kitchen to support the planned number of caf outlets in the long
run. The Master Licensee is also allowed to appoint Sub-Licensees to
hasten the development of OLDTOWN caf outlets upon fulfillment of
certain terms and conditions set by the Group.
The recent venture into the Australian market forms part of the
Groups overall international expansion plans and is expected to lift
the Groups operational performance and market position to greater
heights in order to become a more sustainable and competitive
business enterprise of tomorrow.
Manufacturing of Beverages Segment

Another Record Year with Robust Growth
The Groups manufacturing of beverages division continued to grow
from strength to strength in FY2014 with revenue of RM175.113
million, up from RM169.685 million in FP2013. This business
segment now accounted for 46% of the Groups total revenue, up
from 40% in the preceding period.
The Groups manufacturing of beverages division reported
record revenues and record profits in FY2014. Revenues grew
to RM175.113 million and profit before tax (PBT) grew to
RM35.929 million (the consolidated revenue and PBT derived
17
from the manufacturing of beverages segment in FP2013 was

RM169.685 million and RM33.765 million respectively) yearon-year increases of 3.2% and 6.4%. We believe that this record
performance marks a ringing endorsement of our products,
business model, and our strategies.
The higher quantum of revenue achieved in FY2014 compared to
FP2013, despite FY2014 only has a shorter financial period of 12
months against FP2013s extended financial period of 15 months,
was mainly due to increase in both local and export sales for the
Groups beverage products as well as rapid expansion of distribution
networks across various countries.
Despite the challenging business environment in FY2014, the
growth momentum of our manufacturing of beverages division
remained strong and we achieved another year of record financial
performance, both top-line and earnings. More significantly, our team
has delivered a multi-year growth. Over FY2007 (Note 1) FY2014,
the divisions revenue Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
translates to 33% per annum with an even more impressive PBT
CAGR of 35% per annum. The successful execution of holistic
strategy is the winning combination that has delivered record
revenues and record earnings.
Domestic Market A Crowded Field

The local manufacturing of beverages industry is highly competitive.
The Groups success in the white coffee segment has attracted
the attention of competitors. Major local and international brands
undertook strong advertising and promotional campaigns and we
had to match the competition with more aggressive marketing
campaigns as well as frequent promotional activities. Our
competitors may disrupt our market position with lower pricing and
products of different packaging. However, we are optimistic that we
can overcome these challenges with our unique brand identity and
high-quality products.
During FY2014, the domestic market remained as our single largest
market for our white coffee products and we maintained our leading
position in the white coffee segment in Malaysia. Our differentiated
brand marketing, leveraging on the origin of white coffee is reaping
rewards as the marketing data have revealed success in reaching
the targeted market segment. In essence, our domestic market will
be a potentially large coffee market, and we believe our strategy to
develop our coffee brands as premium labels will enable sustainable
long-term growth in this growing coffee segment in the future.
Group Managing
Directors Review
of Operations

We believe our investment in strengthening our brand will help us

to stay ahead of the competition and taken our market position in
the domestic market to newer heights. We will consistently invest
in advertising, promotional and marketing campaigns to promote
OLDTOWNs branding and to enhance its brand equity value and
customer loyalty in the marketplace. We appreciate that a successful
brand strategy is critical to the growth of our business, especially in
influencing consumers purchasing decisions.
Our marketing and promotional campaigns are comprehensive
to ensure in-depth coverage of every customer group in the
demographics. These include print media, such as major stream
newspapers and magazines; the digital media world such as radio
and TV commercials; online media and social networks.
In addition, the Group had initiated a nationwide True White Coffee
media campaign by working closely with various mainstream print
media and online media to promote OLDTOWNs branding directly
and indirectly via their platform since 2nd Quarter 2014 in Malaysia,
such as with an English daily The Star, Chinese daily Sin Chew Jit
Poh, Sin Chew Life Online, and Malay daily Harian Metro, as well as
with the borderless online media Says dot com and MSN dot com.
We are adopting an indirect yet innovative approach in pursuing our
goals instead of via ordinary conventional direct advertisement or
advertorial page. While we try to build awareness on the culture and
the heritage of the Ipoh Old Town, we strongly advocate Oldtown as
the original True White Coffee producer; to discover OLDTOWN White
Coffees unique ingredients and the process of producing the True
White Coffee; to explore creative ways of using of 3-in-1 OLDTOWN
White Coffee in making desserts as an alternative to enjoy the True
White Coffee, etc. The underlying message is to educate consumers
on our ability to produce a wide range of products to suit different
taste preferences and raise the awareness level that the wide range
of 3-in-1 OLDTOWN White Coffee are manufactured from the best
combination of three (3) types of premium coffee beans, i.e. Liberica,
Arabica and Robusta, according to our proprietary formula.
Leveraging on the runaway success of the local production The
Journey in early 2014, we responded swiftly to collaborate with the
lead actor and actress to produce a TV commercial with a storyline
to embed the True White Coffees message while connecting heritage
with family emotions within the advertisement. The TV commercials
were featured in different channels under local satellite TV station
ASTRO, such as Wah Lai Toi, AEC, Hua Hee Dai, Shuang Xing,
TVB Xing He, TVB Classic, TVBS Asia, and TVB Entertainment News
programmes in 2nd Quarter 2014.
18
Besides the mainstream TV commercial and advertisement that

are targeted to expand the Groups market share, we have also
organised various on-the-ground events such as consumer contests,
product testing and sampling, road shows, and participated in expos
and exhibitions. In the domestic market, we foresee growing demand
as the Group is actively participating in various joint marketing
programs organised by the local key retailers such as the launching
of Old Town White Coffee Chinese New Year Gift Pack, conducting
exclusive consumer contests via collaborations with Giant and AEON
and launching of the Modern Trade Display Contest. Our marketing
team has also initiated breakthrough efforts by participating in
Jom Heboh events at various locations in Malaysia to broaden
our brand presence in the Halal market segment. Similarly, our
recent participation in ASTRO GEMPAK, and the group marketing
campaigns, at Kuala Lumpur, Johor, and Kuala Terengganu is
targeted to raise OLDTOWN White Coffee brand awareness within
the Halal-market segment.
We believe, by continuing to invest in our brand, OLDTOWN will be
able to maintain its dominant presence in the domestic market. Our
Group has commanded a leading position in terms of market share
for the past 5 years within the instant white coffee mix category,
as a result of our continuous effort to engage consumers through
successful execution of all the above mentioned promotional
activities and marketing campaigns.
International Market Growing Rapidly

Currently, with an established presence in the Asia Pacific region
and an extensive distribution network, our products can be seen
in over fourteen (14) countries and contributed about 58% of the
revenue of the manufacturing of beverages division. The aggressive
branding and marketing campaigns coupled with the continued
customisation of products have contributed to the robust business
momentum in countries such as Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Hong
Kong and China.
This international business segment grew strongly in FY2014 with
higher sales for the Asia region, particularly in China, Taiwan and
Hong Kong, as well as increased demand from Southeast Asian
countries. The excellent growth in Asia is well supported by the
comprehensive distribution networks.
As Hong Kong is also one of the largest export markets for the
Group, we have intensified our advertising campaign by displaying
OLDTOWN advertisements at various MTR stations (underground
train system) in Hong Kong in November-December 2013 to create
greater awareness of our beverage products. Amongst the busiest

MTR stations with heavy daily human traffic flow that have displayed
OLDTOWN advertisement during the last year-end holiday season
were Mong Kok Station, Admiralty Station, Kowloon Tong Station,
and Shatin Station. Several key objectives we wish to achieve are to
create brand awareness through Hong Kongs MTR stations and to
enhance brand value by advocating True White Coffee pioneered
by Oldtown. The acquisition of Advance City Limited (ACL) in
May 2013 had proven to be earnings accretive with an immediate
contribution to the Groups profitability in FY2014. ACL, a distributor
of OLDTOWN beverage products, manages about 2,800 distribution
network points in Hong Kong and the Guangdong Province.
The Group is able to widen its market reach by leveraging on thirdparty distributors, retailers and intermediary networks where they
will carry and distribute our beverage products in various distribution
points. Our product distribution points are no longer restricted
to conventional marketing networks, such as department stores,
hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores and retail outlets,
located both locally and abroad, but also available under the online
platform or business-to-consumer e-commerce portal in China.
The Group embraces another effective and cost-efficient avenue to
promote its products in overseas market such as the social media
platform. In China, through the real-time micro blogging social
channel of Weibo, we are able to reach out to 500 million netizens
population which come from a diverse background ranging from
professionals, managers, and executives. The Group has developed
its own unique marketing and communication proposition in Weibo
China since October 2013. Weibo would act as a diverse and
dynamic platform for us to communicate and interact with our target
audiences through one of the most popular social media websites in
China today. The cost of customer acquisition and communicating
to the outside world is significantly lower than traditional advertising.
The feedback loop is making us better because of the insights we
are gaining through interactions with our customers.
For the Thailand market, the Group appointed a large and well
established regional distributor in 2013 which has a strong presence
in Thailand modern trade distribution channels, to distribute
OLDTOWN White Coffee products to more than 400 retail outlets. As
a result, our products now can be found in Tops Supermarket and a
few hypermarket chains such as Big C, Tesco and Makro.
Prior to FY2014, the Group had been constrained by its
production capacity, but had since addressed that issue when
production facilities were added in the year under review. The new
19
manufacturing facility located in Tasek Industrial Estate, Ipoh is

already fully operational since mid-2013 and able to increase the
production capacity by approximately 300% as compared to the
output capacity in the year 2012. With this increased production
capacity, the Group is expected to cope with the rising demand for
our products over the next five (5) years.
This fully commissioned and operational state-of-the-art integrated
manufacturing facility, houses the production facility, warehouse,
research and development laboratory, administrative and logistic
processing centre in a single location.
Sustaining Growth Caf Chain Operations and

Manufacturing of Beverages
In a dynamic world, where more and more competitors are striving
to grow their market share to gain a strong position, and to attract
and maintain as many customers as possible; we need to continually
meet the ever-evolving needs of the market.
Under the current competitive environment, an effective brand
strategy is critical in winning customer loyalty and sustaining market
share. Our Company took a bold step in 2013 to introduce a new
brand tag line, Aroma of Good Times. The new tag line has been
well-received and the full impact of the rebranding exercise is
expected to be more pronounced in the near future. Strong brand
equity is a key ingredient in todays extremely competitive food and
beverage industry where consumers want to associate themselves
with a successful brand that fits their lifestyle.
Caf Chain
We shall continue to expand the caf network via our franchise and
licensing programmes locally and internationally, in addition to the
establishment of our fully or partially owned outlets to fuel further
growth in our business.
Besides strengthening our position as one of the largest Asian caf
chain operators and beverages manufacturer that specialises in
coffee-related products, we will also relentlessly focus on innovation
and improvement of our existing caf chain operations in Malaysia,
Singapore, Indonesia and China.
We are making some modifications to our food and beverage items,
as well as in the set-up of our outlets to suit the individual market
consumers tastes profile and local needs. Essentially, we need to
customise our operations to local requirements and expectations,
at the same time establishing a differential advantage and then
sustaining it.
Group Managing
Directors Review
of Operations

Towards this end, we need to put our customers at the centre of all
our decision-making activities. The market can follow new trends in
the future, but in order to succeed, we need to adopt a customeroriented approach. Our primary objective is to be the leading Asian
caf chain operator in each of our target markets by providing each
customer a unique dining experience. Superior customer service is
aimed at building a high degree of customer loyalty.
The Group has evolved from an initial domestic operated caf
chain to become a regional player where we have undergone a
tremendous change by expanding into the other Asian regions over
the years since 2005. We marketed our products to Singapore in
2008, a proximate market that has an almost similar consumer
taste profile to Malaysia, and followed by Indonesia and China
in 2011. Nonetheless, we are actively exploring opportunities in
other countries within the Asian region to be consistent with our
international market expansion plans while strengthening our market
position within each individual existing market that we presently
operate in.
The Group plans to open more outlets in Malaysia in FY2015.
Realising most of the second- and third-tier cities and townships
will present vast opportunity for the Group to reach a wider range of
customers; we are aiming to penetrate into the suburban and rural
markets over the next few years.
New Market - Australia

The appointment of a Master Licensee in Australia in May 2014
marks the Groups first foray outside Asia for the caf chain business
and the Master Licensee targets to open its first outlet, either in
Melbourne or Sydney, within the first half of 2015. The Australian
market is selected owing to the overwhelming demand and
acceptance of Asian cuisine, particularly Malaysian.
According to IBISWorld, the Australian restaurant industry performed
strongly during the 2013-2014 period and contributed AUD11.4
billion to the Australian economy (Note 2). In this respect, we are
fairly excited and optimistic that the Groups recent expansion into
Australian markets would bring promising outcome and contribution
to the Group in the medium to longer term. It is important to note
that pursuant to the agreement with the Master Licensee, our Group
is granted an option to participate directly in the Australia operations
as a shareholder with up to 51% of equity stake after the fourth (4th)
year of operations. Through this strategic option, the Group is poised
to ride on the better business performance of the caf operations in
Australia.

Indonesia Second Wave

The positive development in Indonesia had prompted the Group to
enter into a second Master License Agreement on 22 June 2014
(MLA) with the existing Master Licensee of the Group, PT Oldtown
Indonesia. The execution of the second MLA enables PT Oldtown
Indonesia to set up a network of OLDTOWN caf outlets throughout
the Republic of Indonesia. PT Oldtown Indonesia is currently only
licensed to establish and operate OLDTOWN caf outlets in the
territories of Jawa and Bali.
Pursuant to the MLA, the Master Licensee is also responsible
to establish, build, and operate a distribution centre as well as a
central kitchen within twelve (12) months from the opening of the
fiftieth (50th) outlet to support the larger number of caf outlets
in Indonesia. Further, in order to fast track the development of
OLDTOWN caf outlets in Indonesia, the Master Licensee is also
allowed to appoint Sub-Licensees. Essentially, the second MLA is
in line with the Groups primary objective to entrust upon its Master
Licensee to fully expand OLDTOWN caf outlets in Indonesia, which
is renowned as the largest archipelago in the world as well as the
most populous nation in South East Asia.
China Laying Stronger Foundation for Future Growth

The Groups medium-term plan is to set up a new food processing
centre in Guangdong Province, China to support a larger number
of new caf outlets. However, the establishment of a new food
processing centre has taken longer than expected, owing to a
protracted delay in the conceptualisation and discussions with
various parties to deliver an ideal outcome. In the meantime, our
operations are well supported by a local licensed food processing
centre which supplies several core ingredients to our OLDTOWN caf
outlets in Guangdong Province.
Despite some setbacks faced by the Group in 2013, the Group is still
optimistic about the huge growth potential in our caf chain business
in China in view of the countrys large population base with growing
spending power coupled with the rising number of middle class
households year-on-year. The Group remains steadfast with the plan
to open more licensed outlets in strategic locations within Southern
China to tap into this massive market.
Manufacturing of Beverages
As a successful brand owner, brands and innovations are the focus
of our business model, and our white coffee products are well placed
to meet the needs and aspirations of our consumers across a variety

of categories, price points and channels, allowing us to compete
effectively in our key markets, especially in overseas.
A concerted effort was also implemented to create greater

awareness of the uniqueness of OTWC amongst the target consumer
groups on a regular basis.
In order to stay ahead of our competitors, we have to be sensitive

to the changing needs of todays consumers and continually being
able to delight our consumers with fresh tastes, formats and even
packaging. In this regard, we are well supported by a group of
experienced workforce and an in-house R&D team. This, coupled
with their extensive knowledge of operating in the local marketplace
and global consumption trends, makes it a very formidable
combination through which the growth of our business will continue
to be driven. In addition to our strong brands, distribution and
marketing expertise is just as vital to our successful business model.
The regional distribution reach is complemented by the specialised
expertise we have developed in both the modern and traditional
retail formats, extending from the supermarkets, hypermarkets to
the convenience stores and even to the corner mom-and-pop stores.
This provides us with a reach wider than many of our competitors
and gives us a tremendous competitive edge in distributing our
white coffee products, and when introducing new products into the
marketplace.
Comprehensive Coverage in Existing Markets
Next Engine of Growth

The Group foresees that there are ample rooms to grow its sales
in China in view of the countrys enormous market potential and
growing affluence amongst the urban population. Since 2011, many
major retailers operating within the tier-1 cities along the coastal line
of China have been selling Oldtowns beverage products. In 2013,
the Group managed to expand further into the central region of China
by distributing its beverage products progressively across the tier-2
cities in China.
China emerged as the fastest growing market for Oldtowns
beverage products in FY2014. Through trade exhibitions we
have participated in China, the Group is able to meet, solicit new
business opportunity and to build rapport directly with new business
associates, trade partners and retailers. In essence, we could gauge
the acceptance level of our products in the Chinese market.
The Group will always strive to find ways and means to strengthen
its marketing initiatives and investing greater efforts in key
ASEAN countries where the Group has already established its
presence years ago. Various marketing campaigns, advertising and
promotional activities have been conducted recently to entrench
OLDTOWN White Coffee (OTWC) brand equity in the marketplace.
21
Recently, the Group has appointed new distributors in Indonesia and

Philippines. Both distributors have vast experience in distribution
and marketing of certain renowned Fast Moving Consumer Goods
(FMCG) brands in their respective countries. We expect the
appointment of these new distributors will boost the sales of our
white coffee mix products in both countries in the future. Essentially,
we are aiming to extend our reach into markets with growth potential
such as Indonesia and Philippines.
The Group has adopted various flexible and adaptive strategies by
customising its marketing campaign and product mix when venturing
into the international markets, as we are mindful that each consumer
market possesses unique characteristics and preferences.
Outlook and Prospects

Looking ahead, the major markets we operate in will remain
competitive and challenging. Raw material prices, inflationary
pressures and currency risksspecifically the fluctuations of the
major currencies against the Ringgit Malaysiawill likely have an
impact on our business. Nonetheless, we will pro-actively manage
costs, further strengthen our networks, and develop our segment and
country markets with foresight and flexibility.
Despite achieving another year of impressive financial performance
in FY2014, we believe that our business still has tremendous room
for growth. The Groups strong profitability represents another year of
record performance and reflects the positive business environment
for our two businesses and the successful execution of the Groups
growth strategy. The growth in the past has been powered by the
strength of our white coffee products across the different categories
and regional markets, and going forward this will remain the key
driver of future growth.

Principle 3 Reinforce Independence

3.1 Annual Assessment of Independence
The Board recognises the importance of independence and objectivity
in the decision-making process as advocated in the MCCG 2012. The
Board is committed to ensure that the independent directors are capable
to exercise independent judgment and act in the best interests of the
Company.
In line with Recommendation 3.1 of the MCCG 2012 whereby the
Board is required to develop criteria to assess independence of
directors, the Board has adopted the same criteria used in the definition
of independent directors prescribed by the Main Market Listing
Requirements (MMLR) of Bursa Securities.
The Independent Directors of the Company fulfilled the criteria of
Independence. They act independently of management and are not
involved in any other relationship with the Group that may impair their
independent judgment and decision making.
Each Director has a continuing responsibility to determine whether he
has a potential or actual conflict of interest in relation to any material
transactions. Such a situation may arise from external associations,
interests or personal relationships.
The Director is required to immediately disclose to the Board and to
abstain from participating in discussions, deliberations and decisions of
the Board on the respective matter.
The Board, via Nomination Committee will develop the criteria to
assess independence and formalise the current independence
assessment practice.
3.2 Tenure of Independent Directors

The Board is aware of the recommended tenure of an Independent
Director which should not exceed a cumulative term of nine (9) years
as recommended by MCCG 2012 and that an Independent Director
may continue to serve on the Board if the Independent Director is
re-designated as a Non-Independent Non-Executive Director upon
completion of the nine (9) years.
Corporate
Governance
Statement

3.3 Shareholders Approval for The Appointment As An

Independent Director After Serving Nine (9) Years In
That Capacity
Subject to the assessment of the Nomination Committee and the
shareholders approval, the Board may retain an Independent
Director who has served nine (9) years or more. Presently, there is no
Independent Director of the Company whose tenure has exceeded a
cumulative of nine (9) years.
3.4 Separation of Positions of The Chairman

and Group Managing Director
The role of the Chairman and the Group Managing Director are clearly
distinct for effective balance of power and authority because the
positions are held by two different individuals. The Chairman is primarily
responsible for ensuring Boards effectiveness and conduct. He ensures
that all relevant issues and quality information to facilitate decision
making and effective running of the Groups business are included in the
meeting agenda.
To ensure that the Directors have the time to focus and fulfill their roles
and responsibilities effectively, one of the criterions is they must not hold
directorships at more than five (5) public listed companies as prescribed
in Paragraph 15.06 of MMLR. The Directors are required to submit an
update on their other directorships annually.
During the financial year ended 31 March 2014, the Board met five (5)
times to discuss issues on the Groups financial performance, significant
investments, corporate development, strategy and business plan. The
attendance record of each Director at the Board Meetings is as follows:-

(1/3) of the Board, whichever is the higher, to be independent. The

The Executive Directors take on the primary responsibility of the day-today running of the Groups business as well as implementing the policies
and decisions of the Board.
The Independent Non-Executive Directors act independently of
management and do not participate in any business dealings and are not
involved in any other relationship with the Group that may impair their
independent judgment and decision-making. They provide a broader
view and independent assessment to the Boards decision making
process by acting as an effective check and balance.
Together, with their diverse backgrounds, professional experience and
wide range of skills, the Board can effectively manage and run the
Groups operations.
Principle 4 Foster Commitment

4.1 Time Commitment
The Board meets at least four (4) times a year at quarterly intervals with
additional meetings to be convened where necessary to deal with urgent
and important matters that require attention of the Board.

of the Company, a signed and approved resolution by the majority of

The Board acknowledges its responsibility in maintaining a sound system

of risk management and internal control and affirms its commitment
for reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the system. The system
of risk management and internal control covers financial, operational,
environmental, governance and compliance control matters.
The Board is committed to maintain a strong control structure whereby

internal control is embedded in the business processes for the Group
to pursue its objectives. The key features of the Groups internal control
system are:

occurrence of any material misstatement, fraud or loss.
Managements Responsibility

processes to identify, evaluate, monitor and report on risks identified and
action steps taken to mitigate and/or minimize the risks.
Risk Management Framework

The Board recognizes that a sound risk management framework is
essential to ensure proper management of the risks that may impede the
achievement of the Groups objectives.

Analysis Critical Control Point) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)
certifications. Regular review and periodic audits are conducted internally
as well as by external auditors from accredited certification bodies.
Results of these audits are reported to the Management.

The demanding control procedures and documentation requirements

quality requirement of the Groups products.

consultants carried out audits in accordance with the risk-based internal
audit plan approved by the Audit Committee.

In the opinion of the directors, the results of operations of the Group and of the Company during the financial year have not been substantially affected by
any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature.
Dividends
A final dividend declared in respect of the financial period ended March 31, 2013 under single tier tax system of 3.0 sen per share, amounting to
RM10,889,700 was paid on October 30, 2013.
An interim dividend declared in respect of the current financial year under single tier tax system of 3.0 sen per share, amounting to RM13,589,587 was
paid on April 17, 2014.
The directors proposed a final dividend of 3.0 sen per share, amounting to RM13,589,587 in respect of the current financial year computed based on
the outstanding issued and paid-up capital, excluding treasury shares held by the Company of 611,000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each. This dividend
is subject to approval by the shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company and has not been included as a liability in the
financial statements. Upon approval by the shareholders, the dividend payment will be accounted for in equity as an appropriation of retained earnings
during the financial year ending March 31, 2015.
Reserves and Provisions

There were no material transfers to or from reserves or provisions during the financial year other than those disclosed in the financial statements.
Issue of Shares and Debentures

As approved by the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on January 6, 2014, the issued and paid-up ordinary share capital of the
Company was increased from RM363,000,000 to RM453,597,242 during the financial year by way of a bonus issue of 90,597,242 new ordinary shares
of RM1 each through the capitalisation of RM40,000,000 and RM50,597,242 from share premium and retained earnings respectively on the basis of
one (1) bonus share for every four (4) existing ordinary shares held.
These new shares rank pari passu with the then existing ordinary shares of the Company.

Treasury Shares
During the financial year, the Company repurchased a total of 611,000 units of its own shares from the open market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad for
a total cost of RM1,486,508 and has been deducted from equity. The average price paid for the shares repurchased during the year was RM2.43 per share.
The repurchase transactions were financed by internally generated funds. The shares repurchased are being held as Treasury Shares in accordance with
the requirements of Section 67A of the Companies Act, 1965.
The mandate given by the shareholders will expire at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) and an ordinary resolution will be tabled at the
AGM for shareholders to grant a fresh mandate for another year.
Share Options
No options have been granted by the Company to any parties during the financial year to take up unissued shares of the Company.
No shares have been issued during the financial year by virtue of the exercise of any option to take up unissued shares of the Company. As of the end of
the financial year, there were no unissued shares of the Company under options.
Other Statutory Information

Before the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the statements of financial position of the Group and of the Company were
made out, the directors took reasonable steps:
(a) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of allowance for doubtful debts and had
satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that no allowance for doubtful debts was necessary; and
(b) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their book values in the ordinary course of business had been written down to their
estimated realisable values.
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances:
(a) which would render the amount written off as bad debts in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company inadequate to any substantial
extent or require the making of allowance for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company; or
(b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading; or
(c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or
inappropriate; or
(d) not otherwise dealt with in this report or financial statements which would render any amount stated in the financial statements of the Group and of
the Company misleading.
At the date of this report, there does not exist:
(a) any charge on the assets of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year and secures the liability of any other
person; or
(b) any contingent liability of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year.
No contingent or other liability has become enforceable, or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the
financial year which, in the opinion of the directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and of the Company to meet their obligations
as and when they fall due.
In the opinion of the directors, no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the end of the financial
year and the date of this report which is likely to affect substantially the results of operations of the Group and of the Company for the financial year in
which this report is made other than those disclosed in Note 41 to the financial statements.

TO THE MEMBERS OF OLDTOWN BERHAD

Report on The Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements of Oldtown Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial position of the Group and of the Company as of
March 31, 2014 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 year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out
on page 56 to page 133.
Directors Responsibility for The Financial Statements

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of these financial statements so as to give a true and fair view in accordance with
Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia. The
directors are also responsible for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved
standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected
depend on the auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation of financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entitys 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 that we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as of March 31, 2014 and of
their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial
Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia, we also report that:
(a) in our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by the subsidiaries of which we
have acted as auditors, have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act;
(b) we have considered the accounts and auditors reports of the subsidiaries, of which we have not acted as auditors, which are indicated in Note 17 to
the financial statements;
(c) we are satisfied that the accounts of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the financial statements of the Company are in form and
content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the financial statements of the Group, and we have received satisfactory
information and explanations as required by us for those purposes; and
(d) the auditors reports on the accounts of the subsidiaries did not contain any qualification or any adverse comment made under Section 174 (3) of the Act.

opinion, the supplementary information is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the MIA Guidance and the directive of Bursa Malaysia
Securities Berhad.
Other Matters

Notes to
The Financial
Statements

1. General Information
The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia and is listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
The Company is principally involved in investment holding.
The principal activities of the subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 17.
There have been no significant changes in the nature of the principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries during the financial year.
The registered office of the Company is located at Level 18, The Gardens North Tower, Mid Valley City, Lingkaran Syed Putra, 59200 Kuala Lumpur.
The principal place of business of the Company is located at No. 2, Jalan Portland, Tasek Industrial Estate, 31400 Ipoh, Perak Darul Ridzuan.
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the directors
on July 23, 2014.
2. Basis of Preparation of The Financial Statements

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRSs),
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
2.1 Adoption of New and Revised Mfrss

New and Revised Mfrss Affecting Amounts Reported and/or Disclosures in The Financial Statements
In the current year, the Group and the Company have applied a number of new and revised MFRSs issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board
(MASB) that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after January 1, 2013.
The adoption of new and revised MFRSs has had no material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the financial statements, except as
follows:
MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

The Group and the Company have applied MFRS 13 for the first time in the current year. MFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value
measurements and disclosures about the fair value measurements. The scope of MFRS 13 is broad; the fair value measurement requirements of MFRS
13 apply to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other MFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and
disclosures about fair value measurements, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of MFRS 2 Share-based Payment,
leasing transactions that are within the scope of MFRS 117 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value (e.g.
net realisable value for the purposes of measuring inventories or value in use for impairment assessment purposes).
MFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or
most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under MFRS 13 is an exit price regardless of whether
that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, MFRS 13 includes extensive disclosure requirements.
MFRS 13 requires prospective application from January 1, 2013. In addition, specific transitional provisions were given to entities such that they need not
apply the disclosure requirements set out in the Standard in comparative information provided for periods before the initial application of the Standard.
In accordance with these transitional provisions, the Group and the Company have not made any new disclosures required by MFRS 13 for the 2013
comparative period. Other than the additional disclosures, the application of MFRS 13 has not had any material impact on the amounts recognised in
these financial statements.
Amendments to MFRS 101: Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income

The Group and the Company have applied the amendments to MFRS 101 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income for the first time in the
current year. The amendments introduce new terminology, whose use is not mandatory, for the statement of comprehensive income and income statement.
Under the amendments to MFRS 101, the statement of comprehensive income is renamed as the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income and the income statement is renamed as the statement of profit or loss. The amendments to MFRS 101 retain the option to present profit
or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to MFRS
101 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories in other comprehensive income section: (a) items that will not be
reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax
on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis - the amendments do not change the option to present items of other
comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax. The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the presentation of items of other
comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the changes. Other than the abovementioned presentation changes, the application of the amendments
to MFRS 101 does not result in any impact on profit or loss, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income.

The mandatory effective date of MFRS 9 (IFRS 9 issued by IASB in November 2009 and October 2010 respectively) which was for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2015 has been removed with the issuance of MFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Hedge Accounting and amendments
to MFRS 9, MFRS 7 and MFRS 139. The effective date of MFRS 9 will be decided when IASBs IFRS 9 project is closer to completion. However, each
version of the MFRS 9 is available for early adoption.
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.
MFRS 9 and Amendments Relating to Mandatory Effective Date of MFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures
MFRS 9 (IFRS 9 issued by IASB in November 2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. MFRS 9
(IFRS 9 issued by IASB in October 2010) includes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition.
The amendments to MFRS 9 (IFRS 9 issued by IASB in November 2009 and October 2010 respectively) (MFRS 9) relating to Mandatory Effective Date
of MFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures which became immediately effective on the issuance date of March 1, 2012 amended the mandatory effective
date of MFRS 9 to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015 instead of on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application still permitted as
well as modified the relief from restating prior periods. MFRS 7 which was also amended in tandem with the issuance of the aforementioned amendments
introduces new disclosure requirements that are either permitted or required on the basis of the entitys date of adoption and whether the entity chooses to
restate prior periods.
Key requirements of MFRS 9:
all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are required to be
subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to
collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding
are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are
measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods. In addition, under MFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to
present subsequent changes in the fair value of equity instrument (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend
income generally recognised in profit or loss.
67
Notes to
The Financial
Statements

with regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, MFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in
the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability, is presented in other comprehensive income,
unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liabilitys credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting
mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liabilitys credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.
Previously, under MFRS 139, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss
was presented in profit or loss.
The directors do not anticipate the application of MFRS 9 to have significant impact on amounts reported in respect of the Groups and of the
Companys financial assets and financial liabilities. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of MFRS 9 until a detailed
review has been completed.
3. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared on historical cost basis except for certain non-current assets and financial
instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value
of an asset or a liability, the Group and the Company take into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those
characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these
consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of MFRS 2, leasing
transactions that are within the scope of MFRS 117, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable
value in MFRS 102 or value in use in MFRS 136.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair
value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The principal accounting policies are set out below:
Subsidiaries and Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries.
Control is achieved where the Company:
has power over the investee;
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassessed whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three
elements of control listed above.
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give
it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing
whether or not the Companys voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
the size of the Companys holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;
rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
any additional facts and circumstance that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the
time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders meetings.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary.
Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
68
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total
comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Groups accounting policies.
All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full
on consolidation.
Changes in the Groups ownership interest in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Groups ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control are accounted for as equity transactions. The
carrying amounts of the Groups interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries.
Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised
directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the
fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and
liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary
are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the relevant assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred
to another category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable MFRSs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date
when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint venture.
Business Combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is
measured at fair value which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group
to the former owners of the acquiree and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are
recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
At acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair
value of the acquirers previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired
and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds
the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirers previously held
equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entitys net assets in the event of
liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquirees
identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are
measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another Standard.
Where the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration
arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify
as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are
adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the measurement period (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about
facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on
how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and
its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or liability is remeasured at subsequent
reporting dates in accordance with MFRS 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss
being recognised in profit or loss.
Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Groups previously held equity interests in the acquiree are remeasured to fair value at the
acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from
interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss,
where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports
provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see
above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition
date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date.
The policy described above is applied to all business combinations that take place on or after January 1, 2011.

Notes to
The Financial
Statements

Business Combinations Involving Common Control Entities

A business combination involving entities or businesses under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities or
businesses are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties, both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements items of the combining entities in which the common control combination
occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities first came under the control of the controlling parties.
The cost of investment in the holdings book is recorded at the nominal value of shares acquired. A single uniform set of accounting policies is adopted
by the combined entity. Therefore, the net assets of the combining entities are combined using the existing book values from the controlling parties
perspective. No amount is recognised in respect of goodwill or excess of acquirers interest in the net fair value of acquirees identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling parties
interest.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes the results of each of the combining entities from the earliest date presented or since
the date when the combining entities first came under the common control, where this is a shorter period, regardless of the date of the common control
combination. Expenditure incurred in connection with the restructuring is recognised as an expense in profit or loss.
The effects of all transactions between the combining entities or businesses, whether occurring before or after the combination, are eliminated in
preparing the combined financial statements of the combined entity.
The debit differences arising between the cost of acquisition and the nominal value of share capital of the subsidiaries are reflected within equity as
reserve arising from restructuring.
Associates
An associate is a non-subsidiary in which the Group and the Company hold not less than 20% of the equity voting rights as long-term investment and in
which the Group and the Company is in a position to exercise significant influence in its management.
The investment in associate of the Group for the financial year ended March 31, 2014 is accounted for under the equity method of accounting based
on the audited financial statements of the associated company made up to December 31, 2013 and appropriate adjustments have been made for the
effects of significant transactions between that date and March 31, 2014. Under this method of accounting, the interest in the post-acquisition profits
and reserves of the associate of the Group is included in the consolidated results while dividend received is reflected as a reduction of the investment in
the consolidated statement of financial position.
Unrealised profits and losses arising on transactions between the Group and its associate are eliminated to the extent of the equity interest of the Group
in the associated company except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
Goodwill/Negative Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be
impaired.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Groups cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is
expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the
unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to
reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of
each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
Any excess of the Groups interest in the net fair value of the acquirees identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over costs of acquisition
(previously known as negative goodwill), after reassessed, is recognised immediately to the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
70

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates, trade
discounts and other similar allowances.

Sale of food and beverages are recognised when food and beverages are served, net of service tax.
Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the following conditions are satisfied:
the Group has transferred to the customer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Dividend income
Dividend income from quoted and unquoted investments is recognised when the shareholders right to receive payment has been established (provided
that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably).
Interest income
Interest income is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Interest income is accrued on a time apportion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable, which is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that assets net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Rental income
Rental income is accrued on a time apportion basis, by reference to the agreements entered. Rental income from investment properties is recognised
on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Franchise, advertising and promotion, rights and royalty fees

Franchise, advertising and promotion, rights and royalty fees are recognised on an accrual basis (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits
will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably). Franchise fees are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the
relevant agreement.
Fees for opening of outlets and relocation

Income from opening of outlets and relocation is recognised on a straight-line basis by reference to the terms of the agreements entered.
Income from accounting services, initial training fees and management fees
Income from rendering of accounting services, initial training fees and management fees are recognised as and when services are provided.
Licence fees
Licence fees are recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the length of the licensing contract.
Foreign Currencies
The individual financial statements of each group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates
(its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each group entity are expressed in
Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is the functional currency of the Company, and also the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity (foreign
currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated
in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in
terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
71
Notes to
The Financial
Statements

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:
exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value in respect of which gains and losses are recognised in
other comprehensive income. For such non-monetary items, the exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive
income; and
exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur
(therefore, forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified
from equity to profit or loss on repayment of the monetary items.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the foreign incorporated subsidiaries of the Group are
translated in RM using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in
which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive
income and accumulated in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Groups entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a
subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or loss of significant
influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the accumulated exchange differences in respect of that operation attributable to the
Group are reclassified to profit or loss.
In addition, in relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of
accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals
(i.e. of associates or jointly controlled entities that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the
accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and
liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are
recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.
The closing rate per unit of functional foreign currency used in the translation of the subsidiaries and associate (foreign currency) into Ringgit Malaysia
is as follows:

2014
RM
2013
RM
Singapore Dollar
2.5903
2.4958
Hong Kong Dollar
0.4210
0.3985
Foreign Currency
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a
substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time the assets are substantially
ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the
borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Government Grants
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the
grants will be received.
Government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised
as deferred revenue in the statements of financial position and transferred to the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a
systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Other government grants are recognised as revenue over the periods necessary to match them with the costs for which they are intended to
compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the
purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in the statements of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income in the period in which they become receivable.
72

Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All
other leases are classified as operating leases.
Finance Lease
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present
value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statements of financial position as a finance lease
obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets,
in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group general policy on borrowing costs.
Operating Lease
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more
representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases
are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of
incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the
time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by
employees of the Group and of the Company. Short-term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services
are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences and short-term non-accumulating compensated absences
such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.
Defined contribution plan

The Group and the Company are required by law to make monthly contributions to statutory defined contribution plan for all its eligible employees
based on certain prescribed rates of the employees salaries. The Groups and the Companys contributions to statutory defined contribution plan are
recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions and are disclosed separately. The employees
contributions to statutory defined contribution plan are included in salaries and wages. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group and the
Company have no further payment obligations.
Preliminary Expenses
Preliminary expenses are charged to the statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income in the financial year in which they are incurred.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current Tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in profit or loss because of 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 liability of the Group and
of the Company for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of reporting period.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary 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. 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 those deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.
The tax effects of unutilised reinvestment allowances are only recognised upon actual realisation.
73
Notes to
The Financial
Statements

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 to 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 is
realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of each 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
end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of their assets and liabilities.
For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model,
the carrying amounts of such properties are presumed to be recovered entirely through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted. The presumption
is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the
economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale. The directors of the Group and of the Company reviewed
the Groups and the Companys investment property portfolio and concluded that none of the Groups and of the Companys investment properties are
held under a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment properties over time,
rather than through sale. Therefore, the directors have determined that the sale presumption set out in the amendments to MFRS 112 is not rebutted.
As a result, the Group and the Company have recognised deferred taxes on changes in fair values of investment properties based on the expected tax
rate that would apply on disposal of the investment properties.
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.
Current and Deferred Tax for The Period

Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised outside profit or
loss (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The directors are unable to segregate the cost of the long-term leasehold land, which has a remaining lease period of 77 years, from the cost of longterm leasehold land and buildings. As such, the long-term leasehold land and buildings are amortised based on depreciation rate of 2% per annum. The
directors do not consider the impact on the financial statements to be material.
Freehold land and capital work-in-progress are stated at cost and are not depreciated. Capital work-in-progress comprises contractors payments and
directly attributable costs incurred in preparing these assets for their intended use. Depreciation on assets under construction commences when the
assets are ready for their intended use.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets, less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in
estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Annual depreciation rates used to depreciate property, plant and equipment, over their estimated remaining useful lives are as follows:

Buildings
2%
Apartments, factory and shop-office buildings
2%
Plant, machinery and equipment
5% to 20%
Motor vehicles
10% to 20%

Assets held under hire-purchase arrangements are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when
there is no recoverable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term
and their useful lives.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued
use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference
between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in profit or loss.
74

Property, Plant and Equipment Under Hire-Purchase Arrangements

Assets acquired under hire-purchase arrangements which transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards incident to ownership of the assets are
capitalised under property, plant and equipment. The assets and the corresponding hire-purchase obligations are recorded at their fair values or, if lower,
at the present value of the minimum lease payment of the assets under hire-purchase at the inception of the respective arrangements.
Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total hire-purchase commitments and the fair values of the assets acquired, are charged
to profit or loss over the term of the relevant hire-purchase period so as to give a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the
obligations for each accounting period.
Prepaid Lease Payments

Leasehold land that normally has an indefinite economic life and where title is not expected to pass to the lessee by the end of the lease period is
treated as an operating lease. The payment made on entering into or acquiring a leasehold interest is accounted for as prepaid lease payments at the
end of the reporting period. In the case of a lease of land and buildings, the prepaid lease payments are allocated whenever necessary, between the
land element and building element of the lease at the inception of the lease in proportion to their relative fair value.
Prepaid lease payments on leasehold land are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Leasehold land is amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease terms ranging from 43 to 97 years.
Investment Properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are measured initially at its cost,
including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value. Fair value is arrived by reference to
market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties. Gain or loss arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties is included in
profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Investment properties are derecognised upon disposal or when the investment properties are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic
benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the properties (calculated as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) are included in profit or loss in the period in which the properties are derecognised.
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries, which are eliminated on consolidation, and investment in associate, are stated in the Companys separate financial
statements at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Other investments in quoted unit trusts and unquoted shares are classified as available-for-sale investments.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at either cost or fair value and amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful economic lives, which are
reviewed at the end of each reporting date. The fair value attributable to intangible assets acquired through a business combination is determined by
discounting the expected future cash flows to be generated from that assets at the risks adjusted weighted average cost of capital of the Group. The
residual values of intangible assets are assumed to be Nil.
The estimated useful economic lives of intangible assets are as follows:
Distribution network 15 years
Supplier exclusive right 10 years
The following are the main categories of intangible assets:
Distribution Network
Distribution network relates to relationship established by the subsidiary with the customers.
Supplier Exclusive Right

Supplier exclusive right represents right for sale of goods to a chain of outlets.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, an analysis is performed
to assess whether the carrying amount of the asset is fully recoverable. An impairment loss is provided for if the carrying amount exceeds the
recoverable amount.
75
Notes to
The Financial
Statements

Impairment of Assets excluding Goodwill and Intangible Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group and the Company review the carrying amounts of their assets (other than goodwill, intangible assets,
investment properties, other investments, inventories and financial assets, which are dealt with in their respective policies) to determine if there is any
indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated in order to determine the extent
of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group and the Company estimate
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified,
corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for
which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cashgenerating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its
recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount would not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment
loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined principally on the First-in, First-out method.
Costs of trading merchandise, raw materials, packing materials, food, beverages, consumables, spare parts and goods-in-transit comprise the original
purchase price plus cost incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The costs of finished goods and work-in-progress
comprise the cost of raw materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. Net realisable value represents the estimated
selling price less estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group and the Company have a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that
the Group and the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting
period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to
settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as
an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statements of financial position when the Group and the Company become a party to the
contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established
by the market concerned, such financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade date.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets and financial liabilities classified as fair
value through profit or loss (FVTPL), which are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue
of the financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value
of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of
financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in the profit or loss.
Effective Interest Method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over
the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments (including all fees and points
paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of
the financial asset or financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income and expense is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets or financial liabilities classified as at FVTPL.
76

Financial assets
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets at FVTPL, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale
(AFS) financial assets and loan and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at
the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular
way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or
convention in the marketplace. Financial assets of the Group and of the Company are classified into FVTPL, AFS financial assets and loans and
receivables.
(i) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of
short-term profit-taking; or
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on
a fair value basis, in accordance with the Groups documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is
provided internally on that basis; or
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or
loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the other gains and losses
line item in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(ii) Available-For-Sale (Afs) Financial Assets

AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-tomaturity investments or financial assets at FVTPL. All AFS financial assets are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. Gains and
losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve,
with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary
assets, which are recognised in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss
previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
AFS equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives
that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity investments are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at
the end of the reporting period.
Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Groups and the Companys rights to receive the dividends are
established.
(iii) Loans and Receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and
receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the
effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.
(iv) Impairment of Financial Assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are
considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the
financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
For equity investments classified as AFS, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be
objective evidence of impairment.
77
Notes to
The Financial
Statements

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or
the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed
for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Groups past experience of
collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes
in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the assets carrying amount
and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate.
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 is considered uncollectible, it is written off
against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the
carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in investment revaluation reserve are
reclassified to profit or loss in the period.
Impairment losses of AFS financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to
an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of investments revaluation reserve.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, 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 through profit
or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost
would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
(v) Derecognition of Financial Assets

The Group and the Company derecognise a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it
transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group and the Company
neither transfer nor retain substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group and the
Company recognise their retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group and the Company
retain substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group and the Company continue to recognise the
financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the assets carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received
and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in
profit or loss.
Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments Issued by The Group and The Company
(i) Classification as Debt or Equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement
and the definition of a financial liability and equity instrument.
(ii) Equity Instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and of the Company after deducting all of its
liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group and the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Companys own equity instruments is recognised as treasury shares at the cost of repurchase, and including directly attributable
costs and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Companys
own equity instruments.
78

(iii) Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities of the Group are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other financial liabilities categories while financial liabilities
of the Company are classified into other financial liabilities category.
(iv) Financial Liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of
short-term profit-taking; or
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on
a fair value basis, in accordance with the Groups documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is
provided internally on that basis; or
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or
loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the other gains and losses line item in the
statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 37.
(v) Other Financial Liabilities

Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the
effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant
period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability,
or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
(vi) Derecognition of Financial Liabilities

The Group and the Company derecognise financial liabilities when, and only when, the Groups and the Companys obligations are discharged,
cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid or payable is
recognised in profit or loss.
Derivative Financial Instruments

The Group enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at
the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective
as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
A derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a financial asset; a derivative with a negative fair value is recognised as a financial liability. A
derivative is presented as a non-current asset or a non-current liability if the remaining maturity of the instrument is more than 12 months and it is not
expected to be realised or settled within 12 months. Other derivatives are presented as current assets or current liabilities.
79
Notes to
The Financial
Statements

Segment Information
For management purpose, the Group is organised into operating segments based on their business segment which is independently managed by
the respective segment chief operation officer, responsible for the performance of the respective segments under their charge. The segment chief
operation officer reports directly to the management of the Group who regularly reviews the segment results in order to allocate resources to the
segments and to assess the segments performance.
Statements of Cash Flows

The Group and the Company adopt the indirect method in the preparation of the statements of cash flows.
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition and are readily
convertible to cash with insignificant risks of changes in value.
4. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

(a) Critical Judgement Made in Applying Accounting Policies
In the process of applying the accounting policies of the Group and of the Company, the directors are of the opinion that there are no instances of
application of judgement which are expected to have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
In the application of the accounting policies of the Group and of the Company, which are described in Note 3, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in
which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both
current and future periods.
(b) Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant
risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets in the next financial year are discussed below:
(i) Impairment of Goodwill

The Group tests goodwill for impairment annually in accordance with its accounting policy. More regular reviews are performed if events indicate
that this is necessary.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the
business combination in which the goodwill arose.
Significant judgement is required in the estimation of the present value of future cash flows generated by the cash-generating units, which
involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by assumptions used and judgement made regarding estimates of future cash flows and
discount rates. Key assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount of cash generating unit based on value-in-use calculations are
disclosed in Note 20. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the results of the tests for impairment of goodwill of the Group.
(ii) Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment of the Group and of the Company as of March 31, 2014 are RM105,634,478 (2013:
RM102,396,819) and RM1,885,819 (2013: RM1,930,665) respectively and the carrying amounts of intangible assets of the Group is
RM33,398,124 (2013: RM19,136,699).
For the purpose of the impairment review of the outlets property, plant and equipment, each individual outlet will be considered as a single
cash-generating unit. Each individual outlets discounted cash flow will be compared against the carrying amount of the property, plant and
equipment for each individual outlet.
80

Recoverable amount is measured at the higher of the fair value less cost to sell for that asset and its value-in-use. The value-in-use is the
net present value of the projected future cash flow derived from that asset discounted at an appropriate discount rate. Projected future cash
flows are based on the Groups and the Companys estimates calculated based on historical, sector and industry trends, general market and
economic conditions, changes in technology and other available information. Management of the Group and of the Company have carried out an
impairment review on their property, plant and equipment and concluded that there is no indication of impairment.
The Group tested intangible asset for impairment in accordance with its accounting policy.
(iii) Estimated Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets
The Group and the Company regularly review the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period
based on factors such as business plan and strategies, expected level of usage and future technological developments. Future results of
operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. A reduction in
the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment would increase the recorded depreciation and decrease the value of property, plant
and equipment.
The Group reviews its intangible assets with finite useful lives at the end of each reporting date. The estimated useful economic lives reflect the
managements estimates of the periods that the Group intends to derive future economic benefits from the use of these intangible assets.
(iv) Recoverability of Receivables

The carrying amounts of third-party trade and other receivables of the Group as of March 31, 2014 were RM34,894,994 (2013:
RM39,236,878).
An allowance is established when there is objective evidence that the Group and the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due
according to the original terms of receivables. This is determined based on the ageing profile and collection patterns.
(v) Obsolete Inventories

The Group writes off inventories based on an assessment of the recoverability of the inventories through sales and recycling for alternatives
uses. Write off is applied to inventories where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the costs may not be recoverable.
The identification of obsolete inventories requires use of judgement and estimates.
Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying values of the inventories and inventories
written off/(back) in the period in which such estimate has been changed.
(vi) Valuation of Acquired Intangible Assets

Acquisitions may result in supplier exclusive right and distribution network being recognised. These are valued using discounted cash flow
methods which require the application of certain key judgements and estimates to be made in respect of discount rate and future cash flows.
5. Segment Reporting
The segment reporting is presented on the same basis as information reported to the chief operating decision maker and senior management for the
purposes of allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance. It is focused on the operations of the Group by business segment as
disclosed below.
Business Segment
The Groups operations can be segmented into three (3) business segments as follows:
a) Operation of a chain of cafes;
b) Manufacturing of coffee and other beverages; and
c) Others.
Inter-segment sales are charged at cost plus a percentage of profit mark-up.

Notes to
The Financial
Statements

The Groups and the Companys income tax rate remained at 25% for the years of assessment 2014 and 2013 except for its foreign subsidiaries. Taxation for other jurisdictions are calculated at the rates prevailing in the relevant jurisdictions.
The Malaysian Budget 2014 announced on October 25, 2013 the reduction of corporate income tax rate from 25% to 24% with effect from year of
assessment 2016. The Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) is also revised to 30% for disposal within the first three years, 20% within the fourth year, 15%
within the fifth year and 5% from sixth year onwards, on gains from the disposal of real property effective January 1, 2014. Following these, the applicable tax rate to be used for the measurement of any applicable deferred tax will be the abovementioned expected rate.
The tax (expense)/income for the year/period can be reconciled to profit before tax as follows:

Goodwill acquired in business combination is allocated, at acquisition, to the group of units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the
combination. For impairment testing purpose, goodwill is assigned to the acquired subsidiaries under operation of cafe outlets.
Goodwill arose from the acquisition of five (5) direct and indirect subsidiaries including Old Town Kopitiam Butterworth Sdn. Bhd., Old Town Kopitiam
Kuala Lumpur Sdn. Bhd., Old Town Kopitiam Cheras Sdn. Bhd., Dynasty Kitchen Sdn. Bhd. and Conneczone Sdn. Bhd. because the cost of the
combination included a control premium. In addition, the consideration paid for the combination effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit
of expected synergies, revenue growth, future market development and the assembled workforce of the subsidiaries. These benefits are not recognised
separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.
101
Notes to
The Financial
Statements

The Group also acquired the supplier exclusive rights as part of the acquisition from Emperors Kitchen Sdn. Bhd., Esquire Chef Sdn. Bhd. and Dynasty
Confectionery Sdn. Bhd. and distribution network from Advance City Limited. These intangible assets have been separately recognised from goodwill as
it met the definition of intangible assets as disclosed in Note 21.
None of the goodwill arising on these acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The recoverable amounts of the CGUs were based on value-in-use calculations. The calculations were determined using projected cash flows for a tenyear period by extrapolation using the growth rate based on historical experience, managements assessment of future trends and expectation of market
development in the respective industries.
The key assumptions used in preparation of the projected cash flows are as follows:
Pre-tax discount rates range from 14.0% to 18.0% (2013: 11.0% to 14.0%);
There will be no material changes in the structure and principal activities of the subsidiaries;
Chain of outlets will continue to operate under the franchise licence for 2 terms (5 years each term);
Projected growth rate of food and beverages of 4.0% (2013: 3.0% to 4.0%) per annum;
There will not be any significant changes in the prices and supply of raw materials, wages and other related costs, resulting from industrial dispute,
adverse changes in economic conditions or other abnormal factors, which will adversely affect the operations of the Group; and
The statutory income tax rate for Malaysia will remain at 25% (2013: 25%). There will be no material changes to the present legislation or
regulations, rates and bases of duties, levies and other taxes affecting the Groups activities.
The Group conducted the annual goodwill impairment testing and no impairment loss need to be recognised except for RM1,959,643 which has been
recognised in previous financial period.
The directors believe that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause the
aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the other subsidiaries.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

Risk management is integral to the whole business of the Group and of the Company. Management continually monitors the Groups and the Companys
risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved. Risk management policies and systems are
reviewed regularly to reflect changes in the market conditions and the Groups and the Companys activities.
There have been no changes to the Groups and the Companys exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.
(a) Market Risk

The Groups and the Companys activities expose them primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and
prices of equity.
There have been no changes to the Groups and the Companys exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and
measured.
(i) Foreign Currency Risk Management

The Group is exposed to the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation primarily in relation to the United States Dollar (USD), Singapore
Dollar (SGD), Thai Baht (BAHT), Chinese Renminbi (RMB) and Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) arising from normal trading, investing and financing
activities. Exposure to foreign currency risk is monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group endeavours to keep the net exposure at an acceptable level.
The carrying amounts of the Groups foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting date are
disclosed in Notes 24, 25, 26, 32 and 35.
Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The following table details the Groups sensitivity to a 3% increase and decrease in RM against the relevant foreign currencies. 3% is the sensitivity rate
used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents managements assessment of the reasonable possible
change in foreign exchange rates in next 12 months.
The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a
3% change in foreign currency rates. A positive/(negative) number below indicates an increase/(decrease) in profit net of tax where relevant currencies
strengthen 3% against RM. For a 3% weakening of relevant currencies against RM, there would be a comparable reversed impact on the profit net of tax
and the balances below would be negative.

The above impact are mainly attributable to the exposure on relevant currencies for receivables, bank balances, payables, borrowings and amount owing
by associate of the Group outstanding at the end of the reporting date. In the opinion of the management, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of
the inherent foreign exchange risk as the year end exposure does not reflect the full exposure of the Group during the year.
126

(ii) Interest Rate Risk Management

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Groups financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates. The Groups exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from its borrowings.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
At the end of the reporting date, if interest rates had been 100 (2013: 100) basis points lower/higher, with all other variables held constant, the Groups
profit net of tax would have been RM176,116 (2013: RM214,547) higher/lower arising mainly as a result of lower/higher interest expense on floating
rate borrowings. The assumed movement in basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.
(iii) Equity Price Risk Management

The Group and the Company are exposed to price risks arising from equity investments. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading
purposes.
Equity price sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting date.
If equity prices had been 1% higher/lower, the Groups:
profit for the year would not be affected as the equity investments are classified as available-for-sale and there are no plans for disposal and no
indications of impairment; and
other comprehensive income for the year would increase/decrease by RM665,168 (2013: increase/decrease by RM534,263) as a result of the
changes in fair value of available-for-sale unit trusts.
The Groups sensitivity to equity prices has not changed significantly from the prior period.
If equity prices had been 1% higher/lower, the Companys:
profit for the year would not be affected as the equity investments are classified as available-for-sale and there are no plans for disposal and no
indications of impairment; and
other comprehensive income for the year would increase/decrease by RM254,885 (2013: increase/decrease by RM228,713) as a result of the
changes in fair value of available-for-sale unit trusts.
The Companys sensitivity to equity prices has not changed significantly from the prior period.
(b) Credit Risk Management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group and the Company. The
Group and the Company have adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from
defaults. The exposure of the Group to credit risk arises principally from its receivables and other financial assets while the exposure of the Company
to credit risk arises from its intercompany balances, financial guarantees given to licensed banks for credit facilities granted to subsidiaries and other
financial asset.
Receivables
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is
performed on the financial condition of account receivables.
As the Group does not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from receivables is represented by the carrying amounts in the
statements of financial position.
A significant portion of trade receivables are regular customers of the Group. The Group uses ageing analysis to monitor the credit quality of the trade
receivables.
For other receivables, management does not foresee any credit risk due to the nature of other receivables which comprise mainly advances granted
which are repayable upon demand.
The ageing of trade receivables that are past due and/or impaired is disclosed in Note 24.
127
Notes to
The Financial
Statements

Intercompany Balances
The Company provided unsecured advances to its subsidiaries. There is no fixed repayment terms imposed on intercompany balances as the credit
risk is managed on a group basis by the management of the Company to ensure that risk of losses incurred by the Company due to non-repayment by
subsidiaries, is minimal.
At the end of the reporting date, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amounts in the statements of financial position.
At the end of the financial date, there was no indication that the balances due from subsidiaries are not recoverable.
Financial Guarantee
The Company provides unsecured financial guarantees to licensed banks in respect of credit facilities granted to subsidiaries. The Company monitors on
an ongoing basis the trend of repayments made by the subsidiaries.
The maximum exposure to credit risk amounts to RM20,393,276 (2013: RM25,306,356) representing the outstanding balance of credit facilities of
subsidiaries in which financial guarantees are given as of the end of the reporting date.
At the end of the reporting date, there was no indication that the subsidiaries would default on repayment.
Other Financial Assets
The credit risk on liquid funds are limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
(c) Liquidity and Cash Flow Risks Management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity and cash flow risks management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity and
cash flow risks management framework for the management of the Groups and of the Companys short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity
and cash flow management requirements. The Group and the Company manage liquidity and cash flow risks by maintaining adequate reserves and
banking facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities.
The Group and the Company expect that the cash generated from its operations, its existing credit facilities and the trade terms provided by its
suppliers will be sufficient to meet the Groups and the Companys currently anticipated capital expenditure and working capital needs for at least the
next 12 months.
The Group has credit facilities of approximately RM11,661,000 (2013: RM9,438,000) which are unused at the end of the reporting date. The Group
expects to meet its financial obligations from its operating cash flows and proceeds from maturing financial assets.
The maturity profile for the non-derivative financial assets/liabilities of the Group and of the Company at the end of the reporting date based on the
undiscounted cash flows of the respective financial assets/liabilities representing the earliest date on which the Group and the Company are entitled to
receive/required to pay, is as follows:

130

Fair Values of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Financial Instruments Carried at Amortised Cost
The fair value of long-term financial assets and liabilities are determined by the present value of future cash flows estimated and discounted using the
current interest rates for similar instruments at the end of the reporting date. There is no material difference between the fair values and carrying values
of these assets and liabilities as of the reporting period.
The carrying amounts of short-term financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term
maturity of these financial instruments.
The fair values of investments on unquoted shares are not established as it cannot be measured reliably without incurring excessive cost. Investment in
unquoted shares are measured at cost. The Group intends to hold the unquoted investments on a long-term basis.
The fair values of hire-purchase payables and borrowings are included in Level 2 category of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with MFRS 7
Financial Instruments: Disclosure and have been estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of
hire-purchase and borrowings arrangements and approximate their carrying amounts.
The fair values of other classes of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the respective notes to the financial statements.

2. Ordinary Resolution 8 - Authority to Allot and Issue Shares pursuant to Section 132D of The Companies Act, 1965

The proposed Ordinary Resolution 8 is a renewal of the general mandate for issuance of shares by the Company under Section 132D of the Companies Act, 1965. The

the best interest of the Company. This authority, unless earlier revoked or varied by the Company at a general meeting, will expire at the next AGM of the Company.
The authority to issue shares pursuant to Section 132D of the Companies Act, 1965 will provide flexibility and expediency to the Company for any possible fund raising
activities involving the issuance or placement of shares to facilitate business expansion or strategic merger and acquisition opportunities involving equity deals or part
equity or to fund future investment project(s) or for working capital requirements, which the Directors of the Company consider to be in the best interest of the Company.
The approval is sought to avoid any delay and cost in convening a general meeting to approve such issuance of shares.
