LETTER TO STAKEHOLDERS AND
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
(CONT’D)

DEAR FELLOW STAKEHOLDERS,


FY2018 has been another exciting year for Top Glove, with many positive developments.

It has emerged another record year for us, where once again, we delivered an unmatched
financial performance for our full financial year 2018. While steadily expanding organically,
we also concluded several M&A exercises which unlocked synergistic opportunities for
the Group. These include the acquisition of Aspion Sdn Bhd, which has enabled Top Glove
to emerge the world’s largest surgical glove manufacturer and Duramedical Sdn Bhd,
which saw us further diversifying into healthcare related products. Our condom factory
also commenced operations, enhancing our non-glove product range offerings. In addition,
we levelled up our human capital management platform to align with our future growth
aspirations. In recognition of business excellence and good corporate governance, we also
garnered several awards and were included on some of the most prestigious indices.

The Board of Directors and Management of Top Glove at the 27th Anniversary & Appreciation Dinner in August 2018

A YEAR OF RECORD HIGHS For FY2018, Top Glove once again registered record-
breaking Sales Revenue of RM4.21 billion, surpassing

PRINCIPLE A: BOARD LEADERSHIP AND EFFECTIVENESS

Board’s Responsibilities

Top Glove is led by an experienced Board comprising members who are specialised in the glove manufacturing
and various business sectors supported by a wide range of other professionals in the economics, engineering,
legal and accounting sectors. This wide spectrum of skills and experience provide the strength that is needed to
lead the Company to meet its objectives and enable the Company to rest in the firm control of an accountable
and competent Board.

During our Board strategic planning (offsite) meeting held on 17 January 2018, as part of the Board’s function
to set the strategic direction of the Company, the Board has carved the strategic statements focussing on key
strategic areas as the Group’s strategy plan to support the Group’s long-term value creation and sustainability
businesses. The Board has also identified the key management personnel responsible for each key strategic area
and they have to provide progressive report on its implementation to the Board. The Board will review, monitor
and oversee the implementation of the key strategic areas at its quarterly Board meeting.

The annual budget meeting is held every year for the Board to review and oversee the Group’s budget together
with the strategy plan of each business unit. During the FY2018, a brainstorming session was organised amongst
the Board members and key management personnel to draft the new Vision and Mission Statement of the
Company.

Presently, the Board is supported by four (4) Board Committees namely, Audit Committee (“AC”), Risk Management
Committee (“RMC”), Nomination and Remuneration Committee (“NRC”) and Investment Committee (“IC”) that are
delegated with specific responsibilities to oversee the Group’s affairs, with authority to act on behalf of the Board in

recommendation to the Board during the Board meeting on matters relevant to their roles and responsibilities. The
Board Committees also table the minutes of the Board Committees meetings at the quarterly Board meetings as

All Directors are provided with an agenda of the meeting and board papers which contain the Company’s financial
performance, business outlook, various Board Committees’ reports and disclosures by Directors of their interests
in the shares and their interests in contracts, properties and offices pursuant to Section 219 and Section 221 of
the CA 2016, respectively prior to the Board meeting. The board papers are issued in advance and in a timely
manner to facilitate informed decision making. The Managing Director and Executive Directors would lead the
presentation of board papers and provide comprehensive explanations of business plans, business performance,
potential mergers and acquisitions and other pertinent issues.

Any proposal and recommendation by Management will be deliberated and discussed by the Board before a
decision is made. All matters raised, discussions, deliberations, decisions and conclusions including dissenting
views made at the Board meetings with clear actions to be taken by responsible parties are recorded in the minutes.

The Notices of the Board and Board Committees’ meetings are send within fourteen (14) days prior to the

to the meetings whereas the financial materials would be delivered in average within two (2) days prior to the

Notices on the closed period for trading in Top Glove’s securities are served to Directors, key management
personnel and principal officers who are deemed to have privy to any sensitive information for the applicable

announced within 30 calendar days before the targeted date of announcement of the quarterly financial results

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
OVERVIEW STATEMENT
(CONT’D)

The Directors are also notified of any corporate announcement released to Bursa Securities and the impending
restrictions on dealing with the securities of the Company prior to the announcement of the quarterly financial results.

All Directors and Company Secretaries have been issued with the Code of Conducts for Directors and Secretaries.
The Company Secretaries also act as the Secretaries for all the Board Committees.

Board Composition and Balance

The Board currently comprises twelve (12) members, made up of five (5) Executive Directors including the
Executive Chairman and Managing Director and seven (7) INEDs. The roles and responsibilities of the Executive
Chairman and the Managing Director are distinctive and have been clearly segregated to further enhance and
preserve a balance of authority and accountability to avoid unfettered powers of decision making. The composition
reflects a balance of Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors (including INEDs); ensuring that all Board’s
discussions or decisions have the benefit of predominantly outside views and experiences, and that the INEDs
are free from interests and influences that may conflict with their duties to the Company.

The majority number of INEDs help to ensure effective check and balance of the Board’s function as the INEDs
are often the carers of the minority shareholders in providing constructive feedbacks to the proposals of the
Company.

There are four (4) female Board members, representing 33% of the total Board members. The aforesaid female
Board members provide the Board with gender diversity that bring value to the Board’s deliberations from the
different perspectives and insights of the female Board members.

During the FY2018, Mr. Low Chin Guan was appointed to the Board on 4 April 2018 as Executive Director due to
acquisition of Aspion group of companies. Subsequently, he had been removed from the Board on 10 October
2018 via an Extraordinary General Meeting.

The profile of each of the Board members is as presented on pages 10 to 17 of this Annual Report.

Independence

The Board recognises the significant contribution by INEDs to the Company in bringing independent and objective
judgement to the Board in decision making.

The term “independence” as prescribed under Bursa Securities Main LR states that INEDs should be independent
of management and free from any business or other relationships which could interfere with the exercise of
independent judgement or the ability to act in the best interests of the Company. INED is willing to express his/
her opinion to the Board free of concern about his/her position or the position of any third party. Nevertheless,
none of the INEDs engage in the day-to-day management of the Company, participate in any business dealings
or is involved in any other relationships with the Company (other than in situations permitted by the applicable
regulations).

An annual independency assessment has been carried out by the NRC to ensure the independency of all INEDs.
The assessment is based on the criteria on independence as set out in Bursa Securities Main LR and Practice
Notes of Bursa Securities Main LR, including a self-declaration of any involvement or relation which could interfere
an independent judgement and ability to act in the best interests of the Company. An independent confirmation
is obtained based on the independency assessment before the appointment of INED and INEDs are assessed
annually to re-affirm their independence based on the provisions of Bursa Securities Main LR.

During the FY2018, the Board was satisfied that none of the INEDs had any relationship that could materially
interfere with, or perceived to be materially interfere with their unfettered and independent judgement and ability
to act in the best interests of the Company.

Gender Diversity on Board and Management

The Company takes diversity not only at the Board level but also at the workplace as it is an essential measure
of good governance, critically attributing to a well-functioning organisation and sustainable development of
the Company. Diversity encapsulates not only gender but also age and ethnicity, if well-managed, can drive
performance and strengthen governance.

Despite of the importance of Boardroom diversity, the Board is of the view that the selection criteria of a Director,
based on effective blend of competencies, skills, extensive experience and knowledge in areas identified by the
Board, should remain a priority, not compromising on qualification, experience and capabilities.

A Board Diversity Policy was adopted by the Board in 2014 setting out the principles of Top Glove in
maintaining a diversify Board. A copy of the Board Diversity Policy is made available on the Company’s website:
http://www.topglove.com/corporate-governance/

Currently, the Board has 33% female representation. Aside from achieving the gender diversity aspect, the
Board also aspires to achieve significant benefits by focusing on individual talents, abilities and experiences to
meet the Group’s objectives of being the world’s leading gloves manufacturer; hence, requiring a Board with
broader range of competence, skills and experience.

T
any way interfere with their contributions in terms of skills, experience, professionalism and integrity including
core competencies in exercising their objectivity and independent judgement to discharge their responsibilities

effectiveness of their independence than the number of years served on the Board. The on-going evaluation
also further ensure the effectiveness of the Board as a whole in discharging their duties and responsibilities
despite the duration of service for one (1) INED has exceeded nine (9) years.

Directors’ Training

During the FY2018, the Directors have continued to participate in training programmes to equip themselves
and to effectively discharge their duties as Directors as and when beneficial. The Directors have constantly
kept themselves updated on both local and international affairs and to changes in regulations affecting the
Company through advisories from regulatory bodies, Management and through self-reading.

The Directors are also updated by the Company Secretaries on any change to legal and governance practices
of the Group, and new accounting and auditing standards that may have impact on the Company’s businesses
via email and at every AC and Board meetings.

It is of the Company’s intention that each new Director is given a comprehensive briefing on the Company’s
history, operations, financial control system and plant visit to enable him/her to have first-hand understanding
of the Company’s operations.

Succession Planning

The Board is responsible for reviewing candidates for key positions namely, the Executive Chairman, Managing
Director, Executive and Non-Executive Directors and all Head of Divisions. The succession planning is to ensure
all candidates appointed to senior management positions are of sufficient calibre. The Board had adopted a
Succession Planning Policy in September 2013 ensuring that there are platforms in place to provide for the

Ethical Standards, the Codes and Policy

The Directors’ Code of Conduct (“Directors’ Code”) was adopted by the Board in September 2013. The
Directors’ Code covers the principles of conflict of interests, insider dealings, integrity, law compliance obligation
and others.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
OVERVIEW STATEMENT
(CONT’D)

Directors are expected to conduct themselves with the highest ethical standards and to behave ethically and
professionally at all times to promote and protect reputation and performance of the Company.

As part of the enforcement, Directors are required to submit their declaration adhering and observing to the
provisions in the Directors’ Code annually.

The Directors’ Code is made available on the Company’s website: http://www.topglove.com/corporate-


governance/

Employees’ Code of Conduct and Ethics (“Employees’ Code”) is a manual applicable to employees of Top
Glove and the Group. It guides the employee’s conduct in the workplace, business conduct when dealing with
external parties, key issues such as bribery, conflict of interests, insider trading as well as data integrity and

The Board believes that having a Whistle-Blowing Policy in place strengthens, supports good management and
at the same time demonstrates accountability, good risk management and sound corporate governance practice.
A Whistle-Blowing Policy was adopted by the Board in year 2010 and is made available on the Company’s
website: http://www.topglove.com/whistle-blowing/

The Board aims to provide a platform and to act as a mechanism for parties to channel their complaints or
to provide information on fraud, wrongdoings or non-compliance to any rule or procedure by employees or
Management of the Company. The Whistle-Blowing Policy outlines when, how and to whom a concern may be
properly raised, distinguishes a concern from a personal grievance and allows the whistle-blower the opportunity
to raise a concern outside their management line and in confidence. The identity of the whistle-blower is kept
confidential and protection is accorded to the whistle-blower against any form of reprisal or retribution. Any
concern raised will be investigated by the Top Glove Prevention and Anti-Corruption Committee and Whistle
Blowing Committee and a report and update will be provided to the Board, through the AC.

Whistle-blowers may write to the AC to communicate on any information about fraudulent actions and breaches
of ethics directly and anonymously to whistleblower2acm@topglove.com.my.

competencies in which the Director should bring to the Board. The Board has also implemented a process to be
carried out by the NRC annually for continuous assessment and feedback to the Board on the effectiveness of
the Board as a whole, the Board Committees and the contribution of each individual Director and AC member.
During the deliberation of the performance of a particular Director who is also a member of the NRC, that member

STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT
AND INTERNAL CONTROL

BOARD RESPONSIBILITY

The Board is committed to establish and maintain a sound, effective and efficient system of risk management
and internal control to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the Group’s asset. There is an ongoing review
process undertaken by the Board to ensure adequacy and integrity of the system mentioned.

The system of risk management and internal control is designed to identify and manage the Group’s risk within
the acceptable risk tolerance, rather than to eliminate the risk of failure in achieving the Group’s corporate
objective in accordance with the Group’s strategy. Accordingly, it can only provide reasonable assurance but
not absolute assurance against material misstatement, financial loss or fraud.

RISK MANAGEMENT GOVERNANCE

The Board regards risk management as an integral part of all business operations. Hence, the Board explicitly
assumes the responsibility of identifying principal risks and ensures the implementation of a dynamic system to
manage risk exposure within the acceptable level of tolerance.

To fulfill its oversight responsibility, the Board, as a whole or through delegation to the Risk Management
Committee (“RMC”), reviews the adequacy and integrity of the Group’s risk management system which
encapsulates the key processes of risk identification, assessment, mitigation, monitoring and reporting.

The members of RMC, comprising of three Independent Non-Executive Directors and two Executive Directors,
are as follows:
(1) Dato’ Lim Han Boon ~ Chairman
(2) Tan Sri Rainer Althoff ~ Member
(3) Datuk Dr. Norma Mansor ~ Member
(4) Dato’ Lee Kim Meow ~ Member
(5) Lim Cheong Guan ~ Member

A Risk Working Committee (‘RWC”) has been formed in May 2013 to facilitate the group-wide risk management
initiative from an operational perspective. RWC serves as the driving force behind the routine risk management
activity. Its main function encompasses provision of regular feedback on risk factors’ status for informed
management decision making, execution of appropriate risk mitigation measures and progress monitoring
thereof, and identification of new and emerging risk factors.

RWC is headed by an Executive Director and comprises of heads of business units or support functions, who
are risk owners themselves, as members.

RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

At the Group level, inherent risk factors arising from business operation are continuously identified. These
identified risk factors are incorporated into the risk register and individually rated as Extreme, High, Medium
or Low risk. The rating process is guided by a matrix of possibility of occurrence and the associated impacts,
of which both financial and non-financial consequences are duly considered. Thereafter, owners of these risk
factors will drive the implementation of risk mitigation measures towards achieving a residual risk that is within
the acceptable tolerance.

Progress updates on the mitigation measures will be furnished on a quarterly basis by risk owners for deliberation
at the RWC meeting from an operational perspective. Adequacy and effectiveness of the mitigation measures will
be assessed and further enhanced where necessary. In addition, any identified emerging critical risk factors will
be incorporated into the risk register and managed in accordance to the Group’s risk management methodology.
Outcome of RWC meetings will subsequently be escalated upwards to the RMC for further deliberation in a
strategic manner. Direction of mitigation measures will be fine-tuned as it deems fit to ensure action plans are
on track in addressing the significant risk factors. This approach creates a robust risk management system that
is self-sustaining and will continue to evolve in response to changing business environment.

SIGNIFICANT RISK

As depicted in the Group’s risk management framework, risks are broadly categorized into the aspects of
Business, Information, Production, Credit, Financial, Operational, Information System and Human Resources.
Identified individual risk factors under the broad risk categories have undergone comprehensive reviews in line
with the Group’s risk management methodology.

86 TOP GLOVE CORPORATION BHD ANNUAL REPORT 2018


STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT
AND INTERNAL CONTROL
(CONT’D)

For financial year ended 31 August 2018, the key risks that warrant highlighting are as outlined below:

1. Business
Execution of Merger and Acquisition exercises poses certain associated risks, notably the evaluation
of target company and its subsequent integration with the Group. Various measures such as M&A
procedures, strengthening internal management team’s capability to handle operations after take-over
and engaging external adviser for further advice have been carried out. M&A policies are still in the midst
of being formalized.

2. Production
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Group’s factory production lines can face unplanned downtimes
and thus result in productivity and financial losses. The 3 major risk factors which potentially contribute to
the above are identified as fire outbreak, flooding and water shortage. Ongoing mitigation measures are
implemented and tested by the Group to curb occurrences of these risk factors to prevent interruption to
production or temporary shutdown of factory.

3. Information System
The Group’s business may be vulnerable to security breaches to key systems, assets and facilities resulting
from cyber vandalism or sabotage. Potential disruptions to operational systems or destruction of facilities
from such security breaches can adversely affect the Group’s reputation, business and financial result. To
mitigate the risk, the Group is vigilant on potential cyber threats and has been continuously upgrading and
enhancing the Group’s security system.

4. Financial
As an export-oriented manufacturing entity, the Group’s financial performance is exposed to the risks of
fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates and volatility in commodity prices; particularly the main
raw material in glove manufacturing which are natural rubber latex and nitrile latex. Major movements in
key foreign currency exchange rates, such as US Dollar, and the related commodity prices will create a
short-term impact on the Group’s financial performance due to time lag effect of the cost pass-through
mechanism. The Group is thus constantly monitoring these risk factors and endeavors to achieve an
effective and efficient cost pass-through mechanism to minimize the impact on its financial performance
caused by macro factors.

INTERNAL CONTROL GOVERNANCE

The Management team, led by Executive Chairman, Managing Director and Executive Directors, comprises
experienced personnel who are subject matter experts in their own specialized fields. These individual members
in the Management team are held accountable for the conduct and performance within their assigned business
units/ support functions. Internal control principles are strongly advocated and thus embedded into the various
day-to-day operational policies and procedures of the business units/ support functions concerned. At regular
intervals, these assigned business units/ support functions will conduct management meetings for the business
objectives of, among others, performance assessment, action plan progress monitoring and feedback for
improvement.

To fulfill its oversight responsibility, the Audit Committee (“AC”) is committed to review the adequacy and
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control system. In this respect, the Group’s Internal Audit Department
(”IAD”) has been set up in financial year ended 31 August 2003 to undertake the obligation to provide control
assurance services to the Group.

The External Auditor provides further assurance to the AC in the form of annual statutory audit of the financial
statements. Areas of concern identified during the course of external audit examination will be brought to the
attention of the AC through management letters and discussion at AC Meeting.

INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION

The Group has in place an in-house IAD which provides to the Board, through the AC, independent assessment
and assurance on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s system of internal controls.

TOP GLOVE CORPORATION BHD ANNUAL REPORT 2018 87


STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT
AND INTERNAL CONTROL
(CONT’D)

The scope of work of IAD encompasses the examination and evaluation of the adequacy, existence and
effectiveness of the system of internal control, risk management framework and corporate governance of the
group, which include, inter alia, the following:

• Reviewing the reliability and integrity of financial and operating information and the means used to identify,
measure, classify and report such information;
• Evaluating the system established to ensure compliance with policies, plans, procedures, laws, and
regulations which could have significant impact on operations;
• Examining the means of safeguarding assets and, as appropriate, verifying the existence of such assets;
• Assessing the economy and efficiency with which resources are employed;
• Appraising operations to ascertain whether results are consistent with established objectives and goals
and whether the operations are being carried out as planned;
• Report significant issues related to the business and operational processes for controlling the activities of
the Group together with recommendations for improvements by issuing periodic audit reports summarizing
results of audit activities and follow-up reports on timely basis to AC and management; and
• Assist in the investigation of significant suspected fraudulent activities and notify the AC and Top
Management of the results.

The audit reports are presented and tabled at AC meetings quarterly to preserve its independence and
objectivity. Significant internal audit findings and status update on outstanding management action plan will be
brought to the attention of AC. If deemed necessary, management representative will be required to attend AC
meeting to provide explanation and propose an action plan on the unresolved issues.

REVIEW OF EFFECTIVENESS

The Board is dedicated to operating a sound system of risk management and internal controls, and recognizes
that the system must continuously evolve to support the progressive business growth of the Group.

The process for identifying, evaluating and managing risks as outlined in this Statement has been in place for
the year under review and up to the date of approval of this statement. During the financial year ended 31 August
2018, a number of improvements to internal control gaps has been implemented. There has been no material
adverse impact to the financial performance of the Group as a result of the internal control gaps detected.

The Board, with the assurance received from the Executive Chairman, Managing Director and its Executive
Director, concludes that the Group’s risk management and internal control system is operating adequately and
effectively, in all material aspects.

This statement does not include the state of internal control in associate companies, which has not been
dealt with as part of the Group and is made in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors dated
11 October 2018.

REVIEW OF THE STATEMENTS BY EXTERNAL AUDITORS

The External Auditors have performed limited assurance procedures on this Statement on Risk Management
and Internal Control pursuant to the scope set out in Audit and Assurance Practice Guide (“AAPG”) 3, Guidance
for Auditors on Engagements to Report on the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control included
in the Annual Report issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants for inclusion in the Annual Report of the
Group for the FY2018, and reported to the Board that nothing has come to their attention that causes them to

with the disclosures required by Paragraphs 41 and 42 of the Statement on Risk Management and Internal
Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers , nor is the Statement factually inaccurate.

AAPG 3 does not require the External Auditors to consider whether the Directors’ Statement on Risk Management
and Internal Control covers all risk and controls, or to form an opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the
Group’s risk management and internal control system including the assessment and opinion by the Directors
and Management thereon. The report from External Auditors was made solely for, and directed solely to the
Board of Directors in connection with their compliance with the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Main Market

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF TOP GLOVE CORPORATION BHD.
[INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA]

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion
 
We have audited the financial statements of Top Glove Corporation Bhd., which comprise the statements of
financial position as at 31 August 2018 of the Group and of the Company, and 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 notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies, as set out on pages 106 to 186.
 
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the
Group and of the Company as at 31 August 2018, and of their financial performance and their 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 2016 in Malaysia.

Basis for opinion


 
We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards
on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for
the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
 
Independence and other ethical responsibilities
 
We are independent of the Group and of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics,
Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-Laws”) and the International Ethics
Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”), and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit
of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current year. We have determined that there
are no key audit matters to communicate in our report on the financial statements of the Company. The key audit
matters for the audit of the financial statements of the Group are described below. These matters were addressed
in the context of our audit of the financial statements of the Group as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our
audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

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

Review of costing of inventories


(Refer to Notes 4.15, 7.2(a) and 24 to the financial statements)

At 31 August 2018, the Group held RM508 million of inventories which represent approximately 10% of total
assets of the Group. Total cost of inventory charged to the consolidated income statement for the year ended 31
August 2018 amounted to RM3,368 million, accounted for 91% of total expenditure of the Group. Inventories are
carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories comprises the cost of purchase of
raw materials, direct labour, plus conversion costs such as variable and fixed overhead.

The inventory cost is recorded and computed via the SAP system, after incorporating actual costs from a variety
of inputs. As the computation and cost allocation process involve multiple inputs and management’s judgement,
the costing of inventories is considered complex and hence is a key area of audit focus.

Our audit procedures performed, amongst others are as follows:

a) Obtained an understanding of the current inventories valuation policy and its related processes in allocating,
recording and computing the cost of inventories.

b) Performed walkthrough on the processes and reviewed the computation of standard costing of inventory.
We have also observed the procedures of updating the standard cost into the SAP system.

Review of costing of inventories (Cont’d)

c) Performed walkthrough and tested controls over the recording of cost of purchases, which includes the raw
materials, direct labour, and allocation of overheads, into the SAP system.

d) Assessed the general and logical access controls surrounding the data input process of the SAP system by
involving our IT audit professionals.

Annual impairment test of goodwill arising from the acquisition of Aspion Sdn. Bhd. (“Aspion”)
(Refer to Notes 4.1, 7.2(b) and 23 to the financial statements)

As at 31 August 2018, the Group recorded a provisional goodwill of RM1,258 million arising from the acquisition
of Aspion, which represents 24% of the Group’s total assets. The goodwill amount has been allocated to cash
generating unit (“CGU”) on a provisional basis for impairment testing purposes. The Group estimated the
recoverable amount of the CGU to which the goodwill is allocated based on value-in-use (“VIU”).

Given its magnitude and the significant judgement involved in the annual impairment test, we consider this
impairment test to be an area of audit focus. Specifically, we focus on the evaluation of the assumptions on the
amount and timing of cash flows which are based on internal (e.g. budgets) and external market data (e.g. country
specific interest rates and inflation percentages), and determination of an appropriate discount rate for Aspion.

Our audit procedures performed, amongst others are as follows:

a) Evaluated management’s key assumptions used in the cash flows projection, focusing on projected revenue,
profit margins and growth rates, taking into consideration the current and expected future economic
conditions. We compared the projected revenue to the past trends and compared expected growth rates to
relevant market expectations.

b) Together with EY valuation specialists, we evaluated the discount rate used to determine the present value
of the cash flows and assessed whether the rate used reflect the current market assessment of the time
value of money and the risk specific to the asset is the return that the investors would require if they were
to choose an investment that would generate cash flows of amounts, timing and risk profile equivalent to
those that the entity expects to derive from the asset.

c) Assessed the sensitivity of the cash flows to changes in the key inputs to understand the impact that
reasonable alternative assumptions would have on the overall carrying value.

d) Evaluated the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in the financial statements concerning those key
assumptions to which the outcome of the impairment test is most sensitive.

Information other than the financial statements and auditors’ report thereon

The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company and our auditors’ report thereon.
 
Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover the other information
and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
 
In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, our responsibility is to
read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the financial statements of the Group and of the Company or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.
 
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

TOP GLOVE CORPORATION BHD ANNUAL REPORT 2018 103


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF TOP GLOVE CORPORATION BHD.
[INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA] (CONT’D)

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements

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

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

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
 
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (Cont’d)

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

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia, we report that the subsidiaries of
which we have not acted as auditors, are disclosed in Note 19 to the financial statements.

Other matters

This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of the
Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person
for the content of this report.

STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2018 (CONT’D)

The accompanying accounting policies and explanatory notes form an integral part of the financial statements.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2018

1. Corporate information

Top Glove Corporation Bhd. (“the Company”) is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled
in Malaysia, and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and Singapore Exchange
Securities Trading Limited. The principal place of business of the Company is located at Level 21, Top Glove
Tower, 16, Persiaran Setia Dagang, Setia Alam, Seksyen U13, 40170 Shah Alam, Selangor.

The principal activities of the Company are investment holding and provision of management services. The
principal activities of the subsidiaries are described in Note 19. There have been no significant changes in
the nature of the principal activities during the financial year.

2. Basis of preparation

These financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”) as issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board
(“MASB”), International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.

The financial statements have also been prepared on a historical basis, unless otherwise indicated in the
accounting policies below.

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

During the financial year, the Group has re-assessed the current accounting policies and elected to change
its accounting policy on measurement of the Group’s investment properties from the cost model to the fair
value model. The effect of the change in accounting policies is accounted for retrospectively. Further details
are disclosed in Note 48. Except for this change in accounting policy, the accounting policies and presentation
adopted for this financial report are consistent with those adopted for the audited financial statements for the
financial year ended 31 August 2017.

3. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and of its
subsidiaries as at 31 August 2018 and 2017. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights,
to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through
its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

- Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities
of the investee);

- Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

- The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns


When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers
all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

- The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

- Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

- The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Group re-assesses 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. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the
Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets,
liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in profit
or loss from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) are attributed to the equity
holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-
controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial

3. Basis of consolidation (Cont’d)

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities,
non-controlling interest and other components of equity while any resultant gain or loss is recognised in
profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognised at fair value.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies

4.1 Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition
is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair
value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination,
the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value
or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are
expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic
circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of
embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interests in the acquiree
are re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date with any corresponding gain or loss recognised in
profit or loss.

Any excess of the cost of business combination, as the case may be, over the net amount of the fair
value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognised as goodwill. For business
combinations, provisions are made for the acquiree’s contingent liabilities existing at the date of
acquisition as the Group deems that it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligations.

Any excess in the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed over the cost of business combination is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the
acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument
and within the scope of MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, is measured
at fair value with changes in fair value recognised either in profit or loss or as a change to Other
Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of MFRS 139,
it is measured in accordance with the appropriate MFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified
as equity is not re-measured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred
and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in
excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly
identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used
to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the re-assessment still results in
an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then
the gain is recognised in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the
purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition
date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the
combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those
units.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that
unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying
amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these
circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of
the cash-generating unit retained.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)

4.1 Business combinations and goodwill (Cont’d)

Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for by applying the
pooling on interest method. The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their
carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of the controlling holding company.
Any difference between the consideration paid and the share capital of the entity acquired is reflected
within equity as merger reserve. The statement of comprehensive income reflects the results of the
combining entities for the full year, irrespective of when the combination takes place. Comparatives
are presented as if the entities have always been combined since the date the entities had come under
common control.

4.2 Transactions with non-controlling interests

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

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

4.3 Investment in subsidiaries

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

(i) Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities of the investee);

(ii) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

(iii) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investment in subsidiaries is accounted for at cost
less impairment losses. On disposal of such investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount is included in profit or loss.

4.4 Investment in associates


An associate is an entity, not being a subsidiary or a joint venture, in which the Group has significant
influence. An associate is equity accounted for from the date the Group obtains significant influence
until the date the Group ceases to have significant influence over the associate.

The Group’s investment in associates is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under
the equity method, the investment in associates is measured in the consolidated statement of financial
position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associates.
Goodwill relating to associates is included in the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of
the Group’s share of the net fair value of the associate’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and
is instead included as income in the determination of the Group’s share of the associate’s profit or loss
for the period in which the investment is acquired.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the
Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on
behalf of the associate.

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

4.4 Investment in associates (Cont’d)

The financial statements of the associates are prepared as of the same reporting date as the Group
unless it is impracticable to do so. When the financial statements of associates used in applying
the equity method are prepared as of a different reporting date from that of the Group, adjustments
are made for the effects of significant transactions or events that occur between that date and the
reporting date of the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies
in line with those of the Group.

In the Group’s separate financial statements, investment in associate is stated at cost less impairment
losses. On disposal of such investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount is included in profit or loss.

4.5 Current versus non-current classification

Assets and liabilities in the statements of financial position are presented based on a current/non-
current classification. An asset is current when it is:

- Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle;

- Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

- Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or

- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at
least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

- It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

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

4.6 Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is
based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place
either:

- In the principal market for the asset or liability; or

- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic
best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to
generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)

4.6 Fair value measurement (Cont’d)

Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are
available, are used to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and
minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

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

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

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable

Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the
Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing
categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a
whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Policies and procedures are determined by senior management for both recurring fair value
measurement and for non-recurring measurement.

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets and significant liabilities. Involvement
of external valuers is decided by senior management. Selection criteria include market knowledge,
reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. The senior management
decides, after discussions with the external valuers, which valuation techniques and inputs to use for
each case.

At each reporting date, the senior management analyses the movements in the values of assets and
liabilities which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed according to the accounting policies
of the Group. For this analysis, the senior management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest
valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant
documents.

The senior management, in conjunction with the external valuers, also compares the changes in the
fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the change is
reasonable.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, classes of assets and liabilities are determined based on
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as
explained above.

4.7 Foreign currencies

(a) Functional and presentation currency


The Group’s and the Company’s financial statements are presented in RM which is also the
Company’s functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency
and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional
currency.

(b) Transactions and balances


Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group entities at the functional
currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates at
the reporting date.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)

4.7 Foreign currencies (Cont’d)

(b) Transactions and balances (Cont’d)

Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss
with the exception of monetary items that are designated as part of the hedge of the Group’s net
investment of a foreign operation. These are recognised in foreign exchange reserve OCI until
the net investment is disposed of, at which time, the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or
loss. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are
also recorded in OCI.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items
measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date
when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items
measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on change in fair value
of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in OCI
or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and
liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate of exchange at the reporting
date.

(c) Group companies

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into RM at the rate
of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of comprehensive income are
translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences
arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in OCI. On disposal of a foreign operation,
the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.

4.8 Revenue and other income recognition


Revenue and other income are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits
will flow to the Group and the Company and the revenue and other income can be reliably measured,
regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue and other income are measured at the fair
value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of
payment and excluding taxes or duty. The Group and the Company have concluded that they are the
principals in all of their revenue arrangements since they are the primary obligors in all the revenue
arrangements, have pricing latitude and are also exposed to inventory and credit risks.

The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.

(a) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership
of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods.

(b)
Dividend income

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

(c) Management fees

Management fees are recognised when services are rendered.

(d)
Interest income

For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost and interest bearing financial assets
classified as available-for-sale and at fair value through profit or loss, interest income or expense
is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the
estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument
or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.
Interest income is included in finance income in profit or loss.

4.8 Revenue and other income recognition (Cont’d)

(e) Rental income

Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The aggregate costs
of incentives provided to lessees are recognised as a reduction of rental income over the lease
term on a straight-line basis.

4.9 Employee benefits

(a) Short term 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. Short term accumulating
compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered
by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-
accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences
occur.

(b) Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group and
the Company pay fixed contributions into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or
constructive obligation to pay further contributions if any of the funds do not hold sufficient
assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee services in the current and preceding
financial years. Such contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as incurred.
As required by law, companies in Malaysia make such contributions to the Employees Provident
Fund (“EPF”).

(c) Employee share option plans

Employees of the Group and of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share options
as consideration for services rendered. The cost of these equity-settled transactions with
employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the options at the date on which the
options are granted. This cost is recognised in profit or loss. The cumulative expense recognised
at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has
expired and the Group’s and the Company’s best estimate of the number of options that will
ultimately vest. The charge or credit to profit or loss for a period represents the movement in
cumulative expense recognised at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for options that do not ultimately vest, except for options where
vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition, which are treated as vested
irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all
other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

When the options are exercised, the employee share option reserve is transferred to share capital
if new shares are issued.

The employee share option reserve is transferred to retained earnings upon forfeiture or expiry of
the share options.

(d) Employee share grant plan (“ESGP”)

Employees of the Group and of the Company are entitled to performance based shares as
consideration for services rendered. The ESGP may be settled by way of issuance or transfer of
shares of the Company or by cash at the discretion of the ESGP Committee. Trusts have been
set up and are administered by an appointed trustee (“ESGP Trusts”). The trustee will be entitled
from time to time, to accept advances from the Group and the Company, upon such terms and
conditions as the Group and the Company and the trustee may agree to purchase the ordinary
shares of the Company (“Trust Shares”) from the open market for the ESGP Trusts. The value of
the ESGP Awards granted to Eligible Employees is recognised as an employee cost.

The ESGP Trusts’ asset is consolidated into the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Dividends received by the ESGP Trusts are eliminated against the Company’s dividend payment.

4.10 Taxes

(a) Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount
expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used
to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date
in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.

Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not
in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect
to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes
provisions where appropriate.

(b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting
purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

(i) where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or
liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction,
affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

(ii) in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and
associates, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled
and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of
unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will
be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused
tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

(i) where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination
and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or
loss; and

(ii) in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,
deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary
differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against
which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part
of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each
reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable
profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.

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

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or
loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to
set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same
taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

4.11 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as
part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing
costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

4.12 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing component parts of the property,
plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria
are met.


When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the
Group derecognises the replaced part, and recognises the new part with its own associated useful
life and depreciation. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the
carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All
other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred. The present value
of the expected cost for the decommissioning of the asset after its use is included in the cost of the
respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.

Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Capital work in-progress are
not depreciated as these assets are not available for use. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings 20 to 50 years
Plant and equipment 10 years
Other assets 5 to 10 years

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is
included in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial
year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

4.13 Investment property

Investment property is property which is held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or
for both. Investment property is initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to
initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value which reflects market conditions at the
reporting date. Fair value is arrived at using the investment method that makes reference to estimated
market rental values and equivalent yields. Valuation is performed by accredited independent valuer
having an appropriate recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the location and
category of the properties being valued. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of
investment property is included in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

Subsequent expenditure is included in the investment property’s carrying amount only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of
the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or
loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Investment property is derecognised either when it has been disposed of or when it is permanently
withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the profit or
loss in the period of derecognition.

Transfers are made to (or from) investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer
from investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting
is the carrying amount at the date of change in use. For a transfer from owner-occupied property
to investment property, the property is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy for
property, plant and equipment set out in Note 4.12 up to the date of change in use.

4.14 Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the
arrangement at the inception date, whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of
a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not
explicitly specified in an arrangement.

(a) Group as lessee

Finance leases which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to
ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the fair value
of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease
payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to
achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are
recognised in finance costs in profit or loss.

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

Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the profit or loss on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.

Land use rights are initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, land use rights are
measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. The land
use rights are amortised over their lease terms.

Leasehold lands 50 to 100 years

(b) Group as lessor

Leases in which the Group do not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of
the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating
lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term
on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in
which they are earned.

4.15 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

- Raw materials, packing materials and consumables: purchase costs on a weighted average
basis.

- Former: purchase costs on a first in, first out basis.

- Finished goods and work-in-progress: costs of direct materials and labour and a proportion of
manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity, excluding borrowing costs.

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

4.16 Impairment of non-financial assets


At each reporting date, an assessment is made as to whether there is an indication that an asset may
be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the
asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or
cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount
is determined for an individual asset unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely
independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset
or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its
recoverable amount.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)

4.16 Impairment of non-financial assets (Cont’d)

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are
taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded
companies or other available fair value indicators.

Impairment calculation is based on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared
separately for each CGU to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast
calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is
calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.

Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in


profit or loss in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually at reporting date and when circumstances indicate that
the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount
of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the
CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to
goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

For assets other than goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether
there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased.
If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset or CGU is estimated. A previously
recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to
determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal
is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed
the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss
been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

4.17 Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial
liability or equity instrument of another entity.

4.18 Financial assets

(a) Initial recognition and measurement


Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets,
or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All
financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded
at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the
financial asset.

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established
by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade
date, i.e., the date that the Group and the Company commit to purchase or sell the asset.

The Group’s and the Company’s financial assets include cash and bank balances, trade and
other receivables, investments in debt securities and money market funds.

(b)
Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss includes financial assets held for trading
and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose
of selling or repurchasing in the near term. This category includes derivative financial
instruments entered into by the Group and the Company that are not designated as
hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by MFRS 139. Derivatives, including
separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are
designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value
recognised in finance income or finance costs in the profit or loss.

Derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and
recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to
those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated
at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value
with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Re-assessment only occurs if there
is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that
would otherwise be required or a reclassification of a financial asset out of the fair value
through profit or loss.

The Group and the Company have designated derivatives that do not qualify for hedge
accounting and money market funds as at fair value through profit or loss.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such financial
assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
method (“EIR”), less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any
discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.
The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising
from impairment are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs for loans and in cost of
sales or other operating expenses for receivables. The category generally applies to trade
and other receivables.

Loans and receivables of the Group and Company comprise trade and other receivables
(other than prepaid operating expenses and tax recoverable), amount due from related
companies and cash and bank balances.

(iii)
Held-to-maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities
are classified as held to maturity when the Group and the Company have the positive
intention and an ability to hold them to maturity. After initial measurement, held to maturity
investments are measured at amortised cost using the EIR, less impairment. Amortised
cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees
or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance
income in profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in profit or loss
as finance costs.

The Group and the Company did not have any held-to-maturity investments during the
financial years ended 31 August 2018 and 2017.

4.18 Financial assets (Cont’d)

(b) Subsequent measurement (Cont’d)

(iv) Available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets

AFS financial assets include equity investments and debt securities. Equity investments
classified as AFS are those that are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at
fair value through profit or loss. Debt securities in this category are those that are intended
to be held for an indefinite period of time and that may be sold in response to needs for
liquidity or in response to changes in the market conditions.

After initial measurement, AFS financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value
with unrealised gains or losses recognised in OCI and credited in the fair value adjustment
reserve until the investment is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is
recognised in other operating income, or the investment is determined to be impaired,
when the cumulative loss is reclassified from the fair value adjustment reserve to profit
or loss in finance costs. Interest earned whilst holding AFS financial assets is reported as
interest income using the EIR method.

The Group and the Company evaluates whether the ability and intention to sell their AFS
financial assets in the near term is still appropriate. When, in rare circumstances, the Group
and the Company are unable to trade these financial assets due to inactive markets, the
Group and the Company may elect to reclassify these financial assets if the management
has the ability and intention to hold the assets for foreseeable future or until maturity.

For a financial asset reclassified from the AFS category, the fair value carrying amount at the
date of reclassification becomes its new amortised cost and any previous gain or loss on
the asset that has been recognised in equity is amortised to profit or loss over the remaining
life of the investment using the EIR. Any difference between the new amortised cost and
the maturity amount is also amortised over the remaining life of the asset using the EIR. If
the asset is subsequently determined to be impaired, then the amount recorded in equity is
reclassified to profit or loss.

All quoted debt securities of the Group are designated as AFS financial assets.

(c) Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar
financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the statements of financial position)
when:

- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

- The Group and the Company have transferred their rights to receive cash flows from the
asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material
delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Group and the
Company have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the
Group and the Company have neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and
rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group and the Company have transferred their rights to receive cash flows from
an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, they evaluate if and to what extent
they have retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When they have neither transferred
nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control
of the asset, the Group and the Company continue to recognise an associated liability. The
transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights
and obligations that the Group and the Company have retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is
measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum
amount of consideration that the Group and the Company could be required to repay.

4.18 Financial assets (Cont’d)

(d) Impairment of financial assets


The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence
that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one or more
events that has occurred since the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’), has an
impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that
can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtor or a group
of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal
payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and where
observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such
as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group and the Company first assess whether
objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually
significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group
and the Company determine that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually
assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial
assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment.
Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or
continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
The amount of any impairment loss identified is measured as the difference between the asset’s
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected
credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash
flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the
loss is recognised in profit or loss. Interest income (recorded as finance income in profit or loss)
continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest
used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Loans
together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of
future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to the Group and the
Company. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or
decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously
recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a
write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to finance costs in profit or loss.

Available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets

For AFS financial assets, an assessment is made at each reporting date whether there is objective
evidence that an assets or a group of assets is impaired.
In the case of investments classified as AFS, objective evidence would include a significant or
prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost. ‘Significant’ is evaluated
against the original cost of the investment and ‘prolonged’ against the period in which the fair
value has been below its original cost. When there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative
loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less
any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in profit or loss) is removed from
other comprehensive income and recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Impairment losses
on equity investments are not reversed through profit or loss; increases in their fair value after
impairment are recognised in other comprehensive income.
In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS, the impairment is assessed based on the same
criteria as financial assets carried at amortised cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment
is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortised cost and the current fair
value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in profit or loss.
Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of
the asset, using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of
measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of finance income. If, in a
subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively
related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the
impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

4.19 Financial liabilities

(a) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss, loans and borrowings, financial guarantee contracts, payables, or as derivatives as
appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings
and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group’s and the Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and
borrowings, financial guarantee contracts and derivative liabilities.

(b) Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

(i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

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

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of
selling in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into
by the Group and the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge
relationships as defined by MFRS 139. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified
as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.

The Group and the Company have designated derivatives that do not qualify for hedge
accounting as at fair value through profit or loss.

(ii) Other financial liabilities

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

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable
transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.

Loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred,
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised
as well as through the effective interest rate method (EIR) amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition
and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in
finance costs in profit or loss.

(c) Financial guarantee contracts

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

4.19 Financial liabilities (Cont’d)

(d)
Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or
cancelled, or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same
lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified,
such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the
recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in
profit or loss.

(e) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated
and separate statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset
the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets
and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

4.20 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities


Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are
subsequently re-measured at their fair value.

The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated
as a hedging instrument, and the nature of the item being hedged. Derivatives that do not qualify
for hedge accounting are classified as held for trading and accounted for in accordance with the
accounting policy set out in Note 4.18. The Group and the Company designate certain derivatives as
hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast
transaction (cash flow hedge).

The Group and Company document at the inception of the transaction the relationship between
hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for
undertaking various hedging transactions. The Group and Company also document their assessment,
both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging
transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in OCI in the cash flow
hedge reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss.

Amounts recognised as OCI are transferred to profit or loss when the hedged transaction affects
profit or loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognised or when
a forecast sale occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or non-financial
liability, the amounts recognised as OCI are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-
financial asset or liability.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge
accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised
when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is
no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately
transferred to the profit or loss within ‘other gains/ (losses)’ and ‘foreign exchange gains/(losses)’.

4.21 Cash and bank balances

Cash and bank balances in the statements of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand
and short-term deposits.

For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-
term deposits with a maturity of three months or less excluding deposits pledged with banks that are
not available for use.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)

4.22 Share capital and share issue expenses

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company
after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments and are recorded at the
proceeds received, net of directly attributable incremental transaction costs. Ordinary shares are
classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they
are declared.

4.23 Cash dividend and non-cash distribution to equity holders of the Company

The Company recognises a liability to make cash or non-cash distributions to equity holders of the
parent when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the
Company. A distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders and a corresponding
amount is recognised directly in equity.

Non-cash distributions are measured at the fair value of the assets to be distributed with fair value re-
measurement recognised directly in equity.

Upon distribution of non-cash assets, any difference between the carrying amount of the liability and
the carrying amount of the assets distributed is recognised in profit or loss.

4.24 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of
a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When it is expected that some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance
contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is
virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the income statements net of any
reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax
rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

4.25 Government grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the
grant will be received and all conditions attached will be met. Government grants related to assets,
measured at nominal value, shall be presented in the statement of financial position either by setting up
the grant as deferred income or by deducting the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset.
Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as income over the periods
necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.
Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are presented by deducting the grants in
arriving at the carrying amount of the assets.

4.26 Contingencies

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

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

4.27 Segment reporting

For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments based on their geographical
location which are independently managed by the respective segment managers responsible for the
performance of the respective segments under their charge. The segment managers report directly to
the management of the Group who regularly review the segment results in order to allocate resources
to the segments and to assess the segment performance. Additional disclosures on each of these
segments are shown in Note 43, including the factors used to identify the reportable segments and the
measurement basis of segment information.

The nature and the impact of each amendment is described below:

Amendments to MFRS 107: Disclosures Initiatives


The amendments to MFRS 107 Statement of Cash Flows requires an entity to provide disclosures that enable
users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including
both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. On initial application of these amendments,
entities are not required to provide comparative information for preceding periods. Apart from the additional
disclosures set out in the consolidated statement of cash flows, the application of these amendments has
had no impact on the Group and on the Company.

Amendments to MFRS 112: Recognition of Deferred Tax for Unrealised Losses


The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable
profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference.
Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits
and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more
than their carrying amount.

The application of these amendments has had no impact on the Group and on the Company as the Group
and the Company already assess the sufficiency of future taxable profits in a way that is consistent with
these amendments.

Amendments to MFRS 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (Annual Improvement to MFRS
2014-2016 Cycle)

The amendments clarify that an entity need not provide summarised financial information for interests in
subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures that are classified (or included in a disposal group that is classified)
as held for sale. The application of these amendments has had no effect on the Group as none of the Group’s
interest in these entities are classified, or included in a disposal group that is classified, as held for sale.

The directors expect that the adoption of the above standards and interpretations will have no material

MFRS 9 Financial Instruments


MFRS 9 introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting.
MFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted.
Retrospective application is required, but comparative information is not compulsory. During the financial
year ended 31 August 2018, the Group and the Company performed a detailed impact assessment of all
three aspects of MFRS 9. The assessment is based on present available information and may be subject to
changes arising from further reasonable and supportable information being made available to the Group and
the Company in the financial year ending 31 August 2019 when the Group and the Company adopt MFRS 9.

Based on the analysis of the Group’s and of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as at 31 August
2018 on the basis of facts and circumstances that exist at that date, the directors of the Company have
assessed the impact of MFRS 9 to the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements as follows:

(a) Classification and measurement

The Group and the Company do not expect a significant impact on its statements of financial position
or equity on applying the classification and measurement requirements of MFRS 9. They expect to
continue measuring at fair value all financial assets currently held at fair value.

Debt securities currently held as available-for-sale with gains and losses recorded in OCI will satisfy
the conditions for classification as fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). Fair
value changes on debt securities at FVOCI are presented in OCI and are not subsequently transferred
to profit or loss. Upon sale of debt securities at FVOCI, the cumulative gain or loss in OCI is reclassified
to retained earnings. Money market funds currently measured at FVTPL which will continue to be
measured on the same basis under MFRS 9. Debt instruments currently measured at amortised cost
which meet the conditions for classification as amortised cost under MFRS 9.

There will be no impact on the Group’s and the Company’s accounting for financial liabilities, as the
new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at FVTPL and
modified financial liabilities, and the Group and the Company do not have any such financial liabilities.

MFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Cont’d)

(b) Impairment

MFRS 9 requires the Group and the Company to record expected credit losses on all of its debt
securities, loans and trade receivables, either on a 12-month or lifetime basis. The Group and the
Company will apply the simplified approach and record lifetime expected losses on all trade receivables.
Based on readily available information as at date of this report, the Group and the Company do not
expect significant increase in allowance for doubtful debts.

(c) Hedging

The Group determined that all existing hedge relationships that are currently designated in effective
hedging relationships will continue to qualify for hedge accounting under MFRS 9. The Group has
chosen not to retrospectively apply MFRS 9 on transition to the hedges where the Group excluded the
forward points from the hedge designation under MFRS 139. As MFRS 9 does not change the general
principles of how an entity accounts for effective hedges, applying the hedging requirements of MFRS
9 will not have a significant impact on Group’s financial statements.

MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

MFRS 15 establishes a new five-step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts with customers.
MFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including MFRS 118 Revenue, MFRS 111
Construction Contracts and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.

The core principle of MFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue which depict the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Under MFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, such as
when “control” of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to
the customer.

Either a full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2018 with early adoption permitted.

The directors do not expect the application of MFRS 15 to have a significant impact on the financial
statements of the Group and of the Company.

MFRS 16 Leases


MFRS 16 will replace MFRS 117 Leases, IC Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a
Lease, IC Interpretation 115 Operating Lease-Incentives and IC Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance
of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. MFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a
single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under MFRS 117.

At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments and an
asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. Lessees will be required to
recognise interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.

Lessor accounting under MFRS 16 is substantially the same as the accounting under MFRS 117. Lessors
will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in MFRS 117 and distinguish
between two types of leases: operating and finance leases.

MFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early application is permitted
but not before an entity applies MFRS 15. A lessee can choose to apply the standard using either a full
retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Group and the Company plan to assess the potential
effect of MFRS 16 on their financial statements in the next financial year.

7. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the
disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these
assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying
amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

7.1 Judgements made in applying accounting policies


In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has not made any critical
judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which could have a significant effect on the
amounts recognised in the financial statements except as discussed below:

Classification between investment property and property, plant and equipment

The Group has developed certain criteria based on MFRS 140 in making judgement whether a property
qualifies as an investment property. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital
appreciation or both.

Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another
portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative
purposes. If these portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease),
the Group would account for the portions separately. If the portions could not be sold separately,
the property is an investment property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production
or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Judgement is made on an individual
property basis to determine whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not
qualify as investment property. The Group has determined that its property held to earn rental income
or capital appreciation is investment property as only an insignificant portion of the property is used in
the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes and ancillary services are
not significant to the property.

7.2 Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its
assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared.
Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to
market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected
in the assumptions when they occur.

(a) Inventories

In determining the costing of inventories, management’s judgement is required in determining the
basis of finished goods and work-in-progress valuation which comprise costs of raw materials,
direct labour, other direct costs, and the appropriate allocation of overheads based on normal
operating capacity.

(b) Impairment of goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and at other times when such indicators exist. This
requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill is
allocated.

When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate future cash flows
from the cash-generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the
present values of those cash flows. Further details of the carrying value, the key assumptions
applied in the impairment assessment and sensitivity analysis to changes in the assumptions are
disclosed in Note 23.

The fair value of the investment property was based on a valuation by an accredited independent qualified
valuer. Valuation was based on current prices in an active market for certain properties and where appropriate,
the investment method reflecting receipt of contractual rentals, expected future market rentals, current
market yields, void periods, maintenance requirements and approximate capitalisation rates were used.

The following table shows the valuation technique used in the determination of fair value within Level 3, as
well as the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation model.

Valuation Significant unobservable Range


technique inputs 2018 2017

Land and building Investment Estimated rental value per RM3.70 to RM5.00 to
Method   square feet per month RM5.20 RM6.00
  Term yield rate 6.5% 6.5%
  Occupancy rate 85.0% 49.0%
  Long term vacancy rate 10.0% 15.0%
  Reversionary yield rate 7.0% 7.0%


Using the discounted cash flows method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the benefits
and liabilities of ownership over the asset’s life including an exit or terminal value. This method involves the
projection of a series of cash flows on a real property interest. To this projected cash flow series, a market-
derived discount rate is applied to establish the present value of the income stream associated with the
asset. The exit yield is normally separately determined and differs from the discount rate.

The duration of the cash flows and the specific timing of inflows and outflows are determined by events
such as rent reviews, lease renewal and related re-letting, redevelopment, or refurbishment. The appropriate
duration is typically driven by market behaviour that is a characteristic of the class of real property. Periodic
cash flow is typically estimated as gross income less vacancy, non-recoverable expenses, collection losses,
lease incentives, maintenance cost, agent and commission costs and other operating and management
expenses. The series of periodic net operating income, along with an estimate of the terminal value
anticipated at the end of the projection period, is then discounted.

Significant increase(decrease) in estimated rental value in isolation would result in a significantly higher/
(lower) fair value of the property. Significant increases/(decreases) in the long term vacancy rate and yield
rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower/(higher) fair value.

Generally, a change in the assumption made for the estimated rental value is accompanied by a directionally
similar change in the rent growth per annum and discount rate (and exit yield), and an opposite change in
the long term vacancy rate.

As at 31 August 2018/2017 1,304,496 22,805

Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations

The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations using cash flow projections
based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five years period.

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

(i) Growth rate for the 5 years projection is determined based on the management’s estimate on the industry
trends and past performances of the segments, thereafter terminal growth rate is assumed to be nil.

(ii) A pre-tax discount rate of 7.41% (2017: 9%) was applied in determining the recoverable amount of the
unit. The discount rate was estimated based on a weighted average cost of capital of the Company.

The Group is of the opinion that any reasonably possible change in the above key assumptions would not
materially cause the recoverable amount of the CGU’s to be lower than its carrying amount, other than the
provisional goodwill of Aspion as disclosed below.

Sensitivity to changes in key assumptions

The sensitivity test indicated that changes in the discount rate used in the value-in-use calculation of Aspion
Sdn. Bhd. will result in the recoverable amount to equal to the corresponding carrying amounts of the provisional
goodwill and related assets, assuming no change in other variables, is as follows:

Increase in discount rate 0.6%

* The new Companies Act 2016 (“the Act”), which came into operation on 31 January 2017, abolished the
concepts of authorised share capital and par value of share capital. Consequently, the amounts standing
to the credit of the share premium account of RM6,110,000 become part of the Company’s share capital
pursuant to the transitional provisions set out in Section 618(2) of the Act. Notwithstanding this provision,
the Company may within 24 months from the commencement of the Act, use the amount standing to the
credit of its share premium account of RM6,110,000 for purposes as set out in Section 618(3). There is no
impact on the number of ordinary shares in issue or the relative entitlement of any of the members as a
result of this transition.

bonus issue of 1,280,229,124 new ordinary shares on the basis of 1 bonus share for every 1 existing ordinary
share. The bonus issue was completed on 29 October 2018.

The holders of ordinary shares (except treasury shares) are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared

subsequent sale or issuance.

The shareholders of the Company, by an ordinary resolution passed in an annual general meeting held on 5
January 2017, renewed their approval for the Company’s plan to repurchase its own shares. The directors
of the Company are committed in enhancing the value of the Company to its shareholders and believe that
the Share Buy Back can be applied in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

During the financial year, the Company transferred 93,700 treasury shares to eligible employees under
employee share grant scheme at average market price of RM10.40 per share. The total transferred treasury
shares net of transaction costs were RM975,000. The difference between the transferred treasury shares
and the cost of the treasury shares amounted to RM561,000 was recognised in equity.

Of the total 1,280,229,000 issued and fully paid ordinary shares as at 31 August 2018, 2,071,000 are held as
treasury shares by the Company. As at 31 August 2018, the number of outstanding ordinary shares in issue
and fully paid is therefore 1,278,158,000 ordinary shares.

(i) Employee share options scheme (“ESOS”) (Cont’d)

Fair value of share options

The fair value of share options granted during the year were estimated by using a binomial option
pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.
The fair value of share options granted on 2 August 2018 was estimated on the grant date using the
following assumptions:

Fair value of share options (RM) 0.61


Weighted average share price (RM) 10.18
Weighted average exercise price (RM) 10.12
Expected volatility (%) 34.43
Expected life (years) 9.84
Risk free interest rate (%) 4.07
Expected dividend yield (%) 1.47

The expected life of the share options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of
exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical
volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

(ii) Employee share grant plan (“ESGP”)

The Company’s ESGP is governed by the By-Laws which was approved by the shareholders at the
Extraordinary General Meeting held on 6 January 2016 and became effective on 12 January 2016 and
is administered by the ESGP Committee.

Under the ESGP, Eligible Employees may be granted ESGP Awards comprising shares of the Company.
The ESGP Awards, once accepted, will vest without any consideration payable, subject to vesting
date(s) and/or vesting conditions as may be determined at the discretion of the ESGP Committee. The
ESGP Committee may, at its discretion, decide that any vesting of the Company’s shares comprised
in an ESGP Awards shall be satisfied through:

(a) the issuance of new shares of the Company


(b) the transfer of existing shares of the Company
(c) settlement in cash; or
(d) a combination of any of the above

The main features of the ESGP are as follows:

(a) The aggregate number of shares of the Company which may be awarded under the ESGP and
any other schemes involving issuance of new shares of the Company to employees which are still
subsisting shall not exceed 10% of the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company (“Plan
Size”).

(b) Eligible persons are any employee or executive director of the Group (excluding dormant
subsidiaries) who fulfills the eligibility criteria. The eligibility for participation in the ESGP shall be
at the discretion of the ESGP Committee appointed by the Board of Directors.

(c) The number of shares comprised in each ESGP Award shall be determined at the discretion of
the ESGP Committee after taking into consideration, inter alia, the performance and seniority,
years of service and potential for future development of the Eligible Employee and the employee’s
contribution to the Group as well as such other criteria as the ESGP Committee may deem
relevant.

(d) The aggregate number of shares that may be allocated to any one participant shall not exceed
10% of the total number of shares to be awarded under the ESGP and any other schemes
involving issuance of new shares of the Company which may be implemented from time to time
by the Company.

(e) The aggregate maximum allocation to the directors and senior management of the Group
(excluding dormant subsidiaries) shall not be more than 75% of the Company’s shares awarded
under the ESGP.

40. Fair values

(i) Determination of fair value of financial instruments


Financial instruments that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying amounts are reasonable
approximation of fair value
The following are classes of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying
amounts are reasonable approximation of fair value:
Note
Trade and other receivables 25
Loans and borrowings (current) 29
Loans and borrowings (non-current) 29
Trade and other payables 30
The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair
values, either due to their short-term nature or that they are floating rate instruments that are re-priced
to market interest rates on or near the reporting date.
The fair values of loans and borrowings are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows at
market incremental lending rate for similar types of lending, borrowing or leasing arrangements at the
reporting date.
Investment securities (current)
Fair value is determined directly by reference to their published market bid price at the reporting date.
Derivatives
Forward currency contracts are valued using a valuation technique with market observable inputs. The
most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing, using present value calculations.
The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange
spot and forward rates.
Investment property
The fair value of the investment property was based on a valuation by an accredited independent
qualified value as disclosed in Note 18.

41. Financial risk management objectives and policies

Financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, derivative liabilities and
financial guarantee contracts. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s and
the Company’s operations and to provide guarantees to support their operations. Financial assets include
trade and other receivables, debt securities, derivative assets, money market funds investments and cash
and short-term deposits.

The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s senior management oversees the
management of these risks and ensures that the Group’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate
policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with
the Group’s policies and risk objectives. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried
out by senior management who have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Group’s
policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board of Directors
reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:

176 TOP GLOVE CORPORATION BHD ANNUAL REPORT 2018


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2018 (CONT’D)

41. Financial risk management objectives and policies (Cont’d)



(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprise interest rate risk, foreign exchange
currency risk and other price risk such as equity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market
risk include loans and borrowings, cash and short term deposits, debt securities, money market funds
investments and derivative financial instruments.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counterparty
default on its obligations. The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from
trade and other receivables. For other financial assets (including debt securities, money market funds
investments, cash and bank balances and derivatives), the Group and the Company minimise credit
risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties.

The Group’s objective is to seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to
increased credit risk exposure. The Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties.
It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit
verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the
result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

Exposure to credit risk

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

Credit risk concentration profile

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk that may arise from exposure to a single
debtor or to groups of debtors.

Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired

Information regarding trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired is disclosed
in Note 25(a). Deposits with banks and other financial institutions, debt securities and derivatives that
are neither past due nor impaired are placed with or entered into with reputable financial institutions or
companies with high credit ratings and no history of default.

Financial assets that are either past due or impaired

Information regarding financial assets that are either past due or impaired is disclosed in Note 25(a).

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial
obligations due to shortage of funds. The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises
primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Group’s and the
Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the
use of stand-by credit facilities.

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s and the Company’s liabilities at the
reporting date based on contractual undiscounted repayment obligations.

41. Financial risk management objectives and policies (Cont’d)

(d) Interest rate risk

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

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from its loans and borrowings. The Group
manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining a mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings. The
Group actively reviews its debt portfolio, taking into account the investment holding period and nature
of its assets. This strategy allows it to capitalise on cheaper funding in a low interest rate environment
and achieve a certain level of protection against rate hikes.

Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk

At the reporting date, if interest rates had been 10 basis points lower/higher, with all other variables
held constant, the Group’s profit before tax would have been RM2,196,000 (2017: RM375,000) higher/
lower, arising mainly as a result of lower/higher interest expense on floating rate loans and borrowings.
The assumed movement in basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently
observable market environment.

(e) Market price risk

The Group’s quoted investment securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties
about future values of the investment securities. The Group manages the market price risk through
diversification and by placing limits on individual and total investment in investment securities. Reports
on the investment portfolio are submitted to the Group’s senior management on a regular basis. The
Board of Directors reviews and approves all investment decisions.

The Group has an Investment Committee with the objectives of reviewing, advising and ensuring that
the Group’s investment in debt securities is consistent with the delegated authority limit approved
by the Board; and cash invested is within the risk appetite of the Group. The Investment Committee
established certain criteria for current and future investment in debt securities. Any investment
differing from the criteria established will require the Investment Committee’s approval. The Investment
Committee also aims to establish an effective investment management framework for the Group.

At the reporting date, the exposure to quoted investment securities at fair value was disclosed in Note 22.

Sensitivity analysis for market price risk

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s debt investments to reasonably possible
price movements in investments classified as available-for-sale at the reporting date:

Group

Debt investments - strengthened 5% (2017: 5%) 5,301 6,273


- weakened 5% (2017: 5%) (5,301) (6,273)

(f) Foreign currency risk


Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Group has transactional currency exposures mainly arising from revenue that are denominated
in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group entities. These functional
currencies are Malayisan Ringgit (“RM”), Thailand Baht (“Baht”), Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and
Australian Dollar (“AUD”). The foreign currencies in which these transactions are denominated are
mainly United States Dollars (“USD”), Euro and AUD. In addition, the Group has significant borrowings
in USD (Note 29). Therefore, the Group is exposed to foreign currency risk. These exposures are
managed, to the extent possible, by natural hedge that arise when payments for foreign currency
payables are matched against receivables denominated in the same foreign currency.

capital requirement has been complied with by the above-mentioned subsidiaries for the financial years
ended 31 August 2018 and 2017.

The Group and the Company monitor capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital
plus net debt. The Group and the Company include within net debt, loans and borrowings, trade and other
payables, less cash and cash equivalents. Capital includes equity attributable to the owners of the parent

43. Segment information

 For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their geographical areas,
and has five reportable operating segments.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making
decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated
based on operating profit or loss which, in certain respects as explained in the table below, is measured
differently from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. Group financing (including
finance costs), income taxes and share of results of associate are managed on a group basis and are not
allocated to operating segments.

The directors are of the opinion that all inter-segment transactions have been entered into the normal course
of business and have been established on negotiated and mutually agreed terms.
