Chairman’s Statement
Chairman’s Statement
On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to present to you the annual report of Harvest Court Industries Berhad (“HCIB”) for the financial year ended 31 December 2012.
The year 2012 has proven to be another challenging year for the Group. Although the brunt of the global financial crisis has passed, the Group remains affected by its aftermath. The year 2012 was a significant year for us as it marked the 20th anniversary of our group. From its humble beginnings two decades ago, HCIB has grown to become a household brand and is now a leading solid doors manufacturer in the region. Throughout the years, together, we have upheld the spirit of strengthening the company’s operations and performance, and
we are delighted to see the resilient and commendable growth in our construction division as we grow and diversify our business. We improved our manufacturing portfolio fundamentals and continued to pursue a prudent and diversification on projects and construction, which saw HCIB emerge stronger and well-positioned as one of Malaysia’s leading construction company.
The Group is optimistic about the growth potential in both India and Middle East markets. The potential to grow in these two markets is undeniable, as these economies have remained resilient despite the external turbulent economic conditions.
Taking cue from the successful diversification and transformation
programmes, HCIB have since last year embarked on their own transformation programmes, which aim to strengthen the Company’s fundamentals and operational platform to prepare for rapid growth in the years to come. In line with the Group’s direction, the timber and construction divisions have achieved RM24.3 million gross revenue for the year ending 31 December 2012 (2011: RM11.6 million). This represents 110% increase in Group turnover from year 2011. The Group has also managed to achieve profit after tax of RM140,405 after two consecutive years of losses.
We are happy that our strategy to accelerate the growth of our new ventures continues to show positive trend while prudent cost control measures have helped the Group
Annual Report 2012 13Chairman’s Statement (cont’d)
to improve its operational results without compromising on the quality of our service to customers.
Moving forward, the Group will continue to build on its strengths, and focus on its business goals and strategies to enhance shareholders’ value. On the same note, the Group will also explore various opportunities to grow and expand its businesses.

Chairman
Woo Mun Chee - Independent Non-Executive Director
MembersZainuri Bin Zainal - Independent Non-Executive DirectorChua Eng Chin - Independent Non-Executive Director
7. Re-election
The procedure on re-election of directors by rotation is set out in Articles No. 97 and 103 of the Company’s Articles of Association (“the Articles”). Pursuant to the Articles, all Directors who are appointed by the Board during the year are subject to re-election by shareholders at the first meeting after their appointment. The Articles also provide at least one third (1/3) of the remaining Directors are subject to re-election by rotation at each Annual General Meeting and retiring directors can offer themselves for re-election. All Directors shall retire from office at least once in every three (3) years, but shall be eligible for re-election. Directors over seventy (70) years of age are subject for re-appointment annually in accordance with Section 129(6) of the Companies Act, 1965.
8. Reinforce Independence
The Non-Executive Directors are not employees of the Group and do not participate in the day to day management of the Group. The Non-Executive Directors, including the Chairman, are independent directors and are able to express their views without any constraint. This strengthens the Board which benefits from the independent views expressed before any decisions are taken. The Nomination Committee has reviewed the performance of the independent directors and is satisfied they have been able to discharge their responsibilities in an independent manner.
None of the current independent board members had served the company for more than nine (9) years as per the recommendations of the Code. Should the tenure of an independent director exceed nine (9) years, shareholders approval will be sought at a General Meeting or if the services of the director concerned are still required, the director concerned will be re-designated as a non-independent director.
There is clear separation of powers between the Chairman, who is an independent director and the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, and this further enhances the independence of the Board. Should any director have an interest in any matter under deliberation, he is required to disclose his interest and abstain from participating discussions on the matter.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

2. Basis of Preparation (Cont’d)
(a) Statement of Compliance (Cont’d)
The initial application of the standards which will be applied prospectively or which requires extended disclosures, is not expected to have any financial impacts to the current and prior period’s financial statements upon the first adoption.
The possible financial impacts of initial application of MFRSs, which will be applied retrospectively is as follows:
MFRS 9 Financial Instruments
MFRS 9 (IFRS 9 (2009)) replaces the guidance in MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement on classification and measurement of financial asset. MFRS 9 requires financial asset to be measured at fair value or amortised cost. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument.
MFRS 9 (IFRS 9 (2010)) includes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition. Measurement for financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss, requires the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability, that is attributable to the change of credit risk of that liability, is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.
Under MFRS 139, the entire amount of the change in fair value of the financial liability designated as fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.
The adoption of MFRS 9 will result in a change in accounting policy. The Group and the Company are currently examining the financial impact of adopting MFRS 9.
MFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
MFRS 10 replaces all the guidance on control and consolidation in MFRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and IC Interpretation 112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities.
MFRS 10 changes the definition of control. An investor controls an investee when it 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. It establishes control as the basis for determining which entities are consolidated in the consolidated financial statements and sets out the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.
The adoption of MFRS 10 may lead to consolidation of entities that were previously not included in the Group. The Group is currently examining the financial impact of application of MFRS 10.

(a) Statement of Compliance (Cont’d)
The possible financial impacts of initial application of MFRSs, which will be applied retrospectively is as follows: (Cont’d)
MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
MFRS 13 defines fair value and sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and the disclosure requirements about fair value. This standard is intended to address the inconsistencies in the requirements for measuring fair value across different accounting standards. The definition of fair value under this standard emphasises the principle that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement.
The adoption of MFRS 13 will result in a change in accounting policy. The Group and the Company are currently examining the financial impact of adopting MFRS 13.
MFRS 119 Employee Benefits (2011)
This revised MFRS 119 will supersede the existing MFRS 119 when effective. This new standard makes significant changes to the recognition and measurement of defined benefit pension expense and termination benefits, and to the disclosures for all employee benefits. Actuarial gains and losses will no longer be deferred using the corridor approach. Past service costs, whether unvested or already vested, are recognised immediately in the profit or loss as incurred and the annual defined benefit costs in the profit or loss will include net interest expense/income on the defined benefit asset/liability.
The adoption of MFRS 119 (2011) will result in a change in accounting policy. The Group and the Company are currently examining the financial impact of adopting MFRS 119 (2011).
MFRS 127 Separate Financial Statements (2011)
Upon the adoption of MFRS 10, the accounting requirements relating to the preparation of consolidated financial statements are no longer covered under MFRS 127. This revised MFRS 127 only cover the requirements relating to the accounting for investments in subsidiary companies, associated companies and joint ventures in the separate financial statements of the entity. In such cases, the entity should account for such investments either at cost, or in accordance with MFRS 9.
The adoption of MFRS 127 (2011) will result in a change in accounting policy. The Group is currently examining the financial impact of adopting MFRS 127 (2011).

MFRS 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011)
This revised MFRS 128 incorporates the requirements for accounting for joint ventures, as well as associates, to be equity accounted following the issue of MFRS 11. However, the revised MFRS 128 exempts the investor from applying equity accounting in certain circumstances, i.e. where the investment in the associated company or joint venture is held indirectly via venture capital organisations or mutual funds and similar entities. In such cases, the entity shall measure the investment at fair value through profit or loss, in accordance with MFRS 9.
The adoption of MFRS 128 (2011) will result in a change in accounting policy. The Group is currently examining the financial impact of adopting MFRS 128 (2011).
(b) Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is the Group’s and the Company’s functional currency.
3. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial statements. They affect the application of the Group’s and the Company’s accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on historical experience and other relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation or uncertainty at the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are set out below.
(i) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
The costs of property, plant and equipment of the Group and of the Company are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. Management estimates the useful lives of the property, plant and equipment as disclosed in Note 4(b)(iii). These are common life expectancies applied in the industry. Changes in the expected level of usage could impact the useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying amounts of the Group’s and of the Company’s property, plant and equipment at 31 December 2012 are disclosed in Note 5.

3. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Cont’d)
(ii) Impairment of investments in subsidiary companies
The carrying values of investments in subsidiary companies are reviewed for impairment. In the determination of the value in use of the investments, the Company is required to estimate the expected cash flows to be generated by the subsidiary companies and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying amount of the Company’s investments in subsidiary companies as at 31 December 2012 is disclosed in Note 6.
(iii) Impairment of financial assets
The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group and the Company consider factors such as the probability of significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.
Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics.
(iv) Income taxes
There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgement is involved especially in determining tax base allowances and deductibility of certain expenses in determining the Group-wide and the Company-wide provision for income taxes. The Group and the Company recognise liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
(v) Employees’ Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”)
The fair value of share options granted during the financial year was estimated by the management using the Black-Scholes-Merton model, taking into accounts the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The fair value of share options was measured at Grant Date. The principal assumption used in the fair value estimation is disclosed in Note 30.
(vi) Construction contracts
The Group recognises construction contracts based on stage of completion method. Revenue recognised from construction contracts reflects management’s best estimate about each contract’s outcome and stage of completion. The Group assesses the profitability of on-going construction contracts and the order backlog at least monthly, using project management procedures. For more complex contracts in particular, costs to complete and contract profitability are subject to significant estimation uncertainty.
Annual Report 2012 69Notes to The Financial Statements (cont’d)
3. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Cont’d)
(vii) Inventories written down
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The Group estimates the net realisable value of inventories based on an assessment of expected sales prices. Demand levels and pricing competition could change from time to time. If such factors result in an adverse effect on the Group’s products, the Group might be required to reduce the value of its inventories.
4. Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiary companies and its associated company through equity accounting, which are made up to the end of the financial year.
In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiary companies and investment in associated company are stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of these investments, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the profit and loss.
(i) Subsidiary companies
Subsidiary companies are those companies in which the Group has long term equity interest and has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the purchase of subsidiary companies. The consideration transferred for acquisition of a subsidiary is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, as well as any contingent consideration given. Acquisition related costs are expensed off in the profit or loss as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities as well as contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values on the date of acquisition.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired (ie. a bargain purchase), the gain is recognised in profit or loss.
In a business combination achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured at its acquisition date fair value and the resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
(a) Basis of consolidation (Cont’d)
(i) Subsidiary companies (Cont’d)
Intra-group balances, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
If the Group loses control of a subsidiary company, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary company, including any goodwill, and non-controlling interests are derecognised at their carrying value on the date that control is lost. Any remaining investment in the entity is recognised at fair value. The difference between the fair value of consideration received and the amounts derecognised together with the remaining fair value of the investment is recognised as a gain or loss on disposal in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Non-controlling interest is the equity in a subsidiary company not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group measures any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. At the end of reporting period, non-controlling interest consists of amount calculated on the date of combinations and its share of changes in the subsidiary’s equity since the date of combination.
All earnings and losses of the subsidiary company is attributed to the parent and the non-controlling interest, even if the attribution of losses to the non-controlling interest results in deficits in the shareholders’ equity. Profit or loss attribution to non-controlling interests for prior years is not restated.
(ii) Associate companies
Associate companies are entities in which the Group has significant influence, but no control, over their financial and operating policies. Investments in associate companies are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in associate companies include goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss.
Equity accounting involves recording investments in associate companies initially at cost, and recognising the Group’s share of its associate companies’ post-acquisition results and its share of post-acquisition net results and other changes to comprehensive income against the carrying amount of the investments. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate company equals or exceeds its interest in the associate company, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate company.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
(a) Basis of consolidation (Cont’d)
(ii) Associate companies (Cont’d)
When the Group’s interest in an associate company reduces but does not result in a loss of significant influence, any retained interest is not re-measured. Any gain or loss arising from the decrease in interest is recognised in profit or loss. Any gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are also reclassified proportionately to the profit or loss.
Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate company are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.
(b) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The policy of recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 4(f).
(i) Recognition and measurement
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, cost of replacing component parts of the assets, and the present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of the assets after their use. The cost of self-constructed assets also includes the cost of materials and direct labour. For qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
The cost of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on fair value at acquisition date. The fair value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The fair value of other items of plant and equipment is based on the quoted market prices for similar items.
When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

(b) Property, plant and equipment (Cont’d)
(ii) Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the profit and loss as incurred.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in the profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Leasehold land Remaining lease periods of 18to 38 years
Leasehold buildings 50 yearsPlant and machinery 3 - 20 yearsOffice furniture, fittings and equipment 10 - 20 yearsMotor vehicles 5 - 10 yearsElectrical installation 20 years
The depreciable amount is determined after deducting the residual value.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at each financial year end.
(iv) Derecognition
Upon disposal of an asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets is charged or credited to the profit and loss. On disposal of a revalued asset, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in the revaluation reserve is transferred to retained earnings.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
(c) Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised on the statements of financial position when, and only when the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
(i) Classification
The Group and the Company classify their financial assets as loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than 12 months after the reporting date which are presented as non-current assets.
(ii) Recognition and initial measurement
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs.
(iii) Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
(c) Financial assets (Cont’d)
(iv) Impairment
The Group and the Company assess at each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and recognises an allowance for impairment when such evidence exists.
Loans and receivables
Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy, and default or significant delay in payments are objective evidence that these financial assets are impaired. The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying amount is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.
If in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
When the asset becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the related accumulated impairment losses account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised against the same line item in the profit and loss.
(v) Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group and the Company have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of consideration received and any cumulative gains or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in the profit or loss.
(d) Determination of fair value
All financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. At initial recognition, the fair value of a financial instrument is the transaction price, i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value is measured in accordance with the valuation methodologies as set out in Note 36(f).
Investments in unquoted equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost, and assessed for impairment at each reporting date.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
(e) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised on the statements of financial position when, and only when the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
The Group and the Company classify their financial liabilities as other financial liabilities. Management determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
All financial liabilities are initial recognised at fair value plus transaction cost and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Other financial liabilities are non-derivatives financial liabilities. The Group’s and the Company’s other financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables and borrowings. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities; except for maturities more than 12 months after the reporting date, in which case they are classified as non-current liabilities.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
(f) Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.
If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is recognised directly against any revaluation surplus for the asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same asset. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups.
Impairment losses are recognised in the profit and loss in the period in which it arises. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units (groups of units) and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (groups of units) on a pro rata basis.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
(f) Impairment of non-financial assets (Cont’d)
An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset is recognised in profit and loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
(g) Inventories
Inventories of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after adequate allowance has been made for all deteriorated, damaged, obsolete or slow-moving inventories.
Cost is determined using the first in, first out method. The cost of raw materials comprises the original cost of purchase plus the cost of bringing the stocks to its present location and condition.
The cost of work-in-progress and finished goods consist of raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and appropriate proportion of production overheads.
Net realisable value is the estimate of the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses.
(h) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
When the borrowings are made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment of funds drawdown from that borrowing.
When the borrowings are made generally, and used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation are determined by applying a capitalisation rate which is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings that are outstanding during the financial year.
All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
(i) Leases and hire purchase
A lease is recognised as a finance lease if it transfers substantially to the Group and the Company all the risks and rewards incident to ownership. All other leases are treated as operating leases.
Assets acquired by way of hire purchase or finance leases are stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair values and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The corresponding liability is included in the statements of financial position as liabilities. In calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments, the discount factor used is the interest rate implicit in the lease, when it is practical to determine; otherwise, the Group’s or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used.
Lease and hire purchase payments are apportioned between the finance costs and the reduction of the outstanding liability. Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total leasing commitments and the fair value of the assets acquired, are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss over the term of the relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charges on the remaining balance of the obligations for each reporting period.
The depreciation policy for leased assets is consistent with that for depreciable property, plant and equipment which are owned.
Lease rental under operating lease is charged to the profit and loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
(j) Share capital
Ordinary shares are recorded at the nominal value and proceeds in excess of the nominal value of shares issued, if any, are accounted for as share premium. Both ordinary shares and share premium are classified as equity. Cost directly attributable to the issuance of the shares is accounted for as a deduction from share premium, otherwise, it is charged to the profit and loss.
Dividends on ordinary shares, when declared or proposed by the Directors of the Company are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Upon approval and when paid, such dividends will be accounted for in the shareholders’ equity as an appropriation of retained earnings in the financial year in which the dividends are paid.
(k) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent consist of cash in hand, bank balances and deposits with banks which have an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalent are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits.

4. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
(l) Foreign currencies transactions
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are included in the profit or loss for the period.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in equity.
(m) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the Company and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:
(i) Goods sold and services rendered
Revenue from sales of goods and services is recognised when significant risk and rewards have been transferred to the buyer, if any, or on performance of services, net of sales taxes and discounts.
(ii) Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis that takes into account the effective yield on the asset.
(iii) Construction revenue
Revenue from construction contracts is accounted in accordance to the accounting policies as described in Note 4(r).

(n) Employee benefits
(i) Short term employee benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group and of the Company. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick and medical leave are recognised when the absences occur.
The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is measured as additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the state pension scheme, the Employees Provident Fund. Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss in the period to which they relate.
(iii) ESOS
The Company’s ESOS, an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan, allows the Company and its subsidiary companies’ employees to acquire ordinary shares of the Company. The total fair value of share options granted to employees is recognised as an employee cost with a corresponding increase in the share option reserve within equity over the vesting period and taking into account the probability that the options will vest. The fair value of share options is measured at grant date, taking into account, if any, the market vesting conditions upon which the options were granted but excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable on vesting date.
At each reporting period, the Group revises its estimated number of options that are expected to become exercisable on vesting date. It recognised the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the profit and loss, and a corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period. The equity amount is recognised in the share option reserve until the option exercised, or expires, upon which it will transferred directly to retained earnings. The proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to equity when the options are exercised.

(o) Contingent liabilities
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
(p) Income taxes
Income tax on the profit or loss for the financial year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the financial year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on the liability method for all temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statements of financial position and its tax base at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Deferred tax asset and liability is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting period. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available.
Deferred tax is recognised in the profit and loss, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or negative goodwill.

(q) Operating segments
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker, which in this case is the Group’s Executive Board, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available.
(r) Construction contracts
Construction contracts are contract specifically negotiated for the construction of an asset or a combination of assets that are closely interrelated or interdependent in terms of their design, technology and function or their ultimate purpose or use.
When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs are recognised over the period of contract as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period. The stage of completion method is determined by the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total contract cost.
When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that is probable will be recoverable and contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
Irrespective of whether the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, when it is probable that contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
Contract revenue comprises the initial amount of revenue agreed in the contract and variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and they are capable of being reliably measured.
The aggregate of the costs incurred and the profit or loss recognised on each contract is compared against the progress billings up to the year end. Where costs incurred and recognised profits (less recognised losses) exceed progress billings, the balance is presented as amounts due from contract customers. Where progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognised profits (less recognised losses), the balance is presented as amounts due to contract customers.

Income tax is calculated at the statutory tax rate of 25% (2011: 25%) of the estimated taxable profit for the financial year.
Prior to the year of assessment 2008, Malaysian companies adopt the full imputation system. In accordance with the Finance Act, 2007 which was gazetted on 28 December 2007, companies shall not be entitled to deduct tax on dividend paid, credited or distributed to its shareholders, and such dividends will be exempted from tax in the hands of the shareholders (“single tier system”). However, there is a transitional period of six years, expiring on 31 December 2013, to allow companies to pay franked dividends to their shareholders under limited circumstances. Companies also have an irrevocable option to disregard the Section 108 balance and opt to pay dividends under the single tier system. The change in the tax legislation also provides for the Section 108 balance to the locked-in as at 31 December 2007 in accordance with Section 39 of the Finance Act 2007.
The Company has tax credit under Section 108 of the Income Tax Act, 1967 and tax exempt income account to pay franked dividend of approximately RM4,175,500 (2011: RM4,175,500) out of its retained earnings without incurring additional tax liability as no election has been made to disregard the Section 108 as at to date by the Company.

30. ESOS (Cont’d)
The expected life of the share options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur in the future. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility, adjusted for unusual or extraordinary volatility arising from certain economic or business occurrences which is not reflective of its long term average level. While the expected volatility is assumed to be indicative of future trends, it may not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of the option grant were incorporated into the measurement of the fair value.

32. Segmental Reporting
The Group has three reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s strategic business units. For each of the strategic business unit, the Group’s Chief Executive Officer reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis.
The following summary describes the main business segments and respective business activity of each segment of the Group’s reportable segments:
Business segment Business activities

Construction and property development
Contractors in construction and interior design fit up works and related maintenance services, development of residential and commercial properties
Investment holding and others Investment in shares and securities and the provision of marketing and management service
Performance is measured based on segment profit before tax, interest and depreciation, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Group’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the Group’s chief operating decision maker. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.

The total of segment asset is measured based on all assets of a segment, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Group’s Chief Executive Officer.
Segment total asset is used to measure the return of assets of each segment.
Segment liabilities
Segment liabilities information is neither included in the internal management reports nor provided regularly to the Chief Executive Officer. Hence no disclosure is made on segment liability.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s and the Company’s financial risk management policy is to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the development of the Group’s and the Company’s operations whilst managing its financial risks, including foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Group and the Company operate within clearly defined guidelines that are approved by the Board and the Group’s and the Company’s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions.
(c) Credit risk
Short term deposits with licensed banks, cash and bank balances are placed with a credit worthy financial institution.
Credit risk arises mainly from the inability of its customers to make payments when due. The Group and the Company have adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. Receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis via the Group’s and the Company’s management reporting procedures and action will be taken for long outstanding debts. The Company only provided loans and advances to subsidiary companies and the results of the subsidiary companies are monitored regularly.

(c) Credit risk (Cont’d)
The carrying amounts of the financial assets recorded on the statements of financial position at the end of the reporting period represent the Group’s and the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. The Group has significant concentration of credit risk with its exposure to two customers representing 91% (2011: Nil) of total trade receivables.
(d) Liquidity risk
The Group’s and the Company’s funding requirements and liquidity risks are managed with the objective of meeting business obligations on a timely basis. The Group and the Company monitor their cash flows and ensures that sufficient funding is in place to meet the obligations as and when they fall due.
The following table analyses the remaining contractual maturity for non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group and the Company can be required to pay.

(e) Market risks (Cont’d)
(iii) Interest rate risk (Cont’d)
The Group and the Company constantly monitor its interest rate risk and do not utilise interest swap contracts or other derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. At the end of the reporting period, there were no such arrangements, interest rate swap contracts or other derivative instruments outstanding.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s and of the Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk are as follows:
Group/Company31.12.2012 31.12.2011 1.1.2011
RM RM RM
Financial AssetShort term deposits with a licensed bank 499,192 267,777 -
The Group and the Company are exposed to interest rate risk arising from the short term deposits. However, the short term deposits interest rate is insignificant and any fluctuations in the rate would have no material impact on the results of the Group and of the Company.
(f) Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities
(i) The fair values of financial instruments refer to the amounts at which the instruments could be exchanged or settled between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Fair values have been arrived at based on prices quoted in an active, liquid market or estimated using certain valuation techniques such as discounted future cash flows based upon certain assumptions. Amount derived from such methods and valuation technique are inherently subjective and therefore do not necessarily reflect the amounts that would be received or paid in the event of immediate settlement of the instruments concerned.
On the basis of amount estimated from the methods and techniques as mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the carrying amount of the various financial assets and financial liabilities reflected on the statements of financial position approximate their fair values.
The carrying amounts are considered to approximate the fair values as they are within the normal credit terms or they have short-term maturity period and insignificant discounting impact.

Ordinary Resolution 7: Authority To Directors To Allot And Issue Shares
The Ordinary Resolution 7 is a renewal of the mandate given to the Company by the shareholders at the previous Annual General Meeting held on 27 June 2012, if duly passed, will give the Directors of the Company the flexibility to issue and allot new shares in the Company up to an amount not exceeding in total 10% of the issued share capital of the Company for the time being for such purposes as the Directors consider would be in the interest of the Company. This authority, unless revoked or varied at a general meeting will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company.
In order to avoid any delay and costs involved in convening a general meeting to approve such issue of shares, it is thus considered appropriate that the Directors be empowered to issue shares in the Company, up to any amount not exceeding in total 10% of the issued share capital of the Company for the time being, for such purposes. The renewed authority for allotment of shares will provide flexibility to the Company for the allotment of shares for the purpose of funding future investment, working capital and/ or acquisitions.
During the financial year ended 31 December 2012, 1,056,000 new ordinary share of RM0.25 each in the Company were issued via exercising of 1,056,000 option shares under the ESOS by the eligible Directors and employees (“ESOS”) and 16,700,000 new ordinary share of RM0.25 each in the Company were issued by way of private placement at an issue price of RM0.403 per share (“Private Placement”) pursuant to the mandate granted to the Company at the Thirty Fourth Annual General Meeting held on 27 June 2012. The proceeds amounting to RM6,994,100.00 arising from the ESOS and Private Placement is mainly for working capital and capital expenditure requirements of the Group.
