Customers & Programs
• Following the manufacturing launch of our aero-engine casing products for the new Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737max platforms in FY2017, production ramped up at the start of the financial year and increased significantly in the second half. The strong demand from these new aircraft platforms offsets the lower deliveries of casing products from the older Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft platforms.
• After a challenging start in FY2017,our newmanufacturing start-up for aerospacemachinedparts have successfully moved into steady state volume production, attaining 100% on-time delivery performance throughout the year.
• This financial year also see the progressive migration of our new aerostructures manufacturing to the new facility in Penang. Machinery to produce parts for Airbus A320neo and A350 platforms are installed and operational, with machining automation to be introduced by May 2018 through the use of the Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS).

26CROSSOVER . ANNUAL REPORT 2018
Aerospace
The Aerospace market outlook continues to be positive. This is evident in the market forecast and strong order book numbers provided by both Airbus and Boeing, the two biggest companies in the Aerospace industry.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA), a trade association representing the world’s airlines, has reported that the globalairlineindustryremainsprofitable,forecastingprofitgrowthof11%inyear2018comparedto2017.Thisencouragingtrend, coupled with the introduction of new aircraft platforms that are more fuel-efficient and cost-effective, has translated to strong demand for new planes now and in the near future.
The short-term market outlook remains positive for our Aerospace business. We continue to deliver parts that are used in the still-popular Boeing B737 and B787 aircraft where demand is stable, and we are ramping production on parts used in the new Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737max aircraft that are high growth programs. The new increase will make up for the decrease in demand for parts used in matured platforms like the Boeing B777 and Airbus A380. For our parts that are used in business jet applications, demand continues to be volatile as compared with the commercial airliner market.
The mid-term market outlook is also projected to be healthy. The combined order backlog for both Airbus and Boeing commercial aircraft remains at more than 13,000 units. This translates to about 9 years of backlog based on current yearly production rates.
Overthelongterm,Airbus’20YearGlobalMarketForecastReportforecastedglobalairpassengertraffictodoublebyyear2036. To keep pace with this growth, as well as that of air freight traffic, the global demand for new commercial aircraft is projected to be about 35,000 units over the next 20 years. About two-thirds of this demand will be to support traffic growth while the rest is for replacing older aircraft with newer and more fuel-efficient aircraft.
Equipment
The Semiconductors industry remains strong, with Semiconductor Equipment and Front-End Fab Equipment markets forecasted,pursuant to theSEMIDecember2017report, togrow5–7%going intoyear2018.Thisnear termpositiveoutlook will benefit our Equipment business where a substantial portion of our activities is dedicated to supporting this industry. Beyond the short term, it will be difficult to establish firm projections of the Semiconductor market due to the dynamic nature of the industry and new market-disrupting developments.
For data storage devices, we do not see improvements in the market for Hard Disk Drive (HDD). As such, we expect our existing sales backlog in our data storage devices testing segment to remain the same as that of the previous year. However, with the industrialisation of a new product from our customer for the Semiconductor test segment, we expect to grow our equipment testing integration business in the coming years.
OUTLOOK
We would like to thank all shareholders, stakeholders and supporters for the continued support for SAM Engineering and Equipment (M) Berhad and the trust you place in us.
We would also like to express our appreciation to our Chairman and members of the Board for their dedication and support in guiding us towards greater achievements and success.

Information Technology (“IT”) & Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is an issue that we take very seriously. As we become more digitally connected, we understand that we are facing a greater risk of cyber threats which could potentially pose a risk to the privacy and security of data belonging to our stakeholders, including those of our employees, customers and suppliers. We are committed to safeguard the privacy and security of data entrusted to us, and place great importance in investing and maintaining an IT infrastructure that implements reasonable physical and technical controls.
We have also established a set of policies to govern our cybersecurity and IT-related issues. This includes IT Security Policy, IT Usage Policy and IT Business Continuity Plan. In the face of increasingly prevalent cyber-attacks we also plan to introduce IT Cybersecurity Policy and IT Cyber Incident Response Plan which are currently being prepared in an attempt to improve our preparedness. We periodically review our policies and procedures and communicate them to our employees through trainings, to increase awareness and ensure their compliance.
Our IT department continuously monitors and assesses cybersecurity risks. In the year 2018, we have begun performing Cybersecurity Assessment, which includes gap analysis, external penetration test, internal penetration test, and web penetration test. We have consequently designed and implemented remediation actions to improve the robustness of our IT systems based on the assessment results.
Supply Chain Management
Collaborating with our suppliers is integral to manage our supply chain and promote good sourcing practices. Our actions also assist in fostering meaningful relationships with our business partners. Therefore, we place great importance on our procurement practices and supply chain management.
Our Purchasing Policy, Legal Policy and Approval Authorisation Policy guide procurement practices. We support fair bidding practices, and have a firm policy on gifts, inducements and rewards. Suppliers are also screened through a set of criteria, which includes quality of goods, going concern, and availability of certifications, including AS9100, the quality management standard for the Aerospace industry.
Our position in the supply chain allows us to encourage and assist suppliers in earning and maintaining their certifications. Some of our main initiatives include requiring suppliers to perform self-assessments against the Vendor Audit Program, as well as auditing our suppliers. During these audits, suppliers are required to upkeep a minimum score.
Product and Service Quality
We pride ourselves in providing quality products and services to our customers. Quality is earned with robust internal controls and practices, experience in the business, continuous improvement in knowledge and skills, and an acute understanding of our customers’ needs.
As a demonstration of our commitment to upholding quality, our operations are certified under internationally-recognised standards. Our Equipment operations are certified under the ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2012 standards. Aerospace operations are certified under the AS9100:2016 and ISO9001:2015 standards, and holds Nadcap Certification on special processes (Non Destructive Testing (“NDT”), Chemical Processes, Laboratory, Welding, Heat Training, Coating, and Conventional machining as a special process, and Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (“CAAS”) Singapore Airworthiness Requirements 21 (“SAR21”) Production Organisation Approval.
Documents from our quality management system such as our quality procedures and work instructions provide guidance to employees on processes, practices and operations procedures. Moreover, regular training is held to brief employees on key areas to maintain the highest quality standards.
In addition, we regularly review our internal processes, including conducting periodic product and process audits, continuous improvement initiatives, and assessing risks and implementing response plans. We also monitor our quality performance with internal indicators that are reported and reviewed regularly. We are dedicated to associating the “SAM” brand with quality through our commitment to reliability and pursuance for continuous improvement.
33 SAM ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT (M) BERHAD
Customer Satisfaction and Relationship
Included in our Mission is also our commitment towards our customers’ needs. We are dedicated to meeting their requirements through our products, services and our business management. Our operations strive to produce quality products and services via our driven workforce, which fosters long-term customer relationships and promotes customer satisfaction.
We have customers all over the world, including in Canada, in the United States of America and in Europe. Therefore, we frequently engage via platforms such as annual customer surveys, quarterly business reviews, regular conference calls, and monthly and annually performance reviews. These modes of communication allow us to monitor performance indicators of customer satisfaction, including On-Time-Delivery, Customer Satisfaction Scores, and customer complaints.
Feedback from customers are reviewed and responded to, and identified areas of improvement are translated into action plans and followed-up upon until completion. Other sections of our Statement and the rest of our Annual Report, demonstrate the way we manage our business for effective performance and quality outputs that satisfy our customers. This includes efforts in quality, promoting innovation and development, ensuring data security, ethical practice and compliance, responsible environmental practices, and responsible labour practices.
Environmental Management
We take great care in managing our impact to the environment. We are continuously working to improve our understanding of how our activities affect the environment both directly and indirectly, and seek ways to reduce our environmental footprint as much as possible.
We recognise that our main impact areas are associated with the waste generated by our operations – both hazardous and non-hazardous – as well as our energy consumption. In the following sections we outline the approach we adopt to address these issues, guided by our aspiration to live harmoniously and operate sustainably with nature.
Waste and Hazardous Material Management
Our manufacturing processes generate hazardous materials which are classified as Scheduled Waste under the Environmental Quality Act 1974 in Malaysia or listed as Controlled Hazardous Substance under The Environmental Protection and Management (Hazardous Substances) Regulations in Singapore. The hazardous waste arising from our operations includes dust, glass beads, sludge, waste oil, spent hydraulic oil, coolant, mix solvent, contaminated resins, contaminated containers, contaminated rags, waste paint, and spent activated carbon.
We noted the increasing amount of toxic and hazardous waste being disposed compared to previous years. This increase was attributable mainly to the increasing production in those sites that require special process and chemical treatment, particularly the aerospace segment as well as the Semiconductor front end business. Nevertheless, in line with the 4R waste management hierarchy, we continue to actively look for potential avenues to reduce the generation of waste, reuse, recycle and recover it wherever possible.

A similar strategy with regards to 4R waste management approach is also adopted for general waste produced. Last year, we reported our initiative to reduce the use of wooden crates used in transportation and packaging by replacing them with recyclable corrugated box at our sites in Malaysia. The wooden crates are now being reused for ‘in-process’ packing. This year, we have successfully increased the number of wooden crates being replaced, from 125 crates in the financial year ended2017(“FY2017”)to185cratesinFY2018.Weexpectthenumbertonearlydoubleinthecomingyearaswecontinueimplementing this initiative.
Energy Consumption
Due to the nature of our operation, energy consumption is a major sustainability issue that we are keen on addressing in a comprehensive way. We acknowledge that tackling this issue is important not only to our financial bottom line through the increased efficiency, but also vital as the resulting carbon emissions contribute negatively to the environment.
While we understand that fuel, steam, heating and cooling are all part of our total energy use, currently we are only monitoring our electricity consumption.
We are happy to report that we have successfully been more effective on our electricity consumption per million RM revenue than the previous year. We attribute this reduction to the ongoing energy-saving effort since 2015.
The implementation of our energy-saving initiative in all Malaysian sites, where the conventional High Bay lighting system was replaced with LED lighting has been completed. A similar project started in our Singapore operation this year.
We will continue to ensure that energy efficiency is considered when procuring for new equipment or machinery. We are also currently studying the feasibility of installing solar panels at our Singapore operation, in an effort to reduce our dependency on non-renewable energy sources.
Our people
We value our workforce as their talents and dedication contribute towards the success of the Group. Therefore, we uphold our commitment to them to provide for a safe and healthy workplace that promotes their career development, provides equal opportunities, and supports their welfare necessities.
Labour Practices
We strictly uphold human rights and respect the rights of all our employees. This includes the following, but is not limited to: no forced labour, no discrimination, promoting a safe and healthy workplace, no child labour, adherence to the minimum wage, and freedom of speech. This is reflected in our labour practices, which meet relevant laws and regulations, including the respective Employment Acts of Malaysia and Singapore.
Furthermore, our Singaporean operations are signatory to the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (“TAFEP”). TAFEP is co-chaired by members of the Singapore National Employers Federation (“SNEF”) and National Trades Union Congress (“NTUC”), and consists of employer representatives, union leaders and government officials. The aim of the alliance is to promote the adoption of fair and responsible employment practices.

The WBP outlines when, how and to whom a concern could be properly raised about the actual or potential corporate fraud and or breach of ethics involving employees, Management or Director(s) of the Group.
Part 2 - Board Composition
Intended Outcome 4.0• Board decisions are made objectively in the best interests of the company taking into account diverse
perspectives and insights.
4.1 Board Composition
The Board composition, as at the date of this statement, comprises of five (5) Independent Non-Executive Directors out of eight (8) Directors in the Board. Therefore, the following prescribed requirements have been fully complied by the Board:
• Paragraph 3.04(1) of the Listing Requirements which stipulates that at least 2 directors or 1/3 of the board of directors, whichever is the higher, are independent directors; and
• Practice 4.1 of the Code, where at least half of the board comprises Independent Directors
The existing composition of the Board is as set out below:
Directors Designation
Tan Kai Hoe Non-Independent Non-Executive Chairman
Goh Wee Keng, Jeffrey Executive Director & CEO
Shum Sze Keong Non-Independent Non-Executive Director
Dato’ Mohamed Salleh Bin Bajuri Independent Non-Executive Director
Dato’ Wong Siew Hai Independent Non-Executive Director
Dato’ Sri Lee Tuck Fook Independent Non-Executive Director
Lee Hock Chye Independent Non-Executive Director
Datuk Dr Wong Lai Sum Independent Non-Executive Director
The profile of each Director is presented in the relevant section of this Annual Report.
The Directors, with their different background and specialisation, collectively bring with them a wide range of experience and expertise in areas such as finance, engineering, corporate affairs, legal, marketing and operations.
The Independent Non-Executive Directors bring objective and independent judgment to the decision making of the Board and provide a capable check and balance to the Executive Director and management. They contribute significantly in areas such as policy and strategy development, performance monitoring, allocation of resources as well as improving governance and controls.
Together with the Executive Director & CEO who has intimate knowledge of the business, the Board is constituted by individuals who are committed to business integrity and professionalism in all its activities and have proper understanding of and competence to deal with the current and emerging business issues.

Principle A: Board Leadership and Effectiveness (Cont’d)
Part 2 - Board Composition (Cont’d)
4.2 Tenure of Independent Non-Executive Directors
The concept of independence adopted by the Board conforms with the definition of an Independent Director under paragraph 1.01 and Practice Note 13 of the Listing Requirements. An Independent Director is not a member of management and is free from any business or other relationship which could interfere with the exercise of independent judgment or the ability to act in the best interests of the Company.
On 26 September 2007, Singapore Precision Engineering Limited and Singapore Aerospace Manufacturing Pte Ltd (“SAM Singapore”), collectively, acquired 44.787% of the entire issued share capital of the Company. Thus making SAM Singapore effectively the controlling shareholder.
In view of the foregoing, the NRC and the Board had determined that the period of nine (9) years shall commence with effect from 26 September 2007 or the date of appointment of each Independent Director, whichever shall be the later.
The Board is mindful of the practice in the Code, whereby the tenure of an independent director is subject to a cumulative term limit of nine years. Upon completion of the nine year tenure, an independent director may continue to serve on the board as a non-independent director. If the Board intends to retain an independent director beyond the term limit of nine years, it should justify and seek annual shareholders’ approval. The Board is also mindful of Practice 4.2 of the Code which requires the Board to seek annual shareholders’ approval through a two-tier voting process, if the Board continues to retain an independent director after the twelfth year.
In ascertaining the independent status of the Directors, the Board continues to believe that tenure should not form part of the assessment criteria. It is of the view that the fiduciary duties of Directors are the primary concern of all Directors, regardless of their status. In fact, continued tenure brings stability to the Board as the Group benefits from their mix of skills, professional and commercial experience, technical expertise in their relevant fields and competencies for informed and balanced decision-making by the Board.
Dato’ Mohamed Salleh Bin Bajuri, Dato’ Wong Siew Hai, Dato’ Sri Lee Tuck Fook and Mr Lee Hock Chye have all served the Company as Independent Non-Executive Directors for a cumulative term of more than 9 years from 26 September 2007.
The NRC had conducted annual performance evaluation and assessment on these Independent Non-Executive Directors and is of the opinion that they remain independent premised upon the following reasons:
(a) They fulfilled the criteria for independence as stated in the Listing Requirements.(b) Their long tenure of service has allowed them to be thoroughly acquainted with the business operations of the
Group which in turn has enabled them to participate actively and contribute positively to deliberation at Board Committees and Board meetings.
(c) Their wide-ranging professional, corporate and commercial experience provide the Board with diverse set of expertise, skills and competencies.
(d) They are objective and impartial in expressing their views and opinions during meetings, have always exercised due care and carried out their duties in the best interest of the Company and shareholders.
(e) They have devoted their time and effort for an informed and balanced deliberation at Board and Board Committees meetings and their attendance record at these meetings reflect their commitment to the Group.
The Board has accepted the foregoing rationale and has agreed for the re-appointment Dato’ Mohamed Salleh Bin Bajuri, Dato’ Wong Siew Hai, Dato’ Sri Lee Tuck Fook and Mr Lee Hock Chye to continue as Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company, subject to approval of the shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
4.3 Diversity of Board and Senior Management
In the Company’s Board Diversity Policy, the Board encourages diversity and there is no discrimination on any basis, including but not limited to, race, age, ethnicity and gender. The Board is of the opinion that the evaluation of suitability of candidates should be based on their performance and merit, in the context of skills, time commitment and experience to bring value and expertise to the Board.

4.4 Gender diversity
As mentioned above, the Board did not set specific target on gender diversity for the Company and currently, Datuk Dr. Wong Lai Sum is the only female Director on the Board. Her profile can be found at the relevant section of this Annual Report.
4.5 Board appointment
The Board is responsible for the appointment of new Directors, and the NRC is delegated with the role of screening and conducting an initial selection, which includes an external search, before making a recommendation to the Board. The NRC has the authority to obtain the services of professional recruitment firms to source for candidates for directorship or seek independent professional advice whenever necessary.
As part of the roles of the NRC, the NRC also evaluates the suitability of potential candidates for appointment to the Board based on, among others, experience, commitment (including time commitment), competency, and (if applicable) such relevant regulatory criteria for assessing independence. The NRC will then recommend the successful candidates for approval and appointment by the Board.
4.6 Nominating and Remuneration Committee
The NRC of the Company comprises exclusively of Non-Executive Directors, a majority of whom are Independent Directors.
The Members of the NRC and their meeting attendance during their tenure in office for the financial year under review are as set out below.

The Board of Directors (“Board”) of SAM Engineering & Equipmant (M) Berhad affirms its overall responsibility for the Group’s system of internal control and risk management and for reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the system. The system of internal control covers governance, risk management, financial strategy and organisational, operational, regulatory and compliance control. However, the Board recognises that this system is designed to manage, rather than eliminate, the risk of not adhering to the Group’s policies and achieving goals and objectives. Therefore, the system provides reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against the occurrence of any material misstatement, loss or fraud.
The adequacy and effectiveness of risk management and internal controls are reviewed by the Audit Committee (“AC”) through internal audits conducted. The internal audits are mainly outsourced to external service providers. Internal Control issues as well as actions taken by Management to address these issues are tabled by the Internal Audit Manager and outsourced service providers for deliberation during the AC meetings.
Each business unit and their supporting departments have implemented its own control processes under the leadership of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is responsible for business and regulatory governance.
Risk Management
The Group has in place an Enterprise Risk Management Framework in accordance with the principles and guidelines outlined under the Committee of Sponsoring Organisation of the Treadway Commission’s Enterprise Risk Management Integrated Framework and is embedded in the Group’s management systems. In order to manage risk in our activities and ensure they are aligned with the Group’s strategic objectives and regulatory requirements, we implemented a risk management framework to identify, measure, assess and manage risks faced by the Group.
The Board has delegated authority to the Risk and Sustainability Committee (“RSC”) to undertake the review of the existing risk management framework and risks dashboards, which detail the likelihood and impact of the significant risks and their corresponding action plans.
The functioning of the RSC is supported by the Chief Risk Officer, key management staff and the risk management section of the business units or functional groups led by the head of each such unit or group.
Risk Management Framework
The Group’s overall risk management framework is as illustrated in the diagram below:
Internal Environment
• Management sets a philosophy regarding risk and establishes risk appetite.• Management sets organisational tone at the top for risk management.
Objective Setting
• Management sets objectives that support and align with the entity’s mission consistent with its risk appetite.• Management identifies the risk appetite and parameters.
Event Identification
• Process to identify potential events from internal/external sources affecting achievement of objectives.• Potential industry risks.• Identification of preliminary risks.

In addition, Business Continuity Plans are established for critical business functions and critical application systems.* Note: Sam Precision (Thailand) Limited was excluded from the BCM.
Review of this Statement
Audit Committee
While the AC has reviewed this Statement and addressed individual lapses in internal control and risk management via the Internal Audit Manager during the course of internal audits carried throughout the year, it has not identified any circumstances which suggest any fundamental deficiencies in the Group’s internal control system and risk management.
External Auditors
The external auditors have reviewed 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 (“MIA”) for inclusion in the annual report of the Group for the financial year ended 2018 (“FY2018”), and reported to the Board that nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the statement intended to be included in the annual report of the Group, in all material respects:
a) has not been prepared in accordance with the disclosures required by paragraphs 41 and 42 of the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issues, or
b) is factually inaccurate.

Review of this Statement (Cont’d)
External Auditors (Cont’d)
AAPG 3 does not require the external auditors to consider whether the Directors’ Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control covers all risks 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 Board of Directors and management thereon. The auditors are also not required to consider whether the processes described to deal with material internal control aspects of any significant problems disclosed in the annual report will, in fact, remedy the problems.
Conclusion
Notwithstanding the fact that the Group’ system of risk management and internal controls do not eliminate the possibility of collusion, deliberate circumvention of procedures by employees, fraud or other unforeseen circumstances, the Board has received assurance from the CEO and CFO that the Group’s risk management and internal control system are operating adequately and effectively, in all material aspects.
The Board is of the view that the system of internal control and risk management which are in place for the year under review, and up to the date of approval of this Statement, is sound and sufficient to safeguard shareholders’ investment, the interest of customers, regulators, employees and other stakeholders, and the Group’s assets.
This statement on Risk Management and Internal Control is issued in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors dated 24 May 2018.

Other statutory information (Cont’d)
At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:
i) that would render the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the Group and in the Company inadequate to any substantial extent, or

iii) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate, or
iv) not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements that would render any amount stated in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.
At the date of this report, there does not exist:
i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year and which secures the liabilities of any other person, or
ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year.
No contingent liability or other liability of any company in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and of the Company to meet their obligations as and when they fall due.

The Group and the Company plan to apply the abovementioned accounting standards, amendments and interpretations, where applicable, in the respective financial years when the above mentioned accounting standards, amendments or interpretations become effective except as mentioned below:
MFRS 9 Financial Instruments
MASB issued the final version of MFRS 9, Financial Instruments which reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces MFRS 139, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of MFRS 9. The standard 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.
During the financial year, the Group has performed an impact assessment of all three aspects of MFRS 9. This assessment is based on currently available information and may be subject to changes arising from further reasonable and supportable information being made available to the Group in 2018 when the Group will adopt MFRS 9. Overall, the Group expects no significant impact on its statement of financial position and equity.
MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
MFRS 15 replaces the guidance in MFRS 111, Construction Contracts, MFRS 118, Revenue, IC Interpretation 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes, IC Interpretation 15, Agreements for Construction of Real Estate, IC Interpretation 18, Transfers of Assets from Customers and IC Interpretation 131, Revenue - Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.
MFRS 15 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under MFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

The Group has assessed the estimated impact that the initial application of MFRS 15 will have on its consolidated financial statements for financial year ended 31 March 2018. The estimated impacts on initial application based on the assessment performed are as follows:

The adoption of MFRS 15 is not expected to materially impact the equity of the Group as at 1 April 2017.
MFRS 16 Leases
MFRS 16 replaces the guidance in MFRS 117, Leases, IC Interpretation 4, Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, IC Interpretation 115, Operating Leases – Incentives and IC Interpretation 127, Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
MFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard which continues to be classified as finance or operating lease.
The Group is currently assessing the financial impact that may arise from the adoption of MFRS 16.

1. Basis of preparation (Cont’d)
(b) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis other than as disclosed in the financial statements.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information is presented in RM and has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.
(d) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with MFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements other than those disclosed in Note 6 - Deferred tax assets, Note 9 - Inventories and Note 14 - Provisions.
2. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial statements and have been applied consistently by Group entities, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities, including structured entities, controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Potential voting rights are considered when assessing control only when such rights are substantive. The Group also considers it has de facto power over an investee when, despite not having the majority of voting rights, it has the current ability to direct the activities of the investee that significantly affect the investee’s return.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less any impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of investment includes transaction costs.
(ii) Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method from the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
For new acquisitions, the Group measures the cost of goodwill at the acquisition date as:• the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus• the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus• if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree;
less• the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

2. Significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
(a) Basis of consolidation (Cont’d)
(ii) Business combinations (Cont’d)
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
(iii) Acquisitions of non-controlling interests
The Group accounts for all changes in its ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control as equity transactions between the Group and its non-controlling interest holders. Any difference between the Group’s share of net assets before and after the change, and any consideration received or paid, is adjusted to or against Group reserves.
(iv) Acquisitions from entities under common controls
Business combinations arising from transfers of interests in entities that are under the control of the shareholder that controls the Group are accounted for as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or, if later, at the date that common control was established; for this purpose comparatives are restated. The assets and liabilities acquired are recognised at the carrying amounts recognised previously in the Group controlling shareholder’s consolidated financial statements. The components of equity of the acquired entities are added to the same components within Group equity and any resulting gain/loss is recognised directly in equity.
(v) Loss of control
Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the former subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the former subsidiary from the consolidated statement of financial position. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the former subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained.
(vi) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(b) Foreign currency
(i) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of the reporting date, except for those that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.

(b) Foreign currency (Cont’d)
(i) Foreign currency transactions (Cont’d)
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of a financial instrument designated as a hedge of currency risk, which are recognised in other comprehensive income.
In the consolidated financial statements, when settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (“FCTR”) in equity.
(ii) Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia
The assets and liabilities of operations denominated in functional currencies other than RM, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to RM at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the FCTR in equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the FCTR related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests.
(c) Financial instruments
(i) Initial recognition and measurement
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group or the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial instrument is recognised initially, at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument.
An embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if, and only if, it is not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the host contract is not categorised as fair value through profit or loss. The host contract, in the event an embedded derivative is recognised separately, is accounted for in accordance with policy applicable to the nature of the host contract.

(ii) Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement
The Group and the Company categorise financial instruments as follows:
Financial assets
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial assets that are held for trading, including derivatives (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument) or financial assets that are specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition.
Derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of unquoted equity instruments whose fair values cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost.
Other financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair values with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
(b) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables category comprises debt instruments that are not quoted in an active market.
Financial assets categorised as loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
All financial assets, except for those measured at fair value through profit or loss, are subject to review for impairment (see Note 2(g)(i)).
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost other than those categorised as fair value through profit or loss.
Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are derivatives (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument) or financial liabilities that are specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition.
Derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of equity instruments that do not have a quoted price in an active market for identical instruments whose fair values otherwise cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost.
Other financial liabilities categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair values with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
(iii) Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.
Fair value arising from financial guarantee contracts are classified as deferred income and is amortised to profit or loss using a straight-line method over the contractual period or, when there is no specified contractual period, recognised in profit or loss upon discharge of the guarantee. When settlement of a financial guarantee contract becomes probable, an estimate of the obligation is made. If the carrying value of the financial guarantee contract is lower than the obligation, the carrying value is adjusted to the obligation amount and accounted for as a provision.

(c) Financial instruments (Cont’d)
(iv) Hedge accounting
Cash flow hedge
A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and could affect the profit or loss. In a cash flow hedge, the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss.
Subsequently, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity into profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast cash flows affect profit or loss. If the hedge item is a non-financial asset or liability, the associated gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is removed from equity and included in the initial amount of the asset or liability. However, loss recognised in other comprehensive income that will not be recovered in one or more future periods is reclassified from equity into profit or loss.
Cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the hedge is no longer highly effective, the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur or the hedge designation is revoked. If the hedge is for a forecast transaction, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, any related cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income on the hedging instrument is reclassified from equity into profit or loss.
(v) Derecognition
A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or control of the asset is not retained or substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred to another party. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in the profit or loss.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, 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 the profit or loss.
(d) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. 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. Costs also may include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

2. Significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
(d) Property, plant and equipment (Cont’d)
(i) Recognition and measurement (Cont’d)
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.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and is recognised net within “other operating income” and “other operating expenses” respectively in profit or loss.
(ii) Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a component 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 component will flow to the Group or the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognised to profit or loss. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, then that component is depreciated separately.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment from the date that they are available for use. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Property, plant and equipment under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Years
Buildings 30
Electrical installation and fittings 4 - 50
Factory equipment 3 - 10
Motor vehicles 5
Office equipment, furniture and fittings 3 - 20
Plant and machinery 5 - 10
The leasehold land of the Group are amortised over the lease period of 60 years. Leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease is classified as property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of the reporting period, and adjusted as appropriate.

2. Significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
(e) Leased assets
Operating lease
Leases, where the Group or the Company does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership are classified as operating leases and, except for property interest held under operating lease, the leased assets are not recognised on the statement of financial position. Property interest held under an operating lease, which is held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, is classified as investment property and measured using fair value model.
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the reporting period in which they are incurred.
(f) Intangible assets
(i) Computer software
Computer software are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
(ii) Research and development
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Expenditure on development activities, whereby the application of research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset.
The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and overheads costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. For qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs. Other development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
(iii) Amortisation
Amortisation is based on the cost of the asset less its residual value. Computer software are amortised on a straight-line basis over a period of 3 to 6 years while development expenditure are amortised on a straight-line basis over a period of 10 years. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted, if appropriate.
(g) Impairment
(i) Financial assets
All financial assets (except for financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss and investments in subsidiaries) are assessed at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised.

(g) Impairment (Cont’d)
(i) Financial assets (Cont’d)
An impairment loss in respect of loans and receivables is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
If, in a subsequent period, 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, to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The amount of the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Other assets
The carrying amounts of other assets (except for inventories and deferred tax assets) are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash-generating units.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. 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 or cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated to reduce the carrying amounts of the assets in the cash-generating unit (groups of cash-generating units) on a pro rata basis.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the financial year in which the reversals are recognised.
(h) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost of inventories is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of work-in-progress and manufactured inventories, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

2. Significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in fair value with original maturities of three months or less, and are used by the Group and the Company in the management of their short-term commitments.
(j) Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.
(i) Warranties
A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.
(ii) Onerous contracts
A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
(k) Revenue and other income
(i) Goods sold
Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognised as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognised.
(ii) Services
Revenue from services rendered is recognised when the services have been performed or rendered.
(iii) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s or the Company’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date.
(iv) Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method in profit or loss.

(k) Revenue and other income (Cont’d)
(v) Government grants
Government grants are recognised initially as deferred income at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant; they are then recognised in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are recognised.
(l) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
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.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or completed.
(m) Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Unutilised reinvestment allowance, being a tax incentive that is not a tax base of an asset, is recognised as a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that the future taxable profits will be available against the unutilised tax incentive can be utilised.

(n) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and sick leave are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(ii) State plans
The Group’s contributions to statutory pension funds are charged to profit or loss in the financial year to which they relate. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
(o) Earnings per ordinary share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares (“EPS”).
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes.
(p) 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. Operating segment results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker, which in this case is the Chief Executive Officer of the Group, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
(q) Equity instruments
Instruments classified as equity are measured at cost on initial recognition and are not remeasured subsequently.
(i) Issue expenses
Costs directly attributable to the issue of instruments classified as equity are recognised as a deduction from equity.
(ii) Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

2. Significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
(r) Compound financial instruments
A compound financial instrument is a non-derivative financial instrument that contains both a liability and an equity component.
Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise Irredeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan Stocks that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value.
The proceeds are first allocated to the liability component, determined based on the fair value of a similar liability that does not have a conversion feature or similar associated equity component. The residual amount is allocated as the equity component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured subsequent to initial recognition.
Interest and losses and gains relating to the financial liability are recognised in profit or loss. On conversion, the financial liability is reclassified to equity; no gain or loss is recognised on conversion.
(s) 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 not recognised in the statements of financial position and 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.
(t) Fair value measurements
Fair value of an asset or a liability, except for lease transactions, is determined as 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 measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement 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.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair value are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the input used in the valuation technique as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers.

25. Operating segment - Group
The Group has two reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s strategic business units. The strategic business units offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the strategic business units, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) (i.e. the Group’s Chief Executive Officer) reviews internal management reports at least on a quarterly basis. The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group’s reportable segments:
Aerospace Provides a dedicated end-to-end manufacturing solutions on critical engine parts and other related equipment parts
Equipment manufacturing Provides an array of equipment engineering and solutions for commercial, semiconductor and other industries
Performance is measured based on segment profit before tax as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the CODM. 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.
Segment assets
The total of segment asset is measured on all assets (including goodwill) of a segment, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the CODM. Segment total asset is used to measure the return on assets of each segment.
Segment liabilities
Segment liabilities information is neither included in the internal management reports nor provided regularly to the CODM. Hence, no disclosure is made on segment liabilities.

27. Financial instruments (Cont’d)
27.3 Financial risk management
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
• Credit risk• Liquidity risk• Market risk
27.4 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from its receivables from customers. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from advances to subsidiaries and financial guarantees given to banks for facilities granted to subsidiaries.
Receivables
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Normally, credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount.
Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from receivables is represented by the carrying amounts in the statements of financial position.
Management has taken reasonable steps to ensure that receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are stated at their realisable values. A significant portion of these receivables are regular customers that have been transacting with the Group. The Group uses ageing analysis to monitor the credit quality of the receivables. Any receivables having significant balances past due more than 120 days, which are deemed to have higher credit risk, are monitored individually.
The exposure to credit risk for trade receivables as at the end of the reporting period by geographical region was:

Receivables (Cont’d)
Impairment losses (Cont’d)
The Group does not have any significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty nor does it have any major concentration of credit risk other than the trade receivables due from 3 (2017: 3) customers which collectively amounted to 58% (2017: 79%) of the Group’s trade receivables.
The allowance account in respect of trade receivables is used to record impairment losses. Unless the Group is satisfied that recovery of the amount is possible, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against the receivable directly.
Inter-company advances
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Company provides unsecured advances to subsidiaries. The Company monitors the results of the subsidiaries regularly.
Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying amounts in the statement of financial position.
Impairment losses
During the financial year 2018, the Company made an impairment loss of RM10,000 (2017: Nil) for amount due from a subsidiary.
The Company does not specifically monitor the ageing of advances to the subsidiaries. These advances are not considered to be overdue and are repayable on demand.
Financial guarantees
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Company provides unsecured financial guarantees to banks in respect of banking facilities granted to certain subsidiaries. The Company monitors on an ongoing basis the results of the subsidiaries and repayments made by the subsidiaries.
Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral
The maximum exposure to credit risk amounted to RM18.4 million (2017: Nil) representing the outstanding banking facilities to certain subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period.
As at the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that any subsidiary would default on repayment. The financial guarantees have not been recognised since the fair value on initial recognition was not material.
27.5 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises principally from its various payables, loans and borrowings.
The Group maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents and bank facilities deemed adequate by the management to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they fall due.
It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts.

27.6 Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Group’s financial position or cash flows.
27.6.1 Currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group entities. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily U.S. Dollar (“USD”), Singapore Dollar (“SGD”), Euro Dollar (“EURO”) and Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”).
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Group uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its foreign currency risk arising from sales and purchases denominated in foreign currency. Most of the forward exchange contracts have maturities of less than two years after the end of reporting period. Where necessary, the forward exchange contracts are rolled over at maturity.
Exposure to foreign currency risk
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency (a currency which is other than the functional currency of the Group entities) risk, based on carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period was:

27.6.1 Currency risk (Cont’d)
Currency risk sensitivity analysis
A 5% (2017: 5%) strengthening of the functional currency of Group entities against the following currencies at the end of the reporting period would have increased/(decreased) post-tax profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remained constant and ignores any impact on forecasted sales and purchases. There is no impact to equity arising from exposure to currency risk.

A 5% (2017: 5%) weakening of the functional currency of Group entities against the above currencies at the end of the reporting period would have had equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remained constant.
27.6.2 Interest rate risk
The Group’s fixed rate deposits and borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes in interest rates. Short term receivables and payables are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk
The interest rate profile of the Group’s significant interest earning and interest-bearing financial instruments, based on carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period was:

2017RM’000

Floating rate instruments
Financial liabilities
- Term loan 12,120 - - -
- Onshore foreign currency loans 6,292 - - -
18,412 - - -
(a) Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments
The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the Group does not designate derivatives as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would not affect profit or loss.
(b) Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk
At the reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points lower/higher, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post-tax profit or loss would have been RM69,966 (2017: Nil) 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.
27.7 Fair value information
The carrying amounts of cash and bank balances, short term receivables and payables and short term borrowings reasonably approximate their fair values due to the relatively short term nature of these financial instruments.
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value and those not carried at fair value for which fair value is disclosed, together with their fair values and carrying amounts shown in the statements of financial position.

27.7 Fair value information (Cont’d)
Policy on transfer between levels
The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
There has been no transfer between the levels in fair value during the financial year (2017: no transfer in either direction).
Level 2 fair value
Level 2 fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the financial assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 fair value
Level 3 fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs for the financial assets and liabilities.
Non-derivative financial liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the end of the reporting period. The carrying amount of floating rate loans and borrowings approximate fair value as their effective interest rates change accordingly to movements in the market interest rate.
28. Capital management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to maintain a strong capital base and safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business.
There was no change in the Group’s approach to capital management during the financial year.
29. Operating leases
Leases as lessee
Non-cancellable operating lease rentals are payable as follows:

147 SAM ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT (M) BERHAD
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of SAM Engineering & Equipment (M) Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial position as at 31 March 2018 of the Group and of the Company, and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as set out on pages 72 to 145.
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 March 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 auditors’ report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence and Other Ethical Responsibilities
We are independent of the Group and of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-Laws”) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current financial year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Valuation of inventories-Group
Refer to the accounting policy in Note 2(h) - Inventories and Note 9 - Inventories to the financial statements.
The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
The Group’s inventories amounted to RM179 million as at 31 March 2018 in the statement of financial position which represented 27% of the Group’s total assets.
The inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Identifying and determining the appropriate write down of the inventories to net realisable value required judgement by the Group.
We have identified the valuation of inventories as a key audit matter because judgements made by the Group are affected by external and market considerations which are inherently uncertain.
We have performed the following audit procedures, among others:
• Attended the year end physical inventory counts to identify whether any inventories were damaged;
• Assessed whether items in the system generated inventory ageing reports were classified within the appropriate ageing bracket;
• Checked the inventory impairment calculations prepared by the Group that they appropriately took into account the ageing profile of the inventories;
• Compared the inventory provision made by the Group to the Materials Review Board reports; and
• Tested samples of inventories-in-progress and manufactured inventories to sales subsequent to the year end and checked that they were sold at higher than the carrying amount.
• Evaluated the historical accuracy of the Group’s inventories written down by comparing prior year’s estimate to actual results.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated for the Company in our report.

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 annual report 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 annual report and, in doing so, consider whether the annual report 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 the annual report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Statements
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia. The Directors are also responsible for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Company that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, the Directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and of the Company 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 internal control of the Group and of the Company.
• 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 ability of the Group or of the Company 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.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (Cont’d)
• 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 gives a true and fair view.
• 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.
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 auditors’ report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia, we report that the subsidiaries of which we have not acted as auditors are disclosed in Note 5 to the financial statements.
Other Matter
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.
