The proposed Ordinary Resolution no. 6 is a renewal of the mandate given to the Company by the shareholders at the previous Annual General Meeting held on 26 June 2009, if duly passed, will give the Directors of the Company the flexibility to issue and allot new shares in the Company up to an amount not exceeding in total 10% of the issued share capital of the Company for such purposes as the Directors consider would be in the interest of the Company. This authority, unless revoked or varied at a general meeting, will expire at the conclusion of next Annual General Meeting of the Company.

The Company continues to consider opportunities to broaden its earnings potential. If any of the expansion/ diversification proposals involves the issue of new shares, the Directors, under certain circumstance when the opportunity arises, would have to convene a general meeting to approve the issue of new shares even though the number involved may be less than 10% of the issued capital.

In order to avoid any delay and costs involved in convening a general meeting to approve such issue of shares, it is thus considered appropriate that the Directors be empowered to issue shares in the Company, up to any amount not exceeding in total 10% of the issued share capital of the Company for the time being, for such purposes. The renewed authority for allotment of shares will provide flexibility to the Company for the allotment of shares for the purpose of funding future investment, working capital and/or acquisitions.

No shares have been issued and allotted by the Company since obtaining the said authority from its shareholders at the last Annual General Meeting held on 26 June 2009.

NotesA. This Agenda item is meant for discussion only as the provision of Section 169(1) of the Companies Act,

1965 and the Company’s Articles of Association do not require a formal approval of the shareholders and hence, is not put forward for voting.

1. A member entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote in his/her stead. A member may appoint up to two proxies to attend the same meeting provided that he specifies the proportion of his shareholding to be represented by each proxy. A proxy may but need not be a member of the Company and a member may appoint any person to be his proxy and the provisions of Section 149(1)(a) & (b) of the Companies Act, 1965 shall not apply.

2. Where a member is an authorised nominee as defined under the Security Industry (Central Depositories) Act, 1991, it may appoint at least one (1) proxy in respect of each Securities account it holds with ordinary shares of the Company standing to the credit of the said securities account.

3. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointer or his attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the appointer is a corporation, either under the Corporation’s Common Seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney so authorized.

4. The Form of Proxy must be deposited at the Registered Office of the Company at Level 15-2, Faber Imperial Court, Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur not less than 48 hours before the time set for holding the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present to you the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements of Kamdar Group (M) Berhad (Kamdar or the Group) for the year ended 31 December 2009.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

For 2009, Kamdar achieved commendable results despite the difficult and challenging retail business environment.

For the year ended 31 December 2009, Kamdar achieved a consolidated revenue of RM193 million which is 6% higher compared to the previous year. This resulted in Kamdar’s earnings before tax of RM26 million and profit after tax of RM19 million representing 73% and 130.5% growth respectively over the previous year’s earnings and achieving an earnings per share of 11.5 sen.

The Group is also pleased to announce that it has fully settled its RM60 million bonds on 10 November 2009.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The severe global financial crisis which adversely affected the economies worldwide also negatively affected Malaysia’s economy in the first three quarters of 2009. The retail industry, too, was not spared as the crisis affected consumer spending and behavior, but Kamdar was fortunate that the government had taken proactive measures by introducing stimulus packages that produced a positive impact on the economy.

The growth in retail sales in 2009 was contributed by both the same stores of 7% as well as contribution of 1% from the new Kamdar stores at IOI Mall, Puchong and S18, Ipoh. Both these stores opened in the second half of 2009 and will continue to perform better in 2010. There are further plans to expand Kamdar’s branch network locally to areas that Kamdar is not present in order to serve new customers.

The Group also expanded its wings by investing a 45% stake in Mayfair Fabric & Linen (PTY) Ltd (a company incorporated in South Africa, whose principal activities are retailing of textiles and textile related products) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Kamdar South Sdn Bhd.

PROSPECTS

The Malaysian economy has exhibited signs of improvement from the third quarter of 2009 and the pace of the economic recovery is expected to gain momentum and contribute positively to the recovery of the domestic economy. The Group is, however, mindful of the prevailing uncertainties and difficulties in the competitive environment and will continue to implement the rationalization of its operations by enhancing efficiencies and effectiveness of the operations and optimization of the utilization of resources.

Kamdar will continue to leverage on its established brand and presence to further boost and expand its business by focusing on strategies to improve merchandising, improving human resources productivity and sales floor management to deliver better customer comfort and service.

I also would like to express my gratitude to our valued customers, business associates, bankers, government authorities and shareholders for their continuous support and confidence in Kamdar and what it stands for.

God Bless…………..

KAMDAR GROUP (M) BERHADStatement of Internal Control

The Board of Directors of Kamdar Group (M) Berhad (“the Board”) is committed in maintaining a sound system of internal controls throughout the Group and is pleased to provide the following statement which outlines the nature and scope of internal control of the Group during the year under review.

This Statement on Internal Control is made in accordance with the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance and paragraph 15.26 (b) of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Listing Requirements, which requires Malaysian public listed companies to make a statement about their state of internal control, as a Group, in their annual report.

The Board believes the practice of good corporate governance is an important continuous process and not just a matter to be covered as compliance in its Annual Report. Hence, the Board endeavours to maintain an adequate system of internal control that is designed to manage, rather than eliminate risk, and to improve the governance process of the Group.

2. Board Responsibility

1. Introduction

The Board acknowledges its overall responsibility for the internal control system to cover the financial, compliance and operational controls of the Group. The Board also recognizes its responsibility for reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the system of internal control to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the Group’s assets. However, it should be noted that such a system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

3. Risk Management Framework

The Board maintains the Group’s risk management policy and framework to continually update and identify the various risk factors that could have a potentially significant impact on the Group’s mid to long term business objectives.

The Board, throughout the current financial year, has identified, evaluated and managed the significant risks faced by the Group through monitoring of the Group’s operational efficiency and profitability at its Board Meetings.

4. Internal Audit FunctionCGRM Infocomm Sdn Bhd (“CGRM”), an independent professional firm, supports the Audit Committee, and by extension, the Board, by providing independent assurance on the effectiveness of the Group’s system of internal control.

In particular, CGRM appraises and contributes towards improving the Group’s risk management and control systems and reports to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis. In assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of the system of internal control and financial control procedures of the Group, the Audit Committee reports to the Board on its activities, significant audit results or findings and the necessary recommendations or actions needed to be taken by management to rectify those issues.

The internal audit work plan, which reflects the risk profile of the Group’s major business sectors is routinely reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee. The scope of CGRM’s function covered the audit and review of governance, risk assessment, compliance, operational and financial control across all business units. CGRM refers to the requirements of the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) issued by The Institute of Internal Auditors.

5. Key ProcessStatement of Internal Control (Cont’d)

The Board confirms that there was an on-going process for identifying, evaluating and managing significant risks of the Group for the financial year under review. The Board has assigned to the Audit Committee the duty of reviewing and monitoring the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control system.

The embedded control system is designed to facilitate achievement of the Group’s business objectives. It comprises the underlying control environment, control process, communication and monitoring systems.

The Group’s key internal control processes were assessed based on the principles of COSO1 Internal Controls – Integrated Framework as follows:

Control Environment

The Group has established clear organization structures with reporting lines of responsibilities clearly indicated throughout its outlets nationwide. There is adequate upper level managerial support wherein, the Directors are directly and actively involved in business operations.

Reporting lines lead upwards from Branch and Regional Managers to the Senior Management team at Headquarters. This set forth sound integrity, ethical values and good corporate governance as standard conduct from senior management.

Management considers increasing its staff strength to boost support in the merchandiser function to provide better variety of goods / merchandise to its customers which is tantamount to achieving the Group’s objectives.

Risk Assessment

The Board has been consistent in maintaining its overall responsibility to ensure that systems are in place to effectively monitor and manage the Group’s business risk and to continually update and identify the various and continuously changing risk factors that could have a potentially significant impact on profitability and long term business objectives. Risk Management refresher course was conducted in March 2010 for the benefit of the new members of the Risk Management Committee (RMC) and to assess the risks of the Group in light of the current economic downturn. The identified risks will then updated in the Risk Catalogue and reported to Senior Management and the Board.

Control Activities

Management is in the process of establishing a formal and documented guideline to be adopted as the Group-wide Standard Operating Policies and Procedures to streamline business and operational activities and processes.

The integrated Navision system will support daily business operations as well as the achievement of financial reporting objectives.

Information and Communication

Management promotes good working relationship at all levels by ensuring information and communication channels are open and sinuous with the needs of the organization. The system integration exercise which will give greater enhancement to the Group’s financial reporting and monitoring function while providing real-time information for decision making purposes is expected to be completed by the end of the Quarter 1, 2010.Regular branch operation meetings are held as a formal platform for Branch Managers to communicate operational directives obtained from headquarters and to discuss matters relating to their respective branch’s performances. Where necessary, internal memorandums are issued to all outlets as a form of communicating and enforcement of new directives from Management.

Statement of Internal Control (Cont’d)

Standard and pre-established templates and reporting formats are utilised in the preparation of monthly financial and departmental reports by all outlets to ensure that key data are captured and reported to Headquarters.

Monitoring

Management, together with internal audit, constantly monitors the gaps and highlighted issues through the conduct of follow-up audits and had showed its commitment to improve on current processes and internal controls.

6. Conclusion

The Management has improved and taken measures and maintains an ongoing commitment to strengthen the Group’s control environment and processes. During the year, there were no material losses caused by breakdown in internal controls. It should be appreciated that the system of internal control only provide reasonable assurance in managing business risks rather than eliminating them and there is no absolute assurance towards material misstatement or loss

The External Auditors have reviewed this Statement on Internal Control for the inclusion in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2009 and reported to the Board that nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the statement is inconsistent with their understanding of the process adopted by the Board in reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the system of internal controls.

This statement was made in accordance with a resolution of the Board dated 19th April 2010.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF KAMDAR GROUP (M) BERHAD (Incorporated in Malaysia) Company No: 577740 A

Independent Auditors’ Report

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements of Kamdar Group (M) Berhad, which comprise the balance sheets of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2009, and the income statements, statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements of the Group and of the Company for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 31 to 73.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Financial StatementsThe directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditors’ ResponsibilitiesOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

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

OpinionIn our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2009 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the financial year then ended.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2009

Notes To The Financial Statements

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia and Financial Reporting Standards issued by Malaysian Accounting Standard Board (“MASB”).

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIESThe Group’s financial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the development of the Group’s businesses whilst managing its risks. The Group operates within clearly defined guidelines that are approved by the Board and the Group’s guidelines are not to engage in speculative transactions.

The main areas of financial risks faced by the Group and the policy in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are set out as follows:-

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Foreign currency riskThe Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of its normal external trading activities where the currency denomination differs from the local currency, Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”). The Group’s guidelines are to minimise the exposure to foreign currency risk by monitoring and approving requisitions which involve foreign currencies.

Interest rate riskThe Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in the interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s bank borrowings from licensed banks. The Group’s policy is to manage its interest costs by obtaining the most favourable interest rates on its borrowings. Surplus funds of the Group are invested with licensed bank such as fixed deposits to generate interest income.

Credit riskThe credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures and an internal credit review is conducted if the credit risk is material.

Market riskFor key product purchases, the Group establishes floating price levels that the Group considers acceptable and enters physical supply to achieve these levels. The Group does not face significant exposure from the risk of changes in price levels.

Liquidity and cash flow risksThe Group seeks to achieve a balance between certainty of funding even in difficult times for the markets of the Group and a flexible, cost-effective borrowing structure. This is to ensure that at the minimum, all projected net borrowing needs are covered by committed facilities. Also, the objective for debt maturity is to ensure that the amount of debt maturing in any one year is not beyond the Group’s means to repay and refinance.

FRS 4, Amendment to FRS 120, Amendment to FRS 129, Amendments to FRS 138, Amendments to FRS 138 (#), Amendments to FRS 140, IC Interpretation 11, 12 (#), 14, 15, and 17(#) are not expected to be relevant to the operations of the Group and of the Company. The directors anticipate that the other FRS, amendments to FRS and IC Interpretations will be adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the financial year commencing 1 January 2010 and that the adoption of these new/revised FRS, amendments to FRS and IC Interpretations will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company in the period for initial application except for the following:

Notes To The Financial Statements (Cont’d)

FRS 3 Business Combination

The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. All payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the income statement. There is a choice to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed.

All the above Amendments, IC Interpretations and FRSs will be effective for accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2010, other than FRS 8, those marked with (^), (#) and (@) which will be applicable to accounting period beginning on or after 1 July 2009, 1 March 2010, 1 July 2010 and 1 January 2011 respectively. Existing FRS1, FRS3, FRS127 as well as FRS2012004 will be withdrawn upon adoption of new requirements effective from 1 July 2010.

KAMDAR GROUP (M) BHD39

(b) Adoption of Revised Financial Reporting Standards (“FRSs”) (cont’d)

FRS 7 and the consequential Amendment to FRS 101 - Presentation of Financial Statements require disclosure of information about the significance of financial instruments for the Group’s and of the Company’s financial position and performance, nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and the objectives, policies and processes for managing capital

FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures

FRS 8, which replaces FRS 1142004 - Segment Reporting, requires the identification of operating segments based on internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. Currently, the Group identifies two sets of segments (business and geopgraphical) using a risks and rewards approach, with the Group’s system of internal financial reporting to key management personnel serving only as the starting point for the identification of such segments. As a result, following the adoption of FRS 8, the identification of the Group’s reportable segments may change.

FRS 123 eliminates the option available under the previous version of FRS 123 to recognise all borrowing costs immediately as an expense. The Group and the Company shall capitalise borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset.

Page 41: KAMDAR-Annualreport2009 (1.7MB)

FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement

FRS 139 establishes principles for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy and sell non-financial items. By virtue of the exemption in paragraph 103AB of FRS 139, the impact on the financial statements upon first adoption of this standard as require by paragraph 30(b) of FRS 108, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors is not disclosed, if any.

(c) Significant accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial statements. They affect the application of the Group's accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual result may differ from these estimates.

IC Interpretation 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners

This interpretation provides guidance on accounting for arrangements whereby an entity distributes non-cash assets to shareholders either as a distribution of reserves or as dividends. The Company should measure the dividend payable at the fair value of the assets to be distributed when the dividend is appropriately authorised and is no longer at the discretion of the Company. On settlement of the dividend, the difference between the dividend paid and the carrying amount of the assets distributed is recognised in profit or loss. If the dividend remains unpaid at the end of the financial year end, the dividend payable carrying amount is reviewed with any changes recognised in equity.

FRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is remeasured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Losses are required to allocate to non-controlling interests, even if it results in the non-controlling interest to be in a deficit position.

KAMDAR GROUP (M) BHD 40

Key sources of estimation on uncertaintyThe key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:-

Income taxes or Deferred tax liabilitiesThe Group is exposed to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is involved in determining the provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognised tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(c) Significant accounting estimates and judgements (cont’d)

Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unutilised tax losses, unabsorbed capital allowances and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which all deductible temporary differences, unutilised tax losses, unabsorbed capital allowances and unused tax credits can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the property, plant and equipment are based on commercial and production factors which could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors’ actions in response to the market conditions.

Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.

The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the property, plant and equipment are based on commercial and production factors which could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors’ actions in response to the market conditions.

Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.

Allowance for inventoriesReviews are made periodically by management on damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventories. These reviews require judgement and estimates. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revision to the valuation of inventories.

Notes To The Financial Statements (Cont’d)

(d) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprises the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies as at the balance sheet date. The financial statements of the subsidiary companies are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company.

Acquisition of subsidiary companies are accounted for using the purchase method except for Kamdar (South) Sdn. Bhd., Kamdar Sdn. Bhd., Pusat Membeli-belah Kamdar Sdn. Bhd., Pusat Membeli-belah Kamdar (Penang) Sdn. Bhd. and Kesar Sdn. Bhd. Which are consolidated using merger method of accounting.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the results of subsidiary companies acquired are included in the consolidated income statements from the date on which the control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the acquisition to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued, plus any cost directly attributable to the acquisition.

Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities represent goodwill. Any excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in the income statements

Under the merger method of accounting, the results of the subsidiary companies are accounted on a full year basis irrespective of the date of merger. The difference between the nominal value of shares issued as consideration for the merger and the nominal value of the shares received will be adjusted against reserves.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, intragroup balances, transactions and unrealised gain or losses are eliminated in full. Uniform accounting policies are adopted in the consolidated financial statements for the like transaction and events in similar circumstances.

(e) Subsidiary companies

Subsidiary companies are entities over which the Group or the Company has the ability to control the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group has such power over another entity.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiary companies are stated at cost less impairment losses. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the subsidiary company is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of such investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is charged or credited to the income statements.

Notes To The Financial Statements (Cont’d)

(f) Associate companyAn associate company is a company in which the Group or the Company has a long term equity interest of between 20 to 50 percent and is in the position to exercise significant influence over its financial and operating policies through management participation but not to exert control over those policies.

Investment in associate companies are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using equity accounting which involves recognising in the income statement the Group’s share of the results of associate company based on audited or management financial statements of the associate company. The Group’s investments in associate company are carried in the balance sheet at an amount that reflects its share of the net assets of the associate company. Equity accounting is discontinued when the carrying amount of the investment in an associate company reaches zero, unless the Group has incurred obligations or guaranteed obligations in respect of the associate company.

Investment in associate company is stated at cost in the Company’s balance sheet. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the associate company is assessed and written down immediately to their recoverable amount.

(g) Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost. Subsequently, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. It is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

(h) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment loss is in accordance with Note 3 (y).

KAMDAR GROUP (M) BHD 43

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Freehold land is not depreciated. All other property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives to write off the cost of each property, plant and equipment. The principal annual rates of depreciation used are as follows:-

7.5% – 10%

5% – 50%20%

7.5% – 10%10% – 20%

Restoration cost relating to an item of property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if such expenditure is expected to increase the future benefits from the existing property, plant and equipment beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Notes To The Financial Statements (Cont’d)

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation (cont’d)

Property, plant and equipment are written down to recoverable amount if, in the opinion of the Directors, it is less than their carrying value. Recoverable amount is the net selling price of the property, plant and equipment i.e. the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each balance sheet date to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment. If expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a charge in an accounting estimate.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any and the net carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

(i) Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Notes To The Financial Statements (Cont’d)

Disposal groups or non-current assets are deemed to be held for sale if their carrying amount is recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

A component of the Group is classified as discontinued operation when the criteria to be classified as held for sale have been met or it has been disposed off and such a component represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinate major line of business or geographical area of operations or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

Classification of the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale occurs only when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary and sale must be highly probable. Management must be committed to a plan to sell the assets which are expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. Action required to complete the plan should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn.

Immediately before the initial recognition of the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the assets (or all the assets and liabilities in the Group) are measured in accordance with the applicable FRSs. Upon classification as held for sale, a non-current assets and disposals group is measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell and is not depreciated. Any differences are recognised in the income statement.

(j) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value less allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Cost includes an appropriate portion of freight charges and custom duties and generally determined on a first-in-first out basis.

(k) Provisions for liabilities

Provisions for liabilities are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation.

(l) Receivables

Trade and other receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. Known bad debts are written off and specific allowance is made for debts which are considered doubtful of collection.

(m) PayablesTrade and other payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received.

(n) Revenue recognitionRevenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably.

i) Sale of goodsRevenue relating to sale of goods is recognised net of sales returns and discounts upon the transfer of risks and rewards.

ii) Rental income Revenue from property investment is recognised based on rental received and receivable from letting of properties.

(n) Revenue recognition (cont’d)iii) Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis that reflects the effective yield on the asset.

iv) Dividend incomeDividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment has been established and no significant uncertainty existed with regard to its receipt.

(o) Foreign currency conversion and translation

The financial statements are presented in Malaysia Ringgit, which is also the functional currency of the holding company.

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Ringgit Malaysia at rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates ruling at balance sheet date.

The assets and liabilities of the foreign entities, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisitions, are translated to Ringgit Malaysia at the closing rates at the balance sheet date. The operating results are translated to Ringgit Malaysia at the exchange rates at the average rates during the financial year.

Gains and losses resulting from settlement of such transactions and conversion of monetary assets and liabilities, whether realised or unrealised, are included in the income statement as they arise.

Financial statements of foreign consolidated subsidiary companies are translated at year-end exchange rates with respect to the assets and liabilities. All resulting translation differences are included in the foreign exchange reserve in shareholders’ equity.

On disposal of a foreign entity, the cumulative amount of exchange differences deferred in equity relating to that foreign entity is recognised in the income statement as a component of the gain or loss on disposal.

All other foreign exchange differences are taken to the income statement in the financial year in which they arise.

The principal closing rates of exchange of the foreign currencies applicable in the preparation of the financial statements were as follows:-

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(p) Equity instrumentsOrdinary shares are classified as equity which are recorded at the nominal value and proceeds in excess of the nominal value of shares issued, if any, are accounted for as share premium. Both ordinary shares and share premium are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognized as liabilities when declared.

The transaction costs of an equity transaction which comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(q) Income taxIncome tax on the profit or loss for the financial year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax expense is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the financial year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are provided for under the liability method at the current tax rate in respect of all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base including unused tax losses and capital allowances.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date. If it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or that entire deferred tax asset to be utilised, the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset will be reduced accordingly. When it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available, such reductions will be reversed to the extent of the taxable profit.

Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged or credited directly in equity, or when it arises from a

business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

(r) Financial instrumentsFinancial instruments carried on the balance sheets include cash and bank balances, investments, receivables, payables, bank borrowings and convertible loan stocks. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual accounting policy statements associated with each item.

Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrumentclassified as liability are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity. as equity are charged directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(s) Convertible loan stocks

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Convertible loan stocks are regarded as compound instruments, consisting of a liability component and an equity component. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible loan stocks. The differences between the proceeds of issue of the convertible loan stocks and the fair value assigned to the liability component, representing the conversion option is included in the shareholders’ equity. The liability component is subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method until extinguished on conversion whilst the value of the equity component is not adjusted in subsequent periods. Attributable transaction costs are apportioned and deductible directly from the liability and equity component based on their carrying amounts at the date of issue.

Under the effective interest rate method, the interest expense on the liability component is calculated by applying the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible loan stocks to the instrument. The difference between this amount and the interest paid is added to the carrying value of the convertible loan stocks.

(t) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, bank balances, demand deposits, fixed deposits pledged to financial institutions, bank overdrafts and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

u) Employee benefits

(i) Short term benefitsWages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences, and short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

(ii) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans such as Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”) are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred.

(v) Intersegment transfers

Segment revenues, expenses and result include transfers between segments. The prices charged on intersegment transactions are the same as those charged for similar goods to parties outside of the economic entity at an arm’s length transactions. These transfers are eliminated on consolidation.

(w) Assets acquired under lease agreements

Accounting by lesseesFinance leasesThe cost of property, plant and equipment acquired under hire purchase arrangements are capitalised.The depreciation policy on these property, plant and equipment is similar to that of the Group’s property , plant and equipment depreciation policy. Outstanding obligations due under the hire purchase arrangements after deducting finance expenses are included as liabilities in the financial statements. Finance charges on hire purchase agreements are allocated to income statement over the period of the respective agreements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(x) Interest-bearing borrowingsInterest-bearing borrowings are recorded at the amount of proceeds received net of transaction cost. Borrowing costs are charged to the income statement as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

(y) Impairment of assetsAt each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Intangible asset with indefinite useful life such as goodwill is tested for impairment annually at financial year end or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.

If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised whenever the recoverable amount of the asset or a cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount. Recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the income statement in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement immediately, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of any unutilised previously recognised revaluation surplus for the same asset.

An assessment is made at each balance sheet date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior financial years.

All reversals of impairment losses are recognised as income immediately in the income statement unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal in excess of impairment loss previously recognised through the income statement is treated as revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the revised carrying amount of the asset, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

An impairment loss recognised for goodwill shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.

(z) Repairs and maintenanceRepairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement as and when incurred. Major renewals and improvements which extended the useful lives of plant and equipment are capitalised.

(aa) DividendsDividends on ordinary shares are accounted for in shareholders’ equity as an appropriation of unappropriated profits in the financial period in which they are declared and approved.
