Chairman’s Statement

Dear Valued Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors,it is my pleasure to presentthe Company’s Annual Report andthe Audited Financial Statementsfor the nancial year ended30 September 2014.

Financial Review For the nancial year ended 30 September 2014, the Group registered a decrease in the consolidated revenue to RM1.768 billion, a drop of RM121.0 million or 6.4% as compared to the previous year’s revenue of RM1.889 billion. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to on-going programme to renovate, refurbish and upgrade certain outlets, softening market and weaker customer spending.

Correspondingly, the Group’s net pro t is RM20.381 million which was a slightly decrease by 1.89% over RM20.774 million registered in the previous year, translating to an earning per shares of 29.76 sen. The drop in the net pro t was due to higher tax expense estimated.

The Group’s balance sheet remained healthy with cash and bank balances of RM183.934 million, while shareholder’s equity increased 3.95% to RM465.710 million from RM447.993 million in the previous year.

Delivering Shareholders’ Value As part of the Group’s on-going effort to return value to shareholders, the Board has proposed a rst and nal single tier dividend of 3.75 sen per ordinary share for the nancial year 2014. The Group will continue to strive to maintain an optimal balance between a reasonable return to our shareholders and conserving suf cient resources to support long term growth of the Group.

The proposed dividend will be subject to the shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Operational Review The Group will continue to leverage on its competitive strengths and grow its business, both organically and through new store expansions. We will continue to provide a refreshing shopping outlook to our customers through refurbishment and upgrade of some of its existing outlets. In the last nancial year, we had completed the renovation of 6 outlets and currently the outlets that are still undergoing its renovations are outlets at Klang (Shaw Centrepoint), Seremban (Centre Point), Johor Bahru (Taman Tun Aminah) and Tawau, Sabah.

The Group further brings new level of shopping experience and lifestyles to the communities in Taiping, Perak with the opening of its 4-Level supermarket and departmental store under the Paci c banner at Taiping Mall which is the 9th Paci c outlet and the 74th outlet in the Group in Malaysia. This outlet is an anchor tenant in the mall with occupied net lettable approximate areas of 130,803 sq. ft. It had its soft opening on 21 July 2014.

Last year, the Group had launched a Price Reduction Campaign by slashing the selling price of more than 10,000 items ranging from daily essential item to non-essential items to support the call from the Government through the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry to ease the burden of the high cost of living. The Group will continue to take pro-active measures in responses to our Government’s directive and embrace in good corporate governance.

Corporate Development On 30 April 2014, the Company had completed the disposal of the entire investment in its wholly-owned subsidiary, SB Mall Sdn Bhd to Goldleaf Synergy Sdn Bhd for a gain of RM4.4 million and RM1.06 milion recognised in the Company and Group respectively.

Corporate Social Responsibility The Board continues to uphold our commitment to undertake responsible practices which focuses on sustainability and good Corporate Governance. The Group has put in efforts towards the well-being of its employees, community and environment and strives to balance its social responsibility to the society with its business objectives and performance greater accountability.

The corporate social responsibility initiatives are set out separately in the Statement on Corporate Social Responsibility in this Annual Report.

Strategic Outlook This year retail industries will remain dif cult and challenging with the Government’s constants reminders of reductions or withdrawal of subsidiaries and uncertainties on the impact of the Goods & Services Tax (GST) implementation with effect from 1 April this year. However, the Group will endeavor to continue its efforts in enhancing operational ef ciency and effectiveness by putting in place stringent cost control measures, pursue to increase market share in terms of quality, pricing and achieve a wide range of product varieties.

We expect the domestic economy to remain positive due to the resilient domestic consumption and the support of private investment.

AcknowledgementThe strength of the Group rests with its strong leadership supported by a loyal and united workforce for persevering through a tough year together. It is my sincere hope that these strengths are carried through in the future.

My sincere gratitude and heartfelt thanks to our loyal shareholders as well as our customers, suppliers and business associates for their continuing invaluable trust and unwavering con dence in our Group over the past years. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow directors for their valuable advices, contributions and commitments in leading the Group. On behalf of the Board, I would like to record our gratitude to Mr. Kam Teh Chung, our executive director who had retired in March 2014 and we wish him well for the future.

Thank you.

The Board remains committed to ensure that the high standards of Corporate Governance (“CG”) set out in Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 (“the Code”) are practised throughout the Group with the ultimate objective of enhancing shareholders’ value through building a sustainable business.

To this end, the Board is pleased to present the following statement which outlines the key aspects of the application of the Principles set out in the Code and the extent of compliance by the Company with the best practices as set out in the Code.

PRINCIPLE 1- ESTABLISH CLEAR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Board has the overall responsibility for the stewardship of business and affairs of the Group. The Board is committed to assume the following roles and responsibilities speci ed in the Code when discharging its leadership responsibilities:

* Reviewing and adopting a strategic plan for the Group ;

* Overseeing the conduct of the Group’s business to evaluate whether the business is being properly managed;

* Identifying the principal risks and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks;

* Succession planning, including appointing, training, xing the compensation of and where appropriate, replacing key management;

* Developing and implementation of a Corporate Disclosure Policy;

* Reviewing the adequacy and the integrity of the Group’s internal control systems and information systems, including systems for compliance with applicable laws, regulations, rules, directives and guidelines;

* Monitoring and reviewing management processes aimed at ensuring the integrity of nancial and other reporting; and

* Ensuring that the Company’s nancial statements are true and fair and conform to the accounting standards.

The Board has delegated the authorities and responsibilities for the day-to-day operation of business to the Managing Director and executive directors who are representing the management. The executive directors lead the senior management team in making and implementing the Board’s decisions, managing resources and risks in pursuing the corporate objective of the Group.

The independent directors are independent from management and are free from any business or other relationships which could interfere with the exercise of independent judgment or ability to act in the best interest of the Company. The presence of independent voice on the Board ensures that objectivity in decision making of the Board is achieved and that no single party can dominate such decision making in the Company.

The Board has delegated certain responsibilities to its committees which operate within clearly de ned terms of reference. All Board committees do not have executive powers but report to the Board on all matters considered and the ultimate responsibility for decision making on recommendation presented to the Board lies with the Board. The details of the Board Committees are set out in Principle 2 in the next section.

Separation of Position of the Chairman and Managing Director

The Chairman of the Company is an independent non-executive director. The roles and responsibilities of the Chairman and Managing Director are distinct and separated to ensure there is an appropriate balance of power and authority with clear division of responsibility and accountability. The Chairman is primarily focused on Governance while the Managing Director, with the assistance of executive directors, is generally focused on the business and its day-to-day operations.

The Board does not consider it necessary to nominate a recognized senior independent non-executive director to whom any concerns may be conveyed, in view of the present independent element of the Board composition and the segregation of the roles of the Chairman and Managing Director.

Code of Conduct/Ethics and Board Charter

The Board continues to adhere to the Code of Ethics which set out the standard of CG with the aim to cultivate good ethical conducts throughout the Group. The Board recognizes the importance of adhering to the Code of Ethics.

The Board recognizes the importance of establishing a single source of reference for Board activities through a Board Charter. As such, the Board will review its charter regularly, to keep it up-to-date with new changes in regulations and best practices and to ensure its effectiveness and relevance to the Board’s objectives.

The salient features of the Code of Ethics and Board Charter are accessible by the public throughout the Company website.

PRINCIPLE 2 - STRENGTHEN COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD

The Board presently has seven members comprising:

i) The Chairman (Independent Non-Executive)ii) 3 Executive Directorsiii) 3 Independent Non-Executive Directors

The present composition of the Board is in compliance with the Listing Requirements whereby at least two directors or one-third of the Board must be independent directors.

A brief pro le of each director is presented on pages 29 to 30 of this Annual Report.

The Group maintains its current mix of Board which is well represented by individuals with diverse professional background and experience in the areas of nancial, legal and law, management and retail experience to facilitate Board and Committees deliberations. There is no individual or group of individuals who dominates the Board’s decision-making. The balance enables the Board to provide clear and effective leadership to the Company and to bring independent judgment to various aspects of the Company’s strategies and performance.

The Board concluded that the number of members fairly re ects the interests of its shareholders and other stakeholders. The Board, having reviewed its size and composition, is also satis ed that it is effective for proper functioning of the Board.

Nominating Committee (“NC”)

The NC has been established since 2001. It comprises three independent non-executive directors. The membership of the Committee has not changed since the last report. The NC is responsible for nominating new candidates to the Board and to ensure proper Board balance and size as well as to review the required mix of skills, experiences and other competencies and make its recommendations to the Board accordingly. The Board will implement the process, which is to be carried out by the NC, for assessing the effectiveness of the individual directors and the Board as a whole.

PRINCIPLE 3 - ANNUAL ASSESSMENT OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

The Board has established evaluation on an annual basis of Independent Directors to ensure compliance with the requirements of Independent Directors as set out in the Listing Requirements and the effectiveness and contribution of Independent Directors. The Independent Directors play a pivotal role in corporate accountability and provide unbiased views and impartially to the Board’s deliberation and decision making process.

The Board is satis ed with the level of independence demonstrated by the 4 independent non-executive directors and their ability to provide objective judgement to the Board, which mitigate con ict of interest and undue in uence from interested parties.

Tenure of Independent Directors

In line with the Code, the Board adopted the Code’s recommendation in which the tenure of an independent director should not exceed a cumulative term of nine (9) years. Upon completion of 9 years, the independent director will be re-designated as non-independent director. In the event such director is to be retained as an Independent Director, the Board will have to justify and obtain shareholders’ approval.

The NC and the Board have deliberated and hold the view that a director’s independence cannot be determined solely with reference to tenure of service. The length of their service on the Board does not in any way interfere with their exercise of independent judgment and ability to act in the best interest of the Company. The continued tenure of Independent Directors also bring stability to the Board and the Company bene ts from directors who have, over time gained valued insight into the Group’s operation and the industry.

Thus, the independence of the independent directors namely, Dato’ Sri Md Kamal Bin Bilal, Dato’ Dr Kardin Bin Haji Shukor, Mr Yeoh Chong Keng and Mr Lim Gin Chuan, have been reviewed and recommended to continue to act as independent directors subject to the shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming AGM based on the following justi cations:

a) All of them continue to ful ll the criteria under the de nition of an Independent Director as set out in the Listing Requirements.

b) They have never transacted or entered into any transactions with, nor provided any services to the Company or its subsidiaries, within the scope and meaning as set forth in the Listing Requirements.

c) They have not been offered or granted any options by the Group, nor any other incentives or bene ts of whatever nature had been paid to them by the Company, other than directors’ fees and allowances paid which had been the norm and had been duly disclosed in this Annual Report.

OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION

Before the nancial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps:

(i) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of allowance for doubtful debts and satis ed themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate allowance had been made for doubtful debts, and

(ii) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their value as shown in the accounting records in the ordinary course of business had been written down to an amount which they might be expected to realise.

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 allowance for doubtful debts in the Group and in the Company inadequate to any substantial extent, and

(ii) that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the nancial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading, and

(iii) that would render any amount stated in the nancial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading, and

(iv) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing methods of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate.

At the date of this report, there does not exist:

(i) any charge on the assets of the Group and of the Company that has arisen since the end of the nancial year which secures the liabilities of any other persons, and

(ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group and of the Company that has arisen since the end of the nancial year.

No contingent liability or other liability of the Group and of the Company has become enforceable, or is likely to become enforceable, within the period of twelve months after the end of the nancial 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.

Independent Auditors’ Report To The Members

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the nancial statements of The Store Corporation Berhad, which comprise the statements of nancial position as at 30 September 2014 of the Group and of the Company, and their statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash ows for the nancial year then ended, and a summary of signi cant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 49 to 101.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of these nancial statements so as to give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of nancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these nancial 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 about whether the nancial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the nancial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’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 nancial statements.

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the nancial statements give a true and fair view of the nancial position of the Group and of the Company as at 30 September 2014 and of their nancial performance and cash ows for the nancial year then ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia, we also report the following:

(a) In our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and its subsidiaries of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act,

(b) We have considered the accounts and the auditors’ reports of all the subsidiaries of which we have not acted as auditors, which are indicated in Note 6 to the nancial statements,

(c) We are satis ed that the accounts of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the Company’s nancial statements are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the nancial statements of the Group and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required by us for those purposes, and

(d) The auditors’ reports on the accounts of the subsidiaries did not contain any quali cation or any adverse comment made under Section 174(3) of the Act.

Notes To The Financial StatementsFor The Financial Year Ended 30 September 2014

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

General

The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

The registered of ce of the Company is located at Plaza 138, Suite 18.03, 18th Floor, 138 Jalan Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur.

The principal place of business of the Company is located at Lot 328, Jalan 51A/223, Sek. 51A, 46100 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan.

The nancial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30 January 2015.

Principal Activities

The principal activities of the Company are investment holding and the provision of management services.

The principal activities of the subsidiaries are indicated in Note 6 to the nancial statements.

There have been no signi cant changes in the nature of these activities during the nancial year.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

2.1 Statement of Compliance

The nancial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with applicable Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRSs”), International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.

2.2 Basis of Measurement

The nancial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise indicated in the summary of accounting policies under Note 3.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group.

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

A fair value measurement of a non- nancial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic bene ts 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.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which suf cient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

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

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

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

- Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is signi cant to their fair value measurement is unobservable.

2.3 Functional and Presentation Currency

The nancial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) which is also the Company’s functional currency. Unless otherwise indicated, the amounts in these nancial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand.

2.4 Adoption of New MFRSs, Amendments/Improvements to MFRSs, IC Interpretations (“IC Int”) and Amendments to IC Int

The accounting policies adopted by the Group and by the Company are consistent with those of the previous nancial years except for the adoption of the following new MFRSs, amendments/ improvements to MFRSs,

IC Int and amendments to IC Int that are mandatory for the current nancial year:

MFRSs and IC Int effective 1 January 2013

Amendments to MFRSs effective 1 January 2013

MFRS 1 First-time Adoption of Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards - Government LoansMFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesMFRS 10, 11 and 12 Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and Disclosure of Interests in

Other Entities: Transition GuidanceAnnual Improvements 2009 – 2011 Cycle issued in July 2012

Initial application of the above standards did not have any material impact to the nancial statements of the group and of the Company except for the following:

MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

The Group and the Company have applied MFRS 13 for the rst time in the current period. MFRS 13 established a single source of guidance and disclosure for fair value measurements. The scope of MFRS 13 is broad. The fair value measurement requirements of MFRS 13 apply to both nancial instrument items and non- nancial instrument items for which other MFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of MFRS 2 Share-based Payment, leasing transaction that are within the scope of MFRS 117 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value (e.g. net realisable value for the purposes of measuring inventories or value in use for impairment assessment purposes).

MFRS 13 de nes fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under MFRS 13 is an exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, MFRS 13 includes extensive disclosure requirements.

MFRS 13 requires prospective application from 1 January 2013. In addition, speci c transition provisions were given to entities such that they need not apply the disclosure requirements set out in the MFRS 13 in comparative information provided for periods before the initial application of the MFRS 13. In accordance with these transitional provisions, the Group and the Company have not made any new disclosures required by MFRS 13 for the comparative period. Other than the additional disclosures, the application of MFRS 13 did not have any material impact on the amounts recognised in the Group’s and in the Company’s nancial statements.

2.5 Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

The Group and the Company have not applied the following new MFRSs, amendments to MFRSs and IC Interpretations (“IC Int”) that have been issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) but are not yet effective for the Group and for the Company:

The initial application of the above standards is not expected to have any nancial impacts to the nancial statements upon adoption.

2.6 Signi cant Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of nancial statements 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 estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

2.6.1 Critical Judgements

Critical judgement made by management in the process of applying accounting policies that have a signi cant effect on the amount recognised in the nancial statements is in respect of classi cation between investment properties and owner-occupied properties.

The Group determines whether a property quali es as an investment property, and has developed criteria in making that judgement. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Therefore, the Group considers whether a property generates cash ows largely independently of the other assets held by the Group.

Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. The Group accounts for the portions separately if the portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a nance lease). If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is an investment property only if an insigni cant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.

Judgement is made on an individual property basis to determine whether ancillary services are so signi cant that a property does not qualify as an investment property.

2.6.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a signi cant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next nancial year are discussed below:

(i) Useful lives of depreciable assets

Plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of the plant and equipment to be 5 to 20 years. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and residual values of the plant and equipment. Therefore, future depreciation charges could be revised.

(ii) Impairment of plant and equipment

The Group performs an impairment review as and when there are impairment indicators to ensure that the carrying value of the plant and equipment does not exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount represents the present value of the estimated future cash ows expected to arise from operations. Therefore, in arriving at the recoverable amount, management exercises judgement in estimating the future cash ows, growth rate and discount rate.

(iii) Impairment of goodwill

The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least once a year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated.

Estimating value in use requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash ows from the cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash ows.

(iv) Impairment of investment in subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiaries is assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such an indication exists, an estimation of the investment’s recoverable amount is required.

Estimating the recoverable amount requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash ows from the subsidiaries and also choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash ows.

(v) Inventories

The management reviews for slow-moving and obsolete inventories. This review requires judgements and estimates. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revision to the valuation of inventories.

(vi) Impairment of loans and receivables

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a nancial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or signi cant nancial dif culties of the debtor and default or signi cant delay in payments.

Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash ows are estimated based on historical loss experience of assets with similar credit risk characteristics.

(vii) Deferred revenue

The Group allocates the consideration received from the sales of goods to the goods sold and the points issued under its loyalty programme. The consideration allocated to the points issued is measured at their fair value.

The carrying amount of deferred revenue allocated to the award credits at the end of the reporting period was RM3,719,442 (2013: RM4,195,999).

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following accounting policies adopted by the Group and by the Company are consistent with those adopted in the previous nancial years unless otherwise indicated below.

3.1 Basis of Consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are those companies in which the Group has a long term equity interest and where it

has power to exercise control over their nancial and operating activities so as to obtain bene ts therefrom.

The Group adopted MFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements in the current nancial year. This

resulted in changes to the following policies:

• Control exists when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns through its power over the entity. In the previous nancial years, control exists when the Group has the ability to exercise its power to govern the nancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain bene ts from its activities.

• Potential voting rights are considered when assessing control only when such rights are substantive. In the previous nancial years, potential voting rights are considered when assessing control when such rights are presently exercisable.

• The Group 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 signi cantly affect the investee’s return. In the previous nancial years, the Group did not consider de facto power in its assessment of control.

The change in accounting policy has been made retrospectively and in accordance with the transitional provision of MFRS 10. However, the adoption of MFRS 10 has no signi cant impact to the nancial statements of the Group for the current nancial year.

Investment in subsidiaries is measured in the Company’s statement of nancial position at cost less accumulated impairment losses, unless the investment is classi ed as held for sale or distribution. The cost of investments includes transaction costs.

Upon the disposal of an investment in a subsidiary, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in pro t or loss.

(ii) Business combination 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 interest 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 at fair value of the identi able assets acquired and liabilities assumed

When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised in pro t or loss.

For each business combination, the Group elects whether to recognise non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value, or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identi able 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 treats 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 reserve.

(iv) Loss of control Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of

the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or de cit arising on the loss of control is recognised in pro t or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous 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 nancial asset depending on the level of in uence retained.

(v) Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the equity in a subsidiary not

attributable directly or indirectly to the equity holders of the Company, are presented in the consolidated statement of nancial position and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the owners of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group is presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of the pro t or loss and the comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and owners of the Company.

Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a de cit balance.

(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 nancial statements.

3.2 Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but instead, 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.

3.3 Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on the straight line method to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life at the following annual rates:

Leasehold land Amortised over its lease period of 50 - 999 years Buildings 2% - 10% Machinery and equipment 8% - 10% Furniture, xtures and ttings 5% - 20% Motor vehicles 20% Renovation 5% - 20%

Freehold land is not amortised as it has an in nite life.

Depreciation on capital work in progress commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic bene ts embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.

Upon the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in pro t or loss.

3.4 Investment Properties

Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Such properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Freehold land is not amortised as it has an in nite life. Buildings are depreciated on the straight line method to write off the cost to their residual value over their estimated useful lives at 2% per annum while leasehold land is amortised over its lease period of 68 to 919 years.

A property interest under an operating lease is classi ed and accounted for as an investment property on a property-by-property basis when the Group holds it to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Any such property interest under an operating lease classi ed as an investment property is carried at fair value.

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic bene t is expected from the disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in pro t or loss in the year in which they arise.

3.5 Leases

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

Finance lease

A nance lease which includes hire purchase arrangement, is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset to the lessee. Title may or may not eventually be transferred.

Minimum lease payments made under nance leases are apportioned between nance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in nance costs in the pro t or loss. Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is con rmed.

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

Leasehold land which in substance is a nance lease is classi ed as property, plant and equipment.

Operating Leases

Leases, where the Group does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classi ed as operating leases and, except for property interest held under operating lease, the leased assets are not recognised on the statement of nancial position. Property interest held under an operating lease, which is held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, is classi ed as investment property.

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in pro t or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in pro t or loss as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. Contingent rentals are charged to pro t or loss in the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Leasehold land which in substance is an operating lease is classi ed as prepaid land lease payments.

3.6 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

The carrying amounts of non- nancial assets (except for inventories, deferred tax assets and non-current assets (or disposal groups) classi ed as held for sale) 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 goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated each period at the same time.

For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash in ows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash in ows of other assets or cash-generating units (“CGU”). Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, CGU to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed re ects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to group of CGU that are expected to bene t from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount of an asset of CGU 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 ows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that re ects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks speci c to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognised in pro t or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGU are allocated rst to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGU) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other non- nancial assets, 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 that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to pro t or loss in the nancial year in which the reversals are recognised.

3.7 Financial Instruments

3.7.1 Initial recognition and measurement

A nancial asset or a nancial liability is recognised in the statement of nancial position when, and only when, the Group or the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A nancial instrument is recognised initially, at its fair value plus, in the case of a nancial instrument not at fair value through pro t or loss, transactions costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the nancial instrument.

3.7.2 Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement

The Group and the Company categorise nancial instruments as follows:

Financial assets (a) 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.

Loans and receivables are classi ed as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later

than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classi ed as non-current.

(b) Available-for-sale nancial assets Available-for-sale category comprises investment in equity and debt securities instruments that are

not held for trading. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and

whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost. Other nancial assets categorised as available-for-sale are subsequently measured at their fair values with the gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from monetary items and gains and losses of hedged items attributable to hedge risks of fair value hedges which are recognised in pro t or loss. On derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassi ed from equity into pro t or loss. Interest calculated for a debt instrument using the effective interest method is recognised in pro t or loss.

All nancial assets are subject to review for impairment.

Financial liabilities

All nancial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Financial liabilities are classi ed as current liabilities, except for those having maturity dates later than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classi ed as non-current.

3.7.3 Financial guarantee contracts

A nancial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make speci ed payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a speci ed debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, nancial guarantee contracts are recognised as income in statement of comprehensive income over the period of the guarantee. If the debtor fails to make payment relating to nancial guarantee contract when it is due and the Group, as the issuer, is required to reimburse the holder

for the associated loss, the liability is measured at the higher of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation.

3.7.4 Offsetting of nancial instruments

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

3.7.5 Derecognition

A nancial asset or part of it is derecognised, when and only when the contractual rights to the cash ows from the nancial asset expire or the nancial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a nancial 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 pro t or loss.

A nancial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation speci ed in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired. On derecognition of a nancial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the nancial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in pro t or loss.

3.8 Impairment of Financial Assets

All nancial assets (except for nancial assets categorised as fair value through pro t or loss and investment in subsidiaries) are assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash ows of the asset. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised. For an investment in an equity instrument, a signi cant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is an objective evidence of impairment.

An impairment loss in respect of loans and receivables is recognised in pro t or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash ows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account.

An impairment loss in respect of available-for-sale nancial assets is recognised in pro t or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and the asset’s current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised. Where a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale nancial asset has been recognised in other comprehensive income, the cumulative loss in other comprehensive income is reclassi ed from equity to pro t or loss.

An impairment loss in respect of unquoted equity instrument that is carried at cost is recognised in pro t or loss and is measured as the difference between the nancial asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash ows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar nancial asset.

Impairment losses recognised in pro t or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classi ed as available-for-sale is not reversed through pro t or loss.

3.9 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insigni cant risk of changes in value, against which bank overdraft balances, if any, are deducted.

3.10 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost represents the invoiced value of goods purchased, and is determined on the rst-in, rst-out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

3.11 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an out ow of resources embodying economic bene ts will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to re ect 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.

3.12 Income Recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic bene ts will ow to the Group and to the Company and when the revenue can be reliably measured on the following bases:

(i) Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and discounts and is recognised when the signi cant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customers.

(ii) Rental income

Rental income is recognised on a time proportion basis over the lease term.

(iii) Dividend income

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

(iv) Management fee

Management fee is recognised on an accrual basis when services are rendered.

(v) Interest income Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the applicable effective interest rate.

(vi) Revenue on award credits

Revenue on award credits is recognised based on the number of award credits that have been redeemed in exchange for free or discounted goods, relative to the total number of award credits expected to be redeemed.

3.13 Employee Bene ts

Short term bene ts Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. 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. De ned contribution plans

As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the national pension scheme, the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”). Such contributions are recognised as an expense as incurred.

3.14 Borrowings Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are substantially completed for their intended use or sale.

Other borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Group incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.

3.15 Income Tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in pro t 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 nancial 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 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 nancial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable pro t 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.

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 liabilities and assets 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 pro ts 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 bene t will be realised.

Unutilised reinvestment allowance and investment tax allowance, being tax incentives 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 pro ts will be available against which the unutilised tax incentive can be utilised.

3.16 Foreign Currency

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 at the end of the reporting period, 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.

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in pro t or loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments or a nancial instrument designated as a hedge or currency risk, which are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia

The assets and liabilities of operations denominated in functional currencies other than RM, 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 foreign translation reserve (“FTR”) 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, the signi cant in uence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the FTR related to the foreign operation is reclassi ed to pro t or loss as part of the pro t 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. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining signi cant in uence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassi ed to pro t or loss.

In the consolidated nancial statements, when settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely 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 FTR in equity.

3.17 Share Capital, Share Issuance Expenses and Dividends

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments.

Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.

Dividends on ordinary shares are accounted for in shareholder’s equity as an appropriation of retained pro ts and recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared.

Share premium includes any premiums received upon issuance of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax bene ts.

Costs directly attributable to the issuance of instruments classi ed as equity are recognised as a deduction from equity.

3.18 Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker, which in this case are the Executive Directors of the Group, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete nancial information is available.

3.19 Contingencies

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

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

follows:

The title deeds for certain leasehold land and buildings of the Group with carrying amount of RM426,307 (2013: RM431,703) have yet to be issued by the relevant authorities.

Fair value information

Fair value of investment properties are categorised as follows:

Policy on transfer between levels

The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as at the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the nancial year.

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 investment properties, either directly or indirectly.

Level 2 fair values of the above properties have been generally derived using the sales comparison approach. Sales prices of comparable properties in close proximity are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as property size. The most signi cant input into this valuation approach is price per square foot of comparable properties.

Notes To The Financial StatementsFor The Financial Year Ended 30 September 2014

Impairment test on goodwill

Goodwill arising from business combinations has been allocated to its business segment as its cash generating units (CGUs).

For annual impairment testing purposes, the recoverable amount of the CGUs is determined based on its value-

in-use, which applies a discounted cash ow model using cash ow projections based on nancial budget and projections approved by management.

No impairment loss is required for the goodwill as its recoverable amount is in excess of its carrying amount.

The key assumptions on which the management has based on for the computation of value-in-use are as follows:

(i) Budgeted gross margin

The basis used to determine the value assigned to the budgeted gross margins is the average gross margin achieved in the period immediately before the budgeted period adjusted for expected ef ciency improvement, market and economic conditions and internal resource ef ciency, where applicable.

(ii) Revenue

The revenue used to calculate the cash in ows from operations was determined after taking into consideration the historical sales and expected growth rates of the relevant industry which the CGUs are exposed. Values assigned are consistent with the external sources of information.

(iii) Discount rate

The discount rate applied to the cash ow projections is based on the weighted average cost of capital rate of the Group.

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

With regard to the assessment of value-in-use of all CGUs, management believes that no reasonable change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the units to materially exceed their recoverable amounts.

9. DEFERRED TAX Deferred tax assets:

The deferred tax assets are represented by deductible temporary differences arising from deferred revenue. Deferred tax liabilities:

The amount and future availability of unabsorbed tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances for which the related tax effects have not been accounted for at the end of the reporting period is follows:

The corporate tax rate will be reduced to 24% from the year of assessment 2016 as announced in the Malaysian Budget 2014. Consequently, deferred tax is measured using this tax rate.

The corporate guarantee does not have a determinable effect on the terms of the credit facilities due to the bank’s requirement of the corporate guarantee as a pre-condition for approving the credit facilities granted to the subsidiaries. The actual terms of the credit facilities are likely to be the best indicator of “at market” terms and hence the fair value of the credit facilities are equal to the credit facilities amount received by the subsidiaries. As such, there is no value on the corporate guarantee to be recognised in the nancial statements.

32.2 Financial risk management The Group’s nancial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate resources are available for the development of the Group’s business whilst managing its credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Group operates within clearly de ned guidelines that are approved by the Board and the Group’s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions.

32.3 Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in nancial loss to the Group and to the Company. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from

its trade and other receivables. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from advances to its subsidiaries and nancial guarantees given.

32.3.1 Trade receivables The Group’s retail sales are conducted in cash and credit cards. The payments from the credit cards issuing banks are normally made in 3 days. The Group also lets out its properties for rental and tenants are given 7 days credit term.

The payments of rental by the tenants are monitored on an on-going basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not signi cant.

The ageing of trade receivables and accumulated impairment losses of the Group is as follows:

Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthy customers with good payment record with the Group. None of the Group’s trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired have been renegotiated during the nancial year.

Total impairment loss relates to customers that have nancial dif culties and have defaulted in repayment.

The net past due receivables amounting to RM1,475,000 (2013: RM270,000) are not impaired as the management is of the view that these debts will be recovered in due course.

As at the end of the reporting period, the Group has no signi cant concentration of credit risks.

32.3.2 Financial guarantees The Company provides unsecured nancial guarantees to licensed banks in respect of banking facilities granted to its subsidiaries as disclosed in Note 30.

The Company monitors on an ongoing basis the results of the subsidiaries and their repayments made. As at the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that these subsidiaries would default on repayment

32.3.3 Intercompany balances The Company provides advances to its subsidiaries. The Company monitors the results of the subsidiaries regularly.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by its carrying amount in the Company’s statement of nancial position.

As at the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that the advances to those subsidiaries are not recoverable. The Company does not speci cally monitor the ageing of the advances to subsidiaries.

32.4 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group and the Company will not be able to meet their nancial obligations as and when they fall due. The Group and the Company actively manage their debt maturity pro le, operating cash ows and availability of funding so as to ensure that all repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the Group and the Company maintain suf cient levels of cash and cash equivalents to meet their working capital requirements.

The table below summarises the maturity pro le of the Group’s and the Company’s nancial liabilities as at the end of the reporting period are based on the undiscounted contractual payments:

32.5 Interest rate risk The Group’s xed rate instruments are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes in interest rates. The Group’s oating rate instruments are exposed to a risk of change in cash ows due to changes in interest rates.

The interest rate pro le of the Group’s and of the Company’s interest bearing nancial instruments based on the carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

Sensitivity analysis for xed rate instruments The Group does not account for any xed rate nancial liabilities at fair value through pro t 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 pro t or loss.

Sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments An increase of 25 basis point at the end of the reporting period would have reduced pro t before taxation of the Group and of the Company by RM394,000 (2013: RM598,000) and RM363,000 (2013: RM440,000) respectively and a corresponding decrease would have an equal but opposite effect. These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

32.6 Fair value information The carrying amounts of the Group’s and of the Company’s cash and bank balances, short term receivables and payables and borrowings as at the end of the reporting period approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature or that they are oating rate instruments that are re-priced to market interest rates on or near the end of the reporting period, except for unquoted shares with carrying amount of RM5,000 (2013: RM5,000), whereby it is not practicable to reasonably estimate its fair value due to lack of comparable quoted market prices and available market data for valuation. Therefore, this investment is carried at its original costs less any impairment loss.

The table below analyses nancial instruments carried at fair value which fair value is disclosed, together with their fair values and carrying amounts shown in the statement of nancial position.

Policy on transfer between levels

The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as at the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the nancial year.

Level 1 fair value

Level 1 fair value is derived from quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical quoted shares that the entity can access at the measurement date.

33. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The primary objective of the Group’s capital management policy remains unchanged and is to maintain a strong capital base to support its businesses and maximise shareholders’ value.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions or expansion of the Group. The Group may adjust the capital structure by issuing new shares, returning capital to shareholders or selling assets to reduce debts. No changes were made in the objective, policy and process during the nancial year under review and the previous nancial period.

The lending banks of the Company have imposed a debt covenant that requires the Company to maintain a debt service coverage ratio (“DSCR”) of 1.5 times. The DSCR is de ned as consolidated available cash ow to the aggregate of debt payment (principal plus interest) due by the Group for the past twelve months.

The DSCR of the Group during the nancial year under review is as follows:

Based on the computation above, the Company has ful lled the debt covenant requirement imposed by the banks.

34. MATERIAL LITIGATION

On 28 May 2008, The Store (Terengganu) Sdn. Bhd. (“TST”) (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) had led a civil suit in the Kuala Lumpur High Court against ABI Constructions Sdn. Bhd. (“ABI”) due to ABI had

unilaterally terminated the tenancy agreement signed between the two parties and the High Court granted an interim injunction to TST against ABI, restraining ABI from taking any steps to enter into any tenancy relationship with any third party in respect of the demised premises. Consequently, the High Court dissolved the said injunction and ordered an assessment of damages against TST, of which ABI claim for an amount of RM103,700,637 for alleged damage, an amount which, based on the Company’s solicitor’s opinion, was excessive, overstated, unjusti ed and unsustainable over a tenancy dispute and that TST had not started its operations in the demised premises.

On 28 February 2014, the Court ruled that ABI has breached the tenancy agreement and ordered to assess the damage by the Registrar and paid to TST accordingly. However, the speci c performance of tenancy claimed by TST was ruled out by the Court and TST has led in an appeal for the speci c performance to Court of Appeal. The case is now xed for hearing on 10 March 2015.

The proposed Ordinary Resolution No. 7 to 10, if passed, will allow the independent directors to be retained and continue acting as an independent director to ful ll the requirements of Paragraph 3.04 of the Main Market Listing Requirements and in line with the recommendation No. 3.2 and 3.3 of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012. The full details of the justi cation and recommendations for the retention is set out in the Statement of Corporate Governance in the Annual Report 2014.

ii) Proposed Authority to Allot and Issue Shares Pursuant to Section 132D of the Companies Act, 1965

The proposed adoption of the Ordinary Resolution No. 11, if passed, will authorise the directors to issue shares up to 10% of the issued and paid-up capital of the Company for the time being for such purposes as the directors consider would be in the best interest of the Company. The purpose for the renewal of a general mandate is to avoid any delay and costs in convening a general meeting to speci cally approve such an issue of shares for any possible fund raising activities (excluding placing of shares) for the purpose of funding future investment projects, additional working capital etc.

This authority, unless revoked or varied at a general meeting, will expire at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company.

iii) Proposed Renewal Of Authority For The Company to Purchase Its Own Shares

The proposed adoption of the Ordinary Resolution No.12, if passed, will prepare the Company with a further option to utilize our nancial resource more ef ciently. It is also intended to stabilize the supply and demand as well as the Company’s shares prices.

The mandate shall continue to be in force until the date of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company unless earlier revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Company in a general meeting and is subject to annual renewal.

Further information on this resolution is set out in the Share Buyback Statement dated 5 March 2015, despatched together with this Annual Report.

iv) Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate For Existing Recurrent Related Party Transactions and Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate For Additional Recurrent Related Party Transactions Of A Revenue Nature

The proposed adoption of the Ordinary Resolutions No. 13 & 14, if passed, will enable the Group to enter into recurrent transactions involving the interest of related parties, which are of a revenue nature and necessary for the Group’s day-to-day operations, subject to the transactions being carried out in the ordinary course of business and on terms not to the detriment of the minority shareholders of the Group.

The procurement of the proposed renewal of shareholders’ mandates would reduce substantially administrative time, effort and expenses associated with the convening of separate general meeting to seek shareholders’ approval as and when potential recurrent related party transactions percentage ratios is equal or exceeds 5% as prescribed in Chapter 10 of the Listing Requirement.

Further information on these resolutions are set out in the circular to shareholders dated 5 March 2015, despatched together with this Annual Report.
