GROUP PERFORMANCE Against a backdrop of economic uncertainties and market headwinds, I am pleased to report that the Group delivered a set of resilient and healthy financial results. For FY2015, the Group achieved RM1,906.5 million in revenue, an increase of 31% from FY2014, which is the highest ever revenue recorded. On a segmental basis, our Klang Valley projects contributed 39.7% of total revenue, followed by Johor with 28.8%, with Penang and Negeri Sembilan projects providing 5.7% and the balance from our overseas developments in Singapore and Xiamen, the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) the remaining 25.8%. Profit Before Taxation for the financial year under review was RM1,130.3 million, which was marginally higher than FY2014 of RM1,120.4 million. The increases were mainly attributed to the robust sales by Total units sold for FY2015 was 1,750 units against 2,667 units registered in the last financial year. In terms of sales value, the Group registered a total of RM1,778.5 million of which 67% was contributed by our developments in Malaysia, followed by PRC and Singapore at 20% and 13% respectively. On a segmental basis, revenue contribution from our property development, property investment, leisure and hospitality and other operation are RM1,562.3 million, RM192.6 million, RM110.8 million and RM40.8 million respectively. The Group’s financial position remains healthy with total assets growing by RM3,714.4 million to RM18,439.5 million and total cash in hand stands at RM1,909.6 million. Net assets per share for FY2015 is at RM3.56 per share, which is not reflected in the market price. The Company continues to manage its capital in a proactive manner to enhance shareholder value whilst ensuring group funding requirements are met with gearing levels effectively managed. The Group’s net gearing ratio for FY2015 stands at a healthy level of 7%. A more detailed analysis of the Group’s performance is available under the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in this Annual Report. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 013 TAN SRI DATO’ LEE SHIN CHENG Executive Chairman OPERATING ENVIRONMENT The year under review was marred with many challenges, softening of commodity prices including crude oil, anticipation of higher borrowing costs, competitive devaluation of currencies and the slowing down of PRC’s economy. These uncertainties, together with the cooling measures earlier introduced by the relevant authorities to manage and stabilise the property markets in all localities that the Group has operations in, have also amplified the challenges faced by the industry. On the local front, the demand for property was subdued during the year under review due to uncertainties surrounding the impact of the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) on house prices causing some purchasers to adopt a more cautious approach toward their purchases. In addition, financial institutions were also more stringent in their approval of housing loans with loan eligibility being revised to be based on net income from gross income. Sales of domestic properties at prime locations however remained resilient despite a cautious property market backdrop. This may be attributed to the continued growth in private consumption by 6.4%, which also contributed to the growth of the Malaysian economy by 4.9% in the second quarter of 2015. In Singapore, sales in private residential market continue to be challenging due to the cooling measures currently in place. Despite tough market conditions, properties targeted for the masses in established locations continued to be visible. This is evident from our Trilinq @ Jalan Lempeng project which has registered increased sales during the year under review. In the PRC, efforts by the authorities to revive the flagging property market which includes interest rate cuts and lower downpayment requirement for home owners have augured well for our developments in Xiamen. In May 2015, the Group successfully launched its maiden residential project in IOI Palm City. To date, more than 96% of the 224 units available have been taken up. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS In January 2015, the Group launched its latest township, Bandar Puteri Bangi, a 370-acre freehold integrated township located next to the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Highway and directly accessible via the Bandar Seri Putra interchange toll. Sales were encouraging as the development recorded an average 70% take-up rate for The Terresse (two-storey superlink house), Almyra Residence (serviced apartment), and Kubica Square (three- and four-storey shop office) components within a month after launching. The Group increased its property investment portfolio from 3.1 million sq. ft. to 4.5 million sq. ft. in FY2015 following the opening of IOI City Mall in November 2015. The mall with a nett lettable area of 1.4 million sq. ft. is the largest shopping mall in South Klang Valley. To further enhance the vibrancy of Bandar Puteri Puchong, the Group introduced a new four-star business hotel, Four Points by Sheraton Puchong at Puchong Financial Corporate Centre (“PFCC”) in December 2015. The hotel with 250 guest rooms is managed by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. Four Points by Sheraton Puchong is poised to set a new standard in hospitality for business and residence within the surrounding vicinity. 014 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (Cont’d) In Singapore, the South Beach mixed used development, a joint venture with City Developments Limited, has commenced operation with completion of the 34-storey North Tower. Named South Beach Tower – the office component of the South Beach development, encompasses over 46,000 sq. m. of Grade A office space. The tower was well received securing numerous renowned multinational companies including Facebook and Rabobank. To date around 96% of the lettable area have been tenanted. 3 September 2015 also saw the soft-opening of The South Beach, a 654-room hotel located on the South Tower of the South Beach development. Designed by renowned creative French designer Philippe Starck, the hotel offers a unique design and hospitality experience with a blend of the latest integrated technology. Designed by Foster+Partners, the entire development will comprise residential, office, retail and hotel and upon completion will contribute to the already stunning city skyline of Singapore. CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS On 10 November 2014, the Company announced a Proposed Rights Issue of 539,835,787 Rights Shares at an issue price of RM1.90 to be implemented on a renounceable basis of one (1) Rights Share for every six (6) existing IOIPG Shares held (“Rights Issue”). The Rights Issue was completed following the listing and quotation of 539,835,787 new ordinary shares on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad on 9 February 2015. A total gross proceeds of RM1.03 billion was raised. On 8 May 2015, the Company established an employees’ share option scheme which is targeted to be offered to employees and executive directors who are involved in the management of the Group in recognition of their contributions to the Group’s operations and continued growth. South Beach Tower in Singapore currently enjoys more than 90% occupancy. DIVIDEND For FY2015, the company declared an interim dividend of 6.0 sen per ordinary share amounting to a total payout of approximately RM226 million. The dividend declared represents approximately 25% distribution of the Group’s net profit attributable to shareholders. PROSPECTS SUSTAINABILITY AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY The Group recognises that the pursuit of property development inevitably impacts the environment and takes proactive steps to minimise the potentially harmful effects of such activities wherever practicable. IOIPG is therefore committed to developing in a sustainable way in tandem with environmental, economic and social considerations. Besides driving sustainable profit growth and returns for the shareholders, the Group also undertakes many corporate responsibility (“CR”) activities. The Group’s CR efforts are focused on sharing our success with, and giving back to the communities in which we operate. This is done mainly through Yayasan Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng (“Yayasan TSLSC”), a charitable foundation jointly funded by the Group and IOI Corporation Berhad. As the Group continues to expand its operations, it will strive to further broaden and deepen its sustainability and CR endeavours. Key highlights of the Group’s many sustainability measures and CR initiatives are covered in the “Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility” section. Against the backdrop of tighter financial criteria by financial institutions on loans approval, looming economic uncertainties including volatility in the foreign exchange and lingering interest rate hikes, the outlook for the property market will be less robust. In these challenging times, we will focus on strong execution and management of projects on hand and inventory control, as we strive to continue to deliver good results to our shareholders. As a township developer, we will continue to leverage on our strength to launch products that are more in vogue with the changing preferences of our purchasers. Following from the launch of our Bandar Puteri Bangi township in January 2015, the Group will be gearing up for the launch of another new township in Greater Kuala Lumpur, namely Bandar Puteri Warisan in Sepang by this financial year. Similar to Bandar Puteri Bangi, the township will be on freehold land. The initial launch will be landed residential property and we are positive that it will be well received taking into consideration the vibrancy of the area being close to the currently under construction Xiamen University, as well as, to the Express Rail Link (“ERL”) that connects the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (“KLIA”) with Kuala Lumpur. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD For our more established townships in Puchong, which are currently undergoing rapid transformation due to the construction of the LRT line, we will continue to develop our existing landbank in the vicinity. Properties located near LRT lines continue to be identified as excellent investment choices given the increasingly congested traffic situation in the Klang Valley. With rapid urbanisation, more emphasis will be on sustainable development, which emphasises space, resource efficiency and connectivity. As such, TransitOriented Development (“TOD”) will become more popular in the future which provides an optimal mix of quality retail, hospitality, commercial and residential spaces all seamlessly integrated to provide day to day convenience for people to live, work and spend time in, while at the same time providing connectivity, for example via the LRT to other locations. In addition to the LRT project in Puchong, following the realignment of the MRT 2 line from Bandar Malaysia to Putrajaya there is a proposal to build a station in our 16 Sierra township development, this will definitely provide convenience to our existing and future residence. Besides Malaysia, we are also upbeat on the remaining component of our second Xiamen venture, IOI Palm City, which will be an integrated development consisting of shopping malls, boutique office, hotel and residential components. The Group will also be increasing its investment property portfolio with the completion of the other components of IOI Resort City which include a hotel and two office towers. The Le Méridien Putrajaya will be a five-star 350-guest room hotel managed by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. The office towers, named IOI City Towers will comprise two 31-storey towers offering state-of-the-art international Grade A offices that incorporate the latest trends in sustainability, spaciousness and facilities. The ANNUAL REPORT 2015 015 office towers will also be Green Building Index (“GBI”) certified with a highly functional and energy-efficient design to reduce energy consumption. We are confident that once the entire IOI Resort City is completed, it will change the skyline of Putrajaya and will be the preferred meeting point for residents living around the vicinity of south Klang Valley. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS On behalf of the Board of Directors, I wish to extend our sincere appreciation to all our purchasers and business associates for your unflinching support which have made it possible for the Group to achieve all that we have thus far.

IOI Palm City in Xiamen, PRC which comprises a shopping mall, boutique offices, a five-star hotel and luxury residences is expected to be completed in 2018. Since forging its own path as a separate listed entity in January 2014, IOIPG has chalked up numerous accolades and milestones in its journey towards achieving its vision. Its visionary track record has further spurred the Group to launch vibrant townships and innovative developments. In addition to being consistently ranked highly among the largest property players in Malaysia, IOIPG is also one of the few integrated property companies that builds as well as manages investment properties such as shopping malls, hotels, office buildings and golf courses. It is renowned for its prowess in property development and success in building thriving self-contained townships, notably turning once-backwater Puchong into the commercial success it is today. However, unknown to many, IOIPG’s success today is leveraged on a solid footing encompassing several core business components – property development, property investment, and leisure and hospitality. To complement its township developments, IOIPG builds shopping malls, retail complexes, purpose-built office buildings and golf courses, which bring value-add to its customers. IOIPG has a superior track record in managing these prime assets which it develops and owns, complementing its philosophy in offering self-contained townships that aptly meets the community’s lifestyle and business needs. This differentiating factor sets IOIPG apart from its industry peers. Its strategic approach to develop an investment portfolio to retain ownership and control of the buildings transformed IOIPG into an integrated property player. Through strategic partnerships, IOIPG has ventured into five property development projects in Singapore comprising high-end residential and integrated mixed developments. Over in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), it has embarked on two mixed property development projects in Xiamen. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 025 With these established property assets across Malaysia, Singapore and PRC, IOIPG will be able to enjoy a steady stream of revenue, rental income and yield in the coming years. Coupled with the upcoming property development launches, completion of key projects such as IOI City Towers, South Beach and IOI Palm City, exciting times are ahead for IOIPG. Undoubtedly, IOIPG’s business portfolio is extensive and will continue to grow in size and value as the Group expands its horizons beyond borders. GROUP OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Amidst the backdrop of a challenging economic outlook, the Group remains resilient and continues to lay the foundations to deliver long term value to its stakeholders. In the year under review, the Group has made significant headway with the following achievements: • Completion and opening of IOI City Mall in November 2014. • Completion and opening of Four Points by Sheraton Puchong in December 2014. • Launch of new township in Bandar Puteri Bangi in January 2015. • Launch of PJ Midtown, a mixed use development, joint venture between IOI Properties Berhad and Sime Darby Brunsfield Sdn Bhd, in January 2015.

Despite the challenging property market, the Group has achieved record high revenue of RM1,906.5 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 which was 31.1% higher than FY2014. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to IOIPG’s property development segment which registered an increase of RM318.8 million to RM1,562.3 million, which amounted to 81.9% of the Group’s total revenue. During the financial year, IOIPG’s joint venture project in Malaysia and Singapore recorded a total revenue of RM183.2 million (FY2014: RM437.6 million) which was not included in the Group’s consolidated revenue.

Profit after tax (“PAT”) for the Group stood at RM900.6 million for FY2015. It was mainly derived from the property development and property investment segments whereby the segmental operating profit has increased by 20.9% and 46.5% respectively when compared to the previous corresponding year after excluding the one-off gain from acquisition of subsidiaries and the fair value gain. Notably, the significant increase in the Group’s PAT was due mainly to the successful launch of its new township in Bandar Puteri Bangi, enhanced performance of development projects in Klang Valley and Johor as well as the completion and opening of IOI City Mall in November 2014. Also contributing to the profit was the fair value gain on investment properties of RM316.6 million. Le Pavillion in Bandar Puteri Puchong.

Such a significantly strong performance was enabled by the achievement of higher sales and sustained progress of ongoing projects undertaken by the Group in Malaysia, Singapore and PRC. On the international front, particularly in Xiamen, PRC during FY2015, the Group successfully launched the first phase of its residential properties with 96% sold at the date of this report, generating total sales value of approximately RMB520.4 million. OUTLOOK & PROSPECTS Malaysia With the recent implementation of Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) beginning 1 April 2015, the domestic property market sentiments remained relatively subdued as the industry continues to experience slower overall take-up rate at new property launches, especially for the high-end property segment. This is partly attributed to the tightening measures on property sector as announced in Malaysia Budget 2014 and other fiscal policies such as lower loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio and stricter financing facilities. However, as these regulatory measures are meant to curb speculation and not restrict genuine demand, these measures are not expected to affect the sustainable growth of the property sector on a long-term basis. The generally weak sentiments were also influenced by a steep decline in commodity prices and a relatively bearish equities market. In Klang Valley, the prospect for the Group’s development in growth areas such as Puchong, Puchong South and Bangi are expected to remain resilient. The upcoming township, Bandar Puteri Warisan, Sepang comprising freehold two-storey link houses is due to be launched in FY2016, catering to growing demand for landed properties. In Johor, sentiment is soft on the condominium market thus impacting demand for high-rise residences. As such, IOIPG will focus on developing landed properties on its vast landbank in Kulai. The Whimsical Garden of Puteri Hills Luxury Town Villa in Bandar Puteri Puchong provides an alluring calm to the senses. IOIPG is adopting strategies to target genuine buyers with quality affordably-priced landed and high-rise residences as well as commercial shop offices in strategic locations. These segment markets are expected to be resilient in the current economic situation. Strategic location is key to a sound property purchase. IOIPG will continue to optimise development of mature townships with Transit-oriented Development (“TOD”), specifically at Bandar Puchong Jaya and Bandar Puteri Puchong. Residents stand to benefit upon the completion of the Light Rail Transit (“LRT”) commuter lines and stations which provide added convenience and accessibility to these townships. In the meantime, IOIPG will seek to actively promote and advertise through various channels that appropriately target potential customers and at the same time, raise its brand profile and awareness of key developments. Singapore The property market in Singapore continues to remain under pressure. However, property projects in strategic locations targeted at the mass market have seen good demand. The Cityscape @ Farrer Park, comprising a total of 250 units of condominium, has achieved 94% of sales. The project was completed in October 2014. Meanwhile, The Trilinq @ Jalan Lempeng which consists of 755 units of condominium has seen an increase in take-up rate during the second half of FY2015. PRC In PRC, the demand and prices of residential properties are expected to remain stable in high growth cities such as Xiamen. The supportive policy measures such as policy rate cut had improved buying sentiment which increased the number of sales transactions in the property market. Bandar IOI, the first concept township development in Bahau, Negeri Sembilan, is master-planned to be a thriving hub of activity with modern residences and commercial shops. IOIPG has successfully launched the first phase of its residential properties in IOI Palm City with 96% sold at the date of this report. IOI City Mall at IOI Resort City, Putrajaya.

Beyond developing, IOI Properties Group Berhad (“IOIPG”) invests in and agilely manages its stable of principal investment properties comprising shopping malls, retail complexes and purpose-built office buildings in Malaysia, Singapore and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Innovative business strategies enable these integrated developments to deliver greater value – leading to higher capital appreciation and sustainable yields for the Group.

Puchong Financial Corporate Centre in Bandar Puteri Puchong. 034 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Group Business Review – Property Investment Property investment plays a strategic role in complementing the property development division of IOI Properties Group Berhad (“IOIPG”). In the Group’s townships, the property investment interests are the primary bedrock to bring greater value to its homeowners. IOIPG’s prime property investment assets in Malaysia, which complement its existing township developments, supplement the group’s revenue with stable and recurring rental income. The Group’s existing property investment portfolio as at 30 June 2015 has approximately a total 4.6 million sq. ft. of lettable space, of which approximately 2.5 million sq. ft. is retail space, 1.6 million sq. ft. is office space, and the balance encompassing, amongst others, residential properties. Some of IOIPG’s major investment properties are: a) IOI City Mall in IOI Resort City, Putrajaya has 380 retail shop lots with a total net lettable area (“NLA”) of 1.4 million sq. ft.; b) IOI Mall Puchong has more than 353 retail shop lots with a total NLA of approximately 859,000 sq. ft.; c) Four blocks of 12-storey to 21-storey purpose-built office buildings in Puchong Financial Corporate Centre (“PFCC”) with total NLA of approximately 874,000 sq. ft.; d) IOI Mall Kulai in Johor has more than 258 retail shop lots with a total NLA of approximately 242,000 sq. ft.; e) One IOI Square and Two IOI Square located in IOI Resort City, Putrajaya comprise two blocks of 12-storey purposebuilt office towers with approximately 441,000 sq. ft. of NLA; and f) IOI Boulevard in Puchong has 68 units of office and retail lots with a total NLA of approximately 229,000 sq. ft. IOIPG has realised optimal gains in capital appreciation over the medium-term from its investments in purpose-built office and commercial/retail space. At the same time, this segment presents the Group with an avenue to benefit from sustained income streams. OPERATIONS REVIEW The Group’s investment properties experienced a steady growth over FY2015 enjoying overall improved occupancy. One of the key reasons is attributed to the strategic location of these properties within IOIPG’s developments which are situated within the growth corridors. Its ownership control over these investment assets allows IOIPG to have control over the tenant mix. Synergies between the property investment and property development components are apparent as IOIPG master- planned shopping malls, retail complexes and purpose-built office buildings alongside its township developments. As these townships continue to mature and thrive, IOIPG’s investment portfolio will see a marked enhancement from the development of more upmarket properties and higher rental yields. Property development is susceptible to economic fundamentals due to its cyclical nature which may potentially impact the company’s bottom line, while stable recurring income derived from its property investment assets helps to strengthen the balance sheet. In short, rental yield generates cash flow needed to cushion the challenging effect resulting from a slow property sales market. MALAYSIA Retail The most significant milestone for FY2015 was the successful completion and subsequent opening of IOI City Mall at IOI Resort City in November 2014, making it the largest mall in southern Klang Valley with 1.4 million sq. ft. of NLA. Commencing with 80% occupancy, this modern architectural landmark has set a new standard in retail mall design and elevated patrons’ shopping experience in terms of the mall’s size, finishing and ambience. With anchor tenants such as Parkson departmental store occupying 220,000 sq. ft.; HomePro Malaysia; Index Living Mall; Tesco; Golden Screen Cinemas (“GSC”); Wangsa Bowl; Icescape Ice Rink, an Olympic-sized ice-skating rink; District21, an indoor theme park; and 300 specialty, fashion, and food and beverage (“F&B”) outlets, IOI City Mall has fast become a popular household name as a regional mall offering a comprehensive selection of shopping and entertainment facilities. The mall, which is within IOI Resort City, enjoys excellent infrastructure and connectivity via six major highways. As for IOI Mall Puchong, it sustained its strong performance with occupancy remaining at approximately 100%. The management continues to be proactive in sourcing new tenants, improving marketing and promotions as well as customer service to consolidate its positioning as a family mall in Puchong. Traffic flow and footfall are expected to improve in view of the expected completion of Light Rail Transit (“LRT”) stations in 2016. The retail sector is the main contributor; accounting for 79% of the total revenue of the property investment division for FY2015. It recorded a revenue and operating profit of RM152.1 million and RM74.8 million respectively. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 035 has also affected the economy with the price of goods and services increasing due to costlier imports. The retail market is also experiencing an increasing supply of shopping malls. This has resulted in retailers having more locations to choose from, thus affecting rentals. IOI City Mall currently enjoys more than 90% tenant occupancy, thus providing IOIPG with a steady yield for the coming years. Offices Despite the overall challenging office market, the offices at PFCC and IOI Boulevard generally enjoyed higher occupancies compared to FY2014. IOI Boulevard’s occupancy exceeded 80% whilst PFCC saw increasing interest and rentals from multinational corporations (“MNCs”). The imminent completion of the LRT by 2016 has contributed to the improvement in occupancies of offices in Puchong. REGIONAL INVESTMENT PROPERTIES IOIPG’s collection of retail and office spaces has been commended repeatedly for their superior value and quality, thus spurring the Group to expand its investment portfolio to also include the regional market in Singapore and Xiamen, PRC. The South Beach, IOIPG’s flagship project in Singapore, is set to inject vibrancy into the domestic property sector with an office tower, a 654-room hotel, premium retail space and luxury residential units. Upon completion, South Beach will be one of the regional preferred hubs for businesses. The office tower currently enjoys more than 90% occupancy. Over in Xiamen, PRC, IOIPG’s mega mixed development, IOI Palm City, is gathering strong interest from Chinese property investors. The 44-acre project encompasses a grand shopping mall, boutique offices, a luxury hotel, high-rise residences and villas. Notwithstanding the challenging economic environment, the performance of IOIPG’s investment properties in Puchong are expected to be steady as they are located in matured townships and enjoy the benefits of an improving infrastructure system. The LRT is expected to bring in more vibrancy and convenience to IOIPG’s investment properties as they are all within close proximity to the LRT stations. Continued aggressive and targeted marketing is expected to ensure that the investment properties remain competitive resulting in higher occupancies. Set within an integrated development, IOI City Mall will be complemented by two Grade A corporate office towers with a NLA of one million sq. ft. and the 350-room five-star hotel by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. by early 2016. The completion of both IOI City Towers and Le Méridien Putrajaya is expected to enhance the performance of IOI City Mall. SINGAPORE The overall property investment market continues to remain cautious with the Government maintaining a tight control on the property market. Despite this scenario, the office towers of South Beach project, a joint venture with City Developments Limited (“CDL”), have achieved more than 90% occupancy with notable MNCs as tenants. PRC The commercial property market in China has been cautious as China’s economic growth is experiencing deceleration. Nonetheless, IOIPG’s developments in Xiamen have been encouraging with the strong take-up rate for its maiden launch of IOI Palm City. The commercial developments in IOI Palm City are expected to complement the growing population around Jimei district. These two notable developments will be proud additions to IOIPG’s investment portfolio, generating healthy income revenue for the Group in coming years. Overall, the Group registered higher fair value gain on investment properties of RM316.6 million compared to RM305.3 million in FY2014. OUTLOOK & PROSPECTS MALAYSIA The economic environment is expected to be challenging in view of the depressed crude oil and palm oil prices. The introduction of Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) in April 2015 has significantly affected consumer demand which in turn affected retailers’ performances in shopping complexes. The weakening of ringgit The grand shopping mall in IOI Palm City in Xiamen, PRC counts among the approximate 1.5 million sq. ft. of retail and office space in NLA, boosting IOIPG’s income and rental yield upon its completion in 2018.

Palm Garden Golf Club at IOI Resort City, Putrajaya. 038 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Group Business Review – Leisure & Hospitality IOI Properties Group Berhad’s (“IOIPG”) hotels, resorts and golf courses in Klang Valley and Johor are well-known in the leisure and hospitality circle for their unique features and strong brand recognition. Tapping global opportunities available in the leisure and hospitality industry, the Group has launched new hotels to take its leisure and hospitality portfolio to a whole new level. IOIPG’s core business of property development is supported by its cachet of complementary lifestyle elements. It builds hotels as part of its property development projects which are then operated under its leisure and hospitality portfolio. The Group’s hotels, resorts and golf courses in Klang Valley and Johor are as follows: a) Putrajaya Marriott Hotel, a five-star hotel with 380 guest rooms, has 73 executive rooms and 35 exclusive suites. The hotel in IOI Resort City, Putrajaya was awarded the Best Hotel Development award in 2004, whilst the hotel’s restaurants have received several awards in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2013; b) Four Points by Sheraton Puchong, a four-star business hotel with 250 guest rooms located at Puchong Financial Corporate Centre (“PFCC”), Puchong; c) Palm Garden Hotel, a four-star hotel with 151 guest rooms located in IOI Resort City, Putrajaya; d) Palm Garden Golf Club (“PGGC”), which received the ParGolf Awards 2012 for Best New Golf Course in Malaysia, and the Best Golf Development Malaysia 2013-2014 award from Asia Pacific Property Awards, is also located in IOI Resort City, Putrajaya; and e) Palm Villa Golf & Country Resort, a 27-hole golf course located in the township of Bandar Putra Kulai, Johor. The 350-room Le Méridien Putrajaya in IOI Resort City, Putrajaya is slated to open in February 2016. Revenue generated from the Group’s leisure and hospitality activities are from hotel guests and function room rentals, golf course-related fees, food and beverage (“F&B”), merchandise sales and other related income from hotel and golf course operations. The revenue from Putrajaya Marriott Hotel and Palm Garden Hotel as well as the two golf courses in Putrajaya and Johor serves as the major contributor to the leisure and hospitality division for FY2015. Unlike the property development and property investment divisions, IOIPG’s leisure and hospitality business follows a seasonal pattern which is largely dependent on festive periods, school holidays and public holidays. As such, the need to sustain a continuous growth and expansion of the Group’s stake in the industry is crucial in order for IOIPG to chart its course to become one of the nation’s leading players in the leisure and hospitality industry. The revenue for IOIPG’s leisure and hospitality business is heavily dependent on the inflow of guests, which the Group perceives to be the most important operational performance indicator. Due to the competitive nature of the leisure and hospitality industry in Malaysia, pricing of room rates, golf course-related fees and other activities have a significant and direct impact on the inflow of guests patronising the Group’s hotels and golf clubs. OPERATIONS REVIEW Additionally, the consistent and effective maintenance of the golf courses and hotel rooms, coupled with and the introduction of new attractions and promotional offers are also seen as contributory factors towards sustaining the continuous growth of the number of guests frequenting the hotels and golf clubs. Other than the completion of the 1.4 million sq. ft. IOI City Mall, IOIPG is proud to welcome another significant milestone in FY2015 – the completion and subsequent opening of the 250-room Four Points by Sheraton Puchong at PFCC in December 2014. The introduction of Four Points by Sheraton Puchong has set a new standard in hospitality for businesses as well as residents in the surrounding vicinity. Since its opening, the business-class hotel has proved to be very popular among the small and medium enterprises (“SMEs”) and business communities in Puchong, Subang Jaya and Shah Alam. Its occupancy has been increasing at a steady rate. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 039 Together with Putrajaya Marriott Hotel, Palm Garden Hotel and Four Points by Sheraton Puchong, this collection of hotels served as the main contributor 73.3% to the leisure and hospitality division for FY2015. It recorded a revenue and operating profit of RM81.2 million and RM2.9 million respectively. Both Putrajaya Marriott Hotel and Palm Garden Hotel are expected to undergo renovation to further improve their competitiveness in attracting patrons. Aggressive marketing continues to be carried out to maintain and increase market share in Putrajaya and southern Klang Valley. The Le Méridien Putrajaya by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. is under construction and is due to complete by early 2016, further adding revenue to this division. Despite the slow tourism sector, corporate institutions and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) businesses continue to be tapped as well as capitalising on the complementary amenities of the newly-completed IOI City Mall and existing PGGC. The PGGC remains a premium and challenging course in the golf circuit. Continual maintenance of the landscape, course and greens to exceedingly high standards has continued to attract a steady stream of satisfied loyal and new golfers. OUTLOOK & PROSPECTS On the whole, the Malaysian tourism sector has been bleak over FY2015 due to a slowdown in tourist arrivals with the Ministry of Tourism and Culture Malaysia noting a recent drop of 30% in tourists coming into the country. Furthermore, there will be a surge in supply as an increasing number of hotel rooms are expected to come into the market. This will continue to affect overall room rates. Meanwhile, Four Points by Sheraton Puchong is well-positioned in Puchong as an international business-class hotel with good occupancy. Similarly, the management is expected to continue its marketing efforts to target the commercial, industrial and residential areas in the matured neighbourhoods of Puchong, Subang Jaya and Shah Alam. A vast skyline of the Puchong landscape from the cocktail reception of Four Points by Sheraton Puchong, the latest addition to IOIPG’s leisure and hospitality portfolio. 040 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 SUSTAINABILITY AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY In tandem with Malaysia’s move towards achieving the fully developed nation status in 2020, an intense adoption of sustainable and social responsibility practices is foreseen. Playing its part as a discerning and responsible property developer, IOI Properties Group Berhad (“IOIPG”) continuously reinforces its sustainability and corporate responsibility (“CR”) initiatives to complement the government’s call for responsible practices towards nation building. It is IOIPG’s way of giving back to the environment, society, and eventually, the nation, while it continues to embark on its journey as a leading property developer. CHAMPIONING SUSTAINABILITY • facilitating environmentally-responsible product design; Sustainable Policy and Principles • preserving biodiversity by planting tens of thousands of trees of different local species; IOIPG is committed towards adopting responsible practices in its everyday business and conscientiously instilled effective sustainable measures in its projects to enhance value creation for its customers. It achieves this by: • contributing to the social and economic development of the communities in which IOIPG develops and operates; • continuing its research and development efforts in green buildings; and • practising sustainable work culture. • incorporating design principles and adopting work practices that place considerable importance on energy conservation and the environment; • promoting activities that contribute to the safety and vibrancy of its communities; • cultivating a pro-active and conducive working environment to achieve its quality policy; • supporting carbon management through efficient management of resources (i.e. energy and water consumption) using technological innovations and by recycling; • continuously improving its health and safety standards; Shoppers can enjoy a breath of fresh air at the scenic IOI City Mall’s outdoors with shaded walkways and foliage. In line with its sustainability policy, IOIPG goes to great lengths to adopt design features which harness natural light, encourage cross and natural ventilation, reduce dependency on mechanical systems which consume energy, and incorporate energy management systems into its building automation systems to help reduce overall energy consumption. It also consciously maximises landscaping on available spaces in its residential and commercial developments to reduce “island heat effect” and carbon footprint. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 041 Other than incorporating environmentally-neutral design principles and fittings in IOIPG’s buildings, the same considerations are given to projects which are mainly non-building based. For example, in the course of refurbishing Palm Garden Golf Club (“PGGC”), rigorous considerations were given to minimise impact to the existing environment. More than 85% of the trees (or 2,191 trees) at the old site were transplanted to the new site and the trees achieved a remarkable survival rate of more than 95%. Apart from that, more than 80% of the planting material requirements for the course were sourced, propagated and/or transplanted at site. The onsite propagation helped to reduce fuel consumption and air pollution which would otherwise have resulted from the need to buy and transport these materials over long distances. IOI City Mall’s thermal energy storage system reduces electricity consumption while extensive use of glass façade allows natural sunlight into the mall. The following sustainability principles and incorporated in IOIPG’s property developments: features are Residential Buildings • Cross ventilation designs where applicable. • Natural ventilation for all bathrooms without the use of exhaust fans through strategically-placed windows. • Open concept with high ceilings to enhance natural lighting and ventilation. • Orientation of buildings towards North-South direction to reduce heat and sun glare. • Vertical plantings to enhance beauty aesthetics and reduce carbon footprint. • Solar water heating systems. • Rainwater harvesting systems for irrigation purposes. • Installation of water-saving cisterns. • Low Volatile Organic Compound (“VOC”) paint. Commercial High-rise Buildings • Green Building Index (“GBI”) or Green Mark Certification. • Orientation of buildings towards North-South direction to reduce heat and sun glare. • Energy management modules in its building automation system. • Motion-sensored lights for staircases. • Photovoltaic cells at the rooftop where appropriate. • Installation of water-saving cisterns. • Low VOC paint. • Sensor taps for public toilets. The Par 3 luxury homes in IOI Resort City built air wells between building blocks to create natural ventilation while shading device in its façade and sky gardens on alternate floors cool the building. 042 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 SUSTAINABILITY AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY (Cont’d) SERVING COMMUNITY Human Capital Development IOIPG believes that education is an integral component in empowering and enlightening the young to become leaders of tomorrow. Its community outreach programmes which centre on education, human capital development and corporate philanthropic initiatives are mainly undertaken by its charity arm, Yayasan Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng (“Yayasan TSLSC”). To date, Yayasan TSLSC has contributed over RM33 million to various schools, hospitals, welfare homes and charitable bodies, and has given scholarships and grants to hundreds of schools and students. (a) Scholarship Awards The ecoOasis Parkland in Bandar Puteri Bangi celebrates nature within a pristine recreational space on natural terrain. Sustainable Work Culture IOIPG’s sustainability initiatives are not merely limited to tangible outcomes such as its signature building features. Its commitment to sustainability encapsulates almost all of its work practices, and is now ingrained as part of its work culture. From a simple commitment such as recycling all papers utilised during work processes to ensuring all drawings presented at meetings are in soft copies and having only one set of printed drawings to be shared at workplace by all, IOIPG’s pledge to sustainability is firm and unyielding. IOIPG promotes activities that contribute to the vibrancy of its communities. Scholarships and career opportunities are awarded to academically outstanding students pursuing full-time undergraduate studies. Yayasan TSLSC deems it a great investment to support qualified Malaysian youths and to help build the nation’s human capital through the scholarships. To date, Yayasan TSLSC has granted 230 students with more than RM4.5 million worth of scholarships. (b) Student Adoption Programme The Student Adoption Programme (“SAP”) was launched in 2008 by the then Deputy Minister of Education YB Dr Wee Ka Siong to provide underprivileged children with equal access to good basic education as a platform for a brighter future. The adopted students will receive financial assistance and school bags from Yayasan TSLSC until they complete primary or secondary education. Since its inception, the SAP has benefited more than 800 students from over 200 schools in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah. To date, the total sponsorship amounts to more than RM3 million. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 043 (c) School Adoption Programme The School Adoption Programme was launched in 2007 to create a conducive learning environment for students from deprived schools in rural areas. Financial assistance is given to these adopted schools to upgrade their facilities such as building new classrooms, halls, libraries, perimeter fences, and IT and sports facilities in order to improve the learning environment. To date, six adopted primary and secondary schools in Sabah have been adopted under this scheme. From time to time, financial assistance is also extended to upgrade their school buildings. (d) Young Achievers’ Awards The Young Achievers’ Awards (“YAA”) was introduced by Yayasan TSLSC in 1999 to invigorate and motivate young students to strive for excellence in their studies. Cash awards, plaques and certificates of achievement are given out annually to reward bright students from primary to upper secondary levels who excel academically, possess high leadership qualities and are active in their extra-curricular activities. More than RM497,000 worth of cash prizes have been given to over 1,000 young achievers since its inception. Community Outreach Besides human capital development programmes, IOIPG also encourages and provides ample opportunities for employees to volunteer their time and actively participate in various CR activities organised under Yayasan TSLSC. Some of these activities include bringing cheer to residents at old folks’ homes and organising outdoor teambuilding sessions for children from orphanages. Charity visits to shelter homes brought joy to the residents. IOIPG actively engages the customers via productive efforts undertaken by the Customer Relations Unit (“CRU”) which build sustainable relationships between the developer and the community. Besides taking care of the customers’ needs and ensuring they receive the “IOI Branded Customer Experience” through enhanced customer service quality, some of its initiatives for improving customer satisfaction are the IOI Customer Service Champions and Customer Surveys while its community engagement efforts include the Reach Out community newsletter, community website (www.myioi.com), IOI Privilege Card and “Go Green” campaign. In addition to organising community events, IOIPG also supports activities that are organised by the Residents’ Associations (“RAs”) to create sustainable communities in its townships. IOIPG’s numerous CR efforts are highlighted in the “Corporate Responsibility” section. CONCLUSION IOIPG integrates sustainability and social well-being into every aspect of its operations and work culture. Its sustainability and CR initiatives reflect its commitment to uphold its Vision IOI and Core Values. As IOIPG moves towards greater expansion, it continues to strive to broaden and deepen its sustainability and CR efforts. Yayasan TSLSC reaches out to the community by supporting relief programmes for those affected by natural disasters. 044 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY Social Contributions 2014 19 JULY For the eighth consecutive year, IOI Mall Kulai hosted its annual “Pertandingan Memasak Bubur Lambuk antara Surau dan Masjid” to raise funds for underprivileged children. 11 AUGUST In collaboration with Traxx FM, a local radio station, Palm Garden Hotel treated 65 children from Rumah Nur Hikmah Kajang and Shepherds Home Dengkil to its “Hari Raya Aidilfitri Charity and Open House”, where they enjoyed traditional raya dishes, and received goodie bags and duit raya. 12 AUGUST Putrajaya Marriott Hotel welcomed 100 children from Persatuan Kebajikan Teratak Nur Insan Kuala Lumpur & Selangor, Rumah Kesayangan Petaling Jaya, Agathians Shelter Petaling Jaya and Rumah Hope to its “Fiesta Raya 2014” charity event.

The Committee was established on 29 May 2013 in line with the Main Market Listing Requirements (“Listing Requirements”) of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”). A MEMBERS The Committee consists of three (3) following members, who each satisfy the “independence” requirements contained in the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia. The profile of each member of the Committee is set out in the Profile of Directors section:Datuk Tan Kim Leong @ Tan Chong Min Chairman Independent Non-Executive Director Datuk Lee Say Tshin Member Independent Non-Executive Director Datuk Dr Tan Kim Heung Member Independent Non-Executive Director B SUMMARY KEY SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITIES The Committee operates under a written Committee’s Terms of Reference containing provisions that address requirements imposed by Bursa Malaysia. That Terms of Reference is posted on the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website at www.ioiproperties.com.my. The Terms of Reference prescribes the Committee’s oversight of financial compliance matters in addition to a number of other responsibilities that the Committee performs. Those key responsibilities include, among others:• Overseeing the financial reporting process and integrity of the Group’s financial statements. • Evaluating the independence of external auditors. • Evaluating the performance and process of the Company’s internal audit function and external auditors. • Overseeing the Group’s system of disclosure controls and system of internal controls that management and the Board have established. • Assessing the Company’s practices, processes and effectiveness of risk management. • Reviewing conflict of interest situations and related party transactions of the Group. C ACTIVITIES The Committee report provides an overview of the work that the Committee carried out during the period, including the significant issues considered in relation to the financial statements and how the Committee assessed the effectiveness of the external auditors. The Committee has a responsibility to oversee the Group’s internal control and risk management systems. The Committee continues to monitor and review the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control and risk management systems with the support of Group Internal Audit and Risk Management function. The Committee has an annual work plan, developed from its Terms of Reference, with standing items that the Committee considers at each meeting, in addition to any matters that arise during the year. The main matters that the Committee considered during the year are described below:1. Financial statements and reporting The Committee monitored the financial reporting processes for the Group, which included reviewing reports from, and discussing these with, management and the external auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers. The Board and the Committee have reviewed the unaudited quarterly financial results and audited financial statements. As part of the year-end reporting process the Committee reviewed external auditors’ reports on internal controls, tax matters impacting the Group, accounting and reporting matters as well as recommendations in respect of control weaknesses noted in the course of their audit. 2. Going concern assessment The Committee and the Board reviewed the going concern basis for preparing the Group’s consolidated financial statements, including the assumptions underlying the going concern statement and the period of assessment. The Committee’s assessment was based on reports by management and took note of the principal risks and uncertainties, the existing financial position, the Group’s financial resources, and the expectations for future performance and capital expenditure. 3. Internal audit The Internal Audit provides independent and objective assurance and advisory services designed to add value and improve the operations of the Group. Its scope encompasses, but is not limited to, the examination and evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s governance, risk management and internal control processes in relation to the Group’s defined goals and objectives. The Committee approved the internal audit function’s charter, which sets out its role, scope, accountability and authority. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD The Head of Group Internal Audit and Risk Management reports functionally to the Committee, and the Committee reviewed and approved the annual Internal Audit plan and budget for activities to be undertaken during 2015/2016. The Committee also reviewed the adequacy of the scope, functions, competency and resources of the internal audit function during the year. The Internal Audit Department performs routine audit on and reviews all operating units within the Group, with emphasis on principal risk areas. Internal Audit adopts a risk-based approach towards planning and conduct of audits, which is partly guided by an Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) framework. Impact on the “Vision IOI” is taken into consideration in determining the risk level as a holistic approach in contributing to the achievement of the Group’s objectives and in enhancing shareholders’ value. 25 audit assignments were completed during the financial year on various operating units of the Group covering property development, property investment, hotels and other segments. Audit reports were issued to the Committee and Board incorporating findings, recommendations to improve on the weaknesses noted in the course of the audits and management’s comments on the findings. An established system has been put in place to ensure that all remedial actions have been taken on the agreed audit issues and recommendations highlighted in the audit reports. Significant issues and matters unsatisfactorily resolved would be highlighted to the Committee. The Committee reviewed the audit reports presented by Internal Audit Department on findings and recommendations and management’s responses thereto and ensure that material findings are adequately addressed by management. The tasks, responsibilities, and goals of the Committee and internal auditing are closely intertwined in many ways. Certainly, as the magnitude of the “corporate accountability” issue increases, so does the significance of the internal auditing and audit committee relationship. The Committee has a private session (without management presence) with Head of Group Internal and Risk Management in assuring that the mechanisms for corporate accountability are in place and functioning. The total costs incurred for the internal audit function of the Group for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 was RM239,173 (2014: RM510,000). The substantial decrease in the internal audit cost was mainly attributed to the changes in the number of total headcounts following the establishment of a separate Group Internal Audit function. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 071 4. Risk review The Board and management drive a proactive risk management culture and ensure that the Group’s employees have a good understanding and application of risk management principles towards cultivating a sustainable risk management culture through education. Regular risk awareness sessions are conducted at the operational level to promote the understanding of risk management principles and practices across different functions within the Group. In addition, a risk-based approach is embedded into existing key processes as well as new key projects, and is compatible with the Group’s internal control systems. The Board conducts periodic reviews on the adequacy and integrity of the Group’s ERM framework and policies, particularly in relation to the mechanisms for principal risk identification, assessment, response and control, communication and monitoring. An annual review of the effectiveness of risk management and internal control processes was carried out by the Committee. The Committee focused its review on the Company’s risk mitigation and controls and the strategic and organisation-wide risks facing the Group. Review and assess the risk management activities and risk review reports of the Group, are as follows:• Bi-annual risk review reports compiled by the respective operating units’ Risk Management Committees, and annual presentation to and discussion with the Committee. • Operating units’ CEO/CFO’s Internal Certification and Assessment Disclosure. • Operating unit’s response to the Questionnaires on Control and Regulations. Control The details relating to risk management are reported separately under “Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control” on pages 089 to 091. 5. Assessing the effectiveness of external audit process The Committee places great importance on ensuring that there are high standards of quality and effectiveness in the external audit carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers. Audit quality is reviewed by the Committee throughout the year and includes reviewing and approving the annual audit plan to ensure that it is consistent with the scope of the audit engagement. In reviewing the audit plan, the Committee discussed the significant risk areas identified by PricewaterhouseCoopers most likely to give rise to a material financial reporting error or those that are perceived to be of higher risk and requiring additional audit emphasis. The Committee also considered the audit scope and materiality threshold. 072 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 AUDIT AND RISK MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT (Cont’d) The Committee met with PricewaterhouseCoopers at various stages during the audit process, including without management present, to discuss their remit and any issues arising from the audit. The Committee concluded that the effectiveness of the external audit process remains strong. 6. Auditors’ re-appointment review The Committee considered the reappointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers. This review took into account the following factors:(i) Auditors effectiveness The Committee met with management, including without the auditors present, to hear their views on the effectiveness of the external auditors. The criteria for assessing the effectiveness of the audit included the robustness of the audit, the quality of the audit delivery and the quality of the people and service. The Committee concluded that the performance of PricewaterhouseCoopers remained effective. (ii) Independence and objectivity The Committee considered the safeguards in place to protect the external auditors’ independence. PricewaterhouseCoopers follows the provisions of the By-Laws on Professional Independence of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“MIA”) and its own ethical guidelines, and reported to the Committee that it had considered its independence in relation to the audit and confirmed to the Committee that it complies with professional requirements and that its objectivity is not compromised. The Committee took this into account when considering the auditors’ independence and concluded that PricewaterhouseCoopers remained independent and objective in relation to the audit. (iii) Non-audit work carried out by the external auditors To help protect auditors objectivity and independence, the provision of any non-audit services provided by the external auditors requires prior approval, as set out in the table below:Approval thresholds for non-audit work Approver Below RM200,000 per engagement CFO Above RM200,000 and up to RM400,000 per engagement CEO Greater than RM400,000 per Committee engagement, or if the value of nonaudit fees to audit fees reaches a ratio of 1:2 as a result of a new engagement, regardless of value Certain types of non-audit service are of sufficiently low risk as not to require the prior approval of the Committee, such as “audit-related services” including the review of interim financial information. The prohibited services are those that have the potential to conflict directly with the auditors’ role, such as the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. The significant non-audit work undertaken by PricewaterhouseCoopers during the period included tax compliance and advisory services. The total of audit fees paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers during the period is set out in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements. The policy on audit and non-audit services of IOIPG is guided by the following principles:(a) the auditors may provide audit and non-audit related services that, while outside the scope of the statutory audit, are consistent with the role of auditors; (b) the external auditors should not provide services that are perceived to be materially in conflict with the role of auditors; (c) the external auditors may be permitted to provide non-audit services that are not perceived to be materially in conflict with the role of auditors; and (d) exceptions may be made to the policy where the variation is in the interest of IOIPG and arrangements are put in place to preserve the integrity of the external audit process. The Board must specifically approve any such exception. Before appointing the external auditors to undertake a non-audit service, consideration has been given to whether this would create a threat to the external auditors’ independence or objectivity. The nature and scope of non-audit fees provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers to IOIPG are specifically not prohibited by the By-Laws of MIA or promulgations of the International Federation of Accountants. By excluding the yearly routine tax compliance and tax retainer fees, the remaining portion of non-audit fees for tax advisory relative to the total audit fees was about 36%. The Committee was satisfied that neither the extent of the non-audit services provided nor the size of the fees charged had any impact on its independence as statutory auditors. Having considered the foregoing, the Committee was satisfied that the quantum of the total non-audit fees relative to the total statutory audit fees (being 83.8% of the audit fees) together with the other measures taken by the Company and the auditors meant that the auditors’ independence from the Group was not compromised. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD (iv) Audit fees The Committee was satisfied that the level of audit fees payable to PricewaterhouseCoopers in respect of the audit services provided (being RM902,000 for 2015) [2014: RM564,000 – fees paid to former external auditor] was appropriate and that an effective audit could be conducted for such a fee. The existing authority for the Directors (including the Committee) to determine the current remuneration of the external auditors is derived from the shareholders’ approval granted at the Company’s Annual General Meeting in 2014. Recommendation to reappoint Following its consideration, the Committee recommended to the Board the reappointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as external auditors. The Board has accepted this recommendation and a resolution for its reappointment for a further year will be put to the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. 7. Other matters considered by the Committee The Committee also:(i) reviewed whistleblowing activities to monitor the actions taken by the Group in respect of whistleblowing reports received. (ii) reviewed the Group’s compliance with the relevant provisions set out under the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 for the purpose of preparing the “Statement on Corporate Governance” and “Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control” pursuant to the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia. (iii) reviewed the internal audit report relating to existing related party transactions annually.

Based on that review, no changes to the Terms of Reference were necessary. Also, as required by its Terms of Reference, the Committee conducted an annual performance evaluation in an effort to continuously improve its processes. The Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and review the processes performed by management and external auditors. It is not the Committee’s duty or responsibility to conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures. The Committee members are not employees of the Company. Therefore, the Committee has relied, without independent verification, on management’s representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with approved accounting principles generally accepted in Malaysia and on the representations of external auditors included in its reports on the Company’s financial statements and internal control over financial reporting. 074 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE INTRODUCTION This Statement sets out the principles features of IOIPG Group’s corporate governance framework and main governance practices. At IOIPG Group, we continue to practice a governance framework that goes beyond an interest in governance for its own sake or the need to simply comply with regulatory requirements. In the same of spirit, we do not see governance is just a matter for the Board of Directors (the “Board”). Good governance is also the responsibility of senior management. The Board recognises the paramount importance of good corporate governance to the success of the Group. It strives to ensure that a high standard of corporate governance is being practised throughout the Group in ensuring continuous and sustainable growth for the interests of all its stakeholders. The Group’s corporate governance practices are guided by its “Vision IOI” whereby responsible and balanced commercial success is to be achieved by addressing the interests of all stakeholders. A set of core values guides our employees at all levels in the conduct and management of the business and affairs of the Group. We believe that good corporate governance results in quantifiable and sustainable long term success and value for shareholders as well as all other stakeholders, as reflected by our performance and track record over the years. During the financial year, the Group has received numerous accolades and awards in recognition of its efforts. The Group will continue its efforts in evaluating its governance practices in response to evolving best practices and the changing needs of the Group. The Board is pleased to present this Statement and explain how the Group has applied the principles and recommendations set out in the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 (the “Code”). The diagram below describes the governance framework at IOIPG Group. It shows interaction between the stakeholders and the Board, demonstrates how the Board Committee structure facilitates the interaction between the Board and the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and illustrates the flow of delegation from stakeholders. We have process in place to ensure the delegation flows through the Board and its committees to the CEO and management committees and into the organisation. At the same time, accountability flows back upwards from the Company to stakeholders.

The Executive Chairman is Tan Sri Dato’ Lee Shin Cheng and the role of CEO is fulfilled by Lee Yeow Seng. Their roles are separate and a clear division of responsibilities to distinguish between the running of the Board and the executive responsibility for running the business. Despite our Chairman is an executive member of the Board, the Board has the presence of Independent Directors with distinguished records and credentials to ensure that there is independence of judgement. The NRC was satisfied that notwithstanding Tan Sri Lee’s executive chairmanship, he has continued to discharge his duties effectively and has shown tremendous commitment and had played an integral role in the stewardship of IOI Properties Group Berhad. PR I N C I P L E 1 : E S TA B L I S H C L E A R R OLES AND RE S P O N S I B I L I T I E S The responsibilities of the Board, which should be set out in a Board Charter, include management oversight, setting strategic direction premised on sustainability and promoting ethical conduct in business dealings. Recommendation 1.1 The Board should establish clear functions reserved for the Board and those delegated to management The Board takes full responsibility for the oversight and overall performance of the Company and of the Group. The Board has a well-defined framework on the various categories of matters that require the Board’s approval, endorsement or notations, as the case may be. The Board reserves full decision-making powers, amongst others, on the following matters (save to the extent that the Board resolves that determination and/or approval of any such matter shall be delegated to the committees of the Board or management):a) Conflict of interest issues relating to a substantial shareholder or a Director; b) Material acquisitions and disposals of undertakings and properties not in the ordinary course of business; c) Material investments in capital projects; d) Annual budgets (including major capital commitments); e) Material corporate or financial exercise/restructuring; and f) Declaration of dividend and Directors’ fees. The Board is free to alter the matters reserved for its decision, subject to the limitations imposed by the Articles of Association and the law. To ensure the effective discharge of Board’s function and responsibilities, the Board delegates some of the Board authorities and discretion to the CEO as well as the properly constituted Board Committees. The Executive Chairman leads the Board and is responsible for the effective performance of the Board. As Executive Chairman, he also oversees the day-to-day operations to ensure the smooth and effective running of the Group. The CEO implements the policies, strategies and decisions adopted by the Board. All Board authorities conferred on the management is delegated through the CEO, Chief Operating Officers (“COOs”) and this will be considered as their authority and accountability as far as the Board is concerned. The CEO takes on primary responsibility for managing the Group’s day-to-day business and resources. His intimate knowledge of the business and his “hands-on” management practices enabled the Group to have leadership positions in its chosen industries. COOs and the head of each division are responsible for supporting the CEO and assisting the CEO in implementing and running the Group’s day-to-day business. The Independent Non-Executive Directors are actively involved in various Board Committees and contribute significantly to areas such as performance monitoring and enhancement of corporate governance and controls. They provide a broader view, independent assessment and opinions on management proposals sponsored by the CEO and COOs. 076 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Cont’d) Recommendation 1.2 Recommendation 1.3 The Board should establish clear roles and responsibilities in discharging its fiduciary and leadership functions The Board should formalise ethical standards through a code of conduct and ensure its compliance The duties and responsibilities of the Board are clearly spelt out in the Board Charter. To facilitate the discharge of this responsibility and oversight role, the Board is assisted by a number of Board Committees to which the Board has delegated certain key matters. All Directors and employees are expected to behave ethically and professionally at all times and thereby protect and promote the reputation and performance of the Company. The Board Committees namely, the ARMC, NRC and the ESOS Committee, all collectively referred to hereafter as the “Committees” are entrusted with specific responsibilities to oversee the Group’s affairs, in accordance with their respective clear written terms of reference. All terms of reference of the Committees are approved by the Board and reviewed periodically to ensure their continued relevance. At each meeting, the Chairmen of the Committees report to the Board on the key issues deliberated and outcome of the Committees meetings. Minutes of the Committees meetings will also be presented to the Board for notation and endorsement. The Board establishes the vision and strategic objectives of the Group, directing policies, strategic action plans and stewardship of the Group’s resources towards realising “Vision IOI”. The Board assumes, amongst others, the following significant responsibilities:a) reviewing and adopting strategic plans for the Group, including monitoring the implementation of the strategic plan by management; b) overseeing the conduct of the Group’s businesses and the performance of management to determine whether its businesses are being properly managed; c) identifying principal business risks faced by the Group and ensuring the implementation of appropriate internal controls and mitigating measures to address such risks; d) ensuring all candidates appointed to the Board are of sufficient calibre, including having in place a process to provide for the orderly succession of the members of the Board and diversity (including gender diversity); e) overseeing the development and implementation of an investor relations programme and shareholder communications policy; and f) reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the Group’s internal control and management information systems.

Board reports are circulated prior to the Board meetings to enable the Directors to obtain further information and explanation, where necessary, before the meetings. The motivation for IOIPG Group to engage in environmentally responsible practices is reflected in the benefits of sustainable commercial and residential property practices. As an organization seeks to enhance its probability of achieving business success and sustainability, the Group has moved through several phases, during which it progressively broadens the scope of its approach: first quality management, then business excellence, and finally business sustainability. Our commitment to sustainability continues to accelerate our business strategy.

PRINCIPLE 2: STRENGTHEN COMPOSITION The Board should have transparent policies and procedures that will assist in the selection of Board members. The Board should comprise members who bring value to Board deliberations. Recommendation 2.1 The Board should establish a Nominating Committee which should comprise exclusively of Non-Executive Directors, a majority of whom must be independent The NRC of the Board comprises exclusively three (3) Independent Non-Executive Directors as follows:NRC Members Designation Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting Chairman, Senior Independent Non-Executive Director Datuk Tan Kim Leong @ Tan Choong Min Member, Independent Non-Executive Director Datuk Dr Tan Kim Heung Member, Independent Non-Executive Director The NRC is responsible to review and recommend the appropriate remuneration policies applicable to Directors and CEO, the appointment and evaluation of the performance of the Directors and Board Committees. The full term of reference of NRC is available on our website. The main activities of the NRC were as follows: 1. Reviewed the Executive Directors’ remunerations and Directors’ Fees; 2. Performance evaluation of the Board, various Board Committees and key officer(s) of the Company; 3. Evaluation of Directors seeking re-election and re-appointment at the forthcoming AGM prior to their endorsement by the Board; and 4. Deliberated on the gender diversity of boardroom prior to the new appointment of Director. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 079 Recommendation 2.2 Board Evaluation Criteria The Nominating Committee should develop, maintain and review the criteria to be used in the recruitment process and annual assessment of Directors The Board evaluation comprises Performance Evaluation of the Board and various Board Committees, Director’s Peer Evaluation and Independent Directors’ Self-Assessment. Selection of candidates to be considered for appointment as Directors is facilitated through recommendations from the Directors, management or external parties including the Company’s contacts in related industries, and finance, legal and accounting professions. The NRC, where necessary, meets with the shortlisted candidates to assess their suitability before formally considering and recommending them for appointment to the Board. The assessment of the Board is based on four (4) main areas relating to Board structure, Board operations, Board and Chairman’s roles and responsibilities and Board Committees’ role and responsibilities. In reviewing and recommending to the Board any new Director appointments, the NRC considers: (a) the candidate’s independence, in the case of the appointment of an Independent Non-Executive Director; (b) the composition requirements for the Board and Committees (if the candidate is proposed to be appointed to any of the Committees); (c) the candidate’s age, track record, skills, knowledge, expertise, experience, professionalism, integrity, capabilities and such other relevant factors as may be determined by the NRC which would contribute to the Board’s collective skills; and (d) any competing time commitments if the candidate has multiple board representations. The Board through the NRC also annually reviews its required mix of skills and experience and other qualities, including core competencies which the Directors should bring to the Board. The Board has also implemented a process to be carried out by the NRC annually for continuous assessment and feedback to the Board on the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the Board Committees and the contribution of each individual Director. When deliberating on the performance of a particular Director who is also a member of the NRC, that member abstains from the discussions in order to avoid any conflict of interests. The NRC will reassess the qualifications of a Director, including the Director’s past contributions to the Board and the Director’s attendance and contributions at Board and Committee meetings, prior to recommending a Director for re-election or re-appointment to another term. The results of the individual evaluation of the Directors are also used by the NRC, in its consultation with the Chairman of the Board, to review, where appropriate, the composition of the Board and Committees, and to support its proposals, if any, for appointment of new members and its recommendations for the re-appointment and re-election of retiring Directors. Comments from the Directors, if any, concerning the Board as a whole and the general performance of the Directors, are also presented to the Board. The performance of COOs and Chief Financial Officer and other key executives are reviewed yearly by the CEO. For Director’s Peer Evaluation, the assessment criteria include abilities and competencies, calibre and personality, technical knowledge, objectivity and the level of participation at Board and Committee meetings including his contribution to Board processes and the business strategies and performance of the Group. The criteria for assessing the independence of an Independent Director include the relationship between the Independent Director and the Group and his involvement in any significant transaction with the Group. During the year under review, the Board conducted an internally facilitated Board assessment. Directors provide anonymous feedback on their peers’ performance and individual performance contributions to the Board. The review supported the Board’s decision to endorse all retiring Directors standing for re-election. Re-election and Re-appointment of Directors In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association (“Articles”), all Directors who are appointed by the Board are subject to re-election by shareholders at the first opportunity after their appointment. The Articles also provide that at least one-third (1/3) of the remaining Directors be subject to re-election by rotation at each AGM provided always that all Directors shall retire from office at least once every three (3) years but shall be eligible for re-election. Pursuant to Section 129 of the Companies Act, 1965, Directors who are over the age of seventy (70) years shall retire at every AGM and may offer themselves for re-appointment to hold office until the next AGM. The Director retires by rotation due for re-election pursuant to Article 87 of the Articles at the forthcoming Third AGM is Datuk Dr Tan Kim Heung. The profile of the Director who is due for re-election is set out on page 059. The Directors who are due for retirement and re-appointment in accordance to Section 129 of the Companies Act, 1965 at the forthcoming Third AGM are Tan Sri Dato’ Lee Shin Cheng and Datuk Tan Kim Leong @ Tan Chong Min. Their profiles are set out on pages 055 and 059. 080 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Cont’d) Diversity account the present size of the Board, the valuable knowledge and experience of the present Board members and the evolving challenges to the Company over time. Nevertheless, the Board is endeavouring to have a women board member in the near future. The Board recognises the value of appointing individual Directors who bring a variety of diverse opinions, perspectives, skills, experiences, backgrounds and orientations to its discussions and its decision-making processes. All appointments to the Board will be made on merit while taking into account suitability for the role, board balance and composition, the required mix of skills, background and experience (including consideration of diversity). Other relevant matters will also be taken into account, such as independence and the ability to fulfill required time commitments in the case of Non-Executive Directors. We are committed to diversity and have had an equal employment opportunity policy that goes beyond gender in terms of promoting diversity in our business, in place for some time.The Board has not set specific gender diversity targets at this time. We have a relatively even spread of employees across all age brackets which is reflective of our culture of teamwork and respect. Below is a summary of the gender mix of our team (excluding foreign workers): The Board recognises the challenges in achieving the right balance of diversity on the Board. This will be done over time, taking into Employees diversity gender disclosure Headcount of All Employees % of All Employees Headcount of Male Employees % of Male Employees Headcount of Female Employees % of Female Employees 20 – 29 610 33.52 356 32.33 254 35.33 30 – 39 644 35.39 348 31.61 296 41.17 40 – 49 383 21.04 257 23.34 126 17.52 50 – 59 166 9.12 126 11.45 40 5.56 60 – 69 16 0.88 13 1.18 3 0.42 1 0.05 1 0.09 – – 1,820 100.00 1,101 100.00 719 100.00 Age Bracket 70 & above Grand Total 60% 40% Management position and Directors on the Board of IOIPG Category In management position (Manager & above) Directors on the Board of the Company In management position 65% 35% Total Headcount Headcount of Male Employees % of Male Employees Headcount of Female Employees % of Female Employees 193 126 65.28 67 34.72 7 7 100.00 – – IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD Recommendation 2.3 The Board should establish formal and transparent remuneration policies and procedures to attract and retain Directors The NRC reviews and submits recommendation to the Board on remuneration packages of Directors in accordance with the Company’s policy guidelines which sets a proportionately high variable pay component to the remuneration package so as to strongly link remuneration to performance, experience and the level of responsibilities. All Directors are paid annual fees and meeting allowance for each Board meeting that they attend. The level of remuneration of Non-Executive Directors reflects their experience and level of 081 ANNUAL REPORT 2015 responsibility undertaken by them. Hence, the members of the ARMC and the Chairman of NRC receive additional fees taking into consideration the nature of their responsibilities. The fees for Directors are determined by the full Board with the approval from shareholders at the AGM. The components of the Executive Director’s remuneration are structured to link rewards to corporate and individual performance. No Director is involved in deciding his own remuneration.

The Board composition complies with the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities that requires a minimum of two (2) Directors or one-third (1/3) of the Board, whichever is the higher, to be Independent Directors. Although a relatively mid-sized Board, it provides an effective blend of entrepreneurship, business and professional expertise in business and risk management, financial (including audit, tax and accounting), legal and technical areas of the industries the Group is involved in. The members of the Board with their combined business, management and professional experience, knowledge and expertise, provide the core competencies to allow for diverse and objective perspectives on the Group’s business and direction. Taking into account the scope and nature of the operations of the Group, the Board is satisfied that the current composition and size of the Board provide for sufficient diversity and yet allow for effective decision making. A brief profile of each Director is presented on pages 054 to 059 of the Annual Report, and the Notice of AGM for Directors proposed for re-election and re-appointment at the 2015 AGM. Currently, no alternate Directors have been appointed in respect of any of the Directors.

A Director may be considered independent in character and judgement if he/she is independent of management and free from any business or other relationship which could interfere with the exercise of independent judgement or the ability to act in the best interests of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an independent director is one who: (a) is not an executive director of the Company or any related corporation of the Company; (b) has not been within the last two (2) years and is not an officer (except as a non-executive director) of the Company. For this purpose, “officer” has the meaning given in Section 4 of the Companies Act, 1965; (c) is not a major shareholder the Company; (d) is not a family member of any executive director, officer or major shareholder of the Company; (e) is not acting as a nominee or representative of any executive director or major shareholder of the Company; (f) has not been engaged as an adviser by the Company under such circumstances as prescribed by Bursa Securities or is not presently a partner, director (except as an independent director) or major shareholder, as the case may be, of a firm or corporation which provides professional advisory services to the Company under such circumstances as prescribed by Bursa Securities; or (g) has not engaged in any transaction with the Company under such circumstances as prescribed by Bursa Securities or is not presently a partner, director or major shareholder, as the case may be, of a firm or corporation (other than subsidiaries of the Company) which has engaged in any transaction with the Company under such circumstances as prescribed by Bursa Securities. In addition to the annual review by the NRC of the Directors’ independence, each Independent Non-Executive Director also submits an annual declaration. In accordance with the best practices in corporate governance, Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting continues to play his role as the Senior Independent Non-Executive Director of the Board to whom concerns of shareholders and stakeholders may be conveyed. The Senior Independent Non-Executive Director may be contacted at Tel: +(603) 8947 8900 and email: ktong@ioigroup.com. Upon the retirement of Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting after the conclusion of the 3rd AGM, Datuk Tan Kim Leong @ Tan Chong Min shall be the contact person until further notice.

The Board has adopted a letter of appointment that contains the terms on which Non-Executive Directors will be appointed. The letter of appointment clearly defines role of Directors, including among others, the expectations in terms of independence participation, time commitment and continuous improvement. Currently, the office tenure of other existing Independent Non-Executive Directors is still less than five (5) years. The Board is mindful of the compliance of the Recommendations 3.2 and 3.3 of the Code. The Board also believes that each of them has retained independence of character and judgement and has not formed associations with management that might compromise their ability to exercise independent judgement or act in the best interests of IOIPG Group. PRINCIPLE 4: FOSTER COMMITMENT Directors should devote sufficient time to carry out their responsibilities, regularly updates their knowledge and enhance their skills. Recommendation 4.1 The Board should set out expectations on time commitment for its members and protocols for accepting new directorships The Board is satisfied with the level of time commitment by each of the Directors toward fulfilling their roles on the Board and Board Committees. The Board has at least five (5) regularly scheduled meetings annually, with additional meetings for particular matters convened as and when necessary. Board meetings bring an independent judgement to bear on issues of strategies, risks, performance, resources and standards of conduct. Eight (8) Board meetings were held during the financial year ended 30 June 2015. The attendance record of each Director since the last financial year was as follows: ANNUAL REPORT 2015 083 Total Number of Meetings Number of Meetings Attended Executive Directors Tan Sri Dato’ Lee Shin Cheng 8 8 Lee Yeow Seng 8 8 Non-Executive Directors Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting 8 8 Dato’ Lee Yeow Chor 8 7 Datuk Tan Kim Leong @ Tan Chong Min 8 8 Datuk Lee Say Tshin 8 7 Datuk Dr Tan Kim Heung 8 8 The Directors are required to disclose and update their directorships and shareholdings in other companies as and when necessary.

Recommendation 5.1 The Audit Committee should ensure financial statements comply with applicable financial reporting standards In presenting the annual financial statements and quarterly financial results announcements to shareholders, the Board aims to present a balanced and comprehensible assessment of the Group’s financial position and prospects and ensures that the financial results are released to Bursa Securities within the stipulated time frame and that the financial statements comply with regulatory reporting requirements. In this regard, the Board is assisted by the ARMC in overseeing and governing the Group’s financial reporting processes and the quality of its financial reporting. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2015. 085 In addition to the Chairman’s Statement, the Annual Report of the Company contains the following additional non-mandatory information to enhance shareholders’ understanding of the business operations of the Group: • Management’s discussion and analysis; and • Financial trends and highlights, key performance indicators and other background industry notes deemed necessary. Directors’ Responsibility for Preparing the Annual Audited Financial Statements The Directors are required by the Companies Act, 1965 (the “Act”) to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Group and of the Company’s state of affairs, results and cash flows. The Directors are of the opinion that the Group uses appropriate accounting policies that are consistently applied and supported by reasonable as well as prudent judgements and estimates, and that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the provisions of the Act and the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities. 086 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Cont’d) The Directors are satisfied that the Group and the Company keep accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Group and of the Company and which enable proper financial statements to be prepared. They have also taken the necessary steps to ensure that appropriate systems are in place to safeguard the assets of the Group, and to detect and prevent fraud as well as other irregularities. The systems, by their nature can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatements, loss and fraud. The Company requires that the engagement partner involved in the external audit should not remain in a key audit role beyond five (5) years and cannot be re-engaged to play a significant role in the audit of the Company for at least another two (2) successive years. This is consistent with current By-Laws (on Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants. PRINCIPLE 6: RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISKS Recommendation 5.2 The Board should establish a sound risk management framework and internal controls system. The Audit Committee should have policies and procedures to assess the suitability and independence of external auditors Recommendation 6.1 The policy and procedure to assess the suitability and independence of external auditors can be viewed on our website. The ARMC meets periodically to carry out its functions and duties pursuant to its terms of reference. Other Board members also attend meetings upon the invitation of the ARMC. At least twice a year, the ARMC meets with the external auditors without executive Board members present. The Board maintains a transparent and professional relationship with the Group’s external auditors. The criteria for the external auditors assessment include quality of services, sufficiency of resources, communication and interaction, audit planning, independence, objectivity and professional skepticism. In determining the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers, the ARMC reviewed all aspects of their relationships with them including the processes, policies and safeguards adopted by the Group and PricewaterhouseCoopers relating to audit independence. The non-statutory audit fees incurred for services rendered to the Group by PricewaterhouseCoopers Malaysia and member firms of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 was RM756,000 [2014: RM108,000 – fees paid to BDO (former external auditors)]. Additional disclosures on non-statutory audit fees can be found in ARMC Report. The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditors and are satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditors are compatible with the auditors’ independence requirements. The Board should establish a sound framework to manage risks The Board has established a framework to formulate and review risk management policies and risk strategies. Information on the Group’s internal control is presented in the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control. Recommendation 6.2 The Board should establish an internal audit function which reports directly to the Audit Committee Group’s internal audit function is carried out by the Internal Audit (“IA”) Department, which reports directly to the ARMC on its activities based on the approved annual Internal Audit Plan. The function comprises a dedicated in-house team of qualified professionals based in Putrajaya.

The appointment, resignation and dismissal of the Head of IA is reviewed and approved by the ARMC. The ARMC also provides input on the annual performance appraisal of the Head of IA. The Head of IA has unfettered access to the ARMC, the Board and management. The Head of IA and a number of internal auditors of the IA Department are members of The Institute of Internal Auditors Malaysia. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD PRINCIPLE 7: ENSURE TIMELY AND HIGH QUALITY DISCLOSURE Companies should establish corporate disclosure policies and procedures to ensure comprehensive, accurate and timely disclosure.

To ensure that communications to the public regarding IOIPG Group are timely, factual, accurate and complete, we have put in place a Media Disclosure Policy which outlines the central principles and practices in communicating with the media. This Media Disclosure Policy is applicable to all Directors, those authorised to speak on IOIPG Group’s behalf as well as all the employees of IOIPG Group. It covers Media Guidelines comprising media protocols to engage with the media in a responsible, productive, and positive manner whilst keeping the integrity of IOIPG Group in mind. Recommendation 7.2 The Board should encourage the Company to leverage on information technology for effective dissemination of information The Company’s website is the key communication channel for the Company to reach its shareholders and general public. The Investor Relations section enhances the investor relations function by including all announcements made by the Company, financial results, annual reports, corporate presentation, financial calendar as well as enquiries. The shareholders and general public may direct their enquiries on the Company via “Enquiries” and the Company’s Investor Relations team will endeavor to reply to these queries in the shortest possible time. PRINCIPLE 8: STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMPANY AND SHAREHOLDERS The Board should facilitate the exercise of ownership rights by shareholders. Recommendation 8.1 The Board should take reasonable steps to encourage shareholder participation at general meetings All shareholders of the Company receive the Annual Report of the Company and the notice of AGM, which notice is also advertised in the press and released via BURSA LINK. The chairmen of the ARMC, NRC and the external auditors were present at the last AGM, and will endeavour to be present at the 2015 AGM to assist the Directors in addressing queries raised by the shareholders. Historically, the Company’s AGMs have been well attended. It has always been the practice for the Chairman to provide ample time for the Q&A sessions in the AGMs and for suggestions and comments by shareholders to be noted by management for consideration. Recommendation 8.2 The Board should encourage poll voting The Company provides for separate resolutions at general meetings on each substantial issue. Pursuant to the Articles of the Company, all resolutions put to the vote at a general meeting of the Company shall be decided on a show of hands unless before or upon the declaration of the result, a poll is demanded as follows: (i) by the Chairman of the meeting; or (ii) by at least two (2) members present in person or by proxy or by attorney or in the case of a corporation by a representative; or 088 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Cont’d) (iii) by a member or members present in person or by proxy or by attorney or in the case of a corporation by a representative and representing not less than one-tenth (1/10) of the total voting rights of all the members having the right to vote at the meeting; or (iv) by a member or members present in person or by proxy or by attorney or in the case of a corporation by a representative holding shares in the Company conferring a right to vote at the meeting being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid-up equal to not less than one-tenth (1/10) of the total sum paid-up on all the shares conferring that right (excluding treasury shares).

Pursuant to Paragraph 10.08(7A), Chapter 10 of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities, the Chairman of the meeting will be exercising his rights under Article 69 of the Company’s Articles for resolution approving related party transaction(s) at the general meetings and at any adjournment thereof to be put to the vote by way of poll. Recommendation 8.3 The Board should promote effective communication and proactive engagements with shareholders The Company strives to maintain an open and transparent channel of communication with its stakeholders, institutional investors and the investing public at large with the objective of providing a clear and complete picture of the Group’s performance and financial position as possible. The Company believes that a constructive and effective investor relationship is an essential factor in enhancing value for its shareholders. However, whilst the Company endeavours to provide as much information as possible to its shareholders and stakeholders, it is mindful of the legal and regulatory framework governing the release of material and pricesensitive information. The AGM is the principal forum for dialogue with shareholders, who are given the opportunity to enquire and seek clarification on the operations and financial performance of the Group. In addition, the Company uses the following key investor relation activities in its interaction with investors: • Meeting with analysts and institutional fund managers; • Participating in roadshows and investors conferences; and • Participating in teleconferences with investors and analysts. The Group has also established several websites with the main one being www.ioiproperties.com.my for shareholders and the public to access corporate information, financial statements, news and events related to the Group on a timely basis.

During the financial year, the Group had approximately 39 meetings with analysts and investors. The Group enjoys a relatively high level of coverage and exposure to the investment community. Besides the above, management believes that the Company’s Annual Report is a vital and convenient source of essential information for existing and potential investors and other stakeholders. Accordingly, the Company strives to provide a high level of reporting and transparency that goes beyond mandatory requirements in order to provide value for users. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 089 STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL INTRODUCTION RISK MANAGEMENT This Statement is in line with Paragraph 15.26(b) of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad on the Group’s compliance with the Principles and Best Practices relating to internal control as stipulated in the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 and guided by the Statement on Risk Management & Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers. The Group adopts an Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) framework which is consistent with the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission’s (“COSO”) ERM framework, the Statement on Risk Management & Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers, Bursa Malaysia’s Corporate Governance Guide, and is in line with ISO 31000, Risk Management – Principles and Guidelines (which is a standard relating to risk management codified by the International Organization for Standardization. ISO 31000 provides a standard on the implementation of risk management). ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES The Board of Directors (the “Board”) affirms its overall responsibility for the Group’s system of internal control, including the assurance of its adequacy and integrity, and its alignment with business objectives. However, it should be noted that control systems are designed to manage rather than to totally eliminate associated risks; and as such, can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material loss or failure. The Group’s ERM framework essentially links the Group’s objectives and goals (that are aligned to its Vision) to principal risks; and the principal risks to controls and opportunities that are translated to actions and programmes. The framework also outlines the Group’s approach to its risk management policies: i) Embrace risks that offer opportunities for superior returns The Board has established a process for identifying, evaluating, monitoring and managing the significant risks faced by the Group in its achievement of objectives and strategies. This process is also applicable to the property development activities undertaken by the Group through joint ventures, to the extent that the Group reviews and manages significant risks in order to achieve the Group’s business objectives, performs bi-annual risk review and monitors key control activities in relation to the principal risks. This process has been in place for the year under review and up to the date of approval of this Statement. ORGANISATION HIERARCHY BOARD (Executive Management) By linking risks to capital, the Group establishes risk-adjusted-return thresholds and targets that commensurate with varying risk levels assumed by its businesses. Superior risk management and other corporate governance practices are also promoted as contributing factors to lowering long-term cost of funds and boosting economic returns through an optimal balance between control costs and benefits. BUSINESS OBJECTIVES HIERARCHY FRAME OF REFERENCE VISION EXTERNAL RISKS IG AL Operational Goals & Targets D Operation/Functions (Executives & Staff) Strategic Objectives & Goals NE Divisions & SBU (Senior Management & Mid-Management) INTERNAL RISKS 090 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL (Cont’d) ii) Risk Management as a collective responsibility By engaging every level of the organisation as risk owners of their immediate sphere of risks (as shown in the illustration), the Group aims to approach risk management holistically. This is managed through an oversight structure involving the Board, Audit and Risk Management Committee (“ARMC”), Internal Audit, Executive Management and business units’ Risk Management Committees. iii) Risk forbearance shall not exceed capabilities and capacity to manage Any business risk to be assumed shall be within the Group’s core competencies to manage. Hence, the continuous effort in building risk management capabilities and capacity are key components of the Group’s ERM effort. The Group’s overall risk appetite is based on assessments of the Group’s risk management capabilities and capacity. iv) To apply as both a control and strategic tool As a control tool, the Group ensures that the intensity and types of controls commensurate with assessed risk rankings. The Group also applies risk management as a strategic tool in scoping opportunities, investment and resource allocation, strategy formulation and performance measurement. The Board conducts periodic reviews on the adequacy and integrity of the Group’s ERM framework and policies, particularly in relation to the mechanisms for principal risks identification, assessment, response and control, communication and monitoring. The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of risks, including operating and financial risks. The Group’s overall risk management objective is to ensure that the Group creates value for its shareholders whilst minimising potential adverse effects on its performance and positions. The Group operates within an established risk management framework and clearly defined policies and guidelines that are approved by the Board. Under the Group’s ERM framework, the Group has relevant policies and guidelines on risk reporting and disclosure which cover the following principal risks: I) OPERATING RISK • The Group’s policy is to assume operating risks that are within its core businesses and competencies to manage. Operating risk management ranges from managing strategic operating risks to managing diverse day-to-day operational risks. • The management of the Group’s day-to-day operational risks (such as those relating to health and safety, quality, marketing and statutory compliance) is mainly decentralised at the business unit level and guided by approved standard operating procedures. Operational risks that cut across the organisation (such as those relating to procurement, integrated systems and reputation) are coordinated centrally. II) FINANCIAL RISK • The Group is exposed to various financial risks relating to credit, liquidity, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. The Group’s risk management objectives and policies coupled with the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures relating to its financial risks are set out in Note 39 to the financial statements on pages 190 to 204. CONTROL ENVIRONMENT • The Group’s corporate culture is embedded in its core values of integrity, commitment, loyalty, excellence in execution, speed or timeliness, innovativeness and cost efficiency – to achieve the Group’s vision and support the business objectives, risk management and internal control system. • The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics reinforces the Group’s core value on integrity by providing guidance on moral and ethical behaviour that is expected from all employees in following the laws, policies, standards and procedures. • Board committees such as the ARMC and Nominating and Remuneration Committee are established by the Board, and they are governed by clearly defined terms of reference and authority for areas within their scope. • The Group has an organisational structure that is aligned with its business and operational requirements, with clearly defined lines of responsibility and authority levels. CONTROL ACTIVITIES • Policies and procedures have been established for key business processes and support functions. The Group has in place a system to ensure that there are adequate risk management, financial and operational policies, procedures and rules relating to the delegation and segregation of duties. • Annual business plans and operating budgets are prepared by business and operating units, and are approved by the Board. Actual performance and significant variances against budget are monitored on an ongoing basis. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION PROCESSES • Management and the Board receive timely, relevant and reliable management and financial reports which are reviewed on a regular basis. • The Group has in place a Management Information System that captures, compiles, analyses and reports relevant data, which enables management to make business decisions in an accurate and timely manner. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD • A whistleblowing policy is established to provide appropriate communication and feedback channels which facilitate whistleblowing, in a transparent and confidential manner. It outlines the Group’s commitment to encourage its employees and stakeholders to raise genuine concerns about possible improprieties in matters of financial reporting, compliance, suspected violations of the Group’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and to disclose any improper conduct or other malpractices within the Group (i.e. whistleblowing) in an appropriate way. MONITORING • The Group’s policies and procedures are reviewed and revised periodically to meet changing business and operational needs and regulatory requirements. • Board meetings are held at least once in a quarter with a formal agenda on matters for discussion. In addition, regular management and operation meetings are conducted by senior management which comprises the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and divisional heads. • The Group’s Internal Audit function reports to the ARMC and is guided by an Internal Audit Charter that is approved by the Board. The Internal Audit function monitors compliance with the Group’s policies and procedures and applicable laws and regulations, and provides independent assurance on the adequacy and effectiveness of risk management and internal control system by conducting regular audits and continuous assessment. Significant audit findings and recommendations for improvement are highlighted to senior management and the ARMC, with periodic follow-up reviews of the implementation of corrective action plans. RISK REVIEW FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR A review on the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management and internal control system has been undertaken for the financial year under review. Each business unit, cutting across all geographic areas, via its respective Risk Management Committees and workgroups comprising personnel at various levels carried out the following areas of work: • Conducted reviews and updates of risk profiles including emerging risks and re-rated principal risks. • Evaluated the adequacy of key processes, systems, and internal controls in relation to the rated principal risks, and established strategic responses, actionable programmes and tasks to manage the aforementioned and/or eliminate performance gaps. • Ensured internal audit programmes covered identified principal risks. Audit findings throughout the financial period served as key feedback to validate effectiveness of risk management activities and embedded internal controls. • Reviewed implementation progress of actionable programmes, and evaluated post-implementation effectiveness. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 091 The review includes the following: • Regular internal audit reports and periodic discussions with the ARMC. • Bi-annual risk reviews compiled by the respective units’ Risk Management Committees, and annual presentation to and discussion with the ARMC, the Board, internal auditors, and external auditors. • Operating units’ CEO/Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”)’s Internal Control Certification and Assessment disclosure. • Operating units’ response to the Questionnaires on Control and Regulations. REVIEW OF THIS STATEMENT BY EXTERNAL AUDITORS As required by Paragraph 15.23 of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Main Market Listing Requirements, the external auditors have reviewed this Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control. Their limited assurance review was performed in accordance with Recommended Practice Guide (“RPG”) 5 (Revised) issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants. RPG 5 (Revised) does not require the external auditors to form an opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management and internal control systems of the Group. Based on the procedures performed, nothing had come to their attention that caused them to believe that the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control set out above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the disclosures required by paragraphs 41 and 42 of the Statement on Risk Management & Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers, nor was factually inaccurate. CONCLUSION The Board is satisfied with the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s risk management and internal control system.

As at the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances: (a) which would render the amounts written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; (b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading; and (c) which have arisen which would render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate.

(b) no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report which is likely to affect substantially the results of operations of the Group and of the Company for the financial year in which this report is made. 102 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont’d) DIFFERENT FINANCIAL YEAR END OF SUBSIDIARIES Due to local requirements, two (2) indirect subsidiaries of the Company, IOI (Xiamen) Properties Co.

CORPORATE INFORMATION The Company was incorporated in Malaysia on 25 February 2013 as a private limited liability company and domiciled in Malaysia. On 4 June 2013, the Company converted its legal form from a private limited liability company to a public limited liability company. On 15 January 2014, the ordinary shares of the Company were quoted and listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”). The registered office and principal place of business of the Company is located at Two IOI Square, IOI Resort, 62502 Putrajaya. The financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution by Board of Directors on 1 September 2015. 2. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are set out in Note 44 to the financial statements. There have been no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Group and of the Company during the financial year. 3. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3.1 Basis of Preparation The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards (“FRSs”) and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia. However, Note 46 to the financial statements has been prepared in accordance with Guidance on Special Matter No. 1 Determination of Realised and Unrealised Profits or Losses in the Context of Disclosure Pursuant to Bursa Malaysia’s Listing Requirements, as issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“MIA Guidance”) and the Directive of Bursa Malaysia. 3.2 Basis of accounting The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as otherwise stated in the financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRSs requires the Directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. In addition, the Directors are also required to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving such judgements, estimates and assumptions are disclosed in Note 5 to the financial statements. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on the Directors’ best knowledge of events and actions, actual results could differ from those estimates. 3.3 Presentation currency The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is also the Company’s functional currency and all financial information presented in RM are rounded to the nearest thousand (RM’000), except where otherwise stated. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 4. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 115 ADOPTION OF NEW FRSs AND AMENDMENT TO FRSs 4.1 New FRSs adopted during the current financial year The Group and the Company adopted the following Standards of the FRS Framework that were issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) during the current financial year.

ADOPTION OF NEW FRSs AND AMENDMENT TO FRSs (Continued) 4.3 New Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRSs”) that have been issued, but have yet to be adopted during the current financial year Based on the MASB announcement on 2 September 2014, the effective date for the adoption of MFRS Framework by transitioning entities (i.e. entities affected by MFRS 141 Agriculture and/or IC Interpretation 15 Agreements for Construction of Real Estate) was deferred from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. Accordingly, as a transitioning entity as defined by the MASB, the Group has elected to continue to apply the FRS Framework up till its financial year ending 30 June 2017 and will adopt the MFRS Framework that were issued by the MASB before or during the financial year ending 30 June 2018. In adopting the new framework, the Group will be applying MFRS 1 First-time adoption of MFRS. 5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS 5.1 Changes in estimates Estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Directors are of the opinion that there are no material changes in estimates at the end of the reporting period other than that as disclosed in Note 18 to the financial statements. 5.2 Critical judgements made in applying accounting policies There are no significant judgements made by management in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. 5.3 Key sources of estimation uncertainty The following are key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. 5.3.1Property development The Group recognises property development revenue and expenses in profit or loss by using the “percentage of completion” method. The percentage of completion is determined by the proportion of property development costs incurred for work performed up to the reporting period over the estimated total property development costs. Significant judgements are required in determining the percentage of completion, the extent of the property development costs incurred, the estimated total property development revenue and costs, as well as the recoverability of the development projects. In making the judgements, the Group evaluates based on past experience and by relying on the work of specialists. 5.3.2Income taxes The Group is subject to income taxes of different jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the estimated taxable income, capital allowances and deductibility of certain expenses based on the interpretation of the tax laws and legislations during the estimation of the provision for income taxes. The Group recognised liabilities for tax based on estimates of assessment of the tax liability due. Where the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences would impact the income tax and deferred income tax provisions, where applicable, in the period in which such determination is made. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 5. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 117 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued) 5.3 Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Continued) 5.3.3Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit would be available against which the unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that could be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits. 5.3.4Depreciation of property, plant and equipment The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ useful lives. The estimated useful lives applied by the Group as disclosed in Note 6.3 to the financial statements reflect the Directors’ estimate of the period that the Group expects to derive future economic benefits from the use of the Group’s property, plant and equipment. These common life expectancies are applied in the business segment of the Group. Changes in the expected level of usage and other commercial factors could impact the economic useful lives or principal annual rates of depreciation and the residual values of these assets and therefore, depreciation charges could be revised. 5.3.5Fair value measurement The fair value measurement of the financial and non-financial assets and liabilities of the Group utilises market observable inputs and data. Inputs used in determining fair value measurements are categorised into different levels based on how observable the inputs used in the valuation technique utilised are: (i) Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical items (unadjusted); (ii) Level 2: Observable direct or indirect inputs other than Level 1 inputs; and (iii) Level 3: Unobservable inputs (i.e. not derived from market data). The classification of an item into the above levels is based on the lowest level of the inputs used in the fair value measurement of the item. Transfers of items between levels are recognised in the period they occur. The Group measures investment property at fair value as disclosed in Note 6.7 to the financial statements. The Group engages professional valuers to perform valuations on investment properties as disclosed separately in Note 18 to the financial statements. 118 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements by the Group’s entities, unless otherwise stated. 6.1 Basis of consolidation 6.1.1Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has: (a) Power over the investee; (b) Exposure or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (c) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. If the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including: (a) The contractual arrangement with the other investee; (b) Rights arising from other contractual agreements; and (c) The voting rights of the Group and potential voting rights. Intragroup balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the interest of the Group in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no impairment. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as that of the Company, using consistent accounting policies. Where necessary, accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the other entities in the Group. Non-controlling interests represent equity in subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the parent, and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group up to the effective date on which control ceases, as appropriate. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the financial year are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 6. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 119 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.1 Basis of consolidation (Continued) 6.1.1Subsidiaries (Continued) Disposal of subsidiaries If the Group loses control of a subsidiary as a result of a transaction, event or other circumstances, the Group would derecognise all assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests at their carrying amount and to recognise the fair value of the consideration received. The profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between: (i) The aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest; and (ii) The previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any noncontrolling interests. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. The fair value of any investments retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, where applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in associate or joint venture. Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent. Investment in subsidiaries in separate financial statements An investment in subsidiary, which is eliminated on consolidation, is stated in the separate financial statements of the Company at cost. 120 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.1 Basis of consolidation (Continued) 6.1.2Business combinations Business combinations, including those under common control, are accounted for by applying the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, any excess of: (i) the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree (if any), and the fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), over (ii) the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities, is recorded as goodwill. The accounting policy for goodwill is set out in Note 6.11 to the financial statements. In instances where the latter amount exceeds the former, the excess is recognised as a gain on bargain purchase in profit or loss, after reassessment, on the acquisition date. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments to contingent consideration are dealt with as follows: (i) If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity; and (ii) Subsequent changes to contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument within the scope of FRS 139 are recognised either in profit or loss or in statements of comprehensive income in accordance with FRS 139. All other subsequent changes are recognised in profit or loss. The Group recognises any non-controlling interests in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity. In a business combination achieved in stages, previously held equity interests in the acquiree are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date and any corresponding gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date, except that: (i) Deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employees benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with FRS 112 Income Taxes and FRS 119 Employee Benefits respectively; (ii) Liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment transactions of the acquiree or the replacement by the Group of an acquiree’s share-based payment transactions are measured in accordance with FRS 2 Sharebased Payment at the acquisition date; and (iii) Assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with FRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured at fair value less costs to sell in accordance with that Standard. Acquisition-related costs are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 6. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 121 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.1 Basis of consolidation (Continued) 6.1.3Associates Associates are entities in which the Group has significant influence and that is neither subsidiaries nor interest in joint ventures. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investees but is neither control nor joint control over those policies. In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in associates are stated at cost less impairment losses, if any. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting based on the financial statements of the associates concerned, from the date significant influence commences until the date the Group ceases to have significant influence over the associates. The financial statements of the associates are prepared for the same reporting period as that of the Group, using consistent accounting policies. Where necessary, accounting policies of associates are changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The investment in associates in the consolidated statement of financial position are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the investments. The interest in associates is the carrying amount of the investments in associates under the equity method together with any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net interest in the associates. The excess of the cost of investment over the Group’s share of the net fair value of net assets of the associates’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of acquisition represents goodwill. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. The excess of the Group’s share of the fair value of the net assets of the associates’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of investment at the date of acquisition is recognised in consolidated profit or loss. The Group’s share of results of the associates during the financial year is recognised in the consolidated profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. Adjustments to the carrying amount may also be necessary for changes in the Group’s proportionate interest in the associate arising from changes in the associate’s equity that have not been recognised in the associate’s profit or loss or other comprehensive income. The Group’s share of those changes is recognised directly in equity of the Group. Distributions received from the associates reduce the carrying amount of the investments. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in the associate, the carrying amount of that interest is reduced to nil and the Group does not recognise further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on its behalf. When the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate, any retained interest in the former associate at the date when significant influence is lost is measured at fair value and this amount is regarded as the initial carrying amount of a financial asset. The difference between the fair value of any retained interest plus proceeds from the interest disposed of and the carrying amount of the investment at the date when equity method is discontinued is recognised in the profit or loss. 122 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.1 Basis of consolidation (Continued) 6.1.3Associates (Continued) When the interest of the Group in an associate decreases but does not result in a loss of significant influence, any retained interest is not remeasured. Any gain or loss arising from the decrease in interest is recognised in profit or loss. Any gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are also reclassified proportionately to the profit or loss if that gain or loss would be required to be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities. 6.1.4Joint arrangements A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. The parties are bound by a contractual arrangement which gives two or more parties joint control of the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. A joint arrangement is either a joint operation or a joint venture. (i) Joint operation A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. These parties are known as joint operators. The Group and the Company recognise in relation to its interest in a joint operation: (a) its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; (b) its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; (c) its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; (d) its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and (e) its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. When the Group transacts with a joint operation (such as a sale or contribution of assets), the Group is considered to be conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation, as such the gains and losses resulting from the transactions are recognised only to the extent of interests of other parties in the joint operation. When the Group transacts with a joint operation (such as a purchase of assets), the Group does not recognise its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 6. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 123 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.1 Basis of consolidation (Continued) 6.1.4Joint arrangements (Continued) (ii) Joint venture A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. These parties are known as joint venturers. In the separate financial statements of the Company, an investment in a joint venture is stated at cost. Any premium paid for an investment in a joint venture above the fair value of the share of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired of the Group is capitalised and included in the carrying amount of the investment in joint venture. Where there is an objective evidence that the investment in a joint venture has been impaired, the carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment in accordance with FRS 136 Impairment of Assets as a single asset, by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. The Group recognises its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for that investment using the equity method in accordance with FRS 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures based on the financial statements of the joint venture. The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as that of the Group, using consistent accounting policies. Where necessary, accounting policies of joint venture are changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The Group determines the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved, based on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement. In assessing the classification of interests in joint arrangements, the Group considers: (i) The structure of the joint arrangement; (ii) The legal form of joint arrangements structured through a separate vehicle; (iii) The contractual terms of the joint arrangement agreement; and (iv) Any other facts and circumstances. When there are changes in the facts and circumstances change, the Group reassesses whether the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved has changed. 6.1.5Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intragroup transactions and balances and the resulting unrealised gains are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses resulting from intragroup transactions are also eliminated. Unrealised profits arising on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures, which are included in the carrying amount of the related assets and liabilities are eliminated partially to the extent of the Group’s interests in the associates and joint ventures. Unrealised losses on such transactions are also eliminated partially. 124 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.2 Foreign currency 6.2.1Functional and presentation currency The separate financial statements of each entity of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is also the Company’s functional currency. 6.2.2Foreign currency translation and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the relevant functional currency at rates of exchange ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at the end of each reporting period are translated into the relevant functional currency at rates of exchange ruling at that date. All exchange differences arising from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Non-monetary items initially denominated in foreign currencies, which are carried at historical cost are translated using the historical rate as of the date of acquisition, and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value are translated using the exchange rate that existed when the values were determined for presentation currency purposes. 6.2.3Foreign operations Financial statements of foreign operations are translated at the end of the reporting period exchange rates with respect to their assets and liabilities, and at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions with respect to the statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive income. All resulting translation differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. In the consolidated financial statements, exchange differences arising from the translation of net investment in foreign operations are taken to equity. When a foreign operation is partially disposed off or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognised in profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the net investment of the Company in a foreign operation shall be recognised in profit or loss in the separate financial statements of the Company or the foreign operation, as appropriate. In the consolidated financial statements, such exchange differences shall be recognised initially as a separate component of equity and recognised in profit or loss upon disposal of the net investment. When a foreign operation is partially disposed off or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognised in profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill and fair value adjustments to the assets and liabilities arising from the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the acquired entity and translated at the exchange rate ruling at the end of each reporting period. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 6. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 125 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.3 Property, plant and equipment and depreciation All items of property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the cost would flow to the Group and the cost of the asset could be measured reliably. The carrying amount of parts that are replaced is derecognised. The cost of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item and which have different useful lives, is depreciated separately. After initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Construction-in-progress is also not depreciated until such time when the asset is available for use. Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line method so as to write off the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. The principal annual depreciation rates are as follows: Golf course development expenditure Buildings and improvements Plant and machinery Motor vehicles Furniture, fittings and equipment 2% 2% – 10% 4% – 20% 10% – 20% 5% – 33% Plantation development expenditure is capitalised under property, plant and equipment. New planting expenditure, which represents the total cost incurred from land clearing to the point of harvesting, is capitalised and is not amortised. Replanting expenditure, which represents cost incurred in replanting old planted areas, is charged to profit or loss in the financial year it is incurred. At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is assessed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. A write-down is made if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount (see Note 6.12 to the financial statements on impairment of nonfinancial assets). The residual values, useful lives 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 expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment. The estimates of the residual values, useful lives and the related depreciation charges for the property, plant and equipment are determined based on commercial and production factors. The Group anticipates that the residual values of its property, plant and equipment will be insignificant. The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on 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 carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is remeasured to fair value and reclassified as investment property. Any gain arising on remeasurement, net of deferred tax is recognised directly in equity. Any loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 126 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.4 Borrowing costs General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is capitalised as part of the cost of the asset until when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are complete, after which such expense is charged to profit or loss. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended during the extended periods in which active development is interrupted. The amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is the actual borrowing costs incurred on the borrowing during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment of the borrowing. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 6.5 Leases 6.5.1Finance lease A lease is recognised as a finance lease if it transfers substantially to the Group all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Assets acquired under finance leases are recognised initially at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. Any initial direct costs incurred by the Group are added to the amount recognised as an asset. The assets are capitalised as property, plant and equipment and the corresponding obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings. The property, plant and equipment capitalised are depreciated on the same basis as owned assets as disclosed in Note 6.3 to the financial statements. The minimum lease payments are allocated between finance charges and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charges are recognised in profit or loss over the period of the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining finance lease obligations. 6.5.2Operating lease • The Group as lessee Leases of assets under which all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straightline basis over the period of the lease. • The Group as lessor When assets are leased out under an operating lease, the asset is included in the statement of financial position based on the nature of the asset. Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 6. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 127 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.5 Leases (Continued) 6.5.3Lease of land and building Leases of land and buildings are classified as operating or finance leases in the same way as leases of other assets. The land and buildings elements of a lease are considered separately for the purpose of lease classification. All leases that do not transfer substantially all the risks and the rewards are classified as operating leases other than the following: • property held under operating leases that would otherwise meet the definition of an investment property is classified as an investment property on a property-by-property basis and, if classified as investment property, is accounted for as if it is held under a finance lease; and • land held for own use under an operating lease, the fair value of which cannot be measured separately from the fair value of a building situated thereon at the inception of the lease, is accounted for as being held under a finance lease, unless the building is also clearly held under an operating lease. The minimum lease payments including lump-sum upfront payments made to acquire the interest in the land and building are allocated between land and building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and the buildings element at the inception of the lease. The lump-sum upfront lease payments made represent prepaid lease payments and are amortised over the lease term on a straight-line basis, except for leasehold land that is classified as an investment property or an asset held under property development. For leases of land and buildings in which the amount that would initially be recognised for the land element is immaterial, the land and buildings are treated as a single unit for the purpose of lease classification and is accordingly classified as a finance or operating lease. In such a case, the economic life of the building is regarded as the economic life of the entire leased asset. 6.6 Property development activities 6.6.1Land held for property development Land held for property development consists of land where no significant development activities have been carried out or where development activities are not expected to be completed within the normal operating cycle. Such land is classified as non-current assets and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost associated with the acquisition of land includes the purchase price of the land, professional fees, stamp duties, commissions, conversion fees and other relevant levies. Land held for property development is reclassified as property development costs at the point when development activities have commenced and where it can be demonstrated that the development activities can be completed within the normal operating cycle. 128 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.6 Property development activities (Continued) 6.6.2Property development costs Property development costs comprise costs associated with the acquisition of land and all costs that are directly attributable to the development activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities. They comprise the cost of land under development, construction costs and other related development costs common to the whole project including professional fees, stamp duties, commissions, conversion fees, and other relevant levies. Property development costs not recognised as an expense are recognised as an asset and are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The excess of revenue recognised in profit or loss exceeds progress billings to purchasers, the balance is classified as accrued billings under trade and other receivables. When progress billings to purchasers exceed revenue recognised in profit or loss, the balance is classified as progress billings under trade and other payables. 6.7 Investment properties Investment properties are properties, which are held either to earn rental yields or for capital appreciation or for both and are not substantially occupied by the Group. Investment properties also include properties that are being constructed or developed for future use as investment properties. Investment properties are initially measured at cost, which includes related transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value. Fair value is arrived at by reference to active market prices for similar properties and is performed by registered independent valuers having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of the properties being valued. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are recognised in profit or loss in the financial year in which they arise. If the Group determines that the fair value of an investment property under construction is not reliably determinable but expect the fair value of the property to be reliably determinable when construction is complete, the Group shall measure that investment property under construction at cost until either its fair value becomes reliably determinable or construction is completed (whichever is earlier). Once the Group is able to measure reliably the fair value of an investment property under construction that has previously been measured at cost, the Group shall measure that property at its fair value. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. A property interest under an operating lease is classified and accounted for as an investment property on a property-byproperty basis when the Group holds it to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Any such property interest under an operating lease classified as an investment property is carried at fair value. Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The gain or loss arising from the retirement or disposal of an investment property is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss in the period of the retirement or disposal. When the use of a property changes from investment property to owner-occupied, the property is remeasured to fair value and reclassified as property, plant and equipment. Any gain or loss arising on remeasurement is recognised directly in profit or loss. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 6. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 129 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.8 Construction contracts Contract cost comprises cost related directly to the specific contract and those that are attributable to the contract activity in general and can be allocated to the contract and such other costs that are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract. Contract cost includes direct materials, expenses, labour and an appropriate proportion of construction overheads. The aggregate costs incurred and profit or loss recognised on each contract is compared against the progress billings up to the financial year end. Where the total costs incurred on construction contracts plus recognised profits (less recognised losses) exceed progress billings, the balance is classified as amounts due from contracts customers. Where progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognised profits (less recognised losses), the balance is classified as amounts due to contracts customers. 6.9 Inventories Inventories of completed development properties are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a specific identification basis and includes land, all direct building costs and other related development costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Other inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. Cost comprises the original cost of purchase plus the cost of bringing the inventories to their intended location and condition. The cost of produce and finished goods includes the cost of raw materials, direct labour and a proportion of production overheads. 6.10 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank balances, deposits and other short term highly liquid investments and short term funds with maturities of three (3) months or less, which are readily convertible to cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. 6.11 Goodwill Goodwill arises from business combination and represents the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the entity, over the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities, as described in Note 6.1.2. After initial recognition, goodwill is carried net of accumulated impairment losses, if any. Goodwill is not amortised but instead tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Objective events that would trigger a more frequent impairment review include adverse industry or economic trends, significant restructuring actions, significantly lowered profitability, or a sustained decline in the acquiree’s market capitalisation. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill arising on acquisition of an associate, as described in Note 6.1.3, is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. 130 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.12 Impairment of non-financial assets The carrying amount of assets, other than inventories, deferred tax assets, assets arising from construction contracts, investment properties measured at fair value, property development costs and financial assets (excluding investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures) are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For the purpose of impairment testing of these assets, recoverable amount is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined for the Cash-generating Unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Goodwill acquired in a business combination shall be tested for impairment as part of the impairment testing of the CGU to which it relates. The CGU to which goodwill is allocated shall represent the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and not larger than an operating segment determined in accordance with FRS 8 Operating Segments. Recoverable amount is the higher of net selling price and value-in-use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flows. In estimating the value-in-use, the estimated future cash inflows and outflows to be derived from continuing use of the asset and from its ultimate disposal 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 for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is charged to profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it will be charged to equity. Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is recognised in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. 6.13 Financial instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one enterprise and a financial liability or equity instrument of another enterprise. A financial asset is any asset that is cash, an equity instrument of another enterprise, a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another enterprise, or a contractual right to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially favourable to the Group. A financial liability is any liability that is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another enterprise, or a contractual obligation to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Group. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 6. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 131 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.13 Financial instruments (Continued) Financial instruments are classified as assets, liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. At initial recognition, a financial instrument is recognised at fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial instrument. Interest, dividends and losses and gains relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability shall be recognised as income or expense in profit or loss. Distributions to holders of an equity instrument are debited directly to equity, net of any related tax effect. Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if, and only if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative is not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative meets the definition of a derivative, and the hybrid instrument is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. 6.13.1 Financial assets A financial asset is classified into the following four (4) categories after initial recognition for the purpose of subsequent measurement: (i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise financial assets that are held for trading (i.e. financial assets acquired principally for the purpose of resale in the near term), derivatives (both, freestanding and embedded) and financial assets that were specifically designated into this classification upon initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or losses on financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss exclude foreign exchange gains and losses, interest and dividend income. Such income is recognised separately in profit or loss as components of other income or other operating losses. However, derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of unquoted equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market are recognised at cost. Financial assets classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss including short term investment and short term funds. (ii) Held-to-maturity investments Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity comprise non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets classified as held-to-maturity are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses on financial assets classified as held-to-maturity are recognised in profit or loss when the financial assets are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. 132 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 6.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets classified as loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses on financial assets classified as loans and receivables are recognised in profit or loss when the financial assets are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. (iv) Available-for-sale financial assets Financial assets classified as available-for-sale comprise non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets classified as available-for-sale are recognised directly in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, until the financial asset is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are recognised in profit or loss. However, interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss whilst dividends on availablefor-sale equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive payment is established. A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the financial asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in other comprehensive income shall be recognised in profit or loss. A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or marketplace convention. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using trade date accounting. 6.13.2 Financial liabilities Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. A financial liability is classified into the following two (2) categories after initial recognition for the purpose of subsequent measurement: IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 6. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 133 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.13 Financial instruments (Continued) 6.13.2 Financial liabilities (Continued) (i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss comprise financial liabilities that are held for trading, derivatives (both, freestanding and embedded) and financial liabilities that were specifically designated into this classification upon initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or losses on financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss exclude foreign exchange gains and losses, interest and dividend income. Such income is recognised separately in profit or loss as components of other income or other operating losses. (ii) Other financial liabilities Financial liabilities classified as other financial liabilities comprise non-derivative financial liabilities that are neither held for trading nor initially designated as fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses on other financial liabilities are recognised in profit or loss when the financial liabilities are derecognised and through the amortisation process. A financial liability is derecognised when, and only when, it is extinguished, i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. An exchange between an existing borrower and lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Any difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. All financial liabilities of the Group are measured at amortised cost except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, which are held for trading (including derivatives) or designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. The Group designates corporate guarantees given to banks for credit facilities granted to subsidiaries as insurance contracts as defined in FRS 4 Insurance Contracts. The Group recognises these insurance contracts as recognised insurance liabilities when there is a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. At the end of each reporting period, the Group shall assess whether its recognised insurance liabilities are adequate, using current estimates of future cash flows under its insurance contracts. If this assessment shows that the carrying amount of the insurance liabilities is inadequate, the entire deficiency shall be recognised in profit or loss. Recognised insurance liabilities are only removed from the statement of financial position when, and only when, it is extinguished via a discharge, cancellation or expiration. 134 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.13 Financial instruments (Continued) 6.13.3 Equity instruments 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 classified as equity instruments. Ordinary 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. Interim dividends to shareholders are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared. Final dividends are recognised upon approval of shareholders in a general meeting. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of tax. Equity transaction costs comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction, which would otherwise have been avoided. The Group measures a liability to distribute non-cash assets as a dividend to the owners of the Company at fair value of the assets to be distributed. The carrying amount of the dividend is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and at the settlement date, with any changes recognised directly in equity as adjustments to the amount of the distribution. On settlement of the transaction, the Group recognises the difference, if any, between the carrying amounts of the assets distributed and the carrying amount of the liability in profit or loss. When issued shares of the Company are repurchased, the consideration paid, including any attributable transaction costs, is presented as a change in equity. Repurchased shares that have not been cancelled are classified as treasury shares and presented as a deduction from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the sale, reissuance or cancellation of treasury shares. When treasury shares are reissued by resale, the difference between the sales consideration and the carrying amount of the treasury shares is shown as a movement in equity. 6.13.4 Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognised in profit or loss. However, derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of unquoted equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market are recognised at cost. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 6. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 135 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.14 Impairment of financial assets The Group assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired at the end of each reporting period. (i) Held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables The Group collectively considers factors such as the probability of bankruptcy or significant financial difficulties of the receivable, and default or significant delay in payments by the receivables, to determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables has occurred. Other objective evidence of impairment include historical collection rates determined on an individual basis and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that are directly correlated with the historical default rates of receivables. If any such objective evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the financial asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. The carrying amount of held-to-maturity investments is directly reduced by the impairment loss whilst the carrying amount of loans and receivables are reduced through the use of an allowance account. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and it objectively relates to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of impairment reversed is recognised in profit or loss. (ii) Available-for-sale financial assets The Group collectively considers factors such as significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, significant financial difficulties of the issuer or obligor, and the disappearance of an active trading market as objective evidence that available-for-sale financial assets are impaired. If any such objective evidence exists, an amount comprising the difference between the financial asset’s cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to profit or loss. Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss in the subsequent periods. Instead, any increase in the fair value subsequent to the impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. Impairment losses on available-for-sale debt investments are subsequently reversed in profit or loss if the increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss in profit or loss. 136 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.15 Provisions Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event and when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits would be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision would be discounted to its present value at a pretax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits would be required to settle the obligation, the provision would be reversed. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. If the Group has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation under the contract shall be recognised and measured as a provision. 6.16 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence would be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The Group does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements. A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events whose existence would be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group. The Group does not recognise contingent assets but discloses its existence where the inflows of economic benefits are probable, but not virtually certain. In the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group under business combinations, contingent liabilities assumed are measured initially at their fair value at the acquisition date. 6.17 Government grants Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Under the capital approach, government grants relating to investment properties are initially included in liabilities as deferred government grants, and are credited to investment properties when the costs for which the benefit of the grant is intended to compensate are incurred. 6.18 Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and rebates. Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction would flow to the Group and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 6. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 137 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.18 Revenue recognition (Continued) 6.18.1 Property development Revenue from property development is recognised based on the “percentage of completion” method in respect of all units that have been sold. The percentage of completion is determined based on the proportion of property development costs incurred for work performed up to the reporting period over the estimated total property development costs. When the financial outcome of a development activity cannot be reliably estimated, the property development revenue shall be recognised only to the extent of property development costs incurred that is probable to be recoverable and property development costs on the development units sold are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Any expected loss on a development project, including costs to be incurred over the defects liability period, is recognised as an expense in profit or loss immediately. 6.18.2 Construction contracts Revenue from work done on construction contracts is recognised based on the “percentage of completion” method. The percentage of completion is determined based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed up to the reporting period over the estimated total contract costs. When the financial outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue shall be recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that is probable to be recoverable and contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the foreseeable loss is recognised as an expense immediately. 6.18.3 Dividend income Dividend income is recognised when shareholder’s right to receive payment is established. 6.18.4 Rental income Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. When the Group provides incentives to its tenants, the cost of incentives is recognised over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, as a reduction of rental income. 6.18.5 Interest income Interest income is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues. 6.18.6 Club membership license fees Club membership license fees, which are not refundable, are recognised as income when received. 6.18.7 Management fees Management fees are recognised when services are rendered. 138 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.18 Revenue recognition (Continued) 6.18.8 Hotel revenue Revenue is recognised upon delivery of products and customer acceptance, if any, or performance of services, net of sales taxes and discounts. 6.18.9 Sales of plantation produce Revenue from the sale of plantation produce is recognised upon delivery of products and customer acceptance. 6.18.10 Sales of goods, services and rights of enjoyment Revenue from sale of goods is recognised based on invoice value of goods sold and revenue from services is recognised net of discounts as and when services are performed. Entrance fees collected for rights of enjoyment of facilities are recognised when tickets are sold. 6.19 Employee benefits 6.19.1 Short-term employee benefits Wages, salaries, other monetary and non-monetary benefits are measured on an undiscounted basic and are accrued 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 as an expense when employees render services that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short-term nonaccumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when absences occur and they lapse if the current period’s entitlement is not used in full and do not entitle employees to a cash payment for unused entitlement on leaving the Group. Bonuses are recognised as an expense when there is a present, legal or constructive obligation to make such payments, as a result of past events and when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 6.19.2 Defined contribution plans A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity (a fund) and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The Company and its subsidiaries incorporated in Malaysia make contributions to a statutory provident fund and its foreign subsidiaries make contributions to their respective countries’ statutory pension schemes. Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the employees render their services. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment obligations. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 6. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 139 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.19 Employee benefits (Continued) 6.19.3 Defined benefit plans The Group operates various defined benefit plans for eligible employees of the Group. The amount recognised as a liability in respect of the defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligations at the end of the reporting period less fair value of plan assets. The Group determines the present value of the defined benefit obligations and the fair value of the plan assets with sufficient regularity such that the amounts recognised in the financial statements do not differ materially from the amounts that would be determined at the end of the reporting period. The present value of the defined benefit obligations and the related current service cost and past service cost are determined using the projected unit credit method by an actuary. The rate used to discount the obligations is based on market yields at the reporting period for high quality corporate bonds or government bonds. Remeasurement of the net defined obligation which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, and the return on plan assets are recognised directly within equity in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. In measuring its defined benefit liability, the Group recognises past service cost as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits are already vested immediately following the introduction of, or changes to, the defined benefit plan, the Group recognises past service cost immediately in profit or loss. Net interest is recognised in profit or loss, and is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the balance of the net defined benefit obligation, considering the effects of contributions and benefit payment during the reporting period. Gains or losses arising from changes to scheme benefits or scheme curtailment are recognised immediately in profit or loss. If the Group has an unconditional right to a refund during the life of the plan, it would recognise an asset measured as the amount of the surplus at the reporting date that it has a right to receive a refund which would be the fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefits obligation, less any associated costs, such as taxes. If the amount of a refund is determined as the full amount or a proportion of the surplus, rather than a fixed amount, the Group would make no adjustment for the time value of money, even if the refund is realisable only at a future date. If there is no minimum funding requirement for contributions relating to future service, the economic benefit available as a reduction in future contributions is the present value of future service cost to the entity for each period over the shorter of the expected life of the plan and the expected life of the entity. The Group would assume that there would be no change to the benefits provided by a plan in the future until the plan is amended and a stable workforce unless it is demonstrably committed at the reporting dates to make a reduction in the number of employees covered by the plan. 140 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.19 Employee benefits (Continued) 6.19.4 Equity compensation benefits The Group operates equity-settled share-based compensation plans under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Group, allowing certain employees of the Group to acquire ordinary shares of the Company at pre-determined prices. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The expense relating to share options is recognised within staff costs in profit or loss over the vesting periods of the grants with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be recognised as expense is determined by reference to the fair value of the share options at the date of the grant and the number of share options to be vested by the vesting date. The fair value of the share options is computed using a binomial options pricing model, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options and grants that are expected to vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable on vesting date. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, and a corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period. The equity amount is recognised in capital reserve until the option is exercised, upon which it will be transferred to share premium, or until the option expires, upon which it will be transferred directly to retained earnings. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to equity when the options are exercised. If the modification occurs during the vesting period, the incremental fair value granted is included in the measurement of the amount recognised for services received over the period from the modification date until the date when the modified equity instruments vest, in addition to the amount based on the grant date fair value of the original equity instruments, which is recognised over the remainder of the original vesting period. If the modification occurs after vesting date, the incremental fair value granted is recognised immediately. If the Group modifies the terms and conditions of the equity instruments granted in a manner that reduces the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is not otherwise beneficial to the employees, the Group continues to account for the revised services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted as if that modification had not occurred. 6.20 Income taxes Income taxes include all domestic and foreign taxes on taxable profit. Income taxes also include other taxes, such as withholding taxes, which are payable by foreign subsidiaries, associates, or joint ventures on distributions to the Group and the Company, and real property gains taxes payable on disposal of properties, if any. Taxation in profit or loss comprises current and deferred tax. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 6. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 141 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.20 Income taxes (Continued) 6.20.1 Current tax Current tax expenses are determined according to the tax laws of each jurisdiction in which the Group operates and include all taxes based upon the taxable profits (including withholding taxes payable by foreign subsidiaries on distribution of retained earnings to companies in the Group), and real property gains taxes payable on disposal of properties. 6.20.2 Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised in full using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position and its tax base. Deferred tax is recognised for all temporary differences, unless the deferred tax arises from goodwill or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period. If it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that 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 profits will be available, such reductions will be reversed to the extent of the taxable profits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxation authority on either: (i) the same taxable entity; or (ii) different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered. Deferred tax would be recognised as income or expense and included in profit or loss for the period unless the tax relates to items that are credited or charged, in the same or a different period, directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax will be charged or credited directly to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the announcement of tax rates and tax laws by the Government in the annual budgets which have the substantive effect of actual enactment by the end of the reporting period. 6.21 Earnings per share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing profit or loss for the financial year attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. Diluted EPS for the financial year is determined by adjusting profit or loss attributable to owners of the parent and weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares. 142 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.22 Operating segments Operating segments are defined as components of the Group that: (i) engage in business activities from which it could earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenue and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group); (ii) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker (i.e. the Group’s Chief Executive Officer) in making decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assessing its performance; and (iii) for which discrete financial information is available. An operating segment may engage in business activities for which it has yet to earn revenue. The Group reports information separately about each operating segment that meets any of the following quantitative thresholds: (i) The reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers, is ten percent (10%) or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments. (ii) The absolute amount of reported profit or loss is ten percent (10%) or more, in absolute terms of the greater of: (iii) (a) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss; and (b) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss. The assets are ten percent (10%) or more of the combined assets of all operating segments. Operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds may be considered reportable, and separately disclosed, if the management believes that information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements. Total external revenue reported by operating segments shall constitute at least seventy five percent (75%) of the Group’s revenue. Operating segments identified as reportable segments in the current financial year in accordance with the quantitative thresholds would result in a restatement of prior year’s segment data for comparative purposes. 6.23 Fair value measurements The fair value of an asset or a liability, (except for lease transactions) is determined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD 6. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 143 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 6.23 Fair value measurements (Continued) The Group measures the fair value of an asset or a liability by taking into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take these characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability. The Group has considered the following characteristics when determining fair value: (a) The condition and location of the asset; and (b) Restrictions, if any, on the sale or use of the assets. The fair value measurement for a non-financial asset takes into account the ability of the market participant to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The fair value of a financial or non-financial liability or an entity’s own equity instrument assumes that: 7. (a) A liability would remain outstanding and the market participant transferee would be required to fulfil the obligation. The liability would not be settled with the counterparty or otherwise extinguished on the measurement date; and (b) An entity’s own equity instrument would remain outstanding and the market participant transferee would take on the rights and responsibilities associated with the instrument. The instrument would not be cancelled or otherwise extinguished on the measurement date.

Subject to agreement with the tax authorities, certain subsidiaries of the Group have unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowance of approximately RM5,924,000 (2014: RM9,249,000), for which the related tax effects have not been recognised in the financial statements. These losses are available to be carried forward for set off against future chargeable income when these subsidiaries derive future assessable income of a nature and amount sufficient for the tax losses to be utilised. Malaysian income tax is calculated at the statutory tax rate of 25% (2014: 25%) of the estimated assessable profit for the year. Taxation for other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the respective jurisdictions. Deferred tax is calculated on temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. 148 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 13.

The fair values of the above investment properties were estimated based on valuations by independent registered valuers, which were based on: (i) market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties for certain properties in which the values are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as property size and quality of interior fittings under the comparison method (market approach). The most significant input into this valuation method is price per square foot (“PSF”). (ii) receipts of contractual rentals, expected future market rentals, current market yields, void periods and maintenance requirements and approximate capitalisation rates under the investment method (income approach). (iii) estimated gross development values using investment method or comparison method, less estimated costs to complete under the residual method (income approach with estimated costs to complete). IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 155 18. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES (Continued) The Group uses assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. The valuation updates by independent registered valuers are endorsed by the Board of Directors on an annual basis. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques using Level 3 inputs (defined as unobservable inputs for asset or liability) in the fair value hierarchy of FRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. Changes in fair value are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are reviewed. The Level 3 inputs or unobservable inputs include: Term yield – the expected rental that the investment properties are expected to achieve and are derived from the current passing rental, including revision upon renewal of tenancies during the financial year; Reversion yield – the expected rental that the investment properties are expected to achieve upon expiry of term rental; Allowance for void – refers to allowance provided for vacancy periods; Price per square foot – estimated price per square foot (“psf”) for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller. There are inter-relationships between unobservable inputs. For investment property under construction, increases in construction costs that enhance the property’s features may result in an increase in future rental or sale values. An increase in the future rental income may be linked with higher costs. If the remaining lease term increases, the yield may decrease. In the previous financial year, due to the adoption of FRS 13 Fair Value Measurement which requires the valuation premises of a non-financial asset to reflect its highest and best use, the basis of valuation of an existing investment property was changed from investment approach to comparison approach which resulted in an increase of fair value of RM30,400,000. The highest and best use of this investment property is for purpose of redevelopment into retail or residential building, and the property is currently being used as a wet market pending further planning of future development of the property by the Group. For all other investment properties, their current use equates to the highest and best use. The fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs as at 30 June 2015 are as follows: Significant unobservable inputs Term Reversion Allowance Valuation technique Fair value yield yield for void RM’000 % % % Malls Office towers Retail Income approach Market approach Income approach Market approach Market approach 1,754,342 255,940 909,100 171,799 296,971 Total 3,388,152 6.5 – 7.0 – 6.0 – 6.5 – – 7.0 – 7.5 – 6.5 – – Price per sq foot (“psf”) RM/psf 5.0 – – 1,638 5.0 – – 370 – 1,700 – 14 – 150 Changes to the reversion yield and price per square foot by 10 basis point and 10% respectively, as applicable, will result in a net change in fair value of approximately RM116,048,000. 156 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 18.

GOODWILL ON CONSOLIDATION (Continued) Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis by comparing the carrying amount with the recoverable amount of the CGUs based on value-in-use. Value-in-use is determined by discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of the CGUs based on the following assumptions: (i) Cash flows are projected based on the management’s most recent three (3) years business plan. (ii) Discount rates used for cash flows discounting purpose is the Group’s weighted average cost of capital. The average discount rate applied for cash flow projections is 8.2% (2014: 10.0%). (iii) Growth rates of property and other segments are determined based on the industry trends and past performances of the segments. (iv) Profit margins are projected based on the industry trends, historical profit margin achieved or predetermined profit margin for property projects. The management is not aware of any reasonably possible change in the above key assumptions that would cause the carrying amounts of the CGUs to materially exceed their recoverable amounts. 20.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that entities of the Group are able to continue as going concerns while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity mix. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. Capital of the Group comprises equity, borrowings and other long term liabilities. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the financial years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014. The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by equity attributable to owners of the parent. The Group’s net debt includes borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. The Group is subject to certain externally imposed requirements in the form of loan covenants. The Group monitors gearing ratios and compliance with loan covenants based on the terms of the respective loan agreements, such as debts to equity ratio less than one (1) time and interest coverage ratio at least two-and-half (2.5) times. The Group has complied with loan covenants during the financial year.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial risk management objectives and policies The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, price fluctuation risk, credit risk, liquidity and cash flow risk. The Group’s overall financial risk management objective is to ensure that the Group creates value for its shareholders whilst minimising potential adverse effects on its financial performance and position. The Group operates within an established Enterprise Risk Management framework with clearly defined policies and guidelines which are administered via Divisional Risk Management Committees. Divisional Risk Management Committees report regularly to the Audit Committee which oversees the management of risk in the Group on behalf of the Board of Directors. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 191 39. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 39.1 Foreign currency risk The Group operates internationally and is exposed to various currencies, mainly Singapore Dollar (“SGD”), US Dollar (“USD”) and Renminbi (“RMB”). Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities together with expected cash flows from committed purchases and sales give rise to foreign currency exposures. The Group’s foreign currency risk management objective is to minimise foreign currency exposure that gives rise to economic impact, both at transaction and reporting period translation levels. 39.1.1 Risk management approach The Group maintains a natural hedge, whenever possible, by borrowing in the currency of the country, in which the property or investment is located or by borrowing in currencies that match the future revenue stream to be generated from its investments. Foreign currency exposures in transactional currencies other than functional currencies of the operating entities are kept to an acceptable level. 39.1.2 Foreign currency risk exposure The Group and the Company are not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk as the financial assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in the functional currencies of the respective entities within the Group. 39.2 Interest rate risk The Group’s interest rate risk arises from its interest-bearing financial instruments that could impact fair value and future cash flows due to fluctuation in market interest rates. The Group’s objective on interest rate risk management is to achieve a balance in repricing risks and the optimisation of its cost of funds whilst ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet funding needs. 39.2.1 Risk management approach The Group actively reviews its debt portfolio, taking into account the nature and requirements of its businesses as well as the current business and economic environment. This strategy allows it to achieve an optimum cost of capital whilst locking in long-term funding rates for long-term investments. Funds held for liquidity purposes and temporary surpluses are placed in short term interest-bearing financial instruments. 192 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 39. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 39.2 Interest rate risk (Continued) 39.2.2 Interest rate risk exposure The Group’s interest bearing assets are primarily cash held in Housing Development Accounts and short term fund. The Group considers the risk of significant changes to interest rates on those deposits and short term funds to be unlikely. The following tables set out the carrying amounts, the weighted average effective interest rates and repricing periods as at the end of the reporting period of the Group’s and Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk: Repricing brackets Total Weighted average effective Less than 1 – 2 2 – 3 3 – 4 More than interest rate In RM’000 Note 1 year years years years 4 years Total % Group 2015 Interest-bearing financial liabilities Floating rate instruments Borrowings Amounts due to non-controlling interests 33 560,360 – – – – 560,360 1.25 34 – 104,896 – – – 104,896 1.63 560,360 104,896 – – – 665,256 33 750,000 513,880 – – – 1,263,880 2.92 34 – 95,305 – – – 95,305 1.51 750,000 609,185 – – – 1,359,185 Total interest-bearing liabilities 2014 Interest-bearing financial liabilities Floating rate instruments Borrowings Amounts due to non-controlling interests Total interest-bearing liabilities IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 193 39.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 39.2 Interest rate risk (Continued) 39.2.3 Sensitivity analysis Sensitivity analysis on interest rate is applied on floating rate financial instruments only, as the carrying amount of fixed rate financial instruments are measured at amortised cost. A 50 basis points movement in interest rates would have increased or decreased the profit or loss of the Group and of the Company by approximately RM3,326,000 (2014: RM6,796,000) and RM2,277,000 (2014: RM2,463,000). 39.3 Credit risk The Group’s credit risk exposure is mainly related to external counter-party credit risk on monetary financial assets and trade credits. Credit risk is managed at the business unit level, but macro Group-wide policies on the granting of credit and credit control are issued and monitored centrally, such as those relating to credit risk concentration, adequacy of formal credit rating and evaluation of counter parties, credit impairment and unit level credit control performance. Credit risk from monetary financial assets is generally low as the counter-parties involved are strongly rated financial institutions. The Group does not extend any loans or financial guarantees to third parties except for its own subsidiaries and joint ventures. The Group’s objective on credit risk management is to avoid significant exposure to any individual customer or counter party and to minimise concentration of credit risk. 39.3.1 Risk management approach Credit risk or financial loss from the failure of customers or counter parties to discharge their financial and contractual obligations from trade credits is managed through the application of credit approvals, credit limits, insurance programmes and monitoring procedures on an on-going basis. If necessary, the Group may obtain collateral from counter parties as a mean of mitigating losses in the event of default. The Group’s credit risk varies with the different classes of counter-parties as outlined below: (i) Property Generally, property units sold are progressively invoiced and settled by end-buyers’ financiers posing minimal credit risk. Property investment entails the hospitality sub-segment for which sales are generally cash settled; and the rental property sub-segment which poses a certain degree of collection risk in correlation with the macroeconomic environment. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 195 39. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 39.3 Credit risk (Continued) 39.3.1 Risk management approach (Continued) (i) Property (Continued) Policies and procedures (a) Tail-end progress billings on property units sold that serve as retention sum are closely monitored and claimed upon expiry of retention period; (b) Credit granted for corporate clients in the hospitality sub-segment are duly assessed and selectively approved with established limits; (c) All tenants of its investment properties are subjected to deposits requirement averaging three (3) months rental; and (d) Credit exposure is monitored on limits and aging, managed and reviewed periodically. Debtors with emerging credit problems are identified early and remedial actions are taken promptly to minimise further exposure and to restore past due status. Collateral and credit enhancement In general, a combination of: (ii) (a) Title retention and conveyance on clearance for property development; (b) Cash deposits/advance for hospitality sub-segment; and (c) Deposits for rental sub-segment. Financial institutions and exchanges The Group places its working capital and surplus funds in current account, money market, and time-deposits with banks; and in security papers and investment trusts managed by licensed institutions. Beyond the minimal deposit guarantee offered by certain sovereign nation’s deposit insurance schemes, the Group is exposed to a degree of counter-parties’ credit risk in times of severe economic or financial crisis. Policies and procedures (a) Funds are placed only with licensed financial institutions with credit rating of “A- and above”; and (b) Funds placements are centrally monitored, and where applicable are spread out based on location need. Collateral and credit enhancement In general, a combination of: (a) National deposit insurance; and (b) Fidelity guarantee. In general, all business units in the Group have a comprehensive policy that governs the need for formal credit rating system and evaluation on counter parties prior to any contractual arrangement that would result in credit risk exposure. Besides exposure amount, credit risk is also measured and monitored by way of credit quality segregation, past due aging analysis, and limits breach alerts. Reviews on credit impairment needs are made quarterly based on objective evidence of loss events. 196 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 39. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 39.3 Credit risk (Continued) 39.3.2 Credit risk exposures and concentration Exposure to credit risk – property development The Group does not have any significant credit risk from its property development activities as sale of development units are made to large number of property purchasers with end-financing facilities from reputable end-financiers, and the ownership and rights to the properties revert to the Group in the event of default. Exposure to credit risk – property investment Credit risk arising from the Group’s property investment sub-segment is limited as all tenants of its investment properties are subjected to deposits requirement averaging three (3) months rental. Exposure to credit risk – monetary financial assets Credit risk from monetary financial assets (short term funds, deposits with financial institutions and cash and bank balances) is generally low as the counter-parties involved are reputable financial institutions. At the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure of the Group and of the Company to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each class of financial assets recognised on the statement of financial position. Credit risk concentration profile Concentrations of credit risk with respect of trade and other receivables are limited due to the Group’s large number of customers, who are dispersed over a broad spectrum of industries and businesses. The credit risk concentration of the Group is mainly in the “receivables” class, except for deposits and prepayments, and this is further analysed below to reveal the credit risk concentration by geographic location and business segment.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 39.3 Credit risk (Continued) 39.3.2 Credit risk exposures and concentration (Continued) The Company does not have any significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty nor does it have any major concentration of credit risk except for amounts due from subsidiaries. The credit risks with respect of amounts due from subsidiaries are assessed to be low. Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired The credit quality of trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are substantially amounts due from property purchasers with good collection track record with the Group. All short term funds, deposits with financial institutions, cash and bank balances are placed with or entered into with reputable financial institutions. Financial assets that are past due but not impaired As at 30 June 2015, trade and other receivables of the Group of RM55,663,000 (2014: RM26,247,000) were past due but not impaired. Receivables of the Group that are past due but not impaired are mainly related to the progress billings to be settled by end-buyers’ financiers. It is the Group’s policy to monitor the financial standing of these receivables on an ongoing basis to ensure that the Group is exposed to minimal credit risk. The ageing analysis of these receivables is as follows: In RM’000 Up to 3 months More than 3 months Group 2015 2014 39,616 16,047 24,252 1,995 55,663 26,247 39.4 Liquidity and cash flow risk Liquidity and cash flow risk arise when financial resources are insufficient to meet financial obligations as and when they fall due, or have to be met at excessive cost. The Group’s liquidity risk also includes non-financial instruments. The Group’s liquidity risk management objective is to ensure that all foreseeable funding commitments can be met as and when due in a cost-effective manner. The Group leverages on IOI Properties Group Berhad (“IOIPG”) as the public listed parent company whereby treasury related activities are centralised and where the optimal weighted average costs of funds is managed. The Company, as a parent company plays a central liquidity management role where the Group’s longer term funding requirements are managed based on business and liquidity needs, whilst the day-to-day operational liquidity needs are decentralised at the business unit level. The Group practises an arm’s-length market based policy with regard to funding costs. 198 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d) 39. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 39.4 Liquidity and cash flow risk (Continued) 39.4.1 Risk management approach The Group actively manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure all operating, investing and financing needs are met. To mitigate liquidity risk, management measures and forecasts its cash commitments, monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations and investment activities. In addition, the Group strives to maintain available banking facilities at a reasonable level against its overall debt position. The Group manages its liquidity risk with a combination of the following methods: (i) Maintain a balanced contractual maturity profile of financial assets to meet financial liabilities (particularly on near and immediate term maturity); (ii) Maintain a diversified range of funding sources with adequate back-up facilities; (iii) Maintain debt financing and servicing plan; and (iv) Maintain medium to long-term cash flow planning incorporating funding positions and requirements of all its subsidiaries. As a Group policy, all business units conform to the following processes in ensuring its liquidity profiles are balanced and that all its obligations can be met when due: (i) Perform annual cash flow budgeting and medium term cash flow planning, in which the timing of operational cash flows and its resulting surplus or deficit are reasonably determined. The aggregation of these allows for an overview of the Group’s forecast cash-flow and liquidity position, which in turn facilitates further consolidated cash flow planning; (ii) Manage contingent liquidity commitment and exposures; (iii) Monitor liquidity ratios against internal thresholds; (iv) Manage working capital for efficient use of funds and optimise cash conversion cycle; and (v) Manage concentration and maturity profile of both financial and non-financial liabilities.

(ii) Fixed rate borrowings The fair value of these financial instruments are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows at market incremental lending rate for similar types of borrowing at the end of each reporting period. IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 201 39. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 39.5 Fair values (Continued) (b) Fair value hierarchy Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the end of the reporting period. Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The general mandate, if approved, will provide flexibility to the Company for any possible fund raising activities, including but not limited to placing of shares for the purpose of funding future investment project(s) and acquisition(s) and for strategic reasons. In order to eliminate any delay and costs in convening a general meeting to specifically approve such issuance of shares, it is considered appropriate that the Directors be empowered, as proposed under the Ordinary Resolution 6, to allot and issue shares in the Company up to an amount not exceeding in total ten percent (10%) of the issued share capital of the Company for the time being. This authority, unless revoked or varied at a general meeting, will expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company. The Company did not issue any new shares pursuant to Section 132D of the Companies Act, 1965 under the general mandate which was approved at the 2nd AGM of the Company. The Directors currently have no intention of issuing new shares, or of granting rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares, except in connection with the Company’s employees’ share option scheme. ii Proposed Renewal of Existing Share Buy-Back Authority Ordinary Resolution 7 is to seek a renewal of the authority granted at the 2nd AGM of the Company held on 27 October 2014 and which will lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM to be held on 26 October 2015. The resolution authorises the Company to make market purchases of its own ordinary shares as permitted by the Companies Act 1965. The Board seeks authority to purchase up to 10% of the Company’s issued ordinary shares (excluding any treasury shares), should market conditions and price justify such action. The Directors only intend to use this authority to make such purchases if to do so could be expected to lead to an increase in net assets value per share for the remaining shareholders and would be in the best interests of shareholders generally, having due regard to appropriate gearing levels, alternative investment opportunities and the overall financial position of the Company. The Company bought back 11,956,400 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each during the financial year ended 30 June 2015. Any purchases of ordinary shares would be by means of market purchases through the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. Any shares purchased under this authority may either be cancelled or held as treasury shares by the Company. Treasury shares may subsequently be cancelled or sold for cash. Please refer to explanatory information in the Share Buy-Back Statement dated 2 October 2015. 230 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015 STATEMENT ACCOMPANYING NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Pursuant to Paragraph 8.27 (2) of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (i) Details of individuals who are standing for election as Directors (excluding Directors standing for re-election) No individual is seeking election as a Director at the forthcoming Third Annual General Meeting of the Company.
