The music begins and they take their places onstage. Her mind runs through the lines that she and her classmates have been rehearsing for the past few months. She knows them like the back of her hand by now. She makes a quick glance to her classmate in the wings of the stage, who gives the signal to “wait” as he sets up the music for the opening scene. In the front row, she sees her teacher, excited that they have come this far, and her parents are in the row behind, their pride and joy evident on their faces. She reflects just for a moment on how much has changed in the last few months. Before she joined the Action Song Competition for PINTAR Schools, she had no idea how much it would change her outlook on the English language, singing and on life as well. She sees her classmate giving her the cue to begin and thinks to herself “Lights, camera, action!” As we recall 2014, we are reminded that the true measure of our achievements is the many lives we have touched and the positive outcomes delivered for the many beneficiaries of the PINTAR Programme, who are none other than schoolchildren in under-performing schools across the country. The introduction above is just one of countless new experiences that PINTAR students can attest to while their school participates in the Programme. PINTAR is the result of a unique partnership between private and public sector that strives to create equity in education across the country. so that no Malaysian child is left behind as the country marches on towards socio-economic prosperity and development. PINTAR, which stands for Promoting Intelligence, Nurturing Talent and Advocating Responsibility, was conceived in line with the spirit of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model to reach out to needy and under-performing schools across the nation. When PINTAR Foundation began in 2009, we had a total of 168 adopted schools by 25 PINTAR members. By end 2014, we expanded to 385 schools adopted by a total of 39 members. In less than a decade, PINTAR has touched the lives of more than 660,000 students across the country. Since our inception in 2008, we have worked together with our corporate partners to provide targeted programme interventions to improve educational outcomes of under-performing schools, In 2014, four new corporates joined as PINTAR Foundation members. We welcomed Deleum Berhad, Yayasan Vijayaratnam, Lembaga Tabung Haji and UMW Oil and Gas into the PINTAR family. 2 PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 The past six years have been a challenging but very rewarding journey. We are beginning to see the fruits of our efforts and this has inspired us to strive even harder in transforming the lives of schoolchildren across the country. The PINTAR model has proven itself successful due to several factors. Ours is a practical, sustainable and effective CSR platform for Corporates to come forward in addressing the challenges of a developing nation. We assist our member companies to identify and adopt needy and under-performing schools, help assess their needs and thereafter, the companies play a direct role in enhancing the former’s academic and non-academic achievements. This approach allows for better ownership, flexibility, guidance and support and ultimately enables both school and corporate to achieve their objectives. Companies are given guidance but are allowed autonomy to plan and execute programmes for their adopted schools. In fact, PINTAR members and partners are encouraged to bring their industry knowledge to schools – enabling students to explore new fields of interest which cannot be taught in the confines of a classroom. Our mandatory 3-year adoption period, together with PINTAR’s four core modules which provide guidance for the programme implementation, help to ensure sustainability. This is one of the key success factors of PINTAR; we adopt a long-term perspective towards the adopted schools. Even after the schools have completed their 3-year adoption period, they continue to receive opportunities to participate in PINTAR national programmes and remain in our pipeline for other support. Our efforts are also consistent with plans established by the Ministry of Education. Importantly, PINTAR is a suitable platform for Corporates to easily participate in rather than attempt to develop their own programme from the ground-up. While our corporate members run their own programmes in their adopted schools, the Foundation has introduced various PINTAR National Programmes. These are developed, implemented and funded by the Foundation. We believe that it is important for our national programmes to capture the imagination of students in order to inspire and motivate them to derive maximum benefits from the activities organised. Hence much thought, research and development goes into crafting programmes which to date have been well received. In 2014, we had three national programmes – the PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit (PMLU), PINTAR Go Green programme and the Leadership Programme For PINTAR School Leaders (LPPSL). Our PMLUs are educational buses that visit PINTAR schools nationwide. They are equipped with a wide range of interactive props and exhibits which students can see, touch and feel. The 'Nurturing Talent' theme continued from 2013, where students are exposed to the arts and sciences, a wide range of career choices and more. The opportunity to get up close through experiential learning has a profound effect on their young minds. Their enthusiasm grow as they experience flight simulation, play musical instruments, conduct simple scientific experiments or get exposed to audio engineering, photography, culinary, performing arts, sports and so on. For many, this is the first time they have even seen a flight simulator, making that illusive dream to become a pilot one day that much more reachable. It is this awakening to new possibilities, the discovery that they can have ambitions and go on to achieve them that becomes truly an eye-opener for children who previously never envisioned such things possible. In 2014, our PMLUs visited 231 schools and 10 orphanages, reaching out to a total of 62,513 students; 1,854 teachers and 768 children and residents of orphanages. 231 schools 10 orphanages Our PINTAR Go Green programme was targeted to develop awareness and a sense of responsibility among our students towards the environment; and to inculcate lifestyle changes through a training workshop for teachers and a series of workshops for students. In 2014, 21 schools and 849 students participated in this programme. Programmes were also held to assist school leaders such as teachers and headmasters, in line with PINTAR’s core module on 'Capability and Capacity Building'. The Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders (LPPSL) was first introduced in September 2011. The programme provides awareness and understanding of key critical factors that assist school leaders in spearheading effectiveness and excellence in their schools. In 2014, the programme reached out to 27 school leaders from 16 schools. PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 3 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT The English Literacy Programme, a teacher development programme sponsored by the UEM Group, now in its 3rd year, continued in 2014 and ended in March 2015. Besides teacher development through face-to-face training and mentoring by British Council trainers, we also conducted activities involving parents through the Learn English Family (LEF) programme. One of the activities under LEF is the Reading Circle, which involves parents reading to their children and actively directing the storytelling session. The collective efforts by PINTAR members and the Foundation have culminated in encouraging improvements in student performance. In 2014, our school achieved an average passing rate of 64.5% for the UPSR examinations, slightly higher compared to results measured in 2013. 2014 was the first year where the PMR examinations were replaced with the new PT3. The average passing rate for PINTAR secondary schools was 31%. But since this was the first time the examinations were conducted, this has been established as the baseline for comparison in the years to come. We are happy to report that students’ attendance stood at 91%, marginally higher than the national baseline (2013) of 90%. In literacy levels, a comparison of the LINUS (Literacy and Numeracy Screening) rates for Bahasa Melayu, English and Mathematics among PINTAR students showed improvements from 2013 to 2014 for the same cohort of students. The increase was most notable for the English language subject, with an increase of five percentage points. We also collaborated with several other organisations to extend our scope of assistance as well as provide access for our PINTAR students. In 2014, PINTAR collaborated with Yayasan Hasanah to make available scholarship opportunities for outstanding PINTAR students who had completed their UPSR. Three students were selected and given scholarships to pursue secondary education at Kolej Yayasan Saad in Melaka. At the same time, a leadership programme sponsored by Danajamin Nasional Berhad enabled our secondary PINTAR students to participate in a 3-year Leadership programme that will take them from Form 4 to pre-University. The first batch which kicked-off in 2014 consisted of 30 students from 5 schools. Besides academic performance, the Foundation was also concerned about the welfare of PINTAR students. In 2014, eighteen PINTAR schools were affected by the massive floods which hit the 4 PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 East Coast and other parts of Malaysia at the end of the year. Our team worked tirelessly towards ensuring that affected students received assistance so they may return to school when the new term began. We identified 10 schools that were already being assisted by our members. The remaining eight Alumni schools were directly assisted by PINTAR, made possible through funds provided by Khazanah Nasional Berhad. A total of RM233,000 was spent on school kits for a total of 2,176 students. Each school kit consisted of two school uniforms, a pair of school shoes, a school bag, stationery and exercise books. The school kits were distributed to all eight schools within three days, with assistance from the UEM Group, who provided logistical support. Looking Ahead As we continue to journey on, as we empower the young; inspiring and motivating them, we are not rewriting the future of individuals but perhaps the future of Malaysia. PINTAR’s success story is Malaysia’s success story. If Malaysia is to succeed in becoming a high-income and developed nation, then it must be able to harness the fullest potential of its human capital, particularly the future generation. Our children are Malaysia’s human capital tomorrow. This simple equation means that by ensuring that all children in the country receive equal access to quality education that enhances their experience and knowledge, we are ensuring that the country will continue to possess quality human capital that is capable of bringing Malaysia forward to be on par with other developed countries. This is what PINTAR aspires to achieve. Above and beyond academic achievements, we seek to develop future generations that are as creative as they are knowledgeable, with a high sense of social responsibility and moral integrity through holistic education. We are reminded that the future is not cast in stone; rather it is moulded over time and if we make committed and sincere attempts today to change the horizon, then tomorrow will certainly usher better days. From our experience, all schoolchildren are equally capable and bright, but some may lack exposure, access and infrastructure. Given the opportunity, they will rise above the challenges and succeed. We have come far, but there is more work to be done. The Foundation will continue to assist companies in the school adoption process as well as add value to what they do through our national programmes. In addition, as we strive towards achieving our corporate objective to become the 'Centre of Excellence for school adoption', we will consider new and innovative means to assist members deliver more effective programmes at schools, as well as monitor and evaluate the outcomes. We will continue to work closely with the Ministry of Education to ensure that we remain relevant and support the transformation initiatives of the new Education Blueprint 2013 – 2025. We continue to work hard at attracting more corporates to join the PINTAR Programme. I would like to urge all corporations that desire to engage with their communities as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) agenda, to emulate the commitment of PINTAR’s existing members and partners. We ask you to consider joining the PINTAR Programme or to sponsor our PINTAR National Programmes. It is only through the collective effort of all parties that we will be able to achieve the goal of developing world-class human capital to meet our country’s economic needs. Acknowledgements On behalf of the Foundation, I wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the Putrajaya Committee on GLC High Performance (PCG), Khazanah Nasional Berhad, the Ministries of Education and Finance, Malaysia and all schools involved especially the school heads, teachers, and students for placing their confidence in the Foundation and giving us the opportunity to come into their lives. I also convey my sincerest gratitude to our member and partner corporations for walking with us on this wonderful journey. Their continued efforts and contributions are an inspiration to all and we look forward to your support in the years ahead. I wish to also extend the Foundation’s appreciation to our programme sponsors for providing the opportunities to our PINTAR students and to our programme partners for their assistance in the implementation of our national programmes. Last but not least, I express my deepest appreciation to the management and staff of the PINTAR Foundation and our Board of Trustees for their dedication, passion and professionalism upon which our success is built today. Once again, I wish to say thank you to all and on behalf of the Board, present to you PINTAR Foundation’s Annual Report for 2014.

The year 2014, however, marked a change in measuring and analysing students' outcomes for both the lower and upper secondary schools in Malaysia. In 2014, the PT3 examinations effectively replaced PMR as the country moves towards assessment based evaluation. A passing rate of 31% was registered for PINTAR schools for the examinations. As this is the first time that the PT3 has come into effect, there has been acknowledgement of challenges in the implementation of the PT3. The SPM results for PINTAR schools saw a marked decline compared to previous years due to the change in examination formats, as well as a need for students to answer more critically. However, the decline is also noted at the National level. It should be noted, however, that whilst the PINTAR Programme is an intervention programme, it is difficult to show direct correlation between intervention and performance as there are other factors and variables that may have contributed to the improvement or decline in passing rates. In addition, some of the programmes implemented under PINTAR have been non-academic in nature, as these are aimed at providing holistic education to students. This has made it challenging for us to measure them quantitatively.

In all these years, PINTAR has remained dedicated to its goal of providing targeted programme interventions to improve the educational outcomes of under-performing schools in Malaysia. By working together with multiple stakeholders from both the public and private sector, especially the Foundation’s members and partners, the Foundation has made modest strides in its school adoption programme for the year 2014. It continued to engage with potential corporate companies with the objective to spur them to adopt needy schools and to give back to the community. At the same time, the Foundation continued to spearhead innovative programmes targeted to inspire a values driven generation that is ready to take on a responsible position in the future of the nation. PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 17 OPERATIONS REVIEW Financial Performance In 2014, the Foundation continued to make a concerted effort to conserve and consolidate its spending to ensure greater sustainability of its funding. The total expenditure for the year was RM3,940,886 showing a 22% decrease in spending compared to 2013. The reduced spending has not affected the daily operations of the Foundation, and all National Programmes planned for the year ran smoothly. 2013 2014 Total Expenditure 22% 39 MEMBERS & PARTNERS The Foundation finished the year with a total of 39 members and partners, and 29 new schools 29 New Schools RM3,940,886 About 53.4% of the Foundation’s total expenditure was spent on running National Programmes for PINTAR schools. This included the operations of the PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit (PMLU), the implementation of the PINTAR Go Green School Programme and the Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders, which amounted to a total of RM2,104,464. A further 46.6% amounting to RM1,836,422 was channelled to HR, marketing, communication, stakeholder engagement and administrative costs. In 2014, the operating costs of the Foundation was largely funded by the Khazanah grant obtained in the same year and partly by the remains of the Government fund obtained in 2009. At the same time, the Foundation also obtained additional funds from its consultancy service, fundraising activities, sponsorship as well as interest income. Painting Better Futures for All The year 2014 saw the addition of four ordinary members and one reactivated partner. The new members, Lembaga Tabung Haji and Vijayaratnam Foundation, joined the Foundation in May, while 18 PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 UMW Oil and Gas and Deleum Berhad, became members in Aug. Media Prima was reactivated as a partner in November and the Foundation finished the year with a total of 39 members and partners, and 29 new schools, bringing the total number of PINTAR schools to 385. Our members and partners funded a total of RM6,629,088 in 2014 for programmes at their schools, which is a 13% increase compared to 2013. The average amount invested by PINTAR members per school also increased to RM36,780 per school. PINTAR members have also contributed to the programme in terms of manpower. Throughout 2014, at least 27 volunteers from the members’ organisations worked on the ground for a total of 161 hours to ensure the smooth running of the programmes at their adopted schools. The total number of activities by PINTAR members has also increased in 2014, with 587 activities covering all four Core Modules, but with a stronger focus on Core Module 1 (Motivation and Team Building) and Core Module 2 (Educational Support Programme). With the cohesive collaboration and dedication from multiple stakeholders, including members, partners, schools’ management teams, teachers, the Ministry of Education, as well as the state and district education departments, the students in PINTAR schools have ultimately benefitted with encouraging results reflected in public examinations and LINUS tests. The UPSR passing rate for PINTAR students for instance, increased by 0.5% from the year before. The year 2014 also saw the implementation of the ‘Pentaksiran Tingkatan 3’ (PT3) by the Ministry of Education that effectively replaced the PMR public examinations. Although PINTAR secondary schools registered a perceived low passing rate of 31%, there is wide acknowledgement of some teething problems in this new examination system that the Ministry of Education will seek to address. We remain optimistic for better outcomes in the future for our schools. Apart from examination results, other indicators for PINTAR schools include the LINUS rating for Bahasa Melayu, Mathematics and English. The LINUS for PINTAR schools measured over two years in 2013 and 2014 with the same cohort of students saw a significant improvement, most notably in English, which had improved by five percentage points. The ratings for both Bahasa Melayu and Mathematics also saw an increase of about 2 percentage points each. Average school attendance rates for PINTAR students also remained steady at 91%. The year 2014 has also been a year where the Foundation has focused its efforts on measuring and evaluating the programmes run by its members and partners, as well as the Foundation at schools. Feedback received through schools visits and surveys have indicated a high level of satisfaction among the stakeholders in schools towards the PINTAR Programme. 95% of respondents agreed on the effectiveness of programmes run by the company that adopts them, as well as PINTAR’s National Programmes. This indicates that the PINTAR Programme continues to meet the needs of the schools – something Agreement which the Foundation hopes to maintain % on PINTAR’S National while working on other aspects that have Programmes room for improvement. goals that have been set by the Ministry of Education, but approached in a fun and interactive manner that not only engages the students, but create a lasting impression that stays with them as they grow. The PINTAR National Programmes help students to stimulate their thinking, discover their talents, as well as instil good moral values. In 2014, PINTAR Foundation implemented three national programmes: PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit, PINTAR Go Green School Programme and the Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders. PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit (PMLU) The PMLU is a bus converted into a fun learning space which aims to provoke action and thought among students of PINTAR schools. Introduced in 2009, the PMLU remains one of the most anticipated national programmes in the PINTAR Foundation stable. The Foundation maintains two PMLU units, and the buses run during the school year to visit PINTAR schools. 95 National Programmes Realising the need to escalate the promotion of holistic education, PINTAR Foundation runs programmes at the national level for its PINTAR schools to cultivate creative and innovative students. These programmes are funded, designed, implemented, managed and monitored by the Foundation imbued with varying themes based on the Foundation’s key tenets, which are ‘Promoting Intelligence’, ‘Nurturing Talent’, and ‘Advocating Responsibility’. The programmes complement existing efforts and The theme for the year 2013/2014 was ‘Nurturing Talent,’ which featured learning stations that are tailored towards getting PINTAR students to cultivate an ambition or a goal in life that they can aspire to. PMLU1 was furnished with various displays and hands-on activities related to careers such as aeronautics, sound engineering, photography, medicine, culinary arts and sports; while PMLU2 was specifically designed to inspire the students’ interest in science, mathematics, art and performing arts. PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 19 OPERATIONS REVIEW Between February to November 2014, the PMLU covered all states in the Peninsula Malaysia, visiting a total of 231 schools and 10 orphanages. The PMLU ended its journey in 2014 in the state of Johor, and was retired at the end of the year to be refurbished for the new theme, ‘Promoting Intelligence’ in 2015. Since the programme began in 2012, it has involved a total of 2,738 students from 71 schools across Malaysia. The programme was conducted in three phases, with a batch of about 900 students in each phase. The programme ended in 2014, with the conclusion of Phase 3 for 21 schools, and the Train-the-Trainer teachers’ Workshop which involved 36 teachers in 20 schools nationwide. Accomplishments in 2014 Accomplishments in 2014 • • • • • • • Theme Coverage Participants Achievement : : : : Nurturing Talent Visited 231 schools and 10 orphanages 62,513 students; 1,854 teachers and 768 others 94.5% satisfaction rating was achieved among visitors who were surveyed PINTAR Go Green School Programme By aligning with one of the Foundation’s key tenets, ‘Advocating Responsibility’, PINTAR, in partnership with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), executed the Go Green School Programme. The Foundation is cognisant that good habits need to be cultivated from a young age and this programme endeavours to inspire young PINTAR students to adopt responsible lifestyles and attitudes that are more environmentally conscious. The programme is based on the Green ROSE concept, ROSE being the acronym for ‘Reduce, Offset, Substitute and Enhance’. The concept fosters environmental stewardship in students as part of PINTAR Foundation’s initiative to promote behavioural change in the attitude of individuals towards the environment. This is done through a series of activities for students as well as teachers that serve to inculcate strong values to protect the environment. 20 PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Activity : 1. Train-the-Trainer teachers’ Workshop 2. Students’ workshops Participants : 36 teachers in 20 schools nationwide Participants : 849 students in 21 schools Achievement: Almost 99% of the students surveyed stated that they highly agreed/agreed that the programme gave them a deeper insight into recycling and how to conserve the environment, while 96% of teachers surveyed stated that they highly agreed/ agreed that the programme was beneficial for their school and students Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders Recognising the important role that school leaders play in creating the right learning environment and motivating teachers and students, in September 2011, the Foundation embarked on a mission to develop their capacities and capabilities. This led to the creation of the Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders (LPPSL) which aligns with PINTAR’s third core module, ‘Capability and Capacity Building’. The programme provides awareness and understanding of key critical factors that assist school leaders in spearheading effectiveness and excellence in their schools. In 2014, PINTAR Foundation completed Phase 2, Batch 3 of the programme that covered three key areas relevant to school leadership: leadership and management; leading learning; and gather, use and analyse data. The programme aims to deepen the understanding of the school leadership role; to share the best practices in school leadership and management; as well as to provide opportunities for the school principals to apply effective management models in their leadership role at their respective schools. The LPPSL programme is a strategic capacity building programme which recognises that highly motivated and dedicated teaching workforce is key to creating positive impact to schools and students alike. Accomplishments in 2014 • Activity : Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders Phase 2, Batch 3 • Participants : 27 school leaders from 16 schools in Pulau Pinang, Perak, Johor, Melaka and Negeri Sembilan • Achievement : 93% of the participants were satisfied with the training to garner feedback from them. This led to the development of our Monitoring and Evaluation system of our members’ programmes. PINTAR staff were deployed to gather feedback that would ultimately help us improve the programme and activities under the PINTAR umbrella. The Foundation has also continued with activities throughout the year to actively engage with State Education Departments (JPN) and the Ministry of Education (MoE) that helped paved the way for better facilitation of programmes at PINTAR schools. PINTAR Roundtables Since its establishment, PINTAR Foundation has organised bi-annual Roundtable sessions for its members and partners. The Roundtables provide the platform for the sharing of knowledge and experience, whilst encouraging collaboration amongst members in order to bring the PINTAR Programme to greater heights. Two Roundtables were held in 2014. The 21st Roundtable was held on 21 February 2014 at Mercu UEM. The half-day session began with a presentation on PINTAR schools’ performance for UPSR, PMR and SPM, and an analysis of programmes by Members and the Satisfaction Survey results for 2013. The PINTAR team then went on to present the Foundation’s upcoming programmes in 2014. A sharing session was also done by Malaysia Airline Systems (MAS) and SMK Juasseh, followed by a presentation by Tuan Haji Aminuddin Adam, the Deputy Director of School Management Division, MoE, who elaborated on the importance of the engagement and involvement of the private sector in empowering public schools in the country. He informed participants on MoE’s seven focus areas for the school adoption programme, and called for the assistance of the member companies to develop higher order thinking skills (HOTS) through co-curricular activities. The event ended with a final presentation by Mr. Caspar Mays, the English Programmes Manager for the British Council who introduced members to British Council’s English programmes for schools. Stakeholder Engagement The success of the PINTAR Programme lies in the effective collaboration of various stakeholders. By working closely and addressing the needs and concerns of each stakeholder, the Foundation has ensured that the students and schools will ultimately gain the most out of the Programme. One of PINTAR’s primary activity for the year 2014 has largely centred on closer engagement with our schools PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 21 OPERATIONS REVIEW The 22nd Roundtable was held on 24 September 2014 at the Pullman Hotel, Bangsar. Aside from the usual report by PINTAR to members, the event also featured a sharing session by Mr. Teoh Boon Hai, the Chief Assistant Director for MoE’s Educational Technology Division (BTP). Mr. Teoh urged PINTAR members to look at ways on how they can implement some of BTP’s initiatives at their schools in collaboration with their partners. The second sharing session was by Pn. Nursoraya Abdul Rahman, Vice President for CSR at Iskandar Investment Berhad (IIB). In her session, Pn. Nursoraya showcased the work IIB has been doing with the Johan Cruyff Foundation, and in particular, the Cruyff Court project. Engaging the Ministry of Education (MoE) and State Education Departments (JPN) To ensure that all programmes and processes are aligned with the Ministry of Education (MoE), the Foundation has always worked closely with related departments within the ministry to ensure not only transparency, but accountability and assurance. The Foundation continues to receive valuable support and patronage by the MoE and State Education Departments (Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri or JPN) for programmes under the PINTAR stable. Throughout 2014, the Foundation regularly engaged with various departments within MoE and JPNs to update them on not only PINTAR’s progress, but also to stimulate frank and honest dialogue between both parties to understand, capture and address concerns and issues. In 2014, PINTAR visited a total of ten JPNs in the states of Kuala Lumpur, Pulau Pinang, Perlis, Labuan, Sarawak, Terengganu, Johor, Selangor, Melaka and Kelantan. Monitoring and Evaluation In 2014, the Foundation seriously looked at how it could improve the Monitoring and Evaluation of the PINTAR Programme. The M&E development exercise which began in 2013 was completed in March 2014 and several briefings were held for active members to brief and coach them on how to use the M&E templates that have been developed to monitor their programmes at their adopted schools. In order to determine the match between the school’s needs against the programmes run by the members, the PINTAR team visited a total of 24 schools in Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Johor, Kedah, Perlis and Perak to conduct our own surveys with the schools. The school visits were done from late August until the middle of November in 2014, with a target of at least one school from each active member. A total of 76 respondents comprising Headmasters, Senior Assistants and teachers were interviewed, with a largely positive outcome. The M&E exercise at the schools allowed the Foundation to gauge the effectiveness of the four Core Modules and how the programmes have benefitted the target groups. Apart from this, it also enabled us to measure the respondents’ level of satisfaction with the Foundation, as well as members’ engagement at the school. Most of all, the M&E exercise provided feedback that enabled the Foundation to identify specific areas for improvement that can escalate the PINTAR Programme to greater heights in the future. During each visit, PINTAR updated them on PINTAR’s progress, while the respective JPN provided feedback and advice. The visits also allowed PINTAR representatives to get better acquainted with JPN officers that they have worked with, as well as with recently appointed ones. Apart from the M&E exercise for the programmes under the PINTAR umbrella, we also hold satisfaction surveys annually with key stakeholder groups – PINTAR members as well as PINTAR School teachers and students, to get feedback on the Foundation. In 2014, the members’ satisfaction survey conducted was focused on their perception of the Foundation, support provided by PINTAR staff, as well as the quality and effectiveness of PINTAR National Programmes. The satisfaction score average for the survey was 89%, indicating that the 22 PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Media Value Index 1.87million RM Revamped Website In 2014, we embarked on revamping our existing website, with the addition of new sections and pages. Realising the need to stay relevant online, and to keep up with the changing trends, we made our website more attractive and interactive, to ensure that our stakeholders are always up-to-date on PINTAR news, whether it is in the form of media releases, articles, newsletters, or simply as a place for one to read the latest news regarding important developments related to education in Malaysia. members place a high level of value on the services rendered by the Foundation, and we will be working towards ensuring the satisfaction levels continue to improve. Building Brand Equity Building the PINTAR brand has been one of the main priorities of the Foundation over the years, as it is highly important for PINTAR to establish itself as the centre of excellence in school adoption that will in turn make it attractive for corporate Malaysia to come on board as members. Our strategy to strengthen the PINTAR brand to create greater awareness continues to guide us in 2014. The Foundation made modest progress in 2014, with the strengthening of the PINTAR brand awareness through media coverage, strides made in grass-roots awareness at public events, the revamping of the Foundation’s website, and a revitalisation of our social media approach. Media Engagement The Foundation continues to actively engage with the media to reaffirm and reinforce the PINTAR cause to a wider audience in a positive, consistent and credible manner. PINTAR leverages on its National Programmes and other activities to gain the attention of the media, while cultivating a close relationship with journalists and editors. This is done by understanding what the media needs and wants for its content, and allowing them access to information within PINTAR that would be able to meet their expectations. This has proven to be a good strategy for the year 2014, as the Communications team was able to garner interview spots for a number of prominent print, online and broadcast media that have led to greater publicity for the PINTAR programme, achieving a Media Value Index worth RM1.87 million. The new revamped website, launched in April 2014, is also fully integrated with various social media platforms, with capabilities to accept online donations directly from members of the public. The Bahasa Malaysia version of the website was launched in August 2014 to cater to a wider audience. Brand Messaging through Print, Online and Social Media It has become increasingly more important for organisations today to utilise online and social media platforms to communicate with multiple stakeholders. In 2014, PINTAR added two more social media platforms; Twitter and LinkedIn to maintain a more engaging relationship with its stakeholders. Apart from enabling the Foundation to relay information to the public in real time, the social media platforms also allowed us to push information on PINTAR’s own website to its social media platforms, while reinforcing the PINTAR brand to an audience that has become increasingly more internet savvy. We also produce and publish a quarterly newsletter which keeps our key stakeholders abreast of the most recent activities and achievements, and gives an added value to PINTAR members. The newsletter features the activities and programmes that the members and partners run at PINTAR schools which in turn lends a “voice” to the schools as well. The PINTAR Voices has also been one of the key marketing tools used to promote the PINTAR programme, and plans are in store in the coming year to revamp the newsletter to garner greater interest. Fundraising The year 2014 saw PINTAR Foundation exploring new avenues for fund-raising and participated in two public exhibitions for this purpose. PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 23 OPERATIONS REVIEW In November, the PINTAR team was at the Malaysian Islamic Children’s Fair which was held at the Shah Alam Convention Centre. During the event, PINTAR Foundation was able to position itself as a reputable non-profit organisation dedicated towards helping children achieve their potential. Visitors to the Foundation’s booth enjoyed free face-painting, while learning more about the PINTAR cause. In the following month, the PINTAR team was at Iskarnival, held at Educity Sports Complex in Johor Bahru. Iskarnival participants were treated to a mini library at the Foundation’s booth, where children were able to enjoy reading books provided by Asia Foundation, as well as learn more about the two books published for PINTAR Foundation, which are the ‘Malaysian Art Book for Children,’ and ‘Beating the Odds.’ The marketing and fund-raising team were able to raise a total of RM31,800 from the sales of the books in 2014. PINTAR Consultancy Service English Literacy Programme Sponsored by UEM Group Berhad The English Literacy Programme (ELP) sponsored by UEM Group focuses on strengthening the teaching and learning of the English language through capacity building using a variety of methods which include quality delivery structures; supportive intervention and community involvement to help enhance and develop students’ reading, writing, understanding and speaking skills in English. Executed in 50 primary schools, the ELP seeks to improve teachers’ ability to teach English in a manner that will help enhance the way students learn the language and ultimately to be able to speak and write in English. In 2014, the ELP entered its last year of the programme. Started in April 2012, the programme concluded in March 2015. The year 2014 continued to focus on face-to-face training for teachers, and mentoring sessions at schools by British Council trainers. Besides that, a major student activity which commenced in 2013 – Action Song, culminated in two regional competitions in February 2014, whilst drama training for students started in the last quarter of the year. In addition, seven reading circles under the ‘Learn English Family’, a project to actively engage parents in promoting literacy were completed. The ELP is fully funded by UEM Group Berhad, and is managed, co-ordinated and monitored by PINTAR Foundation. The British Council, noted for its expertise in managing and delivering educational projects in diverse communities, was appointed as the Programme Partner to design and deliver the teacher development programme over the three years. 24 PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Danajamin 100 (Student Leadership Programme) The Danajamin 100 programme is a bespoke three-year leadership programme funded by Danajamin Nasional Berhad which kicked off in the last quarter of 2014. For the first cohort of the programme, PINTAR secondary schools in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan were invited to nominate eligible students for the programme. A total of 80 students applied for the programme from five schools in both states. From this, it was shortlisted to 40 students who had to attend a Students’ Selection Camp at the Commonwealth Forest Park and Resort where students participated in specific activities designed to identify the best candidates. Following this, 30 students were selected as the first cohort. The 30 students who were chosen from this camp went on to undergo an orientation session and training at the Outward Bound School in Lumut, Perak for five days in November 2014. This first cohort will be attending smart learning camps, study excellence programmes, and a holiday leadership camp in 2015, while another selection process will begin for the programme’s second batch of students. Employee Development The Foundation’s progress is attributed to the dedication and passion of the people within it. We value the role of our staff and the contributions they make towards the continued success and smooth operations of all activities and programmes under the Foundation. As the pulse of the organisation, the staff members’ continued wellbeing remains a top priority. The Foundation continues to stay committed towards providing a safe and conducive work environment and culture in which their welfare is assured. In order to ensure that the staff members remain motivated, the Foundation continues to emphasize on staff welfare and building their capabilities with relevant training and development that not only help improve processes within the Foundation, but stimulate a sense of learning that excites them. In 2014, PINTAR Foundation had 18 staff, and based on a training needs analysis, they were enrolled in programmes conducted by external trainers on Microsoft Office Excel skills, Presentation Skills; Business Writing; and Coaching and Mentoring for Educational Development, where each employee received an average of two training days.

In the effort to level the playing field between urban and rural children, the Bank has affiliated with PINTAR Foundation in its School Adoption Programme. Since our involvement with the programme in 2008, we have adopted 18 schools across the country, assisting the Foundation to educate and impart useful skills to more than 15,000 primary school students nationwide. Under the PINTAR programme, the Bank has supported various activities developed by the foundation in its effort to provide quality education for all and ensuring schools and students receive adequate aid to attain the highest standards of education. Biodiesel Workshops Organised in collaboration with Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), the Biodiesel workshop is aimed to raise awareness on the conservation and preservation of the environment among youths. Named as ‘ChemEngOutreach@Biodiesel in School!’, the workshop introduced the biodiesel portable mini reactor developed by the university with the financial sponsorship from the Bank. The portable mini reactor converts used cooking oil into biodiesel. In its effort to spread the benefits of biodiesel, the workshop shed light on how this form of fuel is less harmful to the environment compared to conventional fuel. Demonstrations for PINTAR students were done to show how the portable biodiesel mini reactors worked. Various other interactive activities were also conducted including demonstrations on the process of making soaps, juices and ice cream, among others. Overall, the programme had a positive impact on nearly 700 students from the five schools adopted by the Bank. Survivor Camp Conducted by the 25th Battalion Rejimen Askar Melayu DiRaja Camp, Bentong, Pahang, this programme received popular reviews from both the adopted schools and the parents. The 3-day, 2-night programme was customised to suit the participants’ capacity and capabilities. The module, which focuses on character-building, patriotism and survival skills, was carried out with the aim of building the students’ selfconfidence and leadership skills, while fostering the spirit of healthy competition and teamwork. Among the activities carried out are lessons and training on public speaking, motivation, first aid, jungle trekking, map reading, cooking, marching and obstacle course race, among others. This programme saw the involvement of 150 students and 15 teachers from three schools. The Bank has also financially supported six other programmes and activities for their adopted schools. This includes the Jaya Waris motivational course which provided parents with insights into their children’s behaviour and taught them how to motivate their children. Other programmes included UPSR clinics, English communications workshops and capacity building workshops for teachers. Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad “PINTAR Programme has helped us to reach out to those who really matter. By affiliating ourselves with PINTAR, Bank Islam’s CSR education initiatives have been tailored to benefit children or students who come from poor economic backgrounds, who otherwise would not be able to afford access to learning facilities available to well-to-do students. Participation in PINTAR also had a clear positive effect on our staff whereby they are now more likely to translate their empathy into action; to get more involved in social programmes and volunteer their effort to make meaningful contributions to society.” Dato’ Sri Zukri Samat Managing Director Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 29 PREMIUM MEMBER MEMBERS’ ACTIVITIES Since its establishment in 2007, CIMB Foundation has adopted 20 schools, with ten of them currently active. The CIMB Foundation-PINTAR programme aims at helping underperforming schools to improve their overall academic performance, mainly focusing on improving the understanding and usage of the English language among its pupils. This is realised by motivating the active schools through rewarding top achievers as well as involving them in fun English language activities that allow them to be more confident in using the language. CIMB Foundation-PINTAR Award Ceremony The 7th PINTAR School prize-giving ceremony was held at Sunway Lost World of Tambun, Perak on 29 December 2014. The event was held to recognise the achievements in both academic and non-academic excellence of more than 140 pupils and honoured schools that performed well this year. Each pupil received cash prizes ranging from RM500 – RM1,500 for their award category and back to school kits. Additionally, pupils are awarded RM1,000 if they secured a place in a boarding school. During the ceremony, Sekolah Seri Perlis was nominated Best School, followed by SJKC Tong Yuh and SK Seri Muda with cash prizes worth RM10,000, RM8,000 and RM5,000. 30 PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 English Language Contest Day in Kedah and Perlis PINTAR Schools In an effort to help create a more competitive environment, a series of English Language Contests were held. Four competitions: Spelling Bee, Quiz, Story Telling and Scrabble were adopted into the programme for both Level 1 and Level 2 pupils. The pupils first competed within their respective schools and the finalists were then selected to compete at the interschool level on 23 August 2014. More than 350 pupils gathered at Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri Perlis in Kangar, Perlis for the English Language Contest’s Final Round. The objectives of the one-day event were to instil interest in the English language amongst the pupils, expose them to learning the language through fun and exciting activities and to boost their confidence and self-esteem. SK Kuala Perlis, the lowest performing school among the 10 schools, emerged as the overall best school, followed by SK Pedu and SJK (C) Tong Yuh. Each winning school received RM2,000, RM1,500 and RM1,000 respectively. It is hoped that such activities will help the schools realise that being categorised as rural and low-performing schools does not mean that the pupils have no future. It has been proven here that pupils can do wonders if they are given the right stimuli and motivation. CIMB FOUNDATION “CIMB Foundation has been a part of PINTAR family since our establishment in 2007. We have seen how the programme has enriched the lives of countless undeserved pupils who would otherwise not have had the opportunity to blossom. Our employees love volunteering for the programmes and activities as it boost their motivation, engagement and make them happier. Programmes such as this send a positive signal to our employees and attracts better talents. The employees in turn, are likely to get identified with a responsible organisation, especially if their values correspond with responsible and ethical business policies and practices.” YM Raja Noorma Binti Raja Othman Chief Executive Officer CIMB Foundation PREMIUM MEMBER DANAJAMIN NASIONAL BERHAD Danajamin Nasional Berhad adopted its first school, SK Petaling (1), as a Premium member of PINTAR Foundation in June 2013. Their far reaching objective is to improve the rating band of the school and elevate its overall standing relative to other schools. Upon adoption, Danajamin’s priority was to improve the overall passing rates of the students, particularly standard 6 pupils. Danajamin’s involvement stretches beyond that of their adopted school as in November 2014, they launched the Danajamin100 Leadership Programme which aims to develop and maximise the potential of Malaysia’s future leaders by providing selected Form 4 students exposure to a variety of well-designed engagements to optimise their leadership promise and potential. Mohamed Nazri Omar Chief Executive Officer Danajamin Nasional Berhad Danajamin100 Leadership Programme Elevating and improving their adopted school Spread over a period of 3 years, activities and training modules under the structured programme focuses on character building, leadership, communication, and other soft skills. The Danajamin100 programme has begun with the first batch of thirty Form 4 students from PINTAR schools within Selangor and Negeri Sembilan. The students were selected based on academic as well as non-academic performance. PINTAR Foundation was appointed by Danajamin to manage and monitor the programme under its PINTAR Consultancy Service. Danajamin’s support for the school took a two pronged approach which was to address the material and emotional/mental needs of the students and teachers alike. This entailed providing tangible support in the form of books and other study materials as well as intangible support in the form of motivational-type programmes in order to promote learning. The Danajamin100 programme will create a diverse and intelligent pool of talent that can lead effectively and compete successfully for the nation.

Our first project with SK Petaling only helped to reinforce this as the staff took a personal interest in the students and they basked in the student’s academic achievements. Through future collaborations with PINTAR, we look forward to further increasing staff engagement and enhancing the staff’s personal development by providing them the opportunity to discover their core strengths through various involvements with students.” PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 31 PREMIUM MEMBER MEMBERS’ ACTIVITIES Malaysia Airlines’ (MAS) a Premium Member of PINTAR Foundation has been actively involved in PINTAR since its inception in 2007.

Road Safety Programme First introduced in 2011, this programme is now in its fourth annual installment. In 2014, the programme was held at Legoland® Malaysia, Amazing Patriotic Race In conjunction with the country’s 57th Independence Day and Malaysia Day celebrations, UEM Sunrise organised the ‘Amazing Patriotic Race’ for its PINTAR primary and secondary students. The event was participated by 160 students comprising students from eight primary schools, and four secondary schools, making it the most participated National Day activity by UEM Sunrise’s PINTAR schools. UEM SUNRISE BERHAD “UEM Sunrise’s CSR approach is based on two strands – Education Enhancement and Community Building, applicable within the communities where we operate and have our presence in; with the aim to enrich people through impactful programmes. We reach out to offer a helping hand to communities through education-related activities and other various forms of social assistance to build closer relationships and to bridge the gap between the underprivileged group and our developments.” Green Campaign For the year 2014, the campaign entered its fifth consecutive year with active participation from 15 out of 17 UEM Sunrise PINTAR schools. The schools comprised 11 primary schools and four secondary schools. This year, UEM Sunrise in collaboration with the Department of Environment (“DOE”) Johor, under the Education Unit, designed the Green Campaign in the form of project work for participating schools. The project took place over three months starting from July to September and was funded by a cash grant amounting to RM1,000 for each participating school.

It was the first time I learned how to use a flight simulator, and we kept taking turns with my other classmates. It certainly has given me the motivation to work hard at school so that perhaps one day I can be a pilot, and fly a real plane. The others stations, like the photography and sports, was a lot of fun too, and made me think more about what I want to be when I grow up. Mohd Rafiq Ikhwan bin Mohd Rahimy, Student SK Pandamaran Jaya, Selangor 44 PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 I found the LPPSL by PINTAR Foundation to be extremely beneficial for teaching and leading. I shared all that I have learned at training sessions for the teachers at my own school, and 100% of them found the methods to be good. Teachers have informed me that they have enjoyed me “micro-teaching” them, and the methods they have learned have cascaded down to the students, where they are currently enjoying active learning. I have since left for a new school, and am still carrying out the same methods. Sometimes I find myself wishing that PINTAR will adopt the new school that I am in now so that we can continue to enjoy the many other wonderful programmes conducted by PINTAR Foundation. Siti A’ida Joned, Teacher SMK Gombak Setia, Selangor PINTAR Go Green School Programme Since the implementation of the programme, our students have become more aware of the importance of conserving the environment for the future generations to come. Their passion and change in behavior since the programme has resulted in not only a much cleaner school compound, but have led to the students actively recycling and reusing wastes. We have since retained all lessons learned through the Go Green Programme in all subjects, including co-curriculum activities – whereas it used to be only confined within the Science subject. Fong Mun Hin, Teacher SK Semabok, Melaka English Literacy Programme The English Literacy Programme that my son attended was truly different compared to the usual school activities he has attended. He’s loved it since it first began, and both his confidence and command of the language have vastly improved. The ELP has also brought together the community around the school, who all came together to make the production better. SHARIFAH NAWWAL SYED ABDUL AZIZ, Parent to Muhammad Abdullah SK Polis Depot, Kuala Lumpur English Literacy Programme Danajamin100 Student Leadership Programme The programme helped me a lot in terms of improving how I learn in school. I’ve always been rather overwhelmed when it comes to school, as I find juggling between all the subjects I learn in school, and revising for all of them at home to be at times confusing. The programme has taught me on how to be more organised, and to prioritise, enabling me to get the most out of my revision time, and this has made school work much easier to manage, and even enjoyable. This programme has been very important and meaningful for me, as I have learnt a lot of skills that I previously did not know, as I was never trained to teach English. I now know how to manage the class better, and how to effectively reward the students in class. The programme has particularly improved how I approached listening and speaking skills for the students. Now I know how to specifically approach it, that would allow the students to speak up more in class.

Trustees’ responsibility for the financial statements The Trustees of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia. The Trustees are also responsible for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Trustees, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 50 PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Report on other legal and regulatory requirements In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 (“the Act”) in Malaysia, we also report that in our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 31 December 2014 1. Corporate information 2.3 Standards issued but not yet effective The principal activities of the Company are to enhance the education, development of human capital in nation building which will benefit the Malaysian society and community at large. There have been no significant changes in the nature of the principal activities during the financial year. The Company is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia. The registered office of the Company is located at Level 33, Tower 2, Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, 50088 Kuala Lumpur. 2.4 Significant accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in accordance with MFRSs requires the use of certain accounting estimates and exercise of judgments. Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on past experience, reasonable expectations of future events and other factors. The directors are of the opinion that there are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Trustees in accordance with a resolution of the Trustees on 4 June 2015. 2. Significant accounting policies 2.1Basis of preparation The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRSs”), which is in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is also the Company’s functional currency. 2.2 Changes in accounting policies The directors expect that the new MFRSs which are issued but not yet effective for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 will not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company in the period of initial application. 2.5 Summary of significant accounting policies (a) Property and equipment All items of property and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Subsequent to recognition, property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The new and revised MFRSs, which are mandatory for companies with financial period beginning on or after 1 January 2014, did not give rise to any significant effects on the financial statements of the Company. PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 53 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 31 December 2014 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) (c) Income tax (i) Current tax 2.5 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) (a) Property and equipment (cont’d) 3 years 3 years tenancy period tenancy period 3 years 3 years 5 years The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. An item of property and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. (b) Grants 54 Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Depreciation of other property and equipment is computed on a straight-line over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Computer software Website development Renovation Furniture and fittings Office equipment Computer equipment Motor vehicle Grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all conditions attached will be met. Grants relating to income, shall be recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Grants relating to an asset, are amortised to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments or presented in the balance sheet by deducting the grants in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset. PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 (d) Impairment of non-financial assets The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units (“CGU”)). In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset 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. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 31 December 2014 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) 2.5 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. (d) Impairment of non-financial assets (cont’d) (f) Impairment of financial assets Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed 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. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss. The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. (i)Receivables To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, the Company considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the 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 the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively 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 reversal is recognised in profit or loss. (e) Financial assets Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. (g) Financial liabilities (i) Loans and receivables Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability. PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 55 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 31 December 2014 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d) Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur. 2.5 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) (g) Financial liabilities (cont’d) (ii) Defined contribution plan Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Company’s financial liabilities include other payables. Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. (k) Income recognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. Contribution from members are classified as equity. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at bank and deposits with licensed financial institutions which have an insignificant risk of changes in value. 56 Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. PINTAR FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2014 Proceeds from fund raising events are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the amount of the income can be measured reliably. (iii) Rendering of service (j) Employee benefits (i) Short term benefits Interest income is recognised on accrual basis using the effective interest method. (ii) Proceeds from fund raising events (i) Cash and cash equivalents Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the amount of the income can be reliably measured.

The Company actively manages these risks by maintaining good governance over the cash management of the government grants and operates within clearly defined guidelines that are approved by the Trustees. 14.Fair values The fair values of all financial assets and liability approximate the carrying amounts due to their relatively short term maturities.
