CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (CONT’D)
A MIXED ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
The global economy expanded at a moderate pace in 2014, posting
real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of 3.4%, the same level
registered in 2013. Economic divergence persisted with the developed
economies continuing to be the main pillar of growth. The US economy
grew 2.4% over the same period from the 2.2% growth recorded in the
previous year as its unemployment rate fell to 5.6%, the lowest level
since 2008. The Eurozone saw its GDP growing 0.8% after contracting
0.4% in 2013. Economic growth in the United Kingdom was also higher
at 2.9% compared to the 1.7% growth registered in the previous year.
However, there was still the lingering effect of the sovereign debt crisis
in the Eurozone, particularly in Greece, and this made the task quite
challenging for European policymakers. An uneven global growth path
was seen in the 0.1% GDP contraction in Japan despite steep policy easing
by the Bank of Japan (BoJ). Further to that, the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) reported that GDP among the emerging economies grew
at a slower rate of 4.6% in 2014 as compared to 5.0% in the previous
year. Economic growth in China decelerated further to 7.4% from 7.7%
previously as structural economic reforms continued to take place,
underscoring global economic divergence in the present cycle.
The significant correction in the price of oil is a concern within the
context of the Malaysian economy as the country is a net exporter of
crude oil, gas and petroleum products. The combined value of these
exports was RM163.1 billion in 2014, while government revenue from
this segment via petroleum tax, royalty and dividend income makes up
about RM63.0 billion or 24.5% of the total government revenue. Due
to the sharp correction in oil prices, the Government revised its budget
deficit-to-GDP estimate for 2015 upwards to 3.2% from its initial
estimate of 3.0% (with an oil price assumption of USD55.0 per barrel).
The revised estimate, however, was still more favourable than the 3.5%
deficit recorded in 2014.
Despite the negative development in global oil prices, the Malaysian
economy posted higher growth of 6.0% in 2014 (2013: 4.7%). This was
due to better-than-expected exports performance during the first half
of 2014 which cushioned the negative effect of the lower oil price to the
economy in general. Overseas shipments gained 8.3% in 1H2014 before
moderating in 2H2014 due to factors such as the economic slowdown
in Japan, China and the Eurozone, while lower commodity prices during
the second half of the year affected the value of exports. Additionally,
private consumption remained relatively robust with an annual growth
12
rate of 7.1% on the back of stable labour market conditions and this was
seen as a mitigating factor of the downside risk brought on by the decline
in global oil prices.
The end of Quantitative Easing (QE) in the US was followed by market
expectations of an interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. Such an
expectation triggered capital outflows from the emerging markets with
RM6.9 billion of foreign selling seen in the local stock market for the
whole of 2014. This also put downward pressure on emerging market
currencies and the ringgit was not spared as investors started to price
in USD-favourable interest rate differentials. Downward pressure on the
local currency raised concerns about additional costs among corporations
with forex exposure in their balance sheets. The challenging environment
also affected the primary equity capital market. There were only 14 new
listings on Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad in comparison to 18 listings
in 2013. These initial public offerings (IPOs) collectively raised funds
amounting to RM5.9 billion, down 28.0% from the RM8.2 billion raised
in 2013. Meanwhile, the FBM KLCI hit an all-time high of 1,892.65 points
on 8 July 2014 but moderated to close the year at 1,761.3 points, 5.7%
lower than the preceding year-end’s 1,866.96 points.
MODERATE INDUSTRY GROWTH
Global general insurance premiums registered 2.5% real growth in 2014,
lower than the 3.1% growth in 2013. In the advanced economies, premium
growth slowed to 1.7% from 1.9% in the previous year and the same
outcome was observed among the emerging economies where premium
growth slowed from 8.2% in 2013 to 5.5% in 2014. For the takaful
industry, global gross takaful contributions for both general and family are
estimated to have grown by 15.6% in 2014 as compared to 15.0% in 2013
with Saudi Arabia and Malaysia as the largest takaful markets.
In 2014, natural disasters globally caused economic losses amounting
to USD132.0 billion; however, this was some 37.0% below the
10-year average of USD211.0 billion. Furthermore, the year’s disasters
caused insurance losses of USD39.0 billion, which was 38.0% below
the 10-year average of USD63.0 billion. These losses were the lowest
insured total loss since 2009, translating into the second consecutive
year of below-normal catastrophe losses. Notable disasters during the
year included major flooding incidents in India, Pakistan, China, and
Southeast Europe; billion-dollar convective thunderstorm events in the
US, France and Germany; as well as winter storms in Japan and the US.
In Malaysia, we had the East Coast floods that affected the states of
Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang which caused widespread destruction
of property and belongings.
Developments in takaful are likely to accelerate in key domiciles such
as the key Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries as well as highly
populated Muslim countries, such as Indonesia and Pakistan, where
takaful is gaining popularity. In Pakistan, for example, recent changes
to regulations allow conventional insurers to establish takaful windows,
which should spur growth in the country’s nascent takaful market.
Meanwhile, the concept of takaful and Islamic finance continues to gain
interest and we should expect more new entrants mainly from African
and Asian countries.
In Malaysia, the general insurance industry sustained a robust growth
trend, registering gross written premiums of RM16.9 billion, an increase
of 6.1% from 2013. The growth pace recorded was about identical to
the country’s economic growth of 6.0% seen over the same period.
The motor insurance segment which makes up about 47.0% of total
gross written premiums in the industry grew at a lower rate of 5.6%
(2013: 8.7%). The non-motor segment on the other hand saw premiums
growing at 6.6% in 2014 compared to the 5.4% growth recorded in the
previous year. In the general takaful segment, gross contributions rose
13.3% in 2014 to RM2.2 billion with major business classes registering
double-digit growth.
Meanwhile, the life insurance industry recorded healthy growth in
2014 with premiums from new business growing 9.6% to RM8.9 billion.
Investment-linked products were the main drivers of growth recording
an 18.0% increase in 2014 to RM3.9 billion as compared to RM3.3 billion
in 2013. The family takaful industry on the other hand saw contributions
from new business declining 2.9% to RM3.5 billion in 2014.
STEADFAST GROUP PERFORMANCE
The difficult global economic backdrop coupled with a few large
claims, including the East Coast floods, created a challenging business
environment for insurance and takaful operators in the country. Despite
this difficult operating environment, the MNRB Group posted revenue
of RM2.4 billion in FY2015, equivalent to FY2014’s revenue. Gross
written premiums and contributions amounted to RM2.2 billion. The
Group garnered total investment income amounting to RM199.5 million,
a 14.5% or RM25.3 million increase over the RM174.2 million recorded
in FY2014.
The Group’s net profit for FY2015 was RM139.1 million, a reduction of
10.8% from RM156.0 million, translating into Earnings Per Share (EPS)
of 65.3 sen as compared to 73.2 sen previously. This performance was
achieved despite the provisions that the Group had made for a few large
claims that impacted its reinsurance, takaful and retakaful subsidiaries,
including claims related to the East Coast floods towards the end of 2014.

PERFORMANCE OF KEY OPERATING SUBSIDIARIES
Malaysian Reinsurance Berhad (Malaysian Re)
Over the course of the financial year, Malaysian Re’s total gross premiums
remained stable at RM1.3 billion. Approximately 59.0% of Malaysian
Re’s total business volume was from the domestic market as compared
to 62.0% in the previous year, whilst the remaining 41.0% was generated
from its overseas business in comparison to 38.0% recorded previously.
Malaysian Re continues to draw closer to achieving its target of having
equal contributions in terms of gross premiums for both its local and
overseas portfolios for the financial year ending 31 March 2017.
Malaysian Re registered a profit before tax of RM196.0 million as
compared to RM213.1 million in the preceding year, a reduction of 8.0%.
This commendable performance was registered despite the large losses
reported during the year such as the recent East Coast Floods, strikes
and riots in Vietnam, and a major shipping disaster in Korea. Investment
income grew by RM7.1 million or 8.2% to RM92.7 million in FY2015 from
RM85.6 million previously. Malaysian Re recorded an overall profit after
tax of RM152.1 million in comparison to RM160.7 million previously.
Takaful Ikhlas Berhad (Takaful IKHLAS)
In FY2015, Takaful IKHLAS’s gross contributions increased by 7.3%
from RM769.6 million to RM826.0 million. The Family Takaful business
accounted for 66.8% of total gross contributions and grew by 1.1%
over the previous year. The General Takaful business accounted for the
remaining 33.2% and grew by 22.7% over the previous year.
The shareholder’s fund registered a profit before tax and zakat of
RM27.8 million, a growth of 33.3% as compared to RM20.9 million in the
preceding year.
The shareholder's fund recorded a net profit after tax and zakat of
RM19.4 million, a growth of 20.1% as compared to the preceding
year’s RM16.1 million. The favourable variance was partly due to higher
wakalah fee income from higher gross contributions and higher surplus
administrative charges from the General Takaful business.
The ongoing transformation of the business is already showing positive
results and we are optimistic that the performance will continue to
improve in the coming years.
MRT registered a higher loss of RM17.7 million in FY2015 as compared to
a loss of RM1.2 million in FY2014 mostly due to lower gross contributions
arising from business portfolio consolidation and an increase in provision
for claim liabilities of the General Retakaful fund.
MAINTAINING OUR STRONG SHOWING
Over the course of the financial year, Malaysian Re had its ratings
reaffirmed by the rating agencies, which is apt testament to the quality
of the Company’s business and the strength of its capital.
Fitch Ratings reaffirmed Malaysian Re’s Insurer Financial Strength Rating
(IFS) of 'A' with a stable outlook. The rating takes into consideration
Malaysian Re's healthy financial fundamentals, as demonstrated by its
sustained premium growth, consistently healthy financial performance,
solid market franchise in Malaysia, and highly liquid profile of its
investment portfolio. At the same time, A.M Best also reaffirmed
Malaysian Re’s IFS rating of ‘A-’ with a stable outlook. The ratings
considered Malaysian Re’s strong operating performance and excellent
risk-adjusted capitalisation.
GOVERNANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
MNRB Retakaful Berhad (MRT)
MRT saw its gross contribution for FY2015 reduced by 45.5% from
RM117.2 million to RM63.9 million. The General Retakaful business
accounted for 44.1% of the total business while the remaining 55.9%
was generated from the Family Retakaful business.

The Board remains committed to upholding high standards of corporate
governance throughout the Group. We strive to continuously improve
the effective application of the principles and best practices as laid
down by the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance, the Corporate
Governance Guide as well as the Main Market Listing Requirement issued
by Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. MNRB’s policy is to implement
these principles and best practices as well as to uphold high standards
of business integrity in all activities undertaken by the Group. This shall
include a commitment to emulate good industry examples and to comply
with the respective guidelines and recommendations in the conduct of
the business activities of the Group.
The Board recognises that an effective risk management framework is
essential for the Group in our quest to achieve our corporate objectives,
especially with regard to our continued profitability and enhancement
of shareholder value in today’s rapidly changing market. Further details
of our Governance and Risk Management policies can be found in the
relevant sections of this Annual Report.
RESPONSIBLE CORPORATE PRACTICES
The Group continues to make good inroads by way of its corporate
responsibility (CR) efforts on the Workplace, Marketplace, Community
and Environment fronts. As a conscientious corporate citizen and a key
player in the reinsurance, takaful and retakaful sectors, we continue
to integrate responsible and sustainable practices into our total
business operations.
Our CR agenda sees us undertaking sustainable activities that focus on
education, knowledge and human capital development. This is helping to
ensure a continuous pool of talent in the Group and industry, as well as
the cultivation of dynamic insurance and takaful professionals. Through
these efforts, we are not only helping develop the local insurance and
takaful industry but are also contributing towards our nation’s growth.
In 2014, we continued to roll out the MNRB Scholarship Fund, which
aims to encourage and promote education in the fields of insurance and
takaful, actuarial science and risk management. Our community efforts
to date focus on equipping the younger generation to become leaders
of tomorrow through scholarship programmes, seminars, workshops,
study camps and sponsorships. All these initiatives are helping lay strong
foundations for the younger generation in order for them to attain
greater heights in the future.
Back in 2011, we created the Program Lestari Cemerlang MNRB, where
the MNRB Group adopted a school as part of our effort to enhance
the quality of education in rural areas. This programme, a two-year
partnership between the MNRB Group and its selected school, aims
to improve the academic achievements of students through extra
educational activities and the setting up of learning facilities. The
selected schools are typically secondary schools located in rural areas
and the programme has benefited 2,634 students to date.
As mentioned in last year’s Annual Report, on the professional front and
in line with our aim of strengthening the capabilities of the local industry,
Malaysian Re has developed a flood model for Malaysia which will allow
companies to perform data analytics and flood simulations. We have
called this model Re.Banjir. Companies that use the model will be able to
perform flood simulations, loss estimations and make informed decisions
on their business portfolio as well as their reinsurance programming. This
is the way we are contributing to the market and this shall benefit the
Malaysian insurance and takaful industry. The detail of these initiatives
and the Group’s other corporate responsibility efforts can be found in
the relevant section of this Annual Report.

NEW DEVELOPMENT – ESTABLISHMENT OF RETAKAFUL
DIVISION AT MALAYSIAN RE
On 22 April 2015, the Board of Directors of MNRB announced that
Malaysian Re had received approval from Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM)
to conduct general and family retakaful businesses under Section 10
of the Islamic Financial Services Act 2013 (IFSA) via the establishment
of a retakaful division. Malaysian Re plans to commence underwriting
its retakaful business once the operating license is granted by BNM.
Arising from this new development, MRT would focus on consolidating
and subsequently running-off its business until such time deemed
appropriate for it to surrender its operating license to BNM. Moving
forward, the retakaful business of the MNRB Group will be offered via
the Retakaful Division at Malaysian Re.
The establishment of Retakaful division would enable the business
to utilize the higher IFS ratings of ‘A’ (Fitch) and ‘A-’ (A.M. Best) from
Malaysian Re to gain access to business which otherwise would not have
been accessible due to the lower rating of ‘BBB+’ (Fitch) given to MRT in
the past. In addition, the growth in Retakaful business volume has not
been in tandem with the corresponding double digit growth in Takaful
business due to the nature of the Takaful portfolio which demands much
less Retakaful cover as compared to conventional reinsurance. Hence,
the lack of Retakaful volume makes having a full-fledged stand-alone
Retakaful operation difficult to sustain in the longer term. Despite the
lack of Retakaful volume currently, we do see the future potential of
the business albeit at a slower pace and we are in full support of the
Government’s efforts to make Malaysia as an International Islamic
Finance Marketplace.
This division shall leverage on the proven technical expertise, IT systems
and operations whereby combined resources would immediately provide
better economies of scale. It also creates more efficient, consistent
and cost-effective approach to the business. In terms of geographical
diversification strategy, Retakaful business will be able to reach into the
Middle East and North African (MENA) region through our subsidiary
Malaysian Re (Dubai) Ltd (MRDL) in Dubai.
Changes are also taking place in other jurisdictions. In China, the soon
to be introduced China Risk Oriented Solvency System (C-ROSS) aims
to link capital requirements closely to underwritten risks and promote
sound risk management practices across the industry. We have seen
a move to shift placements with onshore reinsurers or international
reinsurers with better ratings. Local insurer and reinsurers also have
started to ask offshore reinsurers to provide collateral for reinsurance
assets as this measure is also part of the C-ROSS regime. Regulatory
changes are also taking place in Indonesia where the regulator aims at
optimising reinsurance capacity within the country. This new regulation
will increase local retentions considerably from 10% to a minimum of
25% for all lines of business and would translate into lower market share
for international and offshore reinsurers. These developments require
Malaysian Re to re-strategise its approach into these markets.
Under the Financial Services Act 2013 (FSA), MNRB Holdings Berhad
(MNRB) has been designated as a Financial Holding Company (FHC)
with effect from 1 July 2015. Section 115 of the FSA provides for BNM
to specify standards on prudential matters to MNRB and its subsidiaries,
which include but not limited to capital adequacy, liquidity and corporate
governance while Section 116 of FSA provides BNM the power to issue
written directions to MNRB and its subsidiaries in relation to the Group’s
business affairs.
The effect of the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST)
effective 1 April 2015 on the Insurance and Takaful industry is expected
to be manageable although the impact on product pricing has not yet
been seen. Life and Family products, with the exception of riders, are
exempted from GST. The Group has put in place proper infrastructure
and processes to handle GST compliance.
While the aforementioned key developments will pose challenges to
the MNRB Group, we have taken the necessary steps to ensure that we
are able to meet these challenges and at the same time meet regulatory
compliance. We will endeavour to be conscious of market developments
and be able to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise.
SHAREHOLDER VALUE CREATION
A CHALLENGING BUSINESS LANDSCAPE
Both fire and motor classes are currently governed by tariffs and plans
to gradually abolish the tariffs are expected to take place on a staggered
basis in 2016. Customers would then be charged premium/contribution
rates reflective of the risks. Insurers and Takaful operators are gearing
towards this market liberalisation and this is a move towards risk-based
pricing. Abolition of the tariff would also encourage more product
innovation and price differentiation, giving customers more choice
offerings based on price and risk factors. To this end, Takaful IKHLAS is
gearing itself towards its readiness to meet these challenges.
16
We have consistently maintained that capital preservation is a priority
for the MNRB Group and we continue to propagate the importance of
maintaining that principle. The need to further strengthen the capital
position of the Group is more significant now as MNRB carries the role
and responsibilities of a financial holding company which means MNRB
has to maintain a certain level of capital adequacy and liquidity.
Strengthening the capital position is part of the Group's strategy in
facing the challenging operating environment and dynamic regulatory
landscape ahead. Furthermore, increasing industry competitiveness
globally have seen more mergers and acquisitions taking place, resulting
in players with stronger capital base, larger international network and
wider expertise. As such, it is crucial to strengthen the capital so that
we can continue to support our subsidiaries to stay competitive in the
industry and hence sustaining the Group’s presence.
looking at an acceleration of growth to 3.8% the year after. The downside
risk to global growth is seen coming from China with the People’s Bank
of China surprising the market with a few unexpected monetary policy
easing to boost the economy.
Against this backdrop, the Board is not recommending the payment of
any dividend in respect of FY2015. Nevertheless, the Board remains
committed to provide better returns to your dedicated investment in the
forthcoming years.
On the domestic front, the Malaysian economy is anticipated to grow
between 4.5% and 5.0% with a central tendency forecast of 4.7%
in 2015, well within the Government’s GDP forecast of 4.5%–5.5%.
While domestic demand is key to anchoring the economy in this
challenging environment, household spending is likely to be affected
by the implementation of GST that came into effect on 1 April 2015.
The weakening of the local currency may provide a boost to Malaysia
export’s competitiveness but this view should also be balanced by
external developments given that economic forecasts across major
trading partners are not identical. With regard to the 11th Malaysia Plan,
the Government has highlighted that it remains committed to fiscal
consolidation and the budget deficit is expected to narrow to 0.6%
of GDP by the year 2020 which should be positive for the Malaysian
economy in the long-run. The downside risk to the ringgit remains as the
current account surplus is likely to narrow and the likelihood of policy
normalisation in the US would narrow any positive influence the ringgit
may have. The inflationary effect from GST implementation should be
partly offset by lower energy prices and BNM is forecasting headline
inflation to be in the 2.0%–3.0% range in 2015 (2014: 3.1%).
Looking back five years ago when the risk-based capital (RBC) framework
was first adopted, MNRB had taken a similar decision in favour of capital
preservation for our subsidiary, Malaysian Re. Now, the Board is pleased
to note that the decision has paid off as Malaysian Re has grown stronger
in terms of its capital base. The Board believes that MNRB is now at a
similar juncture and that the same prudent approach should be taken for
the Group’s corporate sustainability and until there is further clarity on
the operating environment.
LOOKING AHEAD
Divergence in growth should continue to be the case for the world’s
economies with the US economy expected to play a crucial role in
supporting global growth. The International Monetary Fund in July 2015
cut its 2015 global GDP forecast from 3.5% to 3.3% and the fund is
17
Although insurers in Asia-Pacific are likely to face deteriorating
economic conditions in 2015, growth prospects remain firm for life and
general insurance products. Rising real estate and financial asset values
are enabling insurers throughout the region to produce higher premium
volume from increased protection levels. Prospects for commercial lines
insurance remain strong, given the region’s elevated catastrophe risk,
the rise in infrastructure and home building across much of Asia-Pacific,
as well as a low insurance penetration rate. This should have a positive
impact on Malaysian Re as its overseas business averaged approximately
40% of its total revenue over the last two years. Nonetheless, the
volatile foreign exchange rate in the current environment is a risk factor
to Malaysian Re’s overseas operations.
Despite the slower GDP growth forecast, prospects for Malaysia’s
insurance and takaful sectors are expected to remain stable in 2015 even
as regulatory changes and market liberalisation set in. Ongoing premium
expansion, sound capital buffers and stable underwriting margins
will continue to support the risk profiles of most insurers and takaful
operators. The growth potential of the takaful segment is likely to remain
despite new regulations, supported by a growing range of products and
wider distribution coverage. Against this backdrop, Takaful IKHLAS shall
position itself to capitalise on any business opportunities.
Moving forward, the Board of Directors remains positive of the Group’s
prospects for the financial year and recognises the challenging operating
landscape that lies ahead.

In addition, 47 of our Middle Management
completed the High Impact Group Leadership
(HIGH) programme in early 2014, designed
primarily to enhance personal and team
effectiveness.
For the past year, the MNRB Group had embarked
on Career Ladder. Its main purpose is to provide
a structured career and personal development
whilst climbing up one’s career ladder.
A skills competency matrix was developed for
each identified Job Family within the Group.
Varying degree of competencies for four job
levels consisting of Individual Contributor,
Functional Expert, Organisation Expert and
Industry Expert were mapped out depending on
their respective competency matrix. Individuals
The front-line managers’ programme also known
as Future Leader in You (FLY) was launched
in November 2014 and will develop over 60
potential future leaders throughout 2015. Both
programmes aim to enhance self-awareness and
confidence around one’s personal capabilities
and preferences in becoming a successful leader.
In continuation from the LEaP and HIGH
programs, leaders are being selected and sent to
relevant Leadership Development Programmes
conducted by top executive-education providers.
This type of learnings addresses specific
leadership competencies and will expose them
to best practices as well as provide them with
networking opportunities by accessing other
global leaders.
37
were then assessed according to their job family
and current professional level to determine their
competency gaps. Given these information,
Management and the individuals are able to
ascertain the development requirements.
The Career Ladder is still in its development
stage and has vast potential to enhance the
professional development of our employees in
a structured manner. It provides our employees
with the opportunity to be responsible and
take accountability of their development and
subsequently their professional career.
The Education Assistance Programme (EAP),
is a testament to the Group’s commitment
to strengthen our employees and to create
a continuous learning culture. This is also in
line with our aspirations in becoming a high
performing organization.
For Takaful IKHLAS’ agents, a variety of training
programmes continue to be rolled out to ensure
that our agents are of a high calibre, continue to
conduct themselves in a professional manner,
and have the necessary knowledge to serve our
customers effectively.
In addition, Takaful IKHLAS also implemented
a series of Shariah Compliance Activities (SCA)
comprising Shariah training and awareness
programmes for its agents and employees,
shariah research, risk management and audits.
An in-house training programme on Family
Takaful/Retakaful was organised by MNRB
in collaboration with our External Auditors.
38
Held in January 2015, the objective of the
programme was for the employees to have
better understanding of Family Takaful/
Retakaful business and increase their expertise,
particularly those handling Family Takaful/
Retakaful operations.
MNRB also observes mutual respect and
maintains a cordial relationship with the
National Union of Commercial Workers
to foster good employee relations in the
organisation. Such good rapport has allowed
relevant issues to be resolved amicably.
In addition to the above mentioned, MNRB,
in its efforts to gain the strength of its diverse
workforce, has also undertaken the following
initiatives:-
Employee Safety and Health Initiatives
•
Provides fair and equitable employment
terms regardless of gender, ethnicity or age;
•
Gives equal opportunities for career
advancement based on merit. This
is supported by a well-developed
performance appraisal system which is
link to rewards; and
•
Awarding representation of women in
management and senior management
positions.
We continue to implement a host of initiatives
throughout the length and breadth of the
organisation to keep our employees safe and
healthy and ensure they live a balanced lifestyle.
MNRB’s annual educational programme on
heart disease prevention, the Healthy Heart
Awareness Campaign, is a tie-up with the
Heart Foundation of Malaysia. This campaign
emphasises on the importance of preserving a
work-life balance and educates the employees
on all aspects of health especially pertaining
to the heart disease. This campaign comprises
of free health screening packages, health talks
and a bone health check to measure employees’
calcium intake and bone health.

ELEVATING THE MARKETPLACE
We are conscious of the responsibility we have
as a leading player in the reinsurance/takaful/
retakaful industries via our subsidiaries and
are committed to instilling a higher degree of
professionalism in the marketplace by helping
develop more industry professionals.
(13487-A)
At the same time, we are focused on enriching
the knowledge of underwriters to mitigate
exposure of their portfolios by according them
a flood risk analysis tool.
The Malaysian Flood Model (Re.Banjir)
Flooding is one of the most significant natural
perils in Malaysia in terms of frequency
and severity. Malaysian Re is committed to
developing a Malaysian flood risk analysis
tool, named Re.Banjir, for use by members of
Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia (PIAM) and
the Malaysian Takaful Association (MTA).
Re.Banjir is based on a software developed
using the most detailed data and methodology
available. It includes rainfall and river gauge
data spanning many years. This data had been
processed and developed using state-of-the-art
hydrological solutions and programming tools.
Re.Banjir is able to simulate a range of potential
insurance losses from mild local flooding to floods
in excess of the 1-in-250-years return period.
Re.Banjir would allow Malaysian insurance and
takaful companies to estimate flood exposure
of their own portfolios. In addition, it would
also allow them to better understand the
effects of flooding on their portfolios, derive
the Probable Maximum Loss (PML) to their
portfolios for different return periods, quantify
the financial implications and enable them to
make informed decisions in relation to their
reinsurance programming.
Stage 1 of the Flood Model, which covers the
Klang Valley, was launched on 23 September
2013. Stage 2 of the Flood Model will cover
the whole of Peninsular Malaysia, while Stage 3
will cover Sabah & Sarawak. Stage 2, which was
initially expected to be completed in 2014, will
be launched in 2015 and the necessary work
for Stage 3 is expected to commence soon.
Market Training Programmes
Over the years, Malaysian Re and MRT have
implemented various training programmes on
insurance/reinsurance and takaful/retakaful for
staff of insurance/takaful companies to enhance
their professionalism within the industry. These
programmes serve as platforms for participants
to exchange ideas and update themselves with
the latest industry developments.
Malaysian Re annually conducts Technical
Courses in Fire Risk Assessment and Special/
Self Rating for underwriting and marketing
staff of insurance companies. At the end of
the training, these staff would be expected
to conduct risk surveys and determine fire
premium rates for certain types of risks.
In September 2014, the 2014 Programme for
Insurance Executive Development (PIED),
was organised for Malaysian Re’s domestic
and international clients in Kuala Lumpur. The
21st PIED covered four classes of insurance,
namely Fire, Marine Hull & Cargo, Engineering
and Liability. The programme was designed
for executives with at least two years’ working
experience in the insurance industry and who
were well versed with theoretical knowledge
of insurance in these four classes of insurance.
The programme adopted a highly interactive
approach, including illustrated case studies,
to enable the participants to appreciate the
practical application of what they have learnt.
In March 2015, the annual Cedants’ Seminar
was held by Malaysian Re in Ho Chi Minh City,
Vietnam. This seminar was specially tailored
to provide a technical and interactive session
for senior reinsurance officers in the insurance
industry to understand better the aspects
of “Run-off Management” and “Finance for
Reinsurance Underwriters.”

ENRICHING COMMUNITIES
We believe in enriching the communities
around us to elevate lives and ensure a better
future for all. As such, our community efforts
focussed on equipping the younger generation
to become leaders of tomorrow through

are helping lay solid foundations for the
younger generation in order for them to attain
greater heights in the future.
MNRB Scholarship Programme
The MNRB Scholarship Programme is an
initiative to encourage and promote education
in the fields of Insurance/Takaful, Actuarial
Science and Risk Management. It also serves to
increase the pool of qualified and well-trained
professionals in the Malaysian insurance and
takaful industries.
The MNRB Scholarship Fund (the Fund) was
established in 1998 with an initial start-up fund
of RM1 million. Since its commencement, the
Fund has awarded a total of 389 scholarships
to deserving Malaysians to further their
undergraduate studies in both public and
private institutions of higher learning.
42
Since 2007, as part of our efforts and
commitment to develop young talent within
the insurance/takaful industry, MNRB via the
Fund had been collaborating with the Malaysian
Insurance Institute or MII to extend its
scholarship programme to working adults
within the insurance and takaful industries.
These scholarships are offered to staff of
insurance and takaful companies who are keen
to pursue professional insurance qualifications,
such as the Associateship of the MII (AMII) and
Diploma of the MII (DMII), on part-time basis.
Since the onset of our partnership with MII,
MNRB has offered a total of 191 scholarships.
The knowledge that our scholarships are helping
to produce more competent and qualified
professionals in the Malaysian insurance and
takaful industries shows our emphasis on
education and human capital development. It
reflects our unwavering commitment towards
the continuous growth of not only our people,
but also all those within the industry.

STATEMENT ON
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
•
The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 (“the Code” or “MCCG 2012”); and
•
Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad’s Main Market Listing Requirements (“Listing Requirements”).
MNRB’s policy is to implement these principles and best practices and to uphold high standards of business integrity in all activities undertaken by
the Group. This shall include a commitment to emulate good industry examples and to comply with guidelines and recommendations in the conduct
of business activities within the Group.
Set out below is a statement on how MNRB has applied the principles and complied with the Best Practices as prescribed under the MCCG 2012 and
the Listing Requirements during the financial year ended 31 March 2015.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
BOARD COMPOSITION
The Board of MNRB is responsible for the proper stewardship of the
Group’s resources, the achievement of the Group’s objectives and good
corporate citizenship. It discharges this responsibility by complying with
all the relevant Acts and Regulations, including adopting the principles
and best practices of the MCCG 2012 and the Listing Requirements.
The Board comprises members with relevant expertise and experience
drawn from business, financial and technical fronts which strengthened
leadership and management.
The Board retains full and effective control over the Group’s affairs. This
includes the responsibility to determine the Group’s development and
overall strategic direction. Key matters such as the approval of quarterly
and annual results, major acquisitions and disposals, major capital
expenditures, budgets, business plans and succession planning for top
management, are reserved for the Board or its appointed committees
to deal with.
The meetings of the Board are chaired by the Non-Executive Chairman,
whose role is clearly separated from the role of the President & Group
Chief Executive Officer (“GCEO”), who ensures that Board policies and
decisions are implemented accordingly.
The Board currently comprises eight (8) members of whom seven
(7) members are Non-Executive Directors, including the Chairman.
Three (3) of these members are Independent Non-Executive Directors,
four (4) are Non-Independent Non-Executive Directors and one (1) is a
Non-Independent Executive Director (the GCEO).
As at the date of this report, the percentage of the Board composition
is as follows:Executive Director
(Also the GCEO)
1 out of 8
12.5%
Independent Non-Executive Directors
3 out of 8
37.5%
Non-Independent Non-Executive Directors
(including the Chairman)
4 out of 8
50%
By virtue of this composition, the Company is in compliance with
Paragraph 15.02 of the Listing Requirements which requires at least
two (2) directors or one-third (1/3) of the Board, whichever is the higher,
to be independent.
48
STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (CONT’D)
The Board takes cognizance of the recommendation to ensure that the
majority of its Directors are Independent Directors as well as to have
diversity in terms of gender, ethnicity and age in the Board.
The Board is committed to fulfilling the above but it faces constraints in
terms of the number of members that are to be on the Board. Under the
Company’s Articles of Association, the number of Directors shall not be
more than ten (10) and the Board currently comprises eight (8) Directors.
Notwithstanding this, the Board is making efforts to identify suitable
candidates who can assist in fulfilling the above recommendations.
The Board, following the resignation of Datuk Mohd Khalil Dato’ Mohd
Noor, Non-Independent Non-Executive Director, had appointed a lady
member on 1 June 2015 i.e. Hijah Arifakh Othman. This reflects the
Board's effort to observe the recommendations on diversity.
The Directors bring to the Board, a wide range of knowledge and
experience in relevant fields such as insurance and reinsurance,
accounting and finance, legal, economic, investment, international
business, banking and business operations. Therefore, all Directors have
the necessary depth to bring experience and judgment to bear on issues
of strategy, performance, resources and ethical standards. The Board
is of the opinion that its current composition and size constitute an
effective Board for the Company.
In accordance with the Listing Requirement, none of the members of the
Board holds more than five (5) directorships in listed companies.
The profiles of the Directors are provided on pages 22 to 25 of this
Annual Report.
BOARD CHARTER
The Board had formalised a Board Charter setting out the duties,
responsibilities and functions of the Board in accordance with the
principles of good corporate governance set by the regulatory
authorities. This Board Charter, if necessary, will be periodically
reviewed, to incorporate updates and enhancements to the existing
rules and regulations as and when necessary. The Board Charter is
available on the Company’s website at www.mnrb.com.my.
DIRECTORS’ CODE OF ETHICS
The Directors observe a code of ethics in accordance with the code of
conduct expected of Directors of a holding company of financial service
providers.
The Chairman is primarily responsible for the effective conduct and
workings of the Board. The Chairman leads the Board in the oversight
of the Management and in setting strategic business plans, goal and key
policies for the Group to ensure the sustainability of long-term returns.
STRATEGIES PROMOTING SUSTAINABILITY
The Board is committed to implementing responsible and sustainable
corporate practices. MNRB, as a conscientious corporate citizen,
has embraced good corporate responsibility practices in the areas of
stakeholder engagement, the community, workplace, marketplace
and environment. Every business decision the Group makes
pertaining to growth and profitability is consistent with its social and
environmental goals for sustainability. The corporate responsibility
initiatives undertaken by MNRB for the financial year ended
31 March 2015 are disclosed in the Sustainability Report of this Annual
Report. A summary of the Corporate Responsibility Activities is also
available on the Company’s website at www.mnrb.com.my.
DIRECTORS’ INDEPENDENCE AND INDEPENDENT
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
The Independent Directors play a pivotal role in corporate
accountability and provide unbiased and independent views and
judgement in relation to the Board’s deliberation and decision-making
process. This is reflected in their membership of the various Board
Committees and attendance at meetings.
All the Independent Directors have demonstrated to the Board that
they have exercised impartial and independent judgment, protecting the
interests of the Group and the minority shareholders.
The Non-Executive Directors do not participate in the day-to-day
management of the Company and do not engage in any business dealing
or other relationships with the Company (other than in situations
permitted by the applicable regulations) in order that they remain truly
capable of exercising independent judgment and act in the best interests
of the Group and its shareholders. The Board is also satisfied that no
individual or group of individuals dominate the decision-making process
of the Board to ensure a balanced and objective consideration of issues,
thereby facilitating optimal decision-making.
49
DIRECTORS’ INDEPENDENCE POLICY
APPOINTMENTS TO THE BOARD
The Board has adopted a nine (9) years with maximum of twelve (12)
years policy for the tenure of Independent Non-Executive Directors,
which is implemented to ensure the continuous effective functioning
of the Board. Due to the nature of the Group’s businesses that are
considered specialised, the Board is of the view that the maximum
of twelve (12) years is reasonable considering there are significant
advantages to be gained from long-serving Directors who already
possess tremendous insight and knowledge of the Group’s/Company’s
business affairs.
The appointment of new Board members are considered and properly
evaluated by the Nomination Committee. Upon completing this process,
the Committee shall recommend the proposed appointment to the Board
for its deliberation and approval. In making these recommendations, the
Nomination Committee assesses the suitability of candidates, taking into
account the required mix of skills, knowledge, expertise and experience, as
well as professionalism, integrity including financial integrity, competencies
and other qualities, before recommending them to the Board for appointment.
The Board feels that the length of their service on the Board does not
in any way interfere with their exercise of independent judgment and
ability to act in the best interests of the Company.
In assessing independence, the Board evaluates the following criteria:•
The ability to challenge the assumptions, beliefs or viewpoints
of others with intelligent questioning, constructive and rigorous
debating, and dispassionate decision for the good of MNRB;
•
A willingness to stand-up and defend their own views, beliefs and
opinions for the ultimate good of MNRB; and
•
An understanding of MNRB’s business activities in order to
appropriately provide responses on the various strategic and
technical issues brought before the Board.
The Board considers that both Yusoff Yaacob and Megat Dziauddin
Megat Mahmud who had served as Independent Directors for more
than nine (9) years still meet the abovementioned criteria and that
their long tenure do not affect their assessment and responsibilities as
Independent Directors.
The Nomination Committee and Board will devote sufficient time to
review, deliberate and finalise the selection of Directors. In this aspect, the
Company Secretary will ensure that all the necessary information is obtained
and relevant legal and regulatory requirements are complied with. In this
aspect, the Board is also guided by the Group’s Fit and Proper Policy for Key
Responsible Persons.
The Nomination Committee conducts a yearly assessment on the suitability of
the present Directors under the abovementioned Fit and Proper Policy for Key
Responsible Persons. The fit and proper assessment for the Directors includes
self-declaration and vetting by the Company for the purpose of ensuring
that they are suitable to continue serving as Directors of the Company.
The following aspects would be considered by the Board in appointing/
reappointing Directors:•
Probity, personal integrity and reputation – the person must have key
qualities such as honesty, independence of mind, integrity, diligence
and fairness.
•
Competence and capability – the person must have the necessary skills,
ability and commitment to carry out the role.
•
Financial integrity – the person must manage their debts and financial
affairs prudently.
SENIOR INDEPENDENT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
RE-APPOINTMENT AND RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
In accordance with the best practices in corporate governance,
Megat Dziauddin Megat Mahmud continues to be the Senior Independent
Non-Executive Director of the Board to whom the concerns of shareholders
and stakeholders may be conveyed. Megat Dziauddin Megat Mahmud is
also the Chairman of the Audit Committee as well as the Remuneration
Committee.
He can be contacted at his email address at megatdz@yahoo.com.my.

In accordance with Article 86 the Company’s Articles of Association,
one-third (1/3) of the Directors for the time being, or if their number
is not a multiple of three (3), then the number nearest to one-third
(1/3), shall retire from office at each Annual General Meeting (AGM).
All retiring Directors can offer themselves for re-election.
Directors who are appointed by the Board during the financial period
before the AGM are also required to retire from office and seek re-election
by the shareholders at the first opportunity after their appointment.
The Articles further provide that all Directors shall retire from office at
least once every three (3) years but shall be eligible for re-election.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CHAIRMAN
AND GCEO
Pursuant to Section 129 of the Companies Act, 1965, the office of a
Director of over the age of seventy (70) years becomes vacant at every
AGM unless he is re-appointed by a resolution passed at such an AGM of
which no shorter notice than that required for the AGM has been given,
and the majority by which such resolution is passed is not less than
three-fourths (3/4) of all members present and voting at such an AGM.
The roles and responsibilities of the Chairman and the GCEO are separated
with a clear division of responsibilities as defined in the Board Charter.
At the 42nd AGM, two (2) Directors are due for re-election pursuant
to Article 86 and one (1) Director is due for re-election pursuant to
Article 92 of the Articles of Association. Two (2) Directors are due to
retire pursuant to Section 129 of the Companies Act, 1965. However,
one of them i.e. Dato’ Syed Ariff Fadzillah Syed Awalluddin, has
expressed his intention not to seek re-election.
This distinction is to provide better understanding and distribution of
jurisdictional responsibilities and accountabilities.
The Chairman leads the Board and is also responsible for its performance.
Together with the rest of the Board members, the Chairman sets the policy
framework and strategies to align the business activities driven by the
Senior Management Team with the Group’s vision and mission.
BOARD AND INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORS’ EFFECTIVENESS
The GCEO is mainly accountable for the day-to-day management to
ensure the smooth and effective running of the Group. He is also
responsible for the implementation of policies and Board decisions as
well as coordinating the development and implementation of business
corporate strategies.
The Board members undertake a formal and transparent process, upon
completion of every financial year, to assess the effectiveness of their
fellow directors, the Board as a whole and the performance of the
Executive Director.
The GCEO also ensures that the financial management practice is at
the highest level of integrity and transparency for the benefit of the
shareholders and the affairs of the Company be performed in an ethical
manner.
The Board and Individual Directors Evaluation is based on answers
to a detailed questionnaire. The evaluation form is distributed to all
Board members and covers topics which include, among others, the
responsibilities of the Board in relation to strategic plan, fiscal oversight,
risk management, Board composition and training needs.
Other areas which are assessed include the contribution of each and every
member of the Directors at meetings as well as meeting arrangements.
The Nomination Committee, having deliberated the findings of the
Board and Individual Directors Evaluation, will report to the Board the
results and highlight those matters that require further discussion and
direction by the Board.
The Board members’ directorship in companies other than the
Company and the Group, are well within the restriction of not more
than five (5) directorships in public listed companies as stated in the
Listing Requirements.
BOARD MEETINGS
The Board meeting dates for the ensuing financial year are scheduled in
advance before the end of the current financial year so that the Directors
are able to plan ahead and schedule these dates into their respective
meeting schedules.
The Board has scheduled meetings at least six (6) times a year, besides
the AGM. For the financial year ended 31 March 2015, the Board held
ten (10) meetings.

STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT
AND INTERNAL CONTROL
RESPONSIBILITY
RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE
To further complement the enterprise risk management framework
of the Group, dedicated Management Committees known as
the Operational Risk Management Committee (“ORMC”) at the
operational level were also established to assist the RMCBs in
implementing the risk management framework and ensuring
inculcation of a proactive risk management culture on an
enterprise-wide basis. A Risk Management & Compliance Division
was formed to provide the infrastructure and carry out the risk
management process.
•
The Audit Committee (“AC”) complements the role of the Board
by providing an independent assessment of the adequacy and
reliability of the risk management process, and compliance with
the risk policies and regulatory guidelines. The AC is assisted by an
independent Internal Audit Department in performing its role.
•
The Group Chief Risk Management and Compliance Officer
(“GCRMCO”) oversees the risk governance across the Group. The
risk governance structure is aligned across the subsidiaries of the
Group through the adoption of the Enterprise Risk Management
Framework and structures in order to embed and enhance the risk
management & compliance culture.
•
The Group adopts the three lines of Defence model: Operating
Units, Management Oversight and Independent Assurance. Within
each entity, Heads of Divisions/Departments are responsible
for managing risks and system of internal controls within their
respective functions on day-to-day basis, as well as escalating
significant potential risks to the respective ORMC via the risk
management function. The risk management and compliance
function assumes overall responsibility for the implementation of the
Risk Management Framework and its continued application in the
respective entities. Internal Audit provides the AC with reasonable
independent assurance on the effectiveness and efficiency of the
Framework as part of Group’s system of internal controls.
The key features that the Board has established in reviewing the
adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management and internal control
system include the following:Enterprise Risk Management Framework
•
The Board of MNRB believes that an effective enterprise risk
management framework and strong internal control system is
essential to the Group in its quest to achieve its corporate objectives,
especially on the continued profitability and enhancement of
shareholders’ value in today’s rapidly changing market environment.
•
With this in mind, the Board had established dedicated Board
Committees known as the Risk Management Committee of the
Board (“RMCB”) at the holding company and each of its subsidiary
companies to oversee the implementation of an enterprise-wide risk
management framework in each company. As part of risk governance
process, Chairman of the respective RMCBs had provided their
confirmation to the Chairman of MNRB that the necessary risk
management framework had been put in place and it is operating
effectively to manage the risks of the company for the whole of the
financial year ended 31 March, 2015.
•
The Board acknowledges that it is responsible to oversee the
implementation of the Group’s risk management and internal control
system and for reviewing its effectiveness, adequacy and integrity.
It recognises that risk management is a continuous process, designed to
manage the risk of failure to achieve the Group’s business objectives.
In pursuing these objectives, internal control system can only provide
reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement
or loss.
The Board has established a robust process for identifying, evaluating
and managing the significant risks faced by the Group (Enterprise
Risk Management Framework). These processes have been in place
for the whole of the financial year ended 31 March, 2015 and have
continued up to the date on which this Statement was approved. The

Review of the Statement by External Auditors
The external auditors have reviewed this Statement on Risk Management
and Internal Control for inclusion in the annual report for the financial
year ended 31 March 2015.
The external auditors conducted the review in accordance with the
“Recommended Practice Guide 5 (Revised): Guidance for Auditors on
Engagements to Report on the Statement on Risk Management and
Internal Control included in the Annual Report” (“RPG 5 (Revised)”)
issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants. The review has been
conducted to assess whether the Statement on Risk Management and
Internal Control is both supported by the documentation prepared by or
for the Directors and appropriately reflects the processes the Directors
had adopted in reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the system of
internal controls of the Group.
RPG 5 (Revised) does not require the external auditors to consider
whether the Directors’ Statement on Risk Management and Internal
Control covers all risks and controls, or to form an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Group’s risk and control procedures. RPG 5 (Revised)
also does not require the external auditors to consider whether the
processes described to deal with material internal control aspects of any
significant matters disclosed in the annual report will, in fact, mitigate
the risks identified or remedy the potential problems.
Based on their review, the external auditors have reported to the Board
that nothing had come to their attention that causes them to believe that
the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control is inconsistent
with their understanding of the processes the Board has adopted in
the review of the adequacy and integrity of the risk management and
internal control of the Group.

web-based system (CABFAC) for the administration and settlement of facultative reinsurance between CAB members i.e. insurers and
reinsurers operating in Malaysia. The elimination of reconciliation problems and the efficient settlement of balances and claims recovery
between members were the main drivers for the formation of CAB. The cost of development and operations of the system were then, and
still are, being jointly funded by its members. Following the success of the CABFAC system, the members of Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia
(PIAM), in 2009 conceptualised the idea of developing a centralised coinsurance system (CABCO) which would function on the same operating

of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

notes to the
financial statements
– 31 March 2015
1.Corporate information
The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia
Securities Berhad. The registered office of the Company is located at 12th Floor, Bangunan Malaysian Re, No. 17, Lorong Dungun, Damansara
Heights, 50490 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The Company is an investment holding company, principally engaged in the provision of management services to its subsidiaries.
The principal activities of the subsidiaries have been disclosed in Note 17 to the financial statements. There have been no significant changes in the
nature of the principal activities of the Group and of the Company during the financial year.
The number of employees in the Group and in the Company at the end of the financial year were 893 and 193 (2014: 862 and 196) respectively.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 31 July 2015.
2.Significant accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards
(“MFRSs”), International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated
in the accounting policies. The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand
(RM’000) except when otherwise indicated.
2.2Accounting period
For the general reinsurance business, the Group adopts quarterly accounting periods ending on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and
31 December, insofar as the underwriting income and outgo for Market Cessions business is concerned. This is to correspond with the ceding
companies’ accounting periods.
Underwriting income and outgo in respect of other business classes and all other income and expenditure are for the 12 months ended
31 March 2015.
2.3Subsidiaries, associates and basis of consolidation
(i)Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has all the following:
(a) power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
(b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its investment with the investee; and
(c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
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.
125
notes to the financial statements (CONT’D)
– 31 March 2015
2.Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
2.3Subsidiaries, associates and basis of consolidation (cont’d)
(i)Subsidiaries (cont’d)
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and when 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 vote holders of the investee;
(b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
(c) the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in the income
statement.
(ii)
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the reporting date.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same
reporting date as the Company.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be
consolidated until the date that such control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, intragroup balances,
transactions and unrealised gains or losses resulting from intragroup transactions are eliminated in full. Uniform accounting policies
are adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition method. The acquisition method of accounting involves allocating
the cost of the acquisition to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of
acquisition. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of the assets given,
liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued, plus any costs directly attributable to the acquisition.
Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities represents goodwill. Any excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in the income statement.
(iii)Takaful and retakaful operations and funds
Under the concept of takaful/retakaful, individuals/cedants make contributions to a pool which is managed by a third party with the
overall aim of using the monies to aid fellow participants in times of need. Accordingly, the takaful and retakaful subsidiaries of the
Company manage the general and family takaful and retakaful funds in line with the principles of Wakalah (agency), which is the
main business model used by the takaful and retakaful subsidiaries. Under the Wakalah model, the takaful/retakaful operator is not a
participant in the fund but manages the funds (including the relevant assets and liabilities) towards the purpose outlined above.
In accordance with the IFSA 2013 and, previously, the Takaful Act 1984, the assets and liabilities of the takaful funds are segregated
from those of the takaful operator: a concept known as segregation of funds. However, in compliance with MFRS 10 Consolidated
Financial Statements, the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the takaful and retakaful funds are consolidated with those of the
takaful and retakaful subsidiaries to represent the control possessed by the takaful/retakaful operator over the respective funds.
126
– 31 March 2015
2.3Subsidiaries, associates and basis of consolidation (cont’d)
(iii)Takaful and retakaful operations and funds (cont’d)
In preparing the Group financial statements, the balances and transactions of the shareholders’ funds of the takaful and retakaful
subsidiaries were amalgamated and combined with those of the takaful and retakaful funds respectively. Interfund balances, transactions
and unrealised gains or losses are eliminated in full during amalgamation and consolidation.
The takaful and retakaful funds of the takaful and retakaful subsidiaries are consolidated and amalgamated from the date of control and
continue to be consolidated until the date such control ceases which will occur when the takaful and retakaful subsidiaries’ licences to
manage takaful and retakaful businesses respectively are withdrawn or surrendered.
(iv)Associates
Associates are entities in which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.
Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but not in control or joint
control over those policies.
Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the
equity method, the investments in associates are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost adjusted for postacquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associates. The Group’s share of the net profit or loss of the associates is
recognised in the consolidated income statement. Where there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associates,
the Group recognises its share of such changes.
In applying the equity method, unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and the associates are eliminated to the
extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to
recognise any additional impairment loss with respect to the Group’s net investments in the associates. The investments in associates
are accounted for using the equity method from the date the Group obtains significant influence until the date the Group ceases to
have significant influence over the associates or the investments become subsidiaries.
Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. Any excess of the Group’s
share of the net fair value of the associates’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investments is
excluded from the carrying amount of the investments and is instead included as income in the determination of the Group’s share of
the associates’ profit or loss in the period in which the investments are acquired.
When the Group’s share of losses in associates equal or exceed its interest in the associates, including any long-term interests that, in
substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associates, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred
obligations or made payments on behalf of the associates.
The most recent available audited financial statements of the associates are used by the Group in applying the equity method. Where
the dates of the audited financial statements used are not co-terminous with those of the Group, the share of results is derived from
the last audited financial statements available and management financial statements to the end of the accounting period. Uniform
accounting polices are adopted for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in associates are stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is included in the income
statement.
127
– 31 March 2015
2.4 General reinsurance, takaful and retakaful underwriting results
The general reinsurance, takaful and retakaful underwriting results are determined after taking into account premiums/contributions,
reinsurance/retakaful/retrotakaful costs, commissions, movements in premium/contribution liabilities, net claims incurred and wakalah fees.
The general takaful and retakaful funds are maintained in accordance with the IFSA 2013 and consist of AFS reserves and the accumulated
surplus/deficit in the funds. Any deficit will be made good by the shareholder’s fund via a loan or Qard.
In general takaful and retakaful funds, the surplus distributable to the participants is determined after deducting retakaful/retrotakaful costs,
movements in contribution liabilities, commissions, net claims incurred, wakalah fees, expenses, taxation and surplus administration charges.
The surplus may be distributed to the shareholder and participants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective contracts or
prescribed by the Shariah Committee.
(i)Premium and contribution recognition
Gross premiums/contributions are recognised in a financial period in respect of risks assumed during the particular financial period.
Gross premiums/contributions include premium/contribution income in relation to direct general business, inwards facultative
business, inwards proportional treaty reinsurance/retakaful and inwards non-proportional treaty reinsurance/retakaful.
Contributions from direct businesses are recognised as soon as the amount of contribution can be reliably measured in accordance
with the principles of Shariah. Contributions are recognised in a financial period in respect of risks assumed during that particular
financial period.
Inwards facultative premiums/contributions are recognised in the financial period in respect of the facultative risk assumed during the
particular financial period following individual risks’ inception dates.
Inwards proportional treaty premiums/contributions are recognised on the basis of periodic advices received from cedants given that
the periodic advices reflect the individual underlying risks being incepted and reinsured/covered at various inception dates of these
risks and contractually accounted for under the terms of the proportional reinsurance/retakaful treaty.
Premium/contribution income on inward non-proportional treaties, which cover losses occurring during a specified treaty period, are
recognised based on the contractual premiums/contributions already established at the start of the treaty period under the terms and
conditions of each contract.
(ii)Premium and contribution liabilities
Premium/contribution liabilities represent the future obligations on insurance/takaful contracts as represented by premiums/
contributions received for risks that have not yet expired. The movement in premium/contribution liabilities is released over the term
of the insurance/takaful contracts and recognised as earned premium/contribution income.
Premium/contribution liabilities are reported at the higher of the aggregate of the unearned premium reserves (“UPR”)/unearned
contribution reserves (“UCR”) respectively for all lines of business or the best estimate value of the unexpired risk reserves (“URR”) and
a provision of risk margin for adverse deviation (“PRAD”) calculated at 75% confidence level at the end of the financial year.
128
– 31 March 2015
2.4 General reinsurance, takaful and retakaful underwriting results (cont’d)
(ii)Premium and contribution liabilities (cont’d)
(a)Unexpired risk reserves
The URR is a prospective estimate of the expected future payments arising from future events insured or covered under policies
or contracts in force and expected to be incurred as at the end of the financial year and also includes allowance for expenses,
including overheads and costs of reinsurance/retakaful, expected to be incurred during the unexpired period in administering
these policies or contracts and settling the relevant claims, and shall allow for expected future premium/contribution refunds.
URR is estimated via an actuarial valuation performed by a qualified actuary, using a mathematical method of estimation similar
to incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims.
(b)Unearned premium and contribution reserves
The UPR/UCR represent the portion of the net premiums/contributions of insurance/takaful contracts written that relate to
the unexpired periods of the contracts at the end of the financial year. The UCR is calculated on net contribution income with a
further deduction for wakalah fee expenses to reflect the wakalah business principle. The methods of computation of UPR/UCR
are as follows:
-
For inwards proportional treaty reinsurance/retakaful business, UPR/UCR are computed on the 1/8th method commencing
from the quarter corresponding to the reporting quarter of the treaty statement;
-
For inwards non-proportional treaty reinsurance/retakaful business, UPR/UCR is computed at 1/2 of the last quarter
Minimum Deposit Premiums/Contributions received;
-
For inwards facultative reinsurance/retakaful business, UPR/UCR is computed on the 1/8th method commencing from the
date of inception;
-
Time apportionment method for all classes of general takaful business within Malaysia except Marine and Aviation Cargo;
and
-
25% method for Marine and Aviation Cargo.
(iii)Claim liabilities
The amount of outstanding claims is the best estimate value of claim liabilities, which include provision for claims reported, claims
incurred but not enough reserved (“IBNER”) and IBNR claims together with related expenses less recoveries to settle the present
obligation as well as a PRAD calculated at 75% confidence level at the end of the financial year. Liabilities for outstanding claims are
recognised when a claimable event occurs and/or as advised/notified. IBNER and IBNR claims are based on an actuarial valuation by a
qualified actuary, using a mathematical method of estimation based on, amongst others, actual claims development patterns.
129
– 31 March 2015
2.4 General reinsurance, takaful and retakaful underwriting results (cont’d)
(iv)Liability adequacy test
At each reporting date, the Group reviews all insurance/takaful contract liabilities to ensure that the carrying amount of the liabilities
is sufficient or adequate to cover the obligations of the Group, contractual or otherwise, with respect to insurance/takaful contracts
issued. In performing this review, the Group compares all contractual cash flows against the carrying value of insurance/takaful contract
liabilities. Any deficiency is recognised in the income statement.
The estimation of claim/benefit and premium/contribution liabilities performed at the reporting date is part of the liability adequacy
tests performed by the Group.
(v)Acquisition costs and commission expense
The acquisition costs and commission expenses, which are costs directly incurred in acquiring and renewing reinsurance/takaful/
retakaful business, are recognised as incurred and properly allocated to the periods in which it is probable they give rise to income.
2.5Family takaful and retakaful underwriting results
The family takaful and retakaful underwriting results are determined after taking into account contributions, retakaful/retrotakaful costs,
commissions, net benefits incurred and wakalah fees.
The family takaful and retakaful funds are maintained in accordance with the requirements of the IFSA 2013 and consist of AFS reserves
and the accumulated surplus/deficit in the funds. The family takaful and retakaful fund surplus/deficit is determined by an annual actuarial
valuation of the funds. Any actuarial deficit in the family takaful and retakaful funds will be made good by the shareholder’s fund via a loan or
Qard.
In family takaful and retakaful funds, the surplus distributable to the participants is determined after deducting retakaful/retrotakaful costs,
net benefits incurred, wakalah fees, expenses, taxation and surplus administration charges. The surplus may be distributed to the shareholder
and participants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective contracts or prescribed by the Shariah Committee.
(i)Contribution recognition
Takaful contribution is recognised as soon as the amount of contribution can be reliably measured in accordance with the principles of
Shariah. First year contribution is recognised on the assumption of risks and subsequent takaful contributions are recognised on due
dates. Takaful contributions outstanding at the reporting date is recognised as income for the period provided they are within the grace
period allowed for payment and there are sufficient funds available in the participants’ accounts to cover such contributions due.
Retakaful contributions are recognised in respect of risks assumed during a particular financial period. Inwards treaty retakaful
contributions are recognised on the basis of statements received from ceding companies.

– 31 March 2015
2.5Family takaful and retakaful underwriting results (cont’d)
(ii)Contract liabilities
Family takaful contract liabilities are recognised when contracts are in-force and contributions are charged. Liabilities of benefits
payable of the family retakaful fund are recognised as advised by ceding companies.
For a one year family contract or a one year extension to a family contract covering contingencies other than life or survival, the liability
for such family takaful contracts comprises contribution and claim liabilities with an appropriate allowance for PRAD from the expected
experience.
The family takaful contract liabilities are derecognised when the contracts expire, are discharged or are cancelled. At each reporting
date, an assessment is made of whether the recognised family takaful contract liabilities are adequate by performing a liability adequacy
test as disclosed in Note 2.5(iv).
Liabilities of family takaful business are determined in accordance with valuation guidelines for takaful operators issued by BNM.
All family takaful liabilities have been valued using a prospective actuarial valuation based on the sum of the present value of future
benefits and expenses less future gross considerations arising from the contracts, discounted at the appropriate risk discount rate.
This method is known as the gross contribution valuation method. In the case of a family contract where a part of, or the whole of, the
contributions are accumulated in a fund, the accumulated amount as declared to the participants are set as the liabilities. Zerorisation
is applied at contract level and no contract is treated as an asset under the valuation method adopted.
In respect of the family takaful and retakaful risk fund, the expected future cash flows of benefits are determined using best estimate
assumptions with an appropriate allowance for PRAD from expected experience such that an overall level of sufficiency of contract
reserves at a 75% confidence level is secured. In the case of investment-linked business, the fund value is treated as a liability.
Surpluses arising from the difference between the value of the family fund and the liabilities, including accumulated surplus, will be
distributed to the participants after deduction for surplus administration charges, as appropriate.
If the difference between the value of the family fund and the liabilities results in a deficit, the deficit is made good via a Qard from the
takaful subsidiary which will be repaid when the fund returns to a surplus position.
(iii)Creation/cancellation of units of family takaful fund
Amounts received for units created represent contributions paid by participants or unitholders as payment for new contracts or
subsequent payments to increase the amount of the contracts. Creation/cancellation of units are recognised in the financial statements
at the next valuation date, after the request to purchase/sell units are received from the participants or unitholders.
(iv)Liability adequacy test
At each reporting date, the Group reviews all insurance/takaful contract liabilities to ensure that the carrying amount of the liabilities
is sufficient or adequate to cover the obligations of the Group, contractual or otherwise, with respect to insurance/takaful contracts
issued. In performing this review, the Group compares all contractual cash flows against the carrying value of insurance/takaful contract
liabilities. Any deficiency is recognised in the income statement.
131
– 31 March 2015
2.6Shareholder’s fund of takaful and retakaful subsidiaries
(i)Commission expenses
Commission expenses, which are costs directly incurred in securing contributions on takaful contracts, are recognised as incurred and
properly allocated to the periods in which it is probable they give rise to income. Commission expenses are recognised in the income
statement at an agreed percentage for each contract underwritten. This is in accordance with the principles of Wakalah as approved by
the Shariah Committee and as agreed between the participants and the takaful subsidiary.
(ii)Expense liabilities
The expense liabilities of the shareholder’s fund consist of expense liabilities of the general takaful and retakaful funds and the family
takaful and retakaful funds which are based on estimations performed by qualified actuaries. The movement in expense liabilities is
released over the term of the takaful contracts and recognised in the income statement.
(a)Expense liabilities of general takaful and retakaful funds
The expense liabilities of the general takaful and retakaful funds are reported at the higher of the aggregate of the reserves for
unearned wakalah fees (“UWF”) and the best estimate value of the provision for unexpired expense reserves (“UER”) and a PRAD
at a 75% confidence level at the end of the financial year.
Unexpired expense reserves
The UER is determined based on the expected future expenses payable by the shareholder’s fund in managing the general takaful
and retakaful funds for the full contractual obligation of the takaful and retakaful contracts as at the end of the financial year,
less any expected cash flows from future wakalah fee income, and any other income due to the shareholder’s fund that can be
determined with reasonable certainty, calculated at 75% confidence level. The method used to value the UER is consistent with
the method used in estimating the URR as disclosed in Note 2.4(ii)(a).
Reserves for unearned wakalah fees
The UWF represent the portion of wakalah fee income allocated for management expenses of general takaful and retakaful
contracts that relate to the unexpired periods of contracts at the end of the financial year. The method used in computing UWF
is consistent with the calculation of UCR under Note 2.4(ii)(b).
(b)Expense liabilities of family retakaful and takaful fund
The valuation of expense liabilities in relation to contracts of the family retakaful and takaful fund is conducted separately by the
Appointed Actuaries. The method used to value expense liabilities is consistent with the method used to value retakaful liabilities of
the corresponding family retakaful/takaful contracts. In valuing the expense liabilities, the present value of expected future expenses
payable by the shareholder’s fund in managing the retakaful fund for the full contractual obligation of the retakaful/takaful contracts
less any expected cash flows from future wakalah fee income, and any other income due to the shareholder’s fund that can be
determined with reasonable certainty, are taken into consideration. The estimation includes a PRAD at a 75% confidence level.
(c)Liability adequacy test
132
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the expense liabilities to ensure that the carrying amount is sufficient or adequate
to cover the obligations of the Group for all managed takaful contracts. In performing this review, the Group considers all
contractual cash flows and compares this against the carrying value of expense liabilities. Any deficiency is recognised in the
income statement.
– 31 March 2015
2.7Product classification
Financial risk is the risk of a possible future change in one or more of a specified interest/profit rate, financial instrument price, commodity
price, foreign exchange rate, index of price or rate, credit rating or credit index or other variable, provided in the case of a non-financial variable
that the variable is not specific to a party to the contract. Insurance/underwriting risk is the risk other than financial risk.
An insurance/takaful contract is a contract under which the reinsurance, takaful and retakaful subsidiaries have accepted significant insurance/
underwriting risk from another party by agreeing to compensate the party if a specified uncertain future event adversely affects the party. As
a general guideline, the reinsurance, takaful and retakaful subsidiaries determine whether significant insurance/underwriting risk has been
accepted by comparing claims/benefits payable on the occurrence of an insured event with claims/benefits payable if the event had not
occurred.
Conversely, investment contracts are those contracts that transfer financial risk with no significant insurance/underwriting risk.
Once a contract has been classified as an insurance/takaful contract, it remains an insurance/takaful contract for the remainder of its life-time,
even if the insurance/underwriting risk reduces significantly during the period, unless all rights and obligations expire or are extinguished.
2.8Reinsurance/retakaful
The reinsurance, takaful and retakaful subsidiaries cede insurance/underwriting risk in the normal course of business. Ceded reinsurance/
retakaful arrangements do not relieve the reinsurance, takaful and retakaful subsidiaries from their obligations to cedants/participants. For
both ceded and assumed reinsurance/retakaful, premiums/contributions and claims/benefits are presented on a gross basis.
Reinsurance/retakaful arrangements entered into by the reinsurance, takaful and retakaful subsidiaries that meet the classification
requirements of insurance/takaful contracts as described in Note 2.7 are accounted for as noted below. Arrangements that do not meet these
classification requirements are accounted for as financial assets.
Reinsurance/retakaful assets represent amounts recoverable from reinsurers/retakaful operators for insurance/takaful contract liabilities
which have yet to be settled at the reporting date. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers/retakaful operators are measured consistently with
the amounts associated with the underlying insurance/takaful contracts and the terms of the relevant reinsurance/retakaful arrangement.
At each reporting date, the reinsurance, takaful and retakaful subsidiaries assess whether objective evidence exists that reinsurance/
retakaful assets are impaired. Objective evidence of impairment for reinsurance/retakaful assets are similar to those noted for insurance/
takaful receivables. If any such evidence exists, the amount of the 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/profit rate. The
impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. Reinsurance/retakaful assets are derecognised when the contractual rights expire or
are extinguished or when the contract is transferred to another party.
2.9Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
(i)Recognition and measurement
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition, plant and equipment are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses, whilst properties are stated at revalued amounts less subsequent
accumulated depreciation and subsequent impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition
of the asset.
In respect of freehold land and buildings, valuations are performed with sufficient frequency to ensure that the carrying amount does
not differ materially from the fair value of the freehold land and buildings at the reporting date.
133
– 31 March 2015
2.9Property, plant and equipment and depreciation (cont’d)
(i)Recognition and measurement (cont’d)
Any revaluation surplus is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the asset revaluation reserve,
except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in the income statement, in which
case the increase is recognised in the income statement. A revaluation deficit is recognised in the income statement, except to the
extent that it offsets an existing surplus on the same asset carried in the asset revaluation reserve.
Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net
amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. On disposal of property, plant and equipment, the difference between net
proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement and the unutilised portion of the revaluation surplus on that
item is taken directly to retained profits.
(ii)Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable
that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of
the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the income statement as incurred.
(iii)Depreciation
Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Leased properties are depreciated over the shorter of the
lease term and their useful lives.
Work in progress is also not depreciated as it is not available for use. When work in progress is completed and the asset is available for
use, it is reclassified to the relevant category of property, plant and equipment and depreciation of the asset begins. During the period
in which the asset is not yet available for use, it is tested for impairment annually.
Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment is provided for on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of each asset to its
residual value over its estimated useful life, at the following annual rates:
Buildings
Computer equipment
Office equipment
Furniture and fittings
Motor vehicles
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each financial year to ensure that the amount,
method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future
economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.

2.10Investment properties
Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation. Such properties are measured
initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value.
Fair value is arrived at by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties and is performed by registered independent
valuers having an appropriate recognised professional qualification 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 the income statement in the year in which
they arise.
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment properties are permanently
withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from the disposals. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an
investment property are recognised in the income statement in the year in which they arise.
Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from owner-occupied property to
investment property, any excess of the property’s carrying value over its fair value is accounted for as a revaluation surplus which is recognised
in other comprehensive income. Any deficit between the property’s carrying value and its fair value is recognised as an impairment loss in the
income statement. Subsequent to the date of change in use, the property is measured similar to other investment properties. Any revaluation
surplus previously recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred to the income statement only upon disposal of the property.
2.11Intangible assets
All intangible assets are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition, intangible assets are stated at cost less any accumulated
amortisation and any impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
On disposal of intangible assets, the difference between net proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on a
straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible
assets may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed
annually at the end of each reporting period.
Amortisation is charged to the income statement.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The useful life of an
intangible asset with an indefinite life is also reviewed annually to determine whether the useful life assessment continues to be supportable.
(i)Software development in progress
Software development in progress represent development expenditure on software. Following the initial recognition of the
development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
When development is complete and the asset is available for use, it is reclassified to computer software and amortisation of the asset
begins. It is amortised over the period of expected future use. During the period in which the asset is not yet available for use, it is tested
for impairment annually.
135
– 31 March 2015
2.11Intangible assets (cont’d)
(ii)Computer software and licences
The useful lives of computer software and licences are considered to be finite because computer software and licences are susceptible
to technological obsolescence.
The acquired computer software and licences are amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives not
exceeding 6 years. Impairment is assessed whenever there is an indication of impairment and the amortisation period and method are
also reviewed annually at the end of each financial year.
2.12Financial assets
(i) Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the Company become a party
to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset is recognised initially, at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
An embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if, and only if, it is not closely
related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the host contract is not categorised at FVTPL. The host
contract, in the event an embedded derivative is recognised separately, is accounted for in accordance with the policy applicable to the
nature of the host contract.
(ii)Classification and subsequent measurement
The Group and the Company determine the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and this depends on the purpose for
which the investments were acquired or originated. The following classifications are used by the Group and the Company in categorising
its financial assets:
(a)Financial assets at FVTPL
136
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL if they are held for trading or are designated as such upon initial
recognition. Financial assets held for trading are derivatives (including separated embedded derivatives) or financial assets
acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in
fair value are recognised in the income statement. Net gains or net losses on financial assets at FVTPL do not include exchange
differences, interest and dividend income. Exchange differences and interest and dividend income on financial assets at FVTPL
are recognised in the appropriate categories of income and expenses in the income statement.
– 31 March 2015
2.12Financial assets (cont’d)
(ii)Classification and subsequent measurement (cont’d)
(b)HTM investments
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are classified as HTM when the Group and the
Company have the positive intention and ability to hold the investments to maturity.
Subsequent to initial recognition, HTM investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest/yield method
less any accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the HTM investments
are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
(c)Loans and receivables
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest/yield method.
Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and
through the amortisation process.
(d)AFS financial assets
AFS financial assets are financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified in any of the three preceding
categories.
After initial recognition, AFS financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses from changes in fair
value of the financial asset are recognised in other comprehensive income, except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains
and losses on monetary instruments and interest/profit calculated using the effective interest/yield method are recognised in
the income statement. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised is reclassified from other comprehensive income to the
income statement as a reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is derecognised. Interest/profit income calculated
using the effective interest/yield method is recognised in the income statement.
Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less accumulated
impairment losses.
(iii)Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or the Group and the
Company have transferred their rights to receive cash flows from the asset or have assumed an obligation to pay the received cash
flows in full. 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 the
income statement.
(iv)Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if
there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise
the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
137
– 31 March 2015
2.13Fair value measurement
The Group and the Company measure financial instruments, such as, financial assets at FVTPL, and non-financial assets such as investment
properties, at fair value at each reporting date. The fair values of financial instruments measured at amortised cost are disclosed in Notes 19
and 40.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability
takes place either:
(i)
In the principal market for the asset or liability; or
(ii)
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group and the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability,
assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account
a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market
participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group and the Company use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to
measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy,
described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Inputs that are based on observable market data, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group and the Company determine whether
transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. The fair value hierarchy of financial instruments is disclosed in Note 40.
138
– 31 March 2015
2.14Impairment of assets
(i)Financial assets
The Group and the Company assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset
or a group of financial assets is impaired.
(a)Financial assets carried at amortised cost
The Group and the Company first assess whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are
individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined
that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset
is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively
assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues
to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. The impairment assessment is performed at the end
of each reporting period.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of
the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original
effective interest rate/yield. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the loss is recorded in the income statement.
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. Any subsequent reversal
of an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed
its amortised cost at the reversal date.
(b)AFS financial assets
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 are considerations to determine whether there is objective evidence that investment
securities classified as AFS financial assets are impaired.
If an AFS financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and
amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment losses previously recognised in the income statement, is transferred
from equity to the income statement.
Impairment losses on AFS equity investments are not reversed in the income statement in subsequent periods. Increases in fair
value, if any, subsequent to impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. For AFS debt investments, impairment
losses are subsequently reversed in the income statement if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively
related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss in the income statement.
139
– 31 March 2015
2.14Impairment of assets (cont’d)
(ii)Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of non-financial assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For the purpose of impairment
testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely
independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”). The goodwill acquired in a business
combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies
of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is recognised if the
carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash generating units are
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or groups of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are
assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the losses have decreased or no longer exist.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last
impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed
the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
Reversals of impairment losses are credited to the income statement in the period in which the reversals are recognised.
2.15Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than
through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale
in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary.
Immediately before classification as held for sale, the non-current assets are measured in accordance with applicable MFRSs. On initial
classification as held for sale, non-current assets are then measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any
difference is included in the income statement. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated.
2.16 Measurement and impairment of Qard
Any deficits in the takaful/retakaful funds are made good via a loan or Qard, granted by the shareholder’s funds to the takaful/retakaful funds.
The Qard is stated at cost less any impairment losses in the shareholder’s funds. In the takaful/retakaful funds, the Qard is stated at cost.
The Qard shall be repaid from future surpluses of the takaful/retakaful funds.
The Qard is tested for impairment on an annual basis via an assessment of the estimated surpluses or cash flows from the takaful/retakaful
funds to determine whether there is any objective evidence of impairment. If the Qard is impaired, an amount comprising the difference
between its cost and its recoverable amount, less any impairment loss previously recognised, is recognised in the income statement.
Impairment losses are subsequently reversed in the income statement if objective evidence exists that the Qard is no longer impaired.
140
– 31 March 2015
2.17Share capital and dividend expenses
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Ordinary shares are recorded at the proceeds received, net of directly attributable incremental transaction costs. Ordinary shares are classified
as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared.
2.18Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and at banks, excluding fixed and call deposits with licensed financial institutions, which have
an insignificant risk of changes in value. The statement of cash flows has been prepared using the indirect method.
2.19Insurance and takaful receivables
Insurance/takaful receivables are amounts receivable under the contractual terms of an insurance/takaful contract. On initial recognition,
insurance/takaful receivables are measured at fair value based on the consideration receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, insurance/
takaful receivables are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest/yield method.
Insurance/takaful receivables are assessed at each reporting date for objective evidence of impairment. 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 insurance/takaful receivable’s original effective interest/yield rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the income
statement. The basis for recognition of such impairment loss is as described in Note 2.14(i)(a).
Insurance/takaful receivables are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from them have expired or when they have been
transferred and the Group has also substantially transferred all risks and rewards of ownership.
2.20Borrowings
All borrowings are classified as other financial liabilities and are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs.
The profits payable are recognised as finance costs in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
After initial recognition, profit-bearing borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective profit rate method. Gains
and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective profit rate method.
2.21Leases
(i)Classification
A lease is recognised as a finance lease if it substantially transfers to the Group all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. 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 of land and buildings are considered separately for the purposes of lease classification. All leases that do not
substantially transfer all risks and rewards are classified as operating leases, with the following exceptions:
(a)
Property held under operating leases that would otherwise meet the definition of an investment property is classified as an
investment property on a case-by-case basis and, if classified as investment property, is accounted for as if held under a finance
lease, as disclosed in Note 2.10; and
(b)
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.
141
– 31 March 2015
2.21Leases (cont’d)
(ii)Finance leases - the Group as lessee
Assets acquired by way of hire purchase or finance lease are stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present
value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The
corresponding liability is included in the statement of financial position as borrowings. In calculating the present value of the minimum
lease payments, the discount factor used is the interest/profit rate implicit in the lease, when it is impracticable to determine; otherwise,
the Group and the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct costs are also added to the carrying amount of such
assets.
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance costs and the reduction of the outstanding liability. Finance costs, which represent
the difference between the total leasing commitments and the fair value of the assets acquired, are recognised in the income statement
over the term of the relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for
each accounting period.
The depreciation policy for leased assets is in accordance with that for depreciable property, plant and equipment as described in
Note 2.9(iii).
(iii)Operating leases - the Group as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. The aggregate
benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
In the case of a lease of land and buildings, the minimum lease payments or the upfront payments made are allocated, whenever
necessary, between the land and the buildings elements in proportion to the relative fair values of leasehold interests in the land
element and buildings element of the lease at the inception of the lease. The up-front payments represent prepaid lease payments and
are amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(iv)Operating leases - the Group as lessor
Assets leased out under operating leases are presented in the statement of financial position according to the nature of the assets.
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease, as disclosed in
Note 2.27(ii). Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased
asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.22Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial
liability.
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 Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other financial liabilities.
142
– 31 March 2015
2.22Financial liabilities (cont’d)
(i)Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at
FVTPL.
Financial liabilities held for trading include derivatives entered into by the Group and the Company that do not meet the hedge
accounting criteria. Derivative liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently stated at fair value, with any resultant
gains or losses recognised in the income statement. Net gains or losses on derivatives include exchange differences.
The Group and the Company have not designated any financial liabilities as at FVTPL nor were there any financial liabilities held for
trading during and at the end of the financial year.
(ii)Other financial liabilities
The Group and the Company’s other financial liabilities include borrowings, insurance/takaful payables and other payables.
Insurance/takaful and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest/yield method.
For other financial liabilities, gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised, and through
the amortisation process.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. When an existing financial liability is replaced by
another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange
or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement.
2.23Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are
reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the
amount of provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation.
2.24Income tax
Income tax on profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in
respect of the taxable profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the end of the financial year.
Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the end of the financial year between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable
temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax
credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax
losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of
an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit
nor taxable profit.
143
– 31 March 2015
2.24Income tax (cont’d)
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on
tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the financial year. Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement,
except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in other comprehensive income, in which case the deferred tax is also
charged or credited directly in other comprehensive income.
2.25Employee benefits
(i)Short-term benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are
rendered by employees of the Group. Short-term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when
services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated balances. Short-term non-accumulating
compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.
(ii)
Defined contribution plan
As required by law, the Group makes contributions to the national pension scheme, the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”). The
Group also makes additional contributions to the EPF for eligible employees by reference to their length of service and earnings. Such
contributions are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred.
(iii)Employees’ terminal benefits
As required by law in the United Arab Emirates, the Group makes provision for terminal benefits for employees of its Dubai subsidiary,
based on the employees’ salaries and number of years of service. The terminal benefits are paid to the employees on termination or
completion of their terms of employment.
2.26Foreign currencies
(i)Functional and presentation currency
The individual financial statements of each entity in 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.
(ii)Foreign currency transactions
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (“foreign currencies”) are recorded
in the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary items
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting date. Non-monetary items carried at fair
value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the reporting date are recognised
in income statement except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign
operations, which are recognised intially in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the foreign currency translation
reserve in equity. The foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified from equity to the income statement of the Group on disposal
of the foreign operation.
144
– 31 March 2015
2.26Foreign currencies (cont’d)
(ii)Foreign currency transactions (cont’d)
Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in the income statement for
the period except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised
directly in other comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in
other comprehensive income.
(iii)Foreign operations
The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency of the
consolidated financial statements are translated into RM as follows:
(a)
Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate prevailing at the reporting date;
(b)
Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates for the year, which approximates the
exchange rates at the dates of the transactions;
(c)
All resulting exchange differences are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve within equity; and
(d)
The results of an associate, Labuan Reinsurance (L) Limited, are translated at the closing rate prevailing at the reporting date
with respect to the carrying amount of the investment in associate, and at the exchange rate at the date of the transactions with
respect to the share of profits or losses. All resulting translation differences are included in the foreign exchange translation
reserve in shareholders’ equity.
2.27Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits flow to the Group and the Company and the revenue can
be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable.
(i)
Interest and profit income are recognised using the effective interest/yield method.
(ii)
Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The aggregate costs of incentives provided to lessees are
recognised as a reduction of rental income over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
(iii)
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
(iv)
Management fees are recognised when services are rendered.
(v)
Wakalah fees are recognised as soon as the amount of contribution can be reliably measured in accordance with the principles of Shariah.
(vi)
Premiums/contributions are recognised in accordance with the policies stated in Note 2.4(i) and 2.5(i).
2.28Zakat
Zakat represents an obligatory amount payable by the takaful and retakaful subsidiaries to comply with the principles of Shariah. Zakat is
computed using the “net-asset” method at a rate of 2.5%, as approved by the Shariah Committee. Only the zakat that is attributable to the
individual and corporate Muslim shareholders of the holding company was provided for in the financial statements. The Zakat computation is
reviewed by the Shariah Committee. The Board has the discretion to pay additional quantum above the obligatory amount payable.
145
– 31 March 2015
2.29Changes in Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted by the Group and the Company are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the
following:
Adoption of Amendments to MFRSs and Issues Committee (“IC”) Interpretation

2.30Standards issued but not yet effective (cont’d)
The Directors expect that the adoption of the above standards and amendments to standards are not expected to have material impact on the
financial statements in the period of initial application except as discussed below:
MFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“MFRS 9”)
In November 2014, MASB issued the final version of MFRS 9 which reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces MFRS
139 and all previous versions of MFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment and
hedge accounting. MFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. Retrospective
application is required, but comparative information is not compulsory. The adoption of MFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and
measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but no impact on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial liabilities. The
Directors are in the process of assessing the financial implications for adopting the new standard.
3.Significant accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the Group and the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and
estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.
3.1Critical judgement made in applying accounting policies
The following are the judgements made by management in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies that have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical
experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Classification between investment properties and property, plant and equipment
The Group has developed certain criteria based on MFRS 140 Investment Property in making judgement whether a property qualifies as an
investment property. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Some properties comprise a
portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or
services or for administrative purposes. If these portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease), the Group
would account for the portions separately. If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is an investment property only if an
insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Judgement is made on an
individual property basis to determine whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not qualify as investment property.
Impairment of AFS financial assets
The Company reviews its debt securities classified as AFS financial assets at each reporting date to assess whether they are impaired. The
Company also records impairment charges on AFS equity investments when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value
below their cost.
The determination of what is “significant” or “prolonged” requires judgement. In making this judgement, the Company evaluates, among
other factors, historical share price movements and the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost.
147
– 31 March 2015
3.Significant accounting estimates and judgements (cont’d)
3.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk
of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
(a)
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation and amortisation are based on management’s estimates of the future estimated average useful lives and residual values of
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets respectively. Estimates may change due to technological developments, expected
level of usage, competition, market conditions and other factors, and could impact the estimated average useful lives and the residual
values of these assets and correspondingly, may result in future changes in depreciation or amortisation expenses.
Accordingly, at the end of each reporting period, the residual values and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets are assessed to determine that they continue to be consistent as disclosed in Notes 2.9(iii) and 2.11, respectively.
As at the reporting date, management has determined that the estimated useful lives and residual values of property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets of the Group and of the Company remain consistent.
(b)
General reinsurance, takaful and retakaful business
The principal uncertainty in the general reinsurance, takaful and retakaful business arises from the technical provisions which include
the estimation of premium/contribution and claim liabilities. Premium/contribution liabilities are recorded as the higher of UPR/UCR
and URR while claim liabilities mainly comprise provision for claims reported and IBNER and IBNR claims.
Generally, claim liabilities are determined based upon previous claims experience, existing knowledge of events, the terms and
conditions of the relevant policies and interpretation of circumstances. Particularly relevant is past experience with similar cases,
historical claims development trends, legislative changes, judicial decisions and economic conditions. It is certain that actual future
premium/contribution and claim liabilities will not exactly develop as projected and may vary from the projection.
The estimates of premium/contribution and claim liabilities are therefore sensitive to various factors and uncertainties. The
establishment of technical provisions is an inherently uncertain process and, as a consequence of this uncertainty, the eventual
settlement of premium/contribution and claim liabilities may vary from the initial estimates.
At each reporting date, the estimates of premium/contribution and claim liabilities are re-assessed for adequacy by an appointed
actuary and changes will be reflected as adjustments to these liabilities. The appointment of the actuary is approved by BNM.
(c)Family takaful and retakaful business
The estimation of the ultimate liability arising from claims made under the family takaful and retakaful businesses is a critical accounting
estimate. There are several sources of uncertainty that need to be considered in the estimation of the liabilities that the family takaful
and retakaful funds will ultimately be required to pay as claims/benefits.
For family takaful and retakaful contracts, estimates are made for future deaths, disabilities, maturities, investment returns, voluntary
terminations and expenses in accordance with contractual and regulatory requirements. The family takaful and retakaful funds base
the estimate of expected number of deaths on statutory mortality tables, adjusted where appropriate to reflect the funds’ unique risk
exposures. The estimated number of deaths determines the value of possible future benefits to be paid out, which will be factored into
ensuring sufficient cover by reserves, which in return is monitored against current and future contributions.
148
– 31 March 2015
3.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d)
(c)Family takaful and retakaful business (cont’d)
For those contracts that cover risks related to disability, estimates are made based on recent past experience and emerging trends.
However, epidemics as well as wide ranging changes to lifestyle, could result in significant changes to the expected future exposures.
All of these will give rise to estimation uncertainties of the projected ultimate liabilities of the family takaful and retakaful funds.
At each reporting date, these estimates are re-assessed for adequacy and changes will be reflected as adjustments to the liabilities by
an appointed actuary. The appoinment of the actuary is approved by BNM.
(d)Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets are tested for impairment when indications of potential impairment exist. Indicators of impairment which could trigger an
impairment review include evidence of obsolescence or physical damage, significant fall in market values, significant underperformance
relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the use of assets or the strategy of the business
and significant adverse industry or economic changes. Recoverable amounts of assets are based on management’s estimates and
assumptions of the net realisable value, cash flows arising from the future operating performance and revenue generating capacity
of the assets and CGUs, and future market conditions. Changes in circumstances may lead to changes in estimates and assumptions,
and result in changes to the recoverable amounts of assets and impairment losses needed. As at the reporting date, management has
determined that recognised cumulative impairment losses as at the reporting date are appropriate.
(e)Impairment of unquoted equity investments
The Group and the Company follows the guidance of the applicable MFRS in determining whether there is a decline other than
temporary in the fair value of its investment in unquoted corporations. This determination requires significant judgement. In making this
judgement, the Group and the Company evaluate the quantitative and qualitative factors affecting the market position of the investee
including the regulatory support it receives and its longer term business outlook and financial standing. Appropriate considerations are
given to the investee’s financial gestation period, financial projections, business prospects and the proprietary technology involved.
It is also recognised that an initial decline in fair value of investments in new start-up investee companies, which is deemed temporary,
may arise due to development and operational losses in the initial years. Based on an assessment performed at the reporting date, the
Board of Directors and Management of the Group and the Company are of the opinion that there is no further indication of impairment
of the Group and the Company’s investment in unquoted corporations at this juncture.
(f)Impairment of insurance/takaful receivables and reinsurance/retakaful assets
The Group reviews its insurance/takaful and reinsurance/retakaful assets on a regular basis to assess whether impairment losses should
be recognised in the income statement. In particular, judgement by management is required in the estimation of the amount and timing
of future cash flows when determining the level of impairment required. Such estimates are necessarily based on assumptions about
the probability of default and probable losses in the event of default, the value of the underlying security, and realisation costs.
These estimates are revisited by management on a frequent basis, at least once a year, to determine if certain assumptions continue to
be reasonable. As at the reporting date, the impairment losses recognised on insurance/takaful receivables and reinsurance/retakaful
assets reflect the expected recoverable amounts of these assets.
149
– 31 March 2015
3.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d)
(g)
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised. Significant
management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based on the likely timing
and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. These depend
on estimates of future production and sales volume, operating costs, capital expenditure, dividends and other capital management
transactions. Judgement is also required in the interpretation and application of income tax legislation. These judgements and
assumptions are subject to risks and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations,
which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets recognised in the statements of financial position and the amount of unrecognised
tax losses and unrecognised temporary differences.
The judgements and assumptions used in the estimation of deferred tax liabilities/assets are re-assessed at least once a year to
determine that they continue to be appropriate.
The total carrying value of recognised temporary differences of the Group and unrecognised temporary deductible differences are
disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements.
As at the reporting date, recognised deferred tax assets represent a fair estimate of the Group’s deductible temporary differences and
deferred tax liabilities reflect a fair estimate of the Group’s taxable temporary differences.

The tax expense from YA 2010 to YA 2014 of the takaful subsidiary, which represents the open tax periods on which the subsidiary is entitled
to claim tax refunds under the Income Tax Act 1967, had been revised and the resultant changes had been recognised as an overprovision of
tax in the current financial year. The details are as described in Note 39.
(ii)
Following the enactment of Finance (No. 2) Act 2014, effective from YA 2015, wakalah fee income received by the shareholder’s fund of the
takaful subsidiary from its family takaful fund is no longer subject to tax and accordingly, the commission and management expenses incurred
by the shareholder’s fund in connection with the management of the family takaful fund is also not deductible for tax purposes. Therefore,
the deferred tax assets previously recognised for the expenses liability and management expenses in connection with the family fakaful fund
were derecognised in the financial year.

Revaluation of freehold land and buildings
Freehold land and buildings in Malaysia have been revalued based on valuations performed by an accredited independent valuer having an
appropriate recognised professional qualification. The valuations are based on the income approach.
The income approach entails the determination of the probable gross annual rental the property is capable of producing and deducting therefrom
the outgoings to arrive at the annual net income.
Freehold buildings outside Malaysia have been revalued based on their value-in-use and a discount rate of 7% (2014: 7%) is applied, being the
prevailing rental yield in the country where the buildings are located. During the financial year, the impairment losses on two of the buildings outside
Malaysia were being reversed. The recoverable amount of these two buildings is RM2.963 million (2014: RM2.442 million).
If the freehold land and buildings were measured using the cost model, the carrying amounts would be as follows:

17.Investments in subsidiaries (cont’d)
(a)Investment in retakaful subsidiary
The cumulative impairment loss of RM69,665,000 (2014: RM39,338,000) was made in respect of the retakaful subsidiary, which had
recorded a net loss in the prior years, mainly due to the losses incurred by the general and family retakaful funds.
On 31 March 2015, the Company increased its investment in its retakaful subsidiary by RM2 million via the issuance of 2,000,000 new
ordinary shares of RM1.00 each in the retakaful subsidiary at an issue price of RM1.00 per share, to meet regulatory capital requirements.
With the above subscription, the issued and paid-up capital of the retakaful subsidiary has increased from RM100 million to RM102 million,
comprising 102,000,000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each.
(b)Investment in wholesale unit trust funds
There were no significant changes in the composition of the Group during the current financial year ended 31 March 2015 other than the
reinsurance and takaful subsidiaries’ acquisition of 100% interest in two wholesale unit trust funds.
During the financial year ended 31 March 2015, the Company’s reinsurance and takaful subsidiaries acquired all units in two wholesale unit
trust funds which are managed by an external fund manager. The principal activities of these funds are to invest in Shariah compliant money
market instruments and Sukuk. As at the reporting date, the Company’s subsidiaries have an effective direct interest of 100% in the funds.
The Company’s subsidiaries have assessed and determined that they have control over these two wholesale unit trust funds. Hence, these two
wholesale unit trust funds would need to be consolidated in full. In accordance with the exemption provisions under MFRS 10 Consolidated
Financial Statements, the financial statements of the funds are consolidated with the Group’s consolidated financial statements from the date
of control and continue to be consolidated until the date such control ceases.

34.Risk management framework
(a)Risk governance framework
The Group’s Risk Management Framework is designed to determine the level of risk acceptable to the Group relating to its core operations
by setting the appropriate Board approved limits for adherence by management after taking into account the risk parameters, the nature, the
size and the mix and complexity of business and operations. An enterprise risk management process is adopted to identify and evaluate key
business risks that may affect the organisation and to establish and implement an appropriate system of internal controls to manage these
risks while ensuring full and effective control over significant strategic, financial, organisational and compliance matters.
The Risk Management Framework aims to serve as a guide for the effective management of risk throughout the Group. The Framework is
intended to provide guidance to the Group in performing its risk management roles and responsibilities and ultimately aims to support the
achievement of the Group’s strategic and financial objectives.
The key objectives of the risk management framework are to:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
provide information on risk governance and accountabilities;
provide guidance on a standard approach to managing risks;
create a risk aware and compliance culture; and
enhance professionalism and increase profitability and value for shareholders.
In pursuit of the above objectives, it is the Group’s policy to implement good governance, risk management and compliance principles and
best practices, and to uphold high standards of business practices in all the activities undertaken by the Group.
The Risk Management Governance structure is as follows:
(i)
The Board had established a dedicated Board Committee known as the Risk Management Committee of the Board (“RMCB”) at MNRB
Holdings Berhad level to oversee the implementation of an enterprise-wide risk management framework. This is also replicated at each
of the subsidiary companies;
(ii)
The Board had established a dedicated Investment Committee at MNRB Holdings Berhad level to further oversee risk associated with
investments and assets allocation. This is also replicated at each of the subsidiary companies;
(iii) The Operational Risk Management Committee (“ORMC”) which comprises the President/Chief Executive Officer and senior
management, implements the risk management processes, provides assurance to the Board that the processes have been carried out
effectively and inculcates a risk management and compliance culture on an enterprise-wide basis;
(iv) The Group Chief Risk Management and Compliance Officer (“GCRMCO”) and Group Risk Management and Compliance Division
establish the infrastructure and facilitate the risk management and compliance process in the Company and across the subsidiaries
through the adoption of the Group’s risk management framework;
(v)
At the operational level, the implementation of risk management and compliance process in the day to day operations of the Group is
consistent with the risk management framework; and
(vi) The Line Managers of each department within the Group are responsible for using the various components of the risk management
framework as an integral part of the business processes and procedures.

34.Risk management framework (cont’d)
(b)Capital management objectives, policies and approach
The Capital Management Plan (“CMP”) is designed and implemented at the subsidiary level to ensure an effective management of the
subsidiaries’ capital. The CMP is expected to maximise the Group’s value by optimising capital structure and enhancing capital efficiency.
Under the CMP, the subsidiaries measure and monitor their respective capital position mainly via the Capital Adequacy Ratio (“CAR”).
The CMP identifies certain trigger points of the CAR position and further describes a set of corrective action plans that will be implemented
towards maintaining an adequate level of capital. It is intended that capital will be utilised more efficiently in a controlled manner so that the
subsidiaries will be able to manage their capital position above the internal target.
Capital management objectives
The main objective of capital management is to monitor and maintain, at all times, an appropriate level of capital which is commensurate
with the subsidiaries’ business operations and the resultant risk profile. The key objective of the CMP is to trigger appropriate action plans to
be taken by the relevant Board and the management of the subsidiaries in the event of internal capital levels falling below the internal target
requirement. This includes remedial actions that must be undertaken by the subsidiaries’ Board and management to improve the capital
position.
Capital management policies
The key capital management policies are as follows:
(i)
Ensure the Group has adequate capital within a range that supports the stakeholders’ objectives; and
(ii)
Establish responsibility of the subsidiaries’ Board and management in developing an internal capital adequacy assessment process and
setting capital targets that are commensurate with its business operations and the resultant risk profile and control environment.
Approach to capital management
The reinsurance, retakaful and takaful subsidiaries conduct stress tests on its CAR in compliance with BNM/RH/GL 003-23: Guideline on
Stress Testing for Insurers and BNM/RH/GL 004-16: Guideline on Stress Testing for Takaful Operators. The impact of the adverse scenarios on the
capital position of the subsidiaries is assessed quarterly focusing on short to medium term views.
(c)Regulatory framework
The reinsurance, retakaful and takaful subsidiaries are required to comply with the Financial Services Act (“FSA”) 2013 and IFSA 2013,
respectively, which are administered by BNM. BNM is primarily interested in protecting the rights of policyholders and participants and
monitoring the subsidiaries closely to ensure prudent management of its business operations. At the same time, BNM is also interested in
ensuring that the subsidiaries actively manage the capital adequacy by taking into account the potential impact on the subsidiaries business
strategies, risk profile and the overall resilience of the Company.
In addition, the Company is required to comply with Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad’s (“Bursa”) Risk Management and Internal Control
System, the Listing Requirements of Bursa, Guidelines issued by the Securities Commission and the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 as
a result of its status as a listed company on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

35.Underwriting risk
(a)
General reinsurance
(i)Nature of risk
The reinsurance subsidiary principally underwrites all classes of general reinsurance business. Risks under these contracts usually cover
a twelve month duration other than some long term contracts which may cover up to 3 years or more. For general reinsurance, the
most significant risks arise from adverse development of claims and catastrophic loss events. These risks vary significantly in relation to
economic conditions and territories from which the risks are underwritten.
The above risks are mitigated by diversification across a large portfolio of business to ensure a balanced mix and spread of business
as required by underwriting policies. Diversification through the implementation of underwriting strategies and claim management
policies reduces the volatility of risks and improves the overall portfolio experience, and also ensures that conservative estimates are
secured on its insurance contract liabilities are adequate.
The reinsurance subsidiary also manages its loss exposure through the use of retrocession programmes which are reviewed annually
by the ORMC and RMCB, and subsequently approved by the Board. Prudent standards are applied in the assessment of the security of
the Company’s key retrocessionaires. To manage its underwriting risk, the reinsurance subsidiary also complies with relevant guidelines
imposed by BNM in the underwriting of business.
(ii)Concentration of risk by type of business

35.Underwriting risk (cont’d)
(a)
General reinsurance (cont’d)
(iii)Reserving risk
The reinsurance subsidiary’s claim liabilities, and consequently some of the inputs used in determining its premium liabilities, are
based upon claims experience, existing knowledge of the events, the terms and conditions of relevant policies and interpretation of
circumstances. Upon notification of a claim by its cedants, the reinsurance subsidiary sets aside reserves to meet the expected ultimate
loss arising from this claim. These claim reserves are updated periodically for further developments via advice from cedants.
At each reporting date, the reinsurance subsidiary performs a test on the adequacy of its liabilities via the services of an independent
qualified external actuary engaged for the purpose of ensuring that claim and premium liabilities are objectively assessed and adequately
provided for. Any such deficiency is recognised in the income statement.
(iv)Impact on liabilities, profit and equity
Key assumptions
Liabilities are determined based upon claims experience, existing knowledge of events, the terms and conditions of the relevant contracts
and interpretation of circumstances. Particularly relevant are past experiences with similar cases, historical claims development trends,
legislative changes, judicial decisions and economic conditions.
The inherent uncertainties in estimating liabilities arises from a variety of factors such as the range and quality of data available,
underlying assumptions made and random volatility of future experience.
Sensitivity analysis
As a general reinsurer, the insurance contract liabilities of the reinsurance subsidiary are sensitive to various key factors which are both
internal and external. External factors to which the reinsurance subsidiary is sensitive to include:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Claims practices of ceding companies;
Frequency and severity of claims incurred by cedants;
Changes in premium rates in insurance and reinsurance markets; and
Legislative and regulatory changes.
The sensitivity analysis was applied to the ultimate loss ratio of the Company by increasing the said ratio of the most recent underwriting
year by 5%. The table below shows the impact on the Company’s gross and net claim liabilities, profit before tax and equity should the
ultimate loss ratio be increased by 5%:

This analysis assumes that other factors relevant, but not significant, to the valuation of claim liabilities remain constant.
(v)Claims development table
The following tables show the estimate of cumulative ultimate incurred claims, including both claims provisions and IBNR for each
successive underwriting year at each financial year end, along with cumulative claim payments to-date.
In setting provisions for claims, the reinsurance subsidiary relies on advice by its cedants and exercises discretion where the claim
may develop more adversely than advised. An estimate will be made in the absence of a reported figure or in the event the loss is still
preliminary and has not been fully assessed.
The estimates of the ultimate incurred claims are subject to a great deal of uncertainty in the early stages as claims are still being
intimated and developed, particularly so for large and catastrophic claims. These uncertainties reduce over time as the claims develop
and progress towards the ultimate cost.
Beginning 1 April 2009, the methodology used in the valuation of general reinsurance liabilities was changed. This change involved
a more granular segregation of the business of the Company into specific portfolios with the intention of achieving greater accuracy
in the estimation process. Accordingly, data pertaining to the gross general reinsurance liabilities prior to financial year ended
31 March 2009 was not available and hence only developments in gross general reinsurance liabilities for financial year ended
31 March 2009 onwards are disclosed.
The following tables have excluded the impact of specific large losses and other claims that management believes are not relevant for
purposes of establishing claims development trends.

General takaful fund
(i)Nature of risk
The takaful subsidiary principally issues the following types of general takaful contract: motor, household and commercial fire, business
interruption, personal accident, and other miscellaneous commercial contracts. Risks under these contracts usually cover a twelvemonth duration other than long term fire which may be extended up to thirty years or more and Contractors All Risks and Erection All
Risks which may be extended up to five years including maintenance period. For general takaful contracts, the most significant risks
arise from accident frequency and severity of the accident. These risks vary significantly in relation to the location of risk, type of risk
covered and industry.
The above risks are mitigated by diversification across a large portfolio of business and careful selection of risks. The variability of risks
is designed to improve the portfolio experience by implementation of underwriting strategies and claim management policies which
attempt to minimise losses.
The takaful subsidiary also manages its loss exposure by the use of retakaful arrangements. The retakaful treaty arrangements are
reviewed annually by the RMCB and approved by the Board.
Stress Testing (“ST”) is performed on a quarterly basis and submitted to BNM on a half-yearly basis. The purpose of the ST is to test the
solvency of the general takaful fund under the various scenarios according to regulatory guidelines, simulating drastic changes in major
parameters such as new business volume and investment environment.
(ii)Reserving risk
The general takaful fund’s claim liabilities, and consequently some of the inputs used in determining its contribution liabilities, are
based upon claims experience, existing knowledge of the events, the terms and conditions of relevant certificates and interpretation of
circumstances. Upon notification of a claim, the takaful subsidiary sets aside case and technical reserves to meet the expected ultimate
loss arising from this claim. These claim reserves are updated periodically for further developments.
At each reporting date, the takaful subsidiary performs a valuation of liabilities that is certified by the Signing Actuary for the purpose
of ensuring that claim and contribution liabilities are objectively assessed and adequately provided for. Any deficiency is recognised in
the income statement.

All business of the general takaful fund is derived in Malaysia; accordingly, disclosure of concentration risk by geographical region is not
relevant to the general takaful fund.
Key assumptions
The principal assumption underlying the estimation of liabilities is that the takaful subsidiary’s future claims development will follow a
pattern similar to the historical trend experience.
Additional qualitative judgements are used to assess the extent to which past trends may not apply in the future, for example, isolated
occurrence, changes in market factors such as public attitude to claims notification and reporting, economic conditions, as well as
internal factors such as portfolio mix, policy conditions and claims handling procedures. Judgement is further used to assess the extent
to which external factors, such as judicial decisions and government legislation affect the estimates.
Other key circumstances affecting the reliability of assumptions include delays in settlement.
192
– 31 March 2015
(b)
The general takaful claim liabilities are sensitive to the key assumptions shown below. It has not been possible to quantify the sensitivity
of certain assumptions such as legislative changes or uncertainty in the estimation process.
The analysis below is performed on possible movements in key assumptions with all other assumptions held constant, showing the
impact on gross and net liabilities, surplus before tax and general takaful fund. The correlation of assumptions will have a significant
effect in determining the ultimate claim liabilities, however, to demonstrate the impact due to changes in assumptions, only individual
factor is changed, while other assumptions are held constant. It should be noted that movements in these assumptions are non-linear.
The sensitivity analysis has been performed for the main classes of business which are Motor Act and Motor Others. Motor Act is
stressed using changes in claim severity; while Motor Others is tested by considering a stressed ultimate loss ratio level.

* The impact on general takaful fund reflects the after tax impact.
The method used in performing the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the prior year.
The following tables show the estimate of cumulative incurred claims, including both claims reported and IBNR (including IBNER) for
each successive accident year at each reporting date, together with cumulative payments to-date.
In setting provisions for claims, the takaful subsidiary gives consideration to the probability and magnitude of future experience at best
estimate level with a degree of caution in setting reserves when there is considerable uncertainty. In general, the uncertainty associated
with the ultimate claims experience for an accident year is greatest when the claim is at an early stage of development; hence the
provision for risk margin for adverse deviation is relatively higher than the provision for claims at a later development period. As the
claims develop and the ultimate cost of claims becomes more certain, the relative level of margin maintained should decrease.

(c)Family takaful fund
(i)Nature of risk
The takaful subsidiary principally issues the following types of family takaful certificate: Ordinary Takaful Plans, Mortgage Takaful Plans,
Group Takaful Plans and Investment-linked Takaful Plans.
Family takaful underwriting risk exists from the anti-selection and adequacy of tabarru’ to meet future claims arising from family takaful
certificates. The risks arise when actual claims experience is different from the assumptions used in setting the prices for products and
establishing the technical provisions and liabilities for claims. Sources of risk include certificate lapses and certificate claims such as
mortality and morbidity and experience.
The takaful subsidiary utilises retakaful arrangement to manage the mortality and morbidity risks. Retakaful structures are set based on
the type of risks to be recovered.
The takaful subsidiary reviews the actual experience of mortality, morbidity, lapses and surrenders, as well as expenses to ensure that
appropriate policies, guidelines and limits put in place to manage these risks remain adequate and effective.
The family takaful funds are participating in nature. In the event of volatile investment climate and/or unusual claims experience, the
investment profit and surplus distribution to the participants may be reduced.
For investment-linked funds, the risk exposure for the participant’s risk fund is limited only to the underwriting aspect as all investment
risks are borne by the participants.
Stress Testing (“ST”) is performed on a quarterly basis and submitted to BNM on a half-yearly basis. The purpose of the ST is to test the
solvency of the family takaful fund under the various scenarios according to regulatory guidelines, simulating drastic changes in major
parameters such as new business volume, investment environment, mortality/morbidity patterns and lapse rates.

All business of the family takaful fund is derived from participants in Malaysia; accordingly, disclosure of concentration risk by
geographical region is not relevant to the family takaful fund.
(iii) Key assumptions
Material judgement is required in determining the liabilities of the family takaful fund and in the selection of assumptions. Assumptions
used are based on past experience, current internal data, external market indices and benchmarks which reflect current observable
market prices and other published information. Assumptions and prudent estimates are determined at the date of valuation and no
credit is taken for possible beneficial effects of voluntary withdrawals. Assumptions are further evaluated on a continuous basis in order
to ensure realistic and reasonable valuations.
The key assumptions to which the estimation of liabilities is particularly sensitive are as follows:
Mortality and morbidity rates
Assumptions are based on mortality rates as set out in the Actuarial Certificate submitted to BNM. They reflect the historical local
experience and are adjusted, when appropriate, to reflect the participants’ own experience. Assumptions are differentiated by gender,
occupational class and product group.
An increase in rates will lead to a larger number of claims (as claims could occur sooner than anticipated), which will reduce the surplus
from the Risk Fund and subsequently reduce profits for the shareholders in terms of lower surplus administration charge income. To the
extent that mortality/morbidity is worse than that priced for, profitability of shareholder’s fund may be affected and may in a worst case
scenario, lead to possible Risk Fund deficit. This is mitigated with adequate retakaful arrangement as well as contract design (in some
circumstances) that builds in repricing mechanisms.
Discount rates
Family takaful liabilities of credit-related products (Mortgage Reducing Term Takaful (“MRTT”) and Group Credit Takaful (“GCT”)) are
determined as the sum of the discounted value of the expected benefits less the discounted value of the expected tabarru’ (risk charge)
that would be required to meet these future cash outflows. The valuation of liabilities will be discounted to valuation date using the
government investment issues zero coupon spot yields which are obtained from the Bond Pricing Agency Malaysia rates as prescribed
in the valuation guidelines.
A decrease in the discount rate will increase the value of the family takaful liabilities and therefore reduce profits for the shareholders
in terms of lower surplus administration charge income.

(iv)Sensitivity analysis
The analysis below is performed for reasonably possible movements in key assumptions with all other assumptions held constant,
showing the impact on gross and net liabilities, surplus before tax and family takaful fund. The correlations of assumptions will have a
significant effect in determining the ultimate family takaful liabilities but to demonstrate the impact due to changes in assumptions,
assumptions are changed on an individual basis. It should be noted that movements in these assumptions are non-linear. Sensitivity
information will also vary according to the current economic assumptions.

General retakaful fund
During the financial year ended 31 March 2015, the Management has decided to undergo a consolidation exercise and to review its business
portfolio. This would include temporarily not writing and renewing the general business, as well as cleaning up the outstanding contributions
and claims balances. This decision was taken with a view to further strengthen the retakaful subsidiary’s capital position.
(i)Nature of risk
For general retakaful, the most significant risks arise from adverse development of the loss ratios and catastrophic loss events. These
risks vary significantly in relation to economic conditions and territories from which the risk originates.
The retakaful subsidiary also manages the general retakaful fund’s loss exposure via the use of retrotakaful arrangements. The
retrotakaful arrangements are reviewed annually by the RMCB and approved by the Board.
Stress testing is performed on a quarterly basis and submitted to BNM twice a year. The purpose of the stress testing is to test the
solvency of the general retakaful fund under various scenarios. These scenarios are based on regulatory guidelines and simulate drastic
changes in major parameters such as new business volume, claims experience and investment environment.
(ii)Reserving risk
The general retakaful fund’s claim liabilities, and consequently some of the inputs used in determining its contribution liabilities, are
based upon claims experience, existing knowledge of the events, the terms and conditions of relevant certificates and interpretation
of circumstances. Upon notification of a claim, the retakaful subsidiary sets aside case and technical reserves to meet the expected
ultimate loss arising from this claim. These claim reserves are updated periodically for further developments.
At each reporting date, the retakaful subsidiary performs a test on the adequacy of its liabilities via the services of an independent
qualified external actuary engaged for the purpose of ensuring that claim and premium liabilities are objectively assessed and adequately
provided for. Any such deficiency is recognised in the income statement.
(iii)Concentration of takaful contract liabilities

Key assumptions
Additional qualitative judgements are used to assess the extent to which past trends may not apply in the future, for example, isolated
occurrences, changes in market factors such as public attitude to claims notification and reporting, economic conditions, as well as
internal factors, such as portfolio mix, policy conditions and claims handling procedures. Judgement is further used to assess the extent
to which external factors, such as judicial decisions and government legislation affect the estimates.
Other key circumstances affecting the reliability of assumptions include variation in profit rates and delays in settlement.

– 31 March 2015
(d)
The general retakaful fund’s claim liabilities are sensitive to changes in the loss ratio especially in the event of large or catastrophic
claims. However, as the business is still relatively new, the amount of information available to conduct a sensitivity analysis is limited.
The sensitivity analysis was applied to the ultimate loss ratio of the general retakaful fund by increasing the said ratio by 5%. The
ultimate loss ratios of Fire and Marine, Aviation & Transit classes of business for the most recent underwriting year and the ultimate
loss ratios of Motor and Miscellaneous classes of business for all underwriting years were increased by 5%. The table below shows the
impact on the general retakaful fund’s gross and net claim liabilities, surplus before tax and general retakaful fund should the ultimate
loss ratio be increased by 5%:

The following tables show the estimate of cumulative ultimate incurred claims, including both claims provisions and IBNR for each
successive underwriting year at each financial year end, along with cumulative claim payments to-date.
In setting provisions for claims, the Company relies on advice by the cedants and exercises discretion where the claim may develop
more adversely than advised. An estimate will be made in the absence of a reported figure or in the event the loss is still preliminary and
has not been fully assessed. The estimates of the ultimate incurred claims are subject to a great deal of uncertainty in the early stages
as claims are still being intimated and developed, particularly so for large and catastrophic claims. These uncertainties reduce over time
as the claims develop and progress towards the ultimate cost.

(e)Family retakaful fund
During the financial year ended 31 March 2015, the Management has decided to undergo a consolidation exercise and to review its business
portfolio. This would include temporarily not writing and renewing the family business, as well as cleaning up the outstanding contributions
and claims balances. This decision was taken with a view to further strengthen the retakaful subsidiary’s capital position.
(i)Nature of risk
The retakaful subsidiary principally underwrites the following types of family retakaful business: Individual Family Retakaful Plans,
Group Family Retakaful Plans, Individual Medical Retakaful Plans and Retakaful Individual Facultative.
Family retakaful underwriting risk relates to the pricing and loss ratios arising from family retakaful products. The risks arise when actual
claims experience is different from the assumptions used in setting the yearly renewable term fees for retakaful products. Deviations
in actual claims experience compared to the assumptions used may be due to deviations in actual mortality and morbidity experience.
The retakaful subsidiary utilises retrotakaful to manage mortality and morbidity risks.
The retakaful subsidiary reviews the actual experience of mortality and morbidity to ensure that appropriate policies, guidelines and
limits put in place to manage these risks remain adequate and appropriate.
Stress testing is performed on a quarterly basis and submitted to BNM on a half-yearly basis. The purpose of the stress testing is to
test the solvency of the family retakaful fund under various scenarios. These scenarios are based on regulatory guidelines and simulate
drastic changes in major parameters such as new business volume, investment environment and mortality/morbidity patterns.

(iii)Impact on liabilities, profit and equity
Key assumptions
Material judgement is required in determining the liabilities and in the choice of assumptions. Assumptions in use are based on past
experience, current internal data, external market indices and benchmarks which reflect current observable market prices and other
published information. Assumptions and prudent estimates are determined at the date of valuation and no credit is taken for possible
beneficial effects of voluntary withdrawals. Assumptions are further evaluated on a continuous basis in order to ensure realistic and
reasonable valuations.
The estimation of liabilities is particularly sensitive to the assumption of loss ratios due to the nature of the pricing of family retakaful
products which are based on yearly renewable terms.
The family retakaful fund’s claim liabilities are sensitive to changes in loss ratios. However, as the business is still relatively new, the
amount of information available to conduct a sensitivity analysis is limited.
Due to limited information, the sensitivity analysis was applied to the ultimate loss ratio of the family retakaful fund by increasing the
said ratio by 20%. The table below shows the impact on the family retakaful fund’s gross and net liabilities, surplus before tax and family
retakaful fund should the ultimate loss ratio be increased by 20%:

36.Financial risk (cont’d)
(a)Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss resulting from the failure of counterparties to reinsurance, takaful, retakaful and investment transactions
to meet their contractual obligations.
Credit risk includes the following major elements:
(i)
An investment credit risk which is the risk of financial loss arising from a change in the value of an investment due to a rating downgrade,
default, or widening of credit spreads. Changes in credit spreads are largely driven by the different economic cycles and operating cycles
while the less liquid securities tend to be priced at a wider spread. The liquidity of the securities is directly determined by its bid-to-ask spread;
(ii)
A derivative counterparty risk which is the risk of financial loss arising from a derivative counterparty’s default, or the deterioration of
the derivative counterparty’s financial position. As at the reporting date, the Group does not transact in derivatives and is not exposed
to this risk; and
(iii) Reinsurance/retakaful counterparty risk which is the risk of financial loss arising from a default by the retrocessionaire/retakaful
operator, or the deterioration of the solvency position of the retrocessionaire/retakaful operator.
The Group is exposed to investment credit risk on its investment portfolio, primarily from investments in corporate bonds. A creditworthiness
assessment for new and existing investments is undertaken by the Group in accordance with the Investment Policy as approved by the
Investment Committee. In addition, the credit ratings of the bond portfolio are regularly monitored and any downgrade in credit ratings
will be evaluated to determine the required actions. As at the reporting date, the Group’s bond portfolio has no material exposure below
investment grade.
The Group is exposed to reinsurance/retakaful counterparty risks of three different types:
(i)
as a result of recoveries owing from the retrocessionaire/retakaful operators for claims;
(ii)
from amounts due from ceding companies; and
(iii)
as a result of reserves held by the reinsurers and/or retakaful operators which would have to be met by the reinsurance and/or retakaful
subsidiaries in the event of default.
Management of credit risk
In order to manage and mitigate credit risk, the following policies and procedures were set in place:
(i)
Investment policies prescribe the minimum credit rating for bonds that may be held. In addition, the policies are further aimed at
investing in a diverse portfolio of bonds in order to reduce the potential impact that may arise from individual companies defaulting;
(ii)
Counterparty limits are set for investments and cash deposits to ensure that there is no concentration of credit risk;
(iii) The Group’s investment portfolio is managed to ensure diversification and focuses on high quality investment grade fixed income
securities and equity with good fundamentals. For the financial year ended 31 March 2015, the credit rating of the Group’s fixed
income portfolio was dominated by securities rated AAA as determined by Rating Agency Malaysia (“RAM”) and/or Malaysian Rating
Corporation Berhad (“MARC”); and
(iv)
To mitigate reinsurance/retakaful counterparty risk, the Group will give due consideration to the credit quality of the reinsurer/retakaful
operator. To facilitate this process, a list of acceptable reinsurers/retakaful operators based on their rating is maintained within the
Group. The Group regularly reviews the financial security of its reinsurers/retakaful operators.

(a)Credit Risk (cont’d)
Unearned premium and contribution reserves and reserves for unearned wakalah fees have been excluded from the analysis as they are not
contractual obligations.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not have sufficient cash resources available to meet its payment obligations without incurring
material additional costs.
As part of its liquidity management strategy, the Group has in place a framework capable of measuring and reporting on:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
daily cash flows;
minimum liquidity holdings;
the composition and market values of company’s investment portfolios, including liquid holdings; and
the holding of liquid assets in the respective reinsurance, takaful and retakaful funds.
In order to manage the liquidity of the reinsurance/takaful/retakaful funds, the investment mandate requires that a certain proportion of the
fund is maintained as liquid assets. Accordingly, the Group is required to maintain a minimum holding of low risk assets between 10% and
15% and no maximum limit on its placements in fixed and call deposits.
Maturity Profiles
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the financial assets and liabilities of the Group based on remaining undiscounted
contractual obligations, including interest payable and receivable. For insurance and takaful contract liabilities and reinsurance and retakaful
assets, maturity profiles are determined based on estimated timing of net cash outflows from the recognised insurance/takaful liabilities.
Unearned premium and contribution reserves and reserves for unearned wakalah fees have been excluded from the analysis as they are not
contractual obligations.

Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from a change in the values of, or the income from, assets. A risk of loss also arises from volatility in asset
prices, interest/profit rates, or exchange rates. Market risk includes the following elements:
(i)
Equity price risk which is the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument arising from stock market
dynamics impacting equity prices;
(ii)
Foreign exchange risk which is the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument arising from a
movement of or volatility in exchange rates; and
(iii) Interest/profit rate risk which is the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument arising from
variability in interest/profit rates.
Equity price risk
Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument fluctuates because of changes in market prices (other than those arising
from interest rate/profit yield risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument
or its issuer or factors affecting similar financial instruments traded in the market.
The Group’s equity risk exposures relates to financial assets and financial liabilities whose values will fluctuate as a result of changes in market
prices.
The Group’s price risk policy requires it to manage such risks by setting and monitoring objectives and constraints on investments,
diversification plans, limits on investments in each sector, market and issuer, having regard also to such limits as stipulated by BNM for its
reinsurance, takaful and retakaful subsidiaries. The Group complied with such limits as stipulated by BNM during the financial year and has no
significant concentration of price risk.
The analysis below is performed for reasonably possible movements in key variables with all other variables held constant, showing the impact
on profit before tax and equity (inclusive of the impact on other comprehensive income). The correlation of variables have a significant effect in
determining the ultimate impact on price risk, but to demonstrate the impact due to changes in variables, changes in variables are considered
individually. It should be noted that movements in these variables are non-linear. The equities under the investment-linked fund were excluded
from the sensitivity analysis as the risks associated with the fluctuations in market prices of the equities are borne by the unitholders.

Management is of the opinion that the Company is not subject to significant equity price risk and, hence, a sensitivity analysis has not been
performed.
Foreign exchange risk/currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to volatility in foreign exchange rates.
The Group’s business is conducted primarily in Malaysia and the Group’s functional and presentation currency is Malaysian Ringgit. As the
growth of business outside Malaysia increases, the Group’s main foreign exchange risk arises primarily from recognised assets and liabilities
resulting from reinsurance and retakaful transactions of the reinsurance and retakaful subsidiaries. These balances are expected to be
settled and realised on net basis within 12 months; accordingly, the impact arising from sensitivity in foreign exchange rates is deemed to be
manageable.
Interest/profit rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest/profit rate risk as follows: (i) fair values of fixed interest/profit-bearing assets would move inversely to
changes in interest/profit rates; and (ii) future cash flows of variable interest/profit-bearing assets would move in direct proportion to changes
in rates.
The earnings of the Group are affected by changes in market interest/profit rates due to the impact such changes have on interest/profit
income from cash and cash equivalents, including investments in fixed/Islamic deposits. The fixed income portfolio is inversely related to
profit rates and, hence, it is the source of portfolio volatility.
The Group manages its interest/profit rate risk by matching, where possible, the duration and profile of assets and liabilities to minimise the
impact of mismatches between the value of assets and liabilities from interest/profit rate movements.
The nature of the Group’s exposure to interest/profit rate risk and its objectives, policies and processes for managing interest/profit rate risk
have not changed significantly from the previous financial year.

37.Other risks
(a)Property Risk
Property risk is the risk associated with the Group’s investment in property or real estate for own occupancy, investment or rental purpose.
The Operational Risk of the Group’s Property is detailed in operational manuals that describe the responsibilities in relation to management
of the properties to maintain quality and satisfied tenants.
The financial risk arising from a delinquent or loss of tenants are managed at the outset through careful selection of properties with high
tenancy including tenants with long term tenancies and a continuous maintenance and upgrade of facilities.
The Group has no significant exposure to property risk.
(b)Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from process and system failure, human error, specific loss events or external events. When controls
fail to perform, operational risks can cause damage to the reputation of the Group, have legal or regulatory implications or can lead to
financial loss. The Group cannot expect to eliminate all operational risks, but by initiating a rigorous control framework and by monitoring
and responding to potential risks, the Group is able to minimise risks to an acceptable level. Controls include effective segregation of duties,
effective access controls, authorisation and reconciliation procedures, continuous staff education and appropriate assessment processes,
including the use of internal audit.
223
– 31 March 2015
37.Other risks (cont’d)
(c)Shariah Risk
Shariah risk is defined as potential Shariah non-compliance that contributes to adverse reputation, financial losses and opportunity costs
resulting from ineffective governance, incompetent employees and improper transactional and operational execution. The Group mitigates
such risk by initiating, monitoring and responding to a robust Shariah control framework which includes the establishment of a Shariah
Committee, Shariah Department and/or Shariah Compliance Officer for monitoring and oversight purposes.
The framework is guided by the Shariah Governance Framework issued by BNM which is designed to meet the following objectives:
(i)
sets out the expectations of BNM on the Group’s Shariah governance structures, processes and arrangements to ensure that all its
operations and business activities are in accordance with Shariah;
(ii)
provides a comprehensive guidance to the Board, Shariah Committee and management of the Group in discharging its duties in matters
relating to Shariah; and
(iii)
outlines the functions relating to Shariah review, Shariah Audit, Shariah Risk management and Shariah research.
(d)Compliance Risk
Compliance risk is the risk arising from violations of, or non conformance with, business principles, internal policies and procedures, related
laws and rules and regulations governing the Group’s products, services and activities.
Consequently, the exposure to this risk can damage the Group’s reputation, lead to legal or regulatory sanctions and/or financial loss.
The Group has established a Compliance Division at the Group and subsidiary level to oversee and monitor all compliance aspects in observing
regulatory requirements. In this respect, it has developed internal policies and procedures to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and
guidelines issued by the regulatory authorities.

39.Significant events
The Company, in the previous financial year, had made disclosures on the notices of assessment and notices of additional assessment (i.e. Form J
and Form JA) for the years of assessment 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, issued by the Inland Revenue Board (“IRB”) to its wholly owned subsidiary
Takaful IKHLAS Berhad (“Takaful IKHLAS”), disallowing Family business’ commission expenses as deductions against the earning of wakalah fee
income. The additional tax payable by Takaful IKHLAS under the said notices was RM48,982,970. In addition, the IRB had also imposed a penalty of
RM22,042,336 as the tax returns by Takaful IKHLAS for those years were regarded as incorrect.
Takaful IKHLAS received a confirmation from the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) subsequently, granting an exemption of tax on the wakalah fee income
of the shareholder’s fund received from the family takaful fund for the years of assessment 2004 to 2014.
With MOF’s above exemption, the total instalment payments made to date to the IRB which amounted to RM18,239,672 would be receivable
from the IRB. This amount has been reduced following the set off made against the tax payable for the previous year of assessment amounting
to RM7,323,348. Takaful IKHLAS is currently pursuing the recovery of the remaining balance from the IRB through the Special Commissioners of
Income Tax.
In addition to the amount receivable from IRB of RM10,916,324, the Takaful IKHLAS had revised the tax computations for years of assessment 2010
to 2014 based on the letter from MOF. This had resulted in tax recoverable of RM12,200,831 from the IRB which had been recognised in the current
financial year. Takaful IKHLAS is pursuing this matter with the IRB.
40.Fair values of assets
MFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“MFRS 7”) requires the classification of financial instruments measured at fair value according to
a hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements, in particular, whether the inputs used are observable or
unobservable. MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement requires similar disclosure requirements as MFRS 7, but extended these requirements to include all
assets and liabilities measured and/or disclosed at fair value. The following levels of hierarchy are used for determining and disclosing the fair value
of the Group and of the Company’s assets:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs that are based on observable market data, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data
The fair values of the Group and Company’s assets are determined as follows:
(i)
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities, such as loans and receivables, insurance/takaful receivables, cash and bank
balances, insurance/takaful payables and other payables, are reasonable approximation of their fair values due to the relatively short term
maturity of these balances;
(ii)
The fair values of quoted equities are based on quoted market prices as at the reporting date;
(iii) The fair values of Malaysian government securities, government investment issues and unquoted corporate debt securities are based on
indicative market prices from the Bond Pricing Agency of Malaysia (“BPAM”);
(iv)
The fair values of investments in mutual funds, unit trust funds and real estate investment trusts are valued based on the net asset values of
the underlying funds as at the reporting date; and
(v)
Freehold land and buildings and investment property have been revalued based on valuations performed by an accredited independent valuer
having an appropriate recognised professional qualification. The valuations are based on the income method. In arriving at the fair value of
the assets, the valuer had also taken into consideration the future developments in terms of infrastructure in the vicinity of the properties.

A significant increase or decrease in the unobservable inputs used in the valuation would result in a correspondingly higher or lower fair value.
There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the financial year.
