GROUP PERFORMANCE For financial year ended 31 December 2015, the Group posted a revenue of RM87.7 million, a 96.6% surge from RM44.6 million reported last year. In turn, profit before tax rose by 421% to RM18.6 million, from RM3.57 million reported in the preceding financial year. The improved sales performance was significantly contributed by property development activities. The Company has mobilized the development of its maiden property development project “City of Dreams” with piling and substructure works and the project is expected to be completed in 2020. The Group is continuing its efforts to seek and to establish synergistic partnerships through joint ventures and expanding its land banks. CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS The Company did not have any corporate exercise during the financial year. PROSPECTS The gross domestic product growth in Malaysia for 2015 was at 5%, a decrease from 6% in year 2014 which is mainly affected by the slowdown in domestic demand from tighter fiscal conditions. Residential property prices and sales volume will likely to be subdued following the various cooling measures implemented. With a greater pool of affordable housing coming into the market in the next few years, 2016 will be a challenging year for the residential property market. Despite the downturn, the Group had demonstrated a great return in year 2015. The Board is committed to the creation of a stable platform for future development in an effort to bring greater value to the Group and its shareholders. DIVIDENDS The Board of Directors is pleased to recommend a first and final single tier dividend of half sen per share in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2015, amounting to RM1,108,534.43 million subject to the approval of the shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. 03 04 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (CONT’D) APPRECIATION The Board bade farewell to our former Independent Non-Executive Directors, Mr Lau Tiang Hua, DJN and Tan Sri Dato’ Wong See Wah who retired at the last Annual General Meeting of the Company and recorded our sincere appreciation to them for their invaluable guidance, advice and support to the Company. At the same time, the Board is pleased to welcome their new directors, Ms Ewe Lay Khim and Mr Tan Yen Yeow who were appointed as a NonIndependent Non-Executive Director and Independent Non-Executive Director respectively on 27 May 2015. I would also like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks to my fellow directors for their collective wisdom, sound judgement and practical advice in the past year. I would also like to thank our employees for their dedication, loyalty and hard work to sustain the profitability of the Group. Last but not least on behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our shareholders, bankers and regulatory bodies for your continued support during these challenging times.

It recognizes that principles of good corporate governance and business integrity are fundamental to the goals of enhancing shareholder value and protecting the interests of all stakeholders. The Board is pleased to provide the following statement, which outlines the primary corporate governance practices consistently adopted by the Group. Principle 1 Establish clear roles and responsibilities Composition of the Board/Board Balance The Board currently consists of seven (7) members; comprising three (3) Non-Independent and Non-Executive Directors, two (2) Executive Directors and two (2) Independent Non-Executive Directors. The Board consists of members from a wide range of discipline and background, providing in-depth and diversity in experience to the Group’s operations. The Board takes cognizance of the Chairman being not an Independent Director but of the view that there are sufficient experiences and Independent non-Executive Directors on Board to provide assurance that there is adequate check and balance. All Independent Non-Executive Directors are free from any business dealings and other relationships with the Group and therefore play a crucial role in corporate accountability with their independent, unbiased views, advice and judgment in the decision making process. With Dato’ Seri Ewe Tiong Hor as the Group Non-Independent Non-Executive Chairman and Dato’ Ewe Swee Kheng as the Group Managing Director, there is a clear division of responsibilities between these roles to ensure a balance of power and authority. Furthermore, the complement of Non-Executive Directors provides an effective Board with a mix of industry-specific knowledge, technical and commercial experience. This balance enables the Board to provide a clear and effective leadership to the Company and to bring informed and independent judgment to various aspects of the Company’s strategies and performance. The Independent Non-Executive Directors further strengthen the Board in providing unbiased and independent views, advice and judgement. They also contribute to the formulation of policies and decision-making though their expertise and experience. A brief profile of each Director is presented on page 5 to page 9 of this Annual Report.

Principle 3 Reinforce Independence Assessment of Independent Directors The Board recognizes the importance of independence and objectivity in the decision making process. The Board and its Nominating Committee in their annual assessment concluded that each of the two Independent Non-Executive Directors continue to demonstrate conduct and behavior that are essential indicators of independence. Each of them continues to fulfil the definitions and criteria of independence as set out in Bursa Malaysia Main Market Listing Requirements. Tenure of Independent Directors The Board is of the opinion that the composition is balanced and in compliance with the Bursa Malaysia Main Market Listing Requirements. The Nominating Committee had also assessed the independency of Dato’ Khor Ah Hua @ Khor Choo Fong (“Dato’ Khor”) who is going to serve more than 9 years as an independent director of the Company. STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (CONT’D) Principle 3 Reinforce Independence (Cont'd) Tenure of Independent Directors (Cont'd) The Nominating Committee upon its assessment carried out is satisfied that Dato’ Khor has satisfactorily demonstrated that he is independent from the management and free from any business dealings with the Group that could be perceived to interfere in his exercised of independent judgement. The Board took note of recommendation of the Code but immediate compliance with the said recommendation posed a disadvantage to the Company in terms of losing an experienced independent director who over the years had contributed to the effectiveness of the Board as a whole. Nevertheless, Dato’ Khor will be seeking shareholders’ approval on his re-appointment as an independent director at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. In view thereof, the Board recommends and supports his reappointment as an independent non-executive director of the Company at the forthcoming 10th Annual General Meeting of the Company. Chairman and Managing Director to be held by different Individuals The positions of the Chairman and the Managing Director are held by two different individuals in line with the Code’s Recommendations. There is a clear division of responsibility between the Non-Executive Chairman and the Managing Director to ensure that there is a balance of power and authority. The Chairman is responsible for leading the Board and ensuring its effectiveness whilst the Managing Director is responsible for running the Group’s business. Chairman to be a Non-Executive Director The Chairman of the Company, Dato’ Seri Ewe Tiong Hor is a Non-Executive Director of the Board but is not an independent director. The Board is aware that it is not in compliance with the best practices of the Code which recommends that the Chairman of a company shall be a non-executive independent director. However, the Board is satisfied with the Chairman in view of his experience and knowledge. The presence of the two existing Independent Directors is sufficient to provide the required checks and balances on the decision making process of the Board. The significant contributions of the Independent Directors in the decision making process is evidenced in their participation as members of the various committees of the Board. Principle 4 Foster Commitment The Board recognizes the need for the directors to spend sufficient time and efforts in carrying out their responsibilities, thus each director is expected to commit sufficient time in attending meetings for the Board, Board Committees as well as external trainings to enhance their professional skills.

Under Recommendation 4.1 of the Code, the Board should stipulate the expectations of time commitment for members who accept a new directorship. The Protocol requires the Directors to notify the Chairman before accepting any new directorship. This information will be shared with the Board, together with a quarterly update by individual Directors on their directorships and shareholdings in Bursa Malaysia, to confirm the Board members’ commitment in devoting sufficient time to carry out their responsibilities.

The statement outlines the scope of internal control within the Group. The Board recognises the importance of a sound system of internal controls and an effective risk management framework to good corporate governance. The Board also acknowledges its responsibility for maintaining a sound system of internal controls, and for reviewing its adequacy and integrity. The Board of Directors is committed to maintaining a system of internal controls which covers financial, operational and compliance controls as well as risk management to achieve the following objectives: • Safeguard assets of the Group and shareholders’ interest; • Identify and manage risks affecting the Group; • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements; and • Ensure operational results are closely monitored. However, the Board recognises that reviewing the Group’s system of internal controls is a concerted and on-going process, designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to comply with the Group’s policies and to achieve business objectives. In pursuing these objectives, internal control can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatements or losses. In striving for continuous improvement, the Board will put in place appropriate action plans, when necessary, to further enhance the Group’s system of internal controls. Internal Control The Group’s system of internal controls comprises the following key elements: • Organisational structure and accountability levels Key responsibilities and lines of accountability within the Group are defined, with clear reporting lines up to the Senior Management of the Group and to the Board of Directors of the Company. The Group’s delegation of authority sets out the decisions that need to be taken and the appropriate authority levels of Management including matters that require Board approval. • Control procedures Operating Procedures Manual that sets out certain policies and procedures are maintained by certain companies in the Group which were awarded the ISO 9001:2000 accreditation to ensure that accountability and standard control procedures are in place. STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL (CONT’D) Internal Audit The Group has engaged an external independent service provider firm (“the firm”) to carry out its internal audit functions. During the financial year ended 31 December 2015, the firm had conducted an assessment of the risks applicable to the operating subsidiaries of the Group. Risks are assessed in terms of their likelihood and impact to the organisation. In addition, the firm had conducted internal audits on four of its operating subsidiaries. Arising from the audit performed, the firm highlighted to the Management certain areas for improvement. The firm had also presented their reports to the Audit Committee for deliberation. In turn, the Audit Committee had also reported to the Board of Directors the internal audit findings, the recommendations for improvements and the response from Management thereto. The Board is of the view that there were no significant breakdowns or weaknesses in the system of internal controls of the Group that resulted in material losses incurred by the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 and the internal control system in place is effective up to the date of approval of this statement. The Group will continue to take the necessary measures to ensure that the system of internal controls is in place and functioning effectively in all material aspects. Risk Management Framework For long-term viability of the Group, it is crucial to achieve a critical balance between risks incurred and potential returns. Taking cognizance of this, the Board has been mandated to drive the risk management process whilst focusing on the critical business agenda of the Group. The Board, through the internal audits conducted, strives to develop and implement internal controls at appropriate levels of the organisation. The Group through the management meetings between the Deputy Managing Director and head of departments, identifies and manages any operational risks faced by the Group. The Board has received assurance from the Managing Director and Group Finance Manager that the Group’s risk management and internal control system is operating adequately and effectively, in all material aspects based on the risk management and internal control system adopted.

Directors’ benefits Since the end of the previous financial year, no Director of the Company has received nor become entitled to receive any benefit (other than a benefit included in the aggregate amount of emoluments received or due and receivable by Directors as shown in the financial statements or the fixed salary of a full time employee of certain related corporations) by reason of a contract made by the Company or a related corporation with the Director or with a firm of which the Director is a member, or with a company in which the Director has a substantial financial interest other than as disclosed in Note 26 to the financial statements. There were no arrangements during and at the end of the financial year which had the object of enabling Directors of the Company to acquire benefits by means of the acquisition of shares in or debentures of the Company or any other body corporate except where the benefit is acquired through the Company’s warrants as disclosed in the financial statements. Issue of shares and debentures There were no changes in the authorised, issued and paid-up capital of the Company other than the issuance of 655,194 new ordinary shares of RM0.50 each arising from the exercise of warrants at an exercise price of RM0.61 per ordinary share.

The warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for new ordinary shares in the Company on the basis of one new ordinary share of RM0.50 each for every warrant held at an exercise price of RM0.61 per ordinary share within 5 years from the date of the issue of the warrants. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the conditions stipulated in the Deed Poll created on 22 May 2012.

Other statutory information Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps to ascertain that : i) all known bad debts have been written off and adequate provision made for doubtful debts, and ii) any current assets which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business have been written down to an amount which they might be expected so to realise. At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances : i) that would render the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the Group and in the Company inadequate to any substantial extent, or ii) that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading, or iii) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate, or iv) not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements that would render any amount stated in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading. DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 (CONT’D) Other statutory information (Cont'd) At the date of this report, there does not exist : i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year and which secures the liabilities of any other person, or ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year. No contingent liability or other liability of any company in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and of the Company to meet their obligations as and when they fall due.

Basis of preparation (Cont'd) (b) Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis other than as disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements. (c) Functional and presentation currency These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information is presented in RM, unless otherwise stated. (d) Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements other than those disclosed in the following notes : • • • • 2. Note 4 - Investment properties; Note 9.2 - Recognition of property development revenue and expenses; Note 17 - Deferred tax assets/(liabilities); and Note 30.4 - Credit risk (financial guarantees) Significant accounting policies Except for the change as disclosed below, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policy to all periods presented in these financial statements. In 2015, the Company early adopted MFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers with a date of initial application of 1 January 2015. MFRS 15 replaces the guidance in MFRS 11, Construction Contracts, MFRS 18, Revenue, IC Interpretation 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes, IC Interpretation 15, Agreements for Construction of Real Estate, IC Interpretation 18, Transfer of Assets from Customers and IC Interpretation 131, Revenue - Barter Transactions involving Advertising Services. The effects of early adoption of MFRS 15 are set out in Note 36. 53 54 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. (CONT'D) Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (a) Basis of consolidation (i)Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities, including structured entities, controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Potential voting rights are considered when assessing control only when such rights are substantive. The Group also considers it has de facto power over an investee when, despite not having the majority of voting rights, it has the current ability to direct the activities of the investee that significantly affect the investee’s return. Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less any impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of investments includes transaction costs. (ii) Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method from the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. For new acquisitions, the Group measures the cost of goodwill at the acquisition date as : • the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus • the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus • if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less • the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 2. Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (a) Basis of consolidation (Cont'd) (iii) Acquisitions of non-controlling interests The Group accounts for all changes in its ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control as equity transactions between the Group and its non-controlling interest holders. Any difference between the Group’s share of net assets before and after the change, and any consideration received or paid, is adjusted to or against Group reserves. (iv) Loss of control Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the former subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the former subsidiary from the consolidated statement of financial position. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the former subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained. (v)Associates Associates are entities, including unincorporated entities, in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method less any impairment losses, unless it is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associates, after adjustments if any, to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of that interest including any long-term investments is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the associate. When the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate, any retained interest in the former associate at the date when significant influence is lost is measured at fair value and this amount is regarded as the initial carrying amount of a financial asset. The difference between the fair value of any retained interest plus proceeds from the interest disposed of and the carrying amount of the investment at the date when equity method is discontinued is recognised in the profit or loss. 55 56 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. (CONT'D) Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (a) Basis of consolidation (Cont'd) (v) Associates (Cont'd) When the Group’s interest in an associate decreases but does not result in a loss of significant influence, any retained interest is not remeasured. Any gain or loss arising from the decrease in interest is recognised in profit or loss. Any gains or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income are also reclassified proportionately to profit or loss if that gain or loss would be required to be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities. Investments in associates are measured in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less any impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of investment includes transaction costs. (vi) Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the equity holders of the Company, are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the owners of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group is presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or loss and the comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and owners of the Company. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance. (vii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted associates are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investees. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 2. Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (b) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of the reporting date, except for those that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments or a financial instrument designated as a hedge of currency risk, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. In the consolidated financial statements, when settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. (c) Financial instruments (i) Initial recognition and measurement A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group or the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial instrument is recognised initially, at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument. 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 fair value through profit or loss. The host contract, in the event an embedded derivative is recognised separately, is accounted for in accordance with policy applicable to the nature of the host contract. 57 58 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. (CONT'D) Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (c) Financial instruments (Cont'd) (ii) Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement The Group and the Company categorise financial instruments as follows: Financial assets (a) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables category comprises debt instruments that are not quoted in an active market. Financial assets categorised as loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (b) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale category comprises investment in equity and debt securities instruments that are not held for trading. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost. Other financial assets categorised as available-for-sale are subsequently measured at their fair values with the gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from monetary items and gains and losses of hedged items attributable to hedge risks of fair value hedges which are recognised in profit or loss. On derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity into profit or loss. Interest calculated for a debt instrument using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss. All financial assets are subject to review for impairment (see Note 2(f)(i)). Financial liabilities All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 2. Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (c) Financial instruments (Cont'd) (iii) Financial guarantee contracts A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Fair value arising from financial guarantee contracts are classified as deferred income and is amortised to profit or loss using a straight-line method over the contractual period or, when there is no specified contractual period, recognised in profit or loss upon discharge of the guarantee. When settlement of a financial guarantee contract becomes probable, an estimate of the obligation is made. If the carrying value of the financial guarantee contract is lower than the obligation, the carrying value is adjusted to the obligation amount and accounted for as a provision. (iv) Regular way purchase or sale of financial assets A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using trade date accounting. Trade date accounting refers to: (a) the recognition of an asset to be received and the liability to pay for it on the trade date, and (b)derecognition of an asset that is sold, recognition of any gain or loss on disposal and the recognition of a receivable from the buyer for payment on the trade date. (v)Derecognition A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or control of the asset is not retained or substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred to another party. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in the profit or loss. 59 60 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. (CONT'D) Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (c) Financial instruments (Cont'd) (v) Derecognition (Cont'd) A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. (d) Property, plant and equipment (i) Recognition and measurement Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. The cost of self-constructed assets also includes the cost of materials and direct labour. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and is recognised net within “other income” and “other expenses” respectively in profit or loss. (ii) Subsequent costs The cost of replacing a component 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 component will flow to the Group or the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognised to profit or loss. The costs of the dayto-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 2. 61 Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (d) Property, plant and equipment (Cont'd) (iii)Depreciation Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, then that component is depreciated separately. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment from the date that they are available for use. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Property, plant and equipment under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use. The principal annual rates used for the current and comparative periods are as follows : Leasehold land Factory and other buildings Plant, machinery, tools and factory equipment Furniture, fittings and office equipment Motor vehicles % 1 1 - 10 10 - 20 8 - 20 20 Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of the reporting period, and adjusted as appropriate. (e) Leased assets (i) Finance lease Leases in terms of which the Group or the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed. 62 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. (CONT'D) Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (e) Leased assets (Cont'd) (i) Finance lease (Cont'd) Leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease is classified as property, plant and equipment, or as investment property if held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. (ii) Operating lease Leases, where the Group or the Company does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases and, except for property interest held under operating lease, the leased assets are not recognised on the statement of financial position. Property interest held under an operating lease, which is held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, is classified as investment property and measured using fair value model. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the reporting period in which they are incurred. (f)Impairment (i) Financial assets All financial assets, (except for investments in subsidiaries and investment in an associate) are assessed at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised. For an investment in an equity instrument, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is an objective evidence of impairment. If any such objective evidence exists, then the impairment loss of financial asset is estimated. An impairment loss in respect of loans and receivables is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. An impairment loss in respect of available-for-sale financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and the asset’s current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised. Where a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised in other comprehensive income, the cumulative loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 2. Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (f)Impairment (Cont'd) (i) Financial assets (Cont'd) An impairment loss in respect of unquoted equity instrument that is carried at cost is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the financial asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classified as available for sale is not reversed through profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed, to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The amount of the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. (ii) Other assets The carrying amounts of other assets (except for inventories, deferred tax assets and investment properties measured at fair value) 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 cash-generating units. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash 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 or cash-generating unit. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cashgenerating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the cash-generating unit (groups of cash-generating units) on a pro rata basis. 63 64 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. (CONT'D) Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (f)Impairment (Cont'd) (ii) Other assets (Cont'd) 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 loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying 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 profit or loss in the financial year in which the reversals are recognised. (g)Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is calculated using the first-in, first-out method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of work-in-progress and finished goods, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. (h) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks (including the accounts maintained pursuant to the Housing Developers (Housing Development Account)(Amendment) Regulations 2002) and highly liquid investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in fair value with original maturities of three months or less, and are used by the Group and the Company in the management of their short term commitments. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits. (i)Provision A provision is recognised if, as a result a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probably that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provision are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows as per-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 2. Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (j) Contingent liabilities Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is not recognised in the statements of financial position and is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. (k) Revenue and other income (a) Revenue from contracts with customers Revenue which represents income arising in the course of the Group’s ordinary activities is recognised by reference to each distinct performance obligation promised in the contract with the customer when or as the Group transfers the control of the goods and services promised in the contract and the customer obtains control of the goods or services. Nature of goods and services The following is a description of principal activities separated by reportable segments from which the Group generates its revenue. For more detailed information about reportable segments, see Note 27. (i) Manufacturing segment The manufacturing segment of the Group is involved in the manufacturing of precision sheet metal fabricated parts, precision injection moulding products and fabrication of moulds, tools and dies. The products from this segment are sold separately but customised to the specifications provided by the customers. Revenue is recognised over time as the Group’s performance: • creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or • does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled net of discounts and rebates and excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Majority of the contracts with customers include a standard warranty clause to provide warranty of one year. No provision for warranty was made by the Group as the probability of a defect arising from products sold was not material based on historical experience/data. 65 66 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. (CONT'D) Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (k) Revenue and other income (Cont'd) (a) Revenue from contracts with customers (ii) Property development segment Revenue is recognised over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. The progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation is measure based on one of the following methods that best depict the Group’s performance in satisfying the performance obligation: • direct measurement of the value transferred by the Group to the customer (e.g. surveys or appraisals of performance completed to date); or • the Group’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of the performance obligation (e.g. by reference to the property development costs incurred up to the end of the financial reporting period as a percentage of total estimated costs for complete satisfaction of the contract). If the contract with customer contains more than one distinct performance obligation, the amount of consideration is allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling prices of the goods or services promised in the contract. (iii) Property management and letting segment The property management and letting segment is involved in managing and letting of office space, managing of a heritage/cultural site and the car parks adjacent to the said properties. This segment derives its revenue in the form of rental from letting of office space and use of properties and sale of tickets for right of entry to the heritage/cultural site and car parks. (b) Rental income Rental income from investment property is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease. Rental income from sub-leased property is recognised as other income. (c) Dividend income Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s or the Company’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date. (d) Interest income Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method in profit or loss. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 2. Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (k) Revenue and other income (Cont'd) The estimated revenue relating to unfulfilled performance obligation at the end of the financial reporting period amounted to RM3,392,000 and RM201,952,000 for the manufacturing and property development segment respectively of the Group. The Group expects to recognise these revenue during the first quarter of 2016 for its manufacturing segment and progressively over the normal operating cycle of the Group’s development phase of approximately 4 years for its property development segment. (l) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or completed. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. (m) Income tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years. Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences : the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. 67 68 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. (CONT'D) Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (m) Income tax (Cont'd) Where investment properties are carried at their fair value in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 2(r), the amount of deferred tax recognised is measured using the tax rates that would apply on sale of those assets at their carrying value at the reporting date unless the property is depreciable and is held with the objective to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the property over time, rather than through sale. In all other cases, the amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entity, but they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. (n) Employee benefits (i) Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and sick leave are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profitsharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. (ii) State plans The Group’s contributions to statutory pension funds are charged to profit or loss in the financial year to which they relate. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extend that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. (o) Earnings per ordinary share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 2. Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (p) Operating segments An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. Operating segment results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker, which in this case is the Managing Director of the Group, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. (q) Equity instruments Instruments classified as equity are measured at cost on initial recognition and are not remeasured subsequently. (i) Issue expenses Costs directly attributable to the issue of instruments classified as equity are recognised as a deduction from equity. (ii) Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity. (iii) Warrants reserve The fair value relating to the issuance of warrants is credited to warrants reserve which is nondistributable. When the warrants are exercised or expire, the warrants reserve remains in equity, although it may be transferred to another reserve account within equity. (r) Investment properties (i) Investment properties carried at fair value Investment properties are properties which are owned or held under a leasehold interest to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they arise. Where the fair value of the investment property under construction is not reliably determinable, the investment property under construction is measured at cost until either its fair value becomes reliably determinable or construction is complete, whichever is earlier. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The cost of self-constructed investment property includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment property to a working condition for their intended use and capitalised borrowing costs. 69 70 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. (CONT'D) Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (r) Investment properties (Cont'd) (i) Investment properties carried at fair value (cont'd) An investment property is derecognised on its disposal, or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the item is derecognised. (ii) Reclassification to/from investment property When an item of property, plant and equipment is transferred to investment property following a change in its use, any difference arising at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the item immediately prior to transfer and its fair value is recognised directly in equity as a revaluation of property, plant and equipment. However, if a fair value gain reverses a previous impairment loss, the gain is recognised in profit or loss. Upon disposal of an investment property, any surplus previously recorded in equity is transferred to retained earnings; the transfer is not made through profit or loss. When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment or inventories, its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting. (s) Property development costs Property development costs comprise costs associated with the acquisition of land and all costs that are directly attributable to development activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities, including interest expense incurred during the period of active development. Property development costs not recognised as an expense is recognised as an asset and is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The excess of revenue recognised in profit or loss over billings to purchasers is shown as accrued billings under trade and other receivables, and the excess of billings to purchasers over revenue recognised in profit or loss is shown as progress billings under trade and other payables. (t) Fair value measurement Fair value of an asset or a liability, except for share-based payment and lease transactions, is determined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement 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. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 2. 71 Significant accounting policies (Cont'd) (t) Fair value measurement (Cont'd) When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair value are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the input used in the valuation technique as follows : Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date. Level 2 : inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 : unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers. 3.

Operating segments - Group The Group has three reportable segments as described below, which are the Group’s strategic business units. The strategic business units offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the strategic business units, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) (i.e. the Group’s Managing Director) reviews internal management reports on a monthly basis. Performance is measured based on segment profit before tax, interest, depreciation and amortisation, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the CODM. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 27. Operating segments - Group (Cont'd) The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group’s reportable segments : •Manufacturing Includes manufacturing of precision sheet metal fabricated parts, precision plastic injection moulding products and design and fabrication of moulds, tools and dies • Property development Development of residential properties • Property management and letting Includes managing an office building, heritage and cultural property and car parks Other non-reportable segment comprise of investment holding activities which do not meet the quantitative threshold for reporting. Segment assets Total segment asset is measured based on all assets of a segment, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the CODM. Segment total asset is used to measure the return on assets of each segment. Segment liabilities Segment liabilities information is neither included in the internal management reports nor provided regularly to the CODM. Hence, no disclosure is made on segment liability. Segment capital expenditure Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the financial year to acquire property, plant and equipment. 99 100 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 27.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from its receivables from customers. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from loans and advances to subsidiaries and financial guarantee given to banks for credit facilities granted to subsidiaries. 106 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 30. Financial instruments (Cont'd) 30.4 Credit risk (Cont'd) Receivables Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount. Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral At the end of the reporting period, there was no significant concentration of credit risk other than the trade receivables attributable to two customers from the Group’s manufacturing segment which collectively accounted for approximately 14% (2014 : 34%) of the Group’s total gross trade receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk for the Group is represented by the carrying amounts in the statements of financial position. Management has taken reasonable steps to ensure that receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are measured at their realisable values. A significant portion of the receivables from the Group’s manufacturing segment are regular customers that have been transacting with the Group. The Group uses ageing analysis to monitor the credit quality of the receivables. Any receivables having significant balances past due more than 120 days, which are deemed to have higher credit risk, are monitored individually. The Group does not have any significant credit risk from its property development segment as the properties are predominantly sold to a large number of purchasers with end financing facilities from banks and financial institutions. Additionally, the credit risk is also mitigated as ownership and rights to the properties revert to the Group in the event of default and the properties do not suffer from physical or technological obsolescence. A segment of the Group’s receivables arose from the renting out of an investment property. The credit risk from rental revenue is minimal due to the fact that upon execution of the tenancy agreement, the tenants are required to place security deposits equivalent to three (3) months’ rental.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 30. Financial instruments (Cont'd) 30.4 Credit risk (Cont'd) Financial guarantees Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk The Company provides unsecured financial guarantees to banks in respect of banking facilities granted to certain subsidiaries. The Company monitors on an ongoing basis the results of the subsidiaries and the repayments made by the subsidiaries. Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral The maximum exposure to credit risk amounted to RM142,348,750 (2014 : RM45,679,873) representing the outstanding banking facilities of the subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period. As at the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that any subsidiary would default on repayment. The financial guarantees have not been recognised since the fair value on initial recognition was not material. Inter company balances Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk The Company provides unsecured advances to subsidiaries. The Company monitors the results of the subsidiaries monthly. Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying amounts in the statement of financial position. Impairment losses As at the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that the advances to the subsidiaries are not recoverable. The Company does not specifically monitor the ageing of the advances to the subsidiaries. Nevertheless, these advances are not regarded as overdue and are repayable on demand. 109 110 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 30. Financial instruments (Cont'd) 30.5 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises principally from its various payables, loans and borrowings. The Group maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents and bank facilities deemed adequate by the management to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they fall due. It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 111 30.

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is also extended to interest earning deposits placed with licensed banks. Short term receivables and payables are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk. Risk management objectives policies and processes for managing the risk The Group and the Company are presently enjoying competitive interest rates which are reviewed and negotiated on a yearly basis. The Group’s and the Company’s surplus funds are placed in fixed and short term deposits with licensed banks.

Therefore, a change in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would not affect profit or loss. (b) Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A change of 100 basis points (bp) in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would have increased/(decreased) the Group’s post-tax profit by the amounts shown below.

Where necessary, management will review this policy when the need arises in the future. Exposure to foreign currency risk The Group’s exposure to foreign currency (a currency which is other than the currency of the Group entities) risk, based on carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period was: 2015 RM’000 2014 RM’000 1,520 (68) 7,920 (47,770) 1,874 (22) 4,773 (42,545) (38,398) (35,920) - 115 (38,398) (35,805) Group Amounts denominated in USD : Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Cash and bank balances Term loans Amount denominated in SGD : Trade and other receivables Net exposure in the statement of financial position Currency risk sensitivity analysis A 5% strengthening of the Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) against the above currencies at the end of the reporting period would have increased the Group’s post-tax profit by approximately RM1,440,000 (2014 : RM1,343,000). This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remained constant and ignores any impact of forecasted sales and purchases. There is no impact to equity arising from exposure to currency risk. A 5% weakening of the RM against the above currencies at the end of the reporting period would have had equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remained constant. 116 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 30.

Financial instruments (Cont'd) 30.7 Fair value information (Cont'd) Level 3 fair value Level 3 fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs for the financial liabilities. Non-derivative financial liabilities Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the end of the reporting period. The carrying amount of floating rate term loans approximate their fair values as their effective interest rate changes accordingly to movements in the market interest rate. In respect of non-current other payables, the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar borrowing arrangements estimated to be 5.33% (2014: Nil). Non-current deposits collected are refundable upon termination of the lease agreement by tenants which the Directors do not expect their fair value to differ significantly from its carrying amount. Transfers between fair values levels The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There has been no transfer between the fair value levels during the financial year (2014: no transfer in either direction). 31. Capital management The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to maintain a strong capital base and safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Directors monitor and are determined to maintain an optimal debt-toequity ratio that complies with debt covenants and regulatory requirements. 117 118 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 32.

Subsequent events (i) On 14 January 2016, EZSB entered into a MOU as mentioned in Note 34 (ii) with CZBUCG to grant EZSB the right to purchase 3 parcels of freehold land aggregating approximately 50 acres with vacant possession at approximately RM2,831,400,000. (ii) On 1 March 2016, the SSA with UD Piles as mentioned in Note 34 (vi) was terminated and deposit paid of RM2,880,000 was refunded to the Group. 36. Change in accounting policy The early adoption of MFRS 15 required the Group to review the measurement and timing of when revenue is recognised. The adoption of MFRS 15 on the Group’s recognition of revenue and costs of sales affected its property development activities, whereby: i) The Group had identified separate performance obligations arising from its property development activities and have deferred revenue for performance obligations that are only satisfied on delivery to its customers; and ii) Expenses attributable to securing contracts with customers had been capitalised and expensed by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. The new accounting policy had been adopted retrospectively. However, as the Group only commenced property development activities in the current financial year, the adoption of MFRS 15 did not have any significant impact on the comparative amounts and therefore, no restatement of comparative figures has been made. The Group also applied MFRS 15 retrospectively using the practical expedient in paragraph C5(c) of MFRS 15, under which the Group does not disclose the amount of consideration allocated to the remaining performance obligations or an explanation of when the Group expects to recognise the amount as revenue for the reporting periods presented before the date of the initial application - i.e. 1 January 2015. 119 120 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) 37.
