Explanatory Notes on Special Business:
Resolution 5
Authority to Issue Shares
At last year’s Annual General Meeting (“AGM”), mandate was given to the Directors of the Company to issue and allot not more than 10% of the
issued share capital of the Company. However, the mandate was not utilised and accordingly will lapse at this forthcoming AGM. As such, the
Board would like to seek for a renewal of the mandate.
The proposed Ordinary Resolution 5, if passed, will empower the Directors of the Company to issue and allot not more than 10% of the issued
share capital of the Company subject to the approvals of all the relevant governmental and/or other regulatory bodies and for such purposes as
the Directors consider would be in the interest of the Company.
The authority will provide flexibility to the Company for any possible fund raising activities, including but not limited to further placing of shares,
for purpose of funding future investment project(s), working capital and/or acquisitions.
This authorisation will, unless revoked or varied by the Company in a general meeting, expire at the next AGM of the Company.
Resolution 6
Proposed Change of Name
The Board proposed to change the Company’s name from “Kurnia Asia Berhad” to “KSK Group Berhad” (Proposed Change of Name).
The proposed change of name is to facilitate the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) dated 12 April 2012 in relation to the
proposed disposal by the Company of its 100% equity interest in Kurnia Insurans (Malaysia) Berhad to AmG Insurance Berhad, to be approved
at the EGM of the Company to be held on a date to be announced.
The approval of the Companies Commission of Malaysia (“CCM”)for the proposed name “KSK Group Berhad” had been obtained on
23 May 2012. The proposed Change of Name is now subject to the shareholders’ approval to be obtained at the forthcoming AGM.
The proposed Change of Name, if approved by the shareholders of the Company, will be effective from the date of issuance of the Certificate
of Incorporation on Change of Name by CCM. The Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company will be amended accordingly to
reflect the change of name.

Restated1
Prior year figures have been restated to reflect the effect of change in accounting policies in respect of insurance claims liabilities arising from the adoption of the
Risk-Based Capital Framework by the Malaysian insurance subsidiary.
Restated2
31 December 2009 figures have been restated to conform with FRS 4 Insurance Contracts, whereby the element of deferred acquisition cost has been excluded from the
earned premium in income statements; and reinsurance recovery of insurance contract liabilities were reclassed to be presented as reinsurance assets in statement of
financial position. Prior years (financial year ended 30 June 2008 to 2009) were not restated as it is impractical to carry out recomputation.

Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Annual Report and Audited Financial
Statements of Kurnia Asia Berhad (KAB or Group) for the financial year ended 31 December 2011
(FYE 2011).
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Stronger Net Earnings and Growth in Non-Motor Segment
The year 2011 was a significant year for us as it marked the 20th
anniversary of our main subsidiary, Kurnia Insurans (Malaysia)
Berhad (KIMB). From its humble beginnings two decades ago,
KIMB has grown to become a household brand and is now a
leading general insurer in the country. Throughout the years,
together, we have upheld the spirit of strengthening the company’s
operations and performance, and we are delighted to see the
resilient and commendable growth in our non-motor business as
we grow and diversify our business.
We are pleased to announce that for the year under review, the
Group’s overall gross premiums grew by a healthy 4.8% year-onyear (y-o-y), driven by the non-motor segment, which posted a
strong growth rate of 20.2%. This was mainly attributed to KIMB,
whose overall gross premium registered a 3.8% growth y-o-y, led
by its non-motor gross premium, which expanded by 18.7%. As
a result, KIMB’s portfolio mix of motor and non-motor continued
to improve to 80%: 20% ratio (2010 – 82%: 18%).
We achieved a net profit of RM47.8 million for the year under
review, a significant increase of 218%, from the RM15.0 million
recorded last year. This was mainly due to stronger underwriting
performance, from a deficit of RM51.0 million recorded last year
to a small deficit of RM4.8 million, almost a breakeven.
KIMB’s investment income for the FYE 2011 stood at RM103.7
million, 9.7% or RM11.2 million lower than previous year’s
performance. This was mainly attributable to the weaker
investment environment in particular during the third quarter of
2011. Nevertheless, the prudent and defensive nature of KIMB’s
investment portfolio continued to be the driving force for a
sustained income contribution. Net investment yield for the FYE
2011 stood at 5.8% vis-à-vis 6.3% last year.
The net asset value of the Group improved to RM401.4 million as
at 31 December 2011 from RM327.8 million as at 31 December
2010. The increase was primarily due to the surplus on revaluation
of properties amounting to RM30.7 million, as well as RM47.8
million net profits recorded during the period.
Aside from KIMB, we are also pleased to report that KAB’s two
other insurance operations recorded encouraging growth for the
FYE 2011. PT. Kurnia Insurance Indonesia (KII) grew by 50% in
terms of gross premium compared to the same period last year,
while Kurnia Insurance (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (KIT) achieved a 48%
gross premium growth during the same period.
The Group is optimistic about the growth potential in both
Indonesia and Thailand. The potential to grow in these two
markets is undeniable, as these economies have remained
resilient despite the external turbulent economic conditions – In
2011, Indonesia enjoyed an economic growth of over 6% while
the economic growth in Thailand was in excess of 4%. Nonlife insurance product led by motor insurance is set to grow
significantly in these two markets in the coming years.
Taking cue from the successful transformation programme
at KIMB, KII and KIT have since last year embarked on their
own transformation programmes, which aim to strengthen the
companies’ fundamentals and operational platform to prepare
for rapid growth in the years to come. In line with the Group’s
direction, KIT is projected to achieve gross premium income of
THB2 billion for the year ending 31 December 2012, while KII’s
gross premium target is IDR300 billion for the same period.
We are happy that our strategy to accelerate the growth of our
non-motor business continues to show positive and improving
trend while prudent underwriting and cost control measures have
helped the Group to improve its underwriting results without
compromising on the quality of our service to customers.
Moving forward, the Group will continue to build on its strengths,
and focus on its business goals and strategies to enhance
shareholders’ value. On the same note, the Group will also
explore various opportunities to grow and expand its business.

Chairman’s Statement (cont’d)
OPERATIONS REVIEW
While we continue to maintain our market leadership in the motor
insurance industry, we have also stamped a strong footing in
the non-motor sector. KIMB has aggressively strived towards
achieving stronger growth in its non-motor business. The growth
in the non-motor segment has been the key driver to achieve
a more balanced portfolio during the recent years, including the
year under review.
In pursuit of diversification, we have taken several initiatives to
increase our capability and competency in underwriting nonmotor business. Some of these include driving agency sales,
developing alternative distribution channels to achieve bigger
market reach, strengthening our non-motor team’s underwriting
and technical knowledge, and enhancing our service level.
Committed to excellence and guided by the high standards of
business ethics in the insurance industry, KAB was awarded the
“Industry Excellence Award” in the Insurance category at the
launching ceremony of the 5th Edition of Malaysia 1000, Directory
of Top Malaysian Companies on 14 September 2011. The award
further reaffirmed the strong “Kurnia” brand value and its position
as one of the leading general insurers in the country.
Value Added Products and Services
To remain competitive, we recognise the need for innovation,
via the introduction of new non-motor products in profitable
segments and provision of continuous enhancements to our
existing products and value-added services. This is also in line
with our customer service commitment to offer quality products
and excellent services to our customers. Over the last 15 months,
KIMB has strengthened its product development teams, which
focused on introducing innovative and value-added products to
meet customers’ needs and expectations.
The Malaysian medical and health insurance sector is expected
to sustain strong growth, driven by upward trends in consumer
awareness coupled with an increasing need for cover against
escalating healthcare costs. During the first half of 2011, KIMB
launched a new medical product, MediGuard Supreme, an
enhanced comprehensive medical insurance protection until the
age of 85 years. This yearly renewable hospital and surgical policy
added extra features for the benefits of its policyholders, such as
double overall annual limit upon diagnosis of critical illnesses, noclaim bonus, medical second opinion, family discount, renewable
until age 85, high annual limits for both outpatient kidney dialysis
or cancer treatment, and in-hospital physician visitation. The
enhanced extended coverage provides relief to customers in view
of the rising healthcare costs when the unexpected hospitalisation
takes place due to an accident or illness.
The introduction of the health insurance plan designated
for foreign workers will also bode well and drive growth for
KIMB’s foreign workers insurance products. KIMB has been
appointed by the Human Resource Ministry and Health Ministry
of Malaysia to provide insurance coverage for employment
accidents, surgical and hospitalisation to foreign workers. Foreign
Worker Compensation Scheme (FWCS) and Foreign Worker
Hospitalisation and Surgical Insurance Scheme (SKHPPA) are
designed to reduce the financial burden of the foreign workers’
employers in the event of an accident or illness. We are pleased
that KIMB has garnered strong support from its industrial clients
for these two products.
In March 2011, KIMB became the first general insurer in Malaysia
to launch its very own mobile application for iPhone users called
Kurnia Mobile, which offers ease and convenience to customers
and agents alike. This significant initiative is part of the company’s
continuous effort in providing the best customer service as well
as keeping up with the advancement in mobile technology.
Following the successful launch of Kurnia Mobile, KIMB continues
to further enhance its mobile technology through the launch of its
second mobile application called Kurnia One Touch in October
2011. Living up to its name, Kurnia One Touch aims to reach
out to our policyholders with just a click away, to further assist
them in the event of any road emergency and to expedite our
claims service. Kurnia One Touch is a free mobile application and
is currently available for major mobile platforms such as iPhone,
Android and BlackBerry, making it relevant for the vast majority of
data capable smartphones.

The new features of the application include the ability to:
• Locate users through GPS,
• Store and send user’s information, such as name, car plate
number and contact details,
• Notify claim by allowing user to take, attach and send photos
of damaged vehicle, accident scene or third-party’s details
using the mobile camera function,
• Locate nearest Kurnia branches and workshops,
• Access emergency numbers listing, and
• Provide more information about Kurnia Insurans.
In August 2011, KIMB continued to roll out two new innovative
products, namely AutoGuard Warranty, a warranty plan that
covers unforeseen mechanical and electrical breakdown of the
vehicle, and PA Supreme, a personal accident plan that covers
beyond accidental injuries. While standard personal accident
policies are triggered only in the case of accidents, PA Supreme
provides extra features for the benefits of its policyholders,
covering:
• Medical expenses caused by Dengue, Malaria, Japanese
Encephalitis (JE), and Chikungunya
• Expenses related to trauma counseling, physiotherapy,
psychotherapy or rehabilitation
• Cashless hospital admission and discharge from panel
hospitals
• Actual costs of orthopedic equipment for permanent
disablement
• Renewal bonus on accidental death and permanent
disablement benefit
• Other benefits and free extensions.
This policy also provides peace of mind as KIMB partnered with
internationally acclaimed service provider, International SOS
to provide overseas medical advice, referral, evacuation and
repatriation for PA Supreme policyholders.
As for the new motor insurance product, AutoGuard Warranty
protects unforeseen mechanical and electrical breakdown
of the vehicle, and provides savings for major repairs. The
plan is available through selected secondhand car dealers for
unregistered reconditioned vehicles below 6 years old from
the date of manufacturer, or with mileage of less than 100,000
kilometres at the point of registration.
In early 2012, KIMB was among the six insurance companies
being appointed as official travel insurance service providers to
provide the mandatory travel insurance for members of Malaysian
Association of Tour & Travel Agents (MATTA). The move is to ensure
consumers’ welfare is protected when traveling. The insurance will
cover all or most of the eight critical points that are crucial, which
include medical, hospitalisation and travel expenses, emergency
medical evacuation and repatriation, reimbursement of deposits
or full payment of air tickets or tour packages, repatriation of
mortal remains, compassionate visitation benefits, accidental
death, permanent disability and 24-hour emergency hotline.
As part of our non-motor expansion initiatives, KIMB signed
a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Yayasan Guru
Malaysia Berhad (YGMB) on 17 February 2012 to underwrite
Group Personal Accident for a total of 79,000 members/teachers
of YGMB.
On the international front, the Group has embarked on the
Information Technology (IT) platform to enhance operational
efficiency and make it easy for business partners to conduct
business with the companies. KII recently launched an industry
first e-policy system, which is a business portal designed for
KII agents to issue policies to customers on the spot. At KIT,
an e-surveyor system has been launched to improve claims
service to policyholders, where loss surveying is conducted on
the spot after an accident occurs. Going forward, KIT and KII will
continue to be IT savvy for the benefit of its business partners
and customers.
To this end, the Group’s strategy has served it well, and moving
ahead, KAB remains committed to drive business growth and
profitability to ensure that its headline numbers remain strong for
the benefit of all stakeholders.

Corporate Social Responsibility
The Group believes in giving back to the community as it endeavors
to create a more caring community and make a significant
difference in the lives of many in the society. As a responsible
corporate citizen, we are committed to serve and support the
community through various events and campaigns.
In April 2011, KIMB sponsored RM10,000 in support of the
8th Annual Blind Leading the Blind Charity Walk, organised by
The Lions Club of Petaling Jaya. This charitable cause, which
was held at Civic Hall, Petaling Jaya gathered more than 2,500
participants for the 3km walk. It was a memorable experience
for our 200 employees who took part in the event. Walkers
are to take off in pairs with one completely blindfolded and the
other leading. The campaign gave the sighted the opportunity to
experience blindness, to value sight and appreciate teamwork.
Most importantly, to raise the much needed fund.
KIMB continued such charitable supports by sponsoring the 10th
Hospis Malaysia Charity Treasure Hunt in May 2011. The hunters
flagged off from Cheras and headed up north to Miami Beach on
the renowned Batu Ferringhi stretch. Other than goodies bags
and bottles of drinking water, KIMB also provided auto assist
breakdown and towing services to the treasure hunt participants
during the hunt.
It was KIMB’s day of sharing with 27 underprivileged children when
the company organised a visitation to Rumah Shalom in August
2011. Themed “A Day We Share,” the objective of this corporate
social responsibility initiative was to share our blessings with the
less fortunate children and raise awareness on the importance of
sharing, giving and caring. We received overwhelming response
for this charitable event, with donations in cash and kind from
our kindhearted employees. The funds collected were use to buy
provisions for the home and items for the children to use in their
daily life.
In sports, KIMB once again co-hosted the Kurnia Saujana
Amateur Championship with Saujana Golf and Country Club for
the 3rd consecutive year. This annual amateur golf tournament
is to acknowledge and applaud outstanding young talents in the
golf fraternity. We believe that this event will continue to serve
as a platform to encourage more aspiring young Malaysians
golfers to test their skills against other international talents and
excel in the game. We are honoured to be the preferred choice
insurance provider for the local golfing community. Our aim is to
strengthen our customer base by reaching out to more golfers in
the country.
As part of our community projects, KIMB recently donated
RM35,000 for Taman Pusat Kepong Residents Association to
build a basketball court. Sharing the vision and enthusiasm of such
community project, KIMB is happy to be given the opportunity
to be associated and be part of the Taman Pusat Kepong
community in contributing to the well-being of the neighbourhood
and fostering a healthy lifestyle among the younger generation.
KIMB trusts that the new basketball court will serve as a platform
to encourage more youths to get active and take up the game.
The court can also be an avenue for other sports or recreational
activities, as well as to gather the residents.
Acknowledging Staff Contribution
The Group has a passion to excel, a desire to bring the best out
of its people and a commitment to take the Group to greater
heights. These have been the very spirit and values that drove
us to what we are today and will continue to take us to higher
levels in time to come. While we celebrate our 20th anniversary
last year, we are deeply honoured for the series of successes and
milestones that we have accomplished throughout the years with
the support of all our stakeholders.
As we expand our business, we continue to grow our people.
It has always been the Group’s philosophy to enrich its
employees’ welfare, expertise and performance. Various staff
benefits and incentives have been introduced and put in place
to ensure that employees’ contribution are acknowledged and
rewarded accordingly. Some of these include promotions,
salary adjustments, bonus payments, free motor/group term life
insurance, complementary lunches, low interest rates for car/
housing loans, and more. We also continue to invest in staff
training and development by organising series of workshops
and seminars throughout the year to further enhance our human
capital capabilities.

On 20 May 2011, in the spirit of camaraderie, our staff and their
families came together to celebrate our Family Day at Taman
Botani, Putrajaya. With the theme, 1Kurnia, the event gathered
a total of over 600 staff and their family members for a fun-filled
Sunday. This event was significant as it brought staff and their
families together, which not only strengthens the family ties and
co-worker relationships, but also gave an opportunity for us to
get to know one another. It was also our token of appreciation
in recognition of staff’s contributions towards the company’s
growth.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all staff for working
together as a family, with mutual respect and consideration for
one another. Let’s continue to provide a harmonious working
environment in which our employees’ contributions and ideas
are both recognised and valued. We definitely look forward to
continuing our meaningful and fruitful journey with you.
Celebrating Agents Achievements
KIMB celebrated its agents’ achievements in its Annual Agency
Convention and Awards Night at Genting International Convention
Centre on 30 July 2011. The 3-day event, which gathered a total
of over 437 agents nationwide, was organised to pay tribute
to KIMB’s agency force for their hard work and productivity in
2010/2011. In total, over 100 top agents strode up the stage
to accept awards in various categories, which included Million
Ringgit Producers, Top Profitable Agents, Top Rookie of the Year,
Top Medical Producer, Top Overall Producers, Top Non Motor
Producers and Chairman’s Challenge Trophy.
KIMB has, for the past 20 years undertaken various initiatives
to arrive at where it is today in terms of its distribution network.
Such initiatives involved the collective efforts and dedication from
employees, agents, distributors and partners who work together
for the mutual benefit of our customers. With this synergy,
we continue to develop long-term partnerships, increase our
agency network and share knowledge and experiences to move
forward.
Industry Outlook
According to the Fitch Ratings Outlook for Malaysia’s insurance
report, the industry in 2012 is stable, supported by sound operating
profitability, steady market growth and manageable exposure to
investment risks. The growth of the Malaysian insurance market
will be driven by various government measures, a low penetration
rate, as well as improving product reach through bancassurance
and direct distribution.
The General Insurance Association of Malaysia (PIAM) also
foresees the outlook for the general insurance industry this year
to be positive with an increased demand for insurance products
and services. In addition, the Government backed Economic
Transformation Program (ETP) is expected to lead growth in
demand for insurance products and services.
In addition, as Bank Negara plans to de-tariff motor insurance
premiums by 2016, there will be gradual increments to motor
insurance premiums with the new motor cover framework. This
bodes well for KIMB, as being the largest motor insurer in the
market, the revised tariff structure is expected to improve its
profitability. There will be more emphasis now on speedy and
quality customer service, as customers will be expecting more
from insurance companies due to the gradual increase in
motor insurance premiums. Hence, we seize this opportunity
to differentiate ourselves from our peers by providing superior
customer service coupled with more value-added services to
attract and satisfy customers.

MOVING FORWARD
APPRECIATION
It has always been our vision to project the “Kurnia” brand to
prevail as a household name in Malaysia, a name built to last.
Over the past 20 years, despite lacking an advantage of being
associated with a bank or corporate group franchise, KIMB has
leapt ahead of its peers, and has built a strong agency network
and sizeable customer base. In the midst of intense competition
and stringent regulatory framework, KIMB has grown to reach a
size and market position whereby it would benefit from a merger
with a strong and strategic insurance operator to spur its next
phase of growth. To this end, on 12 April 2012, KAB has entered
into a sale and purchase agreement with AmG Insurance Berhad
(AmG) for the proposed disposal of 100% equity interest in KIMB
for a total cash consideration of RM1.55 billion.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to take this
opportunity to extend my heartfelt and deepest gratitude to all
our loyal shareholders, valued policyholders, agents, brokers,
business associates, reinsurers and media for their continuous
support and faith in our Group. We also extend our gratitude to
Bank Negara Malaysia, Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia (PIAM)
and all other relevant authorities for their continuous support and
guidance.
We are excited about this prospect to accelerate the growth of
the “Kurnia” brand and are proud to undertake this exercise for
the mutual benefit of all stakeholders of the Group and to create
a win-win situation for all parties. For KIMB, the merger with AmG
will create Malaysia’s largest general and motor insurance player
giving an opportunity for KIMB to grow to the next level with
the experience of AmG. For KAB, the disposal will enable the
Group to focus on driving the business growth potential of the
Indonesian and Thailand insurance operations. It will also give the
Group an opportunity to diversify into other investment potentials
for the continued growth of the Group, and at the same time,
reward its shareholders.
As we look towards the next financial year and beyond, the
Group is confident and positive of the future given its solid
foundation that has been laid over the years, strong economy
and a disciplined and robust strategy that will ensure continued
growth and sustainable shareholders’ value.
Finally, I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to
our employees, who represent the backbone of our Group.
The success of the Group during the last two decades is the
consequence of your hard work, team spirit and dedication.
I thank you for your contribution and look forward to celebrate
another exciting chapter of success in the decades to come.

Statement on Internal Control
The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance stipulates that the Board of Directors of listed
companies should maintain a sound system of internal control to safeguard shareholders’
investments and Group assets. The Statement on Internal Control is prepared under the requirement
of Paragraph 15.26(b) of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities
Berhad and in accordance with the “Statement on Internal Control: Guidance for Directors of Public
Listed Companies” issued by the Institute of Internal Auditors Malaysia and as adopted by Bursa
Malaysia Securities Berhad. The Board recognises the importance of a sound system of internal

error.
The key processes that have been established in reviewing the

Reinsurance Assets
Insurance Receivables
As at 31.12.2011, Group’s reinsurance assets that consist of
reinsurers’ share of provision for outstanding claims and provision
for unearned premium increased by RM178.5 million or 47.9%
to RM551.3 million from RM372.8 million as at 31.12.2010.
The increase was driven by higher gross premium written and
reinsurance outwards during the current financial year.
The Group’s insurance receivables rose by 7.5% or RM4.0 million
to RM56.8 million from RM52.8 million as at 31.12.2010. The
increase was mainly attributed to growth in gross premium written
during the current financial year.

Analysis on the Financial Statements (cont’d)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Other Financial Liabilities
The Group’s cash and cash equivalents are made up of cash in
hand, balance with banks and fixed deposits placed with licensed
financial institutions with maturities of three months or less. The
Group’s cash and cash equivalents stood at RM130.8 million,
increased slightly from RM129.6 million as at 31.12.2010.
The Group’s other financial liabilities increased by 3.5% or
RM15.3 million to RM450.6 million from RM435.3 million as at
31.12.2010, mainly due to the increase in deposits received from
reinsurers.
Other Payables
Total Liabilities
The Group’s total liabilities increased by 4.6% or RM103.2 million
to RM2,359.8 million from RM2,256.6 million as at 31.12.2010.
This increase was primarily due to higher insurance contract
liabilities which accounted for 71.6% (2010: 74.0%) of the Group’s
total liabilities.
Insurance Contract Liabilities
The Group’s insurance contract liabilities consist of:
- gross provision for outstanding claims which amounted to
RM1,136.4 million (2010: RM1,155.8 million) and
- gross provision for unearned premium which amounted to
RM554.5 million (2010: RM513.4 million)
Total insurance contract liabilities increased by RM21.7 million
or 1.3% mainly due to higher provision for unearned premium in
tandem with the expanded business portfolio.
Underwriting Performance Indicators
Retention ratio (Net premium / Gross premium)
The Group’s other payables increased by 13.5% or RM12.3
million to RM103.0 million from RM90.7 million as at 31.12.2010,
mainly due to the additional advance from a major shareholder.
Income Statement
The Group’s results are mainly derived from its insurance
subsidiary in Malaysia, Kurnia Insurans (M) Berhad (“KIMB”).
The contribution of PT Kurnia Insurance Indonesia (“KII”) and
the equity-accounted associated company, Kurnia Insurance
(Thailand) Co. Ltd. (“KIT”) to the performance of the Group was
not significant.
The Group recorded an improved net profit of RM47.844 million for
the financial year ended 31.12.2011 (2010: RM15.012 million).
The Group’s underwriting experience for the financial year was as

whilst 22.0% (2010: 19.2%) was from

The Group’s net claims incurred ratio
improved to 70.8% (2010: 75.9%), owing

The Group’s management expenses
ratio maintained at 20.9% (2010: 21.0%),
despite the lower absolute amount of
management expense incurred during
the year, as the net premium base was
lower compared to previous year. The
lower management expense of RM161.6
million (2010: RM176.4 million) was
largely due to better cost management
and more efficient use of resources.

Directors’ Report
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 of the Company and its related companies) 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
except for those disclosed in Note 35 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

Issue of shares
There were no changes in the authorised, issued and paid-up capital of the Company during the financial year.

Directors’ Report
Other statutory information (cont’d)
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 and 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.
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 when they fall due.
For the purpose of this paragraph, contingent and other liabilities do not include liabilities arising from contracts of insurance underwritten
in the ordinary course of business of the Group.
In the opinion of the Directors, the financial performance of the Group and of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December
2011 have not been substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature nor has any such item,
transaction or event occurred in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report.
Significant event
On 19 December 2011, the Company submitted an application to Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”) for the approval of the Minister of
Finance (“MOF”) pursuant to Section 67 of the Malaysian Insurance Act and Regulations, 1996, to review a proposal to enter into an
agreement with AmG Insurance Berhad (“AmG”) for the possible disposal of the Company’s 100% equity interest in Kurnia Insurans
(Malaysia) Berhad (“KIMB”) to AmG.
On 3 April 2012, the Company received written approval from MOF via BNM to enter into an agreement with AmG for the possible
disposal of the Company’s 100% equity interest in KIMB to AmG.

The Group’s and the Company’s financial statements for annual period beginning on 1 January 2012 will be prepared in
accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRSs) issued by the MASB that will also comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). As a result, the Group and the Company will not be adopting the above
FRSs, Interpretations and amendments that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012.
2.2 Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements, on the assumption that the Group and the Company are going concerns.
The Company incurred a net loss of RM10,593,000 during the year ended 31 December 2011, and as of that date,
the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by RM243,690,000 which may indicate the existence of a
significant uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has considered prospective cash flow information and events that may occur in the next twelve months and
the possible actions to be taken by the Company. In this regards, the Company had on 3 April 2012 obtained approval from
MOF via BNM, to enter into an agreement with AmG to dispose the Company’s 100% equity interest in KIMB.
The validity of the going concern assumption in the preparation of financial statements is dependent on the successful
outcome of the various initiatives being undertaken by the Company and the Company achieving future profitable operations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts, and relating to amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue
as a going concern.
General business assets and liabilities relate to both general insurance fund and shareholders’ fund.

2.3Functional 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 and has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.
2.4Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have a
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements other than those disclosed in the following notes:

3.Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial statements, and
have been applied consistently by the Group entities, except for:
i)
the change in accounting policy to adopt the revaluation model to measure freehold land and buildings and leasehold
land and buildings classified as property and equipment in accordance with FRS 116, Property, plant and equipment. This
change in accounting policy has been accounted for prospectively upon the initial application of the revaluation model in
accordance with FRS 116. Under the revaluation model, the properties are stated at revalued amounts, which are the fair
values at the date of the revaluation less subsequent accumulated depreciation (except for freehold land which has an
unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated) and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Any revaluation
surplus is credited to the revaluation reserve included within equity.
ii)
the change in accounting policy with respect to the subsequent measurement of investment property from the cost model
to the fair value model, with changes in fair value recognised in income statement, in accordance to FRS 140, Investment
Property. The Group applied the impact of adopting fair value model, which amounted to RM160,000, prospectively rather
than making an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as required by FRS 140, since the impact is not
material to the Group’s financial results.

3.Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
3.1
Basis of consolidation
3.1.1Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities, including unincorporated entities, controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group
has the ability to exercise its power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain
benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into
account. Subsidiaries are consolidated using the purchase method of accounting.
Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less any impairment
losses. Investment in Irredeemable Convertible Subordinated Debt (“ICSD”) issued by the subsidiary of the
Company is treated as cost of investment in the subsidiary as the ICSD is non-redeemable and convertible during
the tenure of the ICSD. ICSD which has not been converted will be fully converted on maturity date.
3.1.2 Associates
Associates are entities, including unincorporated entities, in which the Group has significant influence, but not
control, over the financial and operating policies.
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 consolidated financial statements include the
Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the equity accounted 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 equity accounted associate, the carrying amount
of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to nil 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
investee.
3.1.3Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group
transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from
transactions with equity accounted investees 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.
3.1.4Accounting for 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.
The Group has changed its accounting policy with respect to the accounting for business combinations.
From 1 January 2011 the Group has applied FRS 3, Business Combinations (revised) in accounting for business
combinations. The change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively in accordance with the transitional
provisions provided by the standard and does not have impact on earnings per share.

3.1
Basis of consolidation (cont’d)
3.1.4Accounting for business combinations (cont’d)
Acquisitions on or after 1 January 2011
For acquisition on or after 1 January 2011, the Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:
-
-
-
-
the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus
if 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 income statements.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships.
Such amounts are generally recognised in income statements.
Costs related to the acquisition, 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.
Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent
consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise,
subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in income statements.
3.1.5Non-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 comprehensive
income as an allocation of the profit or loss and the comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling
interests and the owners of the Company.
Since the beginning of the reporting period, the Group has applied FRS 127, Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements (revised) where 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. This
change in accounting policy is applied prospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard
and does not have impact on earnings per share.
In the previous years, where losses applicable to the non-controlling interests exceed the interest in the equity of a
subsidiary, the excess, and any further losses applicable to the non-controlling interests, were charged against the
Group’s interest except to the extent that the non-controlling interests had a binding obligation to, and was able
to, make additional investment to cover the losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reported profits, the Group’s
interest was allocated with all such profits until the non-controlling interests’ share of losses previously absorbed
by the Group had been recovered.

3.2Foreign currency
3.2.1Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the 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 date 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 reporting
date except for those that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange
rates at the date that the fair value was determined.
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in the income statements.
3.2.2Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”)
3.3
The assets and liabilities of operations denominated in functional currencies other than RM, including goodwill
and fair value adjustments, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the end of the reporting period, except for
goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from business combinations before 1 January 2006 which are reported
using the exchange rates at the dates of the acquisitions. The income and expenses of foreign operations in
functional currencies other than RM, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign
currency translation reserve.
On disposal of such operations, the accumulated translation differences are recognised in the consolidated income
statements as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
3.3.1Recognition and measurement
Items of property and equipment except for property under construction are stated at cost/ valuation less any
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Property under construction is stated at
cost.
The Group revalues its properties comprising land and buildings every 5 years and at shorter intervals whenever
the fair value of the revalued assets is expected to differ materially from their carrying value.
The revalued amounts of property are determined by using comparison and investment methods. The comparison
method entails critical analysis of recent evidence of values of comparable properties in the neighborhood and
making adjustments for differences such as differences in location, size and shape of land, age and condition
of building, tenure, title restrictions if any and other relevant characteristics. The investment method entails the
determination of the probable gross annual rental the property is capable of producing and deducting there from
the outgoings to arrive at the annual net income. The annual net income is capitalised using a rate of interest to
arrive at the capital value of the property. Valuation of properties involves a degree of judgement before arriving at
the respective property’s revalued amount. As such, the revalued amount of the properties may be different from
its actual market price.

Property and equipment (cont’d)
3.3.1Recognition and measurement (cont’d)
Surpluses arising from revaluation are dealt with in the revaluation reserve account. Any deficit arising is offset
against the revaluation reserve to the extent of a previous increase for the same property. In all other cases, a
decrease in carrying amount is charged to income statements.
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 and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as
separate items (major components) of property and equipment.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds
from disposal with the carrying amount of property and equipment and are recognised net within “management
expenses” in the income statements. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation
reserve account are transferred to retained earnings / accumulated losses.
3.3.2Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property 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 or the Company
and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised to income
statements. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property and equipment are recognised in the income
statements as incurred.
3.3.3Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted
for cost, less its residual value.
Depreciation is recognised in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
each part of an item of property and equipment. Freehold land is not depreciated. Property and equipment under
construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Leasehold land
Buildings
Office improvements
Furniture and fittings Office equipment and computers
Motor vehicles Depreciation methods, residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate at the end of the
reporting period.

3.4Leased assets
3.4.1Finance leases
Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified
as finance leases. On initial recognition of 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 the asset.
Minimum lease payments made under finance lease 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.
Leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease is classified as property and equipment.
3.4.2Operating leases
Leases, where the Group does not assume substantially all the risk 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 Group’s 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.
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the
term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in income statements as an integral part of the total
lease expense, over the term of the lease.
Leasehold land which in substance is an operating lease is classified as prepaid lease payments.
3.5 Intangible asset
3.5.1 Goodwill
Goodwill arises on business combinations is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. In
respect of equity accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the
investment and an impairment loss on such an investment is not allocated to any assets, including goodwill, that
forms part of the carrying amount of the equity accounted investee.
For acquisitions prior to 1 January 2006, goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the
Group’s interest in the fair values of the net identifiable assets and liabilities.
For business acquisition between 1 January 2006 and 1 January 2011, goodwill represents the 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 of the acquiree. Any excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in income statements.

3.6Investment properties
3.6.1Investment properties carried at fair value
Investment properties are properties which are owned or held under leasehold interest to earn rental income or for
capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business. These include land held for a
currently undetermined future use.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value with any change therein
recognised in income statements 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.
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 the income statements in the period in which the item is derecognised.
3.6.2
Determining fair value
An external, independent valuation firm, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent
experience in the location and category of property being valued is engaged to, value the Group’s investment
properties every 3 years and at shorter intervals whenever the fair value of the revalued asset is expected to differ
materially from their carrying value.
The fair value of the investment property is determined by using comparison and investment methods. The
comparison method entails critical analyses of recent evidence of values of comparable properties in the
neighbourhood and making adjustments for differences such as differences in location, size and shape of the land,
age and condition of building, tenure, title restrictions if any and other relevant characteristics. The investment
method 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. The annual net income is capitalised using a
rate of interest to arrive at the capital value of the property. Valuation of properties involves a degree of judgement
before arriving at the respective property’s revalued amount. As such, the revalued amount of the properties may
be different from its actual market price.
Investment property under construction is valued by estimating the fair value of the completed investment
property and then deducting from that amount the estimated cost to complete construction, financing costs and
a reasonable profit margin.

3.7Financial instruments
3.7.1Initial recognition and measurement
A financial instrument is recognised in the financial statements when, and only when, the Group and the Company
become 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.
3.7.2Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement
The Group and the Company categorise and measure financial instruments as follows:
Financial assets
3.7.2.1 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial assets that are held for trading (“HFT”) or
financial assets that are specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling or
repurchasing in the near term or it is part of a portfolio of identified securities that are managed together
and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking.
Financial assets classified as HFT are subsequently measured at their fair values and any gain or loss
arising from a change in the fair value will be recognised in the income statements.
3.7.2.2 Held-to-maturity investments (“HTM”)
HTM investments category comprises debt instruments that are quoted in an active market and the
Group and the Company have the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
Financial assets categorised as HTM investments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method.

3.7Financial instruments (cont’d)
3.7.2Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement (cont’d)
3.7.2.3 Loans and receivables (“LAR”)
Loans and receivables category comprises debt instruments that are not quoted in an active market and
include other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
Financial assets categorised as loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.
3.7.2.4 Available-for-sale financial assets (“AFS”)
AFS category comprises investments in equity and debt securities that are not held for trading or heldto-maturity.
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 classified as
AFS are subsequently measured at their fair values and any gain or loss arising from a change in the
fair value will be recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and foreign
exchange gains and losses arising from monetary items which are recognised in the income statements.
On derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income
is reclassified from equity into income statements. Interest calculated for a debt instrument using the
effective interest method is recognised in the income statements.
3.7.2.5 Insurance receivables
Insurance receivables are recognised when due and measured on initial recognition at the fair value of
the consideration received or receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, insurance receivables are
measured at amortised cost, using the effective yield method.
If there is objective evidence that the insurance receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying
amount of the insurance receivable accordingly and recognises that impairment loss in income
statements. The Group gathers the objective evidence that an insurance receivable is impaired using the
same process adopted for financial assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment loss is calculated
under the same method used for these financial assets. These processes are described in Note 3.9.
Insurance receivables are derecognised when the derecognition criteria for financial assets, as described
in Note 3.7.5, have been met.
All financial assets, except for those measured at fair value through profit or loss, are subject to review for
impairment (see Note 3.9).

3.7Financial instruments (cont’d)
3.7.3A 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 market place
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:
-
-
the recognition of an asset to be received and the liability to pay for it on the trade date, and
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.
All the financial assets are recognised using trade date except for debt instruments which are recognised using
settlement date.
3.7.4Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost other than
those categorised as fair value through profit or loss.
Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are held for trading or financial liabilities
that are specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition.
Financial liabilities categorised as fair value through profit or loss is subsequently measured at their fair values with
the gain or loss recognised in income statements.
3.7.5Derecognition
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 the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or substantially
all risks and rewards of the asset. 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 income statements.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is
discharged or 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 the income statements.
3.8Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid investments
which have an insignificant risk of changes in value with original maturities of three (3) months or less.
Cash and cash equivalents are categorised and measured as loans and receivables in accordance with policy note
3.7.2.3.

3.9Impairment
3.9.1Financial assets, excluding insurance receivables
All financial assets (except for financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss, investment in
subsidiaries, investment in associate and fixed and call deposits) 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 equity instrument, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is an objective evidence
of impairment.
3.9.1.1 Held-to-maturity (“HTM”) and loans and receivables (“LAR”)
An impairment loss in respect of HTM investments and LAR is recognised in income statements and is
measured as the difference between the financial asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the
estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The amount
of the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. The carrying amount of the assets is
reduced through the use of an allowance account.
Subsequent reversal in the impairment loss is recognised when the decrease can be objectively related
to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, to the extent that the financial assets carrying
amount does not exceed its amortised cost if no impairment had been recognised. The reversal is
recognised in the income statements.
3.9.1.2 Available-for-sale (“AFS”)
An impairment loss in respect of available-for-sale financial assets is recognised in the income statements
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 the other
comprehensive income, the cumulative loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity
and recognised to income statements.
An impairment loss in respect of unquoted equity instrument that is carried at cost is recognised in
income statements 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 income statements for an investment in an equity instrument classified
as available-for-sale is not reversed through the income statements.
If, in the 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 income statements,
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 the income statements.

3.9Impairment (cont’d)
3.9.2Insurance receivables
Insurance receivables 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 assets. Losses
expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised. An objective evidence of impairment
is deemed to exist where the principal or interest or both for insurance receivables is past due for more than 90
days or 3 months, as prescribed in the Guidelines on Financial Reporting for Insurers issued by BNM.
An impairment loss in respect of insurance receivables is recognised in income statements 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 financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced
through the use of an allowance account.
If, in subsequent period, the fair value of insurance receivable increases and the increase can be objectively related
to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in income statements, the impairment loss is
reversed, to the extent that the insurance receivables’ 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 the income statements.
3.9.3Other assets
The carrying amounts of other assets (except for deferred tax assets and investment property that is measured
at fair value) are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment. For goodwill that have indefinite useful lives, the recoverable amount is estimated each period at the
same time.
When indication of impairment exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For the purpose of impairment
testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets (known as the “cash-generating unit”) that
generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or
groups of assets or cash-generating unit.
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 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 the income statements. 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 or the group of cash-generating units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the cashgenerating unit (or a group of cash-generating units) on a pro rata basis.

3.9Impairment (cont’d)
3.9.3Other 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 date 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 income statements in the year in which the reversals are recognised.
3.10 Product classification
The Group issues contracts that transfer insurance risk.
Insurance contracts are those contracts that transfer significant insurance risk. An insurance contract is a contract under
which the Group (the insurer) has accepted significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholders) by agreeing to
compensate the policyholders if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholders.
As a general guideline, the Group determines whether it has significant insurance risk, by comparing benefits paid with
benefits payable if the insured event did not occur.
Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract for the remainder of its lifetime, even if the insurance risk reduces significantly during this period, unless all rights and obligations are extinguished
or expired.
3.11Reinsurance
The Group cedes the insurance risk in the normal course of business for all its businesses. Reinsurance assets represent
balances due from reinsurance companies. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent
with the outstanding claims provision or settled claims associated with the reinsurer’s policies and are in accordance with
the related reinsurance contracts.
Ceded reinsurance arrangements do not relieve the Group from its obligations to policyholders. Premiums and claims are
presented on a gross basis for both ceded and assumed reinsurance.
Reinsurance assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of
impairment arises during the reporting period. Impairment occurs when there is objective evidence as a result of an event
that occurred after initial recognition of the reinsurance asset that the Group may not receive all outstanding amounts due
under the terms of the contract and the event has a reliably measurable impact on the amounts that the Group will receive
from the reinsurer. The impairment loss is recorded in income statements.
Gains or losses on buying reinsurance, if any, are recognised in income statements.
The Group also assumes reinsurance risk in the normal course of business for general insurance contracts when
applicable.

Kurnia Asia Berhad
annual report 2011
3.11Reinsurance (cont’d)
Premiums and claims on assumed reinsurance are recognised as revenue or expenses in the same manner as they would
be if the reinsurance were considered direct business, taking into account the product classification of the reinsured
business. Reinsurance liabilities represent balances due to reinsurance companies.
Amounts payable are estimated in a manner consistent with the related reinsurance contract.
Reinsurance assets or liabilities are derecognised when the contractual rights are extinguished or expire or when the
contract is transferred to another party.
Reinsurance contracts that do not transfer significant insurance risk are accounted for directly through the statements of
financial position. These are deposit assets or financial liabilities that are recognised based on the consideration paid or
received less any explicit identified premiums or fees to be retained by the reinsured.
3.12Commission agency expenses
Gross commission and agency expenses, which are costs directly incurred in securing premium on insurance policies,
and income derived from reinsurers in the course of ceding of premiums to reinsurers, are charged to income statements
in the period in which they are incurred or deferred where appropriate as set out in Note 3.17.3.
3.13Equity instruments
All equity instruments are stated at cost on initial recognition and are not remeasured subsequently.
3.13.1Issue expenses
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of equity instruments are recognised as a deduction from
equity.
3.13.2Repurchase of share capital
When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly
attributable costs, is recognised as a deduction from equity and is not re-valued for subsequent changes in the
fair value or market price of shares. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares in the statement of
changes in equity.
Where treasury shares are distributed as share dividends, the cost of the treasury shares is applied in the
reduction of the share premium account or distributable reserves, or both.
Where treasury shares are reissued by re-sale in the open market, the difference between the sales consideration
net of directly attributable costs and the carrying amount of the treasury shares is recognised in equity.

3.14Employee benefits
3.14.1Short 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.
The Group’s and the Company’s contributions to the Employees’ Provident Fund are charged to the income
statements in the period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group and the
Company have no further payment obligations.
3.14.2Defined benefit plan
The Group’s and the Company’s net obligation in respect of the defined benefit retirement plan is calculated by
estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and
prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine the present value. Any unrecognised past service costs and
the fair value of the plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the end of the reporting period
on high quality corporate bonds or government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the
Group’s and the Company’s obligation and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are
expected to be paid. The calculation is performed by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.
When the calculation results in a benefit to the Group and the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the
net total of any unrecognised past service costs and the present value of any future refunds from the plan or
reductions in future contributions to the plan.
When the benefits of the plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by
employees is recognised as an expense in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the average period
until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits vest immediately, the expense is recognised
immediately in the income statements.
In calculating the Group’s and the Company’s obligation in respect of a plan, to the extent that any cumulative
unrecognised actuarial gain or loss exceeds ten percent of the greater of the present value of the defined benefit
obligation and the fair value of plan assets, if any, that portion is recognised in the income statements over the
expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan. Otherwise, the actuarial
gain or loss is not recognised.
The latest actuarial valuation on the Group’s and the Company’s obligations for their defined benefit plans was
carried out on 22 February 2011.

3.15 Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group and the Company have a present legal or constructive
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of discount is
recognised as finance cost.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably,
the obligation 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.
Contingent liabilities do not include liabilities arising from contracts of insurance underwritten in the ordinary course of
business of the Group.
3.16Other financial liabilities and payables
Other financial liabilities and payables are recognised when due and measured on initial recognition at the fair value of the
consideration received less directly attributable transactions costs.
3.17 General insurance underwriting results
The general insurance underwriting results are determined for each class of business after taking into account inter alia
reinsurances, commissions, unearned premiums and claims incurred.
3.17.1 Premium income
Premium is recognised in a financial period in respect of risks assumed during that particular financial period
except for inwards treaty reinsurance premiums which are recognised on the basis of periodic advices / accounts
received from ceding insurers.
3.17.2Insurance contract liabilities
General insurance contract liabilities are recognised when contracts are entered into and premiums are
charged.
These liabilities comprise provision for unearned premiums and provision for outstanding claims.
3.17.2.1 Provision for unearned premiums
Provision for unearned premiums is the higher of the aggregate of the Unearned Premium Reserves
(“UPR”) for all lines of business and the best estimate value of the Unexpired Risk Reserves (“URR”)
at the required risk margin for adverse deviation.

3.17 General insurance underwriting results (cont’d)
3.17.2Insurance contract liabilities (cont’d)
3.17.2.1 Provision for unearned premiums (cont’d)
Unearned premium reserves
The UPR represents the premiums received for risks that have not yet expired. Generally, the reserve
is released over the term of the contract and is recognised as premium income.
In determining the UPR at the end of the reporting period, the method that most accurately reflects
the actual unearned premium reserves is as follows:
-
-
-
-
25% method for marine cargo, aviation cargo and transit business of annual Malaysian general
policies
1/24th method for all other classes of annual Malaysian general policies
1/8th method for all other classes of annual overseas inward treaty business
non-annual policies are time-apportioned over the period of the risks
The UPR is adjusted for additional UPR in respect of premiums ceded to overseas reinsurers as
required under the guidelines issued by BNM.
Unexpired risk reserves
At each reporting date, the Group reviews its unexpired risks and a liability adequacy test is performed
to determine whether there is any overall excess of expected claims and deferred acquisition costs
over unearned premiums. This calculation uses current estimates of future contractual cash flows
(taking into consideration current loss ratios) after taking account of the investment return expected
to arise on assets relating to the relevant general insurance technical provisions. If these estimates
show that the carrying amount of the unearned premiums less related deferred acquisition costs is
inadequate, the deficiency is recognised in income statements by setting up a provision for liability
adequacy.
3.17.2.2 Provision for outstanding claims
Outstanding claims provision are based on the estimated ultimate cost of all claims incurred but
not settled at the end of the reporting period, whether reported or not, together with related claims
handling costs and reduction for the expected value of salvage and other recoveries. Delays can
be experienced in the notification and settlement of certain types of claims, therefore, the ultimate
cost of these claims cannot be known with certainty at the end of the reporting period. The liability is
calculated at the reporting date by an independent actuarial firm using projection techniques as set
out in Note 3.18 that included a regulatory risk margin for adverse deviation. The liability is discounted
for the time value of money. No provision for equalisation or catastrophe reserves is recognised. The
liabilities are derecognised when the contract expires, is discharged or is cancelled.

3.17 General insurance underwriting results (cont’d)
3.17.3 Acquisition costs and deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”)
The gross cost of acquiring and renewing insurance policies net of income derived from ceding reinsurance
premiums is recognised as incurred and properly allocated to the periods in which it is probable they give rise
to income. Acquisition costs or ceding income which are not recoverable, or not payable in the event of a
termination of the policy to which they relate, are not deferred but are recognised in the period in which they
occur.
Those costs are deferred to the extent that these costs are recoverable out of future premiums. All other
acquisition costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these costs are amortised on a straight-line basis based on the term of expected
future premiums. Amortisation is recognised in income statements.
An impairment review is performed at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment
arises. When the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognised in income
statements. DAC is also considered in the liability adequacy test for each accounting period.
DAC is derecognised when the related contracts are either settled or disposed of.
3.18Valuation of general insurance contract liabilities
For general insurance contracts, estimates have to be made for both the expected ultimate cost of claims reported at the
end of the reporting period and for the expected ultimate cost of claims incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR”) at the end
of the reporting period.
It can take a significant period of time before the ultimate claims costs can be established with certainty and for some type
of policies, IBNR claims form the majority of the statements of financial position liability. The ultimate cost of outstanding
claims is estimated by using a range of standard actuarial claims projection techniques, such as Chain Ladder and
Bornheutter-Ferguson methods.
The main assumption underlying these techniques is that a company’s past claims development experience can be
used to project future claims development and hence, the ultimate claims costs. As such, these methods extrapolate
the development of paid and incurred losses, average costs per claim and claims numbers based on the observed
development of earlier years and expected loss ratios. Historical claims development is mainly analysed by accident
years, but can also be further analysed by significant business lines and claims type. Large claims are usually separately
addressed, either by being reserved at the face value of loss adjustor estimates or separately projected in order to reflect
their future development. In most cases, no explicit assumptions are made regarding their future rates of claims inflation
or loss ratios. Instead, the assumptions used are implicit in the historic claims development data on which the projections
are based.
Additional qualitative judgement is used to assess the extent to which past trends may not apply in future, (for example,
to reflect one-off occurrences, changes in external or market factors such as public attitudes to claiming, economic
conditions, level of claims inflation, judicial decisions and legislation, as well as internal factors such as portfolio mix, policy
features and claims handling procedures) in order to arrive at the estimated ultimate cost of claims that present the likely
outcome for the range of possible outcomes, taking account of all the uncertainties involved.

3.19Other revenue recognition
3.19.1Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method except where an interest bearing
investments is considered non-performing, i.e. where repayments are in arrears for more than six months, in
which case recognition of such interest is suspended. Subsequent to suspension, interest income is recognised
on the receipt basis until all arrears have been paid.
3.19.2Dividend income
Dividend income represents gross dividends from quoted and unquoted investments and is recognised in the
income statements when the right to receive payment is established.
3.19.3Rental income
Rental income is recognised on an accrual basis except where default in payment of rent has already occurred
and rent due remains outstanding for over six months, in which case recognition of rental income is suspended.
Subsequent to suspension, rental income is recognised on the receipt basis until all arrears have been paid.
3.19.4Realised gains and losses on investments
Realised gains and losses recorded in income statements on investments include gains and losses on financial
assets and investment properties. Gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated as the difference
between net sales proceeds and the original or amortised costs and are recorded on occurrence of the sale
transaction.
3.20Tax expense
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Tax expense is recognised in the income statements 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 on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised using liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities in the statements of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the
temporary differences in relation to 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 at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against
which 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.

3.21Earnings per share
The Group presents basic earnings per shares (“EPS”) data for its ordinary shares. 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. No diluted EPS is disclosed in these financial statements as there are no dilutive potential
ordinary shares.
3.22Operating segments
4.
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.
An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker, which in the case
is the Chief Executive Officer of the Group, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess
its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Revaluation of land and buildings
The Group’s land and buildings have been revalued during the year based on valuations performed by independent professional
qualified valuers. The fair value of the land and buildings are the estimated market value of the property derived using the market
value of properties in the vicinity and past transaction prices.
Had the land and buildings of the Group been carried under cost model, their carrying amounts would have been as follows:Group

The entire carrying amount of goodwill was allocated to the general insurance business unit in Indonesia, PT Kurnia Insurance
Indonesia (“KII”), which represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management
purposes.
The goodwill was fully impaired in 2010, after management had considered the past historical financial track record and the
uncertainties over the profitability of the cash-generating unit in the immediate future.

Estimation of fair values
The carrying amount of other receivables approximates its fair value due to the relatively short term nature of the financial
instruments.
The fair value of other receivables after 12 months was determined to approximate the carrying amounts as it is immaterial in the
context of the financial statements.
12.1Amounts due from subsidiaries
The amounts due from subsidiaries are unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand.

During the financial year, CIMB agreed to extend the principal repayment of RM80,000,000 which was due in
September 2011 to May 2012. Given that the Company had on 3 April 2012 obtained the approval from MOF via
BNM to enter into an agreement with AmG to dispose the Company’s 100% equity interest in KIMB to AmG, the
Board of Directors intends to seek further extension of time from CIMB to repay the RM80,000,000 to facilitate
the completion of the proposed disposal.

Principal actuarial assumptions at the end of the reporting period (expressed as weighted average):
Group

Company
2010
2011
2010
Discount rate at 31 December (per annum)

4.50%
4.50%
4.50%
Future salary increases (per annum)
6.00%
6.00%
6.00%
6.00%
The discount rate used is based on market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds. The
amount and terms of the corporate bonds are consistent with the current and estimated future post-employment benefit
obligation.
Assumption regarding future mortality is based on the experience of Malaysian insured lives between 1983 and 1988 with
allowance for improvement in mortality rates allowed for by applying a 25% reduction to the standard rate. The average
expected future working lives has been estimated at 7.9 years.
Calculation of the unfunded defined retirement benefits involves the projection of the present value for unfunded obligations
using certain principal actuarial assumptions such as the rate of interest at which to discount the future retirement benefits
payments at the valuation date and the assumed rate of growth of liabilities, namely the rate of salary escalation. There
are elements of uncertainty on the assumptions used and thus the projected future retirement benefits payable may be
different from the actual retirement benefits paid.
Under the scheme, eligible employees who have completed a minimum of 10 years of service are entitled to retire at 56
years of age or optional retirement age of 50 years. Employees who leave before the attainment of the normal retirement
age or optional retirement age, are not entitled to the benefit.
All new employees who are hired after 18 March 2011 will cease to be entitled for the retirement benefit.

37.Risk management framework
Risk management overview
The Board is committed to implement Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) to drive towards maintaining good governance and
internal control system. The role of risk management is to ensure the risks are properly identified, evaluated and managed as to
protect and increase the Group’s long-term value to its shareholders and other stakeholders.
Risk management strategy
The risk management strategy formulated by the Risk Management Committee (“RMC”) and approved by the Board, serves to
ensure the risk management framework, processes and internal control system are in place to identify, monitor, evaluate and
manage the material risk consistently across all activities.
Role and responsibility
The RMC’s responsibility is to oversee the activities in risk management and legal compliance. These include matters relating to
the identification, assessment, monitoring and management of risks associated with the operations of the Group.
The focus of the RMC is to support the Board to fulfill its duties in the oversight of activities in risk and business continuity
management and legal compliance.
page
Kurnia Asia Berhad
annual report 2011

37.Risk management framework (cont’d)
Role and responsibility (cont’d)
The roles of the RMC are:
•
To approve risk management strategies and policies, monitor their implementation and review them at least once a year, to
ensure they remain relevant and effective;
•
Periodically assess the adequacy of these risk management policies and framework, inclusive of Business Continuity
Management and Compliance Management framework;
•
To define the risk appetite or the level of risk tolerance of the Group based on internal capacity and business objectives;
•
To monitor the risk exposures regularly to ensure there is satisfactory level of internal control;
•
To ensure that all significant risk factors and impact have been duly considered before approving new business initiatives or
strategic changes;
•
To ensure that the infrastructure is adequate and resources are sufficiently in place for ERM personnel to perform their roles
effectively;
•
To ensure ERM personnel are adequately trained and are performing their duties independently from the Group’s risk taking
activities;
•
To monitor compliance risk with regards to legal and regulatory requirements; and
•
To receive reports on risk management activities, review them and make recommendation to the Board when necessary.
38.Insurance risk
The general insurance contracts written by the Group are mostly on annual coverage and annual premium basis, with the
exception of short term policies such as Travel Insurance which covers only the travel period and Marine cargo which covers the
duration in which the cargo is being transported.
The majority of the general insurance business is motor insurance. Other insurance business includes Fire, Marine, Personal
Accident, Engineering, Liabilities, Workmen Compensation and Employer Liabilities and other miscellaneous classes.
The objectives of managing insurance risks are to enhance the financial performance of the business and limit any excessive
variability of the insurance results.
Insurance risk includes the risk of incurring higher claims cost than expected owing to the random nature of claims and their
frequency and severity and the risk of change in legal or economic conditions of insurance or reinsurance cover. This may result
in the insurer having either received too little premium for the risks it has agreed to underwrite and hence has not enough funds
to invest and pay claims, or that claims are in excess of those expected.

Kurnia Asia Berhad
annual report 2011
38.Insurance risk (cont’d)
Underwriting insurance contracts involves the pooling of a large number of uncorrelated risks to reduce relative variability. The
Group adopts the following measures to manage the general insurance risk:
•
•
•
•
Underwriting standards, by performing risk selection to control the exposure in accordance to the Group’s established
guidelines;
Claims management, to pay claims fairly and control claims leakages and fraud;
Pricing and reserve standards, to ensure adequate premium charge for risk and valuation of insurance liabilities; and
Reinsurance protection, to limit exposure to large insurance contracts and catastrophe exposure.
Concentration risk is particularly relevant in the case of natural disasters and other catastrophes. The Group’s concentration
risk is negligible as the Group’s insurance contracts mostly cover perils and risks in Malaysia and Malaysia is hardly exposed to
natural disasters.
The table below sets out the concentration of general insurance business by type of product.

38.1Insurance claims liabilities for general insurance
The insurance contract liabilities comprised claims and premium liabilities and are computed in accordance with sound
actuarial principles and regulatory guidelines.
These liabilities comprise:
•
•
•
best estimate of the premium liabilities;
best estimate of the claims liabilities; and
margins for adverse deviation with no less than a 75% probability of adequacy.
38.1.1Valuation methodology
Various actuarial techniques are used to project the provision for claims and loss adjustment expenses and
provision for unexpired risk (claims and premium liabilities). These methods include:
•
•
•
•
paid chain-ladder method (inflation and non-inflation adjusted, operational time and standard time,
Bornhuetter Ferguson (BF) adjustments);
reported chain-ladder method (operational time and standard time, Bornhuetter Ferguson (BF) adjusted);
projected case estimates; and
frequency/severity method.
The valuation process involves using the Group’s gross claims and policies data and net claims and policies
data to estimate future claims experience. These insurance liabilities have been derived on a gross basis and are
subsequently adjusted for reinsurance and other recoveries for a net basis.
38.1.2 Key assumptions
The principal assumptions underlying the estimation of liabilities is that the Group’s future claims development will
follow a similar pattern to past claims development experience. This includes assumptions in respect of average
claim cost, claim handling costs, claims inflation factors and average number of claims for each accident year.
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 claiming, economic
conditions, as well as internal factors, such as portfolio mix, policy conditions and claims handling procedures.
In this regards, an analysis performed on the claims data on an individual claims basis indicated that:•
Part of the value in the case estimates relates to claims that will be settled with no further payment, which
amount is expected to more than offset the future development required on claims that will settle for more
than current case estimates and so lead to a reduction in the average size of claims to be settled;
•
Despite annual reviews, there are a number of claims cases with no further development after the initial
provision that will be closed after 6 years, or earlier upon due verification of no claims from third parties,
which will result in a reduction in case estimates in the subsequent years. There are also a number of claims
where liability may be in question but the reserves are held assuming a 100% liability.

38.1Insurance claims liabilities for general insurance (cont’d)
38.1.2 Key assumptions (cont’d)
This has led to a key assumption that the high probability of claims continuing to settle for no additional cost will
in turn lead to a reduction in the average amount per open claim to a level which is lower than the current average
case estimates across most accident years for the Motor Act classes.
Other key circumstances affecting the reliability of assumptions include variation of interest rates, delays in
settlement and changes in foreign currency rates.
The key assumptions of the actuarial valuation models include:
•
•
•
•
chain-ladder claim development factors
loss ratios
expense ratios
reinsurance recovery ratios
These assumptions are based on the Group’s historical underwriting experience.
For the valuation as at 31 December 2011, the basis of liability valuation assumptions has not been changed as
compared to 31 December 2010.
38.1.3 Margin for adverse deviation
In accordance with the insurance regulations, the insurance liabilities include a risk margin with no less than a
75% probability of adequacy.
The risk margin is determined to allow for the uncertainty and volatility of the claims experience. Effects of
diversification on the risk margin, arising from writing diversified lines of business, are also taken into account.
38.1.4Discounting
The insurance liabilities have been discounted using the risk-free discount rate derived from a yield curve as
follows:
•
•
for durations of less than 15 years, zero-coupon spot yield of MGS with matching duration, and
for durations of 15 years or more, zero-coupon spot yield of MGS with 15 years term to maturity.

38.1.5 Sensitivities
The general insurance claim liabilities are sensitive to 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 for reasonable possible movements in key assumptions with all other assumptions
held constant, showing the impact on Gross and Net liabilities, Profit before tax and Equity. The correlation of
assumptions will have a significant effect in determining the ultimate claims liabilities, but to demonstrate the
impact due to changes in assumptions, assumptions had to be changed on an individual basis.

38.1.6Claims development table
The following tables show the estimate of cumulative incurred claims, including both claims notified and IBNR for
each successive accident year at the end of each reporting period, together with cumulative payment to date.
While the information in the tables provides a historical perspective on the adequacy of the unpaid claims
estimate established in previous years, users of these financial statements are cautioned against extrapolating
redundancies or deficiencies of the past on current unpaid loss balances.
The management of the Group believes that the estimates of total claims outstanding as of 31 December 2011
are adequate. However, due to the inherent uncertainties in the reserving process, it cannot be assured that such
balances will ultimately prove to be adequate.

39.Financial risk
39.1Financial risk management objectives and policies
Exposure to credit, liquidity, market (currency risk, interest rate yield risk and price risk) and operational risk arises in the
normal course of the Group’s and the Company’s business. The Board of Directors assumes overall responsibility for the
Group’s and the Company’s financial risk management and has established certain committees to address these risks on
an ongoing basis.
39.2Credit risk
Credit risk represents the potential losses that may result due to the inability of the counterparties to insurance, reinsurance
and investment transactions in meeting their contractual obligations.
The Group has a credit control department and a credit policy in place and the exposure of credit risk is monitored on
an ongoing basis. Investments are made based on appropriate evaluations, in accordance with Guidelines / Circulars
issued by BNM, whereby all bond investments must carry a minimum rating of BBB or P3 by rating agencies established
in Malaysia.
At the end of the reporting period, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit
risk for the Group is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset.
The Group considers rating BBB and above as investment grades. Financial assets which are not rated by rating agencies
are classified as non- rated.
39.3Credit exposure
The table below shows the maximum exposure to credit risks for the financial assets components on the statements of

Included in other receivables is a non-performing loan of RM6,000,000 (2010: RM6,000,000). The Group does
not specifically monitor the ageing of the loan. Nevertheless, this amount has been overdue for more than 1
year.
At the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that the loan is not recoverable as it is secured by land
charged by the borrower with carrying value of approximately RM12,000,000 (2010: RM12,000,000) determined
based on valuation performed by an independent professional qualified valuer.
39.3.5Impaired financial assets
At 31 December 2011, based on collective and individual assessment of receivables, there are impaired
insurance receivables of RM17,775,000 (2010: RM30,121,000). No collateral is held as security for any past
due or impaired assets. The Group records impairment allowance for loans and receivables and insurance
receivables in separate Allowance for impaired loss accounts. A reconciliation of the allowance for impairment
losses for loans and receivables and insurance receivables is as follows:

39.4Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk whereby the Group entities are unable to meet their obligations at a reasonable cost or at any time.
The Group and the Company manage this risk by monitoring its daily and monthly estimated and actual cash flows. The
Group and the Company also hold a sufficient quantity of liquid investments that can be readily converted to cash.
The following policies and procedures are in place to mitigate the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to liquidity risk:
•
The Group and the Company set guidelines on asset allocations, portfolio limit structures and maturity profiles of the
assets, in order to ensure sufficient funding is available to meet insurance and investment contracts obligations.
•
The Group and the Company monitor their liquidity risk and maintain a level of cash and cash flow deemed adequate
by management to finance their operations and to mitigate the effect of fluctuations in cash requirements.
•
The Group’s catastrophe excess-of-loss reinsurance contracts contain clauses permitting the immediate draw down
of funds to meet claims payments should claim events exceed a certain amount.
39.4.1 Maturity profiles
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the financial liabilities of the Group and the Company based
on remaining undiscounted contractual obligations, including interest / profit payable.
For insurance claims liabilities, maturity profiles are determined based on estimated timing of net cash outflows
from the recognised insurance liabilities.
The carrying value of the insurance claims liabilities have been discounted using the risk-free discount rate
derived from a yield curve as follows:
•
•
for durations of less than 15 years, zero-coupon spot yield of MGS with matching duration, and
for durations of 15 years or more, zero-coupon spot yield of MGS with 15 years term to maturity.

39.5 Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from uncertainty concerning movements in the market prices and rates, including
observable variables such as interest rates and others that may be only indirectly observable such as volatilities and
correlations. Market risk includes factors such as changes in economic environment, consumption pattern and investor’s
expectation which may have significant impact on the value of the investments.
The Group’s investment portfolio is generally exposed to fluctuation in market prices. Risk and returns are constantly
monitored and reviewed by the Investment Committee Members.
The Group and the Company distinguish market risk as follows:
•
•
•
Currency risk
Interest rate risk
Price risk
39.5.1Foreign currency risk
The Group and the Company are exposed to foreign currency risk on gross direct premiums, reinsurance
outwards, claims and intra-group borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective
functional currencies of the Group’s entities. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily Singapore Dollar
(SGD), Indonesian Rupiah and Thai Baht.
In respect of monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies other than RM, the Group entities ensure that the
net exposure is kept to an acceptable level. The exposure to currency risk of the Group entities is not material,
and hence sensitivity analysis is not presented.
39.5.2Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rate/profit yield.
Floating rate/yield instruments expose the Group and the Company to cash flow interest/profit risk, whereas
fixed rate/yield instruments expose the Group and the Company to fair value interest/profit risk.
The Group’s earnings are affected by changes in market interest rates as the impact of such changes has an
effect on interest income from deposit placements and fixed income securities. To mitigate the interest rate risk,
the deposit placements are made with various financial institutions at varying maturity dates and rates. Hence,
the Group has no significant concentration of interest rate/profit yield risk.
The Company’s variable rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to changes in interest
rates.

constant, showing the impact on profit before tax (due to changes in fair value of floating rate/yield financial
instruments) and equity (that reflects adjustments to profit before tax and re-valuing fixed rate/yield AFS financial
assets). The correlation of variables will have a significant effect in determining the ultimate impact on interest
rate/profit yield risk but to demonstrate the impact due to changes in variables, variables had to be changed on
an individual basis. It should be noted that movements in these variables are non-linear.

The method used for deriving sensitivity information and significant variables did not change from the previous
period.
39.5.3 Price risk
Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest/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 price risk exposure relates to financial assets and financial liabilities whose values will fluctuate
as result of changes in market prices.
The Group’s price risk policy requires it to manage such risk by setting and monitoring objectives and constraints
on investments, diversification plans, limits on investments in each country, sector, market and issuer, having
regard also to such limits stipulated by BNM. The Group complies with BNM stipulated limits during the financial
year and has no significant concentration of price risk.

The method used for deriving sensitivity information and significant variables did not change from the previous

39.6Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of negotiable instruments of deposits is based on indicative market price as determined by the issuer at the
end of the reporting period.
The fair values of quoted shares of corporations, unit and property funds trust are based on quoted closing market prices
at the end of the reporting period.
The fair values of collective investment funds are based on the net asset values of the unit trusts as at the date of the
statements of assets and liabilities obtained from fund managers.
The estimated fair values of Malaysian government securities, Cagamas bonds, Government guaranteed bonds and
unquoted corporate debt securities are based on the average indicative market yields obtained from three financial
institutions which involve projections of the market yields based on past transactions. There are elements of significant
uncertainty in projecting the expected market yield and these uncertainties arise from changes in the underlying risk
and overall economic conditions. As such, the projected market yields may be different from the actual market yields in
future.
page
Kurnia Asia Berhad
annual report 2011
127
39.6Fair value of financial instruments (cont’d)
The carrying amount of secured short term loans and fixed and call deposits with a maturity period less than one year are
assumed to approximate their fair values.
The mortgage loans with variable rates are considered to approximate their fair values. For mortgage and other loans
with fixed rates, fair values are derived by discounting future cash flows, using interest rates for similar instruments,
where applicable, taking into consideration the nature and contracted terms of these loans. Based on management’s
assessment as at 31 December 2011, the estimated fair values of the loans approximate their carrying values.
It was not practical to estimate the fair value of the Group’s investment in unquoted shares of corporations due to the lack
of comparable quoted market price and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs.
39.7Fair value hierarchy
Comparative figures have not been presented for 31 December 2010 by virtue of the exemption provided in paragraph
44G of FRS7.
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been
defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

39.8Operational risks
Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from system failure, human error, fraud or external events. When controls fail to
perform, operational risk can cause damage to reputation, 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 manage the risks. Controls include effective segregation of duties,
access controls, authorisation and reconciliation procedures, staff training and evaluation procedures, including the use
of Internal Audit.
Business risks, such as changes in environment, technology and the industry are monitored through the Group’s strategic
planning and budgeting process.
40.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-to-equity ratio that complies with debt covenants and
regulatory requirements.
There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year.
Under the requirement of Bursa Malaysia Practice Note No. 17/2005, the Company is required to maintain a consolidated
shareholders’ equity equal to or not less than the 25% of the issued and paid up capital (excluding treasury shares) and such
shareholders’ equity is not less than RM40 million. The Company has complied with this requirement.
The Malaysian insurance subsidiary of the Group is subject to the RBC Framework which came into effect on 1 January 2009.
Under the RBC Framework, insurance companies need to maintain a capital adequacy level that commensurate with their risk
profiles. All insurance companies are required to maintain a minimum Capital Adequacy Ratio (“CAR”) of 130%.
The Malaysian insurance subsidiary of the Group has met its regulatory requirement and has a CAR in excess of the minimum
requirement.

to the members of Kurnia Asia Berhad
We have audited the financial statements of Kurnia Asia Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial position as at 31 December
2011 of the Group and of the Company, and the income statements, statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and
cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information, as set out on pages 46 to 128.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view in
accordance with Financial Reporting Standards as modified by Bank Negara Malaysia Guidelines and the Companies Act, 1965 in
Malaysia, and for such internal control as the Directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of
financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards as modified by
Bank Negara Malaysia Guidelines and the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of
the Group and of the Company as of 31 December 2011 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended.

Kurnia Asia Berhad
annual report 2011

to the members of Kurnia Asia Berhad (cont’d)
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2.2 in the financial statements which discloses the premise upon which
the Company has prepared its financial statements by applying the going concern assumption, notwithstanding that the Company
incurred a net loss of RM10,593,000 during the year ended 31 December 2011, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities
exceeded its current assets by RM243,690,000 which may indicate the existence of a significant uncertainty about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has considered prospective cash flow information and events that may occur in the next twelve months and the
possible actions to be taken by the Company. In this regards, the Company had on 3 April 2012 obtained approval from Minister of
Finance via Bank Negara Malaysia, to enter into an agreement with AmG Insurance Berhad to dispose the Company’s 100% equity
interest in Kurnia Insurans (Malaysia) Berhad.
The validity of the going concern assumption in the preparation of financial statements is dependent on the successful outcome of the
various initiatives being undertaken by the Company and the Company achieving future profitable operations. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, and relating to amounts and
classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
