For the financial year ended 31 March 2019 (“FYE2019”), the Group generated revenue of RM469.47 million
compared to RM482.46 million recorded last year, representing a decrease of 2.7%. The decrease is mainly
attributable to the decline in contributions from Plantation and Manufacturing divisions by 23.0% or RM35.31
million and 4.3% or RM6.00 million, respectively.
The lower revenue recorded by the Plantation division y-o-y was reflective of the lower commodity prices. Our
average CIF Crude Palm Oil (“CPO”) selling price (net of duty) in FYE2019 declined significantly by 18.0% to
RM1,921 per MT (FYE2018: RM2,342 per MT). The average Crude Palm Kernel Oil (“CPKO”) price achieved was also
lower y-o-y at RM3,015 per MT (FYE2018: RM4,431 per MT). Lower production of CPO to 47,966 MT (FYE2018:
51,887 MT) also contributed to the decline in the division’s revenue.
Manufacturing division’s revenue performance had been largely impacted by the expiration of a major supply
contract.
Bulking division’s revenue increased significantly by 51.6% y-o-y to RM81.15 million compared to RM53.54 million
in the prior year on the back of the higher throughput achieved for most of the products segments, in particular,
edible oil, oleochemicals, industrial chemicals and base oil, offsetting the decline in latex. Total throughput
improved by 14.1% y-o-y.
Food division’s revenue rose 0.8% to RM130.32 million from RM129.27 million recorded in the previous year on the
back of improved sales in the canned mackerel and tuna loin segments. Sales volumes for tuna and mackerel in the
domestic PNG market grew 16.39% to 525,103 cartons (FYE2018: 451,165 cartons). However, the increase in revenue
was offset by the reduced contribution from the division’s canned tuna (export) segment both in terms of volume
and value.

Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia, vide its written

appeal and ruled that the Ministerial Order revoking
PTNJL’s HGU be annulled. The Mahkamah Agung
also ordered the Menteri Agraria dan Tata Ruang/
Kepala Badan Pertahanan Nasional Republik Indonesia
(“Defendant”) to simultaneously:
i. issue an order cancelling PTNJL’s HGU rights over

the areas overlapping with third party interests
measuring 3,500 hectares; and
ii. issue a new HGU certificate in favour of PTNJL for

an area measuring 16,474.130 hectares, (which is
19,974.130 hectares less the 3,500 hectares referred
to in paragraph (i) above).
Arising therefrom, the impairment of property, plant

and equipment previously affected by the Ministerial
Order was reversed in Q2 of FYE2019.
We had also announced in February 2019 that the

Defendant had subsequently made a judicial review
application to set aside the decision. This was followed
by PTNJL filing a counter-memorandum in March 2019
in response thereof. Our Indonesian solicitors have
advised that based on normal timelines for judicial
review, we could expect the decision to be made in
six to twelve months from the date PTNJL’s counter-
memorandum was filed. Further, commencement of
the judicial review proceedings do not prevent the
implementation of the Mahkamah Agung’s written
decision as aforementioned.
During the year, PTNJL commenced construction of a

“terminal khusus” (specific terminal) at the estate. The
terminal which was completed in this current financial
year has locational advantages as it will allow for
more efficient loading and dispatch of PTNJL’s CPO
and CPKO thereby reducing transport costs as well as
PTNJL’s environmental footprint.

Access to information, independent advice and indemnification
The Board is supplied with the information it needs to discharge its duties. The Company Secretaries are responsible
for ensuring good information flows within the Board and Committees and between senior management and
the Board. The Directors also have the opportunity to visit the Group’s operational facilities and meet with the
Management to facilitate a better understanding of the Group’s business operations.
Directors, after consultation with the Chairman, may seek independent advice in furtherance of their duties at
the Company’s expense. Directors also have access to members of senior management at any time to request
relevant information.
Under the Company’s Constitution and to the extent permitted by law, the Company indemnifies Directors and
its officers against liabilities to third parties in their capacity as officers of the Company and against certain legal
costs incurred in defending an action for such a liability.
Company Secretaries
The Company Secretaries play an advisory role to the Board in relation to the Company’s Constitution, proceedings
of meetings, policies and procedures and compliance with the relevant statutory and regulatory requirements,
guidelines as well as the principles and recommendations of best practices set out in the MCCG.
The Company had two (2) Company Secretaries during the financial year. The Company Secretaries report
directly to the Board, through the Chairman, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board.
This includes advising the Board and its Committees on governance matters, coordinating Board business and
providing a point of reference for dealings between the Board and Management. The Company Secretaries also
informs the Directors of upcoming conferences and seminars relevant to their roles as Directors of the Company.
Each Director has the ability to communicate with the Company Secretaries. Decisions to appoint or remove the
Company Secretaries are made or approved by the Board.
The Company Secretaries’ profiles are available under Our Key Senior Management of this Annual Report.
Board Charter
The Board Charter is a statement of the practices and processes the Board has adopted in the discharge of its
responsibilities, including matters reserved for the Board and the delegation of authority to the Board Committees.
It also sets out the roles and responsibilities of the Board Committees, individual Directors, Chairman, Group MD
as well as Senior Independent Director. The Board Charter also defines the relationship and interaction between
the Board and Management.
The Board had on 30 May 2019, revised its Board Charter to include provisions on tenure of appointment and
re-appointment Directors, dividend policy and the Group Sustainability Committee. The revised Board Charter is
available in the ‘Investors’ section of the Company’s website.

corporate governance and responsible business practices. Among them are Whistle-Blowing Policy, Corporate
Disclosure Policy, Environmental Policy and Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil Policy. The Company has also

2019 whereby the Company aims to distribute to its shareholders at least 40% of the consolidated profit after

external factors or any other factors that may be considered relevant to the Board. These and other policies are

Appointment process
Since the start of FYE2019, the NRC’s focus has been to refresh the composition of the Board; search for suitable
candidates to assume the role of Chairman and Independent Non-Executive Directors to supplement the
independence and knowledge of the existing Board and to ensure appropriate succession planning is in place,
taking into account the Group’s strategic direction.
The NRC considers the following factors when selecting new Directors and when recommending Directors to the
Board for appointment:
• the aim of having a majority of Independent Directors on the Board and of having an Independent Non-
Executive Chairman;
• the prospective candidates have appropriate range of skills, expertise, experience and diversity to discharge
the Board’s mandate;
• the potential conflict of interests; and
• the ability to devote sufficient time to meet his/her commitments as a Director of the Company as well as the
personality “fit” with the Board and the culture of the Group.

The Group has an enterprise risk management framework which is designed to provide a sound framework for
managing the material risks of conducting business. The framework sets out the standards and processes for
identifying, monitoring and reporting of risks impacting the success of strategic objectives and operating plans.
The Board however, recognizes that the enterprise risk management framework must continually evolve to
support the type of business and size of operations of the Group. As such, the Board will, when necessary, put in
place appropriate action plans to further enhance the Group’s risk management and internal control framework.

Annual Report 2019
Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control

1. INTRODUCTION
The Board acknowledges that the practice of good corporate governance is an on-going process and not just
an annual matter to be covered as compliance in the Annual Report. The Board is committed to practise the
highest standards of corporate governance and observing best practices throughout the Group. The Board’s
Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control is in compliance with Paragraph 15.26(b) of the Bursa
Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa”) Main Market Listing Requirements (“Listing Requirements”) and the
Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers.
2. RESPONSIBILITY
The Board recognises their responsibility for the Group’s system of internal control, which is designed to
identify and manage the principal risks facing the business in pursuit of its objectives, to review its adequacy
and integrity and to ensure good corporate governance. The Management is accountable to the Board for
monitoring the Group’s system of internal control and for providing assurance to the Board that it has done so.
The system of internal control covers risk management, financial, operational, administration, human resource,
information technology and compliance controls to safeguard shareholders’ investments and the Group’s assets.
This system is designed to manage rather than to eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and
can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.
The Board is of the view that the system of internal control and risk management in place for the year under
review, and up to the date of approval of this Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control, is sound and
sufficient to safeguard the Group’s assets, as well as the shareholders’ investments, and the interest of other
stakeholders. The Board has received assurance from the Group Managing Director (“Group MD”) and the Chief
Financial Officer (“CFO”) that the Group’s risk management and internal control system is operating adequately
and effectively, in all material aspects, based on the Group’s risk management and internal control system.
3. INTERNAL CONTROL

The key processes that the Board has established in reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the system of
internal control and risk management systems include the following:
3.1 Operational and follow-up audits are conducted throughout the financial year based on approved annual
audit plan to provide reasonable assurance that the systems of internal controls and its framework, and
governance processes put in place by Management continue to operate satisfactorily and effectively and
to add value and improve the Group’s business operations.
3.2 A meeting of Heads of Divisions which is chaired by Dato’ Roslan bin Hamir is held monthly to deliberate
on the KFima Group’s financial performance, internal audit reports, business development, legal/litigation,
operational, and corporate issues. The Group MD will update the Board of any significant matters that
require the Board’s immediate attention.
3.3 The Group MD actively participates and involves in the day-to-day running of the major businesses and
regular discussions with the senior management.
85
corporate
governance
3.4 There is a budgeting and forecasting system. Each line of business submits a business plan annually for
approval by the Board. The results of the lines of businesses are reported monthly and variances are
analysed against budget and acted on in timely manner. The Group’s strategic directions are also reviewed
annually taking into account changes in market conditions and significant business risks.
3.5 The periodic and streamlining review of limits of authority and other standard operating procedures
within the Group provides a sound framework of authority and accountability within the organisation and
to facilitate quality, well informed and timely corporate decision making at the appropriate level in the
organisation’s hierarchy.
3.6 The compliance function, which includes the Audit and Risk Committee and internal audit function, assists
the Board to oversee the management of risks and review the effectiveness of internal controls. The
Committee reviews reports of the Group Internal Audit Department (“GIA”) and also conducts annual
assessment on the adequacy of the GIA’s scope of work;
3.7 The Audit and Risk Committee convenes regular meetings to deliberate on findings and recommendations
for improvement by both the internal and external auditors on the state of the system of internal control.
Minutes of the Audit and Risk Committee meetings are tabled to the Board.
3.8 Review and award of major contracts by the project committees and teams, subject always to the
delegated authority limits set by the Board. A minimum of three quotations is called for and tenders are
awarded based on criteria such as quality, track record and speed of delivery.
3.9 The Risk Management Committee (“RMC”) convenes meeting annually to review and recommend the risk
management policies, strategies, key risk profiles and risk mitigation actions for the Group and reports to
the Audit and Risk Committee.
3.10 Clearly documented standard operating procedure manuals set out the policies and procedures for day
to day operations to be carried out. Regular reviews are performed to ensure that documentation remains
current, relevant and aligned with evolving business and operational needs.
3.11 The competency of staff is enhanced through rigorous recruitment process and development programmes.
A performance appraisal system of staff is in place, with established targets and accountability and is
reviewed annually.
4. INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTIONS
The Group’s internal audit function is undertaken by GIA which reports directly to the Audit and Risk Committee
and administratively to the Group MD. The GIA assists the Audit and Risk Committee in the discharge of its
duties and responsibilities. Its key role is to provide independent and objective assurance designed to add value
and assist the Group in accomplishing its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate
and improve the effectiveness of risk management, internal control system and governance processes.
The business processes and conduct of the operating units within the Group are continuously assessed by
GIA in the context of adequacy and effectiveness of the financial, operational controls and risk management.
GIA reports to the Audit and Risk Committee and communicates to Management on audit observations noted
in the course of their review and performs monitoring on the status of actions taken by the operating units.
It conducts independent reviews of the key activities within the Group’s operating units based on a detailed
annual audit plan developed using a risk-based methodology including input from Senior Management and the
Audit and Risk Committee, which was approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. The terms of reference of
the GIA are clearly spelt out in its Internal Audit Charter.

Risk management is regarded by the Board as an important aspect of the Group’s diverse and growing
operations with the objective of maintaining a sound internal control system. To this end, the Group has
established the appropriate risk management infrastructure to ensure that the Group’s assets are well-protected
and shareholders’ value enhanced.
The Audit and Risk Committee and the Board is supported by a Risk Management Committee (“RMC”). The RMC
identifies and communicates to the Audit and Risk Committee and the Board the present and potential critical
risks the Group faces, their changes and the Management action plans to manage these risks. The RMC convenes
meeting on a yearly basis to review the key risk profiles and submit a summary reporting to the Audit and Risk
Committee.

The ERM framework adopted by the Group encompasses the risk assessment process, organisational oversight
and reporting function to instil the appropriate discipline and control around continuously improving risk
management capabilities. Risk assessment, monitoring and review of the various risks faced by the Group are
a continuous process within the key operating units with the RMC playing a pivotal oversight function.
The ERM assessment was conducted through a combination of workshops and interviews involving the senior
management and the key enterprise risks faced by the Group’s business units are then reported to the Audit
and Risk Committee on every quarter. The workshops and interviews conducted have generated the following
reports:
(a) Detailed Risk Register

(b) Risk Parameters
(c) ERM Report
These reports were summarised as risk profile and provide the basis for the following:
(a) Business action plans and improvement strategies;

(b) Developing cost effective control strategies; and
(c) Prioritisation of areas for operational audit.

Annual Report 2019
Independent Auditors’ Report

to the members of Kumpulan Fima Berhad (Incorporated in Malaysia)
Report on the financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Kumpulan Fima Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial
position as at 31 March 2019 of the Group and of the Company, and statements of comprehensive income, statements
of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as set out on pages 112 to 205.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group
and of the Company as at 31 March 2019, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then
ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”), International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) and the requirements of the Companies Act, 2016 in Malaysia.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards
on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for
the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence and other ethical responsibilities
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice)
of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-Laws”) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current year. We have determined that there are no
key audit matters to communicate in our report on the financial statements of the Company. The key audit matter
for the financial statements of the Group is described below. These matters were addressed in the context of our
audit of the financial statements of the Group as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter
is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of
procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements.
The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the
basis of our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.
107
financial
statements

Key Audit Matters (cont’d.)
Revenue recognition
(Refer to Note 3 to the financial statements)
Revenue from production of security documents, net sale of oil palm products and sales of food products recognised
by the Group amounted to approximately RM134.8 million, RM118.4 million and RM130.3 million respectively. Given
its magnitude and significant volume of transactions involved, revenue recognition is identified as an area of focus
in our audit.
As part of our audit, we performed the following procedures to address the possible cause of revenue misstatement,
particularly in respect of the timing and amount of revenue recognised:
(a) Obtained an understanding of the Group’s relevant internal controls and tested the controls over timing and
amount of revenue recognised;
(b) Inspected the terms of significant sales contracts to determine the point of transfer of control to customers;
(c) Inspected documents evidencing the delivery of goods to customers; and
(d) Tested the recording of sales transactions close to the year end to establish whether the transactions were
recorded in the correct accounting period.
Review of inventory costing

Included in the Group’s inventories as at 31 March 2019 is work-in-progress amounting to approximately RM33 million
and finished goods amounting to approximately RM20 million derived from the Group’s manufacturing and food
segment respectively. The Group uses standard costing in measuring its finished goods, which includes an element
of estimation in the allocation of overhead costs. We considered this to be a key audit matter given the level of
judgements involved in determining the cost of inventories and the magnitude of the balances.
As part of our audit, we performed the following:
(a) Obtained an understanding of management’s process in the application of standard costing in measuring its
work-in-progress, including the allocation of overhead costs;
(b) We tested the costing on samples of work-in-progress by examining and recomputing the elements which
made up the standard cost;
(c) Assessed the general and logical access controls surrounding the data input process of the inventory system
and the accounting system by involving our IT audit professionals; and
(d) For finished goods, we considered the work of our component auditor in determining the cost of inventories of
focusing on areas similar to (a),(b) and (c) above.
108

Annual Report 2019

Key Audit Matters (cont’d.)
Impairment of goodwill

As at 31 March 2019, the carrying amount of goodwill recognised by the Group amounted to approximately RM12.7
million.
In accordance with MFRS 136: Impairment of Assets, the Group is required to perform annual impairment test of cash
generating units (“CGUs”) or groups of CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated. The Group has allocated the
goodwill to CGU or group of CGUs according to bulking and plantation business segment.

The Group estimated the recoverable amounts of its CGUs or groups of CGUs to which the goodwill are allocated
based value-in-use (“VIU”) method. The recoverable amount based on VIU of CGUs or groups of CGUs involves
estimating the future cash inflows and outflows that will be derived from the CGUs or groups of CGUs, and
discounting them at appropriate rates. The amount and timing of cash flows in the projection are dependent on
the key assumptions made, which in turn are affected by expected future market and economic conditions. The key
assumptions made in relation to the goodwill on consolidation is disclosed in Note 18(b) to the financial statements.
Given the significant judgement involved in the estimation of the VIU and substantial audit effort required in the
assessment of possible variations in the basis and assumptions used by the Group in deriving the recoverable amounts
of the respective CGUs or groups of CGUs, we identified impairment of goodwill to be an area of audit focus.
As part of our audit, we performed the following procedures:
(a) Obtained understanding of the methodologies used by the Group in performing the impairment assessment;
(b) Evaluated key assumptions used in the preparation of the cash flow forecasts against historical evidence,
existing contracts, expectations on future contracts and revenue growth;
(c) Evaluated the appropriateness of the discount rates used to determine the present value of the cash flows; and
(d) Assessed the presentation and disclosures in the financial statements including significant accounting policies.
Information other than the financial statements and auditors’ report thereon
The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements of the Group and the
Company and our auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover the other information and
we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, our responsibility is
to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial statements of the Group and the Company or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.
109
financial
statements

Information other than the financial statements and auditors’ report thereon (cont’d.)
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the
Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with MFRS, IFRS and the requirements of the Companies Act
2016 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary
to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Company that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, the directors are responsible for assessing
the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the
Group or the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on
Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on
Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding on internal control relevant to the audit 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
Group and of the Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the directors.
110

Annual Report 2019

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements (cont’d.)
As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on
Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
(cont’d.)
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that
a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures
in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify
our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Company to cease to continue as a going
concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements of the Group. We are responsible
for the director, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit
opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonable be thought
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in
the audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for current year and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated
in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia, we report that the subsidiaries of which
we have not acted as auditors, are disclosed in Note 41 to the financial statements.
111
financial
statements

Other matters
As stated in Note 2.1 to the financial statements, the Group and the Company adopted MFRS and IFRS on
1 January 2018 with a transition date of 1 April 2017. These standards were applied retrospectively by directors to
the comparative information in these financial statements, including the statement of financial position of the Group
and the Company as at 31 March 2018 and 1 April 2017, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of
changes in equity and statement of cash flows of the Group and the Company for the year ended 31 March 2018 and
related disclosures. We were not engaged to report on the restated comparative information and it is unaudited. Our
responsibilities as part of our audit of the financial statements of the Group and the Company for the year ended
31 March 2019, in these circumstances, included obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence that the opening
balances as at 1 April 2017 do not contain misstatements that materially affect the financial position as at 31 March
2019 and financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended.
This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of the
Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia and for no other purposes. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for
the content of this report.

2. Significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRSs”), International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
and the requirements of the Companies Act, 2016 in Malaysia.
These financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019 are the first the Group and the Company
have prepared in accordance with MFRS, including MFRS 1 - First-time Adoption of Malaysian Financial
Reporting Standards, MFRS 9 Financial Instruments, MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
MFRS 116 - Property, Plant & Equipment and MFRS 141 - Agriculture. For the periods up to and including
the year ended 31 March 2018, the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were prepared
in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards (“FRSs”) in Malaysia.
Subject to certain transition elections as disclosed in Note 44, the Group and the Company have consistently
applied the same accounting policies in their opening MFRS Statements of Financial Position as at 1 April
2017, being the transition date, and throughout all years presented, as if these policies had always been
in effect. Comparative information in these financial statements have been restated to give effect to the
above changes.

The impact of the transition to MFRS to the Group’s and the Company’s reported financial position,
financial performance and cash flows are disclosed in Note 44.
The financial statements are expressed in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) and all values are rounded to the nearest
thousand (RM’000) except where otherwise indicated.

2.2 Standards issued but not yet effective

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as
follows:

Effective for
financial
periods
beginning
Description on or after
MFRS 16: Leases 1 January 2019

Amendments to MFRS 9: Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation 1 January 2019
Amendment to MFRS 119: Employee Benefits Plan Amendment, Curtailment or
Settlement 1 January 2019
Amendments to MFRS 128: Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures 1 January 2019
Annual Improvements to MFRS Standards 2015 - 2017 Cycle 1 January 2019
IC Interpretation 23: Uncertainty over income tax treatments 1 January 2019
Amendments to MFRS 3: Definition of a Business 1 January 2020
Amendments to MFRS 101: Definition of Material 1 January 2020
Amendments to MFRS 108: Definition of Material 1 January 2020
The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 1 January 2020
MFRS 17: Insurance Contracts 1 January 2021
Amendments to MFRS 10 and MFRS 128: Sales or Contribution of Assets between an
Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture Deferred

The directors expect that the adoption of the above standards and interpretations will have no material
impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application except as discussed below:
MFRS 16 Leases

MFRS 16 will replace MFRS 117 Leases, IC Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a
Lease, IC Interpretation 115 Operating Lease-Incentives and IC Interpretation 127 Evaluating the Substance
of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. MFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a
single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under MFRS 117.
At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments and an
asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. Lessees will be required
to recognise interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use
asset.
126

Annual Report 2019

As at 31 March 2019

2.2 Standards issued but not yet effective (cont’d.)

MFRS 16 Leases (cont’d.)

Classification of cash flows will also be affected as operating lease payments under MFRS 117 are presented
as operating cash flows, whereas under MFRS 16, the lease payments will be split into a principal (which will
be presented as financing cash flows) and an interest portion (which will be presented as operating cash
flows).
Lessor accounting under MFRS 16 is substantially the same as the accounting under MFRS 117. Lessors
will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in MFRS 117 and distinguish
between two types of leases: operating and finance leases.
MFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. A lessee can choose to apply
the standard using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Group is currently
assessing the potential effect of MFRS 16 on its financial statements.
2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Subsidiaries and basis of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

A subsidiary company is an entity over which the Group has the following:

(i) Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the
relevant activities of the investee);
(ii) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its investment with the investee; and
(iii) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiary companies are
accounted for at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference
between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss.

(ii) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and
its subsidiary companies as at the reporting date. The financial statements of the subsidiary
companies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prepared for
the same reporting date as the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied for like
transactions and events in similar circumstances.

financial
statements

As at 31 March 2019

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

(a) Subsidiaries and basis of consolidation (cont’d.)

(ii) Basis of consolidation (cont’d.)
The Company controls an investee if and only if the Company has the following:
(i) Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the
relevant activities of the investee);
(ii) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its investment with the investee; and

(iii) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, the Company
considers the following in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee
are sufficient to give it power over the investee:
(i) The size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of
holdings of the other vote holders;
(ii) Potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;
(iii) Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

(iv) Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not
have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to
be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.
Subsidiary companies are consolidated when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary
company and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary company. All intra-
group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-
group transactions are eliminated in full.
Losses within a subsidiary company are attributed to the non-controlling interests even if that
results in a deficit balance.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiary companies that do not result in
the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The
carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to
reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary company. The resulting difference
is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.
128

Annual Report 2019

As at 31 March 2019




When the Group loses control of a subsidiary company, a gain or loss calculated as the
difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the
fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets and
liabilities of the subsidiary company and any non-controlling interest, is recognised in profit
or loss. The subsidiary company’s cumulative gain or loss which has been recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss or where
applicable, transferred directly to retained earnings. The fair value of any investment retained
in the former subsidiary company at the date control is lost is regarded as the cost on initial
recognition of the investment.
Business combinations

Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an
acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition
date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. The Group elects
on a transaction-by-transaction basis whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the
acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net
assets. Transaction costs incurred are expensed off and included in administrative expenses.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value
at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration
which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognised in accordance with MFRS 9 either
in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income.

If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it will not be remeasured. Subsequent
settlement is accounted for within equity. In instances where the contingent consideration
does not fall within the scope of MFRS 9, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate
MFRS.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic
circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation
of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date of the acquirer’s previously
held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through
profit or loss.
129
financial
statements

As at 31 March 2019



Business combinations (cont’d.)
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration
transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests over the net identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than fair value of the net
assets of the subsidiary company acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss. The
accounting policy for goodwill is set out in Note 2.3(e).
(b) Transaction with non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests at the reporting date, being the portion of the net assets of subsidiary
companies attributable to equity interests that are not owned by the Company, whether directly or
indirectly through subsidiary companies, are presented in the consolidated statement of financial
position and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to
the equity shareholders of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group are
presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or
loss and the comprehensive income for the year between the non-controlling interests and the equity
shareholders of the Company.
Losses applicable to the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary company are allocated to the
non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit
balance.
The Group treats all changes in its ownership interest in a subsidiary company that do not result in a
loss of control as equity transactions between the Group and its non-controlling interest holders. Any
difference between the Group’s share of net assets before and after the change, and any consideration
received or paid, is adjusted to or against Group reserves.
(c) Investment in associate companies

An associate is an entity, not being a subsidiary or a joint venture, in which the Group has significant
influence. An associate is equity accounted for from the date the Group obtains significant influence
until the date the Group ceases to have significant influence over the associate.
130

Annual Report 2019

As at 31 March 2019

(c) Investment in associate companies (cont’d.)
The Group’s investment in associate are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity
method, the investment in associate is measured in the statement of financial position at cost plus
post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to
associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the
net fair value of the associate’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost
of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included
as income in the determination of the Group’s share of the associate’s profit or loss for the period in
which the investment is acquired.
When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate,
including any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the
associates, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made
payments on behalf of the associate.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise
an additional impairment loss on the Group’s investment in its associates. The Group determines at
each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is
impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between
the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount in profit
or loss.

The financial statements of the associated company are prepared as of the same reporting date as
the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with
those of the Group.
In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in associate are stated at cost less
impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds
and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss.
The most recent available audited financial statements of the associates are used by the Group
in applying the equity method. Where the dates of the audited financial statements used are not
coterminous with those of the Group, the share of results is arrived at from the last audited financial
statements available and management financial statements to the end of the accounting period.
Uniform accounting policies are adopted for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
(d) Revenue recognition

The Group is in the business of production of security and confidential documents, oil palm production,
and processing, production and sale of bank notes, sale of food products and property management
services. The Group has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements
because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.

statements

As at 31 March 2019

(d) Revenue recognition (cont’d.)
(i) Sale of Goods

Revenue is recognised at point of time, net of sales taxes and upon transfer of control to the
buyer. Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding
recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods.
(ii) Rental income

Rental income from investment property is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease.
(iii) Property management services

Revenue from property management is recognised when services are rendered.
(iv) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
(v) Receipt in advance

Receipt in advance are deferred and classified under current liabilities in the statement of
financial position.
(vi) Interest income and profit income

Interest income and profit income are recognised using the effective interest method.
(vii) Management fees

Management fees are recognised when services are rendered.

(e) Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the
cost of business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost
less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but instead, it is reviewed for
impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may be impaired. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying
amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
132

Annual Report 2019

As at 31 March 2019

(f) Foreign currencies

(i) Functional and presentation currency

The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency
of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”).
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is also
the Company’s functional currency.
(ii) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (foreign
currencies) are recorded in the functional currencies at exchange rates approximating those
ruling at the transaction dates. At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the reporting date. Non-monetary items
carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates
prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are
measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of
monetary items, are included in the profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences
arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operation.
These are initially taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve within equity until the
disposal of the foreign operations, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss. Exchange
differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Company’s net investment in foreign
operation are recognised in profit or loss in the Company’s separate financial statements or the
individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate.
Exchange difference arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are
included in profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the retranslation
of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity.
Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in
equity.
(iii) Foreign operations

The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different
from the presentation currency, RM of the consolidated financial statements are translated into
RM as follows:
- Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at
the closing rate prevailing at the reporting date;
- Income and expenses for each profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates for
the year, which approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions; and

(iii) Foreign operations (cont’d.)

The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different
from the presentation currency, RM of the consolidated financial statements are translated into
RM as follows: (cont’d.)
- All resulting exchange differences are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve
within equity.
(g) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of
property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset, if and only if, it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the Company and the cost of
the item can be measured reliably.
Bearer plants are living plants used in the production or supply of agricultural produce; are expected
to bear produce for more than one period; and have a remote likelihood of being sold as agricultural
produce, except for incidental scrap sales.
Bearer plants mainly include mature and immature oil palm plantations. Immature plantations
includes costs incurred for field preparation, planting, fertilising and maintenance, capitalisation of
borrowing costs incurred on loans used to finance the developments of immature plantations and an
allocation of other indirect costs based on planted hectares.
Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant and
equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group and the Company recognises such parts
as individual assets with specific useful life and depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major
inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment
as a replacement if the recognition criteria is satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are
recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Land held on long lease is
held on a lease with an unexpired period of 50 years or more. Mature plantations are depreciated on
a straight line basis and over its estimated useful life of 25 years, upon commencement of commercial
production.
134

Annual Report 2019

As at 31 March 2019


(g) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation (cont’d.)

Other property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis to write-off the cost of
each asset to its residual value over the estimated useful life, at the following annual rates:
Buildings 2.0% - 10.0%

Leasehold land Over lease period
Plant and machinery 4.0% - 50.0%
Bearer plant and infrastructure 4.0%
Fish canning facilities 2.0%
Warehouses, storage tanks and pipelines 4.0%
Motor vehicles 10.0% - 33.33%
Office equipment, furniture and fittings 6.66% - 25.0%
Renovations 4.0% - 20.0%
Tools, accessories and computer equipment 20.0% - 33.33%

Assets under construction or capital work-in-progress included in property, plant and equipment are
not depreciated as these assets are not yet available for use. Immature plantations, which in general
are mature 36 months after field planting are not depreciated until maturity.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and
adjusted prospectively if appropriate.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is
included in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
(h) Biological assets

Biological assets comprise produce growing on bearer plants. Biological assets are classified as
current assets for bearer plants that are expected to be harvested and sold or used for production
on a date not more than 15 days after the reporting date.

Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell. Any gains or losses arising from changes
in the fair value less costs to sell are recognised in profit or loss. Fair value is determined based on
the present value of expected net cash flows from the biological assets. The expected net cash flows
are estimated using the expected output (FFB harvest) and market price at reporting date of crude
palm oil and palm kernel adjusted for extraction rates less processing, harvesting and transportation
costs.

As at 31 March 2019


(i) Investment properties

Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental income or for capital
appreciation or for both. Such properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction
costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and
therefore is not depreciated.
Depreciation of investment properties is provided for on a straight-line basis to write-off the cost of
the property to its residual value over its estimated useful life, at the following annual rates:
Freehold building 2%
Leasehold building 2% to 3%
Leasehold land Over lease period

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-
end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous
estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in
the investment property.
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed off or when the
investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected
from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are
recognised in the profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
(j) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost is determined on the First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) basis. Cost of finished goods and work-in-
progress includes direct materials, direct labour, other direct costs and appropriate production
overheads.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less all
estimated costs to completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(k) Income taxes

(i) Current tax

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from
or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
136

Annual Report 2019

As at 31 March 2019

(k) Income taxes (cont’d.)
(i) Current tax (cont’d.)
Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items
recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
(ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting
date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial
reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except:

- where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an
asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
- in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiary

companies, associated companies and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of
the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the
temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of
unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit
will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of
unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except:
- where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination
and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit
or loss; and
- in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiary

companies, associated companies and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are
recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse
in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary
differences can be utilised.
137
financial
statements

As at 31 March 2019

(k) Income taxes (cont’d.)
(ii) Deferred tax (cont’d.)
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to
the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all
or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed
at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future
taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to
the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that
have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit
or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity and deferred tax arising from a business
combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to
set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same
taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(l) Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result
of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligations and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it
is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation,
the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted
using a current pre tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a
finance cost.
138

Annual Report 2019

As at 31 March 2019

(m) Employee benefits

(i) Short term benefits

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense
in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group and of
the Company. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are
recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future
compensated absences, and short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick
leave are recognised when the absences occur.
(ii) Defined contribution plan

As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the national pension scheme,
the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”). Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the
profit or loss as incurred.
Foreign subsidiary in Indonesia

The foreign subsidiary in Indonesia, operates an unfunded, defined benefit Retirement Benefit
Scheme (“the Scheme”) for its eligible employees. The foreign subsidiary’s obligation under the
Scheme, calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method, is determined based on actuarial
assumptions by independent actuaries, through which the amount of benefit that employees
have earned in return for their services in the current and prior years is estimated. That benefit
is discounted in order to determine its present value. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised
immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension assets or liability
recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position to reflect the full value of the plan
deficit or surplus. Past service costs are recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits
are already vested, and otherwise are amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period
until the amended benefits become vested.
The amount recognised in the statement of financial position represents the present value of
the defined benefit obligations adjusted for unrecognised past service costs, and reduced by
the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the net total
of any past service costs, and the present value of any economic benefits in the form of refunds
or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
The latest actuarial valuation was carried out using the employee data as at 31 March 2019 by PT
Milliman Indonesia, an independent actuary report dated 15 April 2019.

(n) Leases

(i) As lessee

Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of
the leased asset or, if lower, at present value of the minimum lease payments. Any initial direct
costs are also added to the amount capitalised. Lease payments are apportioned between the
finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on
the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to profit or loss. Contingent
rents, if any, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Leased assets are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. However, if there is
no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the
asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life and the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term
of the lease term. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a
reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
(ii) As lessor

Leases where the Group and the Company retain substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating
an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over
the lease term on the same basis as rental income. The accounting policy for rental income is
set-out in Note 2.3(d)(ii).
(o) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be
impaired. If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is
required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in
use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there
are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units (“CGU”)).
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset
are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable
amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated first to
reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to those units or groups of units and then, to
reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis.
140

Annual Report 2019

As at 31 March 2019

(o) Impairment of non-financial assets (cont’d.)
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised
impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the
asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the
carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been
recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
(p) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, and demand deposits that are readily
convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in
value.
(q) Share capital

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and
of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments.
Ordinary shares are recorded at the proceeds received, net of directly attributable incremental
transaction costs. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised
in equity in the period in which they are declared.
(r) Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair
value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”).
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual
cash flow characteristics and the Group and the Company’s business model for managing them. With
the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which
the Group and the Company have applied the practical expedient, the Group and the Company
initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair
value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant
financing component or for which the Group and the Company applied the practical expedient are
measured at the transaction price determined under MFRS 15.
141
financial
statements

As at 31 March 2019

(r) Financial assets (cont’d.)

Initial recognition and measurement (cont’d.)
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost, it needs to give rise to cash
flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”) on the principal amount outstanding.
The assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.
The Group and the Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages
its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash
flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established
by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade
date, i.e., the date that the Group or the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets of the Group and of the Company are
classified as either:
- Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments) (“AC”);

- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”);
- Financial assets at FVTOCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments); or
- Financial assets designated at FVTOCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon
derecognition (equity instruments).

Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

This category is the most relevant to the Group and the Company. The Group and the Company
measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
- The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in
order to collect contractual cash flows; and

- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (“EIR”)
method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the
asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
The Group and the Company’s financial assets at amortised cost include trade and other receivables
and cash and bank balances.
142

Annual Report 2019

As at 31 March 2019

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial
assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets
mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading
if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including
separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated
as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of
principal and interest are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of
the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortised
cost or at fair value through OCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated at fair
value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an
accounting mismatch.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at
fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial
assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial
position) when:
- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
- The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under
a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Group and the Company have transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group and the Company have
neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has
transferred control of the asset.
When the Group and the Company have transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or
has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the
risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither nor retained substantially all of the risks and
rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group and the Company continues
to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case,
the Group and the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the
associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group
and the Company have retained.
143
financial
statements

As at 31 March 2019

Derecognition (cont’d.)
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured
at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration
that the Group and the Company could be required to repay.
(s) Impairment of financial assets

The Group and the Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all
debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on difference between
the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group
and the Company expect to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest
rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit
enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from
default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit
exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss
allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective
of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating
ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss
allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group and the Company has established
a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking
factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
The Group and the Company consider a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90
days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group and the Company may also consider a financial
asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group and the Company
are unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any
credit enhancements held by the Group and the Company. A financial asset is written off when there
is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
(t) Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit
or loss or other financial liabilities, as appropriate.
144

Annual Report 2019

As at 31 March 2019

(t) Financial liabilities (cont’d.)
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and
payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade payables, other payables and amount due to related
companies.
Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
(i) Other financial liabilities

This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial recognition, interest-bearing
loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as
through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition
and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance
costs in profit or loss.
Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. When an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms,
or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is
treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the
difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
(u) Provision for liabilities

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result
of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligations and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it
is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation,
the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted
using a current pre tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a
finance cost.

(v) Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is
based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place
either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or
liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic
best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to
generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group and the Company use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances
and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant
observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that
is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
- Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
- Level 3 — Valuation techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair
value that are not based on observable market data.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the
Group and the Company determine whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy
by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

2.4 Significant accounting judgements and estimates

Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial
statements. They affect application of the Group’s accounting policies, reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are
based on experience and other relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed
to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting
date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
(i) Impairment of goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and at other times when such indicators exist. This requires
an estimation of the value-in-use of the CGU to which goodwill is allocated. Estimating a value-in-use
requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the CGU and also
to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The
carrying amount of goodwill as at 31 March 2019 was RM12,710,000 (2018: RM12,710,000). Further
details are disclosed in Note 18.
(ii) Inventories

In determining the costing of inventories, management’s judgement is required in determining the
basis of finished goods and work-in-progress valuation which comprise costs of raw materials, direct
labour, other direct costs, and the appropriate allocation of overheads based on normal operating
capacity. Further details are disclosed in Note 19.
(iii) Classification between investment properties and property, plant and equipment
The Group developed certain criteria in making judgement whether a property qualifies as an
investment property. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation
or both.
Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another
portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative
purposes. If these portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease),
the Group would account for the portions separately. If the portions could not be sold separately, the
property is an investment property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production
or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Judgement is made on an individual
property basis to determine whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not
qualify as investment property.
The Group has sub-let portion of a building but has decided to classify the entire building as property,
plant and equipment as this portion cannot be sold separately and significant portion of the building
is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.
Further details are disclosed in Note 13 and Note 14.

Biological assets represents the fresh fruit bunches (“FFB”) of up to 15 days prior to harvest for use in the Group’s
palm product operations. During the financial year ended 31 March 2019, the Group harvested approximately
198,910 metric tonnes (“MT”) of FFB (2018: 198,644 MT). The quantity of unharvested FFB of the Group as at 31
March 2019 included in the fair valuation of FFB was 7,286 MT (2017: 7,316 MT).

In arriving at the fair value, the Group adopted the income approach which considers the net present value of
all directly attributable cash inflows, cash outflows and imputed contributory asset charges where no actual
cash flows associated with the use of assets essential to the agricultural activity. Changes to the assumed prices
of the FFB and tonnage included in the valuation will have a direct effect on the reported valuation.

The Groups biological assets computation is a Level 3 fair value estimation.

If the selling prices of FFB or tonnage changed by 10%, the Group’s fair value changes in FFB would have
increased or decreased by approximately RM275,000 (2018: RM436,000).

The following describes each key assumption on which management has based its cash flow projections
to undertake the impairment testing of goodwill:
2019 2018
% %
Average discount rate1 10.5 10.5

Terminal growth rate2 2 2

Assumptions:
1. Pre-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections.
2. Weighted average growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period.
(c) Sensitivity analysis
In assessing value-in-use and fair value, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any
of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the goodwill to materially exceed its
recoverable amount.

The foreign subsidiary in Indonesia operates an unfunded defined benefit plan for its eligible employees. The
obligations under the retirement benefit scheme are calculated using the projected unit credit method, is
determined by a qualified independent actuary, considering the estimated future cash outflows using market
yields at the reporting date of high quality corporate bonds. The latest actuarial valuation was carried out using
the employee data as at 31 March 2019.
(a) The amounts recognised in the statement of financial position are determined as follows:

(c) The principle assumptions used by the foreign subsidiary in Indonesia in determining employee benefits
liability as of 31 March 2019 and 2018 are as follows:
2019 2018
Discount rate 8.00% 7.25%

Retirement age 55 55
177
financial
statements

As at 31 March 2019
29. Retirement benefit obligations (cont’d.)
The discount rate is determined based on the values of AA rated corporate bond yields with 3 to 15 years of
maturity, converted to estimated spot rates.
Significant actuarial assumptions for determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate and
expected salary increase. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on changes to individual
assumptions, with all other assumptions held constant.
2019 2018
RM’000 RM’000
A 1 per cent decrease/increase in discount rate will increase/decrease the

defined benefit obligation by 146 131
A 1 per cent increase/decrease in expected salary growth will increase/

decrease the defined benefit obligation by 128 127
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in defined benefit
obligation as it is unlikely the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some assumptions
may be correlated.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to
the previous year.

The fair value measurement hierarchies used to measure assets would have the following levels are as
follows:

Level 1 - the fair value is measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - the fair value is measured using 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 - the fair value is measured using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable
market data (unobservable inputs).

39. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s financial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial resources are available
for the development of the Group’s businesses whilst managing its interest rate, foreign exchange, liquidity/
funding and credit risks. The Group operates within clearly defined guidelines that are approved by the Board
and the Group’s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions.
(a) Interest rate risk

The Group’s primary interest rate risk relates to interest-bearing debt as at year end. The investments in
financial assets are mainly short term in nature and they are not held for speculative purposes.
The Group manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining a prudent mix of fixed and floating rate
borrowings. The Group actively reviews its debt portfolio, taking into account the investment holding
period and nature of its assets. This strategy allows it to capitalise on cheaper funding in a low interest rate
environment and achieve a certain level of protection against rate hikes.
The information on maturity dates and effective interest rates of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed
in their respective notes.
The Group and the Company do not have significant interest rate exposures at the reporting date.
(b) Liquidity/funding risk

The Group defines liquidity/funding risk as the risk that funds will not be available to meet liabilities as
they fall due.

The Group actively manages its operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure that
all funding needs are met. As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the Group maintains
sufficient levels of cash or cash convertible instruments to meet its working capital requirements. To
ensure availability of funds, the Group closely monitors its cash flow position on a regular basis.

(c) Foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to transactional currency risk primarily through sales and purchases that are
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the operations to which they relate. The
currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily Indonesian Rupiah and Papua New Guinea Kina. The Group
does not practise any fund hedge for its purchases and sales transaction.

The net unhedged financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group that are not denominated in the
functional currency of the Company are as follows:

(d) Credit Risk

Credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, is controlled by the application of credit approvals,
limits and monitoring procedures. Credit risk is minimised and monitored via strictly limiting the Group’s
associations to business partners with high creditworthiness. Trade receivables are monitored on an
ongoing basis via Group management reporting procedures.
The Group does not have any significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty except with
the government agencies as disclosed in Note 20. The Group does not have any major concentration of
credit risk related to any financial instruments.

43. Material litigation

(i) Hak Guna Usaha No. 01/Nunukan Utara

On 23 August 2016, the Company’s subsidiary, PT Nunukan Jaya Lestari (“PTNJL”), received an order issued
by the Menteri Agraria dan Tata Ruang/Kepala Badan Pertanahan Nasional (“Ministerial Order”) dated
25 July 2016 to revoke PTNJL’s right for the cultivation of oil palm in Kalimantan Utara with immediate
effect.
The Ministerial Order was on the basis that the HGU was improperly issued due to administrative
irregularities performed by certain officers of the Badan Pertanahan Nasional Provinsi Kalimantan Timur
at the time of the issuance of the HGU in 2003, resulting in parts of the area within the HGU to overlap
with forestry areas.

On 21 October 2016, PTNJL filed an application in the Pengadilan Tata Usaha (“PTUN”) in Jakarta, Indonesia
seeking an order to annul the Ministerial Order. Simultaneously, in the said application, PTNJL has also
sought an order from PTUN to postpone the enforcement of the Ministerial Order pending full and final
determination of the matter by the Indonesian courts.
On 13 June 2017, the State Administrative Court delivered an oral judgment and dismissed the application
filed by PTNJL to annul the Ministerial Order. On 21 June 2017, PTNJL had filed an application to the Court
of Appeal to appeal against the decision of the State Administrative Court.

(i) Hak Guna Usaha No. 01/Nunukan Utara (cont’d.)
The Pengadilan Tinggi Tata Usaha Negara Jakarta vide its written decision dated 11 December 2017:
- has partly allowed PTNJL’s appeal against the State Administrative Court’s decision, with costs;
- has declared that the Ministerial Order revoking PTNJL’s HGU to be void, save for the areas overlapping
with forestry areas/third party interests measuring 5,138 hectares; and
- has ordered the Defendant to revoke the Ministerial Order save for the areas overlapping with forestry
areas/third party interests measuring 5,138 hectares.
Subsequently, PTNJL filed its statement of appeal on 10 January 2018 and appeal on 23 January 2018 to
the Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia (“Mahkamah Agung”) in respect of the aforesaid decision.
Mahkamah Agung, vide its written decision dated 21 August 2018, has allowed PTNJL’s appeal and ruled
that the Ministerial Order revoking PTNJL’s HGU be annulled. The Mahkamah Agung also ordered the
Defendant, to simultaneously:
(i) issue an order cancelling PTNJL’s HGU rights over the areas overlapping with third party interests
measuring 3,500 hectares; and
(ii) issue a new HGU certificate in favour of PTNJL for an area measuring 16,474.130 hectares, (which is
19,974.130 hectares less the 3,500 hectares referred to in paragraph (i) above).
PTNJL is currently taking the necessary legal steps to enforce the court’s decision.

The amount of write back relating to the impairment of property, plant and equipment previously affected
by the Ministerial Order was RM23,631,000 which has been reflected in the Note 9 and Note 13.

On 18 February 2019, PTNJL’s solicitors has received notice (which was subsequently forwarded to PTNJL
on 19 February 2019) that the Defendant has filed an application for judicial review together with its
judicial review memorandum at the Mahkamah Agung on 8 February 2019. The Defendant is seeking to set
aside the Mahkamah Agung’s written decision dated 21 August 2018 on grounds that the court had among
others misapplied the law to the relevant facts in arriving at the decision. PTNJL has on 18 March 2019
filed a counter memorandum at the Mahkamah Agung in response to the said application. The decision is
currently pending.
Under Indonesian laws and regulations, commencement of judicial review proceedings does not prevent
the implementation of the Mahkamah Agung’s written decision as aforesaid.

As at 31 March 2019
44. Explanation of transition of MFRSs (CONT’D.)
The significant accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial statements are consistent with those of
the audited financial statement for the year ended 31 March 2018, except as discussed below:
(a) Transition from FRSs to MFRSs Framework

(i) Property, plant and equipment

Under the FRS accounting framework, the Group and the Company elected to account for the
freehold land, leasehold land and buildings included within property, plant and equipment using
the revaluation model. The Group and the Company have elected to use the previous revaluation as
deemed cost under MFRS. Accordingly, the carrying amounts of these property, plant and equipment
have not been restated and the previous revaluation reserve of the Group and the Company were
reclassified to retained earnings.
(ii) Foreign currency translation difference

Under FRSs, the Group recognised foreign currency translation differences in other comprehensive
income and accumulated the amount in the foreign currency translation deficit in equity.
Upon transition to MFRSs, the Group has elected to deem all foreign currency translation differences
that arose prior to the date of transition in respect of all foreign operations to be nil at the date of
transition.

(b) Adoption of MFRS 9 Financial Instruments

MFRS 9 replaces MFRS 139 and amends the previous requirements in three main area (i) classification
and measurement of financial assets; (ii) impairment of financial assets, mainly by introducing a forward
looking expected loss impairment model and (iii) hedge accounting including removing some of the
restrictions on applying hedge accounting in MFRS 139. With the exeption of hedge accounting, the Group
has applied MFRS 9 retrospectively, with the initial application date of 1 April 2018 and adjusting the
comparative information for the period beginning 1 April 2017.

the audited financial statement for the year ended 31 March 2018, except as discussed below: (cont’d.)
(b) Adoption of MFRS 9 Financial Instruments (cont’d.)
The impact of MFRS 9 adoption is described below:

(i) Classification and measurement

MFRS 9 contains a new classification and measurement approach for the financial assets that reflects
the business model in which the assets are managed and their cash flows characteristics.
MFRS 9 contains three principal classification catergories for the financial assets as follows:
- Financial assets at amortised cost (“AC”)

- Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”)
- Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)

The standard also eliminates the previous FRS 139 categories of Held - to - Maturity, Loan and Receivables
(“L&R”) and Available-for-Sale (“AFS”). All the Group’s and the Company’s financial liabilities previously
categorised under L&R are now categorised as financial liabilities at amortised cost.

The following table shows the original measurement categories in accordance FRS 139 and the new
measurement categories under MFRS 9 for the Group’s and the Company’s financial assets as at
1 April 2018.

(b) Adoption of MFRS 9 Financial Instruments (cont’d.)
(ii) Impairment of financial assets

MFRS 9 also replaces the loss model in MFRS 139 with ECL model. Under MFRS 9, loss allowances will
be measured on either 12-months ECLs or lifetime ECLs.
(c) Adoption of MFRS 141 Agriculture

Under the MFRS framework, biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plants will be within the
scope of MFRS 116 Property, Plant and Equipment. After initial recognition, the bearer biological assets will
be measured at accumulated cost (before maturity) and using either the cost model or revaluation model
(after maturity). The Group currently measures the bearer biological assets at fair value less accumulated
impairment losses recognised after the date of valuation. Upon adoption of MFRS framework, the Group
decided to apply the cost model for accounting the bearer plants, the change in accounting framework will
result in the reclassification of the bearer assets from biological assets to property, plant and equipment,
and the revaluation amount on the transition date to be recorded as deemed costs of the bearer plants
which will subsequently be stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
The amendments also require produce that grows on bearer plants to be within the scope of MFRS 141
measured at fair value less cost to sell. Changes in fair value less cost to sell are recognised in profit or
loss.
