registered a revenue of approximately RM 12.9

million, a decreased of 21.8% compared to the

is mainly due to decrease in sales and expiry of

pioneer status. The Group continues maintain a

set of healthy and financially sound balance

sheet with cash and cash equivalents of

approximately RM 15.4 million. The lower

revenue achieved in the year is mainly due to

impact of the financial crisis in year 2009.

Nevertheless, the Group has taken steps to

mitigate the impact of these issues including

focusing on sale expansion of its existing

products and continue to invest in research and

development.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial

statements in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia.

This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the

due to fraud or error, selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies, and making accounting

estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We

conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards

require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in

the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of

risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those

risk assessments, we consider internal controls relevant to the Company‟s preparation and fair

presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company‟s

internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and

the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall

presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for

our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with Financial

Reporting Standards and the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of the

business are as follows:-

Registered office : 31-04, Level 31

Menara Landmark, Mail Box 172

No.12, Jalan Ngee Heng

80000 Johor Bahru, Johor

Principal place of business : 12A, Jalan 20

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a

resolution of the directors dated 27 August 2010.

2. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The Company is principally engaged in the business of investment holding whilst the principal

activities of its subsidiaries are set out in Note 6 to the financial statements. There have been no

significant changes in the nature of these activities during the financial year.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES

The Group‟s financial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial resources are

available for the development of the Group‟s business whilst managing its market, credit, liquidity

and cash flow risks. The policies in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are as follows:-

(a) Market Risk

(i) Foreign Currency Risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales and purchases that are

denominated in a currency other than Ringgit Malaysia.

Foreign currency risk is closely monitored and kept at an acceptable level.

(ii) Interest Rate Risk

The Group does not have any interest-bearing liabilities. It maintains interest yielding bank

balances and fixed deposits. Interest income arising from these assets is not considered to

be significant.

Surplus funds are placed with licensed financial institutions at the most favourable interest

rates.

(iii) Price Risk

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (Cont’d)

(b) Credit Risk

The Group's exposure to credit risks, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, arises mainly from

receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risks is represented by the carrying amounts of

these financial assets in the balance sheet reduced by the effects of any netting arrangements

with counterparties.

The Group does not have any major concentration of credit risk related to any individual

customer or counterparty.

(c) Liquidity and Cash Flow Risk

The Group manages its liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding

through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet estimated commitments

arising from operational expenditure and financial liabilities. The Group also has an effective

control of cash management to ensure that the Group can pay its operating expenses and

targeted dividends to shareholders at appropriate times.

4. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements of the Group are prepared under the historical cost convention and

modified to include other bases of valuation as disclosed in other sections under significant

accounting policies, and in compliance with Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”) and the

Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia.

The Group has not applied in advance the following accounting standards and interpretations

4. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Cont’d)

FRSs/IC Interpretations (including the Consequential Amendments (Cont’d) Effective date

Annual Improvements to FRSs (2009) 1 January 2010

The above accounting standards and interpretations (including the consequential amendments) are

not relevant to the Group‟s operations except as follows:

FRS 3 (Revised)

The FRS 3 (Revised) introduces significant changes to the accounting for business combinations,

both at the acquisition date and post acquisition, and requires greater use of fair values. In addition,

all transaction costs, other than share and debt issue costs, will be expensed as incurred. This

revised standard will be applied prospectively and therefore there will not have any financial impact

on the financial statements of the Group for the current financial year but may impact the accounting

for future transactions or arrangements.

FRS 7, FRS 139 and Subsequent Amendments

The possible impacts of FRS 7 (including the subsequent amendments) and FRS 139 on the

financial statements upon their initial applications are not disclosed by virtue of the exemptions given

in these standards.

FRS 8

FRS 8 replaces FRS 1142004 Segment Reporting and requires a “management approach”, under

which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting

purposes. The adoption of this standard only impacts the form and content of disclosures presented

in the financial statements of the Group. This FRS is expected to have no material impact on the

financial statements of the Group upon its initial application.

FRS 101 (Revised)

The FRS 101 (Revised) has introduced terminology changes (including revised titles for the financial

statements) and changes in the format and content of the financial statements. In addition, a

statement of financial position is required at the beginning of the earliest comparative period

following a change in accounting policy, the correction of an error or the reclassification of items in

the financial statements. The adoption of this revised standard will only impact the form and content

of the presentation of the Group‟s financial statements in the next financial year.

FRS 123 (Revised)

This change in accounting policy will not have any financial impact on the financial statements for

the current financial year but may impact the accounting for future transactions or arrangements.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 31 May 2010 cont‟d

4. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Cont’d)

FRS 127 (Revised)

The FRS 127 (Revised) requires accounting for changes in ownership interests by the group in a

subsidiary, while maintaining control, to be recognised as an equity transaction. When the group

loses control of a subsidiary, any interest retained in the former subsidiary will be measured at fair

value with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss. The revised standard also requires all losses

attributable to the minority interest to be absorbed by the minority interest instead of by the parent.

The Group will apply the major changes of FRS 127 (Revised) prospectively and therefore there will

not have any financial impact on the financial statements of the Group for the current financial year

but may impact the accounting for future transactions or arrangements.

Amendments to FRS 1 and FRS 127

Amendments to FRS 1 and FRS 127 remove the definition of “cost method” currently set out in FRS

127, and instead require an investor to recognise all dividend from subsidiaries, jointly controlled

entities or associates as income in its separate financial statements. In addition, FRS 127 has also

been amended to deal with situations where a parent reorganises its group by establishing a new

entity as its new parent. Under this circumstance, the new parent shall measure the cost of its

investment in the original parent at the carrying amount of its share of the equity items shown in the

separate financial statements of the original parent at the reorganisation date. The amendments will

be applied prospectively and therefore there will not have any financial impact on the financial

statements of the Company for the current financial year but may impact the accounting for future

transactions or arrangements.

Amendments to FRS 138

Amendments to FRS 138 clarify the requirements under FRS 3 (Revised) regarding accounting for

intangible assets acquired in a business combination. These amendments are expected to have no

material impact on the financial statements of the Group upon their initial application.

IC Interpretation 10

IC Interpretation 10 prohibits the impairment losses recognised in an interim period on goodwill,

investments in equity instruments and financial assets carried at cost to be reversed at a

subsequent balance sheet date. This interpretation is expected to have no material impact on the

financial statements of the Group upon its initial application.

Annual Improvements 2009

Annual Improvements to FRSs (2009) contain amendments to 21 accounting standards that result in

accounting changes for presentation, recognition or measurement purposes and terminology or

editorial amendments. These amendments are expected to have no material impact on the financial

statements of the Group upon their initial application.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the directors and management and are

based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that

are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and judgements that

affect the application of the Group‟s accounting policies and disclosures, and have a significant

risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, incomes and

expenses are discussed below:-

(i) Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment

The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the

property, plant and equipment are based on commercial and production factors which

could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors‟ actions in

response to the market conditions.

The Group anticipates that the residual values of its property, plant and equipment will be

insignificant. As a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration for the

computation of the depreciable amount.

Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the

economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future

depreciation charges could be revised.

(ii) Income Taxes

There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination

may be different from the initial estimate. The Group recognises tax liabilities based on its

understanding of the prevailing tax laws and estimates of whether such taxes will be due

in the ordinary course of business. Where the final outcome of these matters is different

from the amounts that were initially recognised, such difference will impact the income tax

and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

(iii) Impairment of Assets

When the recoverable amount of an asset is determined based on the estimate of the

value-in-use of the cash-generating unit to which the asset is allocated, the management

is required to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-

generating unit and also to apply a suitable discount rate in order to determine the present

value of those cash flows.

(iv) Amortisation of Development Costs

Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the

economic useful lives. Therefore, future amortisation charges could be revised.

(v) Allowance for Inventories

Reviews are made periodically by management on damaged, obsolete and slow-moving

inventories. These reviews require judgement and estimates. Possible changes in these

estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventories.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

(a) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Cont’d)

(vi) Allowance for Doubtful Debts of Receivables

The Group makes allowance for doubtful debts based on an assessment of the

recoverability of receivables. Allowances are applied to receivables where events or

changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Management specifically analyses historical bad debt, customer creditworthiness and

changes in customer payment terms when making a judgement to evaluate the adequacy

of the allowance for doubtful debts of receivables. Where the expectation is different from

the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of receivables.

(b) Functional and Foreign Currency

(i) Functional and Presentation Currency

The functional currency of each entity in the Group is the currency of the primary

economic environment in which the entity operates.

The Group financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) which is also the

Company‟s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and Balances

Transactions in foreign currency are measured in the respective functional currencies of

each entities in the Group and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional

currencies at exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates.

Monetary assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are translated at the rates ruling

as of that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates

that existed when the values were determined. All exchange differences are taken to the

income statement.

(iii) Foreign Operations

The results and financial position of all Group entities that have a functional currency

different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as

follows:-

(i) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing

rate at the date of the balance sheet;

(ii) income and expenses for the income statement are translated at average exchange

rates for the year; and

(iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of

equity, as a foreign currency translation reserve. On disposal, accumulated

translation differences are recognised in the consolidated income statements as part

of the gain or loss on sale.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

(c) Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has become a party

to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of

the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial

instrument classified as a liability are reported as an expense or income. Distributions to holders

of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity.

Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and

intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability

simultaneously.

Financial instruments recognised in the balance sheets are disclosed in the individual policy

statement associated with each item.

(d) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its

subsidiaries as at the balance sheet date. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are

prepared for the same reporting date as the Company.

All the subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting except for the

subsidiary, Hexa Analisa Sdn. Bhd., which are accounted for under the merger method.

Acquisition of subsidiaries that meets the conditions of a merger are accounted for using the

merger method. Under the merger method of accounting, the results of subsidiaries are

presented as if the merger had been effected throughout the current and previous years. In the

consolidated financial statements, the cost of the merger is cancelled with the nominal values of

the shares received. Any resulting debit difference is shown as merger deficit.

Subsidiaries accounted for using the purchase method are consolidated from the date of

acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated

until the date that such control ceases.

The purchase method of accounting involves allocating that cost of the acquisition to the fair

value of the assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of

acquisition. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values, at the

date of exchange, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments

issued, plus any costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group‟s interest in the net fair value of the

identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities represents goodwill. Any excess of the

Group‟s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities

over the cost of the acquisition is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

(d) Basis of Consolidation (Cont’d)

Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions are eliminated;

unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary,

adjustments are made to the financial statement of subsidiary to ensure consistency of

accounting policies with those of the Group.

(e) Investments in Subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are initially stated at cost in the balance sheet of the Company and

are reviewed for impairment at the end of the financial year if events or changes in

circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable.

On the disposal of the investments in subsidiaries, the difference between the net disposal

proceeds and the carrying amount of the investments is taken to the income statement.

(f) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment

losses, if any.

Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method to write off the depreciable amounts of

the assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation of an asset does not cease when the

asset become idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated. The

principal annual rates used for this purpose are:-

Plant and machinery 10%

Motor vehicles 10%

Office equipment, furniture and fittings 10%

The depreciation method, useful life and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if

appropriate, at each balance sheet date to ensure that the amount, method and period of

depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of

the future economic benefits embodied in the items of the property, plant and equipment.

Plant and machinery under construction represents assets which are not ready for commercial

use at the balance sheet date. Plant and machinery under construction are stated at cost, and

are depreciated accordingly when the assets are completed and ready for commercial use.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future

economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the

asset is included in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognised.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

(g) Impairment of Assets

The carrying values of assets, other than financial assets and inventories are reviewed at each

balance sheet date for impairment when there is an indication that the assets might be

impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their

recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the assets‟ net

selling price and its value-in-use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash

flow. An impairment loss is charged to the income statement immediately.

In respect of assets other than goodwill, and when there is a change in the estimates used to

determine the recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an

asset is treated as a reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of

the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and

depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the

income statement immediately.

(h) Intangible Assets

(i) Research and Development Expenditure

Research expenditure is recognised as an expense when it is incurred.

Development expenditure is recognised as an expense except that expenditure incurred on

development projects are capitalised as long-term assets to the extent that such

expenditure is expected to generate future economic benefits. Development expenditure is

capitalised if, and only if an entity can demonstrate all of the following:-

(i) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the asset under

development;

(ii) the product or process is technically and commercially feasible;

(iii) its future economic benefits are probable;

(iv) its ability to use or sell the developed asset;

(v) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the

asset under development; and

(vi) its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell.

Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation

and impairment losses, if any. Development expenditure initially recognised as an

expense is not recognised as assets in the subsequent period.

The development expenditure is amortised on a straight-line method over a period of not

exceeding 5 years when the products are ready for sale or use. In the event that the

expected future economic benefits are no longer probable of being recovered, the

development expenditure is written down to its recoverable amount.

(ii) Industrial Operating Right

Industrial operating right represent costs incurred by the Group to obtain Association of

Short Circuit Testing Authority (ASTA) certifications for capabilities to design, construct

and develop low-voltage switchboards to meet international standards. As the ASTA

certifications do not have any expiry date, the Group does not amortise these costs.

Instead, impairment is tested annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the industrial operating right might be impaired.

(i) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the

standard cost basis, which approximates the actual costs incurred in bringing the inventories to

their present location and condition. Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes the

cost of materials, labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of

completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Where necessary, due allowance is made for all damaged, obsolete and slow-moving items.

(j) Receivables

Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. Bad debts are written off in the period in

which they are identified. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all

outstanding amounts at the balance sheet date.

(k) Payables

Payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future

for goods and services rendered.

(l) Income Taxes

Income taxes for the year comprise current and deferred tax.

Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for

the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted

at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising

between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial

statements.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.

(l) Income Taxes (Cont’d)

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses

and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available

against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits

can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in

the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have

been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement. The carrying amounts of deferred tax

assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer

probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred

tax assets to be utilised.

(m) Equity Instruments

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of

new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax from proceeds.

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when approved for appropriation.

(n) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand deposits, and

short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and

which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(o) Employee Benefits

(i) Short-term Benefits

Wages, salaries, paid annual leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the

period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group.

(ii) Defined Contribution Plans

The Group's contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the income

statement in the period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the

Group has no further liability in respect of the defined contribution plans.

(p) Related Parties

For the purposes of these financial statements, a party is considered to be related if:-

(i) directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, the party:-

controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the entity (this includes parents, subsidiaries and fellow subsidiaries);

has an interest in the entity that gives it significant influence over the entity; or

has joint control over the entity;

(ii) the party is an associate of the entity;

(iii) the party is a joint venture in which the entity is a venturer;

(iv) the party is a member of the key management personnel of the entity or its parent;

(v) the party is a close member of the family of any individual referred to in (i) or (iv);

(vi) the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by, or for

which significant voting power in such entity resides with, directly or indirectly, any

individual referred to in (iv) or (v); or

(vii) the party is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of the entity, or of

any entity that is a related party of the entity.

Close members of the family of an individual are those family members who may be expected

to influence, or be influenced by, that individual in their dealings with the entity.

(q) Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence

will only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly

arising from monetary items which form part of the Group‟s net investment in foreign operations,

the foreign operation.

Merger Deficit

The merger deficit in the financial year was related to the subsidiary which was consolidated under

nominal value of the shares of the subsidiaries upon consolidation using merger accounting

principles.

The carrying amounts approximated the fair values because of the short period to maturity of

these instruments.

The carrying amounts approximated the fair values at the balance sheet date.

i) Ordinary Resolution: The Company wishes to renew the mandate on the authority to issue shares pursuant to Section 132D of the Companies Act, 1965 at the Third Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) of the Company (hereinafter referred to as the “General Mandate”). The Company has been granted a general mandate by its shareholders at the Second AGM of the Company held on 24 July 2009 (hereinafter referred to as the “Previous Mandate”). The Previous Mandate granted by the shareholders had not been utilised and hence no proceeds were raised therefrom.

This authority unless revoked or varied by the Company in the general meeting, will expire at the next Annual General Meeting. The proceeds raised from the General Mandate will provide flexibility to the Company for any possible fund raising activities, including but not limited to further placing of shares, for purpose of funding future investment project(s), working capital and/or acquisitions. All other information remains unchanged.

ii) Special Resolution: Proposed Amendment to the Articles of Association of the Company The proposed Special Resolution is to amend the Company‟s Articles of Association in line with the amendments to the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad in relation to e-Dividend.
