18 Management Discussion & Analysis

A. Overview of Group’s Business and Operation

Nextgreen Global Berhad (“NGGB”) (formerly known as BHS Industries Bhd) through its subsidiary companies have been involved in the printing and publishing business since it was listed in Bursa Malaysia in 2007. However,

in 2014 there was a change of major shareholder who brought the green technology into the Group. This technology is a breakthrough and it is able to convert the empty fruit bunches (“EFB”) of palm oil tree into pulp and paper.

In 2015, the Group obtained the approval of the shareholders to diversify its business activities to include the manufacturing of renewable pulp and paper products. Initially, the Company intended to build a plant with a production capacity of 10,000 metric ton. This fits well with the existing business of the Group as the imported paper which would otherwise be used by the printing business would be replaced with the paper produced by its mill. Any excess can be sold in the market.

In 2016, the Pahang State Government approved and granted Ultimate Ivory Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of NGGB, 410 acres of land in Kg. Paloh Hinai, Mukim Lepar, Daerah Pekan, Pahang for development into Green Technology

Park, Pekan (“GTP”). In the same year, the shareholders of NGGB approved the diversification of NGGB’s core business to include the construction, development

and management of Green Technology Park and other construction and property development activities.

Principal activities of our Group

The Group has three core business activities. First the printing business. Second,

the developer for industrial park and third, the

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8

manufacturer of renewable pulp and paper products. During 2018, only first and second businesses are operational and the third business’s factory is at an advanced stage of construction. Part of the pulp making machinery has been delivered to the factory site and it is expected that the factory and the plant will be ready for production in April 2019.

Printing business

The printing factory is located at Lot 4, Lorong CJ 1/1B, Kawasan Perindustrian Cheras Jaya, 43200 Cheras, Selangor. The factory was bought in Dec 2014 and it was extensively renovated to house the printing business. Sales amounted to RM26.81 mi l l ion made-up of RM16.81 million (62.7%) local and RM10 million (37.3%) overseas were generated in the financial year ended (“FYE”) 30 June 2018.

Local sales comprised mainly magazines, leaflets and educational books whereas overseas sales were primarily educational books. In 2018, the print

orders from the overseas’ Government started to resume and the local sales also picked up mainly for the educational books printing. These help increased the sales revenue to RM26.8 million from RM19.7 million.

Industrial Park Developer and Manager

In 2016, the Pahang State Government approved and granted 410 acres of land in Pekan to Ultimate Ivory Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of NGGB. The entire areas have been earmarked as GTP. The Company planned to develop the industrial park in five phases over a period of 5 years. First phase is for the construction and development of two plants and these are being constructed. Initially, under a Memorandum of Agreement dated 1 November 2016 entered into between China Nuclear Industry Huaxing Construction Co Ltd (“CNIHCC”) and the

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8

20 Management Discussion & Analysis

(continued)

Company, Second and Third phases were planned for cooperation and development with CNIHCC. However, on 24 July 2018, the Company announced the termination of the Memorandum of Agreement with CNIHCC. On 16 October 2018, the Company secured a new investor, Asia Capital Investment Fund (“ACIF”) who had agreed to invest RM400 million into several special purpose vehicle companies wholly owned by NGGB ultimately. The invested funds are for projects based in Green Technology Park (“GTP”) in Pekan as well as in GTP Johor and GTP Sarawak. These funds will provide working capital for the projects and also cover other operational costs for the projects.

During the year, the Company had developed a piece of land measuring 6.88 acres for disposal to Dawei Fertilizer Sdn Bhd for a sale value of RM3 million for the construction and building of a fertilizer plant.

B. Review of Financial Results and Financial Condition

Printing Activity

For FYE 30 June 2018 the printing activity generated sales of RM 26.81 million compared with the preceding year of RM19.84 million. It had increased its revenue on both local and overseas sales from RM13.1 million to RM16.7 and from RM6.75 million to RM10.12 million respectively. Although the increase of RM6.97 million representing 35% increase over last year, it still incurred a loss after tax of RM0.5 million compared with a loss of RM8.7 million in FYE2017.

The Group incurred Loss After Tax of RM1.77 million compared with the preceding year loss of RM10.1 million. A higher revenue from printing activity, the recovery of debts of RM3.1 million and the profits arising from the disposal of a subsidiary of RM0.77 million have contributed to a lower loss in the year. The other businesses’ pre-operating expenses of RM1.2 million were incurred.

The finance costs incurred for the current year were RM0.34 million compared with the preceding year of RM0.41 million. The improvement was due to a lower term loan interest.

Park Development and Management Activities

For the FYE 30 June 2018, the Group was able to dispose of a piece of developed land measuring 6.876 acres to Dawei Fertilizer Sdn Bhd for a revenue of RM3 million. This contributed a profit of RM0.87 million to the Group. In addition, Ultimate Ivory Sdn Bhd enjoys a 10 year 100% tax exemption on the profits arising from the sales of the developed land subject to certain conditions.

Land Held for Property Development

For the FYE 30 June 2018, the accounts show that the Group has a piece of 99 year leasehold land measuring 16.225 square metres at a cost of RM6.78 million in the Republic of Palau. This land is earmarked for development in the near future.

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8

Property Development Costs

During the year a long term leasehold land of RM1.23 million and development costs of RM10.29 million were reclassified to Property Development Costs from Land Held for Property Development. The development cost incurred in the year was RM11.39 million and the cost of land and development expenses related to the property disposed of were RM0.99 million leaving the carrying amount of property development costs of RM21.92 million. At the year end, the construction was at an advanced stage of construction and it is expected that the pulp and paper factory will be ready for production in April 2019.

Inventories

The inventories comprised mainly of paper of RM5.8 million, printed books of RM1.4 million and partly printed books of RM1.5 million. Compared the inventories with FYE 30.6.2017, it had remained stable at RM8.7 million despite 35% higher sales in the year.

Trade receivable

The trade receivable for FYE 30.6.2018 was RM15.3 million compared with FYE 2017 of RM18.3 million, a reduction of RM3 million despite increased revenue of RM6.98 million. This would mean that the Group was able to improve on the collectability of the debts and also to recover the RM3.1 million debts which were provided in the previous year.

During the year, our main export market remained a tough market for collection. However, the Group only dealt with established publishers which have a long relationship with the Group with proven reliability for payments. Other receivables, deposits and prepayments

There was a decrease of RM1.85 million other receivables, deposits and prepayment in the FYE 30.6.2018 over that of FYE 30.6.2017. The deposit of RM4.1 million paid for the construction and development cost had been expended and included on the property development costs. In addition, a deposit of RM2.1 million for the acquisition of land together with the disposal proceeds of an associate of RM1 million were included under this heading. There was no movement in the year on the deposit paid for the purchase of plant and equipment of RM28.4 million.

Cash and Bank Balances

Cash and bank balances have further been reduced from RM1.49 million in 2017 to RM0.6 million in 2018. Part of the cash was spent on development of land and deposits for the plant and machinery. There is a risk that the Group may encounter cash flow difficulty if the situation persists.

To improve the cash flow, the Group continues to lure potential buyers and sell developed land at GTP, monitor the collection of old and new debts from overseas and local customers to ensure that the credit periods allowed have been adhered to, manage and reduce the stock holding to a level to ensure production is smooth and make full use of the credit period extended by trade creditors. As the Group had a low gearing of 0.045 times in 2018 compared with 0.052 times in 2017, it is acceptable for the Group to increase bank borrowings without any undue risk.

During the year the Group had realised proceeds of RM3.9 million from the resale of treasury shares in the open market. It may also consider releasing the balance of the treasury shares to the market as and when it deems appropriate.

22 Management Discussion & Analysis

(continued)

C. Review of Operating Activities

Printing Business

As noted above, the sales of printing business had increased from RM19.84 million in FYE 2017 to RM26.81 in FYE 2018. The increased sales of RM6.97 million were insufficient to bring about an economy of scale in production and the printing activity made a loss of RM0.5 million.

For the first time in 3 years, the print orders resumed by the overseas’ government in 2018 were not substantial as expected, nevertheless it had contributed to an increased revenue of RM3.37 million together with increased local sales of RM3.6 million giving a total increase of RM6.97 million.

It is expected that the orders from overseas will improve further in FYE 2019 because of higher government orders and also the positive enquiries arising from the other overseas markets’ orders. In addition, the Group has also aimed to improving its presence at local market to boost sales.

Industrial Park Developer and Manager

The Pahang State Government approved and granted 410 acres of land in Pekan to NGGB Group. The land is designated as Green Technology Park Pekan. During the year, the Group developed a piece of land measuring 6.876 acres and sold it to Dawei Fertilizer Sdn Bhd for a profit of RM0.87 million. The Group is also developing a piece of land measuring about 14 acres for use by its Paper and Pulp factory.

Following the termination of the Memorandum of Agreement with CNIHCC, the Company had on 16 October 2018 entered into an Investment Agreement with ACIF to develop Phase 2 development in GTP Pekan which entailed the construction and development of pulp and paper mill with production capacity of 100,000 metric tons of box liner paper and pulp and paper mill with production capacity of 120,000 metric tons of corrugated paper using our licensed green technology. The investments by ACIF will also cover GTP Johor project and GTP Sarawak project which are currently in negotiation stage.

D. Anticipated or Known Risks

The Group like any other businesses is subject to prevailing economic conditions and uncertain market forces. A number of these potential risks and uncertainties that could materially and adversely impact on the Group’s performance and financial results are as follows:

Foreign exchange risk

As the Group operates internationally and is exposed to the risks of fluctuations of the foreign currency. The foreign denominated assets and liabilities together with the expected cash flow from purchases and sales, give rise to foreign exchange exposures. Any significant fluctuations in the exchange rate may have a material impact on the Group’s performance.

However, the risk of exchange fluctuation has to a certain extent been mitigated by the natural hedge where import of purchases using foreign currency trade loans are settled in foreign currency derived from export proceeds. In addition, our management is constantly monitoring our Group’s foreign exchange exposure and will take the necessary measures to minimise the exposure.

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8

Single country risk

The Group’s exports are mainly to a single country. As we had experienced, when a country‘s economy was affected, the sales revenue dropped substantially and it was not possible to immediately replace the lost sales with sales from other sources. This gave rise to a material adverse impact on the Group’s results.

The Group is taking the following steps to overcome the risks of reliance on a single country’s sales:

- diversifying sales to other countries and continue to explore new markets;- strategize to increase local sales;- increase the Group’s revenue base by increasing other sales products.

Retention of Key Personnel and Experienced Workforce

Any successful company would rely on its key personnel and experienced workforce to attain its goal. Without an exception, our Group also rely on key personnel and experienced staff to drive its operations into profitability and also to drive its newly diversified businesses to succeed. A loss of certain key personnel may have an adverse impact on the performance of the Group.

The Group has in place competitive remuneration packages, training, conducive working environment, ESOS for its employees and also has available career advancements within the Group.

E. Forward-Looking Statement

Possible Trend and Outlook

Printing business has always been very competitive and the Group relied on export sales to boost its revenue. The overseas’ Government’s orders resumed in 2018 after an absence of 3 years were not substantial as expected.

The Group had taken steps to improve its sales locally and also to explore other overseas markets to reduce over reliance on a single country for orders. For these, it has achieved some measure of success. It will continue its effort to further diversify its customer base.

For FYE 2018 the Group made a profit of RM0.87 million on the disposal of a piece of developed land to Dawei Fertilizer Sdn Bhd. The Group will continue to seek investors who are interested to pursue green projects to be located in GTP Pekan.

The third business activity of the Group, pulp and paper manufacturing is expected to come into production in April 2019. The pulp and paper supply chain in Malaysia comprised both domestic and international elements. However, despite a large forest resource, the majority of virgin fibre inputs in the form of pulp are imported (BAC Report 2017). The consumption of paper in Malaysia remained higher than the production, therefore, the Group’s product will first start with the local market.

The Phase 2 projects for the production of 100,000 metric tons of box liner paper and 120,000 metric tons of corrugated paper have attracted overseas potential customers to visit our factory site to learn more of our products. The Group had rounds of discussion recently with potential customers from Japan and China. It is the first pulp and paper plant the Group will install and commission in April 2019. It is possible that the Group will take longer than expected to undertake the testing to achieve a prescribed standard and quality as required by its potential customers. Moreover, the potential customers may not result in eventual sales.

Dividend Policy

As the Group is at the stage of developing new business sources and the cash generated from the existing business is ploughed back into the business. Therefore, for FYE 2018 the Group will unlikely be able to declare and pay any dividend. However, the Group will review its dividend policy as and when the circumstances permit.

These reviews were done quarterly where the Internal Auditors will present their internal audit report to the AC and audit issues and action taken by management to address control deficiencies will be deliberated.

Management also supplements the Audit Committee review on control and risk assessment when presenting their quarterly financial performance and results to the

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8

Audit Committee. In this process, the Audit Committee will review and analyse the interim financial results in corroboration with management representations on operations, the performance of its subsidiaries vis-à-vis the risks and challenges in the business. As part of this process, AC also deliberates the integrity of the financial results, annual report and audited financial statements before recommending to the Board to be presented to the shareholders and public investors.

Annually, upon completion of audit, the External Auditors will report to the AC on their audit findings. As part of this review, AC will obtain feedback from the External Auditors on control deficiencies noted by them in the course of their statutory audit.

MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES AND ASSURANCE

In accordance to the Bursa’s Guidelines, management is responsible to the Board for identifying risks; implementing and maintaining sound systems of risk management and internal control and monitoring and reporting to the Board of significant control deficiencies and changes in risks that could significantly affect the Group achievement of its objective and performance.

Before producing this Statement, the Board has received assurance from Managing Director that, to the best of his knowledge that the Group’s risk management and internal control systems are operating adequately and effectively, in all material aspects.

BOARD ASSURANCE AND LIMITATION

The Board derives its comfort of the state of internal control and risk management of the Group from the following processes and information:

• Periodic review of financial information covering financial performance, quarterly financial results and key business indicators;

• Audit Committee’s review and consultation with the management on the integrity of the financial results, annual report and audited financial statements;

• Audit findings and reports on the review of the systems of internal control from the Internal Auditors; and

• Management assurance that the Group’s risk management and internal control systems have been operating adequately and effectively, in all material respects.

For the financial year under review, the Board is satisfied that the existing level of systems of risk management and internal control are effective to enable the Group to achieve its business objectives and there were no material losses resulted from significant control weaknesses.

The Board wishes to reiterate that risk management and internal control would be continuously improved in line with the evolving business development. However, it should also be noted that systems of risk management and internal control are only designed to manage rather than eliminate risks of failure to achieve business objectives. Therefore, these systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatements, frauds and losses.

R E V I E W O F S TA T E M E N T O N R I S K M A N A G E M E N T A N D I N T E R N A L CONTROL BY EXTERNAL AUDITORS

As required by Paragraph 15.23 of the MMLR, the External Auditors have reviewed this Statement. As set out in their terms of engagement, the procedures were performed in accordance with the Audit and Assurance Practice Guide 3 (“AAPG3”) [Previously known as “RPG5 (Revised) 2015”] issued by Malaysian Institute of Accountants. The External Auditors’ procedures have been conducted to assess whether the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control is both supported by the documentation prepared by or for the Directors and appropriately reflects the process the Directors have adopted in reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the system of internal control for the Group. However, AAPG3 does not require the External Auditors to consider whether this Statement covers all risks and controls, or to form an opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s risk and control procedures.

Based on their procedures performed, the External Auditors have reported to the Board that nothing has come to their attention which causes them to believe that this Statement is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the disclosures required by paragraphs 41 and 42 of the Guidelines, nor is it factually inaccurate.

The Terms of Reference of the Nominating Committee are available at the Company’s website at www.nextgreenglobal.com

The Nominating Committee assists the Board in reviewing the new candidate in terms of the candidates’ skill, knowledge, expertise and experience before recommending to the Board for decision. For assessment and selection of director candidate, consideration would be taken on the need to meet the regulatory requirements such as Companies Act 2016, the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Main Market Listing Requirements (“Listing Requirements”) and other criteria such as:

• Age • Industrial experience, skillsets and knowledge • Academic qualification • Expected contributions to the existing and new

businesses • Expected enhancement to the board’s strength and

network

For appointment of Independent Directors, the Nominating Committee would also assess whether the candidate meets the requirements for independence based on criteria prescribed in the Listing Requirements.

The Nominating Committee is empowered to identify and recommend new appointments to the Board. The potential candidates may be proposed by existing directors, senior management staff, shareholders or third-party referral. Under normal circumstances, the Nominating Committee would review new board candidates proposed by the Executive Directors to fill vacancy arises from

resignation, retirement or any other reasons and make the recommendation to the Board thereon for decision. Based on the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, the Board would evaluate and decide on the appointment of the proposed candidate.

The Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance (“MCCG”) emphasises the importance of right board composition in bringing value to the Board deliberation and transparency of policies and procedures in selection and evaluation of board members. Upon receipt of the proposal, the Nominating Committee is responsible to conduct as assessment and evaluation on the proposed candidate. The assessment/evaluation process may include, at the Nominating Committee’s discretion, reviewing the candidate’s resume, biographical information, candidate’s qualifications and conducting background searches, etc.

The Board is supportive of gender diversity and encourages female participation in the board. Presently, out of the ten (10) board members, three (3) of the board members are female (i.e. 30% women directors).

In accordance with the constitution of the Company, all newly appointed Directors are subject to retirement by rotation and are entitled for re-election at the first annual general meeting after their appointment. Pursuant to Article 84 of the Company’s Constitution, at each annual general meeting one-third (1/3) of the Directors for the time being or if their number is not three (3) or a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to one-third (1/3) shall retire from office at least once in every (3) years but shall be eligible for re-election.

In recommending the Directors for re-election to the Board, the Nominating Committee would also refer to the individual Directors’ annual assessment result to ensure that feedback given and scoring achieved by the relevant directors who are retiring by rotation are satisfactory.

The Nominating Committee undertakes annual assessment to evaluate the performance of each individual Directors, the effectiveness of the Board and the Board Committees.

The effectiveness of the Board and Board Committees are assessed in the areas of board structure/mix, decision making and boardroom participation and activities, meeting

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8

administration and conducts, skill and competencies and role and responsibilities whilst the performance of the individual Directors is assessed in the areas of contribution and interaction with peer, quality of the input of the Director, understanding of role, etc.

Directors are given a performance assessment sheets (“PA Sheet”) for self and peer evaluation on Individual Director, Board, Audit Committee, Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee to complete. Respective Directors will abstain from deliberation of his/her own appraisal.

Directors who are members of the Board Committees are given additional performance evaluation sheets for the respective Board Committees to complete. Sufficient time is given to the Directors to complete the forms and upon completion, the forms are submitted to the Chairperson for tabling to the Nominating Committee for review in due course.

An annual assessment exercised had also been carried out on the members of Nominating Committee. For good corporate governance, the Nominating Committee did not review its own effectiveness and the performances of the Nominating Committee members. Instead, such review was carried out by the Board as a whole with the members of the Nominating Committee abstained from deliberation. In view that the Nominating Committee members are also members of the Remuneration Committee and the Audit Committee, the assessment of the effectiveness and performances of the Remuneration Committee and the Audit Committee were also carried out by the Board.

The Director who is subject to re-election and/or reappointment at next Annual General Meeting are assessed by the Nominating Committee (with the relevant Nominating Committee member abstaining on his/her own re-election) before recommendation is made to the Board and shareholders for the re-election and/ or re-appointment. Outcome of the assessment and recommendation would be reported to the Board for information and decision on areas for improvement.

During the financial year, the Nominating Committee conducted one (1) meeting to review the:-

(a) performance assessment sheets received in relation to the annual assessment on the performance and effectiveness of the Board of Directors and Board Committees, the performance of each Director and the terms of office and performance of the Audit Committee and each of its member (“Board Annual Evaluation on Effectiveness”) for the financial year ended 30 June 2017;

(b) annual assessment on the board independence under the MCCG (“Annual Assessment on Board Independence” for year 2017); and

(c) list of Directors standing for re-election at the 12th Annual General Meeting and proposed to the Board the name of retiring Directors for re-election.

Based on these assessments, it was noted that:

(a) The performance of all Directors was good and above average and therefore all retiring directors be recommended to shareholders for re-election;

(b) The Company has an effective board and its composition was well balanced after taking into account the Board members’ wide experience and exposure in various areas as well as their diverse skills and qualities;

(c) The performance of the Board Committees is satisfactory;

(d) Independent Directors were free from influence which could interfere with their ability to exercise impartial judgment on key deliberations and decisions;

(e) The current composition of the Board their and experience are effective for Board’s functions; and

(f) Ms. Chew Yuit Yoo who has served more than nine (9) years as Independent Director in the Board had:

- Fulfilled the definition of independent director in Listing Requirements;

38 Nominating Committee’s Statement

(continued)

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8

- Continuer to exercise independent judgment and act in the best interest of the Company and shareholders during her tenure of service; and

- Shown great integrity and independence and had no transactions with the Group.

The Board also concluded that the Group has benefited from her long serving experience and commitment and therefore agreed to put forth a resolution to retain Ms Chew Yuit Yoo as Senior Independent Non-Executive Director to the shareholders for approval in the forthcoming meeting.

Subsequent to the financial year, the Nominating Committee met two (2) times to:

(a) review the Board Annual Evaluation on Effectiveness for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 and Annual Assessment on Board Independence for year 2018 in respect of Ms. Chew Yuit Yoo and Ms. Thiang Chew Lan (who have served more than nine (9) years as Independent Director in the Board), where the outcome of the assessment were similar to those reported in 2017; and the list of Directors standing for re-election at the 13th Annual General Meeting and

proposed to the Board the name of retiring Directors for re-election; and

(b) consider the appointment of two (2) new directors, namely, En. Nor’Azamin Bin Salleh and Dr. Hidayah Binti Ariffin, which appointment were approved by the Board and announced on 19 July 2018 and 6 September 2018, respectively.

The Board does not have term limit for its Independent Directors and is of the view that the independence of the Independent Directors should not be determined solely or arbitrary by their tenure of service. However, the Board embraces the MCCG practice for retaining an independent director beyond nine (9) years and shall provide justification for doing so and seek shareholders’ approval annually in that respect. If the Board continues to retain the Independent Directors after year 12th, in addition to providing justification as explained above, the Board will seek shareholders’ approval through a two tier voting process, unless the said Independent Director wishes to be re-designated as non-independent non-executive Director which shall be decided by the Board.

Other statutory information

Before the financial statements of the Group and the Company were prepared, the directors took reasonable steps:

(a) to ascertain that action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of provision

42 Directors’ Report

(continued)

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8

for doubtful debts and had satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate provision had been made for doubtful debts; and

(b) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their book values in the ordinary course of business had been written down to their expected realisable values.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances:

(a) which would render the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the Group and the Company inadequate to any substantial extent;

(b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and the Company misleading; and

(c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and the Company misleading or inappropriate.

In the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report:

(a) no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen which, in the opinion of the directors, would substantially affect the results of the operations of the Group and the Company for the financial year in which this report is made; and

(b) no charge has arisen on the assets of the Group and the Company which secures the liability of any other person nor have any contingent liabilities arisen in the Group and the Company.

No contingent or other liability of the Group and the Company has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the directors, will or may affect the ability of the Group and the Company to meet their obligations as and when they fall due.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements, which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.

Auditors’ remuneration

The total remuneration paid to or receivable by the statutory auditors for the financial year were RM155,409 for the Group and RM40,000 for the Company.

45 Independent Auditors’ Report to the members of Nextgreen

Global Berhad (Formerly known asBHS Industries Berhad)

1. Report on the audit of the financial statements

1.1 Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements which comprise the statements of financial position of the Group and the Company as at 30 June 2018, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and the Company as at 30 June 2018, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Companies Act 2016 (“Act”) and the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards.

1.2 Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Approved Standards on Auditing in Malaysia and the International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in paragraph 1.6.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the By-Laws (On Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“MIA 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 MIA By-Laws and the IESBA Code.

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

1.3 Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to report with respect to our audit of the financial statements of the Company.

1.3.1 Recoverability of trade receivables

The recoverability of trade receivables is a key audit matter in our audit as this involves management’s estimates in relation to credit risk exposure. The Group also has a significant number of receivable balances that are overdue, leading to the risk that the Group’s impairment for trade receivables is insufficient if the amounts are not recoverable.

How the matter was addressed in the audit

• We reviewed and verified the collections received during the reporting period and collections subsequent to the reporting period to bank records;

• On overdue balances where no allowance for impairment was made, we obtained evidence in the form of subsequent receipts, historical payment trend and customer’s correspondence to support the recoverability of the balances; and

• We tested the adequacy of the amount of impairment made by management by challenging the relevant assumptions and also taking into account historical data from the Group’s previous collections experience. We also considered the adequacy of the amount

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8

(continued)

of impairment in the light of available evidence including the aging profile of receivables at year end and at the time of audit, the history of bad debt exposure and recent changes in payment profile.

Based on the procedures performed, we did not note any significant exceptions.

1.3.2 Risk of impairment of plant and equipment

A subsidiary of the Comapny, BHS Book Printing Sdn Bhd (“BPP”) has incurred a gross loss during the year. This is an indication that an impairment might have occurred on the carrying amount of the plant and equipment of RM17,092,236 as at 30 June 2018. Management has performed an impairment review and concluded that there is no impairment in respect of the plant and equipment as the recoverable amount was higher than the carrying amount.

The assessment of recoverable amount requires significant judgement and assumptions used in the calculation, in particular relating to estimation of future sales volume, cash flow projections and discount rates.

We focused on this area due to the significance of the value involved and the nature of judgements and assumptions made by management in determining whether there is any impairment that has occurred.

How the matter was addressed in the audit

We tested management’s impairment review by performing the following work:

• comparing the assumptions used within the impairment review model to approved budgets and business plans and other evidence of future intentions;

• benchmarking of key assumptions including prices of papers, exchange rates, discount rates and inflation against our own internal research data;

• reviewed available qualitative information, supporting the projection of printing orders; and

• performed sensitivity analysis and stress-test over key assumptions in the model in order to assess the potential impact of a range of possible outcomes.

We found the assumptions to be materially consistent with the comparison and benchmarking procedures that we have carried out.

1.3.3 Non refundable deposits for purchase of plant and equipment

We focused on the non refundable deposits paid since the financial year 2016 of RM27,404,406 for purchase of plant and equipment for manufacturing of pulps and papers during the business diversification exercise. As at the date of our report, the construction of the pulps and papers factory is in progress and the delivery of the plant and equipment is ongoing. Due to the delayed in the construction of the factory, management has revised its business plan and cash flows projections and also performed impairment assessment on the plant and equipment concerned.

How the matter was addressed in the audit

We performed the following audit procedures:

• obtained suppliers’ confirmation on the total deposits paid as at the reporting date;

• performed site visit in Pekan, Pahang and discussed on the status of the progress of the construction of factory and plant and equipment with contractor and project managers;

• performed site visit and physical sighting of plant and equipment in China and discussed the delivery schedule with the suppliers;

• reviewed approved business plan and cash flows projections with committed timeline by board of directors;

46 Independent Auditors’ Report

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8

• checked reasonableness of key assumptions of the cash flows projections used to determine the recoverable amount by benchmarking the discount rates, papers prices and inflation to externally available data and checked future development plans including capital expenditure plans and funding requirement as appropriate; and

• Performed sensitivity analysis and stress-test over the key assumptions in the model used in deriving on the recoverable amount.

No significant exception was noted from our work.

1.4 Other information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s directors’ report and annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors’ report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report the fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

1.5 Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements

The directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in

accordance with the Act and the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is 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 management either intends to liquidate the Company and/or its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

1.6 Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on these financial statements and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of the Act, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the content of this report.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 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 the Approved Standards on Auditing in Malaysia and the 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.

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8

(continued)

1.6 Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)

As part of an audit in accordance with the Approved Standards on Auditing in Malaysia and the International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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 of 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’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s 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/or 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 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 and/or the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements 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 Group’s financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance 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 those charged with governance 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 reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our 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.

2. Principal accounting policies

2.1 Statement of compliance

Thefinancialstatementsof theGroupandtheCompanyhave been prepared and presented in accordance with the provisionsof theCompaniesAct2016andtheMalaysianFinancialReportingStandards.

ThefinancialstatementsalsocomplywiththeInternationalFinancialReportingStandardsasissuedbytheInternationalAccounting Standards Board.

2.2 Basisofpreparationofthefinancialstatements

2.2.1 Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under thehistorical cost convention and any other bases described in thesignificantaccountingpoliciesassummarised inNote2.2.2.

The Group has adopted the new and revised Malaysian FinancialReportingStandards(“MFRSs”)andamendments

to published standards and IC interpretations that become mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these new and revisedMFRSs and IC interpretationsdoes not result in significant changes in the accountingpolicies of the Group.

The Group has not adopted the new standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that have been issued but not yet effective. These new standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations donotresult insignificantchanges inaccountingpoliciesof the Group upon their initial application other than the following:

(i) MFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective forfinancial periods beginning on or after 1 January2018)

MFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixedmeasurementmodel inMFRS139 and establishesthreeprimarymeasurementcategoriesforfinancialassets:amortisedcost,fairvaluethroughprofitorlossand fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”).Thebasisof classificationdependsontheentity’sbusinessmodelandthecontractualcashflowcharacteristicsof thefinancialassets.Investmentsinequity instruments are always measured at fair value throughprofitorlosswithanirrevocableoptionatthe inception to present changes in fair value in OCI (providedtheinstrumentisnotheldfortrading).Adebt instrument is measured at amortised cost only if the entity is holding it to collect contractual cash flows and the cash flows represent principal andinterest.

For financial liabilities, there were no changes toclassification and measurement except for therecognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fairvaluethroughprofitorloss,unlessthiscreatesan accounting mismatch.

There is now a new expected credit losses model on impairmentforallfinancialassetsthatreplacestheincurredlossimpairmentmodelusedinMFRS139.The expected credit losses model is forward looking and eliminates the need for a trigger event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

(ii) MFRS15RevenuefromContractswithCustomers(effectiveforfinancialperiodsbeginningonorafter1January2018)

MFRS 15 supersedes MFRS 118 Revenue andintroduces a new principle of revenue recognition. Thecoreprincipleof MFRS15isthatanentity

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 8

2.2 Basisofpreparationofthefinancial statements (continued)

2.2.1 Basis of accounting (continued)

recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amountthatreflectstheconsiderationtowhichtheentity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. MFRS 15 have established thecore principle of revenue recognition by applying thefollowingfive(5)steps:

1) Identifythecontract(s)withacustomer 2) Identify the performance obligations in the

contract 3) Determinethetransactionprice 4) Allocate the transaction price to the

performance obligations in the contract 5) Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity

satisfiesaperformanceobligation

MFRS15alsoincludesacohesivesetof disclosurerequirements that would result in an entity providing users of financial statements with comprehensiveinformation about the nature, amount, timing and uncertaintyof revenueandcashflowsarisingfromthe Company’s contracts with customers.

(iii) MFRS 16 Leases (effective for financial periodsbeginningonorafter1January2019)

Thescopeof MFRS16includesleasesof allassets,with certain exceptions. A lease is defined as acontract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right touseanasset(theunderlyingasset)foraperiodof time in exchange for consideration.

MFRS16 requires lessees to account for all leasesunder a single on-balance sheet model in a similar waytofinanceleaseunderMFRS117.Thestandardincludes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of low value assets and short term leases (i.e.leaseswithaleasetermof 12monthsorless).At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognisealiabilitytomakeleasepayments(i.e.theleaseliability)andanassetrepresentingtherighttouse theunderlyingassetduring the lease term (i.e.therightof useasset).

Lessees will be required to separately recognise

the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right of use asset. Lessees will be required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g. a change of lease term, a change in futurelease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments). Thelessee will generally recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right of use asset.

Lessor accounting is substantially unchanged. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as inMFRS 117 anddistinguish between two types of leases which is operatingandfinanceleases.

Eitherafullormodifiedretrospectiveapplicationisrequired for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January2019withearlyadoptionpermittedbutnotbefore the entity appliesMFRS 15 Revenue fromContracts with Customers.

The Group is in the process of making an assessment where the impact of the above new standards is expected to be in the period of initial application.

2.2.2 Significantaccountingpolicies

Functional and presentation currency

Theindividualfinancialstatementsof eachentity intheGroup are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The consolidated financialstatements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”),which is also the Company’s functional currency.

2.2.2 Significantaccountingpolicies(continued)

Basis of consolidation (continued)

the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties, both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory.

When the merger method of accounting is used, the cost of investment in the Company’s book is recorded at the nominal value of shares issued and the difference between the cost of the investment and the nominal value of shares acquired is treated as a merger reserve or merger deficit.Mergerdeficitisadjustedagainstsuitablereservesof the subsidiaries acquired to the extent that the laws and statues do not prohibit the use of such reserves. The results and financial positions of the companies beingmerged are included as if the merger had been effected throughout the current and previous reporting periods.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate thefinancial statements of the combining entities inwhichthe common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when combining entities first came under the control of the controlling partiesuntil the date that such control ceases.

Subsequent acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Identifiable assetsacquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition related costs are recognised as expenses in the reporting periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.

Any excess of the sum of their fair value of the consideration transferred in the business combination, theamountof non-controllinginterestintheacquiree(if any), and the fair value of theGroup’s previously heldequity interest in the acquiree (if any),over thenet fairvalue of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilitiesis recorded as goodwill in the consolidated statement of financial position. In instanceswhere the latter amountexceeds the former, the excess is recognised as a gain on bargainpurchaseinprofitorlossontheacquisitiondate.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and is presented within equity

in the consolidated statement of financial position,separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group is presented in the statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or loss and thecomprehensive income for the reporting period between non-controlling interests and the owners of the Company. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to haveadeficitbalance.

Changes in the Company owners’ ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflectthe changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributable to owners of the parent.

Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equityrelatedtothesubsidiary.Anysurplusordeficitarisingon the lossof control is recognised inprofitorloss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as equity accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influenceretained.

on initial recognition in the functional currencies at exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Non monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.

Income tax

Incometaxontheprofitor loss for thereportingperiodcomprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of thetaxableprofitforthereportingperiodandismeasuredusing the tax rates that have been enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax is provided for, using the ‘liability’ method, on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in thefinancialstatements.Inprinciple,deferredtaxliabilitiesare recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to theextent that it isprobable that taxableprofitwill be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the reporting period when the asset is realised or the liability settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except tothe extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised in equity or other comprehensive income respectively.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

Impairmentofnonfinancialassets

The carrying amount of nonfinancial assets subject to accounting for impairment is reviewed at each reporting

date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or the cash generating unit to which it belongs exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profitorlossinthereportingperiodinwhichitarises.

The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and its value in use. In assessing value in use, estimated future cashflows arediscounted to theirpresent value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflectscurrent market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset thatdoesnot generate largely independent cash inflows, therecoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. The reversal is recognisedinprofitorloss.

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost lessaccumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefitsassociatedwiththeitemwillflowtotheGroupandthecost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or lossduring the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Gain or loss arising from the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognisedinprofitorloss.

No depreciation is provided on leasehold building and renovation under construction until the asset is ready for its intended use.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated to write off the cost of the assets to its residual values on a straight line basis at the following annual rates based on their estimated useful lives:

Leasehold land over the unexpired lease period of 83to99years Leaseholdbuilding 2% Factoryequipment,plantandmachinery 5%-20% Renovations 10%-20% Officeequipment,furnitureandfittings 10% Computers 25% Motorvehicles 20%

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each reporting date to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumptionof thefutureeconomicbenefitsembodiedin the items of property, plant and equipment.

Development property and costs

Costs associated with the acquisition of land include the purchase price of the land, professional fees, stamp duties, commissions, conversion fees and other relevant levies.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and applicable selling expenses.

Land held for property development is transferred to property development costs under current assets when development activities have commenced and where the development activities can be completed within the Group’s normal operating cycle.

Intangible asset

Intangible asset comprising a master license acquired separately is measured on initial recognition at cost. Followinginitialrecognition,intangibleassetsarecarriedat cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated economic useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible assets may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date.

Gain or loss arising from derecognition of an intangible asset is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss when the asset isderecognised.

The costs of the master license is amortised on a straight linebasisoveritslicenseperiodof fifteen(15)years.

Investment in subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are those companies controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company is exposed or has rights to variable return from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

The Company’s investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost less impairment losses, if any.

Investment in associates

An associate is a company in which the Group has significantinfluenceandwhichisneitherasubsidiarynora joint venture.

The Group’s investment in associates is accounted for under the equity method of accounting based on the audited or management financial statements of theassociates made up to the reporting date. Under this method of accounting, the investment in an associate is measured in the consolidated statement of financialposition at cost plus the Group’s post acquisition share of theassociate’sprofitorlossandothercomprehensiveincomewhiledividendreceivedisreflectedasareductionof the investment.

Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s

shareof thenet fairvalueof theassociate’s identifiableassets and liabilities over the cost of the investment is included as income in the determination of the Group’s share of the associates’ profit or loss in the reportingperiod in which the investment is acquired.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence on impairment of the asset transferred. Where necessary, in applying the equity method, adjustments have been made to the financial statements of the associates to ensureconsistency of accounting policies with the Group.

When the Group ceases to have significant influenceover an associate, any retained interest in the former associateat thedatewhensignificant influence is lost ismeasured at fair value and this amount is regarded as the initialcarryingamountof afinancialasset.Thedifferencebetween the fair value of any retained interest plus proceeds from the interest disposed of and the carrying amount of the investment at the date when equity method isdiscontinuedisrecognisedinprofitorloss.

Any gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are also reclassifiedproportionately toprofitor loss if thatgainorlosswouldberequiredtobereclassifiedtoprofitor loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities.

Inventories

Inventories comprising raw materials, work in progress, tradingmerchandiseandfinishedgoodsarestatedatthelower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories isdeterminedonafirstinfirstoutbasis,Netrealisablevalue represents the estimated selling prices less all estimated costs to completion and costs to be incurred in selling and distribution.

Cost of raw materials and trading merchandise comprises the cost of purchase plus the cost of bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of work in progress and finished goods comprises thecost of raw materials used, direct labour and appropriate production overheads.

Leases

Assets acquired under leases or hire purchase which transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets are capitalised under property, plant and equipment. The assets and the corresponding lease obligations are recorded at their fair values or, if

Leases (continued)

lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments of the leased assets at the inception of the respective leases.

Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total lease commitments and the fair values of the assets acquired, are charged to profit or loss over the terms of the relevant lease periods so as to give a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each reporting period.

All other leases which do not meet such criteria are classified as operating lease. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the terms of the relevant lease.

Segmentinformation

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Financialinstruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Group has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial instrument is recognised initially at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument.

Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends and gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as a liability, are reported as 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 legal enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial assets are classified as either at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held to maturity investments, or available-for-sale, as appropriate. Financial liabilities are classified as either at fair value through profit or loss (derivative financial liabilities) or at amortised cost (borrowings and trade and other payables), as appropriate.

(i) Loans and receivables

Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables.

Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.

Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss if they are held for trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets held for trading are derivatives (including separated embedded derivatives) or financial assets acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or net losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss do not include exchange differences, interest and dividend income. Exchange differences, interest and dividend income on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised separately in profit or loss as part of other losses or other income.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss could be presented as current or non-current.

Financialinstruments (continued)

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (continued)

Financial assets that are held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current whereas financial assets that are not held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current or non-current based on the settlement dates.

(iii) Payables

Payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Payables are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

(iv) Interest bearing borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

(v) Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the fair value of the proceeds received net of direct issue costs. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the reporting period in which they are approved.

(vi) Treasury shares

When shares of the Company, that have not been cancelled, recognised as equity are reacquired, the amount of consideration paid is recognised directly

in equity. Reacquired shares are classified as treasury shares and presented as a deduction from total equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of treasury shares. When treasury shares are reissued by resale, the difference between the sales consideration and the carrying amount is recognised in equity.

A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairmentoffinancialassets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial assets, other than classified as fair value through profit or loss is impaired.

(i) Loans and receivables

To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis on similar risk characteristics. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increased in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio

(i) Loans and receivables (continued)

past the average credit period and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss through the use of an allowance account. When a debtor becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.

If in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Statementsofcashflows

Statements of cash flows are prepared using the indirect method.

Cash equivalents comprise cash balances and short term deposits with maturities of three months or less, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the preparation of the financial statements, the directors are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the directors and are based on historical experience and other

factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, which are described above, management is of the opinion that there are no instances of application of judgement which are expected to have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Management believes that there are no key assumptions made 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 reporting period other than as follows:

(i) Impairment of non financial assets The Group assesses impairment of plant and

equipment and non refundable deposits when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable. In assessing such impairment, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated using the latest available fair value (after taking into account the costs to sell) or the value in use of the relevant assets.

The Group assesses for indicators of impairment of plant and equipment and non refundable deposits based on key assumptions made in the approved budgets and business plans such as prices of papers, exchange rates, discount rates, inflation and other available information. Significant variations to these assumptions and estimates could result in changes to the assessment of the recoverability of these non financial assets. To the extent of any future determination that these non financial assets are not recoverable, future financial results in the reporting period in which this determination is made will be affected.

(ii) Deferred tax assets The Group’s deferred tax assets are recognised for

the unabsorbed capital allowances, unutilised tax losses and other deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of these deferred tax assets that can be recognised based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group considers

factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the trade and other receivables and default or significant delay in payments.

Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the impairment loss is determined based on the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

34.2 Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s overall financial risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on financial performance of the Group.

The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

There has been no change in the Group’s exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.

Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables. Credit risks are minimised and monitored via strictly limiting the Group’s associations to business partners with high creditworthiness. For other financial assets including cash and bank balances and other investments, the Group minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties.

The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored on an ongoing basis via the Group’s management reporting procedures.

98 Notes to the Financial Statements

(continued)

The Company provides unsecured financial guarantee to a licensed bank in respect of banking facilities granted to a subsidiary. Accordingly, the Company is contingently liable to the extent of credit facilities utilised by the subsidiary. The Company monitors on an ongoing basis the results of the subsidiary and repayments made by it. The maximum exposure to credit risk amounts to RM5,898,139 (2017: RM6,578,699) representing the outstanding banking facilities of the subsidiary as at reporting date.

The Company has evaluated the fair value of the corporate guarantee and is of the view that the consequential liabilities derived from its guarantee to the bank with regard to the subsidiary are minimal. The subsidiary for which the guarantee was provided is in favourable equity position, with no default in the payment of borrowing and credit facilities.

Interest rate risk management

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates.

The Group’s primary interest rate risk relates to interest bearing debts. 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. The information on maturity dates and effective interest rates of financial liabilities are disclosed in their respective notes.

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for the banking facilities at the reporting date. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 50 basis point higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s loss before tax would increase/decrease by RM29,000 (2017: RM32,000).

Liquidity risk management

The Group maintains sufficient cash and bank balances, and internally generated cash flows to finance its activities. The Group finances its operations by a combination of equity and bank borrowings.

The following tables detail the remaining contractual maturity for non derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.

Foreign exchange risk management

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities together with expected cash flows from highly probable sales and purchases give rise to foreign exchange exposures.

The net unhedged financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group companies that are not denominated in their functional currencies are as follows:

There is no such exposure for the Company.

The following table details the sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the relevant foreign currencies against the respective functional currencies of the Group. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items adjusted at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. If the relevant foreign currencies strengthen by 10% against the respective functional currencies of the Group, loss before tax will decrease by:

35. Fairvalueof assetsandliabilities

35.1 Fair value hierarchy

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

• Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

• Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The opposite applies if the relevant foreign currencies weaken by 10% against the functional currency of the Group.

Market price risk

Market price is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the Group’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than interest or exchange rates).

The Group is exposed to market price risk arising from its investment in quoted equity shares. The quoted equity shares in Malaysia are classified as held for trading financial assets.

Management monitors the equity instruments on a portfolio basis. Management believes that the changes of market price of its investment in quoted equity instruments would not lead to significant changes to the performance of the Group as the carrying amount of the quoted equity instruments is not material.

There were no transfers between these levels in the current and previous reporting periods.

35.3 Financial assets and financial liabilities not carried at fair value and whose carrying amounts are reasonable approximation of fair value

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

The fair value of the Group’s borrowings approximates their carrying amounts as these instruments were entered with interest rates which are reasonable approximation of the market interest rates on or near the reporting date.

36. Capitalstructureandcapitalriskmanagement

The Group sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholder, return capital to shareholder, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the reporting period ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017.

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital. The Group includes within net debt, loans and borrowings less cash and bank balances. Capital includes equity attributable to the owners of the Company. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the
