    The Audited Financial Statements under this agenda item is meant for discussion only as the provision of Section 169(1) of the Companies Act, 1965 does not require a formal approval of the shareholders and hence this item is not put forward for voting.

    The purpose of this general mandate is for possible fund raising exercises including but not limited to further placement of shares for purpose of funding current and/or future investment projects, working capital, repayment of borrowings and/or acquisitions.

    3. Item 6 of the Agenda – Ordinary Resolution 6

    FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

    The Group recorded total revenue of RM86.2 million for the financial year ended 31 March 2014 as compared to RM84.7 million in the year before. Its profit before taxation of RM5.8 million and profit after taxation of RM5.0 million improved from RM3.0 million and RM2.8 million respectively as recorded in previous financial year.

    The Group’s manufacturing and trading segments profitability has been badly hit by the escalating operational and finance costs but the performance has been partly offset by fair value gain on certain investment properties. The food and beverage segment has yet to turnaround during the year but losses has been minimized.

    DIVIDENDS

    The Group did not recommend any payment of dividend during the financial year.

    Dear Valued Shareholders,

    On behalf of the Board of Directors of Resintech Berhad, I am pleased to present to you the Annual Report and Financial Statements of Resintech Berhad for the financial year ended 31 March 2014.

  • Resintech Berhad (341662-X) Annual Report 2014 11

    OUTLOOK

    The prospect of the new financial year is expected to be very challenging especially locally. Input costs has not gone down and this may persist, if not worsen. Many of us are feeling the pinch of rising utilities and other living costs. At the same time, shortages of certain local materials are stripping away the margin too. The outlook in the West Malaysia hasn’t been very positive as well. Despite the media reporting that the recent series of invasions and abductions in Sabah have not affected the tourism segment, the market is slowing down. The Group is therefore on the lookout for new market and product developments.

    The Management is undertaking more restructuring in its main segment, which is the manufacturing and trading segment, to enhance the competitiveness of its finished products. We are also working on improving the food and beverage segment further by consolidating some of the outlets. Nonetheless, the Group continues to take mitigating steps to ensure impact of negative factors are minimised whilst still focusing on improving operational efficiency and cost effectiveness.

    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

    On behalf of the Board, I wish to express our sincerest appreciation to the Group’s management and staff and other stakeholders for their untiring efforts, support and loyalty.

    1. ESTABLISH CLEAR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

    1.1 Clear functions of the Board and those delegated to Management

    The Board is responsible for formulating and reviewing the strategic plans and key policies of the Company, and charting the course of the Group’s business operations whilst providing effective oversight of Management’s performance, risk assessment and controls over business operations.

    The Board delegates and confers some of its authorities and discretion on the Chairman, Executive Directors, and Management as well as on properly constituted Board Committees comprising mainly/exclusively Non-Executive Directors.

    There is a clear division of responsibilities between the Chairman of the Board and the Managing Director (“MD”). The Chairman leads strategic planning at the Board level, while the Executive Directors are responsible for the implementation of the policies laid down and executive decision-making.

    The role of Management is to support the Executive Directors and implement the running of the general operations and financial business of the Company, in accordance with the delegated authority of the Board.

At each Board meeting, the Chairmen of the relevant Board Committees report to the Board on key issues deliberated by the Board Committees at their respective meetings.

    In general, the Non-Executive Directors are independent of Management. Their roles are to constructively challenge Management and monitor the success of Management in delivering the approved targets and business plans within the risk appetite set by the Board. They have free and open contact with Management at all levels, and they engage with the external and internal auditors to address matters concerning Management and oversight of the Company’s business and operations.

    Key matters reserved for the Board’s approval include the annual business plan and budget, capital management and investment policies, authority limits/levels, risk management policies, declaration of dividends, business continuity plan, issuance of new securities, business restructuring, expenditure above a certain limit, material acquisitions and disposition of assets.

    Dato’ Abu Sujak bin Mahmud, one (1) of the Independent Non-Executive Directors, is seeking for re-appointment at the forthcoming AGM. The NC is satisfied that Dato’ Abu Sujak bin Mahmud has demonstrated that he is independent of management and free from any business or other relationship which could interfere with the exercise of independent judgement. The Board therefore recommends and supports his proposed re-appointment.

    The Board is committed to maintaining a sound system of internal control and risk management

    practices. In accordance with the Paragraph 15.26(b) of the MMLR of Bursa Securities, the Board

    append herewith its Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control within the Group during

    the financial year ended 31 March 2014.

    BOARD RESPONSIBILITY

    The Board recognises the importance of sound system of internal control to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the Group’s assets against potential shortcomings.

    The Board is also aware of the limitations inherent in any internal control systems. As such, a sound internal control system manages the potential risk of failure to achieve corporate objectives rather than totally eliminating it. Therefore, the system of internal control can only provide reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, against any material misstatements or losses. With such benefits and limitations, due consideration was given to weigh the cost as compared to the expected benefits from the devising and implementing the control procedures. Additionally, the MD and CFO have given assurance to the Board that the system is operating adequately and effectively to meet the Group’s objectives.

    RISK MANAGEMENT

    The Board acknowledges that there is an underlying and ongoing process in the Group for the identification, evaluation and mitigation of its significant risks. Management from each department identifies their risks within the defined parameters and standards. Such process was exercised through periodic management meetings held to communicate and deliberate key issues and risks amongst Management team members. Where appropriate, controls are devised, revised, improved and implemented.

    INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION

    The Board has continued to be assisted by the outsourced external consultants in carrying out the internal audit function. The Board review and evaluate the reports presented by the consultants on the implementation of the system and on the recommendations of best practices. During the financial year under review, two (2) internal audit reviews were carried out. For the financial year under review, the cost incurred for the internal audit function amounted to RM46,000.

    OTHER KEY ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS

    The other key elements of the Group’s internal control system are as follows:-

    a) Well Defined Organisational Structure

    Key responsibilities are clearly defined and authorisation policy sets out appropriate authorization limit.

    b) Operating Manual

    Internal policies and procedures are properly documented in the Standard Operating Procedures manuals.

    OTHER KEY ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS (CONT’D)

    c) Management Meetings

    Regular management meetings are conducted to review and discuss on relevant progresses and reports.

    d) Internal Audit Activities

    Internal audit activities are conducted to assess adequacy of controls and monitor of compliance with the Group’s Policies and Procedures.

    e) Management Visits

    Members of the senior management team carried out inspections regularly as a check to ensure that operations are running smoothly and problems arisen are solved without delay.

    f) Financial Results

    Financial results are reviewed and approved quarterly by the Audit Committee and the Board.

    CONCLUSION

    The Board is of the view that the risk management and internal control system in place for the financial year under review, and up to the date of approval of this Statement, is satisfactory. During the financial year under review, a number of internal control weaknesses were identified and presented for improvement discussion. These are not expected to result in any material loss.

    The Group will continue improving and enhancing the existing system of internal control pertaining to the identified risks with the anticipation of changing business environment.

    This statement has been reviewed by the Group’s external auditors in accordance with Recommended Practice Guide (“RPG”) 5 (Revised) : Guidance for the Auditors on Engagement to Report on the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control.

    This statement is made in accordance with the resolution of the Board dated 28 August 2014.

    Report on the Financial Statements

    We have audited the financial statements of Resintech Berhad, which comprise statements of financial position as at 31 March 2014 of the Group and of the Company, and statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 39 to 104.

    Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

    The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements so as to give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

    Auditors’ Responsibility

    Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

    An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

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

    Opinion

    In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as of 31 March 2014 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the financial year then ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia.

    Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

    In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia, we also report the following:-

    (a) In our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and its subsidiaries of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

    (b) We have considered the financial statements and the auditors’ report of the subsidiary of which we have not acted as auditors, which is indicated in Note 5 to the financial statements.

    (c) We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the financial statements of the Group and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required by us for those purposes.

    (d) The audit reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries did not contain a
