8 CHAIAN S STATEMENT Dear Shareholders, On behalf of the Board of Directors of Chin Well Holdings Berhad ( Chin Well or the Group ), it is my privilege to provide you the Annual Report and financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended 30 June ( FY ). This financial year has proved to be eventful and significant to the Group, as Chin Well not only positioned itself to ride the recovery of the European economy but also sought to enhance the sustainability of all our business segments. Our FY financial performance aptly demonstrated the fruits of the initial strategies adopted at the commencement of the year. We are hopeful that this achievement will form a strong foundation for the Group s future track record. FY Financial Performance I am pleased to announce that Chin Well posted a commendable net profit of 35.8 million in FY, jumping 61.8% from 22.1 million a year before. This was on the back of 5.1% rise in group revenue to million in FY, compared to million previously. The Group s improved profitability primarily resulted from an enhanced product mix, as well as greater operational efficiency due to higher sales. Notably, fastener sales to Europe the Group s largest market - rebounded strongly in FY in tandem with the recovering European economy, accounting for million or 58% of total revenue. Sales from Malaysia amounted to million or 24% of group revenue, while other countries contributed the balance 90.2 million or 18% for the same timeframe. Furthermore, the Group enhanced its product mix by extending its network in the Do-It-Yourself ( DIY ) fastener market. The year under review saw Chin Well securing contracts from the largest DIY fastener suppliers in Germany and France, complementing existing agreements in the United States and United Kingdom. Flowing from the better net profit, FY basic earnings increased 61.7% to sen, versus 8.13 sen previously. The favourable income statement was accompanied by an equally-robust balance sheet, where shareholder funds increased to million as at end-june, from million a year ago. In keeping with the Group s prudent financial policy, total borrowings reduced to 73.1 million, consisting only of trade-related short-term borrowings; and therefore comparing favourably with 91.8 million in borrowings in the previous year end. Cash and cash equivalents rose to 47.9 million, versus 30.7 million. Resulting from this, the Group maintained a low net gearing level of 0.1 time as at end-june, compared to 0.2 time previously. This financial position will provide Chin Well the necessary agility to fund any future expansion proposals as and when required. Dividends Arising from the positive financial performance, Chin Well declared and paid total dividends of 4.83 sen in respect of FY, comprising the following:- First interim single-tier dividend of 2.00 sen per share paid on 21 April, and; Second interim single tier of 2.83 sen per share paid on 21 October. The total dividend payout of 13.2 million constitutes 36.7% of group net profit. The Board is appreciative of our shareholders continued confidence in the Group, and we look forward to a mutually-rewarding partnership in the coming years. Forward Strategies The demand for fasteners from the public sector is for infrastructure applications, and from general consumers for usage in homes and/or offices. This versatility in fastener products is beneficial to industry players such as Chin Well who serve both corporate and end-user segments, as it mitigates business risk in the various economic cycles. Recognizing this, Chin Well intends to leverage on the positive reputation it has achieved and the wide product range it offers to capture the anticipated demand growth in the global fastener market. Therefore, we intend to enhance our production efficiency by investing in new higher-technology production lines. These machines, targeted to be commissioned in the Malaysia and Vietnam plants by end-, will allow us to increase output to meet customers requirements. 7 ANNUAL REPORT

9 CHAIAN S STATEMENT (Cont d) Forward Strategies (Cont d) The Group also intends to broaden our customer base by expanding our presence in existing markets and by entering new segments. In this respect, we are looking out for potential partners in the DIY fastener sector in other European countries to tap into the promising growth prospects. At the same time, we are in the process of obtaining the necessary European certifications so that Chin Well fasteners will be approved for usage in Eurozone s construction sector. Finally, we are embarking on product development initiatives, in order to build up a steady pipeline. A case in point is the high-security fencing produced by our wire-rod operations under Chin Herr Industries Sdn Bhd ( Chin Herr ). With unique anti-cut and anti-climb features, these high-security fences have been well-accepted by the domestic market since the fourth quarter of FY, and we believe have great export potential to overseas markets. We are optimistic that this valueadded product would be a game-changer for Chin Herr going forward. With these strategies in place, the Group is optimistic of our future outlook, and will endeavour to continue writing the next chapter of our growth story. Appreciation I wish to record my appreciation to my fellow Directors and to the management for their contribution and valued advice which has enabled Chin Well to reach a momentous year. I further wish to thank the Group s business associates, suppliers, customers, shareholders and employees for their collaboration and loyalty. Lim Chien Ch eng Chairman 8 ANNUAL REPORT

The key elements for fulfilling the criteria are the appointment of an Independent Director who is not a member of management (a Non-Executive Director) and who is free from any relationship which could interfere with the exercise of independent judgement or the ability to act in the best interests of the Company. The Board complies with Paragraph of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities which requires that at least two (2) Directors or one-third (1/3) of the Board, whichever is the higher, are Independent Directors. The current Board comprises four (4) Independent Non-Executive Directors and this reflects a strong independence element on its composition. The Independent Non-Executive Directors bring to bear objective and independent judgement to the decision making of the Board and provide a capable check and balance for the Executive Directors. The Nominating Committee had reviewed the performance of the said Independent Directors and is satisfied they have been able to discharge their responsibilities in an independent manner. On the option of the recommendation of the MCCG 2012 to set the tenure of an independent director at 9 years or to seek shareholders approval to retain an independent director who had served in that capacity for more than 9 years, the Board is presently of the view that there are significant advantages to be gained from the long-serving Directors who possess tremendous insight and knowledge of the Company s businesses and affairs. In addition, the ability of a Director to serve effectively as an Independent Director is very much dependent on his/her caliber and personal integrity and objectivity, and has no real connection to his tenure as an Independent Director. The Board had deliberated and satisfied that the three (3) Independent Non-Executive Directors who had served the Company for more than 9 years, are free from any business dealing or relationships with the Group which could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the exercise of their independent judgement. Hence, the Board recommends the existing directorate of the three (3) Independent Non-Executive Directors to remain unchanged but subject to shareholders approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company. PRINCIPLE 4 - FOSTER COMMITMENT Time Commitment The Board ordinarily meets at least five (5) times a year at quarterly intervals with additional meetings convened when urgent and important decisions need to be taken between the scheduled meetings. The Board receives documents on matters requiring its consideration prior to and in advance of each meeting.

All proceedings from the Board meetings are minuted and signed by the Chairman of the meeting. The Board met five (5) times for the financial year ended 30 June.

In view of the limitations inherent in any system of internal controls, the system is designed to manage, rather than to eliminate, the risk of failure to achieve the Group s business and corporate objectives. The system can therefore only provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance, against material misstatement, loss or fraud. The Board has established an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks faced, or potentially exposed to, by the Group in pursuing its business objectives. This process has been in place throughout the financial year and up to the date of approval of the annual report.

Adequate risk response strategies such as risk register, are in place to ensure consistent controls are practiced in the on-going process of identifying, managing and monitoring the risks. For each of the key risks identified, the management is responsible to continuously monitor the implementation of risk mitigation action plan to a level acceptable to the Board. During the year, the internal auditors are appointed to assist in the facilitation of the risk assessment update to certain subsidiaries in the Group. The update shall be reported to the Audit Committee on annual basis. INTERNAL AUDIT The Board acknowledges the importance of the internal audit function and has outsourced this function to an independent consulting firm.

The Audit Committee reviews the work of the Internal Auditors, their findings and recommendations to ensure that it obtains the necessary level of assurance with respect to the adequacy of the internal controls. In accordance with the audit plan approved by the Audit Committee, the internal auditors have conducted periodic reviews on the areas with high risk to ensure that an adequate action plan is in place to improve the controls and to ascertain that the risks are effectively mitigated. The independent reports on the state of internal control of the various core operating units are tabled directly to the Audit Committee and the audit findings were discussed at the Audit Committee meeting. Internal auditors will advise management on areas of improvement and subsequently initiate follow-up actions to determine the extent of implementation of their recommendations. INTERNAL CONTROL Apart from risk management framework and internal audit function, the Group has put in place the following key elements of internal control:- An organisation structure with well-defined scopes of responsibility, clear lines of accountability, and appropriate levels of delegated authority; A process of hierarchical reporting which provides for a documented and auditable trail of accountability; A set of documented internal policies and procedures for operational and human resource management, which is subject to regular review and improvement; Regular and comprehensive information provided to management, covering financial and operational performance and key business indicators, for effective monitoring and decision making; 19 ANNUAL REPORT

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 at 30 June 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.

38 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 30 JUNE 1. CORPORATE INFOATION General The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The registered office of the Company is located at A, Menara BHL Bank, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah, Penang. The principal place of business of the Company is located at No MK11, Lorong Perusahaan Utama 1, Bukit Tengah Industrial Park, Bukit Mertajam, Penang. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 21 October. Principal Activities The principal activity of the Company is that of investment holding. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are manufacturing and trading of fastening and wire products. There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the financial year. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION 2.1 Statement of Compliance The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with applicable Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards ( MFRSs ), International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRSs ) and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia. 2.2 Basis of measurement The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise indicated in the summary of accounting policies under Note 3. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to their fair value measurement as a whole:- 37 ANNUAL REPORT

39 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont d) - 30 JUNE 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Cont d) 2.2 Basis of measurement (Cont d) - Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. - Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to their fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable. - Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to their fair value measurement is unobservable. 2.3 Functional and Presentation Currency The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia ( ) which is also the Company s functional currency. 2.4 Adoption of New MFRSs, Amendments/Improvements to MFRSs, IC Interpretations ( IC Int ) and Amendments to IC Int The accounting policies adopted by the Group and by the Company are consistent with those of the previous financial years except for the adoption of the following new MFRSs, amendments/improvements to MFRSs, IC Int and amendments to IC Int that are mandatory for the current financial year:- MFRSs and IC Int effective 1 January MFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements MFRS 11 Joint Arrangements MFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement MFRS 119 Employee Benefits (International Accounting Standard ( IAS ) 19 as amended by International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ) in June 2011) MFRS 127 Separate Financial Statements (IAS 27 as amended by IASB in May 2011) MFRS 128 investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (IAS 28 as amended by IASB in May 2011) IC Int 20 Stripping Costs in the Production of A Surface Mine Amendments to MFRSs effective 1 January MFRS 1 First-time Adoption of Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards - Government Loans MFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities MFRS 10, 11 and 12 Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance Annual Improvements Cycle issued in July 2012 Initial application of the above standards did not have any material impact to the financial statements of the Group and of the Company except for the following:- MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement The Group and the Company have applied MFRS 13 for the first time in the current period. MFRS 13 established a single source of guidance and disclosure for fair value measurements. The scope of MFRS 13 is broad. The fair value measurement requirements of MFRS 13 apply to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other MFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of MFRS 2 Share-based Payment, leasing transaction that are within the scope of MFRS 117 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value (e.g. net realisable value for the purposes of measuring inventories or value in use for impairment assessment purposes). 38 ANNUAL REPORT

BASIS OF PREPARATION (Cont d) 2.4 Adoption of New MFRSs, Amendments/Improvements to MFRSs, IC Interpretations ( IC Int ) and Amendments to IC Int (Cont d) MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (Cont d) MFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under MFRS 13 is an exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, MFRS 13 includes extensive disclosure requirements. MFRS 13 requires prospective application from 1 January. In addition, specific transition provisions were given to entities such that they need not apply the disclosure requirements set out in the MFRS 13 in comparative information provided for periods before the initial application of the MFRS 13. In accordance with these transitional provisions, the Group and the Company have not made any new disclosures required by MFRS 13 for the comparative period. Other than the additional disclosures, the application of MFRS 13 did not have any material impact on the amounts recognised in the Group and in the Company s financial statements. 2.5 Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective The Group and the Company have not applied the following new MFRSs, amendments to MFRSs and IC Int that have been issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board ( MASB ) but are not yet effective for the Group and for the Company:- Amendments to MFRSs and IC Int effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January MFRS 10, 12 and 127 Consolidated Financial Statements, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and Separate Financial Statements: Investment Entities MFRS 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities MFRS 136 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets MFRS 139 Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting IC Int 21 Levies Effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 July Amendments to MFRS 119 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions Annual improvements to MFRSs Cycle Annual improvements to MFRSs Cycle Effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 MFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts Amendments to MFRS 116 Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation and MFRS 138 Amendments to MFRS 11 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations Amendments to MFRS 116 Agriculture: Bearer Plants and MFRS 141 Effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Effective date yet to be confirmed Amendments to MFRS 7 Financial Instrument: Disclosures - Mandatory Date of MFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures MFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2009,2010) MFRS 9 Hedge Accounting and Amendments to MFRS 9, MFRS 7 and MFRS ANNUAL REPORT

41 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont d) - 30 JUNE 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Cont d) 2.5 Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective (Cont d) The existing MFRS 111, MFRS 118, IC Int 13, IC Int 15, IC Int 18 and IC Int 131 will be withdrawn upon the adoption of MFRS 15 on 1 January The initial application of the above standards is not expected to have any financial impacts to the financial statements upon adoption. 2.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected Judgements made in applying accounting policies There are no significant areas of critical judgement in applying accounting policies that have any significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:- (i) Useful lives of depreciable assets The cost of plant and machinery for the manufacturing of fastening and wire products is depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these plant and machinery to be within 5 to 17 years. These are common life expectancies applied in the fastening and wire products industry. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and residual values of these plant and machinery. Therefore, future depreciation charges could be revised. (ii) Impairment of plant and equipment The Group performs an impairment review as and when there are impairment indicators to ensure that the carrying value of the plant and equipment does not exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount represents the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from continuing operations. Therefore, in arriving at the recoverable amount, management exercises judgement in estimating the future cash flows, growth rate and discount rate. (iii) Inventories The management reviews for slow-moving and obsolete inventories. This review requires judgements and estimates. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revision to the valuation of inventories. 40 ANNUAL REPORT

42 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont d) - 30 JUNE 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Cont d) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Cont d) (iv) Impairment of loans and receivables The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period 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 debtor and default or significant delay in payments. Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience of assets with similar credit risk characteristics. In addition, the local subsidiaries have made collective impairment of 1% as described in Note 3.7. (v) Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses and other deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the tax losses and other deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with tax planning strategies. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following accounting policies adopted by the Group and by the Company are consistent with those adopted in the previous financial years unless otherwise indicated below:- 3.1 Basis of Consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities, including unincorporated entities, controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The Group adopted MFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements in the current financial year. This resulted in changes to the following policies:- Control exists when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns through its power over the entity. In the previous financial years, control exists when the Group has the ability to exercise its power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Potential voting rights are considered when assessing control only when such rights are substantive. In the previous financial years, potential voting rights are considered when assessing control when such rights are presently exercisable. The Group considers it has de facto power over an investee when, despite not having the majority of voting rights, it has the current ability to direct the activities of the investee that significantly affect the investee s return. In the previous financial years, the Group did not consider de facto power in its assessment of control. The change in accounting policy has been made retrospectively and in accordance with the transitional provision of MFRS 10. However, the adoption of MFRS 10 has no significant impact to the financial statements of the Group for the current financial year. Investment in subsidiaries is measured in the Company s statement of financial position at cost less any impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of investments includes transaction costs. Upon disposal of investment in subsidiaries, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss. 41 ANNUAL REPORT

43 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont d) - 30 JUNE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont d) 3.1 Basis of Consolidation (cont d) (ii) Business combination Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method from the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. For new acquisitions, the Group measures the cost of goodwill at the acquisition date as:- the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, plus if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree, less the net recognised amount at fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised in profit or loss. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to recognise non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value, or at the proportionate share of the acquiree s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. (iii) Acquisitions of non-controlling interests The Group treats all changes in its ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control as equity transactions between the Group and its non-controlling interest holders. Any difference between the Group s share of net assets before and after the change, and any consideration received or paid, is adjusted to or against Group reserve. (iv) Loss of control 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 equity related to the former subsidiary from the consolidated statement of financial position. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. 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 an equity accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained. (v) Associate An associate is an entity, including unincorporated entity, in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Investment in associate is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method less any impairment losses, unless it is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements include the Group s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate, after adjustments if any, to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the associate. 42 ANNUAL REPORT

44 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont d) - 30 JUNE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont d) 3.1 Basis of Consolidation (cont d) (v) Associate (Cont d) When the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate, any retained interest in the former associate at the date when significant influence is lost is measured at fair value and this amount is regarded as the initial carrying amount of a financial asset. The difference between 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 is discontinued is recognised in the profit or loss. When the Group s interest in an associate decreases but does not result in a loss of significant influence, any retained interest is not re-measured. Any gain or loss arising from the decrease in interest is recognised in profit or loss. Any gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are also reclassified proportionately to the profit or loss if that gain or loss would be required to be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities. Investments in associates are measured in the Group s separate financial statements at cost less any impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. (vi) Non-controlling interest Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the equity holders of the Company, are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the owners of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group is presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or loss and the comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and 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 have a deficit balance. (vii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associate are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group s interest in the associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. 43 ANNUAL REPORT

45 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont d) - 30 JUNE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont d) 3.2 Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on the straight line method to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life at the following annual rates:- Short leasehold land Amortised over lease periods Buildings 1.9% - 10% Plant and machinery 6% - 20% Tools and implements 6% - 20% Office equipment 8.33% - 20% Furniture and fittings 10% - 20% Electrical installation 10% - 20% Motor vehicles 10% - 20% Freehold land is not amortised as it has an infinite life. Short leasehold land refers to land with remaining lease period of less than 50 years determined as at the end of the reporting period. Depreciation on capital expenditure in progress commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment. Upon the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. 3.3 Investment Properties Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Such properties are measured initially at cost. Initial cost comprises purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure for a purchased investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Freehold land is not amortised as it has an infinite life. Buildings are depreciated on the straight line method to write off the cost to their residual value over its estimated useful lives at 2% per annum. Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. 3.4 Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date, whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or asset or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly specific in an arrangement. Finance lease A finance lease which includes hire purchase arrangement, is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset to the lessee. Title may or may not eventually be transferred. 44 ANNUAL REPORT

46 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont d) - 30 JUNE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont d) 3.4 Finance lease (Cont d) Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the profit or loss. Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed. A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term. Leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease is classified as property, plant and equipment. Operating leases Leases where the Group does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases and, except for property interest held under operating lease, the leased assets are not recognised on the statement of financial position. Property interest held under an operating lease, which is held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, is classified as investment property. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the reporting period in which they are incurred. Leasehold land which in substance is an operating lease is classified as prepaid land lease payments. 3.5 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating units ( CGU ) to which the asset belongs. If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognised as an impairment loss in the profit or loss. An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of this asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset is recognised in profit or loss. 3.6 Financial Instruments Initial recognition and measurement A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 45 ANNUAL REPORT

47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont d) - 30 JUNE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont d) 3.6 Financial Instruments (Cont d) Initial recognition and measurement (Cont d) 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, transactions costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument. An embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if, and only if, it is not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the host contract is not categorised at fair value through profit or loss. The host contract, in the event an embedded derivative is recognised separately, is accounted for in accordance with policy applicable to the nature of the host contract Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement The Group and the Company categorise financial instruments as follows:- Financial assets (a) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables category comprises debt instruments that are not quoted in an active market. Financial assets categorised as loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current. (b) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale category comprises investment in equity and debt securities instruments that are not held for trading. The Group s available-for-sale financial assets consist of golf club membership. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost. Other financial assets categorised as available-forsale are subsequently measured at their fair values with the gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from monetary items and gains and losses of hedged items attributable to hedge risks of fair value hedges which are recognised in profit or loss. On derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity into profit or loss. Interest calculated for a debt instrument using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss. All financial assets are subject to review for impairment. Financial liabilities All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities, except for those having maturity dates later than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current Financial guarantee contracts A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due. 46 ANNUAL REPORT

48 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont d) - 30 JUNE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont d) 3.6 Financial Instruments (Cont d) Financial guarantee contracts (Cont d) Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial guarantee contracts are recognised as income in statement of comprehensive income over the period of the guarantee. If the debtor fails to make payment relating to financial guarantee contract when it is due and the Group, as the issuer, is required to reimburse the holder for the associated loss, the liability is measured at the higher of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation Derecognition A financial asset or part of it is derecognised, when and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in the 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 expired. 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. 3.7 Impairment of Financial Assets All financial assets (except for investment in subsidiaries and investment in an associate) are assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised. For an investment in an equity instrument, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is an objective evidence of impairment. An impairment loss in respect of loans and receivables is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. In addition, a collective impairment is provided on the total trade receivables at the end of the reporting period based on their aging after deducting bad debts and specific impairment. However, during the financial year ended 30 June, the management has reassessed the overall repayment from the customers and revised the collective impairment rate so as to reflect the expected pattern of collection as shown below:- New rate Old rate 31 to 90 days 0% 2% 91 to 120 days 1% 3% More than 120 days 1% 4% The revision was accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimates. The effect of the above revision is a decrease of current impairment charge by 1,362,657 and the profit for the year has increased by the same amount. An impairment loss in respect of available-for-sale financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset s acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and the asset s current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised. Where a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised in other comprehensive income, the cumulative loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classified as available-forsale is not reversed through profit or loss. 47 ANNUAL REPORT

49 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont d) - 30 JUNE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont d) 3.8 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, against which bank overdraft balances, if any, are deducted. 3.9 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials, indirect materials and trading goods is determined on a weighted average basis and comprises the original cost of purchases plus the cost of bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes raw materials, direct labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads and is determined on the weighted average basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale Non-current Assets Held for Sale Non-current assets that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, are classified as held for sale or distribution. Immediately before classification as held for sale or distribution, the net assets are remeasured in accordance with the Group s accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal. Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment once classified as held for sale or distribution are not amortised or depreciated. In addition, equity accounting of equity-accounted associate venture ceases once classified as held for sale or distribution Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group and the Company have a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation Income Recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and to the Company and when the revenue can be reliably measured on the following bases:- (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Dividend income is recognised when the Group s right to receive payment is established. Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the applicable effective interest rate. Rental income is recognised on a time proportion basis over the lease term. 48 ANNUAL REPORT

50 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont d) - 30 JUNE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont d) 3.13 Employee Benefits Short term benefits Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences, and short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur. Defined contribution plans As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the national pension scheme, the Employees Provident Fund ( EPF ). Such contributions are recognised as an expense as incurred. Retirement benefits Prior to 1 January, the Group operates an unfunded retirement benefits plan under a Collective Agreement made between the Metal Industry Employees Union and certain subsidiaries in Malaysia, whereby an eligible employee upon attaining the retirement age shall be paid retirement benefits of 20 days wages based on the last drawn salary for each completed year of service provided the employee had completed more than 5 years of continuous service with the Group. In addition, the Group may consider at its absolute discretion to extend this benefit to non-eligible employees upon their retirement based on the same terms and conditions as provided for under the said Collective Agreement. The Group s obligations under this plan are determined internally based on certain actuarial assumptions where the amount of benefits that employees have earned in return for their services rendered is estimated. Benefits are discounted using the Projected Unit Method in order to determine their present values. Based on this assumption, the directors are of the opinion that the present value of the benefits will not be materially different from the amount of provision made in the financial statements. However, effective 1 January, this retirement benefits scheme was superseded upon renewal of the Collective Agreement with the Metal Industry Employees Union, of which the revised terms and conditions are disclosed in Note 17 to the financial statements Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are substantially completed for their intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Group incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds Income Tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the financial year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. 49 ANNUAL REPORT

51 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont d) - 30 JUNE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont d) 3.15 Income Tax (Cont d) Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a 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. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Unutilised reinvestment allowance and investment tax allowance, being tax incentives that is not a tax base of an asset, is recognised as a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that the future taxable profits will be available against which the unutilised tax incentive can be utilised Foreign Currency Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period, except for those that are measured at fair value, are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments or a financial instrument designated as a hedge or currency risk, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia The assets and liabilities of operations denominated in functional currencies other than, are translated to at exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign translation reserve ( FTR ) in equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, the significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the FTR related to the foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. 50 ANNUAL REPORT

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont d) 3.16 Foreign Currency (Cont d) Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia (Cont d) In the consolidated financial statements, when settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the FTR in equity Share Capital, Share Issuance Expenses and Dividends An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments. Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Dividends on ordinary shares are accounted for in shareholder s equity as an appropriation of unappropriated profits and recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. Share premium includes any premiums received upon issuance of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits. Costs directly attributable to the issuance of instruments classified as equity are recognised as a deduction from equity Segment Reporting An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group s other components. An operating segment s operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker, which in this case are the Executive Directors of the Group, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available Contingencies A contingent liability or asset is a possible obligation or asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group and of the Company. Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised in the statement of financial position of the Group and of the Company. 51 ANNUAL REPORT

Therefore, a change in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would not affect profit or loss. Sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments An increase of 25 basis point would have decreased profit before taxation by amount shown below and a corresponding decrease would have an equal but opposite effect. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Group s other investment which comprise of transferrable golf club membership due to the lack of comparable quoted price in an active market and the fair value cannot be reliably measured. Therefore, this investment is carried at its original cost less any impairment losses. 80 ANNUAL REPORT

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions or expansion of the Group. The Group may adjust the capital structure by issuing new shares, returning capital to shareholders or adjusting the amount of dividends to be paid to shareholders or sell assets to reduce debts. No changes were made in the objective, policy and process during the financial year under review as compared to the previous financial year. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group has not breached any of the debt covenants imposed by its lenders. 35. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On 8 July, the Company has announced to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad that CWFC had disposed of its 33,213 ordinary shares of HK$1,000 each in the associate, Swisstec, equivalent to 50% of the total issued and paid-up share capital of Swisstec to DKSH Holding Ltd. for a total cash consideration of USD0.8 million or approximately 2,540,960. Following the disposal, Swisstec ceased to be the associate of the Group. Swisstec is loss making and the disposal is to eliminate further future sharing of losses in Swisstec. By realising the investment in Swisstec which is deemed to be non-core business of the Group, CWFC will be able to remobilise its resources for existing operation or being considered for other prospective investment opportunities. In view of the above, the Group has reclassified such investment as non-current asset held for sale as at 30 June. 81 ANNUAL REPORT
