had been written down to their estimated realisable values.
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances: (a) which would require the writing off of bad debts or render the allowance for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the
Group or of the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or (b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
misleading; or (c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of
the Company misleading or inappropriate; or (d) not otherwise dealt with in this report or financial statements which would render any amount stated in the financial
statements of the Group and of the Company misleading. At the date of this report, there does not exist: (a) any charge on the assets of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year which
secures the liability of any other person; or (b) any contingent liability of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (CONT’D)
27Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the financial statements of GREEN OCEAN CORPORATION BERHAD, which comprise the statements of financial position of the Group and of the Company as of 31st March, 2011 and the statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 29 to 69.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia and for such internal control as the directors determine as 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 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 the auditors’ judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors 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 that we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as of 31st March, 2011 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended.
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 subsidiary companies have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act;
(b) we are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiary companies 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; and
(c) the auditors’ reports on the financial statements of the subsidiary companies were not subject to any qualification and did not include any comment made under Sub-section (3) of Section 174 of the Act.

STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS (CONT’D)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2011
35 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION The Company is principally an investment holding company. The principal activities of the subsidiary companies are as
disclosed in Note 15 to the Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in the nature of the principal activities of the Company and of its subsidiary companies
during the financial year. The registered office of the Company is located at 10-1, Jalan Sri Hartamas 8, Sri Hartamas, 50480 Kuala Lumpur.
The principal place of business of the Company is located at B-1-32, Block B, Merchant Square @ Tropicana, No.1, Jalan Tropicana Selatan 1, PJU 3, 47410 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan.
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company were authorised by the Board of Directors for issuance on 27th July, 2011.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”) and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
2.1 Adoption of New and Revised Financial Reporting Standards
In the current financial year, the Group and the Company have adopted all the new and revised Standards and Issues Committee Interpretations (“IC Int.”) issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010 as follows:
FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Amendments relating to reclassification of financial assets and reclassification of
financial assets - Effective date and transition) FRS 8 Operating Segments FRS 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (revised) FRS 123 Borrowing Costs (revised) FRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (Amendments relating to cost of an investment in a subsidiary,
jointly controlled entity or associate) FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (Amendments relating to eligible hedged items,
reclassification of financial assets, reclassification of financial assets - Effective date and transition and embedded derivatives)
Improvements to FRSs issued in 2009 IC Int. 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives IC Int. 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives (Amendments relating to embedded derivatives) IC Int. 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment
The adoption of these new and revised Standards and IC Interpretations have not affected significantly the amounts reported on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company except for those Standards and IC Interpretations as set out in section 2.2 and section 2.3. Details of other Standards and IC Interpretations adopted in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company that have had no effect on the amounts reported but may affect the accounting for future transactions or arrangements are as set out in Section 2.4.
2.2 Standards Affecting Presentation and Disclosure
FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
FRS 7 and the consequential amendment to FRS 101 Presentation of Financial Statements require disclosure of information about the significance of financial instruments for the Group’s and the Company’s financial position and performance, the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments, and the objectives, policies and process for managing capital.
Comparative disclosures have not been presented upon initial adoption of this Standard as the Group and the Company have availed themselves of the transitional provision in this Standard.
Green Ocean Corporation BerhadAnnual Report 2011
36 FRS 8 Operating Segments
FRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. In contrast, the predecessor Standard (FRS 1142004 Segment Reporting) required an entity to identify two sets of segments (business and geographical), using a risks and returns approach, with the entity’s “system of internal financial reporting to key management personnel” serving only as the starting point for the identification of such segments. As a result, following the adoption of FRS 8, the identification of the Group’s reportable segments has changed (see Note 36).
FRS 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (revised)
FRS 101 has introduced terminology changes (including revised titles for the financial statements) and changes in the format and content of the financial statements.
2.3 Standards Affecting the Reported Results or Financial Position
FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
The Group and the Company have adopted FRS 139 prospectively on 1st April, 2010 in accordance with the transitional provisions in FRS 139. On that date, financial assets were classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. Financial liabilities were either classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities (i.e. those financial liabilities which are not held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition). The accounting policies for financial assets and financial liabilities are as disclosed in Notes 3 to the financial statements.
All financial assets and financial liabilities within the scope of FRS 139 are recognised and re-measured accordingly.
As the change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively, the change has had no significant impact on amounts reported for 2010 or prior periods.
2.4 Standards and IC Interpretations Adopted with No Effect on Financial Statements
The adoption of the following new and revised Standards and IC Interpretations has not had any significant impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company but may affect the accounting for future transactions or arrangements.
FRS 123 Borrowing Costs (revised)
The principal change to the Standard was to eliminate the option to expense all borrowing costs when incurred. This change has had no impact on these financial statements because it has always been the Group’s and the Company’s accounting policy to capitalise borrowing costs incurred on qualifying assets.
Amendments to FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible Hedged Items
The amendments provide clarification on two aspects of hedge accounting: identifying inflation as a hedged risk or portion, and hedging with options.
IC Int. 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives
This Interpretation clarifies that an entity should reassess whether an embedded derivative needs to be separated from the host contract after the initial hybrid contract is recognised only when there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that otherwise would be required under the contract.
IC Int. 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment
This Interpretation requires that when an impairment loss is recognised in an interim period in respect of goodwill or an investment in either an equity instrument or a financial asset carried at cost, that impairment should not be re versed in subsequent interim financial statements nor in annual financial statements.
Embedded Derivatives (Amendments to IC Int. 9 and FRS 139)
The amendments clarify the accounting for embedded derivatives in the case of a reclassification of a financial asset out of the “fair value through profit or loss” category as permitted by the amendments to FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
Improvements to FRSs (2009) The Improvements have led to a number of changes in the detail of the Group’s and the Company’s accounting policies - some of which are changes in terminology only, and some of which are substantive but have had no material effect on amounts reported.

The directors anticipate that abovementioned Standards and IC Interpretations will be adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group and of the Company when they become effective and that the adoption of these Standards and IC Interpretations will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company in the period of initial application, except for the following:

version of the Standard, contingent consideration was recognised at the acquisition date only if payment of the contingent consideration was probable and it could be measured reliably; any subsequent adjustments to the contingent consideration were recognised against goodwill. Under the revised Standard, contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date; subsequent adjustments to the consideration are recognised against goodwill only to the extent that they arise from new information obtained within the measurement period (a maximum of 12 months from the acquisition date) about the fair value at the acquisition date. All other subsequent adjustments to contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability are recognised in statement of comprehensive income;
• requires the recognitionof a settlementgainor losswhere thebusinesscombination ineffect settlesapre-existing relationship between the Group and the acquiree; and
• requiresacquisition-relatedcoststobeaccountedforseparatelyfromthebusinesscombination,generally leadingto those costs being recognised as an expense in statement of comprehensive income as incurred, whereas previously they were accounted for as part of the cost of the business combination.
Upon adoption, this Standard will be applied prospectively and therefore, no restatements will be required in respect of transactions prior to the date of adoption.
FRS 127 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (revised)
The revised Standard will affect the Group’s accounting policies regarding changes in ownership interests in its subsidiaries that do not result in a change in control. Previously, in the absence of specific requirements in FRSs, increases in interests in existing subsidiaries were treated in the same manner as the acquisition of subsidiaries, with goodwill or a bargain purchase gain being recognised, where appropriate; for decreases in interests in existing subsidiaries regardless of whether the disposals would result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries, the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount of the share of net assets disposed of was recognised in statement of comprehensive income.
Under FRS 127 (revised), increases or decreases in ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group
losing control over the subsidiaries are dealt with in equity and attributed to the owners of the parents, with no impact on goodwill or profit or loss. When control of a subsidiary is lost as a result of a transaction, event or other circumstance, FRS 127 (revised) requires that the Group derecognised all assets, liabilities and minority interests at their carrying amounts. Any retained interest in the former subsidiary is recognised at its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the resulting gain or loss being recognised in statement of comprehensive income.
Upon adoption, this Standard will be applied prospectively and therefore, no restatements will be required in respect of transactions prior to the date of adoption.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention except
as disclosed in the summary of significant accounting policies. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and of the subsidiary companies controlled by the Company made up to 31st March, 2011. Subsidiary companies are those companies in which the Group owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the equity share capital and has power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities.
Subsidiary companies are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. On acquisition, the assets and liabilities of the relevant subsidiary companies are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The results of subsidiary companies acquired or disposed of during the financial year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition or to the effective date of disposal as applicable. All significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONT’D)
39 Business Combination
The acquisition of subsidiary company is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the business combination is measured as the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for the recognition under FRS 3 Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets that are classified as held for sale in accordance with FRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, which are recognised and measured at fair value less costs to sell.
Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary company represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary company recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the goodwill may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
On disposal of a subsidiary company, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
Revenue
Sales of goods are recognised upon delivery of products and when the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customers. Revenue represents gross invoiced value of goods sold and services provided net of sales tax, trade discounts and allowances.
Revenue from services rendered is recognised in profit or loss on the percentage of completion method based on the work and deliverables performed to date bear to the total contract sum. Where the outcome of the transactions cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenditure recognised that is recoverable.
Foreign Currencies
The financial statements of each entity in the Group are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). The functional currency of each entity in the Group is Ringgit Malaysia. For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of the each entity are expressed in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the functional currency of the Company, and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.
In preparing the financial statements of the Group and the Company, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are included in profit or loss for the period. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for differences (if any) arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in other comprehensive income. For such non-monetary items, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONT’D)
Green Ocean Corporation BerhadAnnual Report 2011
40 Employee benefits
(i) Short-term benefits Wages, salaries, paid annual leaves, bonuses and social contributions are recognised in the year in which the
associated services are rendered by employees of the Group and of the Company. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.
(ii) Defined contribution plan The Group and the Company makes statutory contributions to Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”), a statutory defined
contribution plan, at certain prescribed rate based on employee’s salaries. The Group’s and the Company’s contributions to the EPF are charged to the profit or loss in the period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group and the Company has no further payment obligations.
Government Grants
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred revenue in the statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Income Tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current Tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statements of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associate, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group and the Company expect, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONT’D)
41 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group and the Company intend to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (if any).
Property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land and capital work-in-progress which are not depreciated, are depreciated using the straight-line method at rates calculated to write off the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. The annual rates used are as follows:
Freehold building 4% - 10%
Plant and machinery, tools and equipment 10% - 20%
Electrical installation 9% - 20%
Motor vehicles 20% - 30%
Office equipment, furniture and fittings and computer equipment 10% - 33%
Office renovation 20% - 30%
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
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 recognised in profit or loss.
Property, Plant and Equipment under Hire-Purchase Arrangements
Property, plant and equipment acquired under hire-purchase arrangements are capitalised in the financial statements and the corresponding obligations treated as liabilities. Finance charges are allocated to profit or loss to give a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining hire-purchase liabilities.
Investment in Subsidiary Companies
Investment in subsidiary companies, which is eliminated on consolidation, is stated at cost less any impairment losses in the Company’s financial statements.
Development Expenditure
An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised when all of the following have been demonstrated:
(i) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; (ii) the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (iii) the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; (iv) the ability to generate probable future economic benefits; (v) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the
intangible asset; and (vi) the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (if any).
Development expenditure recognised as an internally-generated intangible asset is amortised on the straight line method over the life of the project from the date of commencement of commercial operation, which is on average five years. The life of the project and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each annual accounting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

42 Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, investment in subsidiary companies and development expenditure are reviewed at the end of each reporting period 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 its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is written down to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is revised upwards to the estimated recoverable amount, but to the extent that the revised carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Inventories
Raw materials, trading merchandise and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in first-out basis) and net realisable value.
The cost of raw materials and trading merchandise includes the original cost of purchases plus the cost of bringing the inventories to their present location. The costs of finished goods include the cost of raw materials, direct labour and an appropriate allocation of direct manufacturing overheads.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less selling and distribution costs and other related estimated costs to completion.
Short-term Investments
Short-term investments in 2010 were stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Provisions
Provisions are made when the Group and the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, when it is probable that the Group and the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
Financial Instruments Financial instruments are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the
Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONT’D)
43 Effective Interest Method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset/liability and of allocating interest income/expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) or payments through the expected life of the financial asset/liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial Assets
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets “at fair value through profit or loss” (FVTPL), “held-to-maturity” investments, “available-for-sale” (AFS) financial assets and “loans and receivables”. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
Where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, such financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade date.
Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.
Impairment of Financial Assets Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
Objective evidence of impairment could include:
• significantfinancialdifficultyoftheissuerorcounterparty;or • defaultordelinquencyininterestorprincipalpayments;or • itbecomingprobablethattheborrowerwillenterbankruptcyorfinancialre-organisation.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the credit period ranges from 30 to 60 days, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is 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 carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
With the exception of AFS equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

44 Derecognition of Financial Assets The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it
transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments Issued by the Group and the Company
Classification as Debt or Equity Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement.
Equity Instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its
liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group and the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities “at FVTPL” or “other financial liabilities”.
Other Financial Liabilities Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.
Derecognition of Financial Liabilities The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they
expire.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
A derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a financial asset; a derivative with a negative fair value is recognised as a financial liability. A derivative is presented as a non-current asset or a non-current liability if the remaining maturity of the instrument is more than 12 months and it is not expected to be realised or settled within 12 months. Other derivatives are presented as current assets or current liabilities.
Statements of Cash Flows
The Group and the Company adopt the indirect method in the preparation of statements of cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank balances, term deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with insignificant risk of changes in value, against which bank overdrafts, if any, are deducted.
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
(i) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3 above, the directors are 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.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONT’D)
45 (ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The directors believe that there are no key assumptions made 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 except as follows:
Allowance for doubtful debts The Group makes allowance for doubtful debts based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade receivables.
Allowance is applied to trade receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of doubtful debts requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of the trade receivables and doubtful debts expenses in the period in which such estimate has been changed. As at 31st March, 2011, allowance for doubtful debts for trade receivables has been disclosed in Note 19.
Impairment of goodwill Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating unit
to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. The carrying amount of goodwill in the statement of financial position was RM736,384 and no impairment loss was recognised during the current financial year.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment As disclosed in Note 3, recoverable amount of non-financial assets such as plant, property and equipment is the
higher of fair value less cost to sell and value-in-use.
The calculation of value-in-use involves the estimation of future cash flows expected to be generated from utilisation of the property, plant and equipment over their economic lives. These cash flows are discounted to present value using a suitable discount rate and the aggregate discounted cash flows is compared with carrying values of the assets to see whether any indication of impairment has arisen. No impairment loss was recognised during the current financial year. This evaluation is subject to changes such as market performance, future growths of the business, economic and political situation of the country.

The Group tests goodwill annually for impairment or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired.

During the financial year, the Group assessed the recoverable amount of goodwill and is of the view that no write-down of the carrying amounts of assets in the CGU was necessary.

Trade receivables comprise amounts receivable for the sales of goods and services rendered. The credit period granted to
trade receivables ranges from 5 to 90 days (5 to 90 days in 2010).
The Group’s historical experience in collection of trade receivables mainly falls within the recorded credit period and the directors believe that no additional credit risk for collection losses is inherent in the Group’s trade receivables. Allowance for doubtful debts has been made based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience of the counterparty and an analysis of the counterparty’s current financial position.
Trade receivables disclosed above include amounts (see below for aged analysis) that are past due at the end of the
reporting period but against which the Group has not recognised an allowance for doubtful debts because there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over these balances.

In determining the recoverability of the trade receivables, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated. Accordingly, the directors believe that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.
All trade receivables are denominated in Ringgit Malaysia.

Foreign currency sensitivity
The Group is mainly exposed to United States Dollar (“USD”).
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in RM against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit and other equity where the Malaysian Ringgit (“RM”) strengthens 10% against the relevant currency. For a 10% weakening of the RM against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and other equity, and the balances below would be negative.

This is mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on USD trade payables in the Group at the end of the reporting period.
34.6 Interest Rate Risk Management

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for floating rate interest bearing borrowings and is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the reporting period end date was outstanding for the whole year. A 10 basis point increase or decrease is used.
If interest rates had been 10 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit for the year ended 31 March 2011 would decrease/increase by approximately RM68,000. This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
34.7 Credit Risk Management

65 34.9 Fair Values
The fair values of financial instruments refer to the amounts at which the instruments could be exchanged or settled between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Fair values have been arrived at based on prices quoted in an active, liquid market or estimated using certain valuation techniques such as discounted future cash flows based upon certain assumptions. Amounts derived from such methods and valuation techniques are inherently subjective and therefore do not necessarily reflect the amounts that would be received or paid in the event of immediate settlement of the instruments concerned.
On the basis of the amounts estimated from the methods and techniques as mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the carrying amount of the various financial assets and financial liabilities reflected on the statements of financial position approximate their fair values.
The methodologies used in arriving at the fair values of the principal financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group are as follows:
• Cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, intercompany indebtedness and amount owing to directors: The carrying amounts are considered to approximate the fair values as they are either within the normal credit terms or they have short-term maturity period.
• Otherfinancialassets:Thefairvalueofcommoditypurchasederivativeswascalculatedusingmarketpricesthatthe Group would pay or receive to settle the related agreements.
• Hire-purchasepayablesandborrowings:Asthehirepurchasepayablesandborrowingswereobtainedfromanapproved bank at the prevailing market rate, the carrying value of these financial liabilities approximates its fair value.

A resource may be consumed through sale or use. Where a credit or a charge to the profit or loss upon initial recognition or subsequent measurement of an asset or a liability is not attributed to consumption of resource, such credit or charge should not be deemed as realised until the consumption of resource could be demonstrated.
