CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED (“FYE”) 31 MARCH 2018

FYE 31 March 2018 was the seventeenth (17th) year of Weida (M) Bhd. (“WEIDA”) as a public listed company. We were listed in February 2001.

The Malaysian economy performed well above expectations in 2017 with gross development product (“GDP”) strong at 5.9 per cent, predominantly driven by private sector spending, reinforced by resilient external sector according to data released by Bank Negara Malaysia.

Despite the slight recovery of economy, the year 2017 has been another challenging year for most businesses in Malaysia as affected by downturn in the oil & gas industry and the soft property market, the volatility of Malaysian Ringgit, the increase in costs of imported raw materials and overall rise in commodity prices. Despite these challenges, the Group has managed to moderate the impacts on the Group’s businesses and is glad to report another year of respectable financial achievements which recorded a turnover of RM234.9 million and profit before tax of RM35.6 million for FYE 31 March 2018.

The Group’s financial position also remains very healthy as at 31 March 2018, with total equity attributable to owners of the Company of RM431.6 million, and cash balance of RM96.7 million. Due to the Group’s relatively low borrowings, it is currently in a net cash position and with net assets per ordinary share of RM3.40 as at 31 March 2018.

On this note, we are pleased to present to you some key financial statistics for FYE 31 March 2018, as follows:

∙ Group revenue retreated from RM301.4 million to RM234.9 million;∙ Profit before tax margin increased with profit before tax increased from RM34.3 million to RM35.6 million;∙ Total equity attributable to owners of the Company rose from RM414.9 million as at 31 March 2017 to

RM431.6 million as at 31 March 2018; and∙ Finally, net assets per ordinary share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company went up from

RM3.27 to RM3.40.

OPERATIONS REVIEW OF FYE 31 MARCH 2018

The Group’s overall performance has been improving despite the challenging market and operational conditions. The Group is able to successfully weather the headwinds by optimising operating efficiency and business opportunities. Another factor contributing to the Group’s resilience is our wide and balanced customer base, where revenue streams arising from public and private sectors projects and/or product sales are quite well balanced.

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

PROSPECTS OF FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING 31 MARCH 2019 (“FYE 31 MARCH 2019”)

Malaysian economy is expected to remain resilient in 2018 despite some volatility is seen near term after the 14th General Election environment, given its resilient and robust financial system. Malaysia’s annual economic growth slowed to 5.4% in the first quarter of year 2018. Gross domestic product growth projection is pending details on the new government’s economic policies. Bank Negara Malaysia decided to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (“OPR”) at 3.25%. However, the ringgit is expected to weaken against the US dollar for temporary.

Moving forward, given the abovementioned prospects and factors which will affect the Group’s businesses, the Directors will ensure continuous efforts to implement measures to improve operating efficiency in achieving sustainable results for the Group for the FYE 31 March 2019 on the strength of the diversified base of the Group which has helped to offset the adverse impacts to the Group. However, in view of the change of Government recently, uncertainty in market sentiment and volatility in the financial markets will take time to unfold in the coming months.

The prospects and business opportunities for WEIDA arising from the various development plans had been highlighted and discussed in some detail in this Statement in the past five (5) years’ Annual Reports, and shall remain valid and be applicable for the foreseeable future.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

On behalf of the Board, we would like to place on record our appreciation to our customers and shareholders for their support, without which our Group would not have been strong and successful.

We would also like to thank our associates, financiers, advisors, suppliers and sub-contractors for their continuing confidence and support to the Group.

Finally, the Board and I wish to thank the management and all employees of the Group for their unwavering commitment, contribution and hard work.

SEGMENTAL REVIEW - MANUFACTURING

Principal Activities

The business division is primarily involved in the manufacture and sale of HDPE products and trading of other specialised and technical engineering products.

Business Operation Overview

Manufacturing segment is principally involved in the manufacture and sale of the following products:• Water Storage• Water Distribution• Sewerage Solutions• Traffic Control Equipment• Agricultural Implements• Marine Products• Chemical Storage• Custom Moulded Products• Other Environment Products

WEIDA offers more than 200 types of products by six (6) manufacturing plants across Malaysia and Republic of The Philippines using proprietary technology spearheaded by our research and development unit and a team of engineers from different fields.

WEIDA is the largest septic tank manufacturer in Malaysia, providing septic tank system designed specifically for both domestic and commercial applications.

WEIDA is the leading manufacturer for underground drainage pipe systems for subsoil, storm drains and culverts applications.

Since pioneering the industry of polyethylene–based building materials manufacturing for more than a quarter of a century ago, WEIDA has remained as the undisputed market leader in Malaysia, with a dominant position in East Malaysia. Growing steadily as a manufacturer for water and wastewater engineering, WEIDA is a leading provider of modern environmental engineering products and solutions in the areas of water and wastewater infrastructures, products and services for both urban and rural applications.

The Group has a full presence nationwide with five (5) manufacturing plants strategically located in Nilai, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Miri and Tawau; and one (1) in Manila. The barriers of entry into this industry are high: substantial capital investment, intensive research and development programmes, and specialist technological expertise developed in-house over the years. This industry is generally capital intensive for big scale manufacturers. The main industry players have generally remained unchanged during the financial year under review.

Financial Performance Review

Despite the challenging economic situation, WEIDA’s manufacturing segment continues to deliver positive results. Our products are relevant and applicable to the development projects undertaken by the government such as provision of filtered water to the rural population, building of affordable homes, setting up of universities and educational institutions, construction of roads, jetties and landscaped recreational parks, agriculture and aquaculture projects.

The manufacturing segment achieved total revenue of RM162.2 million for FYE 31 March 2018 versus RM161.7 million for the previous financial year. The increase in revenue is due to higher demand in polyethylene engineering products and with more favorable mix of products and customers, a better profit margin was achieved with profit before tax recorded at RM21.7 million as compared to RM20.6 million in the previous financial year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (“MD&A”)


SEGMENTAL REVIEW - MANUFACTURING (CONTINUED)

Prospect

The Group’s manufacturing segment is expected to benefit particularly in products for public utilities in relation to the above infrastructures and projects, such as water tanks, septic tanks, water pipelines, electrical power conduits, telecom conduits and towers and drainage culverts. The Group’s polyethylene culverts are increasingly being accepted in road construction projects and oil palm plantations for drainage infrastructure. Also with the government’s construction of affordable homes and the continued construction of housing units, these projects will provide the continued demand for our products.

All these projects should augur well for the Group’s manufacturing segment. The Group’s manufacturing segment will continue to serve both the government and private sector.

Strategy

The volatility of Malaysian Ringgit has resulted in the higher prices for our imported raw material. However, we have kept the necessary buffer stocks and this has mitigated the effects of higher raw material prices. At the same time, we will have to revise our prices to pass on some of the increased costs to end users.

The challenges posed by a slow economy will see higher credit risks in the conduct of business. We will continue to exercise prudence in credit evaluation and assessment.

With a shrinking market, the competition to get the market share will certainly be heightened. WEIDA’s well positioned plants will be a leverage for lower costs of transportation and greater accessibility to the customers. In addition, we offer a wider range of complementary products that would serve customers’ demands better and more conveniently. We continue to upgrade and improve the quality of our products and services, such as including innovative features onto our products.

SEGMENTAL REVIEW – WORKS (CONTINUED)

Business Operation Overview (continued)

On 28 April 2017, the Group has secured a 20-year government concession at a construction cost of RM351 million to build new buildings and facilities for the Hospital Umum Sarawak (“SGH”) under a build-lease-maintain-transfer model (“Concession”). Under the Concession, Weida shall undertake:

(i) the planning, design, financing, development, construction, landscaping, supply, installation, completion, testing and commissioning of new buildings and facilities comprising the Day Care Centre, the Medi-Hotel and Multi-Storey Car Park and the Multi-Storey Car Park Complex (hereinafter collectively referred to as “New Buildings and Facilities”).

(ii) the asset management services which comprise the asset replacement programme and maintenance services to the New Buildings and Facilities; and

(iii) the operations and management services of the Medi-Hotel and Multi-Storey Car Park.

The Concession has effectively commenced on 23 February 2018 after fulfilling the conditions precedent to the Concession Agreement and the construction of the New Buildings and Facilities shall be completed within thirty-six (36) months which is by 22 February 2021 and thereafter, be continued with the asset management services until expiry of the 20th anniversary from the commencement date.

Also, under this segment, WEIDA offers a full spectrum of telecommunication infrastructure services from construction, installation and rental of these network facilities.

WEIDA is a leading company in telecommunication infrastructure construction industry in Malaysia particularly in Sabah and Sarawak. We have extensive experience and expertise in providing a full spectrum of services from site acquisition, line of sight mapping, design and build, tower installation, project management, tower audit and site maintenance services.

WEIDA has completed 460 telecommunication towers in Sabah and Sarawak. We have rented 244 telecommunication towers to service providers on a long term basis. WEIDA also provides services to other telecommunication service providers. These services include the construction of rapole, rooftops, Eddy Covariance towers, installation and laying of fibre optic network infrastructure, provision of technical site survey and installation of telecommunication equipment.


Given the nature of the works segment, its revenue and profit contribution typically fluctuates according to the ebb and flow of projects.

In the current financial year, this segment recorded a lower revenue of RM44.0 million (FYE 31 March 2017: RM64.9 million) but with higher segment profit of RM16.3 million (FYE 31 March 2017: RM9.6 million), mainly due to less construction work done but the impact was mitigated by higher profit margin achieved. No recognition of revenue for the SGH concession for the current financial year in view of the construction works is still in the early stage of construction.

Less construction work done was mainly because of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission’s (“MCMC”) Universal Service Provision (“USP”) phase 1 project was completed in FYE 2017. Also lower revenue derived from share of rental proceeds of telecommunication towers mainly due to reduction in rental rates as per the agreements with the service providers.

Prospect

There is a growing demand for telecommunication infrastructures in line with Sarawak State Government recently launched Digital Economy Strategy 2018-2022 which requires adequate telecommunication infrastructure to support the development. More telecommunication towers are needed to be built, more fibre optic cables to be laid as well as other infrastructural support to achieve this target. Reliable network facility infrastructure is a pre-requisite for the success of the digital economy and seamless connectivity. We continue to work together with service providers and the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia in developing telecommunication infrastructure landscape in Malaysia.

As at the date of this report, the construction works for the SGH Concession is progressing well and will achieve substantial progress for the coming financial year and thus, is expected to contribute positively to the revenue and earnings of the Group for the financial year ending 31 March 2019.



SEGMENTAL REVIEW – WORKS (CONTINUED)

Strategy

In view of the growing demand of telecommunication infrastructures, in the forthcoming year, we will strive to secure projects from the State Government and Ministry of Communications and Multimedia and to work with service providers in constructing the above.

In relation to SGH project, the Group will plan and implement the construction work accordingly to meet the timeline and ensure compliance with rules and regulations that governing the project.

SEGMENTAL REVIEW – ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & OTHERS


The business division is primarily involved in the sewerage services, treatment and disposal of sludge services as well as quarry operation.


Sar-Alam Indah Sdn. Bhd. (“SAI”) manages, operates and maintains three Septic Sludge Treatment Plants (“SSTP”) in Sarawak, more specifically in Kuching, Sibu and Miri. We have secured 25 years concession for Matang SSTP in Kuching commencing year 2002, providing sludge treatment and disposal for Kuching, Padawan and Kota Samarahan municipalities. In year 2011, we secured 20 years concession for Sibu SSTP and Miri SSTP, providing sludge collection, treatment and disposal for Sibu and Miri municipalities. The quarry operation is managed under Blast Power Sdn. Bhd.


This segment recorded revenue of RM24.1 million for FYE 31 March 2018 as compared to last financial year of RM24.6 million due to lower extraction and processing of quarry stone. There is a slight increase in segment profit from RM3.8 million in the last financial year to RM4.0 million in the current financial year mainly attributable to higher profit margin achieved, though slightly lower revenue is recorded.

Prospect

The growing emphasis on environmental sustainability also bodes well for the Group. Over the years, the Group has significantly grown and enhanced its human and engineering capital, via active involvement and collaboration with a network of established international organisations. The Group has been successfully playing, and will continue to play, the role as a provider of environmental engineering solutions; such as in the field of water and wastewater treatment, septic sludge treatment and renewable energy.

We are recognised by various local authorities and government agencies as the specialists in wastewater treatment as we provide expertise and sound solutions to ensure that the quality of our final effluent discharged from our plants are in compliance with the required regulations and standards.

Strategy

The management ensures strict compliance to environmental requirement and regulations from time to time via continuous updates and training in relation to the relevant legislations and regulations. It is important to maintain good rapport and relationship with all stakeholders (people, councils and government agencies) by achieving quality work, product and quality compliance as well as national recognition. As part of our commitment towards preserving our natural resources and promoting sustainable environment, the Group will continue to research into various methods of reusing the treated sludge.

The Group will work towards constructing more septic sludge treatment plants required by the State Government for bigger communities.

SAI is constantly pursuing more operation and maintenance contracts from other/new treatment plants.

SEGMENTAL REVIEW - PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT


The business division is primarily involved in the development and construction of residential properties.


The business division is principally involved in property development, namely of niche residential and commercial properties, located in prime and mature neighbourhoods within the Klang Valley.

Our Urbana Residences project (356 units of serviced apartments) at Ara Damansara in Petaling Jaya has been completed and handed over to proud owners. The Urbana Residences won an honour award in Property Developer category at the tenth (10th) Malaysia Landscape Architecture Awards, a validation of the concept and design of Urbana Residences. To date, only limited bumi units remain in hand.

The Group is currently in various planning stages for future developments in Cheras and Mont’ Kiara, both mature neighborhoods in Kuala Lumpur.


This business division recorded revenue of RM4.6 million for current financial year as compared to RM50.1 million in FYE 31 March 2017 as Urbana Residences project was completed in September 2016, i.e. last financial year with segment profit of RM3.0 million.

Segment loss of RM3.3 million incurred during FYE 31 March 2018 is mainly arised from preparation expenses for the Group’s proposed future developments.

Prospect

Following the recently concluded 14th General Election, the country as a whole is still adjusting to the historic transition. The sector is likely to remain neutral in the immediate term, as both developers and purchasers are likely to temporarily put on hold any major investments or purchases. In addition, current curbs on the housing sector, such as stringent requirements on the margin of financing, taxes and stamp duties remain in place.

Strategy

In order to navigate these challenging times, the Group has consciously employed the strategy of focusing on niche residential developments, in mature locations in the Klang Valley where demand and spending power remains resilient. The residential sub-sector accounts for 63% of the overall annual volume and 45% of the overall annual value transacted. Moreover, the country’s relatively young population, high household formation and growing urbanisation augurs well in the long term for the industry.

Moving forward, the Group will exercise great discipline in any launch or land bank acquisition. The management is continuously reviewing our planned launches. This entails revisiting and careful studies on our product design, pricing and even phasing strategies to ensure success for the benefit of the shareholders.

Besides maximising shareholders’ value, WEIDA believes that we are also responsible for our employees, environment and community. We create long term value by providing our clients with value-added products and services, promoting a corporate culture that adheres to high ethical standards, and by generating superior and sustainable returns for our shareholders. We firmly believe that sustainable growth and investment for any business is also dependent on what it does above and beyond the requirements of laws and regulations. This is why we are committed to creating a working environment based on the values of meritocracy, equal opportunity and diversity. As part of our business, we contribute to the protection of the environment. We also adhere to high social standards and contribute to the communities we are part of. All our activities are underpinned by our governance structure, which complies with the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2017.

ENVIRONMENT AND MARKETPLACE

Protecting the natural environment, sustainable development and living in harmony with the environment is at the heart of WEIDA’s core business in the water and sewerage sectors. As a one-stop centre for water and sewerage solutions, our people strive to protect the environment every day. For instance, we have designed and built many water and sewage treatment plants, thousands of rain water harvesting and gravity feed water supply systems for rural communities, and countless rural sanitation systems. The communities we serve are far and wide, in Malaysia and Republic of The Philippines.

The engineering products that we manufacture for water and sewerage applications are made from polyethylene (“PE”). PE products are corrosion resistant, relatively lightweight, chemically inert and seamless in construction. These superior characteristics make them ideal substitutes for similar products made from other materials such as fibreglass, metals and concrete. The U.S. Food and Drugs Authority Administration (“FDA”), an authority in the United States that certifies the types of materials that are suitable to be in contact with water and food for the purpose of safeguarding customers/public health, has approved polyethylene as safe for use as a medium of storage for drinking water and food. Many countries legislate against the use of alternative materials such as fibreglass, asbestos concrete, and in certain cases, polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”), for pipelines and water storage as they are hazardous to health and/or pollute the environment.

Our commitment to serving our community goes beyond providing environmentally friendly products. We go one step further by working hand in hand with local city councils and provide services and infrastructure that benefit the people we serve. We have taken the initiative to develop projects that will not only enhance the environment, but serve as a platform where WEIDA can make positive contributions to the daily lives of the community.

PEOPLE AND SAFETY

At WEIDA, our people is our main asset. The Group endeavours to attract, develop and retain the best talents the market has to offer by providing a continuous learning and conducive working environment. We believe in recognising, advancing and rewarding top talents in an open and mutually supportive work environment which reflects our core corporate values. We pride ourselves as an equal opportunity employer. These core values shape the root of a sturdy corporate culture that fosters teamwork and unites our people for sustainable growth.

We continuously invest in our people to send them for external professional trainings, seminars and conferences, and also in house training to provide them with relevant skills to thrive in a constantly changing business environment. In addition, various teambuilding activities are organised in order to foster awareness of time management and team spirit as well as to reinforce commitment to our team’s shared goals and objectives.

Safety and health of our employees is our priority and we are continually looking into ways to improve our performance in these areas.

The Board of Directors of Weida (M) Bhd. (“the Board”) is steadfast and committed in ensuring that the highest standards of corporate governance are embedded and applied throughout Weida (M) Bhd (“WEIDA” or “the Company”) and its Group of Companies (“the Group”) through its support and application of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2017 (“MCCG 2017”). The Board believes that upholding good corporate governance is fundamental in discharging its fiduciary responsibilities to protect and enhance shareholders’ value and the financial performance of the Group.

PRINCIPLE A - BOARD LEADERSHIP AND EFFECTIVENESS

I) Board Responsibilities

The Board recognises the key role it plays in charting the strategic direction of the Company and has assumed the following principal responsibilities in discharging its fiduciary and leadership functions:

(a) reviewing and adopting a strategic plan for the Company, which also addresses the sustainability of the Group’s businesses;

(b) overseeing the conduct of the Group’s businesses and evaluating whether or not its businesses are being properly managed;

(c) identifying principal business risks faced by the Group and ensuring the implementation of appropriate internal controls and mitigating measures to address such risks;

(e) overseeing the development and implementation of a shareholder communications policy; and

To assist in the discharge of its stewardship role, the Board has established Board Committees, namely the Audit Committee, Nominating Committee, Remuneration Committee and Risk Management Committee, to examine specific issues within their respective terms of reference as approved by the Board and report to the Board with their recommendations. The ultimate responsibility for decision making, however, lies with the Board.

The senior management (“Management”) is delegated with certain authority to enable them to effectively discharge their duties and responsibilities, subject to the Company’s authority limits granted to the Management. Management under the stewardship of the Group Executive Chairman will keep the Board informed of material issues that may significantly affect the Group’s policies and performance.

II) Board Composition

During the financial year under review, the Board consisted of two (2) Executive Directors and four (4) Independent Directors. At all times, during the financial year under review, the composition of the Board fulfills the requirements as set out in the Main Market Listing Requirements (“Listing Requirements”) of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa”), which stipulate that at least two (2) Directors or one-third (1/3) of the Board, whichever is higher, must be independent. The Directors, with their diverse backgrounds and specialisations, collectively bring with them a wide range of experience and expertise in areas such as engineering, entrepreneurship, finance, taxation, accounting, audit, economics and legal. The profile of each Director is set out on pages 4 to 7 of this Annual Report.

The Independent Directors bring to bear objective and independent views, advice and judgment on interests, not only of the Group, but also of shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers and the communities in which the Group conducts its business. Independent Directors are essential for protecting the interests of shareholders and can make significant contributions to the Company’s decision making by bringing in the quality of detached impartiality.

The Directors had devoted sufficient time and efforts to carry out their responsibilities. The Board shall obtain this commitment from Directors at the time of their appointment. Each Director is expected to commit time as and when required to discharge the relevant duties and responsibilities, besides attending meetings of the Board and Board Committees.

Thus far, the Board is satisfied with the level of time commitment given by all the Directors in fulfilling their roles and responsibilities as Directors of the Company. This is evidenced by their attendance at the meetings of the Board and the Board Committees. All the Directors hold not more than five (5) directorships in listed issuers.

Checks and balances in corporate decision making at Board level arise from the Board comprising of a majority of Independent Directors and the existence of a Board Charter that formally sets out a schedule of matters reserved solely for the Board’s decision making. While the Group Executive Chairman is not an independent director, the Board comprise a majority of independent directors.

The Independent Directors participated in Board and Board Committees’ meetings actively and constructively by expressing their independent views.

The Board and its Nominating Committee (“NC”) noted that the key tasks of the NC is to ensure that the Company recruits, retains, trains and develops the best available executive and non-executive directors and manages Board renewal and succession effectively.

The NC will recommend candidates for all directorships to be filled for the consideration of the Board. This involves identification and evaluation of candidates for directorships, interviewing or meeting up with candidates by Board members, deliberation by the NC and recommendations by the NC to the Board.

New Directors will undergo a familiarisation programme, which includes visits to the WEIDA Group’s businesses, and meetings with Senior Management, as appropriate, to facilitate the new Directors’ understanding of WEIDA Group. The Company Secretaries will ensure that all appointments of new Director are properly carried out and all legal and regulatory obligations are met.

The Board, through the NC conducted an annual assessment of the performance of the Board, as a whole, Board Committees and individual Directors, based on a peer-assessment approach. From the results of the assessment, including the mix of skills and experience possessed by Directors, the Board considered and approved the recommendations made by the NC on the re-election and re-appointment of Directors at the Company’s forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

All assessments and evaluations carried out by the NC in the discharge of all its functions are properly documented.




II) Board Composition (continued)

The Board, through the Nominating Committee, assesses the Independent Directors annually based on the Directors’ Selection, Recruitment, Assessment Policies and Procedures. The MCCG 2017 provides a limit of a consecutive term of nine (9) years on the tenure of an Independent Director. However, an Independent Director may continue to serve on the Board upon reaching the nine (9)-year limit subject to the Independent Director’s re-designation as a Non-Independent Non-Executive Director. In the event the Board intends to retain the Director as Independent Director after the latter has served a consecutive term of nine (9) years, the Board must justify the decision and seek shareholders’ approval at general meeting. In justifying the decision, the Board is required to assess the candidate’s suitability to continue as an Independent Director based on the criteria adopted by the Board.

The Board has stipulated specific terms of reference for the NC, which cover, inter-alia, selecting, assessing and recommending to the Board the candidature of Directors, appointment of Directors to Board Committees and training programmes for the Board.

Insofar as board diversity is concerned, the composition of the Board shall be guided by the Board Diversity Policy, set out in Appendix C of the Charter, to ensure the Board is of appropriate mix so as to optimise the performance of the Board as a whole and align the Board’s capabilities with the strategic direction of the Company.

III) Directors’ Remuneration

The Board has adopted and formalised Remuneration Policies and Procedures for Directors. The Remuneration Committee is responsible for evaluating and setting the remuneration policy framework and recommending to the Board the remuneration package of Directors so as to ensure that the Company is able to attract and retain directors of the necessary calibre to run the Group successfully. The components of Directors’ remuneration are structured so as to link rewards to corporate and individual performance in the case of Executive Directors. In the case of Independent Directors, the level of remuneration reflects the experience and level of responsibilities undertaken by the individual Independent Director concerned. The remuneration for non-executive directors shall be decided by the Board as a whole.

The remuneration of non-executive directors comprises of fees, meeting allowance and other benefits.

To assist in the discharge of its duties on financial reporting, the Board has established an Audit Committee, comprising exclusively Non-Executive Directors, all of whom are Independent Directors, with Mr. Yeoh Chin Hoe as the Audit Committee Chairman. The composition of the Audit Committee, including its roles and responsibilities, are set out in the Report of the Audit Committee on pages 41 to 45 of this Annual Report.

The Board understands its role in upholding the integrity of financial reporting by the Company. Accordingly, the Audit Committee, which assists the Board in overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company, has adopted Non-audit Services Policies and Procedures (“NAS P&P”) as guidelines for the types of non-audit services permitted to be provided by the external auditors, including the need for the Audit Committee’s approval before such services can be provided by the external auditors.

In assessing the independence of external auditors, the Audit Committee has adopted an External Auditor Performance and Independence Checklist and obtained written assurance from the external auditors, confirming that they and their network firm, engagement partner and audit team’s independence, integrity and objectivity comply with relevant ethical requirements.

During the financial year under review, the Audit Committee met with the external auditors twice (2) without the presence of the other Directors and employees of the Group.

Further information on the Audit Committee is elaborated in the Report of the Audit Committee as set out on pages 41 to 45 of this Annual Report.

Accordingly, the Board has formalised this framework as further elaborated in the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control.

The in-house internal audit function is guided by professional standards promulgated by the Institute of Internal Auditors Inc, a globally recognised professional body for internal auditors. The Internal Audit Manager reports directly to the Audit Committee. The internal audit function is independent of the activities it audits and the scope of work covered by the internal audit during the financial year under review is provided in the Report of the Audit Committee of the Company set out on pages 44 to 45 of this Annual Report.

INTRODUCTION

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Weida (M) Bhd. (“the Company”) is committed to maintain a sound system of risk management and internal control in the Company and its Group of Companies (“the Group”) and is pleased to provide the following Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control (“Statement”), which outlines the nature and scope of risk management and internal control of the Group during the financial year ended 31 March 2018. For the purpose of disclosure, this Statement takes into account the Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers (“Guidelines”) issued by Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa”) on the issuance of the Statement pursuant to Paragraph 15.26(b) of the Main Market Listing Requirements.

BOARD RESPONSIBILITY

The Board recognises the importance of maintaining a sound system of internal control and the proper management of risks affecting the Group’s operations in order to achieve the Group’s business objectives, safeguard the Group’s assets as well as the interest of shareholders, customers, regulators and employees. Accordingly, the Board affirms its overall responsibility for the Group’s system of internal control and risk management, and for reviewing the operating adequacy and effectiveness of the said system. The system covers not only financial but also operational and compliance risks and the relevant controls designed to manage the said risks.

In view of the limitations inherent in any system of risk management and internal controls, the system is designed to manage, rather than 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 or loss.

The Board has in place an on-going process for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks faced by the Group. The Board, through its Audit Committee, reviews the results of this process, including mitigating measures taken by Management, to address areas of key risks as identified. This process has been in place for the financial year under review and up to the date of approval of this Statement for inclusion in the Annual Report of the Company.

RISK mANAGEmENT FRAmEwORK

The Group has established a risk management framework which provides a structured process to identify, evaluate, control, report and monitor significant risks faced by the Group, in line with the Principles and Guidelines of ISO31000: 2009 Risk Management. It also culminated in the compilation of a Group Risk Profile with specific risk registers for each operating company in the Group as well as action plans for mitigating the identified risks. The framework includes a risk management policy and guidelines document, the risk parameters, i.e. financial and non-financial criteria for evaluating the likelihood of risk and its impact to the Group. The Group Risk Profile and Risk Register include the following risk information:

(a) the principal risks faced by the Group under appropriate risk categories based on the key processes of operations;

(b) the likelihood of risks crystallising and the resulting impact thereof; and

(c) the internal controls deployed by Management to address those risks.

For each of the risk identified, designated personnel of the companies in the Group is assigned to ensure appropriate risk response actions are carried out in a timely manner.

The Risk Management Committee (“RMC”) was established on 26 May 2015 by the Board to assist the Board to oversee the overall management of principal areas of risk of the Group. The RMC, headed by the Group Executive Chairman, carries out its responsibility to identify and communicate to the Board the principal risks faced by the Group, their evolution, and Management’s action plans to manage these risks. Furthermore, a Risk Management Working Group (“RMWG”), comprising Senior Executives and risk owners, was established on 1 December 2015 by RMC. The primary purpose of the RMWG is to assist the RMC in discharging its duties and functions as outlined in RMC’s terms of reference.

During the financial year under review, reports, which included the risk profiles, risk control reports and status updates, had been presented to the RMC and the Board.

We have audited the financial statements of Weida (M) Bhd., which comprise the statements of financial position as at 31 March 2018 of the Group and of the Company, and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as set out on pages 61 to 151.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 March 2018, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.

basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our auditors’ report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence and other Ethical responsibilities

We are independent of the Group and of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-Laws”) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current financial year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.


1. revenue recognition from construction contracts Refer to Note 2(p)(ii) (Construction contract accounting policy) and Note 22 (Revenue)

The key audit matter

The revenue from construction contracts accounted for approximately 10% of the Group’s total revenue.

Revenue arose from the Group’s construction contracts requires significant management judgement in the assessment of the current and future financial performance of the contracts.

The Group recognises contract revenue and contract cost in profit or loss using the stage of completion method, by reference to the completion of a physical proportion of the contract work (for telecommunication towers contracts) and survey of work performed (for installation and construction of wastewater and water treatment contracts).

We identified this area as a key audit matter due to significant judgement involved in estimating revenue recognised over the contract life and determining the achievement of contractual milestones in the stage of completion method .

how the matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures included, amongst others:

We evaluated the design and implementation of controls for the process of determining the revenue recognised in the financial statements.

We compared the stage of completion recognised by the Group against the percentage of completion based on cost method. Our procedures include inspecting certificates verified by surveyors/consultants and comparing actual costs with estimated costs.

We assessed and challenged the estimation of the remaining costs to complete the projects by checking to the sub-contractors contracts and quotations for the remaining costs to be incurred.

We inspected all construction contracts and checked the contract sum of all new contracts secured to letters of award/agreements and for existing projects, to approved variation orders.

We checked to certificate of completion for projects completed during the year and certificate of making good defects for projects that have a lapsed defect liability period.

We considered the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures on the degree of judgement involved in arriving at the contract revenues.


58 I WEIDA (M) BHD. (504747-W)

The key audit matter

The Group has a significant level of trade receivables at approximately 19% of its total assets.

The Group determines allowance for impairment losses on doubtful receivables based on an on-going review and evaluation performed as part of its credit risk evaluation process. The evaluation is however inherently judgemental and requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received, which may be susceptible to significant changes.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from its receivables. We have identified recoverability of trade receivables as a key audit matter because the recoverability is dependent on the credit worthiness of customers and their ability to settle the amounts due which increases the risk of non-payment and non-recovery. Accordingly, allowance for impairment losses are required when there is indicator of non-payment and non-recovery of debts.

how the matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures included, amongst others:

We evaluated the design and implementation of the Group’s controls over the receivables collection processes, including the Group’s credit control process over aged receivables and customer credit approvals.

We tested the adequacy of the Group’s allowances against trade receivables by assessing the assumptions made by the Group in determining the level of allowances for each category of aged debt, with reference to the profile of aged debts at the reporting date and post year-end payment records.

We also considered the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures about the degree of judgement and estimation involved in arriving at the allowances for the impairment of receivables.

2. valuation of trade receivables Refer to Note 2(m) (Impairment of financial assets accounting policy) and Note 10 (Trade and other

receivables)

We have determined that there is no key audit matter in the audit of the separate financial statements of the Company to communicate in our auditors’ report.

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements of the Group and of the Company and our auditors’ report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover the annual report and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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



responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Statements

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia. The Directors are also responsible for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Company that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, the Directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and of the Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Company as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Group and of the Company.

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

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group or of the Company to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Company represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements of the Group. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.


60 I WEIDA (M) BHD. (504747-W)

We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our auditors’ report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

rEporT oN oThEr LEGAL AND rEGuLATory rEquIrEMENTS

In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia, we report that the subsidiaries of which we have not acted as auditors are disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements.

This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.

NoTES To ThE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Weida (M) Bhd. is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is Wisma Hock Peng, Ground Floor to 2nd Floor, 123, Green Heights, Jalan Lapangan Terbang, 93250 Kuching, Sarawak.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the financial year ended 31 March 2018 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” and individually referred to as “Group entities”) and the Group’s interest in an associate. The financial statements of the Company as at and for the financial year ended 31 March 2018 do not include other entities.

The Company is principally engaged in investment holding and the provision of management services whilst the principal activities of the subsidiaries are as stated in Note 6 to the financial statements.

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 22 June 2018.

1. basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

The financial statements of the Group and the Company have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards (“FRSs”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.

The following are accounting standards, amendments and interpretations of the FRSs that have been issued by Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) but have not been adopted by the Group and the Company:

Standard/Interpretation/Amendment Effective date

FRS 9, Financial Instruments (2014) 1 January 2018 IC Interpretation 22, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration 1 January 2018 Amendments to FRS 1, First time Adoption of Financial Reporting Standards (Annual Improvements to FRS Standards 2014-2016 Cycle) 1 January 2018 Amendments to FRS 2, Share-based Payment - Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions 1 January 2018 Amendments to FRS 4, Insurance Contracts - Applying FRS 9 Financial Instruments with FRS 4 Insurance Contracts 1 January 2018 Amendments to FRS 128, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (Annual Improvements to FRS Standards 2014 – 2016 Cycle) 1 January 2018 Amendments to FRS 140, Investment Property - Transfers of Investment Property 1 January 2018 IC Interpretation 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments 1 January 2019 Amendments to FRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and FRS 128, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture Yet to be confirmed

Given that certain Group entities are transitioning entities (being entities subject to the application of IC Interpretation 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate and the entity that consolidates or equity accounts or proportionately consolidates the first-mentioned entities), the Group is currently exempted from adopting the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRSs”) Framework until 1 April 2018 as mandated by the MASB.

As a result, the Group and the Company will not be adopting the above FRSs, interpretations and amendments.

(b) basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis other than as disclosed in Note 2.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the Company’s functional currency.



1. basis of preparation (continued)

(d) use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with FRSs 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 on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected thereby.

There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements other than those disclosed in the following notes:

• Note 3.4, impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment;• Note 9.2, impairment testing of rights to share rental proceeds of telecommunication towers;• Note 9.3, impairment testing of rights to provide sewerage services, treatment and disposal of

sludge;• Note 10.4, assessment of impairment loss on receivables; • Note 12, recognition of deferred tax assets;• Note 21.3, estimation of land owners’ entitlement; and• Recognition of profit from construction contracts, installation works and property development

activities, as follows:

(i) Profitrecognitionfrominstallationandconstructionofwastewater,andwatertreatmentsystems

The Group recognises contract revenue and contract costs from the installation and construction of wastewater and water treatment specialised systems in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transactions, measured by reference to survey of work performed.

(ii) Profitrecognitionfromconstructionoftelecommunicationtowers

The Group recognises contract revenue and contract costs from the construction of telecommunication towers in profit or loss using the stage of completion method, determined by reference to the physical proportion of the contract work completed.

Significant judgement is required in determining the stage of completion of installation/construction contracts, accrual of costs incurred for which claims/billings have yet to be received, estimated total contract revenue and contract costs as well as the recoverability of the carrying amount of contract work-in-progress. The total contract revenue also includes an estimation of variations that are recoverable from contract customers.

In making such estimations and judgements, the Group relies on, inter alia, past experiences and the assessment of its experienced project teams.

(iii) Profitrecognitionfrompropertydevelopments

The Group recognises property development revenue and costs in profit or loss using the stage of completion method. The stage of completion of properties sold is determined by reference to the proportion that property development costs incurred for work performed to-date bear to the estimated total property development costs.

Significant judgement is required in determining the stage of completion of the development activities, extent of property development costs incurred, estimated total property development revenue and costs as well as recoverability of the development projects.

In making such judgements, the Group relies on, inter alia, on past experiences and the assessment of its experienced project team.

2. Significant accounting policies The following are the significant accounting policies of the Group and of the Company which have been

consistently applied by the Group entities to the periods presented in these financial statements, unless otherwise stated.

(a) basis of consolidation (i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities, including structured 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 controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Potential voting rights are considered when assessing control only when such rights are substantive. The Group also 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.

Investments in subsidiaries are 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 investment includes transaction costs.

(ii) Business combinations

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 interests 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 (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and

liabilities assumed.

When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interests 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 accounts for 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 reserves.



2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(a) basis of consolidation (continued)

(iv) Acquisitions from entities under common controls

Business combinations arising from transfers of interests in entities that are under the control of the shareholder that controls the Group are accounted for as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or, if later, at the date that common control was established; for this purpose, comparatives are restated.

The assets and liabilities acquired are recognised at the carrying amounts recognised previously in the Group controlling shareholder’s consolidated financial statements. The components of equity of the acquired entities are added to the same components within Group equity and any resulting gain/loss is recognised directly in equity.

(v) Loss of control

Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the former 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 former 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.

(vi) Associates

Associates are entities, including unincorporated entities, in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are 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 associates, 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.

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 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 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 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 the investment includes transaction costs.

76 I WEIDA (M) BHD. (504747-W)



(a) basis of consolidation (continued)

(vii) Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the owners 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 profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the financial 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.

(viii) 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.

(b) Foreign currency

(i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at dates of transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of a reporting period (reporting date) are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rates at that date.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of the reporting period, except for those measured at fair values which 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 of currency risk, which are recognised in other comprehensive income.

In the consolidated financial statements, when settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur 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 foreign currency translation reserve (“FCTR”) in equity.




(b) Foreign currency (continued)

(ii) Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”)

The assets and liabilities of operations denominated in functional currencies other than RM, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to RM at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the FCTR 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, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the FCTR related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain 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 that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

(c) Financial instruments

(i) 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 or the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

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

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 the policy applicable to the nature of the host contract.

(ii) Financial instruments categories and subsequent measurement

The Group and the Company categorise financial instruments as follows:

Financial assets

(a) Financialassetsatfairvaluethroughprofitorloss

Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial assets that are held for trading, including derivatives (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument) or financial assets that are specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition.

Derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of unquoted equity instruments whose fair values cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost.

Other financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair values with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

78 I WEIDA (M) BHD. (504747-W)



(c) Financial instruments (continued)

(ii) Financial instruments categories and subsequent measurement (continued)

Financial assets (continued)

(b) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments category comprises debt instruments that are quoted in an active market and the Group or the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold them to maturity.

Financial assets categorised as held-to-maturity investments are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(c) 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.

(d) Available-for-salefinancialassets

Available-for-sale category comprises investment in equity and debt securities instruments that are not held for trading.

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-for-sale 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, except for those measured at fair value through profit or loss, are subject to review for impairment [see Note 2(m)(i)].

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities, are subsequently measured at amortised cost other than those categorised as fair value through profit or loss.

Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are derivatives (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument) or financial liabilities that are specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition.

Derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of equity instruments that do not have a quoted price in an active market for identical instruments whose fair values otherwise cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost.

Other financial liabilities categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair values with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.




(c) Financial instruments (continued)

(iii) 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 in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.

Fair values arising from financial guarantee contracts are classified as deferred income and is amortised to profit or loss using a straight-line method over the contractual period or, when there is no specified contractual period, recognised in profit or loss upon discharge of the guarantee. When settlement of a financial guarantee contract becomes probable, an estimate of the obligation is made. If the carrying value of the financial guarantee contract is lower than the obligation, the carrying value is adjusted to the obligation amount and accounted for as a provision.

(iv) Regularwaypurchaseorsaleoffinancialassets

A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.

A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using trade date accounting. Trade date accounting refers to:

(a) the recognition of an asset to be received and the liability to pay for it on the trade date; and

(b) the derecognition of an asset that is sold, the recognition of any gain or loss on disposal and the recognition of a receivable from the buyer for payment on the trade date.

(v) Derecognition

A financial asset or a part thereof is derecognised when, and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or control of the asset is not retained or substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred to another party. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

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

80 I WEIDA (M) BHD. (504747-W)



(d) property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost/valuation less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. The cost of self-constructed assets also includes the cost of materials and direct labour. For qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs.

Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

The cost of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination other than that involving a common control transaction is based on fair value at acquisition date.

When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment and is recognised net within “other income” or “other expenses” respectively in profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment under the revaluation model

The Group revalues its properties comprising freehold land, leasehold land (other than prepaid lease payments) and buildings using the open market value method every five (5) years and at shorter intervals whenever the fair value of the revalued assets is expected to differ materially from their carrying value. Any additions during the financial year of revaluation are stated at cost.

Surpluses arising from revaluation are dealt with in the revaluation reserve account. Any deficit arising is offset against the revaluation reserve to the extent of a previous increase for the same property. In all other cases, a decrease in carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation surplus reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

(ii) Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Group or the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognised to profit or loss. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.




(d) property, plant and equipment (continued)

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value, if any. Significant components of individual assets are assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, then that component is depreciated separately.

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment from the date that they are available for use. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land is not depreciated. Assets under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use.

The estimated useful lives of the assets for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Leasehold land over lease terms of 38 years to 98 years Buildings 5, 20 or 50 years Plant, machinery and moulds 3, 5 or 10 years Office equipment, furniture and fittings, equipment and tools 3, 5, 8 or 10 years Motor vehicles 5 years Electrical installation and renovation 5 or 10 years Site equipment 10 years Other infrastructure 20 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at the end of the reporting period.

(e) Leased assets

(i) Finance lease

Leases in terms of which the Group or the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, a leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset [see Note 2(d)].

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. 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.

Leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease is classified as property, plant and equipment.

(ii) Operating lease

Leases, where the Group or the Company does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases and the leased assets, other than prepaid lease payments, are not recognised on the statement of financial position.

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 lease payments.

(f) Intangible assets

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill arises on business combinations is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. In respect of equity-accounted associates and joint ventures, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment and an impairment loss on such an investment is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the equity-accounted associates and joint ventures.

(ii) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets, all with finite useful lives (see Note 9) are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The gain or loss on disposal of an item of intangible assets is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount thereof and is recognised net within “other income” or “other expenses” respectively in profit or loss.

(iii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised in the carrying amount of intangible assets if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the Group or the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. All other expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(iv) Amortisation

Goodwill with indefinite useful lives is not amortised but is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that it may be impaired.

Other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised from the date that they are available for use.

Amortisation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, except that in the case of the rights to share rental proceeds of telecommunication towers, it is based on the estimated share of rental proceeds in a reporting period over the total estimated share of rental proceeds over ten years.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Other intangible assets: - Rights to share rental proceeds of telecommunication towers 10 years - Rights to provide sewerage services, treatment and disposal of sludge 25 years

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate.

(g) Investment properties

Investment properties are properties which are owned or held under a leasehold interest to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administration purposes. This includes freehold land and leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease. Properties that are occupied by the companies in the Group are accounted for as owner-occupied rather than as investment properties.




(g) Investment properties (continued)

(i) Recognition and measurement

Investment properties, other than those comprising property interests held under an operating lease, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Investment properties comprising property interests held under an operating lease are stated at fair value.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The cost of self-constructed investment property includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment property to a working condition for its intended use and capitalised borrowing costs.

An investment property is derecognised on disposal, or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the item is derecognised.

(ii) Amortisation

Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of depreciable investment property. Buildings under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use. The estimated useful lives for the current period are as follows:

Leasehold land Over lease terms of 92 years Buildings 50 years

(iii) Reclassificationto/frominvestmentproperty

When an item of property, plant and equipment or inventories is transferred to investment property or vice versa following a change in its use, the transfer do not change the carrying amount of the property transferred. No remeasurement of cost of property is required, as permitted under paragraph 59 of FRS 140, Investment Property.

(h) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is 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.

(i) Developed properties held for sale

Cost of developed properties consists of costs associated with the acquisition of land, direct costs and appropriate proportions of common costs attributable to developing the properties to completion.

(ii) Other inventories

The cost of raw materials, consumables and construction materials are measured on the first-in first-out basis while that of manufactured/trading inventories, the weighted average costs basis.

The cost of inventories includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of work-in-progress and manufactured inventories, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

84 I WEIDA (M) BHD. (504747-W)



(i) property development costs

Property development costs comprise costs associated with the acquisition of land and all costs that are directly attributable to development activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities.

Property development costs not recognised as an expense are recognised as an asset and are stated at the lower of costs and net realisable value.

The excess of revenue recognised in profit or loss over billings to purchasers is shown as accrued billings under trade and other receivables while the excess of billings to purchasers over revenue recognised in profit or loss is shown as progress billings under trade and other payables.

(j) Construction work-in-progress

Construction work-in-progress represents the gross unbilled amount expected to be collected from customers for contract work performed to date. It is measured at cost plus profit recognised to date less progress billings and recognised losses. Cost includes all expenditures related directly to specific projects and an allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in the Group’s construction activities based on normal operating capacity.

Construction work-in-progress is presented as part of trade and other receivables as amount due from contract customers in the statement of financial position for all contracts in which costs incurred plus recognised profits exceed progress billings. If progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognised profits, then the difference is presented as part of trade and other payables as amount due to contract customers in the statements of financial position.

(k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in fair value with original maturities of three months or less and are used by the Group and the Company in the management of their short-term commitments. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits.

(l) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets, or disposal group comprising assets and liabilities that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, are classified as held for sale.

Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets, or disposal group, are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal.

Any impairment loss on a disposal group is first allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities on pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets, employee benefit assets and investment property, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment once classified as held for sale are not amortised or depreciated.




(m) Impairment

(i) Financial assets

All financial assets (except for financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss, investment in subsidiaries and investment in associate) are assessed at each reporting date 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. If any such objective evidence exists, then the financial asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss in respect of loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments 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.

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 losses previously recognised. Where a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised in the other comprehensive income, the cumulative loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

An impairment loss in respect of unquoted equity instrument that is carried at cost 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 current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.

An impairment loss recognised in profit or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale is not reversed through profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed, to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The amount of the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Other assets

The carrying amounts of other assets (except for inventories, amount due from contract customers, deferred tax assets and non-current assets held for sale) are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each period at the same time.

For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash-generating units. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purpose. The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

86 I WEIDA (M) BHD. (504747-W)



(m) Impairment (continued)

(ii) Other assets (continued)

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value-in-use and its fair value less costs of disposal. 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 or cash-generating unit.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or a group of cash-generating units) and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the cash-generating unit (or a group of cash-generating units) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the financial year in which the reversals are recognised.

(n) Equity instruments

Instruments classified as equity are measured at cost on initial recognition and are not remeasured subsequently.

(i) Issue expense

Costs directly attributable to the issue of instruments classified as equity are recognised as a deduction from equity.

(ii) Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

(iii) Repurchase, disposal and reissue of share capital (treasury shares)

When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares that are not subsequently cancelled are classified as treasury shares in the statement of changes in equity.

When treasury shares are distributed as share dividends, the cost of the treasury shares is applied in the reduction of the share premium account or distributable reserves, or both.

Where treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the differences between the sales consideration net of directly attributable costs and the carrying amount of the treasury shares is recognised in equity and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented in share premium.




(n) Equity instruments (continued)

(iv) Distributions of assets to owners of the Company

The Group measures a liability to distribute assets as a dividend to the owners of the Company at the fair value of the assets to be distributed. The carrying amount of the dividend is remeasured at each reporting period and at the settlement date, with any changes recognised directly in equity as adjustments to the amount of the distribution. On settlement of the transaction, the Group recognises the difference, if any, between the carrying amount of the assets distributed and the carrying amount of the liability in profit or loss.

(o) Employee benefits

(i) Short-termemployeebenefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries and annual bonuses are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(ii) State plans

The Group’s contributions to statutory pension funds are charged to profit or loss in the financial year to which they relate. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

(p) revenue and other income

(i) Goods sold

Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances and trade discounts. Revenue is recognised when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognised as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognised.

(ii) Construction contract

Contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. As soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract cost are recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract expenses are recognised as incurred unless they create an asset related to future contract activity.

The stage of completion is assessed by reference to the physical proportion of the contract work completed for telecommunication towers construction contracts and survey of work performed for installation and construction of wastewater and water treatment specialised system contracts.

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a contract is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

88 I WEIDA (M) BHD. (504747-W)



(p) revenue and other income (continued)

(iii) Property development

Revenue from property development activities is recognised based on the stage of completion of properties sold measured by reference to the proportion that property development costs incurred for work performed to-date bear to the estimated total property development costs.

Where the financial outcome of a property development activity cannot be reliably estimated, property development revenue is recognised only to the extent of property development costs incurred that is probable to be recoverable, and property development costs on the development units sold are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Any expected loss on a development project is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

(iv) Services rendered

Revenue from the provision of sludge treatment and disposal service is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues, based on rates agreed with customers.

(v) Stone extraction

Revenue from the provision of stone extraction is recognised in profit or loss based on the quantity of stone extracted at agreed rates.

(vi) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s or the Company’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date.

(vii) Management fee

Management fee is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues at contracted rates.

(viii) Share of rental proceeds

Share of rental proceeds with a network facility provider licence holder from the leasing of telecommunication towers is recognised in profit or loss based on pre-determined ratios over the term of the lease (see also Note 9.1).

(ix) Rental income

Rental income from letting/hiring of assets is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(x) Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues using the effective interest method except for interest income arising from temporary investment of borrowings taken specifically for the purpose of financing a qualifying asset which is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs.




(q) borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets.

The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or completed.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

(r) 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 financial years.

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 temporary differences arising from 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 differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are reduced by the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

(s) Earnings per ordinary share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its ordinary shares.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held.

Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

90 I WEIDA (M) BHD. (504747-W)



(t) operating segments

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

(u) Fair value measurements

Fair value of an asset or a liability, except for share-based payment and lease transactions, is determined as 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 measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement 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.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers.

3.1 Property, plant and equipment under the revaluation model

The Group revalued its freehold land, leasehold land and buildings in January 2015. The revaluation was performed by independent professional valuers using the comparison method. Consequently, a revaluation surplus was recognised in other comprehensive income as follows:

Group rM

Gross revaluation reserve 18,502,915 Less: Deferred taxation (2,768,702)

15,734,213

Had the land and buildings been carried under the cost model, their carrying amounts, net of any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses where applicable, that would have been included in the financial statements at the end of the financial year are as follows:

Group 2018 2017 rM rM

3.2 Security

Included in the land and buildings of the Group are carrying amounts of RM3,573,589 and RM6,942,765 respectively (2017: Nil), which the titles have been pledged as securities for banking facilities granted to subsidiaries. In addition, assets under finance lease are charged to secure the finance lease liabilities of the Group and the Company (see Note 20.2).

3.3 Allocation of depreciation

Depreciation for the financial year is allocated as follows:

Group Company 2018 2017 2018 2017 rM rM rM rM

Recognised in profit or loss (Note 23) 8,470,928 8,801,493 300,938 404,347 Capitalised in contract costs (Note 10.2) 56,222 - - -

3.4 Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment

During the financial year under review, the Group has estimated whether the property, plant and equipment are stated in excess of their recoverable amounts. The Group has evaluated the carrying amounts of the property, plant and equipment by estimating their recoverable amounts using the value in use calculation of the cash-generating units.

Following the assessment, no impairment loss was required as the estimated recoverable amounts are higher than their carrying amounts.

During the year, the Company subscribed for redeemable preference shares of its subsidiaries amounted to RM190 million, which was satisfied by offsetting the outstanding balances owing to the Company.

In the previous financial years, the Company recognised impairment losses of RM717,869 based on the estimated recoverable amounts of the investment in subsidiaries. The recoverable amounts are estimated based on the fair value less costs of disposal with reference to the net tangible assets of the subsidiaries. In the current financial year under review, the Company reassessed on similar bases and concluded no further impairment to the investment in subsidiaries.

9.1 Other intangible assets comprise:

• Rights to share rental proceeds of telecommunication towers

This arose from the construction of telecommunication towers for a network facility provider licence holder (“NFPLH”) in prior years. As payment consideration for the construction works carried out, the NFPLH and the Group share the rental proceeds from the leasing of the telecommunication towers based on a pre-determined ratios for a period of ten years commencing from the month when the rental proceeds were first received.

• Rights to provide sewerage services, treatment and disposal of the sludge

This arose from the concession granted to a subsidiary of the Group, which is engaged in the treatment and disposal of sludge from septic tanks on a 25 years contract.

9.2 Impairment testing of rights to share rental proceeds of telecommunication towers

The recoverable amount of the rights to share rental proceeds of telecommunication towers is estimated using value-in-use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on the cash flows expected from the continuing use of the intangible asset. The value-in-use calculations were based on the following key assumptions:

a) Cash flows are projected based on the existing rental of towers payable by telecommunication service providers based on available information.

b) The projections are for the ten-year tenure of the License Agreement entered into with the licensed telecommunication service providers.

c) Pre-tax discount rate used to discount the projected cash flows is 10.00% (2017: 10.00%) per annum, determined by reference to the weighted average cost of capital of the Group.

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the industry and are based on historical data from both external sources and internal sources.

9.3 Impairment testing of rights to provide sewerage services, treatment and disposal of sludge

The recoverable amounts of the rights to provide sewerage services, treatment and disposal of sludge was estimated using value-in-use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on the financial budgets approved by management and cash flows expected from the continuing use of the intangible asset. The value-in-use calculations were based on the following key assumptions:

a) Services rendered are projected to remain at the same level as 2018. The rate of service charges will be revised upwards by 10.00% once every five years in accordance with the service contracts.

b) Expenses are projected to increase at 3.00% (2017: 3.00%) per annum.

c) The projections are for five financial years from 2019 to 2023 (2017: 2018 to 2022).

d) Pre-tax discount rate used to discount the projected cash flows is 10.00% (2017: 10.00%) per annum, determined by reference to the weighted average cost of capital of the Group.

e) Collections from trade receivables and settlement of trade payables will be made in accordance with the current credit arrangements and policies.

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in

the industry and are based on historical data from both external sources and internal sources.

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

The above estimates are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in the rate of service charges and operational costs. With a 5% and 10% variations in the projected service charges and operational costs respectively, the projections show that the recoverable amount of intangible asset would still exceed the carrying amount.

10.4 The main collectability risk of trade receivables is insolvencies of the counterparties. Management determines allowance for impairment loss on doubtful receivables based on an on-going review and evaluation performed as part of its credit risk evaluation process. These include assessment of customers’ past payment records, financial standing and the age of receivables. The evaluation is however inherently judgemental and requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received, which may be susceptible to significant changes.

30. operating segments

The Group has four reporting segments, which are the Group’s strategic business units. For each of the strategic business units, the Group Executive Chairman, being the Chief Operating Decision Maker, reviews internal management reports for resource allocation and decision making at least on a quarterly basis.

The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group’s existing reporting segments:

(a) Manufacturing- Manufacture and sale of HDPE products and trading of other specialised and technical

engineering products

(b) Works- Construction of telecommunication towers and share of rental proceeds of telecommunication

towers as well as design, construction and installation of water supply, storage infrastructure and treatment systems, wastewater treatment specialised systems, hydro systems and other infrastructure which include undertake infrastructure and building projects based on private financing initiative under the build, lease, maintain and transfer model

(c) Property development- Development and construction of residential properties

(d) Others- Sewerage treatment services, treatment and disposal of sludge services as well as quarry

operation



30. operating segments (continued)

There are varying levels of integration between the reportable segments. Inter-segment pricing is determined on negotiated terms.

Performance is measured based on segment profit before tax as included in the internal management

reports. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.

Segment assets and liabilities

The Group Executive Chairman reviews the statements of financial position of subsidiaries for decision making and resources allocation, instead of a summary of total consolidated assets and liabilities by segments. As such, information on segment assets and segment liabilities is not presented.

31.3 Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk from its use of financial instruments.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from its receivables from customers. A significant portion of these receivables are regular customers of the Group. In addition, the Company is also exposed to credit risk arising from loans and advances to subsidiaries and financial guarantees given to banks for credit facilities granted to subsidiaries.

receivables

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

• Receivablesfromexternalparties

The Group has a formal credit policy in place mandating the credit worthiness of customers requiring credit on sales of goods and services rendered to be reviewed to ensure the exposure to credit risk is controlled and monitored on an on-going basis by setting appropriate credit limits and terms. For construction projects, credit evaluation on potential customers or clients is carried out prior to tendering. These include assessment of customers’ past payment records, sales level and financial standing.

Credit risks from certain customers are further mitigated by issuance of irrevocable letters of instruction/mandate by the customers to the banks to authorise the banks to remit payments directly to the Group.

• Inter-companybalances

The Company sometimes provides unsecured loans and advances to its subsidiaries. The Company monitors the performance of the subsidiaries regularly.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral

As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from receivables is represented by their carrying amounts in the statements of financial position. Cash and cash equivalents are only placed with licensed banks.

Management has taken reasonable steps to ensure that receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are stated at their realisable values. The Group monitors individually, using ageing analysis, all receivables having significant balances past due for more than 120 days, which are deemed to have higher credit risk.

33,061,377 36,032,022 28,947,853 193,842,766

The trade receivable due from a contract customer is secured by an irrevocable letter of instruction/mandate issued by the contract customer given to the bank to authorise the bank to remit payments directly to the Group.

The exposure of credit risk for receivables as at the end of the reporting period by geographic

region was:

Total 96,019,867 104,581,589 6,700 17,318

There is no impairment loss recognised for trade receivables other than an amount of RM4,734,075 (2017: RM4,184,676) as at the end of the reporting period as management does not expect any external counterparties to fail to meet their obligations due to the strong credit standings of the counterparties.

The movements in the allowance for impairment loss of receivables during the financial year were:

At 1 April 2016 4,606,958

Recognised 80,687 Reversals (412,724) Write-offs (90,245)

Recognised 840,508 Reversals (89,481) Write-offs (201,628)

At 31 March 2018 4,734,075

An allowance account in respect of receivables is used to record impairment losses. Unless the Group is satisfied that recovery is possible, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against the allowance directly.

136 I WEIDA (M) BHD. (504747-W)






Impairment losses (continued)

There was no indication that the loans and advances due from its subsidiaries are not recoverable as at the end of the reporting period other than that against which an allowance for impairment loss of RM2,696,862 (2017: RM2,708,480) has been made (see Note 10).

Financial guarantees


The Company provides unsecured financial guarantees to banks in respect of certain banking facilities granted to some of its subsidiaries. The Company monitors on an on-going basis the results of the subsidiaries and repayments made thereby to ensure that they are able to meet their obligations when fall due.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral

The bank guarantees utilised by third parties for performance of projects as at the end of the reporting period are summarised as follows:


Bank guarantees utilised by third parties for performance of projects 13,769,837 4,851,967

The financial guarantees utilised by the subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period are summarised as follows:


Loans and borrowings outstanding and recognised in financial statements 40,544,000 55,409,000 Other banking facilities not recognised in financial statements 21,573,000 11,627,000

Total 62,117,000 67,036,000

As at the end of the reporting period, there is no indication that any subsidiary and third parties would default on repayments of its loans and borrowings and performance of projects. The financial guarantees have not been recognised as their fair value on initial recognition was not material and probability of the subsidiaries and third parties defaulting on the credit lines is remote.





(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises principally from its various payables, loans and borrowings.


The Group maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents and banking facilities deemed adequate by the management to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when fall due.

It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis in the ensuing pages could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts.

(c) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and other price risks that will affect the Group’s financial position or cash flows.

(i) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk arising mainly from sales and purchases denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of group entities. The major currencies giving rise to this risk are mostly United States Dollar (USD), Euro (EURO) and Australian Dollar (AUD).


As it is not possible to predict with any certainty the movements of foreign exchange rates, this risk is managed on an on-going and case by case basis and the Group occasionally uses forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge its foreign currency risk. Most of the forward foreign exchange contracts have maturities of less than one year after the end of the reporting period. Where necessary, the forward foreign exchange contracts (see Note 16) are rolled over at maturity.

(c) Market risk (continued)

(i) Currency risk (continued)

Exposure to foreign currency risk

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk attributable to currencies which are other than the functional currencies of group entities, based on the carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period was:

2018 2017 Denominated Denominated Group in uSD in uSD

In RM: Cash and cash equivalents 97,376 851,959 Trade and other payables (4,874,345) (4,049,141) Derivative financial liabilities (120,508) (40,119)

Net exposure in statements of financial position (4,897,477) (3,237,301)

The Company does not have significant outstanding assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than its functional currency, RM.

Currency risk sensitivity analysis

The functional currencies of the foreign operations of the Group are Brunei Dollar and Philippines Peso. The exposure to currency risk of group entities which have Brunei Dollar and Philippines Peso as functional currencies is not material and hence, sensitivity analysis is not presented.

A 10% (2017: 10%) strengthening of the RM against the following currencies at the end of the reporting period would have increased/(decreased) pre-tax profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

Profit or loss 2018 2017 Group rM rM

USD 489,748 323,730

A 10% (2017: 10%) weakening of RM against the above currencies at the end of the reporting period would have had equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remained constant.






(ii) Interest rate risk

The Group’s investments in fixed rate debt securities and its fixed rate loans and borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes in interest rates. The Group’s variable rate loans and borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. Investments in equity securities and short-term receivables and payables are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.


The Group finances its daily operations through a mixture of internally generated funds and bank borrowings. Loans and borrowings with floating interest rates expose the Group to certain elements of risk when there are unexpected adverse interest rate movements. The Group’s policy is to manage its interest rate risk, working within an agreed framework, to ensure that there are no undue exposures thereto. Management monitors this on an on-going basis and exercises a certain element of discretion on whether to borrow at fixed or floating interest rates, depending on the market situation and the outlook of the financial market prevailing then.

The investments in interest-earning assets are mainly short-term in nature and they are not held for speculative purpose but have been mostly placed as term deposits and cash funds.

Exposure to interest rate risk

The interest rate profile of the Group and of the Company’s significant interest-bearing financial instruments, based on the carrying amounts at the end of the reporting period was:


Fixed rate instruments Financial assets 85,017,236 83,461,133 11,657,042 12,153,825 Financial liabilities (28,611,462) (28,726,026) (192,827) (295,417)

Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis

(a) Fairvaluesensitivityanalysisforfixedrateinstruments

The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the Group does not designate derivatives as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would not affect profit or loss.

(b) Cashflowsensitivityanalysisforvariablerateinstruments

A change of 100 basis points (“bps”) in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would have increased/ (decreased) pre-tax profit by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

Profit or loss 100 bp 100 bp increase decrease rM rM

Group Floating rate instruments - 2018 (213,000) 213,000 - 2017 (432,000) 432,000

Company Floating rate instruments - 2018 (13,600) 13,600 - 2017 1,816,000 (1,816,000)

(iii) Other price risk

Equity price risk arises from the Group’s investments in equity securities.


Management of the Group monitors the equity investments on a portfolio basis. Material investments within the portfolio are managed on individual basis and all buy and sell decisions are approved by management.

Equity price risk sensitivity analysis

The exposure to equity price risk is not material and hence, sensitivity analysis is not presented.

31.4 Fair value information

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

The carrying amounts of non-current receivables as well as non-current loans and borrowings, which bear interest at rates approximating the prevailing market rates, also approximate fair value as disclosed in the ensuing pages.

policy on transfer between levels

The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

Level 1 fair value

Level 1 fair value is derived from quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 fair value

Level 2 fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the financial assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

Derivatives

The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds).

Non-derivative financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the end of the reporting period.

Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair values

There has been no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 fair values during the financial year (2017: No transfers in either directions).

Level 3 fair value Level 3 fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs for the financial assets and financial liabilities.

33. Capital management

As in the previous financial year, the Group’s objectives when managing capital is to maintain a strong capital base and safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so as to maintain the confidence of investors, creditors and other stakeholders in the Group and to sustain the future development of its business. The Directors determine, monitor and maintain an optimal debt-to-equity ratio for the Group that complies with debt covenants and regulatory requirements.

One of its capital management strategies is to maintain a maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 1.5 times to comply with the covenants of its unsecured term loans, failing which the affected facilities and borrowings are subject to recall (see Note 20.2).

Under the requirement of Bursa Malaysia Practice Note No. 17/2005, the Company is required to maintain a consolidated shareholders’ equity equal to or not less than 25% of the issued and paid-up capitals (excluding treasury shares) and such shareholders’ equity is not less than RM40,000,000.

35. Material litigation

On 23 May 2017, Weida Works Sdn. Bhd. (“Weida Works”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Weida (M) Bhd. (“the Company”), had issued a Notice of Arbitration against Common Tower Technology Sdn. Bhd. (“CTT”) and filed with the Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration (KLRCA) and commenced arbitration proceedings against CTT for inter alia:

a) breach of the joint venture agreement (“JVA”) entered into between the parties dated 22 June 2005 by CTT in not paying Weida Works its entitled share of all license income from the new operators amounting to RM23,435,000 which represents Weida Works’ share of the same;

b) an account of all undeclared license income received from the new operators; and

c) breach of CTT’s fiduciary duty to Weida Works under the JVA entered into between the parties dated 22 June 2005 and the first supplementary JVA dated 23 March 2006 (“Telco JVA”) causing inter alia loss of business opportunities pursuant to a license agreement entered into between CTT and the original operators as well as damages (including aggravated and exemplary damages), interest, and costs.

Weida Works and CTT had executed the Telco JVA to undertake the telecommunication infrastructure projects in Sabah (“Projects”). Under the Telco JVA, Weida Works was to fund and build telecommunication towers in Sabah while CTT would secure the tower sites and to license these towers to mobile telecommunication operators for licence fees, to which CTT shall then share such licence fees income received from both the original operators and new operators with Weida Works at an agreed ratio.



35. Material litigation (continued)

Weida Works had filed its points of claim on 3 January 2018 and CTT had filed its reply to the points of claim and counterclaim (“Counterclaim”) on 5 March 2018. The Counterclaim seeks declaratory orders that the Telco JVA is not binding and/or void in law and/or seeks a refund of all monies received from CTT save for telecommunication towers construction costs as well as to pay RM131,842,529 being wrongful interest imposed by Weida Works, with pre-award and post- arbitration award interest and costs. This is despite CTT obtaining the full benefits of the Telco JVA since its inception in 2005 to date. Weida Works’s response is that CTT’s alleged “wrongful interest” is in fact Weida Works’s share of licence fees pursuant to the Telco JVA and was treated as “interest” in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards at that material time. The same manner has been practiced since 2006 without any objection.

On 30 April 2018, Weida Works had filed and serviced its reply to CTT’s defence and defence to Counterclaim as well as change of hearing dates. The arbitration has been fixed for hearing between 3 October 2018 to 9 November 2018. On 18 June 2018, CTT had filed and serviced its reply to the defence and to Counterclaim.

As advised by Weida Works’s solicitors, the Company is of the view that the Counterclaim is not supported with valid grounds and has no legal basis for its allegations in its reply and counterclaim. On the contrary, the Company is of the view that Weida Works has a legal basis for this arbitration of which Weida Works is inter alia claiming against CTT for losses suffered by Weida Works in consequence of CTT’s breach of terms of Telco JVA in not paying Weida Works its entitled share of all license fees from new operators using Weida Works’s built towers for RM23,435,000 which represents Weida Works approximate share of the same and/or in breach of CTT’s fiduciary duty towards Weida Works under the Telco JVA.

The counter claim and the arbitration proceedings are not expected to have any material financial and operational impact to the Company. The Company does not expect any losses to arise by reason of the commencement of the said arbitration proceeding other than legal cost and time in defending Weida Works’s claim and CTT’s Counterclaim.

36. Significant event during the financial year

On 29 January 2018, the Board of Directors (“the Board”) had announced that it has received a letter from Weida Management Sdn. Bhd (“WMSB”)., a major shareholder of the Company, requesting the Company to undertake the Proposed Selective Capital Reduction and Repayment Exercise pursuant to Section 116 of the Companies Act 2016 (“Proposed SCR”).

The Proposed SCR involves the Company undertaking a selective capital reduction and a corresponding capital repayment pursuant to Section 116 of the Companies Act 2016 in respect of the ordinary shares of the Company (“Weida Shares”) held by all shareholders of the Company (save for Dato’ Lee Choon Chin (“Ultimate Offeror”), WMSB (“Offeror”) and persons acting in concert with Ultimate Offeror and Offeror in relation to the Proposed SCR, collectively as “Non-Entitled Shareholders”) whose names appear in the Record of Depositors of Weida as at the close of business on an entitlement date to be determined at a later date (“Entitlement Date”).

Under the Proposed SCR, the entitled shareholders are shareholders of the Company (other than Non-Entitled Shareholders), collectively holding 84,653,340 ordinary shares of the Company (“Weida Shares”), representing approximately 66.71% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding 6,439,100 treasury shares held by the Company) and will receive a total of RM203,168,016 or RM2.40 cash for each Weida Share.

On 9 March 2018, RHB Investment Bank Berhad on behalf of the Board, announced that the Board, save for the Interested Directors, had deliberated on the contents of the SCR Offer Letter and had resolved to table the Proposed SCR to the shareholders of the Company for their consideration and approval.

On 13 March 2018, RHB Investment Bank Berhad on behalf of the Board, announced that the application in relation to the Proposed SCR had been submitted to the Securities Commission Malaysia (“SC”) pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) of Schedule 3 of the Rules on Take-overs, Mergers and Compulsory Acquisitions.

On 12 April 2018, RHB Investment Bank Berhad on behalf of the Board, announced that the SC had vide its letter, dated 12 April 2018, approved the extension of time to despatch the circular of the Proposed SCR by 30 April 2018 or until such time that the SC has notified that it has no further comments on the circular of the Proposed SCR.

Explanatory notes

(a) This agenda item is meant for discussion only and therefore, it will not be put forward for voting.

(b) Ordinary resolutions in relation to the re-election of independent directors (proposed resolutions no. 3 and 4)

The Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors have assessed the independence of YBhg. Dato’ Jamelah binti Jamaluddin and Mr. Liew Jee Min @ Chong Jee Min and recommended them to be re-elected as the Directors of the Company.

(c) OrdinaryresolutioninrelationtocontinuationinofficeasIndependentDirectorpursuanttoPractice4.2oftheMalaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2017

The proposed Resolution No. 6 is to seek shareholders’ approval to retain Mr. Yeoh Chin Hoe, whose tenure as Independent Director of the Company has exceeded tenure limit of nine (9) years. The Board of Directors (“Board”) and the Nominating Committee have assessed him and thereby recommended that he continues in office as an Independent Director of the Company based on the following justifications:

i) his experience, networking, understanding of business and objectivity in approach enables him to provide the Board and Board Committees with pertinent expertise, skills and competence and his independence judgement will continue to add credence to the Company;

ii) he remains professionally independent and vocal, actively participated in deliberations and exercised independent judgement at Board and Board Committee meetings without being influenced by operational consideration; and

iii) he acts in the best interests of all shareholders and his continuation in office as Independent Director will provide a check and balance to operational management.

(d) Ordinary resolution on authority to issue shares pursuant to Section 76 of the Companies Act 2016

The proposed Resolution No. 7 will give powers to the Directors to issue up to a maximum ten per centum (10%) of the total number of issued shares of the Company for the time being for such purposes as the Directors would consider in the best interest of the Company. This authority, unless revoked or varied by the Company at a general meeting, will expire at the next annual general meeting of the Company.

The general mandate sought for issue of shares is a renewal of the mandate that was approved by the shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 22 August 2017 (“AGM 2017”). The Company did not utilise the mandate that was approved at the AGM 2017.

The general mandate is to provide flexibility to the Company to issue new shares without the need to convene separate general meeting to obtain its shareholders’ approval so as to avoid incurring additional cost and time.

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

(e) Ordinary resolution in relation to proposed renewal of authority for purchase of own shares by the Company

The proposed Resolution No. 8, if passed, will renew the authority for the Company to purchase and/or hold up to ten per cent (10%) of the total number of issued shares of the Company through Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. This authority will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting, unless revoked or varied by ordinary resolution passed by shareholders at general meeting.

Please refer to the Statement to Shareholders dated 31 July 2018 for further information.
