Supply Chain Management
Collaborating with our key suppliers is integral to manage our supply chain and promote good sourcing practices. Our
actions also assist in fostering meaningful long-term relationships with our business partners. Therefore, we place great
importance on our procurement practices and supply chain management.
Our Purchasing Policy, Legal Policy and Approval Authorisation Policy guide procurement practices. We support fair bidding
practices, and have a firm policy on gifts, inducements and rewards. Suppliers are also screened through a set of criteria,
which includes quality of goods, going concern, and availability of certifications, including AS9100, the quality management
standard for the Aerospace industry.
Our position in the supply chain allows us to encourage and assist suppliers in earning and maintaining their certifications.
Some of our main procurement initiatives include requiring suppliers to perform self-assessments against the Vendor Audit
Program, as well as auditing our suppliers. During these audits, suppliers are required to upkeep a minimum score.
Our Aerospace segment has developed 3 major local Aerospace suppliers specialised in the machining of 5 axis complex
parts and hard metal, which must be AS9100 certified. We have continued to provide skills development training to potential
suppliers to meet and achieve the standard we require for total productivity.
The on-going commitment to develop a stable domestic supply chain network is part of the Company’s initiative to contribute
towards nation building in skill enhancement of industry expertise.
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
We take great care in managing our impact on the environment. We are continuously working to improve our understanding
of how our activities affect the environment both directly and indirectly, by actively protecting the environment by embracing
greener and more eco-friendly practices to reduce as much as possible our environmental footprint.
We recognise that our main impact areas are associated with the waste generated by our operations – both hazardous and
non-hazardous, as well as our energy consumption. In the following sections we outline the approach we adopt to address
these issues, guided by our aspiration to operate sustainably and live harmoniously with nature.
Waste and Hazardous Material Management
Our manufacturing processes generate hazardous materials which are classified as Scheduled Waste under the Environmental
Quality Act 1974 in Malaysia or listed as Controlled Hazardous Substance under The Environmental Protection and
Management (Hazardous Substances) Regulations in Singapore. The hazardous waste arising from our operations includes
dust, glass beads, sludge, waste oil, spent hydraulic oil, coolant, mix solvent, contaminated resins, contaminated containers,
contaminated rags, waste paint, and spent activated carbon. All of the waste chemical produced during manufacturing are
processed by our waste water treatment plant or recycled through licensed recycling companies in Malaysia in accordance
with scheduled wasted regulatory requirements. During the financial year, we have extended our waste water treatment
plant to ensure sufficient capacity to convert all waste chemical into an effluent that can be returned to the water cycle with
minimum impact on the environment.

Reducing Wooden Crates & Pallets
We have continued to replace the conventional wooden crates and pallets with recyclable corrugated boxes for finished
goods packing purposes. The boxes are configured to 1 piece packing and 2 pieces packing, estimated at about 600 to 700
tri-wall boxes per annum.
Reducing Carbon Emissions

We have continued to propagate the use of battery operated forklifts to replace conventional fuel for forklifts in our sites
which produce zero emissions during operation and reduce noise pollution in our workplace. During the financial year, we
replaced one unit of conventional fuel forklifts with a battery operated forklift. A total of 5 conventional forklifts have been
replaced so far.
Energy Management
Due to the nature of our operation, energy consumption is a major sustainability issue that we are keen on addressing in a
comprehensive way. We acknowledge that tackling this issue is important not only to our financial bottom line through the
increased efficiency, but also vital as the resulting carbon emissions contribute negatively to the environment contributing
to climate change.
Our operations consume energy in various forms. While we understand that fuel, steam, heating and cooling are all part of
our total energy use, currently we are only monitoring our electricity consumption.

OUR PEOPLE
We value our workforce as their talent and dedication contribute towards the success of SAM. Therefore, we uphold our
commitment to them to provide a safe and healthy workplace that promotes their career development, provides equal
opportunities and supports their welfare necessities by developing their talents to unlock greater value.
Labour Practices
We strictly uphold human rights and respect the rights of all our employees. This includes the following, but is not limited
to: no forced labour, no unfair discrimination, promoting a safe and healthy workplace, no child labour, adherence to the
minimum wage and freedom of speech. This is reflected in our labour practices, which meet relevant laws and regulations,
including the respective Employment Acts of Malaysia and Singapore.
Furthermore, our Singaporean operations are signatory to the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices
(“TAFEP”). TAFEP is co-chaired by members of the Singapore National Employers Federation (“SNEF”) and National Trades
Union Congress (“NTUC”), and consists of employer representatives, union leaders and government officials. The aim of the
alliance is to promote the adoption of fair and responsible employment practices.
029
Raising awareness
Internal policies which govern our practices are our Employment Policy, Leave Policy, Grievance Policy, and Salaries Policy.
Our labour practices are communicated in employment contracts and via trainings and briefings, including our Misconduct
Briefing and New Hire Orientation. In addition, we have internal grievance channels for our employees, as shown below:
communications@sam-malaysia.com Employees may provide feedback or report on cases observed through this
channel. Communications received through this channel is managed by the
Human Resource (HR) Department.
Foreign workforce
We employ 100 foreigners in our workforce, especially in unskilled labour roles. We make certain that our employees are
hired in line with relevant laws and regulations, via a structured recruitment process conducted by our Human Resource
department. In addition, we have gone on board the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) with emphasis on treating migrant
workers with respect and dignity. We provide the workforce with benefits to support their employment experience with us.
This includes bearing annual levy fees required by local governments, providing free housing, medical allowance and food
allowance for our canteens.
Diversity and Inclusion
This year, we saw a slight improvement in the ratio of women by about 1% (from 17% to 18%). However, at the management
level, we show much greater gender diversity in that about 29% of our Managers are women. The total number of contract
workers has reduced by 10% (from 18% to 8%) from the last financial year. Employees below 30 years of age remain the
same at 45%. It is a common pattern for the heavy machinery equipment manufacturing industry to have a predominantly
male workforce, and this applies to the Group. Nonetheless, this does not reflect a culture of bias or discrimination at the
Group. We promote a diverse workforce, and ensure that our people are hired and rewarded based on merit and talent. This
is reinforced by our Employment Policy and Salaries Policy. Below, we highlight our employment statistics.
Employees by gender FY2018 FY2019

Employee Learning & Development
As the business grows, we want our employees to grow with us. Thus, we develop our employees’ skills and knowledge for
effective performance, to respond to our client’s needs, and to meet our employees’ career development goals. Year on year,
we invest in our employees’ learning and development, and continuously review our programmes to ensure our training and
development efforts are relevant and of high quality.
Training and career development with SAM
Internal policies and programmes which guide our direction include our Training Policy and Succession Planning Programme.
In line with the abovementioned, we perform our Training Needs Analysis annually. This analysis aims to identify gaps
between current employee training programmes and external factors, such as industry and regulatory changes, employees’
expectations, latest technology, etc.
During the financial year, we had incurred a total of RM1,082,579 in technical and soft skill trainings to ensure our employees
are equipped with the latest knowledge and adequate skillset for their job scope.
Annual Training Expenditure by Country FY2019

Malaysia 866,008

Our employees are offered various types of training to ensure career development. Our trainings include structured on-the-
job training (“OJT”), quality, safety and team building activities.
Structured OJT is a highly technical and specific training programme targeted at employees with a more technical scope
of work. Employees are briefed by external trainers on the application of new machinery and technology utilized at SAM.
Furthermore, training on Quality is rolled out annually to educate and refresh employees on our quality management systems
and stringent internal processes. Soft skills and team trainings are also provided to brief employees on leadership qualities,
stress management, and team management. Further information on our safety trainings are discussed below.

Employee Well-being, Health and Safety
Workplace safety is our first priority. We continuously endeavour to provide a safe working environment to all employees and
contractors through rigorous internal processes and procedures, and instilling awareness of a safe work culture. Alongside
safe work practices, we provide for our employees’ welfare and benefits to support them.
Health and safety
Our Occupational Safety & Health Policy underlines our safety commitments, which guide the safety culture and practices at
the workplace. In addition to our policy, our Group Environmental Safety & Health (“ESH”) Committee provides leadership.
Key roles and responsibilities of ESH Committee include:
• Assisting in the development of safety & health rules and system of work;
• Reviewing the effectiveness of safety & health programmes;
• Carrying out studies on accident trends, incidents and diseases;
• Meeting bi-monthly to review regulatory and license compliance monitoring programmes; and
• Reviewing safety & health policies, and providing recommendations for any revision.
With systematic reporting lines in place, we monitor and review our safety performance indicators internally and report the
indicators to the relevant authorities in the countries where we operate. In FY2019, there have not been any incidents of
fatalities.
Health and safety programmes and training
Extensive measures are in place to promote safety awareness and to brief employees on preventive measures and response
actions. The initiatives carried out at each site are reviewed during scheduled EHS meetings respectively, and are aligned to
regulatory requirements in Malaysia and Singapore. Our operations are assessed by external regulators, which includes the
Chemicals Health Risk Assessment (“CHRA”).
We provide safety briefings to all employees in our Employee Orientation Programme. In addition, specific safety trainings
and programmes are rolled out to targeted employees with certain scopes of work. These include a first aider course for
site safety officers, employees who perform signalling overhead crane operations, employees who operate forklifts and
employees who handle chemicals. Employees who work in factories are provided an average of 15 hours of training a year.
Below, we highlight some of our key training activities during the year.
• Roles & Responsibilities of EHS Committee & Supervisors /Acc. Investigation & reporting
• SAM - Annual EHS - Contractors & Sub. Contractors training
• LEAD Awareness
• Hearing Conservation Program
• Safe Storage, Handling & Use of Compressed Gases

emergency evacuation drills are conducted regularly, and emergency communication flows are established with the
nearest hospitals. Our factory employees also undergo our annual medical surveillance programme. As such, our safety
practices are consistently reviewed and reported, as we commit ourselves to upholding a safe and healthy workplace.
Employee well being
Each year, we review our benefit schemes and employee

engagement initiatives to better meet our employees’
needs. Some of our employee welfare provisions include
medical and life insurance coverage for all employees,
transport allowances, parental leave and special gifts for
pivotal life events, like marriage and the birth of a child.
Additionally, one of our gestures of appreciation to our
employees, is our provision of Long Service Awards to our
long serving employees. In FY2019, 80 employees received
this award.
Movie Day
Our SAM Sports & Recreation Committee organises annual
activities for employees to encourage a balanced lifestyle
and social time with colleagues. This year, we hosted
activities such as badminton and futsal matches, a movie
day and a bowling competition. On a grander scale, a Year
End Appreciation lunch and other festive lunches were also
organised. Additionally, we also held health and safety talks

uniforms and shoes.
To date, we have sponsored approximately 967 students,

amounting to RM668,068 since the initiation of the
sponsorship programme in 2011. As for the PSDC students
going through the Malaysian Skills Certification System, we
have sponsored 21 students and a total of RM201,530 thus
far.
Malaysian Skills Certification System FY2017 FY2018 FY2019

No. of new students 3 14 2
Total no. of students still in programme 5 18 14
Total sponsorship amount (RM) 13,500 116,720 65,910
Workforce Training and Development
Our training and development programmes are integral to our commitment to support our employees realise their full
potential and progress their career capabilities.
Internships
In FY2019, we also hired a total of 226 interns under the Group.
Hiring of Interns FY2018 FY2019

Total Interns hired 227 226
Total Permanent staff hired who were formerly interning with SAM 33 44
The strategic objectives for the internship recruitment are as follows:
• To increase awareness of our brand in the market.

• To provide both the company and candidates with an opportunity to get to know one another better before making a
career/employment decision for the long term. This increases the probability of a better fit and also reduces the risk of a
poor hire.
Hiring interns also helps the Group cover sudden spikes in workload where a permanent hire would be inappropriate. It
also gives students an opportunity to experience actual workplace challenges. As can be seen from the table above, a good
number of our interns do eventually join us as employees which suggests that our internships are indeed fulfilling one of its
objectives of being a good pipeline for potential employees.
MOVING FORWARD IN SUSTAINABILITY
Managing sustainability will continue to be an integral part of our business activities and decision making framework. We
recognise the benefits of managing sustainability matters related to our business. It will provide greater value not only for
the Group, but also the communities in which we operate. While we expect the coming years to be challenging for our
business, our commitment to sustainability can only be strengthened as we are mindful of the need to balance our economic,
environmental and social responsibilities. We fully understand that such an approach is vital in maintaining a competitive
edge while driving us closer towards realising our vision of becoming a strong and dynamic global player.
We encourage our employees, suppliers, customers and investors to make this commitment towards sustainability a
collaborative effort to influence positive and sustainable change in the world we live in.

It is a policy for Directors to devote sufficient time and efforts to carry out their responsibilities. This commitment is

as Directors of the Company.
• There is demarcation of responsibilities between the Board, Board Committees and management.

Management as part of initiative to enhance accountability.

employees.
The WBP outlines when, how and to whom a concern could be properly raised about the actual or potential corporate

PRINCIPLE A: PART 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION
• Board decisions are made objectively in the best interests of the company taking into account diverse
perspectives and insights.
4.1 Board Composition
The Board composition, as at the date of this statement, comprises of five (5) Independent Non-Executive Directors
out of eight (8) Directors in the Board. Therefore, the following prescribed requirements have been fully complied by
the Board:-
• Paragraph 3.04(1) of the Listing Requirements which stipulates that at least 2 directors or 1/3 of the Board of
Directors, whichever is the higher, are Independent Directors; and
• Practice 4.1 of the Code, where at least half of the Board comprises Independent Directors.
The composition of the Board is as set out below:
Directors Designation
Tan Kai Hoe Non-Independent Non-Executive Chairman
Goh Wee Keng, Jeffrey Executive Director & CEO
Shum Sze Keong Non-Independent Non-Executive Director
Dato’ Mohamed Salleh Bin Bajuri Independent Non-Executive Director
Dato’ Seri Wong Siew Hai Independent Non-Executive Director
Dato’ Sri Lee Tuck Fook Independent Non-Executive Director
Lee Hock Chye Independent Non-Executive Director
Datuk Dr Wong Lai Sum Independent Non-Executive Director
The profile of each Director is presented in the relevant section of this Annual Report.
The Directors, with their different background and specialisation, collectively bring with them a wide range of experience
and expertise in areas such as finance, engineering, corporate affairs, legal, marketing and operations.
The Independent Non-Executive Directors bring objective and independent judgment to the decision making of
the Board and provide a capable check and balance to the Executive Director and Management. They contribute
significantly in areas such as policy and strategy development, performance monitoring, allocation of resources as well
as improving governance and controls.
Together with the Executive Director who has intimate knowledge of the business, the Board is constituted by individuals
who are committed to business integrity and professionalism in all its activities and have proper understanding of and
competence to deal with the current and emerging business issues.
4.2 Tenure of Independent Non-Executive Directors
The concept of independence adopted by the Board conforms with the definition of an Independent Director under
Paragraph 1.01 and Practice Note 13 of the Listing Requirements. An Independent Director is not a member of
Management and is free from any business or other relationship which could interfere with the exercise of independent
judgment or the ability to act in the best interests of the Group.
On 26 September 2007, Singapore Precision Engineering Limited and Singapore Aerospace Manufacturing Pte Ltd
(“SAM Singapore”), collectively, acquired 44.787% of the entire issued share capital of the Company. Thus making SAM
Singapore effectively the controlling shareholder.
In view of the foregoing, the NRC and the Board had determined that the period of nine (9) years shall commence with
effect from 26 September 2007 or the date of appointment of each Independent Director, whichever shall be the later.
041
PRINCIPLE A: PART 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION (Cont’d)
4.2 Tenure of Independent Non-Executive Directors (Cont’d)
The Board is mindful of the recommendation in Code, whereby the tenure of an independent director is subject to
a cumulative term limit of nine (9) years. Upon completion of the nine (9) year tenure, an independent director may
continue to serve on the Board as a non-independent director. If the Board intends to retain an independent director
beyond the term limit of nine (9) years, it should justify and seek annual shareholders’ approval. The Board is also
mindful of Practice 4.2 of the Code which requires the Board to seek annual shareholders’ approval through a two-tier
voting process, if the Board continues to retain an independent director after the twelfth (12th) year.
In ascertaining the independent status of the Directors, the Board continues to believe that tenure should not form part
of the assessment criteria. It is of the view that the fiduciary duties of Directors are the primary concern of all Directors,
regardless of their status. In fact, continued tenure brings stability to the Board as the Group benefits from their mix
of skills, professional and commercial experience, technical expertise in their relevant fields and competencies for
informed and balanced decision-making by the Board.
Dato’ Mohamed Salleh Bin Bajuri, Dato’ Seri Wong Siew Hai, Dato’ Sri Lee Tuck Fook and Mr Lee Hock Chye have all
served the Company as Independent Non-Executive Directors for a cumulative term of more than nine (9) years from
26 September 2007.
The NRC had conducted annual performance evaluation and assessment on these Independent Non-Executive
Directors and is of the opinion that the above Independent Directors remain objective and independent in expressing
their views and in participating in deliberation and decision making of the Board and Board Committees. Their length
of service on the Board does not in any way interfere with their exercise of independent judgement and ability to
act in the best interests of the Company. In addition, they have also confirmed and declared in writing that they are
Independent Directors and have satisfied all the criteria of an Independent Director set out in Paragraph 1.01 of the
Listing Requirements.
The Board has accepted the foregoing rationale and has agreed for the re-appointment of Dato’ Mohamed Salleh
Bin Bajuri, Dato’ Seri Wong Siew Hai, Dato’ Sri Lee Tuck Fook and Mr Lee Hock Chye to continue as Independent
Non-Executive Directors of the Company, subject to approval of the shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General
Meeting.
4.3 Diversity of Board and Senior Management
In the Company’s Board Diversity Policy, the Board encourages diversity and there is no discrimination on any basis,
including but not limited to, race, age, ethnicity and gender. The Board is of the opinion that the evaluation of suitability
of candidates should be based on their performance and merit, in the context of skills, time commitment and experience
to bring value and expertise to the Board.
4.4 Gender diversity
As mentioned above, the Board did not set specific targets on gender diversity for the Company and currently, Datuk
Dr. Wong Lai Sum is the only female Director on the Board. Her profile can be found at the relevant section of this
Annual report.
4.5 Board appointment
The Board is responsible for the appointment of new Directors, and the NRC is delegated with the role of screening and
conducting an initial selection, which includes an external search, before making a recommendation to the Board. The
NRC has the authority to obtain the services of professional recruitment firms to source for candidates for directorship
or seek independent professional advice whenever necessary.
As part of the role of the NRC, the NRC also evaluates the suitability of potential candidates for appointment to
the Board based on, amongst others, experience, commitment (including time commitment), competency, and (if
applicable) such relevant regulatory criteria for assessing independence. The NRC will then recommend the successful
candidates for approval and appointment by the Board.
4.6 Nominating and Remuneration Committee
The NRC of the Company comprises exclusively of Non-Executive Directors, a majority of whom are Independent
Directors.
The Members of the NRC and their meeting attendance during their tenure in office for the financial year under review

Upon review, the Board concluded that the Directors’ Trainings for the FY2019 were adequate.
• Stakeholders are able to form an opinion on the overall effectiveness of the Board and individual directors.
5.1 Annual assessment of the Directors, Board as a whole and Board Committees
The Board through the NRC conducts an annual evaluation to appraise the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the
effectiveness of the Board Committees and the further required mix of skills and experiences to enhance Board efficacy.
The said evaluation on the Board covers board size, mix or composition, conduct of Board meetings and Directors’
skills set matrix.
The Board Committees are assessed based on their roles and scope of work, frequency and length of meetings, supply
of sufficient and timely information to the Board and also overall effectiveness and efficiency in discharging their duties.
The results of the evaluation are then collated, distilled, summarised and reported to the Board by the NRC Chairman
with an aim towards continuous improvement of the Board and Board Committees.
In addition to the foregoing, the NRC also assesses the independence of each of the Independent Non-Executive
Directors annually, taking into account the individual Director’s ability to exercise independent judgment at all times
and to contribute to the effective functioning of the Board. All findings by the NRC will be reported to the Board.
During FY2019, the NRC also conducted an assessment of the Directors who are subject to retirement at the forthcoming
AGM in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Company. Upon recommendation by the NRC of the
proposed re-election of the relevant directors, the Board recommended and supported the re-election of the relevant
Directors to be tabled at the AGM for shareholders’ approval.
• The level and composition of remuneration of directors and senior management take into account the company’s
desire to attract and retain the right talent in the Board and senior management to drive the company’s long-
term objectives.
• Remuneration policies and decisions are made through a transparent and independent process.
6.1 Remuneration Policy
Each Director is paid a Director’s fee of RM50,000 per annum for serving as a member of the Board.
The Director serving as the Chairman of the relevant Board Committee receives an additional annual remuneration as
set out below:
Board Committee Chairman’s Annual Remuneration

AC RM10,000
NRC RM7,500
RSC RM7,500
The rest of the Directors who serve as ordinary members to the relevant Board Committee receives an additional annual
remuneration of RM5,000.
The Directors’ fees and remuneration are appropriate to their contribution, taking into consideration effort, commitment
and time spent as well as the responsibilities involved.
All Non-Executive Directors are also paid a meeting allowance of RM2,000 for each meeting attended. The Executive
Director & CEO is not entitled to any meeting allowance.
The Board collectively determined the remuneration for the Non-Executive Directors to ensure the same is appropriately
reflective of experience and the level of responsibilities and contributions including the number of the scheduled
meetings for the Board, and Board Committees; and are competitive compared with the prevailing market practices.
Each of the Non-Executive Directors abstained from deliberating and voting on his or her own remuneration.
For FY2019, the NRC had performed its duty to assess the remuneration package of its Executive Director.
In addition, the NRC had also deliberated on the Directors’ fees for the financial year ending 31 March 2020 (“FY2020”)
which is subject to the shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming AGM. Further to the deliberations, the NRC had
reported to the Board its recommendation.
• Stakeholders are able to assess whether the remuneration of directors and senior management is commensurate
with their individual performance, taking into consideration the company’s performance.
7.1 Details of the remuneration of Directors
Pursuant to Section 230 of the Companies Act 2016, the fees of the directors and any benefits payable to the directors

7.2 Remuneration of Senior Management
The Company considers the remuneration of the Senior Management personnel to be sensitive and proprietary in view
of the competitive nature of human resource market. Thus, the Company does not intend to adopt the recommendation
to disclose the detailed remuneration of each member of Senior Management in bands of RM50,000 on a named basis.
Furthermore, this is also to preserve confidentiality, negative impact arising from the disclosure, and the larger need to
maintain a stable work environment to meet long-term strategic goals.

AAPG 3 does not require the External Auditors to consider whether the Directors’ Statement on Risk Management and
Internal Control covers all risks and controls, or to form an opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s risk
management and internal control system including the assessment and opinion by the Board of Directors and management
thereon. The auditors are also not required to consider whether the processes described to deal with material internal control
aspects of any significant problems disclosed in the annual report will, in fact, remedy the problems.
CONCLUSION
Notwithstanding the fact that the Group’s system of risk management and internal controls do not eliminate the possibility
of collusion, deliberate circumvention of procedures by employees, fraud or other unforeseen circumstances, the Board has
received assurance from the CEO and CFO that the Group’s risk management and internal control system are operating
adequately and effectively, in all material aspects.
The Board is of the view that the system of internal control and risk management which are in place for the year under review,
and up to the date of approval of this Statement, is sound and sufficient to safeguard shareholders’ investment, the interest
of customers, regulators, employees and other stakeholders, and the Group’s assets.
The Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control was approved by the Board of Directors on 21 May 2019.

employees of the Group. The ESGS will be administered by the ESGS Committee in accordance with the By-Laws of the
ESGS.
The salient features of the scheme are, inter alia, as follows:
(a) The ESGS shall be in force for a period of 5 years from 30 November 2018 (“ESGS Period”) and may be extended at the
discretion of the Board upon the recommendation of the ESGS Committee provided that the ESGS Period shall not in
aggregate exceed the duration of 10 years from 30 November 2018 or such longer duration as may from time to time
be permitted by the relevant authorities.
(b) The total number of shares which may be made available under the ESGS shall not exceed in aggregate 5% of the total
number of issued shares of the Company (excluding treasury shares, if any) at any point in time during the ESGS Period.
(c) Eligible employees are employees employed by and are on the payroll of any company in the Group (excluding dormant

065
Other statutory information
Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps to
ascertain that:
i) all known bad debts have been written off and adequate provision made for doubtful debts, and
ii) any current assets which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business have been written down to an
amount which they might be expected so to realise.
At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:
i) that would render the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the Group
and in the Company inadequate to any substantial extent, or
ii) that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
misleading, or
iii) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of
the Company misleading or inappropriate, or
iv) not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements that would render any amount stated in the financial
statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.
At the date of this report, there does not exist:
i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year and which
secures the liabilities of any other person, or
ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year.
No contingent liability or other liability of any company in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely to become
enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will
or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and of the Company to meet their obligations as and when they fall due.
In the opinion of the Directors, other than the impairment loss on investments in subsidiaries and gain on disposal of
property, plant and equipment as disclosed in Note 19 to the financial statements, the financial performance of the Group
and of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2019 have not been substantially affected by any item, transaction
or event of a material and unusual nature nor has any such item, transaction or event occurred in the interval between the
end of that financial year and the date of this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d)
1. Basis of preparation (Cont’d)
(a) Statement of compliance (Cont’d)
The following are accounting standards, amendments and interpretations that have been issued by the Malaysian
Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) but have not been adopted by the Group and the Company: (Cont’d)
• MFRS 17, Insurance Contracts
MFRSs, Interpretations and amendments effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date yet to be
confirmed
• Amendments to MFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and MFRS 128, Investments in Associates and
Joint Ventures – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
The Group and the Company plan to apply the abovementioned accounting standards, amendments and
interpretations, where applicable, in the respective financial years when the above mentioned accounting standards,
amendments or interpretations become effective.
The initial application of the accounting standards, amendments and interpretations are not expected to have
any material financial impacts to the current period and prior period financial statements of the Group and the
Company except as mentioned below:
MFRS 16 Leases
MFRS 16 replaces the guidance in MFRS 117, Leases, IC Interpretation 4, Determining whether an Arrangement
contains a Lease, IC Interpretation 115, Operating Leases – Incentives and IC Interpretation 127, Evaluating the
Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
MFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right-
of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to
make lease payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor
accounting remains similar to the current standard which continues to be classified as finance or operating lease.
The Group has performed a preliminary impact assessment of MFRS 16. The assessment is based on currently
available information and may be subject to changes arising from further reasonable and supportable information
being made available to the Group in financial year ending 31 March 2020 when the Group will adopt MFRS 16.
Overall, the Group expects to recognise an estimated lease liabilities of RM29 million with a corresponding right-
of-use assets of RM28 million, with the difference to be recognised in retained earnings as at 1 April 2019 in the
year of adoption of MFRS 16.
(b) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis other than as disclosed in the financial
statements.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the Company’s functional currency. All
financial information is presented in RM and has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.
(d) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with MFRSs requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
081
1. Basis of preparation (Cont’d)
(d) Use of estimates and judgements (Cont’d)
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 6 - Deferred tax assets

• Note 9 - Inventories
• Note 15 - Provisions
2. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial
statements and have been applied consistently by Group entities, unless otherwise stated.
Arising from the adoption of MFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and MFRS 9, Financial Instruments,
there are changes to the accounting policies of:
i) financial instruments;
ii) revenue recognition; and
iii) impairment losses of financial instruments
as compared to those adopted in previous financial statements. The impacts arising from the changes are disclosed in
Note 34.
(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.
2. Significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
(a) Basis of consolidation (Cont’d)
(ii) Business combinations (Cont’d)
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.
(iv) 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.
(v) 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
exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are
retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of the
reporting date, except for those that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at
the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences
arising on the retranslation of a financial instrument designated as a hedge of currency risk, which are recognised
in other comprehensive income.
083
(b) Foreign currency (Cont’d)
(ii) Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia
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.
(c) Financial instruments
Unless specifically disclosed below, the Group and the Company generally applied the following accounting
policies retrospectively. Nevertheless, as permitted by MFRS 9, Financial Instruments, the Group and the Company
have elected not to restate the comparatives.
(i) Recognition and initial 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.
Current financial year
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without significant financing component) or a financial liability is
initially measured at fair value plus or minus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs
that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issuance. A trade receivable without a significant financing
component is initially measured at the transaction price.
An embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract where the host contract is not a
financial asset, and accounted for separately if, and only if, the derivative is not closely related to the economic
characteristics and risks of the host contract and the host contract is not measured at fair value through profit
or loss. The host contract, in the event an embedded derivative is recognised separately, is accounted for in
accordance with policy applicable to the nature of the host contract.
Previous financial year
Financial instrument was recognised initially, at its fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial instrument
not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that were directly attributable to the acquisition or issue
of the financial instrument.
An embedded derivative was recognised separately from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if,
and only if, it was not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the host
contract was not recognised as fair value through profit or loss. The host contract, in the event an embedded
derivative was recognised separately, was accounted for in accordance with policy applicable to the nature of
the host contract.
(c) Financial instruments (Cont’d)
(ii) Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
Categories of financial assets are determined on initial recognition and are not reclassified subsequent to their
initial recognition unless the Group or the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets
in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following
the change of the business model.
(a) Amortised cost
Amortised cost category comprises financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective
is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The
financial assets are not designated as fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition,
these financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised
cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment
are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Interest income is recognised by applying effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount except
for credit impaired financial assets (see Note 2(g)(i)) where the effective interest rate is applied to the
amortised cost.
(b) Fair value through profit or loss
All financial assets not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income as
described above are measured at fair value through profit or loss. This includes derivative financial assets
(except for a derivative that is a designated and effective hedging instrument). On initial recognition, the
Group or the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements
to be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as at fair value
through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would
otherwise arise.
Financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair
value. Net gains or losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in the profit or loss.
All financial assets, except for those measured at fair value through profit or loss, are subject to impairment
assessment (see Note 2(g)(i)).
In the previous financial year, financial assets of the Group and the Company were classified and measured
under MFRS 139, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement as follows:
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Fair value through profit or loss category comprised financial assets that were held for trading, including
derivatives (except for a derivative that was a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective
hedging instrument) or financial assets that were specifically designated into this category upon initial
recognition.
Derivatives that were linked to and must be settled by delivery of unquoted equity instruments whose fair
values could not be reliably measured were measured at cost.
Other financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss were subsequently measured at their
fair values with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
085
(ii) Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement (Cont’d)
Financial assets (Cont’d)
Previous financial year (Cont’d)
(b) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables category comprised debt instruments that were not quoted in an active market,
trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
Financial assets categorised as loans and receivables were subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method.
All financial assets, except for those measured at fair value through profit or loss, were subject to impairment
assessment (see Note 2(g)(i)).
Financial liabilities
The categories of financial liabilities at initial recognition are as follows:
Amortised cost
Other financial liabilities not categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss. Any gains or losses
on derecognition are also recognised in the profit or loss.
In the previous financial year, financial liabilities of the Group and the Company were subsequently measured
at amortised cost other than those categorised as fair value through profit or loss.
Fair value through profit or loss category comprised financial liabilities that were derivatives or financial liabilities
that were specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition.
Derivatives that were linked to and must be settled by delivery of unquoted equity instruments that did not
have a quoted price in an active market for identical instruments whose fair values otherwise could not be
reliably measured were measured at cost.
Financial liabilities categorised as fair value through profit or loss were subsequently measured at their fair
values with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
(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.
(iii) Financial guarantee contracts (Cont’d)
Financial guarantees issued are initially measured at fair value. Subsequently, they are measured at higher of:
• the amount of the loss allowance; and

• the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in
accordance to the principles of MFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Liabilities arising from financial guarantees are presented together with other provisions.
In the previous financial year, fair value arising from financial guarantee contracts were classified as deferred
income and was amortised to profit or loss using a straight-line method over the contractual period or, when
there was no specified contractual period, recognised in profit or loss upon discharge of the guarantee. When
settlement of a financial guarantee contract was probable, an estimate of the obligation was made. If the
carrying value of the financial guarantee contract was lower than the obligation, the carrying value was adjusted
to the obligation amount and accounted for as a provision.
(iv) Hedge accounting
At inception of a designated hedging relationship, the Group and the Company document the risk management
objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Group and the Company also document the economic
relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash
flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other.
Cash flow hedge
A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk
associated with all, or a component of, a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction
and could affect the profit or loss. In a cash flow hedge, the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument
that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated
in equity and the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. The effective portion of changes in the fair
value of the derivative that is recognised in other comprehensive income is limited to the cumulative change in
fair value of the hedged item, determined on a present value basis, from inception of the hedge.
Subsequently, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity
into profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast cash flows affect profit
or loss. If the hedge item is a non-financial asset or liability, the associated gain or loss recognised in other
comprehensive income is removed from equity and included in the initial amount of the asset or liability.
However, loss recognised in other comprehensive income that will not be recovered in one or more future
periods is reclassified from equity into profit or loss immediately.
The Group designates only the change in fair value of the spot element of forward contracts as the hedging
instrument in cash flow hedging relationships. The change in fair value of the forward element of forward
exchange contracts (“forward points”) and/or the foreign currency basis spread are separately accounted for
as cost of hedging and recognised in a cost of hedging reserve within equity.
087
(iv) Hedge accounting (Cont’d)
Cash flow hedge (Cont’d)
Current financial year (Cont’d)
Cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedging instrument expires or is sold,
terminated or exercised, the hedge is no longer highly effective, the forecast transaction is no longer expected
to occur or the hedge designation is revoked. If the hedge is for a forecast transaction, the cumulative gain or
loss on the hedging instrument remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When hedge accounting
for cash flow hedges is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in the hedging reserve and
the cost of hedging reserve remains in equity until, for a hedge of a transaction resulting in recognition of a
non-financial item, it is included in the non-financial item’s cost on its initial recognition or, for other cash flow
hedges, it is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods as the hedged expected future cash
flows affect profit or loss.
If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, then the amounts that have been accumulated
in the hedging reserve and the cost of hedging reserve are immediately reclassified to profit or loss.
In the previous financial year, cost of hedging was expensed to profit or loss.
(v) Derecognition
A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from
the financial asset expire or transferred, 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 of the financial asset and the sum of consideration received
(including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) is recognised in the profit or loss.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract
is discharged, cancelled or expires. A financial liability is also derecognised when its terms are modified and
the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case, a new financial liability based
on modified terms is recognised at fair value. 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 the profit or loss.
(vi) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial
position when, and only when, the Group or the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the
amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and liability simultaneously.
(d) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost 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. Costs also may include transfers from equity of any
gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
(d) Property, plant and equipment (Cont’d)
(i) Recognition and measurement (Cont’d)
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that
equipment.
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 property, plant and equipment and is recognised net
within “other operating income” and “other operating expenses” respectively in profit or loss.
(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.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. 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 lives 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. Property, plant and equipment under
construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Years
Buildings 30
Electrical installation and fittings 3 - 50
Factory equipment 5 - 10
Motor vehicles 5
Office equipment, furniture and fittings 3 - 10
Plant and machinery 5 - 10
The leasehold land of the Group are amortised over the lease period of 60 years. Leasehold land which in
substance is a finance lease is classified as property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of the reporting period, and
adjusted as appropriate.
089
(e) Leased assets
Operating lease
Leases, where the Group or the Company does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership
are classified as operating leases and, except for property interest held under operating lease, the leased assets
are not recognised on the statement of financial position. Property interest held under an operating lease, which
is held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, is classified as investment property and measured
using fair value model.
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.
(f) Intangible assets
(i) Computer software
Computer software are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment
losses.
(ii) Research and development
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical
knowledge and understanding, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Expenditure on development activities, whereby the application of research findings are applied to a plan
or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised only if
development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible,
future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete
development and to use or sell the asset.
The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and overheads costs that are directly
attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. For qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised
in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs. Other development expenditure is recognised
in profit or loss as incurred.
Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any
accumulated impairment losses.
(iii) Amortisation
Amortisation is based on the cost of the asset less its residual value. Computer software are amortised on a
straight-line basis over a period of 3 to 6 years while development expenditure are amortised on a straight-line
basis over a period of 10 years. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end
of each reporting period and adjusted, if appropriate.
(g) Impairment
(i) Financial assets
Unless specifically disclosed below, the Group and the Company generally applied the following accounting
policies retrospectively. Nevertheless, as permitted by MFRS 9, Financial Instruments, the Group and the
Company elected not to restate the comparatives.
The Group and the Company recognise loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured
at amortised cost, contract assets and lease receivables. Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted
estimate of credit losses.
The Group and the Company measure loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss,
except for cash and bank balance for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition,
which are measured at 12-month expected credit loss. Loss allowances for trade receivables, contract assets
and lease receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition
and when estimating expected credit loss, the Group and the Company consider reasonable and supportable
information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and
qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment
and including forward-looking information, where available.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over
the expected life of the asset, while 12-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses
that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date. The maximum
period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the
Group and the Company are exposed to credit risk.
The Group and the Company estimate the expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix
with reference to historical credit loss experience.
An impairment loss in respect of financial assets measured at amortised cost is recognised in profit or loss and
the carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
At each reporting date, the Group and the Company assess whether financial assets carried at amortised
cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental
impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or full) to the extent that there
is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group or the Company determines
that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay
the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to
enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s or the Company’s procedures for recovery amounts
due.
All financial assets (except for financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss and investments
in subsidiaries) were assessed at each reporting date whether there was 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, were not recognised.
An impairment loss in respect of loans and receivables was recognised in profit or loss and was 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 was reduced through
the use of an allowance account.
091
(g) Impairment (Cont’d)
(i) Financial assets (Cont’d)
Previous financial year (Cont’d)
If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase could be objectively
related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss
was reversed, to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount did not exceed what the carrying amount would
have been had the impairment not been recognised at the date the impairment was reversed. The amount of
the reversal was recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Other assets
The carrying amounts of other assets (except for inventories, contract assets and deferred tax assets) 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 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.
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 to reduce the carrying amounts of the assets in the cash-generating unit (groups of cash-
generating units) on a pro rata basis.
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.
(h) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost of inventories is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and 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.
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) Contract asset/Contract liability
A contract asset is recognised when the Group’s or the Company’s right to consideration is conditional on something
other than the passage of time. A contract asset is subject to impairment in accordance to MFRS 9, Financial
Instruments (see Note 2(g)(i)).
A contract liability is stated at cost and represents the obligation of the Group or the Company to transfer goods
or services to a customer for which consideration has been received (or the amount is due) from the customers.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances 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.
(k) Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation
that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the
discount is recognised as finance cost.
(i) Warranties
A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is
based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.
(ii) Onerous contracts
A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from
a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is
measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected
net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment
loss on the assets associated with that contract.
(l) Revenue and other income
(i) Revenue
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer in exchange for
transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group
or the Company recognises revenue when (or as) it transfers control over a product or service to customer. An
asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of the asset.
The Group or the Company transfers control of a good or service at a point in time unless one of the following
over time criteria is met:
(a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided as the Group or the Company
performs;
(b) the Group’s or the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the
asset is created or enhanced; or
(c) the Group’s or the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Group
or the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
093
(l) Revenue and other income (Cont’d)
(ii) 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.
(iii) Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method in profit or loss.
(iv) Government grants
Government grants are recognised initially as deferred income at fair value when there is reasonable assurance
that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant; they are
then recognised in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss as other income on a
systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are recognised.
(m) 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.
(n) 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 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 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.
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of
the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting
date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
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 assets and liabilities on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities
will be realised simultaneously.
(n) Income tax (Cont’d)
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against
which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting
period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Unutilised reinvestment allowance, being a tax incentive that is not a tax base of an asset, is recognised as a
deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that the future taxable profits will be available against the
unutilised tax incentive can be utilised.
(o) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and sick
leave 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) Earnings per ordinary share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares (“EPS”).
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
(q) 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 segment results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker, which
in this case is the Chief Executive Officer of the Group, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the
segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
(r) Equity instruments
Instruments classified as equity are measured at cost on initial recognition and are not remeasured subsequently.
(i) Issue expenses
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.
095
(s) Compound financial instruments
A compound financial instrument is a non-derivative financial instrument that contains both a liability and an equity
component.
Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise Irredeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan
Stocks that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued
does not vary with changes in their fair value.
The proceeds are first allocated to the liability component, determined based on the fair value of a similar liability
that does not have a conversion feature or similar associated equity component. The residual amount is allocated
as the equity component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity
components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is
not remeasured subsequent to initial recognition.
Interest and losses and gains relating to the financial liability are recognised in profit or loss. On conversion, the
financial liability is reclassified to equity; no gain or loss is recognised on conversion.
(t) Contingent liabilities
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated
reliably, the obligation is not recognised in the statements of financial position and is disclosed as a contingent
liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence
will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as
contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
(u) Fair value measurements
Fair value of an asset or a liability, except for 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 value are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the input 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.

26. Operating segment - Group
The Group has two reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s strategic business units. The
strategic business units offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require
different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the strategic business units, the Chief Operating Decision
Maker (“CODM”) (i.e. the Group’s Chief Executive Officer) reviews internal management reports at least on a quarterly
basis. The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group’s reportable segments:
Aerospace Provides a dedicated end-to-end manufacturing solutions on critical engine parts and
other related equipment parts
Equipment manufacturing Provides an array of equipment engineering and solutions for commercial, semiconductor
and other industries
Performance is measured based on segment profit before tax as included in the internal management reports that
are reviewed by the CODM. 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.
Other non-reportable segment comprise investment holding activities and provision of intra-group management
services which did not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments.
26. Operating segment - Group (Cont’d)
Segment assets
The total of segment asset is measured on all assets of a segment, as included in the internal management reports that
are reviewed by the CODM. Segment total asset is used to measure the return on assets of each segment.
Segment liabilities
Segment liabilities information is neither included in the internal management reports nor provided regularly to the
CODM. Hence, no disclosure is made on segment liabilities.

28.3 Financial risk management
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk
• Market risk
28.4 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 the individual
characteristics of each customer. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from advances to
subsidiaries and financial guarantees given to banks for credit facilities granted to subsidiaries.
Trade receivables and contract assets
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis.
Normally, credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount.
At each reporting date, the Group or the Company assesses whether any of the trade receivables and contract
assets are credit impaired.
The gross carrying amounts of credit impaired trade receivables and contract assets are written off (either
partially or full) when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group or the
Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient
cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. Nevertheless, trade receivables and contract assets that
are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities.
There are no significant changes as compared to previous year.
Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables and
contract assets are represented by the carrying amounts in the statements of financial position.
Concentration of credit risk

Recognition and measurement of impairment losses
Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience over the past three years. The Group also considers
differences between (a) economic conditions during the period over which the historic data has been collected,
(b) current conditions and (c) the Group’s view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.
The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and ECLs for trade receivables and
contract assets as at 31 March 2019 which are grouped together as they are expected to have similar risk nature.

Cash and bank balances
The cash and bank balances are held with banks and financial institutions. As at the end of the reporting period,
the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying amounts in the statement of financial
position.
These banks and financial institutions have low credit risks.
Other receivables
Credit risk on other receivables is mainly arising from indirect tax due from local authorities.
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying
amounts in the statements of financial position.
As at the end of the reporting period, the Company did not recognise any allowance for impairment losses.
139
Inter-company advances
The Company provides unsecured advances mainly to subsidiaries. The Company monitors the ability of the
subsidiaries to repay the advances on an individual basis.
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying
amounts in the statement of financial position.
Advances provided are not secured by any collateral or supported by any other credit enhancements.
Recognition and measurement of impairment loss
Generally, the Company considers advances to subsidiaries and related companies have low credit risk. The
Company assumes that there is a significant increase in credit risk when a subsidiary’s or a related company’s
financial position deteriorates significantly. As the Company is able to determine the timing of payments of the
subsidiaries’ advances when they are payable, the Company considers the advances to be in default when the
subsidiaries are not able to pay when demanded. The Company considers a subsidiary’s advance to be credit
impaired when:
• The subsidiary or related company is unlikely to repay its advance to the Company in full; or
• The subsidiary or related company is continuously loss making and is having a deficit shareholders’ fund.
The Company determines the probability of default for these advances individually using internal information
available.
The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and ECLs for subsidiaries’ advances
as at 31 March 2019.

Financial guarantees
The Company provides unsecured financial guarantees to banks in respect of banking facilities granted to certain
subsidiaries. The Company monitors the ability of the subsidiaries to service their loans on an individual basis.
The maximum exposure to credit risk amounts to RM84.7 million (2018: RM18.4 million) representing the
outstanding banking facilities of the subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period.
The financial guarantees are provided as credit enhancements to the subsidiaries’ loans and borrowings.
141
Financial guarantees (Cont’d)
Recognition and measurement of impairment loss
The Company assumes that there is a significant increase in credit risk when a subsidiary’s financial position
deteriorates significantly. The Company considers a financial guarantee to be credit impaired when:
• The subsidiary is unlikely to repay its credit obligation to the bank in full; or
• The subsidiary is continuously loss making and is having a deficit shareholders’ fund.
The Company determines the probability of default of the guaranteed loans and borrowings individually using
internal information available.
As the end of the reporting period, the Company did not recognise any allowance for impairment in respect of
financial guarantees.
28.5 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 bank balances and bank facilities deemed adequate by the management
to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they fall due.
It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at
significantly different amounts.

28.6 Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates that will
affect the Group’s financial position or cash flows.
28.6.1 Currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other
than the respective functional currencies of the Group entities. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily
U.S. Dollar (“USD”), Singapore Dollar (“SGD”), Euro Dollar (“EURO”) and Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”).
The Group uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its foreign currency risk arising from sales and purchases
denominated in foreign currency. Most of the forward exchange contracts have maturities of less than two
years after the end of the reporting period. Where necessary, the forward exchange contracts are rolled over at
maturity.
Exposure to foreign currency risk
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency (a currency which is other than the functional currency of the Group
entities) risk, based on carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

Currency risk sensitivity analysis
A 5% (2018 : 5%) strengthening of the functional currency of Group entities against the following currencies at
the end of the reporting period would have increased/(decreased) post-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. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular
interest rates, remained constant and ignores any impact on forecasted sales and purchases. There is no impact
to equity arising from exposure to currency risk.

A 5% (2018 : 5%) weakening of the functional currency of Group entities 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.
28.6.2 Interest rate risk
The Group’s fixed rate deposits and borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes
in interest rates. Short term receivables and payables are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will
fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially
independent of changes in market interest rates.

28.6.2 Interest rate risk (Cont’d)
Exposure to interest rate risk
The interest rate profile of the Group’s significant interest earning and interest-bearing financial instruments,
based on carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

- Onshore foreign currency loans - 6,292 - -
99,808 18,412 - -
(a) Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments
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) Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk
At the reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points lower/higher, with all other variables held
constant, the Group’s post-tax profit or loss would have been RM379,270 (2018 : RM69,966) higher/lower,
arising mainly as a result of lower/higher interest expense on floating rate loans and borrowings. The
assumed movement in basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable
market environment.

28.7 Fair value information
The carrying amounts of cash and bank balances, short term receivables and payables and short term borrowings reasonably approximate their fair values
due to the relatively short term nature of these financial instruments.

28.7 Fair value information (Cont’d)
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.
There has been no transfer between the levels in fair value during the financial year (2018 : no transfer in either
direction).
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.
The carrying amount of floating rate loans and borrowings approximate fair value as their effective interest rates
change accordingly to movements in the market interest rate.
Level 3 fair value
Level 3 fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs for the financial assets and liabilities.
29. Capital management
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 investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future
development of the business.
There was no change in the Group’s approach to capital management during the financial year.
30. Operating leases
Leases as lessee
Non-cancellable operating lease rentals are payable as follows:

for RM243,211,000 (2018: RM134,465,000) of which, RM84,673,000 (2018 : RM18,412,000) were utilised at the end of
the reporting period.
32. Significant events during the financial year
32.1 At an extraordinary general meeting held on 14 August 2018, the Company’s shareholders approved the
establishment of the Employees’ Share Grant Scheme (“ESGS”) of up to 5% of the total number of issued shares
of the Company to eligible employees of the Group.

10,000,000 new ordinary shares to the Company for a total consideration of RM10,000,000 by way of capitalisation of
the amount due from SAM Precision (M) Sdn. Bhd..
34. Significant changes in accounting policies
During the year, the Group and the Company adopted MFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and MFRS
9, Financial Instruments on their financial statements. The Group and the Company generally applied the requirements
of these accounting standards retrospectively with practical expedients and transitional exemptions as allowed by

34.2 Accounting for financial instruments
a. Transition
In the adoption of MFRS 9, the following transitional exemptions as permitted by the standard have been
adopted:
i) The Group and the Company have not restated comparative information for prior periods with respect
to classification and measurement (including impairment) requirements. Differences in the carrying
amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of MFRS 9 are recognised
in retained earnings and reserves as at 1 April 2018. Accordingly, the information presented for 2018 does
not generally reflect the requirements of MFRS 9, but rather those of MFRS 139, Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement.
ii) The following assessments have been made based on the facts and circumstances that existed at the
date of initial application:
- the determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held;
- the designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assets and financial
liabilities as measured at FVTPL; if any.
iii) Loss allowance for receivables (other than trade receivables) is recognised at an amount equal to lifetime
expected credit losses until the receivable is derecognised.
b. Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities on the date of initial application of MFRS 9:
The following table shows the measurement categories under MFRS 139 and the new measurement
categories under MFRS 9 for each class of the Group’s and the Company’s financial assets and financial
liabilities as at 1 April 2018:

for impairment was recognised in opening retained earnings of the Group and of the Company at 1
April 2018 respectively on transition to MFRS 9.
34.3 Accounting for revenue
In the adoption of MFRS 15, the following practical expedients as permitted by the standard have been adopted:
(a) for completed contracts, the Group does not restate contracts that:
(i) begin and end within the same annual reporting period; or
(ii) are completed contracts at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
(b) for comparatives, the Group does not disclose the amount of consideration allocated to the remaining
performance obligations and an explanation of when the Group expects to recognise revenue.
34.3 Accounting for revenue (Cont’d)
The following are the changes in revenue recognition from the adoption of MFRS 15:
Current year’s revenue

Type of revenue Previous year’s revenue recognition recognition
Manufacture of aircraft The Group previously recognised revenue Revenue is recognised
components and other aircraft when the goods were delivered to the sooner under MFRS 15
related equipment parts, spares customer’s premises, which was taken to because it is recognised
and precision engineering parts be the point in time at which the customer over time.
accepted the goods and the related risks and
rewards of ownership transferred. Revenue
was recognised at the point provided that the
revenue and costs could be measured reliably,
the recovery of the consideration was probable
and there was no continuing managerial
involvement with the goods.
Design and assembly of The Group previously recognised revenue Revenue is recognised

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
to the members of SAM ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT (M) BERHAD
(Company No. 298188 - A) (Incorporated in Malaysia)
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of SAM Engineering & Equipment (M) Berhad, which comprise the statements
of financial position as at 31 March 2019 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 068 to 161.
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 2019, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International 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.

We have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated for the Company in our report.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report Thereon
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 Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International 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.
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.
165
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 5 to the financial statements.
Other Matter
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.

There is no revision to the proposed Directors’ fees as compared to the previous 24th AGM of the Company.
The benefits payable to each Director pursuant to Section 230(1)(b) of the Act have been reviewed by the Board of
Directors of the Company based on the current Board size, all of whom have recognised that the benefits payable
are in the best interest of the Company. As for the meeting allowance it will be accorded based on the attendance

In the event, the proposed amount is insufficient, e.g. due to enlarged Board size, approval will be sought at the
next AGM for the shortfall.
iii) Resolution 8 – Authority to issue and allot shares
The Ordinary Resolution proposed herein is primarily to seek for the renewal of the Previous Mandate (as defined
herein) to give flexibility to the Board of Directors to issue and allot shares up to 10% of the total number of issued
share (excluding treasury shares) of the Company for the time being, at any time in their absolute discretion for such
purposes as the Board of Directors considers to be in the best interests of the Company (hereinafter referred to as
the “General Mandate”). This General Mandate is sought to avoid any delays and costs involved with the convening
of a general meeting. This General Mandate, unless revoked or varied by the Company in a general meeting, will
expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company.
The Company had been granted a general mandate by its shareholders at the last AGM held on 14 August 2018 of
which will lapse at the conclusion of the 25th AGM (hereinafter referred to as the “Previous Mandate”).
As at the date of this Notice, the Previous Mandate granted by the shareholders had not been utilised and hence,
no proceeds were raised therefrom.
The General Mandate, upon renewal, will provide flexibility to the Company for any possible fund-raising activities,
including but not limited to placing of shares for the purpose of funding future investment project(s), working capital
and/or acquisitions.

iv) Resolution 9 – Proposed New and Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate
The proposed Ordinary Resolution 9, if approved by shareholders, will authorise the Proposed New and Renewal of
Existing Shareholders’ Mandate for RRPT of a revenue or trading nature and allow the Company and its subsidiaries
to enter into RRPT of a revenue or trading nature as set out in Section 2.5 of the Circular dated 29 July 2019, with
the related parties in the ordinary course of business which are necessary for the day-to-day operations based on
terms which are not more favourable to the related parties than those generally available to the public and are not
to the detriment of the minority shareholders of the Company. This approval shall continue to be in force until the
conclusion of the next AGM of the Company at which time it will lapse unless the authority is renewed by a resolution
passed at the meeting; or the expiration of the period within which the next AGM after the date it is required to be
held pursuant to Section 340(2) of the Act (but shall not extend to such extension as may be allowed pursuant to
Section 340(4) of the Act); or revoked/varied by resolutions passed by the shareholders of the Company in general
meeting; whichever is the earlier. Further information on the Proposed New and Renewal of Existing Shareholders’
Mandate is set out in the Circular dated 29 July 2019.
v) Resolution 10 to 13 – Mandate for the Directors who has served as Independent Non-Executive Directors of
the Company for a cumulative term of more than nine (9) years, to continue to act as an Independent Non-
Executive Director of the Company
Pursuant to Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2017 (“MCCG”), the Company is required to seek
shareholders’ approval if intends to retain an independent director who has served the Company for a cumulative

have served as an Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company for a cumulative term of more than nine (9)
years, to continue to act as Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company.
Both the NRC and the Board have at the annual assessment assessed the independence of Independent Non-

ability to act in the best interests of the company. In addition, they have also confirmed and declared in writing that
they are Independent Directors and have satisfied all the criteria of an Independent Director set out in Paragraph
1.01 of the Listing Requirements.
