For the period ended 31 December 2011, the Group achieved larger consolidated revenue of RM285.424 million, which is 11.9% higher than the pro-forma consolidated revenue of RM255.133 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 (“FY2010”). The increase in revenue in FY2011 from FY2010 was mainly due to the increase of export sales for the Group’s beverage products and higher average selling prices for the Group’s cafe chain operation and beverage products during the year.

The operation of cafe chain segment continued to be the main and dominant revenue contributor to the Group, attributing 62% of the FY2011 revenue, with the remaining 38% contributed by manufacturing of beverages segment. The Group’s revenue and profit before tax in FY2011 were mainly derived from cafe chain operation which recorded RM177.155 million and RM34.269 million respectively. The Group’s manufacturing of beverages division reported revenue of RM108.269 million and profit before tax of RM18.670 million in FY2011.

However, the Group’s FY2011 profit before tax included gain on disposal of investment in associate companies of RM5.574 million and gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment of RM2.843 million. Overall, the profit after taxation of the Group of RM40.216 million for FY2011 is 26.2% higher than the pro-forma consolidated profit after tax of RM31.872 million for FY2010.

The Group registered a higher net profit attributable to shareholders of RM40.177 million in FY2011 against the pro-forma net profit attributable to shareholders of RM31.700 million in FY2010, which translated into higher

earnings per share of 12.17 sen for FY2011 against FY2010 earnings per share of 9.61 sen, based on enlarged share capital base of 330 million ordinary shares at RM1.00 each as at the end of each financial year.

Prudent Financial Discipline

The shareholders’ fund of the Group was RM217.072 million as at end 2011 which translated into net assets per share of RM0.66 as at the end of FY2011, based on enlarged share capital base of 330 million ordinary shares. The total debt to total equity ratio remained at almost nil, gearing ratio level of 0.07 times as at the end of FY2011.

The fixed deposits, cash and bank balances conserved as at the end of FY2011 was RM85.627 million against total debt of RM15.712 million. As a result, this has turned the Group into a net cash position of RM69.915 million as at the end of FY2011. With a healthy balance sheet position and armed with vast availability of borrowing capacity, the Group is always looking out for any good business opportunities that may arise in the near future to further expand its business venture.

Improved Financial Liquidity

The Group experienced net operating cash inflow of RM42.235 million for the 12-month period ended 31 December 2011, despite netting off the cumulative disposal gain of RM8.417 million, from disposal on investment in associate companies and from disposal on property, plant and equipment.

The sharp increase in cash inflow from financing activities of RM58.372 million was primarily due to the IPO proceeds of RM79.243 million which were successfully raised during the financial year 2011. A public issue of 63.394 million new ordinary shares were issued at RM1.25 per share to the investing public pursuant to the Company’s listing exercise, which was completed on 13 July 2011.

Note:

The restructuring exercise was completed on 16 May 2011 (“Completion Date”) as disclosed in the Prospectus of the Company dated 22 June 2011.

The above comment on the Group’s financial performance refers to the audited Statements of Comprehensive Income for FY2011 against FY2010 that is prepared based on the combined results of Oldtown Berhad (“Company”) and its subsidiaries (“Group”), assuming the Group has existed on or before 1 January 2010.


In FY2011, the Group has experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of RM72.983 million, which has translated into cash and cash equivalents of RM83.198 million for the period ended 31 December 2011.

Reward to Shareholders – Dividend

A first interim single-tier dividend of 2.5 sen per share amounting to RM8.25 million in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2011 has been paid on 18 October 2011.

The Board of Directors further recommend a final single-tier dividend of 4.0 sen per share amounting to RM13.20 million in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2011, subject to the approval of the shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Should the final single-tier dividend of RM13.20 million be approved by the shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, coupled with RM8.25 million interim single-tier dividend paid on 18 October 2011, this will translate into a dividend payout ratio of 53.4% in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2011, a total dividend payout of RM21.45 million against net profit attributable to shareholders of RM40.177 million in FY2011.

The Company intends to distribute a minimum of 50% of the Group’s annual profit attributable to the shareholders as gross dividend. While retaining a sizable portion of profit and funds to finance future growth, the Company also strives to reward its shareholders with a generous level of dividend payout.

Recent Corporate Proposal

On 26 April 2012, the Company proposed to seek the approval of its shareholders to authorise the Company to purchase up to ten per cent (10%) of the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company (“Proposed Share Buy-Back Mandate”).

Based on the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company of RM330,000,000 comprising 330,000,000 ordinary shares, a maximum of 33,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company may be repurchased by the Company

pursuant to the Proposed Share Buy-Back Mandate. The Proposed Share Buy-Back Mandate is subject to the shareholders’ approval at the Company’s forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Promising Business Prospects Moving Forward

After the Malaysian economy witnessed a continuous y-o-y GDP growth rate of 5.1% in 2011 against 7.2% in 2010, the Malaysian economy is projected to grow by 4% to 5% y-o-y in 2012 in accordance to forecasts made by various economists and government bodies.

Hence, we are cautiously optimistic that our business is expected to remain strong in 2012, despite less robust global economic outlook which may derail the domestic economy’s performance in 2012 and our export markets into other region. However, the food and beverages industry is fairly resilient in its nature and is proven with the ability to weather through various economic cycles historically without seriously experiencing negative impact by any economic slowdown or even recession.

The Company has outlined various pragmatic business strategies and holistic business plans to take on greater challenges in the near future as stated in detail in the Group Managing Director’s Review of Operations of this report. All these promising development and initiatives will augur well for the Group’s performance in the ensuing year.

Acknowledgement

On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our shareholders, bankers, customers, business partners and regulatory authorities for their continued support, guidance and assistance extended to the Group. The Board would like to express its appreciation to the management and employees of the Group for their hard work and dedication.

group managing director’s review of operations

2011 OPERATIONS REVIEW (Note)

Oldtown Berhad (“the Company” or “the Group’) is one of the fastest growing cafe operators and beverages players in Malaysia at present where the Group commands significant market share in the business segment within the respective industries.

The revenue of the Group is primarily divided into two major segments, i.e. the operation of cafe chain and manufacturing of beverages. The operation of cafe chain segment continued to be the main and dominant revenue contributor to the Group, attributing 62% of the consolidated revenue for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 (“FY2011”) (65% of the pro-forma consolidated revenue for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 (“FY2010”)); whereas, the remaining 38% of the FY2011 consolidated revenue (35% of the pro-forma consolidated FY2010 revenue) was contributed by manufacturing of beverages segment.

In terms of geographical breakdown for consolidated revenue achieved in FY2011 of RM285.424 million, 76.3% was derived from the local market and the remaining 23.7% was from the export market. Within the export market segment, South East Asia contributing 9.8%, other Asian countries contributing 11.7% and others contributing the balance of 2.2%. On the other hand, for the pro-forma consolidated revenue of RM255.133 million registered in FY2010, 80.7% was derived from the local market and the remaining 19.3% was from the export market. Within the export market segment, South East Asia contributing 8.0%, other Asian countries contributing 8.9% and others contributing the remaining 2.4%.

The Group’s consolidated revenue in FY2011 derived from cafe chain operation were RM177.155 million (pro-forma

consolidated revenue in FY2010 was RM166.035 million). The increase in revenue in FY2011 as compared to FY2010 was mainly due to the higher number of cafe outlets opened by the Group in 2011 (total outlets as at the end of FY2011 and FY2010 are 196 and 175 respectively) and the higher average selling prices for the Group’s cafe chain operation during the year.

The Group’s manufacturing of beverages segment reported consolidated revenue of RM108.269 million (pro-forma consolidated revenue in FY2010 was RM89.098 million). The increase in revenue in FY2011 as compared to FY2010 was mainly due to the increase of export sales for the Group’s beverage products and rapid expansion of distribution networks across the various regions.

The cafe chain operation revenue has grown by leaps and bounds over the past 5 years, which grew from the pro-forma consolidated revenue of RM47.889 million in FY2007 to the consolidated revenue RM177.155 million in FY2011, i.e. an increase of close to 269.9% over the past 5 years or has grown at the compounded annual growth rate of 38.7% over the past 4 years. This signified that the Group has managed to consistently achieve a larger scale of operation capability over the years.

The manufacturing of beverages revenue has equally achieved fast growth pace over the past 5 years, which grew from the pro-forma consolidated revenue of RM31.296 million in FY2007 to the consolidated revenue of RM108.269 million in FY2011, i.e. an increase of close to 245.9% over the past 5 years or has achieved a compounded annual growth rate of 36.4% over the past 4 years. This indicated that various pragmatic marketing strategies implemented by the Group have bear fruits over the years.

Note:

The restructuring exercise was completed on 16 May 2011 (“Completion Date”) as disclosed in the Prospectus of the Company dated 22 June 2011.

The above comment on the Group’s financial performance refers to the audited Statements of Comprehensive Income for FY2011 against FY2010 that is prepared based on the combined results of Oldtown Berhad (“Company”) and its subsidiaries (“Group”), assuming the Group has existed on or before 1 January 2010.


2012 MARKET PROSPECTS

Integrated Business Model and Strategies

Overall, the Oldtown Group is an established and reputable operator of chain cafe since 2005 and manufacturer of beverages since 1999. As at the end of FY2011, we operated a total of 196 cafe outlets in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and China. Amongst the 196 cafe outlets, 79 are fully owned cafe outlets, 18 partially owned outlets, 96 franchised and 3 licensed outlets. All the 196 cafe outlets in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and China are based on the traditional coffee shop in Ipoh with contemporary settings with some modification to suit the local landscape especially for the overseas markets. We are specialised in our own formulation of hot and cold coffee and tea beverages using high quality coffee beans roasted with our proprietary roasting process. All our cafe outlets are well supported by three centralised food processing centre fully owned by the Group.

Additionally, the Group is also involved in manufacturing, marketing and sales of coffee and other beverages where our products are exported to countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore, USA, Taiwan, China and etc. Our products includes instant coffee mix, roasted coffee powder, instant milk tea mix, instant chocolate mix and ready to drink canned coffee. As at the end of FY2011, we have a total of 18 distributors in the local and overseas markets specifically for our retail packed coffee and tea. By leveraging on third party retailers and intermediaries, the Group is able to widen our market reach via their network without investing heavily into sales, marketing and logistics infrastructure. The Group has 11,390 retail outlets as at the end of FY2011 which carry and distribute our beverage products. Amongst others are Tesco, Jusco, 7-Eleven, SOGO, Isetan, Giant, Mydin, Carrefour, Wal Mart, Petronas, Shell, Fair Price, The Store, Cold Storage and etc., various types of hypermarkets and retail outlets located in Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong.

According to a recent market survey completed by Nielsen, an international prominent market research and survey company, which covered the period from 1 July 2010 until 30 June 2011 on a rolling 12-month basis, our products commands a relatively high ranking and market share value in Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong market. For instance, our white coffee ranked No. 1 with 42.3% market share value and our coffee mix ranked No. 3 with 9.5% market share value in Malaysia. Our coffee mix ranked No. 2 with 15.8% market share value in Hong Kong and our coffee mix owned 11.5% market share value in Singapore.

Oldtown Berhad is one of the very few players in the market place that operate under an integrated business model where both cafe operation and manufacturing of beverages operation complement each other in terms of support services, marketing campaign, promotion, business strategies and advertisements. This proven business model has enabled the Group to grow both business segments tremendously since 2005 to become one of the leading beverage manufacturers in the white coffee segment and the largest Oriental style cafe operator in terms of number of outlets in Malaysia as at today. The integrated features are essential to erect an invisible wall to fend off competition and create higher entry barriers for other potential and existing competitors from expanding their market share easily.

In view of the integrated business model pursued by the Group, we can adopt integrated business strategies in expanding our business ventures by focusing on five key important areas. First, we place emphasis on branding by strengthening and promoting the ‘OLDTOWN’ brand name which is essential in building up brand equity and uphold customer loyalty. Second, we shall continue to expand cafe network via our franchise programme locally and internationally, besides solely relying on the establishment of our fully owned outlets. Third, we shall focus on market positioning by strengthening our position as an operator


group managing director’s review of operations20

of a major cafe chain and beverages manufacturer that is specialised in coffee related products. Fourth, we shall expand our product offering by continuing to develop new and innovative product offerings whilst leveraging on our established branding. Fifth, emphasis is placed on the high standards of our quality products and services by continuing to ensure that our products consistently meet or exceed our benchmark standards of quality and customers’ expectations.

Cafe Chain Operation Development Plans

In the domestic front, we are adopting multi-pronged strategies to penetrate into new market segments and enhance our leading market position as the largest Oriental style cafe operator in Malaysia. Under the Group’s market development plans, we intend to open approximately 20 to 30 new outlets by 2012, of which 50% is operated by the franchisee and the remaining 50% is fully owned by the Group. Even though OLDTOWN cafe outlets are easily visible in most of the urban cities throughout Malaysia, we also plan to penetrate into the sub urban and rural market over the next few years, where most of the second and third tier cities and township present vast room for the Group to reach wider scope and range of customers.

The Group will continuously advertise and promote intensively our breakfast package and we aim to maintain approximately 15% to 20% cafe operation revenue to be generated from daily breakfast segment. We are also focusing into the lunch segment by creating new set lunch menu by inducing customers to increase their spending per single lunch segment.

For the international markets, our development plans in Singapore include the opening of 2 to 3 fully owned new outlets in 2012 and exploring licensing opportunities within the Singapore market. We are also in the process of revamping the existing Singapore operating model and aim to launch a more innovative concept and design for OLDTOWN cafe outlet in 2012. For the Indonesian market, we target to open another 5 to 8 new outlets in 2012. We also plan to shift the Indonesian market business module

from the company operated outlet to the sub licensing model in the near future.

China is another market that presents vast business opportunities to the Group in the long run in view of the size of the country and its population. We target to open a total of 36 new outlets by 2015, after the first two China outlets were successfully opened in November 2011 and March 2012 in Guangzhou city. We are also exploring the possibility of appointing potential licensees from other regions of China. As part of our next 5-year business plan, we are planning to set up a new food processing centre in Guangzhou and target to begin its operation before end of 2012. A permanent food processing centre in Guangzhou will enable the Group to expand into other territories of China more easily where the proximity factor does plays a significant role in supporting our long term expansion plans in China.

Manufacturing of Beverages Development Plans

In view of the rising demand towards the Group’s beverage products, we are planning to relocate our existing beverage manufacturing operations to new premises by constructing a new factory in Ipoh with cost of approximately RM44.13 million excluding the land cost of RM5.03 million. We also plan to acquire new machinery and equipment with estimated cost of RM12.00 million. The new beverage manufacturing facility is targeted to begin its commercial production by the third quarter 2012. About 50% of the total capital expenditure of RM61.16 million would be financed from IPO proceeds with the balance financed from internally generated funds and/or bank borrowings. The new manufacturing facility will provide us with additional capacity for our instant coffee mix and instant milk tea mix, where this expansion aims to increase production capacity by approximately 350% when we refer to 2011 full year output capacity.


In the domestic market, while the Group’s beverage products are currently focused on the market segment comprising professionals, managers, executives and businessmen for the age group between 30 and 50 years old, we are also planning to penetrate into the Malay market segment for the age group of between 30 and 50 years old. Our recent “Jom Heboh” marketing campaign in 2011 aimed to expand the Group’s share within the Malay market.

With a rising number of more healthy conscious customers amongst consumer group nowadays, the Group also introduced healthier choices of beverage products into the marketplace, such as “2 in 1 No Sugar Added” and “3 in 1 with Natural Cane Sugar” coffee products.

On the domestic front, we consistently invest in advertising, promotional and marketing campaigns to uphold OLDTOWN’s branding and to enhance its brand equity value in the marketplace. Our advertisements are easily located and identified in printed media such as major stream newspapers and magazines; digital media such as radio and TV commercials; as well as outdoor media in the form of road signboards and poster wall. We also organised various on-the-ground events such as consumer contests, products testing and sampling, road shows; and participated in expos and exhibitions. The recent and more prominent events are “Cut the Sugar” campaign and “Win an i-Pad 2” contest, besides our self-organised “Jom Heboh” marketing drive and our participation in the Petronas coffee break campaign during the festive season.

The Group is adopting various adaptive strategies by customising its marketing campaign and product mix when venturing into the international markets. We are enhancing and expanding our market share in the existing markets where the Group already has market presence,

such as in China, Singapore and Thailand. We are also looking into the right opportunity to expand further into new markets, such as South Korea and Vietnam over the next few years.

For instance, we are introducing new packaging of OLDTOWN’s products for the China markets as seen in our products, such as OLDTOWN white coffee classic, hazelnut, cane sugar, coffee & creamer and OLDTOWN milk tea with 8 sticks packaging. The Group is gradually expanding to penetrate into various territories in China over the next 2 years. For the northern region, we plan to cover large cities such as Beijing and Tianjin; for central region, we plan to map into Shanghai city, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces; and last for southern region, we are aiming for Guangdong province. Nowadays, most of China major retailers are selling OLDTOWN’s various products, such as in international and local retail chain like Wal Mart, Carrefour, Jusco, Auchan and RT Mart and other smaller retail outlets.

For the Singapore market, the Group has launched its new packaging size in the first quarter 2012 for our products such as OLDTOWN white coffee classic and hazelnut 8 sticks pouch pack. Our target distribution channel includes large provision shops, minimarkets and convenience chain stores.

In the Thailand market, new packaging launch and new product launch is expected to be undertaken in the second quarter of 2012 for our series of products such as OLDTOWN white coffee 3 in 1 classic 30 gram pack, coffee & creamer 20 gram pack and hazelnut 30 gram packaging. Our target distribution channel includes all modern trade and selected convenience chain stores.

The Board of Directors (“the Board”) of Oldtown Berhad (“the Company”) has always been supportive of the application of the principles and compliance with the best practices of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (“the Code”). The Board is therefore pleased to provide the following statement, which outlines how the Group has applied the principles laid down in Part 1 of the Code and the extent of compliance with the best practices set out in Part 2 of the Code during the financial year.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Board Composition and Balance

The Board has nine (9) members which comprises of five (5) Executive Directors and four (4) Non-Executive Directors. Three (3) of the Board members are Independent Directors. This composition complies with Paragraph 15.02 of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) which requires at least two (2) directors or one-third (1/3) of the Board, whichever is the higher, to be independent. The profiles of the Directors are set out on page 8 to page 12 of this Annual Report.

The Executive Directors take on the primary responsibility of the day-to-day running of the Group’s business as well as implementing the policies and decisions of the Board.

The Independent Non-Executive Directors act independently of management and do not participate in any business dealings and are not involved in any other relationship with the Group that may impair their independent judgement and decision-making. They provide a broader view and independent assessment to the Board’s decision making process by acting as an effective check and balance.

Together, with their diverse backgrounds, professional experience and wide range of skills, the Board can effectively manage and run the Group’s operations.

No Senior Independent Non-Executive Director has been appointed to whom any concerns pertaining to the Group may be conveyed as recommended by the Code. The Board will shoulder this responsibility collectively.

Board Responsibilities

The Board assumes full responsibility over the overall performance of the Company and the Group by discharging its stewardship responsibilities through providing entrepreneurial leadership, overseeing the conduct of the Company’s business, identification and management of principal risks, reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the Company’s internal controls system and developing an investor relations program. The Board has also delegated specific responsibilities to the Board Committees, all of which discharge the duties and responsibilities within their specific terms of reference.

The role of the Chairman and the Group Managing Director are clearly distinct for effective balance of power and authority because the positions are held by two different individuals. The Chairman is primarily responsible for ensuring Board’s effectiveness and conduct. He ensures that all relevant issues and quality information

to facilitate decision making and effective running of the Group’s business are included in the meeting agenda.

The Group Managing Director is responsible for the daily management of the Group’s operations and implementation of the Board’s policies and decisions. He is responsible for communicating matters relating to the Group’s business affairs and issues to the Board. His vast experience, business knowledge and skills contributed significantly towards the attainment of the Group’s goals and objectives.

The Board recognizes the importance of the role of the Independent Non-Executive Directors particularly in corporate accountability. They are essential for protecting the interests of non-controlling interests and can make significant contributions to a company’s decision making by bringing in the quality of detached impartiality.

Independent Non-Executive Directors provide unbiased and independent views in ensuring that the strategies proposed by the Management are fully deliberated and examined objectively, taking into perspective the long term interests of shareholders, other stakeholders and the community at large.

Board Meetings

The Company was listed on the Main Market of Bursa Securities on 13 July 2011. The Board met 2 times to discuss issues on the Group’s financial performance, significant investments, corporate development, strategy and business plan. The attendance record of each Director at the Board Meetings is as follows:

Appointment to the Board

The Nomination Committee, which comprises independent directors, is responsible for making recommendations for any new appointments to the Board. In making these recommendations, the Nomination Committee considers the required mix of skills and experiences which the Directors would bring to the Board. Any new nomination received is recommended to the full Board for assessment and endorsement.

Re-election of Directors

The Articles of Association (“The Articles”) of the Company provides that one-third (1/3) of the Directors are subject to retirement by rotation at the AGM at least once in every three (3) years and all retiring Directors shall be eligible for re-election.

The Articles of the Company further provides that all Directors who are appointed during the financial year are subject to retirement and re-election by the shareholders at the AGM following their appointment.

Directors over seventy (70) years of age are required to submit themselves for re-appointment annually in accordance with Section 129(6) of the Companies Act, 1965.

Board Committees

statement on internal control

Introduction

The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance requires listed companies to maintain a sound system of internal control to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the company’s assets. Pursuant to Paragraph 15.26 (b) of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”), the Board of Directors (“the Board”) of Oldtown Berhad is pleased to provide the following statement on the state of the Group’s internal controls.

Board’s Responsibilities

The Board acknowledges its responsibility and re-affirms its commitment in maintaining a sound system of internal control as well as reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the system of internal control.

The internal control system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The system of internal control covers financial, operational, compliance controls as well as risk management.

Monitoring And Reviewing The Effectiveness Of The System Of Internal Controls

The Board is committed to maintain a strong control structure whereby internal control is embedded in the business processes for the Group to pursue its objectives. The key features of the Group’s internal control system are:

1. Control Environment

(i) Organization Structure & Authorization Procedures

The Group maintains formal and structured lines of reporting, that includes the clear definition of responsibilities and delegation of authority. It sets out the roles and responsibilities, review and approval procedures to enhance the internal control system of the Group’s various operations. Limits of authorities are imposed for revenue and capital expenditure for all operating units to keep potential exposure under control. Capital and revenue expenditure, acquisition and disposal of investment interests are all properly approved before they are carried out.

(ii) Annual Budget

Budgetary control is applied to every company of the Group and actual performance is closely monitored against budgets to identify significant variances. Discussions are held between the Management and the heads of operating units to ensure the budgets are attainable and realistic.

(iii) Active Involvement by Executive Directors

The Executive Directors are actively involved in the running of the business and operations and they report to the Board on significant changes in the business and external environment, which affect the operations of the Group at large.

(iv) External Certification

The effectiveness of the system of internal control is also reviewed through the ISO 9001:2008, HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point Management System) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certifications. The demanding control procedures and documentation requirements of the certifications further strengthen the control environment. Regular review and periodic audit continuously manages and controls the quality requirement of the Group’s products.

(v) Policies and Procedures

Operational policies and procedures form an integral part of the internal control system to safeguard the Group’s assets against material losses. These include standard operating practices, memorandum, manuals and handbooks that are periodically updated when needs arise to meet the changing environment requirements.

(vi) Trained Personnel

Emphasis is placed on enhancing the quality and ability of employees through a wide variety of training programs and workshops to enhance their knowledge and expand the employees’ competency levels in executing daily jobs.


2. Risk Management Framework

Risk Management is regarded by the Board to be an integral part of the business operations. Key management staff and Heads of Department are delegated with the responsibility to manage identified risks within defined parameters and standards.

The above mentioned risk management practices of the Group serve as the on-going process used to identify, evaluate and manage significant risks.

3. Internal Audit Function

The Group’s internal audit function is outsourced to external consultants to assist the Board and Audit Committee in providing independent assessment on the adequacy, efficiency and effectiveness of the Group’s internal control system.

During the financial year ended 31 December 2011, the internal audit function carried out audits in accordance with the risk-based internal audit plan approved by the Audit Committee. The results of the internal audit reviews and the recommendations for improvement were presented to the Audit Committee at their quarterly meetings. Based on the internal audit reviews conducted, none of the weaknesses noted have resulted in any material losses, contingencies or uncertainties that would require separate disclosure in this Annual Report.

4 Information And Communication

Information critical to the achievement of the Group’s business objectives are communicated through established reporting lines across the Group. This is to ensure that matters that require the Board and Senior Management’s attention are highlighted for review, deliberation and decision on a timely basis.

5 Monitoring And Review

Scheduled operational and management meetings are held to discuss and review the business plans, budgets, financial and operational performances of the Group. The Senior Management Team meets regularly to review the reports, monitors the business development and resolves key operational and management issues. The quarterly financial statements containing key financial results and comparisons are presented to the Board for their review.

Weaknesses In Internal Controls Which Resulted In Material Losses

There were no major weaknesses in internal controls which resulted in material losses during the current financial year.

Conclusion

The Board is of the view that the Group’s system of internal controls are adequate to safeguard shareholders’ investments and the Group’s assets. However, the Board is also cognizant of the fact that the Group’s system of internal control and risk management practices must continuously evolve to meet the changing and challenging business environment. Therefore, the Board will, when necessary, put in place appropriate action plans to further enhance the system of internal controls.

This statement is made in accordance with the resolution of the Board dated 26 April 2012.

directors’ report

SHARE OPTIONS

No options have been granted by the Company to any parties during the financial year to take up unissued shares of the Company.

No shares have been issued during the financial year by virtue of the exercise of any option to take up unissued shares of the Company. As of the end of the financial year, there were no unissued shares of the Company under options.

OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Before the statements of comprehensive income and the statements of financial position of the Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps:

(a) to ascertain that proper action have been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of allowance for doubtful debts and have satisfied themselves that all known bad debts have been written off and that adequate allowance had made for doubtful debts; and

(b) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their book values in the ordinary course of business have been written down to their estimated realisable values.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances:

(a) which would render the amount written off of bad debts or the amount of allowance for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or

(b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading; or

(c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate; or

(d) not otherwise dealt with in this report or financial statements which would render any amount stated in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.

At the date of this report, there does not exist:

(a) any charge on the assets of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year and secures the liability of any other person; or

(b) any contingent liability of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year.

No contingent or other liability 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, no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report which is likely to affect substantially the results of operations of the Group and of the Company for the financial year in which this report is made.

independent auditors’ report

TO THE MEMBERS OF OLDTOWN BERHAD

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have audited the financial statements of Oldtown Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial position of the Group and of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and the statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 45 to 112.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

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

Auditors’ Responsibility

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

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

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

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

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

(b) we have considered the accounts and auditors’ report of the subsidiary, of which we have not acted as auditors, as mentioned in Note 18 to the financial statements, being accounts that have been included in the financial statements of the Group;

(c) we are satisfied that the accounts of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the financial statements of the Company are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the financial statements of the Group, and we have received satisfactory information and explanations as required by us for these purposes; and

(d) the auditors’ reports on the accounts of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification and did not include any adverse comment made under Section 174 (3) of the Act.

notes to the financial statements

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia and is listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

The Company was incorporated on November 30, 2007 and commenced business operations in investment holding during the financial year.

The principal activities of the subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 18.

Other than as stated above, there have been no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries during the financial year.

The registered office of the Company is located at 47A, Jalan Chung Ah Ming, Pasir Puteh, 31650 Ipoh, Perak Darul Ridzuan.

The principal place of business of the Company is located at No. 80, Hala Bercham Timur 11, Bercham Heights, 31400 Ipoh, Perak Darul Ridzuan.

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the directors on April 26, 2012.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards (“FRSs”) and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.

2.1 Adoption of new and revised FRSs and IC Interpretations (“IC Int.”)

During the financial year, the Group and the Company adopted all new and revised FRSs and IC Int. issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) that are relevant to their operations and effective for accounting periods beginning on or after March 1, 2010. The adoption of these new and revised FRSs and IC Int. have not resulted in material changes to the Group’s and the Company’s accounting policies except for:

FRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (Revised in 2010)

The Group has applied FRS 127, ConsolidatedandSeparateFinancialStatements (revised) where losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance. This change in accounting policy is applied prospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard and does not have impact on earnings per share.

2.2 Standards and IC Int. in issue but not yet effective

At the date of authorisation for issue of these financial statements, the FRSs, IC Int. and amendments to FRSs and IC Int. which were in issue but not yet effective are as listed below:

IC Int. 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine January 1, 2013

* Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015 immediately upon the issuance of Amendments to FRS 9 (IFRS 9 issued by IASB on November 2009 and October 2010 respectively) and FRS 7 relating to “Mandatory Effective Date of FRS 9 and Transition Disclosures” on March 1, 2012.

The directors anticipate that the abovementioned Standards and IC Int. that are relevant to the operations of the Group and of the Company will be adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group and of the Company when they become effective. Apart from additional disclosures as required by FRS 7, FRS 9, and FRS 101, the adoption of these Standards and IC Int. will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company in the period of initial application.

In addition, on November 19, 2011, the MASB issued a new MASB approved accounting framework, the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards Framework (“MFRS Framework”) in conjunction with its planned convergence of FRSs with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) on January 1, 2012.

The MFRS Framework is a fully IFRS-compliant framework, equivalent to IFRSs which is mandatory for adoption by all Entities Other than Private Entities for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012, with the exception for Transitioning Entities. Transitioning Entities, being entities which are subject to the application of MFRS 141 Agriculture and/or IC Interpretation 15 AgreementsfortheConstructionofRealEstate are given an option to defer adoption of the MFRS Framework for an additional one year. Transitioning Entities also includes those entities that consolidates, equity accounts or proportionately consolidates an entity that has chosen to continue to apply the FRS Framework for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012.

Accordingly, the Group and the Company which are not Transitioning Entities will be required to apply MFRS 1 First-timeAdoptionofMalaysianFinancialReportingStandards (“MFRS 1”) in their financial statements for the financial year ending December 31, 2012, being the first set of financial statements prepared in accordance with the new MFRS Framework. Further, an explicit and unreserved statement of compliance with IFRSs will be made in these financial statements.

The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of adoption of MFRS 1, including identification of the differences in existing accounting policies as compared to the new MFRSs and the use of optional exemptions as provided for in MFRS 1. As at the date of authorisation of issue of the financial statements, accounting policy decisions or elections have not been finalised. Thus, the impact of adopting the new MFRS Framework on the Group’s and the Company’s first set of financial statements prepared in accordance with the MFRS Framework cannot be determined and estimated reliably until the process is complete.

2.2 Standards and IC Int. in issue but not yet effective (Cont’d)



3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared on historical cost basis except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Basis of Consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries made up to December 31, 2011.

A subsidiary is a company where the Group has control through the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the subsidiary so as to obtain benefits therefrom. Control is presumed to exist when the Group owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than one half of the voting rights of the subsidiary.

Financial statements of subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, the results of the subsidiaries acquired or disposed of are included in the consolidated profit or loss from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal. On acquisition, the assets and liabilities of the relevant subsidiaries are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition.

The cost of the business combination is measured as the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under FRS 3, Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intragroup transactions, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A business combination involving entities or businesses under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities or businesses are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties, both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements items of the combining entities in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities first came under the control of the controlling parties.

The cost of investment in the holding’s book is recorded at the nominal value of shares acquired. A single uniform set of accounting policies is adopted by the combined entity. Therefore, the net assets of the combining entities are combined using the existing book values from the controlling parties’ perspective. No amount is recognised in respect of goodwill or excess of acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling parties’ interest.

(ii) Associates

An associate is a non-subsidiary in which the Group and the Company hold not less than 20% of the equity voting rights as long-term investment and in which the Group and the Company is in a position to exercise significant influence in its management.

The investment in associate of the Group is accounted for under the equity method of accounting based on the audited financial statements of the associated company made up to December 31, 2011. Under this method of accounting, the interest in the post-acquisition profits and reserves of the associate of the Group is included in the consolidated results while dividend received is reflected as a reduction of the investment in the consolidated statements of financial position.

Unrealised profits and losses arising on transactions between the Group and its associate are eliminated to the extent of the equity interest of the Group in the associated company except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.


3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

Sale of food and beverages

Sale of food and beverages are recognised when food and beverages are served, net of service tax.

Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the following conditions are satisfied:

• the Group has transferred to the customer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

• the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

• the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

• it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and

• the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Dividend income

Dividend income from quoted and unquoted investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably).

Interest income

Interest income is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time apportion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Rental income

Rental income is accrued on a time apportion basis, by reference to the agreements entered. Rental income from investment properties is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

Franchise, advertising and promotion, rights and royalty fees

Franchise, advertising and promotion, rights and royalty fees are recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably). Franchise, advertising and promotion, rights and royalty fees are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the relevant agreement.

Fees for opening of outlets

Income from opening of outlets is recognised by reference to the terms of the agreements entered.

Income from accounting services, initial training fees and management fees

Income from rendering of accounting services, initial training fees and management fees is recognised as and when services are provided.



Foreign Currencies

The individual financial statements of each group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each group entity are expressed in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the functional currency of the Company, and also the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences are recognised in statements of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise except for:

• exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value in respect of which gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. For such non-monetary items, the exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income; and

• exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore, forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to statements of comprehensive income on disposal or partial disposal of the investment.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the foreign incorporated subsidiaries of the Group are expressed in RM using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that year, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the translation reserve of the Group. Such exchange differences accumulated in the translation reserve of the Group are reclassified to statements of comprehensive income in the year in which the foreign incorporated subsidiary is disposed of when the gain or loss on disposal is recognised.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of net investment in foreign entities (including monetary items that, in substance, form part of the net investment in foreign entities), and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve.

The closing rate per unit of Ringgit Malaysia used in the translation of functional foreign currency of the subsidiary (foreign currency) is as follows:

2011 2010 Foreign Currency RM RM

Singapore Dollar 2.4373 2.3867

Borrowing Costs

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 added to the cost of those assets, until such time the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

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

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.




Government Grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred revenue in the statements of financial position and transferred to the statements of comprehensive income on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Other government grants are recognised as revenue over the periods necessary to match them with the costs for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income in the period in which they become receivable.

Operating Lease

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Employee Benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group and of the Company. Short-term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences and short-term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

Defined contribution plan

The Group and the Company are required by law to make monthly contributions to the Employees’ Provident Fund (“EPF”), a statutory defined contribution plan for all its eligible employees based on certain prescribed rates of the employees’ salaries. The Group’s and the Company’s contributions to EPF are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions and are disclosed separately. The employees’ contributions to EPF are included in salaries and wages. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group and the Company have no further payment obligations.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statements of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The liability of the Group and of the Company for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.



Taxation (Cont’d)

Deferred tax (Cont’d)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of each reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group and the Company expect, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group and the Company intend to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised outside profit or loss (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case the tax is also recognised outside profit or loss.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Freehold land and capital work-in-progress are stated at cost and is not depreciated. Capital work-in-progress comprises contractors’ payments and directly attributable costs incurred in preparing these assets for their intended use. Depreciation on assets under construction commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets, less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Annual depreciation rates used to depreciate property, plant and equipment, over their estimated remaining useful lives are as follows:

Buildings and apartments 2%Plant, machinery and equipment 5% to 20%Motor vehicles 10% to 20%Factory equipment, signboard and electrical fittings 10% to 20%Air-conditioners, computers, furniture, fittings and office equipment 10% to 20%Renovation 10% to 20%

Assets held under hire-purchase arrangements are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant hire-purchase.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Property, Plant and Equipment under Hire-Purchase Arrangements

Assets acquired under hire-purchase arrangements which transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards incident to ownership of the assets are capitalised under property, plant and equipment. The assets and the corresponding hire-purchase obligations are recorded at their fair values or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payment of the assets under hire-purchase at the inception of the respective arrangements.

Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total hire-purchase commitments and the fair values of the assets acquired, are charged to profit or loss over the term of the relevant hire-purchase period so as to give a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period.




Prepaid Lease Payments

Leasehold land that normally has an indefinite economic life and where title is not expected to pass to the lessee by the end of the lease period is treated as an operating lease. The payment made on entering into or acquiring a leasehold interest is accounted for as prepaid lease payments at the end of the reporting period. In the case of a lease of land and buildings, the prepaid lease payments are allocated whenever necessary, between the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of the lease in proportion to their relative fair value.

Prepaid lease payments on leasehold land are stated at surrogate cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Leasehold land is amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease terms ranging from 43 to 97 years.

Investment Properties

Investment properties, which are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, are measured initially at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value. Fair value is arrived at by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties. Gain or loss arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties is included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment properties are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. Gain or loss on the retirement or disposal of an investment property is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the statements of comprehensive income in the period in which the retirement or disposal arise.

Investments

Investments in subsidiaries, which are eliminated on consolidation, and investment in associate, are stated in the Company’s financial statements at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Investment in quoted unit trusts are classified as available-for-sale investment and stated at fair value.

Investments in unquoted shares are stated at cost less allowance for diminution in value of investments to recognise any decline, other than a temporary decline, in the value of the investments.

Goodwill/Negative Goodwill

Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of cost of business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised of the acquiree at the date of the combination. Goodwill which is recognised as an asset is initially measured at its cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

After initial recognition, goodwill is not amortised. Instead, it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognised immediately to the statements of comprehensive income and any impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not subsequently reversed.

On disposal of an entity or operation, the goodwill associated with the entity or operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the entity or operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal.

Any excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over costs of acquisition (previously known as negative goodwill), after reassessed, is recognised immediately to the statements of comprehensive income.



Intangible asset

Intangible asset represents supplier exclusive right for sale of goods to a chain of outlets by the Group. The right is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of 10 years.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, an analysis is performed to assess whether the carrying amount of the asset is fully recoverable. An impairment loss is provided for if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Impairment of Assets excluding Goodwill and Intangible asset

At the end of each reporting period, the Group and the Company review the carrying amounts of their assets (other than goodwill, intangible asset, investment properties, other investments, inventories and financial assets, which are dealt with in their respective policies) to determine if there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group and the Company estimate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but the increased carrying amount would not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined principally on the “First-in, First-out” method.

Costs of trading merchandise, raw materials, packing materials, food, beverages and consumables comprise the original purchase price plus cost incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The costs of finished goods and work-in-progress comprise the cost of raw materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group and the Company have a present obligations (legal or constructive) as a result of past event and it is probable that the Group and the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligations.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.




Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statements of financial position when the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

Where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, such financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade date.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets and financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), which are initially measured at fair value.

Effective Interest Method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period. Income and expense is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

(a) Financial Assets

(i) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

• it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or

• on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

• it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

• such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

• the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

• it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the “other gains and losses” line item in the statement of comprehensive income. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 38.

(ii) Available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets

AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at FVTPL. All AFS financial assets with the exception of unquoted shares which are measured at cost, are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve, with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.



Financial Instruments (Cont’d)

Effective Interest Method (Cont’d)

(a) Financial Assets (Cont’d)

(iii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Financial assets of the Group are other investments, fixed deposits, cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables and amount owing by associates.

Financial assets of the Company are fixed deposits, cash and bank balances, amount owing by subsidiaries and amount owing by associates.

(iv) Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

Objective evidence of impairment could include:

• significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

• default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

• it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

AFS investments are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the AFS investments, the estimated future cash flows of the investments have been affected. For unlisted equity investments classified as AFS, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below their costs is considered to be objective evidence of impairment. When an AFS investment is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in investments revaluation reserve are reclassified to the income statements even though the investment has not been derecognised. Impairment losses of AFS investments previously recognised in the income statements are not reversed through the income statements. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised in investments revaluation reserve.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are debited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in the income statements.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through the income statements to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial assets at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.




Financial Instruments (Cont’d)

Effective Interest Method (Cont’d)

(a) Financial Assets (Cont’d)

(v) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group and the Company derecognise a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group and the Company neither transfer nor retain substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group and the Company recognise their retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group and the Company retain substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group and the Company continue to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

(b) Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments

(i) Classification as debt or equity

Financial liabilities and debt and equity instruments issued by the Group and the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

(ii) Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

(iii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities of the Group and of the Company are classified into the “other financial liabilities” category.

(iv) Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial liabilities of the Group are trade and other payables, amount owing to ultimate holding company, hire-purchase payables, borrowings and amount owing to a director of a subsidiary.

Financial liabilities of the Company are trade and other payables and inter-company indebtedness.

(v) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group and the Company derecognise financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s and the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.

Statements of Cash Flows

The Group and the Company adopt the indirect method in the preparation of the statements of cash flows.

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to cash with insignificant risks of changes in value.


4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

(a) Critical Judgements in Applying the Group’s and the Company’s Accounting Policies

In the application of the Group’s and of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

(b) Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The following are key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets in the next financial year:

(i) Impairment of Goodwill

The Group tests goodwill for impairment annually in accordance with its accounting policy. More regular reviews are performed if events indicate that this is necessary.

For the purpose of assessing impairment, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination in which the goodwill arose.

Significant judgement is required in the estimation of the present value of future cash flows generated by the cash-generating units, which involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by assumptions used and judgement made regarding estimates of future cash flows and discount rates. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the results of the tests for impairment of goodwill.

(ii) Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Asset

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment of the Group and of the Company as of December 31, 2011 are RM52,804,871 (2010: RM45,199,768) and RM494,581 (2010: RMNil) respectively and the carrying amounts of intangible asset of the Group is RM22,065,786 (2010: RMNil).

The Group and the Company assess impairment of assets whenever the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable i.e. the carrying amount of the asset is more than the recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is measured at the higher of the fair value less cost to sell for that asset and its value-in-use. The value-in-use is the net present value of the projected future cash flow derived from that asset discounted at an appropriate discount rate. Projected future cash flows are based on the Group’s and the Company’s estimate calculated based on historical, sector and industry trends, general market and economic conditions, changes in technology and other available information. Management of the Group and of the Company have carried out an impairment review on their property, plant and equipment and concluded that there is no indication of impairment.

(iii) Estimated Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment

The Group and the Company regularly review the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period based on factors such as business plan and strategies, expected level of usage and future technological developments. Future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment would increase the recorded depreciation and decrease the value of property, plant and equipment.

(iv) Recoverability of Receivables

The carrying amounts of third-party trade and other receivables of the Group as of December 31, 2011 were RM33,599,810 (2010: RM32,399,773).

An allowance is established when there is objective evidence that the Group and the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. This is determined based on the ageing profile and collection patterns.

Carrying amount As of December 31, 2010 –

As of December 31, 2011 25,671,638

Goodwill acquired in business combination is allocated, at acquisition, to the cash-generated units (“CGUs”) that are expected to benefit from the business combinations. The Group considers each subsidiary acquired as a single CGU and the carrying amounts of goodwill were allocated to the respective subsidiaries.

Goodwill arose in the acquisition of five (5) direct and indirect subsidiaries including Old Town Kopitiam Butterworth Sdn. Bhd., Old Town Kopitiam Kuala Lumpur Sdn. Bhd., Old Town Kopitiam Cheras Sdn. Bhd., Dynasty Kitchen Sdn. Bhd. and Conneczone Sdn. Bhd. because the cost of the combination included a control premium. In addition, the consideration paid for the combination effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit of expect synergies, revenue growth, future market development and the assembled workforce of the subsidiaries. These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.

The Group also acquired the supplier exclusive right as part of the acquisition from Emperor’s Kitchen Sdn. Bhd., Esquire Chef Sdn. Bhd. and Dynasty Confectionery Sdn. Bhd.. This intangible asset has been separately recognised from goodwill as they are able to meet the definition of intangible assets as disclosed in Note 22.

None of the goodwill arising on these acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The recoverable amounts of the CGUs were based on value-in-use calculations. The calculations were determined using projected cash flows for a ten-year period by extrapolation using the growth rate based on historical experience, management’s assessment of future trends and expectation of market developments in the respective industries.



21. GOODWILL ON CONSOLIDATION (Cont’d)

The key assumptions used in preparation of the projected cash flows are as follows:

• Post-tax discount rate of 12%;

• There will be no material changes in the structure and principal activities of the subsidiaries;

• Chain of outlets will continue to operate under the franchise license for 2 terms (5 years each term);

• Projected growth rate of food and beverages at 6.8% per annum;

• There will not be any significant changes in the prices and supply of raw materials, wages and other related costs, resulting from industrial dispute, adverse changes in economic conditions or other abnormal factors, which will adversely affect the operations of the Group; and

• The statutory income tax rate for Malaysia will remain at 25%. There will be no material changes to the present legislation or regulations, rates and bases of duties, levies and other taxes affecting the Group’s activities.

No impairment loss is recognised for goodwill as the recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount during the financial year.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

Risk management is integral to the whole business of the Group and of the Company. Management continually monitors the Group’s and the Company’s risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in the market conditions and the Group’s and the Company’s activities.

There have been no changes to the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.

(a) Credit risk management

The maximum exposure to credit risk in the event that the counterparties fail to perform their obligations as at the end of the financial period in relation to each class of recognised financial assets of the Group and of the Company are the carrying amount of those assets, as stated in the statements of financial position.

The Group and the Company are exposed to credit risk mainly from trade and other receivables as well as fixed deposits, cash and bank balances. The Group’s and the Company’s established policies on credit control involve regular review of customers’ outstanding balances and payment trends.

The Group places its cash and cash equivalents with a number of creditworthy financial institutions. The Group’s policy limits the concentration of financial exposure to any single financial institution.

(b) Liquidity and cash flow risks management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity and cash flow risks management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity and cash flow risks management framework for the management of the Group’s and of the Company’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity and cash flow management requirements. The Group and the Company manage liquidity and cash flow risks by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities.

The Group and the Company expect that the cash generated from its operations, its existing credit facilities and the trade terms provided by its suppliers will be sufficient to meet the Group’s and the Company’s currently anticipated capital expenditure and working capital needs for at least the next 12 months.

(c) Market risk

The Group’s and the Company’s activities expose them primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

There have been no changes to the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured.

(i) Foreign currency risk management

The Group is exposed to the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation primarily in relation to the United States Dollar (“USD”) and Singapore Dollar (“SGD”) arising from normal trading and investment activities. Exposure to foreign currency risk is monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group endeavours to keep the net exposure at an acceptable level.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

2011 2010 USD SGD USD SGD

Trade and other receivables 6,589,718 1,090,624 4,039,284 756,509Fixed deposits, cash and bank balances 1,760,028 2,994,460 524,015 730,292Trade and other payables – 270,603 130,680 303,409

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 3% increase and decrease in RM against the relevant foreign currencies. 3% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonable possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 3% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates a decrease in profit and other equity where RM strengthens 3% against the relevant currency. For a 3% weakening of RM against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit and other equity, and the balances below would be negative.

2011 2010 Profit Profit Changes before tax Changes before tax % RM % RM

USD 3 250,492 3 132,979SGD 3 114,434 3 35,502

(ii) Interest rate risk management

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from their borrowings.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

At the end of the reporting period, if interest rates had been 100 (2010: 100) basis points lower/higher, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s profit net of tax would have been RM130,212 (2010: RM196,902) higher/lower arising mainly as a result of lower/higher interest expense on floating rate borrowings. The assumed movement in basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.

(d) Capital risk management

The Group and the Company manage their capital to ensure the Group and the Company will be able to continue as going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s and the Company’s overall strategy remain unchanged from 2010.

The capital structure of the Group and of the Company consists of net debt and equity of the Group and of the Company.

Fair Values of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The fair value of long-term financial assets and liabilities are determined by the present value of future cash flows estimated and discounted using the current interest rates for similar instruments at the end of the reporting period. There is no material difference between the fair values and carrying values of these assets and liabilities as of the reporting period.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, inter-company indebtedness, amount owing to a director of a subsidiary and trade and other payables approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

The fair values of investments on unquoted shares are not established as it cannot be measured reliably without incurring excessive cost. The other investments on unquoted shares are measured at cost. The Group intends to hold the unquoted investments on a long-term basis.

The fair values of other classes of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the respective notes to the financial statements.
