CHAIRMAN’S
STATEMENT
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
The year 2012 followed as a challenging year for the entire Group. The
hurdles of a vibrant and constantly evolving market had kept many in
the Company on their toes.
This renewed focus on the mobile app development will allow
mTouche to enter into the new phase of the smart phone era, playing
a major role in the direction of the mobile market, and the Group will
be prepared to face the future.
PROSPECTS
Certain issues of mention were regulatory changes in some of our
emerging market countries. These issues required some significant
attention, and the management performed at their best to overcome
these challenges in each country.
Also of significant mention is the Group has looked ahead into the
market and has realigned the focus of the business to include a more
popular market trend, which is developing mobile applications.
Following on with this trend, the Group has released some new
applications specific to certain regions and languages, marking
mTouche’s presence in mobile app market.
Also, in accordance to the development of the mobile market moving
towards a more global market, it is the goal for mTouche to move its
operations towards emulating the success achieved in other
countries to each country in order to give mTouche a significant
international presence.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (“R&D”)
With mTouche’s new move towards developing itself to be the
premier mobile content provider on the mobile application market,
mTouchewill continue to pay significant attention towards the
importance of our R&D.
This will require some investment and development in expanding our
R&D resources and team, allowing mTouche to grasp all corners of
the market with finesse and direction.
annual report 2012
mTouche’s large presence in South East Asia has set up the Group as
a major player in the mobile content industry. The strategic presence
in this geographic area will be used to grant the Group with the benefit
to possibly expand into new countries and territories, deepening our
foothold in the region.
The positive growth of smart phones and tablets will produce exciting
results for the market, and the Group will perform to approach these
challenges with the masterful knowledge of the region and trade.
It is also our intention to refocus our dependency on single sources of
revenue, improving our revenue streams by diversifying our revenue
sources. This will be approached by implementing new charging
models, business strategies and including and improving new and
existing services.
It is our belief on the board that this will allow mTouche to continue
being a leader in the market, and with the hope that it will move the

In closing, I would like to extend a warm thank you to our Board
members, management team, employees and all stakeholders for
allowing me to chair this Group. I am certain that we can bring

STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Importance of Corporate Governance
The Board of Directors (“the Board”) is committed in ensuring that the highest standards of corporate governance are upheld throughout the
Group as a fundamental part of discharging its responsibilities to protect and enhance stakeholders’ value. To this end, the Board fully supports
the principles and the corresponding recommendations of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012.
The Board has taken measures and efforts to ensure that as far as practicable, the adoption and the implementation of the Code’s principles and
recommendations. Save for recommendations 2.2, 3.5 and 8.2, in which the Board having duly considered the rationale for the deviation as set
out in this statement, all other recommendations of the Code are fully adopted.
The Board is pleased to outline the corporate governance practices of the Group, which forms the system of governance adopted by the Board.
A.
Directors
The Board
An effective Board with diversed background leads and controls
the Group to ensure capable management. It resolves key
business matters and corporate policies except those reserved
for shareholders as provided in the Articles of Association, in
accordance with the Companies Act, 1965, Listing Requirements
of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and other regulations.
The group has in place a Board Charter which sets out the roles
and responsibilities of the Board including functions delegated to
Management. The Board Charter is available on the Group’s
website at www.mtouche.com.
The Board consists of competent individuals with appropriate
specialised skills and knowledge to successfully direct, supervise
and manage the Group’s business as a going concern, which
encompassed issues of setting strategic business directions,
overseeing conducts and affairs, developing shareholders and
investors relations and communications, reviewing the system
on risk management and internal control and succession
planning.
The Board takes full responsibility for the performance of the
Group and reviews the strategic direction and effective control of
the Group taking into account changes in the business and
political environment and risk factors. The Board complements
an executive management team in delivering sustainable added
value for shareholders.
In discharging its fiduciary duties, the Board is assisted by Board
Committees, namely the Audit Committee, the Nomination
Committee and the Remuneration Committee. Each Committee
operates within its respective specific terms of reference which
have been approved by the Board. The ultimate responsibility for
the final decision on all matters, however, lies with the Board as
a whole.
The Board is also guided by the Group Code of Conduct and
Whistle Blowing Policy in discharging its oversight role
effectively. A summary of the Code of Conduct and Whistle
Blowing Policy is published on the corporate website.
Board Composition and Balance
The Board currently has six (6) members, comprising two (2)
Executive Directors, two (2) Independent Non-Executive
Directors and two (2) Non-Independent Non-Executive Directors.
Together, the Directors bring a wide range of business and
financial experience which adds value to the Group. The profile of
each Director is presented on pages 6 and 7 of this Annual
Report.
The role of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)
is held by different individuals, with the Chairman being a
Non-Executive Director. The separation of these positions
10
Technology Berhad (656395-X)
promotes
accountability
and
facilitates
division
of
responsibilities. The task of the Chairman includes leading
the Board in the oversight of management whilst the Chief
Executive Officer focuses on the business and day to day
management of the Group.
The presence of Independent Non-Executive Directors fulfills a
pivotal role in corporate accountability with their unbiased and
independent views, advice and judgement to take into account of
the long term interests of the shareholders, employees,
customers and the Group’s business associates, which ensure
that no one individual dominates the decisions of the Board. The
tenure of an independent director should not exceed a
cumulative term of nine (9) years. Nevertheless, upon completion
of the nine years, an Independent Director may continue to serve
the Board subject to the approval of shareholders to continue as
an Independent Director or be re-designated as a
Non-Independent Director.
The Board has assessed the independence of its Independent
Directors, namely Dato’ Ahmad Bahrin Bin Idrus and Mr Yeap
Teik Pung, who in the opinion of the Board are able to bring
independent and objective judgement to Board’s deliberations.
According to the Recommendation 3.5 of the Code, the Board
must comprise a majority of Independent Directors where the
Chairman of the Board is not an Independent Director. The
Chairman of the Board is Y.M. Raja Hizad Bin Raja
Kamarulzaman, a Non-Independent Non-Executive Director. He
was appointed as Chairman after considering his wide
experience in providing leadership to the Board.
The compliance to the Recommendation 3.5 of the Code would
require an increase in the current size of the Board. The Board
considers its current size as adequate, given the present scope
of work and nature of the Group’s business operations and the
investment of the minority shareholders is fairly reflected in the
Board representation. The Board is of the view that the Chairman
provides strong leadership and is able to marshal the Board’s
priorities objectively. In addition, the Board holds the view that
there is no imbalance of power and authority in the current Board
composition.
Balance in the Board is achieved and maintained where the
composition of the members of the Board are professionals and
entrepreneurs, with the combination of industrial knowledge,
broad business ideas and commercial experiences. Such
balance enables the Board to provide effective leadership in all
aspects, as well as maintaining high standards of governance
and integrity in making decisions relating to strategy,
performance, internal control, investors’ relation and human
resource management. The Board will continue to monitor and
review the Board size and composition as periodically.
Dato’ Ahmad Bahrin Bin Indrus was appointed as the Senior
Independent Non-Executive Director to whom concerns may be
conveyed to him at [email protected].

During the financial year, the Board also resolved and approved
the Company’s matters through circular resolutions. Board
members are provided with sufficient detailed information for
approvals via circular resolutions and are given full access to
senior Management to clarify any matters that may arise.
Every Director has unrestricted access to advice and services of
the Company Secretary. The Board believes that the Company
Secretary is capable of carrying out her duties to ensure the
effective functioning of the Board while the terms of appointment
permit her removal and appointment only by the Board as a
whole.
Supply of Information
The Board recognises that decision making process is highly
contingent on the strength of information furnished. As such,
Directors have unrestricted access to any information pertaining
to the Group.
The Chief Executive Officer plays a key role in ensuring that all
Directors have full and timely access to information with Board
papers circulated at least three (3) working days in advance of
Board meetings. This ensures that Directors have sufficient time
to appreciate issues deliberated at the Board meetings and
expedite their decision making process.
annual report 2012
The Audit Committee plays a pivotal role in channeling pertinent
operational and assurance related issues to the Board. The Audit
Committee partly functions as a filter to ensure that only pertinent
matters are tabled at the Board level.
The Board is also regularly updated from time to time by the
Company Secretary and/or Management on new statutory and
regulatory requirements or any changes or amendments to the
regulatory requirements concerning their duties and
responsibilities.

The Articles of Association of the Company provides that at least
one-third (1/3) of the Board is subject to retire by rotation at each
AGM. The Directors to retire in each year are the Directors who
have been the longest in office since their appointment or
re-appointment. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election. This
provides an opportunity for shareholders to renew their mandates.
The election of each Director is voted on separately. To assist
shareholders to renew their decision, sufficient information such
as personal profile, meetings attendance and the shareholdings in
the Group of each Director standing for election are available in
the Annual Report.
In accordance to Recommendation 2.2 of the Code, which
requires the establishment of policy formalising its approach to
boardroom diversity and to ensure that women candidates are
sought as part of the recruitment exercise, the Board has yet to
implement gender diversity policies and targets, or has any
immediate plans to implement such policies and targets as the
Board is of the view that gender should not be a basis of
evaluation and that candidate should be sought after based on
their level of experience and skill set.

certain of its responsibilities to the respective committees namely,
Audit Committee, Nomination Committee and Remuneration

STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
(cont'd.)
D. Shareholders
Internal Audit Function
The Group values good communication with its shareholders and
investors. The Board and Management ensure timely
dissemination of information on the Group’s performance and
other matters affecting interests of the shareholders and investors
through announcements, circulars, press releases and
distribution of annual reports as set out in the Listing
Requirements of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and the
Code. The Group’s corporate website is regularly updated as part
of the Group’s effort to leverage on information technology for
effective dissemination of information.
The AGM is the principal avenue for dialogues and interaction
with the shareholders. At the AGM, the Board presents the
progress and performance of the Group. Shareholders present
are given opportunity to present their views or to seek more
information, and all Board Members, Senior Management and the

shareholders’ enquiries during the meeting. However any
information that may be regarded as undisclosed material

make an announcement of the detailed results showing the
number of votes cast and against each resolution.
Recommendation 8.2 of the Code further encourages the

the view that voting by way of a show of hands is an effective
method, given the current level of shareholders’ attendance at the

feasibility and appropriateness of this method in each AGM.
Nevertheless, effective 1 June 2013, poll voting is mandated for
related party transactions that require specific shareholders’
approval.

action and evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of the
Internal Control systems in the organisation.
Relationship with Auditors
The Board has established transparent and appropriate
relationship with its external auditors through the AC. The AC and
the Board maintain a great emphasis on the objectivity and
independence of the external auditors, in providing the relevant
and transparent reports to shareholders. In ensuring full

Group’s system of internal control and compliance to
Management, AC and the Board.
Annually, the AC also reviews the appointment, performance and
remuneration of the external auditors before recommending them
to the shareholders for re-appointment in the AGM.
The role of the AC in relation to the external auditors is set out in
the AC Report on page 15 of this Annual Report.
Directors’ Responsibility Statement
The Directors are required to ensure that the financial statements
of the Group and Company are drawn up in accordance with the

STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT
AND INTERNAL CONTROL
Pursuant to Rule 15.26 (b) of the
ACE Market Listing Requirements of
Bursa Securities (the “ACE LR”), the
Board is required to make a
statement in the annual report on
the state of the internal control of
the Group. In this respect, the Board
is pleased to present the following
Statement on Risk Management
and Internal Control prepared in
accordance with the ACE LR and as
guided by the Statement on Risk
Management and Internal Control:
Guidelines for Directors of Listed
Issuers issued by the Taskforce on
Internal Control.
Board Responsibility
The Board acknowledges its overall responsibility in establishing a sound framework of risk
management and internal controls which are fundamental for good corporate governance. The Board
focuses on effective risk oversight which is critical to setting the tone and culture towards effective risk
management and internal control. Due to the limitations that are inherent in any system of risk
management and internal control, this system is designed to manage and minimise, rather than
eliminate, the risk of failure to achieve corporate objectives. Accordingly, it can only provide
reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The system on internal
control covers, inter alia, risk management, financial, organisational, operational and compliance
controls.
Main Features of Risk Management and Internal
Control System
The Group cannot achieve its objectives and sustain success without effective governance, risk
management and internal control procedures. The following are the main features of the Group’s risk
management and internal control system:
Risk Management Framework
Formalised policies and procedures
In order to achieve a sound system of risk management
and internal control, the Board together with
Management ensures that the risk management
framework and internal control system is embedded into
the culture, processes and structures of the Group. The
Board is responsible in determining the overall risk
appetite and delegates the responsibility of implementing
the processes for identifying, evaluating, monitoring and
reporting of risks and internal control, including taking
appropriate and timely corrective actions as needed, to
the Management. The Group adopts a Three Line of
Defence Model in its risk management framework. The
first line of defence is carried out via the internal controls
in place as part of the day to day operations. The second
line of defence relates to the oversight function by both
the Board and Management. The final and third line of
defence is that of the independent assurance providers,
namely the Internal Auditors and the External Auditors.
To facilitate effective and efficient operations, clear
formalised internal policies and procedures are in place to
support the Group to achieve its objectives. These
policies and procedures serves as a guideline to ensure
compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and
also internal controls with respect to the conduct of
business.
Clear roles and responsibilities
The Group has in place an organisational structure with
clearly defined lines of responsibilities and appropriate
levels of delegation and authority. The roles and
responsibilities of the Board is set out in the Board
Charter. Committees namely Audit Committee,
Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee
with clearly defined Terms of Reference are established to
assist the Board to discharge its responsibilities. Authority
limits within the Group facilitates accountability and
supports an efficient decision making process.
Budgetary planning and monitoring
Business plan and budgetary exercise is carried out
annually which serves as a monitoring tool to ensure that
Group is on track to meet its objectives. Actual
performances are monitored against the budget
periodically with appropriate corrective action taken on a
timely basis.
Internal audit
As part of the Group’s Three Line of Defence Model in its
risk management framework, an internal audit function is
in place to provide independent and objective assurance
on the risk management and internal controls. The
internal audit function is outsourced to a professional
services firm which reports directly to the Audit
Committee to ensure high level of independence.
Review by External Auditors
Pursuant to Rule 15.23 of the ACE LR, the External Auditors have reviewed this Statement of Risk
Management and Internal Control, and reported to the Board that nothing has come to their attention
that causes them to believe that this statement is inconsistent with their understanding of the process
adopted by the Board in reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the system of internal control.
Conclusion
The Board is in the view that the Group’s risk management and internal control system is operating
adequately and effectively, in all material aspects, based on the risk management model adopted by
the Group and has received the same assurance from the Chief Executive Officer and Group Financial
Controller.
This statement was made in accordance with a resolution of the Board dated 23 April 2013.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (cont'd.)
Other statutory information
(a) Before the statements of comprehensive income and statements of financial position of the Group and of the Company were made out, the

(i) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of allowance for doubtful debts and
satisfied themselves that there were no known bad debts and that adequate allowance had been made for doubtful debts; and

business had been written down to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.

(ii) the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.
(c) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which would render adherence to the existing
method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate.

Group and of the Company which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.

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

Report on the financial statements
We have audited the financial statements of mTouche Technology Berhad, which comprise statements of financial position as at 31 December
2012 of the Group and of the Company, and 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 28 to 74.
Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements so as to give a true and fair view in accordance with
Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia. The directors are
also responsible for such internal control as the directors deem 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 about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements that give a true
and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2012
and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards, and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia, we also report the following:
(a) In our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and its 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 financial statements and the auditors' reports of all the subsidiaries of which we have not acted as auditors, which
are indicated in Note 16 to the financial statements, being financial statements that have been included in the consolidated financial
statements.
(c) We are satisfied that the financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements and we have received
satisfactory information and explanations required by us for those purposes.
(d) The auditors’ reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification and did not include any comment
required to be made under Section 174(3) of the Act.
Other reporting responsibilities
The supplementary information set out in Note 34 on page 74 is disclosed to meet the requirement of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The
directors are responsible for the preparation of the supplementary information in accordance with Guidance on Special Matter No. 1,
Determination of Realised and Unrealised Profits or Losses in the Context of Disclosure Pursuant to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Listing
Requirements, as issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“MIA Guidance”) and the directive of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. In our
opinion, the supplementary information is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the MIA Guidance and the directive of Bursa

NOTES
TO
THE
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
31 December 2012
1. Corporate information
mTouche Technology Berhad (“the Company”) is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and is listed on
the ACE market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The registered office of the Company is located at 10th Floor, Menara Hap Seng, No. 1 &
3 Jalan P. Ramlee, 50250 Kuala Lumpur. The principal place of business of the Company is located at Suite 39-06, Menara Citibank 165, Jalan
Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur.
The principal activities of the Company are investment holding, research and development of existing and new technologies in the field of
information technology and telecommunications and related activities.
The principal activities of the subsidiaries are shown in Note 16. There have been no significant changes in the nature of the principal activities
during the year.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 23 April 2013.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting
Standards (“MFRSs”), International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
These are the Group's and the Company's first financial statements prepared in accordance with MFRSs and MFRS 1 First-time
Adoption of Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards has been applied.
For the periods up to and including the year ended 31 December 2011, the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were
prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards (“FRSs”) in Malaysia. The financial impact on transition to MFRSs is disclosed
in Note 2.2(a).
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.
The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM).
2.2 Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS Framework)
On 19 November 2011, the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB) issued a new MASB approved accounting framework, the
Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS Framework”).
The MFRS Framework is to be applied by all Entities Other Than Private Entities for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012,
with the exception of entities that are within the scope of MFRS 141 Agriculture (MFRS 141) and IC Interpretation 15 Agreements for
Construction of Real Estate (IC 15), including its parent, significant investor and venturer.
These financial statements, for the year ended 31 December 2012, are the first the Group has prepared its financial statements with MFRSs.
For periods up to and including the year ended 31 December 2011, the Group prepared its financial statements in accordance with Financial
Reporting Standards (“FRS”) in Malaysia.
Accordingly, the Group has prepared financial statements which comply with MFRS for the period ending on or after 31 December 2012,
together with the comparative period data as at and for the year ended 31 December 2011, as described in the summary of significant
accounting policies. In preparing these financial statements, the Group's opening statement of financial position was prepared as at 1
January 2011, the Group's date of transition to MFRS.
(a) Business combinations
MFRS 3 Business Combinations has not been applied to acquisitions of subsidiaries, which are considered businesses for MFRS that
occurred before 1 January 2011. Use of this exemption means that the FRS carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, that are required
to be recognised under MFRS, is their deemed cost at the date of the acquisition. After the date of the acquisition, measurement is in
accordance with MFRS. Assets and liabilities that do not qualify for recognition under MFRS are excluded from the opening MFRS
statement of financial position. The Group did not recognise or exclude any previously recognised amounts as a result of MFRS
recognition requirements. MFRS 1 also requires that the FRS carrying amount of goodwill must be used in the opening MFRS
statement of financial position (apart from adjustments for goodwill impairment and recognition or derecognition of intangible assets).
(b) Foreign currency translation reserve
Under FRSs, the Group recognised foreign currency translation differences on foreign operations in the foreign currency translation
reserve in equity.
Upon the transition to MFRS, the Group elected to deem all foreign currency translation differences that arose prior to the date of
transition in respect of foreign operations to be nil as at the date of transition to MFRSs.
The reconciliation of equity for comparative periods at the date of transition reported under FRS to those reported for those periods
and at the date of transition under MFRS are provided below:

2.4 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the reporting date. The
financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same reporting
date as the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for by applying the purchase method. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contigent
liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Adjustments to those fair
values relating to previously held interests are treated as a revaluation and recognised in other comprehensive income. The cost of an
acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Any excess of the cost of business combination over the Group’s share in the net fair value of the
acquired subsidiary’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is recorded as goodwill on the statement of financial position.
The accounting policy for goodwill is set out in Note 2.8(a). Any excess of the Group’s share in the net fair value of the acquired subsidiary’s
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of business combination is recognised as income in profit or loss on the
date of acquisition. When the Group acquires a business, embedded derivatives separated from the host contract by the acquiree are
reassessed on acquisition unless the business combination results in a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the
cash flows that would otherwise be required under the contract.
2.5 Transactions with non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interest represents the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and is
presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial
position, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company.
Changes in the Company owners' ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity
transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the
changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and
the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent.
2.6 Foreign currency
(a) Functional and presentation currency
The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM),
which is also the Company’s functional currency.
(b) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries and are
recorded on initial recognition in the functional currencies at exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates as
at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies measured at fair value are translated using
the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the reporting date are recognised
in profit or loss except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign
operations, which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and accumulated under foreign currency translation reserve in
equity. The foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified from equity to profit or loss of the Group on disposal of the foreign
operation.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period
except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly
in equity. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in equity.
(c) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into RM at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date and income and
expenses are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken
directly to other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount recognised in other comprehensive
income and accumulated in equity under foreign currency translation reserve relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in
the profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign operations are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign
operations and are recorded in the functional currency of the foreign operations and translated at the closing rate at the reporting date.

2.7 Property, plant and equipment, and depreciation
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised
as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item
can be measured reliably.
Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognises
such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its
cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All
other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates:
- Computers
- Furniture and fittings
- Office equipment
- Renovations
- Motor vehicles
33%
20%
33%
20%
20%
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each year-end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or
disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
2.8 Intangible assets
(a) Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired is allocated, from the acquisition date, to each of the Group’s cash-generating
units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that
the cash-generating unit may be impaired, by comparing the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit, including the allocated the
goodwill, with the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than
carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not reversed in
subsequent periods.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that cash-generating unit is disposed of, the goodwill
associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on
disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative fair values of the operations
disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
(b) Other intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured initially at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is
their fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial acquisition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised over the estimated useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an
indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method are reviewed at least at each
financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in
the asset is accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting
estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if the events
and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Such
intangible assets are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is reviewed annually to determine
whether the useful life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a
prospective basis.

2.8 Intangible assets (cont'd.)
(b) Other intangible assets (cont'd.)
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
( i ) Intellectual property
Intellectual property comprises telecommunication software and television programme rights acquired and is considered to have
a finite useful life due to the technological risks and advancement inherent in the industry. Intellectual property of the Group
is amortised on a straight line basis over its estimated useful lives ranging between 2 and 10 years.
( ii ) Software license
The Group has developed the following criteria to identify computer software license to be classified as plant and equipment or
intangible asset:
- software license that is embedded in computer-controlled equipment, including operating system that cannot operate without
that specific software is an integral part of the related hardware and is treated as plant and equipment;
- application software that is being used on a computer that is generally easily replaced and is not an integral part of the related
hardware is classified as intangible asset.
Due to the risk of technological changes, the useful lives of all software licenses are generally assessed as finite. The software
license classified as intangible asset is amortised over its estimated useful life ranging between 3 and 5 years.
(iii) Research and development costs
All research costs are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.
Expenditure incurred on projects to develop new products is capitalised and deferred only when the Group can demonstrate the
technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its
ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the
project and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. Product development expenditures which do
not meet these criteria are expensed when incurred.
Development costs, considered to have finite useful lives, are stated at cost less any impairment losses and are amortised using
the straight-line basis over the commercial lives of the underlying products ranging between 5 and 10 years.
2.9 Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or
when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For the purpose of assessing
impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units (“CGU”)).
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset 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.
Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any
goodwill allocated to those units or groups of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups
of units on a pro-rata basis. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no
longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the
carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
2.10 Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits
from its activities.
In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less any impairment losses.

2.11 Associates
An associate is an entity, not being a subsidiary or a joint venture, in which the Group has significant influence. An associate is equity
accounted for from the date the Group obtains significant influence until the date the Group ceases to have significant influence over the
associate.
The Group’s investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in associates
is measured in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the
associates. Goodwill relating to associates is included in the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the
net fair value of the associate’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the
carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the Group’s share of the associate’s profit or
loss for the period in which the investment is acquired.
When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group does not recognise further
losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss on the
Group’s investment in its associates. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the
investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the
recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount in profit or loss.
The financial statements of the associates are prepared as of the same reporting date as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments
are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.
In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in associates are stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such
investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss.
2.12 Joint venture
A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control,
where the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The Group recognises its interest in joint venture using equity method as describe in Note 2.11.
In the Company’s separate financial statements, its investment in joint venture is stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of
such investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is included in profit or loss.
2.13 Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the Company become a party
to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value through
profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group and the Company determine the classification of their financial assets at initial recognition.
(a) Loans and receivables
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and
losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation
process.
Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later than 12 months after the reporting
date which are classified as non-current.
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a
financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative
gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally
established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are
recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Group and the Company commit to purchase or sell the asset.

2.14 Impairment of financial assets
The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired.
Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost
To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, the Group and the
Company consider factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant
delay in payments. For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired
individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis based on similar risk characteristics. Objective evidence of
impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s and the Company's past experience of collecting payments, an increase
in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period and observable changes in national or local economic
conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as 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 impairment loss is
recognised in profit or loss.
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 becomes
uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.
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 to the extent that the carrying amount of the
asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
2.15 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These also include bank
overdrafts that form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.
2.16 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an
outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow
of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are discounted using a current pre tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting
is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
2.17 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial
liability.
Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group
and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial liabilities are classified as either
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities.
(a) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon
initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities held for trading include derivatives entered into by the Group and the Company that do not meet the hedge
accounting criteria. Derivative liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently stated at fair value, with any resultant
gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or losses on derivatives include exchange differences.
The Group and the Company have not designated any financial liabilities as at fair value through profit or loss.

(b) Other financial liabilities
The Group’s and the Company's other financial liabilities include trade payables, other payables and loans and borrowings.
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to
defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
For other financial liabilities, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the
amortisation process.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. When an existing financial liability is replaced
by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an
exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in
the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
2.18 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of that asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale
are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are substantially
completed for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs
that the Group and the Company incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.
2.19 Employee benefits
(a) Short term benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the financial year in which the associated
services are rendered by employees. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when
services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating
compensated absences such as sick leave, maternity and paternity leave are recognised when the absences occur.
(b) Defined contribution plans
The Group participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the countries in which it has operations. The
Malaysian companies in the Group make contributions to the Employee Provident Fund in Malaysia, a defined contribution pension
scheme. Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related
service is performed.
(c) Retirement benefits plan
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is determined using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and
losses for defined benefit plans are recognised in full in the period in which they occur in other comprehensive income. Such actuarial
gains and losses are also immediately recognised in retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
The past service costs are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.
If the benefits have already vested, immediately following the introduction of, or changes to, a pension plan, past service costs are
recognised immediately.
The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation using market yield of government
bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, less past service costs and less the fair value of plan
assets out of which the obligations are to be settled. Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or
qualifying insurance policies. Plan assets are not available to the creditors of the Group, nor can they be paid directly to the Group. Fair
value is based on market price information and in the case of quoted securities it is the published bid price. The value of any defined
benefit asset recognised is restricted to the sum of any past service costs and the present value of any economic benefits available in
the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan.

2.20 Leases
As lessee
Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised
at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Any initial
direct costs are also added to the amount capitalised. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the
lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to profit or
loss. Contingent rents, if any, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Leased assets are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will
obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life and the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The aggregate benefit
of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
2.21 Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably
measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable.
(i) Revenue from provision of services
Revenue from provision of services is recognised net of service taxes and discount as and when the services are performed.
(ii) Fee income
Fee income is recognised in the income statement on an accrual basis when services are rendered.
(iii) Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
(iv) Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised net of sales taxes and upon transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer. Revenue is not
recognised to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the
possible return of goods.
(v) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the Group's right to receive payment is established.
2.22 Income taxes
(a) Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax
rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised outside profit or loss, either in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
(b) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
-
where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a
business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
-
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures,
where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will
not reverse in the foreseeable future.

(b) Deferred tax (cont'd.)
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses,
to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry
forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except:
-
where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability
in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor
taxable profit or loss; and
-
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint
ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the
foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets
are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow
the deferred tax assets to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised
in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity and deferred tax arising from a
business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current
tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

For management purposes, the Group is organised into operating segments based on geographical location of its customers and assets
which are independently managed by the respective segment managers responsible for the performance of the respective segments
under their charge. The segment managers report directly to the management of the Company who regularly review the segment results
in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess the segment performance. Additional disclosures on each of these segments
are shown in Note 32, including the factors used to identify the reportable segments and the measurement basis of segment information.
2.24 Share capital and share issuance expenses
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and the Company after deducting all of
its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments.
Ordinary shares are recorded at the proceeds received, net of directly attributable incremental transaction costs. Ordinary shares are
classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared.
2.25 Treasury shares
When shares of the Company, that have not been cancelled, recognised as equity are reacquired, the amount of consideration paid is
recognised directly in equity. Reacquired shares are classified as treasury shares and presented as a deduction from total equity. No gain
or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of treasury shares. When treasury shares are reissued by
resale, the difference between the sales consideration and the carrying amount is recognised in equity.

3. Significant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting date. However,
uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of
the asset or liability affected in the future.
3.1 Judgements made in applying accounting policies
The significant judgement made in applying the accounting policies of the Group and of the Company which may have significant
effects of the amounts recognised in the financial statements is discussed below.
(a) Capitalisation and amortisation of intangible assets
Intangible assets are capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 2.8. Initial capitalisation of costs is based on
management's judgement that it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the
cost of the item can be measured reliably. In determining the amounts to be capitalised, management makes assumptions regarding the
expected future cash generation of the assets, discount rates to be applied and the expected period of useful live. At 31
December 2012, the carrying amount of intangible assets of the Group and Company is RM287,740 (2011: RM472,320) and RM Nil
(2011: RM Nil) respectively.
Amortisation is recognised in the income statement based on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of respective
components. Because the intangible assets have a finite life, the Group and the Company review the amortisation period and useful life
at least once a year. However, if there are indications that the intangible assets are unable to generate future cash flow, immediate
impairment loss would be recognised. Further details are disclosed in Note 15.
3.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainties
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainties at the reporting date that have a significant
risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next year are discussed below.
(a) Impairment of non-financial assets
At reporting date, the management determines whether the carrying values of its non-financial assets are impaired. This involves
measuring the recoverable amounts using the 5 years-discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis taking into consideration the past
trends and the more recent performances achieved by the cash generating unit (“CGU”). Where the investment is quoted, its
market value is also a basis of measurement considered by management.
The discount rate applied to the DCF analysis is 8% (2011: 8%) which is in line with the average pre-tax weighted average cost of
capital (“WACC”) of the Group. The cashflows for the following year reflect the recent performance of the respective CGU whilst
growth rates for projection of cashflows beyond the following year range between 3% and 5% (2011: 3% and 5%) reflecting its
market experience. Long term growth rate is 5% (2011: 5%).
Following the above assessment, the Group and the Company recognised impairment losses of RM Nil (2011: RM4,522,166) and RM
Nil (2011: RM1,117,005) on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment respectively as further disclosed in Note 7. The
carrying amounts of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment have been disclosed in the respective notes. Based on
management's review, no further adjustment for impairment is required for the non-financial assets of the Group and
Company during the current year.
(b) Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses, unabsorbed capital allowance and other deductible temporary
differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses, capital allowance and
other deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of
deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits. The unrecognised tax
losses, capital allowances and other deductible temporary differences of the Group amounted to RM31,257,979
(2011:RM28,842,629), at the year end.
Assumptions about generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. These depends on
estimates of future production and sales volume, operating costs, capital expenditure, dividends and other capital management
transactions. Judgement is also required about application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject
to risks and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the
amount of deferred tax assets recognised in the statements of financial position and the amount of unrecognised tax losses and
unrecognised temporary differences.

3.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainties (cont'd.)
(c) Allowance for doubtful debts
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. To determine
whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant
financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.
Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss
experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. Following this assessment, the Group and the Company recognised
impairment losses of RM14,752 (2011: RM24,234) and RM25,021 (2011: RM21,885) respectively on trade and other receivables as
further disclosed in Note 20. The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables have been disclosed in the respective note. Based
on management's review, no further allowance is required for the Group and Company during the year.

12. Income tax expense (cont'd.)
Domestic income tax is calculated at the Malaysian statutory tax rate of 25% (2011: 25%) of the estimated assessable profit/(loss) for the year.
Taxation for other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the respective jurisdictions.
The Company has been granted Multimedia Super Corridor (“MSC”) status and the incentive awarded to the Company is Pioneer Status under
Section 4A of the Promotion of Investments Act 1986. The Company has been granted an extension of its status for a further five years period
from 3 June 2009. Accordingly, its income from MSC-qualifying services continued to be exempted from tax. The provision for income tax
made by the Company are in respect of foreign witholding tax and interest income.

Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing profit/ (loss) for the year, net of tax attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding treasury shares held by the Company.
The following reflect the profit/ (loss) and share data used in the computation of basic earnings/ (loss) per share for the years ended 31 December:

basic earnings per share

* The weighted average number of shares takes into account the weighted average effect of changes in treasury shares transactions as well
as treasury shares cancelled during the year.
The outstanding warrants have been excluded from the computation of fully diluted earning/(loss) per share as the exercise of warrants to
ordinary shares would be antidilutive. There were no other transactions involving the potential dilution of ordinary shares in issue.

Receivables that are neither past due nor impaired
Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthy debtors with good payment records with the Group and
the Company. None of the Group's and the Company's trade receivables that are netiher past due nor impaired have been renegotiated
during the year.
Receivables that are past due but not impaired
The Group and the Company have trade receivables amounting to RM5,576,359 (2011: RM2,628,910) and RM19,183,118 (2011:
RM19,688,595) respectively that are past due at the reporting date but not impaired. Based on historical payment received, the Group and
the Company believe that no impairment allowance is necessary.
Amounts past due more than 365 days not impaired represents partial amounts due from subsidiaries. No impairment allowance is necessary as these amounts are repayable on demand.
Receivables that are impaired

26. Retained earnings
Prior to the year of assessment 2008, Malaysian companies adopted the full imputation system. In accordance with the Finance Act 2007
which was gazetted on 28 December 2007, companies shall not be entitled to deduct tax on dividends paid, credited or distributed to its
shareholders, and such dividends will be exempted from tax in the hands of the shareholders (“single tier system”). However, there is a
transitional period of six years, expiring on 31 December 2013, to allow companies to pay franked dividends to their shareholders under
limited circumstances. Companies also have an irrevocable option to disregard the 108 balance and opt to pay dividends under the single
tier system. The change in the tax legislation also provides for the 108 balance to be locked-in as at 31 December 2007 in accordance with
Section 39 of the Finance Act 2007.
As at 31 December 2012, the Company has not elected for the single tier system. When the tax credit balance is fully utilised, or by 31
December 2013 at the latest, the Company will automatically move to the single tier tax system. Under the single tier tax system, tax on the
Company's profit is a final tax, and dividends distributed to the shareholders will be exempted from tax.
The Company has sufficient tax-exempt income to frank the payment of dividends out of its entire retained earnings without incurring
additional tax liabilities.

29. Fair value of financial instruments
It is not practical to determine the fair values of balances with all related parties due principally to a lack of fixed repayment terms entered into
by the parties involved and without incurring excessive costs. However, the directors do not anticipate the carrying amounts recorded at the
reporting date to be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.
The carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair values, either due to their short-term nature
or that they are floating rate instruments that are re-priced to market interest rates on or near the reporting date except as indicated in their
respective notes.
30. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group and the Company are exposed to financial risks arising from their operations and the use of financial instruments. The key financial
risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.
The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies and procedures for the management of these risks, which are executed by the Chief
Executive Officer. The audit committee provides independent oversight to the effectiveness of the risk management process.
It is, and has been throughout the current and previous year, the Group’s policy that no derivatives shall be undertaken.
The following sections provide details regarding the Group’s and Company’s exposure to the above-mentioned financial risks and the
objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks.

30. Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont'd.)
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counterparty default on its obligations. The
Group’s and the Company’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables. Deposits with banks are
maintained with reputable licensed financial insitution with high credit rating.
The Group’s objective is to seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to increased credit risk exposure. The
Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit
terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result
that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.
Exposure to credit risk
At the reporting date, the Group’s and the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each
class of financial assets recognised in the statements of financial position.
Credit risk concentration profile
The Group determines concentrations of credit risk by monitoring the country profile of its trade receivables on an ongoing basis. The
credit risk concentration profile of the Group’s trade receivables at the reporting date are as follows:

Information regarding matured markets and emerging markets is disclosed in Note 32.
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Information regarding trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired is disclosed in Note 20.
Financial assets that are either past due or impaired
Information regarding financial assets that are either past due or impaired is disclosed in Note 20.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds.
The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and
liabilities. The Group’s and the Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use
of stand-by credit facilities.
At the reporting date, the Group's and the Company's financial liabilities will mature in less than one year based on carrying amount
reflected in financial statements except for certain obligation under finance lease which will mature within 1 to 5 years (Note 22).
(c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s and the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates.
As the Group has no significant interest-bearing financial assets, except short term deposits with licensed banks as disclosed in Note 21,
the Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group's
interest-bearing financial assets are mainly short term in nature and have been mostly placed in fixed deposits.
The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from interest-bearing borrowings. Borrowings at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow
interest rate risk whereas borrowings at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group’s policy is to borrow only
from reputable licensed financial institutions. As at reporting date, the Group and the Company has no interest-bearing borrowings, except
for an obligation under finance lease at a fixed interest rate, to purchase a motor vehicle (Note 22).
(d) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign
exchange rates.

THE
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(cont'd.)
31 December 2012
30. Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont'd.)
(d) Foreign currency risk (cont'd.)
The Group has transactional currency exposures arising from sales or purchases that are denominated in various foreign currencies,
primarily Thai Baht (“THB”), Indonesian Rupiah (“IDR”),Vietamese Dong (“VND”), Singapore Dollar (“SGD”) and Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”).
Approximately 71% (2011: 66%) of the Group’s sales are denominated in foreign currencies whilst almost 64% (2011: 70%) of costs of
sales are denominated in the respective functional currencies of the Group entities. The Group’s trade receivables and trade payables
balances at the reporting date have similar exposures.
The Group also hold cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies for working capital purposes. At the reporting date,
such foreign currency balances amount to RM15,534,835 (2011: RM13,613,151).
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity of the Group's profit or loss to a reasonably possible change in the following foreign
currencies:
RM
RM/ SGD Strengthened 2%
RM/ THB Strengthened 1%
RM/ HKD Strengthened 4%
RM/ VND Strengthened 3%
RM/ IDR Strengthened 9%
RM/ USD Strengthened 4%
49,000
41,000
86,000
61,000
(67,000)

The weakening of the currencies at a similar rate above will result in an equal but opposite effect to the Group's profit or loss.
31. Capital management
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order
to support its business and maximise shareholders' value.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the
capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes
were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the years ended 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011.
The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Group's policy is to keep the
gearing ratio at manageable level. The Group includes within net debt, borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and bank balances.
