About MDeC
background and Corporate information
The Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC)
was incorporated in 1996 to strategically advise the Malaysian Government
on legislation, policies and standards for ICT and multimedia operations
as well as to oversee the development of the Malaysian Multimedia Super
Corridor (now MSC Malaysia), the platform to nurture the growth of
Malaysian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the IT industry whilst
attracting participation from global ICT companies to invest in and develop
cutting edge digital and creative solutions in Malaysia.
In 2011, MDeC’s mandate was broadened by the Prime Minister to include
driving Malaysia’s transition towards a developed digital economy by 2020
through Digital Malaysia. In 2012, Digital Malaysia was official unveiled
as the nation’s transformational programme to achieve this aim. Digital
Malaysia is the national agenda towards a sustainable digital economy built
upon a vibrant domestic ICT industry, transformative use of digital solutions
by government, businesses and citizens, as well as a robust enabling
ecosystem.
Today, both MSC Malaysia and Digital Malaysia run concurrently to spur
Malaysia’s ICT industry development and digital transformation, under the

global business Services (gbS) Cluster
GBS was formerly known as Shared Services and Outsourcing
(SSO) and comprises of 406 MSC-Malaysia status companies.
the gbS cluster focuses on 3 sub-sectors:
1
BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING (BPO)
BPO is the outsourcing of Back Office and Front Office functions, typically
performed by white collar and clerical workers. Examples include
accounting, human resources, medical-coding and transcription.
2
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
OUTSOURCING (ITO)
ITO is a company's outsourcing of computer or Internet-related work
to other companies. Examples include programming highly customized
software products, development tools and web solutions.
3
KNOWLEDGE PROCESS OUTSOURCING
(KPO)
KPO is a form of outsourcing, in which knowledge-related and
information-related work is carried out by workers in a different
company or by a subsidiary of the same organization, which may be in
the same country or in an offshore location to save cost.
Unlike the outsourcing of manufacturing, this typically involves
high-value work carried out by highly skilled staff. Some examples
include: research and development, patent research, pharmaceutical
technology, equity research, market research, data research, database
management, finance modelling, design and development in various
industries, animation, medical reports and services. Services from
engineers, doctors, attorneys and other professionals are becoming
more and more popular.

n 2014, an Internet and e-Business adoption survey
commissioned by MDeC discovered the following:
• SMEs constitute 99.2%
of total business
establishments in the
country.
• 65% of SMEs surveyed did
not use the Internet for
e-business
• 68% of them did not own a
website
• Overall, SMEs recognised
the need to have a web
presence but were deterred
by the high cost of setting
up a website for their
business.
In response to this, the “eCommerce Reward
Programme” was launched by Digital Malaysia to reward
SMEs with a proven track record of adopting and using
e-Commerce to increase their business productivity,
and spur the use of e-commerce amongst Malaysian
SMEs.
Supported by Telekom Malaysia (TM), MYNIC and
easyparcel.my, rewards were offered to the top 25
Digital Malaysia SME e-commerce success stories, with
prizes worth up to RM175,000 (US$54,630).
Running from 12 June to 12 September 2014,
participating SMEs were required to subscribe to any of
the 3 e-commerce platforms, i.e Lelong.my, Easy.my &
MYNIC. These SMEs were then trained to set-up their
online stores, and coached on driving traffic there and
converting leads to sales.
The selected SMEs were judged on business
productivity, quality of life and other related elements
by a panel of judges from various government agencies
such as KPDNKK, Cyber Security Malaysia, SKMM,
SMECorp & MDeC.
The 25 Top Digital Malaysia SME success stories came
from a variety of industries, such as fashion & apparels,
baby products, logistics and services. Notably, some of
these successful entrepreneurs were housewives and
fresh graduates.

Directors’ Report
for the year ended 31 December 2014 (cont.)
Other statutory information
Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps
to ascertain that:
i)
all known bad debts have been written off and adequate provision made for doubtful debts, and
ii)
any current assets which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business have been written down
to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.
At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:
i)
that would render the amount written off for bad debts, or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts,
in the Group and in the Company inadequate to any substantial extent, or
ii)
that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the Group and in the Company financial
statements misleading, or
iii)
which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the
Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate, or
iv)
not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements, that would render any amount stated in the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.
At the date of this report there does not exist:
i)
any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year and
which secures the liabilities of any other person, or
ii)
any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial
year.
No contingent liability or other liability of any company in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely to become
enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the
Directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and of the Company to meet their obligations as
and when they fall due.
In the opinion of the Directors, the financial performance of the Group and of the Company for the financial year
ended 31 December 2014, have not been substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and
unusual nature nor has any such item, transaction or event occurred in the interval between the end of that financial
year and the date of this report.
Auditors
The auditors, Messrs KPMG, have indicated their willingness to accept re-appointment.
Signed on behalf of the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the Directors:

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 April 2015.
1. Significant accounting policies
The following accounting policies are adopted by the Group and the Company and are consistent with those
adopted in previous years.
(a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared on the historical cost basis except
as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and in accordance with Private Entity Reporting
Standards (“PERS”) issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) and the requirements of
the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
105
Notes to the financial statements (cont.)
1. Significant accounting policies (cont.)
(b) Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are those enterprises controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the
power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain
benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date that control effectively commences until the date that control effectively ceases.
Subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting.
A subsidiary is excluded from consolidation when either control is intended to be temporary if the subsidiary
is acquired and held exclusively with a view of its subsequent disposal in the near future and it has not
previously been consolidated or it operates under severe long term restrictions which significantly impair
its ability to transfer funds to the Company. Subsidiaries excluded on these grounds are accounted for as
investments.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the
year are included from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. At the date of acquisition,
the fair values of the subsidiaries’ net assets are determined and these values are reflected in the Group
financial statements. The difference between the acquisition cost and the fair values of the subsidiaries’
net assets is reflected as goodwill or negative goodwill as appropriate and charged/credited to income
statement on the year of acquisition.
Intragroup transactions and balances and the resulting unrealised profits are eliminated on consolidation.
Unrealised losses resulting from intragroup transactions are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered.
(c) Associates
Associates are those enterprises in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the
financial and operating policies.
The consolidated financial statements include the total recognised gains and losses of associates on an equity
accounted basis from the date that significant influence effectively commences until the date that significant
influence effectively ceases.
Unrealised profits arising on transactions between the Group and its associates which are included in the
carrying amount of the related assets and liabilities are eliminated partially to the extent of the Group’s
interests in the associates. Unrealised losses on such transactions are also eliminated partially unless cost
cannot be recovered.
Goodwill on acquisition is calculated based on the fair value of net assets acquired and stated at cost less
impairment, if any.
(d) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Freehold land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line
basis to write off the cost of each asset to their residual values over their estimated useful lives at the
following annual rates:
Buildings
Furniture, fittings and office equipment
Computers and software
Motor vehicles
Renovation
2%
20%
33%
25%
20%
(e) Investments
Long term investments other than in subsidiaries and associates are stated at cost. An allowance is made
when the Directors are of the view that there is a diminution in their value which is other than temporary.
Long term investments in subsidiaries and associates are stated at cost in the Company, less impairment loss
where applicable.
Current unquoted investments are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value on an individual
assessment.
(f) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated at cost less allowance for doubtful debts.
Amount recoverable on project-in-progress represents unbilled costs on contract projects and comprises
direct costs in relation to the contracted services.
(g) Employee benefits
(i) Short term employee benefits
Wages, salaries and bonuses are recognised as expenses in the year in which the associated services
are rendered by employees of the Group. 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 absences occur.

(g) Employee benefits (continued)
(ii) Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the income
statement as incurred.
(h) Liabilities
(i) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are stated at cost.
(ii) Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue is in respect of amount received in advance of the performance period.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid
investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the cash flow statements,
cash and cash equivalents are presented net of pledged deposit.
(j) Share capital
Ordinary shares are recorded at the nominal values and are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly
attributable to issue of shares is recognised as deduction from equity.
(k) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised based on the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred.
(l) Impairment
The carrying amount of assets, other than inventories, deferred tax assets and financial assets (other
than investments in subsidiaries and associates), are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine
whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount
is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or the cashgenerating unit to which it belongs exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the
income statement.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and its value in use. In assessing value
in use, 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 an
asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used
to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been
recognised. The reversal is recognised in the income statement.
(m) Income tax
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the
income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case
it is recognised in equity.
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted
or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous
years.
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Temporary differences are
not recognised for goodwill not deductible for tax purposes and the initial recognition of assets or liabilities
that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit. The amount of deferred tax
provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the asset can be utilised.

(n) Government funds
In 2008, the Company had changed its business model where the revenue arising from services rendered is
recognised in accordance with Note 1(p). Since then, the Company had entered into an agreement (known
as Business Outsourcing and Consultancy Agreement) with the Government of Malaysia on annual basis. In
accordance with the agreement, the Government appoints the Company to render services as stipulated in
the agreement. The fund received in advance through this agreement will be recognised as deferred revenue
and presented as trade and other payables in balance sheets as disclosed in Note 11.
The Company also receives other funds from the Government to be utilised for other specific purposes.
These funds are recognised in current liability as government funds upon receipts in balance sheets.
The nature of the government funds is disclosed in Note 13.
The above unutilised funds are recorded as restricted cash deposits as disclosed in Note 10.
(o) Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Ringgit Malaysia at rates of exchange ruling at the date
of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet
date are translated to Ringgit Malaysia at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange
differences arising on translation are recognised in the income statement.
(p) Revenue
Revenue and other income recognition
Revenue arising from the services rendered under the Business Outsourcing & Consultancy Agreement are
recognised in the year services are performed.
Other revenue derived from other services are recognised based on services performed to date.
Revenue from disposal of quoted investments is recognised upon the sale of shares.
Rental income and interest income are recognised on an accrual basis.
Dividend income is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established.
(q) Expenses
(i) Operating lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the income statement as an
integral part of the total lease payments made.
(ii) Interest expense
All interest and other costs incurred in connection with borrowings are expensed as incurred. The
interest component of finance lease payments is recognised in the income statement so as to give a
constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability at the end of each accounting period.

The Company entered a loan agreement with Jia Yu Home Entertainment Sdn. Bhd. (“Jia Yu”), a subsidiary of Cosmos
Discovery Sdn. Bhd., an associate of the Group. The loan is to enable Jia Yu to have access to the international market
through an existing Content Distribution Infrastructure. In the previous financial year, the Company had restructured
the repayment schedule with Jia Yu that the loan was repayable in eight annual instalments commencing from 23
December 2012. However, Jia Yu has defaulted on the repayment. On 3 September 2013, the Company has terminated
the said loan agreement and, therefore, the loan is repayable on demand.
On 20 January 2014, Jia Yu has received an order for winding up by the High Court. However, management has not
provided for allowance for doubtful debts as the loan is a back to back arrangement with Ministry of Finance (Note 12).

We have audited the financial statements of Multimedia Development Corporation Sdn. Bhd., which comprise the

Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements
The Directors of the the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements so as to give a true and
fair view in accordance with Private Entity Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965
in Malaysia. The Directors are also responsible 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 our judgment, 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 the 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.
