ANNUAL REPORT 2015
252670-P
Dear Valued Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of
Directors, it is my pleasure
to present the Company’s
Annual Report and the Audited
Financial Statements for the
ńancial year ended
30 September 2015.
Financial Review
For the ńancial year under review, the revenue of the Group for
the year was recorded at RM1.635 billion which was a slight dip
by 7.5% as compared to the revenue of RM1.767 billion achieved
in the previous year. The market conditions during the year
continued to be difćult and our growth was affected by the
higher cost of living and the impact of the Goods and Services
Tax implementation. Correspondingly, the pro´t before tax was
RM24.854 million, which was lower than the pro´t before tax of
RM38.070 million recorded in the previous year, translating to
an earnings per share of 18.54 sen. The drop was due to lower
revenue recorded.
The Group’s balance sheet remained healthy with cash and cash
equivalents of RM160.627 million, while shareholders’ equity
increased 2.2% to RM476.013 million from RM465.71 million in the
previous year.
Delivering Shareholders’ Value
The Board maintained its stance to reward its shareholders for
their strong support all these years, in spite of the current market
condition. The Board has proposed to maintain the dividend
payout of a ´rst and ńal single tier dividend of 3.75 sen per
ordinary share for the ńancial year 2015.
The proposed dividend will be subject to the shareholders’
approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Operational Review
The Group continues to expand its business by strategically
identifying potential locations for new outlets for The Store and
Pacić brands. The Store will be opening two new outlets in this
year which will be located at M3 Mall, Setapak, Kuala Lumpur and
Jerantut, Pahang. Pacić will be spreading its wings to open its
10th outlet to the community of Selayang in Selangor at Selayang
Star City Mall in this year as well. In line with its objective of
keeping ahead of its competition, the outlet will introduce its
Premier Stores in a Boutique Counter Concept which provides
a shopping ambience with comfort, convenience, variety and
modern shopping lifestyle.
The Group is also undergoing a continuing programme to
renovate, refurbish and upgrade the existing outlets. During the
year, renovation of The Store Klang has been completed. The
Store Taman Tun Aminah has also been upgraded with a great
new image. The outlets are now more spacious with roomier
walkways, offering a more conducive shopping environment to
bring new lifestyle and shopping experience to the surrounding
community.
At the same time, the introduction of a brand new eco concept
of Market Place at The Store Taman Tun Aminah provides more
premium items of local and imported products from fresh items
to confectionaries and groceries.
With the rapid advancement of social media communications,
smart phones and tablets, the Group has achieved another great
milestone to carry out its promotion activities via WeChat &
other popular social medias.
During the year, The Store and Pacić have been selected as
the ofćial launching venues for the Nationwide Price Reduction
Campaign for year 2015 by the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism at The Store Kuantan Parade in
March 2015 and Pacić Taiping Mall in October 2015 respectively.
More than 30,000 daily essential items were offered with up
to 70% discounts throughout the campaign period to ease the
burden of customers to combat with the rising cost of living.
The Board continues to uphold our commitment to undertake
responsible practices which focuses on sustainability and good
Corporate Governance. The Group has put in efforts towards the
well-being of its employees, community and environment and
strives to balance its social responsibility to the society with its
business objectives and perform with greater accountability.
The corporate social responsibility initiatives are set out
separately in the Statement on Corporate Social Responsibility
in this Annual Report.
Strategic Outlook
We brace ourselves for another tough year in 2016 and we
take cognizance of the potential challenges ahead of us. These
challenges include the current slide in crude oil prices, weakening
Ringgit, higher inµation, aftermath of GST implementation since
last year 2015. All these have increased the cost of production
and affect all in the industries, indirectly affecting our Group’s
bottom-line.
The Group will continue to pursue increased market share by
broadening our product range to cater for the market trends
and review pricing strategies for the coming year. As part of
our growth strategy, the Group will continue its expansion with
convenient and strategically located outlets nationwide.
We remain committed to the continuing success of the Group
and are focused on delivering another pro´table year whilst
maintaining our commitment to safety and the environment and
to responsibly serve the needs of the people in Malaysia.
Acknowledgement
The strength of the Group rests with its strong leadership
supported by a loyal and united workforce who have been with
the Group through thick and thin. It is my sincere hope that
these strengths are carried through in the future and to bring the
Group to greater heights.
My sincere gratitude and heartfelt thanks to our loyal
shareholders as well as our customers, suppliers and business
associates for their continuing invaluable trust and unwavering
con´dence in our Group over the past years. I would also like
to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Directors for their
valuable advice, contributions and commitment in leading the
Group.
Thank you.

practices and to ensure its effectiveness and relevance to the Board’s objectives.

The Board has established evaluation on an annual basis of independent directors to ensure compliance with the
requirements of independent directors as set out in the Listing Requirements and the effectiveness and contribution of
independent directors. The independent Directors play a pivotal role in corporate accountability and provide unbiased
views and impartially to the Board’s deliberation and decision making process.
The Board is satisfied with the level of independence demonstrated by the 4 independent non-Executive Directors and
their ability to provide objective judgement to the Board, which mitigate conflict of interest and undue influence from
interested parties.
In line with the Code, the Board adopted the Code’s recommendation in which the tenure of an independent director
should not exceed a cumulative term of nine (9) years. Upon completion of 9 years, the independent director will be
re-designated as non-independent director. In the event such director is to be retained as an Independent director, the
Board will have to justify and obtain shareholders’ approval.
The NC and the Board have deliberated and hold the view that a director’s independence cannot be determined solely
with reference to the tenure of service. The length of their services on the Board does not in any way interfere with
their exercise of independent judgment and ability to act in the best interest of the Company. The continued tenure of
independent directors also brings stability to the Board and the Company benefits from Directors who have, over time
gained valued insight into the Group’s operation and the industry.
Thus, the independence of the independent Directors namely, Dato’ Sri Md Kamal Bin Bilal, Dato’ Dr Kardin Bin Haji Shukor,
Mr Yeoh Chong Keng and Mr Lim Gin Chuan have been reviewed and it is recommended that they continue to act as
independent Directors subject to the shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming AGM based on the following justifications:
a)
All of them continue to fulfill the criteria under the definition of an independent director as set out in the Listing
Requirements.
b)
They have never transacted or entered into any transactions with, nor provided any services to the Company or
its subsidiaries, within the scope and meaning as set forth in the Listing Requirements.
c)
They have not been offered or granted any options by the Group, nor any other incentives or benefits of whatever
nature had been paid to them by the Company,
The roles and responsibilities of the Chairman and Managing Director are distinct and separated to ensure there is
an appropriate balance of power and authority with clear division of responsibility and accountability. Therefore, the
Company has an independent non-Executive Director as a Chairman who does not have any relationship with the existing
Managing Director. The role of the Chairman is primarily leading and managing the Board while the Managing Director,
with the assistance of Executive Directors and a team of managements is generally responsible for the development and
implementation of strategy and its day-to-day operations of the Group.
The Board does not consider it necessary to nominate a recognized senior independent non-executive director to whom
any concerns may be conveyed, in view of the present independent element of the Board composition and the segregation
of the roles of the Chairman and Managing Director.
The Board endeavors to meet at least 4 times a year, at quarterly intervals which are scheduled well in advance at the
commencement of the financial year to help facilitate the Directors planning their meeting schedule for the year.
The Board is satisfied with the level of time commitment given by the Directors towards fulfilling their roles and
responsibilities which is evidenced by the satisfactory attendance records of the directors at Board meetings and Board
Committee meetings during the financial year under review. The Board expects that the Directors will serve on the boards
of other companies only to the extent that such services do not detract from the Director’s ability to devote the necessary
time and attention to the Company.
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
252670-P
Details of the Directors’ remuneration are set out in applicable band of RM50,000 which comply with Listing Requirements.
Whilst the Code has prescribed for disclosure of individual director’s remuneration package, the Board is of the view that
transparency and accountability aspects of CG in respect of the director’s remuneration are appropriately and adequately
addressed by the band disclosure method adopted by the Board.

To ensure that the Directors have time to focus and fulfill their roles and responsibilities effectively and in line with the
Listing Requirements, all the Directors do not hold more than 5 directorships in public listed companies.

All the Directors have complied with the minimum 50% requirement on attendance at Board meetings as provided for in
the Listing Requirements.
There is no time specification fixed for each Director to be committed to the Company as the Board places more emphasis
on and is results oriented. Anyhow, the Directors are still required to update the Company Secretary on their other
directorships from time to time. The Board is assured that its members should be able to fulfil his/her commitment to the
Company in spite of any new directorship, as not all companies require the presence of the board in its meetings.
The Board recognizes the importance of training as a continuous education process for the Directors in order to ensure
that the Directors stay abreast of the latest development and changes in law and regulations, business environment and
new challenges to enable them to fulfill their responsibilities and to discharge their duties effectively.
The training needs of the Directors are evaluated and assessed by the Board. The Directors are also encouraged to
evaluate their own training needs on a continuous basis and to determine the relevant programmes, seminar, workshops
or forum available that would best enable them to enhance their knowledge and contributions to the Board.
During the financial year under review, the Directors of the Company have attended various training programmes, seminars,
conferences and talks with relevant topics as follows:

Deemed Interest:
Chang Yen Huei
By virtue of their shareholding in the Company, both Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Tang Yeam Soon and Puan Sri Datin Sri Khor Guik
Lee are also deemed interested in the shares of all the subsidiaries of the Company, to the extent that the Company has
interests.
Save as disclosed above, none of the other directors holding ofće at 30 September 2015 had any interests in the Company
and its related corporations during the ńancial year.
DIRECTORS’ BENEFITS
Since the end of the previous ńancial year, no director of the Company has received or become entitled to receive any
bene´t (other than a bene´t included in the aggregate amount of emoluments received or due and receivable by the
directors shown in the ńancial statements) by reason of a contract made by the Company or a related corporation with a
director or with a ´rm of which the director is a member, or with a company in which the director has a substantial ńancial
interest, other than those related party transactions disclosed in the notes to the ńancial statements.
During and at the end of the ńancial year, no arrangements subsisted to which the Company is a party, with the objects
of enabling directors of the Company to acquire bene´ts by means of the acquisition of shares in or debentures of the
Company or any other body corporate.

ANNUAL REPORT 2015
OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION
Before the ńancial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps:
(i)
to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of provision
for doubtful debts and satiséd themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate
provision had been made for doubtful debts, and
(ii)
to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their value as shown in the accounting records in the
ordinary course of business had been written down to an amount which they might be expected 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, and
(ii)
that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the ńancial statements of the Group and of the
Company misleading, and
(iii)
that would render any amount stated in the ńancial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading, and
(iv)
which have arisen which render adherence to the existing methods of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group
and of the Company misleading or inappropriate.
At the date of this report, there does not exist:
(i)
any charge on the assets of the Group and of the Company that has arisen since the end of the ńancial year which
secures the liabilities of any other persons, and
(ii)
any contingent liability in respect of the Group and of the Company that has arisen since the end of the ńancial
year.
No contingent liability or other liability of the Group and of the Company has become enforceable, or is likely to become
enforceable, within the period of twelve months after the end of the ńancial 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.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Grant Thornton, have expressed their willingness to continue in ofće.

position as at 30 September 2015 of the Group and of the Company, and their statements of comprehensive income,
statements of changes in equity and statements of cash µows for the ńancial year then ended, and a summary of
signićant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 51 to 101.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of these ńancial statements so as to give a true and
fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial 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 ńancial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these ńancial 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 ńancial statements are
free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the ńancial
statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement
of the ńancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control
relevant to the entity’s preparation of the ńancial 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
ńancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufćient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the ńancial statements give a true and fair view of the ńancial position of the Group and of the Company
as at 30 September 2015 and of their ńancial performance and cash µows for the ńancial 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 malaysian subsidiaries of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the
provisions of the Act,
(b)
We have considered the accounts and the auditors’ reports of all the subsidiaries of which we have not acted as
auditors, which are indicated in Note 6 to the ńancial statements,
(c)
We are satiséd that the accounts of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the Company’s ńancial
statements are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the ńancial
statements of the Group and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required by us for those
purposes, and
(d)
The auditors’ reports on the accounts of the subsidiaries did not contain any qualićation or any adverse comment
made under Section 174(3) of the Act.

CORPORATE INFORMATION
General
The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and listed on the Main
Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
The registered ofće of the Company is located at Plaza 138, Suite 18.03, 18th Floor, 138 Jalan Ampang, 50450 Kuala
Lumpur.
The principal place of business of the Company is located at Lot 328, Jalan 51A/223, Sek. 51A, 46100 Petaling Jaya,
The ńancial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the
directors on 21 January 2016.
Principal Activities
The principal activities of the Company are investment holding and the provision of management services.
The principal activities of the subsidiaries are indicated in Note 6 to the ńancial statements.
There have been no signićant changes in the nature of these activities during the ńancial year.
2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1
Statement of Compliance
The ńancial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with applicable
Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”), International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and
the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
2.2
Basis of Measurement
The ńancial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention
unless otherwise indicated in the summary of accounting policies under Note 3.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and
services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on
the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal
market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market
for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-ńancial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic bene´ts by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant
that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufćient data
are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use
of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the ńancial statements are categorised
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is signićant to their
fair value measurement as a whole:
64
-
Level 1
-
Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2
-
Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is signićant to their fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
-
Level 3
-
Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is signićant to their fair value
measurement is unobservable.

The initial application of the above standards is not expected to have any ńancial impacts to the ńancial
statements upon adoption, except as mentioned below:
MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
MFRS 15 replaces the guidance in MFRS 111 Construction Contracts, MFRS 118 Revenue, IC Int 13 Customer
Loyalty Programmes, IC Int 15 Agreements for Construction of Real Estate, IC Int 18 Transfers of Assets
from Customers and IC Int 131 Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. Upon adoption
of MFRS 15, it is expected that the timing of revenue recognition might be different as compared with the
current practices.
The adoption of MFRS 15 will result in a change in accounting policy. The Group and the Company is currently
assessing the ńancial impact of adopting MFRS 15.
2.6
Signićant Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of ńancial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

ANNUAL REPORT 2015
252670-P
252670-P
2.6.1
Critical Judgements
Critical judgement made by management in the process of applying accounting policies that have a
signićant effect on the amount recognised in the ńancial statements is in respect of classićation between
investment properties and owner-occupied properties.
The Group determines whether a property qualiés as an investment property, and has developed criteria in
making that judgement. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or
both. Therefore, the Group considers whether a property generates cash µows largely independently of the
other assets held by the Group.
Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another
portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.
The Group accounts for the portions separately if the portions could be sold separately (or leased out
separately under a ńance lease). If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is an investment
property only if an insignićant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or
for administrative purposes.
Judgement is made on an individual property basis to determine whether ancillary services are so signićant
that a property does not qualify as an investment property.
2.6.2
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of
the reporting period that have a signićant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next ńancial year are discussed below:
(i)
Useful lives of depreciable assets
Plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.
Management estimates the useful lives of the plant and equipment to be 5 to 20 years. Changes in
the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives
and residual values of the plant and equipment. Therefore, future depreciation charges could be
revised.
(ii)
Impairment of plant and equipment
The Group performs an impairment review as and when there are impairment indicators to ensure
that the carrying value of the plant and equipment does not exceed its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount represents the present value of the estimated future cash µows expected to
arise from operations. Therefore, in arriving at the recoverable amount, management exercises
judgement in estimating the future cash µows, growth rate and discount rate.
(iii)
Impairment of goodwill
The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least once a year or more frequently if events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. This requires an estimation
of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated.
Estimating value in use requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash µows
from the cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the
present value of those cash µows.
(iv)
Impairment of investment in subsidiaries
Investment in subsidiaries is assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether
there is any indication of impairment. If such an indication exists, an estimation of the investment’s
recoverable amount is required.
Estimating the recoverable amount requires management to make an estimate of the expected
future cash µows from the subsidiaries and also choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate
the present value of those cash µows.
(v)
Inventories
The management reviews for slow-moving and obsolete inventories. This review requires judgements
and estimates. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revision to the valuation of
inventories.
66
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
(vi)
Impairment of loans and receivables
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that
a ńancial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the
Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or signićant ńancial difćulties of
the debtor and default or signićant delay in payments.
Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash µows are
estimated based on historical loss experience of assets with similar credit risk characteristics.
(vii)
Deferred revenue
The Group allocates the consideration received from the sales of goods to the goods sold and
the points issued under its loyalty programme. The consideration allocated to the points issued is
measured at their fair value.
The carrying amount of deferred revenue allocated to the award credits at the end of the reporting
period was RM3,090,573 (2014: RM3,719,442).
3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies adopted by the Group and by the Company are consistent with those
adopted in the previous ńancial years unless otherwise indicated below:
3.1
Basis of Consolidation
(i)
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are those companies in which the Group has a long term equity interest and where it
has power to exercise control over their ńancial and operating activities so as to obtain bene´ts
therefrom.
The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Potential
voting rights are considered when assessing control only when such rights are substantive. The
Group also considers it has de facto power over an investee when, despite not having the majority of
voting rights, it has the current ability to direct the activities of the investee that signićantly affect
the investee’s return.
Investment in subsidiaries is measured in the Company’s statement of ńancial position at cost less
any impairment losses, unless the investment is classiéd as held for sale or distribution. The cost of
investments includes transaction costs.
Upon disposal of investment in a subsidiary, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
its carrying amount is recognised in pro´t or loss.
(ii)
Business combination
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method from the acquisition date,
which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
For new acquisitions, the Group measures the cost of goodwill at the acquisition date as:
•
the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus
•
the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, plus
•
if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in
the acquiree, less
•
the net recognised amount at fair value of the identiáble assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised in pro´t or loss.
For each business combination, the Group elects whether to recognise non-controlling interest in
the acquiree either at fair value, or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identiáble net assets
at the acquisition date.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the
Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
(iii)
Acquisitions of non-controlling interests
The Group treats all changes in its ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss
of control as equity transactions between the Group and its non-controlling interest holders.
Any difference between the Group’s share of net assets before and after the change, and any
consideration received or paid, is adjusted to or against Group reserve.
67
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
252670-P
252670-P
(iv)
Loss of control
Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the
subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the former
subsidiary from the consolidated statement of ńancial position. Any surplus or dećit arising on
the loss of control is recognised in pro´t or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous
subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently it
is accounted for as an equity accounted investee or as an available-for sale ńancial asset depending
on the level of inµuence retained.
(v)
Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the equity in a subsidiary not
attributable directly or indirectly to the equity holders of the Company, are presented in the
consolidated statement of ńancial position and statement of changes in equity within equity,
separately from equity attributable to the owners of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the
results of the Group is presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an
allocation of the pro´t or loss and the comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling
interests and owners of the Company.
Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling
interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a dećit balance.
(vi)
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra
group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated ńancial statements.
3.2
Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of
business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identiáble assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities. Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated
impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but instead, it is reviewed for impairment, annually or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Gains and
losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
3.3
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on the straight line method to write off the cost of each asset
to its residual value over its estimated useful life at the following annual rates:
Leasehold land
Buildings
Machinery and equipment
Furniture, ´xtures and ´ttings
Motor vehicles
Renovation
Amortised over its lease period of 50 - 999 years
2% - 10%
8% - 10%
5% - 20%
20%
5% - 20%
Freehold land is not amortised as it has an inńite life.
Depreciation on capital work in progress commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to
ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the
expected pattern of consumption of the future economic bene´ts embodied in the items of property, plant
and equipment.
Upon the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in pro´t or loss.
3.4
Investment Properties
Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation
or for both. Such properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial
recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses.
68
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
Freehold land is not amortised as it has an inńite life. Buildings are depreciated on the straight line method
to write off the cost to their residual value over their estimated useful lives at 2% per annum while leasehold
properties are amortised over its lease period of 68 to 919 years.
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when they are
permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic bene´t is expected from the disposal. Any gains
or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in pro´t or loss in the year
in which they arise.
3.5
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the
arrangement at the inception date, whether ful´lment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a
specić asset or asset or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly
specić in an arrangement.
Finance lease
A ńance lease which includes hire purchase arrangement, is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks
and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset to the lessee. Title may or may not eventually be transferred.
Minimum lease payments made under ńance leases are apportioned between ńance 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 recognised in ńance costs in the pro´t or loss. Contingent lease payments are
accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease
adjustment is con´rmed.
A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty
that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the
shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Leasehold land which in substance is a ńance lease is classiéd as property, plant and equipment.
Operating Leases
Leases, where the Group does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classiéd
as operating leases and, except for property interest held under operating lease, the leased assets are not
recognised on the statement of ńancial position. Property interest held under an operating lease, which is
held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, is classiéd as investment property.
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in pro´t or loss on a straight-line basis over the term
of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in pro´t or loss as an integral part of the total lease
expense, over the term of the lease. Contingent rentals are charged to pro´t or loss in the reporting period
in which they are incurred.
Leasehold land which in substance is an operating lease is classiéd as prepaid land lease payments.
3.6
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The carrying amounts of non-ńancial assets (except for inventories, deferred tax assets and non-current
assets (or disposal groups) classiéd as held for sale) are reviewed at the end of each reporting period
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s
recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated each period at the
same time.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets
that generates cash inµows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inµows of other
assets or cash-generating units (“CGU”). Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purpose of
goodwill impairment testing, CGU to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at
which impairment testing is performed reµects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal
reporting purposes. The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing,
is allocated to group of CGU that are expected to bene´t from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset of CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of
disposal. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash µows are discounted to their present value
using a pre-tax discount rate that reµects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specić to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognised in pro´t or loss if the carrying amount of an asset or its related CGU
exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
Impairment loss recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated ´rst to reduce the carrying amount of any
goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs) and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets
in the CGU (groups of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.
69
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
252670-P
252670-P
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses in prior
periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the loss has decreased or no
longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine
the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only
to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of
impairment losses are credited to pro´t or loss in the ńancial year in which the reversals are recognised.
3.7
Financial Instruments
3.7.1
Initial recognition and measurement
A ńancial asset or a ńancial liability is recognised in the statement of ńancial position when, and only
when, the Group or the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A ńancial instrument is recognised initially, at its fair value plus, in the case of a ńancial instrument not at
fair value through pro´t or loss, transactions costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue
of the ńancial instrument.
3.7.2
Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement
The Group and the Company categorise ńancial instruments as follows:
Financial assets
(a)
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables category comprises debt instruments that are not quoted in an active market.
Financial assets categorised as loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.
Loans and receivables are classiéd as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later
than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classiéd as non-current.
(b)
Available-for-sale ńancial assets
Available-for-sale category comprises investment in equity and debt securities instruments that are
not held for trading.
Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and
whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost. Other ńancial assets categorised
as available-for-sale are subsequently measured at their fair values with the gain or loss recognised
in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses
arising from monetary items and gains and losses of hedged items attributable to hedge risks of fair
value hedges which are recognised in pro´t or loss. On derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss
recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassiéd from equity into pro´t or loss. Interest
calculated for a debt instrument using the effective interest method is recognised in pro´t or loss.
All ńancial assets are subject to review for impairment.
Financial liabilities
All ńancial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities are classiéd as current liabilities, except for those having maturity dates later than 12
months after the end of the reporting period which are classiéd as non-current.
3.7.3
Financial guarantee contracts
A ńancial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make speciéd payments to reimburse
the holder for a loss it incurs because a speciéd debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with
the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, ńancial guarantee contracts are recognised as income in statement of
comprehensive income over the period of the guarantee. If the debtor fails to make payment relating to
ńancial guarantee contract when it is due and the Group, as the issuer, is required to reimburse the holder
for the associated loss, the liability is measured at the higher of the best estimate of the expenditure required
to settle the present obligation at the reporting date and the amount initially recognised less cumulative
amortisation.
70
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
3.7.4
Offsetting of ńancial instruments
Financial assets and ńancial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of ńancial
position if, and only if, there is currently a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and
there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
3.7.5
Derecognition
A ńancial asset or part of it is derecognised, when and only when the contractual rights to the cash µows
from the ńancial asset expire or the ńancial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or
substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a ńancial asset, the difference between
the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any
new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in
the pro´t or loss.
A ńancial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation speciéd in the contract
is discharged or cancelled or expired. On derecognition of a ńancial liability, the difference between the
carrying amount of the ńancial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration
paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in pro´t or loss.
3.8
Impairment of Financial Assets
All ńancial assets (except for ńancial assets categorised as fair value through pro´t or loss and investment
in subsidiaries) are assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence
of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash µows of
the asset. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised. For an
investment in an equity instrument, a signićant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is an
objective evidence of impairment.
An impairment loss in respect of loans and receivables is recognised in pro´t or loss and is measured as
the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash µows
discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through
the use of an allowance account.
An impairment loss in respect of available-for-sale ńancial assets is recognised in pro´t or loss and is
measured as the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and
amortisation) and the asset’s current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised. Where a
decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale ńancial asset has been recognised in other comprehensive
income, the cumulative loss in other comprehensive income is reclassiéd from equity to pro´t or loss.
An impairment loss in respect of unquoted equity instrument that is carried at cost is recognised in pro´t or
loss and is measured as the difference between the ńancial asset’s carrying amount and the present value
of estimated future cash µows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar ńancial asset.
Impairment losses recognised in pro´t or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classiéd as availablefor-sale is not reversed through pro´t or loss.
3.9
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 insignićant
risk of changes in value, against which bank overdraft balances, if any, are deducted.
3.10
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost represents the invoiced value of goods purchased, and is determined on the ´rst-in, ´rst-out basis.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
3.11
Non-current Assets Held for Sale
Non-current assets are classiéd as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when
the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only
to terms that are usual and customary.
Immediately before classićation as held for sale, the measurement of the non-current assets is brought upto-date in accordance with applicable MFRS. Then, on initial classićation as held for sale, non-current assets
are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

3.12
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is
probable that an outµow of resources embodying economic bene´ts will be required to settle the obligation,
and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting
period and adjusted to reµect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is
material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle
the obligation.
3.13
Income Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic bene´ts will µow to the Group and
to the Company and when the revenue can be reliably measured on the following bases:
(i)
Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable,
net of returns and discounts and is recognised when the signićant risks and rewards of ownership
have been transferred to the customers.
(ii)
Rental income
Rental income is recognised on a time proportion basis over the lease term.
(iii)
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s or the Company’s right to receive payment is
established.
(iv)
Management fee
Management fee is recognised on an accrual basis when services are rendered.
(v)
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the applicable effective interest rate.
(vi)
Revenue on award credits
Revenue on award credits is recognised based on the number of award credits that have been
redeemed in exchange for free or discounted goods, relative to the total number of award credits
expected to be redeemed.
3.14
Employee Bene´ts
Short term bene´ts
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which
the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. Short term accumulating compensated
absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase
their entitlement to future compensated absences, and short term non-accumulating compensated absences
such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.
Deńed contribution plans
As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the national pension scheme, the Employees
Provident Fund (“EPF”). Such contributions are recognised as an expense as incurred.
3.15
Borrowings Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended
use or sale. 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.
Other borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs
consist of interest and other costs that the Group incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.
72
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
3.16
Income Tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in
pro´t or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in
equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the ńancial year,
using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to
tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of ńancial position and their tax bases. Deferred
tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial
recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither
accounting nor taxable pro´t or loss. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be
applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or
on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax
assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable pro´ts will be available
against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax bene´t will
be realised.
Unutilised reinvestment allowance and investment tax allowance, being tax incentives that is not a tax base
of an asset, is recognised as a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that future taxable pro´ts
will be available against which the unutilised tax incentive can be utilised.
3.17
Goods and Services Tax
Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) is a consumption tax based on the value-added concept. GST is imposed on
goods and services at every production and distribution stage in the supply chain including importation of
goods and services, at the applicable tax rate of 6%. Input tax that a company pays on business purchases
is offset against output tax.
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except:
•
where the GST incurred in a purchase of asset or service is not recoverable from the authority, in which
case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item
as applicable; and
•
receivables and payables that are stated with GST inclusive.
The net GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or
payables in the statements of ńancial position.
3.18
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group entities
at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are
translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at historical cost in a foreign currency at the end of the
reporting period are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction
except for those measured at fair value shall be translated at the exchange rate at the date when the fair
value was determined.
Exchange differences arising from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation
of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in pro´t or loss.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in
pro´t or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in
respect of which gains or losses are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
73
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
252670-P
252670-P
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to RM at exchange rates at the end of the
reporting period. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to RM at exchange rates at
the dates of the transactions.
Exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign
translation reserve (“FTR”) in equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the
relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests. When
a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, the signićant inµuence or joint control is lost, the
cumulative amount in the FTR related to the foreign operation is reclassiéd to pro´t or loss as part of the
pro´t or loss on disposal.
When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the
relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group
disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation
while retaining signićant inµuence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is
reclassiéd to pro´t or loss.
In the consolidated ńancial statements, when settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to
a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses
arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and
are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the FTR in equity.
3.19
Share Capital, Share Issuance Expenses and Dividends
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after
deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments.
Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.
Dividends on ordinary shares are accounted for in shareholder’s equity as an appropriation of retained
pro´ts and recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared.
Share premium includes any premiums received upon issuance of share capital. Any transaction costs
associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax
bene´ts.
Costs directly attributable to the issuance of instruments classiéd as equity are recognised as a deduction
from equity.
3.20
Segment Reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may
earn revenue and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of
the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief
operating decision maker, which in this case are the Executive Directors of the Group, to make decisions
about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete ńancial
information is available.
3.21
Contingencies
Where it is not probable that an inµow or an outµow of economic bene´ts will be required, or the amount
cannot be estimated reliably, the asset or the obligation is not recognised in the statements of ńancial
position and is disclosed as a contingent asset or contingent liability, unless the probability of inµow or
outµow of economic bene´ts is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be con´rmed by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent assets or
contingent liabilities unless the probability of inµow or outµow of economic bene´ts is remote.
3.22
Customer Loyalty Award
The Group operates loyalty programme which allows customers to accumulate points when they purchase
products in the Group’s stores. The points can be redeemed for free or discounted goods from the Group’s
stores.
The Group allocates consideration received from the sale of goods to the goods sold and the points issued
that are expected to be redeemed.
The consideration allocated to the points issued is measured at the fair value of the points. It is recognised
as a liability (deferred revenue) in the statement of ńancial position and recognised as revenue when the
points are redeemed, have expired or are no longer expected to be redeemed. The amount of revenue
recognised is based on the number of points that have been redeemed, relative to the total number expected
to be redeemed.

Policy on transfer between levels
The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as at the date of the event or change in
circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the ńancial
year.
Level 2 fair value
Level 2 fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for
the investment properties, either directly or indirectly.
Level 2 fair values of the above properties have been generally derived using the sales comparison approach. Sales
prices of comparable properties in close proximity are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as property
size. The most signićant input into this valuation approach is price per square foot of comparable properties.

ANNUAL REPORT 2015
Impairment test on goodwill
Goodwill arising from business combinations has been allocated to its business segment as its cash generating units
(CGUs).
For annual impairment testing purposes, the recoverable amount of the CGUs is determined based on its valuein-use, which applies a discounted cash µow model using cash µow projections based on ńancial budget and
projections approved by management.
No impairment loss is required for the goodwill as its recoverable amount is in excess of its carrying amount.
The key assumptions on which the management has based on for the computation of value-in-use are as follows:
(i)
Budgeted gross margin
The basis used to determine the value assigned to the budgeted gross margins is the average gross
margin achieved in the period immediately before the budgeted period adjusted for expected efćiency
improvement, market and economic conditions and internal resource efćiency, where applicable.
(ii)
Revenue
The revenue used to calculate the cash inµows from operations was determined after taking into consideration
the historical sales and expected growth rates of the relevant industry which the CGUs are exposed. Values
assigned are consistent with the external sources of information.
(iii)
Discount rate
The discount rate applied to the cash µow projections is based on the weighted average cost of capital rate
of the Group.
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
With regard to the assessment of value-in-use of all CGUs, management believes that no reasonable change in any
of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the units to materially exceed their recoverable
amounts.

by the shareholders will be accounted for in equity as an appropriation of retained pro´ts in the ńancial year
ending 30 September 2016.

Operating lease commitments
(a)
The Group as lessor
The Group has entered into cancellable commercial property leases to earn rental income from its investment
properties and certain properties included under property, plant and equipment. These leases have an
average tenure of 1 to 3 years with an option to renew. The tenants are required to give 2 months’ notice for
the termination of these agreements. The Group does not have any contingent rental arrangements.
(b)
The Group as lessee
The Group leases its premises under non-cancellable operating leases for its operations.
The leases have an average tenure of 3 to 5 years, with an option to renew. Increase in lease payments, if any,
after the expiry dates, are negotiated between the Group and the lessors which will normally reµect market
rentals. None of the above leases includes contingent rentals.
The Group’s future aggregate minimum lease payments under these operating leases are as follows:

The corporate guarantee does not have a determinable effect on the terms of the credit facilities due to the
bank’s requirement of the corporate guarantee as a pre-condition for approving the credit facilities granted to the
subsidiaries. The actual terms of the credit facilities are likely to be the best indicator of “at market” terms and hence
the fair value of the credit facilities are equal to the credit facilities amount received by the subsidiaries. As such,
there is no value on the corporate guarantee to be recognised in the ńancial statements.

Financial risk management
The Group’s ńancial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate resources are available for the
development of the Group’s business whilst managing its credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The
Group operates within clearly deńed guidelines that are approved by the Board and the Group’s policy is
not to engage in speculative transactions.
31.3
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in
ńancial loss to the Group and to the Company. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from
its trade and other receivables. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from advances to its
subsidiaries and ńancial guarantees given.
31.3.1 Trade receivables
The Group’s retail sales are transacted in cash and credit cards. The payments from the credit cards issuing
banks are normally made in 3 days. The Group also lets out its properties for rental and tenants are given 7
days credit term.
The payments of rental by the tenants are monitored on an on-going basis with the result that the Group’s
exposure to bad debts is not signićant.

Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthy customers with good payment
record with the Group. None of the Group’s trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired have
been renegotiated during the ńancial year.
Total impairment loss relates to customers that have ńancial difćulties and have defaulted in repayment.
The net past due receivables amounting to RM2,329,000 (2014: RM1,475,000) are not impaired as the
management is of the view that these debts will be recovered in due course.
As at the end of the reporting period, the Group has no signićant concentration of credit risks.
31.3.2 Financial guarantees
The Company provides unsecured ńancial guarantees to licensed banks in respect of banking facilities
granted to its subsidiaries as disclosed in Note 29.
The Company monitors on an ongoing basis the results of the subsidiaries and their repayments made. As at
the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that these subsidiaries would default on repayment.
31.3.3 Intercompany balances
The Company provides advances to its subsidiaries. The Company monitors the results of the subsidiaries
regularly.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by its carrying amount in the Company’s statement of
ńancial position.
As at the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that the advances to those subsidiaries are not
recoverable. The Company does not specićally monitor the ageing of the advances to subsidiaries.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group and the Company will not be able to meet their ńancial obligations as and
when they fall due. The Group and the Company actively manage their debt maturity pro´le, operating cash µows
and availability of funding so as to ensure that all repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall
prudent liquidity management, the Group and the Company maintain sufćient levels of cash and cash equivalents
to meet their working capital requirements.

Interest rate risk
The Group’s ´xed rate instruments are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes in
interest rates. The Group’s µoating rate instruments are exposed to a risk of change in cash µows due to
changes in interest rates.
The interest rate pro´le of the Group’s and of the Company’s interest bearing ńancial instruments based on
the carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

Sensitivity analysis for ´xed rate instruments
The Group does not account for any ´xed rate ńancial liabilities at fair value through pro´t or loss, and the
Group does not designate derivatives as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model.
Therefore, a change in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would not affect pro´t or loss.
Sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments
An increase of 25 basis point at the end of the reporting period would have reduced pro´t before tax of
the Group and of the Company by RM328,000 (2014: RM394,000) and RM315,000 (2014: RM363,000)
respectively and a corresponding decrease would have an equal but opposite effect. These changes are
considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions. This analysis
assumes that all other variables remain constant.
31.6
Fair value information
The carrying amounts of the Group’s and of the Company’s cash and bank balances, short term receivables
and payables and borrowings as at the end of the reporting period approximate their fair values due to their
short-term nature or that they are µoating rate instruments that are re-priced to market interest rates on or
near the end of the reporting period, except for unquoted shares with carrying amount of RM5,000 (2014:
RM5,000), whereby it is not practicable to reasonably estimate its fair value due to lack of comparable
quoted market prices and available market data for valuation. Therefore, this investment is carried at its
original costs less any impairment loss.
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining the fair value of all ńancial instruments carried at
fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Input that are based on observable market data, either directly or indirectly
Level 3- Input that are not based on observable market data

Policy on transfer between levels
The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as at the date of the event or change in
circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the ńancial
year.
32. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management policy remains unchanged and is to maintain a strong
capital base to support its businesses and maximise shareholders’ value.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions
or expansion of the Group. The Group may adjust the capital structure by issuing new shares, returning capital to
shareholders or adjusting the amount of dividends to be paid to shareholders or selling assets to reduce debts. No
changes were made in the objective, policy and process during the ńancial year under review as compared to the
previous ńancial year.
The lending banks of the Company have imposed a debt covenant that requires the Company to maintain a debt
service coverage ratio (“DSCR”) of 1.5 times. The DSCR is deńed as consolidated available cash µow to the
aggregate of debt payment (principal plus interest) due by the Group for the past twelve months.
The DSCR of the Group during the ńancial year under review is as follows:

33. MATERIAL LITIGATION
On 28 May 2008, The Store (Terengganu) Sdn Bhd (“TST”)¢(a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) had
´led a civil suit in the Kuala Lumpur High Court against ABI Constructions Sdn. Bhd. (“ABI”) due to ABI had
unilaterally terminated the tenancy agreement signed between the two parties and the High Court granted
an interim injunction to TST against ABI, restraining ABI from taking any steps to enter into any tenancy
relationship with any third party in respect of the demised premises. Consequently, the High Court dissolved
the said injunction and ordered an assessment of damages against TST, of which ABI claim for an amount of
RM101,180,550 for alleged damage, an amount which, based on the Company’s solicitor’s opinion, was excessive,
overstated, unjustiéd and unsustainable over a tenancy dispute and that TST had not started its operations in
the demised premises.
On 28 February 2014, the court ruled that ABI has breached the tenancy agreement and ordered to assess the
damage by the Registrar and paid to TST accordingly. However, the specić performance of tenancy claimed
by TST was ruled out by the Court and TST has ´led in an appeal for the specić performance to Court of
Appeal. The case was ´xed for hearing on 6 January 2016 and was subsequently postponed to a later date.

Proposed Retention Of Independent Directors
The proposed Ordinary Resolution No. 7 to 10, if passed, will allow the independent directors to be retained
and continue acting as an independent director to ful´ll the requirements of Paragraph 3.04 of the Main Market
Listing Requirements and in line with the recommendation No. 3.2 and 3.3 of the Malaysian Code on Corporate

Proposed Authority to Allot and Issue Shares Pursuant to Section 132D of the Companies Act, 1965

to 10% of the issued and paid-up capital of the Company for the time being for such purposes as the directors
consider would be in the best interest of the Company. The purpose for the renewal of a general mandate is to
avoid any delay and costs in convening a general meeting to specićally approve such an issue of shares for
any possible fund raising activities (excluding placing of shares) for the purpose of funding future investment
projects, additional working capital etc.
This authority, unless revoked or varied at a general meeting, will expire at the next Annual General Meeting of

General Meeting held on 27 March 2015 and which will lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming Annual General
Meeting.

Proposed Renewal Of Authority For The Company to Purchase Its Own Shares
The proposed adoption of the Ordinary Resolution No.12, if passed, will prepare the Company with a further
option to utilize our ńancial resource more efćiently. It is also intended to stabilize the supply and demand as
well as the Company’s share prices.
The mandate shall continue to be in force until the date of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company
unless earlier revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Company in a general meeting and is subject to
annual renewal.
Further information on this resolution is set out in the Share Buyback Statement dated 25 February 2016,
despatched together with this Annual Report.
iv)
Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate For Existing and Additional Shareholders’ Mandate for Recurrent
Related Party Transactions Of A Revenue Nature
The proposed adoption of the Ordinary Resolution No. 13 & 14, if passed, will enable the Group to enter into
recurrent transactions involving the interests of related parties, which are of a revenue nature and necessary
for the Group’s day-to-day operations, subject to the transactions being carried out in the ordinary course of
business and on terms not to the detriment of the minority shareholders of the Group.
The procurement of the proposed renewal of shareholders’ mandate would reduce substantially administrative
time, effort and expenses associated with the convening of separate general meeting to seek shareholders’
approval as and when potential recurrent related party transactions percentage ratios is equal or exceeds 5% as
prescribed in Chapter 10 of the Listing Requirements.
Further information on these resolutions are set out in the Circular to shareholders dated 25 February 2016,
despatched together with this Annual Report.
