Financial Review The Group incurred a lower loss position of RM 2.19 million during the financial year ended 31 March 2015
as compared to the previous financial year’s loss of RM 5.21 million. The lower loss recorded was mainly due
to improved operational efficiency, gain on disposal of assets, written back of liabilities no longer

41.66 million as compared to the previous financial year’s revenue of RM 48.81 million.

Expand into new market into new market to increase profitability Investigate alternative suppliers (account payable) to lower cost of stock. Investing in higher returning products. Target customers more effectively and focus more on their marketing and promotion activities to
increase their customers’ base. Focus more on the products, which have less market competition. The distribution expenses must be decreased and some of their product lines must be scrutinized for
improvement. Increasing inventory turnover by offering more promotion on products to customers.
Recommandations
Overall, the position of KFB is not good with increased liquidity problem management
of working capital, which may cause investors to go elsewhere if the profitability remain
decreasing, the group could face real cash flow problem in the future unless it starts
generating more revenue and runs more efficiently.
