    2 BASIS FOR PREPARATION (continued)

    (b) in February 2011, the Board of Directors of FGVH approved a corporate reorganisation to list its Sugar Business on the main market of Bursa malaysia Securities Berhad. the corporate reorganisation incorporated the following transactions:

    (ii) Declaration of special dividends on 2 march 2011:

    – by mSm amounting to Rm300.0 million to its shareholder, FGVS;

    – by KGFP amounting to Rm35.0 million to its shareholders, FGVH and FHB;

    (ii) incorporation of mSm malaysia Holdings Berhad (mSm or the company) on 10 march 2011 to be the listing vehicle;

    (iii) Pre-listing Restructuring on 20 may 2011:

    – Sale of chuping cane Division including certain assets and liabilities to KGFP for a purchase consideration of Rm108.0 million, which was satisfied through the issuance of 25.4 million new KGFP shares at an issue price of Rm4.18 per share.FGVPnominatedFGVHtoreceiveKGFP’sshares.Subsequenttothis,FGVHownedaneffective74.5%equityinterest in KGFP

    – acquisition of the entire equity interest in mSm and KGFP by mSm (acquisition) for a purchase consideration of Rm1,231.0 million and Rm792.0 million respectively to be satisfied by issuance of a total of 578.0 million new mSm shares at issue price of Rm3.50 per share.

    (iv) listing of mSm in Bursa malaysia Securities Berhad on 28 June 2011.

    this business combination above involving entities under common control was accounted for using the predecessor accounting method. Under the predecessor method, the assets and liabilities of the combined entities are incorporated into the consolidated financial statements at the pre-combination carrying amounts recorded by the highest entity that has common control for which consolidated financial statements are prepared, without making any further fair value adjustments at the date of the combination. in addition, in applying the predecessor method, these transactions are assumed to have taken place in the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2010, which represents the earliest set of financial statements presented. the difference between the cost of acquisition and the carrying amounts of the net assets acquired amounting to Rm618,613,000 was taken directly to reorganisation deficit.

    (c) as part of the Pre-listing Restructuring undertaken by FGVH, certain selected assets and liabilities of chuping cane Division were not transferred to form part of the Group.

    the analysis of the excluded assets and liabilities, which were not transferred, is as follows:

    RM’000

    Property, plant and equipment 42,985Other assets (1,944)Deferred tax liability (11,342)

    excluded net assets 29,699

    in accordance with the application of predecessor method, these excluded assets and liabilities are not deemed to be part of the Group from the date of the earliest financial statements presented.

    2 BASIS FOR PREPARATION (continued)

    (d) the acquisition mentioned in note 2(a) was accounted for by FGVH as a purchase of business and the purchase price was therefore allocated to the identifiable net assets and liabilities including contingent liabilities acquired based on their fair values at the date of the acquisition.

    the total purchase price exceeded the fair value of the identifiable net assets and liabilities and resulted in goodwill on acquisition of Rm576.2 million as indicated below:

    (f) although mSm malaysia Holdings Berhad was only incorporated on 10 march 2011, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Group had always been in existence in its current form and the prior period comparative presented accordingly. For the purpose of the preparation of the comparative financial information for the year ended 31 December 2010, the subsidiaries are regarded as a group, which have been carved-out of the historical consolidated financial statements of FGVH, the parent company which controlled the subsidiaries during that period. Refer to note 3(a) for the details of the basis of consolidation of the financial statements of the Group.

    2 BASIS FOR PREPARATION (continued)

    (g) the financial statements of the Group and company have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise indicated in the individual policy statements in note 3 to the financial statements.

    (h) the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the companies act, 1965 and Financial Reporting Standards (FRS), the maSB approved accounting Standards in malaysia for entities Other than Private entities.

    (i) the preparation of financial statements in conformity with the companies act, 1965 and Financial Reporting Standards, the maSB approved accounting Standards in malaysia for entities Other than Private entities requires the Directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. actual results could differ from these estimates.

    the preparation of the above financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. it also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. the areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 5.

    the adoption of the above new/revised standards and interpretations did not have a significant financial impact on the Group and company and did not result in substantial changes in the Group’s and company’s policies except for Revised FRS 101 and amendment to FRS 7. the principal effects resulted from the adoption of Revised FRS 101 and amendment to FRS 7 are discussed below:

    • Revised FRS 101 “Presentation of Financial Statements” (effective from 1 January 2011) clarifies that an entity shallpresent an analysis of other comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements, and

    the Group will apply this standard from financial period beginning 1 January 2012.

    • IC Interpretation 19 “Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments” provides clarificationwhen an entityrenegotiates the terms of a financial liability with its creditor and the creditor agrees to accept the entity’s shares or other equity instruments to settle the financial liability fully or partially. a gain or loss, being the difference between the carrying value of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued, shall be recognised in profit or loss. entities are no longer permitted to reclassify the carrying value of the existing financial liability into equity with no gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

    the principal effects resulting from the adoption of mFRS 9, amendment to mFRS 101, amendment to mFRS 119, mFRS 13, mFRS 141, mFRS 10 and Revised mFRS 127 are discussed below:

    • MFRS9‘Financialinstruments–classificationandmeasurementoffinancialassetsandfinancialliabilities’(effectivefrom1 January 2013) replaces the multiple classification and measurement models in mFRS 139 with a single model that has only two classification categories: amortised cost and fair value. the basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

    the accounting and presentation for financial liabilities and for derecognising financial instruments has been relocated from mFRS 139, without change, except for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss (FVtPl). entities with financial liabilities designated at FVtPl recognise changes in the fair value due to changes in the liability’s credit risk directly in other comprehensive income (Oci). there is no subsequent recycling of the amounts in Oci to profit or loss, but accumulated gains or losses may be transferred within equity.

    the guidance in mFRS 9 on impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting continues to apply.

    the adoption of mFRS 9 will result in additional disclosure requirements for the Group.

    • MFRS13‘FairValueMeasurement’(effectivefrom1January2013)aimstoimproveconsistencyandreducecomplexitybyproviding a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across mFRSs. the requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards. the enhanced disclosure requirements are similartothoseinMFRS7‘Financialinstruments:Disclosures’,butapplytoallassetsandliabilitiesmeasuredatfairvalue,not just financial ones.

    the adoption of mFRS 13 will result in additional disclosure requirements for the Group.

    3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    the principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of financial statements are set out below. these policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

    (a) Basis of consolidation

    the consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the company and all its subsidiaries made up to the end of year. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. the existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

    the restructuring of the Group during the period involved a share for share exchange, which introduced a new holding company, mSm malaysia Holdings Berhad. the relative rights of the former shareholder, ie FGVH were not altered and this restructuring has been accounted for using the predecessor method of accounting.

    Under the predecessor method of accounting, the results of entities or businesses under common control are presented as if the merger had been effected throughout the current and previous financial years or from the date when these entities came under the control of the common controlling party (if shorter). the assets and liabilities combined are accounted for based on the carrying amounts from the perspective of the common control shareholder at the date of transfer. On consolidation, the difference between the carrying value of the investment in the subsidiaries over the nominal value of the shares acquired is taken to merger relief reserve and regarded as a non-distributable reserve. the difference between the cost of acquisition and the carrying amounts of the net assets acquired is taken directly to reorganisation deficit.

    although mSm malaysia Holdings Berhad was only incorporated on 10 march 2011, the consolidated financial statements has been prepared as if the Group had always been in existence in its current form and the prior period comparative presented accordingly. For the purpose of the preparation of the comparative financial information for the year ended 31 December 2010, the subsidiaries are regarded as a group, which have been carved-out of the historical consolidated financial statements of FGVH, the parent company which controlled the subsidiaries during that period.

    the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

    intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated, unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

    the purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of the non-controlling interests. the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary acquired is recorded as goodwill. if the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss.

    the consideration transferred for acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. the consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

    3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

    (a) Basis of consolidation (continued)

    non-controlling interests is the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group measures any non-controlling interests in the acquiree at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. at the end of reporting period, non-controlling interests consists of amount calculated on the date of combinations and its share of changes in the subsidiary’s equity since the date of combination.

    the gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary is the difference between net disposal proceeds and the Group’s share of its net assets as of the date of disposal including the cumulative amount of any exchange differences or other reserves that relate to the subsidiary and is recognised in profit or loss.

    all earnings and losses of the subsidiary are attributed to the parent and the non-controlling interests, even if the attribution of losses to the non-controlling interests results in a debit balance in the shareholders’ equity. Profit or loss attributed to non-controlling interests for prior years is not restated.

    (b) Investment in subsidiaries

    in the company’s financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are shown at cost. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount in accordance with note 3(k).

    On disposal of the subsidiaries, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is charged/credited to the profit or loss.

    (c) Non-controlling interests

    For purchases or disposals from or to non-controlling interests, the accretion or dilution of the Group’s interests is treated as an equity transaction between the subsidiary and its shareholders. the difference between the Group’s share of net assets immediately before and immediately after the change in stake and any consideration received or paid is adjusted to or against the Group’s retained earnings.

    3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

    (d) Intangible assets

    (i) Goodwill

    Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities over the group’s share of the fair value of their identifiable net assets including contingent liabilities at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition in respect of a subsidiary is included in the consolidated statement of financial position as intangible assets, or if arising in respect of an associate or jointly controlled entity, is included in investments in associate or jointly controlled entity.

    Separately recognised goodwill is tested annually for impairment or if events or circumstances occur indicating that impairment may exist and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

    Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. the allocation is made to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.

    (ii) Brand name

    Theacquiredbrandrelatingtoasugarbrand‘Prai’wasrecognisedatfairvalueattheacquisitiondate.Thebrandhasafinite useful life and is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. amortisation is calculated using the straight line method over the expected life of the brand of 20 years.

    (e) Financial assets

    Classification

    the Group considers the classification of their financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables. the classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

    (i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

    Derivative financial instruments

    Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value.

    the method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and the nature of the item being hedged. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are classified as held for trading.

    (ii) Loans and receivables

    loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. they are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as non-current assets.

    Recognition and measurement

    Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date – the date on which the Group commit to purchase or sell the asset. all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

    3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

    (f) Impairment of financial assets

    Assets carried at amortised cost

    the Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a‘lossevent’)andthatlossevent(orevents)hasanimpactontheestimatedfuturecashflowsofthefinancialassetorgroupof financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

    the criteria that the Group uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include:

    – Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor

    – a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments

    – the Group, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, granting to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider

    – it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation

    – the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties, or

    – Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio, including:

    (a) adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the portfolio, and

    (b) national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the portfolio.

    the Group first assess whether objective evidence of impairment exists. the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. the asset’s carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. if a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. as a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.

    if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

    3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

    (g) Financial liabilities

    Financial liabilities within the scope of FRS 139 are recognised on the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

    Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, plus, in the case of financial liabilities other than derivatives, directly attributable transactions costs.

    Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives, if any, which are measured at fair value.

    For financial liabilities other than derivatives, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss. net gains or losses on derivatives include exchange differences.

    a financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

    (h) Property, plant and equipment

    Property, plant and equipment are initially stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. cost also include borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset.

    Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the costs of the item can be measured reliably. all other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

    Freehold land is not depreciated as it has an infinite useful life and assets under construction are not depreciated until when the assets are ready for their intended use.

    Property, plant and equipment are depreciated a straight line basis to write off the cost of each asset to their residual values over their estimated useful lives.

    (h) Property, plant and equipment (continued)

    Principal annual rates used are summarised as follows:

    leasehold land 66 – 99 yearsBuildings 5 – 20 yearsPlant and machinery 3 – 42 yearsFurniture, fittings, equipment and motor vehicles 3 – 11 years

    the assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date.

    Depreciation on property, plant and equipment ceases at the earlier of derecognition and classification as held for sale. Depreciation on assets under construction commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

    at each statement of financial position date, the Group assess whether there is any indication of impairment. if such an indication exists, an asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. See significant accounting policies note 3(k) on impairment of non-financial assets. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount of the assets and are included in profit or loss.

    (i) Biological assets

    Planting development costs comprises new planting development costs which are accounted for under the capital maintenance method. Under the capital maintenance method, development costs incurred (for example land clearing and upkeep of trees) up to the maturity period is capitalised and not amortised, and are shown as a non-current asset net of accumulated impairment losses. Replanting expenses are charged to profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

    When the planted area is replanted with a different crop, the previously capitalised development costs is expensed off in the profit or loss and a new planting development costs in respect of the new crop is capitalised.

    Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the asset is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. See significant accounting policies note 3(k) on impairment of non-financial assets.

    (j) Inventories

    inventories which consist of raw sugar, refined sugar, work-in-progress and consumables are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value.

    cost is determined on the weighted average cost basis. Raw material cost comprises the landed cost of goods purchased and in the case of work-in-progress and finished goods, includes materials, direct labour, other direct charges and an appropriate proportion of factory overheads. consumables comprise the actual purchase costs.

    net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less selling and distribution costs and all other estimated cost to completion.

    (k) Impairment of non-financial assets

    assets that have an indefinite useful life including goodwill are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or when events or circumstances occur indicating that impairment may exist. Property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets, including intangible assets with definite useful lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. an impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. the impairment loss is charged to the profit or loss. the recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). impaired assets are reviewed for possible reversal of impairment at each reporting date.

    (l) Income taxes

    income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the statement of financial position date.

    Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised.

    Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. Deferred tax is recognised in the profit or loss, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in reserve, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in reserve.

    Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences that arise from initial recognition of assets and liabilities, at initial recognition or upon subsequent measurement, that at the time of transaction, affect neither accounting profit not taxable profit.

    tax benefits from reinvestment allowance are recognised when the tax credit is utilised and no deferred tax asset is recognised when the tax credit is available.

    (m) Foreign currencies

    Functional and presentation currency

    items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). the financial statements are presented in Ringgit malaysia (Rm), which is the Group and company’s functional and presentation currency.

    Transactions and balances

    Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

    Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the income statement within‘otheroperatingexpenses’.Foreignexchangegainsandlossesrelatedtoforeigncurrencyforwardcontractsarepresentedintheincomestatementwithin‘other(losses)/gains–net’.

    (n) Revenue recognition

    Revenue comprises the invoiced value for the sale of goods, net of sales taxes, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group.

    Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods, when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer.

    Subsidy receivable from the Government of malaysia for the goods sold relates to the difference between estimated market price and the controlled price determined by the Government for sale of refined sugar in the domestic market. the subsidy is agreed with the Government on an annual basis and is credited to the income statement and recognised as part of revenue in the accounting period in which the corresponding sales of goods are recognised.

    interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continue unwinding the discount as interest income. interest income on impaired loan and receivables are recognised using the original effective interest rate.

    Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive is established.

    (o) Dividend distribution

    Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when proposed or declared before the statement of financial position date. a dividend proposed or declared after the statement of financial position date, but before the financial statements are authorised for issue, is not recognised as a liability at the statement of financial position date.

    (p) Cash and cash equivalents

    cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

    For the purposes of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalent are presented excluding fixed deposits pledged to secure banking facilities.

    (q) Leases

    Operating leases

    leases of assets where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on the straight line basis over the period of the lease period.

    When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place.

    initial direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging operating leases are recognised in profit or loss when incurred.

    Payment for rights to use land and buildings over a predetermined period, if meets the requirement of an operating lease, is classified as prepaid lease payments and is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. the prepaid lease payments are amortised on a straight line basis over lease periods ranging from 15 to 49 years.

    (q) Leases (continued)

    Finance lease

    leases of asset where the Group assumes substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are classified as finance leases.

    assets acquired by way of finance leases are stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair values and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. the corresponding liability is included in the statement of financial position as finance lease liabilities under term loans. in calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments, the discount factor used is the interest rate implicit in the lease, when it is practicable to determine; otherwise, the incremental borrowing rate is used.

    lease payments are apportioned between the finance costs and the reduction of the outstanding liability. Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total leasing commitments and the fair value of the assets acquired, are recognised as an expense in profit or loss over the term of the relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period.

    (r) Employee benefits

    (i) Short-term employee benefits

    Wages, salaries, paid annual leave, paid sick leaves, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are recognised as expenses in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

    (ii) Defined contribution plan

    Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee services in the current and preceding financial years. Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss as incurred.

    as required by law, companies in malaysia make such contributions to the employees Provident Fund (ePF).

    a subsidiary also provides additional post-employment benefits to factory workers as provided under a collective agreement between the subsidiary and the malayan Sugar manufacturing company Bhd employees’ Union as well as to other employees. contributions are made to the malayan Sugar manufacturing company Bhd Provident Fund, which is a defined contribution plan set up by the subsidiary on the fulfillment of conditions of entitlement. the fund is administered by trustees appointed by the subsidiary. contributions to the fund are charged to the income
