COR P ORATE
PROFI LE
Taliworks Corporation Berhad (Taliworks or the Company) was incorporated in Malaysia on 6 August 1965 as a private
limited company under the name of The Carpet Manufacturing Company (Malaysia) Limited. On 12 November 1968, its
name was changed to F&T Carpets (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd. On 26 February 1974, it was renamed Carpets International
Malaysia Sdn Bhd and on 23 December 1982, it was converted into a public company and assumed the name of Carpets
International Malaysia Berhad (Carpets). It was subsequently listed on the then Second Board of the Kuala Lumpur Stock
Exchange (now known as Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Bursa Securities)) on 27 July 1992. The principal activities
of Carpets were the design, manufacture, distribution and laying of carpets and rugs. These operations ceased in 2002.
On 31 July 2000, Carpets completed the acquisition of the entire equity interest in Sungai Harmoni Sdn Bhd and Taliworks
(Langkawi) Sdn Bhd. These companies are involved in the management, operations and maintenance of water treatment,
supply and distribution facilities. On 27 October 2000, the Company was transferred to the Main Board of Bursa Securities
(which has since been merged with the Second Board into a single board known as Main Market) and subsequently on
24 November 2000, Carpets was renamed Taliworks Corporation Berhad.
Taliworks together with its group of companies employs about 600 employees in Malaysia and the Peoples Republic of
China. The Company is currently listed on the Main Market of Bursa Securities under Trading / Services Sector (Name &
Code: TALIWRK & 8524) with a market capitalisation of approximately RM515 million as at 9 May 2014.
Taliworks, an established company involved in both the water

and waste-related businesses, has expanded its core expertise
to include highway management, construction and engineering,
and wastewater research and technology.
The water treatment, supply and distribution business is

undertaken by Sungai Harmoni Sdn Bhd and Taliworks
(Langkawi) Sdn Bhd, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries.
These two companies manage a total of 6 water treatment
plants with a combined capacity of 1,039.5 million litres per
day.
Taliworks started out in the water management sector in 1987

as a pioneer in the privatisation of the water supply in Malaysia
and today, the water business still leads as the main core
business activity of Taliworks. Since 2004, Taliworks has
diversified its business interests to include the waste
management segment in China and highway toll operations and
maintenance in Malaysia in 2007 through a few strategic
acquisitions.
Taliworks (Langkawi) Sdn Bhd has been granted an

authorisation under Section 192(5) of the Water Services
Industry Act 2006 by the National Water Services Commission
(SPAN) to undertake and carry out the operation and
activities under the Langkawi Water Supply Privatisation
Agreement dated 7 October 1995 and the Supplemental
Agreements dated 4 August 1999, 22 July 2001 and 1 August
2004 effective from 1 February 2013 to 31 October 2020.
BUSINESS BACKGROUND
WATER TREATMENT, SUPPLY

AND DISTRIBUTION
Taliworks core water business is in the privatised water supply
sector which includes an operation and maintenance contract
(expiring in January 2030) for the Sungai Selangor Water
Treatment Works Phase 1 (SSP1) that supplies to large parts
of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur and a concession (expiring in
October 2020) for the water supply and distribution system in
Langkawi, Kedah.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
In the waste management business sector, Taliworks has four
companies established in the Peoples Republic of China that
are involved in the sector namely the following:(a) a 90% owned subsidiary, Tianjin-SWM (M) Environment
Ltd, Co, a company that holds a 21-year concession rights
for the operation and management of the Tianjin Panlou
Municipal Solid Waste Transfer Station and its related
assets in the city of Tianjin until October 2025. Operations
commenced in January 2005 with the concession granting
CORPORATE
PROFILE
rights to the company to transport household waste

deposited at the transfer station to the municipal landfills
and in return collect tipping fees from the local city council
for services provided. The company has been nominated
for its good track record on traffic safety from 2006-2008
and from 2010 to 2011;
(b) a 56% stake in Puresino (Guanghan) Water Co. Ltd which
manages and operates the 50 million litres per day
Guanghan San Xin Dui wastewater treatment plant in the
province of Sichuan for a 30-year concession expiring in
2033. The company was acquired in April 2007 and
commercial operations commenced in September of that
year;
(c) a wholly-owned subsidiary, Taliworks (Yinchuan)
Wastewater Treatment Co. Ltd to undertake the operation
of four municipal waste water treatment plants (WWTP)
with recycled water facilities with a treatment capacity of
300 million litres per day and 52 million litres per day
respectively in Yinchuan, province of Ningxia, on a
takeover-operate-transfer basis for a period of 30 years
until 2041. The take-over of the facilities was effected in
December 2011. The project also includes upgrade and
expansion of the capacity of the existing WWTP to be
completed by 2015. The WWTPs have been nominated for
several outstanding awards, amongst them, for its energy
and water conservation efforts and have been named as
one of the top ten companies in the city wastewater
treatment business; and
(d) a 70% interest in Ningxia Eco Wastewater Treatment Co.
Ltd which secured a 30-year concession on a buildoperate-transfer basis for the construction and
management of the Linhe Integrated Industrial Park Zone
A Wastewater and Recycled Water Treatment Plant in the
Ningdong Energy Chemical Industrial Zone in Yinchuan,
province of Ningxia, with a waste water treatment capacity
of 50 million litres per day for Zone A of the Linhe
Integrated Industrial Park.
CONSTRUCTION AND
ENGINEERING
Taliworks is currently one of the sub-contractors involved in the
Mengkuang Dam expansion project in Penang, Malaysia. This
project is a Federal Government project and involves earthfilled dam embankment and river diversion tunnel activities.
The sub-contract was awarded to Taliworks in 2011 at a
contract value of RM339 million and the project is expected
to be completed in 2016.
Prior to undertaking this project, the division has successfully
completed the design and construction of the water supply
systems for the Central Kedah Water Supply Scheme (in 2006)
and the Padang Terap Water Supply Scheme (in 2011), both
in Kedah at a total contract value of RM120 million and 149
million respectively.
HIGHWAY TOLL OPERATIONS

AND MAINTENANCE
In 2007, Taliworks acquired a 55% interest in a joint venture,
Cerah Sama Sdn Bhd (Cerah Sama). The acquisition of
Cerah Sama was made in collaboration with the South East
Asian Strategic Assets Fund L.P. (SEASAF) where Cerah
Sama is positioned to be the flagship vehicle through which
both parties will engage in the business of developing and
operating toll roads in Malaysia and the ASEAN region.
Cerah Sama is the holding company for Grand Saga Sdn Bhd
(http://www.grandsaga.com.my), a company that owns and
operates the concession for the Cheras-Kajang Highway until
2045. The highway is the first four-lane dual carriageway in
Malaysia and it measures approximately 11.5 km in length,
stretching from the Connaught Interchange, Cheras to Saujana
Impian, Kajang. Constructed at a cost of RM275 million, the
highway serves to ease traffic congestion and minimise travel
time for daily commuters within the Cheras-Kajang vicinity. The
highway comprises two toll plazas i.e. the Batu 9 toll plaza and
the Batu 11 toll plaza, one rest and service area and eight
inter-changes.
In January 2013, Cerah Sama issued RM420 million Islamic
Medium Term Notes (Sukuk Musharakah) under the Sukuk
Programme of up to RM750 Million in nominal value. The
Sukuk Programme has been assigned an initial rating of AA-is
by the Malaysian Rating Corporation Berhad.
CORPORATE
PROFILE
Business Focus
Currently, the water treatment, supply and distribution business in Malaysia accounts for the bulk of revenue and profitability of
Taliworks. With further inroads being made to invest in the vast waste management business in China, Taliworks is intending that
the revenue contribution from overseas ventures will gradually increase from the current position so as to diversify its earnings base
and geographical risk.
Taliworks remains focus on its core business activities whilst seeking opportunities to further acquire strategic investments both
domestically and in the foreign markets so as to re-position itself as a formidable and respected service provider for water, waste
management and infrastructure businesses in the region.
Today, Taliworks has business presence both in Malaysia and China.

CHAIRMA NS
STATEMEN T
When I was first approached to assume the Chairmanship of
Taliworks, it did not take me long to arrive at a decision and I
was honoured that my services were still valued and required.
This appointment is my second foray into the corporate world
as a board member. Coming into this Annual General Meeting,
it is refreshing to know that some of you have been with us for
a considerable length of time as shareholders.
Although I have only been Chairman for less than two months,
I have been keeping abreast of the developments within
Taliworks. It is significant to me to note that the Group is
actively engaged in the waste water treatment and solid waste
management businesses in China. I firmly believe that given
the right impetus and networking opportunities, management
will be able to steer the businesses of the Group in China
forward, and deliver long term growth which is sustainable and
rewarding.
On the global front, economies are in a much better shape than
before, and the financial markets, which have gone through
much upheaval, have rebounded considerably. This augurs well
as Chinas growth has been much in focus lately, with all eyes
on how the worlds second largest economy will fare given that
the rest of the developed markets are still exhibiting somewhat
anemic growth.
Financial Performance
Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Dato Seri

Ong Ka Ting,
Chairman
Dear Valued Shareholders,

Since retiring from active service in the Malaysian Government
Administration more than six years ago, I have been keeping
myself occupied with various activities, particularly my
involvement as the Chairman of the Malaysia-China Business
Council, which is one of the platforms for advancing bilateral
trade and business interests between both countries.
I wish to report to shareholders that for the year ended 31

December 2013, the Group posted a lower profit after tax of
RM25.09 million, down from RM42.76 million achieved a year
ago although revenue was higher at RM281.81 million
compared to RM253.34 million previously. The financial
performance of the Group was impacted by the impairment in
one of our projects and the effects of discounting from the
continued delay in receiving payments, both of which are
elaborated upon in the Executive Directors Review of
Operations.
As in previous years, the water treatment, supply and
distribution business, which accounts for the bulk of revenue
and profits of the Group, saw its contribution severely
undermined by the impairment of trade receivables arising
from the continuing delay in receiving payments. Your attention
is thus drawn to this issue, which is also highlighted by the
auditors in their audit report as well as in the relevant notes in
the financial statements, which provide further disclosure on
this subject matter.

CHAIRMANS
STATEMENT
Dividends
Future Outlook and Prospects
The Board wishes to re-affirm its

commitment to creating long term
shareholder value by ploughing back the
Groups cash reserves to expand the
existing concession-based businesses.
Taliworks firmly believes that this
business model will greatly enhance the
ability of the Group to sustain a steady
stream of recurring income and cash
flow.
Although the Group has been

successfully managing its concession
assets thus far, there remain ever present
key challenges. Foremost would be
putting our businesses in China on a
better footing and, in particular,
achieving our goal of ensuring that our
wastewater treatment business in
Yinchuan is managed effectively and
profitably. The next two years will be
crucial as we embark on a massive
undertaking to expand and upgrade the
wastewater treatment plants which will
yield a higher tariff rate.
Our current major investment in China,

namely the operations of the four
wastewater treatment plants in Yinchuan
which the Group has been managing
since 2012, is at the early stage of
operations and is not expected to
contribute any dividends over the
medium term. The Group is also facing
another challenge as current operations
in the water treatment, supply and
distribution sector are saddled with high
receivables, thus limiting the ability of
the Board to meet shareholders
expectations for higher dividend payouts.
Until the water consolidation exercise in
Selangor is amicably settled and the long
outstanding debts adequately addressed,
the Board will be hard-pressed to declare
a higher quantum of dividends to
shareholders. We look forward to the day
when our receivables can be fully repaid
so that the Board is in a position to
assess Taliworks capability to return the
cash surplus to shareholders.
Despite the challenges faced by
Taliworks, the Board, in appreciation of
your
continued
support,
has
recommended the payment of a final
single-tier dividend of 1.0 sen per share,
which is subject to your approval at the
forthcoming Annual General Meeting of
the Company.
Needless to say, our business prospects

will depend on our ability to innovate,
change with the times and enhance our
core competencies to sharpen our
competitiveness and create new markets
for ourselves. Therefore, to crystallise
these aspirations, we have mandated the
management to pursue measures that are
necessary to attain these goals by raising
the bar on the Boards expectations on
management to deliver exceptional
performance.
To achieve these ambitions, emphasis
will also be given to ensure a more
stringent and robust risk management as
well as internal control framework is in
place and that our strategies and
business plans are routinely examined
and evaluated to keep pace with current
developments.
Acknowledgement
I am saddened by the intended departure
of two of the longest serving directors, Y.
Bhg. Dato Hj Mohd Sinon bin Mudakir
and Encik Sulaiman bin Salleh. In the
interest of maintaining independency of
the Board in accordance with the
recommendations under the Malaysian
Code on Corporate Governance, they have
decided not to offer themselves for re-
election at this forthcoming Annual

General Meeting. Dato Sinon has served
the Company since 1996 whereas Encik
Sulaiman has been with us since 2002.
My predecessor, Encik Suhaimi bin
Kamaralzaman, who resigned in March of
this year, has served the Board since
2010.
Their service to the Group has been
invaluable and, on behalf of the Board
and members of the Taliworks, I would
like to take this opportunity to place on
record our appreciation to all of them. We
are truly grateful for their immense
contributions and wish to extend our very
best wishes to them.
Likewise, I would like to extend a warm
welcome to Mr. Vijay Vijendra Sethu,
who, like myself, joined the Board in
April. Mr. Vijay has over thirty years of
experience in investment banking across
several continents and we are indeed
fortunate to have him on board.
To the management and staff of the
Group, the Board would like to
acknowledge your hard work, dedication
and
commitment.
Without
your
contributions, we would not be where we
are today, a successful, resourceful and
dynamic group.
To our shareholders, I would like to thank
you for your unwavering support and we
look forward to your continuing vote of
confidence.
Last but not least, we wish to express our
gratitude to all others who have in one
way or another contributed to our success
throughout the year.
Thank you.

RE VIEW OF OPERAT I O N S
bring the matter to an equitable resolution. While these efforts
have sparked several false starts, they have also given rise to
unexpectedly positive developments that could nudge those
involved closer to an agreement.
At the operational level, the high trade receivables in the water
treatment, supply and distribution sector in Selangor continues
to stand out as one of the key dominant risks as it puts a
spotlight on the industrys deteriorating finances. The gross
receivables from our primary customer, Syarikat Pengeluar Air
Sungai Selangor Sdn Bhd (SPLASH), for the financial year
ended 31 December 2013, stood at almost RM260 million,
up from RM218 million for the previous comparable period.
Whilst we still have our eye trained on the ball, uncertainty still
persists as to the effects of the eventual outcome of the
impasse. As the issue has been dragging for a considerable
length of time, we believe that the stalemate will eventually
have to be resolved to address the wider interests of
consumers. Towards this end, we have been fine-tuning our
internal strategies to re-position ourselves to both protect the
Groups assets and safeguard its pecuniary interests in this
matter. Until the impasse in the water restructuring exercise
can be sorted out comprehensively, residual effects will
continue to affect the financial performance of the Group.
Mr. Lim Yew Boon,

Executive Director
The increased complexity of todays evolving business

environment, as well as fluctuating global economic conditions,
pose some challenges to the administration of the businesses
of Taliworks. Despite adhering to what is assumed to be a
stable and safe business model for the operation and
management of concessions, several impediments continue to
hamper our efforts, and have slowed down growth in our
operations.
The on-going stalemate in the Selangor water restructuring
exercise has garnered its fair share of publicity in the media
throughout the year, and the Group continues to bear the brunt
of negative sentiment from the prolonged uncertainty of
settlement. Stemming from this, we continue to see a
significant reduction in cash flow whilst enduring a high level
of trade receivables which are subject to impairment. To date,
several attempts have been made by all parties concerned to
Even with the best laid plans and stringent risk mitigation in
place, there is still the possibility that things may go awry. In
2011, the Group commenced the construction of Phase 1 of
the 20 million litre a day (MLD) LINHE waste water and
recycle water treatment plant in Yinchuan under a buildoperate-transfer concept. The company undertaking this
project was initially awarded a 30-year concession to manage
and operate the facility. As reported last year, there was a delay
in the project due to several factors. Eventually, the contracting
parties came to the conclusion that since they could not come
to an agreement on certain key issues, it would be in the best
interests of all parties to transfer the partially constructed
facility to the grantor to complete the project. The Group is in
the midst of negotiations to settle the final compensation sum
and bring the matter to a close. Arising from this turn of events,
the Group made a significant adjustment to its financial
results.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
In the wider global economy, the pace of growth in developed

markets continues to improve whilst moderate growth is seen
within key emerging economies. On the domestic front, despite
a weaker external economic environment during the first half
of the year, Malaysian GDP grew by 4.7% in 2013 (2012:
5.6%), driven by higher growth in domestic demand and led
by robust private sector activity. Although risks to domestic
growth and inflation were assessed to be balanced during the
earlier part of the year, uncertainty increased towards the
second half.
With growth momentum improving in the second half of the
year and expected to continue into 2014, there was uncertainty
about the strength of the global recovery and the extent to
which the nations fiscal consolidation and subsidy
rationalisation would affect domestic demand. The Malaysian
Central Bank has projected that the countrys economy is
expected to remain on a steady growth path in 2014,
expanding by 4.5%-5.5% with domestic demand being the key
driver of growth, albeit at a more moderate pace.

In the financial year ended 31 December, 2013, Taliworks

posted a revenue of RM281.8 million as compared to
RM253.3 million in the previous year. This takes into account
an amount of RM22.9 million (2012: RM17.8 million), a
provision for discounting on a deferred payment consideration
arising from the expected delay in collections, mostly from
SPLASH.
Higher revenue was primarily achieved from increases in
contributions from both the water treatment, supply and
distribution as well as the engineering and construction
segments. These segments recorded a turnover of RM149.9
million (2012: RM141.5 million) and RM 84.0 million (2012:
RM 63.9 million) respectively during the financial year. The
water treatment, supply and distribution business continues to
be the largest contributor with its metered sales of treated
water accounting close to 57% of the Groups revenue (before
the impact of the provision for discounting). Revenue from this
segment has risen due to higher production output recorded
from both the Sungai Selangor Water Treatment Works Phase
1 (SSP1) under Sungai Harmoni Sdn. Bhd (Sungai
Harmoni) and from Taliworks (Langkawi) Sdn Bhd (Taliworks
Langkawi). Revenue from the construction segment was
mostly attributable to the on-going Mengkuang Dam Expansion
project. As for the Groups waste management operations in
China, the biggest contributor was the Yinchuan Wastewater
and Recycle Water Treatment Plant. Out of the total RM47.1
million (2012: RM47.7 million) in revenue recorded from this
segment, RM35.2 million (2012: RM33.4 million) was directly
contributed by this project, which currently represents our
largest investment outside of Malaysia.
20
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
Taliworks operating profit declined to RM52.9 million as

compared to RM71.0 million in 2012. This was due mainly to
the effects of discounting on trade receivables which, similar
to the previous year, is one of the key operational issues faced
by the Group and arises from the continued delay in receiving
payments as well as a RM10.1 million impairment that was
recognised from the LINHE project.
At the pre-tax level, an amount of RM39.1 million was
recorded as compared to RM61.0 million previously.
WATER AND ENGINEERING DIVISION

In the concession areas served by both Sungai Harmoni and
Taliworks Langkawi, water supply demand remained fairly
strong. SSP1 operations posted a significant 10.0% increase
in production output, while Taliworks Langkawi was able to
increase its metered consumption output by a respectable
6.6%. The growth in water demand in the Klang Valley which
SSP1 supplies is expected to continue in 2014 due to
increasing demands from both residential and commercial
customers. The ability of SSP1 to meet this demand growth in
the long term was enhanced by the completion in March 2013
of the project initiated by the Selangor State Government to
upgrade SSP1s pumping installations to its original nominal
design capacity of 950 MLD. This will drive higher production
output in SSP1.
The operations of Sungai Harmoni and Taliworks Langkawi
continue to face challenges brought about by external factors
such as climate and regulatory changes. As a result, the
optimisation of production costs, especially electrical and
chemical, which account for between 45%-65% of total
operating costs, continues to be monitored and controlled. This
is done through computer aided comprehensive servicing and
maintenance programs coupled with progressive rehabilitation
and improvement programs, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
Concurrently, a responsive operations regime as well as
effective standard operating procedures has been put in place
to respond in a timely manner to environmental changes such
as unpredictable weather, changing raw water quality and
pollutant spikes.
Sungai Harmoni and, to a lesser extent Taliworks Langkawi,

continue to be hampered by escalating trade receivables which,
as yet, have not been entirely resolved. For Sungai Harmoni,
this is being managed through financial assistance provided by
SPLASH and through improved collections during the year for
Taliworks Langkawi. Since the implementation of the Water
Services Industry Act 2006 (Act 655) (WSIA) on 1 January
2008 and the expiry of the 2-year initial authorisation period,
Taliworks Langkawi has opted for written authorisation in
preference to the licensing regime. Accordingly, Taliworks
Langkawi was granted written authorisation pursuant to Section
192(5) of the WSIA by the National Water Services
Commission (SPAN) to undertake and carry out operations
and activities under the Langkawi Water Supply Privatisation
Agreement dated 7 October 1995 and the Supplemental
Agreements dated 4 August 1999, 22 July 2001 and 1 August
2004 effective from 1 February 2013 to the end of the
concession on 31 October 2020. Sungai Harmoni, on the other
hand, is still awaiting resolution of the consolidation of the
Selangor water supply concessions by either the State or
Federal Government.
In previous years, river flows were generally adequate to sustain
the abstraction operations of SSP1/SSP2/SSP3, supported by
regulated releases from the Sungai Selangor and Sungai Tinggi
Dams during the usual dry spell in the third quarter of the year.
In 2013, these regulating dams did not manage to recover their
full service levels by year end and appeared to have inadequate
storage reserves to meet the regulating needs of these water
treatment plants during the coming dry seasons in 2014,
which is expected to put a damper on SSP1 sales.
The consolidation of the Selangor State water supply system
through the restructuring of the four water concessions by
Selangor remains unresolved despite a final offer by the
Selangor State Government. As a result of the impasse, Sungai
Harmonis trade receivables have escalated further and this
curbs our ability to manage its operational activities more
efficiently due to declining cash reserves.
21
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
As for the Langkawi operations, over half of the metered

consumption in Langkawi is attributed to the hotel and tourism
industry. As such, the monthly metered consumption is greatly
influenced by the seasonal arrivals of tourists, both foreign and
local, which has shown an uptrend in 2013, averaging 47.81
MLD or an increase of 6.6% over the previous year. Taliworks
Langkawis cash flow continued to improve during the year as
payments were received for outstanding receivables for the
current year as well as partial payment of some long overdue
receivables. This has enabled Taliworks Langkawi to carry out
its operational and maintenance obligations in a more
systematic and efficient manner.
CONSTRUCTION & ENGINEERING DIVISION
The Mengkuang Dam Expansion Project (MKGD) continues
to be the mainstay of the engineering and construction division
in 2013. To recapitulate, the project sub-contracted at a
contract value of RM339 million consisted broadly of site
clearance, earthworks, construction of reinforced concrete
structures and pipe laying works. Construction work
commenced in August 2011 and is scheduled to be completed
by the July 2016 deadline.
Though we have managed to make reasonably good progress
on the MKGD project throughout 2013, we believe that we
could have done better if not for the labour shortages in the
market. Nevertheless, we managed to devise a comprehensive
risk management plan at the onset of the project and actively
maintain it to promote internal process changes to counter the
vagaries of the market. Costs for the project did rise, however
effective management measures were taken to bring them in
line with the budget. I am pleased to report that actual progress
is at about 40% and construction of the dam embankment is
on schedule.
The RM20.3 million Upgrading of the SSP1 Raw Water
Pumping Main and Inter-connection at Matang Pagar Reservoir
(SSP1 project) was successfully completed within time. This
large-diameter pipe laying project concerns the construction of
a 3.8km long DN 1800mm mild steel raw water pumping main
and 250m long DN 900mm mild steel inter-connection pipe
works at the Matang Pagar Reservoir. The SSP1 project
provided us with the opportunity to engage in the construction
of the biggest inter-connection pipe works in the country with
a reclined position using the hot tapping method. Most
importantly, the timely completion of the project resulted in an
increase of the supply capacity of SSP1 to its design capacity
of 950 MLD.
TOLL HIGHWAY DIVISION

Subsequent to the one bound closure at each of the two toll
plazas which took effect on 2 March 2012, the Cheras-Kajang
highway witnessed a steady growth in its traffic volume as the
cost of travelling on the highway has been reduced by half. The
average daily traffic (ADT) increased from 132,081
vehicles/day (for the 10 months in 2012, post one bound
closure) to 137,936 vehicles/day for the year 2013, an overall
increment of 4.4%. In terms of growth by plaza, the ADT at
Plaza Batu 9 and Plaza Batu 11 grew by 2.7% and 6.5%
respectively. The growth rate at Plaza Batu 9 is evidently lower
due to the commencement of construction works on the Mass
Rapid Transit (MRT) project which runs along the highway.
The aforementioned works caused traffic congestion during
peak periods due to the narrowing of roads leading into the
highway from the city and also affected sections along the
highway as well. Traffic flow is expected to return to normalcy
after July 2014 with the expected completion of the MRT works
on the ground.
As part of its service commitment to road users to ensure
smooth and uninterrupted traffic flow, Grand Saga Sdn Bhd
(Grand Saga), the operator of the highway, implemented
contra flow operations to alleviate the traffic congestion for
Kajang bound traffic in the evening and Kuala Lumpur bound
traffic congestion in the morning. It was conducted with the
assistance of the Kuala Lumpur City Council and the Kuala
Lumpur Traffic Police. As an additional initiative to further
improve the level of service, Grand Saga plans to convert and
re-configure the toll collection lanes salvaged from the one
bound closure in 2012, converting the lanes by stages into
electronic tolling. These additional electronic toll lanes will
cater to the increasing number of Electronic Toll Collection
(ETC) users and reduce transaction times during peak
periods.
On 6 February 2014, Grand Saga became a signatory of the
Corporate Integrity Pledge (CIP). The CIP is a document that
allows a company to make a commitment to uphold the AntiCorruption Principles for Corporations in Malaysia. The CIP was
jointly developed by the Integrity Institute of Malaysia,
Transparency International Malaysia and the Malaysian AntiCorruption Commission.
The highway division continues to seek to extract the fullest
potential from its expertise in highway operations by
investigating the acquisition of interests in other tolled roads,
both locally and abroad. Towards this end, the company has
RM330 million of undrawn Sukuk facility from the RM750
million Sukuk facility issued on 31 January 2013.

WASTE MANAGEMENT DIVISION

Tianjin-SWM (M) Environment Co. Ltd
Tianjin-SWM manages, operates and maintains the Tianjin
Panlou Municipal Solid Waste Transfer Station and its related
assets with a concession period of 21 years ending in 2025.
The company has managed the facility since 1 January 2005
and since then has carried out operations in accordance with
the terms of the concession. Compared to the previous years
production of 333,773 tonnes (919 tonnes/day), the current
tonnage of waste processed stood at 337,436 tonnes (924
tonnes/day), which is a marginal increase from last year.
Operating cost per tonne was higher compared to the previous
year, mainly as a result of higher fuel and manpower costs
coupled with a short term trial run of delivering waste to a
newer and farther incinerator site.
Due to the aging of the truck fleet, a total of six new trucks
were progressively replaced during 2013. Turnaround time has
vastly improved, resulting in the ability to increase the tonnage
of waste processed. Nevertheless, despite improvements in
turnaround time, there was only an incremental increase in the
waste processed as we are negotiating for higher tariff rates
before agreeing to raise the quantity of waste processed.
Beyond addressing the issue of tariff increases and truck
replacements, other important matters relating to the stations
general environment, refurbishment, health and safety
measures are being looked into on a continuous basis as part
of our efforts to upgrade the service level as well as improve
the general well-being of staff.
Puresino (Guanghan) Water Co Ltd.
Puresino (Guanghan) manages and operates the 50-million
litre a day Guanghan San Xin Dui wastewater treatment plant
in the city of Guanghan in the province of Sichuan with a
concession period of 30 years ending in the year 2033. This
project marks a historical milestone for Taliworks, as it is the
Groups first foray into the wastewater treatment industry in
China. Commercial operations started in the third quarter of
2007.
During the year, the tonnage of waste effluent processed was

significantly lower due to damage to the incoming waste water
pipeline caused by floods which occurred in July 2013.
Production for the year was recorded at 4.59 million litres, a
marked decline of over 56% from the 10.48 million litres
achieved a year ago. Due to the shutdown of the facility,
production capacity was down to an average of 49% of the
plants design capacity. Fortunately, production was able to
resume to normal level in January 2014 and we are optimistic
that production should achieve an average of more than 60%
of the plants design capacity in 2014.
As reported in the previous year, we are still in a dispute with
a minority shareholder and this has yet to be resolved amicably.
Arising from the dispute, operations have been affected
significantly resulting in the operation cost per tonne to
increase considerably as the operations and management of
the facility is handled by a third party caretaker operator. On a
brighter note, all the remaining litigation cases involving the
company however, have been resolved and decided before the
courts.
Taliworks (Yinchuan) Wastewater Treatment Co. Ltd
In 2010, the Group successfully secured the privatisation
contracts for four waste water treatment plants and two recycle
water treatment plants in Yinchuan via an open tender by the
municipal government wherein 30-year concessions to own,
operate and manage the aforementioned facilities were
awarded under a Takeover-Operate-Transfer (TOT) concept in
the third quarter of 2011. This is another achievement
milestone as Taliworks was entrusted by the Chinese
Government to operate and manage one of its public utilities
for the Yinchuan Municipality, which is the capital city of the
Ningxia Province.
23
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
This being the second year in operating the facilities, the

amount of treated waste water registered an increase of 6.8%
from last year. Production was recorded at 121.26 million litres
(or equivalent to 332 MLD) increasing from 113.49 million
litres previously, exceeding the design capacity of 300 MLD by
10%. Whilst operating costs have increased in line with higher
production levels, they are being continuously monitored to
ensure that they are kept within budget.
Plans are already underway to upgrade and expand the total
capacity of the four waste water treatment plants by another
100 million litres per day to 400 million litres per day. The
estimated additional investments that the Group is required to
invest to upgrade and expand the facilities is in the region of
RMB650 million. This is a substantial investment. However,
we are taking the long term view that the investment
proposition is viable and will provide a recurring income stream
and sustainable cash flow over the period of the concession.
Our first undertaking is to successfully upgrade and expand
one of the water treatment plants for an estimated amount of
RMB162 million before proceeding to the following phases.
The upgrade and expansion is expected to commence in the
second quarter of 2014 and is anticipated to take a year to
complete. With the completion of the upgrade and expansion,
we look forward to higher tariff rates to commensurate with the
investments that we have made.
In the coming year, all eyes will be on the upgrading and

expansion of one of the waste water treatment plants in
Yinchuan as this will set the groundwork for the other
remaining plants to follow suit. The immediate priority is to
ensure that this undertaking is implemented effectively and
efficiently within the cost structure.
Also foremost in our consideration is the final outcome of the
consolidation of the water concessionaires in Selangor.
The issue is compelling as it is expected to alter the dynamics
of the water treatment, supply and distribution industry in
Selangor through the introduction of new players, and revamp
how the entire water supply will be managed and funded. We
are cautiously optimistic that it will be eventually resolved.
Despite all of the setbacks that we encountered throughout the
year, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that all the businesses
of the Group are properly managed and are aware that there is
no room for complacency. Unpredictable global economic
conditions and growing business complexities have all changed
the landscape of decision making. Nevertheless, we will
continue to strive to meet rising shareholders and
stakeholders expectations and to repay the faith in us by
delivering respectable returns on your investments.
Thank you.
KEY PRIORITIES AND CHALLENGES

As in the previous year, our investments in China pose the
greatest challenge as we do have a sizeable portion of our funds
invested there. These challenges arise from three main areas,
the differences in the legal framework, the working culture and
our expectations. The increasingly high cost of doing business
also stands out as being one of the principal contributory
factors. As such, considerable efforts and resources have been
directed to ensure that our long term business objective of
expanding our footprint in the waste management sector is on
track with our strategic business plan. As our investments in
China are essentially long term in nature, we stand by our
principle to not deliver short term gains at the expense of
creating long term problems which may jeopardise the eventual
returns from these investments.

COR P ORATE
S US TA INABILITY
STATEMEN T
In todays broad marketplace where the interest of all
stakeholders are inter-linked, it is no longer tenable to attain a
successful and sustainable business model directed solely to
maximising profits without any regards whatsoever to the
potential repercussions to these stakeholders, who are in a
position to impact an organisation in achieving its corporate
mission and goals. With the extensive use of the social media
amidst the advent of technological advances in the field of
communication, global citizens are more connected than ever
before. With its easy accessibility and functionality, the social
media is a rather potent instrument that is being widely used
by non government organisations and special interest consumer
groups to shape societal behaviour, demands and perceptions
by raising the level of consciousness over the importance of
sustainability.
Thus, it becomes inevitable that an organisation has to put in
thought and effort to seriously consider the interest of all
stakeholders and work towards a win-win situation where all
parties concerned are able to derive some degree of benefits
without leaving any parties to an extremely disadvantaged
position. However, it should be acknowledged that interest of
the various parties maybe somewhat conflicted with one
another and that a balanced approach would be required to
minimise such conflicts. Up and foremost for the long term
survival of an organisation, is the attainment of a sustainable
business model incorporating good Corporate Social
Responsibilities
(CSR)
practices
that
embraces
responsibilities for the impact arising from the conduct of its
activities.
Unlike the past, organisations today are hard pressed to spell
out clearly their commitment towards environmental, social,
governance (ESG) and sustainability agendas as well as give
an account of the effects and outcomes of their business
practices on their stakeholders. In addition, stakeholders are
also clamouring for organisations to disclose how their
activities can benefit communities and consumers and outline
how they mitigate any negative impact arising from their
business activities.
As a responsible organisation, Taliworks is committed to

promoting and undertaking good CSR practices that have a
positive and enduring impact on all our key stakeholders. To
attain our vision to be a formidable and respected service
provider in the water, waste and infrastructure sectors in the
region in an ever challenging and dynamic business
environment, we recognise our obligations, not only to deliver
and support long term shareholders value, but at the same time
making conscious efforts to bring about a positive outcome to
each and every person that is directly impacted by our
existence.
In undertaking our CSR, we value the long term benefits and
goodwill that will accrue to our reputation and corporate
standing and we will endure to work towards the betterment of
our employees, the community, the well-being of the
environment and its related stakeholders.
The key CSR initiatives that Taliworks promote, cover the
following areas:-
EMPLOYEES WELFARE AND WELL-BEING

We strive to maintain our standards in the development of our
employees to ensure that the pool of human talent remains
with us. We subscribe to the principle that our employees are
one of the main pillars of our success and they remain our most
valuable asset.
Among the pertinent human resource initiatives to advance the
welfare and well-being of our employees and to enhance the
overall human capabilities and competitiveness within the
organisation include:

respect where employees irrespective of status, position
and gender are treated with dignity and free from sexual
harassment;
Ensuring continuous human resource development by

making available training and career advancement
opportunities;

Cheras-Kajang Highway.
CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMUNITY

Our businesses revolve around the communities that we serve
diligently. We are steadfast in our commitment to maintain our
performance standards to produce high quality drinking water
that meets with established standards to consumers, our
highways are properly maintained and upgraded to ensure
greater riding comfort for our highway users and our waste and
noise emissions from the waste management facilities are
within acceptable levels. This requires concerted effort on our
part to ensure that all of our employees are focused, systems
and controls are in place, the plant and equipment are in good
working condition and our accreditations continue to be
maintained and recognised.
PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

Another area of focus in contributing to the community is in
the form of monetary and non monetary measures. It has been
our philosophy to ensure some of the benefits derived are given
back to the community through communal activities and
sponsorship allocations for sporting and other activities.
Other previous and current initiatives that benefitted the
community include:
Arranging and paying for the connection of water supply to

certain deserving residents in Langkawi;
Providing placements for industrial training in the aspects

of information technology and water treatment operations;
As an integrated water and waste management service provider,

we are ever mindful of the need for the continuous preservation
and conservation of the environment. We are conscious of the
need to strike a balance between enhancing shareholders
value on one hand and our obligation to ensure that our
operations are operated in such a manner that we are able to
reduce environmental degradation by minimising our carbon
footprint. In this respect, we support any low-carbon initiatives
and green agenda that are being actively promoted by any non
governmental organisations.

CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Todays dynamic business environment and increased stakeholders expectations reinforce the demands for accountability and
transparency expected from the Board in discharging its fiduciary duties and in delivering long term value proposition to
shareholders. As a direct consequence thereof, greater internalisation of enterprise-wide culture of good corporate governance,
maintenance of a sound system of internal control, embedding risk management practices into the day-to-day operations, business
sustainability issues as well as adherence to regulatory requirements becomes one of the key challenges for the Board.
The Board recognises the importance in adopting the Principles and the Recommendations stipulated in the Malaysian Code on
Corporate Governance (revised 2012) (Code) and is committed in ensuring that good corporate governance is observed,
practiced and improved upon throughout the Company and its subsidiaries (Group) to safeguard the interest of shareholders
and that of the other stakeholders.
Since the introduction of the first Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance in 2000, the Board has continuously made efforts
and avail resources to strengthen the corporate governance framework and practices within the Group; to not only attract but
also retain amongst others, long term investors and other valued stakeholders - customers, financiers and even employees. The
Board recognises that good ethical conduct and high level of accountability are important ingredients to support sustainable
development and growth of the Groups businesses both locally and abroad. Needless to say, good corporate governance is a
shared responsibility, with the various stakeholders having equal duty and responsibility to protect and advance their own interests
by exercising the rights accorded to them to ensure that the Group is well governed driven by the basic tenets of good governance.
The following Corporate Governance Statement outlines the manner in which the Group has applied the Principles contained in
the Code to its particular circumstances, having regard to the Recommendations stated under each Principle and the
Recommendation which the Group has yet to comply, together with the reasons for non compliance and the alternatives adopted,
if any.
A. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
1. Board Responsibilities
The Group is headed by a Board that leads and controls the business of the Group. The role of the Board is to
collectively set the strategic direction of the Group and govern the Group with good governance practices.

CORPORATE
A. BOARD OF DIRECTORS (contd)
1. Board Responsibilities (contd)
The Board has reserved for itself, decisions in respect of matters significant to the Groups business operations, that
include the approval of key corporate plans, annual operating and capital expenditure budgets, major business
transactions involving either the acquisitions or disposals of business, interests and/or assets, consideration of
significant financial matters and announcements of financial results, changes to the composition of the Board and
the board committees as well as control structure within the Group.
To effectively carry out its responsibilities, the Board has delegated certain of its functions to other board committees,

members (including the Chairman) comprising one (1) Executive Director and five (5) other Non-Executive Directors,
four (4) of whom are Independent Directors.
The Board is of the opinion that it has the right balance of skills and experience appropriate for the requirements of
the business, that no individual dominated the decision making process and that the Board has operated effectively
throughout the year and is confident that it will continue to do so.
The composition of the Board is deemed well balanced representing both the major and minority shareholders
interests and complied with the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Listing Requirements)
where at least two (2) directors or one-third (1/3) of the Board, whichever is higher, must comprise of independent
directors.
The Board having reviewed the size and complexity of the Groups operation is of the view that the number of
members in the Board is appropriate. Nevertheless, the Board is receptive to revamp the composition of members
to ensure that the Board is able to function more effectively.
Under the Code, it is recommended that the Board must comprise a majority of Independent Directors where the
chairperson of the Board is not an Independent Director. Encik Suhaimi bin Kamaralzaman (subsequently resigned
from the Board on 31 March 2014), who was then a Non-Independent Non-Executive Chairman, was re-designated
as an Independent Non-Executive Chairman on 17 October 2013 following the cessation of Kumpulan Perangsang
Selangor Berhad, in which he is the Group Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director, as a substantial shareholder
of the Company.

CORPORATE
2.1 Role of the Chairperson

Encik Suhaimi bin Kamaralzaman, who was then the Independent Non-Executive Chairman, presided over the meetings
of the Board. His roles and functions were clearly separated and distinct from those of the Executive Director whom is
specifically responsible for managing the strategic and operational agenda of the Group and for the execution of the
directives and policies of the Board, as well as directing the business operations of the Group on a day-to-day-basis.
Other than monitoring the conduct of the board meetings and meeting of shareholders, the chairperson is to ensure that
all relevant issues for the successful stewardship of the Groups business were on the Board agenda to facilitate effective
decision making by the Board.
2.2 Role of the Executive Director

Mr. Ronnie Lim, the Executive Director, is tasked to develop, in conjunction with the Board, the Groups strategic plans
and is responsible for its implementation. Other than that, the Executive Director is responsible to carry out all the
directions of the Board and ensuring that they are implemented and that adequate actions have been taken to follow up
on significant outstanding matters on a timely basis. In connection therewith, the Executive Director keeps the Board

significant matters for its consideration and approval, where required.
2.3 Role of the Non-Independent Non-Executive Directors

The Non-Independent Non-Executive Director, Mr. Lim Chin Sean, does not participate in the day-to-day management
of the Group. However, he contributes in areas such as policy and strategy, performance monitoring, as well as improving
governance and controls. He is expected to provide constructive input and where required, provide the requisite guidance
to the Executive Director when faced with the challenges in running the day-to-day affairs of the Group.
2.4 Role of the Independent Non-Executive Directors

The Independent Non-Executive Directors, Y. Bhg Dato Hj Mohd Sinon bin Mudakir, Encik Sulaiman bin Salleh and Mr.
Soong Chee Keong, play a significant role as check and balance in the functioning of the Board. They have declared
themselves to be independent from management and free of any business or other relationship which could interfere
with the exercise of their independent judgment and objective participation and decision making process of the Board.
Independent Non-Executive Directors are required to voice their reservations or objections to any Board decisions which
are deemed detrimental to the interest of the minority shareholders and their reservation or objections are then duly
recorded by the Company Secretary in the Board minutes.
Members of the Board come from varied background and each brings with them a wide range of business and financial
acumen, competence, knowledge and experience relevant and necessary for the effective stewardship of the Group.

4. Tenure of Directors (contd)
One of the Recommendations under the Code requires that the tenure of an Independent Director not to exceed a
cumulative term of nine (9) years. Currently, the Board does not have a policy on the tenure for Independent Directors
as the Board is of the view that a term of more than nine (9) years may not necessary impair independence and
judgment of an Independent Director and therefore the Board does not deemed it appropriate to impose a fixed
term limit for Independent Directors at this juncture.
Y.Bhg. Dato Hj Mohd Sinon bin Mudakir and Encik Sulaiman bin Salleh, Independent Directors who have served
the Company for more than nine (9) years, have indicated their intention to the Board not to seek re-election at the
forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION

The Audit Committee is supported by an internal audit function in the discharge of its duties and responsibilities. The
internal audit function reports directly to the Audit Committee and is responsible to independently review, appraise and
recommend improvements to the governance, risk and internal control systems established by management. The internal
audit function provides timely and impartial advice to the Audit Committee and the respective management as to whether
activities reviewed are:(a) in accordance with the Groups policies and direction;
(b) in compliance with prescribed laws and regulations; and
(c) achieving the desired results effectively and efficiently.
On a quarterly basis, the internal audit function submits audit reports to the Audit Committee for review and actions.
The internal audit function performed risk-based, ad-hoc and routine audits for the year 2013 in accordance with the
approved audit plans. The audit results were discussed with the respective management and presented to Audit Committee
for review. Where applicable, the internal audit function conducted follow-up audits to ensure that managements commitment
on corrective actions were fulfilled timely and appropriately. In addition, the internal audit function played an advisory role
in the course of performing its internal audit activities.
The internal audit function is supported by an in-house Internal Audit Department. The department provides internal audit
services covering the Company, all its local and foreign subsidiaries and jointly-controlled entities. The total costs incurred
for the internal audit function is RM790,769 for the year.
In respect of internal audit review of associated companies, the Audit Committee does not evaluate the system of internal
control of these companies where the Group does not have full management control.
G. AUTHORISATION FOR ISSUANCE

This report has been reviewed and approved for inclusion in this Annual Report by the Audit Committee.
54
STATEMENT ON
RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL
This Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control is made pursuant to paragraph 15.26(b) of the Listing Requirements
of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Bursa Securities) which requires the Board to include in this Annual Report a statement
about the state of risk management and internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries (Group).
Responsibility
The Board is responsible for identifying and managing principal risks by establishing a sound risk management framework and
in maintaining an appropriate system of internal controls within the Group by ensuring the effectiveness, adequacy and integrity
of this system.
Because of the inherent limitations, the risk management framework and system of internal control is designed to minimise and
manage risks at an acceptable level rather than to eliminate them. Accordingly, the risk management framework and system of
internal control can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against any failure by the Group to meet its business
objectives or to detect material errors, losses, fraud or breaches of laws or regulations.
Accompanying the maintenance of an appropriate system of internal control, is an on-going process to identify, evaluate, monitor
and manage principal risks faced by the Group and this process is regularly reviewed by the Board and is generally in line with
the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control (Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers) which is intended to guide
directors of listed issuers in making disclosures concerning risk management and internal control in their companys annual
report.
Both the risk management and internal control process are undertaken by the Audit Committee which reports its findings to the
Board. Whilst the Audit Committee has delegated the implementation of the system of internal controls within an established
framework to the management, it is assisted by an internal audit function which provides an independent assessment and the
relevant assurance on the effectiveness, adequacy and integrity of the system of internal control based on findings from internal
audit reviews carried out during the year in review. In respect of the risk management function, this role is currently being
undertaken by the Risk Management Working Group (RMWG), chaired by the Executive Director.
The Board reviews the appropriateness of the system of internal control in joint ventures which contribute significantly to the
Group; however it does not evaluate the system of internal control of associated companies where the Group does not have full
management control.
Risk Management Framework

The Board has established a risk management framework for the Company covering its three core businesses, namely its two key
operating subsidiaries involved in the operation, treatment and maintenance of water treatment plants and distribution facilities,
the construction and engineering division and two of its foreign operating subsidiaries involved in the waste management segment.
One of the foreign operating subsidiary involved in the waste management segment is currently exempted from this process due
to an on-going shareholders dispute. Nevertheless, it provides updates on strategic operational issues and critical risk areas in
its monthly management reports to the management.
55
STATEMENT ON
This framework consists of an on-going process to identify, evaluate, monitor and manage principal risks that affect or will
potentially affect the achievement of the Groups business objectives. The main features of the Groups risk management
framework involve the following key processes:(a) The management is entrusted to develop, operate and monitor the system of internal controls to address the various risks
faced by the Group;
(b) A database of all risks and controls is maintained and updated, and the information filtered to produce detailed risk registers
and individual risk profiles. Key risk areas are identified and scored for likelihood of the risks occurring and the magnitude
of the impact;
(c) A risk assessment update is carried out by the operating units internally to determine any changes to the risk profile;
(d) Quarterly risk assessment reports are submitted to the RMWG for review;
(e) The RMWG will report its findings to the Audit Committee which then reports to the Board.
Internal Audit Function

The internal audit function is undertaken internally within the Group to provide independent internal audit services to the
Company and its group of companies including that of a joint venture entity.
The key role of the internal audit function is to assess the managements adherence to established policies and procedures as
well as acting as an independent sounding board to the Audit Committee concerning areas of weaknesses or deficiencies in the
risk management, governance and control processes for appropriate remedial measures to be carried out by the management.
Other Key Elements of Internal Controls

Other key elements of the system of internal control of the Group are as follows:(a) clearly defined delegation of responsibilities to committees of the Board and to management, including appropriate
authorisation levels to assist the Board in performing its oversight function;
(b) a budgetary process whereby the management approves the operating and capital budgets of the key operating units and the
Board approves the operating and capital budgets of the Group on a consolidated basis;
(c) monitoring of results against budgets, with major variances and trends in key performance indicators being highlighted and
management action taken, where necessary;
(d) review of operational and financial performance by the operating units management. At the meetings of management held
to review these reports, relevant operational, financial and strategic issues are discussed and followed up by management;
(e) quarterly review by the Board and the Audit Committee on the operational and financial performance of the Group;
(f) the existence of a whistle-blowing policy and procedure to provide a channel for legitimate concerns to be raised by employees
to the management and to the Audit Committee;
56
STATEMENT ON
Other Key Elements of Internal Controls (contd)

(g) the provision of a dedicated email address to the Senior Independent Director for shareholders and third parties to
communicate with him on matters relating to the Group;
(h) a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors which sets out the general principles and standards of business conduct
and ethical behaviour for the Directors in the performance and exercise of their responsibilities as directors of the Company;
and
(i) an established Code of Conduct which governs the policies and guidelines relating to the standards and ethics that all
employees are expected to adhere to in the course of discharging their duties and responsibilities.
The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors was approved for adoption on 24 April 2013.
Managements Assurance
In accordance with the requirements of the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control (Guidelines for Directors of
Listed Issuers), the Executive Director and the General Manager, Group Finance, representing the management, have given
reasonable assurance to the Board that the Groups risk management and internal control systems are adequate and effective,
in all material aspects, based on the risk management and internal controls adopted by the Group and similar assurance given
by the respective heads of operations.
Review by the External Auditors

As required by paragraph 15.24 of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities, the External Auditors have reviewed this
Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control. Their review was performed in accordance with Recommended Practice
Guide (RPG) 5 issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants.
Based on their review, the External Auditors have reported to the Board that nothing has come to their attention that causes
them to believe that this Statement is inconsistent with their understanding of the process the Board has adopted in the review
of the adequacy and integrity of internal control of the Group.
RPG 5 does not require the External Auditors to and they did not consider whether this Statement covers all risks and controls,
or to form an opinion on the effectiveness of the Groups risk and control procedures.

64
DIRECTORS
REPORT
OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION

Before the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the statements of financial position of the Group
and of the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps:
(a) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of allowance for
doubtful debts and had satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate allowance had
been made for doubtful debts; and
(b) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their book values in the ordinary course of business had been
written down to their estimated realisable values.
At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:
(a) which would render the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts in the financial
statements of the Group and of the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or
(b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
misleading; or
(c) which have arisen which would render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and
of the Company misleading or inappropriate; or
(d) not otherwise dealt with in this report or financial statements which would render any amount stated in the financial
statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.
At the date of this report, there does not exist:
(a) any charge on the assets of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year which secures
the liability of any other person; or
(b) any contingent liability of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year.
No contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months
after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Group
and of the Company to meet their obligations as and when they fall due.
In the opinion of the Directors, no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between
the end of the financial year and the date of this report which is likely to affect substantially the results of operations of the
Group and of the Company for the financial year in which this report is made.

AUDITORS REPORT
T O T H E M E M BE RS OF TALIWORKS CORP ORATION BERHAD
Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements of TALIWORKS CORPORATION BERHAD, which comprise the statements of financial
position of the Group and of the Company as of 31 December 2013, and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then ended,
and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 71 to 159.
Directors Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of these financial 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud
or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control
relevant to the entitys preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal
control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence that we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as of
31 December 2013 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Malaysian
Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965
in Malaysia.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 23 to the Financial Statements which more fully explains the uncertainty over the collectability of
amount owing by a customer; and to Note 17 which sets out the key bases and assumptions used by the Directors in estimating
the recoverable amounts of the intangible assets. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for
certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the
accounting policies below.
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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using
another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the
characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the
asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/ or disclosure purposes in these consolidated
financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope
of MFRS 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of MFRS 117, and measurements that have some similarities to
fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in MFRS 102 or value in use in MFRS 136.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the
degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value
measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can
access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Subsidiaries and Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including structured
entities) controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:
has power over the investee;

is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes
to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the
voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The
Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Companys voting rights in an
investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
the size of the Companys holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;
rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct
the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders
meetings.

NOTES TO THE
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)

Basis of Accounting (contd)
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company
loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are
included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains
control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the
non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the
non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into
line with the Groups accounting policies.
All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of
the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Changes in the Groups ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control are accounted for
as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Groups interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect
the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling
interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed
to owners of the Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference
between (a) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (b)
the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling
interests. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or
loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in
other comprehensive income are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified
to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as specified by applicable Standards). The fair value of any
investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition
for subsequent accounting under MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the
cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint venture.
Subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries which are eliminated on consolidation are stated at cost less impairment losses, if any, in the
Companys separate financial statements.
Business Combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred
in a business combination is measured at fair values which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of
assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and equity instruments
issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as
incurred.
85
NOTES TO THE

Business Combinations (contd)
At acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that:
deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and
measured in accordance with MFRS 112 Income Taxes and MFRS 119 Employee Benefits respectively;
liabilities or equity instruments related to the share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment
arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in
accordance with MFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date; and
assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with MFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for
Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests
in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirers previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the
acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of
the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration
transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirers previously held
equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entitys
net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests
proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquirees identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is
made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when
applicable, on the basis specified in another Standard.
Where the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a
contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Changes
in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively,
with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional
information obtained during the measurement period (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts
and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of contingent consideration that do not qualify as measured period
adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity
is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent
consideration that is classified as an asset or liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with MFRS
137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being
recognised in profit or loss.
Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Groups previously held equity interests in the acquiree are
remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or loss,
if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have
previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be
appropriate if that interest were disposed of.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination
occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional
amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect
new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have
affected the amounts recognised at that date.
86
NOTES TO THE

Investments in Associate and Joint Venture
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in
the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net
assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists
only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The results and assets and liabilities of associate or joint venture are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements
using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment, or a portion thereof, is classified as held for sale, in
which case it is accounted for in accordance with MFRS 5. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate or a
joint venture is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to
recognise the Groups share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture. When the
Groups share of losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Groups interest in that associate or joint venture (which
includes any long-term interest that, in substance, form part of the Groups net investment in the associate or joint venture),
the Group discontinues recognising its shares of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the
Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.
An investment in an associate or a joint venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee
becomes an associate or a joint venture. On acquisition of the investment in an associate or a joint venture, any excess of
the cost of the investment over the Groups share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee
is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Groups share
of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the costs of the investment, after reassessment, is recognised
immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.
The requirements of MFRS 139 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with
respect to the Groups investment in an associate or joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the
investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with MFRS 136 Impairment of Assets as a single
asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount.
Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss
is recognised in accordance with MFRS 136 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently
increases.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be an associate or a joint
venture, or when the investment is classified as held for sale. When the Group retains an interest in the former associate or
joint venture and the retained interest is a financial asset, the Group measures the retained interest at fair value at that date
and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition in accordance with MFRS 139. The difference between
the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture at the date the equity method was discontinued, and the fair value of
any retained interest and any proceeds from disposing of a part interest in the associate or joint venture is included in the
determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate or joint venture. In addition, the Group accounts for all amounts
previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate or joint venture on the same basis as would
be required if that associate or joint venture had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or
loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income by that associate or joint venture would be reclassified to profit
or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss
(as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued.
The Group continues to use the equity method when an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture
or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate. There is no remeasurement to fair value upon
such changes in ownership interests.
87
NOTES TO THE

Investments in Associate and Joint Venture (contd)
When the Group reduces its ownership interest in an associate or a joint venture but the Company continues to use the
equity method, the Group classifies to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognised in
the other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest if that gain or loss would be reclassified to
profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities.
When a group entity transacts with an associate or joint venture of the Group, profit or losses resulting from the transactions
with the associate or joint venture are recognised in the Groups consolidated financial statements only to the extent of the
Groups interest in the associate or joint venture that are not related to the Group.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the rendering of services in the ordinary
course of business of the Groups activities. Revenue is shown net of discounts, discounting and appropriate taxes, and after
eliminating billings within the Group. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured
and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the Group.
Revenue from rendering of services relating to construction contracts is accounted for under the percentage of completion
method.
Dividend income is recognised when the Groups right to receive payment is established.
Management fees are recognised on an accrual basis.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
Foreign Currency
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Groups entities 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, which is the Companys functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
transaction dates. 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.
Differences arising in the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments or a financial instrument designated as a
hedge of currency risk are recognised in other comprehensive income.
88
NOTES TO THE

Foreign Currency (contd)
(iii) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy)
that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as
follows:
-
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the
reporting date of each statement of financial position;
income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless
this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction
dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised as currency translation reserve, a separate component of equity.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the Companys net investment in foreign
entities are recognised initially in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold, the cumulative amount of
the foreign exchange differences recognised in other comprehensive income previously and accumulated in foreign exchange
reserve shall be reclassified from currency translation reserve to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss arising from the
disposal. When a foreign operation is partially disposed, a proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the foreign
exchange differences recognised in other comprehensive income shall attribute to the non-controlling interests in that foreign
operation, and only the proportionate share of accumulated currency translation reserve is reclassify to profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the
foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.
Employee Benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses, social security contributions, paid annual leave and sick leave, are accrued and recognised as
an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group.
(ii) Defined contribution plan
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity (a
fund) and has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets
to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current or prior periods.
As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the statutory pension scheme, the Employees Provident
Fund (EPF). Some of the Groups foreign subsidiaries make contributions to their respective countries statutory pension
scheme. Such contributions incurred are expensed to profit or loss.
89
NOTES TO THE

Employee Benefits (contd)
(iii) Share-based compensation
The Company operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan for eligible directors and employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries. Employee services received in exchange for the grant of the share options is recognised
as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding increase in equity.
The fair value of the share option is computed using the Black-Scholes model or any other appropriate models as maybe
decided by the Group from time to time.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of share options that are expected to
vest by the vesting date. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a
corresponding adjustment to equity. The equity amount is recognised in the share option reserve until the option is
exercised, upon which it will be transferred to share premium, or until the option expires or cancelled, upon which it will
be transferred directly to retained earnings.
The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transactions costs are credited to share capital (nominal value)
and share premium when the options are exercised.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that
necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets,
until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary
investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible
for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Taxation
Income tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Current 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 or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current tax for current
and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or recoverable).
90
NOTES TO THE

Taxation (contd)
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is accounted for, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the end of the reporting period
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. In principle, deferred
tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible
temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit
will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be
utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of
assets or liabilities in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither
the accounting profit nor taxable profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it
is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered.
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 tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The
measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which
the Group and the Company expect, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets
and liabilities. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the profit or loss, except when it arises from a transaction which is
recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to equity, or when it arises
from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set-off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes by same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its
current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the property, plant and equipment. Subsequent
costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable
that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is de-recognised. 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 life.
Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment is computed on the straight line method to allocate the cost of the
assets, to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, summarised as follows:
Buildings
Plant and machinery
Mechanical and electrical
Office equipment, furniture and fittings
Motor vehicles
Building renovations

NOTES TO THE

Property, Plant and Equipment (contd)
Residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indications
exist, the carrying amount of the asset is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount.
Gain or losses on disposals are determined by comparing net disposal proceeds with carrying amount and are recognised in
profit or loss.
Assets Acquired Under Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group assumes substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are
classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present
value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to
achieve a periodic constant rate of interest on the balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance
charges, are included in borrowings. The interest element of the finance charge is charged to profit or loss over the lease
period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
All other property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the estimated useful life on the
same basis as owned assets.
Investment Properties
Investment properties, comprising buildings, are held for long term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and are
not occupied by the Group.
Investment properties are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Investment properties
are depreciated on the straight line basis to write off the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives of 50 years.
On disposal of an investment property, or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are
expected from its disposal, it shall be de-recognised. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount is taken to profit or loss in the period of the retirement or disposal.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets comprising concession rights and the intangible asset model, as defined in IC Interpretation 12 are stated
at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Amortisation of these intangible assets is computed using the straight line method over the period of the concession.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication
exists, the carrying amount is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount.
92
NOTES TO THE

Intangible Assets (contd)
The intangible asset model, as defined in IC Interpretation 12, applies to service concession arrangements where the grantor
has not provided a contractual guarantee in respect of the amount receivable for constructing and operating the asset. Under
this model, during the construction or upgrade phase, the Group records an intangible asset representing the right to charge
users of the public service and recognised profits from the construction or upgrade of the public service infrastructure.
Income and expenses associated with construction contracts are recognised in accordance with MFRS 111 Construction
Contracts.
Borrowing costs incurred in connection with an arrangement falling within the scope of IC Interpretation 12 will be expensed
as incurred, unless the Group recognises an intangible asset under the Interpretation. In this case, borrowing costs are
capitalised in accordance with the general rules of MFRS 123 Borrowing Costs.
Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the
recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not
possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate
assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cashgenerating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least
annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated
future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments
of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been
adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying
amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised
immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is
treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to
the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in
prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried
at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Costs of consumable spares are determined using the weighted average method and comprise the original cost of purchase
plus the cost of bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the selling expenses.

NOTES TO THE

Construction Contracts
When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs are recognised
over the period of the contract as revenue and expenses respectively. The Group uses the percentage of completion method
to determine the appropriate amount of revenue and costs to recognise in a given period; the stage of completion is measured
by reference to the certified work done to date or the proportion the contract costs incurred for work performed to date
compared to the estimated total contract costs.
When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent
of contract costs incurred that is probable will be recoverable; contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in
which they are incurred.
Irrespective whether the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, when it is probable that total contract
costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
The aggregate of the costs incurred and the attributable profit or loss recognised on each contract is compared against the
progress billings up to the financial year end. When costs incurred plus attributable profits (less foreseeable losses, if any),
exceed progress billings, the balance is shown as amounts due from customers on construction contracts under receivables
(within current assets). Where progress billings exceed costs incurred plus attributable profits (less foreseeable losses, if
any), the balance is shown as amounts due to customers on construction contracts under payables (within current liabilities).
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, when it is
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount
of the obligation can be made. Provisions are measured at the Directors best estimate of the amount required to settle the
obligation by the end of the reporting period, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
At the end of each reporting period, provisions are reviewed by the Directors and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
Provisions are reversed if it is no longer probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Group and the Company become a party to the
contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable
to the acquisition or issue of the financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities
at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities,
as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial Assets
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
(FVTPL), held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets and loans and receivables. The
classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way
purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established
by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
94
NOTES TO THE

Financial Assets (contd)
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest
income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts
(including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and
other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the
net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at
FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has
a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise
arise; or
the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its
performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Groups documented risk management or
investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and MFRS 139 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or
loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and
is included in the other gains and losses line item in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity
dates that the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity
investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment.
95
NOTES TO THE

AFS financial assets
AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and
receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at FVTPL. All AFS assets are measured at fair value at the end
of the reporting period. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income
and accumulated in the available-for-sale reserve, with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the
effective interest method, and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss.
Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in
the available-for-sale reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
AFS equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably
measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity investments are measured
at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of the reporting period.
Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Groups right to receive the dividends is
established.
The fair value of AFS monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated
at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. The foreign exchange gains and losses that are recognised in profit or loss
are determined based on the amortised cost of the monetary asset. Other foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised
in other comprehensive income.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition
of interest would be immaterial.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that
occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been
affected.
For equity investments classified as AFS, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is
considered to be objective evidence of impairment.
For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or
the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
96
NOTES TO THE

Impairment of financial assets (contd)
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually
are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables
could include the Groups past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the
portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate
with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the
assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial assets original
effective interest rate.
For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the assets
carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for
a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception
of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of a provision account. When a trade receivable
is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the provision account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously
written off are credited against the provision account. Changes in the carrying amount of the provision account are recognised
in profit or loss.
When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other
comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases
and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously
recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the
date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been
recognised.
In respect of AFS equity securities, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit
or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated under the heading of available-for-sale reserve. In respect of AFS debt securities, impairment losses are
subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to
an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when
it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the
Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred
asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If
the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues
to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateral borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the assets carrying amount and the sum of the
consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive
income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
97
NOTES TO THE

Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its
liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group and the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct
issue costs.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL where the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at
FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
it has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near future; or
it is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual
pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise
arise; or
the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its
performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Groups documented risk management or
investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and MFRS 139 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit
or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included
in the other gains and losses line item in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
98
NOTES TO THE

Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments (contd)
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest
expense recognised on an effective yield basis.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest
expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments
through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Groups obligations are discharged, cancelled or they
expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid or
payable is recognised in profit or loss.
Statements of Cash Flows
The Group and the Company adopt the indirect method in the preparation of the statements of cash flows.
Cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments, that
are readily convertible to cash with insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts that form an
integral part of the Groups cash management. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the
statements of financial position.
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of pledged deposits and
restricted cash and bank balances. Restricted cash and bank balances represent amount frozen in subsidiaries as described
in Note 25.
Cash and cash equivalents (other than bank overdrafts) are categorised and measured as loans and receivables.
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 revenue and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Groups other components. An
operating segments operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, which is the Executive Committee,
to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial
information is available.
Contingent Liabilities
The Group does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements. A contingent
liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a present obligation that is not
recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a sufficiently
reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.

NOTES TO THE
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

(i) Critical judgements in applying the Groups accounting policies
In the process of applying the Groups accounting policies, which are described in Note 3 above, the Directors are of the
opinion that there are no instances of application of judgement which are expected to have significant effect on the
amounts recognised in the financial statements.
(ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The Directors believe that there are no key assumptions made concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation
uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year except as disclosed below:
(a) Impairment of Intangible Assets
Determining whether the intangible assets are impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the
intangible assets. Note 17 provides information about the key bases and assumptions used by the Directors in the
estimation of the recoverable amounts.
The Directors are of the opinion that the bases and assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amounts
are reasonable.
(b) Impairment of Goodwill on Consolidation
The Group reviews the carrying amount of goodwill on consolidation annually by comparing to the recoverable amount
of the cash generating unit to determine whether there is impairment. The recoverable amount is determined based
on the estimation of the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated. The key assumptions used in
the estimation of the recoverable amount are disclosed in Note 21.
(c) Impairment of Investment in Subsidiaries
The Company reviews the carrying amount of investment in subsidiaries. The recoverable amount of the investment
in subsidiaries has been determined on the basis of its value in use. The key assumptions used in the estimation of
the value in use are disclosed in Note 18.
(d) Deferred Tax Assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits
to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required
to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of
future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
(e) Construction Contracts
The Group recognises contract revenue and cost based on percentage of completion method. The stage of completion
is measured by reference to the contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total
contract costs. Significant judgment is required in determining the stage of completion, the extent of the contract
costs incurred, the estimated total contract revenue (for contracts other than fixed price contracts) and contract
costs, as well as the recoverability of the contracts. Total contract revenue also includes an estimation of the
recoverable variation works that are recoverable from the customers. In making these judgments, the Group relies
on past experience and work of specialists.

(ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (contd)
(f) Revenue and Cost Recognition for Intangible Asset model
A subsidiary, Ningxia ECO Wastewater Treatment Co Ltd, which adopts the intangible asset model as defined in IC
Interpretation 12, has recognised a construction margin of 10% in the construction of its wastewater treatment
facility. Income and expenses associated with the said construction are recognised based on percentage of completion
method. The estimated margin is based on relative comparison with general industry trend although actual margins
may differ due to location, materials and other pricing considerations.
(g) Trade Receivables and Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received and receivable. The Group has made an estimate
on the timing of repayment for trade receivable based on past payment trend.
Of the total amount of the Groups trade receivables amounting to RM350,343,000 (2012: RM340,552,000),
RM311,344,000 (2012: RM285,511,000) is concentrated in two customers. Disclosure of the critical estimates
made to the carrying amount of these receivables is set out in Note 23.
(h) Litigations
The Group, having considered the legal advice from the external solicitors and other evidences, has assessed and
determined its obligation that could arise from the legal claims as disclosed in Note 41.
5. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Group has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the chief operating decision maker
which is the Executive Committee, used to make strategic decisions and performance review:
Water
Management, operations and maintenance of water treatment plants and water distribution systems.
Waste management
Provision of management and technical services relating to waste management.
Construction
Provision of contracting, project and management services relating to construction contracts.
Toll highway
Provision of operation and maintenance of toll expressway.
Others
Investment holding and trading in equipment for environment protection and water treatment and
provision of related services.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Groups accounting policies described in Note 3.
Segment results represent the profit earned by each segment without share of profits of associate and income tax expense.
This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment
of segment performance.

The intangible assets of the Group consist of the following:

(a) a 21-year concession right (expiring in October 2025) to operate, use and maintain the Tianjin Panlou Domestic Waste
Transfer Station and its related assets in Tianjin, Peoples Republic of China acquired by a subsidiary, Tianjin-SWM (M)
Environment Co Ltd, in 2004 for a cash consideration of RMB40,000,000 (RM18,294,000) on a takeover-operatetransfer basis. The concession grants rights to the subsidiary to transport household waste to the municipal landfills and
in return collect tipping fees from the local city council based on incoming tonnage of household waste deposited at the
transfer station at a rate in accordance with the concession agreement;
(b) a wastewater treatment facility constructed by a subsidiary, Puresino (Guanghan) Water Co Ltd, whereby the subsidiary
has been granted a 30-year concession (expiring in July 2033) by the Construction and Planning Bureau of Guanghan
City under a build-operate-transfer basis to undertake, manage and operate the Guanghan Wastewater Treatment Plant
in Guanghan City, Sichuan, Peoples Republic of China. Commercial operations commenced in September 2007 to treat
domestic and industrial wastewater and the subsidiary is entitled to levy a charge on the local government on the volume
of wastewater effluent treated at the facility at a rate pre-determined by both parties;
117
NOTES TO THE
17. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (contd)

(c) an industrial wastewater and recycled water treatment facilities proposed to be constructed by a subsidiary, Ningxia ECO
Wastewater Treatment Co Ltd, whereby the subsidiary undertakes the construction and management of the Linhe
Integrated Industrial Park Wastewater and Recycled Water Treatment Plant in Ningdong Energy Chemical Base in
Yinchuan, Peoples Republic of China under build-operate-transfer basis (the Facility). The subsidiary has been granted
a 30-year concession expiring in June 2040 to construct and operate the Facility.
During the financial year, negotiations have been made with Yinchuan Ningdong Energy and Chemical Base Management
Committee (the Grantor) to take over the ownership of the Facility. The subsidiary is in negotiation with the Grantor
for a higher termination value of the concession right and has engaged an independent valuer to perform a valuation of
the Facility;
(d) a 30-year concession right (expiring in September 2041) to operate, use and maintain four municipal wastewater
treatment plants with recycled facilities in Yinchuan, Peoples Republic of China acquired by a subsidiary, Taliworks
(Yinchuan) Wastewater Co Ltd for a total consideration of RMB810,000,000 (RM407,754,000) on a takeover-operatetransfer basis which was funded by internal funds of the Group and bank borrowings. The facilities were officially takenover on 29 December 2011 and the revenue for wastewater treated and sale of recycled water to be collected from a
local government entity is calculated at a rate in accordance with the concession agreement.
An impairment review of the carrying amounts of the intangible assets at the end of the reporting year has been undertaken
by the Directors. The said review involves the estimation of the recoverable amounts of the intangible assets, which are
based on value in use calculations.
The key bases and assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amounts of the intangible assets are as follows:
(a) Tianjin Panlou Domestic Waste Transfer Station
(i) Tonnage is estimated at 1,050 tonnes/day in 2014 until the end of the concession period expiring in October 2025;
(ii) The tipping fee for basic tonnage is estimated to be RMB57.36/tonne in 2014 and increases by 2% per annum in
accordance with the concession agreement; whereas the tipping fee for extra tonnage is estimated to be
RMB26/tonne in 2014 and increases by RMB1/tonne per annum;
(iii) Expenses to increase by 3% per annum;
(iv) Truck replacements to be incurred over a 9 year cycle; and
(v) Pre-tax discount rate of 8%.
(b) Guanghan Wastewater Treatment Plant
The key bases and assumptions used in the estimation of its recoverable amount are disclosed in Note 21.
118
NOTES TO THE
17. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (contd)

(c) Linhe Integrated Industrial Park Wastewater and Recycled Water Treatment Plant
The Group held negotiations with the Grantor to take-over the Facility which was in-progress as at the end of the financial
year. The Grantor has made an offer to take-over the ownership of the Facility at a termination value of RMB38,571,000
(RM20,871,000). Subsequently, a negotiation for a higher termination value of the concession right is held and the
Group engaged a firm of valuers to determine the fair value of the Facilities. The valuation exercise is still ongoing as at
the end of the financial year.
In the absence of a final negotiated termination value, the Group has assessed the impairment on the intangible asset
by comparing the carrying value of the intangible asset as of 31 December 2013 against the termination value offered
by the Grantor and arising thereof, the Group has recognised an impairment loss of intangible asset of approximately
RMB19,652,000 (RM10,144,000) during the financial year, as disclosed in Note 9.
(d) Yinchuan Wastewater and Recycled Water Treatment Plant

(i) Quantity of wastewater treated is estimated at 331 million liters per day (MLD) in 2014, 370 MLD in 2015 and
400 MLD from 2016 until the end of the concession period expiring in September 2041; whereas quantity of sales
of recycled water is estimated to be 17 MLD in 2014, 23 MLD in 2015 and thereafter, increase by 1 MLD a year
until the end of the concession period;
(ii) Expenses to increase by 3% per annum;
(iii) Estimated additional capital expenditure of RMB630,000,000 (RM340,893,000) for the expansion and upgrading
of plant facility required to be incurred in 2014 to 2016. The expansion and upgrading is required to be undertaken
by the Group to comply with the terms of the concession agreement;
(iv) The tariff rate for wastewater treated is estimated to be RMB0.80/m3 in 2014 and increases to RMB1.75/m3 for
Plant 3 from 2015, with a subsequent tariff revision every two years based on an annual increment of 3%. The new
rate will be applied to Plant 2 in 2016 and Plants 1 and 4 in 2017, after completion of expansion and upgrading
works in 2014 to 2016; and
(v) Pre-tax discount rate of 8%.
The recoverable amount of the intangible assets have been estimated by the Directors based on the abovementioned bases
and assumptions as to future events which the Directors expect to take place and actions which the Directors expect to take
as of the time the recoverable amounts were estimated. While information may be available to support the bases and
assumptions on which the recoverable amounts of the intangible assets were based, such information is generally future
oriented and anticipated events may not occur as expected which may result in the variation of the recoverable amounts.
However, the Directors are of the opinion that the key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amounts are
reasonable and there is no impairment to the carrying amounts of the intangible assets other than as disclosed above.
In respect of (a) and (d) above, if the estimated pre-tax discount rate applied to the discounted cash flows had been 10%
instead of 8% as of 31 December 2013, the intangible assets would not be impacted.

NOTES TO THE
21. GOODWILL ON CONSOLIDATION (contd)

Goodwill on consolidation arose from the acquisition of Puresino (Guanghan) Water Co Ltd by Taliworks (Sichuan) Ltd, an
80% owned subsidiary of the Company in May 2007.
An impairment review of the carrying value of the goodwill at the end of the reporting year was undertaken by comparing to
the recoverable amount, which was based on value in use calculations.
The key bases and assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount are as follows:
(a) Quantity of wastewater treated to increase from 27,608 tonnes/day in 2014, 40,000 tonnes/day in 2015, 42,000
tonnes/day in 2016 and 2017, 45,000 tonnes/day in 2018 and reaches maximum production capacity of 50,000
tonnes/day in 2022;
(b) The tariff rate is estimated to be RMB1.15/m3 throughout the concession period. This tariff rate is subject to review
every two years;
(c) Expenses to increase by 4.0% - 6.0% per annum;
(d) Capital expenditure to be incurred over a 5 - 10 year cycle to replace the machinery equipment; and
(e) Pre-tax discount rate of 8.0%.
The Directors are of the opinion that the underlying key bases and assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable
amount are reasonable and there is no impairment to the carrying amount of goodwill.
If the estimated pre-tax discount rate applied to the discounted cash flows had been 10.0% instead of 8.0% as of 31
December 2013, the goodwill will be impaired by RM1,179,000.
22. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS/(LIABILITIES)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against
current tax liability and when the deferred taxes relate to the same tax authority. The following amounts, determined after

The average credit period granted to the customers ranges from 45 days to 60 days. No interest is charged on trade
receivables, even for those which are past due.
Of the total trade receivables of the Group of RM350,343,000 (2012: RM340,552,000), RM311,344,000 (2012:
RM285,511,000) is concentrated in two customers. These customers are the Kedah State Government together with Syarikat
Air Darul Aman Sdn Bhd (SADA), a corporatised body under the Kedah State Government and Syarikat Pengeluar Air
Sungai Selangor Sdn Bhd (SPLASH), the concession holder for Sungai Selangor Water Supply Scheme Phase 1.
(a) Kedah State Government and SADA
The gross invoiced amount due from the Kedah State Government together with SADA as of 31 December 2013 is
RM51,670,000 (2012: RM54,167,000), out of which RM50,323,000 (2012: RM54,167,000) was deemed by Group
to be current, based on its assessment of past collection trends.
(i) Amount due from the Kedah State Government
As of 1 January 2013, the balance owing by the Kedah State Government amounted to RM21,473,000 (2012:
RM37,995,000).
During the financial year, the Kedah State Government paid RM10,478,000 and further offered to settle
RM9,648,000 via various scheduled payments, commencing from May 2014 to November 2014. Hence, the Group
assumed that the Kedah State Government will honour the balance of the scheduled payments of RM9,648,000 in
the next twelve months. Accordingly, these amounts are classified as current and the remaining gross invoiced
amount of RM1,347,000 has been classified as non-current.
Accordingly, the non-current portion of the amount receivable represents the net balance after provision for
discounting amounted to RM80,000 (2012: RMNil). The amount due is carried at amortised cost and was
discounted using rates ranging from 4% to 5%.
In 2012, as a result of the improvement in collection, a reversal of provision for discounting of RM2,391,000 was
made.
131
NOTES TO THE

(a) Kedah State Government and SADA (contd)
(ii) Amount due from SADA
As the payments from SADA have been regular, it is assumed that all outstanding amounts due from SADA will be
repaid within the next 12 months and as such, classified as current.
In 2012, a provision for impairment of RM1,656,000 was made in the financial statements, which has been written
off during the financial year.
The Group believes that the credit risk relating to the amounts owing by the Kedah State Government and SADA to be
minimal as the amounts are due from government and the related entities.
If the Groups expectations on the timing of payments are extended by a year and all other variables being constant, the
receivable due from Kedah State Government would be further discounted by approximately RM2,105,000 (2012:
RM2,143,000).
(b) SPLASH
The amounts due from SPLASH are segregated between amounts due under the Debt Settlement Agreement and invoiced
amounts, as detailed below:
(i) Debt Settlement Agreement (DSA)
Arising from the DSA with SPLASH in 2005, a total of RM64,827,000 was agreed to be settled via ten installments,
commencing from 31 December 2006 and ending on 31 December 2015.
As of 31 December 2013, the amount due from SPLASH under the DSA is RM31,378,000 (2012: RM38,276,000).
The non-current portion of the installments payable representing the net balance after provision for the 10th
installment under the DSA amounted to RM10,978,000 (2012: RM21,015,000, comprising the 9th to 10th
installments). The amount due under the DSA is carried at amortised cost and was discounted using rates ranging
from 3% to 5%. If the installments are delayed by a year, an additional provision for discounting of RM1,340,000
(2012: RM1,651,000) will be required.
(ii) Invoiced Amounts
Subsequent to the current financial year, the Federal Government and the Selangor State Government signed a
Memorandum of Understanding to facilitate the restructuring of the water sector in Selangor, paving the way for the
Selangor State Government to acquire and consolidate all water concessionaires operating in the state. However,
not all of the water concessionaires accepted the latest offer by the Selangor State Government, thus the matter
remains unresolved, resulting in a continued impasse.
Due to the uncertainty relating to the future outcome of the impasse, SPLASHs receipts from Syarikat Bekalan Air
Selangor Sdn Bhd, the concessionaire for the supply of treated water in Selangor is expected to continue to be
delayed, thus affecting its ability to make timely payments to the Group.
132
NOTES TO THE

(b) SPLASH (contd)
(ii) Invoiced Amounts (contd)
As such, the gross invoiced amounts due from SPLASH as of 31 December 2013 amounting to RM260,230,000
(2012: RM217,643,000) not expected to be fully received within the next twelve months. During the financial year,
there has been further improvement in amount of collection from SPLASH as compared to the previous financial
year due to higher billings of subsequent invoices and therefore, the Group estimates that approximately
RM88,800,000 will be received within the next twelve months, up from the previous estimate of RM82,000,000.
The balance outstanding of RM171,430,000 is expected to be received progressively between 2015 to 2017 and
accordingly, has been classified as non-current.
As a result of this improvement in collection, a reversal of provision for discounting of RM13,930,000 (2012:
RM25,581,000) has been made in the financial year.
If the Groups expectations on the timing of payments are extended by a year and all other variables being constant,
the invoiced amounts due from SPLASH would require an additional provision for discounting of RM26,032,000
(2012: RM22,192,000).

33. RETAINED EARNINGS

In accordance with the Finance Act 2007, the single tier income tax system became effective from the year of assessment
2008. Under this system, tax on a companys profit is a final tax, and dividends paid are exempted from tax in the hands of
the shareholders. Unlike the previous full imputation system, the recipient of the dividend would no longer be able to claim
any tax credit.
Companies with Section 108 tax credit are given an irrevocable option to disregard tax credit or to continue to utilise such
tax credits until the tax credits are fully utilised or upon the expiry of the 6 year transitional period on 31 December 2013,
whichever is earlier. During the transitional period, the Section 108 tax credit will be reduced by any tax credits utilised and
any tax paid will not be added to this account.
The Company had not previously made the irrevocable option to disregard the Section 108 tax credits. Accordingly, the
Company will be under the single tier tax system upon the expiry of the transitional period on 31 December 2013. Any
remaining balance of the Section 108 tax credits as of that date shall be disregarded.

39. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Capital Risk Management
The Groups objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Groups and Companys ability to continue as a going
concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital
structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group and Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, institute share-buy-backs or increase the level of debt.
Consistent with others in the industry, the Group and Company monitor capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio
is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and noncurrent borrowings as shown in the statements of financial position) less deposits, cash and bank balances and availablefor-sale financial assets. Total capital is the total equity attributable to Owners of the Company as shown in the statements
of financial position.

NOTES TO THE

Financial Risk Management Objectives
The Groups activities in the normal course of business expose it to a variety of financial risks, including foreign currency,
interest rate, credit and liquidity risks. The Groups overall financial risk management objective is to minimise potential
adverse effects of these risks on the financial performance of the Group. Financial risk management is carried out through
risk reviews, internal control systems and adherence to prudent financial risk management policies.
The Group does not use derivative financial instruments as the nature and size of its financial assets and liabilities do not
warrant the use of such instruments at present. It does not trade in financial instruments.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes
in foreign exchange rates. The Groups exposure to foreign currency risk as a result of foreign currency transactions is
significant as a sizeable of the Groups financial assets and liabilities are denominated in foreign currency due to certain
subsidiaries operating in foreign jurisdictions.
The Group maintains a natural hedge, whenever possible, by borrowing in the currency of the country in which the investment
is located or by borrowing in currencies that match the future revenue stream to be generated from its investments.
Sensitivity analysis for foreign currency risk
The Group is mainly exposed to the foreign currency risk of Chinese Renminbi.
5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents
managements assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes
only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at year end for a 5% change in
foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Group
where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the currency of the lender or the borrower. If Chinese Renminbi
strengthens/weakens against RM by 5%, with all other variables held constant, the Groups pre-tax profit for the financial
year would have been RM14,022,000 (2012: RM12,527,000) higher/lower.
In managements opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the
exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the Groups financial instruments will fluctuate due to
changes in market interest rates. Interest rate exposure primarily arises from the Groups deposits and borrowings. Borrowings
obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group closely monitors the interest rate trend on
an ongoing basis. Decisions in respect of fixed or floating rate debt structure and tenure of borrowings and deposits are
made based on the expected trend of interest rate movements.
148
NOTES TO THE

Financial Risk Management Objectives (contd)
Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk
At the end of the reporting period, if interest rates had been 100 basis points lower/higher, with all other variables held
constant, the Groups and the Companys pre-tax profit/loss for the financial year would have been RM3,362,000 and
RM355,000 (2012: RM3,144,000 and RM457,000) higher/lower respectively, arising mainly as a result of lower/higher
finance costs on floating rate borrowings. The assumed movement in basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is
based on a prudent estimate of the current market environment.
The above sensitivity analysis prepared by management excludes finance lease liabilities as their interest rates are fixed at
the inception of the financing arrangement.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations. It arises when services or sales are made on deferred credit terms. The credit risk of the Group is concentrated
in a few customers. The Group considers the risk of material loss in the event of non-performance by the financial counterparty or customer to be unlikely beyond amounts allowed for collection losses in the Groups trade receivables. Further
disclosure is made in Note 23.
Maximum exposure to credit risk
At the end of the reporting period, the Groups and the Companys maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the
carrying amount of their trade and other receivables as disclosed in the statements of financial position, in the event that
all their customers fail to perform their obligations as of 31 December 2013.
Investment in available-for-sale financial assets is only allowed in liquid securities and only with financial institutions that
has a sound credit rating. Available-for-sale financial assets comprise investment in quoted unit trusts in money market
securities instruments that are managed by companies that are authorised to issue or offer for purchase of units of a Unit
Trust Scheme as defined under the Capital Markets and Services Act, 2007 of Malaysia.
The Group does not hold any collateral or credit enhancements to cover its credit risks associated with its receivables.
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit
ratings or to historical information about counterparty default rates:
Deposits, bank and cash balances (Note 25)

NOTES TO THE

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due. Liquidity
risk is managed by maintaining an adequate level of cash reserves and committed credit facilities, and close monitoring of
working capital requirements. The Group seeks to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.
If required, the Group will raise additional funds through external borrowings or from the capital markets.
In circumstances where current liabilities exceeded current assets and there is a deficit in shareholders funds, the Company
may undertake to provide financial support to its subsidiaries so as to enable the subsidiaries to meet their liabilities as and
when they fall due.

40. FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION

The fair value of investment in unlisted collective investment scheme is generally determined based on the last published
repurchase price per unit of such collective investment scheme.
For unquoted fixed income securities in general, fair values have been estimated by reference to quotes published by Bond
Pricing Agency.
For deposits and placements with financial institutions with maturities of less than twelve months, the carrying value is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair
value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities.
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability
that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Deposit, cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables, intercompany indebtedness, trade and other payables and
short-term borrowings.
The carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to short maturity of these instruments.
Long-term borrowings and finance lease liabilities
The fair values of these financial instruments are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on current borrowing
rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. There is no material difference between the fair values and carrying values
of the finance lease liabilities as of the reporting date. The Groups and the Companys long-term borrowings bear interest
at floating rates and hence, their carrying amounts approximate fair values.

41. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Litigations
(i) Hua Sheng Construction Group Co Ltd (Hua Sheng) against Ningxia Eco Wastewater Treatment Co Ltd (Ningxia Eco),
a subsidiary of the Company
Hua Sheng and Ningxia Eco had, on 17 October 2010, entered into a Main Contractor Agreement, in which Hua Sheng
was responsible for the construction works and procurement of equipment and materials for a wastewater project
undertaken by Ningxia Eco.
On 3 November 2011, Hua Sheng filed an arbitration application in the China International Economic and Trade
Arbitration Commission, Shanghai (CIETAC) against Ningxia Eco for the termination of the Main Contractor Agreement
on 6 September 2011. Hua Sheng has amongst others, claimed for:
(a) construction deposit amounted to RMB3,160,000 (RM1,551,000);
(b) unpaid contract price of RMB6,533,000 (RM3,206,000); and
(c) penalty breach in performing the equipment procurement contract in the sum of RMB3,648,000 (RM1,790,000).
After few arbitral hearings held in the current financial year, Ningxia Eco had on 12 July 2012 received the decision in
respect of the arbitration from CIETAC dated 10 July 2012. The main decisions of the arbitration award are as follows:
(a) Ningxia Eco shall pay the construction deposit of RMB1,550,000 (RM761,000) to Hua Sheng upon receipt of a
bank performance bond;
(b) Ningxia Eco shall pay the contract sum amounting to RMB3,654,000 (RM1,794,000) to Hua Sheng;
(c) Ningxia Eco shall pay a late payment penalty on the principal sum of RMB1,610,000 (RM790,000), at the
corresponding base lending rate (BLR) as quoted by the Peoples Bank of China from 13 June 2011 to 21 July
2011 to Hua Sheng, amounting to RMB10,321 (RM5,000);
(d) Ningxia Eco shall pay a late payment penalty on a construction deposit of RMB1,550,000 (RM761,000) at the
corresponding BLR as quoted by the Peoples Bank of China from 13 June 2011 to 1 April 2012 to Hua Sheng,
amounting to RMB74,909 (RM37,000);
(e) Ningxia Eco is required to partially bear Hua Shengs legal fee for arbitration amounting to RMB742,000
(RM365,000); and
(f) The arbitration cost of RMB516,126 (RM253,000) shall be borne by Ningxia Eco and Hua Sheng in the proportion
of 70% (RMB361,288 or RM177,000) and 30% (RMB154,378 or RM76,000) respectively.
Ningxia Eco had not received the bank performance bond as construction deposits from Hua Sheng and therefore,
Ningxia Eco has no obligation to pay the said deposits to Hua Sheng. The contract sum and other associated costs
totaling RMB4,845,000 (RM2,378,000) have been adequately accrued for in the previous years financial statements.

(i) Hua Sheng Construction Group Co Ltd (Hua Sheng) against Ningxia Eco Wastewater Treatment Co Ltd (Ningxia Eco),
a subsidiary of the Company (contd)
During the financial year, Hua Sheng had applied for a further arbitration from CIETAC and Ningxia Eco had on 15
October 2013 received a new arbitration notice. The details of the arbitration application are as follows:
(a) The penalty for breach of contract to be borne by Ningxia Eco shall be raised from the rate stated in the contract
i.e., 8% to 20% of the total contract value;
(b) The penalty amount to be paid by Ningxia Eco would be equivalent to RMB11,298,900, being the total contract
value of RMB63,200,000 x 89.39% x 20% (work done before termination of contract was 10.61%); and
(c) Ningxia Eco shall bear the arbitration cost, Hua Shengs legal cost and property preservation fee.
The first arbitral hearing was held on 17 January 2014, whereby, Ningxia Eco has filed a counter-claim on Hua Sheng
for breach of contract based on the ground that Hua Sheng has stopped project work without the consent of Ningxia
Eco. Due to Ningxia Ecos counter-claim, a second arbitral hearing will be fixed and the parties were ordered to submit
further evidence.
The Directors of the Company, supported by legal advice, are of the opinion that the success of the claim against the
Company is remote and, accordingly, no provision for the loss has been made in the financial statements.

Explanatory Notes to Special Business: 1. Authority to Issue Shares
The proposed Resolution 6 is intended to renew the authority granted to the Directors of the Company at the Twenty Second
Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 26 June 2013 to issue and allot shares at any time to such persons in their
absolute discretion without convening a general meeting provided that the aggregate number of the shares issued does not
exceed 10% of the issued share capital of the Company for the time being (hereinafter referred to as the General Mandate).
The General Mandate granted by the shareholders at the Twenty Second Annual General Meeting of the Company held on
26 June 2013 had not been utilised and hence, no proceed was raised therefrom.
The new General Mandate will enable the Directors to take swift action for allotment of new shares for any possible fund
raising activities, including but not limited to placing of new shares, for the purpose of funding future investment project(s),
working capital and/or acquisition(s) and to avoid delay and cost in convening general meetings to approve such issue of
new shares.
