CHAIRMAN’S
STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors (“Board”),


I am pleased to present the Annual Report
and Audited Financial Statements of
Genting Berhad (“Company”) and its group
of companies (“Group”) for the financial
year ended 31 December 2019.

2019 has been a year of regulatory changes,


geopolitical uncertainties and economic
headwinds that impacted local and global
economies, including our businesses. It
was a year of perseverance as our Group
implemented various strategies and
efficiency measures to overcome these
challenges and delivered a set of resilient
results.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

The Group recorded total revenue of RM21.6 billion in 2019, an increase of 4% year-on-year while adjusted earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“adjusted EBITDA”) was RM7.9 billion in 2019, a decline of 3% year-on-year.
Pre-tax profit for the Group was RM4.6 billion in 2019, an increase of 34% year-on-year mainly due to the impairment loss
recorded in 2018 of RM1.8 billion on Genting Malaysia’s investment in promissory notes. These results were predominantly
contributed by the Group’s leisure and hospitality division.

Genting Singapore recorded a marginal decline in revenue and earnings as the business from Resorts World Sentosa was
challenged by geopolitical uncertainties and economic volatilities.

Genting Malaysia recorded higher revenue from Resorts World Genting mainly due to an improved hold percentage in the
mid to premium players segments. However, the earnings from Genting Malaysia declined mainly due to higher casino
duties imposed on its operations in Malaysia.

Genting Plantations recorded higher revenue mainly due to higher sales volume from Downstream Manufacturing. Fresh
fruit bunches production grew 5% year-on-year contributed by its Indonesia operations, on the back of increased harvesting
area and better age profile.

Genting Energy posted lower revenue mainly due to lower net generation by the Banten power plant and lower coal prices.
Genting Energy’s earnings declined due to lower revenue and impairment loss on receivable from a power plant in India.
The revenue and earnings from the Oil & Gas division were lower mainly due to lower production, despite higher average oil
prices achieved in 2019.

More details of our financial performance are disclosed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Business Operations
and Financial Performance section in this Annual Report.

Updates (7 April 2020)

The paragraphs below supersede in full all the paragraphs above under the header “Prospects”. Shareholders should not rely
on the preceding section under Prospects but should instead refer to the two paragraphs below for the Group’s prospects.

The COVID-19 outbreak has evolved into a global pandemic, adversely affecting economies worldwide due to the widespread
imposition of travel restrictions, constraints on the movement of people and the suspension of many business operations to
curb the spread of this virus. The Group has temporarily suspended most of its operations in Malaysia since 18 March 2020,
in compliance with the Movement Control Order (“MCO”) announced by the Prime Minister of Malaysia on 16 March 2020.
Similarly, as required by the respective authorities, most of the Group’s worldwide operations are temporarily closed until
further notice to curb the spread of COVID-19.

These are unprecedented and extremely challenging times for the Group. The spread of the COVID-19 threat and its impact
on economies worldwide are major concerns globally and to the Group. As at the date of this update, the MCO is still in force
in Malaysia and the Singapore Government has announced the implementation of COVID-19 circuit breaker measures to
pre-empt escalating COVID-19 infections. These circuit breaker measures will come into effect on 7 April 2020. Crude palm
oil prices have been volatile and are expected to remain volatile as more countries go into lockdown due to the COVID-19
outbreak. In addition, oil prices have been volatile and are expected to remain highly volatile. The situation globally will
remain fluid as world-wide governments’ responses to the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve rapidly to contain the
outbreak. Given these unprecedented times of uncertainty, it is not prudent at this time to issue any statement on the
Group’s prospects.

8 DOWNSTREAM MANUFACTURING

The low crude palm oil price environment for most
parts of 2019 worked in favour of the Downstream
Manufacturing Division of Genting Plantations,
which turned in a noteworthy performance.

Genting Plantations’ Genting MusimMas Refinery
(“GMMR”) achieved its highest capacity utilisation
of 79% since it started operation in the January
2017. This feat was made possible as it continued
to expand its market reach by leveraging on the
marketing channel established through its joint SPC Biodiesel Plant
venture partner, the Musim Mas Group as well as its
own clientele.

The refinery also successfully obtained the MSPO certification in 2019 to add to the existing certifications from RSPO,
ISCC, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (“HACCP”), Makanan Selamat Tanggungjawab Industri (“MeSTI”),
halal and Kosher.

The biodiesel business also saw better performance with its capacity utilisation almost doubling to 85% in 2019
compared to 2018. The improved performance was due to the higher demand for discretionary blending as well as
mandatory blending in EU countries, resulting in export volume tripling to around 123,000 metric tonnes in 2019. With
the implementation of the B10 biodiesel mandate for the transportation sector and the B7 mandate for the industrial
sector by the Malaysian Government, Genting Plantations registered a 20% increase year-on-year for local biodiesel
demand in 2019. The biodiesel operations also successfully obtained the RSPO Supply Chain Certification as well as
made further improvements in its logistic and production planning during the course of 2019.

9 BIOTECHNOLOGY

In 2019, the Biotechnology Division of Genting Plantations continued to create value by intensifying research and
development efforts in advancing its marker-driven high yielding planting materials and microbial solutions for
improved plant health and productivity.

In line with Genting Plantations’ sustainability commitment for increased crop productivity and efficient land use,
great emphasis is placed on the development of intellectual property (“IP”) for the production of high yielding seeds.
The DNA markers, an integral component of the IP is currently being applied in oil palm breeding programmes to
enable the selection of parental palms for high yielding seeds production with significant reduction of breeding cycle.

2019 marked a significant commercialisation milestone as Genting AgTech Sdn Bhd (“GAT”), the seed production
unit of the Division, successfully obtained a seed production licence from Malaysian Palm Oil Board. The deployment
of genomic-based technology by GAT will pave the way to differentiate its seeds with certainty of high yields as
compared to other seed producers. To date, about 500 hectares of Genting Plantations’ estates have been planted
with the high yielding planting materials produced by GAT. Encouraging yield increment has been observed compared
to conventional DxP seeds.

GAT continues to undertake research collaborations with the Department of Agriculture Sabah (“DoA Sabah”) and
IJM Plantations Berhad for field validation of its marker-assisted screening technology. Leveraging on the wider
germplasm materials available, the Division is able to initiate big data analytics to address the long breeding cycle in
oil palm with better prospect and precision.

The focus on plant health improvement through nutrient-use efficiency and disease control was prioritised through
the Biotechnology Division’s Yield BoosterTM, a flagship biofertiliser product developed by ACGT Sdn Bhd. The
determination to elevate its quality is demonstrated by the implementation of a quality control programme to ensure
that its quality is not compromised.

The efficacy of Yield Booster has been observed with positive field results displaying the increase in yield despite a
25% reduction in the application of inorganic fertiliser. With this encouraging result, additional replanting and mature
fields have been applied with Yield Booster, bringing it to a total of 900 hectares to date.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 57
OVERVIEW STATEMENT

It is the policy of the Company to manage the affairs of the Group, in particular the Company and its directly owned unlisted
subsidiaries in accordance with the appropriate standards for good corporate governance.

The new Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (“MCCG”) issued in April 2017 supersedes the Malaysian Code on Corporate
Governance 2012.

The MCCG covers three broad principles namely Board Leadership and Effectiveness, Effective Audit & Risk Management and
Integrity in Corporate Reporting and Meaningful Relationship with Stakeholders.

Pursuant to the Main Market Listing Requirements (”MMLR”) of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”), the
Company has completed the prescribed Corporate Governance Report for financial year 2019 which is made available at the
Company’s website at www.genting.com.

This statement gave a general overview of the application of the Corporate Governance and shareholders are advised to
read the Corporate Governance Report for the full details.

Overall, the Company has applied 25 and adopted 2 out of the 36 Practices/Practice Step Up with 7 departures and 2
non-adoption under the MCCG. This reflects the Board’s strong support of the overall corporate governance objectives as
encapsulated in the MCCG for :-

• improving the Company’s corporate governance practices by creating a healthy and dynamic corporate culture that is
driven by the Board together with management;
• increasing the effectiveness of the board oversight function through the establishment of objective audit functions and
committees charged with the oversight of internal controls, risk and reporting; and
• enhancing the Company’s communication with shareholders and other stakeholders through transparent and timely
communication.

Notwithstanding the Company’s departures from Practices such as the separation of the position of the Chairman and Chief
Executive (Practice 1.3), seeking annual approval of the shareholders to retain an independent director beyond 9 and 12
years (Practice 4.2) and policy for the Board to have at least 30% women directors (Practice 4.5), the Board will continue
to evaluate and assess the Practices and at the appropriate time, take the appropriate steps to narrow the gap, especially
for women directors where initial steps had been taken to appoint a female Director to its Board. On Practice 4.6 where
the Board is recommended to utilise independent sources to identify suitable qualified candidates, the Board is open to
use such facilities where necessary. On Practice 7.2 for the disclosure on named basis of the top five senior management’s
remuneration, the alternate information provided should meet the intended objective.

Apart from the above, the key areas of focus and priorities in the future include preparing the Company for the adoption
of integrated reporting based on globally recognised framework (Practice 11.2) as well as facilitating voting in absentia and
remote shareholders’ participation at general meetings (Practice 12.3).

The stewardship of the Company under the leadership of the present Board ensures that the decisions are made objectively in
the best interest of the Company, taking into account diverse perspectives and insights.

Set out below is a summary of the extent to which the Company has applied/adopted the practices encapsulated in the
Principles of the MCCG, save for certain departure/non-adoption of the Principles of the MCCG.

Principle A – Board Leadership and Effectiveness

I. Board Responsibilities

The Board has the overall responsibility for the proper conduct of the Company’s business in achieving the objectives and
long term goals of the Company. The Company’s values and standards and the Board’s responsibilities are set out in the
Board Charter.

Corporate strategies as well as the annual plan are presented to the Board as part of the ongoing plans in achieving
the objectives and long term goals of the Company, taking into consideration its core values and standards through
the vision and mission of the Company, as set out in the Board Charter disclosed in Practice 2.1 of the Corporate
Governance Report.

Tan Sri Dr. Lin See Yan (Retired on 20 June 2019) 2 out of 2
Datuk Chin Kwai Yoong (Retired on 20 June 2019) 2 out of 2

The Chairman of the Board is Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay who is responsible for instilling good corporate governance practices,
leadership and effectiveness of the Board.

The key responsibilities of the Chairman are provided in the Corporate Governance Report.

The Board is mindful of the dual role of Chairman and Chief Executive held by Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay and is of the view
that there are sufficient experienced and independent–minded Directors on the Board to provide sufficient checks and
balances. Given that there are five experienced Independent Directors representing more than 50% of the Board, the Board
collectively would be able to function independently of management. This allows for effective oversight of the management
as well as to support objective and independent deliberation, review and decision making.

Having joined the Board in 1976, Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay has considerable experience in the Group’s businesses and provides
leadership for the Board in considering and setting the overall strategies and objectives of the Company.

The Board is of the view that it is in the interest of the Company to maintain the above arrangement so that the Board
could have the benefit of a chairman who is knowledgeable about the businesses of the Group, the territories globally
in which the Group operates in, sets the overall strategies, conceptualises plans and leads the execution of all major
development projects and investments, capable of guiding discussions at Board meetings and who is able to brief the
Board in a timely manner on key issues and developments that may directly or indirectly affect any of the businesses of
the Group. In addition to his role and duties as the Chairman and Chief Executive of the Company, he is also the Chairman
and Chief Executive of Genting Malaysia Berhad, Executive Chairman of Genting Singapore Limited and the Deputy
Chairman and Executive Director of Genting Plantations Berhad (“GENP”), after he relinquished the position of
Chief Executive of GENP on 1 January 2019.

The Chairman commenced employment with the Company in August 1975 at the age of 24. He has held various positions
during his tenure of over 40 years in the Company. He was appointed as the President and Chief Executive of the Company
on 27 November 2002, before he assumed the position of Chairman of the Company and thereafter redesignated as
Chairman, President and Chief Executive of the Company on 1 January 2004 upon the retirement of his late father, the
founder, Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong. Subsequently, he was redesignated as the Chairman and Chief Executive of the Company
on 1 July 2007. The Chairman is a beneficiary of discretionary trusts and is deemed interested in the ordinary shares
representing approximately 42.7% voting interest in the Company, details as disclosed under the Register of Substantial
Shareholders in the Annual Report 2019.

In the annual board assessment conducted, the role of the Chairman was also assessed in terms of his ability to lead
the board effectively, encourage contribution and participation from all members, effectiveness in chairing the general
meeting and able to answer queries satisfactorily.

OVERVIEW STATEMENT (cont’d)

Principle A – Board Leadership and Effectiveness (cont’d)

I. Board Responsibilities (cont’d)

The strong score rating awarded by the Directors in connection with the annual assessment of the Chairman’s role provided
the necessary measure and justification that Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay understands the two separate roles and is able to
distinctly carry out such roles and responsibilities required of him in achieving the intended outcome of ensuring that the
Company is headed by a Board, which assumes responsibility for the Company’s leadership and is collectively responsible
for meeting the objectives and goals of the Company.

The Independent Non-Executive Directors, who form the majority of Board members, provide checks and balances and
play a role to ensure a clear separation between the policy-making process and day-to-day management of the Group’s
businesses.

From time to time, the Board takes measures to evaluate the appropriateness of the dual roles of the Chairman and Chief
Executive being performed by the same individual and ensures that this arrangement continues to be in the interests of the
Company and its shareholders as a whole.

The Company Secretary, who is an Associate member of The Malaysian Institute of Chartered Secretaries and
Administrators, satisfies the qualification as prescribed under Section 235(2) of the Companies Act 2016 and has the
requisite experience and competency in company secretarial services.

Notice of meetings setting out the agenda and accompanied by the relevant Board papers are given to the Directors
with sufficient time for the Directors to review, seek additional information and/or clarification on the matters to be
deliberated at Board meetings.

The minutes of meetings are prepared and circulated to all the Directors for their review and approval.

The Board Charter adopted by the Board clearly sets out the respective roles and responsibilities of the Board and the
management to ensure accountability. The Board Charter is made available on the Company’s website at www.genting.com.

The Company has a Code of Conduct and Ethics which applies to all employees and Directors of the Group and its
unlisted subsidiaries. The Code, together with other related policies, procedures and guidelines which are disseminated
to employees at the Company’s intranet portal, sets out the principles to guide standards of behaviour and business
conduct when employees and Directors deal with third party and these are integrated into company-wide management
practices.

The Directors observe the Company Directors’ Code of Ethics established by the Companies Commission of Malaysia.

Both of the aforesaid Codes can be viewed from the Company’s website at www.genting.com.

The Company recognises that any genuine commitment to detecting and preventing actual or suspected unethical,
unlawful, illegal, wrongful or other improper conduct must include a mechanism whereby employees and other
stakeholders can report their concerns freely without fear of reprisal or intimidation. To this end, the Company has
adopted a Whistleblower Policy which is disseminated to employees and made available on the Company’s website at
www.genting.com.

II. Board Composition

As at 31 December 2019, the Board has seven members, comprising two Executive Directors and five Independent
Non-Executive Directors which fulfils the requirement of the Board to comprise a majority of independent directors.
With the appointment of Mr Tan Kong Han as an Executive Director of the Company on 1 January 2020 and redesignated
as President and Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director on the same day, the Board has eight members,
comprising three Executive Directors and five Independent Non-Executive Directors.

The Board noted that the tenure of an independent director should not exceed a cumulative term of nine years. The Board
is of the view that the ability of long serving independent directors to remain independent and to discharge their duties
with integrity and competency should not be measured solely by tenure of service. Their long service should not affect
their independence as they are independent-minded and they continue to provide the necessary checks and balances in
the best interest of the Company. The Independent Directors have each provided an undertaking to Bursa Securities since
their appointment confirming and declaring that they are “independent directors” as defined under paragraph 1.01 of the
MMLR of Bursa Securities. The Board agreed that ultimately the Independent Directors themselves are the best persons to
determine whether they can continue to bring independent and objective judgement to Board deliberations.

II. Board Composition (cont’d)

In relation to the criteria to assess independence of directors, the Board had adopted the same criteria used in the
definition of “independent directors” prescribed by the MMLR.

Accordingly, Dato’ Dr. R. Thillainathan who has been an Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company since 30
July 2009, will continue to be an Independent Director of the Company, notwithstanding having served as an Independent
Director on the Board for more than nine years. Dato’ Dr. R. Thillainathan is a distinguished and well known figure in his field
of expertise and is conversant with the Group’s businesses. He brings valuable insights and contributions to the Board.

For the financial year ended 31 December 2019, each of the Independent Non-Executive Directors had provided their
annual confirmations of independence to the Board based on the Company’s criteria of assessing independence in line
with the definition of “independent directors” prescribed by the MMLR. The Board had assessed and concluded that the five
Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company, namely Tan Sri Foong Cheng Yuen, Dato’ Dr. R. Thillainathan, Madam
Koid Swee Lian, Datuk Manharlal A/L Ratilal and Mr Eric Ooi Lip Aun continue to demonstrate conduct and behaviour that
are essential indicators of independence, and that each of them is independent of the Company’s management and free
from any business or other relationship which could interfere with the exercise of independent judgement or the ability to
act in the best interest of the Company.

Each Independent Director has undertaken to notify the Board of any changes in their circumstances or of any new
interest or relationship that would affect their independence as an independent director of the Company. The Board will
promptly consider that new information in reassessing the Director’s independence in the interests of the Company and its
shareholders as a whole.

In addition to the annual confirmation mentioned above from the Independent Non-Executive Directors, all the Directors
are required to confirm on an annual basis if they have any family relationship with any other Director and/or major
shareholders of the Company, if there are any conflict of interests with the Company and if they have been convicted of any
offence within the past five years other than traffic offences, and any public sanction or penalty imposed by the relevant
regulatory bodies during the financial year. These information, together with the annual evaluation and assessment of each
Director during the financial year, form the basis and justification for recommending whether the retiring Director should
be nominated for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

The Independent Non-Executive Director serving more than nine years is a person with high caliber and his vast knowledge
and experience contribute positively to the growth of the Group.

If the Board, including the Independent Non-Executive Director serving more than nine years, is able to continuously give
their best efforts by using their expertise and skills to contribute positively towards the stewardship of the Company to
attain greater heights, he should remain as Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company as the intended outcome
is achieved as they are able to make objective decision, in the best interest of the Group, taking into account diverse
perspectives and insights.

The Group practises non-discrimination in any form, whether based on age, gender, ethnicity or religion, throughout the
organisation. This includes the selection of Board members and senior management.

The Board is mindful of the target of at least 30% women directors and has taken the initial step of appointing Madam Koid
Swee Lian as a female Director on the Board on 23 November 2017.

The Board currently comprises 7 male Directors and 1 female Director. The racial composition of the Board is 75% Chinese
and 25% Indian. 25% of the Directors are between the ages of 30 and 55 and the remaining 75% are above 55 years old.

Amongst others, the measure taken by the Board when sourcing suitable candidates for any vacant Board position in
the future, would take into consideration suitably qualified women candidates, in line with the recommendation of the
MCCG.

The Board did not utilise independent sources to identify suitably qualified candidates as the management understands
the specialised industry it operates in. Through its own network and bearing in mind the highly regulated industry in
which the Company operates in, the management would be in the best position to look for potential candidates with
background which fits the criteria requirements.

The Board is open to utilising independent sources to identify suitably qualified candidates, where necessary.

assessment.

III. Remuneration (cont’d)

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for implementing the policies and procedures on the remuneration of
Executive Directors and making recommendations to the Board on the remuneration packages of Executive Directors and
members of the Board Committees whilst the Board is responsible for approving the policies and procedures which govern
the remuneration of the employees including Executive Directors and senior management of the Company.

The Remuneration Committee carries out its duties in accordance with its Terms of Reference which can be obtained from
the Company’s website at www.genting.com.

The details of the Directors’ remuneration received in 2019 on a named basis are set out in Appendix A of this Corporate
Governance Overview Statement.

In relation to the remuneration package paid to Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, the Chairman and Chief Executive of the Company,
it is more appropriate to look at the remuneration of Chairman and Chief Executive at the Company level rather than at
the Group level which aggregated the consolidated remuneration paid by the listed subsidiaries. His remuneration for his
executive positions held in other companies of the Group are determined by the respective Remuneration Committees
and Boards of the companies where he is concurrently employed.

The Chairman and Chief Executive succeeded his late father, the founder of the Group, and was accorded the level of
pay similar to his father’s when he took over the role. Thereafter, the Chairman and Chief Executive was awarded
annual increments/bonuses as an executive staff member.

As the Chief Executive, Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay is responsible for providing the vision and strategic direction of the Group
and to formulate appropriate corporate strategies and develop the business. Further details of his role and
responsibilities are set out in the section on Practice 1.3 of the Corporate Governance Report. Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay had
voluntarily reduced his salary by 20% as announced at the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 20 June 2019.

The top five senior management (excluding executive directors) of the Company (including its directly held unlisted
subsidiary responsible for the Group’s businesses in the power, oil and gas and energy sector) are Mr Tan Kong Han, Ms
Wong Yee Fun, Mr Ong Tiong Soon and Ms Goh Lee Sian, their designations are disclosed in the Annual Report 2019 and Mr
Derrik Khoo Sin Huat, Chief Curation and Millennials Officer (retired on 11 September 2019). The aggregate remuneration
of these executives received in 2019 was RM17 million representing 0.4% of the total employees’ remuneration of the
Group.

The remuneration of the aforesaid top five senior management was a combination of annual salary, bonus, benefits in-kind
and other emoluments which are determined in a similar manner as other management employees of the Company. This
is based on their individual performance, the overall performance of the Company, inflation and benchmarked against
other companies operating in Malaysia. The basis of determination has been applied consistently from previous years.

Principle B – Effective Audit and Risk Management

I. Audit Committee

The Chairman of the Audit Committee is Dato’ Dr. R. Thillainathan, an Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company.

The Terms of Reference of the Audit Committee has included a cooling-off period of at least two years before a former
key audit partner could be appointed as a member of the Audit and Risk Management Committee to safeguard the
independence of the audit of the financial statements.

The Audit Committee ensures that the independence and objectivity of the external auditors are not compromised in
accordance with the assessment criteria set out in the “Group Policy on External Auditors’ Independence”.

The external auditors are also required to provide confirmation to the Audit Committee that they are and have been
independent throughout the conduct of the audit engagement in accordance with the terms of all relevant professional
and regulatory requirements.

The Audit Committee was satisfied with the suitability and independence of the external auditors based on the quality and
competency of services delivered, sufficiency of the firm and professional staff assigned to the annual audit as well as the
non-audit services performed for the financial year ended 31 December 2019 and has recommended their re-appointment
for the financial year ending 31 December 2020.

OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION

Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were prepared, the Directors took reasonable steps:

(i) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of provision for
doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate provision had been
made for doubtful debts; and

(ii) to ensure that any current assets, which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business including the values
of current assets as shown in the accounting records of the Group and of the Company had been written down to an amount
which the current assets might be expected so to realise.

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:

(i) which would render the amounts written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts inadequate to any
substantial extent;

(ii) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
misleading;

(iii) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the
Company misleading or inappropriate; and

(iv) not otherwise dealt with in this report or in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, that would render any
amount stated in the financial statements misleading.

At the date of this report, there does not exist:

(i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year which secures the
liabilities of any other person; or

(ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year.

No contingent or other liability of any company in the Group has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the
period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may affect the ability of the
Group and of the Company to meet their obligations when they fall due.

In the opinion of the Directors:

(i) the results of the operations of the Group and of the Company during the financial year have not been substantially affected
by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature except for those disclosed in the financial statements; and

(ii) 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 the operations of the Group and of the
Company for the financial year in which this report is made.

approximately RM69.7 million), of which GBP10.5 million (equivalent to approximately RM56.3 million) was paid in
cash and GBP2.5 million (equivalent to approximately RM13.4 million) is payable within 12 months. The remaining
payment of GBP2.5 million is contingent on the satisfactory transfer of gaming licences. Acquisition related costs of
GBP0.2 million (equivalent to approximately RM1.3 million) has been recognised as expenses in profit or loss.

provisional fair values upon finalisation of the detailed purchase price allocation exercise will be recognised in intangible
assets and property, plant and equipment within 12 months of the acquisition date as permitted by MFRS 3 “Business
Combinations”. The residual goodwill on acquisition represents the value of assets and earnings that do not form separable
assets under MFRS 3 but nevertheless are expected to contribute to the future results of the Group.

The revenue and net loss of the acquired subsidiaries included in the consolidated income statements of the Group for
the period from the date of acquisition to 31 December 2019 amounted to RM3.2 million and RM0.5 million, respectively.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (cont’d)



(a) Financial risk factors (cont’d)

(i) Foreign currency exchange risk (cont’d)

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s profit after tax and equity to 1% (2018: 2%)
strengthening of each currency respectively in SGD, USD, HKD and RMB against the respective functional currencies
of the entities within the Group, with all other variables held constant.

31 December 2019 Increase/(Decrease)


Group Profit after tax OCI
SGD 0.7 -
USD 5.3 3.1
HKD 0.5 -
RMB 2.6 -

31 December 2018 Increase/(Decrease)


Group Profit after tax OCI
SGD (3.3) -
USD 33.2 3.9
HKD 0.9 -
RMB 3.3 -

A 1% (2018: 2%) weakening of the above currencies against the respective functional currencies of the entities
within the Group would have the equal but opposite effect to the amount shown above, on the basis that all other
variables remain constant.

The Company’s principal foreign currency exposure relates mainly to cash and cash equivalents of RM68.4 million
(2018: RM50.1 million) which is denominated in USD. At the reporting date, if exchange rate of USD had been 1%
(2018: 2%) stronger/weaker, with all other variables remaining constant, the profit after tax of the Company will be
higher/lower by RM0.7 million (2018: RM1.0 million).

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risks arise mainly from the Group’s borrowings and debt securities classified as financial assets at FVTPL.
Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group manages its cash flow
interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect
of converting the borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Under the interest rate swaps, the Group agrees with
financial institutions to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between the fixed contract rates and floating-
rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts. There are no significant cash
flow interest rate risks arising from debt securities classified as financial assets at FVTPL.

The Group’s outstanding borrowings as at the year end at variable rates on which hedges have not been entered into
are denominated mainly in USD and GBP (2018: SGD, USD, GBP and RMB). At the reporting date, if annual interest
rates had been 1% (2018: 1%) higher/lower respectively, with all other variables in particular foreign exchange rates
and including tax rate being held constant, the profit after tax will be lower/higher by RM51.0 million (2018: RM63.5
million) as a result of increase/decrease in interest expense on these borrowings.

(iii) Credit risk

Risk management

The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises mainly from sales made on deferred credit terms, cash and cash equivalents,
deposits with financial institutions, money market instruments, income fund and debt instruments carried at amortised
cost. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises from amounts due from subsidiaries, cash and cash equivalents and
deposits with banks and financial institutions. Risks arising therefrom are minimised through:

- Effective monitoring of receivables and suspension of sales to customers whose accounts exceed the stipulated
credit terms.
- Setting credit limits and reviewing credit history to minimise potential losses.

(a) Financial risk factors (cont’d)

(iii) Credit risk (cont’d)



Impairment (cont’d)

Regardless of the analysis above, a significant increase in credit risk is presumed when a debt is past due
unless there are specific reasons for delays in making payment within the credit period by certain debtors, which
will be determined based on the past experience and credit risk profiles of these debtors.

The Group considers a trade receivable or other receivable as credit impaired when one or more events that have
a detrimental impact on the estimated cash flow have occurred. These instances include adverse changes in the
financial capability of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.

Trade and other receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, with a case-by-
case assessment performed based on indicators such as insolvency or demise. Where receivables are written off, the
Group continues to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognised in the income
statements.

The Group uses three categories for assessing receivables according to their credit risk and determine the loss
provision accordingly.

i) Trade receivables and contract assets using simplified approach



The Group applies the simplified approach under MFRS 9 to measure ECL, which uses a lifetime ECL allowance for
all trade receivables and contract assets. To measure the expected losses, trade receivables and contract assets
have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and days past due.

The expected loss rates are based on historical payment profiles of sales and the corresponding historical
credit losses experienced during these periods. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current
and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors (such as palm products prices and crude
oil price) affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The historical loss rates will be
adjusted based on the expected changes in these factors. No significant changes to estimation techniques
or assumptions were made during the reporting period.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk and loss allowance recognised as at 31 December 2019 and
31 December 2018 is disclosed in Note 32. The remaining amount in which no ECL allowance was recognised
is deemed to be recoverable, with low probability of default.

ii) Debt instruments at amortised costs other than trade receivables and contract assets using general 3-stage
approach

All of the Group’s and the Company’s debt instruments at amortised costs (other than trade receivables,
contract assets and the Group’s investment in the Notes issued by the Tribe) are considered to have low credit
risk, as these were considered to be performing, have low risks of defaults and historically there were minimal
instances where contractual cash flow obligations have not been met.

The Group is exposed to credit risk in relation to investment in the Notes issued by the Tribe. General 3 stage
approach was applied in assessing ECL for Notes. In view of the uncertainty of recovery of the Notes following
the decision by US Federal Government in September 2018 concluding that the Tribe did not satisfy the
conditions under the Indian Reorganisation Act that allow the Tribe to have the land in trust for an integrated
gaming resort development, loss allowance was recognised in the previous financial year using the lifetime
expected loss assessment. Refer to Note 28 for further details.

ii) Debt instruments at amortised costs other than trade receivables and contract assets using general 3-stage
approach (cont’d)

The Group uses four categories to reflect their credit risk and how the loss allowance is determined for each of
those categories. A summary of the assumptions which underpin the Group’s ECL model is as follows:

Category Definition of category Basis for recognition of ECL provision


Performing Customers have a low risk of default and 12 months expected losses. Where the
a strong capacity to meet contractual expected lifetime on an asset is less
cash flows. than 12 months, expected losses are
measured at its expected lifetime.
Underperforming Debtors for which there is a significant Lifetime expected losses.

expected significant adverse changes

significant change to the debtor’s ability

are credit-impaired.
Write-off There is evidence indicating that there Asset is written-off.
is no reasonable expectation of recovery
based on unavailability of debtor’s
sources of income or assets to generate
sufficient future cash flows to repay the
amount.

Based on the above, loss allowance is measured on either 12 month ECL or lifetime ECL, by considering
the likelihood that the debtor would not be able to repay during the contractual period, the percentage of
contractual cash flows that will not be collected if default happens and the outstanding amount that is exposed
to default risk.

For intercompany balances that are repayable on demand, the Company’s ECL is based on the following
assumptions:

- If the borrower has sufficient accessible highly liquid assets in order to repay the loan if demanded at the
reporting date, the ECL is likely to be immaterial.

- If the borrower could not repay the loan if demanded at the reporting date, the Company considers the
expected manner of recovery to measure the ECL. The recovery manner could be either through ‘repayment
over time’ or a fire sale of less liquid assets by the borrower.

- If the recovery strategies indicate that the Company would fully recover the outstanding balance of the
loan, the ECL would be limited to the effect of the discounting of the amount due on the loan, at the loan’s
effective interest rates, over the period until the amount is fully recovered.

The maximum exposure to credit risks for debt instruments at amortised cost other than trade receivables
and contract assets are represented by the carrying amounts recognised in the statements of financial position.

Impairment (cont’d)

iii) Financial guarantee contracts

All the financial guarantee contracts are considered to be performing, have low risks of default and historically
there were no instances where these financial guarantee contracts were called upon by the parties to which the
financial guarantee contracts were issued. Accordingly, no loss allowance was identified based on 12 months ECL.

As the Group and the Company do not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk for each class of
financial instruments is the carrying amount of that class of financial instruments presented on the statements
of financial position, except as follows:

Group
2019 2018
Corporate guarantee provided by certain subsidiaries in Indonesia
to banks on plasma farmers’ loan facilities 139.9 127.3
Company
2019 2018
Corporate guarantee provided to banks on subsidiaries’ facilities 3,007.8 3,816.3

The Company is exposed to credit risk arising from financial guarantee contracts given to banks for
subsidiaries’ borrowings where the maximum credit risk exposure is the amount of borrowings utilised by the
subsidiaries and the interest charged on the borrowings.

Information in respect of the provision for impairment losses for trade and other receivables is disclosed in Note
32. Deposits with banks and other financial institutions, investment securities and derivatives that are neither past
due nor impaired are placed with or entered into with reputable financial institutions or companies with high
credit ratings and no history of default.

(iv) Price risk

The Group and the Company are exposed to price risk from its quoted investments in financial assets at FVTPL
and FVOCI, derivative financial instruments and fluctuations in palm product prices respectively. To manage its price
risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio which is done in accordance
with the limits set by the Group.

If the prices of the financial assets at FVTPL and FVOCI and derivative financial instruments listed in the respective
countries change by 1% (2018: 1%) with all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the Group’s
profit after tax and OCI for the current and previous financial year will be as follows:

31 December 2019 Increase/Decrease


Group Profit after tax OCI
Listed financial assets at FVTPL and FVOCI
– increase/decrease 1% 0.1 5.8

Profit after tax would increase/decrease as a result of gains/losses on financial assets at FVTPL and derivative financial
instruments. Other components of equity would increase/decrease as a result of gains/losses on equity securities
classified as financial assets at FVOCI.

If the prices of the palm products increase by 5% (2018: 5%) respectively with all other variables including tax rate
being held constant, the impact to the Group’s profit after tax and equity will be as follows:

31 December 2019 Increase/(Decrease)


Group Profit after tax Equity
Effect of change in palm products prices
– increase by 5% 40.7 40.7

31 December 2018 Increase/(Decrease)


Group Profit after tax Equity
Effect of change in palm products prices
– increase by 5% 38.7 38.7

A 5% decrease in the prices of palm products would have the equal but opposite effect to the amount shown above, on
the basis that all other variable remain constant.

(v) Liquidity risk

The Group practises prudent liquidity risk management to minimise the mismatch of financial assets and liabilities. The
Group’s cash flow is reviewed regularly to ensure that the Group is able to settle its commitments when they fall due.

The Group manages its liquidity risk with the view to maintaining a healthy level of cash and cash equivalents appropriate
to the operating environment and expected cash flows of the Group. Liquidity requirements are maintained within its
undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times and are sufficient and available to the Group to meet its obligations.

Generally, surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above the balance required for working capital
management are managed by the Group Treasury. The Group Treasury invests surplus cash in interest bearing accounts,
money market deposits and marketable securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient
liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the above-mentioned cash flows of the Group.

The table below analyses the financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the
reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted
cash flows.

(b) Capital management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to
maintain an optimal capital structure so as to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

In order to optimise the capital structure, or the capital allocation amongst the Group’s various businesses, the Group
may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares and warrants,
buy back issued shares, take on new debt or sell assets to reduce debt.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital utilisation on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio
is calculated as total debt divided by total capital. Total debt is calculated as the sum of total borrowings (comprising
“short term and long term borrowings”) and lease liabilities as shown in the statements of financial position. Total
capital is calculated as the sum of total equity and total debt.

The gearing ratio as at the reporting date are as follows:


Group
2019 2018
Total debt 33,059.4 29,224.5
Total equity 59,274.0 57,388.2
Total capital 92,333.4 86,612.7

Gearing ratio 36% 34%

(b) Capital management (cont’d)

The gearing ratio increased from 34% to 36% following the adoption of MFRS 16 “Leases” as total debt increased following
the recognition of lease liabilities on 1 January 2019. See Note 44 for further information.

The Group was in compliance with externally imposed capital requirements as at the reporting date.

(c) Fair value measurement



The assets and liabilities carried at fair value are categorised into different levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

• Level 1 : Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 : Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
• Level 3 : Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

The following table presents the Group’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value.

Group Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

The carrying values of current financial assets and current financial liabilities of the Group and the Company at the end of
the reporting period approximated their fair values.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date.
A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker,
industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market
transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current
bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (cont’d)



(c) Fair value measurement (cont’d)

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives)
is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data
where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value
an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

• Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.


• The fair value of interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and commodity swaps contracts are calculated as the
present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.
• The fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the
reporting date.
• The fair value of the commodity future contracts is determined using forward prices of palm oil commodities.
• Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial
instruments.

There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the current financial year (2018: Nil).

The following table presents the changes in Level 3 financial instruments:

Group
2019 2018
As at 1 January 552.8 1,273.6
Foreign exchange differences (3.7) 20.8
Additions 491.6 305.2
Acquisition of subsidiaries 52.2 -
Disposals - (4.5)
Fair value changes – recognised in OCI - (557.6)
Fair value changes – recognised in income statements 1.6 (199.1)
Dividends income and interest income 6.0 8.2
Dividends income received (24.0) -
Redemption of unquoted preference shares (25.0) -
Reclassification from receivables and associates 261.0 -
Reclassification to investment in joint ventures and non-current assets - (293.8)
As at 31 December 1,312.5 552.8

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3. The
assessment of the fair value of unquoted securities is performed based on the available data such as discounted cash flow
with key inputs such as growth rates and discount rates, or recent transacted prices of similar financial instruments as
indications of their fair values as at reporting date.

Although the Group believes that its estimates of fair values are appropriate, the use of different methodologies
or assumptions could lead to different measurement of fair value. For fair value measurement in Level 3, there are no
reasonably possible changes in any of the growth rate or discount rate that would materially impact the profit or loss, total
assets and total equity of the Group.

5. SEGMENT ANALYSIS

Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the chief operating decision-
makers that are used to make strategic decisions.

The chief operating decision-makers consider the business from both a geographic and industry perspective and has the
following reportable segments:

Leisure & Hospitality - This segment includes gaming, hotels, food and beverages, theme parks, retail,
entertainment and attractions, tours and travel related services, development and
operation of integrated resorts and other support services.
Plantation - This segment is involved mainly in oil palm plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia, palm
oil milling and related activities.
Power - This segment is involved in generation and supply of electric power.
Property - This segment is involved in property development activities and property investment.
Oil & Gas - This segment is involved in oil & gas exploration, development and production activities.

All other immaterial segments including investments in equities are aggregated and disclosed under “Investments &
Others” as they are not of a sufficient size to be reported separately.

The performance of the operating segments is based on a measure of adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation
and amortisation (“EBITDA”). This measurement basis also excludes the effects of non-recurring items from the operating
segments, such as net fair value gain or loss on financial assets, gain or loss on disposal of financial assets, gain or loss
on changes of shareholding in joint ventures and associates, project costs written off, reversal of previously recognised
impairment losses, impairment losses, pre-opening and development expenses, assets written off, gain or loss on disposal
of assets and share-based payment expenses.

Segment assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, investment properties, intangible assets, rights of
use of oil and gas assets, ROU of lease assets, inventories, trade and other receivables, financial assets at FVOCI, financial
assets at FVTPL and cash and cash equivalents. Segment assets exclude interest bearing instruments, joint ventures,
associates, deferred tax assets, tax recoverable and assets classified as held for sale as these assets are managed on a
group basis.

Segment liabilities comprise operating liabilities. Segment liabilities exclude interest-bearing instruments, tax payable,
deferred tax liabilities and liabilities classified as held for sale as these liabilities are managed on a group basis.

Notes:

(a) During the current financial year, the Group has capitalised borrowing costs amounting to RM493.8 million (2018: RM265.3
million) on qualifying assets. The capitalisation rates used to determine the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalised
are based on the weighted average interest rate applicable to the Group’s general borrowings during the current
financial year and range from 4.39% to 4.51% per annum (2018: 4.52% to 4.72% per annum).

(b) The Group has carried out impairment assessments on property, plant and equipment with an indication of impairment.
Details are as follows:

Bimini operations (“Bimini Assets”)

The Group has carried out an impairment assessment on the property, plant and equipment with carrying amount of
RM1,518.6 million (2018: RM1,403.1 million) and casino licences as disclosed in Note 20 in view of the continued losses
recorded since the commencement of the Bimini operations. The recoverable amounts of property, plant and equipment
and casino licences are determined based on the VIU method. Cash flow projections used in this calculation were based
on financial budgets approved by management covering eight-year period (2018: nine-year period). Cash flows beyond
the eight-year period (2018: nine-year period) were extrapolated using the estimated growth rate.

16. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (cont’d)

Bimini operations (“Bimini Assets”) (cont’d)

The cash flows for Bimini Assets have been assessed for a period of 8 years, from 2020 to 2027 (2018: 9 years from 2019
to 2027). Although MFRS 136 “Impairment of Assets” stipulates that forecasts should not exceed 5 years, the material
impact of the developments around the resort that will have on profitability between year 5 to year 8 should be taken into
consideration.

Key assumptions used in the VIU calculations are as follows:

Group
2019 2018
Growth rate 2.3% 2.3%
Short term discount rate 9.3% 9.6%
Long term discount rate 7.7% 7.4%
Hotel occupancy rate 58% - 83% 53% - 83%

Based on the impairment assessment, no impairment loss has been recognised for Bimini Assets (2018: Nil).

If the growth rate is reduced to 1.74% (2018: 1.65%) and all other variables including tax rate are being held constant, the
VIU will approximate carrying amount for Bimini Assets (2018: give rise to an impairment loss of RM28.1 million). If the
short term discount rate is increased to 10.55% (2018: 10.80%) and all other variables including tax rate are being held
constant, the VIU will approximate carrying amount for Bimini Assets (2018: give rise to an impairment loss of RM16.8
million). If the long term discount rate is increased to 8.20% (2018: 7.95%) and all other variables including tax rate
are being held constant, the VIU will approximate carrying amount for Bimini Assets (2018: give rise to an impairment
loss of RM10.2 million).

Resorts World Birmingham operations (“RWB Assets”)

Resorts World Birmingham (“RWB”) has opened for just over 4 years, and is still at an infant stage of its lifecycle. Whilst
RWB has recorded losses during the current financial year, its profitability has improved significantly year on year. The
recoverable amount of RWB is determined based on the higher of FVLCTS and VIU. The VIU has been calculated using
the cash flow projections which are based on the approved future strategy of the resort. Estimates of fair value have been
determined with reference to an external valuation performed in 2018, and prepared in accordance with RICS valuation
professional standards, as published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, on the basis of market value and is
within Level 3 of fair value hierarchy.

The cash flows for each division of RWB have been assessed for a period of 9 years, from 2020 to 2028 (2018: 10 years
from 2019 to 2028). Although MFRS 136 “Impairment of Assets” stipulates that forecasts should not exceed 5 years, the
material impact of the developments around the resort that will have on profitability between year 5 to year 9 should be
taken into consideration.

Key assumptions used in the VIU calculations are as follows:

Group
2019 2018
Discount rate 7.0% 7.2%
Long term growth rate 2.0% 2.0%
Forecasted EBITDA:
- Footfall growth rate 2.0% - 7.0% 2.0% - 7.0%
- Revenue per available room growth rate 1.0% - 2.0% 1.0% - 2.0%

Based on the impairment assessment, no impairment loss has been recognised for RWB Assets (2018: Nil).

If the discount rate is increased by 0.25% (2018: 0.20%) and all other variables including tax rate are being held constant,
this could indicate an impairment loss of RM11.8 million (2018: RM37.1 million) on RWB Assets. If the long term growth
rate decreased by 0.25% (2018: 0.25%) and all other variables including tax rate are being held constant, the VIU will
approximate carrying amount for RWB Assets (2018: give rise to an impairment loss of RM31.8 million). If the forecasted
EBITDA decreased by 5.0% and all other variables including tax rate are being held constant, this could indicate an
impairment loss of RM26.2 million (2018: impairment loss of RM59.4 million). The forecasted EBITDA is sensitive to
visitors’ footfall and hotel performance of RWB operations.

Outdoor theme park assets at Resorts World Genting (“Theme Park Assets”)

Following the settlement agreement with Fox Entertainment Group, LLC, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, FoxNext,
LLC (collectively referred to as “Fox”), Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. and The Walt Disney Company, there is no impairment
indicator of the PPE related to the Theme Park Assets as the outdoor theme park is expected to open ahead of the earlier
projected opening date in Year 2022 by using certain Fox intellectual properties.

(c) Certain freehold land and buildings and improvements of the casino business in the UK amounting to RM679.2 million
(2018: RM669.2 million) have been pledged as collateral for the Group’s GBP borrowings.

(d) Property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of approximately RM456.7 million (2018: RM378.8 million)
have been pledged as collateral for the borrowings in the Group’s power business, plantation business and resort
development.

(e) As at 31 December 2018, bank borrowings of Genting Singapore Group were substantially secured over assets of
the Singapore leisure and hospitality business segment. Genting Singapore made a voluntary full prepayment of
the outstanding bank borrowings and cancelled the credit facilities on 25 April 2019. Restricted cash which had been
pledged as security for loan repayments and interest was fully released during the current financial year.

(f) During the current financial year, the Group recognised impairment loss on property, plant and equipment amounting to
RM39.5 million (2018: RM112.8 million), on the basis that the carrying amount exceeded its recoverable amount, given
the challenging market condition in the current financial year. These are mainly assets in the Leisure and Hospitality
segment. RM33.7 million of the impairment loss arose from aircrafts of which the recoverable amounts of these
aircrafts were determined based on the FVLCTS method and is within Level 2 of fair value hierarchy. Estimates of fair
value on these aircrafts were determined using recent transaction prices by an independent third party. The recoverable
amounts of other property, plant and equipment were determined using the VIU method.

Certain investment properties within the UK business segment amounting to RM119.0 million (2018: RM179.2 million) have been
pledged as collateral for the Group’s GBP borrowings.

Fair values of the Group’s investment properties at the end of the financial year have been determined by independent
professional valuers based on the market comparison approach that reflect the recent transaction prices for similar
properties in size and type within the vicinity and are within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, except for the Group’s
investment properties in Miami, Florida, US which have been determined by independent professional valuers based on the
income approach of the respective properties and are within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The recoverable amounts of
the Group’s properties at Omni Center in the City of Miami, Florida, US were assessed together with the related goodwill
arising from the acquisition of Omni Center. The calculations require the use of estimates as set out in Note 20.

The aggregate lease income and direct operating expenses arising from investment properties of the Group that generated
lease income which was recognised during the financial year amounted to RM89.6 million and RM39.8 million (2018: RM85.7

(a) Impairment tests for goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives

Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are allocated to the Group’s CGU identified according to
geographical area and business segments.

A segment-level summary of the Group’s net book value of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives
allocation is as follows:

2019 2018
Group
Goodwill – leisure and hospitality segment:
Malaysia 277.1 277.1
United Kingdom 81.0 26.7
United States of America 43.1 44.0
Singapore 381.6 380.8

Goodwill – others:
United Kingdom – investment and others segment 40.9 40.9
Malaysia – investment and others segment 2.7 -
Indonesia – plantation and oil and gas segment 145.4 146.9
Intangible assets other than goodwill:
United Kingdom – leisure and hospitality segment
- casino licences 2,088.2 2,129.1
- trademarks 72.3 71.6
Isle of Man – leisure and hospitality segment
- trademarks 3.2 3.2
Singapore – investment and others segment
- trademarks 3.4 -

Goodwill – Malaysia

The impairment test for goodwill relating to the Malaysia CGU was assessed using the VIU method. Cash flow
projections used in this calculation were based on financial budgets approved by management covering a three-year
period. Cash flows beyond the three-year period were extrapolated using the estimated growth rate stated below.
The growth rate did not exceed the long term average growth rate for the leisure & hospitality industry in which the
CGU operates.

Key assumptions used in the VIU calculation for 2019 include a growth rate and discount rate of 3.0% and 7.2%
(2018: 3.5% and 8.8%) respectively.

Based on the impairment assessment, no impairment is required for goodwill attributed to the Malaysia CGU (2018: Nil).

There was no reasonably possible changes in any of the key assumptions used that would cause the carrying amount of
this CGU to materially exceed the recoverable amount.

In the previous year, if the growth rate is reduced by 0.35% and all other variables including tax rate are being held
constant, the impairment loss of intangible assets will increase by RM50.3 million. Similarly, if the discount rate is
0.30% higher and all other variables including tax rate are being held constant, the impairment loss of intangible assets
and property, plant and equipment will increase by RM31.6 million.

21. RIGHTS OF USE OF OIL AND GAS ASSETS (cont’d)

Exploration and development costs comprise of drilling and field operation support costs for Kasuri block in Indonesia. These
costs remain capitalised as the Group is committed to continue exploring these interests.

In April 2018, Genting Oil Kasuri Pte Ltd (“GOKPL”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, has received approval from the
Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia for a first phase Plan of Development for the Asap,
Merah and Kido fields. These fields are within the concession area for the Kasuri Block in West Papua, Indonesia, awarded to
GOKPL pursuant to a production sharing contract signed in May 2008 (the “Kasuri PSC”) between GOKPL and BP MIGAS, the
Indonesian oil and gas regulator (which had since been succeeded by SKK MIGAS). The concession period for GOKPL for the
Kasuri PSC ends in 2038.

Rights of use of oil and gas assets for Kasuri block of RM2,912.2 million (2018: RM2,962.1 million) has been allocated into two
CGU - Asap, Merah and Kido fields (“AMK CGU”), mainly grouped under development costs and other fields (“Others CGU”),
mainly grouped under exploration costs. The recoverable amount of AMK CGU was assessed based on the VIU method. VIU
has been calculated using discounted cash flow projections over the concession period based on the proposed structures as
outlined in the approved Plan of Development. Key assumptions used for the cash flow projections include a projected gas
price, escalated at 2.0% (2018: 2.0%) per annum, a discount rate of 8.0% (2018: 9.5%) and gas production profile based
on independent oil and gas reserve experts. Based on the impairment assessment, no impairment is required for AMK CGU.

The calculation of VIU from the discounted cash flow projections is sensitive to the assumptions set out above. If the gas price is
reduced by 25.5% (2018: 9.6%) or the discount rate is increased to 11.4% (2018: 10.6%) with all other variables remain constant,
the VIU will approximate the carrying amount for AMK CGU.

Others CGU together with the goodwill which arose from the acquisition of a 95% equity interest in PTVM were assessed
collectively in accordance with MFRS 6 “Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources”. Based on the assessment, there
is no impairment indicator as at 31 December 2019 as the Group continues to carry out its exploration and evaluation works in
this CGU.

Rights of use of oil and gas assets with a carrying amount of approximately RM468.7 million (2018: RM582.1 million) have been
pledged as collateral as at 31 December 2019 for the USD borrowing in the Group’s oil and gas business.

24. JOINT VENTURES (cont’d)

On 23 April 2019, Fujian Pacific Electric Company Limited (“MZW I”), a 49.0% joint venture of the Group has been deregistered
and ceased to be in existence following the merger of MZW I into SDIC Genting Meizhou Wan Electric Power Company
Limited (“MZW II”), another 49.0% joint venture of the Group whereby MZW II continues to be in existence as the surviving
entity. All the assets and liabilities of MZW I have been absorbed and taken over by MZW II on the same date.

On 1 August 2019, the Group entered into an amendment to Shareholders Agreement with a shareholder of RWI such
that the Group is able to appoint an additional director and therefore control the composition of the board of RWI.
Consequently, RWI was reclassified from joint venture to an indirect subsidiary of the Company on 1 August 2019 and a gain
on derecognition of joint venture of RM27.6 million was recognised in the income statements. RWI’s results have since been
consolidated from the date on which control was transferred to the Group.

During the current financial year, the Group has recognised an impairment loss of RM284.8 million of its investment in a life
sciences company due to the adverse performance of its business activities, on the basis that the carrying values exceed their
recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount was determined using FVLCTS method within level 3 of fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarises, in aggregate, the financial information of all individually immaterial joint ventures that are
accounted for using the equity method:

25. ASSOCIATES (cont’d)

During the current financial year, a life sciences associated company was derecognised as an associate and recognised as
financial asset at FVOCI upon the completion of a merger exercise, which reduced the Group’s shareholding in the investment
of the said life sciences associated company from 33.4% to 6.0% of the merged entity. A gain on the derecognition
amounting to RM9.2 million was recognised in the income statements.

During the current financial year, Genting Malaysia Group acquired 49% equity interest in Genting Empire Resorts LLC
(“GERL”), the holding company of Empire Resorts Inc. (“ERI”) for RM661.1 million. The acquisition was completed on
15 November 2019 (United States Eastern date/time) and GERL became an associate of Genting Malaysia Group.

As mentioned in ERI’s Form 10-Q for the six months ended 30 June 2019, ERI has been incurring losses from operations
since its opening in February 2018.

As of 31 December 2019, GERL and ERI are in the final stages of securing refinancing for ERI and the shareholders of
GERL have committed to provide financial support to ERI. Based on Genting Malaysia Group’s assessment, ERI is expected to
have positive cash flows in the next 12 months from the refinancing as well as operating cash inflows from capitalising on
synergies with Genting Malaysia Group (including cross marketing and operational efficiencies).

Therefore, Genting Malaysia Group is of the view that ERI will be able to continue as a going concern and the investment in
the associate is recoverable.

The following table summarises, in aggregate, the financial information of all individually immaterial associates that are
accounted for using the equity method:

26. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (cont’d)

The fair values of quoted equity investments are determined by reference to the bid price on the relevant stock exchanges.

Unquoted equity investment in foreign corporations mainly relates to investment in life sciences companies. The fair value of
the unquoted equity investment is derived based on the projected sales and multiple of the comparable industry of the investee.

The fair values of certain unquoted equity investments are determined based on the valuation techniques supported by
observable market data or internal cash flows or past transaction prices of similar shares issued by the foreign corporations and
applying an appropriate risk-free interest rate, adjusted for non-performing risk and key assumptions to industry experience.

(ii) The fair values of the unquoted debt securities are determined based on the price traded over the counter.

(iii) The investment in unquoted preference shares was reclassified from other non-current assets during the current financial
year (Note 28). The unquoted preference shares carry a cumulative, non-compounding fixed dividend of 4% per annum and
are subordinated to loan facilities undertaken by the issuer. The preference shares are redeemable in two equal tranches
on the 8th and 9th anniversary of the issue date which can be extended by the issuer. However, the issuer may elect the
following options prior to the 8th anniversary of the issue date:

(a) to extend the tenure of the preference shares by 1, 2 or 3 years from their original tenure stated above, where the
preferential dividend rate applicable during the said extended tenure shall be at the rate of 1% above the fixed
preferential dividend rate; or

(b) subject to the issuer being solvent at the time of the redemption of the preference shares, the issuer may at any time
after the date of issuance of the preference shares and before the maturity date redeem any or all of the preference
shares at the subscription price.

During the current financial year, the issuer redeemed 250 units (2018: Nil) of the preference shares at RM100,000 per
share, totalling RM25.0 million (2018: Nil) which was fully settled by way of cash. The issuer has also extended the tenure
of the outstanding preference shares by 3 years, from the expiry of the original tenure of 3 August 2020.

(iv) The income funds are redeemable at the holder’s discretion and the fair values of income funds in Malaysia and money
market instruments are based on the fair values of the underlying net assets.

The Genting Malaysia Group subscribed to the Notes issued by the Tribe to finance the pre-development expenses of a
destination resort casino in Taunton, Massachusetts, US. The Notes carry fixed interest rates of 12% and 18% per annum
(2018: 12% and 18% per annum). These Notes are classified as other non-current assets as the Genting Malaysia Group had
expected the Notes to be recovered beyond 12 months from the end of the reporting date.

The recoverability of the Notes is dependent on the outcome of the pending legal case and/or review by the relevant
government authority as well as any other options which allow the Tribe to have land in trust for a destination resort casino
development. This has affected the ability of the Tribe to proceed with the development, which cash flows are expected to
facilitate the repayment of the Notes when the casino commences operations. The development of the project is currently
stalled pending further court developments and/or actions by relevant governmental authorities.

In September 2018, the US Federal Government issued a decision concluding that the Tribe did not satisfy the conditions
under the Indian Reorganisation Act that allow the Tribe to have the land in trust for an integrated gaming resort
development. The Group is currently deliberating the appropriate course of action by working closely with the Tribe to
review all options available for the Group’s investment in the Notes as well as its recoverability. This includes a legislation
being introduced in the US Congress which, if passed, will entail the US Federal Government to reaffirm the land in trust
for the benefit of the Tribe.

In view of the uncertainty of recovery of the Notes following the decision by the US Federal Government above, the
Group has recorded an impairment loss of RM13.3 million (2018: RM1,834.3 million) in relation to the Group’s total
investment (including accrued interest) in the current financial year. This impairment loss can be reversed when the Notes
are assessed to be recoverable.

The amounts of unutilised tax losses and deductible temporary differences for which no deferred tax asset is recognised in the
statements of financial position are as follows:

Unutilised tax losses
- Expiring more than one year and not more than five years 192.7 156.0 - -

Property, plant and equipment (no expiry date) 253.9 227.6 - -
Provision (no expiry date) 12.5 12.5 - -
1,126.4 985.6 - -

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised on the unutilised tax losses as the realisation of the tax benefits accruing to
these tax losses is uncertain.

(a) Under the Malaysia Finance Act 2018 which was gazetted on 27 December 2018, the Group’s unutilised tax losses are
imposed with a time limit of utilisation. Any accumulated unutilised tax losses brought forward from year of assessment
2018 can be carried forward for another 7 consecutive years of assessment (i.e. from year of assessments 2019 to 2025).
Unutilised tax losses from year of assessment 2019 onwards can be carried forward for a maximum period of 7 consecutive
years.

(b) Included in the amount of unutilised tax losses with no expiry period are unutilised tax losses of certain subsidiaries of the
Group amounting to RM430.3 million (2018: RM353.9 million). These subsidiaries are accredited with tax exemption for
10 years and the tax losses arising therefrom are not subject to the expiry limit.

As at 31 December 2019, the deferred tax assets of the Group mainly relate to tax losses of certain subsidiaries in Indonesia and
in US. The tax losses in Indonesia have an expiry of not more than 5 years while the tax losses in the US will expire in Year 2037
(2018: Year 2037). The Group has concluded that it is probable that the tax losses can be utilised against future taxable profits
of the Indonesian and US subsidiaries.

With regards to MFRS 112 “Income Taxes”, the Group will continue to recognise in profit or loss the tax credits arising from the
Group’s unutilised Investment Tax Allowance of RM918.8 million (2018: RM1,023.0 million) and unutilised customised incentive
granted under the East Coast Economic Region of RM394.1 million (2018: RM936.3 million) as and when they are utilised.

In evaluating whether it is probable that future taxable profits will be available in future period, all available evidences were
considered, including the approved budgets and analysis of historical operating results. These forecasts are consistent with
those prepared and used internally for business planning and measurement of the Group’s performance.

* Included in other receivables and other non-current assets of the Group are advances for plasma schemes of RM206.5
million (2018: RM169.8 million) which are recoverable by the Group’s subsidiaries in Indonesia. In accordance with the policy
of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia (“Government”), nucleus companies involved in plantation developments
are required to provide support to develop and cultivate palm oil lands for local communities as part of their social
obligation which is known as “Plasma” schemes.

In line with this requirement, the Group’s subsidiaries in Indonesia participate in several plasma cooperative programs for
the development and cultivation of oil palm lands for the local communities. The Group’s subsidiaries manage the plasma
plantation activities and purchase the plantation produce arising therefrom at prices determined by the Government.
Advances made by the Groups’ subsidiaries to the plasma schemes in the form of plantation development costs are
recoverable either through bank loans obtained by the plasma cooperatives or direct repayments from the cooperatives
when these plasma areas come to maturity. Impairment losses are made when the estimated recoverable amounts are
less than the outstanding advances. The non-current amounts due from plasma farmers of RM34.7 million (2018: RM26.5
million) are disclosed as Other Receivables in Note 28 to the financial statements.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s and the Company’s trade and other receivables approximate their fair values.

The Group’s trade and other receivables that are individually determined to be impaired at the reporting date relate to
customers that are in significant financial difficulties and have defaulted on payments. The amount of the provision was
RM992.5 million (2018: RM772.3 million) as at 31 December 2019. These receivables are not secured by any collateral.

into fixed rates.

and continuously released to the statements of comprehensive income until the repayment of the bank borrowings or
maturity of the IRS whichever is earlier. For the IRS contracts that are not designated as hedges, the changes in fair value

The Group has entered into commodity swaps contract to hedge against the Group’s exposure to volatility of crude oil
prices.

The changes in the fair value of this contract designated as a hedge are included as cash flow hedge reserve in equity
and continuously released to the income statements until the settlement or maturity of contract whichever is earlier.

Following the issuance of Senior Notes by LLPL Capital Pte Ltd, a 57.9% owned indirect subsidiary of the Company on
7 February 2019 (see Note 38), the derivative financial instruments in relation to IRS and Cross Currency Swap
amounting to RM146.1 million were derecognised with one-off costs arising from termination of the swaps and
unamortised loan transaction costs of RM104.4 million charged to the profit or loss during the financial year.

As at 31 December 2019, there was no derivative financial instruments (2018: RM46.7 million) pledged as security for the term
loan of the Group’s oil and gas businesses.

The fair values of the above instruments have been estimated using the published market prices or quotes from
reputable financial institutions or valuation techniques supported by observable market data. The Group has no
significant concentrations of credit risk as at 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018.

Company

(f) The Company’s derivative financial instrument relates to the warrants in Genting Plantations which were exercisable
at any time on or after 20 December 2013 up to the date of expiry on 17 June 2019. The warrants are traded in
active market with fair value changes recognised in the income statements. The Company has fully exercised its
81.4 million warrants at an exercise price of RM7.75 each for cash on 17 June 2019.

Notes:

(a) Service concession receivable relates to the construction of the Group’s power plant in Indonesia. The amount will be
recovered throughout the concession period, commencing from the commercial operation date of the power plant on 28
March 2017.

The Group signed a Power Purchase Agreement with PLN on 10 July 2012. The Group’s responsibilities under the Power
Purchase Agreement comprise the design, engineering, financing, construction, testing, commissioning, ownership,
operation, management and maintenance of Banten Power Plant.

In assessing the Power Purchase Agreement, the Group has determined that it is within the scope of IC Interpretation 12
“Service Concession Arrangements” based on the following elements:

- PLN controls significant residual interest in the Banten Power Plant at the end of the Power Purchase Agreement as
the Group is required to transfer the Banten Power Plant to PLN 25 years after the commercial operation date; and

- PLN regulates the services provided, to whom the services must be provided and the price to be charged.

The Group has also determined that the concession arrangement should be accounted for under the financial assets
model as the Group’s power plant in Indonesia has a contractual right to receive a specified or determinable amount of
cash from PLN for the construction services.

43. CONTRACT ASSETS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES (cont’d)

(b) Movement of contract assets and contract liabilities in relation to property development is analysed as follows (cont’d):

The contract liabilities at the beginning of the respective financial years, if any, have been recognised as revenue during
the respective financial years.

The amount of unfulfilled performance obligation of RM36.0 million (2018: RM29.5 million) as at the reporting date will
be recognised in the financial statements within next three years.

(c) Customer deposits represent advance payment by customers for future booking of hotel room, food and beverages,
transportation and other services provided by the Group.

The Group applies the practical expedient in MFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for not disclosing the
aggregate amount of the revenue expected to be recognised in the future as the performance obligation is part of a
contract that has an original expected duration of less than one year.

The aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations in respect
of timeshare membership amounted to RM13.9 million (2018: RM17.2 million). The Group expects to recognise these
amounts as revenue over the next 14 years (2018: 15 years).

(d) Advance membership fees relates to fees received on sale of timeshare units offering a timeshare ownership
scheme. These fees are recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the tenure of the membership offered of
twenty five years.

(e) This mainly relates to the advance payment of passenger handling fee by a third party of RM30.2 million for future
vessel calls at the port of Resorts World Bimini.

44. EFFECTS OF ADOPTION OF MFRS 16

MFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases by the lessee as either finance leases or operating leases. MFRS 16 introduces
a single accounting model, requiring the lessee to recognise the “right-of-use” of the underlying asset and the lease liability
reflecting future lease payments liabilities in the statements of financial position. The ROU of lease asset is depreciated in
accordance with the principles in MFRS 116 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and the lease liability is accreted over time with
interest expense recognised in the income statements. For lessors, MFRS 16 retains most of the requirements in MFRS 117.
Lessors continue to classify all leases as either operating leases or finance leases and account for them differently.

The Group and the Company have adopted MFRS 16 retrospectively from 1 January 2019 using the simplified transition
approach and have not restated comparatives for the 2018 reporting period, as permitted under the standard. The
reclassifications and adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance of the
statement of financial position as at 1 January 2019.

As permitted by the exemptions under the standard, the Group and the Company have not applied the principles of MFRS 16
to short term leases (a lease with lease term of 12 months or less from date of commencement) and leases for which the
underlying asset is of low value.

The impact of adoption of MFRS 16 on operating leases and finance leases are as follows:

The Group as lessee

(a) Leases previously classified as operating leases

On adoption of MFRS 16, the Group and the Company recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had
previously been classified as “operating leases” under the principles of MFRS 117. These liabilities are measured at the
present value of the remaining lease payments and discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of
1 January 2019.

On a lease-by-lease basis, the Group and the Company measure the associated ROU of lease asset on a retrospective
basis either at its carrying amount as if the new rules had always been applied or at the amount equal to the lease
liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised as at 31
December 2018.

In applying MFRS 16 for the first time, the Group and the Company have applied the following practical expedients:

(i) The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
(ii) Reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous;
(iii) The accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at the date of initial
application as short term leases;
(iv) The exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the ROU of lease asset at the date of initial application;
and
(v) The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate
the lease.

The Group and the Company have also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of
initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date, the Group relied on its assessment by
applying MFRS 117 and IC Interpretation 4 “Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease”.

(b) Leases previously classified as finance leases

For leases previously classified as finance leases, the Group recognised the carrying amount of the lease asset and
lease liability immediately before transition which were measured applying MFRS 117 as the carrying amount of the ROU
of lease assets and lease liabilities on the date of initial application. The measurement principles of MFRS 16 are then
applied after that date. Consequently, reclassifications from property, plant and equipment, leasehold land use rights
and finance lease liabilities which have been included in borrowings have been made to ROU of lease assets and lease
liabilities respectively on the date of initial application.

There is no impact to the statement of financial position of the Company as at 1 January 2019 following the application of
the practical expedient on short term leases.

The impact on the Group’s and the Company’s financial performance upon adoption of MFRS 16 in the current financial year is
as follows:

(a) Income Statements

Expenses which had included operating lease rental are now replaced by interest expense on lease liabilities (included
within “finance cost”) and depreciation of ROU of lease assets (included within “depreciation and amortisation”); and

(b) Statements of Cash Flows

Operating lease rental outflow for repayment of lease liabilities other than short term and low value leases which were
previously recorded within “net cash flow from operating activities” are now classified as “net cash flow from financing
activities”.

The future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases are payable as follows:

Group
2018
Not later than one year 119.2
Later than one year but not later than five years 162.4
Later than five years 318.7
600.3

The operating lease commitments mainly relate to leases of offices, land and buildings and equipments under
non-cancellable operating lease agreement. The leases have varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal rights.
From 1 January 2019, the Group has recognised right-of-use assets for these leases, except for short term leases
and leases of low value assets.

(ii) The Group as lessor

The future minimum lease receivables under non-cancellable operating lease are as follows:

Group
2018
Not later than one year 50.8
Later than one year but not later than five years 50.8
Later than five years 0.4
102.0

The Group leases out retail spaces and offices to non-related parties under non-cancellable operating leases.
The leases have varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal rights. Generally, the lessees are required to pay
contingent rents computed based on their turnover achieved during the lease period.

As explained in Note 44 to the financial statements, the Group has changed its accounting policies for leases. The new
policies are as described in Note 3. The impact of the change and the reconciliation for the differences between operating
lease commitments disclosed as at 31 December 2018 and lease liabilities recognised at the date of initial application
of 1 January 2019 are disclosed in Note 44 to the financial statements. The maturity analysis of undiscounted lease
payment received by the Group as lessor is disclosed in Note 22 to the financial statements.

46. CONTINGENT LIABILITY

As disclosed in the previous year, a counter claim of approximately USD46.4 million (equivalent to approximately RM191.7
million) was made against Genting Malaysia by Fox Entertainment Group, LLC, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
and FoxNext, LLC (collectively referred to as “Fox”). Genting Malaysia was of the view that the obligation to pay was neither
remote nor probable as the litigation was in its initial phase and the outcome of the claim could not be predicted with
certainty. Therefore, this claim was disclosed as a contingent liability in accordance with MFRS 137 “Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets” as at 31 December 2018.

On 25 July 2019, Genting Malaysia and Fox, Twenty First Century Fox, Inc. and The Walt Disney Company (collectively
referred to as “Parties”) entered into a settlement agreement fully resolving their disputes against each other and
agreeing to dismiss all claims and counterclaims between the Parties in the pending legal action in the United States
District Court for the Central District of California. As such, there is no longer a contingent liability arising from the
dismissal of this counter claim as at 31 December 2019.

200 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF GENTING BERHAD
(Incorporated in Malaysia)
Registration No. 196801000315 (7916-A)

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements of Genting Berhad (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”)
give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2019, and
of their financial performance and their cash flows for the financial year then ended in accordance with Malaysian
Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the
Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.

What we have audited

We have audited the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, which comprise the statements
of financial position as at 31 December 2019 of the Group and of the Company, and the income statements,
statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group
and of the Company for the financial year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary
of significant accounting policies, as set out on pages 84 to 198.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International
Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditors’
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements” section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence and other ethical responsibilities

We are independent of the Group and of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics,
Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-Laws”) and the International Ethics Standards
Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.

Our audit approach

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in
the financial statements of the Group and of the Company. In particular, we considered where the Directors
made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making
assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed
the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether
there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on
the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group and of the Company, the
accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group and the Company operate.

204 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF GENTING BERHAD
(Incorporated in Malaysia)
Registration No. 196801000315 (7916-A)

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d)

Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial statements

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International
Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia. The Directors are also
responsible for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements of the Group and of the Company that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.

In preparing the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, the Directors are responsible for assessing
the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the
Group or the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on
Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on
Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

(a) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

(b) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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
Group’s and of the Company’s internal control.

(c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the Directors.

(d) Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may
cast significant doubt on the Group’s or on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude
that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related
disclosures in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date
of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Company to cease
to continue as a going concern.

(e) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

(f) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements of the Group. We are responsible
for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit
opinion.

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d)

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (cont’d)

We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.

We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current financial
year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law
or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of
doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia, we report that the subsidiaries of
which we have not acted as auditors, are disclosed in Note 49 to the financial statements.

OTHER MATTERS

This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of
the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other
person for the content of this report.

214 REQUIREMENTS OF NEVADA GAMING REGULATIONS ON
GENTING BERHAD AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS

Genting Berhad is registered with the Nevada Gaming Commission (“NGC”) as a publicly traded corporation and certain of
its subsidiaries have been licensed as intermediary companies or a manufacturer/distributor. As such, Genting Berhad
is subject to the Nevada Gaming Control Act, the regulations promulgated thereunder, and the licensing and regulatory
control of the Nevada Gaming Control Board (“Nevada Board”) and the NGC.

The NGC may require anyone having a material relationship or involvement with Genting Berhad to be found suitable or licensed.
Any person who acquires more than 5% of any class of our voting securities must report, within 10 days, the acquisition to the
NGC. Any person who becomes a beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of our voting securities is required to apply
for a finding of suitability within 30 days after the Nevada Board Chair mails written notice. Under certain circumstances, an
“Institutional Investor,” as defined in the NGC’s regulations, that acquires more than 10% but not more than 25% of any class of
our voting securities, may apply to the NGC for a waiver of the requirements for a finding of suitability. Information of the NGC
and Nevada Board is available at their website http://gaming.nv.gov/.

The NGC may also, in its discretion, require any other holders of Genting Berhad’s equity securities or debt securities to file
applications, be investigated, and be found suitable to own Genting Berhad’s equity or debt securities. The applicant security
holder is required to pay all costs of such investigation.

Any person who fails or refuses to apply for a finding of suitability or a license within 30 days after being directed to do so by the
NGC may be found unsuitable based solely on such failure or refusal. The same restrictions apply to a record owner of Genting
Berhad’s equity or debt securities if the record owner, when requested, fails to identify the beneficial owner. Any security holder
found unsuitable and who holds, directly or indirectly, any record or beneficial ownership of the equity or debt security beyond
such period of time prescribed by the NGC may be in violation of the Nevada law.

Any change in control of Genting Berhad through merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets, management or consulting
agreements, or any form of takeover cannot occur without prior investigation by the Nevada Board and approval by the NGC.
