With the building blocks for future growth set firmly in place, the Group today is in a stronger position to capitalise on the many opportunities in its role as the preferred integrated group of companies in the MLM industry

Dear Valued Shareholders, On behalf of the Board of Directors of ZHULIAN CORPORATION BERHAD (ZCB or the Company), it is my great pleasure to present the Annual Repor t and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of ZCB and its subsidiaries (the Group) for the financial year ended 30 November 2010 (FY 2010).

ZHULIAN CORPORATION BERHAD (415527-P) Annual Report 2010

005

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
FY 2010 was the year in which ZCB steered through a challenging operating environment to emerge as an even more resilient company. While many market players adopted a cautious stance in the face of the uncertain economic climate, the Group continued to pursue a strategy of expansion and growth. In the year under review, the Company still managed to exhibit a continuing upward trend and recorded a growth of 2.33% in revenue to RM322.611 million for FY 2010 as compared to RM315.275 million for the last financial year ended 30 November 2009. Meanwhile, Profit Before Taxation increased 3.11% to RM105.897 million for the 2010 financial year, whilst Profit After Taxation for the financial year increased to RM86.672 million, a growth of 5.62% compared to RM82.057 million last financial year. The results were within expectations considering the much challenged economic situation where the prices of raw material that keep escalating had squeezed the margin of the Company. Nevertheless, the Company remains strong financially with net cash increased from RM125.084 million to RM131.547 million, which is equivalent

to 5.17%. With the building blocks for future growth set firmly in place, the Group today is in a stronger position to capitalise on the many opportunities in its role as the preferred integrated group of companies in the MLM industry which has proven to be steadfast in its promise to deliver its people the best infrastructure for further betterment and advancement.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT
Expanding Strategic Infrastructure With the aim to enhance business focus and expand infrastructure strategically, the Company made capital commitments of RM22.756 million at 30 November 2010, mainly to reconstruct the existing building. In furtherance to the expansion plan, ZCB is also in the process of acquiring a land held under PN 5876, Lot 12414, Mukim 12, Daerah Barat Daya Negeri Pulau Pinang. DEXASSETS SDN. BHD., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company has entered into the said land sale and purchase agreement on 29 July 2010 with a purchase consideration of RM12 million. The land transfer has already been approved by the relevant authority on 22 November 2010.

DIVIDENDS
Adhering to Dividend Policy Taken together with the fourth interim dividends declared earlier in the year of 2011, the total dividend for the financial year ended 30 November 2010 amounts to 12 sen net per ordinary share of 50 sen each. The total net dividend payout of RM51.75 million will translate into a net dividend yield of 7% as at 30 November 2010. This dividend paid-out is in concurrence with the Groups policy of creating value for shareholders through a sustainable dividend policy, i.e. 60% of Profit After Tax. This is the 4th consecutive financial year that ZCB has declared dividends to shareholders since listing on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad in 2007.

BONUS ISSUE
Increasing Share Capital ZCB has successfully implemented the corporate proposal of bonus issue which was approved by the shareholders in the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 2 July 2010. The bonus issue of 115,000,000 new ordinary shares of 50 sen each in the Company on the basis of one new ordinary share for every three existing shares was held on 21 July 2010 as announced on 5 July 2010.

OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS


In a preview of its economic report for 2011 published in early December, the United Nations said the world economy is expected to slow in 2011 with economists cutting their forecasts for growth in developed countries. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) in its bi-annual report on Asia Economic Monitor in December 2010 also mentioned that the economic growth in emerging East Asia would likely moderate next year, with Malaysia posting a full-year growth of 5% against a weaker global economic outlook and the overall phasing out of fiscal and monetary stimulus plans. However, in the Economic Report 2010/2011 published by the Ministry of Finance Malaysia, the Malaysia economy is expected to register growth of 5% to 6% led by strong expansion in manufacturing and services sectors in an environment of stable prices with inflation rate below 3%. Other than that, regional market such as Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore are also forecast to show

steady real GDP growth of 4.0%, 6.2% and 4.5% respectively. In view of the initiative set in place by the Malaysian Government to transform the country into a developed and high-income nation by 2020 through Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) which was announced by the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak in September 2010, the Group believes the economy will change for better. The Group is also optimistic about the Private Funding Initiatives (PFIs) and consumer spending projects under the Governments ETP in which tourism, wholesale, retail and distribution have been identified as National Key Economic Areas (NKEA), will further drive the domestic economy. Even though the Board of Directors are of the opinion that the Group will continue to experience a challenging period ahead for the next financial year and is also mindful that external factors such as a prolonged weakness in the global economy may impact upon the Groups development plans and overall performance, the Group will continue to implement the rationalisation of its operations by focussing on continuous improvements in the aspect of product quality, productivity, utilisation of resources and cost control. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Board of Directors is reasonably confident that the prospects for the Group remain positive. The Group will continue to place emphasis on its consumable products business. In light of more new product line-up to be added into the existing product mix, ZCB envisages that demand for the Groups products, both local and overseas, at market will remain encouraging as it move forward into the new financial year.

APPRECIATION
On behalf of ZCBs Board of Directors, I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to all the shareholders and stakeholders for their continuing support and unwavering confidence in the Group. I also wish to convey my sincere gratitude to the Malaysian Government, regulatory authorities as well as our business associates, suppliers and bankers for their steadfast support and the kind cooperation extended to the Group. We would not be where we are today without the hard work and sacrifices of our loyal Distributors, also our distinguished leaders, committed authorised agents and dedicated employees. Our utmost gratitude to our Distributors especially our leaders for the diligence and dynamism they have demonstrated amidst the challenges of a highly competitive operating environment in MLM industry. I also wish to convey my deep appreciation to other members of the Board and our senior management team for their visionary foresight, strong leadership and prudent insights which helped us to sail through FY 2010 smoothly. We shall face the challenges and capitalise on the opportunities that may present before us in 2011 and I am confident that all of the Group will accelerate forward by building upon the good momentum already in place.

Namun, di dalam Laporan Ekonomi 2010/2011 yang diterbitkan oleh Kementerian Kewangan Malaysia, ekonomi Malaysia dijangkakan akan merekodkan pertumbuhan di antara 5% ke 6% yang dipandu oleh pertumbuhan kukuh sektor pengilangan dan perkhidmatan di dalam persekitaran harga yang stabil dengan kadar inflasi bawah 3%. Selain itu, pasaran serantau seperti Thailand, Indonesia dan Singapura juga diramalkan akan menunjukkan pertumbuhan KDNK benar yang kukuh, masing-masing sebanyak 4%, 6.2% dan 4.5%. Melihat kepada inisiatif

yang dirangka oleh Kerajaan Malaysia untuk merubah negara kita kepada sebuah negara yang maju dan berpendapatan tinggi menjelang t a h u n 2 0 2 0 m e l a l u i Pr o g r a m Transformasi Ekonomi (ETP) yang diumumkan oleh Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak pada September 2010, Kumpulan yakin ekonomi akan berubah menjadi lebih baik. Kumpulan juga memandang optimis terhadap Inisiatif Pembiayaan Swasta (PFI) dan projek perbelanjaan pengguna di bawah ETP Kerajaan di mana pelancongan, perniagaan borong, perniagaan runcit dan pengedaran telah dikenalpasti sebagai Aktiviti Ekonomi Utama Nasional (NKEA), akan terus memacu ekonomi dalam negara. Walaupun Lembaga Pengarah berpendapat bahawa Kumpulan akan terus melalui tempoh yang mencabar di masa depan untuk tahun kewangan berikutnya, di samping turut memikirkan faktorfaktor luaran seperti kelemahan berpanjangan di dalam ekonomi global berkemungkinan membawa impak ke atas pelan pembangunan dan prestasi keseluruhan Kumpulan, namun Syarikat akan terus melaksanakan pendekatan yang rasional dalam pengoperasiannya dengan menumpukan kepada penambahbaikan berterusan dari aspek kualiti produk, produktiviti, penggunaan sumber serta kawalan kos. Selain daripada keadaan yang tidak dapat dijangkakan, Lembaga Pengarah berkeyakinan sesungguhnya prospek Kumpulan kekal positif. Kumpulan akan terus meletakkan penekanan terhadap perniagaan produk gunapakai (consumeable) . Memandangkan lebih banyak barisan produk akan ditambahkan kepada campuran produk sedia ada, ZCB menjangkakan permintaan untuk produk Kumpulan di dalam dan luar negara, akan kekal menggalakkan sementara ia menuju ke tahun kewangan yang baru.

PENGHARGAAN
Bagi pihak Lembaga Pengarah ZCB , saya ingin mengucapkan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan kepada semua pemegang saham dan pemegang kepentingan di atas sokongan berterusan dan keyakinan yang tidak pernah luntur terhadap Kumpulan. Saya juga ingin menyampaikan terima kasih tidak terhingga kepada Kerajaan Malaysia, pihak berkuasa serta rakan sekutu, pembekal dan bank-bank di atas sokongan padu serta kerjasama yang diberikan kepada Kumpulan. Kita tidak akan sampai ke tahap hari ini tanpa usaha keras dan pengorbanan para Pengedar yang setia, para Pemimpin yang dihormati, para ejen bertauliah yang beriltizam dan para pekerja yang berdedikasi. Penghargaan tertinggi buat para Pengedar terutamanya para Pemimpin kerana keazaman dan kedinamikan yang telah dipamerkan di kala menghadapi persekitaran operasi yang serba mencabar di dalam industri MLM. Saya juga ingin menyampaikan penghargaan ikhlas buat ahli-ahli Lembaga dan barisan pengurusan kanan kita kerana wawasan jauh, kepimpinan teguh dan pengertian mendalam yang membantu kita melayari FY 2010 dengan lancar sekali. Kita akan hadapi cabaran dan memanfaatkan setiap peluang yang wujud di hadapan kita di tahun 2011, dan saya yakin Kumpulan akan terus mara ke depan dengan momentum hebat yang telah dicetuskan.

OPERATION REVIEW

Its years of experience enable the Group to overcome the obstacles and the evolving pace of its consolidated businesses, at the same time creates new opportunities to support long-term growth. The Groups effort to restructure and consolidate the expertise of its many different subsidiaries continues to bear fruit. Aside from enhancing its business focus and ensuring the best use of its resources, the integration has allowed the Group to operate more smoothly and quickly. Moreover, through integration, the Group has been able to enjoy better margins and cost efficiencies to provide better value to its shareholders, Distributors and customers. This FY 2010 saw an overall satisfactory performance in both Multi-level Marketing and Manufacturing business divisions considering the softer regional economy. A substantial increase of over 15% in export demand helped offset the decline in local demand.

Multi-level Marketing (MLM)


Capturing New Opportunities in Face of Challenges Ahead The Groups MLM business has shown a lower growth in the number of Distributors in its regional network whereby it has only increase 12.76% to 540,581 from 479,413. At the meantime, its agency network that spans across Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore has also expanded from 273 to 293 authorised agencies in total as of 30 November 2010. The situation has not been rosy during the year under review on the local and overseas market i.e. Indonesia and Singapore except for the Thailand market which showed a positive growth of 17% in revenue. Hence, in pushing the existing market to be stronger, the MLM business division has plans in place to gear up its promotional activities and tackle new market segment through the launch of new products relevant to the ever-changing and highly-competitive market.

Improving the Infrastructure for Future Growth As to advance forward, the Group has taken the initiative to revamp its International Headquarters building since November 2009 and the construction process has been completed in early 2011. The newly revamped building with more sophisticated infrastructures will serve as a new brand identity and hallmark of success for the Group one that serves to convey its dynamism and strong momentum to accelerate towards new heights of success. The new 3-storey building has a 2,000-pax auditorium as the venue to hold a variety of events for Distributors; also a new manufacturing plant for bedding product range, a big warehouse for storing finished goods and a spacious cafeteria for visiting Distributors. The international operation centre for the MLM business segment has already been shifted back to the modern, extensively refurbished office in the newly revamped building.

Strategic Marketing Campaigns Creates Positive Impacts ZHULIAN (THAILAND) LTD . , the associated company of ZHULIAN CORPORATION BERHAD had also made a significant step forward in its histor y and opened its mega auditorium in the premises adjacent to its regional office building in October 2010 af ter almost 2 years of construction. The state-of-the-art 2storey building houses a 6000-pax seating capacity convention centre that is fully equipped with sophisticated sound and multi-media systems, a broad stage and other technical facilities. The beautifully designed lobby has a stylish escalator and stairs led to the foyer of the convention centre. The new building also consists of a cosy 1000-seater cafeteria and a marketing office. Training Seminars, Conventions and Loyalty Programmes for Distributors With the objective to infuse its Distributors with up-to-date product knowledge and MLM business knowhow as well as develop their leadership potential, a variety of training programmes were designed, scheduled and conducted at various locations across the regions. The top achievers and newly promoted Distributors were also given due recognitions during the Day of Honour which is a regional convention and Night of Honour - the national convention. Meanwhile, in its commitment to deliver the best to Distributors, the Group has designed a series of unique Loyalty Programme as part of its effort to reward the deserving Distributors in recognition of their support, loyalty The Groups MLM division took a more aggressive step to boost its seasonal demands during the year under review by launching the Riang Ria Raya Promotion and the 2010 ZHULIAN Tour Incentive Tour Campaign with destinations to Umrah & Ziarah / Shanghai, China. Apart from these campaigns, the Diamond International Forum 2011 to Dubai, UAE which required the Distributors to meet certain qualifications during the year under review was also one of the major stimuli to sales.

A More Rewarding Business Plan ZHULIANs MLM business model provides a unique competitive advantage for ZCB. As announced at the year end of 2010, the latest amendments on the marketing plan which was set to be launched in early 2011 cover the following 4 areas: First, motivating the distributors; second, improving the Groups competitiveness; third, instil higher ethical value and fourth, improving our overall business effectiveness. With all loyal and dedicated Distributors coming together as one to consolidate their wealth of experience and expertise, ZCB is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

New Product Line-Up to Boost Future Sales Currently, the food manufacturing division of ZCB , namely ZHULIAN INDUSTRIES SDN. BHD. (ZISB) , is bringing consumers a wide range of the finest and most sought after food & beverage products and dietary supplements.

Board Committees
The Board has delegated appropriate responsibilities to Board Committees, namely Audit Committee, Nominating Committee and Remuneration Committee, in order to enhance business and operational efficiency and efficacy. Terms of references have been established for all Board Committees and the Board receives reports of their proceedings and deliberations.

Board Balance
At the date of this statement, the Board consists of eight members, comprising three Independent Non-Executive Directors and five Executive Directors. The Board composition complies with the directors independence requirement set out under paragraph 15.02 of the Listing Requirements which requires that at least two Directors or one-third of the Board of the Company, whichever is the higher, are independent Directors. A brief profile of each Director is presented on pages 17 to 20 of this Annual Report. The diverse background and specialisation of each Director means that the Board is collectively equipped to provide guidance to the Group in areas such as finance, corporate affairs and legal affairs, marketing, operations and governmental affairs. The Executive Directors are responsible for implementing the policies and decisions of the Board, overseeing the operations as well as co-ordinating the development and implementation of business and corporate strategies, reporting, clarifying and communicating matters at the Board meeting. The Independent Non-Executive Directors bring to bear objective and independent judgment to the decision making of the Board and provide a capable check and balance for the Executive Directors. As such there is a proper balance in the Board because of the presence of Independent Non-Executive Director of the calibre necessary to carry sufficient weight in Board decisions. The Non-Executive Directors contribute significantly in areas such as policy and strategy, performance monitoring as well as improving governance and controls. Together with the Executive Directors who have intimate knowledge of the business, the Board is constituted of individuals who have a proper understanding and competence to deal with the current and emerging issues. There is a clear division of responsibilities at the head of the Company to ensure a balance of authority and power. The Board is led by Haji Wan Mansoor bin Wan Omar as the Independent Non-Executive Chairman whilst the executive management of the Company is led by Mr Teoh Beng Seng as the Group President and Chief Executive Officer. The Board holds the view that its current composition fairly reflects the investments of shareholders in the Company.

Supply of Information
All Directors are supplied with information in a timely manner through reports and Board papers which are circulated prior to the meetings. This practice enables the Directors to obtain further information and explanation, where necessary, before the meetings. In addition, every Director is accorded unhindered access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary, of whom the Board believes to be competent in the performance of her duties. The Board believes that the current Company Secretary is capable of carrying out her duties to ensure the effective functioning of the Board. The Companys Articles of Association specify that the removal of the Company Secretary is a matter for the Board as a whole. In respect of soliciting independent professional advice, the Board as a whole will determine, whether as a full Board or in their individual capacity, to take this measure where necessary and under appropriate circumstances in furtherance of their duties. The independent professional advice, where obtained, will be at the Companys expense. Nevertheless, where necessary and under appropriate circumstances in furtherance of his duties, a Director may do so with the prior consent of the Chairman.

Introduction
Paragraph 15.26(b) of the Listing Requirements requires the Board of Directors of public listed companies to include in its Annual Report a statement about the state of internal control of the listed issuer as a group. Furthermore, the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance requires all listed companies to maintain a sound system of internal control to safeguard shareholders investment and the Companys assets. The Board is committed to maintaining a sound system of internal control in the Group and is pleased to provide the following statement, which outlines the nature and scope of internal control of the Group during the financial year ended 30 November 2010.

Board Responsibility
The Board is ultimately responsible for maintaining the Groups system of internal control, which includes the establishment of an appropriate control environment and framework to safeguard shareholders investment and Groups assets as well as reviewing the adequacy and integrity of these systems. Because of the limitations that are inherent in any system of internal control, this system is designed to manage, rather than eliminate, the risk of failure to achieve corporate objectives. Accordingly, it can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The system of internal control covers, inter-alia, financial, operational and compliance controls and risk management procedures.

Risk Management Processes


The objective is to add maximum sustainable value to all the business activities in the Group, measures and control systems are in place to manage the business risks faced by the Group, so as to increase the probability of success, and reduces both the probability of failure and the uncertainty of achieving the Groups overall objectives and goals. The Board has established a proper risk management framework that conforms to the Internal Control Guidance to better identify, assess and prioritise the possible risk factors that may affect the results of the goals set, then brainstorm the mitigation actions for each risk factor and build a risk profile to ensure the risks are under control. In this context, the risk management function is led by the Internal Audit Department whereby the process is integrated into the operation system of the related companies under the Group with each director, manager and head of department responsible for the management of risk as part of their job description. The Audit Committee that consists of the Board members will then review the Risk Management Report produced by the Internal Audit Department. In view of risk management is a continuous process which runs throughout the planning, implementation and control process of the Group, the effectiveness of the risk management process are reviewed from time to time and changes may be made to include new risk factors or exclude those no longer applicable when necessary.

Group Internal Audit Function


The Group Internal Audit Function was established by the Board to provide independent assurance on the adequacy of risk management, internal control and governance systems within the Group. The Internal Audit Department operates in accordance with the Internal Audit Charter and reports directly to the Audit Committee. The internal audit function, which is independent of the activities they audit, maintains their impartiality, proficiency and due professional care by having their plans and reports directly under the purview of the Audit Committee who reviews and approves the internal audit functions annual audit plan, financial budget and human resource requirements to ensure that the function is adequately resourced with competent and proficient internal auditors. The internal audit function adopted the risk based methodology in its review of key processes of the various operating units in the Group and provided independent and objective reports on the state of internal control of the various operating units within the Group direct to the Audit Committee. The internal audit function also ensured that Management followed up in the implementation of action plans where control deficiencies were noted during internal audits.

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances : i) ii) iii) iv) that would render the amount written off for bad debts, or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts, in the Group and in the Company inadequate to any substantial extent, or that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading, or 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, or not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements, that would render any amount stated in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.

At the date of this report, there does not exist : i) ii) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year and which secures the liabilities of any other person, and any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year.

(a) Statement of compliance (Contd)
The Group and the Company plan to apply the abovementioned standards, amendments and interpretations : from the annual period beginning 1 December 2010 for those standards, amendments or interpretations that will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010, 1 March 2010 and 1 July 2010 except for those marked with * which are not applicable to the Group and the Company; from the annual period beginning 1 December 2011 for those standards, amendments or interpretations that will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 and 1 July 2011, except for those marked with # which are not applicable to the Group and the Company; and from the annual period beginning 1 December 2012 for those standards, amendments or interpretations that will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012, except for those marked with ^ which is not applicable to the Group and the Company. Following the announcement by the MASB on 1 August 2008, the Groups and Companys financial statements will be prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) framework for annual periods beginning on 1 December 2012. The change of the financial reporting framework is not expected to have any significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Group and the Company. The initial application of a standard, an amendment or an interpretation, which will be applied prospectively, or which requires extended disclosures, is not expected to have any financial impacts to the current and prior periods financial statements upon their first adoption. The impacts and disclosures as required by FRS 108.30(b), Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, in respect of applying FRS 7 and FRS 139 are not disclosed by virtue of the exemptions given in these respective FRSs. The impacts of initial application of a standard, an amendment or an interpretation, which will be applied retrospectively, are disclosed below: (i) Improvements to FRSs (2009) Improvements to FRSs (2009) contain various amendments that result in accounting changes for presentation, recognition or measurement and disclosure purposes. Amendments that have material impact are: FRS 117, Leases The amendments clarify that the classification of lease of land and require entities with existing leases of land and buildings to reassess the classification of land as finance or operating lease. Leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease will be reclassified to property, plant and equipment. The adoption of these amendments will result in a change in accounting policy which will be applied retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions. (ii) IC Interpretation 4, Determining whether an Arrangement contains a lease IC Interpretation 4 provides guidance on determining whether certain arrangements are, or contain, leases that are required to be accounted for in accordance with FRS 117, Leases. Where an arrangement is within the scope of FRS 117, the Group applies FRS 117 in determining whether the arrangement is a finance or an operating lease. The adoption of IC Interpretation 4 will result in a change in accounting policy which will be applied retrospectively in accordance with FRS 108, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors in which certain arrangements are to be accounted for as a finance lease.

Functional and presentation currency


These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is the Companys functional currency. All financial information presented in RM has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.

(d)

Use of estimates and judgements


The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements other than those disclosed in Note 10 assessment on impairment of goodwill. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities, unless otherwise stated.

2. Significant accounting policies


The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of consolidation


(i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities, including unincorporated entities, controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the ability to exercise its power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account. Subsidiaries are consolidated using the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the Companys balance sheet at cost less impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale). (ii) Associates Associates are entities, including unincorporated entities, in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method unless it is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale). The consolidated financial statements include the Groups share of the profit or loss of the equity accounted associates, after adjustments, if any, to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Groups share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted associate, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee. Investments in associates are stated in the Companys balance sheet at cost less any impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale). (iii) Changes in Group composition Where a subsidiary issues new equity shares to minority interests for cash consideration and the issue price has been established at fair value, the reduction in the Groups interests in the subsidiary is accounted for as a disposal of equity interest with the corresponding gain or loss recognised in the income statements. When a group purchases a subsidiarys equity shares from minority interests for cash consideration and the purchase price has been established at fair value, the accretion of the Groups interests in the subsidiary is accounted for as a purchase of equity interest for which the acquisition method of accounting is applied. The Group treats all other changes in group composition as equity transactions between the Group and its minority shareholders. Any difference between the Groups share of net assets before and after the change, and any consideration received or paid, is adjusted to or against Group reserves.

(a) Basis of consolidation (Contd)
(iv) Minority interest Minority interest at the balance sheet date, being the portion of the net identifiable assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity interests that are not owned by the Company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, are presented in the consolidated balance sheet and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. Minority interest in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the consolidated income statement as an allocation of the total profit or loss for the year between minority interest and the equity holders of the Company. Where losses applicable to the minority exceed the minoritys interest in the equity of a subsidiary, the excess, and any further losses applicable to the minority, are charged against the Groups interest except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation to, and is able to, make additional investment to cover the losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reports profits, the Groups interest is allocated with all such profits until the minoritys share of losses previously absorbed by the Group has been recovered. (v) Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Groups interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

(b) Foreign currency


(i) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions except for those that are measured at fair value, which are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in the income statements. (ii) Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia The assets and liabilities of operations in functional currencies other than RM, including goodwill and fair value adjustments, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the balance sheet date, except for goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from business combinations before 1 January 2006 which are reported using the exchange rates at the dates of the acquisitions. The income and expenses of operations in functional currencies other than RM are translated to RM at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised in translation reserve. On disposal of operations, accumulated translation differences are recognised in the consolidated income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale. (iii) Net investment in foreign operations Exchange differences arising from monetary items that in substance form part of the Companys net investment in foreign operations, are recognised in the Companys income statement. Such exchange differences are reclassified to equity in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred exchange differences are recognised in the consolidated income statement upon disposal of the investment.

(c) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. The cost of selfconstructed assets also includes the cost of materials and direct labour and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised in accordance with the Groups accounting policy. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. The cost of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on fair value at acquisition date. The fair value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arms length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The fair value of other items of plant and equipment is based on the quoted market prices for similar items. When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within other operating income or other operating expenses respectively in the income statements. (ii) Reclassification to investment property Property that is being constructed for future use as investment property is accounted for as property, plant and equipment until construction or development is complete, at which time it is reclassified as investment property. (iii) Subsequent costs The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the income statements as incurred. (iv) Depreciation Depreciation is recognised in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land is not depreciated. Property, plant and equipment under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use. The depreciation rates for the current and comparative periods based on their estimated useful lives are as follows :

%
Buildings Freehold shoplots Plant and machinery, moulds, tools and equipment Furniture, fittings and office equipment Motor vehicles 2 2 10 - 50 10 - 50 20

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at the balance sheet date.

(d) Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill Goodwill arises on business combinations and is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For acquisitions prior to 1 January 2006, goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Groups interest in the fair values of the net identifiable assets and liabilities. For business acquisitions beginning from 1 January 2006, goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Groups interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. Any excess of the Groups interest in the net fair value of acquirees identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in income statements. (ii) Research and development Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in the income statements as an expense as incurred. Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete development. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditure is recognised in the income statements as an expense as incurred. Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. (iii) Amortisation Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that they may be impaired.

(e) Investments in debt and equity securities


Investments in debt and equity securities are recognised initially at fair value plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition : Investments in non-current equity securities other than investments in subsidiaries and associates, are stated at cost less allowance for diminution in value; and Investments in non-current debt securities are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less allowance for diminution in value.

Where in the opinion of the Directors, there is a decline other than temporary in the value of non-current equity securities and non-current debt securities other than investment in subsidiaries and associates, the allowance for diminution in value is recognised as an expense in the financial year in which the decline is identified. On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in the income statements. All investments in debt and equity securities are accounted for using settlement date accounting. Settlement date accounting refers to : a) b) the recognition of an asset on the day it is received by the entity, and the derecognition on an asset and recognition of any gain or loss on disposal on the date it is delivered.

2. Significant accounting policies (Contd)


(f) Impairment of assets
The carrying amounts of assets except for financial assets, inventories, deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the assets recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill that has indefinite useful life, the recoverable amount is estimated usually at each reporting date. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash generating unit). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statements. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (groups of units) on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to the income statements in the year in which the reversals are recognised.

(g) Leased assets


(i) Finance lease Leases in terms of which the Group or the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed. (ii) Operating lease Leases, where the Group does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership are classified as operating leases and, except for property interest held under operating lease, the leased assets are not recognised on the Groups balance sheet. Property interest held under an operating lease, which is held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, is classified as investment property. Leasehold land that normally has an indefinite economic life and title is not expected to pass to the lessee by the end of the lease term is treated as an operating lease. The payment made on entering into or acquiring a leasehold land is accounted for as prepaid lease payments. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

2. Significant accounting policies (Contd)


(h) Investment property
(i) Investment property carried at cost Investment properties are properties which are owned to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. These include land (other than leasehold land) held for a currently undetermined future use. Properties that are occupied by the companies in the Group are accounted for as owner-occupied rather than as investment property. Investment properties are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, consistent with the accounting policy for property, plant and equipment as stated in accounting policy note 2(c). Transfers between investment property and property, plant and equipment do not change the carrying amount of the property transferred. Depreciation is charged to the income statements on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 50 years for buildings. Freehold land is not depreciated. (ii) Determination of fair value The Directors estimate the fair values of the Groups investment property without involvement of independent valuers. The fair values are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arms length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

(i) Land held for development


Land held for development consist of land or such portions thereof on which no development activities have been carried out or where development activities are not expected to be completed within the Groups normal operating cycle of 2 to 3 years. Such land is classified as non-current asset and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Land held for development is reclassified as property development costs at the point when development activities have commenced and where it can be demonstrated that the development activities can be completed within the Groups normal operating cycle of 2 to 3 years. Cost associated with the acquisition of land includes the purchase price of the land, professional fees, stamp duties, commissions, conversion fees and other relevant levies.

(j) Receivables
Receivables are initially recognised at their cost when the contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity is established. Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are stated at cost less allowance for doubtful debts. Receivables are not held for the purpose of trading.

(k) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in, first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of work-in-progress and manufactured inventories, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The fair value of inventories acquired in a business combination is determined based on its estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventories.

2. Significant accounting policies (Contd)


(l) Assets classified as held for sale
Assets (or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities) that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets (or components of a disposal group) are remeasured in accordance with the Groups accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets (or disposal group) are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group first is allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities on pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets and investment property, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Groups accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised in the income statements. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

(m) Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits, if any.

(n) Equity instruments


All equity instruments are stated at cost on initial recognition and are not re-measured subsequently. Share issue expenses Incremental costs directly attributable to issue of equity instruments are recognised as a deduction from equity.

(o) Payables
Payables are measured initially and subsequently at cost. Payables are recognised when there is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity.

(p) Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

(q) Contingent liabilities


Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Where the Company enters into financial guarantee contracts to guarantee the indebtedness of other companies within its group, the Company considers these to be insurance arrangements, and accounts for them as such. In this respect, the Company treats the guarantee contract as a contingent liability until such time as it becomes probable that the Company will be required to make a payment under the guarantee.

(r) Borrowings
Borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the income statements over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

(s) Employee benefits


Short-term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and sick leave are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. The Groups contributions to statutory pension funds are charged to the income statements in the year to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment obligations.

(t) Income recognition


(i) Goods sold and services rendered Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods. Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the income statements in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed. (ii) Dividend income Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. (iii) Rental income Rental income from investment property is recognised in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.

(u) Interest income and borrowing cost


Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. All borrowing costs are recognised in the income statements using the effective interest method, in the period in which they are incurred except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be prepared for its intended use. The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or completed.

(v) Tax expense
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Tax expense is recognised in the income statements except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Unutilised reinvestment allowance is treated as tax base of assets and is recognised as a reduction of tax expense as and when it is utilised.

(w) Earnings per ordinary share


The Group presents basic earnings per ordinary share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

(x) Operating segments


In the previous years, a segment was a distinguishable component of the Group that was engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment) which was subject to risks and rewards that were different from those of other segments. Following the adoption of FRS 8, Operating Segments, an operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Groups other components. An operating segments operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker, which in this case is the Chief Executive Officer of the Group, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Impairment testing
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, at acquisition, to the cash-generating unit (CGU) that is expected to benefit from that business combination. The carrying amount of goodwill is allocated to the business segment of multi-level marketing as CGU. The recoverable amount of the CGU was based on value in use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period extrapolated using growth rates determined based on historical experience, managements assessment of future trends and expectations of market developments in the industries concerned. The key assumptions on which the cash flow projections are based relate to discount rates, sales growth rates and expected changes in operating costs. In determining the recoverable amount of CGU, the projected cash flows were discounted using pre-tax discount rate of 12.5% (2009 : 13.0%) which is specific to the CGU.

24. Basic earnings per ordinary share


The calculation of basic earnings per ordinary share was based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of RM87,065,000 (2009 : RM82,005,000) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year of 460,000,000 (2009 : 460,000,000). The calculation of earnings per share for the previous financial year has been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the changes in the number of shares as a result of the bonus issue during the current financial year.

30. Financial instruments


Exposure to credit, interest rate, currency and liquidity risks arises in the normal course of Groups business.

Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. At balance sheet date, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk other than the amount due from an associate (Note 12). The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet.

Interest rate risk


The Group places excess funds with reputable licensed banks to generate interest income for the Group.

Foreign currency risk


The Group incurs foreign currency risk on sales, purchases and dividend income which are denominated in a currency other than Ringgit Malaysia. The currency that gives rise to this is primarily US dollar, Thai Baht, Singapore dollar and Indonesian Rupiah. In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies other than RM, the Group ensures that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level, by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates where necessary to address short-term imbalances.

Liquidity risk
The liquidity risk is minimal as the Group maintains adequate funds to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

Effective interest rates and repricing analysis


In respect of interest-earning financial assets, the following table indicates their average effective interest rates at the balance sheet date and the periods in which they mature, or if earlier, reprice.

Fair values
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables, approximate fair values due to the relatively short term nature of these financial instruments. The Company provides financial guarantees to financial institutions for credit facilities extended to certain subsidiaries. The fair value of such financial guarantees is not expected to be material as the probability of the subsidiaries defaulting on the credit lines is remote. The fair values of other financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts shown in the balance sheets, are as follows :
