The Group’s revenue increased by 3.64% from RM87.25 million for FYE2020 to RM90.43 million for the FYE2021. The
slight increase in revenue was attributed by the gradual relaxation of movement control orders and opening of borders,
increasing our export sales.
For FYE2021, the Group recorded profit before tax (“PBT”) of RM2.41 million, which compared relatively unfavourable
against RM3.67 million in FYE2020. The decrease was contributed mainly by the increase in cost of raw materials and
freight charges. As a result, the Group’s earnings per share for the year dropped to 0.84 sen in FYE2021, as compared
to 1.26 sen in FYE2020.
Despite the turmoil of the Covid-19 pandemic, our Group managed to navigate through the challenging and gloomy
domestic and global business environments to deliver a healthy PBT for the financial year. Overall, the Group’s financial
position remains stable with increase in shareholders’ equity from RM162.25 million for FYE2020 to RM163.76 million
for FYE2021.
The Group’s net assets per share increased by RM0.01 from RM0.90 in the FYE2020 to RM0.91 for FYE2021.
Our Group remains committed to pursue continuous improvements in our products and technical capabilities, as well
as operational and production efficiencies. Our Group constantly invests in machineries and equipments to modernise
and to increase automation in our production processes and a new battery manufacturing plant to diversify our products.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Business and operational risks that are inherent in the industry which we operate include, amongst others, labour and
raw material shortages, increase in labour costs and fluctuation in the price of raw materials.
Our Group Chairman and factory general manager have over 40 years of relevant experience in the battery industry.
While other Directors and key management personnels also have exposure in the manufacturing, trading, marketing,
management and banking industry. Our Group is optimistic that having experienced Directors and key managements
is one of the major mitigating factors to managing the risks mentioned above.
Political, economic and regulatory conditions in Malaysia and overseas could affect the profitability and business prospect
of our Group. These uncertainties include, but not limited to changes in political leadership, changes in investment
policies, taxation, nationalisation, changes in interest rates, risks of war and global economic downturn. Our sales and
marketing team maintains overview of the business environment of the overseas markets and ensure that the credit
facilities we offered are in a manner to minimise financial risks to our Group.
Our Group’s revenue is derived from both local sales and exports. Revenue generated from exports is mainly
denominated in United States Dollar (“USD”). As such, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange losses or gains
arising from timing differences. As a countermeasure, our Group maintains foreign currency accounts to off-set some
of our purchases in foreign currency to provide a certain degree of natural hedge against sudden fluctuations in USD.
Although our Group has put in place various initiatives to mitigate the risks mentioned above, we acknowledge that
some of these risks are beyond our Group’s control. There is no assurance that these risks will not have adverse material
impact on the Group’s performance.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Year 2021 continued to be a difficult year despite the herd immunity from the Covid-19 vaccination program and gradual
relaxation of lockdown and containment measures. The domestic and global economic environment remained sluggish
and challenging as a result of various mutations of Covid-19 viruses, fluctuations in the foreign exchange, increasing
freight rates and prolonged supply chain disruptions.
The automotive industry had recorded a decline for a second consecutive year with a total industry volume (“TIV”) of
508,911 vehicles registered in Malaysia in year 2021, which is a slight decrease of 20,603 vehicles or -4% from the
529,514 units which was achieved in 2020, due to shortages of semiconductor chips and extension of sales tax incentive
for passenger vehicles to 30 June 2022, which may cause some consumers to defer their purchase of new vehicles.
The President of Malaysian Automotive Association, Datuk Aishah Ahmad said it was still a commendable performance,
in spite of the challenges faced by the industry, as the forecast TIV announced in July 2021 was 500,000 vehicles.
PROSPECTS
The Malaysia economy grew by 3.1% as a whole in 2021 along with the easing of Covid-19 restriction measures and
accelerated Covid-19 vaccination program. The monetary policy by the central bank to maintain the overnight policy
rate at 1.75% since July 2020 helped to keep economies afloat and support the recovery momentum.
According to Bank Negara Malaysia, the Malaysian economy will expand between 5.5% and 6.5% in 2022 with the
support of continued expansion of global demand and higher private-sector expenditure. Thus, the domestic economy
is expected to remain on its recovery path. With the continuous focus on the fiscal policy, Malaysia can minimise
economic scarring.
The global economy had expanded by 5.9% in 2021 amid the Covid-19 pandemic and the roll-out of Covid-19 vaccination
program worldwide. However, the Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will affect the entire economy with slowing growth and
inflation moving forward. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is a major blow to the global economy as Western governments
imposed sanctions on Russia. The anticipation of higher gasoline prices, higher prices for food, energy, metals and
inputs to manufacturing sector will slow down the growth of gross domestic products as consumers reduce spending.
The Group is expecting to continue to face the challenging economic and business environment in the coming months
as the global economy will remain to be influenced by economic uncertainty surrounding the Russia-Ukraine conflict
and ongoing global trade tensions.
As a way forward, we will continue to be steadfast to our commitments in pursuing continuous improvements in our
products and services, keeping abreast with technology changes and enhancing the efficiencies of our long-term
strategies to strengthen and expand our presence in the existing and new markets, both locally and internationally to
ensure sustainable growth and development.

Sustainability Statement
ABM Fujiya Berhad (“ABM Fujiya”) recognises the importance to continuously strive to integrate sustainability into our
working culture and business to ensure sustainable growth in the long run by considering the significant economic,
environmental and social impacts.
ECONOMIC
As our main business is the manufacture and sale of automotive batteries, we focus on enhancing the performance of
our products from time to time with the latest technology to improve the quality of our products. We also put emphasis
on the after-sales services in order to achieve customer satisfaction and expand clientele. This approach can help us
to maintain a viable business model.
Over the years, our management team had participated in a few large international exhibitions at Laos, Sri Lanka, India,
Myanmar, Latin America, Indonesia, China and Cambodia to raise awareness of our brand overseas, to clarify doubts
by end consumers as well as to penetrate into wider markets.
Due to the closure of borders as a result of Covid-19 pandemic since March 2020, we rely on technology to constantly
stay connected with our existing and potential customers through online communication channels.
ENVIRONMENT
The emission of lead is inevitable in the battery manufacturing industry. ABM Fujiya has undertaken engineering controls
to mitigate the risk in relation to the environment. We installed effluent treatment plants to treat the water effluent before
discharging to civil drain. The coagulated and flocculated solid wastes are filtered and then disposed to a licensed
scheduled waste disposer. Our procedures and standards adhere to the requirements of the Department of Environment.
In our production processes, we have implemented the ISO9001:2015 quality management system to ensure wastages
are reduced. We provide briefings to employees to practise 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle). Some of the measures
taken are replacing the fluorescent light with energy efficient lights such as light-emitting diodes (“LEDs”), to ensure
electricity switches and water taps are turn off when not in use, reuse materials such as pallets, carton boxes, core for
wrapping materials in our production operations and encourage our employees to use recycled papers for unofficial
documents and internal memorandums.
At ABM Fujiya, we are committed to protect the environment while running our day to day operations.

of saving valuable lives beyond monetary contributions as part of our sustainability effort.

have taken extra preventive measures to curb the outbreak by applying the specific SOPs such as social distancing,
daily temperature checks and hand sanitisation, limiting visitors and registration of visitors. We strongly encouraged

and tables the results for review, comment and recommendation by the Board.
The Board comprises four (4) Executive Directors and five (5) Independent Non- Executive Directors. The Board
comprises a majority of Independent Non-Executive Directors, which is in line with the Recommendation of the MCCG
2021 and the MMLR that requires one-third (1/3) of Board members to be independent directors.
The Board is satisfied with the composition and good mix of Executive Directors and Independent Non-Executive
Directors to carry out the Board’s priorities objectively and impartially and to grow the Group effectively. The Board is
mindful of the MCCG 2021 which stipulates the requirement for Board to comprise majority of Independent Directors
if the Chairman is also the Group Managing Director. The Board will give careful consideration and take necessary
measure to comply including any restructuring when the need arises whilst simultaneously ensuring an effective and
suitable composition, including Board size, is achieved in the interest of the Company.
The NC is established to regularly assess the independence of independent directors. The Independent Non-Executive
Directors are also free from any business or related parties relationships that could materially interfere with independent
judgment. Brief profile of each Director is presented from pages 8 to 12 of this Annual Report.
Save for Mr Sim Chong Hong, Encik Ali Bin Adai and Datu Dr Hatta Bin Solhi, all the other Independent Non-Executive
Directors have served the Board for more than twelve (12) years. The NC and Board have reviewed and considered the
suitability of the two directors to continue to act as independent directors. The Company will be seeking shareholders’
approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

effectiveness and implementation of Board policies, directives, strategies and decisions on a day to day basis. In

organisation. The notification shall include an indication of time commitment required under the new appointment as
recommended by MCCG 2021.

that would best strengthen their contributions to the Board.
All Directors have completed the Mandatory Accreditation Programme (“MAP”) required under the MMLR. They are
also mindful that training is essential to all Directors and they should continue to update their skills and knowledge to
effectively execute their duties.
Since the date of last report, the Directors attended the following training/courses:

Introduction
The Board of Directors of ABM Fujiya Berhad is pleased to present its Statement on Risk Management and Internal
Control (“Statement”) for the financial year ended 31 December 2021, in compliance with Paragraph 15.26 (b) of the Main
Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. This Statement has been prepared in accordance
with the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers. The Statement
outlines the nature and state of the risk management and internal control of the Group during the financial year.
Responsibility
The Board acknowledges its responsibility for ensuring that a sound system of risk management and internal control is
maintained within the Group, and for reviewing its design and operational adequacy and effectiveness.
The risk management and internal control system is an integral part of the Group which is designed to:
a) Assist to achieve the business and operational strategies, safeguard the Group’s assets and shareholders’
interests;
b) Ensure proper maintenance of accounting records and reliability of financial reporting;
c) Ensure compliance with relevant legislation and regulations; and
d) Identify, assess, manage and mitigate key risks to the Group.
In view of the limitations inherent in any system, the Board noted that risk management and internal control system is
designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss and to manage the
Group’s risks, rather than to eliminate the risks that may impede the achievement of the Group’s strategies.
The Risk Framework summarises the identification of key risks of the Group, as well as assessment, management and
mitigation of the key risks.
The Board of Directors is responsible to identify and assess key risks faced by the Group, and thereafter design and
implement an appropriate system to mitigate and control these risks.
The following represents some of the key elements of the Group’s risk management and internal control structure:
a) An organisational structure with defined lines of responsibilities and appropriate levels of delegation and
authority;
b) Active participation and involvement by the Managing Director, Finance Manager and key management in
the day to day running of the operations of the business;
c) Board and management meetings are held from time to time, whenever deemed necessary, to address the
operational issues and on quarterly basis to review the Group’s financial performance;
d) A fully independent Audit Committee comprising exclusively Independent Non-Executive Directors that monitor
and review internal control issues identified by the Internal and/or External Auditors during the performance
of their duties; and
e) Quarterly meetings for the Audit Committee to discuss the quarterly financial reports and issues that warrant
the Audit Committee’s attention, of which recommendations are reported to the Board for further deliberations
and action.
The effectiveness of risk management and internal control system may vary over times due to the ever-changing
circumstances and conditions of the Group. The Board will continue to take appropriate action plans to further enhance
the Group’s system of internal control.

The Group’s internal audit function is outsourced to an external consulting firm. The Internal Audit team independently
reviews the risks associated with and controls over business processes and evaluates their adequacy and compliance.
The Group’s internal audit is tabled to and approved by the Audit Committee. Audits are carried out based on a risk
based approach, taking into consideration input of the senior management, the Audit Committee and the Board. Audit
findings and recommendation are reported to the Audit Committee.
The Board recognises that the development of internal control system is a process to identify, evaluate and manage
the key risks faced by the Group. In striving for continuous improvement, the Board will continue to take appropriate
action plans to further enhance the Group’s system of internal control.
Conclusion
For the financial year under review and up to the date of approval of this Statement for inclusion in the Annual Report,
the Board is of the view that the Group’s risk management and internal control system is operating adequately. There
were no material losses incurred as a result of weakness in internal control.
The Board has also received assurance from the Executive Managing Director and the Finance Manager that the
Group’s risk management and internal control system is operating adequately and effectively, in all material aspects,
based on the risk management and internal control system of the Group.
The external auditors have reviewed this Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control pursuant to the scope
set out in Audit and Assurance Practice Guides (“AAPG”) 3, Guidance for Auditors on Engagements to Report on the
Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control included in the Annual Report issued by the Malaysian Institute
of Accountants (“MIA”) for inclusion in the annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2021, and
reported to the Board that nothing has come to their attention that cause them to believe that the statement intended
to be included in the annual report of the Group, in all material aspects:
a) has not been prepared in accordance with the disclosures required by paragraphs 41 and 42 of the Statement
on Risk Management and Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers, or
b) is factually inaccurate.
AAPG 3 does not require the external auditors to consider whether the Directors’ Statement on Risk Management and
Internal Control covers all risks and controls, or to form an opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s
risk management and internal control system including the assessment and opinion by the Board of Directors and
management thereon. The auditors are also not required to consider whether the processes described to deal with material
internal control aspects of any significant problems disclosed in the annual report will, in fact, remedy the problems.
The statement is issued in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors dated 20 April 2022.

ABM Fujiya Berhad is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia and is listed on the
Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The address of the principal place of business and registered office
of the Company is Lot 2224, Section 66, Lorong Pangkalan, Off Jalan Pangkalan, Pending Industrial Estate, 93450
Kuching, Sarawak.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the financial year ended 31 December 2021
comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” and individually referred to as “Group
entities”). The financial statements of the Company as at and for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 do not
include other entities.
The Company is principally engaged in investment holding activities. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are
stated in Note 5 to the financial statements.
The ultimate holding company during the financial year is Kayatas Sdn. Bhd., a company incorporated in Malaysia.
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 20 April 2022.
1. Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Malaysian
Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRSs”), International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements
of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.
The following are accounting standards, amendments and interpretations of the MFRSs that have been
issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board but have not been adopted by the Group and the
Company:
The Group and the Company plan to apply the abovementioned accounting standards, amendments and
interpretations:
• from the annual period beginning on 1 January 2022 for those amendments that are effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021 and 1 January 2022, except for Amendments to MFRS 1
and Amendments to MFRS 141, which are assessed as presently not applicable to the Group and
the Company.
• from the annual period beginning on 1 January 2023 for the accounting standard and amendments
that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, except for MFRS 17 and
Amendments to MFRS 17, which are assessed as presently not applicable to the Group and the
Company.
The initial application of the accounting standards, interpretations or amendments are not expected to have
any material financial impacts to the current period and prior period financial statements of the Group and
the Company.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis other than as disclosed in Note 2.
These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the Company’s functional
currency.
ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021 49
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with MFRSs 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 estimates are 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 the following notes:
• Notes 3 and 4, impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets;
• Note 8, assessment of recoverability on trade receivables.
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.
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities, including structured entities, controlled by the Company. The financial
statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that
control commences until the date that control ceases.
The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Potential
voting rights are considered when assessing control only when such rights are substantive. The
Group also considers it has de facto power over an investee when, despite not having the majority of
voting rights, it has the current ability to direct the activities of the investee that significantly affect the
investee’s return.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less
any impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of
investment includes transaction costs.
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-
group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
50 ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of Group entities at exchange
rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are
retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of
the reporting date, 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 profit or loss, except for differences
arising on the retranslation of equity instruments where they are measured at fair value through comprehensive
income or a financial instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, which are recognised in other
comprehensive income.
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and
only when, the Group or the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without significant financing component) or a financial
liability is initially measured at fair value plus or minus, for an item not at fair value through profit or
loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issuance. A trade receivable
without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
An embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract where the host contract is
not a financial asset, and accounted for separately if, and only if, the derivative is not closely related
to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the host contract is not measured at
fair value through profit or loss. The host contract, in the event an embedded derivative is recognised
separately, is accounted for in accordance with policy applicable to the nature of the host contract.
Financial assets
Categories of financial assets are determined on initial recognition and are not reclassified subsequent
to their initial recognition unless the Group or the Company changes its business model for managing
financial assets in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first
reporting period following the change of the business model.
ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021 51
Amortised cost
Amortised cost category comprises financial assets that are held within a business model whose
objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise on
specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding. The financial assets are not designated as fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent
to initial recognition, these financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange
gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition
is recognised in profit or loss.
Interest income is recognised by applying effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount except
for credit impaired financial assets [see Note 2(h)(i)] where the effective interest rate is applied to the
amortised cost.
Financial assets categorised as amortised costs are subject to impairment assessment [see Note
2(h)(i)].
Financial liabilities
Amortised cost
Financial liabilities not categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss. Any
gains or losses on derecognition are also recognised in the profit or loss.
A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognised and derecognised, as applicable,
using trade date or settlement date accounting in the current year.
Trade date accounting refers to:
(a) the recognition of an asset to be received and the liability to pay for it on the trade date, and
(b) derecognition of an asset that is sold, recognition of any gain or loss on disposal and the
recognition of a receivable from the buyer for payment on the trade date.
52 ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021
(a) the recognition of an asset on the day it is received by the Group or the Company, and
(b) derecognition of an asset and recognition of any gain or loss on disposal on the day that is
delivered by the Group or the Company.
Any change in the fair value of the asset to be received during the period between the trade date and
the settlement date is accounted in the same way as it accounts for the acquired asset.
Generally, the Group or the Company applies settlement date accounting unless otherwise stated for
the specific class of asset.
(iv) Derecognition
A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash
flows from the financial asset expire or transferred, or control of the asset is not retained or substantially
all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred to another party. On
derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and
the sum of consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed)
is recognised in profit or loss.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the
contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference
between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and
the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised
in profit or loss.
(v) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of
financial position when, and only when, the Group or the Company currently has a legally enforceable
right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset
and liability simultaneously.
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and
any accumulated impairment losses.
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
self-constructed assets also includes the cost of materials and direct labour. For qualifying assets,
ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021 53
borrowing costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs. Cost
also may include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign
currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part
of that equipment.
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.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and is recognised
net within “other income” and “other expenses” respectively in profit or loss.
The cost of replacing a component 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
component will flow to the Group or the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying
amount of the replaced component is derecognised to profit or loss. The costs of the day-to-day
servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual
assets are assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that
asset, then that component is depreciated separately.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
each component of an item of property, plant and equipment from the date that they are available for
use. Assets under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of the reporting period,
and adjusted as appropriate.
54 ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021
(e) Leases
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified
asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the
right to control the use of an identified assets, the Group assesses whether:
• The contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly,
and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of physically distinct
asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
• The customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the
asset throughout the period of use; and
• The customer has the right to direct the use of the asset. The customer has this right when it
has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose
the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset
is used in predetermined, the customer has the right to direct the use of the asset if either the
customer has the right to operate the asset; or the customer designed the asset in a way that
predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates
the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative
stand-alone prices. However, for leases of properties in which the Group is a lessee, it has elected not
to separate non-lease components and will instead account for the lease and non-lease components
as a single lease component.
(a) As a lessee
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease
liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any
initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying
asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives
received.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not
paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that
rate cannot be readily determined, the respective Group entities incremental borrowing rate.
Generally, the Group entities use their incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021 55
As a lessee (continued)
(a)
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
• Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments less any incentives receivable;
• Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the
index or rate as at the commencement date;
• Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
• The exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise;
and
• Penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to
terminate early.
The Group excludes variable lease payments that linked to future performance or usage of the
underlying asset from the lease liability. Instead, these payments are recognised in profit or loss
in the period in which the performance or use occurs.
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term
leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group
recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
(b)
As a lessor
When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance
lease or an operating lease.
To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers
substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this
is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating leases.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group allies MFRS 15 to
allocate the consideration in the contract based on the stand-alone selling prices.
The Group recognises assets held under a finance lease in its statement of financial position
and presents them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. The
Group uses the interest rate implicit in the lease to measure the net investment in the lease.
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the
sublease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sublease with reference to the right-
of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head
lease is a short-tem lease to which the group applies the exemption described above, then it
classifies the sublease as an operating lease.
56 ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021
(a) As a lessee
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the
commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the
end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the
same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is
periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of
the lease liability.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is
remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index
or rate, if there is a revision of in-substance fixed lease payments, or if there is a change in the
Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if
the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination
option.
When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying
amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the
right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
(b) As a lessor
The Group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-
line basis over the lease term as part of “other income”.
The Group recognises finance income over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a
constant periodic rate of return on the Group’s net investment in the lease. The Group aims
to allocate finance income over the lease term on a systematic and rational basis. The Group
applies the lease payments relating to the period against the gross investment in the lease to
reduce both the principal and the unearned finance income. The net investment in the lease is
subject to impairment requirements in MFRS 9, Financial Instruments [see note 2(h)(i)].
(f) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average cost formula, except that for raw materials
which is measured based on first-in first-out formula. The cost of inventories includes expenditure incurred
in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in 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.
ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021 57
Cash and cash equivalents consist cash on hand and balances with banks and highly liquid investments
which have an insignificant risk of changes in fair value with original maturities of three months or less, and
are used by the Group and the Company in the management of their short-term commitments. Balances
with banks and investments with original maturities exceeding three months are classified as “other
investments”. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented
net of bank overdrafts.
(h) Impairment
The Group and the Company recognise loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets
measured at amortised cost, debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income, contract assets and lease receivables. Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted
estimate of credit losses.
The Group and the Company measure loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit
loss, except for debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date, cash
and bank balance and other debt securities for which credit risk has not increased significantly since
initial recognition, which are measured at 12-month expected credit loss. Loss allowances for trade
receivables, contract assets and lease receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime
expected credit loss.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since
initial recognition and when estimating expected credit loss, the Group and the Company consider
reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This
includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical
experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information, where available.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default
events over the expected life of the asset, while 12-month expected credit losses are the portion of
expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after
the reporting date. The maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the
maximum contractual period over which the Group and the Company are exposed to credit risk.
The Group and the Company estimate the expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision
matrix with reference to historical credit loss experience.
An impairment loss in respect of financial assets measured at amortised cost is recognised in profit
or loss and the carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
An impairment loss in respect of debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income is recognised in profit or loss and the allowance account is recognised in other comprehensive
income.
58 ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021
At each reporting date, the Group and the Company assess whether financial assets carried at
amortised cost and debt securities at fair value through other comprehensive income are credit-
impaired. A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact
on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or full) to the extent that
there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group or the Company
determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient
cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off
could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s or the Company’s
procedures for recovery amounts due.
The carrying amounts of other assets (except for inventories and deferred tax asset) are reviewed at
the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any
such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
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 cash-generating units. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purpose
of goodwill impairment testing, cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are
aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at
which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. The goodwill acquired in a business
combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to a cash-generating unit or a group
of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair
value less costs of disposal. 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 or cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit
exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-
generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the
cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and then to reduce the carrying amounts of
the other assets in the cash-generating unit (groups of cash-generating units) on a pro rata basis.
ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021 59
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period 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 since the last
impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s
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 profit or loss in the financial year in which the reversals are recognised.
(i) Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Instruments classified as equity are measured at cost on initial
recognition and are not remeasured subsequently.
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 liability 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 Group’s contributions to statutory pension funds are charged to profit or loss in the financial year
to which they relate. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund
or a reduction in future payments is available.
(i) Revenue
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer in exchange
for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The Group or the Company recognises revenue when (or as) it transfers control over a product or
service to customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of the asset.
60 ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021
The Group or the Company transfers control of a good or service at a point in time unless one of the
following overtime criteria is met:
(a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided as the Group or the
Company performs;
(b) the Group’s or the Company’s performance creates or enhances an assets that the customer
controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or
(c) the Group’s or the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and
the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
(ii) Rental income
Rental income is recognised in profit or loss 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. Rental income from sub-leased property is recognised as “other income”.
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method in profit or loss.
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which
are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are
capitalised as part of the cost of those assets.
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.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure
on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021 61
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or
loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or
other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using
tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax
payable in respect of previous financial years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. 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 or 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 end of the reporting period.
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement
of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or
on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or their tax
assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will
be realised.
Unutilised reinvestment allowance, being tax incentives that is not a tax base of an asset, is recognised as
a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that the future taxable profits will be available against
which the unutilised tax incentive can be utilised.
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares (“EPS”).
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, adjusted for own shares
held.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

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 Group’s other components. Operating segment results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating
decision maker, which in this case is the Executive Chairman of the Group, to make decisions about resources
to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information
is available.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be
estimated reliably, the obligation is not recognised in the statements of financial position and 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.
Fair value of an asset or a liability, except for lease transactions, is determined as the price that would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. The measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer
the liability takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most
advantageous market.
For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market participant’s ability to
generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market
participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as
possible. Fair value are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the input used in
the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can
access at the measurement date.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly.
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date of the event or
change in circumstances that caused the transfers.

At the end of the financial year, the net carrying amount of motor vehicles under hire purchase financing is
RM81,600 (2020: RM122,400).
3.2 Security
Certain motor vehicles are charged to secure the hire purchase financing of the Group (see Note 14.1).
The buildings of the Group are charged to secure banking facilities granted to certain Group entities. In
addition, a debenture incorporating fixed and floating charges has been created over all assets (including
property, plant and equipment and right-of-use-assets of certain Group entities to secure the banking
facilities granted thereto (see Note 14.1).
A specific debenture and power of attorney has been created over machineries classified as assets under
construction with carrying amount of RM11,788,923 (2020: RM NIL) to secure the banking facilities granted
to a subsidiary (see Note 14.1).
During the financial year under review, the Group has estimated whether the property, plant and equipment
are stated in excess of their recoverable amounts, an exercise that entails by virtue of the current economic
condition, a significant degree of estimation uncertainty and judgment. The Group has applied fair value
less cost to sell method in estimating the recoverable amount of the buildings and value in use method in
estimating the manufacturing facilities of the Group. The value in use (discounted cash flow) was derived
based on the following key assumptions:
(a) Cash flows were projected based on average selling price, sales volume and average unit cost by
considering the accuracy of the Group’s past forecasts, current and future industry situation.
(b) A pre-tax discount rate of 6.20% was applied in discounting the projected cash flows to its net present
value.
The Group has concluded since the estimated recoverable amount of the property, plant and equipment
is higher than its carrying amount, no impairment is necessary.

The main collectability risk of trade receivables is customer insolvencies. Management determines allowance
for impairment losses on doubtful receivables based on an on-going review and evaluation performed as
part of its credit risk evaluation process. These include assessment of customers’ past payment records,
financial standing and the age of receivables. The evaluation is however inherently judgemental and requires
material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received, which
may be susceptible to significant changes.

The Group has two reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s strategic business units. The
strategic business units offer similar products and services, but are managed separately because they require
different marketing strategies. For each of the strategic business units, the Group’s Executive Chairman (the
chief operating decision maker) reviews internal management reports at least on a quarterly basis. The following
summary describes the operations in each of the Group’s reportable segments:
There are varying levels of integration between Manufacturing reportable segments and Marketing reportable
segments. This integration includes transfers of manufactured inventories. Inter-segment pricing is determined
on negotiated basis.
76 ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021
Other non-reportable segment comprises operations related to investment holding and dormant entity.
Performance is measured based on segment profit before tax, interest, depreciation and amortisation, as included
in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Group’s Executive Chairman. Segment profit is used
to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the
results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.
Segment assets, liabilities and capital expenditure information are neither included in the internal management
reports nor provided regularly to the Group’s Executive Chairman. Hence, no disclosure is made.

Net (losses)/gains on:
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk
• Market risk
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument
fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from
its receivables from customers. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from loans
and advances to subsidiaries and financial guarantees given to banks for credit facilities granted to
a subsidiary.
Trade receivables
(i) Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an
ongoing basis. Normally financial guarantees given by banks, shareholders or directors of
customers are obtained, and credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit
over a certain amount.
At each reporting date, the Group or the Company assesses whether any of the trade receivables
and contract assets are credit impaired.
The gross carrying amounts of credit impaired trade receivables are written off (either partially or
full) when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group or
the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could
generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. Nevertheless, trade
receivables that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities.
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from trade
receivables and contract assets are represented by the carrying amounts in the statements of
financial position.
As at the end of the reporting period, other than the amounts stated below, there were no significant
concentrations of credit risk.

Group
2021 2020
RM RM
The Group uses an allowance matrix to measure ECLs of trade receivables. Consistent with
the debt recovery process, invoices which are past due 365 days will be considered as credit
impaired.
Loss rates are calculated using a ‘roll rate’ method based on the probability of a receivable
progressing through successive stages of delinquency to 90 days past due.
Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience over the past three years. The Group also
considers differences between (a) economic conditions during the period over which the historic
data has been collected, (b) current conditions and (c) the Group’s view of economic conditions
over the expected lives of the receivables. Nevertheless, the Group believes that these factors
are immaterial for the purpose of impairment calculation for the year.
The table in ensuing page provides information about the exposure to credit risk and ECLs for
trade receivables.

The cash and cash equivalents are held with banks and financial institutions. As at the end of the
reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying amounts in the
statement of financial position.
These banks and financial institutions have low credit risks. In addition, some of the bank balances
are insured by government agencies. Consequently, the Group and the Company are of the view that
the loss allowance is not material and hence, it is not provided for.
Financial guarantees
(i) Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Company provides unsecured financial guarantees to banks in respect of banking facilities
granted to a subsidiary. The Company monitors on an ongoing basis the results of the subsidiary
and repayments made by the subsidiary.
Financial guarantees (continued)
The Company assumes that there is a significant increase in credit risk when a subsidiary’s
financial position deteriorates significantly. The Company considers a financial guarantee to be
credit impaired when:
• The subsidiary is unlikely to repay its credit obligation to the bank in full; or
• The subsidiary is continuously loss making and is having a deficit shareholders’ fund.
The Company determines the probability of default of the guaranteed loans individually using
internal information available.
As at the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that the subsidiary would default
on payment.
(i) Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Company provides unsecured loans and advances to subsidiaries. The Company monitors
the results of the subsidiaries regularly.
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by

The credit risk as at the end of reporting period is concentrated to the following:

Generally, the Company considers loans and advances to subsidiaries have low credit risk. The Company assumes that there is a significant
increase in credit risk when a subsidiary’s financial position deteriorates significantly. As the Company is able to determine the timing of
payments of the subsidiaries’ loans and advances when they are payable, the Company considers the loans and advances to be in default
ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W )
when the subsidiaries are not able to pay when demanded. The Company considers a subsidiary’s loan or advance to be credit impaired
when:
• The subsidiary is unlikely to pay its loan or advance to the Company in full;
• The subsidiary’s loan or advance is overdue for more than 365 days; or
Annual Report 2021
• The subsidiary is continuously loss making and is having a deficit shareholders’ fund.
The Company determines the probability of default for these loans and advances individually using internal information available.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises principally from its various payables, loans and borrowings.
The Group maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents and bank facilities deemed adequate by
the management to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities
when they fall due.
It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier,
or at significantly different amounts.

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates
and other prices that will affect the Group’s financial position or cash flows.
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales, purchases, bank balances and borrowings
that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of Group entities. The currencies
giving rise to this risk are primarily United States Dollar (“USD”) and Singapore Dollars (“SGD”).
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Group keeps two foreign currency bank accounts (denominated in USD and SGD) into which
certain sales proceeds are deposited and from which payments denominated in these currencies are
made to minimise its exposure to foreign exchange risk.
As for other monetary assets and liabilities held in a currency other than the functional currency, the
Group ensures that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level.

The Group’s fixed rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes
in interest rates. The Group’s variable rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows
due to changes in interest rates. Short-term receivables and payables are not significantly exposed
to interest rate risk. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises principally from loans and
advances to a subsidiary.
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Group monitors its exposure to changes in interest rates on a regular basis. Borrowings are
negotiated with a view to securing the best possible terms, including rate of interest, to the Group and
when deemed appropriate, obtained on a fixed rate basis. The Company adopts a policy of ensuring
that its exposure to changes in interest rates on loans and advances to the subsidiary is on a fixed
rate basis.

or loss, and the Group does not designate derivatives as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge
accounting model. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would not
affect profit or loss.

and is therefore not exposed to any other price risk.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term receivables and payables and short-term
borrowings reasonably approximate their fair values due to the relatively short term nature of these financial
instruments.

The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to maintain a strong capital base and safeguard the Group’s

future development of the business. The Directors monitor the debts closely and are determined to maintain an
optimal debt-to-equity ratio that complies with debt covenants and regulatory requirements.
During the year, the Group’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2020 was to maintain the debt-to-equity ratio

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of ABM Fujiya Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial position as
at 31 December 2021 of the Group and of the Company, and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year
then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as set out
on pages 40 to 93.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group
and of the Company as at 31 December 2021, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then
ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and
the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.
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 auditors’ report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
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’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence
Standards) (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and
the IESBA Code.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current year. These matters were addressed in the context
of our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report Thereon
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements of the Group and of the Company and our
auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover the annual report and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, our responsibility is to read
the annual report and, in doing so, consider whether the annual report is materially inconsistent with the financial
statements of the Group and of the Company or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of
the annual report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of 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 ability of the Group and of the Company to continue as 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.
100 ABM Fujiya Berhad Registration No. 200301025904 (628324-W ) Annual Report 2021
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:
• 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.
• 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
internal control of the Group and of the Company.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the Directors.
• 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 ability of the Group or of the Company 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.
• 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 gives a true and fair view.
• 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.
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, actions taken to esliminate threats or safeguards applied.

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members
of ABM Fujiya Berhad (Incorporated in Malaysia) (continued)
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 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
auditors’ report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.
Other Matter
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.
