Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. Because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraphs, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

As disclosed in Note X to the financial statements on Basis of Preparation, the Company has defaulted on the repayment of bank borrowings amounting to RMXXX,XXX,XXX which was due for payment on day/month/year and the solicitors representing the financier of the borrowings issued a notice of demand to the Company for full settlement of the outstanding borrowings and interests due as at day/month/year. At the date of this report, the Receiver and Manager appointed is  assessing a number of proposals in respect of the borrowings but no decision has been made. We could not obtain sufficient appropriate evidence on the following:

(a)           the appropriateness of the use of the going concern assumption in the preparation of the financial statements. As disclosed in Note X to the financial statements. The default of the borrowings and the relevant events occurred subsequently together with the lack of clear evidence to support the ability of the Group and of the Company to meet the repayment of the borrowings and the interest thereon have casted significant doubt on the Group and the Company’s ability to continue in operations and therefore the Group and the Company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business;

(b)           the recoverability of the carrying value of the property, plant and equipment of the Group amounting to RMXXX,XXX,XXX, as disclosed in Note X to the financial statements; and

Note On Goodwill

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the subsidiary which represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purpose.

During the financial year, the Group has recognised impairment loss on goodwill on consolidation of RM30,000 (2008 – Nil) due to the deterioration of the financial position and financial performance of a subsidiary in property development segment.

The balance of the goodwill on consolidation of RM500,000 (2008 – RM530,000) is related to the manufacturing segment and the recoverable amount is determined based on the value-in-use calculations. The calculations performed are based on the pre-tax cash flow projections derived from financial budgets approved by the Directors covering the coming 5 financial years. This method of calculations is consistent with that adopted in the previous financial year. The key assumptions used in the calculations are as follows:-

(a) Sales growth rate of 10% for the first two financial years from the 2010 budget, which is the base year for the cash flows projections, and 12% for the subsequent financial years.

(b) Discount rate of 10%, being the estimated weighted average cost of capital of the Company.

(c) Terminal value representing the projected carrying amount of the net assets of the manufacturing segment as at the end of Year 5.

The Directors determined budgeted gross margin and results based on past performance and its expectations of market development. The discount rate used are pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments. Based on the recoverable amount determined, goodwill on consolidation related to the manufacturing segment is not impaired for the current financial year. With regard to the assessment of value in use, the Directors believe that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the unit to be materially different from its recoverable amount.
