KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

Report of the directors

DIRECTORS BENEFITS
Since the end of the previous financial year, no Director of the Company has received nor become entitled to receive any
benefit (other than a benefit included in the aggregate amount of emoluments received or due and receivable by Directors
shown in the Group's financial statements or the fixed salary of a full time employee of the Company) by reason of a
contract made by the Company or a related corporation with the Director or with a firm of which the Director is a member,
or with a company in which the Director has a substantial financial interest, except for any deemed benefits that may
accrue to certain Directors by virtue of normal trading transactions by the Group and the Company with related parties as
disclosed under Note 37 on the financial statements.
There were no arrangements during and at the end of the financial year which had the object of enabling Directors of the
Company to acquire benefits by means of the acquisition of shares of the Company or any other body corporate.
OPTIONS GRANTED OVER UNISSUED SHARES
No options were granted to any person to take up unissued shares of the Company during the financial year.
OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION
Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps to
ascertain that:
(i)

all known bad debts have been written off and adequate provision made for doubtful debts; and

(ii)

any current assets which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business have been written down to an
amount which they might be expected so to realise.

At the date of this report, the Directors of the Company are not aware of any circumstances:
(i)

that would render the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the Group
and Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or

(ii)

that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company misleading; or

(iii)

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

(iv) 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)

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; or

(ii)

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

No contingent liability or other liability of any company in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely to become
enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will
or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and of the Company to meet their obligations as and when they fall due
except as disclosed in Note 40 on the financial statements.
In the opinion of the Directors, the financial performance of the Group and of the Company for the financial year ended 30
September 2014 have not been substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature
nor have any such item, transaction or event occurred in the interval between the end of that financial year and the date of
this report.

The Group plans to apply the amendments to FRS 119 retrospective from the annual period beginning
on 1 October 2014, and is currently assessing the financial impact that may arise from the initial
application of the amendments.
(ii) FRS 9 Financial Instruments
FRS 9 replaces the guidance in FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement on the
classification and measurement of financial assets. Upon adoption of FRS 9, financial assets will be
measured at either fair value or amortised cost.
The adoption of FRS 9 will result in a change in accounting policy. The Group is currently assessing
the financial impact that may arise from the adoption of FRS 9.
In November 2011, MASB published the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards ("MFRS") Framework
applicable to all non-private entities with effect from 1 January 2012, with the exception of entities that are
within the scope of MFRS 141 Agriculture and IC Interpretation 15 Agreements for Construction of Real
Estate, including their parents, significant investors and venturers (herein referred as "Transitioning
Entities"). However, MASB subsequently deferred the effective date of MFRS Framework for Transitioning
Entities to 1 January 2017. Therefore, the Group as a Transitioning Entity will apply the MFRS Framework
for the annual period beginning on 1 October 2017. In relation to this, the FRS and amendments to FRS
which are effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2018 will not be applicable to the
Group.

Use of estimates and judgements


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRSs 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 on-going 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

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Summarised below are the significant accounting policies of the Group.
consistent with those applied in previous years, unless otherwise stated.
3.1

The accounting policies applied are

Basis of consolidation
(a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities, including structured entities, controlled by the Group. 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 adopted FRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements in the current financial year. This resulted
in changes to the following policies:

Control exists when the Group 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. In the previous
financial years, 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.

Potential voting rights are considered when assessing control only when such rights are substantive.
In the previous financial years, potential voting rights are considered when assessing control when
such rights are presently exercisable.

The Group 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. In the previous financial years, the Group did not consider de facto power in its
assessment of control.

The adoption of FRS 10 has no significant impact to the financial statements of the Group.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the Company's statement of financial position at cost less any
impairment losses, unless the investment is held for sale or distribution. The cost of investments includes
transaction costs.
(b)

Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method from the acquisition date, which is
the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
For new acquisitions, the Group measures the cost of goodwill at the acquisition date as:

the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus

the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus

if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the
acquiree; less

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed.

When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group
incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interests in the
acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets at the
acquisition date.
(c)

Acquisitions of non-controlling interests


The Group treats all changes in its ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control
as equity transactions between the Group and its non-controlling interest holders. Any difference between
the Group's share of net assets before and after the change, and any consideration received or paid, is
adjusted to or against Group reserves.

(d) Goodwill
Goodwill arises on business combinations is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently when there is objective evidence of
impairment.
In respect of equity accounted associates, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying
amount of the investment and an impairment loss on such an investment is not allocated to any asset,
including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the equity accounted associates.
(e) Loss of control
Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the former
subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the former
subsidiary from the consolidated statement of financial position. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss
of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the former subsidiary, then
such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as
an equity accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence
retained.
(f)

Associates
Associates are entities, including unincorporated entities, in which the Group has significant influence, but
not control, over the financial and operating policies.
Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity
method less any impairment losses, unless it is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of the
investment includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements include the Groups share of
the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the 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.
The Groups share of post-acquisition results and reserves of associates is included in the consolidated
financial statements and is based on the latest audited and published interim reports in respect of listed
companies and latest audited financial statements and unaudited management financial statements in
respect of unlisted companies.
When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of that interest
including any long term investments is reduced to zero, 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
associate.
When the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate, any retained interest in the former
associate at the date when significant influence is lost is measured at fair value and this amount is
regarded as the initial carrying amount of a financial asset. The difference between the fair value of any
retained interest plus proceeds from the interest disposed of and the carrying amount of the investment at
the date when equity method is discontinued is recognised in profit or loss.

85

86

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

When the Group's interest in an associate decreases but does not result in a loss of significant influence,
any retained interest is not re-measured. Any gain or loss arising from the decrease in interest is
recognised in profit or loss. Any gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are
also reclassified proportionately to profit or loss if that gain or loss would be required to be reclassified to
profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities.
Investments in associates 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
investments includes transaction costs.
(g) Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable
directly or indirectly to the equity holders of the Company, are presented in the consolidated statement of
financial position and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to
the owners of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group are presented in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or
loss and the comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and the owners of the
Company.
Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling
interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.
(h) 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 associates are eliminated against the investment to the
extent of the Group's interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as
unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
3.2

Foreign currency
(a) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currency of the Group entities
at exchange rates at the dates of 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 rates at that date. Non-monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of the reporting period, except
for those that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rates
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 available-for-sale equity instruments which are recognised in other
comprehensive income.
(b)

Operations denominated in functional currencies other than RM


The assets and liabilities of operations denominated in functional currencies other than RM, including
goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the
end of the reporting period, except for goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from business
combinations before 1 October 2006 which are reported using the exchange rates at the dates of
acquisitions. The income and expenses of the foreign operations are translated to RM at the average
exchange rates for the year.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the
Exchange Fluctuation Reserve in equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary, then
the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control or significant influence is lost, the cumulative
amount in the Exchange Fluctuation Reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss
as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the
relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group
disposes of only part of its investment in an associate that includes a foreign operation while retaining
significant influence, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

In the consolidated financial statements, when settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to
a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and
losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign
operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the Exchange
Fluctuation Reserve in equity.

Property, plant and equipment


Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortisation 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, borrowing costs are capitalised in
accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs. 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 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 knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's 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 available and replacement
cost when appropriate.
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, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced parts 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.
Leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease is classified as property, plant and equipment.
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. Freehold land is not depreciated. Leasehold land is
amortised over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will
obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Property, plant and equipment under construction are not
depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use.

87

88

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

The principal depreciation/amortisation rates for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Long term leasehold land
Palm oil mill machinery
Plant and machinery
Motor vehicles
Furniture, fittings and equipment
Buildings, factories and mills
Employees quarters
Effluent ponds, roads and bridges

Over the lease period ranging from 62 to 931 years


10% per annum
4% to 33% per annum
10% to 50% per annum
5% to 33% per annum
2% to 25% per annum
10% per annum
5% to 10% per annum

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at end of the reporting period and adjusted
as appropriate.
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 operating income" or "other operating expenses" respectively in profit or loss.
3.4

Leases
(a) Operating leases
Leases are classified as operating leases when the Group does not assume substantially all the risks and
rewards of the ownership and the leased assets are not recognised on the statement of financial position.
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the
term of the lease.
(b) Prepaid lease payments
Leasehold land which in substance is an operating lease is classified as prepaid lease payments which are
amortised over the lease period ranging from 18 to 90 years.

3.5

Biological assets
(a) Plantation development expenditure
New planting expenditure incurred on land clearing and upkeep of trees to maturity is capitalised as
plantation development expenditure under biological assets. Plantation development expenditure is not
amortised except for those short land leases held in Indonesia where the plantation development
expenditure is amortised using the straight line method over the estimated productive years of 20 years.
(b) Growing crops and livestock
Growing crops are measured at fair value which is based on the costs incurred to the end of the reporting
period for these crops. As at the end of the reporting period, the yield of the crops and the future economic
benefits which will flow from the crops are not able to be reliably measured due to the level of growth.
Livestock is measured at fair value less point-of-sale cost, with any change therein recognised in profit or
loss. Fair value is based on the market price of livestock of similar age, breed and genetic make-up.
Point-of-sale costs include all costs that would be necessary to sell the livestock.

3.6

Replanting expenditure
Replanting expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

3.7

Property development
(a) Land held for property development
Land held for property development shall be classified as non-current asset where no development
activites have been carried out or where development activities are not expected to be completed within
the normal operating cycle.
The change in the classification of land held for property development to current assets shall be at the
point when development activities have commenced and where it can be demonstrated that the
development activities can be completed within the normal operating cycle.
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.
(b)

Property development costs


Property development costs comprise costs associated with the acquisition of land and all costs that are
directly attributable to development activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such
activities.
Property development costs are stated in the statement of financial position at the lower of cost and net
realisable value.

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

The excess of revenue recognised in profit or loss over billings to purchasers is shown as accrued billings
and the excess of billings to purchasers over revenue recognised in profit or loss is shown as progress
billings.
3.8

Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets are recognised initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value
through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets.
The Group categorises financial assets as follows:
(a)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss


Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial assets that are held for trading, including
derivatives (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective
hedging instrument) or financial assets that are specifically designated into this category upon initial
recognition.
Financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair
values with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

(b)

Loans and receivables


Loans and receivables category comprises debt instruments that are not quoted in an active market.
Financial assets categorised as loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method.

(c)

Available-for-sale financial assets


Available-for-sale category comprises investments in equity and debt securities instruments that are not
held for trading.
Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose
fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost. Other financial assets categorised as
available-for-sale are subsequently measured at their fair values with the gain or loss recognised in other
comprehensive income, except for impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from
monetary items are recognised in profit or loss. On derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss recognised
in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity into profit or loss. Interest calculated for a debt
instrument using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss.

All financial assets, except for those measured at fair value through profit or loss, are subject to review for
impairment.
A regular way purchase or sale of a financial asset is a purchase or sale of the financial asset under a contract
whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or
convention in the market place concerned.
A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using trade
date accounting. 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.

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 the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or
substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between
the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new
liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in profit or
loss.
3.9

Embedded Derivatives
An embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if,
and only if, it is not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the host
contract is not categorised as 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.

89

90

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

3.10 Intangible assets


These assets consist mainly of trade marks and patent which are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation
and any accumulated impairment losses. These are amortised over the following expected useful lives of the
assets:
Trade marks - 5 years
Patent
- 10 to 20 years
Subsequent expenditure on capitalised intangible assets is capitalised only when it increases the future
economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as
incurred.
3.11 Assets held for sale
Non-current 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 Group's 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 is first 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,
employee benefit assets and investment properties, which continue to be measured in accordance with the
Group's accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or
losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative
impairment loss.
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment once classified as held for sale are not amortised or
depreciated. In addition, equity accounting of equity accounted associates ceases once classified as held for
sale.
3.12 Inventories
Inventories of produce are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes cost of
materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable production overheads, where
applicable, and is determined on a weighted average basis.
Stores and materials are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes cost of purchase
plus incidentals in bringing the inventories into store and is determined on the weighted average basis.
Inventories of completed development properties are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost
consists of costs associated with the acquisition of land, direct costs and appropriate proportions of common
costs attributable to developing the properties to completion.
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.
3.13 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand, balances and deposits with banks and short term funds
which are readily convertible to cash and have an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the
statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts.
3.14 Impairment
(a) Financial assets
All financial assets (except for financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss, investment in
subsidiaries and investment in associates) are assessed at each reporting date whether there is any
objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated
future cash flows of the asset. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not
recognised. For an investment in an equity instrument, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value
below its cost is an objective evidence of impairment. If any such objective evidence exists, then the
impairment loss of the financial asset is estimated.
An impairment loss in respect of loans and receivables is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as
the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows
discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced
through the use of an allowance account.

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

An impairment loss in respect of available-for-sale financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and is
measured as the difference between the asset's acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and
amortisation) and the asset's current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised. Where a
decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised in other comprehensive
income, the cumulative loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
An impairment loss in respect of unquoted equity instrument that is carried at cost is recognised in profit
or loss and is measured as the difference between the financial asset's carrying amount and the present
value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial
asset.
Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classified as
available-for-sale is not reversed through profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively
related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss
is reversed, to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount
would have been had the impairment not be recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The
amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
(b)

Other assets
The carrying amounts of other assets, other than inventories, biological assets and deferred tax assets, 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 goodwill and intangible
assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is
estimated each period at the same time.
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 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 cashgenerating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cashgenerating 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.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, 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 year in
which the reversals are recognised.

3.15 Financial liabilities


Financial liabilities are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value
through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial liabilities.
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost other than those categorised as fair value
through profit or loss.

91

92

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are derivatives (except for a
derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument) or financial
liabilities that are specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition.
Financial liabilities categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair values
with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse
the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with
the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.
Fair value arising from financial guarantee contracts are classified as deferred income and is amortised to profit
or loss using a straight line method over the contractual period or, when there is no specified contractual
period, recognised in profit or loss upon discharge of the guarantee. When settlement of a financial guarantee
contract becomes probable, an estimate of the obligation is made. If the carrying value of the financial
guarantee contract is lower than the obligation, the carrying value is adjusted to the obligation amount and
accounted for as a provision.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is
discharged or 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.
3.16 Income tax
Income 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.
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 liabilities and assets 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 and investment tax allowance, being tax incentive 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.
3.17 Employee benefits
(a) Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as
incurred. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group or the Company has no further payment
obligations.
(b)

Unfunded defined benefit plan


(i) The Group and the Company provide for retirement benefits for eligible employees in Malaysia on
unfunded defined benefit basis in accordance with the terms of the unions' collective agreements. Full
provision has been made for retirement benefits payable to all eligible employees based on the last
drawn salaries at the end of the reporting period, the length of service to-date and the rates set out in
the said agreements.

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

The present value of these unfunded defined benefit obligations as required by FRS 119 Employee
Benefits has not been used in arriving at the provision, as the amount involved is insignificant to the
Group and the Company. Accordingly, no further disclosure as required by the standard is made.
(ii) Subsidiaries in Indonesia provide for retirement benefits for eligible employees on unfunded defined
benefit basis in accordance with the Labour Law in Indonesia. Full provision has been made using the
actuarial method for retirement benefits payable to all eligible employees based on the last drawn
salaries at the end of the reporting period, the length of service and the rates in accordance with the
local labour law.
(iii) A subsidiary in Germany provides for retirement benefits for its eligible employees on unfunded
defined benefit basis. The obligations of the defined benefit plans are determined annually by an
independent qualified actuary. The discount rate is determined using the yield of first class corporate
bonds at the valuation date and in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.
Service and interest cost are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Actuarial gains and losses are
recognised in other comprehensive income.
(c)

Funded defined benefit plan


A subsidiary in Switzerland operates a funded defined benefit pension scheme for employees. The assets
of the scheme are held separately from those of the subsidiary.
The calculation of the funded defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using
the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the
recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future
refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of
economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return
on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are
recognised immediately in other comprehensive income. The Group determines the net interest expense
or income on the net defined liability or asset for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure
the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then net defined benefit liability
or asset, taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability or asset during the period as a
result of contributions and benefit payments.
Net interest expense and other expenses relating to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that
relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The
Group recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

(d)

Short term 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.

3.18 Equity instruments


Instruments classified as equity are measured at cost on initial recognition and are not remeasured
subsequently.
(a)

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

(b)

Treasury shares
When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including
directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased
shares that are not subsequently cancelled are classified as treasury shares in the statement of changes in
equity.

3.19 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 not recognised in the statements of financial position but 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.

notes on the financial statements

3.20 Related parties


For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related to the Group if the Group
has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making
financial and operating decisions or vice-versa, or where the Group and the party are subject to common
control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or entities.
3.21 Revenue
(a) Goods sold
Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at fair value of the
consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and returns. Revenue is recognised when
persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks
and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, 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, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount
is recognised as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognised.
(b)

Services
Revenue from services rendered is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of
performance of services at the end of the reporting period.

(c)

Property development
Revenue from property development activities is recognised based on the stage of completion measured
by reference to the proportion that property development costs incurred for work performed to-date bear
to the estimated total property development costs.
Where the financial outcome of a property development activity cannot be reliably estimated, property
development revenue is recognised only to the extent of property development costs incurred that is
probable will be recoverable, and property development costs on the development units sold are
recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Any expected loss on a development project, including costs to be incurred over the defects liability
period, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

(d)

Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Group's or the Company's right to
receive payment is established.

(e)

Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method in profit or loss except for
interest income arising from temporary investment of borrowings taken specifically for the purpose of
obtaining a qualifying asset which is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing
costs.

(f)

Government grants
Government grants are recognised initially as deferred income at fair value when there is reasonable
assurance that they will be received and the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the
grant, they are then recognised in profit or loss as other operating income on a systematic basis over the
useful life of the asset.
Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss as other
operating income on systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are recognised.

In the case of the Group, revenue comprises sales to third parties only.
3.22 Research and development expenditure
All general research and development expenditure is charged to profit or loss in the year in which the
expenditure is incurred.
3.23 Borrowing costs
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.

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

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.
3.24 Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business that represents a separate major line of
business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale or distribution, or is a
subsidiary acquired exclusively with the view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon
disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation
is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.
3.25 Earnings per share
The Group presents basic earnings per share data for its shares.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the equity holders of the
Company by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year.
3.26 Operating segments
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenue and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the
Group's other components. All 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 to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial
information is available.
3.27 Fair value measurements
From 1 October 2013, the Group adopted FRS 13 Fair Value Measurement which prescribes that fair value of an
asset or a liability, except for share-based payment and 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.
In accordance with the transitional provision of FRS 13, the Group applied the new fair value measurement
guidance prospectively, and has not provided any comparative fair value information for new disclosures. The
adoption of FRS 13 has not significantly affected the measurements of the Group's assets or liabilities other
than the additional disclosures.

Impairment testing
Property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the recoverable amount of
the cash-generating unit ("CGU"). The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations
using cash flow projections from the financial budgets and forecasts approved by management covering a period ranging
from five years to eleven years.
Key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations are:
(i)

the pre-tax discount rates which are the weighted average cost of capital used ranged from 7.0% to 12.4% (2013:
6.5% to 8.1%);

(ii)

the growth rate used for the plantation companies is determined based on the management's estimate of commodity
prices, palm yields, oil extraction rates as well as cost of productions whilst growth rates of companies in other
segments are determined based on the industry trends and past performances of the respective companies; and

(iii)

profit margins are projected based on historical profit margin achieved.

In assessing the value-in-use, the management is of the view that no foreseeable changes in any of the above key
assumptions would cause the carrying amounts of the respective CGUs to materially exceed their recoverable amounts.

notes on the financial statements

Freehold land belonging to an overseas subsidiary was revalued by the Directors based on existing use and has been
incorporated in the financial statements on 30 September 1989. Building of a subsidiary had been revalued by the
Directors on 28 February 1966.
The Group has availed itself to the transitional provision when the MASB first issued FRS 1162004 Property, Plant and
Equipment in 2000, and accordingly, the carrying amounts of these revalued property, plant and equipment have been
retained on the basis of these valuations as though they have never been revalued. The carrying amounts of revalued
property, plant and equipment, had these assets been carried at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortisation
were as follows:

notes on the financial statements

The impairment loss of the Group during the year amounting to RM19,760,000 is in respect of 38,350 hectares of land
held under Special Agricultural & Business Lease ("SABL") in Papua New Guinea ("PNG").
In December 2013, an interim injunction was obtained in the PNG National Court, against PNG Government and the
customary owners, restraining the entry or conduct of any activities on this land. PNG Government had chosen not to
defend the suit and had entered into a Consent Order resulting in the SABL over the leasehold land being quashed.
The Group complies with the terms of the Consent Order and accordingly the carrying amount of this land amounting
to RM19,760,000 (2013: Nil) is impaired and included in other operating expenses.
The Memorandum of Transfer of a long term leasehold land in favour of a subsidiary, KLK Bioenergy Sdn Bhd with
carrying amount of RM3,063,000 (2013: RM3,114,000), was presented for registration at the relevant land registry.
This matter is now pending issuance of the original document of the title from the said relevant land registry.
The title deed of a long term leasehold land with carrying amount of RM20,459,000 (2013: RM20,739,000) belonging
to another subsidiary, Palm-Oleo (Klang) Sdn Bhd, is with the relevant authorities and is in the process of being
registered in the name of the subsidiary.
A short term leasehold land of the Group and of the Company was revalued by the Directors on 1 October 1980
based on an opinion of value, using the "Investment Method Approach", by a professional firm of Chartered Surveyors
on 22 November 1979.
The Group has retained the unamortised revalued amount as the surrogate carrying amount of prepaid lease
payments in accordance with the transitional provision in FRS 117.67A when it first adopted FRS 117 Leases in 2006.
Impairment testing
Impairment testing on prepaid lease payments is similar to that of property, plant and equipment as disclosed in Note
12.
The details of the prepaid lease payments of the Group are shown on pages 154 to 159.

The biological assets of the Group and of the Company stated at valuation, previously included in property, plant and
equipment, were revalued by the Directors based on independent professional valuations carried out between 1979
and 1991 on the open market value basis. These valuations were for special purposes. It has never been the Group's
policy to carry out regular revaluation of its property, plant and equipment.

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

The Group has availed itself to the transitional provision when the MASB first issued FRS 1162004 Property, Plant and
Equipment in 2000, and accordingly, the carrying amounts of these revalued biological assets have been retained on
the basis of these valuations as though they have never been revalued. The carrying amounts of revalued biological
assets of the Group and of the Company, had these assets been carried at cost less accumulated amortisation were
RM112,743,000 (2013: RM112,886,000) and RM76,753,000 (2013: RM76,896,000) respectively.

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable
profits will be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits therefrom.
Deferred tax liabilities have not been provided by a subsidiary on the taxable temporary differences as the subsidiary
is unable to estimate reliably the commencement period of its pioneer status due to current market volatility which
renders the achievability of future statutory income uncertain.
The Group has tax losses carried forward of RM664,312,000 (2013: RM610,907,000) which give rise to the recognised
and unrecognised deferred tax assets in respect of unutilised tax losses above, which are subject to agreement by the

Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthy debtors with good payment records with the
Group and the Company.
None of the trade receivables of the Group or the Company that are neither past due nor impaired have been
renegotiated during the financial year.
The allowance account in respect of trade receivables is used to record impairment losses. Unless the Group is
satisfied that the recovery of the amount is possible, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against the
receivable directly.
The Group's normal trade credit term ranges from 7 to 120 (2013: 7 to 120) days. Other credit terms are assessed
and approved on a case-by-case basis.

Defined benefit obligations


(i) The Group's plantation operations operate defined benefit plans in Malaysia and Indonesia based on the terms of
the union's collective agreements in Malaysia and the labour law in Indonesia. These retirement benefit plans are
unfunded. The benefits payable on retirement are based on the last drawn salaries, the length of service and the
rates set out in the union's collective agreements in Malaysia and the Labour Law in Indonesia.
The present value of these unfunded defined benefit obligations as required by FRS 119 Employee Benefits has
not been used in arriving at the provision as the amount involved is insignificant to the Group and the Company.
Accordingly, no further disclosures as required by the standard is made.

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

(ii) A subsidiary in Germany, KLK Emmerich GmbH, operates an unfunded retirement benefit plan for its eligible
employees. The obligations of the retirement benefit plan are determined by an independent qualified actuary.
The last actuarial valuation was on 30 September 2014.
(iii) A subsidiary in Switzerland, Kolb Distribution Ltd, makes contributions to a funded defined benefit plan that
provides pension benefits for employees upon retirement. The assets of the plan are held as a segregated fund
and administered by trustees.
This funded defined benefit obligation is determined by an independent qualified actuary on an annual basis. The
last actuarial valuation was on 30 June 2014 and was subsequently updated to take into consideration of the
requirements of FRS 119 in order to assess liabilities of the plan as at 30 September 2014. The plan assets are
stated at their market value as at 30 September 2014.
(iv) A subsidiary in England, Standard Soap Company Ltd ("Standard Soap"), operated a defined benefit plan that
provided pension benefits for employees upon retirement.
Following the cessation of operations during the financial year ended 30 September 2013, the directors of
Standard Soap had decided to liquidate the company and to settle the pension liabilities. Subsequently, Standard
Soap entered into a Company Voluntary Arrangement ("CVA") with the United Kingdom Pensions Regulator on 18
June 2013. A CVA is an insolvency procedure under the United Kingdom company law whereby a company can
come to an agreement with its creditors to settle the outstanding amounts at an agreed recovery rate and
timeline.
Under the terms of the CVA, the full and final settlement of the pension liabilities were estimated at RM5,225,000
with the Pensions Regulator. Accordingly, the pension liabilities had been revalued and stated at RM5,225,000
under other payables as at 30 September 2013 (Note 36). The pension liabilities were fully settled during the
financial year ended 30 September 2014.
The defined benefit plans expose the Group to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk
and market (investment) risk.
These defined benefit plans are fully funded by the Group.
The Group expects RM5,434,000 in contribution to be paid to the defined benefit plans in the next financial year.

Acquisitions of subsidiaries
(i)
On 11 November 2013, the Group completed the acquisitions of the following:
- 50.0% equity interest in Liberian Palm Developments Ltd ("LPD") for a cash consideration equivalent to
RM56,227,000; and
- 20.1% equity interest in Equatorial Palm Oil Plc ("EPO") for a cash consideration equivalent to RM10,494,000.
LPD is a company incorporated in Mauritius and is engaged in the oil palm plantations business in Liberia West
Africa through its subsidiaries.
EPO is a company listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange and is engaged in
the business of oil palm plantations in Liberia via its 50.0% equity interest in LPD.
On date of acquisition, the Group's effective ownership interest and voting interest in EPO and LPD were 20.1%
and 60.1% respectively. Subsequently, the Group had increased its effective ownership interest and voting
interest in EPO and LPD to 62.9% and 81.5% respectively. Both EPO and LPD are recognised as subsidiaries
of the Group as at 30 September 2014.
The acquisitions of shares in EPO and LPD are in line with the Company's strategy to expand its plantation
landbank outside Malaysia and Indonesia, for geographical diversification into the West African region where
there is a net deficit of edible oils. LPD's concession land is also agronomically suitable and located within 50
km of deep water ports.
The recognised amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition were:

The Group incurred acquisition-related costs of RM1.973 million related to external legal fees and due diligence
costs which have been included in other operating expenses in profit or loss.
In the 11 months to 30 September 2014, the subsidiaries contributed revenue of RM1.575 million and loss of
RM21.947 million. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 October 2013, management estimates that consolidated
revenue would have been RM11.130 billion and consolidated profit for the financial year would have been
RM1.031 billion.
On 26 November 2013, EPO had issued 153,817,648 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("the Subscription
Shares") under its existing share capital authorities. The Group, being a significant shareholder of EPO, had
subscribed for the Subscription Shares for a total consideration of RM40.310 million ("the Subscription") in order
to consolidate its control of both EPO and LPD.

127

128

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

Following the completion of the Subscription, the Group held 54.8% of EPO's enlarged issued share capital and
the Group's effective interest in LPD was 77.4%.
As the Group's interest in EPO increased to 54.8%, the Group has made a mandatory cash offer to acquire all of
the shares in EPO that it did not already own, at a price of 5 pence per ordinary share pursuant to Rule 9.1 of the
United Kingdom City Code on Takeover and Mergers. The Group received valid acceptances in all respects of
29,881,063 EPO shares representing 8.4% of the issued share capital of EPO. After the completion of the
mandatory cash offer, the Group's shareholding in EPO increased to 63.2% and its effective interest in LPD
increased to 81.6%.
On 23 April 2014, EPO issued 1.95 million new ordinary shares to non-controlling interests, reducing the Group's
effective ownership interest in EPO from 63.2% to 62.9% and its effective ownership interest in LPD reduced
from 81.6% to 81.5%.
The carrying amount of the net assets of EPO and LPD after the Subscription, mandatory cash offer and
issuance of shares to non-controlling interests was RM195,734,000. The Group recognised a decrease in noncontrolling interests of RM24,154,000 and an increase in retained earnings of RM16,116,000.
The effect of changes in the equity interest in EPO and LPD that is attributable to owners of the Company is
summarised below:

On 30 September 2014, the Company had completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest in TensaChem SA

Europe and extend the value chain of the oleochemical division's business.
The recognised amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition were:

(iii)

Subscription of shares in a subsidiary


On 5 March 2014, KLK Land Sdn Bhd (formerly known as KL-Kepong Property Holdings Sdn Bhd), a whollyowned subsidiary of the Group, subscribed for 60% equity interest in Scope Energy Sdn Bhd ("SESB") for a
cash consideration of RM52.950 million.
SESB entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement in February 2014 to acquire 500 acres of freehold land
comprising several parcels of freehold land located in Mukim Tanjung Kupang, District of Johor Bahru, Johor
("Gerbang Land") for a purchase consideration of RM871.2 million. SESB shall develop the Gerbang Land into
a proposed mixed residential and commercial development which is expected to be developed over a period of
8 years.
The proposed development of the Gerbang Land, being the Group's first property development outside of
Selangor, will enable the Group to unlock the value of the Group's property development potential in Peninsular
Malaysia.

(c)

Disposal of a subsidiary
On 14 May 2014, the Company entered into a conditional share sale and purchase agreement to dispose of its 55%
equity interest in Voray Holdings Ltd ("Voray") for a cash consideration of RM11,523,000. The disposal was
completed in June 2014 and Voray had ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company.
The disposal of Voray allowed the Company to exit from a non-core business and would enable the Company and its
management to focus and harness the potential of its core plantations and oleochemical businesses where the
returns are significantly higher.
The effect of disposal of shares in Voray on the financial position of the Group is summarised below:
RM'000
Property, plant and equipment
Prepaid lease payments
Inventories
Trade and other receivables

Financial risk management


The Group has exposure to the following risks from the use of financial instruments:
- Credit risk
- Liquidity risk
- Market risk

(d)

Credit 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 and investment securities and derivative assets used for hedging. 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 subsidiaries.
(i)

Receivables
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
Management has a credit policy in place and exposure to credit risk is monitored on an on-going basis.
Credit worthiness review is regularly performed for new customers and existing customers who trade on
credit, to mitigate exposure on credit risk. Where appropriate, the Group requires its customers to provide
collateral before approvals are given to trade on credit.
Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from receivables is
represented by the carrying amounts in the statement of financial position.

135

136

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

Management has taken reasonable steps to ensure that receivables that are neither past due nor impaired
are stated at their realisable values. A significant portion of these receivables are regular customers that
have been transacting with the Group. The Group uses ageing analysis to monitor the credit quality of the
receivables. Any receivables having significant balances past due the agreed credit periods, which are
deemed to have higher credit risk, are monitored individually.
None of the receivables are secured by financial guarantees given by banks, shareholders or directors of
the customers.
The exposure of credit risk for trade receivables as at end of the reporting period by business segment was:

Investments and other financial assets


Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
Investments are allowed only in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a credit rating equal
to or better than the Group. Transactions involving derivative financial instruments are with approved
financial institutions.
Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral
As at the end of the reporting period, the Group invested in both domestic and overseas securities. The
maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amounts in the statement of financial
position.
In view of the sound credit rating of counterparties, management does not expect any counterparty to fail
to meet its obligations.
The investments and other financial assets are unsecured.

(iii) Financial guarantees


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
certain subsidiaries. The Company monitors on an on-going basis the results of the subsidiaries and
repayments made by the subsidiaries.
Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral
As at end of the reporting period, there was no indication that any subsidiary would default on repayment.
The financial guarantees have not been recognised since the fair value on initial recognition was not
material.
(iv) Inter-company balances
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.
Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral
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.

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

(e)

Liquidity risk
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 sufficient levels of cash or cash equivalents and adequate amounts of credit facilities to
meet its working capital requirements. In addition, the Group strives to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping
its credit lines available at a reasonable level. As far as possible, the Group raises funding from financial
institutions and prudently balances its portfolio with some short and long term funding so as to achieve overall
cost effectiveness.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group's and the Company's financial liabilities as at end
of the reporting period based on undiscounted contractual payments:

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and other
prices will affect the Group's financial position or cash flows.
(i)

Foreign currency risk


The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales, purchases, inter-company advances and
borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group
entities. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily United States Dollar ("USD"), Pound Sterling
("GBP"), Euro, Australian Dollar ("AUD"), Singapore Dollar ("SGD"), Hong Kong Dollar ("HKD") and Papua
New Guinean Kina ("PGK").
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
Foreign currencies exposures of the Group are hedged through forward exchange contracts. Most of the
forward exchange contracts have maturities of less than one year after the end of the reporting period.
Where necessary, the forward exchange contracts are rolled over at maturity.

Currency risk sensitivity analysis


The sensitivities of the Group's profit after tax and equity to the possible change in the following foreign
currencies against the respective functional currencies of the Group entities are shown below. This analysis
assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remained constant and ignores any impact of
forecasted sales and purchases.
A 5% strengthening of the functional currencies of the Group entities against the foreign currencies at the
end of the reporting period would have increased/(decreased) profit after tax and equity by the amounts

A 5% weakening of the functional currencies of the Group entities against the foreign currencies at the end
of the reporting period would have equal but opposite effect on profit after tax and equity.
(ii)

Interest rate risk


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 floating rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to
changes in interest rates. Short term funds, short term receivables and payables are not significantly
exposed to interest rate risk.
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Group through its Treasury Committee reviews the funding requirements for its business operations
and capital expenditures and adopts a policy to secure an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate
exposure suitable for the Group.
To achieve this objective, the Group has obtained the most competitive cost of capital through the
issuance of Islamic Medium Term Notes, long term and short term borrowings and trade financing facilities.
Exposure in interest rate risk
The interest rate profile of the Group's and the Company's significant interest-bearing financial instruments,
based on carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period was:

Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis


Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments
The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit 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.

KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD | ANNUAL REPORT 2014

notes on the financial statements

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for floating rate instruments


A change of 50 basis points in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would have
increased/(decreased) profit after tax and equity by the amounts shown below. The analysis assumes that
all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.
2014

RM'000
(1,547)
1,547

As the Company did not have any floating rate instruments as at 30 September 2014 and 30 September
2013, a change in interest rates would not have any impact to the profit after tax and equity of the
Company.
(iii) Equity price risk
Equity price risk arises from the Group's investments in equity securities.
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
Management of the Group monitors the equity investments on a portfolio basis. Material investments
within the portfolio are managed on an individual basis and all buy and sell decisions are approved by the
Risk Management Committee of the Group.
Equity price risk sensitivity analysis
The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.
A 5% higher in equity prices at the end of the reporting period would have increased the Group's and the
Company's equity by RM40,219,000 (2013: RM44,175,000) and RM14,309,000 (2013: RM15,941,000)
respectively. A 5% lower in equity prices would have equal but opposite effect on equity.
(iv) Commodity price risk
The Group is exposed to price fluctuation risk on commodities mainly of palm oil and rubber.
Risk management objectives, policy and processes for managing the risk
The prices of these commodities are subject to fluctuations due to uncontrollable factors such as weather,
global demand and global production of similar and competitive crops. The Group mitigates the risk to the
price volatility through hedging in the futures market and where deemed prudent, the Group sells forward in

Fair value of financial instruments


The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short term receivables and payables and short term
borrowings approximate fair values due to the relatively short term nature of these financial instruments.
It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Group's investment in unquoted shares due to the lack of
comparable quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs.
The fair values of other financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts shown in the
statement of financial position, are as follows:

The following summarises the methods used in determining the fair value of financial instruments reflected in
the above table.
Investments in quoted shares
The fair value of investments that are quoted in an active market are determined by reference to their quoted
closing bid price at the end of the reporting period.
Derivatives
The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts and commodities future contracts is based on their quoted
price at the end of the reporting period.
Non-derivative financial liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future
principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the end of the reporting period.
The interest rates used by the Group and the Company to discount estimated cash flows to determine the fair
value of borrowings were 0.60% to 4.65% (2013: 0.86% to 6.60%) and 3.88% to 4.65% (2013: 3.88% to
4.65%) respectively.

Fair value hierarchy


The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels
have been defined as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable) inputs

45. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
(a) KL-Kepong Plantation Holdings Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, had on 10 November
2014 entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with PT Astra Agro Lestari Tbk ("PT Astra Agro"), whereby PT
Astra Agro will be a 50% shareholder in PT Kreasijaya Adhikarya ("PT Kreasijaya") through the subscription of
new shares in PT Kreasijaya ("Proposed Transaction"). PT Kreasijaya is a 95% subsidiary of the Group. With
the entry of PT Astra Agro as a 50% shareholder in PT Kreasijaya, PT Kreasijaya shall cease to be a subsidiary
of the Group.
The Proposed Transaction is conditional on the fulfilment of various conditions within 3 months from the date of
the Joint Venture Agreement and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of calendar year 2015.
The dilution of the Group's equity interest to 50% with a loss of control in PT Kreasijaya is considered as a
deemed disposal of shares in a subsidiary and the surplus on disposal will be recognised in profit or loss.
The effect of the deemed disposal of shares in PT Kreasijaya on the financial position of the Group is
summarised below:
RM'000
Property, plant and equipment
Prepaid lease payment
Deferred tax assets
Inventories
Other receivables
Cash and cash equivalents
Other payables
Provision for retirement benefits
Total identifiable net liabilities
Surplus on deemed disposal of shares in a subsidiary
Dilution of net assets in a subsidiary
Cash outflow on deemed disposal of a subsidiary

downstream expertise and PT Astra Agro will provide its local market insight to supply sourcing as well as
significant supply of its good quality raw materials.

in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

entitled to attend, speak and vote at the meeting.
(2) Appointment of Proxy
(a) A member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote in his stead. A proxy

(b) Where the proxy form is executed by a corporation, it must be either under its seal or under the hand of its officer or attorney duly

(3) Agenda 1
This item is meant for discussion only as under Section 169(1) of the Companies Act, 1965 and the Companys Articles of Association, the

operations and on normal commercial terms not more favourable to the related parties than those generally available to the public, and

Transactions arise.

bersuara dan mengundi di dalam mesyuarat.
(2) Pelantikan Proksi

(a) Ahli Syarikat yang layak untuk hadir dan mengundi pada mesyuarat ini berhak melantik seorang proksi untuk hadir dan mengundi bagi

pihaknya. Seseorang proksi mungkin tetapi tidak semestinya ahli Syarikat dan peruntukan Seksyen 149 (1)(b) Akta Syarikat, 1965 tidak

diguna pakai oleh Syarikat. Seseorang ahli tidak boleh melantik lebih daripada dua (2) proksi untuk menghadiri mesyuarat yang sama.
Sekiranya ahli melantik dua (2) proksi, pelantikan tersebut dianggap tidak sah melainkan ahli telah menetapkan bahagian pegangannya

yang akan diwakili oleh setiap proksi.

(b) Perlantikan proksi yang dilaksanakan oleh ahli korporat harus ditandatangani di bawah meteri atau ditandatangani oleh pegawainya atau

peguam yang dikuasai.

(c) Sekiranya seseorang ahli telah melantik proksi untuk menghadiri mesyuarat agung tetapi akhirnya memilih untuk menghadiri sendiri,

pelantikan proksi tersebut akan dianggap batal dan tidak sah dalam mesyuarat tersebut dan proksi itu juga tidak layak untuk menghadiri

mesyuarat tersebut.
(d)
Bagi nomini yang sah sebagai ahli Syarikat sepertimana yang didefinisikan dalam Akta Perindustrian Sekuriti (Depositori Pusat) 1991
(SICDA), beliau adalah layak melantik tidak melebihi dua (2) proksi bagi setiap akaun sekuriti yang dipegangnya dalam saham biasa
Syarikat, dalam unit berdasarkan kredit akaun sekuriti tersebut.

(e) Bagi nomini yang sah berkecualian sebagai ahli Syarikat yang memegang saham biasa dalam Syarikat bagi beberapa pihak pemilik

benefisial dalam satu (1) akaun sekuriti (akaun omnibus), tiada had proksi yang boleh dilantik bagi setiap akaun omnibus yang dipegang.
Nomini yang sah berkecualian merujuk kepada nomini yang sah yang didefinisikan di bawah SICDA yang dikecualikan daripada mematuhi

peruntukan Subseksyen 25A(1) SICDA.

(f) Di mana ahli atau nomini yang sah melantik dua (2) proksi, atau di mana nomini yang sah berkecualian melantik dua (2) atau lebih proksi,

bahagian pegangan saham yang diwakili oleh setiap proksi hendaklah ditetapkan dalam instrumen pelantikan proksi tersebut.

(g) Instrumen pelantikan proksi dan kuasa peguam atau kuasa lain (jika ada) yang ditandatangani dan diiktiraf oleh kuasa perwakilan atau pihak

berkuasa yang lain (jika ada) harus disampaikan ke Pejabat Berdaftar Syarikat dalam tempoh tidak kurang dari 48 jam sebelum waktu yang

ditetapkan untuk mesyuarat. Salinan instrumen pelantikan proksi yang dihantar melalui faks atau e-mel tidak akan diterima.
(3) Agenda 1
Perkara ini bertujuan untuk perbincangan sahaja sepertimana Seksyen 169(1) Akta Syarikat, 1965 dan Tataurusan Pertubuhan Syarikat,
Penyata Kewangan yang Diaudit akan dibentangkan di Mesyuarat Agung Tahunan dan tidak memerlukan kelulusan rasmi para pemegang
saham. Oleh yang demikian, perkara ini tidak akan dibentangkan untuk undian.
(4) Pengagihan dan Pembayaran Dividen
Pengagihan dan Pembayaran Dividen satu peringkat akhir, jika diluluskan, akan dibayar pada 17 Mac 2015 kepada semua pemegang saham
yang namanya tercatat di dalam Daftar Ahli pada 23 Februari 2015.
Seseorang Pendeposit di Bursa Malaysia Depository Sdn Bhd akan layak untuk menerima dividen hanya jika:


(a) Saham yang didepositkan ke dalam akaun sekuriti Penyimpan sebelum 12.30 petang pada 19 Februari 2015 adalah berkenaan saham

yang dikecualikan dari Deposit Mandatori;
(b) Saham yang dipindahkan ke akaun sekuriti Pendeposit sebelum 4.00 petang pada 23 Februari 2015 adalah berkaitan pemindahan; dan
(c) Saham yang dibeli di Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad berdasarkan keperluan dan kelayakan menurut Undang-Undang Bursa Malaysia
Securities Berhad.

(5) Urusan Khas



(a) Cadangan Kuasa Beli Balik Saham
Resolusi Biasa 8 yang dicadangkan di bawah Perkara 7 Agenda, jika diluluskan, adalah untuk memberi kuasa kepada Syarikat

untuk membeli balik saham Syarikat melalui Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad pada bila-bila masa dalam tempoh yang ditetapkan

dengan menggunakan dana yang diperuntukkan daripada keuntungan tersimpan Syarikat yang telah diaudit.

Pihak Berkaitan yang berulangan yang melibatkan pendapatan atau perdagangan dalam urusan perniagaan biasa yang diperlukan

untuk operasi harian Kumpulan dan dilakukan mengikut terma-terma komersial biasa yang tidak melebihkan pihak yang berkaitan

berbanding dengan yang biasanya tersedia ada untuk pihak umum dan tidak menggugat kepentingan pemegang saham minoriti

Syarikat.
Pemerolehan Mandat Pemegang Saham yang dicadangkan dijangka berupaya mengurangkan masa, usaha dan perbelanjaan pentadbiran

yang sering dikaitkan dengan mesyuarat agung yang berasingan untuk memperolehi kelulusan pemegang saham apabila terdapat
Transaksi Pihak Berkaitan yang berulangan.
Kuasa yang diberikan untuk Resolusi Biasa 8 dan 9 yang dinyatakan di atas, melainkan ditarik balik atau diubah pada mesyuarat agung,
akan tamat pada penutupan MAT Syarikat yang berikutnya. Maklumat lanjut mengenai Resolusi Biasa 8 dan 9 dapat diperolehi dalam Surat

pembayaran ex-gratia berjumlah RM400,000 kepada Tan Sri Datuk Seri Utama Thong Yaw Hong (TYH) bagi mengiktiraf dan

menghargai perkhidmatan lama dan sumbangan beliau kepada Syarikat.
TYH, seorang Pengarah Bukan Eksekutif Bebas Kanan yang telah berkhidmat dengan Syarikat secara berterusan selama kira-kira 20

tahun, telah bersara pada 20 Ogos 2014. Sepanjang tempoh beliau memegang jawatan, beliau tidak pernah dibayar sebarang imbuhan

tambahan selain daripada yuran Pengarah biasa.
