The Audit Committee assessed and confirmed the following:
a) Normal trade receivables in GLG Corp Ltd have been reviewed for
recoverability, with respect to aging, trends and current industry
practice. Noting that the aging of the receivables do not show any
customers having old-aged receivables and that the balances by key
customers within the receivables are in line with current trends in
business with no recoverability issues.
b) The valuation of the GLIT Receivable continues to be an area of
focus due to the commercial nature of GLG’s business. The Audit
Committee has reviewed management’s extensive assessment of the
GLIT receivable to support its recoverability. The receivable
balance due from such outsourced manufacturing suppliers has risen
for FY2019 due to the increase in the working capital required for
their garment manufacturing in Indonesia. With the accessibility of
trust receipts available for offset and the amount of available
collaterals in place, the receivable is evaluated to be recoverable at
the reporting date. The turnover analysis, which showed the average
turnover of the receivable is approximately four months with
constant turning, appears to support its recoverability at period-
end. The Audit Committee has accepted this conclusion.

Principal Activities

The consolidated entity’s principal activities in the course of the financial year were being a global supplier of knitwear/apparel and supply chain management operations.

Review of Operations

For the current fiscal year ending June 2019, the Company consciously improved the mix of its customers by adding new customers in the U.S., despite facing lower volume from existing customers due to the U.S. retail market slowdown and inventory glut. We also saw positive momentum in the production and export of fabric, reaching another all-time record of revenue of US$63 million to support increased demand of knitted fabric from its customers. This new milestone for Maxim in its Malaysia fabric mill reassures the implementation of the company’s vertical-integration and textile manufacturing strategic roadmap when the fabric mill was acquired back in late 2016.

FY2019 also witnessed the Company’s successful completion of the establishment of garment manufacturing factory in Cambodia with a new legal entity called GG Fashion (Cambodia) Co Ltd to own and manage specific assets acquired from its outsourced manufacturing partner, Ghim Li (Cambodia) Pte Ltd and its parent company, GLIT Holdings Pte Ltd. The assets acquired consisted of machinery and equipment, some other fixed assets and intangible assets such as trade name and customer network, employee database and records. With that, GG Fashion (Cambodia) Co Ltd became the first inhouse garment manufacturing factory for the Company in Cambodia by operating in two leased facilities in Phnom Penh.

Towards the end of the fiscal year, FY2019 the Board also made the strategic decision to sell its garment manufacturing factory business in Vietnam, G&G Fashion (Vietnam) Co. Ltd to an external party, Dragon Crowd Garment Inc who will use a combination of cash and loan facilities to finance the acquisition. Despite this change of ownership, the factory in Vietnam will remain as a supplier with its current capacity of 30 production lines to the Company under an outsourcing agreement to support the manufacturing needs of the Company on an ongoing basis.

GLG Corp Ltd Director’s Report

Review of Operations (cont’d)

Finally, the Company has seen lower profitability in FY2019 arising from continuing losses incurred in the Vietnam factory, as well as start-up losses in the Cambodia factory in its first fiscal year of full production.

Comparison of Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Comprehensive Income for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 with that of 30 June 2018.

GLG’s sales slightly decreased by US$4,897 thousand, or 2.7% from US$180,606 thousand in the previous year to US$175,709 thousand in this financial year. The decline in sales was mainly attributed to continued weakness in our end-customers’ retail apparel market.

However gross margin slightly improved to 15.6% compared to 14% in the previous year due to better garment product mix.

Selling and distribution costs increased by 33% to US$8,315 thousand compared to US$6,252 thousand in the previous year, mainly due to the incurrence of airfreight cost and raw materials deliveries cost by garment factory in Cambodia and Maxim fabric mill to meet the tight delivery dates required from customers.

Administrative expenses increased by 19.4% to US$13,867 thousand compared to US$11,614 thousand in the previous year. This is attributable to an increase in admin headcount in HQ coupled with an increase in costs from consolidation of garment factory in Cambodia.

Finance costs increased by 53% from US$2,077 thousand to US$3,178 thousand in the current year compared to previous year, due to the increase in purchase of raw materials and new machineries investment in Cambodia.

Other expenses decreased by 36.7% from US$2,649 thousand to US$1,675 thousand due to reduction in legal fees and cost avoidance in commitment fees payable to outsourced manufacturers in previous year.

Net profit after tax for GLG was US$455 thousand, which represents a decrease of US$1,940 thousand or 81% compared to the financial year ended 30 June 2018 of US$2,395 thousand. Overall, the decrease mainly due to production losses incurred in Vietnam and Cambodia garment factories.

Comparison of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2019 with that of 30 June 2018.

Trade and other receivables decreased by 2.8% from US$89,455 thousand as at 30 June 2018 to US$86,917 thousand as at 30 June 2019. The decrease was primarily due to prompt settlement of payment from customers.

Property, plant and equipment reduced marginally by 8.1% to US$36,896 thousand as at 30 June 2019 compared to US$40,138 thousand as at 30 June 2018, due to account reclassification of the non-current assets of Vietnam subsidiary to “Assets Held For Sale” in compliance with AASB 5.

Intangible assets increased by 151.8% to US$4,776 thousand as at 30 June 2019 compared to US$1,897 thousand as at 30 June 2018, due to acquisition of specific assts (trade name, customer network and employee database) from outsourced manufacturing supplier, Ghim Li Cambodia Pte Ltd.

Trade and other payables increased by 32.4% to US$49,335 thousand as at 30 June 2019 compared to US$37,249 thousand as at 30 June 2018, resulting from increase in short term financing extended by company director and majority shareholder, Ghim Li Group Pte Ltd.

Current and non-current borrowings decreased by 12.1% from US$80,276 thousand as at 30 June 2018 to US$70,580 thousand as at 30 June 2019, as a result of decrease in export invoice factoring from financial institutions and repayment of bank loans which correspondingly reduced the cash balance of 35.2% from US$8,183 thousand as at 30 June 2018 to US$5,304 thousand as at 30 June 2019.

18

GLG Corp Ltd Director’s Report

Review of Operations (cont’d)

Comparison of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 with that of 30 June 2018.

GLG’s cash from operating activities increased by 97.1% to US$13,418 thousand as at 30 June 2019 compared to US$6,809 thousand as at 30 June 2018. This increase resulted mainly due to prompt settlement from customers, supported by close monitoring of trade receivables.

Net cash used in investing was increased by US$6,237 thousand or 136.5% to US$10,807 thousand as at 30 June 2019 compared to US$4,570 thousand as at 30 June 2018. This was mainly attributable to additions of new plant & machinery, renovation and intangible assets in Cambodia factory to meet the needs of higher production levels.

Net cash used in financing was increased to US$5,490 thousand as at 30 June 2019 compared to US$937 thousand as at 30 June 2018. The increase stemmed from financing the working capital incurred in the factories for fabric and garment production.

We believe the cash flows from operations of GLG remains sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt servicing and other funding requirements for the foreseeable future.

  • none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

37

GLG Corp Ltd Independent Auditor’s Report

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on 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; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Fair value hierarchy

The following details the consolidated entity's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

  • Assets and liabilities measured at fair value include:

  • Freehold and leasehold land and buildings - Level 3 – refer to Note 15 for further details

38

GLG Corp Ltd Independent Auditor’s Report

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

In the current year, the Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.

Standards and Interpretations adopted

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

The Company has adopted AASB 9: Financial Instruments from 1 July 2018. AASB 9 largely retains the existing requirements of AASB 139 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities, however it eliminates the previously AASB 139 categories for financial assets held to maturity, receivables and available for sales.

As at 30 June 2019, the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, other assets, other financial assets, trade and other payables and borrowings.

Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, other assets and other financial assets previously designated as loans and receivables under AASB 139 are now classified as amortised cost under AASB 9. The trade and other payables and borrowings are designated as other financial liabilities, which are also measured at amortised cost.

In addition, there are new impairment requirements for financial assets held at amortised cost which use an ‘expected credit loss’ (‘ECL’) model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The Company has adopted a simplified approach for trade receivables with an amount equal to the full expected credit losses to be recognised. The expected loss rates are based on the Company’s movement of balances from one aging category to the next to indicate increase in collection time which is an indicator of the probability of default. These loss rates are then applied to the individual aging categories to calculate an expected credit loss.

As the ECL assessment has resulted in an insignificant adjustment on transition, no additional impairment allowance has been recognised by the Group as at 1 July 2018. Refer to Notes 2(d) and (h) for further details.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with customers

The Company has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018 utilising the modified retrospective approach. Under this method, the cumulative effect of initial application is recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 July 2018 and comparatives are not restated. In accordance with the transition guidance, AASB 15 has only been applied to contracts which are not complete as at 1 July 2018. There has not been a material impact on the adoption of this standard.

The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue recognition model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price.

The Company recognises revenue when it transfers control over a good or service to a customer which is at a point in time.

The Company recognises contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations and reports these amounts as other liabilities in the statement of financial position. Similarly, if the Company satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the Company recognises either a contract asset or a receivable in its statement of financial position, depending on whether an objective measure other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due.

AASB 15 did not have a significant impact on the Group’s accounting. Refer to Note 5 for further details.

GLG Corp Ltd Independent Auditor’s Report

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

Standards and Interpretations issued not yet effective

AASB 16 Leases

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117: Leases and related Interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases typically. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16.

The Company has chosen not to early-adopt AASB 16. However, the Company has conducted an assessment of the impact of this new Standard, as follows.

The company’s non-cancellable operating lease commitments amount to $9.4M as at the reporting date, see note 24 (b). The Company has performed an assessment and has estimated that on 1 July 2019, that the Company expects to recognise the right-of-use assets of approximately $12M and lease liabilities of approximately $12M. Following the adoption of this new Standard, the Company’s EBITDA is expected to increase by approximately $2.1M in FY2020.

For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments shall be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. The Company will include the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liabilities in the cash flows from financing activities, thus increasing operating cash flows and decreasing financing cash flows by approximately $1.8M.

AASB 16 will be applied by the Company from its mandatory adoption date of 1 July 2019. The modified retrospective approach will be the Company’s chosen approach, and thus the comparative amounts for the year prior to first adoption will not be restated. The right-of-use assets will be measured at the amount of the lease liability on adoption.

(a) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the information and results of each subsidiary from the date on which the Company obtains control and until such time as the Company ceases to control such entity. Control is achieved when the company:

  • has power over the investee;

  • is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, and unrealised profits arising within the consolidated entity are eliminated in full.

40

GLG Corp Ltd Independent Auditor’s Report

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

A list of subsidiaries appears in note 27 to the financial statements. Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

(b) Foreign currency

The individual financial statements of each GLG entity are presented in its functional currency being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in United States dollars, which is the functional currency of GLG Corp Ltd and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements. All subsidiaries of GLG Corp Ltd have functional currency of United States dollars.

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period.

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except that:

  • (i) exchange differences which relate to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets where they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings;

  • (ii) exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks, there are no hedging activities undertaken in the current year; and

  • (iii) exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned or likely to occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation, and which are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

(c) Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

(i) where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or

(ii) for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows.

  • (d) Financial assets

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, financial assets at ‘amortised cost’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other assets and other financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest rate basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’.

The Company recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for the amount that the expected credit loss is updated to reflect these changes in credit risk. The carrying amount of financial assets including uncollectible trade receivables is reduced by the impairment loss through the use of an allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account.

The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If GLG neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, GLG recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If GLG retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, GLG continues to recognise the financial assets and also recognises collateralised borrowings for the proceeds received.

(e) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, GLG reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, GLG estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest GLG of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

(f) Employee benefits

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Provisions made in respect of short term employee benefits are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Provisions made in respect of long term employee benefits are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the consolidated entity in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

(g) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Company will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

(h) Financial instruments issued by the Company

Trade and other payables and borrowings are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Trade and other payables and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

  • (i) Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale

Non-current assets and assets of disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal. For non-current assets or assets of disposal groups to be classified as held for sale, they must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale must be highly probable.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non-current assets and assets of disposal groups to fair value less costs of disposal. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs of disposal of a non-current assets and assets of disposal groups, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised.

Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current assets. The liabilities of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current liabilities.

3. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of GLG’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Impairment of receivables and impairment of goodwill are two key areas of estimates and judgements. Refer to Notes 11 and 18 for further details. Additionally, the estimates related to the revaluation of property plant and equipment are also key areas of estimates and judgements. Refer to Notes 15 for further details.

4. Segment information

Identification of reportable operating segments

The consolidated entity is organised into two operating segments: fabric and garments. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments and management do not review information by geographic segment nor do they review segment assets or liabilities

Revenues of US$48,072 thousand (2018: US$57,375 thousand), US$50,230 thousand (2018: US$49,513 thousand) and US$32,993 thousand (2018: US$34,151 thousand) are derived from three single customers of the Company. Each of these separate revenues amount to more than 10% of the Company’s revenues from external customers.

The directors’ review EBIT (earnings before interest and tax). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the directors are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.

The information reported to the directors is on at least a monthly basis.

Types of products and services

The principal products and services of each of these operating segments are as follows: Fabric the manufacture and wholesaling of fabric Garments the manufacturing and wholesaling of garments

Intersegment transactions

Intersegment transactions were made at market rates. The garment retailing operating segment purchases fabric from the fabric manufacturing operating segment. Intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

10. Income Taxes

Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, branches and interest in joint ventures except where the consolidated entity is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the consolidated entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company/consolidated entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

There were no franking credits for 2018 nor 2019.

Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the Consolidated Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where the current or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

  • (a) The tax rate used in the above reconciliation is the corporate tax rate of 30% payable by Australian corporate entities on taxable profits under Australian tax law. There has been no change in the corporate tax rate when compared with the previous reporting period. However, for the purposes of tax reconciliation, certain subsidiaries were operating in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, in which these entities are taxed at the respective local tax rates.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets in relation to tax losses at year end amounted to approximately $1,788,000.

The average credit period on sales of goods and rendering of services is 75 days. No interest is charged on the trade receivables outstanding balance.

Before accepting any new customers, GLG uses an external scoring system to assess the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customers. Limits and scoring attributed to customers are reviewed twice a year. 94% of the trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired have the best credit scoring attributable under the external credit scoring system used by GLG.

Included in GLG’s trade receivable balance are debtors with a carrying amount of US$1,101 thousand (2018: US$1,235 thousand) which are past due at the reporting date. There has been no significant change in credit quality and all amounts are considered recoverable. GLG does not hold any collateral over these balances.

In determining the recoverability of trade receivables, GLG considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. Credit risk is concentrated with a few significant counterparties.

Provision for impairment of receivables – estimates and judgements

GLG assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating the conditions and events specific to GLG that may be indicative of impairment triggers.

GLIT Holdings Pte Ltd (GLIT) and its operating subsidiaries provide outsourced manufacturing services to GLG Corp. GLG Corp provides working capital and fabric to GLIT as part of the arrangement. When fabric is acquired by GLIT, GLG Corp issues a letter of credit on their behalf. In order to maximize the discounts available, GLG Corp converts for GLIT the letter of credit it has issued into a Trust Receipt. The Bank will immediately pay the fabric supplier. Once GLIT invoices GLG Corp, a trade payable is recorded. GLG Corp has a legally enforceable right to offset the amount owed by GLIT and settle the balance, if any, with GLIT on a net basis. The offset takes place between 90 days to 120 days depending on the date of maturity of the Trust Receipt.

GLIT Holdings Pte Ltd and its subsidiaries that provide subcontracted manufacturing operations were disposed of by the Ghim Li Group in 2005 as part of a management buy out. GLIT continue to operate as GLG’s outsourced manufacturing partner.

The GLIT Receivables (collectively the receivables from GLIT Holdings and receivables from outsourced manufacturing suppliers) carrying value is estimated to be recoverable on the basis that GLIT continues to operate as our outsourced manufacturing partner dedicated to serve the day-to-day needs of GLG Corp. It is assumed that GLIT has sufficient resources, financial and otherwise to support the order fulfilment processes in the factories, with guidance and loadings from GLG Corp. The valuation of GLIT receivable is evaluated to be recoverable based on the assumption specifically on the accessibility of trust receipts available for offset and the amount of available collateral in place.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

13. Inventory

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead expenses, are assigned to inventory on hand by the method most appropriate to each particular class of inventory, valued on a first in first out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

15. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are carried in the Statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Assets are pledged as security – refer further to Note 20.

Land and buildings are initially recognized at cost. Freehold land is subsequently carried at the revalued amount less accumulated impairment losses. Buildings and leasehold land are subsequently carried at the revalued amounts less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment, including freehold buildings. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using the straight line method. The lease period is for 60years, ending 2050. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation

Building on freehold land 50 years Leasehold properties Over term of lease Plant and machinery 10 years Furniture, fittings and office equipment 3-10 years Motor vehicles 5-10 years

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value include:

  • Freehold and leasehold land and buildings - Level 3

  • Freehold and leasehold land and buildings of the Company were revalued on 30 June 2019 by One Asia Property Consultants (KL) Sdn. Bhd, an external, independent and registered valuer. The comparison method was adopted in arriving at the market value of the freehold and leasehold land and buildings. In estimating the fair value of the properties, the highest and best use of the properties is their current use. There has been no change to the valuation technique as compared with previous financial year and revaluations are done on an annual basis.

Freehold and leasehold land and buildings at valuation are categorised as Level 3 fair value, which has been generally derived using the sales comparison approach. Sales price of comparable properties in close proximity are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as property size. The most significant input to this valuation approach is price per square foot of comparable properties.

Goodwill – recognition and measurement

All business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Goodwill represent the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and has an indefinite useful life. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is assessed as part of the Ghim Li Fashion (M) Sdn Bhd CGU. Goodwill is not amortised but is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis or whenever there is an indication of impairment.

Trademark and customers network

Trademark and customers network are stated as intangible assets in the statement of financial position and amortised on the straight-line method over 10 years.

GLG Corp Ltd Notes to the financial report

Goodwill – estimates and judgements

GLG assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating the conditions and events specific to GLG that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions within the CGU. The value in use is based on the cash flow projections for a period of three years. The cash flow projections are based on the FY2020 budget that has been approved by the board with estimated deduction rates of 2% for FY2020, growth rate of 5% for FY2021 and FY2022 with a terminal growth rate of 2%. As part of the annual impairment test for goodwill, management assesses the reasonableness of growth rate assumptions by reviewing historical cash flow projections and future growth objectives.

The pre-tax discount rate applied to these cash flow projections is 8.5%. The discount rate has been determined using the weighted average cost of capital which incorporates both the cost of debt and the cost of capital. The tax rate applied in the valuation model is based on the corporate tax rate in Malaysia of 24%.

There has been no impairment loss recognised in relation to goodwill.

Management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the cash generating unit to materially exceed its recoverable amount.

26. Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

GLG as lessee

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, at amounts equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the Statement of Financial Position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income.

Finance leased assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Finance lease liabilities

Leasing arrangement

GLG leases motor vehicles and office equipment under finance leases expiring from one to five years. All the leases involve lease payments of a fixed base amount. No contingent rentals were paid during the year (2018: nil)

30. Financial instruments

(a) Capital risk management

GLG manages its capital to ensure that entities in GLG will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. GLG’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2018.

The capital structure of GLG consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 20 and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital and retained earnings as disclosed in notes 21 and 22 respectively.

Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand GLG’s assets, as well as to make the routine outflows of tax and repayment of maturing debt. GLG’s policy is to borrow centrally, using a variety of capital market issues and borrowing facilities, to meet anticipated funding requirements.

Gearing ratio

An integral function of GLG’s Board is risk management. The Board reviews the capital structure on a semi-annual basis.

The gearing ratio at year end was as follows:

Debt (i)

(c) Financial risk management objectives

GLG has not executed any derivatives in the current year, hence the policy listed below are for background information purpose only. If and when such derivatives are used in the future, the objectives is to use them in accordance with a board approved policy. The policy requires GLG co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the consolidated entity.

GLG does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the consolidated entity’s policies approved by the board of directors, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives.

GLG’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. GLG minimises its financial risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rate through the natural hedge of matching its revenues and purchases in US dollars and matching of its assets and liabilities in US dollars.

(d) Foreign currency risk management

GLG undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise

The carrying amount of GLG’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date is as follows:

Singapore dollars

(e) Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

GLG is mainly exposed to movements in the value of Singapore dollars and Malaysia ringgits compared to the US dollar.

The following table details GLG’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the United States dollar against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within GLG where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the currency of the lender or the borrower. A positive number indicates an increase in profit or loss where the United States dollars strengthens against the respective currency. For a weakening of the United States dollars against the respective currency there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit, and the balances below would be negative.

(f) Interest rate risk management

GLG is exposed to interest rate risk as entities in GLG borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by GLG by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings. As no hedging activities undertaken in the current year and if such activities are to be considered in the future, they will be evaluated to align with interest rate views and define risk appetite; ensuring optimal hedging strategies are applied, by either positioning the Statement of financial position or protecting interest expense through different interest rate cycles.

GLG’s exposure to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates.

At reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, GLG’s:

Net profit would increase by US$102 thousand and decrease by US$93 thousand (2018: increase by US$106 thousand and decrease by US$96 thousand). This is mainly attributable to GLG’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings

30. Financial instruments (cont’d)

(g) Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to GLG. The Company deals with creditworthy counterparties by reviewing the exposure and credit-ratings of its counterparties to mitigate the risk of financial loss from defaults. Credit exposure is continuously monitored by the payment behaviors of counterparties in relation to the financial strength.

Trade accounts receivable consist of a number of retail customers located in the United States of America. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts and, where appropriate, trading within the credit limits or discounting of receivables on non-recourse basis with credit acceptance or insurance in place.

The consolidated entity does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any GLG of counterparties having similar characteristics except to the GLIT receivable as disclosed in Note 11. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. There were no derivatives in the current year.

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents the consolidated entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.

The consolidated entity also faces risks of orders cancellation. This is related to fabric, accessories and manufacturing cost incurred on orders cancelled prior to shipment. The consolidated entity is now exploring credit insurance to cover this risk as well.

(h) Liquidity risk management

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Included in note 28(b) is a listing of additional undrawn facilities that GLG has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk.

As business competition dictates, GLG has by choice given extended payment terms to certain core customers with high-volume impact during the current year. Although such practice increases the liquidity risk and cash flow requirement, it is also considered to be an essential element of market penetration and customer retention. The resulting cash flow impact is evaluated with the support of undrawn banking facilities that GLG has arranged to support such business growth.
