GLG Corp Ltd Directors’ Report
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee reviewed the statement of financial position of the consolidated financial statements of GLG for the financial year ended 30 June 2020, as well as the Independent Auditor’s Report thereon before submitting them to the Board for its approval. The Audit Committee discussed with Management the accounting principles that were applied and also considered the appropriateness of the critical accounting estimates and judgments made in preparing the financial statements.
The following significant matters impacting the financial statements were discussed with Management and the external auditor and were reviewed by the Audit Committee:
| Key Audit Matters | How the Audit Committee reviewed these matters and what decisions were made |
|---|---|
| Due to the material balance and potential for overstatement, recoverability of receivables is assessed as a risk. |
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 management evaluated GLIT’s financial capacity and the integral supporting supplier relationship with the GLG Corp and determined that a write-off amount of US$10 million needed to be made, rather than a provision, based on the current and future relationship between the GLIT entities and GLG Corp. This write-off assisted in cleaning up the significant amount of outstanding receivables and have enabled a fresh start to the relationship with GLIT based on assessed financial capabilities, historical transactions with the GLIT entities and the essential role that GLIT play in the operations of GLG Corp. GLG Corp have a vested interest in GLIT’s ability to continue their operations and in them continuing to be a key manufacturing supplier for GLG Corp. GLIT’s business into manufacturing of fabric masks and better product mix have improved the profit margin significantly which resulted in the improvement in the reduction of the balances in the receivables. In view of the recovery progress of the GLIT receivables, GLG is confident of the full recoverability of the receivables and as such reached the conclusion that all the original agreements entered to undertake the receivables recovery could be extinguished should the business condition persist. 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, garment accessories like fabric facial masks and supply chain management operations.
Review of Operations
The current financial year ending June 2020 was challenging year for the Company. Due to the unprecedented Covid 19 pandemic, and sudden USA retail store closures, we had to be very nimble to provide flexibility of delayed or change in shipments to accommodate our customers’ requests. Some of our customers have requested their orders to be postponed and to hold shipments. The “hold and flow” system had mitigated the risk of orders’ cancellation from our customers. As we had offered our customers the flexibility with their orders, we reduced our risk of order cancellations. This halt in orders had resulted in some suspension of some of the production lines in our factories. The postponement of the existing orders and transition to the manufacturing of fabric facial masks had impacted the Company’s cash flow in the short run. This was because the Company had to incur additional financial costs in extending the credit lines arising from the postponement of receivables from the customers and securing new financial arrangements for the new fabric facial masks orders.
The Company was working with several financial institutions to increase the Company’s existing revolving credit lines to mitigate its short term financial burden. The Company was in close communication with the customers to have those goods delivered be paid or arranging with the banks to finance the receivables from the customers in transit. Moreover, the Company had proactively reached out to the suppliers and landlords to discuss some delays in payments to support our business during this difficult time. Other preventive measures to conserve cash and reduce costs would be taken like a general recruitment freeze would be implemented for all ground positions, and all non-essential travels had been suspended. Selected capital expenditure had been deferred and we would be tightening discretionary operating expenditure.
As part of product innovation the Company had collaborated with Singapore’s renowned institution Nanyang Technological University in developing a sustainable way to extract antimicrobial compounds from discard seeds (a natural agri-waste) and used this non-toxic bio-organic bacteria-killing compound as a fabric finishing in its reusable masks “Ultra Mask” and anti-bacterial fabric.
We were grateful to the Singapore Government for being selected as one of the vendors to distribute facial masks to Singaporeans and permanent residents as part of the government’s national initiative.
We had also obtained various government related support mechanisms in the countries that we operated in, our factories remained open and had enabled to switch to the production of facial masks for the global and regional markets which are in shortage of masks. The Company had utilised some of the available inventory of fabric to substitute the production of garments for the production of facial masks in order to mitigate the disruption to our traditional garment orders due to USA and European retail store closures.
To protect the health and safety of our workers, we had implemented safe distancing implementation among the office employees with staggered working hours to reduce possible congregation of employees at common spaces and to perform their work by telecommuting from home.
We have seen our USA and Europe customers opening their stores in the later part of the financial year, and those postponed orders were resumed gradually. The diversification of our business into manufacturing of fabric facial masks had complemented the shortfall of our revenue and the postponement of shipments into our next financial year.

GLG Corp Ltd Director’s Report
Review of Operations (cont’d)
As we end the financial year, the Company had garnered a slight increase of the sales revenue from the diversification of business to masks production. The tightening of expenses spending coupled with the gain on disposal of the Vietnam factory and the job support scheme payout by the Singapore government had increased our net profit after tax.
Comparison of Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Comprehensive Income for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 with that of 30 June 2019.
GLG’s sales slightly increased by US$2.3m or 1.3% from US$175.7m in the previous year to US$178.0m in this financial year. This is mainly due to diversification of its business into manufacturing of fabric masks which offset a reduction in regular customer orders due to the impact of Covid-19.
The gross margin also improved to 22% compared to 15.6% in the previous year due to better product mix.
Other income increased from US$1.0m in the previous financial year to US$3.2m in this financial year. This is mainly attributed to the gain on disposal of the Vietnam factory and the job support scheme payout by the Singapore government to assist the Company to retain its local employees during this period of economic uncertainty affected by the Covid-19.
Selling and distribution costs decreased by 19% to US$6.7m compared to US$8.3m in the previous year, this was mainly due to the postponement of the customers’ orders.
Administrative expenses decreased by 14.1% to US$11.9m compared to US$13.9m in the previous financial year. The decrease in costs was achieved through cost reduction strategies and streamlining of manpower after offsetting with the increase in depreciation expenses amounted to US$1.1m from the adoption of AASB 16 Leases (with effect from 1 July 2019), which resulted in the recognition of all leases as non-current assets in the Group’s statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020.
Finance costs increased by 10.3% from US$3.2m to US$3.5m in the current year compared to previous year. The increase was mainly attributed to the recognition of lease interest of US$0.7m computed on the recognition of lease liabilities resulted from the adoption of AASB 16 Lease.
Other expenses increased from US$1.7m to US$14.9m due to commitment fees payable to outsourced manufacturers, debts written off from a joint venture and outsourced manufacturer.
Net profit after tax for GLG was US$3.8m, which represented an increase of US$3.4m compared to the financial year ended 30 June 2019 of US$0.4m. Overall, the increase was mainly due to higher revenue generated and better cost control.
Comparison of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2020 with that of 30 June 2019.
Trade and other receivables decreased by 45.8% from US$86.9m as at 30 June 2019 to US$47.1m as at 30 June 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a significant reduction in receivables from outsourced suppliers arising from diversification of its business into manufacturing of fabric masks.
Inventory increased by about 27.0% from US$20.8m as at 30 June 2019 to US$26.3m as at 30 June 2020. This is mainly attributed to an increase in the inventory of raw materials and work-in-process in the factories arising from the postponement of orders from customers.
The sale of its Vietnam subsidiary, G&G Fashion (Vietnam) Co. Ltd to Dragon Crowd Garment Inc. has reduced the assets held for sales.
Property, plant and equipment decreased by 4.7% to US$33.1m as at 30 June 2020, due to depreciation expense recorded.

GLG Corp Ltd Director’s Report
Comparison of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2020 with that of 30 June 2019. (cont’d)
Intangible assets decreased by 7.2% from US$6.9m as at 30 June 2019 to US$6.4m as at 30 June 2020 due to amortisation expense recorded.
The right-of-use assets of US$14.7m arose from the adoption of AASB 16 Leases (with effect from 1 July 2019), which resulted in the recognition of all leases as non-current assets in the Group’s statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020.
Trade and Others Payable decreased by 48.3% from US$49.3m as at 30 June 2019 to US$25.5m as at 30 June 2020, as a result of complete debts settlement by Vietnam subsidiary upon the completion of its sales and settlement of due to payables and a net reduction in payables owed to Ghim Li Group.
Current and non-current borrowings decreased by 35.7% from US$70.6m as at 30 June 2019 to US$45.4m as at 30 June 2020, the decrease was largely due to a decline in trust receipts and bills payables.
Comparison of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 with that of 30 June 2019.
Overall, the net cash flow used in operating activities of US$3.8m was mainly due to prompt settlement of payables.
Net cash flows from investing activities amounted to US$10.1m mainly attributed to the disposal of Vietnam subsidiary after offsetting the purchase of ERP system.
Net cash used in financial activities amounted to US$11.6m, was mainly attributed to the repayments to borrowings after offsetting the proceeds from outsourced manufacturing suppliers and full repayment of advance from key management personnel.
As a result of the above, there was a net increase of US$2.3m in cash and cash equivalents for financial year ended 30 June 2020, from a net cash surplus of US$5.3m as at 30 June 2019 to a net cash surplus of US$7.6m as at 30 June 2020.
We believe the cash flows from operations of GLG remains sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt servicing and other funding obligations.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Valuation of GLIT receivables
| Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit | |
| The valuation of the GLIT receivables, | To | determine whether the receivable was |
| collectively the receivables from GLIT Holdings | recoverable at the reporting date, our audit | |
| and receivables from outsourced manufacturing | procedures included, amongst others, the | |
| suppliers as disclosed in Note 11, is significant to | following procedures: | |
| our audit because as at 30 June 2020 the balance was $23,341,321, which is material. |
| Assessed managements’ evaluation of the recoverability of the receivable including |
| The valuation process used by the Group to assess | the rationale and suitability of payables | |
| recoverability is judgemental and is based on | which may be offset against the receivable. | |
| assumptions, specifically those in relation to trust receipts, amounts of available payables for |
| Analysed turnover of the receivable balance in order to ascertain whether the |
| offsetting and the overall working capital cycle of the Group. |
recoverability of the receivable would occur within a reasonable timeframe as part of the |
|
| overall working capital cycle of the Group. |
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information contained in the Directors’ Report (excluding the audited Remuneration report section) and the Corporate Governance Report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report and the Annual Report to Shareholders (including the Chairman / CEO’s Speech and Financial Highlights, Operational Highlights and People Highlights for the year), which is expected to be made available to us after that date.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
When we read the Annual Report to Shareholders, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected. If it is not corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom our report is prepared.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

The financial report comprises the consolidated financial statements of GLG. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statement, the company is a for-profit entity.

GLG Corp Ltd Notes to the financial 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
-
Contingent consideration - Level 3- refer to Note 19 for further details
There were no transfers between levels during the period.

GLG Corp Ltd Notes to the financial 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 16 Leases
The Company has adopted AASB 16 Leases from 1 July 2019. The adoption of this new Standard has resulted in the Company recognising a right-of-use asset and related lease liability in connection with all non-cancellable operating leases except for those identified as low-value or having a remaining lease term of less than 12 months from the date of initial application. The new Standard has been applied using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, no restatement has been recognised.
The Company leases business premises with typically for a fixed period of 5 years to 10 years and may include extension options. From 1 July 2019 leases are recognised as a right of use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the lease is available for use by the Company. Assets and liabilities are measured on a present value basis.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the interest rate implicit in the lease. Where a rate cannot be readily determined from the lease (generally the case) then the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate will be used, being the rate the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds to obtain the equivalent asset.
Right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Payment associated with short term leases (with a term less than 12 months), and leases of low value (less than US$5,000) are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in the profit & loss.
The impact of AASB 16 has been detailed within Note 30
Any new, revised, or amending accounting standards or interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
(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.
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.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
- (b) Foreign currency (cont’d)
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.

2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(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.
(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.
43
GLG Corp Ltd Notes to the financial report
2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)
(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 facial of the statement of financial position, in current assets. The liabilities of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented separately on the facial 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. One such other factor considered in management’s estimates and associated assumptions for the current year includes the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to the degree of uncertainty of the pandemic, the limited recent exposure of the economic and financial impacts and the limited amount of time between the emergence of the pandemic and the reporting date, management have found it necessary to incorporate this ongoing event into the key judgements and estimates made in the preparation of the financial statements in order to reflect the resulting increased estimation uncertainty. 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. The estimates and judgements involved in the revaluation of property plant and equipment and also in determining the lease terms and incremental borrowing rates are also key areas of estimates and judgements. Refer to Notes 15 and 30 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
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.
Revenues of US$45.7m (2019: US$48.1m), US$35.7m (2019: nil) and US$30.9m (2019: US$50.2m) 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 information reported to the directors is on at least a monthly basis.
44
GLG Corp Ltd Notes to the financial report
4. Segment information (cont’d)
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 and fabric mask
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.

5. Revenue
Revenue recognition
The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the consolidated entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
46
GLG Corp Ltd Notes to the financial report
5. Revenue (cont’d)
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered to buyers’ forwarders which is taken to be the point in time when the buyers have control of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account by applying the effective interest rate.

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 2019 nor 2020.
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.

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. 93% 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$1.7m (2019: US$1.1m) 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.
Allowance for expected credit losses 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 on the accessibility of trust receipts available for offset and the amount of available collateral in place, the turnover of the balance as part of the overall working capital cycle of the group and, if necessary, payables or other assets made available to offset or guarantee the balance.
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.
The overall severity and duration of the Covid-19 pandemic is unknown at the reporting date. In determining the ELC provision, forward looking macro-economic information and assumptions relating to the pandemic and other economic indicators have been considered. Both forward looking information and analysis based on the Group’s historical loss experience have been used to determine the ECL provision.

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 2020 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 – 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 FY2021 budget that has been approved by the board with estimated decline in sales of 13% for FY2021, growth rate of 5% for FY2022 and FY2023 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 5.5%. 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%.
Management have incorporated the impact of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic into the assumptions used in its forecast. Assumptions used in impairment testing reflect management’s view and best estimate of the likely scenario based on current available information.
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.

Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

26. Finance 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.
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.

30. Adoption of AASB 16 - Leases
Transition approach
The Group has adopted AASB 16 using the simplified transition approach and has not restated comparative amounts. The Group has measured its lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the appropriate incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The associated right-of-use-assets were recognised as of 1 July 2019 as an amount equal to the lease liability, using the prevailing incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 2019, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease which were recognised in the statement of financial position immediately before 1 July 2019.

Accounting policies in relation to AASB 16
Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
73
GLG Corp Ltd Notes to the financial report
30. Adoption of AASB 16 - Leases (cont’d)
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
Lease term
The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the consolidated entity's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The consolidated entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.
Incremental borrowing rate
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the consolidated entity estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.

31. 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 2019.
The capital structure of GLG consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 20 and lease liabilities disclosed in note 30, 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) Cash and cash equivalents Net Debt Equity (ii) Net debt to equity ratio |
Consolidated |
|---|---|
| 2020 US$’000 2019 US$’000 |

(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 Hong Kong dollars Vietnamese Dong Malaysia Ringgit Australia Dollar |

(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$0.5m and decrease by US$0.5m (2019: increase by US$0.1m and decrease by US$0.1m). This is mainly attributable to GLG’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings

31. 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.
