RITAMIX GLOBAL LIMITED Annual Report 2020
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
Dear shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”),
On behalf of the board (the “Board”) of directors (the “Directors”) of Ritamix Global Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Group”), I am pleased to present the annual results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 (“Financial Year”).
The shares (the “Shares”) of the Company were successfully listed (the “Listing”) on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) on 13 May 2020 (the “Listing Date”). The Listing marked a milestone for the Group to strengthen its corporate profile, which has not only allowed the Group to access the capital market for fund raising but also enhanced the credibility of the Group with customers, suppliers and other business partners, as well as the Group’s ability to recruit, motivate and retain key management personnel. We believe that the net proceeds from the Listing will assist the implementation of the Group’s future development and business strategies as set out in prospectus of the Company dated 24 April 2020 (the “Prospectus”).
However, due to the sudden and rapid spread of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic across the globe in 2020, a series of precautionary and control measures have been undertaken by governments across the world including Malaysia. The Malaysian Government announced the implementation of the movement control order (“MCO”) effective from 18 March 2020. The MCO has adversely affected the usual business activities of the country and disrupted the Group’s daily operations for the Financial Year.
In June 2020, the Malaysian Government announced the recovery movement control order (“RMCO”). Under the RMCO, most of the economic sectors are allowed to operate (subject to Standard Operating Procedures (“SOP”) being implemented) although the country’s border would remain closed.
As part of the new norm under the MCO and RMCO, the Group has implemented the required SOP and took extra preventive measures including, but not limited to, mandatory COVID-19 testing for all site workers, frequent disinfection within the Group’s premises as well as practising social distancing.
The management of the Group has taken the relevant actions to minimise the unfavourable impact on the Group and is closely monitoring this situation. We believe the adverse impact of COVID-19 pandemic will eventually come to an end and the global economy will recover in the following years.
On 7 January 2021, Ritamix (HK) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the cooperation agreement with Shifengfu (Hainan) Health Biotechnology Co., Ltd.[#] (世豐福(海南)健康生物科技有限公司). Pursuant to the cooperation agreement, Hainan Ritamix Biological Science Co., Ltd.[#] (海南利特米生物科學有限公司) (“Hainan Ritamix”) was established. For details, please refer to the announcement of the Company titled “Discloseable transaction in relation to the Cooperation Agreement with Shifengfu (Hainan)” dated 7 January 2021.
For identification purpose only
BUSINESS REVIEW
The Group is a Malaysia-based company principally engaging in (i) distribution of animal feed additives and, to a lesser extent, human food ingredients; and (ii) manufacturing of animal feed additives premixes with operational history since 1982.
The distribution business is basically a principal to principal business whereby the Group purchases brand products from suppliers and sells them independently to customers on the Group’s own account. The Group will advise on the application of different types of products and provide technical supports to customers, as well as provide after sales services to keep track of the effects of the products on poultry and livestock.

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (CoNTINuEd)
==> picture [115 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
The manufacturing business on the other hand involves the Group sourcing of raw materials from suppliers for the production of own brand animal feed additives premixes. The Group provides customized services to customers by formulating premixes with specific dosage and combination of ingredients that fit the customers’ needs to, among others, improve fertility and livability of poultry, strengthen egg shell and colouring properties of egg yolks and improve feed conversion rate of livestock.
During the Financial Year under review, the Group’s revenue decreased by approximately 8.1% from approximately RM126.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to approximately RM115.9 million for the Financial Year. The decrease was mainly attributable to overseas sales which was impacted by the drastic increase in the international freight cost as was globally faced due to shortages of shipping containers. Two of the Group’s main export destinations, namely Bangladesh and the Philippines, were under lockdown and the demands from both countries were negatively affected as a result. The Group was allowed to continue its operation and exempted from the restrictions of the MCO and RMCO as the Group’s businesses considered as essential services to the economy.
The Group’s profit was approximately RM8.5 million and RM13.7 million for the Financial Year and for the year ended 31 December 2019, respectively. Earnings per share was approximately RM1.86 sen and RM3.66 sen for the Financial Year and for the year ended 31 December 2019, respectively.
OUTLOOK
The World Bank noted in its “Global Economic Prospects” report issued in January 2021 that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused the broad collapse of the global economy. The world economy is estimated to have contracted 4.3% in 2020.
On the local front, the Malaysian Central Bank, Bank Negara Malaysia announced in February 2021 that Malaysia’s gross domestic product contracted by 5.6% in 2020. However, Malaysia’s economy is expected to recover in 2021 with growth projected at 6.5%.
At the time of writing, there remains uncertainty on the extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact, which depends on multiple factors including the path and mutation of the disease, efficacy of containment efforts, successful development and deployment of vaccines, and government fiscal and monetary policies. This situation is further complicated by the unprecedented instability of the current government with a marginal simple majority in parliament following the sudden change of government in February 2020. Coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic and the on-going Sino-US trade tension, this instability has affected Malaysia’s business and economic environment. Against this backdrop, we expect the current financial year of 2021 to be fairly challenging for the Group due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
On the other hand, though far-reaching, we believe the adverse impact of COVID-19 pandemic will eventually come to an end and the global economy will recover in the following years. In this regard, the Group is actively exploring opportunities both in Malaysia and overseas.
APPRECIATION
On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to our valued customers, business partners, suppliers, and Shareholders for their persistent support, while also expressing my appreciation to the management team and employees for their valuable contribution to the development of the Group.
Dato’ Sri Lee Haw Yih Chairman

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW
The Group is a Malaysia-based company principally engaging in (i) distribution of animal feed additives and, to a lesser extent, human food ingredients; and (ii) manufacturing of animal feed additives premixes.
The following table sets forth the breakdown of the revenue of the Group by business segments for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019:
| 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| RM’000 Approximate % RM’000 Approximate % |
||
| Manufacturing 39,055 Distribution 76,827 |
33.7 47,482 37.7 66.3 78,571 62.3 |
The Group’s revenue decreased by approximately 8.1% from approximately RM126.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to approximately RM115.9 million for the Financial Year.
Manufacturing
Revenue from the manufacturing business decreased from approximately RM47.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to approximately RM39.1 million for the Financial Year, representing a decrease of approximately 17.7%. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the reduced overseas sales from Bangladesh and the Philippines during the Financial Year. The Group’s overseas sales were impacted by the drastic increase in the international freight cost as was globally faced due to shortages of shipping containers. Two of the Group’s main export destinations, namely Bangladesh and the Philippines, were under lockdown and the demands from both countries were negatively affected as a result. In addition, the Philippines had an outbreak of the African swine fever in 2020, and more than 350,000 pigs were culled during the Financial Year.
Distribution
Revenue from the distribution business decreased from approximately RM78.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to approximately RM76.8 million for the Financial Year, representing a decrease of approximately 2.3%. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in the sales of human food ingredients by approximately RM1.9 million during the Financial Year as the food and beverage industry was heavily affected from prolonged MCO.
Cost of goods sold
The Group’s cost of goods sold mainly comprises cost of inventories, freight cost, direct labour cost, manufacturing overheads and others. The following table sets out the breakdown of the Group’s direct costs during the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019:
| 2020 | 2020 | 2019 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|---|
| RM’000 | Approximate % | RM’000 | Approximate % |
| Cost of inventories 87,835 Freight cost, direct labour cost, manufacturing overheads and others 1,924 |
97.9 2.1 |
95,071 1,720 |
98.2 1.8 |

Gross profit and gross profit margin
In line with the decrease in revenue, the Group’s gross profit decreased from approximately RM29.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to RM26.1 million for the Financial Year, representing a decrease of approximately 10.9%. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales from overseas customers. With combined effects of revenue and cost of goods sold, the Group’s gross profit margin decreased slightly from approximately 23.2% for the year ended 31 December 2019 to 22.5% for the Financial Year.
Administrative and other operating expenses
The Group’s administrative and other operating expenses increased from approximately RM7.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to approximately RM9.8 million for the Financial Year. Such increase was mainly attributable to the net effect of the increases in (i) the staff costs; and (ii) professional fees after the Listing. The administrative and other operating expenses of the Group primarily consist of depreciation, staff costs, repair and maintenance and legal and professional fees and other charges.
Finance costs
Finance costs represented interest expenses on bank borrowings and lease liabilities. For the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, the Group recorded finance costs of approximately RM50,000 and RM146,000, respectively.
Listing expenses
The Group’s Listing expenses primarily consist of professional fees and underwriting commission in relation to the Listing. The Listing expenses were estimated to be approximately RM30.3 million, of which approximately RM17.3 million was directly attributable to the issue of new Shares and deducted from equity in accordance with the relevant accounting standards. The remaining amount of approximately RM6.8 million, RM1.9 million and RM4.3 million were charged to the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Income tax expenses
The Group’s income tax expenses were approximately RM4.1 million and RM5.2 million for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Profit for the year and earnings per Share
As a result of the foregoing, the Group’s profit was approximately RM8.5 million and RM13.7 million for the Financial Year and for the year ended 31 December 2019, respectively. The decrease in the Group’s profit for the Financial Year was mainly attributable to the decrease in revenue and increased Listing expenses as mentioned above. Earnings per Share attributable to the equity holders of the Company were approximately RM1.86 sen and RM3.66 sen for the Financial Year and for the year ended 31 December 2019, respectively.

TREASURY POLICY
The Group has adopted a prudent treasury management policy to (i) ensure that the Group’s funds are properly and efficiently collected and deployed such that there is no material shortfall in cash which may interrupt the Group’s daily business obligations; (ii) maintain sufficient level of funds to settle the Group’s capital commitment when they fall due; and (iii) maintain adequate liquidity to cover the Group’s operation cash flows and administrative expenses. The Board closely monitors the Group’s liquidity position to ensure that the liquidity structure of the Group’s assets, liabilities, and other commitments can meet its funding requirements all the time.
DIVIDEND
The Board resolved not to recommend the payment of a final dividend for the Financial Year (2019: Nil).
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS, MATERIAL ACQUISITIONS OR DISPOSALS OF SUBSIDIARIES AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES
Except for the item as disclosed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements in this annual report and save as disclosed in the Prospectus, the Group has no other significant investments, material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries and associated companies during the Financial Year. The following table sets forth the fair value of the significant investments of the Group as of the Relevant Period:

12.9% 9.2% 13.6% |
3,325 — — |
- The fair value loss was mainly due to unrealised exchange losses as US$ weakened against RM during the Financial Year.
All of the above significant investments were managed by Affin Hwang Asset Management Berhad, an independentlymanaged, bank-backed asset management firm in Malaysia that started its roots in 2001 and specialises in customised solutions and invests into equities, bonds, money market, structured products and other alternative investment instruments to generate returns for its clients.
The Board is of the view that reasonable and effective use of temporary idle funds will enhance the overall capital gain of the Group. The investments were made for treasury management purpose with a view to increasing the return on the unutilised funds of the Group and generating better investment return to the Company and its Shareholders as a whole after taking into account, among others, the level of risk and return on investment. Prior to making such investments, the Group had ensured that there remains sufficient working capital for the Group’s business needs, operating activities and capital expenditures even after making the investments. The Board considers that they are conservative investments with a satisfactory expected return, acceptable risk and high liquidity, are in line with the internal risk management and treasury management of the Group, and have not caused any adverse impact on the working capital of the Group. As part of its treasury management, the Group has been closely monitoring the performance of the investments and its cash flow position.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The key risk and uncertainties identified by the Group relating to its business are as follows:
-
(i) the outbreak of animal diseases or any other similar epidemic could adversely affect its business;
-
(ii) the demand for and market price of products offered by it fluctuate at times and are largely determined by forces outside its control which could materially affect its financial performance;
-
(iii) its business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected by the volatility of prices and the interruption of supply of animal feed additives and human food ingredients sourced from chemical and feed ingredients companies;
10
RITAMIX GLOBAL LIMITED Annual Report 2020
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
==> picture [115 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
-
(iv) the fluctuation of product demand may affect the effectiveness of its inventory management and result in an excessive inventory level;
-
(v) it requires various licenses, permits and government approvals to operate its business in Malaysia and for importing, exporting and manufacturing its animal feed additives and human food ingredients. Failure to obtain and maintain one or all of these licenses and permits could adversely affect its business and future expansion plans;
-
(vi) its distribution business depends on a stable source of supply and its business relationship with suppliers;
-
(vii) its business and reputation may be affected by the quality, safety and performance of brand products and raw materials sourced from suppliers which are beyond its control; and
-
(viii) any major disruption at its manufacturing plant, such as a breakdown of machinery, power or utilities shortage, could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
For other risks and uncertainties facing the Group, please refer to the section headed “Risks Factors” in the Prospectus.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
The Group operates mainly in Malaysia and as a result, fluctuations in the RM’s value against other currencies will create foreign currency translation gains or losses and may have an adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Any imposition, variation or removal of foreign exchange controls may adversely affect the value, translated or converted into US$ or HK$, of the Group’s net assets, earnings or any declared dividends. Consequently, this may adversely affect the Group’s ability to pay dividends or satisfy other foreign exchange requirements.
The management will monitor foreign currency exposure of the Group and will consider undertaking foreign exchange hedging activities to reduce the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on the Group’s operating results. The Group had not used any derivative financial instrument during the Financial Year.
EMPLOYEES AND REMUNERATION POLICY
As at 31 December 2020, the Group had 57 (2019: 55) employees, all of whom were directly hired by the Group. The Group’s employees are invaluable assets of the Group and it is dedicated to managing human capital. The Directors believe that continuous staff training and development will not only improve the Group’s staff’s performance, but will also enhance loyalty and staff morale. For its new recruits, the Group offers induction training courses which cover practical and technical aspects of their works, together with its corporate culture and core value. Remuneration package offered by the Group to its staff includes basic salary, discretionary bonuses and allowance. For the Financial Year, the Group’s employee costs, including Directors’ emoluments, were approximately RM5.5 million (2019: RM5.3 million). The Directors review the performance of the Group’s employees on a periodical basis in order to determine salary adjustment and promotions and keep the Group’s remuneration package competitive.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds (the “Net Proceeds”) received from the Listing by the Group amounted to approximately HK$72.4 million, after deducting the underwriting fees, commissions and other Listing expenses. At 31 December 2020, approximately HK$5.7 million of the Net Proceeds had been utilised. As at 31 December 2020, all of the unused proceeds were deposited in licensed banks in Hong Kong and Malaysia. During the period from the Listing Date and up to 31 December 2020 (the “Relevant Period”), the Net Proceeds had been applied as follows:

Note: Net Proceeds to be applied to working capital depend on the actual requirement in operation of the Group.
The progress of the use of proceeds has been slowed down due to the prolonged MCO with strict SOPs being in place, which has reduced economic and social activities. The Directors believe that once MCO being lifted and economy is stable, the Group will actively proceed with the plan of utilising the fund. In view of the current low interest rate environment, the Directors decided to temporarily invest the unused Net Proceeds in conservative investments with a satisfactory expected return, acceptable risk and high liquidity. Part of the unutilised Net Proceeds were invested in the US$ Hedged-class Units of Affin Hwang Select Bond Fund for an aggregate amount of US$5 million, with details set out in the Company’s announcement dated 28 August 2020. The Company will redeem part or all of the investment in the fund when the Company utilises the Net Proceeds according to the disclosure made in the Prospectus. The Company will ensure that there will be no adverse impact to the utilisation of the Net Proceeds and there will be no change in the final use of the Net Proceeds as planned.

Packaging Material
The Group did not use substantial packaging materials during FY2020 for its services and during delivery. In our administration office, we encourage our employees to bring their own food containers, reusable or biodegradable bags.
A2 Use of Resources
The Group strongly advocates and practises a culture of recycling amongst our employees. We segregate our waste by separating the waste into different bins — general waste, paper & cardboard, plastics and metals, and appointed recycled service providers to manage these wastes. The Group promotes reduction of paper consumption by encouraging electronic communication via email and use of double-sided printing and does not use any packaging material for its production output sold to its customers.
Paper, ink cartridges and tonners consumed in offices are identified as non-hazardous wastes in our operation. Used ink cartridges and tonners were returned to the vendors for recycling purpose.
We aim to continue encouraging recycling and reuse throughout our value chain and in the wider community through various initiatives and campaigns. These initiatives include capturing weightage of wastes and monitoring the quantity of wastes generated and how we can improve our operations to minimise waste generation.
Energy efficiency
Electricity was consumed in the Group’s office typically for lighting, air conditioning and office operations while diesel was consumed by the vehicles for logistics purpose. The Group’s sustainability practices include turning off lights and air conditioning after use and during lunch time — such practices may seem trivial, but it can help to reduce the Group’s electricity consumption in long term.
The Group is committed to monitoring the energy usage in order to reduce the electricity consumption for sustainability purpose. In achieving the said objective, the Group is currently improving the monitoring process.

ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT
The Board is committed to providing a balanced, clear and comprehensive assessment of the Group’s performance, position and prospects in annual and interim reports, and other financial disclosures required by the Listing Rules. The Directors acknowledge their responsibility for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group’s financial statements and cash flows for the Relevant Period and are properly prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the applicable statutory requirements and accounting standards.
The management will provide the Board with monthly updates giving a balanced and understandable assessment of the Group’s performance, position and prospects in sufficient detail to enable the Board as a whole and each Director to discharge their duties under Rule 3.08 and Chapter 13 of the Listing Rules.
The Directors were not aware of any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, Mazars has stated in the independent auditors’ report its reporting responsibilities on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the Financial Year.

The Directors confirmed that during the ordinary course of the Group’s business, the Group is exposed to various types of risks, including
-
(i) country risks relating to Malaysia;
-
(ii) regulatory risks in relation to the Group’s business; and
-
(iii) operational risks.
The Group has designed and implemented risk management policies to address these potential risks identified in relation to the Group’s business. The Group’s risk management system sets out procedures to identify, analyse, assess, mitigate and monitor any potential risks. The executive Directors are responsible for overseeing the overall risk management and each department carries out their own risk management identification exercise and proposes risk response plan according to the overall risk assessment program. Each department of the Group is required to set up appropriate risk management strategies based on the risk identified and their proposed risk response plan and is responsible for the implementation and supervision. For material deficiency or risks identified, the relevant department should report the situation to the Board for further investigation, internal control review and enhancement and supervision.
The Group has adopted the following corporate governance and internal control measures to monitor the ongoing implementation of its risk management policies and corporate governance measures after the Listing. The Directors believe that the Group’s internal control system is sufficient in terms of comprehensiveness, practicability and effectiveness. The Group will refine and enhance its internal control systems to respond to any new requirements of its operations as appropriate.

Based on review and procedures conducted, the Board considers that the Group’s risk management and internal control systems are effective and adequate. The Board will conduct review on the Company’s risk management and internal control system annually. However, the risk management and internal control systems of the Group are designed to manage rather than to eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The Company has its internal audit function, which primarily carries out the analysis and independent appraisal of the adequacy and effectiveness of risk management and internal control systems, and reports their findings to the Board.
HANDLING AND DISSEMINATION OF INSIDE INFORMATION
The Group acknowledges its responsibilities under the Securities and Futures Ordinance, Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong (the “SFO”) and the Listing Rules and the overriding principle that inside information should be announced promptly when it is the subject of a decision.

The Company has adopted the Model Code as its own code of conduct regarding Directors’ securities transactions. Other employees of the Group who are likely to be in possession of inside information of the Company are also subject to dealing restrictions. The Group has strictly prohibited unauthorized use of confidential or insider information or any use of such information for the advantage of himself or others. Any inside information and any information which may potentially constitute inside information is promptly identified, assessed and escalated to the Board and for the Board to decide on the need for disclosure. Inside information and other information which is required to be disclosed pursuant to the Listing Rules will be announced on the respective websites of the Stock Exchange and the Company in due course.

==> picture [175 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
To the members of Ritamix Global Limited (Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
OPINION
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Ritamix Global Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group”) set out on pages 51 to 101, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2020, and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Joint Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Expected credit loss (“ECL”) assessment of trade receivables
| As at 31 December 2020, the gross amount of trade receivables and its related allowance for ECL amounted to approximately RM27,073,000_(2019: approximately_ RM36,883,000)_and approximately RM1,676,000(2019:_ _approximately RM1,809,000),_respectively. At each reporting date, the management of the Group estimates the amount of lifetime ECL of trade receivables based on provision matrix that is based on historical data and is adjusted for forward-looking information of respective trade receivables. The management of the Group believes that they have considered reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost and effort for this purpose. Such assessment has taken the quantitative and qualitative historical information and also, the forward- looking analysis. We have identified the management’s ECL assessment of trade receivables as a key audit matter because the carrying amount of trade receivables was significant to the consolidated financial statements and the ECL assessment of these balances required significant judgement and involved high level of uncertainty. Related disclosures are included in Notes 2, 16 and 29 to the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures, among others, included: (a) understanding of the Group’s credit risk management and practices and assessing the Group’s impairment policy in accordance with the requirements of applicable accounting standards; (b) assessing and challenging the application of impairment methodology of ECL, and checking the assumptions and key parameters to external data sources where available; (c) assessing the reasonableness and relevancy of the external information used by the Group as the forward-looking information; (d) testing, on a sample basis, the accuracy of ageing categories of trade receivables based on relevant delivery notes, sales invoices and sales contracts; and (e) checking the calculation of ECL based on the methodology adopted by the Group and adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in relation to credit risk exposed by the Group in the consolidated financial statements. |

KEY AUDIT MATTERS (Continued)
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Recognition of expenses for the initial listing of the Group
Relevant costs incurred for the initial listing of the shares of the Company are allocated and classified among (i) profit or loss as listing expenses, and (ii) equity as a reduction of share premium upon the capitalisation issue, on the basis that whether the costs are (a) costs for the Company to obtain the listing status, or (b) incremental costs for the Company to raise additional funds from the issue of new shares. Such allocation of costs involved significant judgement of the management of the Group.
During the year ended 31 December 2020, costs attributable to obtain the listing status of approximately RM4,291,000 (2019: approximately RM1,928,000) and incremental costs for the Company to raise additional funds from the issue of new shares of approximately RM17,291,000 (2019: Nil) were charged to profit or loss and equity as a reduction of share premium, respectively.
Our procedures, among others, included:
-
(a) obtaining an understanding of and enquiring of the management of the Group on the bases of classification and allocation of the relevant costs and assessing the reasonableness of these bases with reference to the applicable accounting standards and guidelines; and
-
(b) checking samples of items that made up the total costs incurred for the initial listing of the shares of the Company to invoices and agreements to confirm the nature of the items and checking whether these items have been correctly classified and allocated according to the bases determined by the management of the Group.
We have identified the above matter as a key audit matter because the amounts involved are significant and the classification and allocation of relevant costs incurred involves a significant degree of management judgement and therefore is subject to an inherent risk of error.
Related disclosure is included in Notes 2 and 24(iii) to the consolidated financial statements.
OTHER INFORMATION
The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the 2020 annual report of the Company, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our joint auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND THOSE CHARGE WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs issued by the IASB, and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors of the Company determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability 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 of the Company either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
JOINT AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a joint auditors’ report that includes our opinion. This report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors of the Company.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the directors of the Company and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our joint auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our joint auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

JOINT AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our joint auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

For the year ended 31 December 2020
==> picture [115 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Ritamix Global Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Group”) was incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability in the Cayman Islands on 29 October 2018. The Company’s shares were listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) on 13 May 2020. The Company’s immediate and ultimate holding company is Garry-Worth Investment Limited (“Garry-Worth”), which was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”). The ultimate controlling parties of the Group are Dato’ Sri Lee Haw Yih, Datin Sri Yaw Sook Kean, Mr. Lee Haw Shyang and Mr. Lee Haw Hann (collectively referred to as the “Ultimate Controlling Parties”). The registered office of the Company is situated at Windward 3, Regatta Office Park, P.O. Box 1350, Grand Cayman KY1-1108, Cayman Islands. The Company’s principal place of business in Hong Kong is situated at 31st Floor, 148 Electric Road, North Point, Hong Kong and the Group’s headquarters is situated at No. 7, Jalan TP 7, UEP Industrial Park, 40400 Shah Alam, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia.
The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The Group is based in Malaysia and principally engages in (i) distribution of animal feed additives and, to a lesser extent, human food ingredients; and (ii) manufacturing of animal feed additives premixes.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”), which collective term includes all applicable individual IFRSs, International Accounting Standards (“IASs”) and Interpretations issued by the IASB and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The consolidated financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Rules”).
The measurement basis used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements is historical cost basis, except for other investments in unlisted investments classified at fair value through profit or loss (“FVPL”) which are measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in RM and all amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand (“RM’000”), unless otherwise indicated.
Except for the new/revised IFRSs as describe below, the Group has consistently applied all IFRSs which are effective for the Group’s financial year beginning on 1 January 2019 for the consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of new/revised IFRSs
The Group has applied, for the first time, the following new/revised IFRSs that are relevant to the Group:
Amendments to IASs 1 and 8 Definition of Material Amendments to IAS 39, IFRSs 7 and 9 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Phase 1 Amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a Business Amendments to IFRS 16 COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions
The adoption of the new/revised IFRSs that are relevant to the Group and effective from the current year had no significant effects on the results and financial position of the Group for the current and prior years.

Notes to the CoNsolidAted FiNANCiAl stAtemeNts (CoNtiNued)
For the year ended 31 December 2020
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Basis of measurement
The measurement basis used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is historical cost basis, except for the other investments in unlisted investments classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss which are measured at fair value as explained in the accounting policy set out below.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as that of the Company using consistent accounting policies.
All intra-group balance, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transactions provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated/combined from the date on which the Group obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
Non-controlling interests are presented, separately from owners of the Company, in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position. The non-controlling interests in the acquiree, that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets in event of liquidation, are measured initially either at fair value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. This choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Other types of noncontrolling interests are initially measured at fair value, unless another measurement basis is required by IFRSs.
Allocation of total comprehensive income
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the Company and the noncontrolling interest even if this results in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance.
Changes in ownership interest
Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest determined at the date when control is lost and (ii) the carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests at the date when control is lost. The amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the disposed subsidiary are accounted for on the same basis as would be required if the parent had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Any investment retained in the former subsidiary and any amounts owed by or to the former subsidiary are accounted for as a financial asset, associate, joint venture or others as appropriate from the date when control is lost.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Group reassesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control.
In the Company’s statement of financial position as set out in Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment loss. The carrying amount of the investments is reduced to its recoverable amount on an individual basis, if it is higher than the recoverable amount. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, except for a freehold land that has an unlimited useful life, and accumulated impairment losses. The freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less accumulated impairment losses of property, plant and equipment, over their estimated useful lives as set out below from the date on which they are available for use and after taking into account their estimated residual values, using the straight-line method. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis and depreciated separately:
| Buildings | 50 years |
|---|---|
| Leasehold improvements | 4–10 years |
| Furniture, fixtures and office equipment | 3–5 years |
| Plant and machineries | 5 years |
| Motor vehicles | 4–5 years |
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the item is derecognised.

Financial instruments
Financial assets
Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets are recognised when and only when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments and on a trade date basis.
A financial asset is derecognised when and only when (i) the Group’s contractual rights to future cash flows from the financial asset expire or (ii) the Group transfers the financial asset and either (a) it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or (b) it neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset but it does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay.
Classification and measurement
Financial assets (except for trade receivables without a significant financing component) are initially recognised at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets. Such trade receivables are initially measured at their transaction price.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as (i) measured at amortised cost; (ii) debt investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; (iii) equity investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; or (iv) measured at FVPL.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing them, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first annual reporting period following the change in the business model.
(1) Financial assets measured at amortised cost
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVPL:
-
(i) it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
(ii) its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses arising from impairment, derecognition or through the amortisation process are recognised in profit or loss.
The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost include trade and other receivables, restricted bank balances and bank balances and cash.

(2) Financial assets measured at FVPL
These investments include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at FVPL, financial assets resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies and financial assets that are otherwise required to be measured at FVPL. They are carried at fair value, with any resultant gain and loss recognised in profit or loss, which does not include any dividend or interest earned on the financial assets. Dividend or interest income is presented separately from fair value gain or loss.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it is:
-
(i) acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term;
-
(ii) part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking on initial recognition; or
-
(iii) a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract or not a designated and effective hedging instrument.
Derivatives embedded in a hybrid contract in which a host is an asset within the scope of IFRS 9 are not separated from the host. Instead, the entire hybrid contract is assessed for classification.
Financial assets are designated at initial recognition as at FVPL only if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains or losses on them on different bases.
The Group’s financial assets mandatorily measured at FVPL include the other investments in unlisted investments.
Financial liabilities
Recognition and derecognition
Financial liabilities are recognised when and only when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
A financial liability is derecognised when and only when the liability is extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and measurement
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at their fair value plus, in the case of financial liabilities not carried at FVPL, transaction costs that are direct attributable to the issue of the financial liabilities.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, interest-bearing borrowings and lease liabilities. All financial liabilities, except for financial liabilities at FVPL, are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, unless the effect of discounting would be insignificant, in which case they are stated at cost.

Impairment of financial assets and other items under IFRS 9
The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses (“ECL”) on financial assets that are measured at amortised cost which the impairment requirements apply in accordance with IFRS 9. Except for the specific treatments as detailed below, at each reporting date, the Group measures a loss allowance for a financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL if the credit risk on that financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial asset at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.
Measurement of ECL
ECL is a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses (i.e. the present value of all cash shortfalls) over the expected life of the financial instrument.
For financial assets, a credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to an entity under the contract and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive.
Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument while 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
Where ECL is measured on a collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped based on the past due information of shared credit risk.
Definition of default
The Group considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk management purposes as historical experience indicates that the Group may not receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full if the financial instrument that meets any of the following criteria:
-
(i) information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group, in full (without taking into account any collaterals held by the Group); or
-
(ii) there is a breach of financial covenants by the counterparty.
Irrespective of the above analysis, the Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.
Assessment of significant increase in credit risk
In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, except for the trade receivables from associates and related companies for which the Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate.

Financial instruments (Continued)
Impairment of financial assets and other items under IFRS 9 (Continued) Low credit risk
A financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk if:
-
(i) it has a low risk of default;
-
(ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term; and
-
(iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.
As detailed in Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group’s restricted bank balances and bank balances and cash are determined to have low credit risk.
Simplified approach of ECL
For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECL. The Group recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECL at each reporting date and has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Credit-impaired financial asset
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidences that a financial asset is credit-impaired include observable data about the following events:
-
(a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower.
-
(b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event.
-
(c) the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider.
-
(d) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
-
(e) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
-
(f) the purchase or origination of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses.
Write-off
The Group writes off a financial asset when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flows on a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due, taking into account legal advice if appropriate. Any subsequent recovery is recognised in profit or loss.

Cash equivalents
For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash equivalents represent short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of bank overdrafts (if any).
Revenue recognition
Interest income
Interest income from financial assets is recognised using the effective interest method. For financial assets measured at amortised cost that are not credit-impaired, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the assets while it is applied to the amortised cost (i.e. the gross carrying amount net of loss allowance) in case of creditimpaired financial assets.
Revenue from contracts with customers within IFRS 15
The Group adopts a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in contract Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the Group satisfies a performance obligation
Nature of goods or services
The natures of the goods or services provided by the Group are (i) manufacturing and distribution animal feed additives products and (ii) distribution of human food ingredient products.
Identification of performance obligations
At contract inception, the Group assesses the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and identifies as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer either:
-
(a) a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or
-
(b) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.
A good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct if both of the following criteria are met:
-
(a) the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e. the good or service is capable of being distinct); and
-
(b) the Group’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e. the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).

Revenue recognition (Continued)
Revenue from contracts with customers within IFRS 15 (Continued) Timing of revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when (or as) the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset.
The Group transfers control of a good or service over time and, therefore, satisfies a performance obligation and recognises revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met:
-
(a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs;
-
(b) the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in progress) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or
-
(c) the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, the Group satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the promised asset. In determining when the transfer of control occurs, the Group considers the concept of control and such indicators as legal title, physical possession, right to payment, significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and customer acceptance.
Manufacturing and distribution income are recognised at a point in time at which the customer obtains the control of the promised asset, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and the title is passed.
The Group has applied the practical expedient in paragraph 63 of IFRS 15 and does not adjust the consideration for the effect of the significant financing component if the period of financing is one year or less.
Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in the currency of RM, which is also the functional currency of the operating subsidiaries of the Group in Malaysia, and rounded to the nearest thousands unless otherwise indicated.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Foreign currency translation (Continued)
The results and financial position of all the group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency (“foreign operations”) are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented, are translated at the closing rate at the end of each reporting period;
-
income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rate;
-
all resulting exchange differences arising from the above translation and exchange differences arising from a monetary item that forms part of the Group’s net investment in a foreign operation are recognised as a separate component of equity;
-
on the disposal of a foreign operation, which includes a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation and a disposal involving the loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to the foreign operation that is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the separate component of equity is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the gain or loss on disposal is recognised;
-
on the partial disposal of the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation which does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognised in the separate component of equity is re-attributed to the non-controlling interests in that foreign operation and are not reclassified to profit or loss; and
-
on all other partial disposals, which includes partial disposal of associates that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control, the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of exchange differences recognised in the separate component of equity is reclassified to profit or loss.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost, which comprises all costs of purchase and, where applicable, other costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, is calculated using the weighted average cost method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
When inventories are sold/utilised, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period of the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Impairment of other assets, other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews internal and external sources of information to determine whether there is any indication that its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and the Company’s investment in subsidiaries may be impaired or impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may be reduced. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated, based on the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the smallest group of assets that generates cash flows independently (i.e. cash-generating unit).
If the recoverable amount of an asset or a 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. Impairment losses are recognised as an expense in profit or loss immediately.
A reversal of impairment loss is limited to the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods. Reversal of impairment loss is recognised as income in profit or loss immediately.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs incurred, net of any investment income on the temporary investment of the specific borrowings, that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, i.e. assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Leases
The Group as lessee
The Group leases various properties. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 2 to 5 years. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may be used as security for borrowing purposes.
An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Group determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal form of a lease.
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset (included in property, plant and equipment) and corresponding liability at the date of which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost less impairment and depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis after initial recognition.
At the inception of a contract that contains a lease component, as a lessee, the Group allocated the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone-price. The Group, as a lessee assessed its leases for non-lease components and separated non-lease components from lease components for certain classes of assets if the non-lease components were material.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Leases (Continued)
The Group as lessee (Continued)
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments that are not paid:
-
fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
-
the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
-
payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the followings:
-
the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
-
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentive received;
-
any initial direct costs; and
-
restoration costs unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.
The Group has applied the practical expedient provided in Amendments to IFRS 16: COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions and does not assess whether eligible rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modification. The Group accounts for any change in lease payments resulting from the rent concession the same way it would account for the change applying IFRS 16 if the change were not a lease modification.
The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic and only if all of the following conditions are met:
-
(a) the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;
-
(b) any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and
-
(c) there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.
The Group has applied the practical expedient consistently to all eligible rent concessions with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances.

Employee benefits
Short term employee benefits
Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees.
Defined contribution plans
The Group contributes to defined contribution retirement schemes which are available to all employees. Contributions to the schemes by the Group and employees are calculated as a percentage of employees’ basic salaries. The obligations for contributions to defined contribution retirement scheme are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as incurred. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund.
Taxation
The charge for current income tax is based on the results for the period as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of each reporting period.
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of each reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, any deferred tax arising from initial recognition of goodwill; or other asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss is not recognised.
The deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is recovered or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, tax losses and credits can be utilised.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investment in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made by the management of the Group in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. They affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an ongoing basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Where appropriate, revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period of revision and future periods, in case the revision also affects future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
- (i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment (including right-of-use assets)
The management of the Group determines the estimated useful lives of the Group’s property, plant and equipment based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of the relevant assets of similar nature and functions. The estimated useful lives could be different as a result of technical innovations which could affect the related depreciation charges included in profit or loss.
(ii) Impairment of property, plant and equipment (including right-of-use assets)
The management of the Group determines whether the Group’s property, plant and equipment are impaired when an indication of impairment exists. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the property, plant and equipment, which is equal to the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Estimating the value in use requires the management of the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the property, plant and equipment and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Any impairment will be charged to profit or loss.
(iii) Impairment of receivables
Allowance for ECL is made when the Group will not collect all amounts due. The allowance is determined by grouping together debtors with similar risk characteristics and collectively, or individually assessing them for likelihood of recovery. The allowance reflects either 12-month ECL, or lifetime ECL depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk except for trade receivables and contract assets for which loss allowance is determined on lifetime basis. Judgement has been applied in determining the level of allowance for ECL taking into account the credit risk characteristics of debtors and the likelihood of recovery assessed on a combination of collective and individual bases as relevant. While allowances are considered to be appropriate, changes in estimation basis or in economic conditions could lead to a change in the level of allowances recorded and consequently on the charge or credit to profit or loss.
(iv) Write down of inventories
The management of the Group reviews the condition of inventories at the end of each reporting period and inventories that are identified as obsolete, slow-moving or no longer recoverable. The management of the write down the Group carries out the inventory review on a product-by-product basis and write down the inventories, if any, by reference to the latest market prices and current market conditions.
(v) Income taxes
Significant estimates are required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain where the final tax outcome of these matters may be different from the amounts that were initially recorded and such differences will affect the income tax and deferred tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Information reported to the executive Directors of the Company, being identified as the chief operating decision makers (“CODM”), for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on types of goods delivered or services rendered. No operating segments identified by the CODM have been aggregated in arriving at the reportable segments of the Group.
Specifically, the Group’s reportable and operating segments are as follows:
-
(1) Animal feed additives products segment: manufacturing and distribution of animal feed additives products; and
-
(2) Human food ingredient products segment: distribution of human food ingredient products.
Segment revenue and results
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
Segment revenue represents revenue derived from (i) manufacturing and distribution of animal feed additives products and (ii) distribution of human food ingredient products.
Segment results represent the gross profit less selling and distribution costs and reversal of or provision for loss allowance of trade receivables incurred by each segment without allocation of other income, administrative and other operating expenses, finance costs, listing expenses and income tax expenses. This is the measure reported to the CODM of the Group for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment.
No analysis of the Group’s assets and liabilities by operating segments is presented as it is not regularly provided to the CODM for review.
In addition, the Group’s place of domicile is Malaysia, where the central management and control is located.

----- End of picture text -----
16(b) Loss allowance
The Group determines the loss allowance by grouping together trade receivables with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessing them for likelihood of recovery, taking into account prevailing economic conditions. For trade receivables relating to accounts which are long overdue with significant amounts or known insolvencies or non-response to collection activities, they are assessed individually for impairment allowance.
The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measure ECL which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and the movement is as follows:
| 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| RM’000 | RM’000 | |
| At the beginning of the reporting period 1,809 (Reversal of) Provision for loss allowance of trade receivables (133) |
1,522 287 |
|
| At the end of the reporting period 1,676 |
1,809 |
As at 31 December 2020, a decrease in overdue trade receivable balances resulted in a reversal of provision for loss allowance.
As at 31 December 2019, an increase in trade receivable balances with days past due over 90 days or the increase in the expected loss rates resulted in an addition in loss allowance.
For the purposes of estimating the ECL, the trade receivables are grouped according to whether they are secured by collateral. The Group applies a provision matrix to those groups which is based on the historical observed loss rates over the expected life of the trade receivables which is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At the end of each reporting period, the grouping and the historical observed loss rates are updated in light of the latest information that is relevant for the credit risk assessment and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise of lease liabilities, interest-bearing borrowings, other investments, restricted bank balances and bank balances and cash. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise and maintain finance for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial instruments such as trade and other receivables/payables, which arise directly from its business activities.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are price risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group generally adopts conservative strategies on its risk management and limits the Group’s exposure to these risks to a minimum level as follows:
Price risk
The Group is exposed to price risk arising from its other investments in unlisted investments which are classified as financial assets at FVPL.
At the end of each reporting period, if the fair value of the other investments has been 5% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the Group’s pre-tax results would increase/decrease by approximately RM2,654,000 and RM166,000 for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, respectively.

29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued)
Price risk (Continued)
The sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the reasonably possible changes in the fair value of the other investments had occurred at the end of the reporting period and had been applied to the exposure to price risk in existence at that date. The stated changes represent the management’s assessment of reasonably possible changes in the fair value of the other investments over the next 12 months after the end of each reporting period.
In the opinion of the management of the Group, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the price risk because the exposure at the end of each reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019.
Foreign currency risk
The Group’s transactions are mainly denominated in RM, US$, RMB and HK$.
Certain financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective group entities and therefore exposed to foreign currency risk. The carrying amounts of those financial assets and liabilities are analysed as follows:
| Financial assets | Financial | liabilities | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | 2020 | 2019 | ||
| RM’000 | RM’000 | RM’000 | RM’000 | ||

Foreign currency risk (Continued)
The following table indicates the approximate change in the Group’s pre-tax results if exchange rates of US$ and RMB had changed against the functional currencies of the respective group entities by 10% and all other variables were held constant at the end of each reporting period.
| 2020 2019 Increase (decrease) in foreign exchange rates Effect on profit before tax Increase (decrease) in foreign exchange rates Effect on profit before tax RM’000 RM’000 |
2020 2019 Increase (decrease) in foreign exchange rates Effect on profit before tax Increase (decrease) in foreign exchange rates Effect on profit before tax RM’000 RM’000 |
2020 2019 Increase (decrease) in foreign exchange rates Effect on profit before tax Increase (decrease) in foreign exchange rates Effect on profit before tax RM’000 RM’000 |

(550) |
| RMB 10% |
(25) 10% |
(20) |
| (10%) | 25 (10%) |
20 |
The sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the changes in foreign exchange rates had occurred at the end of each reporting period and had been applied to the Group’s exposure to currency risk for financial instruments in existence at that date, and that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.
The stated changes represent management’s assessment of reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates over the next 12 months after the end of each reporting period.
In the opinion of the management of the Group, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of each reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that debtors will default on their obligations to repay the amounts due to the Group, resulting in a loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk is mainly attributable to trade and other receivables, restricted bank balances and bank balances and cash. The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by selecting the counterparties with reference to their past credit history and/or market reputation. The Group’s maximum exposure to the credit risk is summarised as follows:
| 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| RM’000 | RM’000 | |
| Trade and other receivables 25,722 Restricted bank balances 1,670 Bank balances and cash 15,171 |

29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued)
Credit risk (Continued)
The Group trades with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures.
The management considers the credit risk in respect of restricted bank balances and bank balances and cash is minimal because the counter-parties are authorised financial institution with high credit ratings.
The management limits the Group’s exposure to credit risk by taking timely actions once there is any indication of recoverability problem of each individual debtor.
The management also reviews the recoverable amount of each individual debtor, including related and third parties, at the end of each reporting period to ensure adequate allowance is made for irrecoverable amount.
At 31 December 2020 and 2019, the Group had a concentration of credit risk as approximately 2.6% and 11.6% of the total trade receivables was due from the Group’s largest trade debtor, respectively, and approximately 27.8% and 27.9% of the total trade receivables was due from the Group’s five largest trade debtors, respectively.
Liquidity risk
The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility. The Group has no specific policy for managing its liquidity. The undiscounted contractual maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities at the end of each reporting period, based on the contractual undiscounted payments, is summarised below:

30. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following presents the assets measured at fair value or required to disclose their fair value in the Historical Financial Information on a recurring basis across the three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined in IFRS 13 “ Fair Value Measurement ” with the fair value measurement categorised in its entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The levels of inputs are defined as follows:
-
