2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

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 the 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 which are measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Malaysian Ringgit (‘‘RM’’) and all amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand (‘‘RM’000’’), unless otherwise indicated.

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.

3. FUTURE CHANGES IN IFRSs

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 in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020.

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.

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 (the ‘‘Financial Year’’) and 2019:

Manufacturing
Distribution
2020
RM’000
Approximate %
39,055

66.3
2019
RM’000
Approximate %
47,482
37.7
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 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

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 standard operating procedures (the ‘‘SOP’’) 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 invest the unused 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.
