Chairman’s Statement
Dear fellow shareholder,
I wish to report that the financial period ended 31[st] December 2020 has been a challenging one for Timah Resources Limited (“TML”).
Coronavirus Pandemic
As is the case with other businesses, the Covid-19 global pandemic has presented significant challenges to TML's operations. Despite this, I am pleased to inform you that we have adapted well to the difficulties faced and thus continue to remain viable.
Since 18 March 2020, the Malaysian Government has imposed different stages of Movement Control Order (“MCO”) as a means of curbing the spread of the virus in the country. At the time of writing, Malaysia is facing its third wave of Covid-19 which has proven to be more severe than the previous two outbreaks.
The Power Generation sector is classified as an essential business and was thus allowed to operate throughout the pandemic. With strict Standard Operating Procedures in place, we have been able to maintain zero Covid-19 positive cases amongst our workforce to date. We recognise the serious threat and danger that the virus poses and we strive to keep our employees safe at all times.
Productivity affected by MCO
Inevitably, the MCO has disrupted our supply chain during the year:
-
a. Lower processing activity of our milling partner, Prolific Yield Oil Mill, during the MCO period has reduced the supply of our feedstock; and
-
b. Late delivery of essential spare parts and provision of engineering support during the MCO period has significantly delayed some of our maintenance and repair.
Due to these factors, the Biogas Plant only generated and exported 21,267 MWh of renewable energy during the year. This was 14% lower than the preceding year 2019 (24,669 MWh).
Restructuring of shareholding in subsidiary company
On 8 August 2020, our subsidiary, Mistral Engineering Sdn Bhd, completed its internal restructuring exercise pursuant to the directive from the Sustainable Energy Development Authority of Malaysia (“SEDA”).

==> picture [611 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [611 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [611 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
I am pleased to report that SEDA has on 18 December 2020 confirmed that Mistral’s new shareholding is now compliant with rule 3(c)(i) of the Renewable Energy (Feed-in Approval and Feed-in-Tariff Rate Rate) Rules 2011 for Mistral to maintain its Feed-in Approval.
As a result of this restructuring (involving the partial settlement of inter-company debt), finance costs dropped 20% in the second half of 2020.
For more details, please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 30 December 2020.
Conclusion
On behalf of the management team, I would like to thank you for your support and look forward to further progress in the next financial year.
_______ Tan Sri Dr. Mah King Thian Executive Chairman

Lee Chong Hoe Jack Tian Hock Tan Derrick Martin De Souza
Soong Swee Koon
Directors have been in office since the start of the year to the date of this report unless otherwise stated.
Principal Activities
The principal activity of TML during the year is renewable energy power generation by its subsidiary, Mistral Engineering Sdn Bhd (“Mistral”).
Change of Financial Year End
Following the announcement on 30 August 2019, the company announced a change of financial year end from 30 June to 31 December to align its Australian reporting obligations with those of its overseas operations.
Accordingly, the comparative figures for the income statements, statements of changes in equity, cash flow statements and the related notes are for six months from 1 July 2019 to 31 December 2019.

==> picture [425 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

Dividends
No dividends were paid or recommended for payment during or since the end of the financial year.
Review of Operations
The Malaysian Government imposed different stages of Movement Control Order (“MCO”) since 18 March 2020 as a means to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the country. Malaysia is currently fighting the third wave of Covid-19 which is more challenging than the previous waves.
The Power Generation sector was classified as an essential business and thus allowed to operate with strict Standard Operating Procedures in place.
Travel restrictions and lockdowns under the MCO have significantly disrupted our supply chain:
-
a. Lower processing of Fresh Fruit Bunches by our milling partner, Prolific Yield Oil Mill, during the MCO period has disrupted the supply of our feedstock; and
-
b. Late delivery of essential spare parts and provision of engineering support during the MCO period have significantly delayed some of our maintenance and repair, thereby reducing our operating capacity. The service and maintenance costs have also increased as a result of these mobilisation difficulties.
Hence, for this financial year the Biogas Plant only generated and exported 21,267 MWh of renewable energy, which was 14% lower than the preceding year 2019 (24,669 MWh).
The Group performed retrospective adjustment for the effect of the change of accounting policy during the year, which resulted in a reclassification of its main business asset (biogas power plant) from financial asset to property, plant and equipment. This retrospective adjustment was done to present a clearer perspective of the beneficial ownership of the biogas power plant. The reclassification does not affect the Group’s cash flow. Please refer to Note 1(a) of the financial statement for more details.
After balance sheet date events
There have been no subsequent events that would have a material impact on the financial report for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Future Developments, Prospects and Business Strategies
Disclosure of additional information regarding likely developments in the operations and expected results is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to TML.
Environmental Issues
There have been no environmental issues that would have a material impact on TML during the year.
Shares under Options
No Options were issued or recommended for issue during or since the end of the financial year.

Whilst it is not mandatory to adopt the Council’s recommendations, the Listing Rules of ASX stipulates that a listed entity is required to provide a statement disclosing the extent to which it has adopted the recommendations in the Reporting Period and, if it has not adopted any of the recommendations, to explain why.
This Corporate Governance Statement cogently sets out TML’s current compliance, as at the date of 22 February 2021, with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s 4[th] edition Corporate Governance Principles and recommendations ( Recommendations ).

The Board meets regularly to review TML’s performance and strives to ensure that it is making satisfactory progress in line with its vision. Its roles and responsibilities are detailed in the Constitution as well as the Board Charter.
To assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities, the following standing Committees of its members have been established:

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)
Each Committee has its own Charter that describes the roles and responsibilities delegated to the Committee by the Board. Charters for the Board and its Committees are reviewed by the Board annually and were last reviewed on 22 February 2021.
The Board delegates the responsibility of implementing the strategic direction and managing the dayto-day operations of TML to the directors.
Background Checks on New Appointment
When the Board agrees to appoint a new director, appropriate checks on their background and details of any conflicting interest that may influence his or her capacity to bring about independent judgment on the Board is carried out, using the services of external consultants and/or any known information available, if considered necessary.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for deliberating upon and making recommendations to the Board about the process for nomination and selection of directors for the Board, the Board committees and the performance of the directors.
Under TML's Remuneration and Nomination Charter:
-
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee must ensure that a candidate for directorship has the appropriate range of skills, experience and expertise that will best complement Board effectiveness and TML’s business;

Essentially, this policy is in place to ensure employees receive fair and equal treatment in all aspects of their work. Discrimination, bullying, harassment and victimisation is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. This policy is available on TML’s website.

Reviews and Evaluations
Under the Board Charter, it is a requirement for the performance of the Board and for individual directors to be assessed each year. TML has a formal process for evaluating the effectiveness, process and structure of the Board, its committees and individual directors. The Board is committed to regular assessment of its effectiveness and believes that the contribution of individual directors is essential to improve the governance and guidance of TML.
The review of the Board and its directors is focused on matters such as the structure, effectiveness and contributions made by each director and is working towards achieving the strategic objectives of TML.

Performance reviews and evaluation for the senior executive are conducted at least annually and have been conducted for the Reporting period.
Principle 2 Structure the Board to add value
Board Composition
As of the date of this report, the Board is comprised of 3 Non-Executive, Independent Directors, 3 Executive Directors and 2 Alternate Directors.
The directors have elected Tan Sri Dr. Mah King Thian as the Chairman.
The name, qualifications and tenure of each director is set out on page 7 - 12 of the directors’ report.
The Role of the Chairman
The Board recognises the principle that the Chairman should be an independent director but believes that Tan Sri Dr. Mah King Thian is the most appropriate person to lead the Board as Chairman following listing, given his long-standing experience and business relationships. The Board is confident that Tan Sri Dr. Mah is able to bring quality and independent judgment to relevant issues falling within the scope of the role of Chairman.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)
Board Skills Matrix
TML seeks to maintain a Board of Directors with a broad range of financial and other skills, experience and knowledge relevant to overseeing the business of a renewable energy company.

Independence of Directors
TML considers a Director to be independent if the Director is independent of management and free of any business or other relationships that could materially interfere, or be perceived as interfering, with the exercise of an unfettered and independent judgement in relation to matters concerning TML.
The Company considers that Jack Tan, Lee Chong Hoe and Derrick Martin De Souza are independent directors for the reasons given below:
Jack Tan has been a director of the Company since 16 February 2007, and acted as executive chairman from that date until the date of ASX listing. He holds less than 1% of the total issued shares in the Company. Although Mr. Tan has been a director and executive of the Company for some time, this was during the time that the Company’s business activities were investment in Vietnam and later mineral exploration. Mr. Tan has had no involvement in the Company’s current business, namely the operation of a biogas power plant in Malaysia and sale of energy through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Mistral Engineering Sdn Bhd, which was acquired by the Company on 10 September 2015. As such, the Company considers that Mr. Tan is an independent director of the Company.
21 | P a g e
==> picture [559 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [559 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
Corporate Governance Statement (continued)
Lee Chong Hoe’s appointment as director of the Company took effect on 16 September 2015. Mr. Lee is a lawyer in Malaysia, who has in the past provided legal services to Cepatwawasan Group Berhad ( CGB ), the parent company of Cash Nexus which holds shares in the Company. Mr. Lee does not hold any shares in the Company. Given that this past relationship is with CGB and not the Company or any of its child entities, the Company considers Mr. Lee as an independent director of the Company.
Derrick Martin De Souza’s appointment as director of the Company took effect on 8 June 2018. He holds less than 0.01% of the total issued shares in the Company. He has worked as a consultant to businesses not related to TML for the past 15 years and his work experiences include working in various capacities in accounting, Australian and international taxation, auditing, international banking, insurance, mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructuring for stock market listings, valuations and strategic planning and financial advisory. The Company considers Mr. De Souza as an independent director of the Company.
The Company’s Board Charter states that the Board will comprise a majority of independent nonexecutive directors. The Company currently does not comply with this requirement of its Board Charter for the reasons given below, but the Board will aim to comply with this requirement at a later stage.
The Company has 6 directors, 3 of whom are independent directors. Given the size of the Company, the Board believes that it has an appropriate size and mix of skills to provide independent and transparent decisions for the benefit of the Company, despite not having the recommended majority independent directors.
Instead, the Board has implemented several policies and practices to enable it to make transparent and independent decisions. For example, directors are not allowed to be present during discussions or decision making on matters in which they have or could be seen to potentially have a material conflict of interest. In addition, directors are excluded from taking part in the appointment of third party service providers where the director has an interest, which provides further separation and safeguards to independence.
Remuneration and Nomination Committee
The purpose of this committee is to assist the Board and make recommendations to it in relation to the appointment and remuneration of new Directors (both Executive and Non-Executive) and senior executives. The Committee is to have a minimum of 3 members. At any time the composition of the Board permits, the Committee will also consist only of Non-Executive Directors, and a majority of Independent Directors, and will be chaired by an Independent Chairman appointed by the Board.
The committee comprises the following members:
-
Mr Lee Chong Hoe as Chairman;
-
Mr Derrick Martin De Souza; and
-
Mr Jack Tian Hock Tan.

The Committee has adopted a formal Charter that is required to be reviewed annually. The Charter was most recently reviewed and updated on 26 February 2020. A copy of the Charter is available on TML’s website.
The names of the current Directors and their experience, length of service as a Director and membership of Board Committees are set out in the Directors’ Report for the Reporting Period contained in the Annual Report.
Directors’ Development and Induction
The Board receives regular progress reports on financial, commercial and operational updates on the Company’s business and may request elucidation or explanation of those reports. If required, Directors will be updated with industry developments, regulatory changes and ongoing strategy reviews.
Directors are otherwise encouraged to maintain the skills and knowledge they need to perform their roles by attending relevant courses, seminars and conferences. With the prior approval of the Chairman, which may not be unreasonably withheld, each Director has the right to seek independent professional advice at the cost of TML concerning any aspect of TML’s operations or undertakings in order to fulfil their duties and responsibilities as Directors, and to ensure independent decision making.

Principle 3 Act ethically and responsibly

The Board has adopted two Codes of Conduct for employees, and directors and senior executives respectively, which establishes a clear set of values that places emphasis on a culture encompassing strong corporate governance, sound business practice and good ethical conduct.
Recognising the increased role played by women and minorities in the workforce, TML has also adopted a Diversity Policy which is managed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. Key to this policy is the establishment of measurable gender diversity objectives.
Recognising that individuals connected with TML will sometimes be in possession of market-sensitive information, TML has adopted a Securities Trading Policy. Compliant with ASX Listing Rule 12.9, this policy also restricts any transactions in TML’s Shares by TML directors, officers, consultants, senior management and other employees and related persons who, in the course of their interactions with TML, are in possession of such market-sensitive information.
Whistleblower policy
TML is committed to maintaining a high standard of integrity, investor confidence and good corporate governance. To achieve this, it is crucial that all of our employees and partners understand, follow, and adhere to our corporate values. We have put guidelines and policies in place to ensure we live by these values in our day-to-day work.
Together with our values, we want to have feedback and encourage people to speak up when they see activity or behaviour that they feel is wrong or does not match our values.
The goal of this policy is to provide very clear guidelines on how we approach and manage this feedback. The Board did not receive any feedback during the period of review.
Under the period of review, there is no report/feedback received by the Board.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)
Anti-bribery and corruption policy
TML strictly prohibits bribery or other improper payments in any of its business operations. This prohibition applies to all business activities, anywhere in the world, irrespective of involvement of government officials or other commercial enterprises. A bribe or other improper payment to secure a business advantage is never acceptable and can expose individuals and TML to possible criminal prosecution, reputational harm and/or other serious consequences.
The prohibition on bribery and other improper payments applies to all business activities, but is particularly important when dealing with government officials. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2018 and similar laws in other countries strictly prohibit improper payments to gain a business advantage and impose severe penalties for violations.
The Board is not aware of any instances of bribery during the periods of review.

The committee comprises the following members:
-
Mr Jack Tian Hock Tan as Chairman;
-
Mr Lee Chong Hoe; and
-

External Auditor
TML has appointed Hall Chadwick as its external auditor. Their key responsibility is to audit and review the financial reports of TML and provide an independent and professional opinion on whether TML’s financial report gives a true and fair view of TML’s financial position and financial performance and whether it complies with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)
Annual General Meeting (“AGM”)
The Board encourages full participation by shareholders at the AGM to ask questions and make comments about TML’s operations and the performance of the Board and senior management. Notices for general meetings and other communications with shareholder are drafted to ensure that they are honest and accurate, and that the nature of the business of the meeting is clearly stated and explained where necessary. Important issues are presented to the shareholders as single resolutions. The shareholders are requested to vote on matters such as the election and aggregate remuneration of Directors, the adoption of the Company’s Remuneration Report, the granting of options and shares to Directors and changes to the Constitution. Substantive resolutions are decided by a poll rather than by a show of hands.
AGM will be held at our Sydney corporate office with the External Auditor’s attendance to answer shareholders’ questions. Overseas Directors can participate in the AGM through video or audio conferencing.
Principle 7 Recognise and manage risk
The Board is responsible for setting TML’s risk strategy and risk management. This responsibility is assisted by the Audit and Risk Committee.
Internal Audit
TML does not have an internal audit function but has outsourced it to an internal audit firm in relation to group’s subsidiary Mistral Engineering Sdn Bhd. The process for evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of its risk management and internal control processes is overseen by the Audit and Risk Committee in accordance with its charter.
Risk Management Framework and Internal Control
The Board recognises the importance of a sound risk management framework and internal control system to safeguard shareholders’ investments and TML’s assets.
The Board affirms its responsibility for the adequacy and effectiveness of TML’s System of internal control. This includes reviewing the adequacy and integrity of financial, operational and compliance controls and risk management procedures.
In view of the limitations that are inherent in any system of internal control, the Board ensures that this system is designed to manage TML’s risks within an accepted risk profile. Hence, the system can provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement of management and financial information and records or against operational failures, fraud or financial loss.
The Board has established an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing significant risks faced by TML. This ongoing process which includes updating the system of internal controls when there are changes in the business environment or regulatory guidelines, is reviewed by the Board. The Board is of the view that the risk management framework and the system of internal controls in place for the period under review, is sound and sufficient enough to safeguard the shareholders’ investments and TML’s assets.
28 | P a g e

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)
A formal risk management framework has been established to ensure that an organised and consistent approach is practised in the ongoing process of identifying and assessing various critical risks that are considered likely to affect the profitable operation of the business. These include operational risk, market risk, legal risk and environmental risk. After the review and taking into consideration the nature of TML’s business, the Directors are of the view that TML is not materially exposed to legal and market risks and therefore have concluded to focus on the environmental and operational risks relevant to its business segment.
The Board is supported by the Audit and Risk Committee in overseeing the risk management efforts within TML. The management has worked within the approved and adopted framework for principal risks affecting TML’s strategic business objectives throughout the period. Additional reviews will be carried out as and when required annually. The ongoing implementation is monitored by the Management and is reported quarterly to the Board. The outcome of such risk management efforts is a database of all major risks, and their controls or action plans to mitigate such risks were compiled to produce a risk profile.
TML has also implemented a system of internal controls as set out in the Operations Manual. The Board will review from time to time and update the financial authority limits set out therein as and when necessary. Such a system of internal controls and financial authority limits serves as a check and balance mechanism on TML’s daily operations.
Review has been undertaken by the Board during the period and there is no actual, suspected or alleged fraud affecting TML.
Principle 8 Remunerate fairly and responsibly
The Board oversees Executive and Non-Executive Director remuneration arrangements and has established a Remuneration Committee to assist it in this regard.
Remuneration Report
A Remuneration Report required under Section 300A(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) is provided in page 13 - 16 of the Directors’ Report.

Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies
Basis of Preparation
These general purpose consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. TML a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using reverse acquisition accounting. In reverse acquisition accounting, the cost of the business combination is deemed to have been incurred by the legal subsidiary Mistral Engineering Sdn Bhd (the acquirer for accounting purposes) in the form of equity instruments issued to the owners of the legal parent, TML (the acquire for accounting purposes).
The ultimate holding company of TML is Cepatwawasan Group Berhad, a company incorporated in Malaysia.
The financial statements were authorised for issue on 22 February 2021 by the Board.
Functional and Presentation Currency
The functional currency of each of TML’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Malaysia Ringgit which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.
Change of Financial Year End
Following the announcement on 30 August 2019 the company announced a change of financial year end from 30 June to 31 December to align its Australian reporting obligations with those of its overseas operations.
Accordingly, the comparative figures for the income statements, statements of changes in equity, cash flow statements and the related notes are for six months from 1 July 2019 to 31 December 2019.
Going Concern
Notwithstanding that the Group incurred a loss of RM175,529 for financial year end 31 December 2020, the financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The ultimate holding company has agreed to provide continue financial support to the extent that the Group will be able to meet it liabilities as and when they fall due during the next twelve months period ending 31 December 2020.
The Group’s budget indicates the Group will be profitable for the 12 months ended 31 December 2020.
Based on the above basis, the directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
(a) Change of Accounting Policy
During the period the Group reviewed the basis of IC 12 Service Concession Agreements (“IC 12”) adoption to the biogas power plant. The adoption of IC 12 was based on the Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreement (“REPPA”) signed between its subsidiary company, Mistral Engineering Sdn Bhd (“Mistral”) and Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (“SESB”).
The initial adoption of IC 12 had classified the biogas power plant under financial asset instead of property, plant and equipment which assume that the Group did not have the actual beneficial ownership of the biogas power plant.
A detail reassessment had been performed on the terms and conditions of the REPPA. It has been decided that the change will provide more relevant and reliable information.
A reversal of the IC 12 adoption was performed retrospectively. The key changes include reclassification of the biogas power plant as a property, plant and equipment, and recomputation of the actual depreciation of the biogas power plant.
The following tables below provide a summary of the amounts of adjustments for each financial statement line item affected by the reversal of the IC 12 adoption for the reporting period ending 31 December 2020, as well as the comparative periods ending 31 December 2019.

(b) Property, Plant and Equipment
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to TML and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts of the property, plant and equipment and borrowings costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met.
Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, TML recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

==> picture [561 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Notes to Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2020
Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
| Buildings and infrastructure | 5% - 7% |
|---|---|
| Heavy equipment, plant and machinery | 6% - 10% |
| Furniture, fittings and equipment | 10% |
| Leasehold land | 1.59% |
Assets under construction are not depreciated as these assets are not yet available for use.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. 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 asset) is included in the profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
(c) Loans and Borrowings
Loans and borrowings and payables are recognised initially at net of directly attributable transaction costs.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.
This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
(d) Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the period comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

==> picture [561 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the period as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
(e) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authorities. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. In the statement of financial position, trade receivables and payables are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(f) Foreign Currency Transaction and Balances
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in other comprehensive income, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Group Companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations, whose functional currency is different from TML’s presentation currency, are translated as follows:
-
assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period;
-
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
-
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. The cumulative amount of these differences is reclassified into profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of.
(g) Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the entity commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments (except for the trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.

Notes to Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2020
Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the receivables do not contain a significant financing component or if the practical expedient was applied as specified in AASB 15.63.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at:
-
amortised cost; or
-
fair value through profit or loss.
A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit and loss if the financial liability is:
-
a contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3: Business Combinations applies;
-
held for trading; or
-
initially designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
All other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the financial asset or liability. That is, it is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition.
A financial liability is held for trading if:
-
it is incurred for the purpose of repurchasing or repaying in the near term;
-
part of a portfolio where there is an actual pattern of short-term profit taking; or
-
a derivative financial instrument (except for a derivative that is in a financial guarantee contract or a derivative that is in a effective hedging relationships).
Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship are recognised in profit or loss.
The change in fair value of the financial liability attributable to changes in the issuer's credit risk is taken to other comprehensive income and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Instead, they are transferred to retained earnings upon derecognition of the financial liability. If taking the change in credit risk in other comprehensive income enlarges or creates an accounting mismatch, then these gains or losses should be taken to profit or loss rather than other comprehensive income.
A financial liability cannot be reclassified.

Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at fair values (and if not designated as at fair value through profit or loss and do not arise from a transfer of a financial asset) and subsequently measured at the higher of:
-
the amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with AASB 9.3.25.3; and
-
the amount initially recognised less the accumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the revenue recognition policies.
Financial assets
Financial assets are subsequently measured at:
-
amortised cost;
-
fair value through other comprehensive income; or
-
- fair value through profit or loss.
Measurement is on the basis of two primary criteria:
-
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset; and
-
the business model for managing the financial assets.
A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at amortised cost:
-
the financial asset is managed solely to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates.
A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:
-
the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates;
-
- the business model for managing the financial assets comprises both contractual cash flows collection and the selling of the financial asset.

Notes to Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2020
Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
By default, all other financial assets that do not meet the measurement conditions of amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
TML initially designates a financial instrument as measured at fair value through profit or loss if:
-
it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (often referred to as “accounting mismatch”) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases;
-
it is in accordance with the documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the groupings was documented appropriately, so that the performance of the financial liability that was part of a group of financial liabilities or financial assets can be managed and evaluated consistently on a fair value basis;
-
it is a hybrid contract that contains an embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flows otherwise required by the contract.
The initial designation of the financial instruments to measure at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time option on initial classification and is irrevocable until the financial asset is derecognised.
Equity instruments
At initial recognition, as long as the equity instrument is not held for trading and not a contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3: Business Combinations applies, TML made an irrevocable election to measure any subsequent changes in fair value of the equity instruments in other comprehensive income, while the dividend revenue received on underlying equity instruments investment will still be recognised in profit or loss.
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised at settlement date in accordance with the TML's accounting policy.
Derecognition
Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement of financial position.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (ie when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of a new financial liability.

Notes to Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2020
Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised when the holder's contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is transferred in such a way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred.
All of the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of financial asset:
-
the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or been transferred;
-
all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and
-
- TML no longer controls the asset (ie TML has no practical ability to make a unilateral decision to sell the asset to a third party).
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
On derecognition of a debt instrument classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
On derecognition of an investment in equity which was elected to be classified under fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred to retained earnings.
Impairment
TML recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on:
-
financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income;
-
lease receivables;
-
contract assets (eg amounts due from customers under construction contracts);
-
loan commitments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss; and
-
financial guarantee contracts that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Loss allowance is not recognised for:
-
financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss; or
-
equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Notes to Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2020
Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
Expected credit losses are the probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of a financial instrument. A credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due and all cash flows expected to be received, all discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial instrument.
TML uses the following approaches to impairment, as applicable under AASB 9: Financial Instruments :
-
the general approach
-
the simplified approach
-
the purchased or originated credit impaired approach; and
-
low credit risk operational simplification.
General approach
Under the general approach, at each reporting period, TML assesses whether the financial instruments are credit-impaired, and if:
-
the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, TML measures the loss allowance of the financial instruments at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses; or
-
there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, TML measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.
Simplified approach
The simplified approach does not require tracking of changes in credit risk at every reporting period, but instead requires the recognition of lifetime expected credit loss at all times. This approach is applicable to:
-
trade receivables or contract assets that result from transactions within the scope of AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers and which do not contain a significant financing component; and
-
lease receivables.
In measuring the expected credit loss, a provision matrix for trade receivables was used taking into consideration various data to get to an expected credit loss (ie diversity of customer base, appropriate groupings of historical loss experience, etc).
Purchased or originated credit-impaired approach
For a financial asset that is considered credit-impaired (not on acquisition or origination), TML measures any change in its lifetime expected credit loss as the difference between the asset’s gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Any adjustment is recognised in profit or loss as an impairment gain or loss.

Notes to Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2020
Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
Evidence of credit impairment includes:
-
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or borrower;
-
a breach of contract (eg default or past due event);
-
a lender granting to the borrower a concession, due to the borrower's financial difficulty, that the lender would not otherwise consider;
-
high probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and
-
the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset because of financial difficulties.
Low credit risk operational simplification approach
If a financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the initial reporting date, TML assumes that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition and accordingly it can continue to recognise a loss allowance of 12-month expected credit loss.
In order to make such a determination that the financial asset has low credit risk, TML applies its internal credit risk ratings or other methodologies using a globally comparable definition of low credit risk.
A financial asset is considered to have low credit risk if:
-
there is a low risk of default by the borrower;
-
the borrower has strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term;
-
adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but not necessarily will, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.
A financial asset is not considered to carry low credit risk merely due to existence of collateral, or because a borrower has a risk of default lower than the risk inherent in the financial assets, or lower than the credit risk of the jurisdiction in which it operates.
Recognition of expected credit losses in financial statements
At each reporting date, TML recognises the movement in the loss allowance as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The carrying amount of financial assets measured at amortised cost includes the loss allowance relating to that asset.
Assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income. Amounts in relation to change in credit risk are transferred from other comprehensive income to profit or loss at every reporting period.

Notes to Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2020
Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
For financial assets that are unrecognised (eg loan commitments yet to be drawn, financial guarantees), a provision for loss allowance is created in the statement of financial position to recognise the loss allowance.
(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to know amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. These also include bank overdrafts that form an integral part of TML’s cash management, if any.
(i)
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition are accounted for as follows:
Consumable stores: purchase costs and expenses in bringing them into store on a weighted average cost method.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(j) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when TML has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(k) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of that asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditure and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are substantially completed for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that TML incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
(l) Leases
The Group as lessee
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability is recognised by the Group where the Group is a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as short-term leases (ie a lease with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Initially, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at commencement date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows:
-
fixed lease payments less any lease incentives;
-
variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;
-
the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
-
the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options;
-
lease payments under extension options, if lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and
-
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability as mentioned above, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, as well as any initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the shortest. Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset, or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates to exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset.
(m) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the loss after income tax attributable to members of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period.

Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(n) Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options, associated with the acquisition of a business, are included as part of the purchase consideration.
(o) Critical Accounting Estimates & Judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical knowledge and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Key estimates
- (i) Impairment
The entity assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions and specific to the entity that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value in use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.
- (ii) Useful lives of plant and equipment
The cost of plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated economic useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these plant and equipment to be within 5 to 20 years. These are common life expectancies applied in the operation of a biogas power plant industry. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying amount of TML’s plant and equipment at the reporting date is disclosed in Note 11. A 5% difference in the expected useful lives of these assets from management’s estimates would result in approximately 63% (2019: 77%) variance in TML’s profit for the period.
(iii) Deferred tax assets
- Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses and capital allowances can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Note 1 – Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
Assumptions about generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. These depend on estimates of future production and sales volume, operating costs, capital expenditure, dividends and other capital management transactions. Judgement is also required about application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risks and uncertainty; hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets recognised in the statement of financial position and the amount of unrecognised tax losses and unrecognised temporary differences.
Note 2 - Financial Risk Management
TML’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. TML’s overall risk management program focuses on managing these risks and implementing and monitoring of controls around the cash management function. TML’s principal financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents.
TML management of treasury activities is centralised and governed by policies approved by the Board. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as identifying risk exposure, analysing and deciding upon strategies and performance measurement.
TML held the following financial instruments:
| Financial assets Cash & cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Borrowings |
31 Dec 2020 31 Dec 2019 31 Dec 2019 Restated RM’000 RM’000 RM’000 6,352 6,074 6,074 2,963 1,618 59,570 |

|
| 33,861 51,755 51,755 |
(a) Interest rate risk
TML’s cash-flow interest rate risk primarily arises from its loans and borrowings subject to market bank rates. TML’s policy is to manage interest cost using mix of fixed and floating rate debts. Generally, no interest is receivable or payable on the entity trade and other receivables or payables.

Notes to Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2020
Note 2 - Financial Risk Management (continued)
As at balance sheet date, if interest rates had been 25 basis points lower/higher, with all other variables held constant, the TML’s profit net of tax would have been RM14,707 (31 December 2019: RM28,974) lower/higher, arising mainly as a result of lower/higher interest expense on floating rate loans and borrowings. The assumed movement in basis points for interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.
(b) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash reserves to meet the ongoing operational requirements of the business. It is TML’s policy to maintain sufficient funds in cash and cash equivalents. Furthermore, TML monitors its cash requirements and raises equity funding as and when appropriate to meet such planned requirements.
(c) Foreign exchange risk
TML operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currencies, primarily with respect to the Australian Dollar in the current financial period. The entity has material currency risk as some cash balances are held in Australian Dollar. The carrying amount of the commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and liabilities are all in Malaysian currency.
The carrying amounts of TML’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in Malaysian Ringgit except as set out below which is denominated in Australian Dollar:
| 31 Dec 2020 | 31 Dec 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| RM’000 | RM’000 | |
| Cash & cash equivalents | 2,519 | 3,061 |
| +/- 5% in MYR/$A | +/-126 | +/-153 |
(d) Credit risk
TML has treasury policies in place for deposit transactions for such transactions to be conducted with financial institutions with a minimum credit rating.
TML’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables. TML’s objective is to seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to increased credit risk exposure. TML trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is TML’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that TML’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. As at balance sheet date, all TML’s trade receivable was due from customers under service concession agreements. Information regarding credit enhancements for trade and other receivable is disclosed in Note 8.
At balance sheet date, cash and deposits were held with ANZ and NAB in Australia, and Standard Chartered, RHB and Ambank in Malaysia.
(e) Price risk
The entity does not have any direct material market or commodity price risk relating to its financial assets or liabilities.

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of TML in proportion to the number of shares held.
On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.
Share Options
There were no share options on issue or recommended for issue during or end of the financial period.
Capital management
Management controls the capital of TML’s in order to maintain the capital management objectives.
TML’s objectives for managing capital are to:
-
Ensure their ability to operate as a going concern.
-
Maximise returns to stakeholders by maintaining an optimal debt/equity structure via the issuance/redemption of debt or equity as appropriate.
There are no externally imposed capital requirements and there have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the entity since the prior year.
Debt capitalisation
On 8 January 2020, Mistral received an official reply from Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia (“SEDA”) dated 24th December 2019 informing Mistral that SEDA decided at its committee meeting on 14th November 2019 not to revoke Mistral’s Feed-in Approval, subject to Mistral complying with rule 3(c)(i) of the Renewable Energy (Feed-in Approval and Feed-in Tariff Rate) Rules 2011.
The rule stipulates:
-
An eligible producer shall be as follows:
-
(c) a company incorporated in Malaysia other than-
-
(i) a company in which a foreign person holds, directly or indirectly, more than fortynine per centum of the voting power or issued share capital (excluding preference shares);
Mistral was granted 6 months to restructure its shareholding to comply with the above rule.
TML completed a shareholding restructuring through inter-company debt conversion for Mistral in order for it to comply with the above rules.

Note 16 – Issued Capital (continued)
To satisfy SEDA’s requirement of being a Malaysian majority-owned company, it was proposed to convert a part of Mistral’s existing debt owed to Cepatwawasan Group Berhad (“CGB”), TML’s ultimate majority and controlling shareholder, into new ordinary shares to be issued to another subsidiary of CGB, Cash Nexus Sdn Bhd (“Cash Nexus”). Mistral proposed to issue 9,627,552 new shares at an issue price of RM1.64. This will result in the reduction of debt to CGB of RM15,803,627. The new ownership structure of Mistral will then be 51% (Cash Nexus) and 49% (TML).
The primary benefit to TML’s shareholders as a result of this debt/equity conversion will be that Mistral will be fully compliant with SEDA requirements to participate in the Feed-in-Tariff scheme. Without this restructuring, Mistral will lose its Feed-in Approval.
Additionally, as a result of the reduction in debt to CGB of RM15,803,627, Mistral will save yearly interest costs of RM850,212.
On 15 July 2020, shareholder approval on this exercise was obtained and the new share allotment has been completed on 8 August 2020.

In addition to the related party information disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements, the following significant transactions between TML and related parties took place at terms agreed between the parties during the financial period.

(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

TIMAH RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 69 123 981 537 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TIMAH RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITITES
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the year ended 31 December 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matter
Change in accounting policy (Plant, Property & Equipment and Receivables)
During the year, management reviewed the accounting under IC12 Service Concession Agreements (“IC12”) relating to the biogas power plant which was initially classified as a financial asset. A detailed reassessment was performed by management and the previously recognised financial assets balance relating to the biogas power plant was appropriately reversed.
We focused on this area as a key audit matter because it involves a significant change in accounting policy and to ensure the impact of the reversal of IC12 has been appropriately performed.
How Our Audit Addressed the Key Audit Matter
Our procedures included, amongst others:
Reviewed management’s documentation on the assessment and justification of the reversal of IC12 service concession agreements on Biogas Power Plant.
Assessed the component auditors review of the calculation of adjustments performed by management to recognise the appropriate plant and equipment relating to the biogas power plant.
Assessed the Group’s disclosure of the change in accounting policy to meet the requirements of AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
The biogas power plant was recognised as plant and equipment.
Carrying value of Deferred Tax Assets
Our procedures included, amongst others:
As disclosed in Note 12, at 31 December 2020 the Group has recognised RM 13,925,508 as deferred tax assets relating to tax losses incurred by Mistral Engineering Sbn. Bhd. The recoverability of this deferred tax asset is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profit to utilise these tax losses.
We assessed and challenged management’s judgements relating to the recoverability assumptions made in relation to the deferred tax assets.
We have reviewed the component auditors’ audit work in this area.
We focused on this area as a key audit matter due to its significance to the statement of financial position.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TIMAH RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITITES
Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020 but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 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 the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, 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.

TIMAH RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 69 123 981 537 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TIMAH RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITITES
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
– Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting 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 auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents 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 financial report. 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 directors 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 directors 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, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the remuneration report included in pages 13 to 16 of the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2020.
In our opinion, the remuneration report of Timah Resources Limited for the year ended 31 December 2020 complies with s300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
