require a formal approval of the shareholders for the Audited Financial Statements and hence, this Agenda item is
not put forward for voting.
(1) A member entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote
in his stead. A proxy may but need not be a member of the Company and the provisions of Section 149(1)(b) of the
Companies Act, 1965 shall not apply.

proportions of his /her shareholdings to be represented by each proxy.
(3) Where a member of the Company is an exempt authorised nominee which holds ordinary shares in the Company
for multiple beneficial owners in one securities account (“omnibus account”), there is no limit to the number of

Resolution 6
(i) The proposed ordinary resolution under Item 6 above, if passed, will empower the Directors of the Company from the
date of the above Annual General Meeting, authority to allot and issue securities in the Company up to an amount not
exceeding in total 10% of the issued capital of the Company for such purposes as the Directors consider would be in
the interest of the Company. This authority, unless revoked or varied at a General Meeting will expire at the next Annual
General Meeting.
The Company continues to consider opportunities to broaden its earnings potential. If any of the expansion proposals
involves the issue of new shares, the Directors, under certain circumstances when the opportunity arises, would have to
convene a general meeting to approve the issue of new shares even though the number involved may be less than 10%
of the issued capital
In order to avoid any delay and costs involved in convening a general meeting to approve such issue of shares, it is
thus considered appropriate that the Directors be empowered to issue shares in the Company, up to any amount not
exceeding in total 10% of the issued share capital of the Company for the time being for such purposes. The renewal
authority for allotment of shares will provide flexibility to the Company for the allotment of shares for the purpose of
funding future investment, working capital and / or acquisitions.
The General Mandate procured and approved in the preceding year 2013 which was not exercised by the Company
during the year, will expire at the forthcoming Twenty-First AGM of the Company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The management believes that Malaysia’s oil and gas industry will remain to be robust for the near future with
supported on-going activities driven by government initiatives and influx of major international oil and gas
players to cater for the growing demand in the market.
Despite external economical whirlwinds hitting the Asian market, the Malaysian economy has remained resilient
and expanded by 4.7% in 2013, which was largely driven by the continued growth in domestic demand.
Domestic demand is expected to continue its growth momentum with the Malaysian economic expected to
grow at a rate of 5% - 5.5% in 2014. On a global scale, the 2013 World Economic Outlook (“WEO”) is expecting to
improve in 2014 and 2015 at a growth rate of approximately 3.7% and rising to 3.9%, respectively. The improving
activities are largely on the account of recovery in the advanced economies that have been affecting global
economy in the recent years.
(Source: BNM Annual Report 2013 and International Monetary Fund, WEO Update, January 2014)
In view of the abovementioned external factors, partnered with internal efforts the Group anticipates that

a stronger position to capitilise on opportunities on a global scale.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Board of Yinson Holdings Bhd (the “Company”) recognizes the importance of adopting high standards
of corporate governance in the Company in order to safeguard stakeholders’ interests as well as enhancing
shareholders’ value. As such, the Board strives to embed in the Group a culture that aims to balance conformance
requirements with the need to deliver long-term strategic success through performance, without compromising
on personal or corporate ethics and integrity.
This corporate governance statement (“Statement”) sets out how the Company has applied the 8 Principles of
the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 (“MCCG 2012”) and observed the 26 Recommendations
supporting the Principles during the financial year following the release of the MCCG 2012 by the Securities
Commission in late March 2012. Where a specific Recommendation of the MCCG 2012 has not been observed
during the financial year under review, the non-observation, including the reasons thereof and, where
appropriate, the alternative practice, if any, is mentioned in this Statement.
Principle 1 - Establish clear Roles and Responsibilities of the Board and Management
The Board recognizes the key role it plays in charting the strategic direction of the Company and has assumed
the following principal responsibilities in discharging its fiduciary and leadership functions:
• reviewing and adopting a strategic plan for the company, addressing the sustainability of the group’s
business;
• overseeing the conduct of the group’s business and evaluating whether or not its businesses are being
properly managed;
• identifying principal business risks faced by the group and ensuring the implementation of appropriate
internal controls and mitigating measures to address such risks;
• ensuring that all candidates appointed to senior management positions are of sufficient calibre, including
having in place a process to provide for the orderly succession of senior management personnel and
members of the board;
• overseeing the development and implementation of a shareholder communications policy; and
• reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the group’s internal control and management information systems.
17
To assist in the discharge of its stewardship role, the Board has established Board Committees, namely the Audit
Committee, Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee, to examine specific issues within their
respective terms of reference as approved by the Board and report to the Board with their recommendations.
The ultimate responsibility for decision making, however, lies with the Board.
To enhance accountability, the Board has established clear functions reserved for the Board and those
delegated to Management. There is a formal schedule of matters reserved to the Board for its deliberation
and decision to ensure the direction and control of the Company are in its hands. Key matters reserved for
the Board include, inter-alia, the approval of annual budgets, quarterly and annual financial statements
for announcement, major investments, borrowings and expenditure as well as monitoring of the Group’s
financial and operating performance. Such delineation of roles is clearly set out in the Board Manual
(“Manual”), which serves as a reference point for Board activities. The Manual provides guidance for
Directors and Management regarding the responsibilities of the Board, its Committees and Management,
the requirements of Directors in carrying out their stewardship role and in discharging their duties towards
the Company as well as boardroom activities. As the Manual had yet to be made publicly available, the
Board will take the relevant measures to upload the Manual on the Company’s website at www.yinson.
com.my in line with Recommendation 1.7 of the MCCG 2012.
At the date of this Statement, the Board has formalized a Directors’ Code of Ethics, setting out the standards
of conduct expected from Directors. To inculcate good ethical conduct, the Group has established a Code
of Conduct for employees, encapsulated in Yinson’s Employees Manual, which has been communicated
to all levels of employees in the Group.
The Board has also formalized a Whistle-blowing Policy, with the aim to provide an avenue for raising concerns
related to possible breach of business conduct, non-compliance of laws and regulatory requirements as
well as other malpractices. The Board recognizes the importance of adhering to the Code of Ethics and has
taken measures to put in place a process to ensure its compliance.
Principle 1 - Establish clear Roles and Responsibilities of the Board and Management (cont’d)
The Board is mindful of the importance of business sustainability and, in conducting the Group’s business,
the impact of the Group’s business on the environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) aspects is taken
into consideration. Whilst the Group embraces sustainability in its operations and supply chain, the Board
will formalize a Sustainability Policy, addressing the ESG aspects to be incorporated in the Group’s strategy.
The Group’s activities on corporate social responsibilities for the financial year under review are disclosed
on page 26 of this Annual Report.
Directors are supplied with relevant information and reports on financial, operational, corporate, regulatory,
business development and audit matters for decisions to be made on an informed basis and effective
discharge of the Board’s responsibilities.
Procedures have been established for timely dissemination of Board and Board Committee papers
to all Directors at least seven (7) days prior to the Board and Board Committee meetings, to facilitate
decision making by the Board and to deal with matters arising from such meetings. Senior Management
of the Group and external advisers are invited to attend Board meetings to provide additional insights
and professional views, advice and explanations on specific items on the meeting agenda. Besides
direct access to Management, Directors may obtain independent professional advice at the Company’s
expense, if considered necessary, in accordance with established procedures set out in the Board Manual
in furtherance of their duties.
Directors have unrestricted access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary to enable
them to discharge their duties effectively. The Board is regularly updated and advised by the Company
Secretary who is qualified, experienced and competent on statutory and regulatory requirements, and the
18 resultant implications of any changes therein to the Company and Directors in relation to their duties and
responsibilities.
During the financial year under review, the Board consisted of eight (8) members, comprising five (5) Executive
Directors and three (3) Independent Non-Executive Directors. This composition fulfills the requirements as set
out under the Main Market Listing Requirements (“Listing Requirements”) of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad
(“Bursa”), which stipulate that at least two (2) Directors or one-third of the Board, whichever is higher, must be
Independent. The profile of each Director is set out on pages 9 to 11 of this Annual Report. The Directors, with
their diverse backgrounds and specializations, collectively bring with them a wide range of experience and
expertise in areas such as engineering; entrepreneurship; finance; taxation; accounting and audit and legal
and economics.
The Board conducts an assessment on the performance of the Board, as a whole, the Audit, Nomination
and Remuneration Committees and individual Directors, based on a self and peer assessment approach.
From the results of the assessment, including the mix of skills and experience possessed by Directors, the
Board considers and approves recommendations by the Nomination Committee on the re-election and
re-appointment of Directors at the Company’s forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
The Nomination Committee was established on 25 September 2001, as the Board recognizes the importance
of the role the Committee plays not only in the selection and assessment of Directors but also in other
aspects of corporate governance which the Committee can assist the Board to discharge its fiduciary and
leadership functions. The Nomination Committee comprises the following members:
• Dato’ Ir. Adi Azmari bin B.K. Koya Moideen Kutty (Chairman of Committee and Independent Non-
Executive Director);
• Mr. Kam Chai Hong (Independent Non-Executive Director); and
• Tuan Haji Hassan bin Ibrahim (Independent Non-Executive Director).
The Board has stipulated specific terms of reference for the Nomination Committee, which cover, inter-
alia, assessing and recommending to the Board the candidature of Directors, appointment of Directors to
Board Committees and training programmes for the Board. The terms of reference require the Nomination
Committee to review annually the required mix of skills and experience of Directors; succession planning;
training courses for Directors and other qualities of the Board, including core-competencies which the
Independent Non-Executive Directors should bring to the Board. The Committee is also entrusted to assess
annually the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the Board Committees and contribution of each
individual Director. Insofar as board diversity is concerned, the Board does not intend to develop any specific
policy on targets for women Director. The Board believes that the on-boarding process of Directors should
not be based on any gender discrimination. As such, the evaluation of suitable candidates is solely based
on the candidates’ competency, character, time commitment, integrity and experience in meeting the
needs of the Company, including, where appropriate, the ability of the candidates to act as Independent
Non-Executive Directors, as the case may be.
A Remuneration Committee was established by the Board on 25 September 2001 to assist the Board in
the adoption of fair remuneration practices to attract, retain and motivate Directors. Business strategies,
long-term objectives, responsibilities of Directors, expertise required in the discharge of the duties and the
complexity of the Group’s business are aligned to the remuneration of Directors.
In essence, the key principles and procedures in remunerating executive employees below Board level are
also applicable to the Executive Directors. The remuneration policy of the Group seeks to attract and retain
as well as to motivate employees of all levels to contribute positively to the Group’s performance.
The guidelines on bonuses in respect of the financial year ended 31 January 2014 and annual increment for
2015 in respective of executive employees of the Group were recommended for the Board’s approval. The 19
quantum of the annual performance bonus is dependent on the operating results of the Group, taking into
account the prevailing business conditions. The same guidelines are also applied to the Group Managing
Director in instances where there are no provisions of the same in his service contract with the Company.
The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is determined by the Board, as a whole, within an aggregate
Directors’ fee limit of not exceeding RM100,000 per annum, which has been approved by shareholders of
the Company. The Non-Executive Directors do not participate in discussion of their remuneration.
Directors’ remuneration during the financial year ended 31 January 2014 in aggregate, with categorization
into appropriate components, distinguishing between Executive and Non-Executive Directors, is as follows:
Salaries and
Fees allowances Bonuses Total
RM’000 RM’000 RM’000 RM’000
The number of Directors of the Company, whose remuneration band falls within the following successive
bands of RM50, 000, is as follows:
RM50,001 to RM100,000 - 3
RM200,001 to RM250,000 1 -
RM250,001 to RM300,000 1 -
RM400,001 to RM450,000 1 -
RM1,050,001 to RM1,100,000 1 -
RM1,100,001 to RM1,150,001 1 -
The positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company are held by the different person. The
Board is of the view that the composition of Independent Non-Executive Directors, which fulfils the Listing
Requirements of Bursa, coupled with the use of Board Manual that formally sets out the schedule of matters
reserved solely to the Board for decision making, provides for the relevant checks and balance. In addition, the
Chairman has a significant financial interest in the Company and, accordingly, the Board is of the view that he
is well placed to act on behalf of shareholders and in their best interest.
The Chairman is responsible for ensuring the adequacy and effectiveness of the Board’s governance process
and acts as a facilitator at Board meetings to ensure that contributions from Directors are forthcoming on matters
being deliberated and that no Board member dominates discussion. As the Group Chief Executive Officer,
supported by fellow Executive Directors and an Executive Management team, he implements the Group’s
strategies, policies and decision adopted by the Board and oversees the operations and business development
of the Group.
The Independent Non-Executive Directors bring to bear objective and independent views, advice and
20 judgment on the interests, not only of the Group, but also of shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers and
the communities in which the Group conducts its business. Independent Non-Executive Directors are essential
for protecting the interests of shareholders and can make significant contributions to the Company’s decision
making by bringing in the quality of detached impartiality.
During the financial year under review, the Board assessed the independence of its Independent Non-Executive
Directors based on criteria set out in the Listing Requirements of Bursa. The Board Manual does not provide a
limit of a cumulative term of nine (9) years on the tenure of an Independent Director. The Board has appointed
external consultants to assist the Board, in the review and update of the Board Manual against the promulgations
of the MCCG 2012 on the independence of Independent Directors.
Recommendation 3.2 stipulates that an Independent Director may continue to serve on the Board upon
reaching the 9-year limit subject to the Independent Director’s re-designation as a Non-Independent Non-
Executive Director. In the event the Board intends to retain the Director as Independent after the latter has
served a cumulative term of nine (9) years, the Board must justify the decision and seek shareholders’ approval
at a general meeting, normally the Annual General Meeting of the Company. In justifying the decision, the
Board is required to assess the candidate’s suitability to continue as an Independent Non-Executive Director
based on the criteria of independence as adopted by the Board.
Following an assessment by the Board, Dato’ Adi Azmari Bin B.K. Koya Moideen Kutty, Mr. Kam Chai Hong and
Tuan Haji Hassan bin Ibrahim, who have served as Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company for
a cumulative term of more than nine (9) years each as at the end of the financial year under review, have
been recommended by the Board to continue to act as Independent Non-Executive Directors, subject to
shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company. The key justifications for
their recommended continuance as Independent Non-Executive Directors are as follows:
• they fulfil the criteria under the definition of Independent Director as stated in the Listing Requirements of
Bursa and, therefore, are able to bring independent and objective judgment to the Board;
• their experience in the relevant industries enable them to provide the Board and Board Committees, as the
case may be, with pertinent expertise, skills and competence; and
• they have been with the Company long and therefore understand the Company’s business operations
which enable them to contribute actively and effectively during deliberations or discussions at Board and
Committee meetings.
The Board ordinarily meets at least five (5) times a year, scheduled well in advance before the end of the
preceding financial year to facilitate the Directors in planning their meeting schedule for the year. Additional
meetings are convened when urgent and important decisions need to be made between scheduled meetings.
Board and Board Committees papers, which are prepared by Management, provide the relevant facts and
analysis for the convenience of Directors. The meeting agenda, the relevant reports and Board papers are
furnished to Directors and Board Committees members at least seven (7) days before the meeting to allow the
Directors sufficient time to study for effective discussion and decision making at the meetings. At the quarterly
Board meetings, the Board reviews the business performance of the Group and discusses major operational
and financial issues. All pertinent issues discussed at Board meetings in arriving at decisions and conclusions are
properly recorded by the Company Secretary by way of minutes of meetings. During the financial year under
review, the number of Board of Directors’ meeting attended by each director are as follow:
Number of meetings
Directors Designation Attended by Member %
As stipulated in the Board Manual, the Directors are required to devote sufficient time and efforts to carry out
their responsibilities. The Board obtains this commitment from Directors at the time of their appointment. Each 21
Director is expected to commit time as and when required to discharge the relevant duties and responsibilities,
besides attending meetings of the Board and Board Committees.
The Board is mindful of the importance for its members to undergo continuous training to be apprised of changes
to regulatory requirements and the impact such regulatory requirements have on the Group. During the financial
year under review, the training attended by Directors includes briefings, seminars and conferences conducted
by relevant regulatory authorities and professional bodies as well as internal officers.
The training attended by the Directors during the financial year ended 31 January 2014 comprises the following:
The Company Secretary normally circulates the relevant statutory and regulatory requirements from time to
time for the Board’s reference and briefs the Board on the updates, where applicable. The Group Financial
Controller and External Auditors also brief the Board members on any changes to the Malaysian Financial
Reporting Standards that affect the Group’s financial statements for the financial year under review.
It is the Board’s commitment to present a balanced and meaningful assessment of the Group’s financial
performance and prospects at the end of each reporting period and financial year, primarily through the
quarterly announcement of Group’s results to Bursa, the annual financial statements of the Group and Company
as well as the Chairman’s statement and review of the Group’s operations in the Annual Report, where relevant.
The Board is responsible for ensuring that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs
of the Group and the Company as at the end of the reporting period and of their results and cash flows for the
period then ended.
In assisting the Board to discharge its duties on financial reporting, the Board established an Audit Committee
on 5 March 1996, comprising wholly Independent Non-Executive Directors, with Dato’ Ir. Adi Azmari Bin B.K. Koya
Moideen Kutty as the Committee Chairman. The composition of the Audit Committee, including its roles and
responsibilities, are set out in the Audit Committee Report on pages 29 to 32 of this Annual Report. One of the key
responsibilities of the Audit Committee in its specific terms of reference is to ensure that the financial statements
of the Group and Company comply with applicable financial reporting standards in Malaysia and provisions of
the Companies Act, 1965. Such financial statements comprise the quarterly financial report announced to Bursa
and the annual statutory financial statements.
The Board understands its role in upholding the integrity of financial reporting by the Company. Accordingly,
22 the Audit Committee, which assists the Board in overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company,
will formalize and adopt a policy for the types of non-audit services permitted to be provided by the external
auditors, including the need for the Audit Committee’s approval in writing before such services can be provided
by the external auditors. To address the “self review” threat faced by the external audit firm, the procedures to
be included in the policy require the engagement team conducting the non-audit services to be different from
the external audit team.
In assessing the independence of external auditors, the Audit Committee requires written assurance by the
external auditors, confirming that they are, and have been, independent throughout the conduct of the audit
engagement with the Company in accordance with the independence criteria set out by the International
Federation of Accountants and the Malaysian Institute of Accountants.
The Board regards risk management and internal controls as an integral part of the overall management
processes. The following represent the key elements of the Group’s risk management and internal control
structure:
(a) An organizational structure in the Group with formally defined lines of responsibility and delegation of
authority;
(b) Review and approval of annual business plan and budget of all major business units by the Board. This plan
sets out the key business objectives of the respective business units, the major risks and opportunities in the
operations and ensuing action plans;
(c) Quarterly review of the Group’s business performance by the Board, which also covers the assessment of
the impact of changes in business and competitive environment;
(d) Active participation and involvement by the Executive Chairman and Group Managing Director in the
day-to-day running of the major businesses and regular discussions with the senior management of smaller
business units on operational issues; and
Recognizing the importance of having risk management processes and practices, the Board will formalize an
Enterprise Risk Management framework to provide Management with structured policies and procedures to
identify, evaluate, control, monitor and report to the Board the principal business risks faced by the Group on
an ongoing basis, including remedial measures to be taken to address the risks vis-à-vis the risk parameters of
the Group.
In line with the MCCG 2012 and the Listing Requirements of Bursa, the Company has in place an in-house Internal
Audit (“IA”) function, which reports directly to the Audit Committee on the adequacy and effectiveness of the
Group’s internal controls. The internal audit is guided by internal auditing standards promulgated by the Institute
of Internal Auditors Inc, a globally recognized professional body for internal auditors. The internal audit function
is independent of the activities it audits and the scope of work it covered during the financial year under review
is provided in the Audit Committee Report set out on pages 29 to 32 of this Annual Report.
The Board is aware of the need to establish corporate disclosure policies and procedures to enable
comprehensive, accurate and timely disclosures relating to the Company and its subsidiaries to be made to the
regulators, shareholders and stakeholders. Accordingly, the Board will formalize pertinent corporate disclosure
policies not only to comply with the disclosure requirements as stipulated in the Listing Requirements of Bursa,
but also setting out the persons authorized and responsible to approve and disclose material information to
regulators, shareholders and stakeholders.
To augment the process of disclosure, the Board has earmarked a dedicated section for corporate governance
on the Company’s website, where information on the Company’s announcements to the regulators, the Board
Manual, rights of shareholders and the Company’s Annual Report may be accessed.
The Annual General Meeting (“AGM”), which is the principal forum for shareholder dialogue, allows
shareholders to review the Group’s performance via the Company’s Annual Report and pose questions to
the Board for clarification. At the AGM, shareholders participate in deliberating resolutions being proposed
or on the Group’s operations in general. At the last AGM, a question & answer session was held where the
Chairman of the meeting invited shareholders to raise questions with responses from the Board and Senior
Management.
The Notice of AGM is circulated to shareholders at least twenty-one (21) days before the date of the
meeting to enable them to go through the Annual Report and papers supporting the resolutions proposed.
All the resolutions set out in the Notice of the last AGM were put to vote by a show of hands and duly
passed. The outcome of the AGM was announced to Bursa on the same meeting day.
The Board recognizes the importance of being transparent and accountable to the Company’s
shareholders and prospective investors. The various channels of communications are through meetings
with institutional shareholders and investment communities, quarterly announcements on financial results
to Bursa, relevant announcements and circulars, when necessary, the Annual and Extraordinary General
Meetings and through the Group’s website at www.yinson.com.my where shareholders and prospective
investors can access corporate information, annual reports, press releases, financial information, company
announcements and share prices of the Company. To maintain a high level of transparency and to
effectively address any issues or concerns, the Group has a dedicated electronic mail, i.e. info@yinson.
com.my to which stakeholders can direct their queries or concerns.
However, any information that may be regarded as undisclosed material information about the Group will
not be given to any single shareholder or shareholder group.
Principle 8 – Strengthen relationship between the Company and its shareholders (cont’d)
The Company takes into consideration the shareholder’s rights to access information relating to the
Company and has thusly, taken measures to enable the Company to communicate effectively with its
shareholders, prospective investors, stakeholders and public generally with the intention of giving them a
clear picture of the Group’s performance and operations.
Save as disclosed under the Profile of Directors, none of the other directors has any other relationship with any
directors and/or major shareholder of the Company.

Paragraph 15.26 (b) of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad requires the Board of a listed
issuer to include in its Annual Report a statement on the state of internal control of the listed issuer as a Group.
Accordingly, the Board of Directors is pleased to provide the following statement which outlines the nature and
scope of risk management and internal control of the Group for the financial year ended 31 January 2014.
Board Responsibility
The Board acknowledges its responsibility for maintaining a sound system of risk management and internal control
to safeguard shareholders’ investments and Group’s assets and for reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness
of the risk management and internal control system. The system of risk management and internal control of the
Group covers all aspects of its business.
In view of the limitations inherent in any system of risk management and internal control, the Board is aware that
the system is designed to manage, rather than to eliminate, the risk of failure to achieve the Group’s corporate
objectives. Accordingly, the system can only provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material
misstatement or loss.
Risk management and internal controls are regarded as an integral part of the Group’s overall management
processes.
The following represent the key elements of the Group’s risk management and internal control structure:
(i) An organizational structure in the Group with formally defined lines of responsibility and delegation of
authority;
(ii) Review the business plan for any potential acquisitions by the Board. This plan sets out the key business
objectives, the major risks and opportunities in the operations. 27
(iii) Quarterly review of the performance of Group’s business by the Board which also covers assessment of the
impact of changes in business and competitive environment;
(iv) Active participation and involvement by the Executive Chairman and Group Managing Director, assisted
by other Executive Directors, in the day-to-day running of the major businesses and regular discussions with
the Senior Management of the respective business units on operational issues; and
The internal controls of the Group are further supported by formalized limits of authority for various management
committees. Support functions like Finance, Internal Audit, and also play a vital role in the overall control and risk
management processes of the Group.
Various management committees have been established to manage and control the Group’s businesses.
Matters beyond the formalized limits of authority for Management are referred upward to the Board for approval.
Recognizing the importance of having risk management processes and practices, the Board had formalized
an Enterprise Risk Management framework to provide Management with structured policies and procedures to
identify, evaluate, control, monitor and report to the Board the principal business risks faced by the Group on
an ongoing basis, including remedial measures to be taken to address the risks vis-à-vis the risk parameters of
the Group.
The Board has received assurance from the Group Managing Director and the Group Financial Controller
that the Group’s Risk Management and internal control system is operating adequately and effectively, in all
material aspects.
The Group has in place an independent in-house internal audit department, which provides the Board, through
the Audit Committee, with assurance on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s system of internal
control and management information system.
The internal audit function adopts an approach that focuses on major business units and functions in the Group
for the purpose of identifying areas to be audited on a prioritized basis, vis-à-vis the business risks inherent in
the business units concerned. The Group’s internal audit plan is tabled annually and approved by the Audit
Committee.
Action plans are taken by Management to address the findings and concerns raised in the internal audit reports.
The internal audit department also follows up on the status of Management’s action plans on internal audit
findings.
Conclusion
The Board is of the view that there were no material losses incurred by the Group during the financial year ended
31 January 2014 as a result of weaknesses or lapses in internal controls. The Board continues to take measures to
strengthen the risk management and internal control systems of the Group.
This statement was made in accordance with a resolution of the Board of directors passed on 26 June 2014.
As required by paragraph 15.23 of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Main Market Listing Requirement, the
external auditors have reviewed this Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control. Their limited assurance

Auditors on Engagements to Report on the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control included in the
Annual Report, issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants. RPG 5(Revised) does not require the external
auditors to form an opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management and internal control
28 systems of the Group.

(ii) share issuance of 37,809,000 new ordinary shares of RM1.00 each, at an issue price of RM2.82 each.
The new ordinary shares issued during the financial year ranked pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary
shares of the Company.
(a) Before the income statements, statements of comprehensive income and statements of financial position
of the Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps:
(i) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the
making of provision for doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that there were no known bad debts
and that adequate provision had been made for doubtful debts; and
(ii) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their value as shown in the accounting
records in the ordinary course of business had been written down to an amount which they might be
expected so to realise.
(b) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render:
(i) it necessary to write off any bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts inadequate to
any substantial extent; and
36
(ii) the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
misleading.
(c) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which
would render adherence to the existing methods of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the
Company misleading or inappropriate.

report or financial statements of the Group and of the Company which would render any amount stated in
the financial statements misleading.
(ii) any contingent liability of the Group or of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial
year.
(i) no contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the
period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which will or may affect the ability of the
Group or of the Company to meet their obligations when they fall due; and
(ii) no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the
end of the financial year and the date of this report which is likely to affect substantially the results of
the operations of the Group or of the Company for the financial year in which this report is made.

Commission for Oaths
We have audited the financial statements of Yinson Holdings Berhad, which comprise statements of financial
position as at 31 January 2014 of the Group and of the Company, and income statements, statements of
comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the

Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements so as to give a true
and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting
Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair
view 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the
directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. 39
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the
Company as at 31 January 2014 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the
requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia, we also report the following:
(a) In our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the
Company and its subsidiaries of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance
with the provisions of the Act.
(b) We have considered the financial statements and the auditors’ reports of all the subsidiaries of which we
have not acted as auditors, which are indicated in Note 21 to the financial statements, being financial
statements that have been included in the consolidated financial statements.
(c) We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the
financial statements of the Company are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of
the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and we have received satisfactory information
and explanations required by us for those purposes.
(d) The auditors’ reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification
and did not include any comment required to be made under Section 174(3) of the Act.

1. Corporate information
Yinson Holdings Berhad (the “Company”) is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled
in Malaysia, and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The registered office of the
Company is located at No. 25, Jalan Firma Dua, Kawasan Perindustrian Tebrau IV, 81100 Johor Bahru, Johor
Darul Ta’zim.
The principal activities of the subsidiaries are described in Note 21 to the financial statements.
There have been no significant changes in the nature of the principal activities during the financial year.
The consolidated financial statements of Yinson Holdings Berhad and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) have
been prepared in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS), International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except as
disclosed in the accounting policies below.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM) and all values are
rounded to the nearest thousand (RM’000), except when otherwise indicated.
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries
as at 31 January 2014. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns
50 from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over
the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
- Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities of the investee);
- Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
- The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers
all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
- The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that
there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins
when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the
subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the
year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control
until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the owners
of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling
interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements
of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-
group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between
members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
- Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained
earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets
or liabilities
Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for by applying
the pooling of interest method. The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at
their carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of the controlling holding
company. Any difference between the consideration paid and the share capital of the “acquired”
entity is reflected within equity as merger reserve. The statement of comprehensive income reflects 51
the results of the combining entities for the full year, irrespective of when the combination takes place.
Comparatives are presented as if the entities have always been combined since the date the entities
had come under common control.
In other case of acquisitions, business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method.
The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured
at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For
each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the
acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-
related costs are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic
circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of
embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest is re-measured
at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. It is then
considered in the determination of goodwill.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the
acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument
and within the scope of MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, is measured
at fair value with changes in fair value recognised either in either profit or loss or as a change to OCI.
If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of MFRS 139, it is measured in accordance with
the appropriate MFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured and
subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred
and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in
excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly
identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used
to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the re-assessment still results in an
excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the
gain is recognised in profit or loss.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the
purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition
date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the
combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those
units.
Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that
unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying
amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these
circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of
the cash-generating unit retained.
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the
power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control
or joint control over those policies.
52
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the
arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed
sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities
require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those
necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.
The Group’s investments in its associate and joint venture are accounted for using the equity
method.
Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised at cost.
The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net
assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate
or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor
individually tested for impairment.
The profit or loss reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate or joint venture.
Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when there
has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group
recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised
gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate or joint venture are
eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or joint venture.
The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of an associate and a joint venture is shown on
the face of the profit or loss outside operating profit and represents profit or loss after tax and non-
controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associate or joint venture.
The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period
as the Group except for an associate as disclosed in Note 23. When necessary, adjustments are made
to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise
an impairment loss on its investment in its associate or joint venture. At each reporting date, the
Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint
venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the
difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value,
then recognises the loss as ‘Share of profit of an associate and a joint venture’ in the statement of profit
or loss.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group
measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying
amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair
value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group presents assets and liabilities in statement of financial position based on current/non-current
classification. An asset as current when it is:
- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at
least twelve months after the reporting period.
- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after
the reporting period.
The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as
non-current assets and liabilities.
The Group measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives, and non-financial assets such as
investment properties, at fair value at each statement of financial position date. Also, fair values of
financial instruments measured at amortised cost are disclosed in Note 41.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is
based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best
interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability
to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs
and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
54 - Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and
- Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the
Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing
categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a
whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The Group’s senior management determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value
measurement, such as investment properties and unquoted AFS financial assets.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as properties. Involvement
of external valuers is decided upon annually by the senior management after discussion with and
approval by the Company’s audit committee. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation,
independence and whether professional standards are maintained. The senior management decides,
after discussions with the Group’s external valuers, which valuation techniques and inputs to use for
each case.
At each reporting date, the senior management analyses the movements in the values of assets and
liabilities which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Group’s accounting policies.
For this analysis, the senior management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by
agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
The senior management, in conjunction with the Group’s external valuers, also compares each the
changes in the fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether
the change is reasonable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on
the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value
hierarchy as explained above.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account
contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty. The Group has concluded that
it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue
arrangements, has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.
The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership
of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods.
Revenue from rendering services is recognised upon services rendered. When the contract
outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that the expenses
incurred are eligible to be recovered.
(iii) Dividends 55
Revenue is recognised when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established, which is
generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties is accounted for on a
straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss
due to its operating nature.
Revenue from vessel chartering contracts classified as operating leases are recognised on a
straight-line basis over the lease period for which the customer has contractual right over the
vessel.
3.6 Taxes
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount
expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws
used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the
reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and
not in the statement of profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in
the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to
interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the
reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
- When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or
liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction,
affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of
unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent
that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised,
except:
- When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and,
at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
56 and
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part
of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each
reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable
profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the
year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have
been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss.
Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or
directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set
off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the
same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax, except:
- When the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the
taxation authority, in which case, the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition
of the asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable; and
- When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of sales tax included.
The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as
part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in RM, which is also the parent company’s
functional currency. The Group determines the functional currency for each entity and items included
in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The Group uses
the direct method of consolidation and has elected to recycle the gain or loss that arises from using
this method.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group’s entities at their respective
functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional 57
currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss
with the exception of monetary items that are designated as part of the hedge of the Group’s net
investment of a foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive income until the
net investment is disposed of, at which time, the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also
recorded in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items
measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date
when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items
measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on change in fair value
of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other
comprehensive income or profit or loss are also recognised in other comprehensive income or
profit or loss, respectively).
Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and
liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate of exchange at the reporting
date.
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into RM at the rate
of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated
at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising
on translation for consolidation are recognised in other comprehensive income. On disposal of
a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular
foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.
The Company recognises a liability to make cash or non-cash distributions to owners of the parent
when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company.
Non-cash distributions are measured at the fair value of the assets to be distributed with fair value re-
measurement recognised directly in equity.
Upon distribution of non-cash assets, any difference between the carrying amount of the liability and
the carrying amount of the assets distributed is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and
equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met.
When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals,
58 the Group 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. The present value of the
expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective
asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised 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 statement of profit or loss when the
asset is derecognised.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are
reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
3.10 Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of
the arrangement at the inception date. The arrangement is assessed for whether fulfilment of the
arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right
to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Finance leases that transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the
leased item to the Group, are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the fair value
of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease
payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to
achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are
recognised in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.
A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable
certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated
over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the statement of profit or
loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of
an asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating
lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term
on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in 59
which they are earned.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as
part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing
of funds.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial
recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the
reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are
included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, including the corresponding tax effect.
Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external
independent valuer.
Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are
permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in
the statement of profit or loss in the period of derecognition.
Transfers are made to (or from) investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer
from investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting
is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner-occupied property becomes an investment
property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property,
plant and equipment up to the date of change in use.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible
assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial
recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated
impairment losses.Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are
not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the
expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment
whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the
amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each
reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future
economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method,
as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on
intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as the expense category
that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually,
either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed
annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in
useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the
statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
60
3.14 Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial
liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets,
or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not
recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the
acquisition of the financial asset.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame
established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are
recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the
asset.
For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in four categories:
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading
and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling
or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives are
also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments
as defined by MFRS 139.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial
position at fair value with net changes in fair value presented as finance costs (negative net
changes in fair value) or finance income (positive net changes in fair value) in the statement
of profit or loss.
Derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and
recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to
those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at
fair value though profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with
changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Re-assessment only occurs if there is either
a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would
otherwise be required or a reclassification of a financial asset out of the fair value through
profit or loss.
61
Loans and receivables
This category is the most relevant to the Group. Loans and receivables are non-derivative
financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest rate (EIR) method, less impairment. 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 in finance income in the statement of
profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit or loss
in finance costs for loans and in cost of sales or other operating expenses for receivables.
Held-to-maturity investments
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are
classified as held to maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold
them to maturity. After initial measurement, held to maturity investments are measured at
amortised cost using the EIR, less impairment. 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 income in the statement of profit or loss.
The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as finance
costs.
The Group did not have any held-to-maturity investments during the years ended 31 January
2014 and 2013.
AFS financial investments include equity investments and debt securities. Equity investments
classified as AFS are those that are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at fair
value through profit or loss. Debt securities in this category are those that are intended to be
held for an indefinite period of time and that may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or
in response to changes in the market conditions.
After initial measurement, AFS financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value
with unrealised gains or losses recognised in OCI and credited in the AFS reserve until the
investment is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognised in other
operating income, or the investment is determined to be impaired, when the cumulative
loss is reclassified from the AFS reserve to the statement of profit or loss. Interest earned whilst
holding AFS financial assets is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
The Group evaluates whether the ability and intention to sell its AFS financial assets in the
near term is still appropriate. When, in rare circumstances, the Group is unable to trade these
financial assets due to inactive markets, the Group may elect to reclassify these financial
assets if the management has the ability and intention to hold the assets for foreseeable
62 future or until maturity.
For a financial asset reclassified from the AFS category, the fair value carrying amount at the
date of reclassification becomes its new amortised cost and any previous gain or loss on the
asset that has been recognised in equity is amortised to profit or loss over the remaining life
of the investment using the EIR. Any difference between the new amortised cost and the
maturity amount is also amortised over the remaining life of the asset using the EIR. If the asset
is subsequently determined to be impaired, then the amount recorded in equity is reclassified
to the statement of profit or loss.
(c) Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of
similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the group’s consolidated
statement of financial position) when:
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a
‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all
the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered
into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks
and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of
the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues
to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In
that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the
associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the
Group has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is
measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount
of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.
The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that a financial
asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that
has occurred since the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’), has an impact on
the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be
reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of
debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal
payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and
observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash
flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether impairment exists
individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets
that are not individually significant.
If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually 63
assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial
assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets
that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to
be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
The amount of any impairment loss identified is measured as the difference between the asset’s
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected
credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows
is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the
loss is recognised in statement of profit or loss. Interest income (recorded as finance income in
the statement of profit or loss) continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount and
is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of
measuring the impairment loss. Loans together with the associated allowance are written off
when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has
been transferred to the Group. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment
loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised,
the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance
account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to finance costs in the statement
of profit or loss.
For AFS financial assets, the Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective
evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired.
In the case of equity investments classified as AFS, objective evidence would include a significant
or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost. ‘Significant’ is evaluated
against the original cost of the investment and ‘prolonged’ against the period in which the fair
value has been below its original cost.
When there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between
the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment
previously recognised in the statement of profit or loss – is removed from OCI and recognised in
the statement of profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through
profit or loss; increases in their fair value after impairment are recognised in OCI.
In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS, the impairment is assessed based on the same
criteria as financial assets carried at amortised cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment
is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortised cost and the current fair
value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in the statement of profit
or loss.
Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the
asset, using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring
the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of finance income. If, in a subsequent
year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to
an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the statement of profit or loss, the
impairment loss is reversed through the statement of profit or loss.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and
borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings
including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading
and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of
repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments
entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge
relationships as defined by MFRS 139. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as
held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are
designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in MFRS 139 are satisfied.
This is the category most relevant to the Group. 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.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group are those contracts that require a payment 65
to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to
make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial
guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction
costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability
is measured at the higher of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present
obligation at the reporting date and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.
(c) Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or
cancelled, or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same
lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts
is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement
of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts
and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps, to hedge its interest rate risks. Such
derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative
contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as
financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss,
except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognised in OCI and later reclassified
to profit or loss when the hedge item affects profit or loss.
3.16 Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Purchase costs and other costs incurred in bringing the trading goods and consumables to its present
location and condition are accounted for on a first in, first out basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be
impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group
estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or
cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
66 Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash
inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying
amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is
written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using
a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are
taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded
companies or other available fair value indicators.
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether
there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased.
If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously
recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to
determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal
is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed
the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss
been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit or loss
unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation
increase.
Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on
hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-
term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
3.19 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result
of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance
contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is
virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss net of
any reimbursement.
The Group makes contributions to the Employee Provident Fund in Malaysia, a defined contribution
pension scheme. Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are recognised as an expense
in the period in which the related service is performed.
The subsidiary of the Group, Yinson Production AS (formerly known as Fred. Olsen Production ASA)
operates a defined benefit pension plan, which providing post-employment benefits upon retirement.
The benefit to be received by employees depends on factors including length of service, retirement
date and future salary increment.
67
The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for
each plan by estimating the amount of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their
services in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and
the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the statement of financial
position date reflecting the maturity dates approximating to the terms of the Group’s obligations. The
calculation is performed by a qualified actuary.
Actuarial gains and losses will be recognized immediately in other comprehensive income
correspondingly affecting the net benefit liability or asset in the statement of financial position.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as
follows:
On 1 February 2013, the Group adopted the following new and amended MFRS and IC Interpretations
mandatory for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1 February 2013.
68 Adoption of the above standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the financial performance
or position of the Group except for those discussed below:
MFRS 11 replaces MFRS 131 Interests in Joint Ventures and IC Interpretation 113 Jointly-Controlled Entities –
Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers.
The classification of joint arrangements under MFRS 11 is determined based on the rights and obligations
of the parties to the joint arrangements by considering the structure, the legal form, the contractual terms
agreed by the parties to the arrangement and when relevant, other facts and circumstances. Under MFRS
11, joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures.
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement
have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a
joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net
assets of the arrangement.
MFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (“JCE”) using proportionate
consolidation. Instead, JCE that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the
equity method.
The application of this new standard has not affected the financial position of the Group. This is due to the
investment in a joint arrangement, Tinworth Pte. Ltd., acquired during the financial year is treated as a joint
venture and is accounted for using the equity method under MFRS 11.
MFRS 12 includes all disclosure requirements for interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and
structured entities. A number of new disclosures are required. This standard affects disclosures only and has
no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.
MFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under MFRS for all fair value measurements. MFRS 13 does
not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure
fair value under MFRS. MFRS 13 defines fair value as an exit price. As a result of the guidance in MFRS 13,
the Group re-assessed its policies for measuring fair values, in particular, its valuation inputs such as non-
performance risk for fair value measurement of liabilities. MFRS 13 also requires additional disclosures.
Application of MFRS 13 has not materiality impacted the fair value measurement of the Group. Additional
disclosures where required, are provided in the individual notes relating to the assets and liabilities whose
fair values were determined.
The amendments to MFRS 101 introduce a grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income.
Items that will be reclassified (“recycled”) to profit or loss at a future point in time (eg. net loss or gain on
available-for-sale financial assets) have to be presented separately from items that will not be reclassified
(eg. revaluation of land and buildings). The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on
the Group’s financial position or performance.
The amendments change the measurement principles of expected return on plan assets and remove the
accounting policy choice for recognition of actuarial gains and losses using the corridor method. Actuarial
gains and losses will be recognized immediately in other comprehensive income correspondingly affecting
the net benefit liability or asset in the statement of financial position.
As a consequence of the new MFRS 11 and MFRS 12, MFRS 128 is renamed as MFRS 128 Investments in
Associates and Joint Ventures. This new standard describes the application of the equity method to
investments in joint ventures in addition to associates.
The standards and interpretations that are issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the
Group’s and the Company’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Group and the Company intend
to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.
- Amendments to MFRS 132: Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities 1 January 2014
- Amendments to MFRS 10, MFRS 12 and MFRS 127: Investment Entities 1 January 2014
- Amendments to MFRS 136: Recoverable Amount 1 January 2014
Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
- Amendments to MFRS 139: Novation of Derivatives and 1 January 2014
Continuation of Hedge Accounting
- IC Interpretation 21 Levies 1 January 2014
- Amendments to MFRS 119: Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions 1 July 2014
- Annual Improvements to MFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle 1 July 2014
- Annual Improvements to MFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle 1 July 2014
The directors expect that the adoption of the above standards and interpretations will have no material
impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application except as discussed below:
MFRS 9 reflects the first phase of work on the replacement of MFRS 139 and applies to classification and
measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in MFRS 139. The standard was initially
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, but Amendments to MFRS 9: Mandatory
Effective Date of MFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures, issued in March 2012, moved the mandatory effective
date to 1 January 2015. Subsequently, on 14 February 2014, it was announced that the new effective date
will be decided when the project is closer to completion. The adoption of the first phase of MFRS 9 will have
an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but will not have an impact
on classification and measurements of the Group’s financial liabilities. The Group will quantify the effect in
conjunction with the other phases, when the final standard including all phases is issued.
The preparation of the Group’s and of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make
70 judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets
and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty
about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the
carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
(i) Judgments
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following
judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial
statements:
The Group has entered into property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Group has
determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the
lease term not constituting a substantial portion of the economic life of the property, that it retains all
the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as
operating leases.
Chartering of vessels to customers are recognised as revenue based on whether the charter contracts
are determined to be an operating lease or a finance lease in accordance with MFRS 117 Leases. The
classifications of the charter contracts are assessed at the inception of the lease.
If the terms and conditions of the lease contracts change subsequently, the management will reassess
whether the new arrangements would be classified as a new lease based on the prevailing market
conditions.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its
assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared.
Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to
market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected
in the assumptions when they occur.
The Group carries its investment properties at fair value, with changes in fair value being recognised in
the statement of profit or loss. The Group engaged an independent valuation specialist to assess fair
value as at 31 January 2014 for investment properties.
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable
amount,which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions,
conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for
disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The recoverable amount
is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and
the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.
Assumptions about residual value are based on prevailing market conditions and expected value to
be obtained from the vessel at the end of its useful life. These assumptions by their nature may differ
from actual outcome in the future. The residual value and the estimated useful life of a vessel will be
reviewed at least at each financial year-end, and where appropriate, the management will adjust the
residual value and useful life on individual vessel basis based on the particular conditions of the vessel.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of
unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and
the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
Significant judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets to be recognised,
based upon the likely timing and magnitude of future taxable profits together with future tax planning
strategies.

Domestic income tax is calculated at the Malaysian statutory tax rate of 25% (2013: 25%) of the estimated
assessable profit for the year.
Taxation for other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the respective jurisdictions.
The above reconciliation is prepared by aggregating separate reconciliations for each national jurisdiction.
The Malaysian corporate statutory tax rate is expected to reduce from 25% to 24% with effect from year of
assessment 2016 as announced in the 2014 Budget. The reduction in the corporate statutory tax rate has no
significant impact to the Group and the Company.

At the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, a final single tier dividend of 1.25 sen per ordinary shares in
respect of the financial year ended 31 January 2014, amounting to approximately RM12.91 million, will be
proposed for shareholders’ approval. The financial statements for the current financial year do not reflect
this proposed dividend. Such dividend, if approved by the shareholders, will be accounted for in equity as
an appropriation of retained earnings in the financial year ending 31 January 2015.

On 28 May 2013, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Yinson Production Limited (“YPL”)
with an issued and fully paid share capital of USD2,000.
On 31 December 2013, YPL acquired 100% equity interest in Yinson Production AS (“YPAS”) (formerly known
as Fred. Olsen Production ASA). Upon the acquisition, YPAS became a subsidiary of the Group.

YPAS, which was de-listed from the Oslo Stock Exchange after the acquisition, is a company incorporated in
Norway. YPAS and its subsidiaries (“YPAS Group”) own and operate two Floating, Production, Storage and
Offloading (“FPSO”) vessels in the international oil and gas market. YPAS Group also operates a production
jack-up, Operating of Mobile Offshore Production Unit (“MOPU”) for an oil company customer.

The Group has engaged an independent valuer to determine the fair values of the vessels and service
contracts attached to the vessels. As at 31 January 2014, the fair values of the vessels and net unfavourable
contracts amounting to approximately RM777 million and RM100 million respectively were determined on
a provisional basis as the results of the independent valuation had not been received by the date the
financial statements were authorised for issue. Gain on a bargain purchase arising from this acquisition, the
carrying amounts of the vessels and services contracts will be adjusted accordingly on a retrospective basis
when the valuation of the vessels and services contracts are finalised.

Employees in Yinson Production AS (YPAS) participated in a defined pension plan providing entitlement
to 70% of the salary at the time of retirement (based on length of service) up to a maximum amount of
Norwegian Krone 1.06 million, equivalent to approximately RM570,000. In addition, YPAS had unfunded
(unsecured) pension obligations covering senior executives equal to 66% of salary on retirement. The
general retirement age under the pension plan is 67 years except for four senior managers who have the
right to pension upon reaching 65 years of age.
Prior to 31 December 2013, the pension plan was administered by Fred. Olsen & Co’s Pensjonskasse. The
administration of pension funds is subject to the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (Kredittilsynet)
rules of capital management. The pension plan assets consist primarily of bonds, certificates and shares in
Norwegian stock listed companies. 14 employees were included in the pension plan at 31 December 2013.
The aforementioned pension plan qualifies under the minimum requirements for mandatory service
pension (“Obligatorisk Tjenestepensjon”) under the Norwegian law for Company Pensions (“Lov om
Foretakspensjon”).
Subsequent to the acquisition, the YPAS ended its membership in Fred. Olsen & Co’s Pensjonskasse and
established a defined contribution pension plan with effect from 1 January 2014.

The interest rate swaps are used to manage the exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates
arising from certain floating rate bank loans of the Group.
The fair values of the interest rate swaps are determined by using the price quoted by the counterparty
banks. Fair value of the interest rate swap is categorise as level 2. There is no transfer from level 1 and level
2 or out of level 3 during the financial year.

(a) Fair values of financial instruments that are carried at fair value (cont’d)
The Group classifies fair value measurement using the fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance
of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable.
There have been no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements during the
financial years ended 31 January 2014 and 31 January 2013.
(b) Financial instruments that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying amounts are reasonable
approximation of fair value
The following are classes of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying
amounts are reasonable approximation of fair value:
Note
The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair
values, either due to their short-term nature or that they are floating rate instruments that are re-priced
to market interest rates on or near the reporting date.
The carrying amounts of the current portion of loans and borrowings excluding obligations under finance
leases are reasonable approximations of fair values due to the insignificant impact of discounting.
The fair values of non-current loans and borrowings excluding obligations under finance leases are
estimated by discounting expected future cash flows at market incremental lending rate for similar
types of lending, borrowing or leasing arrangements at the reporting date.
Financial guarantees
Fair value is determined based on probability weighted discounted cash flow method. The probability
has been estimated and assigned for the following key assumptions:
- The likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting within the guarantee period;
- The exposure on the portion that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed party’s
default; and
(c) Fair values of financial instruments by classes that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying
amounts are not reasonable approximation of fair value

The Group’s principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise of loans and borrowings, trade
and other payables, and financial guarantee contracts. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to
108 finance the Group’s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Group’s principal
financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and short-term deposits that derive
directly from its operations. The Group also holds available-for-sale financial assets.
The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s senior management oversees
the management of these risks. The Group’s senior management is supported by a corporate finance team
that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Group. The
corporate finance team provides assurance to the Group’s senior management that the Group’s financial
risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified,
measured and managed in accordance with the Group’s policies and risk objectives. It is the Group’s
policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board of Directors
reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in market prices. Market risk comprise three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and
other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market
risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, available-for-sale financial assets and derivative financial
instruments.
The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at 31 January in 2014 and 2013.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes
in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s non-current loans and borrowings with
floating interest rates.
The Group manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and floating rate
loans and borrowings. The Group enters into interest rate swaps, in which it agrees to exchange,
at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amounts calculated
by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.
At the reporting date, if interest rates had been 10 basis points lower/higher, with all other variables
held constant, the Group’s profit before tax would have been approximately RM1,096,000 (2013:
RM333,000) higher/lower, 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.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument
will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk
of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group’s operating activities (when
revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the Group’s presentation
currency) and the Group’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries.
The Group has transactional currency exposures arising from sales or purchases that are
denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities,
primarily RM, USD and Vietnamese Dong (“VND”). The foreign currency in which these transactions
are denominated is mainly USD. 109
The Group holds cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies for working capital
purposes. The other financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies includes available-
for-sale financial assets, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and loans and
borrowings.
The Group is also exposed to currency translation risk arising from its net investment in foreign
operations in Vietnam, Labuan, Singapore and Norway. The Group’s investments in its foreign
subsidiaries, joint ventures and associate are not hedged as the currency position in these
investments are considered to be long-term in nature.
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD and SGD
exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Group’s profit before
tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. The Group’s exposure to
foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or
customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating
activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks
and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group’s established policy,
procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer
is assessed based on an individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment.
Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major
clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups
and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on actual incurred historical
data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class
of financial assets disclosed in statement of financial position. The Group does not hold collateral
as security. As at reporting date, approximately 57% (2013: 61%) of the Group’s trade receivables
are due from companies of a common group.
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Group’s finance
department in accordance with the Group’s policy. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by
the Group’s Board of Directors on an annual basis, and may be updated throughout the year. The
limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through
110 potential counterparty’s failure to make payments. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the
reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in statement of
financial position except for trade receivables as disclosed above.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial
obligations due to shortage of funds. The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises
primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Group’s objective is to
maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts,
bank loans and finance leases contracts.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s and the Company’s financial liabilities
based on contractual undiscounted repayment obligations.

For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services,
and has four reportable operating segments as follows:
(i) Transport - This segment includes the provision of commercial land transportation, haulage and shipping
services.
(ii) Marine - This segment comprises provision of vessel, barge and marine related services.
(iii) Trading - This segment comprises the trading activities mainly in the construction related materials
(iv) Other business segments include rental, insurance and investment income.
Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making
decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated
based on operating profit or loss which, in certain respects as explained in the table below, is measured
differently from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. Group financing (including
finance costs) and income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating
segments.
Segment information by geographical location has not been prepared as the Group’s operations are
predominantly located in Malaysia.

For the purpose of the Group’s capital management, capital includes issued capital, share premium and
all other equity reserves attributable to owners of the parent. The primary objective of the Group’s capital
management is to maximise the shareholder value.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group’s capital management, amongst other things, aims
to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that
define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank
to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any
interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and
the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust
the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group monitors
capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Group includes within
net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and short-term deposits.
