I. Board Responsibilities
The Board is collectively responsible for the oversight of the strategic direction of the Group by playing an active role in the
development of the Group’s strategies, taking into consideration sustainability matters such as economic, environmental

Non-Independent Non-Executive Director (“NINED”), one (1) Executive Director and the Group Managing Director (“GMD”).
The Board is headed by Datuk Tan Hiang Joo, the Independent Non-Executive Chairman.
There is a clear distinction and separation of roles and responsibilities between the Chairman of the Board and the GMD
to ensure a balance of power and authority for the running of the Board and the Company’s business, respectively. The
Chairman of the Board leads the Board in its collective oversight of management by focusing on strategy, governance
and compliance whereas the GMD manages the day-to-day operations of the Group and implementation of the Board’s
policies and decisions. He is supported by Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Senior Management that comprises Head

The Board meets at least five (5) times per annum, together with the GMD, CFO and when required, HOD and HBU, to review,
deliberate and guide the management on the implementation of the Group’s strategic plans. The Board also constantly
reviews the Group’s businesses and the performance of management through Key Performance Indicators, Interim
Progress Report, Project Progress Update Report and Quarterly Financial Reports and Audited Financial Statements,
5-Years Business Plan and its business strategies to ensure that the Group’s businesses are being properly managed and
necessary resources were in place for the Group to meet its goals and targets.
The Board is fully committed to achieving the highest standards of CG, professionalism and integrity not only to comply
with regulatory compliance but also to create and deliver long term sustainable value to its shareholders and other
stakeholders. The Board sets the tone in driving ethical culture and values within the Group.
The Board has established a Board Charter which defines the roles, responsibilities and authority of the Board, Board
Committees and individual Directors, including those issues and decisions reserved for the Board. It also serves as the
primary reference for prospective and existing Board members of their fiduciary duties as Director of the Company. The
matters which require the Board’s approval, amongst others, are as follows:-
The Board is supported by three (3) professionally qualified Company Secretaries. The Company Secretaries act as CG
counsels and ensure timely and appropriate information flow within the Board and Board Committees, and between the
Non-Executive Directors and Senior Management. They play an advisory role to the Board, particularly with regard to the
Company’s Constitution, Board policies and procedures, CG matters and its compliance with relevant laws, rules and
regulations. All Directors have unrestricted access to the advices and services of the Company Secretaries.

business associate who work for and/or act for or on behalf of the Group on how to deal with improper solicitation,
requests for bribes and other corrupt activities and issues that may arise in the course of business.

decision-making process. The INEDs are considered by the Board to be independent of management and free of any
business or other relationship or circumstance that could materially interfere with the exercise of objective, unfettered or
independent judgement. The Board has formalised and in place a Directors’ Independence Policy which gives a framework
to guide and govern the INEDs and their objectivities.

c) Reviewed the circular to shareholders in relation to the proposed renewal of shareholders’ mandate for RRPTs of a
revenue or trading nature which is necessary for the Group’s day-to-day operations and are in the ordinary course
of business on terms that are not more favourable to the related parties than those generally available to the public
(“Mandate for RRPTs”) and recommended to the Board for approval of release. At the 23rd AGM held on 25 July 2019,

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) using exchange rates at
the reporting date. The components of shareholders’ equity are stated at historical value.
Average exchange rates for the period are used to translate income and expense items of foreign operations.
However, if exchange rates fluctuate significantly, the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used.
All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in foreign
currency translation reserve (“FCTR”), a separate component of equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly owned
subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests.
Any goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and
liabilities of that foreign operation and, as such, translated at the closing rate.
On the disposal of a foreign operation, all of the exchange differences accumulated in FCTR in respect of that
operation attributable to the equity holders of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss. The cumulative amount
of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation that had been attributed to the non-controlling interests
are derecognised, but without reclassification to profit or loss. The same applies in case of loss of control, joint
control or significant influence.
On the partial disposal without loss of control of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the proportionate
share of exchange differences accumulated in the separate component of equity are re-attributed to non-controlling
interests (they are not recognised in profit or loss). For any other partial disposal of foreign entity (i.e. associates
or jointly controlled entities without loss of significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the
accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for all acquired businesses, whereby the identifiable assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition-date fair values (with few exceptions as
required by MFRS 3 Business Combinations).
The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum
of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, the liabilities incurred by the Group to the
former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group.
Acquisition-related costs (e.g. finder’s fees, consulting fees, administrative costs, etc.) are recognised as expenses
in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.
On acquisition date, goodwill is measured as the excess of the aggregate of consideration transferred, any non-
controlling interests in the acquiree, and acquisition-date fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest
in the acquiree (if business combination achieved in stages) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the
identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
If, after appropriate reassessment, the amount as calculated above is negative, it is recognised immediately in profit
or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
At acquisition date, non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their
holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation are measured at either fair value
or the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable
net assets. This choice of measurement is made separately for each business combination. Other components of
non-controlling interests are measured at their acquisition-date fair values, unless otherwise required by MFRS.
The acquisition-date fair value of any contingent consideration is recognised as part of the consideration transferred
by the Group in exchange for the acquiree. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration that result from
additional information obtained during the measurement period (maximum one year from the acquisition date)
about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date are adjusted retrospectively against goodwill.
Other changes resulting from events after the acquisition date are adjusted at each reporting date only when the
contingent consideration is classified as an asset or a liability and the adjustment is recognised in profit or loss.
In a business combination achieved in stages, the Group remeasures its previously held equity interest in the
acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. If any,
changes in the value of the Group’s equity interest in the acquiree that have been previously recognised in other
comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, if appropriate had that interest been disposed of directly.
EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020 77
All intragroup transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted associates and joint ventures are eliminated
against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investees. Unrealised losses are eliminated
in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly
attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will
flow to the Group and the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of
parts that are replaced is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are
recognised in the profit or loss as incurred. Cost also comprises the initial estimate of dismantling and removing
the asset and restoring the site on which it is located for which the Group and the Company are obligated to incur
when the asset is acquired, if applicable.
Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of
the asset and which has different useful lives, is depreciated separately.
After initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any, except for freehold land which is not depreciated.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of the assets to their residual values on a straight line basis over
their estimated useful lives.
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end to ensure
that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected
pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.
If expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting
estimate.
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued used of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the
disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the
sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
78 EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020
The Group has applied MFRS 16 Leases using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative
effect of initial application is recognised as an adjustment to retained earnings at 1 March 2019. Accordingly, the
comparative information presented for 2019 has not been restated – i.e. it is presented, as previously reported
under MFRS 117 Leases and related interpretations.
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a
period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the
use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:
• the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and
should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If
the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
• the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset
throughout the period of use; and
• the customer has the right to direct the use of the asset. The customer has this right when it has the
decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used.
In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined,
the customer has the right to direct the use of the asset if either the customer has the right to operate
the asset; or the customer designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it
will be used.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the
consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-
alone prices. However, for leases of properties in which the Group is a lessee, it has elected not to separate
non-lease components and will instead account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease
component.
(i) As a lessee
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The
right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability
adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct
costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the
underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at
the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot
be readily determined, the respective Group entities’ incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group
entities use their incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020 79
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
• fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments less any incentive receivable;
• variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate at
the commencement date;
• the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise; and
• penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The Group excludes variable lease payments that linked to future performance or usage of the underlying
asset from the lease liability. Instead, these payments are recognised in profit of loss in the period in
which the performance or use occurs.
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that
have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises the lease
payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(ii) As a lessor
When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease
or an operating lease.
To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers
substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the
case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease.
If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies MFRS 15 to allocate the
consideration in the contract based on the stand-alone selling prices.
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease
separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sublease with reference to the right-of-use asset
arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term
lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sublease as an
operating lease.
(i) As a lessee
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the
commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the
lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use asset are determined on the same basis as those
of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment
losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is re-measured
when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is
a revision of in-substance fixed lease payments, or if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the
amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment
of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
When the lease liability is re-measured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of
the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has
been reduced to zero.
80 EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020
(ii) As a lessor
The Group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on straight-line basis
over the lease term as part of “revenue”.
Leases are classified as finance leases if substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred
to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets and liabilities arising from finance lease contracts are initially recognised in the statement of financial
position at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum future
lease rentals.
After initial recognition, the depreciation policy applied is consistent with that for depreciable assets that are
owned. As a result, the depreciation recognised is calculated in accordance with the useful life stated for
property, plant and equipment (the Group and the Company does not hold leased intangible assets). In cases
where there is no reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the
asset is fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.
The interest element of rental obligations is charged to profit or loss over the period of the lease at a constant
rate on the balance of finance lease obligations outstanding.
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease
term. Incentives to take out operating leases are credited to the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.
Provision is made in the statement of financial position for the present value of the onerous element of
operating leases. This typically arises when the Group and the Company ceases to use premises and they
are left vacant to the end of the lease or are sublet at rentals, which fall short of the amount payable by the
Group and the Company under the lease.
3.5 Inventories
Land held for property development consists of land on which no significant development work has been
undertaken or where development activities are not expected to be completed within the normal operating
cycle. Such land is classified as non-current asset and is stated at lower of cost and net realisable value.
Costs associated with the acquisition of land includes the purchase price of the land, professional fees, stamp
duties, commissions, conversion fees and other relevant levies. Where an indication of impairment exists, the
carrying amount of the asset is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount.
Land held for property development is transferred to property development costs (under current assets) when
development activities have commenced and where the development activities can be completed within the
normal operating cycle.
Property development costs are stated at the lower of costs and net realisable value. The cost of land, related
development costs common to whole projects and direct building costs less cumulative amounts recognised
as expense in the profit or loss for property under development are carried in the statement of financial
position as property development costs. The property development cost is subsequently recognised as an
expense in profit or loss as and when the control of the inventory is transferred to the customer.
Property development cost of unsold unit is transferred to completed development unit once the development
is completed.
EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020 81
Unsold completed properties are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost of unsold completed properties held for sale comprise cost associated with the acquisition of land,
direct costs and appropriate proportions of common costs.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Building materials and resort operating supplies are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out basis and comprises the original cost of purchase plus the cost
of bringing the inventories to their intended location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs
necessary to make the sale.
Investment properties are held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, but not for sale in the
ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purpose.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The cost comprises the
purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure (e.g. professional fees for legal services, property
transfer taxes). The cost of self-constructed investment property includes the cost of materials and direct
labour, any other costs directly attributable to bring the investment property to a working condition for their
intended use and capitalised borrowing costs.
Subsequently, investment properties are carried at fair value at the reporting date and, unlike operational
properties, they are not depreciated. Fair value is based on active market prices adjusted as necessary to
reflect the specific assets’ location and condition. In cases where active market prices are not available, the
Group engages independent valuers who hold a recognised and relevant professional qualification. Changes in
fair value are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Where the fair value of the investment property under construction is not reliably determinable, the investment
property under construction is measured at cost until either its fair value becomes reliably determinable or
construction is complete, whichever is earlier.
Leased assets are not classified and accounted for as investment properties.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently
withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on
derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.
When an item of property, plant and equipment is transferred to investment property following a change in its
use, any difference arising at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the item immediately prior
to transfer and its fair value is recognised directly in equity as a revaluation of property, plant and equipment.
However, if a fair value gain reverses a previous impairment loss, the gain is recognised in profit or loss.
Upon disposal of an investment property, any surplus previously recorded in equity is transferred to retained
earnings; the transfer is not made through profit or loss.
When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment or inventories,
its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.
82 EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020
The carrying amounts of such assets are reviewed at each reporting date for indications of impairment and where
an asset is impaired, it is written down as an expense through profit or loss to its estimated recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell of the individual asset or the
cash-generating unit.
The 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. If this is the case, recoverable amount
is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows of that unit. Present values are computed using
pre-tax discount rates that reflect the time value of money and the risks specific to the unit which impairment is
being measured.
Impairment losses for cash-generating units are allocated first against the goodwill of the unit and then pro rata
amongst the other assets of the unit.
Subsequent increases in the recoverable amount caused by changes in estimates are credited to profit or loss to
the extent that they reverse the impairment.
The Group and the Company recognise a financial asset or a financial liability (including derivative instruments)
in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the Company become a party to
the contractual provisions of the instruments.
On initial recognition, all financial assets and financial liabilities (including intra-group payables) are measured
at fair value plus or minus transaction costs if the financial asset or financial liability is not measured at fair
value through profit or loss. For instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs
are expensed to profit or loss when incurred.
For derecognition purposes, the Group and the Company first determine whether a financial asset or a
financial liability should be derecognised in its entirety as a single item or derecognised part-by-part of a
single item or of a group of similar items.
A financial asset, whether as a single item or as a part, is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual
rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the Group and the Company transfer
the contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset, including circumstances when the Group
and the Company act only as a collecting agent of the transferee, and retain no significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset or no continuing involvement in the control of the financial asset transferred.
A financial liability is derecognised when, and only when, it is legally extinguished, which is either when the
obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. A substantial modification of the
terms of an existing financial liability is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability
and the recognition of a new financial liability. For this purpose, the Group and the Company consider a
modification as substantial if the present value of the revised cash flows of the modified terms discounted
at the original effective interest rate is different by 10% or more when compared with the carrying amount of
the original liability.
EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020 83
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, the Group and the Company classify financial assets into
three measurement categories, namely: (i) financial assets at amortised cost (“AC”); (ii) financial assets at
fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) and (iii) financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss (“FVPL”). The classification is based on the Group’s and the Company’s business model objective for
managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial instruments.
After initial recognition, the Group and the Company measure financial assets as follow:
A financial asset is measured at AC if: (a) it is held within the Group’s and the Company’s business
objective to hold the asset only to collect contractual cash flows, and (b) the contractual terms of the
financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
in principal outstanding.
Typically, trade and other receivables (excluding prepayments) and cash and cash equivalents are
classified as financial assets at AC.
A financial asset is measured at FVPL if it is an equity investment, held for trading (including derivative
assets) or if it does not meet any of the condition specified for the AC or FVOCI model.
For the financial year ended on 29 February 2020 and 28 February 2019, the Group and the Company did not
carry any financial assets classified as FVOCI.
Other than financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, all other financial assets are subject
to review for impairment in accordance with Note 3.8(g).
After initial recognition, the Group and the Company measure all financial liabilities at amortised cost using
the effective interest method.
The fair value of a financial asset or a financial liability is determined by reference to the quoted market price
in an active market, and in the absence of an observable market price, by a valuation technique as described
in Note 3.22.
Fair value changes of financial assets and financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss
are recognised in profit or loss when they arise.
For financial assets and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost, interest income and interest expense are
recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss
only when the financial asset or financial liability is derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation
process of the instrument.
84 EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020
The Group and the Company apply the expected credit loss (“ECL”) model of MFRS 9 to recognise impairment
losses of financial assets measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Except for trade receivables, a 12-month ECL is recognised in profit or loss on the date of origination or
purchase of the financial assets. At the end of each reporting period, the Group and the Company assess
whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk of a financial asset since its initial recognition or
at the end of the prior period. Other than for financial assets which are considered to be of low risk grade, a
lifetime ECL is recognised if there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. For
trade receivables, the Group and the Company have availed the exception to the 12-month ECL requirement
to recognise only lifetime ECLs.
The assessment of whether credit risk has increased significantly is based on quantitative and qualitative
information that include financial evaluation of the creditworthiness of the debtors or issuers of the
instruments, ageing of receivables, defaults and past due amounts, past experiences with the debtors, current
conditions and reasonable forecast of future economic conditions.
The ECL is measured using an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating
a range of possible outcomes, discounted for the time value of money and applying reasonable and
supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events,
current conditions, and forecast of future economic conditions. The ECL for a financial asset (when assessed
individually) or a group of financial assets (when assessed collectively) is measured at the present value of
the probability-weighted expected cash shortfalls over life of the financial asset or group of financial assets.
When a financial asset is determined as credit-impaired (based on objective evidence of impairment), the
lifetime ECL is determined individually.
For trade receivable, the lifetime ECL is determined at the end of each reporting period using a provision matrix.
For each significant receivable, individual lifetime ECL is assessed separately. For significant receivables
which are not impaired and for all other receivables, they are grouped into risk classes by type of customers
and businesses, and the ageing of the receivables. Collective lifetime ECLs are determined using past loss
rates, which are updated for effects of current conditions and reasonable forecasts for future economic
conditions. In the event that the economic or industry outlook is expected to worsen, the past loss rates are
increased to reflect the worsening economic conditions.
The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that the Group incurs to obtain a contract with a
customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, a sales commission).
These costs are recognised in contract assets if the Group expects to recover those costs.
These contract costs are initially measured at cost and amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with
the pattern of revenue recognition to which the asset relates. An impairment loss is recognised in the profit or
loss when the carrying amount of the contract costs exceed the expected revenue less expected cost that will
be incurred. Where the impairment condition no longer exists or has improved, the impairment loss is reversed
to the extent that the carrying amount of the contract costs does not exceed the amount that would have been
recognised had there been no impairment loss recognised previously.
EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020 85
Contract asset is the right to consideration for goods and services transferred to the customers. In the case of
property development and construction contracts, contract asset is the excess of cumulative revenue earned over
the billings to date. Contract asset is stated at cost less accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods and services to customer for which the Group has received
the consideration or has billed the customer. In the case of property development and construction contracts,
contract liability is the excess of the billings to date over the cumulative revenue earned.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term,
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the statements of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts,
which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statements of financial position.
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly
attributable transactions costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently
measured at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the profit
or loss over the period of the loans and borrowings using the effective interest method.
Interest relating to financial liabilities is reported within finance cost in the profit or loss.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of
the liability for at least twelve (12) months after the reporting date.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is
capitalised as part of the cost of the asset until when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset
for its intended use or sale are complete, after which such expense is charged to profit or loss. A qualifying asset is
an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Capitalisation
of borrowing costs is suspended during extended periods in which active development is interrupted.
The amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is the actual borrowing costs incurred on the borrowing
during the period less any investment income from temporary investment of the borrowing.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
3.13 Equity
Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. Ordinary shares are
classified as equity. Equity instruments are recognised at the amount of proceeds received net of costs directly
attributable to the transaction.
Dividends to shareholders are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared.
If the Company reacquires its own equity instruments, the consideration paid, including any attributable transaction
costs is deducted from equity as treasury shares until they are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the
Company’s own equity instruments. Where such shares are issued by resale, the difference between the sales
consideration and the carrying amount is shown as a movement in equity.
86 EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event, when 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. Changes in estimates are reflected in profit or loss in
the period they arise.
Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision will be discounted to its present
value at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the liability.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the
provision will be reversed.
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. If the Group has a contract that is onerous, the present
obligation under the contract shall be recognised and measured as a provision.
Contracts with customers may include multiple promises to customers and therefore accounted for as separate
performance obligations. In this case, the transaction price will be allocated to each performance obligation based
on the stand-alone selling prices. When these are not directly observable, they are estimated based on expected
cost plus margin.
The revenue from property development is measured at the fixed transaction price agreed under the sale and
purchase agreement net of expected liquidated ascertained damages (“LAD”) payment, based on the expected
value method.
Revenue from property development is recognised as and when the control of the asset is transferred to the
customer and it is probable that the Group will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for
the asset that will be transferred to the customer. Depending on the terms of the contract and the laws that apply
to the contract, control of the asset may transfer over time or at a point in time. Control of the asset is transferred
over time if the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group
has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
• the promised properties are specifically identified by its plot, lot and parcel number and its attributes (such as
its size and location) in the sale and purchase agreements and the attached layout plan and the purchasers
could enforce its rights to the promised properties if the Group seeks to sell the unit to another purchaser.
The contractual restriction on the Group’s ability to direct the promised residential property for another use is
substantive and the promised properties sold to the purchasers do not have an alternative use to the Group; and
• the Group has the right to payment for performance completed to date and is entitled to continue to transfer
to the customer the development units promised and has the rights to complete the construction of the
properties and enforce its rights to full payment.
If control of the asset transfers over time, revenue is recognised over the period of contract by reference to the
progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a
point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset.
When the outcome of property development contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to
the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.
The Group recognises revenue over time using the input method, which is based on the actual cost incurred to date
on the property development project as compared to the total budgeted cost for the respective development projects.
The Group recognises revenue at a point in time for the sale of completed properties, when the control of the
properties has been transferred to the purchasers, being when the properties have been completed and delivered
to the customers and it is probable that the Group will collect the considerations to which it will be entitled to in
exchange for the assets sold.
EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020 87
Revenue from sale of goods, building materials and playground materials are recognised at a point in time
when control of the goods is passed to the customer, which is the point in time when the significant risks
and rewards are transferred to the customer and the transaction has met the probability of inflows and
measurement reliability requirements of MFRS 15.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivables, which is usually the invoice
price, net of a trade discounts and volume rebates given to the customer.
Revenue from the provision of tuition, sports and recreation services is recognised at a point in time upon
rendering of these services unless collectability is in doubt.
Under such contracts, the Group is engaged to construct buildings and related infrastructure. These contracts
may include multiple promises to the customers and therefore accounted for as separate performance
obligations.
The fair value of the revenue, which is based on fixed price under the agreement will be allocated based on
relative stand-alone selling price of the considerations of each of the separate performance obligations.
The Group recognises construction revenue over time as the project being constructed has no alternative use
to the Group and it has an enforceable right to the payment for performance completed to date. The stage
of completion is measured using the input method, which is based on the total actual construction costs
incurred to date as compared to the total budgeted costs for the respective construction projects.
When the outcome of construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the
extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.
Entrance fees collected for right of enjoyment of facilities are recognised at a point in time when tickets are sold.
Wages, salaries, social security contributions, paid annual leave, paid sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary
benefits are recognised as an expense in the year when employees have rendered their services to the Group
and the Company.
Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised as an expense
when employees render services that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term
non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave is recognised when the absences occur.
Bonuses are recognised as an expense when there is a present, legal or constructive obligation to make
such payments, as a result of past events and when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation.
88 EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020
As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the Employees’ Provident Fund (“EPF”). The
contributions are recognised as a liability after deducting any contribution already paid and as an expense
in profit or loss in the period in which the employee render their services. Once the contributions have been
paid, the Group and the Company have no further payment obligations.
Tax currently payable is calculated using the tax rates in force or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Taxable profit differs from accounting profit either because some income and expenses are never taxable or
deductible, or because the time pattern that they are taxable or deductible differs between tax law and their
accounting treatment.
Using the statement of financial position liability method, deferred tax is recognised in respect of all temporary
differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and the
corresponding tax base, with the exception of goodwill not deductible for tax purposes and temporary differences
arising on initial recognition of assets and liabilities that do not affect taxable or accounting profit.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or
the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the Group and the Company consider that it is probable
(i.e. more likely than not) that there will be sufficient taxable profits available for the asset to be utilised within the
same tax jurisdiction.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax
assets against current tax liabilities, they relate to the same tax authority and the Group’s and the Company’s
intention is to settle the amounts on a net basis.
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except if it
arises from transactions or events that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this
case, the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Since the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference associated with interests
in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements, a deferred tax liability is recognised only when it is probable
that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future mainly because of a dividend distribution.
At present, no provision is made for the additional tax that would be payable if the subsidiaries in certain countries
remitted their profits because such remittances are not probable, as the Group intends to retain the funds to
finance organic growth locally. As far as joint arrangements and associates are concerned, the Group is not in a
position to determine their dividend policies. As a result, all significant deferred tax liabilities for all such taxable
temporary differences are recognised.
Where investment properties are carried at their fair value in accordance with the accounting policy set out in
Note 3.6, the amount of deferred tax recognised is measured using the tax rates that would apply on sale of
those assets at their carrying value at the reporting date unless the property is depreciable and is held with
the objective to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the property over time, rather
than through sale. In all other cases, the amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected
manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020 89
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated
financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which are the Company’s functional and presentation
currency.
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency of the concerned
entity of the Group using the exchange rates at the reporting date. Gains and losses arising from changes
in exchange rates after the date of the transaction are recognised in profit or loss (except when deferred in
other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges).
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are
translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Translation differences on non-monetary items
that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when
the fair value is determined.
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares (“EPS”).
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group and the
Company or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a
liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The Group and the Company do not
recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group and the
Company. The Group and the Company do not recognise contingent assets but disclose its existence where
inflows of economic benefits are probable, but not virtually certain.
In the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group under business combinations, contingent liabilities assumed
are measured initially at their fair value at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling
interest.
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transaction with any of the Group’s
other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating
Decision Maker, which in this case is the Managing Director of the Group, to make decisions about resources to be
allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
90 EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020
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. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the
Group and the Company use market observable data to the extent possible. If the fair value of an asset or a liability
is not directly observable, it is estimated by the Group and the Company (working closely with external qualified
valuers) using valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use
of unobservable inputs (e.g. by use of the market comparable approach that reflects recent transaction prices
for similar items, discounted cash flow analysis, or option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer’s specific
circumstances). Inputs used are consistent with the characteristics of the asset/liability that market participants
would take into account.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the degree to which the inputs to
the measurement are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
• Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within
Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from
prices).
• Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset
or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognised by the Group and the Company at the end of
the reporting period during which the change occurred.
For the preparation of the financial statements, the following accounting standards, amendments and
interpretations of the MFRS framework issued by the MASB are mandatory for the first time for the financial year

EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020 91
The following are accounting standards, amendments and interpretations of the MFRS framework that have
been issued by the MASB but have not yet effective in current financial reporting period of the Group and of the

1 March 2020 for those accounting standards, amendments and interpretations that are effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
Amendments to MFRS 4 Insurance Contracts – Applying MFRS 9 Financial Instruments with MFRS 4 Insurance
Contracts and MFRS 17 Insurance Contracts have not been taken into consideration because they are not
applicable to the Group and the Company.
In March 2019, IFRIC published an agenda decision on borrowings costs confirming receivables, contract assets
and inventories for which revenue is recognised over time are non-qualification assets. On 20 March 2019, the
Malaysian Accounting Standards Board decided an entity shall apply the change in accounting policy as a result
of the IFRIC Agenda Decision to financial statements of annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2020.
The Group is currently in the process of obtaining new information and adapting its systems to implement this
change in accounting policy. The implementation results would be reported during the financial year ending 28
February 2022.
The following are judgements made by management in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies
that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
(i) Classification between investment properties and property, plant and equipment
The Group has developed certain criteria based on MFRS 140 Investment Property in making judgement
whether a property qualifies as an investment property. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals
or for capital appreciation or both.
Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another
portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purpose. If
these portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease), the Group would
account for the portions separately. If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is an investment
property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for
administrative purposes. Judgement is made on an individual property basis to determine whether ancillary
services are so significant that a property does not qualify as investment property.
The following are 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.
The Group recognises property development revenue and costs in the profit or loss by using the percentage of
completion method. The percentage of completion is determined by the proportion that property development
costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total property development costs.
Significant judgement is required in determining the extent of property development costs incurred and
the total estimated costs of property development, which in turn is used to determine the percentage of
completion and gross profit margin of property development activities undertaken by the Group, the potential
liquidated ascertained damages (“LAD”) payment, as well as the recoverability of the contracts. In making
these judgements, management relies on past experience and the work of specialists.
Revenue and cost of sales from property development activities are as disclosed in Notes 31 and 32
respectively.
The Group recognises impairment losses for trade receivables under the expected credit loss model.
Individually significant trade receivables are tested for impairment separately by estimating the cash
flows expected to be recoverable. All others are grouped into credit risk classes and tested for impairment
collectively, using the Group’s past experience of loss statistics, ageing of past due amounts and current
economic trends. The actual eventual losses may be different from the allowance made and this may affect
the Group’s financial positions and results.
Management’s judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets
and liabilities and the extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised. There are transactions and
computations for which the ultimate tax determination may be different from the initial estimate.
The Group and the Company recognise tax liabilities based on its understanding of the prevailing tax laws
and estimates of whether such taxes will be due in the ordinary course of business. Where the final outcome
of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such difference will impact the
income tax and deferred tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses, unabsorbed capital allowances and other
deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against
which the tax losses, capital allowances and other deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Significant management’s judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be
recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning
strategies.
Income tax expenses and deferred tax assets/liabilities are as disclosed in Notes 34 and 12 respectively.
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line
method or another systematic method that reflects the consumption of the economic benefits of the asset
over its useful life. Estimates are applied in the selection of the depreciation method, the useful lives and the
residual values. The actual consumption of the economic benefits of the property, plant and equipment and
right-of-use asset may differ from the estimates applied.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are as disclosed in Notes 6 and 7
respectively.
The fair value of each investment property is individually determined by independent registered valuer based
on Cost and Investment Methods and Comparison Method of valuation on regular intervals.
The valuer has relied on the discounted cash flow analysis and the comparison method. These methodologies
are based upon estimates of future results and a set of assumptions specific to each property to reflect its
income and cash flow profile.
In the years that no valuation performed by the independent registered valuer, the directors will perform
the valuation based on the occupancy rate and rental yield. Comparison and reference will be made to the
valuation previously performed by the independent registered valuer on that particular property.
Some of the Group’s and the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial
reporting purposes. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group and the Company use
market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available (e.g. for unquoted
investments), the Group and the Company work closely with external qualified valuers who perform the
valuation, based on agreed appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model (e.g. use of the market
comparable approach that reflects recent transaction prices for similar instruments, discounted cash flow
analysis, option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer’s specific circumstances). Prices determined then
by the valuers are used by the Group and the Company without adjustment.
Changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities and their causes are quarterly analysed by the management
of Group and of the Company. Such valuations require the Group and the Company to select among a range of
different valuation methodologies and to make estimates about expected future cash flows and discount rates.

For short-term leases with lease term of 12 months or less and for leases of low-value assets of less than RM20,000,
the Group has availed the exemption in MFRS 16 not to recognise the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Instead,
payments made for these leases are recognised as expense when incurred (Note 33).
The Group applied judgement and assumptions in determining the incremental borrowing rate of the respective
leases. Group entities first determine the closest available borrowing rates before using significant judgement to
determine the adjustments required to reflect the term, security, value or economic environment of the respective
leases.

The Group does not have investment properties which are held under lease terms.
The fair value of the investment properties was determined by the management at RM45,751,000 (2019: RM48,233,000)
based on comparison of recent transacted price of similar properties and desktop valuation performed by an independent
valuer adopting market value comparison method.

Level 1 fair value is derived from quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investment properties that the
entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the
investment property, either directly or indirectly.
Level 2 fair values of land and buildings have been generally derived using the sales comparison approach. Sales price
of comparable properties in close proximity are adjusted for the differences in key attributes such as property size. The
most significant input into this valuation approach is price per square foot of comparable properties.
The fair value hierarchy of all the investment properties of the Group are within the definition of Level 2 fair value.
Level 3 fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs for the investment property.
The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or changes in
circumstances that caused the transfer.
There is no transfer between Level 1 and 2 fair values during the financial year.

The Group’s overall financial risk management objective is to ensure that the Group value for its shareholders whilst
minimising the potential adverse effects on the performance of the Group. Financial risk management is carried out
through risk reviews, internal control systems and adherence to the Group’s financial risk management policies, set out
as follows:
The Group is actively managing its operating cash flow to suit the debt maturity so to ensure all commitments and
funding needs are met. As part of the overall liquidity management, it is the Group’s policy to ensure continuity in
servicing its cash obligations in the future by forecasting its cash commitments and maintaining sufficient levels of
cash or cash equivalents to meet its working capital requirements. In addition, the Group also maintains available
banking facilities sufficient to meet its operational needs.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s liabilities at the reporting date based on contracted
undiscounted repayment obligations.

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and other prices
that will affect the Group’s and the Company’s financial position or cash flows.
The Group is exposed to currency exchange risk as a result of the foreign currency denominated transactions
entered into by the Group during the course of business. The currency involved is Australian Dollar. In addition,
subsidiaries operating in Australia have assets and liabilities together with expected cash flows from anticipated
transactions denominated in foreign currency that give rise to foreign exchange exposure.
The Group monitors the movement in foreign currency exchange rates closely to ensure its exposures are
minimised. The Group does not enter into any hedging contract to hedge this risk. The directors are of the view
that there is no material impact and hence no sensitivity analysis could be presented.
The net unhedged financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group that are not denominated in their
functional currency is as follow: -

The Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
Interest rate exposure arises from the Group’s borrowings and is managed through the use of fixed and floating
rate debts. The fixed rate borrowings expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk which is partially offset
by borrowings obtained at floating rate. The Group’s floating rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change
in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. Investments in equity securities and short term receivables
and payables are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk. The Group does not use derivative financial
instruments to hedge its risk.
The Group also earns interest income derived from the placement of short-term deposits with licensed banks
and financial institutions.
The Group regularly reviews these risks and takes proactive measures to mitigate the potential impact of such risk.
The Group does not account for any fixed rate instruments at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a
change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect the profit or loss.
A change of 25 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would result in the profit net of tax to be
higher/(lower) by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

Equity price risk arises from the Group’s investments in equity securities.
There are no material investments in equity securities to the Group and hence no sensitivity analysis has been
presented.
Credit risk arises when sales are made on deferred credit terms. The Group controls these risks by the application
of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Credit risks are minimised and monitored by strictly limiting
the Group’s associations to business partners with high creditworthiness. Trade receivables are monitored on an
ongoing basis via Group management reporting procedures. The Group does not have any significant exposure
to any individual customer or counterparty nor does it have any major concentration of credit risk related to any
financial instrument.
The credit quality of trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are substantially amounts due from
customers with good collection track record with the Group. Management will continuously monitor closely the trade
receivables which are past due.
The Group does not have any significant credit risk from its property development activities as its services and
products are predominantly rendered and sold to a large number of property purchasers using financing from
reputable end-financiers.
Trade receivables are monitored on an on-going basis via Group management reporting procedures. The Group
does not have any significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty nor does the Group have any
major concentration of credit risk related to any financial instruments. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables
are limited as the ownership and rights to the properties revert to the Group in the event of default.
Credit risks arising from outstanding receivables from the tenants are minimised and monitored by strictly limiting
the Group’s association to business partners with high creditworthiness. Furthermore, the tenants have placed
security deposits with the Group which acts as collateral. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond
amounts allowed for collection losses is inherent in the Group’s trade receivables.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the Group’s large number of customers.
The Group’s historical experience in collection of trade receivables fall within the recorded allowances. Due to these
factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts allowed for collections losses is inherent in the Group’s trade
receivables.
Concentration of credit risk arising from deposits with licensed banks is limited as bank deposits are held with banks
with strong financial strength.

The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in
circumstances that caused the transfer.
Level 1 fair value is derived from quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities
that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the
financial assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal
and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the end of the reporting period. In respect of the
liability component of convertible notes, the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar liabilities that
do not have a conversion option. For other borrowings, the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar
borrowing arrangements.
There has been no transfer between Level 1 and 2 fair values during the financial year (2019: no transfer in either
directions).
Level 3 fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs for the financial assets and liabilities.
Fair value which is determine for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and
interest cash flow, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting period.
The interest rates used to discount estimated cash flows, when applicable, are as follows:

The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management
Discussion and Analysis and Directors’ Reports included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements
of the Group and of the Company and our auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements
of the Group and of the Company or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Company
that give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting
Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the
Company that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s
and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Company or to
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing,
we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s and the Company’s
internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the directors.
EUPE CORPORATION BERHAD Registration no.199601005416 (377762-V) ANNUAL REPORT 2020 141
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the Group’s or the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,
we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements of the Group
and of the Company or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the
Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Company represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within
the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements of the Group. We are responsible for the direction, supervision
and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on
our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit
of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current financial year and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the
matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of
such communication.
In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia, we report that the subsidiaries of which we
have not acted as auditors, are disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements.
Other Matters
This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of the Companies Act
2016 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.

6. Ordinary Resolution 9
Proposed Gratuity Payment
Dato’ Paduka Haji Ismail bin Haji Shafie (“Dato’ Paduka Haji Ismail”) was appointed to the Board as INED of the Company on 24
September 2010. He was subsequently re-designated as Senior INED in January 2018. Dato’ Paduka Haji Ismail had resigned
from his position as Senior INED of the Company on 16 January 2020. Throughout his tenure with the Company, Dato’ Paduka
Haji Ismail had exhibited high level of commitment and exercised due care in carrying out his duties as Director of the Company.
The Proposed Gratuity Payment is in recognition of Dato’ Paduka Haji Ismail’s commitment, dedication and contribution to the
Company, and is a gesture of appreciation for his 10 years of service with the Company. The Proposed Gratuity Payment of
RM30,000 would be a one-off payment and shall be payable upon the approval from shareholders at the 24th AGM.
7. Ordinary Resolution 10
Authority to issue and allot shares pursuant to Sections 75 and 76 of the Act
The proposed resolution, if passed, will empower the Directors to issue and allot ordinary shares up to 20% of the total number of
the issued shares (excluding treasury shares) of the Company for such purposes as the Directors consider would be in the best
interest of the Company. This authority will continue to be in force until 31 December 2021, unless such approval is revoked or
varied by the Company in a general meeting.
The Company had, at the last AGM held on 25 July 2019, obtained the mandate from the shareholders to allot up to a maximum
of 10% of the total number of issued shares of the Company. Having considered the unprecedented uncertainty arising from
the global COVID-19 outbreak and future financial needs of the Group, the Board of Directors is desirous to seek shareholders’
mandate to allot up to a maximum of 20% of the total number of issued shares of the Company in order to raise funds quickly
and efficiently during this challenging time.
The mandate is to provide flexibility to the Company to issue new securities without the need to convene separate general meeting
to obtain its shareholders’ approval so as to avoid incurring additional costs and time. This is also for any possible fund-raising
activities, including but not limited to further placing of shares, for purpose of funding current and/or future investment project(s),
working capital and/or acquisition as the Directors may deem fit in the best interest of the Company.
The Board, having considered the current and prospective financial positions of the Company, is of the view that the mandate is in
the best interest of the Company to safeguard the interest of the Company and the shareholders to ensure long term sustainability
of the Company.
As at the date of this Notice, no new shares in the Company were issued pursuant to the mandate granted to the Directors at the
23rd AGM held on 25 July 2019 and the mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the 24th AGM.
8. Ordinary Resolution 11
Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate for Share Buy-Back
The Ordinary Resolution 11, if passed, will enable the Directors of the Company to purchase Company’s shares up to 10% of the
total number of the issued shares of the Company. This authority, unless revoked or varied at a general meeting, will expire at the
next AGM of the Company.
The Company has not purchased any of its own shares since obtaining the said mandate from its shareholders at the last AGM
held on 25 July 2019.
Further information relating to the Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate for Share Buy-Back are set out in Part A of the
Company’s Statement/Circular to Shareholders dated 25 June 2020 which is available at www.eupe.com.my/annual-reports-2020.
9. Ordinary Resolution 12
Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate for RRPTs
This proposed resolution, if passed, will allow the Group to enter into RRPTs with its related parties in accordance with the Listing
Requirements without the necessity to convene separate general meetings to seek shareholders’ approval as and when such
RRPTs occur. This would reduce substantial administrative time and expenses associated with the convening of such meetings
without compromising the corporate objectives of the Group or affecting the business opportunities available to the Group. This
authority, unless revoked or varied at a general meeting, will expire at the next AGM of the Company and is subject to renewal on
an annual basis.
Further details relating to this proposed resolution are set out in Part B of the Company’s Statement/Circular to Shareholders
dated 25 June 2020, which is available at www.eupe.com.my/annual-reports-2020.
