OKA CORPORATION BHD
The Board of Directors (“the Board”) of OKA Corporation Bhd (“Company” or “OKA”) acknowledges the importance of
practicing good corporate governance practices under the leadership of the Board, as guided by the new Malaysian
Code on Corporate Governance (“MCCG”). It is being applied as a fundamental part of discharging the directors’
responsibilities to protect and to enhance shareholders’ value.
The Board of OKA presents this statement to provide shareholders and investors with an overview of the corporate
governance (“CG”) practices of the Company under the leadership of the Board during the financial year ended
31 March 2020. This statement takes guidance from the key CG principles as set out in the MCCG. The detailed
application for each practice as set out in the MCCG is disclosed in the Corporate Governance Report 2020 (“CG
Report 2020”) which is available on the Company website at http://www.oka.com.my
The Board is responsible for formulating the strategic plans, and establishing visions and goals for
delivery of long-term values, and ensures effective leadership through oversight on management and
continuously monitoring, overseeing and evaluating the Group’s strategies, policies and performance so
as to protect and to enhance shareholders and other stakeholders’ value.
There is a division of functions between the Board and the Management. The Board is focused on
the Group’s overall governance by ensuring the implementation of strategic plans and objectives are
in line with its vision and missions; and that accountability to the Group and stakeholders is monitored
effectively. The Board does not actively manage but rather oversees the overall management of the
Group which is delegated to the Group Managing Director, Executive Directors and other officers of the
Group. The Management supports the Group Managing Director in managing the financial and general
operations of the Group.
To ensure the effective discharge of its function and responsibilities, the Board delegates some of the
Board’s authorities and discretion to the properly constituted Board Committees, namely the Audit
Committee, Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee, which are entrusted with specific
responsibilities to oversee the Group’s affairs, with authority to act on behalf of the Board in accordance
with their respective Terms of Reference. The ultimate responsibility for the final decision on all matters
deliberated in these Committees, however, lies with the Board. Besides that, the Chairman of the relevant
Board Committees also reports to the Board on key issues deliberated by the Board Committees at their
respective meetings.
The Board may also delegate specific functions to ad hoc committees as and when required. The powers
delegated to these committees are set out in the Terms of Reference of each of the Committees as
approved by the Board.
The Independent Non-Executive Directors provide objective and independent judgement to the decision
making of the Board which provides an effective check and balance to the Board’s decision-making
process.
The Chairman is primarily responsible for matters pertaining to the Board and the overall conducts of the
Group. The Chairman is committed to good corporate governance practices and has been leading the
Board towards achieving the Company’s goals.
14
ANNUAL REPORT 2020
The roles and responsibilities of the Chairman and Managing Director are clearly segregated to further
enhance and preserve a balance of authority, power and accountability. The Chairman is responsible

ANNUAL REPORT 2020
1. Introduction
The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance requires listed companies to maintain a sound system of risk
management and internal control to safeguard shareholders’ investments and the Group’s assets. Pursuant
to Paragraph 15.26(b) of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Main Market Listing Requirements and the
Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers, the Board of
Directors of OKA Corporation Bhd (“the Board”) is pleased to make the following statement which outlines the
nature and scope of the risk management and internal control of the Group for the financial year ended 31
March 2020.
2. Board’s Responsibilities
The Board recognises that internal control is an integral part of managing risks in an effort to achieve
corporate objectives. As such, the Board acknowledges its responsibilities in maintaining as well as reviewing
the adequacy and integrity of the Group’s system of risk management and internal control which provides
reasonable assurance of effective and efficient operations, financial controls and compliance with laws and
regulations together with internally set procedures and guidelines safeguarding shareholders’ investments
and the Group’s assets. The Group’s system of risk management and internal control is designed to provide
reasonable but not absolute assurance against risks of material errors, fraud or losses from occurring. In view
of the limitations that are inherent in any system of risk management and internal control, the Group’s system
of risk management and internal control is applied to manage rather than to eliminate the risk of failure in
achieving the business objectives.
The Group’s Internal Audit function has been outsourced to a firm of consultants (“Internal Auditors”).
The internal audit function provides assurance of the effectiveness of the system of risk management and
internal control within the Group. The Internal Auditors conduct independent reviews of the key activities within
the Group’s operating units based on a 2-year Audit Plan which was approved by the Board. The Internal
Auditors would report to the Audit Committee on risk and control matters of significance; including suspected
fraud, illegal or irregular acts and material misstatements, if any. Any areas identified for improvements during
the course of audit are also brought up to the attention of the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee considers the findings from internal audit and management, before reporting and making
recommendations to the Board. The Audit Committee presents its findings to the Board during the quarterly
Board meetings.
The process of determining risks forms part of the Group’s internal control environment. As a result, the
following initiatives have been undertaken by the management and the Board:
(a) Pursuant to the new Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (“MCCG”) issued by the Securities
Commission Malaysia on 26 April 2017, a compliance review of the new Malaysian Code on Corporate
Governance 3rd Edition was conducted by the Internal Auditors. The Board has evaluated the existing
risk management practices to ensure that they are appropriate and continues to remain relevant to the
Group’s requirement;
(b) A Risk Management Committee (“RMC”) comprising the Managing and Executive Directors and senior
management was established on 1 October 2003;
(c) Risk management meetings were held twice a year to update the risks and mitigating controls to produce a
detailed risk register. Key risks identified are scored for likelihood of the risks occurring and the magnitude
of its impact;
(e) Audit Committee reviews the findings of the RMC and risk register of the Group.
The Board has in place a process of identifying, evaluating and managing significant risks encountered by the
Group in its achievement of objectives and strategies for the year under review and up to the date of approval
of this Statement.

OKA CORPORATION BHD
Apart from risk management and internal audit, the Board has put in place an organisational structure with
the appropriate lines of responsibility, delegation of authority and accountability. The procedures include the
establishment of limits of authority coupled with the publication of Safety & Health Manual and Quality Manual
which highlights policies on safety and health as well as quality.
Monthly consolidated management accounts and financial analysis are prepared to allow top management to
focus on areas of concern. All access to the assets and records of the Group are safeguarded and controlled
to reduce the risk of unauthorised use.
The Group’s individual operating units are managed by managers who are responsible for the conduct and
performance of their businesses in accordance with the organisation’s goals. The Group’s performance is
monitored by the Group Managing Director, Executive Directors and senior management team. Senior
management meetings were conducted for three (3) times this financial year to share information, monitor
the progress of various operating units and to make decision pertaining to certain operational matters. The
Group Managing Director also reports to the Board on significant changes in the business and the external
environment. In addition, the Board and Audit Committee also review the quarterly results to monitor the
Group’s progress towards achieving its objectives. The Chief Financial Officer provides the Board with quarterly
financial information. Where areas of improvement in the system of risk management and internal control are
identified, the Board considers the recommendations made by the Audit Committee and the Management.
In line with the Corporate Liability Provision under the New Section 17A MACC (Amendment) Act 2018, the
Board has adopted the Anti-bribery & Corruption Policy and Framework developed by the RMC on 24 February
2020. The Group is committed to conduct business dealings with highest level of integrity and ethics and to
comply fully with applicable laws and regulatory requirements on anti-corruption.
The Anti-bribery & Corruption Policy and Framework are guided by five (5) principles i.e Top level commitment,
Risk assessment, Undertake control measures, Systematic review, Monitoring & enforcement and Training &
communication.
There were no material losses incurred during the financial year under review as a result of weaknesses in
internal control. Management continues to take measures to strengthen the control environment which includes
credit control management, debts recovery and inventory management.
8. Review Of Effectiveness
The Board has received assurance from the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer that the Group’s
risk management and internal control system is operating adequately and effectively, in all material aspects,
during the financial year under review and up to the date of this Statement. On-going reviews are carried out
by the Board to ensure the effectiveness and adequacy of the Group’s risk management and internal control
system in safeguarding the shareholders’ investments, customers’ interest and Group’s assets. The Board
remains committed and will continue to take measures to strengthen the internal control and risk management
environment towards enhancing the system of internal control to support all types of businesses and operations
within the OKA Corporation Bhd group of companies.
This statement is made in accordance with the resolution of the Board dated 17 August 2020.

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic that spreads throughout the world at the beginning of the year and the movement
restriction imposed to curb the pandemic caused massive disruptions to global supply chains and economic activities.
Construction activities have also been severely affected, resulting in a decrease in demand for concrete products. The pace of
recovery remains uncertain given current unfavourable market conditions.
The Malaysian government ordered all the non-essential sectors to close their business operations including those involved in
the manufacture of concrete products to shut down their production during the period of the Movement Control Order (MCO)
from 18 March 2020. The MCO also led to a temporary halt to construction activities including major infrastructure works such
as Mass Rapid Transit 2 (MRT 2), Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT 3), East Coast Rail Line (ECRL) and etc.
Following the government’s announcements to ease the MCO and revive economic activities, selected economic sectors,
including construction and building materials sectors have gradually resumed operations in strict compliance with prevention
measures and guidelines since mid-April 2020. Nonetheless, the prospect of the concrete industry remains positive despite the
significant impacts that the pandemic could have on the economy.
Financial Review
Given a highly volatile and challenging market backdrop, the Group registered a lower turnover of RM119.05 million, an 8%
drop from RM129.18 million last year. This significant drop was mainly due to the lower sales volume resulting from the reduced
demand by local market coupled with the temporary business closure during the MCO period starting on 18 March 2020.
The cost of sales decreased by 8%. Distribution expenses reduced from RM12.50 million to RM11.68 million, a decrease of
RM0.82 million. Administrative expenses decreased from RM11.65 million to RM10.64 million, a decrease of RM1.01 million.
The Group’s profit before tax for the financial year ended 31 March 2020 slightly increased by 3% from RM14.05 million to
RM14.49 million. Correspondingly, the Group’s basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”) was 4.60 sen as compared to 4.45 sen in the
previous financial year.
The Group is still consistently paying dividends. OKA has declared a total single-tier dividend of 4.00 sen per share during the
year. A single-tier interim dividend of 2.00 sen per share has been declared and paid on 30 April 2020. In addition, the Board
has proposed a final single-tier dividend of 2.00 sen per share to be paid in respect of the financial year ended 31 March 2020,
subject to shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Financial Position
As at 31 March 2020, the Group’s total assets slightly increased by 0.8% from RM200.16 million to RM201.70 million mainly
due to increase in cash and cash equivalents by RM2.52 million, attributed by net cash generated from operating activities of
RM13.15 million. Net cash used in investing activities of RM1.55 million involved primarily the acquisition of a small piece of
land at Nilai for a consideration of RM1.20 million meant for Senai’s factory expansion. Financing activities in 2020 recorded a
net cash outflow of RM9.08 million mainly due to dividends paid during the financial year.
Total liabilities slightly decreased by 0.7% to RM25.76 million as compared to 31 March 2019. This was mainly due to decrease
in contract liabilities by RM0.69 million.
As at 31 March 2020, the Group’s statement of financial position remains strong with no borrowings. The shareholders’ funds
increased by 0.9% to RM175.94 million after netting-off the dividend appropriated during the financial year of RM9.57 million.
The Group continues to place a strong emphasis on cost and operating efficiency, cash flow as well as balance sheet
management to proactively manage its receivables and inventory levels.
The unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19 has spurred lockdowns across the world. The pandemic, which brought massive
disruptions to the economic growth and supply chains, set the global economy on the path of recession in 2020. The International
Monetary Fund (IMF) expects the global economy to shrink by 3% in 2020, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, that will mark
the steepest downturn since the Great Depression of 1930s. Depending on the course of the pandemic, the prediction of a
partial rebound in the world economy in 2021 is uncertain. A longer pandemic that could continue into the third quarter of
the year could lead to a further 3% contraction in 2020 and a slower recovery in 2021 due to concerns on bankruptcies and
unemployment.
As the spread of the coronavirus has brought much of the world to a halt, nations have poured ever-more-massive amounts
of stimulus into their economies, while central banks have flooded markets with cheap money to ease financial strains. The
COVID-19 pandemic will have a significant impact on the global economy and disruption of supply chain which will potentially
result in market slowdown.
The pathway is challenging but OKA has never wavered and will continue their efforts and commitment to steer the Group out
of the headwinds targeting the path of growth and profitability and we foresee the rebound of global economy will happen once
the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic effects are over.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020
During the financial year, the total amount of insurance cost effected for Directors or officers of the Company is
RM10,000. However, there was no indemnity given to Directors or officers of the Company during the financial year.
There was no indemnity given to or insurance effected for auditors of the Company during the financial year.
Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable
steps to ascertain that:
(i) all known bad debts have been written off and adequate provision made for doubtful debts, and
(ii) any current assets which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business have been written
down to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.
At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:
(i) that would render the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the
Group and in the Company inadequate to any substantial extent, or
(ii) that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company misleading, or
(iii) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the
Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate, or
(iv) not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements that would render any amount stated in the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.
(i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year
and which secures the liabilities of any other person, or
(ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial
year.
No contingent liability or other liability of any company in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely to become
enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the
Directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and of the Company to meet their obligations as
and when they fall due.

MFRSs, interpretations and amendments effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date yet
to be confirmed
• Amendments to MFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and MFRS 128, Investments in
Associates and Joint Ventures - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate
or Joint Venture
The Group and the Company plan to apply the abovementioned accounting standards, interpretations and
amendments, where applicable, in the respective financial years when the abovementioned accounting
standards, interpretations and amendments become effective.
The initial application of the accounting standards, interpretations or amendments is not expected to have
any material financial impacts to the current period and prior period financial statements of the Group and
the Company.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis other than as disclosed in Note 2
to the financial statements.
These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the Company’s functional
currency. All financial information is presented in RM, unless otherwise stated.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with MFRSs requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting
policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements other than those
disclosed in Note 9 – Inventories and Note 10 – Receivables, deposits and prepayments.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial
statements and have been applied consistently by Group entities, unless otherwise stated.
Arising from the adoption of MFRS 16, Leases, there are changes to the accounting policies applied to lease
contracts entered into by the Group entities as compared to those applied in the previous financial statements.
The impacts arising from the changes are disclosed in Note 29 to the financial statement.
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities, including structured entities, controlled by the Company. The financial
statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that
control commences until the date that control ceases.
55
OKA CORPORATION BHD
The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Potential voting
rights are considered when assessing control only when such rights are substantive. The Group also
considers it has de facto power over an investee when, despite not having the majority of voting rights, it
has the current ability to direct the activities of the investee that significantly affect the investee’s return.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less
any impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of
investments includes transaction costs.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method from the acquisition date, which
is the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
For new acquisitions, the Group measures the cost of goodwill at the acquisition date as:
• the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus
• the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus
• if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in
the acquiree; less
• the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed.
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interests in
the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at
the acquisition date.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the
Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the former
subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the former
subsidiary from the consolidated statement of financial position. Any surplus or deficit arising on the
loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the former subsidiary,
then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted
for as an equity-accounted investee or as a financial asset depending on the level of influence retained.
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-
group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
56
ANNUAL REPORT 2020
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the statements of financial position when, and
only when, the Group or the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without significant financing component) or a financial
liability is initially measured at fair value plus or minus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss,
transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issuance. A trade receivable without
a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
An embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract where the host contract is not
a financial asset, and accounted for separately if, and only if, the derivative is not closely related to
the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the host contract is not measured at
fair value through profit or loss. The host contract, in the event an embedded derivative is recognised
separately, is accounted for in accordance with policy applicable to the nature of the host contract.
Financial assets
Categories of financial assets are determined on initial recognition and are not reclassified subsequent
to their initial recognition unless the Group or the Company changes its business model for managing
financial assets in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first
reporting period following the change of the business model.
Amortised cost category comprises financial assets that are held within a business model whose
objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise on
specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding. The financial assets are not designated as fair value through profit or loss.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income,
foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or
loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Interest income is recognised by applying effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount
except for credit impaired financial assets (see Note 2.9(i)) where the effective interest rate is
applied to the amortised cost.
This category comprises investment in equity that is not held for trading, and the Group and
the Company irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value
in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents
a recovery of part of the cost of investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised
in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other
comprehensive income are not reclassified to profit or loss.
All financial assets, except for equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income, are subject to impairment assessment (see Note 2.9(i)).
57
OKA CORPORATION BHD
Financial liabilities
Amortised cost
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss. Any gains
or losses on derecognition are also recognised in the profit or loss.
A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using
trade date or settlement date accounting in the current year.
(a) the recognition of an asset to be received and the liability to pay for it on the trade date, and
(b) derecognition of an asset that is sold, recognition of any gain or loss on disposal and the recognition
of a receivable from the buyer for payment on the trade date.
(a) the recognition of an asset on the day it is received by the Group or the Company, and
(b) derecognition of an asset and recognition of any gain or loss on disposal on the day that is
delivered by the Group or the Company.
Any change in the fair value of the asset to be received during the period between the trade date and
the settlement date is accounted in the same way as it accounts for the acquired asset.
Generally, the Group or the Company applies settlement date accounting unless otherwise stated for
the specific class of asset.
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in
accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantees issued are initially measured at fair value. Subsequently, they are measured at
higher of :
Liabilities arising from financial guarantees are presented together with other provisions.
58
ANNUAL REPORT 2020
(v) Derecognition
A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash
flows from the financial asset expire or transferred, or control of the asset is not retained or substantially
all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred to another party. On
derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and
the sum of consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) is
recognised in profit or loss.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the
contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. A financial liability is also derecognised when its terms
are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case, a new
financial liability based on modified terms is recognised at fair value. On derecognition of a financial
liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred
to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities
assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
(vi) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of
financial position when, and only when, the Group or the Company currently has a legally enforceable
right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and
liability simultaneously.
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and
any accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other
costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs
of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. The cost of self-
constructed assets also includes the cost of materials and direct labour.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of
that equipment.
When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are
accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and is recognised
net within “other operating income” or “other operating expenses” respectively in profit or loss.
The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the
carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the
component will flow to the Group or the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying
amount of the replaced component is derecognised to profit or loss. The costs of the day-to-day
servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
59
OKA CORPORATION BHD
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual
assets are assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that
asset, then that component is depreciated separately.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
each component of an item of property, plant and equipment from the date that they are available for
use.
Freehold land is not depreciated. Capital work-in-progress is not depreciated until the assets are ready
for their intended use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of the reporting period,
and adjusted as appropriate.
2.4 Leases
The Group has applied MFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative
effect of initial application is recognised as an adjustment to retained earnings at 1 April 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.
60
ANNUAL REPORT 2020
(a) 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 uses their incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
• fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments less any incentives receivable;
• variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index
or rate as at the commencement date;
• amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
• 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 or 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.
(b) 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.
61
OKA CORPORATION BHD
(a) 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 assets 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 remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is
remeasured 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 remeasured, 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.
(b) As a lessor
The Group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-
line basis over the lease term as part of “other operating income”.
As a lessee
Leases in terms of which the Group or the Company assumed substantially all the risks and rewards
of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset was measured
at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset was accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy
applicable to that asset.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases were apportioned between the finance expense
and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense was allocated to each period during
the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the
liability. Contingent lease payments were accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over
the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment was confirmed.
Leasehold land which in substance was a finance lease was classified as property, plant and equipment,
or as investment property if held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both.
62
ANNUAL REPORT 2020
As a lessee (cont’d)
Leases, where the Group or the Company did not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership were classified as operating leases and, the leased assets were not recognised on the
statement of financial position.
Payments made under operating leases were recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over
the term of the lease. Lease incentives received were recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of
the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. Contingent rentals were charged to profit or loss in
the reporting period in which they were incurred.
Leasehold land which in substance was an operating lease was classified as prepaid lease payments.
Investment properties are properties which are owned or right-of-use asset held under a lease contract to
earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business,
use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. These include freehold
land and leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease held for a currently undetermined future use.
Properties that are occupied by the companies in the Group are accounted for as owner-occupied rather than
as investment properties. Investment properties initially and subsequently measured at cost are accounted
for similar to property, plant and equipment.
Investment properties are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses, consistent with the accounting policy for property, plant and equipment as stated in accounting policy
Note 2.3.
Cost includes expenditure that is attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The cost of self-
constructed investment property includes the costs of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly
attributable to bringing the investment property to a working condition for their intended use and capitalised
borrowing costs. Right-of-use asset held under a lease contract that meets the definition of investment
property is initially measured similar as other right-of-use assets.
Transfers between investment property, property, plant and equipment and inventories do not change the
carrying amount and the cost of the property transferred.
Depreciation is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 50 years for
buildings. Leasehold land is depreciated over the lease term and freehold land is not depreciated.
An investment property is derecognised on its disposal, or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no
future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the item is derecognised.
63
OKA CORPORATION BHD
2.6 Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method, and includes expenditure incurred
in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to
their existing location and condition. In the case of finished goods, cost includes an appropriate share of
production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
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.
A contract liability is stated at cost and represents the obligation of the Group or the Company to transfer
goods or services to a customer for which consideration has been received from the customers.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid
investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in fair value with original maturities of three months
or less, and are used by the Group and the Company in the management of their short term commitments.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank
overdrafts and pledged deposits, if any.
2.9 Impairment
The Group and the Company recognise loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets
measured at amortised cost. Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses.
The Group and the Company measure loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit
loss, except for cash and bank balance and other debt securities for which credit risk has not increased
significantly since initial recognition, which are measured at 12-month expected credit loss. Loss
allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit
loss.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial
recognition and when estimating expected credit loss, the Group and the Company consider reasonable
and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes
both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience
and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information, where available.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default
events over the expected life of the asset, while 12-month expected credit losses are the portion of
expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after
the reporting date. The maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the
maximum contractual period over which the Group and the Company are exposed to credit risk.
The Group and the Company estimate the expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision
matrix with reference to historical credit loss experience.
An impairment loss in respect of financial assets measured at amortised cost is recognised in profit or
loss and the carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
64
ANNUAL REPORT 2020
At each reporting date, the Group and the Company assess whether financial assets carried at
amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more events that
have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or full) to the extent that
there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group or the Company
determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient
cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off
could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s or the Company’s
procedures for recovery of amounts due.
The carrying amounts of other assets (except for inventories and deferred tax asset) are reviewed at
the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such
indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets
that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of
other assets or cash-generating units.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair
value less costs of disposal. 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 or cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit
exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-
generating units are allocated to reduce the carrying amounts of the assets in the cash-generating unit
(groups of cash-generating units) on a pro rata basis.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any
indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has
been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment
loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or
amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited
to profit or loss in the financial year in which the reversals are recognised.
Instruments classified as equity are measured at cost on initial recognition and are not remeasured
subsequently.
Costs directly attributable to the issue of instruments classified as equity are recognised as a deduction
from equity.

OKA CORPORATION BHD
Short-term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries and wages, annual bonuses, paid annual leave
and sick leave are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus if the Group
has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by
the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
The Group’s contributions to statutory pension funds are charged to profit or loss in the financial year
to which they relate. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund
or a reduction in future payments is available.
The grant date fair value of share-based payment granted to employees is recognised as an employee
expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally
become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number
of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such
that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the
related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-
based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between
expected and actual outcomes.
The fair value of employee share options is measured using a trinomial model. Measurement inputs
include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on
weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information),
weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option
holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds).
Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account
in determining fair value.
When the options are exercised, the share option reserve is transferred to share capital if new shares are
issued.
The share option reserve is transferred to retained profits upon forfeiture or expiry of the share options.
2.12 Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at
a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.
(i) Revenue
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer in exchange
for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The Group or the Company recognises revenue when (or as) it transfers control over a product or
service to customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of the asset.
The Group or the Company transfers control of a good or service at a point in time unless one of the
following over time criteria is met:
(a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided as the Group or the
Company performs;
(b) the Group’s or the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer
controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or
(c) the Group’s or the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and
the Group or the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s or the Company’s right to
receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date.
Management fee is recognised in profit or loss for services rendered, including professional and
management advice, marketing, management information system and accounting services and
administrative matters to the subsidiaries.
Rental income from investment property is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the
term of the lease.
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method in profit or loss except
for interest income arising from temporary investment of borrowings taken specifically for the purpose
of obtaining a qualifying asset which is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy on
borrowing costs.
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit
or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or
other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax
rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable
in respect of previous financial years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not
recognised for the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination
and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that
are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
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.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or
on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax
assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be
realised.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Group entities at exchange
rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are
retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of the
reporting date, except for those that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at
the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its ordinary shares.
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 the effects of all dilutive potential
ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted to employees.
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 transactions with any
of the Group’s other components. Operating segment 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.
68
ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be
estimated reliably, the obligation is not recognised in the statements of financial position and is disclosed as
a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations,
whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events,
are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
Fair value of an asset or a liability, except for share-based payment and lease transactions, is determined
as 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 measurement assumes that the transaction to
sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal
market, in the most advantageous market.
For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement 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.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as
possible. Fair value is categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the input used in the
valuation technique as follows :
Level 1 : quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can
access at the measurement date.
Level 2 : inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 : unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date of the event or
change in circumstances that caused the transfers.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020
The Group and the Company have exposures to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:
• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk
• Market risk
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument
fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from its
receivables from customers. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from its advances to
subsidiaries and financial guarantees given to certain vendors for the supply of goods and services provided
to a subsidiary.
Trade receivables
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an on-going basis.
Normally financial guarantees of shareholders or directors of customers are obtained and credit evaluations
are performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount. The Group and the Company do not
require collateral in respect of financial assets.
At each reporting date, the Group or the Company assesses whether any of the trade receivables are credit
impaired.
The gross carrying amounts of credit impaired trade receivables are written off (either partially or full)
when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group or the Company
determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash
flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. Nevertheless, trade receivables that are written off could
still be subject to enforcement activities.
As at the end of the reporting period, there was no significant concentration of credit risk. The maximum
exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables is represented by the carrying amounts in the statement
of financial position.
Management has taken reasonable steps to ensure that receivables that are neither past due nor impaired
are stated at their realisable values. A significant portion of these receivables are regular customers that
have been transacting with the Group.
The Group receives financial guarantees given by shareholders or directors of customers in managing
exposure to credit risks. Trade receivables amounting to RM30,721,414 (2019 : RM38,044,079) are secured
by financial guarantees given by shareholders or directors of the receivables.
87
OKA CORPORATION BHD
In managing credit risk of trade receivables, the Group manages its debtors and takes appropriate actions
(including but not limited to legal actions) to recover long overdue balances. Generally, trade receivables will
pay within 150 days. The Group’s debt recovery process is as follows:
a) Above 90 days past due after credit term, the Group will start to initiate a structured debt recovery
process which is monitored by the sales management team; and
b) Above 120 days past due, the Group will commence a legal proceeding against the customer.
The Group uses an allowance matrix to measure ECLs of trade receivables for all segments. Consistent with
the debt recovery process, invoices which are past due 90 days will be considered as credit impaired.
Loss rates are calculated using a ‘roll rate’ method based on the probability of a receivable progressing
through successive stages of delinquency to 90 days past due.
Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience over the past three years. The Group also considers
differences between (a) economic conditions during the period over which the historic data has been
collected, (b) current conditions and (c) the Group’s view of economic conditions over the expected lives
of the receivables. Nevertheless, the Group believes that these factors are immaterial for the purpose of
impairment calculation for the year.
The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and ECLs for trade receivables.

The allowance account in respect of receivables is used to record impairment losses. Unless the Group is
satisfied that recovery of the amount is possible, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against
the receivable directly.

OKA CORPORATION BHD
The cash and cash equivalents are held with banks and financial institutions. As at the end of the reporting
period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying amounts in the statements of
financial position.
These banks and financial institutions have low credit risks. In addition, some of the bank balances are
insured by government agencies. Consequently, the Group and the Company are of the view that the loss
allowance is not material and hence, it is not provided for.
Other receivables
Credit risks on other receivables are mainly arising from deposits paid for hostel rented and utilities. These
deposits will be received at the end of each lease terms. The Group manages the credit risk together with the
leasing arrangement.
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying
amounts in the statements of financial position.
As at the end of the reporting period, the Group and the Company did not recognise any allowance for
impairment losses.
Inter-company advances
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Company provides unsecured loans and advances to subsidiaries. The Company monitors the ability of
the subsidiaries to repay the loans and advances on an individual basis.
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying
amounts in the statements of financial position.
Loans and advances provided are not secured by any collateral or supported by any other credit enhancements.
Generally, the Company considers loans and advances to subsidiaries to be with low credit risk. The Company
assumes that there is a significant increase in credit risk when a subsidiary’s financial position deteriorates
significantly. As the Company is able to determine the timing of payments of the subsidiaries’ loans and
advances when they are payable, the Company considers the loans and advances to be in default when the
subsidiaries are not able to pay when demanded. The Company considers a subsidiary’s loan or advance to
be credit impaired when :
• The subsidiary is unlikely to repay its loan or advance to the Company in full; or
• The subsidiary is continuously loss making and is having a deficit shareholders’ fund.
The Company determines the probability of default for these loans and advances individually using internal
information available.

Financial guarantees
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Company provides guarantees to certain vendors for the supply of goods and services to a subsidiary.
The Company monitors on an on-going basis the results of the subsidiary and repayments made by the
subsidiary.
The maximum exposure to credit risk amounts to RM4.5 million (2019: RM2.0 million) representing outstanding
balance for the supply of goods and services of the subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period.
The financial guarantees have not been recognised since the fair value on initial recognition was not material.
The Company assumes that there is a significant increase in credit risk when a subsidiary’s financial position
deteriorates significantly. The Company considers a financial guarantee to be credit impaired when :
• The subsidiary is unlikely to repay its credit obligation to the vendors in full; or
• The subsidiary is continuously loss making and is having a deficit shareholders’ fund.
The Company determines the probability of default of the guaranteed loans individually using internal
information available.
As at the end of the reporting period, the Company did not recognise any allowance for impairment losses.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises principally from its various payables.
The Group maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents and bank facilities deemed adequate by the
management to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they
fall due.
It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at
significantly different amounts.

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will
affect the Group’s financial position or cash flows.
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales that are denominated in a currency other
than Ringgit Malaysia. The currency giving rise to this risk is primarily Singapore Dollar (“SGD”).
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency (a currency other than Ringgit Malaysia) risk, based on
carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period are as follows :

Foreign currency risk arises from the Group’s monetary financial assets primarily denominated in
SGD. There is no other material exposure to foreign currency risk, and hence, sensitivity analysis
will only be presented for the abovementioned exposures.
A 10% strengthening of SGD against RM at the end of the reporting period would have increased
post-tax profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables
remain constant and ignores any impact of forecasted sales and purchases.

A 10% weakening of SGD against RM at the end of the reporting period would have had equal but

Short-term receivables and payables are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Group manages its interest rate risk by placing such balances with reputable banks, on
varying maturities and interest rate terms.

The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would not
affect profit or loss.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term receivables, inter-company balances and
payables approximate their fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these financial instruments.

During the financial year, the Group and the Company adopted MFRS 16.
Definition of a lease
On transition to MFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of
which transactions are leases. It applied MFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases.
Contracts that were not identified as leases under MFRS 117 and IC Interpretation 4, Determining whether an
Arrangement contains a Lease were not reassessed. Therefore, the definition of a lease under MFRS 16 has been
applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 April 2019.
As a lessee
Where the Group and the Company are a lessee, the Group and the Company applied the requirements of MFRS
16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initial application as an adjustment to the opening balance of
retained earnings at 1 April 2019.
At 1 April 2019, for leases that were classified as operating lease under MFRS 117, lease liabilities were measured
at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group entities’ incremental borrowing
rate as at 1 April 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the
amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.
The Group used the following practical expedients when applying MFRS 16 to leases previously classified as
operating lease under MFRS 117 :
- applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months
of lease term as at 1 April 2019;
- excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application; and
- used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the
lease.
For leases that were classified as finance lease under MFRS 117, the carrying amounts of the right-of-use asset
and the lease liability at 1 April 2019 are determined to be the same as the carrying amount of the leased asset
and lease liability under MFRS 117 immediately before that date.
As a lessor
Group entities who are intermediate lessor reassessed the classification of a sublease previously classified as an
operating lease under MFRS 117 and concluded that the sublease is an operating lease under MFRS 16.
The adoption of MFRS 16 did not have any material impact to the financial statements of the Company.

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of OKA Corporation Bhd, which comprise the statements of financial position
as at 31 March 2020 of the Group and of the Company, and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year
then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as set out
on pages 45 to 99.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group
and of the Company as at 31 March 2020, and of their financial performance and their 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 2016 in Malaysia.
We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards
on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for
the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our auditors’ report. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the Group and of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics,
Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-Laws”) and the International Ethics Standards
Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International
Independence Standards) (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current year. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
1. Valuation of inventories
Refer to Note 1.4 Use of estimates and judgements and Note 9 Inventories to the financial statements.
The Group’s inventories of RM41 million as at 31 March 2020 in the consolidated statement of financial position
represents about 20% of the Group’s total assets.
The Group made the write-down of finished goods, if necessary, based on the analysis of the aging of finished
goods as well as the analysis of the potential obsolescence due to low demand by customers following the
completion of projects and for inventories with odd sizes or in loose quantities. The recognition of inventory
write-down involves estimates and judgements by the Directors and there is a risk that the actual write-down
required may be different to those estimated. This is a key audit matter because evaluating the estimates made
by the Directors requires us to exercise significant judgement.
102
ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Refer to Note 1.4 Use of estimates and judgements and Note 10 Receivables, deposits and prepayments to the
financial statements.
The Group’s trade receivables of RM26 million as at 31 March 2020 represents about 13% of the Group’s total
assets.
The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on trade receivables, if necessary, based on
probability-weighted estimate of credit losses, taking into consideration historical past due aging for the past
three years. The recognition of expected credit losses on trade receivables involves estimates and judgements
by the Directors and there is a risk that the actual impairment loss required may be different to those estimated.
This is a key audit matter because evaluating the estimates made by the Directors requires us to exercise
significant judgement.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters in the audit of the separate financial statements of the
Company to communicate in our auditors’ report.

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information 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 annual report 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 annual report and, in doing so, consider whether the annual report 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
the annual report, 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 ability of the Group and of the Company 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
internal control of the Group and of the Company.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the ability of the Group or of the Company 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 gives a true and fair view.
• 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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
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 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 auditors’ report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh
the public interest benefits of such communication.
