Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Amway (Malaysia) Holdings Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial
position as at 31 December 2022 of the Group and of the Company, and statements of 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 131 to 177 .

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 December 2022, 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.

Basis for opinion

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 report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our audit opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial

provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section
of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to

including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis of our audit opinion on the accompanying
financial statements.

Information other than the financial statements and auditors’ report thereon

The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Directors’ Report,
but does not include the financial statements of the Group and of the Company and our auditors’ report thereon, which we
obtained prior to the date of this auditors’ report, and the annual report, which is expected to be made available to us after the
date of this auditors’ report.

Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover the other information and we do not
and will 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 on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditors’ report, 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.

When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate
the matter to the directors of the Company and take appropriate action.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


TO THE MEMBERS OF AMWAY (MALAYSIA) HOLDINGS BERHAD
(INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA)

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements

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.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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;

• 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; and

• 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


TO THE MEMBERS OF AMWAY (MALAYSIA) HOLDINGS BERHAD

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (contd.)

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 report because the adverse consequences
of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

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.

2.4 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at
the reporting date. The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied for
like transactions and events in similar circumstances. The Company controls an investee if and only if the Company
has all the following:

(i) Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the
investee);

(ii) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its investment with the investee; and

(iii) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, the Company considers the following
in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power over the
investee:

(i) The size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other
vote holders;

(ii) Potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;

(iii) Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

(iv) Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current
ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at
previous shareholders’ meetings.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (contd.)


2.4 Basis of consolidation (contd.)

Subsidiaries are consolidated when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company
loses control of the subsidiary. All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses
resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as
unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interests even if that results in a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the
subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-
controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. The resulting
difference is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate
of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying
amount of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interest, is recognised in profit or
loss. The subsidiary’s cumulative gain or loss which has been recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss or where applicable, transferred directly to retained earnings.
The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date control is lost is regarded as the cost
on initial recognition of the investment.

(a) Business combinations

Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is
measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the
amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. The Group elects on a transaction-by-transaction basis
whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate
share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition related costs incurred are expensed and included
in administrative expenses.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate
classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent
conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts
by the acquiree.

Contingent consideration, resulted from business combinations, is valued at fair value at the acquisition date.
Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for
within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within
the scope of MFRS 9 Financial Instruments, is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised
in profit or loss in accordance with MFRS 9. Other contingent consideration that is not within the scope of
MFRS 9 is measured at fair value at each reporting date with change in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held
equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and
the amount recognised for non-controlling interests over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. If this consideration is lower than fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference
is recognised in profit or loss. The accounting policy for goodwill is set out in Note 2.5(a).

2.4 Basis of consolidation (contd.)

(b) Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has all the following:

(i) Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities
of the investee);

(ii) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its investment with the investee; and

(iii) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less
impairment losses. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with
Note 2.14. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying
amounts is included in profit or loss.

2.5 Intangible assets

(a) Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and
the amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred,
the gain is recognised in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose
of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to
each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of
whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is
disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the
operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in this circumstance is measured
based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

(b) Other intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured initially at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in
a business combination is their fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial acquisition, intangible
assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised over the estimated useful lives and assessed for
impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period
and the amortisation method are reviewed at each reporting date. Changes in the expected useful life or
the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for
by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting
estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually,
or more frequently if the events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired either
individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Such intangible assets are not amortised. The useful life of
an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is reviewed annually to determine whether the useful life
assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a
prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss when the asset
is derecognised.

2.5 Intangible assets (contd.)

(b) Other intangible assets (contd.)

(i) Computer software

Computer software that does not form an integral part of the related hardware is classified as intangible
assets. Software considered to have finite useful lives, are stated at cost less any impairment losses
and are amortised using the straight-line basis over the commercial lives of the underlying products of
3 years. Impairment is assessed whenever there is an indication of impairment and amortisation period
and the amortisation method are also reviewed at each reporting date.

(ii) Research and development - Internally developed software

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures on an individual project are
recognised as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate:

- the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use
or sale;
- its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset;
- how the asset will generate future economic benefits;
- the availability of resources to complete the asset; and
- the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.

Other development expenditures which do not meet the above criteria are recognised as an expense
as incurred. Developments costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset
in subsequent period.

Capitalised development cost recognised as intangible assets are amortised from the point at which the
asset is ready for use on a straight-line basis over its useful life.

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less
any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins
when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of
expected future benefit. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.

The estimated useful life of capitalised development costs is as follows:

Capitalised development costs 3 years

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (contd.)


2.6 Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of plant and equipment
is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow
to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be
replaced in intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation,
respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the
plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs
are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Long term leasehold land Ranging approximately 64 to 65 years


Buildings 2.50%
Building improvements 6.67%
Leasehold fixtures and improvements 33.33%
Furniture, fittings & equipment 10% - 20%
Motor vehicle 33.33%

Capital work in progress mainly comprises renovation which have not been completed. Capital work in progress is
not depreciated as these assets are not yet available for use.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in the profit or loss in
the year the asset is derecognised.

The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each reporting date, and adjusted
prospectively, if appropriate.

2.7 Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost is determined using the first in, first out method. The cost comprises purchase price of inventories plus the cost
of bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

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.

2.8 Leases

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys
the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

(a) Group as a lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases
and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use
assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

(i) Right-of-use assets

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the
underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost
of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and
lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-
use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated
useful lives of the assets, as follows:

Premises 2 to 9 years
Other equipment 2 to 6 years

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the
exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The
right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. The accounting policy of impairment of non-financial
assets is disclosed in Note 2.14.

(ii) Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present
value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments
(including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments
that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.
The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be
exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the
Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a
rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which
the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the
lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of
interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is
remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g.,
changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease
payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

2.8 Leases (contd.)

(a) Group as a lessee (contd.)

(ii) Lease liabilities (contd.)

Reassessment of lease liabilities

For any potential future increases in variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, these are
not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on
an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is remeasured and adjusted against the right-of-use assets.

The Group applied practical expedient to account for a COVID-19 related rent concession that meets all
of the following conditions in the same way as they would if they were not lease modification:

(i) the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the
same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

(ii) any reduction in lease payments affects only payments due on or before 30 June 2022; and

(iii) there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.

The Group accounts for COVID-19 related rent concession as a variable lease payment in the period in
which the event or condition that triggers the reduced payment occurs. Impacts of rent concessions are
presented within operating expenses.

(iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of premises and
other equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement
date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition
exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-
term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.

(b) Group as a lessor

Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of
an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over
the lease terms. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the
carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

2.9 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable
estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a
current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as finance cost.

(a) Provision for restoration cost

The Group records a provision for restoration costs of renovation performed on rented premises. Restoration
costs are provided for at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash
flows. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the restoration
liability. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognised in profit or loss as a finance
cost. The estimated future costs of restoration are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate.

(b) Provision for warranty

The Group provides warranties for general repairs of products sold to ABOs that are not functioning as
intended. Provisions related to these assurance-type warranties are recognised when the product is sold.
The amount of provision of warranty claims will be charged to profit or loss and any unutilised portion of the
warranty provision will subsequently be reversed when the warranty period is over. Sales of products which
are not under “Amway” trademark are exempted from any warranty provision as the warranties are provided
by the manufacturers.

2.10 Income taxes

(a) Current income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax
authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively
enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.

Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised
outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

(b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except:

- where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in
a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

- in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, where the timing
of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary
differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

2.10 Income taxes (contd.)

(b) Deferred tax (contd.)

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which
the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can
be utilised except:

- where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of
the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

- in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax
assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in
the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can
be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it
is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset
to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to
the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred
tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income
or directly in equity and deferred tax arising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on
acquisition.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same
tax authority.

2.11 Sales and services tax (“SST”)

SST incurred in purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, hence SST is recognised
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or part of the expense item as applicable.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of SST. The payable amount of SST to the taxation authority is
included as part of payables in the statement of financial position.

2.12 Revenue from contracts with customers and other income

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services is transferred to the
customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for
those goods or services. The Group has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements,
because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customers.

(a) Sale of consumable products

Revenue from sales of goods is recognised net of discounts and personal effort related incentives on volume
purchase at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on the delivery
of the goods. Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding
recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods.

(i) Variable consideration

The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable
that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when
the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The contracts with
customers provide a right of return. The Group also provides personal effort related incentives to ABOs
based on volume purchase. These give rise to variable consideration.

• Rights of return

The contract for sales of product provides customer with a right to return the products within a
specified period. The Group uses the most likely amount method to estimate the goods that will be
returned because this method better predicts the amount of variable consideration to which the
Group will be entitled. For goods that are expected to be returned, the Group recognises a refund
liability. As the Group does not anticipate the returned goods are in saleable condition and will
bring any value to the Group, no value is estimated for the right of return asset.

• Incentives to ABOs

The incentives paid or payable to the ABOs are broadly categorised into two types, i.e. group
effort related incentives and personal effort related incentives on volume purchase. The Group
had considered the personal effort related incentives on volume purchase to be a reduction of
transaction price, whilst group effort related incentives is a consideration paid to or payable to
ABOs for the provision of distinct services.

(ii) Significant financing component

Cash sales

For cash sales, payment of the transaction price is due immediately when the goods are delivered to the
customer. Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of
rebates and discounts.

Credit sales

The Group is using the practical expedient in MFRS 15 for not adjusting any financing component for the
sales on credit term of less than 12 months.

(a) Sale of consumable products (contd.)

(iii) Option to acquire future goods at discounted price

The sales and marketing plan of the Group includes offering coupons to the customers for their future
acquisition of goods at discounted price. As the option provides a material right to the customers that
they would not receive without entering into the contract, it is considered a separate performance
obligation. As such, the Group only recognises the allocated revenue when those future goods are
transferred or the option expires.

The Group also has an Amway Privileged Customers (“APCs”) loyalty points programme, which allows
APCs to accumulate points that can be redeemed for future goods at a discounted price. The loyalty
points give rise to a separate performance obligation as they provide a material right to the customer.

A portion of the transaction price is allocated to the loyalty points awarded to customers based on
relative stand-alone price and recognised as a contract liability until the points are redeemed. Revenue
is recognised upon redemption of products by the customer.

(b) Revenue from sign up and renewals

Revenue from component of registration fees and sales kits from the sign up package is recognised upon the
transfer of control of goods and services, whilst the annual fees component is recognised over the period of
subscription. The renewal fees is recognised over the period of subscription.

(c) Warranty obligations

The Group provides warranties for general repairs of products sold to customers that are not functioning as
intended. Provisions related to these assurance-type warranties are recognised when the product is sold. The
accounting policy for provision for warranty is set out in Note 2.9(b).

The Group also provides an extended warranty beyond fixing defects that existed at the time of sale. These
service-type warranties are bundled together with the sale of goods. Contracts for bundled sales of goods
and service-type warranty comprise two performance obligations because the promise to transfer the goods
and to provide service-type warranty are capable of being distinct within the context of the contract. Using
the relative stand-alone selling price method, a portion of the transaction price is allocated to the service-type
warranty and recognised as a contract liability. Revenue for service-type warranties is recognised over the
period in which the service is provided based on the time elapsed.

(d) Interest income

Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

(e) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the Group or the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

2.13 Foreign currencies

(a) Functional and presentation currencies

The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The Group’s consolidated
financial statements are presented in RM, which is also the Company’s functional currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group entities at their respective functional
currency spot rate at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot
rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.

Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss with the
exception of monetary items that are designated as part of the hedge of the Group’s net investment of a
foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive income until the net investment is disposed
of, at which time, the cumulative amount is classified to profit or loss. Tax charges and credits attributable to
exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured using the historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using
the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a
foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The
gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the
recognition of gain or loss on change in fair value in the item (i.e., the translation differences on items whose
fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss are also recognised in
other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

(c) Foreign operation

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operation are translated into RM at the rate of exchange
prevailing at the reporting date and their income statements are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised
in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive
income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.

The principal exchange rates used for every unit of foreign currency ruling at the reporting date are as follows:

2.14 Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s
recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (“CGU”) fair
value less costs to sell and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the
asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.
When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and
is written down to its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in profit or loss in expense categories consistent with the
function of the impaired asset, except for a property previously revalued when the revaluation was taken to other
comprehensive income. In this case, the impairment is also recognised in other comprehensive income up to the
amount of any previous revaluation.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an
indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists,
the Group estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed
only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last
impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its
recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no
impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the
asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Impairment test for goodwill is performed by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs)
to which the goodwill relates to. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an
impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

2.15 Employee benefits

(a) Short term benefits

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which
the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. Short term accumulating compensated
absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase
their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such
as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

(b) Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions
into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if
any of the fund do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee services in the
current and preceding financial years.

The Group participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the countries in which it
has operations. The Malaysian companies in the Group make contributions to the Employee Provident Fund
in Malaysia, a defined contribution pension scheme. The Group’s foreign subsidiary company also makes
contributions to their respective country’s statutory pension schemes. Contributions to defined contribution
pension schemes are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is performed.

2.16 Financial assets

(a) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value
through other comprehensive income (“OCI”), and fair value through profit or loss.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow
characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that
do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient,
the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair
value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing
component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price
determined under MFRS 15.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs
to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”)’ on the principal amount
outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.

The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in
order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting
contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

(b) Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

• Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

• Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)

• Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses
upon derecognition (equity instruments)

• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

(i) Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

This category is the only category which is relevant to the Group. The Group measures financial assets
at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

• The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in
order to collect contractual cash flows; and

• The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rates (“EIR”)
method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset
is derecognised, modified or impaired.

The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade and other receivables and cash and cash
equivalents.

2.16 Financial assets (contd.)

(c) Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets)
is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statements of financial position) when:

• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

• The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation
to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’
arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,
or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,
but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a passthrough
arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership.

When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor
transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its
continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset
and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has
retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower
of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could
be required to repay.

2.17 Financial liabilities

(a) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions
of the instruments. Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in
an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables,
net of directly attributable transaction costs.

(b) Subsequent measurement

Trade and other payables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rates
(“EIR”) method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well
as through the EIR amortisation process.

(c) Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms,
or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as
the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statements of financial
position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to
settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (contd.)


2.18 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, cash on hand and deposits at call with a maturity of three months
or less that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.

2.19 Contract assets and contract liabilities

A contract asset is the right of the Group to consideration in exchange for goods or services that it has transferred
to the customer when that right is conditional upon future performance but not through the passage of time. If
the Group has performed its obligation by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays
consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised and presented net of any amounts that
has been recognised as receivables. Contract asset is presented as the excess of cumulative revenue earned or
recognised in profit or loss over the billings to date to the customer. Contract assets are subject to impairment
assessment in accordance of MFRS 9: Financial Instruments.

A contract liability is the obligation of the Group to transfer goods or services to a customer for which it has received
consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the
Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or
the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs
its obligation under the contract.

2.20 Refund liability

A refund liability is the obligation to refund some or all of the consideration received (or receivable) from the
customer and is measured at the amount of the Group ultimately expects it will have a return to the customer. The
Group updates its estimates of refund liabilities (and the corresponding change in the transaction price) at the end
of each reporting period.

2.21 Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt instruments not held at fair value
through profit or loss and contract assets. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows
due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an
approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of
collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit
risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible
within the next 12-months (“a 12-month ECL”). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the
remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (“a lifetime ECL”).

For trade and other receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs.
Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime
ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss
experience. The Group considers forward-looking factors do not have significant impact to its credit risk given the
nature of its industry and the amount of ECLs is insensitive to changes to forecast economic conditions.

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are past due as at month end. However,
in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information
indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account
any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation
of recovering the contractual cash flows.

2.22 Fair Value Measurement

The Group measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives financial assets, if any, at fair value at each reporting
date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

(i) in the principal market for the asset or liability; or

(ii) in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to or by the Group and the Company.

The fair value of an asset or liability is measured using the assumptions that the market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participants that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data
are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:

(i) Level 1 - the fair value is measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;

(ii) Level 2 - the fair value is measured using 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);
and

(iii) Level 3 - the fair value is measured using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable
market data (unobservable inputs).

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines
whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of
the nature, characteristic and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

2.23 Share capital

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting
all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments.

Ordinary shares are recorded at the proceeds received, net of directly attributable incremental transaction costs.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which
they are declared.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (contd.)


2.24 Current and non-current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in statements of financial position based on current and non-current
classification.

An asset is classified as current when it is:

- expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;

- held primarily for the purpose of trading;

- expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or

- cash and cash equivalents unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least
12 months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when:

- it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;

- it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

- it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or

- there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities, respectively.

3. Significant accounting judgements and estimates


The preparation of financial statements 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 ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

(a) Critical judgements made in applying accounting policies

There is no critical judgement made by management in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies that
has a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

(b) Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within
the next financial year are discussed below.

Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which the differences will be able to crystallise. Significant management
judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely
timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. Details relating to deferred tax
are disclosed in Note 17.

Domestic income tax is calculated at the Malaysian statutory tax rate of 24% for the first RM100 million and 33% thereafter
(2021: 24%) of the estimated assessable profit for the year. The 33% is a one-off prosperity tax, gazetted by the Government
on 31 December 2021 via Finance Act 2021, which would be imposed on the Company for the year of assessment 2022.

Taxation for other jurisdiction is calculated at the rate prevailing in the respective jurisdiction. Company in Brunei is
taxed where for the first BND100,000 of the chargeable income, only 25% is taxable, the next BND150,000 only 50% is
taxable and 100% is taxable for any remaining balance. The income tax rate applicable to company in Brunei is 18.5%
(2021:18.5%).

15. Intangible assets (contd.)


(a) Goodwill

Goodwill arose from the acquisition of Amway (B) Sdn. Bhd. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is
allocated to the business operations of Amway (B) Sdn. Bhd., which represent a CGU on its own.

The Group performed a review on the recoverable amount of goodwill during the financial year. The Group considers
the Brunei ABOs’ momentum have a direct impact on its sales performance.

The recoverable amount is determined based on its value-in-use (“VIU”) calculation using cash flows projections
from financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period.

The VIU was determined by discounting the future cash flows expected to be generated from the continuing
operation of CGU and was based on the following key assumptions:

(i) Cash flows were projected based on actual operating results and the five-year financial budget which has
reflected the softer sales demands.

(ii) The CGU will continue its operation indefinitely with terminal growth rate of nil (2021: nil).

(iii) A pre-tax discount rates of 13% (2021: 13%) was applied to the pre-tax cash flows, was determined by the
Group, is in line with the CGU’s primary economic and financial environment in the country it operates. At the
reporting date, if discount rate had been 10% higher, with all other variables held constant, this would not
result in the recoverable amount of the CGU’s lower than its carrying amount.

The Group is of the opinion that any reasonably possible change in the above key assumptions would not materially
cause the recoverable amount of the CGU’s to be lower than its carrying amount.

of monthly instalment plans from 90 to 150 (2021: 90) days. The Group has no significant concentration of credit
risk that may arise from exposures to a single debtor or to groups of debtors.

The Group maintains its ageing within 30 days by monitoring the installments payments from Amway Business
Owners (“ABOs”) and any amounts which are due and not settled will be offset against the ABOs’ bonuses.

(a) Trade receivables

Receivables that are neither past due nor impaired

Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are creditworthy debtors with good payment records with
the Group. Based on past experience, the Board believes that no allowance for expected credit loss is necessary in
respect of those balances.

None of the Group’s trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired have been renegotiated during the
financial year.

Receivables that are impaired

The Group’s trade receivables that are impaired at the reporting date and the movement of the allowance accounts
used to record the allowance for expected credit losses are as follows:

29. Financial risk management objectives and policies


The Group and the Company are exposed to financial risks arising from their operations and the use of financial
instruments. The key financial risks include interest rate risk (both fair value and cash flow), foreign currency risk, liquidity
risk and credit risk.

The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies and procedures for the management of these risks, which are
executed by the Chief Financial Officer. The Audit Committee provides independent oversight to the effectiveness of the
risk management process.

It is, and has been throughout the year under review, the Group’s policy that no derivatives shall be undertaken except for
the use as hedging instruments where appropriate and it’s cost-efficient. The Group and the Company do not apply hedge
accounting.

(a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates.

At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the interest-bearing financial instruments is as follows:

Group Company
2022 2021 2022 2021
RM’000 RM’000 RM’000 RM’000

Fixed rate instruments


Deposits with licensed banks 60,440 119,139 2,000 2,000

(b) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Group is exposed to transactional currency risk primarily through sales to related companies, purchases and
payments on behalf that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency to which they relate. The
currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily United States Dollar (“USD”), Singapore Dollar (“SGD”) and Thailand
Baht (“THB”).

The net unhedged financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group that are not denominated in their functional
currencies are as follows:

Group

FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

29. Financial risk management objectives and policies (contd.)


(d) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counterparty default on its
obligations. The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables.
For other financial assets (including cash and bank balances), the Group and the Company minimise credit risk by
dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties.

The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade receivables. The Group trades only with recognised and
creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to
credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group’s
exposure to bad debts is not significant. Since the Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties,
there is no requirement for collateral.

The credit risk of the Group’s other financial assets, which comprises of cash and cash equivalents, arises from
default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets.

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 assets. The analysis of the quality of credit risk are
disclosed in Note 19 and the accounting policy on the impairment of financial asset (ECL) is disclosed in Note 2.21.

30. Fair values on financial instruments


The Group and the Company measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of
the inputs used in making the measurements:

Level 1 - the fair value is measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 - the fair value is measured using 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 - the fair value is measured using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs).

The Group and the Company do not have any financial instruments classified as Level 1 to Level 3 as at 31 December
2022 and 31 December 2021.

The following are classes of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying amounts are
reasonable approximation of fair value:

Note

Trade and other receivables 19


Amounts due from related companies 19
Amount due from penultimate holding company 19
Amounts due to related companies 24
Trade and other payables 24

The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair values due to their short-
term nature.

31. Capital management


The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a healthy cashflow in order to
support its business and maximise shareholders’ value.

The Group does not have any external borrowings as at reporting date. The Group manages its capital structure and
makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group
may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders and return capital to shareholders. No significant changes were made
in the objectives, policies or processes during the years ended 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021. The Group
is not subjected to any externally imposed capital requirements.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Explanatory Notes on Ordinary Business:

1. Agenda item 1

This agenda item is meant for discussion only as the provision of Section 340(1)(a) of the Companies Act 2016 does
not require a formal approval of shareholders for the Audited Financial Statements. Hence, this item on the Agenda is
not put forward for voting.

2. Ordinary Resolutions 1 to 4

Please refer to the Statement Accompanying the Notice of AGM for information.

3. Ordinary Resolutions 5 to 11

Pursuant to Section 230(1) of the Companies Act 2016, the fees of the directors, and any benefits payable to the
directors of a listed company and its subsidiaries shall be approved at the general meeting.

The fee structure for the Board Chairperson, Non-Executive Board members, Chairmen of the Board Committees and
Board Committee members for the financial year ending 31 December 2023 remains the same as the preceding
financial year. The total amount of Directors’ fees sought from the shareholders for the financial year ending
31 December 2023 is RM542,400.

With regards to Ordinary Resolutions 5, 6 and 11, Tan Sri Faizah Binti Mohd Tahir has indicated that she will resign as
the Chairperson of the Board immediately after the conclusion of the AGM. In conjunction with her resignation,
En Abd Malik Bin A Rahman will be redesignated as the Chairman of the Board and Senior Independent Non-Executive
Director and Ms Ho Kim Poi will be redesignated as the Audit Committee Chairperson.

In the event new Director(s) is/are appointed after the AGM on 24 May 2023, the Company would seek approval for the
payment of fees to the new Director(s) at the next AGM.

4. Ordinary Resolution 12

The proposed Directors’ benefits under Ordinary Resolution 12 are based on the current number of Directors on the
Board and scheduled Board and Committee Meetings for the financial year ending 31 December 2023. In the event the
proposed amount is insufficient, approval will be sought at the next AGM for the shortfall.

5. Ordinary Resolution 13

The Board has through the Audit Committee, considered the re-appointment of Ernst & Young PLT as Auditors of the
Company. The factors considered by the Audit Committee in making the recommendation to the Board to table their
re-appointment at the 28th AGM are disclosed in the Corporate Governance Overview Statement of this Annual Report.

Explanatory Note on Special Business

1. Ordinary Resolution 14

This Resolution, if passed, will allow the Group to renew its existing mandate obtained at the 27th AGM held on 25
May 2022 to enter into recurrent related party transactions of a revenue or trading nature with ABGIL and Amway (S)
in the ordinary course of business, and the necessity to convene separate general meetings from time to time to seek
shareholders’ approval as and when such recurrent related transactions occur would not arise. Besides facilitating a
smoother and more efficient conduct of business, this would substantially reduce administrative time, inconvenience,
expenses associated with the convening of such meetings and would place the Group in a better position to leverage
and take advantage of business opportunities as and when they may arise, without compromising the corporate
objectives of the Group. The shareholders’ mandate is subject to renewal on an annual basis.

Please refer to the Circular to Shareholders dated 19 April 2023 for further details.

STATEMENT ACCOMPANYING
THE NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 8.27(2) OF THE MAIN MARKET LISTING
REQUIREMENTS OF BURSA MALAYSIA SECURITIES BERHAD

There are no individuals standing for election/appointment as Directors at the 28th Annual General Meeting.

Mr Michael Jonathan Duong, Pn Aida Binti Md Daud, Mr Low Han Kee and Ms Ho Kim Poi (“Retiring Directors”) are standing for
re-election as Directors of the Company and being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the 28th AGM. Their
profiles can be found on pages 75, 76, 81 and 82 of the Annual Report 2022.

The Nominating Committee (“NC”) conducts a Board Effectiveness Evaluation (“BEE”) annually to determine whether the
Board, Board Committees and Directors are performing and discharging their duties effectively. The Board is satisfied with the
overall results of the BEE conducted for the financial year ended 31 December 2022.

The Retiring Directors meet the criteria prescribed under Paragraph 2.20A of the Main Market Listing Requirement (“MMLR”)
of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad on character, experience, integrity, competence and time to effectively discharge their
roles as Directors. None of the Retiring Directors has any conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest, including interest
in any business that is in competition with the Company or its subsidiaries.

The NC has conducted a review and assessment of the Retiring Directors in accordance with the Directors’ Fit and Proper
Policy and is satisfied that they have met the criteria prescribed by the said Policy.

Contributions and reasons for the Retiring Directors’ re-election are as follows:

1. Mr Michael Jonathan Duong

Mr Michael Jonathan Duong was appointed as the Executive Director of the Company on 1 January 2017 and
redesignated as the Managing Director on 1 May 2018.

Having started his career in Amway in 2008, the Board believes that Mr Michael Jonathan Duong’s in-depth
understanding of Amway’s operations and the direct selling industry together with his strong leadership skills are all
hugely beneficial to the Company and essential to delivering the Company’s strategic priorities in the years ahead.

2. Pn Aida Binti Md Daud

Pn Aida Binti Md Daud was appointed as the Non-Independent and Non-Executive Director of the Company on
21 August 2019.

With over 30 years of experience in research, company and industry analysis as well as human capital management
and talent development, the Board believes her extensive experience in the field of human resources provides a strong
addition to the skill sets on the Board.

3. Mr Low Han Kee

Mr Low Han Kee was appointed Director of the Company on 6 June 1996. On 1 September 1998, he took over the
helm as the Managing Director of the Company until his retirement from this position on 31 January 2016.

The Board is of the view that his past senior leadership role combined with his sharp and incisive thinking, enables him
to bring essential insight to the Board and Audit Committee discussions.

4. Ms Ho Kim Poi

Ms Ho Kim Poi was appointed as the Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company on 15 March 2023.

The Board believes that she brings significant value to the Board with her experience of more than 30 years in finance
and human resources and strong track record in senior management and leadership roles. Ms Ho Kim Poi will take on
the role as Chairperson of the Audit Committee upon the conclusion of the 28th AGM.

The Board (save for the Retiring Directors who have abstained from deliberation on discussions relating to their own re-election),
believes that the contribution, commitment, and performance of the Retiring Directors continue to be invaluable and relevant
to the long-term sustainable goals and success of the Company and strongly supports their re-election as Directors.
