On behalf of the Board of Directors, I have great pleasure in presenting the Annual Report and the Audited Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) for the financial year ended 31 December 2015.
Datuk William Teo TiewGroup Executive Chairman
Group Executive Chairman’s Statement

financial Performance and Review of Operations
In the financial year ended 31 December 2015, the Group recorded revenue of RM188.73 million and loss before taxation of RM20.26 million as compared to its preceding year’s revenue of RM191.03 million and loss before taxation of RM23.25 million.
The lower revenue recorded in the current financial year is mainly due to the Group’s lower sales in Moulded Power Supply Cord Sets Division in Indonesia despite the favourable currency conversion on consolidation from USD to RM. The higher revenue from the Tin Mining Division and additional revenue from new division in Travel Services and Direct Sales helped to improve the revenue in the current financial year.
Included in the loss before taxation of RM20.26 million are gain on disposal of “available-for-sale” financial assets of RM1.86 million and gain on disposal of subsidiaries of RM4.51 million.
The Group’s Moulded Power Supply Cord Sets Division recorded operating revenue of RM153.55 million and loss before taxation of RM8.59 million for the current financial year ended 31 December 2015 as compared to its preceding year’s corresponding period operating revenue of RM172.91 million and loss before taxation of RM6.37 million. The lower revenue recorded in the current financial year is due to intense competition from China-made products and constraints of funding to provide for the working capital requirement. The higher loss before taxation was due to low contribution generated from lower revenue which was unable to cover the factory operation costs and the weakening of RM against the USD further increased the loss before taxation upon currency conversion on consolidation.
The Group’s Wire and Cable Trading Division posted operating revenue of RM11.93 million and loss before taxation of RM0.27 million for the current financial year
ended 31 December 2015 as compared to its preceding year’s corresponding period operating revenue of RM13.93 million and loss before taxation of RM0.40 million. The low demand for wire and cable market is due to lesser new real estate projects launched.
The Group’s Tin Mining Division recorded operating revenue of RM8.49 million and loss before taxation of RM7.77 million for the current financial year ended 31 December 2015 as compared to its preceding year’s corresponding period operating revenue of RM2.08 million and loss before taxation of RM3.02 million.
A total of 261 metric tons of tin concentrates were produced during the current financial year ended 31 December 2015 as compared to its preceding year’s corresponding period output of 51 metric tons of tin concentrates.
Though the total tin concentrates output and revenue were higher as compared to the preceding year’s corresponding period, the Tin Mining Division recorded a higher losses due to increase mining activities on the site.
The Group’s Travel Services and Direct Sales Division recorded a revenue of RM14.59 million and a loss before taxation of RM3.73 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2015. The loss incurred was due to higher commission and incentive payout to members as a marketing strategy to expedite the recruitment of new members during the initial stage of operations by the Direct Sales Division.
The Direct Sales Division under Vitaxel Sdn Bhd was disposed off on 30 November 2015. The rational of the disposal is that the direct sale business is not a core business of the Group and its losses had been on an increasing trend. The disposal will enable the Group to streamline its investments and to relocate its resources to other businesses within the Group.

Corporate Development
On 25 March 2015, the Company announced to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa”) that it had disposed off its automotive and spare parts trading division, Orient Sun Motors Sdn Bhd.

The disposal offered a strategic opportunity for the Group to re-allocate its resources to the other businesses within the Group.
On 5 August 2015, the Company announced to Bursa to undertake the following Multiple Corporate Proposals:
• Proposed Par Value ReductionProposed reduction of the existing issued and paid-up share capital of the Company via the cancellation of RM0.15 of the par value of each existing issued and paid-up ordinary share of RM0.20 to RM0.05 each (“HWGB Shares”) pursuant to Section 64 of the Companies Act,1965;
• Proposed Rights Issue with Warrants Proposed renounceable rights issue of up to 617,598,349 new HWGB Shares (“Rights Shares”) on the basis of one (1) Right Share for every one (1) existing HWGB Shares held after the Proposed Par Value Reduction, together with up to 494,078,679 free detachable warrants (“Warrants”) on the basis of four (4) Warrants for every five (5) Rights Shares subscribed on the entitlement date and at an issue price to be determined later;
• Proposed Amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the CompanyProposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company to facilitate the implementation of the Proposed Par Value Reduction;

Prospect and Outlook
The recovery in the US economy has pushed the demand for housing market higher, improve the employment rate and higher consumer spending. All these factors may have a favourable effect to the sale of moulded power supply cord sets as US accounts for a majority of the Group’s revenue.
However, the Board is of the opinion that business operations in moulded power supply cord sets and wires and cables will continue to be challenging in view of the intense competition from China made products in the US market, rising inflationary cost in Indonesia, especially the compulsory annual increment of wages and salaries, high volatility of raw materials prices, high borrowing costs in Indonesia and working capital requirement.
The outlook for domestic demand would be underpinned by domestic consumption, market demand for local real estate projects, accommodative monetary policies and continued fiscal stimulus by the public sector. The Group’s revenue from trading of wire and cable may be affected by lesser new property projects launched and tighter credit controls set by financial institutions as lenders are more cautious in providing the consumer loan.
On the Travel Services Division, the implementation of “Goods and Services Tax” (“GST”) since April 2015 and the continuous weakening of Ringgit Malaysia had also affected the consumer spending.
The Board is hopeful that the completion of the above Multiple Corporate Proposals would improve the financial position of the Group.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Group is targeting to achieve better operating and financial performance for the financial year ending 31 December 2016.
Meanwhile, the Board will continue to explore viable, synergistic and profitable business ventures to improve the Group’s performance.
Dividend
The Board of Directors is not recommending any dividend payment for the financial year ended 31 December 2015.
Acknowledgement
On behalf of the Board, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to all our valued customers, financiers, business associates, Government authorities and shareholders for their continuous support, co-operation and confidence in the Group.
And, my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Chien Chao-Chuan who resigned from the Board as Executive Director after serving for 15 years. I would like to wish Mr. Chien the very best in his future endeavours.
Last but not least, I would like to convey my sincere appreciation and gratitude to my fellow Directors, the management and staff for their dedication and commitment.
Thank you.

Notes To The Financial Statements31December2015
1. General information
The principal activities of the Company are that of an investment holding company and the provision of management services. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 14.
TherehavebeennosignificantchangesinthenatureoftheseactivitiesduringthereportingperiodexceptthattheCompanyhasdisposedoftwoofitssubsidiaries,OrientSunMotorsSdnBhdandVitaxelSdnBhd. The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

2. Principal accounting policies
2.1 Statement of compliance
ThefinancialstatementsoftheGroupandtheCompanyhavebeenpreparedandpresentedinaccordancewith the provisions of the Companies Act 1965 and the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards.
The financial statements also complywith the International Financial Reporting Standards as issuedby theInternational Accounting Standards Board.
2.2 Basisofpreparationofthefinancialstatements
2.2.1 Basis of accounting
Thefinancialstatementshavebeenpreparedunderthehistoricalcostconventionandanyotherbasesdescribedinthesignificantaccountingpoliciesassummarisedbelow.
The Group has adopted the new and revised Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRSs”) and their related interpretations that become mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of thesenewandrevisedMFRSsandICinterpretationsdoesnotresultinsignificantchangesinaccountingpolicies of the Group.
The Group has not adopted the new standards, amendments to published standards and IC interpretations that have been issued but not yet effective. These new standards, amendments to publishedstandardsandICinterpretationsdonotresultinsignificantchangesinaccountingpoliciesofthe Group upon their initial application other than the following:
(i) MFRS9FinancialInstruments(effectiveforfinancialperiodsbeginningonorafter1January2018)
MFRS9 retainsbut simplifies themixedmeasurementmodel inMFRS139andestablishes threeprimarymeasurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through profitor lossand fair value throughothercomprehensive income (“OCI”). Thebasisofclassificationdepends on the entity’s businessmodel and the contractual cash flow characteristics of thefinancialassets.Investmentsinequityinstrumentsarealwaysmeasuredatfairvaluethroughprofitor loss with an irrevocable option at the inception to present changes in fair value in OCI (provided the instrument is not held for trading). A debt instrument is measured at amortised cost only if the entity isholdingittocollectcontractualcashflowsandthecashflowsrepresentprincipalandinterest.
Forfinancialliabilities,therewerenochangestoclassificationandmeasurementexceptfortherecognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated atfairvaluethroughprofitorloss,unlessthiscreatesanaccountingmismatch.
There is now a new expected credit losses model on impairment for all financial assets thatreplaces the incurred loss impairment model used in MFRS 139. The expected credit losses model is forward looking and eliminates the need for a trigger event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

2.2.1 Basis of accounting (cont’d)
(ii) MFRS15RevenuefromContractswithCustomers(effectiveforfinancialperiodsbeginningonorafter1January2018)
MFRS 15 supersedes MFRS 118 Revenue and introduces a new principle of revenue recognition. The core principle of MFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goodsorservicestocustomersinanamountthatreflectstheconsiderationtowhichtheentityexpects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. MFRS 15 have established the core principleofrevenuerecognitionbyapplyingthefollowingfive(5)steps:
1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer2. Identifytheperformanceobligationsinthecontract3. Determine the transaction price4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract5. Recogniserevenuewhen(oras)theentitysatisfiesaperformanceobligation
MFRS 15 also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements that would result in an entity providing users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature,amount,timinganduncertaintyofrevenueandcashflowsarisingfromtheCompany’scontractswith customers.
The Group is in the process of making an assessment of where the impact of those amendments, new standards and new interpretations is expected to be in the period of initial application.

All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.
Acquisitionsof subsidiariesareaccounted forbyapplying theacquisitionmethod. Identifiableassetsacquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition related costs are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.
In business combinations achieved in stages, previously held equity interests in the acquiree are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date and any corresponding gain or loss is recognised in profitorloss.
For each business combination, non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation are measured either at fair value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share of the recognised amountsoftheacquiree’sidentifiablenetassets.Allothercomponentsofnon-controllinginterestsshallbe measured at their acquisition-date fair values, unless another measurement basis is required by MFRSs.

Impairmentofnonfinancialassets
The carrying amount of assets (other than financial assets) subject to accounting for impairment isreviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs exceeds itsrecoverableamount.Impairmentlossisrecognisedinprofitorlossinthereportingperiodinwhichitarises, unless, the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is accounted for as a revaluation decrease to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount held in asset revaluation reserve for the same asset.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and its value in use.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. 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 losshadbeenrecognised.Thereversalisrecognisedinprofitorloss,unlesstheassetiscarriedatrevaluedamount, in which case, such reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

The Group adopted the revaluation method to measure its entire class of buildings.

Property,plantandequipmentanddepreciation(cont’d)
Depreciation on other property, plant and equipment is calculated to write off the cost of the assets to its residual values on a straight line basis at the following annual rates based on their estimated useful lives except for mine properties and plant and equipment used in mining. Mine properties and plant and equipment used in mining are depreciated using the unit-of-production method based on economically recoverable ore reserves over the estimated useful lives of the assets and the tenure of the mining lease, whichever is shorter.
The principal depreciation rates are as follows:
Buildings 2%- 3%Plantandmachinery Unit-of-production,10%-20%Furniture,fittingsandequipment 10%-25%Motor vehicles 10%-20%Renovations 3.33% - 10%Mines properties Unit-of-production
The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each reporting date to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expectedpatternofconsumptionofthefutureeconomicbenefitsembodiedintheitemsofproperty,plant and equipment.
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Such properties are stated at cost, including transaction costs less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure comprises costs which are directly attributable to researching and analysing existing exploration data, conducting geological studies, exploratory drilling and sampling, examining and testing extraction and treatment methods, and compiling pre-feasibility and feasibility studies. Exploration and evaluation expenditure also includes the costs incurred in the entry premiums paid to gain access to areas of interest and amounts payable to third parties to acquire interests in existing projects.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised. If a project is not proven to be viable, all irrecoverablecostsassociatedwiththeprojectareexpensedinprofitorloss.Capitalisedexplorationandevaluationexpendituresarestatedinthestatementoffinancialpositionatcostlessimpairmentlosses.
Once reserves are established and development is sanctioned, exploration and evaluation expenditure are tested for impairment and transferred to property, plant and equipment. All subsequent expenditure on the construction, installation or completion of infrastructure facilities is capitalised as “Mine properties” which is disclosed as a component of property, plant and equipment.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets comprising mining right and Multi-Level Marketing licence acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated economic useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible assets may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date.
Gain or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between thenetdisposalproceedsandthecarryingamountoftheassetandarerecognisedinprofitorlosswhenthe asset is derecognised.
(i) Mining right
Mining right is amortised using the straight line method based on economically recoverable ore reserves over the lease term of 10 years.
(ii) Multi-Level Marketing licence
Multi-Level Marketing licence is amortised on a straight line basis over its remaining licence period of20months.
Investment in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are those companies controlled by the Company. Control exists when these three elements are met: (a) power by investor over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights to variable returns from investor’s involvement with the investee, and (c) investor’s ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
The Company’s investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost less impairment losses, if any.

Investment in associates
AnassociateisacompanyinwhichtheGroup,directlyorindirectly,hassignificantinfluenceandwhichis neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture of the Group.
The Company’s investment in associates is stated at cost less impairment losses, if any.
The Group’s investment in associates is accounted for under the equity method of accounting based on theauditedormanagementfinancialstatementsoftheassociatesmadeuptothesamereportingdateas the Company. Under this method of accounting, the Group’s interest in the post acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associates is included in the consolidated results while dividend receivedisreflectedasareductionoftheinvestmentintheconsolidatedstatementoffinancialposition.
Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised.AnyexcessoftheGroup’sshareofthenetfairvalueoftheassociate’s identifiableassets,liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the Group’s share of the associates’profitorlossinthereportingperiodinwhichtheinvestmentisacquired.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence on impairment of the asset transferred. Where necessary, in applying the equity method, adjustmentshavebeenmade to thefinancial statementsof theassociates toensureconsistencyofaccounting policies with the Group.

Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost ofthebusinesscombinationovertheGroup’sinterestinthenetfairvalueofthenetidentifiableassets,liabilities and contingent liabilities. Goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses and is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling prices less all estimated costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
Leases
Assets acquired under leases or hire purchase which transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets are capitalised under property, plant and equipment. The assets and the corresponding lease obligations are recorded at their fair values or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments of the leased assets at the inception of the respective leases.

Segment information
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. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment andassessitsperformance,andforwhichdiscretefinancialinformationisavailable.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are substantially completed for their intended use or sale.

For certaincategories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to beimpaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis on similar risk characteristics. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increased in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated by the directors and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management is of the opinion that there are no instances of application of judgmentwhichare expected to havea significant effect on theamountsrecognisedinthefinancialstatements.
Management believes that there are no key assumptions made concerning the future, and other key sources ofestimationuncertaintyatthereportingdate,thathaveasignificantriskofcausingamaterialadjustmenttothe carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period other than as follows:
(a) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
Mine properties and plant and equipment used in mining are depreciated using the unit-of-production method based on economically recoverable ore reserves over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Changes in estimated economically recoverable ore reserves and useful lives of mine properties and mining related plant and equipment are accounted for on a prospective basis from the beginning of the reporting period in which the changes arise. Changes in the estimated economically recoverable ore reserves and expected level of usage could impact the economic useful lives and the residual value of these assets, therefore future depreciation charge could be revised.
(b) Impairmentofnonfinancialassets
The Group assesses impairment of property, plant and equipment, investment in subsidiaries, investment in an associate, exploration and evaluation expenditures and intangible assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable. In assessing such impairment, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated using the latest available fair value (after taking into account the costs to sell) or the value in use of the relevant assets.

The Group records impairment charges on available for sale financial assets when there has beena significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below their cost. The determination of what is“significant”or“prolonged”requiresjudgement.Inmakingthisjudgement,theGroupevaluates,amongother factors, historical share price movements and the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost.
(d) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period based on the factors that include asset utilisation, internal technical evaluation, technological changes, environmental and anticipated use of the assets. Changes in the expected level of use of the assets and the Group’s historical experience with similar assets after taking into account anticipated technological changes could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of the assets. Therefore, future depreciation charges could be revised.

38.2 Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont’d)
Interest rate risk management
The Group’s primary interest rate risk relates to interest bearing debts. The Group manages its interest rate exposurebymaintainingaprudentmixoffixedandfloatingrateborrowings.TheGroupactivelyreviewsitsdebtportfolio, taking into account the investment holding period and nature of its assets. The information on maturity datesandeffectiveinterestratesoffinancialliabilitiesaredisclosedintheirrespectivenotes.
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for the banking facilities at the reporting date. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group loss beforetaxwouldincrease/decreasebyRM163,000(2014:RM237,000).
Credit risk management
The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances. Credit risks are managed by the application of credit approvals limits and monitoring procedures. Credit risks are minimised and monitored via strictly limiting the Group’s associations to business partners with high creditworthiness. Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis via the Group’s management reporting procedures.Forotherfinancialassets includingcashandbankbalances, theGroupminimisescredit riskbydealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties. The Group performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers and generally does not require collateral on account receivables. At reporting date, there were no significantconcentrationsofcreditriskotherthanasfollows:

38.3 Capitalstructureandequity
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while providing an adequate return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The Group sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of the debt-to-adjusted capital ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debtdividedbyadjustedcapital.Netdebtiscalculatedastotaldebt(asshowninthestatementsoffinancialposition) less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity and reserves that are managed as capital.
