Annual Report

2 0 1 0LONDON BISCUITS BERHAD

(72057-H)

On behalf of the Board of Directors of LONDON BISCUITS BERHAD (“LONDON”), it is my pleasure to present to you the Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Group for the financial year ended 30 June 2010.

Review of Performance

Group’s revenue for the financial year ended 30 June 2010 surged by RM39,131,998 to RM223,434,122, which represented a 21.23% increase over that achieved in the preceding year of RM184,302,124. The Group continues to achieve commendable progressive operating revenue. Internal targets set for management to go all out, not only to sustain our current achievements but to improve substantially on it.

Profit After Income Tax attributable to the Group fell slightly by 6% to RM15,064,018 as compared to RM16,027,316 achieved in the previous year. This is because the Group “suffered” a slight hiccup of having had to write off certain amount against our investment in Lay Hong Berhad in the year under review. If not for this mentioned write off, the Group would have met our internal target of approximately RM20,000,000 profit for the year under review. The Board deliberated on this write off and are of unanimous opinion to allow for this painful stand as a matter of prudence and good accounting policy. With this behind us, we now move forward exciting. Like an old Chinese saying goes, “BITTER FIRST, SWEET TASTE LATER”.

The result of LONDON on its own stands very impressively. We recovered in 2010, with a good financial showing, although the world is still in midst of global economic crisis, with ever rising cost of production and against pressure from competitors and consumers pricing. Profit After Income Tax went up by 61.6% from RM8,422,511 to RM13,610,392.

The basic net earnings per share of the Group for the financial year, 2010 fell accordingly to 17.31sen (2009 – 20.54sen), based on the weighted average number of 96,031,500 ordinary shares (2009 – 78,045,000) of RM1 each, in issue as at 30 June 2010.

As at 30 June 2010, Group’s shareholders’ equity stood at RM199,330,061 (2009 - RM168,662,503 ) whilst Group’s net tangible assets per share fell to RM1.94 in 2010 from RM2.00 per share in 2009.

Outlook and Prospects

Recovery, we believe is in sight. Although, the year ahead should remain difficult and challenging, the Board is confident that LONDON is in for another good year.

We predicted LONDON should end this financial year 2010 with a “bang” and it indeed did so. We went through a string of activities, added another public listed company to our stable and also decided to dispose one off but what we did not expect was the wide media publicity and the regulatory coverage that came along with it.

When we first bought into Lay Hong Berhad (“Lay Hong”), the principal objective was to assure ourselves of a continuous and adequate supply of quality liquid eggs at reasonable prices. Liquid eggs is one of the main raw material ingredients in the manufacturing of our range of cake products. An investment opportunity was extended to us to take up a “controlling” stake in TPC PLUS BERHAD (“TPC”) at a reasonably cheap entry cost. TPC, a company also listed in the main market of Bursa Malaysia, is principally involve in the business of producing chicken eggs for industrial, commercial and consumer use. We believe we made a good buy, so much so that we went ahead to extend a Conditional Mandatory Take-Over Offer (“MGO”) for TPC shares not already owned by LONDON. Although, the MGO was not successful, it nevertheless an indication that, with LONDON as its major shareholder, the remaining TPC shareholders have faith in the future of TPC ahead.

Arising from the acquisition of TPC were subjected to mounting claims of a situation of potential conflict of interest by virtue of our only one Board representation on the Board of Lay Hong as TPC is in similar business as Lay Hong. Your Board deliberated carefully on this matter and it was decided to sell off our interest in Lay Hong, incurring a “paper” loss, which is actually an accumulation of our share of profit after income tax and equity-accounted for on Lay Hong. Having TPC has opened the door to a core of business activities and synergies that will be developed or expanded, whether upstream or downstream on its own or with LONDON, on a win-win situation. The most important is now, we have in the Group, our very own supplier of eggs with assured quality, is cost-effective and will adequately meet our ever growing substantial requirements. This is especially so with the commissioning of our new London Roll cake production line which we believe to be the single biggest such production line in South East Asia. This line, once up and running, will more than double our existing production capacity. This decision to sell Lay Hong, is purely, a commercial and business decision. Rightly or wrongly, only time will tell.

(72057-H)

The construction of a new warehouse with to cater for storage needs is completed in respect of expected increase in

raw materials supply due to the upcoming commissioning of the abovementioned new London Roll cake line and in

anticipation of an increase in demand for our products. Older machines and facilities in the snack manufacturing

division are being reviewed and reassessed for upgrading to custom design and built machines, which will improve

production efficiencies and reduce manpower requirements.

The huge allocation approved for an intensive and aggressive marketing and advertising campaign is maintained

with successful TV programmes in Malaysia and Singapore, supported with strong product campaigns on ground

events such as Suarasa and Karnival Jom Heboh by TV3 to create a continued awareness of our Group Brand Name,

as a mean to build and to retain customers loyalty continues to bring fruitful and meaningful results. These

campaigns also help to promote and to educate on the convenience and health benefits of our products that use

high quality ingredients. The Group is committed to maintain our current performance and to confirm our position

as one of the market leaders not only in Malaysia but also in this part of the region. We have commenced a Brand

Building campaign in Hong Kong and Vietnam and took an active part in the EKSPO BELI BARANG MALAYSIA,

organized by Pejabat Perdagangan Dalam Negeri with aim to introduce our quality Malaysian made products to

Malaysian customers. Our participation in trade missions, exhibitions and fairs held internationally and on local front

(Singapore FHA 2010, Japan Foodex 2010, Dubai Sweet Middle East 2010, Kuala Lumpur MIHAS 2010) received good

reviews from visitors, existing and potential customers.

Dividends

Difficult trading and business conditions and environment are still in year, ahead. The Board is always constantly on

the workout for a solution to conserve financial resources of the Group to meet capital, operating and investing

expenditure and at same time to reward our shareholders for their faith, support and loyalty to the Group. This is the

stance that your Board has adopted consistently over the years. We have work out a “Win-Win” formulation that

should ensure a steady cashflow for the Group’s requirements at same time, able to service our dividends to

shareholders in an orderly manner in line with an improvement in our resources. The Board has already declared an

interim dividend of 1.5 sen (tax-exempt) per share in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2010, amounting to

RM1,440,203, which will be paid, by month end, on 26 November 2010. Although, we do not intend to propose any

final dividend for the same financial year, the Board may consider to declare an interim dividend in respect of the

financial year ending 30 June 2011 in future.

Acknowledgement and Appreciation

I, take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to my fellow directors, the management team and

all our employees for their hard work and dedicated services in the past year. In recognition, the Board has

proposed to terminate the existing Employees’ Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”), to be replaced with a New ESOS

to continue to reward, to motivate and to retain employees and Executive Directors, whose services are

considered vital to LONDON Group.

My heartfelt thanks are also extended to our valued customers, suppliers, bankers and to others whose

supports are invaluable to the continued success of LONDON.

Reserves and Provisions

Other than as disclosed in the financial statements, there were no material transfers to or from reserves or

provisions during the financial year.

Bad and Doubtful Debts

Before the income statements and balance sheets of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors

took reasonable steps to ascertain that action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the

making of allowance for doubtful debts and are satisfied that there are no known bad debts and adequate

allowance had been made for doubtful debts.

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances that would require the writing off

of bad debts or render the amount of allowance made for doubtful debts inadequate to any substantial extent.

Current Assets

Before the income statements and balance sheets of the Group and of the Company were made out, the

Directors took reasonable steps to ascertain whether any current assets which were unlikely to realise in the

ordinary course of business their values as shown in the accounting records of the Group and of the Company

and to the extent so ascertained were written down to an amount that they might be expected to realise.

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances that would render the values

attributed to the current assets of the Group and of the Company misleading.

Valuation Methods

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which render

adherence to the existing methods of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company

misleading or inappropriate.

2.2 Changes in Accounting Policies and Effects from Adoption of New and Revised FRSs (Continued)

2.3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a) Subsidiary Companies and Basis of Consolidation

Subsidiary companies are enterprises controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company

has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the enterprises so as to obtain

benefits from their activities.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its

subsidiary companies made up to the balance sheet date using the purchase method of accounting.

Under this method, the results of the subsidiary companies acquired are included in the consolidated

financial statements from the dates of acquisition.

Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of identifiable

assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities represents goodwill.

Any excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contin-

gent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in income statement.

All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation and the consolidated

financial statements reflect external transactions only.

b) Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation

c) Leases

i) Classification

A lease is recognised as a finance lease if it transfers substantially to the Group all the risks and

rewards incidental to ownership. Leases of land and buildings are classified as operating or finance

leases in the same way as leases of other assets and the land and buildings elements of a lease of

land and buildings are considered separately for the purposes of lease classification. All leases that

do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards are classified as operating leases.

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent costs are

included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when

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. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period

in which they are incurred.

Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost as modified by the

revaluation of certain freehold land and buildings and certain plant and machinery less accumulated

depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.

No depreciation is provided on freehold land, freehold land and buildings-in-progress and plant and

machinery under installation.

All other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis to write off the cost

of each asset to their residual value over the estimated useful lives of the assets concerned. The

principal annual rates used are as follows:-

Freehold buildings 1%

Plant & machinery 5%

Plant and machinery at group cost 6 2/3%

Motor vehicles 20%

Furniture & fittings 10%

Office & laboratory equipment 10%

Renovations & electrical fittings 10%

The Group and Company adopts a policy to revalue its freehold land and buildings every 5 years

from the date of last revaluation. Surplus arising from revaluation is credited directly to revaluation

reserve. Deficit in excess of the revaluation reserve arising from previous revaluation is taken to the

income statement.

The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end to

ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates

and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of

property, plant and equipment.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future

economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal

proceeds, if any and the net carrying amount is recognised in income statement.

2.3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

c) Leases (Continued)

ii) Finance Leases

d) Investment Properties

iii) Operating Leases

Assets acquired by way of finance leases are stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair

values and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases, less

accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The corresponding liability is included in the

balance sheet as borrowings. In calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments, the

discount factor used is the interest rate implicit in the lease, when it is practicable to determine,

otherwise, the Group’s or Company's incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct costs are

also added to the carrying amount of such assets.

Lease payments are apportioned between the finance costs and the reduction of the outstanding

liability. Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total leasing commitments and

the fair value of the assets acquired, are recognised in income statement over the term of the

relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the

obligations for each accounting period.

The depreciation policy for leased assets is in accordance with that for depreciable property, plant

and equipment as described in Note 2.3(b).

Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or

for both. Gain or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included

in the income statement in the year in which they arise.

Investment properties are derecognised when they have either been disposed of or when the investment

property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. On

the derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and

the carrying amount is charged to the income statement; any amount in the revaluation reserve

relating to the investment property is transferred to retained earnings.

e) Intangible Assets

(i) Goodwill on Consolidation

Goodwill on consolidation represents the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration

over the Group's share of the fair values of the identifiable net assets of subsidiaries at the date of

acquisition.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of

the relevant lease. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a

reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

In the case of a lease of land and buildings, the minimum lease payments or the up-front

payments made are allocated, whenever necessary, between the land and the buildings elements

in proportion to the relative fair values for leasehold interests in the land element and buildings

element of the lease at the inception of the lease. The up-front payment represents prepaid lease

payments and are amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

2.3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

e) Intangible Assets (Continued)

(i) Goodwill on Consolidation

f) Inventories

Goodwill on consolidation is retained in the consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amount of

the goodwill is reviewed annually and is written down for impairment where it is considered necessary.

The impairment value of goodwill is taken to the consolidated income statement.

If after reassessment, the Group's interest in the fair values of the identifiable net assets of the

subsidiaries exceed the cost of the business combinations, the excess is recognised immediately in

the consolidated income statement.

(ii) Other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible

assets acquired in a business combination is their fair values as at the date of acquisition. Following

initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any

accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite

or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives 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 asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an

intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each balance sheet date.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised but tested for impairment annually

or more frequently if the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may

be impaired either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The useful life of an intangible

asset with an indefinite life is also reviewed annually to determine whether the useful life assessment

continues to be supportable.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value on the weighted average cost basis. Cost

of raw materials comprise the cost of purchase plus the cost of bringing the inventories to their present

location and condition. For finished goods and work-in-progress cost consist of raw materials, direct labour

and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less selling expenses. In

arriving at net realisable value, due allowance is made for all obsolete and slow moving inventories.

g) Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses, if any. Investments in quoted

shares, portfolio investment in quoted shares and money market and unquoted bonds held as long

term investments are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Marketable securities

are carried at lower of cost and market value. Market value is calculated by reference to stock

exchange quoted price at close of business on the balance sheet date.

h) Receivables

Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identified.

Allowance is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts as at the balance

sheet date.

2.3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances and deposits with licensed banks, net of outstanding bank overdrafts which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received.

Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation, legal or constructive 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 can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Property, plant and equipment acquired under hire-purchase are capitalised and are depreciated in accordance with the policy stated in Note 2.3(b) and the corresponding obligations relating to the remaining capital payments are treated as liabilities. Finance charges are charged to the income statement over the period of the plan and accounted for on a straight line method.

Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of transaction costs.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are ready for their intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the income statement as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Ordinary shares are recorded at the nominal value and proceeds in excess of the nominal value of shares issued, if any, are accounted for as share premium. Both ordinary shares and share premium are classified as equity. Cost incurred directly attributable to the issuance of the shares are accounted for as a deduction from share premium, otherwise it is charged to the income statement.

Dividends to shareholders are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared or approved by shareholders at general meeting.

Income tax on the profit for the year comprises current and deferred income tax liabilities. Current income tax liabilities is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date.

2.3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Deferred income tax liabilities is provided for using the liability method, on temporary fifferences at

the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in

the financial statements. In principle, deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable

temporary differences and deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary

differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable

profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and

unused tax credits can be utilised.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be

available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of

a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date. If it is no longer probable that sufficient

taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilised,

the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset will be reduced accordingly. When it becomes probable

that sufficient taxable profit will be available, such reduction will be reversed to the extent of the

taxable profit.

Foreign currency transactions are converted into Ringgit Malaysia, the Group’s functional

currency, at the rates of exchange ruling on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities

in foreign currencies at balance sheet date are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at the exchange

rates ruling at that date. All exchange gains and losses are taken up in the income statement.

The principal closing rates used in translation are as follows:-

o) Income Tax (Continued)

p) Foreign Currencies

The carrying values of assets, other than inventories, are reviewed for impairment when there is an

indication that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying

values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. An impairment loss is charged to the income

statement immediately unless the asset is carried at revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a

revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of previously recognised revaluation

surplus for the same asset.

Subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as reversal of the previous

impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have

been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is

recognised in the income statement immediately, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount. A

reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited directly to revaluation surplus. However,

to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognised as an

expense in the income statement, a reversal of that impairment loss is recognised as income in the

income statement.

ii) Fair value estimation for disclosure purposes

Operating revenue of the Group and of the Company represents invoiced value of goods sold net of

returns and discounts.

Financial instruments are recognised in the respective balance sheets when the Group have become

a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. The particular recognition methods

adopted are disclosed in the individual accounting policy statements associated with each item.

Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the

contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument

classified as liability are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial

instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset

when the Group have a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends

either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Short term employees benefits

Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses and non monetary benefits are accrued

in the period in which the associated services are rendered by the employees of the Group.

Post-employment benefits

Defined contribution plan

The Group’s contribution to the defined contribution plan (“Employees Provident Fund”) are

charged to the income statement in the period in which they relate. Once the contributions have

been paid, the Group have no further payment obligations.

Equity compensation benefits

The Employees Share Option Scheme allows the employees to acquire shares of the Company. No

compensation cost or obligation is recognised. When the options are exercised, equity is increased

by the amount of the proceeds received.

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year

are assumed to approximate their fair values.

The fair values of publicly traded securities are estimated based on quoted market prices at

the balance sheet date.

The fair values of long term borrowings and hire-purchase creditors are estimated using

discounted cash flow analysis at current market interest rate available for similar types of

lending and borrowing arrangements.

The residual values for certain major plant and machinery of the Group are ascertained annually at a

percentage of cost to reflect their approximate fair value at the end of their estimated useful lives.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Management estimates the useful lives of the plant and equipment to be 5 to 20 years. Changes in the

expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and

residual values of the plant and equipment. Therefore the future depreciation charges could be revised.

Reviews are made periodically by management on damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventories.

These reviews require judgement and estimates. Possible changes in these estimates could result in

revisions to the valuations of inventories.

The Group makes allowances for doubtful debts based on an assessment of the recoverability of

receivables. Allowances are applied to receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate

that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Management specifically analysed historical bad

debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current ecomic trends and changes in

customer payment terms when making a judgement to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for

doubtful debts of receivables. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such

difference will impact the carrying value of receivables.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods

have been transferred to the buyers.

Other sources of income earned, including interest income and rental income are recognised on an

accrual basis.

Interest from investment in bonds is accounted for in the income statement when the right to

receive payment is established.

Dividend income from investment in quoted shares is accounted for in the income statement

when the right to receive payment is established.

t) Revenue (Continued)

Revenue Recognition

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the

balance sheet 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 as stated below:-

a) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

b) Net realisable values of inventories

c) Recoverability of receivables

Basic

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit after income tax by the weighted average

number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial year.

Fully diluted

For the diluted earnings per share calculation, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is

adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The dilutive potential ordinary shares for the year of the Group and of the Company are share options

granted to employees.

Share options are deemed to have been converted into ordinary shares at the beginning of the year or on

the date when the options were granted whichever is the later.

27. Financial Instruments

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The operations of the Group are subject to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, foreign currency

exchange risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk and market risk. The Group has formulated

guidelines and policies as well as internal controls which seek to minimise the Group’s exposure to risks

associated with the financing, investing and operating activities of the Group.

(a) Credit risk

(b) Foreign currency exchange risk

(c) Interest rate risk

(d) Liquidity risk and cash flow risk

(e) Market risk

Fair Values

In the opinion of the Directors, the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities of the Group at the

balance sheet date are not materially different from their fair values.

The Group has a credit policy in place to evaluate customers requiring credit over a certain amount or

period. Credit risk is further minimised and is 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.

The Group is exposed to currency risk as a result of the Group’s transactions with foreign vendors of

plant and equipment and foreign trade receivables and payables. The Group monitors the movements

in foreign currency exchange rates closely to ensure their exposure is minimised.

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from interest-bearing borrowings of which the Group

reviews and monitors the interest rates at regular intervals.

The Group actively manages its operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure

that all repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the

Group maintains sufficient levels of cash and cash equivalents to meet its working capital requirements

and prudently balances its portfolio of short term and long term funding requirements.

The Group is principally involved in the manufacture of extruded corn snacks, chocolates, cakes and

other snack products and is therefore subject to certain risks inherent in the food-processing industry.

These risks include, inter-alia the possible increase in the operating and capital costs due to increase in

the cost of labour and raw materials, changes in consumer demands and changes in general economic

conditions. The Group seeks to limit these risks through, inter-alia, expansion of both existing and new

markets, developing and maintaining a diversified market network and investment in automated

machinery to improve efficiency.
