Chairman’s Statement

Financial Performance

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I hereby presentthe Annual Report and the Audited Financial Statements of Global Carriers Bhd for the financial year ended 31 December 2011.

The Group recorded an after tax loss of RM 1.7 million on a turnover of RM 59.4 million in 2011, as compared to an after tax loss of RM 18.1 million on a turnover of RM 58.1 million in the preceding year. This represents an increase in revenue of RM 1.3 million or 2.2 % and a decrease in after tax loss of RM 16.4 million or 90.6 % as compared to 2010.

The decrease in after-tax loss was attributable to a gain on revaluation of investment property amounting to RM 14.0 million during the year. If this gain on revaluation was excluded from the year’s result, the Group had still recorded a lower after tax loss by RM 2.4 million or 13.3 % in 2011 as compared with the preceding year.

The Year in Review

The Group faced another difficult year of challenges as anticipated. Global GDP growth moderated to 3.8% (2010: 5.2%) and global trade growth declined to 6.9% (2010: 12.7%), weighed down by uncertainties surrounding fiscal issues in the advanced economies and geopolitical tensions. In Malaysia, the economy recorded a growth of 5.1% compared with 7.2% in 2010 amidst the challenging international economic environment in 2011. (Source: Bank Negara Annual Report 2011). Significantly, these developments have dragged out the prevailing 5-year old shipping downturn which started in 2007.

The operating environment remained unrelenting dur-ing the year with freight rates still being weighed down by an enduring tonnage oversupply. Added to that, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Northern Africa as well as the continuing weak global shipping market accentuated the trend of European and other foreign-flagged ships coming over to this side of the globe to market their vessels. Chemical tankers also continued to encroach upon the clean petroleum

product (CPP) segment adding to competitive pressures.

Bunker prices (IFO 180) rose about 35% (from USD 519 to USD 702 per tonne) during the year while operating expenses increased due to increasing costs of spares and maintenance works. Technical breakdowns were also some of the other challenges faced by the Group in addition to the difficult operating environment.

Outlook & Prospects We expect prospects for the shipping sector to stay uncertain without clear signs of either a significant or sustained recovery. Although the shipping sector is recognized as one that is inherently cyclical, its present downturn has been one of the longest in recent memory. The industry has been hit by more than a few unprecedented challenges this time around and these would have a dampening effect on any attempts at recovery by the industry as a whole in the near term. Persistent key issues that continue to plague the shipping sector are the excess tonnage in the market, crew shortages, high bunker prices and low freight rates.

Whilst the short-term prospect for the Group looks to remain a challenge, we hope to cautiously steer the Group out of these present stormy waters with added and sustained efforts. We will persist with measures we have found effective in enhancing revenue and optimizing costs.

Acknowledgements

The Board and I wish to thank the relevant financial institutions, oil majors, charterers, shipyards, suppliers and shareholders for their continued support to the Group.

Last but not least, I would also like to thank the Board of Directors, Management and staff for their commitment, dedication, efforts, contributions and loyalty shown to the Group throughout the year.

ANNUAL REPORT 2011

Since inception, Global Carriers has been involved with various programs organized either internally or externally to carry out its corporate social responsibility agenda. Thus far, we have been consistent with our efforts notwithstanding the many challenges the Company have been facing the shipping downturn of the past few years.

In 2011, the Company continued to actively sponsor staff and crew training. These training courses comprised the Company’s contribution to the development and enhancement of knowledgeable and skilled Malaysian seafaring professionals, in line with the national aspiration to be a maritime nation.

Some of the many training courses and seminars to which we sponsored participants were as follows:-

1. Merchant Navy Leadership2. Shipboard Safety Officer3. Basic Safety Training4. Tanker Familiarization5. Oil Tanker Training6. Bridge Resource & Team Management 7. Medical Care/ Tanker First Aid8. Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS)

In line with its tradition of contributing to the development of education in the country, Global Carriers sponsored a total of 8 undergraduates from a few local institutes of higher learning to do their practical training in the Company. These students’ attachments were for periods of between 4 to 6 months. This annual attachment program is to help students supplement their academic knowledge with actual practical experience in the workforce. In addition to this office attachment program, the Company also offered cadet berths to 25 students pursuing diploma and degree courses in maritime / nautical studies.

The Company lent its premises to a blood donation drive for the National Blood Bank last year with our staff enthusiastically helping out with the soliciting of donors. We also invited orphans from Sekolah Agama Darul Furqan to break fast with us during the holy month of Ramadhan. These represent some of the other community contributions that the Company undertook during 2011.

We at Global Carriers reaffirm our commitment towards contributing to the community through socially-responsible business philosophy, culture and practices.

ANNUAL REPORT 2011

The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance requires the Board of public listed companies to maintain a sound system of internal control to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the companies’ assets.

RESPONSIBILITY

The Board recognises the importance of sound internal control and risk management practices to good corporate governance. The Board affirms its overall responsibility for maintaining a sound system of internal control and reviewing their adequacy and integrity so as to safeguard shareholders’ investment and Group’s assets. The system of internal control covers, inter alia, financial, operational, compliance controls and risk management. A separate risk management statement is attached as an integral part of the statement on internal control.

The Board is expected in the discharge of its stewardship responsibilities in identifying risks relating to various aspects of the Group’s business and ensures implementation of appropriate systems to control and manage these risks on an ongoing basis.

The Board will continue and enhance the structured approach of the existing procedures and processes in which risks are being identified, assessed, and reviewed.

The Board will be guided by the “Statement on Internal Control: Guidance for Directors of Public Listed Companies” issued by the Task Force on Internal Control in February 2001.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM

The internal control system which involves each business and key management from each business, including the Board, has been formulated to meet the Group’s particular needs and to appropriately manage the risks.

Due to the limitations that are inherent in any system of internal control, such systems are designed to mitigate rather than eliminate the likelihood of fraud or error. Accordingly, these systems can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The concept of reasonable assurance also recognises that the cost of control procedures should not exceed the expected benefits.

The Group has an ongoing process to review the effectiveness, adequacy and integrity of the system of internal control and these are subjected to regular review. The key elements of internal control include:

• A clearly defined line of responsibilities and different level of delegations exist in the management structure;

• Key responsibilities are properly segregated; and

• Policies, procedures, guidelines and standards of the Group whether in financial, operation and compliance controls have been established.

The processes of monitoring the system of internal control are embedded in the periodic examination by the Internal Audit Department of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control. The audit findings are reported directly to the Audit and Risk Management Committee of the Company.

The Internal Audit Department performs its duties in accordance with its annual audit plan which covers the management, operational and system audit and risk management of the Group. The Audit and Risk Management Committee comprises mainly of Independent Non-Executive Directors and has full access to both internal and external auditors.

The systematic program in implementing and continuously improving the Group’s internal control system has been established, as described below:

• Defined delegation of responsibilities to Committees of the full Board and to operating division and/or departments, including authorisation levels for all aspects of the business;

• Defined tools and/or mechanism for identifying principal risks and implementation of appropriate system to manage these risks;

• Detail budgeting process, where operating units prepare budgets for the coming year, which are thereafter approved by both the full Board and the operating units;

• Close monitoring of results against budgets, with major variances being followed up and management action taken;

• Documented internal procedures set out in a series of procedural manuals, which include compliance with International Classification Societies’ requirements, safety management and pollution control guidelines;

• Regular internal audit visits, including inspection on-board vessels to monitor compliance with policies and procedures, and safety and operation requirements;

• Regular and comprehensive information provided to the Board and Management, covering quality of compliance with the internal procedures;

• Regular visits by the Management to the operating entities i.e on-board of the vessels;

• Review on the adequacy and the integrity of the system, management information system and including system for compliance with applicable laws, regulations, rules, directives and guidelines.

The Board believes that the Company’s system of internal control provides a reasonable though not absolute assurance that weaknesses or deficiencies are identified and corrective actions are taken in a timely manner.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements of Global Carriers Bhd, which comprise the statements of financialposition as at 31 December 2011 of the Group and of the Company and the statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes as enumerated in Notes 1 to 34 and set out on pages 30 to 62.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2011 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the financial year then ended.

Emphasis of matter

Without qualifying our report, we draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statements which discloses the premise upon which the Group and the Company have prepared the financial statements by applying the going concern assumption, notwithstanding that the Group and the Company incurred a net loss of RM1,661,320 and RM76,646,144 respectively during the financial year ended 31 December 2011 and as of that date, the Group and the Company have net current liabilities of RM99,206,599 and RM18,205,388 respectively. The Board of Directors of the Group and the Company have proposed to dispose off the Company’s existing shares of its Ship Owning Subsidiaries and the investment property in one of its subsidiaries. The proposals, subject to approval of relevant authorities and successful completion, will provide the necessary cash flows to enable the Group and the Company to meet all the obligations as and when they fall due and therefore, the Directors are of the opinion that the going concern basis preparation of financial statements is appropriate.

In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia, we also report the following:-

(a) In our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and its subsidiaries have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

(b) We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the Company’s financial statements are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the financial statements of the Group and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required by us for those purposes.

(c) The auditors’ reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries did not contain any qualification or any adverse comment made under Section 174 (3) of the Act.

(*) During the financial year 2010, MASB approved and issued IC Interpretation 18 - Transfers of Assets from Customers and requires the interpretation to be applied prospectively to all transfers of assets from customers received on or after 1 January 2011.

IC Interpretation 12 is not expected to be relevant to the operations of the Group and of the Company.

Initial application of the above standards, amendments and interpretations did not have any material impact on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company except for the following:-

FRS 3 Business Combination (Revised)

The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. All payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the Statement of

Comprehensive Income. There is a choice to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed.

FRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (Revised)

The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is remeasured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Losses are required to allocate to non-controlling interests, even if it results in the non-controlling interest to be in a deficit position.

IC Interpretation 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners

This interpretation provides guidance on accounting for arrangements whereby an entity distributes non-cash assets to shareholders either as a distribution of reserves or as dividends. The Company should

measure the dividend payable at the fair value of the assets to be distributed when the dividend is appropriately authorised and is no longer at the discretion of the Company. On settlement of the dividend, the difference between the dividend paid and the carrying amount of the assets distributed

is recognised in profit or loss. If the dividend remains unpaid at the end of the financial year end, the dividend payable carrying amount is reviewed with any changes recognised in equity.

3.5 Standards issued but not yet effective

New Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) Approved Accounting Standards

To converge with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) in 2012, the MASB had on 19 November 2011, issued a new MASB approved accounting framework, the Malaysian Financial Reporting

Standards (“MFRSs”), which are mandatory for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012, with the exception of entities that are within the scope of MFRS 141 Agriculture and IC Interpretation

15 Agreements for Construction of Real Estate, including its parent, significant investor and venture (“Transitioning Entities”).

Transitioning Entities will be allowed to defer adoption of the new MFRSs for an additional one year. Consequently, adoption of the MFRSs by Transitioning Entities will be mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. However, the Group and the Company do not qualify as Transitioning Entities and are therefore required to adopt the MFRSs for the financial period beginning on or after 1

January 2012.

The Group and the Company have not early adopted the MFRS Framework.

Notes To The Financial Statements - CONTINUED -

36

ANNUAL REPORT 2011

In presenting its first MFRS financial statements, the Group and the Company will be required to restate the comparative financial statements to amounts reflecting the application of MFRS Framework. The majority of the adjustments required on transition will be made, retrospectively, against opening retained profits.

The Group and the Company have not completed its quantification of the financial effects of the differences between Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”) and accounting standards under the MFRS

Framework and are in the process of assessing the financial effects of the differences. Accordingly, the consolidated financial performance and financial position as disclosed in these financial statements for

the financial year ended 31 December 2011 could be different if prepared under the MFRS Framework.

The Group and the Company expect to be in a position to fully comply with the requirements of the MFRS Framework for the financial year ending 31 December 2012.

3.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial statements. They affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and reported amounts

of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. Estimates and underlying assumptions are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations

of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the

estimate results.

Information about significant judgements estimates and assumption that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed below:-

3.6.1 Estimation uncertainty

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

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful life. Management estimated the useful life of these assets to be within 3 to 25 years and reviews the useful life of depreciable assets at each end of reporting date. At end of reporting date, management assesses that the useful life represent the expected utility of the assets to the Group. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful life and the residual values of these

assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.

The carrying amount of the Group’s property, plant and equipment at the end of the reporting date is disclosed in Note 5 to the financial statements.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

The carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment are reviewed 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 to determine the amount of impairment loss.

For the purpose of impairment testing of these assets, recoverable amount is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined from other assets. Therefore, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs to.

Impairment of loans and receivables

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objectives that a financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group considers factors

such as probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the receivables and default and significant delay in payments.

Where there is objectives evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics.

3.6.2 Management judgement

The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Group that have the most significant effects on the financial statements.

Classification between investment properties and owner-occupied properties

The Group determines whether a property qualifies as an investment property, and has developed criteria in making that judgement. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital

appreciation or both. Therefore, the Group considers whether a property generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets held by the Group.

Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. If these portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease), the Group accounts for the portions separately. If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is an

investment property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.

Judgement is made on an individual property basis to determine whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not qualify as an investment property.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

4.1 Basis of consolidation

The Group’s financial statements consolidate the audited financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries, which have been prepared in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. The financial statement of the Company and its subsidiaries are all drawn up to the same reporting date.

All inter-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Identifiable assets acquired 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 re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date and any corresponding gain or loss is recognised in profit

or loss.

The Group elects for each individual business combination, whether non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, is recognised on the acquisition date at fair value, or at the non-controlling interest’s

proportionate share of the acquiree net identifiable assets.

Any excess of the sum of the fair value of the consideration transferred in the business combination, the amount of the non-controlling interest in the acquiree (if any), and the fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), over the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill in the statement of financial position. In instances where the latter amount exceeds the former, the excess is recognised as a gain on bargain purchase in profit or loss on the acquisition date.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Non-controlling interest represents the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive

income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company.

Changes in the Company owners’ ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interest are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent.

4.2 Foreign currencies translation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the functional currency of the parent Company.

Notes To The Financial Statements - CONTINUED -

38

ANNUAL REPORT 2011

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective Group entity, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary items at year-end exchange rates, whether realised or unrealised, are recognised in profit or loss except for exchange differences arising from monetary items that form part of

the Group’s net investment in foreign operations, which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and accumulated under foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction (not retranslated). Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the

translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profits or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in equity.

4.3 Property, plant and equipment, depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are initially stated at cost. The cost of an item of property, 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.

Capital work in progress consists of vessel under construction for intended use as property, plant and equipment. The amount is stated cost and not depreciated until the assets is fully completed and brought into use.

All property, plant and equipment are subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and less any impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognises such costs as individual assets with specific useful lives and

depreciation, respectively. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation is recognised on the straight line method in order to write off the cost or valuation of each asset over its estimated useful life. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated based on the

estimated useful lives of the assets as follows :

Ships 4 % Motor vehicles 20 % Equipment, furniture and fittings 10 % - 33 1/3 % Dry-docking 20 % - 40 %

Restoration cost relating to an item of property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if such expenditure is expected to increase the future benefits from the existing property, plant and equipment

beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, or at least annually 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.

Property, plant and equipment are derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in profit or loss.

4.4 Other investment

Non-current investments other than investment in subsidiaries are shown at cost and provision is only made where, in the opinion of the Directors, there is impairment in value. Impairment in the value of an investment is recognised as an expense in the financial period in which the impairment is identified.

On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is charged or credited to the statements of comprehensive income.

4.5 Investment property

Investment properties consist of land and buildings held for capital appreciation or rental purpose and not occupied or only an insignificant portion is occupied for use or in the operations of the Group.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value and are revalued annually and are included in the statement of financial position at their open market values. These are determined by

Notes To The Financial Statements - CONTINUED -

39

GLOBAL CARRIERS BHD 329687-X

99

external professional valuers with sufficient experience with respect to both the location and the nature of the investment property and supported by market evidence. Any gain or loss resulting from either a change in the fair value or the sale of an investment property is immediately recognised in profit or loss within ‘change in fair value of investment property.

Investment properties are derecognised when either they are disposed off or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss on the retirement or disposal of an investment property is recognised in the profit or loss in the financial year of retirement or disposal.

4.6 Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group and the Company review the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment by comparing its carrying amount with its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of a cash-generating unit or groups of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to those units or group of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rate basis.

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the profit or loss immediately, except for the assets that are previously revalued where 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.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. That increased amount cannot 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 measured at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

An impairment loss recognised for goodwill shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.

4.7 Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is a company in which the Group or the Company has the power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account.

Investment in subsidiary is stated at cost less any impairment losses in the Company’s financial position.

Upon the disposal of investment in a subsidiary, the difference between the net disposal proceed and its carrying amount is included in profit or loss.

4.8 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liability are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value plus transactions costs, except for financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured subsequently as described

below.

Embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if, and only if, it is not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the host contract is not categorised at fair value through profit or loss. The host contract, in the event an embedded derivative is recognised separately, is accounted for in accordance with policy applicable to the nature of the host contract.

Notes To The Financial Statements - CONTINUED -

40

ANNUAL REPORT 2011

4.8.1 Financial assets

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

(a) loans and receivables; (b) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; (c) held to maturity investments; and (d) available-for-sale financial assets.

The category determines subsequent measurement and whether any resulting income and expense is recognised in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income.

All financial assets except for those at fair value through profit or loss are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired when there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described below.

A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or when the financial assets and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred.

Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the market place concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Group and the Company commit to purchase or sell the asset.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Discounting is omitted where the effect of

discounting is immaterial. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. The Group’s and the Company’s

cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current.

4.8.2 Financial liabilities

After the initial recognition, financial liability is classified as financial liability at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expired, or through amortisation process. 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 a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amount is

recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities held for trading include derivatives entered into by the Group and the Company that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria. Derivative liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently stated at fair value, with any resultant gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or losses on derivatives include exchange differences.

The Group and the Company have not designated any financial liabilities as at fair value through profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities

The Group’s and Company’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Notes To The Financial Statements - CONTINUED -

41

GLOBAL CARRIERS BHD 329687-X

99

4.8.3 Compound financial instruments

Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible notes that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value.

The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognised initially at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and

the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition except on conversion or expiry.

4.9 Impairment of financial assets

The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired.

4.9.1 Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost

To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, the Group and the Company consider factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant

financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually

are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis based on similar risk characteristics. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s and the Company’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase 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.

If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flow discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an

allowance account. When a trade receivable becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.

If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

4.10 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value and are determined on the First-In-First Out basis (FIFO). The cost of inventories includes direct costs and transportation charges necessary to bring the inventories to their present locations and condition.

4.11 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank balances, short term demand deposits, bank overdrafts and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which

are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Bank overdrafts are shown in current liabilities in the statements of financial position.

For the purpose of the financial position, cash and cash equivalents restricted to be used to settle a liability of 12 months or more after the reporting date are classified as non-current asset.

4.12 Equity, reserve and dividend payments

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

Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Share premium includes any premiums received on issue of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits.

The revaluation reserve within equity comprises gains and losses due to the revaluation of property, plant

Notes To The Financial Statements - CONTINUED -

42

ANNUAL REPORT 2011

and equipment. Foreign currency translation differences arising on the translation of the Group’s foreign entities are included in the exchange translation reserve. Gains and losses on certain financial instruments are included in reserves for available-for-sale financial assets and cash-flow hedges respectively.

Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits.

Dividends on redeemable preference shares are recognised as a liability and expressed on an accrual basis. Other dividends are accounted for in shareholder’s equity as an appropriation of retained earnings and recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded separately within equity.

4.13 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when there is a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliabily, as a result of a past event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Any reimbursement that the Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision.

Provisions are reviewed at each end of the reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the

obligation, the provision is reversed. Where the effect of the time of money is material, provision are discounted using a current pre tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

4.14 Borrowings cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. 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.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Group and the Company incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.

4.15 Employee benefits

4.15.1 Short term benefits

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the financial year, in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group and the Company.

4.15.2 Defined contribution plans

Obligation for contributions to defined contribution plan such as Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”) are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.

4.16 Revenue recognition

The results of liner voyages, completed and uncompleted, up to the reporting date date are included in the operating profit for the financial year. For voyages which remain uncompleted as at the reporting date, the freight receivable for cargoes loaded onto vessels up to the reporting date and their relevant discharging costs are accrued in the statements of comprehensive income.

The results of other voyages and that of other services rendered by the Group are accounted for on a time accrual basis.

Rental income from investment property is recognised on accrual basis.

4.17 Income tax

4.17.1 Income tax

Current tax expense is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the financial year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised in financial position as liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). Current tax is recognised in profit or loss except

Notes To The Financial Statements - CONTINUED -

43

GLOBAL CARRIERS BHD 329687-X

99

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

4.17.2 Deferred tax

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are provided for under the liability method in respect of all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the financial position and its tax base including unused tax losses and capital allowances.

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 investment in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, 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.

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 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, associates and interests in joint ventures, 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 a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each end of the reporting period. If 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, the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset will be reduced accordingly. When it

becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available, such reductions will be reversed to the extent of the taxable profit. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each end of the reporting period 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 is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by

the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss.

33. 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. Financial risk management policy is established to ensure that adequate resources are available for the development of the Group’s business whilst managing its credit risk, liquidity risk,

foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. The Group operates within clearly defined policies and procedures that are approved by the Board of Directors to ensure the effectiveness of the risk management process.

The main areas of financial risks faced by the Group, the Company and the policy in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are set out as follows:

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. It is the Group’s policy to enter into financial instrument with a diversity of creditworthy counterparties. The Group does not expect to incur material credit losses of its financial assets or other financial instruments.

Concentration of credit risk exists when changes in economic, industry and geographical factors similarly affect the group of counterparties whose aggregate credit exposure is significant in relation

to the Group’s total credit exposure. The Group’s portfolio of financial instrument is broadly diversified along industry, product and geographical lines, and transactions are entered into with

diverse creditworthy counterparties, thereby mitigate any significant concentration of credit risk.

It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. The Group does not offer credit terms without the approval of the head of

credit control.

As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from receivables is limited to the carrying amounts in the statements of financial position.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity and cash flow risks are the risks that the Group and the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due, as a result shortage of funds.

In managing its exposures to liquidity and cash flow risks arises principally from its various payables, loans and borrowings, the Group and the Company maintain a level of cash and cash equivalents and bank facilities deemed adequate by the management to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due.

The Group and the Company aim at maintaining a balance of sufficient cash and deposits and flexibility in funding by keeping diverse sources of committed and uncommitted credit facilities from various banks.

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.

To mitigate the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk, the Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales, purchases, investments, and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities. The currency giving rise to this risk is primarily U.S. Dollar (USD), Singapore Dollar (SGD) and Indonesia Rupiah (IDR).

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk, based on carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period was:

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis:

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s and the Company’s profit for the financial year to a reasonably possible change in the USD, SGD and IDR exchange rates against the respective functional currency of the Group, with all other variables held constant.

GROUPLoss for the year

Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the financial year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the

Group’s exposures to foreign currency risk.

(d) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the Group’s and the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The Group’s and the Company’s fixed rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes in interest rates. The Group’s and the Company’s variable rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to changes in interest rates.

The Group’s and the Company’s interest rate management objective is to manage the interest expenses consistent with maintaining an acceptable level of exposure to interest rate fluctuation. In

order to achieve this objective, the Group’s and the Company’s targets a mix of fixed and floating debts based on assessment of its existing exposure and desired interest rate profile.

Notes To The Financial Statements - CONTINUED -

ANNUAL REPORT 2011

The interest rate profile of the Group’s and the Company’s significant interest-bearing financial instruments, based on carrying amount as at end of the reporting year were as follows:

GROUP 2011 (RM)

COMPANY 2011 (RM)

Fixed rate instrument Financial assets Short term deposits with licensed banks 2,220,439 -

Financial liabilities Borrowings 162,858,813 44,720,170

The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the Group does not designate derivatives as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would not affect profit or loss.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity to a reasonable possible change in interest rate of +/- 100 basis point (“bp”). These changes considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions. The calculations are based on a change in the average market interest rate for each period, and the financial instruments held at each reporting date that are sensitive to changes interest rate. All other variables are held constant.

(e) Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of short term receivables and payable, cash and cash equivalents and short term borrowings approximate their fair values due to the relatively short term nature of these financial instruments and insignificant impact of discounting.

The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts shown in the statements of financial position, are as follows:

The following summarises the methods used in determining the fair value of financial instruments:

(i) RULS and RCCSLS

The fair value of RULS and RCCSLS are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current interest rates for liabilities with similar risk profile.

(ii) Other investment

The fair value of quoted shares is determined by reference to stock exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of the business on the reporting date.
