An enabler creates opportunities. An enabler drives growth. In this context, “Enabling Green” succinctly captures GreenTech Malaysia’s role in 2014. The organisation explored new avenues, joined forces with industry frontrunners, enhanced the nation’s green capabilities, and spurred the overall development of the green sector in Malaysia. GreenTech Malaysia manifests the spirit of “Enabling Green” through a holistic approach, right from its vision all the way down to on-the-ground implementation of its programmes: vision GreenTech Malaysia has a well-defined objective to position the country as a thriving hub for green technology by 2020 and transform Malaysia into a Green Community by 2030. strategy The organisation has a well-designed cluster strategy for the green economy, built on its existing strengths and collaborative dynamics. Towards this end, the four Flagships; Green Malaysia Plan, Green Procurement, Electric Mobility and Sustainable Living constitute a markedly segmented yet comprehensive approach. policy As an operating arm of the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water, GreenTech Malaysia enjoys direct access to the Government as well as its related machinery. It can therefore effect decisions and policies in favour of a sustainable future. investment To spur innovation and encourage green entrepreneurship, GreenTech Malaysia has assisted nascent green ventures in securing investments from financial institutions. In addition, the organisation has made smart investments in forming new strategic alliances and joint ventures. partnerships GreenTech Malaysia works closely with various stakeholders to nurture creativity and innovation through collaborations among industry players, investors, innovators, government officials and international associates. talent As the nation’s lead agency for green technology, GreenTech Malaysia has commissioned several green-centric local and international training programmes for policy-makers, start-ups, SMEs and its own staff. These have resulted in an enhanced pool of talent, equipped and competent to take on a growing number of green job opportunities. on-the-ground GreenTech Malaysia continues to drive comprehensive on-the-ground education, appreciation and adoption programmes to popularise green and sustainable practices among the public. enabling green, enabling growth 31 chairman’s statement enabling green demands bold decisions & relentless effort Dear Members, On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Annual Report of Malaysian Green Technology Corporation (GreenTech Malaysia) for the financial year ended 31st December 2014. The world of green technology abounds with inspiring new ideas and developments. I am awestruck by the rapid adoption of green practices the world over, and fascinated by much of the progress being made. It is worth looking to some of the pioneers in sustainability from around the world: Sweden is currently recognised as the world’s No.1 sustainable country; Norway is the world’s No.1 in terms of electric vehicle usage; Iceland is proudly the world’s only country with 100% electricity from renewable energy; Ireland has become the world’s first country to include carbon credits in its tax system; and Germany boasts the city of Frankfurt as the world’s No.1 sustainable city today. These countries in particular, and others with similar visions for sustainability, should be commended for their remarkable achievements. What sets them apart from the rest is that they have taken a definitive stance, and followed through on that decision, consistently working on their set objectives, year in, year out. Every country or organisation that is set to lead has to make bold decisions and back these with persistent actions, notwithstanding the various challenges thrown their way. As the lead catalyst driving the nation’s green agenda, GreenTech Malaysia, collaborating closely with the Government, Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA) and other relevant Ministries, has made steady progress in enabling green growth to become more visible in the marketplace and enabling “green” to become a “naturally preferred choice”. Concerted efforts by all stakeholders have thus far contributed to the overall reduction of 25% of CO2 emissions or 40.2 MtCO2eq for the country since COP15, while increasing the green technology sector’s contribution to GDP to 0.8%, or RM7.9 billion in 2014. We are optimistic that, with the launch of the Green Technology Master Plan in 2015, coupled with the various strategic green programmes in the pipeline, more emphasis will be given to the national green agenda to further drive Malaysia towards its COP15 carbon emission reduction pledge and increase the sector’s GDP contribution to 1.2%, or RM22.4 billion, by 2020. Underlying our efforts is a fundamental understanding that, in order for real and lasting change to take place, green growth must be seen to bring with it economic, environmental and social benefits. The challenge has thus been to enable and promote green growth holistically, from the vision, policy and strategy level down to on-the-ground activation. Against this background, we have had to restructure our various programmes in terms of flagships, drop initiatives that were not aligned with our end goals, as well as re-evaluate our hiring policies and processes, whilst venturing into uncharted territory such as electric mobility in Malaysia. Our KPIs for 2014, as set by the Board, have ensured that all our ideas and implementation culminate in enabling sustainable practices to be understood and adopted across various segments of industry and the community. 32 “ at malaysian green technology corporation, we are in the enviable position of not just being involved in green technology, but of enjoying the government’s mandate to lead malaysia’s green agenda. enabling green for an entire nation is a huge responsibility that has demanded from us bold decisions and relentless effort to help shape a sustainable future. ” investments: To grow as a green leader, we have made smart investments in promising strategic partners and commercially viable ventures. innovation: To spur innovation and introduce breakthrough technologies, we have collaborated with various partners to involve new players, develop new sectors and increase competitiveness. purchases: We have successfully encouraged a number of Government agencies, as well as private businesses and individuals to undertake green purchasing on a long-term basis. This will continue to be a key area of our focus going forward. On behalf of GreenTech Malaysia, I would like to extend our gratitude to the Malaysian Government as well as the team at KeTTHA for their confidence and support throughout the year. On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our members and all our stakeholders, from the regulators, authorities, and industry to family and friends, for the dynamic support system that we have enjoyed. My personal appreciation to my fellow Directors for their insights, inspiring ideas and candid input in our discussions. I would like to thank Datuk Hajah Nor’ Aini binti Abdul Wahab, who resigned in October 2014, for her longstanding contribution to Malaysia’s green technology sector and her invaluable service to the Board. I extend a warm welcome to Datuk Harjeet Singh a/l Hardev Singh, the new Deputy Secretary General (Green Technology and Water) at KeTTHA, who will be officially joining the Board in 2015; we are honoured to have him on the Board and look forward to working with him. I would also like to congratulate the management and staff of GreenTech Malaysia for their great team spirit, and the dedication, perseverance and enthusiasm they have shown in turning every challenge into a stepping stone for progress. The Board would like to express its appreciation of their hard work and dedication. Finally, to all our members, as the world turns a corner towards sustainable living, we at GreenTech Malaysia are honoured and humbled in equal parts to be enabling the next phase of ‘green’ here in Malaysia. I urge you to continue to give us your support on this journey, not just leaving a mark but creating a sustainable legacy together. dato’ paduka professor (dr.) ir. hj. keizrul bin abdullah @ lim teik keat chairman 33 ceo’s operational review enabling green through strategic planning & partnerships Dear Stakeholders, 2014 has been an exciting year for both GreenTech Malaysia and the industry as a whole. Having realigned our efforts under our four key flagships, namely, Green Malaysia Plan, Green Procurement, Electric Mobility and Sustainable Living, we made significant progress in our various initiatives over the year, even as new concepts and ideas were shaped into actionable plans with clear end goals. During the year under review, GreenTech Malaysia also forged several strategic partnerships with key industry players to enable the growth of the green sector and augment our efforts in mitigating the environmental impact associated with achieving Malaysia’s developed nation status by 2020. A closer examination of our Flagships’ progress clearly demonstrates the wide-ranging impact our initiatives have achieved. flagship projects: key highlights green malaysia plan green technology master plan (gtmp) In our efforts to drive the nation’s green growth, GreenTech Malaysia took the lead in developing the Green Technology Master Plan – a comprehensive guide towards achieving the objectives as set out in the National Green Technology Policy 2009, focused on five key sectors, namely, Energy, Transport, Building, Waste Management, and Water Management. During the year under review, GreenTech Malaysia organised several stakeholder engagement sessions to gather crucial feedback from a broad range of stakeholders to ensure that the GTMP is reflective of the nation’s aspirations. We are pleased to report that the GTMP’s framework is set to be tabled at the Green Technology and Climate Change Council, chaired by the Prime Minister, Y.A.B. Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Tun Haji Abdul Razak in early 2015. green technology financing scheme (gtfs) The GTFS, in partnership with Credit Guarantee Corporation and 23 participating financial institutions, continues to play a vital role in the creation of innovative green ventures. In 2014, GTFS funded 45 projects amounting to RM438.4 million, thereby bringing the total number of projects funded under the Scheme since 2010 to 165. This has expanded the green economy by over RM2 billion, creating 2,491 green jobs and avoiding close to 2.4 million tonnes of carbon emissions equivalent that would have otherwise been generated. Of the RM2 billion disbursed under the GTFS, RM825.7 million took the form of Islamic financing, which clearly signifies the important role that Islamic banking can play in the future growth of the green economy. 34 “ it is increasingly apparent that the spirit of the national green agenda is clearly permeating across all generations of malaysians. greentech malaysia is proud of the significant progress achieved in enabling green through strategic planning and partnerships backed by the strong support from the government and various stakeholders. ” green procurement green practices and green technology application blueprint With regards to Green Procurement, I am pleased to note that since the launch of the Green Practices and Green Technology Application Blueprint in January, developed in partnership with Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM), the police force has demonstrated unwavering commitment in putting plans into action, delivering commendable results throughout 2014. Apart from committing to sustainable procurement practices, PDRM has also introduced hybrid cars and electric scooters into its patrol fleet, which will save the police force a total of RM4,605 per hybrid car and RM657 per electric scooter on fuel cost, and a carbon reduction of 4.113 tCO2eq and 0.823 tCO2eq respectively per annum. We are also working hand-in-hand with PDRM to transform selected police stations into green buildings, an initiative which could potentially save between 10% and 30% in energy consumption per building. Once these projects have gained traction, we anticipate that they will result in immediate carbon reduction as well as provide an exemplary showcase that could help shape mindsets for the future development of green buildings and procurement practices. electric mobility electric mobility blueprint In the area of transportation, Malaysia has set an ambitious target of deploying 2,000 electric buses, 100,000 electric cars, 100,000 electric scooters and motorcycles on Malaysian roads as well as 125,000 public-access charging stations to be installed by 2020. In preparing Malaysia to meet these targets, GreenTech Malaysia was tasked with developing the Electric Mobility Blueprint (EMB) to provide a strategic roadmap and action plans to guide policy-makers, industry members and relevant stakeholders towards achieving these targets and creating a sustainable national transportation model. Provisional versions of the EMB have been circulated to relevant stakeholders for their input and consultation. A consolidated version is set to be tabled at the Green Technology and Climate Change Council in Q1 2015 for approval. strategic partnerships Alongside the EMB, GreenTech Malaysia established key partnerships that are critical to driving the growth of the electric mobility market in Malaysia. Our collaborations with AMDAC (M) Sdn. Bhd., CMS Consortium Sdn. Bhd., Eclimo Sdn. Bhd. and First Energy Networks Sdn. Bhd. are timely as they enable GreenTech Malaysia to further accelerate the holistic adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) for public transportation and private ownership, as well as simultaneously creating the momentum for the development of an EV ecosystem and EV economy. 35 36 Ultimately, the goal is to position Malaysia as a thriving market for electric mobility, which in turn will encourage inward investment into the country within the field, resulting in this sector becoming a key economic driver for the country. sustainable living low carbon cities framework & assessment system In March, GreenTech Malaysia welcomed Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) as our latest partner in the implementation of low carbon cities, thus extending our Sustainable Living initiatives from the central to the southern region. This strategic partnership will ensure sustainable practises are employed by IRDA in developments taking place within Iskandar Malaysia. We are indeed excited about this new alliance and look forward to formulating more low carbon strategies following the completion of the initial baseline study by 2015. 5th international greentech & eco products exhibition and conference malaysia I am extremely pleased to report that this year’s International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia (IGEM), held between 15th and 19th October, lived up to its theme, “Creating Green Wealth”, surpassing the previous years’ numbers, generating close to RM2 billion in green business leads. IGEM 2014 recorded participation from 357 exhibitors taking up some 616 exhibition booths from across 20 countries, and attracted over 49,000 visitors from around the world. These statistics clearly demonstrate the pivotal role IGEM continues to play as the region’s largest green technology platform, while contributing to the growth of the country’s green economy. outlook for 2015 While our 2014 initiatives have played an important role in driving Malaysia’s green sector forward, GreenTech Malaysia shall continue to actively engage all stakeholders in the development of actionable roadmaps, seed the market with catalytic projects and enable new green ventures. GreenTech Malaysia foresees that the green sector will continue to offer great potential for the country’s socio-economic growth. Research conducted in the development of the GTMP shows that Malaysia’s green technology sector has the potential to contribute up to RM70 billion to the country’s Gross Domestic Product by 2020. Importantly, the research also offers the opportunity for developing the national economy in a sustainable manner through the deployment of climate mitigation strategies and actions. These positive interventions are expected to reduce national carbon emissions from the ‘business as usual’ scenario of anticipated generation of 390.1 MtCO2eq by 2020 rising up to 570 MtCO2eq in 2030, to 196.5 MtCO2eq by 2020 and 248 MtCO2eq by 2030. The GTMP’s proposed targets will see the nation surpass the target set in 2009 by the Prime Minister Y.A.B Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Tun Haji Abdul Razak of achieving a 40% reduction in carbon emissions intensity of GDP by 2020, based on 2005 levels. Moving forward, accelerating the adoption of green technology will remain a priority for the country as Malaysia works towards establishing itself as a Green Community by 2030. With strong commitment from the Government, industry stakeholders and GreenTech Malaysia’s team, and the promising progress of our Flagship initiatives, GreenTech Malaysia is optimistic that the outlook for the green sector remains bright and that it will grow rapidly to become one of the key contributors to Malaysia’s socio-economic growth. ir. ahmad hadri haris chief executive officer 37 greentech ambassador’s message enabling green on an individual level Being a brand ambassador is an immense privilege and a huge responsibility. Whenever I am approached to endorse an organisation or a product or a cause, I always ask myself these three questions: Does it feel authentic? Do I share its core values? Will I be able to make a positive impact for the company/product/ cause? It has to be an unequivocal yes to all three questions in my heart and mind before I can accept being an ambassador. When GreenTech Malaysia nominated me as GreenTech Ambassador, I was honoured, delighted and overwhelmed all at once. Given my longstanding passion for the environment, I felt this opportunity resonated perfectly with me. My doting father, Gottfried Roelcke, an avid environmentalist in his own right, shaped and nurtured me on my green journey right from my toddler years. We lived a vibrant outdoor lifestyle which helped me appreciate and respect the benevolence of nature. As a result, very early in life I became actively involved in nature protection campaigns, key among these being my longstanding collaboration with the Malaysian Nature Society and the World Wildlife Fund. Subsequently, I also rolled out my own campaign, “MayaLovesNature”, which involved working with 22,000 students from 14 different primary schools across Malaysia, targeting awareness on the excessive use and wastage of plastic bags. Since 2012, I have also been actively involved as the ambassador of the Government’s new recycling initiative and spokesperson for the Geological Institute of Malaysia. In my new role working with the country’s catalyst for green technology, I see myself not merely as a weekend eco-warrior but as a fulltime ambassador to help drive the nation’s green agenda. While the Malaysian Government, GreenTech Malaysia and leading corporations have been proactive in planning, developing and implementing sustainability programmes over the years, there remains much scope for individuals to play their role as well. To me, “Enabling Green” translates to popularising the adoption of green technology not just at a corporate or organisational level, but at a more fundamental level – the individual. If we are able to convey the benefits of going green and reach out to individuals across the country, slowly but surely we will see more and more people move towards sustainable green practices. At the end of the day, it all rests on the shoulders of individuals – be they in ministries, corporations, NGOs or the man on the street, to make smarter and greener choices in their daily lives. In my very first year as GreenTech Ambassador, I have had the opportunity to work closely on some of the company’s on-the-ground events, including the region’s largest exhibition and conference on green technology – IGEM 2014. Despite my many years working on environmental projects, IGEM was an eyeopening experience, as I mingled with international delegates, ministry officials and industry pioneers who graciously shared their thoughts on and adventures in driving the green revolution. I came out better informed and truly inspired. I was also thrilled to attend the very first Formula E in Putrajaya, which clearly demonstrated that electric cars are robust and swift enough to withstand the gruelling demands of an international racing circuit. With 38 “ during a pivotal period in time when green technologies are revolutionising almost every industry and reshaping the way we live, i am honoured to have been given this opportunity to partner with greentech malaysia - the organisation that is at the forefront of driving malaysia’s green agenda. as the greentech ambassador, my aim is to inspire people to adopt green products and services, towards a sustainable future. ” Formula E making the rounds around the globe at 10 different locations, the popularity of electric cars is bound to gain traction. With all the electric buzz going around, I look forward in the year ahead to playing a proactive role in driving the electric vehicle revolution here in Malaysia. I am eager to experience the joys of charging up my car at home or being able to do so conveniently at shopping malls and other public spaces, as an appealing alternative to petrol stations. As more of us opt for electric vehicles, be these cars or scooters for private use or buses in public transportation, we will not only be making smart choices but sustainable ones as well. To popularise green choices in our day-to-day lives, we have to make green alternatives widely available and easily accessible. Towards this end, I am very keen to be involved in GreenTech Malaysia’s Green Procurement initiative. Under this key flagship, plans are currently underway to revamp the MyHIJAU Directory to serve as a central information repository of green products and services. This will be an important tool for corporations and individuals alike to explore and research certified green products. Once the comprehensive MyHIJAU Directory is unveiled, I am sure it will become increasingly easy for Government, private and public corporations, as well as you and me, to check out the myriad of green options available for our use at work and in our homes. There are ample opportunities for us to make a positive impact towards a collective sustainable future. With my firm commitment to do my part as GreenTech Ambassador, I urge you to be ambassadors in your own right, talking about green, making green choices and encouraging your family and friends to do the same. I urge you, dear stakeholder, to join me in making Malaysia a leading force in the dynamic field of green technology. Every step we take towards making green choices is a step towards a sustainable future for us and for the generations to come. Enabling choices, enabling green. maya karin greentech ambassador About Maya Karin: German-born Maya Karin is popularly recognised within the region as a leading Malaysian film actress, TV host and singer.

Key initiatives under this Flagship include the Green Technology Master Plan and Green Technology Financing Scheme. green technology master plan (gtmp) In 2014, GreenTech Malaysia undertook the development of the GTMP, which will serve as a comprehensive document to guide the country to achieving its COP15 pledge of a 40% reduction in carbon emissions intensity of GDP by 2020, based on 2005 levels, and low carbon status by 2030. In gathering feedback from the various stakeholders, GreenTech Malaysia presented a Sneak Preview of the GTMP’s framework on 29th August to an audience of 95 participants, with representatives from various sectors including the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water, Economic Planning Unit, Sustainable Energy Development Authority, National Water Services Commission, Maybank Investment Bank Berhad, Waste Management Association of Malaysia, Construction Industrial Development Board and Malaysian Palm Oil Board. Salient points derived from the Sneak Preview were incorporated into the Master Plan. Subsequently, between 22nd and 25th September, GreenTech Malaysia initiated a follow-up engagement session with 55 stakeholders, which was more focused and relevant to individual sectors, to seek further consultation before finalising the framework. The framework of the Green Technology Master Plan is scheduled to be tabled at the Green Technology and Climate Change Council in the first quarter of 2015. The document is targeted to be launched in the third quarter of 2015. green technology financing scheme (gtfs) GreenTech Malaysia continued to facilitate the disbursement of the GTFS to further accelerate the growth of Malaysia’s green economy. Initiated in 2010, the Scheme has served to bridge a financing gap and encourage green ventures, particularly for new business models and start-ups that may not be able to fulfil the conventional requirements of commercial banks. Under the GTFS, applicants are offered a rebate of 2% per annum on interest or profit rates charged by financial institutions, while also providing a Government guarantee of 60% for the financed amount. In 2014, GTFS financed a total of 45 projects, raising RM438.4 million from Malaysian financial institutions for green ventures. Out of the total RM3.5 billion allocated by the Government for GTFS, the Scheme has thus far approved financing of RM2.02 billion for 165 green projects since its inception. These projects have successfully created 2,491 green jobs and avoided 2.39 MtCO2eq, contributing positively to Malaysia’s socio-economic growth while mitigating its impact on the environment. 42 as of 31st december 2014 total gtfs fund allocated to the scheme (rm) 3,500,000,000.00 total financing (rm) 2,020,365,825.00 balance of gtfs fund (rm) 1,479,634,175.00 total number of projects financed 165 total number of green jobs created from financed projects total amount of co2 avoided from financed projects (tco2eq/year) 2,491 2,385,101.91 breakdown by year [ 2010 - 2014 ] number of projects certified amount of gt certified (rm ‘million) number of projects financed amount of financing (rm ‘million) With Malaysia being a key international Islamic finance hub, the GTFS continued to receive growing support in the form of Islamic financing, which accounts for RM825.7 million or about 41% of the total funds disbursed under the financing scheme. This represented a marked increase from over RM260 million in 2013 and signalled a growing confidence in the viability of green businesses among Islamic financial institutions. growth of islamic financing islamic financing non-islamic financing exploring new green financing options Recognising the important role financing plays in further developing the green technology sector, GreenTech Malaysia participated in a series of forums and discussions to gather insights into expanding Malaysia’s green financing initiatives. 43 On 12th and 13th June, GreenTech Malaysia participated in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Green Investment Financing Forum organised in Paris, which aimed to promote dialogue and enhance understanding among countries and institutions interested in establishing green investment banks. Further exploratory discussions on the concept of green investment banking were held between 27th and 31st October in London, which is widely known as an industry leader in green investment formulation and green financing programmes. UK Green Investment Bank, which was established in 2012, had by end of 2014 funded over 44 green infrastructure projects, contributing £2 billion (RM11 billion) to the UK’s green economy. The trip, which was led by Y. Bhg. Datuk Harjeet Singh, the Deputy Secretary General (Green Technology and Water), KeTTHA, also saw the participation of Credit Guarantee Corporation and the EU–Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry. During the study mission, the group organised several meetings with key policy-makers and drivers of green finance in the UK, including leaders and representatives from the Science, Innovation and Climate Department under Britain’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office, The Carbon Trust Fund, UK Green Investment Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Transport for London, Self-Energy Ltd., London Energy Efficiency Fund and Bloomberg New Energy Finance. GreenTech Malaysia also participated in the International Green Bank Summit held between 17th and 18th November in New York City. This summit was an important platform gathering representatives from existing green banks and key industry players from around the world to discuss issues and challenges surrounding green financing as well as to share best practices. Overall, these discussions provided very valuable insights into the establishment of effective green financing programmes, in line with GreenTech Malaysia’s objective to further propel Malaysia’s green economy. moving forward Upon the launch of the GTMP, GreenTech Malaysia will prioritise the action plans identified for enabling future developments within the five key sectors to incorporate carbon mitigation measures. GreenTech Malaysia will oversee the actualisation of the GTMP in order for Malaysia to achieve its targets by 2020. GreenTech Malaysia will also continue to identify, nurture and fund green ventures that will contribute significantly to Malaysia’s green economy and environment via GTFS. While it continues to facilitate the ongoing GTFS, GreenTech Malaysia will explore other viable green financing vehicles to further spur the growth of Malaysian green businesses. 44 flagship 2: green procurement The Green Procurement Flagship aims to spur the growth of the green market by showcasing environmentallyfriendly options and encouraging sustainable purchasing. Key initiatives underlining this Flagship include MyHIJAU Mark and MyHIJAU Directory, the MyHIJAU SME & Entrepreneur Development Programme and Government Green Procurement, which are collectively known as the MyHIJAU Programme. The MyHIJAU Programme is aimed at promoting the sourcing and purchasing of green products and services, catalysing the growth of Malaysia’s green economy. myhijau mark and myhijau directory MyHIJAU Mark is an official label that recognises certified green products and services verified by GreenTech Malaysia to meet local and international environmental standards. MyHIJAU-certified products and service providers are registered and listed in MyHIJAU Directory, providing buyers and consumers with a comprehensive guide and access to a wide range of sustainable options. In developing MyHIJAU Mark, and considering the proposed green technology tax incentives under Budget 2014, GreenTech Malaysia held regular stakeholder engagement sessions which included the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water, Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority. To promote a greater understanding of green purchasing and prompt a ‘call to action’, GreenTech Malaysia co-hosted the inaugural International Conference on Green Procurement and Eco-Labelling themed “Driving the Green Economy” on 2nd December. The Conference, organised in collaboration with Green Purchasing Network Malaysia, drew 187 participants including international and local experts, and aimed to provide insights on the importance of green procurement in driving the global economy as well as effective ways to address challenges related to the implementation of green procurement in Malaysia. myhijau sme & entrepreneur development programme The MyHIJAU SME & Entrepreneur Development Programme aims to encourage the growth of local SMEs, including Bumiputera and women-led businesses, to adopt green practices and produce and provide local green products and services. This initiative equips participants with entrepreneurship and strategic management skills to enhance companies’ management of their existing and upcoming green ventures. SMEs enrolled under this project will go through a capacity-building, training and coaching programme to enable them to obtain green label verification for their products and services. At the end of the programme, it is envisaged that the participating SMEs will successfully incorporate best green practices and applications in their operations. With this, they will be well-equipped to register their products with MyHIJAU Mark and be listed in MyHIJAU Directory. GreenTech Malaysia organised a series of briefings on the MyHIJAU SME & Entrepreneur Development Programme in Putrajaya, Johor, Melaka, Penang, Terengganu, Sabah and Sarawak, reaching out to 218 participants. A series of training sessions was also organised for 57 SMEs on Green Management & Entrepreneurship, Green Productivity (Material Cost Saving) and ISO 9001 Quality Management System (under the National Standards Compliance Programme). GreenTech Malaysia also conducted a Coaching & Monitoring session on Green Productivity (Material Cost Saving) for ten companies. government green procurement The Government Green Procurement (GGP) initiative aims to encourage the adoption of sustainable procurement through a lead-by-example approach, showcasing success stories on the benefits of green purchasing. 45 As a case in point, on 9th January, GreenTech Malaysia in partnership with the Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM), launched the Green Practices and Green Technology Application Blueprint, aimed at providing the police force a roadmap for reducing the carbon footprint resulting from its operations. One of the key initiatives included switching to sustainable procurement, which positioned PDRM as the champion of GGP, setting a precedent for corporations and individuals to follow. Further to this, PDRM invested in eco-friendly products including hybrid cars and electric scooters as part of its patrol fleet in line with its aim of switching 50% of its procurement to eco-friendly purchases by 2020. As of end 2014, PDRM has successfully increased its green purchasing to 14% of overall purchases. Going beyond daily operational practices, GreenTech Malaysia also worked with PDRM to identify selected police stations to be transformed into green buildings, focusing on the utilisation of green technology and eco-friendly building materials to further reduce its carbon footprint. Four energy audits were conducted, namely, • Taman Tun Dr Ismail Police Station, completed in January • IPD Serdang, completed in September • IPK Selangor, completed in December • Menara 2 Bukit Aman PDRM Headquarters, scheduled for completion in January 2015. These five-week energy audits revealed a huge potential for reducing energy consumption at all four stations. Among the proposed energy saving measures were the installation of energy saving bulbs and equipment, the implementation of sustainable energy management and the maintenance of air-conditioning systems. All these efforts paid off for PDRM with the organisation saving a remarkable RM30 million in its very first year of going green. To support the GGP initiative, GreenTech Malaysia provided technical support, training and assistance to the Government through the following: 1. Developing a Life Cycle Costing (LCC) training module for procurers 2. Conducting LCC training for Government procurers in Lexis, Port Dickson 3. Conducting a study on Comparative Market Price Analysis for Green and Non-green Products and Services 4. Providing technical consultation for pilot implementers such as the Ministry of Energy, Green 46 Technology and Water (KeTTHA), Ministry of Education (MOE), Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN), Ministry of Health (MOH) and Economic Planning Unit (EPU) 5. Organising GGP Awareness Training and providing trainers for the session 6. Speaking at the GGP awareness programme directed at other Ministries, agencies and State Governments such as Iskandar Regional Development Authority, Melaka State Government and Kementerian Wilayah Persekutuan. Other exciting activities related to GGP in 2014 included: • GGP Workshop on Tendering Specifications at GreenTech Malaysia on 20th and 21st March, organised to guide Government procurers on their tender preparations and technical product specifications to include to meet the green criteria. • Go Green PDRM at Johor Bahru on 27th May • Green Explorace (Putrajaya – GreenTech Malaysia) on 15th June • Training for pilot implementers at GreenTech Malaysia on 17th June • MyHIJAU Youth Camp between 22nd and 24th August • GGP Briefing for Melaka State Government on 18th September • PDRM Showcase at IGEM 2014 between 16th and 19th October • GGP Seminar for PDRM at Shangri La Putrajaya on 27th November moving forward GreenTech Malaysia will continue to prioritise the rollout of the MyHIJAU Programme, which will benefit manufacturers, buyers and consumers while encouraging greater demand and supply in the green market in the country. GreenTech Malaysia will also step up efforts to help PDRM realise their green vision. By 2015, the partnership aims to achieve 10% savings in energy consumption and 5% reduction in fuel consumption throughout PDRM’s operations, as well as to increase its green procurement by a further 15%. Plans are also underway to build an Eco Data Centre at PDRM’s headquarters located in Bukit Aman and to guide the police force towards achieving green certification for two of its buildings. GreenTech Malaysia will explore further collaborations with organisations that are committed to reducing their carbon footprint by augmenting their green procurement portfolio. 47 flagship 3: electric mobility GreenTech Malaysia’s Electric Mobility Flagship is driving a significant shift in Malaysia’s transportation model, moving it from being wholly fossil fuel-dependent to adopting an alternative that is cleaner and more sustainable. This is crucial as the transportation sector is the second highest contributor to CO2 emissions, responsible for 22% of total emissions. At the current rate, Malaysia’s CO2 emissions from the road transportation sector are projected to increase by 213% to 127 MtCO2eq in 2030 from 61.6 MtCO2eq in 2013. To mitigate this, Malaysia aims to deploy 100,000 electric cars, 100,000 electric scooters and motorcycles, 2,000 electric buses and 125,000 public-access electric vehicle (EV) charging stations by 2020. With this in mind, several key initiatives were undertaken through 2014 that were focused on enabling Malaysia to achieve its goals and position itself as a thriving electric mobility marketplace. roadmap and action plans The cornerstone of this Flagship is the development of the national Electric Mobility Blueprint, which aims to fast-track Malaysia’s transformation by providing a framework for the establishment of an EV sector, a holistic EV ecosystem and a thriving EV economy. In developing the Blueprint, significant efforts were placed in comprehensively reviewing the nation’s current transportation resources, requirements and environmental impact. In addition to this, substantial research was also conducted to review successful EV adoption strategies that have been rolled out internationally, including those carried out in Amsterdam, Los Angeles, and Norway, which are recognised worldwide as successful models of electric mobility. GreenTech Malaysia also facilitated several stakeholder engagement sessions which were critical in the drafting of the Electric Mobility Blueprint as these provided the ideal opportunity to collate feedback and ideas from key industry drivers. An example of these engagements was the 8th August symposium which gathered key industry representatives including the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA), Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI), Performance Management and Delivery Unit (PEMANDU), the EUMalaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and First Energy Networks Sdn. Bhd. (FEN), along with leading automotive manufacturers. Gathering input from these consultations, strategic action plans were formulated for three integrated key focus areas: evs for public transport and private ownership ev ecosystem ev economy To gain a broader perspective on the rollout of EVs, GreenTech Malaysia undertook a study mission to Amsterdam between 2nd and 9th November. The research team gained invaluable insights during one-on-one conversations with Dutch authorities on effective EV adoption methods, as well as a detailed understanding of the story behind the success of The New Motion, currently the largest provider of EV charging stations in Europe, with over 10,000 intelligent charge points. The Electric Mobility Blueprint is set to be presented to the Green Technology and Climate Change Council in the first quarter of 2015 for approval, and will be launched officially later in the year. 48 strategic partnerships Recognising that strategic partnerships are vital to enabling important facilities, capabilities and expertise, GreenTech Malaysia partnered with key EV players to expedite the expansion of Electric Mobility in Malaysia. Key partnerships include: cms consortium sdn. bhd. malaysia automotive institute amdac (m) sdn. bhd. An MoU was signed on 16th October to deploy a fleet of electric buses for public transportation. first energy networks sdn. bhd. A tri-partite collaboration for the rollout of Malaysia’s first electric car sharing programme, Cohesive Mobility Solution (COMOS), was officially announced on 6th May. eclimo sdn. bhd. An MoU was signed on 17th October for the use of electric scooters for corporate and private ownership. An MoU was signed on 17th October to deploy a network of charging stations nationwide. These partnerships will have a far-reaching impact on the public and private EV transportation sector, as well as the expansion of the EV ecosystem, particularly in terms of expanding the nation’s EV charging station network. evs for public transport and private ownership An important step in transforming Malaysia into an EV marketplace is to showcase the feasibility of EVs to the general public, thereby building familiarity and confidence. A visible initiative taken towards enabling the growth of EVs in public transportation was the establishment of the Sustainable Mobility Fund by the Council of Green Technology and Climate Change on 9th January. The fund allocated RM70 million to catalyse the deployment of electric buses for public transport in Malaysia by providing soft loans for the procurement of electric buses, with GreenTech Malaysia serving as the technical evaluator and monitoring agency for the fund. 49 Another key initiative in encouraging public use of EVs was the introduction of the COMOS car-sharing programme in May. The primary objective of COMOS is to provide smart connectivity and mobility solutions that promote a sustainable green environment, lowering CO2 emissions and decreasing fossil-fuel consumption whilst reducing traffic congestion. Another development to note in the journey towards increasing EV adoption was the purchase of 33 units of Eclimo electric scooters by Polis Diraja Malaysia for their Amanita Patrol Unit. This, along with the purchase of a further 250 units by KFC, now brings the total number of electric scooters in the country to 447. Environmentally, these 447 electric scooters are projected to contribute cumulatively to a carbon reduction of 367.88 tCO2 annually, while offering savings on fuel and maintenance cost as follows: impact savings per unit / year total savings (447 units) / year maintenance cost rm600 rm268, 200 fuel cost rm657 rm293, 679 Meanwhile, signalling a growing market, electric car sales saw an increase this year, bringing the total number of electric cars on Malaysian roads to 73 from a range of eight different models, including the Proton EV and REEV, Nissan LEAF, Misubishi i-Miev and PHEV, Renault Zoe, Fluence and Twizy. electric cars 6 26 14 27 2011 2012 2013 2014 ev ecosystem These commendable initiatives in EVs for public transport and private ownership were complemented by a strong push to develop Malaysia’s EV ecosystem, largely by expanding the country’s EV charging infrastructure. On this front, GreenTech Malaysia partnered with FEN, who played a pivotal role in bringing the total number of EV charging stations installed across the country to 38. These stations are located at hightraffic public places such as shopping malls, municipal buildings and public car parks. Through this strategic partnership, together with the support of the Government via the provision of an RM3 million fund from Akaun Amanah Industri Bekalan Elektrik (AAIBE), the number of EV charging stations is set to climb to 300 by 2016. ev economy The global rise in demand for EVs provides tremendous opportunities for sales, manufacturing, systems and service industries in Malaysia. GreenTech Malaysia will be working closely together with the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Malaysian Investment Development Authority and MAI to capitalise on these opportunities and penetrate the global EV supply chain. 50 2014 2015 - 2019 2020 beyond 2020 growth of ev market capitalise on local ev market & ev ecosystem manufacturing electric scooters & motorcycles oem engagements with global ev companies to penetrate global ev supply chain engagements with global oems to make malaysia a centre for oem manufacture global electric mobilty marketplace ev economy introductory stage of importing evs growth of local electric car & component industry market readiness & acceptance growth of electric scooter & electric motorcycle industry r&d in local ev and ev component, infrastructure & backend manufacture It is estimated that the EV industry will contribute RM5 billion in gross national income and generate approximately RM328 million in foreign direct investment and domestic direct investment, while creating over 14,000 job opportunities by 2020. on-the-ground awareness Promoting public familiarity and confidence in EVs, GreenTech Malaysia partnered with AMDAC, BYD and the Perlis State Government to deploy an electric bus that provided complimentary shuttle services to ferry audiences to and from Sukan Malaysia (SUKMA) stadiums throughout the games, from 26th May to 4th June. This initiative not only helped familiarise a significant number of people to the capabilities of EVs but also recorded savings of RM1,160.90 on fuel cost and reduced carbon emissions by 0.87 tCO2 from levels that would have been generated using a conventional bus during the 10-day service. GreenTech Malaysia also supported the inaugural FIA Formula E Championship in Malaysia which took place on 22nd November by deploying a fleet of electric scooters to shuttle drivers and working crew around the Putrajaya venue. The first staging of the Formula E Championship in Malaysia was an important platform to generate public interest on the feasibility and versatility of EVs, and GreenTech Ambassador Maya Karin was present to lend support for the inaugural race. 51 To further spread awareness of EVs, GreenTech Malaysia invited journalists for a test-drive session on 5th December, offering a range of EVs including the Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi i-Miev, Renault Zoe and Renault Twizy, as well as the Eclimo scooter, for a first-hand experience. The session drew positive and enthusiastic responses from the members of the media. moving forward The prospects for and potential of EVs both in terms of environmental sustainability as well as economic growth far outweigh any foreseeable challenges. With global excitement around EVs at an all-time high, it is imperative that Malaysia keeps pace with developments to gain a foothold in the global EV market and ensure a greener, cleaner Malaysia. We are confident that the efforts that are already in place, and the many more which will be implemented in the coming years, will place our nation in a strong position to overcome any challenges, and take us one step closer to achieving our 2020 electric mobility targets. Specifically, in the coming year, GreenTech Malaysia will prioritise the publication of the Electric Mobility Blueprint and will be engaging regularly with our EV stakeholders to implement the action plans outlined in the Blueprint. GreenTech Malaysia will also continue to forge critical strategic partnerships to generate greater public awareness of electric mobility and EVs and grow the familiarity and confidence that will form the building blocks of the long-term, large-scale adoption of EVs nationwide. 52 flagship 4: sustainable living Under the Sustainable Living Flagship, GreenTech Malaysia is responsible for the promotion of green products and services, enabling Malaysians to incorporate sustainable solutions in homes, workplaces and communities in line with Malaysia’s aim of becoming a green nation by 2030. Key initiatives under this Flagship include the Low Carbon Cities Framework and Assessment System and the annual International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia. low carbon cities framework and assessment system (LCCF) The LCCF national framework, which was jointly drawn up by KeTTHA and GreenTech Malaysia, provides the necessary tools to assist local authorities and developers to implement low carbon strategies in a systematic and impactful manner. The programmes are envisaged to take up to two years in an ideal scenario, and are implemented in a phased approach. The first phase is focused on identifying and setting criteria for the development of a baseline study. The second phase is focused on producing a baseline study report to identify strategies and action plans for implementing low carbon strategies. The third phase is focused on implementing, tracking and assessing the effectiveness of these activities. This process will be repeated until the targeted carbon emissions level is achieved. In 2014, GreenTech Malaysia extended its LCCF initiative to the Southern region, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) to incorporate sustainable development solutions within the burgeoning Iskandar region in Johor. In addition to IRDA, GreenTech Malaysia continues to work with Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya (MPSJ), Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya (MBPJ) and Majlis Perbandaran Hang Tuah Jaya (MPHTJ), currently focusing on identifying areas for the implementation of LCCF and establishing baseline carbon emissions reports which are targeted to be completed by 2015. MBPJ was also the first local council to promote electric mobility through the introduction of one of the country’s first EV charging stations at its headquarters located on Jalan Yong Shook Lin, which is accessible 24 hours daily and is free of charge. During the course of the year, MBPJ also offered free parking incentives for owners of hybrid vehicles for 2014. 53 Other initiatives carried out with LCCF partners in 2014 included: lccf advanced training from 25th to 27th march at bangi-putrajaya hotel lccf advanced training from 15th to 17th april at holiday villa, subang lccf checklist workshop from 30th september to 1st october at thistle hotel, port dickson awareness module for energy and water management training on 27th november at grand continental, kuala terengganu awareness module for energy and water management training on 8th december at greentech malaysia’s office awareness module for energy and water management training on 17th december at thistle, johor bahru technical training on energy and water management on 22nd and 23rd december at bangiputrajaya hotel lccf checklist stakeholders workshop on 22nd december at mpsj’s office During the year under review, GreenTech Malaysia further enhanced the LCCF initiative by providing a simplified version of the framework, the LCCF Checklist, to be used as a preliminary assessment tool to evaluate whether local councils are ready to embark on the full LCCF framework. The document was presented to KeTTHA on 19th December for feedback. GreenTech Malaysia is also working on the development of the LCCF Track system to facilitate the monitoring of the progress of LCCF initiatives.

However, with the promise of delivering our COP15 pledge fast approaching, business-as-usual will no longer be an option. Keeping a sharp focus on this end goal and stringent monitoring of interim deliverables will be the needs of the hour. ” — Dr. Theng Lee Chong — 70 a glimpse into 2015 greentech malaysia membership 71 a glimpse into 2015 delivering results In 2014, as an enterprising enabler of the green technology sector, GreenTech Malaysia empowered stakeholders, created numerous opportunities and drove the dynamic growth of the sector. Having established a solid foundation and enjoyed a successful 2014, the company is poised to set new benchmarks and push the boundaries of green possibilities in the years ahead. In the immediate future, GreenTech Malaysia has lined up strategic programmes in 2015, which will be further developed and implemented once the Green Technology Master Plan and Electric Mobility Blueprint frameworks have been approved by the National Green Technology and Climate Change Council. These frameworks are envisioned to strategically guide regulators, industry and other relevant stakeholders towards contributing effectively to the vision of a green Malaysia. Recognising the crucial role of financing in funding new green ventures, GreenTech Malaysia will continue to facilitate the Green Technology Financing Scheme (GTFS), targeting to disburse the remaining RM1.5 billion allocated in the year ahead. With this, it is anticipated that overall, GTFS would have benefited a total of around 225 green projects, creating approximately 3,000 green jobs and averting close to 2.8 MtCO2eq by the end of 2015. To invigorate the green market, GreenTech Malaysia will also intensify Green Procurement with the implementation of the MyHIJAU programme. We are optimistic that this structured programme will benefit both producers and suppliers (supply) and users (demand), encouraging the adoption of environmentallyfriendly practices and catalysing the growth of Malaysia’s green economy. A visible indicator of green growth in Malaysia will be the anticipated increased deployment of EVs on our roads come 2015, commencing with the rollout of 15 electric buses by Prasarana Malaysia to service the BRT line within the Sunway and USJ areas. Plans are also underway to bring in 120 Tesla Model S EVs to be used by the Government and its agencies via a private-public partnership, to showcase Malaysia’s leadership in and commitment to shifting to electric mobility. To support the anticipated growth of EVs in Malaysia, GreenTech Malaysia is also working closely with its partners to deploy a total of 300 charging stations nationwide by 2016. With Sustainable Living continuing to be a priority, GreenTech Malaysia has plans in place to expand the implementation of the Low Carbon Cities Framework and Assessment System (LCCF) across all 149 local municipalities by 2020. Key initiatives include partnering with the Malaysian Institute of Planners in the first quarter of 2015, working with their nationwide network to extend knowledge on LCCF to professional planners associated with federal and state Governments, local authorities, universities, developers and various NGOs. On an international level, GreenTech Malaysia will continue to co-organise the International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia (IGEM) in 2015, led by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water. The management of IGEM 2015 will be undertaken by a new partner, Malaysian Exhibition Services, to redefine the exhibition and conference, and ensure that it remains the region’s most dynamic environmental and green technology showcase. As Malaysia assumes the Chair of ASEAN in 2015, IGEM will be an opportune platform to showcase the country’s leadership in and commitment to green technology and sustainability. While we step up our Flagship initiatives, it is timely for GreenTech Malaysia to recognise corporations and individuals who have played an instrumental role in our nation’s green journey. With this in mind, GreenTech 72 Malaysia will, for the first time, honour Malaysia’s Top 30 Green Catalysts 2014, at the GreenTech Awards in the early part of the year. With all these programmes lined-up ahead, GreenTech Malaysia looks forward to 2015 with enthusiasm, pledging an ongoing commitment to deliver impactful results, and to position Malaysia as a formidable player in green technology and sustainability. 73 greentech malaysia membership corporate members honorary members Petroliam Nasional Berhad Shell Malaysia Limited Sabah Electricity Sdn.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 4.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the directors and management and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and judgements that affect the application of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures, and have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed below:(a) Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the property, plant and equipment are based on commercial factors which could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors’ actions in response to the market conditions. The Company anticipates that the residual values of its property, plant and equipment will be insignificant. As a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration for the computation of the depreciable amount. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. (b) Income Taxes There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination may be different from the initial estimate. The Company recognises tax liabilities based on its understanding of the prevailing tax laws and estimates of whether such taxes will be due in the ordinary course of business. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the year in which such determination is made. Page 14 92 MALAYSIAN GREEN TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (Incorporated in Malaysia) Company No : 462237 - T NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 4.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONT’D) (c) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets When the recoverable amount of an asset is determined based on the estimate of the value-in-use of the cash-generating unit to which the asset is allocated, the management is required to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to apply a suitable discount rate in order to determine the present value of those cash flows. (d) Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables An impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. Management specifically reviews its loans and receivables financial assets and analyses historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in the customer payment terms when making a judgement to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for impairment losses. Where there is objective 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. If the expectation is different from the estimation, such difference will impact the carrying value of receivables. 4.2 FUNCTIONAL AND FOREIGN CURRENCIES The functional currency of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The financial statements of the Company are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. 4.3 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial instruments are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. 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 a liability, are reported as an expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. A financial instrument is recognised initially at its fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument (other than a financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss) are added to/deducted from the fair value on initial recognition, as appropriate. Transaction costs on the financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

(a) Financial Assets On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables financial assets, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. (i) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category. (ii) Held-to-maturity Investments (iii) As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category. Loans and Receivables Financial Assets Trade receivables and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables financial assets. Loans and receivables financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment loss. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Loans and receivables financial assets are classified as current assets, except for those having settlement dates later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. (iv) Available-for-sale Financial Assets As at the end of the reporting period, there were no financial assets classified under this category. (b) Financial Liabilities All financial liabilities are initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method other than those categorised as fair value through profit or loss. Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are either held for trading or are designated to eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 4.3 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D) (b) Financial Liabilities (Cont’d) Financial liabilities are classifies as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. (c) Equity Instruments Instruments classified as equity are measured at cost and are not remeasured subsequently. (d) Derecognition A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss. A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 4.4 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is charged to profit or loss (unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset) on the straight-line method to write off the depreciable amount of the assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation of an asset does not cease when the asset becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully depreciated. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:Leasehold land Building Computer Energy audit equipment Furniture and fittings Motor vehicles Office equipment Renovation Solar system 99 years 2% 40% 20% 20% 20% 20% 10% 10% Page 17 95 MALAYSIAN GREEN TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (Incorporated in Malaysia) Company No : 462237 - T NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 4.4 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONT’D) The depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the amounts, method and periods of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of the property, plant and equipment. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of parts that are replaced is derecognised. The costs of the day-today servicing of equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Cost also comprises the initial estimate of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site on which it is located for which the Company is obligated to incur when the asset is acquired, if applicable. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the asset is recognised in profit or loss. 4.5 IMPAIRMENT (a) Impairment of Financial Assets All financial assets (other than those categorised at fair value through profit or loss), are assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. An impairment loss in respect of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. 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 through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. (b) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets The carrying values of assets, other than those to which MFRS 136 - Impairment of Assets does not apply, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period 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. The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the assets' fair value less costs to sell and their value-in-use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flow. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Page 18 96 MALAYSIAN GREEN TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (Incorporated in Malaysia) Company No : 462237 - T NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 4.5 IMPAIRMENT (CONT’D) (b) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets (Cont’d) When there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a 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 amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in profit or loss immediately. 4.6 INCOME TAXES Income tax for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the reporting period and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences other than those that arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 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 the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxation authority. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transactions either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 4.7 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand deposits, bank overdrafts and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value with original maturities period three months or less. 4.8 PROVISIONS Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is the present value of the estimated expenditure required to settle the obligation. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as interest expense in profit or loss. 4.9 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (a) Short-term Benefits Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Company. (b) Defined Contribution Plans The Company’s contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in profit or loss in the period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Company has no further liability in respect of the defined contribution plans. Page 20 98 MALAYSIAN GREEN TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (Incorporated in Malaysia) Company No : 462237 - T NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 4.10 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. The measurement assumes that the transaction takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market’s participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. For financial reporting purposes, the fair value measurements are analysed into level 1 to level 3 as follows:Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liability that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The transfer of fair value between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. 4.11 INCOME RECOGNITION AND OTHER INCOME (a) Government grants Grants that compensate the Company for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate for. Grants that compensate the Company for the cost of an asset are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the expected life of the related asset. (b) Services Revenue is recognised upon the rendering of services and when the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably. In the event the outcome of the transaction could not be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised to the extent of the expenses incurred that are recoverable. (c) Interest income Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effect interest method.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company’s activities are exposed to a variety of market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall financial risk management policy focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. 20.1 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES The Company’s policies in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are as follows:(a) Market Risk (i) Foreign Currency Risk The Company does not have any transactions or balances denominated in foreign currencies and hence are not exposed to foreign currency risk. (ii) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises mainly from interest-bearing financial assets. The Company’s policy is to obtain the most favourable interest rates available. Any surplus funds of the Company will be placed with licensed financial institutions to generate interest income. (iii) Equity Price Risk The Company does not have any quoted investments and hence is not exposed to equity price risk. (b) Credit Risk The Company’s exposure to credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, arises mainly from trade and other receivables. The Company manages its exposure to credit risk by the application of credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures on an ongoing basis. For other financial assets (including quoted investments, cash and bank balances and derivatives), the Company minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties. The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of the trade and other receivables as appropriate. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified. Impairment is estimated by management based on prior experience and the current economic environment.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D) 20.1 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONT’D) (b) Credit Risk (Cont’d) (i) Credit risk concentration profile The Company’s major concentration of credit risk relates to the amount owing by a customer which constituted approximately 37% of its trade receivables as at the end of the reporting period. (ii) Exposure to credit risk As the Company does not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets at the end of the reporting period. (iii) Ageing analysis The ageing analysis of the Company’s trade receivables at the end of the reporting period is as follows:Gross Amount RM Individual Impairment RM Collective Impairment RM Carrying Value RM 2014 Not past due 595,315 - - 595,315 Past due: - less than 3 months - 3 to 6 months - over 6 months 12,649 7,045 261,580 - - 12,649 7,045 261,580 876,589 - - 876,589 Not past due 981,460 - - 981,460 Past due: - less than 3 months - 3 to 6 months - over 6 months 62,724 11,445 507,407 (105,102) - 62,724 11,445 402,305 1,563,036 (105,102) - 1,457,934 2013 Page 29 107 MALAYSIAN GREEN TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (Incorporated in Malaysia) Company No : 462237 - T NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 31 DECEMBER 2014 20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D) 20.1 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONT’D) (b) Credit Risk (Cont’d) (iii) Ageing analysis (Cont’d) At the end of the reporting period, trade receivables that are individually impaired were those in significant financial difficulties and have defaulted on payments. These receivables are not secured by any collateral or credit enhancement. The collective impairment allowance is determined based on estimated irrecoverable amounts from the sale of goods, determined by reference to past default experience. Trade receivables that are past due but not impaired The Company believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these trade receivables. They are substantially companies with good collection track record and no recent history of default. Trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired A significant portion of trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are regular customers that have been transacting with the Company. The Company uses ageing analysis to monitor the credit quality of the trade receivables. Any receivables having significant balances past due or more than 60 days, which are deemed to have higher credit risk, are monitored individually.
