Management Discussion and Analysis
SKB Shutters Corporation Berhad (“SKB”) specializes in manufacturing of roller shutters, steel doors and storage and
handling system and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad since 28 March 2001. SKB Shutters
Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. and SKB Storage Industries Sdn. Bhd. are main subsidiaries of the Group.
Following the Group’s listing on the stock exchange, its main objective has led to the expansion in its regional coverage,
product innovation, manufacturing capability and capacity. The Group strives to achieve the vision of being recognized as
the largest roller shutter and storage system manufacturer in South East Asia.
For the financial year ended 2024, the Group’s mission is to be the preferred supplier of roller shutters, steel doors
and storage system products in the industry. In enhancing shareholders’ value, the Group is committed in providing the
well-engineered, thoroughly designed products for security, safety and reliable solutions. The aim to continuously exceed
customers’ expectations with satisfactory service and delivery as well as innovating useful, functional and high-performance
product is integral in achieving these goals.
The Group also emphasize on succession planning in its respective integral divisions to ensure learning, leading and
succession opportunities are identified for group-wide employees to excel and be rewarded.
Over the past years, eager research and development efforts has been deployed with product testing for roller shutters,
metal doors and racking systems carried out for both R&D and regulatory testing purposes. This includes the all-new
powerless flood shutters, extended length and S5 shelving systems and oversized fire-rated metal doors. The Group is
positively expecting these products to contribute to competitive edge in specific industries and bring about increased
exposure to wider range of projects segments locally and internationally.
PERFORMANCE OF THE GROUP FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Group’s revenue grew by 3.21% from RM112.136 million in FYE 30 June 2023 to RM115.731 million in the financial
year under review. The growth in revenue was primarily driven by the expansion of the domestic construction sector,
particularly within the logistics and industrial segments. The Group also benefited from the rise in both domestic and foreign
investments into Malaysia, which contributed to this positive performance.
The Group recorded an increase in profit before tax of RM3.621 million from RM18.363 million in FYE 30 June 2023. The
improvement in net profit before tax is a testament to the Group’s ongoing initiatives to optimize operational efficiencies and
streamline work processes across all divisions. These efforts have not only reduced costs but also enhanced productivity
and overall performance. Additionally, the Group has experienced a rise in sales of high-performance products, which are
characterized by their superior quality, innovation, and added value. These products command better margins compared to
standard offerings, further contributing to the increase in profitability. This strategic focus on both operational excellence
and premium product offerings has positioned the Group to capitalize on market opportunities while maintaining sustainable
financial growth
With improve earnings, the Group’s financial position was further strengthened with total equity increased to RM132.413
million as at 30 June 2024. The Group’s total assets as at FYE 2024 had increased to RM248.348 million from RM227.173
million in FYE 2023.
Business Operations
The financial year ended 30 June 2024 was supported by the rebound of the domestic economy in the construction sector,
with the continued progress in the commercial and industrial sectors, particularly in the logistics, digital infrastructure
centers and industrial buildings sectors.
BUSINESS RISKS
The key risks that the Group currently faces in its business operations include among others market competition. The
management of the material key risks are as below:
• Market competition
Market competition risk is caused by increased competition which may have an adverse impact on the Group,
in terms of customer growth, revenue and profitability. To mitigate this risk, the Group is continuously exploring
and implementing effective ways in customer engagement to deliver customer’s expectation and add value in the
customer relationship. The Group is also working on expanding its customer base, including focus on the expanding
export market, in order to entrench its position as one of the largest market players in the industry.
Global inflation has risen over the past two years. There is a huge pressure on rising labour costs, financing costs
and currency volatility. This Group manages this volatility by managing the uncertainty while not disrupting the
demand and supply equation. In addition, the Group continues to improve its costs structure by improving the
manufacturing efficiency and procurement strategies to minimize adverse impact to the sales of the Group.
The Group will continue to monitor the price fluctuations of input costs and exercise prudence to ensure stability of
our finances and business operations.
03
Annual Report
2024
Management Discussion and Analysis
The Group remains optimistic about future growth, supported by the expansion of the Malaysian economy. With the increase
in Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) into Malaysia, we anticipate continued opportunities, particularly within the growing
construction segment. As demand for high-quality building materials rises, the Group is well-positioned to leverage these
developments, driving sustainable growth and enhancing our market presence. At the same time, the Group will remain
vigilant and resilient in managing rising costs, including raw material price volatility and manufacturing overheads, to ensure
operational efficiency and profitability.
These strategic initiatives led by the Group are designed to foster value and growth during challenging and uncertain times:
The Group continues to position itself as a solution provider rather than merely a manufacturer and supplier. By increasingly
integrating automation and complementary products within the Group’s portfolio and forming close partnerships with
industry experts, clients can access comprehensive industry solutions instead of having to consolidate various products
into a single system or setup.

This Corporate Governance (“CG”) Overview Statement is presented in accordance with the requirements under Paragraph
15.25(1) and the provisions in Practice Note 9 of the Main Market Listing Requirement (“MMLR”). The Statement highlights
the applications of the key corporate governance practices of the Group during the financial year under the principles of (a)
Board Leadership and Effectiveness; (b) Effective Audit and Risk Management; as well as (c) Integrity in Corporate Reporting
and Meaningful Relationship with Stakeholders.
The Board has also provided specific disclosures on the application of each Practice in its Corporate Governance Report
(“CG Report”). Shareholders may obtain the CG Report by accessing the website at www.skb-shutters.com for further details.
During the financial year, the Board has eight (8) members comprising an Executive Chairman, one (1) Group
Managing Director, three (3) Executive Directors, and three (3) Independent Non-Executive Directors. The Executive
Chairman and Executive Directors are responsible for overseeing the Group’s operational facets. In contrast, the
Non-Executive and Independent Directors enhance the Board’s decision-making procedures by providing impartial
judgment and perspectives to ensure checks and balances.
• Conducted periodic reviews of the interim and annual financial results and ensured that the financial
statements of the Company and Group were fairly stated and conformed to the relevant regulations and
acceptable accounting policies;
• Strengthened the Company’s cash flows in order to cope with the current business environment;
• Defined its Charter and Schedule of Key Matters, setting out the roles, duties and responsibilities of the
Board, the principles and practices of corporate governance to be followed;
• Established its Board Committees and their terms of reference to assist the Board in discharging its duties
and responsibilities effectively. These Committees have the authority to examine particular issues and report
to the Board with their recommendations;
• Observed the regulatory requirements when disseminating information and making disclosures in consultation
with the Company Secretary;
• Ensured the implementation of Group anti-corruption framework, anti-bribery and gratification guidelines,
Code of Conduct and Ethics and Whistleblowing Policy;
• Maintained an appropriate and adequate system of internal control to manage risks in the Group; and
• Defined and implemented the Fit and Proper Policy, including the requirements of a Director’s character,
integrity, experience, competence, and commitment to discharge their roles effectively.
The roles of Board Chairman are currently held by the same director. The combination of these roles has helped
the Board align the management mindset with the Board. Nonetheless, with the presence of three (3) Independent
Non-Executive Directors, the Board feels that its current composition is reasonably sufficient to ensure the balance
of power and authority and, at the same time, provides the Board with the advantage of ensuring the expectations
of the Board and management are aligned with such combination of roles and responsibilities.
The Independent Directors have distinguished credentials, and some of them have also served as Independent
Directors in other publicly listed companies. The Board could rely on their extensive experience and knowledge to
ensure independence of judgment.
When identifying suitably qualified candidates for appointment of Director, the Board will not solely rely on
recommendations from existing board members, management, or major shareholders but will also consider
independent sources to identify suitably qualified candidates. During the financial year, no new Director was
appointed.
The current composition of the Board includes members with diverse skills, experience, age, and cultural backgrounds.
Half of the Board members are female directors. Each director’s profile is presented on pages 7 to 9 of this Annual
Report.

Annual Report
2024
Corporate Governance Overview Statement
The Board as a whole is responsible for the overall oversight of risk management in the Group, covering the system
of risk management and internal control for financial, operational and compliance, while the Executive Directors,
together with the senior management team, are primarily responsible for managing risks in the Group.
The Group recognises the persistent challenges arising from the volatility of raw material prices and currency
fluctuations, driven by geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and uneven recovery rates globally. These
factors have led to unpredictable cost variations, affecting production expenses and profit margins, while currency
fluctuations, especially in international operations, continue to influence import and export costs.
Despite these challenges, the Group remains optimistic about the recovery in the construction sector, particularly
within the industrial and digital infrastructure segments. This recovery is expected to drive demand for innovative,
high-quality building materials, positioning the Group to capitalize on emerging opportunities.
To manage these risk challenges, the Group continues to strengthen and enhance its business strategies by:
i. Providing comprehensive industry solutions through the integration of automation and complementary
products and industry experts partnership;
ii. Expanding customer base and export market by participating in overseas networking events;
iii. Continuous monitoring and managing material cost by arranging blanket orders and hedging;
v. Improving product quality, timeliness of delivery, innovation, and cost competitiveness; and
vi. Recruit and train local workers to reduce reliance on foreign skilled workers, including collaborating with local
technical schools and participating in their career fairs.
The Board is satisfied with the effectiveness and adequacy of the current level of risk management and internal
control systems. The Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control in this Annual Report provides further
details of the Group’s risk management and internal control systems.
The Company had outsourced its internal audit function to IA Essential Sdn Bhd, a third-party internal audit firm.
The Internal Auditors have conducted their work based on the broad principles of the International Professional
Practice Framework of the Institute of Internal Auditors, which covers audit planning, execution, documentation,
communication of findings, and consultation with key stakeholders on audit concerns. The Audit Committee will
review the internal audit engagement to ensure that the Internal Auditors’ objectivity and independence are not
impaired or affected.
Further details of the internal audit function are disclosed in the Audit Committee Report in this Annual Report.
Regular communication with stakeholders is important for enhancing their appreciation and understanding of the

Sustainability Statement
Sustainability Governance
Our Board of Directors (“Board”) oversees the Group’s sustainability efforts, including monitoring and assessing sustainability
issues and practices, defining policies, and authorising strategies. The Board evaluates the sustainability performance of
the directors and their comprehension of relevant sustainability issues concerning the Group and its business, including
climate-related risks and opportunities, in consultation with the Nominating Committee. The Board ensures sustainability is
integrated into the Group’s strategies, business plans, and risk management, while promoting long-term value creation and
effectively communicating sustainability priorities and performance to subsidiaries and stakeholders.
The Sustainability Management Committee (“SMC”), composed of the respective Heads of Departments and led by our
Managing Director, reports to and advises the Board on sustainability matters. The SMC supervises the Group’s sustainability
implementation and performance, recommends improvements, and identifies material topics, including climate-related risks
and stakeholder interests. Additionally, the SMC sets targets, integrates sustainability into decision-making, and develops
systems for collecting, verifying, and reporting sustainability data.
Stakeholder Engagement
We regularly evaluate key sustainability topics and their impact on our operations, taking into account shifts in our operating
environment and insights gathered through ongoing stakeholder engagement sessions.
Sustainability Matters
We recognise that our approach to sustainability directly influences our long-term value creation for stakeholders. These
considerations guide our business strategy and inform how we allocate resources toward sustainable initiatives.
In FY2024, we conducted an assessment of these matters by engaging directly with our internal stakeholders (senior
management and employees) and key external groups (business partners, corporate professionals, customers, NGOs/local
communities, and financial institutions). We have identified seven key stakeholder groups and eighteen relevant issues,
nine of which require focused attention. The findings were carefully reviewed by management and subsequently approved
by the Board.
Our assessment process was aligned with Bursa’s Sustainability Reporting Guide, which outlines the following three phases:
• Identified key stakeholders of • Engaged our internal and • The materiality assessment

matters listed in the table below. This approach allows us to concentrate our efforts where needed, ensuring we remain
responsive and responsible.
Note:
1. “Assurance”, “Regulatory Compliance”, “Risk Management”, “Corporate Code of Conduct and Ethics”, and
“Corporate Governance” are collectively managed under “Corporate Governance and Compliance”.
2. “Green Operating Approaches, Methods and Procedures” is managed under “Workplace and Immediate Environment”

Why it matters?
Sustainable product design is vital for both environmental stewardship and the long-term reliability of our offerings. The
materials we select not only influence our environmental footprint but also determine the durability and performance of
our products. By prioritising recyclability, responsibly sourced materials, and product longevity, we aim to reduce waste
and minimise our impact on the environment.
Sustainability is embedded in our product design and material sourcing processes. We focus on using recyclable materials,
sourcing resources responsibly, ensuring their availability, and enhancing product durability. Our commitment to prioritising
product quality and durability minimises replacement frequency, thereby contributing to resource conservation and waste
reduction. We also adopted powder-coat finishing across all our products. This method uses organic components that are
free from TGIC, heavy metals, and harmful volatile substances, aligning with our commitment to environmental safety.
Our Powerless Auto-Close Flood Shutter, recognised with the Archidex Star
Award 2023 and The Brandlaureate Sustainable Business and Inspirational
Brands Achievement Awards 2022-2023, is designed with automatic
deployment that does not require electricity supply or backup power during
flood events.
A few categories of our roller shutters have been rigorously tested to ASTM

Why it matters?
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our workplace and the management of our surrounding environment. The
design of our facilities and our daily operations directly impact our energy and water usage, waste management, and overall
carbon footprint. By prioritising energy efficiency, waste reduction, and responsible resource use, we not only protect the
environment but also inspire our employees to adopt sustainable practices.
Our Kota Damansara plant was designed with several energy-saving measures in mind. The plant’s design optimises natural
light by using skylight panels, reducing reliance on artificial lighting. These panels are maintained annually to ensure optimal
efficiency. For low-light conditions, we use energy-efficient LED lighting. In FY2022, we expanded our sustainability efforts
by installing solar panels across 5,200 m² of the plant’s roof. These panels generated 488 MWh in FY2023, significantly
reducing our carbon footprint while delivering financial savings for the Group.
In FY2024, we saved 829.8 MWh of electricity through the use of solar-generated power, resulting in an estimated reduction
of 629 tonnes of CO2e.

and organic waste at the end of each workday. Hazardous waste generated 38.2
is categorised as scheduled waste, while non-hazardous waste includes 19%
general and recyclable materials. Recyclable materials from our factory, i.e.
scrap metal and scheduled waste, are collected by vendors regularly. Our
factory also fully reuses all cardboard packaging materials from procured
items.

Industry Development
Why it matters?
Staying abreast of industry developments is crucial for enhancing safety and addressing emerging challenges effectively.
Particularly in areas such as fire safety and flood protection, continuous updates in regulations and rising environmental
risks necessitate a proactive approach. Keeping informed about these changes ensures that our products remain effective
in safeguarding lives.
We actively engage with the latest advancements in fire safety and industry standards by participating in research and
attending relevant conferences. This engagement allows us to stay updated on new materials, building techniques, and
regulatory changes.
To address specific challenges such as flood risks, we have launched the Powerless Auto-Close Flood Shutter in FY2023.
Theses shutters are designed to protect assets and lives during flood events. Additionally, we collaborate with government
and industry partners to develop customised solutions, including insulated fire shutters and seismic storage systems.
Our storage racking systems have been tested to Australian Standard AS 4084:2023, which requires all racking systems
to be designed to withstand earthquakes and outlines the framework for safe operation and maintenance of the product.
Adherence to the standard helps ensure the safety and structural integrity of racking systems, and protect workers and the
public from hazard associated with the use of racking. These innovations not only addresses market expectations of the
products but also serves as a mitigation measure in response to increasing drastic climate events.
SKB is the first in Malaysia to successfully test fire-rated doors with electric mortise lock, and the largest fire-rated doors
under Malaysian Standard. Additionally, our horizontal shutter is the first in the world to achieve 4-hour fire rating under BS
EN Standard.
Why it matters?
Maintaining a responsible and sustainable supply chain is crucial, particularly when working with local suppliers. Ethical
sourcing and fair treatment of suppliers ensure that we avoid causing harm to people or the environment. By prioritising local
suppliers, we not only contribute positively to our community but also support the sustainability of our operations.

BOARD’S RESPONSIBILITIES
The Board acknowledges its overall responsibility to maintain a sound system of internal control and risk management
framework within the Group. The Board also recognises that reviewing the Group’s systems of risk management and internal
control is a continuous process in ensuring the implementation of appropriate strategies to manage risks and safeguard the
shareholders’ investment and the Group’s assets.
The Board recognises that business decisions require balancing risk, cost management, shareholders’ interest and return.
Functionally, risk management implementation is the responsibility of all Executive Directors and Departmental Heads, while
the Board derives its comfort in the state of risk management and internal control implementation in the Group from the
following avenues:
• Quarterly reviews of the financial performance of the Company and the Group;
• Briefing by Management during the Board Meetings on significant business and operational performance and
outlooks;
• Assessments of the internal control systems and governance practices by the Internal Auditors; and
• Annual management assurance that the Group’s risk management and internal control systems are adequate and
effective in all material respects.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Executive Directors and Heads of Departments are accountable to the Board for identifying, evaluating, monitoring, and
managing risks; taking and implementing appropriate and timely actions and controls, and providing assurance to the Board
that these risk management and internal control systems are adequate and effective.
The Group recognises the persistent challenges arising from the volatility of raw material prices and currency fluctuations,
driven by geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and uneven recovery rates globally. These factors have led to
unpredictable cost variations, affecting production expenses and profit margins, while currency fluctuations, especially in
international operations, continue to influence import and export costs.
Despite these challenges, the Group remains optimistic about the recovery in the construction sector, particularly within the
industrial and digital infrastructure segments. This recovery is expected to drive demand for innovative, high-quality building
materials, positioning the Group to capitalise on emerging opportunities.
To manage these risk challenges, the Group continues to strengthen and enhance its business strategies by:
i. Providing comprehensive industry solutions through the integration of automation and complementary products and
industry experts partnership;
ii. Expanding customer base and export market by participating in overseas networking events;
iii. Continuous monitoring and managing material cost by arranging blanket orders and hedging;
iv. Engaging and adding value in the customer relationship;
v. Improving product quality, timeliness of delivery, innovation, and cost competitiveness; and
vi. Recruit and train local workers to reduce reliance on foreign skilled workers, including collaborating with local
technical schools and participating in their career fairs.
INTERNAL CONTROL
The following are the key control procedures and measures embedded in the Group forming part of the Group’s risk
mitigation procedures and the management controls:
i. Management organisation structure defining the management’s responsibilities and hierarchical structure of
reporting lines and accountability;
ii. Periodic management meetings, departmental meetings and performance reporting for monitoring and ensuring that
the business operations are progressed per the objectives and targets;
iii. Standard operating procedures guiding staff members in carrying out their functions effectively;

of the Group.

an amount which they might be expected so to realise.

Standards”), IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS
Accounting Standards”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.

The Group and the Company plan to apply the abovementioned standards and amendments where applicable,
in the respective financial years when the above standards and amendments become effective.
The initial application of the above standards and amendments is not expected to have any material financial
impact to the current period and prior period financial statements of the Group and the Company.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with MFRS Accounting Standards requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies
that have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements other than those disclosed
in the following notes :
The Group adopted amendments to MFRS 101, Presentation of Financial Statements and MFRS Practice
Statement 2 - Disclosures of Accounting Policies from 1 January 2023. The amendments require the
disclosure of ‘material’, rather than ‘significant’, accounting policies. The amendments also provide guidance
on the application of materiality to disclosure of accounting policies, assisting entities to provide useful,
entity-specific accounting policy information that users need to understand other information in the financial
statements.
Although the amendments did not result in any changes to the Group’s accounting policies, it impacted the
accounting policy information disclosed in the financial statements. The material accounting policy information
is disclosed in the respective notes to the financial statements where relevant.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and
any accumulated impairment losses.
(b) Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
each component of an item of property, plant and equipment from the date that they are available for
use. Property, plant and equipment under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready
for their intended use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows :

RM RM RM
The Group leases a number of forklifts and two (2023 : two) parcels of leasehold land that run between 5 years and
99 (2023 : 99) years respectively.
4.1 Security
The leasehold land are charged to licensed banks as security for the term loans facility granted to a subsidiary
(see Note 14).
The Group applied judgement and assumptions in determining the incremental borrowing rates of the leases
of forklifts. Group entities first determine the closest available borrowing rates before using judgement to
determine the adjustments required to reflect the term, security, value or economic environment of the
leases.
All right-of-use assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses.
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases
that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises
the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.

The fair value of the investment properties of the Group is based on the Directors’ estimation using the latest
available market information and recent experience and knowledge in the location and category of properties
being valued. The fair value of the investment properties as at 30 June 2024 is classified as level 3 fair value
(2023 : level 3 fair value), estimated at approximately RM585,000 (2023 : RM580,000).
The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change
in circumstances that caused the transfer.
There has been no transfer between the fair value levels during the financial year (2023 : no transfer in either
directions).
Level 3 fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs for the investment properties.
The Directors estimate the fair value of the Group’s investment properties based on the following key
assumptions :
• Comparison of the Group’s investment properties with similar properties that were published for sale
within the same locality or other comparable localities; and
• Enquiries from relevant property valuers and real estate agents on market conditions and changing
market trends.
Investment properties are measured subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the
deferred taxes relate to the same authority. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which
the Group entities can utilise the benefits therefrom.

The Group has exposures to the following risks from its use of financial instruments :
• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk
• Market risk
79
Annual Report
2024
Notes to the Financial Statements
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from the individual
characteristics of each customer. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from advances to
subsidiaries and financial guarantees given to banks and suppliers for credit facilities granted to subsidiaries.
There are no significant changes as compared to prior periods.
Trade receivables
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis.
Normally credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount.
At each reporting date, the Group or the Company assesses whether any of the trade receivables is credit
impaired.
The gross carrying amount of credit impaired trade receivables is written off (either partially or full) when there
is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group or the Company determines
that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay
the amounts subject to the write-off. Nevertheless, trade receivables that are written off could still be subject
to enforcement activities.
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables is
represented by the carrying amounts in the statements of financial position.
The exposure of credit risk for trade receivables as at the end of the reporting period by geographical region was :
Group
2024 2023
RM RM
25,158,102 22,001,830
In managing credit risk of trade receivables, the Group manages its debtors and takes appropriate actions
(including but not limited to legal actions) to recover long overdue balances. Generally, trade receivables will
pay within credit terms granted. The Group’s debt recovery process is as follows :
a) Above 30 days past due after credit term, the Group will start to initiate a structured debt recovery
process which is monitored by the credit controller; and
b) Above 90 days past due, the Group will commence a legal proceeding against the customer.
The Group uses an allowance matrix to measure expected credit losses (“ECLs”) of trade receivables for all
trade receivables except for project-based customers. Invoices which are past due 90 days will be considered
as credit impaired.
Loss rates are calculated using a ‘roll rate’ method based on the probability of a receivable progressing
through successive stages of delinquency to 90 days past due.
Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience over the past three years. The Group also considers
differences between (a) economic conditions during the period over which the historic data has been
collected, (b) current conditions and (c) the Group’s view of economic conditions over the expected lives
of the receivables. Nevertheless, the Group believes that these factors are immaterial for the purpose of
impairment calculation for the year.
For project-based customers, the Group assessed the risk of loss of each customer individually based on
past trend of payments. All of these customers have low risk of default.
The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and ECLs for trade receivables.

Short-term deposits placed with financial institutions and cash and cash equivalents
The above are held with banks and financial institutions. As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum
exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying amounts in the statements of financial position.
These banks and financial institutions have low credit risks. In addition, some of the bank balances are
insured by government agencies. Consequently, the Group and the Company are of the view that the loss
allowance is not material and hence, it is not provided for.
Other receivables
Credit risk on other receivables are mainly arising from staff advances, deposits paid for utilities and
membership for golf club.
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying
amounts in the statements of financial position.
As at the end of the reporting period, the Group recognised allowance for impairment losses on other
receivables amounted to RM51,960 (2023 : RM51,960).
Financial guarantees
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Company provides unsecured financial guarantees to banks and suppliers in respect of facilities granted
to certain subsidiaries. The Company monitors the ability of the subsidiaries to service their banking facilities
on an individual basis.
The maximum exposure to credit risk amounts to RM82,208,072 (2023 : RM80,704,486) representing the
outstanding banking facilities of the subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period.
Financial guarantees provided to the suppliers of certain subsidiaries are to secure the amount payable of
RM1,443,027 (2023 : RM1,207,433) as at the end of the reporting period.
The Company assumes that there is a significant increase in credit risk when a subsidiary’s financial position
deteriorates significantly. The Company considers a financial guarantee to be credit impaired when :
• The subsidiary is unlikely to repay its credit obligation to the bank or supplier in full; or
• The subsidiary is continuously loss making and is having a deficit shareholder’s fund.
The Company determines the probability of default of the guaranteed amounts individually using internal
information available.
As at the end of the reporting period, the Company did not recognise any allowance for impairment loss in
respect of the financial guarantees as the probability of the subsidiaries defaulting on the banking facilities
is remote.
Inter-company advances
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Company provides unsecured advances to subsidiaries. The Company monitors the ability of the
subsidiaries to repay the advances on an individual basis.
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying
amounts in the statement of financial position.
Advances are only provided to subsidiaries which are wholly-owned by the Company, and are not secured by
any collateral or supported by any other credit enhancements.
Generally, the Company considers advances to subsidiaries to be with low credit risk. The Company assumes
that there is a significant increase in credit risk when a subsidiary’s financial position deteriorates significantly.
As the Company is able to determine the timing of payments of the subsidiaries’ advances when they are
payable, the Company considers the advances to be in default when the subsidiaries are not able to pay when
demanded. The Company considers a subsidiary’s advance to be credit impaired when :
The Company determines the probability of default for these advances individually using internal information
available.

Notes to the Financial Statements
The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and ECLs for subsidiaries’ advances.
2024
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group and the Company will not be able to meet their financial obligations as
they fall due. The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises principally from their various
payables, loans and borrowings.
The Group and the Company maintain a level of cash and cash equivalents and banking facilities deemed
adequate by the management to ensure, as far as possible, that they will have sufficient liquidity to meet
their liabilities when they fall due.
It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at
significantly different amounts.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates that
will affect the Group’s financial position or cash flows.
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales, purchases, cash and cash equivalents and
borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the
Group entities. The currency giving rise to this risk is primarily U.S. Dollar (“USD”).
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
It is generally the Group’s practice not to enter into foreign exchange contracts in managing its
foreign exchange risk resulting from cash flows from transactions denominated in foreign currency.
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency (a currency which is other than the functional currency
of the Group entities) risk, based on carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period was :
Group
2024 2023
RM RM
Denominated in USD
Foreign currency risk arises from Group entities which have a Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) functional
currency. The exposure to currency risk of Group entities which do not have a RM functional currency
is not material and hence, sensitivity analysis is not presented.
A 10% (2023 : 10%) strengthening of the RM against USD at the end of the reporting period would
have increased (2023 : increased) post-tax profit or loss by RM144,650 (2023 : RM74,924).
This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to
be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. This analysis assumes that all other
variables, in particular interest rates, remained constant and ignores any impact of forecasted
transactions.
A 10% (2023 : 10%) weakening of the RM against USD at the end of the reporting period would
have had equal but opposite effect on USD to the amount shown above, on the basis that all other
variables remained constant.

Annual Report

Notes to the Financial Statements
The Group’s fixed rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes
in interest rates. The Group’s variable rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows
due to changes in interest rates. Short-term receivables and payables are not significantly exposed
to interest rate risk.
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
The Group is presently enjoying competitive interest rates which are reviewed and negotiated on a
yearly basis. The Group manages their interest rate risk by having a combination of borrowings with
floating and fixed rates.
The interest rate profile of the Group’s and the Company’s significant interest-bearing financial
instruments, based on carrying amounts as at the end of the reporting period was :
Group Company
2024 2023 2024 2023
RM RM RM RM
The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the end of the reporting period
would not affect profit or loss.
A change of 50 basis points (“bp”) in interest rates at the end of the reporting period
would have increased/(decreased) post-tax profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This
analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remained
constant.

Notes to the Financial Statements
The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change
in circumstances that caused the transfer.
There has been no transfer between the fair value levels during the financial year (2023 : no transfer in either
directions).
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future
principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the end of the reporting period.
The fair value of the loans and borrowings is calculated using discounted cash flows where the market rate
of interest is determined by reference to similar borrowing arrangements.
The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to maintain a strong capital base and safeguard the Group’s ability
to continue as a going concern, so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future
development of the business. The Directors monitor and determined to maintain an optimal debt-to-equity ratio that
complied with debt covenants and regulatory requirements.

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of SKB Shutters Corporation Berhad, which comprise the statements of financial
position as at 30 June 2024 of the Group and of the Company, and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then
ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information, as set out on pages 49 to
91.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and
of the Company as at 30 June 2024, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with MFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MFRS Accounting
Standards”), IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting
Standards”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.
We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on
Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Financial Statements section of our auditors’ report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the Group and of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws (on Professional Ethics, Conduct and
Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-Laws”) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’
International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (“IESBA Code”),
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and
we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The Group has inventories amounting to RM51.2 million, Our audit procedures included, amongst others :
representing 43.66% of the Group’s total current assets
as at 30 June 2024. • Tested the accuracy of inventories ageing reports by

matters. evaluated the adequacy of write down based on the
past trends;
We have determined that there are no key audit matters in the audit of the separate financial statements of the Company
to communicate in our auditors’ report.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report Thereon
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements of the Group and of the Company and our
auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover the annual report and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, our responsibility is to read the
annual report and, in doing so, consider whether the annual report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements
of the Group and of the Company or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the annual report, we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Company
that give a true and fair view in accordance with MFRS Accounting Standards, IFRS Accounting Standards and the
requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia. The Directors are also responsible for such internal control as the
Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Company that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, the Directors are responsible for assessing the
ability of the Group and of the Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the
Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing will always detect
a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing,
we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also :
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
internal control of the Group and of the Company.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the ability of the Group or of the Company to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Group or the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Company represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements of the Group. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear
on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit
of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current year and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter
or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our auditors’ report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of
such communication.
In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia, we report that the subsidiary of which we have
not acted as auditors is disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements.
