4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (a) Business Combinations and Consolidation (continued) (ii) Subsidiaries and Basis of Consolidation (continued) The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions, other events and conditions in similar circumstances. The carrying amount of investment in each subsidiary of a parent in the Group is eliminated against the parent’s portion of equity in each subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements combine line-to-line items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the Authority and all its subsidiaries. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition (which is the date the Group assumes control of an investee) or up to effective date of disposal (which is the date the Group ceases to have control of an investee). All intra-group balances and transactions are eliminated in full on consolidation. Unrealised profits and losses arising from intra-group transactions are also eliminated in full on consolidation, except when an unrealised loss is an impairment loss. When the Group ceases to control a subsidiary, the difference between the proceeds from the disposal of the subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date that control is lost is recognised in profit or loss in the statements of comprehensive income as a gain or loss on disposal of the subsidiary. The cumulative amount of any exchange differences that relate to a foreign subsidiary recognised in other comprehensive income is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the subsidiary. If the Group retains an equity interest in the former subsidiary, it is accounted for as a financial asset (provided it does not become an associate or a joint venture). The carrying amount of the investment retained at the date that the entity ceases to be a subsidiary is regarded as the cost on initial measurement of the financial asset. Any decrease in equity stake in a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control is accounted for as an equity transaction and the financial effect is adjusted directly in the consolidated statements of changes in equity. (iii) Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests in a partly-owned subsidiary represents its share of net assets, other than goodwill, of the subsidiary and is presented as a component of equity separately from owners’ equity. Non-controlling interest is initially measured at acquisition-date share of net assets other than goodwill as of the acquisition date and is subsequently adjusted for the changes in the net assets of the subsidiary after the acquisition date. The group treats a change in a parent’s controlling interest in a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control as a transaction with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders. Accordingly, the carrying amount of the non-controlling is adjusted to reflect the change in the parent’s interest in the subsidiary’s net assets. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is so adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received, if any, is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owner of the parent.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (a) Business Combinations and Consolidation (continued) (iv) Associates The Group recognises an associate based on the criterion of significant influence. Significant influence exists when the Group has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but has no control or joint control of those policies. This is normally (though not necessarily) accomplished when the Group directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, holds 20 per cent or more of the voting rights of the investee. When the Group’s voting rights in an investee are less than 20 per cent, the Group assesses whether it has significant influence by examining all relevant facts and circumstances, including the existence of potential voting rights that are substantive, representation on the board members, participation in policy-making processes, material transactions between the Group and the investee, interchange of managerial personnel and provision of essential technical information. The Group may sometimes hold an insignificant equity interest in an investee to cement a trading relationship and is represented on the board of directors of the investee. If the Group’s representation on the board members is solely for the purpose of protecting the value of the investment rather than participation in the policy decisions, the investee is not classified as an associate. The Group measures all investment in associates using the equity method. Equity Method In the consolidated financial statements of the Group, investment in associates is accounted for under the equity method. Under this method, on initial recognition, the investment in an associate or a joint venture is measured at cost. Subsequently, the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the Group’s: (i) share of the investee’s profit or loss through profit or loss; (ii) share of the investee’s other comprehensive income through other comprehensive income; and (iii) share of the investee’s changes in other net assets through equity. In applying the equity method, the Group uses the financial statements of its associates as of the same date as the financial statements of the Group. If the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds the carrying amount of its investment in the investee, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. After the Group’s interest is reduced to zero, it recognises additional losses by a provision only to the extent that it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or has made payments on behalf of the investee. Unrealised gains and losses arising from transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated partially to the extent of the Group’s interests in the associates, except when there are indications of impairment losses. This partial elimination principle applies to a transfer of non-monetary assets to an associate in exchange for equity interests in the investee. (b) Separate Financial Statements In the separate financial statements of the Authority, investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Cost at initial recognition comprises cash, and fair values of other considerations transferred and liabilities assumed, and it includes acquisition-related expenses. Dividend declared by an investee is recognised as income when the Authority’s right to receive dividend has been established, which is generally the date the dividend is appropriately authorised by the investee.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (c) Foreign Currency (i) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rate at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of the reporting date, except for those that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined. In the consolidated financial statements, foreign currency exchange gains and losses arising from monetary item that forms part of the Group’s net investment in a foreign operation (i.e. a receivable from or a payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future) are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (“FCTR”) in equity. The foreign currency differences accumulated in equity is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the net investment. In the separate financial statements, all foreign currency differences are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income. (ii) Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia The assets and liabilities of operations denominated in functional currencies other than RM, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. (d) Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) Operating tangible assets that are used for more than one accounting period in the production and supply of goods and services, for administrative purposes or for rental to others are recognised as property, plant and equipment when the Group and the Authority obtain control of the assets. The assets, including major spares, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment, are classified into appropriate classes based on their nature. Any subsequent replacement of a significant component in an existing asset is capitalised as a new component in the asset and the old component is derecognised. All property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. For a purchased asset, cost comprises purchase price plus all directly attributable costs incurred in bringing the asset to its present location and condition for management’s intended use. For a self-constructed asset, cost comprises all direct and indirect costs of construction (including provision for restoration and cost of major inspection) but excludes internal profits. For an exchange of non-monetary asset that has a commercial substance, cost is measured by reference to the fair value of the asset received. For an asset transferred from a customer or a grantor, cost is measured by reference to the fair value of the asset. All property, plant and equipment are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Freehold land and capital work-in-progress are not depreciated but are subject to impairment test if there is any indication of impairment.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (d) Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) All other property, plant and equipment are depreciated by allocating the depreciable amount of a significant component or of an item over the remaining useful life. The depreciation methods used and the useful lives of the respective classes of property, plant and equipment are as follows: Method Useful life Land Straight-line Remaining lease term Buildings Straight-line 5 - 10% Plant, machinery and equipment Straight-line 10 - 20% Furniture, fittings and office equipment Straight-line 10 - 20% Infrastructure and loading ramp Straight-line 5 - 10% Mobile equipment Straight-line 20% At the end of each reporting period, the residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods for the property, plant and equipment are reviewed for reasonableness. Any change in estimate of an item is adjusted prospectively over its remaining useful life, commencing in the current period. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use and no further charge for depreciation is made in respect of these assets. Upon the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the net carrying amount is recognised in the statements of comprehensive income. (e) Biological Assets The biological assets of the Group comprise: (i) bearer biological plants of oil palm; (ii) non-bearer biological plant of bamboo and gaharu. Bearer plants of oil palms are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost of bearer plants consists of accumulated plantation development costs incurred from commencement of planting of seedlings up to maturity of the crop cultivated. Capitalisation of plantation development and other operating costs ceases upon commencement of commercial harvesting, which is 3 years for oil palms. The bearer plants of oil palm are amortised on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 25 years. The amortisation method and the useful life of a crop in each are (determined by fields of planting or replanting) are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, and any change in estimate is applied prospectively over the remaining useful life of the crop, commencing in the current period. When a bearer crop has reached the end of its useful life and is replanted, the carrying amount of the old bearer crop is derecognised, and the new bearer crop is treated as a replacement of the old bearer crop and capitalised. The non-bearer plant of bamboo and gaharu are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost of non-bearer plants consists of accumulated plantation development costs incurred from commencement of planting of seedlings up to maturity of the crop cultivated, which is 7 years. Capitalisation of plantation development and other operating costs ceases upon maturity of the crop. The amortisation method and the estimated useful lives of the non-bearer plants are as follows: Method Useful life (years) Bamboo Straight-line 30 Gaharu Straight-line 30 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 52 SALCRA 2022 ANNUAL REPORT


4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (f) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (i) Goodwill and Bargain Purchase The Group does not recognise internally generated goodwill. In a business combination accounted for under the acquisition method, purchased goodwill is recognised as an asset as of the acquisition date, measured at the difference between cost of investment and share of net assets acquired. Non-controlling interests’ share of goodwill is not recognised. In the rare occasion when the share of net assets acquired exceeds the cost of combination, a reassessment of the acquisition-date accounting is performed, and any remaining excess is recognised immediately in the statements of comprehensive income as a bargain purchase gain and attributed to the owners of the parent only. Purchased goodwill, including goodwill on acquisition of an interest in an associate, is amortised on the straight-line basis over 10 years and is subject to impairment test whenever there is any indication of impairment. (ii) Research and Development Costs All research costs and development costs are recognised as an expense when incurred, except for development cost that is part of the cost of a recognised asset, in which case, the cost is capitalised in that recognised asset. (g) Construction Contracts The Group’s contract accounting is usually applied separately to each construction contract with a customer. However, when a contract covers a number of assets, the construction of each asset is treated as a separate contract when: (a) separate proposals have been submitted for each asset; (b) each asset has been subject to separate negotiation, and the contractor and customer are able to accept or reject that part of the contract relating to each asset; and (c) the costs and revenues for each asset can be identified. Conversely, a group of contracts, whether with a single customer or with several customers, is treated as single construction contract when: (a) the group of contracts is negotiated as a single package; (b) the contracts are so closely related that they are, in effect, part of a single project with an overall profit margin; and (c) the contracts are performed concurrently or in a continuous sequence. When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs associated with the construction contract are recognised as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period. The stage of completion is measured by the proportion that costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total costs. When the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable and contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue on a contract, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately, with a corresponding provision for an onerous contract. When the aggregate of: (i) costs incurred; plus (ii) recognised progressive profits; less (iii) recognised foreseeable losses exceed the progress billings to date of contracts with customers, the excess is recognised and presented as a gross amount due from customers (a current asset). Conversely, when that aggregate is less than the progress billings, the shortfall is recognised and presented as a gross amounts due to customers (a current liability).

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (h) Inventories Agricultural produce is measured at fair value less costs to sell at point of harvest. Processed agricultural commodities are measured at fair value less costs to sell on completion of production in accordance with well- accepted industry practices. Fair value is determined using a quoted price in an active market. All other inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value (which is the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell). Cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable costs of bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. For manufactured goods, cost includes conversion costs of labour and variable and fixed production overheads. For items of inventory that are individually significant or are segregated for individual projects, cost is measured using the specific identifiable method. For homogeneous items of inventory, cost is determined by the weighted average cost formula. Net realisable value is determined on an item-by-item basis or on group of similar items basis. (i) Participants’ Accounts Participant accounts comprise revenue derived from sales of produce less development cost, and distribution to the participants and allocation of fund to replanting reserve and general reserve. When development costs exceed surplus generated from sales of crops, the balance represents a debt due from the scheme participants. When the surplus exceed the development costs, the balance represent an amount owing to the scheme participant. Expenditure incurred by the Group and the Authority in developing the land schemes is stated at cost. (j) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand deposits, 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 maturity periods of three months or less. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank balances and fixed deposits pledged with licensed banks. (k) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets An impairment loss arises when the carrying amount of a Group’s and Authority’s asset exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing of non-financial assets, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of business combinations. At the end of each reporting date, the Group and the Authority assess whether there is any indication that a stand-alone asset or a cash-generating unit may be impaired by using external and internal sources of information. If any such indication exists, the Group and the Authority estimate the recoverable amount of the asset or cash-generating unit. If an individual asset generates independent cash inflows, it is tested for impairment as a stand-alone asset. If an asset does not generate independent cash inflows, it is tested for impairment together with other assets (including any allocated goodwill) in a cash-generating unit, at the lower level in which independent cash inflows are generated and monitored for internal management purposes. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. The Group and the Authority determine the fair value less costs to sell of an asset or a cash-generating unit in a hierarchy based on: (i) price in a binding sale agreement; (ii) market price traded in an active market; and (iii) estimate of market price using the best available information. The value in use is estimated by discounting the net cash inflows (by an appropriate discount rate) of theasset or unit, using reasonable and supportable management’s budgets and forecasts of five years and extrapolation of cash inflows for periods beyond the five-year forecast or budget.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (k) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets (continued) For an asset measured on a cost-based model, any impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. For a property, plant and equipment measured on the revaluation model, any impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. For a cash-generating unit, any impairment loss is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the unit, if any, and the balance of the impairment loss is then allocated to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the relative carrying amounts of the assets. The Group and the Authority reassess the recoverable amount of an impaired asset or a cash-generating unit if there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised previously may have reversed. Other than goodwill, any reversal of impairment loss for an asset carried at a cost-based model is recognised in profit or loss, subject to the limit that the revised carrying amount does not exceed the amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised previously. Impairment loss of goodwill is not reversed. (l) Financial Instruments (i) Initial Recognition and Measurement The Group and the Authority recognises a financial asset or a financial liability (including derivative instruments) in the statements of financial position when, and only when, an entity in the Group and the Authority becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. On initial recognition, all financial assets (including intra-group loans and advances) and financial liabilities (including intra-group payables) are measured at fair value, which is generally the transaction price, plus transaction costs if the financial asset or financial liability is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. For instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss when incurred. For intra-group loans and advances, and other contractual arrangements, that constitute a financial transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. (ii) Derecognition of Financial Instruments For derecognition purposes, the Group and the Authority first determine whether a financial asset or a financial liability should be derecognised in its entirety as a single item or derecognised part-by-part of a single item or of a group of similar items. A financial asset, whether as a single item or as a part, is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the Group and the Authority transfer the contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset, including circumstances when the Group and the Authority act only as a collecting agent of the transferee, and retain no significant risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset or no continuing involvement in the control of the financial asset transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when, and only when, it is legally extinguished, which is either when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. A substantial modification to the terms of an existing financial liability is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. For this purpose, the Group and the Authority consider a modification as substantial if the present value of the revised cash flows of the modified terms discounted at the original effective interest rate differs by 10% or more when compared with the carrying amount of the original liability. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 SALCRA 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 55


4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (l) Financial Instruments (continued) (iii) Subsequent Measurement of Financial Assets For the purpose of subsequent measurement, the Group and the Authority classify financial assets into three categories, namely: (i) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; (ii) financial assets at amortised cost; and (iii) equity instruments at cost less impairment. After initial recognition, the Group and the Authority measure investments in unit trusts at their fair values by reference to the active market prices. The investment in unquoted preference shares is measured at amortised cost whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. Investments in unquoted equity instruments and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost. Other than financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, all other financial assets are subject to review for impairment in accordance with Note 4(l)(vii). (iv) Subsequent Measurement of Financial Liabilities After initial recognition, the Group and the Authority measure all financial liabilities at amortised cost using the effective interest method, except for government loans which existed as at the date of transition (i.e. 1 January 2015). In accordance with Section 35.9 of MPERS, the Group and the Authority shall not retrospectively change the accounting for government loans which existed at the date of transition. As allowed by Section 35.9(f), the Group and the Authority shall use its previous GAAP carrying amount of the government loans at the date of transition to MPERS, as the carrying amount of the government loans at that date and the Group and the Authority shall not recognise the benefit of any government loan at a below-market rate of interest as a government grant. Government loans received after the date of transition are measured using the requirements in Section 11 Basic Financial Instruments and Section 24 Government Grants. (v) Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments The fair value of a financial asset or a financial liability is determined by reference to the quoted market price in an active market, and in the absence of an observable market price, by a valuation technique as described in Note 4(u). (vi) Recognition of Gains and Losses Fair value changes of financial assets and financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in statements of comprehensive income when they arise. For financial assets and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost, a gain or loss is recognised in the statements of comprehensive income only when the financial asset or financial liability is derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process of the instrument. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 56 SALCRA 2022 ANNUAL REPORT


4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (l) Financial Instruments (continued) (vii) Impairment and Uncollectability of Financial Assets The Group and the Authority apply the incurred loss model to recognise impairment losses of financial assets. At the end of each reporting period, the Group and the Authority examine whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Evidences of trigger loss events include: (i) significant difficulty of the issuer or obligor; (ii) a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payment; (iii) granting exceptional concession to a customer; (iv) it is probable that a customer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; (v) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or (vi) any observable market data indicating that there may be a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets. For a non-current loan and receivable carried at amortised cost, the revised estimated cash flows are discounted at the original effective interest rate. Any impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss and a corresponding amount is recorded in a loss allowance account. Any subsequent reversal of impairment loss of the financial asset is reversed in the statements of comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the allowance account, subject to the limit that the reversal should not result in the revised carrying amount of the financial asset exceeding the amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised previously. For short-term trade and other receivables, where the effect of discounting is immaterial, impairment loss is tested for each individually significant receivable wherever there is any indication of impairment. Individually significant receivables for which no impairment loss is recognised are grouped together with all other receivables by classes based on credit risk characteristics and aged according to their past due periods. A collective allowance is estimated for a class group based on the Group’s and the Authority’s experiences of loss ratio in each class, taking into consideration current market conditions. For an unquoted equity instrument measured at cost less impairment, the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the best estimate (which will necessarily be an approximation) of the amount (which might be zero) that the Group and the Authority expect to receive for the asset if it were sold at the reporting date. The Group and the Authority may estimate the recoverable amount using an adjusted net asset value approach. (m) Leased assets (i) Finance lease Leases in terms of which the Group or the Authority assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequently to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent lease payments are recognised as expenses in the statements of comprehensive income in the periods in which they are incurred. Leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease is classified as property, plant and equipment, or as investment property which is held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 SALCRA 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 57


4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (m) Leased assets (continued) (ii) Operating Lease Leases, where the Group or the Authority does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases and, except for property interest held under operating lease, the leased assets are not recognised on the statement of financial position. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, except for lease arrangement where the operating lease payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation. Lease incentives received are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. Contingent rentals are charged to the statements of comprehensive income in the reporting period in which they are incurred. Leasehold land which in substance is an operating lease is classified as prepaid lease payments. (n) Income Tax Tax payable is determined by each individual entity in the Group. Current tax for current and prior periods, to the extent unpaid, is recognised as a current tax liability. If the amount already paid in respect of current and prior period exceeds the amount due for those periods, the excess is recognised as a current tax asset. Current tax liability/(asset) is measured at the amount the entity expects to pay/ (recover) using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted as of the reporting date. A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from: (a) the initial recognition of goodwill; or (b) 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/(loss) nor taxable profit/(loss). The exceptions for initial recognition differences include items of property, plant and equipment that do not qualify for capital allowances and acquired intangible assets that are not deductible for tax purposes. However, taxable temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and branches are not recognised if the parent or an entity in the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. A deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised, unless the deferred tax asset arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit/(loss) nor taxable profit/(loss). The exceptions for the initial recognition differences include non-taxable Government grants received and reinvestment allowances and investment tax allowances on qualifying property, plant and equipment. However, for deductible temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and branches, a deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that, it is probable that the temporary differences will be reversed in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. A deferred tax asset is also recognised for the carry-forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Unused tax credits do not include unabsorbed reinvestment allowances and unabsorbed tax allowances because the Group treats these as part of the initial recognition differences.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (n) Tax Assets and Tax Liabilities Deferred taxes are measured using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which an entity in the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets or liabilities. For an investment property, measured at fair value, if the owner-entity in the Group does not have a business model to hold the property solely for rental income, the deferred tax liability on the fair value gain is measured on the presumption that the property is recovered through sale at the end of the reporting period. At the end of the reporting period, the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed, and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of a part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilised. Any such reduction will be reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available. A current or deferred tax is recognised as income or expense in profit or loss for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from items recognised outside profit or loss. For an income or expense item recognised in other comprehensive income, the current or deferred tax expense or tax income is recognised in other comprehensive income. For items recognised directly in equity, the related tax effect is also recognised directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from a business combination, including tax effects of any fair value adjustment, are recognised as part of the net assets acquired. (o) Employee Benefits The Group and the Authority recognise a liability when an employee has provided service in exchange for employee benefits to be paid in the future and an expense when the Group and the Authority consume the economic benefits arising from service provided by an employee in exchange for employee benefits. (i) Short-Term Employee Benefits Wages and salaries are usually accrued and paid on a monthly basis and are recognised as an expense, unless they relate to cost of producing inventories or other assets. Paid absences (annual leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, sick leave, etc.) are accrued in each period if they are accumulating paid absences that can be carried forward, or in the case of non-accumulating paid absences, recognised as and when the absences occur. Bonus payments are recognised when, and only when, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. (ii) Post-Employment Benefits- Defined Contribution Plans As required by law, the Group and the Authority make contribution to the State pension schemes, namely, the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”) and Pension Fund, which are recognised as an expense in the statements of comprehensive income as incurred. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 SALCRA 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 59


4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (p) Provisions The Group and the Authority recognise a liability as a provision if the outflows required to settle the liability are uncertain in timing or amount. A provision for warranty costs, restoration costs, restructuring costs, onerous contracts or lawsuit claims is recognised when the Group and the Authority have a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and of which the outflows of resources on settlement are probable and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. No provision is recognised if these conditions are not met. Any reimbursement attributable to a recognised provision from a counter-party (such as an insurer) is not off-set against the provision but recognised separately as an asset when, and only when, the reimbursement is virtually certain. A provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. For a warranty provision, a probability-weighted expected outcome of the resources required to settle the obligation is applied, taking into account the Group’s and the Authority’s experiences of similar transactions and supplemented with current facts and circumstances. For a restoration provision, where a single obligation is being measured, the Group and the Authority use the individual most likely outcome as the best estimate of the liability by reference to current prices that contractors would charge to undertake such obligations, and taking into account likely future events that may affect the amount required to settle an obligation. For an onerous contract, a provision is measured based on the amount by which costs to fulfil the contract exceed the benefits. For a lawsuit provision, a probability-weighted expected outcome is applied in the measurement, taking into account past court judgements made in similar cases and advice of legal experts. A provision is measured at the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation using a discount rate that reflects the time value of money and the risk that the actual outcome might differ from the estimate made. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an interest expense. (q) Investment property Investment property which is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, is measured initially at its cost. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement. After recognition as investment property, items of investment property whose fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort are measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment property measured at fair value, it is thereafter accounted for as property, plant and equipment in accordance with Section 17 of the MPERS. The carrying amount of the investment property on that date becomes its cost. (r) Borrowing Costs The Group and the Authority do not recognise Government grants, including non-monetary grants at fair value, until there is reasonable assurance that the Group and the Authority will comply with the conditions attaching to the grants and the grants will be received. The Group’s and the Authority’s Government grants include Government assistance for participation in social projects in undeveloped areas which may have no conditions specifically relating to the Group’s and the Authority’s operating activities. On initial recognition of a Government loan at below-market interest rate, the difference between the nominal value of the loan and its fair value is treated as a deferred income and amortised to the statements of comprehensive income annually at an amount equivalent to the interest expense incurred over the term of the loan.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (r) Borrowing Costs (continued) A grant that takes the form of a transfer of a non-monetary asset, such as a land, is measured at the fair value of the asset if the fair value is readily determinable. Otherwise, it is recorded at the nominal amount paid. Grants related to non-monetary assets and other grants received but not yet recognised in the statements of comprehensive income are presented as a deferred income and recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the related assets or over the terms of the grants received, whichever is applicable. (s) Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs of the Group and the Authority include interest on loans, finance lease liabilities and interest expense of other debt instruments calculated using the effective interest method. All borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred except for the government loans as disclosed in Note 20 (ii). (t) Revenue Recognition and Measurement The Group’s revenue comprises sales of crude palm oil and palm kernel, fresh fruit bunches, fertilizer, provision of transportation services for agricultural products and services of engineering contracts with customers. The Group and the Authority measure revenue from a sale of goods or a service transaction at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, which is usually the invoice price, net of any trade discounts and volume rebates given to the customer. For a multiple-element contract with a customer, the fair value of the consideration receivable is allocated to the identifiable elements on the relative stand-alone selling price basis. Revenue from a sale of goods and services is recognised when: (a) the Group or the Authority has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; (b) the Group or the Authority retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; (c) the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably; (d) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group or the Authority; and (e) the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenue from other incidental agricultural activities is recognised when services are rendered. Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, and associated costs. For rendering of a construction service in respect of land development, road upgrading and construction of plantation staff quarters and bridges that is performed over time, when the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised over time by reference to the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period. The method used to measure the stage of completion is the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the contract. When the outcome of a service contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable. Other income items of the Group, presented separately from revenue, are recognised using the following bases: (a) Interest income from a debt instrument is recognised using the effective interest method; (b) Rental income is recognised on an accrual basis when the services are rendered; and (c) Dividend from an equity investment is recognised when the Group’s or the Authority’s right, as a shareholder of the investee, is established, which is the date the dividend is appropriately authorised.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (u) Fair Value Measurement For assets, liabilities and equity instruments (whether financial or non-financial items) that require fair value measurement or disclosure, the Group and the Authority establish a fair value measurement hierarchy that gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets, liabilities or equity instruments and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. A fair value measurement of an item is estimated using a quoted price in an active market if that price is observable. The active market is principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability; and for which the Group and the Authority can enter into a transaction for the asset or liability at the price in that market at the measurement date. In the absence of an active market price, the fair value of an item is estimated by an established valuation technique using inputs from the marketplace that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. In the absence of both market price and observable inputs, a fair value measurement of an item is estimated by an established valuation technique using unobservable inputs, including internally developed assumptions that are reasonable and supportable. (v) Critical Judgements and Estimation Uncertainties (i) Judgements and Assumptions Applied Classification of Finance and Operating Leases The Group and the Authority classifies a lease as a finance lease or an operating lease based on the criterion of the extent to which significant risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset lies. As a lessee, the Group and the Authority recognises a lease as a finance lease if it is exposed to significant risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. In applying judgements, the Group and the Authority considers whether there is significant economic incentive to exercise a purchase option and any optional renewal periods. A lease is classified as a finance lease if the lease term is for at least 75% of the economic life of the underlying asset, the present value of the lease payments is at least 90% of the fair value of the underlying asset, or the identified asset in the lease is a specialised asset which can only be used substantially by the lessee. All other leases that do not result in a significant transfer of risks and rewards are classified as operating leases. The Group and the Authority classifies a lease of land as a finance lease if the fair value of the leasehold land is 90% or more of the fair value of an equivalent freehold land or if the lease period, determined at the inception of the lease, is 50 years or more. Leases of land that do not meet any of these criteria are classified as operating leases. (ii) Estimation Uncertainties The measurement of some assets and liabilities requires management to use estimates based on various observable inputs and other assumptions. The areas or items that are subject to significant estimation uncertainties of the Group and the Authority are in measuring: (a) provisions; (b) value-in-use of non-financial assets in impairment testing; (c) impairment losses of financial assets; (d) depreciation of property, plant and equipment; (e) measurement of income taxes; (f) measurement of defined benefit liabilities; (g) impairment or write-down of slow-moving and obsolete inventories; and (h) measurement of revenue and expenses in construction contracts. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 62 SALCRA 2022 ANNUAL REPORT


4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (t) Critical Judgements and Estimation Uncertainties (continued) (ii) Estimation Uncertainties (continued) (a) Measurement of a Provision The Group and the Authority use a “best estimate” as the basis for measuring a provision. The management evaluates the estimates based on the Group’s and the Authority’s historical experiences and other inputs or assumptions, current developments and future events that are reasonably possible under the particular circumstances. In the case when a provision relates to large population of customers (such as a warranty provision), a probability-weighted estimate of the outflows required to settle the obligation is used. In the case of a single estimate (such as a provision for environmental restoration costs), a referenced contractor’s price or market price is used as the best estimate. If an obligation is to be settled over time, the expected cash outflows are discounted at a rate that takes into account the time value of money and the risk that the actual outcome might differ from the estimate made. (b) Determining the Value-in-Use The Group and the Authority allocate goodwill to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. In determining the value-in-use of a cash-generating unit, management uses reasonable and supportable inputs about sales, costs of sales and other expenses based upon past experiences, current events and reasonably possible future development. Cash flows are projected based on those inputs and discounted at an appropriate discount rate(s). The actual outcome or event may not coincide with the inputs or assumptions and the discount rate applied in the measurement, and this may have a significant effect on the Group’s and the Authority’s financial position and results. (c) Impairment losses of Financial Assets The Group and the Authority recognise impairment losses for loans and receivables using the incurred loss model. Individually significant loans and receivables are tested for impairment separately by estimating the cash flows expected to be recoverable. All others are grouped into credit risk classes and tested for impairment collectively, using the Group’s and the Authority’s past experiences of loss statistics, ageing of past due amounts and current economic trends. The actual eventual losses may be different from the allowance made and this may affect the Group’s and the Authority’s financial position and results. (d) Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is depreciated on the straight-line method or another systematic method that reflects the consumption of the economic benefits of the asset over its useful life. Estimates are applied in the selection of the depreciation method, the useful lives and the residual values. The actual consumption of the economic benefits of the property, plant and equipment may differ from the estimates applied and this may lead to a gain or loss on an eventual disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment. (e) Measurement of Income Taxes Significant judgement is required in determining the Group’s and the Authority’s provision for current and deferred taxes because the ultimate tax liability for the Group and the Authority as a whole is uncertain. When the final outcome of the tax payable is determined with the tax authorities in each jurisdiction, the amounts might be different from the initial estimates of the tax payable. Such differences may impact the current and deferred tax in the period when such determination is made. The Group and the Authority will adjust for the differences as over or under provision of current or deferred taxes in the current period in which those differences arise.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (v) Critical Judgements and Estimation Uncertainties (ii) Estimation Uncertainties (continued) (f) Defined Benefit Liabilities or Assets The measurement of the present value of defined benefit obligations is based on a number of assumptions and factors. The assumptions used in the measurements of the defined benefit costs and the related liabilities include projected employee salaries, employee turnover, inflation, interest cost and an appropriate discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will have an impact on the carrying amount of the defined benefit obligations. (g) Impairment or Write-Down of Slow-Moving and Obsolete Inventories The Group and the Authority write down its slow-moving and obsolete inventories based on assessment of their fair value less costs to sell. Inventories are written down when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Management uses its judgement to analyse past sales trend and current economic trends to evaluate the adequacy of the impairment loss for slow-moving and obsolete inventories. The actual impairment loss can only be confirmed in any subsequent sales of those inventories and this may differ from the estimates made earlier. This may affect the Group’s and the Authority’s financial position and results. (h) Measurement of Revenue and Expenses in Construction Contracts The Group and the Authority applies the percentage of completion method to account for all of its construction contracts with customers. This method requires reliable estimation of future outcomes that invariably must rely on estimates of state of completion, future revenues, future costs, and collectability of progress billing. Internal budgets and forecasts are used in these estimates. The actual outcome will only be known when a contract is completed and all units sold to customers, and this actual outcome may not coincide with the estimates made. (i) Deferred Tax Assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for unabsorbed tax losses, unutilised capital allowance and temporary deductible differences. As those deferred tax assets can only be recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised, management’s judgement and estimation are required to assess the probability of future taxable profits. Management’s assessment is constantly reviewed and deferred tax assets are recognised if it becomes probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. In previous financial year, the management had recognised in total RM13,473,000 deferred tax assets in the financial statements as the management assessed it is probable to have such taxable profits available to utilise the unused tax credits due to significant increase in profit as a result of significant increase in world crude palm oil price. Nevertheless, during the financial year, the market price of crude palm oil has decreased and it is forecasted to be further decreased in the year 2023. Due to decreased in crude palm oil price and increase in production costs, the management is of the view that it is not probable to have future taxable profits to utilise the unused tax credits. In view of the changes of the management estimates, the tax expenses for the current financial year increased by RM13,473,000 due to derecognition of the deferred tax assets recognised in previous financial year.
