CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
TO SHAREHOLDERS

"I would like to take this opportunity


to urge all of us associated with TNB to
redouble our efforts during this difficult
time to better demonstrate the value we
create for all Malaysians."

During this difficult time, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) continued to deliver
on our role as the country’s national power provider and ensured access to
reliable and affordable power, keeping the lights on for all Malaysians. I am
pleased to report that we have passed this challenge with flying colours and
credit must go to our staff who have shown the utmost dedication this past
year to TNB’s vision and mission.

Indeed, this is a point that I would like to stress to all our stakeholders. Just
as TNB has a responsibility to the rakyat, so do we as directors, officers and
staff have a responsibility to TNB to ensure that the company meets all its
commitments and aspirations to provide sustainable and reliable energy to
the nation. Our obligation and fiduciary duties are therefore owed to the
company, which, likewise, has a duty to both the country and to you, our
shareholders. It is for this reason that we must demand that the highest
standards of corporate governance be observed throughout the entire TNB
organisation—from the Chairman of the Board to our ground staff responsible
for our operations.

I would like to take this opportunity to urge all of us associated with TNB to
redouble our efforts during this difficult time to better demonstrate the value
we create for all Malaysians.
To achieve our aspiration, TNB strives to provide sustainable and reliable energy

our staff, the latter primarily through the Tabung Warga TNB Prihatin, raised more than RM4 million for the
less fortunate affected by the pandemic and the floods. It is this type of dedication and mindfulness that
goes above and beyond the call of duty which truly demonstrates the value that we, as an organisation,
aspire to create for our stakeholders.

by 2030 compared to 2005 level. The Malaysian Government had stepped up its climate change commitments—to not only work towards
becoming a carbon neutral nation by as early as 2050, but also intends to reduce its economy-wide
carbon intensity (against GDP) of 45% in 2030 compared to 2005 level. This target is an increase of
10% from the previous submission to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC). We applaud the Government’s ambitious target, and have pledged our support of this goal by
announcing our own net zero emission target that is integral to TNB Sustainability Pathway 2050 (SP2050)
- our roadmap which sets out our sustainability commitments and aspiration while simultaneously
futureproofing our business.

Under the SP2050, TNB aspires to achive net zero emissions by 2050, as well as to reduce 35% of our
emissions intensity and 50% our coal generation capacity by 2035. We will no longer be investing in
greenfield coal plants and aspire to be completely coal-free by our 2050 target year. In addition to the
environmental aspiration, the SP2050 also integrates the other two pillars of sustainability, namely social
and governance to transform TNB into a socially responsible company that exemplifies the highest
standards of governance at all levels of our organisation.

STRATEGY PROGRESS AND UPDATE

Incorporating Sustainability Pathway 2050

In 2021, TNB entered into the second leg of its transformational journey under Reimagining TNB, which remains our primary corporate strategy driving and
guiding our organisation forward. Nevertheless, we recognise that sustainability has grown in priority over the last few years, and we have introduced our
Sustainability Pathway 2050 (SP2050) plan which establishes our sustainability commitments and aspirations building on our energy transition journey
under Reimagining TNB.

SP2050 does not replace Reimagining TNB as our corporate strategy but complements it by setting out our sustainability direction and plans to future-proof
our business. It outlines our long-term sustainability goals over the next 30 years, including our aspiration to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. In addition,
SP2050 also outlines our intermediate goal of reducing 35% of our emissions intensity and 50% of our coal generation capacity by 2035. This is in addition
to our pledge to no longer invest in greenfield coal-fired power plants.

Additional details for SP2050 will be fleshed out in 2022 to chart the long-term plan for the future sustainability of our businesses.

For more information, please refer to Sustainability Statement section, page 130.

Our initiatives are guided by our strategic pillars representing our core business activities described under Reimagining TNB. I am pleased to report that we
have delivered on these commitments in 2021, and would like to highlight some of our value creation activities in these areas.

Putting Sustainability First

TNB has stepped up the delivery of our sustainability


initiatives in line with our SP2050 targets. At the same time,
Reimagining TNB initiatives complemented the global call to
arms to take real and significant action to mitigate the impact
of climate change. As mentioned earlier, our overall strategy
puts sustainability as one of the core principles in all that we
do, from the generation and distribution of electricity to our
front-facing customer initiatives.

As part of our efforts to further encourage greater


sustainability of our environmental resources, we have
stepped up our efforts to help accelerate Malaysia's transition
to electric mobility to help in the decarbonisation of the
transportation sector. We believe that the decarbonisation
effort would require an all-of-government and all-of-society
approach to work, and hence in 2021, we have started the
ball rolling through the signing of three Memoranda of
Understanding (MoU) with several private companies who
are keen to explore EV in Malaysia. We have also submitted a Dato' Sri Hassan bin Arifin (centre) and Datuk Ir. Baharin bin Din (left) being briefed by the

THE MARKET LANDSCAPE

The COVID-19 pandemic had a


significant impact on Malaysia's overall
economic and sectoral development.
The electricity sector had to adapt,
reassess and re-strategise its long-
term plans to ensure the uninterrupted
operation of the power system while
supporting national recovery.
Another main focus for the energy sector in 2021 was to support the
Government’s economic recovery plan, specifically in regard to its
efforts to safeguard, restart and reshape the Malaysian economy.

Electricity demand in 2021 grew by 1.2% to 111,858GWh from 2020


owing to the resumption of economic activities. Demand is expected
to further grow as the economic recovery intensifies, projected by
Bank Negara Malaysia to be around 5.5% to 6.5% in 2022, up from 3.1%
in 2021. The following sections discuss some of the major trends that
affected the power market landscape in Malaysia. TNB is committed and thus shares a similar target with the Government's pledge in
the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

THE MARKET LANDSCAPE

INCENTIVE BASED REGULATION (IBR)

The IBR was introduced in 2014 to modernise the electricity supply industry
in Malaysia. It does so by creating a structured and transparent framework for
the setting of tariffs, which secures affordable, reliable and sustainable energy
for our customers, while taking into consideration the capital expenditure
(CAPEX) and operational expenditure incurred by power owners. Through
the IBR, utility companies are accorded the resources to invest and further
upgrade their generation and distribution infrastructure without jeopardising
the energy security of Malaysians.

The IBR sets a base tariff and an Imbalance Cost Pass-Through (ICPT), which
factors in the fluctuation in fuel prices, for a stipulated duration, i.e. the
regulatory period. The Second Regulatory Period (RP2) ended in 2020 and was
due to be replaced by Regulatory Period 3 (RP3) in 2021. Due to the pandemic,
the Government approved a one-year extension to RP2, extending it until
31 December 2021. As a result, the base tariff of 39.45 sen/kWh and the
Electricity Tariff Schedule was maintained for the year.

Alongside the base tariff approval in RP2, the Government had also approved TNB’s
CAPEX of approximately RM7.3 billion for regulated business during the extension.

This covered our spending on several projects, including:

• installing smart meters with an additional 300,000 meters

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project;

• replacing tools and protective equipment, maintaining live lines

FUTURE GENERATION The development of future generation sources


is critical for the transition to greener and more

SOURCES sustainable power.


While energy transition is inevitable, it must nevertheless be managed
carefully to ensure that it addresses the trilemma of energy security,
reliability and sustainability while remaining affordable to the rakyat.

OVERVIEW
In 2021, TNB produced a total of 108,633.54GWh of which 92,538.31GWh
was generated from coal and gas sources, 7,458.22GWh from hydro sources
and 1,163.85GWh from solar and wind sources. Total renewable energy
(RE) made up 7.94% of the total sent out in 2021. We remain committed to
our goal of having RE make up 40% of our total capacity mix by 2025, and
to that end, we are continuing with our efforts to increase our investment
into RE generation by exploring new markets and technologies (e.g.,
offshore wind).

OUTLOOK
In terms of our local generation capabilities, we will continue to focus our efforts on maintaining reliability excellence to achieve high availability and
reliability of our key assets. In practical terms, this means meeting all obligations stipulated under the Power Purchase Agreement while ensuring that our
assets perform at optimal levels. We will also be on the lookout to grow our asset base and expand our services in several key areas, including asset-light
services, clean and green plant-ups and repowering opportunities, while exploring new business ventures. Finally, we will also continue with our plant
turnaround programme and implement initiatives to further uplift productivity.

On the international front, we will continue to look for opportunities to grow our RE portfolio while simultaneously exploring new classes of energy
transition-related investments, including energy storage. In terms of our target markets, we will continue to focus on key strategic markets where we
already have a presence, such as the UK. Nonetheless, we are not restricting ourselves to only investing in those markets, as we recognise that there may
be opportunities in other markets and countries with growing global interest in RE from both the supply and demand sides.

OUTLOOK
Retail Division's initiatives going forward will be guided by five identified retail roles:

• Principal Energy Provider: As the default energy supplier, we will ensure continuity of supply, delivering efficient and effective products and services to all customers
• Preferred Retailer: We aim to be the preferred retailer providing a reliable supply of energy to a selected pool of large key industrial and commercial customers, and
support their activities by providing premium and personal customer service
• Digital Retailer: We will deploy connected data solutions to engage and provide value-added services to our customers and enhance their experience with TNB
• Gentailer: We operate at both ends of the retail value chain through the ownership of RE generation assets and through retailing the generated energy which allows us
to hedge against the market
• Solutions Innovator: We will develop and offer tailored customer solutions based on our values, and develop innovative solutions and services to improve business growth

Our aim in developing these roles is to attain commercially sustainable and scalable returns for our regulated business, as well as new and recurring revenue from the market
for our non-regulated business. Our approach will take differentiated approaches to better market ourselves to the various customer segments, and will see the development
of innovative digital solutions to further grow our footprint.

FUTURE PROOF
Imbalance Cost Pass Through (ICPT) Updates

REGULATIONS
The Government maintained the ICPT rebate of 2.0 sen/kWh
throughout 2021 in view of the overall reduction in actual power
generation cost leading up to June 2021 for all customers, including
residential customers with monthly consumption of less than 300kWh.
The balance or excess from total ICPT savings for the period was
channelled to the Kumpulan Wang Industri Elektrik (KWIE) which is
responsible for ensuring the stability of the electricity tariff. Funds
from KWIE were therefore deployed following the spike in fuel prices in
the second half of 2021, with coal prices exceeding USD200 per tonne,
causing fuel and generation cost to increase by RM1.67 billion.

While the spike in fuel prices would typically send the ICPT into a
surcharge position, the Government decided to maintain the tariff rate
and the 2.0 sen/kWh rebate for residential customers for the first half
of 2022. This decision was made in view of the challenges posed by
the pandemic and severe flooding in several states at the end of the
year which had substantial financial implications for a large segment
of society. A total of RM715 million has been allocated from KWIE to
maintain the rebate and absorb the ICPT surcharge. Commercial and
industrial users, however, will be imposed a surcharge of 3.7 sen/kWh to
reflect the increased generation cost.

STRATEGIC REVIEW

Enhancing Malaysia’s RE Sector

There has been a renewed urgency over the past few years to accelerate the development of RE as worries over climate change continue to grow. TNB
has likewise accelerated its efforts to develop the sector, further encouraged by the Government’s aspiration to reach net zero status as early as 2050.
Key developments in 2021 are as follows:

• Under the 12th Malaysia Plan (RMKe-12), the Government has committed to increase RE to account for 31% of total installed capacity by 2025. The nation
has also committed to reduce its GHG emission intensity—as a ratio of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)—by 45% by 2030, relative to its 2005 levels.
It also seeks to become a carbon neutral country as early as 2050.
• KeTSA launched the Malaysia Renewable Energy Roadmap (MyRER) which seeks to further decarbonise the Malaysian energy supply industry by 2035. Under
MyRER, emissions intensity, as a ratio of GDP, is expected to further reduce to 60% while RE share of generation capacity will increase to 41% by 2035.
• KeTSA introduced the new Net Energy Metering 3.0 programme (NEM 3.0) for the installation of rooftop solar panels. The quota allocated for NEM 3.0
is 800MW, which has been divided into three categories:
- NEM Rakyat (100MW) for residential customers,
- NEM Gomen (100MW) for government buildings, and
- NEM NOVA (600MW) for commercial and industrial customers.
• The Energy Commission shortlisted 30 companies in 2021 for the development of the Large Scale Solar 4@MEnTARI project (LSS4), with a capacity of
823.06MW out of the offered capacity of 1,000MW. Our wholly-owned subsidiary TNB Renewable Sdn Bhd was shortlisted for a 50MW block for LSS4.

OUTLOOK
The Government has approved the commencement of RP3 under IBR beginning 1 February 2022, that will run until 31 December 2024. We managed to
secure a fair Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) and sufficient expenditure allowance for the next three years. We believed that the allowed capital
expenditure for RP3 is set to bring significant economic benefits towards stimulating the nation's economic recovery, and we will do our utmost to properly
utilise the allowance towards the benefit of the nation.

We will also continue working with various stakeholders, including the Government, to facilitate the roll-out of EV-friendly policies in line with the
Government's plans highlighted in RMK-12 and the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint 2021-2030 announced by the Ministry of Environment and Water. We
believe that the Government has recognised the importance of green mobility, as seen from the launch of its Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint in 2021, and
TNB is committed to nurturing this budding industry. As the largest utility in Peninsular Malaysia, we recognise our crucial role as a catalyst for EV adoption,
especially through the provision of EV charging infrastructure.

We remain confident that we can stay ahead in navigating key challenges including the risks posed by climate change and the pandemic, while continuing
our efforts to ensure energy reliability and balancing energy affordability and sustainability, in addressing the Energy Trilemma.

Helping Drive the Nation Towards Electric Mobility


TNB is committed to help accelerate the adoption of electric mobility
in Malaysia, in line with our government's effort to decarbonise the
transportation and logistics sector. In 2021, we established TNB’s Electric
Vehicle Program Management Office in July 2021, which reports directly
to TNB’s EV Council. The EV Council is chaired by our President/Chief
Executive Officer and most members of TNB’s top management sit as
council members to ensure that EV initiatives and plans are executed in
line with our overall strategy. Additionally, we presented a white paper
on EV to seven Government ministries to stimulate greater interest in the
sector and accelerate the pace of development.

TNB was also invited to sit as a permanent member of the EV National


Task Force by MITI, putting us in a strong position to steer and guide the
development of the industry. We also worked closely with the government
and regulators to establish a Malaysian EV charging standard. Meanwhile,
we have started exploring various options to boost EV adoption within our
organisation. Measures under consideration include fleet transitions as well
as ecosystem and infrastructure development.

We recognise that a collaborative approach is necessary for the industry


to flourish and have signed a number of Memoranda of Understanding
with various partners, including Sime Darby Motors, SoCAR and DHL, to
collaborate on EV development. EV adoption is also being championed by
the Zero Emission Vehicle Association (ZEVA), a new association formed by
TNB that is open to all parties interested in the green vehicle space.

We expect to see greater development in the EV space as interest in the


industry takes off, and we are committed to working with any partners who
are capable of innovating or introducing new products and services that
can further accelerate the pace of development.

Our strong governance framework, culture and values have continued to play a critical part in enabling us to respond to the pandemic and its economic and
social impact in conjunction with safeguarding the business imperatives which underpin long-term sustainable value creation. As part of the Nation’s critical
infrastructure, our work has never been more important, and I am immensely proud of the outstanding work of our employees across the Group, as they
adjusted to their home and working lives in ways that would have seemed unimaginable before the pandemic. They have risen to the challenge of supporting
the safety of fellow employees and loved ones, whilst continuing to focus on running the business. Working together, they have provided the energy and
critical system support services that the country needs to keep the lights on and to power industry and businesses.

COVID-19 and the Board’s Response


The Board adapted to the changing ways of operating in response to the pandemic. Deploying online video conferencing, the Board held additional meetings to
oversee management’s response and understand the impact on employees, customers, suppliers and business partners. These meetings were attended by the
Group Executive Management Committee (GEMC), together with key members of senior management as necessary. Each meeting started with a report on our
employees, focusing on the measures taken to protect key workers at operational sites, and how the Company was implementing home working arrangements
where possible. The report also provided updates on the well-being of employees as they adapted to changes in their lives and working practices. The Board
also oversaw the operational response to continuing to deliver the Group’s key objectives during the pandemic.

The Board has been kept appraised of the measures being taken and appreciates the open and honest discussions with management and the collegiate
response to the pandemic. The way the business has performed during this period is a testament to the strength of the organisational structures and the
commitment and hard work of employees at all levels.

BOARD LEADERSHIP & EFFECTIVENESS

OPERATIONS OF THE BOARD


Prior to each Board meeting, the Board shall receive the Chairman Reports of each Board Committee on their deliberation and recommendation at each
meeting. This ensures that each Director is informed of the decisions made including views/comments raised. The Chairman of each Board Committee shall
then table to the Board its report and present the Committee’s recommendation for the Board’s approval accordingly. This permits the Board to raise any
comments/views on all deliberation of the Committees. All deliberations and recommendations must be minuted and approved by each Board Committee and
confirmed by the Chairman of each Board Committee at their respective Board Committee meetings. Under the guidance of the Chairman, all matters placed
before the Board are discussed openly. Presentations and advice are received frequently from senior executives within the Group and from external advisers
to facilitate the decision-making of the Board. In the year under review, the Board has considered a wide range of matters in order to meet its obligations with
discussions revolving around strategy, sustainability and operations of the Group, including that of both main operating subsidiaries, financial aspects of the
Group and on legal, compliance, governance and risk matters. In compliance with COVID-19 restrictions, Board and Committee meetings were held online/
hybrid mode throughout the year. Although this approach presented challenges, it enabled the Group’s usual high standards of governance to be maintained.
For more information, please refer to Sustainability Statement section, which can be found on pages 128 to 179 of our Integrated Annual Report (IAR).

BOARD COMPOSITION AND INDEPENDENCE


The Board has reviewed the independence of each Independent Non-Executive Director. None of the Independent Non-Executive Directors who served
during the year had any material business or other relationship with the Group, and there were no other matters that were likely to affect their independence
of character and judgement as guided by the MMLR. The Board recognises that in view of the characteristics of independence set out in the MCCG, length of
service is an important factor when considering the independence of Independent Non-Executive Directors. The Board adopts a policy that limits the tenure
of its Independent Non-Executive Directors to nine (9) years without further extension, pursuant to Step Up 5.4 of MCCG. Currently, none of the Independent
Non-Executive Directors has served the Board for more than nine (9) years.

The TNB Risk Assessment Process was applied in the assessment of the TNB Strategic Risks that may prevent the Group from achieving its Reimagining TNB
strategies, taking into account internal and external factors. Eleven (11) TNB Strategic Risks were identified and approved by the BRC in the year under review,
which are as follows:

Category No. Risk

External 1. Catastrophic disruptions from external factors


TNB business entities are exposed to unpredictable external events that could catastrophically impact business operations,
profitability and reputation. Examples of external factors are cybersecurity attack, large-scale environmental disaster, pandemic
or economic trade war.

Sustainability 2. Inability to keep pace with global Environment, Social & Governance (ESG) frameworks
It is vital that TNB aligns itself to global ESG commitments and frameworks to fulfill its purpose to brighten lives through
innovative and sustainable solutions towards a better world. Failure to do so could erode market confidence, adversely affect
employee morale and damage TNB’s brand and reputation.

AND INTERNAL CONTROL

Category No. Risk

Market 3. Drop in electricity demand


A sustained downward trend of electricity demand in the country would severely affect revenue and profitability, sustainability
of key operations and increase the risk of stranded assets across the electricity supply chain.

4. Unable to be competitive & sustainable in non-regulated businesses (international & domestic)


As TNB continues to diversify its business into non-regulated segments, both domestically and internationally, it is exposed to
markets that are highly competitive and challenging to overcome the common barriers to entry.

Customer 5. Inability to be the electricity provider of choice


TNB would not achieve its aspiration to be the leading provider of sustainable energy solutions in Malaysia if it does not increase
and retain the trust and confidence of Malaysians. Failure to do so could give rise to increasing stakeholders discontent, which
may precipitate the opening up of the entire electricity supply chain, including the network and retail segments.

Financial / 6. Ineffective capital allocation to maximise value creation


Strategy TNB could be at risk of missed opportunities, reduced financial profits and decreased market confidence resulting from biased
or ineffective capital allocation decisions. Capital allocation decisions are to be made judiciously, systematically and data-driven
to reduce risk, maximise value and give fair returns to providers of capital.

Capabilities 7. Gaps in workforce capabilities to deliver Reimagining TNB strategy


It is critical for TNB to focus on developing and deploying new institutional capabilities and increasing workforce diversity in
terms of skill sets and exposure in order to achieve the Reimagining TNB strategies, especially in diversifying into new businesses,
domestically and internationally.

8. Failure to ingrain TNB culture in employees’ behaviour in supporting Reimagining TNB strategy
Culture moulds the direction, beliefs and shared values that shapes employees’ perception, behaviour and understanding.
Failure to enliven the TNB core values in day-to-day decision-making and processes may result in decreased productivity, fraud
or bribery, silo mentality, etc.

Regulatory 9. Unfavourable energy transition & climate change policies & regulations
The Reimagining TNB strategies and targets are anchored on the domestic energy transition and climate change policies
and regulations. Unfavourable changes to these policies such as changes to the domestic Renewable Energy (RE) targets and
legislations, increased severity of non-compliance penalties for carbon emission or imposition of new regulations on carbon
pricing and energy efficiency, may impede the achievement of TNB’s energy transition strategies and targets.

10. Unfavourable Incentive Based Regulation (IBR) regime implementation & outcome
The performance of TNB’s regulated businesses are dependent on the consistent and effective implementation of the IBR
framework and related Regulatory Implementation Guidelines (RIGs). TNB’s financial position may be adversely impacted
should there be unfavourable decisions on key regulated policies such as the Imbalanced Cost Pass-Through (ICPT) and Annual
Regulatory Adjustment.

11. Regulatory Uncertainty


Due to the nature of TNB’s business, it is susceptible to decisions by regulatory stakeholders at the federal and state levels.
Business operations may be delayed or encumbered due to measures and decisions in relation to investment and divestment,
use of natural resources, right of way, etc.

ABOUT THIS STATEMENT

FY2021 has been an unprecedented year for the nation - as Malaysia continued its battle against the COVID-19 pandemic by ramping up on vaccination rates and
trying to adapt to the new normal, we were hit by one of our worst floods since 2015. During this period, we remained steadfast in our commitment to support
the community in the immediate term, whilst tackling the challenges of energy transition to drive sustainable growth that will create value for all stakeholders
in the mid-to-long-term. The path towards sustainability is an important and exciting journey which seeks to power a brighter future for all. With the launch of
our Sustainability Pathway and bold aspiration to achieve net zero by 2050, we stepped up our efforts and established numerous sustainability targets through
a roadmap which is reinforced through group-wide discipline and creative stewardship that will transform how TNB will deliver efficient, secure, clean and
affordable energy across all our operations.

As one of the utilities in the ASEAN region to commit to net zero by 2050, we now focus our efforts in electrification, digitalisation, and decarbonisation driving
measurable value across our sustainability pillars – governance, economic, environmental and social. In this Sustainability Statement (Statement), we share our
sustainability performance for the financial year ended 31st December 2021 (FY2021), including our strategies and targets moving forward.

Strong Leadership and Governing Responsibly

Governance Structure
A strong sustainability governance and leadership structure are vital to spearhead our sustainability agenda and provide us with clear and definitive
guidance to achieve our ambitious net zero aspiration. Our sustainability governance is an expansion of TNB’s Governance Model that is aligned with the
principles of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (MCCG).

In FY2021, TNB Group Governance Platform, which is the framework of TNB management committees and sub-committees was revised to delineate clear
roles and responsibilities at each level of leadership, enabling seamless decision making and implementation of sustainability across the organisation. The
previously known Sustainability Development Committee is now reformed to be the Sustainability Development Council (SDC) with the following objectives:

in FY2022, the SDC will meet every two (2) months to discuss relevant sustainability matters. The SDC will escalate the group strategic direction for
sustainability to other relevant committees and/ or the Board of Directors for approval when necessary.

In FY2021, the SDC had discussed on the following:

Remuneration policies
The Board, with the assistance of the BNRC, reviews the overall remuneration policy of the Non-Executive Directors, Executive Director and top management.

the Company. Their remuneration packages are structured to link rewards to corporate and individual performance to reflect the contributions towards
the Group’s achievements for the year.

In FY2021, TNB embarked on a phased approach to link remuneration to key sustainability KPIs to ensure accountability from the different levels of management

What Matters Most

TNB’s material sustainability matters reflect key topics that represents our most significant impacts on the economy, environment, and people, including
human rights. With an in-depth understanding of our material matters, we can better define our strategies and resource allocation plans, thereby positioning
TNB to implement meaningful actions and anticipate sustainability challenges.

Our determination of material matters begins with listening to and communicating with our diverse set of stakeholders to understand their concern.
Thereafter, we bring these considerations into our materiality processes.
To see how we engage with our stakeholders, please refer to Creating Value through Strong Governance, pages 108 to 111.

A comprehensive materiality assessment was conducted in FY2020 involving key internal stakeholders’ inputs and syndication with external stakeholders
to develop our materiality matrix. This year, we reviewed our materiality matrix with our top management and SDC to ensure continuous relevance and
alignment to TNB’s strategies, industry developments, emerging risks and opportunities, and stakeholder concerns.

The materiality review was conducted through the following process:

ESG Ratings

We recognise that sustainability is an ongoing journey to which continuous efforts are needed to support the global agenda in mitigating climate change
and achieving the SDG Goals. Various international rating agencies and analysts monitor and rate TNB’s sustainability performance based on different sets
of methodologies. These ESG ratings inform and influence the investor community as well as other interested stakeholders of TNB’s key sustainability risks
and opportunities as well as current performance. This year, for the first time, we have disclosed our key sustainability ratings so as to improve transparency
and credibility among our stakeholders. We at TNB aspire and are committed to strengthen these ratings in the near future.

and decarbonisation efforts up to 2035, while emerging green technologies become commercially
viable in the 2030s.

SP2050 was shaped through an iterative process that involved multiple strategic internal and external
stakeholder engagements with our leadership team and Board of Directors, employees and unions,
investors, and government, amongst others. The stakeholder engagements discussed the many
challenges we will undoubtedly face to decarbonise from our current coal-dependent business
model and strategies that we will deploy to achieve our net zero aspiration.

Physical climate scenario modelling was carried out for three (3) power plants (Janamanjung - Stesen Janakuasa Sultan Azlan Shah Southern Power Generation
- Sultan Ibrahim Power Plant) and a selection of 100 substations as a start. The scenario modelling analysed climate-related failure and damage risks at each
grid point of the asset sites selected to identify the spatial distribution of the eight (8) climate risks across each site.

The summary of the outcome of the scenario modelling for TNB’s assets are as follows:
• 100 substations: Riverine flooding is the dominant hazard
• TNBJ: Coastal inundation is the clear dominant hazard
• SPG: Coastal inundation is the dominant hazard. Surface water flooding is the next most significant hazard

Feature Story Nenggiri Hydroelectric Project

Nenggiri Hydroelectric Project (Nenggiri HEP) is a proposed development for 300MW hydroelectric power plant in Kelantan which is expected to commence
development in 2022 and will be completed in 2027. The project is a strategic initiative to expand TNB’s renewable assets while reducing our GHG emissions.
It will play a multi-fold role of climate risk adaptation through flood mitigation and provision of clean water supply to the surrounding community.

Nenggiri HEP is expected to generate over 351.5GWh of electricity annually. It will also avoid 244,000tCO2 emission from power generation activities.
All buildings built under this project will incorporate some aspects of energy-efficient design features in order to reduce energy consumption.

In addition to minimising environmental impacts, Nenggiri HEP is expected to create positive socioeconomic benefits such as providing electricity to rural
areas, social infrastructure, and local job opportunities. Given TNB’s experience in developing three (3) other hydro schemes, extreme care has been given in
ensuring the interests of the Orang Asli community and the wildlife that will be directly affected by the project are protected.

After completion expected in 2027, Nenggiri Hydroelectric Project shall become an important contributor to the nation’s aim of increasing the RE capacity.

Employment Management and Growth

Emphasis on Health, Safety, and Well-being


As a responsible employer, we prioritise the occupational health, safety, and welfare of our employees and contractors. We recognise their inherent human
rights beyond being vital to our operations.

Encouraging Occupational Safety and Health Practices


Safeguarding the lives of both our employees and contractors through robust occupational safety and health systems and practices remains our utmost
priority. We uphold strong safety standards to prevent Occupational injuries and diseases and strive to achieve our targets of having zero fatality at the
workplace and maintaining our LTIF rate at below 1.0. We are also prepared to mitigate the consequences of emergency situations, appropriate to the
magnitude of the emergency, and its potential impact to health, safety as well as the environment.

FY2021 Approach and key highlights:

Health, Safety and Environmental Management System (HSEMS)


We are guided by TNB’s Safety and Health Policy to implement our safety governance framework. TNB Health, Safety and Environment Management
System (HSEMS) has progressively been cascaded across divisions to ensure standardisation of HSE management and governance across the Group.

TNB Group HSE Steering Committee convenes quarterly to discuss safety performance, mitigation measures and the overall strategic direction for
HSE management at TNB.

Accident reduction programmes


In FY2021, the HSE digital platform was established for TNB employees to report any potential incidents (PI) at the workplace. This promoted early
intervention of potential incidents. Meanwhile, the Tenaga Safety Information System (TSIS), captures reports of incidents and near misses which
are then investigated for corrective and preventive actions for improvement to be identified and taken.

Key highlights for FY2021 include:

• Development of comprehensive Permit-to-Work System Guidelines • Launching of TNB Working at height guidelines, TNB Safe working
which is expected to be a game changer in preventing accidents in Confined Space Guidelines, Permit-to-Work System Guidelines

HSE Digitalisation (eHSE online system)


In line with greening our office practices, we continue to take strides towards digitalising our HSE practice by progressively rolling out modules in
preparation for the full implementation of our eHSE online system in FY2022.

Key highlights for FY2021 include:

• Development of a comprehensive chemical management system • Evaluation of Compliance (EOC Module) for our divisions to

Emergency Response – Flood

In preparation for the monsoon season, TNB released guidelines namely the Electrical Safety Guide During the Monsoon Season and Electrical Safety
Tips During Floods which details out a step-by-step guide to electrical safety during flood occurrences. Precautionary measures were taken including
flood response training for TNB personnel, strategic placement of mobile generator sets and other critical equipment, and operation of flood monitoring
rooms. TNB has also previously taken steps to raise the substation sites and build flood barriers at sub-station entrances to reduce the risk of substations
being inundated and damaged by floods.

During the devastating flash floods that affected Peninsular Malaysia in December 2021, we shut down 647 power substations across Peninsular Malaysia
due to safety considerations.

Implementing Safety Culture


We believe that safety at our workplace goes beyond standards and policies and should be embedded as a culture within our organisation. In 2021, we
attained our targeted Proactive Safety Culture Level whereby our Safety Culture Assessment (SCA) score reached >4.0 at 4.02.

Our Approach and Key Highlights for FY2021:

Tenaga Safety Culture


The Nampak, Dengar dan Rasa Selamat (NDRS) programme aims to enhance awareness on early detection or symptoms of incidents, and was initially
introduced by the Distribution Network Division in FY2020. This year, the programme was extended to TNB Group to boost the Group’s safety culture.
The NDRS model is a holistic approach towards supporting safety culture transformation which comprises of three (3) main elements (3E- Engineering,
Education & Enforcement) and two (2) consequence management aspects namely JB-Julang & Benam. In aligning our safety culture assessment
outcome with the NDRS-Julang & Benam initiatives, we have implemented HSE reward and recognition programs i.e. Potential Incident Competition,
Department HSE League and HSE Monthly Quiz to recognise the efforts and contributions of our employees in elevating HSE performance.

Life Saving Rules (LSR)


• TNB has established nine (9) life-saving rules as part of injury prevention measures since 2017:

Core Rules

Isolate, earth and test Valid permit to work Wear arc flash suit when
before touch mandatory switching

Supplementary Rules

Use fall Obtain Wear helmet/ Caution. No phones No drugs.


protection authorisation safety belt. Suspended while driving No alcohol
before entering No speeding load
confined space

• In 2021, we have further developed and issued guidelines for working at height and confined space.

Risk Assessment
• In TNB, we identify all work-related hazards, assess its related risks, and determine relevant controls are necessary, guided by the Hazard
Identification, Risk Assessment and Determining Control (HIRADC) procedure. In determining the controls required to eliminate hazards
and reduce risks, the hierarchy of controls (i.e. elimination, substitution, engineering control, administrative control and Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE)) is used. The effectiveness of the risk assessment is reviewed annually, or when there are incidents and changes in work
processes. Additionally, PI reported in the digital platform will be assessed to alleviate any potential risk.

Risk assessments conducted by TNB include:

• HSE Risk Assessment (HSERA), • Chemical Health Risk • Noise Risk Assessment (NRA) • Ergonomic Risk Assessment
Environmental Impact Assessment (CHRA) for any to identify work related (ERA) to identify ergonomic

Feature Story Together with You

Tabung Warga TNB Prihatin (TWTP) was introduced in June 2021 with an initial target of RM3 million to
provide financial aid to Malaysians whose livelihoods have been severely impacted by the COVID-19
pandemic. The funds were contributed voluntarily by TNB employees through a direct deduction of
their June or July salary, in a joint effort to provide financial assistance to our fellow Malaysians to
cope through these challenging times.

TWTP successfully raised RM1.63 million in 34 days. In enabling the campaign to have a wider
outreach, our Board of Directors unanimously agreed to double the amount donated by TNB staff,
reaching a total amount of RM3.27 million.

Collection for this TWTP was extended until the end of FY2021. As of December 2021, RM4.04 million
was successfully collected from 15,734 TNB employees with RM3.41 million having been distributed to
6,295 Malaysian citizens affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recipients of the TWTP comprised of members from the B40 group including those listed under
e-Kasih, Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM), Program Perumahan Rakyat Termiskin (PPRT) under
Ministry of Federal Territories and State Zakat centers.

RM2 million from TWTP was allocated to provide financial assistance to victims of the December 2021
flash floods.

Engaging Indigenous People


TNB has a steadfast commitment towards engaging with the communities we serve, which include Indigenous Peoples or Orang Asli communities.

Initiatives to Engage Orang Asli Communities

We actively engage communities, including the Orang Asli


communities, who live near our operation sites and roll-out
initiatives with the purpose of protecting their well-being
and generating socioeconomic benefits. To date, we have
improved connectivity in around 30 villages through the BELB
Programme which focuses on supplying power to rural areas
such as villages and Orang Asli settlements.

TNB is in the process of developing a strategic communication


tool to facilitate communication between TNB and the Orang
Asli near the Jor Reservoir (Semai Clan). The main objective
of this tool is to discuss sediment disposal works proposed
within the Orang Asli customary land and mediate any
misunderstandings that arise.

Engagement of Orang Asli Communities


regarding the development of Nenggiri
Hydroelectric Project

Nenggiri Hydroelectric Project is a 300MW


hydroelectric project in Kelantan. The construction
work has started in March 2022 and will be
completed in 2027. The project is a strategic
initiative to expand TNB’s renewable assets by
reducing our GHG emissions. It will play multi-
fold roles of climate risk adaptation through flood
mitigation and provision of continuous raw water
supply to the surrounding communities and the
State of Kelantan.

Once completed, the Nenggiri Hydroelectric


Power Plant is expected to generate an annual
minimum energy of 351.5GWh. It is estimated
that it will displace and reduce 244,000 tonnes of
CO2 that would otherwise be released by thermal
power plant operations. Additionally, all buildings
built under this project will incorporate some
aspects of energy-efficient features in order to *Picture taken before the COVID-19 pandemic
reduce energy consumption.

In addition to minimising environmental impact, the project is also expected to create positive socioeconomic benefits such as better social infrastructure and
job opportunities to the surrounding communities. Given TNB’s experience in developing three (3) other hydroelectric schemes, extreme care has been taken in
ensuring the interests of the Orang Asli, local communities and wildlife, which will be directly impacted by the project, are protected.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


31 December 2021

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

The Group and the Company are primarily involved in the business of the generation, transmission, distribution and sales of electricity and those tabulated
in Note 7 to these financial statements, which also includes the details of the subsidiaries of the Group.

There have been no significant changes in these activities of the Group and of the Company during the financial year.

The Company follows the Incentive Based Regulation (‘IBR’) framework for the regulated business.

The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities
Berhad.

The address of the registered office of the Company is Pejabat Setiausaha Syarikat, Tingkat 2, Ibu Pejabat Tenaga Nasional Berhad, No. 129, Jalan Bangsar,
59200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

2 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Malaysian Financial Reporting
Standards (‘MFRS’), International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia. The Group has taken
into consideration the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) impact and the current economic environment on the basis of preparation of these financial statements.
The Directors continue to consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in Note 3 and respective notes in the financial
statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. It also requires Directors to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the
Group’s and the Company’s accounting policies. Although these estimates and judgements are based on the Directors’ best knowledge of current events
and actions, actual results may differ. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are
significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

(a) Amendments to published standards that are effective and applicable to the Group and the Company.

The Group and the Company have applied the following amendments for the first time:

Effective for financial year beginning on 1 January 2021:

Amendments to MFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase 2
MFRS 9 Financial Instruments and MFRS 16 Leases
Amendments to MFRS 16 Leases COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions

The amendments listed above did not have any significant impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly
affect the current or future periods.

that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group and the Company.

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Unless otherwise stated, the following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items that are considered material in relation to
the financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Subsidiaries and basis of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when:
• exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity;
• has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity; and
• the existence and effect of potential voting rights are considered only when such rights are substantive when assessing control.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. On disposal
of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in the statement of profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


31 December 2021

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(a) Subsidiaries and basis of consolidation (continued)

(ii) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. The characteristics of those
financial statements are:
• the financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company.
• subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that
such control ceases.
• intragroup balances, transactions and unrealised gains or losses are eliminated in full.
• uniform accounting policies are adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for acquisition of a subsidiary
is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred
includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement and fair value of any pre-existing equity
interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities
assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

In a business combination achieved in stages, the carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured
at its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any NCI in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity
interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than
the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the gain is recognised in the statement of profit or
loss. Refer to Note 10 for accounting policy on goodwill.

NCI is the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group measures
any NCI in the acquiree either at fair value or at the NCI’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. At the end of the
reporting period, NCI consists of amount calculated on the date of combinations and its share of changes in the subsidiary’s equity since the
date of combination.

All earnings and losses of the subsidiary are attributed to the parent and the NCI, even if the attribution of losses to the NCI results in a debit
balance in the shareholders’ equity.

(iii) Changes in ownership interest

When the Group ceases to consolidate because of a loss of control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the
change in carrying amount recognised in the statement of profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes
of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously
recognised in OCI in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may
mean that amounts previously recognised in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss. Gains or losses on the disposal of subsidiaries include the
carrying amount of goodwill relating to the subsidiaries sold.

(b) Transactions with NCI

Transactions with NCI that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership
interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and NCI to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any
differences between the amount of the adjustment to NCI and any consideration paid or received are recognised in equity attributable to owners of
the Group.

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c) Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. Impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the
asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost to sell and its value in use (‘VIU’). For the purpose
of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows which are largely independent
of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). 

Non-financial assets other than goodwill previously impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. Any
subsequent increase in recoverable amount is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

(d) Research and development

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised
in the statement of profit or loss as an expense as incurred.

Expenditure on development activities, whereby the application research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or
substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised only when all of the following criteria are fulfilled:
(i) it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
(ii) management intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
(iii) there is an ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
(iv) it can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
(v) adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset are available; and
(vi) the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably measured.

Capitalised development costs are recognised as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use on a straight line
method over its useful life.

The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and overheads costs that are directly attributable to preparing the assets
for its intended use. Other development expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as incurred. Development costs previously
recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.

All other significant accounting policies are disclosed in their respective notes.

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated by the Directors and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations
of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group and the Company make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, rarely equate
to the related actual results. To enhance the information content of the estimates, certain key variables that are anticipated to have a material impact on
the Group’s and the Company’s results and financial positions are tested for sensitivity to changes in the underlying parameters.

The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next financial year are outlined below:
(a) Impairment of property, plant and equipment ('PPE')

The Group and the Company assess impairment of assets whenever the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable, i.e., the carrying amount of the asset is more than the recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is measured at the higher of the fair value less cost to sell for that asset and its VIU. The VIU is the net present value of the
projected future cash flows derived from that asset discounted at an appropriate discount rate. Projected future cash flows are based on the Group’s
and the Company’s estimates calculated based on historical, sector and industry trends, general market and economic conditions, changes in
technology and other available information.

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next financial year are outlined below: (continued)
(b) Impairment of subsidiaries and associates

The Group and the Company assess impairment of its investment in subsidiaries and associates whenever the events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable i.e. the carrying amount is more than the recoverable amount. Recoverable amount
is measured at the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and its VIU. The VIU is the net present value of the projected future cash flow derived
discounted at an appropriate discount rate. Projected future cash flows are based on the Group’s and the Company’s estimates calculated based
on historical, sector and industry trends, general market and economic conditions, changes in technology and other available information. The
assumptions used, results and sensitivity of the impairment assessments are disclosed in Notes 7 and 9.

(c) Impairment of goodwill

The Group tests goodwill for impairment annually in accordance with its accounting policy and whenever events or change in circumstances
indicate that this is necessary within the financial period. This requires an estimation of the VIU of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill is
allocated. Estimating the VIU requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash generating unit to the Group
and also to apply a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The assumptions used, results and sensitivity of
the impairment assessment of goodwill are disclosed in Note 10.

(d) Measurement of expected credit loss (‘ECL’) allowance for financial assets

The loss allowances for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group and the Company use
judgements in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group’s and the Company’s past
history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Details of key assumptions and inputs
used are disclosed in Note 45.

(e) Restoration costs of leased assets

The Group recognises a provision for restoration costs for leased assets where contracts contain an obligation to remove the asset after the end
of the contract and to restore the site to its original condition. The estimates of the restoration costs are based on the quoted price given by the
external contractor for a particular asset. The provision recognised is the present value of the estimated restoration costs discounted using a risk free
pre-tax rate. An amount equivalent to the provision is recognised within PPE and ROU assets depending on in which category the underlying asset is
recognised, and is depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. The unwinding of the discount on the provision is included in finance cost.
The details of the provision are disclosed in Note 29.

(f ) Estimation of income taxes

(i) Income tax

Income tax is estimated based on the rules governed under the Income Tax Act, 1967.

Differences in determining the capital allowances, deductibility of certain expenses and subsequent utilisation of reinvestment allowance
may arise during the estimation of the provision for income tax between tax calculated at the statement of financial position date, and the
final submission to the tax authority as a result of obtaining further detailed information that may become available subsequent to the
statement of financial position date.

Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will impact the
income tax provisions and deferred tax balance in the period in which such determination is made.

The Group and the Company have recorded tax recoverable for which the Group and the Company believe that there is a reasonable basis for
recognition. Where the final tax outcome of this matter is different from the amount that was initially recorded, such difference may cause a
material adjustment to the carrying amount of the tax recoverable balance recorded in the period in which such determination is made.

The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next financial year are outlined below: (continued)
(f ) Estimation of income taxes (continued)

(i) Income tax (continued)

On 23 November 2015, the Inland Revenue Board (‘IRB’) had disallowed the Company’s reinvestment allowance (‘RIA’) claims for the Years
of Assessment (‘YAs’) 2013 and 2014 and had issued notices of additional assessments (‘Notices’) of RM2,068.2 million to the Company. The
Company had filed an appeal to the Special Commissioners of the Income Tax (‘SCIT’) against the Notices.

On 28 November 2019, the IRB had also disallowed the Company’s RIA claims for the YAs 2015, 2016 and 2017 by issuing Notices of RM3,977.9
million to the Company. The Company had commenced a judicial review application to the High Court against the said Notices. The leave
application was heard on 5 October 2020 and pending decision, the Company was granted an interim stay against the payment of the
disputed tax.

On 30 December 2020, the Company and the IRB recorded a consent order in relation to the judicial review filed for the YAs 2015, 2016 and
2017. Pursuant to the consent order, the Court had granted a stay of proceedings against the enforcement of the IRB’s notices of additional
assessment and leave to commence judicial review. The substantive hearing which was initially fixed on 16 March 2022 has been vacated by
the High Court. The High Court proceeded to reschedule the hearing to 21 June 2022.

On 13 July 2020, the IRB had also disallowed the Company’s RIA claims for the YA 2018 by issuing notice of additional assessment of RM1,812.5
million to the Company. The Company had commenced judicial review application against the said Notices and the leave application was heard
by the High Court on 21 September 2020 and the High Court had granted leave to the Company to commence judicial review proceedings
against the IRB on 30 September 2020. On 21 January 2021, the Company and the IRB recorded a consent order in relation to the judicial
review filed for the YA 2018.

Pursuant to the consent order, the High Court has granted a stay of proceedings against the enforcement of the IRB’s notice of additional assessment.
Subsequently on 13 January 2022, the High Court heard TNB’s judicial review application and on 8 February 2022, the High Court had allowed with
cost the Company’s judicial review application to set aside the IRB’s notice of additional assessment dated 13 July 2020 for the YA 2018.

The High Court agreed with the Company’s submission that TNB is in the business of manufacturing electricity and as such, TNB is entitled to
claim RIA on the capital expenditure which was incurred in YA 2018 in the course of expanding, modernising and automating TNB’s business.
Separately on 8 February 2022, the IRB had filed a notice of appeal before the Court of Appeal against the decision of the High Court. The Court
of Appeal had fixed a case management on 28 March 2022.

As at 31 December 2021, the Group and the Company recorded a tax recoverable of RM3,522.4 million from the IRB arising from the
resubmission of tax computations for the YAs 2003 to 2006 and 2008 to 2012 pursuant to the explicit approval given by the IRB on 21 January
2013 on the eligibility of the Company in claiming the RIA and the payment of RM1,757.3 million which had been made to IRB in December
2020 in respect of YAs 2016 and 2017.

In addition, the Group and the Company have not recorded the potential additional tax liability arising from the tax impact if the RIA claimed
is disallowed and the Company loses its appeal. The realisation of this tax recoverable and the potential tax liability is dependent on the
outcome of judgement on the RIA claims by the SCIT and by the Kuala Lumpur High Court, including if there is a subsequent appeal by either
party, as disclosed in Note 42.

The Directors have performed an assessment on the tax recoverable of RM3,522.4 million and the potential tax liability based on legal view
obtained from external legal counsel and the facts surrounding its RIA claims. The Directors have exercised judgement that there is sufficient
evidence and case law to support the Company’s appeal against the Notices.

On 16 November 2021, Kapar Energy Ventures Sdn. Bhd.’s (‘KEV’) had commenced a judicial review against the Minister of Finance at the High
Court to challenge the matters on IRB disallowing the interest expenses incurred by KEV in relation to the Redeemable Unsecured Loan Stock
granted to KEV by TNB and Malakoff Corporation Berhad and KEV’s revision of revenue for the YAs 2004 to 2009.

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next financial year are outlined below: (continued)
(f ) Estimation of income taxes (continued)

(i) Income tax (continued)

Based on the legal advice obtained from its tax solicitors, KEV is of the view that it has a good basis in law to contend that the said Notices were
incorrectly raised by the IRB and on this basis the Directors are of the opinion that no provision is required in the financial statements for the
potential tax liability up to the reporting date. Further details on the judicial review are as disclosed in Note 42.

(ii) Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences or unused tax losses can be utilised. This involves judgement regarding the future financial performance of the particular entity in
which the deferred tax asset has been recognised, as disclosed in Note 12.

(g) Post-employment employee benefits

The Group and the Company provide both Retirement Benefit Plan and Post Retirement Medical Plan for certain employees. The present value of
the employee benefits obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using certain assumptions. The key
assumptions used in determining the net cost/(income) for the employee benefits include discount rate, medical claim inflation rate and salary
increment rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of employee benefits obligations, as disclosed in Note 25.

• Discount rate

The Group and the Company determine the appropriate discount rate at the end of each financial period. This is the interest rate that should
be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In
determining the appropriate discount rate, the Group and the Company consider the interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that
are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related
employee benefits obligations.

• Medical claim inflation rate

The medical claim inflation rate for general practitioner, hospitalisation, specialist and dialysis medical claims, as determined by the Group and
the Company are based on the annualised increase in average claims over the past 4 years.

• Salary increment rate

The salary increment rate for employees receiving the Retirement Benefit Plan as determined by the Group and the Company is based on
the average salary increment rate for the past 12 years and considerations for price inflation, real salary increase, promotions and Collective
Agreement (‘CA’) negotiation.

(h) Group’s sustainability pathway consideration

The Group’s sustainability pathway is to reduce emission intensity by 35.0%, halve coal generation capacity by 2035, aspire to achieve net zero
emissions and coal free by 2050. Based on this sustainability pathway, the Group has assessed whether climate change risks have affected the
reasonable and supportable assumption used to estimate the cash flow projections and the estimated useful lives of the generation assets. The
revisions and assessments in relation to the climate change and sustainability pathway do not have a material impact on the financial statements of
the Group and the Company. Further details are as disclosed in Note 5.

5 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (‘PPE’)

Accounting Policy

PPE are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to
the construction or acquisition of the items and bringing them to the location and condition so as to render them operational in the manner intended
by the Group and the Company and allocated according to its components.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the items can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

The cost of major overhaul/inspection is recognised in the asset’s carrying amount as a replacement and the remaining carrying amount of the
previous major overhaul/inspection is derecognised.

Major spare parts and standby equipment are recognised as assets when the Group and the Company expect to use for more than one period.
Similarly, if the spare parts and servicing equipment can be used only in connection with an item of PPE, they are accounted for as PPE.

Gains or losses on disposal of PPE are determined by reference to their carrying amount and are included in profit or loss.

Freehold land and capital work-in-progress are not depreciated. Other PPE are depreciated on the straight line method to allocate the cost to their
residual values over their estimated useful lives, summarised as follows:
Buildings and civil works 10 - 60 years
Plant and machinery 3 - 50 years
Lines and distribution mains 10 - 60 years
Distribution services 25 years
Meters 10 - 15 years
Public lighting 15 - 25 years
Furniture, fittings and office equipment 3 - 15 years
Motor vehicles 5 - 15 years

Residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, on an annual basis.

At the end of the reporting period, the Group and the Company assess whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indications exist, an
analysis is performed to assess whether the carrying amount of the asset is fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount
exceeds the recoverable amount (Note 3(c)).

The Group has revised the estimated useful lives of generation assets based on the trend within the power generation industry and the Group’s
sustainability pathway. Accordingly, the useful lives of the gas fired power plants’ plant and machinery and hydro power plant dams have been
extended for additional 5 years and 40 years respectively, based on the track records and research information available. There was a revision to the
useful lives of the coal fired power plants related assets which is in line with the Group’s aspiration to discontinue coal plants.

6 RIGHT-OF-USE (‘ROU’) ASSETS

Accounting Policy

A lease is a contract, or part of a contract, whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of
time in exchange for consideration.

To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group and the Company assess whether:
• The contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent
substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier (‘lessor’) has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not
identified;
• The customer (‘lessee’) has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
• The customer (‘lessee’) has the right to direct the use of the asset. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is
used is predetermined, the customer (‘lessee’) has the right to direct the use of the asset if either the customer (‘lessee’) has the right to operate
the asset; or the customer designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

The Group and the Company as lessees

The Group and the Company lease various buildings, plant and machinery, furniture and fittings, office equipment and motor vehicles. These leases
have tenures between 1 and 25 years. Lease terms are generally negotiated on an individual basis. As for leasehold land, the remaining period of the
respective leases ranges from 4 to 99 years.

(i) Initial recognition

The Group and the Company recognise a ROU asset and a lease liability for all leases conveying the right to control the use of an identified asset
for a period of time.

The ROU assets recognised by the Group and the Company are initially recorded at cost, which comprise the following:
• The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
• Any lease payments made on or before the commencement date of the lease, less any lease incentives received;
• Any initial direct costs incurred by the Group and the Company; and
• An estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group and the Company in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site
on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the lessor.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are
discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
• Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
• Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;
• Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
• The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
• Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

6 RIGHT-OF-USE (‘ROU’) ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Accounting Policy (continued)

The Group and the Company as lessees (continued)

(ii) Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, the Group and the Company measure ROU assets at cost:
• Less any accumulated depreciation;
• Less any accumulated impairment losses; and
• Adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.

The Group and the Company measure the lease liability by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the
carrying amount to reflect lease payments made, and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessments or lease modifications.

(iii) Extension and termination options

Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases across the Group. In determining the lease
term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a
termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain
to be extended (or not terminated).

The assessment of reasonable certainty is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this
assessment and that is within the control of the lessee.

The Group and the Company have elected not to recognise ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group and the Company apply MFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract
based on the stand-alone selling prices.

A ROU asset and its corresponding lease liability are recognised at the date the leased asset is available for used by the Group and the Company. Each
lease payment is allocated between the principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a
constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The ROU asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s
useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

At the end of the reporting period, the Group and the Company assess whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exist, an
analysis is performed to assess whether the carrying amount of the asset is fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount
exceeds the recoverable amount (Note 3(c)).

(b) Movement in accumulated impairment losses for investments in subsidiaries: (continued)


(ii) Impairment assessment for TPD

The impairment of investment in TPD amounting to RM120.5 million has been derecognised upon completion of the divestment on 30
November 2021.

(iii) Impairment assessment for Power and Energy International (Mauritius) Ltd. (‘PEIM’)

During the financial year, the Company had undertaken the impairment assessment of its investment in PEIM, an investment holding
company. The impairment assessment was triggered by the impairment of one of its significant associate, GMR Energy Limited (‘GEL’) for both
current and preceding financial years (Note 9 (b)). Based on the impairment assessment which estimates the cash flows available for dividend
distribution from its investments in GEL and Malaysian Shoaiba Consortium Sdn. Bhd. (‘MSCSB’), the carrying amount of the Company’s
investment in PEIM as at 31 December 2021 exceeded its recoverable amount, hence additional impairment loss of RM300.2 million (2020:
RM149.0 million) was recognised in the current financial year.

The method, key assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount and the effects of changes in the key assumptions for GEL are as
disclosed in Note 9 (b).

8 JOINT ARRANGEMENTS

Accounting Policy

A joint arrangement is an arrangement over which there is contractually agreed sharing of control by the Group with one or more parties where
decisions about the relevant activities relating to the joint arrangement require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The classification of
a joint arrangement as a joint operation or a joint venture depends upon the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement. A joint venture
is a joint arrangement whereby the joint venturers have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint operations are joint arrangements whereby
the Company has the rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities. In respect of its interests in joint operations, the Company shall recognise
in its financial statements the assets that it controls and the expenses and liabilities that it incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the
sale of goods or services.

The Group’s interest in joint ventures is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting.

Equity accounting involves recognising in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of OCI and consolidated statement
of changes in equity, the Group’s share of profits less losses of the joint ventures based on the latest audited financial statements or management
accounts of the joint ventures, made up to the financial year end of the Group. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the results and net assets
of the joint ventures to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group. The Group’s investments in joint ventures are recorded
at cost inclusive of goodwill and adjusted thereafter for accumulated impairment losses and the post-acquisition change in the Group’s share of net
assets of the joint ventures.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in joint ventures.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated on the same basis but only to the extent of the costs that can be recovered, and the balances that provide
evidence of reduction in net realisable value or an impairment of the asset transferred are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

9 ASSOCIATES

Accounting Policy

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of
between 20.0% and 50.0% of the voting rights.

Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised
at cost. Equity accounting is discontinued when the Group ceases to have significant influence over the associates.

The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the statement of profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition
movements in OCI is recognised in OCI. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interests in the associate, including any long term interests that, in substance,
form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive
obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. If the associate subsequently reports profits, the Group resumes recognising its share
of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised. The Group’s investments in associates include goodwill
identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses (Note 3(c)).

Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its associates are recognised in the Group’s financial
statements only for the unrelated investor’s interests in the associates. The accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to
ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Dilution of gains and losses in associates are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously
recognised in OCI is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

(a) The Group through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vantage RE Ltd. (formerly known as Tenaga Investments UK Ltd.), has acquired 49.0% stake in
an offshore wind farm company, Blyth Offshore Demonstrator Limited (‘BODL’) from EDF Renewables, a subsidiary of the French utility company,
Électricité de France for a purchase consideration of RM674.7 million. The Group has assessed and recognised BODL as an associate of the Group
(Note 47).

(b) Impairment assessment for GEL

The Group had undertaken the impairment assessment of its investment in GEL. The assessment was initially triggered by changes in economic
outlook due to COVID-19 in 2020, which resulted in an impairment loss of RM51.6 million. During the current financial year, there were additional
indications such as poor outlook of thermal plants in India as initiatives are renewable energy focused, tight gas supply and the non-recoverability
of regulatory claims caused by uncertainty from the Government of India. Based on the impairment assessment, the carrying value of the Group’s
interest in GEL as at 31 December 2021 has been fully impaired with recognition of an additional impairment loss of RM291.8 million.

Key assumptions used

The recoverable amount was determined based on VIU calculations, which applied a discounted cash flow model of GEL Group for the period of
the remaining useful lives of the respective power plants which range between 14 to 23 years. The cash flows used in the calculations are the most
recent forecasts and projections approved by the Board of Directors and management of GEL Group.

The key assumptions used in determining the VIU were:


2021 2020

Number of operating plants 3 5


Average Plant Availability Factor (%) - 53.7
Average Plant Load Factor (%) 80.0 – 85.0 50.0 – 85.0
Cost of equity (%) 12.8 – 14.0 11.2 – 14.7

The cash flows were discounted using cost of equity based on the risk specific to the plants. The key assumptions take into account the
macroeconomic environment in India and the type of plant.

During the current financial year, there were 2 plants that were not operating and have been considered for disposal, which contributed to a
reduction in the recoverable amount of GEL.

(b) Impairment assessment for GEL (continued)

Key assumptions used (continued)

The Group’s review includes impact assessment of changes in key assumptions used. Based on that review in 2021, it was concluded that there was
no material change in the base case assumptions that would require an adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. In 2020, the effects
of the movement in the key assumptions to the recoverable amount are as follows:
Changes in Impact on

(c) During the financial year 2020, the Group acquired an additional 5.0% equity interest in VSI for a consideration of GBP5.1 million (RM28.4 million).
Consequently, the investment in VSI as an associate was deemed disposed resulting in a remeasurement gain of GBP41.9 million (RM231.3 million)
(Note 35). VSI has become a subsidiary of the Group with 55.0% equity interest (Notes 7 and 47).

10 GOODWILL ON CONSOLIDATION

Accounting Policy

Goodwill arises from a business combination and represents the excess of the aggregate of fair value of consideration transferred, the amount of any
NCI in the acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. If the fair value of consideration transferred is less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the
acquire in the case of a bargain purchase, the resulting gain is recognised in statement of profit or loss.

Goodwill is recognised in the statement of financial position as non-current asset at cost less accumulated impairment losses and tested for
impairment annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the CGUs, or groups
of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the
lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The carrying value of goodwill is compared
to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of VIU and the fair value less costs of disposal. Any impairment is recognised immediately to the
statement of profit or loss and is not subsequently reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill
relating to the entity disposed.

Impairment assessment for goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis. The carrying value of goodwill is allocated to the Group’s CGUs. The recoverable amount of the
CGU including goodwill, is determined based on its VIU. This VIU calculation applies a discounted cash flow model using cash flow projections based on
forecast approved by management. The forecasts reflect management’s expectations of revenue growth, operating costs and margins for the CGUs based
on current assessment of market share, expectations of market and industry growth.

The discount rate applied to the cash flow forecast refers to the industry’s pre-tax Weighted Average Cost of Capital (‘WACC’).

Impairment assessment for goodwill (continued)

(i) Local investments and operations goodwill

The discounted cash flow model used cash flow projections which covered a five-year period and cash flows beyond the projection years are
extrapolated using an estimated terminal growth rate.

The following key assumptions have been applied in the VIU calculation:
2021 2020
% %

Revenue growth rate 2.1 3.3


Pre-tax discount rate 9.9 7.1
Terminal growth rate 1.4 3.3

Based on the Group’s assessment, no impairment losses were required as at 31 December 2021 as the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying
amount.

The Group’s review includes an impact assessment of changes in key assumptions used. Based on the sensitivity analysis performed, it was concluded
that no reasonable change in the base case assumptions would cause the carrying amount of the CGU to exceed its recoverable amount.

(ii) Foreign investments and operations goodwill

The discounted cash flow model used cash flow projections which covered a thirty-year period.

The following key assumptions has been applied in the VIU calculation:
2021 2020

Revenue growth rate (1.6) (0.8)


Pre-tax discount rate 4.4 5.8

Based on the Group’s assessment, no impairment losses were required as at 31 December 2021 as the recoverable amounts exceeded the carrying
amounts.

recoverable amount are as follows:

12 DEFERRED TAXATION

Accounting Policy

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial
statements including those arising from business combinations. Deferred tax is not recognised on goodwill and those arising from initial recognition
of an asset or liability which at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unutilised tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences arising on investment
in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable
that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Tax benefit from reinvestment allowance is recognised when the tax credit is utilised and no deferred tax asset is recognised when the tax credit is
receivable.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the reporting period and are
expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

The Group and the Company will adopt the amendments to MFRS 112 effective 1 January 2023 and recognise deferred tax on its lease transactions
of which the company is a lessee. The Group and the Company will recognise a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for any temporary
differences arising on initial recognition of a lease transaction. Where applicable, a deferred tax asset is recognised as the Group and the Company is
able to benefit from the tax deductions in the future. Any differences between the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability will be recognised in
the profit and loss. Upon adopting the amendments, the Group and the Company do not expect material adjustments to the retained earnings as the
initial recognition of the lease transactions gave rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences.

15 LEASES

Accounting Policy

(a) The Group and the Company as lessors

When the Group and the Company act as lessors, they determine at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

To classify each lease, the Group and the Company make an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and
rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; otherwise, then it is an operating
lease.

Operating leases
Leases where the Group and the Company retain substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets are classified as
operating leases. The Group and the Company recognise lease payments received under operating leases as operating income on a straight-
line basis over the lease term.

Finance leases
If the Group and the Company transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets, leases are classified
as finance leases. The Group and the Company derecognise the leased assets and recognise the net investment in the lease as a receivable. The
difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognised as unearned finance income. Lease income is
recognised over the term of the lease using the net investment method, which reflects a constant periodic rate of return.

(b) The Group and the Company as lessees

The accounting policy on ROU assets and lease liabilities for lessees are disclosed in Note 6.

(a) Finance lease receivables

The Group’s finance lease receivables arise predominantly from Cooling Energy Supply Agreement (‘CESA’) and Energy Performance Contract (‘EPC’).

The effective interest rate implicit in the finance lease is approximately 9.5% (2020: 9.5%). The carrying amount of the finance lease receivables
approximate to their fair values.

17 CONTRACT BALANCES

Accounting Policy

(a) Contract cost assets – Costs to fulfil a contract

The Group recognises a contract cost that relates directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract as an asset when the cost generates or
enhances resources of the Group which will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future and it is expected to be recovered.

These contract costs are initially measured at cost and amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the pattern of revenue recognition
to which the asset relates. An impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss when the carrying amount of the contract cost exceeds the
expected revenue less expected cost that will be incurred. Where the impairment condition no longer exists or has improved, the impairment
loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the contract cost does not exceed the amount that would have been recognised had
there been no impairment loss recognised previously.

(b) Trade contract assets

A trade contract asset is recognised when the Group’s and the Company’s rights to consideration are conditional on something other than the
passage of time. A contract asset is subject to impairment in accordance to MFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ (Note 45). Typically, the amount will
be billed within 30 days of the supply of electricity for electricity customers and 60 to 180 days for satisfying the performance obligation for
other revenue streams. An assessment of electricity supplied to customers between the date of the last meter reading and the financial year
end of the Group and the Company (unread and unbilled) was made and it is recognised as trade contract assets. Payment is expected within
30 days from the billing date for all trade receivables.

(c) Trade contract liabilities

A trade contract liability represents the obligation of the Group and of the Company to transfer goods or services to a customer for which
consideration has been received (or the amount is due) from the customers.

Trade contract liabilities primarily relate to contributions paid by electricity customers for the construction of electricity network assets. The
customers’ contributions are expected to be recognised as revenue over a period of 20 years, being the estimated average useful life of the
electricity network assets used to connect the customers to the electricity supply.

Other trade contract liabilities within the Group are relating to students fees. All other trade contract liabilities are expected to be recognised
as revenue over the next 12 months.

(d) Non trade contract assets and liabilities

Non trade contract balances are pertaining to insurance and reinsurance contracts which are recognised in accordance to MFRS 4 ‘Insurance
Contracts’.

Contracts under which the Group accepts significant insurance risk from ceding insurers by agreeing to compensate the ceding insurance if a
specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the ceding insurers are classified as insurance contracts.

Assets, liabilities and expenses arising from ceded reinsurance contracts are presented separately from the related assets, liabilities, income and
expenses from the related insurance contracts because reinsurance arrangements do not relieve the Group from its direct obligations to its insured.

Reinsurers’ share of insurance contract liabilities, written premiums ceded to reinsurers, reinsurers’ share of change in the reserve for unearned
premiums and outstanding claims are recognised in the same accounting period as the original policy to which the reinsurance relates and are
presented on the statement of financial position on a gross basis.

Reinsurance assets include reinsurers’ share of insurance contract liabilities and balances due from reinsurers. The amounts recognised as
reinsurers’ share of insurance contract liabilities are measured on a basis that is consistent with the measurement of the liabilities held in respect
of the related insurance contracts.

17 CONTRACT BALANCES (CONTINUED)

Accounting Policy (continued)

(d) Non trade contract assets and liabilities (continued)

Reinsurance assets are assessed for impairment at each date of the statement of financial position. Such assets are deemed impaired if there is
objective evidence, as a result of an event that occurred after its initial recognition, that the Group may not recover all amounts due and that
the event has a reliably measurable impact of the amount that the Group will receive from the reinsurer. The impairment loss is recognised in
profit or loss.

The Group and the Company have recognised the following assets and liabilities related to contracts with customers:

17 CONTRACT BALANCES (CONTINUED)

The Group and the Company have recognised the following assets and liabilities related to contracts with customers: (continued)

(i) Significant changes in trade contract assets and liabilities

Trade contract assets have increased as the Group and the Company have provided more services ahead of the agreed payment schedules for fixed-
price contracts. The Group and the Company also recognised a loss allowance for trade contract assets.

Trade contract liabilities have increased for the Group and the Company due to larger prepayments or contributions received from customers.

(ii) Revenue recognised in relation to trade contract liabilities

The following table shows how much of the revenue recognised in the current financial year relates to carried-forward trade contract liabilities and
how much relates to performance obligations that were satisfied in a prior financial year:

Aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to contracts that


are partially or fully unsatisfied 4,696.8 4,174.2 3,873.5 3,280.2

Management expects 6.2% (2020: 7.9%) of the transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied contracts will be recognised as revenue during the next
financial year. The remaining 93.8% (2020: 92.1%) will be recognised from financial years 2023 to 2042.

In respect of the supply of electricity, the Group and the Company applied the practical expedient to not disclose information related to the
transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations, on the basis that revenue is recognised from the satisfaction of the
performance obligations upon the consumption of electricity by the customers.

All contracts for period of one year or less are billed based on services provided. The transaction price allocated to these unsatisfied contracts is not
disclosed.

20 INVENTORIES

Accounting Policy

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost of work-in-progress and finished goods comprise raw materials, direct labour and a proportion of the production overheads. Cost is determined
on the weighted average basis and comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and
condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses.

21 RECEIVABLES, DEPOSITS AND PREPAYMENTS

Accounting Policy

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Other receivables
generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the Group and the Company. If collection is expected in one year or less (or
in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value, which is the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain
significant financing components. The Group and the Company hold the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows
and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost less accumulated impairment losses. The impairment is determined based on the ECL
model and is further disclosed in Note 45.

23 ASSETS CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE AND LIABILITIES DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH ASSETS CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE

Accounting Policy

Non-current assets or groups of assets are classified as ‘held for sale’ if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction
rather than through continuing use. Similarly, liabilities directly associated with the disposal group are also presented separately from other liabilities
in the statement of financial position.

Depreciation ceases when an asset is classified as an asset held for sale. Assets held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value
less costs to sell.

24 PAYABLES

Accounting Policy

Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers.
Other payables generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the Group and the Company. Trade and other payables
are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are
presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, which is the fair value of the consideration
to be paid in the future for the goods and services received.

Provisions are recognised when the Group and the Company have a present legal or constructive obligations as a result of past events, it is probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations and reliable estimates of the amounts can be made. Where the Group and the
Company expect a provision to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement
is virtually certain. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an
outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood
of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

25 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Accounting Policy

(a) Short term employee benefits

Wages, salaries, paid annual leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end
of the period in which the employees render the related services are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting
period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

(b) Post-employment benefits

The Group and the Company have various post-employment benefit schemes which are either defined contribution or defined benefit plans.
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group and the Company pay fixed contributions into a separate entity (a fund)
on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis and the Group and the Company have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further
contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits relating to employee services in the current and prior
periods.

25 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONTINUED)

Accounting Policy (continued)

(b) Post-employment benefits (continued)

Defined contribution plans

The Group’s and the Company’s contributions to the defined contribution plans are charged to the statement of profit or loss in the financial
year to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group and the Company have no further payment obligations.

Defined benefit plans

The Group and the Company make contributions to the Company’s Retirement Benefit Plan, a defined benefit plan and an approved fund
independent of the Company’s finances. A book provision is also provided by the Group and the Company as the contribution rate required to
fund the benefits under the said plan is in excess of the Inland Revenue maximum limit. The Group and the Company also provided for a Post-
Retirement Medical Plan for certain employees, which is unfunded.

The liability in respect of a defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the statement of financial position date
minus the fair value of plan assets. The Group and the Company determine the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair
value of any plan assets with sufficient regularity such that the amounts recognised in the financial statements do not differ materially from the
amounts that would be determined at the end of the reporting date.

The defined benefit obligation, calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method, is determined by an independent actuarial firm, considering
the estimated future cash outflows using market yields at the statement of financial position date of high-quality corporate bonds which have
currency and terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability.

The current service cost of the defined benefit plan reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee services in
the current year. It is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as employee benefits expense.

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefits obligation and the fair value of plan
assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit or loss. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised directly to the OCI in the period in which they arise. The actuarial gains and
losses are not subsequently reclassified to the statement of profit or loss.

(i) Retirement Benefit Trust Fund (‘RBTF’)

The Group and the Company operate a final salary defined benefit plan. The benefit is made as lump sum payment at retirement or earlier
exits due to death and early retirement. The RBTF has been closed to new entrants since January 2008. Currently, there is no minimum
funding requirement under the law.

The RBTF exposes the Group and the Company to risks from interest rates from defined benefit being greater than expected due to
assumptions such as salary increment or turnover rates not being borne out. The RBTF is also exposed to investment risks in relation to
the assets of the plan.

The funding of the RBTF is based on recommendation of the actuary and approved by the Group and the Company. The contributions by
the Group and the Company are based on 6.0% (2020: 7.0%) of the annual basic salaries of the members. The employees are not required
to contribute to the plan.

The Group and the Company expect to contribute 6.0% (2020: 6.0%) of the annual basic salaries of members to the plan in the next
financial year.

The Group and the Company operate a post-retirement medical benefits plan in Malaysia. The PRMBS is closed to new entrants. There is
no minimum funding requirement under the current law. The PRMBS is unfunded.

The PRMBS exposes the Group and the Company to risks from interest rates and from defined benefits being greater than expected due
to assumptions such as projection of medical benefit costs and mortality not being borne out.

27 BORROWINGS

Accounting Policy

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, borrowings are stated at amortised cost
using the effective interest method, any differences between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value are recognised in the
statement of profit or loss over the period of the borrowings.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group and the Company have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least 12 months after the statement of financial position date.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the
facilities will be drawdown. In this case, the fee is deferred until the drawdown occurs. The transaction costs are amortised over the tenure of the loan
and recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a
substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time the assets are substantially
ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

As for Government loans at an interest rate which is below the market rate of interest, the differential between the initial carrying value of the loan
based on market rate and the Government rate is recognised as a deferred income and is credited to the statement of profit or loss over the period
necessary to match the interest costs.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the
borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

32 REVENUE

Accounting Policy

Revenue which represents income arising in the course of the Group’s and the Company’s ordinary activities is recognised by reference to each
distinct performance obligation promised in the contracts with customers. Revenue from contracts with customers is measured at its transaction
price, being the amount of consideration which the Group and the Company expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or
services to a customer, net of goods and service tax, returns, rebates and discounts. Transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation
on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling prices of each distinct good or services promised in the contract. Depending on the substance of the
respective contract with the customer, revenue is recognised when the performance obligation is satisfied, which may be at a point in time or over
time.

The Group and the Company do not expect any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer
and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group and the Company do not adjust any of the transaction prices for the
time value of money.

(a) Electricity revenue

Revenue from the supply of electricity in Peninsular Malaysia is regulated based on certain formulae and parameters as set out in the regulatory
implementation guidance under the IBR framework and as agreed with the regulators.

The contract with customers is for the supply of electricity based on tariff rates as set out in the provision of the Electricity Supply Act 1990.
Collection of the contract consideration from customers is considered probable.

The promise to supply electricity represents a promise to transfer a series of distinct goods that are substantially the same and that have the
same pattern of transfer to the customer. The performance obligation to deliver electricity is satisfied over time as the customers simultaneously
received and consumed the benefits provided by the Group’s and the Company’s performance. Hence, electricity revenue is recognised over
time by the Group and the Company when electricity is consumed by customers.

Generally, customers are billed on a monthly basis. As the amount at which the Group and the Company have a right to invoice corresponds
directly with the value to the customer, the revenue from electricity sales is also recognised on a monthly basis. Payment should be made by
customers within 30 days from the date the bill is issued. An interest charge will be imposed if payment is made later than 30 days after the bill
date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

32 REVENUE (CONTINUED)

Accounting Policy (continued)

(a) Electricity revenue (continued)

Electricity revenue includes an estimated value of the electricity consumed by customers from the date of their last meter reading and the
reporting period end. Accrued unbilled revenues recognised as contract assets are reversed in the following month when actual billings occur.

ICPT, a mechanism established under the IBR allows the Company to pass through the volatility in fuel and other generation specific costs
(termed as the ‘Single Buyer Generation Cost’) to the customers, such that the Company remains financially neutral. The Company’s claims
and undertakings under the ICPT mechanism are such that any over or under recovery of costs would be payable to or reimbursable from the
Government, and would be recognised as part of revenue in the period the costs are incurred. Actual base tariff billed to the customers remains
unchanged.

Included in the revenue, is the Annual Regulatory Adjustment (‘ARA’) for the over or under recovery of revenue and other income earned
during the year. The Company has taken into account the principles laid out in the Guidelines on Electricity Tariff Determination under the IBR
for Peninsular Malaysia 2018, where the allowed revenue in each year is calculated as the sum of actual revenue earned and any applicable
adjustments, such as those related to the revenue-cap, price-cap and other income adjustment mechanisms as described in the Guidelines.
Other income which is earned from services not directly related to electricity supply, but are provided using the assets and/or staff of a licensee
is deducted from the revenues to be earned from regulated tariffs.

(b) Goods and services

(i) Sale of goods

Sale of goods is recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer and there
is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been
transported to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has
accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence
that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated discounts. Accumulated
experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognised to the
extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made
with a credit term of an average between 30 to 60 days, which is consistent with market practice. The Group’s obligation to repair or
replace faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.

A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only
the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

(ii) Rendering of services

Revenue from providing services is recognised over the period in which the services are rendered. Revenue is recognised based on the
actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided because the customer
received and uses the benefits simultaneously.

In cases of fixed-price contracts, the customer pays the fixed amount based on a payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the
payments, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.

If the contract includes hourly fees, revenue is recognised at the amount to which the Group has a right to invoice. The amounts are billed
within 60 to 180 days from satisfying the performance obligations and payment is expected within 30 days from the billing date.

31 December 2021

32 REVENUE (CONTINUED)

Accounting Policy (continued)

(c) Construction contracts

Revenue from construction contracts is recognised over time or at a point in time in accordance with performance obligations being satisfied.
Where revenue is recognised over time, the satisfaction of performance obligation is by reference to the stage of completion which is assessed
by reference to the contract costs incurred over the total estimated costs for each contract as at the reporting date. Otherwise, revenue is
recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the assets. The related costs are recognised in profit or loss when they are
incurred.

Where the contracts include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price will be allocated to each performance obligation based
on the stand-alone selling prices. Where these are not directly observable, they are estimated based on expected cost plus margin. If contracts
include sale of goods as a separate performance obligation, revenue from this sale is recognised at a point in time when the goods are delivered,
the legal title has passed and the customer has accepted the goods.

When the consideration of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract
costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a contract is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss.

Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases
in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become
known by management.

The amounts will be billed within 60 to 180 days from satisfying the performance obligations and payment is expected within 30 days from
billing date. Advances received are included in contract liabilities.

(d) Customers’ contributions

Contributions received from customers consist of cash and assets in the form of PPE. It is capital contributions for the construction of assets,
used to connect the customers to a network or to provide them with the service.

The customers’ contributions are viewed as indirectly related to the promise of providing supply of electricity to the customers. Supply of
electricity and customers’ contributions are not distinct because the customers cannot benefit from these two services on their own. The
connection infrastructures are to fulfil the obligation to supply electricity to the customers. Both the supply of electricity and customers’
contributions are substantially the same, and have the same pattern of transfer to the customers.

Therefore, connection and the supply of electricity are one performance obligation. It is considered as part of the transaction price for the
overall service provided to the customers and is recognised over time. The customers’ contributions are deferred and recognised over the
period the constructed assets are used to provide electricity to the customers. The contributions are recognised as contract liabilities and
amortised over 20 years, being the estimated average useful life of the assets.

Long Term Incentive Plan (‘LTIP’)

The Group and the Company operate an equity-settled share-based compensation plan under which the entity receives services from employees as
consideration for equity instruments of the Group.

The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the Company’s shares is recognised as an expense in the statement of profit
or loss over the vesting period of the grant, with a corresponding increase in share-based payment reserve in equity.

The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares granted.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in the assumptions to arrive at the number of shares that are expected to vest. At the end of the reporting
period, the Company revises its estimates of the number of shares that are expected to be vested. The impact of the revision of original estimates, if any,
is recognised in the statement of profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to share-based payment reserve in equity.

The fair value of shares granted to employees of subsidiaries is allocated to the subsidiaries.

The Company implemented a LTIP on 30 April 2015 for a period of 10 years. The LTIP is governed by the by-laws, which was approved by the shareholders
at an Extraordinary General Meeting on 18 December 2014. LTIP is intended to allow the Company to award the grant of new shares to be vested to
selected employees for the attainment of identified performance objectives.

Long Term Incentive Plan (‘LTIP’) (continued)

(a) The main features of the LTIP

The LTIP comprises a Restricted Share Grant (‘RS Grant’) and a Performance Share Grant (‘PS Grant’). The main difference in the features of the RS
Grant and the PS Grant is the eligibility of the selected employees in terms of their job grades in the Group and the performance targets and/or
performance conditions to be met prior to the offer and vesting of the grant to the selected employees.

The details of the grant are as follows:


(i) RS Grant

The RS Grant is a restricted share grant for all eligible employees selected on a basis designated by the LTIP Committee. The RS Grant will
be awarded annually to the selected employees to be vested over a period of 3 years on a pro-rata basis and after fulfilment of individual
performance targets based on the Group’s performance management system (such as individual performance rating) and certain performance
conditions (such as financial targets) as determined by the LTIP Committee from time to time at its discretion in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the LTIP.

(ii) PS Grant

The PS Grant is a performance share grant for senior executives of the Group and the Executive Director as well as key employees of the Group
selected on a basis designated by the LTIP Committee. The PS Grant will be awarded annually to the selected employees to be vested at the
end of the 3-year period and after fulfilment of certain performance targets and/or conditions at the time of grant and vesting, which may
include, among other factors, total shareholders’ return and the long term financial performance targets/ratios of the Group as determined by
the LTIP Committee from time to time at its discretion in accordance with the terms and conditions of the LTIP. At the point of vesting, the final
award of the PS Grant is based on a multiple of the initial grant whereby the multiple is determined according to the performance targets and/
or conditions. In the event the performance targets and/or conditions are not met by the selected employees, the grant will not be vested to
them at the end of the performance period.

The new ordinary shares to be allotted and issued upon the vesting of the ordinary shares pursuant to the RS Grant and PS Grant will not be
subjected to any retention period or restriction on transfer.

In implementing the LTIP, the grant will be satisfied by way of allotment and issuance of new ordinary shares to the respective RS and PS
grantees upon vesting of the grant.

The LTIP Committee shall decide from time to time at its discretion to determine or vary the terms and conditions of the offer, such as
the eligibility criteria and allocation in each grant, the timing and frequency of the award of the grant, the performance targets and/or
performance conditions to be met prior to the offer and vesting of the grant and the vesting period.

at its discretion.

(e) Ranking of the new ordinary shares

The new ordinary shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the LTIP shall, upon allotment and issuance, rank equally in all respects with the then
existing issued ordinary shares.

The new ordinary shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the vesting of the grant under the LTIP shall not be entitled to any dividends, rights,

36 FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAIN/(LOSS)

Accounting Policy

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the entity operates (the ‘functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (‘RM’), which is the Company’s
functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions
or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of
profit or loss. However, exchange differences are deferred in OCI when they are attributable to items that form part of the net investment in a
foreign operation.

(c) Group companies

The results and financial positions of the Group’s entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have functional
currencies which are different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(i) Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of
financial position;
(ii) Income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and OCI are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a
reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses
are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
(iii) All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation
and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising on these items are recognised in OCI.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations are taken to shareholders’ equity.

On the disposal of a foreign operation (that is, a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of
control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of joint control over a joint venture that includes a foreign
operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), the cumulative amount
of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation recognised in OCI, and accumulated in the separate component of equity, are
reclassified from equity to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

In the case of a partial disposal that does not result in the Group losing control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the
proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences recognised in OCI are re-attributed to NCI in that foreign operation, and are not
recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (that is, reductions in the Group’s ownership interest in associates or joint ventures
that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control) the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange difference is
reclassified to profit or loss.

37 FINANCE INCOME/COST AND FAIR VALUE CHANGES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Accounting Policy

Finance income are interests received from investments or financial instruments.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowing pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the
borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

Finance income is calculated by applying the effective interest method to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets
that subsequently become credit impaired. For credit impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the
financial assets (after deduction of the loss allowances). The accounting policy on fair value changes are as per disclosed in Note 45.

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised
during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily takes
substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Accounting policy on finance charges for lease liabilities and government grants are disclosed in Note 15 and Note 28, respectively.

38 TAXATION AND ZAKAT

Accounting Policy

(a) Income tax

Current tax expense is determined by the expected income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the financial year and is measured
using the applicable tax rates according to the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries in
which the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate the taxable profits.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to
interpretation. Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Tax is recognised in the profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in OCI. In this case, the item is recognised
in OCI, net of tax.

The Group and the Company recognise non-current tax recoverable on an undiscounted basis.

(b) Zakat

The Group and the Company recognise its obligation towards the payment of zakat on business income in the statement of profit or loss. Zakat
payment is an obligation and is accrued based on 2.5% of profit before tax and determined according to the percentage of Muslim shareholding
in the Company.

The taxation and zakat for the Group and the Company comprise:

42 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Accounting Policy

The Group and the Company do not recognise contingent assets and liabilities other than those arising from business combinations, but disclose its
existence in the financial statements. A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group and of the Company or a present obligation
that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises
in the extremely rare case where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. However, contingent liabilities
do not include financial guarantee contracts. A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group and of the Company. The Group and the
Company do not recognise contingent assets but disclose its existence where inflows of economic benefits are probable, but not certain.

Determination of the treatment of contingent liabilities is based on the Group’s and the Company’s view of the expected outcome of the contingencies
after consulting legal counsel for litigation cases and internal and external experts to the Group and the Company for matters in the ordinary course
of business.

Trade guarantees and performance bonds 54.4 26.2 0 0

All third party claims are being resolved and the Directors are of the opinion that their outcomes will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
positions of both the Group and the Company.

On 7 December 2016, the Company and the IRB entered into a consent judgement before the Kuala Lumpur High Court to substitute the judicial
review proceedings with regard to the notices of additional assessment dated 23 November 2015 (‘Notices’) for the YAs 2013 and 2014 arising from the
disallowance of the Company’s reinvestment allowance claims by filing an appeal to the SCIT.

The consent judgement also provides that the IRB will not commence any proceedings relating to the Notices until this matter is determined by the SCIT
and by the High Court, if there is a subsequent appeal by either party. On 15 December 2016, the Company filed notices of appeal against the Notices
to the SCIT according to Section 99(1) of the Income Tax Act 1967. The appeals have since been registered before the SCIT. Meanwhile, for the notices of
additional assessment issued for the YAs 2015, 2016 and 2017, on 30 December 2020, both TNB and IRB have recorded a consent order. Pursuant to the
consent order, the Court has granted a stay of proceedings against the enforcement of the IRB’s notices of additional assessment and leave to commence
judicial review. The substantive hearing which was initially fixed on 16 March 2022 has been vacated by the High Court. The High Court proceeded to
reschedule the hearing to 21 June 2022.

With regards to the notice of additional assessment for the YA 2018, on 21 January 2021, both TNB and IRB have recorded a consent order. Pursuant to the
consent order, the High Court has granted a stay of proceedings against the enforcement of the IRB’s notice of additional assessment. Subsequently on 13
January 2022, the High Court heard TNB’s judicial review application and on 8 February 2022, the High Court had allowed with cost the Company’s judicial
review application to set aside the IRB’s notice of additional assessment dated 13 July 2020 for the YA 2018. The High Court agreed with the submission of
TNB’s legal counsel that TNB is in the business of manufacturing electricity and as such, TNB is entitled to claim RIA on the capital expenditure which was
incurred in YA 2018 in the course of expanding, modernising and automating TNB’s business. Separately on 8 February 2022, the IRB had filed a notice of
appeal before the Court of Appeal against the decision of the High Court. The Court of Appeal had fixed a case management on 28 March 2022.

The Company has obtained legal advice from its tax solicitors on the merits of the cases mentioned above and on this basis the Directors are of the opinion
that no provision is required in the financial statements for the potential tax liability up to the reporting date.

On 29 October 2021, IRB had disallowed the interest expenses incurred by KEV’s in relation to the Redeemable Unsecured Loan Stock granted to KEV by
TNB and Malakoff Corporation Berhad under Section 33(1)(a) of the Income Tax Act 1967 and KEV’s revision of revenue for the YAs 2004 to 2009 and had
issued notices of assessment YAs 2011, 2012 and 2014 and notices of additional assessment for the YAs 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 amounting in
aggregate to RM595.9 million.

On 16 November 2021, KEV had commenced a judicial review against the Minister of Finance at the High Court to challenge the matters arising from
the said Notices. The High Court fixed the hearing of the application for leave for judicial review on 10 February 2022. Due to the request of the Attorney
General Chamber to vacate the hearing for leave for Judicial Review on 10 February 2022, the High Court proceeded to fix the hearing for leave for Judicial
Review on 27 June 2022. The High Court has granted an extension of the interim stay on the enforcement of the Notices until 27 June 2022.

Based on the legal advice obtained from its tax solicitors, KEV is of the view that it has a good basis in law to contend that the said Notices were incorrectly
raised by the IRB and on this basis the Directors are of the opinion that no provision is required in the financial statements for the potential tax liability up
to the reporting date.

Notwithstanding the two tax litigation matters above, the Company continued to claim the tax incentive for YAs 2020 and 2021 whilst KEV continued to
claim tax deductions for YAs 2019, 2020 and 2021 as permitted by the law.

45 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Accounting Policy

Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities. The financial assets and liabilities are offset and presented as net amounts in
the statement of financial position. Financial guarantees are part of the financial liabilities and recognised at fair value.

Financial assets

(a) Classification

The Group and the Company classify its financial assets in the following categories: at amortised cost (‘AC’), at FVOCI or FVTPL. The classification
depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

(i) Financial assets at AC:


• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows; and
• The contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

(ii) Financial assets at FVOCI:


• Equity securities which are not held for trading, and which the Group and the Company have irrevocably elected at initial recognition
to recognise in this category. These are strategic investments and the Group and the Company consider this classification to be
more relevant; and
• Debt securities where the contractual cash flows are solely principal and interest and the objective of the Group’s and of the
Company’s business model is achieved both by collecting cash flows and selling financial assets.

(iii) Financial assets at FVTPL:


• Debt instruments that do not qualify for measurement at either AC or FVOCI;
• Equity instruments that are held for trading; and
• Equity instruments for which the Group and the Company have not elected to recognise fair value gains and losses through OCI.

The Group and the Company reclassify debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

(b) Recognition and derecognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date, the date on which the Group and the Company commit to
purchase or sell the assets. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have
been transferred and the Group and the Company have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

(c) Measurement

(i) Initial recognition

At initial recognition, the Group and the Company measure a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at
FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried
at FVTPL are expensed in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment
of principal and interest.

Financial assets (continued)

(c) Measurement (continued)

(ii) Subsequent measurement

• Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s and the Company’s business model for managing the asset
and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group and the Company
classify its debt instruments:
- AC: Interest income from financial assets at AC is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain
or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item
in the statement of profit or loss.
- FVOCI: Movements in the carrying amount of debt instruments classified under FVOCI are taken through OCI. Upon
derecognition of the assets, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified to the statement of profit or
loss. The interest income from these financial assets is included in the finance income using the effective interest rate method.
The foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment expenses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of
profit or loss.
- FVTPL: Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for AC or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on debt instruments
which are measured at FVTPL are recognised in the profit or loss.

• Equity instruments

The Group and the Company have elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity instruments in OCI. The fair value gains
and losses of these instruments will not be reclassified subsequently to the profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are
recognised in the statement of profit or loss as other income. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity
instruments measured at FVOCI are also reported as other changes in fair value.

(d) Impairment

The Group and the Company assess on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at AC and
FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

The Group and the Company have the following financial instruments that are subject to the ECL model:
(i) Trade receivables
(ii) Trade contract assets
(iii) Non trade receivables:
• intercompany balances
• amounts due from associates/joint ventures
• rechargeable job orders (‘RJO’) debtors
• sundry deposits for rental spaces
• rental receivables
• staff loans/advances
• investment in unquoted debt securities
(iv) Financial guarantee contracts issued

While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of MFRS 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.

ECL represents a probability-weighted estimate of the difference between the present value of the cash flows according to the contract and
present value of the cash flows the Group and the Company are expected to receive, over the remaining life of the financial instruments. For
financial guarantee contracts, the ECL is the difference between the expected payments to be reimbursed to the holder of the guaranteed debt
instrument less any amounts that the Company expects to receive from the holder, the debtor or any other party.

Accounting Policy (continued)

Financial assets (continued)

(d) Impairment (continued)

The measurement of ECL reflects:


(i) An unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
(ii) The time value of money; and
(iii) Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current
conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

For trade receivables, trade contract assets and lease receivables, the Group and the Company apply the MFRS 9 simplified approach, which
requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables, except for those which are in default or credit
impaired are assessed individually.

For non trade receivables, at each reporting date the Group and the Company measure ECL through a loss allowance at an amount equal to 12
months ECL if credit risk on a financial instrument or a group of financial instruments has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

The Group and the Company use the three-stage approach for non trade receivables which reflect their credit risks and how the loss allowances
are determined for each of those stages. Summary of the assumptions underpinning the Group’s and the Company’s ECL model for non trade
receivables are as follows:
Types of non trade Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3
receivables Low credit risk Significant increase in credit Credit impaired
(12 months ECL Model) risk (Lifetime ECL Model) (Lifetime ECL Model)

45 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Accounting Policy (continued)

Financial assets (continued)

(d) Impairment (continued)

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL,
the Group and the Company consider reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort.
This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s and the Company’s historical experience and
informed credit assessment including forward looking information, where available.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or fully) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery.
This is generally the case when either the Group or Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could
generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subjected to the write off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject
to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s and the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

Financial liabilities

The Group and the Company classify its financial liabilities in the following categories: at AC or at FVTPL.

Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts are presented in the statement of financial position (‘SOFP’) when there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and
in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the Group or the Company to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it
incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due, in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value
and subsequently at the higher of;
(i) The amount determined in accordance with the ECL model; and
(ii) The amount initially recognised less, where appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of
MFRS 15.

The fair value of financial guarantees is determined as the present value of the difference in net cash flows between the contractual payments under
the debt instrument and the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party
for assuming the obligations.

Where guarantees in relation to loans or other payables of associates are provided for no compensation, the fair values are accounted for as
contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.

(b) Financial risk management

The Group and the Company have exposures to the following risks embedded in its financial instruments:
• Credit risk;
• Liquidity risk; and
• Market risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group and the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations. The Group’s and the Company’s exposures to credit risk arise principally from its receivables from customers, investment in
unquoted debt securities, deposits, bank and cash balances and derivative financial instruments. In addition, the Company’s exposure to credit risk
arises principally from loans and advances to subsidiaries and financial guarantees given to banks in respect of banking facilities granted to certain
subsidiaries and an associate.

(i) Trade receivables and trade contract assets

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

The Group and the Company have a credit policy in place and the exposures to credit risk are monitored on an ongoing basis. Normally,
financial guarantees given by banks, shareholders or directors of customers are obtained, and credit evaluations are performed on customers
requiring credit over a certain amount.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral

The Group’s and the Company’s credit policy provide trade receivables with a 30 to 90 days (2020: 30 to 90 days) credit period. The Group and
the Company have no major significant concentration of credit risk due to their diverse customer base. An impairment has been made for
estimated unrecoverable amounts, determined by reference to past default experience of individual debtors and collection portfolios.

The total trade receivables and trade contract assets and the impairment provided are as follows:
Group Company
2021 2020 2021 2020

The Group and the Company have other financial assets which are lease receivables, investment in unquoted debt securities and others.

Given the varied nature of the Group’s and of the Company’s customer base, the following analysis of trade receivables by type of customer is
considered the most appropriate disclosure of credit concentration.

The Group and the Company apply MFRS 9 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss
allowance for all trade receivables and trade contract assets.

For certain large customers with high risk of default, the Group and the Company assessed the risk of loss for each customer individually based
on their financial information, past trend of payments and external credit ratings, where applicable.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and trade contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics
and the days past due. The trade contract assets that relate to unbilled customers have substantial same risk characteristics as the trade
receivables for the same types of contracts. The Group and the Company have therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for trade
receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates of the trade contract assets.

Credit risk (continued)

(i) Trade receivables and trade contract assets (continued)

Impairment losses (continued)

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 2 to 10 years and the corresponding historical credit losses
experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward looking information on macroeconomic
factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Group and the Company have identified growth rates of real Gross
Domestic Product (‘GDP’) of Malaysia to be the most relevant factor, and accordingly, adjusts the historical loss rates based on the expected
changes in this factor. As at 31 December 2021, for non-government customers, a combination of growth rates of real GDP and inflation rates
were identified as the most relevant factors.

During the current financial year, as a result of a prolonged COVID-19 impact, the Group and the Company have considered matters such as
lower collection of outstanding debts, suspension of disconnection activities, introduction of Instalment Plan Package which are limited to
certain category of customers, and some other relief packages introduced by the Government in assessing the ECL.

On that basis, the loss allowance was determined for both trade receivables and trade contract assets as reflected in the tables above.

The opening loss allowances for trade receivables and trade contract assets reconciled to the closing loss allowances are as follows:

Impairment losses (continued)

Trade receivables are secured by deposits in the form of cash and bank guarantees. ECL is not provided on receivable balances fully secured
by deposits. The deposit amounts are reviewed on an individual basis periodically.

Individual receivables which were known to be uncollectible were written off by reducing the carrying amount directly.

Impairment losses on trade receivables and trade contract assets are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent
recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.

(ii) Investment in unquoted debt securities, deposits, bank and cash balances, derivative financial instruments and financial assets at FVTPL

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

Investments, deposits, bank and cash balances, derivative financial instruments and financial assets measured at FVTPL are liquid securities
and mainly with reputable financial institutions.

Investment in unquoted debt securities are investment in an associate’s financial instruments. The credit risk of this associate is monitored on
a quarterly basis and the loss allowances are provided for accordingly.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amounts in the SOFP.

In view of the sound credit rating of counterparties, the Group and the Company do not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.
The Group and the Company do not have overdue investments that have not been impaired.

The investments, deposits, cash and bank balances and derivative financial instruments are unsecured.

Bank and cash balances are held with banks and financial institutions which have lower 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.

The total investment in unquoted debt securities and the impairment provided are as follows:

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

The Company provides unsecured loans and advances to subsidiaries. The Company monitors the results of the subsidiaries regularly.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral

At the end of the financial year, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying amounts in the SOFP.

The total amounts due from subsidiaries and impairment provided are as follows:
Company
2021 2020
RM’million RM’million

Amounts due from subsidiaries 8,719.6 15,414.1


Less: Loss allowances (718.6) (1,642.4)
8,001.0 13,771.7

Impairment losses

Generally, the Company considers loans and advances to subsidiaries having low credit risk. The Company assumes that there is a
significant increase in credit risk when a subsidiary’s financial position deteriorates significantly based on stages determined in the
accounting policy part (d) of this note. As the Company is able to determine the timing of payments of the subsidiaries’ balances
when they are payable, the Company considers the amount payable to be in default when the subsidiaries are not able to pay when
demanded. The Company considers a subsidiary’s balances to be impaired when the subsidiary is:
- unlikely to repay its payables to the Company in full;
- having negative operating cash flows and is in net tangible liabilities position; or
- a dormant entity or has a history of default.

At the end of the financial year, there was no indication that the amounts due from the subsidiaries are not recoverable other than those
which have already been impaired. The Company does not specifically monitor the ageing of advances to the subsidiaries.

During the financial year, there has been reversal of loss allowances due to repayments received and conversion of intercompany
receivables as equity. It is also inclusive of write-off of intercompany receivables due to disposal and liquidations.

• Other non trade receivables, amounts due from associates and joint ventures

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

Credit risk on other non trade receivables are mainly arising from RJO debtors which are receivables from specific works requested by
customers.

Credit risk also arises from sundry deposits for rental of office spaces from third parties and rental receivables. The Company manages
the credit risk together with the specific leasing arrangements.

Staff advances and staff loans have low credit risk as these are mostly provided to existing staff. These balances are managed on a
monthly basis.

Amounts due from associates and joint ventures are mostly due to transactions within the Group and have a low credit risk. These
balances are managed on a monthly basis.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral

At the end of the financial year, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying amounts in the statement of
financial position.

The Company receives down payments, LOUs or indents for RJO debtors where works are requested by customers.

The Company receives deposits from third parties for rental of office spaces. For staff loans and staff advances, any repayment is done
through monthly payroll deductions.

In cases of RJO debtors arising from accidental damages to the Company’s assets whereby the third party is identifiable, these amounts
are fully impaired as there is very low prospect of recovery.

Impairment losses

The Company assumes that there is a significant increase in credit risk when a subsidiary or associate has indication of defaulting on its
banking facilities. The Company considers a financial guarantee to be credit impaired when the subsidiary or associate is unlikely to repay its
credit obligation to the bank in full.

The Company determines the probability of default of the guaranteed loans individually using internal information available.

Loss allowance has been recognised mainly arising from the financial guarantee provided by the Group in 2016 to support the loan facility
offered to İç Anadolu Doğalgaz Elektrik Üretim ve Ticaret A.Ş. (‘ICAN’), a subsidiary of Gama Enerji. The ECL is determined based on an internal
assessment of Gama Enerji’s debt servicing ability taking into account of the current adverse macroeconomic conditions in Turkey. The
impairment loss for financial guarantees for the Group and the Company are in Stage 3.

(b) Financial risk management (continued)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group and the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s and the
Company’s exposures to liquidity risk arise principally from its various payables, loans and borrowings. The Group and the Company monitor rolling
forecasts of the Group’s and of the Company’s liquidity requirements.

As of 31 December 2021, the Group’s and the Company’s current liabilities exceeded their current assets by RM194.3 million (2020: RM998.8 million)
and RM6,950.5 million (2020: RM6,151.9 million) respectively.

As the Group’s net current liabilities position is mainly contributed by the Company, cash flow forecast has been prepared for the next 12 months
for the Company taking into account the expected revenue growth rates, customer collection trends, low rate of termination of electricity account
that would crystallise the entire consumer deposit of RM6,685.1 million and one-off transactions expected within the next 12 months. Based on the
cash flow forecast, the Company is able to generate sufficient internal cash flows from operations for the next 12 months from the reporting date to
meet operational and financing needs as and when they fall due.

In addition, as at 31 December 2021, the Group and the Company have undrawn borrowing facilities amounting to RM10,389.0 million (2020:
RM16,902.0 million) and RM9,911.0 million (2020: RM15,612.0 million) respectively to support any cash shortfall while maintaining sufficient
headroom on its undrawn borrowing facilities at all times to ensure the Group and the Company have the financial flexibility.

Surplus cash of the Group and of the Company is invested in profit bearing current accounts, money market deposits and other instruments with
appropriate maturities and sufficient liquidity level to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the cash flow forecasts and to enable the
Group and the Company to discharge liabilities in the normal course of business.

Currency risk sensitivity analysis

A 10.0% strengthening of the foreign currencies against RM at the end of the financial year would have decreased post-tax profit or loss by the
amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remained constant and ignores any impact of
forecasted sales and purchases.

GBP (333.2) (218.3)

Company
USD (654.3) (669.6)
JPY (208.7) (151.1)

A 10.0% weakening of the foreign currencies against RM at the end of the financial year would have had equal but opposite effect on the
above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remained constant.

Foreign currency risk for the Group and the Company which have a functional currency other than USD, JPY and GBP are not material and
hence, sensitivity analysis is not presented.

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Group’s and the Company’s investments in fixed rate debt securities and its fixed rate borrowings are not exposed to a significant risk
of change in their fair values due to changes in interest rates. The Group’s and the Company’s variable rate borrowings are exposed to a risk
of change in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. Investment in equity securities and short term receivables and payables are not
significantly exposed to interest rate risk.

Market risk (continued)

(ii) Interest rate risk (continued)

Exposure to interest rate risk

The interest rate profile of the Group’s and of the Company’s significant interest-bearing financial instruments, based on carrying amounts as
at the end of the financial year were:
Group Company
2021 2020 2021 2020
RM’million RM’million RM’million RM’million

Fixed rate instruments:

Floating rate instrument:


Financial liabilities 2,442.6 2,504.3 0 0

The financial assets are not sensitive to interest rate changes.

A 5.0% change in the interest rates of the financial liabilities with floating interest rates at the end of the financial year would have affected
the Group’s and the Company’s profit or loss and equity by RM0.1 million (2020: RM0.1 million). This analysis assumes that all other variables,
in particular foreign currency rates remained constant.

(iii) Other price risk

Other price risk arises from the Group’s and the Company’s investments in equity securities, debt securities and unit trust funds.

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

The Group and the Company are exposed to price risk because the investments held are classified on the statement of financial position as
FVOCI and FVTPL. The Group and the Company mainly invest in unit trust funds, primarily in short term deposits as underlying instruments
with minimal price risk.

(b) Financial risk management (continued)

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

(i) Policy on transfer between levels

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 were no transfers between levels during the financial year.

(ii) Level 1 fair value

Level 1 fair value is derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the
measurement date.

(iii) Level 2 fair value

Level 2 fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the financial assets or
liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

Derivative financial instruments

The fair value is estimated by the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of
the contract.

Non-derivative financial instruments

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purpose, 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.

(iv) Level 3 fair value

Level 3 fair values for the financial assets and liabilities are estimated using unobservable inputs.

(v) Interest rates used to determine fair value

The interest rates used to discount estimated cash flows, when applicable, ranging between 0.1% to 8.0% (2020: 0.1% to 8.0%).

Although the Group and the Company believe that their estimates of fair value are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or
assumptions could lead to different measurements of fair value.

The favourable and unfavourable effects of using reasonably possible alternative assumptions have been calculated by recalibrating the
model values using expected cash flows and risk-adjusted discount rates based on the probability weighted average of the Group’s and of the
Company’s ranges of possible outcomes.

concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Group and the Company will also strive to maintain an

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


TO THE MEMBERS OF TENAGA NASIONAL BERHAD (INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA) (COMPANY NO. 199001009294 (200866-W))

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements of Tenaga Nasional Berhad (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) give a true and fair view of the financial
position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2021, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the financial year then ended
in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in
Malaysia.

What we have audited

We have audited the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, which comprise the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2021 of the
Group and of the Company, and the statements of profit or loss, statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash
flows of the Group and of the Company for the financial year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies, as set out on pages 187 to 340.

Basis for opinion

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 report.

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

Independence and other ethical responsibilities

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.

Our audit approach

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements of the Group and of
the Company. In particular, we considered where the Directors made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that
involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management
override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement
due to fraud.

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into
account the structure of the Group and of the Company, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group and the Company operate.

Redeemable Unsecured Loan Stock (‘RULS’) claims

On 29 October 2021, IRB had disallowed the interest expenses incurred by


Kapar Energy Ventures Sdn. Bhd. (‘KEV’) in relation to the RULS granted by
the shareholders and revision of revenue for the YAs 2004 to 2009 and had

As at 31 December 2021, based on the legal advice obtained from its tax
solicitors, the Group is of the view that it has a good basis in law to contend

provision is required in the financial statements for the potential tax liability
up to the reporting date.

Commissioners of Income Tax and the Kuala Lumpur High Court, including if
there is a subsequent appeal by either party.

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 Directors’ Report, Statement on Risk Management
and Internal Control and the Board Risk Committee Report, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditors’ report, and the remaining Statements to be
included within the Integrated Annual Report 2021, which is expected to be made available to us after that date. Other information 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 other information 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 other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information 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 on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditors’ report, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial statements

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company that give a true and fair view
in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting 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 Group’s and the Company’s ability 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


TO THE MEMBERS OF TENAGA NASIONAL BERHAD (INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA) (COMPANY NO. 199001009294 (200866-W))

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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:

(a) 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.

(b) 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 Group’s and of the Company’s internal control.

(c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.

(d) 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 Group’s or on the Company’s ability 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.

(e) 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 achieves fair
presentation.

(f ) 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 financial 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 report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
