In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 March 2023, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia. 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 auditors’ 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. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. i) Valuation of biological assets – Livestock Refer to Note 1(d)(iv) – Use of estimate and judgement, Note 2(i) – Significant accounting policies: Biological assets – livestock and Note 11 – Biological assets to the financial statements. Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The Group held RM250,365,000 of biological assets measured at fair value less cost to sell as at 31 March 2023. In determining the fair value of the biological assets, the Group uses the discounted cash flow model. We have identified the valuation of biological assets as a key audit matter because significant judgement is involved in determining the key assumptions which will impact the amount of the fair value of biological assets recognised. Our audit procedures performed over this area included, among others: • We gained an understanding of the process in determining the fair value of biological assets including the review of minutes of management meeting that discussed on the outlook of the projected selling prices and projected feed costs; • We evaluated the appropriateness of the methodology used by management in valuation of the biological assets; • We assessed the appropriateness of the key assumptions and relevant inputs used by the management in the valuation model by comparing to the external data as well as the historical data provided to us by the management;
