On the proposal of Mr Steven Aroki (Smane (M) Sdn Bhd) and seconded by YBhg Dato' Palaniappan Joseph (Satake Technologies Sdn Bhd), Audited Financial Statements for the financial year ended June 30, 2021 and the Reports of the Directors and Auditors, were unanimously adopted. 

In response to YBhg Tan Sri Dr Lim Wee Chai’s question on the financial performance for financial year 2020/2021, Dr Yeoh, CEO reported that FMM’s main sources of revenue are subscription fees and seminar income. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the seminar income was affected due to most events being conducted virtually which resulted in a lower income.  For financial year 2021/2022, FMM has budgeted for surplus and will work towards achieving it although companies are generally still reluctant to allow their staff to participate in physical seminars due to the rising cases of COVID-19 infection.
