The nancial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in acc ordance with a resolution of the directors on 15 February 2006. 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of Preparation The nancial statements of the Company have been prepared under the historical cos t convention and comply with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable MASB Approv ed Accounting Standards in Malaysia. (b) Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 2(k). Certain leasehold land of the Company have not been revalued since they were rst revalued in 1968. The directors have not adopted a policy of regular revaluations of such assets. As permitted under the transitional provisions of IAS 16 (Revised): Property, Plant and Equipment, these assets continue to be stated at their 1968 valuation less accumulated depreciation. Leasehold land is amortised on a straight line basis over the periods of the leases, both of which expire in 2059. Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment is provided for on a straight line basis to write o the cost of each asset to its residual value over the estimated useful life, at the following annual rates: DUTCH LADY MILK INDUSTRIES BERHAD

Building -2% Plant and machinery -10%-15% Motor vehicles -20% Furniture and equipment -10%-25% Upon the disposal of an item of property, plant or equipment, the dierence betwee n the net disposal proceeds and the net carrying amount is recognised to the income statement. (c) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on the rst-in, rst-out bas is) and net realisable value. The cost of nished goods and work-in-progress comprise raw materials, dire ct labour, other direct costs and appropriate production overheads.

(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the cash ow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at bank, deposits at call and short term highly liquid investments which have an insignicant risk of changes in value. (e) Leases A lease is recognised as a nance lease if it transfers substantially to the Compa ny all the risks and rewards incident to ownership. All other leases are classied as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. (f) Provisions for Liabilities Provisions for liabilities are recognised when the Company has a present obligat ion as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outow of resources embodying economic ben ets will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reect the current best estima te. Where the eect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the pre sent value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation. (g) Income Tax Income tax on the prot or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. C urrent tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable prot for the ye ar and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date.

DUTCH LADY MILK INDUSTRIES BERHAD

Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method, on temporary dierences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying am ounts in the nancial statements. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxabl e temporary dierences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary dierences, un used tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable prot will be av ailable against which the deductible temporary dierences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the peri od when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, e xcept when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the rel ated deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity. (h) Employee Benets (i) Short term benets Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Company. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences, and short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognis ed when the absences occur. (ii) Dened contribution plans As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the Employees Pr ovident Fund ( EPF ). Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. (i) Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benets associated wit h the transaction will ow to the enterprise and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. Sale of Goods Revenue relating to sale of goods is recognised net of sales taxes and discounts upon the transfer of risks and rewards. Interest Income Interest is recognised on a time proportion basis that reects the eective yield on

the assets. Revenue from Services Revenue from services rendered is recognised net of sales tax as and when the se rvices are performed. DUTCH LADY MILK INDUSTRIES BERHAD 27

(j) Foreign Currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in Ringgit Malaysia at rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, foreign currency mon etary items are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at exchange rates ruling at that date. Non-mone tary items initially denominated in foreign currencies, which are carried at historical cost, are tra nslated using the historical rate as of the date of acquisition and non-monetary items which are c arried at fair value are translated using the exchange rate that existed when such fair values were deter mined. The principal exchange rates applied for each respective unit of foreign currenc y ruling at balance sheet date are as follows: Foreign Currency 1 1 1 1 1 United States Dollar Euro Singapore Dollar Australian Dollar Thai Baht

(k) Impairment of Assets 2005 2004 RM RM 3.8090 4.5300 2.2966 2.8030 0.0964 3.8250 5.2270 2.3490 2.9930 0.1014

At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its asse ts to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, im pairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. R ecoverable amount is the higher of net selling price and value in use, which is measured by refere nce to discounted future cash ows. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement immediate ly. (l) Related Companies Related companies in these nancial statements refer to companies within the Konin klijke Friesland Foods NV group of companies. DUTCH LADY MILK INDUSTRIES BERHAD

(m) Financial Instruments Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Company has b ecome a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are classied as liabilities or equity in accordance with th e substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends and gains and losses relating to a n ancial instrument classied as a liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to hold ers of nancial instruments classied as equity are recognised directly to equity. Financial instr uments are oset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to oset and intends to settle ei ther on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Trade Receivables Trade receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are wr itten o when identied. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amou nts as at the balance sheet date. Trade Payables Trade payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration t o be paid in the future for goods and services received. Interest Bearing Borrowings Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the amount of proceed s received, net of transaction costs. Equity Instruments Ordinary shares are classied as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognis ed in equity in the period in which they are declared. The transaction costs of an equity transaction, other than in the context of a b usiness combination, are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of tax. Equity transaction cos ts comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction which would otherwise have been avoided. 3 REVENUE AND COST OF SALES Revenue represents the gross invoiced value of goods supplied less returns and d iscounts and cost of sales comprise the cost of raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs a nd the cost of nished goods purchased.

26 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (a) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies The Company s nancial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate nancial r esources are available for the development of the Company s businesses whilst managing its inte rest rate, foreign exchange, liquidity and credit risks. The Company operates within clearly dened g uidelines and the Company s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions. (b) Interest Rate Risk The Company s primary interest rate risk relates to interest on short-term bank de posits, as the Company had no borrowings as at 31 December 2005. The investments in nancial assets are m ainly short term in nature and they are not held for speculative purposes but have been mostly pl aced in short-term deposits. (c) Foreign Exchange Risk The Company procures mainly raw materials and, where required, plant and equipme nt, internationally and is exposed to various currencies, mainly United States Dolla r and Euro. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities together with expected cash ows from highly probable purchases give rise to foreign exchange exposures. Foreign exchange exposures in transactional currencies are kept to an acceptable level. The net unhedged nancial assets and nancial liabilities of the Company that are no t denominated in its functional currency, Malaysian Ringgit, is as follows: Financial assets held in non-functional currency Receivables: United States Dollar

Financial liabilities held in non-functional currency Payables: United States Dollar Euro Singapore Dollar Australian Dollar Thai Baht Total DUTCH LADY MILK INDUSTRIES BERHAD

(d) Liquidity Risk The Company maintains sucient levels of cash or cash convertible investments to m eet its working capital requirements. In addition, the Company strives to maintain available ban king facilities of a reasonable level to its overall working capital liabilities. The Company raises committed funding from nancial institutions and balances its portfolio with some short term funding so a s to achieve overall cost eectiveness. (e) Credit Risks Credit risks, or the risk of counter parties defaulting, is managed by the appli cation of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis via the Company s management reporting procedures. The Company does not have any major con centration of credit risk related to any nancial instruments. (f) Fair Values The carrying amounts of nancial assets and liabilities of the Company at the bala nce sheet date approximate their fair values due to the relatively short term maturity of these nancial instruments. 27 SEGMENT INFORMATION The primary reporting segment information is in respect of the business segment as the Company s risk and rates of return are aected predominantly by dierences in the products it produces. No segment information is provided as the Company operates principally in Malays ia and in one major business segment. DUTCH LADY MILK INDUSTRIES BERHAD
