OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION REGARDING THE GROUP AND THE
COMPANY:-

(I) AS AT THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

(a) Before the profit and loss accounts and balance sheets of the Group and of the
Company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps:-

(i) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of
bad debts and the making of provision for doubtful debts and have satisfied
themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate
provision had been made for doubtful debts; and

(ii) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their book
values in the ordinary course of business had been written down to their
estimated realisable values.

(b) In the opinion of the directors, the results of the operations of the Group and of the
Company during the financial year have not been substantially affected by any item,
transaction or event of a material and unusual nature, except as disclosed in this
report under Significant Events.

(II) FROM THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR TO THE DATE OF THIS
REPORT

(c) Apart from the uncertainties arising from the Group’s and the Company’s debt
restructuring scheme, which has a bearing on the Group’s and Company’s status as
going concerns, as detailed in Note 3 to the Accounts, the directors are not aware
of any circumstances:-

(i) which would render the amount written off for bad debts or the provision for
doubtful debts inadequate to any substantial extent; or

(ii) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the accounts of
the Group and of the Company misleading; or

(iii) which have arisen which would render adherence to the existing methods of
valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or
inappropriate.

(d) In the opinion of the directors, apart from the uncertainties arising from the Group’s
and the Company’s debt restructuring scheme, which has a bearing on the Group’s
and Company’s status as going concerns, as detailed in Note 3 to the Accounts:-

(i) there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and
the date of this report any other item, transaction or event of a material and
unusual nature likely to affect substantially the results of the operations of the
Group or of the Company for the financial year in which this report is made;
and

(ii) no contingent or other liability has become enforceable, or is likely to become


enforceable, within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial
year which will or may affect the abilities of the Group or of the Company to
meet their obligations as and when they fall due.
8
Company No:
165126 - M

(III) AS AT THE DATE OF THIS REPORT

(e) There are no charges on the assets of the Company and its subsidia ry companies
which have arisen since the end of the financial year to secure the liabilities of any
other person.
(f) There are no contingent liabilities which have arisen since the end of the financial
year.
(g) The directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in the
report or accounts which would render any amount stated in the accounts of the
Group and of the Company misleading.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

(I) DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR

On 7 April 1999 and 9 September 1999, Special Administrators were appointed by


Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad, pursuant to Section 24 of the Pengurusan
Danaharta Nasional Berhad Act 1998, to manage the assets and affairs of Malaysia
Electric Corporation Berhad (“MECB”) and MEC Industrial Park Sdn. Bhd. (“MIP”)
respectively. The proposed restructuring scheme formulated by the Special
Administrators, which is currently pending approval by the relevant authorities, includes a
position assessment of MECB based on the management accounts as at 31 March 1999
showing the return to shareholders at nil value. As such, the directors of the Company
are of the opinion that the investment in MECB be written off.

(II) SUBSEQUENT TO THE FINANCIAL YEAR

(a) On 8 June 2000, as part of the debt restructuring scheme, the Company and Dato’
Patrick Lim Soo Kit, as agent for all the shareholders (“Equine Vendors”) of
Taman Equine (M) Sdn. Bhd. (“TESB”), entered into an agreement to facilitate the
proposed acquisition of the entire issued and paid-up capital of TESB comprising
1,500,000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each.

Prior to the finalisation of the debt restructuring scheme, the Equine Vendors are
prohibited from disposing their equity interests in TESB and the Company is
required to ensure that the Company will not undertake any arrangement which
would result in a change in the control of the Company.

(b) On 30 June 2000, in order to facilitate the debt restructuring scheme, Special
Administrators were appointed by Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad,
pursuant to Section 23 of the Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad Act 1998:-
(i) to take possession of the assets of the Company;
(ii) to manage the business and operations of the Company; and
(iii) to assess the business viability of the Company.

The Special Administrators shall prepare and submit a debt restructuring proposal to
Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad for the Company to continue as a going
concern. In order to preserve the assets of the Company until the Special
Administrators are able to complete their tasks, a twelve-month moratorium on any
legal action by creditors has taken effect immediately upon the appointment of the
Special Administrators.

REPORT OF THE AUDITORS


TO THE MEMBERS OF KUALA LUMPUR INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS BERHAD
(Special Administrators Appointed)

We have audited the accounts set out on pages 11 to 52. The preparation of the accounts is the
responsibility of the directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the accounts based on
our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing, except that the scope
of our work was limited as explained below. The approved standards on auditing require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accounts are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the accounts. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall
accounts presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
However, the evidence available to us was limited as follows:-

(a) Going Concern


As detailed in Notes 3 and 38(II)(b) to the Accounts, Special Administrators have been
appointed by Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad, pursuant to Section 23 of the
Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad Act 1998, to take possession of the assets, manage
the business and operations of the Company and assess its business viability. The Special
Administrators shall prepare and submit a debt restructuring proposal to Pengurusan
Danaharta Nasional Berhad for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The accounts of the Group and of the Company have been prepared on a going concern
basis, the validity of which depends critically on the successful implementation of the debt
restructuring scheme and the continuing support of the bankers and creditors. As the
scheme has yet to be finalised, we have not been able to assess the reasonableness of the
directors’ assumptions concerning the Group’s and the Company’s status as going concerns
and their abilities to pay their liabilities as and when they fall due.
Should the going concern basis of preparing the accounts be inappropriate, adjustments will
have to be made to reduce the values of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for
any further losses and other liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify fixed assets and
long term liabilities as current assets and liabilities.

(b) Investments
As detailed in Notes 12(a) and 13 to the Accounts, the Group’s interest in a joint venture in
the Republic of Uzbekistan which is held by a subsidiary company, Crystal Mist Sdn. Bhd.
(“CMSB”) amounts to RM86,156,627 and the related goodwill has a carrying value of
RM29,685,615.
The joint venture agreement, signed between CMSB and a company in the Republic of
Uzbekistan has since expired and renovation and refurbishment work on the project by
CMSB has ceased. Although an extension to the agreement was granted, no further work
has since been carried out by CMSB.

REPORT OF THE AUDITORS


TO THE MEMBERS OF KUALA LUMPUR INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS BERHAD
(continued)
(Special Administrators Appointed)

As the completion of the joint venture project would require further substantial financial
commitments on the part of CMSB, we are unable to determine if CMSB or the Group will
have adequate resources to complete the said project. Should the inadequacy of resources
result in the termination of the joint venture, the carrying value of the investment and its
related goodwill may need to be written down.

In view of the significance of the matters referred to above, we are unable to form an opinion as
to whether the accounts have been properly drawn up in accordance with applicable approved
accounting standards, so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of
the Company as at 31 March 2000 and of their results and the cash flows of the Group for the
financial year then ended and comply with the Companies Act, 1965.

However, in our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to
be kept by the Company and its subsidiary companies of which we acted as auditors have been
properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

We have considered the accounts and the auditors’ report of a subsidiary company of which we
have not acted as auditors, as shown in Note 6 to the Accounts being accounts that have been
included in the consolidated accounts.

We are satisfied that the accounts of the subsidiary companies that have been consolidated with
the Company’s accounts are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the
preparation of the consolidated accounts and we have received satisfactory information and
explanation as required for those purposes.

The auditors’ reports on the accounts of the subsidiary companies that have been consolidated
were not subject to any qualification and did not include any comment made under Section 174(3)
of the Act except as detailed in Note 6 to the Accounts.

(Incorporated in Malaysia)
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
31 MARCH 2000

1. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activities of the Company are that of investment holding and provision of
corporate and financial support to its subsidiary companies. The activities of the subsidiary
companies are set out in Note 6 to the Accounts.

There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the financial
year.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE ACCOUNTS

The accounts of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the
provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable approved accounting standards.

3. FUNDAMENTAL ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS

As at 31 March 2000, the net current liabilities of the Group and of the Company amounting to
RM541,184,482 and RM462,632,012 respectively; and a deficit in shareholders’ funds of the
Group and of the Company amounting to RM74,152,992 and RM253,038,968 respectively,
indicate that the Group and the Company may not be able to meet their liabilities as and when
they fall due.

As detailed in Note 38(II)(b) to the Accounts, on 30 June 2000, Special Administrators were
appointed by Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad, pursuant to Section 23 of the
Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad Act 1998, to take possession of the assets, manage
the business and operations of the Company and assess its business viability. The Special
Administrators shall prepare and submit a debt restructuring proposal to Pengurusan
Danaharta Nasional Berhad for the Company to continue as a going concern.

The accounts of the Group and the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis on
the assumption that the Group and the Company will continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future. The validity of this assumption, however, depends critically on the
successful implementation of the debt restructuring scheme and the availability of financing to
meet their liabilities as and when they fall due.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

4.1 Basis of Accounting

The accounts of the Group and of the Company have been prepared under the historical
cost convention modified by the revaluation of certain land and buildings.

4.2 Basis of Consolidation

Except for MECB and its subsidiary companies, which have been written off, as
detailed in Note 7 to the Accounts, the accounts of the Company and all other subsidiary
companies are consolidated using the ‘acquisition method’ of consolidation. All
significant inter-company transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

The excess of the cost of investments over the fair value of the net tangible assets of
the subsidiary companies determined at acquisition date is shown in the consolidated
balance sheet as goodwill on consolidation.

The goodwill on consolidation is evaluated on a regular basis to determine the amount, if


any, of the goodwill that should be written off. This regular evaluation carried out by the
directors takes into account, inter-alia, the future potential earnings of the respective
subsidiary companies.

4.3 Associated Companies

Associated companies are those companies in which the Company has long term equity
investment of between 20% and 50% and is in a position to exercise significant
influence over the financial and operating policies of the investee companies.

The Group’s share of the results of associated companies is included in the consolidated
profit and loss account and the Group’s share of post-acquisition retained profits and
reserves is added to the cost of investment in the consolidated balance sheet.

In line with the Group’s policy on goodwill, the premium on acquisition is evaluated on a
regular basis to determine the amount, if any, of the premium that should be written off.

4.4 Interest in Joint Ventures

(a) Jointly Controlled Entities

Interest in jointly controlled entities are stated at cost, less accumulated


amortisation, unless in the opinion of the directors, there has been a permanent
decline in value in which case, an additional provision for diminution in value is
made.

The cost of investment in jointly controlled entities are amortised over the life of
the joint venture projects as defined in the terms of joint venture agreements
effective from commencement of operation of the jointly controlled entities.

The Group’s share of result in the jointly controlled entities are accounted for
using equity accounting based on the latest audited or management accounts.
23

(b) Jointly Controlled Operations

Interest in jointly controlled operations comprise relevant development expenditure

of completion method. When foreseeable losses are anticipated in the operations,
full provision of these losses is made in the accounts.

of 52 to 99 years. Golf course is amortised over the term of lease of 58 years.

Motor vehicles 20%

estimation by a qualified actuary using a mathematical method.

their purchase cost and depreciated on the same basis as owned assets. The total
amount payable under the hire purchase and lease agreements is included under hire

The freehold land and building of a subsidiary company were revalued by the directors in
1992, based on valuation reports prepared by independent professional valuers, at their open
market values on the ‘existing use’ basis. The valuation has not been updated as the directors
have not adopted a policy of regular revaluation. As permitted under the transitional
provisions of International Accounting Standard No. 16 (Revised) - Property, Plant and
Equipment, the assets are stated at their 1992 valuation less accumulated depreciation.

Had the revalued assets been carried at cost less depreciation, the carrying amounts would

6. INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES (continued)

The auditors’ report on the accounts of all subsidiary companies except for The People’s
Insurance Company (Malaysia) Berhad was qualified on disclaimer of opinion due to the
uncertainty regarding the status of the subsidiary companies as going concerns and their
abilities to pay their liabilities as and when they fall due.

The ability of these subsidiary companies to continue to operate as going concerns will be
critically dependent on future profitable operations, continuing financial support from their
bankers and the approval and successful implementation of the Group’s debt restructuring
scheme.

The accounts of these subsidiary companies do not include the effects of any adjustments
which may be required should the going concern basis of preparing the accounts be
inappropriate.

Furthermore, the auditors’ report on the accounts of a subsidiary company, Crystal Mist Sdn.
Bhd. has also been qualified on the uncertainty of whether provision needs to be made
against the carrying value of an investment amounting to RM86,156,627.

Electric Corporation Berhad (“MECB”) and MEC Industrial Park Sdn. Bhd. (“MIP”)

Administrators, which is currently pending approval by the relevant authorities,
includes a position assessment of MECB based on the management accounts as at 31

the Company are of the opinion that the investment in MECB be written off.

(II) SUBSEQUENT TO THE FINANCIAL YEAR

Vendors”) of Taman Equine (M) Sdn. Bhd. (“TESB”), entered into an
agreement to facilitate the proposed acquisition of the entire issued and paid-up
capital of TESB comprising 1,500,000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each.

Prior to the finalisation of the debt restructuring scheme, the Equine Vendors
are prohibited from disposing their equity interests in TESB and the Company is
required to ensure that the Company will not undertake any arrangement which
would result in a change in the control of the Company.

(b) On 30 June 2000, in order to facilitate the debt restructuring scheme, Special
Administrators were appointed by Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad,
pursuant to Section 23 of the Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad Act
1998:-

proposal to Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad for the Company to
continue as a going concern. In order to preserve the assets of the Company
until the Special Administrators are able to complete their tasks, a twelve-month
