Environmental management activities during the year are well demonstrated during
the implementation of our project sites at:
1) Subang Kelana Roadwork Project
2) Putrajaya Mosque at Precinct 3
3) 2C2 Hotel Basement at Precinct 2, Putrajaya

The Subang Kelana road project is located at the densely populated area in Subang Jaya. The sensitivity of environmental issues during construction
are the utmost importance not only being monitored by the local authority, Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya but also by the Residents Association.
We are .

The construction of Putrajaya Mosque and 2C2 Hotel Basement in Putrajaya are directly adjacent to the Putrajaya Lake. The main concern at these
projects is the monitoring of water quality that is related to silt trap discharge and surface run-off to the lake. With proper and systematic control and
maintenance of silt traps and perimeter drainage, the discharge of water and surface run-off to the lake is within the acceptable limit and the client
and the local authority are satisfied with our standards. We welcome any comments included in the non-compliance report and observation reports
issued by client and our internal auditors during audit exercises as we believe these comments would improve the system to avoid any spillage of
sediments and other aqueous materials to the lake.

The basic items that were monitored in the projects were:

(1) Silt Traps Discharge Monitoring


Silt Traps were constructed at site together with the perimeter earth drains and sand bags as bunds to intercept and channel the surface water
run-off within the construction site that contains sediments to the silt traps. The silt traps and earth drains are maintained regularly to ensure
the effectiveness of the system.

(2) Water Quality Monitoring


The most important indicator during the site clearing and earthwork activities is the total suspended solid. Monthly monitoring were done during
the construction stage to monitor the rate of change compared to the reading taken prior to the commencement of work and the ambient
values at the site and downstream or nearby water ways.

38
environmental management activities at project sites

(3) Air Quality Monitoring


The ambient air monitoring was carried out to determine the characteristics at the sensitive receptor namely in the areas of Subang Jaya
residential areas and Putrajaya Administrative centre. Monthly monitoring was done to ensure that the total suspended particles concentration
is well below the hazard value.

(4) Noise Quality Monitoring


Noise level readings were taken using a pre calibrated precision integrating noise meter where the equipment was set up at the open space
within the project sites. The monitoring were done during the day and night time to record the noise level due to the construction activities.

The basic complaints at sites from our previous records are usually in relation to the following items as listed below. However, we always conduct
remedial measures so as to minimize or eradicate the issues. The action plans too were tabled to the Local Authorities (Majlis Perbandaran Subang
Jaya and Putrajaya Corporation) and also during the progress monitoring meeting.

a) Erosion and Sedimentation Control


Sand bags, concrete blocks / rocks and proper maintenance of perimeter drains are constantly used to filter and intercept the surface run-off
and also to act as barrier towards landslides. Temporary turfing is also done to minimize the problems.

b) Solid Waste
Waste bins are provided at designated locations and all the wastes should be disposed at an approved dump site. An area for construction
debris too was designated within the site.

c) Temporary Toilets
To provide a clean sanitary condition, portable toilets were used at construction sites beside the standard temporary toilets. For portable toilets,
maintenance was carried every alternate days and desludging were done regularly.

d) Housekeeping
Housekeeping of sites was carried out by ‘gotong royong’ exercise between site staff, workers and other subcontractors. The ‘gotong royong’
is normally done on a weekly basis.

e) Mosquito and Pest Control


The rodent and pest control services were engaged to carry out the mosquito and pest control activities at sites. The services include the
application of abate spraying and fogging which were carried out fortnightly.

Conclusion

We in AZRB believe that for the successful implementation of an effective environmental programme, a sense of responsibility is to be embraced
by all personnel involved in the projects. Because of this, we are constantly raising the level of our awareness, knowledge and commitment so as to
ens

39
Quality

We believe that quality enhances the value and reputation towards our
continued growth. We strive to provide quality and valued added services to
our customer’s satisfaction.
The objective of Quality Policy are :-
• Meeting the expectations of the Client and to comply with statutory and regulatory requirements
• Instill values of doing things right the first time, every time
• Promote Quality within AZSB, Suppliers and Sub-Contractors
• Continuously improve our processes to meet and exceed MS ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System
• Work in a responsible manner in harmony with the natural and cultural environment.

The achievement of ISO 9000 certification since year 2000 for its construction arm Ahmad Zaki Sdn Bhd (AZSB), testifies the Group commitment
towards its mission of being a trusted leader in delivering commitment with excellence and value. The successful upgrading of the ISO certification
from ISO 9002:1994 to ISO 9001:2000 shows the commitment and sensitivity towards the latest requirements and our willingness to change for
continuous improvement to pursue quality excellence.

In October 2005, AZSB obtained the SIRIM QAS recertification of ISO 9001:2000. Ahmad Zaki Resources Bhd also has been certified under the
provision of construction services for civil and building engineering works. All domestic and overseas projects undertaken by the company have
implemented the Quality Management System.

Customer Satisfaction Survey are conducted annually to measure the level of our customer satisfaction towards our work. It is then analysed and
used as a tool to improve the quality of our services to enhance customer satisfaction.

Project management, administration skills, technical knowledge and product quality are among the key performance index used and evaluated by
all clients on our project teams.

The system is a self access system where all approvals such as shop drawings, method statements and materials are vetted through by the QAQC
prior to submission to the Consultant or Client for approval. Staff will inspect the work first and if found satisfactory, the work will then be run through
the Consultant or Client for inspection. Thus, we apply our work culture for doing things right, the first time and every time.

The quality system, trainings and promotions is intended to cultivate a culture based on quality awareness not only within our staff, but extended to
all those involved with the Group’s activities and the company ensures that the programme is always conducted on a continuous basis.

Currently, the continued improvements of the system are being planned and implemented in-conjunction with the growth of the company and its
increased turnover. In line with the company’s policy to venture into overseas market, the project management system and the products delivered
must now meet the international standards.

quality, safety and health policy

Internal Quality Audit is being carried out twice a year on all projects and departments to ensure effective implementation and compliance of the
system along with the external audit by SIRIM QAS Sdn Bhd which is done once a year. Performance of the system is constantly being measured,
monitored and where applicable, improvements are made through corrective and preventive actions.

Safety And Health

Being a responsible corporate citizen, the Group is committed to ensure all employees work in a safe and healthy environment, therefore safety and
health considerations will not be compromised in all company activities. Building a strong safety minded culture among all staff, workers, subcontractors
and suppliers is integral to the company construction activities.

The Group believes that human resources are an asset to the company, thus the development of their safety and health aspects and awareness are
the top priority. Staffs are continuously sent for trainings and awareness programmes in safety and health including inductions, occupational safety
and health practices, fire fighting, first aid and emergency response training and drills. These are in line with the Group’s commitment to achieve
accident free environment.

Periodical safety audits are being carried out by internal auditors and also by external auditors (NIOSH Certification Sdn Bhd) to ensure compliance
to the system.

With our diligent efforts towards safety and health in compliance with the legislative requirements, the Group’s construction arm Ahmad Zaki Sdn
Bhd was certified as an OHSAS 18001 company in September 2004. Being OHSAS 18001 certified, the commitment from the top management,
dedicated safety officers and organizing of safety awareness campaign programs annually to all our project sites and headquarters as well, lies
testimony of the Group’s concerted endeavor towards the safety and health of its employees.

The company’s approach by introducing the partnering concept to all staff, workers, subcontractors and suppliers not only in project management
but also in safety and health aspect has ensured the successful implementation of the safety and health policy.

Among the continual activities implemented are :-


• Enhancement of Safety and Health subcontract agreement

have been accepted, the risks are briefed to the workers during the tool box meeting.

The concerted effort put by the staff, workers and subcontractors in implementation the safety and health procedures have been recognized by the
authorities. The Company’s achievement in safety and quality was recognized when it was short listed as one of the three finalists in construction
industry category in the National Safety Awards 2005.

Construction Division

2005 was a challenging year for our construction division. The industry
contracted 1.1% compared to a similar contraction of 1.5% in 2004. The
trend has remained in the past two years which saw the construction industry
experiencing a negative growth. This was primarily due to the lower spending
on infrastructure projects and also the sharp decline in civil engineering
activity due to the completion of several major projects in the country.

As such, our construction division has registered a lower growth of revenue for 2005 of RM212 million against RM223 million
in 2004. However, operational profit before share of joint venture and associated companies, financing income, charges
and taxation, has improved compared to the preceding year with Profit After Tax improving from RM13.2 million in 2004 to
RM22.4 million in 2005.

review of operations

In 2005, two (2) project were completed and was successfully handed over :-

Ampang Hospital, Ampang, Selangor


The 562-bed Ampang Hospital was built by AZRB on a turnkey basis on a 10-acre piece of land in Taman Pandan Mewah, Ampang, Selangor.
The 8-floor Ampang Hospital accommodates 562 hospitals beds and has a hostel for nurses along with a separate car park area. It will provide
second degree treatment for residents in the Ampang and its surrounding areas as well as those living in Klang Valley, and third degree treatment
for Endocrinology and Respiratory.

Ampang Hospital is a Tertiary standard hospital and is equipped with Total Hospital Information System (THIS) which is integrated with clinical systems
such as Laboratory Information System (LIS), Clinical Information System (CIS), OIS, Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), Hospital
Administration and Financial Information Systems (HIS).

AZRB is currently maintaining the Ampang Hospital for a two-year period as contractually required under the Defect Liability Period.

Putrajaya Auditorium Complex


The Putrajaya Auditorium Complex is located in the Federal Administrative capital of Putrajaya. Construction started in 2002 and the project was
successfully handed over to the Putrajaya Corporation in mid 2005.

The building’s design concept is based on creating a main public events area within Putrajaya, housing specialized facilities integrating all other
developments within the complex. The entire design of the complex is a retrospect look of floating pebble housed within a box frame. This promotes
the air of transparency and the free flow of pedestrian movement. The auditorium complex comprises the auditorium itself and an annex block and
both the auditorium and annex block are linked together via a link bridge.

Overall, the auditorium complex infuses an aura of environmental ambience created by the use of combining aluminium framed glazed curtain wall as
well as the screen wall. The main feature of the complex is the main auditorium hall. The hall houses 650 plush carpeted seatings throughout and is
complemented by the “Galaxy” ceiling concept. The perimeter walls symbolizes the traditional “Anyaman” design which is an infusion of Semangkuk
timber enhanced by the shade of gold when lighted up.

With this prestigious landmark in our nation’s Federal Administrative capital, the complex will play host to a multitude of stage performances and events
such as theatre, musicals, orchestras, operas and will undoubtedly elevate Putrajaya’s status for the future of arts and literature in the country.

Our experience and expertise has been acknowledged by our peers and competitors in the industry and we have created
a solid reputation as the constructor of architecturally aesthetic buildings which calls for excellent craftsmanship. This has
been evident in our other past completed construction projects such as the Formula 1 Racing Circuit in Sepang, Lim Kok
Wing University College of Creativity, the many fine buildings of the International Islamic University, the KLIA Mosque, the
Kiblat Walk,
Petronas Technology University and the Federal Territory Mosque in Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur. Putrajaya Mosque,
Putrajaya

Despite the challenging conditions facing the construction industry, our construction division has increased its current
unbilled order book to RM1.5 billion. The division is also confident of securing more projects listed under the 9th Malaysia
Plan that was recently outlined by the Government.

Oil and Gas Division

Our oil and gas subsidiaries, Inter Century Sdn Bhd (ICSB) and Astral Far East Sdn Bhd (AFESB) are now well positioned to take advantage in the
increase of demand and consumption of oil and oil related products such as fuel, diesel, lubricants etc etc. ICSB in hand has a 5 years’ contract
with PETRONAS Dagangan Berhad, which is expiring on 31st May 2008 with 5 years renewal option, to supply fuel to marine and offshore vessels.
The division believes that with the increase in the concentration of oil-related activities such as oil exploration and oil production activities which in
turn would lead to increased demand in fuel, diesel, lubricants, etc for the offshore vessels. As such, this division has the potential to deliver better
performance in 2006.

In the future, the division could increase its bunkering capacity should the price situation persist or an opportunity to increase its activity beyond its
current operation into downstream activities.

Oil and Gas Activities Nursery at PT Ichtiar Gusti Pudi, Kalimantan, Indonesia

Plantation

In December 2004, the Group acquired an Indonesian company, PT Ichtiar Gusti Pudi (IGP). With the acquisition, the Group has established a presence
in the oil palm industry and PT IGP had been granted the permission to cultivate (Izin Lokasi) oil palm with a total area of 20,500 hectares which is
inclusive of the rights for cultivation (Hak Guna Usaha) of 8,2709.07 hectares of palm oil in Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia.

Currently, there are over 700,000 seedlings in the nursery area (pre-nursery and main nursery) totaling 50 hectares which is Stage 1 of the planting.
Some of these have been transported in stages into the main nursery or Stage 2 after 3 months being in the pre-nursery. We anticipate commencing
actual field planting of the oil palm seedlings in October 2006.

Property Development

In light of the soft market conditions, no major development was undertaken throughout the year under review for the Groups’ only the development
project, namely the Taman Industri Paka at Paka, Dungun, Terengganu. Our subsidiary, Kemaman Technology and Industrial Park Sdn Bhd is planning
to restructure its focus from industrial lots to residential development on the balance undeveloped area. The proposal is still at the study stage and
any further development is dependent on the outcome of the market analysis. Owing to the above scenario, no significant contribution from this
division is expected in the immediate future.

83
notes to the financial statements cont’d

2. Basis Of Preparation Of The Financial Statements (cont’d)

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention modified to include the revaluation
of leasehold land and building unless otherwise indicated in the summary of significant accounting policies. Certain leasehold land of the
subsidiary company are stated in the Group’s financial statements at values reflecting the effective acquisition costs to the Group (group cost)
of those assets.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies adopted by the Group and the Company are consistent with those adopted in previous financial years.

(a) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the audited financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies, which
are listed in note 6 to the financial statements, made up to 31st December, 2005. All significant intragroup balances, transactions and
resulting unrealised profits are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are eliminated on consolidation unless cost cannot be
recovered. The consolidated financial statements reflect external transactions only.

The financial statements of the subsidiary companies acquired or disposed of during the year are included in consolidated financial
statem .

The gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary company is the difference between net disposal proceeds and the Group’s share of its net
assets together with any unamortised balance of goodwill or reserve on consolidation.

(b) Goodwill or Reserve on Consolidation

Goodwill or reserve on consolidation represents the difference between the consideration paid for shares in subsidiary companies or
associated companies and the fair values attributable to the Group’s share of net assets acquired.

Goodwill on consolidation is amortised over a period of ten years or the expected useful life, whichever is shorter, commencing in the
year of acquisition of subsidiary company or associated company. Reserve on consolidation is amortised over a period of three years
or the expected useful life, whichever is shorter, commencing one year after the year of acquisition of subsidiary company or associated
company. Goodwill on consolidation is written down when there is an impairment in their carrying value.

(c) Subsidiary Company

A subsidiary company is defined as a company in which the Group has a long term equity interest, directly or indirectly, and has control
over its financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits therefrom.

Investment in subsidiary company, which are eliminated on consolidation, are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any,

84
notes to the financial statements cont’d

in the Company’s financial statements. Impairment loss is determined on individual basis.

(d) Associated Company

An associated company is defined as a company, not being a subsidiary company, in which the Group has a long term equity interest and
has significant influence over its financial and operating policies.

Investments in associated companies are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any, in the Company’s financial
statements.

Investments in associated companies are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by the equity method of accounting based
on audited financial statements of the associated companies. The Group’s share of post-acquisition results of associated companies is
included in the consolidated income statement. The Group’s interest in associated companies is stated at cost plus the Group’s share of
post-acquisition changes in the net assets of the associated companies.

The Group’s share of post-acquisition losses is restricted to the carrying value of in that associated company. Should the associated
company subsequently reports profits, the Group will only resume to recognise its share of profits after its share of profits equal to its
share of losses previously not recognised.

(e) Joint Venture

Joint venture is defined as a contractual arrangement entered into by two or more parties to undertake a jointly controlled economic
activity in which no single venturer has unilateral control in the financial and operating decisions of the joint venture.

Interest in joint venture which does not involve any establishment of a separate entity is accounted for in the financial statements based
on the agreed share of the results, assets and liabilities of the joint venture.

Investment in joint venture which involves an establishment of a separate entity is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if
any, in the financial statements. Where consolidated financial statements are prepared, the interest in the joint venture entity is accounted
for using the equity method based on the audited financial statements of the entity. The consolidated income statement includes the
Group’s share of the entity’s results of the operation. In the consolidated balance sheet, the Group’s interest is stated at cost and adjusted
for the Group’s share of changes in the net assets of the entity.

(f) Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, except for
freehold land which is not amortised.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated to write off their costs on a straight line basis over their estimated useful
lives.

85
notes to the financial statements cont’d

3. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:-

Leasehold land Over the remaining lease period of 23 and 77 years


Buildings 2%
Office equipment 10% - 20%
Furniture and fittings 10% - 20%
Plant and machinery 10% - 20%
Motor vehicles 20%
Renovation 20%

Fully depreciated property, plant and equipment are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use and no further
charge for depreciation is made in respect of these property, plant and equipment.

Gain or loss arising from the disposal of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment and is recognised in the income statement.

(g Impairment of Assets

The carrying amounts of assets other than inventories, assets arising from construction contracts, deferred tax assets and financial assets
are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such an indication exists, the
asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount is the higher of net selling price and the value in use, which is measured
by reference to discounted future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an item of asset exceeds
its recoverable amount.

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement. However, an impairment loss on a revalued asset will be treated
as a revaluation deficit to the extent that the loss does not exceed the amount held in revaluation reserve in respect of the same asset.

Reversal of impairment loss due to a subsequent increase in recoverable amount is restricted to the carrying amount that would have
been determined (net of accumulated depreciation, where applicable) had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. The
reversal of impairment loss is recognised as revenue in the income statement. However, the reversal of impairment loss on a revalued
asset will be treated as revaluation surplus to the extent that the reversal does not exceed the amount previously held in revaluation
reserve in respect of the same asset.

(h) Investment Properties

Investment properties comprise land, buildings and expenditure incurred for development of properties which are held for investment
potential. In the subsidiary’s financial statements, these investment properties are stated at valuation less accumulated impairment
losses, if any, and additions subsequent to the date of last valuation are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. In
the consolidated financial statements, these properties are initially stated at the Group’s cost and would be revalued subsequently in

86
notes to the financial statements cont’d

accordance with the Group’s revaluation policy. It is the Group’s policy to maintain the buildings in a high standard and condition. As such,
these properties maintain their residual value of not less than their respective book value such that depreciation would be negligible. In view
of this, no depreciation is provided for these properties. The related maintenance expenditure is dealt with in the income statement.

The open market value of these properties will be appraised at least once in every five (5) years by independent professional valuers. A
surplus arising therefrom is credited to revaluation reserve. However, a surplus will be recognised as revenue to the extent that it reverses
a revaluation deficit of the same property previously recognised as an expenses. A deficit arising therefrom is recognised as an expense.
However, a deficit will be set-off against any related revaluation surplus to the extent that the deficit does not exceed the amount held in
revaluation reserve in respect of the same property.

On disposal of these properties, any surplus in revaluation reserve relating to these properties will be transferred to retained profits.

(i) New Planting Expenditure

New planting expenditure incurred on land clearing and upkeep of trees to maturity is capitalised as costs and is amortised upon maturity
over the remaining lease period of the leasehold land.

(j) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value and are costed on the first-in-first-out basis. Cost includes the actual
cost of purchases and incidentals in bringing the inventories into store. Cost of completed development properties is determined on
specific identification basis and includes land, construction and appropriate development overheads.

In arriving at the net realisable value, due allowance would be made for obsolete and slow moving items.

(k) Construction Contracts

Contract work-in-progress consists of cost incurred to date plus a proportion of estimated profit attributable to contract work performed
to date less progress billings received and receivable. Contract costs include direct materials, labour, sub-contract costs and attributable
construction overheads. Where foreseeable losses on contract are anticipated, full provision of these losses is made in the financial
statements.

The aggregate of the costs incurred plus the profit/loss recognised on each contract is compared against the respective progress billings
up to the end of the financial year. The excess of costs incurred plus recognised profit (less recognised losses) over progress billings,
is shown as ‘Amount due from customers for contract work’ under current assets. Conversely, the excess of progress billings over
costs incurred and recognised profit (less recognised losses), is shown as ‘Amount due to customers for contract work’ under current
liabilities.

87
notes to the financial statements cont’d

3. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

(l) Property Development Costs

Property development costs comprise all costs that are directly attributable to development activities or that can be allocated on a
reasonable basis to such activities. Costs consists of land and construction costs and other development costs including related overheads
and capitalised borrowing costs.

When the financial outcome of a development activity can be reliably estimated, development revenue and costs are recognised in the
income statement by reference to the stage of completion of development activities at the balance sheet date.

When the financial outcome of a development activity cannot be reliably estimated, development revenue is recognised only to the extent
of development costs incurred that is probable will be recoverable, and development costs on properties sold are recognised as an
expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Any expected loss on a development project is recognised as an expense immediately.

Property development costs not recognised as an expense is recognised as an asset, which is measured at the lower of cost and net
realisable value.

Accrued billings as current assets represents the excess of revenue recognised in the income statement over billings to purchasers.
Progress

(m) Capitalisation of Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs incurred on borrowings related to property, plant and equipment, development properties and investment properties are
capitalised during the period when activities to plan, develop and construct these assets are undertaken. Capitalisation of borrowing costs
ceases when these assets are ready for their intended use or sale.

(n) Hire Purchase

Hire purchase instalment plans are agreements whereby the lender conveys to the hirer, in return for a series of instalment payments, the
r .

Cost of property, plant and equipment acquired under the hire purchase instalment plans are capitalised as property, plant and equipment
and depreciated in accordance with the Group’s policy on depreciation of property, plant and equipment . The related finance charges are
allocated to the income statement over the period of the instalment plans based on the sum-of-digit method so as to produce a constant
periodic rate of interest charges on the remaining balance of the liability. The total outstanding instalment payments after deducting the
future finance charges, representing the present value of hire purchase liabilities, are included in liabilities.

88
notes to the financial statements cont’d

(o) Lease

Lease is an agreement whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee, in return for a series of minimum lease payments, the rights to use an
asset for an agreed lease term.

Property, plant and equipment on leases that transfer substantially all risks and rewards incident to ownership are accounted for under
finance lease method in which the fair market value of the leased property, plant and equipment or, if lower at the present value of the
minimum lease payments, are capitalised as property, plant and equipment and depreciated in accordance with the Group’s policy on
depreciation of property, plant and equipment. The present value of the minimum lease payments is calculated based on discount factor
equivalent to the interest rate implicit in the lease. The related finance charges are allocated to the income statement based on the sum-
of-digit method so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest charges on the remaining balance of the liability. The total outstanding
minimum lease payments after deducting the future finance charges representing the present value of minimum lease payments, are
included in liabilities.

All other leases are accounted for under the operating lease method in which the minimum lease payments are recognised as expenses
in the income statement as and when they are incurred.

(p) Foreign Currencies

(i) Transactions in foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into Ringgit Malaysia at the rate of exchange ruling at the time of the transaction
and where settlement had not taken place at year end, at the approximate rates ruling as at that date. All gains and losses on
exchange are included in the income statement.

(ii) Translation of foreign currency financial statements

Assets, liabilities and reserves of foreign subsidiary company are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at the rates of exchange
approximating those ruling as at the financial year end. Income and expense items are translated at the average rate of exchange
for the financial year. The translation differences arising therefrom are recorded as movements in translation reserve.

The exchange rate (denominated in units of Ringgit Malaysia per foreign currency) used in translation at the financial year end are
as follows:-
2005 2004
RM RM

United States Dollar (US$) 3.7775 -


India Rupee (Rs) 0.0833 0.0878

3. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

(q) Taxation

Taxation in the income statement represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount
payable in respect of taxable income for the year and any adjustments recognised for prior years’ tax.

Deferred tax is recognised, using the liability method, on all temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary differences arises from goodwill or negative
goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, which is not a business combination and at the time of the
transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the
period in which the assets are realised or the liabilities are settled.

Deferred tax is recognised in equity when it relates to items recognised directly in equity. When deferred tax arises from business
combination that is an acquisition, the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or negative goodwill.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there are sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same taxation
a

(r) Revenue Recognition

Dividend revenue from investment in subsidiaries, associated companies and other investments is recognised when the right to receive
the dividend is established.

(t) Employee Benefits

(i) Short Term Employee Benefits

Wages, salaries, social security contributions, bonuses are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services
are rendered by employees of the Group. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave ar

term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

(ii) Defined Contribution Plans

As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the Employees’ Provident Fund. Such contributions are recognised
as an expense in the income statement as incurred.

(iii) Equity Compensation Benefits

The Employees’ Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”) allows the Group’s employees to acquire shares in the Company. No compensation
cost or obligation is recognised. When the options are exercised, equity is increased by the amount of the proceeds received.

(u) Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are classified as assets, liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.
Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to financial instruments classified as assets or liabilities are reported as expense or revenue.
Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset when the
Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.

The recognised financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, other
non-current investments, bank borrowings and ordinary shares. These instruments are recognised in the financial statements when a
contract or contractual arrangement has been entered into with the counter-parties.

The unrecognised financial instruments comprise financial guarantees given to financial institutions for banking and credit facilities granted
to an associated company and subsidiary companies and legal claims by suppliers. The financial guarantees and legal claims would be
recognised as liabilities when obligations to pay the counter-parties are assessed as being probable.

(i) Receivables

Receivables are stated at cost less allowance for doubtful debts, if any, which are the anticipated realisable values. Known bad debts
are written off and specific allowance is made for those debts considered to be doubtful of collection.

income statement.

(iv) Interest Bearing Bank Borrowings

The interest bearing bank borrowings include bank overdrafts and loans and are stated at the amount of proceeds received, net
of transaction costs.

(v) Equity Instruments

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are
declared.

The transaction costs of an equity transaction, other than in the context of a business combination, are accounted for as a
deduction from equity, net of tax. Equity transaction costs comprise only those external costs directly attributable to the equity
transaction which would otherwise have been avoided. Cost of issuing equity securities in connection with a business combination
are included in the cost of acquisition.

50. Financial Instruments

(a) Financial Risk Management Policies

The Group is exposed to a variety of risks in the formal course of business. The Company’s risk management seeks to minimize the potential
adverse effects from these exposures. The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as follows:-

(i) Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of its normal trade activities when the currency denomination differs from
its functional currency. Foreign exchange exposures in transactional currencies other than functional currencies of the operating
entities are kept to an acceptable level.

(ii) Interest Rate Risk

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk relates to interest bearing financial assets and liabilities:-

- Interest bearing financial assets

Cash deposits are short term in nature and are not held for speculative purposes but are placed to satisfy conditions for bank
guarantee and borrowing facilities granted to the Group and for better yield returns than cash at banks.

The Group manages its interest rate yield by prudently balancing the placement of deposits with varying maturity periods.

- Interest bearing financial liabilities

The Group manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining a prudent mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings. The Group
actively reviews its debt portfolio, taking into account the investment holding period and the nature of its assets. This strategy
allows it to capitalise on cheaper funding in a low interest rate environment and achieve a certain level of protection against
rate hikes.

(iii) Credit Risk

The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from its receivables and the maximum risk associated with recognised financial assets is
the carrying amounts as presented in the balance sheet.

The Group has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is managed through the tendering assessment and evaluation
process, application of credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any individual customer.

50. Financial Instruments (cont’d)


(iv) Liquidity and Cash Flow Risks

The Group actively manages its operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure that all repayment and funding
needs are met. As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the Group maintains sufficient levels of cash to meet its working
capital requirements.

(b) Fair Values

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial assets and liabilities are as follows:-

(i) Cash and Bank Balances, Cash Deposits, Trade and Other Receivables and Payables

The carrying amounts approximate fair values due to the relatively short term maturities of these financial assets and liabilities.

(ii) Borrowings

The carrying amounts of bank overdrafts approximate fair values due to the relatively short term maturities of these financial liabilities.

The carrying amounts of floating rate term loans approximate their fair values.

The fair values of hire purchase payables and fixed rate term loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on
current lending rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities recognised in the balance sheets approximate their fair values except for the
following:-
