INFORMATION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps:

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

(b) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise in the ordinary course of business including their value as
shown in the accounting records of the Group and of the Company have been written down to an amount which they might
be expected so to realise.

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:

(a) which would render the amount written off as bad debts or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts in the financial
statements of the Group and of the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or

(b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
misleading; or

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

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, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may affect the ability of the Group and of the
Company to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

At the date of this report, there does not exist:

(a) any charge on the assets of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year which
secures the liability of any other person; or

(b) any contingent liability of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR


Significant events during the financial year are disclosed in Note 49 to the financial statements.

SIGNIICANT EVENT SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE SHEET DATE


Significant event subsequent to the balance sheet date is disclosed in Note 50 to the financial statements.

OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION


The Directors state that:

At the date of this report, they are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial
statements which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.

In their opinion:

(a) the results of the Group’s and of the Company’s operations during the financial year were not substantially affected by any
item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature except as disclosed in the Notes to the financial statements; and

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

We have audited the financial statements of Insas Berhad, which comprise the balance sheets of the Group and of the Company

Company for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as
set out on pages 24 to 80.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Financial Statements


The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia. This responsibility includes: designing,
implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and
making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditors’ Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the
Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the
Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as
of 30 June 2009 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the financial year then ended.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements


In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia, we also report the following:-
(a) 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 have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
(b) We have considered the financial statements and the auditors’ reports of all the subsidiary companies of which we have not
acted as auditors, as disclosed in Note 48 to the financial statements.
(c) We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiary companies that have been consolidated with the Company’s
financial statements are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the financial
statements of the Group and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required by us for those purposes.
(d) The auditors’ reports on the financial statements of the subsidiary companies did not contain any qualification or any
adverse comment made under Section 174 (3) of the Act.

Other Matters
This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 174 of the Companies Act
1965 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.

2009 INSAS Notes to the Financial Statements 30 JUNE 2009

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Statement of compliance


The financial statements of the Group and the Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the
Companies Act, 1965 and Financial Reporting Standards (“FRSs”) issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards
Board (“MASB”).

(b) Basis of measurement


The financial statements of the Group and the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention, unless
otherwise indicated in the summary of significant accounting policies.

(c) Functional and presentation currencies


The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial
information presented is in Ringgit Malaysia and are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise stated.

(d) The use of estimates and judgements


The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

(i) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and investment properties


Property, plant and equipment and investment properties are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful
lives. The Group estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and investment properties based on
the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of property, plant
and equipment and investment properties are reviewed on a periodical basis and are updated if expectations differ
from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other
limits on the use of the relevant assets. In addition, the estimation of the useful lives of property, plant and
equipment are based on the internal evaluation and experience with similar assets. A reduction in the estimated
useful lives of the property, plant and equipment would increase the recorded expenses and decrease the non-
current assets.

(ii) Classification between investment properties and property, plant and equipment
The Group has developed certain criteria based on FRS 140 in making judgment whether a property qualifies as
an investment property. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both.

Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that
is held for administration purposes. If the property is not to be sold separately, the property is an investment
property only if an insignificant portion is held for administrative purpose.

(iii) Property development revenue and costs


The Group recognises property development revenue and costs in the income statement using the stage of
completion method. The stage of completion is determined by the proportion that property development costs
incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total property development costs.

Significant judgment is required in determining the stage of completion, the extent of the property development
costs incurred, the estimated total property development revenue and costs, as well as the recoverability of the
project development costs. In making the judgment, the Group evaluates based on past experience and by relying
on the work of the related project architects and surveyors.

(iv) Impairment of assets


The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated to determine
the amount of the impairment loss.

For the purpose of impairment testing of assets, recoverable amount is determined on an individual asset basis
unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is
the case, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs to.

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT’D)

(d) The use of estimates and judgements (cont’d)

(v) Income taxes


Significant estimation is involved in determining the group-wide provision for income taxes. There are certain
transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of
business. The Group recognises liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes
will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially
recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such
determination is made.

(vi) Deferred tax assets


Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unutilised business losses and
unabsorbed capital allowances to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which
all the deductible temporary differences, unutilised business losses and unabsorbed capital allowances can be
utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can
be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning
strategies.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group’s activities expose it to various financial risks such as foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk, market
risk, credit risk and liquidity and cash flow risks. Financial risk management is carried out through risk reviews, internal
control systems and adherence to the Group financial risk management practices. The Board regularly reviews these risks
and approves the treasury policies covering the management of these risks.

The main areas of financial risks faced by the Group and the policy in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are set
out as follows:-

(a) Foreign currency exchange risk


The Group is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as a result of its investing and normal operating activities
where the currency denomination differs from the local currency. The Group maintains a natural hedge, whenever
possible, by borrowing in the currency of the country in which the property or investment is located or by matching
income and expenditure to minimise foreign exchange. The Group is also exposed to foreign currency risk as a result
of its trade purchases and utilises foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the risk exposure.

(b) Interest rate risk


The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in the interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s bank borrowings from
licensed banks and financial institutions. The Group’s policy is to manage its interest costs by obtaining the most
favorable interest rates on its borrowings. Surplus funds of the Group are invested with licensed banks and financial
institutions such as fixed deposits and repurchase agreements to generate interest income.

(c) Market risk


The Group faces exposure to the risk from changes in the debt and equity prices, in particular the Group’s exposure
from changes in market price on its quoted marketable securities and other long term quoted investments. The risk of
loss in value of the Group’s quoted securities and investments are minimized through thorough analysis before making
investments and continuous monitoring of the performance of the investments.

(d) Credit risk


The Group controls credit risk by application of credit evaluations and approvals, credit limits and monitoring
procedures. Trade and loan receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis via management reporting procedures and
where necessary, loan receivables are required to deposit sufficient assets as collateral and adhere to credit limits
within the fair values of assets placed as collateral. The Group does not have any significant exposure to any individual
customer nor does it have any major concentration of credit risk related to any financial instruments.

(e) Liquidity and cash flow risks


The Group actively manages its operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure that all financing
and funding needs are met. As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the Group maintains sufficient levels
of cash or cash convertible instruments to meet its working capital requirements. Certain subsidiary companies within
the Group maintain reasonable amount of committed credit and banking facilities to meet their operating needs.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of consolidation


The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary
companies as disclosed in Note 48 to the financial statements made up to the end of the financial year. The subsidiary
companies are consolidated using purchase method except for M & A Securities Sdn Bhd, which is consolidated using
the merger method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of Malaysian Accounting Standards No. 2.

Under the merger method of accounting, the results of the subsidiary companies are accounted on a full year basis
irrespective of the date of merger. The difference between the nominal value of shares issued as consideration for
merger and nominal value of share capital of the subsidiary companies is taken to merger reserve, which in turn is
transferred to the income statement.

Following the adoption of FRS No. 3, Business Combinations, the Group will comply with the required criteria for
merger accounting as stipulated in the said standard prospectively with effect from 1 January 2006 for future acquisition
of subsidiary companies.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the results of the subsidiary companies acquired or disposed off are
included from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the
subsidiary companies’ net assets are determined and reflected in the Group’s financial statements. The excess of the
purchase consideration paid for the shares in the subsidiary companies over the fair value of the underlying net assets
of the subsidiary companies acquired represents goodwill arising on consolidation.

All significant inter-company transactions, balances and the resulting unrealised gains are eliminated on consolidation
and the consolidated financial statements reflect external transactions only. Unrealised losses are eliminated on
consolidation unless cost cannot be recovered.

Any exchange differences arising on translation of inter-company indebtedness are taken to the shareholders’ interest
in the consolidated financial statements.

Uniform accounting policies are adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in
similar circumstances.

The total assets and liabilities of subsidiary companies are included in the consolidated balance sheet and the interest
of minority shareholders in the net assets is stated separately.

(b) Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement


Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The policy
for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 3(aa) to the financial
statements.

When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted
for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Restoration cost relating to an item of property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if such expenditure is
expected to increase the future benefits from the existing property, plant and equipment beyond its previously
assessed standard of performance.

Cost of properties under construction includes attributable borrowing cost incurred to finance these assets up to
the date when these properties are completed and ready for use.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected from its use. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any and the net carrying amount is
recognised in the income statement and the unutilised portion of the revaluation surplus on that item is taken
directly to retained earnings.

(b) Property, plant and equipment (cont’d)

(ii) Depreciation
Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Properties under construction are also
not depreciated until these assets are fully completed and brought into use.

Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight line basis to write off the cost of
each asset to its residual value over the estimated useful life, at the following annual rates:-

Freehold buildings 2 – 5%
Plant, machinery, motor vehicles and renovation 10 – 34%
Office furniture, fittings and equipment 10 – 34%
Long term leasehold building Over the unexpired period of the lease

The depreciable amount is determined after deducting the residual value. The residual value, depreciation method
and useful life are reviewed at each financial year end to ensure that the amount, method and period of
depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future
economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.

(iii) Changes in estimates


The revised FRS 116: Property, Plant and Equipment requires the review of the residual value and remaining
useful life of an item if property, plant and equipment at least at each financial year end.

During the financial year, a subsidiary company has reviewed the useful lives of the property, plant and equipment
and has revised the depreciation rates of the following items so as to reflect the future economic benefits to be
derived by the subsidiary company from their use:-

New rate Old rate

Plant, machinery and renovation 33% 10 – 20%


Office furniture, fittings and equipment 20 – 33% 10 – 20%

The revision was accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimates and as a result, the
depreciation charge for the Group increased by RM4.13 million for the current financial year.

(c) Prepaid land lease payments


Leasehold land that has an indefinite economic life with title that is not expected to pass to the Group by end of the
lease term is classified as operating lease. The up front payments for the right to use the leasehold land over a
predetermined period are accounted for as prepaid land lease payments. Prepaid land lease payments are stated at
cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The Group’s prepaid land lease payments are amortised
on a straight line basis over the remaining period of the lease of 45 years. The policy for the recognition and
measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 3(aa) to the financial statements.

(d) Investment properties


Investment properties are properties which are owned or held under a leasehold interest to earn rental income or for
capital appreciation or for both. These include land held for a currently undetermined future use.

(i) Measurement basis


Investment properties are stated at cost less depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of investment
properties includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 3(aa) to the
financial statements.

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed off or when the investment property
is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or
losses on retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in the income statement in the financial
year in which they arise.

(d) Investment properties (cont’d)

(ii) Depreciation
Freehold land is not depreciated.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the depreciable amount of other investment properties on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives. Depreciable amount is determined after deducting the residual value from
the cost of the investment property.

The principal annual depreciation rates used are as follows:

Freehold buildings 2%
Long term leasehold buildings Over the unexpired period of the lease

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at each
balance sheet date.

(e) Land held for development


Land held for development consists of cost of land on which no significant development activities have been carried
out or where development activities is not expected to be completed within the Group’s normal operating cycle.
Such land is classified within non-current assets and is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The
policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 3(aa) to the financial
statements.

Included in land held for development is cost associated with the acquisition of land and all related costs incurred
on activities necessary to put the land in a condition ready for development. Land held for development is
transferred to property development costs within current asset at the point when development activities commence
and where it can be demonstrated that the development activities can be completed with the Group’s normal
operating cycle.

(f) Investments

(i) Government guarantee bonds and unquoted corporate bonds


Government guarantee bonds and unquoted corporate bonds are stated at cost adjusted for amortisation of
premiums or accretion of discounts calculated on an effective yield basis from the date of purchase to their
maturity dates. The amortisation of premiums and accretion of discounts are charged or credited to income
statement.

On the maturity or disposal of investment in bonds, the difference between the redemption amount or net disposal
proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in the income statement.

Investments in bonds with maturity dates greater than 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified
as long term investments in the balance sheet. Allowance for diminution in value will be made if, in the
opinion of the Directors, such diminution is of a permanent nature. The diminution is charged to the income
statement.

(ii) Dual currency investments


Dual currency investments are yield enhancing investments that provide higher guaranteed return than regular
foreign currency deposits. In exchange for higher guaranteed returns, on maturity date, the financial institution has
the right to return the investment amount in the original currency or the alternate currency based on pre-agreed
foreign exchange rates which are determined on the investment start date.

Dual currency investments are classified as short term investments in the balance sheet and are stated at cost.

(iii) Other long term investments


Other investments which are held on long term basis are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and
allowance for diminution in value. Allowance for diminution in value of long-term investment will be made if, in the
opinion of the Directors, such diminution is of a permanent nature. The diminution is charged to the income
statement.

On the disposal of an investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is
recognised in the income statement.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

(g) Subsidiary companies


Subsidiary companies are those companies over which the Group has power to exercise control over the financial and
operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Investment in subsidiary companies, which are eliminated on consolidation, are stated at cost in the Company’s
financial statements less impairment losses. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the
investment is assessed and written down to its recoverable amount. The policy for the recognition and measurement
of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 3(aa) to the financial statement.

On the disposal of investment in subsidiary companies, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their
carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement.

(h) Associate companies


Associate companies are entities in which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an
interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions
of the investee but not in control or joint control over those policies.

Investments in associate companies are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity
method of accounting.

Under the equity method, the investment in associate company is carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost
adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate company. The Group’s share
of the net profit or loss of the associate company is recognised in the consolidated income statement. Where there has
been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate company, the Group recognises its share of such
changes in equity. In applying the equity method, unrealised gains and losses on transaction between the Group and
the associate company are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate company. After the
application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment
losses with respect to the Group’s net investment in the associate company. The associate company is equity
accounted for from the date the Group obtains significant influence until the date the Group ceases to have significant
influence over the associate company.

Goodwill relating to an associate company is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised, Any
excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the associate company’s identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of
the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination
of the Group’s share of the associate company‘s profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate company equals or exceeds its interest in the associate company,
the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the
associate companies.

The most recent available audited and/or management financial statements of the associated companies are used by
the Group in applying equity method of accounting.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in associate companies are stated at cost less
impairment losses. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note
3(aa) to the financial statement.

On the disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is
recognised in the income statement.

(i) Intangible asset


Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost on initial recognition. The cost of intangible assets acquired
in a business combination is their fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets
are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or infinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are
amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever
there is an indication the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and amortisation method for an
intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each balance sheet date.
Intangible assets with infinite useful lives are not amortised but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if the
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired either individually or at the cash-
generating unit level. The useful life of an intangible asset with an infinite life is also reviewed annually to determine
whether the useful life assessment continues to be supportable.

(i) Intangible asset (cont’d)

(i) Intangible asset – Stock broking dealer’s license


The stock broking dealer’s license was acquired by M & A Securities Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Group to operate a branch office in Kuala Lumpur and is recognised as an intangible asset in the balance sheet.

The intangible asset is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The intangible asset
is amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 20 years, being the estimated life of the asset. The carrying
value is reviewed annually by the Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable value. The recoverable
amount is assessed on the basis of the expected cash flows which will be received from the employment of the
intangible asset. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note
3(aa) to the financial statements.

(ii) Intangible asset - Development expenditure


Intangible asset arising from development or from the development phase of an internal project is recognised if
all of the following have been demonstrated:

- the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

- the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

- the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

- how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

- the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use
or sell the intangible asset; and

- the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for expenditure incurred on development activities is the sum of the expenditure
incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Expenditure
incurred on development activities that do not meet these criteria are expensed to the income statement when
incurred.

The expenditure on development activities are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment
losses. This expenditure is to be amortised on a straight line basis over its expected useful lives.

The policy for measurement and recognition of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 3(aa).

(iii) Intangible asset - Trademark


The initial cost incurred on the search and application for registration of the trademark is capitalised, and is stated
at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The trademark is assessed to have a finite useful
life and is amortised on a straight-line basis over 10 years, being the validity period the certificate of registration
of the trademark is to be granted.

The policy for measurement and recognition of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 3(aa).

(j) Goodwill
Goodwill on consolidation represents the excess of the purchase consideration paid for the shares in the subsidiary
companies over the fair value of the underlying net assets of the subsidiary companies acquired. Goodwill on
consolidation is stated at cost less impairment losses.

Negative goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the underlying net assets of the subsidiary companies
acquired over the purchase consideration paid for the shares in the subsidiary companies. With the adoption of FRS
3 beginning 1 January 2006, negative goodwill is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
goodwill may be impaired. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses of goodwill is in
accordance with Note 3(aa) to the financial statements.

(k) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations


A component of the Group is classified as discontinued operation when the criteria to be classified as held for sale have
been met or it has been disposed off and such a component represents a separate major line of business or
geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated major line of business or geographical area of
operations or is a subsidiary company acquired exclusively with a view for resale.

Disposal groups or non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered
principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when
the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms
that are usual or customary.

Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the non-current assets is brought up-to-date in
accordance with applicable FRSs. Then, on initial classification as held for sale, non-current assets are measured in
accordance with FRS 5 that is at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any differences are
recognised in the income statement.

(l) Property development cost


Property development costs comprise cost of land and all related costs that are directly attributable to development
activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities.

When the financial outcome of a development activity can be reliably estimated, property development revenue and
expenditure are recognised in the income statement by using the stage of completion method. The stage of completion
is determined by the proportion that property development costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the
estimated total property development costs. In applying this method, only those costs that reflect actual development
work performed are included as property development costs incurred.

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

Any expected loss on a development project, including costs to be incurred over the defect liability period is recognised
as an expense immediately.

The excess of revenue recognised in the income statement over billings to purchasers is classified as accrued billings
and the excess of billings to purchasers over revenue recognised in the income statement is classified as progress
billings within the consolidated balance sheet.

(m) Inventories
Inventories comprising raw material, work-in-progress, finished goods, goods purchased for resale and properties held
for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost is determined using the first in first out method, the weighted average cost method or by specific identification.
The cost of raw materials comprises costs of purchase. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress comprise cost
of raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and appropriate proportions of production overheads based on normal
operating capacity. The cost of unsold properties held under inventories comprises cost associated with the acquisition
of land and buildings, direct costs and appropriate proportion of common costs.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

(n) Receivables
Trade and other receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. Bad debts are written off when they are
identified. Specific allowance is made for debts that are considered doubtful of collection based on a review of all
outstanding amounts as at the balance sheet date.

(o) Marketable securities


Marketable securities are stated at the lower of cost and market value on an aggregate portfolio basis. Cost is
determined on the weighted average basis while market value is determined based on reference to quoted selling
prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. Increases or decreases in the carrying value are credited
or charged to the income statement.

On the disposal of marketable securities, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is
recognised in the income statement.

(p) Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash in hand, bank balances and deposits at call that are free from
encumbrances and short term highly liquid investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in value.

The Group has excluded remisiers’ deposits and clients’ monies held in trust by the stock broking subsidiary companies
and cash and fixed deposits pledge to licensed banks and financial institutions from its cash and cash equivalents.

(q) Share capital


Ordinary shares are classified as equity which are recorded at the nominal value and proceeds in excess of the nominal
value of shares issued, if any, are accounted for as share premium. Both ordinary shares and share premium are
classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared.

The transaction cost of an equity transaction which comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable
to the equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from share premium, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(r) Minority interests


Minority interests in the consolidated balance sheet consist of the minorities’ share of the fair values of identifiable
assets and liabilities of the acquiree and advances received from the minority shareholders.

Minority interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of changes in equity within equity,
separately from equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. Minority interests in the results of the
Group is presented on the face of the consolidated income statements as an allocation of the total profit or loss for the
period between the minority interests and the equity shareholders of the Company.

Where losses applicable to the minority interests exceed the minority’s interest in the equity of a subsidiary company,
the excess and any further losses applicable to the minority are charged against the Group’s interest except to the
extent that the minority has a binding obligation to, and is able to, make additional investment to cover the losses. If
the subsidiary company subsequently reports profits, the Group’s interest is allocated all such profits until the minority’s
share of losses previously absorbed by the Group has been recovered.

(s) Hire purchase payables


The cost of property, plant and equipment acquired under hire purchase arrangements are capitalised. The
depreciation policy on these property, plant and equipment is similar to that of the Group’s property, plant and
equipment depreciation policy. Outstanding obligation due under the hire purchase arrangements after deducting
finance expenses are included as liabilities in the financial statements. Finance charges on hire purchase agreements
are allocated to income statement over the period of the respective agreements.

(t) Payables
Trade and other payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods
and services rendered. Payables are recognised when there is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another
financial asset to other entity.

(u) Provision for liabilities


Provision for liabilities are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a
past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligations and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date
and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount
of provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation.

(v) Contingent liabilities


Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably,
the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future
events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

Where the Company enters into financial guarantee contracts to guarantee the indebtedness of other companies within
the Group, the Company treats the guarantee as a contingent liability until such time as it becomes probable that the
Company will be required to make a payment under the guarantee.

(w) Interest-bearing borrowings


Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of repayments.

(x) Financial instruments


Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheets when the Group has become a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument.

Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual
arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as liability are reported
as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to
equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Group 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.

(y) Income tax


Income tax on the profit or loss for the financial year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected
amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the financial year and is measured using the tax
rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. In principle, deferred tax
liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible
temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that the taxable profit
will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be
utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary differences arise 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 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, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised
directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged or credited directly in equity, or when it arises from a
business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or
negative goodwill.

(z) Revenue recognition

(i) Sale of development properties


Revenue from sale of development properties represents the proportionate sales value of development properties
sold attributable to the percentage of development work performed during the financial year.

(ii) Sale of goods and trading activities


Revenue from sale of goods and trading activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable
and is recognised upon delivery of product and customer acceptance if any, net of discount and sales returns.
Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the
consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods.

(iii) Sale of marketable securities


Revenue from sale of marketable securities are recognised based on the contracted value net of brokerages
expenses and stamp duties.

(iv) Revenue from broking activities


Revenue from broking activities are recognised upon execution of contracts. Brokerage income is accounted for
net of remisiers’ commission and dealers’ incentives.

(v) Rental income


Rental income from investment property is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the
specific tenure of the respective leases. The aggregate cost of incentives provided to lessees is recognised as a
reduction of rental income over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

(vi) Dividend income


Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment has been established and no significant
uncertainty existed with regard to its receipt.

(vii) Interest income


Interest income is recognised on accruals basis unless recoverability is in doubt, in which case the recognition of
interest is suspended. Subsequent to suspension, interest is recognised on receipt basis.

(vii) Interest income (cont’d)


Interest income from investments in bonds, loan stocks and dual currency investments are recognised on a time
proportion basis that takes into account the effective yield of the assets.

(viii) Revenue from services and fee income


Revenue from services are recognised when services are rendered and invoice issued. Revenue is recognised
net of sales and service tax, where applicable.

Revenue on fee income from sale of customised goods and services and contract maintenance are recognised
on completion of each stage of assignments.

(aa) Impairment of assets

(i) Impairment of goodwill


Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the goodwill may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s
cash generating units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the business combination.

An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement when the carrying amount of the cash generating unit
including goodwill exceeds the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit. Recoverable amount of the cash
generating unit is the higher of the cash generating unit’s fair value less cost to sell and its value in use. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

The total impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the cash
generating unit and then to the other assets of the cash generating unit proportionately on the basis of the carrying
amount of each asset in the cash generating unit.

Impairment loss recognised on goodwill is not reversed in the event of an increase in recoverable amount in
subsequent periods.

(ii) Impairment of non financial assets


At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is
any indication of impairment.

If such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the recoverable amount is
estimated and an impairment loss is recognised whenever the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its
carrying amount. Recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement immediately, unless the asset is carried
at a revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent
of any unutilised previously recognised revaluation surplus for the same asset.

An assessment is made at each balance sheet date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognised impairment losses for an asset may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists,
the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been
a change in the estimates used to determine the asset recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss be
recognised for the asset in prior financial years.

All reversals of impairment losses are recognised as income immediately in the income statement unless the asset
is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal in excess of impairment loss previously recognised
through the income statement is treated as revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is
adjusted in future periods to allocate the revised carrying amount of the asset, less any residual value, on a
systematic basis over its remaining useful lives.

(bb) Foreign currencies

(i) Functional and presentation currency


The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial
statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is also the Company’s functional currency.

(ii) Foreign currency transaction and balances


In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s
functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currencies using the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair
value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair
value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates at the date of transaction.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on the translation of monetary items are
included in the income statement for the period. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary
items carried at fair value are included in the income statement for the period except for the differences arising on
the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity.
Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in equity.

(iii) Foreign operations


For the purposes of consolidation, net assets of the foreign subsidiary companies are translated into Ringgit
Malaysia at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from these
translations are transferred directly to exchange translation reserve.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities
of the foreign entity on or after 1 January 2006 and are recorded in the functional currency of the foreign
operations and translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date. Goodwill and fair value adjustments that
arose in the acquisition of foreign subsidiary companies before 1 January 2006 are deemed to be assets and
liabilities of the parent company and are recorded in RM at the rates prevailing at the date of acquisition.

The principal exchange rates used for each respective unit of foreign currency ruling at balance sheet date are as
follows :-

2009 2008

RM RM
1 Australian Dollar 2.86 3.14
1 US Dollar 3.53 3.26
1 Sterling Pound 5.86 6.51

1 Singapore Dollar 2.43 2.40
1 Euro 4.98 5.15
1 Taiwanese Dollar 0.11 0.11
1 Japanese Yen 0.04 0.03
1 Mongolia Tugrik 0.002466 0.002814
1 Swiss Franc 3.27 3.20

(cc) Operating leases


Leases of assets where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets remain with the lessor are
accounted for 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.

When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the
lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the income statement immediately.

(dd) Borrowing costs


All borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement using the effective interest method, in the period in which
they are incurred except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be prepared for its
intended use.

(dd) Borrowing costs (cont’d)


The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the
asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for
its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially
all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or completed.

(ee) Employee benefits

(i) Short term benefits


Wages, salaries, allowances, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the
financial year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. 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.

(ii) Defined contribution plan


Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into
separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further if any of the funds do not
hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee services in the current and preceding
financial years. Such contribution is recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. As required
by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the Employees Provident Fund. Some of the Group’s foreign
subsidiaries make contributions to their respective countries statutory pension schemes.

(ff) Segmental reporting


The Group adopts business segment analysis as its primary reporting format and geographical segment analysis as
its secondary reporting format.

Segment reporting is presented for enhanced assessment of the Group’s risk and returns. Business segments provide
products or services that are subject to risk and returns that are different from those of other business segment.
Geographical segments provide products or services within a particular economic environment that is subject to risks
and returns that are different from those components operating in other economic environment. Segment revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities are those amounts resulting from the operating activities of a segment that are directly
attributable to the segment and the relevant portion that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to the segment.

Impairment testing of stock broking dealer’s license


The stock broking dealer’s license had been allocated to the Kuala Lumpur branch of the stock broking subsidiary cash
generating unit (“CGU”), a reportable segment for impairment testing. The recoverable amount of the Kuala Lumpur branch
CGU has been determined based on value in use calculation using cash flow projections approved by the management of
the stock broking subsidiary. The discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is 9%. The recoverable amount of the
Kuala Lumpur branch CGU is compared to the total carrying value of the dealers’ license.

Key assumptions used in value in use calculation of Kuala Lumpur Branch CGU
The key assumptions on which the management of the stock broking subsidiary has based its cash flow projections to
undertake impairment testing of the stock broking dealer’s license are:

(i) Budgeted gross brokerage rate and gross margin rate


This is determined based on the CGU’s past performance and the management’s expectation for the market development.

Impairment loss during the financial year (1,449) -

At end of financial year 184 1,633

The goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration paid for the shares in the subsidiary companies over the
Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary companies acquired. For purposes of
impairment testing, the carrying amount of goodwill is allocated to the Group’s respective cash generating units which
represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

The recoverable amount of the goodwill is based on value-in-use calculations, using pre-tax cash flow projections based on
financial budgets covering a period of 5 years.

The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations are :

Revenue annual growth rate 10% to 20%


Expenses annual increment rate 5% to 10%
Pre-tax discount rate 9%

The above key assumptions were based on past performance and its expectations of future trends in the industry and
expected market developments. The discount rate used is pre-tax and reflect the risks relating to the cash generating units
and is estimated based on the current market assessment of time-value of money. The key assumptions are sensitive to
the changes in percentage point in the discount rate used and future planned revenue not materialising.

The Directors do not expect any reasonable possible changes in key assumptions to have a significant impact on the
carrying value of goodwill to exceed its recoverable amount.

(a) Basic earnings per share

Earnings per share for the financial year has been calculated based on the Group’s profit for the financial year
attributable to the equity holders of the Company of RM51,905,000 (2008 : RM16,566,000) divided by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial year of 612,897,000 shares (2008 : 597,618,000
shares), after taking into consideration the movement of shares bought back by the Company.

(b) Diluted earnings per share

Statement in Relation to the Proposed Renewal of Authority to
Purchase its Own Shares by the Company

The Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) takes no responsibility for the contents of this Statement, makes no
representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever
arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this Statement.

1. INTRODUCTION

On 27 October 2009, the Company announced its intention to seek the approval from the shareholders for renewal of authority
for the Company to purchase and/or hold its own ordinary shares of RM1.00 each (“Shares”) up to a maximum of 69,333,363
Shares representing approximately ten percent (10%) of the issued and fully paid-up share capital of the Company for the time
being, inclusive of the 26,263,900 Shares already purchased and retained as Treasury Shares (“Proposed Share Buy-Back”).
Accordingly, the number of Shares which are available for further buy back by the Company is up to a maximum of 43,069,463
Shares after deducting 26,263,900 Shares already purchased and retained as Treasury Shares.

2. THE PROPOSED SHARE BUY-BACK

The Proposed Share Buy-Back is subject to compliance with Section 67A of the Companies Act, 1965 (“Act”), Listing
Requirements of the Bursa Securities (“Listing Requirements”) and any prevailing laws, rules, regulations, orders,
guidelines and requirements issued by the relevant authorities at the time of purchase.

Pursuant to Chapter 12 of the Listing Requirements, the Proposed Share Buy-Back must be made wholly out of retained
profits and/or the share premium account of the listed company. Based on the latest annual audited accounts as at 30 June
2009, the share premium account and the retained profit of the Company were RM66.3 million and RM702,000 respectively.
The Board therefore proposes to allocate up to RM66.3 million of the share premium account for the Proposed Share Buy-
Back, which shall be funded by internal generated funds of the Group and/or external borrowings. In the event that the
Company intends to fund the Proposed Share Buy-Back via external borrowings, the Company would ensure there is
sufficient funds to repay the external borrowings and that the repayment would have no material impact on the cash flow of
the Group.

3. RATIONALE FOR, POTENTIAL ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE PROPOSED SHARE BUY-BACK

The Proposed Share Buy-Back will enable the Company to utilise its financial resources to purchase its own Shares from
the market. The Company may, through this scheme, be able to reduce the liquidity of Shares in the market which generally
will have a positive impact on the market price of Shares.

The Directors may at its discretion retain the purchased Shares as Treasury Shares, or for resale on the Bursa Securities
with the intention of realizing a potential gain, or to distribute the Treasury Shares to the shareholders as dividends to serve
as a reward to the shareholders. The Directors could also opt for the purchased Shares to be cancelled, or retain part
thereof as Treasury Shares and cancelling the balance, and to treat the Shares in any manner as prescribed by the Act,
rules, regulations and orders made pursuant to the Act, the requirements of Bursa Securities and any other relevant
authorities.

The Proposed Share Buy-Back will nevertheless reduce the financial resources of the Group and may result in the Group
foregoing other investment opportunities that may emerge in the future.

The Board will be mindful of the interest of the Company and its shareholders in implementing the Proposed Share Buy-Back.

4. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED SHARE BUY-BACK

4.1 On Share Capital

There will be no effect on the issued and fully paid-up share capital of the Company if the purchased Shares are
retained as Treasury Shares.

In the event that the 69,333,363 Shares representing approximately 10% of the issued and fully paid-up share capital
of the Company are purchased and cancelled, the effect on the share capital of the Company are illustrated as follows:-

No. of Shares
Issued and fully paid-up share capital as at 22 October 2009 693,333,633
Assumed the Shares purchased and cancelled (69,333,363)*

Resultant issued and fully paid-up share capital 624,000,270

* Inclusive of the 26,263,900 Shares already purchased and retained as Treasury Shares as at 22 October 2009.

4. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED SHARE BUY-BACK (CON’T)

4.2 On Earnings
The effect of the Proposed Share Buy-Back on earnings and earnings per share of the Group will depend on the
quantum of Shares purchased, the purchase price and the effective funding cost thereon.

4.3 On Net Assets (“NA”)


The effect of the Proposed Share Buy-Back on the NA per share of the Group will depend on the quantum of Shares
purchased and the purchase price of the Shares at the time of buy back.

amongst others, the quantum of Shares purchased and the purchase price of the Shares.

Proposed Share Buy-Back is carried out in full and there is no change in shares held by Substantial Shareholders,

5. IMPLICATION RELATING TO THE MALAYSIAN CODE ON TAKE-OVERS AND MERGERS 1998 (“CODE”)

The direct and indirect shareholdings of Substantial Shareholders, namely Dato’ Thong Kok Khee and Dato’ Thong Kok
Yoon and persons connected to them namely Datin Yeoh Kwee See and Datin Tan Few Teng, being their respective
spouses and M&A Investments International Limited, Accroway Sdn Bhd, Immobillaire Holdings Sdn Bhd, Baktihan Sdn
Bhd, Titan Express Sdn Bhd and Perak Traders Holdings Sdn Bhd (collectively “Major Shareholders”) as at 22 October 2009
are approximately 32.57% of the issued and fully paid-up share capital of the Company after adjusting for 26,263,900
Shares already purchased and retained as Treasury Shares. In the event that the Proposed Share Buy-Back of up to
approximately ten percent (10%) is carried out in full, their collective shareholdings in the Company will be increased to
approximately 34.81% of the issued and fully paid-up share capital of the Company if the number of ordinary shares held
by them remain unchanged.

Pursuant to the Code, a person who holds more than thirty three percent (33%) of the voting shares of the Company shall
undertake a mandatory general offer for the remaining ordinary shares of the Company not already owned by the said
person. Accordingly, if the Proposed Share Buy-Back is implemented in full, the Major Shareholders would therefore trigger
a mandatory general offer pursuant to the Code.

As at the date hereof, the Company has yet to decide on the percentage of its own Shares to be purchased under the
Proposed Share Buy-Back. However, the Company will ensure the number of Shares to be purchased under the Proposed
Share Buy-Back will not result in the Major Shareholders holding collectively more than 33% of the voting shares in the
Company thereby triggering a mandatory general offer.

6. DIRECTORS’ AND SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDERS’ INTEREST

Save for the proportionate increase in the percentage shareholdings and/or voting rights of all the shareholders in the
Company as a consequence of the Proposed Share Buy-Back, none of the Directors and Substantial Shareholders and
persons connected to them have any interest, directly or indirectly, in the Proposed Share Buy-Back and, if any, the resale
of the Treasury Shares.

7. DIRECTORS’ RECOMMENDATION

Your Directors are of the opinion that the Proposed Share Buy-Back is in the best interest of the Company and accordingly
recommend that you vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be tabled at the forthcoming Forty-Seventh Annual General
Meeting.

8. FURTHER INFORMATION

Shareholders are requested to refer to the Company’s Statements of Changes in Equity for the financial year ended 30 June
2009 and the Note 27 to the financial statements for further information on the purchases made by the Company of its own
Shares during the aforesaid financial year.
