CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Fountain View Development Berhad, I am pleased to present the Annual Report
and Audited Financial Statements of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2006.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
For the financial year under review the Group recorded a turnover of RM58.1million and loss before tax of RM24.9
million as compared to the previous year of a turnover of RM68.9 million and loss before taxation of RM66.5 million. The
decline in performance was mainly due to slow down in progress works, delay in launching of new development,
recognition of deferred financial charges and allowance made for doubtful debts.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Property Development
The year under review was another very challenging year for companies in the property development sector. The increase
in raw material prices and the tight liquidity environment has result in low demand for our property project in Alam
Mutiara, Ijok, Kuala Selangor. Despite the project being strategically located near the Shah Alam – Batu Arang Highway
and Guthrie Corridor Expressway, the Company faced difficulties in selling its properties. Under such difficult
environment, the Company has decided to defer plan for new launches and to focus on completing the existing
development.
Plantation
The Group plantation division through its wholly owned subsidiary, Fountain View Land Sdn. Bhd, has on 17 October
2006 entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement to dispose off four pieces of freehold plantation land measuring
approximately 3,089 acres known as the “Sabai Land” situated at Mukim of Sabai, Daerah Bentong, Pahang for a total
cash consideration of RM56,850,000 to Jeng Huat (Bahau) Realty Sdn. Bhd.
Fountain View Land Sdn Bhd has on 7 December 2006 disposed thirteen pieces of leasehold plantation land measuring
approximately 2,081 acres located in Ulu Tingkayu, District of Kunak and Lahad Datu, Sabah for a total cash
consideration of RM17,000,000 to Bintang Basa Sdn Bhd.
The proceeds will be utilised to redeem the 3.5% Redeemable Convertible Secured Loan Stocks 2003/2006 (“RCSLS”) and
for working capital purpose.
Dividend
The Board is not recommending any dividend payment for the financial year ended 31 December 2006 to ensure that
adequate reserves remains to meet financial obligations and fund current and future growth of the Group.
Corporate Development
During the financial year under review, the company’s entire 36,718,613, 3.5% Irredeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan
Stocks 2003/2006 (“ICULS”) maturing in November 2006 has been converted to 36,718,613 new ordinary shares of
RM1.00 each resulting in an increased of share capital. The RCSLS also matured in November 2006 was not redeemed
during the year. However the Company has been granted a standstill and time indulgence until September 2007. As
mentioned earlier, the group has disposed its oil palm plantations to raise fund for settlement of the RCSLS and
expected to complete the redemption exercise by financial year 2007.

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
(Cont’d)
Prospects
Due to the slower than expected sales of the Group’s properties coupled with the competitive property market and
business environment, the Board is of the opinion that the Group will continue to experience challenging period ahead.
The Government announcement of a growth-oriented Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) together with an expansionary Budget
hopefully will hold much prospects and opportunities to the group given that these initiatives focus on enhancing the
nation’s infrastructure which will directly give impact to the property development sector in the country. With the
abolishment of Real Property Gains Tax by the government and with two Highways in place the prospect of demand for
new houses is expected to improve.
Appreciation
On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend our appreciation to all the shareholders, customers, business associates,
bankers and various government authorities for their assistance, continuous support and confidence in the Group. My
appreciation also goes to the management and staff of the Group for their support, dedication and commitment
throughout the year.
The Board also wishes to express their condolence to the family of the late En. Taufek Bin Yahya on his sudden demised
on 28 February 2007 and our appreciation for his invaluable contribution during his tenure as the Executive Director of
the group.
We would also like to express our thanks to Dato’ Dr. Ir. Hj. Abdul Rashid and Mr. Kington Tong Kum Loong who have
resigned from the Board for their invaluable contribution during their tenure as Chairman and Independent Director of
the group respectively.

STATEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROLS
1.
Introduction
The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance stipulates that the Board of Directors of listed companies should
maintain a sound system of internal control to safeguard the Group’s assets. The Board of Directors is taking
appropriate initiatives to further strengthen the transparency, accountability and efficiency of the Group’s
operations. In pursuant thereof, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Fountain View Development Berhad (“Group”)
is pleased to set out below its Statement of Internal Control for the year ended 31 December 2006 that was prepared
in accordance with Bursa Malaysia’s Statement of Internal Control – Guidance for Directors of Public Listed
Companies. The Board believes the practice of good corporate governance is an important continuous process and
not just a matter to be covered as compliance in its annual report.
2.
Responsibility for risk and internal controls
The Board affirms its responsibility to maintain an adequate system of internal control that covers financial,
operational, compliance and risk management practices in the organisation. The Board endeavors to maintain an
adequate system of internal control organisation-wide with consistent integrity designed to manage rather than
eliminate risk on failure to improve the internal controls of the organisation. However, it is recognised that
evaluation and implementation of the internal control system can only provide reasonable assurance and not
absolute assurance against any material misstatement or loss. The Group continues to identify, evaluate and
manage significant risks that may affect the achievement of its business objectives. The system on internal control
was in place during the financial year and the system is subject to regular reviews by the Board.
3.
Risk Management Framework
A formal risk management framework has been established to ensure structured and consistent approach and
methods are practised in the on-going process of identifying, assessing, managing and monitoring the principal
risks. The risk management process includes identifying principal business risks in critical areas, assessing the
likelihood and impact of material exposures and determining its corresponding risk mitigation and treatment
measures. Meetings were held to review on the risk management framework.
In line with the risk areas identified in the company-wide audit risk assessment exercise, BDO Governance Advisory
Sdn. Bhd (“BDO GA”) has completed one internal control review on the Human Resources and Administration
Department. Weaknesses have been identified and management is taking the appropriate steps to rectify the
weaknesses.
4.
Internal audit function
BDO GA has provides the Board with reasonable assurance it requires regarding the adequacy and integrity of the
system on internal control. BDO GA independently reviews the Group’s internal control system and report to the
Audit Committee. Reviews are carried out on the business processes to monitor compliance with the Group’s
procedures, assess the effectiveness of internal controls and highlight significant risk impacting the
Group. The Audit Committee holds quarterly meetings to review internal audit reports, management actions and
monitor the implementation of preventive and corrective actions for areas with significant and high risks.
Annual Internal Audit Plan is established based on a risk-based internal audit approach and it is presented to the
Audit Committee for their review and approval. The review is to ensure adequacy of resources and sufficient
coverage on significant and high-risk areas.

values 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.

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

than as disclosed in Note 28 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

3.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The Group’s financial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the
development of the Group’s businesses whilst managing its risks. The Group operates within policies that are
approved by the Board and the Group’s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions.
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)
Interest rate risk
The Group’s policy is to borrow principally on the fixed and floating rate basis but to retain a proportion of
floating rate debt. The objective for the mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings is set to reduce the
impact of an upward change in interest rates while enabling benefits to be enjoyed if interest rates fall.
(b)
Credit risk
The credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. An
internal credit review is conducted if the credit risk is material.
(c)
Market risk
For key product purchases, the Group establishes negotiated price levels that the Group considers acceptable
and enters into physical supply agreements, if necessary, to achieve these levels and secure contracts with
suppliers for a fixed period of time. The Group does not face significant exposure from the risk of changes in
price levels.
(d)
Liquidity and cash flow risks
The Group seeks to achieve a balance between certainty of funding even in difficult times of the market or the
Group and a flexible, cost-effective borrowing structure. This is to ensure that at the minimum, all projected
net borrowing needs are covered by committed facilities. It is also, the objective of the Group to ensure that the
amount of debt maturing in any one year is not beyond the Group’s means to repay and refinance.
4.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Accounting convention
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention,

The adoption of FRS 102, 107 2004, 108, 110, 112 2004, 114 2004, 116, 118 2004, 119 2004, 123 2004, 124, 127, 131, 132,
133, 134 2004, 136, 137 2004, 138, 139 and 201 2004 do not have significant financial impact on the Group and the
Company. The principal effects of the changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of the other
FRSs are as follows:FRS 3: Business Combinations, FRS 136: Impairment of Assets and FRS 138: Intangible Assets
Under FRS 3, any excess of the Group's interest in the net fair value of acquirees' identifiable assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities over cost of acquisitions (previously referred to as "negative goodwill"), after
reassessment, is now recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement. In accordance with
transitional provisions of FRS 3, any balance of unamortised negative goodwill as at 1 January 2006 has to be
derecognised with a corresponding increase in retained earnings for that period. As the revised accounting
policy has been applied prospectively, the change has had no impact on amounts reported for financial year
2005 or prior periods.
FRS 5: Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
An item is classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale
transaction rather than through continuing use. The assets that are classified as held for sale are measured in
accordance with FRS 5. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the carrying amounts of all the assets
are measured in accordance with applicable FRSs. Then, on initial classification as held for sale, the disposal
group is recognised at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
FRS 101: Presentation of Financial Statements
The adoption of the revised FRS 101 has affected the presentation of minority interest, share of net after-tax
results of associates and other disclosures. In the consolidated balance sheet, minority interests are now
presented within total equity. In the consolidated income statement, minority interests are presented as an
allocation of the total profit or loss for the period. A similar requirement is also applicable to the statement of
changes in equity. FRS 101 also requires disclosure, on the face of the statement of changes in equity, total
recognised income and expenses for the period, showing separately the amounts attributable to equity
holders of the parent and to minority interest.

Deferred FRS 139 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
The Malaysian Accounting Standards Board has yet to announce the effective date of this standard.
Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the
financial statements. They affect the application of the Group's accounting policies and reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an
on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
(i)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
balance sheet date, that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:Income taxes
The Group exposure to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement 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 recognised tax liabilities 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 difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such
determination is made.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful life.
Management estimated the useful life of these assets to be within 5 to 99 years. Changes in the
expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful life and
the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.
Replanting expenditure
The Group carried out impairment test based on a variety estimation including the value-in-use of Cash
Generating Unit (“CGU”) to which the replanting expenditure are allocated.

(c)
Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Cont’d)
(i)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Cont’d)
Replanting expenditure (Cont’d)
Estimating the value-in-use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows
from the CGU and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those
cash flows. The carrying amount of the replanting expenditure of the Group as at 31 December 2006 is
RM7,099,645 (2005 : RM6,140,659).
Property development
The Group recognises property development revenue and expenses 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.
Significant judgement 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 development projects. In making the judgement, the Group evaluates based on past
experience and by relying on the work of specialists.
The Group carried out impairment review on development project in Alam Mutiara, Mukim Ijok, Kuala
Selangor and Taman Industri Sri Sulong, Batu Pahat based on valuation done by Firdaus & Associates, a
firm of professional valuers, who have adopted the Comparison Method of valuation on 5 June 2006 and
28 June 2006 respectively.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses and capital
allowances can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine by 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.
(d)
Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate the audited financial statements of the Company and all of its
subsidiary companies, which have been prepared in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies.
All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are
eliminated; unrealised losses are also eliminated on consolidation unless cost cannot be recovered.
The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies are all drawn up to the same reporting
date. Acquisition of subsidiary companies is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of an
acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred
or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at
their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest.
Any excess of the group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities over the cost of business combination is recognised as income on the date of acquisition.
Minority interest is measured at the minorities’ share of the post-acquisition fair values of the identifiable
assets and liabilities of the subsidiary companies.
Subsidiary companies are consolidated using the purchase method of accounting from the date on which
control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases.
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 or unimpaired balance of goodwill on
acquisition and exchange differences.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
(e)
Subsidiary company
A subsidiary company is a company in which the Group or the Company has the power to exercise control
over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits therefrom.
Investment in subsidiary companies is stated at cost. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying
amount of the subsidiary companies is assessed and written down immediately to their recoverable amount.
(f)
Joint venture
A jointly control operation is an operation in which the Group has joint control over its economic activity
established under a contractual arrangement whereby each venturer uses its own assets and other resources.
Each venturer bears its own costs and takes a share of the revenue from the sale, such share being determined
in accordance with the contractual arrangement.
(g)
Investment
Non-current unquoted investment other than investment in subsidiary companies, associate companies and
jointly controlled entities are shown at cost and allowance is made only where, in the opinion of the Directors,
there is a diminution in value. Diminution in the value of an investment is recognised as an expense in the
period in which the diminution is identified.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is charged
or credited to the income statement.
(h)
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Freehold land is not
depreciated. The depreciation on property, plant and equipment is computed on the straight line method so
as to write off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life.
The long term leasehold estates are amortised over the period of the respective leases.
The principal annual depreciation rates used are as follows:Long term leasehold estates
Buildings
Plant and machinery
Motor vehicles
Furniture, equipment and fittings
Renovations and site office buildings
Computer equipments
Over the lease period of 83 to 99 years
10%-20%
10%-25%
20%
5%-20%
10%-50%
20%-25%
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.
Property, plant and equipment are written down to its recoverable amount if, in the opinion of the Directors,
the amount is less than the carrying value. Recoverable amount is the net selling price of the property, plant
and equipment i.e. the amount receivable from the sale of an asset on an arm’s length transaction basis between
knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.
The residual values, useful life and depreciation method 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.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is
included in the income statement in the financial year the asset is derecognised.

(i)
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value after adequate allowance has been made by
Directors for deteriorated, obsolete and slow-moving inventories.
Cost of crude palm oil and palm kernel is determined using weighted average method which approximates
the actual cost. Cost represents direct materials, direct labour and appropriate production overheads.
Properties held for resale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the
specific identification basis and includes cost of land, construction and appropriate development overheads.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(j)
Property development costs
Property development costs comprise costs associated with the acquisition of land or such portion thereof and
all costs that are directly attributable to development activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to
such activities.
When the outcome of a development activity can be estimated reliably, property development revenue and
expenses 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.
When the outcome of a development activity cannot be estimated reliably, property development revenue is
recognised only to the extent of property development costs incurred that is probable will be recoverable, and
property development costs on development units sold are recognised as an expense in the period in which
they are incurred.
Any expected loss on a development project, including costs to be incurred over the defects liability period, is
recognised as an expense immediately.
Property development costs not recognised as an expense are recognised as an asset and is stated at the lower
of cost and net realisable value.
Property development costs are included under non-current asset where no development activities have been
carried out or where development activities are not expected to be completed within the normal operating
cycle. It is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
(k)
New planting and replanting expenditure
The expenditure on new planting and replanting of a different produce crop incurred up to the time of
maturity is capitalised as plantation development expenditure until the trees attain maturity. Amortisation of
plantation development expenditure commences when the trees attain maturity.
Any other costs related to the development of new plantations are included as part of the capitalisation of
immature planting costs.
Replanting expenditure incurred in respect of the same crop is charged to the income statement in the year in
which it is incurred.
(l)
Assets acquired under hire-purchase and lease agreements
The cost of property, plant and equipment acquired under hire purchase arrangements which transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Group are capitalised. The depreciation policy on
these assets is similar to that of the Group’s property, plant and equipment depreciation policy. Outstanding
obligation due under hire purchase arrangements after deducting finance expenses are included as liabilities
in the financial statements. Finance charges on hire purchase arrangements are allocated to income statement
over the period of the respective agreements.

(m) Receivables
Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. Bad debts are written off in the period in which they are
identified. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the
financial year end.
(n)
Payables
Payables are stated at cost which is fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and
services received.
(o)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, cash at bank, demand deposits and highly liquid
investments which are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value.
(p)
Deferred tax liabilities and assets
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are provided for under the liability method at the current tax rate in respect
of all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the
balance sheet and its tax base including unused tax losses and capital allowances.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset
is reviewed at each balance sheet date. If it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available
to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilised, the carrying amount of the deferred
tax asset will be reduced accordingly. When it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available,
such reductions will be reversed to the extent of the 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.
(q)
Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the amount of proceeds received; net off transaction
costs.
(r)
Borrowing costs
Interest costs on borrowings to finance the construction of property, plant and equipment, construction
contracts and property development are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets during the period of time
that is required to complete and prepare the assets for its intended use.
All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the income statement in the period in which they are
incurred.
(s)
Revenue recognition
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered.
Profit from sale of development properties is recognised based on the percentage of completion method in
respect of units sold. Any foreseeable losses are recognised in advance of completion to the extent
determinable.
Income from investments is included in the income statement when the right to receive has been established.

(t)
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation legal or constructive, as a result of a past event,
when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where
the effect of the time of money is material, the amount of provision is the present value of the expenditure
expected to be required to settle the obligation.
(u)
Employee benefits
(i)
Short term benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in
which the associated services are rendered by employees of the 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, and short term
non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.
(ii)
Defined contribution plan
The Group’s contribution plans are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate.
(v)
Financial instruments
Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include cash and bank balances, investments, receivables,
payables and borrowings. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual
accounting policy statements associated with each item.
Financial instruments are offset when the Group and the Company has legally enforceable right to set off the
recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
(w)
Impairment of assets
At each balance sheet date, the Group and the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to
determine whether there is any indication of impairment.
If any 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 or a
cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or
cash-generating unit’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.
An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement immediately.
An assessment is made at each balance sheet date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognised impairment losses for an asset other than goodwill 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’s recoverable amount.
That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
All reversals of impairment losses are recognised as income immediately in the income statement.

(x)
Segmental results
Segment revenues and expenses are those directly attributable to the segments and include any joint revenue
and expenses where a reasonable basis of allocation exists. Segment assets include all assets used by a segment
and consist principally of cash, receivables, inventories and property, plant and equipment, net of allowance
and accumulated depreciation and amortisation. The majority of the segment assets can be directly attributed
to the segments on a reasonable basis. Segment assets and liabilities do not include deferred income taxes,
income tax assets and liabilities.
(y)
Intersegment transfers
Segment revenues, expenses and results include transfers between segments. The prices charged on
intersegment transactions are the same as those charged for similar goods to parties outside of the economic
entity at arm’s length. These transfers are eliminated on consolidation.
(z)
Non-current assets held for sale
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 and 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
(other than investment properties, deferred tax assets, employee benefits assets, financial assets and
inventories) 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 included in profit or loss.
(aa) Convertible instruments
Convertible instruments are regarded as compound instruments, consisting of a liability component and
equity component. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the
prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible instruments and the fair value assigned to the
liability component, representing the conversion option is included in the shareholders’ equity. The liability
component is subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method until extinguished
on conversion whilst the value of the equity component is not adjusted in subsequent periods. Attributable
transaction costs are apportioned and deductible directly from the liability and equity component based on
their carrying amounts at the date of issue.
Under the effective interest rate method, the interest expense on the liability component is calculated by
applying the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible instruments to the instrument. The
difference between this amount and the interest paid is added to the carrying value of the convertible
instruments.
(ab) Dividends
Dividends on ordinary shares are accounted for in shareholders’ equity as an appropriation of
unappropriated profit in the period on which they are declared.

Net carrying amount
Depreciation charged for the financial year
ended 31 December 2005
The management of the Group carried out a review of the recoverable amount of its land and buildings and plant
and machinery during the financial year. The review did not lead to any recognition of impairment loss.
The recoverable amount was based on a valuation done by Firdaus & Associates, a firm of professional valuers, who
have adopted the Comparison Method of valuation on land and buildings and Depreciated Replacement Value
Method of valuation on plant and machinery during the financial year.
The Comparison Method is comparing the subject property with comparable properties which have been sold or are
being offered for sale and making adjustments for factors which affect value such as location and accessibility,
market conditions, size, shape and terrain of land, tenurial interest, restrictions in title (if any), occupancy status,
built-up area, building construction, finishes, services, age and condition of the building and other relevant
characteristics.
The Depreciated Replacement Value Method is defined as an estimate of the current market cost of the plant and
machinery in its existing use less allowances for functional deterioration and all relevant forms of other physical and
economic obsolescence.
The net carrying amount of property, plant and equipment of the Group which are under hire purchase arrangement
amounted to RM641,653 (2005: RM1,267,631).
The entire land, building and estate of the Group have been pledged as securities for the 3.5% RCSLS 2003/2006
issued by the Company.
