chairman’s statement
Dear Valued Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present
the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements of
Pulai Springs Berhad Group of Companies for the
financial year ended 31 December 2004.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
This has been a year of recovery and growth in most Malaysian businesses.
Recovering from the ravages of global threats, natural disasters and
uncertainties, the hospitality and property sectors have surged forward with
consumers gaining confidence in the economy.
Group operating income is up from RM45 million to RM50 million and increased
efforts by the management team in the property segment has brought notable
results. As such, the Group has been able to record a net profit after tax of
RM3.36 million.
18
DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors is pleased to propose a dividend of 5% less 28% tax per
ordinary share amounting to RM3,780,000 in respect of the current financial year.
NEW OPERATIONS
I am pleased to introduce The Pulai Desaru Beach located on the East Coast of
Johor. Previously operating as Desaru Perdana Beach Resort, this property was
acquired by the Group in June 2004 and marks what is hopefully the first of many
milestones in the Group's expansion in the hospitality industry. With over 200
rooms and all the amenities and facilities of a complete holiday resort, we are
confident that this property will soon contribute to the financial strength of the
Group.
chairman’s statement (cont’d)
LOOKING AHEAD
With property projects underway in Johor Baru and Muar, Johor, the Group will expand its focus to property sales while
continuing to develop new markets and maintain traditional markets in hospitality. New operations in the coming year in
various sectors include at least two new property launches, increased resort operations and stepped up hospitality marketing
locally and abroad. With the CintaAyu serviced apartments coming online in 2006, Pulai Springs Resort will become a full
fledged resort with the addition of room inventory.
Pulai Springs Berhad's inherent strength is in its assets and resources. Prudent but innovative management will steer the
Group with determination and constant vigilance to ensure the Group's profitability in the coming years.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
It has been an exciting year for Pulai Springs Berhad. Heartfelt acknowledgements are expressed towards the untiring efforts

managing director’s report
Dear Valued Shareholders,
20
Lifestyle has become a byword for
many industries, more so in the
property development and hospitality
industries. Lifestyle has in fact been
the mainstay product of the Pulai
Springs Group as it continues in its
commitment of providing the best
service and exceptional value for
money in both the hospitality and
property development industries. The
service excellence and relationship
building efforts that the Group has long
established have garnered substantial
and valuable customer loyalty.
The added boon of economic recovery
in both the hospitality and property
development industries in 2004 with
fewer global threats than in the
previous years has provided the
mainstay income to the Group. This
has greatly aided efforts to source and
develop new sources of revenue.
managing director’s report (cont’d)
BUSINESS REVIEW
With the tradition of ”adding spice to life” in mind, strategic planning is being carried out by the Group to source for new and
diversified property development and hospitality projects. Although cash flow has been channeled to investing activities, there
has been general prudence in operational expenditure and there is great confidence that these investments will provide steady
revenue streams in the medium term.
HOSPITALITY
Resort operations have expanded with the acquisition of The Pulai Desaru Beach. Room inventory has increased and the
MICE business revenue maintained a steady stream of income through the year through concerted efforts of a combined
marketing and sales team for both Pulai Springs Resort and The Pulai Desaru Beach.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT
Purchasers of GanggaAyu bungalow lots have commenced and some have completed construction of their Resort Villas. The
continued sales of the CintaAyu Resort Apartments sell-and-leaseback units have been successful due in no small part to
heavy marketing with selective participation in the local and international trade fairs, as well as with public relations and
advertising activities. These leaseback units will add to room inventory and feature prominently in resort operations upon their
completion in 2006.
21
managing director’s report (cont’d)
UPGRADED QUALITY SYSTEM
The Group has upgraded its Management Quality standard from ISO 9002:1994 to the latest standard of ISO 9001-2000 as
accredited by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance. This indicates the commitment of the Group to quality excellence in service
to meet and exceed customer expectation and set new standards for the industry.
GOOD CORPORATE CITIZEN
Integral to our business philosophy is the concept of giving back to society a generous portion of what we have received. The
Group has actively sought out and participated in the fulfillment of community needs including the organization of charity
tournaments and sponsorship of social events.
Notably, at the Pulai Springs Resort's Annual Charity Golf Tournament 2004, RM250,000 was raised and channeled towards
the setting up of 22 shelters in Johor state for abused and abandoned children through JUITA.
The Group maintains its commitment to the society in the knowledge that as lifestyle providers, its duty lies not only with those
who can afford its products and services but especially so with those who cannot.
LOOKING FORWARD
22
The Group's main objectives for this financial year is to continue to source and create new revenue streams while seeking to
constantly improve current streams. The current positive economic trends locally as well as in Singapore and internationally,
augur well for the MICE business and property sectors.
(cont’d)
HOSPITALITY
With the CintaAyu Resort Apartments coming onstream in 2006, much planning is being carried out to position the Group's
MICE business. With an increased room inventory of 180 rooms combined with the 200 rooms of The Pulai Desaru Beach,
efforts will be concentrated on cross marketing all the hospitality properties at home and abroad. With greater resultant
efficiencies from a consolidated marketing team for all the hospitality properties, the Group's main objective for the coming
year will be the optimizing of resources for the benefit of the members and their guests, thereby preserving its brand and
image.
With the Group's commitment to become the best niche property developer in the region, the Property division has several
projects in hand this year. With attention to distinctive and superior designs, the Group looks to establishing and cementing
its reputation in being a leading lifestyle provider in the region.
CintaAyu Resort Apartments
With the successful completion of sales of the sell-and-leaseback units, the CintaAyu, the Property division will commence
sale of 120 residential units within the same apartment block. With concentration on lifestyle, the property offers a solid
investment of a home within a RM200 million resort of world renown.

statement on corporate governance
The Board of Directors (“the Board”) of Pulai Springs Berhad (“PSB”) continues to be committed to ensuring that the
highest standard of corporate governance is maintained throughout the Company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) and
efforts have been made to ensure that the best practices of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (“Code”) are
appropriately adopted.
The Board is pleased to provide a statement on how the Group has applied the principles and the extent of compliance
with best practices of the Code. The ensuing paragraphs describe how the Group has applied the principles and the
extent of compliance with the best practices of the Code.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Composition and Balance
The Board composition is important in ensuring that its responsibilities are discharged effectively. As of 31 December 2004,
the Board has 9 members, comprising 3 Independent Non-Executive Directors, 2 Non-Independent Non-Executive Directors
and 4 Executive Directors. This composition adequately satisfies Bursa Securities Listing Requirements of having at least one
third of its members as Independent Non-Executive Directors.
28
The Board is balanced in terms of skill and experience. The Directors possess a wide range of skills and experience relevant
to managing and directing the Group's operations. The Independent Non-Executive Directors bring to bear objective and
independent judgement to the decision making of the Board. This is important as the Independent Non-Executive Directors
provide an effective check and balance to the decision making process of the Board and ensure that no individual director or
a small group of Directors dominates the Board's proceedings.
The Board believes that its current composition fairly reflects the investment of minority shareholders in the Company and
represents the needed mix of skills and experience required to discharge the Board's duties and responsibilities.
The profiles of the members of the Board are set out on pages 10 to 13 of this Annual Report.
Duties and Responsibilities
The Board is responsible for charting the strategic direction, development and control of the Group and adopts the specific
responsibilities that are listed in the Code, which facilitate the discharge of the Board's stewardship responsibilities.
There is a clear division of responsibility between the Chairman and the Managing Director to ensure a balance of power and
authority. The Chairman is responsible for the working of the Board, its membership and participation of the members at Board
meetings, whilst the Managing Director's responsibility is to oversee the daily management of the Group's business operations
and implementation of policies and strategies adopted by the Board.
The Board has identified Dato' Prof Zainuddin bin Muhammad as the senior independent non-executive director to whom
concerns may be conveyed.

statement on internal control
Introduction
The Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance states that the Board should maintain a sound system of internal controls to
safeguard shareholders' investment and the Group's assets. Furthermore, paragraph 15.27 (b) of the Listing Requirements of
Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) requires the Board of Pulai Springs Berhad to include a statement on
the state of the Group's internal controls. The Board is pleased to include such a statement which is guided by the Bursa
Securities Statement on Internal Control: Guidance for Directors of Public Listed Companies (“the Guidance”). The statement
outlines the nature and scope of the internal controls of the Group during the financial year.
Board Responsibility
The Board recognises the importance of a sound system of internal controls and risk management practices and affirms its
overall responsibility for Group's system of internal control, inclusive of the risk management framework, and for reviewing the
adequacy and integrity of the internal control system. This responsibility of reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the internal
control system is delegated to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is empowered by its terms of reference to seek
assurance on the adequacy and integrity of the internal control system through independent reviews conducted by the internal
audit function, external auditors and management.
34
However, it should be noted there are inherent limitations to any system of internal controls. Therefore, the system of internal
control effected by Management is designed to reduce rather than eliminate all the risks that may impede the achievement of
the Group's business objectives. Consequently, the internal control system can only provide reasonable and not absolute
assurance against materials misstatement or loss.
Risk Management Framework
The key risks relating to the Group's operations and strategic and business plans are addressed at the Board and weekly /
monthly management meetings. Furthermore, the Heads of Department are responsible for managing their own departmental
risks and such risks and the related responses are communicated to Senior Management at the scheduled management
meetings.
In addition, the Risk Management Committee (“RMC”) which was established during the financial year is chaired by an
Executive Director and includes several key management staff. The RMC is responsible for ensuring that the adopted risk
management processes are adequate and effective for the Group's operations. During the financial year ended 31 December
2004, the RMC met once to adopt their term of reference, review the Group's risk management policy and the Group's key
risk profile.
The above is a description of the on going process in which risks are identified, evaluated and managed.
Other key Elements of Internal Controls
The other elements of the Group's internal control system are:

Assurance
The Board continues to be vigilant and is committed to ensuring that the system of internal controls and effective risk

controls.

report of the auditors
to the Members of Pulai Springs Berhad
We have audited the financial statements set out on pages 48 to 83. The preparation of the financial statements is the
responsibility of the Company's directors.
It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on the financial statements and to report our opinion
to you, as a body, in accordance with Section 174 of the Companies Act, 1965 and for no other purpose. We do not assume
responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.
We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. These standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our
audit included examining, on a test basis, evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
audit also included an assessment of the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the directors as well
as evaluating the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. We believe our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion,
(a) the financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and
applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of:(i)
the state of affairs of the Group and the Company at 31 December 2004 and their results and cash flows for the
financial year ended on that date; and
(ii)
the matters required by Section 169 of the Companies Act, 1965 to be dealt with in the financial statements of the
Group and the Company; and
(b) the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Companies Act, 1965 to be kept by the Company
and by the subsidiaries of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions
of the said Act.
We have considered the financial statements and the auditors' report of the subsidiary of which we have not acted as auditors,
as indicated in Note 6 to the financial statements.
We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the Company's financial
statements are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purpose of the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required by us for those purposes.
The audit reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification and did not include any
comment made under Subsection (3) of Section 174 of the Companies Act, 1965.

notes to the financial statements
1.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company is a public company limited by shares and is incorporated under the Malaysian Companies Act, 1965. The
domicile of the Company is in Malaysia. The registered office, which is also the principal place of business, is at 20 KM,
Jalan Pontian Lama, 81110 Pulai, Johor.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of directors
dated 22 April 2005.
54
2.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The Company is principally engaged in the business of investment holding whilst the principal activities of the subsidiaries
are set out in Note 6 to the financial statements. There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities
during the financial year.
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 business whilst managing its foreign currency, interest rate, market, credit, liquidity and cash
flow risks. The policies in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are as follows:(a) Foreign Currency Risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in foreign currencies. It
manages its foreign currency exposure by a policy of matching as far as possible receipts and payments in each
individual currency.
The directors are of the opinion that the Company's exposure to currency risk is not significant.
(b) Interest Rate Risk
The Group obtains financing through bank borrowings, leasing and hire purchase arrangements. The Group policy is
to obtain the most favourable interest rates available.
Surplus funds are placed with reputable financial institutions at the most favourable interest rates.
(c) Credit Risk
The Group's exposure to credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, arises mainly from receivables. The
maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the total carrying amounts of these financial assets in the balance
sheet.
The Group does not have any major concentration of credit risk related to any individual customer or counterparty.
The Group manages its exposure to credit risk by investing its cash assets safely and profitably, and by the
application of credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures on an ongoing basis.
3.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONT'D)
(d) Market Risk
The Group does not have any quoted investments and hence is not exposed to market risks.
(e) Liquidity and Cash Flow Risk
The Group's exposure to liquidity and cash flow risks arises mainly from general funding and business activities.
The Group practises prudent liquidity risk management by maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding
through certain committed credit facilities.
4.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and modified to include other bases of
valuation as disclosed in other sections under significant accounting policies, and in compliance with applicable approved
accounting standards in Malaysia and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965.
5.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up
to 31 December 2004.
A subsidiary is defined as an enterprise in which the Group has the power, directly on indirectly, to exercise control
over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
All subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of
accounting, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of are included from the date of acquisition or up to the
date of disposal. At the date of acquisition, the fair values of the subsidiaries' net assets are determined and these
values are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions are eliminated; unrealised losses are also
eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of
the subsidiary to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group.
(b) Goodwill or Negative Goodwill on Consolidation
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the Group's share of the fair
values of the separable net assets of the subsidiaries at the date of acquisition. Negative goodwill represents the
excess of the Group's share of the fair values of the separable net assets of the subsidiaries at the date of acquisition
over the fair value of the purchase consideration.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
(b) Goodwill or Negative Goodwill on Consolidation (Cont’d)
Goodwill is reviewed annually and is written down for impairment where it is considered necessary. The impairment
value of goodwill written off is taken to the income statement.
With effect from 1 January 2004, the Group changed its policy to amortise negative goodwill on a straight line basis
over a period of 5 years. This change in accounting policy has also been applied retrospectively and the effects on
prior financial years have been taken up as prior year adjustments in the financial statements. The effects of this
change in accounting policy on the current and prior years are as disclosed in Note 34.
(c) Investments in Subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost in the balance sheet of the Company, and are reviewed for impairment
at the end of the financial year if events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be
recoverable.
(d) Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group or the Company has become a party to
the contractual provisions of the instruments.
56
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 a 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 or the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends
to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial instruments recognised in the balance sheet are disclosed in the individual policy statement associated with
each item.
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or less accumulated depreciation or
accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. Freehold land is stated at cost less accumulated impairment
loss, if any and is not depreciated.
Depreciation is not provided on the golf course, development expenditure and freehold land. The golf course is not
depreciated as it is the Group's practice to maintain the golf course in such condition that the residual values are not
significantly affected. Crockery, glassware, cutlery and linen are capitalised at the minimum level required for normal
operations and no depreciation is provided on these items as the amount involved is not material to the financial
statements.
5.
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment (Cont'd)
Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method to write off the cost of the assets over their estimated useful
lives. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:Leasehold land
Buildings and hostel
Equipment
Furniture and fittings
Machinery
Motor vehicles

Impairment of Assets
The carrying amounts of assets, other than those to which MASB 23 - Impairment of Assets does not apply, are
reviewed at each balance sheet date for impairment when there is an indication that the assets might be impaired.
Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts.
An impairment loss is charged to the income statement immediately unless the asset is carried at its revalued
amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of a previously
recognised revaluation surplus for the same asset.
In respect of assets other than goodwill, and when there is a change in the estimates used to determine the
recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the
previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been
determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is
recognised in the income statement immediately, unless the asset is carried at its revalued amount. A reversal of an
impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited directly to the revaluation surplus. However, to the extent that an
impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognised as an expense in the income statement, a
reversal of that impairment loss is recognised as income in the income statement.
(g) Assets under Finance Leases and Hire Purchase
Plant and equipment acquired under finance lease and hire purchase are capitalised in the financial statements and
are depreciated in accordance with the policy set out in Note 5(e) above. Each hire purchase payment is allocated
between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding.
Finance charges are allocated to the income statement over the period of the respective finance lease and hire
purchase agreements.
57
5.
(h) Property Held For Future Development
Property held for future development is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Where property held
for future development had previously been recorded at a revalued amount, the revalued amount is retained as its
surrogate cost.
Property held for future development is classified as non-current asset where no development activities are carried
out or where development activities are not expected to be completed within the normal operating cycle.
Costs associated with the acquisition of land include the purchase price of the land, professional fees, stamp duties,
commissions, conversion fees and other relevant levies. Pre-acquisition costs are charged to the income statement
as incurred unless such costs are directly identifiable to the consequent property development activity.
Property held for future development is transferred to current asset when development activities have commenced
and where it can be demonstrated that the development activities can be completed within the normal operating
cycle.
(i)
Capitalisation of Borrowing Costs
Interest incurred on borrowings specifically taken to finance the capital work-in-progress is capitalised and included
as part of the cost of the capital assets until they are ready for their intended use, after which such expense is
charged to the income statement.
(j)
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a first-in-first-out basis, and
includes the cost of materials and incidentals incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and
condition.
58
In arriving at net realisable value, due allowance is made for all damaged, obsolete and slow-moving items.
(k) 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 balance sheet
date.
(l)
Property Development Costs and Progress Billings/Accrued Billings
Property development costs comprise costs associated with the acquisition of land and all costs that are directly
attributable to development activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities.
Property development costs that are not recognised as an expense are recognised as an asset and carried at the
lower of cost and net realisable value.
5.
(l)
Property Development Costs and Progress Billings/Accrued Billings (Cont’d)
In respect of progress billings:(i)
where revenue recognised in the income statement exceeds the billings to purchasers, the balance is shown as
accrued billings under current assets; and
(ii)
where billings to purchasers exceed the revenue recognised to the income statement, the balance is shown as
progress billings under current liabilities.
(m) Payables
Payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services
received.
(n) Interest-bearing Borrowings
Interest-bearing bank borrowings, finance lease and hire purchase are recorded at the amounts of proceeds
received, net of transaction costs.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of development properties are capitalised as
part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are charged to the income statement as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
(o) Equity Instruments
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when declared
before the balance sheet date. A dividend proposed or declared after the balance sheet date, but before the financial
statements are authorised for issue, is not recognised as a liability at the balance sheet date but as an appropriation
from retained earnings and treated as a separate component of equity. Upon the approval of the proposed dividend,
it will be accounted for as a liability.
(p) Employee Benefits
(i)
Short-term Benefits
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period in which the
associated services are rendered by employees of the Group.
(ii) Defined Contribution Plans
The Group's contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the income statement in the period to
which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further liabilities in respect of the
defined contribution plans.
59
5.
for the financial year ended 31December 2004 (cont’d)
(q) Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year and is
measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences other than those that 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 assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits
to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences,
unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 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 the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at
the balance sheet date.
60
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 to 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. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the
deferred tax assets to be utilised.
(r)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand deposits, deposits pledged with financial
institutions, bank overdrafts and short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts
of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(s) Foreign Currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into Ringgit Malaysia at the approximate rates of exchange ruling at
the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at
the rates ruling as of that date. All exchange differences are taken to the income statement.
The income statement of a foreign subsidiary is translated into Ringgit Malaysia at the average rate for the financial
year, and the balance sheet is translated at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences
are taken to the fluctuation reserve account. On the disposal of the subsidiary, such translation differences are
recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on the disposal.

41. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONT'D)
The details of the contingent liabilities, all of which are unsecured, are as follows :(i)
A subsidiary has submitted revised tax returns for the years of assessment 1995 to 2003 to the Inland Revenue
Board ("IRB"). The revised tax returns have incorporated the claim for capital allowances on the capital expenditure
incurred on the golf course and the club house, other than the costs incurred for the acquisition of the golf course
land. The directors are of the opinion that these capital expenditure qualify for capital allowances.
However, the IRB has not allowed the subsidiary to claim the capital allowances as they consider the aforesaid capital
expenditure to be non-qualifying.
The subsidiary has appealed to the IRB on their decision. Should the appeal be successful, the amount of tax payable
for the years of assessment 1995 to 2003 will be reduced by approximately RM11.3 million. On the other hand, if the
appeal by the subsidiary is unsuccessful, the subsidiary may incur additional tax liability as well as tax penalties for
late payment for the sum stated above.
The additional tax provision and resulting late payment penalties have not been effected in the financial statements
as at 31 December 2004 as the directors are of the view that their appeal is likely to be successful.
(ii)
A third party has initiated arbitration proceedings against a subsidiary claiming the above-mentioned sum in respect
of work purportedly done for the subsidiary. The subsidiary is disputing the claim, and has counterclaimed for
approximately RM6.2 million for, inter alia, rectification of defective work and costs to complete the third party's
unfinished work, and other related damages in respect of the work. The arbitration proceedings are currently pending
and there is also a pending appeal by the subsidiary to the Court of Appeal in respect of the interlocutory application
for security for costs.
The claim by the third party has not been taken up in the financial statements as the directors are of the opinion that
the arbitration proceedings by the third party will not be successful.
(iii) A third party has initiated High Court proceedings against a subsidiary for the sum stated above for work purportedly
done for the subsidiary. The subsidiary is defending the claim, and is counter-claiming a total sum of RM0.9 million
against the third party. The third party has been subsequently awarded a summary judgement for the sum of
RM865,096 plus interest and costs. The summary judgement granted by the Senior Assistant Registrar against the
subsidiary has been set aside by the Judge on appeal.
The claim by the third party has not been taken up in the financial statements as the directors are of the opinion that
the litigation claim by the third party will not be successful.

46. FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Fair value is defined as the amount for which the financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction
between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction, other that in a forced sale or liquidation.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
(a) Bank Balances and Other Liquid and Short Term Receivables
The carrying amounts approximated their fair values due to the relatively short term maturity of these instruments.
(b) Short Term Borrowings and Other Current Liabilities
The carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of the short period to maturity of these instruments.
(c) Long Term Bank Loans
The carrying amounts approximated their fair values as these instruments bear interest at variable rates.
(d) Finance Lease and Hire Purchase Obligations
The fair values of finance lease and hire purchase payables are determined by discounting the relevant cash flows
using current interest rates for similar types of instruments.
