The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and not listed on Bursa Malaysia Berhad. The address of the registered office of the Company is Tingkat 10, Wisma Amanah Raya Berhad, No. 15, Jalan Sri Semantan 1, Off Jalan Semantan, 50508 Kuala Lumpur. 2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity and cash flow risk. The Group’s overall financial risk management objective is to ensure that the Group creates value for its shareholders. The Group focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on financial performance of the Group. Financial risk management is carried out through risk reviews, internal control systems and adherence to Group’s financial risk management policies. The Board regularly reviews these risks and approves the treasury policies, which covers the management of these risks. Interest rate risk Dividends paid (600,000) (600,000) (600,000) (600,000) Net cash outflow from financing activities (600,000) (600,000) (600,000) (600,000) Interest rate risk refers to risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Group is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk as the majority of the financial assets and liabilities of the Group are non-interest sensitive, except for the fixed income investments and deposits which are placed with licensed banks at market interest rates. Market risk NET INCREASE/(DECREASE) IN CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AT BEGINNING OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AT END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR 16 235,027 (8,405,863) 972,711 (15,203,954) 28,259,062 36,664,925 20,340,221 35,544,175 28,494,089 28,259,062 21,312,932 20,340,221 Market risk is defined as risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual security of its issuer or factors affecting all securities traded in the market. Market risk exposure arises from investments in quoted shares as the value of the investments will fluctuate as a result of changes in equity market prices. The accompanying notes on pages 69 to 100 form an integral part of the financial statements. 68 Annual Report Laporan Tahunan 2004 69 Annual Report Laporan Tahunan 2004 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2004 (CONTINUED) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2004 (CONTINUED) 3 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) (b) Basis of consolidation Credit risk Credit and counterparty risk is defined as the possibility of losses due to an unexpected default or due to a deterioration of the counterparty’s credit-worthiness. The Group manages its credit risks by placing its deposits with major financial institutions in Malaysia with good financial standing and by requiring guarantors for staff loans. Liquidity and cash flow risk Liquidity and cash flow risk relates to risk that an enterprise will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining marketable securities and sufficient cash for operation and ability to close our market positions. The Group aims at mitigating liquidity risk by adopting a prudent policy in accepting funds and maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping the cash in the short term money market and marketable securities. Subsidiary companies are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date control ceases. Subsidiary companies are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the results of the subsidiary companies acquired or disposed are included from the date of acquisition up to the date of disposal. The cost of an acquisition is the amount of cash paid and the fair value at the date of acquisition of other purchase consideration given by the acquirer, together with directly attributable expenses of the acquisition (other than costs of issuing shares and other capital instruments). At the date of acquisition, the fair values of the subsidiary companies’ net assets are determined and these values are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the subsidiary companies’ identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition is reflected as goodwill on consolidation. Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions are eliminated, unrealised losses are also eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered. 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (c) Property, plant and equipment The following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the financial statements. (a) Basis of preparation The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as disclosed in the summary of significant accounting policies. The financial statements comply with MASB approved accounting standards in Malaysia and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965. The new MASB approved accounting standard adopted in these financial statements is MASB Standard 32 “Property Development Activities”. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MASB approved accounting standards in Malaysia and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 requires the Directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Although these estimates are based on Directors’ best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ from those estimates. Trust assets held in the name of the Company and its predecessor organisation are not included in these financial statements. The activities and assets of the various unit trusts and other funds in which the Company is the trustee are not included in these financial statements as they are separate entities. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment to their residual values over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates of depreciation: 2% 33.33% 20% 10% -20% 33.33% Building Computer equipment Motor vehicles Office equipment, furniture and fittings Renovations During the financial year ended 31 December 2004, the Company changed the annual rate of depreciation for computer equipment from 25% to 33.33%. In accordance with MASB 3 “Net profit or loss for the period, fundamental errors and changes in accounting policies”, the effect of the change in accounting estimates is included in the determination of net profit or loss in the current financial year. If the depreciation for computer equipment was not revised, the effect would have been to increase profit before taxation by RM542,360, and to increase the net book value of computer equipment by RM542,360. At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indications exist, an analysis is performed to assess whether the carrying amount of the asset is fully recoverable. A write down is made if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are included in profit/(loss) from operations. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the period in which they are incurred. The cost of major renovations is included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. 70 Annual Report Laporan Tahunan 2004 71 Annual Report Laporan Tahunan 2004 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2004 (CONTINUED) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2004 (CONTINUED) 3 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (i) Cash and cash equivalents (d) Subsidiary company A subsidiary company is a company in which the Group has power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. Investments in subsidiary companies are stated at cost except where the Directors are of the opinion that there is a permanent diminution in the value of the investment, in which case, allowance is made for the diminution in value. Permanent diminution in the value of an investment is recognised as an expense in the period in which diminution is identified. (e) Other investment Investment in golf club membership is shown at cost and an allowance for diminution in value is made where, in the opinion of the Directors, there is a decline other than temporary in the value of such investment. Where there has been a decline other than temporary in the value of an investment, such a decline is recognised as an expense in the financial period in which the decline is identified. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and bank balances, demand deposits, bank overdraft 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. (j) Hire purchase payables Assets purchased under hire purchase agreements are capitalised as property, plant and equipment and depreciated in accordance with the policy set out in Note 3(c) above. The corresponding obligations due under the hire purchase agreements after deducting finance charges are included as hire purchase payables while finance charges are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the term of the respective hire purchase agreements. (k) Employee benefits (i) (f) Investments Short term employee benefits Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the financial year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. The quoted investments are valued at lower of cost and market value as determined by the last done market price as listed on the Bursa Malaysia Berhad as at the balance sheet date. The unrealised gains and losses are taken to the income statement. The carrying value of fixed income securities are valued at cost adjusted for amortisation of premium or accretion of discount over their par values at the time of acquisition on an effective yield method. The premium or discount is amortised or accreted over the remaining term of the securities from the date of acquisition. (g) Receivables Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Known bad debts are written off in the period in which they are identified and specific allowance is made for any considered to be doubtful of collection. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the financial period end. (h) Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the amounts attributed to assets and liabilities for tax purposes and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. (ii) Post-employment benefits The Group has various post-employment benefit schemes in accordance with local conditions and practices. These benefits plans are either defined contribution or defined benefit plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity (a fund) and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension benefit to the provided, usually as a function of one or more factors such as age, years of service or compensation. 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 payment obligations. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses can be utilised. 72 Annual Report Laporan Tahunan 2004 73 Annual Report Laporan Tahunan 2004 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2004 (CONTINUED) (k) Employee benefits (Continued) 3 Defined benefit plans The liability in respect of a defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date minus the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for actuarial gains/losses and past service cost. The Group determines the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of any plan assets with sufficient regularity such that the amounts recognised in the financial statements do not differ materially from the amounts that would be determined at the balance sheet date. The defined benefit obligation, calculated using the projected unit credit method, is determined by independent actuaries, considering the estimated future cash outflows using market yields at balance sheet date of government securities which have currency and terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (n) Impairment of assets (Continued) The impairment loss is charged to the income statement unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is charged to the revaluation surplus. Any subsequent increase in recoverable amount is recognised in the income statement unless it reverse an impairment loss on a revalued asset in which case it is taken to revaluation surplus. (o) Financial instruments (i) A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one enterprise and a financial liability or equity instrument of another enterprise. (l) Dividends A financial asset is any asset that is cash, a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another enterprise, a contractual right to exchange financial instruments with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially favourable, or an equity instrument of another enterprise. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when proposed or 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. A financial liability is any liability that is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another enterprise, or the exchange of financial instruments with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially unfavourable. (m)Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised upon performance of services and net of service taxes, and after eliminating sales within the Group. Description (ii) Interest income from fixed income securities are recognised on an accrual basis. Financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet The particular recognition adopted for financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet is disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item. Dividends from quoted investments are recognized on the ex-dividend date. (iii) Realised gain and loss on sale of quoted investments is arrived at after accounting for cost of investments, determined on the weighted average cost method. Realised gain and loss on sale of fixed income securities is measured by the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the investments. (n) Impairment of assets Property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. 74 Annual Report Laporan Tahunan 2004 Fair value estimation for disclosure purposes The fair values, less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of more than one year are estimated using a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted value of future cash flows, are used where possible, to determine the fair value for the remaining financial instruments. In particular, the fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the future cash flows at the current market interest rate available to the Company for similar financial instruments. The face values of financial assets (less any estimated credit adjustments) and financial liabilities with a maturity period of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values. 75 Annual Report Laporan Tahunan 2004 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2004 (CONTINUED) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2004 (CONTINUED) 4 7 REVENUE 2004 RM Revenue from: - trust operation - unit trust operation - estate and administration operation - legal operation Income from investment operation Management fee Custodian fee Financial planning fee Rental income Building management fee Land development Group 2003 RM 2004 RM The aggregate amount of emoluments receivable by Directors of the Company during the year are as follows: Company 2003 RM 9,784,494 8,127,577 11,035,303 274,881 6,365,259 46,600 285,650 189,960 454,913 5,266,189 6,877,628 9,510,487 264,291 196,539 4,460,728 42,862 112,500 142,356 - 9,784,494 8,127,577 11,035,303 274,881 6,365,259 - 5,266,189 6,877,628 9,510,487 264,291 196,539 4,323,258 - 36,564,637 26,873,580 35,587,514 26,438,392 Directors remuneration: - fees - other emoluments PERSONNEL COSTS Salaries and wages Pension costs - defined contribution plan Pension costs - defined benefit plans Other staff related costs 6 10,021,185 1,436,444 912,592 3,822,292 9,324,102 1,277,336 878,184 2,497,802 9,472,097 1,355,762 912,592 3,580,576 8,876,633 1,249,253 878,184 2,356,844 16,192,513 13,977,424 15,321,027 13,360,914 2004 RM Group 2003 RM 2004 RM Company 2003 RM PROFIT FROM ORDINARY ACTIVITIES BEFORE TAX Profit from ordinary activities before tax is arrived at after charging/(crediting): Auditors' remuneration Depreciation Fixed assets written off Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment Rental on premises Impairment of a subsidiary company Interest income 76 Annual Report Laporan Tahunan 2004 70,500 3,171,454 101,301 50,000 1,895,839 - 55,000 3,037,640 40,464 45,000 1,794,749 - 71,780 3,008,583 (1,409,829) 43,459 3,061,000 (1,072,986) 17,862 2,790,791 152,000 (1,202,712) 43,459 2,883,329 (1,064,015) 2004 RM Group 2003 RM 2004 RM Company 2003 RM 127,000 392,325 112,200 250,360 112,500 392,325 108,000 250,360 519,325 362,560 504,825 358,360 Details of the defined benefit plan of the Group and Company are set out in Note 18. 8 5 DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION TAX Malaysian income tax: - current year - under/(over) accruals in prior years - deferred tax (Note 18) 2004 RM Group 2003 RM 2004 RM Company 2003 RM 2,072,920 145,105 (519,414) 868,000 (130,405) 6,765 2,192,326 145,105 (524,133) 502,000 (130,405) 9,094 1,698,611 744,360 1,813,298 380,689 The explanation of the relationship between tax expense and profit from ordinary activities before tax is as follows: Group Company 2004 2003 2003 2004 RM RM RM RM Profit from ordinary activities before tax Tax calculated at the Malaysian tax rate of 28% (2003: 28%) Tax effects of: - expenses not deductible for tax purposes - income not subject to tax - under/(over) provision in previous year Tax expense 3,093,817 1,917,324 3,896,011 1,388,970 866,269 536,851 1,090,883 388,912 766,640 (79,403) 145,105 474,547 (136,633) (130,405) 656,713 (79,403) 145,105 258,815 (136,633) (130,405) 1,698,611 744,360 1,813,298 380,689 Subject to agreement by the Inland Revenue Board, the Company has sufficient tax credits under Section 108 of the Income Tax Act, 1967 to frank in full the payment of dividends out of the Company’s distributable retained earnings. 77 Annual Report Laporan Tahunan 2004 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2004 (CONTINUED) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2004 (CONTINUED) 9 10 EARNINGS PER SHARE PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED) The earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the financial year of the Group amounting to RM1,395,206 (2003: RM1,172,964) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial year of 6,000,002 (2003: 6,000,002).
