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. 9 FV Part1 29/5/07 10:06 AM Page 10 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.

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. 17 FV Part1 29/5/07 10:06 AM Page 18 STATEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROLS 5.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND GENERAL INFORMATION The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of the subsidiary companies are disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements. The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The registered office of the Company is located at Suite 10.3, 10th Floor, Menara CSM, Jalan Semangat, 46100 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan. The financial statements of the Group and of the Company were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 25 April 2007. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable MASB Approved Accounting Standards in Malaysia for Entities Other Than Private Entities. 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, unless otherwise indicated in the other significant accounting policies. The financial statements are presented in its functional currency, Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”) and are rounding up to thousand in presenting amounts in the financial statements. 37 FV Part2 29/5/07 10:12 AM Page 16 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2006 4. (Cont’d) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (b) Adoption of Financial Reporting Standards (“FRSs”) The following applicable FRSs have been adopted by the Group and the Company effective for financial period beginning on or after 1 January 2006:FRS 3 FRS 5 FRS 101 FRS 102 FRS 107 2004 FRS 108 FRS 110 FRS 112 2004 FRS 114 2004 FRS 116 FRS 118 2004 FRS 119 2004 FRS 123 2004 FRS 124 FRS 127 FRS 131 FRS 132 FRS 133 FRS 134 2004 FRS 136 FRS 137 2004 FRS 138 FRS 139 FRS 201 2004 Business Combinations Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Presentation of Discontinued Operations Presentation of Financial Statements Inventories Cash Flow Statements Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors Events After the Balance Sheet Date Income Taxes Segment reporting Property, plant and equipment Revenue Employee Benefits Borrowing cost Related Party Disclosures Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements Interests on Joint Ventures Financial Instruments : Disclosure and Presentation Earnings Per Share Interim Financial Reporting Impairment of Assets Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Intangible Assets Financial Instruments : Recognition and Measurement Property Development Activities 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. 38 FV Part2 29/5/07 10:12 AM Page 17 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2006 (Cont’d) 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (b) Adoption of Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”) (Cont’d) FRS 101: Presentation of Financial Statements (Cont’d) The current financial year’s presentation of the Group's financial statements is based on the revised requirements of FRS 101, with the comparatives restated to conform with the current financial year’s presentation. The Group and the Company have not adopted the following:(i) FRSs that are mandatory for financial periods beginning on or after 1 October 2006:- FRS 117 - Leases - FRS 124 - Related Party Disclosures (ii) FRSs and amendments that are mandatory for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007:- FRS 6 - Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources FRS 6 is not relevant to the Group’s and Company’s operations. - (iii) (c) Amendment to FRS 119 2004: Employee Benefits – Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures Amendment to FRS 119 2004 is not relevant to the Group’s and Company’s operations. 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. 39 FV Part2 29/5/07 10:12 AM Page 18 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2006 (Cont’d) 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (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. 40 FV Part2 29/5/07 10:12 AM Page 19 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2006 (Cont’d) 4. 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. 41 FV Part2 29/5/07 10:12 AM Page 20 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2006 4. (Cont’d) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (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. 42 FV Part2 29/5/07 10:12 AM Page 21 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2006 4. (Cont’d) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (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. 43 FV Part2 29/5/07 10:12 AM Page 22 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2006 4. (Cont’d) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (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.

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. 45 FV Part2 29/5/07 10:12 AM Page 24 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2006 5.
