President’s Statement
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to write as your President and present
to you the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements of DFZ Capital Berhad (“DFZ”)
for the financial year ended 28 February 2010.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial year ended 28 February 2010, despite the challenging first half of 2009 with the global economic recession
and the A(H1N1) flu pandemic, sees DFZ Group securing another commendable performance with revenue and pretax profit of RM526.94 million and RM59.34 million respectively. Comparing with the annualised revenue of RM552.92
million and pre-tax profit of RM52.07 million for the 14-month financial period ended 28 February 2009, the Group has
recorded an increase in revenue of RM53.01 million or 11.19% and pre-tax profit of RM14.71 million or 32.96%.
DFZ continues to unlock the synergy from the acquisition of Emas Kerajang Sdn Bhd (“Emas Kerajang”). During the
financial year ended 28 February 2010, DFZ Group added two new companies into its stable, namely Seruntun Maju
Sdn Bhd (“Seruntun Maju”), a duty-free retailer operating a duty-free complex at the Malaysia-Thai border area of
Pengkalan Hulu, Grik, Perak and First Influx Sdn Bhd (“First Influx”), a licensed distributor and wholesaler of duty free
merchandise.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
The Group continues its expansion plan during the financial year.
On 18 March 2009, the Group opened an outlet, Zon Emporium at Low Cost Carrier Terminal, KL International Airport
and on 25 April 2009, at Skypark, Subang Airport.
On 5 August 2009, DFZ acquired the entire issued and paid-up share capital of Seruntun Maju for a cash consideration
of RM13.0 million. Seruntun Maju owns and operates a duty free complex at Pengkalan Hulu, Grik, Perak, another road
gateway of Malaysia-Thai border. With the acquisition of Seruntun Maju Sdn Bhd, DFZ now has presence in all the four
Malaysia-Thai border gateways, hence strengthening its market position in the border-town duty-free business.
On 15 October 2009 DFZ acquired the entire issued and paid-up share capital of First Influx for a total cash consideration
of RM1.7 million. First Influx’s principal activity is that of a licensed distributor and wholesaler of duty free merchandise,
which augurs well with the core business of the Group.
A nnual Rep o r t 20 1 0
The ZON Johor Bahru continues to be the happening place in Johor Bahru with its mix of themed restaurants,
entertainment hall and outlets, café and pubs, enhanced water features and contemporary decor. However, DFZ’s
hospitality segment faces certain challenges in the current economic environment nevertheless it will be resilient with
the financial strength of DFZ Group.
In order to streamline the business at the ZON Johor Bahru, DFZ acquired the entire equity interest in Tenggara Senandung
Sdn Bhd (“TSSB”) from Atlan Holdings Bhd (“Atlan”) for a cash consideration of RM22.0 million. This acquisition was
completed on 7 April 2010. TSSB is principally engaged in the business of operating ferry terminal and car parks and
trading of high speed diesel at the Zon Johor Bahru and operating car parks at Bukit Kayu Hitam Duty Free Zone. The
acquisition of TSSB will enable DFZ to complement and enhance its existing operations at the Zon Johor Bahru and
Bukit Kayu Hitam Duty Free Zone.
On 16 October 2009, DFZ acquired the entire equity interest in Binamold Sdn Bhd (“BMSB”) from Atlan for a cash
consideration of RM2.8 million and assumed the inter-company debt due and owing by BMSB to Atlan amounting to
RM5.2 million. BMSB owns the land and building leased to DFZ as principal place of operations with warehouse and
the acquisition allows DFZ to own its office and warehouse.
President’s Statement (Cond’t)
On 7 April 2010, Orchard Boulevard Sdn Bhd (“OBSB”), a wholly owned subsidiary disposed of OBSB’s entire equity
interest in Radiant Ranch Sdn Bhd (“RRSB”) to Atlan for a cash consideration of RM14.9 million and the assumption
by Atlan of inter-company debt due and owing by RRSB to DFZ and/or its related company(ies) amounting to RM12.1
million. RRSB owns a piece a vacant land for development in Batu Ferringhi, Penang which is adjacent to the property
development project undertaken by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlan. The disposal represents the rationalisation of
property development business of Atlan Group while allowing DFZ to realise its investment.
On 28 June 2010, the Board of Directors received notification from Atlan that Atlan had on even date entered into a
conditional sale and purchase agreement with Esmart Holdings Limited (“Esmart”), a public limited company listed
on the Catalist Board of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”) for the proposed acquisition by
Esmart of 156,861,702 ordinary shares in DFZ or 74.71% equity interest owned by Atlan. The consideration is RM470.6
million or RM3.00 per DFZ share and will be satisfied by the issuance of 12,702,123,773 new ordinary shares in Esmart
at the issue price of SGD0.015765 per Esmart Share and 1,270,212,377 free warrants on the basis of one free warrant
for every 10 Esmart Shares. The proposal will result in a reverse take-over of Esmart by Atlan and as such the ultimate
majority shareholder of DFZ will remain as Atlan after the proposal.
Atlan expects the proposed reverse take-over of Esmart to increase the international profile and stature of the Atlan
Group. Atlan and DFZ, via Esmart, would then be better placed to tap into a range of alternative funding options
leveraging on the regional capital markets and international banking community for funding future growth.
OUTLOOK
DFZ will continue to intensify its marketing efforts, enhance its service quality, extend its product offerings and explore
new opportunity in duty-free retailing. I believe there are still areas for us to capitalise our strength in the duty-free
market at the Malaysia-Thai border and we will strive for it. I am confident that our hospitality segment will improve
with the recovery of the economy.
SHARE BUY-BACK AND DISTRIBUTION OF TREASURY SHARES
In the financial year under review, DFZ purchased 3,417,400 ordinary shares for a total consideration (transaction cost
included) of RM12,159,956. In addition, DFZ distributed 3,232,167 treasury shares as share dividends to shareholders
on the basis of 1 treasury share for every 100 existing ordinary shares. As at 28 February 2010, a total of 199,033
shares were held as treasury shares.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Government and the regulatory authorities have provided us with excellent and progressive macro-economic
management, of which I am indebted to. I believe that our business environment will continue to remain conducive. The
relentless focus of the Government under the leadership of our beloved Prime Minister, Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’
Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak, to make the Tenth Malaysia Plan with the New Economic Model a success,
will lead the nation to greater heights, thus presenting more opportunities for us in our growing market.
I would like to thank all our shareholders, bankers, suppliers and business partners for their continued support. I also
wish to express my gratitude for the contribution and commitment of our employees.
On my part, I remain your humble and obedient servant and pledge to continue my commitment and diligence to the
Group.
Yours sincerely,
Chen Siak Chan
President

Director concerned.
The policy of the Executive Directors’ Remuneration will be in line with the Group’s overall practice on pay and benefits.
Non-Executive Directors’ and the Independent Non-Executives’ remuneration will be a matter to be decided by the

individual remuneration. The Company will reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by Non-Executive Directors in

Corporate Social Responsibility
The Board of Directors of DFZ Capital Berhad recognises the importance of balancing the interest of all or key
stakeholders – our customers, our shareholders, our employees, our suppliers and the communities in which we work.
We see the need for corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) as an integral part of the whole operations and a key factor
in our continued growth and success of the businesses of the Group. The CSR initiatives undertaken by the Group
are summarised below.
COMMUNITY
We encourage all our businesses to support the particular needs of their communities by contributing to local charities
and community initiatives. Support takes the form of employees’ time and skill, gifts in kind and cash donations. We
continue to support education and welfares in our local communities.
During the year, the Group had contributed donations to various worthy organisations including non-profit organisation
like Yayasan Harmoni, which promotes the welfare of orphans, single mothers and the less fortunate and Mount Miriam
Cancer Hospital which is a non profit organisation for the treatment and continuing care of patients with cancer.
Contributions were also made through Yayasan Harmoni for the welfare of students at several schools.
A subsidiary, Kelana Megah Sdn Bhd, took pride in organising the official launch of the joint project by our holding
company, Atlan Holdings Bhd, Yayasan Harmoni and Aman Palestin Berhad to raise funds to build a specialist clinic in
Gaza, Palestine, on 7 March 2009 in its complex, at The Zon Johor Bahru. The collection totalled RM 250,000.
The Zon Johor Bahru had continuously organised many events during the year to promote the 1 Malaysia spirit through
the local multiracial festivals celebrations and Merdeka Celebration carnival, encourage active lifestyle, for school
children through its event “3X3 Streetball Challenge”, creating awareness on health and general wellbeing through
“Health Awareness and Blood Donation Campaign” together with Johor State Health Department and many other
activities to reach out to the community.
The Group will continue to support and encourage all our employees and businesses to find ways to help their
communities.
WORKPLACE
The Group aims to attract, retain and motivate the highest calibre of employees within the operating structure that
encourages their contribution and development, considers its human resource as its most valuable asset, and thus,
ensures that it is well taken care of. The employees have access to trainings (internal and external) for their continuous
improvement and development so as to help our employees prepare for new initiatives, as well as equipping them
with the very best customer service skills. In addition, health and safety awareness programs and sports activities
were held to encourage employees to lead a healthy lifestyle. The Group also organised annual dinners and festive
celebrations for its employees.
ENVIRONMENT
Good environment practice and the impact that our operations have on the environment are of great importance to
the Group. We undertook several initiatives in preserving the environment, including reducing the usage of paper via
electronic communication and recycling paper and closely monitor energy consumption such as replacing existing
equipments with more energy efficient and fitting temperature control devices.

Before the income statements and balance sheets of the Group and of the Company were made out, the directors
took reasonable steps:
(i) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of
provision for doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and
that adequate provision had been made for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the Group. The
directors were also satisfied themselves that there were no known bad debts and that adequate provision
had been made for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the Company; and
(ii)
to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their value as shown in the accounting
records in the ordinary course of business had been written down to an amount which they might be
expected so to realise.
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render:
(i)
the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the financial
statements of the Group inadequate to any substantial extent nor are they aware of any circumstances
which would render it necessary to write off any bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful
debts inadequate to any substantial extent in respect of the financial statements of the Company; and
(ii)
the values attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
misleading.
(c) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which would render
adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading
or inappropriate.
(d) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report
or financial statements of the Group and of the Company which would render any amount stated in the financial
statements misleading.
(e) As at the date of this report, there does not exist:
(i)
any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial
year which secures the liabilities of any other person; or
(ii)
any contingent liability of the Group or of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial
year.

Other statutory information (Cont’d)
(f)
In the opinion of the directors:

of twelve months after the end of the financial year which will or may affect the ability of the Group or of
the Company to meet their obligations when they fall due; and
(ii) no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the end of
the financial year and the date of this report which is likely to affect substantially the results of the operations
of the Group or of the Company for the financial year in which this report is made.

Independent Auditors’ Report
to the members of DFZ Capital Berhad (Incorporated in Malaysia)
Report on the financial statements
We have audited the financial statements of DFZ Capital Berhad., which comprise the balance sheets as at 28 February
2010 of the Group and of the Company, and the income statements, statements of changes in equity and cash flow
statements for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as
set out on pages 30 to 91.
Directors’ responsibility for the financial statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia. This responsibility includes:
designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate
accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditors’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider
internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards
and the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of
the Company as at 28 February 2010 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia, we also report the following:
(a)
In our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company
and its subsidiaries for which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions
of the Act.
(b)
We have considered the financial statements and the auditors’ reports of all the subsidiaries of which we have
not acted as auditors, which are indicated in Note 17 to the financial statements, being financial statements that
have been included in the consolidated financial statements.
(c)
We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the financial
statements of the Company are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation
of the consolidated financial statements and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required
by us for those purposes.
(d)
The auditors’ reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification and did
not include any comment required to be made under Section 174(3) of the Act.
Other matters
This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 174 of the Companies
Act 1965 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content
of this report.

Notes To The Financial Statements
- 28 February 2010
1.Corporate information
The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and is listed on the
Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities. The registered office of the Company is located at Wisma Atlan, No.
8, Persiaran Kampung Jawa, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Penang.
The ultimate holding company of the Company is Atlan Holdings Bhd. which is incorporated in Malaysia, and
produces financial statements available for public use.
The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are
described in Note 17. There have been no significant changes in the nature of the principal activities during the
financial year.
In the previous period, the year end of the Company was changed from 31 December to 28 February so as to be
coterminous with the year end of its holding company. Accordingly, comparative amounts for the income statement,
statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and the related notes are not entirely comparable.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of
the directors on 17 June 2010.
2.Significant accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements comply with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act, 1965 in
Malaysia.
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have also been prepared on a historical basis,
unless otherwise stated in the accounting policies below.
The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM) and all values are rounded to the nearest
thousand (RM’000) except when otherwise indicated.
2.2 Summary of significant accounting policies
(a)
Subsidiaries and basis of consolidation
i.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the ability to control the financial and operating
policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting
rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the
Group has such power over another entity.
In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost
less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal
proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss.
ii. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and
its subsidiaries as at the balance sheet date. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are
prepared for the same reporting date as the Company.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group
obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. In
preparing the consolidated financial statements, intragroup balances, transactions and unrealised
gains or losses are eliminated in full. Uniform accounting policies are adopted in the consolidated
financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase method
of accounting involves allocating the cost of the acquisition to the fair value of the assets
acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The cost
of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of
the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued, plus any costs
directly attributable to the acquisition.

Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities represents goodwill. Any excess of the
Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities
over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Minority interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by
the Group. It is measured at the minorities’ share of the fair value of the subsidiaries’ identifiable
assets and liabilities at the acquisition date and the minorities’ share of changes in the subsidiaries’
equity since then.
(b)
Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the
cost of business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost
less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but instead, it is reviewed for
impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may be impaired. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying
amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
(c)
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent costs are included
in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost
of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All
other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the period in which they
are incurred.
Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment except for certain freehold land and
buildings are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses.
Certain freehold land and buildings are stated at revalued amount, which is the fair value at the date
of the revaluation less any accumulated impairment losses. Fair value is determined from marketbased evidence by appraisal that is undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. The land and
buildings of the Group have not been revalued since they were first revalued in 1991. The directors
have not adopted the policy of regular revaluations of such assets and no later valuation has been
recorded. As permitted under the transitional provisions of IAS 16 (Revised): Property, Plant and
Equipment, these assets continue to be stated at their 1991 valuation less accumulated depreciation.
Any revaluation surplus is credited to the revaluation reserve included within equity, except to the
extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised in profit or
loss, in which case the increase is recognised in profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously
recognised. A revaluation deficit is first offset against unutilised previously recognised revaluation
surplus in respect of the same asset and the balance is thereafter recognised in profit or loss. Upon
disposal or retirement of an asset, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular asset is transferred
directly to retained earnings.
Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Capital-work-in-progress,
which comprise the refurbishment and renovation of building and land improvements are also not
depreciated as these assets are not available for use. Depreciation of other property, plant and
equipment is provided for on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of each asset to its residual
value over the estimated useful life, at the following annual rates:
Buildings
Golf course
Furniture and fittings
Electrical installations and air conditioner
Plant, office equipment and computer
Crockery, kitchenware, linen and uniform for hotel operations
Motor vehicles

2.2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
(c)
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation (Cont’d)
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. The difference between the net disposal proceeds,
if any and the net carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss and the unutilised portion of the
revaluation surplus on that item is taken directly to retained earnings.
(d)
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental income or for capital
appreciation or for both. Such properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction
costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
A property interest under an operating lease is classified and accounted for as an investment property
on a property-by-property basis when the Group holds it to earn rentals or for capital appreciation
or both. Any such property interest under an operating lease classified as an investment property is
carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the
investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected
from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are
recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
(e)
Land held for property development and property development costs
i.
Land held for property development
Land held for property development consists of land where no development activities have been
carried out or where development activities are not expected to be completed within the normal
operating cycle. Such land is classified within non-current assets and is stated at cost less any
accumulated impairment losses.
Land held for property development is reclassified as property development costs at the point
when development activities have commenced and where it can be demonstrated that the
development activities can be completed within the normal operating cycle.
ii. Property development costs
Property development costs comprise all costs that are directly attributable to development
activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities.
When the financial outcome of a development activity can be reliably estimated, property
development revenue and 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.
Where the financial outcome of a development activity cannot be reliably estimated, 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 properties sold are
recognised as an expense in the year 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, which
is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The excess of revenue recognised in the income statement over billings to purchasers is classified
as accrued billings within trade receivables and the excess of billings to purchasers over revenue
recognised in the income statement is classified as progress billings within trade payables.

(f)
Biological assets
Biological assets comprise oil palm planting expenditure. Expenditure incurred on new planting
and the upkeep of trees to maturity is capitalised under plantation development expenditure, while
replanting expenditure is charged to the income statement in the year in which the expenditure is
incurred. A portion of the direct overheads, which include general and administrative expenses,
is similarly capitalised under biological assets until such time when the plantation attains mature.
Plantation development expenditure is amortised over 10 years. Amortisation commences upon
maturity of the new plantings.
(g)
Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of assets, other than investment property, property development costs,
inventories, deferred tax assets and non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale, are reviewed
at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such
indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated to determine the amount of impairment
loss.
For goodwill, intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, the recoverable amount is estimated
at each balance sheet date or more frequently when indicators of impairment are identified.
For the purpose of impairment testing of these assets, recoverable amount is determined on an
individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of
those from other assets. If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating
unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs to. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected to
benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of
the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and
its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated first to reduce
the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to those units or groups of units and then, to reduce
the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis.
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss in the financial year in which it arises, unless the
asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is accounted for as a
revaluation decrease to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount held in the
asset revaluation reserve for the same asset.
Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. An impairment loss for an
asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used
to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The
carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill is increased to its revised recoverable amount,
provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined
(net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior
years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is recognised in profit or loss,
unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such reversal is treated as a revaluation
increase.
(h)
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost comprises cost of purchase of inventories and is determined using the first-in, first-out method.
The cost of unsold properties comprises cost associated with the acquisition of land, direct costs
and appropriate proportions of common costs.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated
costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Notes To The Financial Statements (Cont’d)
2.Significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
2.2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
(i)
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has become a party to
the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends and 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 recognised directly in equity. Financial instruments are offset
when the Group 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.
i.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand
and at banks, deposit at call and short term highly liquid investments which have an insignificant
risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
ii. Other non-current investments
Non-current investments other than investments in subsidiaries and investment properties are
stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of an investment, the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.
iii. Receivables
Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identified.
An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts as at the
balance sheet date.
iv. Payables
Payables are stated at the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and
services received.
v. Interest bearing loans and borrowings
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received
less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and
borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
vi. Equity instruments
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity
in the period in which they are declared.
The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity,
net of tax. Equity transaction costs comprise only those incremental external costs directly
attributable to the equity transaction which would otherwise have been avoided.
The consideration paid, including attributable transaction costs on repurchased ordinary shares
of the Company that have not been cancelled, are classified as treasury shares and presented as
a deduction from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the sale, re-issuance
or cancellation of treasury shares. When treasury shares are reissued by resale, the difference
between the sales consideration and the carrying amount is recognised in equity.
Preference shares
Preference shares are classified as equity if they are non-redeemable and dividends are
discretionary at the option of the issuer. Preference shares are classified as liability if they are
redeemable on a specific date or at the option of the shareholders and dividends thereon are
recognised in the income statement as interest expense. Preference shares that are compound
instruments are split into liability and equity components. Each component is accounted for
separately.

vii. Derivative financial instruments
(j)
Derivative financial instruments are not recognised in the financial statements.
Leases
i.
Classification
A lease is recognised as a finance lease if it transfers substantially to the Group all the risks and
rewards incidental to ownership. All leases that do not transfer substantially all the risks and
rewards are classified as operating leases.
ii. Finance leases - the Group as lessee
Assets acquired by way of hire purchase or finance leases are stated at an amount equal to the
lower of their fair values and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception
of the leases, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The
corresponding liability is included in the balance sheet as borrowings. In calculating the present
value of the minimum lease payments, the discount factor used is the interest rate implicit in the
lease, when it is practicable to determine; otherwise, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate is
used. Any initial direct costs are also added to the carrying amount of such assets.
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance costs and the reduction of the outstanding
liability. Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total leasing commitments
and the fair value of the assets acquired, are recognised in the profit or loss over the term of the
relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of
the obligations for each accounting period.
Leasehold land is depreciated over the remaining lease period of 8 to 79 years.
iii. Operating leases- the Group as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term
of the relevant lease. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised
as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
iv. Operating leases- the Group as lessor
A nnual Rep o rt 2 0 1 0
42
Assets leased out under operating leases are presented on the balance sheets according to the
nature of the assets. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis
over the term of the relevant lease (Note 2.2(p)(vi)). Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating
and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and
recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(k)
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets,
which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use
or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready
for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific
borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs
eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
(l)
Income tax
Income tax on the profit or loss for the financial year comprises current and deferred tax. Current
tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the financial
year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date.
Notes To The Financial Statements (Cont’d)
2.Significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
2.2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
(l)
Income tax (Cont’d)
Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised
for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and
unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises
from goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a
business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable
profit.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the financial year 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 as income or an expense and included
in the profit or loss for the financial year, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised
directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or when it arises
from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the
resulting goodwill or the amount of any excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the
acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the combination.
(m) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each
balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time
value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision
due to the passage of time is recognised as finance cost.
(n)
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. 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. Short term nonaccumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences
occur.
ii. Defined contribution plans
Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed
contributions into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay
further contributions if any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits
relating to employee services in the current and preceding financial years. Such contributions
are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss as incurred. As required by law, companies in
Malaysia make such contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”).
iii. Share-based compensation
(o)
The Group’s Employee Share Options Scheme (“ESOS”), an equity-settled, share-based
compensation plan, allows the Group’s employees to acquire ordinary shares of the Company.
No compensation cost or obligation is recognised as share options have not been granted to
employees.
Foreign currencies
i.
Functional and presentation currency
The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency
of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”).
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the
Company’s functional currency.

than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currencies
using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date,
monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the
balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not
translated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of
monetary items, are included in profit or loss for the year.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are
included in profit or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of nonmonetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. Exchange
differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in equity.
iii. Foreign operations
The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different
from the presentation currency (RM) of the consolidated financial statements are translated into
RM as follows:
- Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate
prevailing at the balance sheet date;
- Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates
for the year, which approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions; and
- All resulting exchange differences are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve within
equity.
(p)
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following special recognition criteria must also
be met before revenue is recognised:
i.
Sale of properties
Revenue from sale of properties is accounted for by the stage of completion method as described
in Note 2.2(e)(ii).
A nnual Rep o rt 2 0 1 0
ii. Sale of goods and completed development properties

Revenue is recognised net of discounts and upon transfer of significant risks and rewards of
ownership to the buyer. Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are significant
uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible
return of goods.
iii. Revenue from hotel operations
Revenue from rental of hotel rooms, sale of food and beverage and other related income are
recognised on an accrual basis.
iv. Revenue from services
Revenue from services rendered is recognised net of discounts as and when the services are
performed.

The Group and the Company plan to adopt the above pronouncements when they become effective in
the respective financial period. Unless otherwise described below, these pronouncements are expected
to have no significant impact to the financial statements of the Group and the Company upon their initial
application.
(a)
FRS 3: Business Combinations (revised) and FRS 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements (amended)
FRS 3 (revised) introduces a number of changes to the accounting for business combinations
occurring on or after 1 July 2010. These include changes that affect the valuation of non-controlling
interest, the accounting for transaction costs, the initial recognition and subsequent measurement of
a contingent consideration and business combinations achieved in stages. These changes will impact
the amount of goodwill recognised, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs and
future reported results.
FRS 127 (amended) requires that a change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary (without loss of
control) is accounted for as a transaction with owners in their capacity as owners and to be recorded
in equity. Therefore, such transaction will no longer give rise to goodwill, nor will it give rise to a gain
or loss. Furthermore, the amended Standard changes the accounting for losses incurred by the
subsidiary as well as loss of control of a subsidiary.
The changes by FRS 3 (revised) and FRS127 (amended) will be applied prospectively and only affect
future acquisition or loss of control of subsidiaries and transactions with non-controlling interests.
(b)
FRS 8: Operating Segment
FRS 8 replaces FRS 1142004: Segment Reporting and requires a ‘management approach’, under which
segment information is presented on a similar basis to that used for internal reporting purposes. As a
result, the Group’s external segmental reporting will be based on the internal reporting to the “chief
operating decision maker”, who makes decisions on the allocation of resources and assesses the
performance of the reportable segments. As this is a disclosure standard, there will be no impact on
the financial position or results of the Group.
(c)
FRS 101: Presentation of Financial Statements (revised)
The revised FRS 101 separates owner and non-owner changes in equity. Therefore, the consolidated
statement of changes in equity will now include only details of transactions with owners. All nonowner changes in equity are presented as a single line labelled as total comprehensive income. The
Standard also introduces the statement of comprehensive income: presenting all items of income and
expense recognised in the income statement, together with all other items of recognised income and
expense, either in one single statement, or in two linked statements. The Group and the Company will
adopt two linked statements of comprehensive income. In addition, a statement of financial position
is required at the beginning of the earliest comparative period following a change in accounting policy,
the correction of an error or the reclassification of items in the financial statements. This revised FRS
does not have any impact on the financial position and results of the Group and the Company.

FRS 123: Borrowing Costs
This Standard supersedes FRS 1232004: Borrowing Costs that removes the option of expensing
borrowing costs and requires capitalisation of such costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing
costs are recognised as an expense. The Group’s current accounting policy is to expense the
borrowing costs in the period which they are incurred. In accordance with the transitional provisions
of the Standard, the Group will apply the change in accounting policy prospectively for which the
commencement date for capitalisation of borrowing cost on qualifying assets is on or after the
financial period 1 January 2010.

FRS 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, FRS 7: Financial Instruments:
Disclosures and Amendments to FRS 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement,
FRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures
The new Standard on FRS 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement establishes
principles for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to
buy and sell non-financial items. Requirements for presenting information about financial instruments
are in FRS 132: Financial Instruments: Presentation and the requirements for disclosing information
about financial instruments are in FRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures.
(f)
Amendments to FRSs ‘Improvements to FRSs (2009)’
The ‘Improvements to FRSs (2009)’ contains amendments to several FRSs as described below:
i.
FRS 5: Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations: Clarifies that the
disclosures required in respect of non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held
for sale or discontinued operations are only those described by the Standard. The disclosures
requirements from other FRSs only apply if specifically required for such non-current assets
held for sale and disposal group or discontinued operations. Additional disclosures may also
be necessary to comply with the general requirements of FRS101.
ii. FRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Clarifies on the presentation of finance costs whereby
interest income is not a component of finance costs.
iii. FRS 8: Operating Segments: Segment assets and liabilities need only be reported when those
assets and liabilities are included in measures of segment profit or loss that are reviewed or
otherwise regularly used by the ‘chief operating decision maker’.
iv. FRS 101: Presentation of Financial Statements: Assets and Liabilities classified as held for
trading in accordance with FRS139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are
not automatically classified as current in the balance sheet. The amendment further clarifies that
the classification of the liability component of a convertible instrument as current or non-current
is not affected by the terms that could, at the option of the holder, result in settlement of the
liability by the issue of equity instruments.
v. FRS 107: Statement of Cash Flows (formerly known as Cash Flow Statements): Clarifies that
only expenditures that result in a recognised asset in the statement of financial position can be
classified as investing activities in the statement of cash flows.
vi. FRS 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Clarifies that only
implementation guidance that is an integral part of a FRS is mandatory when selecting accounting
policies.
vii. FRS 116: Property, Plant and Equipment: Replacement of the term “net selling price” with “fair
value less costs to sell”. Items of property, plant and equipment held for rental that are routinely
sold in the ordinary course of business after rental, are transferred to inventory when rental
ceases and they are held for sale. This did not result in any reclassification.
viii. FRS 117: Leases: Clarifies on the classification of leases of land and buildings. For those land
element held under operating leases that are required to be reclassified as finance leases, the
Group shall recognise a corresponding asset and liability in the financial statements which will
be applied retrospectively upon initial application. However, in accordance with the transitional
provision, the Group is permitted to reassess lease classification on the basis of the facts and
circumstances existing on the date it adopts the amendments; and recognise the asset and
liability related to a land lease newly classified as a finance lease at their fair values on that
date; any difference between those fair values is recognised in retained earnings. The Group is
currently in the process of assessing the impact of this amendment.

Amendments to FRSs ‘Improvements to FRSs (2009)’ (Cont’d)
ix. FRS 118: Revenue: The amendment provides additional guidance on whether an entity is acting
as a principal or an agent. It also aligns the definition of costs incurred in originating a financial
asset that should be deferred and recognised as an adjustment to the effective interest by
replacing the term ‘direct costs’ with ‘transaction costs’ as defined in FRS 139.
x. FRS 119: Employee Benefits: The amendment revises the definition of ‘past service costs’,
‘return on plan assets’ and ‘short term’ and ‘other long-term’ employee benefits. It clarifies that
the costs of administering the plan may be either recognised in the rate of return on plan assets
or included in the actuarial assumptions used to measure the defined benefit obligation. The
amendment further clarifies that amendment to plans that result in a reduction in benefits related
to future services are curtailments. It also deleted the reference to the recognition of contingent
liabilities to ensure consistency with FRS 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets.
xi. FRS 120: Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosures of Government Assistance: Clarifies
that loans granted in the future with no or low interest rates will not be exempted from the
requirement to impute interest. The difference between the amount received and the discounted
amount is accounted for as government grant. Also, various terminologies used in the Standard
have been revised to be consistent with other FRSs.
xii. FRS 123: Borrowing Costs: The definition of borrowing costs is aligned with FRS 139 by referring
to the use of effective interest rate as a component of borrowing cost.
xiii. FRS 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements: The amendment clarifies that when
a parent entity accounts for a subsidiary at fair value in accordance with FRS 139 in its separate
financial statements, this treatment continues when the subsidiary is subsequently classified as
held for sale.
xiv. FRS 128: Investments in Associates: The amendment clarifies that if an associate is accounted for
at fair value in accordance with FRS 139, only the requirement of FRS 128 to disclose the nature
and extent of any significant restrictions on the ability of the associate to transfer funds to the
investor in the form of cash or repayment of loans applies. It further clarifies that an investment
in an associate is treated as a single asset for the purpose of impairment testing. Therefore,
any impairment loss is not separately allocated to the goodwill included in the investment
balance.
xv. FRS 131: Interests in Joint Ventures: If a joint venture is accounted for at fair value, in accordance
with FRS 139, only the requirements of FRS 131 to disclose the commitments of the venturer
and the joint venture, as well as summary financial information about the assets, liabilities,
income and expense will apply. This amendment has no impact on the Group because it does
not account for its joint ventures at fair value in accordance with FRS 139.

xvi. FRS 134: Interim Financial Reporting: Earnings per share is disclosed in interim financial reports
if an entity is within the scope of FRS 133: Earnings per Share.
48
xvii.FRS 136: Impairment of Assets: Clarifies that when discounted cash flows are used to estimate
‘fair value less cost to sell’ additional disclosure is required about the discount rate, consistent
with disclosures required when the discounted cash flows are used to estimate ‘value in use’.
The amendment further clarifies that the largest cash-generating unit for group of units to which
goodwill should be allocated for purposes of impairment testing is an operating segment as
defined in FRS 8.
xviii.FRS 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement: Changes in circumstances
relating to derivatives are not reclassifications and therefore may be either removed from, or
included in, the ‘fair value through profit or loss’ classification after initial recognition. Removed
the reference in FRS 139 to a ‘segment’ when determining whether an instrument qualifies as a
hedge. Require the use of the revised effective interest rate when remeasuring a debt instrument
on the cessation of fair value hedge accounting. The Group and the Company are exempted
from disclosing the possible impact to the financial statements upon the initial application of
this Standard.

investment property is classified as investment property. Where the fair value model is applied,
such property is measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably determined, the investment
under construction will be measured at cost until such time as fair value can be determined or
construction is complete. The amendment also includes changes in terminology in the Standard
to be consistent with FRS 108.
(g)
Amendments to FRS 1: First-time Adoption of Financial Reporting Standards and FRS 127:
Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements: Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly
Controlled Entity or Associate
The amendment to FRS 1 allows first-time adopters to use costs, determined in accordance with
FRS 127, or deemed cost of either fair value (in accordance with FRS 139) or the carrying amount
under previous accounting practice to measure the initial cost of investments in subsidiaries, jointly
controlled entities and associates in the separate opening FRS balance sheet. In the amendment to
FRS 127, there is no longer a distinction between pre-acquisition and post-acquisition dividends. The
amendment also requires the cost of the investment of a new parent in a group (in a reorganisation
meeting certain criteria) to be measured at the carrying amount of its share of equity as shown in the
separate financial statements of the previous parent. The amendments also remove the definition
of the cost method from FRS 127 and will be applied prospectively that affect only the financial
statements of the Company and do not have an impact on the financial statements of the Group.

IC Interpretation 9: Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives and Amendments to IC Interpretation
9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives
This IC requires that there should be no subsequent reassessment of whether an embedded derivative
should be separated from the host contract after initial recognition, unless there have been changes
to the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that otherwise would be required
under the contract. The amendment to the IC clarifies that on reclassification of a financial asset
out of the ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ category all embedded derivatives within the scope of
this IC and FRS 139 have to be assessed and, if necessary, separately accounted for in the financial
statements. The IC is to be applied retrospectively. The Group is in the process of assessing the
impact of this amendment.
(i)
IC Interpretation 10: Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment
This IC prohibits impairment losses recognised in an interim period on goodwill or investments in
equity instruments or financial assets carried at cost to be reversed at a subsequent balance sheet
date. This Standard will have no impact on the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements.
(j)
FRS 1: First-time Adoption of Financial Reporting Standards
This FRS supersedes FRS 1 (issued in 2005 and amended in May 2009). The Standard sets out the
procedures that an entity must follow when it adopts FRSs for the first time as the basis for preparing
its financial statements. This Standard will have no impact on the Group’s and the Company’s financial
statements.
(k)
Amendments to FRS 5: Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
FRS 5 also applies to non-current assets (or disposal group) that is classified as held for distribution
to owners acting in their capacity as owners (held for distribution to owners). The amendment further
clarifies that all assets and liabilities of a subsidiary shall be classified as held for sale if an entity
has a sale plan involving loss of control of the subsidiary, regardless of whether the entity will retain
non-controlling interest (e.g., an interest in an associate) in its former subsidiary after the sale. This
Amendment will have no impact on the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements.
(l)
Amendments to FRS 138: Intangible Assets
The amendments clarify that an intangible asset must be recognised separately from goodwill even if
it is separable only together with a related contract, identifiable asset, or liability. Also, if an intangible
asset is separable only together with another intangible asset, those assets can be recognised together
as a single asset, and if the individual assets in a group of complementary intangible assets have
similar useful lives, those assets can be recognised together as a single asset. The Group will apply
these amendments prospectively. Therefore, amounts recognised for intangible assets and goodwill
in prior business combinations shall not be adjusted.

IC Interpretation 15: Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate
This Interpretation requires that when the real estate developer is providing construction services
to the buyer’s specifications, revenue can be recorded only as construction progresses. Otherwise,
revenue should be recognised on completion of the relevant real estate unit. The Group is currently
assessing the impact of the adoption of this interpretation.
(o)
IC Interpretation 16: Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation
This Interpretation provides guidance on identifying foreign currency risks and hedging instruments
that qualify for hedge accounting in the hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. It also
explains how an entity should determine the amounts to be reclassified from equity to profit or loss
for both the hedging instrument and the hedged item. The Group is in the process of assessing the
impact of this Interpretation.
(p)
IC Interpretation 17: Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners
This Interpretation clarifies that an entity should measure the non-cash assets distributed to owners at
the fair value of the assets. It also clarifies that the difference between the fair value of the assets and
the carrying amount of the assets distributed is to be taken to income statement. This Interpretation
will be applied prospectively and therefore there will be no impact on prior periods in the financial
statements of the Group and of the Company.

Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments (Amendments to FRS 7)
The Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments reinforces existing principles for disclosures
about liquidity risk. Also, the Amendments require enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements
in which a three-level fair value hierarchy is introduced. An entity is required to classify fair value
measurements using this hierarchy which aims to reflect the inputs used in making the measurement.
These Amendments do not have any impact on the financial position and results of the Group and
of the Company.

2.4 Significant accounting estimates and judgements
50
(a)
Critical judgements made in applying accounting policies
The following are the judgements made by management in the process of applying the Group’s
accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial
statements.
Classification between investment properties and property, plant and equipment
During the financial year, the Group has rented out a warehouse but has decided not to treat this
property as investment properties because it is not the Group’s intention to hold this property on a
long-term basis for capital appreciation or rental income. Accordingly, this property is still classified
as property, plant and equipment.
(b)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumption concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
i.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused 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
the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level
of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. The total carrying value of
unrecognised tax losses and capital allowances of the Group was RM286,767,000 (28.02.2009:
RM317,174,000).

Depreciation of plant and equipment
The furniture and fittings of a subsidiary, Selasih Ekslusif Sdn Bhd costing RM3,829,000 (28.02.2009:
RM4,475,000) during the year are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated
useful lives of 10 years. The Group is confident that Selasih Ekslusif Sdn Bhd will be able to renew the
lease of shop lots for the remaining useful life of its furniture and fittings even though the remaining
lease period of the tenancy agreement is 5 years. There will be an additional depreciation charge of
RM163,000 (28.02.2009: RM163,000) per annum had the assets been depreciated in accordance
with the remaining lease period of 5 years.
A building of a subsidiary, Cergasjaya Sdn Bhd costing RM2,081,000 (28.02.2009: RMNil) during
the year are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives of 10 years.
The Group is confident that Cergasjaya Sdn Bhd will be able to renew the lease of land for the
remaining useful life of its car park and renovation even though the remaining lease period of the
tenancy agreement is within 1 year. There will be an additional depreciation charge of RM2,081,000
(28.02.2009: RMNil) per annum had the assets been depreciated in accordance with the remaining
lease period of 1 year.
iii.
Impairment of goodwill
The Group determines whether goodwill are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an
estimation of the value-in-use of the cash-generating units (“CGU”) to which goodwill are allocated.
Estimating a value-in-use amount requires management 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. In calculating the present value of the cash flows of the property
and hospitality segment, the Group has assumed that it will be able to extend the lease period of
its tenancy agreement indefinitely. The carrying amount of goodwill as at 28 February 2010 was
RM29,870,000 (28.02.2009: RM21,168,000). Further details are disclosed in Note 16.

Prior to the year of assessment 2008, Malaysian companies adopted the full imputation system. In accordance
with the Finance Act 2007 which was gazetted on 28 December 2007, companies shall not be entitled to deduct
tax on dividend paid, credited or distributed to its shareholders, and such dividends will be exempted from
tax in the hands of the shareholders (“single tier system”). However, there is a transitional period of six years,
expiring on 31 December 2013, to allow companies to pay franked dividends to their shareholders under limited
circumstances. Companies also have an irrevocable option to disregard the 108 balance and opt to pay dividends
under the single tier system. The change in the tax legislation also provides for the 108 balance to be locked-in
as at 31 December 2007 in accordance with Section 39 of the Finance Act 2007.
The Company did not elect for the irrevocable option to disregard the 108 balance. Accordingly, during the
transitional period, the Company may utilise the credit in the 108 balance as at 28 February 2010 and 28 February
2009 to distribute cash dividend payments to ordinary shareholdings as defined under the Finance Act 2007. As
at 28 February 2010, the Company has 108 balance of RM33,824,000 (28.02.2009: RM41,559,000).

10.Earnings per share
Basic/Diluted
Basic and diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to
ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the
year/period, excluding treasury shares held by the Company. The weighted average number of ordinary shares
in issue during the year/period has been adjusted for the dilutive effects of all potential ordinary shares from the
conversion of Irredeemable Convertible Preference Shares (“ICPS”).

Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations
The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations using cash flow projections
based on financial forecasts and its key assumptions approved by management covering a 5-year period with
a growth rate of approximately 5%.
Key assumptions and management’s approach to determine the values assigned to each key assumption are
as follows:
(i)
Budgeted gross margin
The basis used to determine the value assigned to the budgeted gross margin is the average gross margin
achieved in the year immediately before the budgeted year increased for expected efficiency improvements.
The budgeted gross margin for trading of duty free goods and non-dutiable merchandise segment are in the
range of 10% to 26% (28.02.2009: 11%) whereas for property and hospitality segment, it is approximately
68% (28.02.2009: 64%).
(ii)
Selling price
The selling price used to calculate the cash inflows from operations was determined after taking into
consideration price trends of the industries which the CGUs are exposed. Values assigned are consistent
with the external sources of information.
(iii)
Discount rate
The discount rate applied to the cash flow projections of 13.2% (28.02.2009: 11.4%) is based on the
weighted average cost of capital of the Group.
Notes To The Financial Statements (Cont’d)
16.Goodwill (Cont’d)
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
With regard to the assessment of value-in-use of all CGUs, management believes that no reasonable change in any
of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the units to materially exceed their recoverable
amounts.

In the previous period, Duty Free People Pty. Ltd., a subsidiary of DFZ Group incorporated in Australia

(a)
Credit risk
i.
The Group’s primary exposure to credit risk arises through its trade receivables. The Group’s trading
terms with its customers are on cash and credit. The Group’s normal trade credit terms range from
30 to 90 days (28.02.2009: 30 to 90 days). Other credit terms are assessed and approved on a
case-by-case basis. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. In view of the
aforementioned and the fact that the Group’s trade receivables relate to a large number of diversified
customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk. Trade receivables are non-interest
bearing.

The following are the material litigations involving the Group:
(i)
Mancon Berhad (“MB”), on behalf of Nilai Barisan Sdn Bhd (“NBSB”), had commenced arbitration
proceedings on 24 May 1999 against Kelana Megah Sdn Bhd (“KMSB”) in relation to NBSB’s engagement
as a sub-contractor nominated by KMSB for the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of airconditioning and mechanical ventilation works in the construction of the Johor Bahru Duty Free Complex.
The sum claimed by MBSB is approximately RM2,468,000. KMSB has counter-claimed that it incurred
loss/ damage in the sum of approximately RM1,909,000 in rectifying defective and/or incomplete works
of NBSB.
KMSB’s solicitors informed the Arbitrator on 21 January 2002 that NBSB had been wound up on 8 August
2000. In view that NBSB had been wound up, parties were not able to resume the arbitration proceedings
and the same is currently in abeyance.
KMSB’s solicitors had issued numerous letters to the Arbitrator to seek the Arbitrator’s instructions on the
arbitration proceedings and/or instructions that the arbitration proceedings be closed. To date, KMSB has
not received any response from the Arbitrator. KMSB’s solicitors had also written to the liquidator of NBSB
to request that the liquidator decides either if NBSB wishes to continue with the arbitration proceedings or
to withdraw the claims against KMSB. To date, KMSB has not received any response from the liquidator.
(ii)
LH Technology Sdn Bhd (“LHT”) had commenced legal proceedings at the High Court on 30 December
1999 against KMSB, claiming a sum of RM1,026,000 in relation to LHT’s engagement as a sub-contractor
for the design, supply and installation of curtain walling, frameless glass panel, shopfront, balustrading,
aluminum and glazing works in the construction of the Johor Bahru Duty Free Complex.
On 26 June 2000, the Senior Assistant Registrar of the High Court allowed LHT’s application for a summary
judgment against KMSB. KMSB appealed to the High Court Judge against the said summary judgment,
and this appeal was allowed. LHT then appealed to the Court of Appeal against the decision of the High
Court Judge.
On 28 July 2008, LHT’s appeal was dismissed with no order as to costs by the Court of Appeal. KMSB’s
solicitor has informed the High Court of the said dismissal of LHT’s appeal, and requested the High Court
to fix a mention date for the suit. To date, the High Court has not fixed any date.

The Company had commenced legal proceedings at the High Court on 30 December 2003 against Eden
Enterprises (M) Berhad (“EEB”) and Zil Enterprise Sdn Bhd (“ZI”), claiming:(i)
from EEB, the sum of RM3,044,000 being unpaid sums due and payable to DFZ and its subsidiaries
arising from various inter-companies debts incurred while EEB and its subsidiaries were subsidiaries
of the Company.
(ii)
from ZIL and EEB, specific relief for their fulfillment of obligations in releasing the corporate guarantee
provided by the Company in the sum of RM13,803,000 which ZIL and EEB had undertaken to do.
On 7 June 2005, the Senior Assistant Registrar of the High Court allowed EEB’s and ZIL’s application to
amend their Statement of Defence and include a counter-claim against the Company. The Company has
appealed to the High Court Judge in Chambers against the said decision of the Senior Assistant Registrar.
The Company’s appeal last came up for mention on 6 November 2008 and has since been vacated to a
date to be fixed by the High Court pending the reconstruction of the High Court’s file on the suit. To date,
the High Court has not fixed any date.
The aforesaid corporate guarantee as provided by the Company had been released by the relevant bank
subsequently. The Company has then filed an application to amend its claim against ZIL and EEB to reflect
the same. The hearing of this application is currently pending the reconstruction of the High Court’s file on
the suit. To date, the High Court has not fixed any date.
(iv)
EEB had commenced legal proceedings at the High Court on 31 January 2004 against DFZ Duty Free
(Langkawi) Sdn Bhd (“DDFL”) and 2 other defendants in respect of an alleged tort of conspiracy on a longterm lease of twenty-eight (28) years entered into between EEB and DDFL for a duty free outlet and staff
living quarters in Langkawi.
EEB had also applied to the High Court via an interlocutory application to compel DDFL to quit, vacate
and deliver up to EEB the said duty free outlet and staff living quarters. EEB’s application was dismissed
by the High Court on 6 December 2005.
EEB then appealed to the Court of Appeal against the said dismissal by the High Court. The Court of
Appeal dismissed EEB’s appeal on 27 May 2009 and further directed that an early date be fixed for trial at
the High Court.
DDFL had filed an application for an interim injunction to restrain EEB and its subsidiary from exercising
self-help to regain vacant possession of the premises and interfering with DDFL’s quiet enjoyment of the
same. DDFL also filed another application subsequently for an interim injunction to restrain EEB and its
subsidiary from prohibiting and qualifying DDFL’s use of lanes around the premises for access to or egress
from the premises. The High Court has fixed the case for trial from 23 to 25 November 2010.
(v)
Adenan, a shareholder of Naluri Corporation Berhad (“NCB”), had commenced legal proceedings at the High
Court on 6 October 2004 against the Company and 9 other respondents, seeking inter alia the following
orders against the Company:-
(i)
that any resolutions passed by the shareholders and/or directors of NCB approving the alleged related
party transactions involving the Company as set out in the Petition be cancelled; and
(ii)
that the Company pays to NCB the monies paid by NCB to the Company and/or the financial
institutions which received monies pursuant to the alleged related party transactions as set out in
the Petition.
Pursuant to the Company’s application to strike out the suit, the High Court had on 17 June 2005 struck
out with costs the suit as against the Company. Adenan has appealed to the Court of Appeal against
the High Court’s striking out of the Petition against the Company. The hearing of the Petitioner’s appeal
against the High Court’s decisions in dismissing the Petitioner’s application for injunction and in allowing
the Company’s application to strike out the suit with costs has been fixed by the Court of Appeal on 21
June 2010.

(vi)
By way of a Re-Amended Defence and Counterclaim dated 30 October 2008, the Company has been made
a party to the legal proceedings commenced by Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad, Danaharta Urus
Sdn Bhd and Danaharta Managers Sdn Bhd (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Danaharta”) against
Tan Sri Dato’ Tajuddin bin Ramli (“TSDTR”) in the High Court.
In addition to seeking from DFZ and 11 other defendants various declarations to void inter alia the Naluri
Scheme (which includes the Capital Repayment and Naluri Acquisitions described in the Counterclaim)
and consequential orders in relation thereto, TSDTR is also seeking from the Company and 26 other
defendants to the Re-Amended Defence and Counterclaim, jointly and/or severally, inter alia the sum of
RM6,246,492,000 (being shares in the 10th defendant to the Re-Amended Defence and Counterclaim at
RM24 per share); general, aggravated and exemplary damages to be assessed; and damages for conspiracy
to be assessed.
Further, TSDTR is also seeking from all defendants to the Re-Amended Defence and Counterclaim, jointly
and severally, inter alia the sum of RM7,214,909,000; damages for conspiracy to be assessed; various
declarations in regards to the invalidity of the vestings made in favour of Danaharta and the acts, deeds and
agreements, transfers, conveyances, dealings executed by Danaharta and the then Special Administrators
of NCB pursuant to the said vestings in favour of Danaharta, including the return and restoration of all
assets and monies transferred or conveyed; damages, including aggravated and exemplary damages to
be assessed; and interest and costs.
The Court had on 12 November 2009 allowed Atlan Holdings Bhd.’s, Atlan Properties Sdn Bhd’s and
NCB’s appeal against the Senior Assistant Registrar’s decision to allow TSDTR’s application to re-amend
the Counterclaim thus the Company is no longer a party in the Counterclaim. The Company had applied
to the High Court to strike out the suit, wherein the Court had on 7 December 2009 allowed the striking
out application. TSDTR had on 4 January 2010 filed an appeal against the decision granting the striking
out application on 7 December 2009.
(vii) On 8 August 1995, Zainal Azman bin Md. Zain (“ZAMZ”), the administrator of the estate of Wan Zainab binti
M.A. Bakar, commenced legal proceedings against the Company and six (6) of its Directors at that point in
time, in the Penang High Court for the alleged: (a) fraudulent and non-payment transfer of 36,666 units of
shares in DFZ (M) Sdn Bhd (“DFZSB”) (formerly known as Syarikat Sriwani (M) Sdn Bhd) to the Company
for the amount of RM37,000 which belonged to his mother, Wan Zainab binti M.A. Bakar; (b) fraudulent and
underpayment of transfer of 5,000 units of shares in DFZSB to the Company which is valued at RM3.50
each totaling RM17,500 which also belonged to his mother, Wan Zainab binti M.A. Bakar; and (c) breach
of trust by failing to give a full and frank disclosure of the said transfers of shares.
ZAMZ has made a claim for the sum of RM13,901,000 being the value of the shares, general, aggravated
and exemplary damages of RM30,000 together with interest and costs.
After the trial, the High Court dismissed the claims of ZAMZ with costs on 31 January 2007. ZAMZ appealed
to the Court of Appeal against the High Court’s dismissal. The appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal
on 2 July 2009.

33.Financial instruments
(a)
Financial risk management objectives and 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 interest rate risks (both fair value and
cash flow), foreign currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for
managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. The Group does not trade in derivative
financial instruments during the year, other than as disclosed in Note 33 (c).
(b)
Interest rate risks
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a
financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. As the Group has no significant
interest-bearing financial assets, the Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent
of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s interest-bearing financial assets are mainly short term in
nature and have been mostly placed in fixed deposits.
The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from interest-bearing borrowings. Borrowings at floating rates
expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to
fair value interest rate risk.
The Group manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining a mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings.
The following tables set out the carrying amounts, the weighted average effective interest rates (“WAEIR”)
as at the balance sheet date and the remaining maturities of the Group’s and the Company’s financial
instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk:

(d)
Liquidity risk
The Group manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to
ensure that refinancing, repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall liquidity management,
the Group maintains sufficient levels of cash or cash convertible investments to meet its working capital
requirements. In addition, the Group strives to maintain available banking facilities at a reasonable level to
its overall debt position. As far as possible, the Group raises committed funding from both capital markets
and financial institutions and balances its portfolio with some short term funding so as to achieve overall
cost effectiveness.
(e)
Credit risk
The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade receivables. The Group trades only with recognised
and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms
are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing
basis. Since the Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties, there is no requirement
for collateral.
The credit risk of the Group’s other financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and
marketable securities, arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the
carrying amount of these financial assets.
The Group does not have any significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty nor does it
have any major concentration of credit risk related to any financial assets.

The methods and assumptions used by management to determine fair values of financial instruments other
than those whose carrying amounts reasonably approximate their fair values are as follows:
i.
Borrowings
Fair value has been determined using discounted estimated cash flows. The discount rates used
are the current market incremental lending rates for similar types of lending, borrowing and leasing
arrangements.
ii.
Forward foreign exchange contracts
The fair value of a forward foreign exchange contract is the amount that would be payable or receivable
on termination of the outstanding position arising and is determined by reference to the difference
between the contracted rate and forward exchange rate as at the balance sheet date applied to a
contract of similar quantum and maturity profile.

34. segment information
88
(a)
Reporting format
The primary segment reporting format is determined to be business segments as the Group’s risks and rates
of return are affected predominantly by differences in the products and services produced. The activities of
the Group are carried out mainly in Malaysia and as such, segmental reporting by geographical locations is
not presented. The operating businesses are organised and managed separately according to the nature of
the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers
different products and serves different markets.
(b)
Business segments
The Group comprises the following main business segments:
(i)
Trading of duty free goods and non-dutiable merchandise;
(ii)
Properties and hospitality.
Other operations of the Group mainly comprise provision of management service, recreation, tours and
travel services, neither of which constitutes a separately reportable segment.
(c)
Allocation basis and transfer pricing
Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that
can be allocated on a reasonable basis.
The directors are of the opinion that transfer prices between business segments are based on negotiated
prices. Segment revenue, expenses and results include transfers between business segments. These
transfers are eliminated on consolidation.
