Over the course of 2007, the reach of the Group extended well into territories such as Asset Management, Personal Financing, Offshore Investment Banking and Trustee Operations and Property Management, making us a fullfledged financial services company.” Amanah Raya Berhad Amanah Raya Berhad Chairman Annual Report 2007 Dato’ Idrus Harun “More “Another year went by, and the company, which has been in existence since May 1921 under the name of the Department of Public Trustee and Official Administrator, is wiser by 12 months than what it was a year ago. ” Amanah Raya Berhad took shape in 1995 following the corporatisation of the Department. It was the only route for the Department to take then as it needed to be financially strong and efficient. With more than 86 years of experience in the business of trust, legacy management and wills services, the decision to be corporatised by the government has resulted in the success of the company. The idea and objectives of corporatisation are to ensure the efficiency in operations and the profitability of the company. To date, the two objectives had been made possible for the company. Dato’ Haji Dusuki Ahmad Chairman In December 2003, Dato’ Haji Dusuki was appointed Chairman of Amanah Raya Berhad. Among his portfolios were Member of the Syariah Advisory Council at Amanah Raya Berhad and the Syariah Advisory Council at Amanah Raya Unit Trust Management Sdn Bhd, the latter an appointment by the Securities Commission. In his illustrious career, he was, among others: Member of Parliament 1982-1990 Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Regional & Land Development 1984-1986 Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Information 1986-1990 Political Secretary to the Prime Minister 2000-2003 Chairman and Director of Yayasan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia 1975-1982 Director of Kuala Lumpur office of the Muslim World League 1998-2003 Member, Board of Directors of NSTP Group 1992-1996 Advisor to Berita Publishing Sdn Bhd 1992-1996 He graduated in 1966 with a Master in Arts in Syariah from the Al-Azhar University, Cairo. Which route did the Group take to reach this destination? More than a year ago, we put in motion a business diversification strategy to enable the Group to transcend the bread and butter activities of Estate Administration, Trust Operations and Wills Services. Over the course of 2007, the reach of the Group extended well into territories such as Asset Management, Personal Financing, Offshore Investment Banking and Trustee Operations, and Property Management, making us a full-fledged financial services company. Under the Amanah Raya Berhad’s Trust Management and Estate Administration, the turnaround time of files has reflected the efficiency of the company. In recent years, commercial property development and management across the region has been on the upswing, and prudent investors have jumped on the bandwagon with Real Estate Investment Trust. In Malaysia, REIT has begun to prove itself on Bursa Malaysia and AmanahRaya has launched the AmanahRaya Real Estate Investment Trust with 13 properties. What made the Group capable of this performance? Instead of resting on our laurels, the Group revitalised critical areas with added zest to improve the performance. There was a better presence of branches, a stronger approach to marketing, a greater efficiency in information technology, a closer cohesiveness in employee coordination, and, by living and working with a closer adherence to our code of ethics and integrity, the Group managed to consolidate these strengths to power the way to a spectacular all-round performance in 2007. 14 Annual Report 2007 The achievements of 2006 have made 2007 a challenging year for the Group. This is reflected in the Group’s performance for the fiscal year. Group revenue increased to RM263.3 million, a 140% jump over the RM109.9 milllion it achieved in 2006. In tandem, Profit Before Tax was RM128.3 million, a 212% increase over the RM41.2 million registered in 2006. AmanahRaya Unit Trust Management Sdn Bhd launched its fourth unit trust fund in late 2007. Known as the AmanahRaya Islamic Cash Management Fund, it has a fund size of 200 million units. Amanah Raya Berhad Today, the public trustee company has more than 16 units under its wing involved in a wider scope of business interests including capital markets, legacy management, trust management and property management. Our footprint in the arena of Corporate Trusteeship, Custodial Services and Nominee Services has evolved into a solid foothold. In Corporate Trusteeship, we now have a 62% market share, being the trustee for major unit trust in the country. The result of powerful strategic partnerships we developed with marketing-oriented banks and corporations, has brought about a hefty increase in businesses for the Legacy Management division. Deploying a similar strategy, AmanahRaya Investment Bank Ltd developed a win-win link-up with numerous prudent investors to generate lucrative fee-based financial activities from corporate deals and structured products in the capital market. With the financial achievement of the Group, AmanahRaya was able to put emphasis on its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects. Where will the Group head to in 2008? The standards we put in place will guide the Group to be focused on the direction for the future. An internationally-recognised Quality Management System (ISO) accreditation exercise has been slated for early 2008 and this is subsequent to the First Internal Quality Audit (IQA) and the Second Internal Quality Audit (IQA) that were completed in the last two quarters of 2007. This standard will be the light that will brighten the path for all the activities of the Group, in going for an even stronger performance in the coming year. Concurrent with the ISO accreditation exercise, the SIRIM recertification audit for Amanah Raya Berhad will take place to add another level of credibility. Each subsidiary and the Group have lined up encouraging plans to propel the activities and the services to greater heights, and to exemplify the spirit of Corporate Social Responsibility even further. Gratitude As Chairman, I would like to record my gratitude to the Board of Directors of the Group and subsidiaries, the management and the staff of the Group who have worked tirelessly to exceed the expectations and goals in 2007. Their attentiveness to the Philosophy, the Mission and the Vision of the Group is shown in the performance of the Group. My fellow members in the Board of Directors have always been supportive of each other in providing positive feedback and single-minded directions for the betterment of the Group. For Tuan Haji Ab Gani Haron who resigned from the Board in Dec 2007, we would like to thank him for all his contributions and efforts. To Dato’ Abdullah Sani Bin Ab Hamid, Dato Mohd Bakke Bin Salleh and Tuan Haji Shafii Bin Hamat who were appointed in the year 2007, we would like to extend a very warm welcome. Allow me to also extend my appreciation to the Ministers In-Charge of Estate and Trust, the Minister of Finance and the Federal Lands Commissioner, our shareholders, our clients, our business partners, our financial institutions partners and all regulatory bodies for the support received and, on behalf of the Board of Directors, I look forward to their continued support in 2008.

In addition, AmanahRaya is the trustee for 35 bonds. One of the Group’s units that will be the crucial vehicle in achieving this is AmanahRaya Investment Bank Ltd (ARIB) Labuan, which has already become a substantial earnings churner for the Group.

The debut of ARIB opens up more opportunities for the Group to expand its business and introduce more innovative financial products and services. Venturing into strategic partnerships for Legacy Management with banks and corporations, the strong cooperative approach in securing business led to a sizable increase in business for the division, covering both Muslim and non-Muslim wills. ARIB offers both offshore investment banking - corporate finance and advisory services - as well as private banking such as fund management services. From only 15,191 cases in January 2007, total wills registered as at 31 Dec 2007 was 29,166 cases, a 92% increase due to contributions from strategic partnerships with various banks and established companies.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (b) (d) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 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 Company 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 financial period in which they are incurred. Subsidiaries (continued) Under the purchase method of accounting, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included from the date of acquisition up to the date of disposal.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. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired at the date of acquisition is reflected as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement. All material transactions, balances and unrealised gains between group companies are eliminated and the consolidated financial statements reflect external transactions only. Where necessary, accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary is the difference between net disposal proceeds and the Group’s share of its net assets as of the date of disposal including the cumulative amount of any exchange differences that relate to the subsidiary is recognised in the consolidated income statement. (c) Jointly controlled entities Jointly controlled entities are corporations, partnerships or other entities over which there is contractually agreed sharing of control by the Group with one or more parties. The Group’s interest in jointly controlled entities is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by the equity method of accounting. 117 Equity accounting involves recognising the Group’s share of the post acquisition results of jointly controlled entities in the income statement and its share of post acquisition movements within reserves. The cumulative post acquisition movements are adjusted against the cost of the investment and includes goodwill on acquisition (net of accumulated amortisation). The Group recognises the portion of gains or losses on the sale of assets by the Group to the joint venture that is attributable to the other venturers. The Group does not recognise its share of profits or losses from the joint venture that result from the purchase of assets by the Group from the joint venture until it resells the assets to an independent party. However, if a loss on the transaction provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets or an impairment loss, the loss is recognised immediately. Where necessary, in applying the equity method, adjustments have been made to the financial statements of jointly controlled entities to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group. Residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date. Depreciation on assets under construction commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statements whenever the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment exceeds its recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are included in profit/(loss) from operations. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the period in which they are incurred. The cost of major renovations is included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. (e) Other investments Investment in golf club membership is shown at cost and an allowance for diminution in value is made where, in the opinion of the Directors, there is a decline other than temporary in the value of such investment. Where there has been a decline other than temporary in the value of an investment, such a decline is recognised as an expense in the financial period in which the decline is identified. 118 Annual Report 2007 Annual Report 2007 Minority interest represents that portion of the profit or loss and net assets of a subsidiary attributable to equity interests that are not owned, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, by the parent. 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 that date. 50 years 3 years 5 years 5 to 10 years 3 years or over the lease period whichever is shorter Amanah Raya Berhad Amanah Raya Berhad Building Computer equipment Motor vehicles Office equipment, furniture and fittings Renovations Company No. 344986 V 344986 V AMANAH RAYA BERHAD (Incorporated in Malaysia) AMANAH RAYA BERHAD (Incorporated in Malaysia) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2007 (CONTINUED) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2007 (CONTINUED) 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (f) Investments (i) Receivables The investments are carried at lower of cost and market value. Market value is calculated by reference to quoted selling prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. Increase/decrease in the carrying amounts of investments are credited/charged to the income statement. Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Known bad debts are written off in the period in which they are identified and specific allowance is made for any considered to be doubtful of collection. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the financial year end. The carrying value of fixed income securities are valued at cost adjusted for amortisation of premium or accretion of discount over their par values at the time of acquisition on an effective yield method. The premium or discount is amortised or accreted over the remaining term of the securities from the date of acquisition. (j) Income taxes Current tax expense is determined according to the tax laws of each jurisdiction in which the Group operates and includes all taxes based upon the taxable profits. (g) Construction contracts A construction contract is a contract specifically negotiated for the construction of an asset or a combination of assets that are closely interrelated or interdependent in terms of their design, technology and functions or their ultimate purpose or use. Deferred tax is recognised in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the amounts attributed to assets and liabilities for tax purposes and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs are recognised by using the stage of completion method. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the proportion that contract cost incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total costs for the contract. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses can be utilised. Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising on investment in subsidiaries except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that is probable will be recoverable; contract costs are recognised when incurred. Irrespective whether the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, when it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled. (k) Cash and cash equivalents The aggregate of the costs incurred and the profit/loss recognised on each contract is compared against the progress billings up to the period end. Where cost incurred and recognised profits (less recognised losses) exceed progress billings, the balance is shown as amounts due from customers on construction contracts under receivables, deposits and prepayments (within current assets). Where progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognised profits (less recognised losses), the balance is shown as amounts due to customers on construction contracts under payables (within current liabilities). For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and bank balances, demand deposits, bank overdraft and short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Annual Report 2007 119 (h) Non-current asset held for sale Non-current asset held for sale Non-current asset is classified as asset held for sale and stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if its carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather then through continuing use. (l) Hire purchase payables Assets purchased under hire purchase agreements are capitalised as property, plant and equipment and depreciated in accordance with the policy set out in Note 3(d) above. The corresponding obligations due under the hire purchase agreements after deducting finance charges are included as hire purchase payables while finance charges are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the term of the respective hire purchase agreements. 120 Annual Report 2007 Amanah Raya Berhad Amanah Raya Berhad Company No. Company No. Company No. 344986 V 344986 V AMANAH RAYA BERHAD (Incorporated in Malaysia) AMANAH RAYA BERHAD (Incorporated in Malaysia) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2007 (CONTINUED) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 31 DECEMBER 2007 (CONTINUED) 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (m) Impairment of assets (n) Property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets (except for amounts due from subsidiaries, associates and deferred tax assets) are reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances (for depreciable non-current assets) indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value in use. 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. Intangible assets (i) (o) Goodwill (continued) Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (‘CGU’) for the purpose of impairment testing. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment testing is performed annually and it is done by comparing the present value of the CGU’s projected cash flows against the carrying amount of its net assets which include the allocated goodwill.The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The Group and the Company allocates goodwill to each business units (Note 18). (ii) Other intangible assets Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, or are not yet ready for use, are tested for impairment annually. This impairment test may be performed at any time during the year, provided it is performed at the same time every year. An intangible asset recognised during the current period is tested before the end of the current year. Financial instruments (i) Description A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one enterprise and a financial liability or equity instrument of another enterprise. A financial asset is any asset that is cash, a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another enterprise, a contractual right to exchange financial instruments with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially favourable, or an equity instrument of another enterprise. Goodwill Goodwill arises on business combinations when the cost of acquisition exceeds the fair value of the Company’s share of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. 122 A financial liability is any liability that is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another enterprise, or the exchange of financial instruments with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially unfavourable. (ii) Financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet The particular recognition adopted for financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet is disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item. Annual Report 2007 Annual Report 2007 121 (n) The impairment loss is charged to the income statement unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is charged to the revaluation surplus. Any subsequent increase in recoverable amount is recognised in the income statement unless it reverses an impairment loss on a revalued asset in which case it is taken to revaluation surplus. (i) Amanah Raya Berhad Amanah Raya Berhad For the purposes of assessing impairment, the recoverable amount is determined on an identified asset basis or on the cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs to. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less cost to sell or its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax weighted average cost of capital. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (o) (q) Financial instruments (continued) (iii) Fair value estimation for disclosure purposes (i) Functional and presentation currency The fair values, less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of more than one year are estimated using a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted value of future cash flows, are used where possible, to determine the fair value for the remaining financial instruments. In particular, the fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the future cash flows at the current market interest rate available to the Group for similar financial instruments. Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency. (ii) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement. Employee benefits Short term employee benefits Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the financial year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. (ii) Defined contribution plans The Group’s contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment obligations. (iii) Defined benefit plans The liability in respect of a defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date minus the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for actuarial gains/losses and past service cost. The Group determines the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of any plan assets with sufficient regularity such that the amounts recognised in the financial statements do not differ materially from the amounts that would be determined at the balance sheet date. The defined benefit obligation, calculated using the projected unit credit method, is determined by independent actuaries, considering the estimated future cash outflows using market yields at balance sheet date of government securities which have currency and terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability. (iii) Group companies The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. • • (r) Leases Leasehold land 124 Leasehold land that normally has an indefinite economic life and title is not expected to pass to the lessee by the end of the lease term is treated as an operating lease. The payment made on entering into or acquiring a leasehold land is accounted as prepaid lease payments that are amortised over the lease term in accordance with the pattern of benefits provided. The Group had previously classified a lease of land as finance lease and had recognised the amount of prepaid lease payments as leasehold land within its property, plant and equipment. In accordance with the transition provisions of FRS 117 – ‘Leases’, the Group has now treated such a lease as an operating lease, with the unamortised carrying amount classified as prepaid lease payments and the effect of this change is applied retrospectively. Annual Report 2007 (i) 123 Annual Report 2007 The face values of financial assets (less any estimated credit adjustments) and financial liabilities with a maturity period of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values.

Arrangement income is derived from arranging the financing required for certain projects and is receivable upon entering a contract unless it is subject to a specific condition in the contract that may stipulate otherwise. Dividends from quoted investments are recognised on the ex-dividend date. Realised gain and loss on sale of quoted investments is arrived at after accounting for cost of investments, determined on the weighted average cost method. Realised gain and loss on sale of fixed income securities is measured by the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the investments. (t) Dividends Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when proposed or declared before the balance sheet date. A dividend proposed or declared after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are authorised for issue, is not recognised as a liability at the balance sheet date. 4.

The recoverable amount of ARJMF is determined based on the value-in-use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on the 2007 financial budgets approved by management, projected for 5 years. The cash flow projection after the fifth year are extrapolated into perpetuity using a nominal longterm growth rate of 2.75% per annum which takes into consideration the current GDP and inflation. The discount rate used is 2.75% which reflects the specific risks relating to the ARJMF. Based on this analysis, no impairment needs to be recognised.
