On behalf of the Board of Directors of SBC Corporation Berhad, I have the pleasure of presenting to you the Annual Report and the Audited Financial Statements of the Group and the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2006.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Group revenue improved 5% to RM69.93 million compared with RM66.87 million a year ago with the operational profits similar to the previous year’s level; RM6.43 million against RM6.71 million recorded for the last financial year. Consolidated post tax profit result was however lower by RM1.20 million, primarily on account of associates’ lower performance at RM0.27 million.

OPERATION REVIEW

The building and residential market experienced a comparatively higher degree of volatility compared to the previous year, on account of inflationary pressures. The Group’s strategy of maintaining (project) locational diversity did provide a buttress, resulting in an even performance for the year. Meanwhile SBC shall continue to use its building technology and market knowledge, to rollout more designs and products that are continuously desired by the market place.

The group handed over double storey terraces at both Suria Pendamar, Klang and Seri Mahkota Aman, Kuantan and on its way to complete Signal Hill’s semi detached park homes in Kota Kinabalu. Meanwhile works were on schedule for Ministry of Finance, Sabah’s new Land and Survey headquarters, The Cube@Metropolitan Park commercial units in Kuala Lumpur and the fourth phase of Bandar Utama, Ligamas in north of Selangor. During the year, the Group’s activities were located at “Seri Mahkota Aman” in East Coast of Malaysia, “Signal Hill” in Kota Kinabalu, “Bandar Utama Batang Kali” in north of Selangor and “Metropolitan Park” park edge mixed development in north Kuala Lumpur.

Looking ahead, two new projects will be added into the current list, worth RM250 million, consisting of a 34-storey office tower in Petaling Jaya, Selangor and a multi-use transit complex in Serdang, Selangor, both of which were signed during the year and now awaiting planning approval. During the year, our overseas unit, secured an industrial building system (IBS) contract with the Thailand government for a RM96 million “Eua Arthorn” program in Bangkok city.

Paling Industries Sdn Bhd, our manufacturing associate, operating under a series of price increases of its raw material, oil-based PVC resins, reported a low result. Export earnings as a percentage of turnover however continued to improve, rising to 30%, primarily to its principal markets of Australia, Hong Kong, Pakistan, Ghana and England.

ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK

In the short term, we expect operating conditions to continue challenging our project management and building design skills to deliver the best possible building solution to our consumers and partners alike. The Group remain upbeat about the longer term prospects, where both within Malaysia as well as regionally, SBC is well positioned to take advantage of improving living standards and demographics favorable towards better infrastructure.

DIVIDEND

The Board has recommended the payment of a first and final dividend of 1% per ordinary share less 28% tax for the financial year ended 31 March 2006 subject to the shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company.

APPRECIATION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank our valued shareholders, business partners, bankers and government for their continued support.

I would also like to add our appreciation to our customers and supporters of SBC’s products and services, all of whom have place much trust with us, as custodian to their home and property investments.

Bagi pihak Lembaga Pengarah, saya dengan bangganya membentangkan Laporan Tahunan berserta Penyata Kewangan Kumpulan dan Syarikat bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Mac 2006.

ULASAN KEWANGAN

Perolehan Kumpulan telah mencapai RM69.93 juta dengan peningkatan sebanyak 5% berbanding dengan RM66.87 juta pada tahun lepas, manakala keuntungan operasi berada di tahap yang sama iaitu RM6.43 juta berbanding RM6.71 juta bagi tahun kewangan lepas. Bagaimanapun, keuntungan Kumpulan selepas cukai telah merosot sebanyak RM1.20 juta, khususnya berpunca daripada pencapaian yang rendah oleh rakan niaga pada RM0.27 juta.

ULASAN OPERASI

Pasaran pembangunan dan perumahan mengalami kadar pertukaran yang agak tinggi berbanding tahun lepas berpunca daripada asakan dan tekanan inflasi. Bagaimanapun, strategi Kumpulan dalam memperluas dan mempelbagaikan lokasi projek telah menyeimbangkan pencapaian prestasi tahun ini. Di samping itu, SBC akan terus menggunakan kemahiran teknologi pembinaan dan ilmu pengetahuan pasaran untuk menghasilkan lebih banyak rekabentuk baru dan produk yang baik untuk memenuhi permintaan pasaran yang selanjutnya.

Kumpulan telah menyiapserahkan rumah berteres dua tingkat di Suria Pendamar, Kelang dan Seri Mahkota Aman, Kuantan, dan dalam usahanya untuk menyempurnakan projek pembinaan rumah kembar bertaman Signall Hill di Kota Kinabalu. Sementara itu, kerja-kerja pembinaan ibu pejabat baru Tanah dan Ukur di Sabah untuk Kementerian Kewangan, unit-unit komersial di The Cube@Metropolitan Park di Kuala Lumpur dan projek fasa keempat Bandar Utama, Ligamas, di utara Selangor sedang berjalan dengan lancar dalam jangkamasa yang ditetapkan. Dalam tahun kewangan ini, aktiviti-aktiviti Kumpulan telah tertumpu di “Seri Mahkota Aman” di bahagian pantai timur Malaysia, “Signal Hill” di Kota Kinabalu, “Bandar Utama Batang Kali” di bahagian utara negeri Selangor dan “Taman Metropolitan” di utara Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur.

Menuju ke hadapan, Kumpulan akan melaksanakan dua projek baru bernilai RM250 juta yang melibatkan pembinaan bangunan pejabat setinggi 34 tingkat di Bandaraya Petaling Jaya dan juga sebuah kompleks transit pelbagaigunaan di Serdang, Selangor. Cadangan pembinaan kedua-dua projek ini telah diperakui dalam tahun kewangan ini dan kini hanya menunggu pengesahan perancangan. Dalam tahun kewangan ini juga, unit pelaburan luar negeri kami telah berjaya mendapatkan kontrak daripada kerajaan Thailand bagi projek pembinaan program “Eua Arthorn” di Bandaraya Bangkok dengan penggunaan sistem IBS. Projek ini bernilai sebanyak RM96 juta.

Syarikat perkilangan bersekutu kami, Paling Industries Sdn Bhd, telah menunjukkan prestasi yang rendah berpunca daripada asakan kenaikan harga bahan-bahan mentah dan damar PVC beralas minyak. Bagaimanapun, pendapatan daripada aktiviti ekspot telah berjaya menunjukkan pencapaian yang semakin baik dengan kenaikan sebanyak 30%, khususnya berpunca daripada pasaran utamanya di Australia, Hong Kong, Pakistan, Ghana dan England.

ULASAN EKONOMI DAN PERNIAGAAN

Dalam masa yang singkat, kami berharap keadaan operasi akan terus memberi cabaran yang positif terhadap pengurusan projek dan skil rekabentuk pembinaan dalam usaha menghasilkan prestasi yang terbaik dalam aspek penyelesaian pembangunan kepada para pelanggan dan rakan bersekutu. Keupayaan SBC sebagai operator yang kukuh dan stabil dalam sektor pembinaan dari segi peningkatan taraf hidup dan demografi memberi peluang yang cerah terhadap pembangunan infrastruktur.

DIVIDEN

Lembaga Pengarah dengan sukacitanya mencadangkan pembayaran dividen pertama dan akhir sebanyak 1% sesaham tolak cukai 28% untuk tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Mac 2006. Pembayaran dividen ini akan diumumkan tertakluk kepada persetujuan para pemegang saham pada Mesyuarat Agung Tahunan akan datang.

PENGHARGAAN DAN PENGAKUAN

Bagi pihak Lembaga Pengarah, saya ingin mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada para pemegang saham, rakan-rakan perkongsian dan perniagaan, ahli-ahli bank dan pihak kerajaan atas sokongan mereka yang berterusan.

Saya juga ingin merakamkan rasa penghargaan kami terhadap para pelanggan dan penyokong SBC yang selama ini telah memberikan kepercayaan yang ikhlas dan sepenuhnya kepada Kumpulan dalam aspek pelaburan hartanah dan perumahan.

Akhirnya, saya ingin berterima kasih kepada pihak pengurusan dan kakitangan Kumpulan ini yang telah menyumbangkan usaha dan sokongan yang tidak ternilai di sepanjang tahun ini.

Sekian, terima kasih.

INTRODUCTION

This Statement on Internal Control is made pursuant to paragraph 15.27 (b) of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Listing Requirements. The Board of Directors (“the Board”) of SBC Corporation Berhad is pleased to present below the Group’s Statement on Internal Control for the financial year ended 31 March 2006, prepared in accordance with the Statement on Internal Control: Guidance for Directors of Public Listed Companies.

BOARD RESPONSIBILITY

The Board affirms its responsibility in maintaining a sound system of internal controls to safeguard shareholders’ investments and the Group assets. A sound system of internal control is designed to identify and manage risks facing the Group in pursuit of its business objectives. However, due to inherent limitations to any systems of internal control, such a system can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatements or losses.

The Audit Committee has been delegated, in accordance with its terms of reference, for reviewing the adequacy and the integrity of the company internal control systems and management information systems, including compliance with applicable laws, regulations, rules, directives and guidelines.

RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

Risk management is seen as an integral part of the Group’s business operations by the Board. The Group has in place an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks faced by the Group, throughout the financial year under review. Senior management will assess and appraise the cost and benefits, impact on the Group, review the financial implications before any investment or significant expenditure is made.

This ongoing process is undertaken for all the major subsidiaries of the Group and the processes, findings, and actions taken by the Management are all reviewed regularly by the Board.

INTERNAL CONTROL

As the Board has entrusted the Audit Committee with the responsibility of reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the internal control system, the Audit Committee assesses the adequacy and integrity of the system of internal control through independent reviews on reports received from management, external auditors and the outsourced internal audit function.

As part of the process, the external auditors provide assurance in the form of their annual statutory audit of the Group’s financial statements. Areas of improvement identified by external auditors during the course of the statutory audit are brought to the attention of the Audit Committee through management letters or are articulated at Audit Committee meetings.

The Group’s internal audit function was outsourced to external consultant in the third quarter of 2005. During the financial year under review, the internal audit function conducted internal audit visits on certain key business activities in accordance with the internal audit plan approved by the Audit Committee for the purposes of assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control systems within these business entities. The results of the audits and recommendations for improvement co-developed with Management were presented at the quarterly Audit Committee Meeting.

OTHER KEY FEATURES OF INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM

The Group has put in place the following key elements of internal control:

• Organizational Structure

An organization structure with clearly defined delegation of responsibilities to the Board Committees, the Management and operating units of the Group. The clearly defined authority limits have been established for all aspects of the businesses and are subject to periodic review for their continued relevance.

• Financial Performance Review

Annual financial and operational forecast are prepared by the Management and approved by the Executive Directors. The monitoring of actual performance against budgeted is performed on a timely basis. When significant variances are identified, further investigation will be performed and follow-up management actions will be taken where necessary.

• Operational Review

Project coordination and management meetings were conducted on a periodical basis. Relevant progress and performance reports are presented to the Executive Directors for review and discussion. The matters that are discussed are as follows:

- Feedback on the progress of development projects undertaken by the individual subsidiary and highlights on the shortcomings or problems together with proposed corrective actions;

- Progress on billings, collections and loan documentation processes; and

- Financing and cash flow performance.

In addition, Senior Management staff attend site meetings on a periodic basis as part of their close monitoring of status of the individual projects.

CONCLUSION

Based on the assessment of internal controls within the Group, the Board is pleased to disclose that the Group’s internal control systems are adequate and there were no internal control weaknesses which have resulted in any material losses that would require separate disclosure in the Annual Report. However, the Board will ensure that the internal control system of the Group will continuously be improved to meet the changing and challenging business and operating environments.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Company is a public company limited by shares and is incorporated under the Malaysian Companies Act, 1965. The domicile of the Company is Malaysia. The registered office, which is also the principal place of business, is at Wisma Siah Brothers, 74A, Jalan Pahang, 53000 Kuala Lumpur.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the directors dated 20 July 2006.

2. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The Company is principally engaged in the businesses of investment holding and the provision of management and administrative services to the subsidiaries. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements. There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the financial year.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES

The Group’s financial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the development of the Group’s business whilst managing its foreign currency, interest rate, market, credit, liquidity and cash flow risks. The policies in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are as follows:

(a) Foreign Currency Risk

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk on investments and bank balances that are denominated in foreign currencies.

The Group’s foreign currency transactions and balances are substantially denominated in Thai Baht.

The Group does not seek to hedge this exposure as the Group is of the opinion that the fluctuations of the Thai Baht do not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

(b) Interest Rate Risk

The Group obtains financing through bank borrowings and hire purchase facilities. Its policy is to obtain the most favourable interest rates available.

Surplus funds are placed with licensed financial institutions at the most favourable interest rates.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONT'D)

(c) Market Risk

The Group’s principal exposure to market risks arises mainly from changes in quoted equity prices. The Group does not use derivative instruments to manage equity risk.

(d) Credit Risk

The Group’s exposure to credit risks, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, arises mainly from receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risks is represented by the total carrying amount of these financial assets in the balance sheet reduced by the effects of any netting arrangements with counterparties.

The Group does not have any major concentration of credit risk related to any individual customer or counterparty.

The Group manages its exposure to credit risk by the application of credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures on an ongoing basis.

(e) Liquidity and Cash Flow Risk

The Group’s exposure to liquidity and cashflow risks arises mainly from general funding and business activities.

It practises prudent liquidity risk management by maintaining sufficient cash balances and the availability of funding through certain committed credit facilities.

4. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and modified to include other bases of valuation as disclosed in other sections under significant accounting policies, and in compliance with applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965.

The MASB standards nomenclature has been changed to Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”) nomenclature for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. This change to the new nomenclature did not result in any significant change in the accounting policies adopted by the Group and has no financial effects on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2006.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries made up to 31 March 2006.

A subsidiary is defined as an enterprise in which the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

All subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of are included from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the subsidiaries’ net assets are determined and these values are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions are eliminated; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group.

(b) Goodwill or Negative Goodwill On Consolidation

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the Group’s share of the fair values of the separable net assets of subsidiaries at the date of acquisition. Negative goodwill represents the excess of the Group’s share of the fair values of the separable net assets of subsidiaries at the date of acquisition over the fair value of the purchase consideration.

Goodwill is stated net of negative goodwill. The net carrying amount of goodwill is reviewed annually, and is written down for impairment where it is considered necessary. The impairment value of goodwill is taken to the consolidated income statement.

60 | SBC CORPORATION BERHAD |

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

(c) Associates

Associates are enterprises in which the Group exercises significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the associates but not control over those policies. Interest in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by the equity method of accounting.

Equity accounting involves recognising in the income statement the Group’s share of the results of the associates for the period. The Group’s interest in associates is carried in the balance sheet at an amount that reflects its share of the assets of the associates and includes goodwill on acquisition. At the date of acquisition, the fair values of the associates’ net assets are determined and these values are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Equity accounting is discontinued when the carrying amount of the interest in an associate reaches zero, unless the Group has incurred obligations or guaranteed obligations in respect of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence on impairment of the asset transferred.

Where necessary, in applying the equity method, adjustments are made to the financial statements of associates to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group.

(d) Investment in Joint Venture

A joint venture represents a business arrangement formed under contract with a third party to undertake specific projects.

The investment in the joint venture is accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method whereby assets, liabilities and the income statement of the joint venture are consolidated in the Group’s financial statements in the proportion to the Group’s interest in the venture.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

(e) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Freehold land is stated at cost and is not depreciated.

The long term leasehold land has an unexpired term of more than fifty years and is not amortised. The non-amortisation of the long term leasehold land has no material effect on the financial statements.

Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method to write off the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:

Plant and machinery, construction machinery and equipment, formwork, scaffoldings and containers 5% - 25%

Office renovation, office equipment, computers, furniture and fittings, tools and sales office 5% - 20%

Motor vehicles 20%

(f) Land and Hotel Development Expenditure

Land is stated at cost or revalued amount less impairment losses, if any. Development expenditure comprises construction and other related development costs and administrative overheads relating to the property development. Interest costs on borrowings taken to finance the relevant development projects are included in the development expenditure from commencement to the completion of the development projects.

(g) Impairment of Assets

The carrying amounts of assets, other than those to which FRS 136 - Impairment of Assets does not apply, are reviewed at each balance sheet date for impairment when there is an indication that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. An impairment loss is charged to the income statement immediately unless the asset is carried at its revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of a previously recognised revaluation surplus for the same asset.

In respect of assets other than goodwill, and when there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the income statement immediately, unless the asset is carried at its revalued amount. A reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited directly to the revaluation surplus. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognised as an expense in the income statement, a reversal of that impairment loss is recognised as income in the income statement.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

(h) Investments The investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are initially stated at cost in the balance sheet of the Company, and are reviewed for impairment at the end of the financial year if events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable.

(i) Investment Properties Investment properties consist of investments in land and buildings that are not substantially occupied for use by, or in the operations, of the Company/Group. Investment properties are treated as long term investments. They are initially stated at cost and are subject to revaluations which are carried out by an independent valuer on a regular basis. Any revaluation increase is recognised in equity as a revaluation surplus; any decrease is first offset against any unutilised previously recognised revaluation surplus in respect of the same investment property, and the balance is thereafter recognised as an expense. A revaluation increase is recognised as income to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same property previously recognised as an expense. On the disposal of an investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged to the income statement; any amount in revaluation reserve relating to that investment property is transferred to retained earnings.

(j) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The unsold completed properties are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. For finished goods and work-in-progress, cost includes direct labour and appropriate production overheads. The cost of unsold completed properties comprises the relevant cost of land, development expenditure and related interest cost incurred during the development period. In arriving at net realisable value, due allowance is made for all damaged, obsolete and slow-moving items.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

(k) Property Development Costs Property development costs comprise costs associated with the acquisition of land and all costs that are directly attributable to development activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities. Property development costs that are not recognised as an expense are recognised as an asset and carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. When the financial outcome of a development activity can be reliably estimated, the amount of property revenues and expenses recognised in the income statement are determined by reference to the stage of completion of development activity at the balance sheet date. When the financial outcome of a development activity cannot be reliably estimated, the property development revenue is recognised only to the extent of property development costs incurred that will be recoverable. The property development costs on the development units sold are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Where it is probable that property development costs will exceed property development revenue, any expected loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement immediately, including costs to be incurred over the defects liability period.

(l) Progress Billings/Accrued Billings

In respect of progress billings:

(i) where revenue recognised in the income statement exceeds the billings to purchasers, the balance is shown as accrued billings under current assets; and

(ii) where billings to purchasers exceed the revenue recognised to the income statement, the balance is shown as progress billings under current liabilities.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

(m) Amount Owing By/To Contract Customers The amount owing by/to contract customers is stated at cost plus profits attributable to contracts in progress less progress billings and allowance for foreseeable losses, if any. Cost includes direct materials, labour and applicable overheads.

(n) Receivables Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. Bad debts are written off in the period in which they are identified. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the balance sheet date.

(o) Payables Payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received.

(p) Interest-bearing Borrowings Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of development properties and property, plant and equipment are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to the income statement as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

(q) Bonds Bonds issued by the Company and the Group are initially recognised based on proceeds received, net of issuance expenses incurred and are adjusted in subsequent years for amortisation of premium and/or accretion of discount to maturity, using the effective yield method. The premium amortised and/or discount accreted is recognised in the income statement over the period of the bonds.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

(r) Taxation Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred taxation is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences other than those that arise from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged or credited directly in equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or negative goodwill. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilised.

(s) Foreign Currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into Ringgit Malaysia at the approximate rates of exchange ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the rates ruling as of that date. All exchange differences are taken to the income statement. The financial statements of the foreign joint venture are translated into Ringgit Malaysia using the closing rate for the balance sheet whilst the average rate is used for the translation of the income statement for consolidation purposes. All exchange differences arising from the retranslation are taken directly to equity as a movement in the foreign exchange fluctuation reserve. On the disposal of the foreign joint venture, such translation differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)

(t) Assets under Hire Purchase Equipment acquired under hire purchase are capitalised in the financial statements and are depreciated in accordance with the policy set out in Note 5(e) above. Each hire purchase payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. Finance charges are allocated to the income statement over the periods of the respective hire purchase agreements.

(u) Equity Instruments Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when declared before the balance sheet date. A dividend proposed or declared after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are authorised for issue, is not recognised as a liability at the balance sheet date but as an appropriation from retained earnings and treated as a separate component of equity. Upon the approval of the proposed dividend, it will be accounted for as a liability.

(v) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand deposits, deposits pledged with financial institutions, bank overdrafts and short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(w) Financial Instruments Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group and the Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as a liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Group and the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial instruments recognised in the balance sheet are disclosed in the individual policy statement associated with each item.

(x) Employee Benefits (i) Short-term Benefits

Wages, salaries, paid annual leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group.

(ii) Defined Contribution Plans

The Group’s contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further liability in respect of the defined contribution plans.

(y) Income Recognition

(i) Construction Contracts

Revenue on contracts is recognised on the percentage of completion method unless the outcome of the contract cannot be reliably determined, in which case revenue on contracts is only recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that are recoverable. Foreseeable losses, if any, are provided for in full as and when it can be reasonably ascertained that the contract will result in a loss.

The stage of completion is determined based on surveys of work performed.

(ii) Property Development

Revenue from property development is recognised from the sale of completed and uncompleted development properties. Revenue from the sale of completed properties is recognised when the sale is contracted. Revenue on uncompleted properties contracted for sale is recognised based on the stage of completion method unless the outcome of the development cannot be reliably determined in which case the revenue on the development is only recognised to the extent of development costs incurred that are recoverable. The stage of completion is determined based on the proportion that the development costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total development costs.

(iii) Revenue from Sales of Goods

Sales are recognised upon delivery of goods and customers’ acceptance, and where applicable, net of returns and trade discounts.

(iv) Revenue from Services

Revenue is recognised upon rendering of services and when the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably. In the event the outcome of the transaction could not be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised to the extent of the expenses incurred that are recoverable.

(v) Management Fee and Administrative Charges

Management fee and administrative charges are recognised on an accrual basis.

(vi) Rental Income

Rental income is recognised on an accrual basis.

(vii) Dividend Income

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

(viii) Interest Income

Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis, based on the effective yield on the investment.

Interest income on late payment is recognised on a receipt basis.

(z) Segmental Information

Segment revenues and expenses are those directly attributable to the segments and include any joint revenue and expenses where a reasonable basis of allocation exists. Segment assets include all assets used by a segment and consist principally of property, plant and equipment (net of accumulated depreciation, where applicable), other investments, inventories, receivables, and cash and bank balances.

Most segment assets can be directly attributed to the segments on a reasonable basis. Segment assets and liabilities do not include income tax assets and liabilities respectively.

Segment revenues, expenses and results include transfers between segments. The prices charged on intersegment transactions are based on normal commercial terms. These transfers are eliminated on consolidation.

48. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Fair value is defined as the amount at which the financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

(i) Bank balances and other liquid funds and short term receivables

The carrying amounts approximated their fair values due to the relatively short term maturity of these instruments.

(ii) Quoted and unquoted investments

The fair values of quoted investments are estimated based on quoted market prices for these investments.

For unquoted investments, it is not practicable to determine the fair values because of the lack of quoted market prices and the assumptions used in valuation models to value these investments cannot be reasonably determined.

48. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONT'D)

(iii) Short term borrowings and other current liabilities

The carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of the short period to maturity of these instruments.

(iv) Long term bank loans

The carrying amounts approximated their fair values as these instruments bear interest at variable rates.

(v) Hire purchase obligations

The fair value of hire purchase obligations is determined by discounting the relevant cash flow using current interest rates for similar instruments at the balance sheet date.

There is no disclosure of fair value for investments in subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and borrowings under the basis of Islamic banking principles as these are excluded from FRS 132 - Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation.
