II. DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION

The Company has adopted the objective as recommended by the Code to determine the remuneration of
the Directors so as to ensure that the Company attracts and retains Directors of the calibre needed to run the
Group efficiently. In the case of the Managing Director and Executive Directors, the components of Directors’
remuneration are structured so as to link rewards to corporate and individual performance. Performance is
measured against profits and other targets set from the Company’s annual budget and plans. In the case of
Non-Executive Directors, the level of remuneration reflects the experience and level of responsibilities undertaken
by the individual Non-Executive Director concerned.

The RC reviews annually the remuneration policy for the Managing Director and Executive Directors to ensure
that they are rewarded appropriately for their contributions to the Group’s growth and profitability.

The fees payable to Non-Executive Directors are determined by the Board with the approval of shareholders
at AGM. All Non-Executive Directors are paid meeting allowances for attending each Board or Committee
Meeting.

III. INVESTOR RELATIONS AND SHAREHOLDERS COMMUNICATION

The Board acknowledges the need for shareholders to be informed of all material business matters affecting the
Company. The Group has a Corporate Affairs Division which provides a platform for two-way communication
between the Company and shareholders and investors. In addition to various announcements made during the

auditors also present to provide their professional and independent view, if required, on issues or concern
highlighted by shareholders. A press conference is normally held after AGM.

managers from time to time as a means of effective investors relationship. In addition, shareholders can obtain
up-to-date information on the Company and the Group’s activities, press releases, corporate announcements and

Statement of Internal Control

RESPONSIBILITY
The Board of Directors recognises the importance of maintaining a sound system of internal control and risk
management practices to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the company’s assets. Therefore, the Board
affirms its overall responsibility for the Group’s approach to assessing risk and the systems of internal control, and
for reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s internal control systems and management information
systems, including compliance with applicable laws, regulations, rules, directives and guidelines. The review covers
financial, operational and compliance controls, and risk management procedures of the Group, except for associates
and joint ventures. However, such procedures are designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to
achieve business objectives and can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material errors,
misstatement, losses or fraud.

The role of executive management is to implement the Board’s policies on risk and control and present assurance
on compliance with these policies. Further independent assurance is provided by an internal audit function, which
operates across the Group, and the external auditors. All employees are accountable for operating within these
policies.

RISK MANAGEMENT
The RMC comprised members of the Exco with the Managing Director as the advisor. Risk management is an ongoing
process for identifying, evaluating, managing and reviewing significant risks faced by the businesses in the Group.
The risk management process involved all business and functional units of the Group in identifying significant risks
impacting the achievement of business objectives of the Group. It also involved the assessment of the impact and
likelihood of such risks and of the effectiveness of controls in place to manage them.

Steps are being taken to embed internal control and risk management further into the operations of the business and
to deal with areas of improvement which come to the management’s and the Board’s attention.

INTERNAL CONTROL
Whilst the Board maintains full control and direction over appropriate strategic, financial, organisational and
compliance issues, it has delegated to executive management the implementation of the systems of internal control.

The main elements in the internal control framework include:

 An organisational structure with formally defined lines of responsibility and delegation of authority;
 Established procedures for planning, capital expenditure, information and reporting systems, and for monitoring
the Group’s businesses and their performances;
 Review by operating divisions of their annual operating budgets with the executive management prior to
submission to the Board for approval;
 Quarterly comparison of operating divisions’ actual financial performance with budget;
 Operating policies and procedures which are subject to review and improvement;
 Regular reporting of accounting and legal developments to Exco and Board;
 Limits of Authority, which provides a framework of authority and accountability within the Group, and which
facilitates timely corporate decision making at the appropriate levels in the Group; and
 Appointment of employees of the necessary caliber to carry out the assigned responsibilities.

The GIA function monitors compliance with policies and standards and the effectiveness of internal controls in the
Group. The work of the internal audit function is focused on areas of priority as identified by risk analysis and in
accordance with an annual audit plan approved each year by AC. The head of this function reports to AC. The AC
receives reports on the function’s work and findings and regular updates on specific issues.

The external auditors are engaged to express an opinion on the financial statements. They review and test the systems
of internal control and the data contained in the financial statements to the extent necessary to express their audit
opinion. Findings arising from the audit are discussed with management and reported to AC.

The Board, through AC, has reviewed the effectiveness of the Group’s system of internal control. Some minor internal
control weaknesses were identified during the period, all of which have been, or are being addressed. None of the
weaknesses have resulted in any material losses, contingencies, or uncertainties that would require disclosure in the
Group’s annual report.

than the fees and other emoluments paid as disclosed in note 7 to the financial statements) by reason of a contract
made by the Company or by a related corporation with the Director or with a firm of which he is a member, or with a
company in which he has a substantial financial interest, except as disclosed in note 36 to the financial statements.

arrangement whose object or objects was to enable the Directors of the Company to acquire benefits by means of the
acquisition of shares in, or debentures of, the Company or any other body corporate.

Statutory information on the financial statements

Before the income statements and balance sheets were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps:

(a) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of
allowance for doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that
adequate allowance had been made for doubtful debts; and

(b) to ensure that any current assets, other than debts, which were unlikely to realise in the ordinary course of
business their values as shown in the accounting records of the Group and Company 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:

(a) which would render the amounts written off for bad debts or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts in
the financial statements of the Group and Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or

(b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and Company
misleading; or

(c) which have arisen which would render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of
the Group and Company misleading or inappropriate.
Annual Report 2007 37

Directors’ report (continued)

Statutory information on the financial statements (continued)

No contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve
months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may affect the ability of the
Group or Company to meet their obligations when they fall due.

At the date of this report, there does not exist:

(a) any charge on the assets of the Group or Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year which
secures the liability of any other person; or

(b) any contingent liability of the Group or Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year.

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or
the financial statements which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.

any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature except as disclosed in the financial statements;
and

(b) except as disclosed in note 41 to the financial statements, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of

Notes to the financial statements


for the financial year ended 31 December 2007

1. General information

The principal activities of the Company during the financial year are those of investment holding and property
development. The principal activities of the Group mainly consist of property development, property investment
and management, hotel operation, construction and investment holding. There have been no significant changes
in the nature of these activities during the financial year.

As at 31 December 2007, all monetary assets and liabilities of the Group and Company are denominated in
Ringgit Malaysia except otherwise stated.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Unless otherwise stated, the following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items
that are considered material in relation to the financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied
to all the financial years presented, unless stated otherwise.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Group and Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions
of the Companies Act, 1965 and MASB Approved Accounting Standards in Malaysia for Entities Other than
Private Entities.

The financial statements of the Group and Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention
except as disclosed in this summary of significant accounting policies.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the MASB Approved Accounting Standards for
Entities Other than Private Entities requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported
period. It also requires Directors to exercise their judgment in the process of applying the Company’s
accounting policies. Although these estimates and judgment are based on the Directors’ best knowledge of
current events and actions, actual results may differ.

The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates
are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 4.

(a) Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are applicable to the Group
and are effective

The new accounting standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing
standards effective for the Group’s financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2007 are as
follows:

• FRS 117 Leases


• FRS 124 Related Party Disclosures

All changes in accounting policies have been made in accordance with the transition provisions in the
respective standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations.

A summary of the impact of the new accounting standard, FRS 117 on the financial statements of the
Group is set out in Note 40.

The adoption of FRS 124 did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group and
Company. Disclosure requirements under the standard have been adopted retrospectively.

(b) Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are
not applicable to the Group but are effective

The new accounting standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are
mandatory for the Group’s financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2007 but not applicable to
the Group’s operations are as follows:

• Amendment to FRS 119 Employee Benefits – Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and
Disclosures (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007). This
amendment introduces the option of an alternative recognition approach for actuarial gains
and losses. It may impose additional recognition requirements for multi-employer plans where
insufficient information is available to apply defined benefit accounting. It also introduces
additional disclosure requirements. FRS 119 is not relevant to the Group’s operation as the
Group does not have any defined benefit plans.

• FRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (effective for accounting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2007). This standard requires limited improvements to existing
accounting practices for exploration and evaluation expenditures. FRS 6 is not relevant to the
Group’s operations as the Group does not carry out exploration for and evaluation of mineral
resources.

• TR i-1 Accounting for Zakat on Business (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after
1 July 2006). This Technical Release prescribes the accounting treatment and presentation for
zakat on business in the financial statements of entities that pay zakat.

• TR i-2 Ijarah (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2006). This Technical
Release provides guidance on the application of MASB approved accounting standards to
transactions and events based on Ijarah.

(c) Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are
applicable to the Group but not yet effective

The new and revised standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are
applicable to the Group, but have not been early adopted, are as follows:

• FRS 112 - Income Taxes (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2007).
This revised standard removes the requirements that prohibit recognition of deferred tax on
unutilised reinvestment allowances or other allowances in excess of capital allowances. The
Group will apply this standard from financial periods beginning on 1 January 2008. The Group
will adopt the tax base method which has no impact to the financial statements of the Group and
Company upon initial application of this revised standard.

• Amendment to FRS 121 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates – Net Investment in
a Foreign Operations (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2007). This
amendment requires exchange differences on monetary items that form part of the net investment
in a foreign operation to be recognised in equity instead of in profit or loss regardless of the
currency in which these items are denominated in. The Group will apply this amendment from
financial periods beginning on 1 January 2008. There is no significant impact to the financial
statements of the Group and Company upon initial application of this revised standard.

economy of its functional currency, when that economy was not hyperinflationary in the prior
period.

• IC Interpretation 8 - Scope of FRS 2 (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July
2007). This interpretation clarifies that FRS 2 Share-based Payment applies even in the absence
of specifically identifiable goods or services.

2.2 Economic entities in the Group

(a) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries made up to the end of the financial year.

Subsidiaries are those corporations, partnerships or other entities (including special purpose entities)
in which the Group has power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to
obtain benefits from their activities, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of
the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or
convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are consolidated using the purchase method of accounting.

Under the purchase method of accounting, subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which
control is transferred to the Group and are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. The cost
of an acquisition is measured as 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 value 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. See accounting
policy Note 2.5 on 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.

Minority interest represent 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.

Where more than one exchange translation is involved, any adjustment to the fair values of the
subsidiary’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities relating to previously held interests
of the Group is accounted for as revaluation.
Annual Report 2007 53

Notes to the financial statements (continued)


for the financial year ended 31 December 2007

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.2 Economic entities in the Group (continued)

(a) Subsidiaries (continued)

Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but considered as an impairment indicator of the
asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary 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.

(b) Transactions with minority interests

The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties
external to the Group. Disposals to minority interests result in gains and losses for the Group that are
recorded in the income statement. Purchases from minority interests result in goodwill, being the
difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of
net assets of the subsidiary.

(c) Jointly controlled entity

Jointly controlled entity is a corporation over which there is a contractually agreed sharing of control
by the Group with one or more parties where the strategic financial and operating decisions relating
to the entity require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The Group’s interest in jointly controlled entity is accounted for in the financial statements by the
equity method of accounting. Equity accounting involves recognizing the Group’s share of the
post-acquisition results of the jointly controlled entity in the income statement and its share of post-
acquisition movements within reserves in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are
adjusted against the cost of investment and include goodwill on acquisition (net of accumulated
impairment loss).

The Group recognizes 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 recognize 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, a loss on the transaction is recognized
immediately if the loss provides evidence of a reduction in the net realizable value of current assets
or an impairment loss. Where necessary, in applying the equity method, adjustments are made to the
financial statements of the jointly controlled entity to ensure consistency of accounting policies within
those of the Group.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its jointly controlled entity are eliminated to
the extent of the Group’s interest in the jointly controlled entity; 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 the jointly controlled
entity to ensure consistency of accounting policies within those of the Group.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.2 Economic entities in the Group (continued)

(d) Associates

Associates are those corporations, partnerships or other entities in which the Group exercises significant
influence, but which it does not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and
50% of the voting rights. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating
policy decisions of the associates but not the power to exercise control over those policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for by using the equity method of accounting and are initially
recognised at cost. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition
(Note 2.5), net of any accumulated impairment loss (Note 2.7).

The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income
statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The
cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate,
including any other unsecured receivables, the Group’s interest is reduced to nil and recognition of
further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive
obligations or made payments on behalf 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.

Dilution gains and losses in associates are recognised in the income statement.

For incremental interest in an associate, the date of acquisition is purchase date at each stage and
goodwill is calculated at each purchase date based on the fair value of assets and liabilities identified.
There is no “step up to fair value” of net assets of previously acquired stake and the share of profits
and equity movements for the previously acquired stake is recorded directly through equity.

2.3 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially stated at cost. Hotel properties (land and buildings) are
subsequently shown at fair value, based on periodic, but at least once every 5 years, valuations by external
independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation and impairment losses. Any accumulated depreciation
at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset, and the net amount is
restated to the revalued amount of the asset. All other 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.

A freehold land of a subsidiary was stated at valuation on 8 August 1996 by the Directors based on
valuations carried out by independent professional valuers on a fair market value basis. The Directors
applied the transitional provisions of International Accounting Standard (‘IAS’) No. 16 (Revised) Property,
Plant and Equipment as adopted by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board which allows these assets
to be stated at their 1996 valuation. Accordingly, these assets have been stated at their existing carrying
amounts less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

2.3 Property, plant and equipment (continued)

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.

Surpluses arising on revaluation are credited to revaluation reserve. Any deficit arising from revaluation is
charged against the revaluation reserve to the extent of a previous surplus held in the revaluation reserve
for the same asset. In all other cases, a decrease in carrying amount is charged to income statement. Each
period, the difference between the depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged
to the income statement and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from ‘revaluation
reserves’ to ‘retained earnings’.

Freehold land is not depreciated as it has an infinite life. Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated
on the straight line basis to write off the cost of the assets, or their revalued amounts, to their residual values
over their estimated useful lives, summarised as follows:

%

• Buildings, including hotel buildings 2


• Plant and machinery 10 – 20
• Motor vehicles 20
• Office furniture, fittings and equipment 12 1/2 – 33 1/3

Depreciation on assets under construction commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet
date. The Group carries out assessment on residual values and useful lives of assets on an annual basis.
There was no adjustment arising from the assessment performed in the financial year.

At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such
indications exist, an analysis is performed to assess whether the carrying amount of the asset is fully
recoverable. A write down is made if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. See accounting
policy Note 2.7 on impairment of assets.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are
included in profit/(loss) from operations. On disposal of revalued assets, amounts in revaluation reserve
relating to those assets are transferred to retained earnings.

2.4 Investment properties

Investment properties, comprising principally land and buildings, are held for long term rental yields or for
capital appreciation or both, and are not substantially occupied by the Group. Plant and equipment that are
attached to the buildings are also classified as investment properties.

Investment properties are stated at cost, including related transaction costs, less any accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Investment properties (continued)

Freehold land is not depreciated as it has an infinite life. Other categories of investment properties are
depreciated on the straight line basis to write off the cost of the assets to their residual values over their
estimated useful lives, summarised as follows:

• Buildings 2
• Plant and machinery 10 – 20

On disposal of an investment property, or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future
economic benefits are expected from its disposal, it shall be derecognised (eliminated from the balance
sheet). The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in profit or
loss in the period of the retirement or disposal.

2.5 Goodwill

Goodwill or reserve on consolidation (formerly known as “negative goodwill”) represents the excess or
deficit of the cost of acquisition of subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates over the fair value
of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries occurring prior to 1 January 2006 is set off against reserve in
the period of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries occurring on or after 1 January 2007
are included in the balance sheet as intangible asset whereas the reserve on consolidation is recognised
immediately in the income statement.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
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.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. 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. See accounting policy Note 2.7 on
impairment of assets.

Goodwill on acquisition of associates occurring on or after 1 January 2006 is included in investments in


associates. Such goodwill is tested for impairment as part of the overall balance.

In accordance to the transitional provisions of FRS 3, the application of the policy is applied
prospectively.

2.6 Investments

Investments in subsidiaries and associates are shown at cost. Where an indication of impairment exists, the
carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount.
See accounting policy Note 2.7 on impairment of assets.

Investments in other non-current investments are 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
investments. 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 period in which the decline is identified.
Annual Report 2007 57

Notes to the financial statements (continued)


for the financial year ended 31 December 2007

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.6 Investments (continued)

Marketable securities (within current assets) are carried at the lower of cost and market value, determined
on an aggregate portfolio basis by category of investment.

Cost is derived at on the weighted average basis. Market value is calculated by reference to stock exchange
quoted selling prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. Increases/decreases in the carrying
amount of marketable securities are credited/charged to the income statement.

On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is
charged/credited to the income statement.

2.7 Impairment of assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for
impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An 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 fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes
of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there is separately identifiable
cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are
reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

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. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. In respect of
other assets, 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.

2.8 Leases

Leases of assets where a significant portion of the risk and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor
are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received
from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on the straight line basis over the lease period.

When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be
made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes
place.

2.9 Prepaid lease assets

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. Prepaid lease payments are carried at cost or
surrogate carrying amount and are amortised on a straight line basis over the lease terms in accordance with
the pattern of benefits provided.

2.10 Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost is determined using the first in, first out method. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress
comprises design costs, raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads
(based on normal operating capacity). The cost of unsold properties comprises cost associated with the
acquisition of land, direct costs and an appropriate proportion of allocated costs attributable to property
development activities.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of
completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

2.11 Construction contracts

A construction contract is a contract specially 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.

Construction contracts are recognised when incurred. When the outcome of a construction contract can be
estimated reliably, contract revenue are recognised by using the stage of completion method. The stage of
completion is measured by reference to the proportion that contract costs incurred for work perform to date
bear to the estimated total costs for the contract. Cost incurred in the year in connection with future activity
on a contract are excluded from contract costs in determining the stage of completion. They are presented
as inventories, prepayments or other assets, depending on their nature.

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.

Irrespective whether the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, when it is probable
that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense
immediately.

The aggregate of the costs incurred and the profit/loss recognised on each contract is compared against the
progress billings up to the financial year end. Where costs incurred and recognised profits (less recognised
losses) exceed progress billings, the balance is shown as amounts due from customers on construction
contracts under trade and other receivables (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 trade and other payables (within current liabilities).

2.12 Property development activities

(a) Land held for property development

Land held for property development consist of land and all cost directly attributable to development
activities on which no significant development work has been undertaken or where development
activities are not expected to be completed within the normal operating cycle. Such land is classified
as non-current asset and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Cost associated with the acquisition of land includes the purchase price of the land, professional
fees, stamp duties, commissions, conversion fees and other relevant levies. Where the Group had
previously recorded the land at revalued amount, it continues to retained this amount as its surrogate
costs as allowed by FRS 201. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the
asset is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. See accounting policy
Note 2.7 on impairment of assets.

Land held for property development is transferred to property development costs (under current assets)
when development activities have commenced and where development activities can be completed
with the Group’s normal operating cycle of 2 to 3 years.

(b) Property development costs

Property development costs comprise costs associated with the acquisition of land and all costs
directly attributable to development activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to these
activities.
Annual Report 2007 59

Notes to the financial statements (continued)


for the financial year ended 31 December 2007

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.12 Property development activities (continued)

(b) Property development costs

When the outcome of the development activity can be estimated reliably, property development
revenue and expenses are recognised by using the stage of completion method. The stage of
completion is measured by reference to the proportion that property development costs incurred bear
to the estimated total costs for property development.

When the 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; property development costs on the development units sold are recognised when
incurred.

Irrespective of whether the outcome of a property development activity can be estimated reliably,
when it is probable that total property development costs (including expected defect liability
expenditure) will exceed total property development revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an
expense immediately.

Property development costs not recognised as an expense is recognised as an asset and is stated at the
lower of cost and net realisable value.

Where revenue recognised in the income statement exceed billings to purchasers, the balance is
shown as accrued billings under trade and other receivables (within current assets). Where billings
to purchasers exceed revenue recognised in the income statement, the balance is shown as progress
billings under trade and other payables (within current liabilities).

2.13 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are carried at invoice amount less allowance for doubtful debts. The allowance is
established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due
according to the original terms of receivables.

2.14 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits held
at call with banks, other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less
and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are included within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance
sheet.

2.15 Share capital

(a) Classification

Ordinary shares and 1% Irredeemable Convertible Preference Shares (‘ICPS 2002/2007’) with
automatic conversion on maturity date are classified as equity.

The Group has taken advantage of the transitional provisions by FRS 132 ‘Financial Instruments:
Disclosures and Presentation’, which allows financial instruments that contain both a liability and an
equity element issued prior to 1 January 2003 to be stated based on a predominant component part.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)


for the financial year ended 31 December 2007

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.15 Share capital (continued)

(b) Share issue costs

External costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown as a deduction, net of tax, in
equity from the proceeds.

(c) Dividends to shareholders of the Company

Dividends on redeemable preference shares are recognised as a liability and recognised on an accrual
basis.

Interim dividends are recognised as liabilities when declared before the balance sheet date. Final
dividends are accounted for when they have been approved by the Company’s shareholders.

(d) Purchase of own shares

Where the Company or its subsidiaries purchases the Company’s equity share capital, the consideration
paid, including any directly attributable incremental external costs, net of tax, is deducted from total
shareholders’ equity as treasury shares until they are cancelled, reissued or disposed off. Where such
shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable
incremental external costs and the related tax effects, is included in shareholders’ equity.

2.16 Borrowings

(a) Classification

Borrowings are initially recognised based on the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred.
In subsequent periods, borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective yield method. Any
difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the
income statement over the period of the borrowings.

(b) Capitalisation of borrowing cost

Borrowing costs incurred to finance the construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalised
as part of the cost of the asset during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare
the asset for its intended use. Borrowing costs incurred to finance property development activities
and construction contracts are accounted for in a similar manner. All other borrowing costs are
expensed.

2.17 Tax

Current tax expense is determined according to the tax laws of each jurisdiction in which the Group
operates and include all taxes based upon the taxable profits, including withholding taxes payable by a
foreign subsidiary and associate on distributions of retained earnings to companies in the Group, and real
property gains tax payable on disposal of properties.

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 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.
Annual Report 2007 61

Notes to the financial statements (continued)


for the financial year ended 31 December 2007

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.17 Tax (continued)

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 tax is recognised on temporary differences on investments in subsidiaries and associates except
where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the
temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and tax law) 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.

2.18 Employee benefits

(a) Short term employee benefits

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

(b) Equity compensation benefits

Details of the Group’s Employees Share Option Scheme are set out in note 12(d) to the financial
statements. The Group does not make a charge to the income statement in connection with share
options granted. When the share options are exercised, the proceeds received, net of any transaction
costs, are credited to share capital and share premium.

(c) Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a
separate entity (a fund) and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions
if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits relating to employee service
in the current and prior periods.

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. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund
or a reduction in the future payments is available.

2.19 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past
events, when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and when
a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

2.20 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

The Group does not recognised a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the
Group or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in the extremely rare cases where
there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably.
62 IGB Corporation Berhad

Notes to the financial statements (continued)


for the financial year ended 31 December 2007

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.20 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets (continued)

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group. The
Group does not recognise contingent assets but discloses its existence where inflows of economic benefits
are probable, but not virtually certain.

In the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group under business combinations, the contingent liabilities
assumed are measured initially at their fair value at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any
minority interest.

2.21 Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and
services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, returns,
rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group.

The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable
that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the
Group’s activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable
until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved. The Group bases its estimates on historical
results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each
arrangement.

Income from property development is recognised on the percentage of completion method based on units
sold, and where the outcome of the development projects can be reliably estimated. Anticipated losses are
provided for in full.

Income from construction contracts is recognised on the percentage of completion method in cases where
the outcome of the contract can be reliably estimated. In all cases, anticipated losses are provided for in
full.

Dividend income is recognised as income when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

Hotel revenue is recognised upon delivery of products and customer acceptance, and performance of
services, net of sales tax and discounts.

Rental income is recognised on accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements
unless collectibility is in doubt in which case the recognition of such income is suspended. Other rent
related and carpark income is recognised upon services being rendered.

Management fees and project management fees are recognised on accrual basis.

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking into account the principal outstanding and
the effective rate over the period to maturity, when it is determined that such income will accrue to the
Group.

2.22 Foreign currencies

(a) Functional and presentation currency

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 Company’s functional and
presentation currency.
Annual Report 2007 63

Notes to the financial statements (continued)


for the financial year ended 31 December 2007

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.22 Foreign currencies (continued)

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using 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 period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.

(c) 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 rates; and
• all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign
operations are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is partially disposed or sold,
exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognised in the income statement as part of
the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets
and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rates.

2.23 Financial instruments

(a) 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 assets 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 enterprise.

A financial liability is any liability that is contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset
to another enterprise, or to exchange financial instruments with another enterprise under conditions
that are potentially unfavourable.

(b) Financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet



The particular recognition method adopted for financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet
is disclosed in the individual accounting policy statements associated with each item.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

2.23 Financial instruments (continued)

(c) Fair value estimation for disclosure purposes

The fair value of publicly traded securities is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date.

In assessing the fair value of non-traded financial instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods
and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date.

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the
current market interest rate for each type of the financial liabilities of the Group.

The face values for financial assets (less any estimated credit adjustments) and financial liabilities with
a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values.

2.24 Segment reporting

Segment reporting is presented for enhanced assessment of the Group’s risks and returns. A business
segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject
to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is
engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that is subject to risks
and returns that are different from those components operating in other economic environments.

Segment revenue, expense, assets and liabilities are those amounts resulting from the operating activities of
a segment that are directly attributable to the segment and the relevant portion that can be allocated on a
reasonable basis to the segment. Segment revenue, expense, assets and segment liabilities are determined
before intragroup balances and intragroup transactions are eliminated as part of the consolidation process,
except to the extent that such intragroup balances and transactions are between group enterprises within a
single segment. Inter-segment pricing is based on similar terms as those available to other third parties.

3. Financial risk management objectives and policies



The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including foreign currency exchange risk, interest
rate risk, market risk, credit risk, liquidity and cash flow risk. The Group’s overall financial risk management
objective is to ensure that the Group creates value for its shareholders. The Group focuses on the unpredictability
of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.
Financial risk management is carried out through risk reviews, internal control systems, insurance programmes
and adherence to Group financial risk management policies. The management regularly reviews these risks and
approves the treasury policies, which covers the management of these risks.

(a) Foreign currency exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to various currencies. Foreign currency transactions
give rise to foreign currency exchange exposure.

The Group maintains a natural hedge, whenever possible, by borrowing in the currency of the country in
which the property or investment is located or by borrowing in currencies that match the future revenue
stream to be generated from its investments. Foreign exchange exposures in transactional currencies other
than functional currencies of the operating entities are kept to an acceptable level.

(b) Interest rate risk

The Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest
rates. Interest rate exposure arises mainly from the Group’s borrowings and deposits. The Group manages
its interest rate exposure by maintaining a prudent mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings.
Annual Report 2007 65

Notes to the financial statements (continued)


for the financial year ended 31 December 2007

3. Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)

(c) Market risk

The Group faces exposure to the risk from changes in debt and equity prices. However, management
regularly reviews these risks and takes proactive measures to mitigate the potential impact of such risks.

(d) Credit risk

Credit risk arises when sales are made on deferred credit terms. The Group controls these risks by the
application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Credit risks are minimised and
monitored by strictly limiting the Group’s associations to business partners with high creditworthiness.
Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis via Group management reporting procedures. 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 instrument.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the Group’s large number of
customers, who are dispersed over a broad spectrum of industries and businesses. The Group’s historical
experience in collection of trade receivables falls within the recorded allowances. Due to these factors,
management believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts allowed for collection losses is inherent
in the Group’s trade receivables.

(e) Liquidity and cash flow risk

The Group actively manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability of funding
so as to ensure that all refinancing, repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall prudent
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
of 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 prudently balances its portfolio with some short
term funding so as to achieve overall cost effectiveness.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the Directors and are based on historical experience
and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.

4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates
will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next financial year are as follows:

(i) Valuation of hotel properties

The fair value of each hotel properties is individually determined once every five years by independent
valuers based on a market value assessment. The valuers have relied on the discounted cash flow
analysis and the comparison method. These methodologies are based upon estimates of future results
and a set of assumptions specific to each property to reflect its income and cash flow profile.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (continued)

(ii) Impairment of assets

The Group determines whether an asset is impaired by evaluating the extent to which the recoverable
amount of an asset is less than its cost. This evaluation is subject to changes such as market performance,
economic and political situation of the country. A variety of methods is used to determine the
recoverable amount, such as valuation report and discounted cash flow. For discounted cash flow,
this involves the use of estimated future results and a set of assumptions to reflect its income and cash
flow. Judgement has been used to determine the discount rate for the cash flow and the future growth
of the business.

(iii) Income taxes

Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are transactions
and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of
business. The Group recognises liabilities for tax based on estimates of assessment of the tax liability
due. When the final tax outcome is different from the amount that were initially recorded, such
differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions, where applicable, in the period in
which such determination is made.

Recognition of deferred tax assets, which principally relate to tax losses, depends on the expectation
of future taxable profit that will be available against which tax losses can be utilised. The outcome of
their actual utilisation may be different.

(iv) Recognition of revenue from property development

The Group recognises property development revenue based on percentage of completion method.
The percentage of completion is measured by reference to the development costs incurred to date to
the estimated total costs for the development project. Significant judgement is required in determining
the stage of completion, the extent of the development cost incurred, the estimated development
revenue and costs, as well as the recoverability of the contracts. In making the judgement, the Group
relied on past experience and work of specialist.

4.2 Critical judgement in applying the accounting policies

In determining and applying accounting policies, judgement is often required in respect of items where the
choice of specific policy could materially affect the reported results and financial position of the Group.
During the financial year, the Group does not have any material matter which required subjective judgement
by the Directors.

10. Earnings per ordinary share

(a) Basic earnings per ordinary share

Basic earnings per ordinary share of the Group is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity
holders of the Company for the financial year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue
during the financial year, excluding ordinary shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares
(note 12(b)) and assuming the ICPS 2002/2007 have been converted into ordinary shares (note 12(c)).

(b) Diluted earnings per ordinary share

In the diluted earnings per ordinary share calculation, a calculation is done in respect of share options to
determine the number of ordinary shares that could have been acquired at market price (determined as the
average annual share price of the Company’s share) based on the monetary value of the conversion rights
attached to share options. This calculation serves to determine the ‘bonus’ element to the ordinary shares
outstanding for the purpose of computing the dilution. No adjustment is made to profit for the financial year
for the share options calculation.

(a) Freehold land

A freehold land of a subsidiary was stated at valuation on 8 August 1996 by the Directors based on
valuations carried out by independent professional valuers on a fair market value basis. The Directors
applied the transitional provisions of International Accounting Standard (‘IAS’) No. 16 (Revised) Property,
Plant and Equipment as adopted by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board which allows these assets
to be stated at their 1996 valuation. Accordingly, these assets have been stated at their existing carrying
amounts less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

During the financial year ended 31 December 2006, a valuation was carried out by an independent
qualified valuer, Elvin Fernandez, a member of the Institute of Surveyors, Malaysia, and a partner with
Khong & Jaafar Sdn Bhd, based on market value. Based on this valuation, the value of the freehold land is
RM18,200,000 as compared to its carrying value of RM26,998,000. The deficit of RM8,798,000 had been
accounted for by reversing previous revaluation surplus of RM8,798,000 for the same asset.

of RM16,133,000. The deficit of RM633,000 has been accounted for by reversing previous revaluation
surplus for the same asset.

Hotel building

(i) An impairment loss of RM7,020,000 (2006: RM7,000,000) is recognised in the income statement
during the financial year in respect of a hotel building in a foreign country, which is impaired. The
amount was derived based on the shortfall between value in use and the net book value of the hotel
building. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the
continuing use of an asset.

(ii) The hotel building of a subsidiary stated at valuation was revalued during the financial year ended 31
December 2006 by an independent qualified valuer, Elvin Fernandez, a member of the Institute of
Surveyors, Malaysia and a partner with Khong & Jaafar Sdn Bhd based on market value.

Base on this valuation, the value of the hotel building was RM50,000,000, as compared to the carrying
value of RM48,295,000. The resultant surplus of RM1,705,000 had been credited to revaluation reserve
and adjusted to the hotel building by eliminating the accumulated depreciation of RM1,263,000.

(iii) A hotel building was revalued on during the financial year ended 31 December 2005 by an independent
qualified valuer, Mr Subramaniam A/L Arumugam, a registered valuer of Colliers, Jordan Lee & Jaafar
Sdn Bhd using the comparison method to reflect the market value of the hotel building. The profits
method was used to counter check the comparison method.

Based on this valuation, the value of the hotel building was RM103,000,000, as compared to its
carrying value of RM32,236,000. The resultant surplus of RM70,764,000 had been credited to
revaluation surplus.

(iv) During the financial year ended 31 December 2005, the Group had written down the carrying
value of a hotel building from RM35,000,000 to RM29,000,000 based on an indicative offer from a
potential buyer. The shortfall of RM6,000,000 had been accounted as impairment loss in the income
statement.

Credit terms of trade receivables of the Group and Company range from payment in advance to 45 days (2006:

The Group’s trade receivables consist of amounts owing by purchasers of property development, office and
commercial building tenants and hotel guests. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the Group’s
diversified business and large number of customers. The Group’s historical experience in collection of trade
receivables falls within the recorded allowances. Due to these factors, management believes that no additional
credit risk beyond amounts allowed for collection losses is inherent in the Group’s trade receivables.

40. Change in Accounting Policy

FRS 117 Leases requires the classification of leasehold land as prepaid lease rental. The adoption of FRS 117
has resulted in a retrospective change in the accounting policy relating to the classification of leasehold land. In
previous financial years, leasehold land held for own use was classified as property, plant and equipment and
was stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Leasehold land held
for own use is now classified as operating lease and where necessary, the upfront payments made are allocated
between land and building elements in proportion to the relative fair value for leasehold interest in the land
element and building element.

The upfront payments represent prepaid lease payments and are amortized on a straight line basis over the lease
term. As allowed by the transitional provisions of FRS 117 upon its adoption, the unamortized revalued amount
of leasehold land is retained as the surrogate carrying amount of prepaid lease payments. The reclassification
of leasehold land as prepaid lease payment has been accounted for retrospectively and the comparative figures
have been restated accordingly.

The following balance sheet comparative figures of the Group have been restated due to adoption of FRS117:

As previously Effect of adoption


stated of FRS 117 As restated
RM’000 RM’000 RM’000

Property, plant and equipment 1,269,331 (118,385) 1,150,946



Long term prepaid lease 0 118,385 118,385

41. Significant post balance sheet event

MiCasa Hotel Apartments, owned by TTD Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, temporarily ceased
its hotel operations on 1 January 2008 for the purpose of undergoing an extensive upgrading and refurbishment
exercise for a period of approximately eighteen (18) months.

Report of the auditors


to the members of IGB Corporation Berhad for the financial year ended 31 December 2007

We have audited the financial statements set out on pages 38 to 107. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s Directors. It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on these
financial statements and to report our opinion to you, as a body, in accordance with Section 174 of the Companies
Act, 1965 and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this
report.

We conducted our audit in accordance with approved auditing standards in Malaysia. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion:

(a) the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and
the MASB Approved Accounting Standards in Malaysia for Entities Other Than Private Entities so as to give a true
and fair view of:

(i) the matters required by Section 169 of the Companies Act, 1965 to be dealt with in the financial statements;
and

(ii) the state of affairs of the Group and Company as at 31 December 2007 and of the results and cash flows of
the Group and Company for the financial year ended on that date;
and

(b) the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by the
subsidiaries of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of
the Act.

The names of the subsidiaries of which we have not acted as auditors are indicated in note 42 to the financial
statements. We have considered the financial statements of these subsidiaries and the auditors’ reports thereon.

We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the Company’s
financial statements 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.

The auditors’ reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification and did not
include any comment made under subsection (3) of Section 174 of the Act.
