Annual Report 2009 9
Chairman’s Statement
Dear Shareholders,
FINANCIAL RESULTS
For the year under review, the Group registered revenue of RM642.4 million, down 7% from RM688.2 million in 2008. Pre-tax profit at RM221.5 million was
6% up from RM208.4 million for the same period last year. Revenue contribution by the operating divisions was Property Investment and Management,
RM391.6 million; Hotel, RM155.2 million; Property Development, RM85.6 million; and Investment, RM10.1 million.
DIVIDEND
An interim dividend of 5% less tax for financial year ended 31 December 2009 was paid on 15 April 2010.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
2009 has been a challenging year both for the industry and the Group as a result of economic downturn. Considering the 2009 economic landscape, I am
very happy to report that all operating divisions performed commendably. For Property Development, Laman Sierramas West was sold-out on its re-launch
while the Garden Manor, comprising 41 units of three and four-storey villas, received a similar reception at its exclusive previews.
Despite a sluggish retail outlook, Mid Valley Megamall’s (‘Megamall’) 10th year of operation continued to chalk up growing visitor numbers. The ongoing
introduction of many new brands also reinforced its popularity as a lifestyle destination for locals and tourists alike.
The Megamall became the only centre in Asia to receive a Gold Award, for Visual Merchandising, at the International Council of Shopping Centers’
38th annual MAXI Awards while at home, it took the Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival Awards 2009 and the Malaysia Year End Sale Awards 2009 for Best
Promotions and Events (Central Business District). Over at The Gardens Mall, strong branding campaigns and partner/tenant promotions, and the launch
of The Gardens Club, a loyalty programme, saw a 30% increase in visitor numbers and tenants’ sales receipts from the previous year.
It was a busy year for the Hotel division as The Gardens Hotel and the Cititel Express Kota Kinabalu realised full operation and The Gardens Residences
and 5-star MiCasa All-Suite Hotel, partial opening. Cititel Mid Valley garnered honours in the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia’s 2008/09 Tourism Awards
for the best 3-star hotel in Malaysia. On schedule for completion and opening in the new financial year is St Giles Makati in Manila, the Philippines while
project mobilisation for St Giles Hotel and Cititel Express Penang is poised to commence in mid 2010.
A strong recurring income portfolio and near-100% tenanted properties under its management saw Property Investment & Management turn in revenues
in excess of RM90 million. The designation of The Gardens North and South Towers as a MSC Malaysia Cybercentre bodes well for attracting more ICT
companies to consider locating their operation in a central and vibrant multi-faceted development that is conducive for work, residence and recreation.
PROSPECTS
We anticipate activities in some divisions to continue picking-up in the near term. The Mid Valley City Phase 3, which had been put on hold in 2009,
has been re-planned as a commercial development and is set to proceed once all the relevant approvals are obtained. We also remain confident the
continual implementation of well-conceptualised and strategically planned A&P programmes will bring increased footfall and patronage to the Megamall
and The Gardens Mall. The coming on-stream of several hotel properties this year (2010) will see our overall rooms inventory increase to 5,900 with 4,400
under our management. At the same time, we will cautiously pursue opportunities to invest in hotel ventures in other Southeast Asian countries and in
Australia.
THANKS & APPRECIATION
Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Khalid Ahmad bin Sulaiman is due to retire this year and will not be offering himself for re-appointment. Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Khalid Ahmad
has been a member of the IGB Board of Directors since 18 June 1982. On behalf of the Board, I wish to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to
Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Khalid Ahmad, for his invaluable contribution and services to the Group and we wish him all the best on his retirement.
10 IGB Corporation Berhad
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
On behalf of the Board, I wish to express our thanks and appreciation to the management and staff for their dedication and commitment in the performance
of their duties during the year, to the relevant authorities for their continuing cooperation and assistance and to our shareholders, investors and business
partners for their support and contributions to the Group’s achievements. I wish also to record my thanks to my fellow Directors for their advice and
support.
Dear Shareholders,
Financial year ended 31 December 2009 saw Group revenue and pre-tax profit at
RM642.4 million and RM221.5 million, down 7% and up 6% respectively from the
previous year’s RM688.2 million and RM208.4 million.
Property Development
The division’s contribution to Group turnover was RM85.6 million or 52% lower than the previous year. Segment results before finance costs and tax were
significantly higher at RM33.3 million. This is mainly attributable to provisions for impairment of certain properties during the previous year but which were
not required in the current financial year.
During the year in review, Laman Sierramas West was successfully re-launched with all 47 tropical courtyard terraces and two semi-detached homes
sold. Equally well-received during its first exclusive preview days was the Garden Manor’s 41 units of three and four-storey gated and guarded strata
villas. Following the handing over of U-Thant Residences, the 77-unit low-rise development has established itself as the preferred address amongst the
diplomatic community in the Ampang U-Thant neighbourhood.
IGB was again honoured in The Edge’s Top Ten Property Developers Awards 2009, the seventh consecutive year the Group’s achievements in the
industry have been acknowledged.
RETAIL
KrisAssets Holdings Berhad registered a 56.5% increase in consolidated pre-tax profit of RM180.6 million on the back of a 5.2% growth in turnover of
RM227.9 million.
In its 10th year, Mid Valley Megamall remained a popular lifestyle destination for shoppers and tourists recording over 30 million visitors. Arriving via the
Mid Valley KTM Komuter station was approximately 4.1 million commuters; up an astounding 86% from 2.2 million in the previous year, while traffic for the
complimentary shuttle services grew 16% to 580,000 commuters. Occupancy was 100% with 156 tenancies renewed and 41 new tenants secured. The
latter included Charles & Keith, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts & Coffee, Pumpkin Patch, Swarovski and Tissot as well as local brands opening their first outlet
in Malaysia such as CHALA-moda Espanola, Fabulous Tan, Ice Dress me, Just Curtain, Logitech, SILKYGIRL and The Spaghetti Farm. A major facelift
for the Megamall’s North Court’s First Floor was also completed, adding eight new outlets and a new access that links Northpoint and the Megamall.
In addition, the Megamall received recognition for its versatile marketing and merchandising concepts with the receipt of the 2009 MAXI Gold Award
for Visual Merchandising for its Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2008 promotion themed ‘Cherish the Good Old Days in a Brand New Way’ at the 38th annual MAXI
Awards organised by the International Council of Shopping Centers, Inc. (ICSC), the global trade association for the shopping centre industry, to recognise
excellence in shopping centre marketing. On the home front, the Megamall won two awards for Best Promotions and Events (Central Business District
Category) - the Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival Awards 2009 and the Malaysia Year End Sales Awards 2009 for its Christmas presentation.
The Gardens Mall also managed to weather the challenging economic conditions and H1N1 outbreak. Visitor numbers and tenants’ sales figures increased
by almost 30% from 2008, supported by strong branding campaigns and the introduction of a loyalty programme, The Gardens Club, which has garnered
the mall a strong customer base among the middle to upper income segment. The tenancy mix continued to strengthen with the entry of new brands
such as Austin Chase Coffee, Culti, Delectable by Su, Ying Ker Lou and Zouk Café Bar. Exciting A&P campaigns to celebrate the different festivals
and activities such as Fashion Week, Sports Week and IT Fair promotions proved to be crowd-pullers with average spend per customer growing by
approximately 30% during these occasions. The Gardens Mall’s partnership with HSBC Bank also proved successful in broadening the profile of shoppers
with promotions to encourage HSBC cardholders to visit the mall for exclusive offers.
HOTEL
Despite the challenging year, the Hotel division turned in a satisfactory performance due to proactive operational and marketing plans implemented during
the year. The Gardens Hotel is now operating with a full inventory of 448 rooms whilst The Gardens Residences has opened 151 one and two-bedroom
suites. The remaining 28 suites are expected to be completed by end 2010. For the 275-room Cititel Express Kota Kinabalu, 150 rooms were available
when it opened on August 18, 2009, officiated by the Chief Minister of Sabah, Datuk Seri Musa Aman. The remaining 95 rooms came on stream in
December 2009. On December 9, the 5-star MiCasa All-Suite Hotel in Kuala Lumpur reopened after a 20-month renovation programme. Of the total 242
units, 167 are available for occupancy whilst the balance were completed in early March 2010. The 512-room St Giles Makati in Manila, the Philippines,
is slated to soft-open in mid-2010 and be fully operational by September. Meanwhile, the St Giles Hotel/Cititel Express Penang received its development
order from the local council in November 2009. Project mobilisation is scheduled to start in mid 2010. Last but not the least, the Cititel Mid Valley was the
proud recipient of the best 3-star hotel in Malaysia in the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia’s 2008/2009 Tourism Awards.
12 IGB Corporation Berhad
CONCLUSION
I would like to thank the management and staff for their unceasing loyalty and hard work during the year. The Board acknowledges your efforts and look
forward to continuing teamwork to see the Group through what is expected to be another challenging year.
To my fellow Board members, I thank you for your continued guidance and support.
ROBERT TAN CHUNG MENG
Managing Director
Annual Report 2009 13
The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (‘Code’) sets out principles and best practices on structures and processes that companies may use in
their operations towards achieving the optimal governance framework.
The Board of Directors (‘Board’) of IGB is supportive of the adoption of the principles and best practices as enshrined in the Code throughout the Group.
It is recognised that high standards of corporate governance are imperative to safeguard the interests of all stakeholders and to enhance shareholders’
value.
The Board is pleased to report to shareholders on the manner the Group has applied the principles, and the extent of compliance with the best practices of
good governance as set out in the Code pursuant to Paragraph 15.25 of Bursa Securities Main Market Listing Requirements (‘MMLR’). These principles
and best practices have been applied throughout the financial year ended 31 December 2009 (‘FY2009’).
I. BOARD
The Board has the overall responsibility for corporate governance, strategic direction, formulation of policies and overseeing the investment
and business of the Company. An indication of the Board’s commitment is reflected in the conduct of regular Board meetings and the
incorporation of various processes and systems as well as the establishment of relevant Board Committees which also meet regularly.
The Board, led by an Independent Non-Executive Chairman, has 11 members, comprising 8 Non-Executive Directors (‘NEDs’) and 3
Executive Directors (‘EDs’), with 4 of the 8 NEDs being Independent Directors. Together, the Directors with their wide experience in both the
public and private sectors and diverse academic backgrounds provide a collective range of skills, expertise and experience which is vital for
the successful direction of the Group. A brief description of the background of each Director is presented in the Profile of Directors.
The roles of the Chairman and the Managing Director (‘MD’) are distinct and separate to ensure a balance of power and authority. The
Chairman is responsible for ensuring Board effectiveness and conduct, whilst the MD has overall responsibility for the day-to-day management
of the Group and together with the EDs ensure that strategies, policies and matters approved by the Board and/or the Executive Committee
(‘Exco’) are effectively implemented. The presence of Independent Directors fulfils a pivotal role in corporate accountability. Essentially,
Independent Directors provide independent and constructive views in ensuring that the strategies proposed by the management are fully
studied and deliberated in the interest of the Group and the stakeholders.
Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Khalid Ahmad bin Sulaiman is the Senior Independent NED to whom concerns relating to the affairs of the Group may be
conveyed.
The Board meets at least 4 times a year, with special meetings convened as warranted by specific circumstances. During FY2009, 4 Board
meetings were held and all Directors have complied with the requirements in respect of board meeting attendance as provided in the Articles
of Association (‘Articles’). The attendance record of each Director was as follows:
to be deliberated. In most instances, senior management of the Company as well as external advisers are invited to be in attendance at
Board meetings to provide insight and to furnish clarification on issues that may be raised by the Board. In the event of potential conflict of
interest, the Director in such a position will make a declaration in the meeting. The Director concerned will then abstain from any decision-
making process in which he or she has interest in. A record of the Board’s deliberations of the issues discussed and conclusions reached in
discharging its duties and responsibilities is captured in the minutes of each meeting.
The Directors are also notified of any corporate announcement released to Bursa Securities and the impending restriction in dealing with the
securities of the Company prior to the announcement of the financial results or corporate proposals. The Directors are also kept informed of
the various requirements and updates issued by regulatory authorities.
Directors have access to all information and records of the Company and also the advice and services of senior management and Company
Secretary in furtherance of their duties. They are also permitted to seek independent professional advice on any matter connected with the
discharge of their responsibilities as they may deem necessary and appropriate.
The Board has entrusted specific responsibilities to several Board Committees, which operate within clearly defined terms of reference.
At each Board meeting, the minutes of the Board Committees are presented to the Board for information. The respective Committees’
chairmen will also report to the Board on the key issues deliberated by the Board Committees at its meeting. The composition of the Board

that included corporate governance, relevant industry updates and global business developments, namely Key Corporate Governance
Developments, Board Dynamics & Board Improvement Programme, The Global Economy in the Aftermath of the Financial Crisis, Latest
Risk Faced by Audit Committee, Pricing Excellence and Updates on Malaysian Securities Law and Capital Markets Legislation.
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 MD and EDs, the components of
Directors’ remuneration are structured on the basis of linking rewards to corporate and individual performance. Performance is measured against
profits and other targets set from the Company’s annual budget and plans. For NEDs, the level of remuneration reflects the experience and
level of responsibilities undertaken by the individual NED concerned. Information prepared by independent consultants and survey data on the
remuneration practices of comparable companies are also taken into consideration in determining the remuneration packages for the Directors.
The fees payable to NEDs are determined by the Board with the approval of shareholders at AGM. All NEDs are paid meeting allowance for
attending each Board or Committee Meeting. The Directors do not participate in decision regarding their own remuneration packages.
The aggregate remuneration of Directors categorised into appropriate components during the year was as follows:
16 IGB Corporation Berhad
Notes:
* Other emoluments include: bonuses, incentives, retirement benefits, provisions for leave and allowances.
** Benefits-in-kind include: rental payments, motor vehicles, club memberships and personal expenses.
The aggregate remuneration of Directors in respective bands of RM50,000 during the year was as follows:
Notes:
1 Details of Directors’ remuneration are not shown with reference to Directors individually, both for security and confidentiality reasons. The Board is of the view that
the transparency and accountability aspects of the corporate governance on Directors’ remuneration are appropriately served by the band disclosure made.
2 Remuneration paid to an alternate Director who is a full time employee of the Group has been placed according to the classification of the principal Director.
The Board acknowledges the need for shareholders to be informed of all material business matters affecting the Group. In addition to the various
announcements made to Bursa Securities, the timely release of quarterly and annual financial results provides shareholders and investing public
with an overview of the Group’s performance and operations. The Group has a website at http://www.igbcorp.com from which investors, analysts
and shareholders can access information.
The Group conducts regular dialogues, briefings and meetings with investors and financial analysts to provide updates and new developments,
based on permissible disclosures. However, information that is price-sensitive or that may be regarded as undisclosed material information about
the Group is not disclosed in these sessions until after the prescribed announcement to Bursa Securities has been made.
AGM, usually held in May each year, is the principal forum for dialogue with shareholders. At each AGM, the Board encourages shareholders to
participate in the proceedings and ask questions about the resolutions being proposed and corporate developments. The Chairman, the MD and
EDs respond to shareholders’ questions, where appropriate, during the meeting. The external 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.
The Directors are responsible for ensuring that financial statements are drawn up in accordance with the Act and MASB Approved Accounting
Standards in Malaysia. In presenting the financial statements, the Company has used appropriate accounting policies, consistently applied
and supported by reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates to present a true and fair assessment of the Company’s position
and prospects. Quarterly and annual financial statements were reviewed by AC and approved by the Board prior to release to Bursa
Securities.
The Statement by Directors made pursuant to Section 169(15) of the Act is set out in the Financial Statements.
The Board is responsible for the Group’s system of internal control and risk management and for reviewing its adequacy and integrity. While
acknowledging their responsibility for the system of internal control, the Directors are aware that the Group’s system is designed to manage
rather than eliminate risks and therefore cannot provide absolute assurance against material misstatements, fraud and loss.
Annual Report 2009 17
To assist the Board in maintaining a sound system of internal control for the purposes of safeguarding shareholders’ investment and the
Group’s assets, the Group has in place, an adequately resourced Group Internal Audit (GIA) Department. The activities of this department
which reports to AC provides the Board with much assurance it requires regarding the adequacy and integrity of the system of internal
control. As risk management is a significant component of a sound system of internal control, the management has also put in place a risk
management process to help the Board in identifying, evaluating and managing risks.
An overview of the state of internal control of the Group is set out on in the Statement of Internal Control.
The Board maintains a formal and transparent professional relationship with the Group’s auditors, both external and internal, through AC.

Annual Report 2009 23
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. 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.
Risk management
The RMC, appointed by the Board, comprised members of the Exco. 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. The process also involved the enhancement of the system of internal controls
when there are changes to business environment or regulatory guidelines.
The management assists the Board in the implementation of the Board’s policies and procedures on risk and control by identifying and assessing the
risks faced and in the design, operation and monitoring of suitable internal controls to mitigate and control these risks. All employees are responsible for
operating within these policies. The GIA function and the external auditors provide further independent assurance.
Whilst the Board maintained full control and direction over appropriate strategic, financial, organisational and compliance issues, it has delegated to
management the implementation of the systems of internal control.
• An organisational structure with formally defined lines of responsibility and delegation of authority for all business and functional departments within
the Group;
• Structured 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;
• Preparation of annual operating budgets and capital expenditure plans by the business and functional departments which are reviewed and
approved by the MD and the Board;
• Assessment of quarterly performance of operating departments against approved budgets and reporting of significant variances to the Board;
• Establishment of standard operating policies and procedures to ensure compliance with internal controls and the relevant laws and regulations and
which are reviewed regularly and approved by the management;
• Regular reporting of accounting and legal developments and significant issues to the Board; and
• Implementation of proper guidelines for hiring and termination of staff, formal training programmes for staff, annual performance appraisals and
other procedures in place to ensure that staff are competent and adequately trained in carrying out their responsibilities.
The GIA function monitors compliance with policies and standards and the effectiveness of the internal control systems. 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. AC receives reports on the function’s work and findings and is updated regularly on specific issues.
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.
As required by Paragraph 15.24 of the MMLR, the external auditors have reviewed this Statement of Internal Control. Their review was performed in
accordance with Recommended Practice Guide (‘RPG’) 5 issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants. Based on their review, the external auditors
have reported to the Board that nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe that this Statement is inconsistent with their understanding
of the process the Board has adopted in the review of the adequacy and integrity of internal control of the Group. RPG 5 does not require the external
auditors to and they did not consider whether this Statement covers all risks and controls, or to form an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s risk
and control procedures.

Annual Report 2009 33
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.
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.
(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.
(a) the results of the Group’s and Company’s operations during the financial year were not substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of
a material and unusual nature; and
(b) there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and
unusual nature likely to affect substantially the results of the operations of the Group and Company for the financial year in which this report is made.
Auditors

Audit Committee for PricewaterhouseCoopers to be reappointed as auditors.

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 operations, construction and investment holding.
There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the financial year.
As at 31 December 2009, all financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group and Company are denominated in Ringgit Malaysia unless
otherwise stated.
Unless otherwise stated, the following accounting policies have been applied consistently to all the financial years presented in dealing with items
that are considered material in relation to the financial statements.
The financial statements of the Group and Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and
Financial Reporting Standards, the 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 Financial Reporting Standards 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 judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Although these estimates and judgement are
based on the Directors’ best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ.
The areas involving a higher degree of judgement 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 to existing standards that are effective and are
applicable to the Group
There are no new accounting standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are
effective and are applicable to the Group for the Company’s financial year ended 31 December 2009.
(b) Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are early adopted by the
Group
There are no new accounting standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are early
adopted by the Group.
(c) Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable to the Group
but are not yet effective
The new accounting standard that is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009 is as follows:
• FRS 8 – Operating Segments replaces FRS 1142004 Segment Reporting. The new standard requires a ‘management approach’,
under which segment information is reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision-maker. The improvement to FRS 8 (effective from 1 January 2010) clarifies that entities that do not provide
information about segment assets to the chief operating decision-maker will no longer need to report this information. Prior year
comparatives must be restated.
The new accounting standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are effective for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010 are as follows:
• The revised FRS 101 “Presentation of financial statements” prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (that
is, ‘non-owner changes in equity’) in the statement of changes in equity. ‘Non-owner changes in equity’ are to be presented
separately from owner changes in equity. All non-owner changes in equity will be required to be shown in a performance
statement (the statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (the income statement and statement of comprehensive
income).
42 IGB Corporation Berhad
(c) Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable to the Group
but are not yet effective (continued)
Where entities restate or reclassify comparative information, they will be required to present a restated balance sheet as at the
beginning comparative period in addition to the current requirement to present balance sheets at the end of the current period
and comparative period. It is likely that both the income statement and statement of comprehensive income will be presented
as performance statements.
• FRS 7 “Financial instruments: Disclosures” provides information to users of financial statements about an entity’s exposure to
risks and how the entity manages those risks. The improvement to FRS 7 clarifies that entities must not present total interest
income and expense as a net amount within finance costs on the face of the income statement.
• FRS 123 “Borrowing costs” which replaces FRS 1232004. The standard requires an entity to capitalise borrowing costs directly
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get
ready for use or sale) as part of the cost of the asset. The option of immediately expensing those borrowing costs is removed.
The improvement to FRS 123 clarifies that the definition of borrowing costs includes interest expense calculated using the
effective interest method defined in FRS 139.
• FRS 139 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” establishes principles for recognising and measuring financial
assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy and sell non-financial items. Hedge accounting is permitted under strict
circumstances. The amendments to FRS 139 provide further guidance on eligible hedged items. The amendment provides
guidance for two situations. On the designation of a one-sided risk in a hedged item, the amendment concludes that a purchased
option designated in its entirety as the hedging instrument of a one-sided risk will not be perfectly effective. The designation of
inflation as a hedged risk or portion is not permitted unless in particular situations. The improvement to FRS 139 clarifies that
the scope exemption in FRS 139 only applies to forward contracts but not options for business combinations that are firmly
committed to being completed within a reasonable timeframe.
• FRS 140 “Investment property” requires assets under construction/ development for future use as investment property to be
accounted as investment property rather than property, plant and equipment. Where the fair value model is applied, such
property is measured at fair value. However, where fair value is not reliably measurable, the property is measured at cost until
the earlier of the date construction is completed and fair value becomes reliably measurable. It also clarifies that if a valuation
obtained for an investment property held under lease is net of all expected payments, any recognised lease liability is added
back in order to determine the carrying amount of the investment property under the fair value model.
• The amendment to FRS 1 “First-time adoption of financial reporting standards” and FRS 127 “Consolidated and separate
financial statements: Cost of an investment in a subsidiary, jointly controlled entity or associate” allows first-time adopters to
use a deemed cost of either fair value or the carrying amount under previous accounting practice to measure the initial cost of
investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates in the separate financial statements. The amendment also
removes the definition of the cost method from FRS 127 and requires investors to present dividends as income in the separate
financial statements.
• The amendment to FRS 2 “Share-based payment: Vesting conditions and cancellations” deals with vesting conditions and
cancellations. It clarifies that vesting conditions are service conditions and performance conditions only. Other features of a
share-based payment are not vesting conditions. These features would need to be included in the grant date fair value for
transactions with employees and others providing similar services; they would not impact the number of awards expected to
vest or valuation thereof subsequent to grant date. All cancellations, whether by the entity or by other parties, should receive
the same accounting treatment. The improvement to FRS 2 (effective from 1 July 2010) clarifies that contributions of a business
on formation of a joint venture and common control transactions are outside the scope of FRS 2.
• The amendment to FRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations” clarifies that FRS 5 disclosures apply
to non-current assets or disposal groups that are classified as held for sale and discontinued operations. Improvement effective
from 1 July 2010 clarifies that all of a subsidiary’s assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale if a partial disposal sale
plan results in loss of control. Relevant disclosure should be made for this subsidiary if the definition of a discontinued operation
is met.
Annual Report 2009 43
(c) Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable to the Group
but are not yet effective (continued)
• The amendment to FRS 107 “Statement of cash flows” clarifies that only expenditure resulting in a recognised asset can be
categorised as a cash flow from investing activities.
• The amendment to FRS 110 “Events after the balance sheet date” reinforces existing guidance that a dividend declared after
the reporting date is not a liability of an entity at that date given that there is no obligation at that time.
• The amendment to FRS 116 “Property, plant and equipments” (consequential amendment to FRS 107 “Statement of cash
flows”) requires entities whose ordinary activities comprise of renting and subsequently selling assets to present proceeds from
the sale of those assets as revenue and should transfer the carrying amount of the asset to inventories when the asset becomes
held for sale. A consequential amendment to FRS 107 states that cash flows arising from purchase, rental and sale of those
assets are classified as cash flows from operating activities.
• The amendment to FRS 117 “Leases” clarifies that the default classification of the land element in a land and building lease is
no longer an operating lease. As a result, leases of land should be classified as either finance or operating, using the general
principles of FRS 117.
• The amendment to FRS 118 “Revenue” provides more guidance when determining whether an entity is acting as a ‘principal’
or as an ‘agent’.
• The amendment to FRS 119 “Employee benefits” clarifies that a plan amendment that results in a change in the extent to which
benefit promises are affected by future salary increases is a curtailment, while an amendment that changes benefits attributable
to past service gives rise to a negative past service cost if it results in a reduction in the present value of the defined benefit
obligation.
• The amendment to FRS 127 “Consolidated & separate financial statements” clarifies that where an investment in a subsidiary
that is accounted for under FRS 139 is classified as held for sale under FRS 5, FRS 139 would continue to be applied.
• The amendment to FRS 128 “Investments in associates” clarifies that an investment in an associate is treated as a single
asset for impairment testing purposes. Reversals of impairment are recorded as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the
investment to the extent that the recoverable amount of the associate increases.
• The amendment to FRS 128 “Investments in associates” and FRS 131 “Interests in joint ventures” (consequential amendments
to FRS 132 “Financial instruments: Presentation” and FRS 7 “Financial instruments: Disclosure”) clarify that where an investment
in associate or joint venture is accounted for in accordance with FRS 139, only certain, rather than all disclosure requirements
in FRS 128 or FRS 131 need to be made in addition to disclosures required by FRS 132 and FRS 7.
• The amendments to FRS 132 “Financial instruments: Presentation” and FRS 101(revised) “Presentation of financial statements”
- “Puttable financial instruments and obligations arising on liquidation” require entities to classify puttable financial instruments
and instruments that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a prorata share of the net assets of the entity
only on liquidation as equity, if they have particular features and meet specific conditions.
• The amendment to FRS 134 “Interim financial reporting” clarifies that basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) must be
presented in an interim report only in the case when the entity is required to disclose EPS in its annual report.
• The amendment to FRS 136 “Impairment of assets” clarifies that the largest cash-generating unit (or group of units) to which
goodwill should be allocated for the purposes of impairment testing is an operating segment before the aggregation of segments
with similar economic characteristics. The improvement also clarifies that where fair value less costs to sell is calculated on the
basis of discounted cash flows, disclosures equivalent to those for value in use should be made.
• The amendment to FRS 138 “Intangible Assets” clarifies that a prepayment may only be recognised in the event that payment
has been made in advance of obtaining right of access to goods or receipt of services. This means that an expense will be
recognised for mail order catalogues when the entity has access to the catalogues and not when the catalogues are distributed
to customers. It confirms that the unit of production method of amortisation is allowed.
44 IGB Corporation Berhad
(c) Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable to the Group
but are not yet effective (continued)
• IC Interpretation 9 “Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives” requires an entity to assess whether an embedded derivative is
required to be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative when the entity first becomes a party to the
contract. Subsequent reassessment is prohibited unless there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies
the cash flows that otherwise would be required under the contract, in which case reassessment is required. The improvement
to IC Interpretation 9 (effective from 1 July 2010) clarifies that this interpretation does not apply to embedded derivatives in
contracts acquired in a business combination, businesses under common control or the formation of a joint venture.
• IC Interpretation 10 “Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment” prohibits the impairment losses recognised in an interim
period on goodwill and investments in equity instruments and in financial assets carried at cost to be reversed at a subsequent
balance sheet date.
• IC Interpretation 11 “FRS 2 Group and treasury share transactions” provides guidance on whether share-based transactions
involving treasury shares or involving group entities should be accounted for as equity-settled or cash-settled share-based
payment transactions in the stand-alone accounts of the parent and group companies.
• IC Interpretation 13 “Customer loyalty programmes” clarifies that where goods or services are sold together with a customer
loyalty incentive, the arrangement is a multiple-element arrangement and the consideration receivable from the customer is
allocated between the components of the arrangement using fair values.
• IC Interpretation 14 “FRS 119 The limit on a defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirements and their interaction” provides
guidance on assessing the limit in FRS 119 on the amount of the surplus that can be recognised as an asset.
The new accounting standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are effective for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010 are as follows:
• The revised FRS 3 “Business combinations”. The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business
combinations, with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value
at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the income statement.
There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair
value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be
expensed.
• The revised FRS 127 “Consolidated and separate financial statements” requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling
interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains
and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is re-measured
to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
• The amendment to FRS 138 “Intangible Assets” Improvement clarifies that a group of complementary intangible assets acquired
in a business combination is recognised as a single asset if the individual asset has similar useful lives.
• IC Interpretation 15 “Agreements for construction of real estates” clarifies whether FRS 118 “Revenue” or FRS 111 “Construction
contracts” should be applied to particular transactions. It is likely to result in FRS 118 being applied to a wider range of
transactions. Retrospective adjustments will be required to reverse development profits recognised for both completed and
ongoing projects. Development profits will be recognised upon completion of the project.
As allowed under the transitional provision of FRS 139 and FRS 7, the Group and the Company are exempted from having to disclose
the possible impact of the application of this standard on the financial statements of the Group and the Company in the year of initial
application.
The Group is in the process of quantifying the impact arising from the application of IC Interpretation 15 on agreements for the
construction of real estates.
Other than FRS 139, FRS 7 and IC Interpretation 15, the above standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations
to existing standards are not anticipated to have any significant impact on the financial position of the Group and the Company in
the year of initial application.
Annual Report 2009 45
(d) Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are not applicable to the
Group
The new accounting standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are effective for
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010 are as follows:
The new interpretations to existing standards that are effective for periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010 are as follows:
(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.
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 represents that portion of the profit or loss and net assets of a subsidiary attributable to equity interests that are
not owned, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, by the parent. It is measured at the minorities’ share of the fair value of the
subsidiaries’ identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date and the minorities’ share of changes in the subsidiaries’ equity
since that date.
Where more than one exchange transaction 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 a revaluation.
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. Where necessary, accounting policies of
subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary, which 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.
46 IGB Corporation Berhad
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 of the carrying value of net
assets of the subsidiary acquired.
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 consolidated financial statements by the equity method of
accounting. Equity accounting involves recognising 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 recognises the portion of gains or losses on the sale of assets by the Group to the joint venture that is attributable to the
other venturers. The Group does not recognise its share of profits or losses from the joint venture that result from the purchase of
assets by the Group from the joint venture until it resells the assets to an independent party. However, a loss on the transaction is
recognised immediately if the loss provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable 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 with 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.
(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 the 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.
Annual Report 2009 47
Property, plant and equipment are initially stated at cost. Hotel properties (land and buildings) are subsequently shown at revalued amounts
based on periodic 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.
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, the valuation has not been updated.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying
amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item
will flow to the Group and 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:
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.
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. Building fittings 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.
48 IGB Corporation Berhad
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
• Building fittings 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 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 are included in the balance sheet as intangible assets whereas negative goodwill is recognised
immediately in the income statement.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and is 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 jointly controlled entities and associates is included in investments in jointly controlled entities and investment in
associates. Such goodwill is tested for impairment as part of the overall balance.
2.6 Investments
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities 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.
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.
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.
Annual Report 2009 49
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 a
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.
Leasehold land that normally has a definite 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 the lower of cost and net realisable value.
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 applicable variable selling expenses.
Cost is determined using the first in, first out method. The cost of finished goods comprises building materials used in construction
activities.
Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis and comprises food and beverage, printing and stationeries and guestroom supplies.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the applicable variable selling expenses.
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.
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).
50 IGB Corporation Berhad
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
retain 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 within the Group’s normal operating cycle of 2 to 3 years.
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.
Property development costs are recognised when incurred. 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).
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.
For the purpose of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short
term and highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are included within borrowings in current
liabilities on the balance sheet.
Annual Report 2009 51
(a) Classification
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Other shares are classified as equity or liability according to the economic substance of the
particular instrument.
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.
External costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown as a deduction, net of tax, in equity from the proceeds.
Interim dividends are recognised as liabilities when declared before the balance sheet date. Final dividends are accounted for only
after approval by the Company’s shareholders.
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 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 total 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.
Interest, losses and gains relating to a financial instrument, or a component part, classified as a liability is reported within finance
cost in the income statement.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
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 to the income statement.
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 taxes 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
the 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.
52 IGB Corporation Berhad
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits 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.
The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonus. The Group recognises a provision where there is a contractual obligation
or where there is a past practice that has created a construction obligation.
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.
The Directors had applied the transitional provisions of FRS 2 “Share-Based Payment” as adopted by the Malaysian Accounting
Standards Board in relation to grants of shares, share options or other equity instruments that were granted before 31 December
2004 and had not yet vested at the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006. Accordingly, 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.
Details of the Group’s Employee Share Option Scheme in the previous financial year are set out in Note 12(c) to the financial
statements.
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.
The Group does not recognise 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.
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.
Annual Report 2009 53
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 stage of completion method based on units sold, and where the outcome of the
development projects can be reliably estimated. Anticipated losses are recognised in full.
Income from construction contracts is recognised on the stage of completion method in cases where the outcome of the contract can be
reliably estimated. In all cases, anticipated losses are recognised in full.
Dividend income is recognised as income when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.
Hotel revenue represents income derived from room rental and sales of food and beverage. Room rental income is accrued on a daily basis
on customer-occupied rooms. Sales of food and beverage are recognised upon delivery to customers. Hotel revenue is recognised net of
sales tax and discounts.
Rental income is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements unless collectability 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 an 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.
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.
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.
The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have
a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
• assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
• income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates; 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 total
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.
54 IGB Corporation Berhad
(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 asset is any asset that is cash, a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another enterprise, a
contractual right to exchange financial instruments with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially favourable, or an
equity instrument of another enterprise.
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.
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.
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, expenses, 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,
expenses, 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.
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.
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.
Annual Report 2009 55
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.
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.
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.
In addition, the Company has given guarantees to subsidiaries for banking facilities (see Note 33). The Directors are of the view that such
credit risk is minimal in view of the stability of the subsidiaries’ financial position.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the Group’s 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.
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.
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.
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:
Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. Significant judgement is required in the estimation of the present value of future cash flows generated by the assets,
which involves uncertainties and are significantly affected by assumptions used and judgement made regarding estimates of future
cash flows and discount rates. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect the results of the Group’s test for impairment of
assets.
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.
56 IGB Corporation Berhad
Recognition of deferred tax assets, which principally relate to tax losses, depends on the expectation of future taxable profits that
will be available against which tax losses can be utilised. This involves judgement regarding the future financial performance of the
particular entity in which the deferred tax asset has been recognised.
The Group recognises property development profits by reference to the stage of completion of the development activity at the balance
sheet date. The stage of completion is determined based on the proportion that the property development costs incurred to-date bear
to the estimated total costs for the property development. Where it is probable that total property development costs of a development
phase will exceed total property development revenue of the development phase, the expected loss on the development phase is
recognised as an expense immediately.
Significant judgement is required in the estimation of total property development costs. Where the actual total property development
costs is different from the estimated total property development costs, such difference will impact the property development profits/
(losses) recognised.
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, there are no critical judgements made in
applying the Group’s accounting policies.

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)).
2009 2008
Profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company (RM’000) 158,978 154,960
In the diluted earnings per ordinary share calculation in the preceding financial year, the 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 for the period which they are
outstanding up to the date of expiry of the ESOS on 24 June 2008. 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. During the financial year, the Group does not have in issue any financial instruments or other contracts that may entitle its holder
to ordinary shares and therefore dilute its basic earnings per share.

11. Dividends
Dividends paid, declared or proposed since the end of the previous financial year are as follows:
On 25 February 2010, the Directors have declared an interim dividend in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2009 of 5% less tax at
25% paid on 15 April 2010 to every member who is entitled to receive the dividend as at 4.00 pm on 15 March 2010. The interim dividend has not
been recognised in the Statement of Changes in Equity as it was declared subsequent to the financial year.
Annual Report 2009 61
In the previous financial year, the Company’s issued and fully paid-up share capital was increased from RM744,862,004 to RM745,148,004
by way of the following issue of shares:
The newly issued shares in the previous financial year ranked pari passu in all respects with the existing issued shares of the Company
except that they were not entitled to any dividends, rights, allotments and/or other distributions unless the allotment of the new IGB Shares
were made on or prior to the entitlement date of such dividends, rights, allotments and/or other distributions.
Shareholders of the Company, by an ordinary resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting on 27 May 2009, renewed the approval of
the Company’s plan to purchase its own shares. The Directors of the Company are committed to enhancing the value of the Company to its
shareholders and believe that the repurchase plan can be applied in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

shares were held as treasury shares.
The repurchase transactions during the financial year were financed by internally generated funds. The shares repurchased are being held
as treasury shares in accordance with Section 67A of the Companies Act, 1965 and carried at historical cost of repurchase. The Company
has the right to reissue these shares at a later date. As treasury shares, the rights attached as to voting, dividends and participation in other
distribution are suspended.

issue of additional shares in the issued share capital of the Company by way of rights issue, capitalisation of profits or reserves or
any sub-division and consolidation of the Company’s shares;
(iv) The option price at which the employees are offered to take up shares under the ESOS is the weighted average market price of
the shares of the Company as quoted in the Daily Official List issued by Bursa Securities for the five market days preceding the
respective dates of offer of the options with an allowance for a discount of not more than 10% therefrom at the ESOS Committee’s
discretion or the par value of the shares of the Company of RM0.50, whichever is higher; and

year ended 31 December 2006 by an independent qualified valuer, Elvin Fernandez, a member of the Institute of Surveyors, Malaysia, and

The Group’s trade receivables consist of amounts owing by purchasers of properties, tenants of office and commercial buildings and hotel guests.

in collection of trade receivables falls within the recorded allowances. Due to these factors, management believes that no additional credit risk

Statement by Directors
pursuant to Section 169(15) of the Companies Act, 1965
We, Robert Tan Chung Meng and Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Khalid Ahmad Bin Sulaiman, being two of the Directors of IGB Corporation Berhad, do hereby state
that, in the opinion of the Directors, the financial statements set out on pages 34 to 93 are drawn up 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 the state
of affairs of the Group and Company as at 31 December 2009 and of the results and cash flows of the Group and Company for the financial year ended
on that date.

pursuant to Section 169(16) of the Companies Act, 1965
I, Chai Lai Sim, the officer primarily responsible for the financial management of IGB Corporation Berhad, do solemnly and sincerely declare that the
financial statements set out on pages 34 to 93 are, in my opinion, correct and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be
true, and by virtue of the provisions of the Statutory Declarations Act, 1960.
Subscribed and solemnly declared by the abovenamed Chai Lai Sim at Kuala Lumpur on 28 April 2010.
Before me:
We have audited the financial statements of IGB Corporation Berhad, which comprise the balance sheets as at 31 December 2009 of the Group and of
the Company, and the income statements, statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements of the Group and of the Company for the year then
ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory Notes, as set out on pages 34 to 93.
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with MASB Approved
Accounting Standards in Malaysia for Entities Other than Private Entities and the Companies Act, 1965. This responsibility includes: designing,
implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable
in the circumstances.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved
standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected
depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made
by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with MASB Approved Accounting Standards in Malaysia for Entities
Other than Private Entities and the Companies Act, 1965 so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as of
31 December 2009 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended.
In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia, we also report the following:
(a) In our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and its subsidiaries have been
properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
(b) We have considered the financial statements and the auditors’ reports of all the subsidiaries of which we have not acted as auditors, which are
indicated in Note 37 to the financial statements.
(c) 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 financial statements of the Group and we have received satisfactory
information and explanations required by us for those purposes.
(d) The audit reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries did not contain any qualification or any adverse comment made under Section
174(3) of the Act.
Other Matters
This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 174 of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia and for
no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.
