Corporate Profile
The Berjaya Group of Companies’ history dates back to 1984 when our Chairman/Chief Executive
Officer, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun acquired a major controlling stake in the share
capital of Berjaya Industrial Berhad (originally known as Berjaya Kawat Berhad, now known as
RekaPacific Berhad) from the founders, Broken Hill Proprietary Ltd, Australia and National Iron &
Steel Mills, Singapore. The shareholding change also resulted in a major change in the directorate,
direction and dynamic growth of Berjaya Group.
In October 1988, following a major restructuring, Berjaya Group Berhad (then known as Inter-Pacific
Industrial Group Berhad) became the holding company of Berjaya Industrial Berhad.
Inter-Pacific Industrial Group Berhad was incorporated as Raleigh Berhad in 1967 as a bicycle
manufacturer. In 1969, the Company gained official listing on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange.
Through the entrepreneurial leadership of Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan, the Group has been
transformed into a diversified entity through partnerships, acquisitions, joint-ventures and new start-
ups.
Today, with a total employee strength of over 22,000, the Group is engaged in the following core
businesses:
• Financial Services;
• Consumer Marketing and Direct Selling;
• Vacation Timeshare, Hotels, Resorts & Recreation Development;
• Property Investment and Development; and
• Gaming and Lottery Management.
The Berjaya Group of Companies’ financial growth, highlighted below reflects Tan Sri Dato’ Seri
Vincent Tan’s vision and stewardship over the past 16 years.

Before the profit and loss accounts and balance sheets were made out, the directors took reasonable steps to
ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business including their
values as shown in the accounting records of the Company and of the Group have been written down to an
amount which they might be expected so to realise.
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render the values
attributed to the current assets in the accounts of the Company and of the Group misleading.
VA L U AT I O N M E T H O D S
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which render
adherence to the existing methods of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Company and of the Group
misleading or inappropriate.
(a) any charge on the assets of the Company or of the Group which has arisen since the end of the financial
year which secures the liabilities of any other person; or
(b) any contingent liability of the Company or of the Group which has arisen since the end of the financial
year, other than in respect of underwriting commitments made in the ordinary course of business by the
stockbroking subsidiary companies of the Group.
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 substantially
affect the ability of the Company or of the Group to meet their obligations when they fall due.
For the purpose of this section, contingent or other liabilities do not include liabilities arising from contracts of
insurance underwritten in the ordinary course of business of an insurance subsidiary company of the Group.
C H A N G E O F C I R C U M S TA N C E S
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report
or the accounts of the Company or of the Group which would render any amount stated in the accounts
misleading.

Statement by Directors
We, TAN SRI DATO’ SERI TAN CHEE YIOUN and DATO’ TAN CHEE SING, being two of the directors
of BERJAYA GROUP BERHAD, do hereby state that, in the opinion of the directors, the accompanying
balance sheets of the Company and of the Group as at 30 April 2000 and the related profit and loss accounts of
the Company and of the Group and cash flow statement of the Group for the year then ended, together with
the notes thereto, give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 30 April
2000 and of the results of the Company and of the Group and cash flows of the Group for the year then ended,
and have been properly drawn up in accordance with applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia.
I, ROBERT YONG KUEN LOKE, the director primarily responsible for the financial management of
BERJAYA GROUP BERHAD, do solemnly and sincerely declare that the accompanying balance sheets of the
Company and of the Group as at 30 April 2000 and the related profit and loss accounts of the Company and of
the Group and cash flow statement of the Group for the year then ended, together with the notes thereto are,
to the best of my knowledge and belief 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.
Before me:
We have audited the accounts of BERJAYA GROUP BERHAD (the Company) and the consolidated accounts
of BERJAYA GROUP BERHAD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES (the Group) as at 30 April 2000. These
accounts are the responsibility of the Company’s directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
accounts based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with approved Standards on Auditing in Malaysia. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accounts are free
from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the accounts. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall accounts presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion,
(a) the accounts give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 30 April
2000 and of the results of the Company and of the Group and cash flows of the Group for the year then
ended, and have been properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965
and applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia; and
(b) the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and the
subsidiaries of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions
of the Act.
We have considered the accounts and the auditors’ reports of all the subsidiaries of which we have not acted as
auditors, as indicated in Note 38 to the accounts, being accounts that have been included in the consolidated
accounts.
We are satisfied that the accounts of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the Company’s accounts
are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the consolidated accounts
and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required by us for these purposes.
The audit reports on the accounts of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification nor any adverse
comment made under subsection (3) of Section 174 of the Act.

1 P R I N C I PA L A C T I V I T I E S
The principal activities of the Company consist of investment holding and provision of management
services.
The principal activities of the subsidiary and associated companies are described in Note 38.
There were no significant changes in the Group’s activities during the year other than the acquisition or
disposal of subsidiary companies as disclosed in Note 38.
The accounts are prepared under the historical cost convention and comply with applicable approved
accounting standards in Malaysia.
The consolidated accounts incorporate the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiary companies
made up to the end of the financial year, except for Taiga Forest Products Ltd., a Canadian listed
foreign subsidiary company, whose financial year end is 31 March 2000. Approval from the Registrar
of Companies has been obtained for this differing year end. There were no significant transactions
between 31 March 2000 and the Group’s financial year end that require adjustments.
Companies acquired or disposed during the year are included in the consolidated accounts from the
date of acquisition or to the date of disposal. Intragroup transactions are eliminated on consolidation
and the consolidated accounts reflect external transactions.
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of subsidiary companies at the
date of acquisition is included in the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill or reserve arising on
consolidation. Goodwill or reserve arising on consolidation is not amortised.
Subsidiary companies which meet the criteria for merger accounting are accounted for using the
merger accounting principles. When the merger method is used, the cost of investment in the
acquiror’s book is recorded as the nominal value of shares issued and the difference between the
carrying value of the investment and the nominal value of shares acquired is treated as merger reserve.
The results of the companies being merged are included as if the merger had been effected throughout
the current and previous financial years.
All the subsidiary companies are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting except for
the acquisition of Singer (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, having met the criteria for merger accounting, which is
accounted for under the merger method.
Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets of subsidiary companies at the date of acquisition less proportionate amounts written off for
subsequent disposals of investments in the relevant subsidiary companies. It is retained in the
consolidated balance sheet at written down cost. Further write-downs are provided only when the
directors are of the opinion that there is a permanent diminution in value.
74
Notes to the Accounts - 30 April 2000
The Group treats as associated companies those companies in which a long term equity interest of
between 20% to 50% is held and where the Group is in a position to exercise significant influence
through Board representation.
Premium or discount on acquisition, which is the difference between the purchase consideration for
shares in the associated companies and the share of net assets at the date of acquisition, is not
amortised.
However, the premium on acquisition is written down where in the opinion of the directors, there has
been a permanent diminution in value.
The Group’s share of profits less losses of associated companies is included in the consolidated profit
and loss account and the Group’s interest in associated companies is stated at cost plus the Group’s
share of post-acquisition reserves of the associated companies. Where an associated company’s
financial year is not coterminous with that of the Group, the associated company’s results are equity
accounted using the latest audited accounts and supplemented by management accounts up to the
Group’s financial year end.
Income from leasing and hire purchase transactions is recognised on the ‘sum-of-digits’ method
over the term of the lease and hire purchase periods.
(ii) Insurance
Premium income from general insurance business is recognised based upon the issuance of
insurance policies except for premium for inward treaty business which is recognised based on
date of receipt of the accounts or upon notification by the ceding companies. Premiums in
respect of risks incepted for which policies have not been issued as of balance sheet date are being
accrued for.
The insurance underwriting results are determined after taking full account, inter alia, reserves
for unexpired risks, outstanding claims incurred but not reported claims and additional reserves.
Profit from the sale of development properties is recognised on the ‘percentage of completion’
method, where the outcome of the development projects can be reliably estimated. Anticipated
losses are recognised immediately in the profit and loss account.
Dividend income from investments in subsidiary and associated companies is accounted for on
the accrual basis. Income from other investments is accounted for on the receipt basis and, in the
case of an insurance subsidiary, on the basis of the dates dividends are declared by the investee
companies.
75
Notes to the Accounts - 30 April 2000
For stockbroking subsidiary companies, interest income, in cases where client accounts are
classified as non-performing, is suspended until it is realised on a cash basis, except for margin
accounts whereby interest income is suspended until the account is classified as performing.
- Contra losses When the account remains outstanding for 30 calendar days or
more from the date of the contra transaction.
- Overdue purchase When the account remains outstanding from T+7 market days
contracts onwards.
- Margin accounts When the value of the collateral has fallen below 130% of the
outstanding balance.
80% of the enrolment fees from members joining the vacation club are recognised as income
upon signing of the membership agreements and the remaining 20% is treated as deferred
membership fees which are recognised over the membership period.
Sales are recognised upon the delivery of products and revenue from incidental services rendered
are recognised upon its completion. Interest income from hire purchase sales and equal payment
schemes are recognised as income over the period of instalment payment calculated and represent
a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayment outstanding.
Revenue from the lease of lottery equipment is recognised based on a percentage of gross receipts
from lottery tickets sales, net of taxes.
Revenue from lottery products sales and services income are recognised on the basis of shipment
of products, performance of services and ‘percentage of completion’ method for long term
contracts.
76
Notes to the Accounts - 30 April 2000
Transactions in foreign currencies during the year are converted into Ringgit Malaysia at rates of
exchange approximating those ruling at the transaction dates or at contracted rates, where applicable.
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are translated into Ringgit
Malaysia at rates of exchange approximating those ruling at that date or at contracted rates, where
applicable. All exchange gains or losses are dealt with in the profit and loss accounts. The accounts of
foreign subsidiary companies have been translated into Ringgit Malaysia at the rates of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences on translation of the net assets of foreign
subsidiary companies are dealt with through an exchange fluctuation reserve.
(g) Investments
Investments in subsidiary, associated companies and other long term investments are stated at cost.
Such investments are only written down when the directors are of the opinion that there is permanent
diminution in their value.
Investments in quoted shares and marketable securities held by the insurance subsidiary company are
stated at the lower of cost and market value on the aggregate basis by category of investments.
The Group regards investment properties as land and buildings that are held for their investment
potential and rental income. Investment properties are stated at cost less provision for any permanent
diminution in value.
Land held for development consist of land held for future development and where no significant
development has been undertaken.
Land held for development is stated at cost which includes land cost, incidental costs of acquisition,
development expenditure and capitalised interest costs relating to development.
Such assets are transferred to development properties when significant development work has been
undertaken and are expected to be completed within the normal operating cycle.
Land and development expenditure whereby significant development work has been undertaken and
is expected to be completed within the normal operating cycle are classified as development properties.
Development properties are stated at cost plus attributable profit less progress billings. Cost includes
land cost, incidental costs of acquisition, development expenditure and capitalised interest costs
relating to the development.
Interest incurred on borrowings related to fixed assets, development properties, land held for
development and investment properties are capitalised during the period activities to plan, develop
and construct the assets are undertaken. Capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when the assets are
ready for their intended use or sale.
77
Notes to the Accounts - 30 April 2000
The cost of assets acquired under finance lease agreements are capitalised. The depreciation policy on
these assets is similar to that of the Group’s other assets as set out in (m) below. Outstanding
obligations due under the lease agreements after deducting finance expenses are included as liabilities
in the accounts.
The finance expenses of the lease rentals are charged to the profit and loss accounts over the period
of the respective agreements.
Lease rental incurred on operating leases are charged to the profit and loss accounts in the year they
become payable.
Hotel properties comprise hotel land, building and integral plant and machinery. It is the Group’s
practice to maintain these properties at a high standard and condition such that residual values
approximate to book values and consequently, depreciation would be insignificant. Accordingly, no
depreciation is provided on freehold hotel properties or long leasehold hotel properties with unexpired
lease tenure of 50 years or more. The related maintenance expenditure is dealt with in the profit and
loss account.
To establish whether the residual value of the hotel properties are at least equal to their respective book
values, all hotel properties are appraised by independent professional valuers at least once in every five
years based on open market value. Where the residual values of the hotel properties are less than their
respective book values, a write down of book values to its recoverable amounts will be made. The
amount of reduction will be recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account.
Freehold land, long leasehold land with unexpired lease tenure of 50 years or more, and capital work-
in-progress are not depreciated. On all other assets, depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis
calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life. The principal annual rates
of depreciation are:
Others comprise mainly linen, silverware, cutlery, kitchen utensils and recreational livestock and
apparatus. The initial cost of linen, silverware, cutlery and kitchen utensils is capitalised but not
depreciated and subsequent replacements are charged to the profit and loss account as and when
incurred. Recreational livestock and apparatus are depreciated at the rates mentioned above.

The reserves for unexpired risks (“RUR”) represent the portion of premium income not yet earned at
the balance sheet date. RUR is calculated as follows :
- Other policies
The RUR at balance sheet date is reduced by the corresponding deferred acquisition cost
(“DAC”) based on the method prescribed by Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”). The method
prescribed by BNM permits only certain specified reinsurances to be deductible in calculating
the RUR and in addition, restricts the amount of DAC to an amount not exceeding a prescribed
percentage of the RUR calculated on BNM’s basis.
(o) Stocks
Stocks of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net
realisable value. Cost, in the case of work-in-progress and finished goods, comprises raw materials,
direct labour and an attributable proportion of production overheads. Cost is determined on the first-
in first-out, the weighted average cost method, or by specific identification.
Stores and consumables are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value after adequate provision
has been made for damaged, obsolete and slow moving items. Cost is determined on a first-in first-
out basis.
Stocks of completed houses are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the
relevant cost of land, development expenditure and related interest cost incurred during the
development period.

reinsurance recoveries, in respect of claims notified but not paid at balance sheet date, using the best
available information at that time. Provision is also made for outstanding claims together with related
expenses incurred but not reported at balance sheet date, using a mathematical method of estimation.
Contributions relating to defined contribution plans are charged to the profit and loss account
when incurred.
Certain subsidiary companies operate retirement benefits schemes based on defined benefit plan
for the employees of the respective companies. The assets of these schemes are held separately
from these companies in independently administered funds. Contributions to the scheme are
charged to the profit and loss account so as to spread the cost of the scheme over the employees’
working lives in the respective companies. The contributions are determined by qualified actuary
using the projected benefit method.
The April 2000 actuarial valuation of a US subsidiary company showed that the value of the
assets was RM8,865,000 (USD2,333,000) as compared to the present value of benefits
obligations of RM9,834,000 (USD2,588,000). The shortfall of RM969,000 (USD255,000) was
treated as accrued pension liability in the book of the said US subsidiary company and
incorporated in the consolidated accounts.

were carried out in April 1998 and December 1999, respectively.
Retirement benefits for employees of a foreign subsidiary company are accrued for in accordance
with the provisions of that foreign country’s retirement law.

which the Group has 73.5% equity interest, has not been consolidated because the company has been placed
under voluntary reorganisation pursuant to Chapter 11 Reorganisation Protection in the United States

year ended 30 April 1999. Under Nathan’s plan, Roasters Asia Pacific (HK) Limited, a wholly owned
subsidiary company of the Group, will continue to operate as master franchisor for the Asia Pacific region
and favourable terms of franchise fee and royalty are awarded for its future operations under the revised
Master Development Agreement. However, the Group in return, will waive its rights to any existing
outstanding debt and release any lien and security interest against Roasters Corp.
During the financial year, the cost of investment in Roasters Corp., which was fully provided for in the
previous year, was written off.

The effective rate of taxation for the Group and the Company is higher than the standard rate of tax
applicable in Malaysia as losses of certain subsidiary companies cannot be set off against profits made by
other companies in the group and certain expenses being disallowed for tax purposes.
There is no tax charge for the previous financial year for the Company as the tax was waived in accordance
with the Income Tax (Amendment) Act, 1999. The chargeable income of RM94,451,000 on which the tax
is waived was credited to an exempt account from which tax exempt dividends can be declared, subject to
agreement with the Inland Revenue Board.
As at 30 April 2000, the Company has tax losses of approximately RM1,587,000 (1999: RM1,587,000)
and unutilised capital allowances of approximately RM7,600,000 (1999: RM6,682,000) which can be used
to offset against future taxable profits subject to the agreement of the Inland Revenue Board.
As at 30 April 2000, the Company has a potential deferred tax benefit of approximately RM2,331,000
(1999: RM2,315,000), arising principally from tax losses carried forward and unutilised capital allowances,
the effects of which are not included in the accounts as there is no assurance beyond any reasonable doubt
that future taxable income will be sufficient to allow the benefit to be realised.

RM50 million of the creditors’ debts will be involved in this exercise and these debts together
with the bank loans would not exceed RM900 million of debts to be converted into BLB ICULS
1999/2009 and ordinary shares.

Conversion from RM900 million to approximately up to RM1.2 billion to cater for new

(3) Fixed assets with net book value of RM518,225,000, under Note 10, and investment properties
amounting to RM282,166,000, under Note 12, have been reclassified from valuation to cost in line
with the acquisition method of consolidation, where assets have been revalued by the subsidiary

rectified to exclude the revaluation of fixed assets and investment properties.
(4) The comparative figure for intangible assets was previously stated as RM2,650,863,000 in the balance
sheet. In the current year, it was restated as RM2,630,061,000. The comparative figure for goodwill

adjustments to goodwill on consolidation.
(5) Cash and cash equivalents have been restated to include bank overdrafts and exclude remisiers’
deposits and clients’ monies held in trust.
(6) The comparative figures for the amount due from subsidiary companies for the Group and the
Company, under Note 5, have been restated to show the gross amount and the corresponding
provision for doubtful debts. In the previous year, the amounts were shown net of the provision.

In the previous year, the items, which are of similar nature, were shown net of any gains or losses.
(9) An amount of RM105,451,000, under Note 34, was reclassified to capital expenditure on fixed assets
that were approved and contracted for from balance of purchase consideration of properties to better
