DIRECTORS’ REPORT
OPTIONS GRANTED OVER UNISSUED SHARES
During the financial year, no options were granted by the Company to any person to take up any
unissued shares in the Company.
BAD AND DOUBTFUL DEBTS
Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took
reasonable steps to ascertain that 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.
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances that would further require
the writing off of bad debts, or additional allowance for doubtful debts in the financial statements of
the Group and of the Company.
CURRENT ASSETS
Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took
reasonable steps to ascertain that any current assets other than debts, which were unlikely to be
realised in the ordinary course of business, including their values as shown in the accounting records
of the Group and of the Company, 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 financial statements of the Group and of the Company
misleading.
VALUATION METHODS
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 Group and of the

Company to meet their obligations when they fall due.

the opinion of the directors, substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and
unusual nature.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2007
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company is a public company limited by shares and is incorporated under the
Malaysian Companies Act, 1965. The domicile of the Company is Malaysia. The registered
office, which is also the principal place of business, is at Wisma Siah Brothers, 74A, Jalan
Pahang, 53000 Kuala Lumpur.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in
accordance with a resolution of the directors dated 30 July 2007.
2. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The Company is principally engaged in the businesses of investment holding and the
provision of management and administrative services to the subsidiaries. The principal
activities of the subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements. There have
been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the financial year.
3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The Group's financial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial
resources are available for the development of the Group's business whilst managing its
market, credit, liquidity and cash flow risks. The policies in respect of the major areas of
treasury activity are as follows:-
(a) Market Risk
(i) Foreign Currency Risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk on investments and bank
balances that are denominated in foreign currencies.
The Group’s foreign currency transactions and balances are substantially
denominated in Thai Baht.
The Group does not seek to hedge this exposure as the Group is of the
opinion that the fluctuations of the Thai Baht do not have a significant
impact on the financial statements.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONT’D)
(a) Market Risk (Cont’d)
(ii) Interest Rate Risk
The Group obtains financing through bank borrowings and hire purchase
facilities. Its policy is to obtain the most favourable interest rates available.
Surplus funds are placed with licensed financial institutions at the most
favourable interest rates.
(iii) Price Risk
The Group’s principal exposure to market risks arises mainly from changes
in quoted equity prices. The Group does not use derivative instruments to
manage equity risk.
(b) Credit Risk
The Group's exposure to credit risks, or the risk of counterparties defaulting,
arises mainly from receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risks is
represented by the total carrying amount of these financial assets in the balance
sheet reduced by the effects of any netting arrangements with counterparties.
The Group does not have any major concentration of credit risk related to any
individual customer or counterparty.
The Group manages its exposure to credit risk by the application of credit
approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures on an ongoing basis.
(c) Liquidity and Cash Flow Risk
The Group's exposure to liquidity and cashflow risks arises mainly from general
funding and business activities.
It practises prudent liquidity risk management by maintaining sufficient cash
balances and the availability of funding through certain committed credit facilities.

4. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared under the
historical cost convention and modified to include other bases of valuation as disclosed in
other sections under significant accounting policies, and in compliance with applicable
MASB approved accounting standards in Malaysia for Entities Other Than Private Entities
and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965.
In the current financial year, the Company has adopted all the new and revised Financial
Reporting Standards (“FRS”) issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board which
are relevant to its operations and effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1
January 2006.
The adoption of these new and revised FRS does not have any material effects on the
financial statements of the Company.
The following FRS have been issued and are effective for financial periods beginning on or
after 1 October 2006 and will be effective for the Group’s and the Company’s financial
statements for the financial year ending 31 March 2008:-
FRS 117 Leases
FRS 124 Related Party Disclosures
The following revised FRS have been issued and are effective for financial periods beginning
on or after 1 July 2007 and will be effective for the Group’s and the Company’s financial
statements for the financial year ending 31 March 2009:-
FRS 107 Cash Flow Statements
FRS 111 Construction Contracts
FRS 112 Income Taxes
FRS 118 Revenue
FRS 121 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
FRS 134 Interim Financial Reporting
FRS 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
FRS 139 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement has been issued and the
effective date has yet to be determined by the MASB. This new standard establishes
principles for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some
contracts to buy and sell non-financial items. The Group and the Company will apply this
standard when it becomes effective.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Critical Accounting Estimates And Judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated by the directors and
management and are based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. The estimates and judgements that affect the application of the
Group’s accounting policies and disclosures, and have a significant risk of causing a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses are discussed below:-
(i) Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment
The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation
charges for the property, plant and equipment are based on commercial and
production factors which could change significantly as a result of technical
innovations and competitors’ actions in response to the market conditions.
The Group anticipates that the residual values of its property, plant and
equipment will be insignificant. As a result, residual values are not being
taken into consideration for the computation of the depreciable amount.
Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could
impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets,
therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.
(ii) Income Taxes
There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax
determination may be different from the initial estimate. The Group
recognises tax liabilities based on its understanding of the prevailing tax laws
and estimates of whether such taxes will be due in the ordinary course of
business. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the
amounts that were initially recognised, such difference will impact the income
tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is
made.
(iii) Impairment of Assets
When the recoverable amount of an asset is determined based on the
estimate of the value-in-use of the cash-generating unit to which the asset is
allocated, the Group is required to make an estimate of the expected future
cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to apply a suitable discount
rate in order to determine the present value of those cash flows.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(a) Critical Accounting Estimates And Judgements (Cont’d)
(iv) Property Development
The Group recognises property development revenue and expenses in the
income statement by using the stage of completion method. The stage of
completion is determined by the proportion that the property development
costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total property
development costs.
Significant judgement is required in determining the stage of completion, the
extent of the property development costs incurred, the estimated total
property development revenue and costs, as well as the recoverability of the
development projects. In making the judgement, the Group evaluates based
on past experience and by relying on the work of specialists.
(v) Construction Contracts
Construction contracts accounting requires reliable estimation of the costs to
complete the contract and reliable estimation of the stage of completion.
(i) Contract Revenue
Construction contracts accounting requires that variation claims and
incentive payments only be recognised as contract revenue to the
extent that it is probable that they will be accepted by the customers. As
the approval process often takes some time, a judgement is required to
be made of its probability and revenue recognised accordingly.
(ii) Contract Costs
Using experience gained on each particular contract and taking into
account the expectations of the time and materials required to
complete the contract, management estimates the profitability of the
contract on an individual basis at any particular time.

(a) Critical Accounting Estimates And Judgements (Cont’d)
(vi) Allowance for Doubtful Debts of Receivables
The Group makes allowance for doubtful debts based on an assessment of
the recoverability of receivables. Allowances are applied to receivables where
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may
not be recoverable. Management analyses historical bad debt, customer
concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and
changes in customer payment terms when making a judgement to evaluate
the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful debts of receivables. Where the
expectation is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact
the carrying value of receivables.
(b) Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group and the
Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the
substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses
relating to a financial instrument classified as a liability, are reported as an expense or
income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are
charged directly to equity.
Financial instruments are offset when the Group and the Company has a legally
enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial instruments recognised in the balance sheet are disclosed in the individual
policy statement associated with each item.

(c) Functional and Foreign Currency
(i) Functional and Presentation Currency
The functional currency of the Group is measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the Group operates.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia
(“RM”) which is the parent’s functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and Balances
Transactions in foreign currency are converted into the respective functional
currencies on initial recognition, using the exchange rates approximating
those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities at the
balance sheet date are translated at the rates ruling as of that date. Non-
monetary assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates that
existed when the values were determined. All exchange differences are taken
to the income statement.
(iii) Foreign Operations
The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into
the presentation currency as follows:-
(i) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated
at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet;
(ii) income and expense for the income statement are translated at the
average exchange rates for the year; and
(iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate
component of equity, as a foreign currency translation reserve. On
disposal, accumulated translation differences are recognised in the
consolidated income statements as part of the gain or loss on sale.

(d) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the
Company and all its subsidiaries made up to 31 March 2007.
A subsidiary is defined as an enterprise in which the Company has the power,
directly or indirectly, to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as
to obtain benefits from its activities.
All subsidiaries are consolidated using the purchase method. Under the purchase
method, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of are included from the date
of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. At the date of acquisition, the fair values of
the subsidiaries’ net assets are determined and these values are reflected in the
consolidated financial statements. The cost of acquisition is measured at the
aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities
incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for
control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business
combination.
Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions are
eliminated; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries
to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group.
(e) Goodwill On Consolidation
Goodwill on consolidation represents the excess of the fair value of the purchase
consideration over the Group's share of the fair values of the identifiable net assets of
the subsidiaries at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. The
carrying value of goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually. The impairment value
of goodwill is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement. An
impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
If, after reassessments, the Group's interest in the fair values of the identifiable net
assets of the subsidiaries exceeds the cost of the business combinations, the excess
is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.

(f) Investments
(i) Investments in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are stated at cost
in the balance sheet of the Company and are reviewed for impairment at the
end of the financial year if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
their carrying values may not be recoverable.
On the disposal of the investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint
ventures, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the investments is taken to the income statement.
(ii) Investments in Club Membership
The investment in club membership is stated at cost and is reviewed for
impairment at the end of the financial year if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recovered.
(g) Associates
An associate is an entity in which the Company has a long-term equity interest and
where it exercises significant influence over the financial and operating policies.
The investments in associates in the consolidated financial statements are accounted
for under the equity method, based on the financial statements of the associates
made up to 31 March 2007. The Company's share of the post acquisition profits of
the associates is included in the consolidated income statement and the Company's
interest in associates is stated at cost plus the Company's share of the post-
acquisition retained profits and reserves.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Company and the associates are
eliminated to the extent of the Company's interest in the associate. Unrealised losses
are eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered.

(h) Investment in Joint Venture
A joint venture represents a business arrangement formed under contract with a
third party to undertake specific projects.
The investment in the joint venture is accounted for using the proportionate
consolidation method whereby assets, liabilities and the income statement of the
joint venture are consolidated in the Group's financial statements in the
proportion of the Group's interest in the venture.
(i) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Freehold land is stated at cost
and is not depreciated.
Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method to write off the cost of the
assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation of an asset does not cease
when the asset becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully
depreciated. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:-
Building Remaining useful life of 20 years
Plant and machinery, construction machinery and
equipment, formwork, scaffoldings and containers 5% - 25%
Office renovation, office equipment, computers,
furniture and fittings, tools and sales office 5% - 20%
Motor vehicles 20%
The depreciation method, useful life and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each balance sheet date to ensure that the amount, method and
period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected
pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of the
property, plant and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no
future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from
derecognition of the asset is included in the income statement in the year the asset is
derecognised.
(j) Land Held for Property Development
Land held for property development is carried at cost less any accumulated
impairment losses. Where land held for property development had previously been
recorded at a revalued amount, the revalued amount is retained as its surrogate
cost.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2007
5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(j) Land Held for Property Development (Cont’d)
Land held for property development is classified as non-current asset where no
development activities are carried out or where development activities are not
expected to be completed within the normal operating cycle.
Costs associated with the acquisition of land include the purchase price of the land,
professional fees, stamp duties, commissions, conversion fees and other relevant
levies. Pre-acquisition costs are charged to the income statement as incurred unless
such costs are directly identifiable to the consequent property development activity.
Land held for property development is transferred to current asset when
development activities have commenced and where it can be demonstrated that the
development activities can be completed within the normal operating cycle.
(k) Impairment of Assets
The carrying values of assets, other than those to which FRS 136 - Impairment of
Assets does not apply, are reviewed at each balance sheet date for impairment
when there is an indication that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is
measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable
amounts. The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of the assets' net
selling price and their value-in-use, which is measured by reference to discounted
future cash flow.
An impairment loss is charged to the income statement immediately unless the
asset is carried at its revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is
treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of a previously recognised
revaluation surplus for the same asset.
In respect of assets other than goodwill, and when there is a change in the
estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in
the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the previous
impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the
asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had
no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the income
statement immediately, unless the asset is carried at its revalued amount. A
reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited directly to the
revaluation surplus. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same
revalued asset was previously recognised as an expense in the income
statement, a reversal of that impairment loss is recognised as income in the
income statement.

(l) Assets under Hire Purchase
Property, plant and equipment acquired under hire purchase are capitalised in the
financial statements and are depreciated in accordance with the policy set out in
Note 5(i) above. Each hire purchase payment is allocated between the liability and
finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance
outstanding. Finance charges are allocated to the income statement over the
periods of the respective hire purchase agreements.
(m) Investment Properties
Investment properties are property held either to earn rental income or for capital
appreciation or for both. Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, if any, consistent with the accounting policy for
property, plant and equipment as stated in the financial statements.
Investment properties are derecognised when they have either been disposed of or
when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future
benefit is expected from its disposal.
On the derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged to the income statement.
(n) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The unsold
completed properties are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. For
finished goods and work-in-progress, cost includes direct labour and appropriate
production overheads.
The cost of unsold completed properties comprises the relevant cost of land,
development expenditure and related interest cost incurred during the development
period.
In arriving at net realisable value, due allowance is made for all damaged, obsolete
and slow-moving items.

(o) Property Development Costs
Property development costs comprise costs associated with the acquisition of land
and all costs that are directly attributable to development activities or that can be
allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities.
Property development costs that are not recognised as an expense are
recognised as an asset and carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
When the financial outcome of a development activity can be reliably estimated,
the amount of property revenues and expenses recognised in the income
statement are determined by reference to the stage of completion of development
activity at the balance sheet date.
When the financial outcome of a development activity cannot be reliably
estimated, the property development revenue is recognised only to the extent of
property development costs incurred that will be recoverable. The property
development costs on the development units sold are recognised as an expense
in the period in which they are incurred.
Where it is probable that property development costs will exceed property
development revenue, any expected loss is recognised as an expense in the income
statement immediately, including costs to be incurred over the defects liability period.
(p) Progress Billings/Accrued Billings
In respect of progress billings:-
(i) where revenue recognised in the income statement exceeds the billings to
purchasers, the balance is shown as accrued billings under current assets;
and
(ii) where billings to purchasers exceed the revenue recognised to the income
statement, the balance is shown as progress billings under current liabilities.
(q) Amount Owing By/To Contract Customers
The amount owing by/to contract customers is stated at cost plus profits attributable
to contracts in progress less progress billings and allowance for foreseeable losses, if
any. Cost includes direct materials, labour and applicable overheads.

(r) Receivables
Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. Bad debts are written off in
the period in which they are identified. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based
on a review of all outstanding amounts at the balance sheet date.
(s) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand
deposits, deposits pledged with financial institutions, bank overdrafts and short term,
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(t) Payables
Payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in
the future for goods and services received.
(u) Interest-bearing Borrowings
Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the amount of proceeds
received, net of transaction costs.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of
development properties and property, plant and equipment are capitalised as part of
the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are ready for their intended use
or sale. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended during extended periods in
which active development is interrupted.
All other borrowing costs are charged to the income statement as an expense in the
period in which they are incurred.
(v) Bonds
Bonds issued by the Company and the Group are initially recognised based on
proceeds received, net of issuance expenses incurred and are adjusted in
subsequent years for amortisation of premium and/or accretion of discount to
maturity, using the effective yield method. The premium amortised and/or discount
accreted is recognised in the income statement over the period of the bonds.

(w) Income Taxes
Income taxes on the profit or loss for the financial year comprises current and
deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect
of the taxable profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been
enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxation is provided in full, using the liability method, on all material
temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts in the financial statements.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences other than
those that arise from goodwill or excess of the acquirer's interest in the net fair value
of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the
business combination costs or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a
transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction,
affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused
tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax
losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the
tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except when it arises from a
transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is
also charged or credited directly to equity, or when it arises from a business
combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the
resulting goodwill or excess of the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the
acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the business
combination costs. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax
assets to be utilised.

(x) Equity Instruments
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the
issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from
proceeds.
Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when approved for
appropriation.
(y) Employee Benefits
(i) Short-term Benefits
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave, bonuses and social security contributions
are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services
are rendered by employees of the Group. Short-term accumulating
compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when
services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future
compensated absences, and short-term non-accumulating compensated
absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.
(ii) Defined Contribution Plans
The Group’s contributions to a defined contribution plan are charged to the
income statement in the period to which they relate. Once the contributions
have been paid, the Group has no further liability in respect of the defined
contribution plan. A foreign subsidiary of the Group makes contributions to its
respective country’s pension schemes. Such contributions are recognised as
an expense in the income statement as incurred.
(z) Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and
whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. It can also be a
present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not
probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of
obligation cannot be measured reliably.
A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow
is probable, it will then be recognised as a provision.

(z) Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Cont’d)
A contingent asset is a probable asset that arises from past events and whose
existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Company.
(aa) Revenue Recognition
(i) Construction Contracts
Revenue on contracts is recognised on the percentage of completion
method unless the outcome of the contract cannot be reliably determined,
in which case revenue on contracts is only recognised to the extent of
contract costs incurred that are recoverable. Foreseeable losses, if any,
are provided for in full as and when it can be reasonably ascertained that
the contract will result in a loss.
The stage of completion is determined based on surveys of work performed.
(ii) Property Development
Revenue from property development is recognised from the sale of
completed and uncompleted development properties.
Revenue from the sale of completed properties is recognised when the sale is
contracted.
Revenue on uncompleted properties contracted for sale is recognised based
on the stage of completion method unless the outcome of the development
cannot be reliably determined in which case the revenue on the development
is only recognised to the extent of development costs incurred that are
recoverable.
The stage of completion is determined based on the proportion that the
development costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated
total development costs.
(iii) Revenue from Sale of Goods
Sales are recognised upon delivery of goods and customers’ acceptance,
and where applicable, net of returns and trade discounts.

(aa) Revenue Recognition (Cont’d)
(iv) Revenue from Services
Revenue is recognised upon rendering of services and when the outcome of
the transaction can be estimated reliably. In the event the outcome of the
transaction could not be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised to the
extent of the expenses incurred that are recoverable.
(v) Management Fee and Administrative Charges
Management fee and administrative charges are recognised on an accrual
basis.
(vi) Rental Income
Rental income is recognised on an accrual basis.
(vii) Dividend Income
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the right to receive
payment is established.
(viii) Interest Income
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis, based on the effective
yield on the investment.
Interest income on late payment is recognised on a receipt basis.
(ab) Segmental Information
Segment revenues and expenses are those directly attributable to the segments and
include any joint revenue and expenses where a reasonable basis of allocation
exists. Segment assets include all assets used by a segment and consist principally
of property, plant and equipment (net of accumulated depreciation, where
applicable), other investments, inventories, receivables, and cash and bank
balances.
Most segment assets can be directly attributed to the segments on a reasonable
basis. Segment assets and liabilities do not include income tax assets and liabilities
respectively.
Segment revenues, expenses and results include transfers between segments. The
prices charged on intersegment transactions are based on normal commercial terms.
These transfers are eliminated on consolidation.
