1.	Basis of Preparation

The interim financial report is unaudited and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 134 - Interim Financial Reporting and Paragraph 9.22 of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“BMSB”). The interim financial report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended 31 March 2006. 

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of the interim financial report are consistent with those adopted in the audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 March 2006, except for the adoption of the following new and revised FRS effective for the financial period beginning on 1 January 2006:

FRS 2	Share-based Payment	
FRS 3	Business Combination	
FRS 5	Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations	
FRS 101	Presentation of Financial Statements	
FRS 102	Inventories	
FRS 108	Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors	
FRS 110	Events After Balance Sheet Date	
FRS 116	Property, Plant and Equipment	
FRS 121	The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates	
FRS 127	Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements	
FRS 128	Investments in Associates	
FRS 131	Interests in Joint Ventures	
FRS 132	Financial Instruments: Disclosures and Presentation	
FRS 133	Earnings Per Share	
FRS 136	Impairment of Assets	
FRS 138	Intangible Assets	
FRS 140	Investment Property	

The adoption of FRS 2, 5,101, 102, 108,110, 116, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 133, 136 and 138 do not have significant financial impact on the Group. The principal effects of the changes in accounting policies resulting from adoption of the new/revised FRSs are discussed below:

FRS 3: Business Combination
Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses and is now tested for impairment annually. Any impairment loss is recognized in profit and loss and subsequent reversal is not allowed.

Under FRS 3, any excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of acquirees’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisitions (previously referred to as “negative goodwill”), after reassessment, is now recognized immediately in profit or loss. Prior to 1 January 2006, the Group has reflected the negative goodwill as reserves on consolidation under equity. In accordance with transitional provisions of FRS 3, the carrying amount of reserves on consolidation amounting to RM2,633,235 has been derecognized to opening retained profits.

FRS 140: Investment Property
The adoption of this new FRS has resulted in certain properties of the Group which are held for rental to external parties previously classified under property, plant and equipment amounting to RM160,000 being reclassified to investment properties.  Investment properties are stated at fair value and gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Prior to 1 January 2006, the properties were stated at valuation. Revaluations were carried out at least once every five years. Any revaluation increase is taken to equity as a revaluation surplus and any deficit arising is offset against the revaluation reserve to the extend of a previous increase for the same property.
