financial year ended 30 April 2004 was RM46.2 million. The variance is mainly attributable to the lower ridership<br />

revenues collected from KL Monorail operations. This is because, whilst full operations were assumed from<br />

commencement date, in the Prospectus, actual operating hours were initially from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. This was<br />

OVERVIEW<br />

Financial Performance<br />

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT<br />

KL Infrastructure Group Berhad (Company No. 425654-M) (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiaries<br />

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I present the Annual Report of KL Infrastructure Group<br />

Berhad (the “Company”) and the Group (“Group”) for the year ended 30 April 2004.<br />

The financial year 2004 saw the inaugural opening on 31<br />

August 2003 of the much awaited “Missing Link” public<br />

transit connection, the KL Monorail. Revenues from<br />

collection of ridership fares demonstrate positive growth<br />

since opening whilst strong contribution from the<br />

media/advertisement sector were instrumental in achieving<br />

an operating profit before interest and taxation of RM3.1<br />

million in its maiden year of operation.<br />

The Company achieved revenues of RM15 million and suffer<br />

a loss after taxation of RM46.2 million due to the accrual<br />

of interest expense. A negative variance of RM4.2 million<br />

was noted when compared against the forecasted loss after<br />

taxation of RM42 million as reported in the Company’s<br />

Prospectus, attributable largely to lower ridership revenues<br />

achieved.<br />

CORE BUSINESSES<br />

Monorail Transit Operations<br />

Operations commenced on 31 August 2003. Initial<br />

operating hours were from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This was<br />

progressively extended to 15 hours and finally 18 hours<br />

from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight effective from 15 June<br />

2004. Consequently, revenues were significantly lower as<br />

against those forecasted earlier pursuant to the Company’s<br />

Prospectus dated 21 April 2003 in relation to the<br />

Company’s initial public offer exercise.<br />

The delay with the integration of the public transportation<br />

systems comprising the LRTs and city bus services in the<br />

Klang Valley has delayed the introduction of a single<br />

integrated ticketing system, integration of physical<br />

interphases between the LRTs and monorail and the<br />

proposed implementation of car restraining measures,<br />

earlier contemplated by the authorities to curb the<br />

deteriorating traffic congestion. This delay inevitably has<br />

affected the monorail ridership as otherwise the integrated<br />

transport system would promote and enhance public<br />

transport usage.<br />

During the year, KL Monorail organized a treasure hunt<br />

known as the “KL Monorail-Malay Mail Rail-ly Fun Hunt”<br />

which saw overwhelming response. Participation was<br />

however limited to 200 persons. Held on 17 December<br />

2003, it was a great learning experience for the<br />

participants as they were required to undertake some<br />

arduous tasks and to have a good grasp of the monorail<br />

alignment and its surroundings in the principal commercial<br />

and employment belt of Kuala Lumpur.<br />

KL Monorail’s first anniversary on 31st August 2004 which<br />

coincided with Merdeka Day was a significant milestone.<br />

On that auspicious day gifts valued at more than<br />

RM100,000.00 was distributed to lucky passengers at<br />

various monorail stations. This small gesture on KL<br />

Monorail’s part was to show its gratitude and to thank the<br />

more than 10 million passengers that passed through our<br />

monorail station turnstiles since inauguration, one (1) year<br />

ago.


Efforts are on the way to continue improving the monorail’s<br />

reliability, safety and efficiency in its services with cost<br />

optimization and productivity enhancements. As a<br />

responsible corporate citizen, KL Monorail is committed to<br />

providing better services with more amenities to enhance<br />

mobility and lifestyle of the populace. More information on<br />

its services and activities are available at its website<br />

http://www.monorail.com.my.<br />

Media/Advertisement Services<br />

Due to its strategic alignment and prominent profile, the KL<br />

Monorail is a preferred choice for many advertisers. Strong<br />

contribution from revenues derived from advertisement<br />

services via stations, columns, viaducts, trains, ticketing<br />

machines and plasma screens have exceeded expectations.<br />

Revenues are expected to surpass RM12 million in the next<br />

financial year.<br />

The KL Monorail trains with its sleek aerodynamic shape<br />

coupled with striking multiple hues and artistic intonations<br />

have been quoted as one of the world’s best looking urban<br />

monorails, by the President of the Monorail Society, an<br />

organization based in America.<br />

Notable advertisers include Malaysia Airline System,<br />

Telekom Malaysia, Prudential Assurance, Maxis Hotlink,<br />

Coca-Cola, Timedot.com, MAA Assurance, NEC Corporation,<br />

Acer, Allianz General Insurance, AmBank, HSBC Bank<br />

Malaysia Bhd, Cathay Pacific, Energiser, etc.<br />

With capacities largely taken up on the physical<br />

infrastructures, increasing efforts will be focused to<br />

generate more media content on the plasma displays<br />

featured on screens prominently displayed at all the<br />

monorail stations.<br />

KL Lifestyle, a monthly magazine published by Monorail<br />

Multimedia Sdn Bhd and dedicated to the citylites, made its<br />

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT<br />

KL Infrastructure Group Berhad (Company No. 425654-M) (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiaries<br />

debut on 1 May 2004 in Kuala Lumpur. With a current<br />

circulation of 80,000, the KL Lifestyle is distributed to all<br />

major hotels, KLIA Express, selected restaurants, popular<br />

cafes and coffee chains, leisure and entertainment outlets,<br />

selected spas and hair salons in the city. It is also<br />

distributed by MPH Distributor Sdn Bhd to major<br />

bookstores. Its vibrant content focuses on what’s on, what’s<br />

cool and what’s special around Kuala Lumpur. KL Lifestyle<br />

Property Development<br />

Jalan-Jalan Xintiandi<br />

Complementing the lifestyle concept, the Jalan-Jalan<br />

Xintiandi development located next to the Tun Sambanthan<br />

monorail station was conceptualized to provide an oasis of<br />

food, fashion and fun that promote riverine activities<br />

fashioned after the San Antonio River Walk in Texas, Canal<br />

City in Fukuoka, Japan and Xintiandi in Shanghai.<br />

With completion now expected in the second quarter of<br />

2005, this development directly served by the KL Monorail<br />

will merge the transportation hub, KL Sentral with the<br />

revitalized landscape promulgated under the urban renewal<br />

development in Brickfields.<br />

Designed specially to provide a leisure ambiance in a<br />

pedestrian friendly and festive retail environment<br />

connected by a man-made canal, Jalan-Jalan Xintiandi<br />

offers exciting new retailing, food and entertainment<br />

opportunities. Its river arcade, open air alfresco dining and<br />

festive like outdoor activities will endear visitors and<br />

tourists alike to a new found experience.<br />

CORPORATE STRATEGIES<br />

Implementation and Operation of Monorail Transit<br />

Systems<br />

Consistent with the Government’s call for the private sector<br />

to be the engine of economic growth, MTrans Holdings Sdn<br />

Bhd (“MTrans”) the Company’s holding company, has been<br />

relentlessly pursuing potential monorail system projects in<br />

more than twelve countries with potential values of US<br />

Dollars 5 billion. MTrans is one of only three urban transit<br />

monorail manufacturers in the world after Bombardier of<br />

Canada and Hitachi of Japan.<br />

Recent efforts have borne fruit with the crystallization of<br />

an Agreement concluded on 8 September 2004 between<br />

the Company, Monorail Malaysia Technology Sdn Bhd<br />

(“MMT” a wholly owned subsidiary of MTrans) and the<br />

Gangnam District of Seoul, Korea to establish a joint<br />

venture company to implement a 6.7 km monorail transit<br />

system in Gangnam on a privatization basis. The proposed<br />

system costing US Dollars 175 million will complement the<br />

extensive subway system currently serving Gangnam, with<br />

a population of 550,000 and the city of Seoul of 10 million.<br />

The Company will be the designated project manager and<br />

system integrator for the project and MMT will be the<br />

turnkey monorail system supplier.<br />

The Gangnam District has shown its strong backing for the<br />

project by the provision of a subsidy of 40% of the total<br />

project cost and will subscribe up to 25% equity interest in<br />

the joint venture company. The balance of the project cost<br />

will be funded by a combination of equity and external<br />

borrowings. The project is subject to approvals of the<br />

relevant Korean and Malaysian Authorities. The final terms<br />

and conditions of the joint venture will be formalised<br />

between the joint venture partners upon the finalisation of<br />

the Concession Agreement.<br />

Putrajaya Monorail Line 1 upon its completion will serve as<br />

the public transportation backbone of Putrajaya City in<br />

accordance with its transport masterplan. With the<br />

completion of more than 4km of tunnels, Western Transport<br />

Terminal and the soon to be completed, Western Monorail<br />

Crossing all serving the Putrajaya monorail alignment, only<br />

the elevated structures and the monorail system remains<br />

uncompleted.<br />

The recent announcement of the deferral of the project has<br />

setbacked plans for an earlier completion date. This project<br />

upon completion would have provided another platform for<br />

KL Monorail to contribute its expertise in monorail transit<br />

operations. However, with traffic congestion building up in<br />

Putrajaya it is anticipated that the project will recommence<br />

soon.<br />

Extension of KL Monorail Alignment<br />

New extensions to the KL Monorail alignment that<br />

demonstrate strong economic viability are being evaluated.<br />

A case in point is the proposed shuttle line from Tun<br />

Sambanthan Station to Mid Valley which is part of the<br />

extended spurline provided for under the current KL<br />

Monorail concession. Approval from the authorities are<br />

currently being sought.<br />

The huge captive patronage at Mid Valley would serve to<br />

enhance monorail riderships. Consideration would also be<br />

given on future extension to Old Klang Road and Puchong.<br />

Other alignment extension could encompass inner-city<br />

loops covering KLCC and other places of interest with high<br />

traffic densities.


Intercity/Stage Bus Services<br />

In its efforts to diversify its portfolio of businesses, the<br />

Company entered into several agreements to acquire 70%<br />

equity interests in Mutiara Pahim Sdn. Bhd., Mekar Express<br />

Sdn. Bhd., Ballan Sdn. Bhd., Eltabina Jaya Sdn. Bhd. and<br />

Darul Naim Express Sdn. Bhd. for a total consideration of<br />

RM11.6 million. The said acquisitions would enable the<br />

Company to establish a foothold in the express bus services<br />

industry. The aforesaid acquisitions are subject to the<br />

Foreign Investment Committee approval.<br />

Darul Naim Express Sdn Bhd, which has been granted<br />

licenses for operation of mini buses and stage buses to<br />

service Kota Bharu and surrounding areas, expects good<br />

response upon commencement of services due to increased<br />

economic activities and the growing demand in public<br />

transportation. Currently, there is only one existing stage<br />

bus operator in Kelantan. Further, the development of new<br />

townships within Kota Bharu would hasten the need for an<br />

effective and efficient bus network to serve the areas.<br />

OUTLOOK<br />

With positive signs of a firm economic recovery at the global<br />

front coupled with higher commodity prices, domestic<br />

growth is expected to be more broad based. The “feel good”<br />

factor is fueling further improvement in consumer and<br />

business sentiment. Private sector led growth is gaining<br />

momentum, particularly with the Government playing a key<br />

role in establishing new sources of growth.<br />

The services sector represents the largest component of<br />

GDP with a share of 57% and tourism related industries<br />

continue to generate significant growth in terms of output<br />

and foreign exchange earnings.<br />

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT<br />

KL Infrastructure Group Berhad (Company No. 425654-M) (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiaries<br />

The strong influx of tourists and visitors to Kuala Lumpur<br />

serves to increase KL Monorail patronage. Increasingly, the<br />

KL Monorail is considered the principal transportation<br />

backbone for the commercial and shopping district of Kuala<br />

Lumpur. Ridership should continue to trend upwards as the<br />

convenience and mobility accorded by the KL Monorail<br />

provide the impetus for lifestyle changes and increased<br />

productivity. The KL Monorail with its dominant alignment<br />

continues to attract strong interest in its advertisement<br />

media.<br />

The potential participation in MTrans’ international<br />

monorail transit projects angurs well for the Group’s future<br />

prospects.<br />

DIVIDEND<br />

The Directors do not recommend the payment of any<br />

dividend for the financial year ended 30 April 2004.<br />

APPRECIATION<br />

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express<br />

our appreciation to the management and staff for their<br />

immense contribution and services during the year and our<br />

gratitude as well to our business partners, bankers and<br />

customers for their understanding and cooperation.<br />

We are indeed appreciative of the advice and support<br />

provided by the regulatory authorities in particular the<br />

Department of Railway and the Ministry of Transport.<br />

To the shareholders, we thank you for your support and<br />

seek your continued trust and confidence in our Group.<br />

Thank you.<br />

STATEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL<br />

KL Infrastructure Group Berhad (Company No. 425654-M) (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiaries<br />

18<br />

Introduction<br />

The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance sets out as a principle that the Board of a listed company should maintain<br />

a sound system of internal control to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the Group’s assets. Paragraph 15.27(b) of the<br />

<strong>Bursa</strong> Malaysia Securities Berhad (formerly known as Malaysia Securities Exchange Berhad) (“<strong>Bursa</strong> Securities”) Listing<br />

Requirements require the Board of Directors to include a statement in its annual report on the state of internal control of<br />

the listed issuer as a Group.<br />

The Board is pleased to provide the following statement which outlines the nature and scope of internal controls during<br />

the year.<br />

Board’s responsibilities<br />

The Board has overall responsibility for the Group’s system of internal control and for reviewing its effectiveness whilst the<br />

role of management is to implement the Board’s policies on risk and control.<br />

The system of internal control is designed to safeguard shareholders’ investments and the Group’s assets. The system is also<br />

designed to provide reasonable assurance of effective operations and compliance with laws and regulations. However, due<br />

to the limitations inherent in any system of internal control, it should be noted that such a system is designed to manage<br />

rather than eliminate the risk of failure in achieving the Group’s business objectives and can only provide reasonable and<br />

not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The system of internal control mainly covers risk relating to<br />

the construction and operations of the KL Monorail and advertisement services as these were the main activities of the<br />

Group during the year.<br />

Enterprise risk management framework<br />

The Board has commenced the process of formalising an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing<br />

significant risks faced by the Group. As part of the process, an Audit Committee, a Nomination Committee and a<br />

Remuneration Committee, all of which have a minimum of two independent Directors were established during the year.<br />

The existing key processes and elements of the Group’s internal control system include the following:<br />

• Each operating business unit in the companies within the Group has their own management who are responsible for the<br />

maintenance of controls and procedures appropriate to the business environment.<br />

• An organisational structure is in place, which shows the reporting lines of management and operating units of the Group.<br />

• Key policies and procedures governing the operating units of the Group have been translated into operational manuals<br />

and guidelines. The manuals are reviewed and approved by the respective heads of department before implementation.<br />

Ongoing training is provided for operational staff to understand the operational manuals and guidelines in order to<br />

perform their duties effectively.<br />

Options granted over unissued shares<br />

No options were granted to any person to take up unissued shares of the Company during the financial year.<br />

Other statutory information<br />

Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps to<br />

ascertain that:<br />

i) all known bad debts have been written off and adequate provision made for doubtful debts, and<br />

ii) all current assets have been stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.<br />

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:<br />

i) that would render the amount written off for bad debts, or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts, in the<br />

Group and in the Company inadequate to any substantial extent, or<br />

ii) that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the Group and in the Company financial statements<br />

misleading, or<br />

iii) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group<br />

and of the Company misleading or inappropriate, or<br />

iv) not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements, that would render any amount stated in the<br />

financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.<br />

At the date of this report, there does not exist:<br />

i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year which<br />

secures the liabilities of any other person, or<br />

ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year.<br />

No contingent liability or other liability of any company in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely to become<br />

enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will<br />

or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and of the Company to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.<br />

In the opinion of the Directors, the results of the operations of the Group and the Company for the financial year ended 30<br />

April 2004 have not been substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature nor has<br />

any such item, transaction or event occurred in the interval between the end of that financial year and the date of this report.<br />

Report of the auditors to the members of KL Infrastructure Group Berhad<br />

We have audited the financial statements set out on pages 27 to 52. The preparation of the financial statements is the<br />

responsibility of the Company’s Directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our<br />

audit.<br />

We conducted our audit in accordance with approved Standards on Auditing in Malaysia. These standards require that we plan<br />

and perform the audit to obtain all the information and explanations which we consider necessary to provide us with evidence<br />

to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on<br />

a test basis, evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes an assessment<br />

of the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Directors as well as evaluating the overall adequacy<br />

of the presentation of information in the financial statements. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.<br />

In our opinion:<br />

(a) the financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and<br />

applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of:<br />

i) the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company at 30 April 2004 and the results of their operations and cash<br />

flows for the year ended on that date; and<br />

ii) the matters required by Section 169 of the Companies Act, 1965 to be dealt with in the financial statements of<br />

the Group and of the Company; and<br />

(b) the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Companies Act, 1965 to be kept by the Company<br />

and the subsidiaries of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of<br />

the said Act.<br />

The subsidiary in respect of which we have not acted as auditors is identified in Note 4 to the financial statements and we<br />

have considered its financial statements and the auditors’ report thereon.<br />

We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the Company’s financial<br />

statements are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the consolidated financial<br />

statements and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required by us for those purposes.<br />

The audit reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification and did not include<br />

any comment made under subsection (3) of Section 174 of the Act.<br />

The Group has net current liabilities of RM30,600,000 (2003 - RM192,500,000) as at 30 April 2004. The validity of<br />

the going concern assumption is based on the following:<br />

KL Infrastructure Group Bhd Annual Report 2004<br />

i) the Company had completed its initial public offering exercise on 28 May 2003. A major portion of the proceeds<br />

raised from the initial public offering was used to repay the Group’s short term borrowing amounting to<br />

RM95,000,000 during the year ; and<br />

ii) KL Monorail System Sdn. Bhd. has been awarded a concession on a build, operate and transfer basis of an<br />

elevated monorail system called the KL Monorail, which commenced operations on 31 August 2003. The<br />

Directors are confident that the KL Monorail will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet the Group’s<br />

day-to-day working capital requirements as well as meeting the Group’s borrowings obligations.<br />

The Directors expect the Group and Company to be able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the Group and<br />

Company’s obligations and their views are based on the Group and Company’s operational plans and on discussions<br />

with the Group and Company’s advisers but, inherently, there can be no certainty in relation to those views. These<br />

financial statements do not contain any adjustments which would arise should the going concern basis used in the<br />

preparation of the financial statements prove to be invalid.<br />

(b) Basis of consolidation<br />

Subsidiaries are those enterprises controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power,<br />

directly or indirectly to govern the financial and operating policies of the enterprise so as to obtain benefits from<br />

its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiary company are included in the consolidated financial<br />

statements from the date that control effectively commences until the date that control effectively ceases. The<br />

subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting.<br />

A subsidiary is excluded from consolidation when either control is intended to be temporary if the subsidiary is<br />

acquired and held exclusively with a view of its subsequent disposal in the near future and it has not previously<br />

been consolidated or it operates under severe long term restrictions which significantly impair its ability to transfer<br />

funds to the Company. Subsidiaries excluded on these grounds are accounted for as investments.<br />

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the results of the subsidiaries acquired or disposed during the year<br />

are included from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. At the date of acquisition, the fair values


1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)<br />

of the subsidiaries’ net assets are determined and these values are reflected in the Group financial statements. The<br />

difference between the acquisition cost and the fair values of the subsidiaries’ net assets is reflected as goodwill<br />

or negative goodwill as appropriate.<br />

Intragroup transactions and balances and the resulting unrealised profits are eliminated on consolidation.<br />

Unrealised losses resulting from intragroup transactions are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered.<br />

(c) Associates<br />

Associates are those enterprises in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial<br />

and operating policies.<br />

The consolidated financial statements include the total recognised gains and losses of associates on an equity<br />

accounted basis from the date that significant influence effectively commences until the date that significant<br />

influence effectively ceases.<br />

Unrealised profits arising on transactions between the Group and its associates which are included in the carrying<br />

amount of the related assets and liabilities are eliminated partially to the extent of the Group’s interests in the<br />

associates. Unrealised losses on such transactions are also eliminated partially unless cost cannot be recovered.<br />

Goodwill on acquisition is calculated based on the fair value of net assets acquired.<br />

(d) Property, plant and equipment<br />

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.<br />

The monorail development expenditure, which is carried at cost less impairment losses, comprises<br />

expenditure incurred in the development of the KL Monorail including interest charges relating to financing<br />

of the development. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance<br />

with Note 1(l).<br />

Property, plant and equipment retired from active use and held for disposal are stated at the carrying amount at<br />

the date when the asset is retired from active use, less impairment losses, if any.<br />

Depreciation<br />

KL Infrastructure Group Berhad<br />

The straight-line method is used to write off the cost of the assets over the term of their estimated useful lives at<br />

the following principal annual rates:<br />

Motor vehicles 20%<br />

Office renovations 20%<br />

Column billboards and equipment 10% - 20%<br />

Electrical works 20%<br />

Furniture, fittings and office equipment 10% - 20%<br />

Computers 20%<br />

(Company No. 425654-M) (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiaries<br />

The expenditure incurred for monorail development expenditure will be amortised over the remaining period of the<br />

Concession in proportion to earned and projected revenue from the operations of the KL Monorail.<br />

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)<br />

(e) Intangible asset<br />

Goodwill / Negative goodwill<br />

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the net identifiable assets acquired<br />

and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses.<br />

Negative goodwill represents the excess of the fair values of the net identifiable assets acquired over the cost of<br />

the acquisition and is carried at cost.<br />

(f) Investments<br />

Investments in subsidiaries and associate are stated at cost in the Company less impairment losses, where<br />

applicable. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 1(l).<br />

(g) Trade and other receivables<br />

Trade and other receivables are stated at cost less allowance for doubtful debts.<br />

(h) Employee benefits<br />

Short term benefits<br />

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated<br />

services are rendered by employees of the Company. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid<br />

annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future<br />

compensated absences and short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised<br />

when the absences occur.<br />

Defined contribution plan<br />

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plan are recognised as an expense in the income statement as<br />

incurred.<br />

(i) Liabilities<br />

Borrowings, trade and other payables and amount due to holding company are stated at cost.<br />

(j) Hire purchase<br />

Property, plant and equipment acquired under hire purchase arrangements are capitalised and the corresponding<br />

obligations are treated as liabilities. Finance charges of hire purchase are charged to the income statement on the<br />

sum-of-digits basis over the term of the arrangements.<br />

(k) Cash and cash equivalents<br />

KL Infrastructure Group Bhd Annual Report 2004<br />

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances with banks, deposits at call and short term liquid<br />

investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in value.


1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)<br />

(l) Impairment<br />

The carrying amount of the assets, other than financial assets (other than investment in subsidiaries and associate),<br />

are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such<br />

indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the<br />

carrying amount of an asset or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs exceeds its recoverable amount.<br />

Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.<br />

The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and its value in use. In assessing value in use,<br />

estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current<br />

market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not<br />

generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to<br />

which the asset belongs.<br />

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed unless the loss was caused by a specific external event of<br />

an exceptional nature that is not expected to recur and subsequent external events have occurred that reverse the<br />

effect of that event.<br />

In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to<br />

determine the recoverable amount.<br />

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable<br />

amount. It is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that<br />

would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. The<br />

reversal is recognised in the income statement.<br />

(m) Capitalisation of borrowing costs<br />

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of the KL Monorail project are capitalised<br />

at their respective effective interest rates as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are ready<br />

for their intended use or sale. Capitalisation will cease when the assets are ready for their intended use.<br />

(n) Income tax<br />

KL Infrastructure Group Berhad<br />

(Company No. 425654-M) (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiaries<br />

Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income<br />

statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised<br />

in equity.<br />

Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or<br />

substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.<br />

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets<br />

and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Temporary differences are not recognised for<br />

goodwill not deductible for tax purposes and the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that at the time of the<br />

transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the<br />

expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted<br />

or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.<br />

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available<br />

against which the asset can be utilised.<br />

(o) Foreign currency<br />

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Ringgit Malaysia at rates of exchange ruling at the date of the<br />

transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are<br />

translated to Ringgit Malaysia at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising<br />

on translation are recognised in the income statement.<br />

The closing rates used in the translation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are as follows:<br />

(p) Revenue<br />

1 Pound Sterling RM6.75 (2003 – RM6.00)<br />

1 Euro RM4.55 (2003 – RM4.22)<br />

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to<br />

the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. In addition, revenue from the following source is<br />

recognised when the conditions attached are met:<br />

i) Ridership income<br />

Ridership fares are recognised upon sale of the fare ticket.<br />

ii) Advertising sales<br />

Revenue from advertising billings is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable and is<br />

recognised in the income statement as it accrues.<br />

iii) Sale of advertisement rights<br />

Recognised based on agreed contractual undertaking within the Group. The contractual undertaking specifies<br />

a minimum guaranteed amount of revenue which recognition is based on a time apportioned basis.<br />

iv) Interest income<br />

(q) Expenses<br />

Recognised in the income statement as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the asset.<br />

i) Operating lease payments<br />

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over<br />

the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of<br />

the total lease payments made.<br />

ii) Financing costs<br />

KL Infrastructure Group Bhd Annual Report 2004<br />

(Company No. 425654-M) (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiaries<br />

All interest and other costs incurred in connection with borrowings are expensed as incurred. The interest<br />

component of hire purchase payments is recognised in the income statement so as to give a constant periodic<br />

rate of interest on the outstanding liability at the end of each accounting period.

The recognised deferred tax liabilities are as follows:<br />

Group<br />

2004 2003<br />

RM’000 RM’000<br />

Property, plant and equipment 184 89<br />

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets<br />

against current tax liabilities and where the deferred taxes relate to the same tax authority.<br />

No deferred tax has been recognised for the following items :<br />

Group<br />

2004 2003<br />

RM’000 RM’000<br />

Unutilised tax losses 46,708 -<br />

Unabsorbed capital allowances 256 -<br />

46,964 -<br />

The unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances of the respective subsidiaries do not expire under current<br />

tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these because it is not probable that future<br />

taxable profits will be available against which certain subsidiaries of the Group can utilise the benefits. In addition, the<br />

Group has unutilised investment tax allowances of RM581,300,000 (2003 – RM544,800,000).<br />

Litigation<br />

i) On 7 March 2003, a legal suit was filed by an individual (“Plaintiff”) against MTrans Holdings Sdn. Bhd., Monorail<br />

Malaysia Technology Sdn. Bhd., KLMS and the Director General of Railways for a sum of RM5 Million for alleged<br />

negligence on the part of KLMS and the said parties, which is claimed to have resulted in injuries to him. The<br />

plaintiff is also claiming RM5,000 per month for future medical expenses and special damages of RM20,000.<br />

KLMS, who was named the second defendant in the said suit, has referred the matter to its insurers and/or legal<br />

advisers to undertake its defence to the legal proceedings. On 15 January 2004, the Plaintiff has taken out an<br />

application for interim payments which is fixed for hearing on 20 September 2004. The Company’s insurer’s legal<br />

advisors are preparing an affidavit to oppose this application.<br />

On 31 May 2004, MTrans Holdings Sdn. Bhd. has secured its release as a party to the legal suit via a successful<br />

application to the High Court.<br />

The Directors are of the opinion that there is in place adequate insurance coverage under KLMS’ Third Party<br />

Liability policy to address any contingency claims that may arise. Accordingly, no provision has been made and no<br />

adjustment was made to the financial statements.<br />

ii) Subsequent to the year end, on 21 June 2004, a legal suit has been filed by a third party seeking RM74.9 million<br />

in special damages from KLMS for alleged breach of the Master Tenancy Agreement relating to the tenancy of all<br />

the retail outlets of the monorail stations. The solicitors have on behalf of KLMS filed a defence and counterclaim<br />

on 27 July 2004. The Directors are of the opinion that KL Monorail System Sdn Bhd has sustainable defences to<br />

the Plaintiff’s claim.<br />

24. Changes in accounting policies<br />

In the current financial year, the Group and the Company adopted four new MASB Standards. The adoption of these<br />

new standards resulted in changes in accounting policies as follows:-<br />

i) MASB 25, Income Taxes and MASB 29, Employee Benefits, which have been adopted retrospectively. The<br />

adoption of these standards has no material impact on the financial statements;<br />

ii) MASB 27, Borrowing Costs have been adopted retrospectively. Comparative figures have not been restated as<br />

the previous policy was in line with the accounting standard; and<br />

iii) MASB 28, Discontinuing Operations, which is applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard has no impact<br />

on the financial statements.<br />

The adoption of MASB 25 has resulted in the recognition in full of all taxable temporary differences. Previously, deferred<br />

tax liabilities were not provided if no liability was expected to arise in the foreseeable future and there were no indications<br />

the timing differences would reverse thereafter. Deferred tax assets are now recognised when it is probable that future<br />

taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilised (previously only recognised where<br />

there was a reasonable expectation of realisation in the near future).<br />

25. Financial instruments<br />

Financial risk management objectives and policies<br />

Exposure to credit, interest rate, currency and liquidity risk arises in the normal course of the Group and Company’s<br />

business. The management of these risks is set out below.


KL Infrastructure Group Berhad (Company No. 425654-M) (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiaries<br />

25. Financial instruments (continued)<br />

Credit risk<br />

The Group and Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of cash and cash<br />

equivalents and trade and other receivables. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk and the Directors<br />

monitors these exposures on an ongoing basis.<br />

Currency risk<br />

The Group and Company is not exposed to any significant currency risk as transactions are mainly conducted in Ringgit<br />

Malaysia.<br />

Interest rate risk<br />

The Group’s interest-earning assets arise from deposits with licensed banks. Interest-bearing liabilities include borrowings<br />

obtained by the Group in which details are set out in Note 9 to the financial statements. The Group does not hedge these<br />

exposures. The investment in financial assets are mainly short term in nature and they are not held for speculative<br />

purposes.<br />

Liquidity risk<br />

The Group actively manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure<br />

that all financing, repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the Group<br />

maintains sufficient levels of cash and cash equivalents and banking facilities of a reasonable level to meet its working<br />

capital requirements. In addition, the Group strives to maintain available banking and government loan facilities of a<br />

reasonable level to finance its development project.<br />

Effective interest rates and repricing analysis<br />

In respect of interest earning financial assets and interest bearing liabilities, the following table indicates their<br />

effective interest rates at the balance sheet date and the periods in which they reprice or mature, whichever is earlier.<br />

25. Financial instruments (continued)<br />

Fair values<br />

In respect of cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and short term<br />

borrowings, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to the relatively short term nature of these<br />

financial instruments.<br />

The Directors estimate that the fair values of unquoted investments and long term borrowings approximate their<br />

book value. The salient features of the respective long term borrowings are as disclosed in Note 9. It is not practical<br />

to estimate the fair value of amount due to the holding company as there are no specific repayment terms. However,<br />

the Directors do not anticipate the carrying amount recorded at the balance sheet date to be significantly different<br />

from the value that would eventually be paid.<br />

26. Significant events subsequent to balance sheet date<br />

i) There are certain conditions precedent that have yet to be completed after the year end, arising from certain<br />

Share Sale Agreements in which the Company has entered into on 16 April 2004. The agreements relate to the<br />

acquisition of shares in the following :<br />
