2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />

(a)<br />

Basis of Accounting<br />

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention<br />

modified to include the revaluation of certain assets and comply with applicable approved accounting<br />

standards issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board ("MASB"). Certain properties of the Group<br />

and of the Company were revalued by the Directors in periods prior to 1998. As permitted by MASB Standard<br />

No. 15, Property, Plant and Equipment, these assets are stated at their previous revalued amount (subject to<br />

continuity in depreciation policy and the requirement to write an asset down to its recoverable amount) on the<br />

basis that the revaluation carried out then, was a one off isolated event and not intended to be the adoption of<br />

a revaluation policy in place of a cost policy.<br />

(b)<br />

Basis of Consolidation<br />

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiary<br />

companies. Subsidiary companies are those companies in which the Group has power to exercise control over<br />

the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. All the subsidiary companies<br />

are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting except those acquisitions of subsidiary companies<br />

which meet the criteria for merger accounting under MASB Standard No. 21, Business Combinations, are<br />

accounted under that method.<br />

(i) Under the acquisition method of accounting, the results of subsidiary companies acquired or disposed of<br />

during the year are included from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. At the date of<br />

acquisition, the fair values of the subsidiary companies' net assets are determined and these values are<br />

reflected in the consolidated financial statements.<br />

The difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of assets acquired is reflected as goodwill or<br />

reserve on consolidation as appropriate.<br />

Goodwill on consolidation is written off against reserve.<br />

(ii) Under the merger method of accounting, the results of the subsidiary companies are presented as if the<br />

companies had been combined through the current and previous financial years.<br />

All significant intra-group transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.<br />
