Based on the projection future taxable profits, the recognised tax lossesof that subsidiary is expected to be fully utilised.Assumptions about generation of future taxable profits are dependent on management’s projection of futureprofitability of the entity concerned. These assumptions include estimation of future contract revenue thatcould be generated and the related contracts’ profit margins, timing as to when the contracts can be securedincluding project financing and support of lenders to facilitate the timing of commencement of projects, operatingand administrative costs, capital expenditure, other capital management transactions and non-amendmentsof income tax legislation. Actual results could be significantly different from the Directors’ estimate of futureprofitability since anticipated events may not occur as expected and the variation could be material. Thesejudgements and assumptions are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Hence, there is a possibilitythat changes in circumstances may impact the extent of the amount of deferred tax assets recognised in thefinancial statements.Unrecognised deferred tax assetsNo deferred tax has been recognised for the following item (at gross amounts):Group31.12.2012 31.12.2011 1.1.2011RM’000 RM’000 RM’000Tax loss carry-forward 152,136 128,644 77,537Unutilised capital allowances 931 51 27The above items do not expire under current tax legislation except for tax loss carry-forward of RM136,000(31.12.2011: RM110,000; 1.1.2011: RM88,000) which will expire should there be a substantial change inshareholders (more than 50%).
