At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render: (i) the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts inadequate to any substantial extent; and (ii) the values attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading. (c) At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which would render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate. (d) At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or financial statements of the Group and of the Company which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading. (e) As at the date of this report, there does not exist: (f) (i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year which secures the liabilities of any other person; or (ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year. In the opinion of the Directors: (i) no contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which will or may affect the ability of the Group or of the Company to meet their obligations when they fall due; and (ii) no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report which is likely to affect substantially the results of the operations of the Group or of the Company for the financial year in which this report is made. annual report 2004 GOLDEN HOPE PLANTATIONS BERHAD 185 Directors’ Report SIGNIFICANT EVENTS The Group’s corporate restructuring exercise and other significant events during the year are disclosed in Note 34 to the financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of Preparation The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise disclosed in the significant accounting policies and comply with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable Approved Accounting Standards in Malaysia. During the financial year ended 30 June 2004, the Group and the Company adopted the following Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB) Standards for the first time: MASB 28 MASB 29 MASB 30 Discontinuing Operations Employee Benefits Accounting and Reporting by Retirement Benefit Plans The adoption of MASB 28, MASB 29 and MASB 30 did not give rise to any adjustments to the opening balances of retained profits of the prior and current year or to changes in comparatives. (b) Basis of Consolidation (i) Subsidiary Companies The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiary companies. Subsidiary companies are those companies in which the Group has a long term equity interest and where it has power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits therefrom. Subsidiary companies are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the results of subsidiary companies acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. The assets and liabilities of a subsidiary company are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition and these values are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. The difference between the cost of an acquisition and the fair value of the Group’s share of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary company at the date of acquisition is included in the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill or negative goodwill arising on consolidation. annual report 2004 GOLDEN HOPE PLANTATIONS BERHAD 193 Notes to the Financial Statements 2. 30 June 2004 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.) (b) Basis of Consolidation (Cont’d.) (i) Subsidiary Companies (Cont’d.) Intragroup transactions, balances and resulting unrealised gains are eliminated on consolidation and the consolidated financial statements reflect external transactions only. Unrealised losses are eliminated on consolidation unless costs cannot be recovered. The gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary company is the difference between net disposal proceeds and the Group’s share of its net assets together with any unamortised balance of goodwill and exchange differences which were not previously recognised in the consolidated income statement. Minority interest is measured based on the minorities’ share of the post acquisition fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree. (ii) Associated Companies Associated companies are those companies in which the Group has a long term equity interest and where it exercises significant influence over the financial and operating policies. Investments in associated companies are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by the equity method of accounting based on the audited or management financial statements of the associated companies. Under the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of profits less losses of associated companies during the year are included in the consolidated income statement. The Group’s interests in associated companies are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus the Group’s share of post-acquisition retained profits or accumulated losses and other reserves as well as goodwill on acquisition. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and the associated companies are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associated companies. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. (c) Investments in Subsidiary and Associated Companies The Company’s investments in subsidiary and associated companies are stated at cost less impairment losses. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 2(l). On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement. (d) Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 2(l). (i) Freehold land is not depreciated. (ii) Leasehold land is depreciated over the period of the lease. (iii) Estates are on freehold, long or renewable leases. Long leasehold estates with unexpired lease periods of more than 50 years, are not depreciated as the impact of non-depreciation is deemed immaterial. No depreciation is made for renewable lease estates. Expenditure on new planting and upkeep of trees to maturity is capitalised. Replanting expenditure and planted area cut-out are charged to revenue. 194 GOLDEN HOPE PLANTATIONS BERHAD annual report 2004 Notes to the Financial Statements 2. 30 June 2004 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.) (d) Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation (Cont’d.) (iv) Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment is provided for on a straight line basis to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over the period of its estimated useful life. The periods applied are as follows: Buildings Plant and machinery Furniture and fittings Vehicles 10 to 50 years 3 to 20 years 7 to 15 years 3 to 5 years Upon the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement. (e) Development Properties Land and development expenditure are classified as development properties when significant development work has been undertaken and is expected to be completed within the normal operating cycle. Development properties are stated at cost plus attributable profits less foreseeable losses, if any and progress billings. Cost includes cost of land, materials, direct labour, professional fees and other direct development expenditure and related overheads. (f) Property Development-In-Progress Property development-in-progress includes the cost of land currently being developed together with related development costs common to the whole project and direct building costs, plus attributable profits less foreseeable losses, if any and progress billings. (g) Amounts Due From/(To) Customers Amounts due from/(to) customers are the net amount of cost incurred for construction-in-progress plus attributable profits less foreseeable losses, if any and progress billings. Contract costs incurred to date include: (i) Costs directly related to the contract; (ii) Costs attributable to contract activity in general and can be allocated to the contract; and (iii) Other costs specifically chargeable to the customers under the terms of the contract. (h) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs to completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. Costs of produce stocks comprise ex-estate costs and a proportion of head office costs, determined on an average basis. Costs of refined palm oil, finished goods and work-in-progress comprise direct materials, direct labour and attributable overheads, determined on a weighted average basis. Costs of raw materials and stores are determined on a weighted average basis. Costs of unsold houses consist of apportioned land cost and development expenditure incurred determined on a specific identification basis, less provision, if any, for diminution in value of unsold houses. Unsold properties are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. annual report 2004 GOLDEN HOPE PLANTATIONS BERHAD 195 Notes to the Financial Statements 2. 30 June 2004 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.) (i) Statements of Cash Flows The statements of cash flows classify changes in cash and cash equivalents according to operating, investing and financing activities. The Group and the Company do not consider any of the assets other than cash and bank balances and short term deposits, reduced by bank overdrafts, to meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents. The statements of cash flows are prepared using the indirect method. (j) Foreign Currencies (i) Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in Ringgit Malaysia at rates of exchange ruling at the date of transaction, or where settlements have not taken place by the year end at the approximate rates ruling at that date. Non-monetary items which are carried at historical cost are translated using the historical rate as at the date of acquisition and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value are translated using the exchange rate that existed when the values were determined. All exchange rate differences are taken to the income statement with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These exchange differences are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in the income statement. (ii) Foreign Entities Financial statements of foreign consolidated subsidiary companies are translated at year-end exchange rates with respect to the assets and liabilities, and at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions with respect to the income statement. All resulting translation differences are included in the foreign exchange reserve in shareholders’ equity. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the Company and translated at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. The principal exchange rates used for every unit of foreign currency ruling at the balance sheet date are as follows: 1 Chinese Renminbi 1 Euro 1 United States Dollar 1,000 Vietnamese Dong 1,000 Indonesian Rupiah 1 Rand 196 GOLDEN HOPE PLANTATIONS BERHAD 2004 RM 2003 RM 0.468 4.641 3.800 0.244 0.455 0.594 0.468 4.384 3.800 0.247 0.480 — annual report 2004 Notes to the Financial Statements 2. 30 June 2004 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.) (k) Income Tax Income tax on the profit or loss for the 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 at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and 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 taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or negative goodwill 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 is 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 tax rates that have been enacted or substantively 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 in 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 negative goodwill. (l) Impairment of Assets At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. Recoverable amount is the higher of net selling price and value in use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement immediately. Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded when the impairment losses recognised for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. (m) Research and Development Expenditure on research and development is written off in the income statement in the year in which it is incurred. (n) Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: (i) Sale of Goods/Services Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have been passed to the buyers. Revenue for services rendered is recognised upon performance of services. (ii) Development Properties and Construction Contracts Revenue from sale of development properties and work done on construction contracts is recognised based on the “stage of completion” method. The stage of completion is determined based on contract costs incurred for work performed up to the balance sheet date as proportion of the estimated total contract costs. Foreseeable losses, if any, are recognised immediately in the income statement. annual report 2004 GOLDEN HOPE PLANTATIONS BERHAD 197 Notes to the Financial Statements 2. 30 June 2004 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.) (o) Financial Instruments Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends and gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as a liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Group 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. (i) Other Non-Current Investments Non-current investments other than investments in subsidiary and associated companies are stated at cost less impairment losses. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 2(l). On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in the income statement. (ii) Marketable Securities Marketable securities are carried at the lower of cost and market value, determined on an aggregate basis. Cost is determined on the weighted average basis while market value is determined based on quoted market values. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of marketable securities are recognised in the income statement. On disposal of marketable securities, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement. (iii) Trade Receivables Trade receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identified. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts as at the balance sheet date. (iv) Trade Payables Trade payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received. (v) 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, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets, until such times as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. (vi) Equity Instruments Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of tax. Equity transaction costs comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction which would otherwise have been avoided. 198 GOLDEN HOPE PLANTATIONS BERHAD annual report 2004 Notes to the Financial Statements 2. 30 June 2004 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.) (p) Employee Benefits (i) Short Term Benefits Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by the employees of the Group. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absence. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur. (ii) Defined Contribution Plans As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”). Some of the Group’s foreign subsidiary companies make contributions to their respective countries’ statutory pension schemes. Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. The Group Employee Share Options Scheme (“ESOS”) allows the Group’s employees to acquire ordinary shares of the Company. No compensation cost or obligation is recognised. When the options are exercised, equity is increased by the amount of the proceeds received. annual report 2004 GOLDEN HOPE PLANTATIONS BERHAD 199 Notes to the Financial Statements 3. 30 June 2004 SEGMENT INFORMATION (a) Revenue Revenue of the Company represents value of goods sold, trading and services rendered during the year.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (a) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies The Group’s financial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the development of the Group’s businesses whilst managing its interest rate, foreign exchange, liquidity and credit risks. The Group operates within clearly defined guidelines that are approved by the Board and the Group’s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions. (b) Interest Rate Risk The Group’s primary interest rate risk relates to interest-bearing debt, the Group had no substantial long-term interest-bearing assets as at 30 June 2004. The investments in financial assets are mainly short term in nature and they are not held for speculative purposes but have been mostly placed in fixed deposits. The Group manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining a prudent mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings. The Group actively reviews its debt portfolio, taking into account the investment holding period and nature of its assets. This strategy allows it to capitalise on cheaper funding in a low interest rate environment and achieve a certain level of protection against rate hikes. The information on maturity dates and effective interest rates of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in their respective notes. (c) Foreign Exchange Risk The Group operates internationally and is exposed to various currencies. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities together with expected cash flows from highly probable purchases and sales give rise to foreign exchange exposure. The Group maintains a natural hedge, whenever possible, by borrowing in the currency of the country in which the property or investment is located or by borrowing in currencies that match the future revenue stream to be generated from its investments. Foreign exchange exposures in transactional currencies other than functional currencies of the operating entities are kept to an acceptable level. The net unhedged financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group companies as at 30 June 2004 that are not denominated in their functional currencies is expected to be immaterial. annual report 2004 GOLDEN HOPE PLANTATIONS BERHAD 241 Notes to the Financial Statements 36. 30 June 2004 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D.) (c) Foreign Exchange Risk (Cont’d.) As at 30 June 2004, the outstanding foreign exchange currency contracts entered into by the Group to hedge its trade receivables and payables are as follows: Contract Amounts ’000 Carrying Amounts Euro ’000 Carrying Amounts RM’000 Equivalent 1,428 622 32 3,217 — — 47 2,670 5,442 2,856 219 12,391 Future sales of goods United States Dollar 14,186 11,661 54,117 Trade payables United States Dollar 12,166 10,006 46,707 Future purchase of raw materials United States Dollar 63,960 52,735 245,545 Trade receivables United States Dollar Euros Great Britain Pounds United States Dollar The fair value of outstanding forward foreign exchange currency contracts of the Group at the balance sheet date was a net unfavourable position of RM1,355,000. It is not practical to estimate the fair values of the forward foreign exchange currency contracts for the future sales of goods and purchase of raw materials reliably due to the uncertainties of timing, costs and eventual outcome. (d) Liquidity Risk The Group actively manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure that all refinancing, repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the Group maintains sufficient levels of cash or cash convertible investments to meet its working capital requirements. In addition, the Group strives to maintain available banking facilities of a reasonable level to its overall debt position. As far as possible, the Group raises committed funding from both capital markets and financial institutions and prudently balances its portfolio with some short term funding so as to achieve overall cost effectiveness. (e) Credit Risk Credit risks, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Credit risks are minimised and monitored via strictly limiting the Group’s associations to business partners with high creditworthiness. Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis via Group management reporting procedures. The Group does not have any significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty nor does it have any major concentration of credit risk related to any financial instruments. 242 GOLDEN HOPE PLANTATIONS BERHAD annual report 2004 Notes to the Financial Statements 36. 30 June 2004 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D.) (f) Fair Values The aggregate net fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities which are not carried at fair value on the balance sheets of the Group and of the Company as at the end of the financial year are represented as follows: Group Note Company Carrying Amount RM’000 Fair Value RM’000 Carrying Amount RM’000 Fair Value RM’000 Financial Assets At 30 June 2004: Other investments Non-current unquoted shares Amounts due from subsidiary companies 15 21 36,296 — * — 36,050 2,553,744 * # At 30 June 2003: Other investments Non-current unquoted shares Amounts due from subsidiary companies 15 21 36,296 — * — 36,050 2,362,691 * # Financial Liabilities At 30 June 2004: Amounts due to subsidiary companies Long term loans 23 27 — 113,705 — @ 4,413,595 — # — At 30 June 2003: Amounts due to subsidiary companies Long term loans 23 27 — 122,126 — @ 4,391,812 — # — * It is not practical to estimate the fair value of the Group’s non-current unquoted shares because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. # It is not practical to estimate the fair value of amounts due from/to subsidiary companies due principally to a lack of fixed repayment term entered by the parties involved and without incurring excessive costs. @ It is not practical to estimate the fair values of the long term loans due to the fluctuation of interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values of the following classes of financial instruments: (i) Cash and Bank Balances, Other Receivables/Payables and Short Term Borrowings The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets approximate fair values due to their short term maturity. (ii) Trade Receivables and Trade Payables The carrying amounts in the balance sheets approximate fair values because these are subject to normal trade credit terms. annual report 2004 GOLDEN HOPE PLANTATIONS BERHAD 243 Statement by Directors Pursuant to Section 169(15) of the Companies Act, 1965 We, TAN SRI DATO’ SERI (DR.)
