Chairman’s Statement
OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
I am proud to announce that on 13 April 2006, the Company was accorded recognition by the Malaysian Palm Oil
Board for the achievement of OER above the Peninsular Average 2005 (Northern Region) and Highest Increase in
OER Northern Region 2005 (Private Sector). For and on behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to
congratulate the staff at all levels in the organisation for their dedication and commitment in making this achievement
possible.
Following the encouraging performance in 2005, I am happy to report that the Company maintained its OER by
recording 20.0% for the year under review. The current OER surpassed the Peninsular Average of 19.2% and the
home state, Perak Average of 19.1%.
During 2006, the Company’s three estates with a combined planted hectarage of 7,660 hectares, produced a total of
130,230 metric tonnes of FFB, an increase of 13% from the previous year. The average FFB yield per mature hectare
was 21.3 metric tonnes compared to 19.1 metric tonnes in the previous year.
With regard to the on-going replanting exercise, a total of 714.30

hectares of oil palms were felled and replanted in 2006. As of end 0 - 2 years
2006, 23% of the Company’s total planted hectarage comprised of 23 %
27 % 3 - 10 years
immature palms whilst the remaining 77% comprised of mature
palms of various age groups as depicted in the chart. Another 11 - 15 years
827.29 hectares of oil palms had been identified for replanting in
9% 16 - 20 years
2007. In order to ensure high oil yields from the next generation 35 %
of plantings, the Company purchased superior progenies for its 6% Above 20 years
nurseries from reputable plantation companies.
Our efforts towards environmental conservation are an on-going process. The Company is committed to safeguard
and enhance the quality of the environment. Zero-burning policy is adopted in the replanting exercise whereby all felled
palms were chipped and pulverised mechanically. Huts for barn owl occupancy were built to increase the population of
barn owls in the estates. Planting of beneficial plants and maintaining the growth of ground-cover vegetation to encourage
insect and animal biodiversity, besides enhancing soil fertility, also contributed to the reduction of chemical pesticide and
herbicide usage. In addition, controlled grazing in selected fields by cattle from neighbouring areas had also proven to be
effective in reducing weeding and manuring requirements. Organic materials from the mill such as empty fruit bunches were
returned to the fields and left to decompose under the palms, reducing the need for inorganic fertilisers.
DIVIDENDS
Our dividend policy addresses the need to provide shareholders with satisfactory cash returns as reward for their
continued support and confidence in the Group whilst also conserving adequate funds for reinvestment to enhance
the Group’s future profitability and shareholders’ value.
The Board is pleased to recommend a final dividend of 8 sen less 27% tax, subject to shareholders’ approval at the
forthcoming Annual General Meeting. Together with the interim dividend of 2 sen less 28% tax paid on 3 October
2006, the total dividends declared for the financial year ended 31 December 2006 is 10 sen less tax totalling RM8.32
million.

Chairman’s Statement
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
We have included Statements on Corporate Governance and Internal Control in our Annual Report, which affirms
the Board’s commitment in ensuring that the highest standards of corporate governance are practiced throughout the
Group.
PROSPECTS
The future outlook for palm oil appears promising primarily on the strength of increasing global demand. The Board
believes that the Company will perform favourably under the prevailing market conditions.
The Company will continue to leverage on its human capital strengths, efficiency and productivity whilst initiatives to
increase mechanisation to reduce reliance on foreign labour will be intensified.
BEREAVEMENT
It is with profound sadness that we record the passing of our former Chairman, Allahyarham Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Haji
Basir bin Ismail whose wise council and support during his tenure as Chairman, contributed to the success of the
Company.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend my appreciation to the Management team and employees for delivering
the commendable results for the year and their untiring efforts at striving to achieve the Company’s vision and
mission. I would also like to record my gratitude for the contribution and wisdom of my fellow directors on the

Statement
The Board of Directors fully appreciates the importance of adopting high standards of corporate governance within
the Group. The Board views corporate governance as synonymous with three key concepts; namely transparency,
accountability as well as corporate performance.
As such, the Board strives to adopt the substance behind corporate governance prescriptions and not merely the
form. The Board is thus fully committed to the maintenance of high standards of corporate governance by supporting
and implementing the prescriptions of the principles and best practices set out in Parts 1 and 2 of the Malaysian Code
on Corporate Governance (“the Code”), respectively.
The Board is pleased to present the following statement, which outlines the main corporate governance practices
that were in place throughout the financial year, unless otherwise stated.
PRINCIPLES STATEMENT
The following statement sets out how the Company has applied the principles in Part 1 of the Code. The principles
are dealt with under the following headings: Board of Directors, Directors’ Remuneration, Shareholders and
Accountability and Audit.
1.0 BOARD OF DIRECTORS
1.1 Board Balance and Responsibilities
The Group acknowledges the pivotal role played by the Board of Directors in the stewardship of its direction
and operations, and ultimately the enhancement of long-term shareholder value. To fulfill this role, the Board is
responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Group, including its strategic direction, establishing goals
for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals.
As at the date of this statement, the Board consists of six (6) members; comprising three (3) Independent
Non-Executive Directors and three (3) Non-Independent Non-Executive Directors.
The concept of independence adopted by the Board is in tandem with the definition of an Independent Director
in Section 1.01 of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”). The key
elements for fulfilling the criteria are the appointment of an Independent Director who is not a member of
management (a non-executive Director) and who is free of any relationship which could interfere with the
exercise of independent judgement or the ability to act in the best interests of the Company. The Board
complied with paragraph 15.02 of the Listing Requirements, which requires that at least two (2) Directors or
one-third of the Board of the Company, whichever is the higher, be Independent Directors.
The Directors, with their different backgrounds and specialisation, collectively bring with them a wide range of
experience and expertise in areas such as operations, corporate affairs, finance and administration. The profile of
each Director is presented in Directors’ Profile in the Annual Report.
There is a clear division of responsibilities at the head of the Company to ensure a balance of authority and
power. The Board is led by a non-executive Chairman and the day-to-day operations of the Company are
overseen by the Management Committee, on behalf of the Board.
The Board is satisfied that the current Board composition fairly reflects the investment of minority shareholders
in the Company.

Statement
• Tender Committee
The Tender Committee was established on 28 April 1982 and is entrusted to facilitate a fair and transparent
tender submission and review process and award of contract procedure. The Committee is responsible to
ensure that the most advantageous tenders are accepted taking into account the price and the quality of the
service or product. The Tender Committee, therefore, ensures transparency in the award of contracts.
• Nominating Committee
The Nominating Committee was established on 8 October 2001 and is entrusted with the specific task of
identifying and recommending new nominees to the Board. As such, the Company has in place through the
Nominating Committee a formal and transparent process for the appointment of new Directors. The process
ensures that all nominees to the Board are first considered by the Nominating Committee taking into
account the required mix of skills and experience and other qualities, before making a recommendation to
the Board. The actual decision as to who shall be appointed should be the responsibility of the Board as a
whole after considering the recommendations of the Committee.
The Nominating Committee also assesses the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and the respective Board
Committees and contribution of each individual Director.
1.3 Meetings
The Board ordinarily meets at least four times a year at quarterly intervals with additional meetings convened
when urgent and important decisions need to be taken between the scheduled meetings.
For the year under review, the Board had 6 meetings and the number of meetings attended by each Director was

The Board receives documents on matters requiring its consideration prior to and in advance of each meeting.
All proceedings from the Board meetings are minuted and signed by the Chairman of the meeting.
In addition, the Directors meet, review and approve all corporate announcements, including the announcement of
the unaudited interim financial statements, prior to releasing them to Bursa Malaysia.
1.4 Supply of Information
The Chairman ensures that all Directors have full and timely access to information with Board papers distributed
in advance of meetings. Every Director has also unhindered access to the advice and services of the Company
Secretary. The Board believes that the Company Secretary is capable of carrying out her duties to ensure the
effective functioning of the Board. The Articles of Association specify that the removal of the Company Secretary
is a matter for the Board as a whole.
Prior to the meetings of the Board and the Board Committees, Board papers which include the agenda and
information relevant to the issues of the meetings covering the areas of strategic, financial, operational and
regulatory compliance matters, are circulated in advance to all the Directors for their information, in order to be
properly briefed before the meeting.

All Directors had attended the Mandatory Accreditation Programme and the Directors were also informed and
encouraged to attend professional programmes organised by various professional organisers to keep abreast with

pertaining to employment of foreign workers and the issues and challenges arising from the Malaysian Code on
Takeover and Mergers.
In addition, the members of the Board also benefited from briefings by the Management and Advisers on the

shall also retire once at least in each three years and shall be eligible for re-election. These provide an
opportunity for the shareholders to renew their mandates. The election of each Director is voted on separately.

OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION
Before the financial statements of the Group and the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps
to ascertain that:
(i) there are no bad debts to be written off and no provision need to be made for doubtful debts, and
(ii) all current assets have been stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:
(i) that would render it necessary to write off any bad debts or provide for any doubtful debts, or
(ii) that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the Group and in the Company financial
statements misleading, or
(iii) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the
Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate, or
(iv) not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements, that would render any amount stated in the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.
At the date of this report, there does not exist:
(i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year and
which secures the liabilities of any other person, or
(ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year.
No contingent liability or other liabilities of any company in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely to
become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of
the Directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and of the Company to meet their obligations
as and when they fall due.
In the opinion of the Directors, except for the effect arising from the change in accounting policies as disclosed in the
financial statements, the results of the operations of the Group and of the Company for the financial year ended 31
December 2006 have not been substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual
nature nor has any such item, transaction or event occurred in the interval between the end of that financial year and
the date of this report.

The Member s
We have audited the financial statements set out on pages 42 to 62. The preparation of the financial statements is the
responsibility of the Company's Directors.
It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on the financial statements and to report
our opinion to you, as a body, in accordance with Section 174 of the Companies Act, 1965 and for no other purpose.
We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.
We conducted our audit in accordance with approved Standards on Auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion:
(a) the financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965
and applicable approved accounting standards for entities other than private entities issued by the Malaysian
Accounting Standards Board so as to give a true and fair view of:
(i) the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company at 31 December 2006 and the results of their operations
and cash flows for the year ended on that date; and
(ii) the matters required by Section 169 of the Companies Act, 1965 to be dealt with in the financial statements
of the Group and of the Company; and
(b) the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Companies Act, 1965 to be kept by the
Company and its subsidiary have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the said Act.
We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiary that have been consolidated with the Company’s
financial statements are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required by us for
those purposes.
The audit report on the financial statements of the subsidiary was not subject to any qualification and did not include
any comment made under subsection (3) of Section 174 of the Act.

1. Basis of accounting
(a) Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
applicable approved accounting standards for entities other than private entities issued by the Malaysian
Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”), accounting principles generally accepted in Malaysia and the
provisions of the Companies Act, 1965. These financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure
provisions of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
The MASB has issued a number of new and revised Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”) that are effective
for accounting periods beginning after 1 January 2006 or available for early adoption. In this set of financial
statements, the Group has chosen to early adopt FRS 117, Leases, which is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 October 2006.
The MASB has also issued the following new and revised FRSs or interpretation that are effective for future
periods that have not been applied in preparing these financial statements:
(i) FRS 124, Related Party Disclosures – This FRS is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
October 2006. By virtue of the exemption in paragraph 22A of FRS 124, the impact of applying FRS 124
on the financial statements upon first adoption of this standard as required by paragraph 30(b) of FRS
108, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Error is not disclosed;
(ii) FRS 139, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement – This FRS has been issued by the MASB
but the MASB has yet to announce the effective date of this standard. By virtue of the exemption in
paragraph 103AB of FRS 139, the impact of applying FRS 139 on the financial statements upon first
adoption of this standard as required by paragraph 30(b) of FRS 108 is not disclosed;
(iii) Amendment to FRS 119 2004 , Employee Benefit – Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and
Disclosures – Certain amendment made to FRS 1192004 are effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2007. The adoption of these amendments does not have any significant impact on the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company in the period of initial application; and
(iv) FRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources – This FRS is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2007. This Standard is not applicable to the Group and the Company.
The MASB has also issued amendments and other interpretations that are effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 July 2007. These amendments and interpretations are not applicable to the Group
and the Company.
The Group plans to apply FRS 124 initially for the annual period beginning 1 January 2007.
The effects of adopting the new/revised FRSs in 2006 are set out in note 26.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 18 April 2007.
(b) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

Financial Statements
- 31 December 2006
1. Basis of accounting (continued)

(c) Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the Company’s functional
currency. All financial information presented in RM has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless
otherwise stated.
(d) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
2. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these
financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities, unless otherwise stated.
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation (see note 26).
(a) Basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the ability to
exercise its power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits
from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken
into account.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the
date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less impairment losses,
unless the investment is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as
held for sale).
There were no minority interests at the balance sheet date as the sole subsidiary of the Company is
wholly-owned by the Company.
(ii) Associates
Associates are entities, including unincorporated entities, in which the Group has significant influence,
but not control, over the financial and operating policies.
Associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method unless it
is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale). The
consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the income and expenses of the equity
accounted associates, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from
the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted associate, the carrying
amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of
further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made
payments on behalf of the investee.
Investments in associates are stated in the Company’s balance sheet at cost less impairment losses,
unless the investment is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as
held for sale).
(iii) Changes in Group composition
Where a subsidiary issues new equity shares to minority interest for cash consideration and the issue
price has been established at fair value, the reduction in the Group’s interest in the subsidiary is
accounted for as a disposal of equity interest with the corresponding gain or loss recognised in the
income statement.
When a group purchases a subsidiary’s equity shares from minority interest for cash consideration and
the purchase price has been established at fair value, the accretion of the Group’s interests in the
subsidiary is accounted for as a purchase of equity interest for which the acquisition accounting
method of accounting is applied.
The Group treats all other changes in group composition as equity transactions between the Group
and its minority shareholders. Any difference between the Group’s share of net assets before and after
the change, and any consideration received or paid, is adjusted to or against Group reserves.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(a) Basis of consolidation (continued)
(iv) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are
eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the
investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the
same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
(b) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost/valuation less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses.
The Group has availed itself to the transitional provision when the MASB first adopted IAS 16,
Property, Plant and Equipment in 1998. Certain freehold land, was revalued in July 1993 and no later
valuation has been recorded for these properties.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other
costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs
of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased
software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that
equipment.
When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are
accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
(ii) Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying
amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will
flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of
property, plant and equipment are recognised in the income statement as incurred.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Property, plant and equipment under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for
their intended use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
• buildings and installations 5 - 20 years

• plant and machinery 7 years
• motor vehicles 5 years
• furniture, fittings and office equipment 5 - 10 years
• agricultural implements and other equipment 5 - 7 years
The depreciable amount is determined after deducting the residual value.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at the reporting date.
(c) Prepaid lease payments
Leasehold land that normally has an indefinite economic life and title is not expected to pass to the lessee
by the end of the lease term is treated as an operating lease. The payment made on entering into or
acquiring a leasehold land is accounted as prepaid lease payments that are amortised over the lease term in
accordance with the pattern of benefits provided except for leasehold land classified as investment property.
The Group had previously classified a lease of land as finance lease and had recognised the amount of
prepaid lease payments as property within its property, plant and equipment. On early adoption of FRS 117,
Leases, the Group treats such a lease as an operating lease, with the unamortised carrying amount classified
as prepaid lease payments in accordance with the transitional provisions in FRS 117.67A.
The Group had previously revalued its leasehold land and has retained the unamortised revalued amount as
the surrogate carrying amount of prepaid lease payments in accordance with the transitional provisions in
FRS 117.67A. Such prepaid lease payments is amortised over the lease term.
49
N o t e s To T h e
- 31 December 2006

(d) Biological assets
(i) New planting expenditure
New planting expenditure incurred on land clearing and upkeep of trees to maturity is capitalised
under biological assets and is not amortised.
(ii) Replanting expenditure
Replanting expenditure is charged to income statement in the financial year in which the expenditure is
incurred.
(e) Investments in equity securities
Investments in equity securities are recognised initially at fair value plus attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition:
• Investments in non-current equity securities other than investments in subsidiaries and associates are
stated at cost less allowance for diminution in value; and
• All current investments are carried at the lower of cost and market value, determined on an aggregate
portfolio basis by category of investments.
Where in the opinion of the Directors, there is a decline other than temporary in the value of non-current
equity securities other than investment in subsidiaries and associates, the allowance for diminution in value
is recognised as an expense in the financial year in which the decline is identified.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is
recognised in the income statement.
All investments in debt securities are accounted for using settlement date accounting. Settlement date accounting
refers to:
(i) the recognition of an asset on the day it is received by the entity; and
(ii) the derecognition on an asset and recognition of any gain or loss on disposal on the date it is delivered.
(f ) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on
the weighted average cost and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them
to their existing location and condition. In the case of inventories of produce, cost includes cost of raw
materials, direct labour and an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating
capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the
estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
(g) Receivables
Receivables are initially recognised at their cost when the contractual right to receive cash or another
financial asset from another entity is established. Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are stated at
cost less allowance for doubtful debts.
Receivables are not held for the purpose of trading.
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid
investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the cash flow statement,
cash and cash equivalents are presented net of pledged deposits.
(i) Impairment of assets
The carrying amounts of assets except for financial assets and inventories are reviewed at each reporting
date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the
asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its
recoverable amount unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is
recognised directly against any revaluation surplus for the asset to the extent that the impairment loss does
not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same asset. A cash-generating unit is the smallest
identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups.
Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of
cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units
and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (groups of units) on a pro rata basis.
50
Notes To T h e
- 31 Dece m b e r 2 0 0 6

(i) Impairment of assets (continued)
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value
less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present
value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the asset.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that
the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent
that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined,
net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment
losses are credited to the income statement in the year in which the reversals are recognised, unless it
reverses an impairment loss on a revalued asset, in which case it is credited directly to revaluation surplus.
Where an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognised in the income statement, a
reversal of that impairment loss is also recognised in the income statement.
(j) Employee benefits
(i) Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and
sick leave are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus. If the
Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service
provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
The Group’s contributions to the Employees Provident Fund are charged to the income statements in
the year to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further
payment obligations.
(ii) Retirement benefits
The Group and the Company provides for retirement benefits for eligible employees on an unfunded
defined benefit basis. Full provision has been made for retirement benefits payable to all eligible
employees based on the last drawn salaries at the year end and the length of service rendered. The
present value of the defined benefit obligations as required by FRS 1192004, Employee Benefits has not
been used in arriving at the provision, as the amount involved is insignificant to the Group and the
Company. Accordingly, no further disclosure as required by the standard is made.
(k) Payables
Payables are measured initially and subsequently at cost. Payables are recognised when there is a contractual
obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity.
(l) Revenue
(i) Goods sold
Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to
the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable and there is no continuing management involvement
with the goods.
(ii) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
(iii) Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
(m) Tax expense
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Tax expense is recognised in the income statement except
to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or
substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous
years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation
purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of
goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and
that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that
51
N o t e s To T h e
- 31 December 2006

(m) Tax expense (continued)
are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will
be realised.
Additional taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability
to pay the related dividend is recognised.
(n) Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is
calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by
adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

3. Property, plant and equipment (continued)

The freehold land, prepaid lease payments (as disclosed in note 4) and biological assets (as disclosed in note 5)
are stated at Directors’ valuation based on professional valuation made by a chartered surveyor on the open
market basis conducted in July 1993. Subsequent additions thereafter are stated at cost. A piece of freehold land
totalling 34.8 acres is leased to a company in which a Director has an interest, for 60 years from the year ended
31 December 1996.
Had the freehold land been carried under the cost model, the carrying amount of the revalued freehold land
would have been RM4,697,000 (2005: RM4,697,000).

23. Segmental reporting - Group
The Group only engages in oil palm cultivation and production and sale of crude palm oil and palm kernel in
Malaysia and accordingly, no segmental information is presented.
24. Financial instruments
24.1 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The main risks arising from the normal course of the Group’s and the Company’s business are interest rate
risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Group’s and the Company’s normal practice for managing each of these
risks is summarised below:
Interest rate risk
The Group and the Company places cash balances with reputable banks and financial institutions to generate
interest income for the Group and the Company. The Group and the Company manages its interest rate risk
by monitoring market rates and placing such balances on varying maturities and interest rate terms.
Effective interest rates analysis:
In respect of interest earning financial assets, the following table indicates their effective interest rates at the
balance sheet date and the periods in which they mature or if earlier, reprice.
Group/Company
2006 2005
Average effective interest rates 2.30% - 4.05% 2.25% - 3.80%
Deposits (maturing within 1 year) (RM’000) 28,400 22,500
Liquidity risk
In the management of liquidity risk, the Group and the Company monitor and maintain a level of cash and cash
equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group’s and the Company’s operations and
mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
Credit risk
The Group’s and the Company’s primary exposure to credit risk arises through its trade receivables. The
management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis.
Appropriate credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit from the Company.
Concentration of credit risk on trade receivables of the Group and the Company is limited to a small number
of customers as is common to the industry. At the balance sheet date, 3 (2005: 2) customers owed a majority
of the Group’s and Company’s trade receivables, which had been received after the balance sheet date. Other
than the concentration of credit risk described above, the Group and Company are not materially exposed to
any individual customer.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset presented
in the balance sheet.

24. Financial instruments (continued)
24.2 Fair value of recognised financial instruments
In respect of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables, the
carr ying amounts approximate fair value due to the relatively shor t term nature of these financial
instruments.
For the unquoted shares as disclosed in note 8 to the financial statements, it was not practicable to estimate
the fair value of this unquoted investment as the information for the said fair value was not available. The
carrying amount to this investment had been fully allowed for in previous years.
25. Significant events
As disclosed in the financial statements of the previous year, there was a material litigation in respect of the
injunction obtained by Glamour Green Sdn. Bhd. (“GGSB”), a shareholder of the Company restraining Kuala
Lumpur Kepong Berhad (“KLK”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Ablington Holdings Sdn. Bhd. (“AHSB”)
from implementing the Mandatory General Offer (“MGO”).
On 3 April 2006, the High Court dismissed GGSB’s claims and KLK/AHSB’s counter-claim against the
Company under the Suit was allowed. Inter-alia, the ruling lifted the injunction which restrained AHSB from
making the MGO. GGSB applied for an injunction pending appeal, which was heard and dismissed by the
High Court on 27 April 2006.
GGSB appealed against the High Court’s decision and obtained an interim injunction/stay of proceedings in
the Court of Appeal on 28 April 2006 pending the hearing and disposal of the Appeal. The Company also
filed an Appeal on 28 April 2006 against the decision of the High Court.
On 19 May 2006, the Court of Appeal declared that the sale of 35 million shares in the Company to AHSB
was null and void and of no effect and consequently, AHSB/KLK cannot proceed with the MGO. The Court
of Appeal also dismissed the counter-claim filed by KLK/AHSB against the Company.
On 20 July 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company received a Notice of Conditional MGO from
Commerce International Merchant Bankers Berhad given for and on behalf of AHSB and on 24 July 2006,
GGSB managed to obtain an ex-parte interim injunction from the High Court to restrain the sale and the
MGO. Pursuant to the Order, the Board of Directors will not be taking further steps on the Notice of
Conditional MGO issued by AHSB until any further Order of the said High Court is received.
