6. pROSpECTS

When the renowned research company iDC malaysia released their readings for the year 2008, they predicted that in 2008, disruptive technologies will continue to drive the iCT market in malaysia, and end users will become the driving force in changing the way iCT vendors conduct their business. The iCT industry in malaysia will be forced to be ultra competitive in 2008, with a lower growth rate forecasted, due to increasing competition among businesses. This will create more concentrated segmentations which will drive the market in 2008. hence, understanding the disruptive changes of how end users are demanding for products and services will enable these vendors to gain market dominance. (iDC: Top 10 predictions for the malaysia iCT market for 2008)

Taking this prediction in mind, we will seek to administrate our business in synch with the industry’s landscape, optimizing the opportunities and managing the challenges positively. overall the group is looking forward to an exciting and challenging year ahead in the iCT industry.

7. AppRECIATION & ACkNOWLEDGEMENT

The Board of Directors of Formis is pleased to welcome back en Ahmad Bin Khalid as an independent non-executive Director of Formis and a member of the Audit and Risk management Committee and the Remuneration Committee with effect from 1 november 2007.

The system of internal control adopted by the group covers, inter alia, corporate governance, risk management procedures, operational, financial and compliance controls as well as any contingency plans required.

Enterprise Risk Management Framework

The Group has in place a Risk Policy Document (“RPD”) whichincorporates, amongst others, a structured process for identifying, evaluating and prioritizing risks as well as clearly defining the risk responsibilities and escalation process of significant risks and an EnterpriseRiskManagement(“ERM”)oversightframework.

The Board’s primary objective and direction in managing the group’s risks are focused on the achievement of the group’s business objectives. To allow for a more structured and focused approach in managing the group’s significant business risks, the group established a formal eRm framework in February 2004. The exercise assisted the group to identify, assess, prioritize, evaluate and formulate plans to manage significant risks that would affect the achievement of the group’s strategic business objectives.

management conducts follow-up updates on its risk assessment yearly or when there is a significant change to the group’s risk profile or business environment. Quarterly monitoring reports are presented to the ARmC and thereafter to the Board for the required review and approvals.

Assurance Mechanism

The ARmC is empowered by the Board with responsibilities relating to the group’s accounting and reporting practices as well as with the duty of reviewing and monitoring the effectiveness and adequacy of the group’s system of internal controls and to ensure that an appropriate mix of techniques is used to obtain the level of assurance required by the Board.

The ARmC periodically receives and assesses reports from the independent assurance functions of the group. The internal Audit function provides the ARmC with an assessment on the adequacy and integrity of the group’s system of internal control via reports from visits conducted at various operating units.

The external auditors provide assurance in the form of their annual statutory audit of the financial statements. Areas for improvement identified during the course of the statutory audit by the external auditors are brought to the attention of the ARmC through management letters, or are articulated at the ARmC meetings.

By striving to maintain a sound internal control system, the Board believes that a balanced achievement of its business objectives and operational efficiency will be attained.

As such, the Board, in striving for continuous improvement, will continue to put in place appropriate action plans, when necessary, to further strengthen the group’s system of internal control to safeguard the shareholders’ investment, the interests of customers, regulators and employees and the group’s assets.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in malaysia and is listed on the second Board of Bursa malaysia securities Berhad.

The registered office and principal place of business of the Company is located at 20th Floor, menara panglobal, no. 8, lorong p. Ramlee, 50250 Kuala lumpur.

The financial statements are presented in Ringgit malaysia (Rm), which is also the Company’s functional currency.

The financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution by the Board of Directors on 15 July 2008.

2. pRINCIpAL ACTIVITIES

The Company is principally engaged in investment holding activities and the provision of management services. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are disclosed in note 8.

There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the financial year.

3. BASIS OF pREpARATION

The financial statements of the group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with applicable approved Financial Reporting standards (‘FRs’) in malaysia and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING pOLICIES

4.1 Basis of accounting

The financial statements of the group and of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as otherwise stated in the financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements requires the Directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. in addition, the Directors are also required to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving such judgements, estimates and assumptions are disclosed in note 6. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on the Directors’ best knowledge of events and actions, actual results could differ from those estimates.

4.2 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries made up to the end of the financial year using the purchase method of accounting.

under the purchase method of accounting, the cost of business combination is measured at the aggregate of fair values at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued plus costs directly attributable to the business combination.

At the acquisition date, the cost of business combination is allocated to identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities in the business combination which are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of business combination over the group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is recognised as goodwill. if the cost of business combination is less than the interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, the group will:

(a) reassess the identification and measurement of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and the measurement of the cost of the combination; and

(b) recognise immediately in profit or loss any excess remaining after that reassessment.

notes to the financial statements31 March 2008

43Formis Resources Berhad • annual report 2008

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING pOLICIES (continued)

4.2 Basis of consolidation (continued)

When a business combination includes more than one exchange transaction, any adjustment to the fair values of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities relating to previously held interests of the group is accounted for as a revaluation.

subsidiaries are consolidated from the acquisition date, which is the date on which the group effectively obtains control, until the date on which the group ceases to control the subsidiaries. Control exists when the group has the 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 are exercisable are taken into account.

intragroup balances, transactions and unrealised gains and losses on intragroup transactions are eliminated in full. if a subsidiary uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to its financial statements in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

The gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary, which is the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the group’s share of its net assets as of the date of disposal including the carrying amount of goodwill and the cumulative amount of any exchange differences that relate to the subsidiary, is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

minority interest is that portion of the profit or loss and net assets of a subsidiary attributable to equity interests that are not owned, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, by the group. it is measured at the minority’s share of the fair value of the subsidiaries’ identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date and the minority’s share of changes in the subsidiaries’ equity since that date.

When losses applicable to the minority in a subsidiary exceed the minority’s interest in the equity of that subsidiary, the excess and any further losses applicable to the minority are allocated against the group’s interest except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make additional investment to cover the losses. if the subsidiary subsequently reports profits, such profits are allocated to the group’s interest until the minority’s share of losses previously absorbed by the group has been recovered.

minority interest is presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity and is presented in the consolidated statement of changes in equity separately from equity attributable to equity holders of the Company.

minority interest in the results of the group is presented in the consolidated income statement as an allocation of the total profit or loss for the financial year between minority interest and equity holders of the Company.

4.3. property, plant and equipment and depreciation

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will flow to the group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of parts that are replaced is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the income statement as incurred. Cost also comprises the initial estimate of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site on which it is located for which the group is obligated to incur when the asset is acquired, if applicable.

each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the asset and which has different useful life, is depreciated separately.

After initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING pOLICIES (continued)

4.3. property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation of the assets to their residual values on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The principal annual depreciation rates are as follows:

Computer equipment and software 15% to 50%office equipment, furniture, fittings and renovation 10% to 20%motor vehicles 20%

At each balance sheet date, the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is assessed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.

The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount is included in profit or loss and the revaluation surplus related to those assets, if any, is transferred directly to retained earnings.

4.4 leases and hire purchase

(a) Finance lease and hire purchase

Assets acquired under finance leases and hire purchase which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the group are recognised initially at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The discount rate used in calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the leases, if this is practicable to determine; if not, the group’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct costs incurred by the group are added to the amount recognised as an asset. The assets are capitalised as property, plant and equipment and the corresponding obligations are treated as liabilities. The property, plant and equipment capitalised are depreciated on the same basis as owned assets.

The minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charges are recognised in profit or loss over the period of the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining lease and hire purchase liabilities.

(b) operating lease

lease payments under operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

4.5 investment properties

investment properties are properties which are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or for both. investment properties are initially measured at cost, which include transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of building. Freehold land is not depreciated.

A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of investment properties is recognised in profit or loss for the period in which it arises.

investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed off or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits is expected from their disposal. The gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of investment property is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss in the period of the retirement or disposal.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING pOLICIES (continued)

4.6 investments

(a) subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity in which the group and the Company has power to control the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group has such power over another entity.

An investment in subsidiary, which is eliminated on consolidation, is stated in the Company’s separate financial statements at cost less impairment losses, if any. on disposal of such an investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is included in profit or loss.

(b) Associates

An associate is an entity over which the group and the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

in the Company’s separate financial statements, an investment in associate is stated at cost less impairment losses, if any.

An investment in associate is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The investment in associate in the consolidated balance sheet is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the group’s share of net assets of the investment.

The interest in the associate is the carrying amount of the investment in the associate under the equity method together with any long-term interest that, in substance, form part of the group’s net interest in the associate.

The group’s share of the profit or loss of the associate during the financial year is included in the consolidated financial statements, 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. Distributions received from the associate reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Adjustments to the carrying amount may also be necessary for changes in the group’s proportionate interest in the associate arising from changes in the associate’s equity that have not been recognised in the associate’s profit or loss. such changes include those arising from the revaluation of property, plant and equipment and from foreign exchange translation differences. The group’s share of those changes is recognised directly in equity of the group.

When the group’s share of losses in the associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the carrying amount of that interest is reduced to nil and the group does not recognise further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on its behalf.

The most recent available financial statements of the associate are used by the group in applying the equity method. Where the reporting dates of the financial statements are not coterminous, the share of results is arrived at using the latest audited financial statements for which the difference in reporting dates is no more than three months. Adjustments are made for the effects of any significant transactions or events that occur between the intervening period.

upon disposal of an investment in associate, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is included in profit or loss.

(c) other investments

non-current investments other than investments in subsidiaries, associates, jointly controlled entities and investment properties are stated at cost and an allowance for diminution in value is made where in the opinion of the Directors, there is a decline other than temporary in the value of such investments.

4.6 investments (continued)

(c) other investments (continued)

All current investments are carried at the lower of cost and market value, determined on an aggregate portfolio basis by category of investments.

upon disposal of such investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

4.7 intangible assets

(a) goodwill

goodwill acquired in a business combination is recognised as an asset at the acquisition date and is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of business combination over the group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. goodwill is not amortised but instead tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.

goodwill arising on acquisition of an associate is the excess of cost of investment over the group’s share of the net fair value of net assets of the associates’ identifiable assets, liability and contingent liabilities at the date of acquisition.

goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. The excess of the group’s share of the net fair value of the associate’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of investment is included as income in the determination of the group’s share of the associate’s profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

(b) other intangible assets

software development costs

software development costs comprise salaries of personnel involved in development projects. software development cost is charged to the income statement in the financial year in which it is incurred except for that relating to specific projects intended for commercial exploitation where it is expected to generate future economic benefits and can reasonably be recovered from related future revenue. such expenditure is amortised equally over the first four years in which the product is expected to be sold commencing from the period in which related sales are first made. if it is determined that future recoverability is impossible, such expenditure will be written off to the income statement immediately.

4.8 impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amount of assets, except for financial assets (excluding investment in subsidiaries and associates), inventories, deferred tax assets and non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. if any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill or intangible asset might be impaired.

The recoverable amount of an asset is estimated for an individual asset. Where it is not probable to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the cash generating unit (Cgu) to which the asset belongs. goodwill acquired in a business combination is from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the group’s Cgu or groups of Cgu that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination giving rise to the goodwill irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units or groups of units.

47Formis Resources Berhad • annual report 2008

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING pOLICIES (continued)

4.8 impairment of non-financial assets (continued)

The recoverable amount of an asset or Cgu is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value in use.

in estimating the value in use, the estimated future cash inflows and outflows to be derived from continuing use of the asset and from its ultimate disposal 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 for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement when the carrying amount of the asset or the Cgu, including the goodwill or intangible asset, exceeds the recoverable amount of the asset or the Cgu. The total impairment loss is allocated, first, to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the Cgu and then to the other assets of the Cgu on a pro-rate basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the Cgu.

The impairment loss is recognised in the income statement immediately except for the impairment on a revalued asset where the impairment loss is recognised directly against the revaluation reserve account to the extent of the surplus credited from the previous revaluation for the same asset with the excess of the impairment loss charged to the income statement.

An impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. An impairment loss for other assets is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets’ recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.

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.

such reversals are recognised as income immediately in the income statement except for the reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset where the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase and credited to the revaluation reserve account of the same asset. however, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognised in profit or loss, a reversal of that impairment loss is also recognised in profit or loss.

4.9 inventories

inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost of computer hardware, software and spare parts are determined on a specific identification basis while cost of other inventories are determined on the first-in-first-out basis. Cost of inventories comprises the original cost of purchase plus direct expenses incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Allowance is made where necessary for obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories.

4.10 Financial instruments

4.10.1 Financial instruments recognised on the balance sheets

Financial instruments are recognised on 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 losses and gains relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability shall be recognised as income or expense in profit or loss. Distributions to holders of an equity instrument are debited directly to equity, net of any related tax effect. Financial instruments are offset when the group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(a) Receivables

Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. Known bad debts are written off and specific allowances are made for any debts which are considered doubtful of collection.

(b) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank balances, bank overdrafts, deposits and other short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

(c) payables

payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received.

(d) interest bearing loans and borrowings

interest bearing loans and borrowings are recorded at the amount of proceeds received less directly attributable transaction costs.

(e) equity instruments

ordinary shares are recorded at the nominal value and proceeds in excess of the nominal value of shares issued, if any, are accounted for as share premium. Both ordinary shares and share premium are classified as equity. Transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit. otherwise, they are charged to the income statement.

Dividends to shareholders are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared.

if the Company reacquires its own equity instruments, the consideration paid, including any attributable transaction costs is deducted from equity as treasury shares until they are cancelled. no gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments. Where such shares are issued by resale, the difference between the sales consideration and the carrying amount is shown as a movement in equity.

(f) Irredeemablecumulativeconvertiblepreferenceshares(“ICPS”) The iCps is recognised in the financial statements based on the nominal value of the iCps. These shares are classified as

4.11 Borrowing costs

Borrowing cost that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is capitalised as part of the cost of the asset until when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are complete, after which such expense is charged to the income statement. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Capitalisation of borrowing cost is suspended during extended periods in which active development is interrupted.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

4.12 income taxes

income taxes include all domestic and foreign taxes on taxable profit. income taxes also include other taxes, such as withholding taxes, which are payable by a foreign subsidiary or associate on distributions to the group and Company, and real property gains taxes payable on disposal of properties, prior to 1 April 2007, if any.

Taxes in the income statement comprises current tax and deferred tax.

(a) Current tax

Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit or loss for a period.

Current tax for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

(b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in full using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base.

Deferred tax is recognised for all temporary differences, unless the deferred tax arises from goodwill or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only 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. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date. if it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilised, the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset will be reduced accordingly. When it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available, such reductions will be reversed to the extent of the taxable profit.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxation authority.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

4.13 provisions

provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING pOLICIES (continued)

4.13 provisions (continued)

provision for warranties is recognised based on the estimated liabilities to repair or replace products when the underlying products or services are sold. The estimated liability is based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcome against their associated probabilities.

4.14 employee benefits

4.14.1 short term employee benefits

Wages, salaries, social security contributions, paid annual leave, paid sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are recognised as an expense in the financial year when employees have rendered their services to the group.

short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

Bonuses are recognised as an expense when there is a present, legal or constructive obligation to make such payments, as a result of past events and when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

4.14.2 Defined contribution plans

The Company and subsidiaries incorporated in malaysia make contributions to a statutory provident fund and foreign subsidiaries make contributions to their respective countries’ statutory pension schemes. The contributions are recognised as a liability after deducting any contribution already paid and as an expense in the period in which the employees render their services.

4.14.3 Defined benefits plans

The amount recognised as a liability in respect of a defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligations at the balance sheet date adjusted for unrecognised actuarial gains and losses and unrecognised past services cost.

The group determines the present value of the defined benefit obligations with sufficient regularity such as that the amounts recognised in the financial statements do not differ materially from the amounts that would be determined at the balance sheet date.

The present value of the defined benefit obligations and the related current services cost and past service cost are determined using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount the obligations is based on market yields at balance sheet date of government securities which have currency and terms consistent with the currency and estimated terms of the obligations.

Actuarial gains and losses may result from changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligations. They are recognised as income or expense over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in that plan when the net cumulative unrecognised actuarial gains or losses exceed the 10% of the present value of the defined benefit obligations at that date.

4.14.4 Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payments due to employees as a result of the termination of employment before the normal retirement date or to encourage voluntary redundancy. They are recognised as a liability and an expense when the group has a detailed formal plan for termination with no realistic possibility of withdrawal. in the case of voluntary redundancy, the benefits are accounted for based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer.

Where termination benefits fall due more than 12 months after the balance sheet date, they are discounted to present value.

4.15 Foreign currencies

4.15.1 Functional currency

The separate financial statements of each entity in the group are measured using the functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.

51Formis Resources Berhad • annual report 2008

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING pOLICIES (continued)

4.15 Foreign currencies (continued)

4.15.2 Foreign currency transactions and translations A foreign currency transaction is recorded, on initial recognition in the functional currency, by applying to the foreign currency

amount the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.

At each balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated using the exchange rate at that date. non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency is translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

exchange differences arising on a monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the Company’s net investment in a foreign operation shall be recognised in profit or loss in the financial statements of the Company or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate. in the consolidated financial statements, such exchange differences are recognised initially in the exchange translation reserve except for a monetary item that is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of either the Company or the foreign operation, which exchange differences is recognised in profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. on the disposal of the foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to the foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss when the gain or loss on disposal is recognised.

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation is treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and is translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.

4.16 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of discounts and rebates.

Revenue is recognised to the extend that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the group, and the amount of revenue and the cost incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be reliably measured and specific recognition criteria have been met for each of the group’s activities as follows:

(a) sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods has been transferred to the customer and where the group retains neither continuing managerial involvement over the goods, which coincides with delivery of goods and acceptance by customers.

(b) Contract works

Revenue from contract works for computer support facilities is recognised in the income statement based on the stage of completion which is determined based on the contract costs incurred for work performed to date in proportion to the estimated total contract costs.

(c) services

Revenue from maintenance and software support contract is allocated evenly throughout the period of contracts. income for the expired period is recognised in the income statement on accrual basis and income relating to the unexpired period is carried forward as unearned income.

4.16 Revenue recognition (continued)

(d) Rental income and management fees

Rental income and management fees are recognised on an accrual basis unless collectibility is in doubt.

(e) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

(f) interest income

interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

4.17 non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations

4.17.1 non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale

non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, the asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups) and its sale must be highly probable.

immediately before the initial classification as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the non-current assets (or all the assets and liabilities in a disposal group) are measured in accordance with applicable FRs. on initial classification as held for sale, non-current assets or disposal groups (other than investment properties, deferred tax assets, employee benefits assets, and financial assets carried at fair value) are measured at the lower of carrying amount immediately before the initial classification as held for sale and fair value less costs to sell. Any differences, if any, are recognised in profit or loss as impairment loss.

non-currents assets (or disposal groups) held for sale are classified as current assets (and current liabilities, in the case of non-current liabilities included within disposal groups) on the face of the balance sheet and are stated at the lower of carrying amount immediately before initial classification and fair value less costs to sell and are not depreciated. Any cumulative income or expense recognised directly in equity relating to the non-current asset (or disposal group) classified as held for sale is presented separately.

if the group has classified an asset (or disposal group) as held for sale but subsequently the criteria for classification is no longer met, the group ceases to classify the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale. The group measures a non-current asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale (or ceases to be included in a disposal group classified as held for sale) at the lower of:

(a) its carrying amount before the asset (or disposal group) was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation, amortisation or revaluations that would have been recognised had the asset (or disposal group) not been classified as held for sale; and

(b) its recoverable amount at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

4.17.2 Discontinued operations

A component of the group is classified as a discontinued operation when the criteria to be classified as held for sale have been met or it has been disposed of and such a component represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. When an operation is classified as discontinued operation, the comparative income statement is restated as if the operation had been discontinued from the start up of the comparative period.

5. ADOpTION OF NEW FRS AND AMENDMENT TO FRS

5.1 new FRs and Amendment to FRs adopted

on 1 April 2007, the group adopted the following new FRs and amendment to FRs:

FRs 117 leases is mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 october 2006. The adoption of this FRs has no (a) material impact of the group’s financial statements as the existing accounting policy is consistent with the requirements of this new standard.

(b) Amendment to FRs 1192004 employee Benefits - Actuarial gains and losses, group plans and Disclosures is mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007.

As the group does not intend to change the accounting policy adopted for the recognition of gains and losses and does not participate in any multi-employer plans, the adoption of this amendment will only impact the format and extent of disclosures presented in the financial statements.

(c) FRs 124 Related party Disclosures is mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 october 2006.

FRs 124 affects the identification of related parties and some other related party disclosure. The adoption of this FRs will only impact the format and extent of disclosure presented in the financial statements.

5.2 new FRs and Amendments to FRs not yet effective for the group and not adopted

The group has not adopted FRs 139 Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement and the consequential amendments resulting from FRs 139 which effective date is deferred to a date to be announced by the malaysian Accounting standards Board (‘mAsB’). FRs 139 establishes the principles for the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities including circumstances under which hedge accounting is permitted. By virtue of the exemption provided under paragraph 103AB of FRs 139, the impact of applying FRs 139 on its financial statements upon first adoption of the standard as required by paragraph 30(b) of FRs 108 is not disclosed.

The group has also not adopted the following FRs and amendments that have been issued as at the date of authorisation of these financial statements but are not yet effective for the group. The Directors do not anticipate that the application of these standards when they are effective will have a material impact on the results and the financial position of the group.

(a) FRs which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2007

FRs 107 Cash Flow statements FRs 111 Construction Contracts FRs 112 income Taxes FRs 118 Revenue FRs 120 Accounting for government grants and Disclosure of government Assistance FRs 134 interim Financial Reporting FRs 137 provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent Assets

These amendments align the mAsB’s FRs with the equivalent international Accounting standards (‘iAs’), both in terms of form and content. The adoption of these standards will only impact the form and content of disclosures presented in the financial statements. The group will apply this amendment for its annual period beginning 1 April 2008.

(b) Framework for the preparation and presentation of Financial statements (‘Framework’) which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2007

The Framework sets out the concepts that underlie the preparation and presentation of financial statements for external users. it is not an mAsB approved accounting standard and hence does not define standards for any particular measurement or disclosure issue. The group will apply this Framework for its annual period beginning 1 April 2008.

5.2 new FRs and Amendments to FRs not yet effective for the group and not adopted (continued)

(c) Amendments and iC interpretations which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2007

Amendment to FRs 121 The effects of Changes in Foreign exchange Rates - net investment in a Foreign operation. This amendment results in exchange differences arising from a monetary item that forms part of the group’s net investment in a foreign operation to be recognised in equity irrespective of the currency in which the monetary item is denominated and if whether the monetary item results from a transaction with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. previously, exchange differences arising from such transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries would be accounted for in the income statement or in equity depending on the currency of the monetary item. The group will apply this amendment for its annual period beginning 1 April 2008.

5.3 new FRs and iC interpretations not relevant to the group’s operations

FRs 6: exploration for and evaluation of mineral Resources

iC interpretation 1: Changes in existing Decommissioning, Restoration and similar liabilities

iC interpretation 2 : members’ shares in Co-operative entities and similar instruments

iC interpretation 5 : Rights to interests arising from Decommissioning, Restoration and environmental Rehabilitation Funds

iC interpretation 7 : Applying the Restatement Approach under FRs 1292004 Financial Reporting in hyperinflationary economies

iC interpretation 8 : scope of FRs 2

6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING ESTIMATES AND JuDGEMENTS

6.1 Change in estimates

FRs 116 property, plant and equipment requires the review of the residual value and remaining useful life of an item of property, plant and equipment at least at each year end. The group and the Company have revised their estimate on residual value of the motor vehicles to be based on their current market value of the same model. The revisions were accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimates. As a result, the depreciation charges of the group and of the Company for the current year have been increased by Rm297,420 and Rm145,200 respectively.

6.2 key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:

(a) impairment of goodwill on consolidation

The group determines whether goodwill on consolidation is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value-in-use of the subsidiaries to which goodwill is allocated. estimating a value-in-use amount requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the subsidiaries and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Further details are disclosed in note 15. however, charges in estimation of the value-in-use would affect future operating results.

(b) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

The estimates of the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for the property, plant and equipment are based on commercial and production factors. Changes in the expected level of usage could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets. Therefore, future depreciation charges could be revised.

55Formis Resources Berhad • annual report 2008

6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING ESTIMATES AND JuDGEMENTS (continued)

6.2 key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

(c) Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses and capital allowances can be utilised. significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

(d) income taxes

There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination may be different from the initial estimate. The group recognises tax liabilities based on its understanding of the prevailing tax laws and estimates of whether such taxes will be due in the ordinary course of business. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.

(e) Allowance for doubtful debts of receivables

The group makes allowance for doubtful debts on an assessment of the recoverability of receivables. Allowance are applied to receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Directors and management specifically analyse historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trend and changes in customer payment terms when making a judgement to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful debts or receivables. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying amount of receivables.

The freehold development property which was reclassified to assets of disposal groups held for sale in the previous financial year was charged to a bank for term loan and revolving credit facilities granted to certain subsidiaries.

The freehold development property is intended to be sold free from encumbrances and the proceeds from the sale are to be utilised to settle all outstanding term loan and revolving credit balances including interest owing by the said subsidiaries. in the event the sale proceeds fall short of the outstanding amount owed, the bank has agreed that it will have no recourse against the group for such shortfall.

upon adoption of FRs 5 in previous financial year, a revaluation exercise was carried out on 8 August 2006 by an independent professional valuer, messrs Khong & Jaafar sdn. Bhd., to determine the fair value of this property. Based on the valuation report, the market value of the property is Rm91,000,000 and this gave rise to a shortfall of Rm7,956,493 as compared to the outstanding amount owed to the bank. As the bank has no recourse against the group for such shortfall, an impairment loss of Rm7,956,493 was made to set off against the bank borrowing in the previous financial year.

(i) During the financial year, the long term leasehold shop office previously reclassified from property, plant and equipment amounting to Rm184,800 was disposed off for an amount of Rm540,000.

(ii) During the financial year, the freehold land previously reclassified from investment properties amounting to Rm3,792,735 was disposed off for an amount of Rm2,000,000. At the same time, a freehold land amounting to Rm32,265 has ceased to be classified as disposal groups held for sale as the said land has been discharged from commitment to sell. hence, in accordance to FRs 5, the lower of its carrying amount before the asset was classified as held for sale and its recoverable amount has been classified to investment property under non-current asset.

in addition, the group has entered into a sale and purchase agreement during the financial year to dispose a long term leasehold shop office amounting to Rm627,250. however, the disposal has yet to be realised as at end of the financial year because the strata title of the said land has not been issued by the relevant authorities. hence, the said property has been reclassified from investment property to disposal groups classified as held for sale.

(iii) Term loan iii and the revolving credit facilities are secured by a legal charge over the group’s development property. The term loan and revolving credits bear interest at 6.70% (2007: 6.70%) and 8.90% (2007: 8.90%) per annum respectively. The bank has agreed to fully settle the amount outstanding through proceeds to be received from the eventual sale of the development property with no further recourse against the group in the event of any shortfall. As at 31 march 2008, the development property has a fair value of Rm91 million (as explained in note 13) and the total outstanding borrowings together with interest accrued approximate the fair value of the development property. on the basis of the bank having no further recourse, the group has not accrued any interest expense in excess of the said value. The interest attributable would have been an additional Rm49.748 million (2007: Rm37.904 million) should the interest have continued to be accrued above the said value.

(iv) Term loan i is secured by a legal charge over the group’s short term leasehold land and building and is repayable in full by way of crystallisation of the said property at a value of Rm3,500,000. The bank has agreed that the term loan is non-interest bearing.

(v) Term loan ii which was secured by a legal charge over aforesaid freehold land disposed off during the financial year has been repaid by using the proceeds from the disposal as mentioned in (ii) above. The remaining balance of term loan ii amounting to Rm1,825,000 has been waived by the bank.

43. FINANCIAL INSTRuMENTS

(a) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Board of Directors recognises the importance of financial risk management in the overall management of the group’s business. A sound risk management system will not only mitigate financial risk but will be able to create opportunities if risk elements are properly managed.

The group’s overall financial risk management objective is to ensure the group creates value for its shareholders while minimising potential adverse effects on the performance of the group. Financial risk management is carried out through risk reviews, internal control systems and adherence to the group’s financial risk management policies set out as follows:

(i) Foreign currency risk

The group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of the foreign currency denominated transactions entered into by the group during the course of business. The currencies involved are primarily us Dollar, pound sterling, singapore Dollar and euro. Transactions in all other currencies are minimal. The group monitors the movement in foreign currency exchange rates closely to ensure their exposure is minimised. The group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge these risks.

The net unhedged financial assets and liabilities of the group that are not demominated in their functional currencies are as follows:

(ii) Interest rate risk

The group’s exposure to risk of changes in interest rates is related primarily to the group’s cash deposits placed with licensed banks and borrowings. interest rate exposure arising from the group’s borrowings is managed through the use of fixed and floating rates debts. The group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge these risks.

The following tables set out the carrying amounts, the weighted average effective interest rates as at the balance sheet date and the remaining maturities of the group’s and the Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk:

(a) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)

(iii) Liquidity and cash flow risks

The group actively manages its operating cash flows and debt maturity profile so as to ensure all commitments and funding needs are met. As part of the overall liquidity management, it is the group’s policy to ensure continuity in servicing its future cash obligations by forecasting its cash commitments and maintaining sufficient level of cash and cash equivalents to meet its working capital requirements. in addition, the group maintains sufficient banking facilities to meet its operational needs.

(iv) Credit risk

Credit risk, which is the risk of counterparties defaulting, is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Credit evaluations are performed on customers requiring credit exceeding a certain amount and by limiting the group’s business associations to parties with high credit worthiness. Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that the group is exposed to minimal credit risk.

As at balance sheet date, the group has trade receivables of Rm40,288,345 (2007: Rm46,692,207) which has been outstanding longer than the normal credit period and a total placement of Rm29,337,772 (2007: Rm31,315,550) in deposits with major licensed banks in malaysia. other than as mentioned, the group has no significant concentration of credit risk. The maximum exposures to credit risk are represented by the carrying amounts of the financial assets in the balance sheet.

(b) Fair values

The carrying amounts of financial instruments of the group and of the Company as at the balance sheet date approximate their fair values due to the relatively short term maturity of the financial instruments except as set out below:

(b) Fair values (continued)

The methods and assumptions used by management to determine fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

(i) other investments - Quoted investments in malaysia

The fair value of quoted investments in malaysia is determined by reference to the stock exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of the business on the balance sheet date.

(ii) other investments – Transferable golf memberships

The fair value of transferable golf memberships is at their current market price.

(iii) other receivables

Fair value of long term other receivables has been determined using discounted cash flows technique. The discount rates used are based on average cost of debts of the group of 6.19%.

(iv) hire purchase and lease creditors

Fair value of these borrowings has been determined using discounted cash flows technique. The discount rates used are based on the average cost of debts of the group of 6.19%.

(c) Call and put options
