SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 8 Chairman's Statement ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, I AM PLEASED TO PRESENT THE ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD FOR THE 13 MONTHS ENDED 31 JULY 2009. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE For the period ended 31 July 2009, SILK Holdings Berhad (SILK or the Group) recorded a loss before tax of RM 37.3 million on the back of an improved revenue of RM 40.9 million. This marks a reduction in loss before tax of 47.1%, compared with the pre-tax loss after excluding one-time gain of RM 70.5 million. Revenue improved 23.6% to RM 40.9 million from RM 33.1 million recorded for the previous fnancial year. In addition, the fnancial performance was also augmented by the signifcant improvement in the Groups ability to manage costs. Although the Kajang SILK Highway is maturing and requires increasing levels of maintenance, the Group has managed to peg these expenditures to that of the prior year The improved results have enabled the Group to meet its debt obligations during the period. During the fnancial period, Sistem Lingkaran-Lebuhraya Kajang Sdn Bhd paid the minimum annual Ijarah Rental obligation of RM39.4 million together with an Excess Funds payment of RM 9.2 million to its Sukuk Mudharabah lenders. OPERATING CONDITIONS Despite tentative signs of economic stabilisation in several economies in recent months, the major advanced economies remain in severe recession. Meanwhile, the conditions in the international fnancial system have yet to normalise. The Malaysian economy has been adversely impacted by these negative global developments economy with our own economy contracting by 6.2% and 3.9% in the frst and second quarters of 2009 respectively. The domestic economy is expected to improve in the second half of the year, supported by stabilisation in global economic conditions. This condition is reinforced by the accelerated implementation of the fscal measures, the further moderation in infation, continued access to fnancing, as well as from the cumulative efects of the accommodative monetary environment. At the operating level, SILKs subsidiary, Kajang SILK Highway recorded trafc volume of 39.3 million vehicles for the period under review. Average Daily Trafc Volume improved to 99,170 vehicles per day, which is a 14.2% improvement over the Average Daily Trafc Volume of 86,850 vehicles per day recorded in the previous fnancial year. After excluding the non- recurrent items from the loan restructuring, this improvement consequently resulted in an increased operating proft before interest of RM 25.1 million in 2009 compared to RM 20.4 million recorded in the previous fnancial year. CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS SILK has during the course of the period under review, carried out various strategic and tactical initiatives aimed at strengthening the foundation for future growth. Approval of the Regularisation Scheme SILK had announced on 24 November 2008, that it intends to undertake a Regularisation Scheme to address its status under Amended Practice Note 17/2005 of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities (PN17). As a company under PN17, the Group had limited options as to how to move forward. It was also at great risk of being de- listed, which would have been detrimental to all its shareholders. Doing nothing and remaining status quo also clearly not an option. It had to have a meaningful strategy to generate new sources of cash and revenue. Unfortunately, at the time, SILK had neither cash, nor cash generating assets. Borrowing to acquire cash generating assets is also not possible, given its PN17 status. As such, the main priority was to implement a series of actions that would enable SILK to address these issues quickly, efectively and efciently and thereafter to apply for the upliftment of the PN17 status. The Regularisation Scheme is comprised of several components including proposals designed to reconstruct SILKs balance sheet and recapitalise the Company. The proposed acquisition of a new business in a growth industry is to provide future growth opportunities to the Group. Further details relating to the Regularisation Scheme can be found in the Groups Circular to Shareholders dated 8 April 2009. SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 9 Chairman's Statement The Groups shareholders at its reconvened Extraordinary General Meeting held on 20 July 2009 approved the Regularisation Scheme. The High Court has also approved SILKs propose Par Value Reduction exercise on 28 August 2009. SILK is currently in the midst of implementing the various aspects of the Regularisation Scheme and expects this to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2009. Strengthening of managerial resources As SILK progresses, its human capital requirements, particularly at the managerial level, will also evolve accordingly. Given this, during the period under review, SILK took the conscious step to strengthen its managerial resources, particularly those that are core to the Groups operations. The Group foresees that this strengthening will be an ongoing process, with emphasis on enhancing the talent pool of critical functions. SILK frmly believes that the step taken to strengthen the managerial resources is a necessary and prudent long-term investment for the Group. PROSPECTS SILKs improved fnancial performance for the period ended 31 July 2009 is a clear refection of the power of perseverance, as well as the need to continuously change, refocus ones priorities and adapt to changing situations. Existing highway business SILK in its present form, with the core business in highway operations is expected to continue to incur accounting losses in the immediate to medium term. This is consistent with the nature of an infrastructure company, which has a long gestation period. At the operating level, eforts are being taken in the immediate term to contain and manage operational costs, including detailed identifcation of critical and non-critical costs and optimising of highway maintenance works. On a longer term basis, other measures being considered include:- i) Improving trafc fow by promoting development along the highway; ii) Working closely with adjacent highway concessionaires to improve connectivity and increasing trafc throughput; iii) Improving non-toll revenue including: (a) advertising and promotion revenue; and (b) development of rest and service areas and to provide commercial activities including petrol stations New business As part of the strategic objective to enhance the fnancial performance of the Group, the Board has identifed the oil and gas sector as the additional business driver for SILK. The initial investment in this sector is via the acquisition of AQL Aman Sdn Bhd (AQL), the holding company of Jasa Merin (M) Sdn Bhd (Jasa Merin), an ofshore marine support services company, to the oil and gas sector. Having reviewed the oil and gas industry, the Board of SHB is of the view that there are continuing prospects in the Malaysian market for Ofshore Supply Vessels (OSV). Malaysia currently has approximately two hundred and ffty (250) ofshore oil and gas platforms. The planned development work for the Malaysian oil and gas industry is estimated to require approximately sixty (60) to seventy (70) new platforms over the next three (3) years. For every oil and gas platform, an estimated two (2) to three (3) AHTSVs and/or SSVs are required for transportation and logistic support. This would translate to an estimated additional demand for at least one hundred and twenty (120) new ofshore vessels for the period. The demand of OSVs is dependent on the level of activities in the oil and gas industry. At the exploration and development stage, high fuel prices would encourage development and exploration activities undertaken by the oil and gas majors and hence increase the demand for ofshore support services. Where fuel prices are low, it is expected that the oil majors are likely to reduce or postpone some of the activities, given the substantial capital outlay involved. SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 10 However, with oil and gas being a depleting commodity and therefore scarce, it is expected that oil and gas prices will continue to experience an upward movement over the medium to longer term. Given that the majority of Malaysias oil and gas exploration, development and production activities are ofshore, this is expected to translate into continued and increasing demand for ofshore marine support services. Also, given the high cost of mobilisation and demobilisation, the impact of fuctuation in oil prices during the period on the level of exploration and development activities will be somewhat tempered. However, in the event there is a major decline in the fuel price that is sustained over a longer period such that it is not economical for oil and gas majors to continue with the exploration and development activities, this will afect the demand for ofshore support services. In the case of AQL Group however, the risks of impact from fuctuating oil and gas prices is further mitigated as its vessels are mainly chartered to oil and gas majors on time charter contracts ranging from one (1) to ten (10) years. In addition, in view of the large foreign participation in the Malaysian ofshore support services sector, with an estimated 60-65% market share of OSVs, the prospects for local OSV operators to penetrate further into the market are considered bright. In view of the above, AQL Group is in a good position to beneft from the continuing opportunity in the oil and gas sector. In this respect, AQL Group is currently pursuing a renewal and expansion program with the acquisition of six (6) new vessels which have been contracted for construction and are expected to be delivered during 2010 to 2012. From a realistic perspective, it will clearly take time, signifcant efort and continued support from all stakeholders for SILK to achieve what it has set out to accomplish. The task is not insurmountable if everyone in SILK, from the Board to Management to our employees, along with the support of all the shareholders work together to take the Group to greater heights. DIVIDENDS In view of the absence of accumulated retained earnings and given the need to ensure that the Group is viably strengthened and able to achieve long-term and sustainable growth, the Board of Directors are not able to recommend the declaration of any dividend for the period ended 31 July 2009. With improved operating and fnancial performance in the future arising from the successful implementation of the Regularisation Scheme, the Board will revisit and review this position for the beneft of its shareholders. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT On behalf of the Board of Directors, I wish to convey our sincere appreciation to SILKs management, staf and employees, at all levels and across the various functions. The Board is indeed appreciative of the perseverance and dedication shown by the Group staf throughout the challenging period of the last few years. It is my hope that all those connected with SILK will continue to work as one, to ensure the Groups continued success, as it moves forward. My sincerest appreciation also goes out to our Board of Directors for their vision and commitment to guide SILK forward. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Y. Bhg. Dato Seri Syed Zainol Rashid Jamalullail and Y. Bhg. Dato. Ir. Hj. Ibrahim bin Hj. Yakub who will be retiring at this forthcoming Annual General Meeting and who have decided not to seek reappointment to the Board, for their service and contribution to the Company over the years. And most certainly our greatest appreciation is to all our shareholders, big and small, who deserve much praise for continuing to remain with us throughout the challenges and difculties encountered. I sincerely thank you all for this support, without which we could not have come this far. Going forward, we will continue to strive ahead to enhance shareholder value for the long term. Thank you.

SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 27 INTRODUCTION The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance stipulates that the Board of Directors of listed companies should maintain a sound system of internal control to safeguard shareholders investment and Groups assets. Set out below is the Group Statement on Internal Control (Statement), made in compliance with Paragraph 15.27 of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities and the Statement on Internal Control: Guidance for Directors of Public Listed Companies. THE BOARDS RESPONSIBILITY The Board places importance on, and is committed to maintaining a sound system of internal control and efective risk management practices in the Group to ensure good corporate governance. The Board afrms its responsibility for reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the Groups system of internal control and management information systems, including systems for compliance with applicable laws, rules, directives, guidelines and risk management practices. Notwithstanding, as with any internal control system, the Groups system of internal control is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives. It follows, therefore, that the system of internal control can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The Group has in place an on-going process of identifying, evaluating, monitoring and managing the key risks afecting the achievement of its business objectives throughout the period. The Board reviews this process on a quarterly basis. THE GROUPS SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROL Monitoring Mechanisms and Management Style Scheduled periodic meetings of the Board, Board Committees and Management represent the main platform by which the Groups performance and conduct is monitored. The daily running of the business is entrusted to the Chief Operating Ofcer and his management team. Under the purview of the Chief Operating Ofcer, the heads of department are empowered with the responsibility of managing their respective operations. The Chief Operating Ofcer actively communicates the Boards expectations to management at management meetings as well as through attendance at various operations meetings. At these meetings, operational and fnancial risks are discussed and dealt with.

The Group has an integrated ERM structure that enables the Group to identify, evaluate, monitor and manage all key risks pertaining to the business and its environment. The Group strives to maximise every opportunity, and thus seeks to minimise all potential risks through proactive management.

A sound system of internal control therefore depends on a thorough and regular evaluation of the nature and extent of the risks to which the Group is exposed to. To ensure efective risk management within the Group, the following risk management framework has been identifed and implemented throughout the Group. It is acknowledged that risks are very closely integrated with opportunities and returns, and thus has to be managed to ensure that the Group is able to achieve its corporate strategy and objectives.

CORPORATE INFORMATION The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The registered ofce of the Company is located at Suite 2.03, 2nd Floor, Wisma Mirama, Jalan Wisma Putra, 50460 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan. The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 5. There have been no signifcant changes in the nature of the principal activities during the fnancial period. Pursuant to the amendments to the Listing Requirements (LR) of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Bursa Securities) in relation to Practice Note No. 17/2005 (Amended PN17) which is efective from 5 May 2006, the Company on 28 November 2006 announced (First Announcement) that the Company is deemed an Afected Listed Issuer as defned in the Amended PN17 as the auditors have expressed a modifed opinion with emphasis on the Companys going concern in the Companys audited fnancial statements for the period ended 30 June 2006 and the unaudited shareholders equity of approximately RM26.702 million based on its quarterly results for the period ended 30 September 2006 is less than 50% of its issued and paid up capital of RM90 million. As an Afected Listed Issuer, the Company is required to submit a Regularisation Plan as defned in paragraph 8.14C(3) of Bursa Securities LR to the Securities Commission (SC) and other relevant authorities for approval (collectively referred to as the Approving Authority) within 8 months from the date of the First Announcement (Submission Timeframe) or as extended by SC. On 12 December 2008, the Company submitted an application on the Proposed Regularisation Scheme, as disclosed in Note 24(c), to SC for approval. The Proposed Regularisation Scheme was approved by SC on 30 March 2009, and subsequently, by the shareholders of the Company on 20 July 2009. At the date of this report, the Company is implementing the Proposed Regularisation Scheme and is expected to complete the Proposed Regularisation Scheme by end of 2009 as disclosed in Note 25. The fnancial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 14 September 2009. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2.1 Basis of preparation The fnancial statements comply with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable Financial Reporting Standards in Malaysia.The fnancial statements of the Group and of the Company have also been prepared on a historical cost basis. The fnancial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM). 2.2 Summary of signifcant accounting policies (a) Subsidiary and basis of consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the ability to control the fnancial and operating policies so as to obtain benefts from their activities. The existence and efect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group has such power over another entity. In the Companys separate fnancial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the diference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in the income statement. SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 46 Notes To The Financial Statements 31 July 2009 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) 2.2 Summary of signifcant accounting policies (contd) (a) Subsidiary and basis of consolidation (contd) (ii) Basis of consolidation The consolidated fnancial statements comprise the fnancial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the balance sheet date. The fnancial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company. Subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. In preparing the consolidated fnancial statements, intragroup balances, transactions and unrealised gains or losses are eliminated in full. Uniform accounting policies are adopted in the consolidated fnancial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Prior to 1 January 2006, acquisition of subsidiaries that meets the conditions of a merger are allowed to be accounted for using the merger method. The acquisition of the subsidiary, Sistem Lingkaran-Lebuhraya Kajang Sdn. Bhd. (SILK) had been satisfed entirely by the issue of shares in the Company, and has been accounted for by application of the principles of merger accounting. By the merger method of accounting, the results of the Company and its subsidiaries are presented as if the companies have been in combination throughout the current and previous fnancial years. The diference between the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the share capital of the subsidiary acquired is taken to merger reserve. (b) Property, plant and equipment, and depreciation All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefts associated with the item will fow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the fnancial period in which they are incurred. Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided for on a straight line basis to write of the cost of each asset to its residual value over the estimated useful life, at the following annual rates:
Building 2% Motor vehicles 20% Furniture, fttings, computer and ofce equipment 10% to 33 1/3% Renovation 8%
The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each fnancial 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 benefts embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefts are expected from its use or disposal. The diference between the net disposal proceeds, if any and the net carrying amount is recognised in the income statement. SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 47 Notes To The Financial Statements 31 July 2009 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) 2.2 Summary of signifcant accounting policies (contd) (c) Impairment of non-fnancial assets
The carrying amounts of non-fnancial assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated to determine the amount of impairment loss. For the purpose of impairment testing of these assets, recoverable amount is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash fows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs to. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or CGUs fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash fows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifc to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement in the period in which it arises. An impairment loss for an asset 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. The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset is recognised in the income statement. (d) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outfow of resources embodying economic benefts will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to refect the current best estimate. Where the efect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that refects, where appropriate, the risks specifc to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as fnance cost. (e) Expressway development expenditure Expressway Development Expenditure (EDE) comprises development expenditure, upgrading expenditure (including borrowing costs during the period of construction, net of interest income) incurred in connection with the Concession, net of Government grants. EDE is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment loss. Upon commencement of tolling operations, at each balance sheet date, the cumulative actual expenditure on EDE incurred is amortised to the income statement based on the following formula: (Cumulative Actual Less Accumulated Toll Revenue to date ) X Cumulative Actual EDE Amortisation (Projected Total Toll Revenue at beginning of The Concession) of the fnancial period SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 48 Notes To The Financial Statements 31 July 2009 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) 2.2 Summary of signifcant accounting policies (contd) (e) Expressway development expenditure (contd) The projected total toll revenue of the Concession is based on the base case trafc volumes projected by the management, taking into account the minimum toll rates as provided for in the Concession Agreement. The toll revenue projection is updated from time to time to refect latest available information. In the application of these accounting policies, the efects of any change in estimates in a fnancial period will be included in the amortisation for that period. (f) Income tax Income tax on the proft or loss for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of taxable proft for the year and is measured using tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary diferences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary diferences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable proft will be available against which the deductible temporary diferences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary diference arises from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, afects neither accounting proft nor taxable proft. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is to be settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in the proft and loss for the period, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity. (g) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of these assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Such capitalisation ceases when substantially all activities necessary to prepare those assets for their intended use or sale are completed. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. (h) Employee benefts (i) Short term benefts Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as expenses in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences, and short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur. SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 49 Notes To The Financial Statements 31 July 2009 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) 2.2 Summary of signifcant accounting policies (contd) (h) Employee benefts (contd) (ii) Defned contribution plans Defned contribution plans are post-employment beneft plans under which the Group pays fxed contributions into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if any of the funds do not hold sufcient assets to pay all employee benefts relating to the employee services in the current and preceding fnancial years. Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF).
(i) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefts will fow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specifc recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: (i) Toll revenue Toll revenue is accounted for as and when toll is chargeable for the usage of the Expressway. (ii) Interest income Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the efective interest method. (iii) License fees
License fees are recognised based on contract value upon transfer of the signifcant risks and rewards of ownership of the rights. (iv) Advertising income and maintenance fees Advertising income and maintenance fees are recognised when the services are rendered and over the term of the agreements. (v) Rental income
Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. (j) Financial instruments Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are classifed as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends and gains and losses relating to a fnancial instrument classifed as a liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of fnancial instruments classifed as equity are recognised directly in equity. Financial instruments are ofset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to ofset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 50 Notes To The Financial Statements 31 July 2009 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) 2.2 Summary of signifcant accounting policies (contd) (j) Financial instruments (contd) (i) Cash and cash equivalents For the purposes of the cash fow statements, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at bank and deposits at call which have an insignifcant risk of changes in value.
(ii) Receivables Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written of when identifed. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts as at the balance sheet date. (iii) Payables Payables are stated at the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received.
(iv) Sukuk Mudharabah
Sukuk Mudharabah is an Islamic fnancing arrangement issued under the Islamic contract of Mudharabah. Under the Mudharabah, the Group as a Mudharib or an enterpreneur who solely manages the project entered into an Islamic contract with a Rabbul Mal or an investor who solely provides the capital. If the venture is proftable, the proft wil be distributed based on a pre-agreed ratio. In the event of a business loss, the loss shall be borne solely by the provider of the capital. Sukuk Mudharabah is initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received. After initial recognition, Sukuk Mudharabah is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the efective interest method. Further details of the Sukuk Mudharabah in issue are disclosed in Note 13. (v) Cumulative Non-Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares (CN-RPS) The CN-RPS is recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of transaction costs. The CN-RPS is classifed as non-current liabilities in the balance sheet and the preferential dividends are recognised as fnance costs in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
(vi) Hire purchase Hire purchase is initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received. After initial recognition, interest bearing hire purchase is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the efective interest method.
(vii) Equity instruments
Ordinary shares are classifed as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of tax. Equity transaction costs comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction which would otherwise have been avoided. SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 51 Notes To The Financial Statements 31 July 2009 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) 2.2 Summary of signifcant accounting policies (contd) (k) Leases (i) Classifcation
A lease is recognised as a fnance lease if it transfers substantially to the Group all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Leases of land and buildings are classifed as operating or fnance leases in the same way as leases of other assets and the land and buildings elements of a lease of land and buildings are considered separately for the purposes of lease classifcation. All leases that do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards are classifed as operating leases. (ii) Finance leases - the Group as lessee Assets acquired by way of hire purchase or fnance leases are stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair values and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The corresponding liability is included in the balance sheet as borrowings. In calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments, the discount factor used is the interest rate implicit in the lease, when it is practicable to determine; otherwise, the Groups incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct costs are also added to the carrying amount of such assets.
Lease payments are apportioned between the fnance costs and the reduction of the outstanding liability. Finance costs, which represent the diference between the total leasing commitments and the fair value of the assets acquired, are recognised in the proft or loss over the term of the relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period. The depreciation policy for leased assets is in accordance with that for depreciable property, plant and equipment as described in Note 2.2(b). (iii) Operating Leases - the Group as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. The aggregate beneft of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. In the case of a lease of land and buildings, the minimum lease payments or the up-front payments made are allocated, whenever necessary, between the land and the buildings elements in proportion to the relative fair values for leasehold interests in the land element and buildings element of the lease at the inception of the lease. The up-front payment represents prepaid lease payments and are amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (iv) Operating Leases - the Group as lessor Assets leased out under operating leases are presented on the balance sheet according to the nature of the assets. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease (Note 2.2(i)(v)). Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 52 Notes To The Financial Statements 31 July 2009 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) 2.3 Standards and interpretations issued but not yet efective At the date of authorisation of these fnancial statements, the following new FRSs and Interpretations were issued but not yet efective and have not been applied by the Group and Company: Efective for fnancial periods FRS, Amendment to FRS and Interpretation beginning on or after FRS 8 Operating Segments 1 July 2009 FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures 1 January 2010 FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition 1 January 2010 and Measurement IC Interpretation 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives 1 January 2010 IC Interpretation 10 Interim fnancial reporting and impairment 1 January 2010 The new FRSs and Interpretations above are expected to have no signifcant impact on the fnancial statements of the Group and Company upon their initial application. The Group and Company are exempted from disclosing the possible impact, if any, to the fnancial statements upon the initial application of FRS 7 and FRS 139. 2.4 Signifcant accounting estimates and judgements (a) Critical judgements made in applying accounting policies There are no critical judgements made by management in the process of applying the Groups accounting policies that have signifcant efect on the amounts recognised in the fnancial statements. (b) Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a signifcant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fnancial year are discussed below. (i) Amortisation of EDE The cost of EDE and Government grant received is amortised over the Concession Period by applying the formula in Notes 2.2(e). The denominator of the formula includes projected total toll revenue for subsequent years to year 2037 and is based on the latest trafc volume projections prepared using the base case assumptions on trafc volume growth rate multiplied by the toll rates in accordance with the Concession Agreement. The toll revenue projection is updated from time to time to refect latest available information. Changes in the expected trafc volume would impact future amortisation charges. The management has revised the toll revenue projections during the period and the changes in the expected trafc volume have resulted in a decrease in current periods amortisation. (ii) Impairment of investment in subsidiary and EDE The Company determines whether investment in subsidiary and EDE are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value-in-use of investment in subsidiary and EDE. Estimating value-in-use amounts requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash fows from investment in subsidiary and EDE and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash fows. The carrying amounts of investment in subsidiary of the Company and EDE of the Group as at 31 July 2009 was RM160 million and RM920,276,861 (30 June 2008: RM160 million and RM921,109,856) respectively. Further details are disclosed in Note 4 and 5. SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 53 Notes To The Financial Statements 31 July 2009 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) 2.4 Signifcant accounting estimates and judgements (contd) (b) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (contd)
(iii) Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are only recognised for all unused tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances to the extent that it is probable that taxable proft will be available against which the losses and capital allowances can be utilised. Signifcant 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 profts together with future tax planning strategies. No deferred tax assets of the Group are recognised and the unrecognised tax losses of the Group as at 31 July 2009 amounted to RM319,804,456 (30 June 2008: RM279,920,872).

Following the compulsory acquisition of land falling under the Expressway, which was undertaken by the Company pursuant to the Concession Agreement, certain land owners whose land have been acquired, have fled their objection in Court against the Company for higher compensation. In the Company funded stretch, there are 230 cases comprising 200 cases with claims amounting to RM479.54 million while the land owners claim for 30 cases are yet to be determined. Out of the 230 cases, 103 cases have been settled out of court while other cases are still pending Court hearing. Pursuant to the Turnkey Contract dated 31 July 2001 between the Company and SCSB, the amount payable by the Company to SCSB for the land use payments (including expenses and charges incurred by SCSB for the acquisition of land and for removal or resettling of squatters or other occupants on the Expressway) has been contracted at a ceiling amount of RM215 million. Any further amounts that may be awarded by the courts beyond RM215 million will therefore be borne by SCSB. 23.

SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 71 Notes To The Financial Statements 31 July 2009 26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (a) Financial risk management objectives and policies The Groups fnancial risk management policy seek to ensure that adequate fnancial resources are available for the development of the Groups business whilst managing its interest rate risks (both fair value and cash fow), foreign currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Groups policy that no trading in derivative fnancial instruments shall be undertaken.
(b) Interest rate risk
Cash fow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash fows of a fnancial instrument will fuctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a fnancial instrument will fuctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Groups signifcant interest-bearing fnancial assets are mainly short term in nature and have been mostly placed in fxed deposits. The Groups external fnancing comprises primarily the Sukuk Mudharabah, CN-RPS and hire purchase. The Groups interest rate risk arises primarily from interest-bearing borrowings that are obtained for construction of the Expressway. Borrowings obtained at fxed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The information relating to the efective interest rate, maturity dates and proft element of short term deposits, Sukuk Mudharabah, 20% 10-year CN-RPS and hire purchase are as disclosed in their respective notes. (c) Foreign currency risk There were no foreign currency financing facilities obtained by the Group and the Company for the fnancial period ended 31 July 2009 and there is no anticipation of foreign currency risk exposure for future transactions. (d) Credit risk The carrying amount of receivables, including related company receivables, represents the Groups and the Companys maximum exposure to credit risk. The information pertaining to the concentration of credit risk related to the fnancial instruments is disclosed in Note 6. (e) Liquidity risk The Group actively manages its debt maturity profle, operating cash fows and the availability of funding so as to maintain a balance between meeting debt service obligations and covenants, Expressway capital and operating expenditure, and meeting shareholder distribution expectations. (f) Fair values The fair value of the Sukuk Mudharabah is estimated by discounting the expected future cash fows using the indicative market rates available for the instrument. The fair value of hire purchase payable (non-current) has been determined using discounted estimated cash fows. The discount rate used is the current market incremental lending rates for similar types of hire purchase arrangements. It is not practical to estimate the fair value of the CN-RPS due to lack of available market information in respect of similar fnancing arrangements and inability to estimate without incurring excessive costs. SILK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2009 72 Notes To The Financial Statements 31 July 2009 26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTD) (f) Fair values (contd) It is not practical to estimate the fair value of amounts due to a subsidiary due principally to no fxed repayment terms entered into by the parties involved and without incurring excessive costs. However, the Company does not anticipate the carrying amount recorded at balance sheet date to be signifcantly diferent from the value that would eventually be settled. The carrying amounts of fnancial assets and liabilities of the Group and of the Company at the balance sheet date approximated their fair values except for the following: Group Carrying Fair amount value Note RM RM At 31 July 2009 Non-current liabilities: Sukuk Mudharabah 10 744,504,918 1,203,578,571 Hire purchase payable 10 231,074 231,074 At 30 June 2008 Non-current liability: Sukuk Mudharabah 10 752,236,660 752,236,660 The Groups covenanted obligation is at carrying value and not fair value.
27. COMPARATIVES The current periods fnancial statements covered a period of 13 months as the year end of the Group was changed from 30 June to 31 July. Accordingly, comparative amounts for the income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash fow statement and the related notes are not in respect of comparable periods.
