Realised and Unrealised Profits
On 25 March 2010, Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”) issued a directive to all listed issuers pursuant to Paragraphs 2.06 and 2.23 of Bursa Malaysia Main Market Listing Requirements. The directive requires all listed issuers to disclose the breakdown of the retained profits or accumulated losses as at the end of the reporting period, into realised and unrealised profits or losses.
On 20 December 2010, Bursa Malaysia further issued guidance on the disclosure and the format required.
The breakdown of retained profits of the Group and of the Company as at the reporting date, into realised and unrealised profits, pursuant to the directive, is as follows:
The determination of realised and unrealised profits is based on the Guidance of Special Matter No. 1, Determination of Realised and Unrealised Profits or Losses in the Context of Disclosures Pursuant to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Listing Requirements, issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants on 20 December 2010.
Accordingly, the unrealised retained profits of the Group and of the Company as disclosed above excludes translation gains and losses on monetary items denominated in a currency other than the functional currency and foreign exchange contracts, as these gains and losses are incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Group and of the Company, and are hence deemed as realised.
The disclosure of realised and unrealised profits above is solely for complying with the disclosure requirements stipulated in the directive of Bursa Malaysia and shall not be applied for any other purposes.
