Auditors’ report of the ABC Group for the financial year ended day/month/year

In the auditors’ report, the auditors have included an emphasis of matter in respect of the use of going-concern as the basis for the preparation of the financial statements of the ABC Group.

The auditors reported that the financial statements of ABC Group and have a net current liabilities of RMXXX million and RMXXX million respectively as at day/month/year. However, the financial statements of the ABC Group and of ABC Berhad have been prepared on a going concern basis. The application of the going concern basis is based on the assumption that ABC Group and ABC Berhad will be able to complete the Financial Regularisation Plan within the anticipated timeframe and that the ABC Group will be able to achieve sustainable and viable operations in the foreseeable future and consequently, the realisation of the assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. In this connection, the directors of ABC Berhad are confident that the Financial Regularisation Plan would be completed successfully within the anticipated timeframe.

Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should ABC Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

Sample Disclosure – Accounting Policy On Plantation Development Expenditure (28 April 2009)

Plantation Development Expenditure

Plantation development expenditure comprises assets held for plantation development activities. These assets include land and buildings used for the purpose of plantation development, infrastructure costs such as roads and bridges attached on the plantation estates, cost of planting and development of crops.

This is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Freehold land is stated at cost and is not depreciated.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write off the cost over their estimated useful lives. The principal annual rates of depreciation are:

Freehold buildings                               2%

Leasehold buildings                             over the lease period

Bridges and roads                                5%

Mature plantations                               25 years

Cost of preparation of agriculture land, planting, replanting and upkeep of crops, together with other incidental costs are capitalised as immature plantations and transferred to mature plantations account when the trees have matured and meet the criteria for commercial production.

Mature plantations are amortised over the estimated productive life of the trees estimated to be 25 years. The period of the plantations’ yield was determined by vegetative growth calculated and estimated by the management.

Replanting expenditure is expensed to the income statement immediately in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
