1.4 Chairman Messages

1.4.1 Review of Performance Groups revenue for the financial year ended 30 June 2010 surged by RM39, 131,998 to RM223,434,122, which represented a 21.23% increase over that achieved in the preceding year of RM184,302,124. The Group continues to achieve commendable progressive operating revenue. Internal targets set for management to go all out, not only to sustain our current achievements but to improve substantially on it.

Profit After Income Tax attributable to the Group fell slightly by 6% to RM15, 064,018 as compared to RM16, 027,316 achieved in the previous year. This is because the Group suffered a slight hiccup of having had to write off certain amount against our investment in Lay Hong Berhad in the year under review. If not for this mentioned write off, the Group would have met our internal target of approximately RM20, 000,000 profits for the year under review. The Board deliberated on this writes off and are of unanimous opinion to allow for this painful stand as a matter of prudence and good accounting policy. With this behind us, we now move forward exciting. Like an old Chinese saying goes, BITTER FIRST, SWEET TASTE LATER.

Although the world is still in midst of global economic crisis, with ever rising cost of production and against pressure from competitors and consumers pricing. Income Tax went up by 61.6% from RM8, 422,511 to RM13,610,392. Profit After

The basic net earnings per share of the Group for the financial year, 2010 fell accordingly to 17.31sen (2009 20.54sen), based on the weighted average number of 96,031,500 ordinary shares (2009 78,045,000) of RM1 each, in issue as at 30 June 2010.

ZARFARIE BINTI ARON (195645)

As at 30 June 2010, Groups shareholders equity stood at RM199, 330,061 (2009 - RM168, 662,503 ) whilst Groups net tangible assets per share fell to RM1.94 in 2010 from RM2.00 per share in 2009.

1.4.3. Dividends

Difficult trading and business conditions and environment are still in year, ahead. The Board is always constantly on the workout for a solution to conserve financial resources of the Group to meet capital, operating and investing expenditure and at same time to reward our shareholders for their faith, support and loyalty to the Group. This is the stance that your Board has adopted consistently over the years. We have work out a Win-Win formulation that should ensure a steady cash flow for the Groups requirements at same time, able to service our dividends to shareholders in an orderly manner in line with an improvement in our resources. The Board has already declared an interim dividend of 1.5 sen (tax-exempt) per share in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2010, amounting to RM1,440,203, which will be paid, by month end, on 26 November 2010.

PART II: COMPLIANCE with FRSs

2.1. FRS 3: Business Combination

The consolidated financial statements of this company include the financial statements of their company and its subsidiary companies made up to the balance sheet date using the purchase method of accounting.

Under this method, the results of the subsidiary companies acquired are included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Groups interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities represents goodwill. Any excess of the Groups interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in income statement. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation and the consolidated financial statements reflect external transactions only.

This company has followed FRS 3, the consolidated financial statements and consolidated balance sheet of this company can refer to page 39 44 in Annual Report London Biscuits Berhad.

2.2. FRS 117: Leases

i)

Finance Leases

If the assets acquired by way of finance 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 or Company's incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct costs are also added to the carrying amount of such assets.

ZARFARIE BINTI ARON (195645)

According to the company, lease payments are apportioned between the finance costs and the reduction of the outstanding liability. Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total leasing commitments and the fair value of the assets acquired, are recognised in income statement 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.

All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost as modified by the revaluation of certain freehold land and buildings and certain plant and machinery less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. No depreciation is provided on freehold land, freehold land and buildings-inprogress and plant and machinery under installation. All other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis to write off the cost of each asset to their residual value over the estimated useful lives of the assets concerned.

The principal annual rates used are as follows:-

Freehold buildings 1% Plant & machinery 5% Plant and machinery at group cost 6 2/3% Motor vehicles 20% Furniture & fittings 10% Office & laboratory equipment 10% Renovations & electrical fittings 10%

The Group and Company adopts a policy to revalue its freehold land and buildings every 5 years from the date of last revaluation. Surplus arising from revaluation is credited directly to revaluation reserve. Deficit in excess of the revaluation reserve arising from previous revaluation is taken to the income statement.

ZARFARIE BINTI ARON (195645)

The residual value, useful life 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.

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 net carrying amount is recognised in income statement. Refer to note to the account no.3 in the page 59 60 in London Biscuits Berhad Annual Report, see how this company discloses depreciation of assets in their income statement and balance sheet.

ii)

Operating Leases

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. The aggregate benefit 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 terms.

2.4. FRS 136: Impairment of Assets

The carrying values of assets in London Biscuits Berhad, other than inventories, are reviewed for impairment when there is an indication that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is

12

ZARFARIE BINTI ARON (195645)

measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. An impairment loss is charged to the income statement immediately unless the asset is carried at revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of previously recognised revaluation surplus for the same asset.

Subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the income statement immediately, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount. A reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited directly to revaluation surplus. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognised as an expense in the income statement, a reversal of that impairment loss is recognised as income in the income statement.

Refer to note to the account no.20

2.5. FRS 138: Intangible Assets

(i)

Goodwill on Consolidation

Goodwill on consolidation represents the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the Group's share of the fair values of the identifiable net assets of subsidiaries at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill on consolidation is retained in the consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amount of the goodwill is reviewed annually and is written down for impairment where it is considered necessary. The impairment value of goodwill is taken to the consolidated income statement.

If after reassessment, the Group's interest in the fair values of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiaries exceeds the cost of the business combinations, the excess is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.

(ii)

Other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair values as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on a straightline basis over the estimated economic useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each balance sheet date.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired either individually or at the cashgenerating unit level. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is also reviewed annually to determine whether the useful life assessment continues to be supportable.

2.6. FRS 140: Investment Properties

Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Gain or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the income statement in the year in which they arise.

Investment properties are derecognised when they have either been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. On the derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged to the income statement; any amount in the revaluation reserve relating to the investment property is transferred to retained earnings.
