Remarks :
The change in accounting policy with respect to the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities in compliance with MASB No. 25 has been accounted for retrospectively and has the effect of increasing taxation by RM31.6 million and reducing the minority interest as well as net profit for the year ended 30th June 2002 by RM3.3 million and RM28.3 million respectively. This change also has the effect of increasing the net tangible assets per share to RM3.20.
