Description
Metrod Holdings Berhad ("Metrod" or "the Company") - Valuation on Non-Current Assets pursuant to Paragraph 9.19(46) of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad

(a) Purpose & Rationale of the Valuation

 

Since the financial year (2023), the Group changed its accounting policy for the valuation of its Land and Buildings from the historical cost method to the fair value model. The Board was of the view that the historical cost method no longer provided a meaningful representation of the true value of these assets, as market conditions had changed significantly since their acquisition.

 

The adoption of the fair value model ensures that the Group’s financial statements reflect current market conditions and the actual worth of its assets. This approach provides a more accurate, reliable, and relevant assessment of the Group’s net worth and financial position.

 

The Board believes that this change enhances the relevance of Metrod Group’s financial reporting while also strengthening investor and lender confidence. By improving transparency and aligning asset values with market realities, the fair value model is expected to enhance shareholder value and facilitate better access to capital markets and funding at competitive interest rates.

 

Accordingly, an announcement explaining the purpose and rationale for this change in accounting policy was made to the stock exchange on 28 February 2025, in compliance with disclosure requirements. In line with this policy, an independent valuation was conducted at the end of the 2025 financial year, and the required particulars are disclosed in the subsequent paragraphs.

 

(b) Revaluation Surplus or Deficit

 

Arising from the said revaluation exercise, a revaluation surplus (net of deferred tax) amounting to RM11.73 million was recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

 

(c) Effect of the Revaluation Surplus on the Net Assets per Share of the Group

 

The revalued amount has been incorporated in the interim financial results of the Company for the period ended 31 December 2025. The effect on the net assets per share of the Company arising from the revaluation exercise is as follows: -
