Remarks :
In accordance with the Malaysian Accounting Standard Board ("MASB") Standard No. 25 on "Income Taxes", the Group has changed its accounting policy with respect to the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. This change in accounting policy has been adopted retrospectively and has the effect of reducing taxation and thus increasing net profit for the three quarters ended 31st March 2003 by RM0.4 million.
