At the date of these financial statements, the Organisation has not completed itsquantification of the financial effects of the differences between Private EntitiesReporting Standards and accounting standards under the MPERS.

(b) Impairment of Assets

(c) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business.

At each balance sheet date, the Organisation reviews the carrying amounts of itsassets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any suchindication exists, impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their recoverable amounts. Recoverable amount is the higher of netselling price and value in use, which is measured by reference to discounted futurecash flows.

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the statement of income andexpenditure immediately.

Cost is determined using the weighted average method and represents cost ofpurchase.

Gains or losses arising from the disposal of property, plant and equipment isdetermined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carryingamount of the asset and is recognised as income or expense in the income statement.

Leasehold land and building are depreciated over the period of the respective leases.Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment is provided for on a straightline basis to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over the estimateduseful life, at the following annual rates:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation andimpairment losses. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairmentlosses is in accordance with Note 2.3(b).

The principal exchange rates used for each respective unit of foreign currency rulingat the balance sheet date are as follows:

Income is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated withthe transaction will flow to the Organisation and the amount of the income can bemeasured reliably.

Donations from individuals, corporations, foundations and grants arerecognised on the receipts basis.

The recognition of donations on the receipts basis represents a departure fromthe provisions of the accounting standard (“MASB 9 : Revenue”) as issued bythe Malaysian Accounting Standards Board. MASB 9 requires revenue of suchnature to be recognised on an accrual or systematic and rational basis.However, the Board of Trustees is of the opinion that compliance with theprovisions of MASB 9 would be misleading to users and the effect of such adeparture from the requirements of MASB 9 may be insignificant to the resultsof the Organisation.

Interest, licensing, royalty and income from events and promotions arerecognised on an accrual basis.

Sale of inventories are recognised when the Organisation has transferred to thebuyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods.

Gains and losses on the disposal of investments are calculated as thedifference between net sales proceeds and the carrying amount and arerecorded on occurrence of the sale transaction.
