NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Significant Accounting Policies (Contd.)

(c) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all itssubsidiaries. Subsidiaries are those companies in which the Group has a long term equity interest andwhere it has power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefitstherefrom.

Subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition methodof accounting, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in theconsolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date ofdisposal, as appropriate. The assets and liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at thedate of acquisition and these values are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. The differencebetween the cost of an acquisition and the fair value of the Group's share of the net assets of theacquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition is included in the consolidated balance sheet as goodwillor negative goodwill arising on consolidation.

Intragroup transactions, balances and resulting unrealised gains are eliminated on consolidation andthe consolidated financial statements reflect external transactions only. Unrealised losses are eliminatedon consolidation unless costs cannot be recovered.

The gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary is the difference between net disposal proceeds and theGroup's share of its net assets together with any unamortised balance of goodwill and exchangedifferences.

Minority interests in the consolidated balance sheet consist of the minorities' share of the fair value ofthe identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree as at the acquisition date and the minorities' shareof movements in the acquiree's equity since then.

(d) Associated Companies

The Group treats as associated companies those companies in which the Group has a long term equityinterest and is in a position to exercise significant influence. Significant influence is the power toparticipate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the associated companies but not controlover those policies.

Investments in associated companies are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by theequity method of accounting based on the audited or management financial statements of the associatedcompanies.

Under the equity method of accounting, the Group's share of post acquisition profits less losses ofassociated companies is included in the consolidated income statements. The Group's interest inassociated companies is carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus the Group's share of post-acquisition retained profits or accumulated losses and other reserves as well as goodwill on acquisition.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and the associated companies are eliminated tothe extent of the Group's interest in the associated companies. Unrealised losses are eliminated unlesscost cannot be recovered.

The difference between the purchase consideration and the fair value of net assets acquired is reflectedas goodwill or reserve on acquisition and is not amortised. The carrying value of the goodwill is reviewedannually and is written down for impairment where it is considered necessary.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Significant Accounting Policies (Contd.)

(e) Investments in Subsidiaries, Associated Companies and Other Non-Current Investments

The investments in subsidiaries, associated companies and other non-current investments are stated atcost less impairment losses.

On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amountsis recognised in the income statement.

(f) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value ofthe identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary, associates or jointly controlled entity at the date ofacquisition.

Goodwill is stated at cost less impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed at each balance sheet date andwill be written down for impairment losses when it arises.

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is presented separately in the balance sheet whilegoodwill arising on the acquisition of associates and jointly controlled entities is included within therespective carrying amounts of these investments.

Negative goodwill represents the excess of the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiableassets and liabilities of a subsidiary, associates or jointly controlled entity at the date of acquisition overthe cost of acquisition.

To the extent that negative goodwill relates to expectation of future losses and expenses that areidentified in the plan of acquisition and can be measured reliably, but which are not identifiable liabilitiesat the date of acquisition, that portion of negative goodwill is recognised in the income statementwhen the future losses and expenses are recognised.

(g) Foreign Currencies

(i) Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in Ringgit Malaysia at rates of exchangeruling at the transaction dates. At each balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items aretranslated into Ringgit Malaysia at exchange rates ruling at that date unless hedged by forwardforeign exchange contracts, in which case the rates specified in such forward contracts are used.Non-monetary items initially denominated in foreign currencies, which are carried at historical costare translated using the historical rate as of the date of acquisition and non-monetary items whichare carried at fair value are translated using the exchange rate that existed when the values weredetermined.

(h) Aircraft Modifications/retrofits, Spare Engines, Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairmentlosses.

Depreciation of aircraft modifications/retrofits, spare engines, property and equipment is provided ona straight line basis to write off the cost of each asset up to its residual value over the estimated usefullife at the following annual rates:

(i) Aircraft modifications/retrofits are depreciated over 7 years or the remaining life of the lease,whichever is lesser.

(ii) Spare engines are depreciated over their estimated useful commercial lives, which ranges from 7 to15 years, having regard to their planned withdrawal from services.

(iii) Repairable and rotable aircraft spares are depreciated over the remaining lease period of the aircraftto which they relate.

(iv) Land and Buildings

Freehold land is not depreciated. Leasehold land is depreciated over the lease period, ranging from60 to 99 years.

Buildings are depreciated over periods ranging from 5 to 40 years.

Certain leasehold land and buildings of the Company were revalued by the directors in 1985 basedupon a valuation report dated 15 November 1984 prepared by the Government Valuers using the"Open Market Value" basis. The directors have not adopted a policy of regular revaluations ofthese assets. As permitted under the transitional provisions of International Accounting StandardNo. 16 (Revised): Property, Plant and Equipment adopted by the Malaysian Accounting StandardsBoard, these assets continue to be stated at their 1985 valuation less accumulated depreciation andaccumulated impairment losses.

174 Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05(10601-W)

(h) Aircraft Modifications/retrofits, Spare Engines, Property and Equipment (Contd.)

(v) Hotel Properties

Hotel properties comprise land and the hotel buildings, including the integral plant and machinery.

No depreciation is provided on hotel properties. The directors are of the opinion that it is moreappropriate not to depreciate hotel properties since it is the Company's practice to maintain all itshotel properties to a high standard and condition in order to maintain residual values at leastequal to their respective book values such that depreciation would be insignificant. The relatedmaintenance expenditures are dealt with in the income statement.

In order to establish whether hotel properties have maintained residual value at least equal totheir respective book values, all hotel properties are appraised by independent professional valuersat least once in every three (3) years.

Surpluses arising from revaluation are dealt with in the Asset Revaluation Reserve. Any deficitarising is offset against the Asset Revaluation Reserve to the extent of a previous increase for thesame property. In all other cases, a decrease in carrying amount is charged to the income statement.

Upon the disposal of an item of hotel properties, the difference between the net disposal proceedsand the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement.

(vi) Operating Equipment, Office Equipment and Motor Vehicles

Depreciation is provided to the residual values of all operating equipment, office equipment andmotor vehicles on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 2 to 10years.

Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or negativegoodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a businesscombination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

(j) Income Tax (Contd.)

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset isrealised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted atthe balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except when it arises froma transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged orcredited directly in equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition, in whichcase the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or negative goodwill.

Gains or losses arising from forward contracts on foreign currencies, fuel and interest rates are recognisedupon maturity in the income statement as realised exchange differences, component of fuel costs andlease rental payments respectively.

(x) Impairment of Assets

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whetherthere is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, impairment is measured by comparingthe carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. Recoverable amount is the higher ofnet selling price and value in use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flows.

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement immediately, unless the assetis carried at a revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluationdecrease to the extent of any unutilised previously recognised revaluation surplus for the same asset.

(b) On 11 September 2001, the Company issued RM800 million Zero Dividend Redeemable ConvertiblePreference Shares (''RCPS'') of RM0.01 each at an issue price of RM1.00 each to Intelek Perkasa Berhad.The RCPS is redeemable by the Company within thirty days of its fifth anniversary (11 September 2006)failing which it will be automatically converted into ordinary shares at a conversion price of RM3.45 perRCPS share. The RCPS was constituted by the Subscription Agreement dated 29 August 2001.

The RCPS Investors will have the benefits of a put/call option arrangement granted by MoF as follows:

(i) the MoF will be entitled to exercise the call option to purchase all the RCPS from the RCPS Investorsseven days prior to the fifth anniversary from the date of the issue of the RCPS (''Call Option'') at anexercise price as set out below; and

(ii) conversely, the RCPS Investors will be entitled to exercise the put option to dispose of all the RCPSat a selling price as set out below at the end of the five years from the date of issuance of the RCPS(''Put Date'') if and only if the Call Option is not exercised (''Put Option'').

Under the put/call arrangement, the exercise price for the RCPS payable by the MoF will be at a premiumon the issue price of the RCPS to be calculated to give the RCPS Investors an equivalent return similar to5-year zero-coupon fixed income papers issued or guaranteed by the Government that are issued ortrading at around the time when the RCPS are issued (''Put Price'').

Subsequently, the Company can redeem the RCPS at its discretion within thirty (30) days immediatelyafter the Put Date at a price equivalent to the Put Price plus interest accrued from the Put Date to theactual date of redemption by the Company calculated using one month Treasury Bills.

As mentioned in prior years’ reports, the Company entered into an agreement with PMB whereby theCompany agreed to redeem the RCPS upon maturity, thereby changing the nature of the RCPS from anequity instrument to a debt instrument as defined by Malaysian Accounting Standard Board ("MASB")24: Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation. PMB then agreed to pay the redemption sumupon maturity, resulting in the RCPS ceasing to be an obligation of the Company.

The Company has also obtained an undertaking from the MoF that in the event the MoF were tobecome the holder of the RCPS through the put and call mechanism described above, the RCPS will beallowed to lapse without any further consideration payable by the Company. Accordingly, the RCPS,comprising share capital of RM8 million and share premium of RM792 million was derecognised in thefinancial statements of the Company.

The unused tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances are available indefinitely for offset against futuretaxable profits of the subsidiaries in which those items arose. Deferred tax assets have not been recognisedin respect of these items as they may not be used to offset taxable profits of the other subsidiaries in theGroup and they have arisen in subsidiaries that have a recent history of losses.

The Company is in the midst of applying for an extension of its tax exemption status. As such, deferred taxassets have not been recognised in respect of the unabsorbed capital allowances and other deductibletemporary differences.

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Group operates globally and generates revenue in various currencies. The Group's airline operationscarry certain financial and commodity risk, including the effects of changes in fuel prices, foreign currencyexchange rates, interest rates and the market value of its investments. The Group's overall riskmanagement approach is to minimise the effects of such volatility on its financial performance andreflect an inclination towards risk averse policies.

The Group's policy is not to trade in derivatives but to use these instruments to hedge against anticipatedexposures.

(b) Fuel Price Risk

The Group's earnings are affected by changes in the price of jet fuel. The Group manages this risk byusing instruments such as forward contracts, options, collars, caps and swaps. The Group's riskmanagement policy is to hedge up to 80% of the annual budget volume for 12 months and up to 50%of the volume for the tenure of such contracts up to 48 months.

(c) Interest Rate Risk

The Group's earnings are affected by changes in interest rates where they have an impact on interestincome and expense from cash, short term deposits and interest bearing financial assets and liabilitiesand operating lease payments.

The Group's policy on managing its interest rate risk is by maintaining a prudent mix of fixed andfloating rate investments and borrowings.

(d) Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group is exposed to the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations because of its foreign currencydenominated operating revenues and expenses. The Group's largest exposures are from United StatesDollar, Euro, Great Britain Pound, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollar and Australian Dollar.

The Group seeks to reduce its foreign exchange exposure arising from transactions in various currenciesthrough a policy of matching, as far as possible, receipts and payments in each individual currency.Surpluses of convertible currencies are sold, either spot or forward, for Malaysian Ringgit and UnitedStates Dollar.

The Group's forward transactions in foreign currency are detailed in Note 25 (b).

(e) Liquidity Risk

The Group manages its liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient levels of cash or cash convertibleinvestments and available credit facilities to meet its working capital requirements.

Surplus funds are invested in high quality short term liquid instruments, usually bank deposits.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFinancial Instruments

215Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05(10601-W)

(f) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the potential loss from a transaction in the event of default by the counterparty during theterm of the transaction or on settlement of the transaction. Credit exposure is measured as the cost toreplace existing transactions should a counterparty default. The Group has credit risk associated withtravel agents, industry settlement organisations and credit provided to direct customers. The Groupminimises this credit risk through the application of stringent credit policies and accreditation of travelagents through industry programs.

Other than the amount due from related companies, the Group does not have any significant exposureto any individual customer or counterparty nor does it have any major concentration of credit riskrelated to any financial instruments.

(g) Market Price Risk

As at 31 March 2005, the Group owned quoted investments amounting to RM1,377,000 (2004 :RM1,409,000), and the estimated market value of these quoted investments was RM30,946,000 (2004 :RM26,402,000).

The market risk associated with quoted investments is the potential loss resulting from a decrease inmarket prices.
