During the financial year ended 31st March 2009, the Group and the Company have incurred net loss of RM133,509,000 and RM134,588,000 respectively, and have a net current liabilities of RM316,786,000 and RM281,807,000 respectively as of that date. These conditions cast doubt about the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern. The directors however are of the opinion that the Group and the Company would be able to generate cash flows necessary for the Group and the Company to operate profitably in the future upon the finalisation of the negotiations for variations of the terms of the Redeemable Convertible Secured Notes 2003/2008 as mentioned in Note 27 to the Financial Statements and consequently, the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities will occur in the ordinary course of business. Other than as stated above, at the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances: (a) which would render the amount written off for bad receivables or the amount of allowance for doubtful receivables in the financial statements of the Group and the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or (b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and the Company misleading; or (c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and the Company misleading or inappropriate; or (d) not otherwise dealt with in this report or financial statements which would render any amount stated in the financial statements of the Group and the Company misleading. At the date of this report, there does not exist: (a) any charge on the assets of the Group and the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year which secures the liability of any other person; or (b) any contingent liability of the Group and the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year. No contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and the Company to meet their obligations as and when they fall due. In the opinion of the directors, no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report which is likely to affect substantially the results of operations of the Group and the Company for the succeeding financial year.
