(a) FRS 3 - Business Combinations
 
Under FRS 3, any excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value of an acquirees’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over its cost of acquisitions (previously referred to as “reserve on consolidation”) is now recognised immediately in the consolidated income statements. Prior to 1 July 2006, it was capitalised as Reserve on Consolidation.
 
In accordance with the transitional provisions of FRS 3, the remaining balance of reserve on consolidation brought forward of RM156.05 million was derecognised with a corresponding increase in the opening unappropriated profit.
 
(b) FRS 116 - Property, Plant and Equipment
 
In accordance with FRS 116, the underlying building of a hotel property is now stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The underlying freehold land on which hotel property is situated is stated at cost. Hotel property is now classified as property, plant and equipment. In addition, the Group’s freehold plantation land is also classified as property, plant and equipment and stated at cost.
 
Prior to 1 July 2006, the underlying building of hotel property was stated at cost and no depreciation is provided. The underlying freehold land of hotel property was stated at cost. The adoption of FRS 116 resulted in a decrease in the Group’s unappropriated profit as at 30 June 2006 by RM0.67 million and the comparatives amounts have been restated as shown in Note 2.1 below.
 
(c) FRS 140 - Investment Property
