INCH KENNETH KAJANG RUBBER PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY (990261 M)

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FOR THE PERIODED 31 MARCH 2016

   1.             Basis of preparation and accounting policies 
   1.1           Reporting entity 

Inch Kenneth Kajang Rubber Public Limited Company ("the Company") is a company incorporated in Scotland with its registered office at 7 Castle Street, Edinburgh EH2 3AP, Scotland. The principal operating office is at 22(nd) Floor Menara Promet (KH), Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. All of the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are located in Malaysia and Thailand.

The consolidated unaudited financial information of the Company as at 31 March 2016 includes the Company, its subsidiaries and its interest in an associated undertaking (together referred to as the "Group").

   1.2           Basis of preparation 

The unaudited financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with IAS34 Interim Financial Reporting. The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the fair value measurement of available-for-sale investments and freehold estate lands. The financial information is also presented to comply in all material respects of the requirement of the Malaysian FRS 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Chapter 9 of the Bursa Malaysia Listing Requirements.

The unaudited quarterly consolidated financial information to 31 March 2016 included in this Announcement has been prepared by applying accounting policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the most recent audited financial statements of the Group, being for the year ended 31 December 2015. The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015 are available at Company website, Bursa Malaysia website, the Company's registered office in Scotland and its operating office in Malaysia.

   1.3          Changes in accounting policies 

On 19 November 2011, the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board ("MASB") issued a new MASB approved accounting framework, the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards ("MFRS Framework"). The MFRS Framework is to be applied by all Entities Other Than Private Entities for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012, with the exception of entities that are within the scope of MFRS 141 "Agriculture" and/or IC Interpretation 15 "Agreements for Construction of Real Estate", including their parent, significant investor and venturer (herein called "Transitioning Entities").

Based on the MASB announcement on 2 September 2014, adoption of the MFRS Framework by Transitioning Entities will only be mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017.

The subsidiaries within the Group fall within the scope definition of Transitioning Entities and have opted to defer adoption of the new MFRS Framework. However the Group financial statements will continue to be prepared using the IFRS Framework for the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2017. The subsidiaries expect to be in a position to fully comply with these requirements for the financial year ending 31 December 2017.

The Group foresees that there will be no material impact on the financial statements as the real estate business would only be operational after 2016 and the current oil palm plantation has already exceeded its normal economic lifespan.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FOR THE PERIODED 31 MARCH 2016

   1.             Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued) 
   1.4          Non-statutory accounts 

The financial information contained in this report does not constitute full statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the United Kingdom's Companies Act 2006.

   1.5          Independent auditors' report of preceding financial year ended 31 December 2015 

There was no qualification made on the preceding audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, further it did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006 and did not include reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis.

   1.6          Approval by Board of Directors 

This consolidated interim financial information was approved by the Board of Directors on 24 May 2016.

   2.             Review of performance 

The Group's turnover was RM1.815 million for the first quarter ended 31 March 2016 as compared to RM1.862 million for the corresponding first quarter in the preceding year. The slight decrease in Group's turnover by RM0.05 million is mainly due to the lower market price of CV (constant viscosity) rubber blocks produced by the subsidiary in Thailand. The tourism division however improved their revenue by RM0.2 million during this financial period under review.

The revenue of the associate company, Concrete Engineering Products Berhad ("CEPCO") for the 3 months ended 31 March 2016 reduced to RM31.89 million (IKKR's share: RM7.14 million) compared to RM47.62 million (IKKR's share: RM10.67 million) in the preceding year, a decrease of RM3.53 million in respect of IKKR's share. The decreased sales volume is mainly due to lower actual deliveries arising from the festivities and holidays during this quarter.

The Group's loss before tax for the first quarter ended 31 March 2016 was RM3.755 million as compared to a loss of RM2.699 million for the corresponding first quarter ended 31 March 2015. The loss incurred was partly due to the reduction in revenue derived from the manufacturing division and the share of loss from Cepco.

   3.             Comparison with preceding quarter 

The Group recorded a pre-tax loss of RM3.755 million for the current quarter under review compared to a pre-tax loss of RM0.305 million in the 4th quarter ended 31 December 2015. The loss incurred in the last 4th quarter ended 31 December 2015 was mainly due to the loss incurred at the tourism division as the resort was not in full operations at that time.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FOR THE PERIODED 31 MARCH 2016

   4.             Commentary on prospects 

Effort to develop our land bank in Kajang is aggressively being pursued as this will be the main income driver for the Group. We have undertaken a very thorough planning process as we have to ensure that the development project will be a success, not only for the Company but also for the town of Kajang. We however do not expect to see the returns during the current financial year.

After the refurbishment at our resort, we are now looking forward for higher revenue to be generated from our tourism sector, and we expect that our manufacturing sector will at least be at a breakeven level as rubber prices have not been fluctuating aggressively as before. Our associate company, CEPCO, is also expected to do better this year with their new projects coming in. With that scenario in place, the Board therefore anticipates a better performance by the Group for this financial year.

   5.             Comparison with profit forecasts 

As the Group does not issue profit forecasts, no comparison can be made.

   6.             Changes in composition of the Group 

There were no changes in the composition of the Group during the financial period under review.

   7.             Status of corporate proposals 

There are no corporate proposals that have been announced but not completed as at the date of this announcement.

   8.             Realised and Unrealised Profits 

The breakdown of retained profits of the Group as at 31 March 2016, pursuant to the format prescribed by Bursa, is as follows:

Other than the subsidiary in Thailand which is a tax resident there, the Company and the Group are tax resident in Malaysia. The Group is liable to corporation tax in Malaysia and Thailand but is not subject to United Kingdom corporation tax.

The effective tax rate on the Group's loss is higher than the statutory tax rate substantially due to the non-taxability of losses due to impairment in investments and stocks.

   14.           Loss per share 

The basic and diluted loss per share for the current quarter and cumulative year to-date have been computed based on Group's loss for the financial current quarter/cumulative year to-date divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of GBP0.10 each in issue after adjusting for movements in treasury shares during the financial current quarter/cumulative year to-date. The Company does not have any outstanding share options or other potentially dilutive financial instruments currently in issue.
