Borneo Aqua was listed on the MESDAQ Market of Bursa MalaysiaSecurities Berhad on 5 September 2005. Borneo Aqua has 3 wholly-owned subsidiaries, namely Plentiful Harvest Sdn Bhd(“Plentiful”), Marine Terrace Sdn Bhd (“Marine”) and Salient Horizon Sdn Bhd (“Salient”)

Plentiful was established with the focus on marine fish breeding, hatchery and rearing to support the local marine aquacultureindustry to reduce dependence on foreign imported fish fry and fish. Marine is principally involved in the rearing of marinefish whilst Salient owns a live fish carrier for the transport of the Group’s live adult fish to its customers in Hong Kong,Southern China and other parts of Asia Pacific, if required.

While other aquaculture companies deal only with certain aspects of aquaculture processes, Borneo Aqua Group is anintegrated aquaculture Group which involves in the entire process of sustainable aquaculture i.e. broodstock management,research and development (“R&D”), breeding, hatching, rearing, productions of live feed, marketing, transportation of livefishes and provision of training and consultancy services related to the industry.

The Group’s integrated approach in producing high value marine fishes with the application of biotechnology has led it tocommit to a comprehensive R&D programme and to employ skilled professionals to carry out its objectives. The Group’sunmatched investments in this area had made it well placed to lead the industry in Malaysia and to play a vital role in theaquaculture industry of the Asia Pacific region in the near future. The Group’s R&D team currently comprises expertise fromJapan, South Korea and Malaysia.

With the dedication of its experienced management together with the comprehensive R&D programme, the Group is veryconfident that it will be able to contribute positively to the country’s aquaculture industry and to enable it to join the fewelite countries as a forefront of marine fish breeding in the Asia Pacific region, in particular for Grouper species, in line withthe Government’s inspiration of self sustainability in this sector. In addition, a successful aquaculture industry will contributeto Malaysian economic growth by creating employment and reducing import of marine fish fry and fish. Currently, most of the

marine fish fry, in particular the Grouper species, for rearing purposes in Malaysia are mainly imported fromTaiwan and Indonesia.

To-date, the Group had succeeded in producing numerous high value species such as Coral TroutGrouper, Marble Grouper, Humpback Grouper, Coral Rockcod, Barred-Cheek Coral Trout, Tomato

Rockcod Grouper, Camouflage Grouper, Giant Grouper and Malabar Red Snapper forcommercial purpose. The Group is currently focusing its R&D activities in the breeding ofother high value marine fish, amongst others, Humphead Maori Wrasse, Speckle YellowGrouper, Speckle Blue Grouper and Speckle White Grouper.

Most of the Borneo Aqua Group’s income is tax-exempted as its main subsidiaries, namelyPlentiful and Marine have been granted tax incentive under Section 127 of the Income

Tax Act, 1967 whereby the two companies are exempted from tax on statutory income fromfish breeding, fish fry hatchery and fish rearing activities for a period of 10 years

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

I am pleased to report that for the financial year ended 31 March 2007(“FYE 2007”), the Group recorded higher revenue of RM9.06 million ascompared to the revenue of RM6.41 million for the financial year ended31 March 2006 (“FYE 2006”). The increase in revenue of 41.34% wasmainly due to the improving results of the Group’s hatchery operations.For the said improvement, credit must be given to the Group’s dedicatedmanagement, and R&D team in perfecting the technique and formulaeused in the hatchery operations.

In the FYE 2007, the Group has successfully relocated and expanded itsrearing operations to Silam, Lahad Datu bringing the total rearingcapacity to approximately 1.0 million tails of fishes. The conduciveenvironment and water condition at the Group’s rearing sites at Silam,Lahad Datu is very suitable for fish rearing. In addition, the Group hadalso acquired a live fish carrier during the year and the Group is now in aposition to control its fish distribution process and gain direct access tothe Hong Kong and China market. As such, the Group has now attainedfull integration of its operations right from hatchery to productdistribution.

For the FYE 2007, the Group recorded a PBT and PAT of RM3.098 millionand RM2.762 million respectively. The PBT for the FYE 2007 increasedmarginally by 8.85% to RM3.098 million from PBT of RM2.846 million(excluding the one-off item amounting to RM2.226 million, representingthe recognition of negative goodwill on consolidation which arose fromthe acquisition of subsidiary companies (“One-Off Item”)) for the FYE2006 while the PAT for the FYE 2007 slightly decreased by 0.72% toRM2.762 million from RM2.782 million (excluding the One-Off Item) forthe FYE 2006. The increase in PBT is mainly due to the higher revenue asmentioned above.

Annual Report 2007

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (CONT’D)

CURRENT CAPACITY AND EXPANSION PLANS

The Group currently has about 2,300 broodstock of variousspecies and is progressively increasing the number andspecies of broodstock as the Group always believes thatability to produce fish fry is the key to a successfulaquaculture company. As mentioned earlier, the results fromthe Group’s hatchery operations has improved significantlyin the last quarter of this financial year and hence, thenumber of fish fry to be produced is expected to increasesignificantly in FY 2008. In view of the expected increase,the Group plans to build additional sea cages over the next12 months to increase its rearing capacity to 2.0 milliontails of fishes from existing 1.5 million tails of fishes.

The Group will also increase the capacity of its NurseryCentre in FY 2008 to enable the Group to handleapproximately 2.0 million fish fry at any point in time from1.0 million fish fry at present.

GENERAL OUTLOOK AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

The importance of aquaculture grows each year because ofincreased demand for seafood, overall population growthand diminishing natural seafood supplies. Today, more than1 billion people worldwide rely on fish as a source of animalprotein. Studies carried out by United Nation’s Food andAgriculture Organisation on the sustainable contribution offisheries to food security in the Asia Pacific region indicatedthat, by the year 2010, substantially more fish would berequired to sustain the demand from the expandingpopulation.

The fisheries sector is an important economic sector to thegrowing population in Malaysia as it continues to provide avital source of animal protein and promotes ruraldevelopment by providing employment. The consumption offish in Malaysia is expected to increase by 14 per cent by2010. To expedite marine finfish production and realise thetarget production, there is a need for a quantum leap to acultured system with higher production capacity.

Given the improving results of the Group’s hatchery andrearing operations, the Group expects both the fish fry

production rate and rearing capacity to continue to increaseover time. The Group would also continue to focus its effortsto enhance the operational efficiencies of its workprocesses, to expand its fish fry production and rearingcapacity, and to increase its products base. With the abovedevelopment and favourable demand, in particular fromHong Kong and China, the Board of Directors is optimisticof the Group’s prospects and expects the operating resultsfor the financial year ending 31 March 2008 and futurefinancial years to be significantly better.

DIVIDEND

In line with the dividend policy of the Company, I amdelighted to state that the Board of Directors has proposeda final tax-exempt dividend of 3.5% in respect of thefinancial year ended 31 March 2007, subject toshareholders’ approval at the forthcoming Annual GeneralMeeting. The amount of tax-exempt dividend declared asmentioned above represents approximately 38% of theGroup’s consolidated net profit of RM2.762 million, in linewith the Company’s dividend policy to declare and payannual dividends of at least 30% of the Group’s yearly netoperating profit.

A NOTE OF APPRECIATION

On behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunityto thank our staff and management for their continued hardwork, dedication and loyalty to the Group.

I would also like to thank our shareholders, our Sponsor, theGovernment of Sabah, Fisheries Department of Sabah andother relevant authorities, valuable customers and businesspartners for their unwavering support to the Group.

Introduction

The Board is committed to maintain a sound system of internal control of the Group and is pleased to provide the followingStatement of Internal Control, which outline the Group’s nature and scope of internal control during the year.

Board Responsibility

The Board is responsible for establishing an appropriate control environment and framework on risk management,organisational, financial and operational controls including reviewing its adequacy and integrity.

The Board recognises the importance of sound internal controls and risk management as the platform for the practice of goodcorporate governance. Due to the inherent limitations in any system of internal controls, the system is designed to manage,rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives. Thus the framework is expected to provide reasonablebut not absolute assurance against material misstatements or losses.

Internal Control Framework

Presently the Group does not maintain an internal audit department. The Board believes that the same objective can beachieved as it has established an organization with clearly defined lines of accountability and delegated authorities and thecurrent control mechanisms are sufficient for the size of the group.

The Managing Director and senior management team monitor the day-to-day affairs of the Group by attending meetings bothat management and operational levels. These include technical and operations meetings and management review meetings forthe subsidiary companies.

The key elements of the Group’s internal control system are described below:

- A well defined organisational structure with clear lines of accountability that sets out the authority delegated to theBoard and management committees.

- There is a clearly defined delegation of responsibilities to the Audit Committee of the Board and the management of theholding company and operating units who ensure that appropriate control procedures are in place.

- Performance reports such as quarterly financial review and other corporate matters are regularly provided to the directorsand discussed at Board Meetings.

- Management meeting are regularly held to discuss and report on the operational performance, key information, legal andregulatory matters of each business unit.

- The Audit Committee is tasked by the Board with the duty of reviewing the effectiveness of the Group’s system of internalcontrols.

- The Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board, reviews and holds discussions with Management to deliberate on actionplans addressing the internal controls issues identified.

Presently the Group does not maintain an internal audit department as the Group has established an organization with clearlines of accountability and delegated authorities and the current control mechanisms are sufficient for the size of the Groupand it provides an adequate form of check and balance.

The Board is of the view that there were no significant breakdowns or weaknesses in the system of internal control of theGroup that may have a material impact the operations of the Group for the financial year ended 31 March 2007. However, theBoard remains committed towards maintaining a sound system of internal controls and therefore, on-going reviews will becarried out to measure the effectiveness of the internal control systems in order to establish shareholders’ confidence. Thisis to ensure that the Group’s system of internal controls is able to support the growth and dynamics of the Group in line withthe changes in the operating environment. The Board, intends to outsource the expertise of professional firm to ensure thatthe Company maintains a sound system of internal control to safeguard the shareholders’ investment and the Company’sassets.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

2.4 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Subsidiaries and Basis of Consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the ability to control the financial and operatingpolicies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rightsthat are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group has suchpower over another entity.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost lessimpairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds andtheir carrying amounts is included in income statement.

(ii) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and itssubsidiaries as at the balance sheet date. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared forthe same reporting date as the Company

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtainscontrol, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. In preparing theconsolidated financial statements, intragroup balances, transactions and unrealised gains or losses areeliminated in full. Uniform accounting policies are adopted in the consolidated financial statements forlike transactions and events in similar circumstances.

Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase method ofaccounting involves allocating the cost of the acquisition to the fair value of the assets acquired andliabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The cost of an acquisition ismeasured as the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of the assets given, liabilitiesincurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued, plus any costs directly attributable to theacquisition.

Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiableassets, liabilities and contingent liabilities represents goodwill. Any excess of the Group’s interest in thenet fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisitionis recognised immediately in income statement.

(b) Intangible Asset

Research and development costs

All research costs are recognised in the income statement as incurred.

Expenditure on development activities is also recognised as an expense in the period incurred except whenthe expenditure meet the following criteria where it will be capitalised as intangible assets:

- the product or process is clearly defined and costs are separately identified and measured reliably;- the technical feasibility of the product is demonstrated;- the product or process will be sold or used in-house;- the assets will generate future economic benefits; and - adequate technical, financial and other resources for completion of the project are available.

Development costs initially recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in subsequent periods.

Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.Amortisation is recognised as an expense in the income statement based on a straight-line basis over 5 years.The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 2.4(e).

2.4 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

(c) Property, Plant and Equipment, and Depreciation

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent costs are included in theasset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that futureeconomic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measuredreliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance arecharged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciationand any accumulated impairment losses.

Long leasehold land with an unexpired lease term of more than 50 years is not amortised. The Directors areof the opinion that the non-amortisation of the long leasehold land has no material effect on the financialstatements. The effect of the non-amortisation of the long leasehold land is disclosed in Note 13 to thefinancial statements.

Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment is provided for on a straight line basis to write off thecost of each asset to its residual value over the estimated useful lives as follows:

Buildings 10 - 15 yearsFloating plateform, net and cages 10 yearsHatchery ponds 10 yearsHeavy equipments 5 yearsMotor vehicles 5 yearsFish pond equipment, furniture, fittings and equipment 10 years

Capital construction-in-progress is not depreciated until it is completed and ready for use.

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end to ensure thatthe amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expectedpattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant andequipment.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefitsare expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any and the netcarrying amount is recognised in income statement.

(d) Biological Assets

Biological assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The policy for therecognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 2.4(e).

All costs incurred on immature broodstocks which are accumulated on a project basis, are capitalised untilsuch time when the broodstocks commence breeding. Costs incurred on immature broodstocks consist of theacquisition cost of the mother fish, cost of feeds and medication, direct labour cost and an appropriateproportion of farm operating overheads.

Maintenance costs of broodstocks after commencement of breeding are recognised in the income statement.

The costs of broodstocks are amortised over the economic egg production lives of the respective fish, whichvaries between 8 to 10 years depending on the species.

Upon the disposal of broodstocks, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the net carryingamount is recognised in the income statement.

2.4 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

(e) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

The carrying amounts of assets other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balancesheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, theasset’s recoverable amount is estimated to determine the amount of impairment loss.

For the purpose of impairment testing of these assets, recoverable amount is determined on an individual assetbasis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets.If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the assetbelongs to.

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value inuse. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using apre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specificto the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is consideredimpaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

An impairment loss is recognised in income statement in the period in which it arises.

An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used todetermine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amountof an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed thecarrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairmentloss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset is recognised inincome statement.

(f) Inventories

(i) Fishery Livestocks

Fishery livestocks are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a monthly weighted average basis) andnet realisable value. Cost of fishery livestocks and fish fry-in-progress include the cost of feeds andmedication, direct labour cost and an appropriate proportion of farm operating overheads accumulatedon a project basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs tobe incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

(ii) Consumable Stores

Consumable stores are stated at cost. Cost includes expenses incurred in bringing the items into storesand is computed using the weighted average method. Provision is made for all damaged, obsolete andslow-moving items.

(g) Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has become a party to thecontractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial instruments are classified as assets, liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of thecontractual arrangement. Interest, dividends and gains and losses relating to a financial instrument arereported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity arerecognised directly in equity. Financial assets and liabilities are offset against each other when the Group hasa legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset andsettle the liability simultaneously.

(i) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and atbank, deposit at call and short term highly liquid investments which have an insignificant risk of changesin value.

(ii) Receivables

Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identified. Anestimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts as at the balance sheetdate.

(iii) Payables

Sundry payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the futurefor goods and services received.

(iv) Equity Instruments

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in theperiod in which they are declared.

(h) Leases

A lease is recognised as a finance lease if it transfers substantially to the Group all the risks and rewardsincident to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

(i) Finance Leases

Assets acquired by way of hire purchase or finance leases are stated at an amount equal to the lower oftheir fair values and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases,less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The corresponding liability is included in thebalance sheet as borrowings. In calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments, thediscount factor used is the interest rate implicit in the lease, when it is practicable to determine;otherwise, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used.

Lease payments are apportioned between the finance costs and the reduction of the outstanding liability.Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total leasing commitments and the fair valueof the assets acquired, are recognised as an expense in the income statement over the term of therelevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of theobligations for each accounting period.

The depreciation policy for leased assets is consistent with that for depreciable property, plant andequipment as described in Note 2.4(c).

(ii) Operating Leases

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basisover the term of the relevant lease.

(i) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probablethat an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and areliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjustedto reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions arediscounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as financecost.

(j) Income Tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year/period comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is theexpected amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year/period and is measuredusing the tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is provided for using the liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet datebetween the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Inprinciple, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assetsare recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extentthat it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences,unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporarydifference arises from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability ina transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neitheraccounting profit nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realisedor the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balancesheet date. Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except when it arises from a transactionwhich is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, orwhen it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is includedin the resulting goodwill or negative goodwill.

(k) Employee Benefits

(i) Short Term Benefits

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year inwhich the associated services are rendered by employees. Short term accumulating compensatedabsences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increasetheir entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absencessuch as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.

(ii) Defined Contribution Plans

As required by law, employers in Malaysia make contributions to the Employees Provident Fund. Suchcontributions are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred.

(l) Foreign Currencies

(i) Functional and Presentation Currency

The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of theprimary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidatedfinancial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the Company’s functionalcurrency.

(ii) Foreign Currency Transactions

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than theentity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currencies using theexchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary itemsdenominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the ratesprevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured interms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetaryitems, are included in income statement for the period.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are includedin income statement for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetaryitems in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. Exchange differences arisingfrom such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in equity.

(m) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group andthe revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met beforerevenue is recognised:

(i) Sale of fish, fish fry and fish eggs

Revenue is recognised upon transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer. Revenueis not recognised to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of theconsideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods.

(ii) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

2.5 Changes in Estimates

The revised FRS 116: Property, Plant and Equipment requires the review of the residual value and remaining usefullife of an item of property, plant and equipment at least at each financial year end. The Group reviewed the residualvalues and the estimated useful lives of all property, plant and equipment. The effects of the revisions areimmaterial and no adjustment is made. The effects on future periods are dependent on the review of the residualvalue and remaining useful life of an item of property, plant and equipment in future periods.

2.6 Significant Accounting Estimates

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheetdate, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilitieswithin the next financial year are discussed below.

(i) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

The cost of plant and machinery is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ useful lives.Management estimates the useful lives of these plant and machinery to be between 5 to 15 years. These arecommon life expectancies applied in the aquaculture industry. Changes in the expected level of usage andtechnological developments could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets,therefore future depreciation charges could be revised.

(ii) Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances to the extentthat it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses and capital allowances can beutilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets thatcan be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future taxplanning strategies. The total carrying value of recognised tax losses and capital allowances of the Group wasRM1,863,928 (2005: RM766,961) and the unrecognised unabsorbed capital allowances of the Group wasRM764,816 (2005: RM752,000).

(iii) Amortisation of Broodstocks

The cost of broodstocks is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected economic egg productionlives of the respective species of fish. Management estimates the expected economic egg production lives tobe within 8 to 10 years. Changes to these estimated economic egg production lives could impact the futureamortisation charges.

The subsidiary companies have been granted tax incentive under Section 127 of the Income Tax Act, 1967 whereby theyare exempted from tax on statutory income from fish breeding, fish fry hatchery and fish rearing activities for a periodof 10 years commencing 1 April 2004.

Current income tax is calculated at the statutory tax rate of 27% (2006: 28%) on the estimated assessable profit for theyear. The statutory tax rate will be reduced from the current year’s rate of 27% to 26%, effective year of assessment2008. The computation of deferred tax as at 31 March 2007 has reflected these changes.

A reconciliation of income tax expense applicable to profit before tax at the statutory income tax rate to income taxexpense at the effective income tax rate of the Group and of the Company is as follows:
