(a) Purpose & Rationale of the Valuation

In the previous financial year (2023), the Group changed its accounting policy for the valuation of its Land and Buildings from historical cost method to the fair value model. The Board was of the view that the historical cost method no longer provided a meaningful representation of the true value of these assets, as market conditions had changed significantly since their acquisition.

The adoption of the fair value model ensures that the Group’s financial statements reflect current market conditions and the actual worth of its assets. This approach provides a more accurate, reliable, and relevant assessment of the Group’s net worth and financial position. The Board believes that this change will enhance the relevance of Metrod Group’s financial reporting while also strengthening investor and lender confidence. By improving transparency and aligning asset values with market realities, the fair value model is expected to enhance shareholder value and facilitate better access to capital markets and funding at competitive interest rates.

Accordingly, an announcement pertaining to the valuation was made to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad on 28 February 2024, in compliance with disclosure requirements. In line with this policy, an independent valuation was conducted for the financial year ended 31 December 2024, and the required particulars are disclosed in the subsequent paragraphs.
