Executive Chairmans Statement Rising to the challenge of a New Era


SMB Recognition Award Pantech Steel Industries Sdn Bhd Winner of Export Excellence Award 2006

Dear shareholders,
It is with great pleasure that the Board of Directors and I present this inaugural Annual Report and the audited nancial statements for the Financial Year ended 28 February 2007. The New Era dawned when Pantech Group was admitted to the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad on 15 February 2007. As a public listed company, we have strengthened our resolve and commitment to increasing revenue and expanding market share, which are crucial to improving shareholder value. We certainly view our role as a public listed company very seriously and we intend to secure a loyal, long-term shareholder base to grow with us to greater heights. As the Executive Chairman of the Board, I am excited to share with you the progress and achievements Pantech Group has made over the years. Having been in business since 1987, Pantech Groups strength lies in the fact that we offer more than 20,000 product items based on various sizes, grades, types, category and brand names for various pipes, ttings, ow controls (PFF) solutions in our stable. Our income is derived from two main sources namely from our manufacturing and trading operations. In reviewing the past nancial year, it is clear that we have made very good progress in our manufacturing sector; and our order book is strong. We have added new countries to our export base, namely Mexico, India and Indonesia. Needless to say, these countries offer tremendous market potential for our range of PFF. Over 50% of the Groups sales currently come from oil & gasrelated customers. As more exploration and production works in the oil & gas sector are carried out, Pantech Group stands to benet from rising demand for PFF solutions. In anticipation of the increased demand for our PFF products, Pantech Group has earmarked approximately RM21 million over the next two years to increase our storage facilities and manufacturing production area, and to buy machinery and other equipment. This amount comprises RM12 million obtained from the IPO proceeds and RM9 million from internal funds. In line with this, I am excited to share that the construction has begun on a new factory in Klang and work is expected

to be completed by second half year of 2007. This new plant will give us additional manufacturing capacity and support our objective of increased production and wider market penetration. We have also leased seven acres of land in Port Klang Free Zone to provide additional storage space.

Group Results

When we launched our IPO prospectus on 29 January 2007, we estimated the Groups proforma revenue for the Financial Year ending 28 February 2007 at RM216 million. I am pleased to inform shareholders that due to burgeoning oil and gas activities, our proforma group revenue this nancial year in review stood at RM243 million, exceeding our estimate by 12.5%. This increase is attributed mainly to new projects secured during the previous and current nancial years. In terms of product breakdown, our biggest contributor is pipes, making up approximately 58% of overall sales last nancial year. We were able to translate this higher revenue to a prot after tax of RM26.76 million, which exceeded our estimate by approximately 9.15%.

Business Outlook and Strategies

With high oil prices and as more exploration and production works in the oil & gas sector are carried out globally, Malaysia is expected to follow suit with both onshore and offshore developments progressing at a strong pace. According to a local research house, about RM16 billion was poured into exploration and production activities carried out, off Malaysian waters in 2006. According to the same report, as many as 65 to 70 platforms will be required in Malaysian waters over the next 5 years as development moves further offshore and towards deepwater. Pantech Group is well poised to take advantage of the opportunities offered via this continuing and growing demand for efcient means to transport the oil & gas. Our strength lies in our ability to supply PFF to our customers specications, while maintaining strict quality compliance with the specications of the international quality standards for oil and gas industries. We also use High Frequency Induction (HFI) technology in the manufacturing of some of our products, which makes us a market leader in Malaysia in these items. Ageing oil & gas platforms globally are also expected to create replacement demand for our products. The bio-diesel industry in Malaysia is another potential growth area for us; the number of bio-diesel licences approved has been increasing and more plants are expected to come on stream soon. Bearing in mind that pipes, ttings and ow control solutions and products will be utilized to set-up these bio-diesel plants, Pantech Group aims to tap this market as well. An additional growth driver is our business plan to widen the Groups product range. These new products, which include niche items that offer higher prot margins, will cater to the

changing needs of our growing customer base, to maintain our status as a one-stop solutions centre. To this end, we have already started manufacturing concentric reducers (from 8 to 12), and we plan to manufacture long bends, elbows, caps, tees and reducers in sizes that are very customer-centric. We do not plan to sit on our laurels. Pantech Group has a large, diversied and established clientele base of more than 500 recurring customers with major customers like Kencana, KNM, Ramunia, Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering, Sime Engineering and Malaysian International Trading Corporation (Japan) . We are also supplying to fabrication giants like Keppel and SembCorp Marine of Singapore. I am pleased to inform shareholders that we have secured more deals with Keppel FELS Group to supply our ttings and Hot Induction Long Bend.

Dividends

The Board has declared an annual dividend of 3 sen per share less 27% tax, subject to the approval of shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the company. The net dividend distributable for the nancial year ended 28 February 2007 will be RM3.285 million.

Corporate Governance

To ensure transparency, accountability and protection of shareholders interests, the Board places great importance in ensuring that the highest standard of corporate governance is practiced throughout the Group. Our statement on corporate governance and related reports are on pages 16 to 23.

Related Party Transactions

Signicant related party transactions of the Group for the year under review are disclosed in Note 28 to the nancial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 FEBRUARY 2007


1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The nancial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable MASB Approved Accounting Standards in Malaysia for Entities Other Than Private Entities.

2.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES The Groups nancial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate nancial resources are available for the development of the Groups businesses whilst managing its risks. The Group operates within policies that are approved by the Board and the Groups policy is not to engage in speculative transactions. The main areas of nancial risks faced by the Group and the policy in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are set out as follows:(a) Foreign currency risk The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of its normal operating activities, both external and intra-Group, where the currency denomination differs from the local currency, Ringgit Malaysia (RM). The Groups policy is to minimise the exposure of overseas operating activities to transaction risk by matching local currency income against local currency costs. (b) Interest rate risk The Groups exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Groups short term deposits with licensed nancial institution and nancing through bank borrowings. The Group ensures that it obtains borrowings at competitive interest rates under the most favourable terms and conditions. The Group does not use derivate nancial instruments to hedge its risks. (c) Credit risk The Group is exposed to credit risk mainly from trade and other receivables. The risk is managed through the application of credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. Credit is extended to the customers based upon careful evaluation of the customers nancial condition and credit history. Surplus funds are placed with licensed nancial institutions to minimise the risk that the counterparties will fail in performing their obligation. The maximum credit risk exposure of the Group, without taking into account the fair value of collaterals, is represented by the carrying amount of the trade and other receivables as shown in the balance sheet. The Group is not exposed to signicant concentration of credit risk. (d) Market risk The Groups principal exposures to market risk arises mainly from the changes in equity prices. Equity interests classied as current assets are available for sale and the Group manages disposal of its interests to optimise returns on realisation. (e) Liquidity and cash ow risks The Group maintains a prudent liquidity risk management policy by maintaining adequate cash. The Group also periodically evaluates its cash ow requirements and where deemed necessary, based on estimates of future needs, establishes credit lines with licensed nancial institutions in Malaysia.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Accounting convention The nancial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise indicated in the other signicant accounting policies. The functional currency of the Company is Ringgit Malaysia (RM). (b) Adoption of Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) The following applicable FRSs have been adopted by the Group and the Company effective for nancial period beginning on or after 15 May 2006:FRS 3 FRS 101 FRS 102 FRS 1072004 FRS 108 FRS 110 FRS 1122004 FRS 1142004 FRS 116 FRS 1182004 FRS 1192004 FRS 121 FRS 1232004 FRS 127 FRS 128 FRS 131 FRS 132 FRS 133 FRS 1342004 FRS 136 FRS 1372004 FRS 138 FRS 140 Business Combinations Presentation of Financial Statements Inventories Cash Flow Statements Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors Events After the Balance Sheet Date Income Taxes Segment reporting Property, Plant and Equipment Revenue Employee Benets The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates Borrowing Costs Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements Investment in Associates Interests in Joint Ventures Financial Instruments : Disclosure and Presentation Earning Per Share Interim Financial Reporting Impairment of Assets Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Intangible Assets Investment Property

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) (b) Adoption of Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) (Contd) FRS 101: Presentation of Financial Statements The adoption of the revised FRS 101 has affected the presentation of minority interest, share of net after-tax results of associates and other disclosures. In the consolidated balance sheet, minority interests are now presented within total equity. In the consolidated income statement, minority interests are presented as an allocation of the total prot or loss for the period. A similar requirement is also applicable to the statement of changes in equity. FRS 101 also requires disclosure, on the face of the statement of changes in equity, total recognised income and expenses for the period, showing separately the amounts attributable to equity holders of the parent and to minority interest. The current periods presentation of the Groups nancial statements is based on the revised requirements of FRS 101. FRS 121: The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates Items included in the nancial statements of each of the Groups entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated nancial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the Companys functional and presentation currency. Under the revised FRS 121, exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of a reporting entitys net investment in a foreign operation, where that monetary item is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of either the reporting entity or the foreign operation, are to be recognised in prot or loss in the consolidated nancial statements. Previously, such exchange differences were taken to equity. This change in accounting policy has been accounted for retrospectively. In addition, as of 1 January 2006, any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are now treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. In accordance with the transitional provisions of FRS 121, this change is applied prospectively. Goodwill acquired in business combinations prior to 1 January 2006 and fair value adjustments arising on those acquisitions are deemed to be assets and liabilities of the parent company and were translated using the exchange rate at the dates of acquisitions. FRS 140: Investment Property The adoption of this new FRS has resulted in a change in accounting policy for investment properties. Investment properties are now stated at fair value, representing open-market value determined by external valuers. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are recognised in prot or loss in the period in which they arise. Prior to 1 January 2006, investment properties were stated at valuation. Revaluations were carried out at least once every ve years and any revaluation increase is taken to equity as a revaluation surplus. The investment properties were last revalued in February 2006. In accordance with the transitional provisions of FRS 140, this change in accounting policy is applied prospectively.

(iii)

Deferred FRS 139 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement The Malaysian Accounting Standards Board has yet to announce the effective date of this standard.

(c)

Signicant Accounting Estimates and Judgements Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the nancial statements. They affect the application of the Groups accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. (i) Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have signicant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next nancial year are discussed below:Income taxes The Group is exposed to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Signicant judgement is involved in determining the Group-wide provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognised tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the nal tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) (c) Signicant Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Contd) (i) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Contd) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful life. Management estimated the useful life of these assets to be within 4 to 40 years except for the freehold land which is not depreciated. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful life and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances to the extent that it is probable that taxable prot will be available against which the losses and capital allowances can be utilised. Signicant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable prots together with future tax planning strategies. (ii) Critical judgement made in applying accounting policies The following is the judgement made by management in the process of applying the Groups accounting policies that have the most signicant effect on the amounts recognised in the nancial statements. Classication between investment properties and owner-occupied properties The Group determines whether a property qualies as an investment property, and has developed criteria in making that judgement. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Therefore, the Group considers whether a property generates cash ows largely independently of the other assets held by the Group. Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. If these portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a nance lease), the Group accounts for the portions separately. If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is an investment property only if an insignicant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Judgement is made on an individual property basis to determine whether ancillary services are so signicant that a property does not qualify as an investment property. (d) Basis of consolidation The Group nancial statements consolidate the audited nancial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiary companies, which have been prepared in accordance with the Groups accounting policies. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated; unrealised losses are also eliminated on consolidation unless cost cannot be recovered.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) (d) Basis of consolidation (Contd) The nancial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies are all drawn up to the same reporting date. Acquisition of subsidiary companies is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. Any excess of the Groups interest in the net fair value of the identiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of business combination is recognised as income on the date of acquisition. Subsidiary companies are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases. The gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary company is the difference between net disposal proceeds and the Groups share of its net assets together with any unamortised or unimpaired balance of goodwill on acquisition and exchange differences. (e) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are initially stated at cost. Land and buildings are subsequently shown at market value, based on valuations by external valuers, less subsequent depreciation and any impairment losses. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Revaluation is made at least once in every ve years based on valuation by an independent valuer on an open market value basis. Any revaluation increase is credited to equity as a revaluation surplus, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised as an expense, in which case, the increase is recognised in the income statement to the extent of the decrease previously recognised. A revaluation decrease is rst offset against an increase on unutilised valuation surplus in respect of the same asset and is thereafter recognised as an expense. Upon the disposal of revalued assets, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in the revaluation reserve is transferred to unappropriated prots. Depreciation is provided on the straight line method in order to write off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life. No depreciation is provided on freehold land.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) (e) Property, plant and equipment (Contd) The principal annual depreciation rates used are as follows:Leasehold land Factory buildings Renovation, warehouse extension and electrical installation Computers and software Plant and machinery Factory equipment Ofce equipments, furniture and ttings Telecommunication system, forklift and motor vehicles Over the leasehold period of 40 years 4% - 5.5% 10% - 20% 20% 7% - 10% 10% - 25% 10% - 20% 20%

Restoration cost relating to an item of property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if such expenditure is expected to increase the future benets from the existing property, plant and equipment beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. Property, plant and equipment are written down to recoverable amount if, in the opinion of the Directors, it is less than their carrying value. Recoverable amount is the net selling price of the property, plant and equipment i.e. the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arms length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal. The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each nancial year end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benets embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benets are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in the income statement in the nancial year in which the asset is derecognised. (f) Subsidiary companies A subsidiary company is a company in which the Company or the Group either directly or indirectly owns a power to govern its nancial and operating policies so as to obtain benets from its activities. Investment in subsidiary companies is stated at cost. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the subsidiary companies is assessed and written down immediately to their recoverable amount.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) (g) Associate company An associate company is a company in which the Company or the Group is in the position to exercise signicant inuence over its nancial and operating policies through management participation but not to exert control over those policies. Investment in an associate company is accounted for in the consolidated nancial statements using equity accounting which involves recognising in the income statement the Groups share of the results of associate company based on audited nancial statements of the associate company. The Groups investment in an associate company is carried in the balance sheet at an amount that reects its share of the net assets of the associate company. Equity accounting is discontinued when the carrying amount of the investment in an associate company reaches zero, unless the Group has incurred obligations or guaranteed obligations in respect of the associate company. Investment in an associate company is stated at cost. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the associate company is assessed and written down immediately to their recoverable amount. (h) Joint venture The Groups joint venture is an entity over which the Group has contractual arrangements to jointly share the control over the economic activity of the entity with one or more parties. Investment in joint venture is stated at cost. Interest in joint venture is accounted for using the equity method in the balance sheet of the Group. Allowance is made for any impairment losses on an individual joint venture basis. (i) Other investments Non-current investments other than investment in subsidiary companies, associate company and joint venture are shown at cost and allowance is only made where, in the opinion of the Directors, there is an impairment in value. Impairment in the value of an investment is recognised as an expense in the period in which the impairment is identied. On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is charged or credited to the income statement. (j) Investment properties Investment properties consist of land and buildings held for capital appreciation or rental purpose and not occupied or only an insignicant portion is occupied for use or in the operations of the Group. Investment properties are treated as long-term investments and are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reects market conditions at the balance sheet date. Gain or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the income statement in the nancial year in which they arise.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) (j) Investment properties (Contd) Investment properties are derecognised when either they are disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benet is expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss on the retirement or disposal of an investment property is recognised in the income statement in the nancial year of retirement or disposal. (k) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value after adequate allowance has been made for deteriorated, obsolete and slow moving inventories. Inventories are determined on a rst-in-rst-out basis. Cost of trading goods is determined on weighted average method. Cost of raw material refers to invoiced cost of goods purchased plus incidental handling and freight charges. Cost of work-in-progress and nished goods include raw materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of manufacturing overheads. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less selling and distribution costs and all other estimated costs to completion. (l) Receivables Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. Bad debts are written off in the period in which they are identied. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the nancial year end. (m) Payables Payables are stated at cost which is fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received. (n) Assets acquired under hire purchase and nance lease arrangements The cost of property, plant and equipment acquired under hire purchase and nance lease arrangements which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Group are capitalised. The depreciation policy on these assets is similar to that of the Groups property, plant and equipment depreciation policy. Outstanding obligation due under hire purchase and nance lease arrangements after deducting nance expenses are included as liabilities in the nancial statements. Finance charges on hire purchase and nance lease arrangements are allocated to income statement over the period of the respective agreements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) (o) Foreign currency transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Ringgit Malaysia at rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates ruling at balance sheet date. The assets and liabilities of the foreign entities, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisitions, are translated to Ringgit Malaysia at the closing rates. The operating results are translated to Ringgit Malaysia at the average exchange rates during the nancial period. Gains and losses from conversion of short term assets and liabilities, whether realised or unrealised, are included in the income statement as they arise. Financial statements of foreign consolidated subsidiary companies are translated at period-end exchange rates with respect to the assets and liabilities. All resulting translation differences are included in the foreign exchange reserve in shareholders equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the cumulative amount of exchange differences deferred in equity relating to that foreign entity is recognised in the income statement as a component of the gain or loss on disposal. All other foreign exchange differences are taken to the income statement in the nancial period in which they arise. (p) Deferred tax liabilities and assets Deferred tax liabilities and assets are provided for under the liability method at the current tax rate in respect of all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base including unused tax losses and capital allowances. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable prot will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date. If it is no longer probable that sufcient taxable prot will be available to allow the benet of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilised, the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset will be reduced accordingly. When it becomes probable that sufcient taxable prot will be available, such reductions will be reversed to the extent of the taxable prot. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged or credited directly in equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case, the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) (q) Financial instruments Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include cash and bank balances, investments, receivables, payables and borrowings. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual accounting policy statements associated with each item. Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. (r) Impairment of assets At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised whenever the recoverable amount of the asset or a cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount. Recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash ows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specic to the asset. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the income statement in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement immediately, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of any unutilised previously recognised revaluation surplus for the same asset. An assessment is made at each balance sheet date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. All reversals of impairment losses are recognised as income immediately in the income statement unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, the reversal in excess of impairment loss previously recognised through the income statement is treated as revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill shall not be reversed in the subsequent period.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) (s) Revenue recognition Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered, net of discount and return. Rental income is recognised when the rent is due. Interest income is accounted for on accrual basis. Sales and inter-company transactions between companies of the Group are excluded from revenue of the Group. (t) Employee benets (i) Short term benets Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the nancial year, in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences, and short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur. (ii) Dened contribution plan Dened contribution plans are post-employment benet plans under which the Group pays xed contributions into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contribution if any of the funds do not hold sufcient assets to pay all employee benets relating to employee services in the current and preceding nancial years. Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. As required by law, companies in Malaysia make such contributions to the Employee Provident Fund (EPF). Some of the Groups foreign subsidiaries also make contributions to their respective countries statutory pension schemes. (u) Interest-bearing borrowings Interest-bearing borrowings are recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of transaction costs. All borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. (v) Dividends Dividends on ordinary shares are accounted for in shareholders equity as an appropriation of unappropriated prots in the period in which they are declared.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTD) (w) Provisions Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event, when it is probable that an outow of resources embodying economic benets will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation. (x) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, short term demand deposits and highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignicant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the balance sheet, cash and cash equivalents are restricted to be used to settle a liability of 12 months or more after the balance sheet date is classied as non-current asset. (y) Segmental results Segment revenues and expenses are those directly attributable to the segments and include any joint revenue and expenses where a reasonable basis of allocation exists. Segment assets include all assets used by a segment and consist principally of cash, receivables, inventories, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, net of allowances and accumulated depreciation and amortisation. The majority of the segment assets can be directly attributed to the segments on a reasonable basis. Segment assets and liabilities do not include tax recoverable and deferred income taxes. (z) Inter-segment transfers Segment revenues, expenses and result include transfers between segments. The prices charged on inter-segment transactions are based on negotiation basis. These transfers are eliminated on consolidation.
