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

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%.
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

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.

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.

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.
